Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everyone to another edition of the KASR pre Show.
Today is Tuesday, July twenty second. I'm Billy Rutlige along
with Shannon the Dude. You can give us a calling
the Clark's Pumpet Shot phone line. That's eight five nine
two eight ozho two two eight seven text us at
five h two two six five sixty six five six
And as always the case, our pre show is brought
(00:20):
to you by Italics Fine Italian Dining in Lexington here
at the City Center on Main Street. If you haven't
gone and checked it out, you should do so. They've
been a great partner with us over the last year
or so. It's Billy Reutligion Shannon the Dude. And Shannon
told me right as we started, don't screw up or
what was it that you said, you don't ruin it
(00:40):
all for us?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I said, good luck trying not to ruin the show
for all of us out here.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Oh yeah, yeah, okay, well that's great. That's uh. Maybe
the encouraging.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Words I'd like to give you right before we go
on the air.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Yeah, go break a leg out there, you might say
in the theater department, Shannon says, don't screw it up,
and that's a great image to have right before you
go on the radio.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
So we'll try not to screw it up today.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
There are some sports things that we'll discuss, including revenue
sharing numbers and apparel deals with the University of Kentucky.
But we got a game tonight, folks, I mean TBT
Sweet sixteen. It's La Familia versus Eberlin. Drive Shannon, has
this been tickling your fancy this summer? Are you excited
for the game tonight?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
I am yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:19):
But do we have the right pronunciation? Because if it's Eberlin,
I've been butchering it. I've been calling it Eberlin and Eberline.
You're saying as well, I'm not is that the right
pronunc I'm.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Not the authority on this. I may have just butchered it.
So what do you what do you say? It is Eberlin?
Speaker 4 (01:34):
I call it Eberline or Eblin, But you know, Bullet County,
it's probably Eberlin.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
You're probably right on this one. I don't know either way.
It doesn't matter because they're going to get beat tonight.
By listen.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
I did Sayla Familia, right, Although I've heard a lot
of different pronunciations of Lo familia.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
That's true, I think.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Though familiar and all kinds of uh strange pronunciations. But yeah,
I'm looking forward to that tonight. It's gonna be on
FS two. So if you don't have FS one, you
probably don't have FS two. I would imagine where do
I find FS two show. It's right next to It's
like a computer games right next to FS one. Just
go a channel up.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Uh okay, Well if we don't see you there tonight
six pm at Memorial Coliseum watching on Fox Sports two.
Enjoyed the war Ready game so much that I am
a little excited for this one, Shannon, even though Louisville
will not be awaiting on the other side of this game.
Maybe it'll be a little bit of a sideline cancer team.
But I was a little surprised to see how much
(02:33):
local talent is on this Eberlin Drive team or however
you pronounce it, Shannon, did you know that there is
a Bellerman University alum on the team, Pedro Bradshaw is
actually on the team for Ebel and Drive Terry Taylor,
who was a great player for the Bowling Green Purples
for many of the years and went to Austin p
for a couple, Davian McKnight and aj Slaughter to Western
(02:56):
Kentucky Hilltoppers. So I feel like there's a little Kentucky
flair going in with the TVT game tonight.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
I think that maybe that team has more Kentuckians than
Lo Familia does itself right if we're talking about people
who are like you know, you're saying these guys from
Eberlin Drive or Eberline Drive, whatever the team name is,
they are from Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
A lot of these guys I.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Know, Pedro, Bradshaw and Davian McKnight are from Kentucky, along
with Terry Taylor. I'm not sure about Ala. So that's
at least three of the four.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
And how many guys from La Familia do we have
that are actual Kentuckians, not just played at Kentucky but
I mean like actual Kentuckians.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
That's a great question.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I don't mean, I don't know if there's there is
there any.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
So this shows how much we know about.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
What are you saying that more Kentucky than Lo Familia?
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
So are you going to be who do we pull for?
Who do you pull for?
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Going on here?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
The University of Kentucky or the people from the Commonwealth
of Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I mean, I've never been this conflicted.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
TV Would you pull for a true blood, like true
Kentuckian or you know, transplants that played for a year.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
That's a great question, the question you're gonna have to
ask yourself before six pm tonight.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Before you I thought I was one hundred of familiar,
But now I don't know that We're playing against some
great Kentuckians and Iberlin Drive.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah, this wouldn't have been a Jesser game. I'm telling you,
this might be close one. With all these Kentucky kids,
they're gonna want to prove themselves, especially those Western Kentucky kids.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
So I don't know, Shannon. As much fun as this.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Run has been, one team has got to come out
of this as the victors.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
We have the key player, and Eberlin Drive used to
have the key player, but then he transferred over to
He got in the transfer portal for TVT And I'm
talking about Archie Goodwin who played for this Eberlin Drive
team before this is these are his former teammates, and
now that we've got him on our team on La Familia.
I think that's gonna be the difference in the game tonight.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
No, you're exactly right.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
This is one of the two teams left from the
inaugural first season of the TV Team, so it's a
team with a lot of history. But you're right, Archie
has been such a headline these last week or so
and he switched teams and hopefully he'll be the difference
maker for Kentucky tonight.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
And Sean Wood just play him at the right position too,
That's the thing, Sean, Just letting him play at the
position he wants to play at. That's why that you
shoe guy at the two, that's right, that's why he's
having breakout games here, these TVT games.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Going downhill at the point guard spot. And if you
hadn't heard that interview with Archie and Ryan and Drew
from KSR a couple days ago, definitely recommend you going
back and listening to that.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Just the humanity coming out in him.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
And talking about some of the frustrations from his time
at Kentucky was really really good. Now, yesterday Matt returned
to the show, and uh, you know a topic we've
already discussed. His reaction to the Coldplay concert was I
thought funny, you know, because to a degree, you probably
do have some sympathy for the people on the Coldplay
camp just because their life will never be the same. Look,
(05:52):
I mean, you had an affair, it was public. Look,
I'm not going to try to condone that. But at
the same time, the Internet era, it's a strange place, right,
I mean, it's just it's not like anything in human
history before. But Shannon, there's a new study out in
lines with what happened at the Coldplay concert, and I
don't know if I believe it. You know, sometimes we
get these numbers, these percentages these people polled. I don't
(06:14):
know if I believe this. I want to get your
opinion on this.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Oka you're going to ask, like, what percentage of what?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Well, no, I'm just going to give you numbers. Tell
me if you think this is like facts.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Oh, you don't want to think. You don't want to
have me like guess what the numbers might be.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Well, okay, that's I mean that's that we could do
that as well. Why don't we do that?
Speaker 6 (06:29):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
A new study suggests a blank amount of American workers
say that they've had a long term workplace romance. What
percentage of American workers have dated somebody in the workplace?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I'm going to say seventy nine percent.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Seventy nine percent, exactly the right number. You must have
saw this. You saw this stuff, and so okay, so
let me see if you can guess the second. Okay,
there's a blank percentage that have dated their boss or
their superior.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I'm going to say two percent.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Oh my god, I'm all right, you're exactly right.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
I'm not googling either.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
It's almost like we use the same site to get
our stupid topics for this show. But seventy nine percent
of American workers say that they've had a long term
workplace romance, and thirty two percent have dated their boss
or supervised.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Okay, do you believe no, because that feels really high.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I could say it feels really low. But eighty percent.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
So you're telling me like eight out of every ten
people that are that have a job, that are employed
in America have dated.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Somebody a coworker.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Now, look, here's an important distinction. Not all workplace romances
are affairs, right, So this is you know, ultimately there's
a lot of single people in the workplace.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Sure, sure, but I'm saying like, like, Okay, I've never
dated anybody that I've worked with ever and definitely haven't
had an affair with a boss, So I would definitely
take me out of the thirty two percent there.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
So I feel like, you know, you're saying one out
of three.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
People say that they have had a romantic relationship with
their boss.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
That feels really high, Like if you If I didn't
know the study already, I would have said like three percent.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Ten No, I would have.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Said less than that. I guess I'm naive here.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
I would have said like three percent maybe have had
have had an affair with their boss, not thirty two percent.
I mean that that makes me feel like I'm not
normal for not doing it.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
You're not doing enough, Sharon.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
You may be in contract negotiations, not the ones that
you could be in.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I know how to get boss.
Speaker 7 (08:33):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
You know I had the same reaction.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I was like, no, way, thirty two percent have had
in a relationship with a boss or supervisor. One that
feels predatory, doesn't it like if you're in a position
of power.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Uh, it does not feel right. Two, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Going to risk my job by dating somebody in the
work that it is not worth it. No, like, look
at I love what I do. Not everybody can say that.
But at the same time, I'm not going to screw
it up by dating is superior or making it awkward
have you know, getting with somebody in the office. But
they say that a surge of hybrid and remote work
(09:09):
makes it easier and less risk of being seen for things.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Like this, maybe until you go to a Coldplay concert.
But you know, the thing is like, I'm not going
to mix work with personal life like that.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Here's the other thing.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
If you work together and it's well known that you are,
you know, either dating or especially if you're married, right right,
if they fire one, they've got to fire both. So
I can't imagine a situation to where if company goes
in and fires let's say the husband, but then leaves
the wife employed. You want to talk about awkward, you know,
(09:44):
and the wife is going to have hard feelings I'm
sure towards the company at that point, which is why
you know, it's kind of all or nothing at that point.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
And I don't know why you would want to be
in that situation.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
You know, No, you're right, I don't you just you
shouldn't mix and match like that. I'm sure there's numerous
success story. You know, we both work at the same job.
We've dated, it works great. I'm the opposite.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
You know.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
We had opening in sales here and the fiances like, Hey,
I work in sales, how about I come work at
the office, And I'm like, nope, you know, I need
the space. Honestly, we need to separate work in person.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
That's the other thing too, Like you're never away from
your significant other if you're constantly with them at work.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Like I don't know.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
For me, I need some separation. I need some time
where I'm off doing my work stuff. I can focus
on that and not have to worry about girlfriend or
wife drama at work.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Yeah, and that's and that's me, you know, bringing the
fiance in. You know, sometimes you meet at the office,
like I think of our guide Dwight right meeting Susan.
When they met, they they were here at iHeart and
they eventually got married. So I mean, it does happen.
Just try not to do it with your The CEO
of the company and the HR boss. I mean, they
could not be worse when it comes to the roles
in the company. But I'm calling bs on seventy nine
(10:58):
percent of American workers long term relayationship in the workplace
and thirty two percent dating a boss or supervisor.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yeah, I mean who do they ask?
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Did they go to like Ashley Madison dot com to
get that survey?
Speaker 6 (11:09):
Like?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
What are they sure find a bunch of cheaters?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Hey, you want to fill out a quick survey after
your purchase?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Where did they find these people?
Speaker 8 (11:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (11:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
It's a website called Zetti who did the survey and
polled more than a thousand US workers.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
They need to poll a thousand more because I feel
like those numbers would come down like we have even
out like the thousand normal people, not the thousand people
who you know regularly date their boss.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Some really good guesses from you, though, to get exactly
seventy nine and thirty two percent.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
So you know, that's what I'm doing. That's what I'll do.
I'm good.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I'm good at that intuitive sharing the dudes right eight
five nine two oh two two eight seven. If you'd
like to call and tell us about your workplace relationship,
We're going to take an early break here. When we
come back, we'll talk a little baseball I want to
talk a little revenue sharing numbers because there's been a
lot of news actually yesterday about what the University of
Kentucky percent edge wise could be giving the basketball team
(12:02):
compared to the football team. We'll discuss and debate a
lot of this coming up next here on the show.
Before the show, it is the case ourprecia's some.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Drinks after work.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
That's how it starts.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
It's how it started, Keith saying that he warned us
about this drinks after work. Next thing you know, you're
dating your boss.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
The wise Toby Keith was ahead of his time.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
There, thirty two percent dating their boss or supervisor. A
lot of reactions with that on the text line five
two two sixty five six six five six, No wonder
my coworker gets more approved vacation days than me. Could
be the case, I mean, could be the case that
that is helping some in the office. We know Shannon
the dude gets a lot of vacation days. Don't think
that correlates though.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
No, that's about the book.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
You can pull out the iHeartRadio handbook and it will
show you that I get the amount. Now, there's other
people who get more than that. You can figure out
how that happens.
Speaker 8 (12:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Yeah, you can let me know how.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
That also reminded that my parents were a couple that
fell in love at work, Shannon, So maybe my parents
are part of the seventy nine percentre.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
You go then, I mean, how how can you skip
over that? Did you not know that?
Speaker 1 (13:09):
I mean I did, but it didn't didn't register. They
worked at a restaurant together, I believe, is how it
started so as a servers. So it's a story of
young love. I just saw on DraftKings though that La
Familia is a minus three and a half point favor
tonight against Eberlein Drive or Eberlin.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
It's bothering me now. I don't know how to say it.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Just pick one.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
But nevertheless, also learned that Aj Slaughter from Shelby County.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
He's a Kentucky guy.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
So that makes four guys on that TBT team from Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
I think it's official. They're more Kentucky than Law Familia.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
And then somebody said Marquise Wark is our Kentucky guy
on the team. That's that's not somebody that played at
Kentucky but from Kentucky. So that that fits your bill
for lat Familia and you can bet on that on
DraftKings tonight.

It's traditional terms were responsible gaming resources see DKANJ dot co.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Slash Audio one of those sports you can bet on
DraftKings Is Baseball, and last night in the Red Sox
Phillies game, the bases were loaded, it was tied two
to two in the bottom of the tenth, and the
game ended in a catcher's interference. It was the first
walk off catcher interference since nineteen seventy one when the
Dodgers did it versus the Cincinnati Reds and Johnny Bench.
(14:56):
But Shannon talk about a bizarre way to end the game.
The Phillies get win in a walk off catcher's interference,
hit the glove when he did a check swing.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Great, it's the Phillies of all teams.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Yeah, you don't see that very often to begin with, especially,
like you said, nineteen seventy one's the last time that's
happened on a walk off.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Crazy way to end the game.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
You know, you also don't see a whole lot, or
at least I haven't noticed a whole lot since the
pitch clock started of walks because of a pitchclock violation.
But I saw one of those last night in a
game as well. During the Braves Giants game. The pitcher
didn't throw the ball in time. He had three balls already.
It was called ball four.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Speed it up, beat it up, Let's get the ball
out of the plate. We got things to do. That
is baseball in twenty twenty five. Also speaking of baseball, Shannon,
I want you to look at the video I posted
on Twitter this morning at Billy R Sports. I think
it may be one of the greatest athletic feats that
I've ever seen. You know, banana ball has gotten really
popular in years past because I think one of the
(15:55):
rules is that fans can catch a foul ball and
it will be an out. This video is not from
banana ball. It's a man with a beer and a
child in his hands at a baseball game, and he
is able to catch a foul ball with the hand
he is holding the child with, Shannon, are you watching
the video now?
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Looking it right now?
Speaker 4 (16:12):
He nearly drops the child by the way to catch
that ball, like he did a great exchange of the hands,
but that he nearly dropped the kid. And I think
at that point his priority was let's catch this ball.
If the kid falls, well that's too bad. We'll pick
her up and dust her off. But if you look
in that video, the.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Kid is nearly dropped right so her face, beer in
right hand kid in the left and uses the left
to catch the foul ball. Shannon most might drop the
beer to catch the foul ball. He about dropped the
child to catch the foul ball. But everybody's safe. He
was able to actually catch the ball and then the
child before they touched the ground, So they'll harm no.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Foul right, everybody's out. Yeah, the beer, the beer man,
it's fifty, didn't spill either. Fifteen dollars a beer, you know,
that's that's an expensive beer. You can't just drop the beer.
I would duck the foul ball. Who wants Who needs
the foul ball? We don't need that. If I got
a kid in one hand and a beer in the other,
I'm just ducking and letting somebody else deal with it.
I'm not going to try to drop my child to
(17:13):
catch a foul ball.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I think uh, I think
I'd do a lot of what this guy did. Honestly,
I think you might be my my least priority here.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Really, that's not what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
You can't spill the beer. You gotta catch a.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
They'll have a good story five years from now.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Yeah, that bruise you get there, That war on your leg.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Yeah, man, why does your skull have a big intention
in it? Oh Dad wanted to catch a foul ball
at a game and drop me on my head.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
That's why that that foul ball is on the mantle. There, son,
you can go look at it. Let's take a call.
Eight five nine two eight oh two two eight seven.
Who's up first?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Here's go to Sam.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
You say what's up? Sam?
Speaker 9 (17:54):
Hey, guys, I'll be going two things for you this morning. One,
I haven't got sake, it's just but I'm getting I'm
getting ready to because I know the atmosphere tonight and
going forward, if things go well, is going to be electric.
And Two, now, my wife just we've been at a
couple of the shows and believe you've seen us. We
(18:17):
met at Kroger and things got so bad that, you know,
we had to leave jobs. So I think working with
your significany other is a horrible idea. Thank you all
have a good one.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Yeah, thanks Sam. I don't think that's uh, it's very wise.
I'll put it that way like it can work. But again,
you got to think about all the negatives, all the
things that can happen, and is it worth losing your
job because you're dating somebody.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Well, you know, I think there's a lot of truth
in what you said, is that you know you need
a little space from your significant other.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
There are some that can do it right.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
You start a business with your significant other and you
spend every waking moment dealing about money, and that can
bring a lot of stress to our relationship.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
But and if you do end up dating somebod I
think you have to have the conversation. Look, here's what
this means. One of us has got to go find
a new job. We can't co exist here in the workplace.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Well, I mean, if you have that luxury. You know,
sometimes you have a good job and you'd hate to
leave it and start over in a new field. But
you know, the trade off is is that you're with
your significant other at the same time.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I'd say, if you don't want to do that, then
you're going to be single. Yeah, yeah, so kick one
or the other.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Mike is on the line. What's up, Mike, how are you.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (19:29):
I think Kentucky might have the most players left in
this TVT. You know, if you've got work for us
and you've got four on ebrom drive and then that
sideline cancer team. That's Chris Coffee from Louisville played at Georgetown,
and Jacob Conway, who played Georgetown is from Stanford Lincoln County. Yeah,
I think one of Kentucky left in the TV.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Yeah, I think you're right.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
I mean, I don't know where everybody else is from
on the rosters, but I think you would be hard
pressed to find that many players from one state that's
left in the tournament.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Bill Let's a basketball state.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
And you know I think you'd agree with this is
that you know, nobody cares more about the tvt than
the Louisville and Kentucky alumni and these fan bases. So
I'm I'm sure that's a big reason why they wanted
that rematch to happen. It will not happen, but you
know that Kentucky cares about it anything else, Mike.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
Yeah, And I don't.
Speaker 8 (20:18):
I don't believe for a second to Kentucky spending forty
five percent on the basketball team on the revenue share.
Mitch Barnard is way too smart to basically sacrifice a
football team just for the basketball.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Now.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
I don't think it's I think it'll be more than
some of the other teams in the SEC. But it's
not going to be forty five percent. That's a total
boat face live Matt Orlander. It's there's no way that is.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
All right, Mike, let's let's get into that story. We
appreciate the call.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Yesterday, Matt Norlander of CBS Sports posted an article about
the future of college basketball. There's been a lot of frustrations.
We're still in limbo, folks, as this revenue sharing model
is now taking into place and the NIL is still
the wild West. But you know, ultimately you have twenty
point five million dollars to you know, to spread out
(21:11):
per school, right, All Okay, that's the word I'm looking for.
And Matt Norlander reported that Kentucky is going to dedicate
forty five percent of the twenty point five million dollars,
specifically to men's basketball. That'd be about nine point two
million dollars and three times more than any other team
in the SEC. Now, there's been multiple reports from John Hale,
the like Tennaro Leader, and even Matt Jones of Kentucky
(21:34):
Sports Radio that those numbers are not accurate. But Shannon,
what do you think would be the number that Kentucky
should give to the basketball team. This is an interesting
discussion because football is your primary revenue generator. But at
the same time, you could give all your money to
football and you still may not be able to win
a national title or an SEC championship in the SEC.
(21:57):
This is a contentious topic right now, but I don't
think forty five percent is an accurate number from Matt
Matt Orlander.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
Yeah, we talked about this when we were in summrset.
I'm trying to remember, but I like what number I said,
but I think was somewhere around like nine million that.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
I said that I would give to basketball.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Well, that would be about forty five That's about what
I said, And I think, if I'm not mistaken, most
people agreed with me.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
That we're there.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Well, you know, we don't have a lot of time here.
We need to take a break because of this hard break.
But I want to dive into this more about what
would be an appropriate number for a Kentucky because it's
going to be different in different places. We'll be right
back here on the case our pre show. It's all
about money.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
We know this.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
That's why it's been such a strange time in college
athletics over this last five six years, maybe even a
decade or so. But you know, this is an odd
topic when it comes to revenue sharing. It's billy religion. Shannon,
dude here on the case. Our appreciate we'll take your
calls in this segment eight five nine two eight h
two two eight seven. How much do you care about basketball? Like,
how much do you care about the football team? I mean,
maybe you care more about baseball than than others. We
(23:00):
know in this state people care the most about basketball.
And that's why when you see forty five percent of
the possibital revenue share and going to basketball is not
that far fetch, even though these numbers are apparently inaccurate
according to some sources.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
But Shandon, you got to be careful.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
I mean, if you go all your money into basketball,
how could anybody that would want to be a part
of the football program want to be a part of
your football program?
Speaker 8 (23:24):
Right?
Speaker 4 (23:25):
I mean it's tough, yeah, especially like you got to
think about. Okay, let's say that things don't go well
for us in the football season this year, and let's
say we were looking for a new head football coach
next year, how do you entice a football coach to
come coach at Kentucky when they already know you're not
willing to invest as an athletic department in your football team.
(23:48):
It's it's difficult, and Kentucky's in a tough situation because
they have, you know, they're a blue blood in college basketball.
They have all this tradition, and you know, everybody cares
so much about basketball because of again their past success.
And you have a program over here in basketball where
people love that program. But then you've also got over
here your football team, which is your real money maker.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Yeah, you know, your revenue generator.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
So it's a tough situation for them to try to
disperse this money and figure out what percentage is going
to keep both sides happy and get literally the most
bang for your buck.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yeah, And you could simplify it to a decision like this,
would you like Kentucky basketball's floor to be the Elite
eight every year you're making Final four national championships with
the extra revenue sharing that you have, and you're okay
with Kentucky football consistently winning four or five games each year,
or would you rather Kentucky win twenty five games a year,
(24:46):
you know, be a sweet sixteen, Elite eight A potential
to win a national championship every year, but your football
team can win seven or eight games each year. It's
just a tough decision to make because you're right, Channon,
football is the revenue maker, but basketball has a heritage
and his in this state.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
So I think most would choose basketball.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Though, right, Yeah, yeah, I think most would, But.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
I mean, they've been subjected to bad Kentucky football for years.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
But you got to give your football team a fighting chance.
So whatever that number is, and you know that's not
my decision to make, but whatever number, you can keep
your football team competitive to where you are at least
fighting for a chance to be in the conversation of
a conference championship at the end of the year, which
you know, let's be real, it hasn't happened and how long,
(25:30):
not in our lifetime. But you know, we've seen though
that the team can get to ten wins. We have
already seen that. It has been proven. Stoops did it twice,
even though some of those wins were vacated for one season.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Well, even if Will Levis and that team beat Ole
Miss on the road, they had a shot of making
you know, I don't know if it was a conference championship,
but maybe the back end of the college football playoff.
It's it's possible, But like the blue moon needs to
be out and the stars have to align, there is
a lot of circumstances that have to come. And it's
even harder when guys are you coming back and saying
(26:00):
I need a million more dollars.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
And even if you dump a lot more money into football,
that doesn't necessarily equate to wins. Doesn't mean we're going
to wakpoint. I mean you look at NIL and I
go back to just last season Vanderbilt football beat Alabama.
What do you think the difference in NIL money was
between Bama football and Vandy football. So just because you
spend all this money doesn't necessarily mean it's it's going
(26:24):
to equal success. It doesn't. It gives you a better chance,
but it's not guaranteed.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
On the flip side, though, I think if you gave
Mark Pope that kind of budget for NIL, I mean,
I think this sky's the limit.
Speaker 10 (26:36):
Man.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
I mean not to be overly optimistic, but the coaching
job that he's already done with a roster group that
he just brought together last minute, if he's bringing top
of the top guys. I mean, that's the potential as
to you know, is really high there.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Pope already showed last season he could do less with
or more with less.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
But I don't think you punish Pope because he has
that ability to take No. I wouldn't less or lesser
you know, high profile players and have success with them.
So I don't think that he should get punished because
he has that coaching ability. I think you need to
invest in the basketball team, just as you would if
cal we're still here.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Yeah, So like that forty five seems a little high.
I'd probably put it closer to thirty, maybe like sixty
five football, thirty basketball, five other sports.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Oh you think sixty five football, thirty basketball, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Dude, I mean they've got to do eighty plus guys on.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
The rosters, that's true, But I mean it's completely different
how many of those guys are difference makers. I mean
to a degree in the SEC you got to have depth, though, right,
and you know, if you're not going to develop talent
in the same way as you have in years past,
you've just got to be able to go buy a
whole new roster every year.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
But yes, you have eighty guys on your team, but like, yeah,
I think about what percentage of those guys are even seeing.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Only elevens on the field at one time?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Yeah, right, so beget of your backups, of course.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
But I'm just saying, yes, I understand the numbers game
that there's more players obviously on the football team, so
you got to satisfy that. But you know, again, I
don't I think sixty five for football and thirty for
basketball is lopsided.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
But let's say, like forty five is the number you're
pushing Mark Stoops out the door. Like I would see
that as like a real shot at the football program.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Forty five basketball, forty football, and fifteen for whoever's left.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
That'd be a lot for whoever's left. I mean, baseball
team is overjoyed if they're getting fifteen percent, along with
women's basketball and all the other sports.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
But I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Each school is going to be very different, right, And
you know who gets a huge advantage are big East schools.
Think about Saint John's, right, Ricky p is going to
have unlimited budget, you know, or when it comes to
twenty and a half million dollars because they don't have
a football team to.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Do this forty five basketball, fifty football five for everybody else.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
That's definitely a possibility. Okay, definitely, but you're leaving your
football team. He's given you half of our budget football team.
Can you not win off that?
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Come on more?
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Even if they got more, like you said, they may
not hon need more too. All right, let's take some calls.
Who's up first?
Speaker 11 (29:12):
Here?
Speaker 2 (29:13):
It looks like Danny's up next?
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Hey Danny, what's up?
Speaker 7 (29:17):
Hey guys?
Speaker 10 (29:17):
I enjoy your show every morning.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Thank you, Thanks Danny.
Speaker 5 (29:21):
Hey, I didn't. I didn't.
Speaker 10 (29:24):
I didn't know who was on the every team. But
also Davy I Mgnita is also from Chevy County. He
was the twenty twenty Mister Basketball State of Kentucky. Played
Marthlay Collins High School.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Do we see him already?
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Yeah? We did, ok, Yeah we did. I saw him.
Speaker 10 (29:40):
He went to West He went to West Kentucky out
of high school, and then he went to He danced
the last two years at Butler University. But anyway, he's uh,
I've known that kid for growing up.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
He said this.
Speaker 7 (29:52):
Sports my son. They both graduated same year.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Danny.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
The money thing, Danny, you must be conflicted though, real quick.
I mean, if you've known this kid since literally he
was a kid, who are you pulling for you against
the player that you've known since I was a kid.
Speaker 10 (30:09):
Of course, I don't care who it is. I'm I'm
blaming Blue Buddy, just just like just like a lot
of people want men to be successful. I hope, I hope,
I hope Daveon plays well.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (30:23):
Anyway, and on the money thing, I do. I do think, uh,
Chris Barnhardt is a good fair and I think he'll
do a balanced approach and and and do a good job.
Speaker 10 (30:36):
But anyway, the whole money thing is crazy. It's crazy
to begin with. I hate all the transfers.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (30:43):
I do agree with cal and one thing. I do
think that uh transferring one time, no matter what if
you want to, But after that you're gonna have.
Speaker 11 (30:52):
To sit out.
Speaker 10 (30:53):
There has to be some sort of rules in place
and balance because it is crazy the way it is
right now. That's just my personal opinion. Again, Thank you guys.
Enjoy your show every morning and y'all have a great date.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Danny, thank you, thank you. Danny.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Do you agree with Danny?
Speaker 4 (31:10):
You think that maybe you should get a one time
free transfer, don't have to set out, but then put
some sort of rule in place to where guys aren't
going to five different schools in five years.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
No, I disagree because we don't have the same limitations
for coaches. Why are we going to do it for players?
But I do think there needs to be something with nil.
There has to be like a sign an nil deal.
You come here for two to three years at that point,
you know what I mean, this whole like sign this deal,
this pay for play that's gotten out of hand. I
think these one year deals at the NIL I mean
(31:43):
they got to be breaking contract, like leaving schools like this.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
So I some structure there I think needs to come.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
But limiting transfers, I think is just like arguing amateurism.
It's just outdated. At this point, Kentucky gas Man is
on the line. What's up, Kentucky gas Man?
Speaker 6 (32:00):
Hey, guys, just delivering some fuel today.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
How you are doing well?
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Doing great? Man? Good good?
Speaker 6 (32:07):
So Billy, you kind of stole my thunder. I thought
I had an original comment, but I totally agree. I
really do. I think that Mitch Barnhart is going to
use this now forty five percents kind of OUTLANDI but
it is going to be perceived as an unfair number.
And I think, you know, we can't control the big
(32:29):
contract that Mark Stups has, and I think this is
a bitch opportunity to push Snoops out the door. And
I'll just be honest with you, I don't know if
I'll be watching any such football this year. I'm ready
for basketball season and I believe we get number nine
this coming season.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
Oh come on, yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe hopefully for number nine.
But on the football thing, Kentucky gas man, you know,
if Kentucky comes out and they blow out Toledo and
then they come back and they beat Old Miss, you're
going to be all that and right, you know you will.
Speaker 6 (33:12):
Year after year after year in that time of the season.
We've been disappointed. You know, we had the seasons where
we went four and oh and that was that was awesome.
After that, we're just not seen. That's an excitement like that.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
Yeah, I got it, all right, thanks, thank you.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
I guess man, I appreciate it.
Speaker 10 (33:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
I mean, if if they beat Toledo and then beat
Ole Miss, I mean we can go dance and show some.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Pumpkin patch I mean, the stars are alive. I'm glad you.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
Brought the pumpkin patch. There was a tragedy in the
pumpkin patch last night. Well, you know, I'm trying to
like care for these pumpkins and do everything I can
to prevent them.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
From uh you know your gardener now.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
So I was putting down some some straw underneath the pumpkins,
and when I picked this pumpkin up, it snapped off
the stem the steff. So now I have a loose
pumpkin that's that's yellow. And what are you gonna do
with it? You just I don't know, it says, set
it out in the sun for seven to ten days
and let it cure.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
I think it's dead. You can cure a bit off
the vine. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
It just came off so easily. I go, oh no,
So you still got a few left, right? That wasn't
Oh yeah, no, I've got a bunch of other one
we were counting on. No, but that was one that
was big, and I was like, I don't want it
to break off yet, and just broke off. So now
I've got a pumpkin on July twenty second.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
As long as we can get one to October thirty first.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
Yeah, one, Yeah, I was wanting multiple. I see, I'm
going for quantity, not necessarily the size of the pumpkins.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
I just want a lot of pumpkins.
Speaker 4 (34:37):
I don't care if it's I'd rather have a lot
of smaller pumpkins than one huge one.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Well, you figured you were going to screw up at
least once or twice, So I mean this is yeah,
just you're playing the numbers game.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
I think that's a heady play.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
You can do the Charlie Brown giant pumpkin maybe when
you're a little more experienced. That's right back to the
gas man's point though, forty five percent. That's why I
think that is a misreported number because that would be
I think pushing Stup out the door. That's three times
more than what the average SEC team would give. And
I think Mitch Barnhardt, after this long tenured by Stoops,
would want to thank him. To a degree. That's just
(35:09):
not how Mitchell gepperates. I think you can't be he's
too short sighted about this.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
Again, if you cut the amount of money you're giving
to football, and you do that and it forces Stoops
out the door, you got to think about who's coming
in next, right, Who wants to come Who wants that drown? Yeah?
Who wants to come in to a program that's not
not being invested in?
Speaker 11 (35:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:26):
I mean the SEC is a great opportunity. But if
you can't compete in the SEC, who would that attract to?
I mean, if you're trying to attract John Summer all,
maybe he has those Kentucky rootsmen would want to come back,
But at the outside looking in, it would not be
a good situation.
Speaker 6 (35:39):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
The standard you're.
Speaker 4 (35:43):
Already fighting an uphill battle was Kentucky football and the SEC,
you know is and if you're not investing in it,
then I don't know how does it get better.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
It's a big decision that Mitch Barnhardt will have to
make here in the coming months. We need to take
a break though. Eight five nine two eight zero two
two eight seven. It is the show before the show,
the ypre Show. We'll be right back, welcome back. It's
our final segment of the ksrpre Show, Billy and the Dude.
We'll hand it off to Matt and the guys. You're
coming up next at ten am. Before we get there,
Shannon tell us about one of our sponsors here in

Speaker 1 (36:56):
Couple news notes and we'll get back to the phones.
The KSR Golf Scramble in Somerset is going to go
on sale tomorrow, so be ready for that Woodsen and
Bend resort. We have a good time up there every year,
and there's just a big fire out there actually in
a condo building. Hopefully everybody's okay, but we will still
be doing the golf scramble that goes on sale tomorrow. Also,
according to Jeff Drummond of The Cats Illustrated, Kentucky is
(37:19):
expected to sign another long term deal with Nike. Kentucky
switched from Converse to Nike back in nineteen ninety seven.
Nike has since bought Converse, but Shannon the last deal
was for about forty seven million dollars in twenty thirteen.
I'm gonna guess it will be north of that, but
Kentucky will continue to be a Nike school.
Speaker 4 (37:36):
Yeah, feels like that's a good relationship that's worked out
pretty well for Kentucky over the years, and they're going
to continue that. That's a lot of money to bring
in too for that partnership.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
And they learned from their mistakes, right. They brought the
checkerboard on. It's it's gone. So I mean, you either
win or you learn, right. Where have we heard that before?
Eight five nine two eight h two two eight seven.
Let's go back to the phones. I believe Freebird is
our next caller, what's up, free bird?
Speaker 5 (38:01):
Hey, quick clush. The revenue sharing that we're talking about
is this on top of the conference money going out
to every school.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
So each school gets money from the conference is a payout,
but then each school gets twenty million dollars to pay
their players directly. No longer can score players get money
from collectives anymore, they have to get it from the
actual school. The school only gets twenty point five million
dollars to pay out to all players in the entire
(38:34):
athletic department.
Speaker 5 (38:37):
So could this forty seven million Nike's going to give
Can any of that money can go to anything except
uniforms and all that jazz? Because I'm thinking forty forty
and twenty, you know, do it evenly?
Speaker 3 (38:51):
You know, I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
I mean, could some of that Nike money be used
to the twenty million that goes toward the players.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
Possibly?
Speaker 1 (38:57):
But you know that Kentucky has got to make more
money as we've seen them raise ticket prices, you know,
change things when it comes to kids having to have
a ticket at Repperena. So they're trying to make money
to make up for having to pay their athletes directly.
Speaker 4 (39:10):
I mean, how are we going to pay for these
light up backpacks. They all had a sec media do
is well they everybody had it.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
They don't.
Speaker 4 (39:15):
They don't pay for themselves light up.
Speaker 5 (39:17):
They're going to money people out of not wanting to
come to a game because now everybody's got to contribute
to the cave butt and repperena. And they keep going up.
I mean, it's a Pandora's bumps, fellas, it's all a
ham off. Shut up and let you all get back
to business.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Yep, well, thank you for you bird.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
He's right, continue to go up, and it's there's no
end to it.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
Right in the the cost is getting passed to the
consumer and to this point it takes away our tailgating
spots and makes us pay more for tickets.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
Let's take one more call. Less is on the line.
What's up, Less?
Speaker 11 (39:50):
Good morning?
Speaker 8 (39:50):
Man?
Speaker 11 (39:51):
Uh? I need information on what channeled games on at
six pm.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Today's too FS two.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
If you don't have FS one, as we said earlier,
you probably don't have FS two.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
That Fox Sports two.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
And I think it's Fox Sports Live as well. If
you wanted to go online to find the game. If
you can't find it FS two on your TV Okay.
Speaker 11 (40:13):
Another thing is I've been following Kentucky basketball for sixty
eight years and I'm not familiar with this last familiar
Where is that coming from? And why don't we have
something about UK in it?
Speaker 2 (40:30):
That's a John Caliperi thing.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
Yeah, you know, he would always use the term La Familia,
and that's the team name that they chose.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Yeah, and the alumni coming back, they're all part of
La Familia. It was a cow moniker and even on KSR,
they talked about changing the name. Shane, did we ever
come up with any good enough nos?
Speaker 4 (40:48):
No, you know, I heard some goings though. I liked
one that was called past Cats. I kind of like
that one. Yeah, there was another one said why don't
we just call the blue Bloods? Kind of like that one. Yeah,
of Core's another.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
The blue Balls, suggestion that somebody had new Ballers.
Speaker 4 (41:02):
I believe it was. Of course, nothing will ever be
better than devastation. Incorporate it. That would be my pick.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
But you know whatever, I don't think they're going to
change it.
Speaker 1 (41:11):
No, but we are conflicted with all these Kentucky guys
on the roster for the team on the TVT game tonight,
so that will be.
Speaker 4 (41:18):
It's like me, me, what's that song? Me me, me
more cowboy than you. I think they're saying, me, me
me more Kentucky than you. I think that's what Abraline
Driver is saying.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
What a pull? That's right, last thirty seconds of the show.
Speaker 4 (41:31):
Tell me about Draft Raft King sportsbook promo code KSR.
If you sign up as a new customer, you bet
five dollars, get one hundred and fifty and bonus bets.
That's the deal for new customers, only only with promo
code ks ARE.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
And only on DraftKings. The crown is yours.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
All right, that's gonna do it for us. Today the
show before the show, the KSR pre show.
Speaker 1 (41:48):
Matt and the guys are coming up next there live
here in studio in Lexington as we ate for ks
Bar and Grill to open back up for Shannon.
Speaker 3 (41:56):
I'm Billy. This has been the show before the show.
We will talk to you tomorrow
Welcome everyone to another edition of the KASR pre Show.
Today is Tuesday, July twenty second. I'm Billy Rutlige along
with Shannon the Dude. You can give us a calling
the Clark's Pumpet Shot phone line. That's eight five nine
two eight ozho two two eight seven text us at
five h two two six five sixty six five six
And as always the case, our pre show is brought
(00:20):
to you by Italics Fine Italian Dining in Lexington here
at the City Center on Main Street. If you haven't
gone and checked it out, you should do so. They've
been a great partner with us over the last year
or so. It's Billy Reutligion Shannon the Dude. And Shannon
told me right as we started, don't screw up or
what was it that you said, you don't ruin it
(00:40):
all for us?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I said, good luck trying not to ruin the show
for all of us out here.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Oh yeah, yeah, okay, well that's great. That's uh. Maybe
the encouraging.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Words I'd like to give you right before we go
on the air.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Yeah, go break a leg out there, you might say
in the theater department, Shannon says, don't screw it up,
and that's a great image to have right before you
go on the radio.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
So we'll try not to screw it up today.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
There are some sports things that we'll discuss, including revenue
sharing numbers and apparel deals with the University of Kentucky.
But we got a game tonight, folks, I mean TBT
Sweet sixteen. It's La Familia versus Eberlin. Drive Shannon, has
this been tickling your fancy this summer? Are you excited
for the game tonight?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
I am yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:19):
But do we have the right pronunciation? Because if it's Eberlin,
I've been butchering it. I've been calling it Eberlin and Eberline.
You're saying as well, I'm not is that the right
pronunc I'm.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Not the authority on this. I may have just butchered it.
So what do you what do you say? It is Eberlin?
Speaker 4 (01:34):
I call it Eberline or Eblin, But you know, Bullet County,
it's probably Eberlin.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
You're probably right on this one. I don't know either way.
It doesn't matter because they're going to get beat tonight.
By listen.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
I did Sayla Familia, right, Although I've heard a lot
of different pronunciations of Lo familia.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
That's true, I think.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Though familiar and all kinds of uh strange pronunciations. But yeah,
I'm looking forward to that tonight. It's gonna be on
FS two. So if you don't have FS one, you
probably don't have FS two. I would imagine where do
I find FS two show. It's right next to It's
like a computer games right next to FS one. Just
go a channel up.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Uh okay, Well if we don't see you there tonight
six pm at Memorial Coliseum watching on Fox Sports two.
Enjoyed the war Ready game so much that I am
a little excited for this one, Shannon, even though Louisville
will not be awaiting on the other side of this game.
Maybe it'll be a little bit of a sideline cancer team.
But I was a little surprised to see how much
(02:33):
local talent is on this Eberlin Drive team or however
you pronounce it, Shannon, did you know that there is
a Bellerman University alum on the team, Pedro Bradshaw is
actually on the team for Ebel and Drive Terry Taylor,
who was a great player for the Bowling Green Purples
for many of the years and went to Austin p
for a couple, Davian McKnight and aj Slaughter to Western
(02:56):
Kentucky Hilltoppers. So I feel like there's a little Kentucky
flair going in with the TVT game tonight.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
I think that maybe that team has more Kentuckians than
Lo Familia does itself right if we're talking about people
who are like you know, you're saying these guys from
Eberlin Drive or Eberline Drive, whatever the team name is,
they are from Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
A lot of these guys I.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Know, Pedro, Bradshaw and Davian McKnight are from Kentucky, along
with Terry Taylor. I'm not sure about Ala. So that's
at least three of the four.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
And how many guys from La Familia do we have
that are actual Kentuckians, not just played at Kentucky but
I mean like actual Kentuckians.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
That's a great question.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I don't mean, I don't know if there's there is
there any.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
So this shows how much we know about.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
What are you saying that more Kentucky than Lo Familia?
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
So are you going to be who do we pull for?
Who do you pull for?
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Going on here?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
The University of Kentucky or the people from the Commonwealth
of Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I mean, I've never been this conflicted.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
TV Would you pull for a true blood, like true
Kentuckian or you know, transplants that played for a year.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
That's a great question, the question you're gonna have to
ask yourself before six pm tonight.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Before you I thought I was one hundred of familiar,
But now I don't know that We're playing against some
great Kentuckians and Iberlin Drive.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah, this wouldn't have been a Jesser game. I'm telling you,
this might be close one. With all these Kentucky kids,
they're gonna want to prove themselves, especially those Western Kentucky kids.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
So I don't know, Shannon. As much fun as this.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Run has been, one team has got to come out
of this as the victors.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
We have the key player, and Eberlin Drive used to
have the key player, but then he transferred over to
He got in the transfer portal for TVT And I'm
talking about Archie Goodwin who played for this Eberlin Drive
team before this is these are his former teammates, and
now that we've got him on our team on La Familia.
I think that's gonna be the difference in the game tonight.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
No, you're exactly right.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
This is one of the two teams left from the
inaugural first season of the TV Team, so it's a
team with a lot of history. But you're right, Archie
has been such a headline these last week or so
and he switched teams and hopefully he'll be the difference
maker for Kentucky tonight.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
And Sean Wood just play him at the right position too,
That's the thing, Sean, Just letting him play at the
position he wants to play at. That's why that you
shoe guy at the two, that's right, that's why he's
having breakout games here, these TVT games.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Going downhill at the point guard spot. And if you
hadn't heard that interview with Archie and Ryan and Drew
from KSR a couple days ago, definitely recommend you going
back and listening to that.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Just the humanity coming out in him.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
And talking about some of the frustrations from his time
at Kentucky was really really good. Now, yesterday Matt returned
to the show, and uh, you know a topic we've
already discussed. His reaction to the Coldplay concert was I
thought funny, you know, because to a degree, you probably
do have some sympathy for the people on the Coldplay
camp just because their life will never be the same. Look,
(05:52):
I mean, you had an affair, it was public. Look,
I'm not going to try to condone that. But at
the same time, the Internet era, it's a strange place, right,
I mean, it's just it's not like anything in human
history before. But Shannon, there's a new study out in
lines with what happened at the Coldplay concert, and I
don't know if I believe it. You know, sometimes we
get these numbers, these percentages these people polled. I don't
(06:14):
know if I believe this. I want to get your
opinion on this.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Oka you're going to ask, like, what percentage of what?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Well, no, I'm just going to give you numbers. Tell
me if you think this is like facts.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Oh, you don't want to think. You don't want to
have me like guess what the numbers might be.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Well, okay, that's I mean that's that we could do
that as well. Why don't we do that?
Speaker 6 (06:29):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
A new study suggests a blank amount of American workers
say that they've had a long term workplace romance. What
percentage of American workers have dated somebody in the workplace?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I'm going to say seventy nine percent.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Seventy nine percent, exactly the right number. You must have
saw this. You saw this stuff, and so okay, so
let me see if you can guess the second. Okay,
there's a blank percentage that have dated their boss or
their superior.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I'm going to say two percent.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Oh my god, I'm all right, you're exactly right.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
I'm not googling either.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
It's almost like we use the same site to get
our stupid topics for this show. But seventy nine percent
of American workers say that they've had a long term
workplace romance, and thirty two percent have dated their boss
or supervised.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Okay, do you believe no, because that feels really high.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I could say it feels really low. But eighty percent.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
So you're telling me like eight out of every ten
people that are that have a job, that are employed
in America have dated.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Somebody a coworker.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Now, look, here's an important distinction. Not all workplace romances
are affairs, right, So this is you know, ultimately there's
a lot of single people in the workplace.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Sure, sure, but I'm saying like, like, Okay, I've never
dated anybody that I've worked with ever and definitely haven't
had an affair with a boss, So I would definitely
take me out of the thirty two percent there.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
So I feel like, you know, you're saying one out
of three.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
People say that they have had a romantic relationship with
their boss.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
That feels really high, Like if you If I didn't
know the study already, I would have said like three percent.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Ten No, I would have.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Said less than that. I guess I'm naive here.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
I would have said like three percent maybe have had
have had an affair with their boss, not thirty two percent.
I mean that that makes me feel like I'm not
normal for not doing it.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
You're not doing enough, Sharon.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
You may be in contract negotiations, not the ones that
you could be in.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I know how to get boss.
Speaker 7 (08:33):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
You know I had the same reaction.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I was like, no, way, thirty two percent have had
in a relationship with a boss or supervisor. One that
feels predatory, doesn't it like if you're in a position
of power.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Uh, it does not feel right. Two, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Going to risk my job by dating somebody in the
work that it is not worth it. No, like, look
at I love what I do. Not everybody can say that.
But at the same time, I'm not going to screw
it up by dating is superior or making it awkward
have you know, getting with somebody in the office. But
they say that a surge of hybrid and remote work
(09:09):
makes it easier and less risk of being seen for things.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Like this, maybe until you go to a Coldplay concert.
But you know, the thing is like, I'm not going
to mix work with personal life like that.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Here's the other thing.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
If you work together and it's well known that you are,
you know, either dating or especially if you're married, right right,
if they fire one, they've got to fire both. So
I can't imagine a situation to where if company goes
in and fires let's say the husband, but then leaves
the wife employed. You want to talk about awkward, you know,
(09:44):
and the wife is going to have hard feelings I'm
sure towards the company at that point, which is why
you know, it's kind of all or nothing at that point.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
And I don't know why you would want to be
in that situation.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
You know, No, you're right, I don't you just you
shouldn't mix and match like that. I'm sure there's numerous
success story. You know, we both work at the same job.
We've dated, it works great. I'm the opposite.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
You know.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
We had opening in sales here and the fiances like, Hey,
I work in sales, how about I come work at
the office, And I'm like, nope, you know, I need
the space. Honestly, we need to separate work in person.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
That's the other thing too, Like you're never away from
your significant other if you're constantly with them at work.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Like I don't know.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
For me, I need some separation. I need some time
where I'm off doing my work stuff. I can focus
on that and not have to worry about girlfriend or
wife drama at work.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Yeah, and that's and that's me, you know, bringing the
fiance in. You know, sometimes you meet at the office,
like I think of our guide Dwight right meeting Susan.
When they met, they they were here at iHeart and
they eventually got married. So I mean, it does happen.
Just try not to do it with your The CEO
of the company and the HR boss. I mean, they
could not be worse when it comes to the roles
in the company. But I'm calling bs on seventy nine
(10:58):
percent of American workers long term relayationship in the workplace
and thirty two percent dating a boss or supervisor.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yeah, I mean who do they ask?
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Did they go to like Ashley Madison dot com to
get that survey?
Speaker 6 (11:09):
Like?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
What are they sure find a bunch of cheaters?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Hey, you want to fill out a quick survey after
your purchase?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Where did they find these people?
Speaker 8 (11:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (11:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
It's a website called Zetti who did the survey and
polled more than a thousand US workers.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
They need to poll a thousand more because I feel
like those numbers would come down like we have even
out like the thousand normal people, not the thousand people
who you know regularly date their boss.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Some really good guesses from you, though, to get exactly
seventy nine and thirty two percent.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
So you know, that's what I'm doing. That's what I'll do.
I'm good.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I'm good at that intuitive sharing the dudes right eight
five nine two oh two two eight seven. If you'd
like to call and tell us about your workplace relationship,
We're going to take an early break here. When we
come back, we'll talk a little baseball I want to
talk a little revenue sharing numbers because there's been a
lot of news actually yesterday about what the University of
Kentucky percent edge wise could be giving the basketball team
(12:02):
compared to the football team. We'll discuss and debate a
lot of this coming up next here on the show.
Before the show, it is the case ourprecia's some.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Drinks after work.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
That's how it starts.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
It's how it started, Keith saying that he warned us
about this drinks after work. Next thing you know, you're
dating your boss.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
The wise Toby Keith was ahead of his time.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
There, thirty two percent dating their boss or supervisor. A
lot of reactions with that on the text line five
two two sixty five six six five six, No wonder
my coworker gets more approved vacation days than me. Could
be the case, I mean, could be the case that
that is helping some in the office. We know Shannon
the dude gets a lot of vacation days. Don't think
that correlates though.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
No, that's about the book.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
You can pull out the iHeartRadio handbook and it will
show you that I get the amount. Now, there's other
people who get more than that. You can figure out
how that happens.
Speaker 8 (12:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Yeah, you can let me know how.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
That also reminded that my parents were a couple that
fell in love at work, Shannon, So maybe my parents
are part of the seventy nine percentre.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
You go then, I mean, how how can you skip
over that? Did you not know that?
Speaker 1 (13:09):
I mean I did, but it didn't didn't register. They
worked at a restaurant together, I believe, is how it
started so as a servers. So it's a story of
young love. I just saw on DraftKings though that La
Familia is a minus three and a half point favor
tonight against Eberlein Drive or Eberlin.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
It's bothering me now. I don't know how to say it.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Just pick one.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
But nevertheless, also learned that Aj Slaughter from Shelby County.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
He's a Kentucky guy.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
So that makes four guys on that TBT team from Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
I think it's official. They're more Kentucky than Law Familia.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
And then somebody said Marquise Wark is our Kentucky guy
on the team. That's that's not somebody that played at
Kentucky but from Kentucky. So that that fits your bill
for lat Familia and you can bet on that on
DraftKings tonight.
Speaker 4 (13:54):

It's traditional terms were responsible gaming resources see DKANJ dot co.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Slash Audio one of those sports you can bet on
DraftKings Is Baseball, and last night in the Red Sox
Phillies game, the bases were loaded, it was tied two
to two in the bottom of the tenth, and the
game ended in a catcher's interference. It was the first
walk off catcher interference since nineteen seventy one when the
Dodgers did it versus the Cincinnati Reds and Johnny Bench.
(14:56):
But Shannon talk about a bizarre way to end the game.
The Phillies get win in a walk off catcher's interference,
hit the glove when he did a check swing.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Great, it's the Phillies of all teams.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Yeah, you don't see that very often to begin with, especially,
like you said, nineteen seventy one's the last time that's
happened on a walk off.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Crazy way to end the game.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
You know, you also don't see a whole lot, or
at least I haven't noticed a whole lot since the
pitch clock started of walks because of a pitchclock violation.
But I saw one of those last night in a
game as well. During the Braves Giants game. The pitcher
didn't throw the ball in time. He had three balls already.
It was called ball four.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Speed it up, beat it up, Let's get the ball
out of the plate. We got things to do. That
is baseball in twenty twenty five. Also speaking of baseball, Shannon,
I want you to look at the video I posted
on Twitter this morning at Billy R Sports. I think
it may be one of the greatest athletic feats that
I've ever seen. You know, banana ball has gotten really
popular in years past because I think one of the
(15:55):
rules is that fans can catch a foul ball and
it will be an out. This video is not from
banana ball. It's a man with a beer and a
child in his hands at a baseball game, and he
is able to catch a foul ball with the hand
he is holding the child with, Shannon, are you watching
the video now?
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Looking it right now?
Speaker 4 (16:12):
He nearly drops the child by the way to catch
that ball, like he did a great exchange of the hands,
but that he nearly dropped the kid. And I think
at that point his priority was let's catch this ball.
If the kid falls, well that's too bad. We'll pick
her up and dust her off. But if you look
in that video, the.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Kid is nearly dropped right so her face, beer in
right hand kid in the left and uses the left
to catch the foul ball. Shannon most might drop the
beer to catch the foul ball. He about dropped the
child to catch the foul ball. But everybody's safe. He
was able to actually catch the ball and then the
child before they touched the ground, So they'll harm no.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Foul right, everybody's out. Yeah, the beer, the beer man,
it's fifty, didn't spill either. Fifteen dollars a beer, you know,
that's that's an expensive beer. You can't just drop the beer.
I would duck the foul ball. Who wants Who needs
the foul ball? We don't need that. If I got
a kid in one hand and a beer in the other,
I'm just ducking and letting somebody else deal with it.
I'm not going to try to drop my child to
(17:13):
catch a foul ball.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I think uh, I think
I'd do a lot of what this guy did. Honestly,
I think you might be my my least priority here.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Really, that's not what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
You can't spill the beer. You gotta catch a.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
They'll have a good story five years from now.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Yeah, that bruise you get there, That war on your leg.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Yeah, man, why does your skull have a big intention
in it? Oh Dad wanted to catch a foul ball
at a game and drop me on my head.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
That's why that that foul ball is on the mantle. There, son,
you can go look at it. Let's take a call.
Eight five nine two eight oh two two eight seven.
Who's up first?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Here's go to Sam.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
You say what's up? Sam?
Speaker 9 (17:54):
Hey, guys, I'll be going two things for you this morning. One,
I haven't got sake, it's just but I'm getting I'm
getting ready to because I know the atmosphere tonight and
going forward, if things go well, is going to be electric.
And Two, now, my wife just we've been at a
couple of the shows and believe you've seen us. We
(18:17):
met at Kroger and things got so bad that, you know,
we had to leave jobs. So I think working with
your significany other is a horrible idea. Thank you all
have a good one.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Yeah, thanks Sam. I don't think that's uh, it's very wise.
I'll put it that way like it can work. But again,
you got to think about all the negatives, all the
things that can happen, and is it worth losing your
job because you're dating somebody.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Well, you know, I think there's a lot of truth
in what you said, is that you know you need
a little space from your significant other.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
There are some that can do it right.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
You start a business with your significant other and you
spend every waking moment dealing about money, and that can
bring a lot of stress to our relationship.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
But and if you do end up dating somebod I
think you have to have the conversation. Look, here's what
this means. One of us has got to go find
a new job. We can't co exist here in the workplace.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Well, I mean, if you have that luxury. You know,
sometimes you have a good job and you'd hate to
leave it and start over in a new field. But
you know, the trade off is is that you're with
your significant other at the same time.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I'd say, if you don't want to do that, then
you're going to be single. Yeah, yeah, so kick one
or the other.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Mike is on the line. What's up, Mike, how are you.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (19:29):
I think Kentucky might have the most players left in
this TVT. You know, if you've got work for us
and you've got four on ebrom drive and then that
sideline cancer team. That's Chris Coffee from Louisville played at Georgetown,
and Jacob Conway, who played Georgetown is from Stanford Lincoln County. Yeah,
I think one of Kentucky left in the TV.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Yeah, I think you're right.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
I mean, I don't know where everybody else is from
on the rosters, but I think you would be hard
pressed to find that many players from one state that's
left in the tournament.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Bill Let's a basketball state.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
And you know I think you'd agree with this is
that you know, nobody cares more about the tvt than
the Louisville and Kentucky alumni and these fan bases. So
I'm I'm sure that's a big reason why they wanted
that rematch to happen. It will not happen, but you
know that Kentucky cares about it anything else, Mike.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
Yeah, And I don't.
Speaker 8 (20:18):
I don't believe for a second to Kentucky spending forty
five percent on the basketball team on the revenue share.
Mitch Barnard is way too smart to basically sacrifice a
football team just for the basketball.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Now.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
I don't think it's I think it'll be more than
some of the other teams in the SEC. But it's
not going to be forty five percent. That's a total
boat face live Matt Orlander. It's there's no way that is.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
All right, Mike, let's let's get into that story. We
appreciate the call.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Yesterday, Matt Norlander of CBS Sports posted an article about
the future of college basketball. There's been a lot of frustrations.
We're still in limbo, folks, as this revenue sharing model
is now taking into place and the NIL is still
the wild West. But you know, ultimately you have twenty
point five million dollars to you know, to spread out
(21:11):
per school, right, All Okay, that's the word I'm looking for.
And Matt Norlander reported that Kentucky is going to dedicate
forty five percent of the twenty point five million dollars,
specifically to men's basketball. That'd be about nine point two
million dollars and three times more than any other team
in the SEC. Now, there's been multiple reports from John Hale,
the like Tennaro Leader, and even Matt Jones of Kentucky
(21:34):
Sports Radio that those numbers are not accurate. But Shannon,
what do you think would be the number that Kentucky
should give to the basketball team. This is an interesting
discussion because football is your primary revenue generator. But at
the same time, you could give all your money to
football and you still may not be able to win
a national title or an SEC championship in the SEC.
(21:57):
This is a contentious topic right now, but I don't
think forty five percent is an accurate number from Matt
Matt Orlander.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
Yeah, we talked about this when we were in summrset.
I'm trying to remember, but I like what number I said,
but I think was somewhere around like nine million that.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
I said that I would give to basketball.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Well, that would be about forty five That's about what
I said, And I think, if I'm not mistaken, most
people agreed with me.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
That we're there.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Well, you know, we don't have a lot of time here.
We need to take a break because of this hard break.
But I want to dive into this more about what
would be an appropriate number for a Kentucky because it's
going to be different in different places. We'll be right
back here on the case our pre show. It's all
about money.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
We know this.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
That's why it's been such a strange time in college
athletics over this last five six years, maybe even a
decade or so. But you know, this is an odd
topic when it comes to revenue sharing. It's billy religion. Shannon,
dude here on the case. Our appreciate we'll take your
calls in this segment eight five nine two eight h
two two eight seven. How much do you care about basketball? Like,
how much do you care about the football team? I mean,
maybe you care more about baseball than than others. We
(23:00):
know in this state people care the most about basketball.
And that's why when you see forty five percent of
the possibital revenue share and going to basketball is not
that far fetch, even though these numbers are apparently inaccurate
according to some sources.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
But Shandon, you got to be careful.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
I mean, if you go all your money into basketball,
how could anybody that would want to be a part
of the football program want to be a part of
your football program?
Speaker 8 (23:24):
Right?
Speaker 4 (23:25):
I mean it's tough, yeah, especially like you got to
think about. Okay, let's say that things don't go well
for us in the football season this year, and let's
say we were looking for a new head football coach
next year, how do you entice a football coach to
come coach at Kentucky when they already know you're not
willing to invest as an athletic department in your football team.
(23:48):
It's it's difficult, and Kentucky's in a tough situation because
they have, you know, they're a blue blood in college basketball.
They have all this tradition, and you know, everybody cares
so much about basketball because of again their past success.
And you have a program over here in basketball where
people love that program. But then you've also got over
here your football team, which is your real money maker.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Yeah, you know, your revenue generator.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
So it's a tough situation for them to try to
disperse this money and figure out what percentage is going
to keep both sides happy and get literally the most
bang for your buck.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yeah, And you could simplify it to a decision like this,
would you like Kentucky basketball's floor to be the Elite
eight every year you're making Final four national championships with
the extra revenue sharing that you have, and you're okay
with Kentucky football consistently winning four or five games each year,
or would you rather Kentucky win twenty five games a year,
(24:46):
you know, be a sweet sixteen, Elite eight A potential
to win a national championship every year, but your football
team can win seven or eight games each year. It's
just a tough decision to make because you're right, Channon,
football is the revenue maker, but basketball has a heritage
and his in this state.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
So I think most would choose basketball.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Though, right, Yeah, yeah, I think most would, But.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
I mean, they've been subjected to bad Kentucky football for years.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
But you got to give your football team a fighting chance.
So whatever that number is, and you know that's not
my decision to make, but whatever number, you can keep
your football team competitive to where you are at least
fighting for a chance to be in the conversation of
a conference championship at the end of the year, which
you know, let's be real, it hasn't happened and how long,
(25:30):
not in our lifetime. But you know, we've seen though
that the team can get to ten wins. We have
already seen that. It has been proven. Stoops did it twice,
even though some of those wins were vacated for one season.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Well, even if Will Levis and that team beat Ole
Miss on the road, they had a shot of making
you know, I don't know if it was a conference championship,
but maybe the back end of the college football playoff.
It's it's possible, But like the blue moon needs to
be out and the stars have to align, there is
a lot of circumstances that have to come. And it's
even harder when guys are you coming back and saying
(26:00):
I need a million more dollars.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
And even if you dump a lot more money into football,
that doesn't necessarily equate to wins. Doesn't mean we're going
to wakpoint. I mean you look at NIL and I
go back to just last season Vanderbilt football beat Alabama.
What do you think the difference in NIL money was
between Bama football and Vandy football. So just because you
spend all this money doesn't necessarily mean it's it's going
(26:24):
to equal success. It doesn't. It gives you a better chance,
but it's not guaranteed.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
On the flip side, though, I think if you gave
Mark Pope that kind of budget for NIL, I mean,
I think this sky's the limit.
Speaker 10 (26:36):
Man.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
I mean not to be overly optimistic, but the coaching
job that he's already done with a roster group that
he just brought together last minute, if he's bringing top
of the top guys. I mean, that's the potential as
to you know, is really high there.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Pope already showed last season he could do less with
or more with less.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
But I don't think you punish Pope because he has
that ability to take No. I wouldn't less or lesser
you know, high profile players and have success with them.
So I don't think that he should get punished because
he has that coaching ability. I think you need to
invest in the basketball team, just as you would if
cal we're still here.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Yeah, So like that forty five seems a little high.
I'd probably put it closer to thirty, maybe like sixty
five football, thirty basketball, five other sports.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Oh you think sixty five football, thirty basketball, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Dude, I mean they've got to do eighty plus guys on.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
The rosters, that's true, But I mean it's completely different
how many of those guys are difference makers. I mean
to a degree in the SEC you got to have depth, though, right,
and you know, if you're not going to develop talent
in the same way as you have in years past,
you've just got to be able to go buy a
whole new roster every year.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
But yes, you have eighty guys on your team, but like, yeah,
I think about what percentage of those guys are even seeing.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Only elevens on the field at one time?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Yeah, right, so beget of your backups, of course.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
But I'm just saying, yes, I understand the numbers game
that there's more players obviously on the football team, so
you got to satisfy that. But you know, again, I
don't I think sixty five for football and thirty for
basketball is lopsided.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
But let's say, like forty five is the number you're
pushing Mark Stoops out the door. Like I would see
that as like a real shot at the football program.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Forty five basketball, forty football, and fifteen for whoever's left.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
That'd be a lot for whoever's left. I mean, baseball
team is overjoyed if they're getting fifteen percent, along with
women's basketball and all the other sports.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
But I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Each school is going to be very different, right, And
you know who gets a huge advantage are big East schools.
Think about Saint John's, right, Ricky p is going to
have unlimited budget, you know, or when it comes to
twenty and a half million dollars because they don't have
a football team to.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Do this forty five basketball, fifty football five for everybody else.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
That's definitely a possibility. Okay, definitely, but you're leaving your
football team. He's given you half of our budget football team.
Can you not win off that?
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Come on more?
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Even if they got more, like you said, they may
not hon need more too. All right, let's take some calls.
Who's up first?
Speaker 11 (29:12):
Here?
Speaker 2 (29:13):
It looks like Danny's up next?
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Hey Danny, what's up?
Speaker 7 (29:17):
Hey guys?
Speaker 10 (29:17):
I enjoy your show every morning.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Thank you, Thanks Danny.
Speaker 5 (29:21):
Hey, I didn't. I didn't.
Speaker 10 (29:24):
I didn't know who was on the every team. But
also Davy I Mgnita is also from Chevy County. He
was the twenty twenty Mister Basketball State of Kentucky. Played
Marthlay Collins High School.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Do we see him already?
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Yeah? We did, ok, Yeah we did. I saw him.
Speaker 10 (29:40):
He went to West He went to West Kentucky out
of high school, and then he went to He danced
the last two years at Butler University. But anyway, he's uh,
I've known that kid for growing up.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
He said this.
Speaker 7 (29:52):
Sports my son. They both graduated same year.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Danny.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
The money thing, Danny, you must be conflicted though, real quick.
I mean, if you've known this kid since literally he
was a kid, who are you pulling for you against
the player that you've known since I was a kid.
Speaker 10 (30:09):
Of course, I don't care who it is. I'm I'm
blaming Blue Buddy, just just like just like a lot
of people want men to be successful. I hope, I hope,
I hope Daveon plays well.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (30:23):
Anyway, and on the money thing, I do. I do think, uh,
Chris Barnhardt is a good fair and I think he'll
do a balanced approach and and and do a good job.
Speaker 10 (30:36):
But anyway, the whole money thing is crazy. It's crazy
to begin with. I hate all the transfers.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (30:43):
I do agree with cal and one thing. I do
think that uh transferring one time, no matter what if
you want to, But after that you're gonna have.
Speaker 11 (30:52):
To sit out.
Speaker 10 (30:53):
There has to be some sort of rules in place
and balance because it is crazy the way it is
right now. That's just my personal opinion. Again, Thank you guys.
Enjoy your show every morning and y'all have a great date.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Danny, thank you, thank you. Danny.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Do you agree with Danny?
Speaker 4 (31:10):
You think that maybe you should get a one time
free transfer, don't have to set out, but then put
some sort of rule in place to where guys aren't
going to five different schools in five years.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
No, I disagree because we don't have the same limitations
for coaches. Why are we going to do it for players?
But I do think there needs to be something with nil.
There has to be like a sign an nil deal.
You come here for two to three years at that point,
you know what I mean, this whole like sign this deal,
this pay for play that's gotten out of hand. I
think these one year deals at the NIL I mean
(31:43):
they got to be breaking contract, like leaving schools like this.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
So I some structure there I think needs to come.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
But limiting transfers, I think is just like arguing amateurism.
It's just outdated. At this point, Kentucky gas Man is
on the line. What's up, Kentucky gas Man?
Speaker 6 (32:00):
Hey, guys, just delivering some fuel today.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
How you are doing well?
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Doing great? Man? Good good?
Speaker 6 (32:07):
So Billy, you kind of stole my thunder. I thought
I had an original comment, but I totally agree. I
really do. I think that Mitch Barnhart is going to
use this now forty five percents kind of OUTLANDI but
it is going to be perceived as an unfair number.
And I think, you know, we can't control the big
(32:29):
contract that Mark Stups has, and I think this is
a bitch opportunity to push Snoops out the door. And
I'll just be honest with you, I don't know if
I'll be watching any such football this year. I'm ready
for basketball season and I believe we get number nine
this coming season.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
Oh come on, yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe hopefully for number nine.
But on the football thing, Kentucky gas man, you know,
if Kentucky comes out and they blow out Toledo and
then they come back and they beat Old Miss, you're
going to be all that and right, you know you will.
Speaker 6 (33:12):
Year after year after year in that time of the season.
We've been disappointed. You know, we had the seasons where
we went four and oh and that was that was awesome.
After that, we're just not seen. That's an excitement like that.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
Yeah, I got it, all right, thanks, thank you.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
I guess man, I appreciate it.
Speaker 10 (33:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
I mean, if if they beat Toledo and then beat
Ole Miss, I mean we can go dance and show some.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Pumpkin patch I mean, the stars are alive. I'm glad you.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
Brought the pumpkin patch. There was a tragedy in the
pumpkin patch last night. Well, you know, I'm trying to
like care for these pumpkins and do everything I can
to prevent them.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
From uh you know your gardener now.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
So I was putting down some some straw underneath the pumpkins,
and when I picked this pumpkin up, it snapped off
the stem the steff. So now I have a loose
pumpkin that's that's yellow. And what are you gonna do
with it? You just I don't know, it says, set
it out in the sun for seven to ten days
and let it cure.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
I think it's dead. You can cure a bit off
the vine. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
It just came off so easily. I go, oh no,
So you still got a few left, right? That wasn't
Oh yeah, no, I've got a bunch of other one
we were counting on. No, but that was one that
was big, and I was like, I don't want it
to break off yet, and just broke off. So now
I've got a pumpkin on July twenty second.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
As long as we can get one to October thirty first.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
Yeah, one, Yeah, I was wanting multiple. I see, I'm
going for quantity, not necessarily the size of the pumpkins.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
I just want a lot of pumpkins.
Speaker 4 (34:37):
I don't care if it's I'd rather have a lot
of smaller pumpkins than one huge one.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Well, you figured you were going to screw up at
least once or twice, So I mean this is yeah,
just you're playing the numbers game.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
I think that's a heady play.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
You can do the Charlie Brown giant pumpkin maybe when
you're a little more experienced. That's right back to the
gas man's point though, forty five percent. That's why I
think that is a misreported number because that would be
I think pushing Stup out the door. That's three times
more than what the average SEC team would give. And
I think Mitch Barnhardt, after this long tenured by Stoops,
would want to thank him. To a degree. That's just
(35:09):
not how Mitchell gepperates. I think you can't be he's
too short sighted about this.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
Again, if you cut the amount of money you're giving
to football, and you do that and it forces Stoops
out the door, you got to think about who's coming
in next, right, Who wants to come Who wants that drown? Yeah?
Who wants to come in to a program that's not
not being invested in?
Speaker 11 (35:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:26):
I mean the SEC is a great opportunity. But if
you can't compete in the SEC, who would that attract to?
I mean, if you're trying to attract John Summer all,
maybe he has those Kentucky rootsmen would want to come back,
But at the outside looking in, it would not be
a good situation.
Speaker 6 (35:39):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
The standard you're.
Speaker 4 (35:43):
Already fighting an uphill battle was Kentucky football and the SEC,
you know is and if you're not investing in it,
then I don't know how does it get better.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
It's a big decision that Mitch Barnhardt will have to
make here in the coming months. We need to take
a break though. Eight five nine two eight zero two
two eight seven. It is the show before the show,
the ypre Show. We'll be right back, welcome back. It's
our final segment of the ksrpre Show, Billy and the Dude.
We'll hand it off to Matt and the guys. You're

Speaker 1 (36:56):
Couple news notes and we'll get back to the phones.
The KSR Golf Scramble in Somerset is going to go
on sale tomorrow, so be ready for that Woodsen and
Bend resort. We have a good time up there every year,
and there's just a big fire out there actually in
a condo building. Hopefully everybody's okay, but we will still
be doing the golf scramble that goes on sale tomorrow. Also,
according to Jeff Drummond of The Cats Illustrated, Kentucky is
(37:19):
expected to sign another long term deal with Nike. Kentucky
switched from Converse to Nike back in nineteen ninety seven.
Nike has since bought Converse, but Shannon the last deal
was for about forty seven million dollars in twenty thirteen.
I'm gonna guess it will be north of that, but
Kentucky will continue to be a Nike school.
Speaker 4 (37:36):
Yeah, feels like that's a good relationship that's worked out
pretty well for Kentucky over the years, and they're going
to continue that. That's a lot of money to bring
in too for that partnership.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
And they learned from their mistakes, right. They brought the
checkerboard on. It's it's gone. So I mean, you either
win or you learn, right. Where have we heard that before?
Eight five nine two eight h two two eight seven.
Let's go back to the phones. I believe Freebird is
our next caller, what's up, free bird?
Speaker 5 (38:01):
Hey, quick clush. The revenue sharing that we're talking about
is this on top of the conference money going out
to every school.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
So each school gets money from the conference is a payout,
but then each school gets twenty million dollars to pay
their players directly. No longer can score players get money
from collectives anymore, they have to get it from the
actual school. The school only gets twenty point five million
dollars to pay out to all players in the entire
(38:34):
athletic department.
Speaker 5 (38:37):
So could this forty seven million Nike's going to give
Can any of that money can go to anything except
uniforms and all that jazz? Because I'm thinking forty forty
and twenty, you know, do it evenly?
Speaker 3 (38:51):
You know, I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
I mean, could some of that Nike money be used
to the twenty million that goes toward the players.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
Possibly?
Speaker 1 (38:57):
But you know that Kentucky has got to make more
money as we've seen them raise ticket prices, you know,
change things when it comes to kids having to have
a ticket at Repperena. So they're trying to make money
to make up for having to pay their athletes directly.
Speaker 4 (39:10):
I mean, how are we going to pay for these
light up backpacks. They all had a sec media do
is well they everybody had it.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
They don't.
Speaker 4 (39:15):
They don't pay for themselves light up.
Speaker 5 (39:17):
They're going to money people out of not wanting to
come to a game because now everybody's got to contribute
to the cave butt and repperena. And they keep going up.
I mean, it's a Pandora's bumps, fellas, it's all a
ham off. Shut up and let you all get back
to business.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
Yep, well, thank you for you bird.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
He's right, continue to go up, and it's there's no
end to it.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
Right in the the cost is getting passed to the
consumer and to this point it takes away our tailgating
spots and makes us pay more for tickets.
Speaker 3 (39:45):
Let's take one more call. Less is on the line.
What's up, Less?
Speaker 11 (39:50):
Good morning?
Speaker 8 (39:50):
Man?
Speaker 11 (39:51):
Uh? I need information on what channeled games on at
six pm.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Today's too FS two.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
If you don't have FS one, as we said earlier,
you probably don't have FS two.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
That Fox Sports two.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
And I think it's Fox Sports Live as well. If
you wanted to go online to find the game. If
you can't find it FS two on your TV Okay.
Speaker 11 (40:13):
Another thing is I've been following Kentucky basketball for sixty
eight years and I'm not familiar with this last familiar
Where is that coming from? And why don't we have
something about UK in it?
Speaker 2 (40:30):
That's a John Caliperi thing.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
Yeah, you know, he would always use the term La Familia,
and that's the team name that they chose.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Yeah, and the alumni coming back, they're all part of
La Familia. It was a cow moniker and even on KSR,
they talked about changing the name. Shane, did we ever
come up with any good enough nos?
Speaker 4 (40:48):
No, you know, I heard some goings though. I liked
one that was called past Cats. I kind of like
that one. Yeah, there was another one said why don't
we just call the blue Bloods? Kind of like that one. Yeah,
of Core's another.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
The blue Balls, suggestion that somebody had new Ballers.
Speaker 4 (41:02):
I believe it was. Of course, nothing will ever be
better than devastation. Incorporate it. That would be my pick.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
But you know whatever, I don't think they're going to
change it.
Speaker 1 (41:11):
No, but we are conflicted with all these Kentucky guys
on the roster for the team on the TVT game tonight,
so that will be.
Speaker 4 (41:18):
It's like me, me, what's that song? Me me, me
more cowboy than you. I think they're saying, me, me
me more Kentucky than you. I think that's what Abraline
Driver is saying.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
What a pull? That's right, last thirty seconds of the show.
Speaker 4 (41:31):
