Welcome to two of Kentucky Sports Radio present it by
Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
Welcome back Tucky Sports Radio Hour number two eight. I'm
nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. Phone's a
little slow today, Shanny. You think it's just like the
Monday Kentucky blue light hangover effect.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Yeah, Mondays are always slow, you know, coming off the
weekend you get again.
Speaker 6 (01:21):
I mean, there's nothing to be fair.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
Not a lot happened this week in terms of the
world of sports, but we'll still like to hear from you.
It's a good chance to get in if you've never
been in before. Eight five ' nine two eight oh
twenty two eighty seven. One person writes, Matt, I think
you're hard on Ryan's facts. I'm actually writing them down
as we go so that I can use them with friends.
They're gonna be very surprised to find out. Brock vandergriff
(01:44):
is a leader. That's what you should do.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
With these That's okay.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
You remember that when he's leading the team out there
and has commanded the huddle, and you're gonna like that.
Everybody's gonna like that. Maybe you heard it first here
on KSR.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
I am gonna like it, one person writes, Matt, Will
Ryan and and Shannon watch any of the Democratic convention
this week.
Speaker 6 (02:04):
It's a good question. Will you all watch any of it?
Speaker 7 (02:07):
You know it was this week?
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Yeah, I'm Withdrew. I didn't even know what was going on.
Where do I find this? Like on like CNN or
like every channel, every channel, even on the ESPN uh SPN.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
But I think they show the conventions on all the
news channels and then they usually show like an hour
on the network.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Yeah, I mean I may catch the highlights. I don't
think I'm gonna set.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
There highlights to look at the way Joe Biden broke
down this speech.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
No, I don't know that they'll they'll do that. So
you're I'm going to chalk you up as a no.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yeah, that's all right.
Speaker 7 (02:40):
What about you, Drew, Uh, that's gonna be a no.
Speaker 8 (02:44):
If we set in my toe, if we set my
total at one minute watched, I would take the under there.
Speaker 7 (02:49):
I don't have any intentions.
Speaker 6 (02:51):
What about you, Ryan?
Speaker 7 (02:52):
You have fun?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
I think the the only Democratic convention I've ever watched
is the one I attended live in person.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
And after there in person, Matt, you know, it really
kind of diminishes.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Once you get that atmosphere. You see boys to men
warm up it's really hard.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Yeah, you see Michelle Obama's booty. I mean, you're no
more you want.
Speaker 7 (03:09):
To do goodness.
Speaker 6 (03:14):
Is what is wrong with him.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
But the problem is I'm not there, because if I
was there, I would give him a stayer right now
and he would know that that was a mistake.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Like they like not there, like the Tubby stare that
Tubby used to give his players on him.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Give it to me.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
Yeah, yes, all right.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
One person writes, Matt, I have a question for you,
and by the way, this is the question I get
a lot, uh, Drew, So I think it's worth answering.
Would you like to hear how is it that Kamala
Harris will be the nominee if she never won any
of the primes.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
I think that's a good question, don't you, Shannon, Like
I feel like that's a good question.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Yeah, I don't have the answer.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
Let me ask, well, actually, let me get a Ryan guess.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Ryan, how do you think they pick the nominees to
run for president? The Republican and Democratic nominees. Do you
know the answer to this? Most people don't, By the way,
I would bet ninety percent of the people listening to
this don't actually know how someone becomes president becomes the
candidate for their party.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
Do you know right?
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Each each state has their delegates and they each state, Uh,
basically comes together for one candidate and then they how.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
Do they decide who the delegates are? That I don't know, okay, Drew.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Do you know how they decide who the delegates are
for the conventions?
Speaker 7 (04:38):
Uh? Blind draw. I just know that we bounce around
and stand.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
They draw people.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
They draw people out of a hat and say you're
going to be a delegate this year.
Speaker 8 (04:47):
I just know that anyone can be a delegate, as
we proved, h we didn't get We stood with them at.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Every year with New Hampshire.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
Shannon, do you know how you get to be a delegate?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
No? I don't have a clue.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
I don't even Okay, So this.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
Is for both parties. Here's how they do it, okay.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Used to be that the party, the leaders of the
party would pick the delegates and then they would go
to the convention and they would pick the candidates. And
it used to be until like the fifties and sixties, Ryan,
I bet you didn't know there were no primaries at all.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
Did you know that there were no conies, No the.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
Delegates would go to a convention and then they would
pick and often they would fight with each other, and
sometimes local counties would have elections to pick the delegates.
So you'd have Shannon like an election to pick between
Ryan and Drew to decide who's going to go pick
the president.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
You couldn't no, no idea.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
But then they decided like in the fifties, some states
in the fifties, some states in the sixties, some of
the seventies.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
You know, that doesn't seem very fair, that's not very democratic.
So then they start having primary races.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
But what people don't know is when you go to
vote in the primary for like Donald Trump or Joe
Biden or whatever, you're actually Ryan, I don't I bet
you don't know this. You're really not votevoting for them.
You're voting for them to get to pick who the
delegates are. Does that make sense, Yeah, So you're.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
Actually not voting for Donald Trump to be the nominee.
You're voting for Donald Trump's campaign to get to pick
the delegates. So we had fifty primary campaigns. Biden I
think won all of them.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
So Biden got to pick all the delegates. But when
he drops out whoever he picked Ryan. They now are
free in theory.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
To go pick whoever they want, and they basically the majority.
I don't know how many have all decided to pick Harris,
but they didn't have to. As a matter of fact,
I suspect there will be people in that building who
will pick someone else. They are free to do it.
But she will have the most and she will win.
But that's how she was picked. So when people say, well,
she didn't want a primary, that's true, but that's not
(06:56):
how we do it.
Speaker 6 (06:57):
We picked the person Ryan, who picks the delicate. But
you didn't know that, did you.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
No, So I guess so like they would say the
Grace Day of Kentucky has one delegate for Matt Jones
and thirteen for Kamala Harrick.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
Well you may remember we did that, like when we
went to the Trump convict convention, Like there were a
lot of delegates there who were pledged to like Ted
Cruz or or somebody like that, Bernie. But when we
went to the Democrat yes, Bernie, remember that woman screaming
that day at the convention. They were committed to Bernie
(07:30):
because he had won enough of the state.
Speaker 6 (07:31):
That he got to pick him.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
So this time Biden I think, got to pick them
all because nobody ran against him. But when they get there, Ryan,
in theory they could pick whoever they wanted.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Well, when you explain like that, it doesn't seem very
democratic at all.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
We don't.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Really the public's really not picking it who they.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
Went on for.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
That's why when people get on when people go crazy
about the primary, and they go, it's not this is
an unprecedented whatever democracy.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
No, it's not. That process hasn't really never been democratic.
I think it's the opid process. By the way, why
do we go way, Shana, Why do we pick people
to go pick for us?
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Why don't we just pick ourselves? It would make more sense,
But that's not what we do when they go to
the Yes, that was the woman who yelled when we went.
Speaker 6 (08:16):
To the Democratic convention. Yes.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
But but the answer probably is, like Shannon, a situation
like this, what if everybody picked somebody and then they
drop out or something happens to him.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
Then who's the candidate? Right? Yeah, So they create like
this so that other people can pick them.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
So there's your little civics lesson for the day. All right,
give us our next interesting fact right.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
All right, Well, we're going right tackle, and this is
another position where most people probably had no idea who
the starter was. Right guard and right tackle a complete
mystery going into fall camp. But we're gonna give it
to Gerald Minci, the transfer from Tennessee. He's also the
largest of all the starting offensive lineman at three hundred
and thirty five pounds.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
He's a big dude. But even though he's big, he
likes to write poetry.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
And he says three hundred and thirty five pounds, he's
the biggest offensive lineman. Comes from the University of Tennessee
and likes to write poetry.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yes, Gerald Mincy, all.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
Right, Shannon, interesting fact.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Ryan, congratulations, you finally got right.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
He writes poetry. I love it.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
It took his sixth one, but I think he's starting
to understand the aside.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
That's right, he's getting it.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
Yeah, comes from Tennessee. I believe Drew.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Wasn't this guy like a crazy high recruit coming out
of high school?
Speaker 6 (09:36):
Or is that somebody else?
Speaker 8 (09:37):
I mean, I don't know about crazy hobby that has
a big recruit. He also played a year at Florida.
He started at Florida, then two years at Tennessee.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Alright, so he went through the SEC. Yeah, yeah, all
the schools before he goes That's fine with me. All right, Drew,
what's your fact?
Speaker 8 (09:52):
I'm going to stay in the uh middle linebacker with
Derek Jackson would call him d jack. He's gone through
a lot of invert He tore his achilles in April
twenty twenty one. They said he'd missed the whole season.
He was back practicing by October. It's a little superhuman there.
And then he was the lowest rank recruit in Kentucky's
twenty twenty class. I believe an interesting fact about that
(10:14):
he came to a camp to earn his scholarship. He
and his dad slept in the car during their visit
and lexingtondn't end up working out for him. Now, he's
some teams have him or some of the publications hav
ingim this preseason all SEC this year. He's been amazing
for UK and this season he's dedicating to his grandmother,
who passed away last spring shortly after he had a
career day against Louisville and the Governor's Cup.
Speaker 7 (10:35):
So all the.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
Sorry, what a great story. So I'm gonna go back
to that he came to a camp and I guess
because he wasn't on an official visit, they couldn't put
him up and he and his dad slept in their
car to be able to come to the camp.
Speaker 8 (10:51):
According to a story on on three Sports, which I trust, yes,
he was just not that highly ready to recruit, like
I said, the lowest in the class. And then of
course he's twenty something games for UK, has been a
real star and on the NFL's radar.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Well, Ryan, that's gotta make like, how can that not
be your favorite player? Like a guy who goes through
that Derek Jackson. Ryan, that's gonna I'm I knew him
as a player, but I didn't know that part of
his story.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
Ryan, that's gonna be my favorite player of the year.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
And he's you know, he's a He's a hitter too, man.
I think people love him because he goes out there
and he just he'll he'll knock your jock off if
he hit him a chance.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
He's a big time hitter.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
That big player though big player.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
You know, Shannon, I don't know what to do about it.
He's the oldest, right, so it's not gonna you know.
The thing is, it's not gonna get any better thing
with him, Like, it's not gonna like all of a sudden,
He's gonna be more like normal.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
More mature, older, you get the lesson care.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
You know. That's unfortunately.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
That was interesting.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Good job, that's the best one so far.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
Yes, all right, Ryan, what's your next offensive.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
We're going to stand on the line. We're going tight end.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Josh Katis came in as the same year with Dane,
so I've got to know him really well. He's been
at my house a couple of times, and I told
this story when all the players were there at the
house and they were eating and talking, My son was
sitting just Josiah was sitting over by himself on the couch,
and Joshkatis was the only one that walked over there
and sat beside me and carried on a legit conversation
with Josie.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
And I said all that to me, that showed a
lot of what kind of person he is.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
He's a great guy, always somebody that goes to the
children's hospital for visits and stuff. But on the football field,
he's a badass. I mean, he's caught a couple of
touchdown passes. We've seen him make these just mammoth blocks
on the football field. His dad was a tight end
at Michigan. His dad played for the Cincinnati Bengals. But
the one interesting fact that Matt will probably scratch it all.
He loves to play pickleball. He's a big.
Speaker 6 (12:45):
Well there's my least favorite player of the year. So
all right.
Speaker 7 (12:49):
Brothers also on the team, just to add that, right.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
All right, So Shannon, he likes pickleball and talked to
Joe side interesting pat fact.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
When he visits kids hospital. I feel I gotta give
him a yeah, you.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
Don't fall for the sympathy. Well that you are getting
soft in your old age.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
All right? Drew one last one before the break? What
is it?
Speaker 8 (13:14):
Another guy we all love to root for. JJ Weaver.
We know so much about him. I'm not gonna take
the easy way out and say he has six fingers.
Speaker 7 (13:22):
That's a common fact.
Speaker 9 (13:23):
He was our.
Speaker 8 (13:23):
Governor's Cup MVP last year having a big game, and
he recently won the Kentucky Pro Football Hall of Fame's
Ron Butler Character and Adversity Award. A lot of people
know what he's been through. He lost his father, lost
his high school coach had a season ending injury and
going through all that. Last year a media days he
opened up about his struggles and then he started a
(13:44):
campus support group called the Perfect Fit Support Group for
people just need some help over at UK, and this
year it will be available to all students.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
I love this kid for no other reason than just
that one. I mean, this is a guy who is
create helped create an organization the UK that will long
outlive him JJ Weaver. I mean he's made it to
where basically any athlete at UK, on any sport who's
dealing with any mental like chat like, you know, mental
health issue can get the treatment that they need from
(14:17):
the university.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
That wasn't odd always the case.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
JJ helped set that up and Ryan, if there was
nothing else, that dude is gonna leave a long legacy
at UK. I watched a whole presentation about it that
the health people did for other people in mental health,
you know, working in it. What an awesome story and
I hope that kid has a massive year.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
I think people love him not just a football player,
but the type of person he is and he's proven
it now for six years. He will go down like
some of these great players we've had over the years.
Maybe not had great success on the field, but just
the type of person here and the and legacy they leave.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
That's what he's gonna be all about.
Speaker 8 (14:56):
We could do a whole show on what he does
off the field. Has a icicle drive, always doing stuff
in the community.
Speaker 7 (15:03):
He's a deserves it.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
You want your kid to have a perspective on the
world like JJ Weaver does, so big salute to him.
Red State Barbecue has been serving quality smoke meets to
central Kentucky for nearly fourteen years, seven days a week.
You can go to Red State get brisket, uh you know,
fall off the bone, ribs, pork wings, they got all
of it. And they have specialties a smoked half chicken,
(15:25):
a smoke strip loin on Saturdays and Sundays. It's great stuff.
Don't forget the mac and cheese. It's so good, probably
the best in the city. It's Red State Barbecue forty
twenty Georgetown Road in Lexington, forty twenty Georgetown Road. Red
State Barbecue will take a break, very back, take your
calls A five nine, two eight oh, twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
It's KSR, welcome back.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
Take you Sports Radio A five, nine, two, eight oh,
twenty two eighty seven. A couple of things real quick
before we go to the phones. Uh, the KSR preseason
high school football rakings came out the real game start
this week. Boyle County number one in the state. Nine
of ten votes for first place went to Boyle County.
Trinity was second and had one vote, and Frederick Douglas
was third.
Speaker 6 (16:05):
Riding you like those rankings.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yeah, Boyle County's really good.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
They've got the Quisenberry kid, who maybe the best player
in the state right now. So and Douglas has to
play down at Boyle County this year, and they played
Trinity at home.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
They got both those teams.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
So they played the number one, so their number three
they play one and two, right, Yeah, yeah, so you
get a chance to decide. Uh see what see if
you guys are any good, one person writes Matt. Let's
say Trump were to drop out tomorrow. What would happen then, Shannon,
do you know what would happen?
Speaker 4 (16:33):
Then jd Vance would be.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
The Well maybe, but what they would do is until September.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Eighth, the candidates are not set set. So if he
dropped out, they would have Channon like a virtual convention.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
They literally have a.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
Conference call and all the delegates that Trump picked in
each state, they would decide who their candidate is. You
see what I'm saying. So they would like literally get
on a conference call and they'd be like, I vote
for and then they would just and whoever got the
most Shannon would be the candidate.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Okay, So well, I mean I think.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
That would be yeah, that would be that. That would
be quite a zoom call that I'd like to listen to.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
Who's up first, Well, let's go to Pops.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Pops, how are you doing good?
Speaker 10 (17:26):
Thank you Ryan, So glad that you got on the board.
We was getting worried about you.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Yeah, me too.
Speaker 10 (17:33):
And uh I think UK ready for this football and
the basketball to get started. Ye, I'm very anxious for it.
And I want to get a shout out to the
twelve U Camelsville, gall Rick and Lea. They won the
US Championship and they got beat by instead of the world,
(17:56):
they got beat in the world in the championship game
War Games, they got by the Demicant Republic Dominican.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
So Campbellsville, a group of kids from Campbellsville played against
the Dominican Republic kids.
Speaker 10 (18:12):
It was for the World Series and the cal Rickons.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
That is very cool. Well I didn't know that. When
did this happen, sir?
Speaker 10 (18:20):

appreciate the call. How about that, Ryan?
Speaker 10 (18:43):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (18:44):
You know some people think, right, cal Ripkins even better
than Little League, isn't it?
Speaker 6 (18:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:49):
I think it was ten U and they played Southeastern
of Lexington in the National Championship. Two Kentucky teams were
in the United States Championship. Campbellsville won to go to
the World Series. They got beat. So I just kind
of tell you how good youth baseball is in this state.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
No kidding, that's awesome. Well, good for them, Good for
both those schools. I didn't know about either one of those.
And you know Taylor County and the Dominican public. I'd
like to have heard the pregame handshakes for that one, Drew,
wouldn't you?
Speaker 8 (19:21):
Oh yeah, Now, I think we got to get Ryan
too the cal Ripken Stadium and check that off his
bucket list too.

Speaker 11 (19:38):
How you guys doing today?
Speaker 6 (19:40):
Good?
Speaker 11 (19:42):
I got an interesting fact. It's not about the University
of Kentucky football, but it's about the University of Alabama
and me being a football fan in general. Me being
a football fan in general, I found this ad like fascinating. Okay,
one of their players can run twenty miles an hour
(20:05):
better than really twenty, But I.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
Don't know what that means, Like when you say run
twenty miles an hour, Like, how many Kentucky guys can
run twenty miles an hour?
Speaker 6 (20:13):
Like, I don't have any mess to comparison.
Speaker 11 (20:15):
That's well, that's the thing you can look up. I
haven't done this yet, but you can look up the
stats because they have these things that clip onto the
shoulder pads of all these college players that will monitor
their speed, their heart rate, and their recovery throughout practice.
And I haven't looked up Kentucky's yet, but I'd say
(20:36):
it's pretty good because we got some click Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
See, I just don't know, Like like like Drew, I
don't know what that means. I appreciate the call like
it's twenty I mean twenty miles an hour sounds fast
to me, but like do a ton of athletes do that? Like,
I don't know what I don't really know what that means.
Speaker 8 (20:52):
I can put a little perspective on it for what
it means. Alabama, they almost doubled the amount from last
year under Saban. I think they had twenty three players
that could do it last year. Oh, they have forty one.
So it's showing how Alabama's changing. He prioritized no, bigger, stronger,
and Kaylen de bor is looking to play with quicker, faster.
So it's more about Alabama doubling the amount of people
and kind of changing how they'll play moving forward.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
That's interesting. Like Shannon, what would be the top speed
of US? Oh? Seven?
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Maybe eight?
Speaker 6 (21:23):
More than seven. I bet we could get to.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Okay, get on a treadmill, set it at eight and
see if you can do it.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
Yeah, but that's eight at a consistent pace. I'm saying,
you just run as hard as you can. What do
you think our top speed would be at our.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Mech like what you can peek at?
Speaker 6 (21:40):
Yeah? What we know?
Speaker 5 (21:41):
I mean I couldn't run. I couldn't run three consistently.
The question is could you run like we just spread
and we hit our top speed?
Speaker 6 (21:49):
What are we hitting?
Speaker 4 (21:51):
I don't think we're going over ten.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
I think ambient Matt could probably hit ten. I think
he thought he could that day.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
I could beat it. Sorry, what's your next fact? Shannon
or not shaded? Sorry?
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Ryan, Okay, I'm gonna go to a running back.
Speaker 10 (22:07):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Even though Demi Sumo Kongbay may be the starter of
the first two games and I got I do have
a good story about him.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
Hold on, First of all, say the name again.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Demi Sumo Kongbay.
Speaker 6 (22:15):
He did it.
Speaker 7 (22:16):
Yeah, it too parties, but he got it.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
He's been at our house last two years. Uh.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
You know you have Dante girls, burgers and hot dogs.
He's got all kinds of food and the cold makes
all this food. Demmy always has a massive plate of food,
finishes it and then doubles that and triples that to
take home like he makes. He takes a take home
box of food that's bigger than any of the offensive
lineman when he's that.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
That's what I'm gonna talk about.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
I'm gonna talk about because he's the starter and you're
supposed to do it on the starters. Well, I was
going to be interesting fact about dem A is that
he eats a lot of food.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Interesting fact sh leftover left.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Yeah. Now you're a poor college kid and somebody's giving
me food.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
You load up all right, quickly? What's your brother one?
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Okay? Chip Training is going to be the mains guy.
You know he's he's hurt. He's gonna miss a couple
of games.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
His real first name is Diamante. By the way, we
called him Chip train him. And here's his interesting fact.
He started at Arizona, transferred to Ohio State, actually played
linebacker at Ohio State before moving back over to running back.
He's played and he played running back and linebacker at
Ohio State.
Speaker 6 (23:27):
Shannon Verdict. I'll give it a correct. Yeah, he gets one.
We'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
TJ Smith, personal injury attorney, called TJ.
Speaker 7 (23:36):
He'll make them pay now.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
More of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's
Matt Jones.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
Welcome back Tucky Sports Radio. I want to make one,
uh one quick little what do.
Speaker 6 (23:48):
You call it?
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Correction to one of the things I said earlier in
Kentucky drew with the with the primaries. We actually do
it slightly different than I said, which is each in
Kentucky picks their own delegates and then the parties have
agreed that whoever wins the primary, that's who those people.
Speaker 6 (24:08):
Will vote for.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
Does that make sense, which means actually, in the primary,
you're not picking anybody, You're just picking like something. I
just I think what people don't realize is it hasn't
happened in a long time. But Ryan, when you were
a kid, those conventions could have a lot of controversy
because you didn't even know who the nominee would be.
Speaker 6 (24:27):
Yet.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
I would prefer to go back to those days, to
be honest, like this, just in the formality of rubber
stamping who is that we all know the candidate's gonna
be go.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
That's kind of what I hope the Democrats would do.
By the way, when Biden dropped out, I hope they
would just let it be an open convention, because Shannon,
you would watch if like you didn't know who it
was gonna be, and everybody was arguing.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
Yeah, and if we could find out, like well they
show they're on live TV.
Speaker 6 (24:51):
Who, it would be like a reality show.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
Remember when we did the thing where like we stood
in the groups and they would go the great state
of I know, oh, home of Potatoes, and then they
say the things right. That would be like they would
be announcing for the first time the votes, and it
would be like Survivor. Wouldn't it be kind of exciting?
Speaker 4 (25:12):
I think people would actually tune in to watch that.
Speaker 6 (25:14):
Of course they would.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
I don't think there's any doubt that people would quickly
Basketball recruiting Drew update people. You know Friday, I said,
I thought it was Kentucky Obama with Jasper Johnson. I've
kind of been tuned out of it this weekend, so
I don't know the latest. It feels like it ebbed
and flowed. Where is it right now? From what you're hearing,
it is a roller coaster, is what it is.
Speaker 8 (25:36):
I can't remember a recruitment with this much drama winding down.
He's still aiming for the end of this month, thinking
about eight nine days away. But you know, we hear
a lot that it was narrowed down to UK and Alabama.
Then Travis Brandam, I believe from twenty four to seven
mentioned North Carolina's back in the mix. It's almost like,
depending what day and who you're asking, it's changing. But
I'd say just an overall, Kentucky's still right there.
Speaker 6 (25:59):
In the hunt.
Speaker 8 (26:00):
Whether you believe Alabama or North Carolina in the lead.
I think most believes still Alabama, but it's it's a
wild ride, and I think everyone's ready for him to
just make a decision.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Yeah, if you were on KSR chas board, I put
this earlier in the weekend, and there's been a lot
of updates on there if you want to join the community.
But this is I made a comment that I think
people didn't understand what I meant. Let me sort of
clarify it. I said that I said Kentucky was. I
thought it was down to Kentucky and Alabama, and I
(26:30):
liked where Kentucky was. That's still the case. I still
feel today better about where Kentucky is than any of
the other schools. I still you know, we're ten days away.
But if the decision was today, I feel like Kentucky
would be the decision. One of the things I said
was nil won't be what he picks, It'll be where
he wants to go. What I mean by that is,
(26:54):
I think the nil offers now, at least from Kentucky
and Alabama. North Carolina may have uh pulled to the
same but they're basically ryan the same at this point. Okay,
So then it will come down to where does he
want to go. I think there was a moment where
Alabama's was a lot higher than Kentucky's, and basically Kentucky
(27:16):
is now in the same place, and it'll just be
where he wants to go to school. Now, there's always
the opportunity or the option that, like all of a sudden,
Alabama or North Carolina goes even higher, at which point
maybe it changes. But I think if you were talking today,
I think at least with Kentucky and Alabama, he's looking
at the same thing, and it's just where do you
want to go to school?
Speaker 3 (27:36):
And you know, Nato, it's and Alabama they've been recruiting
him a lot longer, and they've had they've had more
time to develop that relationship. Mark Pope's been playing catchup
since he got there with Jasper Johnson, you know what
I mean. I think cal Perry Staff they were kind
of just passively recruiting him. Well, Pope's put the all court,
full court press on, but they got a lot of
ground to make up because Alabama had already been there
for years and years on Jasper and.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
He did grow up at Carolina FA.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
Let me just say this, when it comes to basketball recruitings,
especially online, I'm not saying that any of these people
that claim to know something do or don't because I
don't know any of them. There's like in the col Era,
there's like all these new names that pop up, and
I just don't know any of those people.
Speaker 6 (28:14):
So they may know they not.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
I'm not saying, but I do know that for me personally,
I'm looking to hear with the people on the show,
or Travis graft Or or Brandam trace It both, Travis right,
Brandham or Jack Pilgrim like what they say, because there's
a lot of stuff I see floating around that just
(28:36):
isn't true and then it becomes the narrative, and I
actually think that hurts us in some ways.
Speaker 6 (28:41):
The program.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
So just but I would say right now, the money
as of this moment will not be what makes Jasper
Johnson's decision. All right, what's your next fact?
Speaker 6 (28:52):
I'm up?
Speaker 8 (28:53):
Heah, We'll move on to cornerback. We'll start with the
starting cornerback. Everyone knows Maxwell Harriston had a big year.
He was ranked fifth nationally in interceptions last season and
led the SEC in interceptions, interception returns, interception return yards,
and touchdowns. He was the only Kentucky player in history
to have two interceptions returned for touchdown.
Speaker 7 (29:15):
In a single game. We all remember that, well I did.
Speaker 8 (29:17):
I already say his nickname is mad Max. And then
his fun fact that's a little off the football grid.
You know a lot of these people play multiple sports.
Some people run track, basketball. In high school, he was
a member of the choir.
Speaker 10 (29:31):
Nice.
Speaker 6 (29:33):
I like that, very versatile.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
I don't think people realize Ryan that we had the
nation's leader in interceptions last year and he's returning.
Speaker 6 (29:41):
Do you think people actually processed that and realize it.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
No.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
No, Like the same way that you don't know Ray
Davis broke the touchdown record left to those both kind
of slipped in on everybody, But it's a fact Mike
pel Harrison ended up leading the nation in interceptions last year.
A guy that well that for sure was even gonna
be the starter when the season started.
Speaker 6 (29:57):
Yeah, it is amazing interesting facts.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Yeah, football player on the choir. Absolutely, all right, there
you go.
Speaker 6 (30:04):
Drew's head got a perfect school does Yeah. Ryan's on
the roll. He's had two straight good ones. What's your
next fact.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
We're gonna go up to the receivers and we're gonna
start with the new one. Jamar Macklin j mack You know,
he takes the place of Tavan Robinson at the slot.
He's also gonna wear Tavian Robinson's number, and they're like
identical guys. They're like, you know, these speedy little scapback guys.
But uh, Jay mack I think the interesting fact about
him he's got fourteen brothers and sisters fourteen symbol.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Wow, big house, big house, fourteen brothers, fourteen.
Speaker 6 (30:39):
How many did Tubby have because that was a big
thing when he was here.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
It was double digits, You're right, it was maybe eleven
or twelve fteen.
Speaker 6 (30:46):
Have you ever hear how many of these terry miners have? Shannon,
He's got.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
Like a, Oh, he's got a big family. I'm not
sure that it's fourteen or anywhere close to that.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
It's like eight or nine.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
Yeah, yeah, maybe, yeah, I think so. But fourteen you.
Speaker 6 (30:59):
Have you ever known anybody with fourteen brothers and sisters?
Speaker 4 (31:02):
No?
Speaker 2 (31:03):
No, No, just that crazy TV show? What's there?
Speaker 3 (31:06):
They?
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Whatever the show was they had, like eighteen nineteen? What's
it called the Duggers.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
Show?
Speaker 7 (31:16):
Didn't they have a weird ending to their Yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:18):
They did.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
There's a lot of dugging going on.
Speaker 6 (31:20):
Yeah, it's a lot.
Speaker 8 (31:25):
Nineteen as the show he's starting about.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 6 (31:31):
Right there you go, Yeah, Terran's getting better.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
You should have start started with the line.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
He started with the best one. He was like, starting
with the best ones. Eli Cox is good. All right,
Well that's that's a good start, right, all right?
Speaker 6 (31:44):
What's that? What's yours?
Speaker 7 (31:44):
Drew moving to the other corner. You know, this could
be either Jansen Dunn.
Speaker 8 (31:49):
Or DJ Waller, who transferred from Michigan won a national championship,
but I'll focus on done. He seems to be slotted
there right now. He transferred in after playing two seasons
at Ohio State. He originally committed to Oklahoma briefly, but
he's from Bowling Green, went to South Warren. He was
the number two player in Kentucky. Jagger Burton was first,
then Jansen Dunn, then Gavin Wimsit, then to kel Crowdis.
(32:12):
Kentucky ended up with eight of ten in that recruiting class.
Speaker 6 (32:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (32:16):
He scored a touchdown for South Warren against couve Caath
in the state championship game in twenty eighteen. And my
interesting fact is he has a cousin on the team
named Dan Key.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
About that, all right, that's.
Speaker 6 (32:27):
It interesting that Janson Dunn his cousins with Dang Keith.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
Yeah, I'll say it's interesting.
Speaker 6 (32:35):
I thought that one was gonna be cool. So you
don't think Drew DJ Waller from Michigan's gonna start.
Speaker 8 (32:39):
Well, yeah, I just don't think they were giving it
to him right away, even missed a little, he missed
the first scrimmage. I think all those guys are gonna
get plenty of opportunities. The cream will rise there. They
finally have a lot of depth at that spot. But
I went with him for this exercise being a Kentucky guy,
and uh, you know one that they lost the first
time around. Then let him go be a Buckeye for
two years and then he came on home.
Speaker 6 (32:58):
All right, sounds good.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
Who's next, shame, Let's go to Mark Anthony.
Speaker 6 (33:01):
Mark Anthony, how are you?
Speaker 9 (33:03):
Matthew, Ryan, Drew Shannon A man. I must thank you
first of all for the show. It's really good. I'm
really interested in it's It's good to have the names
of the starters and a couple of little facts or opinions. Anyway, Uh,
Doomas Johnson.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (33:19):
I don't know when he broke his arm, but I
plan to remember seeing him play football on a random
Saturday afternoon against somebody I don't remember, but the bleep
playing color guy could not get his name out of
their mouths. He was in on every defensive stop. So
I was I'm excited when I heard he was coming.
I was excited about that. I'm keen to see what
(33:40):
he can get done now last the ball fellas. I'm
just glad Shannon don't judge me. Thank you. See.
Speaker 6 (33:46):
Yeah, Shannon's a harsh judge. There's no doubt about that.
Speaker 5 (33:49):
You you have to you have to bring it if
you want, if you want Shannon to do to do well.
My mom just told me Uh, Shennon and my grandfather
had eleven siblings.
Speaker 6 (33:59):
Oh really, I didn't realize that. I knew he had
a bunch, but I didn't know.
Speaker 5 (34:03):
That's not the Morgan Wallen side, that's the other side.
But uh, eleven siblings, that's a lot. Brian, tell me

KSR bet five get one hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 6 (35:14):
Getting ready for the NFL season.
Speaker 5 (35:16):
We got to pick a game today, not a lot
of choices, So Drew, I'm gonna go to the Little
League World Series?
Speaker 6 (35:22):
How about that.
Speaker 5 (35:26):
Lake Mary Florida against Bourne, Texas. Both teams are undefeated
in pool play. These some people think are the two
best teams. Do you like Lake Mary Florida or Bourne Texas.
Speaker 8 (35:38):
I'm going Lake Mary Florida, and I have no reasoning
behind that pick, but I'm feeling good about the fighting
Lake Mary Florida's.
Speaker 6 (35:46):
You know, Shannon, you can bet the Little League World
Series online. I feel like if you had information on
these teams, Shannon, you might be able to get some
get a bonus.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
I think I'm gonna do it anyway. I don't know
anything about them.
Speaker 6 (35:58):
I know that, you know.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
I feel like people in Tech are tougher than people
in Florida, So I think that the Texas kids are tough.
They're gonna win this game.
Speaker 6 (36:07):
Oh he is, then I did. I was gonna take
them anyway. Lake Mary, Florida.
Speaker 5 (36:11):
If you grow up in Lee Corso's backyard, Ryan, you
have to take them.
Speaker 6 (36:15):
I'm taking Florida.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
I'm gonna take Born, Texas. I feel like it sounds
like a town. There's nothing to do in that town
but play baseball. The Rangers have been really good lately.
The Houston Astroals have been really good lately. So the
state of Texas has become a baseball state.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
I'm going Born because it sounds like bored.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
Is that why you're picking it?
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Because it's I like that he's.
Speaker 5 (36:32):
Gonna do it because the Rangers have been good, which
might even be on the other side of the state.
Speaker 6 (36:36):
We're not sure, but that's all right. I like it.
Speaker 5 (36:39):
One serious thing that is happening right now, and I
don't I want to at least note it. In Elizabethtown
outside the courthouse this morning, there was a shooting.
Speaker 6 (36:50):
Uh. Three people shot.
Speaker 5 (36:52):
I haven't gotten the final word on their on their status,
but I think it's not great. And the shooter is
still at large. So for everyone in Elizabethtown. It was
outside the courthouse as people were waiting to go into
the courthouse. So prayers to everybody. That's that's an awful situation,
and prayers to everybody, the victims, but also the people
(37:15):
in the community. As apparently the shooter is still at
large in Hardin County.
Speaker 6 (37:19):
So sad. Yeah, that is said, No, really way to
transition that. So I'll just go to the next call.
Speaker 4 (37:25):
Who's up, All right, let's go to Stuart.
Speaker 6 (37:27):
Stuart, go ahead, Stuart.
Speaker 12 (37:30):
Good morning, Matthew.
Speaker 6 (37:31):
Couple of things.
Speaker 12 (37:33):
You and I both graduated from the same Institute of
Higher Learning there on Broadway in Lexington also known as TRANSYLVANIANSVANI,
and we shared a professor in common who just retired.
Now I broke him in among his first years there,
and you had him I think kind of the middle
(37:56):
or the end of his years. But doctor Doogie just
retired after thirty years.
Speaker 6 (38:01):
I did not know doctor Dougie retired. Wow, I I knew.
Speaker 5 (38:05):
I thought he would be there, like until they just
shut the place down.
Speaker 6 (38:10):
I mean he would.
Speaker 5 (38:11):
That was my That was my political science professor, probably
the professor one of two that I was the closest to.
Speaker 6 (38:19):
He was the guy who told me Drew before I
went to Duke.
Speaker 5 (38:23):
He said, if you sound like you do with your voice,
they're all gonna think you're an idiot. And I was like, well,
I can't really change it, and he goes, I said, well,
I can't really change my voice, and he goes, no,
don't change it. He was like, make them think you're
an idiot, and then you'll get them when you're actually smart. Andrew,
(38:44):
I actually always liked that advice.
Speaker 6 (38:45):
Honestly.
Speaker 7 (38:46):
I think i've heard you tell that story on these
airwaves before too.
Speaker 6 (38:49):
That's exactly right. That was Don Dougie that told me
that I.
Speaker 12 (38:52):
Had heard you mentioned him a number of times. And
I saw in the bulletin that Trancy sends out that
he had just retired and he influenced me.
Speaker 10 (39:01):
And I know I've.
Speaker 6 (39:02):
Heard you sink that he influenced you. He was great. Yeah,
now I'm glad you. Thanks for sharing that with me.
I appreciate the call.
Speaker 5 (39:07):
He probably was one of the most, if not the
most influential professors I had. He really encouraged me to
apply to the best law schools I could, and he
really got me to think about things in a different way.
And so yeah, he's definitely worth a salute. I haven't
seen him in a long time. I used to see
(39:27):
him shatting at off track, betting at before you could
do that on your phone.
Speaker 6 (39:32):
But a big shout out to Don Dougie. Who's next, Matt, Matt?
Speaker 13 (39:36):
Go ahead, Matt, Hey, Matt, first time, long time?
Speaker 6 (39:40):
Who are hey?
Speaker 13 (39:42):
I'm at Texas attorney, Kentucky alum and most importantly a
Cats fan. I got a question for you. So you
y'all been talking about how we can't be good. You
don't think under the house settlement of both football and basketball.
But I mean, you look at Auburn, you look at Bamma,
you look at Tennessee. They austenably become two sports schools too,
(40:02):
So how do we continue competing?
Speaker 6 (40:06):
We are a two sports school?
Speaker 5 (40:08):
Okay, I mean what yeah, we are what I mean
going forward under house, yes, but but the House will
make Okay, so that's a fair question. Under the new
settlement with the money that is distributed, the issue for
Kentucky is going to be the same issue, and that
is that we don't have enough donors. If we had
(40:31):
donors that could give twenty million in NIL, then actually,
I think.
Speaker 6 (40:34):
You could be great at both.
Speaker 5 (40:36):
But all House settlement's going to do is sort of
raise the minimum wage. But what it does allow is
a school could make a decision of, Okay, we can't
raise all this money from donors, but we can make
up with these other schools raised from donors by using
this pot of money we're given away.
Speaker 6 (40:54):
Does that make sense?
Speaker 5 (40:55):
So if you have a zillion, if you have a
zillion donors, and then you can be good at everything.
But if you don't, a school could say, Okay, I
don't have the donors to be good at both, but
this pot of money from House, I'll all put it
to one sport and we can be good at that
and then the other one just suffers.
Speaker 6 (41:12):
Does that make sense? Yeah?
Speaker 10 (41:15):
Does?
Speaker 13 (41:15):
That's the part that it's been hard for me, and
I'm guessing some other listeners too, is thinking about kind
of the interplay between House and NIL, because NIL will
still be there.
Speaker 5 (41:27):
And I will still be there. Yeah, and I will
still be there. But I'm gonna make your prediction. I
don't think the numbers will be as high because when
the House Settlement becomes law, what's gonna end up happening
is I think Congress will put a cap on the
inile money, and I think the courts will allow it
because of the House Settlement. That's very complicated, the legal reasons.
Speaker 6 (41:47):
Why you're a lawyer, you understand.
Speaker 5 (41:49):
I'm not going to go into it on here, but
I think it is more likely eventually you'll see an
nil cap because of.
Speaker 6 (41:56):
The House Settlement. Appreciate it, Matt, Thank you very much.
Court physical Therapy. If you end up and you are hurt,
if you have some sort of physical injury, go to
Court Physical Therapy. They'll make you feel better. They will
make it to where you do not are sore. You
can get up, you can get around, and they take
insurance and you don't need a doctor referral.
Speaker 5 (42:16):
It's ko rt dot com, that's court dot com. Go
get made to feel better at Court Physical Therapy.
Speaker 6 (42:23):
Shannon, I'm looking outside my window and there are probably
five hundred cops right outside my window and a ton
of what looked like cars. I wonder, I mean that,
I think that's Trump's tower. I wonder if he's in there.
It's gotta be what it is.
Speaker 4 (42:38):
I would so yeah, people out there, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (42:40):
Yeah, I can't think of what else would be pretty
amazing sight. Actually, thank you folks very much. We'll finish
the players tomorrow on the show. See you later. Go
get that Kentucky and Ilber at the bar. This is

Speaker 5 (01:05):
Welcome back Tucky Sports Radio Hour number two eight. I'm
nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. Phone's a
little slow today, Shanny. You think it's just like the
Monday Kentucky blue light hangover effect.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Yeah, Mondays are always slow, you know, coming off the
weekend you get again.
Speaker 6 (01:21):
I mean, there's nothing to be fair.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
Not a lot happened this week in terms of the
world of sports, but we'll still like to hear from you.
It's a good chance to get in if you've never
been in before. Eight five ' nine two eight oh
twenty two eighty seven. One person writes, Matt, I think
you're hard on Ryan's facts. I'm actually writing them down
as we go so that I can use them with friends.
They're gonna be very surprised to find out. Brock vandergriff
(01:44):
is a leader. That's what you should do.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
With these That's okay.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
You remember that when he's leading the team out there
and has commanded the huddle, and you're gonna like that.
Everybody's gonna like that. Maybe you heard it first here
on KSR.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
I am gonna like it, one person writes, Matt, Will
Ryan and and Shannon watch any of the Democratic convention
this week.
Speaker 6 (02:04):
It's a good question. Will you all watch any of it?
Speaker 7 (02:07):
You know it was this week?
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Yeah, I'm Withdrew. I didn't even know what was going on.
Where do I find this? Like on like CNN or
like every channel, every channel, even on the ESPN uh SPN.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
But I think they show the conventions on all the
news channels and then they usually show like an hour
on the network.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Yeah, I mean I may catch the highlights. I don't
think I'm gonna set.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
There highlights to look at the way Joe Biden broke
down this speech.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
No, I don't know that they'll they'll do that. So
you're I'm going to chalk you up as a no.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yeah, that's all right.
Speaker 7 (02:40):
What about you, Drew, Uh, that's gonna be a no.
Speaker 8 (02:44):
If we set in my toe, if we set my
total at one minute watched, I would take the under there.
Speaker 7 (02:49):
I don't have any intentions.
Speaker 6 (02:51):
What about you, Ryan?
Speaker 7 (02:52):
You have fun?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
I think the the only Democratic convention I've ever watched
is the one I attended live in person.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
And after there in person, Matt, you know, it really
kind of diminishes.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Once you get that atmosphere. You see boys to men
warm up it's really hard.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Yeah, you see Michelle Obama's booty. I mean, you're no
more you want.
Speaker 7 (03:09):
To do goodness.
Speaker 6 (03:14):
Is what is wrong with him.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
But the problem is I'm not there, because if I
was there, I would give him a stayer right now
and he would know that that was a mistake.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Like they like not there, like the Tubby stare that
Tubby used to give his players on him.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Give it to me.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
Yeah, yes, all right.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
One person writes, Matt, I have a question for you,
and by the way, this is the question I get
a lot, uh, Drew, So I think it's worth answering.
Would you like to hear how is it that Kamala
Harris will be the nominee if she never won any
of the primes.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
I think that's a good question, don't you, Shannon, Like
I feel like that's a good question.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Yeah, I don't have the answer.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
Let me ask, well, actually, let me get a Ryan guess.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Ryan, how do you think they pick the nominees to
run for president? The Republican and Democratic nominees. Do you
know the answer to this? Most people don't, By the way,
I would bet ninety percent of the people listening to
this don't actually know how someone becomes president becomes the
candidate for their party.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
Do you know right?
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Each each state has their delegates and they each state, Uh,
basically comes together for one candidate and then they how.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
Do they decide who the delegates are? That I don't know, okay, Drew.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Do you know how they decide who the delegates are
for the conventions?
Speaker 7 (04:38):
Uh? Blind draw. I just know that we bounce around
and stand.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
They draw people.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
They draw people out of a hat and say you're
going to be a delegate this year.
Speaker 8 (04:47):
I just know that anyone can be a delegate, as
we proved, h we didn't get We stood with them at.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Every year with New Hampshire.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
Shannon, do you know how you get to be a delegate?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
No? I don't have a clue.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
I don't even Okay, So this.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
Is for both parties. Here's how they do it, okay.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Used to be that the party, the leaders of the
party would pick the delegates and then they would go
to the convention and they would pick the candidates. And
it used to be until like the fifties and sixties, Ryan,
I bet you didn't know there were no primaries at all.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
Did you know that there were no conies, No the.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
Delegates would go to a convention and then they would
pick and often they would fight with each other, and
sometimes local counties would have elections to pick the delegates.
So you'd have Shannon like an election to pick between
Ryan and Drew to decide who's going to go pick
the president.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
You couldn't no, no idea.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
But then they decided like in the fifties, some states
in the fifties, some states in the sixties, some of
the seventies.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
You know, that doesn't seem very fair, that's not very democratic.
So then they start having primary races.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
But what people don't know is when you go to
vote in the primary for like Donald Trump or Joe
Biden or whatever, you're actually Ryan, I don't I bet
you don't know this. You're really not votevoting for them.
You're voting for them to get to pick who the
delegates are. Does that make sense, Yeah, So you're.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
Actually not voting for Donald Trump to be the nominee.
You're voting for Donald Trump's campaign to get to pick
the delegates. So we had fifty primary campaigns. Biden I
think won all of them.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
So Biden got to pick all the delegates. But when
he drops out whoever he picked Ryan. They now are
free in theory.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
To go pick whoever they want, and they basically the majority.
I don't know how many have all decided to pick Harris,
but they didn't have to. As a matter of fact,
I suspect there will be people in that building who
will pick someone else. They are free to do it.
But she will have the most and she will win.
But that's how she was picked. So when people say, well,
she didn't want a primary, that's true, but that's not
(06:56):
how we do it.
Speaker 6 (06:57):
We picked the person Ryan, who picks the delicate. But
you didn't know that, did you.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
No, So I guess so like they would say the
Grace Day of Kentucky has one delegate for Matt Jones
and thirteen for Kamala Harrick.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
Well you may remember we did that, like when we
went to the Trump convict convention, Like there were a
lot of delegates there who were pledged to like Ted
Cruz or or somebody like that, Bernie. But when we
went to the Democrat yes, Bernie, remember that woman screaming
that day at the convention. They were committed to Bernie
(07:30):
because he had won enough of the state.
Speaker 6 (07:31):
That he got to pick him.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
So this time Biden I think, got to pick them
all because nobody ran against him. But when they get there, Ryan,
in theory they could pick whoever they wanted.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Well, when you explain like that, it doesn't seem very
democratic at all.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
We don't.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Really the public's really not picking it who they.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
Went on for.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
That's why when people get on when people go crazy
about the primary, and they go, it's not this is
an unprecedented whatever democracy.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
No, it's not. That process hasn't really never been democratic.
I think it's the opid process. By the way, why
do we go way, Shana, Why do we pick people
to go pick for us?
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Why don't we just pick ourselves? It would make more sense,
But that's not what we do when they go to
the Yes, that was the woman who yelled when we went.
Speaker 6 (08:16):
To the Democratic convention. Yes.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
But but the answer probably is, like Shannon, a situation
like this, what if everybody picked somebody and then they
drop out or something happens to him.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
Then who's the candidate? Right? Yeah, So they create like
this so that other people can pick them.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
So there's your little civics lesson for the day. All right,
give us our next interesting fact right.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
All right, Well, we're going right tackle, and this is
another position where most people probably had no idea who
the starter was. Right guard and right tackle a complete
mystery going into fall camp. But we're gonna give it
to Gerald Minci, the transfer from Tennessee. He's also the
largest of all the starting offensive lineman at three hundred
and thirty five pounds.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
He's a big dude. But even though he's big, he
likes to write poetry.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
And he says three hundred and thirty five pounds, he's
the biggest offensive lineman. Comes from the University of Tennessee
and likes to write poetry.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yes, Gerald Mincy, all.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
Right, Shannon, interesting fact.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Ryan, congratulations, you finally got right.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
He writes poetry. I love it.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
It took his sixth one, but I think he's starting
to understand the aside.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
That's right, he's getting it.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
Yeah, comes from Tennessee. I believe Drew.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Wasn't this guy like a crazy high recruit coming out
of high school?
Speaker 6 (09:36):
Or is that somebody else?
Speaker 8 (09:37):
I mean, I don't know about crazy hobby that has
a big recruit. He also played a year at Florida.
He started at Florida, then two years at Tennessee.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Alright, so he went through the SEC. Yeah, yeah, all
the schools before he goes That's fine with me. All right, Drew,
what's your fact?
Speaker 8 (09:52):
I'm going to stay in the uh middle linebacker with
Derek Jackson would call him d jack. He's gone through
a lot of invert He tore his achilles in April
twenty twenty one. They said he'd missed the whole season.
He was back practicing by October. It's a little superhuman there.
And then he was the lowest rank recruit in Kentucky's
twenty twenty class. I believe an interesting fact about that
(10:14):
he came to a camp to earn his scholarship. He
and his dad slept in the car during their visit
and lexingtondn't end up working out for him. Now, he's
some teams have him or some of the publications hav
ingim this preseason all SEC this year. He's been amazing
for UK and this season he's dedicating to his grandmother,
who passed away last spring shortly after he had a
career day against Louisville and the Governor's Cup.
Speaker 7 (10:35):
So all the.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
Sorry, what a great story. So I'm gonna go back
to that he came to a camp and I guess
because he wasn't on an official visit, they couldn't put
him up and he and his dad slept in their
car to be able to come to the camp.
Speaker 8 (10:51):
According to a story on on three Sports, which I trust, yes,
he was just not that highly ready to recruit, like
I said, the lowest in the class. And then of
course he's twenty something games for UK, has been a
real star and on the NFL's radar.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Well, Ryan, that's gotta make like, how can that not
be your favorite player? Like a guy who goes through
that Derek Jackson. Ryan, that's gonna I'm I knew him
as a player, but I didn't know that part of
his story.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
Ryan, that's gonna be my favorite player of the year.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
And he's you know, he's a He's a hitter too, man.
I think people love him because he goes out there
and he just he'll he'll knock your jock off if
he hit him a chance.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
He's a big time hitter.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
That big player though big player.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
You know, Shannon, I don't know what to do about it.
He's the oldest, right, so it's not gonna you know.
The thing is, it's not gonna get any better thing
with him, Like, it's not gonna like all of a sudden,
He's gonna be more like normal.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
More mature, older, you get the lesson care.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
You know. That's unfortunately.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
That was interesting.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Good job, that's the best one so far.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
Yes, all right, Ryan, what's your next offensive.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
We're going to stand on the line. We're going tight end.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Josh Katis came in as the same year with Dane,
so I've got to know him really well. He's been
at my house a couple of times, and I told
this story when all the players were there at the
house and they were eating and talking, My son was
sitting just Josiah was sitting over by himself on the couch,
and Joshkatis was the only one that walked over there
and sat beside me and carried on a legit conversation
with Josie.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
And I said all that to me, that showed a
lot of what kind of person he is.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
He's a great guy, always somebody that goes to the
children's hospital for visits and stuff. But on the football field,
he's a badass. I mean, he's caught a couple of
touchdown passes. We've seen him make these just mammoth blocks
on the football field. His dad was a tight end
at Michigan. His dad played for the Cincinnati Bengals. But
the one interesting fact that Matt will probably scratch it all.
He loves to play pickleball. He's a big.
Speaker 6 (12:45):
Well there's my least favorite player of the year. So
all right.
Speaker 7 (12:49):
Brothers also on the team, just to add that, right.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
All right, So Shannon, he likes pickleball and talked to
Joe side interesting pat fact.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
When he visits kids hospital. I feel I gotta give
him a yeah, you.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
Don't fall for the sympathy. Well that you are getting
soft in your old age.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
All right? Drew one last one before the break? What
is it?
Speaker 8 (13:14):
Another guy we all love to root for. JJ Weaver.
We know so much about him. I'm not gonna take
the easy way out and say he has six fingers.
Speaker 7 (13:22):
That's a common fact.
Speaker 9 (13:23):
He was our.
Speaker 8 (13:23):
Governor's Cup MVP last year having a big game, and
he recently won the Kentucky Pro Football Hall of Fame's
Ron Butler Character and Adversity Award. A lot of people
know what he's been through. He lost his father, lost
his high school coach had a season ending injury and
going through all that. Last year a media days he
opened up about his struggles and then he started a
(13:44):
campus support group called the Perfect Fit Support Group for
people just need some help over at UK, and this
year it will be available to all students.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
I love this kid for no other reason than just
that one. I mean, this is a guy who is
create helped create an organization the UK that will long
outlive him JJ Weaver. I mean he's made it to
where basically any athlete at UK, on any sport who's
dealing with any mental like chat like, you know, mental
health issue can get the treatment that they need from
(14:17):
the university.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
That wasn't odd always the case.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
JJ helped set that up and Ryan, if there was
nothing else, that dude is gonna leave a long legacy
at UK. I watched a whole presentation about it that
the health people did for other people in mental health,
you know, working in it. What an awesome story and
I hope that kid has a massive year.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
I think people love him not just a football player,
but the type of person he is and he's proven
it now for six years. He will go down like
some of these great players we've had over the years.
Maybe not had great success on the field, but just
the type of person here and the and legacy they leave.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
That's what he's gonna be all about.
Speaker 8 (14:56):
We could do a whole show on what he does
off the field. Has a icicle drive, always doing stuff
in the community.
Speaker 7 (15:03):
He's a deserves it.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
You want your kid to have a perspective on the
world like JJ Weaver does, so big salute to him.
Red State Barbecue has been serving quality smoke meets to
central Kentucky for nearly fourteen years, seven days a week.
You can go to Red State get brisket, uh you know,
fall off the bone, ribs, pork wings, they got all
of it. And they have specialties a smoked half chicken,
(15:25):
a smoke strip loin on Saturdays and Sundays. It's great stuff.
Don't forget the mac and cheese. It's so good, probably
the best in the city. It's Red State Barbecue forty
twenty Georgetown Road in Lexington, forty twenty Georgetown Road. Red
State Barbecue will take a break, very back, take your
calls A five nine, two eight oh, twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
It's KSR, welcome back.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
Take you Sports Radio A five, nine, two, eight oh,
twenty two eighty seven. A couple of things real quick
before we go to the phones. Uh, the KSR preseason
high school football rakings came out the real game start
this week. Boyle County number one in the state. Nine
of ten votes for first place went to Boyle County.
Trinity was second and had one vote, and Frederick Douglas
was third.
Speaker 6 (16:05):
Riding you like those rankings.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yeah, Boyle County's really good.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
They've got the Quisenberry kid, who maybe the best player
in the state right now. So and Douglas has to
play down at Boyle County this year, and they played
Trinity at home.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
They got both those teams.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
So they played the number one, so their number three
they play one and two, right, Yeah, yeah, so you
get a chance to decide. Uh see what see if
you guys are any good, one person writes Matt. Let's
say Trump were to drop out tomorrow. What would happen then, Shannon,
do you know what would happen?
Speaker 4 (16:33):
Then jd Vance would be.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
The Well maybe, but what they would do is until September.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Eighth, the candidates are not set set. So if he
dropped out, they would have Channon like a virtual convention.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
They literally have a.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
Conference call and all the delegates that Trump picked in
each state, they would decide who their candidate is. You
see what I'm saying. So they would like literally get
on a conference call and they'd be like, I vote
for and then they would just and whoever got the
most Shannon would be the candidate.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Okay, So well, I mean I think.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
That would be yeah, that would be that. That would
be quite a zoom call that I'd like to listen to.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
Who's up first, Well, let's go to Pops.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Pops, how are you doing good?
Speaker 10 (17:26):
Thank you Ryan, So glad that you got on the board.
We was getting worried about you.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Yeah, me too.
Speaker 10 (17:33):
And uh I think UK ready for this football and
the basketball to get started. Ye, I'm very anxious for it.
And I want to get a shout out to the
twelve U Camelsville, gall Rick and Lea. They won the
US Championship and they got beat by instead of the world,
(17:56):
they got beat in the world in the championship game
War Games, they got by the Demicant Republic Dominican.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
So Campbellsville, a group of kids from Campbellsville played against
the Dominican Republic kids.
Speaker 10 (18:12):
It was for the World Series and the cal Rickons.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
That is very cool. Well I didn't know that. When
did this happen, sir?
Speaker 10 (18:20):
Over the weekend?
Speaker 9 (18:22):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (18:23):
Well, congrats to the kids in Campbellsville and Taylor County.
So well, yeah, congrats, that is awesome. A big shout out.
Tell those uh, tell the kids. Ks R said, congrats.
Speaker 10 (18:35):
Oh they're gonna have a big prey for him this week.
But everybody's proud of them.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
I am, they should be. They should be. Thank you
appreciate the call. How about that, Ryan?
Speaker 10 (18:43):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (18:44):
You know some people think, right, cal Ripkins even better
than Little League, isn't it?
Speaker 6 (18:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:49):
I think it was ten U and they played Southeastern
of Lexington in the National Championship. Two Kentucky teams were
in the United States Championship. Campbellsville won to go to
the World Series. They got beat. So I just kind
of tell you how good youth baseball is in this state.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
No kidding, that's awesome. Well, good for them, Good for
both those schools. I didn't know about either one of those.
And you know Taylor County and the Dominican public. I'd
like to have heard the pregame handshakes for that one, Drew,
wouldn't you?
Speaker 8 (19:21):
Oh yeah, Now, I think we got to get Ryan
too the cal Ripken Stadium and check that off his
bucket list too.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Let's do it.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
I'm on the World the League World Series going on now.
Speaker 5 (19:29):
We are still Remember we have a three year band,
so Ryan stay home during the entire thing.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
What's next, Trevor, Trevor, go ahead, Trevor.
Speaker 11 (19:38):
How you guys doing today?
Speaker 6 (19:40):
Good?
Speaker 11 (19:42):
I got an interesting fact. It's not about the University
of Kentucky football, but it's about the University of Alabama
and me being a football fan in general. Me being
a football fan in general, I found this ad like fascinating. Okay,
one of their players can run twenty miles an hour
(20:05):
better than really twenty, But I.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
Don't know what that means, Like when you say run
twenty miles an hour, Like, how many Kentucky guys can
run twenty miles an hour?
Speaker 6 (20:13):
Like, I don't have any mess to comparison.
Speaker 11 (20:15):
That's well, that's the thing you can look up. I
haven't done this yet, but you can look up the
stats because they have these things that clip onto the
shoulder pads of all these college players that will monitor
their speed, their heart rate, and their recovery throughout practice.
And I haven't looked up Kentucky's yet, but I'd say
(20:36):
it's pretty good because we got some click Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
See, I just don't know, Like like like Drew, I
don't know what that means. I appreciate the call like
it's twenty I mean twenty miles an hour sounds fast
to me, but like do a ton of athletes do that? Like,
I don't know what I don't really know what that means.
Speaker 8 (20:52):
I can put a little perspective on it for what
it means. Alabama, they almost doubled the amount from last
year under Saban. I think they had twenty three players
that could do it last year. Oh, they have forty one.
So it's showing how Alabama's changing. He prioritized no, bigger, stronger,
and Kaylen de bor is looking to play with quicker, faster.
So it's more about Alabama doubling the amount of people
and kind of changing how they'll play moving forward.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
That's interesting. Like Shannon, what would be the top speed
of US? Oh? Seven?
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Maybe eight?
Speaker 6 (21:23):
More than seven. I bet we could get to.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Okay, get on a treadmill, set it at eight and
see if you can do it.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
Yeah, but that's eight at a consistent pace. I'm saying,
you just run as hard as you can. What do
you think our top speed would be at our.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Mech like what you can peek at?
Speaker 6 (21:40):
Yeah? What we know?
Speaker 5 (21:41):
I mean I couldn't run. I couldn't run three consistently.
The question is could you run like we just spread
and we hit our top speed?
Speaker 6 (21:49):
What are we hitting?
Speaker 4 (21:51):
I don't think we're going over ten.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
I think ambient Matt could probably hit ten. I think
he thought he could that day.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
I could beat it. Sorry, what's your next fact? Shannon
or not shaded? Sorry?
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Ryan, Okay, I'm gonna go to a running back.
Speaker 10 (22:07):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Even though Demi Sumo Kongbay may be the starter of
the first two games and I got I do have
a good story about him.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
Hold on, First of all, say the name again.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Demi Sumo Kongbay.
Speaker 6 (22:15):
He did it.
Speaker 7 (22:16):
Yeah, it too parties, but he got it.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
He's been at our house last two years. Uh.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
You know you have Dante girls, burgers and hot dogs.
He's got all kinds of food and the cold makes
all this food. Demmy always has a massive plate of food,
finishes it and then doubles that and triples that to
take home like he makes. He takes a take home
box of food that's bigger than any of the offensive
lineman when he's that.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
That's what I'm gonna talk about.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
I'm gonna talk about because he's the starter and you're
supposed to do it on the starters. Well, I was
going to be interesting fact about dem A is that
he eats a lot of food.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Interesting fact sh leftover left.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Yeah. Now you're a poor college kid and somebody's giving
me food.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
You load up all right, quickly? What's your brother one?
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Okay? Chip Training is going to be the mains guy.
You know he's he's hurt. He's gonna miss a couple
of games.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
His real first name is Diamante. By the way, we
called him Chip train him. And here's his interesting fact.
He started at Arizona, transferred to Ohio State, actually played
linebacker at Ohio State before moving back over to running back.
He's played and he played running back and linebacker at
Ohio State.
Speaker 6 (23:27):
Shannon Verdict. I'll give it a correct. Yeah, he gets one.
We'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
TJ Smith, personal injury attorney, called TJ.
Speaker 7 (23:36):
He'll make them pay now.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
More of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's
Matt Jones.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
Welcome back Tucky Sports Radio. I want to make one,
uh one quick little what do.
Speaker 6 (23:48):
You call it?
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Correction to one of the things I said earlier in
Kentucky drew with the with the primaries. We actually do
it slightly different than I said, which is each in
Kentucky picks their own delegates and then the parties have
agreed that whoever wins the primary, that's who those people.
Speaker 6 (24:08):
Will vote for.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
Does that make sense, which means actually, in the primary,
you're not picking anybody, You're just picking like something. I
just I think what people don't realize is it hasn't
happened in a long time. But Ryan, when you were
a kid, those conventions could have a lot of controversy
because you didn't even know who the nominee would be.
Speaker 6 (24:27):
Yet.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
I would prefer to go back to those days, to
be honest, like this, just in the formality of rubber
stamping who is that we all know the candidate's gonna
be go.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
That's kind of what I hope the Democrats would do.
By the way, when Biden dropped out, I hope they
would just let it be an open convention, because Shannon,
you would watch if like you didn't know who it
was gonna be, and everybody was arguing.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
Yeah, and if we could find out, like well they
show they're on live TV.
Speaker 6 (24:51):
Who, it would be like a reality show.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
Remember when we did the thing where like we stood
in the groups and they would go the great state
of I know, oh, home of Potatoes, and then they
say the things right. That would be like they would
be announcing for the first time the votes, and it
would be like Survivor. Wouldn't it be kind of exciting?
Speaker 4 (25:12):
I think people would actually tune in to watch that.
Speaker 6 (25:14):
Of course they would.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
I don't think there's any doubt that people would quickly
Basketball recruiting Drew update people. You know Friday, I said,
I thought it was Kentucky Obama with Jasper Johnson. I've
kind of been tuned out of it this weekend, so
I don't know the latest. It feels like it ebbed
and flowed. Where is it right now? From what you're hearing,
it is a roller coaster, is what it is.
Speaker 8 (25:36):
I can't remember a recruitment with this much drama winding down.
He's still aiming for the end of this month, thinking
about eight nine days away. But you know, we hear
a lot that it was narrowed down to UK and Alabama.
Then Travis Brandam, I believe from twenty four to seven
mentioned North Carolina's back in the mix. It's almost like,
depending what day and who you're asking, it's changing. But
I'd say just an overall, Kentucky's still right there.
Speaker 6 (25:59):
In the hunt.
Speaker 8 (26:00):
Whether you believe Alabama or North Carolina in the lead.
I think most believes still Alabama, but it's it's a
wild ride, and I think everyone's ready for him to
just make a decision.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Yeah, if you were on KSR chas board, I put
this earlier in the weekend, and there's been a lot
of updates on there if you want to join the community.
But this is I made a comment that I think
people didn't understand what I meant. Let me sort of
clarify it. I said that I said Kentucky was. I
thought it was down to Kentucky and Alabama, and I
(26:30):
liked where Kentucky was. That's still the case. I still
feel today better about where Kentucky is than any of
the other schools. I still you know, we're ten days away.
But if the decision was today, I feel like Kentucky
would be the decision. One of the things I said
was nil won't be what he picks, It'll be where
he wants to go. What I mean by that is,
(26:54):
I think the nil offers now, at least from Kentucky
and Alabama. North Carolina may have uh pulled to the
same but they're basically ryan the same at this point. Okay,
So then it will come down to where does he
want to go. I think there was a moment where
Alabama's was a lot higher than Kentucky's, and basically Kentucky
(27:16):
is now in the same place, and it'll just be
where he wants to go to school. Now, there's always
the opportunity or the option that, like all of a sudden,
Alabama or North Carolina goes even higher, at which point
maybe it changes. But I think if you were talking today,
I think at least with Kentucky and Alabama, he's looking
at the same thing, and it's just where do you
want to go to school?
Speaker 3 (27:36):
And you know, Nato, it's and Alabama they've been recruiting
him a lot longer, and they've had they've had more
time to develop that relationship. Mark Pope's been playing catchup
since he got there with Jasper Johnson, you know what
I mean. I think cal Perry Staff they were kind
of just passively recruiting him. Well, Pope's put the all court,
full court press on, but they got a lot of
ground to make up because Alabama had already been there
for years and years on Jasper and.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
He did grow up at Carolina FA.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
Let me just say this, when it comes to basketball recruitings,
especially online, I'm not saying that any of these people
that claim to know something do or don't because I
don't know any of them. There's like in the col Era,
there's like all these new names that pop up, and
I just don't know any of those people.
Speaker 6 (28:14):
So they may know they not.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
I'm not saying, but I do know that for me personally,
I'm looking to hear with the people on the show,
or Travis graft Or or Brandam trace It both, Travis right,
Brandham or Jack Pilgrim like what they say, because there's
a lot of stuff I see floating around that just
(28:36):
isn't true and then it becomes the narrative, and I
actually think that hurts us in some ways.
Speaker 6 (28:41):
The program.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
So just but I would say right now, the money
as of this moment will not be what makes Jasper
Johnson's decision. All right, what's your next fact?
Speaker 6 (28:52):
I'm up?
Speaker 8 (28:53):
Heah, We'll move on to cornerback. We'll start with the
starting cornerback. Everyone knows Maxwell Harriston had a big year.
He was ranked fifth nationally in interceptions last season and
led the SEC in interceptions, interception returns, interception return yards,
and touchdowns. He was the only Kentucky player in history
to have two interceptions returned for touchdown.
Speaker 7 (29:15):
In a single game. We all remember that, well I did.
Speaker 8 (29:17):
I already say his nickname is mad Max. And then
his fun fact that's a little off the football grid.
You know a lot of these people play multiple sports.
Some people run track, basketball. In high school, he was
a member of the choir.
Speaker 10 (29:31):
Nice.
Speaker 6 (29:33):
I like that, very versatile.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
I don't think people realize Ryan that we had the
nation's leader in interceptions last year and he's returning.
Speaker 6 (29:41):
Do you think people actually processed that and realize it.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
No.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
No, Like the same way that you don't know Ray
Davis broke the touchdown record left to those both kind
of slipped in on everybody, But it's a fact Mike
pel Harrison ended up leading the nation in interceptions last year.
A guy that well that for sure was even gonna
be the starter when the season started.
Speaker 6 (29:57):
Yeah, it is amazing interesting facts.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Yeah, football player on the choir. Absolutely, all right, there
you go.
Speaker 6 (30:04):
Drew's head got a perfect school does Yeah. Ryan's on
the roll. He's had two straight good ones. What's your
next fact.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
We're gonna go up to the receivers and we're gonna
start with the new one. Jamar Macklin j mack You know,
he takes the place of Tavan Robinson at the slot.
He's also gonna wear Tavian Robinson's number, and they're like
identical guys. They're like, you know, these speedy little scapback guys.
But uh, Jay mack I think the interesting fact about
him he's got fourteen brothers and sisters fourteen symbol.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Wow, big house, big house, fourteen brothers, fourteen.
Speaker 6 (30:39):
How many did Tubby have because that was a big
thing when he was here.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
It was double digits, You're right, it was maybe eleven
or twelve fteen.
Speaker 6 (30:46):
Have you ever hear how many of these terry miners have? Shannon,
He's got.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
Like a, Oh, he's got a big family. I'm not
sure that it's fourteen or anywhere close to that.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
It's like eight or nine.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
Yeah, yeah, maybe, yeah, I think so. But fourteen you.
Speaker 6 (30:59):
Have you ever known anybody with fourteen brothers and sisters?
Speaker 4 (31:02):
No?
Speaker 2 (31:03):
No, No, just that crazy TV show? What's there?
Speaker 3 (31:06):
They?
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Whatever the show was they had, like eighteen nineteen? What's
it called the Duggers.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
Show?
Speaker 7 (31:16):
Didn't they have a weird ending to their Yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:18):
They did.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
There's a lot of dugging going on.
Speaker 6 (31:20):
Yeah, it's a lot.
Speaker 8 (31:25):
Nineteen as the show he's starting about.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 6 (31:31):
Right there you go, Yeah, Terran's getting better.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
You should have start started with the line.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
He started with the best one. He was like, starting
with the best ones. Eli Cox is good. All right,
Well that's that's a good start, right, all right?
Speaker 6 (31:44):
What's that? What's yours?
Speaker 7 (31:44):
Drew moving to the other corner. You know, this could
be either Jansen Dunn.
Speaker 8 (31:49):
Or DJ Waller, who transferred from Michigan won a national championship,
but I'll focus on done. He seems to be slotted
there right now. He transferred in after playing two seasons
at Ohio State. He originally committed to Oklahoma briefly, but
he's from Bowling Green, went to South Warren. He was
the number two player in Kentucky. Jagger Burton was first,
then Jansen Dunn, then Gavin Wimsit, then to kel Crowdis.
(32:12):
Kentucky ended up with eight of ten in that recruiting class.
Speaker 6 (32:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (32:16):
He scored a touchdown for South Warren against couve Caath
in the state championship game in twenty eighteen. And my
interesting fact is he has a cousin on the team
named Dan Key.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
About that, all right, that's.
Speaker 6 (32:27):
It interesting that Janson Dunn his cousins with Dang Keith.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
Yeah, I'll say it's interesting.
Speaker 6 (32:35):
I thought that one was gonna be cool. So you
don't think Drew DJ Waller from Michigan's gonna start.
Speaker 8 (32:39):
Well, yeah, I just don't think they were giving it
to him right away, even missed a little, he missed
the first scrimmage. I think all those guys are gonna
get plenty of opportunities. The cream will rise there. They
finally have a lot of depth at that spot. But
I went with him for this exercise being a Kentucky guy,
and uh, you know one that they lost the first
time around. Then let him go be a Buckeye for
two years and then he came on home.
Speaker 6 (32:58):
All right, sounds good.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
Who's next, shame, Let's go to Mark Anthony.
Speaker 6 (33:01):
Mark Anthony, how are you?
Speaker 9 (33:03):
Matthew, Ryan, Drew Shannon A man. I must thank you
first of all for the show. It's really good. I'm
really interested in it's It's good to have the names
of the starters and a couple of little facts or opinions. Anyway, Uh,
Doomas Johnson.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (33:19):
I don't know when he broke his arm, but I
plan to remember seeing him play football on a random
Saturday afternoon against somebody I don't remember, but the bleep
playing color guy could not get his name out of
their mouths. He was in on every defensive stop. So
I was I'm excited when I heard he was coming.
I was excited about that. I'm keen to see what
(33:40):
he can get done now last the ball fellas. I'm
just glad Shannon don't judge me. Thank you. See.
Speaker 6 (33:46):
Yeah, Shannon's a harsh judge. There's no doubt about that.
Speaker 5 (33:49):
You you have to you have to bring it if
you want, if you want Shannon to do to do well.
My mom just told me Uh, Shennon and my grandfather
had eleven siblings.
Speaker 6 (33:59):
Oh really, I didn't realize that. I knew he had
a bunch, but I didn't know.
Speaker 5 (34:03):
That's not the Morgan Wallen side, that's the other side.
But uh, eleven siblings, that's a lot. Brian, tell me

Speaker 6 (35:14):
Getting ready for the NFL season.
Speaker 5 (35:16):
We got to pick a game today, not a lot
of choices, So Drew, I'm gonna go to the Little
League World Series?
Speaker 6 (35:22):
How about that.
Speaker 5 (35:26):
Lake Mary Florida against Bourne, Texas. Both teams are undefeated
in pool play. These some people think are the two
best teams. Do you like Lake Mary Florida or Bourne Texas.
Speaker 8 (35:38):
I'm going Lake Mary Florida, and I have no reasoning
behind that pick, but I'm feeling good about the fighting
Lake Mary Florida's.
Speaker 6 (35:46):
You know, Shannon, you can bet the Little League World
Series online. I feel like if you had information on
these teams, Shannon, you might be able to get some
get a bonus.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
I think I'm gonna do it anyway. I don't know
anything about them.
Speaker 6 (35:58):
I know that, you know.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
I feel like people in Tech are tougher than people
in Florida, So I think that the Texas kids are tough.
They're gonna win this game.
Speaker 6 (36:07):
Oh he is, then I did. I was gonna take
them anyway. Lake Mary, Florida.
Speaker 5 (36:11):
If you grow up in Lee Corso's backyard, Ryan, you
have to take them.
Speaker 6 (36:15):
I'm taking Florida.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
I'm gonna take Born, Texas. I feel like it sounds
like a town. There's nothing to do in that town
but play baseball. The Rangers have been really good lately.
The Houston Astroals have been really good lately. So the
state of Texas has become a baseball state.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
I'm going Born because it sounds like bored.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
Is that why you're picking it?
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Because it's I like that he's.
Speaker 5 (36:32):
Gonna do it because the Rangers have been good, which
might even be on the other side of the state.
Speaker 6 (36:36):
We're not sure, but that's all right. I like it.
Speaker 5 (36:39):
One serious thing that is happening right now, and I
don't I want to at least note it. In Elizabethtown
outside the courthouse this morning, there was a shooting.
Speaker 6 (36:50):
Uh. Three people shot.
Speaker 5 (36:52):
I haven't gotten the final word on their on their status,
but I think it's not great. And the shooter is
still at large. So for everyone in Elizabethtown. It was
outside the courthouse as people were waiting to go into
the courthouse. So prayers to everybody. That's that's an awful situation,
and prayers to everybody, the victims, but also the people
(37:15):
in the community. As apparently the shooter is still at
large in Hardin County.
Speaker 6 (37:19):
So sad. Yeah, that is said, No, really way to
transition that. So I'll just go to the next call.
Speaker 4 (37:25):
Who's up, All right, let's go to Stuart.
Speaker 6 (37:27):
Stuart, go ahead, Stuart.
Speaker 12 (37:30):
Good morning, Matthew.
Speaker 6 (37:31):
Couple of things.
Speaker 12 (37:33):
You and I both graduated from the same Institute of
Higher Learning there on Broadway in Lexington also known as TRANSYLVANIANSVANI,
and we shared a professor in common who just retired.
Now I broke him in among his first years there,
and you had him I think kind of the middle
(37:56):
or the end of his years. But doctor Doogie just
retired after thirty years.
Speaker 6 (38:01):
I did not know doctor Dougie retired. Wow, I I knew.
Speaker 5 (38:05):
I thought he would be there, like until they just
shut the place down.
Speaker 6 (38:10):
I mean he would.
Speaker 5 (38:11):
That was my That was my political science professor, probably
the professor one of two that I was the closest to.
Speaker 6 (38:19):
He was the guy who told me Drew before I
went to Duke.
Speaker 5 (38:23):
He said, if you sound like you do with your voice,
they're all gonna think you're an idiot. And I was like, well,
I can't really change it, and he goes, I said, well,
I can't really change my voice, and he goes, no,
don't change it. He was like, make them think you're
an idiot, and then you'll get them when you're actually smart. Andrew,
(38:44):
I actually always liked that advice.
Speaker 6 (38:45):
Honestly.
Speaker 7 (38:46):
I think i've heard you tell that story on these
airwaves before too.
Speaker 6 (38:49):
That's exactly right. That was Don Dougie that told me
that I.
Speaker 12 (38:52):
Had heard you mentioned him a number of times. And
I saw in the bulletin that Trancy sends out that
he had just retired and he influenced me.
Speaker 10 (39:01):
And I know I've.
Speaker 6 (39:02):
Heard you sink that he influenced you. He was great. Yeah,
now I'm glad you. Thanks for sharing that with me.
I appreciate the call.
Speaker 5 (39:07):
He probably was one of the most, if not the
most influential professors I had. He really encouraged me to
apply to the best law schools I could, and he
really got me to think about things in a different way.
And so yeah, he's definitely worth a salute. I haven't
seen him in a long time. I used to see
(39:27):
him shatting at off track, betting at before you could
do that on your phone.
Speaker 6 (39:32):
But a big shout out to Don Dougie. Who's next, Matt, Matt?
Speaker 13 (39:36):
Go ahead, Matt, Hey, Matt, first time, long time?
Speaker 6 (39:40):
Who are hey?
Speaker 13 (39:42):
I'm at Texas attorney, Kentucky alum and most importantly a
Cats fan. I got a question for you. So you
y'all been talking about how we can't be good. You
don't think under the house settlement of both football and basketball.
But I mean, you look at Auburn, you look at Bamma,
you look at Tennessee. They austenably become two sports schools too,
(40:02):
So how do we continue competing?
Speaker 6 (40:06):
We are a two sports school?
Speaker 5 (40:08):
Okay, I mean what yeah, we are what I mean
going forward under house, yes, but but the House will
make Okay, so that's a fair question. Under the new
settlement with the money that is distributed, the issue for
Kentucky is going to be the same issue, and that
is that we don't have enough donors. If we had
(40:31):
donors that could give twenty million in NIL, then actually,
I think.
Speaker 6 (40:34):
You could be great at both.
Speaker 5 (40:36):
But all House settlement's going to do is sort of
raise the minimum wage. But what it does allow is
a school could make a decision of, Okay, we can't
raise all this money from donors, but we can make
up with these other schools raised from donors by using
this pot of money we're given away.
Speaker 6 (40:54):
Does that make sense?
Speaker 5 (40:55):
So if you have a zillion, if you have a
zillion donors, and then you can be good at everything.
But if you don't, a school could say, Okay, I
don't have the donors to be good at both, but
this pot of money from House, I'll all put it
to one sport and we can be good at that
and then the other one just suffers.
Speaker 6 (41:12):
Does that make sense? Yeah?
Speaker 10 (41:15):
Does?
Speaker 13 (41:15):
That's the part that it's been hard for me, and
I'm guessing some other listeners too, is thinking about kind
of the interplay between House and NIL, because NIL will
still be there.
Speaker 5 (41:27):
And I will still be there. Yeah, and I will
still be there. But I'm gonna make your prediction. I
don't think the numbers will be as high because when
the House Settlement becomes law, what's gonna end up happening
is I think Congress will put a cap on the
inile money, and I think the courts will allow it
because of the House Settlement. That's very complicated, the legal reasons.
Speaker 6 (41:47):
Why you're a lawyer, you understand.
Speaker 5 (41:49):
I'm not going to go into it on here, but
I think it is more likely eventually you'll see an
nil cap because of.
Speaker 6 (41:56):
The House Settlement. Appreciate it, Matt, Thank you very much.
Court physical Therapy. If you end up and you are hurt,
if you have some sort of physical injury, go to

Speaker 6 (42:23):
Shannon, I'm looking outside my window and there are probably
five hundred cops right outside my window and a ton
of what looked like cars. I wonder, I mean that,
I think that's Trump's tower. I wonder if he's in there.
It's gotta be what it is.
Speaker 4 (42:38):
I would so yeah, people out there, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (42:40):
Yeah, I can't think of what else would be pretty
amazing sight. Actually, thank you folks very much. We'll finish
