otherwise we're here. It's it's almost football season. I mean
it's coming. And guys, how was your your Fourth of July? Ryan?
(01:18):
I saw you went to Otwell, Indiana.
Speaker 6 (01:20):
That's a tradition like none other, the Well Fourth of
July celebration, the parade. You know there are the fifteen
fire trucks, people riding their horses down mainting.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Do you know anyone that lives there anymore?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I think I know any like three people that I
saw up there.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
So you just went up there? Just did you go
by yourself?
Speaker 6 (01:35):
My parents we went to Jassford. I got my parents
from the three of us win.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
So that's beautiful, Drew. You went out to all those
the scenery in the American Southwest which we'd been to before. Right,
bad Lands.
Speaker 7 (01:46):
Bad Lands had a very patriotic break. I saw Mount Rushmore.
I'd never seen that before. Trump on there yet he
was not there yet. He's pretty impressive to see that.
I went and.
Speaker 8 (01:55):
Saw of the four people on Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Oh you got it, don't like you saw it? Ryan?
There are four people on Mount.
Speaker 6 (02:01):
Rush Right, Abraham Lincoln, yep, Theodore Roosevelt okay, uh, George
Washington okay.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
And the fourth one is John Adams.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
I don't think John Adams is on there. Who's the
fourth one?
Speaker 9 (02:16):
Wait?
Speaker 5 (02:16):
Which one? Did you?
Speaker 7 (02:17):
You said Lincoln, Roosevelt, Jefferson, and Washington?
Speaker 6 (02:20):
Those was the fourth I said Washington, not Jefferson.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
Okay, yeah, so you didn't get Jefferson. I had a
cool moment.
Speaker 7 (02:25):
We had an Airbnb facing Mount Rushmore, but at night
you couldn't see it. We were wondering if they like,
turn it on just because just pitch black. So I
played Whitney Houston super Bowl anthem on my phone. I'll
show it to you. Right when he gets the end
of our song, they lit up Mount Rushmore, which cheered
like we did it on our back.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Think they heard you.
Speaker 8 (02:40):
Yeah, it's pretty cool.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Okay, Well that's good.
Speaker 9 (02:42):
Well.
Speaker 7 (02:43):
I also got to see two historic baseball teams. The
Rockies hosted the White Sox's not the Summer of the Rockies.
Oh way, you got the two worst teams in the league.
I went there on the fourth of July. I went
for the fireworks, sold out crowd for a team on
pace to lose one hundred and twenty five games and
a team on pace.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
To they were there for the fireworks.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Clearly, that's kind of that's kind of nice though, to
see the two worst teams play, that's that's kind of exciting. Shannon,
What did you do?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Went down to Panama City Beach, Florida, hung out with
Lauri Morgan.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
She was right next to me.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Wow, I really wanted to go over and get a selfie,
but other people were bothering her. And I don't know
how you are when you see like a celebrity, I
don't want to go up and be I.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Used to be the bag. I used to be a
big Like, there's the celebrity, I want a picture with them.
Now I feel like I'm imposing. I try not to
do it. Now there are some people I'll do it with.
Louri Morgan's an interesting one because I would have thought
you could get a picture with Louri Morgan, Like, she
didn't get asked a lot, right, So you're telling me
she gets asked a lot.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Well, the way that I saw that she was, there
was somebody posting on social media and I'm going, well,
that's right across from where I'm at.
Speaker 10 (03:47):
No.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
No, someone called her out for being at the what
a restaurant?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
No, she's just on the beach, just sitting there, like
on the beach with everybody else.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Posted on social media, Louri Morgan is at the beach.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Well, does it change her mind if I told you
that she had a giant tent on the beach that
said Keith Whitley on the side of it, like it
was probably his merch tint that he used when he
was on Twitter.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Now this is getting dark. You're telling me Lori Morgan. Yes,
who how old is Lori Morgan?
Speaker 4 (04:15):
She's probably in her sixties.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
You're telling me Lori Morgan. Is she just on the
bench on the beach hanging.
Speaker 11 (04:23):
Out, Yes, just with like a couple of friends. Now,
so she's not like selling merchandise. No, she's she's hanging
out on the beach with her friends. Yes, and she's
under a Keith Whitley tent.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
A giant tent that says Keith Whitley on it. I
think she owns one of the houses right across from
the condo complex.
Speaker 11 (04:43):
That's really really standard, Like Keith Whitley is her I agree,
ex boyfriend?
Speaker 4 (04:49):
She's already married.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Yeah, and she married now, well, he.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Just passed away this year, this year, but you know,
she'd been merrily five or six times.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
But it is sort of strange that Keith Whitley's tent.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
It's weird because when Keith Whitley died, they weren't together.
Speaker 11 (05:06):
Yeah, and it kind of I'm sorry, I can't skip
over this.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
That's really strange. And like when you say a Keith
Whitley tint, is it like a tour tent?
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Well, you know, like if you would sell like okay.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Wait, if you're sell merchandise, like when.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
We do remote you know, we have those big tents.
It was about that size, but a little bit bigger,
and it has his name on it. And I feel
like that's calling attention to her. When you see, oh,
Keith Whitley tent, that's got to be somebody an.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Attention to something. That's really strange.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
To me because that's how I knew, That's how I
knew where she was. Let's got to be And I look.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
So who on social media posted Lori Morgan's at this beach?
We don't know Laurie Morgan because Mario is looking like,
who are these people? Loory Morgan's an old country singer
who was dating Keith Whitley, a Kentucky and he died.
What would you say? People drinking hard and drink dranking
(05:58):
himself to death has always been this story. I don't
know if that's actually a technical term, but and in
his one of his final songs, he sings tell Loriie
I love her yeah, which is one of maybe the
saddest songs of all time. And now that's thirty years later.
She's sitting on the beach in Panama City with a
Keith Whitley tin yep.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
And I'll screenshot the picture.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
So so you see it on social media and then
you're like, well, I'm gonna go over there.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Well, it was right across the street from my my condo.
I'm going, okay, there's these big beach houses. I'll start
up digging a little bit. And she owns one of
those houses right across from the conto.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Did you go?
Speaker 3 (06:33):
I went over there and I saw her. I I
don't want to So what did you say to her?
I saw her from a like she was twenty she was.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
You know, twenty yards away from me. But I didn't
go up and bother her. I'm like, well, there she is.
Speaker 12 (06:49):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Yeah, that is.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
That is quite a story. That's a better story than
anything I am.
Speaker 7 (06:54):
Well, I'm confused by this tint. Yeah, so he died
in like nineteen ninety is the tent that old or
did at some point after his death? Did someone make
a custom Keith Whitley tent?
Speaker 8 (07:04):
I don't, Yeah, And it's a that have to be
like a forty.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
Year someone nail you. And I'm a big Keith Whitley fan,
and I like Lori Morgan, That's a really bizarre story
to me, and I'm gonna have to take a while
to process.
Speaker 13 (07:18):
Well.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
On the fourth of July, I went walking through Louisville.
They had in uh Paris Town, which is a part
of Louisville that they sort of created out of nowhere, Shane,
And that was not a phrase I ever heard until
about five or six years ago. They were like, this
part of town is called Paris Town, and here's a
(07:39):
Paris Town Hall and a Paris Town village. And I
was like, you never called it that for a long time. Sure,
But but Jumpe Matteo went to Paris Town and I saw.
I didn't stay for it, but they had they were
having that night. They claimed the National donut eating contest. Oh,
I'm throwing the channel flag on the weather. It was national.
(08:01):
It was sponsored by Jeff's Donuts, which is a Louisville
donuts place, right, so I don't know if they get spot,
but they were having it that night. Yeah, and you
had ten minutes to eat as many glazed donuts as
you could. And I went inside. You could pre purchase
a donut just to see what people were eating. And
(08:24):
it was a big, thick donut. Okay, so think about
like the biggest donut you would buy over the counter
donuts glaze. Now, I didn't watch the finals, but I
was thinking to myself, let's just take us, okay, not professionals,
because you would have had to sit and watch in
(08:44):
the hot. It was ninety four degrees in the heat
to eat big old, thick glazed donuts. How many think
you think you could eat in ten.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
And ten minutes? You know, I'm a donut guy.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
I love donuts, But after about three or four I
get this, like the meat sweats, I start sweating and
getting sugar high.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I'm gonna say I could probably only eat ten, ten.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
Tens a lot. I mean it's a minute, I mean
ten on those. I mean those chips, don't know are
fit you? You could eat ten? We're doing this. That's it,
all right. So here's what.
Speaker 8 (09:22):
There are neighbor at cast Bar, and they'll do this.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
I'm sure they would do this. Would you would you try?
We would set it up outside of because yeah, there
are neighbor at Caspar. We'll set it up outside in
the heat so that you can recreate the temperature. Would
you this week do the ten donuts in ten minutes?
Speaker 6 (09:43):
I would absolutely try it just to eat the donuts?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Yeah, I love this.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
You would do it for the food?
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Yeah? I mean if I tap out it five, I
still got.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
No do you have to put put your whole?
Speaker 12 (09:52):
No?
Speaker 5 (09:52):
No, no, you're not taking them home with you. If
you don't eat them in the ten minutes, they're done.
This is not just a way for you to get
twelve glades.
Speaker 6 (09:59):
Now they're puting it on my play, don't I get
to keep it to go by?
Speaker 5 (10:02):
I'm gonna see. So you think you could do it?
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I probably could not, but I would give it a shot.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
You give it a shot, like a real shot. Yes,
ten glazed donuts and I would give it a shot.
We're doing that we're doing that this week.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I would give it a shot.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
What do you think, Shannon, We're doing that this week?
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Oh, let's do it.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
Anybody remote this week?
Speaker 6 (10:18):
My house?
Speaker 5 (10:19):
Perfect.
Speaker 8 (10:20):
That's when we can run inside.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
If you today at the remote, okay, some you figure
out how to get us the donuts? All right, you
will eat ten outside at your house.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Okay, I'm gonna try it. I'm saying I can do it.
I'm gonna try.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Does anybody else think they can top ten?
Speaker 7 (10:37):
No way, I was gonna add. I've done many food
challenges in the past. I used to be good at this.
I was gonna say five, and I thought that was
gonna be difficult. You going with ten?
Speaker 8 (10:47):
Once you get two or three down, that's gonna stud
real hard.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
These are these are thick. Yeah, I mean, just to
eat the ten donuts, you're gonna put on five pounds.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I say, I get sweat after eight, two or three donuts.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
I mean that may be a complete exaggeration. I just
made up five pounds. That's probably not how much you
would put on, but whatever it is, it's gonna. I mean,
your stomach.
Speaker 7 (11:08):
Will explode eight minutes in you have already had eight donuts.
Speaker 8 (11:12):
You're telling me you could eat two.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
More probablys, but I would give.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
We're doing it at ten thirty am. Okay, Friday, tell
you what.
Speaker 7 (11:21):
I'll go get the donuts. You'll get that. Don't want
Ryan have to leave his house to get the Mario
lives over by me. None of us are close to it.
I will personally make sure the donuts are there.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Look at that. Drew will get the donuts. Bloody, No, no,
I already told you. Why are you switching it to Spalding.
Jeffs is the one that did it, and Jeffs is
the one we had the other day. They're thick. Okay,
I want you because I want you to eat the
big thick ones like you.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
So if I get if I get five done, you're
doing ten. Well, there's no way I could probably do
ten and ten minutes.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Well, come up with ten. You came up with ten.
You're now like arguing with you yourself. You're the one
that said ten.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
Yeah, I think I maybe over exaggerated my.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
You got ten and ten minutes. That is Friday on
the show.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Joey Chestnut dips it in water.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Did I try to hear you got to do that?
That sounds gross in and of itself. No eat it ten.
I don't know. I didn't see water on the stage,
so I don't think you were allowed to do it
in water. Somebody, if you were there at the Paris
Town thing, let me know what the winner got, what
the winter got. I don't even know what the answer was,
but I saw it and I thought, boy in the summer,
(12:31):
in this heat. I don't know.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
I'm excited for Ryan to try, and I don't know
if I'll go just glaze you said, ten, glaze you.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Realize I'll be done the rest of the show.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Everyone like you after the colonoscopy, but just pre sugar rush. Yeah,
it'll be fun. We got another hour after the show,
all right. So the big story besides the fourth of July,
Kentucky gets a major commitment. Uh. Kentucky gets the commitment
from quarterback Matt Panatowski Ponatowski Pontoski pana TOASKI I believe
(13:04):
isn't that what I said? Yeah, you're right on it, Okay,
Matt Ponatowski.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
He is from Cincinnati. Top ten quarterback in America would
be one of the handful, if not the highest ranked
quarterback Kentucky's ever had committed not from the state of Kentucky.
Cincinnati's close, but it's technically not in the state, so
I think he passes that test. He is also a
top baseball store star. He is the reigning Gatorade National
(13:32):
Player of the Year in both football and baseball. ACMI
Ohio Player of the Year in both football.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
And baseball as a junior. He won that.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
As a junior, he won Shannon both of them all
and Ohio's at Ohio's pretty good. He is coming to Kentucky.
I'm not surprised because we'd heard this was gonna happen,
but this is a major, major get for UK Football's
a huge get.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
He comes from Archbishop Mueller in Cincinnati that just puts
out football producks. They're a powerhouse, but they play in
a difficult league in Ohio. And he still won those awards.
He was mister football. I think they were a runner
up in the state championship. He had four thousand something
yards with like three interceptions and five touchdowns. Went to
the Elite eleven camp earlier this summer and was the
most accurate passer there. Didn't win the MVP award, but
(14:18):
still turned a bunch of heads and just added to
his resume. I know it's hard to get really excited
about UK football right now, in the middle of all
the motivated talk and this season ahead, but this is
a gigantic commitment.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
I do want to get excited. Okay, take a break.
We're going to have a minute to get excited. Okay,
because this is worthy of getting excited. All the negative
Nellies and cynical Cindy's, which I have been one at
times and will be one again. You should take a
couple hours off because had they gotten this kid two
(14:51):
years ago, we'd be doing a parade. So we should
not do a parade right now, because it is a
pretty impressive for Kentucky. And we'll talk more about why
and Laurie Morgan's tent and Rhyme's donuts. That's next here
a chaazo was never good anyway. Tuesday I get a
little sideways. Wednesday feel better just for a spite.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Be great on the podcast.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
That's right. Thursday and Friday take too long Before I
know it. Great song. I gotta stop because I remember
the podcast won't have the music and it might not
sound as good. A cappella.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Oh it sounds great.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
You're gonna play tell Laurie I love her? And I
was like, are you gonna depress everyone?
Speaker 4 (15:37):
I know we could do that next.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
I've never played that song. I told the story of
that song and then played it to probably twenty people
over the years, some of whom don't even know country music,
and they all say, that's the most depressing thing I've
ever heard, Like because he recorded it right before he died.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Yeah, like a tape recorder or something like.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
A tape recorder, and the premise is I may leave
the earth, but just make sure Laurie knows I love.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Her some deep stuff.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
You're right, there is something about that recorder.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
We're married, by the way, I was wrong. Apparently they
were married. They were separated, but married.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
When it's haunting because it's a tape, it's a tape recorder,
and you can tell you it's like you just kind
of feel like he's alone in a room by himself, down.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
In the basement.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
That's the saddest song of all time.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
It's sad.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
Is there a sadder song than that?
Speaker 7 (16:25):
Knowing how his life ended shortly after he sing it?
Speaker 5 (16:28):
Shannon, you're a big music guy, Yeah, sadder song than
tell Laurie I love her with considering circumstances, etcetera.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
That would be hard to think of one.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
I know, yeah, like that.
Speaker 8 (16:41):
Tell her She's the only girl for me.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Seven seven two seven seven four five two five four
in the text machine. Is there a song sadder than
tell Laurie I Love her? I don't think there is.
I mean, there are songs that will make you cry,
but that one.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
I've always wondered about that song too. He you know,
if he did it in a tape recorder and just
left it there, somebody had to stumble across and probably
find it.
Speaker 10 (17:03):
You know.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Yeah, I've heard mixed things about what happened in that
when he recorded it and all that, but still said,
all right, real quick, let's go back to the quarterback.
Kentucky football is right now at the lowest point since
Mark Stoops took over. Even in the first couple of years,
there was at least the excitement of what might be.
(17:27):
That's all gone. And you just two weeks ago or
two and a half weeks ago, lost your head recruiter
and lifelong friend of Stoops, so like you couldn't have
been at a lower point. And since then, they've gotten
a number of commitments, some of which are impressive, some
of which were lower rated, but they've at least shown life.
But now to get at this point a four star
(17:49):
quarterback who plays both sports that will uplift both sports,
and to get him over major programs, all of whom
wanted him when he's not very far away and has
to know the perception of the program right now, I
think is an amazing accomplishment. And I think for as
much as we've criticized Mark Stoops and everybody, as much
(18:13):
as they've gotten, you know, a lot of heat, and
I think a lot of it deserved, there should be
a minute Drew to sit there and go, this is
quite an accomplishment.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Now.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
I know you can say, well, he isn't here yet,
he could always leave. That's true. You could say that
about any commitment ever. And if you want to take
the position I will never care about anyone that ever
commits because they might not come here fair enough, then
just skip recruiting season. But if you're gonna care about
recruiting at all, and I don't know how as a
fan you can't care about it at all, then you
(18:46):
have to say this is a pretty amazing accomplishment from
an embattled staff.
Speaker 7 (18:52):
Yeah, it's a remarkable get with uh just where he's ranked,
what he's already done in Ohio and how as you said,
he knows what's going around you ka football from an
hour away, and he didn't. Maybe he's not a lifelong fan,
but he knows where things are right now, and he
committed to a coordinator who's still pretty unproven here last
year did not go well on Hamden's first season, even
though he's a little handcuffed with the circumstances for him
(19:13):
to make that commitment.
Speaker 8 (19:14):
It is a big get. And I'm with you.
Speaker 7 (19:16):
I've I've been as down as anyone on Kentucky football,
but you have to be excited about this, even though
it is for on down the road a little bit. Yeah,
I mean like, that's the biggest get since Tim Couch
at quarterback.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
It is out of high and Drew Barker is the
only other one that had this ranking, but both those
guys were from Kentucky. Yeah, right, you know I said
the negative Nelly's in the cynical Cindy's I had a
cynical Cindy, send me Eric, send me something during the
break that has the rankings of the quarterbacks history. That's fine,
all that's true. We're gonna have plenty of time to
(19:46):
complain about it. But Ryan, I do think if you
are going to complain about things, you also have to
acknowledge when somebody does something good. You can't just be
like everything's bad and then something be balanced. And this
is an amazing pickup for you.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
My two big takeaways.
Speaker 6 (20:03):
I love the fact that the two programs, benjie On
and Stoops had to work together on this to get
this kid. They both had to work together. It's huge
for both, gonna play both, gonna play both.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
He said he wants to get drafted in both like
Kyler Murton.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
So I think both coaches kind of had to agree.
You know, I understand that this is what this kid's about.
We want this kid. We have to agree to it.
But the perception for both programs that they can pull
out this type of kid, especially for football, They're gonna
use that now and go recruit other kids.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
They huge. I mean, this is a huge get and
it shows some life.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Yeah it does.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
And listen, a lot of recruiting now is money. But
my guess is what makes this more impressive to me
is this is not the case like some of the
guys I think the staff has gotten. We just probably
priorities them more than other guys and gave him more money.
That's my guess. Some of these three star dudes, these
high three star dudes, we probably just offered them more
than other good programs. But this kid was probably offered
(20:56):
a lot of money by everybody. Yeah for sure, right this,
when you get to the top level kids, to some extent,
money is not even the reason. Basketball might be a
little different, but in football, all these programs would have
offered him a lot of money, which means he picked
Kentucky because he wanted to come or wanted to come here.
I'm going to assume he's gonna come until he does.
Speaker 7 (21:18):
Yeah, he had several offers, but the main three that
Kentucky beat out in the end were Oregon and Alabama.
I think we're all pretty aware of how I heard
of them, how they do art and football in Arkansas
was the other school SEC football but also just nearly
won the College World Series. He was really considering them
for baseball too, So in both sports you beat out
some of the top programs that are in the country.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
It's a huge, successful thing. And I would just say
I looked at the comments when I posted it. Most
were positive, but there were some oh last four eight
thirty nine. Okay, fine, there's gonna be plenty of time
for that. But take just a minute to be happy, right,
same thing happened at the end of cal There's a
(22:00):
group of people that wanted cow gone for so much
that they couldn't even root the successes on. You gotta
root the successes on and then at the end of
the year you evaluate where you are. But you got
to take a moment to enjoy the successes. If you
don't enjoy the successes, why are you even a fan?
Why are you even a fan? I mean, if we
beat old miss are you're gonna go five o night, Like,
(22:22):
just take a minute and be happy. There are gonna
be plenty of time probably to be sad.
Speaker 6 (22:28):
I think it shows too they can get big time
kids without vents.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Yes, that's another thing you can get. This is a
big time kid from Ohio that you did not get
with it.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
I think that's big.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
That is big. I didn't even think about the Ohio part.
That's big. Yeah, that is big.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
Also, a lot of The criticism is, you know, stoops
work ethic. Are they recruiting well over there? And you
can't still talk trash a little bit when they go
out and get a commitment like this shows they are
doing something.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
He stopped loving her today. Oh yeah, my mom suggests
that's a good one.
Speaker 14 (23:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
I still feel like tell Laurie I love her. Sadder,
but that's a good call from my mom. Be right back.
Speaker 10 (23:07):
T J.
Speaker 8 (23:08):
Smith, personal injury attorney, called TJ. He'll make them pay.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
See. I think it's the fact that it's like, I
think the fact that's on like a tape recorder makes
it sadder. Yeah, you know what I mean. It's not
produced at all.
Speaker 8 (23:35):
It's kind of gently plucking those streams.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
Yeah, and it feels like he's just sitting there being
sad and and like just the words where he says,
tell Laurie, I love her, Tell Laurie, I need her.
What's it? It's like, tell Laurie I give anything I
do just to see her. Oh this one. See that's
(24:11):
that's haunting right there is because it's like I'm in
a terrible place and if I could just see her,
So I so what it's all background to say, Shannon,
it's so weird to then think there's a tent on
a beach.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Yeah, I know somebody pointed out that it was I
guess the anniversary of his death.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
So maybe she was the tent out for that.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
I guess everybody's got a different way of grieving.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
So yeah, I mean that's true. You don't want to
judge people's I.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Ask you a question for you to switch subjects.
Speaker 6 (24:41):
The Keith Whitley Museum like was in like where that
Carter County they caught on fire or something.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Did they ever rebuild it.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
Or they was in It's Elliott County?
Speaker 12 (24:48):
Right?
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Is it Elliott County?
Speaker 5 (24:49):
Okause he didn't. He live in Sandy Hook where rockets
from Sandy Hook.
Speaker 6 (24:53):
And remember that museum we stopped in we were over there.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
Well, it wasn't a museum. It was a restaurant.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
Yes, remember it was like a museum.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
It was. It was literally like a Hamburger place. They
just had a lot of pictures of him. You're I
love Keith Whitley. I love that Hamburger place. But you're
being very generous and calling it a museum. It was
like a steak shack.
Speaker 6 (25:13):
Yeah, but it's part museum for him. I wonder whatever happened. Everything,
It was just pictures of him. It wasn't like it
wasn't a it was it was picture. They probably have
other cop uh Tears in Heaven sad song, Yeah, a
(25:36):
Warren z Von That's a great one, Shannon, keep Me
in your Heart. He sang that right before he died
of cancer, and it was basically like, uh, I know
I'm about to die, Please just remember I'm here.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
You should see. He sang that on David Letterman like
a month before he died, because he was like David
Letterman's favorite artist. And it's brutally sad. I'm not trying
to bring the mood down.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Everything songs today, That's what I'm playing. The sad.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
Yeah, So let's let's uh, let's talk for the donuts
just second before I go to the phone. Tends a
lot your Your girlfriend's trying to talk to you out
of it.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Yoga girl is begging me.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
She doesn't do not do it, and she if I
do it, she goes make sure there's somebody there with
the insulin standing by.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
Okay, I'll get the insulin all you know you don't
have diabetes.
Speaker 8 (26:26):
No, you will after this though on Friday.
Speaker 7 (26:29):
I mean you also can't get in the pool for
thirty minutes after you that's true.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
You can't make sure you can't get we don't want
to cramps? Is that true? By the way, people their
whole lives is that? Is that? Is that a thing?
Speaker 6 (26:41):
I think it's an old wives tale, I really do.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
Who came up with it?
Speaker 4 (26:44):
I no wife?
Speaker 6 (26:45):
Yeah, an old grandma you've always just dated you get
stand of the pool for thirty.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
Minutes, no cramps. Well, I'm excited for you to do it.
I think timing wise is not an issue. You have
enough time. You don't need to scarf it down. The
question just is can you physically do it? Like you
don't need the Joey chestnut and just you. The question
is just can you physically hold that amount of food?
Speaker 2 (27:10):
I'm gonna say the answer is gonna be a big
fat no.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
Well no, you have to go into the mindset that
you can do. Okay, you can if you go in
like if if you if your mind tells you you can't,
then you can.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
So I have to believe I can do it.
Speaker 8 (27:22):
You like these big ice coffees in the morning.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
What would make you to where you would feel more motivated?
If I gave you a financial reward? What if Mark
Stoops were there? What if I said, what if I
gave you? What if I say I'll give you two
hundred dollars if you do Oh.
Speaker 8 (27:42):
What about a per donut?
Speaker 5 (27:44):
No, I'm not doing that. That's two thousand dollars. But
what about if I said, you get two hundred dollars
if you do it.
Speaker 6 (27:51):
I think I'll be as wiped out as Shannon was
on his walk and you gave him five thousand dollars.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
Well, but I have a sponor I don't have a
do If Joffs Donuts wants to sponsor trying to.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Compare eating ten donuts to walking fifty miles, don't even
even start with me.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
If Jeff's Donuts wants to give us a grand to
do it, but I personally will give you two hundred
dollars if you do it.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
I will give it my best shots.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
You don't seem like are you rich now? You don't
need two hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
I absolutely need two hundred dollars Are you kidding?
Speaker 8 (28:19):
Or buy a lot of Jeff's donuts.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
That would be your classic ride thing. He did it,
got the two hundred dollars and wouldn't bought more donuts.
Let's go to John. Go ahead, John, John, go ahead?
Speaker 13 (28:33):
Yeah, Hello man, can you hear me?
Speaker 5 (28:35):
Yes? Go ahead?
Speaker 13 (28:37):
Okay, Oh yeah, hello? Is your renovation is gonna lie?
It's we are.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
We're scheduled right now to open. We're looking at August
the twenty sixth, that week, but we're gonna do some
special things leading up to it, including some stuff for fans. Actually,
I'll probably announce some of that early later later this week,
like some early openings for people who listen to the show.
Speaker 13 (29:04):
Okay, all right, the other quarterback slash Baseball Superstars A
good pickups for football team and.
Speaker 5 (29:12):
Well, yes, I mean I don't know how long I
appreciate the call. It's at least probably. I mean, when
does he play two three years from now? I mean
it's gonna be a while, insentially enough. It also says
for a quarterback, you don't commit unless you think Mark
Stoops that Bush Hampton's gonna be here, And that's a
long time to wait.
Speaker 7 (29:28):
Yeah, it shows that they really are trying to turn
things around there also, not just with him, but I
think he said it too. A lot of these guys
have committed and there's been feels like fifteen in the
last month. They all talk about the culture at Kentucky
and how it stood out. I don't know if that's
a message that they're intentionally telling them to work into
their comments, or if they're really seeing something behind closed
doors that looks makes the operation look a lot better
(29:49):
than it's been.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
Yeah, I have one person right say they might chip
in another one hundred dollars. Oh my, now you're up
to three.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
It's getting more enticing.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
No, no, you're doing this is not that. This isn't
to talk you into it. You're just getting offered rewards.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Eat eat eat donuts like you're do that.
Speaker 5 (30:09):
I've already said, yes you can.
Speaker 6 (30:10):
I'm doing it. I'm going for it. I just I
need to get motivated to do ten.
Speaker 5 (30:14):
So if you were hungry you said you could do ten.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Yeah, I was exaggerating. I'm sure a little bit.
Speaker 7 (30:20):
When you go to Jeff's. Because you go to Jeffs,
you do like two three. How many are you eating
a normal sitting one.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
Come on, now, you just gotta do nine more. It's
nine more in ten minutes. I've watched you on the show.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
You eat one like a week ago before we left,
when they brought him out.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
You've eat That's true. We had some at the standard
brag track there Wednesday.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
So you've just wanted you basically eat two every Friday.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Yeah, but now I got to figure in it.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
Eight more, Jerry, go ahead, Jerry, Matt Yes, talk Jerry.
Speaker 15 (30:56):
Hey, al right, sorry Matt, Hey, uh I. I'm excited
to see this quarterback come here. I just run over
the years of these recruits the way they can.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
But why do you have to do the butt? I'm
being dead serious when it's negative, Jerry, you are always
adamant to be negative. You're always quick to say things
are bad. You're always quick to, like if we lose
a game, call and blast them. And I'm fine with that, Like,
I know that when Jerry's on there'll be some negativity,
(31:25):
and I'm cool with that. But when something positive happens,
why is your initial inclination within one and a half
seconds to say butt and then something negative. Why can't
you just take a minute to say you've talked about
culture on this show a lot. This is a good sign.
Speaker 15 (31:43):
Well, well i'll put it when I saw it. He
signed yesterday. I wasn't pulled up the two fifty rankings
for classes for that for next year, with all these
guys that they've had.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
Commitments, I'll just say this.
Speaker 13 (31:57):
Positive hey.
Speaker 15 (32:01):
For him, Yes, but this class is still ain't forty fourth.
Speaker 5 (32:04):
See, I can't do that. You appreciate the call, Jerry.
I can't do this. The class doesn't. It has struggled.
But you get a piece of positive news. And when
you get one piece of positive news and the only
thing you can say is negative news. I don't know
how people can be a fan like that, Shan and
I don't like if everything is negative.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Why do you watch it? Be a fan.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
I can't not take Donald Trump as president. Every day
he drives me crazy. With that said, you do have
to be you do have to say, okay, well the
border crossings are down, the illegal boy give him credit
for that. There's something right like, you have to do that.
I hate when people get so into their frame of
(32:48):
mind that you can't say anything positive. Doesn't mean you
have to like, you can still think Mark Stoops should
be fired. But you can say, well, at least it's
good news. We get this guy. Why can't you do that?
Speaker 10 (33:01):
Did?
Speaker 2 (33:02):
I don't get it either.
Speaker 6 (33:02):
If it's been over this program has been begging for
some good news for over a year.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
You got it, man.
Speaker 6 (33:07):
You got this top notch recruit that most people places
in the country would want to have it.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Kentucky got him.
Speaker 7 (33:12):
I think the answer on the Stoop situation is some
people almost don't want him to have success.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
And when you're in that point, I had this mindset
with cal that last year. When you're in the point
that you're rooting for him to fail so you'll be right,
that's a you problem. Right. If you want to be
right so much that you'll cut your nose off your face,
then that's a U problem. If you hate the president
(33:39):
so much that you want there to be bad news
so they get criticized, that's a you problem, that's not
a them problem. And there are some people like that
with Mark Stoops, and I think you're going in the
wrong direction when you do that. When does the law
familiar game start? Right? April eighteenth, Friday, April eighteenth, That
is not that's a there's not one word there, that's correct,
(34:04):
Friday July Friday, April the eighteenth.
Speaker 6 (34:09):
I can't I know exactly when my mind did that
of it.
Speaker 5 (34:11):
When your mind did it? It did it ten seconds ago?
Speaker 6 (34:14):
Yeah, I'm still on April football. The last time we
had some good news April of last year.
Speaker 5 (34:20):
Bryan. I was hoping Ryan would like a contribute, and
Friday April the eighteenth was not. Lave Familia starts Friday
July eighteenth, but Thursday, July the seventeenth is a public
bourbon bottle signing Bespoken Spirits at gray Line. All four
Club Blue bourbon bottles will be ready for purchase and
the players will be there to sign. That includes the
(34:43):
Harrison Twins, Archie Goodwin, Annsley, Almanor, de Ron Lamb, Willie
Caldy signed DeAndre Liggins. About this, said Keith Whitley Khalil Whitney.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
The heck of a get they.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
Get Friday July the eighteenth, or excuse me, Thursday July seventeenth,
the night before the first game at gray Line Station
in Lexington. Come get Club Club Blue bourbon bottles and
get them signed by the former players. That's a lot
of people to get to be there to meet them.
That is Thursday, July seventeenth at Gray Line at six o'clock.
We'll take a break right back, Chiozar, welcome back, take
(35:19):
any sports radio. I'm not gonna play this song because
it is a bummer, but it's a good one to
listen to if you want. If you're in a bumming mood,
warns zvone, keep me. I'm telling you that's like the
saddest David Letterman appearance.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
You want to be depressed. If you're already depressed, I
want to be more depressed.
Speaker 4 (35:39):
Listen, listen to just play.
Speaker 5 (35:40):
The playlist playlist we picked today the most depressing. What person,
writes Matt Jerry would be the kind of person who
would win the power ball and then complain about the taxes. Yes,
that's a good example. That's a perfect example. That's exactly
what he would do.
Speaker 7 (35:57):
It's like when we've had contests in the past for
something free. Oh that day doesn't work out, that's too
far to drive.
Speaker 5 (36:03):
You win it. You went in the war, You win
a thing, and then you go. I mean where the
seats at? When people do wear the seats.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
I always have the same answer facing the stage, where.
Speaker 5 (36:14):
The seats at Yeah, people, your Reds tickets? Where are they?
You mean the free ones?
Speaker 8 (36:22):
That's a day game though I can't do day games.
Speaker 5 (36:25):
That's yeah, So Marcia she Marcia was at the show
on Friday. Marcia said, Hey, I'm gonna go to the
Reds game Monday. Are you gonna be there? And I said,
you know, I'm not sure, but if I don't go,
you can have my So she wasn't even asking, she
was just gonna say that. She would say, Hi, So
I've decided to go tonight. So I text she. I
(36:47):
text her and said, Okay, I've decided to go Monday,
but if you want, you could have Wednesdays. She said, Oh,
I would love it. That's like, that's that's the attitude day,
that's the attitude d They're free yeah, right and marsh
of all people, that's right. All right, we got a
bunch of people out here. I want to give him
a chance. So this, let's put the thirty second shot
clock on. All right, ready, Shannon Gary in Orlando, go.
Speaker 16 (37:10):
Well, get after good morning, guys.
Speaker 13 (37:11):
Two quick stories.
Speaker 16 (37:14):
Years ago, all right, Mower High School years ago had
Gary Faust as a coach. They contacted a friend of
mine who was an assistant at a small school in
Kentuckians had come up and look at these kids. So
he goes up and watch them play this game. And
the kids never gotten the game. And he went to
Foust after the game and he said, hey, man, he said,
I came up here and the kids ever even got
(37:35):
on the field. He said, I said they were good
enough to play for you.
Speaker 5 (37:41):
Do you feel it coming felt back? He was coming
through one story, Shandon. I mean, I knew guys in
thirty seconds, so you get two stories? Didn't you get
him through one? And I don't even know the ending
of that one? And most people listen don't even know
who Gary Faust is.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Now, I want to know who the two kids were.
Speaker 5 (37:58):
Did they get the coach noted Sime. Alright, you can't
be greg thirty seconds go.
Speaker 10 (38:09):
All right, we got to focus on this athleticism for
mister Ryan Lemon.
Speaker 14 (38:12):
He can do it.
Speaker 10 (38:13):
He can do the donut challenge, but he's got a practice.
That's the secret of Joey Chestnut. He does practice. Okay,
you gotta we gotta work with Jeff. We gotta get
you a dozen a day, buddy. You gotta start taking
down a real quick, real quick assists. I got, I
got ten seconds left? Go what you got to say?
Speaker 12 (38:30):
Sam?
Speaker 5 (38:32):
Cat do cats? There you go? Appreciates calling all right,
even gets to go. Do you do need to practice
like do throat exercises?
Speaker 6 (38:45):
My dad even sent me a text, not a smart
idea Ryan smartest.
Speaker 8 (38:52):
I can hear it in his voice too, right, yeah, smartest?
Speaker 5 (38:56):
Thirty seconds, Mike, Mike.
Speaker 14 (39:02):
Matt, listen, hello, go back. Can you hear me?
Speaker 4 (39:08):
Twenty twenty seconds?
Speaker 14 (39:10):
Oh okay, so listen.
Speaker 17 (39:12):
I haven't on good authority. You've been given Rich Barnhard
a lot of credit for being forward thinking, which is good.
But I haven't on good authority of a certain high
networth individual that might be an NBA owner came to
the Kentucky Football Association Athletic Association and offered to give
him a lot of money.
Speaker 5 (39:31):
I wish to again, I would wonder, I wonder where
that was going on. Yes, that would have start, that
would have I'd actually wonder what you say, who could
be a net owner that would want to give UK
athletics money? Do we have any UK people who own
a team? Not owners?
Speaker 8 (39:49):
That's coming to mind.
Speaker 5 (39:51):
I can't think of who that would.
Speaker 8 (39:52):
Be put them back on it.
Speaker 5 (39:54):
It was intriguing. Listen, I gave him thirty s. That
was intriguing, though, Mark thirty seconds.
Speaker 9 (40:00):
Ryan, just take the donuts to put him in two
stacks to five, flatten them with your hand.
Speaker 5 (40:05):
Be done. Okay, First, I don't like your little You
don't need to practice. You don't need to practice. All right, well,
I mean listen, that would be I appreciate the call.
That is, I guess, a good piece of advice. It's
kind of gross, but all right.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
I like that idea. Though, mash them together.
Speaker 5 (40:25):
You're doing it either way. Okay. By the way, if
you mash them two hundred dollars off the table, please
go ahead.
Speaker 9 (40:32):
Hey, I hate the Vince left. I don't think it's
the end of the world. I think with the transfer
portal is more important. Plus, if I believe what I read,
I would want to be choosing my own wide receivers.
If I'm the receivers coach or running backs coach, I
wouldn't want Vince telling me here's the kid, you make
it work. So I don't think it's that big a deal.
I think we're gonna have a decent season.
Speaker 5 (40:55):
I understand that viewpoint. I actually don't think I appreciate
the call. I don't think that's a crazy viewpoint, especially
the portal art. I think the portal's gonna become even
more important. It already is even more important than high
school recruiting. A right, Jay Rock thirty seconds?
Speaker 12 (41:08):
Hello, Hello, Yes, hein Matthew, Matthew that hey, hey man,
I want some RESK tickets, but I want to sit
in the bleacher Tyler.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
That's why he's the best caller we have.
Speaker 5 (41:25):
He is the best. He is a good caller. I agree.
If I'm nine eight twenty two, we've got one more.
Anthony thirty seconds, Right, yeah, Ryan, what's going on?
Speaker 12 (41:36):
Man?
Speaker 14 (41:36):
It's is heavy Jones, Man, I think we need to
uh really get back to the basics and really hit
this transfer a portal really hard, because we're fool if
we think we're gonna really look to the future with
a freshman quarterback. I mean, did we forget about Clutter Bowley? Already?
We had twenty losses the last three years. This program
is in a lot of trouble we got I mean.
Speaker 5 (41:57):
Listen, first of all, he's not slive next year, He's
not starting next year. I appreciate the call. I mean
either Cutter Bowley or if they don't think it's Cutter Bowley,
they will get one out of the portal. Sure he's
not starting next year, but that doesn't mean it's not
a good person to have. Right, everybody always wants Cutter
Bowlie to play. I do too, Well, when did we
get Cutter Bowley out of high school? Yep? I think
(42:20):
you in a perfect world, you get somebody out of
high school, and then you get somebody out of the portal,
and you make that work.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
That's how you got it.
Speaker 5 (42:25):
That's how you make it work. And they feel like
they got their high school guy. Well, we'll take a
break and come back. This is our number two Tucky

(01:18):
I saw you went to Otwell, Indiana.
Speaker 6 (01:20):
That's a tradition like none other, the Well Fourth of
July celebration, the parade. You know there are the fifteen
fire trucks, people riding their horses down mainting.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Do you know anyone that lives there anymore?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I think I know any like three people that I
saw up there.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
So you just went up there? Just did you go
by yourself?
Speaker 6 (01:35):
My parents we went to Jassford. I got my parents
from the three of us win.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
So that's beautiful, Drew. You went out to all those
the scenery in the American Southwest which we'd been to before. Right,
bad Lands.
Speaker 7 (01:46):
Bad Lands had a very patriotic break. I saw Mount Rushmore.
I'd never seen that before. Trump on there yet he
was not there yet. He's pretty impressive to see that.
I went and.
Speaker 8 (01:55):
Saw of the four people on Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Oh you got it, don't like you saw it? Ryan?
There are four people on Mount.
Speaker 6 (02:01):
Rush Right, Abraham Lincoln, yep, Theodore Roosevelt okay, uh, George
Washington okay.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
And the fourth one is John Adams.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
I don't think John Adams is on there. Who's the
fourth one?
Speaker 9 (02:16):
Wait?
Speaker 5 (02:16):
Which one? Did you?
Speaker 7 (02:17):
You said Lincoln, Roosevelt, Jefferson, and Washington?
Speaker 6 (02:20):
Those was the fourth I said Washington, not Jefferson.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
Okay, yeah, so you didn't get Jefferson. I had a
cool moment.
Speaker 7 (02:25):
We had an Airbnb facing Mount Rushmore, but at night
you couldn't see it. We were wondering if they like,
turn it on just because just pitch black. So I
played Whitney Houston super Bowl anthem on my phone. I'll
show it to you. Right when he gets the end
of our song, they lit up Mount Rushmore, which cheered
like we did it on our back.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Think they heard you.
Speaker 8 (02:40):
Yeah, it's pretty cool.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Okay, Well that's good.
Speaker 9 (02:42):
Well.
Speaker 7 (02:43):
I also got to see two historic baseball teams. The
Rockies hosted the White Sox's not the Summer of the Rockies.
Oh way, you got the two worst teams in the league.
I went there on the fourth of July. I went
for the fireworks, sold out crowd for a team on
pace to lose one hundred and twenty five games and
a team on pace.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
To they were there for the fireworks.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Clearly, that's kind of that's kind of nice though, to
see the two worst teams play, that's that's kind of exciting. Shannon,
What did you do?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Went down to Panama City Beach, Florida, hung out with
Lauri Morgan.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
She was right next to me.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Wow, I really wanted to go over and get a selfie,
but other people were bothering her. And I don't know
how you are when you see like a celebrity, I
don't want to go up and be I.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Used to be the bag. I used to be a
big Like, there's the celebrity, I want a picture with them.
Now I feel like I'm imposing. I try not to
do it. Now there are some people I'll do it with.
Louri Morgan's an interesting one because I would have thought
you could get a picture with Louri Morgan, Like, she
didn't get asked a lot, right, So you're telling me
she gets asked a lot.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Well, the way that I saw that she was, there
was somebody posting on social media and I'm going, well,
that's right across from where I'm at.
Speaker 10 (03:47):
No.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
No, someone called her out for being at the what
a restaurant?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
No, she's just on the beach, just sitting there, like
on the beach with everybody else.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Posted on social media, Louri Morgan is at the beach.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Well, does it change her mind if I told you
that she had a giant tent on the beach that
said Keith Whitley on the side of it, like it
was probably his merch tint that he used when he
was on Twitter.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Now this is getting dark. You're telling me Lori Morgan. Yes,
who how old is Lori Morgan?
Speaker 4 (04:15):
She's probably in her sixties.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
You're telling me Lori Morgan. Is she just on the
bench on the beach hanging.
Speaker 11 (04:23):
Out, Yes, just with like a couple of friends. Now,
so she's not like selling merchandise. No, she's she's hanging
out on the beach with her friends. Yes, and she's
under a Keith Whitley tent.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
A giant tent that says Keith Whitley on it. I
think she owns one of the houses right across from
the condo complex.
Speaker 11 (04:43):
That's really really standard, Like Keith Whitley is her I agree,
ex boyfriend?
Speaker 4 (04:49):
She's already married.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Yeah, and she married now, well, he.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Just passed away this year, this year, but you know,
she'd been merrily five or six times.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
But it is sort of strange that Keith Whitley's tent.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
It's weird because when Keith Whitley died, they weren't together.
Speaker 11 (05:06):
Yeah, and it kind of I'm sorry, I can't skip
over this.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
That's really strange. And like when you say a Keith
Whitley tint, is it like a tour tent?
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Well, you know, like if you would sell like okay.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Wait, if you're sell merchandise, like when.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
We do remote you know, we have those big tents.
It was about that size, but a little bit bigger,
and it has his name on it. And I feel
like that's calling attention to her. When you see, oh,
Keith Whitley tent, that's got to be somebody an.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Attention to something. That's really strange.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
To me because that's how I knew, That's how I
knew where she was. Let's got to be And I look.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
So who on social media posted Lori Morgan's at this beach?
We don't know Laurie Morgan because Mario is looking like,
who are these people? Loory Morgan's an old country singer
who was dating Keith Whitley, a Kentucky and he died.
What would you say? People drinking hard and drink dranking
(05:58):
himself to death has always been this story. I don't
know if that's actually a technical term, but and in
his one of his final songs, he sings tell Loriie
I love her yeah, which is one of maybe the
saddest songs of all time. And now that's thirty years later.
She's sitting on the beach in Panama City with a
Keith Whitley tin yep.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
And I'll screenshot the picture.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
So so you see it on social media and then
you're like, well, I'm gonna go over there.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Well, it was right across the street from my my condo.
I'm going, okay, there's these big beach houses. I'll start
up digging a little bit. And she owns one of
those houses right across from the conto.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Did you go?
Speaker 3 (06:33):
I went over there and I saw her. I I
don't want to So what did you say to her?
I saw her from a like she was twenty she was.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
You know, twenty yards away from me. But I didn't
go up and bother her. I'm like, well, there she is.
Speaker 12 (06:49):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Yeah, that is.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
That is quite a story. That's a better story than
anything I am.
Speaker 7 (06:54):
Well, I'm confused by this tint. Yeah, so he died
in like nineteen ninety is the tent that old or
did at some point after his death? Did someone make
a custom Keith Whitley tent?
Speaker 8 (07:04):
I don't, Yeah, And it's a that have to be
like a forty.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
Year someone nail you. And I'm a big Keith Whitley fan,
and I like Lori Morgan, That's a really bizarre story
to me, and I'm gonna have to take a while
to process.
Speaker 13 (07:18):
Well.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
On the fourth of July, I went walking through Louisville.
They had in uh Paris Town, which is a part
of Louisville that they sort of created out of nowhere, Shane,
And that was not a phrase I ever heard until
about five or six years ago. They were like, this
part of town is called Paris Town, and here's a
(07:39):
Paris Town Hall and a Paris Town village. And I
was like, you never called it that for a long time. Sure,
But but Jumpe Matteo went to Paris Town and I saw.
I didn't stay for it, but they had they were
having that night. They claimed the National donut eating contest. Oh,
I'm throwing the channel flag on the weather. It was national.
(08:01):
It was sponsored by Jeff's Donuts, which is a Louisville
donuts place, right, so I don't know if they get spot,
but they were having it that night. Yeah, and you
had ten minutes to eat as many glazed donuts as
you could. And I went inside. You could pre purchase
a donut just to see what people were eating. And
(08:24):
it was a big, thick donut. Okay, so think about
like the biggest donut you would buy over the counter
donuts glaze. Now, I didn't watch the finals, but I
was thinking to myself, let's just take us, okay, not professionals,
because you would have had to sit and watch in
(08:44):
the hot. It was ninety four degrees in the heat
to eat big old, thick glazed donuts. How many think
you think you could eat in ten.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
And ten minutes? You know, I'm a donut guy.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
I love donuts, But after about three or four I
get this, like the meat sweats, I start sweating and
getting sugar high.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I'm gonna say I could probably only eat ten, ten.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
Tens a lot. I mean it's a minute, I mean
ten on those. I mean those chips, don't know are
fit you? You could eat ten? We're doing this. That's it,
all right. So here's what.
Speaker 8 (09:22):
There are neighbor at cast Bar, and they'll do this.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
I'm sure they would do this. Would you would you try?
We would set it up outside of because yeah, there
are neighbor at Caspar. We'll set it up outside in
the heat so that you can recreate the temperature. Would
you this week do the ten donuts in ten minutes?
Speaker 6 (09:43):
I would absolutely try it just to eat the donuts?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Yeah, I love this.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
You would do it for the food?
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Yeah? I mean if I tap out it five, I
still got.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
No do you have to put put your whole?
Speaker 12 (09:52):
No?
Speaker 5 (09:52):
No, no, you're not taking them home with you. If
you don't eat them in the ten minutes, they're done.
This is not just a way for you to get
twelve glades.
Speaker 6 (09:59):
Now they're puting it on my play, don't I get
to keep it to go by?
Speaker 5 (10:02):
I'm gonna see. So you think you could do it?
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I probably could not, but I would give it a shot.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
You give it a shot, like a real shot. Yes,
ten glazed donuts and I would give it a shot.
We're doing that we're doing that this week.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I would give it a shot.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
What do you think, Shannon, We're doing that this week?
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Oh, let's do it.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
Anybody remote this week?
Speaker 6 (10:18):
My house?
Speaker 5 (10:19):
Perfect.
Speaker 8 (10:20):
That's when we can run inside.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
If you today at the remote, okay, some you figure
out how to get us the donuts? All right, you
will eat ten outside at your house.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Okay, I'm gonna try it. I'm saying I can do it.
I'm gonna try.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Does anybody else think they can top ten?
Speaker 7 (10:37):
No way, I was gonna add. I've done many food
challenges in the past. I used to be good at this.
I was gonna say five, and I thought that was
gonna be difficult. You going with ten?
Speaker 8 (10:47):
Once you get two or three down, that's gonna stud
real hard.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
These are these are thick. Yeah, I mean, just to
eat the ten donuts, you're gonna put on five pounds.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I say, I get sweat after eight, two or three donuts.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
I mean that may be a complete exaggeration. I just
made up five pounds. That's probably not how much you
would put on, but whatever it is, it's gonna. I mean,
your stomach.
Speaker 7 (11:08):
Will explode eight minutes in you have already had eight donuts.
Speaker 8 (11:12):
You're telling me you could eat two.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
More probablys, but I would give.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
We're doing it at ten thirty am. Okay, Friday, tell
you what.
Speaker 7 (11:21):
I'll go get the donuts. You'll get that. Don't want
Ryan have to leave his house to get the Mario
lives over by me. None of us are close to it.
I will personally make sure the donuts are there.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Look at that. Drew will get the donuts. Bloody, No, no,
I already told you. Why are you switching it to Spalding.
Jeffs is the one that did it, and Jeffs is
the one we had the other day. They're thick. Okay,
I want you because I want you to eat the
big thick ones like you.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
So if I get if I get five done, you're
doing ten. Well, there's no way I could probably do
ten and ten minutes.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Well, come up with ten. You came up with ten.
You're now like arguing with you yourself. You're the one
that said ten.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
Yeah, I think I maybe over exaggerated my.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
You got ten and ten minutes. That is Friday on
the show.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Joey Chestnut dips it in water.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Did I try to hear you got to do that?
That sounds gross in and of itself. No eat it ten.
I don't know. I didn't see water on the stage,
so I don't think you were allowed to do it
in water. Somebody, if you were there at the Paris
Town thing, let me know what the winner got, what
the winter got. I don't even know what the answer was,
but I saw it and I thought, boy in the summer,
(12:31):
in this heat. I don't know.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
I'm excited for Ryan to try, and I don't know
if I'll go just glaze you said, ten, glaze you.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Realize I'll be done the rest of the show.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Everyone like you after the colonoscopy, but just pre sugar rush. Yeah,
it'll be fun. We got another hour after the show,
all right. So the big story besides the fourth of July,
Kentucky gets a major commitment. Uh. Kentucky gets the commitment
from quarterback Matt Panatowski Ponatowski Pontoski pana TOASKI I believe
(13:04):
isn't that what I said? Yeah, you're right on it, Okay,
Matt Ponatowski.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
He is from Cincinnati. Top ten quarterback in America would
be one of the handful, if not the highest ranked
quarterback Kentucky's ever had committed not from the state of Kentucky.
Cincinnati's close, but it's technically not in the state, so
I think he passes that test. He is also a
top baseball store star. He is the reigning Gatorade National
(13:32):
Player of the Year in both football and baseball. ACMI
Ohio Player of the Year in both football.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
And baseball as a junior. He won that.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
As a junior, he won Shannon both of them all
and Ohio's at Ohio's pretty good. He is coming to Kentucky.
I'm not surprised because we'd heard this was gonna happen,
but this is a major, major get for UK Football's
a huge get.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
He comes from Archbishop Mueller in Cincinnati that just puts
out football producks. They're a powerhouse, but they play in
a difficult league in Ohio. And he still won those awards.
He was mister football. I think they were a runner
up in the state championship. He had four thousand something
yards with like three interceptions and five touchdowns. Went to
the Elite eleven camp earlier this summer and was the
most accurate passer there. Didn't win the MVP award, but
(14:18):
still turned a bunch of heads and just added to
his resume. I know it's hard to get really excited
about UK football right now, in the middle of all
the motivated talk and this season ahead, but this is
a gigantic commitment.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
I do want to get excited. Okay, take a break.
We're going to have a minute to get excited. Okay,
because this is worthy of getting excited. All the negative
Nellies and cynical Cindy's, which I have been one at
times and will be one again. You should take a
couple hours off because had they gotten this kid two
(14:51):
years ago, we'd be doing a parade. So we should
not do a parade right now, because it is a
pretty impressive for Kentucky. And we'll talk more about why
and Laurie Morgan's tent and Rhyme's donuts. That's next here
a chaazo was never good anyway. Tuesday I get a
little sideways. Wednesday feel better just for a spite.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Be great on the podcast.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
That's right. Thursday and Friday take too long Before I
know it. Great song. I gotta stop because I remember
the podcast won't have the music and it might not
sound as good. A cappella.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Oh it sounds great.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
You're gonna play tell Laurie I love her? And I
was like, are you gonna depress everyone?
Speaker 4 (15:37):
I know we could do that next.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
I've never played that song. I told the story of
that song and then played it to probably twenty people
over the years, some of whom don't even know country music,
and they all say, that's the most depressing thing I've
ever heard, Like because he recorded it right before he died.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Yeah, like a tape recorder or something like.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
A tape recorder, and the premise is I may leave
the earth, but just make sure Laurie knows I love.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Her some deep stuff.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
You're right, there is something about that recorder.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
We're married, by the way, I was wrong. Apparently they
were married. They were separated, but married.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
When it's haunting because it's a tape, it's a tape recorder,
and you can tell you it's like you just kind
of feel like he's alone in a room by himself, down.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
In the basement.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
That's the saddest song of all time.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
It's sad.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
Is there a sadder song than that?
Speaker 7 (16:25):
Knowing how his life ended shortly after he sing it?
Speaker 5 (16:28):
Shannon, you're a big music guy, Yeah, sadder song than
tell Laurie I love her with considering circumstances, etcetera.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
That would be hard to think of one.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
I know, yeah, like that.
Speaker 8 (16:41):
Tell her She's the only girl for me.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Seven seven two seven seven four five two five four
in the text machine. Is there a song sadder than
tell Laurie I Love her? I don't think there is.
I mean, there are songs that will make you cry,
but that one.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
I've always wondered about that song too. He you know,
if he did it in a tape recorder and just
left it there, somebody had to stumble across and probably
find it.
Speaker 10 (17:03):
You know.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Yeah, I've heard mixed things about what happened in that
when he recorded it and all that, but still said,
all right, real quick, let's go back to the quarterback.
Kentucky football is right now at the lowest point since
Mark Stoops took over. Even in the first couple of years,
there was at least the excitement of what might be.
(17:27):
That's all gone. And you just two weeks ago or
two and a half weeks ago, lost your head recruiter
and lifelong friend of Stoops, so like you couldn't have
been at a lower point. And since then, they've gotten
a number of commitments, some of which are impressive, some
of which were lower rated, but they've at least shown life.
But now to get at this point a four star
(17:49):
quarterback who plays both sports that will uplift both sports,
and to get him over major programs, all of whom
wanted him when he's not very far away and has
to know the perception of the program right now, I
think is an amazing accomplishment. And I think for as
much as we've criticized Mark Stoops and everybody, as much
(18:13):
as they've gotten, you know, a lot of heat, and
I think a lot of it deserved, there should be
a minute Drew to sit there and go, this is
quite an accomplishment.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Now.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
I know you can say, well, he isn't here yet,
he could always leave. That's true. You could say that
about any commitment ever. And if you want to take
the position I will never care about anyone that ever
commits because they might not come here fair enough, then
just skip recruiting season. But if you're gonna care about
recruiting at all, and I don't know how as a
fan you can't care about it at all, then you
(18:46):
have to say this is a pretty amazing accomplishment from
an embattled staff.
Speaker 7 (18:52):
Yeah, it's a remarkable get with uh just where he's ranked,
what he's already done in Ohio and how as you said,
he knows what's going around you ka football from an
hour away, and he didn't. Maybe he's not a lifelong fan,
but he knows where things are right now, and he
committed to a coordinator who's still pretty unproven here last
year did not go well on Hamden's first season, even
though he's a little handcuffed with the circumstances for him
(19:13):
to make that commitment.
Speaker 8 (19:14):
It is a big get. And I'm with you.
Speaker 7 (19:16):
I've I've been as down as anyone on Kentucky football,
but you have to be excited about this, even though
it is for on down the road a little bit. Yeah,
I mean like, that's the biggest get since Tim Couch
at quarterback.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
It is out of high and Drew Barker is the
only other one that had this ranking, but both those
guys were from Kentucky. Yeah, right, you know I said
the negative Nelly's in the cynical Cindy's I had a
cynical Cindy, send me Eric, send me something during the
break that has the rankings of the quarterbacks history. That's fine,
all that's true. We're gonna have plenty of time to
(19:46):
complain about it. But Ryan, I do think if you
are going to complain about things, you also have to
acknowledge when somebody does something good. You can't just be
like everything's bad and then something be balanced. And this
is an amazing pickup for you.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
My two big takeaways.
Speaker 6 (20:03):
I love the fact that the two programs, benjie On
and Stoops had to work together on this to get
this kid. They both had to work together. It's huge
for both, gonna play both, gonna play both.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
He said he wants to get drafted in both like
Kyler Murton.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
So I think both coaches kind of had to agree.
You know, I understand that this is what this kid's about.
We want this kid. We have to agree to it.
But the perception for both programs that they can pull
out this type of kid, especially for football, They're gonna
use that now and go recruit other kids.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
They huge. I mean, this is a huge get and
it shows some life.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Yeah it does.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
And listen, a lot of recruiting now is money. But
my guess is what makes this more impressive to me
is this is not the case like some of the
guys I think the staff has gotten. We just probably
priorities them more than other guys and gave him more money.
That's my guess. Some of these three star dudes, these
high three star dudes, we probably just offered them more
than other good programs. But this kid was probably offered
(20:56):
a lot of money by everybody. Yeah for sure, right this,
when you get to the top level kids, to some extent,
money is not even the reason. Basketball might be a
little different, but in football, all these programs would have
offered him a lot of money, which means he picked
Kentucky because he wanted to come or wanted to come here.
I'm going to assume he's gonna come until he does.
Speaker 7 (21:18):
Yeah, he had several offers, but the main three that
Kentucky beat out in the end were Oregon and Alabama.
I think we're all pretty aware of how I heard
of them, how they do art and football in Arkansas
was the other school SEC football but also just nearly
won the College World Series. He was really considering them
for baseball too, So in both sports you beat out
some of the top programs that are in the country.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
It's a huge, successful thing. And I would just say
I looked at the comments when I posted it. Most
were positive, but there were some oh last four eight
thirty nine. Okay, fine, there's gonna be plenty of time
for that. But take just a minute to be happy, right,
same thing happened at the end of cal There's a
(22:00):
group of people that wanted cow gone for so much
that they couldn't even root the successes on. You gotta
root the successes on and then at the end of
the year you evaluate where you are. But you got
to take a moment to enjoy the successes. If you
don't enjoy the successes, why are you even a fan?
Why are you even a fan? I mean, if we
beat old miss are you're gonna go five o night, Like,
(22:22):
just take a minute and be happy. There are gonna
be plenty of time probably to be sad.
Speaker 6 (22:28):
I think it shows too they can get big time
kids without vents.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Yes, that's another thing you can get. This is a
big time kid from Ohio that you did not get
with it.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
I think that's big.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
That is big. I didn't even think about the Ohio part.
That's big. Yeah, that is big.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
Also, a lot of The criticism is, you know, stoops
work ethic. Are they recruiting well over there? And you
can't still talk trash a little bit when they go
out and get a commitment like this shows they are
doing something.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
He stopped loving her today. Oh yeah, my mom suggests
that's a good one.
Speaker 14 (23:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
I still feel like tell Laurie I love her. Sadder,
but that's a good call from my mom. Be right back.
Speaker 10 (23:07):
T J.
Speaker 8 (23:08):
Smith, personal injury attorney, called TJ. He'll make them pay.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
See. I think it's the fact that it's like, I
think the fact that's on like a tape recorder makes
it sadder. Yeah, you know what I mean. It's not
produced at all.
Speaker 8 (23:35):
It's kind of gently plucking those streams.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
Yeah, and it feels like he's just sitting there being
sad and and like just the words where he says,
tell Laurie, I love her, Tell Laurie, I need her.
What's it? It's like, tell Laurie I give anything I
do just to see her. Oh this one. See that's
(24:11):
that's haunting right there is because it's like I'm in
a terrible place and if I could just see her,
So I so what it's all background to say, Shannon,
it's so weird to then think there's a tent on
a beach.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Yeah, I know somebody pointed out that it was I
guess the anniversary of his death.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
So maybe she was the tent out for that.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
I guess everybody's got a different way of grieving.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
So yeah, I mean that's true. You don't want to
judge people's I.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Ask you a question for you to switch subjects.
Speaker 6 (24:41):
The Keith Whitley Museum like was in like where that
Carter County they caught on fire or something.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Did they ever rebuild it.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
Or they was in It's Elliott County?
Speaker 12 (24:48):
Right?
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Is it Elliott County?
Speaker 5 (24:49):
Okause he didn't. He live in Sandy Hook where rockets
from Sandy Hook.
Speaker 6 (24:53):
And remember that museum we stopped in we were over there.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
Well, it wasn't a museum. It was a restaurant.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
Yes, remember it was like a museum.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
It was. It was literally like a Hamburger place. They
just had a lot of pictures of him. You're I
love Keith Whitley. I love that Hamburger place. But you're
being very generous and calling it a museum. It was
like a steak shack.
Speaker 6 (25:13):
Yeah, but it's part museum for him. I wonder whatever happened. Everything,
It was just pictures of him. It wasn't like it
wasn't a it was it was picture. They probably have
other cop uh Tears in Heaven sad song, Yeah, a
(25:36):
Warren z Von That's a great one, Shannon, keep Me
in your Heart. He sang that right before he died
of cancer, and it was basically like, uh, I know
I'm about to die, Please just remember I'm here.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
You should see. He sang that on David Letterman like
a month before he died, because he was like David
Letterman's favorite artist. And it's brutally sad. I'm not trying
to bring the mood down.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Everything songs today, That's what I'm playing. The sad.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
Yeah, So let's let's uh, let's talk for the donuts
just second before I go to the phone. Tends a
lot your Your girlfriend's trying to talk to you out
of it.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Yoga girl is begging me.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
She doesn't do not do it, and she if I
do it, she goes make sure there's somebody there with
the insulin standing by.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
Okay, I'll get the insulin all you know you don't
have diabetes.
Speaker 8 (26:26):
No, you will after this though on Friday.
Speaker 7 (26:29):
I mean you also can't get in the pool for
thirty minutes after you that's true.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
You can't make sure you can't get we don't want
to cramps? Is that true? By the way, people their
whole lives is that? Is that? Is that a thing?
Speaker 6 (26:41):
I think it's an old wives tale, I really do.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
Who came up with it?
Speaker 4 (26:44):
I no wife?
Speaker 6 (26:45):
Yeah, an old grandma you've always just dated you get
stand of the pool for thirty.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
Minutes, no cramps. Well, I'm excited for you to do it.
I think timing wise is not an issue. You have
enough time. You don't need to scarf it down. The
question just is can you physically do it? Like you
don't need the Joey chestnut and just you. The question
is just can you physically hold that amount of food?
Speaker 2 (27:10):
I'm gonna say the answer is gonna be a big
fat no.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
Well no, you have to go into the mindset that
you can do. Okay, you can if you go in
like if if you if your mind tells you you can't,
then you can.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
So I have to believe I can do it.
Speaker 8 (27:22):
You like these big ice coffees in the morning.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
What would make you to where you would feel more motivated?
If I gave you a financial reward? What if Mark
Stoops were there? What if I said, what if I
gave you? What if I say I'll give you two
hundred dollars if you do Oh.
Speaker 8 (27:42):
What about a per donut?
Speaker 5 (27:44):
No, I'm not doing that. That's two thousand dollars. But
what about if I said, you get two hundred dollars
if you do it.
Speaker 6 (27:51):
I think I'll be as wiped out as Shannon was
on his walk and you gave him five thousand dollars.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
Well, but I have a sponor I don't have a
do If Joffs Donuts wants to sponsor trying to.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Compare eating ten donuts to walking fifty miles, don't even
even start with me.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
If Jeff's Donuts wants to give us a grand to
do it, but I personally will give you two hundred
dollars if you do it.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
I will give it my best shots.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
You don't seem like are you rich now? You don't
need two hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
I absolutely need two hundred dollars Are you kidding?
Speaker 8 (28:19):
Or buy a lot of Jeff's donuts.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
That would be your classic ride thing. He did it,
got the two hundred dollars and wouldn't bought more donuts.
Let's go to John. Go ahead, John, John, go ahead?
Speaker 13 (28:33):
Yeah, Hello man, can you hear me?
Speaker 5 (28:35):
Yes? Go ahead?
Speaker 13 (28:37):
Okay, Oh yeah, hello? Is your renovation is gonna lie?
It's we are.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
We're scheduled right now to open. We're looking at August
the twenty sixth, that week, but we're gonna do some
special things leading up to it, including some stuff for fans. Actually,
I'll probably announce some of that early later later this week,
like some early openings for people who listen to the show.
Speaker 13 (29:04):
Okay, all right, the other quarterback slash Baseball Superstars A
good pickups for football team and.
Speaker 5 (29:12):
Well, yes, I mean I don't know how long I
appreciate the call. It's at least probably. I mean, when
does he play two three years from now? I mean
it's gonna be a while, insentially enough. It also says
for a quarterback, you don't commit unless you think Mark
Stoops that Bush Hampton's gonna be here, And that's a
long time to wait.
Speaker 7 (29:28):
Yeah, it shows that they really are trying to turn
things around there also, not just with him, but I
think he said it too. A lot of these guys
have committed and there's been feels like fifteen in the
last month. They all talk about the culture at Kentucky
and how it stood out. I don't know if that's
a message that they're intentionally telling them to work into
their comments, or if they're really seeing something behind closed
doors that looks makes the operation look a lot better
(29:49):
than it's been.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
Yeah, I have one person right say they might chip
in another one hundred dollars. Oh my, now you're up
to three.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
It's getting more enticing.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
No, no, you're doing this is not that. This isn't
to talk you into it. You're just getting offered rewards.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Eat eat eat donuts like you're do that.
Speaker 5 (30:09):
I've already said, yes you can.
Speaker 6 (30:10):
I'm doing it. I'm going for it. I just I
need to get motivated to do ten.
Speaker 5 (30:14):
So if you were hungry you said you could do ten.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Yeah, I was exaggerating. I'm sure a little bit.
Speaker 7 (30:20):
When you go to Jeff's. Because you go to Jeffs,
you do like two three. How many are you eating
a normal sitting one.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
Come on, now, you just gotta do nine more. It's
nine more in ten minutes. I've watched you on the show.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
You eat one like a week ago before we left,
when they brought him out.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
You've eat That's true. We had some at the standard
brag track there Wednesday.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
So you've just wanted you basically eat two every Friday.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Yeah, but now I got to figure in it.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
Eight more, Jerry, go ahead, Jerry, Matt Yes, talk Jerry.
Speaker 15 (30:56):
Hey, al right, sorry Matt, Hey, uh I. I'm excited
to see this quarterback come here. I just run over
the years of these recruits the way they can.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
But why do you have to do the butt? I'm
being dead serious when it's negative, Jerry, you are always
adamant to be negative. You're always quick to say things
are bad. You're always quick to, like if we lose
a game, call and blast them. And I'm fine with that, Like,
I know that when Jerry's on there'll be some negativity,
(31:25):
and I'm cool with that. But when something positive happens,
why is your initial inclination within one and a half
seconds to say butt and then something negative. Why can't
you just take a minute to say you've talked about
culture on this show a lot. This is a good sign.
Speaker 15 (31:43):
Well, well i'll put it when I saw it. He
signed yesterday. I wasn't pulled up the two fifty rankings
for classes for that for next year, with all these
guys that they've had.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
Commitments, I'll just say this.
Speaker 13 (31:57):
Positive hey.
Speaker 15 (32:01):
For him, Yes, but this class is still ain't forty fourth.
Speaker 5 (32:04):
See, I can't do that. You appreciate the call, Jerry.
I can't do this. The class doesn't. It has struggled.
But you get a piece of positive news. And when
you get one piece of positive news and the only
thing you can say is negative news. I don't know
how people can be a fan like that, Shan and
I don't like if everything is negative.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Why do you watch it? Be a fan.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
I can't not take Donald Trump as president. Every day
he drives me crazy. With that said, you do have
to be you do have to say, okay, well the
border crossings are down, the illegal boy give him credit
for that. There's something right like, you have to do that.
I hate when people get so into their frame of
(32:48):
mind that you can't say anything positive. Doesn't mean you
have to like, you can still think Mark Stoops should
be fired. But you can say, well, at least it's
good news. We get this guy. Why can't you do that?
Speaker 10 (33:01):
Did?
Speaker 2 (33:02):
I don't get it either.
Speaker 6 (33:02):
If it's been over this program has been begging for
some good news for over a year.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
You got it, man.
Speaker 6 (33:07):
You got this top notch recruit that most people places
in the country would want to have it.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Kentucky got him.
Speaker 7 (33:12):
I think the answer on the Stoop situation is some
people almost don't want him to have success.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
And when you're in that point, I had this mindset
with cal that last year. When you're in the point
that you're rooting for him to fail so you'll be right,
that's a you problem. Right. If you want to be
right so much that you'll cut your nose off your face,
then that's a U problem. If you hate the president
(33:39):
so much that you want there to be bad news
so they get criticized, that's a you problem, that's not
a them problem. And there are some people like that
with Mark Stoops, and I think you're going in the
wrong direction when you do that. When does the law
familiar game start? Right? April eighteenth, Friday, April eighteenth, That
is not that's a there's not one word there, that's correct,
(34:04):
Friday July Friday, April the eighteenth.
Speaker 6 (34:09):
I can't I know exactly when my mind did that
of it.
Speaker 5 (34:11):
When your mind did it? It did it ten seconds ago?
Speaker 6 (34:14):
Yeah, I'm still on April football. The last time we
had some good news April of last year.
Speaker 5 (34:20):
Bryan. I was hoping Ryan would like a contribute, and
Friday April the eighteenth was not. Lave Familia starts Friday
July eighteenth, but Thursday, July the seventeenth is a public
bourbon bottle signing Bespoken Spirits at gray Line. All four
Club Blue bourbon bottles will be ready for purchase and
the players will be there to sign. That includes the
(34:43):
Harrison Twins, Archie Goodwin, Annsley, Almanor, de Ron Lamb, Willie
Caldy signed DeAndre Liggins. About this, said Keith Whitley Khalil Whitney.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
The heck of a get they.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
Get Friday July the eighteenth, or excuse me, Thursday July seventeenth,
the night before the first game at gray Line Station
in Lexington. Come get Club Club Blue bourbon bottles and
get them signed by the former players. That's a lot
of people to get to be there to meet them.
That is Thursday, July seventeenth at Gray Line at six o'clock.
We'll take a break right back, Chiozar, welcome back, take
(35:19):
any sports radio. I'm not gonna play this song because
it is a bummer, but it's a good one to
listen to if you want. If you're in a bumming mood,
warns zvone, keep me. I'm telling you that's like the
saddest David Letterman appearance.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
You want to be depressed. If you're already depressed, I
want to be more depressed.
Speaker 4 (35:39):
Listen, listen to just play.
Speaker 5 (35:40):
The playlist playlist we picked today the most depressing. What person,
writes Matt Jerry would be the kind of person who
would win the power ball and then complain about the taxes. Yes,
that's a good example. That's a perfect example. That's exactly
what he would do.
Speaker 7 (35:57):
It's like when we've had contests in the past for
something free. Oh that day doesn't work out, that's too
far to drive.
Speaker 5 (36:03):
You win it. You went in the war, You win
a thing, and then you go. I mean where the
seats at? When people do wear the seats.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
I always have the same answer facing the stage, where.
Speaker 5 (36:14):
The seats at Yeah, people, your Reds tickets? Where are they?
You mean the free ones?
Speaker 8 (36:22):
That's a day game though I can't do day games.
Speaker 5 (36:25):
That's yeah, So Marcia she Marcia was at the show
on Friday. Marcia said, Hey, I'm gonna go to the
Reds game Monday. Are you gonna be there? And I said,
you know, I'm not sure, but if I don't go,
you can have my So she wasn't even asking, she
was just gonna say that. She would say, Hi, So
I've decided to go tonight. So I text she. I
(36:47):
text her and said, Okay, I've decided to go Monday,
but if you want, you could have Wednesdays. She said, Oh,
I would love it. That's like, that's that's the attitude day,
that's the attitude d They're free yeah, right and marsh
of all people, that's right. All right, we got a
bunch of people out here. I want to give him
a chance. So this, let's put the thirty second shot
clock on. All right, ready, Shannon Gary in Orlando, go.
Speaker 16 (37:10):
Well, get after good morning, guys.
Speaker 13 (37:11):
Two quick stories.
Speaker 16 (37:14):
Years ago, all right, Mower High School years ago had
Gary Faust as a coach. They contacted a friend of
mine who was an assistant at a small school in
Kentuckians had come up and look at these kids. So
he goes up and watch them play this game. And
the kids never gotten the game. And he went to
Foust after the game and he said, hey, man, he said,
I came up here and the kids ever even got
(37:35):
on the field. He said, I said they were good
enough to play for you.
Speaker 5 (37:41):
Do you feel it coming felt back? He was coming
through one story, Shandon. I mean, I knew guys in
thirty seconds, so you get two stories? Didn't you get
him through one? And I don't even know the ending
of that one? And most people listen don't even know
who Gary Faust is.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Now, I want to know who the two kids were.
Speaker 5 (37:58):
Did they get the coach noted Sime. Alright, you can't
be greg thirty seconds go.
Speaker 10 (38:09):
All right, we got to focus on this athleticism for
mister Ryan Lemon.
Speaker 14 (38:12):
He can do it.
Speaker 10 (38:13):
He can do the donut challenge, but he's got a practice.
That's the secret of Joey Chestnut. He does practice. Okay,
you gotta we gotta work with Jeff. We gotta get
you a dozen a day, buddy. You gotta start taking
down a real quick, real quick assists. I got, I
got ten seconds left? Go what you got to say?
Speaker 12 (38:30):
Sam?
Speaker 5 (38:32):
Cat do cats? There you go? Appreciates calling all right,
even gets to go. Do you do need to practice
like do throat exercises?
Speaker 6 (38:45):
My dad even sent me a text, not a smart
idea Ryan smartest.
Speaker 8 (38:52):
I can hear it in his voice too, right, yeah, smartest?
Speaker 5 (38:56):
Thirty seconds, Mike, Mike.
Speaker 14 (39:02):
Matt, listen, hello, go back. Can you hear me?
Speaker 4 (39:08):
Twenty twenty seconds?
Speaker 14 (39:10):
Oh okay, so listen.
Speaker 17 (39:12):
I haven't on good authority. You've been given Rich Barnhard
a lot of credit for being forward thinking, which is good.
But I haven't on good authority of a certain high
networth individual that might be an NBA owner came to
the Kentucky Football Association Athletic Association and offered to give
him a lot of money.
Speaker 5 (39:31):
I wish to again, I would wonder, I wonder where
that was going on. Yes, that would have start, that
would have I'd actually wonder what you say, who could
be a net owner that would want to give UK
athletics money? Do we have any UK people who own
a team? Not owners?
Speaker 8 (39:49):
That's coming to mind.
Speaker 5 (39:51):
I can't think of who that would.
Speaker 8 (39:52):
Be put them back on it.
Speaker 5 (39:54):
It was intriguing. Listen, I gave him thirty s. That
was intriguing, though, Mark thirty seconds.
Speaker 9 (40:00):
Ryan, just take the donuts to put him in two
stacks to five, flatten them with your hand.
Speaker 5 (40:05):
Be done. Okay, First, I don't like your little You
don't need to practice. You don't need to practice. All right, well,
I mean listen, that would be I appreciate the call.
That is, I guess, a good piece of advice. It's
kind of gross, but all right.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
I like that idea. Though, mash them together.
Speaker 5 (40:25):
You're doing it either way. Okay. By the way, if
you mash them two hundred dollars off the table, please
go ahead.
Speaker 9 (40:32):
Hey, I hate the Vince left. I don't think it's
the end of the world. I think with the transfer
portal is more important. Plus, if I believe what I read,
I would want to be choosing my own wide receivers.
If I'm the receivers coach or running backs coach, I
wouldn't want Vince telling me here's the kid, you make
it work. So I don't think it's that big a deal.
I think we're gonna have a decent season.
Speaker 5 (40:55):
I understand that viewpoint. I actually don't think I appreciate
the call. I don't think that's a crazy viewpoint, especially
the portal art. I think the portal's gonna become even
more important. It already is even more important than high
school recruiting. A right, Jay Rock thirty seconds?
Speaker 12 (41:08):
Hello, Hello, Yes, hein Matthew, Matthew that hey, hey man,
