This is Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now
here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Well, welcome everyone, Kentucky Sports Radio, Monday, August the fourth.
I'm Matt Jones. On a nice day weather, it's calmed
down in Kentucky. And you can give shown the Clarks
Puppy Shop phone line. That's eight five to nine two
eight oh twenty two eighty seven a vision Auto glass
text machine seven seven two seven seven four five two
five four. In this ditition sponsored by the TJ. Smith Low,
(00:56):
it's called Tj'll Make Them Pay. We are about four
weeks away from the first NFL kickof or excuse me,
college football kickoff three weeks away from our reopening of
ks Bar, and that those are the two most important
days the football season. I guess threw twenty six days away.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
Twenty six days almost here. I had a good time
watching them this weekend with the excitement, and to say
it's less than four weeks away talking seasons almost over.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Yeah, less than three weeks away from the first games.
There are games that weekend by twenty third Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:31):
Yeah, DRIs.
Speaker 7 (01:31):
There was a good crowd there for the open practice,
so maybe people are starting to get excited about their day.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
I went to fan day because it was a day
and I am a fan. Perfect weather, I gotta say,
absolutely perfect after it had been one hundred and ten
and Lexington for a week, and I was pretty surprised
by the turnout.
Speaker 6 (01:46):
Good.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
I really think they got probably even better than they
expected to be honest. They had a good crowd of
fans there to watch the team do their their usual
open practice.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
That's good to hear. I guess I kind of thought
that would not be the case. So I'm glad that
I'm I'm glad it is. Maybe there's getting some excitement.
So two things I want to lead off with. One
is is all the football stuff from Friday, but we
have to start with what happened in Bristol.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
So I was I was gonna go.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
How happy are you?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
I was gonna go until Thursday night I started to
think I'm not gonna go, But even Friday I was like,
you know, if I get a hankering, and then I
decided not to.
Speaker 6 (02:25):
I had the best decision.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
I hate it because it looks like what a debacle
in Bristol. Now, A lot of it is not anybody's fault.
It didn't rain all day. It started raining forty minutes
before the game, capt raining and then stopped once everybody
got out of it.
Speaker 6 (02:44):
It literally rained for five hours, and it was the
five hours that they wanted to play baseball game. So
to some extent, what are you.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Gonna don't can't change mother Nator, But.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
Everything else seems like a disaster.
Speaker 7 (02:55):
Ran out of food, ran out of hot dogs and buns.
They're serving hot dogs but no buns.
Speaker 6 (03:00):
Yeah, I mean no, just straight winger. That was all
you got. Nachos, no cheese, You just got the chips.
They had nachos, no cheese.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Here's a big thing of to They ran out on
half the half the facility. They ran out of soda,
so you had two choices for drinks, Shannon water or tequila.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I'm going tequila on that.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Water or tequila. Then you know, apparently long lines to
get in. They only had four food trucks open outside
of the place, so like they were apparently out the door,
so it was just a cluster. Ry McGee was on
ESPN with me. He said, the problem was major League
Baseball ran the logistics. They didn't let Bristol Motor Speedway,
(03:42):
who's used to it.
Speaker 6 (03:43):
That's just stupid. That's just stupid.
Speaker 8 (03:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
I mean, you an that knows how to do it,
and you don't let them run it. That's just stupid. Now,
a lot of stuff look cool. The track there looked cool. Yeah, right.
I think they did an amazing job with the field,
all these people in the crowd, it was gonna be awesome.
But then you just saw, okay, it just keeps me
lingering and lingering. And then they were like, clearly we
(04:07):
want to try to start it, and just a debacle.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
Plate don't even get through one inning.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Didn't finish the first thing.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
They didn't even get through one inning.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
There are lakes in the middle of the infield, the
Rads start their starting pitcher and end up burning him
because he can't pitch.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
After one inning, he comes.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Out, and so then the Reds, and if the thing
was an important game for the Reds they needed to win,
end up losing.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
The next day.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
I kept getting messages all night from listeners who were there,
and all they kept saying to me, Shannon was you
would hate this more than anyone on earth would hate this.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
I can't imagine being stuck there with ninety thousand people,
rain pouring down, poor, not enough shuttles to get people
in and out of there. It sounded like an absolute.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Lines lines everybody. You know how much I hate lines traffic.
There were apparently people still trying to drive out at
three in the morning. Oh this is what you get
when you go to a place and you don't listen
to people that are.
Speaker 6 (05:02):
There, right, Yeah, yeah, that's what you need to do.
I've learned that with OVW.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
When we would go to small towns that first year
that I was running OVW, I'd go, well, we need
to do this, we need that, And then sometimes people
would say, well, you know here in in Etown, this
is how we do things and I was like, wow,
what is Etown though? But then by year two I
learned what Etown tell you what to do in Etown?
Speaker 6 (05:27):
Right, they should have done the same thing. So I
was so disappointed.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
I was disappointed because I wanted the world to get
I wanted it, like for LA to get the attention.
I mean, it was our teams, right, that was gonna
be good, and it just ended up that it really was.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
I was so excited.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
It's the first full baseball game I've watched in or
non playoff game. And I don't know how long I
don't sit around and watch full baseball. You did watch
it Sunday pregame started at six thirty. I was on
my couch at six with the TV on front. But yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's Sunday one. I got to watch it all, gotcha.
I'm because I'm weird. I kind of wanted to be
there Saturday night. That's my kind of event. Like now,
(06:06):
I would have been camping. I would not have been
in I wouldn't have been driving anywhere for one, but
I would have been out there having a blast.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
During the delay.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
But watching from home just utter chaos, and and John
Smoltz and the crew. All that had to have been awful,
which is hours of live.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
They basically just had to to Ryan just like talk
for four hours. And clearly my question is did baseball
have a backup player or they just not?
Speaker 6 (06:34):
I mean, I know there's only so much you can do.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
You can't just build a roof, but they should have
probably called the game early in the night, yeah right,
and then said all right, we're all gonna come back tomorrow,
let's try this again. Or they could have said, well, well,
you know, throw the first pitch at midnight. You know,
I knew it. Here's what I knew it was gonna
be bad. Shitting Terry Francona. I saw that they should
have showed an interview at like four point thirty and
(06:59):
he was like, they're you excited about this?
Speaker 6 (07:01):
And he goes, well, you know.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
This is good for baseball and so we're gonna work
through this. And that's when I thought this is he
kind of knew disaster is coming and you could see it.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
I don't understand anybody could check a radar, would know
what's going to happen. And I don't understand why they
started the game when, like you said, there are pins
of water out there on the end.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
I mean it was when they played that first ding,
it was pouring. I don't understand.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
I'm not a meteorologist, but at about two o'clock I
pulled out my phone and I can see radar on
my phone. I even said, there's no way they're getting
this in. You could see it heading for Bristol, a
big blob. You can even like follow the clock to
what it'll be. I wondered why they didn't try to
move it up.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
Is pitball? That pit bull that important?
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Because it was obvious to anyone that can look at
a radar that they weren't playing.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
Baseball that night.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
See bring Tim McGraw. Think of all the choices of
the music you could use with Tim McGrath. Yes, I mean,
let's just name Indian Outlaw, where the green grass grow,
Don't take the Girl, don't take the girl, whatever, Barbecue,
staying on my way up, t shirt yeah, something like that,
all these songs they get him out there where they
sing truck Yeah, that's.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
Chick.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
Yeah, I hate.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
That song was such a passion and that was the
Tim McGraw song they decided, you know, ozimpic New rimmed Tim.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
They get him out there. Chi, Yeah, I hate.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
That song so much, And then that's the one they
choose to play.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
I like it, I love it. Yeah, another one, and
he looked like Pitbull a little bit. See does he
have Pipple's haircut now?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
And even mentions a Braves game in that song.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
I like it.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
I ain't seen a Braves game.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
Would you not put that in there?
Speaker 4 (08:54):
I mean?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Hell?
Speaker 6 (08:56):
And then they and then you know, as.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Soon as they put Pitball out, put Bull out, that's
when the rain started. Did you notice it was in
the middle of the Pitbull concert. It was like the
Lord was telling us something. Get the three one one
or whatever his name mean, mister three five, three oh.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
Five, get the Why is he here? Fireball?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I hate it for Bristol owner speed Leg.
Speaker 7 (09:22):
That could have been an opportunity to have his awesome
NYE ever dowesome event.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Now they may never do it again.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
We're going to do it again, right like they this
was they were, They tried and then they're never gonna
do it again.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
And so much of it before it went absolutely chaotic
with the delay, just the jerseys, with the NASCAR numbers,
the cars, the Braves, mascot, blooper, who's hilarious in itself,
just him doing all the stuff around the track.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
They were driving them around in the cars and then
it started. You know, they're all getting dredged and having
to act like they're enjoyed. Can you imagine how heavy
those uniform forms were. And then when the Braves guy
hit a home run to have the race car come
out the home run call, that was cool, but you
just can't do anything.
Speaker 9 (10:04):
Now.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
Did you see the old man trying to throw the
ball over the fence? No, I didn't see that. This
is a great moment.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
This was clearly like a Ryan Lemon person who thinks
he's still an athlete, but tim is. A baseball goes
up on the track and someone in the crowd is
saying tarl it and this old man is like okay,
and you can hear the announcers go he's not gonna
be able to get that. There's no way. And this
(10:34):
old man goes and he throws it like twenty feet,
doesn't even get it to the fence.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
I think about how high that fence.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Is at Bristol because they don't want cars going into
the thing.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
That's a good video if you see it, the old
man trying to throw a ball over.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
I like that when the players there's a video when
they first come out and see that video board, they're
just shocked, like are we gonna hit that thing? And
end up being in foul territory a little bit, But
that huge scoreboard hanging over there was pretty unique.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Shadowed a little bit, Shannon, But I don't know if
you noticed when the game started how dark it was.
Oh yeah, because in the pregame, Jeter Ortiz and a
Rod We're kind of like, clearly they're there. They want
to hype it up, but you could tell that they
were like.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Hey, folks, there's a little bit of work here. There
ain't a lot like the entire season to prepare for
this exactly.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
I and they literally said they were like you could
hear I think it was, uh a Rod going one
of the.
Speaker 6 (11:33):
Things to watch. The lights are pretty far.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Away from the field and it might be hard for
people to see the ball.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
You would have thought this was a pop up game.
They had just playned the day before. Everything went down.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
It it's crat I hated because I was so excited, man,
and it just it just didn't work.
Speaker 7 (11:52):
The football game they had there was a huge success
you know, everybody loved that.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
I was hoping the same would be for baseball.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
Matt, could you say that that baseball game was ridiculous?
Speaker 6 (11:59):
As we tweeted it was.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
That SHANEA and I did the same within like sight seconds.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
I thought you guys were hanging out or something.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
Maybe we were. It looked like we were like, let's
be tweeted, buddy.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
It looked like when someone runs multiple accounts and it
kind of puts them off.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Looks well, they didn't worry. And now the summer of
Ally is. I mean, it's not over, but it's pretty close.
I mean, that was a big one. We're now four
back in the wild Card. We have the hardest schedule
coming in. The Padres have one of the easiest schedules
coming in. You know, I'm going to Pittsburgh this weekend
to watch the series, and it might be my goodbye
(12:41):
for the week for the year, just because like I
can't keep doing this. I've been you know, this has
been I've enjoyed it. I've had more fun watching baseball
this year. But you know, I got to start getting
into football gear and I feel like the summer of Valley.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
The Reds have hung in there a lot longer than
most people today.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Got rid of Connor Joe finally, so that was nice
of him, But it's probably it's probably over, and I've.
Speaker 6 (13:06):
Enjoyed him and a lot most of these guys will
be back next year.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Like I like this team outside of a couple people,
But I think I think the Braves ended the Summer Villey,
which makes me sad.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Shannon, do we feel guilty about putting the nail on
the coffin?
Speaker 3 (13:19):
No, absolutely not. This is our super Bowl. We got
nothing else to play roll this year.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
Yeah, that's true. You didn't we.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Get the Bristol Cup or whatever that thing was.
Speaker 6 (13:27):
They gave a cup trophy?
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yeah for Eli White?
Speaker 6 (13:31):
No, well that's nice. Yeah that that dude?
Speaker 10 (13:33):
Who is that guy who just hurt?
Speaker 6 (13:37):
They discreamed some random guy up? He hits fifteen home runs?
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Yeah, some random guy third looking like Brooks Robinson out
there stopping every line drive.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Eli White had four home runs on the season. He
had two in that game. And then it's too our pitcher.
Did you see his story? He wasn't even in Bristol
on Sunday. They picked a car at five fifteen am
and drove him to Bristol.
Speaker 6 (13:58):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Did sixty miles that morning from from Georgia to get there.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
So he got called up to play that game. And
his name's Waldrip, kind of like Waldrip perfect see.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
Stupid Waldrop ended the summer of Eli.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Yeah, it was a FUNDI I'm gonna say, I can't
be to I enjoyed the summer. This was the most
I've enjoyed baseball since Dale Murphy played. So I do
uh I did worth it?
Speaker 8 (14:22):
Then?
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Yes, A five nine two oh twenty two eighty seven
text machine is seven seven two seven seven four five
two five four. We'll talk a little UK football and
then you know, there's a lot of random stuff coming on,
including the long johns CEO replies to Kentucky Sports Radio,
have you seen this? Long? John CEO gets on linked
In and talks about KSR.
Speaker 6 (14:44):
Really, we'll be right back KSR truck.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Yeah, that's what they decided to play. Instead Apparently they
play like they played this in the background during the intros,
but in his concert he played truck.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Yeah, that's what I would think this would be the
one that it should have been anything else, anything.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
He's Tim McGraw, he's got like a million songs.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
I guess they're trying to appeal to the NASCAR.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Here's the thing. I said this on ESPN. When a
country singer decides that the way to have a hit
song is to rhyme a word with a cuss word
without saying it, then they're washed up. Here's the other way.
When they have a song and they use a double
entaundra for bud like badonka, don't that means your time
(15:31):
is passion?
Speaker 6 (15:32):
And then you're like, I gotta have a gimmick song.
Speaker 9 (15:34):
Kind of with you on that, Like once you start
doing that badonka donk and uh, he ain't worth a
shift and stuff like that, Yeah it shift.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
He ain't worth a shift.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Like you just go, okay, dude, it's time for you
to go to renfro Verralley do the Old person tour.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
You go from like a great song, every light in
the house is on to honky tonk, badonka don.
Speaker 6 (16:03):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Cody says, I was there, and I can confirm they
were selling nachos with no cheese for five dollars. Then
they ran out of the chips, but the other booth
still had cheese, so you could buy cheese for three
dollars with no chips.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Oh my goodness, they just drink that. Wow, straw.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
Laur are you supposed to do it?
Speaker 4 (16:28):
But you might get to a point where you're like,
I just take a big bowl of cheese.
Speaker 6 (16:32):
I mean dip your bunglass hot dog in it. I
don't know. It's true. You could buy the wiener and
the cheese and dip and you got to go.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
To pictures of the concourse.
Speaker 7 (16:40):
People are just packed in there like sardines, and the
are wet and they probably smell and they steak.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Oh, I'm so glad. So before we go the phones
UK football we went to media day. I thought it
was one of our most successful ones. Yet I'm not
sure if that's gonna equate to winning, you know. Mitch
Barnhardt's interview was great, had a lot of new who's
in it? Mark's interview was really good. I thought the
players were good. Chiaj Pete's interview. Mario put like a
(17:09):
three minute clip of it on TikTok. It now has
six hundred and twenty thousand views. At this point, it
is our third biggest video ever behind Bronni James and
us making fun of Louisville's uniforms for being wrinkled during
that team picture. This kid got it got like picked
up by like Navajo Nation. Go read the comments on
(17:34):
that TikTok. It's KSR the show TikTok. Go read the comments.
It's all Navajos from Navajo Nation going, I love this guy.
Where can I get a Kentucky jers like I Now
I'm on the Navajo algorithm because of this, because of
how much everybody liked that kid. When have we ever
(17:55):
had a situation where the offensive lineman Ryne might be
the most popular place on the team.
Speaker 7 (18:01):
And he proved it on the show there because that's
what everybody was talking about this weekend was his interview
with us. He just so genuine and sincere, and you
just left liking the guy as a person, not as
a player, but as a person.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
And on TikTok just so you know, like when you
see Twitter like views and stuff, that's nonsense, like they
just those numbers are made up, like Twitter views and videos.
But the TikTok stuff, I actually think is pretty real.
You can and and six hundred thousand is a massive
number for one of our videos.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
So like this kid, you know, it's interesting. He's gonna have.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
A huge platform and he's so soft spoken and all that,
but still kind of has that way about him.
Speaker 6 (18:40):
Yeah, we have.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
It crossed many college football players, if any that are
like him. My favorite part was when he talked about
just how grateful he is and he cherishes every moment,
and he said, I'm even cherishing this right now with
your He made a point to like say our names.
It's like this guy really, it's not just him saying
it doing the media speak. He really appreciates everything that's
been put in front of him.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
So you watched him play. I did watch him twice.
I got two days. So what do you feel now
you've actually seen them?
Speaker 5 (19:07):
Not just haven't I haven't take away I'm afraid to
say in the radio because I there will be an
overreaction and I don't want to be responsible for It's
the video of going.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
It's not crazy to say they could go to the
play that's still out there, So that's.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Not that's not my overreaction. However, I've said this to
many people. I wrote on our website Friday, at least
on Friday, if I were just an alien anybody, I
don't know anything about Kentucky Football's roster. I don't know
the people. You just dropped me in the on that
field and I was watching football. Cutter Bowdi was the
better quarterback. Now that was only on one day. The
(19:43):
one day said this one sample size, Kalsada is going
to be the starter. I'm not trying to put a
competition here, but the gap between one and two is
not big at all. Now only was with the two,
so he has a little bit of an advantage. He's
going against second string. I'm not trying to bench Kalsada.
Please don't say out there Drew saying Bowlie is the starter,
but Cutter, Cutter, Bowlie is a very good backup, and didn't.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
He didn't shake next year, he didn't shake Drew's hand
when because there was a disrespect. I may have called Nick,
but not to his face. But before he got there
both days, Bowie looked awesome.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
So, uh, what do you what have you been here?
What'd you think?
Speaker 8 (20:21):
Well?
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Drew and I talked about this on the right over here.
I was told Bowdi will be the starter by the
end of the season.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
By who When you say that, though, like I mean
without the name, Like, what kind of person we talking.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
No, it's football.
Speaker 6 (20:34):
Well that could be that could be anybody, but all right,
a football note.
Speaker 8 (20:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
You know, we talked about this a couple of months ago,
and we talked about Cutter Bowlie and I said, man,
he's gonna play. They're gonna put a package for him.
I think he's going on the field early and just
kind of get him ready just in case they have
to make a move.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Move Aside from the quarterback, did you think it looked
like a team that's more competitive.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
I'm pretty confident they're going to be much better than
last year. I don't know what that means for the record,
because it's still the outrageous schedule we all know, but
I will be shocked if we're not impressed with some improvements,
several positions, and overall a better product. Even you know,
culture has been the big thing. You could even see
it in practice. They're all listening, nobody's goofing off, even
players are holding each other accountable. They looked like an
(21:17):
operation that's together and wants to go win some games.
But talent wise, in that schedule in front of them,
I don't know what that means overall, but I am
almost certain that they're gonna better than a year ago.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
You could definitely taill, definitely even just sitting there during the.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
Media day that the culture is better than it was.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
I mean, I was not at media day last year,
so I do have to say, like, you got to
consider that, but there is no doubt that when you
were around anything football in the last two years, it
felt it's sort of like when you go into a
city or a town and it's like dirty and you
just go, you know, what's happening at this place. It's
(21:55):
very rare if you think about it, to see a
town that's flourishing that's also.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
Dirty and with windows broken and stuff.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
This I'm not saying it was dirty, but it just
felt like you could just feel this isn't totally coherent.
People were walking, they were doing other It didn't feel
like that. This felt more like what it was really
in the first six to eight stoop years. Now that's
how it felt in the first couple stoop years, and
we still stunk, but then we got good. Yeah, right,
(22:24):
But it did feel like what they all talked about,
that whole culture thing. I think that's gonna be better.
Whether we win more or not, I don't know. Ryan,
but I do think that's gonna be bad.
Speaker 7 (22:33):
And I felt like that was the old Mark Stoops.
So we had on the show on Friday. He seemed
like the old guy that was kind of back to
business man. He's not messing around anymore, not jerking around.
He's out there to win football games.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
So, and you know, thank you to SHIAJ. Pete for
giving us like we have a new Navajo Nation fan base.
I think Kentucky will too. They should sell his jersey
all absolutely, if you just look at that comment section,
they should sell his jersey. They're a lot lot of
people that would buy it. We'll take your calls right
for this.

The surprise hit movie of the weekend was Nate Excuse Me.
Naked Gun made thirty million dollars, is only projected to
make ten.
Speaker 6 (23:42):
It's gotten amazing.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
Reviews, people saying it's one of the funniest movies that's
come out in the theater in years. This is the
one with Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson. I love the
old Naked Guns in the past. Are you would you lie?
Do you want to see the new Naked Gun? Got
like a ninety five percent on Right and Tomatoes.
Speaker 7 (24:01):
See that's that's in my wheelhouse That night Gun? I
like who he's like this?
Speaker 2 (24:05):
So is neam Nielson supposed to be the son of
Leslie Nielsen.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
I don't know the plot, I.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Believe Yeah.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
I watched Naked Gun one last night to get ready
it tonight. I'm going to watch two and a half
and then thirty three and a third, which is the
third one?
Speaker 6 (24:19):
You think you need to know the other one?
Speaker 5 (24:20):
I had all three of them on VHS, playing them
all the time. I can't wait to see wat Yes,
and the reviews have only made me more excited.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
I had no interest in it, but if it's so good,
like people are talking about how there are theaters where
everyone's cracking up, like it's I like seeing a comedy
where other people are laughing. It just makes the atmosphere fun.
But there aren't many of those anymore that come out
that do well in theaters. Shannon, are you interested in
the new Naked Gun? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (24:46):
I feel like I need to go back and watch
Barbed Wire first to get ready for it borrowed.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Yeah, The Naked Gun also had one of the more
embarrassing moments of my life. When that was a comedy,
Larry and I shared in enjoyment. Larry liked the silliness
and I liked it as a kid, and when I
was in high school.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
I guess I don't know if it was two and
a half or thirty three and a third.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
One of them came out in the theaters and Larry
took me and DJ and that one of the early scenes,
there's like a shadow and then someone something grows on
someone and we'll just leave it at that.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
Do you remember what I'm talking about?
Speaker 4 (25:25):
And that was uncomfortable with Larry sitting there, because you know,
he and I it was. It was uncomfortable, and so
it was hard for me to enjoy the movie because
I was embarrassed in front of him.
Speaker 6 (25:39):
I was like in eighth grade or ninth grade or
something like that. And the trailer looks like they recreate
that scene a little bit.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
Young Drew Franklin was a big fan of Alla Presley.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
I'm not gonna go with Larry. He don't have to
see that one on his own. I think they run
that scene back.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
All right, Well, I remember distinctly, DJ and I've talked
about distinctly sitting in that theater. To be anywhere else
on Earth than in that theater at that moment, I
want to see it, Orvan go ahead Orvan.
Speaker 6 (26:09):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (26:09):
Hi, Matt.
Speaker 11 (26:10):
How was at the game on Saturday?
Speaker 6 (26:13):
Oh you are okay?
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Yes?
Speaker 11 (26:16):
And let's just say it was total chaos. It was
a mess. They ran out of a whole bunch of stuff.
They ran out of merchandise for Atlanta and Cincinnati. They
even ran out of ponchos, which is especial delayed.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
Oh that's terrible. So they ran out of merchandise.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
That would seem like the one thing they would There's
no way they would run out of they still.
Speaker 11 (26:36):
Did exactly exactly what It was a group of six
of us. We flew from Pennsylvania and then we drove
four hours to the game and it was like a
six month trip that we planned about six months ago.
And yeah, it was total chaos.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
And then you still have fun though sometimes sometimes in
a miserable atmosphere like that, if we're with your friends,
you can still make a way to have fun.
Speaker 6 (26:58):
Drew was saying that earlier. Did you have fun still?
Speaker 11 (27:02):
Yeah, because I got enough alcohol in me, So yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
That's what I would think. Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I would have hated it.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
You know.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Part of the problem I appreciate the call is about
moving the game to the next day is they didn't
have anywhere for the teams to stay, which you would
think in twenty twenty five would not be a problem,
but because both teams had planned on flying home after
the game, and because Bristol's a small place with not
a lot of hotels, they didn't have anywhere for the
teams to stay.
Speaker 6 (27:28):
So what they do I don't know.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
I never heard the Reds and Braves were both gonna
fly home immediately after the game.
Speaker 6 (27:34):
But I don't know what.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Did they just open up people's houses like this was ANAU.
Speaker 10 (27:39):
Tournament, quartering soldiers in quarter braves. Yeah, and they made
you quarter reds. All right, ma'am, Lie de la Cruz
will be in your bedrooms. I'm sorry you're gonna have
to do. I don't know what they ended up doing.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
I don't either.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
I was wondering that during the LA like do they
have plans for this? But I guess it's camping. Maybe
you're just in your RV and get knocking. Here's Ellie
with a little Teddy bear in his blanket, like, hey,
can I get a Can I get a bed in here?
Speaker 6 (28:01):
Yeah? Scoot over, Andrew Abbott is going to be sleeping
here tonight.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Interesting.
Speaker 7 (28:06):
My friend's Bubba that went to the game of his son.
Your friend Bubba Bubba from Kentucky Westling. You have a
friend named Bubba, that's what we call him, Scott Kramer's Bubba.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
Why did you start calling him Bubba?
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Because he looks like a bubba?
Speaker 6 (28:16):
So he's fat?
Speaker 2 (28:18):
No, he's not fat. He looks like a bubba.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
Bubba' they're supposed to be fat, like the cherubic face. Okay,
So that's what I thought. See, so you actually took
a non overweight person named him Bubba to make them
feel bad about themselves.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
It was our first basement. He wasn't overweight, but he went.
He was so miserable.
Speaker 7 (28:38):
They stayed in the night and just got up the
next morning, drove home. They didn't even go to the
game Sunday because it was just such a miserable explore.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
You could see in the crowd there was a lot
of people that had not had not come back. Noah,
go ahead, Noah, Hey, Matt.
Speaker 8 (28:51):
I got a challenge for you.
Speaker 6 (28:52):
Okay, try so.
Speaker 8 (28:54):
So this past season from mark from marko ends with
uh now six senior years since the beginning of John.
Speaker 12 (29:02):
Kyle Perry's era, So sorry from first with job on
all that now sixteen years off. You tell you basketball,
I want you to try to rank EACI or basically
take a tournament style like maybe like the NBA style
of like sixteen teams and rank either in like from
either one to eight on both sides, or like two
sets of one through four, rank each one of the
(29:23):
Kentucky teams and then put it through either a single
one or.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
That would take a long time and people would need
to see the bracket, but I appreciate the call, but
I can't. I'm I'm fine ranking the teams. I mean,
we've done this before. But if you take since cal
got here, what are let's just say the eight best teams.
I'm just gonna go in order. The best team since
cal got here, I don't care what anyone says. Is
the twenty fifteen team. It was better than the twenty
(29:49):
twelve team. I love the twenty twelve team, but the
twenty fifteen team was better. I know they didn't win.
I don't care.
Speaker 6 (29:55):
They were better.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
They were better the twenty fifteen teams first, twenty twelve
a second, twenty ten is third. I feel very confident
those three, to me are on another level than everybody else.
Twenty seventeen for me, is for Fox, Monk and BAM.
I think they're pretty strongly for And then when you
get to fifth, there's a lot of different directions that
(30:17):
you could go. I tend to probably say twenty eleven
is fifth. By the end of the year, I think
that team was kind of rolling, and so for me,
they're fifth and then sixth. Okay, where do you want
to go? I think there's an argument for the COVID
team where the tournament ended, right, would you say? With
quickly and all those guys, I think there's I probably
(30:41):
would end up putting the team that lost in the
Elite eight to Tauburn, the Tyler Hero Keldon Johnson team.
I'm probably gonna put them sixth. Put the COVID team seventh,
and then I put the twenty fourteen team, who I
know they got went on a great run, but that
team struggled a lot of the eighth. Probably put our
(31:01):
team last year ninth. I'd love to put the Oscar
team that lost to Saint Peter's because they were so
good during the regular season.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
Probably put them.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Well, No, I'm gonna put the team that lost in
the Sweet sixteen to Kansas State tenth. Yeah, Oscar team eleventh,
Murray Euless twelfth. Now, who's left thirteen? COVID team, the
one we didn't miss the tournament on Col's last team.
Speaker 6 (31:37):
And who else? What's the other one I'm missing?
Speaker 2 (31:40):
The team that lost to Oakland?
Speaker 6 (31:43):
Was that not the same?
Speaker 2 (31:45):
That's second?
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Oh no, no, the Kansas State second, Kansas State lost team. Yeah, right, Well,
the worst team is the COVID team Yeah, Nerland's is fifteen,
or the Netherlands team with Irland's would have to be fifteenth.
Then I guess you would say the team that lost
to Kansas State, and then the team that lost to
(32:07):
Oakland's probably fourteenth. So there's your sixteenth team.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
That's not a bad ranking though, And I can't believe I.
Speaker 6 (32:12):
Remembered all those teams. But do you like those that list? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (32:15):
And actually yesterday I did a deep dive on the
twenty nineteen lost to Auburn. Kentucky should not have lost
that game. They're five point favorite. Auburn's best players in
the wheelchair. And then we get Virginia versus Texas Tech
in that championship game we were talking about that was
one of Cal's bigger choke jobs.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
You could make an argument that team was better than
the Brandon nineteen. I mean, I think you could make
an argument for that.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
I had forgotten how bad that Auburn loss was. They
had no business losing that game.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
I think that's good.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
I think that's my sixteen in in that order. I
feel very confident about the top three and even number
four being Rox Monk and Bay. Yeah, fIF is where
you can kind of start putting teams where you want,
depend on what you like. I feel pretty good about fifth,
and then I agree that team that lost to Auburn's prices.
Speaker 5 (33:02):
Also watched the Caliperry press conference about the Auburn game.
I regret that that. That just made me mad on it.
It was everybody's fault but his, you know, typical. But
they did play bad, But the press conference didn't make
me feel I don't know why about that was the.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
Game where Jamal Baker was playing well, and then he
fouled on that three, yep, which was a bad play.
But if we took everyone out that fouled on a
three in the col Era, Mario would be the only
person left playing like everyone fouled on threes in the Cow.
And then he didn't put Jamal Baker back in the game.
Speaker 7 (33:31):
Drew and I were sitting right behind the bench and
Cal yelled his assistance, he's done, he's done, no more,
he's done.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
That's the only tournament game I've said, well, that one
in Harrison's three against Louisville Indianapolis the only two times
I've set near Cow.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
But he had been hot, he's hot, and he was
playing pretty good defense.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
In that game is pull in and never put him
back in.
Speaker 6 (33:48):
Yeah, didn't even consider it.
Speaker 4 (33:50):
I mean, he's the same thing to uh, what's his
face in the Kentucky Carolina game in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
Who was it? Because he's it was at Derek will Us.
It might have been Dereck Willis.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
There was somebody somebody that he like, in the first
minute goes, we're not putting. He just got in his
mind sometimes that that dude's out and I'm not playing
him again. And he was like that with Derek Willis
for a lot of his career and then finally Derek's
senior year he started to kind of believe in him
a little bit. He took him a long time to
get there with him.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
It may have been Derek Willis a North Carolina.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
He would take guys that he didn't think were tough.
That was his thing, tough and if he didn't think
you were tough, you were done. Yeah, Marcus Lee dar
for a couple of years, Alex for a.
Speaker 6 (34:36):
Couple of years. Jamal Baker was like that.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
He just had guys in his mind that like, you're
not tough, and if you're not tough, I'm not playing
and some of that I understood, but some of it
I thought was unfair to those guys because he'd make
it to where they didn't didn't have a.
Speaker 5 (34:49):
Chance in the begger game. Uh, ashton Hagen said seven
turnovers quickly in Hero were like four for twenty something,
and Beggar had three minutes, I mean just not even
a chance.
Speaker 6 (34:59):
To go in do something, and he had. I think
he had been really good than not. He'd been good
for a few weeks and he was good in a
few minutes he played. He just committed that.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
One minute, one stupid foul and then that was Uh,
that was it. Eight five nine two eight oh twenty
two eighty seven. We will take a break right back, Caisser,
I mean embarrassing. So it's like literally, I mean, I
I don't support just arresting people for their beliefs.
Speaker 6 (35:21):
But maybe this one was a hit. Now it was
a huge hit, yeah, because people like terrible things.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
That's true. They still play it at a bar. If
people still go crazy for this song.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
Yeah, I mean people like you know, more like what
was a member And I love Toby Keith, but his
red solo cup like the more stupid like there's one
of these that comes out every year, there's one of
these just insanely dumb songs so stupid, Like there's another
(35:53):
one if you have one, I'd like to just read
them and get angry. Seven seven two seven seven four
five two five four. I hate those little gim mickey.
Speaker 6 (36:01):
She thanks my chapter six.
Speaker 13 (36:04):
Like I mean, I mean, just such insanely stupid songs.
Speaker 10 (36:14):
As a society that we're dumb.
Speaker 6 (36:16):
I mean, there's no doubt about it. We're dumb.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
We get like, we get just completely you know, look
at this shiny thing over here.
Speaker 6 (36:24):
Okay, wow, Rednecker than you.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
No.
Speaker 6 (36:27):
I mean I listen. I fall for some of it,
but I do not fall for it.
Speaker 4 (36:32):
On the country music on the opposite side, I drove
to Middlesbrough Friday night and then back Saturday. And on
Saturday I was like, you know what, I haven't listened
to Purgatory by Tyler Childers in a while. That's the
best album of all time in my opinion. I'm gonna
go ahead and say not one bad song. I mean,
I haven't played white I hadn't really listened to White
House Road much. That's even though it's his most popular song.
(36:55):
By Tyler that's an awesome song, especially when you're driving
through Eastern Kentucky car song. You're right, it's like drives.
The beat drives like your car drives. Because he's got
women up and down this creek. You're looking around at
the scene.
Speaker 6 (37:11):
I'm going up and down the creek. You're passing version,
I'm passing all those women, not stopping. That's right. No, no, no,
h Did you see the video, Shannon, I thought of
you because the Saudi Arabian amusement park where the ride
falls down. Oh, yes, I have. Yeah, if you've seen it, Oh,
(37:32):
it's so scared.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Yeah, it could happen anywhere anytime.
Speaker 4 (37:36):
Well, as I saw that video as I was driving
down the road and saw them moving amusement park rides.
As Nate Bargatzi says, I refuse to get on something
that just a few hours before was on the interstate.
And he's exactly right by that. I don't understand how
it's again twenty twenty five. Why are we putting our
kids on the puke machines at County Fair.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
It is a state fair season, so it is.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
But that Saudi Arabian it's awful, like it falls and
it could have been worse, Like, they don't land on
their head.
Speaker 6 (38:07):
What if they had landed on their head, they're dead.
Speaker 4 (38:10):
They're dead. I mean they just kind of land on
their butt. And I saw a few people broke their legs,
But like, it could have been so much worse.
Speaker 6 (38:17):
And it's not just the rids.
Speaker 5 (38:18):
And sorry, I don't mean to call it anyone individually
if you run these rods, but it's either a teenager
that you're putting your child on there with or someone
who you would probably never let babysit your kid.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
Yes, I mean that's that should be your standard. Look
at the person running the rod. Would you leave them
alone with your child for more than five minutes? If
the answer is no, how are you gonna put your
child on a thing that they drove there?
Speaker 6 (38:46):
They Yeah?
Speaker 4 (38:46):
I mean I don't mean that to be rude, but no.
And I never liked them. What were the names of
some of them.
Speaker 6 (38:53):
You had, like the I would get on the gravitron?
Speaker 4 (38:55):
What was the one where they would throw you to
this like you beingler?
Speaker 2 (39:00):
It was a good one.
Speaker 4 (39:01):
Yeah, that was the one everybody always wanted to do.
I'm out and that video just made me more out. Freebird,
Go ahead, free bird.
Speaker 8 (39:10):
Hey guys, I tried and tried to get into you
all last week. I was up in New York City
on a work reward. Went to the Yankees game against
the Rays man at Yankee Stadium. They sell out every
every game.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
And the neighborhood around there, the neighborhood around there, if
you go ever go to a Yankees game, just remember
Uncle Matt said this the food in the neighborhood, like
the block surrounding it.
Speaker 6 (39:36):
Yeah, there's like Jamaican food.
Speaker 4 (39:38):
There's like all this, you know, I'm saying, Mario, there's
all this ethnic food around it. You can get the
best food. And I will say it's the opposite of
the riots. The dirtier it looks, the better it is. Okay,
But the more like the more the worse it looks
on the outside, the better the food actually is on
(39:59):
the inside.
Speaker 6 (40:00):
But go ahead.
Speaker 8 (40:01):
I was just in all I'm sure I know you've
been there, but looking up at the skyscrapers, I just
it's hard for me in my mind to fathom people
standing there and watching those planes go over and hit
those buildings. And we went to the fountains. It's very,
very somber Man. It's it's just, dude, I'm ready to
get your hand.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
I'm totally with you if you stand. I thought it's
interesting you say that free bird. Appreciate the call. If
you stand at the bottom of the highest towers in
New York and you sit there and think what it
had to be looked like on September eleventh, twenty eleven,
to look up and see them on fire or whatever.
(40:42):
I can't even process in my mind what that had
to be because.
Speaker 6 (40:47):
Those buildings are so tall.
Speaker 4 (40:48):
Yeah, and then when you think about it, and this
is not to me the morbid, but when they start.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
Falling, Yes, people jumping out.
Speaker 6 (40:55):
I mean just the smoke like it would take.
Speaker 4 (40:57):
It took blocks and blocks, and it is hard.
Speaker 6 (41:02):
To wrap your mind around when you go and you.
Speaker 4 (41:04):
Cause you can. You can see people go, oh, it's
one hundred stories. Wait, stand at the bottom of it
and look up. It's like whoa you know.
Speaker 5 (41:12):
To think how far away you'd have to be to
not be impacted somehow. I mean, we all know that
the smoke did. There's those videos of people just running
in stores and closing the door and you just see
the smoke go by, and you can't even see out them.
Speaker 6 (41:22):
It's it's crazy, absolutely crazy.
Speaker 4 (41:25):
Uh, let's go to Chris or no Brook, excuse me, Brook,
No Chris and Florid woll whatever.
Speaker 6 (41:29):
We'll get to you in a minute.
Speaker 10 (41:30):
Go ahead, Brook, Hey guys, how are you all today?
Speaker 6 (41:34):
Good? We got a minute?
Speaker 10 (41:36):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (41:37):
So over the weekend I saw an ad for the
Converse Denom blues but stuck out?
Speaker 8 (41:43):
Do you think do you think that that's a precursor
for the genial uniform?
Speaker 6 (41:46):
So it's awesome, I hope.
Speaker 4 (41:49):
So then, for people who don't know, the ninety six
Converse denim shoes are being re released.
Speaker 6 (41:56):
And if you don't think I'm buyttom, you're wrong.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
She's right. Don't you think that is a precursor that's
are gonna wear?
Speaker 6 (42:02):
They're ugly, don't get me wrong. Those are ugly, clanky shoes.
Speaker 4 (42:06):
I don't think our players can play in them, but
I'm gonna have a pair just for history.
Speaker 6 (42:09):
But they are.
Speaker 4 (42:10):
Nike, which now owns Converse, is re releasing the ninety
six Kentucky Denham shoes.
Speaker 6 (42:14):
That's kind of a maze. I'll have them too.
Speaker 5 (42:16):
I had them win the ninety six, I had the
Converse blue T shirt at Patinos.
Speaker 4 (42:19):
Camps, and that means we're wearing denim jerseys exactly we are,
and I cannot wait. Should be a lot of fun.
If I'm nine, two eighth twenty two eighty seven, we'll
come back. I re number two.

(00:56):
it's called Tj'll Make Them Pay. We are about four
weeks away from the first NFL kickof or excuse me,
college football kickoff three weeks away from our reopening of
ks Bar, and that those are the two most important
days the football season. I guess threw twenty six days away.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
Twenty six days almost here. I had a good time
watching them this weekend with the excitement, and to say
it's less than four weeks away talking seasons almost over.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Yeah, less than three weeks away from the first games.
There are games that weekend by twenty third Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:31):
Yeah, DRIs.
Speaker 7 (01:31):
There was a good crowd there for the open practice,
so maybe people are starting to get excited about their day.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
I went to fan day because it was a day
and I am a fan. Perfect weather, I gotta say,
absolutely perfect after it had been one hundred and ten
and Lexington for a week, and I was pretty surprised
by the turnout.
Speaker 6 (01:46):
Good.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
I really think they got probably even better than they
expected to be honest. They had a good crowd of
fans there to watch the team do their their usual
open practice.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
That's good to hear. I guess I kind of thought
that would not be the case. So I'm glad that
I'm I'm glad it is. Maybe there's getting some excitement.
So two things I want to lead off with. One
is is all the football stuff from Friday, but we
have to start with what happened in Bristol.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
So I was I was gonna go.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
How happy are you?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
I was gonna go until Thursday night I started to
think I'm not gonna go, But even Friday I was like,
you know, if I get a hankering, and then I
decided not to.
Speaker 6 (02:25):
I had the best decision.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
I hate it because it looks like what a debacle
in Bristol. Now, A lot of it is not anybody's fault.
It didn't rain all day. It started raining forty minutes
before the game, capt raining and then stopped once everybody
got out of it.
Speaker 6 (02:44):
It literally rained for five hours, and it was the
five hours that they wanted to play baseball game. So
to some extent, what are you.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Gonna don't can't change mother Nator, But.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
Everything else seems like a disaster.
Speaker 7 (02:55):
Ran out of food, ran out of hot dogs and buns.
They're serving hot dogs but no buns.
Speaker 6 (03:00):
Yeah, I mean no, just straight winger. That was all
you got. Nachos, no cheese, You just got the chips.
They had nachos, no cheese.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Here's a big thing of to They ran out on
half the half the facility. They ran out of soda,
so you had two choices for drinks, Shannon water or tequila.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I'm going tequila on that.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Water or tequila. Then you know, apparently long lines to
get in. They only had four food trucks open outside
of the place, so like they were apparently out the door,
so it was just a cluster. Ry McGee was on
ESPN with me. He said, the problem was major League
Baseball ran the logistics. They didn't let Bristol Motor Speedway,
(03:42):
who's used to it.
Speaker 6 (03:43):
That's just stupid. That's just stupid.
Speaker 8 (03:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
I mean, you an that knows how to do it,
and you don't let them run it. That's just stupid. Now,
a lot of stuff look cool. The track there looked cool. Yeah, right.
I think they did an amazing job with the field,
all these people in the crowd, it was gonna be awesome.
But then you just saw, okay, it just keeps me
lingering and lingering. And then they were like, clearly we
(04:07):
want to try to start it, and just a debacle.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
Plate don't even get through one inning.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Didn't finish the first thing.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
They didn't even get through one inning.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
There are lakes in the middle of the infield, the
Rads start their starting pitcher and end up burning him
because he can't pitch.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
After one inning, he comes.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Out, and so then the Reds, and if the thing
was an important game for the Reds they needed to win,
end up losing.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
The next day.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
I kept getting messages all night from listeners who were there,
and all they kept saying to me, Shannon was you
would hate this more than anyone on earth would hate this.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
I can't imagine being stuck there with ninety thousand people,
rain pouring down, poor, not enough shuttles to get people
in and out of there. It sounded like an absolute.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Lines lines everybody. You know how much I hate lines traffic.
There were apparently people still trying to drive out at
three in the morning. Oh this is what you get
when you go to a place and you don't listen
to people that are.
Speaker 6 (05:02):
There, right, Yeah, yeah, that's what you need to do.
I've learned that with OVW.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
When we would go to small towns that first year
that I was running OVW, I'd go, well, we need
to do this, we need that, And then sometimes people
would say, well, you know here in in Etown, this
is how we do things and I was like, wow,
what is Etown though? But then by year two I
learned what Etown tell you what to do in Etown?
Speaker 6 (05:27):
Right, they should have done the same thing. So I
was so disappointed.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
I was disappointed because I wanted the world to get
I wanted it, like for LA to get the attention.
I mean, it was our teams, right, that was gonna
be good, and it just ended up that it really was.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
I was so excited.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
It's the first full baseball game I've watched in or
non playoff game. And I don't know how long I
don't sit around and watch full baseball. You did watch
it Sunday pregame started at six thirty. I was on
my couch at six with the TV on front. But yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's Sunday one. I got to watch it all, gotcha.
I'm because I'm weird. I kind of wanted to be
there Saturday night. That's my kind of event. Like now,
(06:06):
I would have been camping. I would not have been
in I wouldn't have been driving anywhere for one, but
I would have been out there having a blast.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
During the delay.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
But watching from home just utter chaos, and and John
Smoltz and the crew. All that had to have been awful,
which is hours of live.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
They basically just had to to Ryan just like talk
for four hours. And clearly my question is did baseball
have a backup player or they just not?
Speaker 6 (06:34):
I mean, I know there's only so much you can do.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
You can't just build a roof, but they should have
probably called the game early in the night, yeah right,
and then said all right, we're all gonna come back tomorrow,
let's try this again. Or they could have said, well, well,
you know, throw the first pitch at midnight. You know,
I knew it. Here's what I knew it was gonna
be bad. Shitting Terry Francona. I saw that they should
have showed an interview at like four point thirty and
(06:59):
he was like, they're you excited about this?
Speaker 6 (07:01):
And he goes, well, you know.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
This is good for baseball and so we're gonna work
through this. And that's when I thought this is he
kind of knew disaster is coming and you could see it.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
I don't understand anybody could check a radar, would know
what's going to happen. And I don't understand why they
started the game when, like you said, there are pins
of water out there on the end.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
I mean it was when they played that first ding,
it was pouring. I don't understand.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
I'm not a meteorologist, but at about two o'clock I
pulled out my phone and I can see radar on
my phone. I even said, there's no way they're getting
this in. You could see it heading for Bristol, a
big blob. You can even like follow the clock to
what it'll be. I wondered why they didn't try to
move it up.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
Is pitball? That pit bull that important?
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Because it was obvious to anyone that can look at
a radar that they weren't playing.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
Baseball that night.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
See bring Tim McGraw. Think of all the choices of
the music you could use with Tim McGrath. Yes, I mean,
let's just name Indian Outlaw, where the green grass grow,
Don't take the Girl, don't take the girl, whatever, Barbecue,
staying on my way up, t shirt yeah, something like that,
all these songs they get him out there where they
sing truck Yeah, that's.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
Chick.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
Yeah, I hate.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
That song was such a passion and that was the
Tim McGraw song they decided, you know, ozimpic New rimmed Tim.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
They get him out there. Chi, Yeah, I hate.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
That song so much, And then that's the one they
choose to play.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
I like it, I love it. Yeah, another one, and
he looked like Pitbull a little bit. See does he
have Pipple's haircut now?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
And even mentions a Braves game in that song.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
I like it.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
I ain't seen a Braves game.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
Would you not put that in there?
Speaker 4 (08:54):
I mean?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Hell?
Speaker 6 (08:56):
And then they and then you know, as.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Soon as they put Pitball out, put Bull out, that's
when the rain started. Did you notice it was in
the middle of the Pitbull concert. It was like the
Lord was telling us something. Get the three one one
or whatever his name mean, mister three five, three oh.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
Five, get the Why is he here? Fireball?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I hate it for Bristol owner speed Leg.
Speaker 7 (09:22):
That could have been an opportunity to have his awesome
NYE ever dowesome event.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Now they may never do it again.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
We're going to do it again, right like they this
was they were, They tried and then they're never gonna
do it again.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
And so much of it before it went absolutely chaotic
with the delay, just the jerseys, with the NASCAR numbers,
the cars, the Braves, mascot, blooper, who's hilarious in itself,
just him doing all the stuff around the track.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
They were driving them around in the cars and then
it started. You know, they're all getting dredged and having
to act like they're enjoyed. Can you imagine how heavy
those uniform forms were. And then when the Braves guy
hit a home run to have the race car come
out the home run call, that was cool, but you
just can't do anything.
Speaker 9 (10:04):
Now.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
Did you see the old man trying to throw the
ball over the fence? No, I didn't see that. This
is a great moment.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
This was clearly like a Ryan Lemon person who thinks
he's still an athlete, but tim is. A baseball goes
up on the track and someone in the crowd is
saying tarl it and this old man is like okay,
and you can hear the announcers go he's not gonna
be able to get that. There's no way. And this
(10:34):
old man goes and he throws it like twenty feet,
doesn't even get it to the fence.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
I think about how high that fence.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Is at Bristol because they don't want cars going into
the thing.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
That's a good video if you see it, the old
man trying to throw a ball over.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
I like that when the players there's a video when
they first come out and see that video board, they're
just shocked, like are we gonna hit that thing? And
end up being in foul territory a little bit, But
that huge scoreboard hanging over there was pretty unique.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Shadowed a little bit, Shannon, But I don't know if
you noticed when the game started how dark it was.
Oh yeah, because in the pregame, Jeter Ortiz and a
Rod We're kind of like, clearly they're there. They want
to hype it up, but you could tell that they
were like.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Hey, folks, there's a little bit of work here. There
ain't a lot like the entire season to prepare for
this exactly.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
I and they literally said they were like you could
hear I think it was, uh a Rod going one
of the.
Speaker 6 (11:33):
Things to watch. The lights are pretty far.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Away from the field and it might be hard for
people to see the ball.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
You would have thought this was a pop up game.
They had just playned the day before. Everything went down.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
It it's crat I hated because I was so excited, man,
and it just it just didn't work.
Speaker 7 (11:52):
The football game they had there was a huge success
you know, everybody loved that.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
I was hoping the same would be for baseball.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
Matt, could you say that that baseball game was ridiculous?
Speaker 6 (11:59):
As we tweeted it was.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
That SHANEA and I did the same within like sight seconds.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
I thought you guys were hanging out or something.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
Maybe we were. It looked like we were like, let's
be tweeted, buddy.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
It looked like when someone runs multiple accounts and it
kind of puts them off.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Looks well, they didn't worry. And now the summer of
Ally is. I mean, it's not over, but it's pretty close.
I mean, that was a big one. We're now four
back in the wild Card. We have the hardest schedule
coming in. The Padres have one of the easiest schedules
coming in. You know, I'm going to Pittsburgh this weekend
to watch the series, and it might be my goodbye
(12:41):
for the week for the year, just because like I
can't keep doing this. I've been you know, this has
been I've enjoyed it. I've had more fun watching baseball
this year. But you know, I got to start getting
into football gear and I feel like the summer of Valley.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
The Reds have hung in there a lot longer than
most people today.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Got rid of Connor Joe finally, so that was nice
of him, But it's probably it's probably over, and I've.
Speaker 6 (13:06):
Enjoyed him and a lot most of these guys will
be back next year.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Like I like this team outside of a couple people,
But I think I think the Braves ended the Summer Villey,
which makes me sad.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Shannon, do we feel guilty about putting the nail on
the coffin?
Speaker 3 (13:19):
No, absolutely not. This is our super Bowl. We got
nothing else to play roll this year.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
Yeah, that's true. You didn't we.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Get the Bristol Cup or whatever that thing was.
Speaker 6 (13:27):
They gave a cup trophy?
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yeah for Eli White?
Speaker 6 (13:31):
No, well that's nice. Yeah that that dude?
Speaker 10 (13:33):
Who is that guy who just hurt?
Speaker 6 (13:37):
They discreamed some random guy up? He hits fifteen home runs?
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Yeah, some random guy third looking like Brooks Robinson out
there stopping every line drive.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Eli White had four home runs on the season. He
had two in that game. And then it's too our pitcher.
Did you see his story? He wasn't even in Bristol
on Sunday. They picked a car at five fifteen am
and drove him to Bristol.
Speaker 6 (13:58):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Did sixty miles that morning from from Georgia to get there.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
So he got called up to play that game. And
his name's Waldrip, kind of like Waldrip perfect see.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
Stupid Waldrop ended the summer of Eli.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Yeah, it was a FUNDI I'm gonna say, I can't
be to I enjoyed the summer. This was the most
I've enjoyed baseball since Dale Murphy played. So I do
uh I did worth it?
Speaker 8 (14:22):
Then?
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Yes, A five nine two oh twenty two eighty seven
text machine is seven seven two seven seven four five
two five four. We'll talk a little UK football and
then you know, there's a lot of random stuff coming on,
including the long johns CEO replies to Kentucky Sports Radio,
have you seen this? Long? John CEO gets on linked
In and talks about KSR.
Speaker 6 (14:44):
Really, we'll be right back KSR truck.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Yeah, that's what they decided to play. Instead Apparently they
play like they played this in the background during the intros,
but in his concert he played truck.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Yeah, that's what I would think this would be the
one that it should have been anything else, anything.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
He's Tim McGraw, he's got like a million songs.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
I guess they're trying to appeal to the NASCAR.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Here's the thing. I said this on ESPN. When a
country singer decides that the way to have a hit
song is to rhyme a word with a cuss word
without saying it, then they're washed up. Here's the other way.
When they have a song and they use a double
entaundra for bud like badonka, don't that means your time
(15:31):
is passion?
Speaker 6 (15:32):
And then you're like, I gotta have a gimmick song.
Speaker 9 (15:34):
Kind of with you on that, Like once you start
doing that badonka donk and uh, he ain't worth a
shift and stuff like that, Yeah it shift.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
He ain't worth a shift.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Like you just go, okay, dude, it's time for you
to go to renfro Verralley do the Old person tour.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
You go from like a great song, every light in
the house is on to honky tonk, badonka don.
Speaker 6 (16:03):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Cody says, I was there, and I can confirm they
were selling nachos with no cheese for five dollars. Then
they ran out of the chips, but the other booth
still had cheese, so you could buy cheese for three
dollars with no chips.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Oh my goodness, they just drink that. Wow, straw.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
Laur are you supposed to do it?
Speaker 4 (16:28):
But you might get to a point where you're like,
I just take a big bowl of cheese.
Speaker 6 (16:32):
I mean dip your bunglass hot dog in it. I
don't know. It's true. You could buy the wiener and
the cheese and dip and you got to go.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
To pictures of the concourse.
Speaker 7 (16:40):
People are just packed in there like sardines, and the
are wet and they probably smell and they steak.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Oh, I'm so glad. So before we go the phones
UK football we went to media day. I thought it
was one of our most successful ones. Yet I'm not
sure if that's gonna equate to winning, you know. Mitch
Barnhardt's interview was great, had a lot of new who's
in it? Mark's interview was really good. I thought the
players were good. Chiaj Pete's interview. Mario put like a
(17:09):
three minute clip of it on TikTok. It now has
six hundred and twenty thousand views. At this point, it
is our third biggest video ever behind Bronni James and
us making fun of Louisville's uniforms for being wrinkled during
that team picture. This kid got it got like picked
up by like Navajo Nation. Go read the comments on
(17:34):
that TikTok. It's KSR the show TikTok. Go read the comments.
It's all Navajos from Navajo Nation going, I love this guy.
Where can I get a Kentucky jers like I Now
I'm on the Navajo algorithm because of this, because of
how much everybody liked that kid. When have we ever
(17:55):
had a situation where the offensive lineman Ryne might be
the most popular place on the team.
Speaker 7 (18:01):
And he proved it on the show there because that's
what everybody was talking about this weekend was his interview
with us. He just so genuine and sincere, and you
just left liking the guy as a person, not as
a player, but as a person.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
And on TikTok just so you know, like when you
see Twitter like views and stuff, that's nonsense, like they
just those numbers are made up, like Twitter views and videos.
But the TikTok stuff, I actually think is pretty real.
You can and and six hundred thousand is a massive
number for one of our videos.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
So like this kid, you know, it's interesting. He's gonna have.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
A huge platform and he's so soft spoken and all that,
but still kind of has that way about him.
Speaker 6 (18:40):
Yeah, we have.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
It crossed many college football players, if any that are
like him. My favorite part was when he talked about
just how grateful he is and he cherishes every moment,
and he said, I'm even cherishing this right now with
your He made a point to like say our names.
It's like this guy really, it's not just him saying
it doing the media speak. He really appreciates everything that's
been put in front of him.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
So you watched him play. I did watch him twice.
I got two days. So what do you feel now
you've actually seen them?
Speaker 5 (19:07):
Not just haven't I haven't take away I'm afraid to
say in the radio because I there will be an
overreaction and I don't want to be responsible for It's
the video of going.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
It's not crazy to say they could go to the
play that's still out there, So that's.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Not that's not my overreaction. However, I've said this to
many people. I wrote on our website Friday, at least
on Friday, if I were just an alien anybody, I
don't know anything about Kentucky Football's roster. I don't know
the people. You just dropped me in the on that
field and I was watching football. Cutter Bowdi was the
better quarterback. Now that was only on one day. The
(19:43):
one day said this one sample size, Kalsada is going
to be the starter. I'm not trying to put a
competition here, but the gap between one and two is
not big at all. Now only was with the two,
so he has a little bit of an advantage. He's
going against second string. I'm not trying to bench Kalsada.
Please don't say out there Drew saying Bowlie is the starter,
but Cutter, Cutter, Bowlie is a very good backup, and didn't.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
He didn't shake next year, he didn't shake Drew's hand
when because there was a disrespect. I may have called Nick,
but not to his face. But before he got there
both days, Bowie looked awesome.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
So, uh, what do you what have you been here?
What'd you think?
Speaker 8 (20:21):
Well?
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Drew and I talked about this on the right over here.
I was told Bowdi will be the starter by the
end of the season.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
By who When you say that, though, like I mean
without the name, Like, what kind of person we talking.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
No, it's football.
Speaker 6 (20:34):
Well that could be that could be anybody, but all right,
a football note.
Speaker 8 (20:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
You know, we talked about this a couple of months ago,
and we talked about Cutter Bowlie and I said, man,
he's gonna play. They're gonna put a package for him.
I think he's going on the field early and just
kind of get him ready just in case they have
to make a move.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Move Aside from the quarterback, did you think it looked
like a team that's more competitive.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
I'm pretty confident they're going to be much better than
last year. I don't know what that means for the record,
because it's still the outrageous schedule we all know, but
I will be shocked if we're not impressed with some improvements,
several positions, and overall a better product. Even you know,
culture has been the big thing. You could even see
it in practice. They're all listening, nobody's goofing off, even
players are holding each other accountable. They looked like an
(21:17):
operation that's together and wants to go win some games.
But talent wise, in that schedule in front of them,
I don't know what that means overall, but I am
almost certain that they're gonna better than a year ago.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
You could definitely taill, definitely even just sitting there during the.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
Media day that the culture is better than it was.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
I mean, I was not at media day last year,
so I do have to say, like, you got to
consider that, but there is no doubt that when you
were around anything football in the last two years, it
felt it's sort of like when you go into a
city or a town and it's like dirty and you
just go, you know, what's happening at this place. It's
(21:55):
very rare if you think about it, to see a
town that's flourishing that's also.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
Dirty and with windows broken and stuff.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
This I'm not saying it was dirty, but it just
felt like you could just feel this isn't totally coherent.
People were walking, they were doing other It didn't feel
like that. This felt more like what it was really
in the first six to eight stoop years. Now that's
how it felt in the first couple stoop years, and
we still stunk, but then we got good. Yeah, right,
(22:24):
But it did feel like what they all talked about,
that whole culture thing. I think that's gonna be better.
Whether we win more or not, I don't know. Ryan,
but I do think that's gonna be bad.
Speaker 7 (22:33):
And I felt like that was the old Mark Stoops.
So we had on the show on Friday. He seemed
like the old guy that was kind of back to
business man. He's not messing around anymore, not jerking around.
He's out there to win football games.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
So, and you know, thank you to SHIAJ. Pete for
giving us like we have a new Navajo Nation fan base.
I think Kentucky will too. They should sell his jersey
all absolutely, if you just look at that comment section,
they should sell his jersey. They're a lot lot of
people that would buy it. We'll take your calls right
for this.

The surprise hit movie of the weekend was Nate Excuse Me.
Naked Gun made thirty million dollars, is only projected to
make ten.
Speaker 6 (23:42):
It's gotten amazing.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
Reviews, people saying it's one of the funniest movies that's
come out in the theater in years. This is the
one with Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson. I love the
old Naked Guns in the past. Are you would you lie?
Do you want to see the new Naked Gun? Got
like a ninety five percent on Right and Tomatoes.
Speaker 7 (24:01):
See that's that's in my wheelhouse That night Gun? I
like who he's like this?
Speaker 2 (24:05):
So is neam Nielson supposed to be the son of
Leslie Nielsen.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
I don't know the plot, I.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Believe Yeah.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
I watched Naked Gun one last night to get ready
it tonight. I'm going to watch two and a half
and then thirty three and a third, which is the
third one?
Speaker 6 (24:19):
You think you need to know the other one?
Speaker 5 (24:20):
I had all three of them on VHS, playing them
all the time. I can't wait to see wat Yes,
and the reviews have only made me more excited.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
I had no interest in it, but if it's so good,
like people are talking about how there are theaters where
everyone's cracking up, like it's I like seeing a comedy
where other people are laughing. It just makes the atmosphere fun.
But there aren't many of those anymore that come out
that do well in theaters. Shannon, are you interested in
the new Naked Gun? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (24:46):
I feel like I need to go back and watch
Barbed Wire first to get ready for it borrowed.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Yeah, The Naked Gun also had one of the more
embarrassing moments of my life. When that was a comedy,
Larry and I shared in enjoyment. Larry liked the silliness
and I liked it as a kid, and when I
was in high school.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
I guess I don't know if it was two and
a half or thirty three and a third.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
One of them came out in the theaters and Larry
took me and DJ and that one of the early scenes,
there's like a shadow and then someone something grows on
someone and we'll just leave it at that.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
Do you remember what I'm talking about?
Speaker 4 (25:25):
And that was uncomfortable with Larry sitting there, because you know,
he and I it was. It was uncomfortable, and so
it was hard for me to enjoy the movie because
I was embarrassed in front of him.
Speaker 6 (25:39):
I was like in eighth grade or ninth grade or
something like that. And the trailer looks like they recreate
that scene a little bit.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
Young Drew Franklin was a big fan of Alla Presley.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
I'm not gonna go with Larry. He don't have to
see that one on his own. I think they run
that scene back.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
All right, Well, I remember distinctly, DJ and I've talked
about distinctly sitting in that theater. To be anywhere else
on Earth than in that theater at that moment, I
want to see it, Orvan go ahead Orvan.
Speaker 6 (26:09):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (26:09):
Hi, Matt.
Speaker 11 (26:10):
How was at the game on Saturday?
Speaker 6 (26:13):
Oh you are okay?
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Yes?
Speaker 11 (26:16):
And let's just say it was total chaos. It was
a mess. They ran out of a whole bunch of stuff.
They ran out of merchandise for Atlanta and Cincinnati. They
even ran out of ponchos, which is especial delayed.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
Oh that's terrible. So they ran out of merchandise.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
That would seem like the one thing they would There's
no way they would run out of they still.
Speaker 11 (26:36):
Did exactly exactly what It was a group of six
of us. We flew from Pennsylvania and then we drove
four hours to the game and it was like a
six month trip that we planned about six months ago.
And yeah, it was total chaos.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
And then you still have fun though sometimes sometimes in
a miserable atmosphere like that, if we're with your friends,
you can still make a way to have fun.
Speaker 6 (26:58):
Drew was saying that earlier. Did you have fun still?
Speaker 11 (27:02):
Yeah, because I got enough alcohol in me, So yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
That's what I would think. Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I would have hated it.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
You know.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Part of the problem I appreciate the call is about
moving the game to the next day is they didn't
have anywhere for the teams to stay, which you would
think in twenty twenty five would not be a problem,
but because both teams had planned on flying home after
the game, and because Bristol's a small place with not
a lot of hotels, they didn't have anywhere for the
teams to stay.
Speaker 6 (27:28):
So what they do I don't know.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
I never heard the Reds and Braves were both gonna
fly home immediately after the game.
Speaker 6 (27:34):
But I don't know what.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Did they just open up people's houses like this was ANAU.
Speaker 10 (27:39):
Tournament, quartering soldiers in quarter braves. Yeah, and they made
you quarter reds. All right, ma'am, Lie de la Cruz
will be in your bedrooms. I'm sorry you're gonna have
to do. I don't know what they ended up doing.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
I don't either.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
I was wondering that during the LA like do they
have plans for this? But I guess it's camping. Maybe
you're just in your RV and get knocking. Here's Ellie
with a little Teddy bear in his blanket, like, hey,
can I get a Can I get a bed in here?
Speaker 6 (28:01):
Yeah? Scoot over, Andrew Abbott is going to be sleeping
here tonight.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Interesting.
Speaker 7 (28:06):
My friend's Bubba that went to the game of his son.
Your friend Bubba Bubba from Kentucky Westling. You have a
friend named Bubba, that's what we call him, Scott Kramer's Bubba.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
Why did you start calling him Bubba?
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Because he looks like a bubba?
Speaker 6 (28:16):
So he's fat?
Speaker 2 (28:18):
No, he's not fat. He looks like a bubba.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
Bubba' they're supposed to be fat, like the cherubic face. Okay,
So that's what I thought. See, so you actually took
a non overweight person named him Bubba to make them
feel bad about themselves.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
It was our first basement. He wasn't overweight, but he went.
He was so miserable.
Speaker 7 (28:38):
They stayed in the night and just got up the
next morning, drove home. They didn't even go to the
game Sunday because it was just such a miserable explore.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
You could see in the crowd there was a lot
of people that had not had not come back. Noah,
go ahead, Noah, Hey, Matt.
Speaker 8 (28:51):
I got a challenge for you.
Speaker 6 (28:52):
Okay, try so.
Speaker 8 (28:54):
So this past season from mark from marko ends with
uh now six senior years since the beginning of John.
Speaker 12 (29:02):
Kyle Perry's era, So sorry from first with job on
all that now sixteen years off. You tell you basketball,
I want you to try to rank EACI or basically
take a tournament style like maybe like the NBA style
of like sixteen teams and rank either in like from
either one to eight on both sides, or like two
sets of one through four, rank each one of the
(29:23):
Kentucky teams and then put it through either a single
one or.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
That would take a long time and people would need
to see the bracket, but I appreciate the call, but
I can't. I'm I'm fine ranking the teams. I mean,
we've done this before. But if you take since cal
got here, what are let's just say the eight best teams.
I'm just gonna go in order. The best team since
cal got here, I don't care what anyone says. Is
the twenty fifteen team. It was better than the twenty
(29:49):
twelve team. I love the twenty twelve team, but the
twenty fifteen team was better. I know they didn't win.
I don't care.
Speaker 6 (29:55):
They were better.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
They were better the twenty fifteen teams first, twenty twelve
a second, twenty ten is third. I feel very confident
those three, to me are on another level than everybody else.
Twenty seventeen for me, is for Fox, Monk and BAM.
I think they're pretty strongly for And then when you
get to fifth, there's a lot of different directions that
(30:17):
you could go. I tend to probably say twenty eleven
is fifth. By the end of the year, I think
that team was kind of rolling, and so for me,
they're fifth and then sixth. Okay, where do you want
to go? I think there's an argument for the COVID
team where the tournament ended, right, would you say? With
quickly and all those guys, I think there's I probably
(30:41):
would end up putting the team that lost in the
Elite eight to Tauburn, the Tyler Hero Keldon Johnson team.
I'm probably gonna put them sixth. Put the COVID team seventh,
and then I put the twenty fourteen team, who I
know they got went on a great run, but that
team struggled a lot of the eighth. Probably put our
(31:01):
team last year ninth. I'd love to put the Oscar
team that lost to Saint Peter's because they were so
good during the regular season.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
Probably put them.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Well, No, I'm gonna put the team that lost in
the Sweet sixteen to Kansas State tenth. Yeah, Oscar team eleventh,
Murray Euless twelfth. Now, who's left thirteen? COVID team, the
one we didn't miss the tournament on Col's last team.
Speaker 6 (31:37):
And who else? What's the other one I'm missing?
Speaker 2 (31:40):
The team that lost to Oakland?
Speaker 6 (31:43):
Was that not the same?
Speaker 2 (31:45):
That's second?
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Oh no, no, the Kansas State second, Kansas State lost team. Yeah, right, Well,
the worst team is the COVID team Yeah, Nerland's is fifteen,
or the Netherlands team with Irland's would have to be fifteenth.
Then I guess you would say the team that lost
to Kansas State, and then the team that lost to
(32:07):
Oakland's probably fourteenth. So there's your sixteenth team.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
That's not a bad ranking though, And I can't believe I.
Speaker 6 (32:12):
Remembered all those teams. But do you like those that list? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (32:15):
And actually yesterday I did a deep dive on the
twenty nineteen lost to Auburn. Kentucky should not have lost
that game. They're five point favorite. Auburn's best players in
the wheelchair. And then we get Virginia versus Texas Tech
in that championship game we were talking about that was
one of Cal's bigger choke jobs.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
You could make an argument that team was better than
the Brandon nineteen. I mean, I think you could make
an argument for that.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
I had forgotten how bad that Auburn loss was. They
had no business losing that game.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
I think that's good.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
I think that's my sixteen in in that order. I
feel very confident about the top three and even number
four being Rox Monk and Bay. Yeah, fIF is where
you can kind of start putting teams where you want,
depend on what you like. I feel pretty good about fifth,
and then I agree that team that lost to Auburn's prices.
Speaker 5 (33:02):
Also watched the Caliperry press conference about the Auburn game.
I regret that that. That just made me mad on it.
It was everybody's fault but his, you know, typical. But
they did play bad, But the press conference didn't make
me feel I don't know why about that was the.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
Game where Jamal Baker was playing well, and then he
fouled on that three, yep, which was a bad play.
But if we took everyone out that fouled on a
three in the col Era, Mario would be the only
person left playing like everyone fouled on threes in the Cow.
And then he didn't put Jamal Baker back in the game.
Speaker 7 (33:31):
Drew and I were sitting right behind the bench and
Cal yelled his assistance, he's done, he's done, no more,
he's done.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
That's the only tournament game I've said, well, that one
in Harrison's three against Louisville Indianapolis the only two times
I've set near Cow.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
But he had been hot, he's hot, and he was
playing pretty good defense.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
In that game is pull in and never put him
back in.
Speaker 6 (33:48):
Yeah, didn't even consider it.
Speaker 4 (33:50):
I mean, he's the same thing to uh, what's his
face in the Kentucky Carolina game in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
Who was it? Because he's it was at Derek will Us.
It might have been Dereck Willis.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
There was somebody somebody that he like, in the first
minute goes, we're not putting. He just got in his
mind sometimes that that dude's out and I'm not playing
him again. And he was like that with Derek Willis
for a lot of his career and then finally Derek's
senior year he started to kind of believe in him
a little bit. He took him a long time to
get there with him.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
It may have been Derek Willis a North Carolina.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
He would take guys that he didn't think were tough.
That was his thing, tough and if he didn't think
you were tough, you were done. Yeah, Marcus Lee dar
for a couple of years, Alex for a.
Speaker 6 (34:36):
Couple of years. Jamal Baker was like that.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
He just had guys in his mind that like, you're
not tough, and if you're not tough, I'm not playing
and some of that I understood, but some of it
I thought was unfair to those guys because he'd make
it to where they didn't didn't have a.
Speaker 5 (34:49):
Chance in the begger game. Uh, ashton Hagen said seven
turnovers quickly in Hero were like four for twenty something,
and Beggar had three minutes, I mean just not even
a chance.
Speaker 6 (34:59):
To go in do something, and he had. I think
he had been really good than not. He'd been good
for a few weeks and he was good in a
few minutes he played. He just committed that.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
One minute, one stupid foul and then that was Uh,
that was it. Eight five nine two eight oh twenty
two eighty seven. We will take a break right back, Caisser,
I mean embarrassing. So it's like literally, I mean, I
I don't support just arresting people for their beliefs.
Speaker 6 (35:21):
But maybe this one was a hit. Now it was
a huge hit, yeah, because people like terrible things.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
That's true. They still play it at a bar. If
people still go crazy for this song.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
Yeah, I mean people like you know, more like what
was a member And I love Toby Keith, but his
red solo cup like the more stupid like there's one
of these that comes out every year, there's one of
these just insanely dumb songs so stupid, Like there's another
(35:53):
one if you have one, I'd like to just read
them and get angry. Seven seven two seven seven four
five two five four. I hate those little gim mickey.
Speaker 6 (36:01):
She thanks my chapter six.
Speaker 13 (36:04):
Like I mean, I mean, just such insanely stupid songs.
Speaker 10 (36:14):
As a society that we're dumb.
Speaker 6 (36:16):
I mean, there's no doubt about it. We're dumb.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
We get like, we get just completely you know, look
at this shiny thing over here.
Speaker 6 (36:24):
Okay, wow, Rednecker than you.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
No.
Speaker 6 (36:27):
I mean I listen. I fall for some of it,
but I do not fall for it.
Speaker 4 (36:32):
On the country music on the opposite side, I drove
to Middlesbrough Friday night and then back Saturday. And on
Saturday I was like, you know what, I haven't listened
to Purgatory by Tyler Childers in a while. That's the
best album of all time in my opinion. I'm gonna
go ahead and say not one bad song. I mean,
I haven't played white I hadn't really listened to White
House Road much. That's even though it's his most popular song.
(36:55):
By Tyler that's an awesome song, especially when you're driving
through Eastern Kentucky car song. You're right, it's like drives.
The beat drives like your car drives. Because he's got
women up and down this creek. You're looking around at
the scene.
Speaker 6 (37:11):
I'm going up and down the creek. You're passing version,
I'm passing all those women, not stopping. That's right. No, no, no,
h Did you see the video, Shannon, I thought of
you because the Saudi Arabian amusement park where the ride
falls down. Oh, yes, I have. Yeah, if you've seen it, Oh,
(37:32):
it's so scared.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Yeah, it could happen anywhere anytime.
Speaker 4 (37:36):
Well, as I saw that video as I was driving
down the road and saw them moving amusement park rides.
As Nate Bargatzi says, I refuse to get on something
that just a few hours before was on the interstate.
And he's exactly right by that. I don't understand how
it's again twenty twenty five. Why are we putting our
kids on the puke machines at County Fair.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
It is a state fair season, so it is.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
But that Saudi Arabian it's awful, like it falls and
it could have been worse, Like, they don't land on
their head.
Speaker 6 (38:07):
What if they had landed on their head, they're dead.
Speaker 4 (38:10):
They're dead. I mean they just kind of land on
their butt. And I saw a few people broke their legs,
But like, it could have been so much worse.
Speaker 6 (38:17):
And it's not just the rids.
Speaker 5 (38:18):
And sorry, I don't mean to call it anyone individually
if you run these rods, but it's either a teenager
that you're putting your child on there with or someone
who you would probably never let babysit your kid.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
Yes, I mean that's that should be your standard. Look
at the person running the rod. Would you leave them
alone with your child for more than five minutes? If
the answer is no, how are you gonna put your
child on a thing that they drove there?
Speaker 6 (38:46):
They Yeah?
Speaker 4 (38:46):
I mean I don't mean that to be rude, but no.
And I never liked them. What were the names of
some of them.
Speaker 6 (38:53):
You had, like the I would get on the gravitron?
Speaker 4 (38:55):
What was the one where they would throw you to
this like you beingler?
Speaker 2 (39:00):
It was a good one.
Speaker 4 (39:01):
Yeah, that was the one everybody always wanted to do.
I'm out and that video just made me more out. Freebird,
Go ahead, free bird.
Speaker 8 (39:10):
Hey guys, I tried and tried to get into you
all last week. I was up in New York City
on a work reward. Went to the Yankees game against
the Rays man at Yankee Stadium. They sell out every
every game.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
And the neighborhood around there, the neighborhood around there, if
you go ever go to a Yankees game, just remember
Uncle Matt said this the food in the neighborhood, like
the block surrounding it.
Speaker 6 (39:36):
Yeah, there's like Jamaican food.
Speaker 4 (39:38):
There's like all this, you know, I'm saying, Mario, there's
all this ethnic food around it. You can get the
best food. And I will say it's the opposite of
the riots. The dirtier it looks, the better it is. Okay,
But the more like the more the worse it looks
on the outside, the better the food actually is on
(39:59):
the inside.
Speaker 6 (40:00):
But go ahead.
Speaker 8 (40:01):
I was just in all I'm sure I know you've
been there, but looking up at the skyscrapers, I just
it's hard for me in my mind to fathom people
standing there and watching those planes go over and hit
those buildings. And we went to the fountains. It's very,
very somber Man. It's it's just, dude, I'm ready to
get your hand.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
I'm totally with you if you stand. I thought it's
interesting you say that free bird. Appreciate the call. If
you stand at the bottom of the highest towers in
New York and you sit there and think what it
had to be looked like on September eleventh, twenty eleven,
to look up and see them on fire or whatever.
(40:42):
I can't even process in my mind what that had
to be because.
Speaker 6 (40:47):
Those buildings are so tall.
Speaker 4 (40:48):
Yeah, and then when you think about it, and this
is not to me the morbid, but when they start.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
Falling, Yes, people jumping out.
Speaker 6 (40:55):
I mean just the smoke like it would take.
Speaker 4 (40:57):
It took blocks and blocks, and it is hard.
Speaker 6 (41:02):
To wrap your mind around when you go and you.
Speaker 4 (41:04):
Cause you can. You can see people go, oh, it's
one hundred stories. Wait, stand at the bottom of it
and look up. It's like whoa you know.
Speaker 5 (41:12):
To think how far away you'd have to be to
not be impacted somehow. I mean, we all know that
the smoke did. There's those videos of people just running
in stores and closing the door and you just see
the smoke go by, and you can't even see out them.
Speaker 6 (41:22):
It's it's crazy, absolutely crazy.
Speaker 4 (41:25):
Uh, let's go to Chris or no Brook, excuse me, Brook,
No Chris and Florid woll whatever.
Speaker 6 (41:29):
We'll get to you in a minute.
Speaker 10 (41:30):
Go ahead, Brook, Hey guys, how are you all today?
Speaker 6 (41:34):
Good? We got a minute?
Speaker 10 (41:36):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (41:37):
So over the weekend I saw an ad for the
Converse Denom blues but stuck out?
Speaker 8 (41:43):
Do you think do you think that that's a precursor
for the genial uniform?
Speaker 6 (41:46):
So it's awesome, I hope.
Speaker 4 (41:49):
So then, for people who don't know, the ninety six
Converse denim shoes are being re released.
Speaker 6 (41:56):
And if you don't think I'm buyttom, you're wrong.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
She's right. Don't you think that is a precursor that's
are gonna wear?
Speaker 6 (42:02):
They're ugly, don't get me wrong. Those are ugly, clanky shoes.
Speaker 4 (42:06):
I don't think our players can play in them, but
I'm gonna have a pair just for history.
Speaker 6 (42:09):
But they are.
Speaker 4 (42:10):
Nike, which now owns Converse, is re releasing the ninety
six Kentucky Denham shoes.
Speaker 6 (42:14):
That's kind of a maze. I'll have them too.
Speaker 5 (42:16):
I had them win the ninety six, I had the
Converse blue T shirt at Patinos.
Speaker 4 (42:19):
Camps, and that means we're wearing denim jerseys exactly we are,
and I cannot wait. Should be a lot of fun.
If I'm nine, two eighth twenty two eighty seven, we'll
come back. I re number two.
