Speaker 3: Them to Hour two of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now Here's Matt Jones welcome back.

00:01:06
Speaker 4: I remember two Tucky sports radio. If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven text machine seven seven two seven seven four five two five four? Uh is ask anything Thursday? Text Machine makes a good point about the credit card thing, where you know, if everything that is paid for has to be credit card, you now have a digital record of everything you've ever bought. Are you good with that? Do you want? Which, by the way, could be subpoenaed in court? So let me give you an example. This is this is something that happened when I was a lawyer. So do you know what dram shop liability is? You know what that is? So that is if you go to a bar and you you get drunk, and then you go out and wreck a car on the way home and somebody gets hurt. There are situation where the person that got hurt can sue the bar for overserving you. Okay, okay, it's called dram shop liability. And in Kentucky, at least when I practiced, that was something that happened a decent amount. Now I think it happens lee last there might have been a change in law. I'm not sure, but I'll get I had a case once where we were. I've actually had a case on both sides, and one of the issues. The first thing you look at if you're suing is is there an electronic record of how much money they spent at the bar? Shannon, Because if you're by yourself and you go to the bar and there's a record of you spending two hundred and fifty dollars, you're either gonna have to prove that you hit on a bunch of women and bought them all drinks, or somebody's going to say to the bar, why did he pay by himself two hundred and fifty dollars for the thing? Whereas if it was cash, you can't prove that. Right then you have to look at things like cameras and all that, but cash in and of itself. I have heard of divorce cases in states where it's not no fault, where a purchase of like a purse for ten thousand dollars and then the wife goes, there's this purchase right here at Cardia ten thousand dollars. I never got the purse. Where'd it go? Whereas it was ten thousand dollars in cash, you'd never know where they spent it. You see what I'm saying, and so those electronic purchases can be used. So I'm just saying that's also for people like Yushannon, who I would think would be privacy interest. If everything is transaction, it's all in one theory, subpoenable in court one day.

00:03:45
Speaker 5: Yeah.

00:03:45
Speaker 3: I mean, sometimes I'm okay with it being out there digitally every place that I go to, but there's also some things that maybe I wouldn't necessarily want on there. So I think that that's why it's important to keep cash around. I think eventually it's going to be phased out to where everything is just electronically.

00:04:02
Speaker 4: No it is. That's probably what's gonna what's gonna happen. Let's talk football for a second here, Drew, before we go the phones A couple open lines eight, five, nine, two eight, twenty two eighty seven the CBS or excuse me, the athletic Bruce Felman did a how hot are coaches seats around the country and they would say cool to scalding. Okay, so you know, for example, the guy that coaches Ohio State is cool now, whereas other people could be scalding. Here's what he said about Mark Stoops he said Mark Stoops is hot, our seat is warm, but not especially so. Would you agree with that? Assays Yeah, I think I would. I wouldn't put it at scalding hot, but I think warm is fair. Stoops is a popular Uh you know, lots of these outlets are doing their hot seats. He's he's popular on these lists, just like toos hot on a team to pick in week one as an underdog. It's just something Kentucky fans are gonna have to deal with in this preseason as all these previews are coming out.

00:05:08
Speaker 6: We're a hot topic to be a bust. It's an easy pick for a lot of people out there.

00:05:13
Speaker 4: I agree with the warm. I don't agree with thee, but not especially so. I mean, I think if the scale is cold to scalding, he's definitely warm. I wouldn't say he's hot, but like I don't think it's lukewarm. I think it's definitely warm. I think if he gets four three four wins, it's gonna be it's gonna be very uncomfortable.

00:05:37
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's warm. But when I think of a hot seat, I'm looking at a coach where the ad is standing right behind him staring at him knowing that they're they're ready to make that if they have to, And I've just never gotten that from Barnhart, So I feel it's definitely warm. I'm not denying that, but getting too hot. I haven't seen anything from Barnhart that's putting pressure.

00:05:53
Speaker 4: Which you say that with the with the UH with Mitch Barnhart, it's lukewarm.

00:06:01
Speaker 6: But with the fan base it's hot. That's a different conversation. It's very high with the fans, but as far as actually getting something done, Barnhart he's also calling it a one year off, one year blip, whatever the terminology they've been using. I've never felt in these interviews i've gotten him recently that he has stoops on the hot seaton.

00:06:18
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:06:18
Speaker 5: Hot with the fans, for sure.

00:06:20
Speaker 3: I would say warm with Barnheart, and I would say check back with me in about seventeen days.

00:06:26
Speaker 5: Let's see what happens.

00:06:27
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, August thirty first, completely different.

00:06:30
Speaker 3: That's going to be the first measuring stick that we have to see kind of what we got this year.

00:06:34
Speaker 4: I mean, if you want to talk about Matt when I was saying earlier about the Reds, how I don't get nervous and and I just kind of am able to watch the game. Come see me at two forty five on Saturday, August thirty, because if it's a Kentucky is up three, Toledo has the ball with two and a half minutes left, I'm going to be pacing around because I'm going to be sitting there thinking what do I do just across the board if it doesn't work out? So yeah, I mean it's that is definitely a talk to me again the afternoon of August thirty.

00:07:13
Speaker 6: I hate that opener. I think they're gonna win. I even think they're going to surprise people in that game. But that's not a team you want to start with. I wish we had flipped like an Eastern Michigan or Tennessee.

00:07:22
Speaker 4: Yeah, because I mean they have to play Eastern Michigan and then play Toledo in that third game.

00:07:26
Speaker 6: I mean, Toledo got preseason top twenty five votes. They're picked to maybe even be a power for playoff team. I mean they're in one of the toughest they're picked to be a powerful they're in that conversation. But I mean the MAC is always one of the better conferences outside the power four. So they're a very trendy team right now going into that Week one game.

00:07:47
Speaker 5: Someone else eight and a half.

00:07:49
Speaker 4: I mean that has fallen from fourteen and a half to eight.

00:07:53
Speaker 5: Now, yep.

00:07:54
Speaker 6: A lot of times you follow, A lot of times you open the year and you're twenty one and a half twenty four and a half. You know, I ain't a f It's a little unsettling as you get excited about this season.

00:08:03
Speaker 3: There's a lot of people who don't believe in Kentucky are gonna lose some money. That's what I think they're gonna win.

00:08:09
Speaker 4: All right, let's go to Glenn and Pennsylvania. Go heck, oh, one more thing for I go to Glenn. Hang on, just second, Glenn, I'll come right back to you. The picture of the two guys jumping just will not it's not going away, and it's like only getting more viral, and it's like everyone in the country is discovering it now. One of the players was asked about it, and he he didn't like it, understandably, he even somebody said he then said something like I saw what KSR said. You know, I mean, I never want to be like I never want to be against the player ever, and I'm not against him. I'm sure he's I'm like, I'm sure he's a great dude. I'm gonna be cheering him on every time. But like my answer would be, dude, you you you put it out. I mean, I didn't put it in.

00:09:01
Speaker 3: And he said it was to have fun, so it suggests that it was his idea.

00:09:04
Speaker 4: Yeah, he said it was to have fun, And I'm like, I hope you did have fun, right, I mean, I'm not, but you know I'm not the I mean, the thing has gone viral outside of me, so you know, we're gonna have to go and and outplay that because for a lot of people going in the season, that picture, that video is kind of the preseason preview for Kentucky. Yeah.

00:09:28
Speaker 6: I love that he has a fun personality and that probably was funny, but I think the awareness was low of how that would be responded outside of your circle of friends. I have, unfortunately, several friends that like the Tennessee Balls, and I mean they are just lighting me up with that, already mocking the season to come. And I'm sure there are plenty of people listening who have friends of.

00:09:49
Speaker 4: Other schools Louisville.

00:09:50
Speaker 6: You name it, and it is being sent to them saying it looks like it's gonna be a funnyear.

00:09:55
Speaker 4: We have to be honest. We would do the same thing about other schools, right, I mean, think about it what I said about the Louisville preseason picture, right, I mean I made fun of it because it was ridiculous, so that they're gonna do the same thing to us. It's just reality.

00:10:12
Speaker 6: So and if the year doesn't go well, it's gonna be thrown right back at the entire team's face at that point.

00:10:18
Speaker 4: Now, if I was that kid, dude, i'd go eat it and the next thing, and when I make the first play on the field, I would jump like that.

00:10:26
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would.

00:10:28
Speaker 4: That's what I would say. That's what I would say to the kid. Hey, man, have fun with it like you had fun doing it. Now make a tackle and jump like that and then recreate it in the end zone. I'm good with it. I think that would actually be really funny. It's kind of like the motivated Mark Stoops thing. Don't get upset about own it, you know what I mean? Own it? Same thing with this because he seems like a fun loving dude. I just was saying like, I've never seen one jump like that. It was just an interesting decision to put as a picture.

00:10:58
Speaker 6: I would love nothing more than early in that Toledo game, he knocks someone's helmet off and gets up and turns and holds hands with the linebacker and recreates it.

00:11:06
Speaker 4: You'd be a little silly, but I think it's the best move at this point, and I will recreate it tomorrow at the state Fair. We will recreated since Billy's too chickens the present, Shannon and I tomorrow at the State Fair will recreate the picture. Mario. You cannot put it on social media because I've learned the understatement, but we will do it there, all right, Glendon Pennsylvania, you go ahead.

00:11:31
Speaker 7: Hey guys. First off, I'm no longer in Pennsylvania. Moved back to Kentucky two weeks ago, and I'm feeling so much better.

00:11:40
Speaker 4: Well, congratulations.

00:11:41
Speaker 7: Secondly, thank you, thank you good good to be back in the Bluegrass state. Secondly, on this Jayami thing, what happens to our big money donors now, or what happens to that money so to speak?

00:11:57
Speaker 4: Is that well, I mean their money, their money will I'll flow through JMI. So like a lot of our donors. Most of our donors don't just well, especially the big ones, they don't just hand a check. Now, they might hand a check to the university, but when it comes to the donors doing something with players, they usually filter it through a business. That would then be because you can't just pay them. It had to go through a collective or a business. Now they'll just take their business through JMI. It's almost like a JMI credit card fee probably, and that'll be what it is. So I don't I don't expect the people that donate a lot of money, I don't expect it to change how they do business.

00:12:40
Speaker 7: So is that going to be part of whatever that dollar figure seven hundred or whatever one hundreds millions.

00:12:47
Speaker 4: That was, Yeah, I think it would. I mean, I think when you get to that four hundred and sixty five million dollars, you know the good part of that deal is JMI is guaranteeing UK an amount of money. But you know they're gonna say, Okay, Matt Jones gives a million dollars for players to UK, it goes through JMI, and JMI is going to count that towards the four hundred and sixty five million dollars.

00:13:13
Speaker 7: Okay, all right, thanks for your answer. Appreciate it. You guys, have a good day.

00:13:17
Speaker 4: Appreciate the call. So yes, I heard that the guy from JMI was doing an interview earlier today on Tom Leach. I did not hear it, but Paul Archie is his name, so I don't know if he gave more details or not.

00:13:32
Speaker 6: Usually a Leech Report listener didn't catch that.

00:13:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's go to Joe. Go ahead, Joe, Hey, Matt.

00:13:39
Speaker 8: Sometimes when sports fans do things, you guys take a poll whether it was cool or weird. I have one of those for you if you want not really to go for it. So I'll preface it real quick by saying, my brother and I are kind of os OCD about making lists of things like concepts. We've been to game stadiums, that type of thing. I've never known anyone who does what he does. A year before you and I were born, he started a list of every movie he's ever been to at the theater. He's kept it now for about forty eight forty nine years.

00:14:13
Speaker 7: Amazing is that?

00:14:15
Speaker 8: And he rates them one to ten and he has them now. He's since moved it from pen and paper to excel or whatever.

00:14:21
Speaker 4: Hey, it's awesome. That's not weird. That's not weird. I mean I just we were just talking about the letterboxed app that like made me think of it. Yes, all of America is doing that, So no, I don't think it's awesome. I think anybody who takes the time to dedicate that much time to keeping track of their thing, Like I'm reading fifty two books this year, or trying to. I write them each down after I'm planning on at some point with Mario filming little TikTok things writing them. I finished, like twenty nine. I've written them all down. I've written my review of them. So if I can do it for a few months, I can't say it's weird. For your friend who have done it for that long, I think it's kind of cool.

00:14:58
Speaker 8: Actually, I will send you the screenshot of movies one through twenty two.

00:15:06
Speaker 4: I can't call it awesome. Thank you.

00:15:08
Speaker 6: I think it's awesome, right, I won't call that weird, I'll call it awesome. My dad writes down every golf course he's played, not like every time he plays one, but like a new one, to know every place he's been.

00:15:16
Speaker 4: Oh see, so it's just being neurotic, it's not being weird. Shady Rays is where you can get sunglasses that are wonderful. I took I got two pairs after we were out there on Friday, used in my entire trip. I think they've even gotten better because they have these new it's called like power something. But they're wonderful and they're there for you at Shady rays dot com. They've got the best return policy and they're a Kentucky based company. Will be in Louisville for a show in a couple of months. You can go see him. It's at Shady Rays one in Louisville, one in Lexington. Online at shady rays dot com the best sunglasses you can buy. We'll take a break. Be right Back's KISR. Welcome back, Take you some more. It's radio eight nine two eight twenty two eighty seven. Text message seven machine text machine seven seven two seven seven four five two five four one person rights Matt. Of the books you've read this year, give me the five best. All right, I'm looking at my list here. See. If I didn't have this list, I couldn't do it because I wouldn't remember them all. Uh, Martyr Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow. I read that one. I regret almost everything. That's that book where the guy who's like a restaurant guy. That was really good. Uh. I just finished My Brilliant Friend, and I really liked that one. Well that's more like I think it's more probably aimed at women, but I really liked it. And then You Dreamed of Empires, which is like this that book, the crazy book about like Cortes and Montezuma, and then it's like a fever dream. It's weird. You got to get yourself ready for how weird it is. But I really liked it. I'll probably read that one again, and I never read anything again.

00:16:58
Speaker 6: So that's a big recommendation from the bunch.

00:17:00
Speaker 4: You Dreamed of Empires is great. What I would suggest to you is go back and actually get on wikiped or something and read the story of Coortz and Montezuma before you do it, so you know what actually kind of happened, so that you realize what's like a fever dream and what's not. I didn't do that. It took me a while fear out what in the world was going on. So but then once I did, I was glad. I was good. So those are the those are the recommendations. By the way, the four hundred and sixty five million dollars to UK, just to be clear from JMI, it does not include the past money. So they expect to get over the next fifteen years four hundred and sixty five million dollars in money. So that would be thirty one million dollars a year or something like that. That sounds great. That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money.

00:17:47
Speaker 6: Go get me, Stokes. Money sounds good. Go go good players.

00:17:50
Speaker 4: But I'm with you. You've you've convinced me. I don't. The amounts of money are irrelevant to me. Let me see what the roster is when it starts, and if the roster is good, then that was a good amount of money.

00:18:01
Speaker 6: I'm a fan of the basketball and the football team, not the accounting department. Y'all figure it out. Just put the best team out there you can.

00:18:07
Speaker 4: The Raiders had practice apparently two days ago, Shannon and they were practicing the tush push and seventy three year old Pete Carroll jumped in on the defense to try to stop it.

00:18:18
Speaker 3: Oh well, I'm sure that didn't go too well for him. I didn't see the video, but I can't.

00:18:22
Speaker 4: Apparently jumped on the pile while everybody was like in a pile after the tush push and he, without a helmet, jumped into the pile. If you're a player, do you like that or you like you're seventy one years old? Man, be careful.

00:18:37
Speaker 3: Absolutely love it that he's in his seventies and still has that kind of fire that he would jump in on a dog pile. I absolutely love it. How you can love that as a player, I mean.

00:18:46
Speaker 4: I'd love it as long as I didn't have to carry him off the field.

00:18:48
Speaker 3: He's doing it without a helmet, without a helmet, he's doing something he's not asking his players to do.

00:18:55
Speaker 6: When Vrabel was with the Titans, he would do this stuff and I thought it was so cool. And Rabel's still athletic and you know, decades younger than Pete Carroll.

00:19:02
Speaker 4: I think it's awesome. Seventy one, I mean like, that's that's my mom jumping on the pile. Love it and those players probably love it or yes, he Carroll seems like a fund Maybe before first game he'll, you know, head some head but somebody and split himself open, really get him. Mark Stoops would do that. I could see it. He's he's got.

00:19:22
Speaker 6: He's like robotic now with his ankle and they whatever. I worry about him hurting himself. Carol's a young seventy one or.

00:19:28
Speaker 4: Whatever he is. Which Kentucky coach do you think would be more likely to jump into the game.

00:19:34
Speaker 6: Well, of practice as a coach that's not currently at Kentucky, that's somewhere else that would be pretty wild at Tulane of the current coaches, or just.

00:19:43
Speaker 4: In general, what coach have we had that you could see jumping into the dog pile or in a basketball game saying bring it on? Well, I could see Pope calling out right now. I could see Pope going, come on, Jayden, you failed the driver's test. See if you can score on me.

00:19:58
Speaker 6: Minji one I could see.

00:20:02
Speaker 4: I bet Benjie has tried to take somebody's legs out in the double play before. I think Stuuves would.

00:20:07
Speaker 6: He's just a little banged up at the moment. We don't need him any more procedures.

00:20:10
Speaker 4: James, go ahead, James.

00:20:14
Speaker 9: Hey, guys, first time median time?

00:20:16
Speaker 4: Who are.

00:20:19
Speaker 9: I got a couple of things. I've been listening to the podcast for a while and I've been bonding with my eight and four year old, got them listening to it. They love it as well.

00:20:29
Speaker 4: Hello you old.

00:20:30
Speaker 9: So we appreciate the show. Second thing, I know you guys have been kind of big off and on last few weeks about conspiracy theories. So I got one for you.

00:20:41
Speaker 4: Okay.

00:20:44
Speaker 9: I think that maybe coach cal left for Arkansas because he's seen Indiana coming up on the schedule this year and he's scared to play him.

00:20:53
Speaker 4: Well, he's scared to go to Bloomington. I don't know if he's I don't think he was scared to play Indiana, but I definitely think he was scared to go to Bloomington. I appreciate the call. He didn't want to. I say this a lot. You know, I don't like Indiana. I like to mock them. Still, I would say second best college basketball environment I've ever been in. The two thousandth two Duke Carolina game was the wildest and I don't think anything will ever top it. It was like with number one versus number two. I stormed the court for North Carolina when they won, didn't get arrested either, even though I was on the road. I think Kentucky Indiana was second. And now I think there's some Kentucky games where we were home where it would be next. But I it's to me. The Kentucky Indiana game in twenty twelve was the wildest atmosphere I've seen of a Kentucky game in my lifetime. Would you agree with that? Me too?

00:21:52
Speaker 6: Not really even close. They were out of their minds. The caller was half right. When the series was scheduled. Bloomington was last for like twenty twenty nine, so we knew he was leaving. Because I think cal Nwy wouldn't be here in twenty twenty nine. Who we knew he was leaving, Jose, Go ahead, Jose.

00:22:10
Speaker 10: So I want to get you guys' opinion on something. When I did this, my wife called me stupid, But I want somebody to hopefully be on my side. I U, what do you guys think about spending money for the right to buy a ticket for the FIFA World Cup next year without knowing the game or the you're getting.

00:22:32
Speaker 4: I'm for it, do it because I went when I went to the europe European Championships last year, I just picked random games. I didn't care who was playing. It's still such an awesome cultural experience, just like and then next year it's it's in our country. You're probably going to like Cincinnati or Nashville or am I right about that? San Francisco, San Francisco? Yeah, and you're in San Francisco. So whatever country it is, there'll be people from it. I say, you do it. I mean, what's the worst it could be? Like, it's still gonna be awesome. I think you definitely do it.

00:23:11
Speaker 11: All right.

00:23:12
Speaker 4: I appreciate called it's someone who's done it. I mean I literally went to three games. It was like Slovaki versus Switzerland, and it was still awesome. You can't really, like, you can't recreate moments like that. So if you have a chance to go, go we'll take a break. Be right back. IT'SKSR. TJ.

Speaker 4: Good, all right. But again a lot of these places, all right. So now the question is who do you want to see? Number one? You just shan't and you want to see Brazil. Okay, the Brazilian fans. They dance the all time. The women. Stop it. If there's a country with more beautiful women than Brazil, I haven't seen it, so stop it right there. They danced the whole game. They never stop the music, It just keeps playing and they don't stop dancing. They can be down.

00:25:54
Speaker 5: You wouldn't be able to keep your eye on the game though.

00:25:56
Speaker 4: I'd just be dancing. It wouldn't matter. So Brazil's number one. One Argentina is up there. You'd want to see, all right, So let's go to Europe if they make it. Nobody is more fun than the Scottish people. Nobody. Scottish people are the most I don't know if they'll make it, but the Scottish people are the most fun people maybe in the world.

00:26:18
Speaker 6: I went to Scotland versus Spain and Yankee Stadium and I don't know that I've been to a better sports.

00:26:23
Speaker 4: Got nothing more fun than Scotland. I went to a European game of Scottish people. I still keep in contact with the dudes I met on the train that I ended up sitting with. They sent me a thing that said congrats. They one of them listened to podcast congrats on the NFL podcast. So shout out to you Scottish guys. Spain, you mentioned another one awesome Portugal awesome. The British fans are in a bad mood because they know they're never gonna win. What else, French, Nih, Germany, n then go to a team that like has never been or hasn't been in a while, they get really excited right like they're just happy to be there. And then there'll be a team from either like Australia or New Zealand, that it will make it. They're fun too, That's who I would say. But number one is I will I will go where Brazil is if I have to.

00:27:18
Speaker 6: Sneak in, I would pick out in La as my venue and hope I get Mexico nearby and that they would just.

00:27:24
Speaker 4: Come take over. Mexico would be great to in La. The Mexican fans are are insane, but nobody's like Brazil. Nobody. It's just a different thing.

00:27:36
Speaker 6: I really wouldn't care who I got, though. Just seeing a World Cup in person would be awesome.

00:27:41
Speaker 4: What you don't want is a country that's like like you don't want, like Norway. They're not that x They're just like we're over here being Norway like Borway, Yeah, exactly, more like Borway. You would need somebody with with with.

00:27:57
Speaker 6: I would also like the huge underdog, even though the probably wouldn't have a lot of hands with them. I would just I would be their fans. I'd wear the floor.

00:28:02
Speaker 4: That's what it was with me with Slovakia all these they were like, we're not gonna win, We're just gonna Shannon Slovak everywhere, you know, that was their exact word. So that was what they did, and so that was a that's a lot of fun.

00:28:18
Speaker 6: Give me Ivory Coast versus England and I am the Ivory Coast is.

00:28:25
Speaker 4: Cameroon like Ivory Coast. Yeah, that's what you want to do, and it's going to be in America, and I hope we embraced because I think it's gonna be a lot of fun having all those people. It's just gonna be Its gonna be cool. Blake, go ahead, Blake.

00:28:40
Speaker 12: Hey guys, So we were talking about the I guess maybe Louisville will be the first like private equity team in sports and college sports? Are we now the first team that had become the like private equity owned team? And is that kind of a ks our curse on that or not?

00:29:00
Speaker 4: I don't think it's the same thing exactly. So like private equity would include if you if you were to have a private equity team like invest in Louisville, they would get a percentage of all Louisville profits for everything including for like ticket sales, suites, all that. This jmideal, as I understand, it is about merchandise, naming rights and things like media rights, and so it's it's you could make a strong argument that they are buying part but it's also fifteen years, so it's term limited, which is a little different than private equity. So no, I wouldn't say this is private equity in the sense of what I think some teams are going to do in the future. Okay, cool. So's to give you an example, Like when I I sold fifty one percent of OVW, I now have, along with my partners, forty nine percent. I can't get that fifty one pack if that guy that runs it decides to do something that I hate, there's really nothing I can do about it. UK still will get it back in fifteen years. I'm sure there are provisions that keep that allow them to still make the decision. So I just I don't think it's the same thing.

00:30:18
Speaker 12: So it's more like a licensing agreement than anything else.

00:30:21
Speaker 4: So it's just a licensing agreement though, but they are licensing away a massive part of what it means to be an athletics department, including the getting of players.

00:30:34
Speaker 12: Right, and does that have anything to do with how they separated the athletic department into the ELF like the separate LLC too, or is that's completely cor.

00:30:42
Speaker 4: I'm sure it does. I'm sure it does, but as not I'm not going to claim to be like a high level corporate lawyer and be able to tell you why from a business perspective it does. But I'm sure that it made that deal a lot easier because the very first board meeting of the new I have at LCS where they announced this, So I have to assume that it had something to do with it. Okay, cool, I appreciate the call. Thank you, Chad in Wisconsin. Go ahead chat.

00:31:12
Speaker 13: Longtime listener, first time caller who I was just calling because y'all were talking about the George Webb cheeseburgers earlier.

00:31:22
Speaker 4: Okay, so you do you live up there?

00:31:25
Speaker 13: Yes, I'm from Kentucky. I used to bring you the big cases of skittles back in the day.

00:31:30
Speaker 4: Oh those were good. I still I still have some because I couldn't eat them all. Thank you. So tell me, like, are they Are you going to get one of the burgers?

00:31:39
Speaker 13: No, I'm not going there. I'm not waiting one.

00:31:42
Speaker 4: First of all, are they good? Have you ever eaten at George Webb?

00:31:46
Speaker 13: It's like the waffle House of the North, Oh.

00:31:50
Speaker 4: Okay, so it's not like a mom and it's not like a mom and pop.

00:31:56
Speaker 9: No, it's a chain.

00:31:57
Speaker 4: Well that's a lot less interesting. All right, Well, are people in Milwaukee excited they've.

00:32:04
Speaker 13: Been talking about these burgers for a month.

00:32:08
Speaker 4: Well, I guess that means they are. Well, I appreciate the call and thank you for the skittles over the year. I get something. Maybe they got the worth in advertising themselves.

00:32:17
Speaker 6: I guess it takes a little bit out of the fund. Knowing it's a big entity with chains all over the state. I thought it was gonna literally be a mom and a pop over a grill at their little shop.

00:32:26
Speaker 4: It's gonna be Georgia.

00:32:27
Speaker 6: Now now that it's like the Wisconsin or the McDonald's of Wisconsin, it's a little different.

00:32:32
Speaker 4: Do you remember when we went to Milwaukee for the for the NCAA tournament, Myron told us we had to go get a Burger SPS. We never made it.

00:32:41
Speaker 6: Oh, so this was not that the cops could never do this. They're doing too well.

00:32:47
Speaker 4: So you think this is like to save George Webb, They're gonna give three hundred thousand burgers away to save the.

00:32:53
Speaker 6: Well, I'm just when you when you think of burgers. I mean, how many people said cops. We didn't hear a lot of times. Yeah, so I think cops.

00:32:59
Speaker 4: Is doing just fun.

00:33:00
Speaker 6: Okay, I'm a little mad we didn't get to that place. It looks good. So many people recommend it.

00:33:05
Speaker 4: To Yeah we did. That's next time. Next time, we'll do it, all right, real quick? Draft kings tonight. You can, by the way, you can bet five dollars. You can get up to one hundred and fifty and bonus bets there are. I'm sitting here looking at games. Reds are off tonight, so I'm just gonna randomly, uh pick one. How about this Little League Baseball World Series Shannon uh Taypee Taipei Taipei, Chinese Taipei plays Chiawa Chihuahua Mexico. Chihuahua, Wow, Chihuahua Mexico versus Chinese Taipei. Who you got?

00:33:44
Speaker 5: Give me? Give me Chihuahua Mexico.

00:33:47

00:33:55
Speaker 4: Like the foodle who you got. I gotta go with the Chiuaha, I'm gonna go with I'm gonna go with Chinese tape. And then in the other in the nightcap, Sioux Falls. South Dakota plays Ouchelan Township, Pennsylvania.

00:34:09
Speaker 3: Pennsylvania the home of the World Series, right, so we gotta go with Pennsylvania.

00:34:14
Speaker 4: They got a home field advantage.

00:34:15
Speaker 6: I was just in South Dakota. I feel like I'm I'm local now, so I'm rolling with my South Dakotians.

00:34:20
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go Pennsylvania. Let's do one more. Why not Braintree, Massachusetts.

00:34:26
Speaker 5: That is not a place.

00:34:27
Speaker 4: It is Braintree, Massachusetts versus Hermo, South Carolina.

00:34:34
Speaker 5: Well, this is not a thinking game. So I'm gonna go with the South Carolina team.

00:34:42
Speaker 4: Chess Braintree. This ain't know who's the smartest. Kids.

00:34:46
Speaker 6: Gotta go with SEC Country. I'll take South Carolina.

00:34:48
Speaker 4: I feel like Irmo's gotta be good, right, and then I think this is gonna be around Burno Chechnia or Berno Chechia versus Tokyo Japan.

00:35:00
Speaker 5: Tokyo, right like Japan.

00:35:03
Speaker 4: Did they even they play baseball in the Czech Republic.

00:35:07
Speaker 6: I'm taking the Bernao. I'm taking they don't even play baseball.

00:35:12
Speaker 4: In the check they're about they're about to Dude, you gotta take Tokyo's. That's that's my Matt Jones Lock of the Week at Draft Kings.

00:35:21
Speaker 5: They did make it this far, So these these teams got I.

00:35:23
Speaker 4: Think they have to take someone from Europe. So Tokyo is the lock of the year. We'll take a break break back. It's Kasar, welcome back, take you sports Radio. I have not this is just I just see the headline. I'm not even going to read the story because I think the headline is better than the story can be. Denver Nuggets being sued by their mascot. I don't even want to know why. I just want to picture in court the mascot walking out in his year and saying your honor and then stating his claim.

00:36:00
Speaker 6: I think that could be maybe get injured?

00:36:02
Speaker 4: Yeah, injured? About an injury? I can't imagine. Can't imagine the mascot was sexually harassed the kiss cam. I'm tired of doing the kiss cam. That would be I would think it would have to be something with an injury.

00:36:18
Speaker 3: I think that's the mascot that jumps on the trampoline and does like the flips and the dunks. I think that's the mask.

00:36:24
Speaker 4: I mean, so injury's probably a pretty problem.

00:36:26
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I hope.

00:36:27
Speaker 6: I never get the answer.

00:36:28
Speaker 4: I just under he tried to collectively bargain with the other mascots, and they were you want to know the.

00:36:36
Speaker 5: Answer, it's in another headline.

00:36:39
Speaker 4: Do you want the answer?

00:36:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, wrong, full termination amid health recovery.

00:36:47
Speaker 4: Okay, so health recovery. So it's probably an injury, yep.

00:36:50
Speaker 3: And they he probably didn't recover quick enough and they got somebody.

00:36:56
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's mean he was the mascot.

00:37:00
Speaker 5: Who he was though, I mean somebody elseuld put the costume on.

00:37:02
Speaker 4: Well, that is true, Like you didn't. You don't go, man, I missed the other guy. See.

00:37:06
Speaker 6: I liked it better my brain that the actual mascot was the one suing the.

00:37:12
Speaker 4: I wish it was the mascot your honor. They've discriminated against me as a as a b lion. They're always favoring the cows. I'm a lion. I said, it's a lion. What is it?

00:37:27
Speaker 6: It is lion ish. I mean they don't have a nugget out there. It's like a little animal I can't think of.

00:37:33
Speaker 4: I think that's it's like a little cat or something, isn't it. Yeah, some kind of cat Adam, go ahead, anymore.

00:37:41
Speaker 5: It's a mountain lion. It's a mountain, a mountain lion.

00:37:45
Speaker 4: Got you, Adam, go.

00:37:46
Speaker 11: Ahead first time? J Locus Patrick Patrickson, long time.

00:37:52
Speaker 4: Wow, that is that goes way back? My friend, Yes, that's two thousand and seven.

00:37:58
Speaker 11: Yes, I'm a county boy too. Uh. And my buddy, he just was like, hey man, there's a guy from Middlesborough that has started this website. You got and listen. I had dial up brother and I would listen because I lived in the holler and I would try to get on to figure.

00:38:14
Speaker 4: Out what was uh what holler did you live in?

00:38:19
Speaker 11: I live up Hunter Holler in Little Clerk up Little Claire Creek, gets up by the up one ninety down.

00:38:25
Speaker 4: Say that again. You're in Hunter haller in little I think did you say Claire Creek? You met Clear Creek? Right?

00:38:32
Speaker 8: Yes?

00:38:32
Speaker 11: Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah up.

00:38:35
Speaker 4: There, okay, yeah, next to the there's like a seminary or whatever up there, like a Bible college.

00:38:41
Speaker 11: Yes, yeah, yeah. My my house is literally four minutes away from that.

00:38:45
Speaker 4: All right, gotcha.

00:38:48
Speaker 11: The reason why it was Conning. It's a little a little different route today, but I have literally drove seventy five my whole entire life. I was from a line or so from Detroit all the way down to Knoxville. I'm pretty pretty good at seventy five. Well, uh, what's the clear water? The other day? And I have got to tell you, I always thought o'his was the worst drivers. But let me tell you. Is it just me?

00:39:14
Speaker 9: Or does Georgia over top.

00:39:17
Speaker 11: O hines because they cannot drive work a lig on seventy five?

00:39:23
Speaker 8: Is it just me?

00:39:24
Speaker 4: Is just me? Is it just you? I don't know if it's just you, but I like it. I think Seth, Seth. Since you're from Clear Creek, Adam, I think you should, Adam, Adam, since you're from Clear Creek, I think you should. I think you should just call in with your thoughts. I like the Georgians can't drive. They're even worse than o'hones.

00:39:47
Speaker 11: Hey, I'll tell and I'll tell you KSP Kentucky State Police.

00:39:51
Speaker 13: If you see a Georgia.

00:39:52
Speaker 11: Driver, hey, just pull them over, even if you got to put something in their truck. What I'm just saying, I'm just saying, but wherever you gotta do, just do it. I pulled, I was driving, I was driving, and you got timer. Am, I, Hey, hey, I was coming out of the tunnel the other day and I'm yeah this, can you hear me? Okay, I was coming out of the tunnel in the left lane. They was somebody pull pulling out of l M you well, there was nobody in the right line lane. So I just thought, okay, they're they're not going to pull it out in front of me. They're gonna get this fast one or getting the swung lane. Were sure enough, man, you are? They pulled right out in front of me. And then now and then you know, I'm laid back. I'm like that's old. Then then they pulled. Then they take the next left at that subway Frosty Free. And when I say, it pissed me off so bad. I literally got over in the turning lane, got on his ass, and scared the ever loving doll crap in him. So Georgia kspe you see him pull them over, do whatever you gotta do to get them off the road.

00:41:16
Speaker 4: Thank you, Adam, I appreciate it. Wow, that's one of my favorite calls in a long time. Adam from Clearcreek. We need to hear more from Adam Hunter. Holler, I have a mascot detail. This guy's really like that guy. Go ahead.

00:41:30
Speaker 6: This guy's dad was the mascot for thirty years and he grew up in the locker room and says he's doing his homework while his dad was practicing being the mask.

00:41:37
Speaker 4: He's a legacy mascot.

00:41:39
Speaker 6: Yeah, this changes things for me. His dad was the original cat. He says, as a kid, I would go to and do my homework in the locker room. My dad was getting ready, so he was the little cat. Yep, and he was fired for what was his injury? Has a hip injury, hit some hip pain.

00:41:55
Speaker 5: Being a mask. I'll do that to you.

00:41:57
Speaker 4: I would think if you're flipping like that, I'm on his side. I feel like you.

00:42:01
Speaker 6: Oh, it's a family tradition. Wouldn' the Nuggets want that story? Maybe he has a kid one day and then you got a little grandkid.

00:42:07
Speaker 4: Wow, mascot. I like the idea though that, Like you're a father and you're like son. One day you're gonna be like me. You're gonna be in this mountain lion.

00:42:17
Speaker 5: Custs, stinky, sweaty.

00:42:19
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're going to follow in my stank footsteps, and you're gonna be jumping off the trampoline to the sounds of Cisco at a game in the future.

00:42:31
Speaker 6: It says in the interview, I've love Rocky my entire life. It's in my blood. So I think your scenario is how he was raised.

00:42:41
Speaker 4: If you, if you put this case in front of a jury in Denver Nuggets, you're gonna get taken to the bank. You better settle and bring back my hip addled mascot. We'll see you tomorrow at the State Fair. It's big. Kentucky Sports Radio
