Speaker 3: Welcome to hour two of Kentucky's Sports Radio, present it by a Stockton Mortgage. Now Here's Matt Jones.

00:01:05
Speaker 4: Welcome back out number two Kentucky Sports Radio eight five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. Here it's ks Bar and Grill. Folks ordering this morning already seven seven two seven seven four five two five four big Happy birthday coming this weekend to our friend Dick Tamer in Middlesbrough. Dick Tamer, Yes, so happy birthday you, Dick. Hope you have a great weekend. Joe Packs Okay, so Joe's driving. Apparently people call it Joe Packs Joe Pax. I just showed you a picture that looks like a place that you would produce some pretty amazing fried chicken, don't you think after you.

00:01:37
Speaker 5: Show me the picture? I mean he looked up how long it was gonna take to get there. It's two and a half hours from Lexington, but may.

00:01:42
Speaker 4: Be worth it. You think it's worth it, Maybe worth it to go eat. It looks like, though, the kind of place that would have fried. You're looking skeptical, Mario. I mean, maybe we'll send you on a food review like that one kid I always see on TikTok he gave us. He gave his first bad food review, by the way, You know that one kid out showing you about I saw he gave his first bad food review to a place I'm not gonna say where it was. I don't want to throw him under the bus, but I felt bad. He's he always likes every single place he eats, and he didn't like this one place he was a place in Louisill didn't like him. That's a tough look.

00:02:12
Speaker 6: He's got a big following, So yes, I make the trip of Mario, though.

00:02:15
Speaker 4: If I'm nine two eight twenty two eighty seven. Before we go to the phones, a couple of things. Nate Oates was in Lexington yesterday. Why was he in Lexington yesterday? I don't know. He was on a plane flu commercial. That's also I thought he was on and he was on a Delta flight. Had not one, not two, but three different people from three different plane angles take a picture of him in the plane, which I gotta tell you, man, Nate, you can't come to Lexi to not have people know who you like. When I see three different angles of you on the plane, then I know you're on the plane. Yeah, he must not know the strength of v different numbers. But he was in Lexington, so you want to just wildly speculate it would Travis Perry be a Nate Oates kind of player. It was actually the Alabama game where he's seen, That's true. It was the Alabama games where which kind of made me wonder how he was gonna play at Kentucky. Would be very ironic if he ended up going to Alabama.

00:03:08
Speaker 6: Right, they like shooters, wouldn't surprise me. Maybe he just wanted to take in Keenland on a Thursday.

00:03:13
Speaker 4: Could be that could be it. My thought went to Taylor Kenny.

00:03:16
Speaker 5: I mean, I know he could have flown into Cincinnati, but maybe he couldn't get a flight into Cincinnati, so you had to fly.

00:03:21
Speaker 4: How you would fly to Lexington to go see a kid in Newport? You'd fly to sent It.

00:03:25
Speaker 5: I gonnay, unless he had to do it today and he couldn't get a flight there. Would he be coming in to meet with Otega trust trying to convince him to go.

00:03:31
Speaker 4: To Wait a minute, well, first of all, take a kick. He's can't getting the portal. I tried. He didn't meanner the point? Would you just throw that in there? We were spitballing? Yeah, I didn't like that.

00:03:41
Speaker 6: Spitball Maybe rented a car and went to Joe's Fried Chicken after reading that story.

00:03:46
Speaker 4: Yeah, well anyway, so, uh, I'm gonna gas threw just guessing you would think maybe Travis Perry, right.

00:03:51
Speaker 6: Yeah, if it's basketball related, I don't know much much else is gonna be other than Travis Perry. I'll tell myself Keenland though, that he's not talking to Perry.

00:03:59
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:04:00
Speaker 6: SEC schools have talked to Perry though, so it wouldn't shock me.

00:04:03
Speaker 4: Is he gonna You think he's gonna end up in the SEC?

00:04:05
Speaker 6: I told you all that on Monday. That's what I expect. You expect him at Old miss I would say they're the leader. I did not expect that many schools to reach out to him. I know Flora is interested in Missouri.

00:04:15
Speaker 4: Calla Perry who didn't even want to recruit him.

00:04:20
Speaker 6: What if he I don't want him to leave, But I'm glad that these schools are reaching out to him because I feel like our fan base was a little too harsh in some of the schools. There were like trying to push him off to Murray and Bellerman. I think people have been a little too critical of Travis Perry. The fact that all these coaches are talking to him. It says he's he has value, even though he does have some flaws.

00:04:39
Speaker 4: What at the end of the day with Travis are you Let's just say you were Travis Perry's dad, okay, and he came to you and said, Dad, what should I do? Excuse me? Yeah, Dad? What should I do? Would you have said gut it out another year at Kentucky or would you have said look somewhere else. Let's assume the money would be equal.

00:05:02
Speaker 6: If the money's equal, I would encourage him to stay home. But if they're promising more money and more playing time, I don't care how much you grew up love in Kentucky. You at some point got to take care of yourself.

00:05:12
Speaker 4: So what's the difference in amount of money. Let's just say this is just I'm just ballparking. Let's say he was making two hundred thousand dollars. What's the amount of money more that would make you go, I'm going to leave Kentucky and go to Old Miss? Would it be? I think we all would agree. If it was four hundred, you probably go, yeah. Do you go at three hundred? You gotta remember he.

00:05:37
Speaker 6: Was close to Old Miss anyway, in the original recruitment, they were very high up. So he already has that connection, you know, I know he grew up Kentucky. He had it on his walls. We all think of Wildcat forever. But he he really considered other schools your first time around. So if they came by and doubled the money and said, okay, three hundred plus, we don't have nearly this crowded of a backcourt.

00:05:57
Speaker 4: So that's one hundred thousand more dollars.

00:05:59
Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, I think you gotta consider he's not gonna go pro and make a ton of money to.

00:06:03
Speaker 4: Fifty Likedrew said, fifty thousand more dollars.

00:06:08
Speaker 5: Ole Miss was the first school to even really recruit him.

00:06:11
Speaker 4: Answering the questions fifty thousand more dollars, yes or no.

00:06:15
Speaker 5: You're a competitor man, you want to play, and if somebody's offered me more money into school, I already like I'm probably taking.

00:06:21
Speaker 4: It even episode. Yes, I might even go even money.

00:06:25
Speaker 7: Even money you would leave if I'm gonna if I just want to go play somewhere, if I just want to go and be on the court and compete and play less one hundred and fifty, I'm not going less, Well I'm not going less.

00:06:36
Speaker 4: Okay, So you're willing to go for the same money, but you wouldn't go for less money.

00:06:41
Speaker 5: If I knew I was gonna have a better chance to get on the court and play.

00:06:44
Speaker 4: Okay, school, So now, let's let's assume Travis Perry goes to an SEC school old Man, Well, take Arkansas out of it. Let's see me. Let's assume he goes to old miss Alabama, Florida.

00:06:58
Speaker 8: Missouri, then Belts also on the list.

00:07:01
Speaker 4: All right, let's assume he goes to one of those schools he comes into rupt. Would we all agree he would get a round of applause? I think so. It's hard. There are people online.

00:07:11
Speaker 6: You gotta remind yourself this is just a few anonymous people being jerks on the internet.

00:07:16
Speaker 4: I think he gets a round of applause. Yeah, Now, what happens if he goes to another school and scores fifteen points against us?

00:07:28
Speaker 8: We should have kept him on the team.

00:07:31
Speaker 4: Why didn't keep him?

00:07:33
Speaker 8: That's what you're gonna get.

00:07:35
Speaker 4: That's happened before, you know, with Chris Lofton and Chris Lofton. Though Chris Lofton, we didn't recruit him, but I don't, but it was because we had like four Like, there's a belief, which I'm not saying is true, that Travis Perry there's a belief amongst some of our fans he's not good enough to play. Now. I don't necessarily believe that, but there's a group of people that believe that. Does I mean, does let me put a different Is there any fan that thinks Travis Perry should be the starting point guard next year? No? Not what the roster we got right now? Okay, so let's assume that's the case. Is there any fan out there that thinks he should have the same role next year he had last year, which is to be the number when people got hurt, the number one point guard off the bench, that maybe we shouldn't have gone and gotten Aberdeen and we should have left him. Does anybody believe that? I think there are fans. I think there are something believed.

00:08:29
Speaker 5: But I think we saw Colin Chandler even leap frogged him as far as being a backup point guard.

00:08:33
Speaker 4: So if old Miss Alabama Florida says you're the backup point guard, does our fan base believe Mark Pope should have said you're the backup point guard. My answer to that is no, I don't think Mark Pope should have said that, but him not saying it is probably why he left. So I guess what I'm saying is if he comes back here with another school and wins or plays, I still don't know what you wanted Mark Pope to do.

00:09:02
Speaker 6: Yeah, right, And my understanding is some of these offers are more money too, so it's a combination of playing opportunity and more money.

00:09:10
Speaker 4: That's why he has to consider this. Would you rather Kentucky not have gotten Jaden quaintance to make for the money that they paid him to make sure Travis Perry's stand.

00:09:20
Speaker 5: No, No, I guess the argument is Aberdeen. I think when he came to Kentucky. I think that kind of sends the deal Travis anyway.

00:09:27
Speaker 4: So let's put it this way, would you rather have Aberdeen or Perry next year? Because ultimately that was the decision. I'm a big believer before you criticize somebody, you have to put yourself in their shoes and see what decision would you have made your flap plight faced with Travis Perry's folks say, if you get Aberdeen we're leaving. If you're Mark Pope, are you taking Aberdeen? Are you taking parent? Listen?

00:09:56
Speaker 6: I love Travis Perry, and I think people are being too critical. But you have a job to have your best roster. And Aberdeen just won a national championship. Probably would have started at Florida if there weren't so loaded, So yes, you have to get out of your Dane Aberdeen, Shannon, who you getting?

00:10:07
Speaker 9: Gott?

00:10:07
Speaker 4: I get?

00:10:07
Speaker 3: I mean, the guy just won a national championship with Florida. Why would you not take that guy? He was projected to be in their starting lineup next year? You wouldn't take that guy? Of course you would.

00:10:15
Speaker 4: I love Travis Perry. He was in this bar his freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior year at the Stay, at the state championship. I love Travis Perry. It's a business. It is a business. You're taking Aberdeen. In my opinion, what are you doing? I am making unanimous? I think you do.

00:10:29
Speaker 5: I mean, the dude is a proven winner. Travis is still trying to prove himself. So I think you take Aberdeen?

00:10:36
Speaker 4: Okay, So where are unanimous? I guess I would ask the fans seven seven two seven seven four five two five four. What do you think? Because here's what I think is gonna happen. Let's say he goes to Vandy and he comes in here and scores fifteen, which is something I could see happening. Absolutely, it could happen. Then what is our fan base gonna say? I think that's gonna be interesting to see. Who's up next? Nathan, Nathan, go ahead, Nathan.

00:11:00
Speaker 10: Hey, I had a question about n I l So, if Mark Pope can raise between ten and twenty million dollars for NIL from private donors, why can't they just use that and then the part of the school page goes all to football and other sports.

00:11:20
Speaker 4: Or there or is there? Yeah, I mean they could. I mean I mean they could, and that might be a strategy that they use. I mean I mean they could. I think what Mark Pope would say is, why is it my responsibility to raise fifteen dollars?

00:11:37
Speaker 10: Yeah, if they can.

00:11:39
Speaker 4: Could do that, I'm sure. Go ahead.

00:11:45
Speaker 10: Huh oh sorry, Now I was if they had a GM or somebody, you know, with they could focus on raising money for that and then this part of the school goes to other things. The more people are probably more more willing to give money for better But.

00:12:01
Speaker 4: Again, Mark, you're still asking Mark. Mark Pope would probably say, and I appreciate the call, why should I have to raise all the money for football? Right yeah? And Mark Stoops would almost certainly say the same thing if it was opposite. So I mean, I in a perfect world, if Mark Pope could raise twenty million dollars and that's what you need, you could just go, well, we're not gonna use any of our school money because Mark can already do it. But then you're punishing it. Let me just put myself in that in those shoes. Sometimes at this radio station, this show generates so much revenue that we are asked in some ways to subsidize other parts of the business. And there's a part of me that goes, I understand that, But then there's a part of me going, you're punishing us for our success. Right, yes, I think that would be kind of what's happening in the situation you're talking about.

00:12:55
Speaker 5: So what if there is a booster they'd say, say Drew Franklin wants to donate five million dollars, but just basketball, then.

00:13:01
Speaker 4: You would do that. They would do that through Club Blue, and you could do that today and there are people that do that, and I would say there are more people that actually oddly do that for football because Mark Stoops has cultivated some really close personal relationships. There are donors who give money and they say this money is for football and that's how it's done. There are donors who go who give only to volleyball. I know of one who gives a decent sum of money, but only under the understanding this goes for volleyball. So that happens, I think quite a bit.

00:13:36
Speaker 6: I was about to say that about baseball. I know people that are cut a big check, but they say, I only want this to go to the baseball program.

00:13:41
Speaker 5: It's just so I won't change even under the new LLC, that part will not change.

00:13:46
Speaker 4: Well, again, this is very complicated. Part of the settlement with the court suggests that no inile money can be used to recruit. I've heard people say that no one believes that can be enforced, and it will not being forced. But in theory, that's what it's supposed to do in theory, in theory, in practice, I would be shocked if that is that was originally I was supposed to be in that work for about a week U this Mother's Day. Make your mom a great lunch or dinner with no Chay Linda Farms beef. How about that? That would be great for my mom. I could make her beef for a look, you would make her some beef. I don't know if she would like it, but I think it would be a wonderful gesture on my part. Would you grill from no Chay lendafarms dot com and call eight five nine seven oh seven, seven thousand and four. I put it on the grill because they have the best bet beef. They've got Tomahawks steaks, bone in Delmonico steaks. They're bone in Delmonico steaks are named to the fa are our name for the famous Delmonico steakhouse in New York. Okay, so no Chay Linda Farms go ahead and order. Tell them that KSR senate. They've got all the flavor, all the beef. They'll deliver it. It is no Chay lendofarms dot com. I went to their website yesterday. You kind of look. They got a new website, very nicely done, and you can order on there. It's no Cha Linda Farms dot com. We'll take a break it is lunch here on a Friday at KOs Bar. It's Kentucky sports radio worker back, it is Kentucky Sports Radio. Here, it's Chaos Bar and grill. Pat's in the house. How you doing, Pat? Gonna see you? I haven't seen you.

00:15:20
Speaker 5: Sh She's been by more remotes than anybody, now.

00:15:23
Speaker 4: That's probably true her and what's his face? Brian? That laughs really like big Brian Brian. Those are probably the two that have been to the most. We'll be doing some more summer remotes than we have. By the way, if you own a business, we have a new thing we're gonna do this summer where we will come to your place, but you can't have a crowd, So we'll do a remote at your place. But it's less like it doesn't cost as much, but we will come to your place, do the remote, give you the ads, but we don't have a crowd. And we're gonna do some of those hopefully for people who like want to have remotes, but it's expensive to have us for remotes maybe a little bit less expensive and we but we just don't bring the crowd. You can call iHeart and they can do that, and that's kind of a nice way to go to some different places. Yeah.

00:16:05
Speaker 5: Yeah, gmbilly kind of gave us our updated schedule of our remotes coming up this summer.

00:16:09
Speaker 4: We got a lot of them coming up. Yeah. One person, rights, Matt, I think you are unfair to Travis Perry because he's not from the six soh six. If he was from eastern Kentucky, you would have a much more powerful view that he should be on the team. No, I would not. I too much criticism over the years have always taken the view that why I want to have a Kentucky kid on the team, like a Kentucky kid just because I think that's good. You play the best players, You don't, I mean, you play the best players. This is as to quote John cal Perry, this is not for funsies, right, So we got to win and there will be nothing worse than playing all the kids that would make our heart full, and then we lose and then everybody gets mad at those kids, right. We don't want that. So while I'd love for Travis to be on the team, but like, let's be real, if we were playing next year. Again, I hate saying this because I think the kid's awesome and I want him to succeed, but if he were on the team next year, he would be the thir twelfth or thirteenth man. So I understand if someone else is offering him better than that, Drew, I understand why he would go.

00:17:24
Speaker 6: And you know, this is just the world right now with the nil Who's to say some of the Kentucky guys that are coming in, are already on the team or on down the road won't play a year and then go off somewhere because someone steals them. At the end of the day, your your opportunity, and your the paycheck you're gonna be getting is gonna win out over the Kentucky dream.

00:17:41
Speaker 4: What person writes Matt. My wife and I are huge fans of KSR, and we also like some of the shows on Barstools. So I was excited to tell my wife yesterday that you, Drew and Mario were going to the barstool Gala. My wife's first comment was, what in the world is Matt gonna wear? First of all, your wife does not have a lot of faith in my fashion. Maybe maybe correctly.

00:18:08
Speaker 5: I really think you should go with the Barney Purple Dinosaur suit.

00:18:11
Speaker 4: You order the Oaks Company. You can do that So there's a guy here in Lexington who apparently is like a high class fashion guy, and Albert Carture that's his name. What's his name? I think it's Albert Corture Couture, I believe so, and I and I have a person who knows him trying to get in touch with him, because I was like, hey, man, think about like this. If you make me look good with clothes, then that's gonna be like wow. If he did that with Matt, you can do that with anybody, can do that with anybody. But I guess it's derby season and he must be busy because I have so I don't know if Albert's out there. I already have a rain Couture jacket here you go from Amsterdam. I think if Albert Couture is out there, I would uh, I'll pay for it. I just need to know what to wear.

00:18:55
Speaker 6: I went the traditional Logans route yesterday. It's a good one.

00:18:58
Speaker 4: I was in there.

00:18:59
Speaker 6: Multiple people were asking if this was for the gala. I even had some nice women who heard the show asked if Ryan's okay. I kind of let him know that was a little bit of bit. Ryan's fine, But it's the talk of the lex and fashion scene right now?

00:19:10
Speaker 4: Do you know what you're gonna wear?

00:19:11
Speaker 11: Mario?

00:19:12
Speaker 4: Not yet? Okay, yeah, well I mean you. My guess is you'll make it work. When you're your age, you can wear most of you get older, it's got to be better because, like you know, the raw materials aren't quite as good as they were. I didn't wear that.

00:19:28
Speaker 6: I didn't go tuks, just regular black suit. Okay, I'm not going full black, a.

00:19:32
Speaker 4: Little bit spicier if I can find the if I can find the right thing, who's next, Adam, Adam, go ahead, Adam.

00:19:39
Speaker 9: I guys, I had a question in a comment question I was listening to the source of say and Tilgram and trum Smith said that they thought they had the vibe that Kentucky was the cool school. Again, not quite the same as when Cala Perry took over, but he said they both said that they thought that's what the vibe that they were getting with the Portal and High school recruiting.

00:20:06
Speaker 4: Well, they would know better than me. I don't. I don't know if that's I don't know if I totally agree with that. I mean, are we the cool school? We will never ever ever be a cooler school than we were from twenty ten to like twenty eighteen, Like we were the coolest school in bat And you know, do you know what I think changed that a little bit. Who's the player that might have changed that a little bit? Is that making us cool? No go in the like making us not the coolest anyone?

00:20:40
Speaker 6: Taking away?

00:20:41
Speaker 4: No not. I mean I still think we were when John Wall got here for eight or nine years, we were the coolest school in the country. I think Zion changed it a little bit. I think Zion flipped the view of what Duke was. Yes to people, they went from like the dorky whatever school too, and I think Duke then flipped it a little bit. But I don't think. I do think. I don't think we're considered like dorky. But I don't know if we're the hot school that's like, let's go there because that's where you know, I don't know if.

00:21:13
Speaker 6: That's the camp so right now where they're rich school, that's why they're probably.

00:21:16
Speaker 4: That's probably true.

00:21:18
Speaker 6: They're seeing these social media graphics, whether they're true or not. That's all over the internet.

00:21:21
Speaker 4: I mean, money will make you a lot cooler.

00:21:23
Speaker 9: That's true that that was going to lead into my comment. I saw a lot of just negative comments about you know, whatever the Nile number is, if it's twenty million, fifteen nine, whatever, it is a lot of negative comments about that. People positive like.

00:21:38
Speaker 4: Yeah, those people. If you're complaining that we're spending too much money on innil, Like, what do you want? I mean, you want to appreciate the call? Let me baseball is the only sport without a salary cap. Would you rather cheer for the Dodgers and the Yankees or would you rather cheer for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays? Like you want to cheer for the team that spends money, right.

00:22:06
Speaker 5: Yes, that's why are there are so many Yankees fans even in this town.

00:22:10
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh Pirates, Pittsburgh Pirates. Okay, you're a Pirates fan. I'm a Reds fan. What's hard is if we but if we had the ability to re sign Paul Schemes and Elie de la Cruz, wouldn't we say do it? Even if it was seventy five million dollars? It's not our money, right, we'd say do it. So I feel like UK fans should be happy there are people willing it's not your money. If they're doing it, be happy about it.

00:22:36
Speaker 6: Yeah, if we're not on these graphics of spending the most, we're not mentioned at all. And I'd much further be on these graphics if they're exaggerated as the school panel lot.

00:22:44
Speaker 4: I mean, you think Saint John's fans sit there and go, I wish we were back to spending no money. No, I mean I wouldn't think so, do you. No, they're relevant again.

00:22:54
Speaker 5: You know, the guy said he thought we were the cool school again, and it's hard to accept that when we have a pretty dorky head coach leading our way. He's self proclaimed.

00:23:03
Speaker 4: Or I mean you watched the team last year. I don't know that anybody looked at that team Shannon a lot where like these dudes are like the cool either.

00:23:12
Speaker 8: No, no, no, not that adjutive mean we had like.

00:23:15
Speaker 4: Four players on the team married, you know, I mean they were they were, they were just a different kind of group. Yeah. But at the end of the day, no matter how much we uh, how much we pay, whether they're cool or not, it's all about whether you win. If you win, you're cool. Be right back. TJ Smith, personal injury attorney, called TJ. He'll make them pay.

00:23:41

00:24:24
Speaker 4: That's what I was gonna say. Like, if it was a huge booster and he was visiting him, don't you think you'd get a he'd play for the private flight? You would think he was dealta premium economy. It was premium, but he wasn't even business class. He was premium economy. Those don't even come with free drinks.

00:24:43
Speaker 8: So it's a Scooper scotto.

00:24:44
Speaker 5: But this is no I'm not going either one. I'm just saying that's a.

00:24:47
Speaker 4: Are you.

00:24:49
Speaker 8: Sar anymore?

00:24:51
Speaker 4: Have you been scooped? Uh? Too scared for him? Uh? Well? The one that mongooth in walk. That's not a name. You've got to pronounce people's name ames correctly, or just say the kid from San Diego State he was.

00:25:03
Speaker 5: I felt really good about that information. That was good, solid information. It was mine decided to go back to San Diego State. But when we said it, it was good stuff.

00:25:12
Speaker 4: But doesn't it ultimately only matter when it's over. This is why you maybe say scoop today, but it could change. Okay, use those words.

00:25:23
Speaker 6: Yeah, not two commitments this week?

00:25:26
Speaker 4: Be ready? Yeah? Two commitments this week? Be ready? You're that's very defendive, spaniard.

00:25:30
Speaker 5: Good dude was ready to go, and then he went home and they couldn't couldn't wait on him to come back.

00:25:35
Speaker 4: Yes, they moved on with that move past you. Let's just play. I don't want to talk the details of this because it's I don't like talking about such subjects, but just make a bet. Will Shannon Sharpe ever be on espny.

00:25:49
Speaker 5: I don't know how they can to be honest. I mean not in this day and age and things like that.

00:25:53
Speaker 4: Having you, Yeah, Shannon, it's never a good idea when your defense is least the whole sex tape.

00:26:02
Speaker 8: Yeah, I wouldn't you know what I mean?

00:26:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like when that's your best argument, I don't know.

00:26:11
Speaker 8: At that point, maybe don't speak maybe fun yeah.

00:26:14
Speaker 4: And then forget about the details of it. Here's a little tip, all right, So everybody who has something happened, A lot of the famous ones they hire a PR company. Yes, Right, Scott Jennings who's on TV. His like his whole business is if somebody has a crisis, they call him and he tells them what to say. Right, So, like people have PR companies, And honestly, it's kind of like a lawyer. People always say, well, if you if you get arrested and you ask to talk to your lawyer, that must mean you're guilty. I always say to people, if you're guilty and you get arrested, call lawyer. But if you're innocent, you should really call a lawyer. Right. That's even more with Shandon Charp, I'm he has a PR company, I'm sure, but the PR company. He released his statement, and he released it as a text message he had received. Did anyone notice that, like, look at his statement online?

00:27:17
Speaker 8: Didn't bother to retype it professionally?

00:27:19
Speaker 4: He just shot He didn't. He it's a text message that's on the left of the screen, which means you got it sent to you. He shan He didn't even put it on the right side of the screen.

00:27:33
Speaker 3: For him, Like, let's not have Shannon Sharp involved in any of the released statements or anything.

00:27:38
Speaker 4: Could he not have at least like cut it so it was not obvious that it was sent to him from someone else.

00:27:45
Speaker 6: I save and copy the text and put it in a nice graphic, maybe even say it into a video.

00:27:50
Speaker 4: Call Mario and have him make a graphic. Mark can make a TikTok for him. I just when you are screenshotting a text message someone sent you as your statement, I'm just I feel like, dude, you need to take some time and because you're not hand on this right.

00:28:07
Speaker 6: Cat Williams Wardam earlier this year said everything's coming to light in twenty twenty five.

00:28:11
Speaker 4: Well, Cat Williams, but you you work at ESPN. Do you think they have to put it they will put it back. I mean no, no, not certainly, not now. I don't think so either certain certain I mean, you know, maybe one day, but not not anytime soon. Who's up next?

00:28:28
Speaker 8: Let's go to Arion?

00:28:30
Speaker 4: Arian?

00:28:30
Speaker 12: Go ahead, Arian, Hey, Matt, first time, long time?

00:28:34
Speaker 4: Who are uh?

00:28:36
Speaker 2: So?

00:28:37
Speaker 12: I just had a quick question. So, like you, I'm also a Chicago bearsan, and I was a little bit puzzled at the pick with Colton Lovelin. I know he was a great tight end at Michigan, but like we already have Cole Kames, and I just didn't think that was like a primary need that we needed to address. So I guess my question to you is, at that position in tenth overall, who would your ideal home run pick for the Bears have been?

00:29:03
Speaker 4: I was fine with the tight end because our new coach and again I don't really know what I'm talking about, but our new coach is very like his offense. You need athletic tight ends who can get down the field, and apparently this kid is that. I would admit I didn't know his name until five days ago, but I thought a tight end was fine. To be honest with you, I mean, I think the Bears can be good this year, and so I'm okay getting a threat to help us. Plus, I think again, from what I'm told, Ben Johnson plays two tight ends a lot, so now we have two tight ends.

00:29:36
Speaker 12: That draft analysis, Yeah, I'm really hopeful for Ben Johnson, but I just ideally for me would have been the home run.

00:29:46
Speaker 4: But I'm telling yeah, but he was gone, Yeah, he was gone. I'd love to have had gent. I appreciate the call. I'd love to have to have had him. He's going to the Raiders. Raiders.

00:29:56
Speaker 6: So did you think my Titans should have taken that trade that was full of picks?

00:30:00
Speaker 4: Because I do, Yes, I was not happy. I mean, if you listen to the experts, they say that cam Ward would have been like the fourth highest picked quarterback last year. So if that's true, you know, just punt. I mean, you got stink, you need everything. We could have got quarterback next year.

00:30:16
Speaker 6: We could have gotten Abdul Carter, who's a sure thing and who I wanted. Anyway, I was even though I'll get excited for Ward. I once it came out with the Giants offered, is like, how did you turn that down?

00:30:26
Speaker 4: I'll ask you a question, will will Levis start one game for any team next year? Remember that doesn't mean you have to be started day one. He could be a reserve that comes in. But if you if you had to make a bet, will Levis start one game in the NFL next year for.

00:30:42
Speaker 6: Any team, I'll say yes. Okay, what do you think?

00:30:46
Speaker 5: I say yes because he'll be a backup and then they just get forced into action.

00:30:50
Speaker 4: Will he be on Tennessee? Unlikely?

00:30:53
Speaker 6: I think, will you know, I'm not gonna sit here and act like will Is gonna be a great quarterback. But I still think that was an unfair situation because the Titans were so bad. He was constantly scrambling for his life back there. I think wherever he goes, he deserves a fresh start, and hopefully people will we'll look at him with an open mind to decide is what happens at his next step. But the Titans just sucked last year and he wasn't the whole problem.

00:31:14
Speaker 4: I know no details about this at all, so I'm not taking a stance one way or the other. But I just saw a headline. When you at when people ask me, what are the headlines that make you worried about the future? Of the country. This is a headline that makes me. FBI arrests judge in Wisconsin for immigration decision. That's not good. That's the kind of thing that like, again I don't know any details. Maybe she did something the judge, maybe the judge did something all I don't know, but like that's the kind of headline you see and you go, oh, no, who's next, Rebecca, Rebecca, go ahead, Rebecca.

00:31:52
Speaker 13: Hey, now, don't cut me off. Just listen to me one minute.

00:31:57
Speaker 4: King off, ma'am say that, but go ahead.

00:32:02
Speaker 13: This is for your knowledge. The guy is Arthur Pucher. If you get a Tops magazine this month's issue, there's a big picture in there and it really caught my eye and the details. The second thing is this was the first thing is Ryan Lemon's picture in there at Executive Train is the most incredible picture Ryan. It is such a good picture.

00:32:30

00:33:05

00:33:08
Speaker 6: I meant to bring this up last week.

Speaker 4: He's getting investigated. Uh. Trump issued an executive order to have him investigated. But I haven't heard anything else about it. So I don't know what it is now. It's just you know, I mean, he was he was a guy that I knew, and and so I don't know where where it did. I haven't seen anything else about it. But okays, appreciate the call. Where's this kick?

00:38:24
Speaker 4: Eight five, Oh boy, A long night. That one short night. Actually text was for you. You were home before they threw out the booteneers seven seven to seven seven four five two five four. Who's next, Tommy, Tommy, go ahead, Tommy.

00:38:43
Speaker 16: Hey, first time, long time? Who I got a question for Drew.

00:38:49
Speaker 4: Uh.

00:38:50
Speaker 16: I'm on my way to Talladega for my bachelor party in the back of an RBS taddy drink.

00:38:56
Speaker 4: It's Talladega this weekend.

00:38:58
Speaker 16: Oh yeah, okay, yeah, real fast and real lest man. Uh. I'm I'm sitting in the back of the RV drinking some coat snacks. And I remember Drew said when he went there that a man's got to really want it in the infield of Talladega. And I just wanted some advice from Uncle Kree.

00:39:20
Speaker 6: I've done an RV bachelor party in the infield of Talladega. I did not see a single car or race while I was at Talladega for an entire weekend. Didn't even bother to go look at the track. You're gonna want to burn your clothes when you get home. The smell that I smelt when I walked into my house was unbelievable. You're not gonna get to shower much. My best piece of advice, though, is my group. We all threw in money and we rented our own porta potty that no one else could touch. That they drop it off at your tailgate, they drive around, you pay for it when you first get there. That's best money I've ever spent in my entire cost to get for I want to say it's a little under one hundred of person. I would have paid whatever it costs because we all we had a pack to keep it clean. You didn't have to deal with the public restrooms. So if you see the porta potty delivery guy going around, it's my best advice investing that. I think that's a actually.

00:40:10
Speaker 4: I really like that idea. I think that's a really good idea. Who's up neck, Good luck, Austin, Austin, Go ahead, Austin.

00:40:20
Speaker 11: Who's Matt? First of all, the sur pro ad right before this segment that is peak ambient that I don't know if you've heard it. I got to slow it down.

00:40:29
Speaker 4: I've heard it. You've probably slowed it down a little bit. It happened sometimes.

00:40:34
Speaker 12: Uh.

00:40:34
Speaker 11: The second thing you guys may have already talked about it usually a podcast listener.

00:40:38
Speaker 12: Uh.

00:40:38
Speaker 11: The twenty million dollars or whatever it is for the nil is there any title nine restrictions?

00:40:44
Speaker 4: With that, Well, okay, that's a great question. The short answer is probably not. Under Title nine, you don't have to give equal results. You just have to give equal opportunity. And so I think under the the old interpretation of Title nine, it still would not have had to been an equal revenue share between men and women. But so let's say Biden had won the election, I still don't think that would have happened. But when Trump won the election, they've altered the government's interpretation of Title nine. So I think it's almost certain now that it won't be equal, But I don't think it would have been otherwise either. So you have to give equal opportunity, which is scholarships, but you don't have to give equal results, which is expenditures. And that's generally been the law for a long time. All Right, appreciate it, Appreciate it. That's why, for instance, the men's team can fly chartered to stuff, and then sometimes the women's team takes commercial Now I'm not saying that's good or not, but that's that. That is the interpretation, and that's been the interpretation of law for a long time.

00:41:51
Speaker 5: And it's goning. It's gotten a lot better the last couple of years. I know had that bad incident with the women's Final four and they showed their workout room and they showed the men's final four and showed their workout room.

00:41:59
Speaker 4: That was pretty disgusting the difference in that. But that was, Yeah, that was embarrassing, But they've gotten better. The NBA's eighty two game grind is done. It is the playoffs. Last night the thunder blew of thirty two point lead, So you gotta be ready to make the bets.

Dion Walker, du miss Johnson likely to be picked on day three of the draft. Uh and then that's probably like Abel like Hawks gets picked seventh ROWND.

00:42:44
Speaker 5: Never thought Dione Walker would fall this way, he's fallowing the way. Going into last season, he was a guaranteed top ten pick.

00:42:49
Speaker 4: I think apparently I talked to one of my ESPN friends who's all into the draft, who told me he went to all the workouts way out of shape, and they were like, if you can't be out of shape when you know you need to be, what's it going to be like when you when you play. Thank you, folks very much for coming. We appreciate it. This has been Kentucky Sports Radio
