2025-08-20- KSR - Hour 2

00:00:00
Speaker 1: Welcome to our two of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.

00:00:05
Speaker 2: Now here's Matt.

00:00:06
Speaker 3: Jones Watermack and he is now number two Kentucky Sports Radio. If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven, text machine is seven seven two seven seven four five two five four we are It's an ask anything Wednesday. Go ahead and get in with us. We'll go back to the phone here in just a second. Couple little tidbits I thought people would like. First of all, I propos of nothing, right, Shannon, Nobody was talking the other day about who had the best rated show or anything like that. That was not something any radio host and you were feuding about. Am I correct?

00:00:40
Speaker 1: That's correct? Yeah, yeah, not mean that was that was somebody that would not have been you.

00:00:45
Speaker 2: No, no.

00:00:46
Speaker 3: But just coincidentally, the uh, the ratings came out last week for Lexington and Louisville. I just want to give you a notion of when we talk about you know, sometimes you'll hear me say this is like the highest rate in radio show, not just in Kentucky but in the country in sports. I just want to give you a sense of what that means. All right, in Lexington, they do it year over year. We were down twelve percent. But remember that's from the John Calipery leaves Mark Pope comes a couple of months, pretty big couple months, highest rated couple months we ever had. This was still our second highest rated period in history behind that one. Okay, in Lexington Men eighteen to forty nine we had a thirty. Now, let me give you a little perspective as to what a thirty means. In most places you are considered like as a sports host, you are knocking it out of the park if you get like an eight, and we had a thirty. We had a six sixteen in people, not just men, people that includes women who listened to radio even more than men. We were first in every demographic, literally every single demographic in Louisville twelve and the number one show in Louisville, including beating all the Louisville shows. I just say that to say thank you to the listeners. When we first started. I remember the first Louisville Writings book, we got like a four and a half and people. I remember Lockwin McClean famously came in. He didn't think I heard him, and he looked at Drew Diner and said, well, they'll never get that again. What a fluke that was twelve years ago, and now that four and a half is a thirty, so we appreciate.

00:02:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, a four five, that's sort of typical.

00:02:58
Speaker 1: You could have a five and a half at certain day parts and be the number one station in your market. Yeah, so by comparison of thirty compared to a six or a five is insane, and.

00:03:11
Speaker 3: Eleven in Louisville, when over half the city claims to hate us, is pretty good. So anyway, I just wanted to give you that just as a little perspective. It used to be I would obsess over those things, like every time it came out, I'd be sitting there looking at it. Now almost never look at them because we do get bonuses based on them, so I care about it from that, but we usually come in first every time. I don't even have the look. But the numbers now are just stupid. I mean that is just stupid. Thirty percent of all radios in Lexington are listening to this show at any given point. That's crazy, especially when you consider a lot of people don't even listen to the radio. So there's a podcast audience that doesn't even include the podcast or the streaming. That's people who are playing it over the airs. This podcast is treating it is a different set of numbers. So sometimes when we go over this and a reminder of how many people are on the other end of this microphone, it makes you think, what did I say? What I confess to You're not nervous that you confessed how boogie you are for any things for his big Bougie Club the NFL yesterday, Uh, Billy and Mario got a little nervous, Shannon. I have never seen me in the tense interview world. It was Billy and Mario watching as I interviewed Andy Barr, which will air, which will go up on podcast tomorrow. First of all, thank you to Andy Barr for doing it. He was great. He handled all the questions. He did what people in those offices should do, which is sit down, get hard questions. We went back and forth rupted him a few times, which is people would say, but you have to Shannon, if you don't interrupt these politicians, they'll just talk right.

00:05:06
Speaker 1: And that's the name of the show. Interrupted by Mad Joe, that's the name. So but it was great, But Billy.

00:05:10
Speaker 3: I could see Billy on his face getting nervous because there's a back and forth on an issue where I go yes or no, can you say this? And he just keeps going and I'm like yes or no. Remember, so I say so you won't say yes or no. And the third time I do it, Billy looks at me like, oh goodness. So I really thank him a lot for doing it. He I think if you listen, he answers his questions. We a few times have to just agree to disagree. But I thought it was especially in today's world where people don't sit down with people from the other side. I did have respect for him Drew for doing it, even though a lot of his answers frustrate me. But that's okay. He still said and did his I knew it had a big impact on Billy because yesterday, after you all did it, he told me the story of wanting to get under the table. Then this morning he told me the story again and I had to remind him. He probably told me this, but it weighed on him that much that he's still bringing it up a day later. I didn't think it was tense at all because I'm used to conversations like that. But I just don't think Billy had seen me in that setting, and it was a very closed space. It was just bar his assistant, me, Mario, and Billy, just and in a very small space, and I just think Billy got very nervous. Well, I can add I was also in the building, sitting in this studio working on my computer, and I heard it through the wall. So even though I wasn't in there, I also felt a little part of what was going on there. It did get louder at times, but not loudly each other, But I mean I could I could pick up on some tension through the wall. Okay, well, I didn't think it was tense, but I can tell you who did. Bill. Hebly told me again after this show, Bobby, go ahead, Bobby, Hey, guys, how are y'all doing today? Good?

00:07:01
Speaker 4: I got two quick questions, if that's okay.

00:07:03
Speaker 3: Go for it, all right?

00:07:05
Speaker 5: So the first question, and I hate to do this while Ryan's not there, but can y'all go over maybe the roles and stats of what you all think Barry On Brown and dang Hee will do for Nebraska and LSU. And then the second question is I'm really excited that y'all are gonna possibly have Randall Cobb.

00:07:22
Speaker 3: On y'all's new show. And I was wondering, he's like my childhood here. Yeah he's not. He's not gonna be regular. I'm sure we'll have him one as a guest, but no, he's not. He's not. Okay, what I said was they wanted me initially when they came to me with the show. The initial idea was, Matt, why don't you do it with Randall Cobb and I And there's no offense to Randall, but I wanted to do it with Drew, and so I pushed for Drew and then that's how it ended up with Drew.

00:07:49
Speaker 5: But I think as a guest some Drew is also my childhood hero, so I can accept that. But I'm just wondering if Randall, if you could get on or maybe even set up.

00:08:04
Speaker 3: Probably come on to promote that thing. He's on special special Forces, special Forces whatever. So yeah, we well, we'll we'll, we'll see if we can do that, all right, because.

00:08:14
Speaker 5: I'm also a Packers fan, so it kind of best of both worlds there, all right.

00:08:19
Speaker 3: I appreciate to appreciate the call. Actually I want to I want to put red you who is on this Special Forces show? We haven't done that yet, right, We mentioned it briefly at Shady, But did we mention everyone that was on it as many as we could off the top of our heads? Oh go ahead? Well no, no, never mind. If we've done it before, then we don't have to. We don't have We mentioned Lexingtonian, Britney cart right. Oh that's right, Brianna Chicken fry Chicky. Yeah, okay. Well is Johnny Manzel on there? Johnny Manziel is on.

00:08:45
Speaker 5: So good.

00:08:46
Speaker 3: It's a good cast if you want some just chaos doing Special Forces. Randall should be the favorite far. He's gonna win. As far as the what I think Baron Brown and Dane Kee will do. I don't know that Baron Brown will play a lot at wide receiver. He's he's projected to be second string, but I do think he'll be a big kick returner for him. But I mean I looked at an LSU website. They do not have him as a projected starter. Yeah, they're pretty loaded a receiver. He'll get looks. He won't be a guy like he was a Kentucky where you know they're pretty much forcing the prizing. He would go I mean he wanted the ball more here. Yeah, that he would go to a place where he may get the ball less. No, I agree, you know, don't know exactly what happened there, but it was time for a fresh start on both ends with him. I think as a kick returner he will be very dynamic. We're just gonna have to accept we're gonna get a Baron Brown touchdown high in the LSU uniform. What about dang Key the quarterback there, Dylan ree was still hasn't hit that level everyone thought he would. I think he had a little bit of a down last year. But if those two pan out, they could be something special. Uh, we heard anything like he'll be he's in there, he's the top two guy. When he committed there. I mean he was assured he's going to get the look. And we know what Ryan would say, Shannon, Ryan would say he's gonna be all big ten.

00:10:01
Speaker 1: Oh of course, yeah, but he's this guy, you know, I understand that.

00:10:04
Speaker 2: So he's got a person I haven't really heard.

00:10:07
Speaker 3: I mean I don't I don't read a lot of Nebraska sites, so I don't really know what what what the Nebraska situation. He's there to be to be the guy, so he should be getting plenty of looks. They need be able to take a big jump. Ben, go ahead, Ben.

00:10:20
Speaker 6: Hey, I I text you a while ago on the KSAR text machine about I were My family's the one that owns the Safari company. So I just thought i'd give you a couple of tips before you head out.

00:10:30
Speaker 3: All right, Yeah, give me a Safari tip. All right.

00:10:34
Speaker 5: Well, you fig you're worried about being a manly man, just bring.

00:10:37
Speaker 3: A couple of dollars with you. You guys will have plenty of chances.

00:10:39
Speaker 6: You can just be the guy that like tips five dollars for carrying everyone's bag, or like do a couple all.

00:10:44
Speaker 3: Right, so I look manly by paying money. Okay, what else? Yeah, there you go.

00:10:49
Speaker 4: Uh.

00:10:50
Speaker 6: But on the same time, be careful to new like scam that's going around there. If you say you have a ride coming and it sends of Jones on a piece of paper, some local will write Jones on a piece of paper and try to get you to like give them money and get in their cars. So it's be careful of that you are trying to buy something. Just lie and say you're from Canada, you'll get a better price on something than if you say you're from America.

00:11:10
Speaker 3: Ah, and I've actually heard that before. Like, I think Americans have all the money, so Shannon, I should be Maybe I could be from sweet Canada. I think I want to be sweet for the NFL like Drew, I have more money. No, no, yeah, I try to think what would be blacking?

00:11:29
Speaker 5: Get an actual serious point?

00:11:31
Speaker 3: Oh sorry, go ahead, no, go ahead.

00:11:34
Speaker 6: Uh a serious point that number that I text you on it's like life happened. So if someone you know gets sick and you guys have like it's kind of a sketchy place in the world's things bad. So we do on a lot of stuff around there. So if you need some pull with something, then feel free.

00:11:48
Speaker 3: To do me a favor. Send that again, like right off after you get the phone so I can save it. Okay, okay, all right, appreciate it, Thank you very much. There you go. I also saw a thing that said, when you're in your little Safari vehicle, don't make don't jump up and down or make big movements because that's what you were going to be doing.

00:12:08
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:12:08
Speaker 3: Well, I could see me flinging my arms. Though when I'm talking, you tell the story, so I'm might have to sit on my hands as I'm telling stories so that I don't attract a line.

00:12:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't make eye contact with the lions.

00:12:20
Speaker 3: Hey line, my man, my man.

00:12:24
Speaker 2: Calm down, my main.

00:12:29
Speaker 3: A well Flay Shandon, Jacob, go ahead, Jacob, Hi.

00:12:36
Speaker 7: Good morning, and I hope you're all doing well. Matt. I wanted to thank you for inspiring me to start walking more. Actually, when I in my walk my longest so far this past weekend and watched like thirty pounds of summers from walking more, My question is.

00:12:53
Speaker 3: Very kind of you. That's very kind of you to say, and I'm glad that you're doing that. You uh, You're going to be much healthier.

00:13:00
Speaker 7: I'd a couple of questions like what kind of like motivated to get started on he's on walks, Like how many miles a week on average do you walk? And like do you like map out you're routes beforehand?

00:13:11
Speaker 3: But yeah, I appreciate it. You know, sometimes you just look at a picture of yourself, like I'm a my weight fluctuates in my face like pretty big, so like I can and my weight fluctuates in general pretty big, Like I'll go, I'm at one of my smallest weights now, but before I went to Europe last year, I was at one of my biggest and so you know, sometimes you just look at a picture of yourself Shannon, You're like.

00:13:39
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, I need to do something about that.

00:13:42
Speaker 3: I need to do something. And then when I was in Europe, like you, you walk everywhere there, like they don't the cars. They're not as big into cars. They're trains and walking. So I just got used to walking. And I think you can also learn a city better when you're walking, Like I know you New York really well because I walk it all the time. But then like when we were in Pittsburgh, I could never really figure out where I was in part because I wasn't walking to figure out where it was. You get a sense of where the city is. So yeah, And as far as do I have a route, I definitely have a Louisville route. Louisville is such a so much better of a walking city than Lexington. Lexington, it's just hard to walk here. I now have a Lexington route kind of go downtown by campus. I usually now do it at night. Got like a seven mile loop that I can do. And then Louisville usually up and down Barnstown Road into you know, the Cherokee Park, sometimes downtown. But yeah, I like it. It's just good for me because I the gym. Going to the gym to me feels like going to war. It's the same thing. Like I loved Sonny who was my trainer, and I'll still probably use her again. She was awesome, but like every time I went, I was like, oh, oh gosh. Whereas walking I find pleasant, especially like during this West Coast trip for the Reds, leave my house Shendon at ten, turn the Reds on, the Reds on the radio, and then walk and listen. That's what I do. Don't miss your chance to play with and support Kentucky based charities with Commonwealth Causes. Queen of Heart's fifty to fifty Raffle takes place every Thursday. That's tomorrow. Ryan places us all the time. Five thousand dollars if you reveal the Queen if you have the jackpot, and a thousand if you hit a joker. The next one for the Bourbon Raffles August twenty eighth with a Weller millennium. They said that's a fifteen thousand dollars bottle to track down.

00:15:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, fifteen thousand dollars for a bottle on it good mixer with doctor Pepper.

00:15:43
Speaker 3: You go to Commonwealth Causes dot org and follow apple ky causes on social media Commonwealth causes dot org To get in today, we'll take a break right back kysar.

00:15:54
Speaker 2: To talk to Matt Jones and the crew.

00:15:56
Speaker 1: Call the Clark's Popping Shop full line or EP five nine two eighth eighty seven or one eight hundred and six oh six forty two sixty three and send us the whiskey Thief tweet of the day by tweeting Matt at k Y Sports Radio.

00:16:09
Speaker 3: Walterback Tekee Sports Radio. If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. One thing that I found ridiculous in the news Auburn has claimed four more national championships in football. They just said, all right, now we have nine and they picked random years and were like, if things were fair, we would have won it.

00:16:28
Speaker 1: Then well they go today basketball can claim like three or four more.

00:16:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they were like, in two thousand and four we were on probation, but we still should have gotten it. Because now those rules are legal, and so they just gave themselves the title. They also gave themselves the title in like eighteen ninety seven or something. Those ones you gotta claim. Nobody can challenge it. Now I feel like I'm challenging it. I don't think. First of all, I don't think anything starts before there was a tournament. Anytime it was just fattel men voting, it doesn't count. So for me, one of the national championships are valid until they started having at least that BCS Title Game nineteen is good, Yeah, because we won that, we won the Orange Bowl. I believe they do have one year. I think they can't disclaim it. But they didn't get host pretty bad from the old men voting. Didn't they go undefeated one season and still they're like, oh, it's too bad. You don't just get to say, so we win. I would hear them out on that one, though. You're gonna left them just say we get to win that one, just that one.

00:17:31
Speaker 1: What about Central Florida? Didn't they go undefeed it one year and they.

00:17:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're claiming it too. It's a flawed system. You don't just get to claim like, you don't just get to claim we won the title. You don't. You either won it or you didn't. I would argue nobody that won a voted title one. But if we're going to say that you're going to do it, you you have to have gotten something. It can't just be yeah, looking back, it feels like that was me. I can't just go back in history and go, yeah, we played Cook and Fleeener in the high school tennis doubles championship. Yeah, we lost, but they.

00:18:09
Speaker 2: Know we're really one, even though.

00:18:11
Speaker 3: We really won in the eyes of the lord champions of Yeah, so me and bo Bob, where are the where the where are the champs? Now? You don't get to do that. I think we should try them. Which ones are we claiming? Well, the year we beat LSU, they went on to win the National championship football. But as I see it, we beat LSU and they're the national.

00:18:35
Speaker 2: Champion fifteen in basketball.

00:18:40
Speaker 3: Well, Matt and I already tried to claim that one ended up in court. Didn't we win the n i T one year when it was better than the NCAA allegedly, Well, the years we were on probation, we just created a tournament. Let's claim those. Yeah, we're you know what, last year the BBN Invitational was the national championship, and this year the Kentucky tip Off Classic presenter Baktuk Tour is the national championship titles. I can't believe they were just like two thousand and four. Yep, that's ours. They saw Trump calling in his golf championship. That's exactly what That's what they did. I still win the twenty twenty election. We still win the two thousand and four national championship. Is that a good one? Nothing of the first time you've done Donald on here? Bet you're welcome, Tom, go ahead, Tom, Hey, guys, I just have one to ask your opinion.

00:19:30
Speaker 8: I uh, I got a chance to watch the Tigers game last night against Astros and was really.

00:19:36
Speaker 9: Disappointed at the end of the game.

00:19:38
Speaker 8: So both pitchers went scoreless six to seven, seven innings, they bring in the bullpen, they go scoreless for a couple of innings, and then they started in the tenth inning with putting the runner on second base. Tigers get Dashtros out, Tigers get up. They put their guy on second base. Leadoff hitter hits a sacrifice fly. The guy goes the third. So the Astros walk potentially either guy to try to.

00:20:02
Speaker 3: Set up there, and they did the night they did with the Reds. Yeah, yeah, so they did it the other night with the Reds. Think that rule, I like it, but I but it. But you're exactly. You just gave the scenario where it feels a little cheap, which is the starts on second sacrifice gets them, the third sacrifice gets them home. That does feel a little bit cheap, So I get it. I would say for me, I think I like the runner being on because I think the extra innings can take way too long. I might say, Shannon, start them on first, because you actually have to do something to get them. Now I'm told the reason they didn't do it is they were like that gives an advantage to a team that has a really fast guy that's there on first and they can just steal second and then they're in the same thing. But then that gives you incentive to have fast guys, right, So I you know, I.

00:20:55
Speaker 2: Don't love the rule, but it is what it is.

00:20:57
Speaker 1: And I would say for the team that's batting it the top of the tenth, they could have done the same thing. They could have done a sacrifice to get the guy in So in general, I'm four six and one half dozen. The other I appreciate the call in general. And fourth, the Reds have been awful at it this year. The Reds are like two to nine in those games and rarely get their runner home. But on some level, like that's a skill you need to learn. In the same way like soccer teams teach their teams to do penalty kicks a certain way, knowing that sometimes games will come down to that. Probably managers need to teach their team what they do in the tenth When the guys on said, if I were a manager, I would bunt to the right side and move them to third, then hit a long fly ball, two outs, a bit of run scores.

00:21:35
Speaker 2: There you go.

00:21:35
Speaker 3: Now you've put the pressure. Well, what he's saying, that happened with the Reds the other night. That guy got to third, so then they walked Ellie, and then they walked the guy after Ellie. But it ended up hurting him because the next guy didn't got like a double in the gap and they won.

00:21:48
Speaker 9: So you know the.

00:21:50
Speaker 3: Crazy Reds Braves games. That was twelve eleven. That's how the Braves won. It was both teams were hot and then he got to the tenth and it was just sac fla Sacks run. Yeah, it's a little it feels cheap. I get it, but that's the way it goes. Ben, go ahead, Ben, hey man, how's it going good? How are you.

00:22:08
Speaker 9: Good?

00:22:08
Speaker 8: So my question is, who do you think in the past decade or two has been the best Kentucky alumni in the NBA in their prime?

00:22:17
Speaker 3: Well, in their prime it's probably I mean Shaye won MVP, so I guess it has to be shame. If you're looking at totality of career, I'd probably say Anthony Davis. But if you're looking in their prime, who hit the best peak drough it's probably Shay right, he just had one of the best seasons you could possibly have. Matt, I like your show until you start talking politics. I don't agree with your ways, and I listen to get news about UK sports. If you continued mention politics in your show, you will lose me and other listeners. Well sorry, First of all, no you won't. You'll you'll stay. But secondly, I mean, you know we've done this forever, so like you must be if you you must be a new life. If you didn't realize that, and I'm sure we've lost a few, but I want to keep life interesting and it's impossible, unfortunately, to not to talk about what's going on and not mention that stuff because it's everywhere now. It's become a huge part of everything everybody does. So and we don't have UK news either. Yeah, I mean, what are you going to say? What's the UK news? You can't create it? Yeah, what's the UK news?

00:23:22
Speaker 4: Like?

00:23:23
Speaker 3: Mark Stoops is motivated like how many times? Yeah he is?

00:23:26
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, Bush Hampton's telling the offensive line to breathe through their nose.

00:23:30
Speaker 3: Yep. That was big news yesterday. Yeah, I see there's the UK news.

00:23:33
Speaker 2: He's looking for to breathe through your nose.

00:23:35
Speaker 3: I didn't hear this. What happened? He's telling them breath through their nose, Shandon.

00:23:38
Speaker 2: Just because it relaxes you.

00:23:40
Speaker 1: You get more oxygen into your bloodstream and that's what he wants his So he.

00:23:44
Speaker 3: Tells our offensive li i'man to breathe through their nose. Yep.

00:23:47
Speaker 1: That was Caage Pete that that said that really well.

00:23:51
Speaker 3: You do when you when you do like meditation, they tell.

00:23:53
Speaker 2: You to do your nose out through your mouth.

00:23:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's how you do meditation in through your nose. I like when I can't sleep. They taught me that and it actually was one of the few things, along with cornbread hemp, that helped. If you breathe through your nose out through your mouth, you intentionally extend it for like six seconds, and you do that enough, it just slows your heart rate down and you're just and you can't You can't think about anything else which can help you fall asleep. So I do that quite often. I didn't think though that would be good. I don't want to fall asleep on playing football, and they certainly shouldn't have cornbread heap before they played football. It's basically, we just need Pete to do every interview because that's when we get our best stuff. Is when Pete is from in front of a camera. He's the best. Did you see they did the Lake Retreat and do you know what a blob is was in the movie? Pete was the one bouncing onto the blob. Some of the guys I don't think of landed yet, but I mean, how fun would that be? Having Pete down? A just may surprise you. But when I went to Camp Rockmont in Black Mountain, North Carolina. The blob terrified me as someone who's not a big swimmer. The blob was a terrify thing. I never got to experience it, just just in the movie Heavyweights always wanted to Yeah, they know, that's what they called. It was the blob. To one person, rates Matt, if you want to increase your core strength while you're walking at a weighted vest, it makes it to where you don't have to walk as far and you will strengthen your core muscles. But wouldn't that be hot?

00:25:22
Speaker 1: I saw a guy doing it at the State Fair, and I go the State Fair seems like a strange place for a guy to be running around with a weight it vest on.

00:25:28
Speaker 3: But there's a woman that I wasn't going to bring that up, but since you brought it up, and there's a woman here who every day at lunch wears the wave vest and somebody Billy uh like, well not just him. Honestly, there's a lot of people involved in this show that have a major crush on this woman. Oh, people that are not present, everyone that's not here right now.

I got it in general, but like I see people at Clark's and they like scan it and they get like all this stuff and it's like forty three cents usually like free drinks. I mean McDonald's people are getting like long things and it's like a dollar twenty. It's a lot of work, but the Clark's Pumping Shop app is worth it. They're more than just a stop for gas and snacks. They're local folks giving back to the community at Clark's Pumping Shop, Return, Refresh, refuel Channon, do you do that?

00:32:29
Speaker 1: I will, but you know, I'm not one of these people that walks around and has twenty different things hanging from their key chain.

00:32:34
Speaker 3: You know.

00:32:34
Speaker 2: I'll do like one or two the place I go the most.

00:32:37
Speaker 3: The McDonald's one is tough because like people are like, no, go do you have McDonald's hav no gong on.

00:32:45
Speaker 2: I haven't done on.

00:32:47
Speaker 3: It's like, come on, I would never fight with my wife, but if we did most of our fights would be in the McDonald's line when I'm saying, just give me the four numbers or I'm going to order like a normal human being. It could be trouble. People love it, I mean they loved their McDonald's app. I caved. I got it recently. Yeah, I honestly the first time I ever used it, I was with my dad, who's also old school. We are using the app, and I mistakenly ordered at a different location than where we were at, so it wasn't a good first. I understand how this stuff works, so like like like take like a good RX pharmacy. Do you all know what that is? It's like an app it cost well, first of all, it's free, but then you can do like a subscription that's like ten dollars a month or something. I had a medication a while back that was like three hundred and eighty dollars and I went to the to the people and I'm like, I, why is this so much? And they were like, just download the app, said fine, So I downloaded this app, scanned it. It was three dollars and thirty one cents. How does that explain to me what that business model is? What is the business model where it's three hundred eighty dollars, I download an app, just hit a button and it's three dollars and eighty one cents. Who does that make sense for? Does it make sense for the pharmacy? Does it make sense for the drug company?

00:34:12
Speaker 1: Who are they so only advertisements on that app or something like?

00:34:17
Speaker 3: I don't understand the price discrepancy. So I mean I was like, thank thank you, and then they go Honestly, most things it'll do that and it's just an app. I don't get it. Do you do you know why that would be. I'm familiar with the app, but I've never heard like something that extreme on it. So we don't need insurance. You just need the app and everything everything works out. There's an app for everything. Yeah, Pete, go ahead, Pete. Hi, Yeah, what you today? Nice to hear from you.
