00:02:06
Speaker 2: So the first five people to text the text machine and the first person to go find your side it, getst the gift card. All right? And Drew, you're a big fan of the EA College Sports football game.

00:02:15
Speaker 4: Yes, I've played it a total of one hour and twenty minutes, but I've enjoyed it.

00:02:19
Speaker 2: And the two things I hear the most is one Chris Wilcox's shoes are taped in the video game, JA Marion Willcox, JA Marion Willcox. Think Chris Wilcox was a basketball player Maryland? I think it wasn't Maryland. Will they beat Kentucky? Was that the Sweet sixteen or the Elite eight? Uh? What was it?

00:02:35
Speaker 5: Was?

00:02:36
Speaker 2: Steve Blake? Yeah, I was on that team, Jowan Dixon. I think one.

00:02:40
Speaker 4: Some people say one for short one if you want to make that two syllables.

00:02:45
Speaker 2: I was there actually at that game. Uh that? So will Cox's shoes are taped, and then Aidan le Ross's toughness ranking was zero.

00:02:57
Speaker 3: Has to be a mistake, has to be a mistake. Somebody screwed up when they were doing the toughness rating there.

00:03:03
Speaker 4: If it's not a mistake, he has to drive to EA headquarters and fight someone. I mean, that is just the most disrespectful thing you could do. Like if they made him a zero, because there's all these different criteria catch, run, block, past, block, elusiveness. If they put your zero there, okay, whatever, but toughness, that's question. That's questioning a man right there.

00:03:22
Speaker 2: I think it's.

00:03:23
Speaker 3: Personally forgot to put the nine in front of the zero. Ninety ninety yeah, yeah, that's what it was.

00:03:29
Speaker 2: So join us now to defend his self, defend his toughness, defend his manhood. Is Kentucky punter Aiden leros Aiden? How embarrassing was that? You get the game, you're all excited, and they have your toughness as a zero?

00:03:45
Speaker 6: Yeah?

00:03:45
Speaker 7: How's it going, guys? Yeah, it came as a pretty big shock to me. And the fact that I got a lot of DM from my buddies back at home and all over the place about it.

00:03:57
Speaker 5: It's quite comical.

00:03:57
Speaker 7: I just think it's a good joke. I don't see anything other than it being a mistake because I know I grew I mean, I grew up playing rugby and and and from South Africa. You know, there's no there's no question about my toughness in that sense.

00:04:13
Speaker 5: But yeah, I think it's good.

00:04:14
Speaker 7: It's been it's brought really good media presence for me, and it's been nothing but good good publicity, you know.

00:04:21
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, Pardon My Take, the number one sports cut sports podcast in America, was talking about you. So, even though I guess it's a bit of a negative getting a zero lots of attention from this, were you a Pardon my Take listener beforehand? And did you hear that clip of them talking about you?

00:04:36
Speaker 7: Yeah, honestly I don't. I don't listen to many podcasts myself. But again, I had a couple of friends of mine text me and they're like, I was listening to Pardon my Take on the way to work and heard your name. Buddies that I haven't heard from in years, and so it's been good, actually good connection building from from friends that I haven't spoken to in a while. Because it's it's brought up a funny joke now, but yeah, it was. It was really cool to see that.

00:04:59
Speaker 4: But let's set the record straight because they can still update these things. They're updating rosters every week, new downloads. This can be fixed. What is your toughness? From zero to ninety nine? And we will make sure they get the message and it is properly updated the next time they release one.

00:05:16
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I'm gonna be I'm gonna be very confident about it and say a lot higher than that. But yeah, we'll see, hopefully they'll maybe.

00:05:24
Speaker 5: We'll see if they change it.

00:05:26
Speaker 7: But yeah, definitely, I reckon I'm the one of the tougher guy punches in the nation for sure.

00:05:32
Speaker 4: Eighty eight, eighty eight, good call it. Eighty eight, eighty eight, eighty nine, ninety Where you want to be? Where should we have?

00:05:37
Speaker 5: Yeah?

00:05:37
Speaker 7: Yeah, above ninety for sure, we should go from zero to ninety nine.

00:05:41
Speaker 3: Listen, I know what you're a tough guy because I saw that video of you taking those footballs off your chest a couple of days ago that was posted on social media. But I do want to have I do want to ask one question just to test your toughness here. So would you rather fight one horse sized duck or one hundred duck sized horses? Which one are you going.

00:06:03
Speaker 2: With one horse sized duck? That's right.

00:06:08
Speaker 3: Let me repeat it again, one horse sized duck or one hundred duck sized horses.

00:06:15
Speaker 7: I reckon one hundred duck sized horses just because I can get a good kick in there.

00:06:20
Speaker 5: I can get the kick in there. You get at least they gave.

00:06:23
Speaker 7: Me the lake pile on the game, so I think I could at least get the kick in for those.

00:06:26
Speaker 3: That's right. He could pick them up and pud them. That's exactly right.

00:06:31
Speaker 2: I do love the fact how you and University, I guess kind of leaned into this with the video that came out a couple of days ago showing you working out and saying, man, I got one year to get that toughness rating up, and you're working out already. So next year's video game, you don't have the zero there beside your name.

00:06:45
Speaker 7: Right, especially with the new Happy Gilbol movie coming out. It differitely worked out well. It was a good, good time, and I enjoyed doing that.

00:06:52
Speaker 4: On a serious note, we'll talk a little real life football, not virtual football. You came here last year as an FCS All American, but UH set out the first three games they win a different direction of punter. But then you stepped in, got the role and finished the year. What was that like last year, having to come and sit for a little bit before you got your chance, and then you seem to make the most of it once you became that full time starter.

00:07:13
Speaker 5: Yeah.

00:07:13
Speaker 7: Look, I obviously had trust in the coaches. They brought me here for a reason. I I can't line say I wasn't upset, but I I'm I'm not a I'm not a guy that does it.

00:07:23
Speaker 5: That sits in puth.

00:07:24
Speaker 7: I kept working and made my way onto the field, and I knew once I got onto the field, I'd do what I what I what I came to do. And yeah, I've got a big year coming up this year. We've got a great team and super excited to show show America.

00:07:38
Speaker 5: What we've got and uh what I've got got to prove.

00:07:42
Speaker 2: You know, Kentucky's had some kick ass punters Max Duffy, Tim Masta. I've argued that maybe the toughest punter of all was a guy named Glenn Pacalac. So I guess you got you got some people, you know, Uh, some tough guys ahead of you were also good punters. You can kind of emulate those guys a little bit.

00:07:59
Speaker 7: Yeah, definitely, I think that being able to learn what they've done here at Kentucky and obviously my own put my own spin on it, and I think that I've I'm gonna do something that people haven't done here, and yeah, I'm really excited.

00:08:12
Speaker 6: To do that.

00:08:14
Speaker 4: You're a part of last year's team when it didn't quite go as well as you all had hoped, and the talk ever since in the offseason from a lot of your teammates and coaches is how the culture in the locker rooms a lot better. Even though you're a specialist and might not being involved as the offensive defenses, game planning and all that. Are you, at least just in the building and in the locker room. Do you feel like you all have hit reset and you're in a good place going into next year.

00:08:38
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely.

00:08:38
Speaker 7: Obviously last year has passed us. But I get around a lot of the guys. I know I'm a specialist, but I'm around a lot of the players. I'm really close with a lot of the team. I get out and hang out with a lot of the players. I've always been around people other than the specialists, and I love.

00:08:53
Speaker 5: The team this year. The new transfers are really down to earth and we just it seems like a great brotherhood this year. And I can't wait to get on the field with them because we're getting there.

00:09:02
Speaker 7: We're getting there once once the field, once the first game hits, we're ready.

00:09:06
Speaker 5: Yeah.

00:09:08
Speaker 2: Well and we appreciate it.

00:09:09
Speaker 6: Uh.

00:09:09
Speaker 2: We also want to plug You got a couple events coming up with the part of the Scott County Humane Society. You've got an event. Are they gonna do it tonight Evans Orchard? Are they gonna call an audible if it's going the weather's gonna be bad?

00:09:20
Speaker 5: Yeah?

00:09:20
Speaker 7: I think I think tonight should work out if the if the weather's up to it. I've really enjoyed helping out Scott Humane Society with the animals there. It's been a great, great opportunity to help out fostered animals.

00:09:34
Speaker 2: So the Scott County Humane Society event tonight at Evans Orchard. What are the times of that tonight at the ring holds off, Uh, five to eight, five to eight, and then you'll be at pet Smart tomorrow and Hamburg from about one to three with Dumpling. Is Dumpling one of that guests one of the dogs available for adoption you guys are talking about from the Scott County Humane Society.

00:09:55
Speaker 5: Yeah.

00:09:55
Speaker 7: I think that's that's if the if the weather doesn't hold out for tonight.

00:10:00
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, all right, well Aidan, we appreciate it. Man, get back to working out. Get that toughness number up for next year's video game. Just go clobber a few people this year and they'll have to they'll have to move that number up.

00:10:11
Speaker 5: Yeah, I look, I really appreciate you guys having me. It was a good time.

00:10:14
Speaker 7: I called a way to show the world what we've got his Kentucky football.

00:10:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, appreciate it. Appreciate it. That's Aidan Larro's Kentucky's punn of this year. And already I got text messages the ladies love's voice. I mean, he's like I got four or five text messages, like we could hear him talk all day.

00:10:29
Speaker 4: Okay. I didn't know we were going to go that interview. I enjoyed hearing from That's the first time I've I've talked to him. I didn't do any interviews with him last year, but I didn't know this was that for the ladies.

00:10:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Apparently they really enjoyed his voice a little bit.

00:10:41
Speaker 4: So, Hey, Max, you jealous?

00:10:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't have to be a big tough guy to get the ladies. You gotta do this, have a good accent. That's all the wall.

00:10:47
Speaker 2: Max Duffy proved that exactly what you're saying.

00:10:51
Speaker 4: Do you think is Aiden gonna be on a KSR road trip here in four or five years? So you're just gonna follow the Max path?

00:10:56
Speaker 2: Is he going to disappear and Seattle? We gotta wait around and look for him again like somebody else? Mean eight five nine, two to eight seven. That's our Clark's pumpy shot phone number. We do have one car before we go to break Shannon. Let's ahead and get that.

00:11:06
Speaker 3: Okay, let's go to Cody.

00:11:08
Speaker 2: Cody, go ahead, Cody.

00:11:10
Speaker 8: Hey gang, how are y'all doing today?

00:11:12
Speaker 5: All right?

00:11:12
Speaker 2: How are you? Cody?

00:11:15
Speaker 7: Good?

00:11:15
Speaker 3: Good?

00:11:15
Speaker 7: Hey?

00:11:15
Speaker 8: I wanted to call in. A common topic that comes up on the show is for a debate I should say, is what team do we root for when Kentucky's not playing? And my late grandpa, one of the biggest Kentucky fans I know, shared with me his formula on who to cheer for? And I wanted to share with you guys. All right, go ahead, all right, real quick. So number one obviously Kentucky know if fans and butts about it could be water Polo. We're cheering Kentucky. Number two SEC could care less you know, whatever team, but in the SEC you pick, but it's SEC. The number three we go State of Kentucky excluding Louisville of course. Then number four we go whichever team is playing louisv or Duke, and then we top it off with whichever team helps Kentucky the most by winning. So after following that formula, I can easily pick what team that you're for.

00:12:10
Speaker 2: I appreciate it, thank very much. Appreciate the phone call, Calldy. It kind of makes sense to me.

00:12:13
Speaker 4: Right, you good code to go by, even though I haven't had it written out like that. I think that's the same way I follow too.

00:12:19
Speaker 2: I kind of feel like I almost followed the Kentucky school's second, not Kane Louisville and SEC schools third.

00:12:25
Speaker 4: Something that's true. I would probably flip those two on my list, but otherwise I'm writing step.

00:12:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, like the Eastern and Western Northern Morehead, somebody's playing Murray. I'm rooting. I'm pulling for them, even if they're playing against an SEC school.

00:12:36
Speaker 4: Sure Louisville aside, I don't have any interstate animosity.

00:12:39
Speaker 7: I know.

00:12:39
Speaker 4: Even yesterday DJ Burns was like, it's awkward with the Murray Kentucky rivalry. I didn't want to interrupt and be like, what what are you talking about? What rivalry for Murray? You know, I guess being the big dog yet.

00:12:49
Speaker 2: Well I think people, yeah, people Murray look at Kentucky like they won't play us.

00:12:55
Speaker 4: They will calm down Murray, calm down because.

00:12:57
Speaker 2: That's been the big contentious that Kentucky wants to play Murray. But Murray went to a home and home Kentucky's like, we ain't coming there. If you want to play ass you got to come here.

00:13:05
Speaker 4: Mary can do something in one hand and something else and the other on that. But overall, I like all Kentucky schools across the board, minus Louslluh.

00:13:13
Speaker 2: You know we have the open on right now and you're anxiously awaiting because your draft kings Parlay could win it.

00:13:20
Speaker 4: I'm I'm very superstitious with the bets and when one's doing well but hasn't hit yet I try not to talk about.

00:13:25
Speaker 2: So I just jinxed you.

00:13:26
Speaker 4: No, I haven't said it out yet loud. Yet, it's more about me saying it out loud. This goes back fifties betting before I was eighteen. This was even my role back then. When you start counting it before it hits, it's when you lose. But I will say I have a twenty to one parlay. We're looking all right. I want to get too confident, but I'm feeling pretty good kind of sha.

00:13:47
Speaker 2: It's like the only thing legs Wow, I mean no, it's eleven legs. It's twenty to one, eleven legs, twenty one Shannon, this is like the only thing to bet on right now in Draft Kings with the Major League Baseball I guess kids kicks back up was talking about TVT tonight is a TVT on Draft Kings.

00:14:02
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've already betted. I'm all over that under one hundred and fifty four and a half. I made sure to get my bets in before telling anyone else. Now you all go bet all you want mine or locked in. But I have the under at one fifty four and a half and they're a thirteen and a half point favorite. I took them to cover, but I like the under.

00:14:19
Speaker 2: Well, So if you believe Willie and the Twins talking about they're putting emphasis on defense, you may want to bet the under in some of these games.

00:14:24
Speaker 4: I think. So this is not financial advice. You do. You gamble responsibly, never bet more than you're comfortable losing. But I do feel like Game one, they're gonna be trying to save their legs. They're playing the worst.

00:14:35
Speaker 2: Seat and it's got his phone out doing it right now.

00:14:38
Speaker 3: Familiar is thirteen and a half point favorite.

00:14:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, I bet that too, But I think defensively they'll do well. And maybe it's high and they score a bunch of points, but I think they might get a big lead in coast knowing there's bigger games ahead this weekend. That's my logic in my hood.

00:14:53
Speaker 2: So go to draft Kings, bet on low Familia all weekend, all weekend, hit it up. So all right, well, take our break, come back, go back to the phone. Nine eight five nine two eight oh two tweet seven Ryan Drew and Shannon, this is Kentucky's Ports Radio. All right, welcome back Kentucky Sports Radio. You tough enough, You tough Aiden Larros, Are you k punter? I enjoyed the interview talking to me about I'm glad he's just kind of, like I said, leaning into it, having some fun with it. Is ranking on the EA College Sports Football game.

00:15:20
Speaker 4: Yeah, it sounds like he's got some good personality. I know he hadn't done a lot of media here at Kentucky. Maybe he did at other stops, but very comfortable talking to him. Seemed like a fun guy.

00:15:28
Speaker 2: So maybe should we all tweet EA College Football?

00:15:31
Speaker 4: Is that what the I don't know what their Twitter handle is. I think they got I think they got lit up pretty good when when that first came up to.

00:15:38
Speaker 2: But we should all they're aware of what they did. They know and maybe will you say he should be a ninety aiight and Larrel should be a ninety.

00:15:45
Speaker 3: Don't give him a one at least, I mean not a zero.

00:15:48
Speaker 4: Not a zero?

00:15:49
Speaker 8: All right?

00:15:50
Speaker 2: I phone lines are open his segment if you want to call him. Get hiboard eight five nine two A two two eet seven. We do have the winners in the wild Eggs get certificate giveaway. I forget how many people actually have my number? That didn't go very well? Will at all. So I just did the first five. The first five people, we got you. We got your name and numbers, so we got we'll take care of you. And I don't know if anybody has found Josia yet at Wild Eggs walking around with one hundred dollars gift card in his pocket.

00:16:10
Speaker 4: At what point do you start thinking, Joe sid didn't show up for work.

00:16:13
Speaker 2: Well, I did leave before he did this morning.

00:16:15
Speaker 4: Is Josiah at home in bed with the Wild egg gift card in his pocket missing his shift?

00:16:20
Speaker 2: Highly possible. Let me tell you what he did though, Well we're talking about j Just say, I know this is this is a dad thing, but I guess it's an event. Now, when you want to ask your girl to be your girlfriend, you don't just assume it. You don't. You have to not only ask, you make it an event. And so he went and bought all these balloons, blew up all the balloons, hung balloons from his ceiling, all these candles, pictures of the two of them, and then he had these balloon letters said will you be my girlfriend? On his wall? Do you know it was at the thing.

00:16:55
Speaker 3: Now it's like a proposal or something. It literally was your a photographer.

00:17:01
Speaker 2: Is this is this the example you set for him? Is how to treat someone exactly opposite. I went to him like, is this what I need to do to Yovig girl? To I have to officially answer, ask her to be my girlfriend?

00:17:11
Speaker 4: Get dating advice from your soon to be college aged son.

00:17:14
Speaker 2: But did you know that's the thing, Like, you know they making an event when you ask him to go to prom. You know it's a big promotion, big production promotion.

00:17:22
Speaker 4: It's a you're going to prom with me? Congratulations?

00:17:26
Speaker 2: So now you have to make it a promotion production to ask them to be your girlfriend.

00:17:33
Speaker 4: See my era, as I'm recently forty, When I was in high school, middle school, it was all about writing notes. We didn't have these snapchats, so yeah, all these ways to communicate. You would have to meet them at their locker between classes, pass them a note. Hopefully you would get one back. If not, you would go cry yourself to sleep in algebra. But it was always about passing notes. I feel like there was a lot of will you be my girlfriend? Will you go to prom?

00:17:59
Speaker 2: At least ole?

00:18:00
Speaker 4: Yes, Yeah, we had to show off our penmanship. You know, you were getting judged by your handwriting. Now, kids these days are out buying balloons and this is too much. Just get back to pen and paper.

00:18:09
Speaker 2: He spent over one hundred dollars on this, decorations for his room with candles balloons, She says, Oh, a big teddy bear that's as big as me. A dozen roses, dude, what, yes, I'll send you the p I'll tell you what. I'm gonna tweet out the picture of his of the setup in his room. This is the room that caught him fire. And so now he's got to set up to ask him to ask her to be his girl. And of course she said yes. So now even though they've kind of been dating since they were freshmen in high school, she's now officially boyfriend girlfriend.

00:18:39
Speaker 3: Did he get her a ring? I mean it feels like he got her everything else.

00:18:44
Speaker 4: Are you sure this isn't a proposal?

00:18:45
Speaker 2: Well, I didn't see a ring.

00:18:47
Speaker 4: Goodness. But see, we just had we had like a pilot g two ink pin, five star notebook, loose leaf paper and then if you really liked him, you'd fold it real hard, get nice creases. Maybe you knew some more GAMMI, and you just passed the note off. Wait for class to be over, and then you'd find out if you had a girlfriend or boyfriend or not.

00:19:04
Speaker 2: What was there a word you used like, because when I was growing up, we'd say will you go with me?

00:19:08
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd say that was probably when I don't remember exactly, but it was just it was all about the notes. We weren't doing balloons. Maybe maybe I just wasn't doing it. Maybe earth people were doing balloons and I wasn't it.

00:19:16
Speaker 2: But you have a girlfriend in high school?

00:19:18
Speaker 4: I did. I wrote notes in exchanged notes my wife that's listening them.

00:19:21
Speaker 2: Shannon had like twenty five girlfriends of course.

00:19:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's notes going everywhere, coming from every direction.

00:19:27
Speaker 2: Eight five nine two two tweet seven. That's the car's pumpan shout phone number. Now on Monday, September eighth, we have our KSR golf scramble at Woodson Ben in Somerset. We've been down there for several years in a row. How many years the role we think we've been down there?

00:19:40
Speaker 4: That's eight Yeah, I was gonna say at least eighteen.

00:19:45
Speaker 2: It's been every year going down to Woodson Ben. Early in our KSR career that they almost kicked me. I was banned from Woodson Ben because my son stole a couple of golf carts and drove them around the golf course. We're staying there, but last this week, maybe two nights ago, one of their big condo buildings caught on fire and it is it destroyed it. I mean, it burned it down. It was a massive fire on the golf course at one of their condo complexes. So it's kind of eerie to kind of see that because we're gonna be there in about a month.

00:20:13
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I go there a couple of times a year. One of my good friends, his family has a place there. I've mentioned it before. We do shows. We used to see the Jay, Yes, see of the Jay. We used to do a golf weekend and he was sending me this in real time, giving us updates, and just at a place I've been so many times and been in condos identical to that one, luckily not that one. It's just crazy to see how completely engulfed in flames. I mean, that was a horrible.

00:20:34
Speaker 2: Fire, massive fire, and they're lucky it just kind of contained to one building and thankfully nobody was injured. I don't know if anybody was even home when the fire broke out. But it looked like one of those condo buildings that maybe holds like six condos maybe four.

00:20:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're they're usually a four pack or a six pack seon together.

00:20:51
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:20:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, it just looks absolutely awful. I didn't I did not see anything as you mentioned, you know, uh, people being in there, anything, but uh, just for a place that we're going to be soon, and we've did many times. To see it completely engulfed like that was.

00:21:04
Speaker 2: It was kind of take you back a little bit, doesn't it.

00:21:07
Speaker 9: Yeah?

00:21:08
Speaker 4: Absolutely, whoever everyone involved owns those they're able to recover and have too many valuables and family. Yeah, that's the stuff that it doesn't come back.

00:21:17
Speaker 2: Eight five, nine, two to eighty seven. Who's up next? Shannon, Bob and Jamestown Bob, Bob and Jamesown. Ho are you Bob?

00:21:25
Speaker 6: What are you're doing? Guys?

00:21:26
Speaker 8: What are you doing? Bob?

00:21:27
Speaker 6: Well, when it's the virtue that's always older women. They've got when you're in high school, they might have the driver's lights before you, and they're more experienced when you're older. It's older women. That's been my my key.

00:21:46
Speaker 2: Anyway, I've always wanted to know how Bob's dating strategy was in high school. He went after the mills. That sounds like, oh yeah.

00:21:57
Speaker 6: I was in the you know, the raw you know what, the fake That's that's where all the the better looking women were in the Yeah yeah, I was like stage crew. They have good parties, the best parties anyway. Guys, have a good weekend and stay cool because it's gonna be another hot one.

Speaker 2: All right, Bob, glad you're doing well too. Yeah, I'm glad we get some dating advice from Bob.

00:22:23
Speaker 6: Date.

00:22:23
Speaker 2: The good looking women are in the drama club because they know how to party.

00:22:27
Speaker 4: I'm retired from daddy. That would have been good advice back in the day.

00:22:31
Speaker 2: You're the only married guy left right now, although Shannon's kind of legally married for forty five years.

00:22:36
Speaker 5: Not true.

00:22:37
Speaker 4: You're about to propose, Yeah you are.

00:22:39
Speaker 2: I got to ask her to be my girlfriend. I guess that's the thing I gotta do.

00:22:42
Speaker 4: Well, I know we can get some balloons. Just go to the room down the hallway from yours. You're still that's that helium is still good.

00:22:51
Speaker 3: She doesn't listen to the show, doesn't she Yes, Well, then you've ruined.

00:22:55
Speaker 4: It or she'll appreciate your saving money.

00:22:58
Speaker 2: Good point too. Yep, So I left one part out of it. I was kind of involved in the setup where he went to get her, and my job was to light the candles. Keep in mind, that's the room that caught on fire already once. So I waited till he's right around the corner and let all the candles and we go in the room. He had like thirty candles. Wow, did he know you were going to tell the entire state? No, everyone listening doesn't even know. Right now, I don't even know if he knows what I know. If he knows what I do, we'll be right back. Kentucky Sports Radio.

00:23:24
Speaker 4: TJ Smith, personal injury attorney, called TJ.

00:23:27
Speaker 2: He'll make them pay.

00:23:28
Speaker 3: Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.

00:23:34
Speaker 2: Dude, we had the best conversation during next and it was the best best off air conversation we may have ever had. We all all three of us had a story.

00:23:45
Speaker 7: Yeah.

00:23:46
Speaker 4: Sometimes sometimes I sit and as we're talking, I'm like, I sure, hope Shannon that mute button over there, don't I don't know that this isn't.

00:23:54
Speaker 2: Every mind's the hot Mike. We won't tell you what we were talking about. Let's just say Bob and Jamestown's phone call kind of sparked some stories that we all were telling. Yeah, that's we'll just leave it at that. Eight five nine two two eighty seven. Ore Clark's publish off phone or if you want to call him, get on board. Uh. I just got a picture of Josiah wild Eggs.

00:24:13
Speaker 4: So he is there.

00:24:13
Speaker 2: He is there, and he does have the gift cards still in his pocket. If you know somebody lives over there, tell him just to go get this gift card. It's a one hundred dollars gift card and he's pocket at Wild Eggs.

00:24:23
Speaker 4: Matter of fact, you didn't say which location. Okay, I want to say it now you're there are multi Wild Eggs.

00:24:29
Speaker 2: He's at the Hamburg location. He's at the Han's where he works, works at the Hamburg location. I know that's the one.

00:24:35
Speaker 4: I know someone who lives across the street.

00:24:37
Speaker 2: Well, you should call him. It's one hundred dollars gift card eight five two to each other. I got a couple story, but a couple high school kids. I want to talk to THEIM go back to the phone line. One probably the leading candidate for Kentucky mister football. One of leading camps for sure is Evan Hampton from Owensborough High School. We know his family Drew you know he's dead. Is uh Brent Hampton, who's a official officiates SEC games, ACC game. You know, he's one of the biggest officials in the country. His grandpa's grandpa who works the scorers table at all the UK Games. He was a legendary official back in his day. Also now up in Cyndiana.

00:25:13
Speaker 4: Pizza too, Pizza. I haven't had one yet. I heard, oh you got one? Yes.

00:25:19
Speaker 2: I went to his house and he fixed it in his basements. Mac Whittaker was.

00:25:21
Speaker 4: There and it was a lot of fun to see him on Facebook.

00:25:24
Speaker 2: So Evan Hampton is the grandson and the son of Branhampton. Maybe the best player in Kentucky for next season. He originally committed to Louisville, did not commit to Kentucky recruiting to me, did not commit to Kentucky, committed to Louisville. Well, now he has flipped Shannon leaving Louisville, has committed to Vanderbilt. How about that Lego Pavia.

00:25:45
Speaker 3: How about Yeah, how about Vanderbilt getting a commitment from Louisville from Owensboro.

00:25:50
Speaker 2: He's from Owensboro, but I mean a flip from Louisville.

00:25:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, yeah, the guy that was going to be at Louisville and going to Vanderbilt. That's that's something you don't see very often.

00:26:00
Speaker 5: Yeah.

00:26:00
Speaker 4: I want him to be a cat first and foremost. I was pretty disappointed. I don't know him, but I didn't want him to go to Louisville. Uh, knowing the family a little bit, the last thing I want to do is have them been there. Kentucky fans, I don't want them root for cards, So if you can't be Kentucky. I like that he left Louisville to go to Vandy. And it does show that Vandy's got a little bit of swagger right now, more than they normally wive with Pavia. He was a big star at media days this week, talking a lot of noise. Vandy's starting to flex a little bit in the conference. They're still down at the bottom. Kentucky also at the bottom, but Vandy is If there's anything is momentum, such thing as momentum around Vandy football. They have some right now.

00:26:37
Speaker 2: See that was my point. This kid is from Owensboro, from Kentucky, maybe Kentucky, mister football. His family grew up in Cynthiana. They are right in UK's backyard. Didn't start commit to Kentucky to start with, and now open he's commitment back up. Lee's Louisville goes to Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt Stills won from Kentucky right here.

00:26:57
Speaker 4: And Rivals has him as a four star. He's a three on all the others, but number one in Kentucky on Rivals, which I guess I know I am somehow connected to go through out on the exact word there, but support Rivals decision on this Hampton ranking. But again I wish it were Cats, but at least it's not the cards. I did not want to see him wearing red.

00:27:17
Speaker 2: I agree, one more high school story you'll tell you about, and then we'll go to the phone lines. There's a dude in Scott County named Connor will Height. He is going to be a sophomore. Connor does play by play for Scott County basketball, Scott County football, Scott County baseball. I think he does Scott County girls basketball. He did it all these as a freshman with his own equipment, sets it up himself. He's a producer, he's the talent. He does stats, keeps his own scorebook, and he does his own podcast. He's had major major superstars on his podcast, Tom Leach, Karry Figgs, Ryan Lemon, Ryan got Ryan, Jim McKee. So Channel eighteen did a story on him and I tweeted it out. I'll tweet it out again. I'll retweet it, but you need to go see it because people ask I only ask you guys too all the time, how do I get started? How do I get you know, I want to do sports talk radio. I want to do radio and I want to do TV. How do I get started? Connor's showing you how you get started, and this day and age, you got to start early. And he's got his own equipment, sets it up. Scott County's giving him full access to do all these games. Just he's got an opportunity that most people don't even have after they graduate college, and he's doing it in high school.

00:28:32
Speaker 4: Well, I don't have to go look Connor up because a couple of nights ago, I said on the couch with my dad watching Elien eighteen and I saw the feature on him.

00:28:38
Speaker 2: Sell the story.

00:28:38
Speaker 4: I actually thought I should probably remember this kid his name because it might be working with him one day, or at least if not with him, he'll be in the media room at a UK something or other. So I do need to put a little note in my brain about Connor. And it was impressive. I enjoyed hearing him. They interviewed him on eighteen obviously, but he was doing like Scott County football previews when he was twelve.

00:28:58
Speaker 6: Yeah.

00:28:59
Speaker 4: I mean it's crazy how early you got to start, and you're right, that's exactly what you have to do. I did a little an interview with a journalism student over at UK this week and they're asking for advice and I was, well, one journalism school, that sounds cool. I didn't do that. You already got a pretty goodhit start there.

00:29:15
Speaker 2: But my big.

00:29:15
Speaker 4: Point is like, even if no one's listening or reading, just start something and be consistent with it and over time it'll grow. And that's exactly what he did when he was twelve years old. I doubt he was breaking podcast records with his Scott County preview, but he at least sat down and hit record and started something and stuck with it, and now three four years later he's featured on the news And that's that's exactly what it takes.

00:29:36
Speaker 2: I think it's a great story. And I have known Connor since he was a kid. Billy Hicks used to let him sit on the bench and have his you know, sport code on and red tie and he's glasses, sit on the end of the bench keeping stats and stuff. So Shannon, he will be probably our boss someday.

00:29:49
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean that's right, and you got to just pick it up and go with it. You have so many more opportunities now than you did years ago with podcast.

00:29:57
Speaker 2: You know when I, yeah, right, I started in a radio right, we didn't even know what.

00:29:59
Speaker 3: A pod cast was. You had to be an intern and then if you were lucky enough, you got hired. But you know, just now, anybody wants to start out to start your own podcast. There's a million million of them out there. You got to find a way to cut through the clutter. But it's a good practice to get started. Here's a connection for all three of us. His older brother is Jack will height, left handed pitcher Shannon, who's committed to pitch at Evansville drew back in our old stomping grounds.

00:30:23
Speaker 4: Oh nice, Yeah, that's to him though. Watch evans Ville play the Cats here a year or two ago.

00:30:28
Speaker 2: And they almost beat Tennessee in the regional last year. All right, eight five, nine, two to eighty seven. Who he got, Channon, Larry, Larry, go ahead, Larry.

00:30:38
Speaker 10: Hey, guys, how's it going? Enjoy the show? Nice to know that when Matt hangs it up, you guys will be able to carry you on the torch. Uh, real quick. I'm going to make a couple of comments and try to tie it together on basketball and football. The Archie good when uh interview yesterday was great. It just goes to show that a Caliperi, to me, was more about his way or no way and relying more on talent than coaching. And if he would have coached these guys to their strengths and their ability, to think of what more UK basketball could have had. And I'll lean that over to football with Stoops. The question I have with Stoops is have you guys noticed the past three years that to me on the sideline, the fire was gone in him? And I know with Benny Snell boom Williams Bowden. They wouldn't have had anything without the big blue wall when you had Landing Young there and Stoops is more of a blue collar, get down, dirty type of guy. And with Vince, with Ben, he wanted the stars, you know, the recruit. Let's get these five stars that we can get to Atlanta. And to me, it kind of took not that it was bad. We tried that, but that wasn't Stoops. So I'm kind of having the open mind with this season. Nobody knew who Terry Wilson was, Stephen Jackson, these guys when they came. We tried Vandergriff, we tried Leary, we had some success with Levis, but this team to me, has more of a feel back to the old Stoops.

00:32:33
Speaker 2: All right, let you appreciate it.

00:32:35
Speaker 10: We're having open the mind.

00:32:36
Speaker 2: Okay, appreciate it. Thanks to the phone call, I think he said something. A lot of people believe Stup' maybe lost a little fire, but I saw that fire back yesterday. That's why trying to get to in our opening segment, I kind of saw it back in his eyes a little bit yesterday. I love you, uh.

00:32:48
Speaker 4: In the the SEC Media Day's optimism you're carrying with you.

00:32:51
Speaker 2: I think the SEC Media Day is one of the most overrated things ever. But I saw something that change yesterday.

00:32:56
Speaker 7: It did.

00:32:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you have that much of a flip in your opinion, it must have been really important.

00:33:00
Speaker 2: Well, it wasn't him on the podium. It was him with Nick and Adam and Dick Gabriel, those guys. That's when I saw maybe a little that fire back that Larry was talking about.

00:33:09
Speaker 3: So Ryan Lemon's a believer again that we can say.

00:33:11
Speaker 2: I'm starting to believe a little bit.

00:33:13
Speaker 4: Why not many games are winning.

00:33:15
Speaker 2: I'm still at four or five, but I used to be at three or four.

00:33:20
Speaker 3: At four or five stick out of everybody.

00:33:23
Speaker 5: I know it.

00:33:24
Speaker 3: You'll be on my side before the season starts.

00:33:26
Speaker 2: Just get another phone call. Who we got, Shannon A. Let's go to John John, Go ahead, John, Hey, guys, Just to.

00:33:32
Speaker 9: Touch on the football thing, I think we sneak up on somebody more than once, like we did last year against Old Miss, and I think that pushes us over the U six wins or right after six wins. The other thing is I think it is so cool for these young guys, even the transfers that are on the basketball team right now that they get to see and know, even the guys that didn't stay here very long, what it's like and what it means to this city for our sports team, specifically our basketball what those people say. I mean, Willie is just enamored and being back here. Whitney said the same thing. Good one said the same thing. With that being said, you know, basketball who season time is going to be phenomenal for everybody. I think we're better than we're giving credit for on the football team. One quick question, two questions, Ryan, where's it going to be in the in Tates Creek for Wild Eggs?

00:34:29
Speaker 5: And Drew?

00:34:30
Speaker 9: What bottles do you need to complete Weller?

00:34:33
Speaker 5: All right?

00:34:34
Speaker 2: Appreciate, appreciate phone call. The new Wild Eggs well be the Tates Creek shopping center there by the Kroger somewhere in that shopping center. And I'm sure which location that's where it'll be. What about you, Drew? What Weller bottles?

00:34:43
Speaker 5: Do you know?

00:34:43
Speaker 4: I'm chasing the the Weller flight I need the uh uh, I guess the white one? The craft You're you're perfect bourbon?

00:34:51
Speaker 5: Does he?

00:34:51
Speaker 4: This makes sense to you?

00:34:52
Speaker 2: I tell you, see why you're talking a foreign language to me right now.

00:34:56
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, there's weller yes, and there's different kinds of welling yes, and they have a differ color of label.

00:35:01
Speaker 2: Okay, And I'm trying to get the rainbow set. The rainbow set, I have four of them. I don't have the white one. I don't know you, and it's a big get. I don't know why I was asking. That's a tough one to track down. I'm not looking for your favors there, but that's where I stand in my journey. I had one more thing Dad about his go ahead.

00:35:18
Speaker 4: He mentioned about sneaking up on somebody when I was playing around on DraftKings last night, when I hammered, uh a lot familiar and got my little parley that wink wink we're enjoying right now. I saw Kentucky's win total at four and a half. I almost hammered the over. Yeah, I said, you know what, Drew, let's sleep on it. I thought about it again this morning. I think I'm gonna take the over.

00:35:39
Speaker 10: Yes, hang on.

00:35:40
Speaker 4: I'm not like you. I'm not you talking myself into anything. But at four and a half, you can surprise someone like old miss, like the callers said when the other three I think I have not committed to it yet, but I have my finger approaching the button to bet the over on four and a half. I'm not drinking the See Media Day's kool aid with you. In fact, don't even pour me a glass. I don't need the kool aid near me. But I am thinking about the over on the wind total.

00:36:07
Speaker 2: There we go. Keep drinking that kool aid. It's gonna happen. Keep keep talking, Mark Stoops, It's gonna happen, all right, So we gotta take our final break, come back our finals. We still not talked about what happened at the Cold Plate concerts.

00:36:17
Speaker 5: We got to do that.

00:36:18
Speaker 2: Take a quick phone coffee on day. And we do have a winner. Somebody found Josiah. Somebody has won the one hundre dollars gift card from Wild egg. They found him at the Hamburg Wild Eggs. I just tweeted out the picture of the winner. Thanks for everybody participating, it's been a lot of fun. We'll be right back. This is Candegi's Port Radio Welcome Back, final segment of what's been a good week here Kentucky's Sports Radio. Matt'll be back on Monday. We're back on a remote next Friday at a bedliner place in Nicholasville. I'm drawing a blank on the name of right now, but that's where we'll be next Friday. Let me tell you what it is real quick, long since I said it. It is at Kentucky Customs and uplifting in Nicholasville, like upfitting.

00:36:55
Speaker 4: It is uplifting that we're going to be there.

00:36:57
Speaker 2: It's uplifting in there, upfitting what's fitting.

00:37:01
Speaker 4: We'll tell you about it next frowday. Okay, we can't give spoilers. Why would people listen if we're already talking about it now.

00:37:06
Speaker 2: So the biggest story across the country. We hadn't even touched on it till right now. What happened at the Coldplay concert? They had a kiss cam and they caught uh, a dude and a woman in an embrace on the kiss cam and then they scattered like somebody just dropped the bomb on him. Come to find out, it's a married CEO of a company and his HR director and he's married, she's married. She's married. She's the HR director at his billion dollar company. The head of HR and the CEO in an embrace embrace. She's kind of laying back on him, and they got their hands around each other, fingers interlocked, and the kiss cam shows up on them and you thought somebody was like through hot acid on the way they scattered like that.

00:37:49
Speaker 4: Well, even uh who leads here in cold places. They're either having an affair or they're very shy. He says that into the microphone. Yeah, yeah, I went and that popped up on my phone yesterday. I turned to my dad. I was sitting with him, and I was like, sometimes you just know something is about to be everywhere. And the moment I saw it, I showed him. I said, I'm showing this you now because he's not on Twitter and stuff. I was like, watch this now, because this will be everywhere within the next few hours. And it was if I open my phone right now, I bet it's three of the first things that pop up. And I see why. What an awkward, awkward, awkward moment. She bolted. It took him three to four business days to duck behind that wall. He did like a slow motion hide. In the third character, Let's not forget her, she has also been spotted because she didn't turn around and hide. She sat there and laughed, Yes she did. She also works in HR for the company and just got promoted this week. So I don't think it's a secret around the company that the top of the top of the brand there might be a little bit of infidelity.

00:38:50
Speaker 2: Shanon. How you think that conversation went when he went home to his wife then last day night?

00:38:53
Speaker 3: Probably not too well. I mean, the side piece chick just got a I think she just got promoted as well.

00:39:01
Speaker 5: To like that that.

00:39:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, lots of promotions.

00:39:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, the promotion.

00:39:06
Speaker 3: Do you wonder how she got that promotion?

00:39:08
Speaker 8: Huh?

00:39:08
Speaker 3: They did everything you shouldn't do, first of all. I mean, I'm going to assume they weren't the first couple that were shown on the kiss cam. So when you see there's a camera going around with kiss cam and you're cheating on your wife, maybe you shouldn't be, you know, interlocking arms great during that moment number two, If you just played it off and played it cool, nobody would have known the difference, moved on to the next couple, and nothing would have been said about this.

00:39:31
Speaker 2: So what if she would have it? What if she turned around and they kissed and kissed camp kiss cam moves to somebody else.

00:39:36
Speaker 4: Nothing happened. Nothing happened, nobody recognizes the CEO of astronomer in the hr billion dollars and went viral because of the way they scattered and all the new eyeballs that saw it started recognizing if I were him, hey, I wouldn't do that. You shouldn't. You shouldn't cheat on your schneef and others, and you shouldn't be doing that in your company he employees a double no know. But if you are going to do it and you're in that moment, I would have said, we're he I'm looking act like you're choking, and I would have saved her right there, and it would have looked even better for the company.

00:40:10
Speaker 1: That's true.

00:40:11
Speaker 4: So Shane's right, though, how dumb to hold her during the kiss camp. You gotta know there's a non zero percent chance you're gonna show up on the big screen.

00:40:20
Speaker 2: Unless that's the very first person they showed.

00:40:25
Speaker 4: Well, I've loved the reaction of it. There's been a lot of great memes for one lot lots of great memes. But his wife changed her name on Facebook instantly, not even waiting for an explanation. She's done, didn't didn't need any more evidence other than the clip from the Coldplay concert.

00:40:44
Speaker 2: If I'm not two two weeks and we're about out of time, so you want to squeeze on real quick, Shan, I'll let you take a pick who you whoever you want.

00:40:50
Speaker 3: Let's go to Scott.

00:40:51
Speaker 2: Scott go ahead, Scott.

00:40:53
Speaker 9: Go on, guys, quick question if we if we think I lost to Lovell, but we either beat Georgia Texas, so Tennessee, what team would you pick?

00:41:02
Speaker 2: Georgia, Texas or Tennessee? Said them, Yep, okay, appreciate the phone call you got, Drew Uh.

00:41:13
Speaker 4: This year, Texas they're probably national championship favorite. I'd love to beat Tennessee. I don't think Tennessee is gonna have a great season. So if you can knock off arch Manning in Texas at home in October, I think you take that.

00:41:26
Speaker 2: That's gonna be tough to beat any of those three. But if you've got to beat one of them, I want to beat Tennessee obviously, So I'm wanna take Tennessee. Hey, listen to Stockton Mortgage.
