Speaker 3: Welcome to our two Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now Here's Matt Jones.

00:01:04
Speaker 4: Welcome back out number two Tucky Sports Radio here at the KS Bar and grill. Come on out and join us. And remember tonight is Bengals Steelers. Who you got Steelers see? I think this would be interesting. Normally we get a big Bengals crowd. I've heard a lot of Steelers fans coming, and what if the Steelers out bingle the Bengals tonight. Plus they're calling at the Icy Hot Bowl to being over forty years old, Joe Flacco and Aaron Rodgers the Icy Hot Bowl tonight, sprouse.

00:01:34
Speaker 5: They're not moving it up to four pm, so those guys can get to bead on the Steelers thing. There is a big Steelers crowd in Lexington. They kind of bounce around, but I've seen them out. If you think there's a Steelers wave coming, I know it existed too.

00:01:47
Speaker 4: We have a server here who's a huge Steelers fan and she has claimed she's showing up in all Steelers gear tonight just to yell at people.

00:01:53
Speaker 6: I was like, well, you can't yell at the customers.

00:01:55
Speaker 4: You can like, you can yell if you want, it's your fellow work, but you can't be like taunting people who come here.

00:02:01
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, I know, it's a couple old guys, but it is a nasty old AFC North rivalry. I'm excited to watch it.

00:02:05
Speaker 4: Here we go, One Person Rights, Matt. Here are the likability rankings on the show. One number one Drew or number number one Ryan, number two, Drew, number three Matt H.

00:02:16
Speaker 6: Shannon for Billy five. Yeah the show. Yes, One Person Rights, Matt.

00:02:24
Speaker 4: How would you rank the likability of the U All? Okay, So if you're just talking about what the general there's two different things. There's the people who listen to this show regularly, and then there's the general public. For the general public, it's probably the case more people just know me, so I would be first. But then there's a lot of people in the general public who just hate me because they think, oh he's a stupid liberal, or you know, it's Louisville fans.

00:02:51
Speaker 6: So my what they would call.

00:02:53
Speaker 4: Q score would be probably higher likability, but also higher unlikability. But for people who listen to the show, if you were to really pull them and make them be honest, I think that this would be the list. Mario would be number one, no doubt, because no one dislikes Mario is the problem. No, he would get from regular listeners, he would be first. Drew would be second because no one there's almost nobody that dislikes Drew. Third is probably Ryan, but Ryan has his.

00:03:31
Speaker 6: There are women that have are like Ryan's gotta stop.

00:03:35
Speaker 5: Sometimes some neighborhood things.

00:03:37
Speaker 4: Women things neighbor There are some women that are like Ryan's gonna have to stop. So with men, Ryan's probably third. If it's women, I'm probably third. Then I'm probably fourth.

00:03:55
Speaker 6: And then I'd say Billy and Shannon is a battle.

00:04:00
Speaker 4: It's a it's a fight. Shannon's probably fifth, just because some people really like how sarcastic Shannon.

00:04:07
Speaker 5: He has much more exposure, many more years.

00:04:09
Speaker 6: He's on there every morning.

00:04:10
Speaker 4: And and and there are people who would rank Shannon one. Shannon has a contingent of people. They're out there, Oh I've met them who are std is number one. But then there I know a lot of women who are like Shannon is sexist. So he gets the extremes. But there were there would be Shannon one's and Billy would probably be six.

00:04:31
Speaker 6: But I think.

00:04:32
Speaker 4: Billy's score has raised a lot. Billy is now in the competition.

00:04:36
Speaker 3: That's right. You went from last to still last, but not as far and last.

00:04:42
Speaker 5: Yeah, you went from last to not quite as far last.

00:04:46
Speaker 6: I think that's probably fair.

00:04:47
Speaker 3: Well, that's progress for Kentucky football basically in the SEC.

00:04:51
Speaker 4: Until this year, until this year. All right, let's do uh, let's do some basketball here. I want to go through, uh the non conference games. Okay, I'm gonna do this with the conference games next week. I'm gonna go through the non conference games. I just want win or lose, and if you pick win, I want to know how many points? Okay, all right, Okay, win or lose? How many points? We start the season November fourth against Nichols. What state is Nichols in Louisiana.

00:05:23
Speaker 5: I just know it's our first opponent in the BBA.

00:05:27
Speaker 4: I think Nichols is in Louisiana. We open the season Tuesday, November fourth, that's Election Day, by the way. We open it against Nichols. Give me if you win or lose, and if it's a win, give me the score or how many points.

00:05:40
Speaker 7: It's a win? By twenty two? Yeah, I'm going win by twenty five.

00:05:46
Speaker 6: I'm going to win by thirty four.

00:05:48
Speaker 3: Shannon win by forty.

00:05:49
Speaker 6: Win by forty. Valpo Indian School in Indiana is second.

00:05:55
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say they win by thirty four.

00:05:59
Speaker 7: I'll say win a little less. I'm going twenty two.

00:06:01
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go win twenty four, Shannon win twenty six.

00:06:06
Speaker 5: All right. Then we go at Louisville.

00:06:12
Speaker 6: True, win by six.

00:06:14
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go win by three.

00:06:17
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go win by seven.

00:06:20
Speaker 3: Shannon win by one, win by one.

00:06:23
Speaker 4: All right, So we're all got at three and oh Eastern Illinois, Uh, win by forty two.

00:06:30
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's a win by thirty, win by twenty.

00:06:32
Speaker 3: Eight, win by thirty five.

00:06:35
Speaker 6: Michigan State and the champions Classic.

00:06:40
Speaker 5: Man, we got stomped in New York last year. We're not proposing in Central Park before this year. Right, I'll go win by four.

00:06:46
Speaker 7: A lot of engagements during that time. I'm going win by seven on this one.

00:06:50
Speaker 6: Surprising loss by four. I could see it.

00:06:53
Speaker 4: It's the it's kind of our payback for having beaten Duke last year as we take a surprising loss this year.

00:07:00
Speaker 5: So that's our.

00:07:00
Speaker 6: First loss by huge, win by five, win by five.

00:07:03
Speaker 5: All right, Loyola Home smoking them by thirty.

00:07:07
Speaker 7: Yeah, win by eighteen.

00:07:07
Speaker 4: Here, win by sixteen. We're a little frustrated. Why are we not blowing these teams out?

00:07:12
Speaker 3: Shant win by eighteen Tennessee Tech.

00:07:16
Speaker 5: We're gonna be motivated after taking the football loss, so we're gonna win by one hundred. And you think, because it's like a.

00:07:23
Speaker 4: Week later, you think we're taking the football loss.

00:07:26
Speaker 5: We walk in there fired up for the fighting whatever they are as ostrichers, A right, Eagles.

00:07:31
Speaker 7: I think the basketball team plays us as close as the football team. So give me fourteen win for Kentucky.

00:07:36
Speaker 6: I think we love John Pelfrey, but we pound them.

00:07:39
Speaker 3: Win by forty one, win by twenty.

00:07:42
Speaker 5: All right, Carolina at home, keep giving us wins. I don't think we're going undefeated, but I'm going to win here. Also, I'll say they win this one by two.

00:07:52
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm saying win by six.

00:07:54
Speaker 4: Rupp is gonna be rocket nine thirty at night, everybody's gonna be gindy and probably a little drunk.

00:08:01
Speaker 6: I'm gonna say win by seven.

00:08:02
Speaker 4: Shan win by three, all right, Uh, Gonzaga in Nashville, speaking of drunk.

00:08:08
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm raising both hands right here. Uh, we gotta win that one. But that they beat Casey or we beat them last year, at dude's back. He kills us every year. Kentucky wins on a buzzer beater. Oh way, his second buzzer beater in Bridgetone Arena.

00:08:23
Speaker 6: Oh, I like it.

00:08:24
Speaker 7: I will go loss by five in this one.

00:08:26
Speaker 6: Lost to Gonzaga, win by two for me.

00:08:29
Speaker 3: Shannon, Gonzaga owes us one. I'm gonna say Kentucky loses by four.

00:08:33
Speaker 6: So right now, Shannon, Billy and I have one loss.

00:08:35
Speaker 5: Drew has no losses.

00:08:36
Speaker 6: As we get into December ninth in North Carolina Central.

00:08:41
Speaker 5: It's another big win.

00:08:42
Speaker 6: Twenty four.

00:08:43
Speaker 7: Yeah, win by thirty here too.

00:08:44
Speaker 6: Win by fifty three.

00:08:46
Speaker 3: Shift three, win by twenty four.

00:08:48
Speaker 4: I spoke at North Carolina Central one time about the death penalty. I've told this story before, but I said, I'm against the death penalty in all situations. The guy raised his hand and goes, what about for Osama Bin Lawton? And I was like, well, if he was tried in American court, I'd still be against the death penalty. He goes, all right, Then somebody else raised her hand, what about somebody were to kill your parents? I was like, Okay, that's awful, but I would still be against death puilding And then somebody just stands up next and goes, well, if they were to kill him, and just pointed to the other guy on stage, and I was like, I need to say again, my answer is not gonna change. But they were just trying to come up with the craziest scenario they could. So that's why we're gonna beat him by fifty three Indiana at home?

00:09:42
Speaker 5: Who you got?

00:09:42
Speaker 6: What you got?

00:09:43
Speaker 7: Oh?

00:09:43
Speaker 5: Beating Indiana by thirteen?

00:09:45
Speaker 7: Yeah, beating Indiana by thirty three.

00:09:48
Speaker 6: I'm gonna say five.

00:09:50
Speaker 5: Yeah.

00:09:51
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be a close game. I think Kentucky about six.

00:09:53
Speaker 5: Saint John's Rick gets him. I think Pope is overwhelmed by Rick being across the the way. Okay. And so you're gonna say Saint John's by two, Okay.

00:10:05
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm taking Saint John's as well by three.

00:10:09
Speaker 5: My logic on that is, I just I can't pick us to win every game, so I had to pick somewhere.

00:10:12
Speaker 6: The student becomes the teacher.

00:10:15
Speaker 5: Okay, this is the Grasshopper moment.

00:10:16
Speaker 6: And Kentucky wins by.

00:10:18
Speaker 3: Six, Saint John's by.

00:10:20
Speaker 6: Five, okay, and then Bellerman.

00:10:23
Speaker 3: I gotta pick this one to be somewhat close. Kentucky by seven.

00:10:27
Speaker 7: Kentucky by thirty two, thirty three, Kentucky by ten.

00:10:32
Speaker 4: All right, so we have Drew and I only have one non conference loss. Billy and Shannon have two.

00:10:38
Speaker 3: So so that's why we're not like Billy.

00:10:44
Speaker 4: But what's interesting about this is we have a lot of tough confer non conference games, but they're all games that Like, if you think we're gonna beat Louisville, then North Carolina and Gonzaga and India are essentially home games. Right, Michigan State is a neutral. I have them losing that one like we've lost.

00:11:07
Speaker 5: We lost Ohio State I think last year in a game like that.

00:11:11
Speaker 4: But they do have a chance, Drew to have a really good non conference while they're still playing these good teams. When we played Gonzaga, North Carolina, Indiana, we're gonna have home games and then Saint John's, I would say in Atlanta, we have more fans there than Saint John's probably does.

00:11:29
Speaker 5: Right. Oh yeah, I was at that game in Atlanta three years ago when they beat Carolina and they're I mean, Carolina got into but they were Kentucky fans everywhere in that city before, during, and after.

00:11:40
Speaker 6: So I mean the heart, would you.

00:11:42
Speaker 4: I think the hardest game we have in the non conference is at Louisville.

00:11:47
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's a tough one point guard you. Apparently they're fired up for that.

00:11:50
Speaker 6: I mean to me, that is most likely the hardest game.

00:11:53
Speaker 5: When Ken Palm put out his rankings, he puts out like a forecast. He didn't have Kentucky losing to the middle of January. Yeah, I can see it all right, who's up next, shann Let's go to David.

00:12:03
Speaker 6: David, go ahead, David.

00:12:07
Speaker 8: Hey man, how are we doing today?

00:12:08
Speaker 6: Doing good?

00:12:10
Speaker 8: Uh called in yesterday, but we ended up running out of town, so I didn't get.

00:12:14
Speaker 9: To talk to you.

00:12:15
Speaker 8: Uh live in Cape Gerardo, Missouri, but I was visiting my mom in Jeffersontown, which is just outside of that bat name city in Jefferson County. So anyway, I was heading home yesterday, but I hadn't had to make a stop at Kentucky Brandon and shout out to Emily out of Shelbyville Road. Plaza ended up spending about two hundred bucks, so, uh, Chuba, kudos to that.

00:12:40
Speaker 5: Well good.

00:12:41
Speaker 8: The other thing is sorry, no go ahead.

00:12:46
Speaker 5: Uh.

00:12:46
Speaker 8: So on my way home, I ended up driving by your favorite little town at Vienna on Interstate sixty four, Poseyville.

00:12:56
Speaker 5: Yes, I.

00:12:58
Speaker 10: Have.

00:12:58
Speaker 4: I have used the restroom there in Posyville and police officer, that's exactly right, good memory, that's that was a decade ago, he.

00:13:10
Speaker 5: Us, I don't know that.

00:13:14
Speaker 6: Yeah, I appreciate the call, sir.

00:13:15
Speaker 4: I one time I was in Poseyville, Indiana, and it was late at night and I couldn't find a restroom and I just pulled off next in a like in a field, next to a gas station, and uh uh, just tried to use the restroom and a police officer came up. And I thought I was going to get I think they thought I was a vagrant and I thought I was going to get arrested in Posyville.

00:13:39
Speaker 5: And I didn't even get a ticket.

00:13:40
Speaker 4: He let me go with a don't just use Posyville as your toilet warning.

00:13:45
Speaker 5: Wow.

00:13:47
Speaker 4: I'm impressed that guy remembers that that was a long time ago. That was that was like over a decade.

00:13:52
Speaker 7: Well, you've taught me to use hotel rooms on a long road trip.

00:13:55
Speaker 4: Everything was that part of Indiana, that drive between. I can't remember what to take. I don't know if it's like Evansville and then Saint Louis or if it's Kentucky to evans Like there's nothing on it, so there's nowhere to stop.

00:14:07
Speaker 7: So you saw field and yeah, saw Field? Your business.

00:14:11
Speaker 5: That's right. Who's next?

00:14:12
Speaker 3: Let's go to Ryan Ryan?

00:14:15
Speaker 11: Go ahead, Ryan, Hey, Matt, Yes, sorry, sorry, you hooked up to my truck. My apology on the first off.

00:14:27
Speaker 5: Do anything.

00:14:28
Speaker 6: Don't say I hooked up to your truck. You hooked up to your truck.

00:14:31
Speaker 11: But go ahead, my phone hooked up to my truck. We'll agree that a mistake was made, and shame on the mistake for making itself.

00:14:38
Speaker 12: Anyway, as far as as far as the football goes, we have got to come to some kind of consensus on what is acceptable and what is not. And the question has to be if seven wins is acceptable and five is not, are we going to pay forty million dollars to win two more games?

00:15:00
Speaker 6: Yes, in my opinion, I appreciate the call.

00:15:02
Speaker 4: Seven is acceptable, Hive is five is acceptable to me? If you didn't win three last year or four last year, and if you were competitive, and if you didn't play silly, and if it felt like there was a positive future.

00:15:19
Speaker 6: But I don't feel any of those things.

00:15:22
Speaker 5: No, And God, if you did get to seven, heck out, that would be pretty impressive. You'd think Holly and Bowley moving forward, you'd be thinking next year would look good. But I just is there anyone in the fan base that has that optimism?

00:15:33
Speaker 6: No, I mean Kentucky.

00:15:35
Speaker 4: My my personal Kentucky football expectations are not super high, but they're higher than what it is now.

00:15:41
Speaker 6: That's that's the way I look at.

00:15:43
Speaker 7: Yeah, Well, what matters is Mitch Barnhark's expectations and where he feels they're at now.

00:15:47
Speaker 5: Yeah.

00:15:48
Speaker 4: Big news from corporate Hemp two new flavors of Seltzer, Shannon Raspberry Limeade and Blueberry Breeze Let's Go. They're perfect for when you need to unwind after a hard week.

00:16:27
Speaker 4: It is Kentucky Sports Radio here at KSBAR. Got a group here to saw from Louisville. Got folks, uh, I'm all over the state. Billy, You're up to fifty nine percent likable. That's a huge number for Twitter, which is like a pool of negativity. To get a fifty nine percent likable, that's really good.

00:16:48
Speaker 7: Well, I texted the family group chat as well.

00:16:50
Speaker 5: Got big family I do.

00:16:52
Speaker 7: I got some cousins that are helping out that number.

00:16:54
Speaker 5: Gonna start calling you Dolly rollers with this popular.

00:16:56
Speaker 4: But that's that's really good. But now you're worried about the negative common Why would you do that? You know, don't read the comments.

00:17:02
Speaker 7: Yeah, you're probably better than that that I am. I am deep in the comments right now.

00:17:07
Speaker 5: Just remember those people don't matter. They're not your life.

00:17:10
Speaker 4: One person writes Matt, I've started to find Billy much more likable since Cover zero and Interrupted. You should you all should do more of those shows. I think you are more likable since then. And I've I'm really enjoying doing Cover zero. I have to tell you, Like when the NFL asked us, I was gonna do it because it was the NFL, but I was kind of like, oh, dude, I want to talk more about the NFL. But doing it with Drew and then having you and Mario there, like, I've actually really.

00:17:38
Speaker 6: Enjoyed it a lot.

00:17:39
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a lot of fun.

00:17:40
Speaker 6: And we get to go to the super Bowl.

00:17:42
Speaker 7: Is that confirmed?

00:17:44
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm must say it is.

00:17:45
Speaker 6: Yeah. If we just keep saying it, then they can't let me keep saying that we might go to the super Bowl.

00:17:50
Speaker 5: We're just gonna be like, take the might out. They wouldn't have mighted us if it's not it happens at least possible.

00:17:58
Speaker 4: I mean, think about think about the four US rolling up to the super Bowl in San Francisco.

00:18:03
Speaker 7: Heck you San Francisco.

00:18:04
Speaker 5: And even if we're not official, I have a better chance of getting there than cam Ward. So we're ahead of the Titans and getting to the super Bowl this year.

00:18:11
Speaker 7: His misery.

00:18:12
Speaker 4: But but they're saying we might get to be on radio row for the Super Bowl.

00:18:16
Speaker 5: That would be awesome. Do you know what super Bowl is?

00:18:18
Speaker 6: Yeah, San Francisco, in San Francisco, that's right, get tickets to or is it just I mean Billy slow down media. They haven't even told us we can go.

00:18:27
Speaker 5: Out there. You have the big media day where everybody's there just asking all the questions.

00:18:31
Speaker 6: That'll be us, that could be us.

00:18:32
Speaker 5: We can go up to him and go, hey, man, what's up?

00:18:36
Speaker 7: Yeah, like what's up Daniel Jones and the Colte like we interviewed Brown Spider. We'll do it with actual players then.

00:18:42
Speaker 5: But I mean that's a cool potential thing.

00:18:44
Speaker 6: Yeah, for sure, so we'll see. You know, it's crazy.

00:18:47
Speaker 4: You can hear you hear ads promos for our podcast, Like somebody was telling me they were listening to Kelsey Brothers our promo ran.

00:18:55
Speaker 6: That's kind of.

00:18:56
Speaker 7: Nothing, unbelievable to think about.

00:18:57
Speaker 4: It really is insane, especially you see the level of production where we try to do it.

00:19:02
Speaker 7: Oh, we had to stop. Yesterday is a storage space every time.

00:19:07
Speaker 4: This is our heart in a nutshell. Just for the record, we're doing the podcast yesterday. Halfway through it just cuts off because the computer we're on has no more storage space. Shit you ever hear that happen anywhere else.

00:19:22
Speaker 3: It's happened to my computer in the studio that I'm.

00:19:24
Speaker 5: In one hour episode.

00:19:28
Speaker 7: Sorry.

00:19:31
Speaker 4: Stage one person writes Matt bottom line. Do you think Mitch Barnhardt would have the guts to fire Mark Stoops? It's a great question. Does he have the guts? Because it will take guts, because it's a huge amount of money, and it will make things difficult for UK Athletics because it's a huge amount of money, and you know, it'll put a lot of pressure on whoever's next tire is.

00:19:56
Speaker 6: Do you think he could do that?

00:19:58
Speaker 5: I think if it's three and nine though there's there's just not an option.

00:20:02
Speaker 4: It won't take guts. You just have to do it. You have to because I think we're finishing four and eight. For the record, I think we're finishing. I think we're gonna win one of these games randomly, we're gonna beat somebody we shouldn't. But I don't think we're gonna do it twice. So I think we're gonna finish four and eight. What if he does that, I.

00:20:23
Speaker 5: Think it's still got I mean, if your fourth is beating Tennessee and the year ends and that's their only hiccup, the rest of the way. Maybe you're like, well he did that, but even then on O, I mean it's one win.

00:20:34
Speaker 6: Does he have the guts to do it at four?

00:20:36
Speaker 5: I think ninety five percent of people would have the guts. I don't know that Mitch does.

00:20:40
Speaker 7: That's a great question because he got, you know, saved by the Chicken Man with col He's gonna have to make it a tough decision there.

00:20:46
Speaker 5: And well that's seem pretty obviously two years ago. He didn't. He made the decision.

00:20:50
Speaker 7: It was over.

00:20:51
Speaker 5: His decision was to keep him.

00:20:53
Speaker 4: Remember, I mean, it kind of gets lost to history, but Mitch decided to bring Cow back, and then Cow ended up leaving. But like he made the people wanted him to do that, and he brought him back, and it would have been miserable.

00:21:06
Speaker 5: And it's not just brought him back. They did that TV We love each other, y'are crazy? Stopped listening to the guy look at us.

00:21:12
Speaker 6: That TV interview was an embarrassment.

00:21:14
Speaker 5: It really was.

00:21:14
Speaker 4: It was an embarrassment, especially with the fact that Cal left two or three days late.

00:21:20
Speaker 5: Go had a leg out the door in the interview.

00:21:22
Speaker 4: That was an embarrassment. I mean, they tried to act like they liked each other. It's like, I know you all hate each other, just you know, it is what it is. They always would use that line, Well we don't send each other Christmas cards.

00:21:33
Speaker 6: Yeah, fair enough.

00:21:34

My guy Jonathan Kitchen, he's ut Big Hair. He has given me four tickets to give away to the UK Texas game lower level, which I'm going to give away tomorrow at the remote.

00:24:54
Speaker 6: Big Hair.

00:24:54
Speaker 5: First of all, thank you. You're a Texas fan.

00:24:57
Speaker 6: Why are you not coming to the game.

00:25:00
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's just the Breeders' cup around the corner. I couldn't squeeze in a trip to Lexington. I was in Italy for like two weeks. I needed to be on the couch this weekend.

00:25:10
Speaker 3: I wasn't gonna be able to make it down.

00:25:11
Speaker 4: Well, it's very nice of you to give the tickets to our listeners, so quickly tell us do you think Texas wins the game? Do your Longhorns beat but is a powerful UK football team?

00:25:22
Speaker 5: I do believe that we do.

00:25:24
Speaker 13: Look, I gotta be honest, I've been very and not like unreasonably frustrated with with arches progress.

00:25:30
Speaker 5: But you know, I think showing.

00:25:31
Speaker 13: Up last week in that big game against Oklahoma, he actually played well. I've been very disappointed with how he played basically every other game, you know, early in the season, and he didn't really have that. I'm a freshman excuse. I know he's a new starter, but he's been around for a while, so I've been a little bit frustrated. It felt like we had a much better shot this year than it felt like we did at the first part of the year.

00:25:52
Speaker 5: But he's turned around. Man. I thought he played really well last time.

00:25:54
Speaker 13: And unfortunately, the Wildcats quarterback situation isn't one that really necessarily makes you too nervous.

00:26:02
Speaker 5: You need to be nervous. You need to be nervous.

00:26:05
Speaker 4: It's it's cutter time, cutter cutter, peanut butter, and it starts on Saturday.

00:26:11
Speaker 5: We'll see.

00:26:11
Speaker 13: I mean, that's one thing that we do have, and we've been pretty consistently good defensive.

00:26:16
Speaker 5: But even if Arch.

00:26:17
Speaker 13: Doesn't play like I hope that he's turned the corner and is going to play the rest of the year. I still think that defensively, we we cause some problems for Kentucky.

00:26:26
Speaker 4: All right, so let's do this. You're always it's Keenland. A lot of people are going to Keenland this weekend, whether it be Friday or Saturday. Give me one pick for Keenland this weekend. That is the ut big Hit, Big Hair KSR Keenland Lock of the Week.

00:26:43
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay.

00:26:44
Speaker 13: The lock of the week is Saturday in race six the Perryville, the number five.

00:26:49
Speaker 5: Saturday Race sixth. It's called the Perryville.

00:26:53
Speaker 4: That's uh town in Boyle County, right, That's where we used to dig for fossils.

00:26:57
Speaker 6: When I was in governor scholar. All right, the pair. What's the horse.

00:27:02
Speaker 13: Number five, Captain Cook?

00:27:03
Speaker 5: It's a it's a horse that Cook.

00:27:06
Speaker 14: Yeah.

00:27:06
Speaker 13: He was on the Kentucky Derby trail trying to go long those longer distances. He switched trainers to to Todd Pletchera, a Hall of Famer. He's cutting back at distance and his last race in Saratoga was outstanding. I think he's the best one turned three year old horse in the country, and I think he'll prove that on Saturday as well.

00:27:24
Speaker 4: Lock of the Week, Captain Cook, Shannon't we putting money on it?

00:27:27
Speaker 3: No, not me.

00:27:31
Speaker 5: I'm in.

00:27:32
Speaker 6: You don't believe in Big Hair.

00:27:34
Speaker 3: I did until a Kentucky Joe out picked him one.

00:27:38
Speaker 6: That's okay, But Captaicad, you're in with me?

00:27:41
Speaker 5: Oh? Absolutely all right?

00:27:42
Speaker 4: So now give me a long shot one that I could get some price on that you feels kind of sporty.

00:27:48
Speaker 13: Yeah, well, Race nine on Saturday, there's a couple of Bob Baffort runners in there.

00:27:51
Speaker 6: They'll take money.

00:27:52
Speaker 13: I think Quiet Side and the Raven went on Saturday. Race my number eleven. She hasn't run since the can Tucky Yolk's very similar to what we saw with Captain Cook. A horse that was going probably a little bit longer than they want to go, trying to catch those big races. Now goes back to one turn, which I think she's gonna appreciate.

00:28:11
Speaker 5: She's four to one morning line. But you can spend that money too, all right.

00:28:15
Speaker 4: So race six we go to the Perryville Captain Cook. Race nine, quiet Side horse eleven is his longer shot, although four to one ain't the longest shot in the world.

00:28:26
Speaker 5: There big hair, but that's all right. I'll still it's not the longest.

00:28:30
Speaker 6: I'll still let you do it. Where do people get your picks?

00:28:34
Speaker 13: We have a podcast you can check out in the Money podcast dot com. We're on YouTube whereverywhere else you get podcasts.

00:28:39
Speaker 5: That's the best place to see.

00:28:40
Speaker 6: What we're doing.

00:28:41
Speaker 13: Then you can catch me on America's Day at the races on Fox Sports on the weekend.

00:28:45
Speaker 6: I followed Big Hair for a long time.

00:28:46
Speaker 4: Generally speaking, in my opinion, he does his best work at Saratoga and Keenland, probably because that's where he always gets you know, he's like wining and dining. He's like that, and that's where he gets all his rich people information. Jonathan, thank you very much, sir, take care of guys. Good to talk to you as well. And thank you for the tickets. We'll give those away tomorrow.

00:29:06
Speaker 5: Very nice to move with the tickets and the pick yes tickets especially.

00:29:09
Speaker 6: That's exactly right.

00:29:10
Speaker 4: If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven one person rights, Matt, tell me the Kentucky player players on the team that could go for thirty points in a game this year? Do we have any I think anybody scores thirty points in a game? Jayalen Low scores thirty in a game.

00:29:26
Speaker 5: Lo and Oway would be the top two picks.

00:29:28
Speaker 6: I think they're probably the only two.

00:29:30
Speaker 5: Yeah, Pope just doesn't play guys more than thirty minutes, so you know, you'd have to really get hot to get to thirty. I think Low is.

00:29:37
Speaker 4: The most like Low. Low's the most likely Oway will be one of those. He'll consistently get fifteen a game, but I don't know that he'll ever get thirty in a game.

00:29:47
Speaker 6: Jalen Lowe will have.

00:29:48
Speaker 4: Now, Jalen low will have a game where he goes two for thirteen and drives us crazy.

00:29:53
Speaker 6: But he will also have a game where he goes for thirty. Yeah.

00:29:55
Speaker 7: We saw Lamont Butler do something similar last year. I think Jalen low can fill that role nicely.

00:29:59
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jayalen low There're gonna be a couple of games. There's gonna be at least one game in the non conference where we play one of those bad teams just where Jayalen low is gonna just make everybody go, WHOA who's this kid?

00:30:10
Speaker 6: Do you agree with that? Yeah?

00:30:12
Speaker 5: And you know, we've talked a lot about how he just didn't have pieces around him. He's gonna take such a jump forward because he's also a great distributor. I mean, he's getting the laying and finished, but he's a great passorer. But last year didn't have anyone to pass to that could do anything with it.

00:30:24
Speaker 4: I think people have underrated his passing because of what you said. He just didn't have guys who could finish. But when you watch in practice, he sees things driving to the basket.

00:30:38
Speaker 5: He I.

00:30:40
Speaker 4: Hope I'm not wrong because I've got all my stock in him. But I think he's gonna be great. There was a Louisville fan, Rashaan Myers, who used to do radio with me. I like Rashaan, but he wrote yesterday everybody's overrating Kentucky. They have no stars on their team. And I don't know how you define a star. But if Oway and Low are not.

00:31:02
Speaker 6: Stars, then I don't know how many stars there are in college basketball.

00:31:05
Speaker 5: Like, if they're not stars, then who's a star? I don't know, Rashwan, So I'll call that the dumbest thing on the internet. Always the SEC preseason player of the Year, I don't know what more you want him to do going into the year.

00:31:16
Speaker 4: And his insinuation is Louisville had stars, Well, who are their stars?

00:31:21
Speaker 5: I mean, if Oway and Low are not stars, who's Louisville? Jayden Quainton's is a top five pick in the mock draft?

00:31:27
Speaker 6: Right now?

00:31:27
Speaker 5: What are we talking about? What's it? Scott Rashwan? Honestly, what's the dumbest thing I've ever seen? I say that respect for Levershon, I don't know you. The SEC preseason player of the Year is a star. I don't know how you even come to that conclusion.

00:31:39
Speaker 6: I agree with you, I mean, I know what he's saying.

00:31:42
Speaker 4: Like to me, Oway doesn't come off as like crazy college star that you can't stop.

00:31:49
Speaker 6: But with that said, if he's not a star, who is He.

00:31:52
Speaker 5: Had one game without double figures last year.

00:31:54
Speaker 6: I know he's so on.

00:31:58

I think I said it was Saturday originally, but it is actually tomorrow night, final home game in season.

00:33:05
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm gonna try to go. Speedy asked me to come.

00:33:09
Speaker 6: Speedy asked you to come.

00:33:10
Speaker 7: Yeah, And after I asked him what his goal celebration was and he said he hadn't scored in three years. I feel like I gotta go.

00:33:15
Speaker 4: Let me ask you a question. Chan And I just saw this on the news today. So the governor of Illinois's name is JB. Printzer.

00:33:21
Speaker 5: He's very rich, He's was a business guy.

00:33:25
Speaker 4: He was declaring his income for twenty twenty four. You have to do that in Illinois and tell everybody what it is. It was like seventeen eighteen million dollars, but included in that was one point five million dollars of gambling winnings. So he declared one point five million gambling winnings. That's a lot of money to be up in gambling. How do you and how do you think it is? He has a press conference today where I guess they're gonna ask him about it.

00:33:52
Speaker 6: Well, what do you think it is?

00:33:53
Speaker 4: You think it's sports, you think it's roulette, you think it's black jack.

00:33:56
Speaker 5: What do you think one point five million gambling is?

00:33:58
Speaker 3: I would guess sport, and I would say somebody with that kind of money is betting massive numbers, like big numbers. So maybe he didn't hit a whole lot of picks, but maybe he bet a huge, yes, an enormous amount of wagers on one or two games and hit him. And that's how you can probably do you.

00:34:14
Speaker 4: Do you like Drew your governor to have one point five million in gambling winnings or one point five million in gambling losing?

00:34:22
Speaker 5: You knowed it? I want him to be winning. I don't want a guy that's out an alley throwing dice trying to get back to even because he's down so bad a casino.

00:34:31
Speaker 6: It's an interesting question. What would you rather have Would you rather have her?

00:34:35
Speaker 4: Would you ember having a political official winning gambling, or you'd be like he's like because I mean, I guess you would say, if he's gonna use our state's money, i'd rather him win than.

00:34:45
Speaker 5: He's got to pay taxes on his winning, So he's putting some back in.

00:34:48
Speaker 3: What do you think Andy Basher's numbers look like?

00:34:51
Speaker 4: I'm gonna guess Andy Basher if you were to say, I think he probably goes to the horse track, bets a few hundred dollars and loses every single time, because he'll be like one of those things where you'd only bet on like a horse from Versales or something.

00:35:06
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say Andy won a cake at the Christ of King Picnick in a sack race, and that's the most he's ever gambled. He won musical chairs at a church picnicians and declared the chocolate cake.

00:35:20
Speaker 7: You gotta declare it.

00:35:23
Speaker 5: On the Illinois governor. I can't believe sports, and if it is sports, I want an investigation.

00:35:28
Speaker 7: Well, if it is, then he's gonna say, you bet on all the Chicago teams.

00:35:31
Speaker 5: See that's that's what I thought was most likely.

00:35:33
Speaker 4: He puts some sort of symbolic bet on a team from Illinois and then would.

00:35:38
Speaker 5: Have paid out that they don't. You have to bet against him.

00:35:42
Speaker 6: Let's do our Draft Kings pick.

00:35:43
Speaker 4: We are not gonna win one point five million unless we win tonight, right, bet five get two hundred dollars in bonus bets if you win.

00:35:50
Speaker 6: Uh.

00:35:51
Speaker 4: We go to Draftkingsdraftkings dot Com promo co ks R. I've got the shirt Steelers and Bengals, Icy hot Bowl, Joe Flacco versus Air Rogers, two old forty year olds try to make it happen. The Steelers are a four and a half point favorite in Cincinnati.

00:36:07
Speaker 5: Who you got Steelers win? But can I take the over? I think Flacco and Chase are gonna score some points. They won't win the game, but the Bengals defense sucks, so I think Rogers and Flacco are actually gonna light it up a little bit. Today. You're taking out The over is forty four and a half. Yeah, usually Thursdays are under but I think Flacco might have a little something with Jamar Chase tonight, even though they don't win.

00:36:26
Speaker 7: Billy, I love the Flacco story. He just comes in, slings it without knowing the playbook. But I'm going with your guy Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers tonight.

00:36:33
Speaker 4: But they would make the Steelers five and one if they win, Shannon, what do you got?

00:36:36
Speaker 3: Give me Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers to cover the four and a half.

00:36:40
Speaker 5: Flacco is not going to be wacko at home.

00:36:42
Speaker 4: This is old man Flacco with his five o'clock shadow and his multiple gray patches of beard.

00:36:50
Speaker 6: Comes out and what's wrong with that? Nothing wrong with that?

00:36:53
Speaker 4: And he comes out and he like he you know, puts on the icy hot, he puts his depends on, and he's out there and.

00:37:02
Speaker 6: I don't know why he needs depends.

00:37:04
Speaker 5: We might have to go, Buddy, won game.

00:37:07
Speaker 6: He puts on his depends and he he covers the four and a half. I don't know if they win, but Billy, they cover the four.

00:37:13
Speaker 7: Okay, I like it. I know his kids won't be rooting for him, but you will.

00:37:16
Speaker 5: Why won't his kids be Joe? Joe Flacco's kids don't like him. They always where the jersey of other players, so they'll probably have on an Aaron Rodgers jersey tonight.

00:37:23
Speaker 6: Oh that's right, you mentioned that on Cover zero.

00:37:27
Speaker 4: Jerseys yeah, so, yes, you can watch that game here tonight.

00:37:32
Speaker 6: Uh, just speak. Don't be upset if one of our servers is talking trash.

00:37:35
Speaker 4: If you're a Bengals fan, who's next, Austin, Austin, go ahead, Austin.

00:37:41
Speaker 10: Hey, guys, the first time calling me into the normal show, I usually, well, thank you. Couple a couple of things here, Oh that big boy man, that's man. What an amazing time that was.

Speaker 8: Y'all at a remote and pot meal.

00:38:07
Speaker 4: Well, we will do what I promise you at some point. I appreciate the call, Thank you very much. I got a question for you, sir. Your wife and kids have slowly moved to a table elsewhere. The food is there, but you're still listening. I appreciate that. It also, though, makes me think your wife doesn't want to hear my voice.

00:38:28
Speaker 5: She moved to the other side of the restaurant. It's far away as possible.

00:38:36
Speaker 6: If you want, I'll go give her like a private show.

00:38:39
Speaker 5: We'll give a ted talk.

00:38:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right, But slowly, one by one they all just moved to the other.

00:38:44
Speaker 6: But the food's there. That makes more sense, That makes more sense. Who's next, Martin, Martin? Go ahead, Martin.

00:38:51

00:39:08
Speaker 5: It's great.

00:39:09
Speaker 4: It's actually very I'm not gonna say it is very funny, really buttlet.

00:39:15
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'll give them that one two chet.

00:39:17
Speaker 6: Why you should you shouldn't like, you shouldn't let these people get to you because at at its core, they only give you a hard time because they like.

00:39:26
Speaker 7: You used to I'm pretty good at it now.

00:39:28
Speaker 5: You did use he did used to bother You didn't.

00:39:30
Speaker 7: For sure, Yeah, absolutely, But.

00:39:32
Speaker 5: You remember you came in so hot.

00:39:35
Speaker 6: It was.

00:39:35
Speaker 7: It was a hot start, There's no doubt.

00:39:37
Speaker 6: But it also I think worked for you because I remembered you because you came in so hot.

00:39:42
Speaker 7: The Jennifer Lawrence thing.

00:39:44
Speaker 5: Yeah, you said Jennifer Lawrence would date you no matter what.

00:39:46
Speaker 4: You had your hair slicked back, you had those big glasses, and you.

00:39:50
Speaker 5: Said you were taking Shannon wearing like you were wearing like, uh, Jeffrey Dahmer glasses at the time.

00:39:58
Speaker 7: You're not wrong. Shannon was actually a big help in this because he would show me some of the fan mail he got and it would just be letter no Shon.

00:40:06
Speaker 4: I mean, Shannon was the same way, Shannon when you started, you got a ton of hate.

00:40:10
Speaker 3: D Yeah, yeah, it does. That's right. I still do, absolutely and I don't care though.

00:40:14
Speaker 4: So Shannon was You and Shannon have that in common. For moment one, you came in really hot. But I also think I appreciated that. I like the fact that you.

00:40:26
Speaker 6: We had We now have six people on this show with six very distinctive personalities, and I really really enjoyed that.

00:40:35
Speaker 7: Well, thank you for letting me be a part of the team.

00:40:37
Speaker 6: It's been a fun It's not you you have you have you have earned it. Uh.

00:40:41
Speaker 4: By the way, before we go, did you see what Todd Golden said about Denzel Aberdeen. Todd Golden was asked about Denzel Aberdeen leaving Florida for Kentucky and he said he had some priorities beyond winning a champ second championship here seemed like a shot to me at Denzel Aberdeen, which is a weird thing for a former coach to do.

00:41:02
Speaker 6: Didn't you think it's.

00:41:03
Speaker 5: The second maybe third time this offseason he hasn't been very shy and saying, you know, he didn't say it was the money, but he said there was an offer that he couldn't turn down. Beyond bag, he walked right into saying it was the money. I don't understand why Todd Golden feels the need to do this.

00:41:18
Speaker 4: I mean, you just won a national championship, and you won a national championship when a lot of people might have lost their job, and you won a national championship and you are on top of the world, and you've got a team that could win.

00:41:32
Speaker 6: It again this year. They've got a great team.

00:41:35
Speaker 5: Why take You're right?

00:41:38
Speaker 4: Drew multiple kind of passive aggressive shots at your former player.

00:41:42
Speaker 5: Why do that? Because he's broken, couldn't afford him, I guess, but wanted him, but it seems better.

00:41:49
Speaker 6: It's not like they're not good, they're good. They're good, So why would you why do that?

00:41:54
Speaker 5: Well, they had all three of their guards leave and just guessing. Golden probably in his mind, was just counting on average and stepping forward in one of those spots. And then when Aberdeen had a big offer, but.

00:42:03
Speaker 6: He went and got boogie flanned from Arkansas.

00:42:09
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it's just jarring when we don't hear coach speak, you know, And this was just he probably just got a little personal about it.

00:42:15
Speaker 4: Yeah, because he sounds very better. By the way, did you see. I mean, I know it's an exhibition game, but the first game of the Stephen Pearl era did not start out great. They lost at home to an Oklahoma State team that's supposed to be bad this year. Oklahoma State team had three starters out. Three of their five starters were out, went to Auburn and beat them on their court.

00:42:36
Speaker 6: And I know it's an exhibition game, but still and he wakes.

00:42:39
Speaker 5: Up and his dad took a job somewhere else to get away from it.

00:42:41
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, Stephen Pearl, it's it may not well. Forty six solutions tomorrow. Thank you all very much. This has been Kentucky Sports Radio.
