we have Kentucky Sports Radio

best of

always old. That's not my words.
That's his manufacturer's words, Cobra Golf. We have Kentucky Sports Radio, best of.
Always one of our favorite days of the year. Some great callers.
Joanne, especially Joanne, who absolutely dunked on us. Basically called us out for being idiots.
So we put that in the show. Very, very fun.
And we have Fyre Fest of of the week and we're all back together now jake is here as well so we're gonna get right back to part of my take.

Okay, let's go.

Boy!

Boy! No place to hang out or washin' And then I can't lay all on the sun Oh no We're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue And then we'll take it higher Oh we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue It's Part of My Take presented by Barstool Sports. We officially have a series in NBA Finals.
The Bucs have evened it up. Oh, boy, was that an awesome game.
I mean, it gave us maybe the best moment of any finals in the last probably three or four years. That block.
Oh, I thought you were talking about Devin Booker's ninth foul. Well, it was Devin Booker's tenth foul.
He just fouled again. Have you heard that one yet? Oh.
Devin Booker had seven fouls. Can I just.
We're going to talk about the block. A quadruple double.
Can I just say shout-out to the Suns fans who have – I've seen them lurking around being like, it's unfair that Giannis didn't go fully out of bounds for that one inbound at the end of the game. It's like Devin Booker had eight fouls.
Yeah. Also, Devin Booker, you could make the argument that maybe you would have been better off if they didn't make that basket right afterwards.
Obviously, in the heat of the moment, you want Devin Booker on your team for the rest of the game. I think he was the only one who was doing it for the Suns.
But yeah, that block, Giannis' block, pantheon of blocks, greatest finals block in history. I'd say it's the greatest turnaround.
No question. Yeah.
Greatest Mike Breen witnessed finals block of all time. It also was maybe the highest block of all time in NBA Finals history because of where it like took place it took place so far above the rim yeah that it was it was just insane and i know that i i think what i was thinking about it more because it's one of those plays that i woke up still thinking about it and the reason why i love it so much is when you get to a finals in a league what you're hoping for as a fan is to see guys playing at their absolute apex and best on best and best plays on best plays.
And Devin Booker even having the presence of mind to throw that lob, which was a great lob. And DeAndre Ayton, who's been playing great in all playoffs, and then Giannis coming over the top and blocking that ball.
It was magnificent. I want to say it's magnificent.
I think that between Aiton and Giannis, that might have been the most combined feet and height of a block of all time. Yeah, and my greater point is I know that there's parts of that game.
That game was stupid and awesome at the same time because, like, you know, Jay Crowder's flopping everywhere. P.ucker's flopping everywhere drew holiday's missing every shot i'm gonna chris paul is i'm gonna give my the stinker of the night award to chris paul well chris paul what did you make me watch award goes to chris paul it was so there was parts of the game that were just chaos and bad and whatever but it was exciting and then my point is when you get to these moments and you see the peak level of athleticism and talent shine through in what Giannis did, I don't know anyone else who could make that play in that moment, and Giannis coming off of what? He fucking broke his knee like three weeks ago.
It was just awesome. It was like 14 days ago, his knee bent to the side.
We all saw it happen. We didn't just make that up.
His knee literally hyperextended. Everyone thought he had torn ACL, torn PCL, torn MCL.
And he's able to pivot off that foot, leap off that one foot, and then sky probably like 12 and a half feet into the air with his hand

and time the block perfectly on a guy that is awesome at dunking the ball,

the guy that did the value.

Yep.

And I forget who I saw say it.

Somebody said this online.

Find me who tweeted this out, Jake.

Someone said, I've never seen a guy defend the alley and the oop at the same time.

Yeah, he did.

And that's literally what happened.

Yes, he was doing it all. And it was – shout out ESPN for not showing a replay right away.
That was a very, very good presence of mind. They decided to instead show a replay of Chris Paul's 10th turnover of the night.
That was kind of the game. Like the Suns were sloppy with the ball and the Bucs weren't and the Bucs were awesome on offensive rebound shout out Pat Connaughton because I know I give him shit and I do think that he's in a spot that you would like for Pat Connaughton to not have to play that many minutes but even like the minutes he like the fact that he's playing and he plays so goddamn hard and he's actually made some huge shots there's been moments moments where you look at it and you're like, that doesn't fit right now.
But he keeps on trying his absolute hardest, and he's making big plays, and he's making big rebounds. And I think I might just become a Pat Connaughton guy.
And there was a stat that he struck out Jameis Winston, and then also, what was that, all in the same year? I'm not sure. When I was in high school, he was similar age and he was on every magazine.
He was the greatest prospect in Massachusetts high school history. He was awesome.
Baseball and basketball. Again, there are moments where you're like, uh-oh, Pat Connaughton, when he basically tried to pass the ball underneath the hoop with three guys on him.
But he's been integral to the Bucs' success in the last two games. You could definitely say that he is the American version of Dele in this playoff series.
Sure. Every word that you use to describe Dele, that is Connaughton.
All roads lead back to Dele, yes. All roads lead, but it's exactly true.
If you look back, I'm not getting bonked for Dele. Nothing wrong with being horny for a fellow Australian.
Talk to me in my language. How is he like Dele? How he is like Dele.
Give me an analogy where he's either Dele, Greeny, or Danny Woodhead, and then I'll appreciate him. I'd say he's got more offense than Dele.
Well, Dele had a couple of those games when he was helping LeBron out in the finals the year that they won, and the year that he put the clamps on Steph Curry when Kyrie Irving went out. But you do have to have role players play better at home, and that's what's happening and uh Chris Middleton I mean we should I can't believe we've gotten this far not talked about that like I I like that Chris Middleton now has everyone befuddled because we we have uh this rule in media and how we digest all these games like are you a superstar or not 40 points you should be a superstar but he's He's not.
He's just a guy who's very good and then sometimes great. And I think that's a totally fine place to put him.
So he was incredible. And we should talk about Chris Paul.
Chris Paul, are we going to do the injured thing? I think that it's not necessarily an injury. I don't know what vertigo is.
Is that considered an injury or is that considered a disease or an ailment? Yeah. I think he has vertigo because he looked dizzy when he was trying to dribble the ball.
He didn't know where the ball was going to come up after it hit the ground, after he dribbled it. I don't know.
I feel like it may be something with his hand or maybe mental. Yeah.
It's weird. I feel very bad for our friend Ryan Russillo.
That's a tough mountain to be on right now with Chris Paul. You hope that he's injured.
Not that I hope that he's injured, but you hope that that's... It's not just who he is as a player.
Yeah, it's not like a mental thing that he just can't play basketball in the biggest moments. Yeah, the Monstars got him.
Actually, it honestly looked like he was dizzy out there. For Ryan's sake, you have to hope that he's got to be injured because if he wasn't injured, you were really wrong about Chris Paul being a good player.
And that's your job, right? That's your job to watch the tape. Yeah, he does watch the tape.
Yeah, he has not been good. Drew Holiday has been great on defense.
He can't hit a shot to save his life, but he's great on defense. So Chris Paul looks drunk, maybe injured, but you also have to give credit to Drew Holiday for playing great defense.
And the weirdest one was when Chris Paul, he was deferring to campaign in big moments, and the one guy you don't want to defer to is campaign because campaign will take that deferment and then just shoot every single shot.-huh you just you have to you have to put a very short leash on campaign i tweeted it last night but there is something about campaign and i actually think that you get value out of a guy who's who's i think he's starting but coming off the bench or like playing those type of minutes who has the i'm the best guy out here feeling because you you want someone mamba mentality Yeah, who will, even though he's not, you want someone who will give you those minutes like, oh, he can maybe take over, get hot. But the best thing that happens in every game is when campaign is like, I got this, and then he doesn't even come close to having it.
He got blocked by, I can't remember who blocked him. I think it might have been Pat Connaughton, but he basically dribbled directly into four people and was like, I got this, and wasn't even close to having it.
Hero ball, yeah. I like campaign because he's not afraid, but if you're a coach, your job is to make campaign afraid occasionally.
Put a healthy fear of the basket into him. Be like, hey, listen, if you got one-on-one and there's absolutely nobody else who's open for a pass and there's five seconds left on the chocolate, you have the green light.
That's the campaign green light. Anything above that, it's like, let's try to play some team basketball.
Shout out to Buds, the man in black, looking like a legend on the sidelines, looking like Johnny Cash. I think Buds is a guy that looks better when he's not wearing a suit.
Most other coaches, it's like, be nice to see that guy wearing a tie occasionally. Buds, he lives for that man in black look.
Yeah, and I likened him to a frustrated, overworked restaurant manager because he has that face where he's like, another fucking six top. Yeah.
like 10 30 and we close at 11 i could see that i could see that i could also see like the head bartender at an upscale chain restaurant you know the guy that's back there pouring the specialty cocktails and he'll get mad at you if you don't like the cocktail he serves he's like actually those are impeccable ingredients. Yeah, so it was a great game.
It was a stupid

game. It was a great game.
What do you got, Jake? Yeah, I got

a few things following up from earlier.

First off, there was a guy named Soapy

who said defending the alley

and the oop. Yep.

Second off, Pat Connaughton

struck out Jameis and dunked on Jabari Parker.

There it is. Which

both of those have an age great.

Jabari and Jameis.

Yeah, yeah, in college, though. Striking out Jameis? Yeah, he can't see.
I thought he was a pitcher, too. That was pre-LASIK.
He might have hit a home run off Jameis. Jameis was a pitcher, but I think he also hit.
And then lastly, vertigo is technically a sensation of whirling and loss. That's what he's got.
Got it. Chris Paul with a sensation.
Hitchcock. So I...

If Chris Paul's hurt or has

vertigo or is just mentally

not able to step up to this moment,

I think the Suns are

in big, big trouble. Because you had...

Devin Booker is doing everything now

and he's... I mean, he was

phenomenal. That third quarter

was incredible. Obviously, the foul

trouble hurt him, but...

and especially the eight fouls he had.

But, man, you need Chris Paul

All right. Phenomenal.
That third quarter was incredible. Obviously, the foul trouble hurt him, and especially the eight fouls he had.
But, man, you need Chris Paul to do more than two points or whatever he scored. I think they'll be okay once they get it back to the Valley because the fans down in Phoenix have not left the stadium.
I think that's the same group of fans from the last game that they keep flashing to and showing, hey, these guys are in the arena right now. They've been doing Bonnaroo for the last four or five days.
They'll be ready to go. I mean, in this series, you definitely see each team is a completely different team at home.
Yeah, absolutely. And there's been, I mean, the games besides game three and game one, like game two and four, I have been fairly close.
I just don't, you need Chris Paul. That's not a hot take.
That's not a crazy thing to say. You need Chris Paul to be playing as best as possible.
Does he have double COVID? He's got long effects of COVID. I'm sure there's someone who's throwing that out there.
Yep. Dan Wilkins firing up that column right now.
He's like, well, this is why we should have canceled the series as soon as he came down with kovat this is why we should cancel balls yes um anything else from the game again it was it was just cool to watch a game that was it felt like the stakes were so monumental fans rocking it was just awesome i loved it i loved every second of that game let me see how many points did chris paul score he Oh, he ended up with 10 points. I think he had that.
He did score a layup with like three seconds left that was just very much, hey, this is good that I'm going to get this on the stat sheet. He went coast to coast to beat the clock.
Yes. I like it.
One other note. I think it was a tie game at halftime.
I hate that because they're doing the Taco Bell. You come back.
You win a free Doritos Locos taco. They'll bring the taco back.
And if it's a tie game, then no team can come back and you lose the prospect of a free taco at halftime. You lost a lot of viewers on that one.
It should be whoever scores the first point. Then the other team is the comeback team in the second half.
Yes, I like that too. It's not hard.
Or just how about this? Just give everybody a taco Taco Bell. Yeah.
Or just steal the ball and get a taco. It's a little bit easier than baseball like the steal a base get a taco but well yeah i mean chris ball you just have to stand around chris right and you can get a steal at this point he had five turnovers and five made field goals that's not good i mean if if kava is smart they'll be like if if janice gets a double double you get a free euro yeah that would be Yeah, that would be good too.
I'd take that. Yeah, I'm just excited.
I don't know. People are probably going to say it's lame, but I just love big moments, and I love the fact that we have a Saturday night.
Whenever you get a series officially becoming a series, and it's 2-2 and Game 5 feels like all the stakes, it's a Saturday night, basically have it be the tent pull of your weekend like I can't wait for the Saturday night game 5 NBA final. I mean I don't know if anyone's going to call you a slam for being like that block was awesome that block honestly I know what you're getting at when you see a guy do something at the peak of his athletic performance in the biggest moment possible it's life affirming.
That's why I like watching sports is to see people do exactly that. So thank you, Giannis, for making me feel like for a night I have not wasted my life.
It's the moments when everyone is playing at their absolute best, and that wasn't the case for the whole teams, but when Devin Booker and DeAndre Ayton are running a pick-and-roll and the alley-oop and Giannis is able to block it. I mean, it's just fucking bad.
He explained what went through his mind, and that, to me, might even be crazier, like listening to him talk about all the things that he thought in that quarter of a second. He was like, well, I came off Ayton because I wanted to step into the lane and help, and then I could feel Ayton behind me cutting to the rim.
No, he was like three feet felt him with like a sixth sense yeah extra sensory perception felt ayton going to the rim and then when the ball went in the air he realized he couldn't get to ayton fast enough so he jumped towards the rim instead all that went through his brain while taking a step off of his injured knee leaping higher than any human on earth can get and then having the presence of mind to like get to the ball and block the shot to me that's that's more impressive than quantum physics and fingertips and he blocked it with his fingertips that to me is the peak of human performance i don't care about the theory of relativity i don't care about astrophysics i i would i think if you took janice in a room for long enough you you could teach him all the stuff Neil deGrasse Tyson knows.

You could not teach Neil deGrasse Tyson how to swat a play in the fourth quarter of an NBA Finals.

Yeah, no, absolutely not.

And I also am just happy that when a shitty call happens,

you hope it doesn't decide the game.

So in a weird way, I was very happy that the Bucs won

after the Devin Booker.

I don't know what Devin Booker was thinking. Like, that was insane that he was thinking that.
And that foul doesn't end up impacting the end of the game. So whenever something like that happens at the highest stakes, you just hope that it doesn't change everything.
Devin Booker was just trying to make a play there, Big Cat. That's what you say when you make the dumbest mistake of all time.
I'm just out there trying make a play it was madness because it was devin booker what are you doing devin booker what are you doing refs what are you doing oh janice just put back a layup where he was basically behind the backboard when he when he released it yeah what janice did here is like going out to get the worst meal ever but having the best sauce that's on it so we were served a shit sandwich and then the besteso ever came in and saved the day. And Chris Middleton, legacy, he's racking up the legacy quarters and games.
He might actually be the best. By the end of this, if the Bucs end up winning this, Chris Middleton might be the best player in the NBA, just purely on how many legacy games does he have.
I think he's had a couple legacy halves. And quarters.
Well, definitely quarters, because you've got to have two of those to make a legacy half. I would like to see him put together a legacy series.
Yeah, I mean, last night was a legacy game, so he, yeah. I don't think, no, I don't think you can have a legacy game if your legacy game is overshadowed by a legacy play.
No, but Chris Middleton was the reason why they won that game. Yeah, but that legacy block.
He was so incredible. I think that you have to...
In order to have a legacy game, you have to have the biggest highlight from that game. I don't know.
Who's winning the series? Suns. I think the Bucs.
I do. Me too.
I think it's Suns. And it's based solely on the fact that I don't...
I do... We always mock whenever Steph Curry has a bad game and we're like, well, he must be injured his ankle.

We mock that storyline that always pops up.

I do actually think Chris Paul has some type of injury because there is no explanation

for how he's playing.

And if he has that type of injury, the sons are kind of fucked.

Yeah.

I mean, they are.

They're like, you need, you need, you need hot take.

You need your, your, your second best player to be the second best player

if you're going to win the title.

Either that or you need campaign to have a double-double.

You need Jay Crowder to shoot like 70% from three.

Campaign can do that.

Don't tempt him.

I'm not.

You need Aiton to have 30.

Yeah.

I'm just trying to find enough points out here in the box score

to make it work.

It's possible, but it's not likely.

So, like, Chris Paul, I think he'll be okay at home.

Just get him back in the sweat lodge.

He'll be good.

Give him some of that good peyote that they got in the desert.

Yeah.

All right.

Let's get to – we got some other things we got to talk about before we do that.

The, uh, open championship has started. I forgot how fucking early this shit goes on.
I woke up at seven o'clock this morning and Brooks was like, hole 14. It's absurd.
Bryson DeChambeau, though, oh boy, he did it again. So he's having trouble with his driver, and afterwards, he said, they were asking him about, like, can he contend in this tournament? And this is his quote.
He said, if I can hit it down the middle of the fairway, that's great. But with the driver right now, the driver sucks.
It's not a good face for me. And we're still trying to figure out how to make it good on the mishits.
I'm living on the razor's edge. Like I've told people for a long time.
Guess what? Didn't go over so hot with the Cobra guys who are basically working night and day to get the perfect club head for Bryson DeChambeau, who might not be the easiest to work with. So this is coming from the guy who actually caddied for him last two weeks ago when Bryson's caddy quit.
Oh, I forgot that his caddy quit. His caddy quit.
So the guy who works for Cobra caddied for him in Detroit, and he said, it's like an eight-year-old that gets mad at you. They might fly off the handle and say, I hate you, but then you go, whoa, no, you don't.
We know as adults that they really don't mean that, and I know that if I got him cornered right now and said, what the hell did you say that for, he would say that he was mad. He didn't really mean to say that harshlyly he knows how much everyone bends over backwards for him but it's still not cool he also said he has never really been happy ever ever like it's very rare when he's happy now he's in a place where he's swinging a five degree driver with 200 miles per hour of ball speed everyone's looking for a magic bullet well the magic bullet becomes harder and harder to find the faster you swing and the lower that your golf gets.
He also said everyone's bending over backwards for him. Yeah, so multiple guys in R&D.
Basically, Bryson DeChambeau has a server room at Cobra Drivers of guys that are just like manning a wind tunnel for drivers that are specifically made for Bryson DeChambeau. And because is inventing a new type of driver they haven't perfected it yet well in that and on top of that i was reading more about it and they basically said they order they're basically creating like 10 driver heads at a time they order it it's ready to go then immediately right after that they do another 10 and because he swings so fast there are a handful of people in the world who swing as fast as bryson and so they don't have the data to back it up like they're basically all their data testing like like a driver that you would buy at a golf shop has been data tested millions of times bryson's driver has really only been data tested by himself so i really think you just got to fucking chill chill out, Bryson, maybe swing a little bit slower.
Yeah. Or maybe they build like one of those Boston dynamic robots that's capable of swinging as fast as he is.
Give it steroids and turn into a real piece of shit. And then you have that robot be your full-time Bryson and just put them in a wind tunnel, swinging thousands of times a day, get all the data that you need.
And then maybe Bryson will be happy. No, probably not, but he'll be less mad at you if you really bend over backwards for him that far so basically what brian bryson is complaining about is that his mishits suck well welcome to golf bryson that's uh all of us yeah it's uh listen i can't imagine having to work for bryson and having him like be mad because he sucks how many and be like yeah it's their fault the driver sucks how many hours a day do you think Bryson and having him be mad because he sucks and then be like, yeah, it's their fault.
The driver sucks. How many hours a day do you think Bryson spends on hold or on the phone with various customer service representatives? He's just pissed off all the time.
Yeah, probably like eight to nine hours. He's a dog.
Maybe we can have an emotional support dog on the course for Bryson. That actually, I think the PGA should allow that.
Yeah, but would like it to be a dog with like an attitude problem that might bite him occasionally yeah or because they i think bryson needs a friend but a friend that will actually like hurt him occasionally what about uh joe biden's dog yeah major biden yeah he can't live in the white house put major biden out there it'll probably save the the white house cat's life right at some point um so yeah Major Bideniden he i'm sure that major biden is going to kill the white socks or the white house cat oh boy it's probably going to like major biden can't stop biting reporters yeah he's going to see a cat running around be like that's breakfast yikes yeah so maybe he needs uh major biden is an emotional support dog either way like one of lham's dogs that she tried to return. Oh yeah, that's right.
I forgot. I'm sure they're not in great head spaces right now.
That was a good story. The yeah, I'm going to try to wake up early.
I don't know if I can do it. I'm going to try.
I'm probably going to fail, but golf is, I mean, if you think it's a great nap sport in the afternoon, it's even better for turning on and kind of dozing in and out of consciousness before you even have to get up. It actually, it's great for delaying how late you can stay in bed.
Yeah. If you're like, sorry, I'm watching golf right now.
I guess it will change to the weekend. It starts a little bit later.
I just love the Open Championship at England because they essentially are like, how can we make this the most miserable golfing experience possible yeah that's what golf is about over there which which i kind of like i like that better than the american style golf which is let's make these perfectly manicured courses and like uh cater everything to the players this it's just like we're gonna fuck this plot of land up and you're gonna hate it you're gonna You're going to pay us to have a shitty four hours. You're going to hit on a thin level layer of grass that's sitting on a beach into 30 mile an hour winds while it's constantly raining.
And if you miss the fairway, it's going to be 10 feet deep. Yeah, we've got seven holes that still have artillery shells in them from World War II.

Yeah.

And then a couple others that have just been bombed out by hand grenades,

and we haven't bothered to refill those bunkers yet.

Oh, yeah.

If you go into a bunker, the bunker is 10 feet tall.

Yeah.

It's a gateway to hell.

It's fun.

Which I love watching it.

There's nothing that I love more.

Actually, you know what?

This is kind of interesting because talking about the Giannis Block,

we love watching athletes at the peak of their powers absolutely dominating. I also love the open golf when the best golfer in the world hits five shots to get out of the bunker.
When they get ultimately frustrated by the most frustrating game. Yes.
What's that French guy? Oh, Vandervelde. Taking his shoestimer.
All-timer. Alright, so before we get to Kentucky Sports Radio, which is a must-listen every single year, we've got some great callers, especially Joanne, who handed us our asses, like just fucking dunked on us.
There's nothing that she said that was wrong. You want to do a PR 101 for Mike Silver? Well, yeah, I know.
I think it's great. The Washington football team, they are on a never-ending quest to get some good headlines whenever they can and they pulled a masterful stroke which is just hiring mike silver the guy who will say you don't even have to pay mike silver to say nice things about you you just have to go out to steak dinners with him once every like four months like hugh jackson yeah mike silver he's a reporter nfl network formerly he's the hugh jackson guy i I remember when we were at the Super Bowl a few years ago, he and I got into a spirited debate at the bar.
Shout out to Northside Tavern. Northside Tavern? Northside Tavern, best dive bar in America.
That he was claiming that he was not biased about Hugh Jackson. I was saying that he was.
But he's a good guy. He's a nice guy.
We like him. But, yeah, I would imagine that the Washington football team will have Hugh Jackson as a coach soon, and also every player will be from Cal.
Is he the GM they hired him as? No, he's their blog boy. Yeah, he's blogging.
He's blogging for them and doing a podcast for the team. Do we still call him a journalist? I don't know.
He's Baghdad Bob. You remember that guy when we were invading Iraq and he was like everything's fine.
Yeah, we might have to get him on to ask him. Content contributors is the official title.
Content contributor. I do like Mike.
We give him a hard time, but we will have to get him on to ask him what the deal is. Is he technically no longer a journalist? Is he dare I say it? Should I say the S word? Is he what? Schill? No, no.
he's not. He's a flack.
Major difference. Here's the, I just want to read.
Is he a lackey? Yeah, he's a lackey. I want to read the first paragraph of his introductory blog on the Washington football team website.
And really, this is just perfect. The first time I experienced the power of Ron Rivera, I was a UC Berkeley freshman lying flat on my back in a musty dorm lounge trying to contemplate the nonsensical cruelty of our universe.
Oh, that's awesome. That is fucking awesome.
I'm so glad to have this guy blogging that team. Oh, that's going to be incredible.
By the way, I got breaking moves. Mike Gundy's shaved his mullet.
Oh, yeah. It's so sad.
Big 12 media day was something else. It's so sad.
How can you do that? I think it regenerates super fast, though, like a lizard's tail. He looks lost.
He looks like he's got pain in his eyes from it. Do you think that's a name image likeness type thing? I don't know.
Because you can definitely say... Dana better not.
I'll say that. What? Dana.
Oh, no, he won't. Coach Dana.
He won't. He's all about that.
They're talking about the beer guy. Oh, God, no.
The scumbag guy. He's not back.
He's going to be back, though. If you're Mike Gundy...
I believe. I think it's a smart move in the NIL...
What do we call it? in this new name image likeness era of college sports, to shave. You can't stand out more than your players.
You can market to your players like, hey, you'll get so much money if you come to school here. People who are boosters will pay you a ton.
If you have more swag than your players, then they might be like, listen, I'm not even the biggest fish on campus. I can't deal with that.
Yes. And also and also horns down is now uh being cracked down on even more which is the softest move of all time the softest move of all time well they're saying that you can't do it to a texas player you can do it to the crowd that is and you know it came from texas being like please stop doing horns down that texas shouldn't be able to do horns up you can't do horns down.
I agree. It works both ways.
Fair play. That's fucking bullshit.
How could you, Texas? You know what? The fans of Texas I know they don't like this. I know it's just probably some boosters who are all up in their fields.
The fans of Texas need to band together and start like a change.org saying it's okay to do horns down. I think that the guys who are sports radio callers that are Texas fans hate it.
They get pissed off. They're like, it's the stay classy fans.
Those are the ones that absolutely hate being horns down. But I'd say 95%, the silent majority of Texas fans understand like, okay, maybe we should just win football games.
And then they can't can't do horn sound to us. Right.
Because you're going to look like a damn fool if we're beating you 50 to 3 and you just point your pinky and your index finger down to the ground. I need horns down.
Fuck it. I need horns down.
Alright, let's get to Kentucky Sports Radio. Some great clips.

Coors Brewing Company, Golden, Colorado. And now, Kentucky Sports Radio.
We are part of my take. We appreciate everyone listening.
Every year we do this. I know there's some people who don't like us.
That's fine. But I think a lot of people do like us.
I'm actually not okay with the people that don't like us. If you don't like us, I want you to call into them.
No, they reply on the tweet. They say pass or not going to listen.
I actually have a log that I keep updated, so I appreciate everyone kind of – it's almost an attendance thing where – let me just see. You have to opt out.
Yeah, let's see. Oh, Ed Rutherford.
Ed Rutherford 4. Too bad you're not listening because we just shouted you out.
He responded pass. That's too bad.
So if you follow Kentucky Sports Radio on Twitter, on Instagram, that sort of thing, and you don't reply that you're not listening, you're being included in the Nielsen rating. We're going to assume.
If you're not listening right now, tell us that you're not listening. Billy Jenkins, the dip spitting king.
Wow. How did he get that Twitter handle?

That's incredible.

You know what's crazy is I guarantee you anyone who calls himself the dip spitting king would absolutely love it. He said OGs.

OGs.

Hopefully he's listening.

I think the dip spitting king is listening.

If we get the dip spitting king to call in, I will put an entire tin of skull in my mouth and challenge him for the title of the dip spitting king matt jones is on vacation in turks and caicos is that where he's at uh well actually i got a little uh a birdie told me that matt jones whenever he goes on vacation is very secretive of his location so we're gonna just drop different places he may be coming back from each gotcha matt jones is spending the week in boston

he's taking it easy he's in louisville matt jones is on vacation in malibu for the next two weeks i actually heard that he's in nashville right now co-hosting the clay travis rush limbaugh oh okay so uh you know dealer's choice on that one we'll see we'll see how those rumors shake out matt jones is in delray beach florida for the next two weeks matt jones is on vacation in queens uh i think he actually said he's doing the five boroughs for his entire he's figuring out which one he wants to live in most well what's interesting because that matt jones actually lives in new york city it's a dirty secret in kentucky does his show from new york city every single day claiming that he's in Kentucky. City slick.
When are we coming back on the air, by the way? We're back on the air. Welcome back to part of my takeover Kentucky Sports Radio.
Matt Jones is out of town. He's vacationing.
Actually, in Kentucky. He's staying there.
He loves the dang place so much. We're very happy to be taking over.
Phone lines are full right now. They are.
Let's do it, Shannon. Let's go to the next one All right, we got Buck Stivers on.
He's going to co-host tomorrow on KSR with Richie Farmer. So, Buck, what's up? Oh, Buck, what's going on? Well, it's just started pouring the rain here in Clay County.
I was hoping maybe a dollar store truck could get the wrong GPS and go up the holler and have some action today what now i can you can you now break that sentence down for us what what did that mean well the gps usually uh turns the dollar store trucks up the holler here in front of the house and they can't get out the other end so it you know ends up an adventurous day so you're looking forward to having a driver of a dollar store truck get stuck in the mud outside your house so you can watch him try to get out of the mud oh no there's no mud it's blacktop it's just like the hill on the other end and they can't make the turn up the hill so they have to get one of those big trucks to come and lift them up and it blocks the traffic for a few hours it's usually a you know big thing here in clay county wait so it's clay county and there's no mud well there's mud in places but now we do have a you know a lot of blacktop roads yeah yeah that's i mean yeah yeah the new pavement is nothing better rollerblading on it. Buck, I got a question for you.
Have you always been a Buck? Or were you, is your given name something else, then you became a Buck? Because I think Buck is one of the coolest names to have. Can you tell me about that transformation when you knew you were a Buck? Well, actually, my friends kind of gave me that name.
You know, my birth name was William, but the Buck came later in high school. What did you do to earn the name Buck? Because it's got to be something cool.
I used to do imitation of Eddie Murphy when he did Buckweed on Saturday Night Live. I'm thinking that we might not want to have you do the imitation.

No, we don't need that.

That was in the 80s.

That was in the 80s.

Is there somebody else in your friend group that's also named Buck?

There's several books in Clay County.

Yeah.

How do you know, like, who is the alpha Buck?

Well, I mean, they just all assume it's me.

Right.

Well, you're the one coasting tomorrow right yeah right yeah what uh what hunting season is right now in kentucky buck i don't think there's much of anything right now um you know um it won't be long ago that it'll be back turkey season and deer season will be here before you know it. Yep.
Let's be honest, though. If you go out and you see a real nice fat turkey tomorrow and you see it outside your house and you don't have any meat in your fridge, are you shooting that thing, Buck? Well, I mean, I've got meat in the fridge.
But, yeah, I mean, you know, I don't think I would violate, you know, the butterball makes a good bird butterball does make a good bird buck i i i do that's a fact i might listen in tomorrow to hear you host are you gonna do you have a name for it like we call pardon my takeover are you gonna call it keeping it a buck oh i don't know what we'll do though this is actually the second time i've ever even talked on the radio. What? I think, you know, yeah, I don't think Matt there, I think he may have been real deep in whatever it is, you know.
South of France. And he don't have a home in Clay County.
No, he doesn't. Well, he's got a condo.
You're right. He's got a condo in Clay County.
He owns most of the apartments there, and then he leases them out andases them out and jacks the rent up on yes then he uses that money to fund his trips to the mediterranean um but absolutely without incriminating yourself uh we we had a challenge today free papa diaz if uh anyone wants to call in and admit to a crime anything you want to tell us oh well i just you know i don't think i've got any crimes that's worth that you know i think that you know i'm not sure the statute of limitations have run out on them well let's talk about a hypothetical like a guy named chuck that you know yeah wow the worst he's probably ever done you know is maybe smoke a little weed oh that's not chuck sounds like a cool guy hang out with chuck yeah when you're smoking well excuse me when chuck is a little weed. Oh, Chuck sounds like a cool guy.

Yeah, I'd hang out with Chuck.

Yeah.

When Chuck is smoking that weed,

you ever get behind the wheel of a car?

Oh, absolutely not.

There we go.

So Chuck's still...

I've got better...

You know, Chuck's got better weed than that.

Chuck's weed's got him on the moon.

He's not getting behind the car.

He's getting in his spaceship.

Yeah, I told you I was sitting here waiting on a dollar store truck to go up the holler.

So, hey, answer me this, Buck.

When a dollar store truck goes up the holler and gets stuck on the road, can't get over that hill there,

do you sit out on the porch or do you go out and you offer him a hand?

Oh, I try to.

Actually, if I see him, I stop him, and we try to get him turned around here.

Right.

Before he goes up the holler.

That don't always happen.

Right.

Can you go down a holler, or do you just go up a holler?

You can go either way here.

Yeah.

I like that very progressive.

What's the defining feature of a holler?

Well, I don't know what you would call the defining feature.

It's the bottom of everything.

Right.

The bottom of everything is a holler.

What's the difference between a holler and a gully?

A holler and a gully.

That's a tough one.

You know, I think you get more hung up in a gully than you would a holler. You get hung up.
Yeah. What about a holler in a ditch? Oh, yeah.
A ditch. Now, if you're going to ditch here, you're going to be there for a few minutes.
Is there ditches in the holler? Oh, yeah. Oh, no.
Yeah. Yeah.
They have to have ditches in the holler. Yeah.
That has to be the lowest point, though, right? You said a holler's the lowest point, the bottom of everything. Wouldn't a ditch in a holler be the bottom of everything? Well, I guess if you're going to be technical, you know, I mean, if you're going to be scientific about it, maybe.
We are. Yeah, I guess that.
I think that the holler, if there's a ditch in a holler, that's still the holler, though. The ditch is included because the holler is the bigger.

The holler is a giant ditch.

Got it.

And so every ditch included in the holler is also part of the holler.

The holler contains multiple ditches.

Multitudes, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

All right.

Well, I think we've also got a big shootout going on this weekend in Clay County.

A shootout?

A big shootout. Yeah, the black gold shootout.
shootout going on this weekend in Clay County. A shootout? A big shootout.

Yeah, the black gold shootout.

What's going on there?

They have about 250 of the United States.

Those people come from all over.

They dress up like cowboys, and they carry a pistol on each hip.

They've got a baby carriage modified to carry rifles and shotguns and ammo, and they shoot up hell all weekend. They shoot up hell.
They don't shoot each other, I hope. They have contests.
They have a town set up where they can go, and they have targets and shoot the bad guy, and I guess things things of that nature it's like training in war zone where they they put you through one of those obstacle courses and they just have they have you shoot the like bandit that pops up and then it makes a little ping when you hit it absolutely yeah i like the way it's all go ahead sorry buck well well it set up in period time. You know, like you have to be in your cowboy gear, you know, like you have to be with a six-shooter.
I mean, you know, there ain't no Glocks up there. Yeah.
I like the way you say rifle. It sounds like – I thought there was maybe a raffle going on.
Oh, they'll probably have a raffle for a raffle up there. That's got to be confusing.
Yeah. Perfect.
Yeah, they'll probably raffle off a raffle if I'm not, you know. What kind of food do they serve in this? Is this like a smoked turkey leg situation? Or do they have chili or what? They have a little bit of everything, I'm guessing, but, you know, I mean, mostly they, you know, take it from the jar.
Yeah. Wait, what does that mean? Yeah.
Well, I mean, you know, around here, you know, everybody, you know, like, you know, you got to have that sensational, you know, thirst quencher that comes in a mason jar. Got it a lot of corn.
They get a lot of corn in their system up there. I thought you were talking about food but yeah they skip food they just take everything from the jar.
Yeah. I love that.
So I have one last question. I was going to say can I go to the shootout even if I don't have a gun? Or is it just for gun enthusiasts? Absolutely, yes.
Anybody can come. I love it.
I love it. Buck, you are our caller of the day right now.
We appreciate you calling in. Can you leave us, though, with one thing? Can you tell us what the state of Kentucky basketball is at right now? Like, where are you a fan? As a fan, I feel like we're just about ready to shoot to the top.
Oh, just about ready. Does that mean this year? Does that mean after Coach Kyle retires? We're loading up right now.
Love it. Loading up, ready to go back to the top.
Absolutely. All right, well, Buck, thank you for calling in.
Everyone listening tomorrow, Buck is co-hosting tomorrow's Kentucky Sports Radio. We appreciate it, Buck.
Good luck tomorrow, and have fun at the shootout this weekend. Thank you, guys.
Y'all have a good chat. All right.
Thanks so much, Chuck. All right.
It was Buck. Chuck was the – Yeah, he's Chuck after 420.
When he gets stoned. Yeah.
Yeah, got it. The other thing we have, we're going to do calls in a minute.
We have Billy Football here. He's going to do the oral history of the state of Kentucky.
Who's Billy Football? Billy Football is our intern, now full-time member of the show. He's a former college athlete, not a big deal.
Was recruited by Kentucky, lightly by Mark Stoops. Lightly.
You could lightly be recruited by anyone. Actually, you met Mark Stoops in the band.
So, yeah, you were lightly recruited by Mark Stoops. Billy had an informal visit with Mark Stoops.
Billy was blackout drunk when Mark Stoops had a visit with him. Billy was 18 years old and drunk in a parking lot in Youngstown, Ohio when we were interviewing Mark Stoops in the back of our van.
He left an impression. I don't know if it was a good impression, but you can count that as a visit for recruiting.
Can I back you up real quick? Just the phrase, our 18-year-old intern was blackout drunk in the back of a van when we met Mark Stoops. We did not tell Billy not to drink.
He disobeyed our direct orders and that's why he probably never got that full-time offer. But he did speak to Mark Stoops.
We were in a bar and we told Billy, you can't be in the bar to be safe. Go wait in the parking lot.
And then we came out and he was like funneling beers with like stoolies. He's like, yeah, he's like a bunch of guys came to the van.
They're like, Billy, you won't drink these beers. And then I had no choice, but I had to drink.
You don't understand, Big Cat. He got iced in that parking lot and Billy had to take a knee.
And Billy was so drunk that we left. We left Youngstown.
I wasn't drinking. I was driving.
so I we were driving on the highway in Pennsylvania

and our the tires on our

1993

van blew out going

70 miles an hour on the highway

we pulled over we got

out we looked at the tires Billy woke up

in the backseat he's like oh are we here

and so that was

a good time it was honestly about 20

minutes on the road and we had it was such

like a bumpy exit from the highway

when our tire blew out

Thank you. and so that was a good time.
It was honestly about 20 minutes on the road, and it was such a bumpy exit from the highway when our tire blew out. Billy, for some reason, thought that we were in a parking lot of a best Western hotel, when in reality we were getting buzzed by semi-trailers.
Yes. All right, Billy, you ready to go? Let's start the oral history of the state of Kentucky.
This is by Billy Football, once recruited loosely by Mark Stoops. So there is his Kentucky.
He's basically a prodigal son of the state of Kentucky. He was a two-star recruit, actually, one for every BAC that he had.
Well, Kentucky, fun fact, isn't actually a state like Massachusetts and other colonial Virginia. Virginia.
It is a Commonwealth. So communist Kentucky was once part of Virginia, but because they were so far from Richmond and no Kentuckians wanted to travel to the Capitol, they decided to make their own state.
I actually think it was relatable. It was a part of West Virginia.
It was a West, West Virginia. Wait.
So they basically were like, the traffic is too bad. We don't really want to do this commute.
Exactly. That's I love.
I love the basis of what Kentucky was built on, essentially saying I don't want to sit in my car or horse drawn carriage for more than a half hour. Yeah, my podcast.
Don't go that Joe Rogan only has three hours of podcasts to listen to while I'm riding my horse to Richmond. Let's just make our own state.
I think Big Cat, it could have been easily solved maybe if Kentucky had faster horses. Yeah.
They probably wouldn't have had to secede. Unfortunately, the horse capital of the world is in Brooklyn, New York.
Yep. It's the horse capital, the bourbon capital, the barbecue capital, and the grass capital.
Yes. Lexington was at one time considered the Athens of the West.
Well, one time, I still do. Have you ever been to Lexington? It is actually a gorgeous, gorgeous city.
Keeneland is, this is where I always find common grounds with our listeners. Keeneland is my favorite racetrack to go to.
It is fantastic. I did the bourbon tour of the Buffalo Trace Distillery one time just outside of Lexington.
Wonderful place. I tried to steal Pappy Van Winkle.
I'm not any longer welcome back in the city of Lexington or the surrounding areas, but I still love it. Yeah, it's fantastic.
So put some respect on it. It still is considered the Athens of the West, in my mind.
Daniel Boone was on the forefront of paving the way for Kentucky's statehood. Wait, is that the guy with the raccoon hat? Yeah, he killed a bear when he was three.
No, it's David Crockett. You also started this by saying Kentucky's not a state.
Well, he failed, clearly. Daniel Boone was the guy that invented that knife.
Yes, yes. Is this Daniel Boone Pickens, the Oklahoma State booster? D.
Boone Pickens. Kentucky bluegrass is actually from Spain.
What? Very cosmopolitan. So it's the Athens of the United States.
Its most famous import is from Spain. It is maybe the most cosmopolitan state in the United States.
Keep going. We've got a minute left, and we've got to take a break.
Kentucky's state beverage is milk. Oh.
Milk. Really? It's milk.
Really? For how much bourbon they store, largest in the world, and mint juleps they serve at the Kentucky Derby, Kentucky State beverage is milk. I actually think that's not a bad call.
If you had to do, like, one beverage for the rest of your life, I'd probably go water one. But milk's not so bad.
A lot of things you use for milk. I think if you have to drink one beverage your entire life from cradle to grave, it really only has to be milk, right? Milk.
Also, I want to shout out Humongous. Said, I've lived in Kentucky my whole life.
And milk? Did Billy get his research from babies? That's actually a great burn. Did you get your research from babies? Did you talk to 10 different babies and ask them what their favorite? 9 out of 10 babies recommend milk.
Milk. That's actually fantastic.
We're going to get back to Kentucky Sports Radio and the callers in a second. But before we do, shout out to one of our favorite new sponsors here, J.B.

Now we're Kentucky Sports Radio. All right, we got another one, Shannon? Yes, let's go to Pikey.
Pikey. What's up, Pikey? Hey, Pikey.
Yeah, that is my real name, Pikey. You've been talking a lot about college basketball coaches.
Shannon's actually a big endorser of our car dealership. Conway Heaton, 810 North 3rd Street, Barshtown, Kentucky.
What was that? Who do you think would be... Wait, say that again.
That was an incredible, incredible plug. Conway Heaton, Ford, Barshtown, Kentucky, 810 North 3rd Street.
No, but can you say it fast like you did the first time, like it's at the end of a car commercial? Only once a day. I get a little tired.
But so who do you think would be the best used car salesman of a college basketball coach? But there's one caveat. They have to wear Big Ben's walking boot.
Ooh. I think, I mean, the easy answer is going to be Sean Miller on this one just because you can see him patrolling the lot out there, sweating through his suit.
That's a man that was born to be in a used car commercial. I'll go with Frank Martin.
I think, Frank Martin, you walk in and he's selling you something. And if he's not selling you something, you're so intimidated by him that you will buy something just because you want to end the whole transaction on a good note.
Well, I went to University of Tennessee, and if you're going to talk about somebody sweating through their suit, how are you leaving Bruce Pearl out of the conversation? Oh, Bruce Pearl? I feel like Bruce Pearl would be tough because he'd get in the car on the test drive with him, and he would have to get into a truck with him because a normal car would not fit his giant body. Yeah, and then he's like, hey, look, this glove compartment is where you can listen to other people's conversations and rap them out.
So you're a Tennessee grad? So Rick Barnes would what he'd sell you? No, I didn't actually graduate, but I went there. All right, well, I appreciate that, the honesty.
You didn't have to do that. I mean, he's a used car salesman, yeah.
Rick Barnes would what he'd sell. No, no, I didn't actually, I didn't graduate.
All right. Well, I appreciate that.
The honesty, you didn't have to do that. Yeah.
Rick Barnes would, would that be like you buy the car and then when the minute that you needed to actually perform, it just breaks down. Yeah.
Yeah. His, his definitely won't make it a hundred thousand miles, but our baseball coach at Tennessee, I think he would, he would be a Mustang guy.
He's going 100 miles an hour and we just signed him so i like that what about a used car dealer in barstow kentucky that's tennessee fan how smart is that oh yeah not bad yeah what do you do you know what do you just let them like i would imagine it's like a clown in a dunk tank you just kind of you throw a couple jabs at them and then they eventually just get to dunk you is Is that how it goes, your interactions? It's actually, that's almost exactly right, except for I ride around in my orange golf cart and let them throw water balloons at me. That's actually perfect, because I'm sure every other person up there is a big Kentucky guy.
They wear their Kentucky Phantom on their sleeve. At least you stand out a little bit, even if you're the guy that they love to boo, you know? That's exactly right.
And all these Kentucky guys, you know, they're just aging out. What's the last time they went to a Final Four? Oh, now that's some mean talk.
Listen, we've got to look it up and see. I don't have the stat in front of me right now.
I think it was 2015? That long ago? Yeah. That can't be right.
Billy, can you double check that? They went to the Final Four that year. That can't be right.
Kentucky's a great program. I'm sure they've been in the last couple years at least.
Have we talked about Cal on the hot seat yet? Because I think he's about to vote. Yeah, well, I think he's just going to retire.
I think this is the twilight of his career. He's just enjoying himself right now.
He wants to be able to go out and watch his kids play in the NBA someday. We'll know if Cal still has it if they get Kofi Coburn on this Kentucky team.
That will be the test. Any chance Brad Calipari's named Coach and Waiting in the next few years? I would hope so.

I would hope so.

I think that Coach Cal should actually just name his son Coach and Waiting

and then dare them to not hire him after he retires.

Like change his name legally to Coach and Waiting?

Well, he should change his name to Coach Cal.

Yeah, Coach Cal.

All right, well, thank you.

Yeah, what did you say?

All right, I know y'all need to go,

but I think he should get a tattoo given, not earned.

Yes, yes. Or just put a question mark at the end of his earned, not given tattoo.
Yes. Pikey, thank you.
We're going to give you just a free Papadia. So go to your local Papa John's and whisper in their ear, free Papadia Kentucky Sports Radio, and they'll give it to you.
He's gone. Oh, he's gone.
You might have missed that on that. Someone else can use that.
Someone else whisper into someone's ear that. All right, next call, Shannon.
Let's go to Mark. Mark, what's up? Hey, gentlemen.
How y'all doing? Great, Mark. How are you? I'm so good.
And now, boys, I'm a Lexington resident, and I wanted to know what you thought about the Kentucky Stags Handball Club this season. Wanted to see how they'll do in the Midwest Team Handball League.
I'm a big fan. One of my boys is on the team.
I think that's not real. No, it is.
The Kentucky Stags, I was actually watching a couple of their games yesterday. It's a put-up-or-shut-up season for sure.
You guys have all the talent accumulated. It's a matter of putting it together to get on the same page.
Frankly, your captain has not been really showing too many signs of leadership, and I question his ability to get over that hump. But you know what? You guys have to prove it to me now.
I'm sick of all the hype year after year for the Kentucky Stag. Do you watch these games? Do you go to these games? It looks like it's just – I mean, it's essentially just like intramural dodgeball is what I'm looking at.
I'm looking at the website right now. I mean, I watch all the games because my boy's on the team, but I think there's about seven or eight spectators usually.
It seems like, and I might be way off, but it seems like you could be on the team too if you just signed up and paid for a jersey. Yeah, where do you watch them, or do you have to be in person? You've got to go to the park down there.
Usually they're not streaming. I mean, ifable, we'll tweet them at you.
We get three or four viewers to stream. Oh, nice.
But you could be on the team, could you not? Oh, no. I tore my ACL in college.
It ain't going nowhere. I'm pretty sure you could probably still play recreational handball in a Kentucky league, even though you tore your ACL 15 years ago.
I wouldn't call it recreational. They're at the top level of American handball.
They're right up there with the big boys in Columbus. Wait, wait, this torn ACL, did you get it fixed? I mean, I got it fixed, but it was never the same.
I got it playing handball, actually, too, so I passed it down to my boys because they can follow the legacy that I couldn't. Yeah, but I mean, then the knock against you is, you know, we've said it a hundred times about you, you're just too injury prone to be great.
Yeah. I question your will if you can't overcome a little thing like a torn ACL.
I mean, you know what they say, there's a will, there's a way. And if there's a way, there's a way to get to the Olympics.
But for me, June was just cut short, teeny bit, teeny bit. All right.
I just think that if you're going to put it together, your goalie Jacob Roberts has to step it up this year and really solidify himself as number one. Because, like, right now people are asking, is he really the guy? I'm just confused that – thanks for the call.
I'm confused. Like, that would be me, like, saying, like, hey, my boy – I go out and check out my boy.
He plays, you know, intramural softball on Tuesday nights. Like, I'm going to go watch him play.'m going to go watch him play.
I think you just have to show up and you're on this team. Big Cat, the Kentucky Stags, they're coaches from Spain.
They take this stuff seriously. My favorite part, I think, about the Kentucky Stags is the team badge because it's got the handball.
It's got a deer on there. It says Kentucky Stags, and then it says their founding year.
Do you know when they were founded, Big Cat? 2019. 2020.
They were founded last year. So it was off by a year.
Shout out to Dip Spittin' King. He actually tweeted at me.
He said, thanks for the shout out. I look forward to hearing it when I get off work.
So Dip Spittin' King, you're a legend. I don't know how you got that.
I do not know how you got that handle. But man, you're a legend.
So wait, Dip Spittin' King never listens to the show live because he's working. Yeah, remember, he didn't bash us.
He just said, oh, geez. Oh, yeah.
So that could be a good or bad, oh, geez. We have no idea.
I have so many questions for the Dip Spittin' King. What brand do you dip? How did you get your title? Have you ever dipped too much? Is your son the prince? Yeah.
There's a lot of things. All right.
Speaking of the law, we have our guy, TJ Smith. Call TJ.
He'll make him pay. Kentucky Sports Radio is brought to you by TJ Smith Law Office.
TJ, it's great to talk to you. We haven't talked in a year.
How is the legal business going right now? Well, the legal business has been slow as far as court hearings because of covid but we're back with a vengeance i'm just now tuning in because i've been on a zoom deposition all morning but i heard you guys were on and i wanted to check in with you i love it tj let me ask you about the about the last year so with people getting out less frequently, has that impacted your business? Are people getting injured at a lower frequency than they had in the past? They aren't, but I've seen incidences of more serious injuries, if you will. Listen, I want to talk to you guys about something.
As Matt's personal representative and his make-em-pay attorney, we were talking about fraud. Yep.
Don't be throwing out any slander on my boy, okay? Well, is it slander or libel? Do you even know the difference? Well, he's a public figure, so it's probably libel. Yeah, well, he's a public figure.
I think you also have to prove that we have intent and that we know for a fact that Matt Jones doesn't commit voter fraud on a massive scale every year. And frankly, I don't know whether he does or doesn't.
So it looks like we've got an ironclad case on our side here, TJ. It's kind of like those deposition videos that I saw of you guys smacking down those lawyers that had filed frivolous litigation against you.
Yeah, doesn't parody law cover literally everything? Like, we could go and commit any crime we want and just say it was a joke. Well, I think that's pushing it a little bit.
But just so you don't commit any torts and hurt anybody so that you get me involved and then we make them pay. Yeah, don't.
I think you guys need me on retainer on a regular basis for a... I'm down for that.
How many Papadias would it cost to get you on retainer? Papadias? Yeah. Well, I'd have to charge you then if you're going to get me Papadias, but I'll take a dollar and I'll stay on retainer for you.
There you go. I think you're our lawyer now.
Yes. Our second lawyer.
We also have Mr. Portnoy.
You guys will have to work in concert with one another. But how does that work if we're public figures and we're slandering another public figure? I feel like that's double jeopardy and nobody gets charged.
Well, I don't think people care about any public figures anymore, frankly. That's true.
Except for Chrissy Teigen. we hope that she...
I don't think juries are going to be very... I don't think juries are very friendly toward public figures at this point with the climate of the country as it stands right now.
That's true. I just do want to say, though, for Chrissy Teigen, I hope that she's able to battle back bravely from threatening to kill other people on Twitter.
Yes, yes. TJ, question for you.
Has anyone ever asked you to represent them in emotional distress because Kentucky landed like four or five stars instead of five? They have not, but I do feel like folks are ready to jump off the bridge when some kid hits the transport portal. Yes, so can we set that precedent that, hey, maybe if Kentucky doesn't have a good season this year, we're going to see a lot of fans start suing the university and Coach Cal for emotional distress because that would be two straight years of poor play.
No, they'll just be calling in saying, Matt, I don't know what John Calipari's doing to

this team, and we need to

get a change and have some four-year

players.

Well, what about this? Can a coach

like Coach Cal or Coach K

sue players that enter into

the transfer portal for inflicting emotional

distress on them?

Well, of course not.

That's why the NCAA is such an ironclad

institution of learning academics and furthering students that student athletes set the rules and we'll just follow the rules and play by their rules I love it TJ that's why you're the best because you you get it you get it and uh so TJ we wish you all the best we're going to send you that dollar in the mail. You will be on retainer.
You're making them pay. Has there ever been someone like, hey, I don't want to pay, and you just point to the sign and you're like, hey, listen, I'm TJ.
You make them pay. Then you usually show them the courthouse door and you set them in a little chair by the judge in front of some folks and let those folks decide whether they're going to pay.
And only once in the last 18 years is somebody not paid. Wait, that's your record? What's your official record? I have one loss in the last 18 years.
You're like Lenny Dykstra. That's incredible.
That's insane. Well, I mean, you don't try every case and some of them, they go south on you.
But if I go to the jury, you know, I plan to have the facts to win. What was your one loss? Well, it was a case where I was trying to change the world, frankly.
If you remember when Pintos were blowing up and killing people, this was about a school bus design and a defective design. And so I tried a case for 18 days.
I lost, but the Court of Appeals agreed with me, and they've sent it back for a new trial, and so the other side's still trying to get out of it by taking the case to the Supreme Court, where I'm completely confident that we'll prevail. Wait, TJ, I am trying to make the truth.
Yeah, how did you lose a case against school buses that blew up and killed children? Well, it didn't blow up. Their roof crushed when it turned over.
And I had an engineer that said that it would be easy to feasibly design a better roof system to protect kids. And in this case, the jury disagreed.
Now, I want to tell you guys,

this bus design hadn't been changed since 1959 as far as we can tell through our deposition process

but the jury still didn't care

because we didn't get a fair shot from the judge in the case.

That's incredible that you're one loss.

You can confidently say I'm trying to change the world

and if we go to the Supreme Court.

So you might be in the Supreme Court at some point, just saving kids' lives. Yes.
It would be my third trip. Wow.
Incredible. TJ is for the children.
I love it. You know what? I think not only will we endorse you as our lawyer, I want to endorse your position in this lawsuit, too.
So if you could tack on TJ slash part of my take v. the United States or whatever that's going to be.
I just want to be in a textbook one day where people have to look back on my name and learn about me for a freshman year class. There you go, guys.
Hey, it's always a pleasure to listen to you. We love having you on, and we appreciate you calling in, and good luck.
Save those kids. TJ, we appreciate it, so go check out TJ Smith Law Office.
Call TJ. He'll make them pay.
We'll talk to you later, TJ. Thank you so much.
Thanks, guys. That is an incredible thing to be able to say.
I've lost one case. The one case was actually trying to save the world.

Next call, Shannon.

Let's go to Joanne.

Joanne.

Joanne.

I don't know who you all are, don't know where you come from,

but I hope I never hear from you again.

Wait, Joanne, why? You are the first two that's ever been on KSR.

All you have done is put Kentucky down.

No, no, no.

That's not true, Joanne.

Go back where you come from.

No, Joanne.

Joanne, I...

Hold on.

Oh, no. It's not true, Joanne.
Go back where you come from. No, Joanne.
Joanne, I was born in Kentucky, Joanne. You want me to come closer to you? Hold on, Joanne.
Well, why are you putting us down so? Joanne, did you not? We can't make peanut butter. We can't do anything.
Joanne, did you not hear me say? Put the basketball team down. That's the worst thing in the world you could do.
No, we said Rick Pitino's a great coach. All right, Joanne.
To have with Rick Pitino. Yeah, I agree with you there.
Did you not hear me say that I love Keeneland? I don't care who you love in Kentucky. You have put the University of Kentucky down.
You have put the basketball program down and everything else in Kentucky. So, you know, go back where you come from.
University of Kentucky is a great basketball school until 2015. Joanne, are you still there? She just dropped the mic.
I like that. Joanne's got some spice to her.
Man, that was good, Joanne. She came off the bat hot, too.
We're going to finish with some phone calls. If I sense, Shannon, that they're fake or we want to skip,

I'll just say skip to the next one.

Fair enough.

That works for me.

Okay.

Let's go to Ed.

Ed, what's up?

Hey, guys.

This is Ed Jenkins.

I appreciate the shout-out to my brother, Billy Jenkins,

the dip-spitting king.

This is his twin brother calling in.

All right. How much dip does your twin brother dip? All of the dip.
All right. Skip.
Skip to the next one. That was a nice try.
All right. Andy.
Andy? Yeah. Andy.
Hey, boys. How are you? Good.
Good, good. Quick question.
Long-time listener, a part of my page.

I love what you guys do.

Are we skipping?

Is that an official skip?

Yeah, let's skip.

Let's skip.

We say skip.

I like the honesty.

I love the honesty from Andy, and I appreciate him listening,

but that's not what we're doing this show for.

We want to talk to more Joanns and Bucks.

All right, let's try Casey.

Casey, Casey.

Hey, good morning. How are you guys today? Good.
How are you? I'm all right. To be honest, I honestly don't.
I've never watched her show. Is it on ESPN? Yep.
Yeah. Yeah.
Casey. Skip.
Okay. Well, I'm calling.
Kathy. Kathy.
Hi. How are are y'all i'm a long-time listener of ksr and i have to take up for joanne because the first time i listened to y'all while matt was gone i hated at you.
Okay. I am a Kentucky fan.
I actually cheered back in the 70s. And I thought, who are these people bad-mouthing my cats? But then I listened to your show because I thought, how come they hate us this much? And I kind of figured you out.
And now I make a point to listen to you every year love it i love and listen we we have no ill will towards joanne we love joanne we we just want to make it right we want joanne to turn into a story like you she just hung up on you oh no but that was like that Rocky, like, if I can change, you can change speech right there because I think what she realized is we make fun of everyone, including ourselves, the most, so it's nothing ever personal unless it's about Duke. I do truly hate Duke and the Green Bay Packers, but everything else is just having some fun.
We will grow on you like a fungus. Yeah.
Much like a fungus. Yeah.

Shout out this guy Joel Beal who just summed up everything perfectly. He's a senior writer at Golf Digest.
He said, For those scoring at home, Bryson's driver sucks. He needed more from his caddy.
His 44 at the U.S. Open was nothing but bad bad breaks he lives rent free in brooks head but wants no part of the feud rules marshals have it out for him the usga has it out for him and he's not a slow player well that sums it up and also insects can't stand him yeah that's he's mad at he's mad at bugs oh man all right hank where do i begin oh where do you begin? Uh-oh.
Are you down bad? I'm moving this week. So that's like one of those just coming off a 10-day bender vacation and then immediately having to move has been tough.
I'm fat again. Yeah, so Hank.
I lost to Jake Marsh today. Oh, okay.
Should we stay on that for a second? No, no, no. That was just a side note.
Well, Hank, he's getting a six-pack. And I think it was Tuesday morning.
He walked in and he was standing next to me. And he was just eating a casual Tuesday morning donut.
What type? Old-fashioned? No sugar? I was like, Hank, what's going on with the six-pack? And then he started Googling itling it in all years he goes 31 months is what it says it takes to get a six-pack well listen I have no food like you know you know the process of moving it's not like no it's the worst it's impossible to be going to the gym and also trying to pack yourself stuff up I have nothing in the fridge so I was getting a coffee I needed something in my stomach so I grabbed the donut and then I walked in and Big Cat was like in my face with the camera well you said you we had a bet I was getting a coffee. I needed something in my stomach, so I grabbed the donut, and then I walked in, and Big Cat was in my face with the camera.
Well, you said we had a bet. I do have a bet.
And then in my head, I'm like, I'm skinny. It'll only take me a few weeks to shed some pounds and get a six-pack, do a couple crunches.
And I looked up Google to try and defend my argument. Because Grit Week, I don't know if we've announced when Grit Week is.
It's coming. My plan was to have a six-pack by Grit Week.
And then I Googled it, and I was like, can you get a six-pack in X amount of weeks? You are Big Ben. You're Big Ben right now.
And yeah, it's not looking good. I realized that we totally blew it, calling it the BB7 method.
I was on Pittsburgh Radio today. I was like, it should be called the Big Ben quarterback, the BBQ method.
Yeah. Yes.
Yes. Really blew that one.
But Hank, I think you can still

do it because you're right. You're skinny.

You're a skinny boy for the most part. You're small.

You just have like a little layer.

I also think it's your posture

sometimes. Sometimes your posture

just makes it bubble out a little bit.

Let's see it. Let's see the belly.
Come on, show off.

No, take your

shirt off. You're doing the posture thing.

Take your shirt off. Yeah, you're right around the corner.
You're skinny. You got this.
You got this, off. You're doing the posture thing.
Take your shirt off.

Yeah, you're right around the corner.

You're skinny.

You got this.

You got this, Hank.

You got this.

Pleasantly plump.

Well, you said something funny there.

Jake beat you again?

Yeah.

Just once, though, right?

Well, yeah.

In the series, yeah.

He's only in one series.

I mean, good news is he didn't embarrass you this time, right?

No. I mean, yeah, he was coming off a tough week.
There wasn't. We'll get to that.
It wasn't a sweep, right? We'll get to that. Technically, it was, yeah.
Oh, shit. Was it close at least? Relatively speaking, yeah.
It was relatively mean. Like, I destroyed PFT.
It was not as bad as that. Oh, Hank beat you? Yeah, but, I mean, I had a a bad back, a messed up knee after I beat Marty.
I injured myself in the second match. Got it.
Still played and beat him. And a sunburn.
That's my fire fest, actually. Ray Baker got the best of me.
Big time yesterday. I was out, you want to see? Look at this.
Look at this. Sick brag that you got a sunburn on a Wednesday.
Ray Baker absolutely nuked me in the morning. Tough break, but maybe that's a sign.
Maybe that's Suns and Six. Yeah, there it is.
So spin zone. I actually did bet on the Suns yesterday because I had a sunburn, and I was like, this is a sign.
It turns out, no, it's just two separate cases of my brain being really dumb. Yeah, those don't have anything to do with each other my fire fest is um i downloaded uh the f1 game on my phone and i've just looked it up and i've spent 140 upgrading my car in the last two weeks so isn't that are you supposed to do that with your gameplay yeah i i yeah but i kept on getting smoked and i i was trying to push push push but i didn't have the juice so that's f1 though it you gotta you gotta have the most money if you want to win right exactly so i think i'm going to outspend the competitors but that always is a terrible feeling to download one of those stupid games on your phone and then just start throwing money at it for nothing that's absolutely real simple that happened to me with call of duty that every like few weeks they would come out with a new operator skin and cool gun that you never even used.
But you're like, that looks cool. When you're driving down the streets at Monza and you're getting fucking toasted by the guy in front of you, you know that you need some money behind your engine.
You just got to do what Kim Kardashian did. And she was like, guess what? My son stole my phone.
And then next thing I knew knew I've got $150 worth of upgrades on it. Just tweet at them and be like hey I think my two year old really loves your game but don't take away my upgrades to the aerodynamics of my car.
Yeah but you this is on them not you. No it's it's all there's nothing that I'm putting on it for the exterior.
It's all the real stuff. I'm getting brake pads.
I'm getting fucking, you know... What kind of engine are you working with? I drive the Ferrari car.
I'm a Ferrari guy, so, you know. Maybe think about a Honda.
No. Come on.
Something a little more price conscious? A little more practical? No, it's bad. I'm bad.
And I'm actually thinking about it right now. Like, I have a big race tonight.
I'm going to spend more money on it. So, that number.
It's on your phone? Yeah. Sick.
It's a pretty good game. It's a fun game.
Jake. Hey, guys.
Hey, Jake. Good to have you back.
You do? Yeah. I don't think anyone's seen this.
Good thing it wasn't on camera. So.

You talking to the girl at the bar?

No, but.

Oh.

I believe we found the person.

What?

And it's.

His name's Jake?

Yeah.

Holy shit.

I would never lie to you.

Do you want to say his last name?

No, no, no.

I won't do that to him.

So are you just making up this person?

No.

Thanks for the DM.

He'll back me up.

I can confirm. Okay.
All right. Good right good yeah so that's fortunately that's done uh so i was in the south this week not colorado arkansas and alabama okay um and we were meeting up with head coach eric musselman friend of the program recurring guest and we were doing a little video rico bosco if you don't know him he's a big merch guy so we were in the equipment room uh he's like jake why don't you have uh must give you one t-shirt i'll give you the box and i'll take the box so i go up musk gives me the t-shirt i go in for the handshake again i don't think anyone's seen this yet and uh he goes in for the hug uh-huh this communication i get a little flustered walk the wrong way oh no and then go back to the hug did you? Yeah.
This communication. I got a little flustered.
Walked the wrong way. Oh, no.
And then Rico walks out. Go back to the hug.
Did you? Yeah. I mean, that happens where someone goes handshake hug.
Did you? You didn't like melt into his arms or anything. No.
I don't really know what happened. Like a puddle.
Your body language. You were nodding, but you said no.
Did you whisper in his ears, I feel small in your arms because that's what i did not say anything it seemed but you know what happens

with adversity you try to make up for it so we ran it back a few minutes later it doesn't count

how'd it go the same time better i didn't see that it went i'm comparing it to virginia's story

umbc embarrassing come back when it all good redemption story i wouldn't say you won it all

with the second one would you say that it compromises you as a journalist not only that

Thank you. embarrassing come back when it all good redemption story i wouldn't say you won it all with the second one would you say that it compromises you as a journalist not only that you were accepting free gifts i've heard you guys talking about this on the show of of arkansas basketball essentially nope nope i accept jake tell me about the first time that you experienced the power of eric musselman i accept the gift i won't wear the other team's gear.
I'll put it in your pile. We'll auction it off for charity.

Okay.

Well, I ride the Musk bus,

so I'd like to keep the Ark.

Okay, or I can give it to you.

Yes.

Awesome.

Did you have a good trip, though?

It was awesome, yeah.

It was a lot of fun.

Nate Oates, too,

a recurring guest.

Yep.

Did you beat yourself up

a little bit about the handshake?

I mean, by the looks of Twitter,

I was the first person

to ever screw up a handshake.

How many times did you watch it? Honestly, not as many as Rico, because it was supposed to be a video about Rico and his merch joke. I stole the spotlight from him.
Now you're the alpha. But to answer your question, because Jake didn't answer your question, Hank.
I watched it about 150 times. Same.
Yes. On loop.
If you had to do it again, what lessons have you learned from it uh you you know must he's a big loving guy i should have just went in for the hug so we'd already been there for 24 hours wait you're you the way you learn is that you should have hugged him harder no i went in for the hand if i went in for the hug initially oh i was gonna say you should probably because you clearly don't know how to interact with people you should probably just cut off your hands so no one will ever try to shake your hand.

You know what happened the first time I shook your hand?

What?

Our interview?

Oh, you had wet hands.

You called me clammy hands.

Yeah, you did.

You had clammy ass hands.

I'm nervous.

That's gross.

In Saudi Arabia, they would absolutely just hot that thing off if you screwed up a handshake.

It would help everyone.

It would help you.

It would help the people around you.

Just no hands shake.

Just put them behind my back?

No, cut them off.

You get a prosthetic microphone. That would give you a leg up in the journalism game.
And a hook. Yeah.
Jake, if you were a double hand amputee, I guarantee you'd have a play-by-play, like a solid gig next year. Maybe the last five minutes of every interaction you have, you have a pair of, you remember the mittens that had the connector when you were a little kid? You just put a pair of mittens all right and it's like hey when when you go to say goodbye it's like hey listen i can't i can't be expected to do this like a normal human being so see you later well at the end of the day we talked about this with pft and hank during school streams coach still respects me that's what matters most i don't know reputation so i'd rather keep that intact.
And him invite us back. They have some big home games.
Kentucky, of course. West Virginia.
Bob Huggins, friend of the program. So if he invites us back and he still respects me, maybe I call a game for them one day.
That's what matters most. Isn't that the greatest phrase ever, though? Coach still respects me.
Yeah, he does. He still respects you.
I have maybe an easier solution, though.

You always have two coffees.

Just get two things from Starbucks.

I do have a water bottle with me at all times. So then you have two water bottles in your hands.

You can't shake anyone's hand.

Yeah.

Do you carry an inhaler?

No.

Around your necklace?

Zyrtec, Tylenol, and water.

You keep that on you?

In my backpack, yeah.

You keep them things on you all the time? Stay strapped. Zert.
Exactly. Alright, Billy, and then go into your recap, which you did a great job on Wednesday.
So, I also moved last weekend at the end of the 10-day weekend and I just figured out that my utilities is not in my rent. Which I'm just moving out of home for the first time.
Yeah. So I can't figure out how to pay those bills because- You have a landlord.
Don't. I know, but then I have to go through the utility company and they haven't given me the account number and all these little organizational things that I'm just really, really bad at.
You can come on a human being. Right, but then my lights might get shut off Here's the thing, though, Billy.
They don't shut them off for a while. Yeah.
A little tip. If you don't check your mail, you don't have to pay the bills that are in there.
It takes a while for them to shut them off. Your landlord might also, you might just have to pay him.
You should just hit him up and be like, hey, do I pay you or do you want me to take over the account? Yeah. It's just a of organizational stuff that i just not good at but you're growing up actual piece of life advice billy uh just set up auto pay yeah otherwise otherwise you'll come home and your cable will be off billy's gonna learn real quickly how much uh electricity costs to keep six terrariums lit up all day i know it's gonna be tough but yeah are you bringing any of the animals with you? Yes.
I'm in a place where they're all legal. Who did you bring with you? Oh, I got my dog.
What's his name? I got my YD. I got my frogs.
How many frogs came with you? I got three frogs. Are those that Carol Baskins? Oh, no.
Those are the cats. No, the cats all got adopted out.
I got a hedgehog. So it's all good.
What about the chickens? That is a lot of electricity. Chickens could not come.
Okay. It is a lot of electricity.
I'm going to have to figure that out. I think I might hop on Cameo.
Okay. And then you had another one? No, that seems about it.
All right, so your recap? My recap. So the Olympics are coming up around the corner, and as we've been seeing, a lot of Olympians have been getting tested for performance-intensive substances and all that sort of stuff.
Guess what sport is also in the Olympics and they're starting to do the eligibility for? Table tennis. Golf.
Oh. So, you know, if you see any, like, discrepancies in people's, you know, drives or sorts.
In their size compared to their size maybe two years ago? Interesting. Like these golfers are going to the Olympics? Yeah.
Yeah, driving if there's any problems. I don't think so.
I think Colin Morikawa because remember we talked to him about how I'm not going to root for US if Bryson's on it? Yeah, well anyway, totally separate issue. But yeah, we'll see how they...
Because they don't drug test in the in the pga yeah does the ioc do they have like a hotline that if you're anonymous you can call in i don't know i don't think anybody's had any like weird discrepancies yeah and the ioc it's not hard those drug tests no no i will actually they're pretty hard they're pretty hard oh they are yeah so who knows unless the olympics are in russia yeah and then um ch then Chris Paul wasn't drinking his secret stuff last night. Oh, interesting.
You know he had that bottle of secret stuff. Yes.
Thought to be promoting Space Jam, but if we think he's got some vertigo or something, maybe he needs to shoot his stuff back. I bet you LeBron's so happy that Chris Paul's failing right now, so he can be like, hey, come to LA and I'll win you a ring.
Listen, what I just found, the IOC integrity line. Oh.
It's a form that you can fill out online. If anybody happens to fit those descriptions that we just listed, just Google IOC integrity and compliance hotline.
Hypothetic. No, everything I said was just a joke.
And also, Hank, you should really lay off the carbs. You want that six-pack? Agreed.
Agreed. Once I'm fully moved in, I'm back on a diet.
Carb-free. You can't start a diet in the process of moving.
I'm carb-free except for donuts on Saturday and also pizza on Saturday and ice cream on Sunday. It's actually the best time to start a diet because you just don't buy any bad food.

Right.

True.

In your fridge. Also, it has to wait.
You have to buy takeout. After this weekend.
True. Because it's a beach weekend.
And on Monday's show, get ready. Because if you want to watch it, I think it's on HBO Max starting this weekend.
But the boys, all of us, have tickets to a real live movie theater on Sunday night we're going to the movies we're going to watch Space Jam 2 and then we're going to walk into the studio and do a recap of it so get excited for that so if you want to play along you can watch it HBO Max we're going to it felt great to actually buy the movie tickets we're going to say Billy oh Jake you didn't even know that we're going Sunday you did it oh okay yeah that's right you were here but I'm excited what are you guys going to do large popcorn I'm going to get the biggest popcorn they have the biggest soda they have probably like a bigite. Maybe some candy Reese's Pieces.
Yeah. Sour Patch Kids.
Snow Caps, perhaps. We'll have to rank our orders at Reese's Pieces.
Are you going to smuggle anything in our pants? Oh, God, Billy. Like a frog? No, just like food.
$80,000 an episode. Oh, yeah.
I forgot. Yeah.
Come on. You think we smuggle? I bought the whole theater out.
Actually, Billy, if you want to smuggle something in, I would encourage that. The most ridiculous thing that you think you can smuggle in, I want you to do that.
No, Billy, because we're going to tweet out what everyone's eating at the movie theater. Okay.
So you can only smuggle in. Okay.
You can't buy anything. Perfect.
All right? That would be better. Awesome.
So I look forward to whatever. It's going to be just a thing of protein.
Billy would actually bring a big protein powder, but then just smuggle stuff inside of it. Billy's going to just be blasting lines of optimum nutrition once we get in there.
All right. No free ads.
