Another podcast from some SNL late-night comedy guy, not quite.
Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and Friends.
Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier.

Get your team final qualifier.
I've written about half the questions.
Half one I'm really proud of.
Worked on it a long time during the game last night.
Very proud of.
And then this will be to be a final qualifier for the finals finals, which is next week.
Yeah, I'm a little nervous.
This is my last chance to qualify.
I know.
So make sure you call sometime today to get your reservation so that you can, you'll be able to do it.
All right.
So let's, I gave everyone.
Everybody homework.
I was thinking about this the other day.
I saw a TikTok where people said the best and worst state.
So I wanted us to do each of our five least favorite states.
All right.
This is the ones you would want to go to the least.
I have Ryan.
Mario is on.
Mario, by the way, how are you?
I'm good.
How has your first few weeks been here?
It's been awesome, man.
I'm enjoying it.
It's been a blast.
Have you had fun?
Yes, absolutely.
So what do you think?
What do you think about the fan base?
You know, you were not really a KSR.
listen or can you believe how many people like you have to you nearly have 10,000 followers.
I know it's insane.
It's insane.
Just the fan base itself is just like I could just tell us.
It's more than a radio show with KSR.
It's more than a radio show.
He texted us last night and said I didn't realize how much impact you guys had.
Impact.
Impact.
Yeah.
It's insane.
Well, good.
Well, that's awesome.
All right.
So let's do this.
Shannon.
I hope you've done it too.
I'll go first and then I'll go next to you.
Right.
All right.
I'm ranking.
These are my five.
Worst states in the United States.
And one of them has risen quickly in the worst state list.
Number five is Rhode Island.
Okay?
I want you to tell me something about Rhode Island that's, first of all,
no one has ever done anything in Rhode Island except driven through it.
Its main city is Providence, and I don't know if I could think of a worst city.
What is in Providence?
They have a college that no one cares about,
and can you name me one thing in Providence?
Rhode Island that anyone has ever visited.
No.
No.
The Billy Donovan played there.
Yeah, I mean, there's nothing in Providence except that college, and that college is only
interesting because of who went there and left.
That's the only thing.
Rhode Island, to me, is number five.
If you've been in Rhode Island, if you blinked, you missed it, and you were in another
state.
All right.
Number four is Kansas.
There's a time Kansas was number one on my list, because it is the longest state in the
country to drive from one side of the state to the other side takes four and a half days and there
is nothing in between nothing nothing but we did go out in wichita one night if you remember we did
and uh they said this is the wildest place to go and there wasn't one person anywhere we're there by
ourselves but i'm still going to put kansas at number four number three uh is north dakota
a big believer there's one too many dakotas south dakota at least has mount rushmore north
Dakota has nothing at all. And unlike Montana, it's also not all that pretty. So you just end up
with a big flat space of land that's number three. Number two, and it has risen quite a bit,
Arkansas. All right. The combination of Arkansas is the Ozarks are there, and we nearly died
in the Ozarks when we ran out of gas. The people are strange, the people are weird, and in the last
few years in the last few weeks they've all yelled at me collectively i have had more people
follow me that have hog or suey or pig in their name than any other animal in history i
cannot stand arkansas i didn't like it before but i really don't like it now the only
there are two people from arkansas that i have any fondness over one's bill clinton and that's
barely he's he barely's hanging on and then i like bobby bones
So I say Arkansas is number two.
And then number one, and it's going to be hard to ever de-thrown this state.
Nebraska is the worst state in the country.
There's nothing there but corn.
Their football team is awful, but they try to act like their national champions.
I cannot stand Nebraska.
I've never had, and I got sued by a referee that lives in Omaha.
I am not a fan of Nebraska.
To me, that's the worst state in the country.
So Rhode Island, Four, then Kansas, then North Dakota, then Arkansas, then Nebraska.
Right.
Great list.
Not a bad list.
Great list.
I'm going to start out with the bottom with New Hampshire.
It is butt cold.
There's nothing up there but snow.
There's nothing to do unless you like to walk around in the snow.
Even though they did tell us one of my favorite jokes of all time when we visited New Hampshire.
Too fattie.
Too fottie.
Why don't they have 239 beans in a can?
If you add one more, it'd be too fottie.
That's a great joke.
Great joke.
That should keep it out of the top five right there.
There's really nothing to do but snow stuff.
So they're number five.
Number four, Oklahoma.
Boring state.
I mean, they've got the OKC Thunder, but what else?
Nothing.
There's nothing else to do.
Plus, the weather is like scary.
They call it tornado alley.
I had a bad one last night, by the way.
I didn't even know that.
Prayers to the people in that little small town.
It looked awful.
So I'm putting that on number four just because of that alone.
Number three, and I agree with you about Nebraska.
I got Nebraska number three.
No big cities, no tourist attractions.
It's flat.
It's boring.
There's nothing to do.
They got the Omaha
College Baseball World Series,
but that's it.
And I feel like Nebraska,
I don't know why,
I feel like it smells bad.
And I don't know.
The whole state?
The whole state smells.
Maybe it's cow manure or horse poop,
but I feel like it smells bad, the whole state.
All right, number two, I agree with you again.
Arkansas.
I thought we were going to die
when we drove through the Ozarks.
I mean, you were on fumes.
You had no gas.
We were at the top of the Ozarks,
and there's no gas stations anywhere.
I don't think we realize how horrible the Ozarks.
Oh, they're awful.
Because a lot of people, I don't think you ever have any reason to go there.
It's bad, but go ahead.
There's no beaches, no tourist attractions.
All they have is Walmart and Tyson Foods, and I feel like it's a dirty, dirty state.
Arkansas dirty.
Number one, I'm surprised we all didn't say this is Kansas.
I mean, they should get a chainsaw out and just cut Kansas out of the United States and deport it or something,
because it's awful, and I can't wait to hear what Shannon has to say about it.
All right, let's go to Mario.
Number five.
All right, here we go.
Five of them starting off with Arkansas.
I'm not being biased here.
I'm not being biased.
I've never met anyone who, no one wants to vacation, go to vacation in Arkansas.
True.
Have you met anybody?
No.
No, never once.
Yes.
And if you're a coach, you definitely don't want to coach there.
So yeah.
Number four, I got Kansas.
Okay.
Just drop through it.
It's too long.
Too long, not much going on, nothing really to see.
So I got Kansas at number four.
Number three, I got Missouri.
Boring, really boring.
You know, wait a minute, Missouri.
So what about Kansas City?
You know, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelsey?
It doesn't do it for you?
No, it doesn't.
Taylor Swift likes it.
Taylor Swift's there, yeah.
Cool.
All right, number two.
Number two, I got Nebraska.
You got to fit him in there.
Yep.
Like Matt kind of said, they think, you know,
any Nebraska football fan or University of Nebraska football fan,
they think that their school is top tier better than what they think they are.
Okay, that's interesting.
He said all the ones I would have thought,
so I think number one is going to be a surprise.
What's number one?
Number one is Idaho, because I was telling you guys off the air,
I didn't know it was a state.
So I had to put it in there.
He was serious, too, when he said that.
I didn't know Idaho was a state.
I had to put it in there.
I was like, that's number one.
That has to be number one.
You didn't know Idaho was a state.
I didn't know it was a state.
I'm a big history guy, so I guess I forgot it was a state.
So you, in your life,
had never heard that Idaho was a state.
I heard of the place.
I just didn't know it was a state.
He was serious.
I love it.
I didn't know.
Well, that would make a good reason for it to be number one.
I didn't know it was a state.
Very forgettable.
It's very forgettable.
All right.
Nice job.
All right.
Shannon, number five.
All right.
Let me see.
We've got my notes here.
All right.
Mississippi is number five.
Mississippi.
When I think of this state,
I think of slum and trash,
it's very trashy.
It's also the unhealthyest state in America.
So stick that in your cowbell and ring it,
Mississippi.
Number four.
Actually,
the cowbells is a good reason.
Number four is Alabama because it stinks.
I mean this metaphorically.
I also mean this literally.
If you've driven through Alabama recently,
it just has a smell from border to border.
I don't know what's going on there,
but it's awful.
They also have Tommy Tuberville as a senator,
so that's pretty bad.
Okay, that's good.
Number three?
Number three is West Virginia because there's nothing there
but mountains and sadness.
Their economy is poop and so is their state.
I'm ashamed to be a neighboring state with West Virginia.
You know, we have an affiliate in West Virginia, Shannon.
Well, you should move that station to Kentucky.
Number two is Arkansas because there's nothing there.
It's a backwood state.
It has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
The best thing about Arkansas is that little dumpy drugstore in the Ozarks called
who to thunk it as a hook to anyone would come to this dump.
And it also has the name.
name of the worst state in it.
Yes, it does.
And that's Kansas.
Yes, Kansas is number one.
And that's where all hope goes to die.
If you move to Kansas, you've given up on life.
This place is boring.
It's flat.
It flat out sucks.
If you're considering going to Kansas, you need to heavily reconsider doing that.
It is by far the worst place in existence.
There we go.
I like it.
All right.
So worst states, I went with Nebraska.
Shannon, Kansas.
Who'd you go with?
Kansas.
Kansas.
and then Idaho that Mario didn't know was a state.
So Kansas, I think if you add up the votes,
I think Arkansas was the only state that made all four of our list, actually.
Yeah, Arkansas was definitely high on all four of our lists also.
So Kansas and Arkansas seem to be the ones we agree.
I came prepared to defend Indiana.
I thought one of you guys were going to put Indiana on the best.
Indiana was going to be six for me.
But then I remembered that actually there are places in Indiana.
I do like, I like Evansville.
I've always kind of had it.
And then Southern Indiana.
I like Southern Indiana.
A lot of our listeners.
So that's why I would leave them out.
I don't.
I would mention.
I'm like Shannon, though.
I almost put West Virginia on there.
They were probably my number six.
Outside of Kentucky really quick, what's your favorite state?
If you had to say outside of Kentucky, what's the state you like the most?
See, I'm a beach guy, so I love Florida.
Florida would be my pick, for sure.
Even know everyone's crazy there.
Yeah, well, you know.
Get embrace it when you go there.
It's part of it.
Yeah, mine's probably New York.
Yeah.
I would say New York.
What about you, Shannon?
Florida.
Florida.
New York is a close second or third, though.
What about you, Mario?
Either between New York or Florida, both my hometown.
That's right.
I forget you're a New York guy.
Long Island in the house.
All right.
Well, there you go.
So there are your best and worst state.
Good homework project.
Frankies.
Who's up next?
Alan.
Alan.
Alan, go ahead, Alan.
Hello?
Yes, go ahead.
Yeah, I was at.
I wondered about this NIL, this $41 thing.
Yes.
The club blue.
Yes.
Tell me some details.
I have one other questions.
What do you want me to tell you about it?
I mean, what do you want to know?
Like, what's the benefit of somebody paying the $41?
What's the benefit?
Well, I mean, the benefit is you're helping UK and IL,
and then they'll also have events and the like.
I mean, you know, there's more info on their website about what they do, but they have that event coming up.
I don't think 41 is, 41 is what people are doing for Mark Pope, but I think 25 is the other one.
By the way, I announced $650,000 yesterday.
Yeah.
Between then and my show this morning, they're now up to $720,000.
They rate $70,000 in a day yesterday.
That's amazing.
So just so people know, but Club Blue N IL, but that's the answer, essentially.
And is anybody going to be signing at Fatsbar?
You mean players from last year?
Yes.
I don't know.
We had Antonio Reeves.
I do not know that we'll have another.
I think once Cal left, I think a lot of guys are gone now, too, unfortunately.
So, yeah, we had Antonio Reeves, but I'm.
off the top of my head, I don't know that we'll have another one.
So maybe not read Shepherd either?
Yeah, I don't.
I'm not going to say no because he obviously has reasons to come back here,
but we don't have it scheduled right now.
We advertise it on.
Of course, I will.
If we do it, believe me, if we do it, I will certainly advertise it.
Okay, because I've been waiting for that.
Thank you.
Thank you, sir.
Noche Linda Farms.
Mario, do you like it good?
You like beef?
I like beef.
All right.
How about, would you celebrate?
Mother's Day with Noche Linda beef.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's Kentucky Proud beef.
Great locally grown dry-aged beef right to your mother's door.
Nochalinda Farms.com.
What else would a mom want but beef?
859-707-7-004.
You can get a Noce Linda Farms gift card.
You can get them a whole beef or a Delmonico steak.
You ever had Delmonico steak?
I never had Delmonico steak.
What about a bone in rib?
Yeah, I've had it on it.
What about the Tomahawk?
No, no, that's new to me.
All right, so it's all that, just like Idaho.
Noche Linda Farms is a Kentucky proud partner.
Go to Noce Linda Farms, 859-707-7, 2004.
Thank you very much, Mario.
Good to see you.
Good stuff.
Thank you.
We'll take a break.
Very back.
This is KSR.
Welcome back.
Take you Sports Radio.
People writing in.
One person writes, Matt, I would take a segment of Shannon ranking things every day.
His hatred of everything makes me happy.
You do.
He's being honest.
Yeah, he really does seem to hate everything.
Not everything.
Another person writes, Matt, I met Mario recently.
He's the nicest young man I've ever seen.
You all could take a lesson from him.
Yes, we could.
Yes, we could.
That's not very nice, though.
That's kind of a backhanded put-down.
Yeah, I mean, Mario is changing the nice rankings.
Well, welcome aboard.
The KSR nice rankings of the people involved.
I think without question, Mario's number one.
Yes.
Ryan is number two.
Okay.
Drew is number three.
I am number four.
Billy is number five.
And Shannon is number six.
If we're just talking about just being nice.
I think you could be six easily.
I could be five.
I'm much nicer to the average person than you are.
You don't want to talk to anybody ever.
Yeah, I do.
I'm a people person.
No, you're not a people person.
You're the least people person.
I know.
I'll hear an argument between me and Billy for number four.
I'm not listening to you at number four.
That is not happening.
But I think the rest of them are pretty good.
I think Mario won.
Ryan's been number one for many years, but I think you've been dropped.
I think he's nicer than you are.
Ryan, though, you say he's really nice.
No, no, but he's sneakily sometimes kind of jerk.
No, no, no.
Okay, so then there's the who like holds grudges.
I'm number one on least holding grudges.
I hold no grudges.
You are number six by far right.
You hold more grudges than anyone on earth.
You have a hit list of people one day that if they go missing,
I'm calling the police and saying you're the number one suspect.
I just have never understood why somebody would want to do something.
In terms of, okay, so I just did the nicest.
In terms of hating other people, Shannon's number one in terms of hating.
I don't hate anybody.
nobody in my life that I hate. But Ryan's number two.
Ryan has an enemy list. Right?
Ryan has a prominent enemy.
It seems to be dwindled as I've gotten older.
I feel like it adds.
I feel like you get new people on it all the time.
I haven't added one quite a while. I'm trying to think.
Did you see the restaurant chain we have here in Lexington?
Saul Good just shut down.
And I loved it.
It was one of my favorite places to go in town.
They had the one out by Fayette Mall,
then they had the one downtown for a while,
then they had one out in Hamburg.
Great place.
I really enjoyed it.
Smart, man.
The restaurant business is tough.
It's hard.
It's hard.
Like, if we didn't have this radio show,
I mean, I don't think, like, you know,
we're lucky that this is, like, a secondary thing for us.
Yeah.
But if it was your primary source of business,
restaurants are hard, man.
Yeah.
So I feel, they were open since 2008.
That's a good run.
It is a good run.
Yeah.
had a good little niche, you know, just kind of burgers and pizza and beer and drinks,
and it kind of was working for them.
I feel like other places have done that, too.
Yeah, they did.
They did it right.
I feel like burgers and drinks, Shannon, feel like something you can get a lot of places.
And pizza.
Yeah.
And pizza.
Yeah.
Well, shout out to them.
I love that.
I did too.
Shout out to them.
The one downtown used to be like you couldn't get in it if there was an event downtown.
And the one out by the mall has been there.
I guess that's probably their first one since, since 2008, been in a long time.
Who's up now?
next. Trav.
Trav. How are you, Trav?
Hey, boys, listen here.
Yelma, is the opposite of Arkansas.
Takes more vacations to get out of their state
because they know it sucks, too, than anybody else.
It's not fun.
But real note here, you all,
Theo had his Kentucky jacket on.
Maybe one day we can get Theo Vaughn on.
A little Theo and Steve Zon.
I'd love to have Steve Zon.
I don't think,
Theo's probably a little big for this show.
he's at the same time I appreciate the call he's not really my thing I know people love him though
I remember when he was on the road rules that's what got his start right he was on road rules in like
1998 or something like it's been that yeah this he's fine actually's not really my my thing
but I don't think we'd be able to get him he's huge now Steve Zon did have a Kentucky jacket on
though he did have a Kentucky jacket on and Steve Zon's a huge Kentucky fan he's been on the show before
yeah I've tried to get him to host before and he's always
says it's too nerve-wracking, which is crazy for a...
No, I'm serious.
I mean, he is like, think about that.
This is a dude who's acted in millions of shows, and he always says to me, yeah, I don't
want to host.
He was like, I'll come on with you sometime, but it's too nerve-wracking to host.
Who was the country music singer that came in with his cowboy hat that was really nervous
when he first sat right here?
Charlie Crockett?
Charlie Crockett.
Remember, he was like, you could tell he was really nervous when we just started doing an
interview.
It is weird that people who can be so famous in one thing would get so nervous about something else.
Who's next?
Joe.
Joe, go ahead, Joe.
Hey, Matt, the way Shannon broke down the end of that race, would you consider him a jockeying Jeffrey or a horse racing Henry?
I don't know.
Are you talking about the end of the derby?
Yeah, I didn't expect him to break down the lingo, the tugging on the main.
I'm a huge horse racing fan.
I don't even know about that stuff.
And he kind of blew my mind.
Shannon's an expert.
That's what he's here for.
Let me know.
Yeah.
I appreciate the call.
What do you think about?
They've got to make that horse go to the pretenance, right?
I think if you win the derby, you've got to go to the preakness.
I think you just have to.
I mean, Kenny McPeak, I like Kenny McPeak.
He's a listener to this show of him.
Yes.
Apparently he was listening yesterday when we gave him props.
Great.
Kenny, I'm going to give you a message.
You got to go to the preteness.
The derby winner has to go to the preteness.
has to go to the pretenance.
It's not, it may not have been your plan,
but sometimes God intervenes,
and Shannon, you have to go to the preteness.
You're the derby winner.
You can't skip the preakness.
And could you imagine if that horse won the Triple Crown?
Yeah, you got to.
It's not even a favorite.
And I know people say it's too close together.
It's like two weeks later, but you know what?
Tough, you got to go.
Unless the horses hurt.
Correct.
You have to run.
Horses have done it for over 100 years now.
I guess his plan was he was going to take the horse that won the Oaks
and was going to take it to the preiness.
But my view is, if you were going to take the horse that won the Oaks,
that's only one more day off.
Yeah.
What is this load management?
Are you LeBron James of horses now?
What are you doing?
Hopefully he'll take them both.
He'll have the Philly running the run for the lilies.
And then...
I mean, in horse racing, to the general public,
you're guaranteed two big events a year.
You're guaranteed the Derby and the Preakness.
I mean, to people who love horse racing,
you also have the Breeders Cup.
But you're guaranteed the Derby and the Preakness.
You owe it to horse racing to give it the chance for the third one.
You do.
Which is the Belmont.
Nobody cares about the Belmont if they haven't won the first two.
So you owe it to horse racing to give it a chance to have another marquee day.
By the way, did you know the Belmont this year is not at Belmont Park?
I heard that.
It moved it, right?
For the next three years, it's Saratoga.
For the next three years.
And for the next three years, it's shorter.
So it's actually going to be easier to win a triple crown.
You know, normally it's a mile and a half, but the Saratoga racetrack can't hold that.
So it's going to be the same distance as the derby.
Wow.
So one of the things it always does in the Triple Crown winner is in that third race, they often run out of gas.
Yep.
At the end, this year you don't have to worry about that because it's only going to be a mile in a four.
Come on, Kenny.
We're pulling for you.
Kenny, you got to go to the preakness.
Don't be a wimp.
We'll take a break.
We'll be right back.
It's Kentucky Sports Radio.
T.J. Smith, personal injury attorney.
Call T.J. He'll make them pay.
Now, more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Here's Matt Jones.
Welcome back, Techie Sports Radio.
Text Machine, 772-7452524.
I just asked you this question.
What age are horses the fastest?
Because, you know, the Breeders' Cup classic is supposed to be like all the best horses.
Yeah.
And sometimes the three-year-old.
wins, but sometimes like a four-year-old blitz. Do you know?
No, I don't know. I'd say we're in that area, three to five years, maybe.
You know, I'm the horse racing expert.
You think it's three?
You think it's three? Yes.
But a lot of times the classic winner wasn't even in the derby.
Secretary's records were all set, you know, and he was three-year-old.
They were three. American Farrow won the classic.
Yeah.
I don't remember if Justify did, but.
It's a good question.
Yeah, I don't know.
Somebody will know.
One person writes, Matt, you're wrong about the pre-year-old.
This, horse racing, you've got to listen to the horse to determine whether it runs or not.
What does that mean?
Listen to the horse.
It talks to you.
You know, at night, hey, man, my legs are sore.
Horse, what do you?
Got a pooled hamstring.
Sir, I'd rather run in the Belmont.
No, if the horse is hurt or even possibly could be hurt, don't run it.
Don't run it.
I'm for that.
But, like, clearly it's not the two weeks off if you're going to run the horse that's in the oaks.
Yeah.
That's the same amount of time.
I heard an interview with Kennedy Peak yesterday, though.
He said he thought Mystic Dang came out of the race pretty good.
Like there was no injuries or anything.
Yeah.
I don't know what listen to the horse means.
I mean, if the horse is hurt, don't run.
Right.
But otherwise, you run.
It would be fun, you know, to get behind it, a local horse going for the second leg of the triple crown.
I think they're scared, Shannon, because, you know, Baffert had a couple of horses that weren't allowed to be in the derby.
Yeah.
And they're all going to the pretense.
And apparently one or two of those might be the best horse.
horse.
Really.
So maybe that's part of it.
I don't know if the horse itself is scared.
I think you got to listen to the horse.
It'll tell you.
You got to listen to the horse.
The horse wants to compete.
Yeah.
He ain't afraid no Bob Baffert.
Did you see it about the story about the money in Ohio in the bathroom?
No, but I like it already.
Small town in Ohio, two different gas stations.
On the same day at one gas station, somebody found $20,000 in a stall.
What luck.
At another gas station.
in the same town, $10,000 in the stall.
What?
30,000 total in the same town in the stall.
Both sets of people called the police and told them about the money.
They don't know if there's other money because presumably like the other people might
have just taken it.
Who knows?
Yeah.
But they don't know why, and they're trying to figure out why there was $10,000 and $20,000
in cash in the stalls in the bathroom in Ohio.
So here's my question for you.
Let's say you walk in a gas station.
You find $20,000.
Apparently it was like, I don't know where it was,
but it was somewhere where it was trying to be hidden,
but it was easy to see.
And you find it.
Are you taking it?
Are you turning it in?
You want me to go first, Cheney?
Yes.
I would have to turn it in.
Okay.
Yeah, I don't think that's a lot of money.
I would turn it in.
You're not really stealing it because clearly, like,
somebody's hiding it.
Yeah, finders keepers.
So you're turning it in.
I'm turning it in.
What about you, shit?
Why do you even ask me?
You know what I'm going to say.
So you're going to walk out of the gas station with 20,000 in cash like in your pockets?
Yep, and probably a stick of beef jerky.
Maybe.
Now let me ask you this.
Are you not worried?
Yes.
Okay.
So forget about the law for a second.
My view is anybody who's stashed 20,000 in cash in a bathroom, that ain't probably.
probably the most legal money in the world.
No.
Right.
Aren't you worried the person's going to be like trying to go find who has their money?
Yep.
Now are they going to do that?
Well, I mean, maybe they go to the gas station and go, can I see your security camera?
I don't know.
Maybe.
Wouldn't you be thinking about it?
I would be in the back of my mind the whole time.
But that person's guilty if they're looking for their money, obviously.
Why was it there to begin with?
But clearly they don't care about the law if they're stashing money, so they'll just come take it.
I don't think you can just have anybody just pull up the security camera, can you?
I don't know how that works here.
Maybe they have an arrangement with the gas station that they'll let them hide their money there.
We think maybe the thing has like an Apple ID tag on it where you can track the location?
I'm just saying, would you not, Shannon, if you took it, wouldn't you be at least a little concerned as the person might come after you for it?
I'd spend it before they could get to me.
Well, then they go, you got to find it and make it up to me.
I would be scared to death.
I wouldn't be able to sleep.
I'd be looking on my shoulder the whole time thinking, okay, they're coming after this money.
They know I've got it.
They're coming after me.
All right, so it's not worth it for you for $10,000.
What if it was $500,000?
Are you good looking over your shoulder for $500,000?
I'm probably more determined to turn that in.
What a win.
I think you'd be more scared with $500,000.
Yes.
Because then it's like real money, you know.
But, Shannon, you're more going to take it with $500,000?
Yeah, yeah.
I keep loading it up.
How much you think I take room?
She's going to go to every bathroom in Ohio tonight.
First of all, it's all in the same town.
And they have no idea where it came from?
When I read the story, as of yet, they don't, at the time, didn't know where it came.
You've got to wonder if somebody planted it, wanted it to be found to help out some residents?
No, it's drug money.
Yeah, exactly.
What do you mean helped out?
Who do you know that just leaves $10,000 in bathroom stalls?
No, Robin Hood?
Yeah, I mean, come on.
Like, they're not leaving it to help.
out it's drug money clearly dig a hole or something i don't understand putting it there where you
know somebody's going to find it but if you did put money in a hole like don't worms eat it or something
the worms i mean much more worried about somebody like me taking it i would think if you put money
unless you put it in like a box or something if you stick money in the ground it's going to decay oh yeah
well it's funny we talked about stream bean yesterday they found this all this money in his house years
and years later that it deteriorated because he had hit it and nobody knew it was there exactly
You have to watch for that.
Yeah.
But you would guess, right, the money in the bathroom stall, that's got to be drug money.
I'm sure it was meant for a quick pickup then.
The guy maybe got late, did he get caught in traffic?
And somebody went in to drop a deuce and stole it from him before he got there?
I don't think he got caught in traffic.
I think it's probably like, no, it's probably like somebody who's selling drugs
and is always worried about being raided or something.
so you store the money somewhere else because they're like,
well, the police will never search these gas stations.
And he didn't hide it well enough.
And he didn't hide it well enough.
And now probably everybody in this town, Shannon, is looking up in the ceilings of the stalls
trying to see if there's money in places.
Absolutely.
Who knows?
Will you please keep us posted on this story?
I'm very much intrigued.
If I read an update, I'll let you know.
Who's up next?
Lincoln.
Lincoln.
Go ahead, Lincoln.
Hey, fellas.
I love your show.
I just had a quick story in why Arkansas is.
really one of the worst dates in America.
So I was down there for about a week,
visiting some friends, which was fun, which was fun.
But I was down there for a week when it was the historically highest,
one of the hottest weeks the entire year was over 100 every single day of the year.
And cellas and mosquitoes, there are so many mosquitoes in there.
Old children just fly away with these mosquitoes.
I was, you know, smatting them everywhere.
They were in my, you know, pancakes.
Europe. They're just everywhere.
Mosquitoes in that area, I appreciate the call, are awful.
So that's another reason to hate Arkansas.
We all had Arkansas very, very high in our list.
Yeah, 859-280-2287. Who's next?
Kenny.
Kenny, go ahead. Kenny.
Hey, Matt. I'm a long-time fan of the cats.
Dispassated by this NIL.
I've got a job where I'm losing a lot of podcasts here in the Louisville area.
and all I hear about is how much money Louisville has.
Is there that much difference between Louisville and Kentucky and NIL?
No, they don't know what they're talking about.
I mean, first of all, if Louisville had all that money,
how come they didn't get any star NIL player?
Now, they did fine.
They did good.
I mean, considering where they were last year,
Louisville will have a much better roster.
They'll probably be contending to be a tournament team.
But Louisville, I don't,
I guess my, Louisville does not have access to more NIL in basketball or football than Kentucky does.
I feel confident in saying that.
Okay.
I'm not saying they don't have a good amount, but it's not like they're, you know, listen,
Louisville's excited, and they should be.
They've been awful.
So now they have life and they're excited, but don't let them exaggerate.
It's not like they're rolling around like, you know, Scrooge McDuck and money.
right and uh i know the school by kentucky can't give n iL money but can they pay for a commercial
for like tv and put a QR code on the tv they give money well they can't so as i understand it
and i could be wrong about this uk can give platforms to people to promote it so for instance
i was a little surprised at pope's pep rally they didn't like let him
do it.
Yeah.
But they could have, right?
They do it at games.
Sure.
They do it in games.
My guess is they probably can during game radio broadcasts give them commercials if they
want.
I don't know that they could pay for the commercials.
I think the NIL thing would have to do it.
But to be honest with you on that, I'm not 100% sure.
Yeah, they do a football game a couple times during a game, a basketball game at Rupp on the
scoreboard.
They do it.
Yeah, I mean, they, and I appreciate the call.
You remember a couple years ago I would talk about how Mitch needed to embrace NIL
And people would ask me, well, what are you talking about?
Well, it was stuff like that, right?
It was stuff like sort of allowing their platforms to be used at this point.
He has basically said, we'll do whatever we need to do.
So it's changed a little bit.
But that wasn't how it was, say, two years ago.
They were kind of late to the game in that.
I think Mitch thought the NCAA was going to be able to save itself.
And then it didn't.
And so a lot of these other schools were pushing the envelope earlier.
But at this point, I think everybody's doing the same thing.
So the guy had a good question.
Can they put the QR code on a TV commercial?
I don't know if I've seen that yet.
Have you?
Well, they can, but the question is who would pay for it?
And I don't know the answer to that.
If it's a UK commercial, could they put the QR code?
I would think yes, but I don't know for sure.
I would think the answer to that is yes.
I don't know that there's anything the NCAA can really do right now.
Yeah, no regulations right now.
I mean, I'm not sure there's any rule they can put in that will be enforced a lot.
We have a new advertising.
Oh, great.
Pelican technology.
Pelican.
Pelican.
It's like Peloton, but Pelican.
Okay.
They are a great way to help your IT solutions.
I'm going to give you an example.
All right.
Small business owners started receiving replies to emails he never even sent.
So what did Pelican do?
They jumped in, changed all the password, locked out the unauthorized users, and helped create security measures so it wouldn't happen.
Good for them.
So if you're someone like Ryan who responds to every fishing email, maybe you have an employee that does that.
Pelican can come in and keep Ryan from ruining your IT.
I love it.
Check out Pelicon.
The website is Pelicon, P-E-L-C-O-N-com slash K-S-R.
One more time.
P-E-L-L-C-O-N-com slash K-S-R.
KSR. If your business needs, IT needs, or you want to make sure you don't get hacked, you don't get, like, a worm or a virus, pelicon.com slash KSR.
Maybe they can help me, my Facebook account, stop sending out diet pill ads.
They probably could.
It probably could, couldn't it?
Your Facebook has already been hacked.
I think so.
Your Twitter was hacked, wasn't it, Shannon?
It was for about 12 hours.
Yep, they got me.
You need Pelicon.
dot com slash ksr we'll take a break be right back to kentucky sports radio welcome back tuggie sports
radio 859 280220287 uh draft kings it's time for our draft king's picks of the night
cavaliers celtics game one celtics i think they're the they're going to go to the championship
i like the celtics i think they're going to kill yeah cavaliers stink celtics are really good
porzeng is is out though he is out luke cornet bring him him
back.
So you've been still on the team?
I don't know.
Last time I thought he was with the Celtic.
You just said that because you know his mom.
That's true.
And he's a former Vanderbilt Commodore.
That's right.
That's your NBA analysis from...
That's how we break it down in this show.
Mavericks Thunder.
This should be a great series, right?
Yes.
Shea versus Luca?
Who you got?
The Thunder seems to be that this has been their year.
I like the Thunder in this series.
I'm going to take the math.
They have two of the three best players.
When you get the playoffs, oftentimes, it's just about
who's got the stars.
They got Luke and Kyrie.
Kyrie's been good.
He has been.
Had done anything crazy?
Has it like, you know, said that the president's a frog or anything?
So, like, he's been kind of normal for him.
So I'm going to take the maps.
What about you, Shannon?
I'm going to take the Thunder.
And, by the way, Luke Cornett is with the Celtics, Ryan.
He said bring him back.
I thought he was.
Yeah, you said bring him back.
Remember we talked about him?
He was blocking three-point attempts at the rim.
He wouldn't block him as they shoot him.
They'd block him at the rim.
Yes, he would.
before they start going down.
Yeah.
Well, he would do it more.
He would jump to try to act like it to screw up the shooter.
Right.
He wasn't really trying to block it.
Right.
He'd be taking a different angle to block a jump shot.
But he wasn't trying to block it.
He was just trying to, like, screw up their vision.
So when he couldn't get out to the shooter, he would jump, not trying to block it,
but just trying to impede their vision.
Yeah.
Very interesting.
concept for Luke Cornett.
Did you buy it?
Yeah, of course I did.
All right, well, good.
KSR Golf Scramble's on sale for Louisville.
It's on sale.
I'll tweet out.
It's on sale for Louisville now.
The Lexington one sold out, so now the Louisville one is on sale today.
I will send out the link for those of you that missed the Lexington one,
or you want to play the Louisville one.
That's always a ton of fun, and it's usually right before football season starts.
Guy, just ask you during the commercial break if the Somerset date has been set.
We haven't sold to start, but that was not on sale yet.
Okay.
The Louisville one is on sale today.
Gotcha.
I'll tweet out the link after the show.
Who's next, Shannon?
David.
David.
Go ahead, David.
Hey, just a couple quick things, guys.
A, Ryan, if you go watch Tiger play, I'm the biggest Tiger fan in the world.
Watch from behind the gallery so you can see the shots and everything.
You'll get a good view.
But do yourself a favor.
A couple times, jump ahead about three holes and watch this human.
tsunami come over.
It'll give you chills.
Yeah, really.
I was there for the U.S. Open that he lost it, I think, in the end of Michael Campbell,
but it was at Pinehurst, and I saw what you're talking about.
It's amazing to watch.
It's crazy saying, and one last thing on a disc song,
Waylon Jennings wrote a song called Bob Wills is Still the King,
and I'm a huge music aficionado, and I found this out last week.
He wrote it about his friend Willie Nelson because he thought Willie was getting too big.
Oh, I didn't know that.
I've heard Bob Wills is still the king.
I didn't know that was about Willie.
He wrote it, sang it at Willie's picnic, and when he came off, he said,
what did you think about that?
And Willie knew he was trying to pick a fight.
And he just said, that's a good song, O'Hawas.
I think he got a hit.
Well, all right.
Well, I appreciate it.
I didn't know that story.
Yeah, the Tiger thing, you know, there's not a lot of times you get to see like a legend.
Right?
So how many current legends are there in sports?
Like legend that still performs.
Like go through the sports.
LeBron's a legend.
Yes.
Okay, so like you could see LeBron.
In football, Mahomes is a legend.
Are going to be, right?
Baseball.
Otani, maybe.
I think he or Mike Trout, one of those two guys.
I'm going to say Otani, maybe.
Hockey.
I don't think there's one right now.
tennis, Federer Nadal, both kind of retired.
I guess Joachovich is still one.
You know.
Serena.
When she plays, yes.
Tiger.
I mean, there's just not many.
So when you get a chance, if there's a legend in your city,
it's going to be cool to get to see them, right?
Absolutely.
I feel that way, just the fact we saw him in that practice round a couple years ago.
I went and watched Brett Farr play at Cincinnati because I wanted to watch
Brett Farr play once in my life.
I kind of said I didn't see Tom Brady because you,
want to see those legends play yeah so tom brady would be one if you got to see what's the best i've
seen tiger in person what's the best athlete shannon you've ever seen in person uh probably
have to be like a wrestler john sina okay yeah i mean for what the wrestling is yeah john sino
i would be one i saw i saw the rock live did you see the rock live austin live yeah yeah what about
you what's the best athlete did you ever see larry bird in person
I saw him in college.
Never saw him in the NBA in person.
Oh, you saw him in college?
In Indiana State.
Yeah, my dad took us up there one weekend.
Well, that's very cool.
It was very cool.
You know, Tara Holt's like maybe an hour, hour and a half from where I grew up.
So we went to see him, I think, in college.
That's very cool to see.
I don't think I ever saw Jordan in person that I can remember.
I saw Nicholas in person out here in Lexington.
Oh, did you really?
When he played at that senior tournament.
Um, yeah, Federer, probably Federer and Tiger.
That's a good one.
Dale Earnhardt Sr.
I was there raised.
That's a good one.
Yeah, I saw Dale Earnhardt Sr.
Uh, as well.
