Welcome back, Techie Sports Radio. Hour number two. Still going to keep the phone lines close. Still got a lot of stuff to talk to. We may be able to do it at the end. Our fans vote Yukon. UConn. More UConn votes than St. John's votes.

That surprised you at all? A little bit. I think we've got that Rick Petino love back. I think we want to see him on the court against us. I think Kentucky fans, though, at the end of the day, they want to play good teams. It's one of the things that I think has been clear over the years. Kentucky fans don't want to see us play, you know, Texas commerce. I mean, they want to see us play good teams, and UCon would be historically probably the best team.

Yeah, we owe Yukon. They've gotten us in the tournament, a couple of things. times. It's more about getting some vengeance, some revenge, too. We have a losing record against Yukon overall, I believe. Yeah, they're one of only a handful of teams. We do this at trivia. By the way, trivia is tomorrow night, 7 o'clock, KS. Barr. They're one of the few teams that has a winning record over. So there's only like four teams in history that have a winning record against us that have played five or more games. We're one and four. It's like Yukon,

maybe Tulane. St. Louis was one of them. No, it's Yukon, St. St. Louis. and I think Duke, although I think we were one down and we beat him last year. So maybe that's tied it up. Maybe that's changed. But I think Yukon, we have the worst cumulative record against than any other team. Yeah, for one and four. I think the only time we beat him was John Wall, right? Yeah, the game I got punched.

That was still a loss. Yeah. The guy that won, there is a video of him, Shannon. It's a great video. He is wearing a tank top and he's got tats and he's got And he's got his woman with him named Linda Grizzly. And the two of them are ready to go. I think, Shannon, with their now $167 million.

The description you just gave is everything I want to be in a lottery winner, especially from Georgetown, Kentucky. He can take a $77 million cash out. Or he can get it paid over the years. Which one you're going with? Well, he's an older guy. I say take the cash. Yeah.

Right? If you were young, if you were young, maybe you, but I think if you take the cash, if you're a little bit older. Yeah, I'd probably wait it out, but if you put it in front of me, I don't know if I'd have that same plan in mind. Yeah, I wouldn't blow it. I'd invest most of it and, you know, just make a little more. Invest in what? Something gets me 5 or 6% on 70 million. That'd keep me an hour out for a while.

So how much would you just, like, you got to blow some of it? Oh, I'm certainly loading up the boys for Vegas trip. right away. Here's what I'm doing. I'm putting 60 million in, actually, I'm putting 55 million in whatever. Very precise. I'm taking 22 million in saying houses will get me a private plane. Buy the Reds.

I think they're worth a little more than $22 million. Not a lot, but a little bit. That's what I'm going to do. And then put the $55 million in. Yeah. You can make a couple more million a year just letting it sit there. I said, how much does Clark's Pumping Shop get? Because they get money for this, don't they?

It's like 10 or 15%, I think, something like that. Oh, they don't get 10 or 15. They get that much? It seems to me like it was a pretty big number. I may be totally wrong. Okay, I'll look it up. Shannon, what the number is, what Clark's Pump and Shop? Because if you're a business.

Yeah. They celebrate the fact they sold a winning ticket. Absolutely. We should raise our ad prices here for Clark's Pumpkin Show. I looked it up during the break, actually. It's Reddit, so, you know, trusted source here. But it says it's usually 5 to 6% depending on the state. I thought it was more than that.

Three and a half million dollars. Yeah. Dude. I mean, that's great for a business. Yeah, for to believe Reddit. Hey, uh, you can be getting a call. Hey, Clark. I know you get your ad budget.

You just went off. Wow. All right. Cool. Okay. I have a present for you three. All right. Yeah, you teased this with this.

Are you ready? Ready. It's Derby Week. Yes. Okay. Favorite in the Derby's a horse, I think, called journalism. It's Derby Week. But, uh, we've talked about on this show.

one of our new sponsors on here is a group called Join Commonwealth. Yes. Okay. They're a syndicate that buys horses. Well, I am invested in one of the horses. Oh, you are? That is in the Oaks. Oh.

And I have bought you all shares. Wow. Of the horse. No kidding. So you three and me, we are part owners of a horse called Simply Joking. Oh, that sounds like a win. winter. Yes.

Simply joking is our horse. Yes. And it's in the Oaks. It's starting in the two hole. It's 10 to 1. It's live, Shannon. It's a live horse. Not always a live horse.

We're winning. Yes. All right. I'm going Friday. Sitting in the owner's suite. You can be in the winner's circle. Not could be. We will be.

We will be. We'll be. and you all are now part of the ownership. Oh, thank you. How about that? You're a horse. You, well, I mean. Do I get the leg?

No, you get like three of the hairs on the tail. I'm not saying you own Shannon, a lot of the horse. You own a tiny, tiny bit of the horse. But enough, when are you going to ever have a horse in the oaks again? Never, ever, ever. Never. All right, so by the way, those listening, y'all can join us. Yeah.

We'll talk more about this tomorrow, but it's joincom. It actually, the shares kind of go on sale today, so you might want to get in. Very cool. If you do it, use the code KSR. There you go. Okay, but you all are in. So I actually have partnered with them on a couple of horses. There's another one on there, too, but this is the big one.

Simply joking. Simply joking. So this is now our Oaks Horse. Yes. So are you feeling the excitement? They're giving us merch. You're going to wear hats? Oh, my goodness.

It's going to say simply joking on it. Are you ready for this? I'm not only ready. I'm so confident. I already know we're going to win. Like I'm already looking to Next Oaks when we have another horse based on winning this one. Like I'm seeing the beginning of a dynasty here. Look out Bob Baffert and Kenny McPeak and Brad Cox.

Have you watched, by the way, the Netflix show? I love it. First of all, it's really good. It's well done. It's called Race for the Crown. Highly recommend it. Even if you don't love horse racing, there's a lot about Kentucky. Oh, yeah.

I mean, it's Kentucky-centric. I'd say next to wrestlers, there's not been a show that shows more Kentucky. Yep. On something. Okay, so has it, have everybody seen it? Has anybody seen four episodes? Have you seen it, Shannon? I'll just talk to you, right.

What about the dude from Miami? Oh, my goodness. I call him a douchebag. Can I say douchebag on the radio? I think he just did twice. But when I think of somebody who's a douchebag, three times. He is him. He is king douchebag. Let's call him D.

Just say D. Okay. You could meet this guy now that you're in the industry. He's one of our fellow owners. Oh, he is? No, no, not of our horse. I just mean in the industry. All right.

You guys that are watching the show, he's in episode. one. You have to watch this guy. Like every stereotype of Miami, like, come on, dude, he's all of them, right? Seems to be one of the most unlikeable people on the planet. No shirt, sport coat, glass, sunglasses. He goes to the derby in a suit with no shirt. Yeah. Just a sport coat. I think we could do that. It's something Mr. Pectacular would do. Did you know you could go to the derby in a suit With no shirt. I know what I'm doing for the Oaks. Shirtless.

Yeah. Shirtless. You got to be completely tan, though. You got to have that tan going on. The tan is redid. He said he tans every day. Every day. Every day.

Hair slip backs, dark, every shot he's got dark sunglasses on. It's amazing. Here's what I didn't know. How much these owners fight with each other. Yeah. Okay. So there's two owners in one episode. One of them is the guy who he kind of looks kind of goofy.

What's his name? John Stewart. No, no, John Stewart's the guy from Lexington, the other guy. Rapoli, Rapoli, Rapoli, or Rapoli or whatever. Rapoli. Rapoli. Rapoli. He, and then there's a guy from Lexington, John Stewart.

Do you know him? I do know John Stewart. How do you know him? He's apparently a billionaire that lives in Lexington. I didn't know that. He owns middle ground out here off Newtown Pike. He also owns the secret speakeasy that I get to go to. Oh, here we go.

Here we go. Oh, he owns the place you go to where all... I can't disclose where it is, but yes. I think you've already disclosed where it is. I hope I haven't. You can't get in. It's got a code. You can't get him without the code.

So he owns that. I thought JP. JP owns another one. That's a second one. Ryan goes to the one. He's definitely said where it is. I won't say it again, but it's the other one. How many speak eases are in this town?

Well, I just know of three, but two of them are private. The one that's open is trifecta over there off. Winchester Road. That's not really a speakeasy. That's just a bar. Speak easy by its definition, you can't just walk in. Well, then there's two secret ones. So you go to the, so do you know this billionaire?

Uh-huh. You know John Stewart. I mean, he doesn't know me, but we've talked a couple times when I've been there. Interesting. Well, he is in there and he's always fighting with the other guy. He's like the common man. He's a billionaire. How's he's he's a common man?

Well, you know, he wears a t-shirt and shorts. It doesn't make you a common man. Son of a plumber? I mean, he's a billionaire. By definition, a billionaire is not a common man. Well, I think he represents us in the fight against the slick back Miami dude. You mean the guy in the speak easy that no one can know where it is? He represents the common man?

In this series he does, yeah. He's Lexington, Kentucky. He wears a t-shirt. Go John. It's all about the t-shirts. Anyway, I do highly recommend. It's really good. It's really good.

And it's filmed well. And they do that thing. They got the cameras on the jockeys. And, you know, they show the crowd. Like you see, I was just looking for people I knew in the background. Me too. In the first few episodes, I saw Andy Barr. Yeah.

I saw Todd Lanter. Oh, I missed him. In the background of one of the shots. You know, did you see anybody else that you knew just standing around? I kept looking with Kenny Rice is in the episode. Kenny Rice is in it, yes. Because Kenny McPeak, obviously, spoiler alert, wins the Oaks and the Derby. And he's from here in Lexington.

Yeah, that's not, I mean, he did win. Yes. He's in it a lot. A lot. Yeah, they're at Keenland. They're at Keenlin. Quite a bit in Lexington. So it's a very good show.

I didn't realize you knew the billionaire, John Stewart. He doesn't have any idea who I am, but we've talked a couple times. You've been in a speak easy. I'm sure you know. So how do you get in if you don't? Well, maybe I can't reveal my sources. You know the code. He just punches in the code watching the guy's house.

You definitely told us where it is on the show one time because I know exactly where it is and how you get in. Did I pay it off the air? No, you said it on the show. Did he say it on the show? You didn't like give the code, but you said how you're able to go in a part of town it's in. But I didn't say it on the air, did I? Yeah. Okay, we'll take that back.

You're going to get kicked out. You didn't give the address. Your rights have been revoked. Oh, okay. A general area. Okay. So I don't know if he's, people are saying to me, John Stewart's not a billionaire. They said he was a billionaire, though, on the show.

I think they call him a billionaire on the show, yeah. Yeah. Well, anyway, point being simply joking is the KSR. I can't wait. Look at that beautiful horse right there. Look at that horse. See, and see, I studied that. You did.

I did. I looked for its main. Oh, yeah. Uh-huh. And I said, that's a main that can win the Oaks. And so, Shannon, you figure out which part of the horse is yours. I'm thinking, eye lash. Maybe the ears?

Do we know anything about the trainer or the jockey? The trainer is a young guy, like Walt Whitman, not Whitman. Dee Whitworth Beckman. DeWorth, Beckman. Not, why did I get Walt Whitman? Great poet. Has nothing to do with his horse. We're going to meet him.

Okay. The trainer at some point. Yeah. Dee Whitbitt Beckman. He's a Kentuckian. He is. Whitworth Beckman. Dee Whitworth Beckman.

Dee Whitworth Beckman. Okay. He's a Kentuckian. All right. And so, yeah. So we have simply... It's exciting. I think it is exciting.

I understand that like I have more of it than you all have, but still, like, we're minute part of it. But it's still exciting to like be part of the thing, right? As soon as the show ends, I'm looking around town for where we're going to put our our speakeasy. Like, this is, this. is the beginning of something special. We're all going to be rich.

So here's the thing I'm also going to say. Many years ago, I've said if we beat Louisville and football, we'd have a party. Yes, you did. And it didn't happen. And now it feels like it's so late. It's not worth doing. If we win the Oaks, we'll have a party. Yes.

All right. If we win the Oaks, we'll have a party at KS Bar, we'll invite the public. Do you think Simply Joking could come? maybe sit out in the park you brought a horse to the bar. A horsewalking the bar a couple months ago. That's true. I don't know if they'll bring him or her. But maybe.

But there you go. If you want to be part of you can go to join commonwealth.com. You can learn more about it. We'll talk about it more tomorrow. But you all have an Oaksworth. And the last time you did something like this for us when you bought that movie stock, whatever was. I will remind you.

I bought one thing for you and it was AMC stock. And it blew up. like 20 times the money. So here we go. Simply joking. Simply joke. We're winning the Oaks. We are. And we're due. Do you remember when you and I picked a Keenland horse years ago? And it died. But that's not what's going to have to finish the race.

That's not what's going to happen with this one. With this one, we are going to, we're back. We're back. We're going to take a break. Oh, first, court physical therapy. If you need physical therapy, go to court.com. It's K-O-R-T.com. No reason to be in pain with our good friends at court. Check them out. It's court.com. There's 70 locations. I drove by Three of them yesterday in Louisville counted them as I went by. Wow.

It's court.com. It's K-O-R-T.com. By the way, if you do the joint Commonwealth thing, use the code KSR and you get like some extra credit, I think. We'll take a break. Be right back. Kentucky Sports Radio. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind.

And in recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, I'm bringing over a decade of my own experience in the mental health field

and conversations with so many incredible guests. I'm talking, Tripp Fontaine, Ryan Clark. Sometimes when we're in the pursuit of the thing, we get so wrapped up in the chase that we don't realize that we are in possession of the thing. And we're still chasing it. And we don't know when we've done enough. Because people scoreboard watch. Life becomes about wins and losses. Steve Burns, Dustin Ross,

and on my podcast The Cliverts show I'm bringing you conversations about all kinds of stuff like being an internet famous referee. We're in the middle of a game this linebacker

this linebacker walks up to me he goes, hey ref my mom wants you to wave at her. What? Time out. Quarterback on office Blue 42. Dude. Hey, Rhett, Mom, I want you to weigh better.

What? Where's she at? Hey, Ms. Parker. Listen to the Cliverts show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano, and our podcast, Point Game is about defying the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what.

He's the smartest player. ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this

series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid. He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too.

Steve Nass would get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He running the court, licking his fingers, why he got the ball. Like, you go through a training camp with that, Isaiah. You figure it out real quick. Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball. So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It is a great song, Shannon.

Oh, I love those songs. I mean, I kind of do love it. If I'm driving along in a car and I hear this, I will go, And girls, they want to have fun. I will. I won't go that far. I do like the song.

You won't, you wouldn't sing that anything. No, no. It is, I like that the music will not be playing when, uh, yeah. But it is. It's, it's,

her falsetto voice. You don't like it? I do love it. She, but when you do, hear an interview with her, she kind of talks that way. She does, what she used to,

if you hear her now. Oh, she doesn't now. I like your version better, though. I do too. Now that we have an isolated, we got a new drop. Oh, girls, they want to have fun. There's it. I thought we were here with Cindy Lopper in the studio.

So you put it in the spot, and it wasn't quite the same. Actually, I thought it was tomorrow. The sale is actually live now for simply joking. And there are people who've bought chairs. The other one on there, so jaded, is the one that I am doing more of. Do we get like an owner's certificate, proof of ownership? I don't know. I don't know what all you get.

You just get happiness because you're going to win. We'll be happy. Because we're going to win the Oaks. No, there's no guarantees. Like, it might not win. Is there a fear that all the KSR bump now, the odds will go down? We'll see. But you know what?

Who cares? I want that 10 to one paycheck. You know, maybe you'll get it. I mean, there's a lot of money in the Oaks. I don't know that we'll change the odds of anything. Mike Rapoli, the guy we were talking about, he's the guy that gives all the money to Petino at St. John's. I didn't know that.

You know, you always hear about this St. John's boost. that gives to their NIL, that's him. That's him. So when they sign recruits, that's him. So he made his money in vitamin water and then body armor with Kobe? Yeah. And now he's paying for St. John's basketball. How about that?

Another unlikable character from the show if he's funding with Petino's basketball. Let's talk for a second about Chador Sanders. Drops the fifth round. Shoulder. Pretty amazing story. I mean, actually. You know, I miss a guy who, Going into last season was projected to be number one,

but even going into last week, people thought was going in the first round. Sure. Doesn't go in the first round, doesn't go in the first round, doesn't go in third round, drops the fifth round. Ends up getting picked by the Browns who had already picked a quarterback earlier.

So they had already picked a guy above him in the thing. An amazing precipitous drop. Here's my take, Drew, you tell me yours. First of all, if you didn't think he was, if you bring in Shador Sanders, I felt like teams probably thought, have to start him. Right?

There's going to be, and if you're going to pick a first round pick, you're going to start them soon, right? Teams clearly did not believe he was a first round, a starter. Then I think what happened is once he's not that, being Dion's kid works against him at that point. Because there's a sense of,

okay, if he's not going to start, if he's not going to be our primary guy, then he's a distraction, right? Because all the questions at practice are going to be about him. Dion might do press conferences where he says, why is my son not playing? And all of a sudden it's a distraction. It's almost like the Tim Tebow effect.

Tim Tebow could have been a quarterback in the NFL longer than he was as a backup. But I think people thought, I don't want that guy as a backup because of all the distraction that comes with him being a backup. So I think when you get to the second and third round, teams are drafting people to be backups and they're like, do we want to deal with the Shadura-Sander stuff? And he keeps dropping and dropping and dropping. There's also only six or seven teams in the last. league that need a quarterback. So you talk about 32 teams, but for a lot of these teams,

they're not drafting a quarterback. So if those six or seven teams don't want you, you fall more and more and more and ends up getting picked in the fifth round. Has to be a brutal experience for him. What do you think? Yeah, I mean, I kind of felt bad for him at the same time with his arrogance, whatever, like the way you decorated thinking you're going to be your first I mean, his draft setup probably costs more than his first contract. But I've seen a lot of people saying, like, the league blackballed him. There's only so many teams that need a quarterback. Like, there's only so many teams that could have taken him.

And maybe you argue the Giants should take him over a Jackson Dart. But between the Giants and the Steelers, there weren't many that were even going to consider him anyway, maybe the Saints. So I think there's been a big overreaction to teams passing on him. I know people are making all kinds of accusations about the league not wanting him. I think it all comes down to the Steelers didn't want him and the Giants didn't want him. and the Giants didn't want him, and it's come out that his Giants interview was pretty terrible.

He said in the Giants interview, they asked him, what would you do if you did this? And he was like, well, if you want me to do that, maybe this isn't a place for me. Well, dude, if there's only six or seven options and you turn half of them off, that's not a good side. There's only a handful of teams needed a quarterback. Yeah.

The Titans got warred right away. No one's arguing that. So it really came down to him, I guess, just not making it a good enough case for himself with just two or three teams. And what about Mel Kiper? I like Mel Kiper. Listen, I love Mel Kuiper.

Personally, Mel Kuiper's been very nice to me. But his rant on day three, which I think most people have seen them. Oh, yeah. That was a little out of control. It was. I can't remember who it was. Maybe on your show yesterday, somebody described it to me. Like you guys said, there weren't only a handful of teams that needed a quarterback,

and this quarterback pool was not very strong. Like he said, Cam Ward may have been the fourth best quarterback in last year's draft. So when you got that situation, he can understand why he slid so far because he wasn't that good and how many teams needed a quarterback. Part of why we all cared is he's Dion Sanders kid. That's it. But I think what happened, Shannon, is while that helped him in college, once he started dropping, beyond being Dion's kid, then started to hurt him.

Of course, he did. Because at that point, then it's like, are we bringing this massive distraction into our lives? Do you want this drama? Do you want to have to get a phone call from Dion saying, why is my kid not playing? That stuff you deal with in Little League, not in the professional level. And the media, some of the media looks ridiculous because it's clear. It's clear. I'm not saying Kuiper, maybe, but I doubt it. But some of the other people, it's clear. Dion told them to put him high in the mock drafts.

They did. Because no one had him in the fifth round. Almost no one didn't have him in the first round. Correct. And for him to drop to the fifth round says that, I'll tell you what it reminded me of. It reminded me of the way collective think happens in politics where we all just believe one thing and then all of a sudden it looks like the other thing. Like when Hillary was ahead in all the polls and we just, including me, we were all convinced she's going to win. And then all of a sudden it was like, wait a minute, maybe this is all wrong.

That's kind of what this was. The whole world just believed he was going to be a first round picket. It looks like the NFL was like, where did y'all get that? That's not what it is. And like I was saying, it only comes down to a few organizations that are even going to take him anyway. And the end of the day, those people have jobs on the line to win football games. And if their opinion is he's not going to help us,

going to be a distraction, that's the story. All the other stuff is just noise about how, you know, this or that, the whole league didn't want him. It came down to just a few teams trying to win games, didn't see him as a fit. Did you feel sorry for him quickly? Yes. I did when it got down to five. Me too and three.

he didn't really care. But if I've got a little... I will say this. I actually think he handled it after it about as good as you could. He did. He clearly made mistakes along the way. But when he sort of laughed but cheered at the end, that's the best you could do in that standpoint. So I do think he did that pretty well. We'll be right back.

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. Do you think this beat gets you in the rock and roll hall of fame on its own? It kind of does because it's taking a life of its own.

True. Let's see. What are the biggest songs in history at sporting events? Okay? So, good question. 772-7745-254. This is on the list now, right? This might be top five.

It's got to be. And just the do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. That's it. Like, you, who cares about the words? Yeah. It's literally that riff, Shannon. is that's like one of the most famous riffs in music, isn't it? Yep, especially for sporting events.

You said other ones maybe like, we will rock you from Queen. Okay, so let's go through it. We will rock you. Yeah. We are the champions. What else? What are the like, they used to call them jock jams, but what are the arena?

You go to an arena, you're hearing this. Metallica's got a couple. What are they, Shannon? Sure, there's a, I don't know. I mean, they're saying, man, but I don't know. Yeah, I don't know that they play that. every reading. I know that M&M song they play a lot.

You know, lose yourself. Lose yourself. Jump. Jump. Yeah. Rock and roll part two. Don't to dun, do,

don't do, no, that's a huge one. Okay, that might be number one. Yeah, it's true. Hey. The Mr.

Brightside is now one. Is it really? Yo, for sure. Yeah. What else? I know we're missing them. You all ready for this? Bomb,

bomb, I don't know if they played as much now, but they used to always play it. You've got to move this and move that. Yeah. Well, some of those, they don't play as much as anymore than they used to. Back in black, ACDC, Welcome to the Jungle. I think this one. I think rock and roll part two might be number one.

I think it might be number one. And I think this one is becoming right there with it. What about Moni, Moni and Dumas Walker? Well, you had games, Moni, Moni and Dumas Walker. That's a good one. What is that? I don't even know. No, what is it? No, what is it? Yeah, what is that song?

I can hear it, but I can't think of the name of it. What's the name of that song? Which one's Zombie Nation? I just know the title. Is that it? No, I don't think so. Okay, well, somebody can let it. Good segment. Sweet Caroline. Final countdown. The fine. That's a good one.

That's a good one. Well, there's, all right. Sweet Caroline was going, he said. Do you say Sweet's Caroline? Drew did, yeah. Okay, 772, 774-5254. One person writes, Matt, my brother is one of those guys that hangs around the backside at Churchill Downs and gets scoop. He says the horse everyone's talking about for the Oaks is simply joking, a live underdog.

Three starts, has two first and a second. That's what everybody's talking about. Yes. It's going to be the favorite by the time. that goes off. Do you think they're talking about it because we got involved? They were already talking about it. They were talking about it before and now we're involved. One person writes Matt, Sequin Barclay played golf with Donald Trump yesterday and got a lot of

criticism today and he told people to shut up. If Donald Trump asked you to play golf, would you play? Ooh. You'd almost have to for the experience. First of all, okay, just hang. Everybody just calm down. Let me just go through the thought process. First of all, we've already been to the White House with Trump as president. Yes.

So I would definitely go to the White House. Yeah. If I was an eagle and they went, right? I would not make an appearance at a political event with Donald Trump. Understood. Okay, so there's the two extremes. Definitely would go to the White House because for me, that's about the office, not the person. right? Definitely would not make a political appearance because that's about the person, not the office.

What is playing golf with the president? Is it more about the office or the person? So would I play golf with Obama? Yes. Would I play golf with Trump? Probably yes for the story. For the experience. It would be for the experience. You could say who. Would I want to watch? You guys play the same way. I read his golf book.

Playing with you is essentially the same thing. We're on the green. Pick it up. Never lost a ball. What a joke. Would I then, though, have a walk off a plane like Seekwan did? Now that, I don't know. That's tougher.

That's tougher. Yeah. But that's just me. Now, it's kind of like there's, There's a Democrat, Pete Buttigieg, who went on a Republican podcast. Did you see that? He went on like Andrew Schultz. Okay.

And he's getting a lot of flack from the left for doing it. And I think those people need to shut up. You have to go reach people where they are. Yeah. Right? So I think he should do that. Like Joe Rogan and Theo Vaughn, I think if Democrats can go on there, they should.

Because you want to talk to people that don't listen to you every day. here a different perspective. Now, let me just guess with you all. I think you would do all of it. Even though you don't like Trump, I think you'd do all of it because that's just who you are. I think you're right. I think I would. Is there anything you wouldn't do?

If he asked you, if he was doing a political rally here in Lexington with Daniel Cameron, and he said, Ryan Lemon, you're my favorite radio host. Would you come introduce me? I don't know if I'd do that. I would go to the rally, maybe, but I don't know if I would stand up there and introduce it. Go to the rally? But you wouldn't stand up there? No, I don't know if I'd want to introduce it.

That means I'm supporting that. So you wouldn't do that. But you would definitely play golf. Yes. What if he wanted to have you over for dinner? Yes. So really anything except like stand up at a rally. Do, yeah, some kind of, like you said, kind of.

It's an interesting question for everyone listening. What would you do if a president you didn't like wanted you to do it? Right. So if you're a Trump supporter, if Joe Biden said come play golf with me, would you want to do it? Now, let me guess, Drew. I'm going to guess you. I think you'd do pretty much anything. I don't know if you'd introduce him at a rally, but I think you'd do pretty much everything else.

Well, mine's pretty easy. I have no interest in going to any political rally, but I would play golf with just about anyone. Or go to dinner with just about a year. I actually think you would introduce him at the rally. If I had a chance to introduce any president, I don't care if you're a Republican, Democrat. You definitely would do. Just because you're the president. So yeah, I would definitely do it.

So I don't think Seekwon Barclay should get any flag. I agree. If he wants to do it, then do it. Right? Like, I don't think that's... It's the president of the United States Invite you to go play around to golf. You do it.

Yeah. And I read the whole book about Trump golfing. I just want to see it for myself. It's truly unbelievable the stories about him playing golf. First of all, I don't want you to compare my cheating. A lot of similarities. Pick it up. On the green.

Pick it up. That's good. He'll hit one in the woods and then find it in the fair way. I would not claim to be the club champion 17 years in a row. You know I wouldn't do that. He's actually called in his score when he couldn't play and just said, well, I would have shot a 74. That is Shannon one of the most amazing ones ever. He missed the final round of the club championship, called the guy and said, I would have shot a 74, make me the chance.

But it's his club, so who's going to say no? That's true. I would definitely go off. It was Matt Jones Club. You could do the same thing. I wouldn't do that. All right, did you watch the NBA games? Did you see Carl Anthony Towns list? I didn't see what happened last night. I absolutely saw it. Oh, my goodness. Carl Anthony Towns hit two of the craziest shots I've ever seen. A little baseline shot that I don't know how it went in. And then the three, I can't believe he had the guts to take that three, both nothing but net. The three, I guess there's about five seconds left. He steps back from 30 feet with two hands in his face.

Down two with, what, 40 seconds to go? That's one of the biggest shots you'll see in the playoffs. I mean, that was incredible. And coming from Carl, I just loved it even more. It was awesome. You got to see it. I haven't seen it yet. I mean, it was deep.

The fact that Carl Towns didn't shoot threes here, Carl Towns says he might be the best big man, three-point shooter ever. it's either him or dark he's won a three-point contest but yeah and then cow wouldn't let him shoot no i mean did he ever shaking his head how did i mean how do that i mean you know the guy can shoot you're in practice with him every day kyle would not let him shoot he won the three point contest did he even attempt one it could be one eight eight i went looked it all up the moment car hit that three i just went down a wormhole there's a time about two years ago

Cal tweeted, who's this guy? And Carl replied, the guy you only let take eight threes in college. There's an interview at Devin Booker that's like, well, Carl wasn't allowed to shoot those at Kentucky. I mean, there's like a lot of stuff since that year where they've talked about it. So that was a big, that's a big moment for him because Carl's kind of been known as a guy who like down the stretch, you couldn't really count on. And then he did it. So that was a big moment for him. Yeah, for the Knicks, you know, the highest profile team in the NBA. Kind of his hometown team, first playoffs with him. He's brought the excitement back. The guy didn't just magically develop a three-point.

shot. No, he didn't. It's crazy. He was certainly able. Sure he was. And then the Denver game, ever seen a closer game winning shot than that? The dunk? The dunk. Yeah, that was crazy. We had the dunk when Arkansas beat us. It's the only time I'd ever seen it. And now I saw the dunk though. But on that one, it was clear he made it. Yeah. Shannon, you couldn't really tell on this one. Like, I mean, I think they had to count it, but it wasn't, I mean, I don't know that it could be any closer. ball was like below the rim but his hand was still on it his fingertips as he was dunking it I don't know if I've ever seen an ending quite like that ever I don't either I don't think either team knew whether they had won I wouldn't even clear on the rule I guess it has to be all the way

through the rim and his hand not on it but they show the split second like the lights on the backboard are barely lighting up like it was so precise that in a split second you see the lights I'm not sure it could have been closer I don't think there's would be a for it to be human. Did they get it right? I think so. It'd be hard to take it away. I'm going to say. I don't know if you take that away. They called it good before the challenge.

Now, what about in that next game, the Pistons had a three at the buzzer, right at the buzzer. Josh Hart kind of ran into the guy's shooting. They did not call a foul. When the game was over, the NBA put out a report that said we should have called a foul. If you're Detroit, Shannon, do you want that report or not? Because if they call it, Detroit wins, because he gets three free throws and he only needed to make two.

Doesn't change the result of the game. Everybody makes mistakes, but I think it would make me feel a little bit better that they're at least acknowledging they screwed that game up. Doesn't change the result. Would you, do you want the report that says we messed up? Do you want the apology? I think I lean a little Shannon's way. I think it would make me feel a little.

little better losing a heartbreaker like that, knowing that the officials say, yeah, man, we miss that one. You know, we miss some sometimes. We miss that one. I probably wouldn't want to hear it. It's the playoffs now down 3-1. I think that would just make me even more angry. I mean, that probably swings the series.

It goes from 2-2 to 3-1. I don't think I'd want to hear it. Not reviewable, I guess. They review everything in basketball except a foul, which is odd. And he kind of got a clubber. He did kind of get, but he did lean into him a little bit. it. But yeah, that's tough. I mean, it's tough if the NBA comes and says we should have called it and then you didn't. Because you still lost.

It goes back to we want the officials sometimes to be accountable for their decisions, for their calls. This would have been a time you'd want to talk to them after a game. Yeah. I didn't watch the two night games last night, but the Lakers Wolves was awesome too. Anthony Edwards and LeBron were going at it. That one came down to the final seconds. No, they were all great. All right, tell me about Stockton Mortgage. Stockton Mortgage, you know, I call them the five-star, mortgage company of the real estate world. You know, John Stockton, five-star point guard,

And in recognition of mental health awareness month, I'm bringing over a decade of my own experience in the mental health field and conversations with so many incredible guests. I'm talking, Tripp Fontaine, Ryan Clark. Sometimes when we're in the pursuit of the thing, we get so wrapped up in the chase that we don't realize that we are in possession of the thing.

and we're still chasing it and we don't know when we've done enough because people scoreboard watch. Life becomes about wins and losses. Steve Burns, Dustin Ross, because you find it important to be a good person while you hear on earth? Are you a good person because you're afraid?

Because that's two different intentions, bro. Absolutely. And that's two different levels of trust. I want you to just really be a good person. Join me, Kear Gaines, is we have real conversations about healing, growth, fatherhood, pressure, and purpose on my new podcast.

We're in the middle of a game. This linebacker, this linebacker walks up to me. He goes, hey, ref, my mom wants you to wave at her. What? Time out. Quarterback on office blue with 42. A rep, mom, I'm a one. want you to wave at her.

What? Hey, Miss Parker. Listen to the Cliverts show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano, and our podcast Point Game is about defining the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed.

And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows without Luca and Austin. Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup,

he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid. He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nash would get that thing. That man, hell get the flying.

He run up the court, licking his fingers, why he got the ball like, after you go through a training camp with that Isaiah, you figure it out real quick. Get your ass up and down the court and you're going to get the ball. So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Final entry to the Rock Row High Al Fame, Sound Garden. I like Sound Garden. You feel like they're big enough for this, Shinn? Top three favorite band of all time for me.

I mean, I had all their albums, grew up listening to them. I guess if you're talking about alternative, you mean, you're talking about alternative. music, would they be next to Nirvana and Pearl Jam the third biggest? Probably so. Yeah. Alice and Chains would be up there too. Yeah. But yeah, Soundgarden probably in the top three.

Probably right there with them, right? So that would make some sense that they would be in there. I mean, Chris Cornell had a good solo career too after Soundgarten. So, yeah, they definitely belong. Some songs played in basketball arenas. Welcome to the Jungle. I said that one. Oh, you did?

Uh-huh. Oh, well, never mind. I thought that was a really good one. And it was a really good one because you said it. Yeah, thank you. Crazy Train. Yeah, that's a good one. Ozzy Osbourne.

I think that's a good one. That's a good one. Of course. ACDC. Thunderstruck's a really good one. These are songs like from the 70s, man. They still play them in the arena today. It's interesting.

There's not as many from recent years that you think that's just because like old people don't. don't know it and they're the ones big into music probably maybe i feel like every time i see a game they're playing they not like us a lot i was going to say kendrick mar has a couple humble gets played a lot these days in arenas yeah kendrick clamor she can talk about one song just making a person like where i mean i know people knew him before but like even you know he's on the today show now like one song one disc track it's true and then everybody everybody knows him now tell me uh well no don't tell me. Let's talk about the game tonight. We've got to make draft Kings. You go to draft

kings.com or the DK app, bet five get $200. Remember, we are coming up for playoffs. Also, DK Horse is ready if you want to bet on the derby. As a matter of fact, the DK Horse, the number one app. You bet $5, listen to this. You bet $5 or more on a horse to win the derby. And even if your horse loses, you have a shot at a million. Wow, really? So a $5 derby win bet on DK Sports app automatically registers you to try to win a million dollars. Isn't that crazy? That is crazy.

So LGBT restrictions apply. Go bet $5, use the code KSR horse. Okay. Easy to remember. KSR horse on the DK app bet $5 on the derby. Any horse, you register to win a million dollars. And if you have a gambling problem, call one-airgambler. It is 21 plus and $1.00.

certain states to open owner access an advanced deposit wager in account and resident the state where DK.R is available. Eligible Restings apply. First eligible bet only must win to share a million dollars. Cash. Oh, so you got to win it. Sorry. You have to win the race.

You have to win the race. Okay. So there you go. Wait a minute. Is it you get a share? Get a share, yeah, of the million dollar pool. So if you win, you get the money you got and the share of the million dollars. It's my understanding.

Keep going on that disclaimer. I might tell you. The bottom. Must win to share a million dollars. Cash reward via click to claim expire in 30 days. It ends May 3rd. See terms at dKhorse.com bet slash offers slash detail. So that's actually even better.

If you pick the horse to win, you'll not only get the bet. You'll get the share of a million dollars. I like it. I did that with the little similar, but the king of the NBA and the king of the end zone or if you bet a touchdown person and that person scores, you all get a share of the... So if you bet kind of a long shot and it wins, not only would you get the long shot money, you'd also get the share of the million dollars. That's pretty good.

The bills picked two guys from Kentucky. Yes. And they have Ray Davis. So is the state of Kentucky now bills fans? I think we are. I think we have a good argument for it. Dionne Walker, Maxwell Harrison, and Ray Davis. And they're all probably going to make the roster.

So a 53-man NFL roster, three guys are going to be from Kentucky. Yeah, I've been casually rooting for the bills in the playoffs lately because my team is nowhere near the playoffs, and this just adds to it. It's hard to not like Bill's Mafia, Josh Allen. They've been getting so close. Now you give me three cats over there,

and I'll definitely be rooting for the bills while my team's at home on the couch. Do you think Dion's going to work? I hope he does, man. He's got an opportunity here. You know, when he got drafted, they were saying, you know, they need, you know,

alignment with a be a rusher, and if he got himself in shape, he could be that guy. Why wouldn't you, I mean, like, don't you feel like you should? I've always had people tell me that he's a nice kid. Yeah.

Like he didn't, work the hardest, but that he was a nice kid. So you would think, like, don't do it, Big fella. Like, you're 6'5, 340. Like, this is your calling, you know? Athletically, he's a freak. I have concerns that if he didn't show up to the combine, his most important interviews in shape. I wonder how I'll do him Buffalo, but you're a pro. They'll be quick to throw you aside if you're not working hard up there. So I hope he's taking it very seriously. I hope he does well. And I think it's cool. I mean, I'm a Bears fan, but I think it'll be awesome to have. these three Kentucky guys on the same team and all three guys who may contribute.

That's what I said. All three guys got a chance to play. Ray Davidson ended up playing a lot as the season went on. Yeah, they really like him up there because of his story and he played so well stepping in as a rookie when their starter was hurt. And Maxwell Harrison was like the feel good story of the draft. He was. He was. We talked about him. Mario made him a video. It's like our third biggest video of all time. That's crazy. Because all the Bills fans got into it. Yeah. And did it. All right. So tomorrow, we will be at KS Bar tomorrow, Wednesday

and Thursday, so come see us at any point during that time. On Friday, we will be in Louisville somewhere, I'm not exactly sure, and then doing the Oaks thing. Since I mentioned it, 2% of the horse has been sold. So there are going to be a case.

So I hope you all feel like you're part of the sport of a kid. Thank you. You're welcome. We're going to have a good time. Thank you all very much for listening. We'll see you tomorrow. KS.
