By the way, you all were way off on the amount of money they get.

Yeah, I saw that. Yeah, you guys were like $3.5 million, $1.5,000. It was $37,000. those. I thought they got a really high percentage. That is not a high percentage. I think that's like 1% or something like that. But nevertheless, or no, it's like 0.1%. But it's still nice. The AVision Auto Glass text machine is

772-774-25-254 in this edition sponsored by the TJ's middle office. If you call TJL make them pay, first question today, why are you wearing a suit? Well, you know, after my photo in Tops and Lex for a Zecu train was ridiculed. A little Mario decides he's going to do a photo shoot today with me and my actual suit. So he's going to, Shannon, I think, take photos of Ryan and compare them to the Photoshop. Yes. Yeah. And I don't want any filters, any nonsense. Just a straight picture. Just a straight picture. You've got the same tie on. Same suit. Ready to go. Did you, did you moisturize?

Well, I shaved. I got a haircut yesterday and shaved, so I'm ready for the photo shoot. We'll see. We'll compare them and see how it is. I think, you know, you look, you look, you look, dressed up, you're not going to look like you look in that picture because you have your normal weight, you don't have whatever that was. You know, the more I look at the photo, I think there may have been a little touch-up, maybe just a little touch-up. I like how in the moment, though, you insisted there was not. Well, you guys were saying that's not my suit.

That's not my head on my body. I don't know that it was your body. I think it was something happened, Drew. I don't know what it was. It looked like they kind of shrunk the body and made the head bigger. Yeah, your body was straight. The thing wasn't even the suit for me. I'm looking at it again.

It's your legs are not that long. The proportions of your body do not match. They definitely stretched you out. We'll know soon tomorrow. Are you? Are you? Yes. Okay.

Yeah. Are you? Oh, yeah. She's little. But she's got heels on, which kind of makes her pretty close to my height. Looks like you have hills on, too. Well, you're going to recreate that. Recreate the photo shoot.

859-280-2287. We did trivia here last night. Ryan Lemon's team, Shannon. I thought you were getting right now Don't you wait until I say it before you clap Ryan Lemon's team Shannon came in second place and qualified for the finals. All right, not bad

He did actually would have done even better except you bomb the final question of the top 10 highest grossing live action comedy movies of all time you didn't do great on that one. We only got three of the 10 or we may have won the whole thing last night

Shannon would you know think about they're all made from 1990 to 2015, what comedy movies, live actions, or not cartoons, have made the most money. You got a guess? And four of them produced sequels. I just don't know if he'd be called a comedy or not, but I mean, I would see it like Forrest Gump as a comedy.

Forrest Gump is not a comedy. It's not a comedy. It's very serious. What would you, do you have a guess? The Hangover. Hangover is one of them. Well done. Wedding Crashers.

Got the hangover. Wedding Crashers is one of them as well. So Shannon Ardy has two. He's only one short to what. you got last time the third one we got those two and we got home alone i think that was the home alone is number one of all time yeah uh and then there was a bunch of others like water boy uh meet the fuckers we didn't get that um american pie were they in there they were huge was not in it that's actually kind of surprising jim carry me was liar liar liar yes so they elf

which you try they wouldn't listen to you i tried to tell them elf but my group didn't go with that will feral movie we was so you but nevertheless you qualified and you're in the finals are you are you proud I'm very proud. We did a parade last night on Main Street, signed some autographs, took some pictures. I tell you wanted for us, though, you're doing a new little twist last night where you could circle one question in each round that would double your points. We nailed that each round. You knew which one to circle? Oh, yeah, yeah. The president question, Trent knew all the president, so that was an easy one. Yeah.

The question about the schools that are in the state capitals. Yeah, we did it. We did a question, Shannon. What public colleges and the big four are located in their states, capital. And there were actually 11 of them. And so you got all those? We got nine of them. That's good. Yeah.

Well done. So we circled that one. So we got double points for those. So I like your new twist. He's excited. I'm glad you liked the tips. Well, the next time we're doing it is Tuesday, May 13th. We have two more qualifiers before the finals in June.

So Tuesday, May 13th is the next. I guess I'm going to have to bring my team and get in this. You better. It was a great crowd here last night. It was a great crowd here. It was a good crowd. Very energized and ready to go. I think I was a very gracious.

winner. I congratulate everybody on their participation. No, you stood up and you yelled and you screamed. You were gracious in the sense that Kenny McPeak was gracious yesterday. We do need to talk about this video because I thought the video with Kenny McPeak is interesting. So Pat Kelsey and Kenny McPeek get a picture together. And Kenny is a Kentucky fan. Well, I grew up here in Lexington. He might even be listening to this show right now. listens to this show quite a bit. And Pat Kelsey's standing next to him. I think he initially thought Pat was one of the derby jockeys.

Yeah. Let's get a photo, man. He was like, hey, you're on the six horse, right? But he did not. Who is the woman? Is that Kenny's wife? Okay, so that's Kenny's wife. And she's a Louisville fan, allegedly.

That's why she went L's up. Okay, so they stand there. They're about to take the picture. Pat throws the L's up. And then Kenny throws the L's down, and then his wife hits his hand and says, stop that. So his wife is a Louisville fan? Is that correct? I'm not aware.

I saw that in a tweet of someone that took the picture, so I'm going to trust the tweet. So let me ask this question. I thought legendary behavior. I did too. I tweeted it out last night. Louisville fans get very angry rather than just saying, hey, it's a playful thing. Clearly, they like each other. They wouldn't even take the picture, right?

but there were people who thought that was not good behavior. What did you think of throwing the L's down next to the coach? I mean, this isn't just throwing the L's down. It is you are standing next to Pat Kels. Playful banter on a rivalry like that, I'm all for it. And even if you're standing right by the coach, if the coach is giving L's up, I'm giving an L's down right beside him. Okay, so that was going to be my next question.

You would do that. Absolutely. If we run into Pat Kelsey, well, you're not going to be at the track. But if you were on Friday, and you ran into Pat Kelsey, and he was like, hey, there's Ryan Lemon KSR. You're throwing L's down? If we get a picture taken like that and he's doing L's up, I'm definitely doing L's down. Okay. Because I can look him right in the eye.

He's one of the few coaches I can look right square in the eye. All right, what about you? Oh, absolutely. I think if you're a true Kentucky fan, you have to do that. That's why we saw Kenny White his face. Right on Ryan said he's doing the L's. It's not like he just walked up to him and started flashing it, which I might do anyway. But if you're next to me and you're putting it up, I got to put it down.

I agree. Shannon, what do you think? Yeah, I'm not, if I see him out in public, I'm not going to run up in his face, like some of Knox's fan. He goes down. I'm not going to do that. But if he's doing the L's up right next to me, then you can do the L's down. That's really, it's interesting because I think I don't know that I would, I would do that standing next to him. Like, I don't, I, I, I, but he's doing the L's up, though.

You would. You think I would. You're posing for a picture. He's doing L's up. It's kind of playful. Yeah, good nature. playful fun, I think, in that point. Because it's playful. Shannon's right. I think you'd look like a crazy

person if you just ran up to him screaming and doing it. We're about to go to the Oaks. This happens to me almost every year at the Oaks or Derby I go. Some Louisville fan comes up and just like gets in my face and goes, goong, Cards! Cards! Eat it, Matt, Gones, Cards, Elda! And I'm like, will you shut up? And so I don't want to be that guy.

But you're saying if it's playful, it's not that. So what if a Louisville fan can be? Matt, I'm a Louisville fan. I can't get your picture taken with you. And in the picture, they do ELZ up. I would then do ELS down, yeah. So if it was a Louisville fan, but is it any different because it's the coach? No.

It's even better. Yeah. Okay. He's doing it. He seems to be a good-natured guy that he's okay with it. I mean, there's a decent chance we'll see Pat Kelsey. If we take a picture, you're giving me permission to throw ELs there. Yes, absolutely.

I think part of it, though, is him doing ELs up first. Okay. That's true. Like, you're not being the jerk. All right. So if the picture floats around of me doing L's down with Pat Kelsey and I start getting blasted, I'm expecting backup from you all. We got your back.

Now, you'll get blasted from the Louisville fans, but all the Kentucky fans will be like, yes, sir, that's a boy. One of my favorite derby memories is you and I were leaving Derby, and someone did L's up, and Perrin was like, put your hand down. You look stupid. Put your L's down. Well, but that was a little bit. Like, they were up in my eyes.

The guy was over the top. But Perrin, I remember the guy's face. He was, like, shocked that Perrin was telling him to put his hand down. My mom always gets nervous when I go to Oaks or Derby, because it is the most aggressive. It's the most aggressive that Louisville fans will get with me. Is it Oaks or Derby? I think it's a couple things. One, you're in their city.

There's a mass of them, right? And there's like that mass mob mentality. And then, you know, usually by the end of the day, a lot of them are drunk. And so that combination, if you were to say, how many negative encounters have you had with Louisville fans. I would say half of all the negative encounters I've had have been at Oaks or Derby because that's just, that's like where they are at their, you know, Oaksie derbyist. I feel like I need to show up just to be your bodyguard, you know. We don't have Perrin this year. So that means Mario.

You know, Drew, Drew's kind of like a hummingbird as well. Okay, so we're going to need pushups last night. We're going to need you. I've got, I've got tall and hubby. They're not exactly. They're not exactly bodyguards. So, Mario, this will fall upon you to be the person that keeps me from getting knocked out at Oakser Derby. But as owners of simply joking, do we not have security detail around us at all time? And speaking of that for a second. We'll talk more about this later, but simply joking, at least 300 people have used the KSR code at joincom.

That's awesome. And I'm sure they think other people have that just forgot to put in the code. Oh, yes. But I've been asked to pass on a message. Okay. Shannon. Yeah. If you sign up to get shares of Simply Joking, that's good.

That's very good. That's what we want. We got a hat. Yeah. Love a good hat. I'm wearing that hat Friday. Me too. You can get the hat on the site.

I was giving hats away. Yes, you were. To people who, to people who've been loyal customers. If you were here, I gave a simply joking hat. But I have a message I'm asked to pass on. It is awesome that you buy Shannon a share or two. Yeah. That's great.

Do not call Churchill Downs and say you're an owner and ask for tickets. Oh, man. Apparently that has happened. I got an email last night saying, do not do it. There are people who've called and said, hey, can I get tickets to the Oaks? I'm an owner. Yeah, you can buy your tickets. Well, you're not going to get them for free.

You can't get owners tickets, though. Like you can go. You can do that now. That's true. But don't do that. Because while you are, it's like, you know, there's a lot of us. There's 300 of us that are just in the KSR group. You can't call and demand owner's tickets.

Yeah, the email said, do not call Churchill Downs front office and ask for tickets as an owner. Here's the link to ticket master. That's the special way you can get them. But that means, Drew, someone has done it, and I would actually like to have heard that phone call. I noticed on the website, too, It has all the perks you get for being an owner,

but it does say them bold does not come with tickets to Oaks or Derby. You know, when they do the other races, sometimes you might be able to do it. Yeah. But not. Not the Oaks of the Derby. The site says there will be opportunities. There'll be opportunities.

Maybe just not. Look at it like the Green Bay Packers. Not everyone that owns part of the Packers gets to sit on the sideline during the game. If you buy stock and Apple, you don't get a free iPhone. Right? Like you do. So do we own this horse for like, till the end? of its life? Yes, until whenever. Like you, you, like when they sell the rights and all that,

the breeding, like, yes, forever. Wow. Okay. I was just thinking short term, you know. No, no, this is, this is a riddle. This is not a riddle. You have invested in this Tesla. Wow. So, you know, 859-2802287. Text machine is 772-74525. What we found in about a new player, Kentucky is looking at. We'll talk about that and more. We are here at KS Bar for Wingsday it's Kentucky Sports Radio. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind. Highlights are trending, opinions are flying,

Welcome to my new podcast, Learn the Hardway with me, your host, and your favorite therapist, Kier Games. 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 in. important to be a good person while you hear on earth? Are you a good person because you're free?

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, Learn the Hardway. Open your free iHeartRadio app. Search Learn the Hardway and listen now.

What's up, guys? This is Clever Taylor the Fourth. And on my podcast, The Cliver 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 walks up to me, he goes, hey, ref, my mom wants you to wave at her.

What? Time out. Quarterback on office blue of 42. Hey, rep, my mama want you to wave at her. What? Hey, Miss Parker. Listen to the Clifford 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 to 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 Nash would get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He running up the court licking his fingers while 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. Be it for a month. Welcome back, Tuggy Sports Radio. 859-2-8027. It's an Ask Anything Wednesday as well.

I forgot to say that. So go ahead. Open up the lines. 859-2-8027. You can ask anything. We'd be glad to answer it. This is a good day to get your question. The last couple times that we've done, or the last time we did this, a lot of the questions were like, Matt, what's Mark Pope going to do at the point?

Guard, you can ask any question. You can, for instance, ask, well, I'm not going to tell you what to ask. But Mark Pope, by the way, is going on John Rothstein's podcast live at 3 o'clock. He will be on there. Rossstein says to talk about St. John's, Yukon, or no, I guess, no, sorry about that. He's interviewing Mark Pope, and then I guess Rossstein is talking about St. John's and Yukon. I don't know why he would talk St. John's and Yukon with Mark Pope, but that'll be at 3 o'clock. looks like on Twitter is the link. So Mark doing an interview. Hopefully that means we can get him in here next week or the week after.

That's the goal. That's what I was going to say. Does that mean he's starting to do interviews? It means his roster is. I don't think his roster's done. It came out yesterday that they have talked to and maybe a visit with, all right. These names this year are going to be tough for me. Okay.

Like, we made fun of him for Kobe Brea being Bobby Abrae. But these names this year are going to be a little tougher. divine Agabwaka No Ugo Chukahu That yeah That was way off

Ugo Chukawu That's in my Googling this morning That's as close as I could get Divine Hugo Chukahu He plays at Miami Average 5.5 points a game 190 pound shooting guard

Apparently is an outside shooter This probably I read this Drew to be You're replacing a Travis Perry with a Travis Perry, but maybe a little more athleticism. Do you think that's the theory? Yeah, to fill that role, I don't know what is. You're basically recruiting your 13th man.

I don't know what Devons, you know, what he expects, because he started 15 or 16 games of Miami to go from starting a lot from Miami and then going to UK's 13th Maine. They were terrible. Really bad. Yeah. Really, that a lot of people quit. But, yeah, I would assume that's just we got to get another ball handler shooter in here with Perry stepping away.

But it's already a crowded back. backcourt. So I don't know what Ugo Chukwu's expectations are, but I would say he should consider limited playing time if he is coming to Kentucky. Yeah, he's a backup plan. I mean, he's trying to fulfill every need, every spot in the roster. And if they need another backup guy to be a backup shooter for the next couple of years, it may be this guy. I mean, it looks like they are going to fill that. Yeah, I just got the text message. It said, uh, still not ready to do anything locally. He's, he's still recruiting. So this was, I guess that means, there you go. Yeah, there you go. Uh,

So, you know, this one seems fine to me. I don't know. I'll admit, I don't know anything about him. Miami games were like a torture to your soul to watch last year. Travis Perry, grapevine says Maryland, Ole Miss. I've seen some figures whispered about Travis Perry that are an unbelievable amount of money. And if he is getting offered that by one of those schools, Kit had to go. Wouldn't you agree?

Yeah, I kind of hinted of that when he first announced. I knew there were some big offers, but it seems they've only gotten bigger over time as these teams get desperate to plug holes. I mean, I saw one, you know, think about how many numbers he probably was making last year, just the sheer amount of numbers in the number. Add one. Oh, really? Yeah. Really?

I think Maryland is like, Buzz must have saw something he liked. Because I think Maryland is like throwing some cash. And a lot of these teams, they're a little behind. If you look at some rosters, there's a lot of teams that have needs and there's just not many options. So Travis is benefiting by being one of the last available on the board also, I think. Yeah, a lot of times in life, I think we're going to learn in this portal situation. If you want to get a big payday, I think being first or last has a lot of benefits. I think when you first start and everybody's got full pocket books, jumping on that's good,

and then maybe being the last girl at the dance, it might be in the middle where you actually get your lease value. I think being like the first and the last may actually make you some money. Yeah, when you put it that way, you get lost in the shuffle maybe in the middle a little bit, but right now he's standing out. If he's able to pull down seven figures. I didn't say seven, you said that. I just said one more figure than the other figure.

Yeah, and so I did the math, and I came up with seven. That's why he leave. That was where I live in that said that, not me. I know he was really torn on leaving UK. That wasn't the plan, but if someone can probably double or triple your minutes and they're paying you more, he has to. I mean, he's not someone that's going to have a long NBA career or anything. So if he can make good money right now as a sophomore, he has to jump on that. I just saw this man and rest in peace, this man that passed away.

I'm not going to say his name. When I saw that, I thought that was a joke. I would have thought that's any name. He was a real, like that was a real person. The Mets guy, right? The Mets guy. And when they put it up, I thought this is like a joke, but that was his actual name. I mean, you can say it because it's his name, right?

Or you just don't want to get Ryan started. Yeah, I don't want Brian giggling. I'm just saying, rest in peace of the man. But when I saw that was his name, I thought, don't, my literal thought was, don't make jokes about that. about that and then that was his name so who's up first shan natty natty go ahead natty hey matt um we named our fish gemstone after your show recommendation you named what we named our fish gemstone named her fish oh her fish okay fish i thought you said your sis i thought you'd name your sister gemstone and i was like well that's quite a name okay you're fish that makes sense

Yeah, and then my question was, what's your craziest outfit you won the Derby? Probably this purple one right behind here. So I appreciate the call. I used to dress crazy for Oaks, nice for Derby. And I wore this purple. It looks like the dude from McDonald's. What was the grimace? Or you look like the Joker?

Or the Joker, yeah. I mean, I think I looked pretty good. The problem was that the hat was not the same color as the rest of the purple. It was a little lighter. But I felt, I saw Marty Smith that day who also wears crazy stuff. And he looked at me and goes, well, you brought it today. But it wasn't like an admiring statement. How many times since then have you worn those purple patent leather shoes?

Zero. They made my feet bleed. They were not. Those were the ones that made my feet bleed. That was not a comfortable, comfortable thing. You had the blue turquoise suit you wore the one year? I wore a teal one, and I wore a purple one, and remember, I was going to wear a yellow one, and then the person I was dating at the time said, your skin tone and yellow will not work.

We were talking about that yesterday, Mario, that white people shouldn't wear yellow. And that Luca looks. Rons wearing a yellow tie. Well, but that's a tie. You don't want to wear like a yellow shirt. There you go. And you've got that Panama City tan, so you're looking good. That's right, yeah.

Yes. 859-280-202. 287. One person writes, Matt, I think I know who threw Ryan on the ground. I won't say his name because he works here, but I've come to the conclusion it's him. His name is not Chuck, but I'm contemplating whether to tell Ryan to set up an apology. I'm all for it. Let's do it. Set it up. I'm not going to be a jerk to the guy. Are you not? I just want to hear him say, man. I'm sorry. I should have done that I was. You've held a 30-year grudge towards this man. Well, and deservedly so. He almost ruptured

my entire career right there in that moment. By the way, I think I figured out the Trent Noah comparison. Okay. I didn't feel good about the Derek Willis. I didn't feel good about Alex Poitiers. What do you like about this one? Darren Feldhouse. That's not bad.

Yep. Big, strong guy that could shoot. Yeah. Strong, not a big, but also not a gar. Kind of in the middle. I like that. I like that. I like that.

Mountain. Yep. You like Darren Feldhouse? I think that's a good one. I think until I hear a better one, that's the one I'm going with. We'll take a break right back. KSR. Yeah, that's a good one.

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, Tucky Sports Radio. 859-280-2287. A lot of people want to say Scott Paget for Trent Noah. I like Feldhouse better.

Scott Paget was bigger. Scott Padgett played in the league. Now, maybe Noah will get to be that good, but you can't just throw a Scott Padgett name around because he, I mean, he played in the NBA for a number of years. Yeah, 6-9. I like the field house because they're about the same size. And I can see.

What is Noah? Like 6-5? I know, I don't care what they list him. What is he actually? Like, I think I've stood next to him, and I think he was just slightly taller than me. That sounds about right. So I think he's more, whereas Padgett,

It's big. Yeah. So I'm going to go with that. Now, Founthouse was a rock. You know what I mean? Like he was, he was a big strong dude. Strong. So like we've got left to see if he ends up like that.

I considered Padgy yesterday for my answer, but yeah, he was a lot bigger and put more inside. Ask anything Wednesday before we go to the phone. What about Janice, Drew, and Halliburton's dad? If you haven't seen the, if you haven't seen the video yet. So Janus, they lose the game, terrible ending for the bucks. I think they go on an 80, 9-0 running 40 seconds, Indiana. And then at first the only video you saw was Janus going head-to-head with Haliburton's dad. And you were like, hey, Janus, hang on.

But then another video comes out that shows Halliburton ran on the court, Halliburton's dad, and was chirping at Janus. I got to tell you I saw Shaq and Charles Barkley argued about it and Shaq was like he's always out there and Barclay's like he shouldn't be people's dad should not be on the court I'm all on Janus's side

and I'll even go so far as to say Halberton's dad's lucky didn't get punched in the face last night Any other player but Janus probably does hit him in the face and completely unprovoked Janus just his season just ended he's not moving he's kind of just staring off

into the distance realizing what just happened and Halliburton's dad runs up to him of crazy behavior and it just takes Halliburton hits the game winner Indiana's moving on the next round and no one is talking about what Tyrese Halliburton

did his dad completely hijacked the story and it's an embarrassing work Shannon would you agree dad shouldn't be on the court parents are always trying to get in their son's business like get out of the way get out of the court your time has passed too Dad get out there has passed Halliburton's dad get out

Get off the court. Like, you should not be on the court. You certainly shouldn't be in the news. If I'm Tyrese, I'm like, Dad, stay home. What are you doing? I am a grown man. It would be one thing if he was a college kid. What is Tyrese hell?

27, 28 years old, and dad's out there wearing the jersey looking like he wants to play. He's holding a towel. Get off the court, old man. What are you doing? This is not recreational ball. This is not a little league. If I'm honest, I wouldn't, well, I wouldn't have because I don't fight. But if I'm Yonis, he is lucky he head to head.

First of all, Yonis is seven feet tall. Halberton's dad's like a little tiny dude. What does he think is going to happen? Any other fan that does that, they get detained and arrested. He shouldn't be allowed on the court again. It's one thing if you let people's parents on the court, but the moment you do that, he should never be allowed on the court. That's right.

I think if he wasn't his dad, he would have been detained and arrested. But he's lucky, what if he did that to somebody? Like he said, Draymond Green or somebody? He'd be in the hospital this morning. I honestly kind of wish. Yonis had punched him in the face. I think it would be, I think it would actually be kind of funny. Like, see, you want to talk trash?

Yeah, he ran up in his space. I actually feel bad for Tyrese. I believed him when he said, I had no idea it happened until I got to the locker room and saw a video. And then he was apologizing the press conference. Oh, he did. I didn't see that. Again, a moment that should be about him hitting a game winner and taking Indiana on.

He said, my dad was completely out of line. He did say that. Okay, I didn't see it. He said, I didn't even know about it until I got in the back. Good for him. He showed me a video. So I just feel bad that he's having to answer that after what should have been a huge moment in his career my parents would i mean my what's hard to me is i

can't imagine somebody's parent can you imagine larry walking out on the court after a game that'd be awesome i want you to imagine larry walking on the court and go like first of all he he not would he not walk on the court he would just go up to him and go nice game young man you really he would hug you really you really gave it your all Played hard. Like, the idea that you would go up and yell. I mean, even if you ran to celebrate with the Pacers, you shouldn't do that. But to seek out the guy who just lost, that's crazy.

And Shaquille O'Neal, what's he talking about, saying, well, he's always on the court. He should be there. First of all, Shaquille O'Neal would have knocked him out. Oh, my. Like, are you, you think Shaquille O'Neal would have let that guy yell at him? I was actually very surprised that the T&T guys weren't all in complete agreement that it was out of line. I don't know if Shaq just wouldn't have a different opinion for the show. They must know that guy or something because I just...

There's no reason you should be in the player's face. There's no way when Shaquille O'Neal was playing. That he would a lad of dude's dad run out on the court and talk track. Not a chance. He would have knocked... Especially in that moment. Your season just ended on essentially a buzzer-beater. Yeah.

Come on. Who's up next, Shannon? Jeff. Jeff. Jeff. Hey there, Matt. What's going on? First time, long time.

Who I? Yeah, not much. So I'm calling in hoping for... for some advice and maybe some help. All right. I'm good to give advice. You know that. I'm an advice giver.

All right, yeah. So I'm about to graduate from school in Virginia. All right. Congratulations. Are we talking graduating college? Yeah. All right. Congratulations.

Yeah, college. It's William and Mary. Oh, I've heard of William. And I'm planning a cross-country bike trip with some friends of mine after graduation to help raise money for the Olman Foundation. which supports young adults with cancer. Okay. And I'm calling in because we are coming through Kentucky in late May.

Okay. And I'm hoping I could get some advice on some places to stop. And from the case of audience, we're coming in from Huntington, West Virginia. Yes, you're going to come in from Huntington. I would say, if you're coming in from Huntington, you're going to go, like, through northeast Kentucky. So, I mean, I think, like, the places I think are kind of neat there. You could go down the country music highway, right? Go through, like, you know, Olive Hill and Paintsful and, you know, Mount Sterling that area.

You're probably not going to want to ride on the interstate since you're on a bicycle. Yeah, hoping to avoid that. Yeah, so there's, you know, there are some roads back through there that you could do. And I think you go to Lexington, right? And then I think I would head down towards kind of bourbon country through Woodford County. There are a lot of good cycling roads. People love to cycle through there down through Bardstown. That's what I would do.

If you come through Lexington, I'd love to have you come by KS. Barr while we're here one day and support your trip. I think that's very noble of you guys do, and you'll have an amazing time. That'd be terrific. We're certainly going through Lexington. I've got family over there. Well, make sure to contact me before. and come by. Okay, congrats on doing that and congrats on graduation.

We'll do. Thank you so much, Matt. By the way, today is the last day of school for the, for UK students, graduation coming. I wonder a lot of our UK, did our players, our basketball players, a lot of them probably graduated four or five years ago that we're on the team, but I assume we have some that we're graduating. You think there'd be somebody finishing a two-year post-graduate degree or something? Mario Williams is becoming a professor, I think.

But yeah, but that's good. It's kind of rare to have graduating seniors coming in through her basketball program. I was around the campus area yesterday at my sauna place, and people are just everywhere. I just continue to be amazed at how nice UK's campus is compared to what it used to be when you were there. I mean, when you were there, it was essentially, let's be honest, you went to school in a parking garage. And now it looks like a campus and like it looks like Idealic life in some ways. I was with someone out just a few weekends ago and he had gone to UK

Years ago and he mentioned like I don't recognize campus anymore I was like I live in Lexington. I'm around campus and I still I don't even recognize it because it's constantly changing Everything's so brand new. Hagen Hall where many people stayed is now like a historical marker. I hate walking by that on the way to games and football games So it is just completely changed in the last decade. By the way, if you have not been to Canaan,

campus recently. You ought to go visit in front of Memorial Coliseum, they finally finished their statue thing. And it's basically, it's something for every county. Is it people who've died? Right. What is it? Yeah, it's Memorial Coliseum. So it's a memorial. Each county is on a marker, and each marker has soldiers who have perished in line of duty, I believe, in combat. Yes, it is a really beautiful thing. It's now out in front of the Coliseum. It's, it's now out in front of the Coliseum, it's now up, and it has each county, and you can see, I don't think it's everyone that passed away in battle from those counties. Is it somebody, they went, people who went to UK, maybe, who did?

See, I thought it was all war-related. Well, it is war-related, but it can't be every person in every war. That wouldn't be enough space, is there? I don't know, there's a lot of monuments out there. Yeah, there are a lot. There's like 20 of them, but it is still, it is a really neat thing. It is really cool. I'm glad they did that, because that was in their original Memorial Coliseum,

inside. So now they've made an effort to do that outside. I think that's cool. Marble and all that. It's really, really nice.

I was mortified when I came home, and he said I called Churchill Downs to see about a ticket, and they said we couldn't get him. I want to apologize for my brother. I don't know what made him think he could do that, but I'm mortified.

mortified in the moment and I'm mortified listening now. It definitely happened. They wouldn't have sent out that email. We all learn. Everybody makes mistakes. Make sure you're shot. I like the effort. You know, maybe they would have said yes.

I don't know. We'll take a break. Be right back. KSR. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind. Highlights are trending. Opinions are flying.

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.

We're in the middle of a game. 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. A rep, mom. I'm going to want you to weigh better.

What? Where's he at? Hey, Miss Parker. Listen to the Cliverts show on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, 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 to 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 flound. He running 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. Welcome back.

It is Kentucky Sports Radio. 859-280-2287. Ask anything Wednesday. One person writes, Matt, did you see the story about the Buffalo Bills General manager calling into the radio show and yelling at the host and telling them they were wrong, has that ever happened with you at Kentucky? Well, first of all, did you see what happened? They were talking about the draft, and they said something like, oh, you didn't get a

wide receiver, you didn't get a safety or whatever. I think it was wide receivers. You didn't get wide receivers. And the Bill's GM called and basically just yelled at the guys and was like, we've got wide receivers. What are you talking about? we can't have everything and like kind of yelled at him on the air. Yes, that did almost happen once.

There was a coach, I'm not going to say which one. There was a coach at UK. Think of the two major sports. So let's see. I've been doing this through three football coaches and three basketball, now four basketball coaches. And there was a time I was doing a post-game show. And I found out after the show was over that a coach tried to call into the postgame show on the way home to basically yell at me and had the phone taken out of their hand and hung up before it happened.

And it wasn't Mark Pope. So you can guess from the other. six coaches who you think it was most likely. Actually, you all don't know this story. I was going to say, I don't know the story, but that would have made great radio. You all don't know this story. I'm not going to answer, but who would you guess it was? So you got, the choices would be Brooks, Joker, Stoops, Gillespie.

I was here for Tubby, Tubby, Gillespie, CalPerry. I know who I would guess. Okay, we'll guess. I would guess Joker. Okay, why? Just because things did not go well those two years. You were a little more brash back in those days, not afraid to say. Maybe I was a little more brash back in those days.

That's very true. How was I more brash? I can see him. Yeah, you had a good relationship for a long time with a lot of the guys. Drew and I drove Joker home one time. Yeah, but you would be brash and not afraid to say things. Okay. Who would you guess?

Cal first pothed in my head, but I don't think Cal would want to give the attention to the show by being a part of it. I think he would choose to ignore it. I'm going to go Mark Stoops. I could see him being fiery enough and he knows you enough to be like, well, I'm just going to call in and let him know how it is right now.

All right, Shannon, who would you guess? That was my guess as well, because he gets fired up, and I could see him getting really mad at something you said and wanted to call you, so I'd say Stoops as well. And he's called the show several times

on positive notes, so I feel like he wouldn't have an issue with popping on after a game or whatever. Well, I'm not going to answer. I will say this. I've learned over the years that all of the coaches that I mentioned, except I have yet to hear this about Pope, which doesn't mean it hasn't happened,

but I know for a fact, all those coaches at some point on their drive home from the game have listened, and various points, all of them have mentioned something I said during those scenarios. So I do think about that because, you know, That last back half of the postgame show, the coach probably has time to be in the car and be on the way home by then. And they try to tell you they don't listen to the noise. They block it out. They don't listen to shows.

None of them. They do. There's not one person that's been here that does not know what the narrative is in the media. There's nobody. They can all say it. They're all lying, every single one of them. because it's part of their job. Some of them now, I think, follow it more than others,

but they all know it. I mean, when they don't say that, I just think that's the biggest bunch of nonsense. Who's next, Shand? Jordan. Jordan. Jordan. Hey, Matt, two quick things.

One, what are the chances that UK would ever switch from a Nike school to another brand? And then second, with the athletics department now in an LLC, how long until colleges across America just get rid of their athletics departments and they become like semi-professionals. Well, I appreciate the call. I mean, I don't know about get rid. Will Kentucky ever switch from a Nike school? My answer would be almost certainly no, unless they get an offer of money that makes it to where you have to do it.

So, you know, I mean, when they switched from IMG to JMI, it was because they got an offer that they could not say no to. JMI was trying to basically create their entry into the broadcasting business, and they decided to pay a lot of money to UK to do it. So UK almost didn't have a choice. So the only thing I could say is the only way they'd leave Nike is if some shoe or apparel company says, we're going to pay you so much that you just can't say no, Drew. And, you know, Adidas kind of does that with Louisville and Kansas.

Adidas pays Louisville and Kansas a ton because they don't want to lose them. Who knows? That could happen one day, but I think it's doubtful. I'd say it's very doubtful. And barring just something crazy, I think Nike would match. There's a few brands they don't want to lose, and Kentucky's one of them, Duke. You know, they have some of the top brands in college basketball. And I don't think Nike could let that walk out their door and go somewhere else.

Yeah, I think Nike takes pride in the fact that if you were to say, what are the biggest brands in football? You'd say Ohio State, Alabama, Georgia, and they have all of them. And then you would say, what are the biggest brands in basketball? And you'd say Duke, Kentucky, North Carolina, and they have all of them. So I think, you know, Adidas has Kansas. But what's Adidas's biggest football school? I mean, is it Louisville?

You know, I mean, like so. I don't even think of who wears Adidas? Yeah, I can't really either. You know, I guess Under Armour has Auburn, right? but that's about it. I'd hope that if Apex ever called, Kentucky would listen, though. If Apex wants to come back from the dead from 1994, that's one we would have to entertain. As far as the other thing, would the athletics department, would U.K. sports ever just get rid of the athletics department and kind of run it as a business?

No, but I think you're seeing what they're doing here as a step in that direction. I mean, I don't think they'll ever get rid of it as they'll always be an athletics department because they've got to report to a state school. but I think what you're seeing now is a step towards acknowledging, Ryan, it's a business. Yeah, and we've seen that. We've talked about it, that Kentucky may be the blueprint that other schools will now try to model their programs after. The next, I mean, look, the next decision for college athletics,

step one is they decide to pay. Step two is they got to decide, are you going to treat these kids as employees or not? And there's a lot of reason schools don't want to do that, but at the end of the day, if you want to be able to impose restrictions, and have a salary cap and try to make it to where kids can't transfer every year. The only way you're going to be able to do it is if you make them employees.

It's the only way. So, like, I just think they ought to just bite the bullet and do it. Because if they don't, we're just going to continue to see legal battles into the future. College Athletics is the only sport, it's the only entity in the world where we want to treat people like employees and not call them employees. So, like, they got to just switch it. And then you can start to impose order by bargaining, et cetera. We'll take a break. Come back.
