All right, good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and aunts and uncles, Ryan Lemon, Drew Franklin,
Starting point is 00:02:47 and Shannon and Shannon, and Dr. Franklin and Shannon of Kentucky Sports Radio, sponsored by the T.J. Smith Law Office called T.J., what happens? He'll make them pay. He'll make them pay. Of course, today, we've got our Clark's Pubbyshop Phone number 859-280-2-2-2-2-8. 87. That's 859-280-O cats. We'll have our whiskey thief call of the day. Our A-Vision glass text machine, I guess, has to be my cell phone this week since Matt's off this week.
Starting point is 00:03:10 It'll work. It'll work. And we have a fun day, a fun event playing for us. We're at the swings for soldiers golf event. I hear at the University Club. We're going to get to that in just a minute. But we have to start with the tragedy that hit Lexington yesterday, the tragic events in Lexington. It was a sad day for our city when a man got pulled over by Kentucky State Trooper. The trooper got shot. Thankfully, he's okay. But then the man drove
Starting point is 00:03:39 all the way out, Old Richmond Road, shot four people, two women passed away, two men are severely injured. And then police officers came to the church and took him out, took the shooter out. So in total, three
Starting point is 00:03:55 people died, three people were injured in a matter of 30 minutes. I mean, it was a weird feeling to be in Lexington yesterday when that was going down. Drew, you ended up kind of right in the middle of it out there at the airport. It was out of the airport, yeah. It was just sad and shocking to watch this unfold yesterday. Yeah, very sad.
Starting point is 00:04:15 You know, thinking and praying for the lives lost their families. Lexham was on high alert there for a few hours. Yeah, it was. Turns out Harold Leader's done some great reporting. The shooter knew everyone. Doesn't make it any less tragic. And for them to be at a church and that's happened just makes it truly sad. but just from my experience, I wasn't at the airport when it happened,
Starting point is 00:04:34 but wasn't too far behind. I'm picking up my sister, and she's in the air texting. They're not letting us land. There are police cars with lights everywhere at the airport, a helicopter above. I mean, we had a slight inconvenience, but there was just kind of like what is going on at that point. Lex, LAX-18, and some of the local news had put out that it happened, but there was a lot of uncertainty there.
Starting point is 00:04:53 And then, as you mentioned, all the details, just a sad afternoon and Sunday afternoon in Lexman, especially just involving a church. I mean, there's no good place to die, but there shouldn't be a safer place than a church. That's exactly right. That's where it hits home, I think, that it happened at a church. And, you know, like you said, a lot of the details are coming out. He was supposed to be in court, I think, today for like a violation of his parole.
Starting point is 00:05:17 He was just released in January from jail on parole that he violated the parole. He's supposed to have a court date today. I think there, yeah, he knew the people of the victims. it's just so sad and shocking. But then you hear all the great stories that have come out of it. Like some civilians at the airport stopped and gave CPR to that state trooper. Okay, I didn't realize that. Yeah, yeah, those stories are coming out.
Starting point is 00:05:42 And thank God he's okay. I mean, it said Beverly Gunn and Christina Combs are the two people that passed, but it could have been worse, it sounds like. Could have been a lot worse. So I think the quick response by the Kentucky State Police and the Lexington City Police also prevented this from getting worse. they need to be commended, you know, first responders, all these people that put their lives in danger for that. So just we needed to show our sympathy and condolences to the family before we switch gears and talk to Jacob Tammy here in a minute and swing for soldiers.
Starting point is 00:06:11 But just our thoughts and prayers to everybody involved yesterday. Yeah, absolutely. We're going to have a fun day. I'm excited to be out here. But that was some tragic news to come through Lexington on a Sunday. So we're thinking of everyone involved. You know, on that old Frankfurt, old Richmond Road, that's where firefighter Brenda Cowan got shot. killed, you know, 25 years ago.
Starting point is 00:06:30 So that one road out there has been the sight of two tragic events for our city. It just kind of maybe brings all that back a little bit, you know? It does. And at first when they said Richmond Road, you think, kind of in the city, this is pretty far out there. Right. I mean, that's still awful. But, you know, at the time, as I said, we don't know details.
Starting point is 00:06:49 We just know there are police cars everywhere. We've heard of a state trooper's been shot, and now there's a shooter in Lexington. It was very scary there for a while until we kind of figured out what's going on. Great job on all the reporting, too, to let her keep everybody up to date. Yeah, yeah. So our thoughts and prayers with the family and those people involved with that. And with that, we've got a job to do. We have to do a show.
Starting point is 00:07:06 Yep. So we're going to take our break. An early break, Shannon, come back. We'll have Jacob Tamion talk about swings for soldiers and tell us to this great event that's going on out here at the University Club. We'll be right back. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind. Highlights are trending, opinions are flying, and nobody's telling you exactly what happened.
Starting point is 00:07:23 That's where Sports Slice comes in. I'm Timbo. Every episode, we're cutting through the noise.

Sometimes when we're in the pursuit of the thing, we get so wrapped up in the chase
Starting point is 00:08:27 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 or are you a good person because you're afraid?

Starting point is 00:09:07 Jacob Kingston grew up in an isolated polygamous sect. We were God's chosen kingdom on earth. He felt destined for greatness. So when a swaggering Armenian businessman catapulted Jacob into an extraordinary world, he doesn't look back. Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, meeting the president of Turkey. I'm Michelle McPhee, and this is one of the most shocking criminal conspiracies I've ever come across. When Jacob met, Levant, this went to a billion dollar fraud. But with two kings from entirely different worlds, just how long can their empire survive?
Starting point is 00:09:46 The largest tax investigation in American history. You need to tell me what you know. Is somebody coming after me? Jacob told Levan, you're ruining my life. Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Life throws hurdles big and small. The question is, how do you conquer them? On hurdle with Emily Abadi, we sit down with the most inspiring women in sports and wellness,
Starting point is 00:10:16 professional athletes, coaches, and Olympic champions to talk about the challenges that shaped them and the mindset that keeps them going. From the WMBA standout, Kate Martin and rising hockey star, Layla Edwards. If a boy can do it, I don't see why a girl can't. Like, I've never understood that. Like, it didn't make sense in my brain. It's hard to be in spaces that no one looks like you,
Starting point is 00:10:35 but don't ever feel like you don't belong. Don't let that be the reason you don't do it. An Olympic champs, Gabby Thomas, and Katie Ledecky. The ability to show a gold medal to someone and have their face light up and smile, that means the world to me. And that's what motivates me to win. more gold medals. At our level, at this scale, like being able to fail in front of the entire
Starting point is 00:10:56 world. Like, I can do anything. I can, like, I can do anything. Because resilience isn't just about winning. It's about showing up, even when it's hard. Listen to Hurtle with Emily Abadi on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. All right, welcome back. Ryan, Drew and Shannon here, Kentucky Sports radio doing kind of a little of reset now because we are live on location today at university club golf course out on leasedown road for the annual swings for soldiers event 15th year they put this event on and the man behind it all is former u.k star former boyle county rebel that's how i know him jacob tammie jacob this is a wonderful wonderful event you've done i can't believe it's been 15
Starting point is 00:11:41 years yeah me neither ryan me neither no we were discussing a moment ago about how that ages both of us Going back to talking about the Boyle County days, too, when I first met you a long, long time ago. But, yeah, 15 years, really just an amazing journey with this event. My wife, Allison, and I kind of drew it up at the kitchen table when we were living in Indianapolis. And I did some research across a lot of military charities. We knew we had a heart for our vets and wanted to support them in some way. and did a lot of research, looked at a lot of different groups, decided not to do our own foundation,
Starting point is 00:12:19 decided to partner with somebody. And yeah, I called the founder of Homes for Our Troops, a group based out of Taunton, Massachusetts, right outside of Boston. And I said, hey, my name is Jacob Tammy. I play for the Colts. I want to do an event for you.
Starting point is 00:12:33 And he was like, what? So it was, from that point on, it's been 15 years. And since then, many people that are actually famous, unlike me, have jumped on board. Phil Mickelson has become a big supporter of the cause. Jake Tapper, you know, the news guy. There's a lot of folks that have really jumped on the Homes for Our Troops train over the years.
Starting point is 00:12:57 So, yeah, we can, homes for our troops, in my estimation, is there's a lot of different groups that build houses for vets. There's several different ones. Homes for our troops is the best one, and they just do a phenomenal job. We're super glad and thankful that we chose to partner with them. and yeah, here we are 15 years later, still running this event. And Tom, who I believe might come on with you guys later, Tom Landemeyer, the president's CEO of Homes for Our Troops is here today. He comes and joins us every year.
Starting point is 00:13:23 He told us last night that we are the longest running event. Wow. In Homes for Our Troops history. That's why that's awesome. Yeah, it's really cool. Yeah, I've played in this a few times. I was telling Ryan during the break. I'm lucky to play a lot of golf scrambles.
Starting point is 00:13:36 You all do it right here. Good gifts, you're friendly. You greet people on the road as they're pulling in, shake everyone's hand at the entrance. to you club, but most importantly is literally the homes for the troops. Talk about kind of what it's like because veterans do get a home out of this. When you actually get to hand those keys over and see the true impact it has other than the day of golf you get to do out here every year.
Starting point is 00:13:57 Well, it is pretty incredible. So the mission is about, and Homs for Our Troops kind of tagline, building homes, rebuilding lives. And so, you know, when a guy goes out there and fights on our behalf, and gives so much of himself. And in every case, I believe, with all of these guys, they're all double amputees or worse. So we have veterans we've supported here in our family.
Starting point is 00:14:25 We called our Swings for Soldiers family. So if I refer to that, that's what I mean. So our family here, we've got paralysis, we've got double amputees, we've got some arms, elbow down, just all kinds of different things. And each home is specially adapted. for that person and what they need. In fact, this year's honoree is Will Thomas.
Starting point is 00:14:49 He currently lives in Houston. His home is going to be built. Murphy's Bro, Tennessee, where he's from. And he actually got a home where he's at in Houston now from a different group. Somehow he got connected with some folks that were trying to help him. And he was telling him sharing with us last night at dinner, sort of the issues he's having with it. And the cool thing is we're going to be able to give him a brand new home
Starting point is 00:15:11 with all the technology that he needs, the space to operate, where he can cook eggs for his kids, where he doesn't have to rely on someone else to help him shower, where he can be independent again and not have those issues that he's dealing with now. So that's just an incredible thing to get to help homes for our troops go do for Will. I like it, but a lot of them will play out here, but those who aren't able, you've got that big mega golf cart, I call it. I don't know what anything that is.
Starting point is 00:15:36 But you drive around, they still get to be a part of the day, too. It's a fun day for a lot of the guys involved. It is, yeah. So we've got several of our vets that actually can play and enjoy golf, and that's so much fun to see them go out there and do that. And some other guys that aren't physically able ride around with me. They hate that. Every year we have so much fun riding around.
Starting point is 00:15:58 And, you know, they give me a hard time with my driving, et cetera, the golf cart, not the golf ball. But it's really been an awesome journey. In fact, you know, talking about the guys playing. Chase Matthews was our first honorary back in year one. Okay, and actually his daughter was seven years old. She got married last week. Oh, wow. That's talking about an event.
Starting point is 00:16:16 We are old. Right? So, yeah, but it's a cool kind of thing about how this event is just kind of, you know, you get down 15 years. That sort of stuff happens. It's amazing to think about. But Chase rode around with me that day, and I hadn't met him until the day of the event. By the time we were finished, she's kind of a quiet guy anyway. And I wondered if he had had a good time.
Starting point is 00:16:34 We were leaving, and I thought, we probably can never do this again. I was walking to my car, and I thought there's been an incredible day. But it was just, you know, starting an event. And, you know, that year we made, I made every phone call. We just drummed up the support and we went and did it. And I remember being so exhausted and just like, you know, that was incredible. But I don't know if we can do it ever again. Well, as we're walking to the car, we're the last people leaving the course.
Starting point is 00:16:57 It was my wife, Allison and I, and then Chase and his wife, Jennifer. And as that thought was in my head, Chase looked at me and said, hey, man, that was fun. Next year, I'm going to play golf. And I sat down in the car, and I told Alice, and I said, well, I guess we're doing it next year. You got to. And so Chase did come, and he did play, and he's been here every year, and he's played every year since. Wow. That's awesome. Yeah, and so, you know, really, I share that story a lot.
Starting point is 00:17:24 I shared at the event a lot, you know, because it's not the power of words, first of all, right? I mean, if he doesn't say that to me, we're probably not sitting here today. Yeah. And just the impact that his encouragement to me that day gave us, and now here we are 15 years later. You mentioned we're going to have one of the families come on with our, show with us by the end of the day today. Tell us about them. Yeah, so this year's honor is Will Thomas. I don't know if we'll be able to get him on, but Brett Bonderant is another.
Starting point is 00:17:49 We had about seven or eight of the guys back here today. Brett, I think, is going to join us. Brett's just an awesome guy. He lives up in Indiana. He's a Cats fan. So Brett always gets brownie points, you know, being a Cats fan. So we've helped build homes in Kentucky, Indiana, Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, I believe, Illinois.
Starting point is 00:18:15 So it's kind of centered around Kentucky, but of course there's not always a vet coming through the program in Kentucky. One of the great things about homes for our troops is they're trying to find these guys. The guys that apply to go through the program, they get accepted. They really get to try to live where they want.
Starting point is 00:18:29 Right. So we've had a lot of, which is cool. Like Will this year, he's kind of getting, he's moving back home to Tennessee. So that's been really cool to see. But yeah, Brett, we were able to go up to his key ceremony. Brett was probably 12 or so years ago.
Starting point is 00:18:46 But yeah, you guys would really enjoy talking to him. He's got wonderful families, wife London, and their kids. Two of his daughters are going to be here today too. Beyond the scramble, you're retired now. You're keeping up with our cats. I know you got the hat on. Are you a season ticket holder? Let's talk a little ball.
Starting point is 00:19:03 You tell Gaden what's life like for Jacob Tammy post football these days. Yeah, yeah. Actually, yes, yes, yes, and yes to those questions. I am a season ticket holder. I am tailgating. So I've got a son that's going to be a freshman at Boyle County, so we're kind of tied up with high school. We'll be going through the high school football thing.
Starting point is 00:19:23 On Saturdays, though, yeah, we'll be there for the home games. We have a little, a very small sort of tailgate that no one would ever pay any attention to. So we're just kind of hanging out over there in the corner. and we just we but we really love going to the games and supporting the cats and that's that's been a lot of fun actually since since we've been back home kind of kind of doing that we love going to many baseball games basketball games as we can my kids are in that age where that's difficult Saturday afternoons in the fall are kind of our our easiest you know air quotes thing to get to but with Luke and his schedule, and then my daughter Lila and her schedule, and then Ella is now doing things. When a third child starts doing things, it's like, oh, smoke, hold on, you have things too, you know? So we're in a great phase of life, though.
Starting point is 00:20:17 A small tailgate, Ron, just the all-time leading tight-in ever, just in the corner, just a little bitty operation there. We all have a mutual friend, Jeff Klosterman, and Dr. K will send me pictures of you coaching on the field like all football season. But you coach more than you coach football, but you coach other sports too, don't you? Yeah, so I helped coach Boyle Middle Football the last couple years and youth before that, which was just been a ton of fun. I really loved it.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Middle school was awesome because they're old enough to kind of do things. Yeah. And then, yeah, this year I think I'm going to just kind of be a dad with football. But I do help with baseball as well. I love baseball as a player. When I first went to Kentucky, I was going to be a two-sport. I remember that. Got hurt.
Starting point is 00:20:58 Didn't end up playing baseball. So everyone thinks I don't live vicariously through the baseball teams I coach because they're like, He played in three Super Bowls. You know, it's so great that, you know, you're not out here being one of those guys. It's like living vicariously through the kids, but it's totally false. I'm living my baseball dream through these kids, 100%. So, but now I've had a really fun summer team that I've coached for several years now. I coached with Keynes this year with a really fun group.
Starting point is 00:21:22 And I help with Boyle Middle and may help with Boyle High School baseball a little bit. So I really enjoy that. It's something fun. Imagine being a two-sport athlete. I noticed, you know, doing my show prep, your UK bio says you came to Kentucky as a defensive back and a wide receiver. Let's go back to then and how you went from defensive back to this great tight end that went on to play with Peyton Manning, the music City Bowl is the great career, but a defensive back? Yeah, so not only defensive back, I was kind of
Starting point is 00:21:50 tall and I played corner. So I kept thinking I was going to get moved to safety in high school, but never did it. Just left me out there at corner and, you know, I don't know, at some point, teams didn't really throw it to that side of the field very much. We had another good corner on the other side. Jeremy Brumman, you probably remember. Oh, yes. So, you know, I did. I played corner in high school and played receiver. And then right there, I guess it was my sophomore year at Kentucky. You know, can you have weird memories throughout your career in different parts of life? My freshman year at Kentucky, I was playing on the scout team as a receiver. And Steve Brown, who actually, I think was going to be here today, was a defensive coordinator at the time. I was playing a scout team. I caught a pass. I'm jogging back to the huddle. And he looked at me and said, hey, Tammy. He said, you're going to be. a really good tight-in one day. I'm like, well, first of all, a little bit disrespectful. I just caught a pass on your defense as a receiver, okay? But second of all, okay, that's an interesting little nugget.
Starting point is 00:22:43 I just remember that moment. And it wasn't too far later. It's about, I guess, a year later, Coach Phillips, Coach Orte Meyer, coach Brooks came to me and said, hey, you know, we think you could be a, you know, a difference maker at tight end, a real, you know, stud there. And I said, okay, so I put my hand in the dirt for the first time that week. We went down and played at Tennessee.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Yep. they tried not to get me killed by the defensive ends. They had a couple really good defensive ends that week. I blocked just enough to sort of sneak in there and then found my way out of there where they were really trying to get me. I think caught a couple touchdowns, which was like after that, I thought, hey, they might be right. Maybe I can be a great title.
Starting point is 00:23:19 I was at that game. That was the Jacob Tammy coming out party at Tennessee. All of a sudden out of nowhere, they move you to tight in and you come out and have this monster game. Last game of the season. I wondered if I was just a sneak attack or if we could keep doing it. So we were able to keep doing it, which was cool. You mentioned Rich Brooks.
Starting point is 00:23:34 He's one of Kentucky fans' all-time favorites. A lot of people call him Pappall. He's tweeting about his tomatoes and his golf scores these days. You stay in touch with him at all? Any Rich Brooks' memories that will still make you laugh today? His Twitter is gold, first of all. Yes, it is. It's the best.
Starting point is 00:23:49 You've got to get Rich Brooks on X. Sometimes I literally search his name just to go see what he's posted lately. But, yeah, not so much the last year or two, but definitely have kept in touch, yes. and he gets back every once in a while. Just an amazing, amazing man. He was just the exact right fit for what we needed at that time. I'm super thankful at him. I mean, the story's been documented about me and him,
Starting point is 00:24:16 but I was his first recruit. Without him, I wouldn't have been able to come here. So it was just an incredible circumstance that led to that. And when he was hired, you know, the fact that he gave me an opportunity. I was extremely grateful for and just kind of blown away to this day at how it all worked out. You know, we go back, we said to your Boyle County days, I got to tell Drew, best high school game I've ever seen in my life. And see if I'm wrong.
Starting point is 00:24:46 Caught a touchdown pass, ran a touchdown, threw a touchdown, ran an interception back for a touchdown, and a punt return for a touchdown. Oh, come on. In the state finals. It was in the state finals. Is this a video game? Am I wrong? Drew, I think honestly, I think he's wrong.
Starting point is 00:25:01 I don't want to say he's wrong, but I think there may be some exaggeration there. I thought you're saying you forgot another touchdown. No, no, no, no, no, no. There was at least four touchdowns, four different ways in the state championship game that day. Boyle County, man. That seems exaggerated. I do think, I do, I think I caught one, threw for one, had a pick, something else. But that was, we had an incredible run.
Starting point is 00:25:22 Oh, unbelievable. Four in a row and, I guess five in a row. I was there for four of them. You know, and I was extremely blessed. Like the first year, I didn't do anything. I was part of the first state championship team as a freshman. I did nothing. The people at Boyle in front of me and our group, like, really laid a foundation that was special.
Starting point is 00:25:43 And so we were able to continue it. And then, you know, our junior and senior year. And it kind of, it's funny that sort of had it transition to Kentucky. We had a rough first couple of years. But then the last couple of years, we were really trying to like lay a foundation for the next five years, right, the next decade. And we were able to do that to a degree, you know, 06, 07, and that was a really special time for sure.
Starting point is 00:26:08 As a football fan, I'm a Titans fan, not a lot of success there. Don't come from a high school like Boyle County. The 06-07 Kentucky football, you all, Woodard, Woodson, Burton, we can name the whole squad. I did not think life could get any better than that run. You all head to Nashville. Stoops has now brought in a lot of talent over his time, but you played with one of the most talented groups ever at UK with all those names I just named.
Starting point is 00:26:32 What was that like kind of bringing UK football to a peak there at the end of your four years? Well, as a kid that grew up, bleeding blue in every aspect, right? I mean, basketball and football specifically, in the 1990s, if you were a kid in Kentucky, you loved the basketball cats and you love the football cats. I mean, so to get to go live that out, like, it was an incredible thing for me to be a part of that group. You know, you mentioned Andre, Keenan, Stevie, Dickie, Wesley, Braxton Kelly, Travard Lindley, all these guys.
Starting point is 00:27:09 You know, you could just keep going for probably 10 more names. Like, so many of those guys really cared about the program. That was cool to me because I was from here. Yeah. I grew up dreaming at night of playing at Commonwealth Stadium. But not all those guys did, but when we were here together, it meant just as much to them as it did to me that we give the people of Kentucky, the Kentucky fans pride in our football program.
Starting point is 00:27:39 So that was, man, that was special. And we were able to do that. Oh, 7, arguably, we should have had an even better year. Yeah, no doubt. It leads to me a little bit. Still fun, though, right? But no, it was, yeah. You know, it eats it in my crawl, I think a fumbled against Mississippi State, only fumbled
Starting point is 00:27:55 of my entire career, you know, they looked at the replay. I hate instant replay, by the way, anybody that follows me on X would know that. But at the time, I wish we had it. All right, I was down. It doesn't matter. All right, the ball's out. They got it. So, you know.
Starting point is 00:28:08 Still eats at it. Well, we can't have replay back then. Yeah. But, you know, we opened a wound there, right? Right. But we had a tremendous season. And the coolest part is people, you know, even to this day that, you know, it comes up in conversation and talk about how fun that year was and how much fun they had as a,
Starting point is 00:28:21 fan. And so that was a special thing to be a part of. So we're at the University Club. It's Swing for Soldiers. It's part of the Home for Troops program. People listening, is there a way they can help also? People listening today right now? Yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:28:37 So you can go to swings for soldiers, spell it out.org. Swingsfor Soldiers.org or H-F-O-T-U-S-A.org. So either one. There's different links you can get right in there and donate. You can support the cause. you can support our mission directly. You can go support homes for our troops. We don't really care how you do it.
Starting point is 00:28:55 We just want to help homes for our troops build more houses. We appreciate it, man. Good to see again. You got to get out there and greet everybody. I'm proud of you. He's got to meet and agree with everybody. We'll take our break. We'll come back live from the University Club when we can return.
Starting point is 00:29:09 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. All right, welcome back. Ryan Drew and Shannon here today. off this week, a little vacation before football season starts. So we're going to get you through this week.
Starting point is 00:29:25 We've got Myron Metcalf actually hosting tomorrow, Drew. So that'll be a lot of fun of them. Tuesday with Myron. Tuesday with Myron. Instead of a Monday with Myron. Big thanks to Jacob Tammy, who just sat in with us. The Swing for Soldiers event going on out here at the University Club, part of the home for troops.
Starting point is 00:29:39 Drew, that was awesome, just hearing him talk about it. What they've done since he started this 15 years ago. Yeah, I've been out here many times. Usually I have a team I play with every year. I can't play this year, but I'm glad the opportunity opened for us through the show. here. We've tried to do it in the past and schedules didn't align, but it is a great cause. A lot of UK personalities will be out here.
Starting point is 00:29:57 I'm worried we might be a little too early before they could start hopping on with us, but Stoops usually plays in this, a lot of the coaches, former players, Jacobs old teammates, if we see them one and around, we'll drag them on. But just good to be out here. Good to get out of the studio. It is. A little event with you. So Jacob didn't invite me to play. He invited you to play.
Starting point is 00:30:14 He invited you to play. Didn't invite me to play. But he did say I could come back for the Tony's dinner tonight after the round. I got invited to golf. You got invited to dinner. We all have our things. That's right there. But that's another point. I said how good this golf scramble is. They're having Tonys at a golf scramble. And one of the only of which
Starting point is 00:30:28 Tony's does. Nobody's giving me Tony's. It's usually a pre-wept burger. We have good barbecue at ours, but like a Tony's steak and sides and all that, yeah, they take good care of their golfers. I'm coming. I'm coming back. So Corey Price has tweeted a picture of Jacob looks like in the t-ball days.
Starting point is 00:30:46 I need Corey, though, to research the stat. State Championship, Jacob Tammy. a touchdown pass, threw a touchdown pass, ran for a touchdown, had an interception for a touchdown, and a punt return for touchdown. Yeah, I think you made that up. No, I'm saying at least four of those five he did in the state championship game, so maybe Corey can look that up.
Starting point is 00:31:02 Jacob even looked at you like you were making that up. Facts. I can tell you what else happened that game. He got hit, turned upside down, and landed on his helmet, straight down like a rocket to the ground on his helmet, and still play. You're turning that state championship into a cartoon here, but I'm loving it. He's the former winner of the L-A-X-18 player of the year. award too. I can't believe that.
Starting point is 00:31:23 It was amazing running they had down there. My favorite thing about Jacob Tammy is we're about the same age and he's got the gray beard I got going on. We're in the gray beard era. It's good. Yeah. I have a little gray in your beard to pull it off. Now, I've looked at the A Vision Glass Tech Machine, which of course is my cell phone
Starting point is 00:31:39 this week. Somebody, I didn't see it, said, you've got to ask him about the tight ends. Why don't they use the tight ends? I actually had that in my notes. There's actually question number two. Number one was, what's it like playing in a Super Bowl? Easy question. and number two is winning the hell we're going to throw it to the tight-ins.
Starting point is 00:31:53 Should I go out to the road and chase him down and bring back in? Yeah, they, like you said, they literally take him out to the entrance to the golf course that he greets every golfer that comes in and then rides around during the day on a cart filled with some of the veterans. Well, they have this big long road into U-club,
Starting point is 00:32:08 which is closed, by the way. Don't try to come out here. But he stands at the, there's a little gate, and when you're pulling in, you have to stop, you shake Jacob's hand, he checks you in, talk a little bit, usually has some of the veterans, you meet them, and then it's just a whole day.
Starting point is 00:32:20 They do like American flag, golf flags. Just a lot going on. Very, very, very cool event. They've got a silent auction going on in the next room right beside us. A lot of bourbon packages over there up for grads on the silent auction. Are we allowed to bid, even though we're not official participants? We're media. I can promise you, I'm going to bid on some stuff over there.
Starting point is 00:32:40 I see you looking at these sandwiches. Yeah, Jimmy John just came in, loaded up the table with like 500 sandwiches. One other thing, Jacob and his little tailgate, I feel bad. I mean, this is like a legend. Like he should have a He should be on the wall Somewhere inside the stadium You're telling me he's just got a will be grill
Starting point is 00:32:55 And just a couple of... I mean maybe that's what he wants Maybe he's low key But I thought Well I think he is low key There'd be like a throne he's sitting on And people are You know feeding him grapes outside the stadium
Starting point is 00:33:05 He's Jacob from Danville now He's Boyle County guy He's going to UK Because he grew up a UK fan That's who he is now Not former superstar Jacob Tammy He's dad coach Tammy Coming to support the cats
Starting point is 00:33:16 Living through his Little League Baseball players Yeah that's right All right. Our phone lines are open. 859-280-2-287. That's 859-2-80-Cats if you want to call and get on board today. We've got a lot of things going to be happening in the next couple hour and a half. But SEC football media days start today, Drew, right down in Atlanta.
Starting point is 00:33:35 I was up at 6 a.m. Mondays are my 6 a.m. days. I was watching, what do they call it, show with Peter Burns and Doring this morning, SEC this morning? Sure. They were already wide awake down there at the Omni in Atlanta. Sanky already talked, I guess. He was at 9-something.
Starting point is 00:33:52 I haven't seen any news out of Sanky yet, but we have Adam Luckett and Nick Roush down there. They'll be covering it for KSR. Stoops and the players from Kentucky talk on Thursday, so we won't hear from them until Thursday, but it'll still be a busy week. Sanky probably said something newsworthy. Today we'll get four coaches, tomorrow four coaches,
Starting point is 00:34:13 all the way up until Stoops. But yeah, busy week as we're counting down until football, We'll get our preseason poll. Yeah, right. Preseason, all SEC, all of that will be this week. But Kentucky doesn't go until the last group on Thursday. Yeah, I think they're actually during our show on Thursday because we're going to have Adam and Nick call in,
Starting point is 00:34:33 but they're going to be literally with Stoops while we're on the air. Alex Safari, Jordan Lovett, and Josh Katas also down there. So it'll be a ton of content, but the UK stuff will be later in the week. So that's just me as a fan. I would want to hear from Calzada. He's going to be our quarterback. He's the leader of the offense. Why is he not down on SEC Media Days?
Starting point is 00:34:54 I have nothing against the three picks they have. Those are very true. Three of the most experienced guys on the team, veterans. Alex Safari has been playing since he went to UK orientation. He's been on the field. Katas, same way, love it. But I did think they'd send someone new. I thought they might do two returners,
Starting point is 00:35:11 and then one portal guy, just to introduce maybe a Calzada. You've got Braun as a lineman getting a lot of attention, especially now he's the highest rated guy on the video game that just came out. With all these new pieces, I thought they'd send one, but they gave it to all the returners, which there's nothing wrong with that. I thought it might go a different direction. 100% nothing wrong with the three guys.
Starting point is 00:35:31 But just for me again, as a fan. We're trying to introduce him. He has yet to meet with us. We don't know really a whole lot about him. I would get me more excited about the season if my quarterback was up there telling me, hey man, we got this, we got that, we're going to do this, we're going to do that. That's what I needed to hear, I agree. It could be the case with so many people wanting some positivity from how last year ended.
Starting point is 00:35:56 Maybe they want some people that were on last year's team to sit up there and speak on how things are different, how the attitudes change. But if I were in charge, I would have had the quarterback out there just to at least go ahead and start getting them out in front of the spotlight. Because the quarterback position the last couple of years has kind of struggle a little bit, Vandergriff, Leary, even Levis's second year. I think for this team to be good, Calzada has to be good this year. He's the leader in the face of our offense. I will say, oh, look at this guy. Look who showed up. Oh, my goodness.
Starting point is 00:36:26 The most famous band member of Alice Bluegown just showed up in our show. Cliff is here in the house. Shannon playing golf. That doesn't surprise me. With a tucked-in polo, you're... It's popped out of nowhere. Your bass guitarist is in here looking like a PGA golfer. He's much better at golf than I am.
Starting point is 00:36:47 I can guarantee you that. I thought he was going to say he's a much better golfer than a base player. He didn't say that. No, no, no. He didn't say that. He didn't say that. One thing on the football stuff, put a bow on that, I got the new video game that came out last week. I was a little late to play it, but I played a little bit on Saturday.
Starting point is 00:37:02 I saw that. It kind of made me excited. It's a video game. It was made by nerds on a computer. It kind of got me excited for the season. And I know these virtual players have no impact. on the actual players what will happen. But Stilato, the receiver,
Starting point is 00:37:20 might be the best football player of all time, according to my one round of playing South Carolina. Well, didn't you lose in overtime, though? I did. Here's how accurate the game is. I'm playing South Carolina. I'm Kentucky, playing against South Carolina. We gave up 14 points in the final minute and a half of first half.
Starting point is 00:37:38 Oh, boy. So we had a little stoops ball. The game's accurate there. But I recover an onsite in the end. Stilato sends us to overtime. and in Kentucky football fashion I fumbled on the goal line and OT and lost to South Carolina and walk off field goal.
Starting point is 00:37:51 Video game talk is boring, I know, but the point of this is to say I had all of the emotions of Kentucky football this past Saturday playing that dang game. It did help me with excitement around just some of the new guys. I know it's a video game. It sounds stupid, but it was a lot of fun
Starting point is 00:38:07 throwing the rock from Calzada to Law and some of the new players from the portal. Who is the star running back for Kentucky? Oh, you cannot stop, doubt. Actually, I went pretty deep. I used my four deep. I like them all. Even Patterson had a long kick in turn.
Starting point is 00:38:22 But Dante Dowdell from Nebraska, maybe the best player on the game. He's the man. And I cannot wait to form all these opinions about these guys from something created by EA sports and then get mad at them in the fall when they're not as good. But I did have fun playing that over the weekend. Starting to get the juices flow of media days. That's out. We're under 50 days away from kickoff.
Starting point is 00:38:42 You know, is it any disrespect that Kentucky's the law? last team on the last day when most media people are probably going to leave? I think Stoops requests that. It was last when I went last year, two years ago. Whenever I went, he was last then. It can't be a coincidence. They keep putting him last. I think most
Starting point is 00:39:00 veteran guy there, I think he says I'm going Thursday. Put me in the back. And they won't announce the all SEC teams until after he's done, right? Yeah, from experience when you're that Thursday, a lot of people have already covered the guys are there to cover. By Thursday, that room that's just completely filled with reporters. It starts thinning out on that last day.
Starting point is 00:39:18 So if it gets on home. It's going to be Luckett Roush and John Hale? Yeah. Everybody's got to save money on their hotel. They leave Wednesday night unless their coach is Thursday. So it'll be a smaller group for Stoops. All right, well, take our break, come back, go to the phone lines.

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.
Starting point is 00:41:03 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, or are you a good person because you're afraid? Because that's two different intentions, bro.

Starting point is 00:42:57 Like, I've never understood that. Like, it didn't make sense in my brain. It's hard to be in spaces that no one looks like you, but don't ever feel like you don't feel on. Don't let that be the reason you don't do it. An Olympic champs Gabby Thomas and Katie Ledecki. The ability to show a gold medal to someone and have their face light. up and smile.

This is our Whiskey Thief Song of the Day, our Whiskey Thief Song of the Week. A little Darius Rucker beers and Sunshine. I like Whiskey Thief and Sunshine would be good, too. Puts me in a good mood.
Starting point is 00:43:56 Then I've got to talk about my don'ts here. I'm going to pull a Matt. Pull your mic up. Do I need to reach over and do it like he does to you? Yeah, there is right there. There you go. So Corey Price and Leanne Clark found the box score from the Boyle County State Championship football game against Rock Castle County. Was it in Canton in the Hall of Fame?
Starting point is 00:44:13 2001. I was a little off, but not far off. All right, so tell me about this big game. Jacob Tammy against Rockcastle County had two touchdown catches. Okay. All right. Well, he's probably done that a lot. Through a touchdown pass. Okay, I can believe that.
Starting point is 00:44:30 And he also had an interception. For a touchdown? No. And Rock Castle was up 42 to nothing at halftime in the state championship game against Rockcastle County. You mean Boyle was up? Boyle. So I said he ran one back, had an interception back, a punt return back. I knew he had an interception.
Starting point is 00:44:50 I think he had a really long punt return. Maybe he got called back. Maybe he was a touchdown and got called back. I thought for sure he ran for a touchdown too that day. Just, you know, it's what legends are made of. Yeah, I told Jacob during the commercial, he should hire you to just tell his stories from his past. But he did confirm him getting hit and coming down on his head. Like a torpedo straight out of him.
Starting point is 00:45:10 Like a torpedo. Like a torpedo. He was up like six feet in the sky and bam, like a torpedo straight down. he's hit. But the interception touchdown, not exactly historically accurate. Not a touchdown. Okay, and the punt return touchdown, not exactly. I think that got called back. I think he had one. He got called back. I could tell by his face when you were rolling,
Starting point is 00:45:27 rattling off all these stats, and he looked very confused. But just keep talking about the legend of Tammy. The legend that Jacob Tammy, the former L.EX-18, high school sports zone player of the year. All right, 859-2-2-287. Shannon says we got a caller. Who we got, Shannon? Alan. Alan, go ahead, Alan. Hey, how you guys doing?
Starting point is 00:45:44 Long-time listener, first-time caller. Appreciate that, Alan. Hey, I just wanted to ask you guys, do you think with this coming team, with the Pope coming out with the focus on conditioning, do you think our defense is going to start employing more of a full-court press, Ala Petino, when he played? Appreciate it, Alan, thanks to the phone call. I mean, I think they've definitely put an emphasis on conditioning,
Starting point is 00:46:09 and Pope made no secret about it. couple times he's talked to the media and said things. And you hear some of the players talk about how it's been rough here in the summer doing conditioning work. Whether that translate to a press, I don't know. I just think after one year in the SEC, Pope realized we've got to be in better condition and we've got to be tougher. I think it was kind of an eye-opening experience playing one season through the SEC.
Starting point is 00:46:32 Yeah, it sounds like he's channeling the old Patino behind the scenes in summer conditioning. You know, there were some Ron Lemon, like, legend-like stories of throwing up in trash cans and how much they'd make them run, some stuff that's hard to believe. And we're starting to hear that now of what guys are having to do in these summer weeks. As far as pressing, I would like to see a little bit of it. I don't know that they'll ever do it like Petino did, just because the games change so much. Teams can beat the pressel easier.
Starting point is 00:46:57 You got more ball handlers on the court. You know, back of Tino days, there'd be guys that couldn't dribble on the floor. Now, players are a little able to beat it better, but, I mean, it would still work a little bit. I actually wanted to try it last season just for a throwback before they were so beat up. But now with so many guards next year and so many bodies, I wouldn't mind him throwing it out there a few times, throw teams off. That's the thing.
Starting point is 00:47:16 He's got the bodies to do it this year. Yeah, definitely. My only hesitation would be not a lot of depth at point guard, and you need him on the floor this season. Don't want him out of gas. So maybe that would be one reason. Maybe they wouldn't press as much because they need low on the floor as much as possible. But he's got five or six guards out there that could definitely put on a press if he wanted to.
Starting point is 00:47:36 Heck, yeah, it won't be the Patino Press that we all remember from those, those years but I hope he'll give it a little try. Pick him up full court for time of time. 859-2-8-7. That's our phone number if you want to call and get on board. So it was about this time Friday, I was throwing in the towel on the donut challenge. In fact, before you go on, Cliff here, you didn't hear this.
Starting point is 00:47:58 He submitted a call during the break even though he's here in person. Okay, what was it? Cliff just wanted to let you know how disappointed he is. You had headphones on as we were starting, but he's one of many. Thanks, Cliff. So carry on. While you're looking at him in the eyes. All weekend, people were giving me the sad eye look,
Starting point is 00:48:13 like they were so disappointed in my efforts. I'm telling you guys, Shannon, Drew, I knew I was in trouble on the first donut. The very first one was so dense and so thick, and it took me so many chews to get one donut down. Shannon, I knew I was in trouble. I thought you knew you were in trouble the moment you opened up that box and saw how big those donuts were. Well, that is true.
Starting point is 00:48:32 Because that's the moment that I said, you got no chance after seeing those donuts. So a guy Drew sent me a graphic. said that each Jeff's donut is equivalent to two regular glazed donuts in far as density and weight. I can believe that. So in that case, I ate 16 donuts. No, no, no. You ate 8.5. I ate the equivalent of 16 donuts.
Starting point is 00:48:54 I even think the 8 and a half is a little exaggeration. Yeah, I give it probably 8. I would say 7.8. 7.5. Because I crammed out of what was remaining into a ball. I thought I could cramming it my mouth. I was wondering what you were thinking there in that moment because the size of that donut ball that you rolled up was, bigger than a softball and there was no way that was going in your mouth. So what were you thinking?
Starting point is 00:49:14 I was running out of time. You know, I'm trying to hit a game winning three-pointer at the end of the game and this didn't work for me. I'll show you what else I should have done. Dip them in water from the very beginning. That helped. That's when I got my mojo going. Dante's yelling at me over the fence and got a little mojo going.
Starting point is 00:49:29 I was dipping them in the water. I should have done that from the very start. Yeah, I think you should have too. I agree. The other thing on a technicality, you know, you just had to have that in your mouth. I don't think you could have just like reach down like a dog and just grab that big ball of donut
Starting point is 00:49:43 and just had it like hanging out of your mouth and I think that would that have counted I think it might have it would have been out of your hands at that point. Well, but I still had a mouthful of donut from the previous house donut. That's right, yeah. I couldn't get that down fast enough
Starting point is 00:49:58 to get the new ball of donut goo in my mouth. I knew you're in trouble when you were exactly on pace three minutes in. Yeah. Because you weren't going to maintain that first donut pace. So you were behind the math pretty early. You needed to get ahead of the pace.
Starting point is 00:50:14 But I couldn't. That first donut was so dry, and it was so dense and thick. I knew I was in trouble. I told people you almost had it, but also never really had it. Like you were close at the end, but at no point did I ever think you were actually going to pull it off. I think, Shannon, two more minutes. Two more minutes. I think I would have got it.
Starting point is 00:50:30 Well, yeah, two more minutes, but that wasn't the bet. And the bet, let's not forget, the bet already changed. The bet went from 10 donuts and 10 minutes. to 15 minutes, and then Matt trying to make it 20 minutes. So, you know, the bet was what it was. You didn't win. You were close.

Felt fine after that. Well, I got a text that night that said you're at Drake's. You know, I have little spies all over Lexington.
Starting point is 00:52:05 I know where people are moving and shaking at all times. Why were you at Drake's at 9 o'clock? Well, I was hungry.
