Now here's Matt Jones. Welcome, everyone, Kentucky Sports Radio Thursday, August the 14th. I am Matt Jones, two weeks before my birthday. That's exciting. Actually, it's not exciting. As you get older, it becomes less and less exciting. You're sneaking up on 40.

Yep, going to be there in about five years. You can give a shot on the Clark's Puppet Shop phone line. It is Ask Anything Thursday. 859-280-2287. A Vision Auto Glass Text Machine is 772-724-2524 in this edition, sponsored by the T.J. Smith office, you call T.J. I'll make them pay. I'm here with Drew and Shannon. Tomorrow we are at the State Fair.

I am told that we would love to have you stop by the booth. Hang out, say hi. There will be no chairs. That's important. You're more than welcome to come. and see, but there will be no chairs. There is a, it's the first time we've ever had a remote with a no chair announcement, but a no chair announcement.

So just keep that in mind. If you stop by and you want to come, you can maybe even bring a chair. But just keep that in mind. Don't be expecting a chair. Yep. Standing room only event. It's that big of a deal. I saw a book of Mormon in a standing room only ticket.

So it's not that bad if you want to come stand for a few hours. The whole place was only, I stood up. You stood up or the whole place stood up? I bought a standing ticket. Point being, what's a couple hours on your feet to see a great show? Book of Mormon's great. I've seen it in, I've seen it in four different cities. I've seen it in New York, London, Louisville, and Chicago.

Were you just a stage hand on the tour? I would just be there and it would be on and I didn't know what else to do. I was like, oh, I'll go to that because it's fun. Yeah, 85.9-2-8-2287 is ask anything Wednesday. You can ask any question UK sports related or otherwise I'm going to talk a lot of

of sports tomorrow and some today but I have to tell you I am this is a bad decision by me okay I like to tell us that ahead of time I know it's a bad decision

but I'm starting to believe in the Reds Oh the Red I thought you're going to say Kentucky football. I'm not to that level of bad decision yet. By the way, I did see the guy who said 10 and 2. Remember the guy called and he said there was like blue in my ear?

Blueer than you. Bluer than you podcast. And a guy said 10 and 2. Bluer than you podcast does not exist. But there is a guy who has some podcast. I don't know if it's called lovely Kentucky or something. It's some form of. of words in blue in Kentucky.

He was going through this, and he had us at 10 and 2. So that person did exist. I think the caller said lots of people. I saw one. But he did have it. Good for him. What are the two? I guess Texas?

Georgia? I think he thought that we would squeak one loss to Texas and then squeak one loss at Georgia. Okay. But the other 10, I think he thought Shannon were golden. We're going on the championship then. That's what he thought. So, you know, so that guy did have a response. All right, so I shouldn't believe in the Reds, but there are only a game back now.

And I came to the realization, and the Mets are reeling. They were playing your Braves. They were up six nothing last night. We ended up losing 11-6. That's right. On TV, too. You're very welcome. I thank you for that.

They play again tonight. Reds are off, so we're going to need you to do it again. But this is what I've realized more than even believing in them. I think they are quickly becoming my third favorite team of my non-Kentucky sports lifetime. Okay. So Kentucky Sports, if you were to rank my favorite teams, probably take up the top 30 positions. And I mean like by year, right? So like you could say my favorite teams have been the 92 Kentucky team, the 2010 Kentucky team,

the 2015, 2003. Those are kind of the four for me that always, and then I liked, so 92, 92 will always be one, 2010 will always be two. 12 you were on the floor when the confetti was falling. It was, and then 96 is great, 15's great. 03, Bogan's and those guys I loved.

But so if you're going to have, and then there's football, right? There's the 2007 team with Stevie got loose and all that. They're going to take my top 30. But when you get to non-Kentucky teams, it's the 85 Bears, because it's the first thing I remember as a kid was watching, we didn't come here to Feathers Ruffle, we just came to do the Super Bowl shuffle, right? Then probably second is the Braves teams of my youth,

the, you know, Sid Bream, Francisco Cabaret. 92. Winning all the divisions. Yeah, I mean, I just, you're a kid, right? You get that excited, et cetera. This is now number three, I think. The Carolina Hurricanes have had a couple that were there, but this is now number three. And I think it's, I like all of the guy.

I have nicknames for them. What? We know. We hear some of them. I mean, first of all, Ellie, Ellie is my favorite athlete, non-Kentucky since Walter Payton. It's a big accomplishment for him. No, he, what's wrong with it? He's fun.

He hits. He runs. He feet. He gets in run. He's young. He's the future. He's young. Gets and run downs.

He has a song. Ellie de la Cruz. He has that song. He gets cotton pickles. Okay, nobody needs to talk about your strikeout. Striking out is okay. Like, no, we can't be perfect in this world, Shannon. I think we need to accept people for their failures.

I, and then there's very few people I hate on the team. They got rid of Conner. That's rare. You usually despise about two or three of them. Not a huge Espinall guy. Not a huge. huge Ashcraft guy. But you know what? If they were here, Shannon,

I'd be nice to him. I wouldn't cuss him out. Isn't there a guy named Scuzz or something on the team? I love the Scuzz bucket. Yeah. Okay. Scott Barlow, he looks like he, you know, he looks like he's been hanging out in the backstage of a metal show at Manchester Music Hall.

My friends and I have created a whole alter ego life for Scott Barlow. Look him up on Wikipedia. First of all, everybody should look up, Scott Burrell just to see what he looks like. Just look at it. On Wikipedia, and I can't prove this, it says, and I'm assuming it's true and nobody needs to correct me,

that he lives in a camper van during the season. Okay? I see it. It wouldn't be on Wikipedia if it wasn't true. It says he lives in a camper van in Cincinnati during the season. Come on. How can you not like the Scuz bucket out there? He lives in a camper.

This is a major league baseball player. and he's living in a camper van down by the river. You don't believe that, do you? I believe. Why would it be on Wikipedia if it wasn't true? I'm looking at it. He lives on a boat. Does it not say that?

He has a Cribs episode on YouTube. He has a Cribs episode on YouTube? It's when he was with the Royals, but I assume it's the same camper. You're telling me there's a tour of his camper van on MLB.com. Here it is. All right. Goodbye, everybody. Now I know Mario what I'm watching after the show.

I'm watching Scott Barlow. He missed part of the show. the season to fly to New Mexico to watch his baby be born with his wife. Why are they getting born in New Mexico? Who knows? Probably because they live out in the desert and that's where they want to go. How about his wife living in the camper? She lives there too during the season. She's not even fishing on the team. They live in a camper van. Here they are. I'm watching the video right now. So my friends and I've created this whole alter ego about him. Like when we were in Pittsburgh, we said he had to leave the game early because he was going to float on a log back to

Cincinnati. He didn't even take the team playing. He's got his dogs there with them. I mean, it's a nice camper van. Isn't it a nice? It is nice, yeah. Okay, so that he's on the team. You got Little Spencer Steer. He's just a whittled. And then he hits the ball really far. Sure he loves that. He does. And then we got new guys. We got a guy named Key Brine. He's been good. Not just Brian, Key Brine. Yep. Has he hitting well, though. Yeah, so far. So far. I know when you got him, that was a question. And then they got the pitchers, Hunter Green, Nick Ladolo, Andrew Abbott.

got the chase burns. So I, I, I, it's fun. This is what I like about it, Drew. It's fun to be joyous about a sports team and not just be nervous all the time. Like they won last night. It's just fun. Kentucky, there's so much stress when they play for me. I'm thinking, oh, what if we lose? What am I going to say on the post game show? What are we going to do on the bar? Oh, can I be critical? Am I going to be too critical? I have to do all that. With this, I can just scream out scuzz bucket. And everything is exciting. I see the Brewers are in your way. We play the best team.

We play the best team in baseball this weekend. They have owned, since I've had season tickets, I don't think we've beaten the Brewers one game ever. I've watched them. I've probably seen them beat the Reds 15 times. So I'm going to assume we're going to lose this weekend. But if we win, think about how exciting that is. Oddly, though, on a 12-game win streak, I start playing odds.

It's got to end sometime. Let's talk about that 12-game win streak, because this is kind of interesting, Shannon. There's a burger place in Milwaukee. Did you read about this? No, I haven't seen this. So there's a burger place in Milwaukee called like Milwaukee Burgers. It's got a name.

And they have since 1913 had a promotion that if the Brewers won 12 straight, everyone in Milwaukee gets a free hamburger. Oh, wow. Okay? It's only happened once, like 1977. And they gave away 170,000 hamburgers. So last night, the Brewers had to win for everyone in the Milwaukee to get hamburgers. The Milwaukee players said they were genuinely nervous about the game. Everywhere they went, people were like, I want my burger.

Don't screw up. And they went out and they won. And so now everyone who lives in Milwaukee gets a free hamburger. Now, the restaurant said, this is going to take a little while to plan. How many hamburgers do you think will end up getting eaten, knowing that in 1973 or whatever, it was 170,000? They're getting thousands. And they've got to lean into it.

They're getting more than thousands. I'm getting sponsors. I have an event. I mean, I've got signage on the side of my building from the local bank. I'm turning this into the biggest thing I can. I'll say 30,000 burgers. Oh, they're going to get. If they got 170,073, this is going to be.

Oh, I've glossed over that. I'm just trying to think how many you could possibly make in a small store in one day. First of all, I don't know how long they have. But, Shannon, I'm thinking more like in today's world where everyone will know, you know, it's hard to get people to know probably back there. So the population of Milwaukee is a little over half a million, okay? So start there. I bet the metro area is bigger than that.

But go ahead. I'm going to say around half of Milwaukee, maybe a little bit less, maybe a little bit less than half in Milwaukee. We'll go and get. So I'm going to say like 240, something like it. I'm with you. This is a 240 to $250,000 burger promotion. I'm looking at them. They're in a little shopping center. They're in a shopping center. Yeah, it's not a big place. So I don't even know. I think you imagine the lines for that.

But let's just say they, 250,000 burgers, that's going to cost them a half million dollars. It's going to cost you half a day to get it too. I think I'd rather go spend four or five dollars and buy it. Well, they said they'll do it over a period of time. Okay. I don't know how you prove that everybody just gets one burger like I don't know how it works. I don't think it's going to be made to order. I think you do one day and flip as many as you can. You're just going to throw them at people wherever they are. He's going to throw in a toilet paper at people.

That's exactly right, except if you're going to hit people in the head with a hamburger. So they're going to come and they're going to get that. So I think that's a cool promotion, but they play the brewers this weekend. I'm just going ahead and tell you, I think they probably get swept. But if we win two of three on Monday, you're going to hear like I'm going to start to completely believe. You're not

getting swept. It's like roulette when you walk up and all of them are red. At that some point a black's going to hit. They're not going to win 15 in a row. We haven't been swept all year. The only team in baseball has not been swept all year. Just for the record. To Drew's point, then at some point you are going to get swept because at some point it's going to happen. I don't need that negativity

on my team. I'm not on the team. But like Shannon, I mean, I know every, like I don't know I know more players on the Reds than I do UK football if I'm being honest with you Like I know the whole roster I even know the AAA team

You can know that they live in vans I know they live in yes The bats are reloaded right now with players I don't recognize myself As to how into baseball I am Shannon You've been to love it I love this

It's not so much of baseball I'm a Reds fan I still don't know who's on the other teams But the Reds play baseball So you're a baseball band Like somebody asks me They're playing the Brewers Who's on the Brewers?

I don't don't know one person on the Brewers. Robin Yant, Paul Molitor, I think that's really, that's all I know. Craig Consul. You don't know one player on the Nichols basketball team either, but you're still a Kentucky basketball fan. That's true. And I say to Nichols State.

Same thing. I say to Nichol State, eat it. And I'm now as red-tastic as you could be. 859, at least until Monday when I'll be, Summer Valley to be over again. 859-2-2-2287. Text machine is 772, 77525. Would you go get the free burger, by the way? Would you go fight the masses to get it?

Depends on how long it's going to take. If I can do it quickly, yes. If I got to stay in line for longer than 20 minutes. I would love, though, to do a sports show in Milwaukee and be like out front. Oh, just set up right there. And set up right there. I mean, it would be, that would be an unbelievable thing to watch happen, don't you think? Oh, yeah.

But as far as getting in line, I'll just buy the burger the next day for normal price. We'll take a break. Barry Back's KSR. Last night, a blown call changed a game.

Welcome back, Tegi Sports Radio. One person writes on the text machine, 772, 774, 5254. With Ryan gone, is Drew Plain Ryan. How did he say 30,000 burgers after you at the United States? I know how you do it. I know how you do it. No, no, this is very easy. You were on your little message thread.

That's what happened. You didn't hear me say a hundred and seventy thousand. Hold on. Let me defend myself. Yes, you did. No, there's several locations doing 100,000. I bet one store is not doing more than 30,000. You didn't hear me. No, no, no. Let me defend myself. No, no, no, no, no, he didn't. I did, absolutely. But you did not say there are several locations. One shopping store cannot make more than 30,000 a day. He didn't hear it. He didn't hear it. He glossed over it. He said he glossed over it. He said he glossed over it. He said, shed over it. Let me defend my damn prediction. One store cannot make more than 30,000. There are several stores involved making 100,000. Mine is even high.

Thank you. He glossed over. Apparently, they're not just giving it to everybody in Milwaukee. They're giving it to everyone in Wisconsin. If I had had that detail, I would not have said 30,000. I thought one grill and one shopping center. But see, if he had heard me say 170,000 earlier. Yeah.

Can everybody in Wisconsin, what's the population of Wisconsin? That's millions of people. Right? Got to be. Yeah, 5.8 million. 5.8 million burgers? There's no way.

There's no way. It says they're preparing for 100,000. Well, that's a 4. 000 for 5. So again, you all have extremely, extremely high predictions for one location. If they did 170 last time, I'm just telling you,

if they have 5.8 million people shed in, then they're only planning for 100,000. They're in trouble. They are in trouble. Yeah. I mean, that's going to be a, a promotion to go to the rest of the year. Oh, they're going to make them everywhere. They're going to make, this is going to be very, very exciting. Have a burger printer. What person writes, Matt, the show

that Shannon is feuding with talked more about him yesterday. Again, said that he could kiss, they could kiss his ass. I think he just wants me to do that. He does. I think he's got like, you know, here's what I learned yesterday. Okay, I knew, I knew that the cut man would do what the cut man does. He's getting some attention. I'm fine with that. You know what? He's 93 years old. I'm glad for him. No, I'm glad. He's a legend in Kentucky sports.

I'm glad for him to get some attention. Here's what I've learned, though. Twitter, if you put my name or KSR into your tweet, I think the algorithm boosts it because these random accounts will mention us, and then all of a sudden they'll have like 300 likes. And so, like, that's, you know, that's just what happens. And so they're going to, so I understand why people. do it. I also think it's funny, though, like he zooms in on you, Shannon. Normally, I'm the

controversial. Right. Yeah. Or Ryan, people make fun of him. This is all Shannon. This is 93-year-old Cutler versus STD. And I love it. I want that in a steel cage. It's been the best week for his show since its existence. People actually know it exists now. It's awareness. Like, we're bringing awareness to his show. We are. That's what fires him up. It's the no one listens that Shannon. That's what really makes him mad. That's what really makes him mad. Sometimes the truth makes you mad. It clearly makes him mad when you say that.

And I get it. I'll say it again then. Did you watch, what person writes a text machine? Ask anything Thursday. Were any of you part of the 1.4 million people that watch the Taylor Swift podcast live? It's the second most watched live podcast of all time. I looked this morning. It has 9.8 million people have already watched it.

The record of all time for podcast. is $144 million, and it's a Saudi Arabian love podcast. What? I'm not kidding you. We thought it was Kat Williams, Shannon Sharp, or Joe Rogan, Donald Trump. It is a South, or excuse me, Saudi Arabian love podcast where a Saudi Arabian guy tells men how to love their wives. I'm not kidding you. That is the most watch podcast, 144 million.

Kat Williams is second with Stan Starper. And that's like 75. So it's like double the highest one. So my prediction was all said and done. They will pass Shannon Sharp and Kat Williams. I don't think they're going to catch the Saudi Arabian love podcast because there's so many people that live in the rest of the world. We forget the rest of the world's pretty big, Drew, right? And we just think it's all America.

When I heard 144 million people watch the Saudi Arabian Love podcast, first of all, I want to see the Saudi Arabian Love podcast. But are you surprised by that? Yeah. I had them a shattering Kat Williams record. I didn't know about this Saudi love show. They're not going to catch the Saudi love shack. I wasn't part of the $1.3 million. I got on before it got to $1.3 million.

I was part of like the $900,000. So I watched the whole podcast live last night. It was long. It was. I was wondering if it was going to end. They talk about. They talk a lot about her music. And I had it on while I was doing other stuff.

I was in it for Jason Kelsey. The Kelsey's are nice, though. Like they seem like I've, Kelsey's I was completely. wrong about. I thought, especially Travis, I thought he was a complete dull, seemed like a goober, and I actually think they seem like pretty good dudes, to be honest with you. And I think they'd be fun to hang out with. My favorite part was just Jason budding in with the dumbest questions or stories. Like at the Bill's game, he just took a baby and brought it to the suite to meet Taylor, and they're like, whose baby is that? He's like, I don't know. I just grabbed it on the way over.

But it was good. But they're not going to catch the Saudi love podcast. They're not. Let's go to Trevor. Go ahead, Trevor. Hey, Matt, all the talk about JMI yesterday got me thinking I'm a huge UFC fan. And they just signed a multi-billion dollar multi-year new TV deal. But they also just went through a big antitrust monopoly lawsuit. Has there ever been anything filed or do you foresee now that there's so much money moving around the NCAA of the NCAA, potentially going through something like that, like a monopoly or anything like that? Yeah, they have been accused of being a monopoly before and they won the lawsuit.

I think it was kind of a I think it was an odd decision. Basically, the court said, well, you can go play NAA. They said that was the competition, which is not really true. But I think they've survived the monopoly lawsuits before.

By the way, it was interesting. The JMI contract came out, and it's actually not as big a raise in money as I thought, or as any of us thought. It's not the 15 years, 460s, $465 million includes the nine years that was already signed and the money that was. So it's really only extended the deal for six years. So it's 15, and it's not $465 million just for the 15 years.

It's $465 million for the total of the contract going back to 2015. So as I understand it, our money went up from $14 million a year to like $19 million a year, which is more, but is not what I thought it was, which was 31 million a year. And in 15 years, that's not going to be what it is now either. Yeah, it might not be the same amount of money. So it was interesting, if you go read the wording of the press release, it's worded to kind of mislead you a little bit about how much money it is. But, you know, it is more money than it was by a decent amount.

But it's not only as much as we thought it was when we said it the first time. We just need them to get players. 8, 5, 9, 2, 802. Yeah, as long as you get the players. None of it matters. 859-280-2287. Be right back. T.J. Smith, personal injury attorney.

Call T.J. He'll make them pay. Now, more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones. She also said that, Shannon, that she didn't understand the rules of football and that she thought all the players played against each other.

So I guess Travis Kelsey introduced her to Jared Gough and Josh Allen. And she thought, Shannon, that they play to get, like they hit each other, even though they're both quarterbacks. And she said, I wondered who would win. And then, like, that's obviously not what happens. I do think there's a lot of women, though, that are like that.

I appreciate that she admits it. Yeah. I mean, one of my ex-girlfriends knew literally nothing about sports when I started dating or said when we started was like, why do they stop? Why do they stop? In football. She was like, why do they stop? And I said, what do you mean?

And she's like, they run for a little bit. and then they stop, everybody falls down and gets up. And if you don't know the rules, you can see how it looks like that, Shannon, right? They just stop. Yeah, if you don't understand that when somebody gets tackled, the play is over and you reset, you may ask that. But I would think that, you know, he would explain it to her. She says she knows now. Okay.

She says she even mentioned the name of our podcast, Cover Zero. She did. It's one of the things that she knew. Yeah, she's talking about how she's so into it now that when they draft Xavier Worthy, She's like texting her group chat. We got Xavier Worthy and they're like, Tyler, what are you talking about? How did you know who Xavier Worthy? All right, we got some breaking news.

Uh-oh. Running on nah. All right, so this is someone writing me, telling me what Mark Pope said in an interview with Matt Norland. So to be fair, I have not heard this interview and 606-465 is giving these facts. So I'm going to assume 606-4-65 is saying, the right thing. Because the interview just came out like a couple hours ago. But if they're not, it's not my fault, 606-465. Here's what 606-465 says. Mark Pope did an hour-long interview with Matt and Orlando on YouTube. Here were some of the highlights. Yellowvich will be on campus by

tomorrow. I believe that. Yep. That's kind of been hinted in other places. Jaden Quaitens failed his driver's test. Believe that too, but that's unfortunate. Mario's laughing. I mean, we saw him, we saw the video. Yeah. There were reports that he didn't take it. Jay, this is 606-465, says he failed his driver's test. Jack had a good source that said he just wasn't able to take it yet. So maybe Pope's throwing him under the bus.

Maybe Pope is throwing him under the bus. Back in order. He, this says Norlander said in the interview that Kentucky lost one player in the portal class because they got out spent. That is definitely true on one. I think it might be true on two, but they definitely got out spent on the kid that went to Indiana. Yeah, that was the one where Ryan was so confident.

And as much we like to make fun of Ryan, Indiana did come through at the last minute and take that one. Might even hire his assistant or his coach as an assistant at one point. That was an option. I think they also, Donovan Dent, the kid that went to New Mexico. I don't know if they got outspent, but they were surprised. He committed to Kentucky and then ended up going to UCLA. I think the UK people found out when the announcement came out.

So they were a little surprised. And then finally, Hawthorne is redshirted. Is that? I didn't know that. I didn't know people redshirted anymore, to be honest. I mean, that's a guy that would be good for him. I don't expect to play much. Again, this is not me saying it's 606-4-65.

But is that possible? I mean, I guess it's possible if Yelovich gets here, you got 13 guys. I mean, it'd be good for him. He's very thin right now. Even though he's looked a little flashy in some of the summer videos, I don't know if he's quite ready for this level. So, I mean, like I said, I didn't know people still redshirted, but yeah, if there's a got to do it, it's him.

He's a long-term project. So, yeah. So those are the 606-465 notes about the Mark Pope interview with Matt Norlander. I'm sure within the next few minutes, people will have checked and will confirm or deny those comments. Yellow of it you citing. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I'm glad he's just to be here.

He's here. He's here, but does that mean he's good to go? I would think he wouldn't come over here unless he was going to play. Although Ennis did, but that was a long time. Yeah, we'll see. James, go ahead, James. Hey, guys, how y'all doing today? Doing good. So my question to you all is, it's about the Champions Classic.

It actually falls on my birthday this year, and I've made the decision to spend a good chunk of change for tickets. Okay. So do you all know, do y'all have like a ballpark for how much, like, good to great seats go for? At the Champions Classic, so that's in the Garden, right? Yes, sir. Yeah, you know, they're not as bad as you would think. I mean, you're picking New York, so it'll be the most expensive one that they'll do. of it. But I would say

if you just want to get in the building, they won't be too bad. If you want to sit down low, it's New York City. Duke is playing there. Duke has a ton of grads there. So I think it's going to be expensive. I would guess, Drew, this is just a guess.

$400 to $600 a ticket down low. For a good one. Yeah. Right now I'm on stubbub. Upper levels are about $250. That'll go down, though. That'll go down. My best advice would be your hotel is going to be surprisingly more than you think it's going to be. Somebody who goes a lot. Here's your choices on hotel.

If you want to stay, this is my Matt Jones hotel advice. There are, you can stay in Times Square at hotels that will disappoint you for an okay price. But if you want to have a nice place, just go out to the edges of the city and stay. like in Queens or in Brooklyn or something like that. When you try to get a nice hotel in Manhattan, like just forget it. Don't you agree with that? Yeah, this is a little, I don't know how Christmas they are on November 18th. Oh, that's true. I've already looked for this event.

And I mean, they're outrageous, even by New York standards. So I wish you well on the ticket. But be careful with that hotel too. It's going to sneak up on you if you haven't worked. Book the hotel before the ticket because the hotel will rise exponentially in price. The tickets will probably stay very similar to what they are now. Okay. See, my mother-in-law

lives right outside the Bronx, so I don't even have to worry about that. Oh, then you're good. You're good, crazy. Yeah. Then splurge on the ticket. I'm going to say $5 to $600. That's what I'm going to get. That's just my guess. Appreciate the call.

Bob and Jamestown. Go for it. Matt, what do you think about this cashless entertainment policies now that's anymore? when you want to go out to the sporting events, music, whatever, and it's all cashless credit card only. Yeah, I mean, I get it.

I think it's, I understand why people want to do it. I appreciate the call. You don't have to deal with cash. If you don't have to deal with cash as a business owner, then you don't, it's harder for people to steal. So I think that's part of it. Your employees, it's much harder to steal. So I think that's why a lot of people want it.

You do have to, though, like in New York, it's illegal to not take cash. because it discriminates against people who don't have the money for a credit card. Right? So if you're poor, you might not be able to get a credit card. You might not be able to get a bank debit card that gives you access. So like in New York, it's actually illegal not to take cash. I don't know if that's true in Kentucky. I think in Kentucky, if somebody doesn't want to take cash, they can.

I mean, Rupp arenas cashless. Yeah. So I used to think everything should be cashless. And then I thought about what it would be like to live if you couldn't, didn't have access to a card. And I think that is kind of discriminatory to not give people the ability to do cash. The other thing is, do we want to make it in America where every financial transaction goes through one of like three companies? You know what I mean? Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and I guess what, Discover or something?

You want to make it to where every single financial transaction we do, four companies get to take a share of. of, Shannon, that doesn't seem a hundred percent right, you know? Right. Yeah. Yeah. I think maybe it's just quicker, too, for a lot of these places to be able to just scan a card and move on. It is.

But if you were mayor, would you say that places should have to take cash? Yeah, for the reason that you just laid out there, like not everybody. We think that everybody has cards, but not everybody does. There are some people who don't have cards and still only carry cash. Now, that might be a very, very small percentage, but those people do still exist who don't have cards. and what about them? It's quicker right now until you're behind the person that didn't know it's cashless

and they're like, well, how do I pay? And that is still out there. There are people that get paid in cash. Yeah. What about them? Okay. What about the strippers? That's right.

Yeah. What about them? Look at Matt standing up for the strippers. But I mean, there's a lot of people that get paid in cash. And there's a lot. And there, it's like a weight tables when you leave, your pockets are full of cash. It's a hidden part of. society, unfortunately, but like you can't just exclude those people from the economy.

So like when Rupp Arena did that, to be fair, probably people that go to Rup would have cards, etc. But I am sure there are people that go to Rupp Arena that for whatever reason only have cash on them. And it's, you know, so I understand why people want to do it. But I actually think it's a bad policy. It's like a lot of policies it forgets the poor. And eventually people get used to it, but older people right now. I mean, I've seen it all. the time at rep. I know people, they're shocked when you say card only. It's almost like they don't know what to do. Like, well, what do you mean you can't? What do you can't take my $20 bill? No, that's a good point. Like, if you're taking my grandmother, and if she had lived till now,

she wouldn't have known what to do in those scenarios. So yeah, I mean, still surprises people. Is that same with you? Yeah, I don't think my grandfather ever carried a card. It was always cash. So I do think, I actually, I get why people do it, but I'm actually, don't think they should. For all y'all now, there's some wild myths floating around about UK federal credit unit.

One person writes Matt, my husband's almost 70. He hates electronic money. He only carries cash.

I like the phrase, I hate electronic money. Although I'm going to be saying something like that when it comes to like everything being Bitcoin, I'm going to be like, I hate non-real money. I finally got, I finally stopped getting a physical check. See, you're part of it. I know, but I liked it. I liked carrying the check to the bank and feeling like I had real money. And it was like when I handed it to them, I was like, okay, I have been paid.

Now you just check the, now you just check the ledger and you're like, oh. you and I with the last two holdouts that actually still get checks I liked it if it was up to me I'd still get it but they were kind of like okay it's time we don't have a printer anymore one person said what about the Amish people they don't do electronic cards what they need have to have cash very good point you don't think about you see you got to think about all these people right and then what if your system goes down well nobody gets ice cream which happens that's happened at KSbar your system goes down, then you got to pull out that old thing that scans your card.

I was at a restaurant just last week, and the thing went down, and they made you put in your number, and then it says, we'll run it later. And I was a little nervous about that, Shannon. Wow. Yeah. Like, I mean, what are you going to do with it? Now you're going to hang out with it for a while. You could pass that on to anybody, and they could get access to your account.

Well, that brings me to another point I already had written down today, which is Florida, Florida football is doing face-less or face technology this year. You will have the option at Florida of when you buy a ticket, you can turn on a feature where you won't need to have the ticket. You can just scan your face. All right. So like clear at the airport, but for tickets. Florida is at this point making it optional,

but the maker of the product says they hope to get to a point that all tickets will just be your face. this stuff freaks me out. Like I'm not against the idea of somebody having my face, but this would make it to where long term, if they made it to where you had to use your face, you couldn't resell your tickets. See, this is where this is going, Shannon.

This is where it's going. Universities are going to use this technology. So when you buy the tickets from them, you cannot resell them on a secondary market. In order for somebody else to get them, you'll have to go back through the school and pay a fee again. You see what I'm saying? They'll have the resale.

They'll have the resale have to go through the university or the professional sports team or whatever. But what if you want to give them away? What if you tellgated too hard on your face? Doesn't look the same as it did a few hours before. Well, see, I don't know how facial technology works. If I get beat up, will it still look like me? Like if Ryan got sucker punch before the South Carolina game instead of after.

If Ryan's got a swollen eye, Does it go, well, this is just Ryan with a swallow-off? What if I'm fired up for the game and I painted my face blue? I got a big U.K. on my forehead. You know, I don't, on my phone with my face, if I

have a hat on, it might not work. When I got glasses, sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. What if you can't get into the game because you, you know, you ate and have a, you got cherubic.

Let's also note, They still haven't figured out how to scan tickets all right. I mean, how many times we have long lines when a game has started because the scanner was down or the person working couldn't figure it out? Now we're going to go even farther. And I have clear at the airport. And there are multiple times they just look at me and go, they just go on.

Well, yeah, that's nice if they do that. But I mean, what else do you do if you're in that situation? They're making this thing unnecessarily more complicated than when it needs to be. I think the reason you would, The reason you, if you were the New York Knicks, the reason you'd like to do this is you would say, why should stub our secondary value? Let's make it to where you have to sell your tickets through us or the face doesn't work, right? That's why they want to do it. I'm just saying, you know, it'd be interesting to see it Florida when they do that this year.

Like, will it work? It used to be occasionally, mostly college kids, 8 a.m. tailgate, you go a little too hard. You don't want to go to the game anymore. You want to go nap. you just hand your tickets off. Do we have to pick our buddy up out of his chair and drag him to the face or a risk? Yeah, just put his face up there so we can go in. Yeah.

Apparently they're testing it this year with students, which seems to me to be the worst group to test it with, but that's who they're testing it with. Let's go to Jacob. Go ahead, Jacob. Hey, Matt. I just wanted to ask a basketball question. I know that last season there was a lot of talk about Mark Pope's team being a three-point shooting.

team. And I just wanted to know if there would be like continuation, you think, and this year's team. And then also like who you think will take the most three-point attempts and who you think will have the highest three-point. We ended up, in my opinion, last year, not shooting as many threes as we should. Appreciate the call. Both for the way the team was built, we should have shot more. And also, he just went away from his philosophy.

I actually think this year they might take fewer because we have less shooters. on the team. There's no Kobe Bray on this team, right? So I think we'll take the same or less. I think this team is more of a penetration, get to the rim team. So this may be an evolution in Pope's offensive style. Yeah, we heard last summer about 1.30 a game, and he said it throughout the year and rarely got to that. Part of it might be how thrown off they were with injuries. You know, you had Jackson Robinson go out. Kirkresa would have been good for one or two a game before he got hurt. but looking ahead to this year, I don't know that that 30 number will be

hitting that a lot. That's a good question. I don't know. I still don't know what Jasper Johnson's going to be with minutes. If he plays a lot of minutes, I would say him. But I don't know that he's going to play a ton of minutes. I mean, he'll play a lot, but to lead the team in three-point shooting, I need to see. Do you think Jalen Lowe takes the most?

He could. I don't know if he makes the most, but I think he takes the most. I would say if you're going to make a bet, and it's based on minutes. Jalen Lowe takes the most. But as far as a highest percentage, who knows? Could be Colin Chandler, could be Trent Noah, could be Jasper Johnson, could be Cam Williams. And if it's just minutes, I mean, O-Way is going to be trying to make him. And you know he's playing the most minutes, even though he's not considered a shooter.

He might have the most attempts. Yeah, that's a really interesting question. In terms of who takes the most? I mean, in his mind, Brandon Garrison will take the most. He certainly will want to take the most. There's legitimately low, low, O-Way, Williams, Aberdeen, Chandler, Noah, are six guys you could at least put odds on the board. Yeah.

Of who would take the most. I think my final answer is going to be O-A just because minutes played, and I think he's going to want to show off that he's improved as three. He took over two a game last year. I say, I'm going to say, Shain. I'll go Jasper, Johnson, just to be a little different. All right. So we got three different answers. Mario, what's yours? Noah? All right.

Well, you're expecting a lot of minutes from Noah if you're going to see. We know he'll shoot it when he's in. So there you go. I mean, I think you could see this will be a lot of different guys going four different answers on this show. We'll come back. Hour number two. This is Kentucky Sports.
