Your 20s can be so exciting, but they can also be really overwhelming, confusing, and honestly, just kind of lonely. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the psychology of your 20s is breaking down the science behind the biggest roadblocks we face. I was six years into my career, the 80-hour weeks and just the first one in, the last one out, and I ended up burning out. There was a large chunk of my 20s that I, like, was just so wanting to, like, be out of that phase out of my skin. And I just, like, really regret not living in the present more.

You don't need to have everything figured out right now. You just need to understand yourself a little bit better.

In this edition, sponsored by the T.J. Smith Law Office, you call T. T.J. O'M Pay seven days till the reopening the KS. Bar. 11 days until kickoff of the Kentucky football season. It's all right here about to start. Today is a very busy day around these parts. We've got our final KSR bar owners meeting today, which I've been preparing for. Then at 3 o'clock,

Andy Barr is coming in for an interview for Interrupted with Matt Jones. How about that? It's a big good. He's a big KSR fan too, right? He's a UK fan. I don't know if he listens to this or not. I mean, he knows who we are. Yeah.

And he's always been friendly with me. And I even, you know, I thought about running against him one time. That's right. And he's always still been nice to me. So we'll see today. And then next week, Andy Bashir is on. Yeah, yoga girl's very jealous of that. She has a big crush on Andy Bashir.

Well, she can't come here and stare at it. He's a married man. He's a married man like you are. She's not. So you're. married to her, but she's not married to you? But she's already asked me to get her in when Andy comes and talk to you that day. What do you mean get her? She wants to just come and sit in the studio. She wants to meet him. Tell her, I'll let her meet Andy Barr. Andy Bashir.

Oh, that one's that one's the other Andy. You can't do it. For me in the middle of any bar. That's exactly right. Listen, it's either nothing or Andy Barr. What does she want? She wants her some Andy Bashir. She's like, I think, close to stalker status. What would you think of that if you, uh, Drew, if you're the woman of your your love also wanted Andy Bashir. Is that good, bad? I guess there are worse celebrity crushes she could have. No offense to Andy Bashir, I would think I would want my girlfriend to want somebody hotter. She thinks he's really hot.

Tell her she could come in only if she agrees to wear the government daddy shirt. See, I'm worried she would, though. I'm worried she would. Have I told you I've become friends with the woman that started that? and she's now kind of like that I can't believe I did that she's now kind of like you know it was COVID wasn't thinking clearly yeah I wasn't but wasn't thinking clear clearly was a little bored yeah I I own two Andy Bashir t-shirts from COVID one of them says like won't you be my good neighbor or something corny like that you bought that no I didn't buy it you don't

do you have a government daddy no I wouldn't have accepted that those are weird times watching Andy every day. I would just say to you, right, I think when you're dating or married to somebody, it is certainly the case that they have like a dream man. Yes. Yeah. But I would just, Shannon, want mine to be,

I would want my woman's to be like Brad Pitt. Yeah. Everybody gets a hall pass. You don't want it to be accessible. Andy's the hall pass. You're disparaging. You don't want that. You don't want that. See, I don't pick hall pass

is I had a friend one time whose girlfriend picked a hall pass that lived down the street. And I was like, you can't do that. That is plausible, Drew. It has to be one that's implausible. They can't actually live down the hall. They cannot be somebody who's in the building.

Yeah, like mine is Melissa McCarthy. It's unlikely that I've always found out a unique one. Great personality. Unlikely I'm going to run into Melissa McCarthy, though. If we ever do, though, I'm going to make you turn at it. There will be a lot of pressure. I'm going to, Shannon, because I feel like if we would ever meet her, maybe that's accessible too for Drew.

Then it's awkward. Then it's awkward. You have random guest on these podcasts. I mean, it could happen. You know, it could. Yeah. Ryan's girlfriend, it's actually oddly Lindsay Graham, which I think probably not accessible. 859-280 2287.

Text machine is 772-745254. We had a lot of fun at the KSR Golf Scramble. Once again, really hot. I don't know what it is. The days we do those Louisville ones, God turns the sun up on top heat. It was a brutally hot day. And there are certain areas on that Glenos golf course where there is no ventilation. I don't know if you know this, Shannon.

This is a scientific fact. The hottest place on planet Earth is the green on whole eight at Glen Oaks. That par three, because it's surrounded by trees, gets no air circulation. I mean, none. And that's where you had the OVW people. And for OVW has been there for like five straight years. I don't realize. I heart must have something against OVW.

Because they put Crixus and Freya the Slea and those people. They are sitting there. And when I get there, they are, first of all, they stay. They don't want to, they don't want to wear shorts. They want to stay in. They want to stay. They want to stay. So they wear like silk shirts and jeans and I always drew.

Feel so sorry for them. Yeah. Yesterday they helped quench my thirst. with a shot of hot vodka. So they were also providing refreshments out in the heat on their home. It's never been good because I give them and the KS bar people money for alcohol. And I'm like, get something people will like. And then they'll come in with like warm rum.

I'm like, you realize it's 97 degrees out here. I think we had hot vodka out of a brown bag at the WVW hole. A lot of great sponsors with drinks. They were among them. Just a little different. Well, but thank you for everybody that came. we had a lot of people. Everybody seemed to have fun.

A lot of sunburns when they went home. But it was a good day. And now, like I said, 11 days until the start of football. And you may remember yesterday, what was it? Was it Jenny that called in and gave me heck? Yes, she did. Is that right? Took you to task a little bit.

Yeah, I mean, Jenny had things to say. Yes, she did. I was glad to hear from Jenny. She definitely had notes. I will say this. Jenny. 859-2-80-2-807. I had to cut you off because we were at the break. I will let you finish. She said she had other points. Yes, she did. If you want to call 8-59-2-80-22-87, I'm glad to give you the chance to make your other

points because I did have people write me and say that they liked Jenny's positivity, that she might be doing a better job than UK football and getting them drew excited for the season. She could be the head of marketing. I bet she's a schoolteacher. She was very She had notes. She was quick to hush you when you needed to be hushed. I was getting schoolteacher vibes for her, but I would like to hear more. You sat right down in your seat and shut up and listened. I'm not going to argue with, I mean, she said she was 70.

When you get to be 65, is that when you can go on AARP now? You're getting there. I should know this. You getting to mail yet? Maybe next month. But when you get to that point and you're a woman, I'm going to let you say what you want. A lot of men, 65 and up, still angry, still mean, still haven't learned to just accept life. Then they get to like 85.

I think they start to see their mortality and they calm down. The softest spot you have for callers are older ladies and grandmas. And kids. No, not kids. No, I'm good with kids. What are you talking to's Billy that's not good with kids? I sit and talk to kids. A whole segment about screaming kids yesterday.

Yeah, but they're not calling into the show. I don't like, it's the kids in the wild. Oh, okay. That I have issues with. If a kid calls into the show. Fair, yeah. Then that's, I see myself in the kids that call into the show. I never called into shows, but I would because I would have.

Like, I would have called it. If this existed when I was a kid, I would have listened every day. I would have called. You've been Michael from Dallas. I would have. Yes, but no one gets better, more sympathy than women over 65 just because, you know, they've been through it, right? They grew up when women were like second-class citizen. And so they've been through it.

So I'm going to be respectful to them, even if they're putting me in my place. Sounds like we need to hear from more women 65 and older. Yeah, that way you won't interrupt them. You think we can have a whole set of calls that women 65 are. I think it's a challenge. I tell you, if we're going to do that, we need to set it up someday. Yeah, it needs to be a set day that's prepared. It needs to be a set day that the women 65 and over like get themselves ready.

I'll be checking IDs as you call them. No, no. A bunch of Grammy squammy's calling. All right. You guys have to make it weird. What is it about you that makes you always have to make it weird? Well, you know, I'm such a young man. But that makes it weirder.

The older you get, the less you can do this. I can't really say Grammy Squammy's anymore because I'm like in that age bracket now. He's still figured out how to be 59. It's new to them. A lot of people said they felt bad for you and they like, you pulled at their heartstrings with the talking about Josiah leaving. I actually got a lot of texts about that last night. I did too. But if parents are getting ready to go through it or have already gone through it, like last night I went home and we're loading up his towels and he's washed claws.

and socks and underwear and like, man, he's moving out. The kid is about to move out. Would you let Mario film you moving him in and the emotions you go through? What if I start balling? Then that's clicks. Yeah. Even better than click bait. So you want me to ball.

The key is to fake it. But like I think you, one of your strengths is through difficulty and happiness. You've gone through it in public. and when you do that, people who are going through the same things can relate to you and they can, you know, I mean, I've talked a lot about when I had the seizure on that show. I've had people, I've had hundreds of people talk to me about their kids have seizures. They have seizures. So even though it was hard for me to show that, it helped people. This could be you because right now all these people are going through this, right?

People are moving into college right now all over the country. are losing their children. People are becoming empty nesters where they'll never speak to a person again like you are. And I think it would be good for you to go through that. Because you know you're, so are you, are you okay with that? I'm okay with it. But I'm, I guarantee I'll cry. I almost cried last night. But I said, I'm not going to cry in front of him when we're trying to just get packing stuff together. You almost cried last night. Yeah. Because it just kind of hit me like, you know, he's, he's going to be in two nights. I'm by myself in his house. He's moving out. It sounds like that's what you're really worried about. Like, are you, you really worried about being by yourself?

Yeah. Because he's just going to be down the street. So he's going to be all right. But he'll never come home anymore. He's going to have his girlfriend over there, his buddies, parties. He's not coming home. To be fair, he RSVP no for the dinner Saturday. So he's already Shannon, he's already claiming. Yeah, he's already like, I don't have to go to that stuff. Did he really? You could know? Yeah. So, wow. See, Shannon. You'll start crying right now. You're going to start crying. right now. But it's the being alone.

Because you haven't been alone in a long time. Yeah. You know. Did you live alone when you were younger? Have you ever lived alone? Never. I've always had a roommate.

You've never lived alone. Ever. No, because even after the divorce, this time, Josiah was there with me, you know? So I've never really been alone. Never. So you have never lived alone. Now, see that, I can see why that would be hard.

Because you just went straight from your parents to college. to probably another marriage another marriage jump right into them yeah this is a reality show I want to watch

yeah this is I can see a man 59 years old for the first time has to look in the mirror and be by himself yeah it's a show I can see you like

going to the fridge and smelling the milk and drinking out of the carton now and I didn't think about that's an advantage I'm going to be wanting around probably

yeah you're going to you're never going to smelling never going to wear pants. There's going to be a lot of things. Well, listen, I've given you a hard time about it. But I'm sure that is hard. I mean, I've lived alone since I was 21, basically straight.

But if you've never done that and you're having to do it while you're also, you know, trying to keep your kidneys going, I understand. I can understand why that would be hard. Like I said, you know, every day after the show, I'd call him up. We'd usually do lunch together. Well, those days are over. I got to eat lunch with you guys You can still go to lunch with him

I mean we can almost see campus from this window He's right here You're right he's not gonna go I mean if he's already RSVP no For KS bar What about Gavin? What did my other side? Gavin gave me a maybe

I don't understand the maybe by the way You either can go or you can't go Thought the lemon boys would show up for free food I got six maybes And Gavin's one of them Gavin's a baby Just size and no 859-280 2287

Jenny I'll let you finish your point if you would like to call. Plus, open the phone lines. 859-2-8-0-22-87. We're going to talk about people got frustrated, at least some people online, that I said Cutter had a chance to win the job. Well, yesterday, Mark Stoop, said the same thing. Does that mean anything or not? That's next here on KSR. KSR. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind.

If anything, I'm more careful. Honestly, it just helps me focus. That's probably what the driver who killed a four-year-old told himself. And now he's in prison. You see, no matter what you tell yourself, if you feel different, you drive different.

So if you're high, just don't drive. Brought to you by NHTSA and the Ad Council. Hey, I'm Jared Adano. You might know me as that loud guy who yells out, help on the internet. Help! Somebody! Please!

If I'm not in 280, 280, 2287. Text Machine, 772-7524. person writes, Matt, you said you've lived by yourself since you were 21. Do you think you could

ever live with anyone? Yeah. I think if I was married, though, I'd still like want my own room. Your own room. Well, no, I mean, I'm not saying I wouldn't share a bed with my wife. But I think I would want my own room. Yeah, I don't think that's crazy. Do married couples not have their own room? Yeah. Yeah. Somehow, like, she'll have her office room. He'll have his office room. I'm not even talking Man Cave. Like, I want my own room with my own like clothes, sneakers, books, books. Although I might put the books like in the, but why is that crazy, Shannon, to have your own room. Do you share a bedroom with your girlfriend? Yeah, but yeah, of course I do. I'm not saying not sleep together, but I'm saying don't you want a place for your own stuff? Yeah, like I have like my own man cave is what I call it.

You know, like where you've got. But is that where you keep your clothes? No. Uh-oh. See, I mean. No. So you want your own closet area. Well, have you ever seen a woman's closet?

I mean, they're like, do you have space, Drew? It's part of living with somebody. And some people have tiny closets that. I've seen you're thinking. I've only lived really with two with, I lived with my parents and tall. And that's it. So it's a complete opposite of me. I've never lived alone.

You've never lived with somebody. So it's kind of hard if we had like two. Two months when I was writing my book in New York where I lived with my then-girlfriend. Yeah. In her place. But that was so small. And like, no. What was that cat's name?

Mayberry. Mayberry. Man, Matt, teaching you how to live alone would be a great show. That's the expert. You're doing it for the first time. And I get to teach you how to live with somebody. I don't know that you do it well. We've had a number of issues.

859-2-80-2-82-87. All right, let's talk about, Mark Stoops yesterday says, this is a competition now. Cutter Bowley and Calzada. Surprised? I was surprised. Other schools have picked their quarterback

in the last day or two, and we seem to open it back up. I mean, I still don't think it's a battle. I'm surprised he leaned into it at all, though, but I think he said, Zach and Cutter are battling right now. I mean, I would be, I still think I'd be shocked if Cutter Bowley

started outside of an injury, but I was surprised Stoops leaned into it because I mean they're starting week one prep in a few days camps ending now it's it's go time and I'm surprised he waited to say it

may be one of his last speaking moments before week one begins You think that you think it is a battle I mean it's an odd time to say it literally all the other schools that have been battling like in the last day or two said okay this is our guy

and we seem to be flipping it back up I think it even goes back to the spring We kept, you know, during the spring, we were hearing that Cutter did all the right things. In the film room, on the field, off the field, got better than when fall camp started, you know, the warren started leaking out and said, hey, man. But do you think it's real? I saw some people who thought it was game and ship on Stoop's part 11 days away from the first game. He likes to do that, though. By the way, he does like to fake say that.

He does. Oh, we might play two quarterbacks and then it never happened. So you actually think, though, it's real. I think it's legit. It kind of goes along with everything I've been hearing since fall camp started. that Cutter is like legit going to be maybe the start. There's not one person who has watched the game practices, who will not tell you Cutter has been better.

Now, there's caveats to that, right? Which is sometimes Cutter's going up against second string defense and Zach's going up against first. And so there's caveats to all that. But people all do say that, Drew, and we don't see them, so it's hard to know. We don't have the equivalent of NFL preseason games where you get to see them on the field.

But let me ask you this. Let's say you pay $2 million for a quarterback, but the backup's better. Do you just say, well, we eat that $2 million? You got to play the backup. You play the best guy. Bowley deserves all the praise he's getting because he has looked much better, but I still feel like Calzada. It's not like Calzada's been bad.

It's just been like Cutters had like an oh wow moment. It's not even about money. In practice, we've heard it. I mean, Calzada's been the one all of camp. There hasn't been a day where it's like, let's go 50-50 and get Bowley shot. So then why would he say? say that? I don't know. That's what I'm saying. I'm surprised he did say it. It could be the case at this point with the season starting, this is where your practices are going to be

Boli or Calzada nonstop. Could be a way to keep Bowley engaged or it could be. Could be a way to keep Galzada going hard to make him not feel comfortable that he still needs to be given as best as the season approaches or a way for Bowley like hey, I mean, there's a lot of things it could be. What do you think it is? That, that he's just trying to keep him moving. Okay. So he's done nothing to show. But so you think it's real. You think there's a chance that Cutter Bowley is the quarterback. I'm with Drew. I don't think he's going to start day one.

No. I think Calzada still starts. Cutter will be on the field, though. I think he will be. That one I have a hard time believing because we hear that every year and they never play that guy. I mean, Gavin Wimson would play at the goal line on third and one, but it's not like they gave him series. He's a running style. Boe isn't like a running quarterback.

I would be surprised they do that. Here's what I think he's setting up. I think he's setting up that if we get to halfway through the third quarter and it's 10-7 Toledo, Shannon, that he might put cutter bowling in. Oh, God. See, that would be the scenario I would not want to put them in. Me either.

For way down, maybe I could see, you know, there'd be a justification for doing that. But if it's a close game, I don't think you can just yank your starter. I mean, you've got to believe them. Well, the moment you yank. Carl Zada. He's done, right? He's probably done for the year. So, I mean, I just, I don't know what, there's no scenario where you can kind of shuttle those two back and forth and you think it's going to work well. When you have, that old adage, when you have two, you have none, I think is 100% accurate.

I think you're right. You pull him in the third quarter of the first game of the season against Toledo. That's a bad look. What I would like to know is, Calzada just playing down to second string caliber. Or is Cutter Bowling? We don't know. Because we don't know. I mean, this is as... One of the two is happening. This is one of the things that's hard, like when people criticize us or anybody for speaking.

We don't get to see it. And by the way, most colleges will let their reporters see more than Kentucky does, but none of them let them see everything. So, Drew, it's just, I mean, on some level, we're guessing. But I can tell you this. The Mark Stoops staff is a leaky. staff. It's not like the Mark Pope staff, which nothing gets out unless they want them people to know, right? Most of the leak is pro-cutter. I think you made an important point.

It's not anti-Cowalsada. Nobody says he stinks, but it is like, dude, Cutter's the guy. Or not, maybe not Cutter's the guy, but Cutter's very pretty doing well. Yeah, I mean, his night and day difference in what we got to see in game situations a year ago, I've been to two practices. I mean, Cutter deserves all. the praise. I just, if you start praying him too much, it sounded like Calzada's not getting the job done, and I haven't heard anything that Calzada is underperforming. It's just kind of

like, wow, our QB2 is really good. Yeah, 859-280-2287. We got some folks on the line. We'll take your calls. I want to talk about basketball. Trent Noah got like the best compliment you could get from Mark Stubes yesterday. Or Mark Pope yesterday. Maybe Mark Stobs is bragging on him too. No, I mean, he got Trent,

Trent Noah got a big thumbs up from Mark Pope. And Jenny, I gave you the floor. Come on. And she didn't call. That's one thing. Maybe she just can't handle the pressure. Is that a call out?

Well, I'm just saying. You got the floor and then you don't do it. We'll be right back. T.J. Smith, personal injury attorney. Call T.J. He'll make them pay. Now, more of Kentucky Sports Radio, presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones. Welcome back.

Tucky Sports Radio. 859, 280, 280, 23. 287. Two little things here from the world. Last night at 10 o'clock on NBC, apparently they did a show about the Eastern Kentucky flooding. I wish I'd have known that. I wish I'd have known that too. I would have watched it. I don't know if anybody watched it. Tell me if it was good. 772-745254. Apparently they did a whole special on it, which I think is actually very cool of them to do, assuming it was not a negative. I don't know how you could negatively portray a flood. But I mean, you can't possibly portray it. But as long as they weren't patronized,

to the people, which I don't think they would have been. So if somebody saw it, let me know if it's good. Maybe it's on Peacock. Could watch it. People are up in arms. Keenland today put their fall meat tickets on sale. And apparently, Shannon, complete disaster. Website crashed.

Nobody can get on. The internet is furious, you know, horse people. I was fascinated when, like, sites crashed. Like, you know you're about to sell tickets. You know thousands of people are going to try to get on. I couldn't keep a site working for 15 years. Well, it's a little bit different. It's hard because you buy a website and you buy essentially traffic, or not buy traffic,

but you buy ability to handle traffic, Shannon. But then you have moments where there's like you really only need it two or three times a year. And it's not like, at least when I had a site, it wasn't like you could just say, okay, turn up our volume for a day. But if it's killing, it might be worth having. Yeah, I mean, that's a huge corporation. Drew, you always do that. Did it not work for you?

victim again. I never have luck with the Keenland sales. The process isn't the best, but this time was worse than usual. I had like tickets in my cart when it went on sale, nine ready to go. They disappeared. So they delayed it until 10 a.m. And then at 10 a.m. they've now delayed it until

tomorrow. So it's been 9 a.m. today forever. I've been there though. I've been there. I mean, we won the national championship in 2012. Me and hubby were up all night because every time we put our site back up and crash, crash, crash, crash, crash. like this is a huge night. We won the national championship.

People want to see content and it would just crash, crash, crash, crash. We couldn't get, we couldn't, there was no level that we could afford to buy from our provider that could hold those moments, those recruiting moments. Like you just, you couldn't. So ultimately we ended up having to buy our own server, which cost a lot of money. And it was like a whole thing. But we just could not keep it up during those moments. So what is it with Keenland this falls?

There's something special going on and people were flooded in with tickets to day or is this happening before? When it went on sale was today, I guess. I wouldn't think traffic would be any crazier than it normally is. Yeah, I wouldn't think so. One person writes, Matt, my wife and I lived together, I would assume so, and have separate bedrooms. It's the only way it works.

Otherwise, she takes up all the space. That's exactly right. I'll also note the whole act of, okay, Shannon, you're ready for a controversial, non-married guy opinion? Oh, let's go. I get it. and I get, especially when you're dating and, like, first married, but the act of sleeping together, I don't know how we confuse that with the act of being married.

Like, sleeping in the same bed, you know, you buy a big bed so you can have space. What are you going to do put her in the closet? Well, first of all, I'm six four. Yeah, I get a king size bed. What's the problem? Well, it's still, I like to sleep diagonal. Diagonal. Well, make her sleep diagonal.

But then you're an X at that point. You can sleep parallel. It sounds like you're going to be an X with all these theories you have about how to live together. I'm just saying it's odd that we've combined the act of sleeping with being married. I understand the other acts that occur in a bed. But why is sleeping the thing? We don't say you have to shower together. Well, that's an option.

There's double showers. and sometimes maybe you want, but why have we said sleeping is the thing that you all have to do to get? Especially if your husband is a bad snore like me. Exactly. Like you snore. Yeah. Some people like Twitch or kick. What?

I'm just laughing. I'd say the answer is most people have one bedroom when, you know, they're married and living together. Fair point. That's that that is a very fair point. Yeah, that'd be a good luxury. No, that's a fair point. Most people probably have one bedroom and that I just, you know, So,

Mark, go ahead, Mark. Hey, Matt. Join the show. I'm from Codgerville, so all those guys in Rear County would love to see Cutter play. But I know Kazana should start,

but the first time he throws two interceptions, Cutter should be brought in. Well, we'll see. I appreciate the call. Adam Luckett apparently wrote on KS Board that Cutter will start. He takes 90% of the reps in practice, but if things don't go well,

Kazada, I'm sorry. Takes 90% of the reps in practice, but if things don't go well, Cutter may be in to put a spark. Does that seem right to you? Yeah, and I can see that too, you know. You struggle out right out of the gate. You want a spark maybe that Cutter could bring you

coming off the bench. Yeah, I agree that if it's not working for Calzada, this is more than ever under Stoop's time here. Can he be quicker to go to the second option? Just going into week one, they didn't do anything in camp to suggest that Bowley could steal it before the first game. It's been Calzada leading the team and running the show since day one of camp. How many of our fans, Shannon?

What percentage do you think would recognize Calzada by face? Honestly, 10% maybe. What do you think? I'll go under. I don't like very many at all Let me go ahead and tell you I wouldn't have until media day That's it

I had no idea until he walked up When he walked up As they were bringing him up I assumed by his build That that's who it was And he was number on his jersey You assumed it but you didn't know it But I didn't know it

You thought it was Nick I thought it was his brother I sometimes doing it for a living And constantly involved in it I forget how little people even like pay attention to like a media day, stuff like that. Like I just think everybody's watching the interviews.

That's still a small part of the fan base. Well, that's why the Shi'aj Pete thing was so big because, you know, that our interview with him is now up to like 800,000 views on TikTok. Wow. And I went back and looked and you go look at the official UK interviews. They're like at like five. So the Shi'aj Pete thing, well, yesterday,

they had a UK football had an event down at like Kentucky Downs or something. And apparently it was Tom Leach and Mark Stoops. And they were talking about all the players on the team. And so they were talking about Kausata and then the running backs and etc. And then at some point Tom Leach says Shiach Pete and the place goes for the only time goes into applause. Really? Like he's the most known. Like Cutter Bowley might be the most known just because he's from Kentucky and all that.

But of the guys that are going to play, I think there's a really strong argument that Shiage Pete, the offensive lineman, is the most known person on the team. Isn't that weird? It is weird. But he's such a monster and he's a good talker and he's an American Indian. And he's got all these things that make him an interesting figure. We want to know more about him. Cheney, and it makes him a figure.

Why did you say it like that? My voice cracked. I'm going through view. How popular he is. Figure. Samuel, go ahead, Samuel. Samuel, anytime you're ready, go ahead. Yeah, go ahead. Can you hear me?

Yeah. I got one thing here. I think, I hope Calzada pans out, really. I hope I do. But I think Cutter Bowley is going to be more than the spark. He's going to bring the juice guys. Why do you think that? He's going to be the two.

He's going to be Tua. Well, I ain't going to go far as talk Tua. Tua. He's going to be, he's going to be, He's going to be Mini Tua. He's going to be Kentucky's Tua. But why do you say that? I mean, based on what?

He's just a bad cat, man. He's going to bring the juice. All right. There you go. Appreciate the call. Mini Tua. Thank you. You think at some point this year we're going to be calling Cutter Bowley

mini Tua? Unlikely, but I like the optimism. Cutter is 6-5, I think, isn't he? I don't know. He's about my height. So I'd say 6-4 or something like that. that. He's a big, big fella. Yeah, no, he is big. I don't know about mini Tua.

Yeah, Tua had a pretty good college career. If he's mini Tua, then I think he's starting at some point. And I think we're going bowling. Yeah. Bowling. I thought it was very telling yesterday when the entire room admitted they couldn't name six starters. Yeah, the entire room.

So when I'm thinking about people recognizing Kalsada, I couldn't believe that that crowd. Do you think if Kousada walked into that scramble, which presumably those are people who paid KSR listeners who care enough to come to a scramble, play golf, pay money, etc. Do you think if he had walked in there, people would have been like our quarterback just walked in? Not if he was in a golf polo.

Nope. Only if he was doing he was wearing in the tournament or he was our quarterback. Playing in the tournament. I think people Shannon would have thought he's playing in the tournament. I would have. Like, oh, there's the fourth guy in your group. Yeah. Whoever that is.

But now that does, that'll change after game one. But that's what we talked about. Is that a mistake by UK by not making them more visible? There's no doubt it's a mistake. If they win, it won't matter. But UK, this idea in the offseason that not talking about the team and not teaching people about it was smart, I think is crazy to me. It's crazy. That's a crazy mindset.

And it's even more important that you do it in this transfer pool era where you just don't know guys. Contrast that to UK basketball and how they're all doing videos. and they're all, you know, they're all, Jane Quaints is taking his driver's test and we're learning all the, you know, you know, Yellowvich did a get to know me video yesterday. And, you know, what do most people know?

You know the one thing everybody did bring up was a picture of them jumping. Well, okay, was that ideal? Probably not. But they should have leaned into that. At least tell us, we don't even know, most people don't even know which two guys were jumping. Right?

One of them was Rainer, but who was the other one? Still can't tell you. I still don't know who the other one was. It's just, now, again, if we win, none of that matters. But I think that was a mistake. If you've ever dominated a trivia night or you know every word to the preamble like Ryan Lemon, then the National Civics B is Thursday, August 21st. That's Tuesday, two days from now.

4 to 6 p.m. at the Kentucky State Fair. They'll have them up. All these kids will be on the spot to see who knows all the civic-minded constitution and democracy facts should be exciting. And it'll be more fun than a tilt a whirl. It's brought to you by the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce Foundation. Understanding government and getting you involved in community matters is important. Whether the national civics be Thursday at the Kentucky State Fair.

We got to talk about the Kentucky State Fair because Shannon loves it. Oh, I've already been there three times. I'm serious. I'm going back the fourth time this Friday. You love it. We'll take a break. Be right back. KSA.

I actually drop better when I'm high. It heightens my senses, calms me down. If anything, I'm more careful. Honestly, it just helps me focus. That's probably what the driver who killed a four-year-old told himself. And now he's in prison. You see, no matter what you tell yourself, if you feel different, you drive different.

So if you're high, just don't drive. Brought to you by NHTSA and the Ad Council. Hey, I'm Jared Adano. You might know me as that loud guy who yells out, help on the internet. Help! Somebody! Please! But there's so much more to me than me.

Listen to Help from Hypocrat as part of the MyCultura podcast network available on the I-HartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You saw this guy, didn't you, the other night? He was awesome. He still sounds great, nice guy. Was he nice? I saw you took your dad. Did your dad really like him? My dad was geeking out.

My dad was like a little kid. He's like, that's awesome. I got all your albums. I karaoke, your songs. I listen to you in my garage. I'm like, dad, calm down. Calm down.

That's cool, though. She was excited. My mom's like that with, she's going to see Leanne Morgan. Yeah. I feel like if I could make my mom meet Leanne Morgan, that would be like Christmas gifts for the next five years. She loves Liam.

My mom's always been like, I don't like stand up comedy. People get up there and just tell jokes and try to make you laugh. And I'm like, yes, that's exactly what they do. And she's always insisted she wouldn't like it. And then finally, I saw a clip of Leanne Morgan. I was like, Mom, I promise you you would like this person. She's from Morristown, Tennessee,

which is 30 minutes from where I'm. our family's from. Okay. She talks like all the, all the stubble fields in, in Hancock County. Just, just watch her.

And now my mom sends me clips, like everything she does. You know, she put out a TV show. My mom didn't love it, but she didn't want me to tell anybody. I guess I just did because she didn't want to hurt Leah Morgon's career.

So she's coming to like Corbin in two weeks. And your mom's going? My mom's never been more excited about anything. Really? Ever. She just loves Leanne Morgan. You got to arrange a little meet and greet for him. So, like, that's how your dad was with Sammy Kirshall. Yeah. After I just introduced myself as the guy from IHeart Radio and my dad says, I got all your albums. I go, he goes, I bet you don't. He's like, I put out five albums

in the last 10 years. Radio won't even play it. I was like, oops. So you got, you took a stray. I like it. I'm not even a country DJ. Sorry, Sam. That's right. One person says a lot of people are doing the sleep divorce thing these days. It's pretty common. common. That way couples who snore won't be miserable and resent their partners. You know, you snore bad rind, so I'm not saying. I'm just saying maybe that would have been. That's where cornbread hemp is awesome. The spouse, the other other can go to sleep first. That's the whole key. Are you getting any better with that? Not that I'm aware. Good. Kevin, go ahead, Kevin.

Yeah, Matt. It's, you know, I want to preface this. by saying I think it's a great thing for the city of Lexington that Keenland is, the specter of Keenland's grown to where it is. International acclaim, et cetera, but as a local is very frustrating year in and year out. It's getting worse and worse. And I think the culmination of that was today with the crashing. I mean, I'm just trying to brainstorm ideas. Do we do a locals day?

Can they do, you know, a lot of certain amount of tickets to people who live locally. Yeah, I mean, maybe that would be a good idea. Say 50, 60, whatever percent are. you have to have a Kentucky ID or something to buy, because you're right. I think the charm of Keenland is losing a little bit because of what you're saying. It's become world. It's the same thing that happened to the derby, and they, you know, they tried to do it while. Let's do Oaks, and then it's Thurby, and then it's 50 Tuesday, et cetera.

And I think Louisville, in some ways, has lost the derby to the international crowd, even though, you know, I appreciate the call. This is very similar to the people in Barcelona who are shooting water guns at people saying get out of our city. I do wonder, though, if we've kind of lost the, everybody goes to Keenland, it's fun, you see all, it's all different types of people. Now it is a different place, but we always joke about when we go, I don't ever know anyone there. I know. It's amazing. You walk in one of those rooms. I mean, it's no one.

Nobody. I don't know anybody. So, like, I think it's, it is changing. But at the same time, it's successful, brings people to city. I've missed three straight meets And for me, that's pretty uncharacteristic And a lot of that has been It's hard to get tickets and plan ahead

It was so nice when on a Friday afternoon You could be like, you know what? It's a nice day. Let's drop everything around to Keenland And pay $5 at the door, but those days are long gone They're long gone Just like going to a concert or event, heck it's You know, August, you've got to be prepared weeks and months in advance.

Yeah, Johnny Versacee, go ahead. Hey, Matt. I was played in a golf tournament yesterday. I mean, really enjoyed it. I played golf my whole life. I played in hundreds of scrambles. And you guys do such a great job with that. And I know the fans and everybody really appreciate it.

Well, thank you very much. I always enjoy it. And it's great to see all the people. We got one more in Somerset, I think, in September. But go ahead. Yeah. So we tied for the lowest score. What was it?

And this is something you may 17 under. see I actually thought it was more than that wow so 17 tied okay yeah I mean actually yeah I've played in a lot of times and that wouldn't have tied for the lead on many years but we lost in a scorecard playoff to the lone U of L fans so you may want to work that into some of the rules later on yeah there was one U of L fan there I should have made it to where they lost I'm sorry that's bad that's poor poor former we'll we'll get them back but thank you for playing john I appreciate it. I'm surprised 17-1.

Because the course was there for the taking. I didn't think anything of it when my group left, but when Billy texted me late last night that's 17-1, I was playing back some putts in my head that we could have been at least in the mix. Usually it's 20-something. We shot 11. I didn't even feel like we played very well.

Yeah, we parted the two easiest holes on the course and still shot 13. So I started dreaming dreams after I learned 17 won it. It was a former U.S. basketball player on the 1980 National Championship team that played in the scramble yesterday. Robert Bingham, I think was his last name? Played on that 1980 title team.

Uh-huh. For Louisville, he was in the scramble yesterday. Yeah, there were some people who leaked and let Louisville fans in there. That's the way it goes. Let's go to Jeff. Go ahead, Jeff. I can't understand why I'm the world that Stubes would consider started bowling if he's truly our future. Why he wouldn't?

No, I don't know why he would think about starting him until our office. I can prove they can hold up. I mean, that's a maybe a bet. Calzada's supposed to be mobile. I was a mobile quarterback, so I figured he'd get a better chance. Fair point. I mean, appreciate the call. But clearly,

you didn't bring Kauzada in here to sit. Right. I mean, he's probably the highest paid player on the team, so you didn't bring him in here to sit. And he just has the experience that Bowley can't match right now. I mean, the dude's got a win over Alabama on his resume. Yeah, the dude already gets

showny's discounts. That too. Yeah. We'll take a break. Come back. Basketball. Hour number two is KSR. Another podcast from some
