It is hour number two at Kentucky Sports Radio, 8992-8-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2. 87. Text machine is 772-7-7-4-5-254. We are. It's an Ask Anything Wednesday. Go ahead and get in with us. We'll go back to the phone here in just a second. A couple little tidbits I thought people would like. First of all,

apropos of nothing, Shannon. Nobody was talking the other day about who had the best rated show or anything like that. That was not something any radio host and you were feuding about. Am I correct? That's correct, yeah. Yeah, not me. That was somebody else. That would not have been you. No, no. But just coincidentally, the ratings came out last week for Lexington and Louisville. I just want to give you a notion of when we talk about, you know, sometimes you'll hear me say,

this is like the highest rated radio show, not just in Kentucky, but in the country in sports. I just want to give you a sense of what that means. All right. In Lexington, they do it year over year. We were down 12%. But remember, that's from the John Caliperi leaves, Mark Pope comes a couple of months. Pretty big couple months.

Highest rated couple months we ever had. This was still our second highest rated period in history behind that one. Okay? In Lexington, men 18 to 49, we had a 30. Now let me give you a little perspective as to what a 30 means. In most places, you are considered like as a sports host, you are knocking it out of the park if you get like an eight. And we had a 30. We had a 16 in people.

Not just men, people. That includes women who listen to the radio even more than men. We were first in every demographic, literally every single demographic. In Louisville, 12, and the number one show in Louisville, including beating all the Louisville shows. I just say that to say, thank you to the listeners. When we first started, I remember the first Louisville ratings book, we got like a four and a half. And people, I remember Lockland McLean famously came in. He didn't think I heard him.

And he looked at Drew Deere and said, well, it'll never get that. getting you. What a fluke. That was 12 years ago. And now that four and a half is a 30. So we appreciate. Yeah. A four, five, that's sort of typical. You could have a five and a half at certain day parts and be the number one station in your market. Yeah. So by comparison, of 30 compared to a six or a five is insane. And 11 in Louisville, when over half the city claims to hate us, is pretty good. So anyway, I just wanted to give you that, just as a little perspective. It used to be I would obsess over those things. Like every time it came out, I'd be sitting there looking at it. Now almost never look at them because we do get bonuses based on them, so I care about it from that. But we usually

come in first every time, so I don't even have to look. But the numbers now are just, stupid. I mean, that is just stupid. 30% of all radios in Lexington are listening to this show at any given point. That's crazy. Especially when you consider a lot of people don't even listen to the radio. And then there's a podcast audience.

That doesn't even include the podcast or the streaming. That's people who are playing it over the airs. The podcast and streaming is a different set of numbers. Sometimes when we go over this a reminder of how many people are on the other end of this microphone. It makes you think, what did I say?

What did I confess to? Not nervous. Well, you confess how boozy you are from the thing. I didn't plan to mention what's my baller. How do you think he pays for his big boogie club now? I know it.

Well, I do work for the NFL. Yesterday, Billy and Mario got a little nervous, Shannon. Oh, really. They've never seen me in the tense interview. world. It was Billy and Mario watching as I interviewed Andy Barr, which will air, which will go up on

podcast tomorrow. First of all, thank you to Andy Barr for doing it. He was great. He handled all the questions. He did what people in those offices should do, which is sit down, get hard questions. We went back and forth. I interrupted him a few times, which are people, but you have to, Shannon. If you don't interrupt these politicians, they'll just talk, right? And that's the name of the show, interrupted by Matt Jones. That's the name. But it was great. But Billy,

I could see Billy on his face getting nervous. Because there's a back and forth on an issue where I go, yes or no, can you say this? And he just keeps going and I'm like, yes or no. So I say, so you won't say yes or no.

And the third time I do it, Billy looks at me like, oh, goodness. So I really thank him a lot for doing it. He, I think if you listen, he answers his questions. We a few times have to just agree to disagree. But I thought it was, especially in today's world where people don't sit down with people from the other side.

I did have respect for him, Drew, for doing it, even though a lot of his answers frustrate me. But that's okay. He still sat and did his thing. I knew it had a big impact on Billy because yesterday, after you all did it, he told me the story of wanting to get out of the table. And this morning he told me the story again, and I had to remind him he probably told me this, but it weighed on him that much that he's still bringing it up a day later. See, I didn't think it was tense at all because I'm used to conversations like that. But I just don't think Billy had seen me in that setting.

And it was a very close space. It was just Barr, his assistant, me, Mario, and Billy, just in a very small space. And I just think Billy got very nervous. Well, I can add, I was also in the building sitting in this studio working on my computer. And I heard it through the wall. So even though I wasn't in there, I also felt a little part of what was going on there. It did get louder at times. Yeah, but not loud.

Not like shouting. But I mean, I could pick up on some tension through the wall. Okay. Well, I didn't think it was tense. But I can tell you who did. He'll probably tell me again after this show. Bobby, go ahead, Bobby. Hey, guys.

How are y'all doing today? Good. I got two quick questions if that's okay. Go for it. All right, so the first question, and I hate to do this while Ryan's not there, but can y'all go over maybe the roles and stats of what you all think, Barryon Brown and Dane Key will do for Nebraska and LSU? And then the second question is I'm really excited that y'all are going to possibly have

Randall Cobb on y'all's new show. And I was wondering, he's like my childhood here. Yeah, he's not going to be rigged. I'm sure we'll have him on as a guest, but no, he's not, he's not, What I said was they wanted me initially when they came to me with the show. The initial idea was, Matt, why don't you do it with Randall Cobb? And I, and there's no offense to Randall, but I wanted to do it with Drew. And so I pushed for Drew and then that's how it ended up with Drew.

But I do think Randall will be on as a guest, some. Drew is also my childhood hero, so I can accept that. But I was just wondering if Randall, if you could get Randall Cobb on KSR or maybe even set up like a signing at your old He'll probably come on to promote that thing he's on. Special forces. Special forces, whatever. So, yeah, we'll see if we can do that, all right? Because I'm also a Packers fan,

so it kind of best of both worlds there. All right, I appreciate the call. Actually, I want to put Regue who is on the Special Forces show. We haven't done that yet, right? Oh, we mentioned it briefly at Shady Rose. But did we mention everyone that was, on it. Many as we could off top of our head. Go ahead. No, no, never mind. If we've done it

before, then we don't have to. We don't have to. Yeah, we mentioned Lexingtonian Britney Cartwright. Oh, that's right. Brianna, chicken fry. Chicken fry? Yeah, okay, well, never mind. Is Johnny Mansell on there? Johnny Mansell is on it. It's a good cast if you want some just chaos doing special forces. I feel like Randall should be the favorite.

Oh, he's going to win. As far as the, what I think Barry and Brown and Dan Keel do, I don't know that Barry and Brown will play a lot at wide receiver. He's projected to be second string, but I do think he'll be a big kick return. for him. But I mean, I looked at an LSU website. They do not have him as a projected starter.

Yeah, they're pretty loaded at receiver. He'll get looks. He won't be a guy like he was in Kentucky where you know, they were pretty much forcing a team. Is that surprising? He would go. I mean, he wanted the ball more here. Yeah. That he would go to a place where he may get the ball less. No, I agree.

You know, don't know exactly what happened there, but it was time for a fresh start on both ends with him. I think as a kick returner, he will be very dynamic. We're just going to have to accept. We're going to get a Bariam Brown touchdown highlight in the LSU uniform. What about Dan Key? The quarterback there, Dylan Raola, still hasn't hit that level everyone thought he would.

I think he had a little bit of it down last year. But if those two pan out, they could be something special. I mean, we heard anything? He'll be, he's in there. He's a top two guy when he committed there. I mean, he was assured he's going to get the looks. I mean, we know what Ryan would say, Shannon. Ryan would say he's going to be all big 10.

Oh, of course. Yeah, but he's his guy. You know, I understand that. So he's got a personal connection with him. I haven't really heard. I mean, I don't read a lot of Nebraska sites, so I don't really know what the Nebraska situation. He's there to be the guy, so he should be getting plenty of looks.

They need railo to take a big jump. Ben, go ahead, Ben. Hey, I text you a while ago on the KSR tech machine about, my family's the one that owns the Safari company, so I just thought I'd give you a couple of tips before you head out. Yeah, give me a safari tip. All right. Well, you, if you're worried about being a manly man,

just bring a couple dollars with you. You guys will have plenty of chances. You can just be the guy that, like, tips $5 for carrying everyone's bag or, like, do a couple of dollars. All right. So I look mainly by paying money. Okay, what else? Yeah, there you go.

But on the same time, be careful. The new, like, scam that's going around there is if you say you have a ride coming and it says Jones on a piece of paper, some local will write Jones on a piece of paper and try to get you to, like, give them money and get in their car so just be careful of that. If you are trying to buy something, just lie and say you're from Canada.

You'll get a better price on something than if you say you're from America. I've actually heard that before. Like, can they think Americans have all the money? So, Shannon, I should be, maybe I could be. Sweden, I think I want to be Sweden. I think I want to be sweet. I just tell me you work for the NFL, like Drew.

Well, then they'll think I have more money. Just tell me you know me. No, no, yeah. I'm trying to think what would be a good country. Last thing gets an actual serious point. Oh, sorry, go ahead. No, go ahead. A serious point.

That number that I text you on is like life happened. So if someone, you know, gets sick and you guys have, like, it's kind of a sketchy place in the world. Something goes bad. So we do own a lot of stuff around there. So if you need some pull with something, then feel free to. Do me a favor. Send that again, like right after you get the phone so I can save it, okay? Okay.

All right. Appreciate it. Thank you very much. There you go. I also saw a thing that said when you're in your little safari vehicle, don't make, don't jump up and down or make big movements. Because that's what you were going to be doing. Well, I could see me flinging my arms, though, when I'm talking to tell the story. So I'm going to have to sit on my hands as I'm telling stories so that I don't attract a lion.

Yeah, don't make eye contact with the lions. Hey, line. Don't stand. My man. My man. Calm down. My main. My main. I appreciate your work.

Well, played, Shannon. Jacob. Go ahead, Jacob. Hi, good morning, and I hope you all are doing well. Matt, I wanted to thank you for inspiring me to start walking more. Actually, I went on 10-mile walk my longest so far this past weekend. I've lost like 30 pounds of the summers from walking more. My question is, what's very kind of you?

That's very kind of you to say, and I'm glad that you're doing that. You're going to be much healthier. I answer a couple questions. Like, what kind of, like, motivated you get started on these long walks? Like, how many miles a week on average do you walk? And, like, do you, like, map out your routes beforehand? But, again, thank you so much. Appreciate it.

You know, sometimes you just look at a picture of yourself. Like, I'm a, my weight fluctuates in my face, like, pretty big. So, like, I can, and my weight fluctuates in general, pretty big. I'm at one of my smallest weights now, but before I went to Europe last year, I was at one of my biggest. And so, you know, sometimes you just look at a picture of yourself, Shannon, you're like, oh. Yeah, I need to do something about that. I need to do something. And then when I was in Europe, like, you walk everywhere there. Like, they don't, cars, they're not as big into cars. They're trains and walking.

So I just got used to walking, and I think you can also learn a city better when you're walking. I know New York really well because I walk it all the time. But then like when we were in Pittsburgh, I could never really figure out where I was, in part because I wasn't walking to figure out where it was. You get a sense of where the city is. So yeah, and as far, do I have a route? I definitely have a Louisville route. Louisville's such a so much better of a walking city than Lexington. Lexington, it's just hard to walk here.

I now have a Lexington route, kind of go downtown by campus. I usually now do it at night. I've got like a seven mile loop that I can do. And then Louisville, usually up and down Bardstown Road, into, you know, the Cherokee Park, sometimes downtown. But yeah, I like it. It's just good for me because I, the gym, going to the gym to me feels like going to war. It's the same thing.

You just like I love Sonny, who was my trainer and I'll still probably use her again. She was awesome, but like every time I win, I was like, oh gosh. Whereas walking, I find pleasant, especially like during this West Coast trip for the Reds, leave my house Shannon at 10, turn the Reds on the Reds on the radio, and then walk and listen. That's what I do. Don't miss your chance to play with and support Kentucky-based charities with Commonwealth causes. Queen of Hearts 50-50 raffle takes place every Thursday. That's tomorrow.

Hey, I'm Deanna Maria Riva, actress, mother, lover, and a Gen X woman walking through life, one hot flash and hormonal crying jag at a time. You ladies know what I mean.

I'll bet you a paramedipausal chin here you do. So let's talk about it. Join me on my new podcast. How hard can it be with Deanna Maria Riva, where I call on my Gen X squads from Ohio to Hollywood as we navigate Midlife's most fantastic BS. All of a sudden, I'd had hanginess happening on my own. I was like, what the hell is that? I was married when I had her, so I didn't even consider how empty that nest was going to be. Mood swings, night sweats, fupas, sex drive.

Wait, what sex? Dating at 45. How high can it be? Getting naked at 50 with the new guy. That one's kind of hard, you know? Well, that's lighting. They say we can't polish a turd, but we're sure going to try. So let's get blunt with laughs, tears, or tears of laughter,

and dive into it, unfiltered and unbothered and ask, how hard can it be? I cannot believe I'm about to say this out loud in public. Listen to How Hard Can It Be with Diana Maria Riva as part of my Cultura podcast network available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Watermark, Techie Sports Radio, 8592,000. 80 2287. One thing that I found ridiculous in the news,

Auburn has claimed four more national championships in football. They just said, all right, now we have nine. And they picked random years and were like, if things were fair, we would have won it then. Well, they could talkie basketball can claim like three or four more. Yeah. I mean, they were like, in 2004, we were on probation. But we still should have gotten it because now those rules are legal.

And so they just gave themselves the title. They also gave themselves the title in like 1897 or something. Those are the ones you got a claim. Nobody can challenge it. I feel like I'm challenging it. I don't think, first of all, I don't think anything starts before there was a tournament. Anytime it was just fat old men voting, it doesn't count. So for me, none of the national championships are valid until they started having at least that BCS title game.

What about Kentucky football, though? Except ours. Ours is fair. 19, what was it? Our 1951 is good. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, because we won that. We won the orange ball, I believe. They do have one year, I think, they can't just claim it, but they didn't get hosed pretty bad from the old men voting. Didn't they go undefeated one season and still they're like, yeah, it's too bad? But you don't just get to say so we win. I would hear them out on that one, though. You're going to let them just say we get to win. That won, just that one.

What about Central Florida? Didn't they go undefeated one year? And they. Yeah, they're claiming it too. It's a flawed system. You don't just get to claim. Like, you don't just get to claim we won the title. You don't. You either won it or you didn't. I would argue nobody that won a voted title one. But if we're going to say that, you're going to do it, you have to have gotten something.

It can't just be, yeah, looking back, feels like that was me. I can't just go back in history and go, yeah, we played Cook and Fleener in the high school tennis doubles championship. Yeah, we lost, but no. We're really won, even though we lost. We really won in the eyes of the Lord. Champions of life. Yeah, so me and Bob, we're the champs now. You don't get to do that.

I think we should try, though. We can get you a trophy. Which ones are we claiming? Well, the year we beat LSU, they went on to win the national championship. Oh, we're claiming a football. But as I see it, we beat LSU, and they're the national champion. I was going to go 2015 in basketball, but you took that completely different direction. Well, Matt and I already tried to claim that one and end up in court.

Didn't we win the NIT one year when it was better than the NCAA allegedly? Well, the years were on probation, we just created a tournament. Let's claim those. Yeah. You know what? Last year, the BBN Invitational was the national championship. And this year, the Kentucky tip-off classic presented by Kentucky Tourism is the national championship. Titles.

I can't believe they were just like 2004. Yep. That's ours. They saw Trump calling in his golf championships. That's exactly what I think that's what they did. I still win the 2020 election. We still won the 2004 National Championship. Is that a good one?

I think it was the first time you've done your Donald on here. You're welcome. Tom, go ahead, Tom. Hey, guys, I just wanted to ask your opinion. I got a chance to watch the Tigers game last night against Astros and was really disappointed at the end of the game. game. So both pitchers went scoreless, six and seven, seven innings. They bring in the bullpen. They go scoreless for a couple innings. And then they started into 10th inning with putting the

runner on second base. Tigers get the Astros out. Tigers get up. They put their guy on second base. Leadoff hitter hits a sacrifice fly. The guy goes the third. So the Astros walk potentially their guy to try to set up a double play. They did that the night. They did that day with the reds. Yeah. Yeah. So I did. What do you got to think about that new rule? I like it, but you're exactly, you just gave the scenario where it feels a little cheap, which is the starts on second, sacrifice gets them the third, sacrifice gets them on. That does feel a little bit cheap.

So I get it. I would say for me, I think I like the runner being on because I think the extra innings can take way too long. I might say Shannon start them on first because you actually have to do something to get them. I'm told the reason they didn't do it is they were like that gives an advantage to a team that has a really fast guy that's there on first and they can just steal second and then they're in the same thing. But then that gives you incentive to have fast guys, right? So I, you know. I don't love the rule, but it is what it is. And I would say for the team that's batting at the top of the tent, they could have done the same thing.

They could have done a sacrifice to get the guy in. So in general, I'm for six and one half dozen the other. I appreciate the call. In general, I'm for it. The reds have been awful at it this year. The reds are like two and nine in those games and rarely get their runner home. But on some level, like that's a skill you need to learn in the same way like soccer teams teach their teams to do penalty kicks a certain way, knowing that sometimes games will come down to that. Probably managers need to teach their team what they do in the 10th when a guy's on second.

If I were a manager, I would bunt to the right side, move them to the third, then hit a long fly ball. Two out, it's better run scores. There you go. Now you put the pressure on the hunting. But what he's saying, that happened with the Reds the other night. That guy got to third, so then they walked Ellie, and then they walked the guy after Ellie. But it ended up hurting them because the next guy then got like a double in the gap and they won. So, you know, the crazy Reds Braves games, that was 12-11.

That's how the Braves won. It was both teams were hot, and then he got to the 10th and it was just sack-floss, sack-fly run. Yeah, it's a little, it feels cheap. I get it, but it's way it goes. Ben, go ahead, Ben. Hey Matt, how's it going? Good. How are you? Good. So my question is, who do you think in the past decade or two has been the best Kentucky alumni in the NBA in their prime? Well, in their prime, it's probably, I mean, Shea won the MVP, so I guess it has to be Shea.

If you're looking at totality of career, I'd probably say Anthony Davis. But if you're looking in their prime who hit the best peak, Drew, it's probably Shea, right? He won the NBA. He just had one of the best seasons you could possibly have. Matt, I like your show until you start talking politics. I don't agree with your ways, but I listen to get news about UK sports. If you continue to mention politics in your show, you will lose me and other listeners. Well, sorry. First of all, no, you won't. You'll stay.

But secondly, I mean, you know we've done this forever. So, like, you must be a new listener. If you didn't realize that. And I'm sure we've lost a few. but I want to keep life interesting and it's impossible, unfortunately, to not to talk about what's going on and not mention that stuff

because it's everywhere now. It's become a huge part of everything everybody does. And we don't have UK news either. Yeah, I mean, what are you going to say? What's the UK news? We can't create it. Yeah, I mean, what's the UK news? Like, Mark Stubes is motivated

like how many times can be saying? Heck yeah, hell yeah. Bush Hamden's telling the offensive line to breathe through their nose. Yep, that was a big news yesterday. Yeah. See, there's the UK news he's looking for. Breathe through your nose.

I didn't hear this. What happened? He's telling him breathe through their nose, Shannon. Because it relaxes you. You get more oxygen into your bloodstream, and that's what he wants his. So he tells our offensive linemen to breathe through their nose. Yep, that was Shi'age Pete that said that. Really?

Well, you do, when you do like meditation, they tell you to do that. In through your nose out through your mouth. Yeah, that's how you do meditation. In through your nose. Like when I can't sleep, they taught me that. And it actually was one of the few things along with cornbread hemp that helped. If you breathe through your nose out through your mouth, you intentionally extend it for like six seconds. And you do that enough, it just slows your heart rate down and you're just, and you can't, you can't think about anything else, which can help you fall asleep.

So I do that quite often. I didn't think, though, that would be good. I don't want to fall asleep on playing football. And they certainly shouldn't have cornbread help before they play football. Basically, we just need Pete to do every interview because that's when we get our best. stuff is when Pete is from in front of a camera. He's the best. Did you see they did the lake retreat? And do you know what a blob is?

Was in the movie? Yeah. Pete was the one bouncing onto the blog. Some of the guys, I don't think have landed yet. But I mean, how fun would that be having Pete down a jump on that thing? This may surprise you, but when I went to camp Rockmont in Black Mountain, North Carolina, the blob terrified me. As someone who's not a big swimmer, the blob was a terrifying thing.

I never got to experience it, just in the movie heavy way. Always wanted to. Yeah. And that's what they called it, was the blob, too. One person writes, Matt, if you want to increase your core strength while you're walking, add a weighted vest, it makes it to where you don't have to walk as far, and you will strengthen your core muscles. But wouldn't that be hot?

I saw a guy doing it at the state fair. And I go, the state fair seems like a strange place for a guy to be running around with a weighted vest on. But there's a woman that doesn't the parking garage here. So I wasn't going to bring that up, but since you brought it up. I see here all the time. And there's a woman here who every day at lunch where's the way vest? And somebody, Billy, like, well, not just him, honestly. There's a lot of people involved in this show that have a major crush on this woman.

The people that are not present. Really, it's everyone that's not here right now. Think about who's on this show right now. And then take the other three people who have some role in this show. I've never seen her. I had never seen her until they mentioned her. I've never seen her, but they talk about her like they're talking about this angel that's descended from heaven.

Down to P3. I'm not kidding. Well, we don't have to say what floor it is. It's three options. But Shannon, the three people that are not here, this is a regular thing. But she apparently does the vest, right? Is there any chance that maybe Ryan's not really dropping off Josiah and he's out walking around with a weighted vest on the parking lot right now?

Probably not. I saw it for the first time just maybe even yesterday. I mean, it is a full workout in the parking garage. I never would consider doing that. It's hot down there. That's why. I don't even like walking just to my car. Yeah.

Well, I've never seen this person. But I've heard, as they would say, I've heard tail. And people get. The Jason tail. I haven't. Are you going to get a weighted vest now? They're popular in my neighborhood. I see people wearing them all the time.

I feel like that wouldn't be comfortable. How much does it weigh? Choose your own adventure. You can pick which weight? Yeah, you can show off. I feel like I would do that and then I'd get down to like, you know, I'd get over there to like the Starbucks and Chevy Chase and just fall down. I had to Uber home from a walk one time.

That's what I think. It is embarrassing to Uber home. I've done it too. And sometimes that's, that is embarrassing. Let's go to Matt. Go ahead, Matt. Yeah, I got a little baseball. trivia question.

All right. In 1927, Bay Ruth hit 60 home runs. All right. Who led the major leagues in RBI that year? Tootie McHenderson.

I have no idea. Who was it? It was Bay Bruce batted third, Lou Gehrig batted fourth, and Lou Gehrig hit 175 RBIs coming to the plate 60 times was nobody on base.

There you go. See, Shannon didn't even know that. No, I did. I was going to say Pui-W-Ree-Ree's. Yeah, I had no idea. Thank you very much. 859-2-8-28027. Who had the 1928? That could be the whole show one day. That was Tootie McHenderson or whatever you said.

Patriot Papal. Go ahead. What's up, guys? Quick comment. And interested to hear you. your take on this with Ask Anything Wednesday. In honor of college football season starting the game in Ireland between Kansas State and Iowa State, top 25 maxup, matchup.

Yeah, it's the Formaghan game. Ironic that they're doing this in Dublin, Ireland, home with a potato famine a long time ago, what are your top five college football rivalry game names? I'll go ahead and give you four. Armageddon as one of the top five because I think it's awesome. I'll hang up and listen to your comments. Armageddon's good. Boy, I don't know.

There's one that's like what, battle for the battle acts? Yeah. Appreciate the call. I like the Iron Bowls good. What do they call? The Egg Bowl. I like Egg Bowl. I don't know why. I like the Egg Bowl because it's Thanksgiving and it's usually just. Oh, it's not anymore. They moved it. Well, yeah, that's true. It used to be Thanksgiving. What are the other ones?

What's the one we talked about on the gambling podcast? There was, the small schools. Oh yeah, it was the battle for the river or the creek. I think it was prostate creek. They were battling. There's the Red River Showdown. Is that what you're talking about? Yeah, that's Oklahoma, Texas. Now there's one, it was like Awanita College and something. We talked about it on Fade this a long time ago. They both, and then they sent a shirts from it, if you remember correctly. There's the backyard brawl. I like that one. Yeah. In West Virginia. Back yet, yeah. A friend of mine writes and says, Matt, everyone nowadays is wearing the weighted vest. I didn't know that.

And the breathing, that style of breathing is called Shannon, smell the flower, blow out the candle. Oh, you got a lot of candles to blow out. Smell the flower. Yeah. Blow out the candle. It's like meditation radio. I feel like kind of. We turn to NPR.

And this is what the big blue wall is going to do. That worries me. It's kind of like the wineman. Yeah. Do you think they get in the huddle and say, smell the flower, blow out the candle? I could see Shiaj P. doing that. Here we go. Together, smell the flower.

Blow out the candle. Tell me about Stockton. Yeah, little garlic before the game. I like it. I would be honored to tell you about Stockton Mortgage. Matt, you know, fireworks are great. They're really great in July, but they're still good in August. And so is making the most of your home.

What's up guys? This is Clivert Taylor the 4th. And on my podcast, The Cliverts Show, I'm bringing you conversations about all kinds of stuff. Like being an internet famous referee. We're in the middle of a game. This linebacker, this linebacker walks up to me, He goes, hey, ref, my mom wants you to wave at her.

What? Time out. Quarterback on office blue of 42. Hey, ref, my mama want you to wave at her. What? Where's she at? Hey, Ms. Parker. Listen to the Cliverts show on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast.

Hey, it's Edwin Castro, also known as Castro 1021. And I'm Konky, his best friend, and big. Business Manager. And we've got a new show called The 1021 Podcast. I'm taking you behind the scenes on how I became one of Twitch's most popular streamers. We also love sports. And with the World Cup right around the corner, we'll be breaking down the biggest storylines ahead of the big tournament here in the USA.

Listen to the 1021 podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano. podcast point game is about defying the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game.

His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid. He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too.

Steve Nash will get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He running up the court, licking his fingers why he got the ball. Like, after you go through a training camp with that, Isaiah, you figure it out real quick. Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball. So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you. you get your podcasts. Cajun, Hanger 54 Pizza.

It's all there. You download the Clark's Rewards app. You get all kinds of discounts. At some point I got to get on this, have apps. Not just in general, but like, I see people at Clarks, and they, like, scan it and they get, like, all this stuff, and it's like 43 cents. Usually, like, free drinks. I mean, at McDonald's, people are getting, like, long things, and it's like $1.20.

It's a lot of work. But the Clark's Pump and Shop app is worth it. They're more than just a stop for gas and snacks. their local folks giving back to the community at Clark's pumping shop, return, refresh, refuel. Shannon, do you do that? Do you will do all the saving apps for all places? Some of them, I will. But I'm not one of these people that walks around and has 20 different things hanging from their keychain. You know, I'll do like one or two. The place I go the most. The McDonald's one is tough because like people are like, they'll go, do you have McDonald's hat?

And they'll go, hang on, I'm pulling it up. I have done that one before. It's like, come on. I would never fight with my wife, but if we did, most of our fights would be in the McDonald's line. But I'm saying, just give me the four numbers or I'm going to order like a normal human being. It could be trouble. People love it. I mean, they love their McDonald's app.

I caved. I got it recently. Yeah, I had it. Honestly, the first time I ever used it, I was with my dad, who's also old school. I were using the app. And I mistakenly ordered at a different location than the way we were at. so it wasn't a good first track. I don't understand how this stuff works.

So like, like, take like good RX pharmacy. Do you all know what that is? It's like an app. It costs, well, first of all, it's free, but then you can do like a subscription that's like $10 a month or something. I had a medication a while back that was like $380.

And I went to the people and I'm like, why is this so much? And they were like, just download. I said, fine. So I downloaded this app, scanned it. It was $3.31. How does that happen? Explain to me what that business model is. What is the business model where it's $380? I download an app, just hit a button, and it's $3.81.

Who does that make sense for? Does it make sense for the pharmacy? Does it make sense for the drug company? Who? How? Are they selling advertisements on that app or something? I don't know. I don't understand the price discrepancy. So, I mean, I was like, thank, thank you. And then they go, honestly, most things, it'll do that. And it's just an app. I don't get it. Do you, do you know why that would be the case? I'm familiar with the app, but not, I've never heard like something that extreme on it. So we don't need insurance. You just need the app. And everything, everything works out. There's an app for everything. Yeah. Pete, go ahead, Pete. Hello? What are you today? I'm good Pete, how are you? Nice to hear from you.

Yeah, hey, listen, I bring up to make a bit of an apology because last time I call to come across as a bit of a grumpy old man about South Africa. But really, it was just out of concern. Yes, you were being kind. You were trying to help me. I didn't, I didn't. I wasn't upset at you.

Well, anyway, on September the 6th, at 9.05, South African time, the Springbox will be playing the All Blacks at Eden Park in New Zealand. Okay? Yeah. Now, I know you don't think this is a, it's a huge deal in South Africa. You know, a really big deal. It's their number one game.

They have a world champion. And, you know, you'll be over there. No, I won't yet. I don't leave till September 11th. Oh, okay. Well, September the 13th. Okay. What's on September 13?

All Blacks versus Springboks at the Wellington Stadium in New Zealand. And the game is at 705 South Africa's time. I'll be there for that. So you're telling me that South Africa will be excited on that Saturday for All Blacks versus Wellington. Well, can I give you a wee bit of just a little bit of history?

Just like a little. bit. Okay. Well, the All Blacks haven't been beaten in Eden Park for 31 years. Wow. Right. Okay, so this is the game. This is the game. So I actually am free that night. That's like one of the two nights I have free. So where would you suggest, I think I'm going to be in Johannesburg that night, where would you suggest I watch the game? If you would let me, I'll find out for you and get back to you. Please do, because I'd love to be in, I love being in a place and soaking up the atmosphere of people excited about a sporting event. So I would love to do that. Well, well, it's huge.

Anyway, the last thing I'd like to know is what's your size? You've got to be more specific. What part of me are you talking? Your clothing size. Yeah, first. shirt, for a shirt, most shirts, XL, if it fits small, 2X. Okay, and do you prefer short or long sleeves? Long.

Okay, well, is there some way, I've got a little present for you that should arrive in a few days. That's very nice. KS. Bar, if you send anything to me at KS Bar, I will get it. And that address is online. It would be nice to shake your hand as well. Then you just, when we reopen the bar next week, we will be there almost, not every, but almost every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

So any of those days, just stop by. Okay. Okay, well, it's a bit of a talisman. And in our culture, we have talism. I just can't give you one. Okay. All right, thank you, Pete. I appreciate it.

All right. Appreciate it. What is it? What is it? What is it? I've heard the word, but what is it? I'm not sure, but I did look up that game, the match. Yeah?

It is a big deal. Does anybody know what the talisman is? It is an object typically inscribed to in ringer stone. Oh, here we go. An object believed to possess magical properties used for protection, healing, or good luck. So he probably wants me to take that on my trip. Yeah, you're going to need that. It's very nice.

That's a nice fellow. That's a nice fellow. And there's Bob and James town. Go ahead. Bob. He's a nice fellow. How about that Anthony Davis $4 million donation at the Zama boss?

Wait a minute. When did that? Where is this? Outstanding. Anthony Davis? Anthony Davis donated $4 million back to an athletic department. Was this? Now that's his stand-up guy. I didn't see that. When did this happen, Bob?

This past week. Did it? A.D. Good. Did anybody see that? I didn't see it. But Bob, Mario, did you see that? Shannon, did you see that?

I'm willing to believe Bob. No. Bob, where did, I just out of curiosity, where did you hear that? It was on recent media. What media? Truth Social? No, it's on a TV. Oh, on TV.

I'd pull it up. I mean, that's a pretty big donation. I mean, I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm looking. I don't see it. It was on the TV, though. Yeah. Okay. $4 million?

$4 million. Mm-hmm. All right. Breaking news. And he's one of the highest paid, you know, NBA players, but, I mean, that's pretty nice that donation. All right. Well, I appreciate the call. The top result on Google is Anthony Davis donates $400 million to Kentucky, and it's a Facebook group that's not real.

That's $400 million. He said $400 million. Yeah, I think he fell for a fake post while also getting the number wrong by $100 million or by $396 million. Here it is on Facebook. Recently donated $4 million. But again, it's Facebook. What does it say? Who wrote it?

It doesn't say. It's not on On 3 out of it. I mean, he did donate. At some point, I think he donated money for flood relief, didn't he? That's been three years ago. So I think he did that.
