Listener Feedback: Shador Sanders’ NFL Draft Experience

Welcome to hour two of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones.

[Matt Jones]

Welcome back to Sports Radio. Hour number two. Still going to keep the phone lines closed. Still got a lot of stuff to talk to. We may be able to do it at the end. Our fans vote Yukon.

[Drew]

Yukon.

[Matt Jones]

More yukon votes than St. John's votes. That surprise you at all?

[Drew]

A little bit. I think we've got that Rick Patino love back. We want to see him on the court against us.

[Matt Jones]

I think Kentucky fans though, at the end of the day, they want to play good teams. It's one of the things that I, I think has been clear over the years. Kentucky fans don't want to see us play, you know, Texas Commerce. I mean they want to see us play good teams. And UConn would be historically probably the best team.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, we owe UConn. They've gotten us in the tournament a couple times. It's more about getting some vengeance. Some, some revenge too.

[Drew]

We have a losing record against UConn overall.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. They're one of only a handful of teams we do this at Trivia, by the way. Trivia is tomorrow night, 7:00 KS Bar. They're one of the few teams that has a winning record number. There's only like four teams in history that have a winning record against us that have played five or more games.

[Ryan Lemon]

We're one in four.

[Matt Jones]

It's like Yukon, maybe Tulane.

[Drew]

St. Louis was one of them.

[Matt Jones]

So it's Yukon, St. Louis and I think Duke, although I think we were one down and we beat him last year. So maybe that's, maybe that's changed. But, but Yukon, I think Yukon, we have the worst cumulative record against than any other team.

[Drew]

Yeah. For one in four.

[Matt Jones]

I think the only time we beat him was John Wall, right?

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah. The game I got punched. That was still a loss.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. The guy that won there is a video of him. Shannon. It's a great video. He is wearing a tank top and he's got tats and he's got, and he's got his, his woman with him named Linda Grizzly. And the two of them, two of them are ready to go. I think Shannon, with their now $167 million.

[Shannon]

The description you just gave is everything. I want to be in a lottery winner, especially from Georgetown, Kentucky.

[Matt Jones]

He can take a $77 million cash out or he can get it paid over the years.

[Shannon]

Which one you going with?

[Matt Jones]

Well, he's an older guy. I say take the cash.

[Shannon]

Yeah, right.

[Matt Jones]

If you were young. If you were young, maybe you. But if you're. I think if you take the cash, if you. If you're. If you're a little bit older.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, I'd probably wait it out, but if you put it in front of me, I don't know if I'd have that same. Same plan in mind.

[Matt Jones]

Spend it.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah. I wouldn't blow it. I'd invest most of it and, you know, just make a little more of them.

[Matt Jones]

What?

[Ryan Lemon]

Something gets me 5 or 6% on 70 million. That keep me all right for a little while.

[Matt Jones]

So how much would you just like. You got to blow some of it.

[Ryan Lemon]

Oh, I'm certainly loading up the boys for a Vegas trip right away.

[Matt Jones]

6. Here's what I'm doing. I'm putting 60 million in. Actually, I'm putting 55 million in. Whatever. And I'm taking. I'm taking 22 million and saying houses. We'll get me a private plane.

[Drew]

Buy the reds.

[Matt Jones]

I think they're worth a little more than $22 million. Not a lot, but a little bit. That's what I'm going to do. And then put the 55 million in and just kind of make a couple.

[Ryan Lemon]

More million a year. Just letting it sit there.

[Matt Jones]

I said, how much does Clark's pumping shop get? Because they get money.

[Drew]

Yeah, it's like 10 or 15%, I think, something like that.

[Matt Jones]

10 or 15, they get that much?

[Drew]

It seems to me like it was a pretty big number. I may be totally wrong.

[Shannon]

Okay, I'll look.

[Matt Jones]

Shannon. What? What? The number is what Clark's pumping shot. Because that if you're business.

[Drew]

Yeah. They celebrate the fact they sold a winning ticket. Absolutely.

[Matt Jones]

We should raise our ad prices here for Clark's puppet show.

[Ryan Lemon]

I looked it up during the break. Actually. It's Reddit, so, you know, trusted source here. But it says it's usually 5 to 6%, depending on the state.

[Drew]

I thought it was more than that.

[Matt Jones]

Three and a half million dollars, dude. I mean, that's great for a business.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

For to believe Reddit. Hey, you can be getting a call. I know you get. Your ad budget just went up. No. Wow. All right, cool. Okay. I have a present for you three.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. They're a syndicate that takes. That buys horses. Well, I am invested in one of the horses.

[Drew]

Oh, you are?

[Matt Jones]

That is in the Oaks. Oh. And I have bought you all shares.

[Drew]

Wow. No kidding.

[Matt Jones]

So you three and me, we are part owners of a horse called Simply Joking.

[Drew]

Oh, that sounds like a winner.

[Shannon]

Oh, yes.

[Matt Jones]

Simply Joking is our horse.

[Drew]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

And it's in the. The Oaks. It is on the. It's starting in the two hole. It's ten to one. It's live, Shannon. It's a live horse. Not only is it live horse, we're winning.

[Drew]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

All right. I'm going Friday, sitting in the owner's suite.

[Drew]

You could be in the winner's circle.

[Matt Jones]

Not. Not could be joined.

[Ryan Lemon]

We will be, will be.

[Matt Jones]

Will be, will be. And you all are now part of the ownership.

[Drew]

Oh, thank you. How about that?

[Matt Jones]

So the horse you. Well, I mean, do I get the leg? No, you get, like, the ass. Three of the hairs on the tail. I'm not saying you own Shannon a lot of the horse you own. A tiny, tiny bit of the little pit bull, but it's real. And when are you going to ever have a horse in the Oaks again?

[Drew]

Never, ever, ever, never.

[Matt Jones]

All right, so, by the way, those listening, y'all can join us. Yeah, we'll talk more about this tomorrow, but it's joincommonwealth.com it actually, the shares kind of go on sale today, so you might want to get in.

[Ryan Lemon]

I'm not only ready. I'm so confident I already know we're going to win. Like, I'm already looking to next Oaks when we have another horse based on winning this one. Like, I'm seeing the beginning of a dynasty here.

[Amica Insurance]

Cox, by the way, the Netflix show.

[Drew]

I love it.

[Matt Jones]

First of all, it's really good.

[Drew]

It's well done.

[Matt Jones]

Race for the Crown Yep. Highly recommended. Even if you don't love horse racing, there's a lot about Kentucky.

[Drew]

Oh, yeah, it's.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, it's Kentucky centric. I'd say next to wrestlers, there's not been a show that shows more Kentucky on. On something. Okay, so has it. Have everybody seen it? Is anybody. Have you seen it? Shannon, I'll just talk to you. Right? What about the dude from Miami?

[Drew]

Oh, my goodness. I call him a douchebag. Can I say douchebag on the radio?

[Shannon]

I think he just did twice.

[Drew]

Okay. But when I think of somebody who's a douchebag, it is him.

[Ryan Lemon]

Three times.

[Matt Jones]

Three times.

[Drew]

He is King Douchebag.

[Shannon]

Let's call him D.P.

[Drew]

Just say D. Okay.

[Ryan Lemon]

He's a D. You could meet this guy now that you're in the industry.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I mean, he's one of our fellow owners.

[Drew]

Oh, he is?

[Matt Jones]

No, no, no. Not of our horse.

[Drew]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

I just mean in the industry. All right, you guys that are watching the show, he's in episode one. You have to watch this guy, like, every stereotype of Miami. Like, come on, dude. He's all of them, right?

[Ryan Lemon]

Seems to be one of the most unlikable people on the planet.

[Drew]

No shirt, sport coat. He wears sunglasses.

[Matt Jones]

He goes to the derby in a suit with no shirt.

[Drew]

Yeah, I know you could do that.

[Shannon]

Something Mr. Pectacular would do.

[Matt Jones]

Did you know you could go to the derby? Derby in a suit with no shirt?

[Ryan Lemon]

I know what I'm doing for the Oaks.

[Shannon]

Shirtless.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, shirtless.

[Drew]

You got to be completely tan, though. You got to have that tan going on.

[Matt Jones]

He said he tans every day.

[Drew]

Every day?

[Matt Jones]

Every day.

[Drew]

Every shot. He's got dark sunglasses on. It's amazing.

[Matt Jones]

Here's what I didn't know how much these owners fight with each other.

[Drew]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, so there's two owners in one episode. One of them is the guy who. He kind of looks kind of goofy. What's his name?

[Drew]

John.

[Matt Jones]

No, no, no. That. No, no. Jon Stewart's the guy from Lexington. The other guy.

[Drew]

Repoli. Repoly.

[Matt Jones]

Repoli. Rapoli or Rapoli or whatever. Repoli.

[Drew]

Repoly poly.

[Matt Jones]

He. And then there's a guy from Lexington, John Stewart. Do you know him?

[Drew]

I do know Jon Stewart.

[Matt Jones]

How do you know him? He's apparently a billionaire that lives in Lexington. I didn't know that.

[Drew]

He owns Middle Ground out here off Newtown Pike. He also owns the. Owns the secret speakeasy that I get to go to.

[Ryan Lemon]

Oh, here we go. Here we go.

[Matt Jones]

He owns the. He owns the Place you go to where?

[Drew]

Disclose where it is.

[Ryan Lemon]

But yes, I think you've already disclosed where it is.

[Drew]

I hope I have it. You can't get in. It's got a code. You can't get in without.

[Matt Jones]

So he owns that. I thought, I thought jp.

[Drew]

JP owns another one.

[Ryan Lemon]

That's a second Orion goes to the one. He's definitely said where it is. I won't say it again, but it's the other one.

[Drew]

Well, I just know of three, but two of them are private. The one that's open is Trifecta over there off Winchester Road.

[Ryan Lemon]

That's not really a speakeasy.

[Matt Jones]

That's just a speakeasy by its definition. You can't just walk in.

[Drew]

Well, then there's two. Two secret ones.

[Matt Jones]

So you go to the. So do you know this billionaire? Yeah, you know Jon Stewart?

[Drew]

I mean, he doesn't know me, but we've talked a couple of times when I've been there.

[Matt Jones]

Interesting. Well, he is in there. He's always fighting with the other guy.

[Drew]

He's like the common man. These other guys are the.

[Matt Jones]

He's a billionaire. How's he's a common man?

[Drew]

Well, you know, he wears a T shirt and shorts.

[Matt Jones]

The other guys are wearing.

[Shannon]

Son of a plumber. Or is he like.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, he's a billionaire. By definition, a billionaire is not a common man.

[Drew]

Well, he, I think he represents us in the fight against the slicked back Miami dude.

[Matt Jones]

You mean the guy in the speakeasy that no one can know where it is? He represents the common man in this, in this series?

[Drew]

He does, yeah. He's Lexington, Kentucky. He wears a T shirt. Go John.

[Ryan Lemon]

It's all about the T shirts.

[Matt Jones]

Anyway, I do highly recommend.

[Drew]

It's really good.

[Matt Jones]

It's really good. And it's filmed well. And they do that thing. They got the cameras on the, the, the jockeys and, and you know, they sell the crowd. Like, you see. I, I was just looking for people I knew in the background.

[Drew]

Me too.

[Matt Jones]

In the first few episodes, I saw Andy Barr.

[Drew]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

I saw Todd Lanter. Oh, I missed him in the background of one of the shots, you know. Did you see anybody else that you knew just standing around? I kept looking.

[Drew]

What? Kenny Rice is in the.

[Matt Jones]

Kenny Rice is in it? Yes.

[Drew]

Because Kenny McPeak, obviously. Spoiler alert. Wins the Oaks in the Derby. And he's from here in Lexington.

[Matt Jones]

Yes. Yeah, that's not. I mean, he did win. Yes. He's in it a lot. A lot. Yeah. They're at Keeneland.

[Drew]

They're At Keeneland.

[Matt Jones]

Quite a bit in Lexington. So it's. It's a very good show. I didn't realize you knew the billionaire John Stewart.

[Drew]

He. He does have any idea who I am, but we've talked a couple times.

[Ryan Lemon]

You've been in a speakeasy. I'm sure he knows.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

So how do you get in if you don't?

[Drew]

Well, maybe I can't reveal my sources.

[Shannon]

You know the code.

[Matt Jones]

Well.

[Shannon]

He just punches in the code. Watching the guy's house.

[Ryan Lemon]

You definitely told us where it is on the show one time. Because I know exactly where it is and how you get in.

[Drew]

Did I say it off the air?

[Ryan Lemon]

No, you said it on the show.

[Matt Jones]

Did he say it on the show? I don't know.

[Ryan Lemon]

You didn't, like, give the code, but you said how you're able to go in a part of town. It's in.

[Drew]

But I didn't say it on the air, did I?

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah.

[Drew]

Okay, we'll take that back.

[Shannon]

You're gonna get.

[Ryan Lemon]

You didn't give the address, the general area.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. So I don't know if he's. People are saying to me, jon Stewart's not a billionaire. They said he was a billionaire, though, on the show.

[Drew]

I think they call him a billionaire on the show. Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Well, anyway, point being, Simply joking is the KSR horse.

[Shannon]

Look at that beautiful horse right there.

[Matt Jones]

Look at that horse. See? And see? I studied that horse.

[Drew]

You did?

[Matt Jones]

I did. I looked for its. Its mane.

[Drew]

Oh, yeah.

[Matt Jones]

And I said, that's a mane that can win the Oaks. And so, Shannon, you figure out which part of the horse is yours. I'm thinking eyelashes, maybe the ears.

[Drew]

Do we know anything about the trainer? The jockey?

[Matt Jones]

The trainer is a young guy, like Walt Whitman. Not Whitman.

[Ryan Lemon]

D. Whitworth. Beckman.

[Matt Jones]

D. Worth. Okay, Beckman. Not. Why did I get Walt Whitman?

[Ryan Lemon]

Great poet. Has nothing to do with this horse.

[Matt Jones]

[Drew]

Yes, you did.

[Matt Jones]

And it didn't happen. And now it feels like it's so late, it's not worth it. If.

[Drew]

[Matt Jones]

It is a great song, Shannon.

[Shannon]

Well, I love this song.

[Matt Jones]

I mean I kind of do love it. If I'm driving along if I'm driving along in a car and I hear this, I will go and girls they wanna have fun. I will.

[Shannon]

I won't go that far. I do like the song.

[Matt Jones]

You won't. You wouldn't sing that.

[Shannon]

No, no, it is.

[Matt Jones]

I like that. The music will not be playing when yeah, but it is. It's. It's our falsetto voice. You don't like it?

[Drew]

I do love it.

[Matt Jones]

She.

[Drew]

But when you do hear an interview with her, she kind of talks that way.

[Matt Jones]

She does that well. She used to. If you hear now oh, she doesn't know.

[Shannon]

I like your version better though.

[Drew]

I do too.

[Shannon]

Now that we have it, we got a new drop.

[Matt Jones]

Girls they wanna have fun. There's it.

[Drew]

I thought we were there with Cindy Lauper.

[Matt Jones]

Spot and it wasn't as it wasn't quite the same actually. I thought it was tomorrow. The sale is actually live now for simply joking. And there are people who've bought chairs. The other one on there so jaded is the one that I am doing more of.

[Shannon]

But do we get like an owner's certificate, proof of ownership?

[Matt Jones]

I don't know. I don't know what all you get. You just get happiness because you're going to win and be happy because we're going to win the we're going to win the Oaks. No, I mean there's no guarantees like it might not win.

[Drew]

Is there a fear that all the KSR bump now the odds will go down?

[Matt Jones]

We'll see.

[Ryan Lemon]

But you know what?

[Matt Jones]

Who cares?

[Drew]

I want that 10 to one paycheck.

[Matt Jones]

Well you maybe you'll get what you there's a lot of money in the Oaks. I don't know that we'll change the odds of anything. Mike Rapoli, the guy we were talking about, he's the guy that gives all the money to patino at St. John's I didn't know that he's the you know, you always hear about the St. John's booster that gives to their nil. That's him.

[Drew]

Him.

[Matt Jones]

So when they sign recruits, that's him.

[Drew]

So he made his money in vitamin water and then body armor with Kobe.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. And now he's paying for St. John's basketball.

[Drew]

About that.

[Ryan Lemon]

Another unlikable character from the show. If he's funding.

[Matt Jones]

All right, let's talk for a second about Shador saying Sanders drops the fifth round. Yeah Sudor pretty amazing story. I mean actually, you know, miss a guy who going into last season was projected to be number one but even going into last week people thought was going in the first round.

[Drew]

Sure.

[Matt Jones]

Doesn't go in the first round, doesn't go in second round, doesn't go in third round drops the fifth round, ends up getting picked by the Browns who had already picked the quarterback earlier. So they had already picked a guy above him.

[Drew]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

In the thing. An amazing precipitous drop. Here's my take, Drew, you tell me yours. First of all, if you didn't think he was if you bring in Shador Sanders, I felt like teams probably thought you have to start him right. There's going to be and if you're going to pick a first round pick, you're going to start them soon. Right. Teams clearly did not believe he was a first round a starter then. I think what happened is once he's not that being Dion's kid works against him at that point. Because there's a sense of, okay, if he's not going to start, if he's not going to be our primary guy, then he's a distraction. Right. Because all the questions at practice are going to be about him. Dion might do press conferences where he says, why is my son not playing? And all of a sudden it's distraction. It's almost like the Tim Tebow effect. Tim Tebow could have been a quarterback in the NFL longer than he was as a backup. But I think people thought, I don't want that guy as a backup because of all the distraction that comes with him being a backup. So I think when you get to the second and third round, teams are drafting people to be backups and they're like, do we want to deal with the Shadora Sanders stuff? And he keeps dropping and dropping and dropping. There's also only six or seven teams in the league that need a quarterback. So you talk about 32 teams, but for a lot of these teams, they're not drafting a quarterback. So if those six or seven teams don't want you, you fall more and more and more. And he ends up getting picked in the fifth round. Has to be a brutal experience for him. What do you think?

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, I mean, I kind of felt bad for him at the same time with his arrogance, whatever. Like the way you decorated thinking you're going to be your first round pick. I mean, his draft setup probably cost more than his first contract, but I've seen a lot of people saying, like, the league blackballed him. There's only so many teams that need a quarterback. Yeah, like, there's only so many teams that could have taken him. And maybe you argue the Giants should have taken him over Jackson Dart, but between the Giants and the Steelers, there weren't many that were even going to consider him anyway. Maybe the Saints. So I think there's been a big overreaction to teams passing on him. I know people are making all kinds of accusations about the league not wanting him. I think it all comes down to the Steelers didn't want him and the Giants didn't want him. And it's come out that his Giants interview was pretty terrible.

[Matt Jones]

Giants interview. They asked him, what would you do if you did this? And he was like, well, if you want me to do that, maybe this isn't the place for me. Well, dude, if there's only six or seven options and you turn half of them off, that's not a good sign.

[Ryan Lemon]

There's only a handful of teams need a quarterback. The Titans got Ward right away. No one's arguing that. So it really came down to him, I guess, just not making it a good enough case for himself with just two or three teams.

[Matt Jones]

And what about Mel Kuiper? I like. Listen, I love Mel Kuiper personally. Mel Kuiper has been very nice to me. But his rant on day three, which I think most people have seen. Oh, yeah, that was a little out of control.

[Drew]

It was. I can't remember who it was. Somebody on, maybe on your shows yesterday, somebody described it to me. Like you guys said, there were only a handful of teams that needed a quarterback. And this quarterback pool was not very strong. Like he said, Cam Ward may have been the fourth best quarterback in last year's draft. So when you got that situation, he can, he can understand why he slid so far because the. He wasn't that good and not many teams needed a quarterback.

[Matt Jones]

Part of why we all cared is he's Deion Sanders kid.

[Drew]

That's it.

[Matt Jones]

Or Sanders. But I think what happened, Shannon, is while that helped him in college, once he started dropping beyond being Dion's kid, then started to hurt him.

[Shannon]

Of course. Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Because at that point, then it's like, are we bringing this massive distraction into our locker room?

[Shannon]

Do you want this drama? Do you want to have to get a phone call saying, why is my kid not playing? That stuff you deal with in Little League? Not in. In the professional level.

[Matt Jones]

And the media, some of the media looks ridiculous. Because it's clear. It's clear. I'm not saying Kuiper maybe, but I doubt it. But some of the other people, it's clear. Dion told them to put him behind the mock drafts. He did. They did. Because no one had him in the fifth round. Almost no one didn't have him in the first.

[Drew]

Correct.

[Matt Jones]

And take for him to drop to the fifth round says that. I'll tell you what it reminded me of. It reminded me of the way collective think happens in politics where we all just believe one thing and then all of a sudden it looks like the other thing. Like when Hillary was ahead in all the polls and we just including me, we were all convinced she's going to win. And then all of a sudden it was like, wait a minute, maybe this is all wrong. Yep, that's kind of what this was. The whole world just believed he was going to be a first round pick. And it looks like the NFL was like, where'd you all get that? That's not what it is.

[Ryan Lemon]

And like I said, it only comes down to a few organizations that are even going to take him anyway. And the other day, those. Those people have jobs on the line to win football games. And if their opinion is he's not going to help us, can be a distraction. That's the story. All the other stuff is just noise about how, you know, this or that the whole league didn't want him. It's. It came down to just a few teams trying to win games. Didn't see him as.

[Matt Jones]

Did you feel sorry for him quickly? Yes, I did.

[Ryan Lemon]

When it got down to 5 through 2 and 3, didn't really care, but at 5, it got down.

[Matt Jones]

I will say this, I actually think he handled it after it about as good as you could. He clearly made mistakes along the way, but when he sort of laughed but cheered at the end, that's the best you could do in that same point. So I do think he did that pretty well. We'll be right back.

[Mint Mobile]

TJ Smith, personal injury attorney.

[Matt Jones]

Call tj.

[Mint Mobile]

He'll make him pay.

[Shannon]

Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio, presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.

[Matt Jones]

Do you think this beat gets you in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame on its own?

[Shannon]

It kind of does because it's a life of its own.

[Drew]

True.

[Matt Jones]

Let's. Let's. What are the biggest songs in history at sporting events? Okay, so. Good question. 772-774-5254. This is on the list now, right? This might be top five.

[Drew]

It's gotta be.

[Matt Jones]

And just the do, do do do do do do. That's it. Like you. I. Who cares about the words? Yeah, it's. It's literally that riff, Shannon is. That's a. That's like one of the most famous riffs in music, isn't it?

[Shannon]

Yep. Especially for sporting events. You said other ones maybe like we will rock you from Queen.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, so let's go through. We will rock you.

[Drew]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

We are the champions. What else? What are the. Like, they used to call them jock jams. But what are the arena. You go to an arena, you're hearing this.

[Ryan Lemon]

Metallica's got a couple. What are they. Shannon? Sure. There's a. I mean, they're saying, man.

[Shannon]

But I don't know.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. I don't know if they play that. Every reason.

[Drew]

That Eminem song. They play a lot. You know. Lose yourself, Lose yourself. Jump, jump. Yeah, yeah.

[Shannon]

Rock and Roll part two.

[Matt Jones]

No, that's a huge one. Okay. That might be. That might be number one. The Mr. Bright side is now one.

[Drew]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Is it really, yo?

[Drew]

For sure, yeah.

[Matt Jones]

What else? I know we're missing them.

[Shannon]

Y'all ready for this? Bump, bump, bump, bump, bump, bump, bump.

[Matt Jones]

I don't know if they played as much now, but they used to always play. You got to move this and move that.

[Drew]

Yeah, well, some of. Yeah, some of them. They don't play as much anymore. They used to. Back in black, AC dc. Welcome to the jungle.

[Matt Jones]

I think this one. I think Rock and Roll part two might be number one.

[Drew]

I think it might be number one.

[Matt Jones]

And I think this one is becoming right there with it.

[Ryan Lemon]

What about Moni? Moni and Dumas Walker?

[Matt Jones]

Well, you and Doom is Walker. That's a good one. What is that?

[Shannon]

I don't even know now.

[Matt Jones]

What is it?

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, what is that song?

[Shannon]

But I can't think of the name of it.

[Matt Jones]

What's the name of that song?

[Ryan Lemon]

Which one's Zombie Nation? I just know the title. Is that.

[Matt Jones]

Is that.

[Shannon]

No, I don't think so.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, well, somebody can let it go.

[Drew]

Good segment.

[Ryan Lemon]

Sweet Caroline.

[Matt Jones]

Final countdown. The final. That's a good one. Well, there's. All right.

[Shannon]

Well, he said, do you say Sweet Caroline?

[Drew]

Drew did.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. 772-774-5254. One person writes, Matt, my bro, my brother, is one of those guys that hangs around the backside at Churchill Downs and gets scoop. He says the horse everyone's talking about for the Oaks is simply joking. A live underdog, three starts, has two.

[Drew]

Firsts and a second.

[Matt Jones]

That's what everybody's talking.

[Drew]

Yes. It's gonna be the favorite by the time it goes off.

[Ryan Lemon]

Do you think they're talking about it because we got involved or. They were already talking about it.

[Matt Jones]

They were talking about it before, and now we're. We're involved. One person writes, Matt Saquon Barkley played golf with Donald Trump yesterday and got a lot of criticism today, and he told people to shut up. If Donald Trump asked you to play golf, would you play?

[Drew]

You'd almost have to for the experience.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, just hang. Everybody just calm down. Me. Let me just go through the thought process. First of all, we've already been to the White House with Trump as president.

[Drew]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

So I would definitely go to the White House.

[Drew]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

If I was an eagle and they went right. I would not make an appearance at a political event with Donald Trump.

[Drew]

Understood.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. So there's the two extremes. Definitely would go to the White House because for me, that's about the office, not the person. Right. Definitely would not make a political appearance because that's about the person not the office. What is playing golf with the president? Is it more about the office or the person? So would I play golf with Obama? Yes. Would I play golf with Trump? Probably, yes. For the story?

[Drew]

Yes. For the experience.

[Matt Jones]

It would be for the experience.

[Shannon]

You could say who chooses?

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah.

[Drew]

You guys play the same way.

[Ryan Lemon]

I read his golf book. Playing with you is essentially the same thing.

[Drew]

You're on the green, pick it up.

[Ryan Lemon]

Never lost a ball.

[Matt Jones]

What a jerk. Would I then, though, have a walk off a plane like Saquon did? Now that I don't know. That's tougher. That's tougher.

[Drew]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

But that's just me now. It's kind of like there's a Democrat, Pete Buddha Jej, who went on Republican podcast. Did you see that? He went on, like, Andrew Schultz.

[Drew]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

And he's getting a lot of flack from the left for doing it. And I think those people need to shut up. You have to go reach people where they are.

[Drew]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Right. So you. I think he should do that, like Joe Rogan and Theo Vaughn. I think if Democrats can go on there, they should, because you want to talk to people that don't listen to.

[Drew]

You every day, hear a different perspective.

[Matt Jones]

Now, let me just guess with you all. I think you would do all of it in my. Even though you don't like Trump, I think you'd do all of it because that's just who you are.

[Drew]

I think you're right. I think I would.

[Matt Jones]

Is there anything you wouldn't do if he asked you if he was doing a political rally here in Lexington with Daniel Cameron, and he said, ryan Lemon, you're my favorite radio host. Would you come introduce me?

[Drew]

I don't know if I'd do that. I would go to the rally maybe, but I don't know if I would.

[Matt Jones]

Stand up there and go to the rally. If you wouldn't stand up there.

[Drew]

No, I don't know if I'd want to introduce. That means I'm supporting that. Supporting.

[Matt Jones]

So you wouldn't do that, but you would definitely play golf.

[Drew]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

What if he wanted to have you over for dinner?

[Drew]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

So really, anything except, like, stand up at a rally?

[Drew]

Do. Yeah, some kind of. Like you said, kind of.

[Matt Jones]

It's an interesting question for everyone listening. What would you do if a president you didn't like wanted you to do it? Right. So if you're a Trump supporter, if Joe Biden said, come play golf with me, would you want to do it now? Let me guess, Drew. I'm going to guess you. I think you do pretty much anything. I don't know if you'd introduce him at a rally, but I think you'd do pretty much everything else, wouldn't you?

[Ryan Lemon]

Well, mine's pretty easy. I have no interest in going to any political rally, but I would play golf with just about anyone.

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[Ryan Lemon]

Or go to dinner with just about any.

[Matt Jones]

I actually think you would introduce him at the rally.

[Shannon]

If I had a chance to introduce any president. I don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Independent. Doesn't really do. Yes. Just because you're the president. So, yeah, I would definitely.

[Matt Jones]

I don't think Saquon Barkley should get any flat.

[Drew]

I agree.

[Matt Jones]

If he wants to do it, then do it. Right. Like, I don't think that's.

[Drew]

If the president, United States invites you to go play around a golf.

[Matt Jones]

You do?

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah. And I read the whole book about Trump golfing. I just want to see it for myself. It's truly unbelievable, the stories about him playing golf.

[Matt Jones]

First of all, I don't want you to compare my cheating.

[Ryan Lemon]

A lot of similarities.

[Drew]

Pick it up on the green. Pick it up.

[Ryan Lemon]

He'll hit one in the woods and then find it in the fairway.

[Matt Jones]

Not claim to be the club champion 17 years in a row. He's actually. No, I wouldn't do that.

[Ryan Lemon]

He's actually called in his score when he couldn't play and just said, well, I would have shot a 74 of.

[Matt Jones]

The most amazing ones ever. He missed the final round of the club championship. Called the guy and said, I would have shot a 74. Make me the champ.

[Shannon]

But it's his club, so who's going to say no?

[Drew]

That's true.

[Shannon]

You know, I would definitely go, Matt Jones Club. You would.

[Matt Jones]

You could do this. I wouldn't do. I couldn't do that. All right. Did you watch the NBA games? Did you see Carl Anthony Towns last night?

[Drew]

I didn't see what happened last night.

[Ryan Lemon]

I absolutely saw it.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, my goodness. Hit two of the craziest shots I've ever seen. A little baseline shot that I don't know how it went in. And then the three. I can't believe he had the guts to take that three. Both nothing but net the three.

[Ryan Lemon]

I guess there's about five seconds left. He steps back from 30ft with two hands in his face. Down two with what, 40 seconds to go. That's one of the biggest shots you'll see in the playoffs. I mean, that was incredible. And coming from Carl, I just loved it even more.

[Matt Jones]

It was awesome.

[Drew]

You got to see It I've seen.

[Matt Jones]

I mean it was deep. The fact that Carl Towns didn't shoot threes here Carl Town says he might be the best big man three point shooter ever. It's either him or Dirk.

[Ryan Lemon]

He's won a three point contest, but.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, and then Cal wouldn't let him shoot. No, I mean, how did. I mean, how do you do that?

[Shannon]

I mean, you know, the guy can shoot. You're in practice with him every day.

[Matt Jones]

Would not. He won the three point contest.

[Drew]

Did he even attempt one at Kennedy?

[Matt Jones]

What?

[Ryan Lemon]

Eight? I went and looked it all up. The moment Carl hit that three, I just went down a wormhole. There's a time about two years ago Cal tweeted, who's this guy? And Carl replied, the guy you only let take eight threes in college. There's an interview with Devin Booker. There's like. Well, Carl wasn't allowed to shoot those at Kentucky. I mean there's like a lot of stuff since, since that year where they've talked about it.

[Matt Jones]

So he. That was a big. That's a big moment for him because Carl's kind of been known as a guy who like down the stretch you couldn't really count on. And then he did it. So that was a big moment for him.

[Drew]

Yeah, for the Knicks, you know, the highest profile team in the NBA.

[Ryan Lemon]

Kind of his hometown team. First playoffs with him. He's brought the excitement back.

[Shannon]

The guy really just magically develop a three point shot?

[Matt Jones]

No, he did.

[Shannon]

It's crazy.

[Matt Jones]

He was certainly able.

[Drew]

Sure he was.

[Matt Jones]

And then the Denver game. Ever seen a closer game winning shot than that?

[Shannon]

The dunk. The dunk, yeah, that was.

[Drew]

We had the dunk when Arkansas beat us. It's the only time I'd ever seen it. And now I saw the dunk that.

[Matt Jones]

But on that one it was clear he made it.

[Drew]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Shannon, you couldn't really tell on this one. Like, I mean I think they had to count it, but it wasn't. I mean I don't know that it could be any closer.

[Shannon]

Ball was like below the rim but his hand was still on it. His fingertips as he was dunking it. I don't know if I've ever seen an ending quite like that ever.

[Matt Jones]

I don't either. I don't. I don't think either team knew whether they had won.

[Ryan Lemon]

I wouldn't even clear on the rule. I guess it has to be all the way through the rim and his hand not on it. But they show the split second like the lights on the backboard are barely Lighting up like it was so precise that in a split second you see the lights halfway on and all the.

[Matt Jones]

Way it could have been closer. I don't think there would be a way for it to be human. Did they get it right?

[Ryan Lemon]

I think so. I think it'd be hard to take it away. They called it good before the challenge.

[Matt Jones]

Now what about that? In that Knicks game, the Pistons had a three at the buzz, right? The buzzer. Josh Hart kind of ran into the guy shooting. They did not call a foul. When the game was over, the NBA put out a report that said we should have called a foul. If you're Detroit Shannon, do you want that report or not? Because if they called it, Detroit wins. Because he gets three free throws and he only needed to make two.

[Shannon]

Doesn't change the result of the game. Everybody makes mistakes. But I think it would make me feel a little bit better that they're at least acknowledging they screwed that game up. Doesn't change.

[Matt Jones]

Would you want. Would you. Do you want the report that says we messed up? Do you want the apology?

[Drew]

I think I lean a little Shannon's way. I think it would make me feel a little better losing a heartbreaker like that, knowing that their officials say, yeah, man, we missed that one. You know, we miss some sometimes we miss that one.

[Ryan Lemon]

I probably wouldn't want to hear it. It's the playoffs now. Down three one. I think that would just make me even more angry.

[Matt Jones]

Swings the series, it goes from 22 to 3 1.

[Ryan Lemon]

I don't think I'd want to hear it.

[Shannon]

Not reviewable. I guess if you.

[Matt Jones]

Everything in basketball except a foul, which is odd. He did kind of get. But he did lean into him a little bit. But yeah, that's tough. I mean, it's tough. If the NBA comes and says we should have called it and you didn't because you still lost.

[Drew]

It goes back to. We want the officials sometimes to be accountable for their decisions, for their calls. This would have been a time you'd want to talk to him after a game.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, I didn't watch the two night games last night, but the Lakers Wolves was awesome too. Anthony Edwards and LeBron were going at it. That one came down to the final second.

[Matt Jones]

They were all. They were all great. All right, tell me about Stockton Morgan, Stockton Mortgage.

[Drew]

You know, I call them the five star mortgage company of the real estate world. You know, John Stockton, five star point guard. Brandon Stockton, I think he's a five star point guard at Stockton Mortgage. Five star mortgage lender.

[Matt Jones]

Final entry to the Rock Roll hall of Fame. Soundgarden. I like Soundgarden. You feel like they're big enough for this?

[Shannon]

Shannon top three, favorite band of all time for me. I mean, I had all their albums. Grew up listening to them, I guess.

[Matt Jones]

If you're talking about alternative music, would they be next to Nirvana and Pearl Jam? The third biggest, probably.

[Shannon]

So, yeah, Alice and Chains would be up there too. But yeah, Soundgarden probably in the top.

[Matt Jones]

Three right there with them. Right? So that would make some sense that they would be in there.

[Shannon]

I mean, Chris Cornell had a good solo career too, after Sound Garden, so yeah, they definitely belong.

[Matt Jones]

Some songs played in basketball arenas. Welcome to the jungle.

[Drew]

I said that one.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, you did? Oh, well, never mind. I thought that was a really good one. And it was a really good one because you said it.

[Drew]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Thank you. Crazy Train.

[Drew]

That's a good one.

[Matt Jones]

Ozzy Osbourne, I think that's a good one. Thunderstruck.

[Drew]

That's a good one.

[Matt Jones]

AC dc yeah, Thunderstruck's a really good one. I think that's one that's played a lot more than you realize.

[Drew]

These are songs, like, from the 70s, man. They still play them in the arena.

[Matt Jones]

It's interesting. There's not as many from recent years that you think that's just because, like, old people don't know it. And they're the ones speaking to music probably, maybe. I feel like every time I see a game they're playing, they not like us a lot.

[Ryan Lemon]

I was gonna say Kendrick Lamar has a couple humble gets played a lot these days in arenas.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, Kendrick Lamar, talk about one song just making a person like. I mean, I know people knew him before, but, like, even, you know, he's on the Today show now. Like one song, one diss track.

[Drew]

It's true.

[Matt Jones]

And then everybody. Everybody knows him. Now tell me. Well, no, don't tell me. Let's talk about the. The games tonight. We got to make DraftKings. You go to DraftKings or the DK app bet5, get $200. Remember, we are coming up for playoffs. Also, DK Horse is ready if you want to bet on the. On the derby. As a matter of fact, the DK Horse, the number one app, you bet $5. Listen to this. You bet $5 or more on a horse to win the Derby. And even if your horse loses, you have a shot at a million dollars.

[Drew]

Wow, really?

[Matt Jones]

So a $5 Derby win bet bet on DK Sports app.

[Drew]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Automatically registers you to try to win a million dollars. Isn't that crazy?

[Drew]

It's crazy.

[Matt Jones]

So LGBT restrictions apply. Go bet $5. Use the code KSR Horse.

[Ryan Lemon]

Okay, easy to remember.

[Matt Jones]

KSR Horse on the DK app. Bet $5 on the Derby. Any horse you register to win a million dollars. And if you have a gambling problem, call One Year Gambler. It is 21 plus in certain states to open owner access and advanced deposit, wagering account and resident estate where DK was available. Eligible restrictions apply first. Eligible bet only. Must win to share a million dollars cash. Oh, so you got to win it.

[Drew]

Sorry, you have to win the race.

[Matt Jones]

You have to win the race. Okay, so there you go. Wait a minute. Is it. You get a share?

[Shannon]

Get a share? Yeah, of the million dollar pool.

[Matt Jones]

So if you win, you get the money you got and the share of the million dollars?

[Shannon]

It's my understanding. Keep going on that disclaimer, it might tell you the bottom.

[Matt Jones]

Must win to share a million dollars cash reward via Click to claim days ends May 3rd. See [e-mail] bet/offer/ details. So that's actually even better. If you pick the horse to win, you'll not only get the bet, you'll get the share of the million dollars.

[Drew]

I like it.

[Ryan Lemon]

I did that with the little similar, but the what they the king of the NBA and the king of the end zone. Or if you bet a touchdown person and that person scores, you all get a share of the.

[Matt Jones]

So if you bet kind of a long shot and it wins, not only would you get the long shot money, you'd also get the share of the million dollar per. That's pretty good. The Bills picked two guys from Kentucky.

[Drew]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

And they have Ray Davis. So is the state of Kentucky now, Bills fans?

[Drew]

I think we are. I think we have a good argument for it.

[Matt Jones]

Dion Walker, Maxwell Harrison and Ray Davis. And they're all probably going to make the roster. So 53 man NFL roster. Three guys are going to be from Kentucky.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah. I've been casually rooting for the Bills in the playoffs lately because my team is nowhere near the playoffs. And this just adds to it. It's hard to not like Bill's mafia Josh Allen. They've been getting so close. Now you give me three cats over there and I will definitely be rooting for The Bills while my team's at home on the couch.

[Matt Jones]

Dion's gonna work.

[Drew]

I hope he does, man.

[Matt Jones]

He's.

[Drew]

He's got an opportunity here. You know, when he got drafted, they were saying, you know, they. They need, you know, an alignment with. It can be a rusher. And he could. If he got himself in shape, he could be that guy.

[Matt Jones]

Why wouldn't you? I mean, like, don't you feel like you should? I've always had people tell me that he's a nice kid. Yeah, like he didn't work the hardest, but that he was a nice kid. So you would think, like, like, go do it, big fella. Like, this is. You're 6, 5, 3, 40. Like, this is your calling.

[Ryan Lemon]

You know, athletically, he's a freak. I have concerns that if he didn't show up to the combine, his most important interviews in shape. I wonder how doing Buffalo. But you're a pro. They'll be quick to throw you aside if you're not working hard up there. So I hope he's taking it very seriously.

[Matt Jones]

I hope he does well. And I think it's cool. I mean, I'm a Bears fan, but I think it'll be awesome to have these three Kentucky guys on the same team and all three guys who may contribute.

[Drew]

That's what I said. All three guys got a chance to play. Ray Davis ended up playing a lot as the season went on.

[Ryan Lemon]

So, yeah, they really like him up there because of his story. And he played so well stepping in as a rookie when their starter was hurt.

[Matt Jones]

And Maxwell Harrison was like the feel good story of the draft. He was hugging everybody. That video, you know, we talked about him. Mario made into a video. It's like our third biggest video of all time.

[Drew]

That's crazy.

[Matt Jones]

All the Bills fans got into. Got into it and did it.

[Drew]

Wow.

[Matt Jones]

All right, so tomorrow we will be at KS Bar tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday. So come see us at any point during that time. On Friday we will be in Louisville somewhere. I'm not exactly sure. And then doing the Oaks thing, since I mentioned it, 2% of the horse has. Has been sold. So there KSR bump. So I hope you all feel like you're.

[Drew]

Thank you for buying that.

[Matt Jones]

Well, you're welcome. We're going to have a good time. Thank you all very much for listening. We'll see you tomorrow at KS Bars, Kentucky Sports Radio.
