Drew Franklin
Welcome, everyone. This is Kentucky Sports Radio live from beautiful Scottsdale, Arizona, where it is 7:03 in the a.m. and this is Perspectives with Drew Franklin and Matt Jones. You could give us a shout. We'll open it up here in a few minutes. Clark's puppet Shop phone line 859-280-2287. A Vision Auto Glass text machine is 772-774-5254 in this dish and sponsored by the T.J. smith Law Office. Call T.J. he'll make them pay. Drew Franklin is here. Mario is actually down at the gift shop trying to get us some breakfast sodas. Shannon. And Shannon's in Louisville. Ryan is off for a couple days. Shannon, nice to talk to you, even though a little later where you are. But we are in sunny Scottsdale, Arizona.
- [03:22]
Mario
Yeah. So did you ever figure out exactly why you're in Arizona? You didn't really know why you were going when you jumped on the plane.
- [03:28]
Drew Franklin
Barstool Bet gal. We don't really know what that is. Not sure 100% what it is we're going to. Still don't really know. The invitation said 3 to 10. Come when you want. I don't know what that means. When you say three to 10.
- [03:44]
Mario
Big time span.
- [03:45]
Drew Franklin
That's a big time span. Three to 10.
- [03:47]
Mario
Don't want to be the first one there.
- [03:49]
Drew Franklin
We're showing up at 3. We decided we do. Drew. We did believe it. Said try for sure to be there by six. So I think we're gonna look. We're gonna try to do maybe Shannon 4:35. We feel like that's the prime time for us to enter is around there. Do you agree with that?
- [04:03]
Mario
Yeah, I think, you know, you come about midway through that way you can stay a little bit later on. And that's where the meat of whatever's going to happen is probably gonna be.
- [04:11]
Drew Franklin
On the bone right there for that. Drew, are you ready for whatever this is gonna be?
- [04:16]
Billy
I'm very ready. But I'll admit I'm here in your room. Nice room, by the way. And I saw what you're wearing tonight. And now me and Mario both were kind of intimidated. We don't want to go. After seeing your outfit, Shannon.
- [04:27]
Drew Franklin
I have, for the first time in my life, I'm wearing a suede jacket.
- [04:33]
Ryan Seacrest
Suede.
- [04:34]
Billy
You gotta see this thing, Shannon.
- [04:36]
Drew Franklin
It's kind of awesome. It's sort of. It's. It finally walks the line from being beautiful and could Be a waiter. It walks that line really well.
- [04:47]
Mario
Somebody walks up to you and asks for some more appetizers, you'll know.
- [04:50]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, yeah. So when I was picking my outfit, I'm going. The guy that was helping me, Albert, he suggested black on black because we were in short amount of time. And at first he said, wear a white shirt. And then I looked at it, and I feel like I look like a waiter with this. So now we're all black, Shannon.
- [05:09]
Mario
Yeah, all black.
- [05:10]
Billy
Johnny Cash.
- [05:10]
Drew Franklin
All black. Black shirt, black pants, black suede jacket, black shoes.
- [05:15]
Billy
Well, actually, hold on.
- [05:16]
Drew Franklin
Right now we don't have any shoes. I forgot my shoes, so I'm gonna have to go get shoes today. Right now I have Devin book that are gray.
- [05:25]
Mario
You need to mix in a little color, you know?
- [05:27]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, no, all black. That's what we're doing, and we'll see how it plays out. We also have, you know, I'm sunburned, but I have a hat line, so I have really red face and then a white line across my head. So, you know, this is gonna be an interesting thing. But, you know, Drew, this is what we do at the barstool BET gala, whatever that is.
- [05:45]
Billy
Yeah. We still don't know what it is. I thought I paid good money for my suit. I even tried it on at the hotel, thought I looked good. But I am so intimidated. But I am looking forward to getting there.
- [05:53]
Drew Franklin
Whatever we're doing. Mario, too, because he. He says he's wearing red.
- [05:58]
Billy
Oh, goodness. So I didn't know that this black tie event going red, so.
- [06:03]
Drew Franklin
So we don't really know what we're going to, but we will. We'll talk more about it later. We're talking more about what we don't know. Scottsdale, Arizona. Beautiful. Isn't it? True? I mean, there are cacti everywhere. We are at a really nice resort that DraftKings put us up in. There's palm trees and it's. What do you think of the place so far?
- [06:22]
Billy
We've only mostly seen the Uber ride to the resort. The resort. But this is a beautiful area. Just the mountains in the backdrop. We've been to Arizona, went to Sedona, but I've never been to the Phoenix Scottsdale area. I've loved it so far. I have the body clock thing going on. So I was up at 5am this morning, and I just kind of walked around outside. But it's gorgeous out here. Definitely.
- [06:42]
Drew Franklin
It is beautiful. Nice flight here, which Shannon Mario almost didn't make. He was one of the last people that they. They checked in. I thought we were gonn to leave him. The security just say, Shannon, the security on the Sunday morning after the derby in Cincinnati. That's a wild scene. That is a wild, wild scene. With the amount of people, I guess, trying to get out of this area.
- [07:06]
Mario
Everybody probably hungover, you know, from the derby.
- [07:08]
Drew Franklin
If you've ever been to Cincinnati airport, for anybody listening, I want you to think about what the security would look like if the line was outside. Okay. It went all the way through the security line, all the way to the front of the building, out on the sidewalk. Shannon. That's where this security line was when I got there yesterday.
- [07:28]
Mario
That sounds like an absolute nightmare. But there's gonna be more. There's me more of that coming because, you know, that real ID thing starts Wednesday, so I'm flying home Thursday.
- [07:36]
Drew Franklin
Like, I'm already. I'm already kind of concerned about it. But, you know, I have pre check and clear, so I was able to. But. And Drew has pre check, but Mario didn't have anything. So Mario had to get at the back of the line. And I was like, mario, we'll see. You never. Hope it works out for you. I mean, what are you going to do?
- [07:53]
Billy
I felt bad because I was Mario's rod and I'm the one that did the timing. And I actually told him. I was like, let's be extra early. I was. I got up at 4 yesterday, and I was in Mario's driveway at 5am I thought we were good. I thought we were more than good. When we got to that airport, I thought.
- [08:07]
Drew Franklin
I've never seen.
- [08:08]
Billy
I was. I played it cool with Mario because I didn't want to panic and make him panic. But the whole time I'm thinking, we're not making this. We're not making this.
- [08:15]
Drew Franklin
I can't imagine what the Louisville airport's like after. If that's the Cincinnati airport, Can you imagine what the Louisville airport is like the day after the derby?
- [08:23]
Billy
And we were waiting and we had to check our luggage, and the woman just walked away and left the station there completely unattended for 15 minutes. None of us knew what to do at that point. I looked at Mario. I was like, all right, now we can officially worry.
- [08:35]
Drew Franklin
Yeah. Well, he made. He made it. And we're here, and we're ready to go. The. We got a few things we can talk about. We'll talk about Drew's pretty amazing round of golf in a number of different ways yesterday, but we should start with the derby in the oaks. Let's start. Shannon with the Oaks Simply Joking where we were ready to go. I was pumped up for the race, not gonna lie to you. You know, all day we were walking around with our owner's hats. Shannon, people were taking our picture, but not because it was ksr, because they were like, they saw our hats. And like, you own Simply Joking. Can I have a picture?
- [09:11]
Mario
They thought you were.
- [09:12]
Drew Franklin
Yeah. We didn't say, you know, we own one fraction of a hair. We were like, yeah, you're talking to a simply joking owner. So there's a lot of pictures people have who I don't think know who we are of us with those hats on. And we started to get excited. I mean, over the course of the day, I'd convince myself, Drew, we were winning this race.
- [09:34]
Billy
Me too. And I learned something. I wish I could go back to my. My younger derby days. Anyone listening? If you're single and you go to the derby, even if you're infielding, let me tell you, get a hat made with a horse's name.
- [09:45]
Drew Franklin
Doesn't even matter what the horse is.
- [09:46]
Billy
Yeah, I. I mean, put Barbaro on. I don't care. Do you Truly cannot walk around people. Hubby stepped outside to smoke a cigar, and I went with him. And this group of gorgeous women came up and asked hubby for a picture. Hubby, they're like, we've never met a horse owner. And I'm thinking this just all by wearing a hat.
- [10:03]
Drew Franklin
And that's the move from now on, single, just put a horse's name on it. Doesn't even have to be a horse running the race because nobody knows who's in the ring.
- [10:10]
Billy
Just wear a ball cap.
- [10:11]
Drew Franklin
Exactly. Right. Just say, have it say, you know, Billy, our sports on it. Like people. People think, well, this dude must have enough money to own a horse. We don't have to tell them how much of the horse you own. So. So that was good. And by over the course of the day, you also saw the power of ksr. I mean, that horse opened as the fifth favorite, and it got up to Shannon, the second favorite, right by the race. You can't tell me that's not ksr. That's not people betting that. Did you. Don't you agree?
- [10:44]
Mario
Oh, yeah. I mean, I'm sure, like, if you're outside of that KSR world, you're probably thinking, why is this horse all the way up to number two? Yeah.
- [10:53]
Drew Franklin
So the race starts. Mario's now joining us.
- [10:55]
Travis Perry
What's up, guys?
- [10:56]
Drew Franklin
How excited were we by the time the Race started.
- [10:59]
Travis Perry
Oh, you guys are pretty excited. I have a. I have a video.
- [11:02]
Drew Franklin
That I didn't put out yet that.
- [11:03]
Travis Perry
You can see your facial.
- [11:04]
Drew Franklin
You don't have to put that out, because we were. You don't have to put that out.
- [11:08]
Travis Perry
Yeah, I was thinking about it, but, you know, you guys seemed very excited, and by the end of the race, what is happening?
- [11:13]
Drew Franklin
Why can't you. He's that one. All right. You need to be able to talk it. Talk in your mind. First of all, put that up next to your face.
- [11:20]
Travis Perry
It's touching my leg.
- [11:21]
Drew Franklin
Okay, that's good. That's better. All right. So. But anyway, the. The. We were excited, ready to go, and then all of a sudden, the race started. That's the problem with these races. You end up having them. You know, you end up. Actually. They start, and things don't go as well. It came out well. Right. Came out well. Ready to go. I like the position it was in. It was. It was, you know, just right behind the leaders, which is where we. The owner or the trainer told us that's where we want to be in the.
- [11:52]
Billy
In the barn. For the last two months, that's what we've been saying.
- [11:54]
Drew Franklin
We've been saying. I told. I had told the trainer, and I actually told the jockey, Shannon, just stay right behind the lead. Exactly. My guy, Florence. I was like, just. Just stay right there. And it looked good. And then all of a sudden, as the horses started making their move, he made an odd decision, which was to go backwards. It was an odd decision. You know, at that time, I would have advocated to go forward, but Drew, you know, again, I can't second guess the jockey, but he made the decision to go backwards. And by backwards, I mean to last place. So, out of 14 horses, simply joking, came in last. Again, not what I'd predicted, and a little disappointing. Not gonna lie to you, but. But still, we were in the race, and that's what mattered.
- [12:43]
Billy
Yeah.
- [12:44]
Drew Franklin
For.
- [12:44]
Billy
For a few seconds, I was dreaming dreams. We were looking good. I actually worried, to be honest, that it got hurt the way it pulled.
- [12:51]
Drew Franklin
Up, so I did, too.
- [12:53]
Billy
And I had flashbacks. We mentioned this last Friday, but you and I picked a horse at Keeneland years ago, and they.
- [12:57]
Drew Franklin
And they had to put it down.
- [12:58]
Billy
In front of everyone.
- [12:59]
Drew Franklin
Yeah.
- [12:59]
Billy
So we've gone from dead to last. Dead to dead. Last next year, maybe. I mean, we're working our way up by 2040.
- [13:08]
Drew Franklin
Will apparently, though, that Jackie pulled it up because he said he knew they weren't going to win and they're saving him, hoping him, I think, to maybe run him the week, the day of the Belmont, not in the Bellmont, but one of the undercard races.
- [13:19]
Mario
So that's the way I look at it.
- [13:20]
Billy
We'll get back to the stable and figure it out.
- [13:21]
Mario
Yeah. You gotta be optimistic about it. Like, you know it's only gonna get better from here, right? It can't get any worse.
- [13:26]
Drew Franklin
Totally. With you. How could. How could it get worse? It could not.
- [13:29]
Mario
It could be shy like Bruce.
- [13:32]
Drew Franklin
It was not. But you know what? It was a fun experience. I did enjoy it. It was exciting to feel like a part of it. You know, we. We had a lot of adventures, which we'll talk about later on during the show. And a lot of you all. There were a bunch of you all that were there who were coming up, who. They gave me a bag of hats to give out to fellow owners. I may have just given them out to people that I saw.
- [13:58]
Mario
Yeah. I'm still waiting on my hat. Still waiting on mine to get here.
- [14:01]
Drew Franklin
I think I gave yours away.
- [14:02]
Mario
I don't think I wanted. After that performance, I don't even want to be a. Appreciate it with this horse anymore.
- [14:06]
Drew Franklin
It's a good horse.
- [14:07]
Mario
Owner.
- [14:08]
Drew Franklin
It's. But, But. But, you know, it was. It was fun. Even though it didn't work out, we.
- [14:13]
Billy
Had done the Oaks and Derby several years consecutively before 2020, and I thought, you know, I've left that part of me behind. But getting back there, that was so much fun. I have the itch. I can't wait till next year. A lot of people, they've changed it a lot since we've.
- [14:27]
Drew Franklin
It's very. So, Shannon, I. Have you been since COVID To. To Churchill?
- [14:32]
Mario
I don't think. I don't think I have. No.
- [14:34]
Drew Franklin
So I think basically everything excep, infield, and the general admission, so if you have an assigned seat, it's all free food and drink everywhere. Everywhere, everywhere. So the good part about that is there are no lines right now. They don't have as much, like, cool food because they're just giving it all away. But there's no lines anywhere. So, like, whereas you used to always have to stand in a line for food or alcohol or whatever, now it's just offered. Now. I'm sure they raised the tickets to make that up.
- [15:04]
Mario
Yeah.
- [15:04]
Drew Franklin
But. But because of that, I do think the experience is a lot better. Don't you, Drew?
- [15:09]
Billy
Oh, absolutely. It was smooth. And sure, the food quality has probably gone down a little bit, but all man needs is A hot dog and a good bourbon drink. And now you just, I mean it took no time to go.
- [15:19]
Drew Franklin
People just walk up and down the stands, Shannon handing out hot dogs for free. You got hot dog delivery. You know, that's pretty good.
- [15:26]
Mario
You know, 22 for a drink. I think Drew would definitely get his money's worth if he were there.
- [15:30]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, it's free. I mean well it's not for. You're paying for it in the cost ticket but I mean it's, it's. They make their money on me because I don't drink. I get one Diet Coke. They lose it on Drew. But I think it probably evens out for them. Right?
- [15:44]
Billy
Yeah. And just overall, I don't know if they've priced people out but. Or maybe it was a down year but at least on Oaks Day it didn't feel. Feel nearly as packed as it's been in the past.
- [15:53]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, I agree. We still have rain. There was some rain. Yeah.
- [15:56]
Billy
It might have just been a one off year. I haven't been since. For 2020 as I mentioned. But we even had our. My favorite part of going to Churchill is the walk out. I mean we even had. We didn't hit Rodman Street. Oh the walk out but the parties were happening.
- [16:08]
Drew Franklin
Ended up Shannon at Moby Dick, the fish place that I eat at. Only eat at walking home from something which is good though. Moby Dick is good.
- [16:18]
Travis Perry
Good.
- [16:18]
Drew Franklin
Moby Dick is good.
- [16:19]
Mario
Let's get in a pinch. I, I need you to tell me about this guy that was just grilling out with a shirt.
- [16:24]
Drew Franklin
Let's take a break because we need to talk about that guy and we need to talk about what many of our listeners thought about that guy. But we will take a break also. Oh, I don't know. Big race. Matt hit the trifecta again at the derby. We'll talk about it next here on.

Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio Text Machine.

Billy
772-774-5254.
- [19:20]
Drew Franklin
People arguing about whether or not Moby Dick's good in it.
- [19:23]
Billy
I enjoyed it.
- [19:24]
Travis Perry
I thought it was good.
- [19:25]
Drew Franklin
I mean, Shannon, it's not like you're not going for a five star restaurant, but if you would like fried fish in a pinch, that was good fried fish. Especially after you've walked a mile and a half to get there.
- [19:36]
Mario
What is it? The first mate that you get the fish and you get the fries and the hush puppies.
- [19:41]
Drew Franklin
The Hush Puppy was really good. So, yeah, shout out, Moby Dick. Don't listen to these people. There's a few of those I don't know. Is that a chain outside of Louisville? It's big in Louisville, but is anywhere. There's like six or seven of them in Louisville.
- [19:52]
Billy
Only known it Louisville.
- [19:53]
Drew Franklin
All right, well, I'm for it. They used to have soup beans, like, white beans that were good. I didn't see those. 859-280-2287. Somebody just sent me a picture from the Louisville airport Sunday. You thought Cincinnati was bad? Oh, my goodness. That looked like chaos. I'm just saying, in the future, try not to fly the morning after the derby. I'll try. I'll try not to do that again. Apparently in Phoenix, Mario, they have. This is. They have Ubers here that don't have drivers. You good with that?
- [20:21]
Travis Perry
I kind of. I would like to see it. I don't know if I'm 100% sure I want to drive in it, but I would like the experience.
- [20:27]
Drew Franklin
They won't let you drive. It's driverless. You mean ride in it?
- [20:31]
Travis Perry
Yeah, I'll ride in it. I'll ride in it. Not to a far place, though.
- [20:34]
Billy
After that Uber we had yesterday, I would like one that doesn't have a driver.
- [20:39]
Drew Franklin
We had an Uber driver. He's one of these people that won't stop talking. You know, he wants to, like, he wants to be in every conversation. And here's the thing. This is the great trait about Mario. Mario is nice to everybody, but he's a little too nice sometimes, because I.
- [20:54]
Billy
Would say he's curious.
- [20:56]
Drew Franklin
I was definitely curious, but, like, you needed. You need to be less curious.
- [21:00]
Travis Perry
I was coming off of a plane, and I'm in Phoenix, Arizona, for the first time, and he's driving us. And I tried kind of treating him.
- [21:06]
Drew Franklin
But you had him going over the history of the Detroit lines, flag calls.
- [21:10]
Billy
That was him.
- [21:11]
Drew Franklin
Like, the flag. The calls by the referees. He disagreed with. Like, I didn't need to hear all that. Like, he was like. And then there was Calvin Johnson and. And Mario just go, yeah, yeah, tell me about it. And I just wanted to look at him, like, tell him. Just, Mario, stop. So let me ask you.
- [21:25]
Billy
Mickey Mantle. We talked about Mickey Mantle.
- [21:26]
Travis Perry
You rather it be awkward silence? Just like.
- [21:29]
Drew Franklin
I'd rather sit in silence. Yeah.
- [21:30]
Mario
If the driver talks too much, do you deduct a star from.
- [21:33]
Drew Franklin
I'm not gonna. I don't want to deduct stars because my Uber rating people deduct Stars on me and it hurts my fear. I have a 4.84. And I don't understand why. I'm a good writer. I always. I don't know. They don't tell you. You know, Uber drivers over history have given me one star.
- [21:52]
Travis Perry
I see why.
- [21:54]
Billy
I thought you were gonna like it.
- [21:56]
Drew Franklin
Wait a minute. What do you see why?
- [21:57]
Travis Perry
Unfriendliness.
- [21:59]
Mario
Tell the driver, stop talking so much.
- [22:02]
Drew Franklin
You think they put one start because you don't talk to him?
- [22:04]
Travis Perry
Yeah, I thought you were gonna like.
- [22:06]
Billy
Him, because as soon as we left the airport, I was watching his gps and he missed a turn. And he missed a turn.
- [22:11]
Drew Franklin
Immediately he pulled a U turn.
- [22:12]
Billy
I'm like, oh, Matt's right at home. Where you turning? Right in the middle of.
- [22:15]
Drew Franklin
I don't understand. I mean, it looks like most of them were a long time ago. It was like when I first started going. But I. I guess I didn't know the E you first started. But I'll tell you one thing. Don't talk to. Don't talk.
- [22:25]
Travis Perry
Just hop in the car.
- [22:26]
Drew Franklin
Just hop in the car. Hey, hope you're having a good day. Thank you, man. And then, like, put your headphones on.
- [22:30]
Billy
Mario asked about insects. We're getting the bugs in Phoenix. We got it all.
- [22:35]
Drew Franklin
He talks way too much.
- [22:36]
Travis Perry
Seen the videos?
- [22:37]
Drew Franklin
All right, so. So let's talk about the guy that we ran into afterwards. You know, Shannon, there are people out cooking on the. On the road road, right? And a lot of it's good. Food smells good. You get a lot of different smells. You get a lot of different people. It seems like sometimes when you're walking down those roads, people brought their whole families in from out of town. Everybody's sitting in the yard. You know what I mean? Like, there's just. There's just people everywhere. We get almost to Moby Dick. We're almost done with the walk, and then hubby decides he wants a bratwurst tortilla, which are two words I didn't even know combined.
- [23:11]
Mario
I've never heard of that before.
- [23:13]
Drew Franklin
You ever heard of anybody getting a bratwurst and putting them on a tortilla?
- [23:16]
Billy
Yeah, I'm a big bratwurst guy. That's the first time I've seen it offer.
- [23:20]
Drew Franklin
I tweeted out the picture of the guy. It's hard to do him justice. Just think, though, if you were to create Beer Belly in Perfection. I mean, he looked like he was pregnant, right?
- [23:33]
Billy
He's about to birth a Miller. And he was.
- [23:36]
Drew Franklin
Oh, my goodness. And he was totally fine. This is what I appreciate about a guy like that. Totally fine. Shirt off, belly out. No, not self conscious in the least. I give him credit for that. Like he didn't think about how he looked. He's totally good with it.
- [23:56]
Billy
Most people in that situation would suck in a little bit. I think he was pushing it out.
- [23:59]
Drew Franklin
He was pushing it out and then his, his, his, his door said, had a picture of a gun and said, unless you want to meet Jesus, don't come through this door.
- [24:10]
Mario
Fair enough.
- [24:10]
Drew Franklin
An amazing thing to put on your door, right? So hubby decides that's where we're gonna stop and get the bratwurst, tortillas and toucan beers. So I put up his picture because I was like, this is what we're getting food from. And the amount of people, Shannon, that put in the comments, they thought it looked like Ryan.
- [24:29]
Mario
No, my mind didn't go to Ryan at all.
- [24:31]
Drew Franklin
Well, a lot of people's did. Did. A lot of people's did go look at the comments. It's all like, oh, Ryan's let himself go. Look at Ryan.
- [24:39]
Mario
He's in that slim suit. We know, right?
- [24:42]
Drew Franklin
I started to feel bad for Ryan. Ryan didn't do anything. Ryan didn't do anything. You talk about catching a stray. But then I looked at it and I was like, it kind of looks.
- [24:53]
Travis Perry
Like him a little.
- [24:54]
Mario
Well, I can, I can have a second opinion.
- [24:57]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, I mean, go look at it like, kind of looks like him. And so then I felt bad that you know people, but look at that. Just quickly glance at it. You can, like, you can see how somebody went from afar. You can see how somebody could think that's Ryan.
- [25:13]
Billy
I put a couple videos on my Instagram. I don't know that I've ever had that many messages in reply to something as it was that video. And all of them were, Ryan, Ryan, Ryan, Ryan.
- [25:23]
Drew Franklin
Everybody was rhyme, which I didn't even think when I put up that it looked like Ryan. Now it will look like good food, right?
- [25:31]
Billy
Well, there's one thing that jumped out to me. I'm not, I'm not here to be the health department. But he, when he put the tortilla on the grill, he would pat it to make sure it was warm like you would do. You want to make sure you have a good hot grill for a tortilla. But with that same hand, he would pick at his belly button and then go back to the tortilla. I mean, same hand, tortilla, belly button, tortilla, belly button. As hubby was just Sitting there looking at the grill, waiting to eat his product.
- [25:58]
Drew Franklin
You mean he touched the tortilla?
- [26:00]
Mario
I mean, he was a little belly button seasoning.
- [26:02]
Billy
Fill the tortilla, put some peppers on it, get belly button lit, repeat belly button.
- [26:10]
Mario
I don't think you're worried about the belly button or maybe a chest to worry about it, but that cardboard sign for the menu, like, yeah, the menu.
- [26:19]
Drew Franklin
Is written on a cardboard sign, which was nice. Which, by the way, it worked. It's what drew hubby into the place was the cardboard side.
- [26:28]
Billy
He at one point, Beers, right?
- [26:30]
Drew Franklin
He at one point asked hubby if he would like jalapenos on it. And hubby said yes. And he goes, all right, I got to go inside and get some. And I was like, no, we're going.
- [26:40]
Mario
That's the moment where you just take the food.
- [26:42]
Drew Franklin
That was the moment. I'd had enough. Like, I mean, because it had taken forever to begin with. So I love to him, I, I, I loved him too.
- [26:49]
Billy
I don't think he's certified. I, I was looking for, like, the ABC score from the health department.
- [26:56]
Drew Franklin
I didn't see a health department score, but. So that was our Oaks. And it was a lot of fun. Saw a lot of former UK folks. Mario. We saw Will Levis, Wondell Robinson, Trent Noah was that treasure. We saw Randall Cobb.
- [27:09]
Billy
I haven't seen Randall Cobb in a while, and I'm, I'm a married man. Randall Cobb's eyes were hypnotizing. I hadn't seen him in a while. That guy.
- [27:17]
Drew Franklin
I gotta agree. Listen there at the dirt, it's unbelievable. At the Oaks, they're beautiful.
- [27:23]
Travis Perry
Yes. All over the place.
- [27:24]
Drew Franklin
That's my focus. But Randall comes. I'd put them up with them. If you're just talking sheer eyes, they're right there. We'll be right back.
- [27:38]
Shannon The Dude
TJ Smith, personal injury attorney.
- [27:40]
Drew Franklin
Call tj.
- [27:41]
Shannon The Dude
He'll make him pay.
- [27:42]
Mario
Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio, presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.
- [27:47]
Drew Franklin
Luckily, Shannon didn't have any of that going.
- [27:50]
Mario
Oh, yeah, no, no, it's going to be in the podcast. Yeah, every bit of that. It'll be there.
- [27:54]
Drew Franklin
I can. When I hear that song, I, I falsetto that one part. That's Hungry Eyes. It's good.
- [28:00]
Billy
Do it again. Do it again.
- [28:01]
Drew Franklin
No, it's good. Eric Carmen's fine. Shannon's got it. If he wants to put it in podcast, he can. That could be a little nugget for the podcast people.
- [28:08]
Billy
I wish what we were telling Shannon off the air could be on the podcast.
- [28:10]
Drew Franklin
Yeah. We met some characters. We met some characters at the. At the Oaks. We. I had a ticket, Shannon, to the Turf club.
- [28:18]
Mario
Yeah.
- [28:19]
Drew Franklin
But Drew Ryan and hubby didn't, and we might have snuck them in. It was a character. It was a member of Andy Barr's entourage. Might have screamed at one of my friends for no reason. I like any bar, you need to control your people. There's no reason to just have your people screaming at. One of my friends.
- [28:40]
Mario
Just screamed at him just because they were in the.
- [28:43]
Drew Franklin
Just, I don't know, just be like, Andy Barr. Control your people.
- [28:47]
Billy
And arguably your most likable friend.
- [28:50]
Drew Franklin
No one dislikes Tall.
- [28:52]
Billy
There you go.
- [28:53]
Drew Franklin
Why you don't like, dislike him. I love him, actually. Let me say something to you about him. I'm sorry. This is becoming a fade, this episode, and I. This is just what's gonna happen right now.
- [29:01]
Billy
Hopefully, people like it.
- [29:02]
Drew Franklin
You want to know what Mario said to Tall Shannon?
- [29:05]
Mario
What's up?
- [29:06]
Drew Franklin
And you meant this as a compliment, didn't you?
- [29:08]
Travis Perry
100% compliment.
- [29:09]
Drew Franklin
Mario likes Tall. Mario did that thing where he's been drinking a little bit, and he starts pointing at you. You know what I'm doing? Like, he starts pointing at you, and he looks at Tall, and he goes, I really like you. You are hilarious. So far, so good, Shannon. Right?
- [29:25]
Mario
Yeah.
- [29:26]
Drew Franklin
He goes, you know who you remind me of? Kevin from the office.
- [29:32]
Billy
Not a compliment.
- [29:33]
Drew Franklin
How you gonna say that to somebody I love? Like, you broke his heart. I love, but you understand, no one wants to think they look like Kevin from the office.
- [29:43]
Billy
And Tall looks nothing like.
- [29:46]
Drew Franklin
He's not big.
- [29:47]
Travis Perry
Like, not size wise, but facial.
- [29:49]
Drew Franklin
Like, that's not a compliment. You can't tell somebody they look like Kevin from the office.
- [29:54]
Travis Perry
I love Kevin.
- [29:56]
Billy
And we love Tall.
- [29:57]
Drew Franklin
They're not the same. Shannon, would you agree? You can't say that to somebody.
- [30:00]
Mario
I don't think that's a compliment. We look like Mario.
- [30:04]
Travis Perry
Who do I think?
- [30:05]
Drew Franklin
Who.
- [30:06]
Mario
Who do you think we look like? I mean, you. You know, y'all probably give us the least flattering name you could think of. Are you there?
- [30:13]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, we're. We're having a. It's. It looks like it's having a little connection problem here.
- [30:18]
Billy
Oh, we sound all right.
- [30:19]
Drew Franklin
Do we sound okay?
- [30:19]
Mario
Yeah, you're there. You're good.
- [30:21]
Billy
Okay.
- [30:21]
Drew Franklin
All right. Well, if it's. If it's. But you can't do that, Mario, just for the record.
- [30:25]
Travis Perry
Sorry, Kevin.
- [30:26]
Drew Franklin
Sorry, Kevin.
- [30:28]
Billy
You're making it worse.
- [30:29]
Drew Franklin
Sorry.
- [30:32]
Billy
Tal's £100 shy of Kevin. From the office.
- [30:37]
Drew Franklin
All right, so let's go to the Derby. First of all, drew highest Derby ratings since 1991. That's pretty amazing. The Derby has become. In this world where all these sporting events are getting splintered and basically nothing except the NFL is as big as it once was. The Derby is bigger than it's ever been.
- [31:01]
Billy
And me personally, I paid more attention this year than I watched, starting at 8am with LAX 18 all the way through the Derby race. And, you know, I don't know the terminologies of stakes this, stakes that, but some of the earlier races were fun, were awesome. I mean, it was just a great day all the way around. The coverage was good.
- [31:16]
Drew Franklin
Why do you think it is? Like, why do you think it is that. That this has become. Because everyone is watching it. I mean, not just. Not just here, but, like, the ratings, just to give you an example, were. Were like 33% higher than Rory's win at the Masters. It was higher than every NBA Finals game last year. It was the exact same rating. The national championship of basketball got the one just a few weeks ago. Like, why do you think that is?
- [31:47]
Billy
I don't know. The sports doing well, because even the. The Netflix show, which came out, I don't think that did a bump for the Derby, but that's blown up, and it's one of the top shows. Horse racing is really in a great place. I don't know what caused it, but a lot of people have eyes on it.
- [31:59]
Drew Franklin
I think. I think some of it, Shannon, is. Is women, like, watching the. The pomp and circumstance of it, right? Like, the. The outfits and the hats, and they've really leaned in on having celebrities there. And the weather wasn't even good.
- [32:14]
Mario
And yet it hasn't stopped rain. It's still raining.
- [32:18]
Drew Franklin
It's. And yet. And yet. I mean, I'm happy for it for the state. It really is great for our state. Right? Everybody knows the Kentucky Derby. You know, they put Kentucky stuff in it with the My Old Kentucky Home and the governor gets to present the thing. So I. It's awesome for the state, but it is kind of amazing that it has become such a huge thing.
- [32:37]
Travis Perry
It's definitely more than a horse race. That's what my experience is. I thought it was gonna be a lot worse because of the rain. You know, I thought it was gonna make people shy away from it, but other than that, like, it's more than a horse race. It's like a event.
- [32:50]
Drew Franklin
It is. And it's an event where I think it's One of the few sporting events where men and women, I think, like it equally, even if they like it for different reasons.
- [32:58]
Billy
You know, humble brag here. I had a winning ticket left over from the Oaks, and I had to go to Red Mile and Lexington to cash at Saturday morning. And I went early thinking, I'm gonna get this out of the way. They were parking people down in the grass away from Redmond. I mean, Red Mile was slammed at like 11:30am with people dressed up in there. I don't know if it's normal like that, but I'm sure Keeneland was the same way. People have really got into it.
- [33:22]
Drew Franklin
I hit the trifecta again. Just for sake of art. Just for. For. It has been now six of the last nine years, I've hit the trifecta.
- [33:31]
Travis Perry
So this is your thing, basically.
- [33:32]
Drew Franklin
It's crazy because I'm not a great. I mean, I'm not. It's not like I'm great at horse racing game, but for some reason, big race mad. There's some reason at the dirt derby, it's just like I. It's just. I kind of feel it.
- [33:46]
Travis Perry
Get into your groove.
- [33:47]
Drew Franklin
I get into my group. So I said in my tweet, the three horses I like the most, like.
- [33:53]
Billy
You had them in order.
- [33:54]
Drew Franklin
In order Sovereignty, Journalism and Visa or whatever, in that order. And that's how they came.
- [34:00]
Travis Perry
That is spectacular.
- [34:01]
Drew Franklin
It is kind of spectacular. To picket Shannon. One, two, three. You know, because the IRS might be listening. I'm not going to tell you what I want, but it's the most I've ever won on a horse race. I mean, the most up until that was when Orb won, because that was a Lexington horse and that was the first try I think I hit. I won a lot, but I think this one was. Was more, probably because I bet more, but I. It was, you know, big race mad. Race mad. And yet people. Why do people, like, now miss one and everybody will go. But if you. If you've played my picks over these, you should be way ahead if you're doing the Derby.
- [34:39]
Billy
Where was that energy in the Oaks race? We're finishing with the horse you own again.
- [34:44]
Mario
It's disturbing, that one. Yeah.
- [34:46]
Drew Franklin
Yeah. The problem is you go. I went with my heart, not my head.
- [34:50]
Billy
Okay?
- [34:50]
Drew Franklin
Right. Because I was part of it. That's why. Remember last week I said, you can't become friends with coaches.
- [34:55]
Billy
Same. Can't be friends with the horses.
- [34:57]
Drew Franklin
You can't be friends with the horses. You'll start to look at them, pet them, and then you don't have an objective. Objective view.
- [35:07]
Billy
Well, that was an impressive hit, especially because you tweeted it long before the race. You had the. The receipts, as the kids say.
- [35:13]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, and I got mad at people, Shannon, who would. Who after the race would go, wish you'd send it out before. I'm like, just because you read it after the race does not mean I didn't send it, Shannon, before the race. People are so stupid. I have to tell you, just collectively. He must have just read it because I did. He must just written it because I just read it.
- [35:33]
Mario
You have to stop answering these people.
- [35:35]
Drew Franklin
Stop giving them stupid labor.
- [35:37]
Mario
Giving them all your energy. Worried about these people.
- [35:41]
Drew Franklin
You're right. But the problem was our golf slowed down yesterday, and I made the mistake of picking up my phone.
- [35:46]
Billy
You're getting.
- [35:46]
Drew Franklin
The moment I picked up, I read Trump's stupid tweet about his tariffs, and I was like. Well, I thought to myself, I got to say something. I was dumb. I didn't need to say anything.
- [35:56]
Billy
I was. We went to a nice dinner. I was trying to enjoy my sea scallops last night. You're getting called commie on the Internet. We're just trying to. We're trying to enjoy a nice.
- [36:05]
Drew Franklin
I love when people still bring out commie as a common. Do you even know what a commie is?
- [36:11]
Travis Perry
What's a commie?
- [36:12]
Drew Franklin
Do you know?
- [36:13]
Billy
You're sitting on the couch, like, seriously.
- [36:14]
Drew Franklin
You don't know what that is?
- [36:15]
Travis Perry
Explain to me what's a common commie?
- [36:16]
Drew Franklin
Like a communist.
- [36:17]
Travis Perry
Oh, so it's just short for communist?
- [36:20]
Drew Franklin
Yeah. Do you know what a communist is?
- [36:22]
Travis Perry
I have an idea.
- [36:23]
Drew Franklin
Give me an idea.
- [36:24]
Travis Perry
Communist is like, they. Now what's that?
- [36:29]
Drew Franklin
What's that?
- [36:29]
Billy
They don't want to commit to his.
- [36:30]
Drew Franklin
I don't. I don't.
- [36:31]
Billy
There are people on the other end of this machine.
- [36:33]
Drew Franklin
We need. We need a final answer, Mario.
- [36:35]
Travis Perry
Communists, I should notice. I'm a history. I have a history degree, so it's right along my lines. But communists, Something has something to do with business. They like the.
- [36:44]
Drew Franklin
They like what? What do they like to do?
- [36:47]
Travis Perry
Control everything or something?
- [36:48]
Drew Franklin
Okay, all right. That's okay. Government control of the economy, basically. So, yeah.
- [36:53]
Billy
So basically, Matt.
- [36:54]
Drew Franklin
Yeah. So basically me, not the guy who's instituting tariffs. Business by business, to which. Well, that's not communist. Okay, I'm communist. That.
- [37:02]
Billy
With his peloton in his room here.
- [37:04]
Drew Franklin
Commie. Yeah, man.
- [37:05]
Travis Perry
You got the peloton in your room.
- [37:06]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, Shannon. They put a peloton in my room.
- [37:09]
Mario
Have you been on it yet? Have you pulled a little bit.
- [37:12]
Drew Franklin
What do you think?
- [37:13]
Mario
I don't know.
- [37:14]
Billy
It's got like its own.
- [37:16]
Mario
I thought maybe you might start pedaling.
- [37:18]
Drew Franklin
You know, you're in a place where everybody's in shape. When they put pelotons in your room.
- [37:24]
Billy
I thought about taking it for a spin, but it's way too close to your bed. That would be awkward if I'm just in your room working out right next to where you sleep.
- [37:31]
Drew Franklin
Yeah. So there's a peloton.
- [37:32]
Billy
I dabble in peloton. It is lit up like a peloton studio. There's yoga mats and weights. I don't know if you requested this room.
- [37:39]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, no, I did not. This is just what they gave me. Thank you. To drink. DraftKings but so anyway. Got that. Then there were a lot of celebrities at the race. Oh yeah. You Livy Dunn.
- [37:48]
Travis Perry
Carmelo Anthony.
- [37:50]
Drew Franklin
Carmel. Let's do just Livy Dunn for a second. Beautiful. Would we agree?
- [37:56]
Travis Perry
Yeah.
- [37:57]
Drew Franklin
Obviously a good gymnast. Shannon, personality of cardboard. Did you see her try? Did you see her try to call the horses up?
- [38:06]
Mario
Yeah. Yeah.
- [38:07]
Drew Franklin
She had to look down. I want you to go watch the video. You need to go watch the video. She reads and first of all, she's reading. And then it was clear somebody told her to look up. So she goes. The beautiful city of Louisville and Commonwealth Kentucky welcomes you. And then she looked up and it was like somebody goes line. And she looked down and goes, riders up. She had to look down for the line. Riders up.
- [38:39]
Billy
I don't think she did her homework.
- [38:40]
Drew Franklin
Listen, I grant you, she's beautiful. Her boyfriend, number one pick in the draft. Right? Great baseball player. What do they talk about? They both have the personality of stale cheese.
- [38:58]
Billy
I didn't know you were going to be coming with the living context.
- [39:02]
Drew Franklin
Am I wrong about that? Awkward. Simone Biles went the next day. She was great. She was fine. Like she did what you're supposed to do. But Livy Dunn looked like she forgot the two words you're supposed to say is riders up. Riders up.
- [39:18]
Billy
There could have been a little more separation.
- [39:20]
Drew Franklin
Riders up. Riders up.
- [39:24]
Mario
What you're saying is they didn't practice this before they went out.
- [39:27]
Drew Franklin
She must not have, cuz she literally looked down. Down for the line. Riders up.
- [39:31]
Mario
You tell me for this, I'll see it. Yeah, Here.
- [39:36]
Drew Franklin
I'll tell you what, when we come back, you leave. You got it right now?

Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. Great day. Great weekend for the for the city of Louisville, State of Kentucky, 859-280-22871 person writes Matt, what is how is it you get your trifecta, your trifecta system? I remember you said it years ago, but I forgot. Yeah, I came up with this. Like I said like nine or ten years ago. I took some time one day I was bored and I looked at a pattern of everybody who'd ever won before and it was very similar pattern. Very rarely did the top three horses finished 1, 2, 3 in a race. I think it's happened like once in the last 25 years. So. But often in the top three horses are two of the top three. So what I do is I pick the top three horses and I just throw one out. You just have to decide there's one I'm not going to believe in and you just have to do it. And then if that horse makes it, well, try again next year. Right. So for me, this year when I first looked at it, the top three horses were Journalism, Sovereignty and the Tick Tock horse. And I was like, well, we're getting rid of the Tick Tock horse. That was not scientific. I just wasn't gonna bet Shannon on the Tick Tock horse. Sandman.
- [44:14]
Mario
Yep.
- [44:14]
Drew Franklin
So Tick Tock horse out, then Sovereignty and Journalism. I looked at it looked to me like sovereignty was just as good as journalism. Odds were much better for Sovereignty. So I'm gonna put that on top of most of my plays, but I put journalism on top of stuff too. And then you have to look for, generally speaking, the. Of the middle tier horses, there's about. Usually six. I pick like three, throw them in, and then one long shot. Okay. And then those are my six horses that I build everything around. But you have to have three that are primary. Your primary ones. And it's usually for me, two of the favorites and one of the long shots, and it was the three that came in this year. So, like, it's not so much for me. That's the system. And then everyone should use that system. Then pick your own horse. Horses. But I think the system is pretty sound. I think if you do that system, you got a good shot. Now, obviously, if they pick the right horses or it won't help. But Drew, I believe in my system, it's worked well. And it only seems to work in the Derby because there's so many horses in the field. And I was listening to Randy Moss on the broadcast, and he made a point that I think is very interesting. He said since. Since Rich strike one at 80 to one a few years ago, people all want to bet the long strike shot and hope they get that 80 to 1 pick. So he said, these long shots are like 40 to 1, but they should be 100 to 1. And money that should go on horses like Sovereignty is going to. Are going to these long shots. And he was like, there's value in these horses. And he used Sovereignty as an example because people are taking a horse that has no chance and betting it down to where it's 35 to 1 and that money can be won somewhere else.

Billy
Did you only throw out the TikTok horse because you knew it as the Tick Tock horse?
- [45:57]
Drew Franklin
I didn't look at one thing about him. The moment I saw that dude at the draw and he was like, griffin? Yeah. He was like, you know, me and my dogs, we in the house swaying. And like, then we were like, let's get a horse. And she was like, oh. And I was like. I was. You know, I got.
- [46:12]
Mario
That's the one. That's the one horse I did bet on just because of the Metallica tie in. It wasn't.
- [46:16]
Drew Franklin
The problem was, though, it wasn't. But it's not real Metallica because Tick Tock guy owns it. So the moment I saw him, I said, he's out. I'm done with it.
- [46:24]
Billy
I thought about Shannon because I didn't know the actual Hatfield guy, the Metallica lead singer.
- [46:29]
Mario
James. Yeah, yeah.
- [46:30]
Billy
He was there and a part of it. So I knew Shannon would have a Little money on that one.

Billy

- [47:01]
Drew Franklin
And I said to tall. I was like, something's wrong with him. And then drew 30 minutes later, he was off the air. Apparently had a serious reaction to a peanut.
- [47:10]
Billy
Peanut took him down. That's what it was. I didn't see his initial interview. I guess I just heard you need to hear. But I saw when they came back and they were a quick announcement. Mike, he's here. He's okay, but he's. He's not going to be on and anymore because of his peanut allergy.
- [47:23]
Drew Franklin
Well, because if you go listen to the reaction, it was like it was the crib. Are you okay, man? I said the moment. Yeah, I said the moment. He started talking, I said, something's not right with him. And then it turns out somebody slipped a peanut into him at.
- [47:45]
Billy
I think he ate from our guy's front yard on the way to the race. He had one of those belt button tortillas. It wasn't a. It wasn't a peanut. One of the biggest broadcasts he can be on.
- [47:58]
Drew Franklin
Yeah.

- [48:04]
Billy
He was there. Did they just put him in a room?
- [48:06]
Drew Franklin
I don't know. But I. I knew the moment he started talking something was wrong with that guy. You could just. You could just tell something was not right. And then I don't know what the guy's name is, but he had to be happy because he gets the call up like he thinks he's done for the day. Nope. Right? And they go, hey, man, they gave him peanuts.
