[Shannon the Dude]

Lender nmlsconsumeraccess.org welcome to hour two of Kentucky sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones.

[Drew Franklin]

Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio hour number two, Matt Jones, Drew Franklin, Mario Maitland here in Scottsdale, Arizona. Shannon's back in Kentucky. We will be back. Ryan will be back on the show tomorrow. I will still be here but they will be there and you can give us a call. 859-280-2287. Remember Friday, we're going to be in Owensboro at the Kentucky Skin Cancer Center. If you look in the morning, you see spots on your face or on your body, have someone look at it. Look at it by a dermatologist at the Kentucky Skin Center. We will be there Friday, 2915 New Hartford Road in Owensboro. They'll have local food vendors, free coffee for the first 25 guests. So get there early for your coffee and get your summer skin protection goodies. You can learn more at the Kentucky Skin Cancer Center. We'll treat you not just like a patient, but like family. That will be Friday. So we're, I'm going to be very tired when I get there, but ready to rock in Owensboro. It's also the barbecue festival this weekend, people. If you've never been Owensboro, the barbecue festival is a big thing. The best food you'll have. Shannon, you've been to the barbecue festival over there in Owensboro.

[Shannon the Dude]

I love some good barbecue. So I'm looking forward to it.

[Drew Franklin]

It's great. That will be this weekend. So after we go, after we do our show, I think we're going to go try to find some, some barbecue at the barbecue festival.

[Mario Maitland]

I've been to it many times, but it's been probably 10 years since I've been. But it's a lot of fun. I'll be there a little earlier. I'm going Thursday night. Looking forward to a fun weekend. We're gonna have a little Billy birthday party, I hope, Thursday night. So we'll be around Owensboro.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. Well, you, if you're, if you're around Owensboro, come see us at the show Friday at the Kentucky skin cancer center. 859-280-2287. We'll go back the phone just a second. But NBC Sports, you, you probably don't know the name Jonathan Fagan, right? Nobody knows.

[Mario Maitland]

I do not.

[Drew Franklin]

But he is the voice. When you watch the Olympics on NBC, he's the voice that comes in and out and does the promos.

[Mario Maitland]

Okay.

[Drew Franklin]

Right. So probably none of the four of us would know his voice, but if we heard his voice, we would know what he says. NBC. He died, unfortunately, rest in peace, after the Olympics last year. But, Shannon, his voice is apparently iconic with the Olympics.

[Shannon the Dude]

Okay. Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

So they have made a deal with his family that they will use AI to have his voice do the Winter Olympics this year. His family agreed to it. And now the same voice that has been used in the Olympics in years past will be used as the official voice in the Olympics this Year. And some people wonder, is this the start of bringing back all kinds of announcers? Like John Madden could just be back. Wow. An AI version of John Madden. Kentucky Sports Radio could exist after I died, but just with me, with AI, you could conceivably Rush Limbaugh could replace Clay and stray. That come on after here. So leave aside the ethics because his family agreed to it. Shannon, would you. Do you think this is a good idea, A bad idea? What do you think?

[Shannon the Dude]

It's kind of cool because it's really a way for you to live forever, Right. I mean, if you could use that voice until the end of time, it's sort of cool that you can honor that person's legacy long after they're gone. So as long as the family's okay with it. And I guess he would be.

[Drew Franklin]

We don't know. He would be okay. Probably never. But never even assumed it was something you could do.

[Shannon the Dude]

Yep. And as long as they're paying the family for the continuing.

[Drew Franklin]

The family.

[Shannon the Dude]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

Then.

[Shannon the Dude]

Then I'm. I'm kind of fine with it, I think. I mean, it's strange, but I like it.

[Drew Franklin]

Would any of you not want your families in the future to have you live forever via voice? My hand is right.

[Mario Maitland]

Mine too. I don't like this feel.

[Drew Franklin]

Eerie.

[Shannon the Dude]

I don't like what you guys don't want to live forever.

[Drew Franklin]

Well, first of all, I don't want to live forever. Just in general, I mean, your voice. No, because I don't care how. How good AI is. I don't want to be held responsible for what AI says. I would.

[Shannon the Dude]

So you think AI could ruin your legacy postmortem?

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, I don't care how smart it is.

[Shannon the Dude]

But no, that's AI, Matt. That's not really.

[Drew Franklin]

But here's the thing, though. There are. Everyone has thoughts in their head that are good and bad, right?

[Shannon the Dude]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

And you have a filter that makes you decide whether it's good or not. And some people's filter is better than others. Ryan's filter is terrible. Ryan has no worse thoughts than. Than anyone else. It's just he doesn't know when not to say it. He doesn't know to say, you know, I think women make good food, so they should keep making food. Like, I don't like. He doesn't know not to say that. I worry that the computer, the AI would not have that and then my legacy would be stained by something they said.

[Shannon the Dude]

Here's the thing, though, like, Matt, I hope you live to be 150, but, like, let's say you passed away before me. I want to still be able to argue with AI Matt.

[Drew Franklin]

Well, that's the thing. Do you want. Do you want that? Like, okay, so people. We talked about people being irreplaceable. Everybody agrees John Madden is the best announcer ever. Would you want to hear John Madden call a game right now?

[Shannon the Dude]

Yes. If there was an alternate, like let's say they got the regular broadcast and an alternate broadcast on another station. I'm watching the Madden broadcast.

[Drew Franklin]

Would you want to have John Madden?

[Mario Maitland]

I'm conflicted here because I'm definitely team no on wanting it to exist, but when you frame it that way, I would tune into a John Badden broadcast.

[Shannon the Dude]

Right now and Pat Summerall. You put them together?

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, I mean, just like a Madden game. Yeah, like, I mean, they still those dudes, but now imagine it's live and they're reacting to what happens with the boom. I mean, would you like to have a virtual Lee Corso still put on the mascot heads?

[Mario Maitland]

I understand Kwood with Kentucky games.

[Drew Franklin]

Kwood, that's the one that. So there we go. I'm asking the fans. 772-774-5254. This is in the realm of. This is not like some crazy thing. No, it's. In the next five years, they could have Kwood Ledford do the UK games. Would you want. Let's assume it wouldn't affect Tom Leach's.

[Mario Maitland]

We don't want to fire Tom.

[Drew Franklin]

Okay, love Tom Leach. But let's say you could have K. Wood, Letford and Ralph Hacker on an alternate stream of Kentucky basketball. Would you want to listen to it?

[Mario Maitland]

See, I hate this concept of it existing. However, I would absolutely tune in for a category.

[Drew Franklin]

You want to listen to it?

[Mario Maitland]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

And so if his family was cool with it, you know, but K. Wood might have had thoughts.

[Shannon the Dude]

Well, say they can filter that out.

[Drew Franklin]

So you're saying that we make it to where AI has like the same filter that K would have.

[Shannon the Dude]

It has guardrails on it. Okay, maybe.

[Drew Franklin]

Maybe I could be talked into it. But we don't know how Kwood would have adjusted to modern life.

[Shannon the Dude]

Will we be able to hear AI? K would like taking puffs of the cigarette, like in between plays.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. What if K would smoking during the game smoke during the old UK game?

[Mario Maitland]

Yes. I've mentioned this before, but I just did this. This took one second. You can go to chat GPT and write an episode of ksr. It is scary how. How real it is.

[Drew Franklin]

Okay, so this is what ks.

[Mario Maitland]

I just typed that in that you.

[Drew Franklin]

Typed in KSR set.

[Mario Maitland]

I said write an episode of ksr.

[Drew Franklin]

So this is what they say. I would say I'm going to read exactly Shannon.

[Mario Maitland]

What chat all of us are.

[Drew Franklin]

I'm gonna read exactly what JP Chat says. I would say.

[Shannon the Dude]

Okay.

[Drew Franklin]

Welcome everyone. It's Kentucky Sports Radio Monday edition. Live from KS Bar Grill in beautiful Lexington, Kentucky. I'm Matt Jones joined as always by Ryan Lemon, Drew Franklin and Shannon, the dude behind the board. Big show today. Travis Perry lit it up in a scrimmage. Liam Cohen's back doing Liam Cohen things at spring practice. And Ryan might have had another run in at the Meyer Self checkout. And then Ryan Lemon goes, listen, those machines hate me. I scan grapes and it charged me for rib eye. And I don't even like rib eye.

[Mario Maitland]

Isn't that.

[Drew Franklin]

And then Drew responds, that's a lie. I've seen you eat a 20 ounce ribeye at Malone's and ask for dessert.

[Mario Maitland]

That took one second.

[Drew Franklin]

Scary, right? That sounds like that could have been.

[Mario Maitland]

It even has I did it one time where Ron was running late and he forgot the. It starts to you being like, did you forget the equipment again? Like the fact that it even knows our personalities.

[Drew Franklin]

Okay, so think about that. This is like an early generation. So yes or no? You would want to hear a K with Ledford game UK of his AI today. He calls Kentucky Louisville next year.

[Mario Maitland]

Yes, I would definitely tune in.

[Drew Franklin]

Would you want to hear it?

[Mario Maitland]

Yes, absolutely.

[Shannon the Dude]

Shannon 100. Yes.

[Drew Franklin]

See, I think I would too. So this is coming, folks. Like Charles Barkley can retire, but he can just make his AI do it forever.

[Shannon the Dude]

Like it's nil. Right? I mean for all of us.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. So maybe I will keep doing KSR after 50. Just won't be me.

[Mario Maitland]

That's so weird.

[Drew Franklin]

That is. It's crazy to think that that can happen. But they're doing that with this guy at the Olympics. You will hear his voice at the Winter Olympics even though he is dead and couldn't possibly know what is happening at the Winter Olympics.

[Shannon the Dude]

Imagine you retire though and you're making the same salary, but you're not even going to work every day.

[Drew Franklin]

You're a. I'm still a salary and retirement exist. Unbelievable. So you tell me, would you want to hear Kwood 772-774-5254? Who's next?

[Shannon the Dude]

Jerry.

[Drew Franklin]

Jerry. Go ahead, Jerry.

[Caller]

Well, first I would love to hear K. Wood particularly doing football because he was as good on football as he was on basketball. And I can't believe they don't make more of his broadcasts available, would you.

[Drew Franklin]

Feel like it was really him when you listened to it, or would you even care?

[Caller]

I wouldn't care, but I, I, I'm amazed at somebody like KSR or UK or somebody doesn't make a library of all of his games.

[Drew Franklin]

This is about the future. You're talking about the past. I'm talking about the future. Would you want to hear?

[Caller]

I love it.

[Drew Franklin]

It's so.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

Oh, yeah.

[Caller]

I'd love it.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Caller]

I grew, I grew up on Kwood. I love Kwood. I, I could listen to me time. But, but my main, my main point in column was, you know, I think that that next September for Stoops is going to be the most important month since he's been here, particularly that first game against Toledo, because Toledo is the best team in the Mac. They've got a really good football team. And if Kentucky drops that gap, I mean, if they go 1 and 4 in September, it could be.

[Drew Franklin]

Well, if Kentucky loses Toledo, it's over. No, no, I mean, it's over if Kentucky loses to Toledo. I agree. It's over. Now, the Ole Miss game, to me, is a more interesting conversation because I don't think they have to win it, but they can't get blown out. But you're right.

[Caller]

Exactly.

[Drew Franklin]

Toledo, Toledo is good, and you cannot lose that game.

[Caller]

No, he can't lose that game. And then also South Carolina, he can't go down there and get blown out. South Carolina, how they, I mean, I'm not saying they're going to win that game, but they got to play well and, and, you know, we'll see what happens. We'll see what happens.

[Drew Franklin]

I'm totally with you, Jerry. I appreciate the call. This dude that was at the party last night, Mincy, he's an Ole Miss guy, and he came up to me and he said that the Ole Miss game is used for, for Lane Kiffin, too. That the fans are kind of like, all right, man. You know, the Kentucky game is like a sticking point to them last year, and they're, they're kind of like, we can't lose to Kentucky again. That Kentucky Ole Miss game in week two is going to be a massive game for both programs. And week one, it goes without saying, like, Mark Stoops, if he lose to Toledo, the time here is just going to end. That's just how it is.

[Mario Maitland]

Toledo, if I'm not mistaken, went to Mississippi State and won last year. They did already have an SEC win just a season ago, but at the same time, to be on the more optimistic end. If Stoops beats Toledo and Ole Miss to start the season, what does that do for the narrative? There's a lot of people that are already done with him, but if he goes, if he beats Ole Miss in your two and. Oh, I think that can completely change the direction of how things are going for him.

[Drew Franklin]

It seems like everybody wants to hear kwood.

[Mario Maitland]

Yeah, I was very anti AI till we framed it as. Would you turn on a KWOOD broadcast? Well, well, yeah, I would actually do that.

[Drew Franklin]

Okay. Like, I think about radio. If you said to me, could I get Tony Kornheiser circa, like before he became a completely grumpy old man like Tony Kornheiser, when I listened to him, which was like 2001 to 2007 or 8, he was awesome. Could I get. If you could get me an AI version of that to talk about what was happening on a day to day basis, I think I'd probably listen.

[Mario Maitland]

You can also, like, you love Bill Simmons. You could also maybe pick who you want to be brought podcasting together. You could like, form your own.

[Drew Franklin]

I mean, I could make a podcast. Exactly right. Like, I could have Tony Kornheiser, Bill Simmons before he became rich and. Yeah. And Shane Gillis and then like, that's a podcast. I mean, come on.

[Mario Maitland]

Not far away, dude.

[Drew Franklin]

It's kind of blows your mind. I mean, when I read this story, apparently they did something like this with Al Michaels last year, but the technology was like very basic. It was like a video game. They're saying they can have this dude that they had update the promos in real time. That's wild. That's crazy. That's wild. Scary.

[Mario Maitland]

Yeah, Well, I heart already has it. We learned it. We had that podcast thing last year, but it can take our show now and put it out in every language.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, they. They take our show and they put it in like. Yeah, there is. Right. Shannon, did you know that there's like a version of me in Arabic doing.

[Shannon the Dude]

This show has already started? It doesn't.

[Drew Franklin]

They don't. They don't send it out, but they have the technology that they could make me speak in Arabic right now. When I signed my new sign, my new deal, there was language in there about it. Basically saying, you give us permission to create foreign language versions of you.

[Shannon the Dude]

I've already got you on Netflix in Italian saying, look at that cake. So we can do that, like with everybody. Language. Basically, yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

All right, we'll take a break. Crazy stuff. Be right back.

Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio 859-280-2287. Some of the people that were writing on the text machine like giving me examples of things you could do are crazy. One person writes, matt, I sort of look at you the way you always talk about cornhizer. I've enjoyed listening to you since I was a kid. If you were gone, I'd love to hear an AI version of the show. It wouldn't be real, but it still would be something. But here's a question for you. Would you like to use it for you to interview people that you admire from the past?

[Mario Maitland]

Oh, that's a nice.

[Drew Franklin]

Okay, so what like I could interview like Muhammad Ali or like Bobby Kennedy, that's what. Or K would like. What if it, what if I were to bring Aikwood on and interview him and he and I talk about the past and the future of UK basketball? Shannon, that's like mind blowing stuff. But it's not. It would be crazy. But it's not really him. No, but it's kind of him.

[Shannon the Dude]

It's all his knowledge.

[Mario Maitland]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

Gives you an idea of what it would may be like, like if it would happen. Yeah, I like that. I'm down. I'm down for it.

[Mario Maitland]

As we saw in what I just handed you, like the substance of what they come up with. You would say it is kind of your tone what we normally do. Like it knows what, what a person.

[Drew Franklin]

Would say because that's like. That's like just processing audio from a long period of time. Yeah. But when you say to me, could I, in real time interview, like, Bobby Kennedy? That's crazy.

[Mario Maitland]

We could get John Caliperi on the.

[Drew Franklin]

Show, but sit and talk to, like, him about, like, his tour of Appalachia in the 60s where he, like, walked. Like, I would be fascinated that. But it would not really be him.

[Mario Maitland]

Wouldn't be really. Wouldn't you feel like you're kind of talking to a wall or, like.

[Drew Franklin]

I don't know. I don't know what it would feel like. Maybe it'll feel normal over time. But this is partially why, like, this conversation is part of a bigger conversation that I do think people need to understand, which is the world is about to be a different place in 10 years. And a lot of, like, our current conversation is about bringing back the world of the past. You just gotta say, stop. Like, it. That ain't happening. You know, the sort of let's bring. Well, I don't want to get into a political fight, but, like, let's bring back jobs. Like, that stuff's gone. Like, this is the future now. I'm not saying it's good. Like, something bad about this is. You could just make Matt Jones the host of KSR forever, and then nobody. Like, there's no new talent that gets to do it. That's not good. But this is coming and our economy. Like, there's gonna be tons of jobs that you. That. That people trained for, that they were told this is the future job that are just gonna go away. They don't need them. Like coders.

[Mario Maitland]

Oh, God.

[Drew Franklin]

Gone. Graphic design. 10 years, they would have told you 10 years ago, go be a computer coder. That's a job you'll always have in Shannon. In five years, they're not gonna need any of them.

[Shannon the Dude]

No. And you have a lot of people without jobs, except, like, the elite.

[Drew Franklin]

Elite graphic designers. Yeah, exactly. Like the things people can do with graphic design.

[Mario Maitland]

Now, some of this is already here. There's already, like, trucking. There's already trucks driving around making deliveries. Deliveries with no one driving them. Yeah, that's already here.

[Drew Franklin]

We see. We saw a car. Shannon. We saw a driverless car. It was, like, right next to it. I mean, I'm saying that.

[Shannon the Dude]

No, like.

[Drew Franklin]

I mean, a lot of scary, but I'd never seen. I've never seen one in person. And it was. I kind of was like, get away from me. Driverless car.

[Shannon the Dude]

The fact that we just right there to park, you know, no.

[Drew Franklin]

So, I mean, there's a whole thing coming that I don't really think America or the world gets. Including me, that is. It's come. Who's next?

[Shannon the Dude]

Michael.

[Drew Franklin]

Michael. What's up, Michael?

[Caller]

Hey, glad you all are having a good time in Arizona. I have a question for you to talk about. Maybe do you think there will ever be a world where the first two rounds of the NCAA are probably given out on a bidding process? Where we could get a bidding process between, like, Nashville and St. Louis, Lexington?

[Drew Franklin]

I mean, they are Cincinnati, but they already do.

[Caller]

Yeah, but get it in, like, a rotation.

[Drew Franklin]

But they're gonna. The city's already bid for this. I mean, that's how they pick the cities. Now, is that cities bid for it? I mean, if you're asking, like, can we get to where there's always one in this area that we could go to, I think the answer to that is yes. Cincinnati did not have the facilities to host until recently. They've upgraded their arena. So Cincinnati's hosting, I want to say, next year or maybe the year after. Nashville usually doesn't bid because they can make more money on concerts then. So that's why they don't do it. You'll notice that the first and second rounds are often in cities like Providence and Greensboro and Wichita, because what I understand is the bigger cities, they think they can make more money with other stuff or they have NBA obligations and hockey obligations that they can't work around. So, sir, that's part of the reason you see why the first and second rounds are often in secondary cities is for that reason.

[Caller]

I was just thinking that, like, in North Carolina, there's always seems like one in Greensboro, Charlotte and Raleigh. And Duke never has to leave the state to play the first two rounds.

[Drew Franklin]

But the reason they do that is Greensboro, Charlotte and Raleigh always sell out immediately. And because there's all those teams there, etcetera, you put. If you put one in Lexington. If Kentucky's not. Excuse me, if Louisville's not good, who's going to fill up? Like. Like, they got lucky. They had Louisville and Tennessee here. But. And I appreciate the call. If. If Louisville and Tennessee weren't in it, would they have sold out Lexington? I don't know. I don't think they would have probably.

[Mario Maitland]

You know, especially when Louisville doesn't make the second round, that probably hurt him, too.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, but the. Like, if we're not a one seed the year it's in Louisville, then did it really help Louisville a lot to get it? So. But I do think you that's why you see the first round have secondary cities, because if you're a team with an NBA team or a hockey team, you are. You have a schedule you have to work around. You got concerts. Whereas, like, again, where. Where did we go this year? Milwaukee. Well, they have an NBA team, but they don't have a hockey team. So it's probably easier to. To schedule. We'll take a break. We'll be right back. This ksr.

[Matt Jones]

TJ Smith, personal injury attorney. Call tj. He'll make him pay.

[Shannon the Dude]

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

[Drew Franklin]

I think I'm scaring people here, Shannon.

[Shannon the Dude]

Why?

[Drew Franklin]

People are sending me. They're just sending me all this stuff. This AI like, how scared they are. They're like, matt, does this mean, like, you know, you start to think about the ramifications of this stuff?

[Shannon the Dude]

Mm, it's wild.

[Mario Maitland]

We've gone too far. We've already gone too far.

[Drew Franklin]

Well, if you think we got too far, wait till we go. Shout out to the ladies of ksr, by the way, who? Their membership is growing. One person writes, Matt, the ladies of KSR are loving having Mario on the show. They all have crushes. That's because I think a lot of them are right in the age range that loves Mario. I love the ladies of ksr. Ladies of KSR are awesome. Two that you can. If you're. If you're a woman, you listen to ksr, you should join their Facebook group. They. They've been great fans, and they are maybe our most loyal fans, and so we. We adore them. All right, I just sent you all chat GPT put together. Somebody put in chat GPT. Shannon, just. And do an episode of KSR a script. Okay.

[Shannon the Dude]

Okay.

[Drew Franklin]

Coming back from break, we are going to read the parts.

[Mario Maitland]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

This is what they say we would say. So this is not us saying this. This is what they say we would say. Drew's gonna read his channel, Read his. Mario, you're gonna play Ryan Lemon.

[Shannon the Dude]

Love it.

[Drew Franklin]

Okay. Because he's not here. All right, let's. This is exactly what Chat GPT says the show would be, and I'm gonna do it like I would do. All right, welcome back Kentucky Sports Radio Live KS Bar & Grill. It's a beautiful day in Lexington. Ryan, how many chicken wings did you just eat during the break? I stopped counting after 12, Matt. But in my defense. Okay, hang on. Is that your ride limit?

[Mario Maitland]

Yes.

[Drew Franklin]

It'll get better. It'll get better. Let me. Oh, you're gonna be like, hey, yeah.

[Mario Maitland]

I wasn't ready for that.

[Drew Franklin]

All right, I'll tell you what. Let's start from the top, because I didn't. I wasn't expecting that as your Ryan Lemon voice. All right, let's try again. All right, welcome back Texas Sports Radio live from KS bar and Grill. It is a beautiful day here in Lexington. Now, Ryan, how many chicken wings did you eat during the break? I stopped counting after 12, Matt. But in my defense, they were honey barbecue ones, so I was basically eating healthy.

[Mario Maitland]

Ryan's over here treating honey barbecue like it's kale.

[Drew Franklin]

All right, let's just like. Sorry. Well, all right. Let's circle back to rides, diet Terry choices later. Let's talk a little Kentucky basketball. Shannon, are you worried about the Cats defense heading into the NCAA tournament?

[Shannon the Dude]

I'm more worried about their free throw shooting, to be honest. You can't win six games in March if you're breaking front ends of one on ones.

[Mario Maitland]

Shannon's right. It's not 1996 anymore. You can't just out athlete everybody. You got to hit your free throws.

[Drew Franklin]

I still. I still say Reed Shepherds on the court. I feel good. That kid's got ice in his veins, man. Ryan, you feel good. If Reed opened a gas station and sold you a hot dog, you are irrationally confident about everything he does. That's because he's a winner, Matt.

[Shannon the Dude]

Okay, so not exactly the best script.

[Drew Franklin]

I actually thought it was a pretty good script, to be honest with you. I mean, Mario playing Ryan might not be realistic, but I mean, like, we.

[Shannon the Dude]

Can try another one. We get Ryan back with us.

[Drew Franklin]

We could say that, though.

[Shannon the Dude]

That could have been. Yeah. A conversation that we had in the past.

[Drew Franklin]

That's a conversation we could have had. Me even saying, you can't out athlete anyone. Like, it's not like 1996.

[Shannon the Dude]

I don't know that I would be concerned about brick and one and ones like free throw. I've never talked about free throw shooting.

[Drew Franklin]

Being worried about it, but still, I don't know, man.

[Mario Maitland]

Coming.

[Drew Franklin]

I like that you think that's how Ryan sounds. Who's up next?

[Mario Maitland]

Dave Chappelle doing his white guy.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, that's like all white people to you. Go. Go ahead. How you doing, fellas? Good. What's up?

[Shannon the Dude]

Just down here in sunny Florida and Sarasota enjoying it.

[Caller]

Listen to you guys talk and want.

[Shannon the Dude]

To ask you guys a question.

[Caller]

What do you guys think about her?

[Shannon the Dude]

Do you think we got to have.

[Caller]

Too many big guys in the center position or in the tall? Because I'M kind of worried about not having enough guards, and I'm gonna hang up here and listen.

[Shannon the Dude]

And again, we'll see you back in.

[Caller]

Kentucky in a little bit, but thanks a lot.

[Drew Franklin]

Bye. Yeah, you know, I do. They basically traded a guard for a big right. As the last person, you know, I'm not particularly worried about it. I mean, you've got. What. So what are our. What's our guard situation? You have Jalen Lowe. You've got Aberdeen. You got Jasper Johnson. Jasper Johnson, you got Ortega. Colin Chandler knows. Trent knows kind, you know, Cam Williams, kind of. So you. I think you're right. I mean, if you asked me in college basketball, would I. Right now, I'd probably want to have a guard instead of another big. But, you know, maybe. Maybe they. When Travis left, they just thought it was a chance to give a shot. So I don't know. I mean, they're. They have a lot of depth, but. But, you know, after Brandon Garrison, there's a lot of unknowns at that center position in some ways, so maybe take two shots at it.

[Mario Maitland]

They're deep at the front court. Not worried about that at all. You're fine. If you have a healthy season, if you have any injuries like you did a year ago, I mean, you're doomed no matter what your roster looks like. But as long as low can play the whole year, I think they'll be fine in the back court. It would be nice to have one more behind them. But that's just Kentucky fans being greedy. We want two at every spot and we want three. I mean.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Mario Maitland]

If you look at other rosters, there's teams in much worse shape than Kentucky's.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. I mean, and they have. They have, in my opinion, three guys that could play point guard at pinch, which is Aberdeen, Chandler, and you could even play. You could throw Jasper in the point guard position, too. Yeah.

[Mario Maitland]

So, I mean, people critical of Colin Chandler, how he played point guard this past season, just a little bit. But you got to remember last summer he didn't practice as a point guard. He barely even practiced at all. If he goes into the year and spends the whole offseason knowing that he's gonna have to do a little ball handling, I think that can completely change his development.

[Drew Franklin]

Did you say we have somebody, Shannon? Oh, I thought you did. Okay. 859-280-2287. I do feel like they probably. They have. Have enough. Are you seeing the. Did you see after we talked about Newark, do you see what happened at Newark yesterday?

[Mario Maitland]

Tell us about it.

[Drew Franklin]

Newark Airport we talked about all the problems, be it turns out a week ago, for two minutes the entire system went off the off the grid. Newark. And for two minutes, all the air traffic controllers lost control of all planes.

[Mario Maitland]

Oh my goodness.

[Drew Franklin]

The reason it apparently happened is they switched over the system from Long Island, New York to Philadelphia because Long island had two people quit. So they didn't have enough people to do it. So they switched it over to Philadelphia to oversee it. But then Philadelphia apparently now has to do Philadelphia and Newark and they didn't. And then they didn't have enough people because of the firings a few months ago. So now two weeks ago, they had two minutes where it went off the grid and they couldn't see any of the planes. That's terrible. That's a pretty traumatic event.

[Mario Maitland]

Heck, yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

Apparently some of the people were very upset, threatened to quit because they were like, I can't do this anymore. The faa, who can't lose any more people said, how about you take 45 day leave? They have, but now they have even fewer people. So now yesterday, 800 flights were canceled into Newark and they are expecting four to five hour delays today. Oh, so Shannon, I think this is a story that's not going away because these people are still on leave, right?

[Shannon the Dude]

Yeah. And you know, even fewer people there.

[Drew Franklin]

And apparently Newark, because it switched over. I don't understand the science of it, but beside. Cause it switched over from Long island island of Philadelphia. They had to create a system that you have to work in Philadelphia to understand. So it's not like they can just bring in people from other branches to fill it.

[Shannon the Dude]

This whole thing just sounds like an absolute nightmare.

[Drew Franklin]

An absolute nightmare. It's chaos. It's absolute chaos. I felt like it didn't. It wasn't chaos. Like it feels like everything just started to fall apart on this getting worse and getting worse. And you are getting on a plane today. Good luck, boys.

[Mario Maitland]

Go grab our suitcases and head to an airport here.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, but at least you're not going to Newark.

[Shannon the Dude]

We'll get the AI version of you ready just in case.

[Drew Franklin]

After our conversation yesterday, I was fine, still flying to Newark, but I don't know about after. I see, I see that like they. First of all, the delays in and of itself. They said yesterday they had planes that just had to circle the city for two hours waiting for a chance to land.

[Shannon the Dude]

Well, when there was somebody there that worked at air traffic control that said I wouldn't fly, it's not safe, that would be the moment I would be.

[Drew Franklin]

Out right but now you understand why they said it weeks ago. It just, they said the whole system just, it disappeared. They had no contact with the planes. The planes had no way to know where the other planes were. They said. Thankfully it was a bright day so you could see everything. But otherwise for two minutes, like what if it had been cloudy?

[Mario Maitland]

We talk about AI might be time to bring the robots into air traffic control.

[Drew Franklin]

I mean, I don't know. Seems like a scary situation from Arizona. Yeah. I have to say, if you were flying into Newark today or tomorrow, wouldn't you be like nervous, very nervous. I wouldn't imagine you on a plane. It'd be interesting to see if like people, how many like canceled flights and stuff they've had to that. To that, you know.

[Mario Maitland]

Mario, you ready to head to the airport? We're not going to Newark, but this is a fun conversation.

[Drew Franklin]

Welcome back, it's Kentucky Sports Radio. I love no matter what you talk about, there'll be people on the text machine who will say to me, Joe Biden, what is the moment that when bad things happen now it's not Joe Biden's fault. Does that just go forever? Because when good things happen, people go cause we got a new president. Then when bad things happen, they go cause less president. When did, when's the moment you get to say it's the other one?

[Mario Maitland]

I'd say we have a few more years to go.

[Shannon the Dude]

Yeah. The next term.

[Mario Maitland]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

Because every time, every time something good, I don't hear anybody go, well that's because of Joe Biden. But every time something's bad, well that's because of Joe Biden.

[Mario Maitland]

Thanks a lot Obama. That's one, too, you know, Bill Clinton.

[Drew Franklin]

Why you got it? Why didn't you fix the airplane? No, I. It doesn't matter to me who's. Who's. Whose fault any of this is. They just got to get it fixed. Like airports, you can't just, like. I mean, there's still people got to fly today. Like you people's lives on, people's lives online. You can't make mistakes. Two quick things in Louisville. Shannon, tonight I'm hearing there's going to be drama. All right. I wish I had a camera there. You know, we. We had that caller call last week about the Joe Creason park.

[Shannon the Dude]

That's right. Yeah. The. The one to put the park.

[Drew Franklin]

So the Joe Crease in park. There's a park. It's a beautiful park. It's beautiful park. And they are gonna, like, take 20 acres of the 65 and make it pickleball. Private pickleball. Which, by the way, at this resort. At this resort I had. We have here, they have free pickleball. I'm actively turning it down. You haven't even walked to that side. It's right there. And I'm like, nope, not going. So tonight they're having a public forum, and I'm hearing through the grapevine. It's going to be wild. Lots of people coming to make their thoughts known. Shannon, I would love to be a fly on the wall at the pickleball forum tonight, because the people that are against this, my neighborhood, you know, I didn't know anything about it when that woman called. My neighborhood is now all signs, save the Joe Crease in park. So people are taking this up as a cause. And Shannon, I bet that opened for him tonight will be something else.

[Shannon the Dude]

People in Louisville are passionate about two things. Parks and pickleball. And you put the two on other ends of the spectrum, you're gonna have a cat fight going on there today.

[Drew Franklin]

That is true. Forget conservative, liberal parks. Pickleball, that is the way to divide a nation right there. It's good. That's gonna be funny to see.

[Mario Maitland]

I'm surprised you're not flying back to be a part of this.

[Drew Franklin]

Well, I don't have an opinion.

[Mario Maitland]

Oh, you definitely have an opinion. You hate pickleball.

[Drew Franklin]

I do, I do. But I don't go to parks. I mean, I like them in theory, but I don't spend a lot of time in them. Plus, they have dogs and children at the parks.

[Mario Maitland]

Okay, this is why you're conflicted. You could get rid of dogs and children, but then you're looking to pick.

[Drew Franklin]

Are there parks where you can't have dogs or children?

[Mario Maitland]

No, I think that's kind of the point of park, you know, where you.

[Drew Franklin]

Can'T have dogs and parks and a pickleball. So I'm very conflicted.

[Shannon the Dude]

You could present both sides. Really?

[Drew Franklin]

Really. Both of you all are the problem.

[Mario Maitland]

You should show up and be anti all of it.

[Shannon the Dude]

You want to get rid of all.

[Mario Maitland]

Of that, you should make it a parking lot.

[Shannon the Dude]

You're the third party.

[Drew Franklin]

How about we do this compromise? Let's get rid of the park. Let's get rid of the pickleball. Let's put a skyline. You.

[Mario Maitland]

I'm gonna make you a yard sign that says make it a skyline just for. Just for this park debate in your community.

[Drew Franklin]

So if anybody goes to that, I'd like to hear what happens tonight. I think it would be nice to have it to be a fly on the wall. Second. I learned something yesterday. What is it, Javier? What was the Alvarado? What jockey won with Sovereignty? Was it Junior Alvarado? Let's say.

[Mario Maitland]

I'm not gonna be able to.

[Drew Franklin]

I'm not sure. But anyway, the jockey that won, he got fined, Shannon, because he hit the horse Sovereignty with his whip one too many times, which means. I didn't know this. In a race, you can only hit. As I read the article, you can only hit the horse in its hindquarters six times. That's it. And he hit it a seventh time. And it's not a competitive advantage. It's for the safety of the horse. So he was fined $31,000. Was a lot of money, I would think, for those jockeys. Yeah, but did you know that there was a whip count maximum? Did you know that?

[Shannon the Dude]

I didn't know that, no. I don't know anything about horse racing to begin with, so I definitely. I thought you could hit it as much as you want.

[Drew Franklin]

I. I never heard that until yesterday. That. That you. I mean, I. It makes sense to me. I mean, I guess we don't want.

[Shannon the Dude]

I mean, I don't want it abused, you know?

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. I don't want to move. What I don't understand is why six is okay, but like, like, yeah, I can.

[Shannon the Dude]

To me, the number.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, to me, 6 is a weird number. It's not. You would think it'd be five.

[Mario Maitland]

Was there science behind this? Did they like.

[Drew Franklin]

Or maybe just if it's so bad, just don't do, like, you can't do it at all.

[Shannon the Dude]

I think we should get to hit the jockey six times. And that's his punishment.

[Drew Franklin]

So every time you go over, we.

[Shannon the Dude]

Give you seven lashes.

[Drew Franklin]

But I did. I had no idea that was the rule. Did you all.

[Mario Maitland]

No, I had no idea. Do you think there's, like a conscious decision while they're riding? Like, crap. I'm. I'm in foul trouble here. I've already done it five times. We're a little behind. I'm just going to take this. Fine. And hit it twice.

[Shannon the Dude]

Lost count. It happens.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. I don't know. Interesting. Just an interesting little tidbit. Who's next?

[Shannon the Dude]

Rod.

[Drew Franklin]

Rod. Go ahead, Rod.

[Caller]
