Welcome to hour two of Kentucky Sports Radio, presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones.
Drew Franklin
Welcome back. Hour number two, Kentucky Sports Radio, 859-280-2287. Text machine is 772-774-5254. Okay, Mario has just put out on the KS Bar Twitter feed and Facebook feed and the bond that bridge Facebook feed. So those are the three places the link to the opening night for KSBAR fan dinner. So for those of you that want to do it, you, we're selling them by table. So you buy the whole table, and it's four people, and you can bring who you like. So you buy. You buy the whole table, and you could obviously split it with people. I think it's 20 bucks a seat. And we're selling them by the table. That'll be Thursday, August 21, and it'll be a way to, like, sample different items we're gonna have for everybody there. So that is August 21st. It has just gone on sale. I'm giving you, like an hour where the only people that know, I mean, they're on. It's on there. But, like, I'm not going to promote it on my feeds until after the show, so hopefully we can sell as many of the tables as possible to those of you that listen here live. And Drew should be a fun event. You know, we have, we're doing the trivia on on Wednesday. We're doing the. The opening on Thursday, and then we're having a friendship and family opening on that Saturday. And then the restaurant itself opens to the general public on the 26th.
Unknown Speaker
It's almost here. I'm gonna run by there again today. We had a few more pictures coming in, getting close to finishing my decorating duties, but it's really coming together and I'm excited for that new menu to roll out some new things on there. I'm excited to gain a lot of.
Drew Franklin
Weight, eating lots of new stuff. And thank you again to the people who came to the wings thing about a week ago. Like I said, we, we were gonna. We were trying to decide do we want to do have two different kinds of wings, the ones that we normally have and in this other new type fried wings. And we just decided after that night not to do the fried wings. And we picked our sauces based on it. And so it was very helpful. And you folks will be getting an email from me with, with Some thank yous for, for doing that. That was, that was a fun, fun night. All right. 859-280-2287. Before we go the phone, I want one thing about an off season basketball thing here. Oh, by the way, there were five shade and high school fights this weekend.
Eli Capilouto
Oh wow. All scrimmages too, huh?
Drew Franklin
All scrimmages. That's why the KHSA said it. Five fights where someone was kicked out of the game due to fighting. I mean like with multiple people.
Eli Capilouto
We're going to fight. At least make it count. Do it during the regular season.
Drew Franklin
So everybody may, may need to chill out in Kentucky high school football a little bit. I had no idea that was going to be like that. Some basketball things, Drew, I keep hearing over and over. I mean I've been hearing this all summer but really in the last few weeks when they've started working out a lot, I continue to hear positive things about our guy Colin Chandler. Maybe it's the, maybe it's the marriage, maybe it's just getting into a second year and having been at UK for a while. But I keep hearing people tell me that Colin Chandler is, is like really pushing to be sixth, seventh, eighth man roles and is in tie at times. Can look as comfortable as anybody on the court. I know you're hearing similar things. Are you, are you, are you thinking like junior Nick Richards status here for Colin Chandler or exactly like sophomore Colin Chandler?
Unknown Speaker
I think I don't do these predictions very often. In fact, I don't know that I've done 16 since Nick Richards. But I think we're looking for that kind of jump from a freshman to a sophomore with Chandler and it kind of similar circumstance. Nick Richards had a long time where he didn't play basketball before he got to UK and I think with Chandler's mission we saw just the change he made from Christmas to the tournament. We remember last year there were moments where he was on the floor, especially offensively where you're like this guy, he can't be out there.
Drew Franklin
In the non conference it didn't look like you could play.
Unknown Speaker
But in the tournament I mean he's hitting step back threes. My favorite stat that I share all the time is he had more points in March than he did November through February. He completely hit another gear. And if he just keeps riding that upward trend, I think he's going to be hard to keep on the bench this season.
Drew Franklin
Yeah, I mean I hate to get, you know, I mean I, every year I make like my Matt Jones official Player. The guy I've decided that is going to be my guy. Last year, you know, two years, like for the two years prior to last, it was Antonio Reeves. That ended up working out really well for me. Last year it was Jackson Robinson. That worked kind of well. He didn't quite get where I thought he would, but he was solid. This year it's going to be Jalen Lowe. I, I'm, I'm, I'm like going. I mean, Jalen Lowe's got. I'm putting all my stock in Jalen Lowe. But if I was going to buy a second stock, Drew, I think it would be Colin Chandler because I think whatever it is people think he's going to be, I think he's going to be better next year. I think it's inevitable that one of these transfers is going to disappoint a little bit. I'm not sure which one it'll be. I have kind of my thought as to who it'll be, but I'm not going to like put that tag on him yet. But I think what's going to end up replacing whoever, whichever one it is, is how good I think Colin Chandler is going to be. I just, I think he is, he is going to be significantly better than people think. And I think by, by when we're talking next March about who's coming back, who's, whatever, he might, we might look at him a little bit like the away piece this year of man, we got to get him back. I feel that good about him. Drew.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, he has one of those builds that it's really a pro type body and athleticism. I remember the Blue White game last year. He dunked on. I think it was Brandon Garrison.
Drew Franklin
And even though it was the Blue.
Unknown Speaker
White game and it's early, you weren't setting crazy expectations. But it's like. And not many people can do what he just did. I mean, six, five, he can jump out of the gym. He made over 50% of his three pointers in March last season. Defensively, even before he found his offense, you know, he had great games defensively. I remember Arkansas, he put the clamps on, on Davis. So putting that all together and just give him a little more experience in a whole summer where he's with the team and playing ball, I think the sky's the limit for him.
Drew Franklin
So just, I think whenever, when you're starting to get in the basketball mindset, whatever you are, wherever you are, on what's going to happen with, with Colin Chandler, I would say you should be a Little higher about it. Who's up next?
Eli Capilouto
Adam.
Drew Franklin
Adam. Go ahead, Adam.
Caller
Hey, what's up, guys? Totally agree. Colin Chandler. It's gonna be hard to keep him off the floor next year. I had a question. Matt went to play golf with my cousin yesterday and I've never thought about this before, but just those little annoyances that you do in everyday life that you don't really question, like why are we both paying for a cart when we only have one cart? Like, what are those things in your all's life that you keep doing and you never question?
Unknown Speaker
That's one of them.
Drew Franklin
Have you had you thought about that before, Drew?
Unknown Speaker
Oh, I was. I was a member somewhere in town. I won't name the place, but me and other members would play together and we would. Even if we'd ride on the same cart, we all had to pay the same cart fee.
Drew Franklin
It was the same charge whether there was one or two people on it.
Unknown Speaker
On that case and give us four different carts if we're paying for it. So that's.
Drew Franklin
Yeah, that's a guy. Well, I appreciate the call. That's. That's a good question. I would have to think about that, Shannon, of things that you just do and you. And you don't think about. But that. But that very much frustrate you.
Eli Capilouto
Oh, probably things that we go through on a. On a daily basis that we don't even think about.
Drew Franklin
I feel like most of my annoyances in life though, I bring up on this show.
Eli Capilouto
That's true.
Drew Franklin
Yeah.
Eli Capilouto
You use this as a way to like, grieve this.
Drew Franklin
Yeah, I use this as a. I'm. I'm pretty frustrated with this. I'm just gonna say it. You know, I did that with a certain type of restaurant group the other day and Shannon got a little bit of pushback, so.
Eli Capilouto
A little bit McTribe.
Drew Franklin
Okay. That. Shannon, you're just causing trouble.
Unknown Speaker
You're doing it again, Shannon.
Drew Franklin
You put out the video, Ryan leaves and you decide. You have no. You have no filter. And. And you're just going to start saying stuff. No, you need to. You need to watch it. Who's up next?
Eli Capilouto
Said it. Jason.
Drew Franklin
I didn't say anything. Jason. Go ahead, Jason.
Caller
First time, long time.
Drew Franklin
Who. What's up?
Caller
I want to say Ryan has run the movie Hoosiers for me. I watched it over the weekend and I kept pulling for Joey Chestnut instead of Jimmy Chickwood.
Drew Franklin
You can't. He does. He has completely ruined that. I understand.
Caller
Yeah. I can never watch it again.
Drew Franklin
I. I appreciate the call. I gotta Say, I'm. I think. Drew, I've said this for a long time. I think Hoosiers is overrated. Is. I think it's fine. But I don't. The way Ryan. And it's mostly men of that age. It's men like early 50s to 60s. The way they treat Hoosiers like it is some kind of special thing that makes them cry. I've never understood it. If you're just talking about things that I think are. I don't think it's bad. I think it's entertaining. But if you want to save movies that I think are slightly overrated to get way too much praise, that's one of them. That's Ryan's holy grail. But that's one of. And actually, I'll go ahead and say another one for me, no offense to you, is Forrest Gump.
Unknown Speaker
Oh, my goodness. Now you're being Shannon and just starting trouble today.
Drew Franklin
I'm not. I like Forrest Gump, but I think that, like, I don't understand the way people like you sort of act like it's the best movie that's ever. I like it, but I do think your. Your Forrest Gump and his Hoosiers. I'm always like, guys, why. Why so much?
Unknown Speaker
I was going to join you on Hoosiers. It's not even a rewatch for me. I saw it one time, and that's all I needed.
Drew Franklin
I'm with you now. I will rewatch Forrest Gump. Thank you. I won't rewatch Hoosiers. What is there to see at this point? Right?
Unknown Speaker
I agree. It's not in my top. 10 Little Giants is a much better sports movie. I've probably seen that one a hundred times. The o'. Shea. Give me the o' Shea brothers over Jimmy Chitwood seven days a week.
Drew Franklin
Yeah. Shannon, are you with us on Hoosiers or no?
Eli Capilouto
Yeah, I'm with you on Hoosiers. I can't be on board with you with Forrest Gump. I think that is one of the greatest movies of all time.
Drew Franklin
So what are your. What are your top three shaden. You're like.
Eli Capilouto
Well, you're not gonna agree with mine.
Drew Franklin
But go for it. That's fine.
Eli Capilouto
Eternal sunshine on the Spotless Mind. Family.
Drew Franklin
Love it. That. First of all, that's not top three for me, but that's top 15.
Eli Capilouto
Yup. You're gonna mock this one, but I don't care. Vanilla Sky. I love that movie. I love that movie. I love.
Drew Franklin
You said that before. Remind me why you like vanilla?
Eli Capilouto
I just think It's a great movie. It's Tom Cruise.
Drew Franklin
What is it? Tom Cruise. And what was the woman's name?
Eli Capilouto
Penelope Cruz.
Drew Franklin
Penelope Cruz?
Eli Capilouto
Yeah.
Drew Franklin
Isn't that, like, about being in the. Is it.
Eli Capilouto
He's like a rich guy that gets cryonized. And, like, I don't just have to watch it. It's really weird. I like weird movies. Okay, so, okay, what's the third one? Man? Third movie. I might have to go Forrest Gump number three. I might have to go Forrest Gump. It's definitely in my top five. If it's not three, it's in my top five.
Drew Franklin
All right. And so, Drew, you're Forrest Gump and what?
Unknown Speaker
Probably Hook. Big, big fan of Robin Williams.
Drew Franklin
Is not your second favorite movie. There you are, Peter.
Eli Capilouto
You can't make fun of Vanilla sky.
Drew Franklin
If you say, you cannot be your second favorite movie.
Unknown Speaker
Put some respect on Peter Pan. Hook, Peter Banning. Run Home, Jerry. I mean, I could do the whole movie.
Drew Franklin
All right, and what's your third one? That's the worst call I've ever heard. What's your third one?
Unknown Speaker
I struggle with three. Probably Christmas vacation.
Drew Franklin
Okay. All right, I'll accept that.
Unknown Speaker
The Jackal. Seven.
Drew Franklin
The Jackal. I got a wide range of the Jackal. What is that?
Unknown Speaker
It was the first DVD I ever bought. No, actually, excuse me. I said the Jackal. I meant Heat. I like Heat. And the Jack.
Drew Franklin
Oh, Heat. Now he would.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Drew Franklin
Oh, he's my first two DVDs. He would definitely be in the conversation.
Unknown Speaker
I'll say he at three. Heat at three.
Drew Franklin
I would go. I would go Godfather one two. I'm gonna put them together. I would say Goodwill Hunting and Pulp Fiction are probably mine.
Unknown Speaker
I forgot another Ashley Judd classic on my list. Simon Birch. Maybe three.
Drew Franklin
Simon Burch.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Drew Franklin
Two of your top four are Hook and Simon Burch. Really?
Unknown Speaker
If you're a movie between 94 and 98, probably owned you and watched you 30 times.
Drew Franklin
Hook and Simon Birch are the two worst movies I've ever.
Unknown Speaker
Classic.
Eli Capilouto
I just thought of a better number three for me than Forrest Gump. The Big Lebowski.
Drew Franklin
Good call.
Eli Capilouto
The Big.
Drew Franklin
Here's something I learned this weekend, Shannon. I didn't know. Did you know the guy that John Turturro played? Did you know they made another movie about him?
Eli Capilouto
Jesus Rolls.
Drew Franklin
And it came out. It came out the week before COVID So it just died.
Eli Capilouto
But it's. You can watch. It's out there. Like, I knew that they were going to. I didn't know that it actually got released.
Drew Franklin
I know it got made and it got released the week before COVID apparently.
Eli Capilouto
Yeah.
Drew Franklin
And no one watched it because now.
Eli Capilouto
I'm gonna watch it with War of the Worlds.
Drew Franklin
So you didn't, you've never seen it? You didn't even know it was out?
Eli Capilouto
No, I knew that they were making it, but I didn't know it ever got a release.
Drew Franklin
I thought apparently it did. By the way, the guy that the NASCAR guy that fell has won six times this year, so it wasn't his first rate. He's actually 18 years old in the newest sensation on NASCAR, so he'll probably have a chance to make up for his embarrassment. BB and summer's almost here if you're ready to enjoy your favorite outdoor activities without pain or stiffness. Let's say you follow a car, go to court Physical therapy. Our therapists are here to help you get moving again. No medications, no injections, no surgery. Maybe pay played in an old Timers baseball game and you got hurt. Court.com it's k o r t.com get the physical power of physical therapy with Court Simon Burch and Hook Drew. You have way too good a taste for those to be two of your four boots classics. We'll take a break. Be right back.
Matt Jones

Drew Franklin
It will never cease to amaze me or shock me Shannon, that this is Kenny Rogers.
Eli Capilouto
Oh I know. Yeah.
Drew Franklin
Like like it's still I I I listened to this song and watched this movie for I only found out this was Kenny Rogers like three years ago and it shocked me that Kenny Rogers produced this kind of music at the beginning of his career. You know Tulsa Turnaround, that song I love so much with Tyler Childers. The first version was Kenny Rogers singing.
Eli Capilouto
It like this and the first edition is band like a psychedelic funk band that he was in and then he.
Drew Franklin
Switched from that to singing like just a few years later Islands in the Stream with Dolly. Yeah, well I guess he so crazy.
Eli Capilouto
It worked out for him though there.
Drew Franklin
You were saying something about that UK football picture. There's AI versions of it.
Eli Capilouto
I Hope this one's AI. There's now people taking pictures and making AI versions.
Drew Franklin
Let's just hope I don't. But then again, I thought that one was a. I couldn't believe it was. It was real. You have some people Drew taking up for Simon Burch.
Unknown Speaker
As I should.
Drew Franklin
Both hubby. Our friend CJ from Tyler Childers Band. Both say Simon Birch is great. No one is taken up for Hook, by the way.
Unknown Speaker
Oh, come on. There's lots of people that like Hook. How can you not like Hook?
Drew Franklin
Is Simon Burch the movie that was based on the book Owen Meaney? Is that what it is? It's about like a little kid, right, that you could pick up?
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, yeah. Owen Meanie. He.
Drew Franklin
Yeah. That's. Spoiler.
Unknown Speaker
Spoiler alerts. Very sad. Ashley Judd dies in the. In the movie. His mother. It's very sad scene, but it's very inspiring.
Drew Franklin
Well, now I don't have to watch it because you told it's early in.
Unknown Speaker
The movie when that happens.
Drew Franklin
One person writes, matt, I cannot believe you said Forrest Gump and Hoosiers are overrated. Is there any other great movie you want to bring down? I'll tell you another one I think is a little overrated.
Eli Capilouto
Shannon, what's up?
Drew Franklin
I think this movie's really good. First time I saw it, I thought it was awesome, but I think it's gotten way too much, like, glaze in the best movies of all time. Shawshank Redemption. Really good, entertaining. But most men my age will say it's their favorite movie, and I don't get why. Like, it's interesting. It's good. But is it the best movie of all time? Are you a Shawshank guy?
Eli Capilouto
Not really, no.
Drew Franklin
No, but I like it. But there you be amazed how many people will say they think it's the best. I don't get it. It's fine. But why do Pete? Just because he ends up on the island? That's what makes it so great, I guess.
Eli Capilouto
It's got a 9.3 out of 10 on IMDb is.
Drew Franklin
Which is crazy hot, right?
Eli Capilouto
Yeah. Nobody gets.
Drew Franklin
Yeah.
Eli Capilouto
Nine point. Drew.
Drew Franklin
Are you Shawshank?
Unknown Speaker
It's good and I understand why it gets the credit.
Drew Franklin
Does.
Unknown Speaker
It's not really. Probably in my top 25. I don't watch it a whole lot. Even I would even say Green Mile is a better prison movie. But I understand why people like people.
Drew Franklin
I think guys like it because it's like, ultimately like a male friendship movie. Right. One person writes, matt, if you don't like Hoosiers 3 best movies that have sports in them. Well, if you mean sports is like a centerpiece, Caddyshack is clearly number one. I mean, most sports movies are so cheesy that it's hard to like.
Eli Capilouto
I'll tell you mine.
Drew Franklin
Moneyball, I like. Like. What were you going to say?
Eli Capilouto
I mean, maybe kind of childish, but I love the Sandlot. I thought that was a great.
Drew Franklin
That's a good childish movie. For sports, I would definitely go Moneyball and Caddyshack. I might think of the third. What's yours, Drew?
Unknown Speaker
I have three. They're all football already named Little Giants.
Drew Franklin
You're gonna say remember the Titans aren't.
Unknown Speaker
Remember the Titans, Rudy. Rudy might be my number one sports movies.
Drew Franklin
You really love Rudy. So you love that.
Unknown Speaker
Who's the wild man now? Yeah, I like to get my feelings when I'm watching movies, which is why I like Hook so much.
Eli Capilouto
What about the rookie? Did you guys like that? The old man that made the majors?
Drew Franklin
No.
Eli Capilouto
You didn't like that?
Unknown Speaker
That sounds like a Ryan movie.
Drew Franklin
Yeah, that did that. You're exactly right. That sounds like a ride. I think what my third would be. I'll take Friday Night Lights. I'll take that one. Even though the TV show's better, the movie is still entertaining. Yeah, I'll do Friday Night Lights. Who's next?
Eli Capilouto
Rick.
Drew Franklin
Rick. Go ahead, Rick.
Caller
It's awesome.
Drew Franklin
Go ahead, Rick.
Caller
Hey, guys.
Drew Franklin
Go ahead.
Caller
I didn't get to hear the first hour. I didn't get to hear the first hour. Have you talked about War of the World yet?
Drew Franklin
No. So I haven't got to be fair. I haven't gotten to watch it. I'm going to watch it this week, but I haven't gotten to watch it. War of the World's the Ice Cube movie. By the way, it's up to 4% on Rotten Tomatoes. It was at zero for the first. It's up to 4% now.
Eli Capilouto
He's getting sympathy.
Caller
I tried to call. I tried to call in Friday to dissuade you guys from watching it. It is that bad? It looks like it was shot with cell phones.
Drew Franklin
Well, I think half of it was. Is it half of it just him with, like, doing a selfie or something?
Caller
He's doing zoom calls with everybody. And the whole freaking world has his. Has his phone number. His kids call him, his family calls him. The President calls him. It's ridiculous. My wife and I just were flipping around trying to find something. We watched about 20 minutes of it. I looked up, looked at her and Said you had enough of this. It's like, yeah, I'm done. I mean, it, it, the whole. There's, there's no, in the first 30 minutes, there's no aliens, there's no nothing. It's just him on a zoom call with the whole world.
Drew Franklin
All right, well, I'm still gonna do it. I asked everyone to do it. Yeah, I asked everyone to do it, so I'm gonna do it. I appreciate, appreciate the call. Did either of you get to see any of it?
Eli Capilouto
No, I'll watch it today.
Drew Franklin
Okay.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, I will too. I'll have it done by tomorrow. I'd forgotten about it, by the way.
Drew Franklin
UFC just announced signed a seven year, 7.7 million dollar deal. All UFC fights will be on Paramount, including the pay per views. There will be no more pay per views for ufc. All fights will be available on the Paramount app and CBS will air a handful during the year. But that means no more the UFC pay per view. Shannon, as a thing is gone. Everything will just be on the Paramount app.
Eli Capilouto
It's kind of the same thing that WWE is doing, right? No more pay per views. It's all just these premium live events that you just get with the app.
Drew Franklin
So do you think this will make UFC bigger now that you know, like they may air a few fights on cbs so it'll be on network television and in theory, if you wanted to, you could watch everything. Drew, does he think that's will make it more exciting?
Unknown Speaker
I think it's a good move. I'm an example of someone that'll watch it a lot more. I was never going to give a dollar, but if it's a Saturday night and I have access to it, I'll turn it on. I will say it's kind of sad the days of pay per views. I remember I had a friend named Matt Randall and we would all throw in and go to his house for either the wrestling pay per views. We had the Holyfield Tyson. It was like a big deal to get everybody together, Everybody throw in 10 bucks and get a pay per view at some Middlesboro.
Drew Franklin
You had to go down to the cable company and get a little thing that would go into your box and it would unscramble. Do you know what I'm talking about?
Eli Capilouto
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker
Oh yeah.
Drew Franklin
My mom did it for the Judd's finale concert. It's the only time I ever, ever saw it happen. We'll be right back. TJ Smith, personal injury attorney.
Ryan Seacrest
Call tj.
Drew Franklin
He'll make him pay.
Eli Capilouto
Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented By Stockton Mortgage, here's Matt Jones.
Drew Franklin
Still think Ice Cube's life is. Has, like, had one of the weirdest arcs of all time. Shannon from, like, N.W.A rapper that, you know, people said was ruining children and all this to, like, doing Daddy Daycare.
Eli Capilouto
Yeah, yeah. Well, you know, I guess.
Unknown Speaker
Are we there yet?
Drew Franklin
Are we. I mean, what an. And then he still tries to be a hardcore rapper, and it's like, dude, you've done three Daddy Daycares.
Eli Capilouto
Yep.
Drew Franklin
You can't now all of a sudden be a hardcore rapper.
Eli Capilouto
Then we get ice Tea also, you know. Well, he's not doing.
Drew Franklin
Yeah, but he at least still plays like a hardcore guy.
Eli Capilouto
That's true. Yeah. Ice Cube is. Is strange, you know, like his career strange.
Drew Franklin
He's just got a strange thing. A lot of people don't like my Shawshank Redemption take. I expected that. I will say the 1995 Oscar for best Picture. I'm gonna read you the nominees. A lot of people think this is the best year they ever had for this. It's Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, Shawshank Redemption, Quiz Show. By the way, Drew, I love all four of those movies. I mean, I think Forrest Gump and Shawshank are a little overrated, but I think they're all four really good movies. All right, Agree.
Unknown Speaker
Completely agree.
Drew Franklin
Do you know what the fifth one is? Does anybody know what the fifth movie to go with those top four? Are those four considered legendary movies? She had any idea what the fifth one is that was nominated?
Eli Capilouto
I don't even have a guess.
Drew Franklin
You'll. You would never get this. Four Weddings in a Funeral.
Eli Capilouto
No, I would not have guessed that.
Drew Franklin
That's crazy to me. Like, that movie is stupid.
Eli Capilouto
Yeah.
Drew Franklin
And that is.
Eli Capilouto
That is with all those legendary.
Drew Franklin
And then it's in there with, like, four legendary movies. And then Four Weddings and a Funeral. People are reminding me that boxing movies could be in it. That's true. If you have boxing, you have, like, Raging Bull, Rocky Creed. So there's a lot of good choices. If you throw in boxing and then Shannon the Wrestler, to me.
Eli Capilouto
Yeah, is.
Drew Franklin
Is one of the great movies, too, of all time.
Eli Capilouto
That's a great one.
Drew Franklin
You're talking about sports with Hoop Dreams. Good documentary.
Eli Capilouto
You're not going to.
Unknown Speaker
One of the best documentaries ever done without sports documentaries, too.
Eli Capilouto
No. Nacho Libre. You're not going to put that in there.
Drew Franklin
I'm going to give you another one that I think is a little overrated, that this will also. This goes along the same track as these others I've Said, I mean, field of dreams, I think is overrated.
Eli Capilouto
You're gonna get a lot of pushback from that. Ryan would be. I'll back basically you if he were here.
Drew Franklin
Basically. If you took Ryan's top 10 list, I think every single one of them is overrated.
Eli Capilouto
Finding Nemo Barnyard.
Drew Franklin
Never saw that either. Tell me about Stockton Mortgage before we go to the phone.
Eli Capilouto
Well, Ryan's not here.
Drew Franklin
I know that's gonna be you this time.
Eli Capilouto
I don't know what to say about Stockton Mortgage.
Drew Franklin
Well, do it. You say it's on the list.
Eli Capilouto
Stockton Mortgage. They're growing. Go there. They'll get you to the closing table. And that's what it's all about. It's a great time to buy Stockton Mortgage. NMLS 8259. Equal housing lender. I don't know how I even know that.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Drew Franklin
You'Re right about the NMLS. It is 8259.
Caller
Just.
Eli Capilouto
I've heard it so many times, I don't even have anything in front of me.
Drew Franklin
You go to stockton.com, your home might be the MVP of your summer plans. And stockton.com is there. Equal housing lender. NMLS consumeraccess.org NMLS 8259 equal housing lender.
Eli Capilouto

Drew Franklin
That's. That is actually very impressive. Who's up next?
Eli Capilouto
Matt.
Drew Franklin
Matt. Go ahead, Matt.
Caller
What's up, guys?
Drew Franklin
What's going on?
Caller
What's up, guys? Hey, I'm sitting out my. Well, I'm standing out my garden, doing a little meditation style called grounding. And out in the day shine. Enjoying this beautiful day the good Lord has give us. And I just got a couple of things to say.
Drew Franklin
Go for it.
Caller
All right, first, we all got. We got to put out good vibes for this UK team, man. This. This upcoming football season. We stop saying 2 for 10 and 4 for 8. Let's. Let's go for it. You know what I mean? Put those good vibes out there and maybe, you know.
Drew Franklin
Well, I mean, I think if you listen to bluer than most or bluer than you, maybe you can have that. By the way, no proof that exists. No. I've had not one person show me anything. That dude completely made that up as a way to argue. What's your next thing?
Caller
Yeah. Okay. Good fellows. Tommy Boy. Wedding Crashers. Mighty Ducks. Come on. The Mighty Duck. That's a great sports movie.
Drew Franklin
All those are good. I like every single one of those movies you just said. I Appreciate the call. Those are all. I think Goodfellas to me is in my top 10, so I think that's good. UK Athletics has announced Drew BBN United, which I don't totally understand what it is, but VBU and United is apparently an innovative loyalty and membership platform developed to get you closer to the UK athletic fan experience there. They say they, quote, empower student athletes and blend one of a kind experiences to showcase the heart of big Blue nation. It has accessible monthly rates, insider access, exclusive content and memorable experiences. That's a lot of words that don't really say anything to me. Drew, what do you think? This will be a way to get.
Unknown Speaker
More money from the fans. I hope they make it worth their while though. But what is best at some of their content? Well, I'm wondering if they're stepping up the content game because if they're just putting what they do now behind a paywall, they're not the best at content.
Drew Franklin
Well, this worry, this is what worries me. I mean, are they gonna make it to where the like, you know, the videos they put out of like practice and all that, is that just gonna be. You have to pay for it now? Do you think that's what it is?
Unknown Speaker
They'll do that because then what are you putting on social media? I mean, you gotta have something for just everyone, the fans, if you just take their one minute practice clips and put it behind a paywall.
Drew Franklin
But I don't know what they can. I mean, I guess they said they could do meet and greets. Okay. So I mean that's, I guess that's good.
Unknown Speaker
Bb, is that merchandise so you can get your T shirt.
Drew Franklin
Do you want a BBN United shirt? Like, I guess maybe some people do meet. I don't know what legends. I think you got to be very careful if you're, if you're uk Shannon with just asking for money at every.
Eli Capilouto
Every fans feel like they're just being nickeled and dimed at every turn.
Drew Franklin
Can't just gouge them forever.
Eli Capilouto
Yeah.
Drew Franklin
This is partially what causes some of our issues with UK is UK has now gone into the content business. All right, so it used to be the case that you had the media outlets, of which KSR is one, but there are others that were producing content and UK was the UK Sports were the entity that were being covered by the content. If you go back to coachcal.com UK has tried to basically be the content along with the people covering them and they want to compete with these people and that's fine, but they'll the problem with that is you're trying to sell content to something that you also are. So a. You're definitely not going to be objective, but you also can't be interesting. I mean, a perfect example is that conversation, Shannon, we had about that picture, the video. Right? You can't have that if you're uk.
Eli Capilouto
No.
Drew Franklin
No, you can't have that conversation. So they just keep trying to do this and it has failed multiple times. Coachcow.com failed. They had a UK insider thing after that that failed. I'm not saying this won't, but if they just try to produce the same content that these companies like ksr, that are free or have, like, membership communities do, it'll fail. Because they can't do interesting stuff, Drew, because they're the official partner. Like, you cannot cover yourself. You know, it just doesn't work.
Unknown Speaker
I agree. And you can't. I don't even think you can mention recruits unless they've signed. That's been a rule forever.
Drew Franklin
I think you can't mention recruits. I mean, percentage of KSR's website is recruiting 30, 40% now. They can't even do that part.
Eli Capilouto
So then what are you even paying for? Like, what are you paying?
Drew Franklin
I don't know. What are you getting videos from practice? I mean, I guess that's it.
Unknown Speaker
Let's be. Let's be honest. They're not good at those as it is. Like, they'll tease an interview with someone and three months later they'll post something from spring. Now, are they stepping up their game and it's going to be better behind the paywall or people just now paying for, at UK football and X, what they were doing?
Drew Franklin
What has worked best in terms for UK athletics, in terms of putting out product? And this is. People may think this is going to sound very selfish and it probably is to some extent, but it's also true. The way UK has always gotten their message out best is by using media people to get their message out. The best thing that's happened to UK football this year is a set of interviews. KSR was one, but there was others that Shi Oz Pete did with other entities outside of UK sports. That's what's worked. That's what they should do. If you continue to try to do the official UK stuff, Shannon, you end up with pictures where you're holding hands and jumping up in the air and.
Eli Capilouto
Nobody wants to see that.
Drew Franklin
You do. Like, you think I would have asked.
Matt Jones
Them to do that?
Drew Franklin
No.
Eli Capilouto
No.
Drew Franklin
So I just, like, this is nice. I guess this is a way they think they're going to raise money, but do I think that's successful? I don't know how it can be because they're not willing. The only way it could be successful is if you like live streamed every practice, which they're never going to do because that would give other teams access to the. So I, I just. They announce one of these every few years and they never work, but they just keep doing it and, you know, I guess at some point they think it might. We'll take a break. Be right back. Kentucky Sports Radio the reviews and ratings.

Welcome back Turkey Sports Radio, 859-280-2287. One person writes Matt, if they take the Journey videos and put them behind a paywall, I'm done with UK sports. They better not do that. They're so good at those.
Unknown Speaker
That is something they're awesome at.
Drew Franklin
They are really good at that. Don't do that. Like if you start making the thing that you do, that is your best way of promoting the product. If you start making that inaccessible to people, it's just a bad. It's just a bad decision. I hope they don't do that. You we'll see. We'll see what they what they end up deciding. DraftKings. You go to DraftKings. Bet five, win $200 at DraftKings. Use my promo code. KSR football season's coming. Let's do a pick for tonight. However, DraftKings, the crown is yours. If you have a game problem, call 1-800-GAMBLER 867-5543, T8@Kentucky or gambler.org Phillies and Reds tonight. I have one request for the Reds. We got to move Austin Hayes down the lineup. He took some of the worst at bats I've ever seen. Yesterday he swung at pitches Shannon that almost went in the dugout.
Eli Capilouto
And he still, yeah, some really bad pitches.
Drew Franklin
He got a big hit at the end, but he had three strikeouts, were three of the worst strikeouts I've ever seen. I was sitting right behind the whole plate and I'm like, dude, I wouldn't have even swung at that. So move him down. Move Marte up. But Andrew Abbott pitching for the Reds. Who you got tonight, Shannon?
Eli Capilouto
I'll go with your Reds. I think they are. They're turning the corner. I think that they. I'm going to say that. I'm going to say the Reds make the playoffs. Oh, I'm going to say they.
Drew Franklin
I'm not ready to do that yet. Although Hunter Green's coming back Wednesday night. So I'm going to take the Reds tonight. I'm worried about the rest of the series, though, because the. This is. Well, we need to win three, at least three of these six games at home, and I worry we won't. But I'm going to take the Reds tonight. What about you, Drew?
Unknown Speaker
I'm also going with the Reds. You got a little momentum when in the last two in Pittsburgh, you can see the wild card spot right in front of you. And I hate the Phillies. So the Reds win tonight.
Drew Franklin
Yeah. Boy, it would be nice to me if we made the play. Although, of course, Shane, if we make playoffs, I'm in South Africa.
Eli Capilouto
So let's see that. That's what's going to happen, right?
Caller
The playoffs.
Eli Capilouto
The one year you can't go to the playoffs.
Drew Franklin
I know it's going to be. It's going to be terrible. Who's up next?
Eli Capilouto
Retired ref.
Drew Franklin
Retired ref. Go ahead.
Caller
Matt. I got on the website and I saw Kentucky talking about football, their schedule, and I'm seeing a possibility of five losses in a row. What do you think?
Drew Franklin
Oh, I mean, yeah, for sure. They certainly have a possibility. I mean, they got. Look, you can make a strong argument that after the Eastern Michigan game, they could have seven losses in a row. Right. I mean, the next easy game is Tennessee Tech. So you. I mean, you're going to. Let's put it like this. We are going to be the underdog. Chances are very high. We're going to be the underdog in nine of our 12 games. So when you're sitting there saying, are you going to be favored or. Excuse me, are you. Are you going to lose? If you just go by the spreads, then yes, but I think I'm with Drew. I think they'll win, let's say one or two of those. But no, it wouldn't be crazy to lose five in a row.
Caller
Okay, you've been talking about movies. Curious what you would rate. Or if you've seen the Russell Crow. Robin Hood movie. I've watched it too many times.
Drew Franklin
Russell Crowe. Is that. What's it called? Robin. Is that just. It's just called Robin Hood.
Caller
Yes, Robin Hood with Kate Blanchard.
Drew Franklin
I don't think. I don't know if I've seen that. I appreciate the call. I. I've seen Robin Hood, Men in Tights, the comedy, and that's pretty.
Unknown Speaker
Also. Also on my list. You like that one and the Kevin Costner version, both better than Russell Crowe.
Drew Franklin
What's the Kevin Costner's versions called? Is that the one with Rod?
Unknown Speaker
Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves, used to give me.
Drew Franklin
Is that the one that had the trio, Rod Stewart, Brad Adams and Sting sing that song together? If it's love, you make that song.
Eli Capilouto
I think it is. I think that's the one.
Unknown Speaker
Adams.
Drew Franklin
I think I told you one time in my high school, for a pep rally, three dudes in my high school got up and sang that together. It did not go well for Middlesbrough High school football pep rally. Yeah, they sang that Robin Hood. So I'm telling you, go listen to it and think of how bad that would have gone in Middlesborough, Kentucky, in like 1994. Did not go well. Still makes me cringe to think about what's next.
Eli Capilouto
John.
Drew Franklin
John. Go ahead, John.
Caller
Hey, guys, real, real quick on the movies. A prison and sports movie together. The original Longest Yard with Burt Reynolds.
Drew Franklin

Caller
It's really good. Three other movies. Two are wartime prison movies, the Way Back and the Boy in the Striped Pajamas, But a movie that I think people need to see just to have them think is Law Abiding Citizen. Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx. Great movie. Last thing I need to make. Before we hang up, I give Drew my phone number so he can call me about his cypb.

Hey, guys, a football question and then a drive safe Kentucky observation in the football. Where does Wilcox. Where is he in the running back mix? Because they keep saying that the Dallas guy and the other guy are the 1, 2, and they didn't play in the scrimmage and Patterson got most of the carries. Where's. Where's Wilcox fit in?
Drew Franklin
I think everybody acknowledges that he. And that he's like, probably. Probably third at best or Fourth. He is behind both transfers. And he may be behind Patterson as well.
Unknown Speaker
I think he is. He's down to four. From the leading rusher a year ago to running back four.
Caller
Okay. And as far as. I think we all embraced. Buckle up. Phone down. Do you think. Back seat. Check the back seat. Is that gonna.
