This is Kentucky Sports Radio, presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones.

[Shannon The Dude]

Welcome everyone, Kentucky Sports Radio. Thursday, August 14th I am Matt Jones. Two weeks before my birthday. That's exciting. At least for actually, it's not exciting. As you get older, it becomes less and less exciting.

[Ryan Lemond]

You're sneaking up on 40?

[Shannon The Dude]

Yep. Gonna be there in about five years. You can give a shout on the Clark's Puppet Shop phone line. It is Ask Anything Thursday, 859-280-2287. A Vision Auto Glass text machine is 772-774-5254 in this is sponsored by the TJ Smith Law Office called TJ. I'll make them pay. I'm here with Drew and Shannon. Tomorrow we are at the state fair. I am told that we would love to have you stop by the booth, hang out, say hi. There will be no chairs. That's important. You're more than welcome to come and see, but there will be no chairs. There is a. It's the first time we've ever had a remote with a no chair announcement, but a no chair announcement. So just keep that in mind. If you stop by and you want to come, you can maybe even bring a chair. But just keep that in mind. Don't be. Don't be expecting a chair.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yep. Standing room only event. It's that big of a deal. I saw Book of Mormon in a standing room only ticket, so it's not that bad. If you want to come stand for a few hours. I was like, the whole place I stood up.

[Shannon The Dude]

You stood up or the whole place.

[Ryan Lemond]

I stood up, I bought a standing ticket. Point being, what's a couple hours on your feet to see a great show?

[Shannon The Dude]

Book of Mormon's great. I've seen it in. I've seen it in four different cities. I've seen New York, London, Louisville, and Chicago.

[Ryan Lemond]

Were you just a station on the tour?

[Shannon The Dude]

I would just be there and it would be on. And I didn't know what else to do. I was like, oh, I'll go to that. Because it's fun. Yeah. 85928 oh, 2287 is Ask Anything Wednesday. You could ask any question UK, sports related or otherwise. You know, Tom, I'm going to talk a lot of. Of sports tomorrow and some today, but I have to tell you, I am. This is a bad decision by me. Okay.

[Mario]

I like, I know it's that ahead of time.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, I know it's a bad decision, but I'm starting to believe in the reds.

[Mario]

Oh, the Reds. I thought you're going to say Kentucky football.

[Shannon The Dude]

I'm not to that level of bad decision yet. By the way, I did see the guy who said 10 and 2 on. You remember the guy? And he said there was like blue in my ear.

[Ryan Lemond]

Bluer than you.

[Shannon The Dude]

Bluer than you podcast. And the guy said 10 and 2. Bluer than you podcast does not exist. But there is a guy who has some podcast. I don't know if it's called Lovely Kentucky or something. It's. It's some form of words and blue in Kentucky. He was going through this and he had us at 10 and 2. So that person did exist. I think the caller said lots of people. I saw one. But he did have it. Good for him.

[Ryan Lemond]

What are the two? I guess Texas.

[Shannon The Dude]

He thought Georgia. I think he thought that we would. We would squeak one loss to Texas and then squeak one loss at Georgia.

[Ryan Lemond]

Okay.

[Shannon The Dude]

But the other 10, I think he thought Shannon were golden.

[Mario]

We're going to the championship then.

[Shannon The Dude]

That's what he thought. So, you know. So that guy did have a response. All right, so I shouldn't believe in the Reds, but they're only a game back now. And I came to the realization whether. And the Mets are reeling. They were playing your braves. They were six. Nothing last night. Ended up losing 11.

[Ryan Lemond]

Six on TV too.

[Shannon The Dude]

You're very welcome. I watch. Thank you for that. They play again tonight. Reds are off, so we're going to need you to do it again. But. But this is what I've realized more than even believing in them. I think they are quickly becoming my third favorite team of my non Kentucky sports lifetime. Okay. So Kentucky Sports, if you were to rank my favorite teams, probably take up the top 30 positions. And I mean like by year, right? So like you could say my favorite teams have been the 92 Kentucky team, the 2010 Kentucky team, the 2015, 2003. Those are kind of the four for me that always. And then I liked the. So 92, 92 will always be 1. 2010 will always be 2 12.

[Ryan Lemond]

You were on the floor when the confetti was falling.

[Shannon The Dude]

It was hard to. 96 is great. 15 is great. Oh three bogans and those guys I loved. But so if you're going to have. And then there's football, right. There's the 2007 team with Stevie got loose and all that. They're going to take my top 30. But when you get to non Kentucky teams, it's the 85 bears. Cause it's the first thing I remember as a kid was watching. We didn't come here to Feathers ruffle. We just came to do the super bowl shuffle. Right. Then probably second is the Braves teams of my youth. The. The. You know, Sid Bream Francisco. 92, 92.

[Ryan Lemond]

Winning all the.

[Shannon The Dude]

I mean I just. I. You're a kid, right? You get that excited, etc. This is now number three. I think the Carolina Hurricanes have had a couple that were there, but this is now number three. And I think it's. I like all of the guy. I have nicknames for them. What we know.

[Ryan Lemond]

We hear some of them.

[Shannon The Dude]

I mean first of all, Ellie. Ellie's my favorite athlete. Non Kentucky, since Walter Payton.

[Ryan Lemond]

It's a big accomplishment for him.

[Shannon The Dude]

Now he. What's, what's wrong with it? He's fun. He hits, he runs, he fields, he gets in young.

[Ryan Lemond]

He's the future.

[Mario]

He's young, gets in rundowns.

[Shannon The Dude]

He has a song. Ellie De La Cruz. He has that song.

[Ryan Lemond]

He gets Cotton pickles.

[Shannon The Dude]

Okay, nobody needs to talk about your strikeouts. Striking out is okay? Like, no, we can't be perfect in this world, Shannon. I think we need to accept people for their failures. Years. I I. And then there's very few people I hate on the team. They got rid of Connor.

[Ryan Lemond]

That's rare. You usually despise about two or three.

[Shannon The Dude]

Not a huge Espinal guy. Not a huge Ashcraft guy. But you know what? If they were here, Shannon, I'd be nice to him. I wouldn't cuss them out.

[Mario]

Isn't there a guy named Scuzz or something on the team?

[Shannon The Dude]

I love the Scuzz book.

[Mario]

Yeah.

[Shannon The Dude]

Okay. Scott Barlow. He looks like he, you know, he looks like he's been hanging out in the backstage of a metal show at Manchester Music Hall. My friends and I have created a whole alter ego life for Scott Barlow. Look him up on Wikipedia. First of all, everybody should look up Scott Barlow just to see what he looks like. Just look at it on Wikipedia and I can't prove this. It says, and I'm assuming it's true, and nobody needs to correct me that he lives in a camper van during the season. Okay, I see it.

[Ryan Lemond]

It wouldn't be on Wikipedia.

[Shannon The Dude]

It says he lives in a camper van in Cincinnati during the season. Come on. How can you not like the Scuzz bucket out there? He lives in a camper. This is a Major League baseball player and he's living in a camper van down by the river.

[Mario]

You don't believe that, do you?

[Shannon The Dude]

I believe. Why would it be on Wikipedia if it wasn't true?

[Ryan Lemond]

I'm looking at it.

[Shannon The Dude]

He lives on a boat, does it not?

[Ryan Lemond]

Cribs episode on YouTube.

[Shannon The Dude]

He has a Cribs episode on YouTube.

[Ryan Lemond]

It's when he was with the Royals, but I assume it's the same camper.

[Shannon The Dude]

You're telling me there's a tour of.

[Ryan Lemond]

His camper van on mlb.com Here it is.

[Mario]

Goodbye, everybody.

[Shannon The Dude]

Now I know, Mario. What I'm watching after the show. I'm watching Scott Barlow. He missed part of the season to fly to New Mexico to watch his baby be born with his wife. Why are they getting born In New Mexico, who knows? Probably because they live out in the desert and that's where they want to go.

[Ryan Lemond]

How about his wife living in the camper? She lives there too. During the season. She's not even pitching on the team.

[Mario]

I'm watching the video right now.

[Shannon The Dude]

So my friends and I have created this whole alter ego about him. Like we were in Pittsburgh, we said he had to leave the game early because he was going to float on a log back to Cincinnati. He didn't even take the team play.

[Mario]

He's got his dogs there with them. I mean, it's a nice camper van, I will say.

[Shannon The Dude]

Is it a nice camper van?

[Mario]

Nice, yeah.

[Shannon The Dude]

Okay, so that he's on the team. You got little Spencer Steer. He's just a widow. And then he hits the ball really far.

[Ryan Lemond]

Sure, he loves that.

[Shannon The Dude]

He does. And then we got new guys. We got a guy named Key. Brian.

[Ryan Lemond]

He's been good.

[Shannon The Dude]

Not just Brian. Brian.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yep. Has he hitting well, though?

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, so far.

[Ryan Lemond]

I knew when you, when you got him, that was the question.

[Shannon The Dude]

And then you got the pitchers. Hunter Green, Nick lodolo, Andrew Abbott. You got the Chase Burns. So I, I, it's fun. This is what I like about it, Drew. It's fun to be joyous about a sports team and not just be nervous all the time like they won last night. It's just fun. Kentucky, there's so much stress when they play. For me, I'm thinking, oh, what if we lose? What am I going to say on the post game show? What are we going to do on the bar? Oh, can I be critical? Am I going to be too critical? I have to do all that with this? I can just scream out Scuzz Bucket and everything is, is exciting.

[Ryan Lemond]

I see the brewers are in your.

[Shannon The Dude]

Way to play the best team. We play. Okay, so we play the best team in baseball this weekend. They have owned. Since I've had season tickets, I don't think we've beaten the brewers one game ever. I've watched them every. I've probably seen them beat the Reds 15 times. So I'm going to assume we're going to lose this weekend. But if we win, think about how exciting that is.

[Ryan Lemond]

Oddly, though, on a 12 game win streak, I start playing odds. It's got to end sometime.

[Shannon The Dude]

Let's talk about that 12 game win streak because this is kind of interesting. Shannon, there's a burger place in Milwaukee. Did you read about this?

[Mario]

No, I haven't seen this.

[Shannon The Dude]

So there's a burger place in Milwaukee called like Milwaukee Burgers. It's got a name, and they have, since 1913, had a promotion that if the brewers won 12 straight, everyone in Milwaukee gets a free hamburger. Oh, wow. Okay. It's only happened once, like, 1977, and they gave away 170,000 hamburger. So last night, the brewers had to win for everyone in the Milwaukee to get hamburger. The Milwaukee players said they were genuinely nervous about the game, that everywhere they went, people were like, I want my burger. Don't screw up. And they went out and they won. And so now, Mo. Everyone who lives in Milwaukee gets a free hamburger. Now, the restaurant said, this is going to take a little while to plan. How many hamburgers do you think we'll end up getting eaten knowing that in 1973, or whatever it was? 170,000.

[Ryan Lemond]

They're getting thousands, and they got to lean into it.

[Shannon The Dude]

They're getting more than thousands.

[Ryan Lemond]

I get. I'm getting sponsors. I have an event. I mean, I've got signage on the side of my building from the local bank. I'm turning this into the biggest thing I can. I'll say 30,000 burgers.

[Mario]

No, I'm going.

[Shannon The Dude]

They're going to. If they got 170,000 in 73, this is going to be.

[Ryan Lemond]

Oh, I glossed over that. I'm just trying to think how many you could possibly make in a small store in. Well, I don't.

[Shannon The Dude]

I don't. First of all, I don't know how long they have. But, Shannon, I'm thinking more like in today's world, where everyone will know. You know, it's hard to get people to know probably back then.

[Mario]

So the population of Milwaukee is a little over half a million. Okay, so start there.

[Shannon The Dude]

But I bet the metro area is bigger than that. But go ahead.

[Mario]

I'm going to say around half of Milwaukee, maybe a little less. Maybe a little bit less than half of Milwaukee.

[Shannon The Dude]

We'll.

[Mario]

We'll go and get. So I'm going to say, like, 240 something.

[Shannon The Dude]

200. I'm with you. This is a 240 to $250,000 bargain burger promotion.

[Ryan Lemond]

I'm looking at them. They're in a little shopping center. They're in a shopping center, not a big place.

[Shannon The Dude]

So I don't even know. Think you imagine the lines for that. But for a burger, let's just say they. 250,000 burgers, that's going to cost them a half million dollars.

[Mario]

Going to cost you half a day to get it, too. I think I'd rather go spend four or five dollars.

[Shannon The Dude]

Well, they said they'll do it over a period of time. I don't know how you prove that. Everybody just gets one burger. Like, I don't know how it works.

[Mario]

Yeah.

[Shannon The Dude]

I don't think it's going to be made to order.

[Ryan Lemond]

I think you. I think you do one day and flip as many as you can.

[Shannon The Dude]

You're just going to throw them at people wherever they are.

[Mario]

But he was throwing toilet paper at people, you know.

[Shannon The Dude]

Exactly right. Except you're going to hit people in the head with a hamburger. So they're going to come and they're going to get that. So I think that's a cool promotion. But they play the brewers this weekend. I'm just going in and tell you. I think they probably get swept. But if we win two of three on Monday, you're going to hear like. Like, I'm going to start to completely.

[Ryan Lemond]

Believe you're not getting swept. It's like roulette when you walk up.

[Shannon The Dude]

And all of them are red.

[Ryan Lemond]

At some point, a black's going to hit. They're not going to win 15 in a row.

[Shannon The Dude]

Evan's been swept all year. The only team in baseball has not been swept all year. Just for the rest.

[Mario]

Well, to get a loss coming to Drew's point, then at some point, you are going to get swept, because at some point it's going to happen.

[Shannon The Dude]

I don't need that negativity on my team.

[Mario]

I'm not.

[Shannon The Dude]

But, like, Shannon, I mean, I know every. Like, I don't know. I know more players on the Reds, and I do UK football, if I'm being honest with you. Like, I know the whole roster. I even know the Triple A team.

[Ryan Lemond]

You know that they live in vans.

[Shannon The Dude]

I know they live it. Yes. The bats. That's a reloaded right now with players. I. I don't recognize myself as to how into baseball I am. It's. I don't. It's not so much a baseball. I'm a Reds fan. I still don't know who's on the other team, but the Reds play baseball. So you're like, somebody asked me who they're playing. The Brewers. Who's on the Brewers? I don't know one person on the Brewers. Robin Yont, Paul Molitor. I think that's really. That's all Craig Counsel.

[Mario]

You don't know player on the Nichols basketball team either, but you're still a Kentucky basketball fan.

[Shannon The Dude]

That's true. And I say to Nichols, same thing. Say to Nichols State, eat it. And I'm now as Red tastic as you could be 859 at least until Monday when I'll be summer belly be over again 859-280-2287 Text machine is 772-77-4525 Would you go get the free burger by the way? Would you go fight the masses to get it?

[Mario]

Depends on how long it's going to take. If I can do it quickly, yes. If I got to stand in line for longer than 20 minutes I would.

[Shannon The Dude]

Love though to do a sports show in Milwaukee and be like out front.

[Mario]

Oh just set up right there and.

[Shannon The Dude]

Set up right there and why I mean it would be. That would be an unbelievable thing to watch happen, don't you think?

[Ryan Lemond]

Oh yeah. But as far as getting line I'll just buy the burger the next day for normal price.

[Shannon The Dude]

We'll take a break. Be right back.

[Matt Jones]

[Shannon The Dude]

Welcome back, techie Sports Radio. One person writes on the text machine. 772-774-5254. With Ryan gone is Drew. Plain Ryan. How did he say 30,000 burgers? I know how you. I know how you know.

[Ryan Lemond]

This is very you.

[Shannon The Dude]

You were on your little message thread. That's what happened. You didn't hear me say, hold on.

[Ryan Lemond]

Let me defend myself. No, there's several locations doing 100,000. I bet one store is not doing more than 30.

[Shannon The Dude]

You didn't hear me. He didn't. He didn't hear me say, let me defend myself. No, no, no, he didn't.

[Ryan Lemond]

I did. Absolutely. But you did not say there are several locations. One shopping store cannot make more than 30,000 a day.

[Shannon The Dude]

He didn't hear it. He glossed. He said he glossed over.

[Ryan Lemond]

I am standing.

[Shannon The Dude]

No, my prediction.

[Ryan Lemond]

Let me defend my damn prediction once. One storm cannot make more than 30,000. There are several stores involved making 100,000. Mine is even high. Thank you.

[Shannon The Dude]

He glossed over. Apparently they're not just giving it to everybody in Milwaukee, they're giving it to everyone in Wisconsin.

[Ryan Lemond]

If I had had that detail, I would not have said 30,000. I thought one grill and one shot.

[Shannon The Dude]

But see, if he had heard me say 170,000 earlier. What's the population of Wisconsin? That's millions of people, right?

[Mario]

Gotta be. Yeah. 5.8 million.

[Shannon The Dude]

5.8 million burgers.

[Mario]

How are you?

[Ryan Lemond]

That's.

[Mario]

There's no way. There's no way.

[Ryan Lemond]

It says they're preparing for a hundred thousand. So again, you all have extremely, extremely high predictions for one location.

[Shannon The Dude]

Did 170 last time. I'm just telling you, if they did five point. If they have 5.8 million people shared in and they're only planning for 100,000.

[Mario]

Trouble.

[Shannon The Dude]

They are in trouble.

[Mario]

Yeah. I mean, that's going to be a promotion.

[Ryan Lemond]

Where do you think they're going to make these burgers?

[Shannon The Dude]

Oh, they're going to make them everywhere. They're going to make. This is going to be very, very.

[Ryan Lemond]

Have a burger printer.

[Shannon The Dude]

What? First writes Matt, the show that Shannon is feuding with, talked more about him yesterday again. Said that he could kiss. They could kiss his. His ass.

[Mario]

I think he just wants me to do that.

[Shannon The Dude]

He does.

[Mario]

I think he's got like, you know.

[Shannon The Dude]

Here'S what I learned yesterday. Okay. I knew, I knew that the cut man would do the. What the cut man does. He's getting some attention. I'm fine with that. You know what? He's 93 years old. I'm glad for him. No, I'm glad he's a, he's a legend in Kentucky sports. I'm glad for him to get some attention. Here's what I've learned though. Twitter. If you put my name or KSR into your tweet, I think the algorithm boosts it because these random accounts will mention us and then all of a sudden they'll have like 300 likes. And so, like that's, you know, that's just what happens. And so they're gonna. So I understand why people do it. I also think it's funny though. Like he zooms in on you, Shannon. Normally I'm the controversial.

[Mario]

Right? Yeah.

[Shannon The Dude]

Or Ryan. People make fun of him. This is all Shannon. This is 93 year old Cutler versus STD. And I love it. I want, I want that in the steel cage.

[Mario]

It's been the best week for his show since its existence. People actually know it exists now. It's awareness. Like we're bringing awareness to it.

[Shannon The Dude]

We are.

[Ryan Lemond]

That's what fires him up. It's the. No one listens that, Shannon. That's the night.

[Mario]

Sometimes the truth makes you mad.

[Shannon The Dude]

It clearly makes him mad when you say that.

[Mario]

Yeah.

[Shannon The Dude]

And I, and I get.

[Mario]

Then.

[Shannon The Dude]

Did you watch what person writes a text machine? Ask anything Thursday. Did you. Were any of you part of the 1.4 million people that watch the Taylor Swift podcast live? It's the second most watched live podcast of all time. I looked this morning. It has 9.8 million people have already watched it. The record of all time for podcasts is 144 million. And it's a Saudi Arabian love podcast. I'm not kidding you. We thought it was Cat Williams, Shannon Sharp. Or Joe Rogan, Donald Trump. It is a south or excuse me, Saudi Arabian Love Podcast where a Saudi Arabian guy tells men how to love their wives. I'm not kidding you. That is the Most watched podcast. 144 million. Cat Williams is second with. With Stage tarpon. That's like 75. So it's like double the highest one. So my prediction was all said and done. They will pass Shannon Sharp and Cat Williams. I don't think they're going to catch the Saudi Arabian Love Podcast because there's so many people that live in the rest of the world. We forget the rest of the world's pretty big Drew. Right? And we just think it's all America 100. When I heard 144 million people watch the Saudi Arabian Love Podcast. First of all, I want to see the Saudi Arabia. What are we doing here? But are you surprised by that?

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, I had them shattering Cat Williams record. I didn't know about this.

[Shannon The Dude]

They're not going to catch. They're not going to catch the Saudi Love shack.

[Ryan Lemond]

I wasn't part of the 1.3 million. I got on before it got to 1.3 million. I was part of like the 900,000. So I watched the whole podcast.

[Shannon The Dude]

It was long. It was.

[Mario]

I was wondering if it was gonna talk about.

[Shannon The Dude]

They talk a lot about her music and I had it on while I was doing.

[Ryan Lemond]

I was in it for Jason Kelsey.

[Shannon The Dude]

He was nice though. Like, they seem like I've. Kelsey's. I was completely wrong about. I thought, especially Travis. I thought he was a complete dole, seemed like a goober. And I actually think they seem like pretty good dudes, to be honest with you. And I think they'd be fun to hang out with.

[Ryan Lemond]

My favorite part was just Jason butting in with the dumbest questions or stories. Like at the Bills game, he just took a baby and brought it suite to meet Taylor and they're like, whose baby is that? He's like, I don't know. I just grabbed it on the way over.

[Shannon The Dude]

But. But it was good. But they're not going to. They're not going to catch the Saudi Love podcast. They're not. Let's go to Trevor. Go ahead, Trevor.

[Caller]

Hey, Matt. All the talk about JMI yesterday got me thinking. I'm a huge UFC fan and they just signed a multi billion dollar, multi year new TV deal. But they also just went through a big antitrust monopoly lawsuit. Has there ever been anything filed or do you foresee now that there so much money moving around the NCAA of the NCAA potentially going through something like that, like a monopoly.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, they. They've. They have been accused of being a monopoly before, and they won the lawsuit. Uh, I think it was kind of a. I think it was an odd decision. Basically, the court said, well, you can go play in a. I. They said that was the competition, which is not really true, but I think they've survived the monopoly lawsuits before. By the way, it was interesting. I. The JMI contract came out and it's actually not as big a raise in money as I thought, or as any of us thought. It's not the 15 years, $465 million includes the nine years that was already signed and the money that was. So it's really only extended the deal for six years. So it's 15. And it's not $465 million just for the 15 years. It's 465 million for the total of the contract going back to 2015. So as I understand it, our money went up from 14 million a year to like 19 million a year, which is more. But it's not what I thought it was, which was 31 million a year.

[Ryan Lemond]

And in 15 years, that's not going.

[Shannon The Dude]

To be what it is, the same amount of money. So it was interesting. If you go read the wording of the press release, it's worded to kind of mislead you a little bit about how much money it is. But, you know, it is more money than it was by decent amount. But it's not only. It's as much as we thought it was when we said it the first time.

[Ryan Lemond]

So we just need him to get players.

[Shannon The Dude]

8592802. Yeah, as long as you get the players, none of it matters. 859-280-2287. Be right back. TJ Smith, personal injury attorney.

[Drew Franklin]

Call TJ.

[Shannon The Dude]

He'll make him pay.

[Mario]

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

[Shannon The Dude]

She also said that Shannon, that she didn't understand the rules of football and that she thought all the players played against each other. So I guess Travis Kelsey introduced her to Jared Goff and Josh Allen. And she thought, Shannon, that they play to get like they hit each other, even though they're both quarterbacks.

[Mario]

Yeah.

[Shannon The Dude]

And she said, I wondered who would win. And then, like, that's obviously not what happens. I do think there's a lot of women, though, that are like that. I appreciate that she admits it.

[Mario]

Yeah.

[Shannon The Dude]

I mean, one of my ex girlfriends knew literally nothing about sports when I started Dating her said when we started was like, why do they stop in football? She was like, why do they stop? And I said, what do you mean? And she's like, they run for a little bit and then they stop. Everybody falls down and gets up. And if you don't know the rules, you can see how it looks like that, Shannon. Right? They just stop.

[Mario]

Yeah. If you don't understand that when somebody gets tackled, the play is over and you reset, you may ask that, but I would think that, you know, he would explain it to her.

[Shannon The Dude]

She says she knows now.

[Mario]

Okay.

[Shannon The Dude]

She says she. She even mentioned the name of our podcast, Cover Zero Is one of the things that she. One of the things that she knew.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. She's talking about how she's so into it now that when they draft Xavier Worthy, she's like texting her group chat. We got Xavier Worthy. And they're like, Tyler, what are you talking?

[Shannon The Dude]

Like, how did you know who Xavier wore? All right, we got some breaking news. Oh, Ronnie. Nana. All right, so this is. This is someone writing me, telling me what Mark Pope said in an interview with Matt Norland. So to be fair, I have not heard this interview. And 606465 is giving these facts. So I'm gonna assume 606465 is saying the right thing. Cause I. The interview just came out like a couple hours ago. But if they're not, it's not my fault. 606465 here's what. 6064656. Mark Pope did an hour long interview with Matt Norlander on YouTube. Here were some of the highlights. Yellow Vich will be on campus by tomorrow.

[Mario]

I believe that.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yep.

[Shannon The Dude]

That's kind of been hinted in other places. Jaden Quitens failed his driver's test.

[Mario]

Believe that too. But it's unfortunate.

[Shannon The Dude]

Mario's laughing. I mean, we saw him. We saw the video.

[Mario]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

There were reports that he didn't take it.

[Shannon The Dude]

Jay, this is 606465. Says he failed his driver's test.

[Ryan Lemond]

Jack had a good source that said he just wasn't able to take it yet. So maybe Pope's throwing him under the bus.

[Shannon The Dude]

Maybe Pope is throwing him under the bus. He. This says Norlander said in the interview that Kentucky lost one player in the portal class because they got out spent. That is definitely true on one. I think it might be true on two, but they definitely got outspent on the kid that went to Indiana.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, that was the one where Ryan was so confident. And as much as we like to make fun of Ryan, Indiana did come through at the last minute and take that one. Might even hired his assistant or his coach as an assistant at one point. That was an option.

[Shannon The Dude]

I think they also, Donovan, Dan, the kid that went to New Mexico, I don't know if they got outspent, but they were surprised. He, he committed to Kentucky and then ended up going to ucla. I think the UK people found out when the announcement came out and so they were a little surprised. And then finally a Hawthorne is red shirt. Is that. I didn't know that.

[Ryan Lemond]

I didn't know people red shirted anymore, to be honest. That's a guy that would be good for him. I don't expect to.

[Shannon The Dude]

Again, this is not me saying it's 606465, but is that, is that possible? I mean, I guess it's possible. If yellow bitch gets here, you got 13 guys.

[Ryan Lemond]

I mean, it'd be good for him. He's. He's very thin right now. Even though he's looked a little flashy in some of the summer videos. I don't know if he's quite ready for this level. So, I mean, like I said, I didn't know people still red shirted. But yeah, if there's a guy to do it, it's him. He's. He's a long term project.

[Shannon The Dude]

So. Yeah. So Those are the 606465 notes about the Mark Pope interview with Matt Norlander. I'm sure within the next few minutes people will have checked and will, will confirm or deny those comments.

[Ryan Lemond]

So yellow, which is exciting.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I, I'm glad he's just.

[Ryan Lemond]

To be done with it. Anyone still had concerns.

[Shannon The Dude]

He's here.

[Mario]

He's here. But does that mean he's good to go or.

[Shannon The Dude]

I think he wouldn't come over here unless.

[Mario]

Okay.

[Shannon The Dude]

Although Ennis did, but that was a long time ago.

[Mario]

Yeah.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, we'll see. James. Go ahead, James.

[Caller]

Hey, guys. How y' all doing today?

[Shannon The Dude]

Doing good.

[Caller]

So my question to you all is, it's about the Champions Classic. It actually falls on my birthday this year and I've made the decision to spend a good chunk of change for tickets. Okay, so do you all know, do y' all have like a ballpark for how much like good to great seats go for.

[Shannon The Dude]

At the Champions Classic? So that's in the garden, right?

[Caller]

Yes, sir.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah. You know, they're not as bad as you would think. I mean, you're picking New York, so it'll be the most expensive one that they'll, they'll do of it. But I would say if you just want to get in the building, they won't be too bad. If you want to sit down low, it's New York City. Duke is playing there. Duke has a ton of grads there. So I think it's going to be expensive. I would guess, Drew, this is just a gas. Four to six hundred dollars a ticket. Down low for a good one.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. Right Now I'm on StubHub. Upper levels are about 2:50.

[Shannon The Dude]

That'll go down though. That, that, that'll go down.

[Ryan Lemond]

My best advice would be your hotel is going to be a surprisingly more than.

[Shannon The Dude]

Let me tell you something. As somebody who goes a lot. Here's your choices on hotel. If you want to stay. This is my Matt Jones hotel advice. There are. You can stay in Times Square at hotels that will disappoint you for an okay price. But if you want to have a nice place, just go out to the edges of the city and stay like in, in Queens or in Brooklyn or something like that. When you try to get a nice hotel in Manhattan, like just forget it. I mean, don't you agree with that?

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, this is a little, I don't know how Christmasy they are on November 18th. I've already, I've already looked for this event and I mean they are outrageous even by New York standards. So wish you well on the ticket, but be careful with that hotel.

[Shannon The Dude]

It's going to sneak up on you. Book the hotel before the ticket because the hotel will rise exponentially in price. The tickets will probably stay very similar to what they are now.

[Caller]

Okay. See my mother in law lives right outside the Bronx, so I don't even.

[Shannon The Dude]

Have to worry about that. Yeah, then, then, then splurge on the ticket. I'm going to say if you. Five to six hundred dollars. That's what I'm going to get. Just my guess. Appreciate the call. Bob in Jamestown. Go for it.

[Caller]

Matt, what do you think about this cashless entertainment policies now it's anymore when you want to go out to any sporting events, music, whatever, and it's all cashless. Credit card on me.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, I mean I get it. I think it's. I understand why people want to do it. I appreciate the call. You don't have to deal with cash. If you don't have to deal with cash as a business owner, then you don't. It's harder for people to steal. So I think that's part of it. Your employees, it's much harder to steal. So I think that's why a lot of people want it. You do have to, though, like in New York, it's illegal to not take cash because it discriminates against people who don't have the money for a credit card. Right. So if you're poor, you might not be able to get a credit card. You might not be able to get a bank debit card that gives you access. So like in New York, it's actually illegal not to take cash. I don't know if that's true in Kentucky. I think in Kentucky, if somebody doesn't want to take cash, I mean, Rupp arena is cashless. Yeah. So. So I, I used to think everything should be cashless. And then I thought about what it would be like to live if you couldn't. Didn't have access to a card. And I think that is kind of discriminatory to not give people the ability to do cash. The other thing is, do we want to make it in America where every financial transaction goes through one of like three companies, you know what I mean? Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and I guess what, Discover or something you want to make it to where every single financial transaction we do, four companies get to take a share of Shannon. That doesn't seem a hundred percent. Right, you know.

[Ryan Lemond]

Right.

[Mario]

Yeah. Yeah. I think maybe it's just quicker too for a lot of these places to be able to scan a card and move on.

[Shannon The Dude]

It is. But if you were mayor, would you say that places should have to take cash? Yeah.

[Mario]

For the reason that you just laid out there. Like, not everybody. We think that everybody has cards, but not everybody does. There are some people who don't have cards and still only carry cash. Now, that might be a very, very small percentage, but those people do still exist who don't have cards. And what about them?

[Ryan Lemond]

You gotta think about it quicker right now until you're behind the person that didn't know it's cashless and they're like, well, how do I. And that.

[Shannon The Dude]

That think about people that get paid. There are people that get paid in cash. Yeah, what about them? Okay, what about the strippers?

[Mario]

That's right.

[Shannon The Dude]

That.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, what about them?

[Mario]

Look at my Matt standing up for the strippers.

[Shannon The Dude]

But I mean, there's a lot of people that get paid in cash and there's a lot in there.

[Ryan Lemond]

It's like wait tables. When you leave, your pockets are full of cash.

[Shannon The Dude]

It's a hidden pocke part of society, unfortunately. But like, you can't just exclude those people from the economy. So, like when Rupp arena did that, to be fair, probably people that go to RUP would have cards, et cetera. But I'm sure there are people that go to Rupp arena that for whatever reason only have cash on them and it's, you know. So I understand why people want to do it, but I actually think it's a bad policy. It's like a lot of policies. It forgets the poor and eventually people.

[Ryan Lemond]

Get used to it. But older people right now, I mean I've seen all the time at rope. I know people, they're shocked when you say card only there. It's almost like they don't know what to do. Like.

[Shannon The Dude]

Well what do you mean? That's a really good point.

[Ryan Lemond]

You can't take my $20 bill.

[Shannon The Dude]

No, that's a good point. If you're taking my grandmother and if she had lived till now, she wouldn't have known what to do in those scenarios. So yeah I mean still surprises people is that same same with yeah I.

[Mario]

Don'T think my grandfather ever carried a card. It was always cash.

[Shannon The Dude]

So I do think I actually I get why people do it, but I'm actually don't think they should for all y'. All. Now there's some wild myths floating around about UK Federal Credit Union.

[Shannon The Dude]

Welcome back Techie Sports Radio 859-280-2287 Text Machine 772-774-52541 Person Rights Matt My husband's almost 70. He hates electronic money. He only carries cash. I like the phrase I hate electronic money. Although I'm gonna be saying something like that when it comes to like everything being bit bitcoin. I'm like I hate non real money. I finally got. I finally stopped getting a physical check.

[Ryan Lemond]

See, you're part of it.

[Shannon The Dude]

I know, but I liked it. I liked carrying the check to the bank and feeling like I had real money and it was like, when I handed it to him, I was like, okay, I have been paid. Now you just check the. Now you just check the ledger. And you're like, oh, you and I.

[Mario]

Were the last two holdouts that actually still got checks. I like building.

[Shannon The Dude]

If it was up to me, I'd still get it. But they were kind of like, okay, it's time.

[Ryan Lemond]

Never printer anymore.

[Shannon The Dude]

One person said, what about the Amish people? They don't do electronic cards. What they need have to have cash. Very good point. You don't think about. You see, you got to think about all these people, right? And then what if your system goes down?

[Mario]

Oh, nobody gets ice cream.

[Shannon The Dude]

Which happens. That's happened at KS Bar. Your system goes down. Then you got to pull out that old thing that scans your card. I was at a restaurant, just a cut last week, and the thing went down, and they made you put in your number, and then it says, we'll. We'll run it later. And I was a little nervous about that, Shannon. Wow. Like, yeah, like, I mean, what are you gonna do with it now? You're gonna hang out with it for a while.

[Mario]

You could pass that on to anybody, and they could get access to.

[Shannon The Dude]

Well, that brings me to another point I already had written down today, which is Florida. Florida football is doing faceless or face technology this year. You will have the option at Florida of when you buy a ticket, you can turn on a feature where you won't need to have the ticket. You can just scan your face. All right, so, like, clear at the airport, but for tickets, Florida is at this point making it optional. But the maker of the product says they hope to get to a point that all tickets will just be your face. I. This stuff freaks me out. Like, I'm. I'm not against the idea of somebody having my face. But this would make it to where long term, if they made it to where you had to use your face, you couldn't resell your tickets. See, this is where this is going, Shannon. Just. This is where it's going. Going. Universities are going to use this technology, so when you buy the tickets from them, you cannot resell them on a secondary market. In order for somebody else to get them, you'll have to go back through the school and pay a fee again. You. You see what I'm saying?

[Ryan Lemond]

They'll have the resale.

[Shannon The Dude]

They'll have the resale. Have to go through the university or the professional sports team or whatever. But, like, what if you want to give them away?

[Ryan Lemond]

What if you tailgate it too hard and your face doesn't look the same as it did a few hours ago.

[Shannon The Dude]

See, I don't know how facial technology works. If I get beat up, will it still look like me?

[Mario]

Like if Ryan got sucker punched before the South Carolina game instead of after.

[Shannon The Dude]

Ryan's got a swollen eye. Does it go well, this is just Ryan with a swole.

[Ryan Lemond]

What if I'm fired up for the game and I painted my face blue? I got a. I got a big UK on my forehead.

[Shannon The Dude]

You know, I don't on my phone with my face, if I have a hat on, it might not work. If I had. When I got glasses. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. What if you can't get into the game because you, you know, you ate and have a. You got cherubic.

[Ryan Lemond]

Or let's also note they still haven't figured out how to scan tickets. All that. I mean we. How many times we have long lines when a game has started because the scanner was down or the person working couldn't figure it out. Now we're going to go even farther.

[Shannon The Dude]

And I have clear at the airport and there are multiple times they just look at me and go, yeah, just go on.

[Mario]

Well, yeah, that's nice if they do that. But I mean what. What else do you do if you're in that situation? They're making. Well, that's why I don't necessarily more complicated than what it needs to be. You know.

[Shannon The Dude]

The reason you. If you were the New York Knicks, the reason you'd like to do this is you would say why should stub our secondary value. Let's make it to where you have to sell your tickets through us or the face doesn't work. Right. That's why they want to do it. I'm just saying, you know, it'd be interesting to see at Florida when they do that this year. Like will it work?

[Ryan Lemond]

It used to be occasionally Mostly college kids. 8am Tailgate. You go a little too hard, you don't want to go to the game anymore. You want to go nap, you just hand your tickets off. Do we have to pick our buddy up out of his chair and drag him Weekend situation. Just put his face up there so we can go in.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah. Floor. Apparently they're testing it this year with stuff students. Which seems to me to be the worst group to test it with. But that's who they're testing it with. Let's go to Jacob. Go ahead, Jacob.

[Ryan Lemond]

Hey, Matt.

[Caller]

I just wanted to ask a basketball question. I know that last season There was a lot of talk about Mark Pope's team being a three point shooting team and I just wanted to know if there would be like continuation you think in this year's team and then also like who you think will take the most three point attempts and who you think will have the highest three point.

[Shannon The Dude]

We ended up in my opinion last year not shooting as many threes as we should. Appreciate the call both for the way the team was built. We should have shot more. And also he just went away from his philosophy. I actually think this year they might take fewer because we have less shooters on the team. There's no Kobe Bray on this team. Team. Right. So I think we'll take the same or less. I think this team is more of a penetration, get to the rim team. So this may be an evolution in Pope's offensive style.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, we heard all last summer about 1:30 a game and he said it throughout the year and rarely got to that part of it might be how thrown off they were with injuries. You know, you had Jackson Robinson go out. Kurt Cresa would have been good for one or two a game before he got hurt. But looking ahead to this year, I don't know that that 30 number will.

[Shannon The Dude]

Be who takes the most threes. That's a good question. I don't know.

[Ryan Lemond]

I still don't know what Jasper Johnson's going to be with minutes. If he plays a lot of minutes, I would say him, but I don't, I don't know that he's going to play a ton of minutes. I mean he'll play a lot but lead the team in three point shooting.

[Shannon The Dude]

I need to see Jalen Lowe takes the most. He could. I don't know if he's. But I think he takes the most. I would say if you're going to make a bet it's and it's based on minutes. Jalen Lowe takes the most. But as far as the highest percentage, who knows? It'd be Colin Chandler, could be Trent Noah, could be Jasper Johnson, could be Cam Williams.

[Ryan Lemond]

And if it's just minutes, I mean always going to be trying to make them and you know he's playing the most minutes even though he's not considered a shooter. He might have the most attempts.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, that's a really interesting question. In terms of who takes the most. I mean in his mind Brandon Garrison will take the most. He certainly will want to take the most. I there, there's legitimately low, low away. Williams, Aberdeen, Chandler, Noah are six guys. You could at least put odds on the board.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Shannon The Dude]

Of who would take the most.

[Ryan Lemond]

I think my f final answer is going to be oh a just because minutes played and I think he's going to want to show off that he's improved his three. He took over two a game last year. I say takes.

[Shannon The Dude]

I'm going to say low. Who are you going to say? Shannon.

[Mario]

I'll go Jasper Johnson. Just to be a little different.

[Shannon The Dude]

So we got three different answers. Mario, what's yours? No.

[Ryan Lemond]

All right.

[Shannon The Dude]

Well, you're expecting a lot of minutes from Noah if you're going to see.

[Ryan Lemond]

We know he'll shoot it when he's in.

[Shannon The Dude]

So there you go. I mean, I think you could see this will be a lot of different guys going four different answers on this show. We'll come back. Our number two. This is Kentucky Sports.
