Welcome to hour two of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones.
- [02:51]
Shannon The Dude
Welcome back. Hour number two, Kentucky Sports Radio, 859-280-2287. Text machine 772-774-5254 is Ask Anything Thursday. Text machine makes a good point about the credit card thing where you know, if everything that is paid for has to be credit card, you now have a digital record of everything you've ever bought. Are you good with that? Do you want. Which by the way, could be subpoenaed in court. So let me give you an example. This is, this is something that happened when I was a lawyer. So do you know what dram Shop liability is?
- [03:32]
Unknown
No.
- [03:32]
Shannon The Dude
Shane, you know what that is? I don't know. So that is if you go to a bar and you, you get drunk and then you go out and wreck a car on the way home and somebody gets hurt, there are situations where the person that got hurt can sue the bar for overserving you.
- [03:50]
Unknown
Okay.
- [03:51]
Shannon The Dude
Okay. It's called dram shop liability. And in Kentucky, at least when I practiced that was something that, that happened a decent amount. Now I think it happens less. There might have been a change in law. I'm not sure. But, but I'll give. We, we. I had a case once where we were. I've actually had a case on both sides. And one of the issues, the first thing you look at if you're suing is is there an electronic record of how much money they spend at the bar, Shannon? Because if you're by yourself and you go to the bar and there's a record of you spending $250, you're either going to have to prove that you hit on a bunch of women and bought them all drinks. Somebody's going to say to the bar, why did he pay by himself $250 for the thing? Whereas if it was cash, you can't prove that. Right. Then you have to look at things like cameras and all that, but cash in and of itself. I have heard of divorce cases in states where it's not no fault where a purchase of like a purse for $10,000 and then the wife goes, there's this purchase right here at Cartier, $10,000. I never got the purse. Where'd it go? Whereas if it was $10,000 in cash, you'd never know where they spent it. Right. You see what I'm saying? And so those electronic purchases can be used. So I'm just saying that's also for people like you, Shannon, who I would think would be privacy interest.
- [05:26]
Unknown
Right.
- [05:26]
Shannon The Dude
If everything is transaction, it's all in one theory. Subpoena bowl in court one day. Yeah.
- [05:31]
Unknown
I mean, sometimes I'm okay with it being out there digitally every place that I go to, but there's also some things that maybe I wouldn't necessarily want on there. So I think that that's why it's important to keep cash around. I think eventually it's going to be phased out to where everything is just electronically.
- [05:48]
Shannon The Dude
No, it is. That's probably what's going to. What's going to happen. All right, let's talk football for a second here, Drew. Before we go, the phones, a couple open lines. 859-280-2287. The CBS or excuse me, the Athletic. Bruce Feldman did a How hot are coaches seats around the country? And they would say cool to scalding. Okay, so, you know, for example, the guy that coaches Ohio State is cool now, whereas other people could be scalding. Here's what he said about Mark Stoops. He said Mark Stoops is hot or seat is warm, but not especially so. Would you agree with that assessment?
- [06:32]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, I think I would. I wouldn't put it at scalding hot, but I think warm is fair. Stoops is a, is a popular. You know, lots of these outlets are doing their hot seats. He's, he's popular on these lists. Just like Toledo's hot on a team to pick in week one as an underdog. It's just something Kentucky fans are going to have to deal with in this preseason as all these previews are coming out. We're. We're a hot topic to be a bust. It's an easy pick for a lot.
- [06:57]
Unknown
Of people out there.
- [06:58]
Shannon The Dude
I agree with the warm. I don't agree with the. But not especially so. I mean, I think if the scale is cold to scalding, he's definitely warm. I wouldn't say he's hot, but, like, I don't think it's lukewarm. I think it's definitely warm. I think if he gets four, three, four wins, it's going to be, it's going to be very uncomfortable.
- [07:23]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, I think it's warm, but when I think of a hot seat, I'm looking at a coach where the AD is standing right behind him, staring at him, knowing that they're, they're ready to make that if they have to. And I've just never gotten that from Barnhart. So I feel it's definitely warm. Not denying that, but getting too Hot. I haven't seen anything from Barnhart that's putting pressure.
- [07:39]
Shannon The Dude
Would you say that with the, with the, with Mitch Barnhart, it's lukewarm, but with the fan base, it's hot.
- [07:49]
Drew Franklin
That's a different conversation. It's very hot with the fans. But as far as actually getting something done, Barnhart, he's also calling it a one year off, one year blip. Whatever the terminology they've been using. I've never felt in these interviews we've gotten him recently that he has stoops on a hot seat.
- [08:02]
Shannon The Dude
If you agree with that. Yeah.
- [08:04]
Unknown
Hot with the fans for sure. I would say warm with Barnhart and I would say check back with me in about 17 days. Let's see what happens after that.
- [08:13]
Shannon The Dude
August 31, that's going to be the.
- [08:17]
Unknown
The first measuring stick that we have to see kind of what we got this year.
- [08:20]
Shannon The Dude
I mean, if you want to talk about Matt, when I was saying earlier about the Reds, how I don't get nervous and, and I just kind of are able to watch the game, come see me at 2:45 on Saturday, August 30th, because if it's a. Kentucky is up three, Toledo has the ball with two and a half minutes left. I'm going to be pacing around because I'm going to be sitting there thinking what do I do just across the board if it doesn't work out? So, yeah, I mean, it's. That is definitely a. Talk to me again the afternoon of August 30th.
- [08:58]
Drew Franklin
I hate that opener. I think they're going to win. I even think they're going to surprise people in that game. But that's not a team you want to start with. I wish we had flipped like an Eastern Michigan or Tennessee because, I mean.
- [09:08]
Shannon The Dude
They are Eastern Michigan and then play Toledo in that third game.
- [09:12]
Drew Franklin
I mean, Toledo got preseason top 25 votes. They're picked to maybe even be a power four playoff team. I mean, they're in one of the toughest.
- [09:20]
Shannon The Dude
They're picked to be a powerful.
- [09:21]
Drew Franklin
They're in that conversation. But I mean, the Mac is always one of the better conferences outside the Power four. So they're a very trendy team right now going into that week one game.
- [09:32]
Shannon The Dude
Rather see someone else.
- [09:33]
Unknown
Eight and a half.
- [09:35]
Shannon The Dude
I mean, that has fallen from 14 and a half to eight and a half.
- [09:39]
Unknown
Yep.
- [09:40]
Shannon The Dude
A lot of times you open follow.
- [09:41]
Drew Franklin
A lot of times you open the year and you're 21 and a half, 24 and a half. You know, eight and a half. It's a Little unsettling as you get excited about the season.
- [09:48]
Unknown
A lot of people who don't believe in Kentucky are going to lose some money. That's what I think. Kentucky's gonna come out. They're gonna win.
- [09:54]
They're gonna.
- [09:55]
Shannon The Dude
All right, let's go to Glenn in Pennsylvania. Go ahead. Oh, one more thing before I go to Glenn. Hang on just a second, Glenn. I'll come right back to you. The picture of the two guys jumping just will not, it's not going away, and it's, like, only getting more viral. And it's like everyone in the country is discovering it now. One of the players was asked about it, and he, he didn't like it, understandably. He. Even somebody said, he then said something like, I saw what KSR said, you know, I mean, I never want to be like, I never want to be against the player ever. And I'm not against him. I'm sure he's, I'm like, I'm sure he's a great dude. I'm going to be cheering him on every time. But, like, my answer would be, dude, you, you, you put it. I mean, I didn't put it.
- [10:46]
Unknown
And he said it was to have fun, so it suggests that it was his idea.
- [10:50]
Shannon The Dude
Yeah, he said it was to have fun. And, like, I hope you did have fun. Right. I mean, I'm not, but, you know, I'm not the, I mean, the thing has gone viral outside of me, so, you know, we're going to have to go and, and outplay that, because for a lot of people going in the season, that picture, that video is kind of the preseason preview for Kentucky. Yeah.
- [11:14]
Drew Franklin
I love that he has a fun personality, and that probably was funny, but I think the awareness was low of how that would be responded outside of your circle of friends. I have, unfortunately, several friends that, like the Tennessee Vols and I mean, they are just lighting me up with that already mocking the season to come. And I'm sure there are plenty of people listening who have friends of other schools, Louisville, you name it. It is being sent to them saying, it looks like it's going to be a fun year for Kentucky football.
- [11:41]
Shannon The Dude
We have to be honest, we would do the same thing about other schools. Oh, right. I mean, think about what I said about the Louisville preseason picture. Right. I mean, I, I, I made fun of it because it was ridiculous so that they're going to do the same thing to us. It's just reality, so.
- [11:58]
Drew Franklin
And if the year doesn't go well, it's going to be thrown right back at the entire team's face at that point.
- [12:04]
Shannon The Dude
Now, if I was that good, I'd go eat it. And the next, and when I make the first play on the field, I would jump like that.
- [12:11]
Unknown
Yeah, go find your team.
- [12:14]
Shannon The Dude
That's what I would say. That's what I would say to the kid. Hey, man, have fun with it. Like you had fun doing it. Now make a tackle and jump like that and then recreate it in the end zone. I'm good with it. I think that would actually be really funny. It's kind of like the motivated Mark Stoops thing. Don't get upset about it. Own it. You know what I mean? Own it. Same thing with this, because they. He seems like a fun loving dude. I just was saying, like, I've never seen one jump like that. It was just an interesting decision to put as a picture.
- [12:44]
Drew Franklin
I would love nothing more than early in that Toledo game, he knocks someone's helmet off and gets up and turns and holds hands with the linebacker and recreates it. It'd be a little silly, but I think it's his best move at this point.
- [12:54]
Shannon The Dude
Shannon and I will recreate it tomorrow at the state fair.
- [12:57]
Unknown
Yeah, we can do it.
- [12:58]
Shannon The Dude
We will recreate it since Billy's two.
- [13:00]
Unknown
Chicken worth the price of admission.
- [13:02]
Shannon The Dude
Right standing. And I, tomorrow at the state fair, will recreate the picture. Mario, you cannot put it on social media because I've learned the understatement. But we will do it there. All right, Glenn in Pennsylvania, go ahead.
- [13:16]
Unknown
Hey, guys. First off, I'm no longer in Pennsylvania. Moved back to Kentucky two weeks ago, and I'm feeling so much better.
- [13:25]
Shannon The Dude
Well, congratulations.
- [13:26]
Unknown
Secondly. Thank you. Thank you. Good, Good to be back in the Bluegrass State. Secondly, on this JMI thing, what happens to our big money donors now, or what happens to that money, so to speak, is that.
- [13:43]
Shannon The Dude
Well, I mean, their money, their money will now flow through jmi. So like a lot of our donors, most of our donors don't just. Well, especially the big ones, they don't just hand a check. Now, they might hand a check to the university, but when it comes to the donors doing something with players, they usually filter it through a business. That would then be. Because you can't just pay them. It had to go through a collective or a business. Now they'll just take their business through jmi. It's almost like a JMI credit card fee probably, and that'll be what it is. So I don't. I don't expect the people that donate a lot of money. I Don't expect it to change how they do business.
- [14:25]
Unknown
So is that going to be part of whatever that dollar figure, 700 or whatever hundreds, millions that was?
- [14:33]
Shannon The Dude
Yeah, I think it would. I mean, I think when you get to that $465 million, you know, the good part of that deal is JMI is guaranteeing UK an amount of money. But, you know, they're going to say, okay, Matt Jones gives a million dollars for players to UK. It goes through JMI, and JMI is going to count that towards the $465 million.
- [14:59]
Unknown
Okay. All right. Thanks for your answer. Appreciate it. You guys have a good day.
- [15:03]
Shannon The Dude
Appreciate the call. So, yes, I heard that the guy from JMI was doing an interview earlier today on Tom Leach. I did not hear it, but Paul Archie is his name. So I don't know if he gave more details or not.
- [15:18]
Drew Franklin
Usually a Leech Report listener didn't catch that.
- [15:20]
Shannon The Dude
Yeah. Let's go to Joe. Go ahead, Joe.
- [15:24]
Unknown
Hey, Matt. Sometimes when sports fans do things, you guys take a poll, whether it was cool or weird. I have one of those for you if you want. Not really go for it. So I'll preface it real quick by saying my brother and I are kind of obsolesce OCD about making lists of things like concerts we've been to, games, stadiums, that type of thing. I've never known anyone who does what he does. A year before you and I were born, he started a list of every movie he's ever been to at the theater. He's kept it now for about 48, 49 years. Is that any? Rates them 1 to 10 and he has them now. He's since moved it from pen and paper to Excel or whatever.
- [16:06]
Shannon The Dude
I think it's awesome. That's not weird. I mean, I just. We were just talking about the letterboxd app.
- [16:14]
Unknown
That's what made me think of it.
- [16:15]
Shannon The Dude
Yeah, all of America is doing that. So, no, I don't think it's awesome. I think anybody who takes time to dedicate that much time to keeping track of their thing. Like, I'm reading 52 books this year or trying to. I write them each down after. I'm planning on, at some point with Mario, filming little TikTok things, rating them. I finished like 29. I've written them all down. I've written my review of them. So if I can do it for a few months. I can't say it's weird for your friend to have done it for that long. I think it's kind of cool, actually.
- [16:47]
Unknown
I will send you the Screenshot of movies 1 through 22.
- [16:53]
Shannon The Dude
Thank you. I think it's awesome, right?
- [16:55]
Drew Franklin
I won't call that weird. I'll call it awesome. My dad writes down every golf course he's played. Not like every time he plays one, but like a new one to know every place he's been.
- [17:02]
Shannon The Dude
Oh, see, so just, it's just being neurotic. It's not being weird. Shady Rays is where you can get sunglasses that are wonderful. I took, I got two pairs after we were out there on Friday, used in my entire trip. I think they've even gotten better because they have these new it's called like power something.

Welcome back Techie Sports Radio 859-280227 Text Message 7 Machine Text Machine 772-774-52541 Person writes Matt, of the books you've read this year, give me the five best. All right, I'm looking at my list here. See, if I didn't have this list, I couldn't do it because I wouldn't remember them all. Martyr Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.
- [20:54]
Drew Franklin
I read that one.
- [20:55]
Shannon The Dude
I regret almost everything. That's that book where the guy who's like a restaurant guy. That was really good. I just finished My Brilliant Friend and I really like that one. Well, that's more like. I think it's more probably aimed at women, but I really liked it. And then you dreamed of Empires, which is like this, that book, the crazy book about like Cortez and Montezuma. And then it's like a fever dream. It's weird. You got to get yourself ready for how weird it is. But I really liked it. I'll probably read that one again. And I never read anything again.
- [21:29]
Drew Franklin
So is that the big recommendation from.
- [21:30]
Shannon The Dude
The bunch you dreamed of? Empires is great. What I would suggest to you is go back and actually get on Wikipedia or something and read the story of Cortez and Montezuma before you do it. So you know what actually kind of happened. So that you realize what's like a fever dream and what's not. I didn't do that. It took me a while to figure out what in the world was going on, so. But then once I did, I was glad I was good. So those are the, those are the recommendations, by the way, the $465 million to UK, just to be clear from JMI, it does not include the past money. So they expect to get over the next 15 years $465 million in money. So that would be $31 million a year, something like that.
- [22:16]
Drew Franklin
That sounds great.
- [22:18]
Shannon The Dude
That's a lot of money.
- [22:18]
Drew Franklin
Go get me Stokes money. Sounds good. Go, go get players.
- [22:21]
Shannon The Dude
But I'm with you either you've, you've convinced me. I don't. The amounts of money are relevant to me. Let me see what the roster is when it starts. And if the roster is good, then that was a good amount of money.
- [22:32]
Drew Franklin
I'm a fan of the basketball and the football team, not the accounting department. Y' all figure it out. Just put the best team out there you can.
- [22:38]
Shannon The Dude
The Raiders had practice apparently two days ago. Shannon and they were practicing the tush push and 73 year old Pete Carroll jumped in on the defense to try to stop it.
- [22:49]
Unknown
Oh, well, I'm sure that didn't go too well for him. I didn't see the video, but I.
- [22:53]
Shannon The Dude
Can'T imagine jumping on the pile while everybody was like in a pile after the tush push and he, without a helmet, jumped into the pot pile. If you're a player, do you like that or you like. You're 71 years old, man, Be careful.
- [23:08]
Unknown
Absolutely love it that he's in his 70s and still has that kind of fire that he would jump in on a dog pile. I absolutely love it. How can you not love that as a player?
- [23:17]
Shannon The Dude
I mean, I'd love it as long as I didn't have to carry him off the field.
- [23:19]
Unknown
He's doing it without a helmet.
- [23:21]
Shannon The Dude
I mean, without a helmet you can't.
- [23:24]
Unknown
Do something he's not asking his players to do.
- [23:26]
Drew Franklin
When Variable was with the Titans, he would do this stuff and I thought it was so cool and brable, still athletic and, you know, decades younger than Pete Carroll.
- [23:33]
Shannon The Dude
I think it's awesome. I mean, like that's, that's my mom jumping on the pile.
- [23:38]
Drew Franklin
Love it. And those players probably love it or.
- [23:41]
Shannon The Dude
I'm sure they loved it. Yes. Pete Carroll seems like a fun dude.
- [23:44]
Drew Franklin
Maybe before first game he'll, you know, head some headbutt somebody and split himself open.
- [23:48]
Shannon The Dude
Really get him, Mark Stoops would do that. I can see it. He's. He's got.
- [23:53]
Drew Franklin
He's like robotic now with his ankle and.
- [23:56]
Shannon The Dude
Yeah, whatever.
- [23:56]
Drew Franklin
I worry about him hurting himself. A young 71 or whatever he is.
- [24:00]
Shannon The Dude
Which Kentucky coach do you think would be more likely to jump into the game? Well, of practice, there's a coach that's.
- [24:07]
Drew Franklin
Not currently at Kentucky that's somewhere else. That would be pretty wild at Tulane. Of the current coaches or just in.
- [24:15]
Shannon The Dude
General, what coach have we had that you could see jumping into the dog pile or in a basketball game saying, bring it on?
- [24:21]
Drew Franklin
Well, I could see Pope calling out guys right now.
- [24:24]
Shannon The Dude
I could see Pope going, come on, Jaden, you failed the driver's test. See if you can score on me.
- [24:30]
Drew Franklin
Minji own. I could see you getting out there in the dog polish.
- [24:34]
Shannon The Dude
I bet Minji owns tried to take somebody's legs out in a double play before.
- [24:37]
Drew Franklin
I think Stoops Wood, he's just a little banged up at the moment. We don't need him any more procedures.

Hello, 8 and 4 year old.
- [25:01]
Unknown
So we. We appreciate the show. Second thing, I know you guys have been kind of big off and on last few weeks about conspiracy theories, so I got one for you.
- [25:12]
Shannon The Dude
Okay.
- [25:15]
Unknown
I think that maybe Coach Cal left for Arkansas because he seen Indiana coming up on the schedule this year and he's scared to play him.
- [25:24]
Shannon The Dude
Well, he's scared to go to Bloomington. I don't know if he's. I don't think he was scared to play Indiana, but I definitely think he was scared to go to Bloomington. I appreciate the call. He didn't want to. I say this a lot, you know, I don't like Indiana. I like to mock them still. I would say second best college basketball environment I've ever been in. The 2002 Duke Carolina game was the wildest and I don't think anything will ever top it. It was like number one versus number two. I stormed the court for North Carolina when they won. Didn't get arrested either. Even though I was on the road. I think Kentucky Indiana was second. And then I think there's some Kentucky games where we were home where it would be next. But to me, the Kentucky Indiana game in 2012 was the wildest atmosphere I've seen of a Kentucky game in my lifetime. Would you agree with that?
- [26:22]
Drew Franklin
Me too. Not really even close. They were out of their minds. Um, the caller was half right when the series was scheduled. Bloomington was last for like 2029.
- [26:33]
Shannon The Dude
So we knew he was leaving.
- [26:34]
Drew Franklin
I think Cal knew he wouldn't be here in 2029.
- [26:37]
Shannon The Dude
We knew he was leaving. Jose. Go ahead, Jose.
- [26:42]
Unknown
So I want to get you guys opinion on something. I, when I did this, my wife called me stupid. But I want somebody to hopefully be on my side. I what do you guys think about spending money for the right to buy a ticket for the FIFA World cup next year without knowing the game or.
- [27:02]
Shannon The Dude
The kind of seat that you're getting, I'm for it. Do it because I went, when I went to the Euro European championships last year, I just picked random games. I didn't care who was playing. It's still such an awesome cultural experience. Just like. And then next year it's, it's in our country. You're probably going to like Cincinnati or Nashville or. Am I right about that?
- [27:26]
Unknown
San Francisco.
- [27:27]
Shannon The Dude
San Francisco, yeah. And what's on, you're in San Francisco. So whatever country it is, there'll be people from it. I say you do it. I mean, what's the worst it could be? Like it's still going to be awesome. I think you definitely do it.
- [27:43]
Unknown
All right, thanks.
- [27:43]
Shannon The Dude
Appreciate the call. As someone who's done it, I mean I literally went to three games. It was like slov Slovakia versus Switzerland and it was still awesome. You, you can't really like you. You can't recreate moments like that. So if you have a chance to go, go. We'll take a break. Be right back.

Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.
- [28:11]
Shannon The Dude
Welcome back. Techie Sports Radio. The segment sponsored by State Renovations. We'll, we'll pay if you were late. You heard me talk about estate renovations. Kentucky's go to for high end home remodeling. But here's something you may not know. If they go over their projected date, you get $100 a day. That's an amazing deal.
- [28:30]
Unknown
Yeah, yeah.
- [28:31]
Shannon The Dude
So if they tell you it's going to be September 16th every day, it's not, they'll give you $100 back. That's pretty good. Whole home makeovers, bathrooms, kitchens, whatever you want. Estate renos. R e n o s.com KSR now use the KSR to get that $100 a day. Estaterenos r e n o s.com/cah are estate renovations where if they don't do it in time, you'll be the one that gets paid. One person writes. Matt, if you were to go to World cup games, which city and which teams would you want to see? Okay, good question. Where. Where are the cities? Do you know? Because I said Nashville, Cincinnati. Apparently neither of them is.
- [29:12]
Drew Franklin
They got eliminated at the final stage.
- [29:15]
Shannon The Dude
Where are we going?
- [29:16]
Drew Franklin
New York. New Jersey at night.
- [29:18]
Shannon The Dude
I love New York. That's a hard stadium to get to. You'd get a lot of cool diversity there, but that is a hard stadium to get to. So what else?
- [29:27]
Drew Franklin
Dallas.
- [29:27]
Unknown
AT.
- [29:28]
Drew Franklin
AT&T Stadium.
- [29:29]
Shannon The Dude
I don't know how much atmosphere that would have, but go ahead.
- [29:31]
Drew Franklin
Kansas City. Arrowhead.
- [29:33]
Shannon The Dude
Kansas City's great, actually. They have a huge soccer community there. Go ahead.
- [29:37]
Drew Franklin
Houston. Energy Stadium.
- [29:38]
Shannon The Dude
A lot of energy stadium diversity there.
- [29:41]
Drew Franklin
Atlanta.
- [29:42]
Shannon The Dude
Okay.
- [29:43]
Drew Franklin
Louisiana.
- [29:44]
Shannon The Dude
Louisiana would be awesome.
- [29:45]
Drew Franklin
That's. That's my pick. Seattle.
- [29:47]
Shannon The Dude
Seattle would be awesome.
- [29:49]
Drew Franklin
San Francisco, pretty good.
- [29:51]
Shannon The Dude
Philly, Pretty good.
- [29:52]
Drew Franklin
Miami.
- [29:54]
Shannon The Dude
Boston, pretty good. All right. But again, a lot of these places. All right, so now the question is, who do you want to see? Number one, Shannon, you want to see Brazil? Okay, the Brazilian fans, they dance the whole time. The women. Stop it. If there's a country with more beautiful women than Brazil, I haven't seen it. So stop it right there. The day they dance the whole game, they never stop the music. It just keeps playing. And they don't stop dancing. They can be down.
- [30:25]
Unknown
You wouldn't be able to keep your eye on the game, though.
- [30:27]
Shannon The Dude
I'd just be dancing. It wouldn't matter. So Brazil's number one, Argentina is up there. You'd want to see. All right, so let's go to Europe. If they make it. Nobody is more fun than the Scottish people. Nobody. Scottish people are the most. And I don't know if they'll make it, but the Scottish people are the most fun people, maybe in the world.
- [30:49]
Drew Franklin
I went to Scotland versus Spain in Yankee Stadium, and I don't know that I've been to a better sporting event.
- [30:54]
Shannon The Dude
Nothing more fun than Scotland. I went to a European game with Scottish people. I still keep in contact with the dudes I met on the train that I ended up sitting with. They sit. They. They sent me a thing that said congrats. They. One of them listen the podcast. Congrats on the NFL podcast. So shout out to you Scottish guys. Spain, you mentioned another one. Awesome. Portugal, awesome. The British fans are in a bad mood because they know they're never going to win. Um, what else? French? Nah. Germany? Nah. Then go to a team that, like, has never been or hasn't been in a while, they get really excited, right? Like, they're just happy to be there. And then there'll be a team from either, like, Australia or New Zealand that will make it. They're fun, too. That's who I would say. But number one is I will. I will go where Brazil is. If I have to sneak in, I.
- [31:51]
Drew Franklin
Would pick out LA as my venue and hope I get Mexico nearby that they would just come take over.
- [31:56]
Shannon The Dude
Mexico would be great, too. In la, the Mexican fans are. Are insane. But nobody's like Brazil. Nobody. It's just a different thing. I really wouldn't care who I got, though.
- [32:09]
Drew Franklin
Just seeing a World cup in person would be awesome.
- [32:12]
Shannon The Dude
What you don't want is a country that's like. Like you don't want, like, Norway. They're not that. They just like, we're over here being Norway.
- [32:22]
Drew Franklin
Like borrowing.
- [32:23]
Shannon The Dude
Yeah, exactly. More like borrow a. You need somebody with. With. With.
- [32:28]
Drew Franklin
I'd also like the huge underdog. Even though they probably wouldn't have a lot of fans with them, I would just embrace. I would be their fans. I'd wear the flag.
- [32:34]
Shannon The Dude
Well, that's what it was with me with Slovakia. All these. They were like, we're not going to win. We're just going to Shannon Slovak everywhere. You know, that was their exact wording. So that was what they did. And so that was a. That's a lot of fun.
- [32:49]
Drew Franklin
Give me Ivory coast versus England. And I am. I am.
- [32:52]
Shannon The Dude
I didn't think about.
- [32:53]
Drew Franklin
Ivory coast is. Yeah, I'm their biggest fan.
- [32:56]
Shannon The Dude
Cameroon, like, Ivory Coast. Yeah. That's what you want to do. And it's going to be in America. And I hope we embrace it because I think it's going to be a lot of fun having all those people just going to be. It was going to be cool. Blake. Go ahead, Blake.
- [33:11]
Unknown
Hey, guys. So we were talking about the. I guess maybe Louisville will be the first, like, private equity team in sports and call sports. Are we now the first team that has become the, like, private equity owned team? And is that kind of a KSR curse on that or not?
- [33:31]
Shannon The Dude
I don't think it's the same thing. Exactly. So, like, private equity would include. If you. If you were to have a private equity team, like, invest in Louisville, they would get a percentage of all Louisville profits for everything, including for, like, ticket sales, suites, all that. This JMI deal, as I understand it, is about merchandise Naming rights and things like media rights. Media rights. And so it's, it's, you could make a strong argument that they are buying part, but it's also 15 years. So it's term limited, which is a little different than private equity. So, no, I wouldn't say this is private equity in the sense of what I think some teams are going to do in the future.
- [34:18]
Unknown
Okay, cool.
- [34:19]
Shannon The Dude
That makes you an example. Like when I, I sold 51% of OVW, I now have, along with my partners, 49%. I can't get that 51% back. If that guy that runs it decides to do something that I hate, there's really nothing I can do about it. UK still will get it back in 15 years. I'm sure there are provisions that keep, that allow them to still make the decision. So I just, I don't think it's the same thing.
- [34:49]
Unknown
So it's more like a licensing agreement than anything else?
- [34:52]
Drew Franklin
I think.
- [34:53]
Shannon The Dude
So it's just a licensing agreement though. But they are licensing away a massive part of what it means to be an athletics department, including the getting of players.
- [35:05]
Unknown
Right. And does that have anything to do with how they separated the athletic department into the LLC, like the separate LLC 2, or is that completely.
- [35:13]
Shannon The Dude
I'm sure it does. I'm sure it does. Is not. I'm not going to claim to be like a high level corporate lawyer and be able to tell you why from a business perspective, it does, but I'm sure that it made that deal a lot easier because the very first board meeting of the new private LLC is where they announced this. So I have to assume that it had something to do with it.
- [35:37]
Unknown
Okay, cool.
- [35:38]
Drew Franklin
I appreciate the call.
- [35:39]
Shannon The Dude
Thank you. Chad in Wisconsin. Go ahead, Chad.
- [35:43]
Unknown
Long time listener, first time caller who.
- [35:46]
Shannon The Dude
I.
- [35:49]
Unknown
I was just calling because y' all were talking about the George Webb cheeseburgers earlier.
- [35:53]
Shannon The Dude
Okay. So you. Do you live up there?
- [35:56]
Unknown
Yes, I'm from Kentucky. I used to bring you the big cases of Skittles back in the day.
- [36:01]
Shannon The Dude
Oh, those were good. I still, I still have some because I couldn't eat them all. Thank you. So tell me, like, are they, are, are you going to get one of the burgers?
- [36:11]
Unknown
No, I'm not going there. I'm not waiting that one.
- [36:13]
Shannon The Dude
First of all, are they good? Have you ever eaten at George Webb?
- [36:17]
Unknown
It's like the Waffle House of the North.
- [36:21]
Shannon The Dude
Oh, okay. So it's not like a mom.
- [36:23]
Unknown
Ryan would love it.
- [36:24]
Shannon The Dude
It's not like a Mom and pop.
- [36:25]
Unknown
No, it's not. Oh, no, it's a chain.
- [36:28]
Shannon The Dude
Well, that's a lot less interesting. All right, well, are people in Milwaukee excited?
- [36:35]
Unknown
They've been talking about these cheeseburgers for a month.
- [36:39]
Shannon The Dude
Well, I guess that means they are. Well, it's. I appreciate the call and thank you for the Skittles. Over the year, I get something. Maybe they got the worth in advertising themselves.
- [36:48]
Drew Franklin
I guess it takes a little bit out of the fun knowing it's a big entity with chains all over the state. I thought it was going to literally be a mom and a pop over a grill at their shop.
- [36:58]
Shannon The Dude
Going to be Georgia.
- [36:58]
Drew Franklin
Now that it's like the Wisconsin or the McDonald's of Wisconsin, it's a little different.
- [37:04]
Shannon The Dude
Remember when we went to Milwaukee for the. For the NCAA tournament? Myron told us we had to go get a burger somewhere.
- [37:11]
Drew Franklin
We never made it.
- [37:12]
Shannon The Dude
Oh, so this was not bad.
- [37:15]
Drew Franklin
Cops could never do this. They're doing too well.
- [37:19]
Shannon The Dude
So you think this is like, to save George Webb, they're going to give 300,000 burgers away to save the.
- [37:24]
Drew Franklin
Well, I'm just. When you. When you think of burgers, I mean, how many people said cops? We didn't hear a lot of time. Yeah. So I think Cops is doing just fine.
- [37:31]
Shannon The Dude
Okay.
- [37:32]
Drew Franklin
I'm a little mad we didn't get to that place.
- [37:34]
Shannon The Dude
It looked good.
- [37:34]
Drew Franklin
We had so many people recommend it to.
- [37:37]
Shannon The Dude
Yeah, we did that. Next time, we'll do it. All right, real quick. DraftKings tonight. You can. By the way, you can bet $5 you can get up to 150 in bonus bets. There are. I'm sitting here looking at games. Reds are off tonight, so I'm just going to randomly pick one. How about this? Little League baseball, World Series. Shannon, Taipei, Taipei. Not Taipe. Taipei. Chinese Taipei plays Chiawa. Chihuahua. Mexico.

Unknown
Chihuahua. Wow.

Unknown
Give me. Give me Chihuahua, Mexico.

Drew Franklin
You know, we heard Shannon's poodle yesterday. You have a Chihuahua? Do you have a chihuahua over there?
- [38:27]
Shannon The Dude
Like the poodle? Who you got?
- [38:29]
Drew Franklin
I got to go with the Chihuahua.
- [38:30]
Shannon The Dude
I'm going to go with. I'm going to go with Chinese Taipei. And then in the other. In the nightcap, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, plays Uchelan Township, Pennsylvania.
- [38:40]
Unknown
Ooh, Pennsylvania, the home of the World Series. Right. So we got to go with Pennsylvania.
- [38:45]
Shannon The Dude
They got a home field advantage.
- [38:46]
Drew Franklin
I was just in South Dakota. I feel like I'm a local now, so I'm rolling with my South Dakota.
- [38:52]
Shannon The Dude
I'm going to go Pennsylvania. Let's do one more. Why not Braintree, Massachusetts?
- [38:57]
Unknown
That is not a place.
- [38:58]
Shannon The Dude
It is Braintree Massachusetts versus Irmo South Carolina.
- [39:05]
Unknown
Well, this is not a thinking game so I'm going to go with the South Carolina team instead of Brain.
- [39:14]
Shannon The Dude
Tree. This ain't no who's the smartest kids.
- [39:17]
Drew Franklin
Gotta go with SEC country. I'll take South Carolina.
- [39:19]
Shannon The Dude
I feel like Irmo's got to be good, right? And then I think this is going to be a route Berno Chechnya or BRNO Chechiya versus Tokyo, Japan.
- [39:31]
Unknown
Tokyo, Japan.
- [39:32]
Shannon The Dude
Got to go right like Japan. Do they even play baseball in the Czech Republic?
- [39:38]
Drew Franklin
I'm taking the the burn it to Chach me. I'm taking them.
- [39:42]
Shannon The Dude
They don't even play baseball in the Czech Republic, do they?
- [39:45]
Drew Franklin
They're about to.
- [39:46]
Shannon The Dude
Dude. You got to take Tokyo. That's, that's, that's my Matt Jones lock of the week at Draft Kings.
- [39:52]
Unknown
They did make it this far. So these teams, I think they have.
- [39:55]
Shannon The Dude
To take someone from Europe. So Tokyo is the lock of the year. We'll take a break. Be right back.

- [42:49]
Shannon The Dude
Welcome back techie Sports Radio. I have not. This is just. I just see the headline. I'm not even gonna read the story because I think the headline is better than the story can be. Denver Nuggets being sued by their mascot. I don't even want to know why. I just want to picture in court the mascot walking out in his gear and saying, your honor. And then stating his claim.
- [43:17]
Drew Franklin
Trying to think what that could be. Did he maybe get injured?
- [43:19]
Shannon The Dude
Yeah, I think it's probably something about an injury. I can't imagine.
- [43:22]
Drew Franklin
Got tired of the one arm push ups.
- [43:24]
Shannon The Dude
Can't imagine the mascot was sexually harassed.
- [43:28]
Drew Franklin
The kiss cam.
- [43:29]
Shannon The Dude
Yeah, I'm tired of doing the kiss Cam. I would be. I would think it would have to be something with an injury.
- [43:34]
Unknown
I think that's the mascot that jumps on the trampoline and does like the flips and the dunks. I think that's the mascot.
- [43:40]
Shannon The Dude
I mean, so injury is probably a pretty problemless.
- [43:43]
Unknown
Yeah.
- [43:43]
Shannon The Dude
Yeah.
- [43:43]
Drew Franklin
I hope I never get the answer.
- [43:45]
Unknown
I just wonder.
- [43:47]
Shannon The Dude
He tried to collectively bargain with the other mascots and they were. Do you have the. Do you want to know the answer?
- [43:53]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, let's do it.
- [43:54]
Unknown
It's in another headline.
- [43:56]
Shannon The Dude
Do you want the answer?
- [43:57]
Unknown
Yeah.
- [43:57]
Drew Franklin
Yeah.
- [43:59]
Shannon The Dude
What did they do?
- [44:00]
Unknown
Wrongful termination amid health recovery.
- [44:04]
Shannon The Dude
Okay, so health recovery. So it's probably an injury.
- [44:06]
Unknown
Yep. And they. He probably didn't recover quick enough and they got somebody else.
- [44:12]
Shannon The Dude
Yeah, that's mean. He was the mascot.
- [44:15]
Unknown
Nobody knew who he was, though. I mean, somebody else could put the costume on.
- [44:19]
Shannon The Dude
Well, that is true. Like, you didn't. You don't go, man. I missed the other guy.
- [44:22]
Drew Franklin
See, I liked it better in my brain that the actual mascot was the.
- [44:26]
Unknown
One suing, not the guy inside the.
- [44:29]
Shannon The Dude
I wish it was the mascot. Your Honor, they've discriminated against me as a. As a lion. They're always favoring the cows. I'm a lion. Or I say it's a lion. What is it?
- [44:43]
Drew Franklin
It is lion. Ish. I mean, they don't have a nugget out there. It's like a little animal I can't think of.
- [44:49]
Shannon The Dude
I think it's like. It's like a little cat or something, isn't it?
- [44:53]
Unknown
Yeah, some kind of cat.
- [44:54]
Shannon The Dude
Adam, go ahead.
- [44:55]
Drew Franklin
Anymore?

Shannon The Dude
Wow. Now, that is. That goes way back, my friend. Yes. That's 2007.
- [45:15]
Unknown
Yes. I'm a Bell county boy, too. And my buddy, he just was like, hey, man, there's a guy from Middlesboro that is starting this website you got. And listen. I had dial up brother. And I would listen because I lived in a holler, and I would try to get on to figure out what was.
- [45:31]
Shannon The Dude
But what holler did you live in?
- [45:36]
Unknown
I live up Hunter Holler in Little Clerk. Up Little Clark Creek. It's up by the. Up 190 down.
- [45:42]
Shannon The Dude
Say that again. You're in Hunter Holler in Little, I think. Did you say Claire Creek? You meant Clear Creek, right?
- [45:48]
Unknown
Yes, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [45:51]
Shannon The Dude
Up there. Okay. Yeah. Next to the. There's like a seminary or whatever up there. Like a Bible college. Yes.
- [45:58]
Unknown
Yeah. Yeah. My. My house is literally four minutes away from that.
- [46:02]
Shannon The Dude
All right, Gotcha.
- [46:04]
Unknown
The reason why I was calling, it's a little. A little different route today, but I have literally drove 75 my whole entire life. I was from Lima, so from Detroit all the way down to Knoxville, I'm pretty. Pretty good at 75. Well, went to Clearwater the other day, and I have got to tell you, I've always thought Ohio was the worst drivers, but let me tell you, is it just me, or does Georgia over top Ohio? Because they cannot drive worth a lick on 75. Is it just me? Is it me?
- [46:42]
Shannon The Dude
Is it just you? I don't know if it's just you, but I like it. I think. Seth. Seth, since you're from Clear Creek, I think you. Adam, Adam, since you're from Clear Creek, I think you should, I think you should just call in with your thoughts. I like the Georgians can't drive. They're even worse than Ohines.
- [47:03]

I and I'll tell you, I'll tell you ksp, Kentucky State Police. If you see a Georgia driver, hey, just pull them over. Even if you gotta put something in their truck. I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding. But whatever you gotta do, just do it. I pull. I was driving. I, I was driving and you got time or am I?

I, I, I was coming out of the tunnel the other day and I'm okay, yeah, this. Can you hear me now?

Shannon The Dude
Go ahead.

Okay. I was coming out of the tunnel in the left lane. There was somebody pulling out an lmu. Well, there was nobody in the right line lane. So I just thought, okay, they're, they're not going to pull it out in front of me. They're going to get in this fast line or get in the slung line. Well, sure enough, Matthew Harper, they pulled right out in front of me. And then, you know, I'm laid back. I'm like, that's okay. That's so cool. Then, then they pull, then they take the next left at that subway. Frosty free. And when I say it pissed me off so bad, I literally got over in the turning lane, got on his ass and scared the ever loving dog crap in him. So Georgia, ksp, you see him pull them over, do whatever you got to do to get them off the road.

We need to hear more from Adam Hunter.

Shannon The Dude
Hunter holler.

Drew Franklin
I have a mascot detail.
- [48:45]
Shannon The Dude
This guy's really like that guy. Go ahead.
- [48:47]
Drew Franklin
This guy's dad was the mascot for 30 years and he grew up in the locker room. Says he was doing his homework while his dad was practicing being the mascot.
- [48:54]
Matt Jones
He's bit little.
- [48:54]
Shannon The Dude
A legacy mascot. Yeah.
- [48:56]
Drew Franklin
This changes things for me. His dad was the original cat. He says as a kid I would go to and do my homework in the locker room. My dad was getting ready.
- [49:04]
Shannon The Dude
So he was the little cat. Yep. And he was fired for. What was his injury?
- [49:08]
Drew Franklin
He has a hip injury, hit some hip pain.
- [49:11]
Unknown
Being a mascot will do that to.
- [49:13]
Shannon The Dude
You, I would think. If you're flipping like that, I'm on his side. I feel like you owe. It's a family tradition.
- [49:19]
Drew Franklin
Wouldn't the nuggets want that story. Maybe he has a kid one day and then you got a little grandkid wild mascot.
- [49:25]
Shannon The Dude
I like the idea though that like you're a father and you're like son, one day you're gonna be like me. You're gonna be in this mountain lion costume, stinky, sweaty. Yeah, you're gonna follow in my stank footsteps and you're gonna be jumping off the trampoline to the sounds of Cisco at a game in the future.

Drew Franklin
It says in the interview, I've loved Rocky my entire life. It's in my blood. So I think your scenario is how he was raised.
- [49:57]
Shannon The Dude
Shame if you if you put this case in front of a jury in Denver Nuggets, you're going to get taken to the bank. You better settle and bring back my hip addled mascot. We'll see you tomorrow at the state fair. It's Big Kentucky Sports Radio.
