  • Drew shares the story of Bryce Young taking a personal photo for Drew's Panthers-fan friend Manny.

4. The ICE (Immigration & Customs Enforcement) Encounter

• Drew’s bathroom run-in with Derrick Henry:

  "I look, and it’s Derrick Henry. It’s just me and him there against the wall... this is the one place in this entire venue where I don’t think I can speak to him." (38:12, Drew Franklin)

  • Billy missed networking with ESPN execs because he was glued to the Kentucky basketball game on his phone, shouting encouragement and letting out a "Bang!"
  • Tom Hart repeatedly referenced Billy on-air, including the quarter zip, business card, and more.

    "After adult, are you serious? He brought up lather, which I can't believe he said on national television. That was in honor of Ryan falling for stuff on Facebook." (32:36, Matt Jones)

• Reflection on gratitude and appreciating opportunities, as Matt encourages everyone to "enjoy your blessings."

  "If you get to the point in anything in life that something cool and you're like, I don't care anymore, then you shouldn't be doing it." (34:27, Matt Jones)

[Show Host Intro]

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

[Matt Jones]

Well, welcome everyone. It is Kentucky Sports Radio, Wednesday, February 5th. I'm Matt Jones here live in San Francisco, California. It's Thursday.

[Drew Franklin]

It is Thursday.

[Matt Jones]

Anybody is September 5th. I don't think it's September every February 5th. I said September yesterday. Why did I. Why do I do football?

[Drew Franklin]

You're already ready for next football season.

[Matt Jones]

I guess I did like yesterday. Mario asked me if the last game was Sunday.

[Drew Franklin]

That was fun.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, the Super Bowl. They finished the year.

[Drew Franklin]

Are we still doing game recaps?

[Matt Jones]

859-280-2287 is the Clark's puppet Shop phone line. A Vision Auto Glass text machine is 772-774-5254 in this dish and sponsored by the TJ Smith Law Office. If you call TJ he'll make them pay. It is Thursday. We've only been here 36 hours, but it feels like we've been here a long time. And in Billy's room again after we were here late last night doing a post game show. Drew it has been an excellent 36 hours, capped off by the Cats win yesterday. I was going to say, you know, we're going to talk a lot about our trip because we talked a lot about the game last night. That's not really true.

[Drew Franklin]

On the post game show, we tried.

[Matt Jones]

We did try, but we were giddy. And because we were giddy, we ended up being. I even had Dan Pfeiffer, former ABC TV news analysts, go, you all sounded like you were on gummies last night, and I promise you we were not. But then someone said that's what people who were odd gummies would say. So I guess there's no way to prove otherwise.

[Drew Franklin]

There are a Lot of allegations of marijuana use. We were too busy yesterday to even stop if we wanted to. I mean, it was just one thing after another. That was just pure happiness. And 14,000 steps yesterday, those need to count as triple. These are not normal steps out here. Like, my legs are still hurting. But no, yesterday, truly one of my favorite days of all time. Not just with ksr. That was like one of my best life days.

[Matt Jones]

I agree. So we want to talk about some of it. 859-280-2287 we'll. We will talk about the game, I promise. But look, we're out here, so I think we need to talk about being here now. The first. Our first episode, they had. Even the NFL has audio difficulties, at least when we're there. So they want you scoot over and let Mario sit down.

[Drew Franklin]

Billy.

[Billy]

I'm not gonna bite. Mario, come on.

[Show Host Intro]

Right here.

[Drew Franklin]

Get in bed with Billy.

[Matt Jones]

All right. So. So anyway that we. The first episode did come out. It's out last night. It has our interview with Mike Golic and with who's our Davis. Terrell Davis. Sean Alexander is listed on there. But they're putting that one out today, and I want you to listen to it. It also includes Stevie Johnson of Stevie Got Loose fame. And it was a lot of fun. But. But the highlight was just the day. So I'm going to try to explain a little bit about what this is so people understand. All right. And feel free to jump in. When you walk in to NFL Radio row, it is a plethora of everything. Every TV station, every TV show you can imagine is live there. And every radio show you can imagine and podcast is there. Is that fair to say?

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. For people. Imagine what you see on tv and you think that's like some big set. No, it's pretty small. And they're just next to each other in a row. One after. It's like walking through your tv.

[Matt Jones]

So, like, I'll just quit. I'll just think about going from around the side. So you're like, there's Pat McAfee. There's ESPN Radio. There's CBS, Jim Rome and all those people. There's Bleacher Report that looks to have spent $10 million on their set. Their Sirius XM with Stephen A. Smith, Chris Russo, Katie Nolan. Right. There's the NFL Network. There's Matt and Drew and Billy. Why are we there? There's no reason for us to be there. Oh, look, there's Fox Sports Radio. There's Stu Gods and Dan leitard. Right. There's DraftKings. There's FanDuel. You just circle around, and then on the inside are kind of the lesser things, and even those are, like, things you've heard of. There's Shannon Sharp. There's. You know, FIFA had a booth. FIFA was. Had a World cup booth. And, like, in one of the prime slots are me.

[Drew Franklin]

And, you know, why.

[Matt Jones]

Stop.

[Billy]

Why?

[Drew Franklin]

We walked straight to the middle with the little tables, because that's just our natural. Oh, this is us here, where they have nothing available.

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. They're like, no, no. That big city with the lights and the crew of 15 people waiting for you. That's you all.

[Matt Jones]

And then you get on the set. It's amazing what lighting can do. I felt handsome for the first time in my life on, like. Like, you get lights and a good camera, and you're like, whoa, my eyes are blue. That's nice. Like. Like what? That you want to feel good about yourself. Have someone take a picture of you on a TV studio set.

[Billy]

Billy. Yeah, the set was incredible. I thought the same thing. We were going to get the. The table next to the. The water fountain. I mean. No. And we're gonna be on a different set today. We got a lounge set today.

[Matt Jones]

We're gonna be on their casual couch set, which yesterday, while we were sitting there, had the workaholics and the Vanderpumps. And the Vanderpumps were there. Hello, Ms. Vanderpump. I didn't know what to say to the Vanderpumps. I was. I was geeking out at Adam Devine. Kelvin Gemstone. I wanted to sing to him and say that I was gonna run around the house with a pickle in my mouth. But he. I was way too happy to see him because I didn't expect to see someone like that there.

[Drew Franklin]

No, we told him, you know, we're a sports show, but we would do reviews of your episodes on Mondays after watching them and right after that, and I could tell he was loving it, and he was being all nice. I was like, this is the part where Matt's gonna sing. I felt it in my bones.

[Matt Jones]

You thought I was gonna sing.

[Drew Franklin]

I was like, matt is gonna baby Billy. Him right here on this set. I was prepared.

[Matt Jones]

I don't think he would. I think I would have been embarrassing, but I wanted to, baby. But you know who's on there today? I looked at right before us on that set. What's his name? Bowen yang.

[Drew Franklin]

The 2.

[Matt Jones]

The guy on Saturday Night Live. And then, like, he has a podcast with, like, another gay guy.

[Drew Franklin]

We'll go talk snl.

[Matt Jones]

They'll probably have us on as a guest. I would think we're on there right before us. It's, it's, it's this, them and then us.

[Drew Franklin]

When these people say the vanderpump.

[Matt Jones]

Martha Stewart's going to be there today.

[Drew Franklin]

We got to interview Martha.

[Matt Jones]

Martha Stewart. What if we, what if, what if we get Martha Stewart today?

[Drew Franklin]

See, those are the kind of guests we need. Like, with all due respect to the second string linebacker from the Colts that we have on the schedule tomorrow, we have.

[Matt Jones]

So who do we have today? We have Christian Watson and when some guy I've never heard.

[Billy]

Defensive tackle.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

From the, from the.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. This is, it's a big major. And don't, don't, don't tell him I said this. It's a big major step down in guests. Like yesterday was just a murderer.

[Drew Franklin]

That was silly.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, you stock with. You start with Terrell Davis, then you come to Mike Golic, then you come to Sean Alexander and then you get busing with the boys. Joe Milton, who I didn't have a lot to talk about, but was nice. Christian McCaffrey is, is the next.

[Drew Franklin]

And who was last? Bryce Young.

[Matt Jones]

Bryce. Only Bryce Young.

[Billy]

What we sang to him.

[Matt Jones]

We did. We sang. If I had $150,000.

[Billy]

He.

[Drew Franklin]

I'm not going to do the Gilly thing. But so many of those people, all of them, they could have, they had a busy day. They could have walked to the next set immediately shaking hands. Thanks, guys. Most of them hung around and talked off the air, just being like over the top nice to us. Like, Bryce Young was like, all right, Bryce, you can leave now. You don't have to like hang here all day. But like, you think their crew would usher them off. But they just wanted.

[Matt Jones]

That was my biggest takeaway was how nice all those people were. Like the buzzing with the boys. People like, they are. They've literally got tons of people following them around everywhere they go, like fans. I don't know how those people got in there, but they couldn't be nice. And they acted like we were all friends. And I felt bad giving him a hard time about Will Stein, which I did. And he took it completely fine. Right.

[Drew Franklin]

And mentioned my guy Manny here before. He was a big Panthers. Bryce Young fan.

[Matt Jones]

And Bryce Young, that was cool.

[Drew Franklin]

I told him that. He pulled me aside. He's like, let's get a picture and send it to his friends and family. And I'm like, that is just so.

[Matt Jones]

That was really nice because you, for People who don't know. Drew's friend Manny was a big Panthers fan, and Bryce Young wanted to, like, do something for. For his family. How nice is that?

[Drew Franklin]

I said, bryce, I know you played well, but Manny actually carried you to the playoffs. Just need you to know that. He took it in stride and said, let's send a picture to everyone.

[Matt Jones]

So that was. That was. That was great. The Stevie Johnson thing, though, maybe the highlight. So we're. We're sitting there, and we see a guy wearing this ridiculous Buffalo Bills like Fred Flintstone had, and we go look at that guy, and then all of a sudden, I think you said, it's Stevie Johnson.

[Drew Franklin]

Oh, I screamed. I threw my fly guy hands together immediately.

[Matt Jones]

So we stand up and we do the fly guy. He sees us, comes running over, pulls off his Buffalo Bills hat and has a Kentucky hat in the Bills hat. My man was walking around with with a Kentucky hat in his Bills hat, which shows he loves Kentucky. Who does that, right?

[Drew Franklin]

And he was pretty far away. I don't know what he was supposed to be doing. He sprinted to us, came under a little rope area we had. You were like, you got a few minutes? Of course I have a few minutes.

[Matt Jones]

So he sits down with us. He was not on the schedule, and it was a great conversation. You can hear it. It's on the COVID Zero podcast. It's the very first thing, so you definitely want to hear that. And while you're doing it, go ahead and subscribe to it. That would be nice.

[Drew Franklin]

He.

[Matt Jones]

He. You brought up the rap. He did before the LSU game.

[Drew Franklin]

I might be one of three people that still listen to that regularly.

[Matt Jones]

You brought it up. And in one of the most amazing things I've ever seen, he remembered the whole thing and did it right there with Drew chipping in throughout. I don't know what's more impressive, that he remembered it or that you remembered it.

[Drew Franklin]

Got the whole town yelling, big blue. It's true.

[Matt Jones]

But that.

[Drew Franklin]

I mean, as cool as the stuff on the set was, you might be right.

[Matt Jones]

The.

[Drew Franklin]

Just the surprise of the impromptu interview of Stevie Johnson and him remembering that song almost 20 years later.

[Matt Jones]

And I got to tell Stevie Johnson that Stevie got loose came from us. He didn't know. He knew. He knew it came from somewhere, and he knew it. But I was like, stevie, that came from my friend who was drunk in the parking lot going, steve got Lou. And he was like, no way. He was like, I've always wondered. And I got to tell him that Philly, that. I mean, you're Too young to appreciate how awesome that was, but that was awesome.

[Billy]

Well, you could just hear it in his voice, the joy. I mean, he was so appreciative of everything that Kentucky had done for him. And I. It was perfect. Besides me screwing up the dap in which Mario record.

[Matt Jones]

That was a bad dap.

[Drew Franklin]

You're not.

[Matt Jones]

You're not a dapper.

[Billy]

I appreciate him going in for a dap, but I just.

[Matt Jones]

Have you ever done a good dap?

[Billy]

More of a firm handshake, looking in.

[Drew Franklin]

The eye kind of guy.

[Billy]

Maybe get. Get your business card.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

Someone yesterday replied to a video and said, I had a clean dap. And I got to be honest, I've never gotten a better compliment. That made my day. Cuz when you have a bad dap like Billy, it gets called out. You look like you don't belong there. And I'm not a great dapper either. I looked into it, but it looked clean. And I feel.

[Matt Jones]

I always just shake hands because I, I don't want to have the weird dap. If somebody leans in for a hug, I'll do the bro hug. But I, I try to just. Hello, sir.

[Drew Franklin]

But like, when Joe Milton's got his hand up, it's like, oh, no.

[Billy]

Oh, that was another one.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, you'll hear this. I think it'll be out today. Mario was making fun of me because I asked Joe Milton if. If food gets stuck in his grill. Is that about why? Is that a bad question?

[Drew Franklin]

He was immediately like, no, you just floss.

[Matt Jones]

But it feels like it's a good question. It was hard because we didn't know what to ask Joe Milton. I mean, let's be fair. Like, what are you going to ask him? I. I'll be honest. When he walked on set, I don't. I didn't know who he played for. I almost brought up the last, maybe two teams ago.

[Drew Franklin]

I pulled that Patriots question out of the. You know, when Will Ferrell blacks out and he's like, where?

[Matt Jones]

I didn't know he played for the Patriots. I was impressed.

[Drew Franklin]

Looked into that one.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. And I, I did. So I was like, well, I'll sing Rocky Top to him and I'll get him to finish the word. And so I went once I had a girl on Rocky Top. And he was like, I don't know that song. And I go, how do you not know that song you played for Tennessee? He was like, yeah. Although he did a good line. He said, I heard it a lot when we played you all. I was like, yeah, but it was awesome. And then all day you're just looking around and you're like, oh, there's Cam Newton. Hello. T. Higgins and Jamar Chase. Like, if you look at one of our videos when we're talking to Sean Alexander, T. Higgins and Jamar Chase just walked by our. Our shoulders. That's like every NFL player you can think of. When I walked in, nearly not Joe Flacco on his ass.

[Drew Franklin]

I wasn't even through the door yet. You were like, three steps in the door and you and Joe Flacco just almost collide. He's got all his little Flacos with him.

[Matt Jones]

I almost brought down Flacco.

[Drew Franklin]

The whole Flacco family. You almost took them out as we're stepping into the building, and then you.

[Matt Jones]

See, like random people and. And like, you would see them out on the street. You might get excited. They don't register in there. Like, hey, Brock Hubert. Oh, you don't. I don't have time for you. Listen. Come on.

[Drew Franklin]

Donovan Abs right there.

[Matt Jones]

Donald McNabb. Shannon. Don McNabb. He's. He's not been in the white room.

[Show Host Intro]

Oh, is. Is he not the same Donovan McNabb he was when he was playing?

[Matt Jones]

Some of these guys look like they could still play. Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

Terrell Davis.

[Matt Jones]

Terrell Davis looks like he. Sean Merriman looked like he could still play. Joe flack or. Donovan McNabb's not playing to get the.

[Show Host Intro]

Dad going on at least.

[Matt Jones]

Well, that's. That'd be generous.

[Drew Franklin]

I mean, he does have a. A vault of Campbell's chunky, you know.

[Billy]

That's true, dude.

[Drew Franklin]

I'm not judging him.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, so for life, we did. With all of that said, though, in my opinion, not the best moment.

[Drew Franklin]

Yep.

[Matt Jones]

The best moment was we had a run in with ice.

[Show Host Intro]

The ice ice.

[Drew Franklin]

The.

[Matt Jones]

The vanilla ice cream ice. And. But it's not what you think. And we will talk about that after this break. Cover 0 KSR met ice and it was really an interesting interaction. That's next right here. Okay.

Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio 859-280-2287 Text Machine 772-774-52541 Person writes Matt, my wife and I love your show. We're currently listening to it while getting an ultrasound for our son coming in May. I'm sure the ultrasound tech is enjoying it as much as us. Hello to the ultrasound tech and good luck on the ultrasound and go cats and go baby.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, I know about those ultrasound trips right now. I hope everything's going well with them.

[Matt Jones]

Yes, I do to do as well. One person says Matt singing Rocky Top to cater to a Tennessee player is gross. I've said this before. I kind of like Rocky Top as a song. I don't like your like it when they play it when they score. But I'm I mean I like that kind of music. What do you want me to say? Half bear, the other half cat. I know it better than the Tennessee players.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, if you don't want Matt seeing it, at least he had a Tennessee quarterback admit that he don't even really know.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I got to admit, one of their quarterbacks doesn't even know the song.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, so it worked out in your favor. Even you weren't trying to embarrass him, but it might have come off that way.

[Matt Jones]

I really wasn't trying to embarrass him. You just want to sing one person, right? I think one of the reasons everybody was so nice to you is they thought Jeff Saturday was on the set. Great moment this is. First of all, you do look like Jeff Saturday.

[Drew Franklin]

I've gotten that before.

[Matt Jones]

Former Indianapolis Colts player and coach actually, Tony Dungy came and pulled on Drew's the best way to pulled on his shirt like a little child meeting his heel.

[Drew Franklin]

I was on an elevated surface and someone just kept pulling on me and I'm like what? Who is this? And actually Will from bus with the boys said, tony Dungy is pulling on you. And I'm like, what? And I turn around and we lock eyes and Tony Dungey looks at me and it's clear he has the wrong person. And he is oh no.

[Matt Jones]

He was. I saw this. He was giddy to talk to you. And I was like, have Drew and Tony Dungy been carrying on a torrid love affair that I didn't know about. Like, how. How did it. Because. Because he had that look like, I am so excited to see you. And then Drew turned around, and the disappointment was so palpable on his face. And then there was this awkward. You gave each other a fist bump.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, I looked at him, basically. I think my eyes told him. I realized that you don't really want to talk to me, so let's just acknowledge this mistake, and we'll both move.

[Matt Jones]

On and we don't have to talk about it.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, I gave him that. I feel like we. We had a full conversation with our eyes.

[Matt Jones]

You did. And then he just Bolsted off, and.

[Drew Franklin]

He was like, hey, hey, hey. And then went back to his.

[Matt Jones]

And then went right back to.

[Drew Franklin]

He was just yanking on my shirt, trying to speak to me.

[Matt Jones]

All right, Shannon, I. I want to tell this story. Okay. Do you like you. All right, so, I mean, you. You've watched the news. ICE has been in the news, right? We know what's been happening. What's been happening with ice. So this is not what I thought was going to happen if I. So we're sitting there, and a man is pulling this briefcase on wheels, Like a huge briefcase. Shannon, just to describe to you, think about how big our traveling equipment is in that big rolling seat. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. The equipment, like, for the radio show, right? It was about this big. And he's rolling it through this room, and all of a sudden, he stops, and he looks at me, and he goes, hey, you're the guy from Wrestlers, right? And I was like, yeah. How did you know that? Although, oddly, a lot of people recognize me from Wrestlers, apparently.

[Show Host Intro]

A lot of people.

[Matt Jones]

And I was like, yeah. And he goes. And he goes, hey, yeah, I love that show. And I'm like, oh, you know, so now I'm making small talk. And I go, yeah, what do you do? And he's like, I'm with ice, Border Patrol. And so I try not to have, like, a physical reaction. I'm like, oh, okay. Yeah. And he. I was like, what. What are you doing here? Because, you know, that's been in the news that they were going to be at the super bowl, and, like, there was controversy. I thought maybe I was going to be breaking journalistic news. And he goes, you know, well, we just. We just got a counterfeit Lombardi Trophy. I was like, oh, okay. He was like, yeah, there's a guy out there acting like he had the 85 San Francisco 49ers Super bowl trophy. So we took it from Him.

[Show Host Intro]

That's Ice job.

[Matt Jones]

Because I didn't know Shannon that ice did that.

[Show Host Intro]

Yeah, I thought they were border patrol.

[Matt Jones]

He goes. He looks at me, and he goes, you want to see it? And I was like, sure, yeah. Why not?

[Show Host Intro]

Let's look at it.

[Matt Jones]

And so he opens up this briefcase, and not only is that in there, there are, like, 25 counterfeit Patrick Mahomes jerseys. He was like, yeah, we're just. See, we're seizing fake merchandise. ICE and Border patrol are walking around, just taking fake merchandise like people are.

[Drew Franklin]

Selling, and then rolling it through radio.

[Matt Jones]

And then rolling it through radio row and then just showing it to people. So then he hands us, Shannon, this fake super bowl trophy. Drew and Billy and I pose with it. It says, 49ers dolphins. We hold it. People then think that it's the real trophy. So, Shannon, a line develops of people wanting to hold the fake Lombardi Trophy.

[Show Host Intro]

People don't care as long as.

[Matt Jones]

So we take. So we take these pictures, and then this guy from ICE goes, hey, post that picture. Just make sure you tag ice, just.

[Show Host Intro]

So you know that it's the fake one.

[Matt Jones]

He wants me to hold up a fake super bowl trophy and go, thanks, Ice.

[Drew Franklin]

He gave us their Twitter handle.

[Matt Jones]

He gave us their Twitter handle. So I had no idea that Border patrol and ice. I've been seen on the news. Did you know they seized counterfeit football material?

[Show Host Intro]

I'm not.

[Matt Jones]

No.

[Show Host Intro]

I'm not convinced they're the real ICE that you met. That may be fake ice out there. I didn't know that. Ice.

[Matt Jones]

Well, see, I will say. We did say stuff. One of the guys with the. One of the guys with the NFL did look at me and say, you sure that guy was.

[Drew Franklin]

He had a pin on his suit.

[Matt Jones]

He did have a pin, though.

[Drew Franklin]

They were wearing suits.

[Show Host Intro]

Could be a fake.

[Matt Jones]

They were wearing suits. He had a. He had an ICE Border Patrol pin.

[Drew Franklin]

There were about six of them with this one crate.

[Matt Jones]

Yes. There were a lot of guys. Like, if they were pulling off a ruse, it was a heck of a ruse, but I don't think they were. I. I think they were, because they also had gotten in, so they had to have had something. I mean, I. I didn't know we.

[Drew Franklin]

Had that division where we're going and getting counterfeit Pat Mah jersey. But there was, like, 15 jerseys in one trophy and six guys in suits carrying it around. Like, maybe just let the Pat Mahomes guy have his jerseys.

[Matt Jones]

But we were talking about. Shannon, if you. In other contexts, when people seize things, they don't have the general public, like, pose with it. Like, if they seize $50,000 worth of cocaine, they don't just let people go. Hey, you want to pose with the cocaine, right?

[Show Host Intro]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Like, we were posing.

[Drew Franklin]

When we were posing, like, Jersey. I took Matt's picture. Billy took my. You know, we. Rotation. When this line formed, there was. Everyone was by themselves. So the actual ICE people were taking the photos for each fan. And the trophy they, like, set up, basically a trophy.

[Show Host Intro]

If I were there, I'd be digging into that bag. What else is in there? Can I pose with. With this? Like, what else is in that bag?

[Matt Jones]

I. It was just. It was just a. A thing. I didn't know they did. It's like, a lot of people don't know the Secret Service does counterfeit money. ICE must be in addition to trying to find illegal immigrants looking for illegal Patrick Mahomes jerseys.

[Billy]

And we're cheesing hard in that photo. At least I am.

[Matt Jones]

Well, it was just a bizarre occurrence.

[Drew Franklin]

And it's the Lombardi.

[Matt Jones]

We'll be right back. Ksr.

[Drew Franklin]

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

[Show Host Intro]

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

[Matt Jones]

I mean, I'm not proud that I like the song, but it's a good. It's objectively a good song. Wild as a mink but sweet as Sodi pop.

[Drew Franklin]

I'll sing it on the postgame show a few weeks ago.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, I don't. I. I hate that it's their song, but what am I supposed to do? It's written by two guys from Kentucky. Like, you gotta. What are you gonna do?

[Drew Franklin]

Can we go take it? We just.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, we took the checkerboards.

[Drew Franklin]

So we gave it back pretty quickly, though.

[Matt Jones]

Not quick enough. We kept it for a while. All right, so I stands for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. So customs is materials. I don't know if they were thinking that those jerseys were, like, imported from. Well, maybe they are, probably.

[Drew Franklin]

I mean, I've got a woman in China. Her name's Rose. She emails me all the time.

[Matt Jones]

You get all kinds of stuff from knockoff jersey. You should have just turned yourself in.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, I thought they were there to get me. I was like, oh, no, they found out about Rose.

[Billy]

But the. The tag us on social media on the way.

[Matt Jones]

I like the tag us on social media. You know, they need some good. They need some good publicity. I was shocked by the way. Shannon. How many people. I had three different people come up to me yesterday. And recognize me from Wrestlers.

[Show Host Intro]

That's crazy.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, that show came out three years ago.

[Show Host Intro]

Yeah. But, you know, it's on Netflix. It's out there all across the world. So I guess maybe a lot more people watch that than what we thought. You know, when we were in Chicago.

[Matt Jones]

I saw the numbers. Yeah, Yeah, I saw the numbers. I mean, we had a lot of people watch it, but it was. You know, I just think. Because in Kentucky, people only talk to me about Kentucky. So it's just. But you're right. When we had it in Chicago, and it's just that happened three times yesterday. It threw.

[Drew Franklin]

It threw me off.

[Matt Jones]

So, you know, there you go. One person writes, billy got. Has gotten to hear me preach a couple times on topics when things come up. You know, you heard me yesterday when somebody. When we were talking about something.

[Billy]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Somebody writes Donald Trump. This morning, Matt was at the National Prayer Breakfast and said he doesn't understand how a Christian could be a Democrat. What's your response? My response is my relationship with Jesus Christ does not need Donald Trump's approval. There's nowhere in the Bible that says I need Donald freaking Trump to tell me about my relationship with Jesus. Now I'll move on.

[Billy]

There's been a couple rants on the trip. Expecting a couple more.

[Matt Jones]

But you seem. You seem to like it.

[Billy]

I do like it.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Because you like. You ask me questions. I like talking to you about things because you ask me questions and are thoughtful.

[Billy]

Yeah. I don't know much about it, but I like to learn.

[Matt Jones]

Much about it. All right, so a couple people have asked me about Billy here. Yes.

[Drew Franklin]

What a day.

[Matt Jones]

All right, so let's just. Let's talk about Billy's day yesterday. All right, first of all, you don't get to jump in until we say Billy. What did you think about Billy at the thing? Reversible quarter zip. Wore one half of the quarter zip to the NFL thing. The ESPN VIP party last night. Flip the quarter zip to the other side. Incredible. You like that work?

[Drew Franklin]

I'll say. I was confused because I thought the point of the quarter zip was help with packing. So, like, navy sides Wednesday, gray sides Thursday. But he flipped midday for different events. My brain wasn't ready to see that kind of.

[Matt Jones]

We saw a couple people at both events. They had to be like, oh, this man's wild.

[Drew Franklin]

Because everyone else, you know, same people just saw him a little bit ago. I didn't know who you were.

[Matt Jones]

Blue at Meteor Row, gray for the ESPN party.

[Drew Franklin]

And the highlight, everyone that listened to yesterday's morning show, we were. We were giving Billy a hard time about the quarter zips. Terrell Davis, first guest. He and Billy are both wearing navy quarters.

[Matt Jones]

Shannon, Terrell Davis. They're wearing the same quarter zip. Oh, he's got a reversible color.

[Billy]

No.

[Matt Jones]

When we mentioned it was reversible, Terrell Davis goes, well, I don't know if I would do that.

[Show Host Intro]

It's the same shirt after all.

[Drew Franklin]

It kind of blew his mind, too.

[Matt Jones]

It did kind of blow his mind. Now, I watched Billy all day because I was keeping an eye on. Cause, you know, I mean, this is on this show's dime, or at least the NFL's dime. I don't want Billy spending too much time trying to get other jobs because that's essentially what he was insinuating yesterday. First time he tries to give somebody his digital business card, doesn't work, Shannon. He tries to give, it doesn't work. Awkward situation.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

But then, Billy, you went back to the guy a second time, am I right?

[Billy]

No, you got it a little mixed up. The first guy I met had his own digital business.

[Drew Franklin]

Oh, Billy got reverse uno'd with the digital business.

[Billy]

I tried to give him mine. He had his own. He said he worked for iHeart. He said, that's become a thing. Everybody at I heart has to have a digital business card now. I was like, what do you mean?

[Matt Jones]

I don't think that's true. We don't have three people here shaking their head.

[Billy]

I scanned his card and his didn't work.

[Matt Jones]

So. So, so we're saying the whole system is built on faulty intelligence.

[Billy]

But mine's working and planning on handing it out a couple times today.

[Show Host Intro]

You know what does work? Handing somebody a physical business card. That always works.

[Matt Jones]

It does. That does work.

[Billy]

But what you say on the pre show this morning, Shannon, half the time, more than half the time, you just throw that business card away.

[Matt Jones]

I'm in your phone.

[Billy]

Whether you like it or these things.

[Matt Jones]

You're like, well, at one time when Apple made us all have a U2 album, that's what you're like. Yeah.

[Billy]

So I talked about being a little nervous for this and being really excited, but the Terrell Davis wearing a quarter zip. The first interview calmed me down like that. I knew, like, we were in our element. We got to talk about him thinking food was overrated. So, like, it just kind of. I mean, it kind of became real at that moment.

[Matt Jones]

And then I talked about this on the postgame show. So I won't go into it as extensively here, but then we take him to the ESPN parties where he's literally Shannon in a room with the president of esp.

[Show Host Intro]

That's the guy you can get a digital business card to right there.

[Matt Jones]

Billy doesn't even talk to anyone in that room. Instead he watches the Kentucky game on his phone and screams, way to go, Colin. With two different ESPN executives within three feet of it and about the game. And most of them came over to meet us. Billy did not speak to them. Mario said hello, introduced himself to Burke Magnus, the president of espn. Billy is just over there going, come on, bg, get your head in the game.

[Drew Franklin]

The best is when the most important people in the room were right next to our table. And Billy hits the Mike Breen bang right before halftime with Colin Chandler, president.

[Matt Jones]

Of espn, walks by and Billy goes bang. Colin Chandler.

[Drew Franklin]

Hey. He was excited about the game.

[Matt Jones]

It's like that was. That was your chance. I would have introduced you to them, although I was. I met them for the first time, but I could have been introduced you to them.

[Billy]

Yeah, I probably should have done more networking at that event than I did, but I had a post game show that we needed to talk about later. I thought I was doing my job a little bit.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, yeah. You. There was about a 15 minute period where you disappeared. Were you. Were you going trying to talk to other cup. Did you have a job interview during those days?

[Billy]

No. I saw a couple people I knew.

[Matt Jones]

Who do you know?

[Billy]

Some people from 145the zone.

[Matt Jones]

What is that? I don't know.

[Billy]

It's a station in Nashville that I interned at back in the day. So I got to see them and then we talked about the. The people in Tampa that I that got their digital business card from. But it probably just came out wrong yesterday. I'm not actively looking for a new job.

[Matt Jones]

Well, I mean, we weren't the only ones that thought that. I think pretty much the who audience thought that.

[Billy]

Well, then I got a Tom Hart shout out, stirring the game.

[Matt Jones]

So let's talk about Tom Hart. Tom Hard essentially made Billy his entire game call. Brought up quarter zips, brought up digital business cards. Bought up, brought up trying to get a new job.

[Drew Franklin]

Billy, are you serious?

[Matt Jones]

After adult, are you serious? He brought up lather, which I can't believe he said on national television. That was in honor of Ryan falling.

[Drew Franklin]

For stuff on Facebook.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, he was on one yesterday. It was a Tom Hart legacy game. Billy was a huge part of that.

[Billy]

I looked at my phone, he had mentioned me three times already and then tweeted mid game I mean, there's nobody doing it like Tom. He is the best with his relationship with bbn.

[Matt Jones]

It's.

[Billy]

It's special.

[Matt Jones]

And he. I texted him after the game, Shannon, and said, you sure mentioned Billy a lot, and that's awesome. And he goes, well, I have to help Billy get a new gig. That's true.

[Show Host Intro]

Yeah. You know, Tom knows the people. You should get your car.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, he was. He was trying to help Billy have his chance at his dream, which is apparently getting away from us.

[Drew Franklin]

There was a moment at the ESPN thing where it was just me and Billy, and he had just found out the Tom Hart stuff. I was trying to get a little serious with him. I'm like, billy, this really is a hell of a day you're having. You, like, soaking it in, because, I mean, just as excited as you were for Radio Row. And then, you know, we got there, we weren't even sure what the set was going to look like. And then they had, extra seat. You're up there with us. Got to be a part of everything we did. So you had an incredible day. I'm. I mean, I was happy for myself, but just as happy for you, too.

[Matt Jones]

Let's. I do want to say that for a second, this was, like your dream. Like, you've talked about how you've wanted to be at this event, this Radio Row thing, like, your entire life. Yeah. What was it like for you?

[Billy]

Well, it meant a lot for you guys to include me, to allow me to ask questions, to talk to Mike Golick, the quarter zip, stuff. Like, I appreciate you guys looping me into that. It was really cool and surreal. I mean, I don't think it hit me for a while that I was there and really overwhelming. I don't know about you guys, but walking in and everybody there, it was just crazy. It was just crazy. But it was just a personal goal of mine. People may think Radio Row is cheesy, but that is always something I wanted to do.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, screw those people. Like, there's a lot of people that, like, have been there a lot that go, oh, this is like, no, it's not lame. It's awesome. It's. I mean, if you get to the point in anything in life that something cool and you're like, I don't care anymore, then you shouldn't be doing it. Right? Like, we get to. We get paid to do the coolest things in the world, to come to the super bowl and sit and, like, do this. I mean, there's so much suffering in the world, and we have been blessed to get a chance to like, literally follow our dreams. These jaded sports writers, I want to tell them to all blank off because, like, you could be, you know, you could be doing a million. You could be in the Sudan. I mean, you could be like working in something that like, at least enjoy your blessings. And I appreciate that you enjoy your blessings and you deserve to get to sit on that set and you deserve to the world to see your quarter zip. I mean, like, that's what colors we going with today?

[Billy]

Oh, I got like a brown one that's reversible. So, like, what's the other side of blue? It's a different shade of blue that I have.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, it's brown and blue. Okay.

[Drew Franklin]

Oh, wow.

[Matt Jones]

All right. That's big time. Well, if you're now, Drew had a nice interaction at a urinal yesterday.

[Drew Franklin]

[Billy]

Ilia Malin redefining the sport Friday at.

[Announcer]

8 Eastern, 7 Central on NBC. And Peacock.

[Matt Jones]

Welcome back. It is the wonderful Kentucky Sports Radio, 859-280-2287. Text machine is 772-774-5254. Rob Dillingham was just traded to the Chicago Bulls. It's probably good for him. He'll get to play, probably play through some of his mistakes and he really hasn't been able to get consistent run because Minnesota's too good. You know, it's been tough for him. He's only been in the league for, for two years and just already traded. It's unfortunate.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, I thought he'd have a little bit of a slight breakout this season in year two, but just hadn't had his opportunities. He looked good last summer in the summer league, and Wolves fans were getting excited. Just wasn't getting the minutes. So hopefully Chicago and the situation they're in will give him an opportunity to show what he can do.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. 859-280-2287 text. Machine is 772-774-5254. All right, so you. So for people who don't know, Drew has one of his favorite athletes of all time is Derek Henry.

[Drew Franklin]

Derek Henry. King Henry.

[Matt Jones]

And you got to pee with him.

[Drew Franklin]

I did. I knew you put it that way. I knew he was on the premises. I knew there was an opportunity to meet Derek Henry, but this is a very big convention center. I saw him from a distance a couple of times.

[Matt Jones]

I thought, you know what I'll eventually talk about? Guy who's big.

[Drew Franklin]

He's massive.

[Matt Jones]

He is. I mean, like, can't confirm. Looks like, do not want to mess with that guy. Yeah, I can confirm.

[Drew Franklin]

But I go to the bathroom, and it is a. Well, Matt was in there first. I guess I had more water. Matt steps away, and I'm the only person in the. The row of urinals. But then this guy stands directly next to me at the. Not even leaving one between us, which is bad etiquette. And I'm like, who is this? And I kind of just look to.

[Matt Jones]

My left, Empty bathroom, completely empty. And came right.

[Drew Franklin]

And this person was big, and their shoulder was up against my shoulder, and I kind of had to lean to my right, like, dude, big bathroom here. And I look, and it's Derek Henry. It's just me and him there against the wall. And I thought, of all the places, this is the one place in this entire venue where I don't think I can speak to him anywhere else. I would have gone up, said, Derek Henry.

[Matt Jones]

So is there any part of you that wanted to say to him, because I agree with you, you cannot speak to someone while standing at the urinal.

[Drew Franklin]

Like, hey, man, I have every. I have your home away and alternate jersey.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, this is your guy. This would be. I think the equivalent for me would be if I was at the urinal and there was Ellie De La Cruz.

[Drew Franklin]

I mean, I've had years and years and years.

[Matt Jones]

So then how about Rod Brendamore? My. That's, you know, goes back 50.

[Drew Franklin]

You know, I. I drove to Kansas City to watch this man in the AFC championship. Countless Titans games, multiple jerseys, and my first time meeting him in person. We're both a Little. Little busy. Can't shake hands.

[Matt Jones]

I didn't.

[Drew Franklin]

I just walked out, and I kind of. I was laughing because I was like, that is the most ridiculous thing that will happen this entire week. But I didn't get to say hi to him, but I did in some. Can I call it meeting him?

[Matt Jones]

I mean, you met part of it.

[Drew Franklin]

I wish this weren't on live radio. I have so many jokes. You all have even heard a few of them. I just better not.

[Matt Jones]

You had a good one that I think everybody would like.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, my friends have gotten here a lot of those. But, I mean, my. I guess I'm glad I got to see Derek. Meet Derrick Henry. I'm gonna shut up. But of all the places to meet him.

[Billy]

Well, that's the. Right.

[Drew Franklin]

There's one sacred area that I could not speak to him, and that's where we ran into each other.

[Billy]

Have you had that happen to you?

[Drew Franklin]

And also, why did he go to the one right next to me?

[Matt Jones]

I think he wanted to speak.

[Drew Franklin]

There was a whole wall. Take your pick. There.

[Matt Jones]

I think he was hoping to have a conversation. I think he looked really leaning into me. He saw the Titan shirt, and he was like, let's do it.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, I was wearing a Titan shirt. Let's do.

[Matt Jones]

Let's do a test and see if he will speak to me.

[Drew Franklin]

He would have won that test. I assume that.

[Matt Jones]

And you. You did not do it. Now, another thing that's been interesting to watch. Mario has a crush on K. Adams. Mario thinks Kay Adams.

[Drew Franklin]

That was not a denial back there.

[Matt Jones]

Mario has for people who don't know K. Adams is a TV host. She's really beautiful, and Mario has a thing for. He. He talks about her a lot. It's Mario and Bronnie. It's K. K. Adams and Bronnie. Those are the two people. I think Mario. Mario would leave us to date K. Adams and to date Bronnie. And she was there, like, one of the first people we saw when we walked right away. And, you know, sometimes you meet people and they're not, like, as attractive as they are on television, because television can make you look good. Right. But Kay Adams, I will say objectively, is as beautiful in person, maybe more so. And, like, see, I'd never spoken to her, but seems like she would be nice, you know? Seems like she'd be the kind of person that's nice. I saw Mario when he first saw Kay Adams, and he was like a little boy. He was. He was like a little boy that had gotten his first, like, first Magazine. It was like if. If. If a catalog had come in the mail for Victoria's Secret.

[Drew Franklin]

He doesn't know what a catalog is.

[Matt Jones]

That's true. He doesn't know what a catalog is, but he had that. Oh, my. And he. And he did a little Tony dudgy tug on my. On my jacket. Was like, it's a big star. So we all have our people that get us excited. I now know Mario's kryptonite. K. Adams.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. CD Lamb was at the desk. I took a picture of him with K. Adams. And a lot of people in my mentions thought CD Was Mario in the picture.

[Matt Jones]

They do have.

[Drew Franklin]

I had several people.

[Matt Jones]

They do have the same. So maybe.

[Drew Franklin]

Maybe Mario can get in that chair.

[Matt Jones]

Here on day two, we need to try to get Mario a picture with K. Adams, because he's not even for you, Mario.

[Drew Franklin]

I used. She used to be on the Good Morning Football that I watched. I've watched her for years. We'll make it innocent TV talk. And I'll be. By the way, this is my friend Mario.

[Matt Jones]

Definitely single, so you can use that also. You know, she co hosts in the morning sometimes with DeMarcus cousins. That's right. So we know DeMarcus. So you could. We could. We could drop the. The demarcus angle as well.

[Drew Franklin]
