This is Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage and the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety Safe Summer Driving Tour. Now here's Matt Jones.

[PFT Commenter]

Good morning Kentucky. It is not Matt Jones. It is part of my take the part of my takeover. Big Cat here PFT next to me.

[Big Cat]

Morning Kentucky.

[PFT Commenter]

Good morning Kentucky. So for people who are listening and don't know who we are. Well if you actually I would assume those people probably already turned it off because there's always my favorite whenever we do this. We've done this I think seven out of the last eight years for Matt Jones. But there's Always. One comment that says, I heard their voices turned it off right away. Yep. That person, unfortunately is not going to hear what we're about to say.

[Big Cat]

Well, too bad for that person because your listen already counts. Because you were tuned in until you heard the sound of our voice. It already logged you. We got your support. I appreciate it. It's the one that say, like, thanks for letting me know. Won't be listening.

[PFT Commenter]

You won't be listening.

[Big Cat]

Won't be listening. But guess what? You're listening right now.

[PFT Commenter]

You're listening right now. And we have a huge show. What I was about to say that that person unfortunately is not going to hear is your Kentucky Wildcats head football coach is going to join this program at the start of hour two. We have an awesome show today. Pft, Big Cat. There's a lot of things that we can talk about. Mark Pope. Is he on the hot seat? Carl Anthony Towns. Should we have maybe a championship parade in Lexington for him in his NBA title? But I do actually want to start with a serious topic. The Kentucky Wildcats have a new ad.

[Big Cat]

J Bat.

[PFT Commenter]

J Bat.

[Kentucky Colonels Fan]

J Bat.

[PFT Commenter]

Not J, A, Y. Jay.

[Tab Ramos]

Jay.

[PFT Commenter]

First, the J.

[Big Cat]

First name Jay. Last name Bat.

[PFT Commenter]

First name Jay. First name Jay. Last name Bat. Two T's.

[Big Cat]

I love the fact that he's just got one letter in there. It's less for you to memorize. I don't know what his real first name is. If he just came out and his. His par. Were like, hey, this just looks like a J.

[PFT Commenter]

Well, no, it's J.

[Big Cat]

It's just J.

[PFT Commenter]

It's like Homer J. Simpson. J stands for J.

[Big Cat]

It's J.

[PFT Commenter]

It's Jason, actually.

[Big Cat]

Is it. Is it was. Is it JJ? Apostrophe. Jabat. Jat Jabat would be a pretty solid name. Now, I. I did look up some of his. His resume here. The man can make some money for your university. Yeah, it seems that that's the big factor that you're bringing in when you get a JBAT working in your office. You got 400 million for Michigan State.

[PFT Commenter]

It sounds like a tool that you would get from your garage. The jb. You hand me that jbat. I'm having trouble with these shingles. Wait.

[Big Cat]

If you were to pick one letter to be your first name, would it be J? Is Jay the best one? I think zbat.

[PFT Commenter]

Zbat. T. T's pretty good. By the way, call in. We want to hear from Kentucky sports radio fans. Kentucky fans. We love our fans. The Awls for. Pardon my take. Please do not call in if you are an awl. Please call in if you're a KSR listener because we share this with our podcast. We put the best of. We want to talk about, you know, the, the real things that are facing the people of Kentucky, including J Bat. The number is 859-280-2287. All right, best letter for your first name.

[Big Cat]

I want to hear from the people of Kentucky too on that one. I feel like that's a good open ended question. I like T. There's really only 26 cubat.

[PFT Commenter]

Cubat. Q. No Q's. Weird sounds.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, that sounds like that man would take your money. That would be like an online scammer that you'd fall victim to thinking he was a Nigerian prince.

[PFT Commenter]

But J Bat. J Bat is in the building. I also. So you were saying the money that he's raised, which is substantial. I also just basing this on vibes, if you saw Tom Izzo and his disappointment that J Bat was going to Kentucky, that should tell you that you got a good hire Kentucky, because Tom Izzo was not a, was not happy. And Tom Izzo has known college athletics through every iteration that we've had of it, including this new one that is very weird and hard to navigate. So, yeah, if Tom Izzo's upset that he lost J Bat, I think it's JB the teaser silent. If he's upset that they.

[Caller Andy]

He.

[PFT Commenter]

You lost J Bat, I think that's a great hire. Just alone like it's, it's basically. Did I make, did we make our ex really sad? We did. Okay, then, then, then I'm happy that I'm dating this new one.

[Big Cat]

It is good. And I like the fact there's two T's in bat. Yeah, I think that's a, that's a power. Way to spell it. And the man, he does look like if Dabo Swinney ran a megachurch. That's the kind of guy that you're looking at right now.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

He is going to make you some money. He is going to funnel that money to the appropriate locations and do it in a classy manner. He also has winning heritage. He worked for James Madison University for a few years. Got his feet wet there. I didn't realize that athletic directors, that, that's like a career path that you could go down now where you jump around almost like you're, you're a head football coach, where you move from town to town until you get to that final job. My question for you, big cat, now, do you think that the University of Kentucky is that Is that a top job for an AD or is that a stepping. Is that the, the final stepping stone before you get to the very last stone?

[PFT Commenter]

May I answer your question with a question? Is it a football or basketball school?

[Big Cat]

Well, I guess we'll talk to Will Stein about that. Yeah, I'm gonna reserve judgment on it for right now. I want to know what letter you would take to be the first. First your first name, if you could only have one letter. I want to know that. I also want to know what the best town in Kentucky is because I've realized that my geography is not so strong. I know the cities, but I want to know what and not Carl Anthony. What are, what are the best towns in Kentucky? Small towns. And we'll make an official town of the year maybe by the end of this episode.

[PFT Commenter]

I like town of the year. I also want someone to call in to describe to me in detail the renovations for Keeneland. I know that there's been some awesome renovations. The Breeders cup is going to be at Keeneland this year. Keeneland is my favorite racetrack in the entire country. I think it is the absolute best place to go for a day with the horses. So I want to, I want to, instead of looking up the, what the renovations look like and seeing, you know, the video that I'm sure is there and, and the renderings, I want someone to call in and describe it to me and I'll base just how I feel about all these upgrades based on how well the person describes them.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, that'd be nice. So I want to know, is the Burguard, what's that going to be like?

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, no, I, I want it to be like, hey, when you walk in, you're going to take a left here, and then I have to close my eyes and we're going to imagine it all. All right, so we, we'll get. Please call in if you can, if you can help with any of those things. 859-280-2287. Also, call in for any thoughts on JBat. He is the big news of the day for Kentucky and Kentucky sports. Back to one of the things I started with. Where is this a. Where does the Carl Anthony town's Knicks championship. Where does this trophy reside? Is it going to reside in Coach Cal's office in Arkansas or is it going to reside in Lexington? Because I think this is a debate that we now have to figure out.

[Big Cat]

I think Coach Cal is definitely going to have a banner that gets put up in his basement. Well, let me take that back. It Might not get put up. I know that he just kind of likes to lean stuff against the wall. He's one of those guys he's got to go back in case he has to leave town. He doesn't want to have to take things out of the drywall.

[Tab Ramos]

Yep.

[Big Cat]

So he's gonna. He's gonna lean the banner delicately up against the wall in his basement so it can be in the background of any. Any national television hits that he happens to do. He's gonna make his own regardless. I think Kentucky needs to make it first, though.

[PFT Commenter]

I. I'm just. This is a. A joke, a kind of a joke way of getting at an actual real point if you're a Kentucky fan. And Colin, I want to hear about it. Like some of these guys. Cal is such a big figure. Cal is such a force. He's at Madison Square Garden. De' Aaron Fox are just going up against Carl Anthony Towns. They. They shake hands after the. The NBA title after game five. And Cal quotes, tweets it and says la familia, who owns the history of some of these players, is it Cal or is it Kentucky?

[Big Cat]

He's at his first cat.

[PFT Commenter]

Like, are the players Kentucky grads or are they Cal guy?

[Big Cat]

He's at it first. That's the thing is he knows that. He knows the power of being first on the scene. He's a first responder. Ye. Any of his players do something good in the NBA. And yeah, I mean, Kentucky's been on a pretty solid run recently. I think they do need to start. You do need to start lowering banners at your official, like, workout facilities at practice facility, at the. At the stadium, everywhere you can. You need to claim the guys immediately. You need to have banners that are lower. Let's say Carl Anthony Towns, 2026 NBA champion. Anthony Davis, 2020 NBA champion asterisks.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay, here's what I want to do. Shannon. I don't know if we have one specific caller that is like a great historian with Kentucky basketball, but if we do.

[Shannon (Producer)]

Yeah, we do.

[PFT Commenter]

And we can reach out to that person. I would like to do a draft between PFT and I. We're one team. We'll. We'll draft for Cal and he'll draft for Kentucky and we'll go like six deep. Who gets the rights? And we'll draft players.

[Big Cat]

I gotta say, though, if you're going to claim Carl Anthony Towns, you do have to claim Dear and Fox equally loud.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, yeah. Right now.

[Big Cat]

Like it it. That is maybe not the best time to stand by your man with Dear. And Fox. But if you're going to be loyal, you got to be loyal now, I guess.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. No, that was. Listen, it was tough. It was a tough series for Dear and Fox to put just like. No, I mean, that's, that, that's actually putting as nice as possible. That was actually really nice how. What I just said. It was a tough series for Dear and Fox. And then having my voice trail off was me giving Dear and Fox a incredible compliment.

[Big Cat]

It was. It's not the easiest time to wake up in the morning if you're Dear in Fox. Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. No, it's not.

[Big Cat]

We all go through something sometimes.

[PFT Commenter]

Listen, you know what?

[Caller Andy]

Let's.

[PFT Commenter]

Let's look up. Let's look up his. His salary because he's making a ton of money. So that's. That's one thing. Like you, that, that is. I would imagine if you were. If I were in Dear and Fox's shoes, I think that, like, the only way I would be able to. To get over such a devastating NBA Finals where I just had multiple times where I came up short is you walk off that court, you go home, you fall asleep, you wake up the next day. I would need my financial planner to be sitting in my kitchen and just like, slide across and be like, hey, man, just a reminder. You've made $187 million in your NBA career.

[Big Cat]

Here's the number that's in your account right now.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

I want you to. I want you to look at that number and just think about that.

[PFT Commenter]

Just look at it and you're 28 years old and you're in. And because the NBA contracts are guaranteed, you're set to make $400 million.

[Big Cat]

That's, that's the thing. We were talking about that earlier. This, this n people saying, have fun in Cancun.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Like, it's an insult to somebody. Jared Fox. Yeah. Cancun on three. He is having the best time ever in Cancun right now.

[Wix Harmony Advertiser]

Correct.

[Big Cat]

He's just living life up as a hundred millionaire.

[PFT Commenter]

He's at the greatest resort possible.

[Montucky Advertiser]

Possible.

[PFT Commenter]

Like everything you could ever want. Someone set up his entire vacation. He didn't have to like. Do you think the' Aaron Fox had to check into a hotel? He didn't check into a hotel.

[Big Cat]

He walked into his room.

[PFT Commenter]

He walked into his room. He walked. He walked off his plane into a. The car, into the lobby where someone handed him his key card. And then he went into his room with. Probably has a private pool and all that stuff.

[Big Cat]

We probably tried to put the key card into the key thing and then dropped it a few times and then got nervous, dropped it again. Oh that's like I'll come that's how

[PFT Commenter]

grown up what you're doing right now

[Big Cat]

is maybe the fourth time he got in.

[PFT Commenter]

That's ugly.

[Big Cat]

And he's having a great time. You're right. He probably hasn't put a shirt on until like 6pm every day.

[PFT Commenter]

ABS are probably so sick.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, he's having a great time. So congratulations to Darren Fox on on

[PFT Commenter]

being rich but also congratulations Carl Anthony Towns on winning another title for John

[Big Cat]

Calari and where Cal Kari now where is where is Matt Jones? I heard that he was going to every World cup game.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh I thought I heard he was interviewing for a job with mom Donnie

[Big Cat]

oh up in yeah, he might be doing that New York sports czar. Yeah yeah Mom Donnie sports are that's after he I think I saw him earlier this morning. He was dropping green food coloring into the reflecting pool D.C. yeah and then he went up to New York Amtrak meeting with the mayor filling in potholes up there today.

[PFT Commenter]

I think he was doing no oh yeah. He's got also I I he's organizing some no Kings protests around the country.

[Big Cat]

He said something about meeting up with Greta. Yeah I don't know who that might

[PFT Commenter]

be code I'm not maybe Matt could call in and let us know where he is today. But it's a big day for again, the big story for today for Kentucky sports radio listeners is J bat. You have J bat. I think he's going to be great. I also here's another thing, I'll say pro jab J bat. I think hiring John Pat Fitzgerald was a really, really smart move and something that was going to garner some criticism, some heat for how it ended in Northwestern. And to me in terms of College Athletics in 2026, you need a person who is unafraid and you need a person who is not going to listen to the popular opinion and not listen to the critics and just go with what he thinks will get the most wins, the most money, all those things. And I think having a guy like J Bat, he's going to do that for you. So I'm impressed with J Bat also pretty young, 40, 44 years old. So got a lot of he could he can be a lifer at Kentucky.

[Big Cat]

He's got a strong suit game as well. He seems to be at least he might be doing an evolution here. He's always seemed to be a tie guy in the past someone he was at outside guys we're tie guys. Big tie guys.

[PFT Commenter]

We're big tie guys.

[Big Cat]

But I saw when he was at Alabama, he was rocking the crimson tie. Then when he was at Michigan State, he was rocking the power green tie. All the pictures I've seen of Jabbat recently, at least in the announcements at Kentucky, he might just be transitioning to no tie at all. He just might be a cool sport coat guy. Cool plaid sport coat guy. Jay Bat. That's how you get to know him.

[PFT Commenter]

He also. He's a soccer player. He won a. I think he won a national championship. So. So that would be my only. Only downside of J Bat would be will he ever go home to North Carolina and take that job?

[Big Cat]

I've been saying, if you're Unc, you got to make J Bat say no.

[PFT Commenter]

Listen, first day on the job, let's. Let's do a little look through his office and make sure there's no Carolina blue.

[Big Cat]

Well, let's.

[PFT Commenter]

Let's eradicate Carolina blue from Lexington, Kentucky, just so Jabat doesn't, you know, maybe fall back on his ways and be like, oh, I would like to go be the AD at unc.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Now is he. He would have to be dealing with Bubba Cunningham, right? Bubba seems like a guy that will not.

[PFT Commenter]

Bubble versus Jay is a hell of a matchup.

[Big Cat]

I don't know that Bubba is going to give up that. That job without a fight. Bubba seems like he's hell bent. You're gonna have to drag his ass out of that office kicking and screaming. But I think jback could do it.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, JPAT could do anything. Jbad is a man amongst men.

[Big Cat]

Thing about UNC is it's a basketball school, right? And so if. If that's where JBat's passion is and Unc calls, I could see him at least picking up the phone.

[PFT Commenter]

That's right. That's right. Okay. Are we taking a break? Shannon? Do we have phone calls? Okay, so we're gonna take a break, and when we come back, we're gonna start getting to some phone calls. Kentucky sports Radio, pardon my take. We'll be back right after this.

[HomeServe Advertiser]

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to age slower? Like they figured out some secret the rest of us missed? Well, it turns out someone actually did. And it starts with a melon.

[Shannon (Producer)]

Yep.

[PFT Commenter]

All right, we're back Pardon my take, Kentucky sports radio. By the way, this is perfect timing for today. I. So for people who don't know, I have a coffee company called Stell Blue Coffee, named after my dog, and we give a bunch of money back to homeless pets trying to get homeless pets adopted. Stell Blue Coffee. We have ready to drink cans. They are now available as of today in a ton of Circle K locations in the Lexington and Louisville, which I know we don't say that word. The Louisville area. So go to Circle K, buy some Stella Blue Coffee, and save some dogs. We all love dogs, so appreciate everyone who helps. Shannon, we have. What is our next stop? Is it a hard one?

[Shannon (Producer)]

Yes, at 29. 2940.

[PFT Commenter]

All right, so let's do a couple phone calls, and then we will. Let's do, like, two.

[Caller Bob]

All right.

[PFT Commenter]

Get it going a little bit. And then we'll do more on after the next commercial break.

[Shannon (Producer)]

All right, let's start with Andy. Go ahead, Andy.

[PFT Commenter]

Andy, what's up?

[Caller Andy]

Hey, what's up, guys? Hey, Andy, I. I got a question for you.

[Kentucky Colonels Fan]

Mm.

[Caller Andy]

Okay. I had called in and asked Matt and the guys a little over a month ago a question, and it kind of took off, and everybody wanted to talk about it because it was so weird, but it would make you think. And he and Matt said something about you guys might have mentioned it on your show or whatever afterwards. Based on that, I'm not sure. The question is if you. If someone broke into your house in the middle of the night and the only thing they did was hold you down for five minutes and tickle you. They didn't steal nothing, they didn't assault you in any other way, didn't bother the pets, anything. They just left. Would you report it? And if so, what. What would that conversation be like?

[Big Cat]

Is this Graham Platner? Who's this? I. I don't. I don't know why I wouldn't report it. I think. I think I would be more freaked out by that.

[PFT Commenter]

Andy, can I ask some questions before we get to the hypothetical?

[Caller Andy]

Go for it.

[Tab Ramos]

Where.

[PFT Commenter]

Where are you calling in from?

[Caller Andy]

I'm calling in from here in Pulaski county in Bronston, Kentucky.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay, nice. So, Andy, is this your hypothetical, or did you see it somewhere else? Is the Andy original?

[Caller Andy]

No, no, no. I came up with this on my own.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay, so this is Andy original now, so I'm happy answered that part. My follow up to that is, has this happened to you, Andy?

[Caller Andy]

It has not. I sit around and think of hypothetical questions all the time when I have Just idle time or whatever. And I, you know, it kind of based it on books that I read and shows that I listen to on television because I'm blind. I just listen to them.

[PFT Commenter]

I love that. Wait, I have one other question, Andy, about the tickling thing. Are you, are you very ticklish yourself?

[Caller Andy]

I was when I was a kid. Not so much now.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay.

[Big Cat]

And Andy, is this something.

[Caller Andy]

I just think I was thinking of that question.

[Big Cat]

Is this something that you've, you want to happen to you?

[Caller Andy]

Well, no, not, not in that retrospect. Now, if it's a female, maybe.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, true.

[Big Cat]

It's gonna be another question. That's just.

[PFT Commenter]

Guys rock.

[Big Cat]

Like, if a chick, that's a different situation.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, yeah, we know, Andy. Listen, there three guys just talking here. We, Yeah, I like to get tickled by a hot chick. You know, big breasts, maybe.

[Caller Andy]

Huh?

[Big Cat]

I think, Andy.

[Caller Andy]

Absolutely.

[Big Cat]

I, I think that you might secretly want somebody to break into your house and tickle you deep down inside.

[Caller Andy]

Not in respect of that question. No, I, I'm just thinking I wouldn't report it myself because first of all, the police are not going to believe that. They're going to tell you you're full of it.

[PFT Commenter]

I, I, I.

[Caller Andy]

And then you got to go to court. Then you got to go to court and testify against that person and just say, well, all they did was tickle me. Yeah, that would not be fun.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, I think, I think it also depends on if you at any point got aroused. Because if you got aroused while you're being tickled by another man in your house, I think then you just never talk about it again.

[Caller Andy]

Yeah, I'm not getting aroused.

[Kentucky Colonels Fan]

Well, you don't know.

[PFT Commenter]

You haven't, like, there's, you know, the middle of the night, the, the terror part of this. You're being surprised. Like, listen, Andy, I'm with you. Like, I, I'm a straight man. Like, I, I probably wouldn't get aroused. But you also have never been in this situation, and you don't know, like, what could happen here.

[Big Cat]

And so I, Andy, I have seen a lot of the pit. I've watched a lot of ER in my day. There's something called a fear boner. And that's something that I would be actually very, very scared of achieving at that point. And if that happened, I would actually probably be more likely to call the cops.

[PFT Commenter]

Right.

[Big Cat]

Because then I, like, what you, that's assault now, now it's become assault because now I'm, I'm questioning myself, and now I'm in a bad Place. Mentally.

[Caller Andy]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Like, did you make me a little gay now? Is that assault?

[Big Cat]

Yeah, because I wasn't before, Right? So it's like somebody's got an answer for that. It's not going to be me, right?

[Caller Andy]

Yeah. Well, it is assault with the legality part of it, but it's just the whole embarrassment of. All they did was tickle me.

[Big Cat]

I gotta follow. I got one more question about that. Are they. Are they tying you down and are they using any instrument to tickle you, or are we just talking fingers?

[Caller Andy]

I. I hadn't got that deep in the hypothetical of it. I don't. I don't.

[Big Cat]

You know, they saying Gucci, Gucci goo while they do it or is it silent?

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, do they do a raspberry? Are they blowing on your tummy?

[Caller Andy]

And then also, what if you're not ticklish at all?

[Big Cat]

Right. That'd be kind of weird.

[PFT Commenter]

That's probably where you get the boner.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Andy. All right, sweet. We're up to a hard break in a minute. You said you had more hypotheticals. Do you have more original hypotheticals you can give us? Can you stay on the line?

[Caller Andy]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay. All right, great. Stay on the line when we. We're gonna take a break, and then when we come back, I want some more of these Andy originals because that's a great. A great hypothetical. Also, your dogs are barking, just so you know.

[Big Cat]

That's fine.

[PFT Commenter]

I.

[Big Cat]

They sound like they're dogs.

[Caller Andy]

Yeah, no, she's in the other room

[PFT Commenter]

and how many dogs you got?

[Caller Andy]

There's one. She's in another room with the door closed. Here, you can hear all the way through there.

[PFT Commenter]

Got it.

[Big Cat]

Andy, have you been blind since birth or. Or did you become blind?

[Caller Andy]

No, I've been totally blind since birth. All the KSR guys, they know me. I've been up against our million times

[Big Cat]

because that's another hypothetical that we had is if you'd rather be blind since birth or if you. If you go blind over the course of your life.

[Caller Andy]

Yeah, rather be blind since birth.

[Kentucky Colonels Fan]

What about.

[PFT Commenter]

What about be blind since birth or get tickled in the middle of the night and find out you're gay. I will be back right after this. Andy, stay on. Stay on, Andy.

[Big Cat]

T.J. smith, personal injury attorney. Call T.J. he'll make him pay.

[Shannon (Producer)]

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

[PFT Commenter]

All right, we're back. Pardon my Take. Take over Kentucky Sports Radio. We have the hypothetical possibly master on the line. Andy, who just gave us the tickling hypothetical. Now Andy, are you still there?

[Caller Andy]

I'm here.

[PFT Commenter]

All right. So, Andy, do you have other hypotheticals for us? Also? People online are now saying that you want to be tickled. Can we just. We're just saying you do not want to be tickled.

[Caller Andy]

Correct. I hope, I hope it's women and they're volunteering, but.

[PFT Commenter]

All right, okay,

[Caller Andy]

we'll make that clear.

[Big Cat]

Because it did seem to me like me. It sounds like maybe you wouldn't hate it, right? Like maybe it'd be like, oh, no, I hope I don't get tickled.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, stop tickling me.

[Big Cat]

Oh, there's somebody lurking outside the house. I really hope they don't come in. I'm all tied down and very tickled.

[Caller Andy]

Maybe not for five minutes.

[Caller Bob]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. All right, so what, what else do you have for us, Andy?

[Caller Andy]

Okay, so if you woke up tomorrow and for the next year, you would only you could have your seven year old voice or your seven year old body, but the other way, you would have your 7 year old voice and your original body now for the next year, or you would have your seven year old body, but you would have your normal voice. Which would you pick?

[Big Cat]

Oh, that's a tough one all.

[PFT Commenter]

And you're getting your same like brain no matter what, right?

[Caller Andy]

Yes. Yes.

[Big Cat]

Oh, I don't know. I don't know about that one. I think I'd have to go a seven year old voice.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, but think about how weird that would be.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, think about how weird it be if you had a seven year old, but big cat.

[Kentucky Colonels Fan]

What?

[Big Cat]

You walk in, maybe your wife's at home, you're separate out of the shower, and it's like, oh, whoops.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, but pft, this is. We're, we're like in terms of doing our jobs, we're podcasters, but we just have to do. I think I'd have to go body and be like, hey guys, we're not doing video anymore. I gotta just keep doing my job and get through this year.

[Big Cat]

I'll put it this way, my body right now isn't that different from my seven year old body. I'm not a tall man, I'm not a large man. I'm kind of used to that frame. But I, I do think that there might be something in the marketplace for a seven year old doing sports podcasts.

[PFT Commenter]

Seven year old body, seven year old,

[Big Cat]

like a seven year old voice, a seven year old brain, the dumbest kids ever. Yeah, I could sit around a coffee table in the basement.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, but then you talk about never have anyone Anyone see you on camera? Okay, good one. What else, Andy?

[Caller Andy]

Okay, the other one is, if there's three people, you can hit a button and fix it to where three people of your choosing could never tell a lie again the rest of their life. Who would the three be?

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, good question. I feel like you'd have to go with,

[Big Cat]

these are tough ones.

[PFT Commenter]

Some type of politician or something, right?

[Big Cat]

I guess so. But do we really want to know the horrible truth?

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. And also. Yeah, like, this is tough because, like, I would. Would I pick, like, my spouse? No, because, like, then when I say,

[Big Cat]

oh, white lies can be good.

[PFT Commenter]

Does this shirt make me look fat? And she's like, no, you look fine. I know deep down she's. She's thinking I'm looking fat.

[Big Cat]

I think I would. I would.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, yep. LeBron.

[Big Cat]

I mean, that's impossible.

[PFT Commenter]

LeBron number one would be very funny because he'd have to tell us everything, like, exactly how he feels and wouldn't be able to say he predicted everything. I'd take LeBron one.

[Big Cat]

What do you think about your son's game? LeBron?

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Where would. Where do you think he ranks in the NBA?

[PFT Commenter]

Yes.

[Big Cat]

I would like to know. Yeah, I mean, I think our. Our dear good friend Richard Patino.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Might be a good one.

[PFT Commenter]

That'd be interesting.

[Big Cat]

We would have to know some. Some cold, hard facts about.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, I. I would like that as well. And then,

[Caller Andy]

yeah. You know your friend Rick. Rick Patino that you guys had him on a couple years ago? Yep, I've met Rick. He's put my name in his book.

[PFT Commenter]

Really?

[Caller Andy]

Side note there. When I was 11, I was. I was K. Wood's favorite caller when I was 11 years old. And I. I met Patino and went back to the locker room, met the guys, and he put that book Full court pressure. He wrote, I'm on page 18 because I tried to bet a beer with him when I was 11.

[PFT Commenter]

That's awesome.

[Big Cat]

That is pretty good.

[PFT Commenter]

That's incredible. And then my last one would be Matt Jones, just so he could actually tell us where he's going on vacation for once. Andy, you. You, You. You are a hypothetical master. I love that you just sit around thinking of them. We appreciate you calling in any. Any thoughts on Kentucky sports, basketball, football, overall, how you feel about Jay Bat? Just give it to us.

[Caller Andy]

Feel pretty good about the guy. I'm hearing good things. Forward thinker. I wanted someone in there that's younger than me. He's a year younger than me. They're just good at fundraising and We. We definitely need to start doing things in the right direction based, you know, getting ahead of the curve. And as far as the basketball team, I. I was very pessimistic until we got Montilovich, and I. I think that moved him up a few pegs. And I'm not predicting the championship, but I would be happy with an elite eight this year.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Okay.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Is actually really, really good. I mean, that was a huge, huge ad for you guys, especially late.

[Caller Andy]

I was calling for that guy Mark.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

He's an incredible shooter.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Is there somebody in Kentucky that. That you would like to see step up and maybe contribute towards some of the fundraising for NIL that you think has been sitting on the sidelines for too long? Who's the whale out there that we need to reach?

[Caller Andy]

Oh, that's a good question. It's not me,

[Big Cat]

but. But I bet you know somebody. I bet there's somebody out there that Kentucky fans are like, you know what? I. I have heard there's one thing that Kentucky can do, and that's bring back the old school Wildcat logo.

[Caller Andy]

Yeah, they could do that.

[Big Cat]

It's an amazing mode.

[PFT Commenter]

Pft. You're telling this to a guy who's been blind since birth.

[Big Cat]

That's a great point.

[Kentucky Colonels Fan]

That's a great

[PFT Commenter]

point.

[Big Cat]

I forgot about that, Andy. I forgot.

[Caller Andy]

Hand up.

[Big Cat]

That one's on me. And it's a really good logo. Has anyone. Has anyone ever.

[Caller Andy]

I've heard about the logo.

[Big Cat]

Have they described it to being like,

[PFT Commenter]

Andy, you would love this.

[Caller Andy]

Yeah, I heard it. It's kind of big.

[Tab Ramos]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, it's good.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. Andy, you're the best. Thank you so much for this call. This is like, whenever we host this program, we always are hoping for calls like yours, so we really appreciate it.

[Caller Andy]

I appreciate it, guys.

[Big Cat]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

If we host next year, call back in. We'd love to talk to you again.

[Caller Andy]

Hey, no problem. Absolutely.

[PFT Commenter]

All right.

[Big Cat]

All right. Take care, Andy.

[PFT Commenter]

Andy's the absolute man. That's something he does.

[Big Cat]

I did screw that one up. Yeah, it's all right, but it's okay. That's fine.

[PFT Commenter]

And I think he's got a great sense of humor. He's just thinking of hypothetical. I'm not.

[Big Cat]

I'm not treating Andy any differently than I would any other caller. Yeah. And. And I do think that Andy does want. He does. He's got, like, a sign outside of. Of his house that says, like, hey, I leave my door unlocked.

[Caller Andy]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

And my feather primed body ready to be tickled. Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay, let's see. We got another caller.

[Shannon (Producer)]

Shannon, what we do? Let's go to Bob in Jamestown.

[Big Cat]

Andy's. Andy's got the. We don't dial 911 hanging outside, but it's got a feather instead of a gun hanging from.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay, Bob. How you doing, Bobby there, Bob?

[Big Cat]

Bob caller who goes by the name of Bob.

[Caller Andy]

Bob.

[Shannon (Producer)]

Bob in Jamestown. No, he's not there. He's the one caller that Matt said he wanted to call you guys.

[PFT Commenter]

And Bob, call back, please. Bob, please, please call back. Okay.

[Shannon (Producer)]

All right, let's try Brad then. Hey, Brad.

[PFT Commenter]

Brad.

[Kentucky Colonels Fan]

Colonel Cat. Colonel commenter.

[Caller Andy]

Yes, sir.

[Kentucky Colonels Fan]

I'm a die hard UK fan and KSR fan and five time awl.

[Big Cat]

Love it.

[Kentucky Colonels Fan]

During. During Mark Pope's first coaching season at uk, PFT mentioned that he wanted to be a. A Kentucky colonel, and Big Cat did too. Not only. Not only did you all help reunite Patino with the bbn, but because you guys know ball and you're. You have the number one national sports podcast and you portray the state of Kentucky in a shining matter by. Through your supporting UK basketball and the Kentucky Derby. No. You guys love the derby.

[Big Cat]

Yep.

[Kentucky Colonels Fan]

We had to. We had to make it happen. So, yeah, congrats on becoming Kentucky Colonels. Yes, sir.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, you were part of getting us to the colonel. You were the one who filled it out for us.

[Kentucky Colonels Fan]

100.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, thank you.

[Big Cat]

Incredible.

[PFT Commenter]

Thank you. So for people who don't know, we, we, we, we talked about wanting to be colonels. We're like, hey, how does this work? And all of a sudden, one day we have a. Is it manila?

[Big Cat]

I think it's manila. Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

I was about to say vanilla. That's a real fat move by me. The vanilla envelope. And, and it was just two pieces of paper with beautiful stationary ring saying that we are now officially colonels of this great state of Kentucky. And, and you. And you were the one who did this for us.

[Kentucky Colonels Fan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I, I was. I'm a colonel myself. And you all want to know some other famous colonels?

[Big Cat]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's talk Colonel's Colonel.

[Kentucky Colonels Fan]

All right. All right. Yes. Yeah. Wayne Gretzky. Lisa Marie. Lisa. Marie Presley.

[Caller Bob]

Very cool.

[Kentucky Colonels Fan]

Jack Nicklaus.

[PFT Commenter]

Nice.

[Kentucky Colonels Fan]

Bill Murray.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay.

[Kentucky Colonels Fan]

Jared Lorenzen.

[PFT Commenter]

Okay, we got a little nervous Charlie Hole.

[Big Cat]

Okay.

[Kentucky Colonels Fan]

Daryl.

[Caller Andy]

Daryl Waltrip.

[Kentucky Colonels Fan]

Bonnie Blue.

[PFT Commenter]

Oh, wait, wait.

[Big Cat]

We sure about that last one?

[Kentucky Colonels Fan]

Well, there is a Bonnie Blue on there. And so, yeah, I mean, she may have helped some Kentucky boys out here.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Big blue nation. We look after each other.

[PFT Commenter]

What if she took on all of the colonels?

[Big Cat]

The initiative can't talk about the initiation ritual.

[Kentucky Colonels Fan]

Be sick.

[Caller Bob]

That'd be sick.

[PFT Commenter]

And then we get Andy going up and being like, I actually just want to be tickled.

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Body blue. I don't know. I mean, if she's out there, at least we have something to talk to her about. Now, is there. What are the perks of being a colonel? Because we're still new to it.

[Kentucky Colonels Fan]

Well, you. I. I don't really know, to be honest with you, other than you. You have that. The beautiful citation that you can hang on your wall, and you can. You can proudly wear the Kentucky Colonel gear. I was gonna say big pfp. I know you're. You like mascots. Eastern Kentucky University has a. Has a sick, uh, colonel mascot.

[Big Cat]

Let me look him up real quick. You know his name?

[Kentucky Colonels Fan]

No, but it's you. You. I know you've been getting mascots ordering those that you. You should look into that one.

[Big Cat]

I'm looking at it right now. It's just the Colonel it looks like, and. Yeah, it's like Kenny Rogers. Kenny Rogers in a football uniform. I'm in. Sign me up on this one. Yeah, we did. We just didn't know if there was anything, like, if we got pulled over for speeding in Kentucky, if we had, like, a badge that we could flash, if we could start a war with Tennessee. We did not know what the responsibilities were. And also, can we now nominate other people to become colonels? I would like to force people.

[Kentucky Colonels Fan]

Yeah. Off of people.

[Big Cat]

No, no, like. Like, people that maybe that might not be the biggest fan. I. I want to kind of force them.

[Caller Andy]

Yeah.

[PFT Commenter]

Make them be.

[Big Cat]

Make them become.

[Caller Andy]

Oh.

[Big Cat]

Against their will.

[Kentucky Colonels Fan]

Hank. Hank Lockwood.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah.

[Big Cat]

Yeah, we'll see about that.

[PFT Commenter]

Although we don't want him to be a colonel because that would kind of ruin it.

[Kentucky Colonels Fan]

No, I don't.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah, we can't.

[Big Cat]

We can't. We can't cheapen the. The rank of colonel for everybody in the state.

[PFT Commenter]

Well, Brad.

[Kentucky Colonels Fan]

Yeah, yeah, go ahead. If you all wanted to. Yeah, look me up. And I. And we can. We can make whoever y' all want to be a. A colonel. A colonel. I think Randy Moss would make a great one. You have to have their name and address or birthday.

[Big Cat]

Okay, now, which Randy Moss are we talking about here?

[Kentucky Colonels Fan]

Not the one that Zach thought you were talking to.

[Tab Ramos]

Got it.

[Big Cat]

The horse racing.

[PFT Commenter]

Horse racing. Randy Moss. All right, well, Brad, thank you so much, man. We really appreciate it. And thanks for calling in love, you boys. All right. Love you, too, Brad.

[Big Cat]

Thank you. I'd like to make. I'd like to make a horse a colonel, if that's possible. Give a horse an official rank in the military. Like that stupid dog at am.

[PFT Commenter]

Yeah. All right, we're taking another break. When we come back, we'll do a couple more calls. And then on the other side of the hour, we have Kentucky head football coach Will Stein on the show. It is, pardon my take, KSR crossover. We back right after this.

[Big Cat]

Bob, what if it was really dark and you were, you were tied up anyways? Would you just convince yourself that it was a beautiful, voluptuous woman?

[Caller Bob]

[Big Cat]

Yeah. Bob, what's the expectation for the university Kentucky basketball team?

[Caller Bob]

Well, I have high expectations. I, I grew up with, went to junior high and senior high with Kevin Gravy and he, you know, he's right there behind Dan Issa with one of the greatest players here. And so, you know, like I say, we're the gold standard of basketball, so we have to expect the best and get the best.

[Big Cat]

Does that mean that it's, it's championship or bust this year?

[Caller Bob]

Well, I don't know about. At least, at least get in the, the Final Four.

Jamestown's really nice. I mean, it's my happy place. I've been here since 1961.

She gets railroad retirement. Since I'm a former railroad worker, but yeah. Yes.
