I'm trying to get the 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:28.120 thing sell up here. I understand, I completely understand. This 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.479 is one of those things where you're producing and hosting 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:33.800 at the same time. So enjoy a little Mexican food 0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:37.240 later today. It is also the start of finals week 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:40.160 at the University of Kentucky, Shannon. I don't know if 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:44.080 you remember your finals weeks at Lindsey Wilson or at Bellarman, 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:47.319 but some professors allow you to put some notes on 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:49.960 a note card. They'd give you maybe one sheet, the 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.800 nicest professors and they'd say, hey, you can have a 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:55.200 little cheat sheet. You just have to write it all 0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:58.280 on this single note card and Shannon, that's when I 0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:01.000 began to start writing and like five font you know 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:03.120 what I mean, like just to get every little detail 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:04.720 on there so you can pass your final. 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:05.040 Well. 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:07.720 I used to take that approach with every test, regardless 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:11.720 if you are allowed you or just cheating. But you know, 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:14.040 like they say, if you're not cheating, you're not trying. 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.960 I used to try really hard in college, so you know, 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:18.919 every now and then you'd have to. I've seen people, 0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:21.720 you know, go to great links to cheat, but it's 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.320 nice that a professor would actually allow some people to cheat. 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:27.040 Like here's your note cards, here's everything you should know already, 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:28.480 but we're gonna let you write it down. 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:30.920 Those are the professors that you remember, the ones that 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:32.920 you credit for, you know, helping you the most. 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:35.320 I'm sure I still have flashbacks of me in college. 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:36.840 And I think I've talked about this before. I have 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:40.000 this on a regular basis, this this dream where I'm 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:41.680 going to I think I had it last night as 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:44.240 a matter of fact, where I'm in school. I'm in 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:47.480 college right and there's like two classes that I just 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:51.000 did not go to all semester. Long just decided, you 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:52.560 know what this isn't for me. I didn't go and 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:55.040 now I've still got to go another year to make 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:56.919 up those college credits. I'm pretty sure I had that 0:02:57.000 --> 0:03:01.320 dream last night. It pretty regularly, it happens. I don't 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:04.000 know why it happens on a regular basis. I'm in 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:06.239 college and I just don't go to these two classes. 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:08.880 And was there ever a class you didn't go to 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:12.360 or then you failed to have this these dreams. 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.320 All the time. Don't know why I have it. 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:15.120 Just an irrational fear. 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:19.440 I guess, I guess. I don't know. It so strange. 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:22.080 This is a little bit of a taboo of a topic, Shannon. 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:24.120 But tell me ways that you would cheat in high 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:26.840 school or college. I'll give you a couple. Uh, did 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:30.560 you ever have one of those calculators, those TI calculators. 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:32.040 Three? 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:34.440 You can input a lot of stuff into those calculators. 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:36.480 Put like the formulas in there. You know you'd have 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:40.960 to remember certain formulas for math formulas. Put those in there. 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:41.960 Say word. 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:45.440 Maybe I had a water bottle once and wrote some 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:48.240 answers on the inside of the water bottle, Shannon, and 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.720 then you put the water bottle on the actual desk. 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:53.960 Seen people do that I saw one guy he would 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:56.880 wear glasses, but he'd have his glass case and on 0:03:56.920 --> 0:04:01.600 the inside of it he had taped to it case. Yeah, 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:04.960 So I never did that one. You know, I may 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:09.440 have once written down some you know, some answers on 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:11.640 like the desk. Gott gotten into it on the desk 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:13.800 extra early, and then you just put your arm out, 0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:15.120 put your forearm over it. 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:15.920 Mm hmm. 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:18.320 And then and then I had a close call one 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:20.400 time because the professor comes up and he's like trying 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:21.640 to put the paper down and he kind of like 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:24.880 nudged my arm out of the way and there was 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.560 all the answers right there on the desk. Now quickly 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:30.000 that covered it back up again, and you did did 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:30.880 he see it? Nope? 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:35.239 Okay, Yeah, that's a good one. I remember sixth grade 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:36.919 there was a bunch of desks that people were just 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:38.680 writing all over. Man, you would have thought that was 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:42.480 just a notepad right on the good old lean over 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:45.440 and just uh just look, that's a that's a classic. 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:48.240 But there's several ways that I'm sure that we all 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:51.479 got through high school and college, and it's fun to 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:53.440 reminisce of those things. It's fun the reminisce of the 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:56.760 Kentucky Derby Kentucky Derby one fifty one over the weekend. 0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:58.960 It's sovereignty that got the wind that went off at 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:02.560 seven to one odds. It's a great story, Bill Mott 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:06.080 getting his second Derby, journalism finishing second, and one hundred 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:08.839 and forty seven thousand people showing up at Churchill Downs 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:11.679 over the weekend. Shannon, where did you watch the Derby from? 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:12.400 Uh? 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:14.520 At my house party that you did not come to. 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.240 You were invited. You always said you never invite me 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:20.240 to the pullarty. Was said, Billy, you are welcome to come. 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:21.760 And I know that you and Mario went over to 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:23.840 Churchill Down. So I said, you know, Bullet County is 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:26.160 not that far from louisvill Let's just right up the road, 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:29.520 just a stone skip. And you called me on the 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.400 way back and you go, I'm going home. I'm going 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:34.839 to Lexington. And I said, well, don't ever ask to 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:35.760 be invited to a poon. 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:38.320 No, no, no, listen. There was a lot more context involved 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:40.080 in that phone call that I would like to share now, 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:43.160 not much. Mario had to get on a flight at 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:44.240 like five am. 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:50.120 Mario to go to the back gallon Mario your scapegoat Matt. 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.000 And Drew and he's like, I got to get home, Billy, 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:53.760 I ain't got time to go to the Shannon of 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:56.640 the Dude's house party. But I'm like, I've got to go. 0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:58.479 I mean, I've said on the air that I'm going 0:05:58.520 --> 0:05:58.839 to this. 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:01.680 Should have opened up uber and said there you go. 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:04.600 Here's right, ubed him back to Lexington. 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.920 Yeah, exactly, that's okay. I'm a little hurt. I'll get 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:10.240 over it, but I'll never invite you to a party again. 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.960 No, no, no, I need the invite. I want to come all. 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:16.120 The invite you had, the the invite was there, all right, 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:19.039 you didn't come over, So no, no more invites for 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:19.719 Billy r Sports. 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:19.800 No. 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:23.000 Look, I mean I was there from like seven to seven, 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:25.360 so it was a long day. It's been a long week. 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:27.800 Mario had to get home get some beauty rests. So 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:30.839 that is why I did not show up. But I 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:32.880 did have a really good time with Mario. I don't 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:34.960 know if you saw anyed the pictures. We were posting 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:37.560 a lot of stuff. I was worried at first though, 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:40.280 because it was pouring down rain when we got there. 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:42.400 We got there way too early, maybe three or four 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:45.320 hours before we even needed to get there, and I 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:47.520 mean we needed that PONN show. I mean it was 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:49.760 pouring down and we thought this was going to happen 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:50.799 the entire day. 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:53.320 We were a little down in the dumps. 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:56.000 Mario's first derby, I thought he maybe expected it was 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:57.600 going to be all day. But the rain let up 0:06:57.640 --> 0:06:59.600 maybe a little bit. It just kind of sprinkled for 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:01.560 the rest the day, and I think he had a 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:03.279 really good time. He did a good job getting some 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:07.400 good interviews, Shannon. I got the jockeys again, stopping the 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:09.520 guys in the hallway, the only place that I'm taller 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:10.240 than anybody else. 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:13.640 According to Matt Jones, did you get some good questions in? 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:16.600 Oh I got some great questions in Shannon. What was 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:20.960 your favorite interview? Well, I got the derby winner again. 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:24.480 You interviewed the horse. No, no, not the horse, the jockey. 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:28.200 Congratulations horse. What did jockey you have to say? Well, 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:29.440 I have the interview. Do you want to play a 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:31.000 little bit of it? Can we play some of it? 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:31.360 Shannon? 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:32.920 Or is it too me to me to play my 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:34.640 jockey interview? Here in the first secn? 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:36.400 How long is it? 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:38.920 It's a minute forty give. 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:41.880 Me your best thirty seconds. Okay, I'll give you. 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:43.960 The first question, because the first question is the best 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:47.720 answer of it. It actually was a really sweet answer Junior Alvarado, 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:50.680 who won his first Kentucky Derby on Saturday. All Right, 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:52.280 you have let me set the scene for a second 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:54.120 because I'm in the paddock area of Shannon. I've got 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.360 this ridiculous red hat on. Did you happen to see 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:58.200 the hat that I had over the weekend? 0:07:58.280 --> 0:07:59.160 I'll look you up here. 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:02.360 I've got this ridiculous newsboy hat on, just kind of 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:04.880 like I did last year. And I'm standing in the 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.600 paddock area and that and the jockeys, you know, they're 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:10.360 not like waiting to be interviewed. They're just walking to 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:13.720 the locker room before their next race. So you've got 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:15.840 to kind of ambush them, Shannon. You've got to kind 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:17.760 of guilt trip them a little bit into, you know, 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:20.960 walking and talking Hey can I get sixty seconds? You know, hey, 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:23.280 can I get one question real quick? A lot of 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.680 times they've got another undercard to race, so they're trying 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:27.360 to get back to the locker room. So you've got 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:30.240 to be quick with it. So Shannon, I'm just ambushing 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:32.600 random people, trying to look up who's who to see 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:35.360 if I can get the jockey's right name. And let's 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:37.520 play the interview of a Junior Alvarado. I'll play at 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:39.680 least the first question here. All right, I'm in the 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:43.880 paddic area with Junior Alvarado. He is on sovereignty later today, 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:44.520 are you? Junior? 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:45.720 Yeah? Very well today. 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:47.839 You know I don't all rain today, so I have 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:49.120 to deal with that today, I guess. 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:52.080 Try to describe the energy when you come down that 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:53.760 final turn during the Kentucky Derby. 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:57.839 What's it like? You know they closests. I'd been as unit. 0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:01.160 It's being four in twenty sixteen, and he's definitely an 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:04.240 unbelievable experience. You know, I feel almost like a winner 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:06.640 just finishing four that day. You know how the crowd was, 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:08.520 you know, I started yelling when when you hit the 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:10.560 five sixteen pall and you know, like I said, it 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:13.400 is and the contrain that is on the other track 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:16.200 where you can experience this like in the Kentucky Derby. 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:17.440 So how cool is that? 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:20.840 Shannon? You hear Junior Alvarado say he's only finished fourth 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:23.680 in the Kentucky Derby, and and that's almost like winning 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:27.080 it for him, the excitement coming down the backstretch. And 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:29.840 then later that day he wins on sovereignty. So a 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:33.080 glimpse into what the jockeys are feeling before the biggest 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:34.480 race of the year in the Kentucky Derby. 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:38.360 Sure, that is a really cool feeling crossing the finish 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:40.800 line and man sovereignty just kind of came out of 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:43.280 nowhere in that race. It was. It was really exciting. 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:45.599 I thought at one point my Saandman was gonna have 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:47.719 a chance, But I don't know where he even fel 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:49.200 don't did he even finish in the top three? 0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:51.160 I did, I didn't even see. I know so many 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:54.480 people bet that that the odds were so low, and I'm. 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:55.920 Just trying to get my share of that million dollars 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:58.280 on DraftKings, on DK horrse That's what I was doing. 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:01.440 But it's good you got to interview the jockeys, you know, 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:03.680 I gotta tell you though, honestly, I'm glad that you 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:05.600 did that because I would not want to be there 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:08.560 at Churchill Downs with the rain coming down. I cannot 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:10.839 think of a place I would rather have been at 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:15.360 less within reason than Churchill downs, because you know, you 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:17.680 got to put the suit on, which is not comfortable 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:20.439 to begin with. Then you get rained on, so now 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:23.600 you're walking around in a wet suit, and then you're 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:25.480 you know, you're like me, you don't know what you're doing. 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:27.240 It comes to betting, so you're losing your money. You're 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:28.760 walking around in a wet suit. I would rather just 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:30.959 done what I did, stay home, hang out with friends 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:33.480 and lose my money. There. You were not in the minority. 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.920 I mean, there's so many people I talked to in 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.319 this company, like in this industry of radio that have 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:41.600 like I've been out there, I've done it. I don't 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:44.400 need to go out there again. No, and the rain 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:45.160 just added to it. 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:45.320 You know. 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.280 It's one thing to be at the derby when it's 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:50.880 just it's still raining here in Louisville. It' stop raining 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:51.839 in three or four days. 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.400 But it's the Derby, Shanny, I don't care. It's the 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:59.000 culture of our city. Come on, we mean our city. 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:02.160 You live in Lexington, but I lived in so many 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:09.040 years my home it's Derby weekend. I state what it 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:11.360 is convenient for you. 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.120 No, I did have a great time with Mario though, 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:15.280 but I I'm I fear he is in the boat 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:16.880 that you're in, Shannon. I don't know if we'll ever 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:18.800 get Mario back at the derby unless we tell him 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:20.720 he's got to go. It's just one of those things. 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:23.679 Maybe that you've done it once, you don't have to 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:26.000 do it again. But really the story of the week 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.480 has to be the Oaks. I mean, talk about a 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:30.600 great day in this state when it comes to culture 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:33.440 and when those Phillies are running. Man, there's not many 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:37.440 things better. And ks R h entered the race with 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.480 the ownership group of simply joking. You know, Shannon, you 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:42.880 were a little disappointed. I couldn't get that hat for you. 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:46.200 You know, I don't want the hat now. A last 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:49.280 place horse, I mean, that horse lived up to its name. 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:52.920 Was it was joking last place? It wasn't running, that's 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:57.719 for sure. God, the KSR curse is alive. And well 0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:00.360 we need to burn some sage. I thought we had 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:02.640 cleaned this uption and this is an all timer here 0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:03.400 from the Kasar. 0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:06.160 That's right though. See we own the horse till the 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:09.160 end of its career, right, so it's not like that's 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:11.760 the as drue. But we're not renting the horse, so 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:13.920 we get the horse until the end of its career, 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:16.959 which means in theory, the next one it could win, 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:18.480 and then we could win some money off of it. 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.679 You know, I was laughing at the horse too. I 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:24.160 was like a grief of all the horses, we picked 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:24.760 the last one. 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:27.680 Of all the horses, you picked the last place one. 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:29.160 The guys looked good. 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:31.120 They all had their hats on, Matt and Drew were 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:33.240 dressed up. They made their way over to the oaks 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:36.320 after the show, and then it. 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:37.120 Was not very fun. 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:38.719 There was a little bit of lightning and rain right 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:43.440 before it, and then last place, simply joking. 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:46.240 Here's the way to look at it. It's only gonna 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:48.320 get better from here. It can't get any worse. Right, 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:52.960 We're on our way up. We're on the uptick. You 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:54.960 got to hit rock bottom before you get to the top. 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:59.640 Yeah, yeah, Well I did feel for you guys in 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:02.079 the last place finished, but probably best for the show 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:03.679 that it finished last, you know what I mean. If 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:08.040 it wasn't gonna win, its best that, simply joking, was last, 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:10.200 but it was. It was a great time. Big thank 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:13.320 you and great job to the team at whas Gus 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:16.720 Allen leading the coverage and everybody that did stuff, including 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:18.400 Tony Cruz who's getting ready to retire. 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:19.040 He was great. 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:19.560 You know. 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:22.080 Terry Miners normally joins us on the broadcast, but he 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:24.000 was nowhere to be found, Shannon. 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:26.600 He was. He was rubbing it up with the celebrities. 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:28.680 I mean, he was in I don't know if it 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:30.920 was the turf Club of Millionaire's row, but he was 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:33.240 where like the celeb of all celebs are you know 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:37.760 what I mean? The the Aaron Rodgers, the Chris Tuckers. 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:40.520 How did he get in there? I love it, but 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:42.280 I don't know all about who? 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:42.959 You know? Right? 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:46.120 The ihearn path didn't get you in there because I checked, Shannon. 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:48.120 I try to get into all the areas and then 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:50.600 they say, what is it that your past says? And 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:54.000 I'm like, oh, here you here it is to Lily Billy, 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:55.280 you can't get into the turf Club. 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:57.400 I love that. So yeah, I hear that. The the 0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:00.600 drinks were twenty two dollars for all the the peasants 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:03.400 out there, but then people in like your situation got 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:05.400 to drink them for free. Right, That's right, that's right. 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:07.800 You get a media pass, you can get into quite 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:10.400 a few different areas. I'm not talking like the speakeasies 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:12.760 that Ryan Lemon has access to at Churchill Downs. 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:14.360 But so you had do you had two lilies and 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:16.520 you were toast. So is that your new name? Do 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:17.960 you want to change it? Do you want to pivot 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:19.840 from two most Ability to Derby Week too? 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:22.360 Lily Billy? I think that's very festive. I'll do it 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:24.520 just for Derby Week. But you know I made sure 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:26.840 I did all my work, Shannon before we did any partaking. 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:28.960 You know, some are starting to drink at Julips at 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:30.440 like ten thirty in the morning. 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:35.520 And really not me, and I wasn't even working. Well. 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:37.560 How was your Derby party, man, I mean, you're giving 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:39.840 me a crap for it, but it seemed to be 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:41.120 having a good time when I called you. 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:42.800 It was the place to be. And I'll tell you 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:46.040 like the party, though next to me, was was much 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:48.080 bigger than my party. My party was just like you know, 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:51.480 close friends, small circle, kind of like we were talking about 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:54.160 last week. You know, how many true friends do you have? 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:56.440 Maybe ten, eleven, twelve something like that, So it was 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:58.880 like it was a small get together, but My favorite 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.760 part of the the neighborhood parties that were going on. 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:04.920 The neighbor to the right side of me had a 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:08.640 big party. I'm talking about, you know, maybe fifty sixty people, 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:10.520 cars parked in the front yard. 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:12.160 Everything, you know, the whole thing. A lot of true friends. 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:15.040 Yeah, and or people just wanting to come over and 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:17.440 you know, bet on the horses and do it with 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:17.920 a bookie. 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:18.200 Yeah. 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:20.720 But the best part was the neighbor to my left, 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:24.680 just one guy that lives there by himself. He would 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:27.600 go over my back you know, across my backyard, go 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:30.000 over to the neighbor's house, bet on the horse. He 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:33.320 would win like one hundred dollars at a time. He 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:35.240 come back, he'd watched the race at my house. Then 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:37.480 he'd walk back across my backyard, go to my other 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:40.080 neighbor's house, collect this one hundred dollars, place a bet 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:42.760 on the next horse race, come back to my house, 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:46.280 watch the race. Horse wins again. So he ended up 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:49.280 collecting like six hundred dollars. The neighbor on my left 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:51.880 collected at six hundred dollars off the neighbor to my 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:54.560 right and just kept going across my backyard and now 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:56.640 go up there he goes again. He won, like I 0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:58.400 think he won like five or six races. 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:00.960 It was crazy them out he was on a heater. 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:01.200 Yeah. 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:02.680 I think they had to shut down the party because 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:05.920 he took all their money. So I like to think 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:10.120 that my neighbor to the left basically bankrupted the party 0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:10.680 to my right. 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:13.360 And they're not speaking for a while, you know what 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:14.800 I mean, Like there may be a little animas. 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:17.800 I'm glad that my home separates the two because you know, 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:19.600 if they were side by side, there were probably some 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:20.400 evil looks. 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:23.520 There's gonna some ten the next few months. Yeah, I 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:27.040 mean he did it legally, right, Yeah, spard of the game. 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:27.280 Yeah. 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:30.440 At one point he won so much money that they 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:32.480
