She came 71 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 4: up to me at an Alabama Vanderbilt game basketball. She 72 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 4: was a former UK student working in the media department 73 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 4: at Vandy, and she said, I'm going to be moving 74 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 4: back to Louisville. There's anything I can do, let me 75 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 4: And it was the perfect timing because I was like, well, 76 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 4: we need somebody to answer the phones. You want to 77 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 4: come answer the phones? And now she is like one 78 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 4: of the higher ups at on three Sports.

It was fine, but like. 125 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 2: You weren't stealing their questions? 126 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,239 Speaker 4: No, I mean because they ask one question, take five minutes. 127 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 4: One question, take five minutes. It's a much harder process 128 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 4: at the Matt Jones Trivia. But we are doing it tonight, 129 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 4: so come on.

If we're going to start with a UK 133 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 4: sports thing, I think we have to start with the 134 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 4: article today in the Herald Leader about Mitch Barnhart. He 135 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 4: did an interview with the Harold Leader. It's it's a 136 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 4: long one and I don't know if it's if it's 137 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 4: behind the paywall or not. I'm not sure, Shannon, I 138 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 4: have the paywall here? Can I read you real quick? 139 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 4: The top stories on the Herald Leader. 140 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 2: Let's hear it because I don't have a subscription. 141 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,119 Speaker 4: Here are the top stories. I'm looking at the top 142 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 4: four stories on the hair Leader. Besides the Mitch Barnhart interview. 143 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 4: Story one, it's here we designed our new app. That's 144 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 4: the top story, sees it. Story two the reason a 145 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 4: public store brand dessert got recalled in Florida. That's the 146 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 4: number two story on the Herald Leader. 147 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 2: I thought we were supposed to be doing local topics. 148 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 4: We're talking number three, what is Trevor Lawrence's net worth 149 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 4: as the Jaguars quarterback? 150 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 2: And why do I care? 151 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 4: Great question? And then number four Kentucky's rally and Nebraska's 152 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 4: breakthrough national college hoops takeaways. 153 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 2: I'd love that. 154 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 4: That's your local newspaper. Here we go. 155 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 2: That's what I'm missing by not subscribing. 156 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 4: And then the next one is father charged with murder 157 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 4: at Kentucky State. Well, that's local and serious. But then 158 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:38,239 Speaker 4: there's Mitch Barnhardt's interview. So it's a lot of words Mitch. 159 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 4: Brevity is not one of his strong parts. I think 160 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 4: we could say Shannon, he likes. He likes to say 161 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 4: a lot of words here. I read it all I 162 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 4: would suggest, like, first of all, he did their interview 163 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 4: with Harro. I have asked him to come on this 164 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 4: show that we have gotten no answer. We haven't gotten declined, 165 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 4: but we have haven't gotten approved. I also have asked 166 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 4: him to even talk potentially off the record. Haven't heard anything. 167 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 4: So I've done all that I can. Haven't heard anything. 168 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 4: He decides to do it with the Herald Leader just 169 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 4: as a PR strategy. Shannon just simply a PR strategy. 170 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 4: To me, this is an example of how behind they are. 171 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 4: I don't say this to be rude, but I know 172 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 4: how many subscribers the Harold Leader has now. I think 173 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 4: it's sad that they don't have as many subscribers as 174 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 4: they should, because we need in Kentucky a newspaper forget 175 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 4: about sports, just for news. You need somebody Shannon covering 176 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 4: the news of the state. And the Hair Leader in 177 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 4: the Career Journal did that for a century, and the 178 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,959 Speaker 4: newspaper business it's tough. So I subscribe. I'll subscribe till 179 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 4: they close the doors. With that said, if you're trying 180 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 4: to get your message out, Shannon, wouldn't it make sense 181 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 4: to go to the people that have the loudest microphone. 182 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 2: H Absolutely and definitely not high behind a pea wall. 183 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,559 Speaker 4: Yes, I mean the hair Leader is just it's very 184 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 4: nature going to be the place that gets significantly few reviews. 185 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 4: With that said, that's who he talked to. I read 186 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 4: all the interview. Mitch's does not speak directly. It is 187 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 4: lots of words, often very little meaning. For me, there 188 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 4: were two main questions I wanted to read out of 189 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 4: that interview, and I didn't really get the answer to 190 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 4: either one of them. Question one was basically, and the 191 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 4: most important, does the deal with JMI make it to 192 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 4: where we can still get basketball recruits right yesterday? And 193 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 4: this timing is probably unfortunate. Christian Collins, So Kentucky, for 194 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 4: if you're not following basketball recruiting, Kentucky has two guys 195 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 4: that are amongst the best players in the country that 196 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,319 Speaker 4: it has been assumed for months we were going to 197 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 4: get to top ten players that at various points people 198 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 4: have just assumed we're going to Kentucky, Tyrone Stokes and 199 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 4: Christian Collins again, if you haven't followed it. Duke has 200 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 4: their guys, they've all signed. Carolina has their guys, they've signed, 201 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 4: Kansas has their guys, they've signed. Everyone has signed except 202 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 4: our guys. But the assumption has been we were going 203 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 4: to get these two dudes. Christian Collins was the one 204 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 4: that was seen to be a lock like done deal. 205 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 4: People had already put out the gifts saying he's a cat. 206 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 4: Yesterday the recruiting insiders all pulled their gifts from Christian 207 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 4: Collins and basically said it's back open. Not good, right right? 208 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 2: Yeah. It makes you wonder what some of. 209 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 4: The recruiting insiders have basically said. He can't get a 210 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 4: deal done with Kentucky. Now I don't know, because I'm 211 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 4: not part of that process, but the recruiting people who 212 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 4: that's what they do, they say so to me, that 213 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 4: interview becomes even more important. I still would admit to 214 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 4: you I don't totally understand UK's deal with JMI. I mean, 215 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 4: I understand their deal, I don't understand how it pertains 216 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,559 Speaker 4: to the nilpiece. They've done away with the private collectives 217 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,319 Speaker 4: at UK. Most schools still have one. We do not 218 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 4: We've done away with it. It's all in house, and 219 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 4: Jami has this deal and Mitch tries to explain it 220 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 4: in the article. I think Shannon, he uses so many 221 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 4: words that I don't know what they mean. You know 222 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 4: what I mean? When you just we just keep talking 223 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 4: and so you don't understand. 224 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 2: Yep, yep, that's kind of. 225 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 4: How we talk. 226 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:30,439 Speaker 2: I'm sorry. 227 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 3: Sometimes you just need it to be explained to you 228 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 3: as if you were a fifth grader, like exactly. 229 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 4: And I could explain about sixty percent of the deal 230 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 4: to everyone as a fifth grader, but I think it 231 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 4: would be kind of boring. Maybe we'll do a podcast 232 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 4: on it one time. Here is the question that matters 233 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,559 Speaker 4: the most. This is what matters the most as you're 234 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 4: following this, there is one question that matters. In the 235 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 4: article on Kentucky Sports Radio dot Com, agents are quoted 236 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 4: as saying JMI is asking us to sign papers that 237 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 4: these other schools are not restricting our ability to sign 238 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:13,599 Speaker 4: in AILE deals with non UK affiliated partners, and basically 239 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:18,559 Speaker 4: we're not doing that. Now that's the agent side, Channon, 240 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 4: that's not UK side. So the next question is okay, UK? 241 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:29,439 Speaker 4: Is that true? Yes or no? And he doesn't. 242 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 2: Answer is nobody. So that wasn't even asked. 243 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 4: It's not asked, but he doesn't ask it directly. He says, 244 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 4: are players prevented from signing with other UH non affiliated businesses? 245 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 4: And Mitch says, no, that's not true. But that's not 246 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 4: the question that is obvious. The question is when we 247 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 4: recruit a player and we say we you will get 248 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 4: this much money at UK because every school's doing that, 249 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 4: Shannon right, They're going you'll get two million, you'll get 250 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 4: two and a half, you'll get one whatever. When we 251 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 4: have that conversation, are we forcing them to sign a 252 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 4: document to get that money that no one else is 253 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 4: The question is not once you're here, can you go 254 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 4: get other stuff? I think everybody agrees the answer to 255 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 4: that is yes. The question is when we are guaranteeing 256 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 4: you the money to play here, and let's all be honest, 257 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 4: that is what's happening. Are you free when you take 258 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 4: that money to also go to do other things? UK 259 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 4: will take a kid and let them do whatever they want, 260 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 4: But the question is, with the guaranteed money, are you 261 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 4: free to do what you want? Does that make sense? Yeah? Yeah, 262 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 4: And that question is not answered in that article and 263 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 4: it's not asked directly. It's asked whether or not they 264 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 4: can do other things, but it's not asked can they 265 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 4: do other things after that they've taken your money. 266 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 3: Clearly there has got to be something in there, because 267 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 3: other schools, all these other blue bloods already have players 268 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 3: already here, and we're the only one that still. 269 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 4: And we don't And I don't know the answer to 270 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 4: that question, and they've not answer answered it. And then 271 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,839 Speaker 4: the second question that's not answered is are you coming back? 272 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 4: Are you resigning? And I'm gonna read you after the 273 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 4: break his answer on that one, because that's an amazing 274 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 4: that's a yes or no? Are you going to be 275 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 4: the ad next year? What would you say? Yes? 276 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 2: Yes or no? 277 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 4: Wait till I read you his answer, and tell me 278 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 4: when it's over if you decipher a yes or a no. 279 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 2: Okay, all right, all right? 280 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, So all I can say is I've told you 281 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 4: what I know about it. I've parsed that article as 282 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 4: best as I could. This morning. I couldn't really get 283 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 4: an answer to either of those questions. I've asked him 284 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 4: to come on here. They have not responded. I have 285 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 4: to assume that means they're not going to at least now. 286 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 4: But we've tried, and it is what it is. Eight 287 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 4: if I'm nine, twenty two eighty seven, it's an ask 288 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 4: anything Wednesday. We will take your questions. We will give 289 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 4: you the answers, at least the best we know him. 290 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 4: Next here on CHAOSO.

The hard thing 429 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 4: for me about volleyball is I never know if we've 430 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,479 Speaker 4: won or lost the point because our players celebrate the 431 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 4: same either way. 432 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 2: That's right, they really do. 433 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 4: They really do. Both teams clap no matter whether they 434 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:23,479 Speaker 4: score or not. 435 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 2: It's really the happiest sport I've ever watched. 436 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 4: I mean it is.

I don't want you to know. We're thinking 449 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 6: about your family up this way, man, Thank you, but 450 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 6: you kind of answered my question earlier in the show. 451 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 6: I was calling about the recruiting. You know, I'm kind 452 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 6: of worried about that. Is there any way you could 453 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 6: get a coach or coaching some of the staff on 454 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 6: to explain, well, it's time they. 455 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 4: Can't talk about they can't talk about individual players. I mean, 456 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 4: I think once the roster is built at the end 457 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,199 Speaker 4: of the year, then I am going to say to 458 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 4: Mark Pope in an interview, how's this working. And because 459 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 4: here's the thing, you could argue we shouldn't recruit these 460 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 4: elite freshmen anymore. I'll listen to the argument. But the 461 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 4: thing is he has recruited them. He's recruited like six 462 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 4: or seven and tried, and if we get none of them, 463 00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 4: then that's an issue. A five nine two eight oh 464 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 4: two for eighty seven open lines will be right back. TJ. Smith, 465 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 4: personal injury attorney called TJ. 466 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 2: He'll make them pay now. 467 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 3: More of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. 468 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 2: Here's Matt Jones, Welcome. 469 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 4: Back, Take you Sports Radio. Some questions from the text 470 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,479 Speaker 4: machine seven seven two seven seven four five two five 471 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 4: four one person rights. No one knows the JMI deal. 472 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 4: Let me ask you a question, what was the reason 473 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 4: and the best of to the best of your ability, 474 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 4: for why UK signed it. I think that's fairly easy. 475 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 4: JMI provided a backstop in terms of financial support, and 476 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 4: it was probably one that UK believes they needed. From 477 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 4: what I've seen of the JMI deal, and granted, I 478 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 4: give myself the ability to modify this when I learn 479 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 4: more about it. I think it's a really good deal 480 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 4: for ninety five to ninety seven percent of the student 481 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 4: athletes at UK. It provides an athlete that doesn't have 482 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 4: a lot of market value him or as him or 483 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 4: herself a chance to make some money. So I think 484 00:23:55,080 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 4: it's a really good deal for women's basketball, baseball, volleyball, 485 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 4: and most of football, probably almost all of football. I 486 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 4: think the JM idea works for those people. The question 487 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:15,360 Speaker 4: is does it work for elite basketball recruits, the elite 488 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 4: basketball recruits who themselves have market value? Does it work 489 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 4: for them? And right now the answer for me seems 490 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 4: to be no, and that's why they're not getting these guys. 491 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 4: So the question is going to be will it be 492 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 4: modified for the elite guys? And we'll have to see, 493 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 4: and maybe it already is. But nobody's answered the question, 494 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 4: so I don't know. One person writes, Matt, you talk 495 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 4: a lot about your fellowship. It sounds cool. How did 496 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 4: you get chosen, Shannon? They just called me one day 497 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 4: they read an article you may remember. You remember there 498 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 4: was an article about me in Politico in like two 499 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 4: thousand and nineteen, about me potentially running for Senate, and 500 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 4: a guy came down here. He made fun of my haircut. 501 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 4: You remember that. He was like, he has a crooked 502 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 4: haircut and he's got a stain on his hoodie. 503 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 2: And the guy who's gonna be running for office. 504 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 4: I was like, man, I bought you wings, give me ah, 505 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,880 Speaker 4: why are you doing that to me? But they read 506 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 4: that article and ended up it was a lot about 507 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 4: how like they were. They talked to all these people 508 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 4: who were Trump voters, who but who liked me, and 509 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 4: so the whole felt it's this woman called me up 510 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 4: and was like, you sound like what we're looking for. 511 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 4: And that's how I ended up in And it's been 512 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 4: a great experience, well, the best experiences of my life. 513 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 4: I've absolutely, uh, absolutely loved it. One person writes, you 514 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 4: and Shannon, Shannon was big on the Epstein files. Yeah, yeah, Matt, 515 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 4: wouldn't the FBI have already arrested people if there was 516 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 4: information into arrest them. That's always been my view. I 517 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 4: always have thought the Epstein thing. While it's so odd 518 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 4: to me that they won't release the files, I also think, 519 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 4: like I always think it's been overblown, but it's but 520 00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 4: the it's like the dog that catches the what's the 521 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 4: dog that catches the car? Like you catch the car, 522 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 4: doesn't know what are you going to do? 523 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 2: Is know what to do with it once it catches. 524 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 4: So like all these people were rambling about the Biden 525 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 4: administrations hide in the Epstein files, then they got them, 526 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,439 Speaker 4: and then they haven't done anything either. They caught the car, 527 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 4: and like you could say, well it's such a huge 528 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 4: conspiracy they don't want to release it, or you could say, 529 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 4: like I do that. Like there's not as much juicy 530 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 4: stuff as people said there was. 531 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 3: There's no list according to the latest that we're hearing, 532 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 3: there's no list at all. 533 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 4: But see the woman that's the Attorney General, Pam Bondi, 534 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 4: she said there was a list. So now they're saying 535 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,360 Speaker 4: there's not, Well, then how do you explain that six 536 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:38,439 Speaker 4: months ago you said there. 537 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 2: Was I don't even know what to believe anymore. 538 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 4: That's the problem, and then nobody will believe anything. That's 539 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 4: what I've always told you about conspiracy theories why I 540 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 4: don't like them. You create so much confusion that nobody 541 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 4: believes anything, and that's actually not good for society in 542 00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 4: my opinion. Shannon, did you see the video of the 543 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 4: guy who's a dart player in England and loses and 544 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 4: beats up his table? 545 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 2: No, No, you need to look this up. 546 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 4: Look, there's a guy he's playing darts in England, one 547 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 4: of those dart matches like I went to where everybody screams, and. 548 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 2: He's like like all that, I'm watching it right now. 549 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 4: And he loses and he just takes his fist and 550 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 4: he starts beating the I mean beating the table.

Kurt, 583 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 4: go ahead, Kurt. 584 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 9: Hi Matt, second time, really long time from well, thank you. 585 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 9: I have a question that you may have already talked 586 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,239 Speaker 9: about on your Gamling podcast. Which I didn't unfortunately listen to. 587 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 9: What did What are your honest thoughts on the Raiders 588 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 9: kick against the Broncos two weeks ago when they kicked 589 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 9: the field goal to cover the spread? 590 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 4: So is that the game? They were down ten and 591 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 4: they kicked a field goal and it made it three 592 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 4: or excuse me, it was they made it seven, but 593 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 4: the spread was seven and a half. Is that right? 594 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 9: Yes, sir? 595 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 4: Was there any time left on the clock. 596 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 9: There was five seconds left on the clock and Pete 597 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 9: Carroll's coach forever, and you know he knew there would 598 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 9: be no chance. 599 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 4: Here's the Here's here's the argument. I mean, the argument 600 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 4: is you quickly do an onside kick. If you get it, 601 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 4: you can throw a hail mary? Was there? Whereas if 602 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 4: you throw the hail Mary, it'll take up all the 603 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 4: time and then you have no chance. I mean, I 604 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 4: it's suspect. 605 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 9: It was fifty yards, Matt, and you know that takes 606 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 9: five seconds from fifty yards. 607 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 4: Oh, so did the game end on the field goal? 608 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 9: It did? 609 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 4: Okay? Yeah, then that's weird. 610 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 2: Yeah. 611 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 4: Is there any argument channing to say, what's better to 612 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 4: lose by seven than ten? 613 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 3: I guess yeah, you know, at least we lost by 614 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 3: single digits, not double. 615 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 4: It is suspect. I'll agree with you. I appreciate the call. 616 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 4: It is suspect. 617 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 3: But I think, you know, there's probably a thought that 618 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 3: maybe you have a second left on the clock, and 619 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 3: what you were saying, maybe you get an onside kick 620 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 3: and maybe something crazy happens. I mean, that's really the 621 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 3: only chance you're gonna have to win if you kick 622 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 3: the field goal and try to go for the on 623 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 3: side kick. 624 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 4: Otherwise maybe you're just like seven seven looks better than ten. 625 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 3: Well maybe otherwise I feel like you're just giving up 626 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 3: on the game if you try to help Mary with 627 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 3: five seconds to go, if you have a chance to 628 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 3: kick a field goal. 629 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 2: I don't know. 630 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, by your logic, I guess I would say, sir, 631 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 4: why don't you just kneel down? Yeah, if you're gonna 632 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 4: go for something, why not go for points that are 633 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 4: actually realistic? 634 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 6: Right? 635 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 4: Yeah? 636 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 2: Or maybe there was money on the game, yeah, or. 637 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 4: Maybe Pete Carroll's on the game. I think that's less likely. 638 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 4: But no, no, Bob and James down, go ahead? Bob 639 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 4: had what about. 640 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:06,719 Speaker 7: These stickle fans? I was out in Kansas City pickle fans. 641 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 4: What's a pickle fan? 642 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,959 Speaker 7: Listen to sports radio and I couldn't believe how they 643 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,239 Speaker 7: were running down the Chiefs. I mean it's just you 644 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 7: know they were and that was before Moans and they're 645 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 7: getting beat twice by Texas and the Cowboys. 646 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 4: Well, I mean we're the same way though. I mean 647 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 4: when we're good one year, I mean last year we 648 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 4: made the Sweet sixteen, and now this year we're upset. 649 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 4: I think that's just the nature of fans. You want 650 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 4: to be good in the year that you're in, and 651 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 4: so like, even if you won every championship the year 652 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 4: before the year that you're in, you're gonna be like, 653 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 4: we want to win this year too. 654 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 7: A real fan supports a team regardless. I've been a 655 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 7: Bengals fan for years, and you know their record. They've 656 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 7: been to the super Bowl twice. But a real fan 657 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 7: is a fan. They don't tickle. 658 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 4: Now, I don't know if you're a real fan. Been 659 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 4: the Super Bowl three times? Kenny Anderson made it boomera 660 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 4: size and made it, and Joe Burrow made it. 661 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 5: Yeah that's right, I forgot it. 662 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, I appreciate the call. You're not a real fan, 663 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 4: not a real Fanha, you don't even know. Yeah, I mean, 664 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 4: that's the only thing you can know, is a bingle 665 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 4: fan is how many times you've been in the super Bowl. 666 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 4: There's nothing else to know. Yeah, you never won. 667 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 2: Happens maybe twice a lifetime, three times a lifetime. It 668 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 2: depends on how old you are. 669 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 4: Tom, go ahead, Tom, Hey, Matt, how you doing good. 670 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 5: I want to give a little insight as far as 671 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 5: JAMI goes. And this is years and years ago. I 672 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 5: used to work for International Management Group and I was 673 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 5: curious for people who don't. 674 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 4: Know that was the company that existed I'MG before JMI. 675 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 4: That was Kentucky's rights holder before JMI. 676 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,080 Speaker 5: And they're also basically the kind of the founder of 677 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 5: sports marketing through Mark mccarmick. And of course you represented 678 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 5: Arnold Palmer, Nicholas and Player and I worked. I was 679 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 5: one of the first employees that worked in basically our track 680 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 5: and field division, and we basically took this opinion back 681 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 5: and field pro My opinion is that it's a very close, 682 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 5: almost incestuous relationship. If you look at the president of 683 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 5: JMI and the person who's head of n i L, 684 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 5: they're both former UK employees I see a little bit 685 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 5: in regards to baseball marketing, but not a lot of 686 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 5: Like at IMG, we had so many different divisions within 687 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 5: golf track tends, whatever, and and and and also TV, 688 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 5: there was a big cross fertilization of lead from different companies. 689 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 5: My fear is is that you know, you can only 690 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 5: go back to Central Banks so many times, and that 691 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 5: you have people who've been dealing with the same companies 692 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 5: year and year out without basically any any any exposure 693 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 5: maybe some outside lead. The other thing is it's pretty 694 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 5: clear to me that Mitch was definitely betting that the 695 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 5: Score Act was going to pass, no doubt, no doubt. 696 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:11,879 Speaker 7: He got rid of our. 697 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 4: Tom I appreciate man. We got to move quicker. I 698 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 4: he got rid of the private collectives because he assumed 699 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:26,839 Speaker 4: they were going to be illegal and they're not. And 700 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,239 Speaker 4: that's maybe that'll end up being accurate, but it's not 701 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 4: accurate right now, and that probably has had an impact.

And then 835 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:46,000 Speaker 4: get KSR, bring Zack in, Drew the intern, and then 836 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:47,160 Speaker 4: the kind of the rest is history. 837 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,279 Speaker 3: You know, Zach is still very important to the show 838 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,640 Speaker 3: because about once every six or seven years we lose 839 00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:56,440 Speaker 3: the lost turn to the podcast, and Zach's still the 840 00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:56,839 Speaker 3: only part. 841 00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:58,799 Speaker 2: Did he ever tell us what the password was? 842 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:00,640 Speaker 4: Zach is still the only person who can log in 843 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:01,040 Speaker 4: any all. 844 00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 3: It won't tell anybody else. It's like a secret that 845 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:03,439 Speaker 3: he holds. 846 00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:07,239 Speaker 4: Sally stays connected to you. He still is the only 847 00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:08,840 Speaker 4: person that can log into the podcast. 848 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:13,640 Speaker 5: Drew, go ahead, Drew, Hey, Matt, So I think it's 849 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,919 Speaker 5: pretty clear that nil is an issue. So I guess 850 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:18,960 Speaker 5: my question is what do we do? 851 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,840 Speaker 9: Are we just kind of stuck until this game ideal 852 00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:22,319 Speaker 9: goes away? 853 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:23,320 Speaker 5: Is there anything? 854 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:28,839 Speaker 4: Well, here's what my optimistic view. If they lose all 855 00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,200 Speaker 4: these basketball players, and again, now, if they end up 856 00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,000 Speaker 4: getting Christian Collins and Tying Stokes, I think that means 857 00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:37,400 Speaker 4: it worked itself out. But if they don't, then I 858 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 4: think JAMI is going to have to change their deal 859 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,879 Speaker 4: or UK's going to have to change their deal so 860 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,080 Speaker 4: that they get these elite players. I mean, the deal 861 00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,919 Speaker 4: goes for fifteen more years, so I don't think that 862 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,480 Speaker 4: deal is not going to end. The question will be, 863 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:54,640 Speaker 4: can they if it works for ninety seven percent of 864 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,920 Speaker 4: the players and it doesn't work for the other three percent, 865 00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:01,279 Speaker 4: why not just make an exception for the other three percent. Now, 866 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 4: you k might say, well, if you make an exception 867 00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,920 Speaker 4: for three percent, then the other ninety seven percent are 868 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:08,920 Speaker 4: gonna won it, And maybe they're right. I don't know 869 00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:14,919 Speaker 4: the answer to that question, so but I'm but I'm 870 00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,920 Speaker 4: concerned about it. With these top guys, maybe they fix it, 871 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,920 Speaker 4: But you had like four dudes in this class locked up, 872 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:24,480 Speaker 4: and right now it's looking like we might not get 873 00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,480 Speaker 4: any of them. Eight fi Ive'm nine two eight oh 874 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:30,240 Speaker 4: twenty two eighty seven will take your calls back, Ask anything, Wednesday, 875 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:30,800 Speaker 4: KSR
