Speaker 5: You may hear in my voice a little bit of
Speaker 5: struggle because we're all pretty tired. It is because it's
Speaker 5: seven o'clock in the morning here. But drew a lot
Speaker 5: of fun last night.
Speaker 6: I had an absolute blast yesterday. I mean our pool
Speaker 6: day felt like a day in itself. It felt like
Speaker 6: two different, completely different days, but we strung them all together.
Speaker 6: We're a little worn out, but we had so much fun.
Speaker 6: You guys look so nice. I normally just see you
Speaker 6: Matt in a hoodie. Mario. You know, we never get
Speaker 6: dressed up, but uh, black tie affair. It felt felt
Speaker 6: a lot different. We looked good. I mean the three
Speaker 6: of us walked down. I mean, first of all, you
Speaker 6: got to start with Mario. I mean his jacket. He
Speaker 6: had strangers. Mario'shannon could have hooked up with every forty
Speaker 6: five year old.
Speaker 5: Woman in Scotts felt like women there.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean like literally everybody.
Speaker 5: They were like all the women like my age to
Speaker 5: Ryan's age, were just going, you look good, and then
Speaker 5: all of a sudden there'd be like a little tinkle
Speaker 5: in their voice, and then they would be like, can
Speaker 5: I buy you a drink at this free bar?
Speaker 4: Mario, all the they were out for.
Speaker 5: You, like women your age. They're a lot older.
Speaker 6: We're a lot older.
Speaker 7: You don't know.
Speaker 6: When we were outside and when the woman came up
Speaker 6: to Mario and said, your drink's empty, and then walked
Speaker 6: all the way back in, got him a drinking, came
Speaker 6: back out. I'm thinking, my goodness, boy, oh what do you.
Speaker 5: Got going on to that? That jacket had him going? Then,
Speaker 5: you know, I don't usually dress like that. Sways, the
Speaker 5: person that said the Swede was maybe a little hot
Speaker 5: for Arizona, I think they were a little right about that,
Speaker 5: especially since I didn't know the party was gonna be outside.
Speaker 5: I was subburb it was I was sunburn. Within forty
Speaker 5: five minutes, they were giving away hats, and after forty
Speaker 5: five minutes, I said, I wanted to get a hat
Speaker 5: because there's parts of my head that they're going, what's
Speaker 5: going on over there?
Speaker 4: So so but otherwise a lot of.
Speaker 8: Fun, right, It's so fun, man, You see that. I
Speaker 8: don't know, like I have so many different favorite parts
Speaker 8: about the day. I love the fact that we all
Speaker 8: dress before.
Speaker 5: You said, yeah, well, go go ahead. Don't give you
Speaker 5: any specific people we met. But besides that, go ahead, don't.
Speaker 4: Spill, don't spell, because I have a big takeaway, but
Speaker 4: go ahead. I was just gonna talk about our outfits.
Speaker 8: Man, The way we showed up in the red carpet,
Speaker 8: and you know it took photos and everything like that,
Speaker 8: and it was like an event that was too long,
Speaker 8: you know, we got we were there for like two
Speaker 8: or three hours and then we got up out of there.
Speaker 5: It was awesome, right, let's start with it was interesting,
Speaker 5: Shannon to go to this with Mario. Okay, because you're
Speaker 5: still there, Shannon, want to make sure, like this is
Speaker 5: a barstool event, So I think you can agree, Mario.
Speaker 5: Mostly white people right, right, like a lot of white people.
Speaker 5: There was like four black people in the building, but
Speaker 5: they all love Mario. I mean, Mario became like Mario
Speaker 5: was like the guest of honor there. When we walk in,
Speaker 5: we want to take a picture, Shannon on the red carpet, right,
Speaker 5: because the three of us are dressed up. There's a
Speaker 5: draft Kings barstool logo, there's a red carpet. So the
Speaker 5: official red carpet walk had ended. But Shannon, you understand,
Speaker 5: we wanted to take a picture of us, right, but
Speaker 5: there's nobody there. The photographers have already gone inside. So
Speaker 5: Mario is just looking for somebody to take a picture.
Speaker 5: You know who he asked to take our picture, Shannon.
Speaker 5: A Hall of Fame wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald. He doesn't
Speaker 5: know who he is because he's too old.
Speaker 4: So Larry's the top.
Speaker 5: Larry Fitzgerald looks at I mean, Maria looks at Larry Fitzgerald.
Speaker 5: It's like looking at Jerry Rice and going, Jerry Rice,
Speaker 5: can I have a picture and then just holding.
Speaker 4: Him the phone and asking him to take it, which.
Speaker 5: Is exactly what he did. He asked Larry Fitzgerald to
Speaker 5: take our pictures. No, Larry just walked on, but his
Speaker 5: buddy took the picture. But that's when you hang out
Speaker 5: with him, you understand he doesn't know anybody. Drew like,
Speaker 5: if they're older than twenty seven, he does not know
Speaker 5: who they are.
Speaker 6: In the moment he did to know. We go to
Speaker 6: the bar and I looked at him. I was like,
Speaker 6: do you realize that's probably a top five NFL wide
Speaker 6: receiver that you just talked to. He's like, oh, that
Speaker 6: guy's a receiver as the game's retired, but that is
Speaker 6: a legend that you spoke to familiar.
Speaker 4: I've definitely seen him on TV or something like that.
Speaker 5: So then we got inside and you know, it was
Speaker 5: it was an interesting group because you and I wonder
Speaker 5: Drew before we went like why did they ask us
Speaker 5: to be here. I still don't really know the answer
Speaker 5: to that question, because even though it was a lot
Speaker 5: of fun, I still don't really know what it was.
Speaker 5: I mean, everybody was just hanging out.
Speaker 6: Even the barstool guys weren't real strue what was going on.
Speaker 5: I don't think anybody really knew what was happening. It
Speaker 5: was just like a party, which I guess is what
Speaker 5: the met gal is. You know, the met galley. Everybody
Speaker 5: sees everybody walk in, but then you don't really know
Speaker 5: what's going on inside. Are they looking at art? Are
Speaker 5: they just just standing there? That's kind of how this was.
Speaker 5: You walk inside. At least there were games on, right
Speaker 5: the Knicks played the Celtics, the Nuggets played the Thunder
Speaker 5: and so there were games on. But otherwise, you know,
Speaker 5: you're just standing there. And it was interesting to me
Speaker 5: because I only knew a handful of people, but I
Speaker 5: ended up in a lot of conversations. And there are
Speaker 5: conversations where you just don't know what to say to people,
Speaker 5: right Like, you go, hey you, I know you, and
Speaker 5: they're like, hey, you're the Kentucky guy. It's good to
Speaker 5: talk to you, right like, right nice. I mean you
Speaker 5: just you kind of run out of things to say.
Speaker 5: I think after a while.
Speaker 6: Yeah, looking back, if someone were asking me like, what
Speaker 6: did you all do? I kind of we just mingled,
Speaker 6: and I don't like to mingle, but we mean big
Speaker 6: barstool personalities. We're like, what's up? What do we do here?
Speaker 6: And they're like, we don't know. Hi, Uh did you
Speaker 6: get the sushi? All right, good talk, move.
Speaker 5: On to the nose.
Speaker 4: They did have no shin and they did have a
Speaker 4: lot of food.
Speaker 3: That's all they had.
Speaker 5: Like they had a chef hand rolling sushi while you
Speaker 5: were there, you know, they had they had a lot
Speaker 5: of food. It was an open bar. They gave away
Speaker 5: okay when you got there, you could scan your phone
Speaker 5: shan And they were just having a little contest where
Speaker 5: you would pick the games that were on that night. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and there's probably what two hundred people at that party,
Speaker 5: maybe a hundred of them are barstool employees, and they're
Speaker 5: not allowed to be in the contest. So you're talking
Speaker 5: about like one hundred people. And somebody was gonna win
Speaker 5: twenty five thousand dollars out of that and second place
Speaker 5: was like ten thousand dollars. And third place was seven
Speaker 5: thousand dollars. And so that's like an when we walk in,
Speaker 5: we go, what an amazing contest? You know what we did? Shannon?
Speaker 3: What did you do?
Speaker 5: All three of us forgot that. I once took a
Speaker 5: picture like three of us, and I think most people
Speaker 5: didn't enter. So somebody won twenty five thousand dollars, probably
Speaker 5: with not much competition. You know.
Speaker 6: It was actually woke up this morning kicking myself like
Speaker 6: did you forget to ever enter that?
Speaker 5: Because like all those women that was overwhelmed by everything
Speaker 5: going on, That's what it was. Yeah, all those women
Speaker 5: that were there, I bet they didn't enter it all that,
Speaker 5: and then you know the Barcelol employees couldn't. I'm doubting
Speaker 5: Larry Fitzgerald and the athlete Steve Nash. I don't think they.
Speaker 5: I don't think they entered it. So so Shannon, somebody
Speaker 5: just probably walked in there and was just scanned their
Speaker 5: thing and won twenty five thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: That's crazy.
Speaker 2: So I gotta ask you, though, the guy with the
Speaker 2: green silk suit, who is who is that?
Speaker 4: That's Jerry.
Speaker 5: That's Jerry. You know who it is. That's Jerry. O'Connell Jr.
Speaker 5: That's Jerry O'Connell Jr. Yeah, he was there, the actor
Speaker 5: from our childhood, from Lost.
Speaker 3: Boys and all that.
Speaker 5: There's a perfect example. Okay, here's a perfect example what
Speaker 5: I'm talking about. Jerry O'Connell Jr. Shannon. I've seen that
Speaker 5: guy since I was a child, right as an actor.
Speaker 5: He's been an actor our whole lives. There he is
Speaker 5: in a green mesh suit for reasons I don't totally understand,
Speaker 5: and he's watching the Nick Celtics game and he's going crazy.
Speaker 5: I'm standing behind him most of the night. When it's over,
Speaker 5: you know, we're in a position where it's just me
Speaker 5: and him, and I go, hey, Jerry, I'm Matt. He
Speaker 5: couldn't be nicer. He looks at me and he's like,
Speaker 5: hey man, what do you do? I'm like, Kentucky. Oh,
Speaker 5: He's like, you're the guy Kentucky Sports Radio. I was
Speaker 5: surprised he knew who I was. Yeah, But then, like,
Speaker 5: what do you say to Jerry O'Connell after that? I
Speaker 5: can say, I love you and Lost Boys, you know
Speaker 5: what I mean. I don't want to be like, well,
Speaker 5: what do you have in common with him?
Speaker 6: You know nothing.
Speaker 5: I mean, I just I was like, what about that game?
Speaker 5: Jerry O'Connell.
Speaker 2: J you know, he looked like he was living his
Speaker 2: best life. He was enjoying whatever was going on on
Speaker 2: that mome man.
Speaker 5: He was fun. He I joke about We didn't really
Speaker 5: know what to say, but then we started talking about
Speaker 5: sports and it was great, and he talked about how
Speaker 5: he said he would like to come on the show sometime,
Speaker 5: so I'll have him on the show.
Speaker 4: He's nice dude. He was a very nice guy.
Speaker 5: But it's just you start this conversation, you don't want
Speaker 5: to be like I know you from a movie when
Speaker 5: you were nice, Like, there just comes a point like
Speaker 5: what do you say?
Speaker 6: He set the tone for me after Mario's awkward red
Speaker 6: carpet inter actually asking Larry Fitzgerald take a picture. We
Speaker 6: weren't in the building for thirty seconds, and Mario and
Speaker 6: I just ended up talking to Jerry O'Connell. He could
Speaker 6: have been nicer, but it did get to a point
Speaker 6: where even like pat Us on the back, like, well
Speaker 6: see you guys later, We've run out of things to say.
Speaker 6: But at that moment, my brain was like, what is
Speaker 6: life right now? What is going on, Shannon, we have
Speaker 6: to talk about our guy Drew. Okay, he was a commercial.
Speaker 6: I was having a good time sharing.
Speaker 5: You know, I've known Drew for like sixteen seventeen years
Speaker 5: as part of KSR, and I've known Drew in like
Speaker 5: his Drew stages where he like was Drew, you know,
Speaker 5: every night Drew Franklin story. I mean I could, I
Speaker 5: could write a book and Drew Franklin stories from that era.
Speaker 5: Good times. He's a different Drew now, still fun still funny,
Speaker 5: still awesome, still great friend, but not quite the Drew.
Speaker 5: Like he's not you know what I'm saying. He's not
Speaker 5: Nolan Ryan thowing at I haven't lost the fest. He's
Speaker 5: still you know, he's just kind of I just don't
Speaker 5: send me out much. I mean, he's not Greg Maddox
Speaker 5: painting the corners, but he's like he's like smokes when
Speaker 5: they send him to the bullpen. You know what, That's
Speaker 5: what he is.
Speaker 3: Okay, a couple more slaughters and fork balls.
Speaker 5: Yes, exactly right. Well, last night he reared back for
Speaker 5: a Nolan Ryan at forty no hitter. Okay, like he
Speaker 5: Drew was throwing as fast.
Speaker 6: But my line as I haven't lost a step. I
Speaker 6: just looked before I take one.
Speaker 5: No, it's the old Toby Key song. I ain't as
Speaker 5: good as I once was, but on as good one.
Speaker 5: I got it when I get called up as I
Speaker 5: ever was. Last night Drew was on one. He was
Speaker 5: definitely on one man. I think the correct word is
Speaker 5: even sent this to my wife and others. I was
Speaker 5: absolutely folded at that event, and it all hit him.
Speaker 5: When we were talking to Dave Portnoy, we got in
Speaker 5: like a fifteen or twenty minute conversation. He and I
Speaker 5: talked a lot about what it's like to own a
Speaker 5: company and the good and the bad and the up
Speaker 5: and down, and it was actually a really interesting conversation.
Speaker 4: Drew started it completely Mario.
Speaker 5: Coherent, normal as ever, normal, you know, just talking, Drew's
Speaker 5: coming in here and there by the end he was like.
Speaker 7: Have they partner?
Speaker 4: I got a little, I got a little.
Speaker 5: Songs the hey they part and I wasn't bad. Then
Speaker 5: them harshes go around and around. You just go and
Speaker 5: then by and then Mario and were like, you know,
Speaker 5: I think it's time, Yeah, you gotta go.
Speaker 4: I think we probably ought to go back to the hotel.
Speaker 4: And he was like dang, hey, you listen did your
Speaker 4: impersonations yesterday?
Speaker 6: I didn't know I was gonna be today.
Speaker 4: It wasn't bad bad.
Speaker 6: Mario was pretty bad. It was pretty fast.
Speaker 5: He just and then thank you Drafty Express for me.
Speaker 5: And then we ended up. Mario and I like, let's
Speaker 5: go get an uber, let's talk to go, It's time
Speaker 5: to go. Let's go true when you like something to eat,
Speaker 5: that actually was my problem.
Speaker 6: I did not eat all day and am tequilos.
Speaker 5: So so we we went got something to eat and
Speaker 5: then it was a little more calm and we finished
Speaker 5: the eating. But it was a lot of fun. Uh.
Speaker 5: You met what had to be one of your heroes, Ario,
Speaker 5: which I wanted to talk about. That was a cute
Speaker 5: moment and the other stuff that went on. Plus Kentucky
Speaker 5: gets a basketball player. We we are giddy. I'm here
Speaker 5: with Drew Franklin and Otis from the Frandy Griffiths Show.
Speaker 5: We'll be right back Kentucky Sports.
Speaker 9: Hey, Drew Franklin lived this last night at the barstools,
Speaker 9: making me feel No, you shouldn't.
Speaker 5: You shouldn't You were fun. You only told me and
Speaker 5: Mario the same story on the.
Speaker 6: Radio because I know I've already said it to you all.
Speaker 5: No, no, I want you. Here's what I want you to do.
Speaker 5: In a second. I want you to tell the story
Speaker 5: you told us ten times on the radio because it
Speaker 5: is nice. But first, a bunch of people on the
Speaker 5: text machine writing seven seven two seven seven four five
Speaker 5: two five for one person, one of many says that
Speaker 5: Matt Jerry O'Connell was not in Lost Boys. He was
Speaker 5: in stand by Me. That would have been good to
Speaker 5: know yesterday, because I do think I said to him
Speaker 5: he was the lost boy.
Speaker 3: You told him he was in a movie that he
Speaker 3: didn't know what he was even in that.
Speaker 5: I don't think he wasn't. Yeah, I think I said
Speaker 5: something like I don't remember exactly how it came up,
Speaker 5: but I think I may have said the word lost boys.
Speaker 5: He was very nice, Yeah, but he he didn't he
Speaker 5: didn't correct me. And but I think I did say
Speaker 5: it to him in the course of a longer conversation. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I had a couple of those. Actually, there was a
Speaker 5: there was a woman there that works at barstool that
Speaker 5: I called the wrong name twice. I thought her name
Speaker 5: was something else, and we I had a good conversation
Speaker 5: with her, and now I called her the I think
Speaker 5: I think I thought she was the other person the
Speaker 5: whole time.
Speaker 2: You did that in Milwaukee too, I think I.
Speaker 5: Thought, you know, I did do it Milwaukee to a
Speaker 5: sideline before. I thought that was Tracy Wolfson, and it
Speaker 5: was not nice, like layah, and like I know this woman.
Speaker 5: I know Tracy Wolfson. I don't know the person I
Speaker 5: was talking to, which made it clear why she looked
Speaker 5: like she. I wanted to respond, was like I didn't
Speaker 5: know me, and then she didn't because it was not
Speaker 5: who I thought it were. I did the exact same
Speaker 5: thing with one of those women last night. I kept
Speaker 5: calling her one thing and it was not her. That
Speaker 5: with you, man, I don't know, all right, tell the
Speaker 5: audience what you said to us forty five times last night?
Speaker 6: I just kept started. Even when we went to Old
Speaker 6: Town afterwards, I felt like I just I was pulled
Speaker 6: my string and I'm gonna say it one more time,
Speaker 6: but I have.
Speaker 5: One more in me.
Speaker 4: Okay, Gilly, so Shandon, do you know who Gilly is?
Speaker 3: I don't think I do.
Speaker 4: I didn't don't feel bad. I didn't know who he
Speaker 4: was either.
Speaker 5: He's like a big hats he's like a big podcast star.
Speaker 5: He was with Shador Sanders on Draft Knight. He even
Speaker 5: big Guy in the big Hat with Shador Sanders on
Speaker 5: Draft Night.
Speaker 6: Did you see that?
Speaker 5: Remembering the background was guy big Hat. That's who it was.
Speaker 5: He's a big Eagles fan. Super Bowl celebration, he's in
Speaker 5: the locker room.
Speaker 6: Mario wanted to meet him going in, and that's who
Speaker 6: Mario knew of all the people that would be there.
Speaker 8: He's a legend, man. He's like a legend, especially like
Speaker 8: in the black community. He's a huge legend.
Speaker 6: So exactly.
Speaker 5: But you said he was one of the biggest black
Speaker 5: podcast Yes, yes, okay, iks so go ahead.
Speaker 6: This feels so awkward saying to you guys, I'm talking
Speaker 6: to the listeners, not you too. We meet him like
Speaker 6: we did everybody with awkward conversations. But this man was
Speaker 6: so nice. He did not have to do this. He
Speaker 6: pulled Mario aside. Matt went in. I kind of just
Speaker 6: took a few steps away, was hanging out just a
Speaker 6: few little bit away from them. He talked to Mario
Speaker 6: for at least twenty minutes, giving him advice. How can
Speaker 6: I help you this that we just met, just I
Speaker 6: could not get over how nice Gilly was tomorrow and us.
Speaker 6: He was nice to me. I mean I talked to
Speaker 6: him plenty, but of all the interactions last night, I
Speaker 6: could not get over what a nice guy that was.
Speaker 6: He's alright. I can end up linking up with Mario
Speaker 6: on Mario's podcast or something down the road, but Gilly
Speaker 6: out there. I know if some of our listeners probably
Speaker 6: know him. You know him for the big hats. There's
Speaker 6: not a better person on earth than Gilly. I walked
Speaker 6: in knowing who he was, and then I'm a big fan.
Speaker 6: I'm now his biggest fan. He was so good to Mario.
Speaker 6: I was I was like Mario's dad. I was taking
Speaker 6: candid pictures of those two. I have ten pictures. He
Speaker 6: tells you that ten times, of course, of one. I'm
Speaker 6: not gonna apologize for now.
Speaker 5: It was it was he kind of took like a
Speaker 5: big uncle energy with you, and you loved it like
Speaker 5: your star.
Speaker 8: Yeah, this is somebody who I grew up watching. You know,
Speaker 8: you see him on pol His advice. He took you
Speaker 8: inside and he gave you advice.
Speaker 4: He said, obviously his first advice.
Speaker 8: He was like be known in the state, like you
Speaker 8: guys got to be known in the state and try
Speaker 8: to be as known as possible in the state.
Speaker 4: And I was like, well, we're pretty known to state already.
Speaker 8: And he's like, okay, then value, he said, value is
Speaker 8: the key, Like make sure you provide value. If you're
Speaker 8: working for these guys, whatever you do, provide value. That
Speaker 8: was his biggest thing. And I was like, okay. He
Speaker 8: was like, because you don't, He said, you don't want
Speaker 8: to be like I remember you telling me, Matt a
Speaker 8: few weeks ago, you don't want to be replaceable?
Speaker 5: Was long, No, that's the advice I always give people.
Speaker 5: Younger people. They say to me, what's the biggest piece
Speaker 5: of advice you can give? And I said, I don't
Speaker 5: care what your job is. Whatever your job is, whether
Speaker 5: you're in media, whether you're a lawyer, whether you're working
Speaker 5: you know, as a bank teller, what you pick the job,
Speaker 5: make yourself irreplaceable because as an employer, you there are
Speaker 5: certain people you cannot replace. Like I in every job
Speaker 5: that I have, there's somebody there that if we lost them,
Speaker 5: it would not be the same. And so you don't
Speaker 5: And my thing is you want to make sure you're
Speaker 5: that person Gilly's advice to you was add value in
Speaker 5: everything you do. And those are actually two really good
Speaker 5: pieces of advice. Like not trying to be you know,
Speaker 5: Tony Robber here, but they really are.
Speaker 4: Yeah. And I took it, took it all, you know.
Speaker 4: And he was a good dude.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 8: I love the way he didn't know us, came came
Speaker 8: over to us and talked with us for like twenty
Speaker 8: five minutes.
Speaker 4: We had a great conversation with him.
Speaker 5: I'll give you the best example of somebody making themselves irreplaceable.
Speaker 5: iHeart used to have shennon phone lines. Yeah that were
Speaker 5: that were well, they were weird.
Speaker 4: A guy set up our phone system at iHeart to
Speaker 4: where he was the only person that knew how to
Speaker 4: use it.
Speaker 5: Remember this shit. Yeah, and he like set up in
Speaker 5: it and he set it up much more elaborately than
Speaker 5: it needed to be so that no one else could
Speaker 5: fix the phone system but him, And so when when
Speaker 5: cuts were made, he'd always get capped because they're like, well,
Speaker 5: you can't replace him if we lose the phone system.
Speaker 5: And then finally, I don't know what he did, but
Speaker 5: something happened where they had to separate it.
Speaker 4: Remember our phones were down for like two or three days.
Speaker 5: That shit.
Speaker 4: Remember we couldn't take homes for.
Speaker 3: On planet Earth. Who knew how to fix it?
Speaker 4: Yeah, AT and T and then the phone company was.
Speaker 5: Like, what is this system?
Speaker 4: Who did this?
Speaker 5: And he had done it so that's a little sneaky
Speaker 5: way to do it, but he had done it to
Speaker 5: where he like was irreplaceable. And then finally when it
Speaker 5: had to happen, we were, we were. We replaced him
Speaker 5: for a while.
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, Well, Gilly's irreplaceable to me, Like my brother
Speaker 6: in law is an Eagles fan and Gilly's probably one
Speaker 6: of the more famous Eagles fans. He's like, well, let's
Speaker 6: send him a video, like just he was just doing
Speaker 6: so much. That was so nice.
Speaker 8: And the crazy part is you see that on camera,
Speaker 8: like when you watch his podcast, he acts just like that,
Speaker 8: and when you see it in person, like it's I know,
Speaker 8: you didn't really know.
Speaker 6: Who he was, but like hearing his stories, he said,
Speaker 6: You're like you should be the one on TV talking
Speaker 6: about it.
Speaker 5: Were great. There were some other people that I thought
Speaker 5: just as were much nice and that with thought. I
Speaker 5: mean Portnoy like we talked twenty minutes. I mean we
Speaker 5: talked about Drew was done at the end of that
Speaker 5: twenty minute.
Speaker 3: Did you tell the only story.
Speaker 7: He did?
Speaker 4: Actually, I think he did.
Speaker 5: Talked to the whoever the kid is that does the
Speaker 5: I don't know Josh Richards best friend.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 4: Did you know when I knew when he was really gone?
Speaker 8: When we tried to take a selfie with Josh Richards
Speaker 8: and Drew had it on video and we were standing
Speaker 8: there for like.
Speaker 4: All right, wear this second, just staring at.
Speaker 5: The Jerry looks at this guy, all right, Shannon, Josh Richards.
Speaker 5: He's like a TikTok guy, right, and he does he
Speaker 5: does a podcast.
Speaker 4: The direction of this conversation.
Speaker 5: But Drew meets him just immediately takes a vape with it.
Speaker 5: I don't know how it happened, but Drew's just vaping
Speaker 5: with this guy, Josh. How many times you have the
Speaker 5: opportunity I didn't even know Drew vapepe with a TikTok
Speaker 5: star and then when it's over, goes, hey can I
Speaker 5: get a selfie?
Speaker 4: And he just turns it on video.
Speaker 6: Let's let's go.
Speaker 4: This is not about me, this is about Gilly, and
Speaker 4: we'll take a break.
Speaker 5: Very back.
Speaker 7: Sorry TJ.
Speaker 3: Smith personal injury attorney called TJ.
Speaker 5: He'll make them pay.
Speaker 2: Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 3: Here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 5: I feel sorry for the podcast people because Shannon's been
Speaker 5: on roll with the music lately in terms of it
Speaker 5: being like, I mean, this is a great pick over
Speaker 5: and over again for an irreplaceable going in the break,
Speaker 5: Shannon is Shannon's killing it. I am going to go
Speaker 5: the phones. Ay if I'm nine to two eight twenty
Speaker 5: two eighty seven, Well, we got one or two people
Speaker 5: on there, get on there because I do want to
Speaker 5: go real quick. I want to do a couple of
Speaker 5: questions here that people, uh wrote in. One person writes Matt,
Speaker 5: I saw you on the live stream a few times
Speaker 5: talking to Rico Bosco. Uh. It was weird seeing all
Speaker 5: those people and then seeing you on it too. Yeah.
Speaker 5: We made a few of those shots just standing behind
Speaker 5: because the Knicks and Celtics Shannon were in an amazing game.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah yeah, and the people, yeah yeah. Half the
Speaker 5: people there were Knicks fans and half the people there
Speaker 5: were Celtics fans, and so that was kind of kind
Speaker 5: of cool to watch. One person says Matt did you
Speaker 5: meet Frank the Tank. I know a lot of you
Speaker 5: don't know who these people are, but but you know
Speaker 5: some people do, yes, and he was. He was very nice.
Speaker 5: We liked him.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I had to help him. His pants were like he
Speaker 5: was having a pant situation, so I helped. I tried
Speaker 5: to help him a little bit.
Speaker 6: I'm so hesitant to say anything, but everyone really was nice.
Speaker 5: Frank.
Speaker 6: I know him just a little bit from social media,
Speaker 6: but we sat and talked to him forever about his
Speaker 6: weight loss journey and how he's doing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Dana Beers, I got to I got to do
Speaker 4: a beer.
Speaker 6: I beat him, by the way. Thank you to all
Speaker 6: the people on social media who went frame by frame
Speaker 6: and figured out though I won by a millisecond on.
Speaker 5: That one person rights. What about uh the Sydney Thomas
Speaker 5: we met her, it was she's beautiful. She and there
Speaker 5: are a lot of beautiful people there, a lot of everybody, Yeah, everybody.
Speaker 5: There are a lot of beautiful people. The older ones
Speaker 5: really like Mario. Uh.
Speaker 6: There was a moment where Mario and I even said
Speaker 6: to him as right after we were talking to Gilly,
Speaker 6: who by the way, was so nice.
Speaker 5: Tomorrow, there we.
Speaker 6: Go but we went. We went to this couch and
Speaker 6: we're like, hey, man, because can we sit here for
Speaker 6: a second. And the guy's I was training this morning.
Speaker 6: I'm a little sore. Turns out he's just this huge
Speaker 6: UFC fighter tomorrow and I just pull up and sit
Speaker 6: with him on his couch. Just people everywhere.
Speaker 4: No, it was, it was.
Speaker 5: It was weird. They they had a lot of beautiful people,
Speaker 5: but you know, everybody was everybody was looking good. He
Speaker 5: don't look good for one night. Look good. So we'll
Speaker 5: have I'll talk a little bit more about a couple
Speaker 5: more things from there later in the show. But U yesterday,
Speaker 5: Rhese Potter from Lexington Catholic High School became the thirteenth
Speaker 5: player in the UK class. He ends up kind of
Speaker 5: replacing Travis Perry. He's a Lexington kid. He had been
Speaker 5: made I think a pretty big offer from Washington to
Speaker 5: come play. I was told Hubert Davis. Carolina fans are
Speaker 5: mad that I said this, but I'll trust my source
Speaker 5: over random tar heel in your eye person that that
Speaker 5: Hubert Davis had kind of made him a priority. Uh,
Speaker 5: I know, Louisville and Yukon had reached out to him.
Speaker 5: I don't know if they offered him, but uh, he
Speaker 5: picks K and I would think it almost a significantly
Speaker 5: I don't will say significantly less, but a less amount
Speaker 5: because he bled blue. He was offered a campus tour
Speaker 5: and he said, I don't need one. I grew up here,
Speaker 5: I know it that down the street. He's down the street,
Speaker 5: and so he is our new player. Do you like
Speaker 5: the addition for the roster? I do you know this
Speaker 5: next season.
Speaker 6: I don't expect him to be in with five minutes
Speaker 6: left in a tournament game or anything, but he's a
Speaker 6: good beast to put on the bench and maybe develop
Speaker 6: over time he can step out shoot the three. I
Speaker 6: like just the Kentucky connection, especially losing Travis Perry. You're
Speaker 6: I consider him maybe the thirteenth man in all due
Speaker 6: respect to him, but it's good to have a Kentucky
Speaker 6: kid there. Like I said, just just right down the
Speaker 6: road playing a high school ball Catholic. I'm sure a
Speaker 6: lot of people know who he is, so it's good
Speaker 6: to have him on the team. Big local guy, you know.
Speaker 8: I like to see that and lexing the Catholic, like
Speaker 8: Drew said, you know, in his height seven to one, Yeah,
Speaker 8: you get your adding depth to Brandon Garrett shot forty three,
Speaker 8: taking shoot a little bit too, you know, so I like,
Speaker 8: I like to pick up a local guy to place
Speaker 8: replace another local guy. So I think it was a
Speaker 8: game and if and I think the theory is if
Speaker 8: you get a big that's hurt, he becomes a potential
Speaker 8: backup and uh who knows, you know, if he plays well.
Speaker 8: This is probably a two or two year uh thing.
Speaker 8: I think they still might add one more after some
Speaker 8: conversations yesterday, but it's a kid that wouldn't be thought to.
Speaker 5: Be an immediate contributor. So I think you have the
Speaker 5: team for next year as an immediate There's another kid
Speaker 5: that might be like, let's see what happens with you
Speaker 5: is as a longer term option.
Speaker 4: But I do think you know you got your group.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 6: What court is stacked a lot of people. I mean,
Speaker 6: there's not a better front court in the country.
Speaker 8: Talk about size too, We got a lot more size
Speaker 8: compared to last season.
Speaker 5: So yeah, it should be fun. Well we'll talk I'm
Speaker 5: sure going into October about what the what this team
Speaker 5: ceiling is. But I feel really good about it. I
Speaker 5: mean I feel like they have one of everything. If
Speaker 5: Aberdeen and Williams especially can become really really good three
Speaker 5: point shooters to where it's a regular thing, then I
Speaker 5: think they got one of everything you want. My only
Speaker 5: concern is from a team that had so much shooting
Speaker 5: last year, do you have enough shooting.
Speaker 6: With this group?
Speaker 5: But they got all pretty much all of them can
Speaker 5: do it. The question is do you have a Kobe
Speaker 5: braa kind of guy that gets you the shot you
Speaker 5: need in a pinch. Yeah.
Speaker 6: I mean we're all being optimistic because we're fans of
Speaker 6: the team, Like you assume that Jalen Lowe will be
Speaker 6: a little more efficient than he was at Pittsburgh where
Speaker 6: his teammates were just were absolute trash and he's having
Speaker 6: to play hero ball. You get him in a good
Speaker 6: system with pieces around him, you think he'll be better.
Speaker 6: My biggest thing is Yellovich, which, by the way, they
Speaker 6: put out a statement that he's signed and they put
Speaker 6: the pronunciation guy, and we've been saying it right, even
Speaker 6: Ron Lemon's been getting his name right.
Speaker 5: Yellovich.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we don't really know how he's going to translate
Speaker 6: to college ball. There's a chance where he's really good.
Speaker 5: Now, there's a chance he's really good, which is hard
Speaker 5: to know. There's a chance you have a Z situation
Speaker 5: where he has like an amazing game and then has
Speaker 5: two the next game.
Speaker 4: But there, yeah, and we don't know what's really good too.
Speaker 6: So every year there's a freshman in the SEC that
Speaker 6: wasn't five star that everyone was just like wow. Last
Speaker 6: year Jeremiah Fears at Oklahoma, he wasn't top fifty. Dude
Speaker 6: was a stud. Before that, you had Josh Hubbard. I
Speaker 6: think he was barely top one hundred. I mean, there's
Speaker 6: a chance Jasper, you know, he's in the twenty five range.
Speaker 6: There's a chance Jasper surprises people how good he is defensively,
Speaker 6: He's got to get a little better, but he might
Speaker 6: be a lights out shore would be well.
Speaker 4: So it should be exciting.
Speaker 5: And your Kentucky basketball team, with the possible exception of
Speaker 5: one long term piece I think is now here for you.
Speaker 4: It's up first, Shit, Jacob, Jacob, how are you?
Speaker 5: Jacob?
Speaker 4: Eight five nine two eighth twenty two eighty seven?
Speaker 11: Go ahead, Hi, good morning, Matt. I hope you and
Speaker 11: Drew and Mario had a incredible time in the console
Speaker 11: area at two quick doms. I just want to mention
Speaker 11: a couple of great restaurant restaurant options in scott Stale
Speaker 11: if you have the time, I recommend Ocean forty four,
Speaker 11: Ran Scene or Cafe Monarch Listen in Scottsville area.
Speaker 5: I just wrote those.
Speaker 11: Lastly, Yeah, those are great, great options I definitely recommend.
Speaker 11: And lastly, I just want to mention that Drew's acting
Speaker 11: experience inspired me to sign up and I auditioned this
Speaker 11: weekend for play later this summer at Lexington Chron's Theater.
Speaker 11: So ill we do its very.

Speaker 6: uh me embarrassing myself on stage open the door for
Speaker 6: someone else.
Speaker 5: And I just can't get over how nice Gill is. Okay,
Speaker 5: you gotta stop, like you really got to stop. Eight
Speaker 5: two eight oh twenty two eighty seven couple op with
Speaker 5: lines give us a shout. You know, I know we've
Speaker 5: been talking a lot the last few days, but I

Speaker 5: a question that NBC seems to have an answer for it.
Speaker 5: We'll be right back to Kazar. I really liked this song, Shannon,
Speaker 5: and you probably didn't even know that. Oh you could guess.
Speaker 3: Glenn Campbell.
Speaker 5: Good, Glenn Campbell, Right, yeah, it is this. I will
Speaker 5: say this about this area. I could see how somebody
Speaker 5: would want to live here.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 5: I know, in July and August they say it's like
Speaker 5: one hundred plus degrees and kind of miserable. But right now,
Speaker 5: I can't imagine whether you would like more than this
Speaker 5: every day eighty degrees, like a breeze every single day.
Speaker 6: I mean, that would be amazing, and I think we're
Speaker 6: hitting it perfectly. I think it was like one hundred
Speaker 6: to day before we got here. We are here in
Speaker 6: their best weather. I could live at this resort. I
Speaker 6: went around the Lazy River yesterday. There's not much I
Speaker 6: love more than the la but this man loves a
Speaker 6: lazy rust and there was I did a couple of
Speaker 6: great laps. Also, I met people from Madisonville and the
Speaker 6: Lazy River. What are the odds? What a small world?
Speaker 6: But I mean Madisonville, Kentucky in the wind.
Speaker 4: Also, and there's a law firm that is having their.
Speaker 5: Partner retreat here. Ye, So partner retreat law firms basically
Speaker 5: bring all the people and They're just like, let's spend
Speaker 5: three days doing meetings. But really it's just an excuse
Speaker 5: to make the associates stay and work and they go
Speaker 5: party for three or four days. So there's a the
Speaker 5: law firm Goodwin Proctor is here. I don't know anything
Speaker 5: about Goodwin Proctor. They might be nice people, there might
Speaker 5: be a good Win Proctor person listening. I'm just gonna
Speaker 5: tell you, y'all got a law firm full of nerdy
Speaker 5: people that are just getting hammered in this place. I'm
Speaker 5: just saying, like it's you, you're you know, I'm right.
Speaker 5: Like they just walking around here first of all, like
Speaker 5: they own it. They even brought Shannon. They brought their
Speaker 5: own pillows to put on the communal sofas.
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, like OT buy the pool. All the pillows
Speaker 4: say Goodwin on it.
Speaker 5: I feel like I work for Goodman Goodwin proc.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's thousands of people here. The only five people
Speaker 6: that don't work for them are the three of us,
Speaker 6: Roy Williams and Austin River. Everyone else walking around.
Speaker 5: Williams and Austin Rivers are here, and then every lawyer
Speaker 5: from Goodwin. So I'm just gonna say this to the
Speaker 5: people who work for good Win Proctor, who aren't here.
Speaker 5: Y'all be careful because they spending your money. The signs
Speaker 5: that they and they're not like print out signs with
Speaker 5: tape like the signage in the hotels is believable. How
Speaker 5: much money though, whatever, Goodwin Proctor is spending.
Speaker 4: A lot of money. Good for y'all. So congratulations. Who's
Speaker 4: up next, John, John?
Speaker 5: Go ahead? John?
Speaker 10: Hey, guys, recall, I got a quick concern and he's
Speaker 10: gonna question about and I or my concern is that
Speaker 10: Jayden Quaintens doesn't have to play at Kentucky to be
Speaker 10: a first round pick in the NBA next year. And
Speaker 10: I'm not saying he'd be the furious character for doing that,
Speaker 10: but there's a world where.
Speaker 5: I might think about it. There's a lot of people,
Speaker 5: though that could apply to that have had wonderful, wonderful
Speaker 5: careers here. John Wall didn't have to play here, but
Speaker 5: he has.
Speaker 10: He has an injury though, that's.
Speaker 5: Fine, But why if he if he didn't, I am
Speaker 5: going to operating under the assumption that not everyone in
Speaker 5: the world is stupid and that U K knows exactly
Speaker 5: what you just said and would not have signed him
Speaker 5: unless they believed firmly that he is going to play.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I do. I do believe that we have Mark
Speaker 10: Pope's coach and that and that our former coach. But also, uh,
Speaker 10: do you know how the ni L has structured to
Speaker 10: the players. Do the players have to play to get paid?
Speaker 4: Because there are no rules?
Speaker 5: Because there are no rules, the deal can be structured
Speaker 5: however the two parties agree, and uh, you know, I
Speaker 5: think I can't tell you what what Jaden Quainton's deal
Speaker 5: or any deal is, because ultimately they're private contracts, at
Speaker 5: least for now. One day. I think that's going to change.
Speaker 5: But so I don't know. I would think though a
Speaker 5: kid coming off an injury, who has the talent you're
Speaker 5: talking about. I know the person that is negotiating these contracts,
Speaker 5: and he is an extremely smart person. And then Mark Pope,
Speaker 5: I know, is extremely smart. I gotta think they've thought
Speaker 5: through that. Now, if he ends up coming, takes the money,
Speaker 5: doesn't play, then I'll reserve the right to criticize. But
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna assume that's the case, considering they know
Speaker 5: everything you just said, right right?
Speaker 10: Do you know if there is insurance policies too?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I appreciate the call.
Speaker 4: Yes, well to protect the school.
Speaker 5: Again, these are not schools that are doing this, these
Speaker 5: are collectives. Do they have an insurance policy? I don't know.
Speaker 5: I would assume yeah, because most businesses do. But I
Speaker 5: don't know if there's nil collective insurance policies. I don't know.
Speaker 5: I mean, I tell you, usually speaking, if you want insurance,
Speaker 5: somebody will find a way to sell it to you.
Speaker 4: But I don't know what if there is that. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I don't know about that.
Speaker 6: With quaintance, I've seen some people like the caller, they're
Speaker 6: wondering if it's gonna be a shad and sharp situation.
Speaker 6: But I think he actually has to prove that he's healthy.
Speaker 6: I think the injury makes it more likely they has
Speaker 6: to play because they knew what he was before the injury.
Speaker 6: But now he needs to go out and show I'm
Speaker 6: still good. I recovering.
Speaker 4: So much of what he was good was his athleticist.
Speaker 6: Yeah, if you don't have that, then that that would
Speaker 6: be a I think he has to go out and
Speaker 6: do it to make that.
Speaker 5: You're probably right. Who's next, Parker, Parker, Go ahead, Parker.
Speaker 7: Hey, guys, real quick, I want to take you too
Speaker 7: much of your time about at the end of the
Speaker 7: hour here when it comes to at the end of
Speaker 7: the season for everybody, usually they go on like a
Speaker 7: signing tour or like a farewell tour. Have you guys
Speaker 7: heard anything from the guys that.
Speaker 4: I appreciate it?
Speaker 7: Thanks guy.
Speaker 5: I'm hoping they'll do something because obviously I'd like to
Speaker 5: do something at the bar. But I think what's probably
Speaker 5: changed this a little bit, Drew, is that now they
Speaker 5: make money and they're signing tours.
Speaker 4: They probably used to make these kids.
Speaker 5: I don't know, fifty sixty seventy thousand dollars maybe As
Speaker 5: for the less popular players, I just don't know if
Speaker 5: these dudes like, do you like, do you want to
Speaker 5: come to ksbar and make four or five thousand dollars
Speaker 5: to sign for a night? If you just made a
Speaker 5: million dollars, I mean I would, but I could see
Speaker 5: why there would be kids that wouldn't want, you know.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and you know, they would finish their careers and
Speaker 6: they'd go to Pikeville, Madisonville, owens Bro they'd be all
Speaker 6: over the state and it was a bit of a grind.
Speaker 6: And as you're saying, nothing to make it telling like
Speaker 6: they don't want to do that, but they've got a
Speaker 6: lot of money now and other deals in place that
Speaker 6: they don't really and I would say have to do.
Speaker 5: That for a lot of those players in Cow's era
Speaker 5: where they were really like like Anthony Davis knew he
Speaker 5: was about to be the number one pick, right, I mean,
Speaker 5: Devin Booker knew he was gonna be picked.
Speaker 4: Hy.
Speaker 5: You know, guys like Amari and Jackson Robinson, they need
Speaker 5: to go have good workouts and stuff, not just for
Speaker 5: NBA futures, but even for overseas futures, like they need
Speaker 5: they they kind of have to grind. And so that
Speaker 5: time where they could have gone to Anisonville or Hopkinsville
Speaker 5: and signed, it might be to go work with with
Speaker 5: a trainer.
Speaker 8: Feel like they're probably focused on different things right now,
Speaker 8: draft process, overseas process, rather than probably signing.
Speaker 4: It really depends on the player.
Speaker 5: Can we say the one person we met last night
Speaker 5: Mario that did not like us?
Speaker 6: Who wasn't I know exactly who you're about to say.
Speaker 5: L Shan Shannon, I didn't know this was a person,
Speaker 5: but apparently there's a former U of L player, what's
Speaker 5: his name? Chris Brickley Chris Brickley, who trains the NBA guys,
Speaker 5: huge following, huge following, like, look him up, Shannon, Chris Brickley.
Speaker 5: He's got like a million.
Speaker 8: Followers on the tatted guy all tatted. He's in the
Speaker 8: NBA two K for the young folks. Yeah, he's in
Speaker 8: the NBA two K just because he trains the guys.
Speaker 8: Do you see shann all Right? So he was there.
Speaker 5: I didn't know who he was. Mario was like, Hey,
Speaker 5: that dude right there played at U of L and
Speaker 5: so I thought, well, give me a Kentucky guy. So
Speaker 5: I went up to him. And I have seen this
Speaker 5: before where I walk up and it takes a second
Speaker 5: for somebody to place me and then they're like, oh,
Speaker 5: I don't like you.
Speaker 4: And he played at Louisville eight.
Speaker 5: To eleven, which is when I was on Louisville. The
Speaker 5: hardest was probably that era. Right, he was on the
Speaker 5: stripper he was on the team. He was on the
Speaker 5: stripper era team And I said, I'm Matt Jones KSR.
Speaker 5: And he gave me one of those I know who
Speaker 5: you are. He said that, He's like, I know who
Speaker 5: you are. I was like, oh, okay, it's like that now.
Speaker 5: Then he was very nice, but it was clear true
Speaker 5: that he was, like, you're the Kentucky dude who used
Speaker 5: to run that mouth. He didn't. He was completely nice,
Speaker 5: but it was clear that's a dude who knows KSR.
Speaker 5: Not for positive reasons.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was kind of behind you all when that
Speaker 6: conversation started, and you could almost see his face like
Speaker 6: the switch, like wait a minute, I know who this
Speaker 6: guy is. He was nice talk tomorrow for a while.
Speaker 6: Wasn't as nice as Gilly, who was very nice tomorrow,
Speaker 6: but he definitely knew KSR and from uh when we
Speaker 6: were at our not worse, but when the two fass
