  Speaker 1: With Michael Bennett. Hello, Big Blue Nation, Welcome to Just
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: the Cats. My name is Michael Bennett. On this Monday,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: May fourth. I can't believe I'm saying May fourth, but man,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the time just flies, you know, it just seems like
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: it was this past weekend when thunder over Louisville was
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: of course, that was two weeks ago. But here we
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: are back in studio after being backside at Churchill Downs
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: all last week was a blast, so I thoroughly enjoyed that.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: But Justin Caylin is with me this morning. Justin are
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: you you know you asked me on our daily cross
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: talk and it's it is funny. You're right. The sound
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: is completely different when we're out there at Churchill Downs
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: on the comrades and coming in here. I mean it's
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: completely different. But are you recovering from your weekend and
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: the last week what we've been doing, because we've been
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: running everywhere. Yeah, no, I mean I'm good.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I mentioned at the top of my show this morning
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: that I'm a very habitual type of person. So when
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I get out of that habitual lifestyle kind of makes
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: me uncomfortable a little bit, like right, as much as
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: I love being on the backside. There's just something about
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: being in studio and feeling as comfortable as absolutely.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Oh really, okay, because I will tell you I love
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: it back there. I just I love the excitement, the
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: everybody's happy, you got crowds. I know, I thoroughly enjoy
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: being back there. You like being looked at like a
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: zoo animal. No, I don't like that aspect. But but
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: you know, that's when we're sitting in the chair. When
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I'm standing up, I'm amongst the other people, so I'm
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: on the outside looking at you the zoo animal. That's okay.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: So that's why I would stand up and be over
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: there and let everybody else take the headphones. I'd hold
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: the microphone because that was fun. By the way, Kevin Traeger,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: you know of a Republic Bank, Okay, you know you
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: know he was on with us Thursday. He really enjoyed
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: being with us, love it. He did tell him to
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: come back. That's what I told him as well. He's like, Michael,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: you got to get me back here again next year.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I love the Traker family. I think they are some
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: of the nicest people in the city, if not the nicest.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: But that was fun having him. I was trying to
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: think who I enjoyed the most as far as who
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: joined the show last week, because you know, we had
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: a number of people that came over to be with us.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Now are we on YouTube today? We are okay? Good,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: So you got it? Thank you. I appreciate you responding
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: to me. I should I should just read my text
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: from you? You should. But all right, if you want to
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: join this five O two four one four FOURT two,
• 2:41

• 2:44
  Speaker 1: where you know we can take our call. So local John,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: if you want to call in five it wasn't the local, Yeah,

  Speaker 1: Whiskey T text line. It's five O two four one
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: four fourteen fifty. I promise I will read them. But
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: you know, we had so much going on. I have
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: so many topics from last week that I didn't even
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: discuss because we're on the backside, and then you know,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: one person would come in, another person would come in.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: We had Dale Romans, Kenny McPeek, Terry Finley at West Point,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the Thoroughbreds. We had Jason Worth. We had ned Toffee
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: from Spendthrift Farm. I'm having a hard time remembering which
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: interview I enjoyed the most. Mine's easy, is it really?
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Because I'll tell you right now, mine is not. Mine
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: is not easy at all. And the sad part about it,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I think I could have talked to every one of
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: our guests a lot longer, including Steve Trager, who joined
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: us just so happily because he was walking around with
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: my wife and some of their friends. So I don't
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: know who I would say, all right, go ahead.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: My favorite interview of the week was easily Patricia Bodachill. Oh,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: the fact that the fact that you asked her her
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: last name and she said bought it chilly instead of been.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: It was a one of the best as a weekend.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: But no, oh, now come because you know you wouldn't
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: ask her questions. She wouldn't even do anything. It's like
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: she killed you know. The funny part is she thinks
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I'm funny, I I and she does not think she's funny.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: She's funnier than me, and she doesn't give her enough credit.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: But that was quick witted right there, and I love
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: my wife saying that. Yeah, that was hilarious. No, but
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: in all reality, I say it's easy. But I'm kind
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: of torn between the whole Jason Worth and Kenny McPeak. Yeah,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: m yacka back.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: I would have I would have loved to have Kenny
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: McPeak for another ten to fifteen minutes gotten it the
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Kentucky basketball side of things, and yeah, picked his brain
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: and on all that. But I just I love those
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: guys so much. And Jason word specifically, I grew up
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: watching him. I mean he was one of my idols
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: in Major League Baseball.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Said he one of the nicest guys you've ever met before.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, he is genuine.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: And I don't know, I don't know if I said
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: this on air, so i'll say it now. But when
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I went up to him and I shook his hand
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: and introduced myself, yeah, I told him, I said, you
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: are a bad man back in the day. And he
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: looks at me and he goes, yes, I was exactly
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: humble too.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I love that, yes, exactly. But he's a great guy.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I mean you think he's some kind of fake guy,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: but no, I mean because you see him on national television. Course, he's,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: you know, the owner of door Knock, the Belmont Stakes
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: winning horse. He was a part of the Netflix Race
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: to the Crown. Of course, he's on the World Series
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: team the Phillies. That's you know, that's how we connected
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: is through horse racing. Chris, I'm in Okalla and we've
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: kind of kept in contact, and which has been fun
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: because he remembers me. I made the comment that you know,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: how much he just broke my heart and how much
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I hate him for that, and he thinks that's funny.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: And then of course he likes to make fun of
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the Trumpicana Field, which is like, the last time you've
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: been there, I'm not going back to that dump. It's like, God,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: come on, man, say something nice too. He said, the
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: best look for it was when the roof was torn off.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I forgot about that. That was funny. I mean that really,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: that's very true. It was not a good look, but yeah,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: that place is different. But anyway, I enjoyed that, and
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I'm like, you, maybe we should try and because here's
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the problem I have with Kenny, and people don't know this.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: So Jason was going to come on and then Kenny
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: came over as Michael. I only got a few minutes
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: because I got my horses coming out. Jason Worth stood
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: there and said, Kenny, you go first. I don't mind
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: waiting around. And do you realize that Jason Worth waited
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: around for us for like thirty five forty minutes long time?
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: And I really appreciate him doing that. I kept expecting
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: him to just walk off too. For this. I thought,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: it's like Michael, I got to go. I appreciate your offering.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: He stood there and waited for us, and I could
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: not appreciate that anymore than I did. And of course,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: you know, we talked on Friday and Saturday and I
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: just told him how much I appreciated told ned toffee.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: But I'm like you, here's what we'll do. I'll see
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: if Kenny mcpete can come back and talk about maybe
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: the Preatinus and or the Belmont. And because I'm like you,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I think TJ would have enjoyed it more to talk
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: a little bit more about UK, because Kenny's definitely got
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: some opinions on UK. You know, he was giving his opinions,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: which he's very opinionated. Where racing is today, it's not
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: in a negative way that he has opinionated opinionated about this,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: but in a positive way could because he doesn't want
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: to lose a sport he dearly loves.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: You know what was crazy about him talking with us
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: that day? So he was first of all, I didn't
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: know that the whole vet thing was as big of
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: an issue and huge Micropolis going crazy over it and
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: can there was a lot of talk about it. But
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: then so he comes on with us, what was that
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Thursday morning?
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: And then his was it his horse that scratched from
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: the yolks.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: It was or from the derby? No, it's from the derby.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: I can't remember the name of right to party, But
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: that very day his horse got scratched from the derby
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: due to a vet decision.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I thought that was pretty funny, not for him, but no,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say, that's not funny. I mean, that's
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: just sad. Can you well, because here's a lot of
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: things that happened on that derby day that you know
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: you had the other one? What was the other one
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: that scratched right at the gate? Oh it was great white,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: great white. That's a hell on its back. That was
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: not so as soon as a horse flips like that,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: they're out. It doesn't matter if they're okay or not.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: You are that ridiculous, though.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: I mean the horse was very obviously when it got
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: back to its feet was walking normally. It looked fine.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: The report came out after the race that the vets
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: checked on it and it was fine.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know that. I'm I'm okay with a quick
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: trigger like that for a but that's that is a rule.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. And because remember when back in last July,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I flew all the way out to California to watch
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: our horse rivera race and she flipped, and it's just automatic.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, you get it. But I don't know if
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: you saw the the outrider was right there and caught
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: the reins of the horse. I mean it could have been,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, you've got to go watch that video,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: and it is. And then they show the poor jockey,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, he is just you can tell he's just
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: an absolute shock that what just transpired, right because the
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: horse could have fallen on him. I mean it was
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: just unbelievable. Yeah, Jackie Alex Orchid Orchard, uh and he
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: just is like, oh my gosh, what just happened? Then
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: can you imagine being the owners of that horse?
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Here you are, Oh, you're right, Oh my gosh, that's incredible.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Go watch that video if you haven't seen it yet.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: So White, Great White flips somehow alex or Archard gets
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: off and doesn't hurt himself, the horse didn't fall on him,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: and then the outriders was lucky enough to grab those reins,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: which slowed the momentum and made that fall way less
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: worse than it could have. Oh yeah, and not only
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: but also could have gotten all the other horses worked up.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, it would have been a really bad look
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: for the Kentucky Derby.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: That sucked, though I wanted to see Great White work
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: just because it was that was the biggest horse in
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: the field. I've never seen a bigger race horse.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: In my life than Great Sovereignty. No, I don't know.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: I bet if you put them side, I bet Great
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: White's bigger, be really huge. Yeah, but I listen, I mean,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: that was that's heartbreaking. I can't imagine being the trainer,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: the jockey, or the owners of that horse. You make
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: it all the way to the gate and your horse
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: freaks out, flips and you're disqualified and scratch from the race.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's what a major disappointment that would be.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: And then you go to the flip side and you
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: see everybody from Golden Tempo that's just screaming like crazy, celebrating,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: and that's part of the Phipps family. Of course, they've
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: been in horse racing many years. If here's what we
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: did last night. So last night, my son, who lives
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: in New York, decided I want to watch a movie
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: and he wanted all of us to watch it with him. Okay,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: are you ready for the movie that he picked that
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: he wanted to watch? Secretariat? Exactly. I feel like that
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: was kind of easy since I said Phipps. But yeah,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: who was a part of the coin? Is that movie
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: real long? It's probably a couple hours. Why why do
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: you say real long? I thought it was over two hours.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: I don't well, I don't know. I don't think it's
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: over two hours. But it's it's a really good movie.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Of course, a lot of it was filmed in Lexington,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: part it was a lot of it was filmed here
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: in Louisville at and part of it was filmed downtown
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: at Pendennis Club. Two hours, three minutes. Oh okay, so right,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: at two hours? Is that too long for you? Yeah?
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: I mean I like my movies to be closer to
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: ninety minutes. But I can be okay with.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: The two hours. What is wrong with you? Come on,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: I like what I like? Okay, fair enough, I'm not
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: going to criticize you for that. So uh, but that
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: that that was a real disappointment for the the owners
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: of Great White, and I felt bad for them. But
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: on the other hand, you know, you talked about it
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: at length. But but Scherie Devou I love that, which
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: which is not common for her to act like that.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: She gets but not like that. Of course, she's first
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: woman to ever win with Kentucky Derby. Congratulations to her.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: I don't see sex and anything. How many it's great.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I got a text on my show this morning. Obviously
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: men are much more prominent in horse racing. Yes, no
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: matter the whether we're talking owner, trainer, I mean all
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: of it. How many women trainers are there? Even there's
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: a few, there's more than you know, but they're not
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: as prominent. There's a few down in Tampa, Tampa Bay Downs.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: I know there's a few up at parks up at
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: the outside of Philadelphia. Can't remember right off hand, and
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: would bind I know there's some out it in California
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: that race. There's more than you think. How many I
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: would say it's probably fifteen percent or women.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: I guess the question is how many can you name?
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Because we can sit there and rattle off men trainer
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: for days, right, I mean, we could probably go up
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: until eight forty just naming men trainer.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, uh, well, I know, well obviously Sharidavo,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Donna Kanneely down in Tampa, and that's pretty much it.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: I know some assistants. Pearl who works for Shari da Vo.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: She does a really nice job, but she's an assistant.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: So maybe one day she'll be a trainer on her own,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: but I don't know. She likes working for Shari, but
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: that that's it. I mean, I only jockey I can
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: now there are some women jockeys, but honestly, the only
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: one I can name is retired. Her name is Donna Brothers,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: who just did her last Kentucky Derby. I thought she
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: did a great job. Did you did you watch the
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: because you didn't go Saturday? You went Friday? Correct? What
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: did you think of the telecast?
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: I thought it was good? Yeah, I mean I don't
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: really ever have complaints about the Derby coverage. I think
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: they do a nice job with it. They now Churchill
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: has done. I don't want to call them out, but
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: they've not done the best job at building up around
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: the track. So you don't always get the best camera angle.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of camera angles where you've got it
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: blocked out and you can't see the horses, which that
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: hasn't always been the case. I don't recall that in
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: years past. But yeah, no, I mean other than that,
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: I don't really have any complaints about the TV.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: You don't Yeah, did you? I didn't see it, so
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: I have no idea. I mean I thought, yeah, the
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: way you asked that, it was like you had heard no. Well,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: I did hear a couple of things. Oh yeah, Because
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: they had that social media guy that did a lot
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: of stuff. I don't remember what his name is, but
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: he was interviewing like the mayor of the backside or
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: of the infield. That was kind of a drunken fest.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I did like the video that I posted this morning
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: of the guy running from one end to the top
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: of the porta pottis. Oh they did that again? Oh yes,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: they did that. And every time somebody would run. Go
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: look on my account at just the Cat Radio and
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: me posting this morning the show, and there's a guy
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: running across it. Everybody's throwing up beer can at him.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: One guy bullet right to the head knocked him down.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: It just it makes it And now I hope he's
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: not hurt. But watching him run across the tops of
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: porty potties and then everybody throwing their beer can makes
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: me smile. That was not this year? For what it's
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: not all he wasn't. Oh I'm disappointed. I thought that
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: was this year. No, I don't think they do the
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: porter pot races anymore. That's too bad. They should. That
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: should be a tradition like no other infield though? Was crazy?
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Was that was one of the more packed in fields
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: that I could remember? Yeah? Well, I mean the one
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: thing they did break about is that it was it
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: was the largest viewership for the Kentucky It was a
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: record nineteen point six million viewers.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Largest betting handle is well, was it really crossed all plant?
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: I think it was like eight hundred and thirty four
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: million or something. I don't I don't have the number
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: in front of me.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Well, we got eight. Last year's total about
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: thirteen million. I think, wow, really yeah, and that's a
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: hefty number right there. So I'm glad. But it didn't
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: seem crowded to me though, like Friday. All right, let's
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: go out. Thought Friday was crazy? You do? Yeah? Okay, good,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: because I want to talk about that. I know it's

  Speaker 1: The sad part about it. It's such a long intro.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: We don't get to hear the best part. We'll hear. Okay, good,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to whatever happened to George Thurger Is he?
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Is he still alive? Is he still around? That's a
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: great question. I have no idea, but I guess no. Oh,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: you think he's gone. I think he's still alive. All right,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: let's find out. So I went to dinner last night,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: letter with us he I was gonna say, I think
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: he is. How old is he? Seventy six? See, that's
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: not that terribly old, especially since I'm getting closer to it.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: But uh, there'll be a day when you like, I'll
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: never forget. When I was in high school, I used
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: to think thirty was so old same, And I'm like,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: I wish I was thirty right now. But uh uh,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: somebody told me last night, Well, I had some really
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: good friends I ran into last night at dinner and
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: they were on their way to see the Black Keys,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: and I was so young. Huh and you weren't. No,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: I didn't even know they were in town. This is
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: like the worst night to have a concert, the Saturday
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: after derby weekend or Sunday. Don't you think that's like
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: the worst time to have a concert.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: I mean you would think because there's not You wouldn't
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: think it'd be heavily attended because everybody so wore.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Out it was at the Palace. I would like to
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: know what if somebody out there went to the Black
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Keys last night, let me know and let me know
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: how it was and was it well attended, because I'm
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my gosh, I didn't know they were
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: in town number one And I would have loved to
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: have gone, but I think I would have been too tired.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Would you have gone last night? No way? Because why?
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: I mean I didn't. Maybe I would have because I
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: didn't go to the derby on Saturday. Okay, that's different.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: I had that extra day to rest. Yeah, all right,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: So let me ask you this, what did you think
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: about the oaks? Did you did it bother you? Well?
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: What was you think? What do you think the consensus
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: was on the city on the first Oaks being at
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: eight forty at night according to nine And do you
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: think it'll continue?
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: I think it definitely will continue, just because of the
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: number of eyeballs that were on it. But from my perspective,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: so I was telling you in that last break, I
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: left after the tenth race, right, I didn't want to
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: mess with all that. I was not trying to get
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: home at nine to ten o'clock whenever it.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Would have been.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So I left, and when I was on the
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: media shuttle heading back to the Expo Center, the amount
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: of people that were also leaving and walking down the sidewalks.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Was astonish, exactly. That's the part that bothered me. So
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: I ran into one of the key people at Churchill
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Downs will remain nameless, okay, but that was the big
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: concern because I would say probably tenth eleventh race people
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: just started leaving.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: Now at the same time when I was driving or
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: when I was riding back, there were also a ton
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: of people walking towards the track.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: I don't think they were going in. There's maybe not.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: But the concern that a few of the key people
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: at Churchill Downs were having is the fact that there
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: were now not just a few empty seats, but a
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: lot of empty seats. So I can say that you
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: know they're concerned about what it would appear on television,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: the appearance of having empty seats.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: It was I didn't I didn't think that played. Okay,
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: I was not watching the broadcast thinking whoa look at
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: all those people that left.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Now, because you know how they do it with like
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: baseball or football games, They never panned back or they
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: only time you can see how much how many people
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: are in the crowd is when they do a kickoff
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: or a punt and that's it. But they try to
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: have a close up on the field, so you don't
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: see how many people are the lack thereof just watching
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: a few teams on the UFL right now when it's
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: an empty stadum, they are really close up on the players.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: My only complaint that I have about Churchill from this weekend, yes,
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: the freaking lines for the damn dessert. All I wanted
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: was some freaking cheesecake on a stick.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Oh man, everybody, I don't get it. That in the
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: chocolate cover strawberries. I do not. Honestly, I don't get it.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Because you're right. That is the one line that is
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: probably all the way backed up to Jeffersonville. It doesn't matter,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: go ahead and say it.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter when you You can go during a race,
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: you can go right after a race, you can go
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: right before a race. There's gonna be a line of
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: about forty people. And it was so annoying because I
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: got everything I wanted from a food perspective, but I
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: never could freaking get cheese stick hard past.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was not interested. I will say the food's good.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: You know, everything's included. I do think that Churchill Downs
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: does a pretty good job at that. I do think
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: you can. Yeah, but I listen. I knew a bunch
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: of people that left and didn't intend the yolks. I think.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: I think the viewership went up. I think attendance went
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: down as far as uh people staying for the actual rate.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: But isn't that what they want? Isn't that why they
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: made this move to get more view balls on TV?
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not going anywhere. And honestly, the derby is
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: probably gonna do the same thing, right I tell you.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Oh well, I man, I hope not it is, I
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: guarantee it. Well, you know, if restaurants are going to
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: continue to have a problem with this, just switch it.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Here's what you need to do. Instead of having a
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: big dinner, as far as the dinner crowd, have a
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: brunch crowd. Yeah, so that's what the restaurants. So all
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: the restaurants that are complaining, just have a dinner a
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: brunch crowd. That's all I gotta do, no big deal.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: But there will still be people that don't go to
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: the track of wanting to go to your restaurant. Sure.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: So anyway, all right, let's go to a couple of
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: text five h two four one four fourteen fifty one
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Texters said, Sovereignty you would have won triple Crown last
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: year but opted out of Preatinus. Was this for you?
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Maybe I agree with it either way. Yeah, Sovereignty would
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: have won all three races, no doubt. Yeah, it would
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: not have been journalism that won the Preatness last year.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: But I mean I respect what he did because he
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: was doing what was the next Bill Mott who was
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: doing the right thing.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Any chance golden tempo sip sits out this next race.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: I want to get to that in a few minutes.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Hold on because that's one of my topics as well.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: I think that's a great question. One person said Matt
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Deaner at THRBY. And met Deaner at Thrby and he
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: couldn't have been nicer. Thank you. We briefly shared a
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: stand up table. I want to race off his shared
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: picks bet the in for the paper ticket. He was polite,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: cordial and inviting. He asked engaging questions. I worked in
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Simpsonville now and used to work at the YMCA, and
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I'd see him at the Turkey truck, but I never
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: introduced myself. I'm I'm glad I did. I won Thursday
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: and Saturday. Again. Very nice to meet you. Think he
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: meant to send that to the other station. Yeah, okay,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: well thank you for that. I'm glad you met somebody
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: at another radio station and he was very nice. Great
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: to hear that. We're all really nice. Newsflash. Well, well
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: can you I mean, wait a minute, wait a minue,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: wait a minute, at this station, I would agree no, I'd
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: say no.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Nine point two percent of media. Of people that work
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: in radio are very nice.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Extremely but there is one that everybody knows has a
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: problem with me. I never had a problem with him
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: until he had a problem with me. Yeah he is. Uh,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: he's a weird even still him.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: If you'd didn't know him and you just went up
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: and had a conversation, I'm sure you would think he
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: was nice. Okay, if there wasn't all the history, No.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: No, I would not. First interaction with him was weird. No, okay,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: my very first interaction with him was odd. And then
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: the other guy that used to co host a show
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: with me for two weeks, he was weird completely. He's like,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: you've listened to me on the radio? No I have it.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Aren't you a Bengals fan? Yes? I love the Bengals.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Well I did a post pre and postgame show. You
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: didn't listen to me? No, okay whatever? Uh. One person
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: texted in this past derby has made me realize realize
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: that I'm getting older. A couple of years ago, I
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: was pounding mint julips like there was no tomorrow Saturday.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: I had won and a half before switching to water. Wow.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Oh that's not good. I'm so sorry to hear that,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: but yeah, I had a few. Okay, my wife said, Michael,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: I'm going to pace you because she knows what a
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: lightweight I am. You just give me one drink and
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: I'm out. But she gave Are you ready for what drink?
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: She gave me first, Lily, No, no, I can't do
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: the vodka. No, I would be out with that. She
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: gave me a wine sprintzer. There you go, I know.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: I asked her, did it come with a training braw
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: but uh no, I just I looked at that, and
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, that's kind of good. I like that.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: Give me another one. Then you and I are different.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: I started the day with a Woodford on the rocks.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: Did you really? Actually, they can't do on the rocks anymore.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: So I had to have a splash something, so I
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: told him to just put the smaller splash of spride
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: in then that they possibly could.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: I didn't even taste the spride.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: Why can't they do I don't know? She said they
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: started that last year. This was the second year that
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: they can't do it on the rocks anymore, which has
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: a bummer because that's how I enjoy it.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: That makes zero So they want you to get it
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: diluted basically, so you're not getting ham Okay, that's just whatever.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, everybody's getting hammered out there anyway, come on.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Uh so, yeah, I went from spritzer to beer beer
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: to mint julip. I'm am I one of the few
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: that loves mint jewelib No. I think they're deliverous, awesome,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: and I think they do a really nice job of
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: making at Churchill Downs. Now well, I mean, all they're
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: doing is pouring it out of the bottle. They are,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: But it's good. Whatever brand that is. I think it's okay.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: I think Old Forrester does a great job. Now the
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: part that didn't sit well with me, you have to
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: pay for the Derby glasses this year. I didn't. Oh
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: you didn't. You had to You got them for free. Yep, okay,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: oh there you go.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: That's also another reason I didn't go back on Saturday.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: I was able to get mine on Friday.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: I was in the poor man's section, you were in
• 30:52

• 31:07
  Speaker 2: I wore some black slacks, some nice dress shoes, a
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: polo in a three quarter.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Z really okay? Good? No tie, no jacket.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: If I would have went on Saturday, I would have
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: want I would have worn a tie. But that was
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: also yet another reason why I didn't want to go,
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: because I just didn't feel like dressing up.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Why don't you feel like dressing up? I mean, I
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: feel like society does not dress up anymore. I love
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: to dress up. I'm because I don't dress up as
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: much as I used to.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: I like dressing up if I've got plenty of dress
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: up options to go with, but I am severely overweight
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: by my standard alsop, I'm not. I don't a lot
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: of my clothes don't fit anymore.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Sorry about that? Okay, yeah, well, okay, I'm sorry to
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: hear that. I'll tell you what was funny. So one
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: of my really good friends that we were with on
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Friday and Saturdayames Logan Pichelle, and his wife Dixie, we're
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: out there with us. His wife's name is Dixie. Yes,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: And the funny part is she's from Michigan. She's not
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: even from the South. But her name is Dixie. If
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: you ever met her, you would never forget her. Logan
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Pichelle is the president of Republic Bank. We're out there
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: and they're proud of their outfit because Dixie has on
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: this really nice looking lily pulletzer dress. Logan has a
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: lily pulletzer that matches exactly. Tie and you know how
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: you put the handkerchief in the jacket, he had that
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: that matched her dress. Michael Bennett shows up. He has
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: on the same pattern pants as both of them. Oh
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: my gosh, oh yes, and so we had to get
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: a picture. So I had on the same pants as
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: his wife's dress and his and his tie. Do you
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: and Patricia Gill matching? No, No, she's we're not doing that. Yeah,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: we do not ride the short bus, so we know
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: and we will never do anything like that person sept
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: I kept thinking they were saying the trainer was Marie
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Marie Levo figures she looked used voodoo to win the
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: derby Marie Leva that I have done that many times
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: when you can't understand what they're saying, and I'll say completely,
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: I'll do it when somebody I I met somebody this morning,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: I could not, and of course I don't remember his
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: name anymore. He's the trainer that took over for tom Amos.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: He introduced himself to me, and I still can't remember
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: his name, and I kept saying it the wrong way.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: But that's funny that you thought Scherie Devo's name was
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Marie Levo. That's gonna stick in my head. And now
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: when I go up to see Scherie, I'm gonna call
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: her Marie. Do you know who Marie Leva was? I
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: have no idea who Marie Levo is? She someone famous?
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: She was a Louisiana Creole practitioner of voo oh.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: That's why he said figure she used voodoo to win
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: the Derby. Do you believe in voodoo? Not really. No,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here and say I don't believe
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: it because I'm worried some person's out there gonna put
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: some voodoo spell on me. So I'm gonna say I
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: believe in voodoo.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not gonna sit here and say that.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: I'm throwing it out completely. But no, I don't think I.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Believe in it. That's a great text, by the way.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Forty eight Handley said there was a highly visible incident
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: just a few years ago in the British Cup where
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Johnny v was on a mare for Todd Pletcher who
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: wasn't warming up so well. She was one of two favorites.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: You see this, this thing's flipping around. I don't get it.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: She was she Where is it now? See? She was
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: one of the two favorites, so there was a lot
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: of money ragered she started and didn't run a jump,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: basically eased. Should the writer have reached out to state
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: to the state that if all right, all right, let
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: me ask you that, because I think that's let's leave
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: the people's name out of this. Do you think if
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: the jockey is on a horse and they notice something
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: is off, like in the Derby are one of the
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: really big races, do you think the jockey should say
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: something because they notice that this horse seems a little off.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: See I'm torn on that, because these jockeys are getting
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: a paycheck, right, and then the better their horse does,
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: the more money they're gonna make. But there's also the
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: ethical side of it, where if you are a jockey,
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: us as horse racing fans and the horse racing industry
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: as a whole. They have to be able to trust
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: the jockey in those situations. So I'm gonna go with yes,
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: the jockey should have to say something.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: See I am too. But he goes on to say
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: if he does, if the horse does scratch because of
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: the jockey saying something, where does that put the jockey
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: with the trainer? Does that threaten the jockey getting any
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: more mounts with the trainer? Yeah, I mean that's something
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: you gotta think about. It is something yet, but but
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: you know, is it about the horse or is it
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: about only getting more mounts? And to me, you gotta
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: say something. If you truly love these horses, you got
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: to say something and say, listen, I'm sorry your horse
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: is getting scratched. He took a misstep. Something's off well.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: And if the trainer and the owner love these horses
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: the way they say they do, they want to care
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: about them, then right then they're gonna be okay with
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: the jockey.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Exactly because he says gambling drives a sport. People have
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: to know their money is on a horse who isn't compromised.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: Forty eight Handley, I think that's a great question. I
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: love your comment about that because you're exactly correct. But anyway,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: all right, we gotta take another break. I'll get to
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: your text more more of your text tunes. We get back, uh,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: but I want to get back to talking about Golden Temple.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: Is it going to the breakness or not? We'll talk
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: about that. We got some UK news as well, and
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: then we got to talk about who's chugging beers out there?
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: I do love this so five O two three eight

  Speaker 2: He will not release his music catalog for anybody else

  Speaker 2: to be able to use.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: It's so annoying. Why is that? I have no idea.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: I mean to me, that hurts his product, which is
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: him interesting? You would think? Okay, yeah, I mean he'll.
• 39:25

• 39:28
  Speaker 2: about it.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, then he's going to be forgotten about. No way,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: He's one of you don't think that was one of
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: the greatest ever? Do it? Okay if you say so? Uh.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: One person texted in said long text coming, please bear
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: with me? Oh boy, are you ready? Sit back enjoy.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: They will keep the oaks late because of the viewership
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: and handle being so huge. Scoots. The dessert lines were
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: forever long because they don't have enough of those and
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: need to change that. I was shocked to see people
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: leaving the infield by hundreds at around seven pm. It
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: could be because the price out there are is out
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: there are subsidizing the all inclusive experience across the track. Well,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: they had a big stage out there. I don't know
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: who the acts were, do you. I didn't even know
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: they did shows out there. Oh yeah, I mean it
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: was all right if you're facing the if you're on
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: the stand side, clubhouse, grand stand side. The stage was
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: over to the far left. Yeah, I saw the stage, Okay.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that they did performances or anything out there. Oh,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: I assume that's what the stage was. Yeah, what else
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: would it be for people to go up there to stay?
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: Wats the horse race there?
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: It's a good point they're out there doing Hamilton. I
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: can watch Hamilton in the middle of races.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know. That would be awesome if they had
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: a musical going on in between the Oh, we gotta
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: pause right now because we've got a horse race going on,
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: and as soon as the race is going on, you
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: get Hamilton doing his long solo. That would be awesome. No,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: they're not going to do that. But I don't know
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: if you think that the infield is subsidizing the other side. No,
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: as much as the other side is paying for their tickets,
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: they're believing they're paying for everything.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, I would, I don't think the text is
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: that far off. You don't because in the if you
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: go over to the infield, you've got to pay twenty
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: two bucks for a Mintjulip for crying out.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: Loud, twenty two dollars for twenty.
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: Two dollars, Yeah, I mean it's ridiculous. How much as
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: a beer I want to say eighteen Maybe I don't know.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: I don't remember seeing the beer. So but either way,
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: they're they're obviously making some money, but they're not. I
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: don't think they're subsidizing the whole front side.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: All right, somebody that was in the infield text me
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: how much the beer was over there and a mint juelps,
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: But you said mint julbs are twenty two twenty two.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: You gotta believe that beer was that much too. So
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: you're looking at close to let's just say it was
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: fifteen dollars for a beer, and you know people are
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: drinking a bunch of them. You're looking at one hundred
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: and fifty dollars for ten beers. That's a lot of money.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: And how much was it taken to get into the infield?
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: Isn't it only like sixty or something? I think it's
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: more than that. Do you like the fact they close
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: it off to where you know, before people in the
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: infield could go over to the paddock area and walk
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: around the clubhouse and the grand stands. They couldn't get
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: up on the third floor, but they could walk around
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: outside the paddock. Now they are not allowed to do that. Really?
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: Does that bother you? Not? Really?
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: Because I mean, how would they control that, Like, especially
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: with the whole front side being all inclusive, you would
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: have people from the infield coming over and taking advantage
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: of that. Now I can go I could have went
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: to the infield from where I was at.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: You could have gone yes, because I did that last year. Yeah,
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: well you had your media pass, that's why.
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: But I mean, I feel like they'll let anybody from
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: the front side over to the infield because it's like
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: you're not.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: No, they don't let you from the front side to
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: go to the infield any or either. Yeah, because my
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: boys were really upset they wanted to go see some
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: of their friends of the infield. Huh, so nobody is
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: allowed to go between the two spots. I should have tried. Really. No,
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: Now see, you could have because your media pass. I
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: think you could have without any issue. One person said, Funny,
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: I was out at the track for thirty two hours
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: on oaksande Derby and the only horses I saw were
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: the mounted patrol drinking mint. Julips are for the tourist.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: No it's not. I'm born and raised here Jamie and
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: I love them and Julup. There's a song about Marie
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: Levo another man done gone. Look it up. You want
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: to look that up. I've never heard of that. I
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: don't funny this. It is interesting. I have never heard
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: of Marie Levo. Is she still alive? No way, so
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: she's long gone. Yeah, you mean her voodoo didn't save
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: her from dying.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: I think she was like seventeenth century. Yes, oh she is.
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: She was born in eighteen oh one.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't think. Why isn't she alive? IMNA guess
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: that she's no longer? I mean the guy from the
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: Green Mile is still alive, Tom.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: Hanks, she died in eighty one, so so much for
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: the voodoo only gave her eighty nineteen eighty one?
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: Correct? Yeah, okay, yeah, why didn't the voo? So if
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: you're a firm believer of voodoo, why didn't her voodoo
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: work on keeping her alive? Or does it only work
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: on evil? Maybe only evil? I don't know. Yeah, are
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: you into the uh? May the Fourth be with you? No?
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: Are you not? Really? I've never seen a single second

• 45:41
  Speaker 1: of old anymore. They sanitized it too much since the
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: early two thousand. Mint is a good way to ruin
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: good bourbon. Man. That's quite a take. You just can't disagree. Like,

  Speaker 1: where are you from? Louisville is what he would always say.
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: It's like, please stop saying that it's Louisville. I mean,
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: my goodness, you're a southern town. It's Louisville anyway, you know.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: I did. I did make a point asking a lot
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: of people if they thought Louisville was a southern town
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: or a midwestern town or a northern town. And I
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: had more people tell me they believe Louisville's a southern town.
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. Yeah, no it's not. It's the way it is.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: It's a southern town. Do we have many people on
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: the YouTube right now? We've got sixteen views today. Oh,

• 47:56
  Speaker 1: thirteen dollars. Oh that's right, thirteen dollars. Nick Rouse texted
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: into you so perfect. One person said, I think Churchill
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: is on uh in over its head. People paid a
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: lot of money for inclusive food and drinks, and lines
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: were long, and they ran out of food. Really, they
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: ran out of Dike Coke. I know that. And they
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: ran out of food. That's the crazy part. It's like,
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: what are you doing? You know, you're having a big,
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: big event. They do a phenomenal job. And the other
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: part that I really enjoy that they do, Justin, is
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: they get you in and out of there. Now. My
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: only complaint was I was trying to find this one
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: parking lot of Churchill Downs. Nobody knew where it was
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: and I had to find I drove around Churchill Downs
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: again on Friday trying to find where my parking lot
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: is and nobody knew where it was. That's drove be nuts.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: We have a call, all right, five two, three, eight, four,
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: fourteen fifty? Who is it? This job? Okay? John? How
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: you doing John? Did you have a good Derby weekend?
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks to Justin, I cashed in a little bit.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: Oh really, And uh, what specifically did Justin do to
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: help you cash in some money?
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: Well, when I was talking about which horse, horses or
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: horse I would like and I said renegade, Justin suggested
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: just go ahead and do that win play show across
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: the board bet ten dollars. Yeah, and I did he
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: hit second? I got second and third and I think
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: I made sixty three dollars.
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: So you doubled your money? Yep, Well down, Justin, I
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: need to start me a horse racing.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: Well show, and does Justin get a little commission from
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: your money? I think it's only.
• 49:41
  Speaker 4: Fair he did? He got an out of boy?
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: You know? Oh yeah, thanks a lot, kind of like
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: my two lunches. That's just that's an ad of lunch.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: And then Michael, go buy your own lunch. I'll just
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: tell you where to go. But what's going on, John,
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you have some basketball news for us.
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: Well, there's some young guy. I think he's from. I
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: don't know. He's foreign, Australian or something. I or fit
• 50:11
  Speaker 4: and I forgot where he's from. I'm not even really
• 50:13
  Speaker 4: concerned right now. Look, I just want them to put
• 50:16
  Speaker 4: a name on a piece of paper. How do you
• 50:17
  Speaker 4: feel about that, Michael?
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: You know, every time I read that we're expected to
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: be a finished at twelfth in the SEC and where
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: we are currently ranked in the preseason polls, I my
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: optimism keeps coming down a little chink on that chain,
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: and I the concern is not quite there, but it's
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: it's becoming a little quicker. So, you know, closer we
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: get to the season, you know, I'll give it some
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: time to see how they play together. But man, it
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: just it doesn't look really that good right now.
• 50:59
  Speaker 4: Well, if in hindsight, if we look back at last season,
• 51:04
  Speaker 4: they sat there and told us that we had a
• 51:06
  Speaker 4: really great roster and that when everyone got healthy, they're
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: gonna be good. And we were. We were predicted to
• 51:11
  Speaker 4: do a lot better than we did. So predictions and
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: what people think based on paper sometimes go out the window,
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: doesn't It?
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: Absolutely it does, because I know there is another team
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: just about fifteen minutes away from us that is continued
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: to spend all kinds of money and uh, you know
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: they got that five star Obina. Uh, how do you
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: say it? Easy? Okay, who reclassified from twenty seven to
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: twenty six. So they're doing something right over there. But
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: it doesn't necessarily mean it's going to equate to a
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: great team.
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: No, it don't. And they they're kind of pulling And
• 51:50
  Speaker 4: I don't want to like say that for sure, but
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: it seems like they're pulling a Mark Hope from last
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: season where he kind of like just grabbed that man.
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: I better grab all the stars that I can get
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: the best of this and the portal, the best of
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: that in the portal, and it's gonna come together. And
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: I don't think that always works out. But you know,
• 52:09
  Speaker 4: I'm not gonna say much more. Every time I keep
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: saying we're gonna get these guys or I feel good
• 52:14
  Speaker 4: about this, sometimes it comes back and we don't. So
• 52:17
  Speaker 4: maybe it's a little bit of a superstitious thing for
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: me now to just let it play out. As I
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: told justin this morning on his show with Sunriser Scoots,
• 52:25
  Speaker 4: which is a good show. If you guys ain't listen
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: to that, you need to check it out. But yeah,
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: but this morning, Michael, I'm up, got to go to work.
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: But I'm printing almost three hundred, three hundred cards I
• 52:40
  Speaker 4: made from this avery thing at Walmart. You pick them
• 52:43
  Speaker 4: up and it's how cheap I am, but you make them.
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: You can make your own business cards. And I'm printing
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: these business cards too because tomorrow I have that primary
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: race for election day and I'll be on the ballot
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: for Republican State Convention Delegate for Indiana. So trying to
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: pass he's out as people walk in and see if
• 53:02
  Speaker 4: we can get some few more votes. See if we
• 53:04
  Speaker 4: can finish fifth place or better out of twenty two runners.
• 53:07
  Speaker 4: I think the roll there was twenty two. There might
• 53:09
  Speaker 4: be nineteen now. So Michael wished me luck. I know
• 53:11
  Speaker 4: you guys are not into political stuff, and I'm not
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: trying to get you into it. I'm just telling you
• 53:15
  Speaker 4: what I'm doing as i'm speaking to you.
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate that, John, and am you know anybody
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: that runs for office. Even though I don't care for politics,
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: I respect because you're putting your name out there and
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: the fact that you're doing something like that, you're putting
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: your mouth money where your mouth is, and mouth where
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: your money is. And I respect that, and I do
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: wish you the best of luck. So let us know
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: how you do. And I do hope you get up
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: there and get elected. It would be.
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: Nice if I don't he at least we say we
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: tried it, and we keep moving all with life. God
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: has a plan for all of us, and keep our
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: heads up and let Christ be the light of your path.
• 53:54
  Speaker 4: That's what I always say. But thanks for always letting
• 53:56
  Speaker 4: me call in. I appreciate it. Kentucky. You'll be all right.
• 53:59
  Speaker 4: We'll be fine boys.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, sounds good. That's John. I appreciate you
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: calling in. And if you want to call in five two, three, four,
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: fourteen fifty, you want to text in, We'll get to
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: those texts in just a few minutes. But I do
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: want to talk about this guy Obina say it again,
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: a keasy He made the comment, of course he's the
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: five stars seven foot whatever player. It was kind of
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: a crazy Did you see the picture of him next
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: to Pat Kelsey? No? Oh yeah, it's it's yeah, it
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: almost looked clownish. I mean, and the classes just make
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: it worse. But uh, he chose you. This is what
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: I found interesting. You know, let me read it, and
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: then I want you to say, what's the first thing
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: that comes to your mind when when I when you
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: hear this, he said he chose U of L because
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: U of all has everything he needs in terms of
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: winning and development. I heard that and I thought, wait
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: a minute, it's where's the winning and where's the develo delopment?
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: Does Kelsey have any player right now in the NBA.
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: That I mean, that's the part of the quote that
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: really kind of throws me for a loop there, because
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: I get I don't know. I guess you could say
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: you developed Sonanda Frew and he went on and got
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: more money elsewhere.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: But I mean, when'sh Why does that help? I mean, okay, great.
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: Like, when's the last time Louisville actually had a good
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: big man?
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: It has to be Wowaku, right, I guess I mean that.
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: Is that a good name? I mean, I'm probably going, well,
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I looked at that and I thought,
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: who's Pat Kelsey developing? I didn't it's and I'm to
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: the point now I don't believe he wrote any of that.
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: I think his agent did. It has nothing to do
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: with that. It has one thousand percent to do with
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: how much he's getting paid there. That's all it is.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, since U of L got Papa John to
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: come back to U of L, all of a sudden,
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: you got all these players coming to the basketball team,
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: is that it is that? Where? Because where else is
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: the money coming from? Do you have any idea? No?
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: Sure don't. Because they're spending the most money in the country,
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: aren't they. And most people out there are getting on
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: social media and say, oh wait a minute, now U
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: of L is going to have the most expensive roster
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: and they're going to end up no better than UK
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: did last year's season.
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: Here's the thing, though, So you bring in a big
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: five star recruit last year in Mike kel Brown Junior.
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: He's had back issues all season long. Now you're bringing
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: in this kid who is the number two player in
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: the twenty twenty seven class. The only problem is he's
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: about two and a half feet taller than your head coach.
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: You think back issues aren't going to be a thing
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: for him too when he has to bend down all
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: the time to hear what Pat Kelsey's saying.
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: Come on, I'm right there with you. I mean, I'm like,
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: oh my goodness. So it's in all seriousness. It's a
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: great kid for Louisville. Oh it's yeah, it is. But
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: is he going to be ready for this season? I mean,
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: he's reclassifying from twenty seven to twenty six. Do you
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: think he will be ready to play with the big boys,
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: because that's another issue that a lot of people are
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: bringing up.
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: I would say it's probably gonna take him some time
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: to find his footing, but by the end of the season,
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: I would I'd fully expect him to be caught up
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: with the pace of the game, and yeah, I think
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: he'd be good to go.
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: How worry? How worried do you think BBN is getting
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: right now about this upcoming season, because you know now
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: they're saying, like I mentioned a couple of minutes ago,
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: they have them at finishing twelfth in the SEC, not
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: even midpack, towards the lower the bottom of the SEC.
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, you can freak out or you can just
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: see how it's all gonna play out, right. That's That's
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: kind of the way I'm going about it. Like Buzz
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: texted my show this morning and he said, oh, what
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: was the quote? He said, I gotta get that pulled up.
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: He said, I don't want to hear about the labor pains,
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: Just show me the baby. That's kind of how I
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: think about it. I get it because you know, you
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: know who the I think is the most optimistic fan
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: out there is JD Shelburn. And JD's talking to me
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: over the weekend and he's like, oh my gosh, man,
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: I'm a little nervous about this, but I'm gonna stay positive.
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, good for you. It's hard for me.
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to be I'm not I don't. I wouldn't
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: say I'm positive, but I would say I'm optimistic. But
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: if we get through December and we're I guess right
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: there at fifty to fifty, I'm gonna be nervous. It's
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: just not gonna work out. I mean, and then you
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: got a new athletic director coming in. Is he going
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: to keep Mark Pope does? Is that one thing an
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: athletic director wants to do in his first year at
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: a major school get rid of their biggest sport head coach?
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: Probably not. I mean it's it's not Ana too though,
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: But I mean, here's the deal with Kentucky. It's not
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: like you're two thousand and seven twousand or two thousand
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: and eight, two thousand and nine Indiana. Like you're not
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: pulling guys off the street. You you're getting basketball guys
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: who have had good careers at just other places, and
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: you just don't know how all those pieces are gonna
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: fit together at this juncture. But what's the point and
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: going into a season with a pestimistic attitude that takes
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: all the fun away from being a fan. So at
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: this point might as well just go into it positive, thinking, Hey,
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: these pieces will fit together. Better than I ever expected
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: them to. These guys are gonna go out and just hoop.
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: That's that's kind of what I see. I think this
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: team will more closely resemble year one for Pope than
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: year two.
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: I hope you're right. All right? Somebody texted in the
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: picture of all the drinks prices from the infield. Okay,
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: are you ready reddit Woodford Reserve Spire, which is a
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: Woodford Reserve lemonade Cranberry juice twenty two dollars. It's ridiculous
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: you said the mint jullip was twenty two. Soon had
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: one of those that actually sounds awesome. It does sound
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: pretty good. A margarita twenty two dollars, the Lily was
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: twenty two. A premium cocktail nineteen dollars, A shardon A
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: eighteen dollars. Eighteen dollars for a glass of wine. Yeah yeah,

• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: bucks and a soda was five. And why is water
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: more expensive? A bottle of water with six dollars yet
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: you can go get a diet coke for five dollars
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: should be opposite. Right, Yeah, well, water should be free.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna tell you, especially if it's a hot day,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: don't you think it should be free? They should have
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: like water stations set up. I do a that. Yeah,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: thank you for sending that into me text, because that's
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: so if you're going in and you're spending that money.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: Now you're going in, you're spending another couple hundred dollars
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: on just drinks. Yeah, that's a lot. I just I'm
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: not going there to get drunk. I'm gonna probably take it.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: Are you allowed to take in soft drinks or no? No,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: so you have to buy. You can take food in,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: can you? Well, for many years you could take food in.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: Can you not anymore? Since they made concessions free or
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: a part of your ticket. I don't know. That's a
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: great question. I've never tried. Okay, I know I've taken
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: food out. Yeah, you can't. And you can't carry the
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: alcohol out. You can carry a soft drink out or
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: a water, but you can't carry alcohol.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: They were very strict about that. There was one guy
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: at the gate. He was like, better chug your drink, ma'am,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: you better chug it. Got a couple hundred yards.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: Oh really? Oh boy? Okay, she said, can I dump
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: it out? He said, yeah, you could dump it out,
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: but I'd chug it, and he probably followed her to
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: a car. One person said, the infield isn't the fun
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: times of anymore. I've already read that one. So one
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: person said, Michael Breen here, I love the show. If
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: Kentucky basketball ends up in March, third in March, third
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: in the SEC, and is out of the NCAA in
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: round of sixteen, will you be ready to move on
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: from Pope? All right? So let me read that again.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: If Kentucky ends up March in March, third in SEC
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: and out at round of sixteen, are we done with Pope?
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: Justin I'll be honest, barring a Final four this year,
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: I'm done with Pope as it is.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: Alright. Unfortunately, I think the biggest question I got from
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: so many people this weekend and last week for that fact,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: was is Mark Pope going to be here for year?
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: I don't see that's the question. It's not how's the
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: team gonna do. It's not optimistical, we're excited about basketball
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: season next year. It's none of that. It has been
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: Will Mark Pope be here for year four, and I
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: mean I hope so, I mean I hope he is here. Well, yeah,
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: because that would mean that awesome. Right, But I'm getting
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: to a point now, he's got to have a really
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: successful season. A lot of people really believe that he
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: would resign. That's not happened. No, I don't believe Mark
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: Pope will ever resign. I mean because he believes in
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: himself that really that would be the thing to do.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: If if you're I mean, if if John cal Perry
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: walked away, shouldn't one of your own and Mark Pope
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: see that, hey, maybe this isn't going the direction that
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: it should be and he should probably walk away.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: A lot of people have said, and I can't confirm this,
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: that cal went back to UK. I don't know if
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: it was directly to Mitch Barnhard or not and said,
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: I know, I changed my mind and I want to stay,
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: and they wouldn't let him. Now you already breached a contract.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: We're done. Do you believe in that story? Kind of yeah?
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: Do you really a little bit? Yeah?
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: A small part of me does, because I mean, if
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: you're telling me too that he's leaving Kentucky for Arkansas, right,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: that doesn't really check out. I mean, credit to him,
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: he's made it work in his two years there, but yeah,
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 2: looking back, that doesn't make a hold.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: Well, what makes me kind of believe that story is
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: because look at the way he was responding when he
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: first went to Arkansas and you saw all the media
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: coverage that was happening and nobody was really supporting it,
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: and his face didn't look like he really wanted to
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: be there. I mean, it just did not look like
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: he was. He's like, what have I done? And he's
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: got nobody to blame but himself. But yeah, if if
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: we have a season like that next year, I think
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: Pope is done. I really do. I mean I really
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: believe he's got to be first or second, maybe third,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: but he's got to get to an Elite eight. If
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: he gets to an Elite eight with the team that
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: we're looking like that's coming around, I think that's a
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: pretty good season and he has to day. But he's
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: he's never going to resign. I can tell you that
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: right now. He will never resign on his own accordance.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: No way. But uh Patrick texted in and as soon
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: as I say that, nothing works, Oh I love technology.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: Uh No, me read it. Oh, yeah, read it because
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: it won't come up on my computer. He said, I
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: think the water was sent from Good Creeks. What's Good Creeks?
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Oh so they went just to a
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: local good creek and then dumped the bottles in there
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: and brought it over. Yeah, I don't know about that.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: He also asked, who does Kentucky have coming back? Well,
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: we know that whole list, Caam Williams.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Trenton, No, I haven't really heard from Malik Hi yet,
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: but you gotta believe he's coming back. He's not getting drafted. No,
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: Brandon Garrison is coming back, always does. Absolutely. I just
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: want to see your respond.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: If that was the case, I would probably have to
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: be done with this show. Oh come on, yeah, I
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: would have to be done.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: I just I can't. I can't take another year talking
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: Brandon Garrison. Okay, Braiden Hawthorne is coming back. Reese Potter,
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: Cam Williams, I think that's everybody right there. You think
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: Reese Potter plays a factor at all? No, I don't either.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't think. I don't think Braiden Hawthorne,
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: Trent Noah, Reese Potter play a factor. I just don't.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: I'm here to tell you right now, Braiden Hawthorne, will
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: do you really why do you say that? I just
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: think he's gonna beat because there's a reason he didn't
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: play last year, right, I mean, I don't know whether
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: it was because they just didn't want people to have
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: any tape on him. I feel like there's an underlying
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: reason why he did not see the floor, and that
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: just that to me just tells me that maybe this
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: kid's actually pretty decent.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: Much as I want to believe that, I just don't
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: see it happening. I truly. I mean, they brought in
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: his brother to keep him so he somewhat good. Yeah,
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: just like the part I don't like because I feel
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: like what everybody's saying on social media is right. I
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: just don't want to call out the young man. I mean,
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: it's just don't be doing that kind. That's that's when
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: I don't like social media, when people are saying, oh, yeah,
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: we know why you're coming, so I know, don't don't
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: do that. I mean, but I will say what I
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: kept saying about Cam Williams last year. I firmly believe
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: we're going to see that this year. We're starting to
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: see a little bit of it until he got injured.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: Of how great a shooter he potentially can be. He's
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: going to come here, he's going to be a lot
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: more relaxed this season, and he's going to get it done.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: So I'm looking forward to it. One person said, or
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: they got good water somewhere and that's where why it's
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: more expensive than the infield. The concession stand on Thurby,
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: the water was around four bucks, so they raised it
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: for the Derby. That makes sense, right, really it does.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: Why Why can it make sense to me? It should
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: be consistent throughout the entire week and what they sell
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: it for during the regular days out there at Churchy
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: No way. What if they did what Augustin National does
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: tall please and made everything reasonably priced, I'd be great.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: That's not happen. I mean they're making so much money
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: on everything else.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's why CDI is what it is, right,
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: because they they know how to make bookoo amounts the money.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: That's why they're able to go out and pay eighty
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: five million get the rights for the Preakness. Like they
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: they just want to continue to grow and grow and grow,
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: and if they make things cheap. They're not going to
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: obviously make as much money, but.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: You know, put it into perspective. You know, a couple
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: of weeks ago we talked about it. Somebody bought a
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: two year old horse for ten and a half million
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: dollars and Churchill only played eighty five million dollars for
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: the Preetness, Uh television rights. Don't you think that's kind
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: of inexpensive? Feels like it? Yeah, you buy a horse
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: for ten and a half that guy could have eight
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: times more, seven and a half times more could have
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: owned the rights to the Preakness. I'm thinking, Yeah, I wonder,
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: I wonder what he was thinking. So anyway, all right,
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: we gotta take another break. Five of two three eight
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: four fourteen fifty. If you want to call five of
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: two four to one, four fourteen fifty one, text me.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: Keep those texts coming in on the Whiskey Thief text lines.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: Stay right there. We're going to talk about a couple
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: of other things. I promise you I've been telling you
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: about this whole beer guzzling thing. We're gonna talk about
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: it next. Stay right there, excited time the time I've
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: had a large my past bust.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 3: Mind a couple of beautiful girls. Tell me good strutch, breakdown, dons,
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 3: run out politicians, Lin inspired by.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: The politic takes one the count of things I can come. No,
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: there ain't much, man, they ain't even letting me. Damn,
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: I like this. I have no idea who this is,
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: and I know I should. Yeah, I know. You can
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: look at me a little more and tell me how
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: ridiculous I am? Who is this? On account of you?
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: Sent me this? Saw? Oh? Is this Luke comb Sorry?
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know him. I just I saw this. There's
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: a reason I sent it to you because over the
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: weekend Saturday night, he was in concert down in nash Knoxville, Tennessee,
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: and there were a couple of guys that joined him
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: off stage to chug a beer. Okay, are you ready
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: for who the two guys that joined Luke Combs to
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: chug the beer, Peyton Manning and Josh Hipel. What do
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: you think about them and everybody recording them chug a beer?
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: Do you love that? So? You think it's a good
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: look to have your head coach and one of your
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: probably your most famous football player to ever play at
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: your school to get there and chug a beer. Yeah?
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: When they're supposed to do that behind closed doors so
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: they don't get judged.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: I'm they shot gun to a beer. I love. When's
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: the last time you shot gun to beer? Probably a
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: couple of years ago. Really, it's been more recent than
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: I think. Okay, yeah, I know my boys will do
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: it every now. Didn't challenge me? And guess what, Michael
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: Bennet loves a good challenge, and I take it and
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: you lose every time. Probably so. But I love chugging
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: a beer. I mean, I thought it was funny. But
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: then a lot of people are criticizing that's not the
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: way we win our head coach at I've got no
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: criticism here.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, if I can, if I don't care what
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: position I'm in in terms of a job, if the
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: opportunity arises where I can shotgun a beer with Luke Combs,
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: I am shotgunning a beer with Luke.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: I think it's just in good fun. I mean I do.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: I There are a lot of people that got on
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: social media says that's not wow. I want Peyton Manning
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: to act in my head coach, It's like, let him
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: have some fun. They're human too, Why can't they act normal?
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: Because you're out there doing it as well. Don't tell
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: me you hadn't chugged.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: A beer right now. I mean with Peyton, I don't
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: know why there's any pushback. Who cares like that's great.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: Because he's kind of an example. He's kind of your
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: he was an example, your flagship quarterback for many years,
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: and they think it's a bad look for the youth
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: to Yeah, but.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: Half mostly youth alive don't even know that Peyton Manning
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: was quarterback in Tennessee.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I agree with that.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 2: They remember he was for the Colts and the Broncos
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: in the NFL, but not Tennessee.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: I think, well, I'm they're a Tennessee fan, they remember,
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: don't Don't you think that, Uh, there are a lot
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: of kids today that are UK fans realize that Tim
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: Couch was probably one of the greatest quarterbacks in UK history.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: Or do you think they do not remember that or
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: know that Tim Couch was a great quarterback at UK.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: I'd say only forty percent No if yeah, interesting, I
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: mean I could be wrong in that, but all right,
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: let me ask it this way. Do you think that, uh,
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of youth today that are UK
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: fans basketball fans that don't know who Jack Gibbings is. Yes,
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: y wow, Okay, I mean that's you're going back thirty
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: more years than Tim Couch. Yeah, you're right, Yeah, yeah,
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: you're talking nineteen seventy eight was his last year at UK,
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: so you're talking fifty years.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: I mean there's probably kids that even listen to the
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: radio broadcast that don't know that that's a guy that
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: played at Kentucky.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: You think it's that many though? Yeah? Okay, all right,
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: then that's.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: Say only ten percent of Kentucky fan youth know who
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: Jack Gibbons is.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: If my gosh, if that man? Okay, well, let's talk
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: about the roster for next year for UK basketball. Who
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: do you think is going to be the big surprise?
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: I mean you got Braden Authorne. We just talked about
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: Rhys Potter, Trent Noah, cam Williams all coming back. Uh,
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: you got Mala Chaimarno. Who's most likely coming back? Justin
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: McBride wusmain in Day Is that good? I think it's
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: Enjai Enjai Zoom Diallo all the transfers. You got Mason Williams,
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: the four star point guard committing so what do you think?
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: Who who those players? Besides? Because we all agree Malachi
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: Marino is going to be the number one player on
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: the UK's roster Latin last year.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: Disagree one thousand. Really, no, I do not think Malachi
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: is going to be the man who next year's team.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: Who's going to be the man? It's a guy you
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: didn't even name? Who, did I miss?
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: I think Alex Wilkins is going to be the big
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: surprise of this That's why I said Alex Wilkins. No,
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: you maybe did, Maybe I just didn't. Okay, but let's okay,
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: go ahead. I do I think Alex Wilkins is going
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: to be the surprise of this team. I don't know
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 2: why I think that. I have nothing to back that up.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: I don't not even all that privy to the stats
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: that he put up last year, So I don't really
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: have a reason to say that. I just I really,
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: for whatever reason, I really like that kid.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: Huh. I really think the surprise player is going to
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: be Zoom Diallo. It'll be Cam, it will it'll be Cam.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: That'll be mine, But he shouldn't be the surprise player.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: I still think that he's that player that won't be
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: the surprise, but still be a good player.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, if he's knocking down let's say
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: three and a half, three is a game that puts
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: him in the surprise player category, right, Yeah.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: I guess so. But I mean I was predicting him
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: last year to be a really good player, and that's
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: why I'm not saying he's going to be the surprise.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: Well and last year, at the end of the year,
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: he was a pretty good player, yes, exactly, once they
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: came back from the injury he was he was good.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I'm still gonna stick with Zoom. I think
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: people are gonna be pleasantly surprised. I'm kind of wishing
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: that Trent Noah becomes that player as well, that we
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: get a couple of players that are going to be surprises.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: And it's like, where is Trent Noah ben? I mean
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: that'd be greareat.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: I mean that would if Trent Noah just takes even
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: a half a step up, Yeah, just even a half
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: a step. That adds so much to this It does,
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: I mean it really does.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: I mean you or maybe Justin McBride, I mean, what
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: if we got three or four players as like, wow,
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: this is surprising. They just geled together and all of
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: a sudden, they in the top twenty five. They get
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: on a run. Now they're in the top twenty, they're
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: in the top fifteen. Now we're getting close to where.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: You know, maybe I don't think this is going to
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: be a team that potentially could be a number one
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: seed in the NCAA tournament, but I think they could
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: get you know, if they can get to a two seed,
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: that would be the peak. If they can get three
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: or four seed, I'm really happy.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you should be when you you're just
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: you're literally just throwing all these players together and hoping
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: that it works.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just like, okay, I'm just throwing all this together.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: Let's hope the ingredients work and we get a really
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: delicious cake. I mean, that's the kind of dessert I
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: really like.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna be a really delicious cake,
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: but I think it's gonna be.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: An edible cake. Yeah. Yeah, But edible doesn't mean it's.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: Really that not edible in the way of your wife
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: made it and you're just eating it to make her happy.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: Edible in the way it has happened before. By the way, Oh,
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: I assume it has yeah edible in the way of
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: like you just keep going back and digging in and
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: you're like, this is this is okay.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: Not the best cake I've ever had, but it's okay.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: One person said that this UK roster is not that bad.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: He needs one more guy, a stud maybe from NBA,
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: guys that don't like the projection. This is a good roster.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: That's the one thing about Tyron Stokes not coming to
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: UK that Mark Pope that freed up a bunch of
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: money which maybe allows him to get one or two
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: players that And I think that's great post our text
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: because there's gonna be some guys there that are not
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: going to see or like their projection. Their age is
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: going to say, you know what, UK is a good option.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: You're gonna make more money, You're not going to the
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: G League, and you get to going to get to
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: play for UK.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's just with with this roster there's no
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: sexy name, and I think that's the problem that that
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: fans are having with it and what Mark Pope's doing.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: There's not that stand doown name now. If you're able
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: to get mom Chilovich, if he hops out of the
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 2: NBA draft, and you can add him to the fold
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: seven footer near seven footer shooting forty for three. That
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: that is star power. And if you add that to
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: all these guys that have just been pieced together, I
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 2: think that's a roster that can work. So there there
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: is some truth to that. It does feel like there
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: are only one stud away from potentially putting it together
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: a team that could make some noise.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: Why do you say Malachi can't be that one player.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: I think he can be. I think year two of
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: Maliki Moreno can be that stud. I'm surprised you say that.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 2: Look, I believe in Malachi, always have ever I've called
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 2: games for him in high school, Like I believe in
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: that kid. Okay, but I didn't see enough out of
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: him last year for him to tell me that he's
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 2: gonna take that this massive step up and be one
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: of the focal points for this team. He's going to
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 2: be a focal point. I don't think he's going to
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: be the focal point.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: Hmm, all right, and you think it's it's gonna be right, I.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: Hope I'm wrong. I would love to cook up some
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: crow and eat it. I mean, if we get to
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 2: this fall and he's tearing it up. He's added some
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 2: post moves, has better footwork. I mean he needs better hands.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 2: I think there's a lot that Malachi needs to improve.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: On, but to be like glimpses of what he could
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: potentially come and I think year two of Malachi he
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: makes that big jump.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: Truthfully, I want to see Malachi extend the floor. We
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: saw that game winner against LSU that was dang near
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 2: from beyond the perimeter, knocked nothing, but net I want
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 2: to see him step back a little bit at incorporate
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: that mid range game, incorporate potentially taking threes to his game,
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: and see where that taks.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: Okay. One person said Michael, I've always wondered what the
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: phrase meant he or she is too smart for their
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: own good, and wondered what it really meant. But now
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: watching Mark Pope handle recruiting, I now understand the phrase,
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: and you know, he is just brilliantly smart, and maybe
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: he is too smart for his own good. I don't know.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: I would love to sit in a room and figure
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: out what is he saying that it's turning off players?
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: What is he saying that's not really turning on the players,
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: Because what do you think it is. Do you think
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: Mark Pope is turning them off or do you think
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: he's just not motivating the players enough for them to say, Ooh,
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: I want to play for Mark Pope.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 2: I mean I think it can be a combination of both, right,
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 2: I mean you go into a place and you don't
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 2: always feel the best when you're there, right, So yeah,
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: I think it could just be one of those situations
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 2: where players aren't feeling all that comfortable when they go
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: to a place like Kentucky or Lexington, and especially when
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: they're getting brought to Keenland, Like, we got to stop that.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 2: We've got to stop that. Let these players figure out
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: Keenland on their own, stop introducing them to Keenland.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: Did you like the bucket hat that Mark Pope had on?
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: If they recruit when they were going fishing? Wasn't that
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: it was? Yeah? I don't know.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 2: Maybe if they would have cut a little bit bigger fish,
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 2: he would have gone to conduct.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not anything. I would want my picture all
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: over the country with a fish like that.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: Maybe when they caught it, Pat Mark Pope tried to
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 2: make a joke, Oh, it looks like Pat Kelsey, And
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 2: then a Keasy's wheels started certing, maybe I go play
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: a Louisville.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: Wow. One person texted in said, the balls fans threw
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: mustard and all kinds of trash onto the field a
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: few years back, so let's not let them act all
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: high and mighty. I couldn't agree more. They Yeah, you know,
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: they had to cover down in Knoxville at Nayland Stadium.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: They had to cover where the tunnel where the players
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: come out because fans would throw stuff on their own players.
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: That's really sad when you have to cover up where
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: your players, your own players come out so they don't
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: get hit with anything. I try to think of what
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: would be the worst venue to be head coach at,
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: and I'm pretty much every single year I'm one place.
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: And it's not because I'm biased, But where do you
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: think the most difficult job to coach at? Where your
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: fans turned on you? In a New York second in
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: football in the SEC in football, Yes, Florida. You think
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: it's Florida. See, I've always been in a contention. It's
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: either one or the other. It's either LSU or Tennessee.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: Because they get so drunk at LSU if it's a
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: night game. They got those Cajuns down there are fixing
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: that food. They have some of the best tailgates in
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: the world, and I worry about being down there. I
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: don't think I would want to be coach at LSU,
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: but even more so, they are so they have such
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: unrealistic expectations. At Tennessee, I don't think I would want
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: to be Josh Hipel. I mean they've let him skate by. Yeah,
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: they have been anything. But I tell you what, I
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: I just man, they haven't been that relevant in a
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: long time. But I don't know, I just feel like
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: it's Tennessee. Uh, UK, what do you think about this?
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, we didn't get to talk about much last week,
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: but UK football is number six ranking class of twenty
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: seven kill and in the transfer portal for twenty six
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: ranked eleventh. I can't believe. And I ran into will
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: Stein at the track. Look, you didn't, couldn't get out
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: of his lib I'm coming, I'm coming out of the bathroom. No, no,
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: stop it now. I well, I literally did run into
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: him coming out of the bathroom right there where I
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: was sitting at Churchill Downs and there he was, and
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh wow, he's about the height of Justin Kaylin.
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: Did you talk to him? Absolutely? I walked straight up
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: to him. Will I'm Michael Bennett. Great to meet you.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: Told him I did a radio show. I'm trying to
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: get you on. So yeah, we'll see if he does.
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but he was very nice to me.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: I was right there with Todd. Todd Lantern and I
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: were walking out of the bathroom together. If you don't
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: remember Todd Lantern, no, I figured you did. Played for
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: cal Well. He sat on the bench for cal It. Yeah,
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: he's the one married to Maria Montgomery. I don't know
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: who that is, missus Kentucky. Sorry, Mike, I'm not up
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: with my you look. You look up Maria Montgomery and
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: you'll recognize her. She does a bathroom commercial right now.
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: She's all over FanDuel. She's on everything. She's she's a
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: nice girl. So all right, we got taken our last
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: break A good night. It does it does every day. Huh,
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: hello Maria? You don't recognize her? Really? Okay? All right?
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: She does one of those bathroom model commercials. And I
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: guess you don't watch udeling shows. Well know that no
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: A FanDuel. She was on FanDuel all weekend. They're folding. No,
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: I don't watch them. Well, that is true, kind of
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: like Spirit Airlines have you. I wonder how many people
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: got stuck in Louisville because of Spirit Airlines. That was crazy,
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: That was kind of sad. And then there was one guy.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: They showed a video. He was a pilot for Spirit
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: Airlines for many years and he was retiring. Did you
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: see that? And Southwest Airlines did something really nice and
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: I thought that I loved that they did that. Anyway,
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: I do have a couple other things I want to
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: talk about in the Kentucky Derby when we come back,
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: and we'll talk a little bit about UK baseball as well.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: Stay right there five o two three eight four fourteen fifty.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: We'll take your text messages up. We can go to
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: the end five two four to one four fourteen fifty.
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: I have no idea what I just said there, But anyway,
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: stay right there a little more. Just the guy's coming up.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: Just don't know me. The Bard and Quitar hell roll
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: last segment on this Monday, fab two three four fourteen fifty.
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: You want to call in Fablo two four one fourteen
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: fifty if you want to text in on the Whiskey
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: Chief text line, or you can tune in for the
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: Last You Know on YouTube if you want to look
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: that up. It's a Big X Sports Radio Louisville. Uh,
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: John here, Hey, Michael and justin Coach Pope went fishing
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: with C. J. Rosser. Oh yeah, yeah, I thought it
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: was a key I agree with the text on potential
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 1: NBA guys who find out they do not like their
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: draft stock position? So do I also, could Malachi help
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: land a guy or so they went through the NBA
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: combine together? I like that idea right there. Could you
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: utilize Malachi? You think Mark Pope is talking? Hey dude,
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: I know you're coming back, but can you befriend some
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: people in the combine and try to convince them to
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: come to UK? Is there any way you think players
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: are trying to do that? I think so. I mean
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: it's a great idea in theory. Oh, just like I
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: think Jasper Johnson was trying to get Tyrone Stokes to
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: come to Oregon because he and Jasper were playing on
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: travel teams together, and I guarantee it Jasper was trying
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: to recruit him. So yeah, I think that's a great idea.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: They got to speak with each other. Malachi maybe a
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: big impact on this team and with the guys he
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: is around now. So fantastic idea right there. One person
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: said she does a bathroom commercial, talking about Maria Montgomery.
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: I said that didn't I I'm not sure that's how
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: she would want to be described. Ha ha, oh sorry
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: about that? Oh I get it. Okay, Yeah, she does
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: a bath Okay, she does a bathroom remodel commercial. How's
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: that that's better? Yeah? I guess that's one of those
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: things you don't want to be a part of. I
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: don't think you would want to be in commercials for
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: bathroom issues, or you definitely don't want to be a
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: man with one particular issue. I'll be in whatever commercial
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: you want. You will, okay, So I don't care if
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: it's if it's for an eedy drug, you would do it,
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: would you really? Okay? Well, you know I was with
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: JD over the weekend. J D. Shelburn had a phenomenal
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 1: time with him. Love his wife, nicest lady ever meet
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: in your life. I told her I need to be
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: in your next video. What do you think if I
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: was in one of his next videos? How ridiculous? Would
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: I look, He's like, yeah, man, you need to do
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: a video with us. He did say yeah, Oh, of course,
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: he said, that's an awesome idea. Of course, I don't expect.
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he's just being really nice. But tell me
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: need to write a Kentucky song. Oh my gosh, what
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 1: are you talking about? Like just a song about Kentucky athletics. Oh,
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: he's written songs about the state. I was gonna say,
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: outside the songs about that, write a song about the
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: athletic apartment. Yeah. We have another good friend that joined
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: us for dinner with JD and JD's wife. I won't
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: say his name, but he's been a friend for a
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: while now, and he's a lawyer, very successful lawyer up
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 1: in New York City, and we swear he is in
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: the CIA, but he won't say. I have bought him
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: so many drinks to get him liquored up to tell
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: the truth, and he still doesn't say. But he's done
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: all kinds of negotiations between countries hmm, and gone to
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: those countries and he won't tell us everything, but he
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: gives us bits and pieces. Would you ever love to
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: sit down and talk to somebody that was in the CIA.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: I mean not if they're not gonna spill anything. No, yeah,
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: I get it, but I think he kind of likes
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: the fascination of we're fascinated by him because we want
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: to know if he's in the CIA. I swear he is.
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: I promise you I think he is. Did you like that?
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: This was one criticism. I heard a lot of people
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: reach out to me, Michael, we want you to talk
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: about this on the radio on Monday. All right. I
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: don't know if you saw it or not, but I'm
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 1: not kidding. I've had a number of people reach out
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: to me, you have to talk about this on the radio.
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: So you decided save it for the last two minutes?
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: Oh should I save it for you tomorrow? Then? Just
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: saying if you got that many requests to talk about it,
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: they're gonna be mad when Yeah, you're right. I know
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: I messed up. They said there was a commercial right
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: before the derby about Nashville, Tennessee. Did you see it?
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it was. It was promoting Nashville.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: Come to Nashville and have a vacation or visit. I
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: don't think I remember seeing that. Well, they didn't like
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: it and Honestly, I look at that and I think
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: that's in poor form. You know, this is the Louisville event.
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: You got enough Nashville crap going on. Save the Nashville
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: crap for your own Nashville crap. What do you think?
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it probably could have been timed a
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 2: little bit better than it was. Inherently, I have no
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 2: problem with them running in Nashville Camarillo in the Louisville market.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 2: That that doesn't bother me at all. But yeah, to
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: run it right before the Derby, that seems a little insensitive.
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: I didn't like it. I thought it was in poetaste
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 1: for Nashville. You know, now you mentioned it, now I
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: do kind of remember. Okay, uh, Golden Tempo. Is it
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: going to race? You do? You do you think it's
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: going on to the Preakness. I'm gonna say yes. I'm
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: gonna say yes. Yeah, I think he goes on. But
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna be a triple ground one. No,
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: I just don't think so. I don't either. As much
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: as I want it, i'd love it. I mean, it
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: was so cool to watch you said it. Watching Shari's
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: response winning the race the other day, because I'm telling
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 1: you that's not her personality. She's very serious and when
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: it comes to seeing her around the track or at
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 1: auctions or anything kind of stuff, she's very serious. Her
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: husband's the same way. That's why they get along. They're
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: just they're very serious people and boy do they know horses.
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: So congratulations to Shrei Devaux. I want to say it again,
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: Congratulations to her husband one of the greatest bloodsuckations in
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: the country, if not the world. David and Gordo. Just
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: a tremendous job. What a fun weekend it was justin.
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 1: I am sorry it's over, but it was a fun weekend.

  Speaker 1: So it was. One person said, Scoots is just yelling,
• 1:33:59
