• 2:39
  Speaker 1: to know who I am, and I'm just you know,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I put I had a little smile on my face
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and the other guy was laughing. She did not laugh
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: at all. She just glared at me. She goes, it's
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: my job to know who you are. And I said, ma'am,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I was just kidding. I hope you have a great Friday,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: and she didn't smile up. They must not have got
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: a donut delivery to wow. I don't know. I mean, shit,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I just need to know if you're an employee of
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Churchill Downs, are who you are. It's like, okay, all right,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, I fully said my name. I said, well,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I got an owner's past that gets me back here,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: and she goes, oh okay, And I just I was
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: just trying to make light of it because she was
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: a little too serious. You're literally wearing a hat that
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: has a stable I know, exactly, and I have a
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: little jockey silk on the side. Do you think that
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: would be kind of a dead giveaway? But you know,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: some people like to have a little power trip and
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I just I wanted to make light of it and
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: just have a little fun because she was a little
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: too serious. But she didn't, she did not go for it.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: You know, there there are people out there. Did we
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: talk about this last couple of days you just can't
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: tease with Yeah, And I just I think that's sad.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Just like the name of the horse that my friends owned,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: so happy they it's a joke. It's a joke to
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: their trainer, Mark Glatt, who never smiles, who does not
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: have much of a personality and love, and he laughs
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: about it now. He loves and embraces the fact that
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: they named a horse that makes fun of him. And see,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I love that if somebody made a horse. You know,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: people are constantly making fun of me, people I don't know,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: people I've known for many years, and I embrace that.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I think it's funny for the most part. What's that
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: you make it easy? I do make it easy, I
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: know I do. And when I make it so easy,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: when I tease something up, I'll even make fun of me,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: and I'm okay with that. I just listen. If you
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: can't laugh, then how do you enjoy life? So I
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: don't know. I just it's just like, what are you okay, ma'am?
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: That's what I really wanted to say, Are you okay?
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: And she goes, Oh, I have a nice weekend, I said, ma'am,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I hope you have one too. I just walked out
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: and I just kind of I just guy shook my
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: head and walked out. It's like, Wow, what an experience
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: I've had this week. I've had countless cars pull out
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: in front of me, almost wrecked me, and in the
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: night's I had a wreck this morning with a So anyway,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I hope this is not kind of the prediction of
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: how my week is gonna go with Derby Week, so
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: but I'm looking forward to it. The balloons were fun
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: to see this morning, as you mentioned just a little
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: bit ago, that was cool. Is there? I know I
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: asked you earlier to speak, but remind me what is
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: your favorite outside of the race that is your favorite event?
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Thunder over lit? Okay? Is there anything else during Derby
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Week that is fun to you?
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think a lot of the events are fun.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: I just I don't attend to them. Like I don't either.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Like I think the hot Air balloon race I think
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: is awesome. The balloon Glow I think is really cool.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I think that balloon glow is beautiful. I have been
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: to the balloon Glow on a couple of different occasions,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: but not for many many years. Yeah, I've never been
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: to it, But I think the whole duck, the rubber
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: duck thing's pretty cool where they just dump all those
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: in the river.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Is that a Derby week thing? Yeah, it is, okay.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: They got a huge inflatable duck on top of the
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: building next to you was crab shot.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Have you seen these snails around town? I've not seen one.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: I've been looking everywhere. I cannot find them anywhere. I
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: have seen a couple of them, So I know it's
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: for something, awareness of something, but what is it?
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: So every snail, to my knowledge, every snail's got a
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: QR code on it. Yes that if you take a
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: picture of or whatever, it'll lead you to website. But
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: I think every snail is tied to a different sort
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: of what's the word I'm looking for?
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Charity? I guess. Oh, it is like one of the foundation.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Maybe one of them I think is maybe like autism awareness,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: and then the other two are something different. So it
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: is a really cool idea.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Is that something the city of Louisville did.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: I don't think so, because I think they've went across
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: the whole state. Oh really, I want to say this
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: is maybe a national thing.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Oh I didn't realize. I thought that was just a
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Louisville thing. So you think it's across the state.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: I'm not one hundred percent sure, but I want to
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: say it's it's even more bigger than the state. I
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: want to say it's national lovenation we're.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Giving right now. This is across the world. You can
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: go to Italy and find these snaps.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah they're I mean they're floating across the Pacific Ocean.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do. I enjoy giving misinformation. So yes, this
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: is something that we're celebrating all the way. I think
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: that the Artemis drops them off towards the moon, so
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: if you're traveling that way you might see one.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, it is Louisville, Okay, it is just they originated
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: in Goshen and they are Oh really, there's thirty five
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: of them. I thought there was only like three, but
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: there's thirty five of them. They're they're heading to the
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: twenty one Sea Museum.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: That makes sense because of the penguins. Wait, I bet
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: you well. They're famous for the penguins. The twenty one
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Sea Hotel has penguins down there. You didn't know that.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: You can actually go by. It's like their mascot or something.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: It's a cool place. So got a great restaurant by
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: the way. Yeah, they have a dish called grilled octopus. Oh,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: maybe i'll see one when I go through downtown to them. Yeah,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: I've seen a couple of there's one down there by
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: uh the river, around the bridges or something down there
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: in River Road.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: I did see that they were there a couple of
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: days ago, but I don't know I missed them.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Are they constantly moving them? Yeah?
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: No, that they they moved there on their own. What Yeah,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: people aren't moving. These snails are literally moving on their own.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: They get into traffic, No, they I mean they're staying
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: on like sidewalks and stuff or going through grass.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's weird. Yeah, I like it. That's cool. I
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: like the idea, and I like that that the city's
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: doing something like this, So anyway.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: The aim is to support Norton Cancer Institute breast health program.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: There you go is what it's. Yeah, so it's gone
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: from it's all over the country, it's all over the world.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Are multiple foundations, and it's now down to one thing
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: and only the City of Louisville. I love countless misinformation
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: that you gave within the last two minutes.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: It turns out I knew absolutely nothing about these snails.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: You are just the encyclopedia that I needed. I didn't
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: know that I need, so thank you very much for
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: all that. So yeah, I'll go ahead and announce to
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: everyone that and it'll be all the wrong information. So
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: when I won't get to the fact, just call you anyway.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: But it's Friday. I'm looking forward to the weekend, and yes,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: I am looking forward to Derby Week, even though it
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: creates a lot of crowd and I gotta be around it.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: But it'll be fine. I've already got it. All starts
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: for me as soon as this show's over. I mean,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: I'm go, go, go, and it just doesn't stop. So
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: I'm already tired. But it'll be fun week, and you
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: know you and I you'll do your show as long
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: as as well as just the cats next week at
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the backside. So we encourage you if you have one
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: of the accesses to get back to the backside of
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Churchill Downs, please come say hello to us.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Oh you can get back there next week. Anybody can
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: get back there next week.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Right. See, there's another misinformation, so I appreciate it. It
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: is not true. You have to have a past, you
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: have to know an owner, a trainer or somebody back
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: there to get in. You cannot walk back there.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Well then where all these like school kids coming.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: From somebody's allowed them to come back there? You cannot.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: You do not. So please, if you think you can
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: get to the backside of Churchill Downs, don't do it.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: You can't hit me up. Yeah, you cannot do that.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Now you can go to the front side, so where
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: the clubhouse and the grand stands are. You can go
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: there and watch because they have done at the Downs,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: which is a lot of fun. But you can't go
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: to the backside. Okay, so stop saying that that's not allowed.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: But yeah, there's no way.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: All the people that are back there know an owner,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: a trainer or something to get.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: To the back yeah, there's no way. Okay, well don't
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: buy them. Stop stop saying that you're gonna have a
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: lot of people there and they're gonna give you a
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: hard time. So anyway, they don't know who I am. Yeah, exactly,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Well and you think they know who I am? So no, anyway,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Uh but yeah, well we'll have a good time. So
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I I look forward to probably just the horse racing itself.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm gonna go out to Churchill Downs tomorrow
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: and Sunday. They haven't done Sunday racing of Derby Week
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: in a long time. I'm looking forward to that. And
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: you know, I always it's nice when they open Keenland up,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: but I love it more because when they opened Churchill
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: just because it's in our town. I mean, I know,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Keenland is in a beautiful spot. Churchill Downs is not.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I get it. But think about it. One hundred and
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: fifty two years ago, do you think Louisville was developed
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: as much as it is today? No? No, that was
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: probably country back then, don't you think probably? I would
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: think so. I don't know, have you ever.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Seen the first renditions of Churchill Downs, like when it
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: first became a thing.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: I have a picture of it. God, it looks weird. Yeah,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: it does so weird. I know, I know it does.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: It's just the twin spires and that's basically it. So
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: And you realize when I was a kid, the paddock
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: was in a shed. It was a large shed, but
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: it was under roof and you had to walk around it.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: So it was under yeah, so that when it rained,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: horses wouldn't get wet or anything like that. And of
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: course nowadays it's completely outdoors except where they saddled the
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: paddock is awesome. You like what they've done to the past.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: I think they did an incredible job.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: So do you think all the renovations that Churchill Downs
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: is done you like? Because my parents did not like
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: it at first because they thought it took away from
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: the traditionalist side of Churchill Downs with the twin spires. Sure,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: so everything on each side kind of took away the
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: twin spires.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: No, I mean, the twin spires are always going to
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: be iconic, like they're always gonna stand taller than anything else.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: So I don't have any issue with them wanting to
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: build around. Look, you got to make things better as
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: time goes along, right, And I think a lot of
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: the changes they've made. Look, I'm not crazy about all
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: of them, but I've eventually come around all of them.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Like that first turn, it wasn't crazy about them doing that,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: But now anytime I'm there, I think it looks really
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: really good and adds a ton of seating and the paddock. Yeah,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: like I said, I think the paddock is just tremendous.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because I've always felt like the greatest looking paddock
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: was Golf Stream, and Churchill Downs is now very similar
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: to Golf Stream.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: I like how I just like how inclusive is maybe
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: not the right word, but how neat they made it
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: for fans to just walk up to that railing, look down,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: you can watch all the horses.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: It's really cool. And you know what, it gives a seat.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: It gives you something that you only see on TV
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: that you can now see in real life.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: It's the surprising part. It's a really good seat. I've
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: gone over there just to see, uh what the view
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: is like. Churchill Downs took me over there just kind
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: of because I was trying to get some tickets for
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: a large group and they said, Michael, come look at this.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: I promise it's not as bad as seat as you think.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I walked over there, and I'm like, this is a
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: really nice seat. If you're up high over there, you
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: can see completely around the track, unobstructed view of the
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: entire track. That's what I liked. And now the only
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: part I don't like is that they can't get from
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: over there over to the clubhouse area. That would be
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: my biggest criticism of Churchill Downs. You're not freely allowed
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: to walk anywhere you want. You go to del Mar,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: you go to Gulf Stream, you go to Sanna A Nita,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: all these other places. Saratoga You're allowed to walk, even
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: on big race days, walk anywhere you want. Churchill Downs,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: you gotta have a passage. It's a little frustrated the yeah,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: and I don't like that strictness. Let people walk where
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: they want to. Now, I get it, you want a
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: couple of places where they can't walk, But I don't know.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: It just frustrates me a little bit, but I like it.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: So anyway, I think the big news from yesterday is
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: the whole Mitch Barnhart that has been not just the
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: biggest story in the state of Kentucky, not regionally, but
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: it's been a national story that's been on ESPN New
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: York Times has written a story of I mean everything,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: and they came out yesterday with their uh, you know,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Eli Cappolito to the president of the university with his
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: comments uh and Mitch Barnhart. I'm not gonna bore you
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: with what they said. I think we, as as far
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: as all of the fan base, can take a gigantic
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: sigh of relief that this didn't happen. It wasn't. I
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: I justin. I don't think it was mean spirited. I
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: just think it was a point where a few of
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: us knuckleheads, which still makes me laugh. I'd love to
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: get a T shirt made. I am a part of
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the knucklehead nation. That's what I'd like to see. Okay,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Charles Barkley would love it, you think, Oh, that's right,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: he does. My dad always said knucklehead. Charles Barkley loves
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: to say knucklehead. And he also loves to say, you
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: know why women don't wear watches. You know that joke,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: don't you, Because there's a clock on the stove. I mean,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: it's just it's a joke. It's just it's but even
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: my wife thinks that joke is funny. But I just
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I would like to have I'm a part of the
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: knucklehead Nation. I think that would be fun. But it's
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: just the fact that, if you ask me, I think
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Mitch Bartenhart is the one that made this worse. The
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: fact that you could not ask any questions about it,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: the fact that he was making all the comments, the
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: knucklehead comment, and I think he made it worse for himself.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: If he hadn't have said anything, or if he had
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: just simply said, here, let me explain what this job is.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Taken fifteen minutes to answer any question that anybody had,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: he would still have that position, and that money, all
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: those tickets benefits, and and but but the fact of
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: how he responded just made it a thousand times worse.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, really, at the end of the day, that's
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: all anybody wanted to know is what does this position entail?
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I think that's a logical question.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: The fact that it was they were being so secretive
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: about it and not giving you any information. I feel
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: like that's what made people uncomfortable and want to rise
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: up against this. I mean, the freaking governor came out
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: and said something for crying.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Out loud, but that was political.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean, still, he made the point that
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: it's a position that nobody knows anything about, and that's
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: that's why this was such a problem.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, with with Andy coming out with it, it
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: wasn't as sincere as I thought it and hoped that
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: it was. I mean, that came out and it was
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: all political. So I don't want to get back in
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: that because that's talking about politics. But I don't want
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: to get into it either. That was just me bringing
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: it up. I know, that's how bad it was the governors.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: I don't care what the reasoning for it or not was.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: I do, but the fact that he brought it up, yeah,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: and voiced the same opinion that a lot of people
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: have already voiced. But again he brought it up for
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: a completely increase Michael, Yeah, yeah, so that's but I
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: look at this and think, man, he could have gotten
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: away with it and he didn't. And the fact that
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: they took them money, they took the club, they took
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: the insurance and the ten tickets for life. Now he's
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: not getting any of that. He's getting zero of it now.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: It was brought up though that Eli Cappoluta was going
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: to raise the money personally for Mitch Barnhardt. I don't
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: know if a lot of people caught that or not.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: So they're still going to try and raise the money.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see if they raise the money
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: also for tickets and everything else in the clubhouse and
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. I listen. I hope not,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: because I don't think anybody deserves. People kind of brushed
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: over the whole ticket thing. I think they don't realize
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: how much ten tickets for life for football and basketball
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: are worth financially. That's a lot of money. It's not
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: the five million dollars that he was going to get,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: but it's still that's a lot of money for life.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: You look at that and you think of the life
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: expectancy between he and his wife. You're thinking twenty twenty five,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: maybe thirty years. Well, it's not like they're going to
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: be in the balcony either. You know they're going to
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: be forced exactly exactly. So how much do those cost?
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: You multiply by that ten times each year for both
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: that's a lot of money justin so I credit Brian
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Setzer and the guy that really brought it to Fruition,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: and hopefully they change it back to where the Board
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: of Trustees do have to approve. It can't be just
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: the president of the university. Now, what do you think
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: happens to Eli Appaluto? That's what I want to talk
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: about next. So let's go ahead and take our first break.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Five O two three eight four fourteen fifty five O
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: two four one four fourteen fifty or you can tweet
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: me at just the Cat Radio. We'll get to your
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: text as soon as we get back as well. And Uh,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: looks like somebody got a contract just down the street
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: from us. It's uh, why did that take so long
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: for U of L? So we'll talk about that too.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: And uh, and who is the likely candidate of the
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: University of Kentucky for the athletic directorship? We'll talk about
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: that too, because another brand new name has been introduced.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: So we got a lot to talk about today. Yes,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: you can join us. We'll see him in. This is
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Jessica's Nothing makes me happier than seeing you run out
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: of my studio and there's dead air. I mean, that
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: just makes me smile every time it happens, and it
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: seems like it's happening more and more. I even started
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: a freaking timer. It's Okay, I listen out of you
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: and I are here to have fun. Okay. If other
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: people want to join us, I'm happy that they're a
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: part of it. But it doesn't bother me that kind
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: of stuff happens.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, if we're here to have fun, then I
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: need to avoid the running because running's not fun and
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: can just.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Walk back over there. It does not bother me that.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: You know, the technical issue we had a couple of
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: weeks ago that I'm not there. There is not anything
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: you are going to do on this show that's going
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: to make me angry. There just isn't.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: I understand that. But dead air makes me angry. Okay, well,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: because that's because that's my job to avoid I know.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: But even if it is only a few seconds, that's
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: still my job.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: It's okay, it doesn't. Are we on YouTube today? By
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: the way? Okay if you want to go, uh search
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: it YouTube Big X Sports Radio Louisville. Uh, you can
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: see us on the radio, so I mean on the
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: on the YouTuber. Uh. Yeah. I just hope one day
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: I can call them up to come here and film
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: for us as well. So maybe they can film for
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: us at Churchill Downs. Who do you call it YouTube
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: to do that kind of stuff. I don't know, but
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: that okay, good, I'm just a joke. Think Netflix will
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: be there. I missed that. What was that two years
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: ago that they did? I believe it was. I'm almost
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: positive it was two years ago and they didn't do
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: another season of it. I thought it was a fantastic show.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: I thought that's something that they should do every year.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: I did too.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: So we're gonna have to keep our eyes out if
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: you see anything. I don't think so Netflix cameras around.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: I want to get on I want to get on Netflix.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: My car was on it. I want to get on it.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Really Okay, Well, if you hang out with me a
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: little bit this week, you'll get on a lot of
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: cameras because I'll be with my friends that don't so
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: happy because that I'm telling you, it's the feel good story.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: The Derby Mike Smith, I talked to him this morning,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: the famous jockey. He's gonna try and come on with us.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: I'm going to try and get Mark Glatt. But we'll
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: see if he does, and you'll see what. Kay. I
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: want your opinion on his personality. I love Mark Glatt,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: but he doesn't have a personality for radio. Okay, he's
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: the complete opposite of me. Yeah, I'm a nut job.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: He's sensible. He just doesn't have much to say. Yeah, well,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: what do you do when you're trying to have a
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: conversation with somebody and they don't want to talk you
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: just what do you do? You just stop talking?
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: I mean you just keep hoping and praying that something
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: you ask them is gonna lead to a good long
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: It's kind of like interviewing a high school kid, right
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: if you if they had some great accomplishment in sports
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: and you you're like, all right, let's get them on,
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: and then they just give you yes sir, No, sir.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: It's like, but buddy, you gotta give me a little
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: bit more than that. Okay, he's got to keep pressing. Yeah,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: And I think you're right. But sometimes they they might
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: press back and say no, I'm not gonna give you anything.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: You know, you get that personally. One person texted in, hey,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Rock put up a mustache on Michael and put him
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: in a Bob and Tom's shirt. No oh, there's no
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: picture there. Yeah, thank goodness, sang it. Yeah, thank you.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: I was hoping to see that. Let's see John here Hey, Michael,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: I think you are all cool dude all the way around,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: no matter what people say about you. Hey, I hope
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: they find a good GM and athletic director for our cats.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Should the university replace that Elek Capoluto as well. Hey Michael,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: have a great weekend my friend and you as well, Justin.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: But please be nicer to Michael. That's no fun job.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Oh I listen, I'm right there with you, Justin. I
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: don't want you to be nicer. You know, my last producer,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: I had lunch with him a little earlier this week.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: I told you I was going to do that. I
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: didn't tell the listeners, but he just knock, knock knock.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, he just cut me the entire lunch, and
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: I just laughed. When you do the same thing to me,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: I just laugh. I enjoy it. I think it's enduring
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: when people joke with me and make fun of me.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: I think for the most part, they do it because
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: they like me. Now, when it's mean spirited, I don't
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: care for that. But you know, I think y'all just
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: do it because you want to laugh at my expense,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: for sure, especially when you little yeah like Bob Kaoe.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: I do not look like that guy whoever he is,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: all right, Eli Cappoluto, I think that's a great question.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: I think all that has gone through, all that has
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: transpired with the university and Mitch Barnhardt, I really believe
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: that Eli Cappoluto should be the next to step down.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: I think that if he's not going to be forced
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: to just say, hey, thank you very much, I'm retiring,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: I think that the Board of trustees should really strongly
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: look that if he doesn't, then we need to maybe
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: take this in our own hands. Isn't he like eighty
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: he's up there in eight Yeah. I don't think he's eighty,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: but I think he's pretty close. So you think that's
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: pretty harsh for me to say that because it's been
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: really bad publicity that the university has gotten this week.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I mean I agree, And honestly, if you
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: think about all the things that Mitch Barnhardt's had to
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: endure with scandals and all that, and Eli Appoluto the
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: whole time has been the guy above him that has
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: just kind of let it all slide by. Yeah, I mean,
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: I do think there should be grounds for releasing him
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think they'll fire him. But I think
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: they should just say, hey, listen, yeah, I mean, he
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: gave him nice way to tell him it's time. Your
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: time is over. Because here's the other problem. Give him
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: a chance to step down exactly. You give him that
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: opportunity to do it on his own, but you give
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: him a timeline. I say, you know what, it's time
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: to move on because here's the other issue. I really
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: don't want Eli kappolloot to pick the next athletic director,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: don't you think. I think the next president coming in here,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: which should be pretty soon, and I think that was
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: the plan the entire time, that Mitch would bow out
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: this year and then maybe Eli Cappollouto would would bow
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: out six months to a year down the road. I
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: think it needs to happen sooner than later now. But
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: the next president should be picking the athletic director. It
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: should not be Apple Eli Cappoluto. He should not be
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: picking that person. I agree. Okay, good John here again, Yep,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: you're right, Michael. He brought it up up not for
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: the right reasons. If that would have been a buddy
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: of Andy Bisheer or someone that seen things the way
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: he did, then he would have not said a thing.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: His generosity of the supposedly doing the right thing is
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: camouflaged by his own personal agenda and thoughts. Andy, I
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: couldn't agree more with you right there that that that's
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: that's what kind of put a damper with Andy Bashier
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: getting involved in this, because once he mentioned the dean
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: of the law school, you knew what was happening. And
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: this was really pointed towards the crafts and the gentleman
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: that has been selected for the dean. Because yes, if
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: this was on the same side of Andy's party, nothing
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: ever would have been said. And that's where I just
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: the insincerities there, and I didn't like it. One person
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: said the old paddock was too small and dangerous. Not
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: to mention hot. I remember standing behind Ferdinand as Charlie
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: tightened the girth on him got the money nineteen six
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: eighty six. Wow, that's forty eight handily right there. That's
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: pretty cool. One of these days, I'd like to meet
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: a lot of probably all of ours, Oh.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: You and I and I met up with forty eight
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: handily one, Oh you did, And I told him that
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: you and him could just talk for hours and hours
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: and hours.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: I believe that stuff. Yeah. See, I love history like that.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: He is.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: He is probably I've met a lot of passionate horse
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: bracing people in my life. Yes, he might be at
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: the very top of it, really.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean his name on the text lines forty
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: and handily for crying out loud.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, that's the way it is with me and
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Oscar Combs. When Oscar calls me, I bet I get
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: five words in and I'll be on the phone with
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: him for half an hour to forty five minutes. And
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: he's just going after history, history, history, history. It's a
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: history lesson, and I love every second of it. One
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: person said it's similar to to today's crosstalk Scoots wanted
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: to talk, You yelled at him. Yeah, he was knocking
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: me down. I mean, come on, man, Zach texted out.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: He said, just because you're a nut doesn't necessarily mean
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: you mean for radio, but it certainly helps.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Just because you're a nut doesn't necessarily mean you're mean
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: for radio, but it's certainly he'll I'll get it.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's your being in it. It is being nutty
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: makes you better a radio, is what he's saying. I
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: guess I don't know, just because you're nut doesn't necessarily
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: mean your mean for radio, but it certainly helps beat
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Englis get it together. I think he's saying, just just
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean that.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: You're mean that Floyd Central Education is it really Okay? Well,
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: that says a lot right there. So, by the way,
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: speaking of Floyd Central, I saw a video this weekend
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: or the earlier this week from Floyd Central High School
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: in Kentucky. Have you ever seen their baseball field?
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, with the rocks in the back.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: That is one of the coolest things I've ever seen
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: in my entire life.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: I've only seen pictures of it, and I've always wanted
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: to go see it. There live so cool. Yeah, I
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: want to play on that field. So yeah, there's a
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: guy on TikTok that breaks into uh or sneaks into
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: baseball stadiums m and tries dat to homer and tries
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: to hit home. Right, that's the video I saw them.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Okay he went there, he goes, Yeah, I'm doing a
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: little bit something that I don't normally do. But this
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: is one of the coolest places ever been and it
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: was Floyd Central. It's like, that's pretty I think there's
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: one if somebody one of our Eastern Kentucky listeners could
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: help me out here. I think there's one in Eastern
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Kentucky very similar to Floyd Central, where it has that
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: backdrop of a large cliff and it's absolutely amazing. I
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: need to we need to be invited by the head
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: coach at Florid Floyd Central to come over there maybe
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: do a radio show. No, i'd go, which I would do?
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Do you know the Floyd Central baseball coach? No? Yeah,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: If anybody knows the Floyd Central baseball coach, get a
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: hold of him telling Michael Bennett would like to do
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: a radio show over there at his baseball field. I
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: think that would be a lot of fun.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: I know Henry Clay's freshman coach listens to the show
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: from time to time.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Does it really Henry Clay? And Lexington the baseball coach does?
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: What's his name? Tim? Tim does? How do you know?
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: I don't have Twitter, so I can't go look it up. Well,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: how do you know that he does? Because he's we've
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: messaged back fourth, have you really? Yeah? Okay, I talked
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: to a lot of our listeners Michael, Oh, okay, and
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: then you know that's nice to you. This is the
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: very reason why one of these days we've got to
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: figure a spot to do a live remote, because I
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: think we'd have a lot of people show up, and
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: I would like to and I mean this sincerely, I
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: would like to meet a lot of them. Now, granted,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of them that don't live here locally.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: They live all over the state in some other places.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Like the guy in Greece, he didn't live here. I mean,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: that'd be a tough trip for him to come here.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: And I'd even want to make that true well, because
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: he'd want to meet Michael Bennett and Justin Pley. That's
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: why it's not as cool as grease. Well that that
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: part is true. But but except when the bombings are
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: happening over there, that's not a really cool place. Yeah
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's pretty in an explosive area, but yeah,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: it's something deals with bombing. Remember he said he was
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: getting some bombs there from really Oh yeah, I don't
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: remember that. Yeah from Iran. Oh yeah, that was crazy
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: talk right there. But all right, now let's talk about
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: ad because that has not been mentioned a bit at all,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: and I think a lot of it purely was because
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: of the damper with Mitch Barnhart, and maybe nobody was interested.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: But there has been another name. You know, everybody's been
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: talking about Dwayne Peevie. I think Dwayne Now he's turned
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: it down because he's signed an extension with DePaul. A
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: lot of people been talking about Mark Hill, who's the
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: number two guy under Mitch Barnhart. And then another name
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: just came up. His name is Jeremiah Dickey and he's
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: the athletic director at Boise State. So he's got the
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: blue field out there. Of course. Originally from El Paso, Texas,
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: he started his career out at UTEP and as a
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: marketing promotions guide two thousand and three, went there to
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Akron for something very similar, and then from there he
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: went to Houston and then from there he went to
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: Boise State and he's been there since twenty twenty one,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: and this past year he was the National Athletic Director
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: of the Year for twenty twenty five. Does he sound
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: like a good candidate for UK? I mean, I know
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: that's not much information for you, but coming from a
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: school like Boise State, does that seem like he has
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: the experience to come to UK and run a program
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: like that?
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: Now, I don't see why not. Like, obviously I have
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: not been following this guy. I don't know what he's
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: done throughout his career, but you said something at the
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: end there that makes me think, well, yeah, bring him
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: on in Athletic Director of the Year. Seriously, Okay, like
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: that's enough for me, really, Okay, that is okay? Yeah,
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: because i'm because that means he did some really really
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: great things.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Yes, I'd like to know what the qualifications of being
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: becoming the athletic Director of the year would quit too,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but I think that's pretty cool. At
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Boise State. When you think of Boise State, what's the
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: first thing you think of blue Field? See, that's exactly
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: what I think of. So they've had some reasonably good success.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Now he was an athletic director, first time it's ever
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: happened at Boise State, where he fired the head football
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: coach in the middle of the season, hired another one,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: and they got to the playoffs. That's pretty amazing. Yes,
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: I didn't even realize that. That's pretty amazing right there,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: and pretty ballsy right there, if you ask me. I
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: mean that that takes a lot of guts right there
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: to do something like that turn around and they do that. Well,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: so I am the same way. I mean, you know
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: the April Fools joke that UK pulled and said we're
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: gonna put a blue field down at Commonwealth Stateium experienced
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Boise State. Oh yeah, Boise State came back, you should
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: have conferred with us before, you know, you didn't get
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: any approval from doing the blue field. Then the UK said,
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: well it is bluegrass like Boise he's the only school
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: that can have blue I would love it if they
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: did it one year. I know it'd be expensive, but
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: that would be pretty cool to just do it one year. Yeah,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: I'd like it. Yeah. I mean, we've copied Tennessee with
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: the checkerboard. What would be wrong with copying boys checker board? No? Please, no, no.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: I know there's there's one group of people on a
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: different show that have really made fun of the checkerboard stuff,
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: and may and maybe with the departure of Mitch Barnhardt,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: we'll get away from the checkerboard stuff. I never really
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: opposed it. I mean I kind of like it. I
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: kind of liked it just because it was, uh, you know,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: a celebration to the famous horse secretariat. People forget that
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: it wasn't for Tennessee.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but when you think of checkerboard, I don't think
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: of horse racing. I think of auto racing. Well see,
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: that's very true.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Well see I think of Tennessee because it was on
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: the football stuff. And then you know that Tennessee is
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: famous for the checkerboard down there and Knoxville. That's what
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: I always thought of. But anyway, all right, we got
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: to take a break. Fablo two three four fourteen fifty.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: You want to text in Fablo two four one four
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: fourteen fifty. Uh, I just said it backwards. Call in
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: three four fourteen fifty. Text in four one four fourteen fifty.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: I don't give me a mean look. I was just
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: trying to make it correct. Okay, far from a mean look, much,
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: I know, I know. But or you can watch us
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: on YouTube right there at Big Exports Radio, Louis stay

• 38:38
  Speaker 1: Oh they real? Oh geez, thanks a lot, YouTube, So
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: I have to like it's more like metube? Is that?
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: If that's the case, so I have to wait until
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: you start talking to even unmute the YouTube.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Oh really? Okay?
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: So yeah a lot of times listeners aren't even hearing
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: the intros and oh they're not. That stinks, it does, okay.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: I like me then the way you So that's when
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: when I'm gone, yeah, and that in the studio, I
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: don't hear it, and it drives me nuts. Here I
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: am bobbing my head back and forth, and probably somebody's
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: boy think you guys got tourets or he's got Parkinson's.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know which is worse. We're both. I could
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: have it. One person said he was kidding around it's
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: what friends do, and I was kidding right back with him.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: I was just joking back with you. You knew that.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, so I don't take offense enough. Yeah,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: I would agree with that. Your brother said, Minty A
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: and T talk to text. Just because you're a nut
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily mean you mint for your mint for radio,
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: but it certainly helps. Yea now makes Yeah, thank you, Zach,
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Forty A Handle said, there's a national
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: sports talk show host who holds meet and greets around
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: the country for his militia. You could do something like
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: that locally with your listeners. Yeah, I and you know
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: where we would do it exactly. We should do that
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: on Fridays. Everybody's in a great mood, come down to holesopple,
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: and let's just have some beer. Bear on, Michael, No,
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: we're not going that far. Now wait wait, wait, wait,
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: come on. Now, you know what, first ten people that
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: show up, I'll give him a free beer. Eh. How
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: do you like that? Including that? Tim? Absolutely not. But yeah,
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: sure i'd buy you a beer. Are you kidding me?
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: Of course I'd buy you beer. But that would be fun.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: I think that's a great idea. All right, let's talk
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: about this for a little bit because I think it's important.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: They're saying that the NCAA is really going ahead with
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: this whole five year eligibility rule, which which potentially can
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: start as soon as next month. So do you like
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: this because there's a lot of people that are really
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: criticizing it and here's the issue passing this five year
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: event LGB rule, are you going to grandfather in the
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: last play last year's players, Because here's the here's the problem.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: If you don't, then you're gonna have all kinds of
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: lawsuits and uh and doing it right after the portal closes.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: That would be a bad look. I mean, it's just
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: some of the most short sighted things that the NCA
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: continues to do. I don't I don't understand why. I
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: really don't. And the other person that really doesn't like
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: it that's came out immediately spoke against this, Rick Patino.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: He said it would be pure chaos. Most teams have
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: used up absent of their NIL. Don't get me wrong.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: I'd love to have my seniors back, but our NIL
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: is just about finished. And I think that's a great
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: criticism right there. I mean, I'm almost done spending my
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: money and you're telling me I could have kept some
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: of my seniors from life last year. That would have
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: been nice to know a few weeks back. Right That's
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: why the lawsuits could be a huge issue.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: Here's the deal. It doesn't matter where the lawsuits are
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: coming from. They're going to come from somewhere, whether it's
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: from somebody who got screwed out of a fifth year
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: or whether they passed this role. You're gonna have guys
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: that won a sixth year that are gonna sue them
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: for a sixth Like the NCAAA is always gonna be,
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: always gonna be in court because they just they never
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: win those cases. So people know that they can kind
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: of bully the NCAA and get whatever they want out
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: of them. There's gonna be lawsuits along the way no
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: matter what you do.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because you know, I guarantee you Pavia Diego would
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: have been back at Vanderbilt. You talk about a lawsuit
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: there because he wanted to say he was trying to
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: get the courts to agree that he could say another
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: year because he's gonna make more money staying at Vanderbilt.
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: As opposed to going undrafted.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. Yeah, nobody picked him up last night,
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: I SA yeah, no, Yeah. What were your thoughts of
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: the NFL draft last night? On B It was awesome.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: I don't think I would have enjoyed it nearly as
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: much if it wasn't in Pittsburgh. But being in a
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: place where I've spent a good chunk of time, I
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: just thought that was so cool.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. Did you think the coverage of he
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: and his family was nice? Touch? It was? Yeah, yeah,
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: And I know you're partial on this and I get it,
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: but me being completely impartial, it was fun to watch.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: How about the crowd? So they had his fam his
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: close family and friends inside, yes, and then they panned
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: to the outside of his house. There were so many
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: people there.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: I'd like to know what Florida, Florida State, and Miami
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: think of all this. The universities because they didn't try
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: to get him to come to their school.
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: Let the kid get out of the state and go
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: to cal and then to Indiana.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: That's crazy place, India, exactly Indiana. Of who would have
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: thunk me, that's just crazy. Right there in your backyard
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: is a great player this That's kind of like I
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: go back to Randall Cobb and Phil Fullmer, the former
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: coach at Tennessee. Let Randall Cobb go to Kentucky. If
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: I was a Tennessee fan, I would have lost it.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: Just like with Mendoza. It's like, what were you thinking
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: by not recruiting this young man to come here? We
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: could have been the national champ.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: Imagine if Miami had him instead of Carson.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: It would have been a completely different game. I'm just
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: gonna tell you right now, it would have been a
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: completely different game, no doubt. I think you would have
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: dominated that game. No offense to your Indiana Hoosiers. But
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: yeah no, no offense to your Indiana Hoosiers. Now you
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: said my Indiana would have dominated that game? Oh I did, Yeah,
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, if you just switched quarterbacks, yeah, it goes
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: completely different directions.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: My buddy here said, calling someone a douce and changing
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: your tone of voice when doing so, and then saying
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: you're done talking, isn't kidding around. Woll You're the one
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: that called yourself that first. That's true. Yeah, so I
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: didn't start it started. It has a scene I've always followed.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: I just followed. I get what you're saying. But he
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: and I are kidding. Okay, So I consider Justin a
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: really good friend.
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: Even though you didn't remember my name the first time
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: we met.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: That's cool. I don't remember meeting you. You're right, I
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: don't sue me. I am so sorry. Okai, well played,
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: my friend. Yeah, you know, it's funny. There's a lot
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: of people I don't remember meeting I just don't like
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: I I met somebody today that didn't and it wasn't
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: for the first time. I remembered meeting them, but they
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: didn't remember meeting me. And it's okay. They meet so
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: many people that they're bound to forget, So forgive me
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: for not remembering you. I am so sorry. I know
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: your name now, It's fine. I'm not that memorable. Yeah, well,
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: there was a long time my last co host, producer,
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: I'd call him by the wrong name. Months went by
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: and I'd still call him the wrong name. How do
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: you like that? I don't think you'd like that one,
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: but I'd be fine with it. Would you really not
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: called it? It's been called a lot of things in
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: my life. Just yeah, okay, well I'm not gonna call
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: you a lot of things, but uh, all right. When
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: we come back, we got to hour two coming up.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: We got to talk about what's happening at u of L.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: They finally came to an agreement and got it done.
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: There.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: There's a little baseball news what is going on with
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: the Phillies And I loved this commercial. They are back
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: as far as I'm concerned. We're going to talk about
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: this network when we get back. I think, of course
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: there's some baseball news. So anyway, stay right there. What
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: house is for sale for way too much money? You'll
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: know that too. Stay right there. Our two of Just
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: the Cats coming right up. Welcome to Just the Cats
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: with Michael Bennette. Well, you know, doing this whole YouTube thing.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: If you want to go check it out, you can
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: look it up on YouTube at Big Exports Radio Louisville.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: Are people just listening? Are they really watching the video?
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: Probably a combination of both, you think so. So they
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: want to see what we look like, because that's I'm
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: always curious what radio personalities look like.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, I I kind of understand it because I
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: so back in the day, I used to be really
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: big into the Dan Patrick Show.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: I loved watching it, did you really? Because you got
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: to see their facial expressions. You got to see like
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: certain ways they act or mannerisms they had. I like
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: watching it, you do, okay, But I've also I'm also
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: partial of just listening on the radio as well. Yeah,
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: so I can do it either way. So I imagine
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: it's probably a nice.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because I mostly listen from my phone now, I
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: don't really turn on my radio as much as I
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: used to. And if I want to listen to a
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: radio show or a Big X you know, I'm putting
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: in Big X Sports Radio dot Com and listening that way,
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: cause it's to me, it's very simple to do. I
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: know a lot of people have trouble for some reason
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: listening to our show through the internet. I've never understood why.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: To me, it's very simple. But I know if you
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: need me to explain it to you, I'll be glad
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: to explain it to you. But how do you listen?
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: I just told you. I go, I get on my phone,
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: go to the internet. The Google button push that put
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: in Big X Sports Radio dot Com. So you go
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: to the Big X website. I do, gotcha opposed to?
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: And I go through the Jie app. I don't I
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: think that's troublesome. Why. I don't know. I think I
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: just need the easiest way to listen. It is. Well,
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: I think my way is easier, and that's the way
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: I do it, and that's why I'm going to continue.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: Just stubborn, Michael. You know, part of me probably is
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: stubborn because I do it a certain way, and I
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: do it that way like like, for instance, I eat
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: pretty much the same thing every day for breakfast. I
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: have the same routine every single day. Yeah I do.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: I get up. I get up usually around five point
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: forty five, get dressed, and then I go into the kitchen,
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: eat one of these power ball bars, and drink a
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: large glass of water, and I'm done. I do my
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: little more work, just make sure I'm prepared for today,
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: and then off I come. I leave. I leave every
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: day at the same time my house at US seven.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: I get here and boom, I'm ready. My routine is
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: pretty much the same every single day.
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: The only day that my routine is the same as Fridays.
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: And I was telling you this off air, but every Friday,
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: I've gotten into a habit where I'll stop at the
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: gas station prior to my show and I'll get a
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: donut and a pint of white milk. Yeah, that's my
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: treat on Fridays. But I always wait until your show's over.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: So why do you want to wait until my show's.
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: Overdeath that it's just principal. I've got to eat my
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: doughnut at ten o'clock. That's that's just what I do.
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: But that makes it really hard for me being in studio,
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: because then for three and a half hours, this donut
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: is just staring at me, and I'm staring at the
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: donut and knowing that I can't touch it until ten o'clock.
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: So Fridays have become honestly pretty difficult. That sounds like
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: torture to me. It is torture, okay, it's it's kind
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: of a way to torture myself. I'm not trying to
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: do that, but that's what it's become. See call texture.
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: I'm not the one being mean to Justin. Justin's being
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: mean to himself. You called yourself those names. I just
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: repeated him, and then you're being mean because you won't
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: feed yourself a donut. I am mean to myself redently.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: I well, I'm hard on myself. I will say I
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: fuss at myself all the time. It's funny.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: I'll be driving in the car my wife will say,
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: why are you shaking your head? I said, I'm fussing
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: at myself and I am. She's like, what are you
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: fussing about? It's like, I don't want to talk about it.
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: It's just between me and me. I do do that
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: a lot. I gotta stop that's not healthy. Jeff Brown
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: finalizes his contract with that eight year, sixty four million
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: dollar extension. What do you think about this contract? And
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: why did it take so long to finalize this? That
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know I would have imagined because it doesn't
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: seem like something that's wow, that's a great It seems
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: like a good contract. It does not really overwhelm me
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: with oh my gosh, Jeff Brom's got it going on.
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: I looked at this and thought, really, that's what took
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: so long.
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: That's the one thing I didn't really understand either. If
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: it had taken as long as it has to get
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: this deal together, I would have thought, I don't know,
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: maybe nine ten million a year. But you give him
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: sixty four for eight years to an alumni guy that's
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: had success other this dude had success at Purdue for
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: crying out loud.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but he hasn't had the success he had at Purdue?
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: Is that fair to say? And to me, it's an
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: easier conference the acc of the power for it is
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: the least power.
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: But has he but has he always gotten everything he
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: needs to succeed at Louis? I can't answer that question.
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: I think you can make the argument that maybe he
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: hasn't and maybe it does feel like it's trending in
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: that direction. I don't know if you saw the news
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: where they're re getting getting back with Papa John and
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: they're gonna repair that relate relationship for nil purposes. So
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: maybe that's something that pushes Louisville over the edge and
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: gets them at the top of echelon of the ACC
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: and potentially winning.
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on that? Because I thought that
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: was some other big news I wanted to talk about today.
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: So there was a letter that went out from the
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: University of Louisville yesterday stating that, oh, big news we have.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: It's like a divorce proceeding. Now they're they're reconciling. Okay,
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: the marriage is back on. We've been apart for three years.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: We realized how much we miss each other. Yes, and
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: find love anywhere. I didn't understand a big announcement about this.
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: I thought that was kind of weird that we're going
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: to announce that we're reconciling with a former booster.
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: Do we take ellen In off the stadium and throw
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: Papa John's back up.
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: But he's not a part of Papa John's anymore. He's not. No,
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: he was fired from Papa kind.
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: Of always part of Papa John's though. I mean that's
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: only that's Papa John.
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: For crime he is. He is not associated with the
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: corporation whatsoever. Because a whole racial thing that I listen,
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: I'm convinced he was set up. And I don't know
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: John Schnadder. I don't know him. If he if he
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: walked past me, I might recognize him. He would recognize him.
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: He would not know who I am.
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: He would recognize him because he'd be sweating and smell
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: like pizza.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: Is that what you think? Yeah? Okay, well good, that
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: might be appealing. Remember izza?
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: Didn't he eat thirty pizzas in like thirty days or
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: forty pizzas in forty days?
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: Are you serious? Didn't he? Wasn't that a thing anything
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: about that. Only thing I remember is that he went
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: back to find his childhood car and they found it,
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: and he paid a lot of money to the guy
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: that had his car. I think it was like a
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: transam or a firebird or something like that, And I thought,
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: that's pretty cool to go find. Wouldn't you like to
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: go try and find your very first car? I would
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: love nothing more I would I would love nothing. My
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: first car was freaking awesome. So was mine. I wish
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: I could find it. What was your first car? It
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: was a seventy nine in Paula. Oh my gosh, that
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: thing flew had bucket seats in the front on the back.
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: It was awesome. It got like twelve miles of the gallon,
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: so I don't miss that part. That was a baby
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: making machine, right there, good friend. Absolutely good for you.
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: So the girls just really flocked to you. I'm sure
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: we h there were some fun times had in that car. Okay,
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: that's all we need to say. But I thought that
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: was a cool event when they did that. I would
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: like to do the same thing. I doubt if I
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: ever will, But I mean, I know you never know
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: so that I don't know any other stints that they
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: did with him. But I just I looked at this
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: and like, why is this big news?
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: I you know, he's he's a he is a billionaire, right,
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: but he's not the only one in Louisville. I don't
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: know how many billionaires there are in Louisville or Kentucky.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: There's a few. But I just didn't understand. Is this
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: something Schnodter wanted to have announced or is this something
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: U of L wanted to announced?
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: Question is where's he getting all his money now? If
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: he's not no longer with Papa John's, where's where's that
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: money coming from?
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: Well, it's coming from all the money he saved and
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: from making it working for the pizza place, and now
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: he's just gonna give it all away. He probably has
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: enough to get away. He needs a text right off
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: every year. That's true. But uh, I just I looked
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: at that and I thought that's kind of a weird situation.
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: All right. The one thing I did like the past week,
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: you know, they they ESPN has really been promoting that
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: they were doing the NFL Draft. I loved the commercial
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: they did for the NFL Draft. You know, they had
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: all the people, a few of the personalities come into
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: this one boardroom and Roger Goodell comes in and acts
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: like he's making the first pick, and then Mike Greenberg
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: sits there at the table and boos him when he
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: walks in. I thought that was funny. And Roger Gill
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: because my first pick is ESPN.
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: I oh, okay, have you not seen that he has
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: to host Super Bowl?
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: Correct? Yeah? Correct, Yeah it was.
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: It was okay, really, I didn't it didn't do that
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: much for me.
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: I thought it was funny. It did a lot for
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: me because there are a lot of people out there, Yeah,
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: this is not funny. I thought it had mixed reviews.
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: But me personally, I thought ESPN is back, because you know,
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: you you remember those all those iconic ads that they
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: used to do, like Bono's. Oh that wasn't one of theirs.
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: I think though. The one funny one was the the
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: outdoors guy that was from Australia and and uh, the
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: the mascot from University Florida. The gator comes off the
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: elevator and that guy wrestles him to the ground. I
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: thought that was funny. I don't remember that guy's name,
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: do you. He passed away, unfortunately, but from a fish.
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: I think he got poisoned from a fish bite or
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: something like that. Yeah, was it? Wait you're talking? Uh,
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: oh my gosh, what is his name? Yes, crocodile hunters.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: Who I'm talking, sir Steve? He got killed from a stingray?
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: Was it a sting ray? Okay, that's a fish. Yeah,
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: So I thought that was a great one. I'm trying
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: to think of some of the other iconic commercials that
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: they did ESPN. Yes, I mean we could, we could
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: do the rest of the show. I thought, Eli Manning
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: or the Manning family getting a tour of ESPN and
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: Eli and Peyton in the background kicking each other one
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: giving me a wet willie.
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: My personal favorite ones probably the Albert Pooholtz one when
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: they're like He's a machine and he's like, I'm I'm
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: not a machine, I'm just Albert.
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: That was always a good one. Yeah. Yeah, They've had
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: some great ones over the years. Yeah, yeah, I enjoyed that.
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: So, by the way, speaking of the draft, so I
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: reached out to Nick Roush during that last break because
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: I was curious, is there anybody from this pass Kentucky
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: team that is potentially gonna get drafted? So he said,
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: watch out for Jalen Farmer, maybe tonight he will get
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: drafted in round two or three, and then Jagger Burton,
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: Kendrick Law and Seth McGowan.
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: Is that's right, Yes, this few of the linemen, they.
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: Will probably all get drafted tomorrow. And he said maybe
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: David Gusta and Josh Brawn will get drafted as well.
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: It's not like last year we had some really big
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: names being called in.
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: The first I didn't even like you and I were
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: talking about it during break and I couldn't even think
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: of anybody I could should remembered. At least Jagger Bagger
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: Burton for sure. Yeah, because you know, well SETH McGowan
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: was awesome. He should get Oh.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: Definitely, between the two of them, they'll definitely get drafted
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: next couple of days. I don't remember Jalen Farmer, I don't.
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: I don't even know who that is. But anyway, let's
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: talk a little bit about ukball and coach Craig Skinner.
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: They're gonna play u NC the University of North Carolina
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: next season as a part of the sec ACC Challenge.
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: A bad night to be a tar heel, really.
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: Because they're gonna win. You got that much confidence in
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: Kentucky Volleyball No. Two. Yeah, me too. So the game's
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: gonna be at Historic Memorial Coliseum, televised on one of
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: the ESPN networks, and they don't know which yet, but
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll we'll know that a few weeks before
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: they have the game. But September ninth is going to
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: be it. Uh, and I didn't realize this. It's been
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: a while since UK's played the Tar Heels in volleyball,
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: but UK holds a winning record against him eleven and five.
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: So that'll you know. They released the schedule for volleyball yesterday.
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: It is ap solutely brutal guarantee. Yeah, because you know
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: you got that game up at Wrigley Field, that they're
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: playing another brutal game. I think, to me, that's gonna
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: be one of the more iconic volleyball days in history
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: right there, playing at Wrigley Field. What happens if it rains?
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: Do they delay the game to another day? I think
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: you just kind of cross your fingers and hope it doesn't.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: How's the setup gonna be? I mean, are they gonna
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: have seats outside the stand so in the field, because
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: you know they've had concerts there. Tom Petty's played there.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: I think the Rolling Stones, Jimmy Buffett's played there at
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: Wrigley Field. I just think this is a great idea,
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: and I hope they make this an annual situation. Yeah,
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: and it's gonna be. I agree, it is to the
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: point I want to go to this game. I want
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: to travel to Chicago and see UK play volleyball in
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: Wrigley Field. You're on your own there. Chicago sucks. I
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: don't disagree with that. Chicago is not one of my
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: favorite cities, but I would go. I think Wrigley Field
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: is one of the more iconic baseball stadium for venues,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: no doubt. It's between that and fin Way Park. Why
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: don't you like Chicago? I mean, I've never been a
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: big city guy. Not necessarily. Chicago's just because it's a big.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's just too big. There's just way too many people,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: too much land mass. I'm just it's too big.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: See. I know it's a big city, but it doesn't
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: feel like that gigantic like you go to New York.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: That's a big city. You go to Los Angeles, that's
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: a big city. I don't feel like Chicago has that.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: I know it's a big city, but it doesn't have
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: that really big city feel where you're just like, oh
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: my gosh, you got to get out of here. Yeah.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: Now, I have other reasons why I don't care much
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: for Chicago, but I'll keep those to myself. Oh really, now,
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: I'm really cuteous. I'll tell you during the break. But
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: you mentioned confidence in UK volleyball. So I'm curious, is
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: that the program out of all the sports programs at
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: UK that you are the most confident in volleyball?
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: Man, that's a great question. Probably between that and women's basketball, Okay,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: I think and maybe Craig Skinner and the volleyball team
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: I have the most confidence. Yeah, probably, So we don't
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: have to mention rifle because we just know they're gonna
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: win well between rifle and stunt because you know, they're
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: always winning. Cheerleading are always winning something. But yeah, rifle
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: is by far. They win almost every year. I mean,
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: they just that's an iconic program when it comes to anybody, Rifle,
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: but yeah, I would probably say volleyball, Yeah, it's definitely.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: And then Kenny Brooks, what he's got going on. I
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: like what he's got going on. I'm excited about next season,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: the players he's keeping, the players he's bringing in. Yeah,
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: it is gonna be awesome. So we'll have to figure
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: time to have both of them on sometime in the
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: near future. Yeah, so I don't have to hear from
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: Craig Skinner. It's about Yeah, it's been a while, Michael,
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: About time you have me on, Michael, right, been Michael, you'll.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: You'll run across him in a restaurant in Florida at
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: some point.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: Wouln't that crazy? I mean, that was crazy that I
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: ran into him. I just I did not expect that.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: But uh, all right, uh you speaking of sticking to
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: a little bit of UK. UK baseball is playing this weekend.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: They're headed to South Carolina for a three game series.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: You talk about something, you know. You just asked me
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: a question. Who I have confidence in, Man, I I
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: will say baseball I've lost confidence in and I'm really
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: disappointed about that. So as far as him going down there,
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: I hope they win one game. I've lost a lot
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: of confidence in this team. Well, if you're disappointed about that.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: If you're able to win two, and I mentioned this
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: on my show, if you're able to win too, that
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: gets you back to five hundred and sec pla. Yeah,
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: all you gotta do is go five hundred in a
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: conference and you're firmly in the NCAA tournament and gotta
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: have a chance in the postseason.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: Well, they got Tennessee in Lexington the following weekend. I'm
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: just going by memory right now. They gotta go head
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: down to Gainesville to play Florida, and I think they
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: finish up at Arkansas. So yeah, it's gonna be tough.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: What were we gonna say? I said, not easy. No,
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: it's never easy. So somehow, some way, they've got to
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: at least win one game on the away ones, and
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: then you gotta win some of these at home. You can't.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: Just they haven't won a home series in the SEC,
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: I think at all this year. They've lost every series
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: I think so at home. Maybe they won one, but
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: I don't remember which one it was. It's just it's
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: not been a great season, which has just been an
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: absolute disappointment. All Right, we gotta take another break. You
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: want to call in five O two three four or

  Speaker 1: You know you always do a great job with music.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: I'll have to say, and I don't mean that. You
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: don't mean that. No, let me finish. I don't mean
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: it as you know, just all passing by. You do
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: a great job. You know, people say stuff they don't
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: really mean. Sincerely. I'm being a sincere But the last
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: two days you've played a lot of songs. I really like,
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: I've been killing it and I love Cage the Elephant.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: That's a great song right there. I've always wanted to
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: see them, you know what? What? What was it? A
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago there was a concert at you know,
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: the U of L's Football Stadium and they had Riley
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: somebody at Riley Green I've never heard of him and
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: Kings of Leon. Yeah, weird, weird, That's exactly what I thought,
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: because I'd love to see Kings of Leon but with
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: a country act. That guy as a country act. Yeah,
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: that's what I thought. Why the combination there? That was
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: a weird compo. That's well. I thought the same thing
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: because I.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: Had some buddies that were there. Oh really, and neither
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: of them really liked country music. Yes, and I'm like
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: what the HELLY like, why are you all even at
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: that show? And then I later learned the Kings of
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: Leon was also there, and I was like, okay, so
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: that's why they went.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So one of the Texters corrected me, UK is
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: playing Arkansas in Lexington, and they're right, and I apologize. So,
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: but UK has won baseball, has won one series. They
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: swept Alabama, remember they were Alabama was like, uh, it
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: was the very first season. Alabama was supposed to be
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: one of the best teams in the country and they
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: ended up being not great at all, and UK swept them,
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: and he thought, oh, this is gonna be a fun season.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: And then UK has and I confirmed it. UK has
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: proceeded to lose every single series since and that just
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: that just sucks. Let's go to the whiskey tis one five, two, four, one,
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: fourteen fifty. Soon as I say it, we get a
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: bunch of texts, and I really appreciate that everybody. Let
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: me get to make sure I got the right one.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: So all I need to do to get on the
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: backside is tell them I know battleship been it from
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: Battleship stables. No, don't do that. They will they'll look
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: at you and think you're nuts and probably get somebody
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: to escort you out of there to the middle hospital.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: So no, no, that will, that will not work. But
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: you know, here's what I've always thought of when I
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: when when one of my horses is racing, I've always
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: said that if I see a young person there with
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: his mom and dad, I'm going to grab that family
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: and have them walk back there with me, just to
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: because I think it's important to have people experience what
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: I experience, so that you have generations fall in love
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: with the sport even more. Yeah, I I you know,
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: I had a partner last year and thank goodness, you
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: know we're not partners anymore. He's like, no, we can't
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: do that. He's like, why not? I thought that was
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: the dumbest thing. I want to promote the sport of
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: horse racing, just like I've always thought. Now I have
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: not gone to UK, but I've always thought it would
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: be fun to say, you know what, if there's a
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: young person out there that wants to get into sports media,
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: I would like to take them to one or two
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: games with me. Yeah, like a job shadowing exactly, so
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: they can experience it. But I'm worried that UK is
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: going to say, Michael, we don't have time for that.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: That's what concerns me because I think UK would probably
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: say no, and I think that's ridiculous. How are we
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: going to grow our industry unless you kind of mentor
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: some people out there. So I'm gonna do that this year.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: When it comes to horse racing, I think I will
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: ask for football, ask and see, okay, uk, I would
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: like to bring one young person, probably more like a teenager,
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: that's getting ready to choose where they're going to go down.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: A young kid wouldn't have any idea if they want
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: to get in that or.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: Not exactly, So somebody in high school and say, okay,
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: whomever wants to do it, contact me and and and
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: I'll pick a person every single week. But I'm gonna
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: do it for horse racing. When I see a young
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: person out there at Churchill Downs with their mom or dad,
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, come on, guys, you're with me, you're
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: my guess for this race.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: It's a great idea. But here's the deal with horse
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: racing and the younger generation. What is there's always gonna
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: be kids that grew up like you, or grew up
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: like Nick Rousch, the guys that have been around horse
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: racing your entire life. Yes, that's just so there's I
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 2: feel like, yeah, you could increase the number of kids
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: that are being surrounded by horse racing to try to
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: build up that following. But yeah, I just I still
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: think there's gonna always be those kids that are that
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: are loving it and want to pursue this stuff, and.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: Well, you never know they're gonna change your mind. Like,
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: for instance, the Derby Museum always has a tour. They
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: have a special golf cart that they ride and you
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: know where they are. Well, they stopped last week while
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: I was you know, they had one of my horses
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: out and I said, kim here. They came over and
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: I let all of them pet the horse and ask
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: me any question. Asked the grooms in that any question
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: they want. Dale Romans came out, they got to meet
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: Dale Romans. I think it's cool to promote the sport
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: and I'm happy to do that. I don't know why
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: more people don't want to do that, but anyway, that's
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: I'm just a little different. By one Texas said, U
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: of L had to wait for Papa John's money to
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: pay brom good point. That's the case. You have a
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: really good point. I mean, what are the odds that
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: both of these things are announced on the same day.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: There is quite a coincidence. There isn't there. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: I'm not certain of that, and I do have a
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: little inside knowledge as far as that goes. I'm not
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: sure that it is a great point that most likely
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: is more of a coincidence than anything else. I think
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: it's more for another sport than it is that sport,
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: especially as much money as that sport. Listen, uh. I
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: read a text yesterday U of L is hosting a
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: five star seven foot center. It's like, holy cow, man,
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: Kelsey's got it going on. I misread it at first.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: I thought it said five foot center, five foot seven
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: center and it had a picture of bet Kelsey. I
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: thought it was a joke. I thought it was a
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: AI thing. And then I say, no, it's a five star.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: And then they had well you normally they put the
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: picture of the player, not the picture of the coat. Correct.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: I thought that was so I started dying laughing. And
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: then I'm like, oh, no, it doesn't say that. But anyway,
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: he is killing though for what it's worth, Yeah it is.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: Let's just see how he does when they actually have
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: it going. Just further proof that you can do whatever
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: you want if you have enough money. I think it's
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: bad look on U of L personally? Why why is
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: it a bad.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: Look because of all the things that he said or did?
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: Who I'm assuming he's talking about Papa John oh oh,
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: bringing John Schnader back. Yeah, well, I mean.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: I don't necessarily think it's a bad look because I listen,
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: I'm not a I don't know Schneider. As I mentioned before,
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know anything about him except for things I've heard,
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: which always can be wrong. I've always been into the
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: contention that he was set up. I have no facts
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: to base on, and I have no facts to base
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: what he said he really meant. But I just always thought, listen,
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: the bad look to me is when they brought Jerik
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: back and they named a street after him. I thought
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: that was the bad look. I mean, really, you fired
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: the athletic director, he leaves Louisville in shame, Rick Patino
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: leaves in shame, and you're now bringing him back. All
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: is forgiven. We want to name a street after you.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: I thought that was a bad look, much worse than
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: bringing Schnader back. One person texted basketball recruiting has been quiet,
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: no commits. I have a weird feeling something big is coming.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: Not sure why just a feeling. I hope you're right. Well,
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: I do too, and it's it's been a little eerie,
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: how quiet it's been. I thank goodness we're not reporting
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: that we schedule a zoom call. Okay, I'm glad about that.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: I'm done teasing that poor guy. So stop shaking your head.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: But I listen. I don't think that's JD. Shelburne texting
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: me that text right there. But I talked to JD
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: yesterday and he's like, Michael, he's coming, you trust me.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: Tyrone Stokes is coming to Kentucky. And of course I'm
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: just shaking my head. I really don't think he is.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: If you want me to be completely honest right now,
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: there is no and God's green Earth that Tyrone Stokes
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: is committing Kentucky. I hope I'm wrong, but I just
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: don't see it happening. I just don't know how you
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: can say it so confidently I can? Why? Why why
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: can't I say it confidently?
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: That's what I don't understand. How you're able to well,
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 2: I mean you obviously can. You just did okay, uh
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: uh what my texters back? All right, mister Wisconsin. Now
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 2: you don't agree with a friend who is backtracking and
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: being nice when they notice your you are offended by
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: agreeing that they are a douche.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: It is. It was awkward. I'm sorry. It wasn't meant
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: to be. Please take my apology. Okay, I didn't think

  Speaker 1: One person said, I saw the two Fish shows at
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: Wrigley in twenty sixteen on a on the field. Pretty sick.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: I think he means it was sick in a positive way. Yeah,

  Speaker 1: that's what the kids are saying. Yeah, oh oh, is
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: he a gen xer here?

  Speaker 2: We missed, We miss our gen x.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: You know I do too. I mean, I wish there
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: was a way we could have Matthew come back for
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: a little bit, just once a week or something. Surely
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: we could get him on for like, all right, just
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: a new job. Let's have you ask, okay, see if
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: he'll come on for five or ten minutes. Because I meant, listen,
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: you're talking to a guy right here that really misses Matthew.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: If you left the show justin i'd be devastated.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: Well, and I just I don't know, I feel so
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 2: much more hips since we started that segment.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: I loved it. I can use those phrases exactly. Public nephews,
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: Your nephew and nieces were going nuts over what you
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: were saying to them. I listen. Yeah, that's pretty sick. Fish.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: Is there a song by Fish that you like? I
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: don't know a single Fish song. I think there's one
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: country road or country something. There is a country city
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: or something like that that Fish things. That's fantastic. If
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: they're like Fish.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: There's not a whole lot of bands I know less
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: about than Fish.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: Really. Yeah, you know, they're kind of like the Almond Brothers.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: There are are. They're kind of a jam band. Okay,
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: because I'll never forget seeing the Almond Brothers. One time
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: I went to get to they started a song. I
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: went to concession, get something to eat, got a piece
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: of pizza in the drink, sat down, ate it, took
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: my went to the restroom, went back to my seat.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: They were still playing the same song. That's Fish. They
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: just play songs forever. Here's the best Almond brother Greg. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: without a doubt. Uh forty eight handlely said, Chicago is
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: my kind of town. Sinatra Yankee Stadium hosted some huge
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: championship fights back in the day when boxing was in
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: Uh it's heyday. Boxing's really gone as in it. Yeah,
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: it's no longer that big anymore.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, you you have big fights every now and then.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: You had that one with Mike Tyson and that white
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: dude Camp.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: But that wasn't really big. It was that was a
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: yoak of a fight. I agree Tyson Fury. If he
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: fights Anthony Joshua coming up, that'll be huge. But still,
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 2: let's both those guys are past their prime.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: I've been disappointing with boxing lately. Yeah, I and I
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: enjoy it. I mean, I know it's a brutal sport,
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: but I enjoy it. One person texted in Arkansas is
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: at home, thank you. I appreciate that correction. I refer
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: to you just a little bit ago. And then Kentucky
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: baseball has zero pitching. Seems like that's the that's the
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: reason they're losing out fourteen to Louisville. Yeah, who hasn't
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: been hitting the Paul Well, you don't know the midweek games.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: You don't necessarily pick pitch your aces, you say them
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: for the weekend, but uh, it's it's been even more so.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: It's been the relief pitchers that are just brutal. And
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: that's I think we talked about last couple of days
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: where uh, Nick mineone needs to really take a hard
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: look at the pitching coach at UK because something's amiss here,
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: Something is gonna ry. Pitching has been horrendous and if
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: K had better pay. It's not fielding well, although they
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: didn't look good against u of L. But the fourteen
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: walks in three innings, I mean, come on, man, that
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: should tell you something's up. So and something has been
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: really just uh. But when we come back, I want
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: to talk about the Phillies speaking of baseball. Uh, And
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: there is a house for sale, iconic house. We will
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: talk about that as soon as we get back. Man,
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: you won't believe how much they want for it too.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: Would you pay this kind of money for it? Stay
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: right there? One more second. This week of just the
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: Cats coming right up, you were playing Gary Clark Junior.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: Holy cow, I didn't even know you knew who Gary
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: Clark Junior was. I know who Gary Clark. Wow, I
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: am really impressed by this.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 2: I'm impressed that you knew it was him just based
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: off that opening roof.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: Because I know that I love Gary Clark Jr. That's
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: impressive right there. Okay, we didn't get to hear the
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: guy singing. I mean, that's what's so bad. And the
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: YouTubers are there, like Michael, we don't hear any music, man,
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: will you shut up? They got to hear a little
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: bit of Oh they did, Okay, all right, Well they
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: get to hear it as it's going. Now I'm bummed
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: we don't get to hear more of the song. You
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: can do it at the end of the show. Okay, Well,
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: but yeah, I want to hear Gary getting into it.
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, that is a guy that I would love
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: to see in concert without doubt. Now. I love it
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: when he brings that. This is one of those things
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: that seems like it's getting more and more popular. We've
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: talked about this before, where artists will bring up people
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: from the audi play like the Goo Goo Dolls did
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: at one time, and the guy kept asking, you really
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: can't play Foo Fighters have done it. Gary Clark has
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: done it, and I just think that's the There is
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: no way I could get up in front of a crowd,
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: play an instrument or sing in front of a bunch
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: of people. I would be so unbelievably nervous i'd screw up.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: There was a guy that did it famously with Sammy
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: Hagar and his band and the bass player Michael Anthony. Okay,
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: played for Van Halen. I know I'm weird. Sorry about that,
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: all right, I do want to talk about this. There
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: is a house for sale down in South Florida and
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: Key Biscayne, Florida, which is a very ritzy part of Miami, Florida. Okay, okay,
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: it is the original house used in Scarface. Oh tell
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: me you saw the movie Scarface with al Pacino. I
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: have not seen scar My Got Kid.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 2: I know the phrase say hello to my little Fay exactly.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: Many men have said that on their honeymoon nights. I
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: can't tell you how much, but I think that is
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: one of the funniest lines ever. Iconic lines. There are
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of lines from there from Scarface. You've got
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: to go watch that one day. Are you ready for
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: how much the house is selling for? Let me guess
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: I'm ready.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go twenty two million, five hundred thousand. Yeah,
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: you want to try one more time, sixty seven million.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: I'll give you one more chance. One hundred and two million,
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: two hundred and thirty seven million dollars for this house.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 2: Good God, that's exactly what I have money. Uh well,
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 2: there are a few people out there that have that money.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: But you gotta believe that when that person goes and
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 2: buys that house, uh, they are yeah, they're they're probably
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 2: paying cash for it.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: That's insane. Isn't that crazy? Two hundred and thirty seven
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: million dollars for the house that was used in Scarface?
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: I just there's all kinds of pictures if you go
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: to the New York Post dot com, they have all
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: kinds of pictures of it inside during the movie and
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: what it looks like today. I mean, it's gorgeous. It
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: is unbelievable looking. The other thing, that is not the
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: only reason it's famous either. This house was also owned
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: by a former president. President Richard Nixon used to own
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: this house, and so when he was in office, they
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: would that would be his southern White House, as they
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: would say, I mean they got a concreted pier.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, Like, isn't that crazy? Concreted piers. I see
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 2: that that's probably a million dollars alone, just the peer.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: They must host parties out there or something. Would you
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: ever like to buy a house that was in a movie?
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: Not necessary, but I would like to buy this house,
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: would you really? I mean, I wouldn't buy it for
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: the fact that it was in the movie. I'd buy
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: it for the fact that it's right there on the bay.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: You got that great dog. Look at the view of
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: Miami that you have in the bank ground. That's your
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: setting right there. It's awesome. I mean it, it's an
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: unbelievable house. But yeah, there's got to be just a few.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: I remember. I think within the last couple of months,
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: the former night show host Johnny Carson's house in Malibu, California,
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: has been for sale, and I think it was like
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: one hundred and something million, Not as much as this,
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: but his house right there overlooked the Pacific Ocean. Amazing.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: But yeah, that there are a few people out there
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: that can afford this. And you gotta believe they're not
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: going to a bank and borrowing money to buy this house,
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: are they?
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: I just I don't know that if I had I
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 2: could have three billion dollars in my bank account.
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: You wouldn't buy it.
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 2: And I don't know that I'm spending two hundred and
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 2: thirty seven million on it. I don't think I am either.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 2: If I had all that, I'm gonna build my own
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 2: house for twenty two million and save a bunch exactly.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know if I had all that money,
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: I would do that either. I'd probably I honestly, I
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: think I'd live in the same house I have right now.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: I'd probably buy a house on an island and that's
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: all I would do and save the rest for my family.
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: I just I don't need that kind of stuff.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: As a kid, I always want I want these cars.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: I want these cars. I love cars. I don't care
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: about them anymore. I just don't. No. Yeah, but let's
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: talk about the Philadelphia Phillies. People are going to say,
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: why are you talking about the Philadelphia Phillies. This is
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: kind of crazy. Did you see where their picture Taijon Walker? Well,
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: you know, he got a big contract three years ago
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: for seventy two million dollars. He's in the third season
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: of it, and the Phillies have released him and decided
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: we'll just pay you the other eighteen million we owe you.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: You're done. Hell yeah, in five games he had an
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: ERA of nine point one three. But he's still getting
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: his money. So he's still getting his money exactly. Not
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: just that, but they have another relief pitcher, Hayesu's Lozardo,
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: who just literally months ago, I think three or four
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: months ago, signed one hundred and thirty five million dollar extension.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: He's struggling. His ERA is six point nine to one. Man,
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: if I'm the owner of the Phillies, I'm looking at
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: my general manager, Dude, what are you doing.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 2: They're pitching has been Phillies in general have been really,
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: really bad, and they were the favorite going into the
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 2: year for that division. I mean, you have to wonder
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 2: what is Yeah, Kyle Schwarber's with the Phillies, Yeah, you
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 2: have to wonder. Does he regret not coming to Cincinnati,
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: But the way that the two seasons have played.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: Out so far has to Yeah, you couldn't convince me otherwise.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: But my goodness, they're eight and six seen so far
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: this year, and that's how bad they are. And then
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: you look at how much they spent on pitching, and
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: it just was a complete bust and I thought, man,
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: it must be nice to have that kind of money.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: I guess not worry about it, but they did. I
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: don't know if you saw this story or not, but
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: there's a lady up in Indiana. She was going to
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: get her license renewed. All this is an Anderson Indiana.
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: Is that outside of Indianapolis? I think that's way up north?
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: It is, okay. Well, she goes to renew her license,
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: only to find out that the software that they use
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: for you know, facial recognition, flagged her and said this
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: might be a fraud issue here. So a gentleman from
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: a fraud and security enforcement investigator take her to another
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: room and she has no idea what's going on, and
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 1: they started asking all kinds of questions about her identity,
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: where you're from, and all that, and she gives all
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: the correct information, only to find out that there is
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: another person in Indiana that is her doppelganger. I did
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: see this, And did you see the picture of the tournament.
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: They are not doppelgangers. They are twins. They're twins, yeah,
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: I mean they look exactly alike. And now this woman
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: is trying to find the other woman to see each
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 1: other and meet each other do you believe? So that
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: raised the question do you believe in doppelgangers? Oh? Yeah,
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: so you think there is somebody in this world that
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: looks exactly like you? Maybe not exactly but close enough,
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 1: pretty similar. Well, this is an uncanny resemblance. When I
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: saw this, Yeah, they are identical. They are definitely identical.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: And I thought that, and I'm like, wow, that's just
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: gonna be kind of eerie when you see something.
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 2: My question is if if this lady was flagged, that
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 2: obviously means the other one has done something wrong. So
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 2: why is she trying to seek her out? I don't
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 2: know that that's I.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: Don't know if she's done something wrong. She just has
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 1: a life too. They thought that she was trying to
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: come under another name, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. They thought
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: they were trying to come under or she was trying
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: to get a license under a completely different name when
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: she has a completely different identity gotch So it was
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: the facial recognition software that kind of flagged her and said,
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: oh we got a problem here. She's trying to come
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: up with a different account when we have her listed
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: as this other parton I'd be.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 2: So weird and annoying at the same time, like like
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 2: as if being at the BMV for long time isn't
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 2: already annoying as it is. Yeah, then you've got to
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 2: stay there and extra however long to just verify all
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 2: your info?
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: Is that the one thing you dread the most? To
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: go get your license renewed? I never, I don't ever
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: go in. How do you do? I always do it online?
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: Oh you do?
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 2: I haven't been to the BMV in years? Well, how
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 2: do you go pick up your license?
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: Then they just mail it? Oh? They I didn't realize
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: they mailed it to you. Okay, well I'm wrong about that. Good.
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 2: Actually, you know what, maybe not with license, I might
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 2: be thinking of like registration.
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 1: Well that's car registration. I think license you have to go. Yeah,
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: I think you're probably Have you gotten your new Uh
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 1: what's the new one? They call the new ID? Or
