created the strongest, most advanced Silverado ever. So thank you to Chevy Silverado, our wonderful sponsor, okay, let's go. It's part of my take presented by Barstool Sports. Welcome to part of my take presented by the strongest, most advanced Silverado ever, Chevy Silverado. Today is Friday, July 16th, and we officially have a series, boys. We officially have a series in NBA Finals, the Bucks have evened it up, oh boy, was that an awesome game.

I mean, he gave us maybe the best moment of any finals in the last, probably three or four years. That blog. Oh, I thought you were talking about Devin Booker's ninth foul. Well, it's Devin Booker's 10th foul. He just fouled again. Yeah. Have you heard that one yet?

Oh, Devin Booker had seven fouls. Can I just talk about the block quadruple double? Can I just say shout out to the Sun's fans who have I've seen them lurking around being like it's unfair that Yanis didn't go fully out of bounds for that one inbound at the end of the game. It's like Devin Booker had eight fouls. Yeah. Also, Devin Booker, you could make the argument that maybe you would have been better off

if they didn't make that basket right afterwards. Obviously, in the heat of the moment, you want Devin Booker on your team for the rest of the game. He was the only one who was doing it for the Suns. But yeah, that block, Yanis' block, Pantheon of blocks. I'd say it's top. Greatest finals block in history. I'd say it's the greatest turnaround.

No question. Yeah. Greatest Mike Breen witnessed finals block of all time. It also was maybe the highest block of all time in NBA finals history because of where it like took place. It took place so far above the rim that it was just insane. And I know that I think what I was thinking about it more because it's one of those plays that I woke up still thinking about it.

And the reason why I love it so much is when you get to a finals in a league, what you're hoping for as a fan is to see guys playing at their absolute apex and like best on best and best plays on best plays and Devin Booker even like having the presence of mind to throw that lob, which was a great lob and Deandre Aten who's been playing great and all playoffs and then Yanis coming over the top and blocking that ball. It was it was it was magnificent. I want to say it's magnificent. I think that between Aten and Yanis that might have been the most combined feet and height

of a block of all time. Yeah. And my my greater point is I know that there's parts of that game. That game was stupid and awesome at the same time because like, you know, Jay Crowder's flopping everywhere, PJ Tucker's flopping everywhere, Drew Holiday's missing every shot. I'm going to Chris Paul. I'm going to give my the stinker of the night award to Chris Paul. Well, Chris Paul, what did you make me watch award goes to Chris Paul?

It was so there was parts of the game that were just chaos and bad and whatever. But it was exciting. And then my point is when you get to these moments and you see the peak like level of athleticism and talent shine through in what Yanis did like there's there's I mean, I don't know anyone else who could make that play in that moment. And Yanis coming off of what he fucking broke his knee like three weeks ago. It was just awesome. Not even it was two.

It was like 14 days ago. His knee bent to the side. We all saw it happen. Like we didn't just make that up. His knee literally hyper extended. Everyone thought he had torn ACL torn PCL torn a or MCL and he's able to pivot off that foot, leap off that one foot. And then sky probably like 12 and a half feet into the air with a hand and time perfectly

on a guy that is awesome at dunking the ball, the guy that did the value. And I think I forget who I saw say it. Somebody said this online. Find me who tweeted this out, Jake. Someone said I've never seen a guy defend the alley and the OOP at the same time. Yeah. And that's literally what happened. Yes.

He was doing it all. And it was shout out ESPN for not showing a replay right away. That was very, very good presence of mind. They decided to instead show a replay of Chris Paul's 10th turnover of the night. That was, that was kind of the game. Like the Suns were sloppy with the ball and the Bucks weren't and the Bucks were awesome on offensive rebounds. Shout out Pat Connaughton because I know I give him shit and I do think that he's in

a spot that you would like for Pat Connaughton to not have to play that many minutes. But even like the minutes, like the fact that he's playing and he plays so goddamn hard and he's actually made some huge shots. There's been moments where you look at your like that doesn't fit right now, but he keeps on like trying his absolute hardest and he's making big plays and he's making big rebounds. And I think I might just become a Pat Connaughton guy and he with someone, there was a stat that he struck out James Winston and then also what was that all in the same year? I'm not sure.

When I was in high school, he was like similar age and he was on every magazine like he was like the greatest prospect in Massachusetts high school history. He was awesome. Baseball and basketball. Again, there are moments where you're like, uh-oh, Pat Connaughton like when he basically tried to pass the ball underneath the hoop with three guys on him. But he has been like integral to the Bucks' success in the last two games. You could definitely say that he is like the American version of Deli in this playoff series.

Sure. Like every word that you use to describe Deli. That is Connaughton. All roads lead back to Deli. Yes. All roads lead. But it's exactly true. Like if you look back.

He's getting bonked for Deli. Nothing wrong with being horny for a fellow Australian. Talk to me in my language. How is he like Deli? How he is like Deli. Give me an analogy where he's either Deli Greeny or Danny Woodhead. Well, he's got more offense in Deli because Deli had a couple of those games when he was helping LeBron out in the finals the year that they won and the year that he put the

clamps on Steph Curry when Kyrie Irving went out. You do have to have roleplayers play better at home and that's what's happening. And Chris Middleton, I mean, we should, I can't believe we've gotten this far and not talked about that. Like, I like that Chris Middleton now has everyone befuddled because we have this rule in media and how we digest all these games like, are you a superstar or not? 40 points, you should be a superstar. But he's not.

He's not. He's just a guy who's very good and then sometimes great. And I think that's a totally fine place to put him. So he was incredible. And we should talk about Chris Paolo. Chris Paolo, are we going to do the injured thing? I think that it's not necessarily an injury. I don't know what vertigo is.

Is that considered an injury or is that considered a disease or an ailment? Yeah. I think he has vertigo because he just, he looked dizzy when he was trying to dribble the ball. Like he didn't know where the ball was going to come up after he hit the ground after he dribbled it. I don't know. Like I feel like it would maybe something with his hand or maybe mental.

Yeah. It's weird. I feel very bad for a friend, Ryan Rocillo. That's a tough mountain to be on right now with Chris Paolo. You hope that, you hope that he's injured. Not that I hope that he's injured, but you hope that that's... It's not just who he is as a player. Yeah.

It's not like a mental thing that he just can't play basketball in the biggest moments. Yeah. The monster has got him. Actually, it looked like he, it honestly looked like he was dizzy out there. For Ryan's sake, you have to hope that, I mean, he's got to be injured because if he wasn't injured, you were really wrong about Chris Paolo being a good player. And that's your job, right? That's your job to watch the tape.

Yeah. He does watch the tape. Yeah. He has not been good. Juru Holiday has been great on defense. He can't hit a shot to save his life, but he's great on defense. So it's, Chris Paolo looks drunk, maybe injured, but you also have to give credit to Juru Holiday for playing great defense.

And the weirdest one was when Chris Paolo, he was deferring to campaign in like big moments. And the one guy you don't want to defer to is campaign because campaign will take that deferment and then just shoot every single shot. You just, you have to, you have to put a very short leash on campaign. I treated it last night, but there is something about campaign. And I actually think that you get value out of a guy who's, who's, I think he's starting, but coming off the bench or like playing those type of minutes who has the, I'm the best guy out here feeling because you, you want someone who will, even though he's not,

you want someone who will, you know, give you those minutes like, oh, he can maybe take over, get hot. But they're the best thing that happens in every game is when campaign is like, I got this and then he doesn't even come close to having it and gets like, but he got blocked by, I can't remember who blocked him. I think it might have been Pat Connaughton, but he basically dribbled directly into four people and was like, I got this and wasn't even close to hero ball. Yeah.

Yeah. I like campaign because he's not afraid, but you have to, if you're a coach, you have your job is to make campaign afraid occasionally. Yeah. Like put a healthy fear of the basket into him, be like, Hey, listen, if you got one on one, and there's absolutely nobody else who's open for a pass and there's five seconds left on the chocolate, you have the green light. Yeah.

That's the campaign green light. Anything above that. It's like, let's try to play some team basketball. Shout out to Buds, the man in black, looking like a legend on the sidelines, looking like Johnny Cash. I like, I think Buds is a guy that looks better when he's not wearing a suit. Just other coaches. It's like, be nice to see that guy wearing a tie occasionally, but he just, he lives

with that man in black. Look. Yeah. And he's, I likened him to like a frustrated, overworked restaurant manager because he has that face where he's like, oh, another fucking six top. Yeah. It's like 1030 and we close at 11. I could see that.

I could see that. I could also see like the head bartender at an upscale chain restaurant, you know, the guy that's back there, pouring the specialty cocktails and he'll get mad at you if you don't like the cocktail he serves. He's like, actually those are impeccable ingredients. Yes. So it was a, it was a great game. It was a stupid game.

It was a great game. What do you got, Jake? Yeah. I got a few things following up from earlier. Uh, first off, there was a guy named soapy who said defending the alley and the Upe. Yep. Uh, second off, Pat Conniton struck out James and dunked on Jabari Parker. There it is.

Oh, which both of those have an age. Great. In college though. Yeah. Yeah. In college though. Yeah. Striking out James.

Yeah. He can't see. Yeah. That was pre-lasic. He might have hit a home runoff, James. James was a pitcher, but I think he also hit. And then lastly, a vertigo is technically a sensation of whirling and loss. That's what he's got.

Got it. Chris Paul with a sensation. I hitchcocked. So I, if Chris Paul's hurt or has vertigo or is just mentally not able to step up to this moment, I think the sons are in big, big trouble because you had the Devin Booker is doing everything now and he's, I mean, he was, he was phenomenal. Like that, that third quarter was incredible. Yeah.

Obviously the foul trouble hurt him, but, and especially the eight fouls he had. But man, you need Chris Paul to do more than two points or whatever he scored. I think they'll okay. They'll be okay once they get it back to the valley because the fans down in Phoenix have not left the stadium. I think that's the same group of fans from the last game that they keep flashing to and showing, Hey, these guys are in the arena right now. They've been doing Bonnaroo for the last like four or five days.

They'll be ready to go. They, I mean, in this series, you definitely see each team is a completely different team at home. Yeah, absolutely. And there's been, I mean, the games besides game three and game one, like game two and four, I have been fairly close. I just don't, you need Chris Paul. Like that's not a hot take.

That's not a crazy thing to say. You need Chris Paul to be playing as best as possible. Does he have, does he have double COVID? He's got long, long, long effects of COVID. I'm sure there's someone who's throwing that out there. Yep. Dan Wilkins firing up that call right now. He's like, well, this is why we should have canceled the series as soon as he came down

with COVID. This is why we should cancel the balls. Yes. Um, anything else from the game? Again, it was, it was just cool to watch a game that was, it felt like the stakes were so monumental, fans rocking. It was just awesome. I loved, I loved every second of that game.

Let me see how many points did Chris Paul score? He scored. Oh, he ended up with 10 points. I think he had that. He did score a layup with like, with like three seconds left. That was just very much, Hey, this is a, this is good that I'm going to get this on the statue. You went coast to coast to beat the clock.

Yes. Yeah. I like it. One other note. I think it was a, it was a tie game at halftime. I hate that because they're doing the Taco Bell. When you come back, you win a free Doritos Locos taco, they'll bring the taco back. And if it's a tie game, then no team can come back and you lose the prospect of a free

taco at halftime. You lost a lot of viewers on that one. It should be whoever scores the first point and the other team is the comeback team in the second half. Yes. I like that too. It's not hard. Or just, how about this?

Just give everybody a taco Taco Bell. Yeah. Or just, yes, steal the ball and get a taco. It's a little bit easier than baseball. Like the steal a base, get a taco, but. Well, yeah. I mean, Chris Ball, you just have to stand around Chris Ball and you can get a steal at this point.

You've got five turnovers and five made field goals. That's not good. I mean, if Kava is smart, they'll be like, if Giannis gets a double, double, you get a free Euro. Yeah. That would be good too. I'd take that. Yeah.

I'm just excited. I don't know. This is, people are probably going to say it's lame, but I just love big moments and I love the fact that we have a Saturday night. Like whenever you get a series officially becoming a series and it's 2-2 and game five feels like all the stakes, it's a Saturday night, you can basically have it be the tent pole of your weekend. Like I can't wait for the Saturday night game five NBA five.

I mean, I don't know if anyone's going to call you a slam for being like that block was awesome. No, that block. Honestly, I know what you're getting at. Yeah. When you see a guy do something at the peak of his athletic performance in the biggest moment possible, it's life affirming. Yes.

That's why that's why I like watching sports is to see people do exactly that. Yes. That's why it's nice for making me feel like for a night, I have not wasted my life. It's the moments when everyone is playing at their absolute best and that wasn't the case for the whole teams. But when Devin Booker and Deandre Aitin are running a pick and roll and the alley you and Yannis is able to block it. I mean, it's just it's fucking best.

He explained what went through his mind and that's to me might even be crazier like listening him talk about all the things that he thought in that quarter of a second. He was like, well, I came off Aitin because I wanted to step into the lane and help. And then I could feel Aitin behind me cutting to the rim. No, he was like three feet away. He felt him with like a sixth sense. Yeah. Extrasensory perception felt Aitin going to the rim.

And then when the ball went in the air, he realized he couldn't get to Aitin fast enough. So he jumped towards the rim instead. All that went through his brain while taking a step off of his injured knee, leaping higher than any human on earth can get. And then having the presence of mind to like get to the ball and block the shot to me. That's that's more impressive than quantum physics and fingertips and fingertips with his fingertips. That to me is the peak of human performance.

I don't care about the theory of relativity. I don't care about astrophysics. I would I think if you took Yannis in a room for long enough, you could teach him all the stuff Neil deGrasse Tyson knows. You could not teach Neil deGrasse Tyson know how to swat a play in the fourth quarter of NBA finals. Yeah. I'm not.

And I also am just happy that when a when a shitty call happens, you hope it doesn't decide the game. So in a weird way, I was very happy that the Bucks won after the Devon Booker. Well, I don't know what Devon Booker was thinking. Like that was insane that he was thinking that. And that foul doesn't end up impacting the end of the game. So like that, whenever something like that happens at the highest stakes, you just hope that it doesn't change everything.

Devon Book was just trying to make a play there, big cat. That's what you say when you make the dumbest mistake of all time. I'm just out there trying to make a play. It was madness because it was Devon Booker. What are you doing? Devon Booker, what are you doing? Refs, what are you doing? Oh, Yannis just put back a layup where he was basically behind the backboard when he

when he released it. Yeah. What Yannis did here is like going out to get the worst meal ever, but having the best sauce that's on it. So we were served a shit sandwich and then the best queso ever came in and saved the day. And legacy, he he's racking up the legacy quarters and games. I mean, yeah, well, you might actually by the end of this, if the if the Bucks end up

winning this, Chris Middleton might be the best player in the NBA, just purely on how many legacy games does he have? I think he's had a couple of legacy halves and quarters and court will definitely courts because you have to have two of those to make a legacy half. I would like to see him put together a legacy series. Yeah. I mean, last night was a legacy game. So he yeah, I don't think no, I don't think you can have a legacy game if your legacy game

is overshadowed by a legacy play. No, but Chris Middleton was the reason why they won that game. Yeah. But that legacy block, he was he was so incredible. I think that you have to have a legacy game. You have to have the biggest highlight from that game. I don't know. I was winning the series.

I think the Bucks. I do. Me too. I think I just and it's based solely on the fact that I don't I do. We always mock the whenever Steph Curry has a bad game and we're like, well, he must be injured his ankle. We mock that storyline that always pops up. I do actually think Chris Paul has some type of injury because there is no explanation

for how he's playing. And if he has that type of injury, the sons are kind of fucked. Yeah. I mean, they are. They're like, you need you need hot take. You need your your your second best player to be the second best player if you're going to win the title. Either that or you need campaign to have a double double.

You need Jay Crowder to shoot like 70 percent campaign to do that. Don't pay. I'm not. I'm you need eight and to have 30. Yeah. I'm just trying to find enough points out here in the box score to make it work. It's possible, but it's not likely. So like Chris Paul, I think he'll be OK at home.

Just get him back in the sweat lodge. He'll be good. Give me some of that good peyote that they got in the desert. Yeah. All right. Let's get to we got some other things we got to talk about before we do that. Light Boxer. Light Boxer is a new at home boxing fitness experience.

I forgot how fucking early this shit goes on. I woke up at seven o'clock this morning and Brooks was like whole 14. It's absurd. Bryson DeChambeau though, oh boy, he did it again. So he's having trouble with his driver. And afterwards he said they were asking him about like can he contend in this tournament and this is his quote. He said, if I can hit it down the middle of the fairway, that's great.

But with the driver right now, the driver sucks. That's not a good face for me and we're still trying to figure out how to make it good on the mishits. I'm living on the razor's edge like I've told people for a long time. Guess what? Didn't go over so hot with the Cobra guys who are basically working night and day to get the perfect club head for Bryson DeChambeau who might not be the easiest to work with. So this is coming from the guy who actually cattyed for him last two weeks ago when Bryson's

catty quit. Oh, I forgot that his catty quit. His catty quit. His catty quit. So the guy who's meant, who works for Cobra, cattyed for him in Detroit and he said, it's like an eight year old that gets mad at you. They might fly off the handle and say, I hate you, but then you go, whoa, no, you don't. We know as adults that they really don't mean that and I know that if I got him cornered

right now and said, what the hell did you say that for? He would say that he was mad. He didn't really mean to say that harshly. He knows how much everyone bends over backwards for him, but it's still not cool. He also said he has never really been happy ever ever like it's very rare when he's happy. Now he's in a place where he's swinging a five degree driver with 200 miles per hour of ball speed. Everyone's looking for a magic bullet.

Well, the magic bullet becomes harder and harder to find the faster you swing and the lower that your golf gets. He also said everyone's bending over backwards for multiple multiple guys in R&D. Basically Bryson DeChambeau has has a server room at Cobra drivers of guys that are just like manning a wind tunnel for drivers that are specifically made for Bryson DeChambeau and because he is inventing a new type of driver, they haven't perfected it yet. Well in that and on top of that, I was reading more about it and they basically said they order.

They're basically creating like 10 driver heads at a time. They order it. It's ready to go then immediately right after that they do another 10 and because he swings so fast, there are a handful of people in the world who swing as fast as Bryson and so they don't have the data to back it up like they're basically all their data testing like like a driver that you would buy at a golf shop has been data tested millions of time Bryson's driver has really only been data tested by himself. So I really think you just got to fucking chill out Bryson maybe swing a little bit

slower. Yeah or maybe they build like one of those Boston Dynamic robots that's capable of swinging as fast as he is and then give it steroids and turn into a real piece of shit and then you have that robot be your full time Bryson and just put them in a wind tunnel swinging thousands of times a day get all the data that you need and then maybe Bryson will be happy. Probably not but he'll be less mad at you if you really bend over backwards for him that far.

So basically what Bryson is complaining about is that his mishits suck. Well welcome to golf Bryson. That's all of us. Yeah it's uh listen I can't imagine having to work for Bryson and having him like be mad because he sucks how many and then be like yeah it's their fault the driver sucks. How many hours a day do you think Bryson spends on hold or on the phone with various customer service representatives. He's just pissed off all the time.

Yeah probably like five to nine hours. He's a dog. Maybe we can have an emotional support dog on the course for Bryson. That actually I would I think the PGA should allow that. Yeah but I would like it to be a dog with like an attitude problem that might bite him occasionally. Yeah. Or pee on him because they I think Bryson needs a friend but a friend that will actually

like hurt him occasionally. What about Joe Biden's dog. Yeah Major Biden. Yeah he can't live in the White House. Put Major Biden out there it'll probably save the White House cat's life at some point. So yeah Major Biden. I'm sure that Major Biden is going to kill the White Sucks or the White House cat. Oh boy.

That's probably going to like Major Biden can't stop biting reporters. Yeah. He's going to see a cat running around be like that's breakfast. Yikes. Yeah so maybe he needs Major Biden is an emotional support dog either way like want to lean a Dunham's dogs that she tried to return. Oh yeah that's right. I forgot.

They're not in great headspaces right now. That was that was a good story. The yeah the I'm going to try to wake up early. I don't know if I can do it. I'm going to try and probably going to fail but golf is I mean if you think it's a great napsport in the afternoon it's even better for turning on the kind of dozing in and out of consciousness before you even have to get up. It actually it's great for delaying how late you can stay in bed.

Yeah. If you're like sorry I'm watching I'm watching golf right now. I guess it will change to the weekend. It starts a little bit later. I just love the open championship at England because they essentially like how can we make this the most miserable golfing experience possible. Yeah that's what golf is about over there which which I kind of like I like that better than the American style of golf which is let's make these perfectly manicured courses

and like cater everything to the players. This is just like we're going to fuck this plot of land up and you're going to hate it. You're going to hit you're going to pay us to have a shitty four hours. You're going to hit on a thin level layer of grass that's sitting on a beach into 30 mile an hour winds while it's constantly raining. And if you miss the fairway it's going to be 10 feet deep. Yeah we've got we've got seven holes that still have artillery shells in them from World War Two.

Yeah. And then a couple others that have just been bombed out by hand grenades and we haven't bothered to refill those bunkers. Oh yeah if you go into a bunker the bunker is 10 feet tall. Yeah. So it's a gateway to hell. It's fun. Which I love watching it.

There's nothing that I love more actually you know what this is kind of interesting because talking about the Yanis block we love watching athletes at the peak of their powers absolutely dominating. I also love the open golf when the best golfer in the world hits five shots to get out of a bunker. Yes when they get ultimately frustrated by the most frustrating game. Yes. What's that French guy.

Oh Van de Vel. Van de Vel. Yeah. Taking his shoes off. All the time. All right. So before we get to Kentucky Sports Radio which is a must listen every single year we've got some great callers especially Joanne who handed us our asses like just fucking dunked

on us. There's nothing that she said that was wrong. Do you want to do a PR 101 for Mike Silver. Well yeah I know I think it's great the Washington football team they are on a never ending quest to get some good headlines whenever they can and they pulled a masterful stroke which is just hiring Mike Silver the guy who will say you don't even have to pay Mike Silver to say nice things about you you just have to go out to steak dinners with him once every like four months like Hugh Jackson.

Yeah. Mike Silver he's a reporter NFL Network formerly he's the Hugh Jackson guy. Remember when we were at the Super Bowl a few years ago he and I got into a spirited debate at the bar shout out to Northside Tavern Northside Tavern Northside Tavern best guy born America that he was he was claiming that he was not biased about Hugh Jackson I was saying that he was but he's very he's a good guy he's a nice guy we like him but yeah I would imagine that the Washington football team will have Hugh Jackson as a coach soon and also every player don't ever be from Cal is the GM they hired him as no he's their

blog boy. Yeah he's blogger he's blogging for them and doing a podcast for the team so do we still call him a journalist. I don't know. He's Baghdad Bob you remember that guy when we were invading Iraq and he was like everything's fine. Yeah we might have to get him on to ask him on time contributors as official title contributor I do like Mike we give him a hard time but we will have to get him on to ask him what

the deal is is he a technically no longer a journalist is he dare I say it should I say the S word. Is he what. Shil. No no he's not he's a flack. Major difference. Here's the I just want to read. Is he a lackey.

Yeah he's a he's a lackey. I want to read the first paragraph of his introductory blog on the Washington football team website and really this is just perfect. The first time I experienced the power of Ron Rivera I was a UC Berkeley freshman lying flat on my back in a musty dorm lounge trying to contemplate the nonsensical cruelty of our universe. Oh that's awesome that is fucking awesome I'm so glad to have this guy blogging that team.

Oh that's going to be incredible. By the way I got breaking moves. Mike Gundy's shaved his mullet. Oh yeah it's so sad. Big 12 media day was so sad so sad that's why how can you do that. I think it regenerates super fast though like a lizard's tail he looks he looks lost he looks like he's got pain in his eyes from it. Do you think that's a name image likeness type thing.

I don't know. Because you can definitely say you know better not I'll say that Dana oh no he won't he's all about that. They're talking about the beer guy scumbag guy he's not back I think he's going to be back though. If you're Mike Gundy I believe it's a I think it's a smart move in the NIL what are we calling in this new name image likeness era of college sports to shave you can't you can't stand out more than your players.

You can market to your players like hey you'll get so much money if you come to school here people who are boosters will pay you a ton. If you have more swag than your players then they might be like listen I'm not even the biggest fish on campus. Yes. I can't deal with that. Yes and also horns down is now being cracked down on even more which is the softest move of all time these softest move of all time.

They're saying that you can't do it to a Texas player you can do it to the crowd that is and you know it came from Texas being like please stop doing horns down that Texas shouldn't be able to do horns up if you can't do horns down I agree works both ways fair play that's fucking bullshit. How could you Texas I want you know what the fans of Texas I know they don't like this I know it's just probably some some boosters who are all up in their fields the fans of Texas needs to band together and start like a change.org saying it's OK to do horns down I think that the guys who are like sports radio callers that are Texas fans hate it

they get pissed off they're like stay clout is the stay classy fans those are the ones that absolutely hate being horns down but I'd say 95 percent the silent majority of Texas fans understand like OK you're maybe we should just win football games right and then they can't do horns down right because you're going to look like a damn fool if we're beating you 50 to 3 and you just point your pinky in your index finger down to the ground need horns down fucking I need horns down alright let's get to Kentucky sports radio some great clips some callers some Billy facts about the state of Kentucky which were fantastic great job Billy we tasked you with an oral history the state of Kentucky and you nailed

Twitter on Instagram that sort of thing and you don't reply that you're not listening you're being included in the Nielsen rating so we're gonna assume if you're not listening right now yeah tell us that you're not listening we're up Billy Jenkins the dip spit and King wow how did you get that Twitter handle I that's incredible you know what's crazy is I guarantee you anyone who calls himself the dip spit and King would absolutely love you said oh geez hopefully he hopefully he's listening I think the dip spit and King is listening if we get the dip spit and King to call in I will put an entire tin of skull in my mouth and challenge him for the title of the dip spit and King Matt Jones is on vacation in

Turks and Caicos is that where he's at well actually I got a little birdie told me that Matt Jones whenever he goes on vacation is very secretive of his location so we're gonna just drop different places he may be coming back from each branch got you Matt Jones is been in the week in Boston he's saying it easy he's in Louisville Matt Jones on vacation in Malibu for the next two weeks I actually heard that he's in Nashville right now co-hosting the Clay Travis Rush Limbaugh oh okay so you know dealer's choice on that one we'll see we'll see how those rumors shake out Matt Jones is in Delray Beach Florida for the next two weeks Matt Jones is on vacation in Queens yeah I think he actually said he's doing the

five boroughs for his entire he's figure out which one he wants to live in most well what's interesting because that Matt Jones actually lives in New York City yeah it's a dirty secret in Kentucky does a show from New York City every single day claiming that he's in Kentucky city slick where are we coming back on the air by the way we're back on the oh welcome back to the part of my takeover Kentucky Sports Radio Matt Jones that's on his vacationing actually in Kentucky he's staying there he loves a dang place so much we're very happy to be taking over full line full lunch are full right now they are so yeah let's do it Shannon let's go to the next one all right we got Buck Stivers on he's gonna co-host

tomorrow on KSR with Richie Farmer so Buck oh Buck what's going on well it's just started pouring the rain here in Clay County I was hoping maybe a dollar store truck could get the wrong GPS and go up the holler and have some action today what now I can you can you now break that sentence down for us what what did that mean well the GPS usually turns the dollar store trucks up the holler here in front of the house and they can't get out the other end so it you know ends up in an adventurous day so you're looking forward to having a driver of a dollar store truck get stuck in the mud outside your house so you can watch him try to get out of the mud oh no there's no mud it's black top it's just

like the hill on the other end and they can't make the turn up the hill so they have to get one of those big trucks to come and lift them up and it blocks the traffic for a few hours it's usually a you know big thing here in Clay County wait so it's Clay County and there's no mud well there's mud in places but now we do have a you know a lot of black top roads yeah yeah that's I mean yeah yeah the new pavement is nothing better roller blading on it buck I got a question for you were have you always been a buck or were you is your given name something else then you became a buck because I think buck is one of the coolest names to have can you tell me about that transformation when you knew

you were a buck well actually my friends kind of gave me that name you know that you know my birth name was William so but the buck came later in high school would you would you do to earn the name buck because it's got to be something cool I used to do imitation Eddie Murphy's when he did but we don't say it in that lap I'm thinking that we might not want to have you do the no we don't need that that's good that was me that was me is there is there somebody else in your front group that's also named buck they said we're bucks in Clay County yeah how do you know like who is the alpha buck well I mean they just all assume it's me right well you're the one coasting tomorrow right yeah right yeah what a what hunting season

is right now in Kentucky buck I don't think there's much of anything right now you know it won't be long ago that it'll be back turkey season and their season will be here before you know it yeah let's be honest though if you go out and you see a real nice fat turkey tomorrow and you see it outside your house and you don't have any meat in your fridge are you shooting that thing buck well I mean I've got meat in the fridge but yeah I mean you know I don't think I would violate you know the butter ball makes a good bird but it does make a good bird buck I do that's a fact I might listen in tomorrow to hear you host are you gonna do you have a name for it like we call it pardon my takeover

are you gonna call it keeping it a buck oh I don't know what we'll do this actually the second time I've ever even talked on the radio you know what I think you know yeah I don't think Matt there I think he may have been real deep in whatever it is you know South of France so do you think he don't have a home in Clay County so no he doesn't well no he's got a condo you're right no condo he he owns most of the apartments right and then he leases them out and jacks the rent up on yes then he uses that money to fund his trips to the Mediterranean um but absolutely without incriminating yourself we we had a challenge today free papadeas if anyone wants to call in and admit to a crime anything you want to tell us yeah

oh well I just you know I don't think I've got any crimes that's worth that you know I think that you know I'm not sure the statute of limitations have run out on them well let's talk about a hypothetical like a guy named Chuck you know yeah wow the worst he's probably ever done you know this may be to smoke a little weed oh that's not sure sounds like a cool guy hang out with Chuck yeah when you're smoking well excuse me when Chuck is smoking that weed you ever get behind the wheel of a car oh absolutely not there we go so Chuck still I've got better you know Chuck's got better weed than that he's not getting behind the car he's getting his spaceship yeah I told you I was sitting here waiting on a dollar

store truck to go up the holler so it's me this but when it when a dollar store truck goes up the holler gets stuck on the road I can't get over that hill there do you sit out on the porch or do you go out and you offer him a hand oh we I try to if actually if I see him I stop him and we try to get him turned around here right before he goes up don't always happen right can you go down a holler or you just go up a holler you can go either way here yeah I like that what's the defining feature of a holler well I don't know what you would call the defining feature it's the bottom of everything right the bottom of everything is holler what's the difference between a holler and a gully a holler and

a gully that's a tough one you know I think you get more hung up than a gully than you would a holler you get hung up yeah what about a what about a holler and a ditch oh yeah ditch now if you're getting a ditch here you're gonna be there for a few minutes is there ditches in the holler oh yeah yeah yeah yeah they have to that's the lowest point is in the holler yeah that has to be the lowest point though right you said a holler is the lowest point the bottom of everything wouldn't a ditch in a holler be the bottom of everything well I guess if you're gonna be technical you know I mean if you're gonna be scientific about it baby we are I think yeah I guess that yeah I think that the holler if there's a ditch

in a holler that's still the holler though the ditch is included yeah the holler is the bigger the holler is a giant ditch got it and so every ditch included in the holler is also part of the holler contains multiple ditches multitudes yeah yeah yeah all right well I think we've also got we've also got a big shootout going on this weekend in Clay County wait what a big shootout yeah the black gold shootout what's what's going on there they have about 250 of the United States these people come from all over they dress up like cowboys and they carry the pistol on each hip they've got a baby carriage modified to carry rifles and shotguns and ammo and they shoot up a lot of weekend they shoot up hell what

are they they still shoot each other I hope they have they have contests you know like they have a town set up you know like where they can go and they have targets and shoot the bad guy and I guess you know things of that nature it's like training in war zone where they put you through one of those obstacle courses and they just have they have you shoot the like bandit that pops up and then it makes a little ping when you hit it absolutely yeah I like the way I'll go ahead sorry buck well it's all you know set up in in the period time you know like you have to be in your cowboy gear you know like you have to be with a six shooter I mean you know they ain't no glocks up there yeah I like the way you say right

it's it sounds like I thought there was maybe a raffle going on oh they'll probably have a rifle for a rifle up there that's gonna be confusing yeah yeah they'll probably raffle off a rifle if I'm not you know what kind of food do they serve at this is like a smoked turkey leg situation or do they have a what they have a little bit of everything I'm guessing but you know I mean mostly they you know take it from the jar yeah wait what does that mean yeah well I mean you know around here you know everybody you know like you know you got to have that sensational you know first quencher that comes in a mason god they they drink a lot of corn god a lot of corn and they're saying I thought I thought it's about food but yeah they just they skip food they just

take everything from the jar yeah I love that so I was gonna say can I go to the shootout even if I don't have a gun or is it just for gun enthusiasts absolutely yes anybody can come I love it I love it buck you are our caller of the day right now we appreciate you calling in can you leave us though with one thing can you tell us what the state of Kentucky basketball is at right now like where you feel Commonwealth as a as a as a fan as a fan I feel like we're just about ready to shoot to the top oh just about ready does that mean this year does that mean after show we're low we're loading up we're loading up right now love it loading up ready to go back go back to the top absolutely all right well buck thank you for calling in everyone listening tomorrow buck is

co-hosting tomorrow's Kentucky sports radio we appreciate it buck good luck tomorrow and have fun at the shootout this weekend thank you guys y'all have a good chat all right thanks so much Chuck all right it was buck Chuck was the yeah he's Chuck when he gets down yeah yeah got it the other thing we have we're gonna do calls in a minute we have Billy football here he's going to do the oral history of the state of Kentucky who's Billy football Billy football is our intern now full time member of the show he's a former college athlete not not a big deal was recruited by Kentucky lightly by Mark Stoops lightly you could lightly be recruited by anyone there was actually you met Mark Stoops in the band so yeah you were lightly recruited by Mark Stoops Billy had a informal

visit with Mark Billy was blackout drunk when when Mark Stoops had a visit with him Billy was 18 years old and drunk in a parking lot in Youngstown Ohio when we were interviewing Mark Stoops in the back of our van he left an impression I don't know if it was a good impression but you can count that as a visit for recruited can I back you up real quick just the phrase our 18 year old intern was blackout yeah well in the back of a van whoa when we met Mark whoa we did not tell but we told him not to drink not to drink he did so bad illegally our direct orders and that's why he probably never got that full-time offer but he did speak to Mark Stoops we were in a bar and we told Billy you can't be in the bar to be safe go wait in the parking lot and then we came out and

he was like funneling beers with like stool he's like yeah he's like a bunch of guys came to the van and they're like Billy you won't drink these beers and then I had no choice but I had to drink you don't understand big cat he got iced in that parking lot and Billy had to take a knee and Billy was so drunk that we left we left Youngstown I wasn't drinking I was driving so I we were driving on the highway in Pennsylvania and our tires on our 1993 van blew out going 70 miles an hour on the highway we pulled over we got out we looked at the tires Billy woke up in the back seat he's like oh are we here and so that was yes it was honestly about 20 minutes on the road and we had it was such like a bumpy exit from the highway when our tire blew out Billy for some reason thought that

we were like in a parking lot of a best Western hotel yes in reality we're getting buzzed by semi-trailer yes all right Billy you ready to go give us let's let's start the oral history of the state of Kentucky this is by Billy football once recruited loosely by Mark Stoops so there is his Kentucky he's basically a prodigal son of the state of Kentucky he was a two-star recruit actually by one for every BAC that he had well Kentucky fun fact isn't actually a state like Massachusetts and other colonial Virginia Virginia it is a Commonwealth sounds communist Kentucky was once part of Virginia but because they were so far from Richmond and no Kentuckians wanted to travel to the capital they decided to make their own state I actually think it was relatable it was

a part of West Virginia it was a West West Virginia wait so they basically were like the traffic is too bad we don't really want to do this commute exactly that's I love I love the basis of what Kentucky was built on essentially saying I don't want to sit in my car or horse drawn carriage for more than you know a half hour yeah my podcast don't go that Joe Rogan only has three hours of podcast listen to while I'm riding my horse to Richmond let's just make our own state I think big cat it could have been easily solved maybe if Kentucky had faster horses yeah they probably wouldn't have had to secede unfortunately the horse capital of the world it's very slow Brooklyn New York yep bro it's the horse capital the bourbon capital the barbecue

capital and the grass capital yes Lexington was at one time considered the Athens of the west well one time I still do have you ever been to Lexington it is actually a gorgeous gorgeous city Keeneland is this is where I always find common grounds with our listeners Keeneland is my favorite racetrack to go to I did it is fantastic I did the bourbon tour of the Buffalo Trace distillery one time just outside of Lexington wonderful place I tried to steal Pappy Van Winkle I'm not any longer welcome back in the city of Lexington or the surrounding areas but I still love it yeah it's it's fantastic so so put some respect on it it still is considered the Athens of the west in my mind Daniel Boone yeah was on the forefront of paving the way for Kentucky's statehood

and uh wait is that the guy with the raccoon hat yeah that he killed a bear when he was through the rocket you also started this by saying Kentucky's not a state well he failed clearly uh Daniel Boone was the guy that invented that knife yes yes is this Daniel Boone Pickens the Oklahoma state booster D Boone Pickens um Kentucky bluegrass is actually from Spain oh what very cosmopolitan so it's the Athens of the United States it's uh most famous import is from Spain it is maybe the most cosmopolitan state in the United States keep going we got a minute left then we're gonna take a break Kentucky state beverage is milk oh milk really it's milk really how much bourbon they store largest in the world and uh mint juleps they serve at the Kentucky Derby

Kentucky state beverage is milk I actually think that's that's not a bad call if you had to do like one beverage for the rest of your life I'd probably go water one but milk's not so bad a lot of things you know used for milk I think if you have to drink one beverage your entire life from cradle to grave it really only has to be milk right milk um I also want to shout out humongous said I've lived in Kentucky my whole life and milk did Billy get his research from babies Billy did you get your research from babies you talked to to ten different babies and asked them what their favorite nine out of ten babies recommend milk that's actually fantastic we're gonna get back to Kentucky sports radio and the callers in a second but before we do shout out to

yes let's go to pike pike what's up pike hey pike yeah that's my that is my real name pike and you've been talking a lot about college basketball coaches Shannon's actually a big endorser of our car dealership Conway Heaton 810 North Archery Barshow Kentucky um who do you think wait say that again that was an incredible incredible plug Conway Heaton Ford Barshow Kentucky 810 North Archery no but can you say it fast like you did the first time like it's at the end of a car commercial only once a day I get a little tired but so um who do you think would be the best used car salesman of a college basketball coach but there's one caveat they have to wear big bins walking boot oh I think I mean the the easy answer is going to be Sean Miller on this one

just because you can see him patrolling the lot out there sweating through his suit that's a man that was born to be in a used car commercial I'll go with uh I'll go with Frank Martin I think Frank Martin you walk in and he's selling you something and if you if he's not selling you something you're so intimidated by him that you will buy something just because you want to end the whole like transaction on a good note well I went to university at Tennessee and if you're going to talk about somebody sweating through their suit how you leaving Bruce Pearl out of the car oh Bruce Pearl I feel like good one I feel like Bruce Pearl would be he'd be tough because you get in the car on the test drive with him and he would have to like the you would have to get

into a truck with him because a normal car would not fit his giant body yeah and then he's like hey look this glove compartment's where you can listen to other people's conversations and wrap them out uh so you're a Tennessee grad so Rick Barnes would what he'd sell no no I didn't actually I didn't graduate oh okay all right well I appreciate that the honesty you didn't have to do that I mean he's a used car salesman yeah uh Rick Barnes would would that be like you buy the car and then when the minute that you needed to actually perform it just breaks down yeah yeah his his definitely won't make it a hundred thousand miles but our baseball coach at Tennessee I think he would he would be a a Mustang guy he's going a hundred miles

now and we just found him so I like that what about a used car dealer in Barshaw Kentucky that's Tennessee fan how smart is that oh yeah not bad yeah what do you do you know what do you just let them like I would imagine it's like a clown in a dunk tank you just kind of you throw a couple of jabs at them and then they eventually just get to dunk you is that how it goes your interactions big it's actually that's almost exactly right except for I ride around in my orange golf cart and let them throw water balloons at me that's actually perfect because I'm sure every other person up there is a big Kentucky guy they wear their Kentucky Phantom on their sleeve at least you stand out a little bit even if you're the guy that they love to boo you know

that's exactly right and all these Kentucky guys you know they're they're just aging out what's the last time they went to a final four oh now that's the main talk listen we got to look it up and see I don't have the stat in front of me right now 2015 that long ago yeah I can't be right Billy they went to the final four that year that can't be right Kentucky's a great program I'm sure they've been in the last couple years at least have we talked about Cal on the hot seat yet because I think he's about the fault yeah well I think he's just gonna retire I think this is the twilight of his career he's just enjoying himself right now he wants to be able to go out and watch his kids play in the NBA someday we'll know if Cal still has it if they get Kofi Coburn on on on

this Kentucky team that will be the any chance that's the test any chance Brad Calipari's named coach and waiting I would hope so I would hope so I think that coach Cal should actually just name his son coach and waiting then dare them to not hire him after he retired like change his name legally to coach and waiting well he should change his name to coach Cal yeah coach Cal all right well thank you yeah I know you'll need to go but I think he should get a tattoo given not earned but yes yes or just put a question mark at the end of his earned not given yes yes um pikey thank you we're going to give you just a free Papadea so go to your local Papa Johns and whisper in their ear uh free Papadea Kentucky sports radio and they'll give it to you he's gone oh he's gone

he might have missed that on that so someone else can use that someone else whisper into someone's ear that all right next call Shannon let's go to mark mark what's up oh hey gentlemen how y'all doing great good how are you I I'm so good and now boys I'm a lexington resident and I wanted to know what you thought about the Kentucky Stags handball club this season want to see how they'll do in the midwest team handball league I'm a big fan one of my boys on the team I think that's not yeah it is the Kentucky Stags I was actually watching a couple of their games yesterday uh it's a put up or shut up season for sure you guys have all the talent accumulated some matter put it together get on the same page frankly your captain has not been

really showing too many signs of leadership and I question his ability to get over that hump but you know what that's you guys have to prove it to me now I'm sick of all the hype year after year of the Kentucky Stags do you watch these games you go to these games it looks like it's just I mean it's it's essentially just like intramural dodgeball is what I'm looking at I'm looking at the the website right now I mean I watch all the games because my boy's on the team but uh I think there's about seven or eight spectators usually it seems like and I might be way off but like it seems like you could be on the team too if you just signed up and paid for a jersey yeah where do you watch them or do you have to be in person but you gotta you gotta go to the park down there

usually they're not streaming but I mean if they're streamable tweet them at you but we get three or four viewers stream oh nice so wait but you could be on the team could you not oh no I told my ACL college it ain't it ain't going nowhere I'm pretty sure you could probably still play recreational handball in a in a Kentucky league even though you tore your ACL 15 years ago wait did you I wouldn't call it recreational they're at the top level of American handball they're uh they're right up there big boys in Columbus wait wait this torn ACL did you get it fixed I mean I got it fixed but it it was never the same I got playing handball actually too so I passed it down to my boys because uh they can follow the legacy that that I couldn't yeah but I mean then the knock against you as you

know we've said it a hundred times about you you're just too injury prone to be great yeah I question your will if you can overcome a little thing like a torn ACL I mean you know what they say there's there's a will there's a way and if there's a way there's a way to get to the Olympics but for me uh dream was just cut short teeny bit teeny bit all right I just think that if you're going to put it together your goalie Jacob Roberts has to step it up this year and really solidify himself number one because like right now people are asking is he really the guy I'm just confused it thanks for the call I'm confused like that would be that would be me like saying like hey my boy uh I go out and check out my boy he plays uh you know intramural softball on Tuesday nights like I'm

gonna go watch him play I think you can play on this I think you just have to show up and you're on this team a big at the Kentucky Stags their coaches from Spain they take this stuff seriously they're my favorite part I think about the Kentucky Stags is the team badge because it's got the hand ball it's got a deer on there it says Kentucky Stags and then says they're founding year do you know when they were founded big at uh 2019 2020 they were founded so it's off by a year uh shout out to dip spit and king he actually uh tweeted at me said thanks for the shout out I look forward to hearing it when I get off work so dip spit and king you're a legend I don't know how you got that I do I do not know how you got that handle but man you're a legend so a dip spit and king never

listens to the show live because he's working yeah he remember he didn't bash us he just said oh geez oh yeah so so that could be a good or bad oh geez we don't we have no idea I have so many questions for the dip spit and king what brand do you dip how did you get your title have you ever dipped too much is your son the prince yeah so there's a lot of things all right speaking of the law we have our guy TJ Smith call TJ he'll make him pay Kentucky sports radio is brought to you by TJ Smith law office TJ it's great to talk to you we haven't talked in a year how is the legal business going right now well the legal business has been slow as far as court hearings because of COVID but we're back with a vengeance I'm just now tuning in because I've been on a zoom deposition

all morning but I heard you guys were on and I wanted to check in with you I love it TJ let me ask you about the about the last year or so with people getting out less frequently has that impacted your business are people getting injured at a lower frequency than they had in the past they aren't but I've seen uh uh incidences of uh more serious injuries if you will listen I want to talk to you guys about something as Matt's personal representative and his make him pay attorney we were talking about fraud yep don't don't don't be don't be throwing out any slander on on my boy okay well it's is it slander or libel do you even know the difference well he's a public figure so it's probably not yeah well he's a public figure I think you also have to prove

that we have intent and that we know for a fact that Matt Jones doesn't commit voter fraud on a massive scale every year and frankly I I don't know whether he does or doesn't so it looks like we've got an ironclad case on our side here TJ it's kind of like those deposition videos that I saw of you guys uh smacking down those lawyers um that uh that had filed frivolous litigation against you yes yeah doesn't parody law cover literally everything like we could go and commit any crime we want and just say it was a joke well I think that's pushing it a little bit but uh just so you don't uh just so you don't commit any torts and hurt anybody so that uh you get me involved and then we make them pay yeah I think you guys I think you guys mean me on

retainer a regular basis for I'm down for that how many papadias would it cost to get you on retainer papadias yeah I'd have to charge you then if you're gonna give me papadias but I'll take a dollar and I'll stay on retainer for you there you go I think you're our lawyer now well our second lawyer we also have Mr. Portner you guys will have to work in concert with one another but how does that work if we're public figures and we're slandering another public figure I feel like that's double jeopardy nobody gets charged well I don't think people care about any public figures anymore or frankly well except for Chrissy Teigen we hope that I don't think juries are going to be very I don't think juries are very uh very friendly toward public figures at this

point with the climate the country is it stands right now yeah that's true I just do want to say though for Chrissy Teigen I hope that she's able to battle back back bravely from threatening to kill other people on Twitter yes yes TJ question for you has anyone ever asked you uh to represent them in emotional distress because Kentucky landed like four or five stars instead of five they have not but I but I do feel like uh folks are ready to jump off the bridge when some kid hits the transport portal yes so can can we set that precedent that hey maybe if if Kentucky doesn't have a good season this year we're going to see a lot of fans start suing the university and coach Cal for emotional distress because that would be two straight years of poor play no they'll just be

calling in saying Matt I don't know what John Calipari's doing to this team and we need to get a change and have some four-year players well what about this can a coach like coach Cal or coach K sue players that enter into the transfer portal for inflicting emotional distress on them well of course not that's why the NCAA is such an ironclad institution of learning academics and furthering students that student athletes accept the rules and we'll just follow the rules and play by their rules I love it TJ that's why you're the best because you get it you get it and uh so TJ we wish you all the best we're gonna send you that dollar in the mail uh you will be on retainer you're making them pay has there ever been someone like hey I don't want to pay and

you're like you just point to the sign you're like hey listen I'm TJ well then he then you usually show him the courthouse door and you set him in a little chair by the judge in front of some folks and let those folks decide whether they're gonna pay and only once in the last 18 years is somebody not pay wait oh that's your record what's your what's your official record I have one lost in the last 18 years you like Lenny Dykes that's incredible that's and that's insane well I mean you know you know you don't try every case and some of them they go south on you but if I if I go to the jury um I think so was your one loss facts to win what was your one loss it was a well is the case where I was trying to change the world frankly if you remember when pentos were blowing

up and uh killing people this was about a school bus design and a defective design and so I tried a case for 18 days I lost but the court of appeals agreed with me and they sent it back for a new trial and so the other side's still trying to get out of it by taking the case to the supreme court where I'm completely confident that will prevail wait I'm trying to make sure yeah how did you lose a case against school buses that blew up and killed children well it didn't blow up their roof crust when it turned over and and I had an engineer that said that it would be easy easy to feasibly design a better roof system protect kids and in this case the jury disagreed now I want to tell you guys this bus design hadn't been changed since 1959

as far as we can tell not through our deposition process but the jury still didn't care because we didn't get a fair shot from the judge in the case that's incredible that your one loss you can confidently say I'm trying to change the world and if we go to the supreme court so you might be in the supreme court at some point just just saving kids lives yes it would be my third trip wow incredible tj is for the children tj I love it you know what I think not only will we endorse you as our lawyer I want to endorse your position in this lawsuit too so if you could tack on like tj slash part of my take v the united states or whatever that's going to be I just want to be in a textbook one day where people have to look back on my name and uh and learn about me for a freshman

year class there you go guys hey it's always a pleasure to listen to you I we love having you on and we appreciate you calling in and good luck save those kids tj uh we we appreciate it so go check out tj smith law office call tj he'll make him pay we'll talk to you later tj thank you so much thanks guys that is an incredible thing to be able to say like one I've lost one case well you notice one case was actually trying to save the world next call Shannon let's go to joanne joanne joanne I don't know who you all are don't know where you come from but I hope I never hear from you again truth that's ever been on ksr all you have done is put Kentucky down no no no no go back

and I thought who are these people badmouthing my cats but then I listened to your show because I thought how can they hate us this much and I kind of figured you out and now I make a point to listen to you every year love it I love it and listen we we have no ill will towards Joanne we love Joanne we we just want to make it right we want Joanne to turn into a story like you she just hung up on you oh no but that was like that was like the rocky like if I could change you can change speech right there because I think what she realized is we make fun of everyone including ourselves the most so it's nothing ever personal unless it's about Duke I do truly hate Duke and the Green Bay Packers but everything else is just having some fun we will grow on you

week shout out this guy Joel Beal uh who just summed up everything perfectly he's a senior writer at golf digest he said for those scoring at home Bryson's driver sucks he needed more from his caddy his 44 at the us open was nothing but bad breaks he lives rent free in brooks head but wants no part of the feud rules marshals have it out for him the usga has it out for him and he's not a slow player well that sums it up and also insects can't stand him yeah that's mad at he's mad at bugs oh man all right Hank where do I begin oh where do you begin uh oh are you down bad I'm moving this week uh so that's like one of those just coming off a 10 day bender vacation and then immediately having to move has been tough uh I'm fat again yeah so Hank uh I've lost to Jake

Marsh today oh okay should we stay on that no no no that's that was a side note well Hank he's getting a six pack and uh I think it was Tuesday morning he walked in he was standing next to me and he was just eating a casual Tuesday morning donut what type old-fashioned no sugar I was like Hank no sugar in the old-fashioned what's going on with the six pack and then he started googling it in all years he goes 31 months is what it says it takes to get a six pack well listen I have no food like you know what you know the process of moving it's not like no it's impossible it's impossible to be going to the gym and also trying to pack yourself stuff up I have nothing in the fridge so I was getting a coffee I needed something in my stomach so I grabbed the donut and then I

walked in and big hat was like in my face with the camera um well you said you we had a bet that you I do have a bet and then I in my head I'm like I'm skinny it only take me a few weeks to to shed some pounds to get a six pack to a couple crunches and I'm like I looked up Google to try and defend my argument because grit week uh I don't know if we've announced when group week is it's coming my plan was to have a six pack by group week and then I googled it and there was I was like can you get a six pack in in x amount you are a big bet you're a big bet right now and yeah it's not looking good I realized that we totally blew it calling it the bb7 method I was on Pittsburgh radio today I was like it should be called the big Ben quarterback met the bbq

met yeah yes yes really blew that one but Hank I think you can still do it because you're right you're skinny you're a skinny boy for the most part you're small you just have like a little layer I also think let's see I also think it's your posture sometimes sometimes be the belly sometimes your posture makes it bubble out a little bit let's see it let's see the belly come on show off no take your shirt off you're doing the posture take your shirt off uh yeah you're right right around the corner you're skinny you got this you got this Hank you got this you got this well what you said something funny there Jake beat you again yeah just once though right well yeah and in the series yeah he's in one series I mean good news is he didn't embarrass you this time right no I mean

he yeah he was coming off a tough week there wasn't there was no get to that it wasn't a sweep right we'll get to that technically it was yeah oh oh shit was it close at least relatively speaking yeah it was relatively mean like I destroyed pft it was not as bad as oh he beat Hank beat you yeah but I mean I had a bad back messed up knee after I beat Marty I injured myself in the in the second match got it still played and beat him and a sunburn that's my firefest actually is Ray Baker got the best of me big time yesterday on that sunblock I was that you want to see look at this look at this sick brag that you got a sunburn on a Wednesday Ray Ray Baker absolutely nuked me in the morning uh tough break but maybe that's a sign maybe that's uh suns and six yeah there it is so

spin zone that I actually did bet on the suns yesterday because I had a sunburn and I was like this is a sign uh turns out no it's just two separate cases of my brain being really dumb yeah those yeah those don't have any do with each other my firefest is um I downloaded uh the f1 game on my phone and I've just looked it up and I've spent 140 dollars upgrading my car in the last two weeks so isn't that aren't you supposed to do that with your gameplay yeah I yeah but I kept on getting smoked and I was trying to push push push but I didn't have the juice so that's f1 though it you gotta you gotta have the most money if you want to win right exactly so I think I'm going to outspend the competitors but that always is a terrible feeling to download one of those stupid

games on your phone and then just start throwing money at it for nothing we're absolutely a real simple solution though with call duty that every like few weeks that would come out with a new like operator skin and like cool gun that you never even used but you're like that looks cool when you're driving down the streets at Monza and you're getting fucking toasted by the guy in front of you you know that you need some money behind your engine you just gotta do what Kim Kardashian did and she was like guess what my son uh stole my phone and then next thing I knew I've got 150 dollars worth yeah I know yeah just tweet at them and be like hey I think I think my two-year-old really loves your game but don't but don't take away my upgrades to the aerodynamics of my car

yeah but you but this is on them not you no it's it's it's all there's nothing that I'm putting on it for the exterior it's all it's all the real stuff I'm getting brake pads I'm getting fucking you know what kind of energy you're working with uh I drive the Ferrari car I'm a Ferrari guy so you know maybe think about the Honda no come on something a little more uh price conscious a little more practical no it's not it's bad and I'm actually thinking about it right now like I have a big race tonight I'm going to spend more money on it so that number on your phone yeah it's sick it's pretty good to get it's a fun game uh Jake hey guys hey Jake I would be happy back you do yeah I don't think anyone's seen this good thing it wasn't on camera uh so

you talking to the girl at the bar no but I believe we found the person what and it's his name Jake yeah holy shit which is I would never lie to you if you want to say your last name no I won't do that to him so are you just making up this person no thanks all the dm go back yeah I can I can confirm okay all right good yeah so that's fortunately that's done uh so I was in the south this week not Colorado Arkansas and Alabama okay um and we were meeting up with head coach Eric Musselman friend of the program recurring guest and we were doing a little video Rico Bosco if you don't know him he's a big merch guy so we were in the equipment room he's like Jake why don't you have uh must give you one t-shirt I'll give you the bot and I'll take

the box so I go up must give me the t-shirt I go in for the handshake again I don't think anyone's seen this yet and uh he goes in for the hug uh-huh this communication I get a little flustered walk the wrong way oh no and then go back to the hug did you yeah I mean that happens where someone goes and shake hug did you you didn't like melt into his arms or anything no I don't really know what happened puddle and your body language you were nodding but you said no you did you whisper in his ears I feel so small in your arms because that's what I did not say anything it seemed but you know what happens with adversity you try to make up for it so we ran it back a few minutes later it doesn't count how'd it go this time I didn't see that I didn't see that it

I'm comparing it to Virginia's story UMBC embarrassing come back one at all good redemption story I wouldn't say you won at all with the second one would you say that it compromises you as a journalist not only that you're accepting free gift I heard you're talking about the silver of of Arkansas basketball essentially no no I went to tell me about the first time that you experienced the power of Eric Musselman I accept the gift I won't wear the other team's gear I'll put it in your pile we'll auction it off for charity okay well I ride the musk bus so I'd like to keep the okay or I can give it to you yes awesome so you had a good trip though it was awesome yeah it was a lot of fun NATO it's too recurring guests yep did you beat

yourself up a little bit about the handshake I mean by the looks of twitter I was the first person ever to screw up a handshake how many how many times did you watch it honestly not as many as Rico because it was supposed to be a video about Rico and his merch joke I stole the spotlight from him but I to answer your question classic Jake Jake didn't answer your question Hank I watched it about 150 times same yes on loop if you had to do it again what lessons have you learned from it uh you you know must he's a big loving guy I should have just went in for the hug because we'd already been there for 24 hours wait you're you the way you learn is that you should have hugged him harder no I went in for the hand if I went in for the hug initially

oh I was gonna say you should probably because you clearly don't know how to interact with people you should probably just cut off your hands so no one will ever try to shake you know you know what happened the first time I shook your hand what our interview oh you had wet hands yeah yeah you did you had clammy ass hands nervous and Saudi Arabia they would absolutely just hot that thing off seriously if you screwed up a handshake it would help everyone it would help you would help the people around you just no handshake just put them behind my back no you get a prosthetic microphone like that would give you a leg up in the journalism in a hug yeah yeah jake if you were like a double hand amputee I guarantee you'd have a play-by-play like a solid gig next year maybe the

last five minutes of every interaction you have you have like a pair of like you remember the mittens that had the connector when you're a little kid you just put on a pair of mittens all right and it's like hey when when you go to say goodbye it's like hey listen I can't I can't be expected to do this like a normal human being so see you later well at the end of the day talked about this with pft and hank during school streams coach still respects me that's what matters most I don't know reputation so I'd rather keep that intact it's big and invite us back they have some big home games batting of course the west virginia bob huggins friend of the program uh-huh so if he invites us back and he still respects me maybe I call game for them one day that's

what matters most isn't that isn't that the greatest phrase ever though coach still respects me yeah he does he still respects you I have maybe an easier solution though you just you always have two coffees just get two things from carbon I do have a water bottle with me at all time so then you have that then you have two water bottles in your hands you can't shake anyone's hand yeah fair do you carry an inhaler no around your necklace Zertek Tylenol and water you keep that on them things on you all the time stay strapped Zertek exactly all right Billy and then go into your recap which you did a great job on Wednesday so I also moved last weekend at the end of the 10 day weekend and I just figured out that my utilities is not in my rent which I'm just moving

out of home for the first time yeah so I can't figure out how to pay those bills because don't I know but then I have to like go through the utility company yes and they haven't given me the account number and like all these little organizational things that I'm just really really bad at you come on a human being right but then my lights might get shut off here's the thing though Billy don't shut them off for a little tip if you don't check your mail you don't have to pay the bills that are in there it takes a while for them to shut them off your landlord might also you might just have to pay him okay you should just hit him up and be like hey do I pay you or do you want me to take over the account yeah it's just a lot of organizational

stuff that I just not good at but you're growing up actual piece of life advice Billy just set up autopay yeah otherwise otherwise you you'll come home and your billy will be off Billy's gonna learn real quickly how much electricity costs to keep six terrariums lit up all day I know it's gonna be tough but yeah are you bringing any of the animals with you yes I'm in a place where they're all legal who who'd you bring with you oh I got my dog what's his name I got my whitey I got my frogs how many how many frogs came with you I got three frogs are those that carol baskins all of those are the cats no the cats all got adopted out I got a hedgehog so it's all good what about that is a lot of electricity chickens could not come okay there's a lot of electricity

I'm about to figure that out I think I might hop on cameo okay and then yeah you had another one um no that seems about it all right so your recap my recap so um the olympics are coming up around the corner and as we've been seeing a lot of olympians have been getting tested for um performance tantric substances and all that sort of stuff guess what sport is also in the olympics and they're starting to do the eligibility for table tennis golf oh so you know if you see any like discrepancies in people's you know drives swing and their size compared to their size maybe two years ago interesting okay and these golfers are going to the olympics yeah yeah driving if there's like any problems uh I don't think so remember it was I think Colin Mori call because

remember we talked to him about how I'm not gonna root for us if Bryson's on it yeah well anyway totally separate issue but like yeah you know we'll see how they because they don't drug test in the pga yeah does the ioc do they have like a hotline that if you're anonymous you can call in I don't know I don't think anybody's had any like weird discrepancies yeah and the ioc's not it's not hard those drug tests no no I well actually they're pretty hard they're pretty hard oh they are yeah so who knows unless the olympics are in Russia yeah and then um Chris Paul wasn't drinking his secret stuff last night oh interesting you know he had that bottle of secret stuff yes thought to be promoting space jam but if we think he's got some vertigo or something maybe interesting uh and um

I bet you LeBron's like so happy that Chris Paul's failing right now so he can be like hey come to LA and we'll win I'll win you a ring listen what I just found the ioc integrity line oh it's a form that you can fill out online if anybody happens to fit those those descriptions that that we just listed uh just google ioc integrity and compliance hotline hypothetically no everything I said was just a joke um and also Hank you should really lay off the carbs you want that six pack agreed agreed once I'm fully moved in I'm back on a diet but carb free you can't start a diet in the process of moving I'm carb free except for donuts on saturday and also pizza on saturday it's actually on sunday it's actually the best time to start a diet because you just don't buy any
