The weather's supposed to be 13 00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:45.439 bad on Monday. I'm upset. Anyway, I'll have to turn 14 00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:47.920 into a meteologist and work this out. I have to 15 00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:51.000 call God. That's what I'm have to do. But and 16 00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:54.920 we've got a lot to do today. We've got national news. 17 00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:57.960 I'm gonna let you start. We're gonna preface it with this. 18 00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:01.039 I want everyone to listen to. You were talking about 19 00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:06.400 Niger Kennedy yesterday, the great pitcher that transferred from Stanford 20 00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:10.760 to Texas. Take that defeated Oklahoma five or six times 21 00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:16.480 in a row softball champions right, and what transpired last night? 22 00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:19.359 What happened last night, Anthony, before we play our tape, 23 00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:22.359 What did she do that was just unbelievable. No one 24 00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:22.920 could believe it. 25 00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:27.560 Oh my gosh, something that you wouldn't expect from a 26 00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:31.200 player for caliber. Obviously, in their game last night, they 27 00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:34.159 were up one l going into the bottom of the 28 00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:37.719 six and obviously Text had two outs, two batters on, 29 00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.319 and she was trying to walk Reese Atwood, which is 30 00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:42.200 one of the best hitters. 31 00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:42.840 She's a catcher. 32 00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:46.200 They're trying to intentionally walk her. So she threw three balls. 33 00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:48.879 But the first three she threw. 34 00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:51.040 They were almost kind of they almost looked like strikes, 35 00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:52.000 which kind of threw me off. 36 00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:54.799 They almost did, they almost did exactly. 37 00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:56.200 I was like there, I was like, they're a little 38 00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:58.680 like they're a little close to be a be a ball. 39 00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:00.480 And usually in balls like you know do like Bajor 40 00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:02.920 League baseball, college baseball, they just stand over. 41 00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:04.519 To the side away from the play and they throw it. 42 00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:08.319 Yes, women looked completely different, like the catcher just stood 43 00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:09.719 straight up and down right behind the place. 44 00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:12.400 So the first three. She didn't swing the fourth one. 45 00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:15.280 I guess Resatte was says she's just gonna go for 46 00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:17.039 it and take a risk, and she swung and she 47 00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:20.719 hit it and she got an RBI doubled taking. Texas 48 00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:23.400 takes the lead up to one going into the top 49 00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:26.639 of the seventh and Texas Texts couldn't get it done 50 00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:28.439 when it came to batting down, and you know, in 51 00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:31.840 that clutch moment, and that's how Textas stealed the deal, honestly, 52 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:35.319 And it was off of Loki. I don't want to 53 00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:36.919 say kind of an accident, but it kind of was. 54 00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:40.199 It was just a mistake. Well, let's let's listen to Channon. 55 00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:42.560 I've got some audio from you all I need you 56 00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:44.919 to listen to. It was just crazy and exactly it 57 00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:49.039 was just not executed properly. A attempted walk that was 58 00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:51.560 not executed properly. Let's hear Channing. 59 00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:54.639 I can't tell you how happy I am that I 60 00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:57.039 am not going to start this conversation with a question 61 00:02:57.159 --> 00:02:59.639 about obstruction. Thank goodness, we get to it. 62 00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:00.560 We're gonn to get to it. 63 00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:05.000 But let's start with Atwood. Remarkable at that and I 64 00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:09.439 thought it was interesting watching those pitches for an intentional walk. 65 00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:11.719 There's a lot of had a lot of the plate, 66 00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:14.439 it felt like, and for Atwood to have the guts 67 00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:16.319 to think, I'm gonna take my shot. What'd you think 68 00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:19.240 of that in real time, Jessica Scott. 69 00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:21.879 I think the irony of Nija Kennedy being the pitcher 70 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.080 that only knows how to light up the strike zone 71 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:27.719 couldn't throw a ball in the biggest moment of her career. 72 00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:31.120 I mean, she's never had an intentional walk. She dominates 73 00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:35.199 the game. Reese Atwood recognize that first two pitches, She's like, huh, 74 00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:37.439 these are a little bit more metior than what you're 75 00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:40.919 used to, so usually you're seeing the catcher other batter's box. 76 00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:44.120 I've been intentionally walked. We've all seen exactly where that 77 00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:46.520 pitch is supposed to end up. And Reese Atwood she 78 00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:48.879 just told Holly wrote three to zero. She decided to 79 00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:50.960 take a risk and swing at that. Scott, you don't 80 00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:54.120 see it. I just find it ironic that Nyja Kennedy, 81 00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:56.639 of all the things that she can do, she doesn't 82 00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:58.960 know how to throw a ball in one of the 83 00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:00.639 biggest moments of her career. 84 00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:03.000 Savon and Kennedy. 85 00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:05.240 It lives up to what you think it might be. 86 00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:08.599 And anytime you have a championship game, a lot of 87 00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:11.159 what happens early and you can. 88 00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:16.879 Cut right there. So Anthony just a mistake, Yes, Nija 89 00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:20.519 Kennedy claimed it. Anthony. After the game, she said, that 90 00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:23.040 was my mistake, no one else's. I cost my team. 91 00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:26.759 I have to do better, no excuses. She had never 92 00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:30.360 had an intentional walk, Anthony, but there were still no excuses. 93 00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:34.000 She accepted full responsibility, which is all you can do. 94 00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:36.680 I made mistakes as an athlete. We all have. That's 95 00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:38.079 all she can do and she'll have to move on. 96 00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:43.240 But it's funny. Van Pelt was talking about obstruction Anthony, 97 00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:44.920 which would have been the biggest play of the game 98 00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:49.439 if that wouldn't have happened with the intentional walk. They 99 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:54.639 called obstruction Anthony on Texas Texas Second Basement, saying that 100 00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:57.639 her foot was in the path every player running from 101 00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:01.199 first to second before she caught the ball. She tagged 102 00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:03.920 her out. It wasn't even close, Anthony. It wasn't close. 103 00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:07.519 But they went back and reviewed the tape, and that's 104 00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:10.279 why Van Pelt was talking about we're not talking about 105 00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:13.079 obstruction when they should have Anthony, that should have been 106 00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:16.319 an out, but the rules stated you could not have 107 00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:20.720 any part of your body between first and second base 108 00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:23.319 when a runner is running without the ball, and she 109 00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:26.720 had not caught the ball yet. But Anthony, the runner 110 00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:31.079 wasn't within ten feet of the plate either. It wasn't close. 111 00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:35.600 So a lot of crazy plays last night. Watch women's softball. 112 00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:39.560 It is exciting, period, point blank. Now hit me with 113 00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:41.600 the rest of the national news, Anthony, before I get 114 00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:44.040 into who my guests will be in about four or 115 00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:47.680 five minutes. Cat fans are gonna love this person. Love him. 116 00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:50.079 I do too. He's a great guy. But we give 117 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:53.319 each other all kind of grief. You talk about cats 118 00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:57.360 and cards. Oh it's a cat and dogfight. You just wait, Anthony. 119 00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:00.519 Hit him with the national news, of course. 120 00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:02.560 And obviously can't forget about obviously. We had our first 121 00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:05.720 game of the Stanley Cup last night. Florida Panthers. They 122 00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:08.959 gave up a tough loss last night, tough loss. 123 00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:10.480 They were up. They were up to to one in 124 00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:14.000 the end of the first in the first period. Obviously, 125 00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:16.000 going into the second they had scored again, so did 126 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:16.920 the Edmonton Oilers. 127 00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:18.680 Taking the lead up to three to two. 128 00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:21.959 The Oilers did surge back late in the third period, 129 00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:24.720 with six minutes ago they scored Beckham scored to tie 130 00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:26.600 it up three to three, and then they went into overtime. 131 00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:28.439 Their overtime went almost to the very end. 132 00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:30.240 The only thing that cost to. 133 00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:32.959 Florida Panthers is one of their players had gotten to 134 00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:34.959 the penalty box and Edmonton had a power play for 135 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:37.839 two minutes and in that power play they scored within 136 00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:40.120 like forty five seconds of that power play, and they 137 00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:42.680 pretty much won an overtime four to three, giving them 138 00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:44.959 one of the lead in the first in the first 139 00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:48.079 game of the series. Given that four to three, four 140 00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:50.360 to three win at home, which was which is tough 141 00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:55.079 because Panthers had them, but they couldn't they couldn't feel 142 00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:57.040 the deal off in the third period, and then overtime 143 00:06:57.079 --> 00:06:58.879 they just they put themselves in the hole given them 144 00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:02.639 that power play. Obviously, Edmonton's got some of the best boys. 145 00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:04.839 If you've ever if you've never watched hockey, you need 146 00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:07.439 to watch Conomy David, because Commick David is insane. 147 00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:11.079 Yeah, he's a real deal, no question, he's the real deal. 148 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:14.800 I mean, just people don't know. I've never gotten into 149 00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:19.160 it until I started a show. But boy, there's a 150 00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:21.720 lot of good sports going on right now. Anthony got 151 00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:24.800 the Open coming up next week. I mean, we've got 152 00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:30.160 hockey and basketball championships, Softball baseball starts this weekend super 153 00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:33.199 Regionals with Louisville. I mean, we've got a ton of 154 00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:36.079 things going on for us to watch and be interested in. 155 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:38.600 So makes it easy on talk radio, that's for sure, 156 00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:42.800 really easy. And what's going on with that basketball side tonight? 157 00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:47.959 What's going on? I mean MVP Shay Gildicks Alexander former 158 00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:53.360 University Kentucky player, I mean, first MVP ever from University 159 00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:55.639 of Kentucky, which is amazing to me, out of all 160 00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:58.560 the great players. I didn't believe that's stat to be correct. 161 00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:02.319 But still we got a great game tonight. What do 162 00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:04.879 you think happens? Okay, see in a route. 163 00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:11.720 I think the pace will surprised, and I think this 164 00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:14.600 first game be a little bit closer than we expect. 165 00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:18.319 Obviously it is at the Thunder. The Thunder haven't played 166 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:20.120 a game in almost probably a week and a half. 167 00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:23.079 Pacers haven't played in about a week. The spread is 168 00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:23.800 nine and a half. 169 00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:26.600 Obviously on this game is okay, see favored, but the 170 00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:28.079 total is a high scoring total. 171 00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:29.839 The total in this game is over two hundred and 172 00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:32.960 thirty total points between both teams, so it's supposed to 173 00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:36.120 be a high scoring affair. I think Indiana will be 174 00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:38.720 able to still keep up to a certain pace. I 175 00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:41.000 think once it gets present, I think late in the 176 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:42.120 late mid third quarter. 177 00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:44.519 Okay see, you'll start taking off of them. The only 178 00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:45.000 reason why I. 179 00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:47.679 Say this because the Pacers do have evenly distributed scoring, 180 00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:50.399 which gives them a better chance than other teams. So 181 00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:52.799 they can't just key in on one person, any person 182 00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:55.159 in their starting lineup to give them twenty five to 183 00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:56.440 thirty points. And we've seen it. 184 00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:58.440 Everybody on the team has won for that one night. 185 00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:00.600 But they just had that superstar night. So that is 186 00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:03.679 the only difficult thing about guarding the Pacers. But obviously 187 00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:06.600 we do know that it's Thunder are the number one 188 00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:10.159 defensive team and probably the number one offensive scoring team 189 00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:13.519 across the board between bench and starting five, so it's 190 00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:16.080 gonna be a tall task at hand obviously for the Pacers. 191 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:19.960 The only thing I hate to say is Andrew Neimhart 192 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:23.519 has played his part defensively obviously, guarding against Jalen Brunson, 193 00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:25.960 a couple other matchups that they've had in the playoffs. 194 00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:28.399 I'm just a little fifty to fifty when it comes 195 00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.480 to Tyres Halliburton's defensive ability. That's the only thing that 196 00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:35.639 I just I'm not sold on this defensivebility. 197 00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:37.559 He is gonna be a mismatch because I don't know 198 00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:39.639 if he's They're gonna put him on SGA. 199 00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:41.399 They're gonna put him. They probably gonnaut him on with 200 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:42.000 logan doors. 201 00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:44.320 They'll put him on logan doors just because he's their 202 00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:46.799 their weakest offensive threat. But at the same time, he 203 00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:51.039 is physical though you know he's he's sixty five twenty pounds. 204 00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:52.960 Absolutely, he's taking straight. 205 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:57.840 They're gonna make's gonna crash the board. 206 00:09:57.919 --> 00:09:59.519 He's gonna crash the boards on him hard. 207 00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:03.799 Yes, They're gonna make Haliburton to fit. So Anthony, look, 208 00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:07.639 this is what we've got, guys. We have got one 209 00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:12.279 of the Kentucky Greats National Championship.

One is going to be TDDA 293 00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:56.759 with Tony Basketball Academy that I've been running for eight 294 00:14:56.840 --> 00:15:00.639 years in Atlanta. We're going to do something with nor 295 00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:03.240 Children Hospital. You know, I always like to get back 296 00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:07.080 to the kids and mostly hospital because I have two 297 00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:10.159 daughters that have sickle cell disease. And our third charity 298 00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:15.960 would be the Atlanta Children's Hospital where my daughter's probably 299 00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:23.519 from as from maybe eight nine months. Have always gone there, 300 00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:25.279 you know, when they had to have when they had 301 00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:29.039 sickle cell crisis and just clen do blood work. So 302 00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:32.960 just one of those situations where I've always wanted to 303 00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:36.919 do something with Atlanta childon Hospital, which is actually like 304 00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:39.240 five minutes from where my daughters live now in Atlanta. 305 00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:43.279 But both are grown women doing well. My oldest twenty six, 306 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:46.519 she's working for law firm in New York, and my 307 00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:51.759 youngest she's at Xavier, Louisiana. And then my mother daughter 308 00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:54.200 he Revers Oklahoma. So all the girls are doing well. 309 00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:56.879 But just you know, so many kids come through those 310 00:15:56.960 --> 00:15:59.679 hospitals that we don't know about and deal with the 311 00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:02.240 trial and triviulations. So we just want to help them 312 00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:05.840 have the cause. And also with about basketball academy, you 313 00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:09.080 know some kids that can't afford it. Mike has done 314 00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:12.480 a tremendous job over the years. I'm just always donating 315 00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:19.480 whenever I've called, you know, uniforms afforded, so has always 316 00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:22.200 been uh, you know, just one of those people that 317 00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:25.039 you know, cares about the community, cares about kids. So 318 00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:27.840 Mike has always been there. So you know, we just 319 00:16:28.279 --> 00:16:31.120 decided last year actually a summer league. You know, let's 320 00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:33.519 put something together and see if we can invite the 321 00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:36.159 former UK players U of ailed players, which I'm hoping 322 00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:39.039 we can get some more you availed players. So I'm 323 00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:41.639 going to put that on your on your plate to 324 00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:43.320 help us bring in more. 325 00:16:43.320 --> 00:16:46.399 A little bit challenge out. Okay, now we'll do that, Mike. 326 00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:49.639 You speak a little bit about of course, you know 327 00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:53.840 that I named the Simmons College Golf outing after his dad, Tony. 328 00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:56.399 You don't know that, but I've named it after her Vine. 329 00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:00.200 Herb and I used to talk about business things, where 330 00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:03.279 to put my money? How this is the truth. I 331 00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:07.319 bought my new my first new SOB from Herb nineteen 332 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:11.440 eighty three. A car service wrecks it driving it from 333 00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:14.720 Salt Lake to Louisville. True story, Tony, true story. Wow, 334 00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:19.400 they wreck it, okay and almost totally, and I run 335 00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:21.440 back in to buy me another new one. You know, 336 00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:23.519 I just got a new contract. And Herb pulled me 337 00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:26.200 in his little office off of Shelbyboro, Road and it 338 00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:28.559 was only Bluegrass and Lincoln Mercury and he had the 339 00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:30.920 little SOB sitting on the side. He says, you like 340 00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:32.920 the car by I said, I do. I love cars. 341 00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:35.279 He says, well, we're going to change your mindset. That's 342 00:17:35.319 --> 00:17:37.640 who Herb was. He says, no more new cars. He says, 343 00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:39.079 I'm going to tell you what and how we're going 344 00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:41.920 to do this. And Herb had me the minority program. 345 00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:44.440 If I wouldn't have got into coaching, you'd have been 346 00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:46.240 calling me in the car business because that's what I 347 00:17:46.319 --> 00:17:48.839 wanted to do. So it's just been part of the 348 00:17:49.160 --> 00:17:51.519 Buying family for a long time. And then Mike just 349 00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:53.759 stepped in right after that. He and Jim Haynes are 350 00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:56.799 just the best. But Mike, you know you've done always 351 00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:00.680 given so why, I mean, just what make you this way? 352 00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:03.160 Every player knows you. You've given me all the context. 353 00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:06.240 Why did you get so involved in sports business and 354 00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:06.880 helping Mike? 355 00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:13.759 I would say, primarily because you know, growing up, basketball 356 00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:18.519 was was the thing to me and I was I 357 00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:24.720 enjoyed it so much. And uh and and fortunately all 358 00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:27.799 these great people that played at the UK and U 359 00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:31.359 of L grew up when I was growing up, and 360 00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:35.839 it meant a lot to me. And you know, there's 361 00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:39.599 not a there's not a better avenue out there, uh 362 00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:44.559 than sports to uh keep you, keep you into the 363 00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:48.799 game and keep you focused.
