00:00a topic that i discussed with david separate of you see him right over there do you see that man
00:06in a shacket yeah he plays into this i think i think i can land the plane and tie in
00:13what we're
00:13witnessing with kenny so here's my question okay so kentucky derby is this weekend kentucky oaks
00:24day today and i always laugh is like people you don't hear from a lot they'll be sure to bother
00:32you this week with who you got who you like and my response is generally like i want to write
00:38back
00:38f you like oh now you care like here's what i don't understand i'm watching nba playoff basketball
00:45every commercial's kentucky derby every commercial you have shows this week who will have on guests
00:53that they'll lose their number for an entire year and i always laugh because the biggest misnomer
00:58about horse racing is that the kentucky derby is the only big thing or even that it's the biggest
01:05thing i don't believe it is anymore but it's just this idea rico when you're when you're talking about
01:12it why is it that people are interested now look the race is going to do massive numbers okay it's
01:23going to have massive reach it's a massive event it's a huge betting you know spectacle
01:31what holds people back because here's my thing any people i've introduced to the sport
01:36whether i've taken them to a track or there's our man in the shacket do you realize i essentially
01:44walked in on kenny cot in a jason biggs apple pie moment today and no kenny's penis wasn't out
01:52i walked in to kenny betting on every track in america and not in a harmful way he's playing
02:01on a very low level he's enjoying himself and unlike brendan shabath i'm not here to judge him
02:06i'm sorry what
02:10you yeah okay the point i'd like to make is this um kenny's hooked like kenny loves this now
02:19and he's into it like he wants to learn and he genuinely finds it interesting so my question is
02:24this like what is it that holds you back like why do you care this week about the kentucky derby
02:31but yet you don't process that there's a huge race or races every week that the kentucky derby
02:39is really the culmination of about six months of races at the end of their two-year-old season
02:47in the beginning of your three-year-old it's like the detroit lions you have to win playoff games to
02:51get to the super bowl you have to win races to get to the derby so i i just it's
02:57interesting to me
02:58because i got those texts today and i'm like here we go again and then i walked into kenny and
03:04again
03:04he essentially was humping an apple pie right i log out kenny i gave you your churchill down stuff i
03:13need you to log out yeah you know what holds everybody back is the fact that um it's a fun
03:20event it's something you really don't need to know anything about to win and it's not the slander
03:26horse racing mike the same goes for the ncaa tournament how many times you see your bracket
03:32won by someone who's not watched a game all year but they just picked the favorite colors or the teams
03:38or my kid applied to college there and that's why i picked it it's a fun event and for this
03:45week
03:45only you don't need to know a lot about horse racing because it's complicated it's it like
03:53i listen to you you know the different types of bets you rifle off and it's just like okay i'm
03:58not
03:58really comfortable with that because i don't understand it but i do understand win race or i do
04:03understand win place or show whereas you're like with the trifecta and the exacta and the doubles
04:09and it's like it's like a person betting you know and something that they don't know about it's almost
04:15like the first time i learned how to play craps a good dude was like just play it safe bet
04:20a couple
04:20things don't right do what i do and you'll be okay and you'll learn the game yeah it's always just
04:25struck me it's weird it's because this week you don't need to know anything now you could be the
04:31master of horse racing like you are no or you could just be some idiot like me and you could
04:36make money and you could do whatever well kenny is i'm gonna say an idiot like kenny but well he
04:43wins so and he's like well it's not bad if you win right yeah it's not great that you're doing
04:49as
04:49much as you're doing i mean kenny these are dog races now well i picked the right greyhound do you
04:55remember the part about kenny with the apple pie yeah that's he and i caught him i walked in and
05:01i
05:01go and all i saw on the screen was laurel park i go what the f are you doing and
05:08then he's like
05:08minimizing windows left and right and i'm like kenny kenny i bet a harness race today oh my god
05:15wait i need you to log out but let's just tell the whole story kenny
05:21mike you know how bad it is what i bet one of those races where they have the little carriage
05:26in the basket on the back of the horse mike's like that's called harness racing kenny and i
05:31that and i need you to log out and i got the little carriage in the little basket on the
05:37back of the
05:38horses and i need you to log out but i won though that's the i think we're missing that part
05:44yeah i
05:45don't think that's the relevant part of the conversation but okay no i wanted to ask the
05:50question because look i i understand i well actually i don't understand it like all of the
05:57crap that's on television starting with the wnba which is absolute garbage it is a garbage product
06:05you want to tell me that that's popular and horse racing can't be ridiculous second of all
06:11horse racing is meant to be bet on it was the nfl before the nfl the nfl was designed to
06:19be bet on
06:20because back in the day i want to hearken keep our streak together right it was only played on sundays
06:26everybody was home it was once a week really didn't i know it's crazy before monday night football
06:33actually probably dressed up to go to the races too no way so i i like the idea that some
06:39of this
06:40other dreck is popular and horse racing isn't i don't understand it and there's a mental block
06:47with people because then my life is filled with people like rico pretending to be sincere while
06:53asking highly insulting questions such as can i ride the horse do they wear air jordans do they wear
06:59snowshoes can i put a diamond necklace like justin jefferson on a horse i mean really no but really
07:06nay bands hold on but david who's winning the uh little horse racing thing we've been doing all
07:12nay bands because i actually ask questions to learn about the horse i'll say you're 50 50 you always
07:21have a little twinkle in your eye when you ask certain because you know always have to hey mike oh
07:26hey mike that horse looks like rick james doesn't it no i thought they put chains on to run in
07:31snow
07:32okay evan like a russian sedan evan convinced me and evan looks so convincing in vegas he was like
07:39oh yeah they do it all the time they winterize their horses right like yeah that's a lot of
07:43tracks in new york do that i'm like really evan sold me okay i'll and that's why i'm like mike
07:50how come you never told me about that because it's not true
07:55so bad sounded good i want to ask the question because you're going you're going to watch the
08:00derby this weekend hell you might tune into the stuff today what you do realize this is 365 it's
08:07a sport with no chill there are events every every bit as big as this and yet yeah like tonight
08:16this is
08:17on nbc and the pistons are on amazon prime let me help you with that oh please do you want
08:22the answer
08:22now david do we have the time we have time and to hell with david and to hell with the
08:26network i
08:27want the answer you just said it there is no horse racing network mike we have to watch things on
08:34a
08:34laptop sometimes get information that's because churchill downs is stingy with their rights right
08:39i know we're going through a transition it's the same with the nhl and their cable access show
08:45it's unless you have it on a main network yeah that's when people can say oh and you can get
08:51the
08:51the sad thing is espn used to show the kentucky derby i'm i'm serious now again now nbc has the
08:57rights abc had the rights for a long time i'm talking about the rest of the time it's really
09:04interesting to me is like then people disappear for another 11 months and i'm like you're missing
09:10the best stuff well no you no no if the horse wins then it's what belmont is second preakness
09:16preakness and then everybody jumps into the preakness to see if you're going to see a triple crown
09:19and then people are interested in all the way to to the belmont and then maybe they come back later
09:26on for the uh the breeders cup but other than those four races and they just they vape out it's
09:32wild to
09:32me because it's it's not easy to find so if i can't find it well hold on let's be fair
09:37fox has made a
09:39huge investment in this so fox fs1 and fs2 the trio of networks it's on every day they're showing
09:47thousands of hours of horse racing every day now do i like that it bounces between fs1 and fs2 in
09:53the
09:53same given day no but i'll give an example like saratoga is my my home that's my place all summer
09:59every saturday and summer big fox big magic you're gonna have it on fox all afternoon
10:08they don't advertise it they do you know what but here's the thing i can watch a commercial in the
10:14wmba here here's caitlin clark oh did you see angel reese made her debut clang who watches that junk
10:23did jaylen durin tweet something out no but it's just interesting because anyone i introduced to it
10:31boy do they like it yet here we are it's fun but it's i i equated to the ncaa tournament
10:38where all
10:39of a sudden mike like you're i'll get people hey who should i pick in this game and what should
10:44i do
10:44and i'm like uh like you said you haven't heard from them since last march and okay well i i
10:51never
10:52trust gonzaga don't pick them don't pick them do that that's why because it's one of those things you
10:58can play around with and you don't really need to be really smart in order to win 248-539-9797
11:06i wanted to just ask the question we're gonna have some fun today yes we will do our our final
11:11day of
11:11the derby olympics uh trivia challenge we'll do our draft we're gonna talk pistons but can i be candid
11:18with you the listener what else is there to really say win and avoid being a fraud lose you are
11:26a fraud
11:26that's it sure we'll do the patented radio topic at three hey what are we talking about monday
11:32second round or how of cancun i i we've just we've said it all honestly keys to the game there
11:40is no key
11:41to the effing game just win well if danish jenkins has nine points they're gonna eff you just win
11:48how what else am i supposed to do i'm not gonna sit here and belabor the tigers bullpen on may
11:531st
11:54all right it's been an uneven start what am i gonna do panic they won less they're in the comedy
11:59central they'll be fine so i just no disrespect if you're tuning in and you're like i want pistons
12:05where do we've talked so much about it and we're to show before all the other ones who said i
12:11think
12:11they can come back from 3-1 here's how and why what about tobias in the ankle oh bibbity bobbity
