Now here's Matt Jones.
Welcome everyone, It is Kentucky Sports Radio. What a day here at the PGA Championship in Louisville, Kentucky. We're in three minutes and fifty five seconds. Scottie Scheffler, who has already been arrested this morning after a crazy incident here in front of Valhalla Golf Course, is about to tee off. You give Shanon Clark'suppe shop on line eight five nine two eight twenty two eighty seven. The a Vision Auto Glass text machine is seven seven two seven seven four five two five four In this distion sponsored by the TJ smith Lo Office. You call TJ, He'll make them pay. All right, let me explain the situation here a little bit. First of all, just for the show, Ryan had to go to a funeral this morning, so he is not here. Uh. He will be at the funeral of our former coworker his for many many years, Billy Williamson. So prayers to Ryan and Billy's family. Uh. Shannon was going to be here, but because of traffic after an absolutely terrible tragedy this morning. He is back at the studio. So it is just me and Drew here. Billy will probably be here in a minute. So let's update people. Believe you just wife, you just woke up. What an insane situation. I want to start with probably the thing that's the most important that I don't want to get lost, because it's going to get lost and that's unfortunate. But I do want to start with this. Unfortunately, there was an individual killed this morning who was hit by a shuttle in front of Ahalla Golf Course. It was a person who was coming here to work at one of the vendors for the golf tournament. A shuttle did not see them and hit them. It was apparently, you know, late early in the morning, darkness, awful situation, and they passed away. Our prayers go out to that individual their family. Just terrible. I mean, I can't imagine the sadness of everyone that knows the person. It's just absolutely awful. And you know, we have to acknowledge that first. But then what happens next is going to be a national story for all day, probably days to come, which is the Scottie Scheffler, I guess was coming to the course and ended up getting arrested for not following police officers orders. The charges that have now included second degree assault here in Louisville. He has already been released this morning on his own recognaissance. He is about to tee off in a minute and a half. We're sitting here watching it on the big screen. He has already been represented by Steve Romines, former KSR, multiple time guest and Hate Kentucky co host, is now Scottie Scheffler's lawyer. And that's the infro. Everything else will be up to interpretation. But Drew, if you're talking about a wild day, it's only ten o'clock this morning, and all of that happened crazy.
I want to join you and start with the thoughts and prayers for the vendor who tragically died and their family and friends with that loss. But the chaos around this scene here, it's hard to not just be It's everywhere. I mean, I'm on my shuttle bus and there's ten different conversations all about the same thing. There's most of the news seems to be out now, the details and things coming out. I've only been here in this building fifteen minutes. I've been driving in the rain, so I'm trying to stay off my phone, and I'm kind of taking this all in as it's coming. But it's just it's so hard to imagine the world number one golfer and maybe the most nicest person on tour like he's he's just so boring.
I wouldn't saying that the nicest part, but.
I know, let me fit like it's he's the most boring human. You're seeing a mugshot of that's I'm just saying the image of that. I mean, he's just a boring guy. He went to jail this morning before he teed off.
I believe he's nice. I'm sure that's true. I mean I don't know him, but I'm sure that's true. But you know, this is going this is very complicated. In my opinion, I think where we're going to end up is somewhere different than we are now, whatever that is. But because you know, in the first moments after things happened, but you're exactly right, the craziness.
Of this and like, of all the golfers about half the field, if you told me there's a mug shot to wake up to, I'm like, okay, but number one in the world is Scotty Shuffler is the one that is involved in this?
Shannon. Yes, they're never gonna have this here again. Probably, well, I mean I think we're probably and this is probably the last time we'll see I mean, because this is good. I mean, this is I got a New York Times alert this morning. They only send that alert about like worldwide news. I mean shit, And this is crazy for this city right.
Now, absolutely crazy. I want to join the two of you in saying prayers to the family of the person who passed away. That's a terrible, tragic event that happened this morning. But you know, if you read the report from Jeff Darlington from a ESPN, who was there to witness the whole thing firsthand. I can't help but think that that situation could have been avoided.
It could have been I think that's probably fair. Here's I mean, and Millie's here too, Emily, I'll let you come in on this is my take. Acknowledging that we don't have all the information. I think that's very important to say, because whatever people's opinion is, usually what we hear first is not the only part of it. Right. Sounds like it, I think Shannon hits It sounds like it's a situation that probably could have been avoid It's a situation where probably so Scheffler says, and Jeff Darlington it seems like Jeff Darlington saw the second part of it. He saw after the police officer came. But Scheffler says there was a misunderstanding. One officer told him to go, one officer told him to stay. I totally can believe that that's happened to probably all of us, where two or three people are telling you what to do. It's dark, we're trying to navigate a huge dark it's raining, there's been a car accident. The police are probably on high worry because they've just had a car accident where somebody passed away. Again, it's dark, it's raining, he's confused. One officer says go, one officer says stay. When the officer says stay, sees you going in anoising, right, because he's telling you one thing and you're not doing it, so that a noise. He probably gets angry. Sometimes when people get angry, they can go too far. Then he reaches into the car. Scheffler acknowledges maybe he actually kept going a little bit accidentally. The officer can think, are you not listening to me? And now you're d You know, Billy, I can see how it could happen, to be honest with you, now, how it goes from there to getting arrested and booked a second degree assault is something we'll probably figure out over the next line.
Right, And it's you know, the truth is somewhere in the middle. I'm sure it's rarely black and white. But we use the word surreal several times on the pre show.
That's what this is.
I mean for this to all happen in a matter of five minutes, and then for them to take him downtown, put him in the orange jumpsuit.
Okay, so that look, let me start with that. In Lexington on something like that, they don't usually get put in the orange jumpsuit. Did they get putt in the orange jumpsuit in Louisville?
No?
Usually you get just booked in what you were.
Wearing, right, Yeah, I don't know. Anybody ever been arrested on the show.
Not me, No, out of us can the orange jumpsuit is like something you usually Again, maybe I'm not. I don't know. Maybe somebody can tell me, but the orange jumpsuit? Does that happen when you're in jail for less than an hour?
I've been known to freak with the Lexing and Jail website. Just check on. Yeah, it's not everyone.
So that's weird to me. I'm gonna be honest with you. How do you How do you end up in the orange jumpsuit? Because that's gonna be a picture for all time that will fall tomorrow, there will be people wearing that picture on a T shirt. No, there will, I guarantee you.
I saw that and didn't believe it.
I believe it. The first one I saw I thought they're kidding. So so that is and then I don't all right, this is the part I'm gonna need the police to explain to me. I'm gonna give the police the benefit of the day because it's got to be a hard job. I always do this, and it makes my liberal friends mad most of the time. Sometimes it makes my conservative friend. I usually give the policeman of the job doubt. That's a hard job. With that said, police are human beings. They can have tempers, right, they can have tempers. But I do need to know this, Drew. If you're gonna charge a person with second degree assault assaulting an officer, which is a felony, Okay, that is a felony, That is a go to prison felton as a big charge, how do you let him out an hour later? If you if you, if you believe he has that level of charge, how's he get out an hour late? Because those two things are not consistent to me. Either that charge is way too much and you let him out because you're like this shouldn't have happened.
Or b.
How do you let like he clearly got preferential treatment. They ain't letting you out, billy, if you got charged with assaulting a police.
Officer, if governor but sheer called or the mayor.
Okay, but all right, so let's talk. So I've seen people say why don't and the mayor get involved? I would argue they shouldn't get involved. Why would the mayor or governor if the mayor governor got involved. I think that'd be a mistake. You do, yes, you, they wouldn't get involved if you got arrested.
No, but this is the number one golfer in the world. But but but when it comes but when it.
Comes to law, all people should be equal, right, Yeah, So this idea, let me put it like this. If you found out that the mayor governor called to get their friend out, would that bothery you? Yeah? So why would you want them to call and get someone else out.
Of special circumstances?
What's the special circumstances?
Teas off in two hours, off hours, number one golfer in the world. You cannot ignore the fact that this man.
Billy, that's fine, that's fine. But what you act like, wow last night, you act like the world will stop listen. I think he probably shouldn't have been arrest from what I see. Let me be clear. But the idea that that that the governor or or mayor and again I like those two people. But I've criticized the governor, especially a number of times, the idea that they should intervene in a local police thing and say, let this guy out so he can make his tea time.
Hey, it's enough if he acts.
What if he and then what if you find out that Scheffler had done something wrong and then you found out the governor intervened to get him out. That's even worse exactly, which is why they should stay out of it, especially the governor the mayor. They're the head of the police. You know, there's some argument there the governor if the if phone call came the governor, even if Scheffler is up one hundred percent in anyocent, I'll criticize that governor should not be getting involved in local law enforcement. Do you Does anybody disagree with me on them?
So how quickly can it be dropped? Like how quickly can you.
Feel drop could have been dropped? It could be dropped something that can, But will it happen? Like as soon as you arrested guy can here's the thing? Like this officer's name is gonna come out. It's okay. Well, before you say, I don't want to say the wrong one. No, I'm not gonna say. I'm just the officer's name could come out. If you drop it today, you're essentially acknowledging your officer really screwed up. So I don't know what will happen. Romans is the law.
You're shannon, Ah, Yeah, represents all the big celebrities.
Ros is the law, Jerry, I get the sense you disagree with me.
You.
I get the sense you think that the mayor, governor, president, whatever should have interfered to get him here for his tea time.
Well, I'm just you know, I don't think anybody is above the law. Let me be clear, I think you know the law should be represented equally to everybody. But if the mayor aware that this is a situation that escalated and the charges might be dropped later, but what.
If they're not. What if it comes out again? I'm gonna assume you're right, but you have to remember, if you're making this decision, you got to consider all sides. Sure, what if it comes out that he did do something wrong and you intervened to get him out before you.
Knew that, It's even a worse look for you.
Exactly that's why he can't get in Mold.
Yeah, it's just a black eye for the city.
He is definitely a black eye and it stinks. It stinks for the city and stinks for the city. It stinks for Volve, it stinks I it stinks.
For Scheffler too, stinks for Scheffler.
Who's now teed off and is out there playing.
You're talking about giving treatment because he's the number one in the world. I mean, John Daily shot eighty two yesterday. If he had done the same thing, that's exactly right. Let him out because he has a tea time. He's not gonna win it.
That's exactly right. Do you let out the club pro that qualified from this turnment for this tournament from Oklahoma?
No, they wouldn't.
No, you would not referential treatment.
So that's why, even though I think ultimately this will be a bad look for the Louisville PD, probably in the end we don't know that, but probably you can't give it. I mean, you can't give the dude preference so he can make his tea time. It's not like so he can make I mean, this is important, but it's golf.
And it can move on without him. There are several other people.
Yes, and the PGA has ways to let him play later. They actually have provisions where.
You know, yeah, I mean it's not the end. I'll be off if he misses his tea time. But you know, maybe they realized that it escalated to a point where it shouldn't have been. But that's just what if at this point, right, Yeah.
We don't know.
Some other stuff like a couple other golfers walked a mile and a half with their clothes. Did you see that?
That's what was alatour's. Well, you remember we said this yesterday. Remember what I said yesterday. That's a horrible entrance. It is you have to turn like and this is actually tragic. It's not funny, unfortunately, but that's a horrible entrance. And I'm not sure there's any other way you could do it. I looked at it coming in, but you have to turn left against traffic, and that's that's not good on a major thing. You have to turn left against traffic. And I thought that yesterday pulling up this is not a good way to get in here. But I'm not sure if there's another way you could do it. Unfortunately, I don't.
Think it's gonna matter after Sunday. This also doesn't seem to be a lot of great walkways over there where people are still walking too.
Damn. All right, Scheffler's about to hit his third shot. We'll keep you track. If I'm nine eight twenty two eighty seven, what do you think I've got a text into rowmand shehand and I'm trying to get him on the show. It might be the first show to get him on. We'll see. We'll take a break right back, Kase. You know, everybody can say all they want, Shannon that like, give us the recruiting scoop text machine is probably as active as it's been since the day we were trying to figure out if cal left. Yeah, I mean this is because it's just the kind of thing that like, you don't you don't care, have to care about golf.
Everybody's going to care about this.
Everybody's gonna have an opinion. They should, all right, Billy, I want you. You asked me a couple things during the break that I think are really good points that I want you to ask again.
Well, you know, how would we have figured out that Scottie Shuffer was arrested if Jeff Darlington wasn't there to get out of his car.
We wouldn't have. And that's what makes over the years you've probably heard me say about a variety of different issues that things are hard, right, they're not cut and dry. If Jeff Darlington's not there to give what happened after the cop was there, we don't. He wasn't there when it happened. All we would have heard is a statement from the NPD saying he was arrested with the officer side of the story. And that's what happens in ninety nine point nine percent of arrest in a mean and it's just something to remember. Jeff Darlington ain't falling around the average person, right, you know. Now, with that said, Jeff Darlington's report got out first. You owe the officer as well the respect to see what happened. You owe that to people, You owe them to get both sides. That's why it is so important to where these laws that require body cams. Why is that important? Well, people have often there have been people who are like, don't want to do it because they're worried it'll implicate officers. It can also help officers. Right now, the public seems to be on Scheffler's side. Right, Because, like Drew said, it seems like a nice guy, seems like a weird situation. But what if there's a body cam that shows something different, right, that might be what helps the officer in the end.
Camera's never gonna lie for the most part, I should say, but most times you're gonna get.
But that's that's why it's so important we require officers to wear body cares because it can tell us what happened because Jeff, like you said, believe Jeff Darlington ain't always there.
Yeah, he was Johnny on the spot, I mean, and that not only that, this has just become such a national story.
You remember Jeff Darlington's guy Shannon who can spin stuff on his fingers.
Oh yeah, that's right, that name.
He can spin.
Anything, chairs, computers, anything you have. He can spin like a basketball. And I was listening to him on the radio on my drive.
He popped on ESPN and he said, they're watching Unfold and everyone in the car has no clue at Scotty Shuffler. And then someone's like, that's Scotty. So they're just seeing this random who they think is.
Well, you saw it in the video. Darlington runs up to him trying.
To stop the cop and Scott He's like, please help me, Scott, he says, help me, and then the cop comes up to But again, if you don't.
If the cop doesn't know who Jeff Darlington is, you know Scotty was Scotty in that gay? Yeah? I mean, like I'd say, in lots of situations, somebody's getting arrested and then somebody's running up going stop, right, you and I know who Scotty Scheffler is, Shannon before today? Would you have recognized Scotty Scheffler on the street, That's what I'm saying, a lot of officers wouldn't know who he is. Right, it's not Tiger Woods. So if you're like that officer says who is that? They didn't know? Right?
And you know, I'm not excusing the guy dragging a police officer.
Techi and we don't know that he did that, just according to Jeff's Well, but.
Jeff Darlington, though be clear, didn't say he dragged him. Jeff Darlington just Jeff donton saw what happened after the confrontation. Am I wrong? I don't think he saw.
He said he was attached to the car. He didn't say the word dragged, but he said.
We don't know what that means and opened the door. Okay, but we don't know what he said to him before that.
You know, I'm just repeating what Jeff Darling has put out there. So it is wild that Jeff Darlington in a truck of ESPN people just happened to be right by.
One of which was my twin. Did you see that, Dave Fleming? See, I was in multiple places at once. You made a good point, Drew about the vest. So if people are here, the security has on the same vest the cops did.
The high school kid parking cars could be looking exactly like a police officer at that time of day.
So when Scheffler says he didn't know it was a it was a cop, I can totally believe that, right because because you could totally think that the guy parking the car is the same as the police officer.
My understanding from hearing his interviews several Darnks has been a few things, and players had permission in their vehicles to go a certain way, and some of them even said we took the same path Scheffler did with no problem. So I guess in Scheffler's money he thought he was doing the right thing. Maybe this person the vest he doesn't realize his cop He thinks, well, this person doesn't know the message. I'm just gonna go to the next checkpoint and they'll let me throw.
A police say he crossed a media. No, I'm not saying that's correct, but you also, you know, I think what often happens. This is I think a really good test to think about what happens in other situations. Our natural inclination, Billy, wouldn't you agree, is to usually believe the police. Yeah, right, usually believe the police, certainly mine, it's probably most people's. When the stories are different, most people generally believe the police. Right, here's a case where the stories between the police and Scotty Scheffler might be different. Is your natural inclination to believe Scotty? It probably is if you're being honest. And I'm just saying, just always keep in mind in these situations that because again, now the police may change their story when they see the body cam, at which point Scotty may be vindicated. But the first report from the police says he crossed the median. Well, Scott, he said he did. Who do you believe it's in part depending on what you think is right.
And that's why we shouldn't rush to judgment.
But we always do. Everyone, Yeah, everyone always rushes to judgment. And this is a perfect example where it seems like the general public is initially not believing the police. Where is the general public initially usually believes the police. And I just think it's good to keep that in mind for all these situations.
And it's very unique traffics. It's not like there's set laws there. I mean, they're trying to get people around. It's a very unique situation on that road right there, that it is, so you'd have to see. Body probably wouldn't do that on a Friday afternoon in traffic just normally. You know, they're they're doing weird things to get around it, to get people in.
You'd have to see it to see. First of all, it was set up, unfortunately for something bad to happen.
There was a wreck yesterday.
There was a wreck yesterday in the exact same spot. So all right, we'll take a break. Take your calls right for this. T J. Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ.
He'll make them pay now.
More of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Here's not Jones.
Welcome back. All right, I'm gonna get take your calls real quick. A couple of things. On text petition Sheen, one person writes, Matt, does the crowd now cheer for Scotty all weekend?
Yes, he's gonna have a huge following, a huge following.
Wait till tomorrow. I'm gonna be here tomorrow with Hovey. Wait till tomorrow. There'll be those orange jumpsuits. My biggest question for the police party is why is he in that orange jumpsuit? I mean that like that. I don't think that's normal. Maybe I'm wrong. I'm glad to be told I'm wrong, but I don't think that's normal.
I saw he was arrested in his Nike Polo. Is their scenario where you'd be like, I don't.
Want this nice.
Barry posts because he was wearing what he's golfing in today, Very possible.
Ry. I think it's also important to remember and then I'll we'll go to some calls in the context of whatever happened. Okay, whatever the officer did, whatever he did, It's also important to remember the police doing a death investigation. Yeah, right mere feet from where he is. There is an investigation over a death. So everybody's probably on pins and meetings right, chanting, you know what I mean, Like everybody's probably trying to you know, you have to take that ultra serious.
Yeah, this isn'n a fender bender. It's much more serious in the situation exactly.
And so Drew, like where you said some other players had gone around, the situation might have changed from when others players had gone around. There might now be, you know, an investigation going on. It's a little different than when the other I don't know. I mean again, I wasn't there, but.
Yeah, and Schiffler didn't know what had happened in that circumstance. I don't know how if his behavior would have changed, but he he said in his third day he didn't know what happened, thought he. I don't think he said this specifically, but it could have been in his brain. This is just bad traffic and I have to get there.
That's another great point again on the Scotti side. He didn't know there's a death. He made you be like, will you let me? Of course I've been there.
A sense of entitlement for a golfer people trying to block Listen, I've.
Been there before, like there's a show coming, please just let me through. There's people there waiting to hear me. So and if you don't know, and then you hear it to death and you go, oh, I didn't know that, you know what I mean?
Yeah, And that it plays a part to why they were so tense maybe and unlike you said, it certainly.
Plays to why the police because the police probably know there's a death, certainly.
Do right, But do they know that PGA has told the Valhalla golfers that they can enter the golf.
Oh no, maybe not it. See, that's what I'm saying. Like you, we've asked fifteen questions that are very important before you decide quote unquote who's at fault? So, all right, who's up first?
All right, let's go to Blake.
Blake, Go ahead, Blake.
Hey, guys, tragic events today Valhalla, black Eye for the whole state and everything.
As far as like Scottie you know in the in the orange jumpsuit.
Usually that's like a.
Solitary confinement kind of thing.
And most of the time and most like jails, they'll do booking and pictures before they put you in that.
But I looked on the Louisville.
Ventro website to kind of look at other inmates, and they all seem to have that orange jumpsuit.
That's just well, maybe it's just a man. Maybe they just do that. Yeah, it might just be a Louisville thing. And as far as it's a Louisville thing, we always put you in the orange. Yeah, I don't think they do that in Lexington, so you may be right, they don't.
They don't do that Leson or other jail.
So it might just be that.
But uh, and then as far as like you know, him having two cops tell them two different things.
You know, there's other.
Players too that have tweeted and said some stuff that they were allowing. All the PJ guys got a notification that they were allowed to go past that. So I don't I think it just was a miscommunication and like feelings got hurt. And the thing about the charges is that, like you know, they'll they just try to send you with as many charges as they can.
Yeah, they can drop those, right, You're exactly right like that, and they can drop those. So I do think, you know, maybe they all get dropped, but some of them like they can drop those, So you're exactly right. The charges are are flexible, and I appreciate the call. I'd be surprised if anyone involved had bad intentions. I agree with that, right, Do you agree with that? Yeah?
I mean on on the police officer's end, as we just said, there's a death investigation just starting, so everyone's on high alert, not expecting, not what they expected to do with that moment. Scotty is unaware of what's happening in thinking I'm.
Supposed to be in this tournament.
I am already late, you know, I think I can go this way. I'm in an official PGA car. I should be able to do this. So I think on both sides, just me guessing from my seat, that they're both just thinking they're doing what's right in that situation.
Yeah. And then if you did quote unquote dragged, I mean, I don't know how many officers you know, but there ain't gonna be too many who are like that's cool, thrilled.
Yeah, oh you're bad, It's okay.
If it's really dragging, that will need to get settled because you don't actually the two people thinking that in the right, well, he said in.
His statement, co cop reached in. He was trying to park, couldn't park.
That's where the body cam we need to see. That's why we need to see the body cam.
Right yeah.
But for my guy to go out there and birdie the first hole right after, I mean it didn't FaZe him.
What if he wins? I mean, if he wins, is that not one of the craziest stories of all times?
I think rivals Tiger Woods and the Masters in twenty nineteen. I mean, I can't think of another better moment in golf.
I think this is It's more likely he already thought he was gonna come back even after what Xander did. Now I think he's gonna be a man possessed out there for three days and we hold out on the first hole he's.
Got Okay, now look at this. He's got a little knee knocker here for par on the on whole two. This we'll say where his mind is right here, Billy.
Okay, Well, he can't pick it up, so he actually has.
This is definitely a putt I would pick up. This is the exact range.
This man was in a jail cell an hour and a half.
This is the exact range that has kept me from being good at golf. And I would pick up right here Scheffler for par Let's see if he makes it.
I said, man possessed. I forgot he didn't get his hour on the punning green.
That's exactly right.
Wonder you know, it's such such a mental game, the game of golf, Like, where is his head going to be?
How can he be focused on winning a.
Hard I mean you, this can't be how he saw his morning going.
Just from a golf perspective. He's learning what the rest of us do when we rush to our tea times practice wing while you're tying your shoes.
I've never hit one range ball before. I mean, you just go out there, because he did.
Welcome to golf, Scottie.
There you go. Well this is a real golf Okay. So I think about this sometimes. Imagine he got up this morning, how he thought his morning was gonna go. Sure, an he little breakfast, he could get out to the golf course.
His first trip as a dad, he had a baby.
Check check, my wife and baby go out to hit the range. But and then all of a sudden, he's riding in the back of a police car to Louisville Metro jail and he's probably like, wait a minute, and it's not even eight o'clock yet he's four o'clock. Unbelievable. Who's next. Let's go to Bob, Bob, go ahead, Bob.
Good morning, jas S. I'm sure Scotti is not a stranger citters on the road he's going in. But when there is a guest on the road, doesn't he have to stay there until a corner comes?
And no, not necessarily, I mean they you know, unless he was a witness, but like he he I don't think he was. So, you know, like when you're on the interstate sometimes Bob.
No, no, no, the body has to remain there until the coroner comes.
Well that may be true, but that doesn't mean he has to remain there. I don't know.
So that would hold, that would hold traffic?
Could that's it's could. You're exactly right.
I'm if he had a marked carr why wasn't he allowed to go ahead to the end?
We don't know, Bob, regardless of I mean, we don't know. Maybe because they were doing a death investigation, you know, I mean.
Does the authority exceed the ability there?
What do you mean, does the authority exceed the ability? What does that mean?
He had authority to stop people, but he didn't have the ability to handle the situation.
Well, that may be true.
He may that.
I appreciate the call. It may be true. You know, sometimes we give sometimes we don't appreciate how hard a job it would be to be a cop. But sometimes we give them paranormal powers where we forget that they're actually human beings. Who Shannon can have a temper? Yeah, who can overreact?
Yeah?
They're all humans.
So I can understand that situation, tempers already being high, and you know a lot of people dealing with that situation probably agitate it. And then imagine you get dragged ten yards in that situation.
Yes, you got to react, Turkey Hunter said, Ryan putted for prison, Scotty prison, then putt it.
I'd like to see it.
Who's next?
Let's go to Sean.
Sean, go ahead, Sean.
Hey guess I just wanted to give you my maybe unique take. I hauled about fifteen truckloads of equipment in for that PGA championship. The biggest problem I solve over there is they've had that championship multiple times and they still don't have a good plan for getting equipment and or people in and out there.
It's terror. It's a terrible till.
Yeah, you had the city could have done better job with traffic. They could have brought in like the construction lights or just put us a light itself to control the flow of traffic out there, because that is way too fast in that area for that. You know, I saw better traffic control for an eclipse than for the PGA change.
And it's probably the case that like when when I've come in both days, they have a pretty good flow. But it is probably the case it's when that bus hit the thing at five thirty or five forty, it might not be as controlled yet. To be honest with you, certain the city.
The city's done this multiple times now and Shelbyville Road in that area needs to slow that traffic down because it's too much traffic for the area. That was my first point. My second point is is l mp LMPD does have a history. Yes, they do it being heavy handed, and you don't get scorned by the doj H for always handling high stressed situation as well. So you know, when I was listening to the radio, this morning. I guess it was Jerry EA's that they must have hit some of the ESPN guys there, and they said that cop actually jumped onto the car. Could be Yeah, if IO thirty in the morning, if you jump on to my car, I don't know. If I'm wanting to casually pull over, I may pull over, you know, a few yards. So that was my take.
That's a fair point. There are all fair points. I appreciate the call. I think that's you know again, I think those are very reasonable points. I don't think I can think of a major event where the entrance is worse than it is here. The fact that you have to I cannot believe you have to turn left against traffic. Yeah, that's pretty bad. And it's raining, it's dark. All those play a factor into this situation. The turning left against traffic, though, I mean, like that was Remember that was the problem that the NASCAR race many years.
Ago, what's that the Kentucky Speedway.
Yeah's large Seedway when they the largest tra affic jam ever. When they went back and looked, it was the fact that you had to turn left against traffic to get into the parking lots. That that was ultimately what was the cause of it.
I haven't seen both sides of the entrance, but the way I came in, whether people were paying to parking yards and there's not a good place to walk either.
Traffic and then you got people walking on the sides of the road, and the caller's right, Shelbyville Road right there. People can pick up speed. Now, it's hard to do it now because you can't so much traffic, but on a regular day that can be a lot.

Let me read a couple of comments, and I want to tell you a quick story. One person writes, Matt, of course you would take up for andymashear he should have been on the phone, like Billy said, trying to make this work. This makes our state look bad. I'm adamant about this. Andy Masheer should have had nothing to do once he was arrested. Governor does not get involved, and when they do that needs to be like what needs to be almost never.
Yeah, I mean you can't have him getting involved with everybody getting arrested, you know, no, And you can't have the governor choosing who's important enough for him to get involved with.
That's a good way, and I'm sure there are governors that do this. Maybe he has someone I don't know, but no, you can't do that. Now the mayor's a little different because the police are under him. But most people don't want the mayor involved in the day to day law enforcement, do you, because people will say, correctly, what does the mayor know about being a police officer? I know the police definitely don't want the moneyers involved. Now the mayor's a little different. I can see an argument for the mayor going, Okay, what are we doing here, let's organize this, But the governor to me, you know, even maybe the attorney general maybe, but the governor.
You just not the Louisville sheriff from Twitter.
Yeah, oh you mean u L Martin Blank and Baker. One thing, he definitely should have been involved. He's the sheriff of Louisville.
For one. Thing I keep saying is people talking about how significant the tournament is to Kentucky. That's why she just stepped in. But we can still have the urnam about Scotty. He's number one and all of him and he's probably gonna win it. But this event could go on without any one golfer. So that's why I don't think you give him too much special treatment. Here, I will tell you I was very Shannon. I was very careful. Okay, Yeah, So I pull up to the bus. They tell me we're leaving in one minute. Turns out we left twenty minutes later, but I didn't know.
I still was in flip flops. Flip flops because my shoes I left in the car because it's wet. I wanted to wear grungy shoes. So long story short, I needed to put my shoes on, so I like nearly fall out of my shoes. I go running to the bus. Forgot my press cottage.
Oh no, kind of important.
So now when we pull up there and I realize I don't have it, I'm like, I bet everybody's on high alert. Maybe so after the morning, so I called our contact and if she hadn't answered, I'd probably still be standing out there.
So that's how you got in, Lindsay helping you out.
Yeah, if it wasn't for her, I might not got adding in at all, because I definitely wasn't gonna do after what happened there weren't gonna be any like trying to sneak in or anything like that. I was like, I'll stand out here as long as I as I need to.
Definitely couldn't pull the Do you know who I am?
And that yeah, exactly one person rights, Matt. Do you think this ends major events in Kentucky? I don't know that the PGA was ever coming back here anyway. We got to remember the PGA. The reason that started being at Valhalla Drew is because the PGA owned this course, so it didn't cost him any money to have it, and they set they built this course four major tournaments. Well, PGA sold it two years ago, so I think this was the last one regardless. But if it wasn't, certainly isn't that.
I think the new ownership group was doing everything they could this weekend to make a good case, like, hey, don't forget about us. We'll still be fine even though ownership has changed hands. But I would think this morning that was that did that end?
Well, there's somebody who loves the state. I hate this, you know, I hate it because it's good, But we're the national opinion. I'm sure sorry happening online, it's it's just gonna make it not gonna be positive for us. And the thing is the world will focus on it right now, but in two days everybody leaves, they'll move on to something else. Then when the true facts come out, we know every piece of it. Everybody will have quit paid a digit that sounds familiar, isn't that?
Huh? We went through that on a smaller scale, but we definitely went through that on the referee thing. Most don't even know we won the lawsuits. I'm still waiting on a Seth Davis or never like Seth Davis. And Seth was my first because Seth wrote that whole story. And when we won the suit, I called him and said, you are you gonna write the story that that we won? The lawsuit after you wrote a story that didn't just alleged it set all this stuff happen. And he goes, well, that's just not as big a story now, wow, He responded with that, yes, And I was like, because you won't write it.
That's surprising from Seth. Honestly, you think he'd be a man of character and a journalist. Makes you think that, I don't know. He's on TV a lot.
I said to him. I was like, you wrote the story saying all these allegations. You took him as fact. The judge has said they were wrong. Aren't you going to write the story? And he goes, well, it's just peep, it's it's moved. We've all moved on. I'm moved on.
I'm still waiting for him to run it.
My bank account didn't move on when we had to pay those legal fees.
Trying to move on.
Who's next?
Donnie?
Go ahead, Donnie, hey man, I've got a question for all of you. I thought of it because he's going on your trip to England. But first question, would it be a good idea to bad against Sheffer today?
Okay, so that's a good question, he is now, he birdied, then bogied then birdied, so he's one under under deck. So would you I'll set the over under that he shoots four under today. Where are you going? Uh, Drew?
Well, I made several bets on the shuttle over, so I'm on Scottie today at four hun under. Very wet out there.
It's a tough line. That's what he shot yesterday.
I think, yeah, I don't think he I think it's right on it. I'll say, I'll say.
It goes lower than four under, but it's over under already bet him to win today, So going under.
Bet betting against him.
I've betting against him too. He's gonna go over. We'll take a break. Come back Number two k
