Yeah, Kentucky bourbon. Oh my gosh. You go down there. There could be a bar with a thousand bottles on it. It looks great. And it's all with

saw bourbons. And everybody down there's an expert. But good for you and good for Paul. Everything. Hey, Kentucky. You need a little bit of that.

Ah, yeah, Kentucky, baby. There will not be any Kentucky X-quarter racks on this podcast. Big Phil is a no show today. But there will be mentioned more of

the Kentucky sponsor of Woodford Reserve Distillery on the Christmas top 40. So that's for sure no doubt about it. I mean, really they probably should have sponsored my dad's father back in the day. That's a really

where we should go. Oh, yeah. Oh, man, he liked the bottle. He's pretty famous for liking the old bottle. I don't remember those scenes. By the time I grew of age, he had kind of cleaned up his act a little bit. But my dad said, yeah, he's pretty famous for coming home and, you know, yelling at the kids and telling them what's wrong with their lives.

And things like that movie. Well, yeah, he's he's this is Willie Sims now. Yeah, Willie was a tough SOB. It's like one of those guys. As soon as you met up, you're like, he seems like he's no nonsense. Yeah, he's famous. Okay, Paul. And you may have heard this story before. Yeah, he hit too many bottles one night. Okay. Well, he has Thanksgiving dinner. All right. He can't finish his Thanksgiving meal because he said too many. He has a tooth problem, a toothache. Uh-oh.

So he decides then to go meet up with his friends and he gets shit faced. Yeah. And then calls the dentist and goes. I was either or the very next early the next morning, the details of that part. I'm like, was he up all night? Or did it like the doctor really costs a little shady that part of it. But had all his teeth pulled all every one of them. Pull them all out. My fucking one tooth ruined my meal. Pull them all out. And he went to dentures. Yes.

That is like a total psycho Sims move right there. Like that is, if I, if you could, you could like put a Sims stubborn moment. That's, that's what it is. But yeah, that's like one of the best stories. I've ever had one. Take out the four. Right. Yeah, I had one. Yeah. I'm there. You take a shot of my Kentucky, my Kentucky family like that. They have more than 14. You can tile on any eye. Which is, yeah, it's all right. It's similar. It's similar. Yeah. Yeah. He was also the speaking of Iowa because you guys, you know, got your corn up there and all that.

Yeah, the greatest corn eater I've ever seen either. I mean, just yeah. And his teeth would be like not even connected to his mouth. And they'd be hitting the meat and the scrap is unbelievable. So I'm sorry. I brought that. I don't mean to who owned a farm. Right. Two sentences to me in my entire life. One. Don't go near the pigs. Boy. Right. Apparently the pigs were mean out of the farm or two. Why don't you eat more boy? That was it. Those are for about 18 years. Yeah. Yeah. I, well, that's, so we had a similar grandfather. Yeah. He wasn't much different to me either. Yeah. It wasn't, you know, you better play.

Hard boy. No. You know, you praxen boy. You tough boy. He's ended with boy. Yeah. Boy is a big thing. Big thing for sure. No doubt about it. My, or big. Um, big. Um, I didn't. Big. Um, you ever hear big. Um, my dad, you'll hear him when you talk to him enough. He'll be, how are you doing? Big. Um, and you're like, big. And what the fuck is that? Like, but it's Kentucky right there. No doubt. Big. Yeah. Yeah. It's been a couple of weeks. I know what's up. Good to see you. Yeah. Yeah. All of a sudden we're talking, you whiskey and grandparents grandparents. Yeah. I'm ready.

Talk about your next four quarterbacks. A little bit of Woodford. We got to change it up a little bit. You know, we can't just come in talking football. Like just for two hours. Straight. I got to have a little diversity. We, we could have had more topics. If you ever sent in that we need bikini picture. No, you know, we don't have that. I know. I know. It was, it was top of mind. Next, Olympic quad. I'll go visit the men's team. Okay. Okay. You might be more appropriate when I'm addressing. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So, um, before we hit the quarterback. Yeah.

I understand we have a little bit of news out of South Florida. Yeah. And in June when you have anything news worthy in the NFL. Got to spend some time there. Yeah. No doubt about it. I think, you know, in general, here's where I'd like to start with it. Just like a little bit of throwing in the rains become a subject here lately. This is too a base. And even, you know, I think we might even go up the New England because we got some clips there too. Because this came out the other day. People talking about, you know, Cam Newton struggled throwing in the rain. Here's a few clips of him missing throws. And then here's Mac Jones completing them.

Let's bench cam and start Mac just because of that. But there is something to throwing the ball in the rain. There's no doubt you have to adjust. You know that. Right. It's awful. It's a pain in the butt. You can't spin the ball. You can't throw the ball as aggressively as you want to, which, of course, can dictate the accuracy of the throws and a lot of those issues. Now, like here are no issues. Right. They both kind of the ball was dropped throws it easy. But I could see like Mac Jones compared to what I see from Cam here. And I know this, this film's

not doing justice to how rainy it is here. It's raining a little harder than it looks. But Mac Jones, as you can see here, has taken something off the ball on his throws. He's gone, wait, I'm not going to be able to throw my 100 mile fastball exactly the way I want it. Cam Newton took the approach of, hey, screw you, rain. I'm just going to throw the ball the way I throw it. But as you can see, that led to pretty looking throws nice spirals, good velocity. But lack of control. The ball was real. This one was good. You know, from Cam, you see,

there though, he was, he dialed it back a little, this like perfect back of the end zone throw by Mac Jones. But here, he tries to put a little mustard and throw his normal way. And I'm sure the ball squirts out of his hands to a degree. You know, again, the object is wet. So the tighter you grip it, the more it's going to squeeze out of your hands. And that, see, again, just too violent, too like thinking, no, it's not dry. The ball's not sticky. You're not going to be able to do that. There's a throw by Mac Jones where people might go, that's not impressive. Is that realistic? Yeah.

So one-on-one jump on his guy had a chance to catch it. And the guy before didn't have a chance to catch it. So it is realistic. But you know, I don't know what you thought of. I've had these conversations with dad through the years. I did not like throwing a wet ball. But you had to adjust how you threw the football and not all quarterbacks do that. Right. And I think the big thing is, is I was a squeezeer of the ball. I think you were too. We've discussed this. I mean, I wanted to grip it. I wanted to break the ball when I squeezed it. I really did. That's how I was. But that's the worst thing for throwing in the rain.

You know, and great quarterbacks like Troy Ackman, John L. Wei, they've, I've, Troy's told me, I hated it. So did John L. Wei, 40, not Broncos against the Falcons. That's Super Bowl. All the, the Shana hands have told me this. Before the game, all they were worried about was, please don't rain. There was a rain storm coming and they were like, man, L. Wei struggled to throw on the ball in the rain. It poured right when the game was over. But yes, they were grippers of the football, too. So when you have that, you kind of got to grip it lightly. Right. You almost got to let it lay in your hand.

A little bit to a degree, get a little moisture in my hand. Because you're just not going to be able to control it and do this type of stuff and pump it. And that's where you saw, like, Mac Jones, he kept it real connected. He was like, okay, I'm just going to keep my arm and my body altogether one speed. And it might not be a laser, but it's going to go where I want. Cam decided just to stick with it. I'm going to grip it. And I'm going to let my arm go have a violent motion and try to do it. But as you see, you lose control of the football. It's almost like you have to be comfortable shot putting the ball.

You have it in your palm. Yes. And when you're really ripping the ball, I don't know how you were in two days, but I always get this like this massive callus on the tip of a finger because it's always coming off your finger. Right. When you're doing it the right way. Right. In the rain, it's more of just a push from your palm. Yeah. And it's a difficult thing to get comfortable with. Got to get comfortable with that. You're right. It's not going to feel the same. It's not going to be as pretty. And then, you know, off of that. And this is where we jump into two, I think, because two has got the five interceptions and a rainy

practice. And again, yeah, it's rainy. And we don't know the full context of those interceptions, too. It might be rainy. Ball might have gone through a few guys hands and just squirted up in the air. And it was a perfect throw. You know, but I will say this. You do have to, I think, you know, kind of evaluate your expectations a little bit when it's rainy, too. You're not going to be able to make some of the same throws. You have to change your decision making to a degree. You know, and that was the thing that came out of two. A two had a quote of like, you know, trying to be aggressive.

Still, right? And do that type of stuff. Sure. Aggressive is great. Yes. But aggressive within the limits of rain is different than aggressive within the limits of it's a great day and the ball sticky. And I can really spin it. And that's something a young player sometimes has to get used to, you know, dry day. Oh, wait, I think I can fit that 30 yard ball in between those two guys down the sideline. Wet day, you're not going to be able to. But are you going to have enough, you know, what's about you to adjust that thought in your brain in a game situation to go, Oh, I don't like that.

Let me just do something a little safer. And that's the fine line young quarterbacks have to find and really all quarterbacks have to figure out when they, when they throw the ball in the rain.
