Speaker 2: six five six and is always The KSR pre Show
Speaker 2: is brought to you by aal x fine Italian dining
Speaker 2: right here in Lexington, Kentucky.
Speaker 1: And boy boy, was last night fun. It made the
Speaker 1: fun to not end for a lot of people. I
Speaker 1: never went to sleep after the game last night. And
Speaker 1: the only person that is allowed to be more tired
Speaker 1: than I am is my co host, Shannon of the Dude,
Speaker 1: who's joining me from Nashville this morning. Good morning, Shannon,
Speaker 1: what's up?
Speaker 3: Hey, Billy? How are you?
Speaker 4: So?
Speaker 3: You have not been to sleep?
Speaker 4: That?
Speaker 3: I respect that. Actually I maybe got three or four
Speaker 3: hours of sleep, but you haven't been to sleep at all.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was a great decision. I
Speaker 1: am a little loopy this morning. We were running on peer,
Speaker 1: red Bull and adrenaline, but Shannon the couch in the
Speaker 1: office wasn't comfy enough, and the time I got home
Speaker 1: at four thirty am, it just wasn't worth it to
Speaker 1: go to bed. So we just kept on trucking and
Speaker 1: now we're here. So I'm glad to be back with
Speaker 1: you this morning, Shannon.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me tell you. We're at Matt's Airbnb right now,
Speaker 3: and I've got Ryan Limit on the headsets here with
Speaker 3: us too, so he can chime in and join us.
Speaker 3: But Ryan had to drive me to the airbnb this morning, Billy,
Speaker 3: because you know, yesterday the band played at Tin Roof
Speaker 3: on Broadway, and I brought in all my equipment. Well,
Speaker 3: you know, the pregame show had to happen, you know,
Speaker 3: it was going on during the band's performance, right, So
Speaker 3: Ryan picks up the equipment and takes it over to
Speaker 3: DraftKings where they did the pregame show. Well, little did
Speaker 3: he realize he not only took the com Rex equipment,
Speaker 3: he also took part of the band's equipment with him
Speaker 3: in a case that he thought belonged to iHeart. Okay,
Speaker 3: so not only did he take the band equipment with him,
Speaker 3: I don't know, Like I'll let him explain here in
Speaker 3: a minute, Like how magically he thought the equipment went
Speaker 3: from one box to two boxes like that second box
Speaker 3: that he took was never a part of the equipment
Speaker 3: at any point of this trip until last night. But Billy,
Speaker 3: not only did it have the band equipment in it,
Speaker 3: which we turned out we didn't need. It was it
Speaker 3: was some equipment that we ended up not needing last night,
Speaker 3: thank god. But it also had my room key, which
Speaker 3: is not a big deal because you can always go
Speaker 3: to the front desk and request a new room key, right,
Speaker 3: but it had my car keys in there. Oh so
Speaker 3: I was not able to uh to drive myself here
Speaker 3: today because the car keys were in the box, which
Speaker 3: then ended up here at the Airbnb, which is where
Speaker 3: we're at right now. But Ryan, explain yourself, how did
Speaker 3: you go right on hacking that thinking there was a
Speaker 3: second box that was the radio equipment when you know
Speaker 3: it was all in one box.
Speaker 4: The shin in the dude I was Bluegawn was rocking,
Speaker 4: it was it was crazy. We're all having a great
Speaker 4: time and we behind the curtains when we hid our equipment,
Speaker 4: right So when it got time for me to go
Speaker 4: and pick it up, the guy tan Ruf Morgan, who
Speaker 4: has helped us out tremendously.
Speaker 3: He's awesome.
Speaker 4: Hands me that case. I didn't even I just that
Speaker 4: was it, did you not?
Speaker 3: Like the case that I had was very, very light,
Speaker 3: like there was not much at it, Like like I said,
Speaker 3: like one little piece of equipment for the band in
Speaker 3: car keys like this. This other equipment that we use
Speaker 3: every day is really heavy. It's very headsets, it's got
Speaker 3: the Comrex system, it's got all kinds of stuff in
Speaker 3: there with the sticker on it excess too. And in
Speaker 3: the moment you didn't notice the difference between this large
Speaker 3: case and this small case.
Speaker 4: I thought this, Shannon's got this here for a reason.
Speaker 4: It's got this, yeah for the band two case, he's
Speaker 4: got the extension court in here, or he's got the
Speaker 4: headphones in here. It's here for a reason. And Morgan
Speaker 4: hands me the other one is Okay, this is the
Speaker 4: one that's got the Comrax in it. I'm gonna take
Speaker 4: this one. There's something in here, or Shannon would not
Speaker 4: have it.
Speaker 3: What you're leaving up part of the story that you
Speaker 3: told me this morning. You actually took the small case first, yes,
Speaker 3: and was almost out the door, which would have meant
Speaker 3: that you would have showed up at Draft Kings opened
Speaker 3: the equipment Cox. That was almost a disaster that didn't
Speaker 3: happen luckily.
Speaker 4: I will say this though, that's there a heavy son
Speaker 4: of a gun to walk from Tin Roof to Drag Kings.
Speaker 4: That was sweating like crazy. It was so heavy. I
Speaker 4: had both cases and our little orange bag our with
Speaker 4: our Max connect in it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but uh we got there. We got to find you,
Speaker 3: got your keys back there. Everything's good, everything good. We're
Speaker 3: all good. Billy. Wow.
Speaker 4: I was glad you.
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're able to make it this morning. She
Speaker 1: had no car keys, no room key.
Speaker 5: I mean.
Speaker 4: Four hours yesterday, dude, he was he was me say
Speaker 4: something about Shannon. It was awesome. That concert yesterday at
Speaker 4: Tin Roof was outstanding. And I'm so proud when I
Speaker 4: see Shannon up on the stage doing anything, I'm like,
Speaker 4: I feel like a proud papa.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's our little Shannon. Here's the thing, though, Ryan,
Speaker 3: I didn't even see you there. If I had a
Speaker 3: I would have brought you up to do wagon Wheel
Speaker 3: with us. We ended up playing that song like last
Speaker 3: because I thought maybe there's a chance you would, you know,
Speaker 3: come in later on so we saved it for the
Speaker 3: very end, but you weren't there, so we did it anyway.
Speaker 4: But uh invented Vince Merril show up.
Speaker 3: He did not show up. We did not do simple
Speaker 3: Man like we did last year. But a ton of
Speaker 3: people did show up, and I want to say thanks
Speaker 3: to everybody who who showed up at some point or another.
Speaker 3: I know it was a long show. There were a
Speaker 3: few people that actually stayed for all four hours, which
Speaker 3: is pretty amazing, but it was you know, it was
Speaker 3: a rotation of people, so we probably ended up playing
Speaker 3: in front of I don't know, four or five hundred
Speaker 3: people after the four hours was over. Last night, I
Speaker 3: heard it.
Speaker 1: Was a little stuffy in there, Shannony, you get a
Speaker 1: little fun at all, Like were you in thirty five
Speaker 1: minutes in?
Speaker 3: And man like I was sweating through my first of all,
Speaker 3: the weather down here has been great. It has been
Speaker 3: a fantastic like seventy five degrees yesterday. I think it's
Speaker 3: supposed to be the same today down here. But I
Speaker 3: was sweating through my clothes before we even played our
Speaker 3: first song, so I knew it was going to be
Speaker 3: a long night. But you know, everything went well. I
Speaker 3: think that was our best show that we played with
Speaker 3: the four of us maybe ever. So I was I
Speaker 3: couldn't have been more happy with the way it went
Speaker 3: last night. So Billy, I wish you were here. It's
Speaker 3: a lot of fun down here. But man, the game
Speaker 3: was a lot of fun last night, wasn't it? Boy?
Speaker 6: Was it?
Speaker 1: And how about these crowds? I mean, Big Blue Nation
Speaker 1: has just taken over Nashville. Tyler Thompson posted a pick
Speaker 1: sure of people just trying to get into Bridgestone Arena
Speaker 1: before the game, and it was just to see and
Speaker 1: it's something that I think many in BIBAN have been
Speaker 1: yearning to see again in the SEC Tournament.
Speaker 3: But like, where do we begin?
Speaker 1: Guys, like, I mean, Otega Away does it again against
Speaker 1: his old team, Texas A and M Texas go into
Speaker 1: double overtime, so the game's delayed by an hour. I mean,
Speaker 1: it was just it was one of those all time
Speaker 1: nights that I think we'll remember for a long time,
Speaker 1: don't you agree to?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, the first day of the SEC Tournament,
Speaker 3: I mean, the games weren't all that exciting, I didn't think,
Speaker 3: but yesterday more than made up for the lack of
Speaker 3: excitement In the first day. So, yeah, you had that
Speaker 3: great double overtime game with Texas and Texas A and M.
Speaker 3: You got to think Texas is now.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if they're not in the tournament, they're certainly in
Speaker 3: the conversation at this point. And then that game last night,
Speaker 3: I mean, what a way to end it. And uh man,
Speaker 3: Otaga Away did it again. If you're Oklahoma, You've got
Speaker 3: Otega Away and your nightmare for years to come. I mean,
Speaker 3: that guy just he just has some sort to magic
Speaker 3: apparently at the end of the games against Oklahoma.
Speaker 1: I mean, Ryan, what do you think, I mean, does
Speaker 1: he just want it more when he plays his old team?
Speaker 1: Twenty seven points and probably the biggest part of the
Speaker 1: story is.
Speaker 3: That he struggled late.
Speaker 1: I mean, he had two turnovers in the final minute
Speaker 1: before he hit that game winner, and Mark Pope highlighted that.
Speaker 1: I mean, that guy has just become with Lamont Butler
Speaker 1: being out with injury, he's become the heart and soul
Speaker 1: of this team.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Really bad turnovers allowed Oklahoma to get back in it. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I'm telling you what for that kid to hit not one,
Speaker 4: but two last second game winners against his old team
Speaker 4: is like a Disney movie. Yeah, and I mean when
Speaker 4: he was running down the floor went range right in
Speaker 4: front of the Oklahoma bench, I got chili bumps. I mean,
Speaker 4: it was a special, special moment and for that kid
Speaker 4: to do it twice this year, but he did. I mean,
Speaker 4: he made some bad turnovers. It just shows you how
Speaker 4: valuable Lamont Butler is to the team. Because he was
Speaker 4: out there, they probably wouldn't have those late game turnovers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the thing that you know, Like, I don't
Speaker 3: know that we're gonna worry about it right now because
Speaker 3: they won the game, but that would be a pretty
Speaker 3: amazing collapse if they were to have lost that game.
Speaker 3: I mean, they were up ten points with what a
Speaker 3: minute forty to go, and I think up twelve with
Speaker 3: like two minutes to go, and I'm going, all right, well,
Speaker 3: this one's over. And I was back at the hotel
Speaker 3: at that point. I kind of nodded off for a
Speaker 3: few seconds and I woke up and Oklahoma just took
Speaker 3: the lead. I go, wait a minutes. All of a sudden,
Speaker 3: now I'm wide awake again in my hotel room in
Speaker 3: an no way coming down. And I almost put money
Speaker 3: on it because I just had a feeling and this
Speaker 3: is me like my betting life. Almost put money on it,
Speaker 3: but didn't. I tried to hit the thing on DraftKings
Speaker 3: to to bet Kentucky to win. They were like plus
Speaker 3: two forty I think at that point, and I couldn't
Speaker 3: hit it, and I realized I saw the score on DraftKings.
Speaker 3: I guess the TV was behind a little bit. So
Speaker 3: I saw the score eighty five eighty four Kentucky, and
Speaker 3: I go, oh, they just won the game. And then
Speaker 3: you know, a few seconds later, I'm watching it on TV.
Speaker 3: But yeah, Billy, I mean they nearly had an all
Speaker 3: time collapse there at the end of that game.
Speaker 1: My jaw was on the floor when Oklahoma took that
Speaker 1: one point lead, and all of Big Blue Nation, I think,
Speaker 1: was shocked.
Speaker 3: What is going on? Would this be an all time
Speaker 3: collapse and another first.
Speaker 1: Game exit for Kentucky in the SEC Tournament? But no,
Speaker 1: it was otega Oway who was I mean behind the backboard, guys,
Speaker 1: I mean left handed floater running the full length of
Speaker 1: the court on the right side of that baseline. It's
Speaker 1: just it was an incredible shot. And if I could
Speaker 1: go back to the first game winner that he had
Speaker 1: versus Oklahoma before he scored the final eighteen points of
Speaker 1: the game. He really struggled in that game too. So
Speaker 1: I mean Mark Pope highlighted this. I mean he kind
Speaker 1: of epitomizes what this team means to stay present and
Speaker 1: not think about the thing that happened.
Speaker 3: In the past.
Speaker 1: And boy, have they exceeded expectations for me. I don't
Speaker 1: know about you guys, but you know what they've done
Speaker 1: in the regular season. This win was satisfying last night
Speaker 1: to the point where we'll get to the Lamont Butler conversation.
Speaker 1: But this was what I was looking for when Kentucky
Speaker 1: brought back one of their own.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the SEC Tournament. You know, we kind
Speaker 3: of highlighted this yesterday. Used to be the tournament that
Speaker 3: Kentucky owned. It was Kentucky and it was everybody else.
Speaker 3: And you know, you think about this is their first
Speaker 3: win in the SEC Tournament since the twenty twenty two season,
Speaker 3: and this fan base just needed to win. Now, whatever
Speaker 3: happens today, who knows, But you know, I don't expect
Speaker 3: Butler to play. And you got to think, you know,
Speaker 3: with three guys out, if they were to go on
Speaker 3: any sort of run and hopefully Butler is able to
Speaker 3: come back at some point. I don't know if you
Speaker 3: heard Mark Pope's post game comments, he didn't sound too
Speaker 3: confident about the situation. But let's just see what happens today.
Speaker 3: Let's enjoy this victory though, before we get to the
Speaker 3: Alabama game tonight. Let's let's take I guess, not even
Speaker 3: twenty four hours to soak it all in. Let's take
Speaker 3: whatever time we have left to enjoy that win last
Speaker 3: night for what it was, and it should be a
Speaker 3: fun one tonight. Another late game tonight too with Alabama. Yeah, so, Billy,
Speaker 3: I help you ready?
Speaker 4: Late game?
Speaker 3: You're okay? How late to the post? Let me ask you,
Speaker 3: because you had to produce the postgame show? What time
Speaker 3: did the postgame show start and what time did it end?
Speaker 1: Well, the game did not start till ten forty six
Speaker 1: after it was scheduled to be at nine to thirty.
Speaker 1: Postgame started at two twenty five am with Matt and
Speaker 1: Hubby on the on their roof watching the blood.
Speaker 3: Moon, which I did not see since there's no windows
Speaker 3: in that studio. Blood moon huh? Okay, blood moon yes?
Speaker 1: And then that went all the way to three thirty
Speaker 1: before we finally signed off.
Speaker 3: So that's got to be an all time record for
Speaker 3: latest postgame show, I would think, right, that's what Matt
Speaker 3: was saying. He was saying that it was the latest
Speaker 3: that he could remember.
Speaker 1: And then with you know what was happening with the
Speaker 1: blood moon, and I mean just I don't know, weird
Speaker 1: stuff happened last night. Weird stuff, and I just decided
Speaker 1: not to let the night in and not go to sleep.
Speaker 1: But you know, there were some moments in this game
Speaker 1: that I think we'll look back and remember. I mean,
Speaker 1: Colin Chandler's bloody eyebrow a' llah Tyler Ulis, right, I
Speaker 1: mean that was he didn't even get a foul called
Speaker 1: on that either head to go get stitches for that,
Speaker 1: and it was almost exactly.
Speaker 3: Like Tyler Eulis, wasn't it. It was, Yeah, somebody put
Speaker 3: up side by side of it on Twitter of Ulis
Speaker 3: and Chandler, and you know he came back out there,
Speaker 3: he's bandaged up and still playing. I mean, that guy
Speaker 3: has been one of the great surprises, I think for
Speaker 3: the second half of the season so much. You know,
Speaker 3: he's brought from the defensive side of playing and you know,
Speaker 3: like I said, he doesn't have to be a guy
Speaker 3: that goes out there and gets you a lot of points.
Speaker 3: If he can come in and contribute, maybe score you know,
Speaker 3: seven eight nine points. I think that's that's all you
Speaker 3: need out of Colin Chandler. But he has been just
Speaker 3: a big boost and a guy that's really stepped up
Speaker 3: with Mark Pope dealing with these injuries, and he could
Speaker 3: be in line for even more minutes.
Speaker 1: And then Ryan, you know, Ansley Almanor only scored two
Speaker 1: baskets in the game, but I thought they were huge
Speaker 1: in the time that they came in. It was, I believe,
Speaker 1: early in the second half, and it allowed Kentucky to
Speaker 1: extend their lead a little bit. I mean, that was
Speaker 1: just that guy playing his role, and we're gonna need
Speaker 1: a lot more of that, don't you think he.
Speaker 4: Was Maybe he was the Johnny Rocker role player of
Speaker 4: the game.
Speaker 3: He did.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he came in, did his thing. Didn't get any
Speaker 4: minutes from in crunch time. When Pope decided to roll
Speaker 4: with those guys, you know, he kind of rotated Amari
Speaker 4: and Brandon Garrison out, but he left car Chandler, Brea
Speaker 4: and Otega out there and let him roll with those
Speaker 4: guys for a big stretch of the game when they
Speaker 4: went up by twelve, and.
Speaker 1: You can always hear the joy and somebody like Jack
Speaker 1: Gibbons doing the call, and Andrew Carr was immediately given
Speaker 1: to us in the post game to be interviewed by Jack,
Speaker 1: and just the interaction right there, it was just everybody
Speaker 1: was still in shock after not only Oklahoma coming back
Speaker 1: to take the lead a one point lead, but Kentucky
Speaker 1: getting another buzzer beatter win. And now that the name
Speaker 1: otega Oway, you know, that's something that you remember forever,
Speaker 1: right like when we talk about great SEC tournament performances.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is game one, first postseason game of
Speaker 1: Mark Pope's tenure at Kentucky, and it's one that we'll
Speaker 1: remember for a long long time. I'm hoping you got
Speaker 1: some Red Bull or five hour energy shon.
Speaker 3: I mean, what's the caffe and we got some Hotel
Speaker 3: Lobby coffee. It's it Hotel lobby coffee with three hazel
Speaker 3: nut creamers and two swim eat and low sugars and
Speaker 3: a little straw coming out of it too. Because you know,
Speaker 3: you don't I might be the only person that drinks
Speaker 3: coffee with the straw because I don't want to have
Speaker 3: like coffee stained teeth, so I have a little straw
Speaker 3: there so I sip coffee with the straw. I don't
Speaker 3: know you're doing it. Maybe that's a little weird, but
Speaker 3: you know, at least don't have brown teeth. I think
Speaker 3: that's weird. But I do salute the hazelnut creamer.
Speaker 4: You put me onto that.
Speaker 1: And what a hotel room or a hotel to have
Speaker 1: that creamer for you?
Speaker 4: Ready to go?
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. I was going to tell you real quick, Billy.
Speaker 3: I haven't looked at the latest bracketology this morning, assuming
Speaker 3: that there's a new one out, but Ryan and I
Speaker 3: we're kind of looking at it yesterday. And you know, again,
Speaker 3: Joe Lenardi, you don't take it as gospel. Just because
Speaker 3: he's got it on here for his bracketology doesn't mean
Speaker 3: it's going to be what happens. But let's just say
Speaker 3: theoretically he's correct. Did you see that in the latest
Speaker 3: bracketology if Kentucky were to win their first game and
Speaker 3: Oklahoma were to win their first game, Kentucky and Oklahoma
Speaker 3: would play each other in the in the second tournament.
Speaker 3: Now it looks like it's been updated here Now it
Speaker 3: looks like they've got Kentucky as the three seed, with
Speaker 3: UCLA and Drake being the six and eleven. So that's changed.
Speaker 3: But I just now looked at that this morning. I
Speaker 3: want to avoid SEC teams for as long as possible.
Speaker 4: I don't know about Shannon.
Speaker 3: That's it, man, Like you know, you talk about the
Speaker 3: teams you don't want to see. I don't want to
Speaker 3: see the teams we've already played, because I mean, you
Speaker 3: tell me that you give me Ucla or Drake, I'll
Speaker 3: take that all day. You're one is actually Florida, So yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean, you're not gonna avoid the one seed if
Speaker 3: you get that far, because they're all going to be
Speaker 3: SEC teams. But other than that, I mean, right now,
Speaker 3: just looking at the latest brocketology, I would take it.
Speaker 3: The only other SEC school in their bracket right now
Speaker 3: is Vanderbilt, which is a ten seed, which I mean
Speaker 3: they're not going to make it that far anyway. So
Speaker 3: you know, right now, you tell me that you have
Speaker 3: the possibility to play Montana, Drake or UCLA, and then
Speaker 3: I guess Texas Tech is the two seed.
Speaker 4: I'm taking it.
Speaker 3: I'll take that all day.
Speaker 4: I'm taking that. Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1: You know, guys, I just can't remember a time in
Speaker 1: sports where I had such an emotion swing, you know,
Speaker 1: from that Oklahoma taking a one point lead to the
Speaker 1: time that O taga Away hit the buzzer beater. It
Speaker 1: was just I almost like I almost saw the entire
Speaker 1: summer of sports talk radio flash before my eyes.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, Shannon, Like, Yeah, it'd.
Speaker 1: Have been a tough conversation and tough show this morning
Speaker 1: if they would have blown a ten or twelve point
Speaker 1: lead in the final minute and a half.
Speaker 3: So but going back to what I was talking about
Speaker 3: a minute ago with the DraftKings beat thing, I just
Speaker 3: had a feeling that Kentucky was going to win that game,
Speaker 3: like they are not going to lose this game. I
Speaker 3: don't know why I had that filling, but again I
Speaker 3: was too late to place the bet on it.
Speaker 4: But I was sitting by Josiah in the arena watching
Speaker 4: the game, and when Fears hit the shot to go
Speaker 4: up and the inbound of the ball and I'll take
Speaker 4: a got it as he's dribbled down. I told Josya
Speaker 4: said he can't hit two game winners against the same
Speaker 4: team did and he did, Yep, he did. I said
Speaker 4: he can't do it. He can't hit two game winners. Boom, yep.
Speaker 3: So Billy. Overall, I think this is going to be
Speaker 3: a day that we're going to remember for years to come.
Speaker 3: Like when we look back, you know, we're doing KSR
Speaker 3: six seven eight years from now, we're gonna, you know,
Speaker 3: talk about the greatest SEC tournament moments. This is definitely
Speaker 3: gonna be one of them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know how otega Oway got that shot off?
Speaker 1: I mean incredible to not only do it against the
Speaker 1: same team twice, but your old team in the transl
Speaker 1: portal era.
Speaker 3: Uh, it is unbelievable storyline.
Speaker 1: That sometimes you write it as a movie script in
Speaker 1: the in the theaters themselves would reject it. But eight
Speaker 1: five nine two eight zero two two eight seven, give
Speaker 1: us a call, tell us how you're feeling about the cats.
Speaker 1: Have we checked on Mario this morning?
Speaker 3: Have done with Mario? I'm looking at Mario right now.
Speaker 3: He came. What was that dance he was doing as
Speaker 3: he was coming down? That was the gritty. That was
Speaker 3: the gritty. Okay, so he was gritty in his way down.
Speaker 3: I've seen the dance and you know, maybe I should
Speaker 3: have grittied up on stage last night with Alice blue gown,
Speaker 3: but I don't. He'll have to teach me how to gritty.
Speaker 3: It's like the old guy. These kids with their dances,
Speaker 3: they're they're gritty and well shod.
Speaker 1: At three thirty last night and Mario went out to
Speaker 1: the bars after the postgame show ended.
Speaker 3: Mario shutting it down in Nashville. That's right, he's been
Speaker 3: coming to the new Drew. But give us a call.
Speaker 1: It's Shannon, Billy and Ryan here on a Friday edition
Speaker 1: of the KSR pre Show. We'll be right back, all right,
Speaker 1: welcome back this feel good Friday edition of the KSR
Speaker 1: pre Show. As the Cats beed Oklahoma in the SEC
Speaker 1: Tournament last night eighty five to eighty four, they will
Speaker 1: take on Alabama. We think around nine to thirty Eastern time.
Speaker 1: Probably be a little later than that, but not as
Speaker 1: late as it was last night.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't know. I mean, we can still have
Speaker 3: the game before us are going to triple overtime to
Speaker 3: night and you won't be going to bed until six am.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: No, of course, at least you get at least you
Speaker 3: get at least to get Saturday, though, you know tomorrow Saturday,
Speaker 3: if it's a late game tonight, you'll be okay. I'm
Speaker 3: sure you're gonna work in a nap at some point today, Billy, right,
Speaker 3: you know you always yeah, yeah, believe me.
Speaker 1: Don't try to don't try to reach me after this
Speaker 1: pre show. I've got to recharge the batteries before.
Speaker 4: We do this again.
Speaker 1: There's an interesting day in college basketball. We mentioned some
Speaker 1: of the games in the SEC Tournament. Old miss beats
Speaker 1: John Caliperi in Arkansas at the I mean the second
Speaker 1: three point shot after two miss free throws, Shannon, I mean,
Speaker 1: a devastating way for John to go out, wasn't it.
Speaker 3: You hate to see that, right, But no, I guess
Speaker 3: Arkansas is still in the tournament. It looks like on
Speaker 3: the on the latest Brocketology. But yeah, that was another
Speaker 3: great I feel like all the games yesterday, let's see,
Speaker 3: was there one that wasn't Missouri? Mississippi State wasn't as
Speaker 3: good as the others. But I mean, okay, well, I
Speaker 3: think I was playing during that game, so I was,
Speaker 3: you know, trying to perform and entertain the masses, but
Speaker 3: also peek over and get a score check. Every now
Speaker 3: and on the on the TV. So but yeah, I mean,
Speaker 3: it was just a great day of college basketball, especially
Speaker 3: in the SEC tournament. Outside of the SEC Tournament, we
Speaker 3: saw Louisville hit a buzzer beater against Stanford to advance
Speaker 3: in their conference tournament and Cooper Flagg got hurt with
Speaker 3: a turned ankle. I don't did you see that?
Speaker 1: Shannon because on a wheelchair at that point and then
Speaker 1: was back on the bench a little later after that.
Speaker 3: My question is, what is ESPN going to talk about
Speaker 3: if Cooper Flag isn't available for Duke in the NC
Speaker 3: DOUBLEA Tournament? I mean, my goodness, I mean, but yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean I hate to see that, you know, for anybody.
Speaker 3: I'm obviously not a Duke fan, but hate to see
Speaker 3: Cooper Flag go down. And I don't know have they
Speaker 3: given an update on is he going to be I
Speaker 3: wouldn't say available for today, but maybe available for the
Speaker 3: NC Double A tournament, any any updates.
Speaker 1: I have not seen an update. It looked pretty serious
Speaker 1: though at the time that it happened. But you're right,
Speaker 1: what will ESPN talk about if he's not in the tournament?
Speaker 4: But that could be wish is they had that ankle doctor.
Speaker 3: That's right, the ankle doctor. Could we had at Kentucky.
Speaker 3: I guess they'll talk about Duke in North Carolina today
Speaker 3: because we know that's their favorite matchup all year long.
Speaker 3: So happened third today.

Speaker 1: We just got about a minute or so till we
Speaker 1: need to take a break, so we're gonna hold the
Speaker 1: callers until the next segment.
Speaker 3: But we've we've got to talk about Lamont Butler as well.
Speaker 1: Guys, I mean, has your outlook gotten any worse if
Speaker 1: Lamont Butler's not.
Speaker 3: Gonna be able to play for this tea one hundred percent? Yeah.
Speaker 3: And look if if Butler's not and I don't know,
Speaker 3: like what's gonna happen today. I just hope that he's
Speaker 3: ready to go for the NCUBLEA tournament. Like if it
Speaker 3: meant we didn't have Butler today, but we could rust
Speaker 3: him up and he could be ready for the NC
Speaker 3: DOUBLEA tournament, I would say do that. But you know,
Speaker 3: if you listen to Mark Pope's comments like I said
Speaker 3: earlier after the game, and you'll try to red Yeah,
Speaker 3: he caught it devastating. I don't know that he uses
Speaker 3: that word if it's just something that you know, he's
Speaker 3: gonna keep them out for a game or two, right
Speaker 3: and almost you know, if you're trying to read between
Speaker 3: the lines and you know, this is nothing other than
Speaker 3: that it feels like this may be a situation of
Speaker 3: where they don't have them for the rest of the year.
Speaker 3: And again it's only speculation. That's that's a scoop, that's speculation,
Speaker 3: just just reading the tea leaves.
Speaker 1: Well, it'd be it'd be amazing the hand that Mark
Speaker 1: Pope was dealt of. His three of his top players
Speaker 1: and ball handlers would be injured in his first year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: could be the reality. We need to take a break.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back on the KSR pre Show. Welcome back, Billy,
Speaker 1: Shannon and Ryan here on the KOSR pre Show. The
Speaker 1: guys are in Nashville. I'm here in Lexington, Kentucky, Alabama tonight.
Speaker 1: And uh, maybe we should ask Ryan Lemon what's gonna
Speaker 1: happen because he almost exactly predicted the game yesterday.
Speaker 4: Ryan, didn't you call a one point game in the eighties? Yeah,
Speaker 4: I did sleep at a holiday and express list. Uh yeah,
Speaker 4: I just, I just I said eighty one eighty and
Speaker 4: I guess was eighty five eighty four. But I didn't
Speaker 4: think it would go down to the last position because
Speaker 4: that's just how the game went in Oklahoma and Oklahoma,
Speaker 4: you know, and I just thought it was going to
Speaker 4: be a and you know, Kentucky came out and threw
Speaker 4: a haymaker right out the start of the they you know,
Speaker 4: laid a big knockout punch on Oklahoma, and Oklahoma battle back,
Speaker 4: and then it was back and forth the whole way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess they're they're collapse at the end. Made
Speaker 3: you look like a genius because it was a one
Speaker 3: point game. You didn't call that, I mean, come up.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I like to think of myself as an uh huh yeah.
Speaker 3: But you know, victory lab I thought, you know, Kentucky
Speaker 3: would blow them out. Just because the first game was
Speaker 3: in Oklahoma. This game was essentially a home game. I mean,
Speaker 3: have you seen the pictures, Billy, of of all the
Speaker 3: Kentucky fans like going into the arena. I mean, it's insane.
Speaker 3: There's not another you can't find, like one fan base,
Speaker 3: one fan of another team, and that entire picture, it's
Speaker 3: all Kentucky fans in there.
Speaker 4: I know you're the the radio show, but you know,
Speaker 4: after the game was over, the SEC Network brought out
Speaker 4: Otega and Pope to sit on the studio ded at
Speaker 4: the table with them and nobody.
Speaker 3: Everybody.
Speaker 4: Everybody stayed, Nobody wanted to leave. Everybody was still soaking
Speaker 4: it up, soaking it all in. We all, myself and
Speaker 4: Josiah included, we all gathered around with the masses as
Speaker 4: we watched those guys on them. We couldn't hear what
Speaker 4: they were saying. Just to be a part of it.
Speaker 4: Nobody wanted to let go.
Speaker 3: So on a level of like zero to drunk or
Speaker 3: like really drunk, how was the fan base like you
Speaker 3: were at the game so, like, was it a drunk crowd?
Speaker 3: It was. It was a good crowd though, a great crowd.
Speaker 4: I mean it was. They were loud, they were into it.
Speaker 4: The SEC tournament crowd is just special, just a different
Speaker 4: group of people, and it was an awesome environment last night.
Speaker 3: Billy, we were talking about the price of a beer
Speaker 3: there at the stadium because they're actually, for the first
Speaker 3: time this year selling beer to the general public. Did
Speaker 3: you see how much a beer is there? How much
Speaker 3: of them set you back?
Speaker 1: Tall Boy was like seventeen fifty seventeen fifty, So that
Speaker 1: might've been part of the reason that wasn't too much
Speaker 1: of a drunk crowd last night. Yeah, listen, I'll just
Speaker 1: sneak a fireball thing in I don't need a week's
Speaker 1: paycheck to go to one beer. But you know what,
Speaker 1: that's went in Rome, right, and a lot of people
Speaker 1: are using their vacation days for the SEC tournament. I'm
Speaker 1: glad you brought up that eight to zero run at
Speaker 1: the beginning because the pot from the UK crowd. I
Speaker 1: mean I thought the game was over right there.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, it kind of felt like it. I mean,
Speaker 3: they jumped out early and I thought, man, they're just
Speaker 3: going to bury this team. But then Oklahoma fall back,
Speaker 3: and you know, even at the end, when it's two
Speaker 3: minutes left and they're up by twelve points, you think, well,
Speaker 3: this one's over. You feel good about it. And yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't know that any Kentucky fans left, But if
Speaker 3: I were at the game and you're up twelve points
Speaker 3: and I was gonna beat the crowd, I might say,
Speaker 3: let's get out of here. They've won this game.
Speaker 4: Well, funny you said that. You know there's that stretch
Speaker 4: where I'll take a hit a three, Kobe hit a three,
Speaker 4: and it'll take Ahad a three point play. There were
Speaker 4: people that actually were leaving after that. They got the
Speaker 4: game over. I'm gonna beat the crowd. It's one o'clock
Speaker 4: in the morning. I'm out of here.
Speaker 3: Man, if you left, you're probably kicking yourself. You're going, Man,
Speaker 3: you missed a hell of an ending.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's take some call, guys. We got loaded lines.
Speaker 3: Eight seven. I believe Robert is first up. Good morning, Robert.
Speaker 6: Hey, guys, how's it going. I decided to go to
Speaker 6: my first SEC game last night. Turnament.
Speaker 3: Well, you had a great experience then for your very
Speaker 3: first one. I feel like the rest of them were
Speaker 3: going to be a letdown after that being your very
Speaker 3: first game.
Speaker 6: Oh, let me let me tell you. Let me tell you, man,
Speaker 6: that whole thing at the end that the turnovers happened
Speaker 6: so quick that when they went up with five seconds,
Speaker 6: it was like everybody got punched in the stomach. It's
Speaker 6: like nobody could breathe and there was moaning, And I
Speaker 6: don't know if anybody breathed during that time out. And
Speaker 6: when the ball came in that they came right at
Speaker 6: us on our side, Otaga did, and I don't think
Speaker 6: everybody breathed in during that five seconds. And when he
Speaker 6: turned that corner against three people, we were all like, oh,
Speaker 6: my God, and please go in. And when it went in,
Speaker 6: it was like it was like a seventy percent war
Speaker 6: because there was like, you know, five tenths of a
Speaker 6: second left and then they the ball the other end
Speaker 6: and everybody was like, you know until that ball hit
Speaker 6: the floor. And then when the ball at the floor,
Speaker 6: I thought we were going to storm the court.
Speaker 3: Well you know, of course, Kentucky never gonna storm the court.
Speaker 3: But I mean that was just a great ending, all
Speaker 3: the greatest endings for a game in the SEC Tournament.
Speaker 6: It was close, it was ridiculous, and we were chanting
Speaker 6: oh way, oh way twenty thirty minutes afterwards as we're leaving,
Speaker 6: like you said, everybody who didn't want to leave, And
Speaker 6: when we leave the half hour later, everybody's chanting a
Speaker 6: way away away, oh way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was definitely a fun atmosphere. I mean, I
Speaker 3: wasn't there, but I could, you know, just watching it
Speaker 3: on TV and just being just a part of all
Speaker 3: of everything going on in Broadway, you know, throughout the day.
Speaker 3: It's it's it's just a level of excitement that you
Speaker 3: only get at the SEC Tournament.
Speaker 6: Yes, it was awesome. So yeah, go go Cats. Let's
Speaker 6: let's win the whole thing.
Speaker 3: All right, thank you, Robert.
Speaker 1: How about that the first SEC tournament trip? I mean,
Speaker 1: like you said, Shane's a little spoiled. Maybe yeah, all
Speaker 1: down here from here after that.
Speaker 3: But good thing you didn't go like you know, last
Speaker 3: year or maybe the year before, you'd have a different
Speaker 3: outlook on alf on the tournament actually is.
Speaker 1: And I feel like that all underlines why last night
Speaker 1: was so special. I mean, I don't think that you
Speaker 1: can hide it that this fan base has been thirsty
Speaker 1: for a win. They had won in Nashville since twenty nineteen, right, So.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it goes to show you at this time last year,
Speaker 4: after our first SEC tournament game, our fan base was
Speaker 4: screaming at our coach as he walked off the court.
Speaker 4: Last night, after the first SEC game, our fan base
Speaker 4: is celebrating this guy on our coach and putting him
Speaker 4: up on a pedestal. So quite a difference one year makes.
Speaker 3: You're exactly right, Let's keep it going. Ryan is on
Speaker 3: the line. Good morning, Ryan, how are you?
Speaker 6: How you doing?
Speaker 7: Billy Shann and Ryan Man, I'm so excited and pumped up.
Speaker 7: What a game we have played him? Other than those
Speaker 7: two guards, I know they got one big man to
Speaker 7: come in, but those two guards were Oklahoma were tough.
Speaker 7: And one thing we've got to do, We've got to
Speaker 7: work on that press, especially what you know, two of
Speaker 7: our top players out or three of our top players out,
Speaker 7: I don't know who needs to bring that ball up
Speaker 7: if if we don't have a you know, a regular
Speaker 7: you know, can't think of his name, but yeah, a
Speaker 7: guy with a shoulder, I can't think his name. I'm
Speaker 7: alwaying forget sometime. Yeah, butler man, we've got to work
Speaker 7: on that press because that kind of reminded me of
Speaker 7: the Dream Game when that game was so good and
Speaker 7: then Louis will put the press on. Then I go
Speaker 7: all the way back to Alabama Birmingham when they play
Speaker 7: Kentucky and pressed them. We definitely got to work on
Speaker 7: that press. And I don't know who should be handling press.
Speaker 7: I know Joby Hall brought to sam Buia when they
Speaker 7: played them again, helping bring it press the Dickie Bill.
Speaker 7: But Buddy, y'all do a fabulous job. And one of
Speaker 7: these days I'm gonna make it down there, and one
Speaker 7: of these days I'm gonna come see you play Shannon
Speaker 7: for I die and one of these days I wanna
Speaker 7: go see Kentucky play, buddy.
Speaker 4: But look, I.
Speaker 7: Appreciate you got being nice to me, and I don't
Speaker 7: mean to remind you about it about that.
Speaker 3: Uhh yeah you want those tickets?
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was so it was so exciting for me, man,
Speaker 7: and you know, Shannon, I had a feeling I was
Speaker 7: gonna win that day before I come out here.
Speaker 6: But guys, brush, y'all have a good way to go.
Speaker 3: Cats, all right, thanks for the call you Ryan, appreciate it.
Speaker 3: I think I remember that day he won those tickets
Speaker 3: in Barsad. He reminded us of that yesterday when he
Speaker 3: called in.
Speaker 1: Uh but yeah, I mean, there's no doubt that it's
Speaker 1: it's tough breaking a full court press when you don't
Speaker 1: have a primary ball handler. You got three guys injured
Speaker 1: on the bench that could be doing that for you.
Speaker 1: So who takes that role? Is it Colin Chandler's role
Speaker 1: to take Shannon? Because I feel like he's been the
Speaker 1: one that's been playing the best.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean maybe so.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 3: You know, Oklahoma saw that there was a weakness there.
Speaker 3: They exploited that late in the game and we're able
Speaker 3: to put some pressure on Kentucky force them to turn
Speaker 3: the ball over. So you know, you got to think
Speaker 3: that other teams, if they're in that situation, they're going
Speaker 3: to look at exactly what Oklahoma did and try to
Speaker 3: applaud that same pressure late in the game.
Speaker 1: Well, it was a fun postgame show. It was a
Speaker 1: little wacky, it being three thirty in the morning and
Speaker 1: all we had the blood moon out.
Speaker 3: Heather called in and so we got we.
Speaker 4: Uh r on the show.
Speaker 3: You let her on?
Speaker 4: So have we have?
Speaker 3: We bonded that bridge. So it's all good. It's all
Speaker 3: water under the bridge now good. See look at you.
Speaker 3: I'm so proud of you. It's almost like you're growing up.
Speaker 1: Sure, well, thanks buddy, I wish I could be in Nashville.
Speaker 1: Looks like you guys are having a good time. How
Speaker 1: was the Tin Roof show yesterday? I mean that's one
Speaker 1: of the biggest crowds that we get all year.
Speaker 3: Right, it was great. Uh The first person in line
Speaker 3: yesterday Billy four am, four o'clock in the morning, So
Speaker 3: I know you haven't been asleep. I don't think that
Speaker 3: that person probably did either. So we just had a
Speaker 3: great crowd out there. It's you know, the most fun
Speaker 3: show that we do all year. So a lot of
Speaker 3: people are there, were there hanging out the entire day.
Speaker 4: Saw some people that were there at the show that
Speaker 4: were still there when you did your concert at fourth
Speaker 4: They were there from the morning show and then stayed there.
Speaker 3: Now that's impressive because even I went home after the
Speaker 3: KSR show and took like a you know, thirty minute
Speaker 3: nap and then came back. But to stay there all
Speaker 3: day and then stay through the show both shows takes
Speaker 3: an effort. Yeah, so big thanks to everybody who came
Speaker 3: out yesterday. And like I said, it's it's always so
Speaker 3: much fun to do that show because of the level
Speaker 3: of excitement that everybody has.
Speaker 1: Well, the support of Big Blue Nation is incredible and
Speaker 1: it looks like Big Blue Nation added one person to
Speaker 1: their list yesterday as John Gruden, the former football coach,
Speaker 1: got a care package from Mark Pulvi.
Speaker 3: Did you happened to see that video Shannon? I did?
Speaker 3: That was really cool. Yeah, we got Chucky on her side. Now,
Speaker 3: John Gruden getting the the unboxing of the the UK
Speaker 3: Was it a hoodie or a shirt? I saw it,
Speaker 3: but I couldn't remember a cople other thing. He had
Speaker 3: some shorts.
Speaker 1: I'm going to send you a picture of my John
Speaker 1: Gruden bibblehead, so you know that that we were on
Speaker 1: John Gruden Way before he was on.
Speaker 3: I had a UK fan yesterday at Tin Roof. Show
Speaker 3: up and bring me. I haven't opened it yet, but
Speaker 3: it's nicely folded up. It's a Kentucky It's like a
Speaker 3: vintage jacket. He caught it a starter jacket, but I
Speaker 3: guess it is. It's not like a big puffy one though,
Speaker 3: but it's like a vintage UK jacket.
Speaker 4: It looks like the one to me, like you would
Speaker 4: wearing the dugout of your baseball guy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, one of those like in the nineties, like if
Speaker 3: if you have one of those cool vintage jackets. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but not like the big puffy ones, just kind of like, uh,
Speaker 3: starter something like that. I'm not sure, but anyway, I'll
Speaker 3: tweet it out later on when I get back to
Speaker 3: the hotel room with my with my key in that case. Yeah,
Speaker 3: find it might actually be it is it is? Yeah,
Speaker 3: so I've got it here then, Okay, I think, isn't
Speaker 3: it there's a white bag in there. I think that's
Speaker 3: my equipment. I don't think. Yeah, anyway, I'll tweet it
Speaker 3: out later on for you.
Speaker 1: Billy, all right, please do a five nine two two
Speaker 1: two eight seven. We'll take a couple of calls. In
Speaker 1: our final segment, we'll look ahead to the weekend. You know,
Speaker 1: selection Sunday. Is this Sunday, guys, I know it's coming
Speaker 1: up quick.
Speaker 3: It's here.
Speaker 1: I mean, let's let's go, best time of the year.
Speaker 1: We'll take a break and be right back here on
Speaker 1: the ks Apprecia, welcome back to our final segment here
Speaker 1: on the KSR pre Show.
Speaker 3: It's a Friday.
Speaker 1: It's Billy and the Dude and Ryan Lemon joining us.
Speaker 4: Guys.
Speaker 1: We got some games in the SEC Tournament today. Kentucky
Speaker 1: is a five and a half point dog against Alabama.
Speaker 1: In the late game, Florida will take on Missouri after
Speaker 1: they beat Mississippi State. It's Texas versus Tennessee in the
Speaker 1: second game of the day, and the first game of
Speaker 1: the day, starting at twelveth Central, is Auburn and Old
Speaker 1: miss Do you guys think that there are any.
Speaker 3: Upsets in today's seth oh, I'm sure there will be.
Speaker 3: I don't know which one, which one?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Most likely one, you think, Yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Mean I would say Kentucky, but without Butler, I don't
Speaker 3: know that I feel that great about the game. But
Speaker 3: if we had Butler healthy, I would pick Kentucky to
Speaker 3: beat Alabama today. You see any times, right, it's very
Speaker 3: hard to beat anybody three times, no matter.
Speaker 4: And like I said before, Kentucky played Alabama really really well,
Speaker 4: and rup they just hit a couple more two more
Speaker 4: shots than we did. That they're without Boler when they
Speaker 4: have Mark Sears, I mean, it's it is definitely gonna
Speaker 4: be tough. If I had to pick one of the four,
Speaker 4: I I don't. I'm not counting Texas over Tennessee. I'm
Speaker 4: not counting that out right now.
Speaker 3: And Texas is on a run right now there, I mean,
Speaker 3: k not going off Texas A and M yesterday and
Speaker 3: double overtime and.
Speaker 4: They can score in Tennessee. We all we know they
Speaker 4: have trouble scoring.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Billy, what do you think do you think there's
Speaker 3: any upsets today? I'm sure there's gonna be one somewhere. No,
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be a lot of chalk.
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be allowed down from the exciting
Speaker 1: day that we saw yesterday. But you know, with Texas
Speaker 1: beating Texas A and M. They are now the last
Speaker 1: team in in in some bracketologies, at least the one
Speaker 1: that I'm looking at right now, the last four teams
Speaker 1: in Texas is the last one four teams. The number
Speaker 1: This is gonna go down as the greatest college basketball
Speaker 1: conference of all time.
Speaker 3: I think what that means is we need to kick
Speaker 3: South Carolina and LSU out of the sec that you're
Speaker 3: embarrassing us. All okay, we could have had a fourteen
Speaker 3: out of fourteen, you know all of our teams that
Speaker 3: if it weren't for LSU in South Carolina, get them
Speaker 3: out of here.
Speaker 1: Wow, that would be something. But it's it is crazy.
Speaker 1: It looks like Indiana could be the first team out.
Speaker 1: Ryan and Oh that you absolutely hate that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would really cry and lose a lot of
Speaker 4: sleep over that if that ends up happening. I kind
Speaker 4: of wanted to play him though, to be honest, I
Speaker 4: wanted them to get in Kentucky. You play them well.
Speaker 1: Their coach was like, maybe I shouldn't have left so
Speaker 1: early or something like that when they started winning.
Speaker 3: But it looks like they they may fall up short.
Speaker 1: But we've got plenty more college basketball to get two
Speaker 1: selections Sunday on Sunday. So it's an exciting time of year.
Speaker 1: So I'm glad to be a part of it with
Speaker 1: you guys. Let's go back to the phones, though. Well,
Speaker 1: we got a little bit of time left, and I
Speaker 1: believe Derek is on the line.
Speaker 3: Good morning, Derek, good morning. It's up there.
Speaker 6: All right, you got two I got to two things.
Speaker 5: Can you hear me?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, loud and clear.
Speaker 5: Go all right. I'm so excited that we won last night.
Speaker 5: I really, I really did. Even when they went up
Speaker 5: by one point last night, I didn't think we were
Speaker 5: going to lose. I still thought we were gonna win.
Speaker 5: And I also wanted to ask Billy what happened to
Speaker 5: the postgame show? When I went to play it this morning,
Speaker 5: I got hour number two.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Billy, come on, what's wrong with you?
Speaker 4: You?
Speaker 3: Scam? Show was was loaded correctly.
Speaker 1: I listened to some of it last night, so maybe
Speaker 1: you were just uh, maybe you need to refresh your app.
Speaker 3: Maybe we need to try that.
Speaker 5: All right, I'll try that.
Speaker 3: All right, take a good one. All Derek's want to
Speaker 3: call you up and give you a hard time about
Speaker 3: not posting the podcast the.
Speaker 1: Morning you can you can check me if you think
Speaker 1: I've done it wrong, but you need to you need
Speaker 1: to make sure I do it wrong before you you
Speaker 1: check me.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Shannon, Yeah, exactly. So No,
Speaker 3: it's there, I've got it. I've got to pull it
Speaker 3: up right now.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, good, I do want to say, well,
Speaker 1: we've got a couple of minutes left. The Kentucky baseball
Speaker 1: team has finished their non conference schedule. They finished thirteen
Speaker 1: and two. They now start SEC play this weekend. They
Speaker 1: are at number three Georgia And Ryan, do you know
Speaker 1: the name of the Kentucky player that transferred.
Speaker 3: To Georgia over the offseason. Yeah, it was McCarthy, that's right,
Speaker 3: Nolan McCarthy, the center fielder. We had that great moment,
Speaker 3: who I'm slotting, that's it and doing the Spider Man, right,
Speaker 3: He had the Superman slide at home plate.
Speaker 4: You know that that picture they took with him in
Speaker 4: mid air, right, and then he picks packs up and
Speaker 4: leaves and went to Georgia.
Speaker 3: But then they do like the Spider Man pointing thing
Speaker 3: after that? Or am I different? Okay? He was part
Speaker 3: of that.
Speaker 1: He spent three seasons at UK before deciding to leave.
Speaker 1: Our hitting coach also went to Georgia followed him. So
Speaker 1: it's a big weekend, a big series, our conference start
Speaker 1: for the baseball team. We hope they go back to
Speaker 1: the College World Series, and I believe that starts this weekend.
Speaker 1: But guys, it's it's the best time of the year
Speaker 1: because of college basketball, and you guys are down in Nashville.
Speaker 1: What's what's the game plan? You guys gonna maybe take
Speaker 1: it easy, watch some more games. I guess Shannon, you
Speaker 1: don't have a show to perform too, so it'll be
Speaker 1: a little bit easier day for you.
Speaker 3: Right right, Yeah, I think the plan is we're gonna
Speaker 3: obviously KSRS coming up next, and then after that go
Speaker 3: grab some lunch somewhere and then take maybe a couple
Speaker 3: hour nap just to catch up on some of the
Speaker 3: the lost rest that we had from yesterday.
Speaker 4: Pregame shows not till seven again tonight, so we've got
Speaker 4: all afternoon to take a nap and just kind of
Speaker 4: chill and watch the games on our TV and the
Speaker 4: hotel room.
Speaker 3: Billy, I will tell you, I don't know if you
Speaker 3: heard any of the show that Ryan or I did,
Speaker 3: but being credentialed at the SEC tournament. It isn't all
Speaker 3: that it is cracked up to be because we went
Speaker 3: in there that well. I mean, I'm not gonna go
Speaker 3: and tell you the whole story right now, but uh, basically,
Speaker 3: long story short, got in, got credentialed, We go to
Speaker 3: press road, there's no seats, so there's an overflow section,
Speaker 3: we go to sit down, and uh, basically got kicked out.
Speaker 3: Long story short. That was my first day with the media.
Speaker 3: Or is it like, yeah, there's no assigned seat. I
Speaker 3: mean maybe for the big guys, maybe for the big dogs, you.
Speaker 4: Know, first come, first served.
Speaker 3: I guess if you're somebody of importance. But us low
Speaker 3: level media, they to say, just go find a seat
Speaker 3: in the bullpen somewhere, you know. But they go, you
Speaker 3: can't sit here. I go, where am I supposed to sit?
Speaker 3: He goes, I don't know.
Speaker 6: I go.
Speaker 3: Then if you can't tell me where I'm supposed to sit,
Speaker 3: I'm not moving. And this was during the Vandy game.
Speaker 3: Billy and I go, I'm not leaving. So at one
Speaker 3: point he threatened to call the cops, and I go, well,
Speaker 3: go get them.
Speaker 4: WHOA called his bluff? Yeah?
Speaker 3: And he didn't, and uh, you know, there's everybody else
Speaker 3: around me though, Billy, Like, first of all, the people
Speaker 3: weren't fighting for seats there. It wasn't like you know,
Speaker 3: it was in that section. It was half full, and
Speaker 3: nobody else around me had the proper credentials either to
Speaker 3: sit there, and he wasn't kicking them out, So I
Speaker 3: just I just kind of sit there and watched the
Speaker 3: game while other people got can't have your gold jacket on?
