Speaker 3: Clay Automotive, brand new location, chan and brand new building.
Speaker 2: What's going on here today? Well, if you mentioned KSR,
Speaker 2: you get an oil change. You know, our boy Matt
Speaker 2: has it all right back there, Liam, everything good, Okay,
Speaker 2: hold the button, as I was saying, And our boy
Speaker 2: Matt hasn't changed his oil in probably at least a year,
Speaker 2: nineteen eighties. It would be a good time for him
Speaker 2: to come by because if you mentioned KSR, you can
Speaker 2: get a conventional oil change for forty nine ninety nine
Speaker 2: or sixty four ninety nine for a synthetic oil change
Speaker 2: through the end of July.
Speaker 4: Now this, I was on my way over here and
Speaker 4: realize I need an oil change. Maybe doing a commercial.
Speaker 4: I'll just pull the get it, take.
Speaker 2: Me pulled up to the bay. They'll take care of you.
Speaker 3: Now, this is not the legendary Lexingdon hair leader sports
Speaker 3: writer John Clay. Correct, this is enough different, John Clay.
Speaker 4: We met this John Clay. He's excited about his grand
Speaker 4: opening here, and we're excited to be here. But it's
Speaker 4: not the one that wrote for The Harold Leader for
Speaker 4: many years.
Speaker 3: So they've got a brand new building that we're in.
Speaker 3: It's a customer waiting area, super nice area. Here next door,
Speaker 3: they've got another building brand new with twenty bays for
Speaker 3: your automotive needs. And the Chamber of Commerce is gonna
Speaker 3: be out here at noon to a little ribbon cutting.
Speaker 3: So this is literally the first day this place is open.
Speaker 2: This is like the place to be. You got guys
Speaker 2: from the TBT, a lot familiar here today. You're bringing
Speaker 2: in Pikoro later on, right, So is he still gonna
Speaker 2: be on the show? I looked at the list of
Speaker 2: guests that we had on this show, and I don't
Speaker 2: think we've ever had more guests than we're gonna have
Speaker 2: today on the show.
Speaker 3: Well, I wanted to reward everybody that came out today. Look,
Speaker 3: we got a who's who of KSR list. Marsh is
Speaker 3: here after talking trash at the game the other night.
Speaker 4: Nobody talks more trash than Marcia at Memorial Coliseum. On Wines, she.
Speaker 2: Said that somebody said to her sit down, Grandma. I
Speaker 2: can't believe. I can't believe they said that.
Speaker 3: Bring that on. Speaking of Jeff Picicoro, he's only he'll
Speaker 3: be out here for the second hour. He just sent
Speaker 3: me a text apparently a little bit of breaking news
Speaker 3: coming out of a Mark Pope news commerce that just
Speaker 3: happened this point, So leam, we have break. Not the
Speaker 3: greatest news, but apparently Mark Pope said that Cam Williams
Speaker 3: has had surgery on his foot, but with his expect
Speaker 3: to be back and ready by the time the start
Speaker 3: of the season. So you know, we've seen him walk
Speaker 3: around that boot all summer, that's true, rolling around on
Speaker 3: the little what do you call it, scooter? So you
Speaker 3: have it now getting out of the way. So we's
Speaker 3: raining a healthy by the time the season starts, right.
Speaker 4: Hopefully, Pope said, he hopes.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 4: He said he got to ninety percent, then had a
Speaker 4: setback and needed another surgery. So uh, back to waiting
Speaker 4: game on Cam Williams. And then Pope even said they're
Speaker 4: interested in adding another player if they're able. They're looking
Speaker 4: for reclass international whoever. With the rules now they can
Speaker 4: look about anywhere. But he said they're still interested in
Speaker 4: someone else, which is a little concerning. It is what
Speaker 4: is it week five, week six of the summer.
Speaker 2: He was dealing with that injury a little bit last
Speaker 2: year as well, Right, Is that the same injury that
Speaker 2: Cam had?
Speaker 3: It's got to be is that a separate injury. He
Speaker 3: missed so much time last year with the foot injury.
Speaker 2: So I mean, wouldn't you rather him go ahead and
Speaker 2: get the surgery be ready to go by the season
Speaker 2: versus just letting it go and then having that linger
Speaker 2: throughout the season Because we know the first two seasons
Speaker 2: have just been riddled with injuries. The last thing we
Speaker 2: need and Mark Folbe's third year is more injuries.
Speaker 3: But does it concern you that this it's been this
Speaker 3: long and this foot is still not healed up, and.
Speaker 4: Especially guy they're counting on to make such a big
Speaker 4: jump from last year. I mean, if you're not able
Speaker 4: to practice the whole year and you're just ready once
Speaker 4: the season's rolling, it's gonna be hard for him to
Speaker 4: take that next step. You know, he has a lot
Speaker 4: of potential, and if he can heal quickly, I think
Speaker 4: he'll be fine. But you're kind of up against the
Speaker 4: clock now. If he just had more surgery in the
Speaker 4: middle of the summer, so.
Speaker 3: You don't think he'd have two slinging guns out there
Speaker 3: with Mom Silovic and Cam Williams. You take him out
Speaker 3: of the equation. Does that bother you? As far as
Speaker 3: what pos trying to do offensively this year?
Speaker 4: Right now, they're having a hard time even practicing because
Speaker 4: Big Frank still doesn't practice.
Speaker 3: Pap off Frank missed a little bit.
Speaker 4: There's been guys in and out, so they're had just five.
Speaker 2: If Willie can recover in two days from his injury,
Speaker 2: I'm not worried about Cam at all. I mean, come on,
Speaker 2: so will he pop back?
Speaker 4: These guys could come back.
Speaker 2: There's no rules.
Speaker 3: So we're gonna tell you Willie colly Stein here and
Speaker 3: Andrew Harrison. We're gonna talk to them today as TBT.
Speaker 3: Of course, get ready to play their game on Sunday.
Speaker 3: We now know the opponent. It is Beheim's Army Sunday
Speaker 3: at two o'clock at Historic Memorial Costs Um. But we
Speaker 3: have to start the show with the TBT again. Gave
Speaker 3: us another great moment. If you saw the picture Drew
Speaker 3: and Mario posed with Vince Merrill, L's down that prompted
Speaker 3: that prompted a great debate on social media yesterday that
Speaker 3: we have to start with it. And this is from
Speaker 3: a guy named Justin so Forro, who is Justin so Foro.
Speaker 4: Your guess is as good as mine.
Speaker 2: Don't give them too much credit. We're gonna make them
Speaker 2: famous right now. What are you doing? Well?
Speaker 3: This is what he said. When Louisville hires guys like
Speaker 3: Kenny Payne and Vince Morrow, who have regularly been antagonists,
Speaker 3: then come here and immediately flounder in their roles recruiting
Speaker 3: and coaching, and continue smooching up to the lowest common
Speaker 3: denominator KSR goons. At some point you've to question their
Speaker 3: attention intentions, Drew, ks R goons. Just because you got
Speaker 3: a photo with Vince Merrill.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd do it again. You know the meme of
Speaker 4: the girl smiling with the fire behind her, that's that's
Speaker 4: me after TBT. Maybe the joker walking away in dark
Speaker 4: Knight as the building's blowing up. I hit Vince with
Speaker 4: the l's down. I'd do it again, send it to
Speaker 4: his face. And they have had an absolute meltdown.
Speaker 3: They have four hours.
Speaker 4: Since I don't listen to their radio shows. But we
Speaker 4: have some people on the chassboard who listened and said
Speaker 4: we were a big part of their content yesterday. They're
Speaker 4: just the most sensitive bunch and it just makes me
Speaker 4: want to do it even more. I mean, I like
Speaker 4: to get in there and stir the pot a little bit.
Speaker 4: And I completely have ignored their reactions, don't care about it,
Speaker 4: but we have definitely got them rattled over. Remember they
Speaker 4: acted like when they won Game two, they acted like
Speaker 4: they won the national Championship. Suddenly they don't care.
Speaker 2: About TVT standing up on the table after one win.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're a sensitive bunch, but you know, losers lose,
Speaker 4: and that's what happened.
Speaker 3: So that prompted also a tweet from what the U
Speaker 3: of L Sheriff Mark blanken Chip or the sheriff. The
Speaker 3: sheriff gets back into blanken Baker. I'm sorry blanken Baker,
Speaker 3: He says, we lost that game. When Vince Merrill walked
Speaker 3: into Historic Memorial Coliseum wearing blue, we're not all aligned?
Speaker 2: Was it?
Speaker 3: Even?
Speaker 2: I thought it was kind of a shade Vin Vince.
Speaker 4: It was like a turquoise. It was like a turquoise color,
Speaker 4: maybe a teal, And then with the lighting in there
Speaker 4: and memorial. It kind of came off as blue. I
Speaker 4: love that they're freaking out over it. But into Vince's defense,
Speaker 4: this was more of a I would call it a
Speaker 4: spring till, maybe a turkey. Okay, it's not even a
Speaker 4: true green.
Speaker 3: So Vince had to finally respond. He said, all this
Speaker 3: crap about me loving Kentucky is crazy. I went to
Speaker 3: support the Ville. I'm very thankful and blessed to be
Speaker 3: working for Jeff Brohm in the Great U of l.
Speaker 3: All this other crap is straight bs. I look forward
Speaker 3: to seeing the cardination in Nashville November six. So Vince
Speaker 3: has happened to defend himself with his own fans.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel No, I don't feel bad. I was
Speaker 4: gona say. I feel bad for Vince for helping create
Speaker 4: this controversy. Even told me not to do the L's
Speaker 4: down in the photo, but of course I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 4: Our wrists were broken that way that night. But yeah,
Speaker 4: he's having an answer for it.
Speaker 2: Some people, Yeah, some people seem to think just because
Speaker 2: these guys go to the rival, like we're supposed to
Speaker 2: hate them personally, Like you know, we're gonna we're gonna
Speaker 2: have sports hate for Vince. It doesn't mean I hate
Speaker 2: him personally. I still like Vince as a person. I
Speaker 2: think he's a great guy. But we're gonna give him
Speaker 2: crap when he comes on the radio.
Speaker 3: Absolutely he coaches at Louisville. For crying out loud, we
Speaker 3: are going to give him crap. You're gonna give him
Speaker 3: ls down. You see him, get the photo. But Drew,
Speaker 3: you're a ks R goons causing problems over here.
Speaker 4: They can talk about me all they want. I don't
Speaker 4: have a single thought about them. If they didn't exist,
Speaker 4: my life would not change. But uh, when I saw
Speaker 4: Vince walk in after tip off, I told Mario, I said,
Speaker 4: first time out, I'm walking straight across this court and
Speaker 4: talking to Vince and we were cordially asked about baby
Speaker 4: dad life. We were fine. He said, louis is gonna
Speaker 4: win by fifty. A little bit of trash talk, yeah,
Speaker 4: but it's all fun. But they're just so sensitive over there.
Speaker 3: Well, it gets people's emotions high. We're just talking about
Speaker 3: Marsha but trying to cause a fight out there. Memorial
Speaker 3: calls him Andrew Harrison talking more trash. I've ever seen
Speaker 3: him talk in his life. Love during the game. I
Speaker 3: love him on Sunday, so.
Speaker 4: Back and forth on both sides. Ye, passion in the TPT,
Speaker 4: which is what you want to see.
Speaker 2: See right, Like, if you left today and went to
Speaker 2: Loboll Sports Radio, we'd give you a lot of crap
Speaker 2: and I would expect it. We still love you as
Speaker 2: a person. That's the way I see this whole thing
Speaker 2: with Vince.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know correct, we like Vince as a person,
Speaker 3: but we're gonna beat your brains in every time.
Speaker 6: We see you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what until you see the ratings book. We're gonna
Speaker 2: beat in the ratiings.
Speaker 4: Were petty as Louisville Radio, we would be making fun
Speaker 4: of Tres for getting on the table on Monday night.
Speaker 4: I mean, but we would never do that. We would
Speaker 4: never make fun of a guy who acted like he
Speaker 4: won the National Championship by winning one single TBT game
Speaker 4: and then going home two days later.
Speaker 2: But Drew, You're right.
Speaker 3: Their fan base their heads are exploding right now because
Speaker 3: of that picture you took with them. They can't fathom
Speaker 3: that Vince Merril would wear a some blue shirt into
Speaker 3: that game the other night.
Speaker 4: It's amazing what he a simple hand gesture does through
Speaker 4: that fan base. But it's been that way a long time.
Speaker 4: Remember Saderfield back in the day going crazy because the
Speaker 4: football team did it. It upsets them so much and
Speaker 4: if they realized what was going on, they'd stop complaining.
Speaker 4: But it just makes us do it more so we
Speaker 4: can stir the pot and get them all rattled.
Speaker 3: We have a great crowd here at John Clay Automotive.
Speaker 3: Come out and see us. We're on Nicholas phil Road.
Speaker 3: We caught Nicholshil Road, but here in Lincoln where they
Speaker 3: call it Lexington Road. It's a brand new facility. Got
Speaker 3: a ribbon cutting coming up here a little bit. We've
Speaker 3: got caramel nutbars we're gonna share with Oh.
Speaker 2: I can't wait to try those. Now, let me ask you,
Speaker 2: did you actually make these yourself? Because you said before,
Speaker 2: even though this was in a Rick Patino's cookbook, that
Speaker 2: you had never actually even tried to make these on
Speaker 2: your own. You said, your your your ex wife, ex
Speaker 2: wife's mom, X wife's mom. Okay, X wives bo made
Speaker 2: these before. Now you're telling me that these nutbars you
Speaker 2: made them yourself, no help at all.
Speaker 3: Yoga girl made ninety nine percent.
Speaker 2: Of okay, so you didn't make them gun. So now
Speaker 2: this is on yoga girl. You putting on yoga girl people.
Speaker 3: I had to unwrap the little caramels out of the bag,
Speaker 3: so melt the caramels. That's pretty much all idea.
Speaker 2: These aren't even Ry Limit's nutbars. These are yoga girls.
Speaker 3: But it's my recipe, Shannon, who came up with it,
Speaker 3: my ex wife's mother.
Speaker 2: It's your ex wife's mother recipe. It's not it's not
Speaker 2: your recipe.
Speaker 3: So we're gonna share some caramel nutbars. We're gonna talk
Speaker 3: to Andrew Harrison. We come back. Willie colly Stein's here
Speaker 3: as well. Jeff Pacarl join us. Had eleven and come
Speaker 3: on out and see us. John Clay Automotive, Nicholas phil
Speaker 3: Road got a great crowd. Thanks for coming out. We
Speaker 3: right back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome back Kentucky
Speaker 3: Sports Radio Live at John Play Automotive on Nicholas Phil Road.
Speaker 3: Kind of their grand opening today, Shannon.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, a nice facility. When I came in, they
Speaker 2: were laying down the straw over the grass. That's how
Speaker 2: new it is. They're just just taking the you know,
Speaker 2: the locks off the doors and opening it up for
Speaker 2: the first time.
Speaker 3: Today. So tires all change brakes, transmission, suspension, they can
Speaker 3: do it all. Engine repair, John Clayuto Motive out here,
Speaker 3: Nicholas Field Roads will come check them out. Grand opening today.
Speaker 3: How about a big welcome for Andrew Harrison who's joining
Speaker 3: us on KSR. Andrew kind of talked about it. You
Speaker 3: brought a new level of energy in this game against Louisville.
Speaker 3: I've seen you talk more trash in these three games,
Speaker 3: and I've seen you talk when you were two years
Speaker 3: at Kentucky.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I mean just being able to be in
Speaker 6: that robbery and stuff, and you know, it's not a
Speaker 6: real game, so I can kind of say whatever you
Speaker 6: want to say, has some stuff to get off my chest.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 4: Is that just being a general competitor or is it
Speaker 4: the other team adding to that fire, or is it
Speaker 4: just just being the competitor in you.
Speaker 6: It's the competitor, honestly. Man. If it's a game, I'm
Speaker 6: trying to win, I'll do anything. So it's just fun
Speaker 6: being in that environment, playing against those guys and beating
Speaker 6: those guys as always.
Speaker 2: So speaking of trash talking, I kind of felt like
Speaker 2: your brother's trash talking you a little bit on Twitter.
Speaker 2: Did you see that he retweeted this tweet that said
Speaker 2: Andrew Harrison will become the first and only Harrison brother
Speaker 2: to have a loss against Louisville following this gime. Why
Speaker 2: would he do that to you? Is that kind of
Speaker 2: a relationship that you have with your brother?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 2: You guys just kind of always digging at each other.
Speaker 6: Not really, I didn't know that he did that.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I show you. I can't believe he did
Speaker 2: that to you.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna talk to him about that. But no, I
Speaker 6: mean well, I mean we'll give him a you know, yeah,
Speaker 6: lose a battle the Wooden War, no worries. You won
Speaker 6: the serious so you're still undefeated always of course.
Speaker 3: Now this is your third year playing on tvt third
Speaker 3: year yep, And I heard you mentioned you had a
Speaker 3: great SoundBite. You're talking about how you kind of helped
Speaker 3: change maybe your legacy coming back and playing on this
Speaker 3: TBT team compared about where you were playing in the
Speaker 3: UK or two years at UK, Like you got the
Speaker 3: reignite with the fan base and reconnect with the fan
Speaker 3: base and kind of enjoy that part of being a
Speaker 3: Kentucky Wildcat and maybe you didn't get to enjoy when
Speaker 3: you were here a couple of years ago.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean in terms of like legacy and stuff.
Speaker 6: I mean, I don't think it's anything that you can
Speaker 6: go back in time and change. It's nothing like when
Speaker 6: you're an actual player here. And I mean we accomplished
Speaker 6: a lot when we were here, me and Willie. So
Speaker 6: I don't really worry about that part. I know the
Speaker 6: fans are great, and I know that if you you know,
Speaker 6: you put it on the court, we're not We don't
Speaker 6: play at University of get Zuch you no more. So
Speaker 6: if you put it on the court, they're gonna support you.
Speaker 6: So I don't really worry about that. To come here,
Speaker 6: I come here to have fun and be able to
Speaker 6: play in Leston and playing in front of the fans.
Speaker 6: So I don't really worry about that part.
Speaker 4: Though I noticed Wednesday night in the in the big
Speaker 4: game late you were you were sideline, maybe hobbled a
Speaker 4: little bit all that diving on the floor and playing hard.
Speaker 4: Are you Are you in good shape for Sunday.
Speaker 6: I'm in good shape for Sunday. I'll be a fine
Speaker 6: Like I said, man, that's it's so enjoyable being able
Speaker 6: to play here and being able to play with like
Speaker 6: Willie and other guys from here that I went to
Speaker 6: school with, and just being able to battle and not
Speaker 6: have to worry about all the politics and stuff that
Speaker 6: goes along with basketball. Just being able to play. So
Speaker 6: it's so enjoyable and I'm gonna try to come back
Speaker 6: into the wheels fall off here. So I enjoyed so much.
Speaker 2: So I'm curious about practice. Talking about practice, how much
Speaker 2: practice did you guys actually get before the first games?
Speaker 2: Do you guys have a couple of weeks or what
Speaker 2: are we talking about here?
Speaker 6: With the full team, we didn't have any practices.
Speaker 2: That's amazing though. Let me think about that. You go
Speaker 2: out there to go practice.
Speaker 6: We've goaly had like six six to seven guys for
Speaker 6: about five days and that's pretty much it. But the
Speaker 6: guys that we have are so great guys that didn't
Speaker 6: go here, Darryl, James, Sean, everybody is. So they're they're
Speaker 6: a great, great guy So it's easy to implement them
Speaker 6: into the the BBN kind of what we do in
Speaker 6: the in the system and how we operate.
Speaker 2: So gotta get chemistry together quick, no time to no
Speaker 2: time to mess around.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, So now you play Sunday at two o'clock
Speaker 3: against Beaheim's army. Do we know anything about them?
Speaker 6: Yeah, we know. We know something about him. We've been
Speaker 6: we were scalting and watching them yesterday. I'm sure Hood
Speaker 6: gonna come up with a good game plan. We're just
Speaker 6: gonna practice for the next two days and try to
Speaker 6: get ready for him, give him everything we got.
Speaker 4: You mentioned Hood and there're being new guys, but you
Speaker 4: played with William, played with John Hood. What's John Hood
Speaker 4: like now as your coach? Compared to win he was,
Speaker 4: like I said, probably a senior. I think your freshman
Speaker 4: year as a teammate with.
Speaker 6: You, Hoodie. I mean, he's great man. He's he has
Speaker 6: the demeanor of a coach, you know. So he knows
Speaker 6: the game really well. He can kind of be kind
Speaker 6: of a I'm not sure if I can say, you know,
Speaker 6: kind of a buttthole sometimes said. But he knows the
Speaker 6: game so well, he loves the game so well. He
Speaker 6: knows the culture here, he knows what it takes to win,
Speaker 6: he knows what it takes to be a good player,
Speaker 6: and he puts the work in for us to be
Speaker 6: able to be prepared for the next game. So you
Speaker 6: can't ask for much more. We appreciate Hoodie for the
Speaker 6: stuff that he does.
Speaker 5: For sure.
Speaker 3: You guys got the scrimmage against the current team. Can
Speaker 3: he get a little scouting report or anything about the
Speaker 3: current team?
Speaker 6: Oh man, that was like a week ago, feeling like
Speaker 6: I did so much. I mean, what I do know
Speaker 6: they have great length. They can really shoot the ball.
Speaker 6: So it's so early in the season, I can't really
Speaker 6: you know, see everything that they have. Like you said,
Speaker 6: cams hurt, big fella, big Frank, one of the biggest
Speaker 6: dudes I've ever seen. Oh my goodness. But I mean,
Speaker 6: they really can shoot the ball really well. They have
Speaker 6: some toughness. But it's early, so we don't really know.
Speaker 6: But for July or July fifteenth or whenever we we scrimmage,
Speaker 6: they look pretty pretty good. So I'm excited what they do,
Speaker 6: and I'm sure Coach Pope won't have them ready.
Speaker 4: When you scrimmage in that building, answer those guys, does
Speaker 4: it kind of bring back some memories looking around, see
Speaker 4: the old locker room and the whole place you were
Speaker 4: in every day for two years.
Speaker 6: Walking around the building brings back memories. So just walking
Speaker 6: in there, it just gives you so much nostalgia and
Speaker 6: being able to be back and give back to the players,
Speaker 6: and they ask you questions and things like that. You know,
Speaker 6: it was a little different when we've been here, but
Speaker 6: it's the same. It's bbing at the end of the day,
Speaker 6: so you know they're going to ask you questions. It's
Speaker 6: high expectations and I mean, just trying to let the
Speaker 6: guys know what's gonna happen in the upcoming season.
Speaker 3: I really love how Coach Pope is kind of trying
Speaker 3: to intertwine his team with you guys, kind of well,
Speaker 3: you know, learn the history of the game and talk
Speaker 3: to these guys who have been here before, and you
Speaker 3: can have your scrimmages. They show up and watch you
Speaker 3: guys play the other night. I mean, that's gona make
Speaker 3: you guys feel pretty good. You could be connected with
Speaker 3: the current guys.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah. The support that they give us is can't
Speaker 6: even put words until it's like, we're so appreciative for
Speaker 6: Coach Pope to be able to let us come back
Speaker 6: and share the space with the guys, just be able
Speaker 6: to be able to watch and be able to see
Speaker 6: how they operate, how Coach Pope operates it. It's it's
Speaker 6: so enjoyable. Like I said, man, I just I love
Speaker 6: coming back here now and I'm gonna keep doing until
Speaker 6: I can.
Speaker 2: Outside of TVT are you still playing in other leagues?
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously you're still in game shape that or
Speaker 2: what are you doing outside of TVT.
Speaker 6: Oh momy I played and I played in Germany this
Speaker 6: past year, so I mean I'm going into my thirteenth
Speaker 6: for twelve or thirteenth year professional Wow.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that makes you feel old. Read that comic the
Speaker 3: other day feeling old. Yeah, Andrew Harrison's thirteenth year playing
Speaker 3: pro ball. That makes you feel old.
Speaker 6: Kids come up to me now, I'll watched you when
Speaker 6: I was five years old. I'm like, oh my goodness,
Speaker 6: I'm old. But AhR team yes, sir to me and everything.
Speaker 6: I'm like, oh man, but it's okay.
Speaker 2: So what's life like over there? I mean for somebody,
Speaker 2: I don't assume you didn't live over there before playing there,

Speaker 6: get adapt.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 6: I don't do much. I don't need much to be
Speaker 6: able to, you know, thrive. So anywhere I go it's
Speaker 6: Germany is just like anywhere else. Anywhere you go. If
Speaker 6: you're looking for a show, you can find it. If
Speaker 6: you're not, you won't. So it's fine. It's cold like that.
Speaker 2: Are you fluent in German? Now you speak absolutely? I
Speaker 2: know you're not.
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 4: Do you have a favorite place you've been other than Germany?
Speaker 4: Now we said you've been around the world already.
Speaker 6: Greece is probably my favorite, just because of the weather,
Speaker 6: the way that people treat you. The basketball culture is
Speaker 6: crazy over there in Greece, so that was probably my
Speaker 6: favorite place I played well buy food wise, food wise.
Speaker 2: Who has better food America or Germany?
Speaker 6: To me? America? I don't know about the how healthy,
Speaker 6: how much more healthy it is, but America beats is
Speaker 6: the best place for food in the world to be
Speaker 6: have been, so.
Speaker 4: We talk about how BBN is everywhere. Have you crossed
Speaker 4: paths with any other former players in these leagues? Played
Speaker 4: against them? Maybe even run some fans in the places.
Speaker 6: I have, I played against some davy On Mintz this year. Yeah, man,
Speaker 6: I played against so many guy I just don't remember.
Speaker 6: But I mean every year I play against somebody that
Speaker 6: went to can tell you either when I was there
Speaker 6: or before me or after me. So, man, you know
Speaker 6: you're gonna always see some guys in the basketball community
Speaker 6: from from from UK.
Speaker 4: Never pass any fans on the street or at any
Speaker 4: of your games.
Speaker 6: In Turkey, I had some fans from from UK, which
Speaker 6: was crazy. I mean, I gotta I gotta gift from
Speaker 6: from my niece that I that's a week old from
Speaker 6: a fan in the stand. It was crazy with her
Speaker 6: name on it. So, like I said, and these fans
Speaker 6: are so crazy, and I'm so appreciatd to be here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, congrats to Aaron new Dad.
Speaker 3: You're you're an uncle.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm an uncle. I haven't met her yet. I
Speaker 6: haven't met her yet. I'm excited. I can't wait to
Speaker 6: meet her.
Speaker 3: Think I talk about your guy sitting over here, Willie
Speaker 3: Colch time got the bad ankle. The word is that
Speaker 3: he liked basically said, there's no way I'm gonna sit out.
Speaker 3: I am gonna play no matter how hurt I am.
Speaker 3: What did that help you guys? How to lift you
Speaker 3: guys up? Seeing him out there kind of on a
Speaker 3: bad wheel, go out and try to play against Montrez harrol,
Speaker 3: I mean inspiration.
Speaker 6: We all know that Willy didn't didn't have to do that,
Speaker 6: so we know he put himself at risk and we
Speaker 6: appreciate it. We try to. I tried to body on
Speaker 6: the line too as well, because I see him being
Speaker 6: able to take that risk. So it's inspiring. Man. It's
Speaker 6: like if he can do it, why why anybody else
Speaker 6: can do it? So we're here for a reason, and
Speaker 6: there's no point to not lay lay your body on
Speaker 6: the line and give it one hundred percent.
Speaker 4: How fun is the eelm ending? It looks awesome. I
Speaker 4: wouldn't want it in real basketball, but for this setting,
Speaker 4: Will is not in his head.
Speaker 6: Sokay, it's stressful though. You want to be up by
Speaker 6: at least ten fifteen when you go into that elm.
Speaker 6: If not, then every shot, you know, every shot is
Speaker 6: a big deal. But I mean it makes the tournament exciting.
Speaker 6: Definitely definitely makes a tournament exciting.
Speaker 4: It seems to turns guys into trying to be a hero,
Speaker 4: like it might be a little more ball hog and
Speaker 4: it has turned on in the offense to flow because
Speaker 4: they don't want to make that shot. Is that the case?
Speaker 6: I'm not sure. Me I just I've always been we
Speaker 6: just want to win. I don't care about making a
Speaker 6: last shot or yeah, I don't care about the glory.
Speaker 6: We win, everybody gets the glory. So no, I'm not
Speaker 6: sure when.
Speaker 4: You hit the big winning Louisville last year, right, that
Speaker 4: was two yearss ago years ago? That crazy game.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, that was that was that was super fun.
Speaker 6: That was crazy game.

Speaker 3: Clay not the former Kentucky Lexing hand Leader sports Rider,
Speaker 3: but we met the new John Clay and uh we'll
Speaker 3: come out here for all your automotive needs. Before we
Speaker 3: get to Willie Ulla Steon. I do have to see.
Speaker 3: I thought I got a response for Vince Merrill.
Speaker 2: Oh you got a response for Vince.
Speaker 3: Well it popped up Vince Meryl. I thought he was responding.
Speaker 3: But this kind of guy he is, he said, it's
Speaker 3: the only thing.
Speaker 6: He said.
Speaker 3: Glad you back on radio. I was praying for you, buddy.
Speaker 3: See See that's why we liked Van.
Speaker 2: Even though he's a dirty bird and he's not big
Speaker 2: dog anymore. He's what Drew.
Speaker 4: You're gonna make me do it.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna make you do it. Yeah, a little chia dog.
Speaker 2: It's okay. We still love them.
Speaker 3: Give it up for Willie Collie Stein Willy making back
Speaker 3: to back appearances on ks are. We caught up with
Speaker 3: him yesterday with Maggie Davis out on the golf course yesterday.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what did you shoot?
Speaker 4: Sounds like a good drive, It's okay.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we end up winning that tournament. I played with
Speaker 5: h Mary Keane. Uh, she played it. She's good, she's nasty.
Speaker 3: So you had a ringer.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: What's the strong part of your game? Is that the drive?
Speaker 2: You more of a putter like, It's like, what's the
Speaker 2: strong suit of your golf game?
Speaker 3: I'll do it all.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say that's the strongest part is I
Speaker 5: could do pretty much anything out there.
Speaker 3: But I've always heard what you want. Golf is a
Speaker 3: little harder for taller guys. You know you got that
Speaker 3: long swing. Have you had a problem with it?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 5: I have a I have a really unique lag. So
Speaker 5: I've been told it's a lot like Nella Cordy.
Speaker 4: Look at this guy knowing ball over here. Yeah, it's
Speaker 4: going through the opga.
Speaker 5: I heard, I heard a good tempo.
Speaker 2: How's the ankle after golf yesterday? Are you feeling good? Yes?
Speaker 6: It's nice and moves there you go, all right?
Speaker 3: The best way to rehab injured ankle go out and
Speaker 3: walk eighteen holes on the golf course.
Speaker 5: You gotta get on the different terrain, let your feet
Speaker 5: kind of switch around and move.
Speaker 4: So, since we heard from you on the golf course yesterday,
Speaker 4: you all found out your opponent. Did you all get
Speaker 4: together last night and watch that game last night between
Speaker 4: Baham's Army and haul In or whatever their name is.
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, we are.
Speaker 5: We were all down there and the lobby watching last night,
Speaker 5: trying to trying to get a little scout.
Speaker 3: What is the scout?
Speaker 5: I just think that our our switch game is going
Speaker 5: to be too much for him. They just got shooters,
Speaker 5: not a lot of attackers. They got probably got one
Speaker 5: slasher and a rim runner, and we know how to
Speaker 5: stop the rim runner, so that's not too difficult. It's
Speaker 5: really just staying focused on, you know, switching out on
Speaker 5: screens and making sure the shooters on go open.
Speaker 4: Looks you all had youth on your side too. They
Speaker 4: have at least two players older than DeAndre Liggans. They
Speaker 4: have one that's about turn to turn forty and one
Speaker 4: that's about to turn thirty nine. So maybe and you'll
Speaker 4: have the fresh legs being off longer, so maybe that
Speaker 4: could play in your advantage too. But overall, you just
Speaker 4: excited to get back to Memorial should be a good crowd,
Speaker 4: being a weekend, I would.
Speaker 5: Think, just just just being able to secure another game
Speaker 5: in front of these fan base and this this community
Speaker 5: is its special to play and so the fact that
Speaker 5: we keep winning, it's all here is it's amazing.
Speaker 2: I heard coach John Hood on with Tom Leach this
Speaker 2: morning and he was talking about you and saying that
Speaker 2: you told John Hood that you didn't want any help
Speaker 2: on the double down when the ball came to Montrez.
Speaker 2: You just wanted to lock them down one on one.
Speaker 2: Is that true? Is that? Is that what you told
Speaker 2: coach Hud?
Speaker 5: That's what I told her. Yeah, man, I'd rather live
Speaker 5: or die by it. You know, if he's gonna go
Speaker 5: off and beat us, cool, go through me. If not,
Speaker 5: I want that on my shoulders.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 3: You guys running the pick and roll with Archie so
Speaker 3: well in the second half, I guess that's gonna be
Speaker 3: the scout for CircUse. They got to stop that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, yeah, good luck.
Speaker 4: You mentioned like last night you got together and watched
Speaker 4: the game. You all have been there a couple weeks now,
Speaker 4: most of you are you pretty much just all hanging
Speaker 4: out as a group around Like so, I know you've
Speaker 4: snuck off to the golf course and stuff, but I've
Speaker 4: seen other events You've had signings and meeting greets. Is
Speaker 4: it pretty much just full TBT while you're in outside
Speaker 4: of a few rounds of golf.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, Well, you know, we got the Mordiy golf business,
Speaker 5: so I'm gonna always push that and try to get
Speaker 5: the brand going as much as I can out here.
Speaker 5: So that's kind of my job at this point. TVT
Speaker 5: is like my hobby right now, even though we got
Speaker 5: a chance to get some chicken from it. But you know,
Speaker 5: it's more the camaraderie, which is why we like golf,
Speaker 5: is the camaraderie, right So, like right now, the most
Speaker 5: thing that I miss about playing balls, like the locker
Speaker 5: room talk, being around the guys and just kind of
Speaker 5: like you know, you get inspired, Like you said, you
Speaker 5: get inspired by these guys. You know what guys is
Speaker 5: going through. You might be overseas and you watch them
Speaker 5: overseas and like the overseas grind is is different.
Speaker 6: It's not.
Speaker 5: It's not for the week. So guys that go over
Speaker 5: there and thirteen years, you know what I mean, that's
Speaker 5: big time. That's as It's a blessing.
Speaker 4: Now that you're so into golf, we have to ask
Speaker 4: the golf question that comes up a lot. If you
Speaker 4: can have your dream for something, you're playing with three
Speaker 4: other people, dead or alive. What's the perfect round of golf?
Speaker 4: Who are you playing with?
Speaker 6: Will Ferrell the Hawk?
Speaker 3: Good answer? Watching that hurt? It's terrible?
Speaker 6: Is it good?
Speaker 5: I don't know what people are telling that is great?
Speaker 3: Really, we found the one guy that likes them.
Speaker 4: Who's on the other card? You got two more?
Speaker 5: Okay, we got I would probably go with Tiger give me,
Speaker 5: give me a legit golfer and then I'm part of it.
Speaker 4: Or yeah, yeah, you're one of the floor. But if
Speaker 4: you want some you can break the rules. You someone else.
Speaker 5: Now, it's cool those two me and let's see who.
Speaker 6: The good one?
Speaker 2: John daily would be fun. It's like my spear down
Speaker 2: John Daly, That's what I wouldn't want it. I'm not
Speaker 2: even a golfer. I don't want to hang out with
Speaker 2: John Daly.
Speaker 5: Go ahead and bring some of them. John daies to
Speaker 5: Charles Barkley, he tries to play.
Speaker 3: So how good of a golfer are you? I mean,
Speaker 3: what do you have a handicap? What's your handicap? Well,
Speaker 3: what's your low score?
Speaker 5: The lowest I've ever scored is a seventy three. The
Speaker 5: lowest handicap I got to it's like a six to four.
Speaker 5: Right now, I'm in the I'm in a good pocket
Speaker 5: right now. He can play a little sandbagger man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, speaking bag there, I got a story. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna I'll say it flator of bisku right now. There's
Speaker 3: a golf club here in Kentucky called the Lakewood Country Club.
Speaker 3: They had the two man Scramble. I guess last weekend
Speaker 3: two man tournament. These two college kids show up. I
Speaker 3: guess they sandbagged on Saturday and shot a three over.
Speaker 3: The next day, they're in the fifth flight and they
Speaker 3: win it with a ten under fair foul.
Speaker 5: That's the handicaps is. I mean, that's what we battle.
Speaker 5: That's why it's like I feel like it's a no
Speaker 5: man's land. If you're an under ten handicap, you're a
Speaker 5: no man's land. Like I could go play against sixty
Speaker 5: year old dude across the street and he's got a
Speaker 5: chance to beat me because he can score a double one.
Speaker 5: I have to get a birdie, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5: Like since the handicasp system's kind of fly, so I
Speaker 5: you gotta get with it or you're going to get
Speaker 5: out of it, you know what I mean, Or you're
Speaker 5: gonna lose. So that's why I say, now I'm like
Speaker 5: an eight ten handicaps instead of a six, So now
Speaker 5: I don't lose against.
Speaker 3: The sand bag a little bit.
Speaker 6: Got sand bag?
Speaker 4: Yeah you mentioned it yesterday. But plug, you're doing your
Speaker 4: own golf event coming up. You're just not out there

Speaker 3: Even need to give one a shout out. Today is
Speaker 3: the anniversary of Hubby and Sarah Jefferson.
Speaker 4: Oh okay.
Speaker 3: The reason we're doing this because Sarah just sent me
Speaker 3: a note that she forgot.
Speaker 4: Oh she forgot. I thought she was gonna call out
Speaker 4: Hubby for forgetting.
Speaker 3: No, she called out herself for forgetting. Today was their anniversary.
Speaker 3: So she's asking us tried to smooth things over with Hubby.
Speaker 4: Okay, well that's a marriage bill's on honesty. If she's
Speaker 4: telling on herself, that's very good of her. Did she
Speaker 4: want you to say that or does she just want
Speaker 4: us to wish them over the air.
Speaker 3: No, she said, you guys got to help me out.
Speaker 3: You got to help me out and kind of smooth
Speaker 3: things over with Hubby because she forgot their anniversary today.
Speaker 3: So Hubby, Sarah loves you. We're getting a little older.
Speaker 3: Sometimes things slip her mind a little bit. We forget to,
Speaker 3: you know, brush our teeth or what flush the toilet?
Speaker 2: Who forgets to brush their teeth?
Speaker 3: They brushed my teeth today. Yesterday you had a chance
Speaker 3: to talk to some of the UK basketball players. Don't
Speaker 3: want to get that in before Jeff Pacorrel joined us
Speaker 3: and talk a lot of football. What did you learn?
Speaker 3: What did you find out? Who did you talk to
Speaker 3: you yesterday?
Speaker 4: With the UK basketball team, they've been given about two
Speaker 4: or three players a week, but a lot of times
Speaker 4: it's up against the radio show we're doing cover zero,
Speaker 4: So I haven't gone to any of them until this week.
Speaker 4: I went yesterday. I'm telling you all right now, if
Speaker 4: you don't listen to anything else, I say, listen to this.
Speaker 4: You're gonna love Big Frank.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he is awesome, Patball Frank.
Speaker 4: Big Frank is amazing, great personality, kind of a nerd.
Speaker 4: He has a master's degree in AI. He talked about
Speaker 4: when he was little he would take robots apart and
Speaker 4: put him back together. Really, we talked to him for
Speaker 4: thirty minutes. I even went back and just watched the
Speaker 4: video again because Frank was so fun. He's still not practicing,
Speaker 4: and he didn't get into a lot of how long
Speaker 4: it'll be. He thinks he's close, But every once in
Speaker 4: a while, we just get these personalities we latch onto.
Speaker 4: Just a big, lovable guy. Kind of got a little
Speaker 4: Oscar to him. I'd say, huh, But I could have
Speaker 4: listened to Big Frank for two hours yesterday. So everyone,
Speaker 4: you're gonna love Big Frank. Whatever you think about him,
Speaker 4: now it's gonna be even better. He laughed at you know,
Speaker 4: the picture came out when they moved in he and
Speaker 4: Zoom or together, and everybody thought he was Zoom's dad.
Speaker 4: He was laughing about that as much as anyone said.
Speaker 4: The players call him grandpa. I mean really just a
Speaker 4: genuinely great guy, it seems. And I loved hearing from
Speaker 4: him on basketball things. I spent most of my time
Speaker 4: with Alex Wilkins, really excited about him. Very confident guy,
Speaker 4: not like arrogant cock, but just really believes in himself.
Speaker 4: He was kind of under recruited and underrated coming out
Speaker 4: of Boston. Ends up at Furman. We had a great
Speaker 4: freshman year and now he's finally at Kentucky. He's gonna
Speaker 4: get buckets and he's excited to do it. He also
Speaker 4: talked about how their defense is much better than people
Speaker 4: are giving them credit for. Said with their link, they
Speaker 4: can get into passing lanes. I said, what would surprise
Speaker 4: people the most if they could see this team? And
Speaker 4: he said, we hear criticisms about the defense. I don't
Speaker 4: know who say that, definitely not this radio show, but
Speaker 4: he said, the defense this early will surprise people. Dohn
Speaker 4: Hawthorne was also available freshman. I didn't give as much
Speaker 4: time with him, but overall, Wilkins and Frank were great
Speaker 4: to talk to and I'm really looking forward to both
Speaker 4: those guys.
Speaker 3: Well, you mentioned two guys that you don't get a
Speaker 3: lot of publicity. We don't talk about him a lot,
Speaker 3: but are very important Big Frank, papall Frank. He is
Speaker 3: the backup from alacim Reno the hit. How important he
Speaker 3: is They need him to be the backup guy.
Speaker 4: There was a moment where Wilkins was done and he's
Speaker 4: walking by and he gets in the media crowd and
Speaker 4: to ask a question, you know they do some times,
Speaker 4: and he asked Frank you bring, uh, you know what,
Speaker 4: what do you bring to the team in the game.
Speaker 4: And Frank said, at any moment, I can kind of
Speaker 4: flip the game with my energy and maybe Donk's blocks.
Speaker 4: And then Alex said, he's exactly right, that's what That's
Speaker 4: what Frank's gonna do. I did ask Frank to graul
Speaker 4: for me because there's rumors that he's gral He wouldn't
Speaker 4: do that. He's saving that for the season. But a
Speaker 4: great guy there. Wilkins also mentioned I didn't realize this.
Speaker 4: I don't know if it had been out there, but
Speaker 4: he grew up. He loved Terrence Clark, he idolized him.
Speaker 4: He said he has about three thousand photos of Hilm
Speaker 4: with Terrence Clark because they're both from Boston kidding, so
Speaker 4: it means a lot for him to now put the
Speaker 4: jersey on. He thinks about him a lot. We all
Speaker 4: had Terrence here for a year and then of course
Speaker 4: he tragically passed right before the draft. But I didn't
Speaker 4: know that connection. And I said, it means a lot
Speaker 4: to be representing him and in their hometown.
Speaker 3: And you mentioned Zion Hawthorne. He's the backup point guard,
Speaker 3: a guy we don't talk a lot better. He's really
Speaker 3: he's point guard one B behind Zumdiallo.
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know how much will we get in Zion.
Speaker 4: He's just a freshman. I only spent maybe three or
Speaker 4: four minutes with him. Wasn't intentional, it's just kind of
Speaker 4: how it worked out.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 4: But he was good to hear from too. I don't
Speaker 4: know if y'all remember Mark Fox taped a hammer to
Speaker 4: the wall before the tournament last year and said, be
Speaker 4: the hammer nothing now. That was the first thing Zion
Speaker 4: said when I asked, kind of what's what's the what's
Speaker 4: the messaging? He said, they're still they're telling us to
Speaker 4: be a hammer nothing now.
Speaker 2: That has not gone away, So we're still duck taking
Speaker 2: a hammer up on a wall.
Speaker 4: But he's, you know, he's I don't know how much
Speaker 4: we'll see of him being a true freshman. Uh. I
Speaker 4: did ask him if he said ady and he welcome
Speaker 4: to Kentucky moments and he admitted that Malachi ma Reno
Speaker 4: is crammed on his head twice already in practice, so
Speaker 4: it's fun here in that. But he was another good personality.
Speaker 4: I just didn't get nearly as much time with him.
Speaker 4: As I did the other two.
Speaker 3: But the rumor is he lives in the gym, like
Speaker 3: literally is there from sunrise to sundown.
Speaker 4: Thinking of Mason Williams. Mason Williams is the backup Jim Retch.
Speaker 3: I thought it was Zion Hawthorne did that.
Speaker 4: Giants Brains little brother. He's doing well too, but he's
Speaker 4: got a long way to go. But it was good
Speaker 4: hearing from him.
Speaker 3: Also. Eight five nine two two eight seven. That's our
Speaker 3: Clark's puppishot phone line. You want to get on board.
Speaker 3: We got Jeff Piccarl going to join us in the second.
Speaker 3: I had to talk a lot of football, and even
Speaker 3: Ty Bryant supposed to call in talk some football, but
Speaker 3: I wanted to get the basketball things kind of out
Speaker 3: of the way. I mean, Papa Frank, he's a guy
Speaker 3: that I like. I said, he's so important because if
Speaker 3: you're on him, he Gotrhyese Potter and those are your
Speaker 3: three guys inside guys.
Speaker 4: And Frank, even though he's twenty five and has played
Speaker 4: a lot of basketball, has never played a full season.
Speaker 4: He said, last year is so close. I came up
Speaker 4: five games short. But they're being very cautious with him,
Speaker 4: and he hopes this is the year where he can
Speaker 4: play a full season completely healthy. But you're right, he's
Speaker 4: gonna be important. As excited as we are about Malachai,
Speaker 4: you still need depth there, and him being kind of
Speaker 4: a different player than Malaka, they're really gonna need him.
Speaker 3: You're pulling up another a vision glass text machine text
Speaker 3: for us.
Speaker 2: Well, no, you know, you and I were getting on
Speaker 2: Mario for not knowing about bon Jovi and we talked
Speaker 2: about the KSR curse. Yes, well, somebody just sent on
Speaker 2: the text line that bon Jovi abruptly ended his concert
Speaker 2: at Madison Square Garden last night. So there you go.
Speaker 2: You're trying to kill off bon Jovi. Now what are
Speaker 2: you doing?
Speaker 6: Ryan?
Speaker 3: I asked my son last night, Josiah's nineteen, said, do
Speaker 3: you know bon Jovi? He's like, no, but he would
Speaker 3: know the song if you played it for him. They
Speaker 3: would know the song You'll give Love a Bad Name,
Speaker 3: Living on a Prayer.
Speaker 2: He would know those songs.
Speaker 6: Have you heard? So?
Speaker 3: I said, do you know Rolling Stones? No?
Speaker 2: But he would know a song if he heard it.
Speaker 3: Maybe yeah, But I said, you know Hooty and the Blowfish,
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I know that.
Speaker 2: Of course he knows Hoody and the Blowfish because brainwashed
Speaker 2: as a kid to think that Darius Rutger was his uncle.
