38
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,160

00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: It's a meet and greet for the TBT La Familia

41
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: Basketball team. We had people waiting to get in as

42
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: soon as we opened up this morning, so we've opened

43
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: up early to come on out. The guys are here, though,

44
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: I'm sure they'll be welcome to autographs, pictures, that sort

45
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: of thing. We'll talk to them a little basketball. I'm

46
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: sure we'll squeeze in a little bit about that. But

47
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: it is kind of cool to kind of see this, uh,

48
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: this reunion of these former players happening this morning.

49
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, and uh, for the most part, it's been a

50
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 3: while since we've seen all of them. You know, a

51
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 3: lot of them from the earlier Caliperi era. With the TBT,

52
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 3: you can't use current players, so some of the more

53
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 3: recent guys are still playing. But I mean, like I said,

54
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 3: just UK legends in here on a Wednesday morning, and

55
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 3: this is gonna be excited to hear from all of them.

56
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 3: I wish we could do a whole show with each

57
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 3: of them, that's true, but we're gonna have to do

58
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 3: a quick hitters and run.

59
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 2: Through instead of doing a whole show with each one.

60
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,839
Speaker 2: We got to do a segment with two at a time.

61
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 2: We'll bring on two to time every fifteen minutes, do

62
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 2: a segment that Tyler, you list is going to join

63
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,839
Speaker 2: us first turn a little bit, so this is really

64
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 2: our only segment. We can talk about anything else.

65
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you want to talk about. Let's get

66
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 3: it out of way.

67
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 2: We'll talk about all the sports that are going on today.

68
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 2: Let's see baseball, no baseball, NBA, last night in NFL.

69
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 3: This is why we picked the perfect day to have

70
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 3: these guests, Shannon, this is it.

71
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: This is one of two days of the year there

72
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: are no professional sports going on today.

73
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 4: Well, luckily, like you said, you have the entire team

74
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 4: there of law Familia to fill the void. But yeah,

75
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 4: not any days that happened with no sports. Today is

76
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 4: one of them. So I'm excited. I wish I could

77
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 4: be there with you guys.

78
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 3: I want to hear both a lot of memories from

79
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 3: those guys from the k but they've also seen the

80
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 3: current team and maybe they can spill a little scouting reports.

81
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 3: I mean, they know ball over there as well as anyone,

82
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 3: So it'd be nice to hear from former players about

83
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 3: the current guys if they're willing to open up a

84
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 3: little bit.

85
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 2: They just practiced against them with them yesterday, so yeah,

86
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 2: we can get our first inside report maybe from some

87
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 2: of these guys today on Mark Pope's team.

88
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 3: And I was excited. I haven't seen Willie in a

89
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 3: long time, huge Willie fan, and I was like, Hey,

90
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 3: can you maybe like have a Bahama story ready? I'm like, man,

91
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 3: these fans for ten years, they've been asking me Bahamas

92
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 3: stories and I've kept my lips sealed. It's not my

93
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 3: place to tell them. But we're finally here together. Can

94
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 3: you do one? And he went, well, let's just tell

95
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 3: them all Soap to Atlanta too.

96
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 2: By goodness. Well, so just to kind of recap some

97
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: other stories that we talked about yesterday that we won't

98
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 2: be able to get to the rest of the show.

99
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: Our girl Anddres Andres ingrid Andre. There you go, Shannon. Yeah,

100
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 2: they believe her story.

101
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 5: Oh I don't.

102
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 4: So she came out and said that she was drunk, yes,

103
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 4: and maybe she had something to drink before, but I

104
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 4: don't think that the alcohol was the problem. I think

105
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 4: she has a singing problem more than a drinking problem,

106
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 4: based on what we heard from the National Anthem. So

107
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 4: I'm not buying it. I think that that was a

108
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 4: poor excuse. And you know, you gotta go out there

109
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 4: and sing the national anthem.

110
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 2: Why would you get drunk before you did that? Yes,

111
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 2: she released a statement, of course, after she heard us

112
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: on the show talking about it. Definitely said I'm not

113
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: gonna b s y'all. I was drunk last night. I'm

114
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 2: checking myself into a facility today to get the help

115
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 2: I need. That was not me last night. I apologize

116
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 2: to MLB, all the fans, and this country I love

117
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 2: so much for that rendition. I'll let y'all know how

118
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 2: rehab is. I hear it super fun. See that tells

119
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 2: me right there.

120
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 4: She's not sincere about it when she puts, oh, I

121
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 4: hear it super fun. If she was actually dealing with

122
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 4: a serious problem, she wouldn't put it it's fun on there.

123
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't joke about it.

124
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 4: I know it sarcasm. Yes, I went sarcasm. But you

125
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 4: don't joke about something like that.

126
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: You don't joke about it. So people, probably including myself,

127
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 2: didn't know who she was before she sang that. Nash Man.

128
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 2: Now everybody's talking about her, and I think this statement

129
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 2: Drew kind of is going to just keep it going.

130
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,679
Speaker 3: And then I was tuned in last night for Cody Johnson.

131
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 3: He had to sing the national anthem. I'd never heard

132
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 3: of Cody Johns until last night, but of course I'm

133
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 3: tuning in. He's got to follow the performance from the

134
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 3: night before, and he did a much better job. But

135
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 3: I kept thinking he had to be thinking. She put

136
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 3: so much pressure on me that I didn't have before,

137
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 3: because the whole country was talking about our national ask

138
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 3: yesterday and he had to go do round two before

139
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 3: the game. But he did a good job. He kept

140
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 3: it simple, you know, he wasn't trying to do all

141
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 3: the extra stuff. He stayed right in the lane and

142
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 3: got it done and did a good job.

143
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 2: And then of course the All Star Game last night.

144
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 2: Well that's enough talk about that. That's going to the

145
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 2: next topic. Now.

146
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 3: I lost money on it. I bet on the National

147
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 3: League's you did.

148
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 2: I watched the first couple pitches because there were prop

149
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 2: bets on if Paul Skeens would hit one hundred on

150
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 2: his first pitch, and he hit ninety eight on the Draftking, So, uh, Shannon,

151
00:05:59,040 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 2: do you watch any of it?

152
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 4: A little bit of it, But I mean, the American

153
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 4: League just dominates this. I think they're like twenty eight

154
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 4: and seven, and then there's the one year they tied

155
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 4: since like the eighties. So yeah, it's almost to the

156
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 4: point to where you know what's gonna happen before you

193
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 2: but he textas from Spain. Hey, don't forget the new

194
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 2: running mate challenged Ryan to a foot race when he

195
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 2: was on the radio show. I had forgotten that, completely

196
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 2: forgot that he had challenged me to a foot race.

197
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 3: You and your unintentional interactions with politicians are unbelievable, and

198
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 3: not just like local politicians, multiple presidents. You now have

199
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 3: a vice president candidate who has challenged you to a

200
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 3: foot race.

201
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 2: Yes, you're own remote that he would lose.

202
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 3: Do you remember how that came up?

203
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 4: No, was Jedd Vans on Ambien that day, because you

204
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 4: know Matt Jones was challenging everybody to the foot race

205
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 4: the day he was on it.

206
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 2: I must have been during that time, whe would have

207
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 2: Billy was going to race Ryan Timmins. And you know

208
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 2: I had to race a sixty at Knock Central High School.

209
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 2: I'd never got timed into sixty. Maybe it was during

210
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: all that time that jd Vance challenged me to it.

211
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 2: But hey, but if he still wanted to bring it on,

212
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: he's doing a tour, stop here, let's do it.

213
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 3: And Matt I think he's gonna find himself in the

214
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 3: news again unintentionally. He's kind of got that Forrest Gump

215
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 3: syndrome where he just always finds himself in situations. But

216
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 3: I've seen some places are digging up jd Vance on

217
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 3: the Matt Jones podcast, yes eight years ago, and using

218
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 3: some of that. So I think an old Matt Jones

219
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 3: podcast episode is gonna find its way in the presidential race.

220
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 2: Oh, it definitely has already kind of raised its head

221
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 2: a little bit. He's over there.

222
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 3: Where is he now? I don't even know Spain and

223
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 3: things in Spain, just enjoying vacation, minding his own business,

224
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 3: and over here it looks like that might be picking

225
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 3: up some steam.

226
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 2: So we're here at cas Bar and Grill meet and

00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 2: of them are, you know, starting to get a little

287
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,800

312
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 2: on a bench of.

313
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 8: College basketball, it's you know, a lot more nerves on

314
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 8: the coaching side.

315
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 2: You know, you can't do it yourself.

316
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 8: And you know, the hours these guys put in, you know,

317
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 8: watching coach cale Chin Bruiser and all these guys, the

318
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 8: amount of film they watch, the amount of means we have,

319
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 8: the amount of things we do to try to, you know,

320
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 8: get these kids prepared, whether it's on or off the court,

321
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 8: the things we deal with, you know, it's just a lot,

322
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 8: you know, a lot of hours, but it's a lot

323
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 8: of fun. I feel like I reaped the benefits when

324
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 8: I got to see those guys play in Vegas. I

325
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 8: just left Vegas, so read play up close, Antonio rob

326
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,599
Speaker 8: I'm Oscar justin so you know, it was great to

327
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 8: see all those guys.

328
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 3: I had another question for you. But if you're in Vegas,

329
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 3: let's hear this reed Shepherd buzz that's going on. I mean,

330
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 3: you got John Moran, Trey Young tweet about him, some

331
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 3: of the national pundits calling him one of the best

332
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 3: Summer League debuts in years. It was just fun seeing

333
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 3: that around a guy you knew here.

334
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 8: Real well, and like I mean, I haven't really seen

335
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 8: all the hype about it, but like I said, I

336
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 8: was course sided and watched him play, so you know,

337
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 8: I mean, I'm not surprised. I've been the biggest Ree

338
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 8: fan since he got on campus, you know, And I'm

339
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 8: really proud of him, really proud of.

340
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 5: What he's doing.

341
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: And I can't wait to see, you know, what he

342
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 2: does from here on.

343
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 3: What about Rob, I mean, what a destination to be

344
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 3: the eighth pick, but you get to go to a

345
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 3: contender and play with guys like Anthony Edwards and Carl

346
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 3: Towns who you know, well, I'm sure you're excited for

347
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 3: him too.

348
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 2: Oh for sure.

349
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 8: You know, Rob, I feel like that's the best place

350
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 8: he could have landed. That was really big for me

351
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 8: where he landed because of you know, how he plays.

352
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 8: And in the NBA, when you go on teams who

353
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 8: aren't that good, like we lost. I went a month

354
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 8: when I went in the game, So you know, when

355
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 8: you're on teams like that, you know, you kind of

356
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 8: get lost in the shuffle. And you know, Rob being

357
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 8: on that team, being under Mike Conley, Anthony Edwards, the

358
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 8: confidence he has, the confidence Rob Carries hisself. I think

359
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 8: it'll be really good for him.

360
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 2: While we're talking about those guys, why was Antonio Reeves

361
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 2: kind of undervalued in the eyes of the NBA. I mean,

362
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 2: he's ended up being one of the most efficient shooters

363
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 2: we've ever had at this place, led the team in

364
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 2: scoring last year. Why was he still kind of undervalued

365
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 2: and not a higher draft pick or thought of highly?

366
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 2: Were highly?

367
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 8: Honestly, I'm not sure the NBA is just you know,

368
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 8: they have their ways Tonio. But he's a little older

369
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 8: at twenty two twenty three years old, but he's a

370
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 8: six ' five guard who shoots the lights out. I

371
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 8: always said Antonio woke up with twenty points easily kidding,

372
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 8: but I think he'll have a long career because of

373
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 8: how well he shoots the ball, his size, he can defend.

374
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 8: I think just once he gets in those locker rooms

375
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 8: and gets around these NBA teams, he'll stick.

376
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 3: You got a great head start on your coaching career,

377
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 3: very young, bright future ahead. But was it a little

378
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 3: surreal when you're sitting on the roup erate a bench

379
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 3: in a coaching uniform, having not been too far removed

380
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 3: from the playing career. Was it kind of like, oh wow,

381
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 3: this is a completely different setting here.

382
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 2: That's definitely completely different.

383
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 8: It happened fast, but you know, I didn't want to

384
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 8: sit back and wait and you know, kind of moping

385
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 8: what I was going through.

386
00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 2: And you know, helped me out a lot.

387
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 8: Coach how asked me to come out here and you know,

388
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 8: give me around these kids, give me back around. The

389
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 8: game was really big for me, and you know, help

390
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 8: me out a lot.

391
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 3: Interviewed all those players last year and the year before

392
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 3: they all went, especially the guards. We talked about how

393
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 3: helpful it was having you because you know, Cal's just

394
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 3: a little older. You're someone they could relate to. And

395
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 3: then of course you played the game and we're outstanding Kentucky.

396
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 3: So that was just a big influence. But at any point,

397
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 3: did you think I just want to push these kids

398
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 3: out of the way and take over practice and get

399
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 3: the ball run of myself.

400
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 8: Uh No, not really. I understand, you know, it's their time.

401
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 8: A lot of those guys looked up to me, so

402
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 8: you know, I really looked forward to helping them at

403
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 8: the next level. It wasn't so much of you know,

404
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 8: just what we were doing here. Obviously we're trying to

405
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 8: win games. But these guys their dream is to be

406
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 8: NBA players. They want to, you know, get in and

407
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 8: out of college as quick as possible. So you know,

408
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 8: my thing was preparing them for that in the future,

409
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 8: because you know they want to leave. But once you

410
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 8: get up there, it's a business. This is what's fun.

411
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 8: Try to enjoy Kentucky as much as you can, because

412
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 8: when you get to that next levels, you know, all

413
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 8: all business, no fun of games.

414
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 2: You know, out life, a lot of us have to

415
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 2: go through life changing events. You had something very you know,

416
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 2: tragic happened to you with the accident. How did you

417
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 2: get through that? And what did you learn from going

418
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 2: through all that?

419
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 8: How I got through it? It was once, like I said,

420
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 8: you know, coach cal invited me out here. You know,

421
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 8: first I was at my grandparents.

422
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 2: You know, my.

423
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 8: Family took great care of me. You know, a girl

424
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 8: I was dating that time taking care of me. And

425
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 8: you know, I just got through it. You know, you can't,

426
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 8: you know, mope on things like that. You know, things

427
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 8: happen in life. I'm still blessed. You know, I had

428
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 8: the opportunity to coach Kentucky basketball only student asistant probably

429
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 8: in the country was doing what I was doing, so

430
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 8: you know, you kind to kind of look at it

431
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 8: like that and just keep pushing.

432
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 3: You played on some great teams with a lot of

433
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 3: great players, some of them here. But you and Devin

434
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 3: Booker seemed like best friends. Maybe still are today. I'm

435
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 3: sure that relation is still intact. Maybe Jamal, that was

436
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 3: you staying in touch with all those guys.

437
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, for sure. I talked to them guys often. I

438
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 8: actually just left Phoenix not too long ago. Hopefully our

439
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,640

00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 8: I'm proud of them.

442
00:16:59,360 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 5: You know.

443
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 8: Jamal's a champ now. I wish Devin would have got his,

444
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 8: you know, and I'm rootm for those guys. We still

445

446
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 8: busy with our schedules.

447
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 3: You got to be teammates there for a little bit Phoenix.

448
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 3: It was like going from UK to Phoenix with Devins.

449
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 2: It was crazy. That was too, That's what I'm saying.

450
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 8: You know, we were blessed to be in situations like that,

451
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 8: so you know, when things happen, you can't, you know,

452
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 8: act like the world's gonna end. You know, me and

453
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 8: Devin wanted to play with each other at high school.

454
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 8: You know, we got to play each other in college.

455
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 8: And him leaving to go to the NBA and me

456
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 8: getting drafted, you know, to that same team, was you know,

457
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 8: a dream come true for us. It was short lasted,

458
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 8: but you know it was fun while it did still happened.

459
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 2: The twenty fifteen team obviously one of the greatest teams

460
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 2: of our generation. How often do you think about that?

461
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 2: You know, what, howten you think about that Wisconsin game? Like,

462
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 2: is that just one of those things?

463
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 3: It's just he said, I thought we were doing the WL.

464
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 2: I don't think about it often, but yeah, boo that man.

465
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 8: For some reason, I've ran into a lot of like

466
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 8: Uber drivers that were Wisconsin fans. No Wisconsin had on

467
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 8: Wisconsin hoodie. No seriously in the Midwest, like all the time.

468
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 8: But I try not to think about that. You know,

469
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 8: it's tough. You know, we wish we could have that

470
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 8: one back, but you know, hopefully one day I could

471
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 8: get another one.

472
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 3: Hopefully you get another Uber and get out of that Cardia.

473
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 3: Let's think some positive memories looking back. I mean, you

474
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 3: have one of the most iconic photos in history at

475
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 3: Louisville with the blood run down your face? What in

476
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 3: what went into that?

477
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 5: Well?

478
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 3: I do remember what was it? Like an elbow?

479
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 2: What even happened? Yeah?

480
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 8: Well went into it with your elbow to the face.

481
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 8: You know, Chris Jones was sweeping through elbowed me in

482
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 8: the face. I actually didn't know I was bleeding until

483
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 8: someone told me. But you know that, I feel like

484
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 8: even though we lost to that Wisconsin game, like that

485
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 8: whole season was great memories. We went thirty eight, no,

486
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 8: you know, we went thirty one, oh in the regular season,

487
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 8: and you know, obviously you fell short, but I don't

488
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 8: think anybody else would do that again, you know, so

489
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 8: that that was amazing for us. It was probably my

490
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 8: best basketball experience.

491
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 3: And Defensive Player of the Year in the SEC, I mean,

492
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 3: come on, I mean your size, I'm sure a lot

493
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 3: of people didn't think Defensive Player a year might be

494
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 3: in the cards. But of course you shocked everybody with

495
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 3: how good you were. But that award especially really stood

496
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 3: out to Kentucky fans. What made you embrace defense so

497
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 3: much when you were just so good at everything else too?

498
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 8: You know, that's actually my favorite award because personally, I

499
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 8: feel like my defense is my biggest, you know, asset

500
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 8: when I play. But just how I grew up. I

501
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 8: grew up in Lima, Ohio, you know, also in Chicago, Illinois,

502
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 8: and you know, we grew up around you know, rough

503
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 8: kids who are you know, coming at me every day,

504
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 8: you know, trying to prove that they're better than me

505
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 8: and things like that. So you know, we always competed,

506
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 8: always wanted, you know, guys to win. You know, I

507
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 8: have my my cousin here, Shan delle Walden, who's coaching

508
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 8: with me. His brother, Travis Watten, was a defensive player

509
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 8: of the Year at Michigan State, and you know we

510
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 8: all kind of grew up under him, and you know

511
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 8: that's kind of the standard he set, and you know

512
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 8: how we followed.

513
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 3: I was in Lima on Sunday. Where's the statue? I

514
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 3: was looking around for it? Is there any Tyler you

515
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 3: list anything there? We got to get something up there.

516
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 8: No, I don't have any statues. I moved to Chicago,

517
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 8: so you know, I don't know, hopefully hope one day.

518
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 8: You know, Xavier Simpson's the guy in the city right now.

519
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 2: Gotcha, You know, they talk about you guys, when you play,

520
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 2: it's just kind of a blur. It goes by so

521
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 2: fast after you finally left here after two years, where

522
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 2: there's some we able to kind of soak in some

523
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 2: of the moments or kind of the experience that you

524
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 2: just had here at Kentucky. Oh for sure.

525
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 8: You know personally, you know, I always came back, so

00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 9: Last year I played in Greece. I played in Greece

627
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 9: and Turkey. Just been playing overseas by going into my

628
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 9: tenth year as a professional. So it's been a long

629
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 9: journey up and down. But I mean, I mean, I

630
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 9: enjoy it.

631
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 3: Greece not a bad place to live out.

632
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 5: Here, lovely place, a lovely place to live. Yeah, and

633
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,360
Speaker 5: I finished up in Portugal last year.

634
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 9: It's pretty nice, you know, pretty much the same just

635
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 9: the past six seven years been overseas everywhere.

636
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 5: Been from Middle East to Asia to you.

637
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 2: Know, so you get to see the world man.

638
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, definitely, definitely.

639
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 9: I feel like I I've seen places I would have

640
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 9: never even heard of before.

641
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 3: So for sure, when you all were at Kentucky, I

642
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 3: gotta say, there's something that really annoyed me and it

643
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 3: still annoys me to this day. Every time you all

644
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 3: would do an interview, someone would say, what's it like

645
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 3: playing with your brother? And we'd all roll our eyes

646
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 3: like they've answered this question two thousand times. I'm sure

647
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 3: you're already getting it this week if you're pairing back together.

648
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 3: So I'm asking a little differently. It's been a long

649
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 3: time since you've been teammates, Andrew, what have you missed

650
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 3: about playing with Aaron all these years before you team

651
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 3: back up.

652
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 9: I mean, it's just just being able to have your

653
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 9: best friend playing with you. Basically, that's the only thing.

654
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 9: I'm kind of used to not playing with them now. Ye, so,

655
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 9: but I'm just being able to play with Aaron. It's fun.

656
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 3: Man.

657
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 9: One of the main rings I decided to or we

658
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 9: decided to be able to come back and do this

659
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 9: so she been able to play with Aaron, also the

660
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 9: other guys as well.

661
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 2: So when was the last time you guys actually played

662
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 2: on the court together. Was it here at Kentucky? Or

663
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 2: have you played together since I'm on the court in

664
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 2: a competitive game?

665
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, competitively, Yeah for sure. Uh back here.

666
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 2: Here the w game that Drew won't let me mention anymore.

667
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, after your career has went separate ways, did you

668
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 3: ever think there would be a day you'd get to

669
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 3: pair up again? And I can't imagine you think it

670
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 3: would happen to Rapperina but uh.

671
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 9: Yeah no, definitely not that ruugh overseas we've kind of

672
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 9: like planned it, try to finish our career maybe on

673
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 9: the same scene, but not definitely, not know why his

674
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 9: dreams thinking we'll be back and Rubb being able to

675
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 9: play in front of the fans, big blue mage and stuff.

676
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 9: So it's cool, man, it's cool. Great opportunity.

677
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 3: They do the elam ending in the tournament. So it's

678
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 3: like you got to hit the last shot. I mean,

679
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 3: you're giving it to Aaron, right, I mean, is there

680
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 3: any question? Is there any doubt if you need a

681
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,719
Speaker 3: game winner? You've seen so many of them, is does

682
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 3: he still have it in him. Hopefully doesn't get to

683
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 3: that point.

684
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 9: Hopefully it doesn't get to that point, but definitely, I'm

685
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 9: gonna just give it, give it to him.

686
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 2: Well, I love the story you guys told after the

687
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:36,959
Speaker 2: maybe it was the Michigan game or the little one

688
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,959
Speaker 2: of the shots. You're in the corner screaming at him

689
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 2: to shoot it. Yeah, like he wasn't gonna pull the trigger,

690
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,479
Speaker 2: and they the audio, they catch you, He's like, shoot,

691
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 2: shoot shoot. You had to encourage him to shoot.

692
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 5: It, for sure.

693
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 9: No, I mean I've been in those situations with him

694
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 9: for a long time, So I mean I'm comfortable because

695
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 9: I know he's comfortable. I know he's confident in those situations.

696
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 9: Whole games, everyone around thinks he's gonna make it. So

697
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 9: so it's a it's a fun, fun little opportunity as

698
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 9: it's such adrenaline rush, that little moment that you have.

699
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 2: So I guess I've never ask you. Did you hear

700
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 2: him hollering at you before you pulled the trigger on

701
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 2: that one?

702
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:13,719
Speaker 6: Uh?

703
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I probably did. I heard him.

704
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 9: I mean I think I think he was saying go

705
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 9: go yeah. Yeah, so yeah, I definitely heard him.

706
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 2: So, now, you guys, when you were here. It almost

707
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 2: felt like you got underappreciated when you were here. You

708
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 2: guys are the most successful backcourt in the history of

709
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 2: this school when it comes to postseason. You went to

710
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 2: a championship game when you were freshman and you went

711
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 2: thirty eight. No, when you were a sophomore. Yeah, I

712
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 2: felt like you two guys didn't get the appreciation you

713
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 2: deserve from the fan base. Did what what? What did

714
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 2: it feel like for you guys and you were going

715
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 2: through that.

716
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 9: I don't necessarily agree with that the fan base was.

717
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 9: I mean, I think it was okay supportive to us.

718
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 9: I mean, we had our ups and downs. But I

719
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 9: say that I don't feel undappreciated after even nine years

720
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 9: being away coming back out, I don't feel underappreciated.

721
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 3: When you all made that decision to come back after

722
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 3: you freshman year, that might be the biggest reaction for

723
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 3: a player decision of all time. To keep calm, the

724
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 3: twins are coming, Banner. I just tweeted that out this city,

725
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 3: this state was on fire. We did a radio show.

726
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 3: Weren't supposed to be on the air. We just stayed

727
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 3: on the air for two more hours to talk about

728
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 3: you all coming back for your sophomore year. Well, what

729
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 3: about that reaction. I mean, it was a big deal

730
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 3: to make that decision, But did you think the fan

731
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 3: base would go as crazy as they did when you

732
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 3: all decided to run it back for a second season.

733
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 9: No, that was super exciting. Man, that was amazing. That's

734
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 9: like one of the moments in your life you never forget.

735
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,959
Speaker 9: So I definitely remember my phone going crazy, crazy, crazy,

736
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 9: and everyone was so excited. So it made a made

737
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 9: me feel like I've made the right choice. At that moment, when.

738
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 3: You have an undefeated regular season, everyone focuses on that.

739
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 3: But the year before, it was the heck of a

740
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 3: story after the South Carolina game when you went on

741
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 3: that big tournament run when Aaron said that a South

742
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 3: Carolina press conference, were you all in belief that Did

743
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 3: you know that that March Madness run was coming? Or

744
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 3: did his comments kind of kick it into the gear

745
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 3: when he kind of made that promise and then followed.

746
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 5: Through to the.

747
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 9: I don't remember how I felt, but I feel like

748
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 9: we all thought we were a good team. I know

749
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 9: we all believed in ourselves individually. We just had to

750
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 9: put it together. I think coach made a couple of

751
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 9: changes and I mean change the season around me at

752
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 9: not the perfect time, but the only time we had,

753
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 9: so it was it was interesting. But the way we

754
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 9: ended the season, I was amazing.

755
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 5: It was cool.

756
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 3: Sure was it never tweaks not changed. We all obsessed

757
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 3: over the tweak.

758
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 6: You know.

759
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Coach Klin kind of implied that maybe one of

760
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 2: the reasons he wasn't gonna leave was because you guys

761
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 2: were coming back. Did you kind of feel that that,

762
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 2: like he wanted to be loyal to you because you

763
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 2: guys were being loyal to the program.

764
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 5: I don't think coach.

765
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 9: Decision had I mean, I don't really know anything about

766
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 9: coaching the decision he made that decision. I mean that's

767
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 9: he made the best decision for him. So I don't

768
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 9: know anything about that.

769
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,400

Speaker 6: yeah years. Definitely ain't played ball with him for a

934
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 6: long time, both since he left, so it was cool.

935
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 6: It was cool. It was just to be around them

936
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:02,399
Speaker 6: every day and get better.

937
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 3: You guys are part of some of my favorite UK memories.

938
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 3: So we got to look backwards a little bit, and

939
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,439
Speaker 3: I'll start with you James. The game didn't go well,

940
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:10,800
Speaker 3: But what was up with that dunk against Yukon? I

941
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 3: think you dunked on the entire team. What got into you?

942
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,320
Speaker 3: Were you just mad at the scoreboard and wanted to take.

943
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 7: It out on of them. I was just zoned in.

944
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 7: I don't know what it was. I still think about it,

945
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 7: like I just saw the rim. I didn't see nothing else.

946
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 7: And the one that is just dunk. It so happened

947
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 7: to be a lot of people around me, so it

948
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 7: was a dun't. I can't say much about it, like

949
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 7: it's one of my best memories.

950
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 3: I think because you can only have five players on

951
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 3: the court, I think other Yukon players came off the

952
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 3: bench to get dunked on. There were so many under you,

953
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 3: and when you dunked on them in that game, just

954
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 3: wish the outcome had been different. And Willie, I mean,

955
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 3: you've got a few that people remember well. My personal

956
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 3: favorite is Rock Oliver doing this. It's Florida, but the

957
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,240
Speaker 3: Cincinnati I think that guy still hasn't played basketball since.

958
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 3: Do you have a favorite of one of your old

959
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:52,800
Speaker 3: Willie colleagues Stein dunks at Kentucky.

960
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:57,240
Speaker 6: Oh, there's a lot of them man. I mean, obviously,

961
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 6: the Florida one was tough. Honestly, the LSU game, I

962
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 6: had like three dunks on Jordan and he was supposed

963
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,240
Speaker 6: to be like the best shot blocker in the SEC

964
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 6: at the time. I kind of took that personal. And

965
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 6: eighty was at the game too, and it kind of

966
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 6: started off a little rocky but ended up having a

967
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 6: crazy game and ended up winning. Eighty was there and

968
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 6: it was kind of like, I don't know, it was cool,

969
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 6: but I think those ones. The other ones was like,

970
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 6: don't get me wrong, legendary. I see him every year.

971
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:28,720
Speaker 3: You do it so often.

972
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 6: I mean, but then that LSU game where I had

973
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 6: like three back to back that was fun.

974
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 3: And one that's been lost in a little time, lost

975
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 3: the time. It's not a dunk, but when you threw

976
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 3: it behind the back, falling out a bounds and made it.

977
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 3: I don't know if Kentucky fans remember that, but as

978
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,280
Speaker 3: a shot, we need to make sure it lives on forever.

979
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 7: From I've seen videos of that everywhere I go, even overseas.

980
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 7: It like it was this you like bacon behind it

981
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 7: back shot, Like yeah, Calvi was still kind of mad

982
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 7: at me and I was like nothing I could do well.

983
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 2: And the shot you hit to beat Wichita.

984
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 5: State, Yeah, classic shots. I mean I like the big moments.

985
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 7: So those shots went in and I can't say much

986
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 7: about it.

987
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 2: I don't know if you remember. I got to telling

988
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 2: it when you came to join us in studio ten

989
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 2: years ago. Matt asked you about that shot and you said,

990
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 2: to be honest, cal call to play in the huddle.

991
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 2: I kind of forgot to play. I just got the

992
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 2: ball and just shot it.

993
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,839
Speaker 5: Get it went in. Like I said, he was kind

994
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 5: of mad.

995
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 3: But three points or three points other than those? Do

996
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 3: you have any other fond memories? Willy threw in a

997
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 3: couple like lish things we think of those big ones,

998
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 3: But any anythings that might not stick with the fans

999
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 3: as much.

1000
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 5: No, not really.

1001
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 7: I mean every game was a blessing to be a

1002
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 7: part of and just go out there and have fun

1003
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 7: with the guys. Most of my shots came from Drew

1004
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 7: and air, so I can't really say I had a

1005
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 7: pacific shot that like with the Duncan. The shots we

1006
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 7: just named off probably the most memorable.

1007
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 3: Oh, Willie, one year you all got to go to

1008
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 3: the Bahamas. That was pretty cool. I was there. A

1009
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 3: lot of our listeners have been asking me for a

1010
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 3: decade to tell stories, but the dumb button rad your

1011
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 3: lips are stealed. Did you What was it like down there?

1012
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 3: Won a lot of games. That was the before the

1013
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 3: thirty eight and one season, so it was the start

1014
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 3: did well there. The beach was fun. Did you have

1015
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,600

00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:16,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.

1018
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 6: It was, It was.

1019
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 5: It was great.

1020
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 6: That was the first time that I ever went to

1021
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 6: the Bahamas, and uh, you know, unfortunately I was coming

1022
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 6: off that broken ankle, but I was good enough to

1023
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 6: like work out and practice and be around the guys.

1024
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 6: But like I mean, it was a vacation for me.

1025
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I mean that's when I really got to

1026
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 6: know you guys pretty well, when you know, they had

1027
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 6: to go to practices and stuff and I'm chilling at

1028
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:39,959
Speaker 6: the pool and having a good time.

1029
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 3: Just how unique was that though? Because they've been past

1030
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 3: trips and the rules changed, the players had security. You

1031
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 3: all were basically just like you said, you were vacationing

1032
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 3: with Kentucky fans. What just KSR. You're just by the

1033
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 3: pool next to whoever from eastern Kentucky, all the boosters.

1034
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 3: It was fun, just people everywhere. It was just it

1035
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 3: was like we all just took a group trip together.

1036
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 3: And then there was occasual basketball.

1037
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 6: I think my favorite part from there is what's what's

1038
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 6: my man? What's my man? That used to right hand

1039
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:08,359
Speaker 6: right hand of cow?

1040
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 3: It might be bad. We can even leave names out

1041
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 3: of it, might be might be well.

1042
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 6: He still owes me.

1043
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:15,439
Speaker 2: Oh yeah yeah.

1044
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 3: The swimming underwater. Oh yeah, they have a lap pool.

1045
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 3: Willy bets everyone he can swim in to end, just

1046
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 3: not UK people, other people over here. My friends have

1047
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,760
Speaker 3: cash out betting on can Willy swim into and holding

1048
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 3: his breath? No one believed he could do it, and

1049
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 3: he went slow as possible. I don't think you'd make

1050
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 3: it to one side, but uh, a lot of a

1051
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 3: lot of gambling in the Bahamas on could Willy hold

1052
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 3: his breath for about three minutes there?

1053
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll tell you this. I wasn't gonna come up.

1054
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 6: I mean like, I was like, there's enough people here.

1055
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 6: If I pass out, somebody's gonna get me. So he's
