Speaker 5: It's Seinfeld, You Had Friends. Those were the two of
Speaker 5: the bigger shows. One Person Rights, you're Matt. You're just
Speaker 5: being egotistical. Everybody thinks the time they were in college

Speaker 5: Yeah, basement, we went through a lot of that. Cowboys
Speaker 5: forty nine Ers, Reds won a World Series and the
Speaker 5: Braves won World Series.
Speaker 4: Braves were in just about every World series. They lost
Speaker 4: more than they won, but still they were there. They
Speaker 4: were the team in the nineties.
Speaker 6: All right, you got it, ride your bike t till
Speaker 6: this till the lights come on.
Speaker 3: That's right, you could ride your bike. Do people even
Speaker 3: have bikes now? But do kids?
Speaker 6: Do they make bikes?
Speaker 3: I mean now it's all.
Speaker 4: Ye, they got bikes.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean people do have bikes, but now they
Speaker 5: all wear those stupid shorts. Like the idea of just
Speaker 5: wearing a riding a bike shandon just as a community as.
Speaker 4: Everybody's got to look like they're in the Tour de
Speaker 4: France exactly.
Speaker 5: Do people Terry Miners does that? It's like Terry Miners like, well, yeah,
Speaker 5: we don't need to wear.
Speaker 4: Those shorts bright spandex and.
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, do kids play flashlight tag anymore
Speaker 6: or any of that stuff.
Speaker 3: I don't know about that.
Speaker 4: Closing catchers something I don't.
Speaker 3: Know about that. All right, we will get the phones
Speaker 3: a couple things.
Speaker 5: First of all, Mark Stoops, we have its first picture
Speaker 5: of him in a Texas colors and Texas shirt shorts.
Speaker 3: It was a little three off, a little.
Speaker 6: Bit right, definitely did, especially when you factor in the
Speaker 6: Stoops history of being in Oklahoma, not so much him
Speaker 6: as brother, but Stoops is kind of a cussword around Austin, Texas,
Speaker 6: So there's that angle of it. And then just seeing
Speaker 6: our coach of thirteen years wearing that royal Kentucky blue
Speaker 6: now wearing the burnt orange.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do.
Speaker 6: I'm still thankful for what he did here. It needed,
Speaker 6: it needed to end when it did. I saw some
Speaker 6: people in the comments being kind of hateful to him.
Speaker 6: I hate seeing that. I don't think it needed to
Speaker 6: we needed to change, but he took us to heights we'd.
Speaker 2: Never seen Texas.
Speaker 5: Let's say Texas plight here this year Kentucky versus Texas
Speaker 5: and they don't do this, but let's say they introduced
Speaker 5: the coaching staffs. I think our fan base would intentionally
Speaker 5: wait for Mark Stoop's name and would give loud applause.
Speaker 3: Do you agree with that? I think so.
Speaker 5: I mean there might be a few hater but I
Speaker 5: think overall Mark Stoops would get applause, and one day
Speaker 5: he will get raucous applause. But I actually think he
Speaker 5: would get applause even now.
Speaker 6: Yeah, It's different than being like the head coach like
Speaker 6: cal at Arkansas got booed, and I had no problem
Speaker 6: with that. This is he's like an analyst, kind of
Speaker 6: a holdover job. I don't see this as going to
Speaker 6: another program and being like a rival or anything.
Speaker 5: When he didn't leave and like he wasn't kind of
Speaker 5: condescending on the way out.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's been around Lexington. I've seen fifty photos of
Speaker 6: Stoops at random places since he's been gone. He's still
Speaker 6: just here living his life and meeting fans and taking photos.
Speaker 3: Shannon, do you think he would get applause?
Speaker 4: I do, yeah, And I still like him too, you know,
Speaker 4: like when it comes to, like to talking to the media.
Speaker 4: He was at his absolute best when he was on
Speaker 4: this show because he would open up and kind of
Speaker 4: let his guard down. And I think you get a
Speaker 4: lot out of him when he was just on the show.
Speaker 4: So I don't really have any bad feelings towards him.
Speaker 5: I don't think there is. I think there was a
Speaker 5: younger part of the fan base that had Stoops hate
Speaker 5: because they had been very young when the Stoops really
Speaker 5: good years happened, and so a lot of them didn't
Speaker 5: remember it. But I think in general, Stoops is we
Speaker 5: talk about this sometimes. If you did the whole, like
Speaker 5: what they do with President's approval rating approved disapproved. Just
Speaker 5: as a person, I think Mark Stoops would get seventy
Speaker 5: five percent approval in Kentucky, don't you.
Speaker 6: I think so too, especially as you get older and
Speaker 6: you saw years and years of Kentucky football before he
Speaker 6: got here. Like when we were at that Citrus Bowl
Speaker 6: when they beat Penn State, I feel like we had
Speaker 6: won the Super Bowl, just a new feelings.
Speaker 7: I was so.
Speaker 5: Farwesome that game in Orlando when we beat at Penn State.
Speaker 5: I was there with my then girlfriend and I set
Speaker 5: in the stands, which I never did, you know, I
Speaker 5: usually sit with the media. I set in the stands,
Speaker 5: and I had so much fun the whole Lyn Bowden
Speaker 5: Mark Stoops yelling at James Franklin Benny's now broke the
Speaker 5: rushing record in that game and got on his knees
Speaker 5: and then I think we maybe had a turnover at
Speaker 5: the end to win. That was like such an awesome
Speaker 5: day in a game that you know, I don't know
Speaker 5: that ball games matter anymore, but that one.
Speaker 3: Felt like it did.
Speaker 6: Yeah, because before that, when Rich Brooks took us to
Speaker 6: felt like nineteen straight Music City Bowls I thought that
Speaker 6: was the peak of Kentucky football. So Stoops even took
Speaker 6: us to a higher level. Now, he maybe more than
Speaker 6: anyone in coaching when nil and everything changed. I think
Speaker 6: part of Barnhardt wasn't the biggest help in that era.
Speaker 6: We just fell behind and he couldn't recover. He was
Speaker 6: more cut out for football before everything changed to the
Speaker 6: new landscape.
Speaker 5: I think that's true. Well, I like Mark Stoops. I
Speaker 5: hope he just getting started, bro, that's right. I hope
Speaker 5: in Texas he might be playing for a title this year.
Speaker 5: Who knows, you know. I mean that's that's a possibility,
Speaker 5: depending on how things go.
Speaker 6: What a good get from Texas to go get a
Speaker 6: tenured coach like that final just to be an analyst Ford.
Speaker 5: RFK Junior, Shannon your guy, he's my he's your guy.
Speaker 5: He was in Lexington yesterday. I had two reports of sidings,
Speaker 5: so he was here. I think he was here for
Speaker 5: some event early on campus. Yeah, and uh, he ate
Speaker 5: at Malone's.
Speaker 4: When the Planet Fitness worked out in his jeans.
Speaker 3: That's why I was Okay. So I got told that.
Speaker 3: Did you get told that too?
Speaker 4: I'm just making it up.
Speaker 3: No, I I that happened. You were just making that up?
Speaker 4: Yes, didn't you tell me what the Planet Fitness have
Speaker 4: worked out in jail?
Speaker 5: It wasn't Planet Fitness, but I there was a gem.
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna say which one because I think they
Speaker 5: did a private workout, so I don't want to.
Speaker 3: Call out the person.
Speaker 4: I didn't know.
Speaker 5: But he worked out in jeans. Well, I cannot believe
Speaker 5: you said that as a joke.
Speaker 4: I thought you were like, no real, No, No, I
Speaker 4: didn't know that.
Speaker 5: Yes, no he did. There was a listener who he
Speaker 5: snapped a picture and promised me I wouldn't post it,
Speaker 5: so I'm not going to. But he was. He was
Speaker 5: working out in a T shirt and jeans. Yeah, yesterday
Speaker 5: in lex because.
Speaker 6: He was on campus. Abby had a big part in
Speaker 6: his event, and I was trying to get him surprise
Speaker 6: you all on the show before all this happened, because
Speaker 6: I knew this was coming a little bit in advance.
Speaker 6: Oh my goodness, I really if he just walked in here,
Speaker 6: he couldn't come in. I was like, can you just
Speaker 6: hand him the phone just for a little interview that
Speaker 6: you would have gotten me because I don't know.
Speaker 4: What I would have said, what would you have asked him.
Speaker 5: You know, that's a great question. If you just all
Speaker 5: of a sudden said talk to Ris. Surprise you be like,
Speaker 5: did you really eat a whale's head?
Speaker 8: Was ye?
Speaker 2: Next question? I think he would say yes.
Speaker 5: I saw he did an interview where he said something
Speaker 5: like I'll eat anything I find on the.
Speaker 3: Ground, anything, anything. That's what he said. I mean, I
Speaker 3: don't believe he means that.
Speaker 4: But look, who's back.
Speaker 3: That was unbelievable time. Did you did you watch any
Speaker 3: of it?
Speaker 2: Yeah? We did. I hated to leave. I didn't want
Speaker 2: to leave. It was awesome.
Speaker 3: Well you had eight more minutes you could have watched.
Speaker 2: You said to be back by eleven ten.
Speaker 3: Weirst text you to go. You could stay at eleven
Speaker 3: you get a text.
Speaker 2: I no text.
Speaker 4: I did text.
Speaker 2: Let's go back down there. I did.
Speaker 3: Okay, so you seem very excited.
Speaker 2: I really really wanted to stay because it was fun.
Speaker 2: What they're going five on five. They're going down the
Speaker 2: court five on five ago, but not your turn. You
Speaker 2: guys been down there.
Speaker 5: Okay, I'll tell you what, Drew. You want to go
Speaker 5: for like five minutes? I go, then you go. No,
Speaker 5: we'll go together. Okay, we'll go real quick. Yeah, and
Speaker 5: then when you take us to eleven thirty and then
Speaker 5: we'll be back and.
Speaker 2: We'll compare notes if you came across with the same notes.
Speaker 3: All right, so you got this, all right, Well we'll see
Speaker 3: you in a minute.
Speaker 4: All right, it's all you, Ryan, it's being to you.
Speaker 4: You want to take a call or do you want
Speaker 4: to you want to jump into what you saw?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we can talk about what we saw now because
Speaker 2: they're not here. I didn't want to sway their their
Speaker 2: their opinions of things.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So you were there for how long? Maybe ten minutes,
Speaker 4: maybe ten minutes, okay, And when you walked in, were
Speaker 4: they doing five on five immediately or they.
Speaker 2: Doing Oh yeah, they were already doing five on five
Speaker 2: And they were doing five on five the whole time
Speaker 2: we were there. So it kind of gives you a
Speaker 2: good perspective of things. And here's the first thing I
Speaker 2: walked away with Papaal Frank is a big man.
Speaker 4: That's what somebody else said already.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he is a big, massive man. And
Speaker 2: he was running up and down the floor. You know,
Speaker 2: he's supposed to be hurt and not participating, but he
Speaker 2: was going up and down the floor a little bit,
Speaker 2: So I think that's a good sign.
Speaker 4: Sam kind of outscooped you because we heard that while
Speaker 4: you were gone. He's the first person to call it
Speaker 4: in and told us that same thing. But you coming
Speaker 4: back and seeing the same thing really kind of hammers
Speaker 4: home that this is a big, imposing guy in the post.
Speaker 2: They need him for backup. If Malachi is your guy,
Speaker 2: you gotta have a backup. Here's the second thing I
Speaker 2: noticed of my takeaway, Mom, Silovitch didn't miss a shot.
Speaker 2: I mean, he did not miss a shot.
Speaker 4: How many did he take?
Speaker 2: Probably five, but like a three in transition he just
Speaker 2: pulled up nailed it right in somebody's face. I mean,
Speaker 2: the dude we were there for. Again, a sample size
Speaker 2: is not very long, but he did not miss it.
Speaker 4: Well, somebody was saying that he shot twenty four, made
Speaker 4: twenty three out of twenty four to start practice, while
Speaker 4: you're telling me he went five for five. Yeah, so
Speaker 4: he put in transition twenty eight for twenty nine for practice.
Speaker 4: It was just pretty insane. We always heard that from
Speaker 4: Mark Pope, you know, he said that Trent Noah would
Speaker 4: shoot ninety percent. You know it hit ninety out of
Speaker 4: one hundred and threes in practice.
Speaker 2: You know that.
Speaker 4: That's exciting to hear. Though.
Speaker 2: That's another takeaway, Trent, Noah is not practicing. He was
Speaker 2: on the sideline, so I don't know if it's still
Speaker 2: hampered by the hamstring. I think he's messing with or
Speaker 2: an ankle.
Speaker 4: Do you think it's that or do you think maybe
Speaker 4: you just weren't there long enough for him to be
Speaker 4: subbed in?
Speaker 2: No we I asked him the people that were sitting
Speaker 2: around us, and he said he hadn't practiced at all. Okay,
Speaker 2: so I think maybe he did just did some shooting
Speaker 2: drills but did not do the practice. Yeah, now here's
Speaker 2: the big takeaway that's going to rattle some people. Oh, okay,
Speaker 2: gonna rattle you if you had to pick a point
Speaker 2: guard today, and again it's a small sample size, but
Speaker 2: the best point guard on the floor today was Mason Williams.
Speaker 2: And it wasn't even close, not even close that dude.
Speaker 2: But this dude's gonna PLAYO. He is gonna play though,
Speaker 2: yeah zoom zoom. I'm sure will be the starter. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but Mason Williams is gonna play. I'm just telling you
Speaker 2: right now. If there's one guy that comes out of
Speaker 2: nowhere ends up playing, it's him or your guy Justin McBride,
Speaker 2: who I think if you had to pick a start,
Speaker 2: he four today he's he's the guy he hit a
Speaker 2: three in transition might so.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The two big surprises I think were Mason Williams and
Speaker 2: and Justin McBride. But they all, you know, they were
Speaker 2: passing the ball well, looked good, but uh, Mason Williams,
Speaker 2: he was the best player that we saw. And if
Speaker 2: Mario was here, he would agree with me.
Speaker 4: Plus, they've still got one roster spot open too. They
Speaker 4: could add one of these guys if that five for
Speaker 4: five thing goes through. Some of these guys that were
Speaker 4: you know, they thought they were gonna be done with
Speaker 4: college basketball. Now we're able to come back. You may
Speaker 4: be able to pick up you know, the kid from
Speaker 4: Auburn or you know somebody else out there that's that's
Speaker 4: still floating around. And to add that in.
Speaker 2: You know, use in the post you got Malachi Pat,
Speaker 2: Paul Frank and Rhys Potter, but at the four you
Speaker 2: got Justin McBride in Jy. I guess Mom Sillivian could
Speaker 2: slip down to the four. Yeah, that's a position of need.
Speaker 2: I think right there in Jai was out there, but
Speaker 2: I didn't really seem too much to pop, you know.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, But if they weren't able to get a
Speaker 4: guy like Keishawn Hall, who averaged nineteen points I think
Speaker 4: at Auburn last year, Yeah, he would have to come
Speaker 4: in to best, he'd have to take somebody's starting position.
Speaker 2: I think he would. I think he would come in
Speaker 2: and but just McBride's gonna play. I think him and
Speaker 2: Mason Williams both proved to me there. They may not start,
Speaker 2: but both those dudes are gonna play.
Speaker 4: So the intensity wasn't that of a normal practice. It
Speaker 4: was like full blown five on five, you know, one
Speaker 4: hundred percent out there from what you saw.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And and coach Pope would like, you know, stop
Speaker 2: him and do some coaching. He shushed the crowd one time,
Speaker 2: did he Yeah, some dudes who were sitting down low
Speaker 2: on the courty, he shushed them. He was trying to
Speaker 2: do some coaching.
Speaker 4: Get kicked out of an open practice by.
Speaker 2: No you don't. Yeah, no you don't. So that's good.
Speaker 2: So I guess that you and me for a for
Speaker 2: a segment or two, you want to go ahead and
Speaker 2: toss to a break.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we could do that. We'll come back. We'll take
Speaker 4: some calls A five nine, two eighth, twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 4: It's Shannon and and I guess I'll throw it to
Speaker 4: break here. We'll be right back to Kesar.
Speaker 2: Wait, man, is this one of Mario songs? This is?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's Laurlaurren Hill and the fujis Lauren. Yeah, do
Speaker 4: wop that thing?
Speaker 2: I do like this song. I know this song. Okay,
Speaker 2: this back from what the late nineties.
Speaker 4: I think this might be might be the first one
Speaker 4: that I know that we've played so far today.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't know the other one, the candy Candy
Speaker 2: Lane Pop whatever.
Speaker 4: You say to Rain, I think it was not Candy Rain.
Speaker 2: I got a couple things I gotta clarify.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 2: First, our buddy Nick, that's Harper's dad, is friend of
Speaker 2: the show. He says they had an open practice at
Speaker 2: Freedom Haul one year and they played Louisville. I kind
Speaker 2: of remember that. I think they had it was the
Speaker 2: shoot around that day. They let fans from Louisville come
Speaker 2: in and watch them shoot around.
Speaker 4: So what year was that?
Speaker 2: None, I don't remember. Maybe uh, gosh, maybe two thousand
Speaker 2: and seven, two thousand and eight.
Speaker 4: But I mean, how did they get the information out
Speaker 4: back then? Did they send it to a radio show?
Speaker 4: I mean, I know, like we I guess that was
Speaker 4: like the beginning of social media, but you know, you
Speaker 4: didn't have social media where you could just jump on
Speaker 4: and go live on Instagram and to all your followers
Speaker 4: and go, hey, we're gonna have a practice in an hour,
Speaker 4: get over here to the arena. Yeah, how did you
Speaker 4: get the word out back then? If it was unless
Speaker 4: it was planned like, you know, a couple of days
Speaker 4: in advance.
Speaker 2: They had to they had to plan in advance. And nope,
Speaker 2: say they're opening to open the doors for the shooting around.
Speaker 2: Maybe mentioned on the Coaches Show and local media reports.
Speaker 2: Probably we had it right. So uh and apparently the
Speaker 2: guy that coach Pope shushed down the court. Somebody said
Speaker 2: it was Goose.
Speaker 4: Telling Goose to be quiet.
Speaker 2: Maybe he didn't realize who it was when he turned
Speaker 2: around and shushed him, like, oh uh, oh, that's Goose.
Speaker 2: You can go ahead and talk.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Goose is going to be calling your game. You
Speaker 4: can't be shushing whom so.
Speaker 2: Hight seven Shan Si, we got some from them. Callers
Speaker 2: lined up. I hope there's somebody who's calling from practice and.
Speaker 9: Get somewhere out.
Speaker 4: The preacher who called earlier is back and preacher are
Speaker 4: you there?
Speaker 8: Ugh, yes, yes, I'm here at the practice. I actually
Speaker 8: just saw Matt and Drew walk in. I just came
Speaker 8: and s side Drew. I've impressed with the physicality. Pope
Speaker 8: is really making them battle. He even put Mont Pilovic
Speaker 8: with the big guys on a one on one drill,
Speaker 8: Hawthorne too, and then the guards on the other end
Speaker 8: were battling. So I think he's stressing with these guys
Speaker 8: to be very physical. Right now, they're doing five on
Speaker 8: five half court. Looks like Mark Fox's drawing a place
Speaker 8: and seeing that they can follow along, and then obviously
Speaker 8: working on defense. Pope is occasionally stopping it. He's occasionally
Speaker 8: stopping it to show little things that he's not micromanaging.
Speaker 8: And they definitely keep practicing movie. They go from one
Speaker 8: drill the next pretty quickly.
Speaker 4: So Ryan said about ten minutes ago that Vontilavince didn't
Speaker 4: miss a shot. He was when he was there at
Speaker 4: the arena. Has he missed a shot since then?
Speaker 2: I have.
Speaker 8: I mean just in the flow of things. But it's
Speaker 8: not like, man, he can't shoot this obviously. Yeah, man,
Speaker 8: this kid's impressive. He's very good at shooting. I also
Speaker 8: would say Malachi, he looks bigger and stronger, more physical,
Speaker 8: and and I've been impressed with his just overall size.
Speaker 8: It looks like he put on a lot of bucks
Speaker 8: and Morton. Morton just got to put back and finish.
Speaker 8: And he's been playing tough that senior leadership Kentucky kids.
Speaker 8: I think he just leaves it all on the court.
Speaker 2: Awesome, Thank you, preacher, appreciate your phone call. A little
Speaker 2: update Leather Live update from Sham. I'm impress. He's lett
Speaker 2: him go five on five the whole time the people
Speaker 2: are there, the fans are there. Instead of just seeing
Speaker 2: jacking up, shooting drills and wooing the crowd with some
Speaker 2: you know, threes and dunks, he's leting him play.
Speaker 4: Well. Here's the thing, though, if you're gonna call for
Speaker 4: fans to get there, you got I feel like you
Speaker 4: almost have to do that because fans don't want to
Speaker 4: see you come in and do a layup line or
Speaker 4: do jump shot. They want to see a five on
Speaker 4: five scrimmage. So I think that's probably the right thing
Speaker 4: to do, you know. And by the way, it looks
Speaker 4: like Jack's calling in.
Speaker 2: Here, Jack Goose, Gibbings, I think. So what's get him on,
Speaker 2: Goose is that.
Speaker 7: You Yes, how you doing guys? Good?
Speaker 2: Goose?
Speaker 4: You just get shushed by Mark Pope. Somebody said that
Speaker 4: he shushed you.
Speaker 7: He did, he did. I was, I was. I was
Speaker 7: talking to one of the assistant coaches. We were discussing, uh,
Speaker 7: discussing something, and uh, he blew the whistle and and
Speaker 7: then he walked by a little while ago said Goose,
Speaker 7: you go ahead and talk. Then no problem, you know,
Speaker 7: But but yeah, it was I got, I got shish
Speaker 7: man Jack.
Speaker 4: We've been hearing from some of the fans calling in
Speaker 4: who were there, But you know, if anybody's opinion, I
Speaker 4: trust it would be Jack Gibbings, Ryan. So, uh give us,
Speaker 4: uh your thoughts on what you've seen so far from
Speaker 4: practice today?
Speaker 7: Well today, very very spirited practice, fast moving, a lot
Speaker 7: of different teams, then worked on, touched on. I think
Speaker 7: it was an attempt by Mark Pope and the staff
Speaker 7: to just make sure the guys knew where they need
Speaker 7: to be thinking what they needed to be thinking the
Speaker 7: next a month or so while they're off so but
Speaker 7: very spirited. Man. It was. It was exciting to.
Speaker 2: Watch my biggest takeaway goose again. My sample size was
Speaker 2: very small, but my biggest takeaway that I was surprised
Speaker 2: to moje Mason Williams is gonna play and if I
Speaker 2: had to pick a starting point guard just based on today,
Speaker 2: it's Mason Williams. He looked great out there today.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know how you cannot give give him
Speaker 7: some minutes. You just love kids that work hard, I mean,
Speaker 7: and Mark singled them out man one time on a
Speaker 7: fist break. He took away the lane from Alex and
Speaker 7: forced him back to the middle where the health defense
Speaker 7: just like they have it designed. And he just works
Speaker 7: so dagone hard. It's hard to keep a guy like
Speaker 7: that out of the lineup. I'm not sure that I'm
Speaker 7: ready to name him as a starter just simply because
Speaker 7: he is a freshman and has a lot to learn.
Speaker 7: But one thing for sure is you don't feel bad
Speaker 7: about having him in there.
Speaker 2: And my other takeaway was I think Justin McBride says,
Speaker 2: don't try to fill someone else into that four spot.
Speaker 2: That's gonna be my spot. I thought he looked good
Speaker 2: out there.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and you know, justin he he was out for
Speaker 7: a few weeks sick, uh and did not get the practice.
Speaker 7: So he was in great shape, I mean great condition
Speaker 7: before he had to sit for about three weeks. And
Speaker 7: I did talk to him yesterday at practice and I
Speaker 7: just went up to him saying, young fellow, keep working hard.
Speaker 7: He said, Man, I hated that I'm not in shape.
Speaker 7: I was feeling so good. I said, yes, you were,
Speaker 7: you were looking good. But he wants that starting spot.
Speaker 7: It's going to take a lot to move him out.
Speaker 7: I would have put him in there before he missed
Speaker 7: those three weeks.
Speaker 4: So being illed Jack, we only got about a minute
Speaker 4: before we got to hit a break here. But how
Speaker 4: would you compare what you've seen from this team, and
Speaker 4: I assume today's I mean you've probably seen these guys
Speaker 4: in practice other times other than today. How would you
Speaker 4: compare this year's team to what we had last year?
Speaker 7: Well, I won't compare this team hardly at all to
Speaker 7: what we had last year because I'm an old school
Speaker 7: guy and I think everything starts in practice. And the
Speaker 7: biggest difference is that this team likes to practice. I
Speaker 7: didn't get that phil last year from our team. But
Speaker 7: this team wants to practice and they want to get better.
Speaker 7: Not that last year's team didn't want to get better,
Speaker 7: but I think the difference is the biggest thing. Comparisons
Speaker 7: more to the first team Marks first team than last
Speaker 7: year's team, because you have so many guys who can
Speaker 7: shoot it. But that is the biggest compare to Mark's
Speaker 7: first team, not so much last year's team.
Speaker 4: All right, Jack, thanks for calling in. We appreciate it,
Speaker 4: and don't.
Speaker 2: Get in trouble the next proctice. Jack. Yeah, come on now, Yeah.
Speaker 7: I know, man, I know. I was surprised he didn't
Speaker 7: tell me to run, get on the line and run. Man,
Speaker 7: I'm glad he didn't do that.
Speaker 4: I'll coppreciate you calling him, Bro' talk to you next
Speaker 4: week on the lead report. There you go, it's Jack Gibbons.
Speaker 4: Thanks for yep. So how about that Jack Givens calling
Speaker 4: in and giving us some and you listen he speaks.
Speaker 4: Oh absolutely, that's what I'm saying. A right, we'll talk
Speaker 4: more about that coming up next. Kentucky's Sports Radio. TJ Smith,
Speaker 4: personal injury attorney, called TJ He'll make them pay. Now
Speaker 4: more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's
Speaker 4: Matt Jones, Brian and this is our next Mario song.

Speaker 4: any song on the list would be It's Michael Jackson
Speaker 4: p yt pretty the.
Speaker 2: Last two songs he's picked, I would pick. I love
Speaker 2: both of these songs. Pretty young thing. Ah, keep going, No,

Speaker 2: before Matt and Drew got there. Braiden Hawthorne dunked over
Speaker 2: pap off Frank Big Frank. Oh, we just talked about
Speaker 2: how massive Big Frank is and Braiden Hawthorne apparently allegedly
Speaker 2: reportedly dunked on these heads.
Speaker 4: Wow, that's good stuff from Jack too, by the way,
Speaker 4: I mean, it's one thing to hear that, and no
Speaker 4: disrespect to any of our fans or our correspondence. We
Speaker 4: appreciate everybody calling in, but you know, when you hear
Speaker 4: it from Jack, a guy who has done this at
Speaker 4: you know, a high level, and is a guy that
Speaker 4: everybody you know trusts and respects, it's it's it's a
Speaker 4: little bit different hearing it from from Goose.
Speaker 2: Like I said, Yeah, when Jack Gibbons talks basketball, people listen,
Speaker 2: and when he's given the report, I trust everything he says.
Speaker 2: He's a guy told us last year at Haythorne was
Speaker 2: the best player in practice at times last year.
Speaker 4: That's right, Yeah he did.
Speaker 2: He's got to be quiet when he goes to practice.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 4: Yet, by the way, I think we've lost Matt and Drew.
Speaker 4: I don't think they're coming back. Do you think they're
Speaker 4: going to be back before that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, they'll be here for the last segment because they're
Speaker 2: going to be excited about what they saw. Like Mario
Speaker 2: and ioware and we were both excited, and you got
Speaker 2: to see the team. I didn't want to leave. I
Speaker 2: wanted to stay. I wanted to stay and watch more
Speaker 2: of the practice, but I kne we had to get back.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you want to take some calls, Let's do it.
Speaker 2: Let's take some more calls.
Speaker 4: All right, let's go to Chris. I don't know if
Speaker 4: any of these people are at the arena, but we'll
Speaker 4: find out. Chris is up next.
Speaker 10: Hey, guys, I'm not at the arena, but I do
Speaker 10: have a very special announcement. It is my mom's, Patricia
Speaker 10: Schwartz's seventy ninth birthday, and I just wanted to wish
Speaker 10: her a very happy birthday. And I love you so much.
Speaker 2: Mom, Oh, that's happy birthday, Patricia.
Speaker 4: There you go, hey baby, stop happy. You wanted just
Speaker 4: to give a shout Okay, we're just doing shout outs.
Speaker 2: Now, I guess shout out for birthdays.
Speaker 4: All right, all right, let's go to Brian. Hey, Brian, Yes,
Speaker 4: I was.
Speaker 9: Calling to give some information. Can you hear me?
Speaker 10: Ye?
Speaker 4: Go ahead?
Speaker 7: Hello, I give you some.
Speaker 9: Information about why about why Robert Downey Junior was there.
Speaker 9: Robert Kennedy Jr. He was there because sorry, sorry about that.
Speaker 9: He was there because of the Kentucky Oregon uh, the
Speaker 9: Official Kentucky org Center. He shut it down because they
Speaker 9: had been harvesting organs from people who weren't completely dated.
Speaker 9: One guy was on the site.
Speaker 2: Move go ahead, appreciate the fun thought because I have
Speaker 2: no idea what he's talking about. You guys talk about
Speaker 2: that when we were gone or something?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 4: No, no, wa, well he was we were talking about
Speaker 4: RFK was in. RFK Junior was in Lexington yesterday and
Speaker 4: went out to eat and there's some pictures that were
Speaker 4: taken and then apparently he also worked out in a
Speaker 4: gym and his jeans. But so yeah, I think he
Speaker 4: may have been gone that segment we were.
Speaker 2: Talking about that. Yeah, I didn't know what he's talking
Speaker 2: about that.
Speaker 4: In another well, we got some open lines eight five, nine,
Speaker 4: two eight, twenty two eighty seven. I did get my
Speaker 4: brown suit yesterday, Ryan.
Speaker 2: Did you come to Lexon and pick it up?
Speaker 7: Now?
Speaker 4: I had it delivered to level nice. Yeah. Yeah, so
Speaker 4: I'm excited about it. I was telling Mario. He was like,
Speaker 4: did you try it on? I go, well, no, because
Speaker 4: number one, if I did try the thing on and
Speaker 4: it didn't fit for some reason, it's too late at
Speaker 4: this point. That's true, So it is what it is.
Speaker 4: And then secondly, I didn't want to take it off
Speaker 4: the riot because I felt like if I did and
Speaker 4: then try to put it back like in my closet,
Speaker 4: it would end up wrinkled, and then I would have
Speaker 4: wrinkled clothes for the wedding. So I just let it
Speaker 4: be and then I'm going to try it on Saturday
Speaker 4: for the first time, right before the wedding.
Speaker 2: But well, I did see I mean again, I'm no
Speaker 2: Bill Meck, but the weather forecast has gone from like
Speaker 2: seventy two percent chanceer rain to like twenty five percent
Speaker 2: chanceer rain. It was drastically reduced for Saturday.
Speaker 4: Good, good, well, I hope everything goes well. I'm looking
Speaker 4: forward to your prayer. I mean that that was big
Speaker 4: news yesterday that you were going to do the prayer.
Speaker 2: I appreciate them ask of me. I'm looking forward to it. So,
Speaker 2: you know, special blessing for our happy couple before the
Speaker 2: meal is served. So I'll be glad to do it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that's coming up Saturday, that it's gonna be
Speaker 4: a big day for Billy and we're all gonna be magic,
Speaker 4: except for you said you've got something that you're gonna wear.
Speaker 3: That.
Speaker 4: I don't know if it scares me or not when
Speaker 4: you say you've got something that you're gonna wear, because
Speaker 4: normally that means something inappropriate.
Speaker 2: It's not inappropriate. It's yeah, a little different than what
Speaker 2: we're all going to be having on so on. And
Speaker 2: I you know, I admit I'll probably be the best
Speaker 2: looking dude there at the wedding. So in your own mind,
Speaker 2: I don't want to steal the spotlight from the bride
Speaker 2: and the groom. But evarghly, it's when I walk in,
Speaker 2: it's what's gonna happen.
Speaker 4: I understand. All right, let's go to Scotty from Florida. Hey, Scotty,
Speaker 4: what's up guys?
Speaker 8: So Ryan your overreaction Thursday? Are we winning at all?
Speaker 8: I hang up and listen.
Speaker 2: Appreciate that, Scotty. I don't think we have a team
Speaker 2: that can win it all. But we got a team
Speaker 2: I think we can really like and get excited about
Speaker 2: and enjoy watching. I think they're going to be a
Speaker 2: really good offensive team. They're going to shoot the ball
Speaker 2: really really well. And uh, you know, I heard Goose
Speaker 2: on the Leech Report this morning, Shanning Goose said that
Speaker 2: they're a better defensive team than people giving them credit for.
Speaker 2: You see a lot of that today, being a great
Speaker 2: defensive stopping team because everybody was shooting the lights out
Speaker 2: when we when I was there.
Speaker 4: And hearing that this team reminds him more of the
Speaker 4: first year's team, Yes, also gets me a little excited.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: You know, last year's team was just frustrating to watch it, Toms,
Speaker 4: it was there were you know you go back to
Speaker 4: I mean, if you want to pick out one game specifically,
Speaker 4: I think the Gonzaga game is the game that stands
Speaker 4: out is like what are we doing out there? But
Speaker 4: hearing that this year's team has got more characteristics of
Speaker 4: the first team that he had here, which, by the way,
Speaker 4: I remember that was a team that he threw together
Speaker 4: in just like six weeks. So you still got one
Speaker 4: other spot too, as we mentioned too. So this this team,
Speaker 4: I don't want to get too over excited about it
Speaker 4: based off of and I haven't seen any of it,
Speaker 4: and just based off of what everybody's saying. But you
Speaker 4: do like the comparison more so than the first team
Speaker 4: than last year's team.
Speaker 2: And I think a lot of the comparison is these
Speaker 2: guys is a team that you're really gonna enjoy watching.
Speaker 2: You know we were that first team. Oh they're back.
Speaker 2: Let's get the report good live from Upperna, Matt and Drew.
Speaker 4: Yeah, hello there shit, yes, yes, you guys are back.
Speaker 4: You made it back quick.
Speaker 3: You know that walk was sponsored by Corn Brad Hemp.
Speaker 5: You go to Corporatehimp dot com and you are able
Speaker 5: to get Seltzer's. You're able to get gummies, everything you'd
Speaker 5: need at Corporate hip dot Com. Used my promo codec y.
Speaker 5: Remember we're trying to save Himp in the Kentucky workplace,
Speaker 5: well not just the workplace, but also the home place.
Speaker 5: Cornbreadhimp dot com. Use a promo code KSR. Drew and
Speaker 5: I are back. We lost Mario Shannon and the young
Speaker 5: guy can't keep up with the old guys.
Speaker 4: Oh wow, really.
Speaker 3: That's right here. We lost him.
Speaker 5: He can't he's walking behind us.
Speaker 3: He couldn't keep up. We lost him on Maine somewhere
Speaker 3: I don't want to get We'll give our report.
Speaker 5: I enjoyed it and made me a little happy, maybe
Speaker 5: even old Scrooge over here. I'll feel a little happier.
Speaker 5: We'll take a break and very back and do it.
Speaker 5: It's KSR. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. All right, Drew,
Speaker 5: you and I just got back eight five nine two
Speaker 5: eight twenty two eighty seven, text machine seven seven two
Speaker 5: seven seven four five two five four. Let's go over
Speaker 5: some stuff. First of all, big crowd would be crowd
Speaker 5: three four hundred five maybe four hundred.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: And I love that people are just able on a
Speaker 6: Thursday morning to just drop what they're doing to get
Speaker 6: the reparna.
Speaker 3: Yeah. People kind of going in and out.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but you could tell some people just run in
Speaker 6: just a quick glance, maybe early lunch break.
Speaker 3: But it's very cool if you cad to do that. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that was very very cool.
Speaker 5: That was in It's a neat little setting because you
Speaker 5: feel like you're, you know, Ryan seeing something other people
Speaker 5: haven't seen. And I think that was a neat thing
Speaker 5: for them to do.
Speaker 2: It heard from a lot of dads who went and
Speaker 2: got their kid and they said let's go. It just
Speaker 2: ran out the door.
Speaker 3: They announced it, like last night.
Speaker 6: How many people you think, Oh yeah, anyone that had
Speaker 6: time to drive a little farther. I think people would
Speaker 6: come from all over the state. You only had about
Speaker 6: an hour, maybe a little more.
Speaker 3: But that was cool.
Speaker 5: Then uh, all right, so again we saw seven minutes.
Speaker 5: So let's just overreact. Melon's the best shooter. He he
Speaker 5: hit a.
Speaker 3: Shot that that was that like dribble in like who
Speaker 3: used to shoot those?
Speaker 5: A lot? Aberdeen would shoot those last year, you know,
Speaker 5: take a step in and put the Jalen Brunson show,
Speaker 5: huh and he it was like in whoever it was
Speaker 5: Gardning's face, that dude's gonna be And when he made it,
Speaker 5: Pope started screaming, best shooter in America, Best shooter in America,
Speaker 5: best shooter in America.
Speaker 2: Well he when Mari and I was there, he didn't
Speaker 2: miss a shot. That was one of our big takeaways.
Speaker 2: He was like five or five in the transition five
Speaker 2: five against gonna be, He's gonna be, didn't miss a shot.
Speaker 6: He's the player on the whole team where I feel
Speaker 6: like we know exactly what we're gonna get. He's not
Speaker 6: gonna let us down. How many points of games you're
Speaker 6: gonna have? Uh eighteen?
Speaker 3: I think, I mean like he's gonna pull.
Speaker 5: He's also gonna give driving lanes for the guards because
Speaker 5: he's gonna pull whoever's guard names good cannot leave his
Speaker 5: side because if he gets a step, I mean going out,
Speaker 5: it's going up and it's going in. I mean, Pope
Speaker 5: was screaming, best shooter in America.
Speaker 2: But your other big takeaways the.
Speaker 3: The kid for from Winchester. He scored Mordon.
Speaker 6: He got a bucket round when we walked in. As
Speaker 6: we walk in, he looked good.
Speaker 2: And he's kind of a more of an energy guy.
Speaker 2: But if he can provide a little offense, yeah, I'll
Speaker 2: get some minutes.
Speaker 6: Mason Williams doesn't shut up. No, he was like that
Speaker 6: at TBT. He was the one jawing with Mario Chalmers
Speaker 6: at Chalmers So he's like a.
Speaker 5: True freshman, true fresh yelling like he was yelling at Malachi.
Speaker 5: He was like yelling at who is that Justin McBride.
Speaker 2: Okay, you don't even know this because we didn't say
Speaker 2: it till he left. Marian almost said, if you picked
Speaker 2: a point guard today, it's him. He was the best
Speaker 2: point guard on the floor when when we were there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I didn't really get to see the Zoom for
Speaker 5: whatever reason, wasn't in the ton when we were there.
Speaker 3: But I was just amazed at how much Mason was.
Speaker 2: Dude's gonna play, isn't he He's gonna play.
Speaker 3: He's gonna play. Yeah, I mean that could end up
Speaker 3: being a steel.
Speaker 2: Yeah freshman, right backup point guard.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Alex Wilkins is tiny, like like like for people
Speaker 5: who go, oh well, I still think he's gonna be
Speaker 5: really good. I still hold Alex Wilkins stock. But he's
Speaker 5: he's tiny, he's gonna be shorter. He might be shorter
Speaker 5: in zoom.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And he's he's all bones and he's a score.
Speaker 6: He's gonna get his buckets. But defensively, when he gets
Speaker 6: against bigger guards in the SEC, that might be a problem.
Speaker 5: You could just kind that's the first time I've seen
Speaker 5: in person. I was kind of surprised how skinny.
Speaker 2: He was, small statue, like Drew said, kind of just
Speaker 2: his frame is not very thick.
Speaker 5: Now, Frank is a massive man. Yeah, I mean i'd
Speaker 5: fight him, but pretty much anybody else shouldn't.
Speaker 2: You'd run out the door if he turned on you.
Speaker 2: That dude is a massive, massive human being.
Speaker 6: I was just happy to see him in a uniform
Speaker 6: after he's missed most of the summer. He was standing
Speaker 6: on the sideline most of the time Matt and I
Speaker 6: were there.
Speaker 2: He didn't really he didn't let him down the floor
Speaker 2: when you guys were there.
Speaker 3: No, we were a little bit.
Speaker 6: But he was dressed out and sweaty like he had
Speaker 6: just been working out. So I'm just glad to see
Speaker 6: him be available because keeping him healthy, I think is
Speaker 6: a big part of the whole season.
Speaker 3: Was bigger.
Speaker 2: He didn't play. He wasn't practicing. They said he didn't
Speaker 2: practice all at all. Today.
Speaker 3: It didn't look like he was. He didn't.
Speaker 5: He just looked to me like he was physically bigger. Yeah,
Speaker 5: that Reese Parter was playing a lot.
Speaker 6: He hostly saw the backups playing a little short scrimmage.
Speaker 2: Our other big takeaway for Mario and I was justin McBride.
Speaker 2: If he had to pick a starter for the four,
Speaker 2: it probably would have been him today just to what
Speaker 2: we saw.
Speaker 3: He still he's still got about ten or fifteen pounds
Speaker 3: of baby fat. He needs to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably get a three. In transition when they were
Speaker 2: going five on five.
Speaker 3: It was fun.
Speaker 5: I mean Mark Fox was doing most of the coaching,
Speaker 5: but Mark Pope was just I mean, he ain't good.
Speaker 5: To remember last year we went to practice that went
Speaker 5: for the media, he like almost didn't talk.
Speaker 3: Not in this one. Mark Pope said he's yelling yeah,
Speaker 3: and he's like going at him.
Speaker 7: Well.
Speaker 6: Alex Wilkins, when I interviewed him a week or two ago,
Speaker 6: he said, I've seen people say dark Pope online. I
Speaker 6: just want you all to know that's how he is
Speaker 6: behind the scenes. He's intense and I was thinking, really yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean, practices to two and he didn't speak during
Speaker 5: most of him He was very quiet, I don't know,
Speaker 5: not speak, but like he let it. But not in
Speaker 5: this one. He stopped practice three or four times when
Speaker 5: they would do one little thing wrong. Reminds me that's
Speaker 5: kind of how cow could be sometimes.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Fox was running mostly with the clipboard out there.
Speaker 6: But again, they just have so many people involved, even
Speaker 6: they weren't coaching, Like, the sideline was full of people
Speaker 6: with iPads and clipboards and so that was exciting.
Speaker 3: I'm glad they did it.
Speaker 2: We all got a chance be on there least, yes,
Speaker 2: soaking in a little bit.
Speaker 3: Shannon, Shannon didn't get seen anything. That's so that's okay.
Speaker 4: I got to talk to good though, so that's it's good.
Speaker 2: Enough for me.
Speaker 3: Jack Gibbons just called in.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, we just told the story how Pope shushed
Speaker 2: somebody in the crowd and then somebody let us know
Speaker 2: he shushed Goose. Goose like called in right right.
Speaker 3: After he told Jack Gibbs to stop talking.
Speaker 2: He turned around. I don't think he knew who it
Speaker 2: was it was talking. He had turned around like guys, guys,
Speaker 2: and it was Goose and an assistant.
Speaker 5: I don't know if you all you all had Preacher
Speaker 5: on here right, Yes, he came in right next time.
Speaker 3: He was yelling.
Speaker 5: When he was on the it's dead silent in there,
Speaker 5: so if you talk, he said, down right next to me,
Speaker 5: are you talking to the show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he gave us a live report.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we saw Sam our other correspondent.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so that was that was Neat. Good job UK, absolutely,
