Speaker 2: down there on the beach together, ailing each other up

15
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,319
Speaker 2: like we know they like to do doing. God knows

16
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: what's going on down there in Panama City. But today

17
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 2: I brought my dear friends from our KSR Rapid Reaction Crew.

18
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 2: You see them after games on ksr's Utie Tube channel.

19
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 2: The three of us. We used to do it indoors,

20
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 2: but here lately you've seen us out in the elements

21
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 2: after every game, doing our rapid reactions on the streets.

22
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 2: We have a lot of fun doing it. It's me,

23
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: Jack Pilgrim and Zach Gagan making his KSR radio debut,

24
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: Dunbar's own Zach Gagan. Good to have you here. Zach

25
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 2: and Jack had to bring you back after you had

26
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 2: a hot hand yesterday. We're not nearly as chaotic as

27
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 2: we were yesterday as we got started on yesterday's show.

28
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 2: We'll talk more about that, but first let me tell

29
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 2: you about TJ Smith, our sponsor. He's your personal injury

30
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: lawyer to call, and if you call TJ he will

31
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 2: absolutely make them pay. Today, we want to hear from

32
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: you on the Clark's Pumping Shop phone line at eight

33
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: five nine two eight h two two eight seven. I

34
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 2: swear I'm gonna start getting the callers. We've been so

35
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 2: busy here lately. Yesterday you know, we had Jayden calling

36
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 2: in with a crying baby in the background, had a

37
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: good interview with Tianni Key. But I still want to

38
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: hear from the KSR listeners. I hope you out there

39
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: you're out there. We've been getting good feedback so far

40
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: through two days. We'll also get the Whiskey Thief Call

41
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 2: of the day. And if you want to talk to Matt,

42
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 2: he has the a vision auto glass text machine over

43
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: in Amsterdam, where I have no idea what time of

44
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: day it is, but he tweeted a picture of some

45
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 2: beautiful tulips. Looks like he's having some good weather over

46
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 2: there and having a good time. All those guys will

47
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 2: be back on Monday before. Right now, you got Drew,

48
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 2: Jack and Zach ready to talk a little ball. First,

49
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 2: I got a shout out Monique here at Chaos Bar.

50
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 2: I walk in and she's just got her hands covered

51
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 2: an egg salad, which reminded me it's Master's Week par

52
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 2: three tournament today and she has cooked up the Master

53
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 2: special we have every year, the traditions from Augusta, and

54
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 2: she made a sampler out of it. You get one

55
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 2: pimental cheese slider, one pulled pork slider, and one egg

56
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: salad slider. That's the three iconic sandwiches down at Augusta.

57
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 2: So if you can't make it to Augusta, come to

58
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 2: Chaos Bar today. I'm hanging around all afternoon, gonna get

59
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: some par three on TV. We'll preview Augusta tomorrow and

60
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: everything going on down at the Masters. But we got

61
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 2: a lot of basketball going on and Jack, I'll be honest,

62
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 2: I'm a little disappointed. You've been here for ten minutes

63
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 2: and there's not been a commitment yet. I thought you

64
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 2: had a hot hand after yesterday long show. We got

65
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: two hours. Okay, So that is that a teaser? Do

66
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 2: I need to get the already?

67
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 3: I just after the absolute hecnic miss the chaos of yesterday.

68
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 3: I'm making no promises like this. This show could get

69
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 3: off the rails in seconds. So just you know, I'm giddy.

70
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 3: I'm excited now that we've taken a breath. That was

71
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 3: pretty wild yesterday.

72
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 2: How fun was that? I mean, you were, as I said,

73
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 2: welcome to Kentucky Sports Radio. You were on the phone

74
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 2: like I got to call you back, Call you back,

75
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 2: I call you back. Well, we'll talk to you eleven.

76
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 2: You were, you were working the phones there with the

77
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 2: Quainton's family as he was on his way to rehab.

78
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 2: He had committed five minutes before the show started, So

79
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: Rick got to hit the Wandi Nana right away. We

80
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: kind of broke the news. For anyone that didn't have

81
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: their phone out on Twitter yesterday morning.

82
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 3: It was stressful. It was a lot. We were very calm.

83
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 3: I remember we walked in yesterday and you got You

84
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 3: and Stephen were in the back, and I walked in

85
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 3: and said, hey, I think we're about to get a

86
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 3: Jaden Quentin's commitments. I don't know when it's gonna happen,

87
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 3: but I'm feeling pretty darn good about this. And then

88
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 3: I looked at my phone and it was like thirty

89
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 3: seconds later we get the notification. It was like, oh crap, okay,

90
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 3: show is all the plans that we had for the

91
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 3: show completely thrown out. Let's let's you know, refocus, regroup.

92
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 3: So it was it was a lot, and if you

93
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 3: listen to that opening segment you could probably tell we

94
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 3: were a little a little frazzled, if you will, and

95
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 3: but I think we were recovered nicely.

96
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 2: I stuttered through most of it. I think I got

97
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: all of our ads wrong. But there was a lot

98
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 2: going on. And Zach, you weren't here yesterday, but you

99
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: cover it just as much as anyone else for ksr's

100
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 2: website ks Board. I'll go ahead and get your thoughts

101
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: on what happened yesterday. We'll just get right to it.

102
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 2: Get this roster breakdown. There's even more portal movement to

103
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 2: watch today. But what did you think of the addition

104
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: of Quaintance and the time it dropped yesterday?

105
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 4: Well, I kind of got a little bit of a

106
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 4: hint just from Jack ahead of time to maybe be

107
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 4: prepared about it, so I was getting ready to write

108
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 4: posts about it, and then it just kind of happened.

109
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 4: So I was scrambling myself while Jack was here having

110
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 4: to get ready for the show. So I was trying

111
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 4: to do all the stuff behind the scenes and get

112
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 4: that ready. But it's it's a pretty massive land. It's

113
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 4: the big fish that Pope has been wanting to reel

114
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 4: in and fans have been wanting him to reil in,

115
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 4: So it really is. It is kind of impressive and

116
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 4: amazing that it happened within like twenty four hours. It

117
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 4: felt like less than that, where it just all came

118
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 4: together and now Jane Quaeman's is a cat again. Let's

119
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 4: get right to it, Jack. You know, the just because

120
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 4: Quainten's got added didn't mean it just stopped and the

121
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 4: roster's done. I mean there's still people to watch. I

122
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,799
Speaker 4: know Yeats is a name a lot of people wanted.

123
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 4: Others have emerged there, But sticking with the quaintance news

124
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 4: has is there any trickle effect coming from that that

125
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 4: could happen with UK's roster or anything we need to

126
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 4: watch there?

127
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, you get the portal season is just

128
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 3: hilarious because you get the first, like you kind of

129
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 3: just have to take it in waves. You get the first. Okay,

130
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 3: the season just ended. Who is the guaranteed out? Kerkrisa

131
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 3: was the name that you heard weeks weeks ago, months

132
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 3: ago that Kerr would not be back.

133
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 2: So that was like you.

134
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 3: Felt confident saying, okay, let's just kind of we start

135
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 3: without him and then just kind of make our way

136
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 3: from there. They feel solid about bringing back the five

137
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 3: guys that you know have remaining eligibility while kind of acknowledging, okay,

138
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 3: if there were a couple of potential you know, wafflers,

139
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 3: if you will, maybe one domino effect leading to another

140
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 3: Braindon Garrison was one that you know popped up pretty

141
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 3: regularly as a maybe likely you know, one foot in

142
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 3: but you know, not necessarily not having one one extra

143
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 3: foot foot out so that was one that you know,

144
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 3: once the Jadan Quaintons news happened, there was some you know,

145
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 3: some scuttle butt like throughout the afternoon and evening that

146
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 3: that could be one that we could be keeping an

147
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 3: eye on. I don't think anything's done. I don't think

148
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 3: anything's finalized, but that is one that I just kind

149
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 3: of have in the you know, my peripheral right now.

150
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, Pope spoke very highly of Garrison throughout the end

151
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 2: of the season, almost sounding like he's coming back, will

152
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 2: be a big piece of this team. But if you're

153
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 2: Brandon Garrison and you see Jayden Quainton's just got recruited,

154
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 2: you do gotta wonder, you know, Zach maybe some writings

155
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 2: on the wall. But of course he could stay, and

156
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 2: I think they'll leave him. He'll be a big piece.

157
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 2: But it's understandable Garrison does start looking around that Quaintance

158
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 2: is now in the mix.

159
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know, there's still minutes to go around

160
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 4: because the front court is still kind of the one

161
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 4: area where they're not as deep as you know, they've

162
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 4: got like eight or nine cards right now. It feels

163
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 4: like a couple of guys can maybe slide down like

164
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 4: Cam Williams or even Trent Noah. But there are ford

165
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 4: front court minutes to go around, so it'll be interesting

166
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 4: to see, if you know, Pope, there's the word going

167
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 4: around as he wants to add another shooter. Is that

168
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 4: a shooting guard? Is that a stretch shooting guy? So

169
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 4: you know, maybe they're looking to add another piece of

170
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 4: that front court too, and then then things maybe get

171
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 4: a little bit crowded. So but as it's constructed right now,

172
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 4: you can still see a path for Brandon Garrison to

173
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 4: play big minutes. Just kind of depends, I guess on

174
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 4: how Pope wants to spend these last one or two

175
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 4: roster spots or however he ends up playing this out

176
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 4: this offseason.

177
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: Matt even broke his silence from the tulip farm yesterday

178
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 2: to tweet about UK is still gonna add a shooter.

179
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 2: Yates was a name we were watching. Felt good about

180
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 2: that yesterday, but it seems throughout the afternoon Toidd's might

181
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,679
Speaker 2: have turned a little bit. He still had made a decision.

182
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 2: But where do things stand with Wesley Yates, the USC

183
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 2: shooting guard that hit the portal.

184
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 3: It's been since the second he put his name in

185
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 3: the portal, it's been Washington or Kentucky. I think there

186
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 3: was a lot of optimism on both sides. Washington thought

187
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 3: they had them, Kentucky thought they had him. But a

188
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 3: lot of it had to do with what Quincy Pondexter,

189
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 3: who found out he was his cousin like two years

190
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 3: ago and now they're just the best of friends and

191
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 3: following each other across the country. So yeah, that's how

192
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 3: I found out, Like it was on the cold call

193
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 3: where he offered a scholarship to Wesleyates. That's when they

194
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 3: figured it out. Yeah, it was an article I read.

195
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 3: That's how they figured it out. A cold call, A

196
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 3: fascinating story. But I think Quincy's kind of leveraging that

197
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 3: into getting back on the Washington staff and saying, hey,

198
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 3: I got a potential draft pick coming with me if

199
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 3: you bring me back to Washington. So it's complicated, and

200
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 3: I think it got to the point where, you know,

201
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 3: he's a very talented player, future draft pick comes with

202
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 3: the price tag of a future draft pick. So I

203
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 3: think it kind of got to the point where Washington's

204
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 3: kind of gaining momentum as Kentucky's saying, okay, well, we

205
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 3: have so many different names out there that we just

206
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 3: need a shooter, like we don't. It doesn't have to

207
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 3: be that shooter. We had just had one role to fill.

208
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 3: And if it starts getting into a bit war, that's

209
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 3: not necessarily something I'm in love with. So I think

210
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 3: it is kind of trending toward fork in a fork

211
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 3: in the road that is going the opposite direction there.

212
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 3: But Lamar Wilkerson is a kid. Sam Houston state that

213
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 3: that one's picking up as we speak, and that's one

214
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 3: that I would keep an eye on. But again, there's

215
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 3: two thousand names in the portal. If it's not that kid,

216
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 3: and then it's not the next one, then it's gonna

217
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 3: be the one after that. So you're in a really

218
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 3: comfortable spot right now where you only have one real

219
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 3: need to fill and then whatever happens with Garrison, I mean,

220
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 3: I think you have five guys with returning eligibility. Anything

221
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 3: could change on a dime, But but you know, you're

222
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 3: in a really comfortable spot with where things are on

223
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 3: the options you have.

224
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 2: If it's not Yets, the Wilkerson name that popped up

225
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 2: from Sam Houston, he shot forty four point five percent

226
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 2: from three on several attempts. I think he hit like

227
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 2: ninety on the season, shooting at that rate twenty one

228
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 2: points a game, Zach, I wouldn't be mad if he

229
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 2: wants to get in here shooting forty five percent from three,

230
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 2: we'll take We'll fill that spot right now if he's ready.

231
00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think one more shooting guard is definitely that

232
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 4: would be something that they could use that and to

233
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 4: stretch for, Like if they can take another look at

234
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 4: the Alvaro Vulgaris kid from Spain. We still don't know

235
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 4: if he's in Spain or not out of Robert Morris.

236
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 4: That kid like a six foot nine guy with a

237
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 4: seven foot five wingspan, calling the octopus. That's like his

238
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 4: Spanish nickname is. So what's the Spanish version of that?

239
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 4: I couldn't. I would butcher it if i'd have to

240
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 4: look poopo? Is that you could?

241
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 3: You can?

242
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 2: I could sit here all day and I would not

243
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 2: have a clue what that is.

244
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 4: So I think what's nice is Pope can really be

245
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 4: he can start to get picky now and be patient.

246
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 4: We still got thirteen days left that the portal is open,

247
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 4: so you're still gonna get an influx of names going

248
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 4: in over the next two weeks, so he can he

249
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 4: can play his he can play things out and see, like,

250
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 4: you know what, what does Brandon Garrison want to do?

251
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 3: Poopole?

252
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 5: There you go?

253
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 3: Is that?

254
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 2: Did you just pull that out of thin error?

255
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 3: No?

256
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, he goes his nickname okay poopoctionary dot com and

257
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 4: translated it. But yeah, so it's they definitely need one

258
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 4: more shooter though. I think that's the one missing piece

259
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 4: of this roster, whether it comes to the front quarter

260
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 4: of the back court. I get think it just looking

261
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 4: at the roster construction, if you can add another guy

262
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 4: to the front cord that can shoot and stretch the

263
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 4: floor a little bit, I think you're going to have

264
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 4: almost like a complete perfect roster of what Pope is

265
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 4: looking for. But with the unknowns of Brandon Garrison and

266
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 4: then you know, other names can pop in and out

267
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 4: like it's just the like Check said, it comes in waves.

268
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 3: So do that again, El Poopo.

269
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 2: It almost sounds like the Pope, El Popo.

270
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 5: It fits.

271
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 2: It kind of feels right, Am I hearing that correctly?

272
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 3: If you say it quickly, Yeah, for sure, El poopo

273
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 3: p u l p o.

274
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 2: Okay, Hope and Spanish. A caller on Monday reported that

275
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 2: El Poopo was Uh was back from Spain, and then

276
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 2: I was quickly told that caller was incorrect. I gave

277
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,719
Speaker 2: the caller credit. I was like, well, you're reporting it,

278
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 2: We're going with it. So it's everyone that listened on

279
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 2: Monday and thought the Spaniard had arrived back state side

280
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 2: because a KSR caller said it that is was factually incorrect.

281
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 2: Not my apologies. You don't get to hear fact though,

282
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,719
Speaker 2: that is true. Facts are very optional. We do want

283
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 2: to hear your facts, whether they're incorrect or correct. Eight

284
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 2: five nine two a H two two eight seven. I

285
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 2: saw if Dante Allen is in the portal. There's been

286
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 2: no communication with Kentucky and Dante UH that I know of,

287
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 2: and it's probably not realistic at all, But wouldn't that

288
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 2: be wild? Just another Kentucky guy of this roster.

289
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 3: I need a shooter. I'm good on one reunion and

290
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 3: Jayden Quainton's fills fills that void pretty nicely. I'm gonna

291
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 3: eligibility left unbelievable.

292
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 2: There's a lot of former cats in the portal. UH.

293
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 2: Someone on cas board last night wrote they wanted Jordan Burk's.

294
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 3: Back on the reunions. I'm very good on I'm not.

295
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 2: I mean, we wish all these guys well, Devin, ask

296
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 2: you Cam Fletcher. Who else we got in the portal?

297
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 2: I guess Big D found Bryce Hopkins. Yeah, we wish

298
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 2: him well, but we don't need to do a complete reunion.

299
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 2: But there are a lot of a lot of them.

300
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 2: Is A Has there been anything on DJ? He's sticking

301
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 2: around in Arkansas. I know A dou entered the draft yesterday.

302
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 2: I think he put out of players on the roster

303
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 2: right now, do put out a whoop pig. I'm going

304
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,599
Speaker 2: to the NBA post. So good luck to a do

305
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 2: Even though you know he did call the Hogs, I

306
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 2: still have his soft for a Doe. I always liked him,

307
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 2: so I hope he has a good career. But port

308
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 2: a full of former cats. You don't want any of them? No, no,

309
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 2: just we're good.

310
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 3: We're good right where we are.

311
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 2: So you say we're good right now right at a shooter,

312
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 2: an unnamed shooter, call it Yates Wilgerson, whoever, someone to

313
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 2: be named later, you're feeling good. That'd be thirteen players

314
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 2: if they find shooting. Maybe it's the Alvaro Spaniard. Heck,

315
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 2: maybe they add two, who knows, but you're feeling good

316
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 2: about where things stand now. Lowe's likely running your point guard.

317
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 2: We're assuming Otega always coming back. There's still not really

318
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 2: been any buzz about that, but you know, it could

319
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 2: just be the case he's coming back. Doesn't have to

320
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 2: tell anyone you like the way the roster stands.

321
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 3: If you can guarantee me that O take and I

322
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 3: think there's still some real optimism about Otego coming back,

323
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 3: if you can guarantee me that he can kind of

324
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 3: be your your anchor in the middle there. Scoring wise,

325
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 3: I think that's a contending roster. I think it's a

326
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 3: very very good team that upgraded at a lot of positions,

327
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 3: that upgraded in depth. I really don't if you again,

328
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 3: as constructed as you know we're talking in this hypothetical,

329
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 3: I think that team really doesn't have a single flaw

330
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 3: that you can point out and go, ah, you know,

331
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 3: I don't know if they have enough of this. I

332
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 3: think that's a team that can content.

333
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 2: All right, we'll keep talking basketball throughout the show. We

334
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 2: got some other things. Our friend Billy Hobbs from True

335
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 2: Blue Customs is here at KAOS Barr to listen to us.

336
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 2: He makes all the sneakers for athletes, both college and pro.

337
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 2: We're gonna bring him on at one point just ask him,

338
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 2: how do you do that?

339
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 5: How are you so talented?

340
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 2: Number one fan? It's amazing, right, I got a pair

341
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 2: of Taco Bell Jordan's from him that Abby got me

342
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 2: from a birthday years ago. But I think that would

343
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 2: be an interesting conversation. He only works with a lot

344
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 2: of athletes here and how that goes Later in the show,

345
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 2: Josh Hopkins is gonna call in. I believe he's in Austin, Texas,

346
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 2: that's where he lives, but he's also out of shoot,

347
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 2: so who knows he could be anywhere. But those are

348
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 2: two guests today. And of course we have Zach here

349
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 2: making his KSR radio debut, even though you've heard a

350
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 2: lot from him on ksr's podcast, ksr's YouTube channel with

351
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 2: the rapid reactions, and of course Jack from sources say

352
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 2: you see these guys all the time. You even did

353
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 2: a reaction yesterday for Jaden and Quainton, so everyone go

354
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 2: check that out. You hadn't got enough content from those

355
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 2: two here on the radio. But We'll take a quick

356
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 2: break and we'll be right back with lots more. This

357
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 2: is KSR. Welcome back to KSR. Drew Franklin here hosting

358
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 2: the show with my dear friends Jack Pilgrim and Zach Gagan.

359
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 2: You know, I like to think of myself as a

360
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 2: man of the people, But the last two days I've

361
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 2: not been letting the people get on the phone lines

362
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 2: here and talk on this show. We've been a little

363
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 2: too busy. I have over programmed. So today I want

364
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 2: to get a head start on the Clark's Pumping Shop

365
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 2: phone line. Give us a call there at eight five

366
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 2: nine two two two eight seven, and my guy Rick

367
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 2: tells me we already have people on the line, so

368
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 2: let's just get to our first caller. Got Andy up first, Andy,

369
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 2: thanks for calling in.

370
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 6: Hey, what's up, guys.

371
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 5: How's it going?

372
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 2: Andy's favorite Andy?

373
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, Hey, Jackson Robinson. I will say, my uh, most

374
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 6: fondest memory of Jackson Robinson is not even Jackson Robinson

375
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 6: doing anything in stuff as it's Jack and y'all on

376
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 6: doing that podcast six hours untill fuller in the morning,

377
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 6: wait on him to make the decision whether it goes

378
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 6: pro or not. I'm kind of hoping we'd have a

379
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 6: player at that time and get a repeat of that.

380
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 6: But and my question is with the SEC right now.

381
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 6: I know we've done a lot in the portal, but

382
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 6: I've not really heard a lot of big movement with

383
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 6: all the other teams in the SEC, knowing they've lost

384
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 6: a lot of guys and the SEC having a big

385
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 6: year like it did this last year, record breaking year?

386
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 6: Do you think that we will have it a little

387
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 6: easier next year than the SEC? From you know, two

388
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 6: games a week competition? Will the SEC be all a

389
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 6: little easier to power through next year than it was

390
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 6: this year?

391
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 2: I thank you, Andy, We appreciate the call. Always good

392
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 2: to hear from you. I'll start with his first part

393
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 2: of that jack You did a six hour marathon waiting

394
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 2: on Jackson Robinson can't kind of came down to the

395
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 2: deadline last summer. I think was Andy saying he wants

396
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 2: you to do that again. I assume you'd rather not

397
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 2: do a six hour YouTube stream, but you got through it.

398
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 3: We got to the point where we were talking about

399
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 3: whether or not we could be how many Pat Kelsey's

400
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 3: we could bench press. So I think we decided at

401
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 3: least two, maybe like two and a half Pat Kelsey's.

402
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 3: It was was that at the time was we were

403
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 3: trying to calculate what he weighed based on what his

404
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 3: playing day playing weight, so you got to add, you know,

405
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 3: fifteen twenty just for you know, age aging purposes. But yeah,

406
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 3: I think we decided to two and a half Pat Kelsey's.

407
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 3: We could, we could ventures it was. It was the

408
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 3: most ridiculous thing I've ever done doing doing this job,

409
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 3: but by far so I hope it doesn't get to

410
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 3: the point where we're stressing out over a last second

411
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 3: decision in that way, like maybe it's like Otega that guy,

412
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 3: Yeah has to It's kind of one of those types

413
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 3: of deals, you know. I I love the ridiculous, ridiculousness,

414
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 3: but I did not enjoy the gravity of what the

415
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 3: decision meant.

416
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 2: And the second part was the other sec rosters I

417
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 2: haven't been completely dialed in and all of them. I know.

418
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 2: Bruce was getting pretty desperate down at Auburn, which is

419
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 2: why he tried to get Jaden Quaint's at the last

420
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 2: minute hold that l Bruce also saw Bruce might be

421
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 2: getting Chad Baker Mazarre back at age twenty six. How

422
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 2: is this possible. We just made fun of him for

423
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 2: a whole year about go get a job, and now

424
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 2: he's putting out teasers saying he could return again for

425
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 2: the Tigers. College sports are out of control. If we're

426
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 2: have a twenty six year old playing for Auburn next year.

427
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 4: He's got to get on his parents' insurance. Get off

428
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 4: his parents' insurance this year. I think he turns twenty six,

429
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 4: so that's why he needs a nil money to pay

430
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 4: for Yeah, I guess eight insurance company a nice little

431
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 4: nil do right there with him.

432
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, hopefully the SEC isn't a stacked as it was

433
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 2: last year. That was a pretty unique year, as we

434
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 2: all know. Arkansas, I saw a tweet yesterday about how

435
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 2: they haven't gotten anyone out of the portal yet. They

436
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 2: do have a good freshman incoming class though DJ I

437
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 2: guess coming back. Billy Rich been probably coming back, so

438
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 2: they do have pieces. But I don't think Arkansas has

439
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 2: added anyone, right.

440
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they're kind of building around Milik Thomas

441
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 3: and Darius Acuff is kind of the you know, the

442
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 3: next meat dangling on a stick for for that fan

443
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 3: base and just that the next guys to get get

444
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,959
Speaker 3: him across the finish line. But yeah, a lot of

445
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 3: you know, part of the reason why this was such

446
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 3: a historic year in the SEC was was just the

447
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 3: seniors and just the experience, the fifth and sixth year guys,

448
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 3: the twelfth year guys, whatever, Chad Baker Mazzari is, you know,

449
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 3: sticking around as long as they did. You know, you

450
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 3: get the Walter Clayton's and you know a lot of

451
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 3: seniors that kind of this was their last hurrah. And

452
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 3: I don't think, you know, you'll never get another year

453
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 3: like what we just got in the SEC. I mean

454
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 3: that that was an all timer that will probably never

455
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 3: be top when you get fourteen to sixteen teams in

456
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 3: the NCAA tournament, so it's not gonna be as good.

457
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 3: But I do think a big part of that is

458
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 3: going to be all the experience leaving the conference, thank goodness.

459
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 2: And maybe Kentuck' is the team that's making it good.

460
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 2: Maybe we're the team everyone's watching in the final four.

461
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 2: Hopefully that's the case. Almost said Billy. Billy's right here

462
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 2: sitting at table. He's not on the show yet. Rick,

463
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 2: Who's up next?

464
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:06,960

475
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,480

Speaker 5: Thank you.

480
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 2: We appreciate the call. Thanks for mentioning the flooding. I

481
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 2: didn't get so much of that, but our hearts certainly

482
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 2: go out to everyone having to deal with that around

483
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 2: the state. Hopefully we're getting a little bit better on

484
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 2: the other end of it. But I mean some of

485
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 2: the scenes out of Louisville are beyond belief. And then

486
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 2: one that sticks out just the place I've been so

487
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 2: many times, Buffalo Trace being completely underwater. I know there's

488
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 2: people with their homes and much smaller areas that are

489
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 2: bad too, but something about seeing Buffalo Trace, the place

490
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 2: I was at just a few weeks ago, it is

491
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 2: in bad, bad shape. Same with a lot of recognizable

492
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 2: places in Louisville. Yeah.

493
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 4: Out in western Kentucky, where my girlfriend's from and her

494
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 4: family is, they just keep getting relentlessly hit like over

495
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 4: and over again. It feels like every so many months,

496
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,360
Speaker 4: some new storm, like new one hundred year storm hits

497
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 4: every three months over there. And I had a friend

498
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 4: as well who her sister saw like a house floating

499
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 4: in the back creek. Well it was a creek and

500
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 4: turned into a river essentially. And yeah, so there's been

501
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 4: a lot of crazy stuff going around the state the

502
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 4: last few days, but like you said, it actually is.

503
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 4: Today's probably the nicest day. It feels like it's been

504
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 4: in literally a whole week here in Kentucky.

505
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 2: So yeah, Western Kentucky's that's where my heart is. It's

506
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 2: been bad. And my aunt was gonna come visit earlier

507
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,959
Speaker 2: this week and she couldn't make the trip. So everyone

508
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 2: stay safe and hopefully we get past this soon. Let's

509
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 2: try to get one more in quickly. Rick, who's up next?

510
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 2: Got John up next? Josh? Give us your your quick

511
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 2: call here.

512
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 8: Yeah, hey, guys, I just had a question on the

513
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 8: jade and acquaintance. I had always heard and maybe I'm mistaken

514
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 8: that a full torn acl would take anywhere from eight

515
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 8: to twelve months to completely heal before you can get

516
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 8: back into playing sports again. Uh where, what's what's your

517
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 8: als percentage that he that he'll be ready by September October?

518
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 8: Thanks for taking my goal.

519
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 2: All right, we appreciate the call. We're coming up against

520
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 2: the hard break. Give a quick answer. I know yesterday

521
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 2: said a slight tear and things have changed so much

522
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 2: on that. He even said he's shooting for December at

523
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 2: the latest yesterday straight out of his mouth. So I

524
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 2: guess that's probably better than us giving a prediction there.

525
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, doctors are pretty optimistic that he'll be early part

526
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 3: of the season at some point.

527
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 2: All right, we're gonna take a quick break and we

528
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 2: come back. We're gonna talk about the sneaker business with

529
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 2: Billy Hobbs from Trubue Customs. So it's not Matt Jones.

530
00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 2: I gotta get that. I gotta get that bump fixed there.

531
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 2: We got to change that. I gotta keep correcting everyone.

532
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,360
Speaker 2: It's Drue Franklin here hosting KSR for the week while

533
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 2: Matt is away. This segment coming up is brought to

Speaker 2: to get Jayden Quainton yesterday. So good on you. I'm

552
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 2: excited by our guest joining us now. Billy Hobbs, one

553
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 2: of the most talented people you'll ever meet. If you

554
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 2: ever see UK athletes and they're sneakers have been hand

555
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 2: painted and customized, there's a good chance he did it.

556
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 2: He runs True Blue Customs here in Laxnia and does

557
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 2: shoes for college athletes. Pro athletes. Did something for me.

558
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 2: I think you've done several for Matt. Billy. It's good

559
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 2: to have you all with us today.

560
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 5: Thanks for having me on, guys, I really appreciate it.

561
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,199
Speaker 2: We want to hear a little bit about how this

562
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 2: business works. Obviously you're very talented, but how did you decide,

563
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 2: you know what, instead of just painting this or that,

564
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get into the sneaker world.

565
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 5: You know, growing up, I was always into sneakers obviously,

566
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 5: you know, I grew up in the Jordan one, Jordan Dude,

567
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 5: Jordan three, you know, they all came out. So I

568
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 5: was always into sneakers. I was always into art and

569
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 5: then you know, fast forward, probably twenty five years later,

570
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 5: my son started getting into sneakers. You know, he was

571
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 5: like ten eleven years old. So I started doing customizations

572
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 5: for him and his friends. And then it's snowballed. Man.

573
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 5: It's a buddy of mine, a good friend of mine,

574
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 5: Jamie Saugers. He mentioned, he's like, hey, man, you ought

575
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 5: to do a restoration on these old Jordan's he had,

576
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 5: and I was like, that's cool. So I did that

577
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 5: and he was impressed with him, and he's like, you

578
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 5: got to start a side hustle, started a little Instagram page.

579
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 5: I'm like, whatever, okay. So you know, at the time,

580
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 5: I was still working at PEPSI and I started doing

581
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 5: stuff for like Alex Porter's reached out, and then Willie

582
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 5: reached out. Actually, Tyler Eulis was the first one nice

583
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 5: and I did a pair of Jordan's for Tyler and

584
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 5: it was a crazy time. And then I think Willie

585
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 5: wore those gold Jordan elevens I did, and he wore

586
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 5: him in the first round of the NCAA tournament that

587
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 5: year and uh dunked on the kid from Cincinnati and

588
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 5: we've not seen it ever since. Yeah, and then I

589
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 5: woke up the next morning and then it blown up,

590
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 5: blown up, like my emails were overflowing. My you know,

591
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 5: my Instagram following went from like two thousand to like

592
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 5: ten thousand, and I was like, oh my gosh, this

593
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 5: is like serious, you know. So you know, it's started

594
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 5: snowballing from there and then here we are, you know,

595
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 5: I quit my job a couple of years later, and

596
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 5: now I do it full time.

597
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 2: Now it's like a whole industry. But I remember you

598
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 2: doing it way before anyone.

599
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,479
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, and it was It's kind of it's

600
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 5: kind of changed. The whole industry has kind of changed

601
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 5: just over the last ten years. You know, it has

602
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 5: its little fads, like with the Nike Roaschie run. You know,

603
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 5: everybody had the Roachi's. I bet I painted five hundred

604
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 5: of those one year. You know. It's like but now

605
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 5: it's like I'm kind of getting into big orders, like

606
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 5: team orders. I do a ton of that. I just

607
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 5: shipped off like one hundred pairs for Providence University, huh

608
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 5: for to celebrate Jackie Robinson Day. We did that Bellerman.

609
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 5: I've done further. Women's basketball team I do, like the

610
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 5: whole team, like twenty thirty pairs for those for those

611
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 5: girls and guys. So it's cool, you know, it's just

612
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 5: kind of transitions into different aspects, and I'm starting to hire,

613
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 5: you know, I've got a couple guys that you know,

614
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 5: helped me here and there to kind of help me

00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 5: be able to do the cool stuff that I want

616
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 5: to do, and then like the production stuff, somebody else

00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 5: do it.

618
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 2: So didn you do the basketballs for Madness for the

619
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 2: gold painted I remember getting close to one. I was like,

620
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 2: I was allowed to touch it. Yeah, very cool.

621
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 5: It's funny. They're actually down at Big Blue Delhi. I

622
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 5: gave most of my guys Zach, Yeah, Zach he I

623
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 5: did like four balls, and it was it's kind of

624
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 5: embarrassing now I look back at the COVID ball. I

625
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 5: put a mask on it.

626
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.

627
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's pretty embarrassing now I look back. But yeah,

628
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 5: it was kind of cool, you know, to look back.

629
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 5: I did like a gold ball. I think I did

630
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 5: a blue ball one year, and then a white ball

631
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 5: and not a gray I think. But I remember Tyler

632
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 5: Hero used to complain about it because he's like, I

633
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 5: can't chew with this bo because it was so slick.

634
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 2: But yeah, he turned out all right.

635
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's all right. I think he's doing fine.

636
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 2: You do a lot of the UK guys shoes. We

637
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:12,640
Speaker 2: see those all the time. But also I have seen

638
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 2: you do a lot in Major League Baseball. Who's the

639
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 2: highest profile athlete you'd say you've worked with?

640
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 5: Honestly, probably I would say Albert pooh Holst was probably

641
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,719
Speaker 5: one of my favorites because, you know, growing up, like,

642
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 5: I wasn't a Cardinals fan, you know, so I didn't

643
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 5: really care about you know, pooh holes when he was there.

644
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 5: And then you know, when he got traded out West

645
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 5: and my son was into baseball, and you know, he

646
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 5: kind of started liking him, and I was like, man,

647
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 5: I like this dude. And then all of a sudden

648
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 5: he was actually part of one of my agencies that

649
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 5: I deal with and I do a lot of work

650
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 5: for and I was fortunate enough to do cleats for

651
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 5: him for like the last three years of his career.

652
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 5: His last All Star Game he wore I did two

653
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 5: pairs of cleats for him. He wore one in the

654
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 5: home run derby and then the next night in the

655
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 5: All Star Game, and I'm like, man, that's that's that's dope.

656
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 5: You know, it's just his last All Star game, you know,

657
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 5: it's it's pretty cool. So, but that was probably one

658
00:27:59,080 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 5: of the best.

659
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 2: What's i'd say, like the wildest request you've ever gotten,

660
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 2: where they'd be painting something other than shoes or something

661
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 2: on the shoe.

662
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 5: Or Honestly, I get I get crazy requests all the time,

663
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 5: and a lot of times I'll try to turn away

664
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 5: some of the stuff. I mean, I've had some crazy,

665
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 5: like wild stuff people want. But actually, probably one of

666
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 5: the craziest moments is not even something that's like cool

667
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 5: on the show. It was just doing shoes for the Pope.

668
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 5: I mean that was insane.

669
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the actual pope, the one in the Vatican.

670
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 5: Yes, the actually, yes, there's actually a pair of my

671
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 5: shoes at the Vatican. Like, that's insane.

672
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 2: I like that. And you said Poohols is the highest

673
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 2: profile I'm actually gonna I'm gonna correct you there. I

674
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,679
Speaker 2: would say the pope has a slight Albert.

675
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 5: I haven't seen the Pope's jumper yet or is bad

676
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 5: at average or anything. But yeah, as far as far

677
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 5: as celebrity, you know, status goes, that was kind of wild,

678
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,239
Speaker 5: you know, I was father. Jim Sitchko set that up

679
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 5: and that was epic.

680
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 3: You know.

681
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 5: I woke up the next morning and it was going crazy. Everybody's,

682
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 5: oh my gosh, the Pope. The Pope got a pair

683
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 5: of custom blazers. You know, so that was pretty dope.

684
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 2: You don't have to name names, but is is it

685
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 2: ever hard to deal with some of these athletes? Yeah,

686
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 2: and if you want to name names, we'll completely throw

687
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 2: them under the bus on the radio. I just didn't

688
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 2: want to put you on the spot of that one.

689
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 5: Yeah. Actually, you know, I'll start with saying a lot

690
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 5: of the UK guys that go through here, even through

691
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 5: you know, Cow's years. When I first started doing it

692
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 5: for these guys, they were all great. I never really

693
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 5: dealt with any you know. I mean, granted, you're dealing

694
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 5: with eighteen year old kids. You know, I'm dealing with

695
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 5: kids the age of you know, my son. You know,

696
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 5: so I'm you know, we're full blown text message and

697
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 5: then I'll get a noted text back, you know, like

698
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 5: an emoji, and then like, okay, what you know, so

699
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 5: I'm having to text my son what's this? Man? You know?

700
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 5: What did PJ. Washington mean when he said so but uh,

701
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 5: but yeah, they're all they've all been pretty cool. But

702
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 5: like that, when you get into the like the major leagues, man,

703
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 5: a lot of those guys, they'll send you ten pairs

704
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 5: of cleats and they want them all last week. You

705
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 5: know it's not but yeah, dealing with the agents and

706
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 5: dealing with the players, it's a little different.

707
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 2: So alright, you're a big guy into the UK vintage stuff.

708
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,440

709
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 2: an electric sweater you're wearing right now. I don't even

710
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 2: know what that is, but that's got to be authentic

711
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 2: for some year.

712
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,320

Speaker 5: Is it to dentim tonim Bro? Yeah? Like I remember,

738
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 5: like ninety six was the first year, the first championship

739
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 5: that I remember, you know, seventy eight I was alive,

740
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 5: but you know, I don't remember it. But ninety six

741
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 5: was just insane, you know. And I remember that the uniforms,

742
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 5: it was just so crazy at the time. And I

743
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 5: remember that night. I even told Coach Pope when I

744
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 5: met him, I'm like, I blame you for me being

745
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 5: a part of tearing down the light pole down at

746
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 5: the front of line is ninety six, you know, I

747
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 5: was like, you know, I blame you for that, but

748
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 5: you know, it was good memories and I love that time.

749
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 5: That was that was peak basketball for me. And then

750
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 5: you know, I started working second shift in between there

751
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 5: for a while and I didn't really get to keep

752
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 5: up with it as much. And then when Cal got

753
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 5: when Cal came, and you know Tubby of course. But

754
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 5: you know, I've been a UK fan since I was

755
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 5: just like you guys, you know, since I was born,

756
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 5: and you know, there's nothing like it. It's it's crazy

757
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,959
Speaker 5: looking back. I had fifteen year old Billy would be like,

758
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,280

759
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 5: you mean you're painting shoe shoes? And it's like it's

760
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 5: kind of like a full circle moment, you know, meeting

761
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 5: some of these like Kenny Walker. You know, Kenny reached

762
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,680

Speaker 2: thing that will come out of the show this week

770
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,240

Speaker 2: right as the tournament started this year that you were

772
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 2: I guess I can dary a character in, but if

773
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 2: everyone remembers Kobe Brao just showed up at a woman's

774
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 2: house and knocked out our door and surprised her. And

775
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 2: I think he actually started at your house. It was

776
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 2: in your neighborhood. Walk us through what actually happened for

777
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 2: Kobe Bray to just go door to door.

778
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 5: This is great Kobe. Kobe had been to my house

779
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 5: probably four or five times dropping shoes off, and he

780
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 5: didn't really ever come in, and I always just walk

781
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 5: outside and meet him in the driveway and we talked

782
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 5: for a little bit. And my wife hadn't met him yet,

783
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 5: and she was like, I really want to meet him.

784
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 5: He's you know, he seems like a good kid. So

785
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 5: he came over and I was like, here, let's go outside,

786
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 5: and we met him by side and we're talking and

787
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 5: a buddy of mine and Bill Huffman, he lives like

788
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 5: in the court next to me, and I've coached against

789
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 5: him like baseball. Our kids, you know, grew up playing together.

790
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 5: And he turned around. He didn't know that it was

791
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 5: even Kobe sitting there in his car, and he pulled

792
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 5: up behind it to talk to me, and then Kobe

793
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 5: was like, you want a picture? So Tracy, my wife,

794
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 5: walks around and Kobe gets out and he's taking a

795
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 5: selfie and Bill was like, oh my gosh, you've got

796
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 5: to come here. And he came over and he took

797
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 5: a selfie with him and he's like, I gotta ask

798
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 5: you this. Can you go to my house real quick?

799
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 5: Kobe was like listen. I was like crap, you know,

800
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 5: he really went and you know, when.

801
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 2: No hesitation at all, just yeah, where are we going?

802
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 2: Following a stranger down the street.

803
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 5: Yeah? Yeah. So he drove down there and uh went

Speaker 5: hit out behind the behind the bushes, and Kobe went

806
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 5: to the door and his wife, Debbie opened the door

807
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 5: and she was like, oh my god, is that really

Speaker 5: you? You know? And uh, my wife and I waited outside

809
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 5: until he came back out, and Kobe stopped and talked

850
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 4: now I've settled in.

851
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 2: It's just us. I mean, we do rapid reactions out

852
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 2: in the freezing cold.

853
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,680

Speaker 2: our place. Nobody can tell us what we can and

858
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 2: can't do. So it's good to be indoors with you guys.

859
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 2: Talking a little ball first, I have a little bit

860

00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:32,359

868
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 2: I am in Romeo and Juliet. What is wrong with that?

869
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 3: You?

870
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,720
Speaker 2: I feel like you don't think I've got the acting

871
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 2: chops to pull that off.

872
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 3: I didn't say that, I just okay, Well, when you're

873
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,720
Speaker 3: done laughing, is Abby gonna be your Juliet?

874
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 2: I know I'm not Romeo. I actually I turned down

875
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 2: for Romeo, but it's for charity.

876
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 3: Are you the tree in the corner?

877
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 2: No, I've got speaking roles. I have to speak. I

Speaker 2: have a costume fitting Friday at twelve thirty this is

879
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 2: a big deal, but it's it's for charity. It's the

880
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 2: Lexingdon Children's Theater. They caught me in a good time

881
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 2: when they asked, because I was at home practicing my

882
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 2: Hugh Jackman for Karaoke night in the SEC Tournament, which

883
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 2: we didn't yet. But I was on my fourth watch

884
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 2: of the Greatest Showman making sure I've perfected the moves,

885
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 2: when out of nowhere, I get asked to be in

886
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 2: Romeo and Juliet. It's coming up on April twenty sixth.

887
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 2: I have my role, I have my script. I've not

888
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 2: looked at either of those. But I'm Count Paris. Do

889
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 2: y'all know anything about Count Paris? Before I start studying

890
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 2: for Count Paris, I.

891
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 3: Don't know who that is.

892
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 2: I don't either.

893
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 3: I'm my mind. I'm short circuiting right now. My mind

894
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 3: is well, that's like three weeks. It's an Oh, are

895
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 3: you aware of it?

896
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 2: I've already missed the first rehearsal. They they did it during.

897
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 2: It was on a morning, they did it during KSR.

898
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,320
Speaker 2: I can't be there before noon, so I'll get the

899
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,280
Speaker 2: next rehearsal. Like I said, I have a costume fitting

900
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 2: coming up on Friday. That's why our friend Josh Hopkins

901
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 2: is going to join us soon. He's gonna give me

902
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 2: acting tips. But I did ask chat GPT about count

903
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 2: in Paris. It sounds like I'm a wealthy, well connected

904
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 2: person that is seen as a perfect match for Juliet.

905
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 2: I guess I'm trying to get at trying to push

906
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 2: Romo out of the way. I want to marry Juliet,

907
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 2: but she doesn't love me back. I think maybe I

908
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 2: propose at one point. I'm pretty sure I die a

909
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 2: spoiler alert for people that don't know Juliette Kinck for

910
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 2: a while. But I'll be honest, guys, I'm all nervous.

911
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 2: I was excited to commit, but now it's here in

912
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,839
Speaker 2: front of me, and I don't really know what I'm

913
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 2: getting myself into.

914
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 3: I hope they continue to schedule these rehearsals during KSR,

915
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 3: so you just go in and totally no idea what

916
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,280
Speaker 3: you're doing, and you just have to, you know, just

917
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 3: just wing it.

918
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 2: I felt bad missing the first it was it was

919
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,800
Speaker 2: a read through, you know. You see, like other people

920
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 2: in my industry, actors, you know, they do like a

921
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 2: table read and they're all just in their regular everyday

922
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,839
Speaker 2: close just reading off the paper. I missed that part

923
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 2: of it.

924
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 4: So do you remember reading the book or watching the

925
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,480

930
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,719

950
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:02,399

951
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 2: eighth grade. Eighth grade, I played a donkey in a

963
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:38,239

965
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 2: I have gotten into Broadway lately. I went to Hamilton

966
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,280
Speaker 2: a few years ago. That's really good. I can almost

967
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 2: do that start to finish, and I'm not gonna lie you.

968
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 2: You say that maybe jokingly, part of me wants this

969

Speaker 2: to be the beginning of me taking over the big stage.

970
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,040

Speaker 2: Sure, I got that going on for me. And like

974
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 2: I said, Josh Hopkins is gonna join us in the

975
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,879
Speaker 2: second hour. We're gonna talk basketball with him, what he's

976
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:06,320
Speaker 2: got going on. He's actually in the middle of a

977
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 2: shoot this week, maybe even today's. It's a nice him.

978
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 2: He's gonna volunteer his time, but he's gonna give me

979
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 2: some acting tips. But it is a serious event at

980
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 2: the curtain call UH supporting the theater. It operates with

981
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 2: UH its program needs and brings in an average of

982
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 2: fifty thousand in donations a year. And that's a big night.

983
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 2: I guess I'm gonna go help out and hopefully not.

984
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 4: Bum Will people be allowed to film your your performance?

985
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:31,319

Speaker 3: Is going to film this whole thing, and we're going

988
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 3: to rapidly react to it out.

989
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 4: I think we still do a rapid reaction outside Jamik.

990
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 2: I regret bringing this up. I regret bringing this up.

991
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 2: Someone did on case board say we should do a

992
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:46,280
Speaker 2: rapid reaction to today's show. That'd be like a rapid reaction.

993
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 4: We should do pregame walking talks on our way here

994
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 4: as well, like really do the whole And.

995
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 2: This is I've over committed. Speaking of your walking talk,

996
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,399
Speaker 2: shout those out a little bit. You started that this year.

997
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 2: It's when I'm on the pregame show. I only get

998
00:40:58,080 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 2: to join you occasionally, but tell us about what you

999
00:40:59,920 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 2: do before basketball games.

1000
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:05,879
Speaker 4: Well, we started an undisclosed location that is relatively close

1001
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 4: to my house, but we just don't want people to

1002
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 4: know exactly where I live, so we try and keep

1003
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 4: it a little bit hush hushed there. But it's basically

1004
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 4: just Steven Peak walks backwards down High Street for about

1005
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:17,879
Speaker 4: you know, half a mile, and it's me and Jack

1006
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 4: previewing the game while also ensuring Steven Stephen's safety and

1007
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 4: making sure that he doesn't run into traffic or slip

1008
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 4: on ice, which has happened almost happened multiple times. But yeah,

1009
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 4: so we started doing that this season. It's been a

1010
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 4: lot of fun. Me and Jack were doing We were

1011
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 4: doing our post game tiktoks for a little bit at

1012
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 4: the beginning of the season and then it got too

1013
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 4: cold to do all that. Those were fun where you

1014
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 4: just kind of talk around nonsense with people, the three

1015
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 4: hundred people on our TikTok, the KSR TikTok. So, but yeah,

1016
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 4: we've been really trying to up up our coverage from

1017
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 4: start to finish.

1018
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 3: I love the Columbia, Missouri experience when we did our

1019
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 3: walking talk where the hill was vertical, where I was

1020
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 3: trying to pretend I wasn't out of breath, and yeah,

1021
00:41:54,880 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 3: we're live on camera just so, Yeah, it's a lot

00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 2: to act and when I should start looking at my

1026
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 2: script this this KSR. We'll be right back
