65
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,440

67
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: I don't know how to do it. You don't know

68
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: how to silence this. Gosh, we should have just let

69
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 2: it go and to.

70
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,320

00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 3: run the remote control on a TV.

72
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: But we're the no technical issues. You guys got your

73
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: straightened up this morning.

74
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 3: We're good, man, We're all good. Don't you worry about

75
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 3: a thing. We're gonna be just fine. This is gonna

76
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 3: run like a well oiled machine for the next ten weeks.

77
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: We're good, all right.

78
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 5: I'm worried this iPhone. Someone threw you a curveball at

79
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 5: the last minute. You know, we've had meetings about the meetings,

80
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 5: about the meetings, making sure we're ready. You have a

81
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 5: long to do list.

82
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 2: You have a big checklist, big checklist.

83
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 5: Then you know, first morning you get thrown an iPhone

84
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 5: that's binging every few seconds. You know how to turn

85
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 5: it off. I'm worried that the iPhone might become a

86
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 5: distraction for you.

87
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: Mario's got it, He's got He's got it out of control,

88
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 2: so we'll take care of We do have a lot

89
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: to talk about UK baseball, UK football got a huge commitment,

90
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: but I think we need to start and just briefly

91
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 2: talk about Kentucky again hit by deadly tornadoes. I mean again,

92
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 2: I mean used to be Oklahoma was tornado alley. I

93
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 2: feel like it's now Western Kentucky. Nothing else. Dawson Springs

94
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: gets hit hard for the second time in what three years.

95
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, one the bad win in Western Kentucky. Missus my

96
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 5: home turf got hit again. Hopkins County, Madisonville didn't seem

97
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 5: to be affected too hard. But all the way around

98
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 5: at Charleston, Morton's Gap, Dawson Springs, a lot of the

99
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 5: smaller communities. But you know, just Dawson Springs being again

100
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 5: is such a small place, and have this happened twice

101
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 5: in three years is tragic. Hopefully, you know, they were

102
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 5: already building back. Hopefully this one won't take as much,

103
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,559
Speaker 5: but you know, there's at least one loss of life.

104
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 5: You know, this was a very big deal back home,

105
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 5: and we're thinking of praying for them again.

106
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 2: They closer here to Lexton. I know Mercer County got

107
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 2: hit really hard. They had a death due to storm

108
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: related issues. I think a Richmond got hit. I mean,

109
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 2: it's just Conley Bottom down at Conley Bottom got hit

110
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 2: so and this is on the twenty year anniversary of

111
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 2: the Masterson Station tornado this weekend, so I don't know,

112
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 2: maybe the earth has shifted because Tornado Alley seems to

113
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 2: be coming right through.

114
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 5: I'll worry about you. I grew up on that side

115
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 5: of the state and we had some bad ones occasionally,

116
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 5: but not nearly as it's frequent as it seems to

117
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 5: be here recently. Even just a few scares, you know,

118
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,239
Speaker 5: been lucky. They've had plenty of watches and warnings recently

119
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 5: that didn't amount anything, but it just seems to be

120
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 5: a lot more frequent. I hope, hope it's not the

121
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 5: case that the alley has shifted into the Bluegrass.

122
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 2: Cannon and Louisville and Bullet County get hit.

123
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I know.

124
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 3: A lot of houses were damaged, trees falling on houses.

125
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 3: You know that stuff can be rebuilt. But sad to

126
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 3: see that there was, as Drew said, at least one

127
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 3: fatality there in Dawson Springs. So our thoughts and prayers

128
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 3: definitely with those people, well.

129
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 2: Thoughts and prayer with everybody involved with that. It was

130
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 2: an awful weekend again for Kentucky storms it went through it.

131
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 2: Did it affect your show Friday in Libanon? No?

132
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 3: No, we were actually lucky. I think as we were

133
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 3: finishing our last song, it started to sprinkle a little

134
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 3: bit and it was all good as far as the

135
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 3: weather went there.

136
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 2: Good good, Well.

137
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 5: Woisville had the big festival, Jack Harlow Gazebo Festival. They

138
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 5: had to cancel Sundays. He was going to perform just

139
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 5: to be safe.

140
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 2: I heard Billy talking about that. Yeah, he didn't put

141
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 2: a perform at his own festival because of the storms

142
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: on Sunday.

143
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 5: Right now. They had a good Saturday, but I mean

144
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 5: they were playing on a pretty big Sunday as well,

145
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 5: and they do cancel it that afternoon with storms coming in.

146
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 2: Well again, thoughts some prayers out there, but you know,

147
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 2: you'd like to say we're through it, but it seems

148
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: like no, that's just maybe the beginning of more to

149
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 2: come in the summer.

150
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 5: So yeah, I think they're hopefully, you know, they're still

151
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 5: dealing with it three years ago. Yeah, just get hit again, Yeah,

152
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 5: and stop thinking about those people.

153
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: So this morning, tickets went on sale for UK Baseball

154
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 2: and Daniel Hager's here. He's going to join us at

Speaker 2: That's incredible.

159
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 5: It's awesome for anyone that wasn't up all morning on

160
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 5: their computer trying to get tickets. I did not have

161
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 5: a great experience. I got on at seven thirty am. Yes,

162
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 5: I was number two in the ticket Master. Well you're set.

163
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 5: I'm thinking number two, and I knew the number one.

164
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 5: It was my buddy, he texted me. He told me

165
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 5: to get on, manny. So we're one and two hour later,

166
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 5: I get booted and I'm number one forty four. Oh.

167
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 5: When I finally get in there, I can't even see

168
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 5: the map. It's counting me down to buy tickets. I

169
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 5: don't even see tickets. They went quick. I'm mad, you know.

170
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 5: I didn't have as much luck. I ended up getting

171
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 5: some through a friend, but it was a nightmare trying

172
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 5: to get them when they went on until at nine am.

173
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 5: So I'm not surprised they're out.

174
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 2: How'd you get kicked out?

175
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 4: I don't know.

176
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 5: I had the monitor up all morning, just sip my coffee.

177
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 5: I'd look over a little bit, soh, you're still number

178
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 5: one or number two? Just a minute. We'll be there

179
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 5: at nine And then out of the blue at reset

180
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 5: and I was one forty four.

181
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 2: So the game is Friday at nude. He gets Western

182
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,840

Speaker 2: watch party here at Case.

184
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,679
Speaker 5: I don't know. They might have some randoms they'll release

185
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 5: in the bleachers, but from what I saw this morning,

186
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 5: it completely out.

187
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 2: A reserve seats are definitely sold out.

188
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 5: They were gonna do Thursday single game. I don't know

189
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 5: if they held some back for that or not, but

190
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 5: what was out there today, he went quick for the

191
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 5: all session.

192
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 2: So we'll have a watch party here Saturday. Then after

193
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 2: the show, we'll do the show here Saturday Friday. We'll

00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 2: do the show here Friday from ten to twelve. Game

00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,880

196
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 2: folks like Drew that got kicked out of line and

197
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: can get their tickets off.

198
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 5: I'm still getting in there. I can't keep me out

199
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 5: of there.

200
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 2: But you know, it's big news for UK Baseball. Rated

201
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 2: the overall number two seed, highest seed ever in school history.

202
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 2: They get to host the regional for the second year

203
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 2: in a row, first time that's ever happened in school history,

204
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 2: and they've got you look at the bracket, they've got

205
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 2: a great shot to make it to Omaha on the

206
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 2: College World Series this year.

207
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 5: First time they're back to back in the postseason. I believe. Yeah,

208
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 5: I know, there's the you mentioned Daniel our ksr. Beat writer.

209
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 5: He has all the information, he'll be on soon. But

210
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 5: there's that statu like, the number one seed hasn't won

211
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 5: in like a gazillion years. So if number one can't win,

212
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 5: number two is the best seed. There You go, Tennessee,

213
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 5: enjoy your number one. I don't mind the number two place.

214
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 5: There's been a little complaining about our draw. I guess

215
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 5: Indiana State was a team that was maybe wanting to

216
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 5: host and we end up getting them in Lexington. But

217
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 5: overall being the number two, having the actions action at

218
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 5: Kentucky Proud of Park. It's awesome to finally see them

219
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 5: announce it yesterday and then it's right here in front

220
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 5: of us. I can't wait to get over there.

221
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Indiana State won forty three games this year. You

222
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: know who the most famous baseball player ever in Indiana

223
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: State is who? Larry Bird? He played baseball, Yes he did.

224
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 2: He played one game and guess.

225
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 3: Who is it against Kentucky Wesleyan.

226
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 2: Kentucky Wesleyans. This is fact you can look it up

227
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 2: for this.

228
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 4: This is why you know this.

229
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 2: Yep, he played one game after they went to the

230
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 2: final championship game. He played one game before he got

231
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 2: drafted by it and went on in the NBA and

232
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 2: was against Kentucky Wesleyans first base. I don't know, I

233
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 2: don't remember. We have the left looked that up. Probably, yeah, so,

234
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 2: but Chantony did it? Sting a little bit seeing that

235
00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 2: Tennessee won the SEC tournament, Yeah, a.

236
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 3: Little bit after having to split the regular season title.

237
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 3: But you know, hey, there's still the number two overall seed.

238
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 3: I think you gotta be happy with that. I mean,

239
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 3: I know it's going to be a great atmosphere at

240
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 3: Kentucky Collb Park. And I was asking Billy this. I'll

241
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 3: ask you this, being a baseball guy, if you're Menji owned,

242
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 3: do you pitch your do you start your ace in

243
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 3: that first game? Or do you think, Okay, we can

244
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 3: handle this team without our best. We're gonna save him

245
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 3: for later on. I say, you go ahead and throw

246
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 3: your ace first game.

247
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 4: What would you do in that situation?

248
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 2: I mean, I think you have to. This is the

249
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 2: NCAA tournament, you know. I was kind of questioning why

250
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: he didn't do that at the SEC tournament. And then

251
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 2: I saw the reason why that first round game was

252
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 2: double elimination. You were still going to be alive the

253
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 2: rest of the tournament, so you saved your better arms

254
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 2: for when it was single elimination.

255
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 3: But this is double elimination too, right, I mean to

256
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 3: start off.

257
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I thought, I think you want it to

258
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 2: get it over with. Yeah, you gotta get it. And plus,

259
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 2: you know, if you're number one guy pooser, he hasn't

260
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 2: pitched since last since he'd have over a week's rest,

261
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 2: he should be ready to go. What about your thoughts

262
00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 2: about it?

263
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I would. I'm more interested to just

264
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 5: see the SEC tournament as a fan that was excited

265
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 5: didn't really go that well. You know, eleven zero LSU,

266
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 5: you have one hit. I'm more interested to see just

267
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 5: if that lingers at all, and if that mattered more

268
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 5: of the whole team. Especially the one hit furiated me

269
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 5: more than the pitching in the first LSU game. But

270
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 5: I don't know, there's been a lot of that tournament's irrelevant.

271
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 5: I'm wondering going one and two and that if that lingers,

272
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 5: I would want to get the wins with over with

273
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 5: and get your race out there and be done. I

274
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 5: have to go to Monday or anything crazy, but I'm

275
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 5: interested to see what because everything was going so well,

276
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 5: then you lose that Vandy game where you share the title,

277
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 5: then you go one and two and Hoover. I'm just

278
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 5: excited to see what team comes out.

279
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 2: You did beat Arkansas's Ace. That kid's gonna be a

280
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 2: first round pick, you know.

281
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 5: And jumped on him quickly. Yeah, I was exciting to

282
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 5: see kind of had that Buster Douglas mentality we talked

283
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 5: about last Friday. So that was exciting. But you know,

284
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 5: I'm ready to see them play like a number two

285
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 5: overall seed being at home whoever's on the mount.

286
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 2: So we got a lot to get to. Like I said,

287
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 2: Daniel hagger be hearing about fifteen minutes, give us all

288
00:11:58,360 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: the more the deats.

289
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 5: I bet he'll even be their minutes early.

290
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 2: I bet he may even show up. Marty, you be

291
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 2: sitting here looking at us, could be uh. And then

292
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 2: we got to get to a UK football commit Shannon

293
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 2: saw Bear. I mean, there's a lot to talk about

294
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 2: this when we come back eight five nine two a

327
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:42,280

00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 5: What about all the other things, these meetings, these these

329
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 5: things you have to learn and do over the summer.

330
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 5: Is this is this gonna distract you? Yes?

331
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 2: Absolutely? Yeah. But we already have like probably fifty texts.

332
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 2: How does Matt keep up with that and go through

333
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 2: all those?

334
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 5: I don't know, but lots of people ask if I

335
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 5: will tweet X machine number, and I'll be honest, I

336
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 5: have already lost where I wrote it down, So if

337
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,440

341
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 5: miss the text machine, Matt. Matt relies on that lot

342
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 5: feedback or maybe even a random topic somewhere. So it's

343
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,800

Speaker 5: up at any hour of the night with that.

346
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: Well slow down now. Of course, a lot of stuff

347
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 2: we're gonna get to. But the big story to me

348
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 2: was Shannon saw a bear in Gatlinburg.

349
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 3: I like, how fascinated you were with that saw a bear? Like,

350
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 3: you know, you're in Gatlinburg. There's bears everywhere, but.

351
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 2: That, like that was like out in the middle of

352
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 2: the road.

353
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, we had a cabin, you know, up at the

354
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 3: top of a mountain and we're heading down to the

355
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 3: city and right in the middle of the road as

356
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 3: a bear. And I couldn't remember. I know, there's like

357
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 3: a phrase if it's brown, laid down, black fight back.

358
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 3: I remember if that was accurate or not. I wasn't

359
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 3: gonna get out of the car to find out. I

360
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 3: know that, but somebody, I guess it just set out

361
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 3: like a plate of food and of course the bear

362
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 3: was gonna come up and you know, just have a snack.

363
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 3: And that's what was going on. As I was trying

364
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 3: to get across the road. I was like, Okay, I'm

365
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 3: just gonna sit there and just wait for this thing

366
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 3: across the road before U before I do anything. I

367
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 3: wasn't gonna try to, you know, show it away. So

368
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 3: I think that's right.

369
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 5: Though.

370
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 3: If it's a black bear, you got to fight back

371
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 3: against it, right if you're if you're walking and you

372
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 3: come across a bear, you're supposed to fight.

373
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I'm pretty sure the park rangers

374
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 2: are telling you not to leave a plate of food

375
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 2: out for bears.

376
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, it was clearly like just out for bears.

377
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 2: Right.

378
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 3: Why else in the mountains would you put out a

379
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 3: plate of food like they were feeding it, like it

380
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 3: was the neighborhood cat or something.

381
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 4: You know.

382
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 5: Well, the lot is if it's brown, laid down. If

383
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 5: it's black, fight back.

384
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 3: Okay, I thought that was if.

385
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 5: It's white, good night. Yeah, you see a polar bear,

386
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 5: that's the end of you.

387
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 3: You're done.

388
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I was fascinated by just seeing the Shannon's

389
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 2: picture because it was a big bear just kind of

390
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 2: out there in the middle road.

391
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's another reason I wasn't gonna go hiking,

392
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 3: you know. Oh, yeah, that was something that came up.

393
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 3: Hey shall we go hiking. I said, I don't have

394
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 3: bear spray and don't have a gun with me, So no,

395
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 3: I don't think we're gonna do that.

396
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 2: But the the other big story involving Shannon over the

397
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 2: weekend Drew was people questioning Shannon's haircut at our show

398
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 2: on Friday.

399
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I got a lot of crap over that.

400
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 3: I was just trying to just trying to shape it

401
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 3: up a little bit. You know, I didn't choose that haircut.

402
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 3: They just gave it to me. I guess they. I

403
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 3: don't know if they put a bowl on my head

404
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 3: or what, you know, the dumb and dumber haircut. I

405
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 3: didn't realize that until the picture. I guess normally I

406
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,479
Speaker 3: put a little you know, put a little product.

407
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 4: In the hair.

408
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 2: Yes, I didn't.

409
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 3: That morning, I had a long drive. I just got

410
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 3: up and just rolled out of bed as I was.

411
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 2: And Yeah, people were.

412
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 3: Giving me a lot of crap over my haircut.

413
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 5: People on the internet are mean, Shan. You know, we

414
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 5: got we take that photo with Matt as a farewell right,

415
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 5: kind of felt like he was quitting. To be honest,

416
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 5: we never take group pictures that felt like oh goodbye. Yeah,

417
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 5: it did, and I get on to social media just

418
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 5: to see her will be like, oh, what a great

419
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 5: photo of k are on Matt's last show of the summer,

420
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 5: and it's just all about Shan's hair.

421
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 2: Everything is about his hair.

422
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 5: Well, at least I still got some internet A good point.

423
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 2: Good point because you Matt used to introduce Shannon as

424
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 2: Shannon with his frosty.

425
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 3: Hair and hair frosty hair. I think that was just

426
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 3: Matt being jealous of my hair. I never had frosted tips,

427
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 3: so I don't know. I don't even know where that

428
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 3: came from.

429
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 2: But did did you? Did you put the product back

430
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 2: in it for your show then Friday night?

431
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 3: Yeah?

432
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 2: Espe Okay, after all the crap that I got, I said, okay,

433
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 2: let me go.

434
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 3: Let me go to the store here and get some

435
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 3: some hair gel and throw it in there so I

436
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 3: don't get criticized for that.

437
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 2: All right, eight five nine two o two two weeks alven.

438
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 2: We got some lines open if you want to call

00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 2: and get in, and we'll have Daniel Hager join us

440
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 2: here at the bottom of the hour talk more about

441
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 2: UK baseball. I do want to hit on the UK

442
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 2: football commit that happened over the weekend. Martel's carter from

443
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 2: Paduca Tillman ranked as the number one recruit in Kentucky

444
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 2: in the twenty twenty five class.

445
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 4: Number one.

446
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 2: Now he's originally from Kattanooga, has transferred into Paduca to

447
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 2: play for Paduca Tillman. I understand there may be more

448
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 2: transfer from Tennessee follow him to Paduca Tillman. Paduca Tillman,

449
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 2: I think is getting ready to load up to make

450
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 2: a big run.

451
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 5: Scooper Scolle, but or is it news that's already.

452
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 2: I would just keep an eye on that. Okay, I

453
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 2: think Bartels caught or maybe just the first of a

454
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 2: couple studs coming to play for Paducca Tillman. But you

455
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 2: lock up the number one recruit in Kentucky three, that's big.

456
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 5: Yeah. They've done that four out of five years after

457
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 5: a run where you know, Louisville had a pretty good

458
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 5: grip on the state and recruiting. Vince kind of stepped

459
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 5: in and said, no, this is our state, and they've

460
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 5: gotten the number one player four out of five. He's

461
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 5: the sixth commitment I believe in the twenty twenty five class,

462
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 5: but their first one on defensive side of the ball

463
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 5: and on three, which we prefer. We're big on three fans.

464
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 5: They their rankings consider him a top two hundred prospects,

465
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 5: so number one in Kentucky, but being top two hundred

466
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 5: the nation is a big deal. That's a guy, a

467
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 5: playmaking safety that a year from now. I think he

468
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 5: said he's gonna or he did say he's gonna early enroll.

469
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 5: Lee told that to Jacob Kasr. Plus, that's a guy

470
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 5: who you might see playing right away as a freshman

471
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 5: in some form of immediate impact.

472
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 2: You know that the safety position in recent years. Jordan

473
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 2: Lovett a Kentucky kid. Tye Bryant, Kentucky kid. Now this

474
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 2: guy Kentucky kid. I mean they're loaned up video Tisdale veto,

475
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 2: Tisdeal forgot about him, he was missing.

476
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 5: I miss Veto.

477
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 2: Where did he end up?

478
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 5: He went to the Dion experience, didn't play much, don't.

479
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 2: I don't know where he went after that, but.

480
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 5: Uh, mart Tellis Carter is a great addition. Very excited

481
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 5: for the future with him. He played wide receiver, did

482
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 5: some special teams. So he's a guy that's all over

483
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 5: the field. Like I said, a playmaker. I had a

484
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 5: thousand yards receiving and thirteen touchdowns. So even though he's

485
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 5: a safety, that's a guy that you know can do

486
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 5: a lot on the football field. And as I said,

487
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 5: if he comes in in December, like he says, with

488
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 5: his plan, I think we wouldn't be surprised if he's

489
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 5: out there playing freshman minutes.

490
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 2: Do you say the four star Yes, four star kid.

491
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 5: Pretty much four star by everyone that on three has

492
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 5: him in the top two hundred in the composite of all

493
00:19:59,240 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 5: those And.

494
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 2: I think think you know, if you read this the

495
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 2: story I think and Jacob did it, they know he's

496
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 2: there's this running back in Tennessee. He's gonna try to

497
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 2: get him, recruit him to Kentucky. I think there's a

498
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 2: tight end. Don't be surprised that those kids all end

499
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 2: up playing at Paduca Tilman. If they're gonna commit to Kentucky,

500
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 2: I say, I can think that's the plan.

501
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 5: I like it. In Jacob's interview with him, he had

502
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 5: a quote I even wrote it down here. He said,

503
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 5: my job is to flip uk around and make it

504
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 5: popping again. So I guess we made us bow eligible

505
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 5: again seven years ago, We're gonna make Kentucky popping again

506
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 5: with the marcell S Card When.

507
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 2: Did uk become defensive back? You that always seemed to

508
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 2: be all right Chelles heel over the years. But now

509
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 2: with Carrington, Valentine, Malik, Harrison's gonna be probably the highest

510
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 2: draft pick this year.

511
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 5: Max Yeah.

512
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 2: Uh, Drew Phillips, Phillips just this year.

513
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 5: It does for years of not really having standouts at

514
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 5: that spot, is every once in a while you get

515
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 5: it Travardlentley, Uh. And even here there's been frustrations with

516
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 5: the defense in the Stoops era, but you look up

517
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 5: on Draft night and in the last several years there's

518
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 5: been at least one of those. You watch on Sundays.

519
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 5: You've got guys like Mike Edward still out there making

520
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 5: They really have done a great job with that secondary.

521
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 2: The coaches Johnson he's still playing.

522
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, keep naming him. Chris Westry was making lots of money.

523
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 5: He still might be on a roster.

524
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:10,719
Speaker 2: Uh.

525
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,479
Speaker 5: The coaches have changed a little bit. Frank Biffano has

526
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 5: headed the last few years and he was big on

527
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 5: this recruitment with Vince So they've they've done a great

528
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,239
Speaker 5: job in the secondary. Well, you know, Stoops loves it

529
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 5: being a.

530
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 2: Sancondary secondary guy. So maybe it's a combination of Stoops

531
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 2: and coach Frank combining their efforts whatever, because it's definitely

532
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 2: been a step up. And we got not just good

533
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 2: first string guys. They've got good depth, just battery position.

534
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 2: Uh Key dron Smith. Yeah, you know he was here

535
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 2: for almost full year.

536
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 5: That's a portal guy, but still played well.

537
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 2: And Zion Childress will probably get drafted or get a

538
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 2: chance in the league.

539
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, And Carter picks uh Uk over Auburn the two finalists,

540
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 5: but even Ole Miss and Michigan had been recruiting him.

541
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 5: I mean, his offer sheet is most of the big dogs.

542
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 5: This was a This was a big get by the

543
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 5: big Dog and Biffano to get Kentucky's number one player.

544
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 2: Look the a vision glass text machine now closing it.

545
00:21:59,359 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 2: How I get this?

546
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, I'm telling you, Mario, this is gonna

547
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 5: be a.

548
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 2: Fun He's gonna call me in the middle of the night,

549
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 2: going to be going off. And the ones the most

550
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 2: recent of the ones at the top. All right, I'm

551
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 2: just gonna read that one. Does Kentucky basketball have a

552
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 2: more difficult time recruiting international players and other schools? Well,

553
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 2: Mark Pope have a better success rate with that than

554
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 2: previous coaching.

555
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 5: I don't know what kind of connections they have there.

556
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 5: When Cal got Chuck Martin just a year ago, he

557
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 5: was pretty big when the international scene. I don't know

558
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 5: the long term outlook with UK basketball right now, but

559
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 5: I'm sure they'll consider it. A lot was made of

560
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 5: Pope's binder at the Peach Jam. Yeah, because he's walking

561
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 5: around with the stack is looking like a phone book.

562
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 5: But you know he's got all his notes on his

563
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 5: targets in there, so that has all the secrets and

564
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 5: as big as it was, I'd say he's he's going

565
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 5: global with his with his targets.

566
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 2: Just trust him. Just trust those guys and Coach Brooks

567
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 2: and let them do their thing. Coach Art all right,

568

578
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 2: He's the beat writer that for on three UK site

579
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 2: that covers UK baseball. So that's the big story right now,

580
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 2: Daniel UK Baseball. I mean, what a great, unbelievable season

581
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 2: they've had, get to host the region for the second

582
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 2: year in a row, back to back years in the postseason.

583
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 2: I mean it just they keep creating new things that

584
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 2: they've been able to accomplish.

585
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like year after year. I know, Menjio on

586
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 4: yesterday he talked about when he came in, you know,

587
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,439
Speaker 4: twenty seventeen immediately makes a regional, but then you know,

588
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 4: eighteen missed the tournament, nineteen missed the tournament, twenty one,

589
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 4: twenty two, and he said that he started taking that

590
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 4: for advantage after his first year immediately making it, and

591
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 4: he was humbled a little bit. But now you know,

592
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 4: twenty three the number thirteen overall national seat and then

593
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 4: now the number two overall seed, which is really incredible.

594
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 5: So Daniels started cover bring high school football for US

595
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 5: two years ago, quickly got the keys to the UK

596
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 5: Baseball beat.

597
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 2: Good timing.

598
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, last season was his first one. There might be

599
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 5: a little Daniel mojo there. But you went to Hoover

600
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 5: last week, as I was saying earlier, helped me put

601
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 5: that behind me. I was a little disappointed getting excited

602
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 5: about all those games. You were there for all of them.

603
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 5: We'll just start what happened. We'll go game by game

604
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 5: with LSU. That was pitching right, but with the bats

605
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 5: was anything that concerned and they moved on a little

606
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 5: bit past it. But I thought Kentucky was much better

607
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 5: than a one hit game at this point in the year,

608
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 5: especially when LSU wasn't even throwing their best stuff.

609
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, LSU had Luke Holman. I think he had a

610
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 4: two to two ERA this year, so he was their

611
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 4: best guy.

612
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 5: That's the best.

613
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, he was.

614
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 5: That's why he's on the show, Mario. He can correct

615
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 5: me like that.

616
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 4: And that's why I kind of wanted Georgia over LSU,

617
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 4: because I know we talked about this on our YouTube

618
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 4: show before the tournament even started. Like I was worried

619
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 4: about LSU. I was like, LSU and Florida are two

620
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 4: of those teams that could go on a deep run.

621
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 4: Florida did not. They got eliminated early, but LSU like

622
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 4: we saw. I mean, they were dominating and then like

623
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 4: South Carolina, they came back and won like eleven to ten.

624
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 4: And then that last game they were down to eating

625
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 4: nothing and came back. So, uh, just just opening the

626
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 4: tournament bad. Like I know, we talked about this, like

627
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 4: Ryan Walschmidt, it seems like when he doesn't get going,

628
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 4: like the lineup doesn't get going behind him. I think

629
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 4: he was zero for four in that first game and

630
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 4: then for three in that last game, which is they

631
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 4: didn't really get it go. In that mental game when

632
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 4: they won, he hit two home runs. So just like

633
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 4: I'll put it behind us, because just the good thing

634
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 4: is now, you know, all the way through the College

635
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 4: World Series, you got Oregon State and that other regional

636
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 4: don't matchup in the super Regional. You're not playing SEC

637
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 4: teams anymore. Like it's definitely a step down in competition.

638
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 4: Indiana State, a Western Michigan in Illinois, and then and

639
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 4: then other like Nichols, Oregon State, Illinois. So I would say,

640
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 4: put it behind you. It's the best teams, and they were.

641
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 4: They needed those wins to get in the tournament, and

642
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 4: they went from really a four seed to a two

643
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 4: seed and so I wouldn't really worry about worry about

644
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 4: it going forward.

645
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 5: Did you hang around to watch the balls win it?

646
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 5: I did not.

647
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,919
Speaker 4: I immediately go no shot, no shot, no.

648
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 2: So you're deep into it. What is the secret bend?

649
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 2: Because he's been going out and getting these transfer guys

650
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 2: and finding a way to get them all to play together.

651
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 2: I mean they do. You can tell. They're in the

652
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 2: in the dugout and on the field. They're like a

653
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 2: tight knit group. What's people ask me all the time?

654
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 2: What has Minjeon done to kind of get this these

655
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 2: past two seasons to work by going about the way

656
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 2: he's done it well.

657
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 4: First, they adopted the get weird slogan, like everyone's learned

658
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 4: to love the pink hats and the spider Man plushy

659
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 4: in the in the in the dugout. It's just these

660
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 4: guys are having so much fun playing with each other,

661
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 4: and every time we talk to him they reiterate that

662
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 4: just how much of a family it is, and just

663
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 4: going even deeper in the woods with menje On, And

664
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 4: it's like in the last two or three years they've

665
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 4: they've coined them as the RPI Wizard, Like this guy coaches.

666
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 4: He's scheduling the best of the mid majors, like like

667
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 4: we know Tebby Smith used to do they talk about,

668
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 4: and he's bringing them in and they're stacking up the

669
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 4: wins and like last year they were top ten at

670
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 4: least in quad one wins and this year they're number

671
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 4: one by a large margin. So they're getting there stacking

672
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 4: up these wins to build these resumes. And then like

673
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 4: you touched on Ryan with the transfers, like the last

674
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 4: two years, they've really made themselves like a transfer portal

675
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 4: paradise where these guys who are maybe struggling in their

676
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 4: second to last season of college baseball can come to

677
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 4: UK and do excel. Like Nick Lopez, for example, comes

678
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 4: from USC and he was kind of thought of as

679
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 4: a utility piece, he didn't start the regular season, and

680
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 4: now he was named All for All SEC first teams.

681
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 4: So it's just like they're taking these guys rehabilitating them

682
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 4: and that's just kind of been his secret sauce.

683
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 5: As our listeners can tell, Daniel knows his stuff. Here

684
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 5: followed Daniel hager KSR. And he does the show on

685
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 5: our YouTube channel, back cat Beat. Right, Yeah, so you'll

686
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,959
Speaker 5: want to tune into that as we get into the postseason.

687
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 5: You mentioned the Spider Man and dugout. I love the

688
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,439
Speaker 5: Spider Man meme. I think Waltsman started that. When we

689
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 5: get a home run pink hats. There's the pit crew

690
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 5: thing with Devin Burks. You're at all these games, is

691
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 5: there one you have a or one that doesn't make

692
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 5: it to TV, or one with a side story we

693
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 5: don't know about because it's it's constantly something going on

694
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 5: with that dugout. That's part of the reason this team's

695
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 5: having so much success.

696
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 4: My favorite is in the first it's either the first

697
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 4: or second inning, and Minji On will be over there

698
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 4: on third and he'll he'll put those arms out and

699
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 4: he'll go in the in the whole entire dugout go oh,

700
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 4: and it just drives the opposing team crazy. That's where

701
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 4: Vitello at that Tennessee series, he was like, He's like,

702
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,719
Speaker 4: they're they're doing that little league stuff over there, even

703
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 4: though they've been doing the in the dugout a year ago.

704
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 4: And so yeah, that's it's just it's always fun to see.

705
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 4: It's a great atmosphere there. You know, I know your

706
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 4: favorite the baby Shark, so.

707
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 5: Actually the baby shark get rid of baby have no idea.

708
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 4: I've always been asking and they they've never given me

709
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 4: an answer for why it's happening. But now they expand

710
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 4: on it. They've got the guys in the costumes around,

711
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 4: they've adopted it.

712
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 5: I don't know.

713
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 2: Well, you came in, you said they'd already sold out

714
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 2: tickets in like the first twenty twenty five minutes. Obviously

715
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a huge crowd out there. This area

716
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 2: has kind of become baseball We've become a baseball town,

717
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 2: almost following the Cats.

718
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been really cool to see and like and

719
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 4: like Drew touched on, this is my second year on

720
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 4: the beat and growing up it's like UK was always okay,

721
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 4: like going to the cliff. They were all right, but

722
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 4: they were never that kind of team. In seventeen, the

723
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 4: first season at Kentucky prop Park, it was like, bring

724
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 4: a little bit excitement, But then the next few years

725
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 4: they've kind of failed to follow up on that. And

726
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 4: now after last year, people get excited. They come out.

727
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 4: UK was unranked to start the season, picked the finish

728
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 4: fifth in the East, and now they come out and

729
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 4: they dominated SEC play sec CO regular season champs for

730
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 4: the second time. So it's been really cool to just

731
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 4: see and then even the fans embracing them. They've set

732
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 4: their attendance records like six of the last six of

733
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 4: the seven highest and crowds in history of the last

734
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 4: two seasons. So it's been really cool to see Lexington

735
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 4: embrace those guys.

736
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 5: I've set my own personal record for games attended. Prior

737
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 5: to the last couple of years, it was about two.

738
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 5: I'm seeing a lot more Kentucky Baseball now really loving

739
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 5: it over there. They were again being at every game

740
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 5: and then being projected where they were. Was there a

741
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 5: moment in the season where you saw like a click.

742
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 5: I know they talk about the Kinnesau State Series internally,

743
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 5: but just watching them go through the SEC, was there

744
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 5: a specific series where you're like, all right, maybe this

745
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 5: team is for real one of the best in the conference.

746
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 4: I'll say it started kind of early, like like you said,

747
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 4: the kinnesaus State Series was kind of a disaster. They

748
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 4: came out and whooped them like it was not even close.

749
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 4: And then Georgia comes to town and they've got one

750
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 4: of the best players in college baseball, Charlie Condon, and

751
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 4: UK bull rushed them like it was like they outscored

752
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 4: them like thirty four to thirteen over the weekend, and

753
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 4: so you're like, okay, like maybe that Kinnesau State series

754
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 4: was a bit of a fluke. And then they go

755
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 4: out and they beat the in the series against Alabama

756
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 4: and then Missouri and Auburn. They kind of start stacking

757
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 4: them up, and then they maybe hit that little dry

758
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 4: spell the Tennessee and South Carolina series, and that's when

759
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 4: the national media was kind of like, Okay, here's where

760
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 4: these guys fall off. That's where they'll maybe fall to

761
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 4: a two seed in the tournament or maybe a late

762
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 4: regional host. And then they just went out and they

763
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 4: beat Arkansas and series for the first time since twenty twelve,

764
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 4: beat Florida in a series for the first time since

765
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 4: twenty sixteen, and then won that Vanderbilt series first time

766
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 4: since twenty seventeen. So they righted the ship SEC tournament.

767
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:11,479
Speaker 4: You know what it is. It is what it is.

768
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 4: Some teams need it more than others. But that's that's

769
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 4: kind of where they got things back on track and

770
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 4: really cemented themselves as one of the top teams in

771
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 4: the country.

772
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 2: So I answered the question we had earlier. Do you

773
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 2: start your ace in game one? You know Minjion kind

774
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 2: of didn't do that in the SEC tournament. What do

775
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 2: you think the strategy will be now with game one

776
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 2: on Friday.

777
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 4: I think the strategy woud be a little different. When

778
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 4: you're playing Western Michigan on Max School. I do think

779
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 4: that Trey Cruser will start, which he's been their most

780
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 4: reliable guy down the down the stretch of the season,

781
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 4: and then maybe a Mason Moore in the second game.

782
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 4: But I think we talked about this other day. I

783
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 4: think you probably should start your ace in the first game.

784
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 4: Just really get out ahead of ahead of the curve.

785
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 4: You don't want to get in a situation where you're

786
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 4: trying to bullpen a game and you get into a

787
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 4: situation where you're playing Western Michigan in that first game

788
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 4: and it's like five to five in the eighth inning

789
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 4: and you're like, uh oh, like we could have used

790
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 4: our best arm and maybe won this game six to

791
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 4: one or something like that. So I just go ahead

792
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 4: and I'd get it over with at least secure that

793
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 4: first win, so you're not already in the loser's bracket

794
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 4: having to make your way out that early.

795
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 5: They had a press conference yesterday after the selection show,

796
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 5: and you were over there asking questions. How are they feeling?

797
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 5: You know, they hosted last year, Maybe a little nerves

798
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 5: having such a big event Lexington, Kentucky Proud Park's first postseason,

799
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 5: But a lot of these guys like Mason Moore, Devin Burk's,

800
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 5: a lot of the big names, had big games last year,

801
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 5: so it's not new to him this time around. Are

802
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 5: we feeling some confidence internally? You think? I know? Ben

803
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 5: Jone told the story recently of them seeing the new

804
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 5: bleachers and how they were all giddy and made them

805
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 5: turn the late lights on late at night, So we

806
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,479
Speaker 5: know they're excited. But does it seem like they have

807
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 5: the right mindset and hosting again for second year row? Yeah?

808
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 4: I think so, And I think that's why going to

809
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 4: that super regional LSU last year was so important, Like

810
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 4: playing a team as good as that on the road.

811
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 4: They've learned so many things from that and that's what

812
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 4: led them to being like, Okay, this year, the road

813
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 4: to Omaha is going to go through Lexington, and that's

814
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 4: what they've done and set themselves up nicely. And Evan

815
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 4: Byer's and nic Lopez spoke yesterday and they were both

816
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 4: excited to go. They're ready to go. The whole team's

817
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 4: ready to go.

818
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 5: Well, Schmid, when he's been talking, get a little emotional

819
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 5: talking about Menzione here lately. The guys seemed to really

820
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 5: love him. I know I haven't gone all these press conferences,

821
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 5: but the SEC Network interview in Hoover, he got pretty emotional.

822
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 5: I think we even played that a little bit on Friday,

823
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 5: But these guys really seem to love their coach.

824
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a player's first coach. And that's what we've talked.

825
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 4: They've they've said all year, like how much they love

826
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 4: and support menji on and and he's a guy that

827
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 4: they can go to at any time of the day

828
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 4: and just talk to. And he made a funny slide.

829
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 4: He was like, usually when guys are coming up to

830
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 4: me telling me they're my favorite coach ever, they're wanting

831
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 4: to bump in the batting lineup.

832
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 5: Or something like that a little bit.

833
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 4: But when you go out in public and say it's

834
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 4: a bit of a different story. But they really do

835
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 4: love that guy. And just being around him for two

836
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 4: years now and and two years at the SEC tournament,

837
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 4: just just kind of one on one. He's a great guy.

838
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 2: Got something on the Avision Glass text machine. He said,

839
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 2: please repeat your Twitter account said you're excellent.

840
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 4: At Daniel Hager ks R.

841
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 2: And it's h A G A R right. Oh, it

842
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 2: is e R A h A G e R.

843
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 5: This is a a Frederick Douglas Bronco over here.

844
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, you said you were in twenty twenty classman day, kal, Yeah,

845
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 2: class Well, you know they're probably gonna win another state

846
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 2: football title. Leash, I hope, so give it before we

847
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 2: go to the break. Ryan Waldersman, I told you he's

848
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 2: my favorite player. His name's Ryan. He plays left field

849
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 2: and leads off. That was me, But I like the

850
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 2: other Ryan too, Ryan Nicholson first base. He's a Saint

851
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 2: X kid. He's a Kentucky kid that the transfer that

852
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 2: came in. He's had a great season, yeah.

853
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 4: Which I'm he's probably been the most surprising player to

854
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 4: me because he started off the season like really slow,

855
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 4: and then his defense at first wasn't great. But SEC

856
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 4: play started and this dude just exploded. Yeah, sixteen of

857
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 4: his eighteen home runs of coming against SEC player. Wow.

858
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 4: I think it was like the opposite. Uh, like I

859
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 4: know Caglian from Florida really padded those numbers against the

860
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 4: Stetsons and whoever they were playing. But Nicholson has really

861
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 4: stepped up in SEC play, so uh, him and and

862
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:05,479
Speaker 4: Ryan Walschman also. I think Ryan Waltschman finished top three

863
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 4: or top two in the SEC and just batting average

864
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 4: against SEC competition. So these guys played better against these

865
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 4: these better teams. They didn't show it in the SEC tournament,

866
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,240
Speaker 4: of course, but uh, just they've been really great this season.

867
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 5: You've convinced me that was irrelevant the tournament. You know,

868
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,280
Speaker 5: I went into it. I so excited, ready to watch

869
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 5: every game, and now I'm like, it doesn't matter. I

870
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 5: got the Caliperian philosophy. Now that it didn't matter. Whoever,

871
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 5: we didn't go. What are you talking about? It's in

872
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:28,399
Speaker 5: Cuba time.

873
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:30,080

Speaker 5: people start hitting it.

909
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 2: So five O two five, two seven, three five, okay,

910
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 2: three six eight zero. We've got a ton of them,

911
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 2: and this one's for Daniel. Is anyone concerned that the

912
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 2: UK baseball team is nine to nine in their last

913
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 2: eighteen games?

914
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 4: You know, I would say yes and no, because, like

915
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,760
Speaker 4: they are in the SEC, which is the best conference

916
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 4: in all college baseball, so you're gonna run into some hiccups.

917
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 4: I would only say maybe a little slightly because in

918
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 4: all of their last few series towards the end of

919
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 4: the season, they've gotten blown out in like one of

920
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,919
Speaker 4: the games of every series, Like Tennessee beat them nine

921
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 4: to four, Carolina beat them ten to nothing, Arkansas beat

922
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 4: them ten to three, Florida beat them ten to one,

923
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 4: and banner Will beat them twelve to four. That'd be

924
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 4: the only thing I'd be slightly concerned on is like

925
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 4: there's always one game in every series where they're a

926
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,320
Speaker 4: little bit uncompetitive, and then even in the SEC tournament

927
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 4: they got blown out eleven to nothing.

928
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 5: But we've already moved on, but we look forward, not.

929
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,760
Speaker 4: Back, but their SEC core regular season champions for a reason.

930
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 4: They they earned that, they deserved it, so I would

931
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 4: I wouldn't put too much stock into that going into

932
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:01,760
Speaker 4: going forward.

933
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 5: How much do we know about the team's coming to Lexington.

934
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 5: You've already started some bios for the website. I know

935
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 5: there's been a lot of talk team fans didn't want

936
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 5: to see Indiana State. They start with Western Michigan. What

937
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 5: can you tell us about what's coming to town?

938
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like you touched on earlier, Indiana State was a

939
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 4: team that they thought they'd be in good shaped to

940
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,720
Speaker 4: host the regional. They were number ten in the RPI.

941
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 4: There was only one team ahead of them in the

942
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,720
Speaker 4: RPI that wasn't a host. I think it was wake Forest.

943
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 4: But let me think Illinois. I'll go down.

944
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 5: State lost to Evansville, right, so they lost their their

945
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 5: conference championship. Is that what?

946
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 4: Yeah? That's yeah, I think so those.

947
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 5: Are to Evansville. Man, that happens to people.

948
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 2: All the great baseball players come out of the Evansville area.

949
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, Indiana State, they were both they were projected to

950
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 4: host in the final field of sixty four from D

951
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 4: one Baseball and Baseball America. So I guess they do

952
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 4: that on geography. It's a bit different than the basketball tournament,

953
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 4: like because even like the fifteen seeds and the fourteen seeds,

954
00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 4: they got two seeds that aren't even close to as

955
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 4: good as Indiana State is, so a little down on that,

956
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 4: but further than Indiana State, like I said, Illinois, they're

957
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 4: out of the Big ten, but in the Big ten

958
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,359
Speaker 4: in baseball is really not great. So they won it,

959
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 4: so props to them. And then Western Michigan won the MAC.

960
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 4: But both of those teams don't have many Quad one

961
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 4: opportunity so this is kind of new territory for them

962
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 4: this weekend. But we'll dive more into that as the

963
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 4: week furthers goes further on.

964
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's just get it done against.

965
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 2: Those truth he We do want to give a shout

966
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,879
Speaker 2: out to Northern Kentucky University. They're also in the NCAA

967
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:35,280
Speaker 2: tournament for the first time as a Division I school, Shannon.

968
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 2: When you and I played, they were in the Great

969
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 2: Lakes Valley Conference Division two.

970
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 3: That's right, yeah, now D one.

971
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 2: D one won the Horizon League twenty three to five

972
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,359
Speaker 2: in the championship game. Againt Youngstown State, But so we

973
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 2: need to get behind Northern Kentucky because I believe their

974
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 2: first round game is against Tennessee at Tennessee.

975
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 5: Huh.

976
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,359
Speaker 2: So we need a root for UK here in town

977
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 2: and then root for Northern Kentucky down they play Tennessee

978
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 2: this weekend.

979
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 5: Joe Norse, Absolutely, I'll root for anyone against Ti See.

980
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 2: I hit my first collegiate home run against Northern Kentucky.

981
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 2: Had to thank for saying that the first one.

982
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 5: Oh you're fair, there's so many, Well there were three, okay.

983
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 2: Uh hit one in home get at Kentucky Westnansfield and

984
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 2: then they hit one IU Southeast.

985
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 5: And oh you hit one?

986
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah.

987
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 5: Any taunting for the home home state crowds? Uh no,

988
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 5: remember you getting out of state crossing that river.

989
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 2: Their mistake, their mistake. But here we have another question

990
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 2: for Indiana State does appear to be a tough drawl.

991
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 2: Why in the number two spots so early. Like I

992
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 2: guess they're saying, why would we have to maybe face

993
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 2: a team that is overrated in our reason.

994
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 5: Shouldn't like the number sixteen seed that host yes, one

995
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 5: of the best.

996
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I would think so.

997
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 4: Yeah I said the same thing, but I mean, just

998
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,360
Speaker 4: looking into it, people were saying it comes down to

999
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 4: geography or something, which kind of makes no sense to me.

1000
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 5: Like I don't care about that. No, I don't want

1001
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 5: the hard team.

1002
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 2: No.

1003
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 4: I feel like UK and in North Carolina or the

1004
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,919
Speaker 4: two that got jobs, Like North Carolina is the number

1005
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 4: four national seed, they end up with LSU as their

1006
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 4: two seed, like the hottest team in college base Well

1007
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 4: you'd think like the fifteen national seed in the sixteen

1008
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 4: national seed would get an l s U or in

1009
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 4: Indiana State. But like I said, you're at this point

1010
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 4: of the season and UK has done as good as

1011
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 4: they are have done all year. Like you've got to

1012
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:13,080
