Speaker 4: folks in there. One from Oldham County, one from Bell County.

33
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 4: He's from Straight Creek. I mean, I told you now,

34
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 4: he's not from the.

35
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 5: Right fork of straight Creek. He's just from straight Creek.

36
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 2: Now, how can they call it straight creek if there's

37
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 2: a right fork in the.

38
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 5: Just one right fork. It's a straight creek, but it

39
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 5: has a fork.

40
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: What if you're going the other direction, then you're going

41
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: to RJ.

42
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 5: So you just you need to be ready. But it's

43
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 5: nice to have straight Creek in the house.

44
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 6: It's a Kentucky name for.

45
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 5: Well, why is that Kentucky name? It's a creek. It

46
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 5: doesn't have any bends, so it's strange. That's what we do.

47
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 5: It's what it is. Straight.

48
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 4: It's better than the other part of Middlesborg Greasy Creek.

49
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,839
Speaker 4: You don't want to be in greasy Creek. I don't

50
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 4: know why did they call it greasy. I don't remember

51
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 4: it being particularly greasy, but they do have a greasy creek.

52
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 4: So so there you go.

53
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 2: Well, fear not if a greasy creek or straight creek floods.

54
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 2: They got the floodgate. They can keep pining for flooding.

55
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 5: You really, you always make fun of the floodgate. What's ridiculous.

56
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 4: By the way, WYMT, the TV station UH is doing

57
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 4: their their this is their forty anniversary and they're doing

58
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 4: the biggest news stories of the forty years. Yeah, and

59
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 4: I'm going on their website and this is the biggest

60
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 4: countdown for me in a long time, the biggest news

61
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 4: stories in eastern Kentucky in forty years. You know what

62
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 4: number seven was overall? I give up the opening of

63
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 4: the Cumeland Gap tunnel. That was a big deal though,

64
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 4: So I done the college, so I wasn't there. You know,

65
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 4: My mom sang it that that's right, you said that.

66
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 4: And then they had the governor of Kentucky, Tennessee and

67
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 4: Virginia because it's all three states. Here's what I didn't

68
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 4: know until I watched special out of WYMT last night.

69
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 5: Lee Greenwood came in, saw little bit higher on the list.

70
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 4: You get Lee Greenwood for anything, man, if you, if you,

71
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 4: And he was wearing that same American flag shirt.

72
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 5: And when he went from the legs Minnesota and then

73
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 5: he like he got beaming to.

74
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 4: The hills up Tnc and everybody got clapped.

75
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 5: They were decided because you know they were in Cumberland, Gas.

76
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 6: Well, they got snubbed at number seven in the Biggest moments.

77
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 5: Last they were six bigger ones.

78
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 6: You're telling me Lee Greenwood and driving through the coverland Gap. Yes, seventh, Well, I.

79
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 5: Mean that's what they said. I guess want to see

80
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 5: what the top six are.

81
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: But it was a monster story though, and that happened.

82
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 2: I was working at Channel A team and that happened.

83
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: It's a big deal, was it. Yes, they said that.

84
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 4: One of the pre I think Paul Patton, the governor,

85
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 4: spoke and he said, what Daniel Boone started over two

86
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 4: hundred years ago, we're finishing today, and I was like, whoa.

87
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 5: Wow, I didn't ruze it was that. I just thought

88
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 5: you're trying to make us not crash on the mountain anymore.

89
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 5: So anyway, with that level of history, well now I've

90
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 5: got it curious. I want to see what the top

91
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 5: six are.

92
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 4: You're gonna have to tune in to WYMT dot com.

93
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 4: It's October twenty second, and so I don't know for

94
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 4: certain this is the date, but I coalesced on this

95
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 4: date because it's the first time I can I have.

96
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 5: Notes of this happening.

97
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 4: Okay, so I'm going to go ahead and say, because

98
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 4: it's either today or a day or two before or after,

99
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 4: today is the twentieth anniversary of the start of Kentucky

100
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 4: Sports Radio dot Com the website, thank you very much

101
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 4: twenty years twenty years ago today. From what I think

102
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 4: was the first post I put up on Kentucky sports

103
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 4: Radio dot Com and it says something like welcome to

104
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 4: Kentucky Sports.

105
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 5: Radio dot Com.

106
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,679
Speaker 4: It was very it was a very in depth post,

107
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 4: and I thought, twenty years later, it is the largest

108
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 4: college sports team website in America, and I thought, if

109
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 4: you would give me just a minute, Ryan, you can

110
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 4: have all the time you want. I'd like to just

111
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 4: reminisce for a second.

112
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 5: Please this could be Finn. Can I do that all right?

113
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 4: So in two thousand and five, I was working for

114
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 4: Judge Karen Caldwell in Frankfort, Kentucky as a law clerk.

115
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 4: It was my third clerkship and I remember one day

116
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 4: she said to me, you don't really seem to like

117
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 4: being a lawyer. And I was like, good observation, and

118
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 4: she said, you know, you need to pursue what you

119
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 4: love and if it's law, go for it.

120
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 5: But if it's not, that's you know, that's okay. So

121
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 5: I decided I've told the story before.

122
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 4: I heard Adam Curry, former MTVVJ, talk about podcast on

123
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 4: MPR and he said there's this new thing called podcasts

124
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 4: and I was like, oh, man, I could do that.

125
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 4: I could sit and talk about Kentucky sports on a podcast.

126
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 5: Sure.

127
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 4: But I didn't know you know this about me, Drew.

128
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 4: I don't know anything about technology right, didn't know how

129
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 4: to get a podcast on the web, wasn't certain what

130
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 4: the web was at the time. So I decided I

131
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 4: would go to every radio station in Lexington and Louisville,

132
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 4: sports that had any sports and said, hey, you know,

133
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 4: put me on the radio.

134
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 5: And I went.

135
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 4: I literally met with ten, including like a gospel station

136
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 4: out on Versales Road. I met with with iHeart. They

137
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 4: quickly said no. What back then was Cumulus ESPN radio

138
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 4: where Chris Cross famously said you don't have a voice

139
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 4: that they would ever let on the airwaves. That was

140
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 4: his exact quote to me. And then in Louisville, I

141
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 4: did the same thing. All no, So like I, you know,

142
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 4: nobody would put me on. So I said, well, you

143
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 4: know what I'm going to I'm going to do it myself.

144
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 4: So I went to the website Kentucky Sports Report dot com,

145
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 4: which was a website match it was, and I said, hey,

146
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 4: if you will let me put this thing on your website,

147
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 4: that would be be nice, and they said okay. So

148
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 4: then I recorded one with Hubby and a guy named

149
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 4: Rob Goodell who now lives in Florida and coincidentally is

150
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 4: an attorney. He was at the time in college, and

151
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 4: the three of us recorded one and when it was finished,

152
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 4: Kentucky Sports Report said, we.

153
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 5: Won't host this.

154
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 4: This is not worthy of our website. So at this

155
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 4: point I had the door slammed on me on everything.

156
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 4: So I went to my friend Hubby, who at the

157
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 4: time I knew but didn't know really well.

158
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 5: He was my friend the Turkey Hunter's.

159
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 4: Roommate, and I said, you know how to make the

160
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 4: these things they call websites, right, And he said yes,

161
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 4: And I said, all right, I'll give you a third

162
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 4: of the website, which was easy to do because at

163
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 4: the time it was worth nothing.

164
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 5: Zero you get a third of zero, you can get

165
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 5: a third. I thought it was a bargain.

166
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 4: Drew, He's gonna do all the work and I'm not

167
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 4: gonna do anything if you'll build the website. So he

168
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 4: builds what you then saw as Kentucky Sports Radio dot Com,

169
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 4: and I called it Kentucky Sports Radio because ultimately I.

170
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 5: Wanted a radio show. Of course, we didn't.

171
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 4: Get a radio show for five more years, so people

172
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 4: would say, why is it called Kentucky Sports Radio? And

173
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 4: I didn't really have an answer for that because it

174
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 4: was a website. And it goes to show sometimes life's

175
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 4: biggest plans turn out differently. The podcast ended up becoming secondary.

176
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 4: The website became much bigger because blogs as a thing

177
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 4: just kind of took off.

178
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 5: You guys are old enough to remember. There was a

179
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 5: time I'm where the new cool media was blogs. It

180
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 5: wasn't social media, it was blogs.

181
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 4: And during that rise, here we were, and my vision

182
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 4: of it was, you know what, like all these people

183
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 4: take sports so seriously, I'm just gonna write about it

184
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 4: as a fan. I'm gonna acknowledge I want Kentucky to win.

185
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 4: I'm gonna acknowledge that sports are supposed to be fun.

186
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna sit there and like complain. Jerry Tipton

187
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 4: and some of those guys were always complaining.

188
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 5: I was like, I'm.

189
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 4: Gonna acknowledge I want Kentucky to win. And I just

190
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 4: got a bunch of my friends to write with me.

191
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 4: There was Rob Goodell, it was his buddy John Wilkinson,

192
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 4: who we named the Intern, who was at our twentieth

193
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 4: anniversary party and said please stop calling me the Intern

194
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 4: now he is now in his forties, The Turkey Hunter,

195
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,599
Speaker 4: my friend Chris Moseley, Chris Tomlin, these people, and we

196
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 4: would put it out there and over the course of

197
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 4: time it found an audience and it became like a

198
00:09:59,200 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 4: real thing.

199
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 5: A lot of people would listen to us.

200
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 4: I didn't really know why We kept doing the podcast,

201
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 4: but the website was.

202
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 5: Really the thing. Then in.

203
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 4: Two thousand and seven, a big thing happened, which was

204
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 4: we started covering recruiting and Patrick Patterson and Jay Lucas.

205
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 4: If you want to look at the rise of Kentucky

206
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 4: Sports Radio, two big moments. Number One, Patrick Patterson and

207
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 4: Jay Lucas. They were driving to decide whether or not

208
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 4: they were gonna come to Kentucky. You guys know, this

209
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 4: maybe the biggest recruitment of all time. I know that

210
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 4: sounds strange, but at the time what at the time,

211
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 4: Maybe it was because people thought, if Tubby can get

212
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 4: these guys, we're back, We're back, and they didn't like

213
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 4: how much people were calling them. I would argue Ryan

214
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 4: Recruiting was bigger then in this fan base almost than

215
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 4: it is now. Do you agree in terms of the

216
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 4: way people followed it so intently.

217
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 2: I think there's no doubt.

218
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 5: Absolutely. So they just got.

219
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 4: Tired of answering everybody's phone calls, and for whatever reason,

220
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 4: they liked me and Rob Goodell and so they would

221
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 4: only answer our phone call.

222
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 5: And so we had all of these.

223
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 4: Exclusive interviews with Patrick Patterson and Jay Lucas, and it

224
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 4: built our website. The only way you could get information

225
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 4: on Patrick Patterson and Jay Lucas was US. Now, Jay

226
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 4: Lucas is the coach at Miami. Patrick Patterson is a

227
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 4: movie critic in Toronto. But we would do that and

228
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 4: it really built up. And then the second thing is

229
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 4: around two thousand and nine, I met this. I saw

230
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 4: this weird kid that went to the University of Weird.

231
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 6: Hang on, now you carry a tonel in your pocket.

232
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 4: This wild kid who's out partying at the University of

233
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 4: Kentucky named Drew Franklin. He had a website that was

234
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 4: called Horace Grant's Halftime Report yep, shouting up. And there

235
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 4: was another guy named TJ. Bisner who what was his

236
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 4: website called Ooh?

237
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 6: His was UK related, I can't remember the it.

238
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 5: Was called something.

239
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 4: And I looked around and I said, the two best

240
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 4: websites besides mine are these two. So rather than fight

241
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 4: with them, let me see if they'll join me. And

242
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 4: they both did, and all of a sudden, it went

243
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 4: from I think.

244
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 5: Decent to really really good.

245
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 4: Those two guys who were hilarious and smart and funny,

246
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 4: the three of us, and then all the secondary people

247
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 4: we kind of combined and then at that moment, here

248
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 4: comes John.

249
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 5: Calperry to Kentucky.

250
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 4: And the combination of all that exploded, interest exploded.

251
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 5: His daughters at the time really liked the website.

252
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 4: They thought it was funny as people were trying to

253
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 4: decide if cow was gonna come. You've said they put

254
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 4: our sites on the television.

255
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 5: We did.

256
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 2: We quoted Kentucky sports Radio dot com several times on

257
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 2: the local news. They're our sports cast.

258
00:12:58,640 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 5: And it took off.

259
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 4: John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins when they came, we kind

260
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 4: of connected with them pre social media. They would give

261
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 4: us scoop and pictures that now they'd probably put on

262
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 4: Twitter and Instagram themselves, but they didn't have a way

263
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 4: to get them out, so they'd send them to me

264
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 4: and Drew and the next thing, you know, the thing

265
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 4: really takes off and over the course of the next

266
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 4: twenty years becomes the largest college sports.

267
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 5: Team site in America.

268
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 4: In twenty twenty, we sold it to On three and

269
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 4: it is still going now. Tyler Thompson another huge part

270
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 4: when she joined as part of a blogger contest. And

271
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 4: I think I said in my tweet this morning, Rob, Drew,

272
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 4: TJ and Tyler I think are the four people who

273
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 4: had the biggest part besides me in doing it. And

274
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 4: you know, no matter what I do for the rest

275
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 4: of my career, that will always be the thing I'm

276
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 4: the most proud of. From walking into Hubby's house, going

277
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 4: into his basements, I think he was in his box

278
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 4: of shorts when I went in there and asking him

279
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 4: to build a website to now it has employed dozens

280
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 4: of people over the years, maybe one hundred people over

281
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 4: the years, and has become a radio show, has become

282
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 4: a television show, has become a bar, has become this

283
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 4: massive force, and is the largest force in the University

284
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 4: of Kentucky athletic media space. I'm really proud of it,

285
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 4: and I want to thank everybody that has worked for

286
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 4: it over the years. It's a lot of people now

287
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 4: who do a lot of things, many of which have

288
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 4: jobs in media.

289
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 5: All over the place, and all of you all.

290
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 4: Who've listened, who've read, who've been a part of it.

291
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 4: Without you, guys, it's nothing. And I wake up today

292
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 4: kind very proud of what the last twenty years have been.

293
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 4: Like Drew sitting here, I think you Drew. I think

294
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 4: you Ryan, even though you never wrote on it. You

295
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 4: were one of our biggest advocates. When I started, the

296
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 4: media hated me. The only person they hated me was

297
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 4: more that was Drew.

298
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 5: But you were.

299
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 4: Always wonderful and in a room full of people that

300
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 4: were not nice to us, I could always count on

301
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 4: Ryan Lemon being one of the few friendly faces and

302
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 4: voices from the media. And I thank you both, and

303
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 4: I'm excited to celebrate today.

304
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 2: You do nothing but around you get nothing but a

305
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 2: round of applause. That's awesome, It's fantastic. And every time

306
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 2: I hear you tell this story, I'm always just amazed

307
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 2: at the foresight you had for two things, just brilliant moods.

308
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 2: One you called it Kentucky Sports Radio without a radio show.

309
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, because I thought somebody would give me a radio

310
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 4: show and no one did.

311
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 2: That was what struck out everywhere. You call it Kentucky

312
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 2: Sports Radio. And the second thing you had the great foresight,

313
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 2: was you hired Drew. You brought him on man. That

314
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 2: was perfect union.

315
00:15:58,920 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 5: Well.

316
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 4: One of the things that I think separates the difference

317
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 4: between good leaders and bad ones is creating other stars.

318
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 4: If you're selfish and you make it, I sound like

319
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 4: John CALIPERI you make it all you, you'll lose, And

320
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 4: I could tell I knew the first time I met Drew. Now,

321
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 4: he was probably drunk, wearing something stupid and acting a fool,

322
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 4: but I knew like that dude's got something and uh

323
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 4: and I was right. And so yes that I agree

324
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 4: with you. I think that's the most important. I mean,

325
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 4: of all the things I talked about, the most important

326
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 4: moment was.

327
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 5: When I brought on Drew. And now we're here.

328
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 6: Well, thank you for that. How many years has it

329
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 6: been for me?

330
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 5: Early two thousand and nine, I'll always tell you.

331
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 6: Always tell people they hired cow Wall, committed, cousins committed,

332
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 6: and then I joined ks are I always say we

333
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 6: were a four pack for Big Blue Nation there around

334
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 6: the same time. But I wasn't there in two thousand

335
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 6: and five to see the beginnings, but two different in

336
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 6: two thousand and nine, and I'm still blown away just

337
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 6: being along for the ride at what it is now.

338
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,199
Speaker 6: If you had told me, however many full times we

339
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 6: have now with benefits and insurance and people have families

340
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 6: and it's their true job. If that little bog we

341
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 6: were on fifteen to twenty years ago, if i'd known

342
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 6: it would turn into that, I honestly wouldn't have believed you.

343
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 6: It started as just fun and following the cats. And

344
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 6: look at it.

345
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 7: Now.

346
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 4: There's a picture I posted on Twitter that y'all to

347
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 4: look at. It's me, Hobby, Rob Goodell and the intern

348
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,479
Speaker 4: John Wilkinson, and we are sitting in the lobby of

349
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 4: a holiday in out in Hamburg interviewing Wukash and I

350
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,959
Speaker 4: think Jeremy Jarmon and that's what it used to be

351
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 4: look like. We would beg places to just let us

352
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 4: set up there and talk.

353
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 6: I think I'm standing on a chair in that photo.

354
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 6: I haven't even seen it in a long time.

355
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,959
Speaker 4: It really is sort of the epitome of kind of

356
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 4: the you know, rogue way we used to do stuff.

357
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 5: We got kicked out.

358
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 4: Of so many things when we start, and we're still

359
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 4: getting kicked out of things twenty years later. That makes

360
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 4: me happy. So appreciate you letting me kind of go

361
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 4: down memory.

362
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 2: I don't know who picked the beautiful colors of yellow

363
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 2: and gray.

364
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 4: Because they were the you want to know where the

365
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 4: colors came from the original site colors Corey Price has

366
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 4: a post of what the site used to look like.

367
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 5: Would you like to know why they're yellow and gray?

368
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 5: I would like to.

369
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 4: They were the only things that the website company would

370
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 4: let us have for free. You had to pay for

371
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 4: other colors, and we didn't have any money, so we

372
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 4: left it at yellow and gray.

373
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 5: So even though it was a Kentucky site, it was

374
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 5: yellow and.

375
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 4: Gray for a long time because you had to pay

376
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 4: for the color.

377
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 6: I feel like you owe Boon's Butcher Shop a shout out.

378
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, the original the original banner, the.

379
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 4: Only endorsement we had for ten years. Boone's Butcher Shop?

380
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 4: Is that still open?

381
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 5: I hope?

382
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 7: So?

383
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 4: I hope it is go to Boone's Butcher stop and

384
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 4: buy big slab of meat today. All right, we'll take

385
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 4: a break and be right back. This is Kentucky Sports.

386
00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 5: Ready.

387
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 4: That's right, that Boon's Butcher Shop. That's their old jingle.

388
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 4: They're still open, apparently. I'm glad to hear that. In Bardstown,

389
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 4: I think right. It's hard money they saved on advertising, exactly.

390
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 5: They paid it.

391
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 4: They'd write me a check once a year, and we

392
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 4: gave them a prime spot, and then after we were

393
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 4: actually able to sell advertising, I let them keep that

394
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 4: prime spot. Should it be loyal to the people that

395
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 4: were loyal to you, Ryan early on.

396
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 2: First one to step up donate some money to the cause.

397
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 2: They absolutely earned that right to have that spot.

398
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 4: One person writes Matt, who is the longest writer that

399
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 4: writes on the site that's still there. Well, Drew is now,

400
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 4: But the answer to that question until a couple months

401
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 4: ago would have been Brian the intern, who was writing

402
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 4: from early early on, like from the not the beginning,

403
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 4: but very close to the beginning.

404
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, you mentioned my other blog bt I used to

405
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 6: link to it, and I thought it was the coolest

406
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 6: thing when bt I would link to my blog on

407
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 6: Paris because I was a student of UK I read

408
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 6: KSR just to have.

409
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 5: One person writes Matt.

410
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 4: When was the first time that you you realize people

411
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 4: were actually reading your website. I can tell you the

412
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 4: exact moment when we beat Georgia. Rich Brook's first big

413
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 4: win was against Georgia in O six.

414
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 5: You think sounds right, I want to.

415
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 4: Say six and five or six. Well, he won all

416
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 4: those games in O seven. In my mind, we beat

417
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 4: him at home in O six. It might have been

418
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 4: O five, but but but either way, when the game

419
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 4: was over, he hubby lived in coach Light Woods.

420
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 5: Do you know where that is heard of?

421
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,360
Speaker 4: That coach Light Woods right across the street from from

422
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 4: from CommonWell Stadium and we would tailgate there and when

423
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 4: the game was over, me and him, Turkey Hunter, our

424
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 4: friend Aaron.

425
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,959
Speaker 5: Sutton, and some we made a sign that said honk

426
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 5: if you read KSR.

427
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 4: And the traffic was so bad getting out of Commonwealth

428
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 4: Stadium that people were stuck and people were honking.

429
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 5: Now I don't know if they were just honking to.

430
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 4: Get us out of the street or if just because

431
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 4: they read but we were like hanging on people's cars

432
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 4: holding that sign up.

433
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 5: And that was the first time I was like, oh,

434
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 5: somebody may be reading this. Uh.

435
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 4: And that was when we beat Georgia. I think that

436
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 4: was in six I could be wrong.

437
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 2: I know exactly when I started following the blog. Gabe

438
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 2: Pendleton is the one that told me said, hey, you

439
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 2: need to go check out this website. You know, this

440
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 2: is where it's at. And then we started checking it out,

441
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 2: and right when the j Lucas and Patrick Patterson thing hit,

442
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 2: we quoted you guys on the sportscast because you were

443
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 2: the only people had any information and kind of just

444
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 2: took off of them for me.

445
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 5: Yes, uh eight, Well, so there you go, eight, I'm

446
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 5: nine to two eight.

447
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 2: Oh.

448
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 4: If you have questions, ask anything Wednesday, I'm glad to

449
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 4: uh uh to answer them. I have a question for

450
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 4: you though, that came in last night that I want

451
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 4: to ask.

452
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 5: Somebody, writes Matt.

453
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 4: In order, I'd like to hear all four of you

454
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 4: say one, two three most likely period names? Who's the

455
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 4: UK football coach next year? Now, presumably that could also

456
00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 4: be Mark Stoops? So one two three, just simple question?

457
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 5: Who is the UK football coach next year? Right, I'm

458
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 5: gonna let you go first.

459
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 4: We only have one minute before we have to take

460
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 4: another break because I went along. So you do yours

461
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 4: and we'll do ours after the break.

462
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 5: One two three, I'll.

463
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 2: Do Mark Stoops one okay, Will Stein two? Okay, John

464
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 2: Summer three.

465
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 5: All right, so you're going Stoops Stein some row? Yeah?

466
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 5: And does your Stoops thing require him to win a

467
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:31,479
Speaker 5: bunch of games?

468
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 2: Requires him to win more than one?

469
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 5: Okay? So you're going Stoop signed someme wrong? All right?

470
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 4: All right, we will do ours after the break. I

471
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,479
Speaker 4: would say open up. You know you could also end

472
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 4: up why of scenarios. You could end up with a

473
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 4: Brad White scenario. There could be another name that flies.

474
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:49,639

Speaker 3: No more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.

481
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 5: Here's Matt Jones. Welcome back. Take you Sports Radio.

482
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 4: By the way, you're gonna have to hear another version

483
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 4: of this in about three or four weeks when we

484
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 4: hit the fifteenth anniversary of the radio show, because that's coming.

485
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 5: That one include a lot more Ryan.

486
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 4: But you're gonna there'll be a different version of that

487
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 4: because these they ended up being the same year.

488
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're five years apart, right.

489
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 5: Because this started just five years exactly from that.

490
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 2: I mean, it is an unbelievable success story. Really, where

491
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 2: you guys started and where it is today, it's amazing

492
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 2: business perspective, amazing.

493
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,199
Speaker 4: But let me just say, don't act like this was

494
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 4: like some grand plan. It was always just like a hobby.

495
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 4: I never if you had told me to be a

496
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 4: crowd laughed at you, like I still thought I was

497
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 4: gonna be a lawyer up until I mean I didn't

498
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 4: stop practicing law a little two thousand and eleven, So

499
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 4: I mean, I never thought that this would be like.

500
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 2: A came on right when blogs were taken off. Yeah,

501
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 2: you came on right when social media was taken off me,

502
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 2: and you hit it.

503
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 4: The Rick Petino trial, the Rick Patino Karen Cipher trial

504
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 4: is why my social media took off because I covered

505
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 4: that trial live and live tweeted the trial.

506
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 5: So I live tweeted, I did.

507
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 4: Down my leg in less than fifteen seconds and it

508
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 4: went viral, and that's kind of how that started, so

509
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 4: that I actually have to.

510
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 5: Thank Karen Cipher Rick Petino for that part of it.

511
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 2: Didn't you say one time that like you were like

512
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 2: the only media person in the courtroom.

513
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 5: I've said that a lot.

514
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 4: There's one w DRP person that always gets mad and

515
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 4: said he was there too, So I'm gonna say one

516
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 4: of two people that was there.

517
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 5: But a lot of.

518
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 4: The look amazingly, a lot of the Louisville media didn't

519
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 4: go because they didn't want to embarrass Rick Petina, which

520
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 4: is crazy because it was one of the biggest stories

521
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 4: in the country. Rick Steve Boziello said to me one

522
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 4: time that now they can chuckle about it, but they

523
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 4: blamed me for the I did down my leg in

524
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 4: less than fifteen seconds because it wouldn't have come out.

525
00:24:58,960 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 2: You're the one to put it out.

526
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 4: I I hadn't tweeted that out, all right, So you

527
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 4: gave the coaches. Let's go with you, Shannon. What's your one, two, three?

528
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 3: Well, I think it's gonna be Mark Stoop's number one,

529
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 3: because I think to do just enough to be able

530
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 3: to hand hold on to his job and come back

531
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 3: for another year, all right. Number two, I think John

532
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 3: summerl It's been a heightened name that's been mentioned for years.

533
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:19,959
Speaker 1: A lot of fans want them here.

534
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 3: Will Stein is my number three, So it's Stoop somemmra

535
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 3: all Stein.

536
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 5: Stoop some ral Stein is your list? What's yours?

537
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 6: I hate to just keep doing the same three, but

538
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 6: I believe it's different than yours. I'm gonna change the order.

539
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 6: I will say. Actually, I'm gonna do Stoops one just

540
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 6: because the others the percentage chance is smaller. I don't

541
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 6: believe Stoops will be here, but I don't know of

542
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 6: a sure thing. I'll go Stoope, Stein, Somemmraw.

543
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 5: Mine's gonna be very different.

544
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, let good get something to talk about.

545
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go.

546
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 4: If I had to go to Vegas and make a

547
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 4: bet on who are coaches next year, I'm gonna say

548
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 4: Will Stein. I'm gonna say Dan second and Mark Stoops third.

549
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 4: I don't think John Sumraw will be the coach here,

550
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 4: not because he does what, not because I just think

551
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 4: he's gonna get offered a better job. I think he's

552
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 4: gonna get offered from what I've heard talking to people.

553
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 6: I think he's gonna get off of the Auburn job

554
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 6: when their fans are all about it on Twitter, when that.

555
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 4: Comes open, and I think he'll have to take the

556
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 4: Auburn job. Now, if he doesn't get off of the

557
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 4: Auburn job, that may flip and I might put some

558
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 4: Raw one.

559
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 5: But I I.

560
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 4: Feel, sources tell Matt Jones, I feel he'll be the

561
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 4: coach at Auburn next year unless you freeze, like wins

562
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 4: out or something and ends up keeping that job and

563
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 4: Stoops is three, because I think the scenario for Stoops

564
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 4: to stay requires.

565
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 5: More wins than we're gonna get.

566
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,479
Speaker 4: Stein's one, because I think he's like a perfect match

567
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 4: of He's He's a really good candidate, but probably not

568
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 4: quite good of enough of a candidate to get a

569
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 4: job that's significantly better than ours. So he probably won't

570
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 4: get Florida State, Florida, Penn State, or Auburn. He probably

571
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 4: will get offered jobs on our level, so like say Arkansas, UCLA, etc.

572
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 4: But I think the Kentucky connection will end up would

573
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 4: be what would bring him here. And then I think

574
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 4: if for whatever reason, he were to take a job

575
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 4: that isn't ours, I think Dan Mullen is a Mitch

576
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 4: Barnhardt kind of higher in the sense that he's had success.

577
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 4: There's some stability there, and you know, Dan Mullens never

578
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 4: really failed exactly as a coach. He won a Mississippi State,

579
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 4: he won not at the level they wanted, but he

580
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 4: woned Florida more than the other coaches have.

581
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 5: And then he's won at UNLV.

582
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 4: So now the answer maybe somebody off the time, But

583
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 4: if that's where I were betting, I would go style

584
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 4: and then some are off for me would probably be fourth.

585
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 4: I just think he's gonna get offered a better job

586
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 4: than us. I think that's what the most remember. The

587
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 4: other thing about Auburn he coached at Troy right in Alabama,

588
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 4: so there's a lot of connections there as well.

589
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 6: He also if Kiffin were to leave for Florida, I

590
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 6: would think Old Miss might call him to.

591
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 5: See I think we'd get him over Old Miss.

592
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 4: I just think there's like four jobs that are going

593
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 4: to be open that you have to take over us.

594
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 4: You have to take Florida, you have to take Florida State,

595
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 4: you have to take Penn State, and you have to

596
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 4: take Auburn. I think when you get to that next tier,

597
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 4: even if it's old Miss, like you can rationalize going

598
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 4: to Kentucky over Old Miss. I don't think you can

599
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 4: rationalize going over those other four schools.

600
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 2: Dan Mullen's the big puzzle for me because, like you said,

601
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 2: he's had success everywhere he went, but it seems like

602
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 2: we always beat him. Like he was never somebody I

603
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 2: was ever scared of as an opposing coach.

604
00:28:55,320 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 5: But I think if you hired him, it's like he'd

605
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 5: be solid. Yeah.

606
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 4: Now does that mean like, is he gonna take you

607
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 4: to the Promised Land?

608
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 5: Maybe not?

609
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 4: I will tell you I will if Stoops is gone,

610
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 4: I'll be advocating for Will Snett. I just think, you know,

611
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 4: he takes my number one criterion, which is he's smart.

612
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 4: He's smart, he's got Kentucky connections, and he's got an

613
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 4: innovative offense, and those are all things that I would

614
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 4: really like to see here, Drew.

615
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 6: I gotta add to Will Stein the word fun. I

616
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 6: watched a highlight reel of someplace you called last week.

617
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 6: I don't even know what I was watching, but it

618
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 6: looked like a lot of fun. And I know a

619
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 6: Kentucky and the SEC maybe you can't do some of

620
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 6: that stuff on offense, But after being the defensive running

621
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 6: team for thirteen years now, I'm ready to you know,

622
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 6: if we are gonna lose, lose forty five to forty

623
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 6: two back like in the old Air eight days. I

624
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 6: don't think it would be like that, but Stein wrote

625
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 6: some crazy stuff that I think would be a lot

626
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 6: of fun to one.

627
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 4: There's also you gotta remember you don't always know what Mark,

628
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 4: You don't always know what Mitch Barnhart's thinking. But I

629
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 4: will say this, I think Mitch Barnhart kind of gets

630
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 4: pegged into this corner of he'll only take coaches like

631
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 4: his personality. But I think we saw in the basketball

632
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 4: search that that was not true.

633
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 5: He went after Danny Hurley.

634
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 4: I think he and Danny Hurley would have hated each other,

635
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 4: but he went after him anyway, And he was willing

636
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 4: to go after Bruce Pearl and Nate Oates, but he

637
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 4: basically got told by the administration that he could not.

638
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 5: So if he was willing to.

639
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 4: Look at those guys, then I think he's going to

640
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 4: be willing to look at guys that maybe we don't

641
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 4: think his personality fits with him because he's done it

642
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 4: in the past.

643
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 2: I think my list, I speak for myself, would be

644
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 2: different if we did this last week before the Texas game.

645
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 2: After the Texas game, I'm one of these people that

646
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 2: kind of get sucked in a little bit. Yeah, we

647
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 2: can maybe win that game at all. If we can

648
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 2: win that game in Florida, he still got a couple

649
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 2: wins on the time.

650
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 4: You genuinely think there's still a way to win enough

651
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 4: games to save stoops.

652
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 6: I do, well, they could be playing coach at Auburn,

653
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 6: you are playing an interim coach.

654
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 5: You gets Florida point.

655
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 6: So you could have two. I mean, those locker rooms

656
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 6: could completely quit. One of them already has.

657
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 4: Mane that we do get the advantage of playing a

658
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 4: Florida and Auburn team that both may not have a Cup.

659
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 5: So you're right, who's up first?

660
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 3: Let's go to bluegrass?

661
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 5: Bluegrass? What's up?

662
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 8: What's going on? Fellas? But just give me a quick

663
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 8: congrats to you fellas. At ninety six through ninety eight,

664
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 8: I was in Augusta, Georgia, and that was long distance

665
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 8: and I couldn't couldn't get no info. And that's when

666
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 8: you all popped up for me right around that area

667
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 8: at that time. Now I start hearing you on the

668
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 8: airwaves in early two thousand, I just want to thank

669
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 8: you guys so much before I get to my clique.

670
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 5: Somebody else go ahead, But.

671
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 8: All right, fellas, let me tell you something now. Out

672
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 8: of this is my question. Out of the second year players,

673
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 8: you hear the big second year jump? We always hear, yes,

674
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 8: do you who do you, guys think is going to

675
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,959
Speaker 8: make the biggest second year jump? And who do you

676
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 8: think is most beneficial for the team?

677
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 4: Well, I mean a right, so biggest second year jump.

678
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 4: I appreciate the call. We really only have what.

679
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 5: Two choices Chandler? Yeah, I mean, I mean you could

680
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 5: you could say like Brandon Garrison, even though it's not

681
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 5: a sophomore, but like a second year with.

682
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 4: We're talking about sophomore. Then it's nowhere Chandler. So who's

683
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 4: got the biggest second Yearler?

684
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 5: By far?

685
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 6: Another against Noah. I've said it over and over, and

686
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 6: since we've had Pro Day in Blue, White and Madness,

687
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 6: I believe it anymore. Chandler is going to really open

688
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 6: some eyes this year. And that's nothing to put Noah down.

689
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 6: I just think Chandler is going to be a huge surpress.

690
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 4: Not to compare white players to white players, but that's

691
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 4: what ends up happening.

692
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 5: Can he be Tyler Hero before he leaves Kentucky?

693
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 6: He has NBA athleticism that you don't see a lot

694
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 6: like that, like when.

695
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 4: He went up and when you have had dog any

696
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 4: Mike Tyler had a dog. Tyler wasn't scared anybody. He

697
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 4: was you know, he had that cow player mentality. Do

698
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 4: you think Callan Chandler has that.

699
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 6: I'm picturing present day Tyler Hero covered in tattoos and

700
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 6: then Mormon Collins huge different personality. I'll say, but on

701
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 6: the court, maybe we'll see. I mean, I still think

702
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 6: Chandler still has a breakout moment coming that we'll have

703
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 6: to see what that looks like. But just as far

704
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 6: as how they play, he has some unique athleticism.

705
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 2: They are a different personalities. Chandler's a happily married man

706
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 2: now goes home to his wife and mid night.

707
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 5: That's true.

708
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 2: But he does have the athleticism that he could match

709
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 2: what Tyler hero had when he was here.

710
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 4: He might be more athletic now. Tyler was a better

711
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 4: player at this stage. He was, but both did the

712
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 4: dunk contestador Chandler is at like, I agree with you.

713
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 5: I think Chandler takes a huge leap.

714
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 4: In part because Chandler was really bad for half the

715
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 4: year last year and then he got much better as

716
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 4: the year went on.

717
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 5: Uh So I think you'll see it. Uh this may

718
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 5: be the last time you ever hear me do this.

719

Speaker 4: me please? Uh so one person rights on the text machine.

741
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 4: Will Stein has been a top name at Penn State.

742
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 4: I don't think we get him well. I mean, if

743
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 4: they offer him at Penn State, he'll go there. I

744
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 4: kind of think I would be surprised if that's where

745
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 4: he ends up going. Uh From If Penn State hire

746
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 4: some I think Penn State's gotta feel like they've got

747
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 4: to go get I saw, you know, something big to

748
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 4: go make it to justify firing Franklin, right.

749
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean Franklin just had over Oregon down and

750
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 6: overtime a few weeks ago, and he gets fired. I

751
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 6: think they're looking for something a little more proven. But

752
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 6: he is a very very hot name right now. And

753
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 6: also I can't help but notice on the Kentucky thing

754
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 6: we're mentioning he has family here. There's like five pictures

755
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 6: of him with Rich Brooks with his arm around him

756
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 6: in Oregon, so he has the Rich Brooks connection. Also,

757
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 6: Rich seems to really like him, and he could be

758
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:35,399
Speaker 6: putting in a word.

759
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 4: Uh did you watch any of the NBA last night?

760
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 4: It was opening It was Opening night. I thought it

761
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 4: was great. You had the do Do Do Do Do

762
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 4: Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do

763
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 4: Do Yeah, And then it was on NBC and it

764
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 4: just felt bigger than these other games have in recent years,

765
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 4: didn't it.

766
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 2: I started watching the ring ceremony and didn't turn it

767
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 2: off till after the second overtime. I didn't plan on

768
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 2: watching the whole game, but I couldn't quit watching it

769
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,439
Speaker 2: because You're right, it felt like a big time playoff game.

770
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 5: I was into the rings.

771
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 4: I don't know if I've ever watched the ring ceremony,

772
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 4: but for some reason I watched it. Then when they

773
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 4: would get their rings, they look so happy.

774
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 5: I don't know. I kind of really liked it. I

775
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 5: don't know I did.

776
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,280
Speaker 6: I was locked in. I was sitting down twenty minutes

777
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,760
Speaker 6: before the pregame show started so that I didn't miss.

778
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 5: Round Ball Rock.

779
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 6: I nostalgias shouldn't hook you this much, But even the

780
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 6: little peacock shooting the lasers, it was nice. I was like,

781
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 6: oh my good, we are back in nineteen ninety six.

782
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 6: It was really cool to watch.

783
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 4: The heart of it is objectively, and I know you

784
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 4: guys will agree with me, but I also think it's objective.

785
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 4: The nineties were the best time to live. Everybody just

786
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 4: like the nineties were the best. We had some technology,

787
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 4: but not enough to disrupt our lives, right like we

788
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 4: had we had a computer, but we didn't have to

789
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 4: carry these stupid phones around, right like.

790
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 5: The economy was really good.

791
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 4: Our biggest worry was that Bill Clinton was, you know,

792
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:06,240
Speaker 4: doing Bill Clinton.

793
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,800
Speaker 5: It's like that was our that was our biggest worry.

794
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 5: Everything was like it.

795
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 4: You know, the music, Shannon was better in the nineties,

796
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 4: the sports Kentucky. Kentucky was great at basketball, Michael Jordan,

797
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 4: you know, Tiger was just getting started. That was exciting.

798
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 4: Americans were still good at tennis. The Braves, the Braves,

799
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:29,919
Speaker 4: I love the Braves back then, Like.

800
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, the movies.

801
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,720
Speaker 4: Movies in the nineties were great. I mean, the nineties

802
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 4: were objectively best. And there's something about that whole NBC

803
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 4: intro that that put me in the nineties.

804
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 5: Every kid who.

805
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 2: Grew up watching the NBA in the nineties, when that

806
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 2: came on last night, you immediately like were sucked in.

807
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 2: The graphics, the music, everything about it was awesome.

808
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 4: And then I mean, honestly, the best time in America

809
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 4: was when from when.

810
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 5: Rut the Soviet Yeah, okay, he's got the music.

811
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 4: From when the Soviet Union fell until nine to eleven,

812
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 4: like that that ten years we just we had nothing

813
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 4: to worry about, did we really.

814
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 6: Talking about the nineties over round ball rock has kind

815
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 6: of given me a kind of cob here too.

816
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 4: It is, and I think there was something about that

817
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,399
Speaker 4: last night that was And then they brought Michael Jordan

818
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 4: on and for.

819
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 5: I don't know why he was on. He told some

820
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 5: story about shooting a free He's the new halftime guy there.

821
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:27,399
Speaker 5: He didn't even talk about the game fun.

822
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 4: He was just like, Yeah, I went to a dinner

823
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 4: and I shot a free throw, and I was like.

824
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 6: That's one of my favorite parts of the night.

825
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 5: He talked.

826
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:35,879
Speaker 6: He said was the most nervous he's been in thirty

827
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:36,879
Speaker 6: years shooting that free throw.

828
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 5: And it also just goes to show he can just

829
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 5: say anything exactly.

830
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 6: You know he's I texted it too.

831
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 4: Do you believe him? He said he hadn't touched the

832
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:45,760
Speaker 4: basketball in eight years.

833
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:47,399
Speaker 5: A little bit.

834
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 6: I could see why you would want to break from basketball.

835
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 6: He seems to always have a cigar and a golf

836
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 6: club in his hands, so I could believe it.

837
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 4: Uh.

838
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 6: Did you see their pregame show though? I did you

839
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 6: think we have technical difficulties? Had Julie felt for him?

840
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 6: They played round ball, Rock, the peacock shot the lasers,

841
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,720
Speaker 6: and then it was utter chaos. The mikes weren't working.

842
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 6: It was popping sound like when our headphones are good.

843
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 6: That producers just walked on stage in the live shot

844
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 6: and are giving McGrady a mic. Then Maria Taylor's mike

845
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 6: went out and they almost just went to break. They

846
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 6: couldn't even form a conversation.

847
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 4: Someone't ask about the whit Carmelo, like everyone was dressed up,

848
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 4: and then Carmelo was wearing a sweatsuit. I mean, I'm

849
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 4: fine with people wearing sw I wear hoodies, but it

850
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 4: feels like you either need to go we all are

851
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 4: in sweatsuits or all in suits. Having Tracy McGrady and

852
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 4: the other guy in a suit, Vince Carter, and then

853
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 4: Carmelo and.

854
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 5: Sweatsuit was kind of weird, wasn't it.

855
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 2: I'm afraid that sweatsuit probably cost twenty thousand dollars though.

856
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 5: It's not just it was just a different look than

857
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 5: the rest of them.

858
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:52,760
Speaker 4: Okay, the game real quick Sga and Case and Wallace

859
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,280
Speaker 4: were great, But everybody wants to talk about Reed Shepherd.

860
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 5: He struggled. Now, this was to be fair, this is

861
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:00,800
Speaker 5: almost like a rookie year for him because he barely

862
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 5: played last year.

863
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 4: But he did struggle on a very big stage. If

864
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 4: you put his name into Twitter last night, it was

865
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:10,320
Speaker 4: not it was mean. Please, no one do it that

866
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 4: knows him well, because it was.

867
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 5: It was bad.

868
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 4: If you looked up Reed Sheppard last night, he got

869
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 4: memed about as hard as you can get memed last night.

870
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:22,479
Speaker 6: I think it's still going. Yeah, offensively though, I did

871
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 6: some things that look good histories, I agree, but someone

872
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 6: needs to tell Reid like, you don't need to wave

873
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 6: off Kevin Durant, just go ahead and get him the ball.

874
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 8: Yeah.

875
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 6: Defensively though, our Kentucky boys were just putting him in

876
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 6: a blender all.

877
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 5: M Wallace and Shay were just taking turns. You want

878
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 5: to take him? Do you want to take him? You

879
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 5: want to?

880
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 4: It felt like cat on cat crime. That wasn't very

881
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 4: nice of Shae in case they did.

882
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 2: He definitely did nothing to help his case to be

883
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:47,439
Speaker 2: a backup point guard on the team.

884
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 5: He made well, he wants to be the starter.

885
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 2: He's he's a long way away man. He made a

886
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 2: really bad turn over there at the end of the

887
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 2: game too.

888
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, just a tough night for him. Was it was

889
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 5: a tough night.

890
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 6: There was a guy starting over him. We're worried about shooting.

891
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 6: He went over seven from three. So the Rockets have

892
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:02,280
Speaker 6: a problem.

893
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:06,280
Speaker 5: They do because yeah, re k guard and Aman Thompson

894
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 5: can't shoot, so it's tough.

895
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:11,800
Speaker 4: Who's next, Joseph, Joseph, go ahead, Joseph.

896
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 7: I appreciate you taking my call. If we hired Dane Mullen,

897
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 7: I will mutiny.

898
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 5: You mutiny Dana guy, I will.

899
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 7: Mutiny because that guy was at Mississippi State for nine seasons.

900
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 7: I think Missippi State and Kentucky are pretty comparable programs. However,

901
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 7: Missippi State has a much better recruiting base. I'm sure

902
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 7: we all agree there.

903
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 5: But he did take him to number one in the country.

904
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 7: And then they promptly lost free straight.

905
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 8: So here's the thing.

906
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 6: Here's record a bunch of.

907
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 7: Seven and sixtes, eight and fives, five and sevens with

908
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 7: a couple of nine and fours.

909
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 5: But I mean to be fair though, how okay?

910
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 4: But but but we all like Mark Stoops before the

911
00:41:57,800 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 4: last three or four years. If you're telling me I

912
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 4: get Mark Stoops from his first ten years, we're probably

913
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 4: taking it right.

914
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:06,879
Speaker 7: This isn't Mark Soups from his first ten years.

915
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 5: Is Dan Mullen.

916
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 4: But if you're saying Dan Mullen, if you're saying Dan

917
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 4: Mullen is like Mark Stoops in his first ten years,

918
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 4: then That's not bad, is it.

919
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 7: That's I'm saying. Dan Mullen at Mississippi State was Mark

920
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 7: Stukes in his first ten years. That is not the

921
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,720
Speaker 7: same thing. You're firing Mark Stoups for another Mark Steps.

922
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 7: That's a bad fire, and you're fire that's objectively bad.
