Speaker 3: Drew Franklin here with Jack Pilgrim and Zach Gagan who
Speaker 3: are still laughing at me for opening up things about myself,
Speaker 3: telling them what I'm doing with my free time. And
Speaker 3: I feel like they're looking at me like I'm a
Speaker 3: big joke. But I'm gonna make a great count Paris. Guys,
Speaker 3: this is the beginning of something special.
Speaker 4: Ever be open with your friends.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 5: I'm the worst therapist of all time.
Speaker 3: Speaking of our friends, joining us now is Lexingon's own
Speaker 3: Josh Hopkins, who you may know from ABC's Cougartown Quantico,
Speaker 3: several Hollywood movies, including Rust coming out on May second.
Speaker 3: He's also one of the biggest UK fans you'll ever meet. Josh,
Speaker 3: Thanks for giving us your time today. How about those
Speaker 3: cats lately? You keep it up with the news?
Speaker 6: Oh are you kidding? My lifeline? You know I'm one
Speaker 6: of those hitting refresh every second. I think you've done
Speaker 6: a great job so far.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Since I've known you, even I remember talking to you
Speaker 3: about the Andrew Wiggins commitment. I mean, you're not just
Speaker 3: kind of a fan. You were dialed into every little
Speaker 3: piece of news. What did you think of the big
Speaker 3: get they got yesterday with Jaden Quainten's I mean that.
Speaker 6: Was that was fantastic.
Speaker 7: What a physical just nenus he is, and to think
Speaker 7: he's doing it.
Speaker 6: At his age. I do have some worries though, you know,
Speaker 6: I'm a warrior, you know, I'm I'm a bit of
Speaker 6: a worrier.
Speaker 7: I worry about his a cl You know, everybody's just
Speaker 7: plugging him in.
Speaker 6: But I mean that's that's you know, it's a it's
Speaker 6: a big swing there.
Speaker 7: A CL's last the I don't think he'd be back
Speaker 7: by Devember or October.
Speaker 6: I'm just worried, that's all.
Speaker 5: Josh, how was a Jack Pugger this? That was my
Speaker 5: next question. We've been in contact a couple of times,
Speaker 5: you know, making sure we're we're keeping each other straight overall,
Speaker 5: Panic Meter, how are you feeling? Have you calmed down
Speaker 5: a little bit after getting some commitments you know, piled
Speaker 5: up obviously beyond Jaden quaintance?
Speaker 7: Ye oh yeah, I love. I love what he's done
Speaker 7: so far. But I and thank you Jack for always
Speaker 7: being there for me. I'm always to your podcast and
Speaker 7: trying to figure out what we're gonna do.
Speaker 6: You know, I'm a big fan.
Speaker 7: I uh yeah, I mean I love the uh Mohammed Dibat.
Speaker 6: You know, he's toughness and good. I was wondering if
Speaker 6: anyone's ever called him cool mode. I don't know. I
Speaker 6: think different different things. Also, I thought maybe we have
Speaker 6: the mo Mamba and the Mountain.
Speaker 2: You might have just created something there the mo.
Speaker 6: Mamba, the Mountain Mamba, and the Mormon mamba. Maybe maybe
Speaker 6: that's something I don't know. But he's a great gap.
Speaker 6: I love.
Speaker 7: I still worry about shooting, Okay, I think we don't
Speaker 7: have quite as good as shooting team as we did
Speaker 7: last year and his so much of Pope's offense is
Speaker 7: predicated on having a bunch of shooters to spread it out.
Speaker 7: So I'm I'm a little worried about not having a
Speaker 7: stretch big right now.
Speaker 6: Any anything there, Jack, Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think we're we're some stuff's in the works. I
Speaker 5: think I think we're we're working toward that one. Maybe
Speaker 5: two more pieces added. And you know it's transferportal seasons,
Speaker 5: so you never know what's gonna come around the corner,
Speaker 5: who's coming, who's going. So uh yeah, I think shooting
Speaker 5: will be addressed, and I think it'll be addressed in
Speaker 5: a timely manner.
Speaker 6: Josh awesome. I love to hear it.
Speaker 3: Speaking of shooting. You told me you're in the middle
Speaker 3: of shooting stuff this week, which maybe want to ask.
Speaker 3: You know, as we said, you're a die hard fan,
Speaker 3: but what's it like if you're in the middle of,
Speaker 3: you know, shooting a movie. You know you're busy. Guy,
Speaker 3: Are you like checking your phone in between takes? Do
Speaker 3: you do you demand a TV somewhere in the corner
Speaker 3: where you can keep up with games? What's it like
Speaker 3: being a fan from AFAR for Josh Hopkins.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, it's interesting.
Speaker 7: The worst part has been like if I'm shooting out
Speaker 7: of the country, because like during March.
Speaker 6: Madness or something, I was shooting for the Big.
Speaker 7: Run made where Andrew Harrison made all those shots. I
Speaker 7: was in Montreal and I would find my way to
Speaker 7: a sports car and I swear they'd be playing like
Speaker 7: junior league hockey on every channel and I was like.
Speaker 6: Come, just put it on. It's the March Madness.
Speaker 8: And they were like, yeah, hey, I don't know what
Speaker 8: that is.
Speaker 6: Man. I couldn't handle it. It drove me crazy. But
Speaker 6: I did find the places.
Speaker 7: But that would drive me insane to see what they
Speaker 7: were playing. But mostly like if I'm on set in
Speaker 7: the States, Like some of the electricians will set up
Speaker 7: a TV for me, you know, close by, usually like
Speaker 7: in my dressing.
Speaker 6: Room or something. I'll have a TV. But it's just
Speaker 6: hard to get me.
Speaker 7: Out of there, you know if we're playing a big game,
Speaker 7: so I'm and of course just follow along on my
Speaker 7: phone if I can't.
Speaker 3: Have you ever recruited someone you're working with, like another
Speaker 3: celebrity or actor to kind of cheer for the Cats
Speaker 3: for you, I'm sure they want you to just be
Speaker 3: in a good mindset, so the probably the whole crew
Speaker 3: is cheering for the Cats on your behalf. But any
Speaker 3: stories of recruiting people to be Cats fans.
Speaker 7: You know, mostly people are annoyed, you know, like they
Speaker 7: don't understand it.
Speaker 6: They don't understand why I say we. Like I had
Speaker 6: the actors, what do you mean we we are we?
Speaker 6: You're not on the team.
Speaker 7: I was like, you have no idea, You have no
Speaker 7: idea the culture or where I come from. I had people,
Speaker 7: you know, I'd come into set early in the morning
Speaker 7: and we'd have it like rehearsal and I'm usually just
Speaker 7: like in a Kentucky shirt or sweatshirt, and every time
Speaker 7: they're like, oh, do you like Kentucky. Yeh, I didn't
Speaker 7: know that from you wearing a Kentucky shirt every day
Speaker 7: mostly and these people that probably dislike Kentucky more because of.
Speaker 3: Me speaking of Kentucky shirts. I gotta plug a show
Speaker 3: that's it's not your show, but it's your good friend
Speaker 3: James Marsden. I got addicted to Paradise on Hulu. Marsden
Speaker 3: plays the president who loves Kentucky basketball, and it seems
Speaker 3: like every scene he's wearing a Kentucky shirt. He had
Speaker 3: a framed jersey in the Oval office. I think they
Speaker 3: are just Kentucky references throughout, and I refuse to believe
Speaker 3: that you did not play a little bit of a
Speaker 3: role in that, whether it be y'all are having a
Speaker 3: beer and you suggest something, but surely you had some
Speaker 3: influence on all the Kentucky connections on that show.
Speaker 7: Well, see I always put that or try to put
Speaker 7: Kentucky stuff, just little Easter eggs and anything I do.
Speaker 7: Like there's been several shits I can't even remember, but
Speaker 7: I knew Quantico was one where.
Speaker 6: I had Kentucky.
Speaker 7: Like jackets in the closet and I had like a
Speaker 7: up on the wall like I like from Kentucky where
Speaker 7: I went to school, and just little things and he
Speaker 7: knows that. And we were having a beer one time
Speaker 7: and he was talking about how they were like in
Speaker 7: the script that they were reading about it said you
Speaker 7: know something about when this is about how he was
Speaker 7: that his call sign that they called him was later
Speaker 7: and I said, well, you know, because he's a Kentucky fan.
Speaker 7: And I said, well, you have to do all this stuff.
Speaker 7: You have to put this jersey on, you have to
Speaker 7: have this around, you have to go pull in Kentucky fan.
Speaker 7: And he told the creator Dan Bogelman about it and
Speaker 7: he said, yo, yeah, we'll go all.
Speaker 6: In then we'll do it.
Speaker 7: So yeah, yeah, I had a little bit to do
Speaker 7: with it.
Speaker 6: Of course.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we sniffed that out right away. There was just
Speaker 3: over the top Kentucky references throughout the show. And since
Speaker 3: you gave mars and a tip there, I need some tips.
Speaker 3: I just revealed to our audience and to my two
Speaker 3: friends here who haven't stopped laughing, that I have committed
Speaker 3: to being Romeo and Juliet here in Lexington. It is
Speaker 3: my acting debut. I won't say that I'm prepared, but
Speaker 3: I am excited. Any tips for someone on the stage
Speaker 3: for the first time, Maybe like when I should start
Speaker 3: looking at the script, how to memorize my lines, things
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 7: I'd say to start looking at the script yesterday, okay,
Speaker 7: And uh, you're doing shape to use your diaphragm.
Speaker 6: You gotta you gotta project. Okay, two households both to like.
Speaker 6: Indignity is favor grown up where we lay ours like that.
Speaker 3: I'm kind of a monotone guy on the radio. I
Speaker 3: don't have that big personality. Are you saying I need
Speaker 3: to really take command of the stage. Maybe this could
Speaker 3: be my big breakout moment.
Speaker 6: Fill fill that space with with your with your drewdness.
Speaker 6: You can do it.
Speaker 2: And uh, I'll definitely start looking at you.
Speaker 6: Got a lot of charisma. We all see. You gotta
Speaker 6: let it all out on the stage.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm nervous, but first things first, I gotta start
Speaker 3: looking at that script. I will take your advice there.
Speaker 3: I can't go back in time and start yesterday, but
Speaker 3: I will this afternoon.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us, Josh.
Speaker 3: Before we let you go, I know you seemed a
Speaker 3: little worried about next season, But do you just feel
Speaker 3: confident in Pope overall that he's gonna get us back
Speaker 3: to the top soon.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I mean, I mean, who couldn't it was.
Speaker 7: It was an a year, absolutely an a my only
Speaker 7: being not an a plus.
Speaker 6: Because we didn't beat Arkansas. We've done that. It's definitely
Speaker 6: a plus.
Speaker 7: We got to a second weekend for the first time,
Speaker 7: and wherever he's just all Kentucky. We got Kentucky kids,
Speaker 7: we got you know, it's the.
Speaker 6: Culture is just people are excited. I think everybody.
Speaker 7: Needed to change, including cow I think we're all better
Speaker 7: for it.
Speaker 6: And I do want to ask this though. I think
Speaker 6: it's kind of interesting. Louisville's back.
Speaker 8: They've had a.
Speaker 7: Great, great recruiting cycle. Right now, what do you guys,
Speaker 7: what do you guys say about that?
Speaker 3: Oh, we'll cut that part out of the podcast. You're
Speaker 3: you're really on fire till that last line, but I guess.
Speaker 2: We'll tipally about it. Okay, there, What do you think.
Speaker 7: Got to my cousin, Sheldon, who's who's a Louisville fan
Speaker 7: who listens in and he's a big louisvill fan.
Speaker 6: I know he's excited, but it worries me a little. Guys, right,
Speaker 6: they're back too, you like that.
Speaker 3: I mean, they've had some good additions, but I don't
Speaker 3: even think Zach was born yet. The last time they
Speaker 3: want tournament game, so baby steps for Louisville. They haven't
Speaker 3: beaten Kentucky and it feels like a millennium.
Speaker 2: We'll let them win the.
Speaker 3: Last I mean, I want them to lose every game,
Speaker 3: but when they actually start losing every game, I'll admit
Speaker 3: it gets a little sad. Like when Kenny Payne was there,
Speaker 3: they tried to lose every game. It was my wish
Speaker 3: for many years. When it happened, I thought, all right,
Speaker 3: we need you to put up a little bit of
Speaker 3: a fight or this isn't fun. So yeah, I like
Speaker 3: when they're kind of back, if that makes sense.
Speaker 6: Right right.
Speaker 7: I like it when they're good, except just not as good,
Speaker 7: just not as good.
Speaker 3: Well, I like your enthusiasm there about Pope and the
Speaker 3: Cats moving forward. You were a Robertson and not a
Speaker 3: pal and that answer there, So it's good to hear
Speaker 3: from you again.
Speaker 2: I'm that's an old reference right there. It sure is.
Speaker 2: Keep holding down Austin for us.
Speaker 3: I know the two games we played there this past year,
Speaker 3: basketball and football didn't go well. But it's a lot
Speaker 3: of fun seeing you there and BBN taking over that
Speaker 3: city a couple of times. I hope we're back soon.
Speaker 7: That was a lot of fun seeing you know when
Speaker 7: you're like, when I come home for a while, I
Speaker 7: have to adjust and I'll see somebody looks like I'll
Speaker 7: see like a Kentucky license plate and I'll be like, Kentucky.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I'm in Kentucky.
Speaker 6: Everyone was here the whole weekend. I was like, Hey, Kentucky.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, Kentucky's in town. Look go bigoo oh Kentucky.
Speaker 7: They're in town. So that was a lot of fun
Speaker 7: for me. So everybody, please come to Austin. It makes me,
Speaker 7: It makes me happy.
Speaker 3: That was a fun one. Blue definitely took over. And
Speaker 3: thanks for you hopping on and taking over KSR with
Speaker 3: us for a few minutes. We appreciate your time. Enjoy
Speaker 3: whatever you're working on now, and we'll all be looking
Speaker 3: out for us coming out soon.
Speaker 6: Hey break a leg, Drew, Okay.
Speaker 3: Like that's actual lygo thanks Josh good.
Speaker 2: I'll google it and learn what that means. Thanks Josh.
Speaker 3: Sounds like the pro there telling me I should have
Speaker 3: already looked at my script.
Speaker 2: Just two actors, you know, talking ball. You know, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's right. I mean we're basically the same person. Jack.
Speaker 2: You hear from Josh occasionally.
Speaker 3: He does you even heard it there in his answers,
Speaker 3: he does get in a little bit of panic mode
Speaker 3: about what's going on with the roster. He's not like
Speaker 3: a fan that pops in and he's the wife for
Speaker 3: a day and goes back to Hollywood.
Speaker 2: He lives and breathes Kentucky basketball.
Speaker 5: I remember the first time I ever interact with it, like,
Speaker 5: you know, big big deal cougar TWN like I have
Speaker 5: known the stardom of Josh Hopkins forever. I remember I
Speaker 5: drove myself to Saint Louis to go have a one
Speaker 5: on one with Cameron Fletcher and he DM me right
Speaker 5: afterwards said, hey, I listened to every single sources say
Speaker 5: I really appreciate what you do.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 5: That was a really great interview. You know, you know
Speaker 5: that he was a little nervous to be on with you,
Speaker 5: and I'm like, what is this dude reaching out to
Speaker 5: me like saying, hey, your craft is I appreciate your
Speaker 5: I'm like, you're you're on TV, You're you're the star here.
Speaker 5: We don't belong in the same conversation, in the same circle.
Speaker 5: So I really appreciated that. So he's an og od
Speaker 5: Kentucky fan, OGKSR fan.
Speaker 6: He is.
Speaker 3: I mentioned at the time when we were down in
Speaker 3: Austin the night before the football game, a bunch of
Speaker 3: us got together to watch the basketball game. It was
Speaker 3: one of those early non conference conference ones. And uh,
Speaker 3: Luckett and Raush from KSR there for the football game,
Speaker 3: and uh they came up to meet Josh and Kevin
Speaker 3: Richardson from the Backstreet Boys. I mean, this is this
Speaker 3: is some high star study. Yeah, this is some this
Speaker 3: is this is some A listers. And Kevin Richdon looks
Speaker 3: at Lucky. He's like, I know, Lucket, I was listening
Speaker 3: to eleven personnel on my way. And so it's crazy.
Speaker 3: You see these big UK fans and it's not just
Speaker 3: symbolism to their hometown. They are dialed in on everything
Speaker 3: happening with UK. And uh, we'll take a break now
Speaker 3: we'll talk about more of what's happening with UK. Get
Speaker 3: more of your calls on the Clark's Pumping Shop phone line.
Speaker 3: It was a fun interview with Josh. It was fun
Speaker 3: confessing what I'm doing in my free time, and we'll
Speaker 3: be right back with more. Welcome back to Kentucky Sports
Speaker 3: Radio Drew Franklin with Jack Pilgrim and Zach Gagan making
Speaker 3: his KSR radio debut. Dunbar z own Zach Gagan. Gotta
Speaker 3: let him know right, let him know where you're from.
Speaker 3: Shout to the Bulldogs, Yeah, shout out to the bulldogs. Indeed,
Speaker 3: I've had a few people ask me where they can
Speaker 3: watch me absolutely bomb on stage here in a few weeks.
Speaker 3: LCT on Stage dot org is where you can buy tickets.
Speaker 3: If you go, it won't just be me bombing on stage.
Speaker 3: There'll be a lot of people having fun. There's a
Speaker 3: there's an auction you can participate in to help out.
Speaker 3: There'll be some drinks. We'll have some fun there and
Speaker 3: if you can't go, you can donate online or participate
Speaker 3: in the auction online.
Speaker 2: But go to LCT on Stage. Check that out.
Speaker 3: Also a little piece of news, Rick tells me here
Speaker 3: in about eight minutes, we're getting kicked off KRD in Louisville.
Speaker 3: Louisville Bats have a game today. So if you're listening
Speaker 3: in Louisville or online on KRD, switch over to w
Speaker 3: L A P and Lexington or any of the other
Speaker 3: affiliates around the state. Speaking of Louisville Bats, damn Louisville
Speaker 3: Cards got us. Last night guys, Cats traveled to Louisville
Speaker 3: to play in the Battle of the Bluegrass. It's a
Speaker 3: close game. Kentucky ends up losing four to three in
Speaker 3: ten innings. It was a four straight game. Kentucky was
Speaker 3: tied going into the ninth. Uh it even got us
Speaker 3: scored a run in the tenth, but Louell had two
Speaker 3: in the bottom of the tenth. Kentucky use seven pitchers.
Speaker 3: The first six held u of l to two runs,
Speaker 3: but it unraveled in the bottom of the tenth and
Speaker 3: we lost another one to the dang Cards. It's now
Speaker 3: fourteen out of eighteen loosen to Louisville for the Batcats.
Speaker 3: Just it stinks losing the Cards in any sport. I
Speaker 3: don't I don't want our rowing team to lose to Louisville.
Speaker 4: Softball beat them a couple days here there you go,
Speaker 4: let's just focus on softball.
Speaker 5: Just do a segment on softball instead.
Speaker 3: Yeah, or all the basketball wins. But you know, we
Speaker 3: did have to hold an l last Night Cats fall
Speaker 3: to eighteen and twelve overall, five and seven in the SEC.
Speaker 3: They played a lot of ranked teams lately. And it
Speaker 3: doesn't get any easier because this upcoming weekend, Texas is
Speaker 3: coming to Lexington. See Texas's ranked second, So maybe we can,
Speaker 3: you know, get back on trap. I can upset Texas.
Speaker 3: But a tough loss there in Louisville at Patterson Stadium.
Speaker 3: Somebody said they got a little not necessarily a fight,
Speaker 3: we got a little mixing it up a little before
Speaker 3: the game.
Speaker 2: So the rivalry, it's in all sports, bad blood across
Speaker 2: the board.
Speaker 6: I know.
Speaker 4: The rivalry was extending online as well. Our our good
Speaker 4: friend Daniel Hager was kind of getting himself into some
Speaker 4: some social media beef. I noticed with some Louisville fans
Speaker 4: drew some blocks, got some I got blocked a couple
Speaker 4: of times. I think that's how you know that you've
Speaker 4: ruffled the right feathers. Though, So shout out to our
Speaker 4: boy Daniel for doing that. But yeah, can tuck little.
Speaker 4: Media is just soft in general, though, so I feel
Speaker 4: like getting blocked by them isn't It isn't like the
Speaker 4: equivalent of getting blocked by somebody of substance elsewhere, you know, sure.
Speaker 2: Uh, speaking of Louisville.
Speaker 3: Having my notes here, this is kind of kind of
Speaker 3: oldest news came out over the weekend, But I've been
Speaker 3: meaning to get some basketball thoughts on it is. I
Speaker 3: saw Rick schedule a game with Louisville. We're gonna have
Speaker 3: a little Saint John's Louisville maybe in the works. He
Speaker 3: mentioned that at the Final Four. My man Rick is
Speaker 3: just circling all the old hits.
Speaker 5: You know, he likes to talk.
Speaker 3: Is also come back to Big Blue Nation for there's
Speaker 3: been talking maybe playing Pope one year. You know, out
Speaker 3: of nowhere, just made a video telling Kentucky fans not
Speaker 3: to boo cal you are the coach of Saint John's Rick.
Speaker 3: But it's he he's trying to get back and play
Speaker 3: the old Loisll cards. What do you think that's like
Speaker 3: and what that'll be like in Louisville or wherever the
Speaker 3: game will be.
Speaker 5: It's just funny that there was so much about the
Speaker 5: thirtieth anniversary of the you know, three decades of celebrating
Speaker 5: the ninety six team and all that, and then now
Speaker 5: it's like, oh, yeah, we by the way, we got
Speaker 5: Louisville on the schedule and Kentucky might get an exhibition
Speaker 5: game or something. It just I feel like, you know,
Speaker 5: he plays, he plays to whatever audience is feeding his
Speaker 5: ego at the time, so it's unfortunate. I do wish
Speaker 5: that we could get a Saint John's pairing for that
Speaker 5: thirtieth anniversary. I know that's very important, more so because
Speaker 5: I think that means we will get the denim jerseys
Speaker 5: for that one. But it does just kind of feel
Speaker 5: like he's just, you know, playing to his audiences, and
Speaker 5: you know, I don't. I don't necessarily love that.
Speaker 3: I thought he had too much bad blood with Louisville
Speaker 3: and Adidas to even give them that game. I thought
Speaker 3: it was interesting he scheduled that. I guess pat Kelsey
Speaker 3: has turning everybody around trying to make louis Akael. Even
Speaker 3: Josh had nice things to say. It's getting weird, Zach.
Speaker 3: I missed the old Patino cow days at least how
Speaker 3: the rival was pretty heated back then.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I kind of oddly not. I don't get it twisted.
Speaker 5: I did not.
Speaker 4: I do not like Louisville, but I was and I
Speaker 4: was excited to see them actually have like a real,
Speaker 4: like Division I level basketball team this past season. And
Speaker 4: as much as it is easy to make fun of
Speaker 4: Pat Kelsey, he definitely seems to be like a coach.
Speaker 4: He's got a bunch of guards coming in through the portal.
Speaker 4: But it'll just make it even sweeter when the w
Speaker 4: is hanging up again in December.
Speaker 5: It makes the falls hurt worse for them whenever they
Speaker 5: get that that growing belief, like when the whole number
Speaker 5: ten and the eight people and we're like, what are
Speaker 5: we doing here?
Speaker 4: And then were yesterday?
Speaker 5: They get up here and then they just tank and
Speaker 5: in reality sets in that they are still and always
Speaker 5: and forever will be little brother. It just makes that,
Speaker 5: you know, it's the long term reward that that it's
Speaker 5: very fulfilling.
Speaker 3: Now they're talking a lot of trash online right now.
Speaker 3: I just want to remind them you lost the head
Speaker 3: the head. You're way behind in the eight final a
Speaker 3: peop pole, and you didn't win a tournament game while
Speaker 3: Kentucky made the second weekend. So enjoy your portal commitments.
Speaker 3: They're highly ranked. Good for you, I'm patting you on
Speaker 3: the back, but you're still way beneath the University of
Speaker 3: Kentucky and you're still not back.
Speaker 4: I watched that Creighton team slice them up with my
Speaker 4: own two eyes from court side, and it was it
Speaker 4: was very fun actually to watch, especially because the whole
Speaker 4: crowd was red.
Speaker 2: Since you were there.
Speaker 3: I heard some reports of lots of l's down on
Speaker 3: the Repparna camera. Did we have the home camera just
Speaker 3: finding UK fans in the crowd.
Speaker 4: It definitely happened several times. Actually it was children adults
Speaker 4: like it was. It didn't matter who was on there.
Speaker 4: If the el's were going down, it was clearly a Repperena,
Speaker 4: you know, Kentucky fan operating the JumboTron there. But yeah,
Speaker 4: it happened several times down the stretch there when it
Speaker 4: was obvious that Louisville was going to lose that one.
Speaker 2: Was it you?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 2: Did you get punched? I?
Speaker 4: No, not in my stern. No, I avoided some punches
Speaker 4: that time.
Speaker 3: Kentucky had some scheduling news. Billy and I mentioned it
Speaker 3: on Monday, adding Bellerman, but what games are you most
Speaker 3: excited about?
Speaker 2: Next year?
Speaker 3: We got Champions Class in New York again against Michigan State.
Speaker 3: CBS Classic hasn't been announced location yet, could be Vegas
Speaker 3: could be Atlanta, Gonzaga and Nashville.
Speaker 2: Got Indiana coming to rup.
Speaker 3: You go to Louisville, well know, an acc SEC challenge
Speaker 3: opponent eventually, Jack, you go to most of these, if
Speaker 3: not all of them.
Speaker 2: Which one do you have circled for both location and
Speaker 2: for opponent.
Speaker 5: I think just for the freshness and the newness. I
Speaker 5: think Indiana just getting that back, and you know, there's
Speaker 5: so I feel like there's just been so much drama
Speaker 5: about the scheduling of this and all they're scared of us.
Speaker 5: They don't want to play us again, and it's like, well,
Speaker 5: you actually don't think about you. So it's not necessarily
Speaker 5: that we don't want to, it's just that you don't
Speaker 5: matter enough for us to care to put you on
Speaker 5: the schedule. So I do I'm excited to just kind
Speaker 5: of just rip that band aid off and say all right, yeah,
Speaker 5: let's just beat them down and you know, make them
Speaker 5: remember why they have been irrelevant for so long and
Speaker 5: just kind of you know, get keep keep the train
Speaker 5: rolling down the track.
Speaker 4: You got one your eye in Zach Well, I do
Speaker 4: like the Indiana one just because it's kind of renewing
Speaker 4: the whole rivalry of that, and it feels different because
Speaker 4: the not playing Indiana was kind of a cal thing
Speaker 4: and I've got pope and then Indiana has a no
Speaker 4: new coach as well, a coach that actually seems semi competence,
Speaker 4: so they should have like a pretty decent team going forward.
Speaker 4: But I think the good Zaga and Nashville game will
Speaker 4: be really fun. That's just another excuse for fans to
Speaker 4: go down to Nashville and really take over that city
Speaker 4: as well. And hopefull I'm sure Gonzaga will have another
Speaker 4: top twenty five team as well coming in, so.
Speaker 3: I'm fired up for that one. Already bought my tickets.
Speaker 3: We have a group of eight. We tried to get
Speaker 3: behind the bench, and we did, but after we bought them,
Speaker 3: it looks like we're behind the Gonzago bench. So Mark
Speaker 3: fu is gonna know I'm there before we take a break.
Speaker 3: Like Marshall's wife, that's right, I will be her in
Speaker 3: that game. Let me tell you about Court BBN. Spring

Speaker 3: Let's not got some calls, Rick, We've been making them.
Speaker 2: Wait, we got a few more. Let's just go. Who's
Speaker 2: up next? Got radio Roon up now? Oh my god,
Speaker 2: Radio Ron? Thanks for calling in. What's up?
Speaker 8: Good morning, Drew. I'm delighted to talk to you because
Speaker 8: you and I go a ways back, don't we?
Speaker 5: Oh? We do?
Speaker 8: Well. You were the first to interview me to be
Speaker 8: a part of the KSR family, Although it was for
Speaker 8: a slot on KStV.
Speaker 3: The year was twenty eleven, so it's been about fourteen
Speaker 3: years since you and I talked about Montgomery Cliff in
Speaker 3: your your actual shops.
Speaker 8: That's right. Well, because of your skill at interviewing, I
Speaker 8: got a slot on KAZ TV and it's now on
Speaker 8: YouTube called Radio Ron's Reflection, So be sure to tell
Speaker 8: all your young colleagues there to check it out.
Speaker 2: You just told them.
Speaker 3: I even made the graphic for Radio Ron's Reflections on TV.
Speaker 3: So I was just the platform to help you get there.
Speaker 3: I just stuck a mic in your face and your talent.
Speaker 2: Really sean.
Speaker 8: One more quick thing, Drew. I would wait as long
Speaker 8: as they're still alive. Nobody goes back farther than I do.
Speaker 8: Being a rabid UK fan as a ten year old
Speaker 8: boy in nineteen forty four, my father introduced me to
Speaker 8: Kentucky basketball. That's eighty years ago. I am now ninety
Speaker 8: and fit is a fiddle, But I'll never forget that
Speaker 8: one night we were listening to Alex Closer on the
Speaker 8: Fabulous Five for years to come. In nineteen forty eight
Speaker 8: forty nine, as you know, they won national championships and
Speaker 8: again in fifty one, so I thought they won every year.
Speaker 8: But I'll never forget being a UK basketball fan at
Speaker 8: the tender age of ten years old.
Speaker 3: I should have had you on Monday when we were
Speaker 3: recapping the National Championships. Is that your favorite or do
Speaker 3: you have a favorite team since then?
Speaker 8: Well, I think the most exciting year for me, Drew,
Speaker 8: was nineteen sixty six. I was a WBLK and I
Speaker 8: helped Claude Sullivan with stats. He and Kwood Ledford were
Speaker 8: the play by play announcers. And what a joy it
Speaker 8: was to see pat Riley and Louis Dampier and fed
Speaker 8: Jailus Tommy Kron that crew. I couldn't I cried that
Speaker 8: night when they lost to Texas Western, of course, but
Speaker 8: I'll never forget that year. But you know what, Drew,
Speaker 8: I am so pumped to know that Mark Pope is
Speaker 8: at the Helm after all those great victories this year,
Speaker 8: over the top fifteen clubs in the country and going
Speaker 8: to the Sweet sixteenth. I couldn't be more excited.
Speaker 3: Love to hear it. We appreciate you calling in, Ron.
Speaker 3: It's always good to hear from you. Ron's seen a
Speaker 3: lot of wins. Ron's even got a lot of his
Speaker 3: own wins and all his track and field a Vincy does.
Speaker 3: Ron one of our favorite callers. And we go way back,
Speaker 3: so it's good to hear from you.
Speaker 2: Ron.
Speaker 8: Thank you, Drew.
Speaker 6: Thanks Rick.
Speaker 2: Who's up next?
Speaker 8: Got Doug up next?
Speaker 2: Doug? Thanks for calling in. Hey, good morning Romeo, oh,
Speaker 2: Jack and Zach.
Speaker 5: How you guys?
Speaker 3: Hey, I'm count Paris. I'm not good enough to be Romeo.
Speaker 2: But thank you.
Speaker 7: Hey.
Speaker 2: I recently retired and been a fan of the show
Speaker 2: for twenty years.
Speaker 8: First time listening live and first time calling caller.
Speaker 2: Who wo yeah, look at Zacher here live in Ohio.
Speaker 8: My brother Steve went to Kentucky Brainwash.
Speaker 2: Kids Chris and Jason, and I have two kids, Adam
Speaker 2: and Eric. Finn fans for a long time.
Speaker 8: Drew, you talked about the Wolf kids from Michigan, and
Speaker 8: I'm Ohio guy, and I.
Speaker 5: Don't like Michigan, but I like his game. Did we
Speaker 5: ever hear is he gonna go into the portal?
Speaker 8: Really enjoyed watching his game.
Speaker 2: Thank you. I appreciate the call.
Speaker 3: I was a big Danny Wolf fan all season, even
Speaker 3: though when I finally gathered the KSR guys around the
Speaker 3: TV to watch Michigan in the NCAA tournament while we
Speaker 3: were in Milwaukee at our airbnb, I kept saying here
Speaker 3: he comes, get ready for Danny Wolf. And he did
Speaker 3: not play well at all, So those guys made fun
Speaker 3: of me. He's not an option for Kentucky. I think
Speaker 3: he's even probably heading to the NBA. I haven't followed
Speaker 3: the news there, but he's projected first round pick. Michigan's
Speaker 3: talking about replacing him, So I expect that my guy,
Speaker 3: Danny Wolf will be in the draft. Speaking speaking of
Speaker 3: the draft, Zach, he wrote yesterday a little recap of
Speaker 3: some mock drafts. And you know, we've thought all year,
Speaker 3: might get a guy into the draft.
Speaker 2: Probably not, but.
Speaker 3: Uh, Kobe Brea got a projection in the ESPN's mock
Speaker 3: draft yesterday.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Uh, Jonathan Dravoni Givoni Givoni Givoni had him fifty
Speaker 4: fourth to the Indiana Pacers, so an actual nearby team.
Speaker 4: You can't watch him here in Lexington though, because that
Speaker 4: would be Yeah, the NBA doesn't want you to watch
Speaker 4: your local teams. But yeah, Kobe Brad fifty fourth to
Speaker 4: the Pacers. I think he's probably the one guy on
Speaker 4: the roster that you think actually can make the you know,
Speaker 4: can get drafted out of this group. Lamont Butler might
Speaker 4: have been in that group, say with Jackson Robinson, had
Speaker 4: it not been for all those injuries, and then if
Speaker 4: Mary Williams could have shot a three and made a three,
Speaker 4: he'd be like a top ten pick. If, for being honest,
Speaker 4: he make he did make a three, he was like
Speaker 4: a fade away three as well. I think that's maybe
Speaker 4: Tennessee and then shot one like a minute later in airbaulted.
Speaker 4: But Kobe Bray has really developed pretty well throughout the
Speaker 4: whole season, just from the start of the season to
Speaker 4: the end, I think he might have developed the most
Speaker 4: of anyone on the roster. You know, Taka kind of
Speaker 4: had his breakout in the off season, and Amari was
Speaker 4: good all season, Say would you call it Colin Chandler,
Speaker 4: But Kobe Braya really proved that he can be a
Speaker 4: six foot seven scoring or you know, sharp shooting wing
Speaker 4: in the NBA, and that's kind of all they're looking for.
Speaker 4: Really got up to his playmaking and defensive skills along
Speaker 4: the season as well, So I could see him hearing
Speaker 4: his name called. I would be shocked if there's more
Speaker 4: than one guy that here's his name called on draft night.
Speaker 4: Two draft nights now they do it two different nights.
Speaker 4: But I think Kobe's a He's got a chance to
Speaker 4: make a nice little NBA career for himself, at least
Speaker 4: for a couple of years.
Speaker 5: I think in those second late second round picks, who
Speaker 5: just gets so wild and wacky, like you get you
Speaker 5: know European guys that stay overseas for a year or two,
Speaker 5: like they just it's all over the place. So is
Speaker 5: there a scenario where a team says, you know what,
Speaker 5: I think there's a diamond in the rough there with Williams,
Speaker 5: and I don't want anybody to take him as a
Speaker 5: you know, two way guy. I want to claim him
Speaker 5: in the draft. Jackson Robinson was a you know, very
Speaker 5: clear and obvious second round pick the last cycle. Do
Speaker 5: they view him in the same way and say, hey,
Speaker 5: we can kind of buy low on him right now?
Speaker 5: Similar vibe. It's just the second round is so weird.
Speaker 5: But I hope that you know, Pope gets to see
Speaker 5: some draft success and just kind of keep that momentum
Speaker 5: moving forward, because I do think next year is going
Speaker 5: to be a pretty impressive draft draft cycle for him.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you put a a MARII does some good interviews,
Speaker 4: you know, those pre draft interviews. That apparently, you know,
Speaker 4: matter way too much. He kills those. Maybe he sticks
Speaker 4: in the back end there as well, So that'd be
Speaker 4: really cool to see him. He's it's no secret to
Speaker 4: Mario's my favorite player this year, so I'd love to
Speaker 4: see him get drafted.
Speaker 3: It sucked to see Jackson Robinson get hurt, obviously, but
Speaker 3: Braya took a big jump once he kind of took.
Speaker 3: I think that's a big reason why he's Uh. He's
Speaker 3: being projected now as a draft pick because he showed
Speaker 3: a lot most of the year. You know, you knew
Speaker 3: him as a sharpshooter, but he showed an all around
Speaker 3: game once he stepped into a bigger role and knew
Speaker 3: he had to be the guy with Robinson out.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: Speaking the NBA, I know you're a big NBA game.
Speaker 3: Congrats to your Cleveland Calves.
Speaker 4: Don't say that very often they're not here.
Speaker 2: I just meet in general for what they've done so far,
Speaker 2: I'm not.
Speaker 5: Going to be second in the East to going to
Speaker 5: the finals.
Speaker 4: Walking Grant's standings would indicate a ten game gap between
Speaker 4: my team and whatever jack Builder.
Speaker 3: It just hit me, I got a diehard Celtics fan
Speaker 3: here in a diehard Cabs fan.
Speaker 7: Here.
Speaker 5: There's one national champion right now playing games, and it
Speaker 5: is the Boston World World Champion, Boston Celtics. I don't
Speaker 5: know what we're what. We're congratulating the Cleveland Cavaliers for
Speaker 5: and you're wearing a Patriots shirt.
Speaker 4: This guy loves New England.
Speaker 5: What were you born? Louisville, Kentucky?
Speaker 4: Just big Boston, big tea party guy bound the Celtics
Speaker 4: and it changes.
Speaker 5: This whole life?
Speaker 2: Is that where it started?
Speaker 5: Rondo? Rondo changed my life.
Speaker 3: You're one of those Tom Brady people that just chasing
Speaker 3: the front runner. Some of us Titans fans just see
Speaker 3: a team suck every year and we live with it.
Speaker 3: You're picking the ones that keep winning. But on the
Speaker 3: NBA news, what the hell are the Denver Nuggets doing?
Speaker 3: They fired their coach yesterday. They're currently fourth in the
Speaker 3: West and the playoffs are about to start and they
Speaker 3: let them go.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't.
Speaker 3: I'm not one they consider here and break down the
Speaker 3: NBA with you. You all thought most much closer than
Speaker 3: I do. But I was shocked to see the Nuggets
Speaker 3: fire gout at this point the season for a team
Speaker 3: that's still in the mix the texts.
Speaker 5: I got one twenty six immediately after the Shams bomb. No,
Speaker 5: what are the nuggets stupid? From our very own Zach Gega.
Speaker 4: Yeah, just it was very odd timing because I know
Speaker 4: that the West is really bunched up right now from
Speaker 4: like spots three through eight, so they could easily like
Speaker 4: kind of fall out of the playoffs and maybe get
Speaker 4: in the play in So but it is an interesting
Speaker 4: decision because Michael Loon's a pretty good coach and they
Speaker 4: have arguably the best player in the world right now,
Speaker 4: and a lot of it just felt like they didn't
Speaker 4: put a good team around Yokic and that's why they're struggling,
Speaker 4: and they just had to find there, you know, they
Speaker 4: had to find the the scapegoat, if you will. So
Speaker 4: they'd fired both the coach and the GM a week
Speaker 4: or two before the playoffs. I will never understand it,
Speaker 4: but it sounds like there was a lot of infighting
Speaker 4: with the locker room and Michael Malone went on. He
Speaker 4: said in a press come to the other day that all
Speaker 4: his players weren't watching film, so that's usually and then
Speaker 4: a day later he was fired. So there's probably a
Speaker 4: lot of those things are probably connected, but you know,
Speaker 4: after the Luca trade, I just everything is. Everything's on
Speaker 4: the table now, like nothing will surprise me anymore.
Speaker 2: Your Celtics last night won.
Speaker 3: But Cat had a big game, Carl thirty four points,
Speaker 3: fourteen rebounds. Cat's gonna be all NBA this year. Yeah,
Speaker 3: our boy Towns. It's working out for him with the Knicks,
Speaker 3: even though you all got them in overtime last night.
Speaker 5: Christops Porzingis was the storyline in that one.
Speaker 4: That's the old Did they get hurt again?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 5: He absolutely dominated his old team. It was beautiful thirty two.
Speaker 5: I think they're about to show it in the ticker,
Speaker 5: right or are they just going to pass over at whatever? Yeah,
Speaker 5: Christaps Porzingis was the real storyline. I love Cat, but
Speaker 5: sorry zing God.
Speaker 3: Looking at the ticker on our big TV here at Ksbar,
Speaker 3: it's Wingsday, by the way, I'm hanging around for some
Speaker 3: Wings Day, maybe that Masters player. But looking at the
Speaker 3: ticker in those NBA scores, completely ignore those because to
Speaker 3: the far right it says Wednesday at the Masters. I
Speaker 3: know you all are golf guys.
Speaker 2: But this is the best week of the year, right,
Speaker 2: Do you even do you care at all? I do
Speaker 2: you tune in? Do you like the birds chirping? Or
Speaker 2: you just you just dismiss it.
Speaker 5: It's like the the YouTube TV zen thing. It's it's
Speaker 5: just that on a constant loop for me. I love it. No,
Speaker 5: I love the masters.
Speaker 4: Who's the guy that does it? The is it nance? Yeah,
Speaker 4: he's retiring, by the way, Yeah, in like a decade.
Speaker 4: I saw that eleven years from now.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I do.
Speaker 4: I do enjoy listening to him call that type of stuff. So,
Speaker 4: but I'm not a big golfer, so I don't think
Speaker 4: I've actually regularly golf since middle school. But I will
Speaker 4: say I'm gonna I actually just learned yesterday. I'm going
Speaker 4: to Florida next month and I will be golfing for
Speaker 4: a day, so I need to. I'm getting a rental
Speaker 4: club and everything, so I need to.
Speaker 5: I'll have to.
Speaker 4: Me and Jack will have to hit up the old
Speaker 4: top golf so I can get myself in line again.
Speaker 4: Jack's back is probably still broken from the last time
Speaker 4: we played.
Speaker 3: If I can give you advice, I would get rental clubs,
Speaker 3: not a club. If you're only getting one, I think
Speaker 3: it might be a long day.
Speaker 4: I'm thinking just the seven iron and that's okay.
Speaker 5: I'm running.
Speaker 3: If there's one, you're just gonna play it. I've played
Speaker 3: some rounds with just a seven iron having fun. If
Speaker 3: there I guess that's not the worst to pick. We're
Speaker 3: gonna take our last break. When we come back. We'll
Speaker 3: finish up with these guys and maybe even do a
Speaker 3: rapid reaction.
Speaker 2: To our own radio show. We'll see how this goes.
Speaker 2: But uh, Drew, Zach and Jack, We'll be right back.
Speaker 3: Welcome back into one last segment of Day three of

Speaker 7: Here.
Speaker 3: We had Keeenlan a rare Monday Tuesday at Kenland. None
Speaker 3: of us were able to go. But yesterday Burnham square
Speaker 3: punched his ticket to the Kentucky Derby. Out there and
Speaker 3: tomorrow there's a horse named Kobe brea oh running. I
Speaker 3: need to figure out exactly what race that is, but
Speaker 3: if you partake in the Keenlan experience, be looking out
Speaker 3: for Kobe Brean running tomorrow.
Speaker 5: Third race. I'm guessing the King of Three.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it is a horse named Kobe.
Speaker 3: Kobe is not out there actually doing it, but I
Speaker 3: can only imagine anytime you're out there, that'd be fun
Speaker 3: to watch.
Speaker 2: But if there's a horse, if you get your program
Speaker 2: at Kentland and.
Speaker 3: There's a big blue horse or a go cat horse,
Speaker 3: the odds go crazy.
Speaker 2: You can just we're Kentucky fans. We're crazy. We can't
Speaker 2: help ourselves.
Speaker 3: Throw off all the stats metrics that you're betting by name,
Speaker 3: and if there's a Kobe Bray out there tomorrow, I
Speaker 3: bet there's gonna be a lot of money on Kobe brand.
Speaker 5: It's a good marketing idea. You know, if you even
Speaker 5: if you just if you know you have a dut
Speaker 5: of a horse like you know, at worst you can
Speaker 5: you can name it something creative and get Bbing involved
Speaker 5: to you know, add some intrigue, even if you know
Speaker 5: it's not gonna win the race.
Speaker 3: I can't sneak out there tomorrow. We'll be watching that
Speaker 3: one Tomorrow. I'm back at Chaos Bar and Grill for
Speaker 3: one more time this week. I think I have to
Speaker 3: be in studio Friday, still figuring that out. But tomorrow
Speaker 3: I will be here in the same seat, finally gonna
Speaker 3: let Jack Pilgrim live his life without bringing him in
Speaker 3: Jacket's been fun having you for two days, especially yesterday
Speaker 3: that was an all timer, Zach. It's been good in
Speaker 3: having you today making your debut. But tomorrow we're gonna
Speaker 3: change gears and we're gonna get excited about spring football.
Speaker 3: I know everyone out there is fired up about Kentucky
Speaker 3: football right now.
Speaker 5: Can we just keep another two hours and keep this
Speaker 5: role that I'm dying to hear about it.
Speaker 3: I know you're excited about football. You're big football guys,
Speaker 3: people know on Twitter. But Lucket's gonna join me. No
Speaker 3: one knows as much about Kentucky football as Adam Luckett.
Speaker 3: Mark Stoops doesn't even know as much as Adam Luckett.
Speaker 3: But he's gonna make the trip to Lexington. I think
Speaker 3: he's over right now, actually maybe hearing from bush Hampton
Speaker 3: as we speak. But Luckett will join me. I think
Speaker 3: Billy's gonna pop back on. But we'll still stay on
Speaker 3: top of the portal movement and all the things that
Speaker 3: during these busy times for Kentucky basketball. But today or
Speaker 3: tomorrow we will focus heavily on what's happening.
Speaker 2: Over there with the Cats. I feel like we haven't
Speaker 2: talked about him much at all. They're being pretty quiet.
Speaker 4: Just got a big commitment from a twenty twenty seven
Speaker 4: quarterback JA Hunter.
Speaker 2: DJ Hunter.
Speaker 4: He's a Lexington native. I believe as well.
Speaker 2: Look at that, look at you already breaking it. Maybe
Speaker 2: you should do the football show.
Speaker 4: No, no, luck it would be much much better than
Speaker 4: I would.
Speaker 2: No, I'm excited to have a look.
Speaker 5: You guys are both very complimentary.
Speaker 4: I know what's going on in the recruiting scene. That
Speaker 4: that would be my expertise there.
Speaker 3: If I may brag on my KSR slash on three colleagues. Sure,
Speaker 3: we all have our titles. You guys are the basketball
Speaker 3: beat Riders, but everyone knows a lot about everything. Like Lucket,
Speaker 3: he'll be all break down the portal if he needs to.
Speaker 3: You all know football pretty well. Sometimes we gotta write
Speaker 3: stories about soccer baseball. You know, you can't do this
Speaker 3: job without being tuned to BBN. And both of you
Speaker 3: do a great job. Shout out your podcast and everything
Speaker 3: you got going on.
Speaker 5: Sources a podcast, We have a good time. I think
Speaker 5: we're gonna try to do one today. Obviously there's lots
Speaker 5: to talk about and a lot of moving parts, so
Speaker 5: we would been a minute to We got to catch
Speaker 5: up on some very new Newsy things.
Speaker 4: Ye we do zoom Action with Steven Peak producing. Myself
Speaker 4: and Brandon Ramsey are on the screen and it's just
Speaker 4: a film breakdown show on YouTube. It's we don't do
Speaker 4: a podcast for it. It's mostly a visual thing. But
Speaker 4: we've actually already been talking about once once the portal
Speaker 4: class is kind of all put together, we're gonna do
Speaker 4: some some breakdowns and film breakdowns of all the guys.
Speaker 4: Brain has actually been doing stuff on the YouTube channel already,
Speaker 4: like individual player breakdowns, but we'll do more in depth
Speaker 4: stuff on how they'll fit with Kentucky over the next
Speaker 4: couple of weeks months, things like that, he drew.
Speaker 5: I feel like we have been attacked. We're under attack
Speaker 5: on a national level right now. What's on social media?
Speaker 5: Have you seen the controversy with the Florida student reporter
Speaker 5: and her pot a little bit, yes, essentially cheering. I
Speaker 5: heard Maggie talking about it with Billy this.
Speaker 4: We actually do have some takes on that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, go ahead. We were short on Tom, but a.
