36
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 4: just had had a long week of trying to be

37
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 4: with friends and family, and I know that put a

38
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 4: lot more on your all's plate. But you all knew, Manny,

39
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 4: we lost a good one.

40
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

41
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 4: I mean, I like to say he's I was the

42
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 4: best friend. But that was the thing about Manny. I

43
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 4: think about everyone in that church thought they were a

44
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 4: best friend because that's what he did. And heck, the

45
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 4: turnout was huge. The police told us it's one of

46
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 4: the longest funeral processions they've ever seen. They did him

47
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 4: have enough cars, Thank you to them. They were having

48
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 4: to fly to go get up to the front and

49
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 4: how they do that. But we uh we uh laid

50
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 4: Manny to rest on Saturday to the little lap around Rapperena,

51
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 4: which is very many. Yeah, very no. Yeah, I'm all

52
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 4: out of tears. It's good to get back to the grind,

53
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 4: but yeah, I'm gonna be missing him forever.

54
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,679
Speaker 3: Well, your your tribute you put on Instagram that was

55
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 3: then also on Facebook was awesome. You summed up what

56
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 3: everybody feels. Everybody wishes they had a friend like Manny,

57
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 3: and like you said, he was that friend to everybody.

58
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 4: Everybody thought they were his best friends. That nice of

59
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 4: a guy. But I mean you all knew him too,

60
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 4: not nearly as close as me. I I talked to

61
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 4: him daily. But I mean, you've got plenty of Manny memories.

62
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 4: I'm going through photos and I have several that you're

63
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 4: in including for those that don't really know much about Manny.

64
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 4: Back in the day when Ryan would do the wild

65
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 4: Cat and re Parena. He would always go get him

66
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 4: fired up, Manny over in his seat. So I have

67
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 4: several videos you two Wildcat and tin roof at SEC

68
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 4: and other stuff, but a Big Blue Nation lost one.

69
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 3: Of it's lost a good one. You know. I was

70
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 3: looking through my phone for some pictures and the one

71
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 3: I have just I found one picture of Manny and

72
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 3: it's him wearing a fireball bottle at Halloween.

73
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 4: He did like his fireball. That was one of his favorites.

74
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 4: And I will say might have had a few of

75
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 4: those in the last six days as we were celebrating

76
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 4: in morning Manny's life.

77
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 3: Well, you I saw the one picture he's not posted,

78
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 3: but you sent us a picture of when you're giving

79
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 3: the eulogy and behind you is Aaron Fleener belly laughing.

80
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 3: You obviously said something funny and that was kind of

81
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 3: refreshing to see that. You guys remembering Manny that way,

82
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 3: you know, every telling the funny stories and getting a

83
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 3: good laugh out of everything.

84
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, his family asked me to speak, and you know,

85
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 4: hope I never have to do that again, at least

86
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 4: not for another fifty years. That's honestly the hardest thing

87
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 4: I've ever done in my life. But when it's your

88
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 4: best friend, you don't just sit up there and you know,

89
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 4: cry and this and that. I got a few jokes in,

90
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 4: so there were some smiles, and that he would have

91
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 4: done the same thing, absolutely and I would expect it.

92
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 4: But that actually helped keep me grounded, you know, because

93
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 4: right when you feel that lump in your throat, you know,

94
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 4: got a little bit in there poking fun at him

95
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 4: too and sharing some fun memory. So that was insanely

96
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 4: difficult to do, but it was an honor and I'm

97
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 4: glad they asked me.

98
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 3: Everybody knew Manny. I mean he was you know, he

99
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 3: loved his Kentucky Wildcats, and if he wasn't watching the

100
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 3: Kentucky Wildcats, he was spearheading a party to watch the

101
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 3: game somewhere. We called him your ride or die on

102
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 3: the show because I know he was that way. But

103
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 3: you know, he was a roommate with Abby before you

104
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 3: guys got married, Oh he did.

105
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, so she's just as close as That's why it's

106
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 4: been so hard. I mean, it's not like what we

107
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 4: both need to lean on someone leaning on each other

108
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 4: there because we were both so close to him.

109
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 3: Well, our thoughts and prayers to you and your family. Scottie,

110
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 3: his brother, his mother.

111
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 4: Connie, Stacey, nieces, Molly, and Mea. I will say one thing.

112
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 4: It's cliche about hug your friends and all that, but

113
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 4: the day before we lost him, he texted me completely

114
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 4: out of the blue, said, hey, can you come pick

115
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 4: me up up? We'll hang out for a couple of

116
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 4: hours before you go to work. I mean it was

117
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 4: just random. I we hang out all the time, but

118
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 4: that was kind of We didn't say anything. I was like, yeah, man,

119
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 4: let's absolutely do that. And then a few hours later

120
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 4: that was what it was. But just now, anytime you

121
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 4: have those opportunities, I know you hate these reminders that

122
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 4: you have to have that, but all of you out there, friends, family, whatever,

123
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 4: stay close and love your people.

124
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 3: We said that when we talked about on Monday. When

125
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 3: on Tuesday, I guess when you weren't there, man, he

126
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 3: was me and we're not supposed to show our emotion,

127
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 3: not supposed to cry. But you why why can't you

128
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 3: tell your buddy you love them?

129
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 4: Yeah? You know you miss them absolutely. And then to

130
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 4: get light hearted again last night, I'm like, all right,

131

Speaker 3: Man.

145
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 4: He was a big listener. I actually had his phone.

146
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 4: I was doing the playlist for his party. That was

147
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 4: one of my assignments, and I thought, instead of me

148
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 4: trying to come up with songs, I'll just go to

149
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,640

158
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 3: enjoys looking down on us and continue to watch Kentucky

159
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 3: Wildcats and enjoying live.

160
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 4: So he'd want us to start having some fun.

161
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 3: Yeah he would. All right, welcome back. We mentioned you

162
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 3: thome back. We are live on the road. We're doing

163
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 3: a pop up show today and we are uh, you know, Drew.

164
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 3: If there's one section of our fan base that feels

165
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 3: left out, feels ignored, what is it?

166
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 4: Uh, I don't know what is it.

167
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 3: It's northern Kentucky.

168
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yes, this area specifically.

169
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 3: Yes, Well, so what are the three counties? Kenton County,

170
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 3: Boone County, Campbell County.

171
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 4: A couple of them have like multiple county seats, which

172
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 4: is weird how they get away with that.

173
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 3: I mean, there's like twenty five high schools up here.

174
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 3: We probably couldn't even name half of them. But they

175
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 3: kind of feel like I think the UK fans kind

176
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 3: of feel like they get left out. So we're up here.

177
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 3: We're in northern Kentucky, but that's not the reason we're here.

178
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 3: We're also at Fort Thomas Highland's High School, where they've

179
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,239
Speaker 3: produced such UK superstars as Marty Moore, Jared Lorenzen, Derreck Smith,

180
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 3: whom I met with John Schlarman.

181
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 4: Oh, I just did a lap through the Hall of

182
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 4: Fame that they gave me here before the show. I mean,

183
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 4: we could do a whole show just on the Hollands

184
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame. You could do a whole show just

185
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 4: on Schlarman's which there was like six of them back there.

186
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 3: That's very true. And Willie Rodriguez playing now, but that's

187
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 3: not the reason we're here. We're here because they are

188
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 3: right now on the current Fort Thomas Hihland's football team

189
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 3: as a young man that is uh tearing it up.

190
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 3: He's having a great season and he's like, last name

191
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 3: just happens to be Lorenzen, Tayden Lorenzen that we knew

192
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 3: is little Tadan. He ain't little anymore.

193
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 4: No what numbers you wear out here?

194
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 3: I bet he wears number twenty two. So he's gonna

195
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 3: join us. You know, they gotta go to class up here,

196
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 3: you know. Yeah, not like some of these other schools

197
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 3: you can skip class. They have to stay in class.

198
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 4: Jared big class guy too. He had perfect stendants.

199
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 3: So at ten forty five, Tayden is gonna have a

200
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 3: break in the classes that he's gonna come out and

201
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 3: join us. And I'm super excited about just kind of

202
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 3: talk to him and catch up with him a little

203
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 3: bit because he's having a really good season.

204
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 4: He is. I saw had a game winning touchdown recently.

205
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 4: And I'm joking he does wear the number twenty two.

206
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 4: I mean it's it's kind of eerie singing the pictures

207
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 4: of him, yeah, because and I hadn't. I haven't seen

208
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 4: him in person in a long time. He was a

209
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 4: little kid back then, but he looks so much like

210
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 4: Jared anyway. And now to be wearing the Hollands jersey

211
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 4: out there just mowing over people, Uh, it's pretty special

212
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 4: to watch. Well.

213
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 3: He had the game winning two point conversion against the

214
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 3: Frederick Douglas Broncos and a season opener a game after that,

215
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 3: I think he had three touchdowns in a game. Uh.

216
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 3: He's they just beat was a ryalt a big game.

217
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 3: So uh so I'm excited about it. I haven't seen

218
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 3: I haven't seen Taty in a couple of years, but

219
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 3: I know I've seen pictures and he's he ain't little

220
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 3: Taitan anymore. He's a man now, he's a man child.

221
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 4: You have a few pictures with him on my phone

222
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 4: when he's a little bitty, I mean like tiny where

223
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 4: he was Jared and then I have their I think

224
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 4: it was a Super Bowl commercial UK had him stand

225
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:24,359
Speaker 4: in front of the Jared.

226
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 3: Oh, yes, that's right.

227
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 4: But it's just just kid now. Now he's big time,

228
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 4: big high school football star getting recruited. We'll hear a

229
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 4: lot about that.

230
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 3: So it's uh, you know, it's it's game week. We

231
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 3: gotta get into the football game. Got a little basketball

232
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 3: intel we want to get to as well. But we're

233
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 3: live out here at Fort Thomas Highlands High School. We

234
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 3: tried to go get set up inside the school. We

235
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 3: went to their TV studio they have. They have a

236
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 3: goodest TV studio as most colleges. I mean, it's really

237
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 3: nice in there, but we've had problems getting connected when

238
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 3: we're inside a school building in the past. I guess

239
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 3: it's the firewall or something and it prevents usro getting conected.

240
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 4: It's if it's not the metal roof on the new schools,

241
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 4: it's the new technology, which they need. You want your

242
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 4: schools to be secure, but you can't even get a

243
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 4: radio show in a lot of them.

244
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 3: So Andy Raker and the boys Wes Collin Will pulled

245
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 3: the table out and we're sitting on the sidewalk in

246
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 3: front of Fort Thomas Island's High School, set up the equipment,

247
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 3: ready to do the show today, to talk to Tayt

248
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 3: and Lorenzen. I mean, what more ks are is that

249
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 3: we're out here on the sidewalk and it's drizzling rain

250
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 3: a little bit, but more ready to go. Yeah.

251
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 4: I walk in and uh, I thought you were already

252
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 4: gonna be set up because you left a little bit

253
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 4: before me to get set up. And I see you

254
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 4: rolling the equipment down the hallway walking fast, and then

255
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 4: immediately thought, oh, that's not a good sign. Oh but

256
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 4: I think we're connected pretty great, right, Shannon. Everything's sounding good. Yeah, Yeah,

257
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 4: we're good. Everything's gonna be a fun one. I like

258
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 4: the outdoor shows.

259
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 3: I do too. Yeah, kind of give all, especially since

260
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 3: like today I think it's the official first day of fall.

261
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 3: I mean, we're now officially getting the falling football season.

262
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 3: So we'll take your calls as well throughout the show.

270
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 3: Got back from Nebraska. I walked into my house at

271
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 3: three o'clock in the morning last night, so it's been

272

274
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 3: This is Kentucky's Ports Radio. It is a manic Monday.

275
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 3: Welcome back, Ryan Drew and Shannon Here Kentucky Sports Radio

276
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 3: live at Fort Thomas Highlands High School up here in

277
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 3: Fort Thomas, Kentucky.

278
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 4: Uh.

279
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 3: You know what, and it's it. You came back to

280
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 3: the perfect time, Drew, because this game week, you know,

281
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 3: bye week. Kentucky football survived by week no no losses,

282
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 3: didn't play bad. But now it's game week and they're

283
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 3: going to South Carolina, who just lost for the second

284
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 3: game in a row. Vanderbilt embarrassed them, then they lost

285
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 3: to Missouri. Their quarterback Leonora's Sellers did play against Missouri

286
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 3: through for like three hundred yards. But South Carolina just

287
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 3: could not run the football. They just they couldn't run

288
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 3: the football and they couldn't stop the run. I don't know, Drew,

289
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 3: do we dare dream a little bit we can go

290
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 3: down there to South Caroline and get the W I've

291
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 3: never got.

292
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 4: Off as impossible. I think they'll be in the game.

293
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 4: You know, I'm probably gonna pick South Carolina to win

294
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 4: it on Friday, But if Kentucky goes down there and

295
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 4: gets a win, not any part of me will be surprised,

296
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 4: even though the series has flipped their way recently. Just

297
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 4: I did last night and catching up on everything because

298
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 4: I was completely off the grid. I was on KSR.

299
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 4: We had Shane Beemer's postgame comments and he was just

300
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 4: talking about kind of what a wreck they're in after

301
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 4: losing that game. But I just still feel like they're

302
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 4: a little better than what we've seen. I don't think

303
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 4: the sky is completely fallen, but in their eyes, these

304
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 4: were the games they needed to win because they still

305
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 4: have like five ranked opponents yet, so they're left so

306
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 4: they're going to be locked in on Saturday. Kentucky I

307
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 4: think can hang with them as long as you know,

308
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 4: we'll see how that offense looks. But I think with

309
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 4: Seth McGowan and the way they've been running, maybe we

310
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 4: can just lean on that running attack. The offensive line

311
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 4: has been good. I think we'll be in it.

312
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 3: That's the thing is South calin is susceptible to a

313
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 3: good ground game. That's what we do. That's what we

314
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 3: can do. We can win it up front and just

315
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 3: give Da Dall and McGowan the ball, let them go

316
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 3: do their thing.

317
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 4: Well. Madd Hardy at Missouri, I mean I would say

318
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 4: numbers out loud, but I feel like I'm making them up.

319
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 4: But that's what it looked like. When I read, I

320
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 4: forgot we had like three touchdowns, twohundred fifty yards and

321
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 4: a third quarter or something. And he's special and he

322
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 4: was almost a cat. I mean, he came down to

323
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 4: the final the final phase of his recruitment was almost Kentucky,

324
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 4: but he ran all over them. So if you can

325
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 4: get anything close to what he did, then I think

326
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 4: you're gonna be in it.

327
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 3: Cutter. Obviously he'll be the starter, first SEC road start.

328
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 3: You know, he played on the road at Florida, played

329
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,719
Speaker 3: on the road at Texas. That was a coming in

330
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 3: as off the bench. He's going down there as a starter.

331
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 3: Tough place to play. Environment. It will be rocking, the

332
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 3: sandstorm will be ringing and everything. So did you see

333
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 3: anything from Cutter to give you a little more optimism

334
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 3: going down there?

335
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 4: I mean, I liked him, It's just I couldn't get

336
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 4: over the fact that it was Eastern Michigan. Eastern Michigan

337
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 4: had just lost to an FCS school at home. They

338
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 4: lost to Texas. They gave it a fifty something to

339
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 4: Texas State. So I'm glad Cutter got a lot of confidence,

340
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 4: and I'm glad Eastern Michigan was his first start, so

341
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 4: he can go out there and check some cobwebs off

342
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 4: and build the confidence for Columbia. But I wasn't really

343
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 4: forming any strong opinions about how good Kentucky is because

344
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 4: of the opponent. But you know, they didn't they didn't

345
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 4: stink it up against them. I mean, they did what

346
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 4: they needed to do, So let's carry it on, you know,

347
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 4: We're not usually good out of a bye week, traditionally

348
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 4: horrible out of a bye week.

349
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's the what's the stat?

350
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 2: Shannon oh under mark stoops out of a bye week?

351
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 2: There's six and ten and then five and nine going

352
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 2: into SEC play, So not good. But I mean I

353
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 2: feel good to get against South Carolina. I mean, I

354
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 2: feel like it's a very winnable game. South Carolina had

355
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 2: no rushing, I mean basically offense at all against Missouri.

356
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 2: Everything was in the air. So I feel like if

357
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 2: you can contain their passing game and you know, kind

358
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 2: of just shut down their rushing, then I.

359
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 3: Feel like Kentucky can win this game.

360
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 4: And it's it's kind of I'm thinking about last year.

361
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 4: You have the disappointing loss to South Carolina in Week

362
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 4: two at home, first SEC game and embarrassed us. But

363
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 4: then in this exact spot you went and shocked Ole Miss,

364
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 4: a team looking at the playoff kind of Ole Miss.

365
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 4: This year was the South Carolina last year week too,

366
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 4: you lose to them at home in a game that

367
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 4: really could have set the tone. People are kind of

368
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 4: throwing their arms in the air. I'm not gonna lie.

369
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 4: I saw a photo this morning there's a car driver

370
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 4: around Lexton with two big bumper stickers that say fire

371
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 4: Mitch Barnheart and fire Mark Stoops. You know, there's some

372
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 4: very unhappy fans, but we've seen it before. This is

373
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 4: when he might go on the road in surprise you

374
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 4: and go get a big win. So I'm not writing

375
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 4: them off at all.

376
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 3: A lot of times this is whin Stoops is at

377
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 3: his best if you take away the factor coming off

378
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 3: the bye week. Whatever reason, his teams have not played

379
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 3: well coming off of bye week, but he does seem

380
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 3: he's best when there you count him out.

381
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 4: And the defense took a little bit of a step

382
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 4: backwards against Eastern Michigan. I'm gonna I mean, you shouldn't

383
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 4: let up against an opponent like that. I mean that

384
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 4: shouldn't have happened, and they were thinning the secondary. But

385
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna just judge them too much for that

386
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 4: one because they look so good in the first two games,

387
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 4: and I think the defense is still gonna be one

388
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 4: of the better ones Stoops and Brad White have had

389
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 4: if things stay healthy, so I think they're gonna be

390
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 4: able to keep them in games.

391
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 3: You know, their last two losses is Shannon to Missouri

392
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 3: and then Vanderbilt just kind of embarrassed him. After Sellers

393
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 3: got hurt and didn't play, Vanderbilt goes and wins another one.

394
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 3: They're four and oh right now.

395
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 2: The sixteenth or eighteenth, eighteenth, Yeah, in the top four

396
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 2: of the SEC. And now they really haven't played that

397
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 2: tough of a schedule other than South Carolina on the road.

398
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I think that was probably that it is

399
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 2: their best win so far this year. But yeah, I

400
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 2: mean seventy points against Georgia State. I mean, I don't

401
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 2: care who it is, you put up seventy points, that's

402
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 2: pretty impressive.

403
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 4: I thought they'd take a step back this year. I

404
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 4: thought all the other teams would have a summer to

405
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 4: know what Pavy is, be a little more prepared. They

406
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 4: did have that Virginia Tech win, which in hindsight isn't

407
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 4: that big after we saw what Virginia Tech ended up

408
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 4: doing the Shannon's Big Parlay pick a few weeks ago.

409
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 4: But I mean, Vandy, that's one I had Kentucky winning

410
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 4: at the end of the season in Nashville, and now

411
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 4: I'm like, might get the pencil out on that one.

412
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 2: They're averaging like around forty points or better per game.

413
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 3: So you said you put up seventy.

414
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't care who you're playing, no kidding.

415
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 3: Yeah. Now, Leonora Sellers is their quarterback, and when he

416
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 3: got hurt the Vanderbilt game, their offense just was nothing.

417
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 3: Obviously playing at the Missouri he threw for three hundred yards,

418
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 3: but the running game pretty much nothing. You'd think if

419
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 3: knowing that going in, if you can just slow him

420
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 3: down the passing game, Kentucky can their defense could keep

421
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 3: keep the offense, keep them in the game. Yeah.

422
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 4: In Kentucky's defense has done a great job getting turnovers

423
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 4: this year, mostly in the first quarters we've seen they've

424
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 4: intercepted two of the first passes of the game already.

425
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 4: But the reason they've lost so many in a row

426
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 4: to South Carolina is the turnover margin just completely flipped

427
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 4: South Carolina's way. So Kentucky has to get some takeaways

428
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 4: since this game on Sellers if they're gonna have a chance,

429
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 4: which is possible, but that'll that'll be a big factor

430
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 4: in getting this back on the right side.

431
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 3: You know, when Cutter hit the Willie Rodriguez from Fort

432
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 3: Thomas Higlands High School's right the touchdown that was Kentucky's

433
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 3: first passing touchdown of the season, and it came in

434
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 3: Game three. Well, he hit Catash for a touchdown and

435
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:48,959
Speaker 3: he had Bowyer for a touchdown. They could pulled off

436
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 3: the board even had a law for a touchdown. He

437
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 3: could have had four passing touchdowns. That's just an element

438
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 3: that had been missing when Calzado was at the Helm.

439
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 4: And just we all know we're all Kentucky football fans.

440
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 4: Just getting the tight ends involved two weeks ago was

441
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 4: so fun. Even on Rodriguez a touchdown, Boyer was wide

442
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 4: open too. I mean he could have easily just picked

443
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 4: him instead and thrown to him. I mean, they've really

444
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 4: been getting those guys open and cattis is especially if

445
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 4: the Bunch has made a few great plays. One that

446
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 4: didn't even count, but I thought that was a catch.

447
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 4: So finally, I don't know if it's just Bully that

448
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 4: he grew up a Kentucky fan, he's like, hey, why

449
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 4: don't we start using these guys, or if it's you know,

450
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 4: maybe Derek Shay's doing something in that spot or Bush Hampden,

451
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 4: whatever it is. And it was only a week, but

452
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 4: it's been fun to see the tight ends get more targets.

453
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 3: So the spread has come out, Shannon, and I think

454
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 3: South Carolina is a six and a half point favorite.

455
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 4: Oh is that right? Yeah?

456
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:36,479
Speaker 3: I think it's what it is.

457
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 4: It's moved a half point here and there, but I

458
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 4: will call it a touchdown.

459
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 2: I would take some action on that six and a

460
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 2: half foot Have.

461
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 3: You seen anything out of South Carolina to make you

462
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 3: think they're gonna beat us by.

463
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 2: I think that's less about South Carolina and more about Kentucky.

464
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 2: I think they people just don't believe in Kentucky yet.

465
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 2: I think the bigger statement about them than it is

466
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 2: South Carolina.

467
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 4: I did think that was a little high, just the

468
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 4: way they have looked. That's one I not partake in.

469
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 4: That won't will not be in my KSR parlay at

470
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 4: the end of the week when we're making our picks.

471
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 4: But I thought that was the numbers a little high.

472
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 4: Think Kentucky's gonna go in there and play that Mark

473
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 4: Stoop's ball, slow it down field, position, good defense, and

474
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 4: run it. Maybe we'll get a low scoring game and

475
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 4: if you can get a few turnovers, maybe you're flying

476
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 4: home will win.

477
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 3: You mentioned the KSR parlay. Uh, let's say we missed

478
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 3: you last week.

479
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't even see it online. I don't know

480
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 4: anything we did. I'm glad y'all did it. You know,

481
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 4: held up the obligations. So I'm gonna guess Mario was

482
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 4: was Mario.

483
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 3: Picked Tulane over Ole Miss?

484
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 4: Well did you have? We normally have four, but you

485
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 4: are so short handed?

486
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 3: L pick?

487
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 4: Oh okay, Jeff is all right? Tell me about it.

488
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 3: Mario had that great pick of Tlane Overrole Miss in Oxford.

489
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 3: Horrible pick.

490
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 4: My goodness, Mark, I would have I would have gotten in

491
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 4: front of that one for you guys.

492
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 3: I picked Nebraska to beat Michigan in Nebraska. Horrible pick.

493
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 3: Another bad pick? What Corel pick?

494
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 2: He picked Oklahoma win? No, it was it was a

495
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 2: push because it was so spread. It was seven, So

496
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 2: y'all doing the spread. You know, we just have to

497
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 2: pick a winner. Y'all are doing that on your own.

498
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 3: Well, Shannon was the only one that got a victory

499
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 3: this weekend, and I had was it Syracuse?

500
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 2: My PLU No was Syracuse plus seventeen and a half.

501
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 2: They won by thirteen, So I should have taken them

502
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 2: just to win money line. Yeah, but that was the

503
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 2: only pick the.

504
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 3: Hit Clemson's been like, my goodness, well they now one

505
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 3: and two, one and three, yeah, one and three, Yeah.

506
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 4: They got they gotta fire their national championship head coach.

507
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 4: There's no there's no faith in Clemson with Dabbo there.

508
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 4: He gotta go. But I want to hear about because

509
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 4: I only saw the final score. I want to know

510
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 4: what happened in Michigan Nebraska, just to experience all of it.

511
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 3: Well, on the field, Michigan ran all over them. Nebraska

512
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 3: could not stop the run, and then they could not

513
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 3: run the ball themselves, so that was kind of the

514
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 3: difference in the game. But man, what an environment. I mean,

515
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 3: they are like Nebraska football fans are kind of Kentucky

516
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 3: basketball fans, where if you're at the airport, everybody's wearing red.

517
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 3: If you're at dinner, everybody's wearing red. It's kind of

518
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 3: what we are around here in Lexington. Everybody has their

519
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 3: Nebraska stuff on. The environment was awesome, it was loud,

520
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 3: but then they only got beat. But then Nebraska fans

521
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 3: are so gracious afterwards, Hey, thanks for coming. Be careful

522
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 3: going home. Really, I'm like, whoa. That kind of took

523
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 3: me back a little bit, but uh, Dane only had

524
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 3: three targets two catches. Uh, well, he wasn't very happy,

525
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 3: but that was their first loss and it was a

526
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 3: big deal Michigan coming in on both teams undefeated and

527
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 3: they couldn't get it done.

528
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 4: So what's it like for the Keys? Because when he

529
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 4: was at UK, you know, Dante former player, they already

530
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 4: know half of Blexington, so you can just go show

531
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 4: up to tailgate. Dante could probably walk up to telgatey once.

532
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 4: Do they have like a little community in Nebraska? Were

533
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 4: you all on your own tailgating or is there like

534
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 4: a player family thing? You know, it was a pretty

535
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 4: pretty nice set up.

536
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 3: They do have great tailblegate areas. But Dante Nicole, we

537
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 3: just pulled into the parking garage, dropped down the tailgate

538
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 3: and there's like it was like eleven ten of us

539
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 3: because three Douglas coaches came, Steve and Rondo, Marx came,

540
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 3: h Jayden came his girlfriend from Georgia, and Joe Sinai,

541
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 3: So there were like ten of us. We just pulled

542
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 3: the tailgate down in the parking garage and when people

543
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 3: were driving by, I'm high five and they drive in.

544
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 4: The parking car that can be fun too. I heard

545
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 4: Shannon say a minute there, but you know, we've been

546
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 4: critical of the Kroger Field atmosphere, like are they just

547
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 4: is it just non stop rocking in there during the break.

548
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 3: There's ever a dull moment, and there's never a lull. Ever,

549
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 3: as soon as the play stopped, boom they're doing something music,

550
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 3: T Shirt machine something. I had some thoughts, So we'll

551
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 3: take ahead fun. So we'll take our break. Eight five

00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 3: a little bit. But before we go any further, we

569
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 3: got breaking new Shannon running the SEC football permanent opponents

570
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 3: have been announced, and we knew this was coming. Where

571
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 3: they're gonna announced that your permanent opponents that you get

572
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 3: every year, then the rotate other games.

573
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 4: Drew reveal who Kentucky's trying to pull it up and

574
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 4: it's not working for Shannon.

575
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 5: Have it?

576
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 3: I've got it here. Yeah, Okay, Shannon, you reveal it everybody.

577
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 2: For the next four seasons, Kentucky football permanent opponents will

578
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 2: be Tennessee, South Carolina, and Florida. Those are your three.

579
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 3: You know that was that was if you were on

580
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 3: draft kings, that was gonna be one of the top

581
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 3: picks for sure, was that Thresome. I thought Vanderbilt may

582
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 3: sneak in there. But what are your thoughts? You hear

583
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 3: you got Tennessee, Florida and South Carolina.

584
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 4: Honestly, I had no idea what they'd be, But as

585
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 4: Shannon was reading them off, I said, each of those

586
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 4: in my mind. As he went, because that's kind of

587
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 4: what I've been thinking. I know we wanted Vandy, and

588
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 4: Vandy would have made sense, but they probably want to

589
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 4: split up Kentucky and Vandy. And let you know, I

590
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 4: don't like to think that we're at the same level

591
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 4: of Vandy, but unfortunately we probably are, so they wanted

592
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 4: to separate those two, I assume. But you know, Tennessee

593
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 4: not a surprise at all. I'm glad we keep that one,

594
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 4: even though they have absolutely destroyed us for decades. I

595
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 4: didn't want to lose that. It's just a good, nasty rivalry.

596
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 4: We'll eventually get that that one figured out. But then

597
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 4: South Carolinlana here lately has had a lot of juice.

598
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 4: And then you get a Florida team that for a

599
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 4: long time you couldn't beat. But actually Kentucky's had their

600
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 4: number a little bit the last five or six years.

601
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 4: So that'll be hard to maintain over the course of time.

602
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 4: But at least right now that's been good too.

603
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 3: So they have these parts for four years and then

604
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 3: sec Aways will reevaluate, maybe mix it up a little bit,

605
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 3: kind of see where the programs are and adjust to

606
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 3: schedule a little bit. After the fourth season.

607
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 4: And you you play every school every two years or whatever,

608
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 4: so you know, we'll get to see everybody. I actually

609
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 4: like the way it's playing out.

610
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 2: Looking at some of the other teams, I'm not convinced

611
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 2: Ryan and Drew that they went by the tier level

612
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 2: we were talking about, you know, like a top tier,

613
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 2: middle tier, bottom tier team. I mean, you look at Tennessee,

614
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 2: they get Alabama, Okay, top tier team, that's fine, but

615
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 2: then UK and Vandy. And then you look over at Auburn,

616
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 2: who gets Alabama, which is not really a surprise, but

617
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 2: they also get Georgia and Vandy. So I feel like,

618
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 2: you know, Auburn kind of got the raw end here

619
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 2: of the deal because they got if we're calling them tiers,

620
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 2: I mean, wouldn't you put Alabama and Georgia top tier

621
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 2: and they got two of those teams.

622
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 4: And some SEC teams have more natural rivalries than we do,

623
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 4: Like Tennessee's got several, at least they think they do. Yeah,

624
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 4: in their minds they do, but then you know, you

625
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 4: can't break up you know, cocktail parties and the Iron Bowl.

626
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 4: There's a lot of rivalries they had to try to maintain,

627
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 4: even if it's the competitive balance wasn't even.

628
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, Auburn's a great example, Shannon, because they're they're going

629
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 3: to give them Alabama for sure, right, we knew that.

630
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 3: And then the Auburn Georgia game is so big, right,

631
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 3: and then they appease them. They gave them Vanderbilt. Yeah,

632
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 3: so you get Alabama, Georgia and Vanderbilt if you're.

633
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 4: All I mean, Vandy's got Vama's number. They're on a

634
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 4: one game win streak right.

635
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 3: Now, and Alabama smoke. Alabama gets Auburn Tennessee and then

636
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 3: they gave him Mississippi State. Okay, so they're trying to

637
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 3: keep some of the the rivalries intact a little bit

638
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 3: with the scheduling. I kind of expect we were gonna

639
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 3: get Georgia. I didn't know what other or what we're

640
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 3: gonna be, who else we're gonna be with. I just

641
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 3: kind of had a feeling Georgia's hunt was coming.

642
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 4: I just want to win a home SEC game at

643
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 4: some point. That'd be pretty nice. That'd be cool.

644
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:31,239
Speaker 3: Remember when we used to do that.

645
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wasn't nine in a row now, Yes, I

646
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 4: think it is. I don't care who it is. I

647
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 4: don't care if they come in here with four people.

648
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 4: I just want to win an SEC game in Kroger

649
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 4: Field to reward all those people that drive all over,

650
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 4: pay that money, sit there all day for one of

651
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 4: the worst experiences in the conference and can't get a win.

652
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 4: I want to win a damn game. Whatever. Whatever the

653
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 4: new system is.

654
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 3: Well, they got Tennessee and Florida both coming to Croger Field.

655
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 3: Both gonna be on our schedule for the next four

656
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 3: years after this season, Florida's kind of leaping limping in

657
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:57,719
Speaker 3: a little bit.

658
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 4: They got Florida'll have a new coach very soon.

659
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 3: I don't think Billion Napier will be the coach when

660
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 3: they come in here.

661
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 4: I made one bet before the season of like the

662
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 4: future's long terms bet. I never do that because I

663
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 4: hate waiting till the end of the year. It just

664
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 4: sits there and you gotta look at it. But Florida's

665
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 4: win total was seven and a half and I hammered

666
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 4: the under on that because that is way too many

667
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 4: games and you know, still some football left. But they're

668
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 4: off to a good start on making me money there.

669
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 3: So the upcoming games, Missouri, as we said, beat South Carolina.

670
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 3: You know, are they a more winnable game. Now, maybe

671
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 3: Florida lost at Miami. Are they a little more winnable game?

672
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 3: Maybe Oklahoma beat Auburn. I can't figure Auburn out yet.

673
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 3: Sometimes they have pretty good, sometimes they're not.

674
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 4: How about Auburn getting robbed? Did you see the SEC apologize?

675
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 4: That's pretty rare. You're like, hey, these idiots really messed

676
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 4: that one up, Sorry about that. I don't know that

677
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 4: they would have won the game, but they definitely got

678
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 4: hosed on that one particular play where they gave up

679
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:50,120
Speaker 4: the trick touchdown.

680
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 3: Vandy's the dark horse right now. They scored seventy points

681
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 3: four and oh, I think they're better than I thought.

682
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I had Kentucky beating Florida, as I said, I

683
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 4: thought Florida would be down this year anyway, it's kind

684
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 4: of proving to look good so far. But Vandy's the

685
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 4: one I thought Kentucky would go down there and get

686
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 4: a win in Nashville. And if I if I had

687
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 4: to change my preseason prediction, that's the game where I'd

688
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 4: probably flip what I thought.

689
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 3: Of it then. Like the other games were like blowout Texas, LSU,

690
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 3: Tennessee all one big. I mean the every weekend the

691
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 3: SEC do. No matter who you play, you're gonna get it.

692
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 3: I just think some teams are maybe a little even

693
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 3: better than I thought.

694
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, and uh, we're to the point of the season

695
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 4: we knew it was coming.

696
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 3: Uh.

697
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 4: South Carolina is not ranked, you know, they were just

698
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 4: a couple of weeks ago. But this is where Kentucky

699
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 4: hits the gauntlet. You got the three home games out

700
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 4: of the way. Wish you could have gotten Old Miss,

701
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 4: but at least you handled business in the other two.

702
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 4: But now this schedule gets real tough for a little while, and.

703
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 3: You get you're handing everything over to cutter Bowlie. That's

704
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 3: what I'm like, man, even if you have some growing pains,

705
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 3: just build with him for you know, for the next

706
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 3: couple of seasons.

707
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 4: And I'm interested to see or hear what Mark Stoop

708
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 4: says today, because you know, last week, being about week,

709
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 4: he didn't do the Monday press conference, which is normal,

710
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 4: but then he handed off the coaches show to Push Hampden.

711
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 4: So we really haven't heard Stoops say anything since that

712
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 4: Eastern Michigan game Michigan Michigan game except his immediate postgame comments.

713
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna assume I don't know if he'll name

714
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 4: Bully the starter for gamesmanship or whatever, but I'm just

715
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 4: interested to see what he has to say about what

716
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 4: they're gonna do moving forward. There's some injuries, especially on

717
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 4: defense we need to get some good news from. But

718
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 4: finally we're back to the regular regular team where Stoops

719
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 4: will talk today at noon and we should have a

720
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 4: lot of news later.

721
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've heard more from Josh Katis than I have

722
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 3: from Mark Stops. Last week, Catus was on the Coaches Show,

723
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 3: he was on Sunday Morning Sport Talk yesterday morning with

724
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 3: the guys. Yeah, so he's making the rounds right now

725
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 3: because he didn't take a boy a week. No, but

726
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 3: the tight ends with Willie Rodriguez from right here at

727
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 3: Fort Thomas Highlands, they're the there are They're the leading

728
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 3: receivers on the team. Are our tight ends?

729
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, And when Rodriguez came in, I remember on his

730
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 4: visit they brought him through ks Bar and he's just

731
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 4: one of those guys that passed the looks tests as

732
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 4: a high school senior. I remember thinking, my goodness, the

733
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 4: hell was that, you know? And then he's already living

734
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 4: up to it. I know it was his first touchdown.

735
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 4: But he especially with his personal connection to Bowlie. When

736
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 4: he was being recruited, Bully had already committed showed him

737
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 4: around Lexington. Bullie was a big part of he got there.

738
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 4: So now we're going to get to see that connection

739
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 4: come to fruition a little earlier than we expected.

740
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 3: I think Katis said something like two said, we're also

741
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 3: his roommates Cattus and Frodricauz. I guess his roommates with

742
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 3: with Bowie.

743
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, Bowie paid rent by throwing touchdowns. I think you

744
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 4: got to take that month, that month off, I think

745
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 4: that brought you.

746
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, some couple of steak dinners, a couple of lunches

747
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 3: and everything else. So all right. We were live at

748
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 3: Fort Thomas Higland's High School, appear in Fort Thomas, Kentucky.

749
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 3: Was raining a little bit from Sun's out the beautiful day.

750
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 3: I got a couple of special guests coming up in

751
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 3: a little bit. I'm really excited about this. Is Tad

752
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 3: and Lorenzen going to join us. Tadan, of course, the

753
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,239
Speaker 3: son of Jared Lorenzen, made a name for himself here,

754
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 3: became a legend here Fort Thomas Highlands High School before

755
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 3: he went on to Kentucky, went on with the Giants

756
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 3: won a Super Bowl.

757
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 4: This that jar is our football podcast, probably a big.

758
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 3: KSR football pregame show. He did this for years. When

759
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 3: you mentioned Fort Thomas Hilllands High School's usually the first

760
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 3: name I think of is Jared Lorenzen.

761
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 4: I went in and took a big picture of the

762
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 4: got a big thing in the gym for him from

763
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 4: his basketball career, and then everyone here just noted this

764
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 4: wasn't intentional, But today's the twenty second So I don't know.

765
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 4: That kind of fell into that one.

766
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 3: Too, you know. So that's that's the Fort Thomas Highlands.

767
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 3: God's kind of working it all together here for if

768
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 3: we can't get it stopped raining. It's day number twenty two.

769
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 3: In September, we got the ruber Stan Robert has this

770
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 3: jersey here where it's got New York Giants jersey number

771
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 3: Lorenza on the back, but he put number twenty two

772
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 3: on it. I think Jared was like what thirteen was

773
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 3: with the Giants. We think it was thirteen.

774
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 4: I wore a Giants Jersey's Monday Night football I met

775
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 4: life one time. I might have been the most popular

776
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 4: guy in the building. Everyone wanted to come up and

777
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 4: pat me on the back. There was actual practice jersey.

778
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,440

803
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 5: Just spend up playing some football, focusing on school, just

804
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 5: trying to have a great life as a teenager.

805
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 3: I mean, there's more to life than football up here

806
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 3: at Highlands.

807
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 5: Oh yeah there is. They give us a lot of

808
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 5: things outside of school, like clubs and stuff, but they

809
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 5: have great spirit for a football team and for everybody else.

810
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 4: You say you're playing a little football, I would say

811
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 4: you're playing it pretty well. I live near Frederick Douglas

812
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 4: High School and early this season I saw you had

813
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 4: a big touchdown against them, had a big game just

814
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 4: this past weekend. What's it like just being out there

815
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 4: on that field wearing a jersey that a numbers specific

816
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 4: specifically that means so much to people around here.

817
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 5: It's great having people remember who he was and the

818
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 5: person that he was, not just on the field but

819
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 5: off the field. And I want to I want to

820
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 5: have that same effect on myself when people talk to me.

821
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, when people they when they see you play wearing

822
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 3: that number twenty two, they all say the same thing.

823
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 3: It's like, it's like it's surreal. You know, you're seeing

824
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 3: Jerry Junior out there running around playing football, do you guys,

825
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 3: because you probably take priding that.

826
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 5: Yeah.

827
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 4: Uh.

828
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 5: We walked the same, talked the same, look the same.

829
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 5: The only thing that's different Sollness is I'm right handed.

830
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 3: Oh you're right handed?

831
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:33,719
Speaker 5: Yeah?

832
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 3: Did you you know? He's got this mixtape that is

833
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 3: like famous. It goes around every once in a while

834
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 3: people find it and then it'll go viral again. What

835
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 3: when when you when you see that mixtape? What do

836
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 3: you think and what do you do you like? Are

837
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 3: you amazed the stuff that he used to be able

838
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 3: to do?

839
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a perfect representation of what what I think.

840
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 5: While I watched that stuff. Obviously I've watched a thousand times,

841
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 5: and I like, I watched how and I watched filming myself,

842
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 5: and then I watched him and it's like with the

843
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 5: same person, that's weird.

844
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 4: At what point growing up did you know that you

845
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,720
Speaker 4: were going to be following that path? I'm gonna assume

846
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 4: pretty early since there's so many similarities. But was there

847
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,240
Speaker 4: like a specific moment where you're like, all right, looks

848
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 4: like I'm just following those footsteps.

849
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 1: Uh.

850
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 5: Probably when we I was playing on a junior football

851
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 5: team and we played on the Bengals stadium at halftime,

852
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:30,240
Speaker 5: and I got to meet on a bunch of players

853
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 5: like Saquon Barkley and Eli Manning and people like that.

854
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 5: Eli's a great guy. And I think that's one of

855
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 5: the moments where I realized that it's like, welcome to

856
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:42,839
Speaker 5: the show.

857
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 4: I remember, I remember writing a blog post about that.

858
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,399
Speaker 4: It was like Taylor Rensen makes NFL debut. I remember

859
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 4: it might have been were you at the game? We

860
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 4: had the KASR person at the game oddly and then

861
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 4: saw you out there, so.

862
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 3: You know, uh, you used to be a basketball player though,

863
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 3: used to hoop it up basketball, so your dad had

864
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 3: a lot of youth basketball tournaments and decide when you

865
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 3: decide to give that up and just go off football.

866
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel like, not that I don't have a

867
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 5: chance in basketball, but I feel like if I put

868
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 5: it all into the weightlifting side and getting in to

869
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 5: the gym, getting my speed better, which I do think

870
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 5: basketball helps with that, And I love our basketball coach,

871
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 5: but I think me focusing on football, hand speed, agility

872
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 5: and all those things can all I can do is help.

873
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 3: Because Big Daddy could play a little basketball too. It's

874
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 3: amazing see this big guy out there and the things

875
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 3: he would do. Kind of has a point guard on

876
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 3: the basketball team.

877
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's something. That's something that he can do

878
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 5: that I could not. I don't know. I can't play

879
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 5: guard out there.

880
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 4: Well, he was one of one in that you and

881
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 4: no one else. But let's just talk about just Highlands

882
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 4: and you being a part of this team had a

883
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 4: lot of success years ago. Kind of getting back to that.

884
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 4: We have a KSR Top twenty five that might have

885
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 4: just come out now, if not about later, but we've

886
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,439
Speaker 4: had you in the top ten even up to fifth.

887
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 4: I think all year. Is there some pride and in

888
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 4: getting this football program back to where it once was

889
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 4: and maybe start hanging a few more banners and trophies

890
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 4: in there?

891
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's our that's our goal every year is to

892
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 5: win a state championship. Of course there's been a drought,

893
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 5: but all we can do as a team is work

894
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 5: hard in the weight room, and as our coach likes

895
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 5: to say, it's a special sauce for our football team.

896
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 5: So all we can do is work hard and try

897
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 5: our best and we'll see what happens from there.

898
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, Drew mentioned the Frederick Douglas game and double overtime.

899
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 3: You scored the game winning conversion to win that game.

900
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 3: It kind of propelled you. I think the next game

901
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 3: out you had three touchdowns in a game you lead

902
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 3: the team in rushes yards and nine touchdowns. So are

903
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 3: you gonna be a full back? I mean, what? What?

904
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 3: What is your position now?

905
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be completely honest, I don't even know.

906
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 3: Just wherever they put you and give you the ball.

907
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, where they need to put me to succeed as

908
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 5: a team and when games That's what I'm gonna do.

909
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 4: Have you been joining the recruiting process. I know you've

910
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 4: done some visits to UK. There's another visit that I'm

911
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 4: gonna ask you about later, but what we'll save that one.

912
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 4: But is it been fun just kind of starting that process.

913
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 4: You got a little more time to figure it all out.

914
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 4: But I'm sure the phone has been ringing a little bit.

915
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, not as much as I would think, but It's

916
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 5: all part of the process, and I'm not worried about it.

917
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 5: I'm still young, and if I'm the player that I

918
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 5: need to be, then the calls will come.

919
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 3: You got the offer right now from Miami, Ohio. That's

920
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 3: gonna be the first of many, I think coming once

921
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 3: you can continue to develop, get bigger, stronger. Are they

922
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 3: recruiting you as a full back or a tight end?

923
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 3: Like where you think your position's gonna be in college?

924
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 5: I think it's a tight end. But honestly, once I

925
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 5: get there, or like if if I can talk to

926
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 5: the coaches whatever they think. I haven't really talked to

927
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 5: them as a specific position. So I'm an athlete as

928
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 5: of now.

929
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know your dad had a million nicknames. I

930
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 3: got a shirt right now. It says the hefty left

931
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 3: to on it round mount to touchdown, peelsbury throw boy,

932
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 3: world's largest quarterback. What's what? Yeah, I forgot about that one.

933
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,479
Speaker 3: What's your favorite nickname they had for your dad?

934
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:12,720
Speaker 5: Probably feels very thoroughboy or have to left these always good?

935
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 5: But besides that one probably feels very thrill boy. I

936
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 5: don't know, it just rolls off the tongue.

937
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, once he he got that UK, and we

938
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 3: all knew, even in Kentucky. Once he got UK, just

939
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 3: his startupm just blew up. You know, everybody wanted a

940
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 3: piece of Jared and he got all these different nicknames

941
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 3: and he embraced I thought that was so cool. He

942
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 3: embraced it. He goes, yeah, I know, I'm a big guy,

943
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 3: so what watch me play?

944
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 4: Yeah?

945
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 5: I think that's uh, that's He's brought that onto me

946
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 5: a little bit. I mean, it's obviously going to be

947
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 5: an issue in my whole life, but I'd rather embrace

948
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 5: it than try and it's like it's not here. Yeah,

949
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,919
Speaker 5: And I don't know. I love it. I'm a comfy guy.

950
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 5: Like there's nothing that there's nothing bad about being overweight.

951
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 5: Like it's just if you are every way, you just

952
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 5: have to embrace it. And if you want to turn

953
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 5: your life around, you can. And that's what I'm trying

954
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 5: to do right now.

955
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 4: That's the exact same attitude he would have. Just another similarity.

956
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 3: Sounds like that Jared was saying that word for word.

957
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 4: Now, is there there's one thing, one similarity I'm worried about.

958
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 4: I know you have to You're you're trying to make

959
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 4: a football career here and whoever calls you have to

960
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 4: take it. And if they want you to come visit,

961
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 4: you got a visit. But I do have to tell

962
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 4: you a story. One time I was with your dad.

963
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 4: We had just done a show in Louisville. We're with

964
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 4: our friend WU seven foot basketball player for Kentucky, and

965
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 4: we specifically went out of the way to take a

966
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 4: picture outside Papa John's Cardinals Stadium doing L's down. Got it, Yeah,

967
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 4: you're on, You're with us, there's all of it. So

968
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:36,479
Speaker 4: we went out of the way to do an El's

969
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 4: down picture. Now, I know you have to be open minded,

970
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,879
Speaker 4: but when you tweeted that that the red the other day,

971
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 4: I guess you had been some camps and stuff. It

972
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 4: did make me wonder that we're there. We're getting a

973
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 4: little too close with Louisville. So you don't even have

974
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 4: to say anything. But right now, Kentucky, if you're listening,

975
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 4: we need this phone ring a little more this way

976
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 4: because seeing that red hurt me and I know it

977
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 4: probably hurt his dad. But it is good that the

978
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 4: n State School has been looking at you. You said Miami

979
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 4: of Ohio has made the scholarship offer. Uh, you still

980
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 4: have another year to go too, But uh, are you

981
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 4: are you still considering if they were to, you know, offer,

982
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 4: is that something you would consider?

983
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 5: It's all. It just depends on what happens with other schools.

984
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 5: And like the firing between Miami, say I got Miami

985
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 5: High and Louisville, I don't know as of now. I'm

986
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 5: still I still got another year to figure that out.

987
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 5: So honestly, I can't give you an answer.

988
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, someone in Lexington if they want to slide

989
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 4: out of that for that'd be that'd be pretty cool

990
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:29,839
Speaker 4: for all of us.

991
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,240
Speaker 3: This just takes some advice from Uncle Drew and Uncle Ryan.

992
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 3: If a guy named Vince Merrill calls you, hang up,

993
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 3: just hang up.

994
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 4: We know him too. We can't put him on his

995
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 4: point and get him in trouble in his recruitment here.

996
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 4: But we we all know where we would prefer of

997
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 4: those two options. But we're proud you're getting those calls

998
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 4: and get some good looks.

999
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 3: You guys. If you beat Ryle last weekend and they're

1000
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 3: always a good team, had Boyle County down to the

1001
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 3: final play, that's the one, that's the one bliming way

1002
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 3: three and one right now in the season.

1003
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 5: Yep, three and one, four and one? Is it four now?

00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,320
Speaker 5: They got they got a great stadium out there, and
