Speaker 4: some atta you know.

95
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 3: That, so if you were to like go back if

96
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 3: last last March, when we walked off the court in

97
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh after loss to Oakland, I had in my mind

98
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 3: that I was probably gonna be done, that I was

99
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 3: ready to like do something else or at least try

100
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 3: some things. It felt, especially once a few days later

101
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 3: that it came out that that Cal was going to

102
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 3: be back. I just kind of thought, you know, it's

103
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 3: probably good. Uh, it's probably good for me to at

104
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 3: least take a year and go do something else. I

105
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 3: had already planned that trip, and I thought, you know,

106
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 3: I'm going to confirm in my mind on that trip.

107
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 3: But but my general response was to was to not

108
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 3: And then you know, obviously things chang quickly. You ended

109
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 3: up with Mark Pope here. There was a lot of

110
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 3: energy which I could feel, which was good. And then

111
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 3: I did my trip and I had it was really

112
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 3: exactly what I needed to do. And then I came

113
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 3: back and I thought, you know what, you know, I'm

114
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 3: only in my mid forties. I'm not ready to move

115
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 3: to a retirement home yet. So then we started talking

116
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 3: and we're able to make it happen.

117
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 4: Do you think it was during your trip that you

118
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 4: kind of came to realization I want to stay for

119
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 4: a lot, like another five years during my.

120
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 3: Trip that I it was during my trip that I realized, like, okay,

121
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 3: so life is short, right, and I want to be

122
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 3: able to do more things than I mean, this job

123
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,239
Speaker 3: has wetted me to a place for fifty to twenty years. Really,

124
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 3: I mean, I you know, I would take those two

125
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 3: weeks and drive around the country and that was about it.

126
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 3: And I worked with that hart and they did a

127
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 3: good job of like giving me the freedom like from

128
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,559
Speaker 3: April to August, I'll be doing this show the normal

129
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 3: amount of time, but I might all not always be here,

130
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 3: and they gave me some freedom to do that. And

131
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 3: then just you know, listen, it's a new era and

132
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 3: it's exciting. I mean, how could you not be wrapped up?

133
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 3: You know? That Sunday at rapp Ana was like I

134
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 3: called it a big blue It was like a revival,

135
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 3: you know, a tent revival in some ways. But it

136
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 3: was for the fans. I think it was for the program,

137
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 3: it was for Mark, and on a personal level, it

138
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 3: was for me. And I was like, okay, there is

139
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 3: a path. I could not see myself doing what we

140
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 3: did last year again. I really could, because after every game,

141
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 3: if we lost, it was my fault to a lot

142
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 3: of people, and if we won, they just go eat it.

143
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 3: And I was like, I just can't. I can't do

144
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 3: that anymore. And then that ended up. So thank you

145
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,559
Speaker 3: to Arkansas for also that. I think that was chicking.

146
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 6: It was a congratulations. But me, you walked right into

147
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 6: my question. Did the public reception you got in April

148
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 6: kind of help?

149
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 3: Well?

150
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 6: That was nice, but I remember everybody was real nasty,

151
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 6: but there was a lot of nastiness.

152
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 3: And then that was nice. That was nice, and that

153
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 3: certainly may reminded you, hey, the people that yell at

154
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 3: you online are a minority. But it was also just

155
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 3: a part. I mean, I started this website when I

156
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 3: was twenty six years old while also being a lawyer,

157
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 3: and for twenty straight years, I never stopped, Like I

158
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 3: mean never stopped. There was a period where, you know,

159
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 3: for fourteen years where I wrote every single day, and

160
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 3: then you know, when you took a chance to stop

161
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 3: and you were like, okay, let's reprioritize. And then when

162
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 3: I came back, I realized you can still do this

163
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 3: show well and have a life, and so I was.

164
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 6: Like yeah, let's keep going, and you miss Ryan.

165
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 3: Let's be honest, but listen, I would miss if I

166
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 3: didn't do it, I would miss you all. I mean,

167
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 3: I'm when I was at my worst health crisis, the

168
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 3: happiest two hours of my day was this, right. I

169
00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 3: never didn't enjoy doing this, and so yeahed to keep

170
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 3: going and like, yeah, being with you all. I mean,

171
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 3: how many shows keep the core group? That's true for

172
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 3: thirteen years. I mean the first two years were a

173
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 3: little different. I was with Zach for a year, and

174
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 3: then I was with Shannon and random people for a year.

175
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 3: But really, for thirteen years it's been this core group

176
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 3: and they're just you know, there are not too many

177
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 3: shows that could do that.

178
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 4: No, you listen to the successful, even the successful radio shows,

179
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 4: their host are together like maybe two three years tops.

180
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 3: Because they end up hating each other, Like I mean,

181
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 3: I've seen that from ESPN almost all, I mean almost

182
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 3: all national shows. The host all end up hating each other.

183
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 3: And we like each other and we are friends. Except

184
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 3: for Shannon not invite us to the Christmas party. We

185
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 3: always get along very well, and it's you know, so

186
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 3: it's a great.

187
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 2: To get five really nice five more years for me

188
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 2: to invite you to one of the parties, and then.

189
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 3: I can start coming when we don't work together. That's

190
00:08:58,840 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 3: fair enough.

191
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 6: This morning he called us work friends. By the way, Yeah,

192
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 6: you're not real friends.

193
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 2: You called us work for end guys after work and

194
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 2: grab a beer with you. Ever, it's always like I

195
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 2: see you guys.

196
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 3: Were true though we do. It's just we're in different places.

197
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 3: But we You and I once a year hang out,

198
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 3: get wet.

199
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 6: It's work, and you know, there's a handful of times

200
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 6: I think the key to success is across country road

201
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 6: trips with airbnbs. Really that if national guys, if Mike

202
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 6: and Mike had done that, they'd still be pitching subway

203
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 6: in the mornings on ESPN. I think that helps bring

204
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 6: us together to.

205
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 3: And there's a Let me also say this. I've heard

206
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 3: a lot more of this since April, but you know,

207
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 3: people have been saying this forever. The role this show

208
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 3: plays in other people's life and the things they're going

209
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 3: in is immensely gratifying. I mean the role when people say,

210
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 3: you know, I had a family member sick and we

211
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 3: sit and listen to this, or you know, I will

212
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 3: get text messages literally five to six a week of

213
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,599
Speaker 3: someone who says to me, I'm going through X, Y

214
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 3: or Z and listening to this helped me. Or there's

215
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 3: a lot of lonely people in the world, but who

216
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 3: feel like so like all that stuff is is a

217
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 3: huge part of why I really enjoy it.

218
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 4: The thing that always gets me too is when, like

219
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 4: if somebody says, my dad was in failing health. But

220
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 4: the one thing we talked about every day we go

221
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 4: the show gets me every time.

222
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 3: And we've and this is a testament to bringing on Mario.

223
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 3: We have picked up in the last year a younger audience.

224
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 3: I can feel it. I mean I can feel it

225
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 3: with those videos and bringing in Mario has helped us

226
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 3: reach a generation. There had become a point that I

227
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 3: wondered if like that, like people twenty five and under,

228
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 3: if we just like we're old now and we'll never

229
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 3: connect to them. But Mario has helped make that happen

230
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 3: in a way that I think is really really exciting.

231
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 3: And so now you can get eighty year olds and

232
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 3: fifty year olds, and sports radio in general in this

233
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 3: country gets thirty five to fifty five year old.

234
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 4: Men and that's it.

235
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 3: And that's it. Yep, this does a lot more, and

236
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 3: I think that's part of what makes it great.

237
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean the number show is still growing. It's fun.

238
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 6: I think the bar, you know, we actually get to

239
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 6: see like kids coming here to get Ryan Lemon's autographed

240
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 6: like that lets us know there's a little bit of future.

241
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 6: And we still have some unfed finished business, some brackets,

242
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 6: some some sopranos podcasts.

243
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 3: We were then we were the number one radio station

244
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 3: in Kentucky last time for twenty five to fifty four

245
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 3: year old women. There's no sports show in America that

246
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 3: never happened. There's none. There's no sports show that's in

247
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 3: the top ten in that demographic and we're number one,

248
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 3: So like, how can you not be excited and listen?

249
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 3: This has been This has been a fun year. I

250
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 3: mean even though we're eighteen and nine or whatever, and

251
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 3: there have been years people would say, well, that's not elite.

252
00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 3: I think you got to go back from me to

253
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 3: Lot maybe the last team before COVID as a team

254
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,719
Speaker 3: that I've just enjoyed the ride as much as I've

255
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 3: enjoyed this one.

256
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 4: For basketball, I think there's no doubt there's been some

257
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 4: rough seasons, which led us to have some rough times

258
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 4: on this radio show because people were so frustrated. Like

259
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 4: I said before, we were a fractured fan base and

260
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 4: we felt it on this show. By the way, the

261
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 4: people that called in, Yeah.

262
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 6: This is such a fun group, not just with Pope

263
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 6: being here and everything starting new, everything fresh, that's always

264
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 6: gonna give you no energy. But whatever happens with this team,

265
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 6: it's one of my favorites. I kind of said that

266
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 6: last year too, and it really ended poorly, But I

267
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 6: mean this, this group is one that I already will

268
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 6: will remember for a long time and there'll be among

269
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 6: my favorites.

270
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 3: Well, I want to thank you guys for being like

00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 3: but have been great and really to the audience. You know, Uh,

276
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 3: this is I never would have thought twenty five years

277
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 3: ago that this would be my life. I went to

278
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 3: law school and I thought I'm just gonna be like

279
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 3: maybe if I'm lucky, I'll be in a courtroom and

280
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 3: be arguing somewhere. And this is so much more fulfilling

281
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 3: for me. And it's because of those of you that

282
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 3: read the blog during the Patterson Lucas Uh, you know,

283
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 3: Alan Cutler chasing Billy Gillespie, John cal Perry getting hired,

284
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 3: the National Championship Platoons, Mark Stoops, you know, all the

285
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 3: way through the College World Series last year to the

00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 3: new Mark Pope Revolution. You know, it's because of you

287
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 3: all this has happened. And I'm excited to do five

288
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 3: more years, but also thankful to everybody that helped make

289
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 3: it happen. If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two

00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 3: It is can Tell You Sports Radio. If I'm nine

297
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 3: two eight oh twenty two eighty seven, uh, text machine

298
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 3: seven seven two seven seven four five two five four.

299
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 2: Uh.

300
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 3: Some some things coming on the text machine. One person rights, Matt,

301
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 3: Why do you guys keep doing radio? Don't you think

302
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 3: you should do other medium mediums. Radio is too old

303
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 3: school for me. Well, first of all, no, because radio

304
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 3: is the best medium radio, you know, I don't think

305
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 3: radio and podcasts are different. Radio does have commercials live,

306
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 3: but then we put it up on podcasts and if

307
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 3: you hate the commercials, you can just wait and do

308
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 3: the podcast. It's live. I like the fact you can

309
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 3: react to things live. I also think when podcast when

310
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 3: for those of you that listen to podcasts, they do

311
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 3: live podcast, guess what that is? A radio show, like, like,

312
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 3: that's the same thing. Now. I do think eventually we'll

313
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 3: get it to where it streams like the YouTube on YouTube.

314
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 3: I think that will eventually happen one day. I don't know.

315
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 3: I don't know if it'll be like in the next year,

316
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 3: but I do think that'll happen at some point. But

317
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 3: to me, radio slash podcast because I do consider that

318
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 3: the same thing. It's the most growing media. TV's die,

319
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 3: but radio you can take it with you. And I

320
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 3: also think I've said this many times, when you listen

321
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 3: to someone on the radio, like that's who they are.

322
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 3: You can fake it Ryan on television. You can't fake

323
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 3: it on radio, Like you're gonna end up being who

324
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 3: you are in some form.

325
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a two hour live show, so you can

326
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 4: show your personality. And when you're doing sports on TV

327
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 4: on a newscast, you have three minutes to condense everything

328
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 4: in three minutes. Were on this radio show. We've got

329
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 4: a two hour show. You can kind of be yourself.

330
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 3: And podcasts can be edited. I've radio cannot, so like

331
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 3: if somebody says something they wish they didn't, well you

332
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 3: can kind of manipulate that, but on radio, like it's

333
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 3: out there, it's gone. You might edit it after the fact,

334
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 3: but it's still went out there. So like here, you

335
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 3: know it is what. It's a different kind of thing

336
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 3: that can be part of the fun. This guy next

337
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 3: to me sometimes might say something backwards in a podcast.

338
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 3: Would edit that and let him fix it, you know

339
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 3: you Ryan. When Saturday Night Live on their fiftieth anniversary,

340
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 3: they did the in memoriam, rather than putting up pictures

341
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 3: of people that died, they put up skits. Pictures of

342
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 3: skits that wouldn't play in today's world that were maybe

343
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 3: a little problematic, And I thought, you know, KSR could

344
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 3: have the Ryan Lemon version of that Ryan Lemon things

345
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 3: that have been said. You know, I've talked about this

346
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 3: a lot. But when I was thinking about running for

347
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 3: senate and I had to pay for my own background check,

348
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 3: and it was like fifty pages, forty five of which

349
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 3: were old KSR posts, and you sit there and you

350
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 3: read it. Most of them weren't mine. Most of them

351
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 3: were this guy sitting over here and another friend and

352
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 3: another friend of mine. But sitting there reading it, I

353
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 3: thought even stuff I'd written, I was like, I can't

354
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 3: believe I ever wrote that. But you know, things change

355
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 3: over time, and things that seemed over okay then seemed

356
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 3: less okay. Now sometimes Ryan Lemon, I think has some

357
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 3: of those on the air.

358
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 4: I just watched a movie and there was some scenes

359
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 4: in the movie like okay that would not fly in

360
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 4: today's world.

361
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, you could. There's just some things that I mean,

362
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 3: there were some things that I said that I like,

363
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 3: look back and go what was I thinking, like, you know,

364
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 3: it's just that's what happens. Well.

365
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 6: The Hangover one of the biggest movies of the year.

366
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 6: Their trailer had some things we don't say anymore. If

367
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 6: you're go back and you're like that was in the

368
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 6: movie trailer, like that was on TV as a commercial.

369
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 3: Yeah. So, I mean that's you know, that's part of

370
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 3: part of growing one person rights, Matt. I was listening

371
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 3: to your very first KSR show, and I remember thinking,

372
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 3: this guy will never make it. He's too nervous. I

373
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 3: was really nervous those in those days, especially when we started,

374
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 3: because you know, I was on every crappy station in

375
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 3: Louisville for years and then they finally put me on

376
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 3: iHeart and I was like, well, I can't screw this up.

377
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 3: So I was very nervous when we first started. If

378
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 3: you go to listen to those shows, it sounds like

379
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 3: a different show. Like it just it doesn't even sound

380
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 3: like the same thing. I mean, I don't even sound

381
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:03,719
Speaker 3: like the same person.

382
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 4: You did podcast for how long before you did the

383
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 4: radio show, the one on Well.

384
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 3: I named this thing Kentucky Sports Radio because I one

385
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 3: day wanted to be on the radio, huh. And we

386
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 3: created a podcast very soon after. I've told this story

387
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 3: a lot, and then I'll shut up and we'll talk

388
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 3: about the game. I went to every radio station, every

389
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 3: single one of them in Lexington, Louisville, and I went

390
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 3: to ones in like Winchester, Nicholasville, Harrisburg. I physically walked

391
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 3: into every station in these cities and said, give me

392
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 3: a show, I'll do it for free, and every one

393
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 3: of them said no, And so I was like, you

394
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 3: know what, all right, I'll just do one myself. And

395
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 3: I had heard a radio show talk about the idea

396
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 3: of podcast Adam Curry, former MTVVJ. I was like, well,

397
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 3: I could do that. I think I'm not saying this

398
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 3: to be like bragging. I think it's the truth. I

399
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 3: think we had the first podcast in Kentucky because it

400
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 3: didn't even exist, like it wasn't even a medium that existed,

401
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,719
Speaker 3: and I created. I went to the people at Kentucky

402
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 3: Sports Report and I said, can I take this podcast

403
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 3: I'm making and put it on here because I need

404
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 3: somewhere to host it. I didn't even know what that

405
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 3: word meant, right, but and so I went to him

406
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 3: and said, you don't even have to pay me. Can

407
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 3: I just put it here? And they said no, we

408
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 3: don't want that. And I went, well, now what? And

409
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 3: I was at Hubby's house in his basement and Hubby goes, well,

410
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 3: he could just make you a website. And then Kentucky

411
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 3: Sports Radio really just existed for me to have somewhere

412
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 3: to put my podcast on. And then I was like, well,

413
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 3: now I can write stuff. And then that's kind of

414
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 3: how it happened. But it happened because every single station

415
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 3: in Kentucky told me no, and I was like, all right,

416
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 3: well then I'll just do it myself.

417
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 4: Kicking themselves now, ain't it?

418
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know yet that's them.

419
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 6: But I kind of missed the days of the podcast

420
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 6: in Humby's basement when his wife would be folding clothes

421
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 6: and uh next to us.

422
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,959
Speaker 3: His wife hated it. His wife was like, what are

423
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 3: you all doing? Why? Why are you Why are you

424
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 3: doing this? Like I got laundry to do. And then

425
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 3: one time we picked Drew up drunk at tin roof

426
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 3: and brought him to the house.

427
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 6: No, that's the time why I was drunk, definitely, But

428
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 6: you all brought a guy that you thought was my friend.

429
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 3: That's right, Yeah, that's a true story. We spoke. Drew

430
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 3: was at ten roof for like a soccer US soccer guy.

431
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, World Cup started. Barely knew Drew, it's my birthday.

432
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 3: And I went to pick him up to have him

433
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 3: come to the podcast. And this dude just got in

434
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 3: the car with us, and I assumed it was Drew's friend.

435
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 3: It was just a random guy who got in the car.

436
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 3: And then we got out at Hubby's house and there's

437
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 3: just this random guy sitting there and I thought he

438
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 3: was with you all and I thought he was with you.

439
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 6: We didn't know each other very well.

440
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 3: And I looked at Drew and I was like, so,

441
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 3: who's your friend? And Drew's like, I don't know that guy.

442
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 3: I have never heard this story. He's just sitting in

443
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 3: Humby's basement, this random guy. You might be listening right now,

444
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 3: a random guy. And then finally I was like, dude,

445
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 3: you gotta go like you. We don't know you.

446
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 6: I barely knew Hubby, barely knew you.

447
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 4: I've never heard that.

448
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 3: That's awesome. So there you go. If I'm nine two

449
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 3: eight oh twenty two eighty seven. One more thing about

450
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 3: about the deal. I will also be doing a one

451
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 3: hour weekly show that will be non sports where I

452
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 3: interview people. It'll air on WHAS and WLAP, but then

453
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 3: also be available on podcasts that'll start May. But it'll

454
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 3: be like my old Matt Jones podcast, but I'll be

455
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 3: doing that once a week both on on radio but

456
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 3: also on podcasts.

457
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 4: Very cool. I knew you that was in the works.

458
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 4: I don't know if you were ready to announce that,

459
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 4: so I didn't ask you about it. But that's gonna

460
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 4: be something exciting for you to do a different avenue

461
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 4: of what we do here.

462
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 3: Well, and it's it's just gonna be a it will

463
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 3: not be UK sports, It'll get to be other stuff.

495
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 3: All right, One person rites, Matt. I was listening to

496
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 3: the bt I sucks first show. I was a Louisville fan.

497
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 3: When I heard the show was coming on, I thought

498
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 3: it was a Louisville show. I got really mad when

499
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 3: I rosed it was a Kentucky show. But I've still

500
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 3: listened for twenty years, even though I hate Kentucky. That's

501
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 3: what you know you're doing?

502
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 4: Your answer, Yeah, that's a great answer.

503
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 3: What person, rites Matt. First time I heard of KSR

504
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 3: was two thousand and six. I was at a UK

505
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 3: football game and a really attractive woman came and handed

506
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 3: me a piece of paper that said listen to the

507
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 3: Kentucky Sports Radio podcast. It's exactly right. We did do that. Yeah,

508
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,199
Speaker 3: we were trying to figure out how to get the

509
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 3: word out, and me and Hubby and Rob Goodell would

510
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 3: walk around and hand out little cards that said listen

511
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 3: to Kentucky Sports Radio. Nobody cared. Like nobody cared. They

512
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 3: were like, get this dude with the mullet away from me,

513
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 3: Like nobody cared. So then somebody said, you know, you

514
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 3: ought to get women that are attractive to carry it around.

515
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 3: And I knew a young woman in lex in Louisville.

516
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 3: She and her friends. We paid them like fifty dollars

517
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 3: and they each and they walked around. Had a lot

518
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 3: more people take the comments after that was that was

519
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 3: a lot more. That was a good beast of early

520
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 3: marketing to realize you got your money's worth with that

521
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 3: one person that's still listening almost twenty years later. They

522
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 3: had to work twenty years later and they still still

523
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 3: are listening.

524
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 4: Don't feel like we're doing our job. We can get

525
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 4: fans of other teams.

526
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 3: He loves saying that shit and that's the phrase. He

527
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 3: loves the phrase doing our jobs.

528
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 4: Go ahead, older fans, fans of up the teams, they

529
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 4: listen every day or tune in. We know we're doing

530
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 4: our job.

531
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 3: All right, Let's before I go the phones, let's talk

532
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 3: for a second about Mark Pope's radio show last night.

533
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 3: Mark Pope said in his radio show that Lamont Butler

534
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 3: and Jackson Robin Robinson were both progressing to play, which

535
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 3: I think was a very good sign. That's the first

536
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 3: time he's said with Robinson specifically that he thought he

537
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 3: was gonna play. He's kind of hinted that with Butler,

538
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 3: but he did not say it with Robinson. They both are.

539
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 3: This is kind of if you were listening to the

540
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 3: scuttle Button Monday, you kind of heard this. He said.

541
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 3: Butler is practicing, Robinson is starting to practice. No word

542
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 3: on if they play Wednesday. I'm still gonna put my

543
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 3: money on we see Butler against Auburn. I don't know

544
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 3: that we see him tomorrow night, but we'll see Robinson.

545
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 3: I think takes a game or two later. But drew

546
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 3: very good signs at least from Mark Pope's comments last night.

547
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 6: To me, definitely, especially the Robinson part. I've always felt

548
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 6: pretty good about Butler getting back at some point, but

549
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 6: Robinson has been very mysterious and said we're hopeful for both,

550
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 6: and he said Butler was still a little bit limited

551
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 6: and that Jackson is doing skill work, but the fact

552
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 6: that they're both out there practicing is a great sign

553
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 6: with a couple weeks left in the season.

554
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 3: Great sign, exactly what you want to hear. He also

555
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 3: then was asked by a caller. Good question by the

556
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 3: caller about Amary Williams and why doesn't he play more,

557
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 3: and Mark Pope gave his answer. It's not an answer

558
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 3: that I necessarily like, but at least we know the answer,

559
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 3: and it's exactly what the guy who did the TV

560
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 3: told me. He said, we did studies and Amary Williams

561
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 3: is at his most efficient between twenty two and twenty

562
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 3: eight minutes, and we're trying to figure out whether we

563
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 3: can get him to twenty eight or it's more like

564
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 3: twenty two. I didn't like that answer because I think

565
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 3: it needs to be more than twenty eight, and the

566
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 3: fact that twenty two is even on the table. Scares

567
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 3: me a little bit. But he is gonna take the

568
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 3: view that he wants to play these guys at maximum efficiency,

569
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 3: and I think, whereas my inclination would be eighty percent

570
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 3: of Mai is better than one hundred percent Garrison, he's

571
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 3: looking for one hundred percent from everybody, and so I

572
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 3: think that's what we're gonna see. I don't think we're

573
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 3: gonna see more than twenty eight minutes a game from Amari.

574
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 4: With I think Amari, to me, he's been the MVP

575
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 4: of the SEC season during the SEC player, I think

576
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 4: he's been the best player, he says. Butler and Robinson's

577
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 4: been out, He's he's been then the guy. And so

578
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 4: why not, you know, increase your sample size. Then why

579
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 4: not play him over thirty minutes and just see how

580
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 4: he does and maybe maybe they're the stats will move

581
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 4: a little bit for you and you can get you

582
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 4: get more minutes out of him.

583
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 3: Well, but he's not doing that. It was clear when

584
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 3: he said that, he basically was like, this is what

585
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 3: it is, and he seemed it's interesting. I wouldn't use

586
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 3: the word stubborn with Mark Pope because Mark Pope's all

587
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 3: of his opinions I think come from data, and data

588
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 3: can change, whereas I think John Caliperry his opinion wasn't

589
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 3: gonna change no matter what. But I do think my

590
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 3: man is beholden to the data, and I'd rather have

591
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 3: that than somebody just beholden totally their gut. I would

592
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 3: say a mix is probably best, but we are going

593
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 3: to be beholding to the numbers.

594
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, he was ready for that question, saying that it

595
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 6: becomes clear that Amari is not as efficient once he

596
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 6: hits that certain mark, and he's averaging twenty two this season,

597
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 6: so he's on the low end of that twenty two.

598
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 3: To But I would ask him, I would wonder, and

599
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 3: I'm going I want to ask him this during the

600
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 3: off season. Obviously, Amar at like twenty four minutes is

601
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 3: going to be more efficient than Amar at thirty five.

602
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 3: But really, for me, the mathematical question is those eleven

603
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 3: minutes between twenty four and thirty five, is Amari more

604
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 3: efficient than one hundred percent branding Garrison? I mean, to me,

605
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 3: that's the question is, would you what is more efficient

606
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 3: Garrison at his fullest or Amar a little tired? And

607
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 3: I don't know the answer to that. Question.

608
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 4: We've seen Garrett Garrison at times played pretty well, but

609
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 4: the overall I think I would take an eighty percent

610
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 4: of Bari over that.

611
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 3: So that to me, he answered it without answering what

612
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 3: is actually my question about it?

613
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 6: If that makes sense, Yeah, and I would still want

614
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 6: to know, like, do you ever think about the combinations

615
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 6: you have in because Okay, maybe his minutes are never

616
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 6: going to be thirty something, but we all know that

617
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 6: at least once a game we look up and there's

618
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 6: four dudes in they can't guard, or three guys they

619
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 6: can't score, and it's almost like, I wish you would

620
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 6: work on the combos a little more. But obviously he

621
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 6: knows a lot more than I do. And that was

622
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 6: a clear answer if him explaining a question a lot

623
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 6: of people have had.

624
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 3: Uh, So we play Oklahoma on Wednesday. Oklahoma is reeling

625
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 3: their coach. I mean, you want to talk about a

626
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 3: game where the other side has a ton at stake.

627
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 3: Oklahoma beat Mississippi State, so if they can beat us,

628
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 3: I think they got a pretty good shot at the tournament.

629
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 3: Porter Moser, the coach probably needs to make the tournament

630
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 3: to keep his job, So you could make an argument

631
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 3: that that coach which goes into the locker room and says, boys,

632
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 3: we come out of here tonight on ESPN. If we win,

633
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 3: we're in the tournament and I might be your coach

634
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 3: next year. And if we lose, neither of those things

635
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 3: will be true. We better show up because like that's

636
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 3: gonna I mean, they're four and ten, but four and

637
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 3: ten can still make the tournament because they were undefeated

638
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 3: in the non conference.

639
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 4: That's what scares me about this game really. I mean,

640
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 4: you know, we kind of had a little bit of

641
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 4: that and we went down to Texas. It was meant

642
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 4: a lot more to Texas than it did to us.

643
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 4: I kind of feel the same way Tomorrow night, big game.

644
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 4: Fro tega Oway going back to his old school and

645
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 4: playing against his teammates, so maybe he'll be able to

646
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 4: pull everybody through and win the game.

647
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 6: And they showed they're not quitting on moser A Mississippi

648
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 6: State or had them at home, but I mean they

649
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 6: had lost five straight, you know, three and ten at

650
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 6: that point. That could have easily been a time that

651
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 6: they were done. And by beating you know, I think

652
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 6: Missippi State was twenty first. That showed that they're willing

653
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 6: to fight for him because it has not. I mean

654
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 6: when they made that higher, that's the old Loyola coach.

655
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 6: You know, he's got one of the most famous runs

656
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 6: that exist, and they haven't been to the tournament with him.

657
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 6: So do you think seat it's very hot?

658
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 3: Do you think we're an underdog?

659
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 6: Maybe like a point. I think it'll be a very

660
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 6: close spread either way. I would probably make Kentucky give

661
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 6: point and a half, but it won't shock me. I

662
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 6: could be very wrong there. I just it's I don't

663
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 6: know how the Desert reacts to these injuries. Like if

664
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 6: we were healthy, I would definitely think, well, the.

665
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 3: Desert got it wrong last game because they put it

666
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 3: out six and a half and it ended up twelve

667
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 3: and a half at tip and was a thirteen point game,

668
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 3: So the Desert was right.

669
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 6: I had Alabama under ninety six and a half. They

670
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 6: scored ninety six. Ye, nobody scores ninety.

671
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 3: Well, I say the desert Desert got it wrong, but

672
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 3: the Better's got it to where it needed to go.

673
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 3: Who's next? Shit Farmer, Steve, Farmer, Steve, how are you?

00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,439
Speaker 3: was that was the site for a long time.

742
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 4: That was big for a while, Kentucky's Ports Report. I

747
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 4: like it. That's how I found out about it.

748
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 3: When Person Rights twenty fourteen, I was working on a

749
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,439
Speaker 3: garbage truck and the guy I worked with that day

750
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 3: made me listen. I hated him for a while, but

751
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 3: over time I ended up liking one person Rights mad.

752
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 3: I heard a KSR on the Big Blue Dawn documentary

753
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 3: during Cal's first year. You remember that documentary.

754
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 6: I just saw that when I watched it, but I

755
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 6: have it on DVD. That's a documentary.

756
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was the documentary of the of the Wall

757
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 3: Cousins year. I wonder if you can still get that.

758
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 3: I'm not sure. Can I tell everybody about an in

759
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 3: coming disaster that's going to happen two weeks from tomorrow? Uh?

760
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 4: Oh?

761
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 3: So the SEC tournament, you know you can buy passes

762
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,959
Speaker 3: to the whole tournament, but they started a few years ago,

763
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 3: and it has been a pretty good idea. They just

764
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 3: let you in on Wednesday night. A couple of years

765
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 3: they did it for free. Now it's like twenty bucks

766
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 3: or something like that. But there's no assigned seating on

767
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 3: Wednesday night. Well here's a little secret. What if Kentucky

768
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 3: plays Wednesday at one? Okay, what if Kentucky plays Wednesday

769
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:30,760
Speaker 3: at one and fans who have bought seats, your seat

770
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 3: is not a sign for Wednesday night. So your seat

771
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,439
Speaker 3: may say you have a seat on like row one,

772
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 3: but you do not. If you get there, someone may

773
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 3: be sitting there and they take your seat. And a

774
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 3: lot of people, I'll go so far as to say

775
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 3: most people will have no idea and they're gonna come

776
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 3: in and do the whole Uh what Cedric the Entertainer two?

777
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:59,959
Speaker 3: I got those two right here. It's four and five

778
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 3: like one of those. And then they're gonna go, sorry,

779
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,720
Speaker 3: I ain't leaving. When they created that policy, they couldn't

780
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 3: have thought Kentucky was gonna play.

781
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 4: Oh so what if.

782
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 3: The first game, all of you that have books yours

783
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 3: and it'll be on the seat number that you have it,

784
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 3: but you don't have it because it'll be first come,

785
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 3: first serve, and if you're if Kentucky plays on Wednesday

786
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 3: and you're going get there at eleven at whatever that

787
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 3: time they open, you might sit with the best seats

788
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 3: you've ever set for a Kentucky game ever, because it's

789
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 3: first come, first serve. We don't hope, we wish. Yeah,

790
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 3: that's from us, that skit.

791
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 6: I actually told some friends just two days ago. I

792
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 6: was like, Hey, there's a chance Wednesdays in play, and

793
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 6: you can go to ticket Master right now for twenty

794
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 6: American dollars and buy a ticket for general admission and

795
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 6: potentially be watching Kentucky versus who.

796
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 3: Will This is what I would say to all of you.

797
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 3: Mississippi State and US are Todd. If we finish Todd,

798
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 3: we will be one ahead of them. But their schedule's easy.

799
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 3: If we lose Tomorrow night, there's a decent chance we're

800
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 3: playing on Wednesday now. I want us to win Tomorrow night,

801
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 3: but if we lose, I would get on Ticketmaster right

802
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 3: after the game and just buy a Wednesday Sea. It's

803
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 3: twenty bucks. You might have a chance to sit in

804
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,800
Speaker 3: the front row for a Kentucky game because it's general admission.

805
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 3: So I think, I mean, for me, what's the worst

806
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 3: that happens? You end up going col might be playing

807
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:36,800
Speaker 3: that round anyway, right, But there is a real chance

808
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 3: that there is going to be absolute chaos in Nashville

809
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:46,399
Speaker 3: Wednesday at one o'clock because Kentucky might play for a

810
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 3: general admission game that hasn't whin's the When has Kentucky

811
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 3: played where it's general admission?

812
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,399
Speaker 4: I don't know I ever ever, even Blue White game

813
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 4: you've got assigned z's.

814
00:38:58,000 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 6: I'm shocked they didn't change the policy with the new

815
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 6: format where there's more games, I mean, there's gonna be

816
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 6: ranked teams on Wednesday. I'm surprised they're doing general missions.

817
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 3: So I would just say to you, if we lose

818
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 3: tomorrow night, you should be upset, but get on Ticketmaster.

819
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 3: You'll never see a Kentucky First of all, you'll they'll

820
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 3: change this rule if this happens. Yeah, they will, which

821
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 3: means you'll never see a Kentucky game ever again for

822
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 3: this cost us and then the postseason, yeah, come on.

823
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 3: So just a little heads up of what what could

824
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 3: be to come if we lose tomorrow night. Who's next?

825
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:31,800
Speaker 1: Mark Anthony?

826
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 3: Mark Anthony, how are.

827
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 8: You big Good morning, Matthew Andrew Shannon. Hey, Matt, I'm

828
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 8: so happy were going to have another five years. But

829
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 8: it brought me to my question. You said that you

830
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,240
Speaker 8: were on the fence at the end of last season

831
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 8: and Mark Pope was announced as the coach, which may

832
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 8: have had you leaning a little bit one way until

833
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 8: the show the following day when everything was positive and

834
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 8: then the introduction and when Rupp was packed, people were

835
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:06,879
Speaker 8: down crazy and a little thing happened. They introduced Matt

836
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 8: Jones to the crowd and he was warmly received. So

837
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 8: tell me, Matt, had that not happened, do you think

838
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 8: maybe we wouldn't have another five years. I just well,

839
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 8: I mean it.

840
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 3: Wasn't I mean, the applause was awesome and I'll remember

841
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 3: that for the rest of my life, but that it

842
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 3: wasn't that particular thing. So I've talked about this, but

843
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 3: I appreciate the call. I get a call on Mark

844
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 3: or Mark uh excuse me. John cal Perry does his

845
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,240
Speaker 3: interview with Mitch Barnhart on Tuesday. I think that airs

846
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 3: Tuesday night. On Wednesday, I get a phone call that

847
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:43,839
Speaker 3: basically says, hey, let's be really careful, what's going on.

848
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 3: Because they're trying to really force our hand. And you know,

849
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 3: we don't have to go into the details of the

850
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:53,359
Speaker 3: phone call, but it was not positive. And that night

851
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 3: I talked to one of my friends and I was like,

852
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 3: I think I'm done. You know what, there's no I'm

853
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 3: not gonna fight with this dude for another two years.

854
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 3: I'm done. So next day I call my boss and

855
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,439
Speaker 3: I'm like, you know what, if they push it, don't

856
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 3: worry about it. Just tell them it's fine. I'm and

857
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,839
Speaker 3: he was and she was like, just wait, wait, you're

858
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 3: taking a vacation. Let's talk about it after the vacation.

859
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 3: Don't make a rash decision. And I said, you know,

860
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 3: that's probably the right way to look at it. And

861
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 3: then three days later the whole thing changes and it

862
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 3: and and all of a sudden, my viewpoint of it flipped.

863
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 3: And then once I was on vacation, I was like, yeah,

864
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 3: I'd like to do it again.

865
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, we all had private conversation with

866
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 4: you you.

867
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:43,240
Speaker 3: I mean, people may or may not, but but like again,

868
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 3: it's over, and I don't want it to be like

869
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 3: Mario's not here to tape it, so it's not a

870
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 3: big deal, but like it, Folks don't realize and it

871
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 3: wasn't just me. Folks don't realize what that last year

872
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 3: or two was like the idea that the Internet sometimes

873
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 3: acted like like everybody just created this out of nowhere.

874
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 3: How many people left their jobs in the last two

875
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 3: years to get out of that basketball office. We had

876
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 3: a life on Kentucky fan decided to go to North Carolina.

877
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,919
Speaker 3: We had one guy get out of the business completely

878
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 3: to go like work at a blood center. Like it

879
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 3: was bad. Okay, so it worked out really well. I

880
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 3: think for everybody, we're gonna take a break and be

881
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 3: right back. This is our number two. This is Kentucky

882
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 3: Sports Radio.
