We I was just thinking when we pulled up here, 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:10.280 I was with Mario and I said, we haven't really 0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:13.240 in the last year so been out in the state 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:17.200 as much as we usually are. And I said, what 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:19.240 a great place to go is Owensboro where you've always 0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:20.039 got a great crowd. 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:21.640 And look at this group this morning. 0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:24.920 Fifty five degrees out here and everybody's sitting and enjoying it. 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:26.760 Yeah, it kind of feels like it's it's November. It's 0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:28.520 a little chilly out here today. But it's been a 0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:31.119 minute since we've been in Owensboro. Yeah, you're pretty regularly, 0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:31.840 but it's been a minute. 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:35.720 This is your stomping ground here in Owensboro. Ryan went 0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:41.480 to Kentucky Wesley in college. K Dub's right, k Dub drew. 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.160 You know the over the years we've been here a 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.240 lot for various things. You know, you got the the 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.560 barbecue festivals this week here, is that right? 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:51.320 You had a lot of country music. 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:55.120 History, NASCAR history here in Owensboro. I was telling Mario's 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.800 we drove in Rex Chapman from here, and he said, really, 0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:01.560 we drove by French Lick where Larry Byrd there by 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:03.440 the exit for French like a lot of history up 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:03.760 this way. 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:05.960 Yeah, it's not my hometown, but not too far away, 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.800 so I have a lot of fond memories here, like 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:11.160 Ryan and maybe even you. I didn't necessarily dress for 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:14.080 this morning's weather. I transferred to borrow code from doctor 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:16.160 Skaggs over here. But it's a great crowd, great to 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:19.120 be here in Owensborough. I forgot, uh forgot. 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:20.840 I didn't think. I didn't know this would be outside, 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:22.600 so I would have packed some different clothes. 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:25.720 These are These are Arizona clothes, not exactly the same thing. 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:27.320 And I didn't feel like I could pull. 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:29.639 Out the swede jacket or maybe I should during one 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:31.760 of the breaks and just wear that when when we're 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:33.959 doing it. Well, we are into Kentucky Skins Cancer Center, 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:36.080 and I have to tell you, I didn't really know 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:38.840 what this building would be when I got here, but 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:41.040 I got it. It's much nicer than I would have 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:44.440 even imagined. Here where Kentucky Skin Cancer centered. They do 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.399 uh check on to see if you have any potential 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.519 uh dermat dermatological issues. 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:53.280 But you could also get facials. It's also a wellness place. 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:55.959 I mean, this is really really nice here in Owensboro 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:58.400 and you have already gotten a facial this morning, right. 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.680 You know they look younger than I I can remember 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:01.440 in a long time. 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:03.400 I know all of you keep saying I'm glowing, and 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:06.240 I feel like I am glowing. It was wonderful. Crystal 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:09.240 gave me my facial. It was wonderful, my first I've 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:11.360 ever had. And I'm gonna get more and more and more. 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.960 You're glow, glowry a little bit. 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:18.200 That's good. I'm glad. Uh. Well, you know, I we 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:20.240 when we were in Arizona. 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:22.160 There was a spa there that did facials, and I 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:24.120 have to tell you I walked in the spa at 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:25.200 the resort in Arizona. 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:27.080 I think this one is just as nice. 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:30.480 And you can also get screened for skin cancer issues, 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:32.919 et cetera. Billy had the doctor on. This is run 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:35.360 by folks who went to UK and we thank you 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.560 all very much. They call themselves the chick fil A 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:41.080 of Dermatology, which I don't know exactly what that means, 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.200 but it means it's probably efficient and well run. 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:46.520 Closed on Sundays, close on Sunday. The Lord. 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:49.240 The Lord does not want to facial on Sunday. I 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:51.520 also got a facial. I have to say, I that 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:53.360 might have been the best nap I've had in years. 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:54.800 I had to get up at five am to be 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:57.160 here in the moment she hit that calming music and 0:03:57.240 --> 0:03:58.120 put the towel on me. 0:03:58.600 --> 0:03:59.320 It was night night. 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:01.120 I'm not even into really sure I know what happened, 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:02.280 but it was an awesome experience. 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:05.560 Well, let me first of all, thank Mario. He picked 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:08.320 me up at the airport at eleven o'clock last night 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:12.360 in Cincinnati, Ohio, and we drove through. 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:15.520 The night to get here, drove down to Louisville. 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.039 And then through Southern Indiana. We were in the middle 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:20.760 of Southern Indiana, which if you've made that drive from 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:23.960 Louisville to Saint Louis on sixty four, before you get 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:29.800 off that is a really dark, desolate area, and then 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:32.839 when you turn off the interstate before you get to 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:38.279 the Owensboro gambling facilit that is a really dark area 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:39.159 on that drive. 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:41.680 And Mario just looked at me and goes, where are 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.800 you taking me? During all this? And I could see 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:45.520 why I'd forgot. 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:47.800 You don't normally make that drive in daytime, but there 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:49.640 is nothing between Louisville and. 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:52.520 Owensboro at a lot of desolate space. 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.320 Yeah, once you pass Cordon, there is nothing. Even the 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:57.440 exits don't have anything there. So you better make sure 0:04:57.440 --> 0:04:59.000 you got enough gas to get all the way to 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:00.760 ferdnon Dale Santa claus A. 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:04.560 And we barely did. And that's the other things. There's nowhere, 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:07.960 there's nowhere to style. So we pulled into the hotel 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:10.960 there next to I guess the Texas Roadhouse and I 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:13.880 we were on fumes. But we got here and glad 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:16.479 to be here this morning after being in Arizona the 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:16.960 other day. 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:18.359 Ryan, there's a ton of. 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:21.320 Stuff to go into, but I probably the biggest news 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:25.800 again Kentucky and the world waits till right after the 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:29.240 show ends to break news. The new pope was picked 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:33.120 right after the show, first American pope of all time. 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:34.120 A couple of. 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:38.000 Things I found interesting about it. He's from Chicago. The 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:41.560 Cubs claimed him as a fan, and then his brother 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:44.080 went on TV and said, uh uh, he's not gonna 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:45.839 say it, but he's actually a white Sox fan. 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:47.159 The Cubs need to take it back. 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:50.240 So the Cubs took an l yesterday and then he 0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:53.560 went to Villanova, like he just went to Villanova where 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:56.120 he's they showed his yearbook first. Of all, people in 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:58.320 the seventies looked a lot older when they were in college. 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:01.039 He looked forty five in his yearbook. But his name 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:04.479 is was just Bob. So Bob from Villanova is the 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:07.840 new Pope. I find that really funny. Just Bob who 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:10.480 eating Chicago pizza and Villanova's your newest Pope. 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:12.280 That was my biggest takeaway on the show. Earl the 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:14.680 This week we're reading the candidates and it's Pizza, Balla 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:15.800 and Pietro, and. 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:18.320 Then we just end up with Bob. You know, Oh Bob, 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:21.080 I'm up the South Side. It's weird. They were interviewing 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:21.559 his brother. 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:23.760 He seemed like a normal guy, and I know, at 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:25.240 the end of the day, the pope is just a 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:28.159 human being. But there's something about just his brother sitting 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:30.760 there in the background with a Walter Payton shirt and. 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.240 Just being like, yeah, Bob, you know, we didn't think 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:34.680 he was gonna be pope. We just thought he was 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:36.760 gonna be Bob. 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:39.080 He's in Florida when he did that interview with Yeah, 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:40.160 he's just hanging out. 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:42.880 I'm sorry, I gotta got tea time at three point thirty, 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:43.520 I gotta go. 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:45.720 You know, it's it's nuts. 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:48.159 I'm glad to hear him. They say he's a white 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:50.000 Sox fan, because there's no way a bunch of Cardinals 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:52.080 would have hired a Cub fan to be pope. 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:54.640 Oh goodness, you waited for that one, dude, Thank you, 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:57.080 thank you very much. I can be here all day. 0:06:57.320 --> 0:06:57.760 It's funny. 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:00.280 I could see your brain spinning the whole time I 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:02.839 was talking. I think you're gonna make some inappropriate joke 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:03.920 and it was just stupid. 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:07.919 But but I guess the crowd seem to like it, 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:08.680 so there you go. 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:11.360 But uh, Shaner Sanders also caught a lot of strange Yes, 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:13.440 and if you're on Twitter, lots of memes. It took 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:16.520 two days to pick a pope, three days to draft Anders, 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:19.200 a lot of stuff like that. That's also I'm not 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:20.800 I'm not encouraging it, but there was a lot of it. 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:21.120 Yeah. 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:25.120 Well, the uh, I will say, I watched, Uh, I 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:27.440 watched on my phone. I watched the whole thing happen, 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:30.520 and I'm not. I'm not Catholic, so you know, it's 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:33.480 it doesn't have the religious significance. But I actually thought 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:36.120 it was a really kind of powerful thing, all those 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:39.320 people standing there, and then he comes out and he's 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:42.880 clearly overcome with emotion. You know, they go into that conclave. 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:44.400 We've watched the show, so we know, we know all 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:47.560 about it, and he probably he wasn't even one of 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.160 the top ten choices on the board. He's like rich 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:53.800 strike coming from behind at eighty to one and he 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:57.160 gets it. That had to be like a crazy, overpowering moment. 0:07:57.200 --> 0:07:59.240 And I thought it was really neat watching all those people, 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:02.720 you know, crying, just sitting there or standing there on 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:03.119 the crowd. 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:03.920 I thought it was really neat. 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:06.000 It is kind of powerful when you see they interview 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:08.480 the people that are there in Saint Peter's Basilica and 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:10.600 in the square in the Vatican and they are just 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:12.520 bawling because they just want to feel a part of 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:14.880 what's going on. Election of a new pope. Watched the 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:16.680 smoke come out of the chimney, so it is kind 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:17.480 of an I. 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:20.120 Saw the smoke that felt like just regular smoke. I 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:21.640 feel like, if they're gonna do it, they got to 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:23.920 have better smoke. It felt like literally they may have 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:25.200 just had a fireplace on. 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:30.240 It didn't I was expecting a huge plume of smoke. 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:32.160 That really hasn't how they do it. 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:34.400 And I wondered, like, when he walks out for the Granderville, 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:36.319 does anyone at that point know who he is? 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:39.320 Just so you're cheering, We're like, I don't know who 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:39.640 that is? 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:43.600 That Bob, that pizza balla And they were like, hey, 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:45.720 wait a minute, that's Bob. We were in front together 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:48.439 at Villanova. How did he end up? How did he 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:49.000 end up there? 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:49.240 Well? 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:52.160 It was it was neat to watch. I don't remember 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:54.840 there ever being this much interest in one before, do you. 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:57.040 I mean in terms of like people talking about it's 0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:57.920 got to be because. 0:08:57.720 --> 0:08:59.560 Of the movie, the movie, the popularity of the movie. 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:01.800 You know, it's it's got to recycled again. Now it's 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.160 number one on Netflix or whatever the streaming sirs it's on. 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:07.560 So it is kind of but clearly somebody knew, because 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:08.960 I don't know, if you saw, you know, you could 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:11.679 you could gamble on it. There was somebody that bet 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:15.760 fifteen thousand dollars on him and ended up winning like 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:19.559 one hundred and seventy five thousand dollars on him being picked. 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:21.560 So I feel like they had a secret. There was 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:22.679 some insider trading. 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:25.600 I need conclave too to investigate this, like does someone 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:27.679 really on the inside on their phone stepping in the 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:29.199 room and betting are they sending out? 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:31.200 I want to send a little bird out with the message. 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:34.360 A significant amount of money, So congrats, And I know 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:37.959 I saw Tony Venetti and a couple of Catholic people 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:39.920 write how powerful it was to them, so I hope 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:42.160 they enjoyed it now. At the same time, it got 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:45.400 overshadowed a little bit because it's not quite as important. 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:50.840 There was a decision that's not official, but it's kind 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:54.240 of official coming that I think is huge for UK football. 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:56.680 Some of the bet UK football has not had good 0:09:56.760 --> 0:10:00.480 news in the last three or four year, or at 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:01.640 least two or three years. 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:03.400 I actually thought this was good news. 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:09.160 The playoff committee has decided to probably go to sixteen teams, 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:12.960 not next year but the year after, so twenty five 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:15.680 to twenty six. But the reason I think it's really 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:18.040 good news for Kentucky is how they're gonna pick them. 0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:21.439 They're gonna be at least four SEC teams that are 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:25.840 guaranteed a spot. Still that's hard for Kentucky probably to make. 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:30.440 But each conference has decided that when the championship game 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:32.200 occurs with one versus two. 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.680 The team that comes in third in the SEC will 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:38.440 play the team that comes in six that weekend. 0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:40.880 The team that comes in fourth will play in the 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:43.400 team that comes in fifth, and there's essentially a play 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:46.160 in game for now for the playoffs. So if you 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:50.240 are in the top six in the SEC, you can 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:52.240 have a chance at the playoffs. So you don't just 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:53.560 have to come in the top four. You can come 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:55.720 in the top six and even if you lost that game, 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:58.720 you could still get in as a wild card. But 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:01.880 you know, Ryan, we've talked over the years, would Kentucky 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:05.079 ever make the playoff in our lifetime? And the answer 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:10.000 for me has generally been no. When they expanded, I thought, wow, 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:13.360 in a perfect world, maybe, but you're still looking at 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:15.800 having to go nine and three or something like that. 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:20.000 We've done that before, but sixth place. I've gone back 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:23.640 through the years, Kentucky would have made the playoff that 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:27.480 Josh Allen Benny Snell year. We would have been in 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:30.280 that play in game for the playoff that year. So 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:32.839 I do feel like this is big news. There is 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:35.760 I do think there's a year where you have ten 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:38.360 teams or twelve, you know, in a ten or twelve 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:41.920 year period where Kentucky could find themselves at least once 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:42.520 in that spot. 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:44.760 I'm with you for the first time ever, I think 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:47.160 I feel like there's a possibility Kentucky could make the 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:48.320 football Not this year. 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:50.480 To be clear, I don't think it's happening this year, 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:52.240 but I do think there is a year. 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:54.319 Yeah, like you mentioned that year they won ten games. 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:56.320 There's been a couple of seasons where they were good 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:58.079 enough and maybe they win a game here there. Yes, 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:00.880 they're in the conversation, and now they've expanded playoffs. It's 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:03.199 absolutely a possibility they get one of those good years 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:04.120 they could make the playoffs. 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:07.520 I mean, there are eight conference games. There have been 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:10.959 years where going five and three in conference could have 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:14.520 if you won the tiebreaker, made you six. And you know, again, 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:18.120 I don't think that's likely, but I do think drew 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:20.080 for the first time. Depending on how long we live, 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:24.520 we might see a year that we're in that playing 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:26.640 game to get to play for a playoff. 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:28.800 Yeah, I don't think we're ever gonna get in with 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:32.560 the current format, So anything that expands our opportunities, especially 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:35.320 now when the postseason football, if. 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:36.640 You're not really in contentions. 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:38.400 There's just more opt out, so it doesn't feel as 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:40.320 meaningful as it used to unless you're in like a 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:42.080 Citrus Bowl, which we were looking to have few years ago. 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:44.840 But anything to get us some extra football that matters 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:46.520 with Kentucky, I think that'd be awesome. 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:49.880 I think it's great news. Now are you just overall 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:53.040 put Kentucky out of it? Do you like going to sixteen? 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:55.360 I mean, now you're gonna make it to where the 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:58.199 big programs really got to screw up to not make 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:00.200 the sixteen. Do you think it makes the red or 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:01.320 season less valuable? 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:04.199 I don't. Only we kind of like tournaments. We like 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:06.439 the season ding tournaments, and you know, by expanding and 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:09.240 we just get more opportunity to have good games. So 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:10.800 I'm all for it absolutely. 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:14.600 I mean I thought last year, even though the playoff 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:17.160 games weren't very good, it was exciting, and people who 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:20.079 said the regular season would be devalued, I didn't feel 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:22.480 like it was. It had highest ratings of all time. 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:25.280 I mean, I just think we're a culture that likes tournaments, 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:28.120 so why not make as big a tournament as you can? 0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:31.520 I mean, last year you cared about Indiana regular season 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:33.079 games whereas you would not have. 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:36.079 Otherwise, and that was because of the expanded playoffs. Yeah, 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:36.920 I loved it last year. 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:38.920 I mean, there were a few early blowouts that weren't 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:41.800 that entertaining, but just even having a Cinderella with the 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:44.160 opportunity like in Indiana, just think, I really really think 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:44.760 it adds to it. 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:46.199 After we had, however. 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:49.040 Many years it was Alabama and Clemson and Georgia opening 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:51.439 the field. At least give some teams a chance to dream. Yeah, 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:53.920 I totally agree with you. Now, Shandon's gonna join us 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:56.840 in a minute. He is getting his facial right now. 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:57.640 It's so good. 0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:00.679 I asked Mario if he wanted one. Marrio was like, no, 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:02.880 I don't want that. They got you all got to 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:03.760 talk you into it. 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:06.240 Mario needs Mario needs a facial. 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:08.680 He's never we had to get We had to stay 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:09.960 up late off to see the doctor. 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:12.000 There it is. 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:14.280 We'll take a break. We'll be right back here at 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:15.640 the Kentucky Skincare Center. 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:21.000 It's KSR work. I'm back.

Thank you very much the 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:19.200 Kentucky Skincare Center, UH for for bringing us here. Also, 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:22.000 I said this on social media, but signed to do 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:25.640 another year at ESPN with Meron Metcalf on Sunday Mornings, 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:29.760 which I lash I'm excited about another year of Sunday mornings, 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:31.800 of not having the Sunday morning off. But I mean, 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:35.520 I'm looking forward to it. Mario and I drove yesterday. 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:38.480 When we got in the car in Cincinnati, Meyern metcalf 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:40.960 was on the radio, and when we got out, he 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:43.520 was still on the radio and he was still talking 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:46.320 about Steph curR and he was still talking about Draymond Green, 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:48.480 And I thought, Man, when does that that dude works 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:49.840 more than I do on this stuff. 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:51.880 Maybe you'll have to bring him back for a merry Monday. 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:55.000 I know everyone enjoyed him on these airwaves last summer too. 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:58.120 He became a big part of the KSR group last summer. 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:02.240 Two couple open lines, give us a shout and take 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:05.440 your calls. They just announced this morning it was broken 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:10.800 you and c Ryan has banned Bill Belichick's girlfriend from 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:19.280 coming to practice anymore. So, first of all, what an 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:23.360 amazing just story, like you know, a story has reached 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:25.840 out when like my mom is asking me about it, 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:28.120 I mean that this isn't a I mean, this is 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:30.680 amazing that this has becomes such a big thing. Now 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:34.120 banned from practice? U that was Now some people are 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:39.080 disputing that, but Pablo Torre says, for sure, they interviewed people, 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:42.560 you know, from where they met, all this stuff. Still dating, 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:45.600 but banned from practice. What do you make about that 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:47.600 part of the Belichick story. 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:50.280 I mean, it's something that absolutely need to be done. 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:52.440 It had become a circus and it was more about 0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:54.840 her and him than him in the football program. So 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:56.640 he's there for to do a job, and that's to 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:59.400 coach the football program, not babysit her. 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:05.840 Oscar, he wasn't babysity. Sounded like she was babysitting him. 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:08.560 It is interesting how the story is flipped because when 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:12.320
