Speaker 1: is brought to you by ital X Fine Italian Dining
Speaker 1: in Lexington, open for lunch Wednesday through Sunday and also
Speaker 1: a great dinner spot if you're in the city. Good morning, Shannon,
Speaker 1: It's good to see you, buddy. What's up very Hey?
Speaker 2: You doing well?
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 3: Got my silk socks on? Ready to go for another
Speaker 3: pre show this morning?
Speaker 1: Stop it? Why is that my first topic on my
Speaker 1: list that I looked up bamboo socks yesterday after the show, Shannon,
Speaker 1: come on, Pam read in my mind.
Speaker 3: Uh, you know, I bought a bamboo shirt before in
Speaker 3: the past, and you know, it looked really cool. It
Speaker 3: looked good enough to sell me on it. But then
Speaker 3: when I got it and rent it through the laundry
Speaker 3: recycle a few times. It got all these little bitty
Speaker 3: like little fur balls on them, you know that pop
Speaker 3: up when you do the laundry.
Speaker 1: Okay, I know, yeah, I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, So I had to throw the shirt away.
Speaker 3: So my thoughts on bamboo. I don't have bamboo socks,
Speaker 3: but shirts. It's a no go for me because of
Speaker 3: my one experience with that.
Speaker 2: But bamboo sheets, Oh yeah, we're talking.
Speaker 1: Let me ring the bell for you here.
Speaker 2: I've got some bamboo sheets. Those are good. I've got them.
Speaker 1: Yes. The fiance always hooks us up with the best mattresses,
Speaker 1: the best pillows, and she came home one day with
Speaker 1: some bamboo sheets. Changed our lives. Shannon, So, I wanted
Speaker 1: to start the show with saying what can't bamboo do?
Speaker 1: But apparently you can't run it through the dryer too
Speaker 1: many times or you'll get the fuzzy things. Yeah a shirt, yeah,
Speaker 1: Shannon said, But you know, bamboo is a substitute for
Speaker 1: wood when you're building things. It's something that you can eat.
Speaker 1: It's also the fastest growing plant on Earth. It can
Speaker 1: grow up to three feet a day, so it's incredible.
Speaker 1: All the things that you can do with bamboo. Did
Speaker 1: not know that there was a market for socks out there,
Speaker 1: but it sounds like I think a lot of people
Speaker 1: in Kentucky learned that yesterday when Matt talked about his
Speaker 1: trip to Amsterdam.
Speaker 2: Yeah, three feet a day? Is that right? Like bamboo,
Speaker 2: I knew it grew quickly, but.
Speaker 1: Feet a day?
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 1: Or it's possible to get up to three feet a day.
Speaker 1: Kind of varies.
Speaker 3: So if I put some bamboo in my backyard, like
Speaker 3: within two days, I've got six feet of bamboo.
Speaker 1: Neighbors aren't going to be seen if you post it
Speaker 1: on the fence.
Speaker 2: No, don't worry about.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna chop it down and mix socks out of it.
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of purposes you can use it for.
Speaker 1: But it sounds like we need to get on the
Speaker 1: bamboo sock train. Today is Wednesday, April twenty third, and
Speaker 1: the transfer portal is closed. It's closed, folks. You can
Speaker 1: no longer enter the portal. Now. There's going to be
Speaker 1: plenty of movement still in the coming days and weeks,
Speaker 1: but Shannon, finally the portal has closed. It seemed like
Speaker 1: a very long two and a half three week period,
Speaker 1: and we got some more movement in it yesterday that
Speaker 1: we'll talk about in just a bit. But we just
Speaker 1: live in crazy times, do we not. It's just this
Speaker 1: transfer portal thing is odd, and we finally see it
Speaker 1: to a close today, even though we'll still see some
Speaker 1: movement in the coming days.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: That is college sports the way it is now, and
Speaker 3: I think for the foreseeable future, it's just going to
Speaker 3: be every off season dealing with literally thousands of players
Speaker 3: jumping in the transfer portal. And you know, like I
Speaker 3: was one that was always for the transfer portal. I've
Speaker 3: always said, if college coaches can come and go as
Speaker 3: they please, players should be allowed to do the same thing.
Speaker 3: But I'll tell you this nil situation on top of
Speaker 3: it just throws in an all new mix. You know,
Speaker 3: not only are players leaving because maybe they're unhappy, but
Speaker 3: they're also leaving because they can get more money.
Speaker 2: And you know, it's the free market. It's the way
Speaker 2: of the world.
Speaker 3: You know, if you and I want to leave and
Speaker 3: go get a better job somewhere with more money, you're
Speaker 3: free to do it. So that's sort of what college
Speaker 3: sports has become.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm not really going to get paid money
Speaker 1: to do one hour of work per day, Shannon, I
Speaker 1: mean it might be tough for Billy Arschae.
Speaker 2: You got it made, You got it made.
Speaker 1: We're not going to get into that. But if with
Speaker 1: the trans portal closing today, if you were to look
Speaker 1: at most websites official rankings, Kentucky has get ready for
Speaker 1: this in the number one transfer portal class number one boom.
Speaker 2: How about that, man?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you look at all the experience that
Speaker 3: they've brought in. A guy from a national championship team,
Speaker 3: has that pedigree to go along with him, and another
Speaker 3: transfer from Alabama, very good Alabama team. You get throw
Speaker 3: on some of these mid major players as well. I mean,
Speaker 3: it worked out pretty well for Mark Pope in one season,
Speaker 3: and that was throwing it all together very quickly. He
Speaker 3: had an entire recruiting cycle to put this team together,
Speaker 3: and you know, I think we should all be really
Speaker 3: excited about what's ahead for next season.
Speaker 1: Now, teams will still sign players, so that is not
Speaker 1: the final ranking, but as of right now, if you
Speaker 1: were to looking on three starts, Kentucky is number one.
Speaker 1: There were still some movement in the final day of
Speaker 1: the transfer portal yesterday Boogie Fland entered it from Arkansas.
Speaker 1: Walker Horn and Grant Darbyshire both have entered the portal
Speaker 1: show I know to see them go, but also Travis Perry,
Speaker 1: the eleventh hour addition to the Transfer portal, will Live,
Speaker 1: will be leaving Kentucky. Played in thirty one games, averaged
Speaker 1: two point seven points per game in nine point seven minutes,
Speaker 1: but he was thrusted into a starting role at times,
Speaker 1: started three straight games during SEC play. Also started in
Speaker 1: the SEC Tournament when Kentucky took on Bama. Obviously a
Speaker 1: Kentucky kid in the all time scoring record holder in
Speaker 1: the state of Kentucky for high school. But Shannon, what
Speaker 1: were your thoughts when you heard the news that Travis
Speaker 1: Perry would be leaving the Cats last night?
Speaker 3: Slightly surprised, not like, you know, over the top shocked,
Speaker 3: but you know, this is a Kentucky kid who knows
Speaker 3: what it's who knows what it means to put on
Speaker 3: that Kentucky jersey. And I guess he just saw the
Speaker 3: writing on the wall, you know, with the guards that
Speaker 3: Pope has brought in through the Transfer portal, looked at
Speaker 3: it and said, well, my minutes will probably be really limited.
Speaker 3: But you know, again it comes down to I just
Speaker 3: I see so many times players just entering the transfer portal.
Speaker 3: It's the easy way out. I don't know, like whatever
Speaker 3: came to, you know, whatever happened to fighting for your
Speaker 3: spot on the team, you know, I don't know. Maybe
Speaker 3: he just feels like he wants to go somewhere. Obviously
Speaker 3: he does. He feels like he wants to go somewhere else.
Speaker 3: I just don't know where that somewhere else is going
Speaker 3: to be where he's going to get more playing time
Speaker 3: unless he takes a big step down to maybe like
Speaker 3: a mid major type of school.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's tough being a freshman in college athletics
Speaker 1: trying to play at a blue blood nowadays, because you
Speaker 1: can so much easier over recruit these guys, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: you can bring in a guy with national championship experience,
Speaker 1: was the sixth man on the national title winning Florida Gators,
Speaker 1: and you're gonna want to play him a little bit
Speaker 1: more than a sophomore Travis Perry who was still adjusting
Speaker 1: to the physicality of the game and still learning what
Speaker 1: he is good at, even though we do know he
Speaker 1: can shoot that damn ball, My funky rooster brethren is
Speaker 1: leaving me. Shannon, No, hopefully he doesn't go far. I
Speaker 1: think my first thought when he went to the portal
Speaker 1: was come on down to the Hilltoppers.
Speaker 2: All the Hilltoppers.
Speaker 1: I stared, Kentucky, come on down to Bowling Green. It's
Speaker 1: not too far.
Speaker 2: That could.
Speaker 3: I don't know what Western Kentucky Basketball's roster looks like,
Speaker 3: but I could definitely see them making a spot for
Speaker 3: Travis pier.
Speaker 1: We got a spot for him. We got a spot,
Speaker 1: no matter what. Okay, no, no matter what. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is the all time leave scorer. Shannon gets some
Speaker 1: respect on TP's name. Now, I've seen a lot of
Speaker 1: people say this is a bad move by Mark Pope
Speaker 1: to force out Travis Perry. I don't think that was
Speaker 1: the case. Some reporting by Jack Pilgrim on Kezar plus
Speaker 1: seem to believe that this was a surprise too many
Speaker 1: on the Kentucky coaching staff. They wanted to go into
Speaker 1: the season with the role that they had Travis Perry
Speaker 1: ready to fill. But like you said, Shannon, I kind
Speaker 1: of get it. I mean, despite your love for a university,
Speaker 1: if you see the the quote writing on the wall
Speaker 1: that you're gonna get maybe two three minutes of playing
Speaker 1: time unless you have a ton of injuries to the
Speaker 1: guard spot. Why not go play somewhere else and make
Speaker 1: that money and do what you wanted to do at
Speaker 1: that level. I get what you're saying. You know, the
Speaker 1: kids don't stay and they're not going to fight for
Speaker 1: a spot anymore. But in today's landscape, I can't blame
Speaker 1: a kid for making this kind of decision, you know.
Speaker 3: I mean, if you look at last season, though, did
Speaker 3: we really expect Travis Perry to play at all?
Speaker 2: I know, I know, you know, injuries factored in, No injuries.
Speaker 3: Factored in, and you know, I think he took advantage
Speaker 3: of those of those minutes that he had. But you know,
Speaker 3: let's not act like we're going to go through an
Speaker 3: entire season without one injury. I mean, is there ever
Speaker 3: a season that goes by where somebody doesn't get banged
Speaker 3: up a little bit to the point to where you
Speaker 3: have to go next.
Speaker 2: Man up on the bench. Never.
Speaker 1: I mean, you're gonna have to have depth. Yeah, that's important.
Speaker 1: But Kentucky's got like thirteen guys that.
Speaker 3: Can play now, Shannon, Yeah, So why don't you just
Speaker 3: work on your game and improve your game to the
Speaker 3: point to where you're not the thirteenth man off the bench.
Speaker 2: You know, you're a guy that's fighting for playing time.
Speaker 3: But now it's like you said, well, it doesn't look
Speaker 3: like I'm going to get any minutes. Let me just
Speaker 3: go over here instead. It's too easy.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I would think that the nil money, though, would be
Speaker 3: better at Kentucky than anywhere else. I mean, you're a
Speaker 3: Kentucky guy. You know, you got this in your blood.
Speaker 3: And now let's say you go transfer to I don't know,
Speaker 3: I have no idea. Let's just throw a name out there, Dayton,
Speaker 3: Okay or Xavier. You're not gonna get the Nile money
Speaker 3: there that you would get here as a Kentucky guy.
Speaker 1: So no, But these guys are competitors, right, and I
Speaker 1: mean to a degree. I think you know, if you
Speaker 1: ask the man to man when the lights aren't on,
Speaker 1: they want to play right. The money's nice, and that's
Speaker 1: obviously a sticking point with a lot of people, but
Speaker 1: there's also a reason why people are like, how many
Speaker 1: starting minutes are you gonna give me? Because these guys
Speaker 1: want to go to a place where they can play now.
Speaker 1: You know, I think we could see a trend out
Speaker 1: of this where freshmen probably start going to mid majors
Speaker 1: because they're not going to play at the Saint John's right,
Speaker 1: They're not going to just start at Kentucky unless you
Speaker 1: are a consensus top five pick in the NBA draft.
Speaker 1: So maybe that does help schools like Eastern and Western
Speaker 1: and maybe even a Bellerman get some talent that they
Speaker 1: wouldn't in the past. Hell, maybe Travis comes back, Shannon,
Speaker 1: maybe he goes to Western for a couple of years
Speaker 1: and there's a spot at Kentucky when he's a.
Speaker 2: Little bit better to never know, it could always happen.
Speaker 2: That's why you never burn a bridge.
Speaker 3: If you're a coach or a recruiter, you know, you
Speaker 3: see Vince Merrow, Vince you.
Speaker 2: Know, go out, go out and get guys.
Speaker 3: And you know always stays in contact with him. You're
Speaker 3: always constantly recruiting that. You know, the recruiting season never ends.
Speaker 3: It's it's round the clock. Now three are sixty five
Speaker 3: days a year, So you know, there's always a chance
Speaker 3: he could come back. But you know, wherever he goes,
Speaker 3: best of luck to him. But I don't know man
Speaker 3: for a Kentucky guy playing at the University of Kentucky.
Speaker 3: I don't see how it gets any better than that.
Speaker 1: So, now, what was your favorite Travis Perry moment of
Speaker 1: the season. I'll give you a couple. I think Trent
Speaker 1: Noah had a no look past to Perry in the
Speaker 1: corner who hit a big three at at one time.
Speaker 1: You know, he accidentally shaved off his mustache when he
Speaker 1: was trying to touch it up a little bit, and
Speaker 1: then he I think he had a pretty good game
Speaker 1: the next day. You know, probably not many moments, but
Speaker 1: what are you going to remember with TP in the
Speaker 1: Blue and White Show.
Speaker 3: I don't know that there's like one specific moment. I think,
Speaker 3: you know, just to see and in general of him,
Speaker 3: like we said earlier, you know, kind of being thrown
Speaker 3: into the spotlight and yeah, here you go, kid, let's
Speaker 3: see what you got. I think he I can't remember
Speaker 3: which games for me, it all runs together, but I
Speaker 3: think he had one game where he knocked down to
Speaker 3: two or three threes if I'm not mistaken. You know,
Speaker 3: I think he did a really good job given the circumstances.
Speaker 3: And you know, it's a guy that I hate to
Speaker 3: see him go. But you know, I also understand that
Speaker 3: he's got to do what he feels like.
Speaker 2: Is best for him.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a favorite moment, but there
Speaker 1: was a time where he wasn't getting any calls, and
Speaker 1: I believe Mark Sears would go down and throw his
Speaker 1: head back and get every single call. And Jack Gibbons
Speaker 1: is on the radio saying, man, he's he's not old
Speaker 1: enough to get that call. You got to earn some
Speaker 1: respect in the SEC to get that guy, Shandon, I
Speaker 1: thought you were supposed to call the game the same
Speaker 1: way for everybody.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with that. I mean, come on, if
Speaker 3: it's a foul, it's a foul. It shouldn't matter what
Speaker 3: your age is or how long you've been in the league.
Speaker 3: And you see that you see some favorable calls. I
Speaker 3: think in the NBA, you know, with a guy like
Speaker 3: Lebron who gets some fair calls. But right you know,
Speaker 3: it should be if it's a foul, it's a foul.
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter who it is or what the name.
Speaker 3: When the back of the jersey says or the front
Speaker 3: of the jersey, it fouls a foul. But you know,
Speaker 3: in reality, some of these guys probably do get favorable
Speaker 3: calls just the way it is.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, absolutely, And I'm not going to act like
Speaker 1: the screaming at the referee for the entire game doesn't
Speaker 1: have an effect either, Shannon. I mean, after I get
Speaker 1: berated for thirty eight minutes, I might make a call
Speaker 1: against your team. That may jeopardize my integrity, Shannon, But
Speaker 1: I feel like that's just human nature. Yeah, and that's
Speaker 1: the beauty of sports. A lot of times, that's the
Speaker 1: beauty of baseball. And how beautiful was that baseball last night, Shannon,
Speaker 1: as the Cats beat Louisville seventeen to five and run
Speaker 1: ruled them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, beautiful for Kentucky, ugly for Louisville. Eleven walks, six
Speaker 3: hit batsman.
Speaker 1: Is that right? Eleven and six for walks and hit batters.
Speaker 1: That's crazy.
Speaker 3: I mean, how do we have six guys get hit
Speaker 3: by a pitch and not have some sort of brawl.
Speaker 1: You think, just on paper rivalry game that should start it.
Speaker 3: But I was watching a Major League baseball game the
Speaker 3: other night. Guy didn't even hit the person. He had
Speaker 3: two pitches that came in really close, but they threw
Speaker 3: the guy out.
Speaker 2: Didn't even hit the guy, what the pitcher They.
Speaker 1: Threw the pitcher out? Yes, I guess it was that
Speaker 1: second time. He was like, man, you're not doing that
Speaker 1: on purpose. But UK scores four runs in the second,
Speaker 1: four runs in the fourth, and seven in the fifth
Speaker 1: to win seventeen to five to beat the Louisville Cardinals.
Speaker 1: Get a little revenge when Louisville beat them at Jim
Speaker 1: Patterson Stadium earlier this year. Patrick Carrera, I mean, he
Speaker 1: was a double short of the cycle, and if that
Speaker 1: game would have went on a little bit further, he
Speaker 1: might have gotten it. Had a basis clearing triple also
Speaker 1: at home run, a big win for the Kentucky Batcats.
Speaker 1: You know what, do they say, it's hard not to
Speaker 1: be romantic about baseball, And I find myself romanticizing about
Speaker 1: baseball twice last night, Shannonck Can I tell you why?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I was listening to the radio call a
Speaker 1: little bit. Darren was with the old ball coach Keith Madison.
Speaker 1: And there's not another sport where you can be in
Speaker 1: the middle of the game and you can be talking
Speaker 1: about something completely different. And there are some great announcers
Speaker 1: throughout MLB history that are really good at this, but
Speaker 1: Shannon like the scores what you know, fifteen to four,
Speaker 1: and Darren and Keith are talking about like the nineteen
Speaker 1: forties and you know, like how many people use quarters
Speaker 1: and like a thing that you would wrap around your
Speaker 1: belt that you could have your quarters and dimes and
Speaker 1: pennies ready to go whenever you needed to use them.
Speaker 1: We're in the middle of a game and these guys
Speaker 1: are talking about that. But I absolutely love the storytelling
Speaker 1: aspect of a baseball broadcast, and it's just different from
Speaker 1: any other sport, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's slower.
Speaker 3: You got time to you know, talk in between pitches,
Speaker 3: and you see a lot of these guys. I don't know,
Speaker 3: does Darren do the call all by himself, because a
Speaker 3: lot of these guys that are baseball guys will just
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 1: A lot of road games you will buy himself. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: they'll just have to pontificate by himself in a booth.
Speaker 3: But it's also like the only sport well, I guess
Speaker 3: golf could be like this a little bit, but you know,
Speaker 3: it's one of the few sports where you can have
Speaker 3: a lot of downtime on the radio and it'd be okay. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I know, it's one two pitch ball outside and you
Speaker 3: can just have a you know, ten to fifteen seconds
Speaker 3: of dead air and just let the abbance, you know,
Speaker 3: sort of fill the air waves. And it's totally fine
Speaker 3: to do that. As a matter of fact, you should
Speaker 3: do that if you're a play by play baseball guy.
Speaker 1: Well behind baseball here. The producers hate that because you
Speaker 1: think they may have went to break and called to
Speaker 1: go to break and you don't know, but they're actually
Speaker 1: just setting the scene a little bit. So you're right,
Speaker 1: it's like a two to one count. Let me get
Speaker 1: back into my story about the last time I saw
Speaker 1: a player hit the cycle, and it's timely because you're
Speaker 1: watching a player almost hit for this cycle. So I
Speaker 1: love that aspect about baseball. The other aspect that I
Speaker 1: felt myself loving about it yesterday just listening to the game,
Speaker 1: was that the baseball game can can end early if
Speaker 1: it's a blowout. Shannon, we need this more in sports.
Speaker 1: I mean, how about the NBA game where Okay see
Speaker 1: recently beat the Memphis Greasly by how many points? Fifty
Speaker 1: one fifty one points. I'm gonna argue that game should
Speaker 1: have ended at thirty five, j Jen, And you know
Speaker 1: what I mean.
Speaker 3: You think that there should have been like a towel
Speaker 3: that we could just throw out there on the court,
Speaker 3: like you know, throwing the we're done, just quit. I
Speaker 3: mean talk about making headlines.
Speaker 1: I don't want to subjective quit. I want a hard
Speaker 1: number that a team could get to where the game
Speaker 1: just ends.
Speaker 2: Okay, so what should that be? Then?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: You can't say thirty five or even around thirty because
Speaker 3: well you're probably not old enough to remember. But Kentucky
Speaker 3: was once down at LSU.
Speaker 1: Yeah, was how many was that?
Speaker 2: Thirty one?
Speaker 3: I think it was at halftime and came back and
Speaker 3: won the game. So you know, if you were to
Speaker 3: end that game, I mean it looked like the game
Speaker 3: was over at halftime.
Speaker 2: Then Kentucky comes back and wins.
Speaker 1: So the baseball rule is you have to be up
Speaker 1: ten by what is it, the sixth or seventh inning,
Speaker 1: and I guess if that is completed by then, then
Speaker 1: it can be an official game. There's some rules when
Speaker 1: it comes to rain out as well. How many innings
Speaker 1: have been played before you can count it an official game.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Shannon, I kind of just loved it
Speaker 1: that we didn't have to have the entire game of
Speaker 1: a beatdown. They realize the game's over, we can end
Speaker 1: it a little bit early. It's another thing that I
Speaker 1: don't think you see in any other sport. If you
Speaker 1: can correct me if I'm wrong, give us call eight
Speaker 1: five nine two eight oh two two eight seven Texas
Speaker 1: at five o two two six five six six five six.
Speaker 1: I want to talk a little bit more about the
Speaker 1: Kentucky men's basketball roster because some reports are coming out
Speaker 1: about what each kid is making in nil dollars.
Speaker 3: Shannon, Yeah, we believe it, though, Well that's the thing.
Speaker 2: We're pulling numbers out of thin air?
Speaker 3: Or is there like I need to see a contract
Speaker 3: or something that proves that before Well.
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you the numbers that are being reported.
Speaker 1: You tell me if you believe it or not. Shannon, No, and.
Speaker 2: There we go. We don't have to do the next segment.
Speaker 1: No, okay, Well we'll talk about that and I've got
Speaker 1: some other crazy stories we'll talk about. It is the
Speaker 1: show before the show, the ksrprehaw Yeah, all right, welcome back.
Speaker 1: It is the case R pre show. Shannon getting calls
Speaker 1: during the break Shannon. Yeah, people not know that you
Speaker 1: do seven radio shows.
Speaker 3: Don't call me between the hours of what seven and seven?
Speaker 1: At nine, seven and seven. Yeah, very very busy on
Speaker 1: the text line a couple things. Five h two two
Speaker 1: sixty five six six five six Kentucky was down thirty
Speaker 1: one points with fifteen forty five remaining at LSU.
Speaker 2: Isn't that insane?
Speaker 3: Like sometimes I have to go back and watch that
Speaker 3: on YouTube just to really convince myself that that happened.
Speaker 3: If you watch that back, it is unbelievable. Talk about
Speaker 3: an all time choke job.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: It almost doesn't seem possible that a team could come
Speaker 3: back from thirty points with fifteen minutes to go in
Speaker 3: a game like Could that ever happen in today's world?
Speaker 3: That the Patino team just pressed and pressed and pressed
Speaker 3: and they were relentless. I don't know why more teams
Speaker 3: don't play like that.
Speaker 1: I mean a way a col team plays in the
Speaker 1: final fifteen minutes. I'm sure somebody could come back from
Speaker 1: thirty one points down. I'm sure a baseball team has
Speaker 1: come back from more than ten runs down as well,
Speaker 1: But they also have to cut off on ten runs
Speaker 1: in at least college in high school. Ending the game,
Speaker 1: one person also says Billy Kentucky is out of TP
Speaker 1: in the locker room. I will add to that, Shannon,
Speaker 1: do you think that they need a bidet in the
Speaker 1: UK locker room now that they're out of TP?
Speaker 2: Well, you're mister bidet.
Speaker 3: I mean you've had what six months I guess to
Speaker 3: use it. Yeah, what's your long term review? After six
Speaker 3: months of.
Speaker 1: Long term review?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 3: See, at first you're all excited about it, you know,
Speaker 3: like sitting on a geyser. You're happy about it, and
Speaker 3: now you say that you missed it. But think about
Speaker 3: all the money you save though, right, Yeah, it's yeah,
Speaker 3: the TP is not cheap.
Speaker 1: Oh no, you're right about that. I'm probably saving some money.
Speaker 1: But I really saved the money because I think we
Speaker 1: got the cheapest bidet you could get online.
Speaker 3: If you're going to order a bidet, that's something you
Speaker 3: want to get, like the Bentley of you don't want.
Speaker 2: To get your bedeta on a temu.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I get the Camri bidet here is shit
Speaker 1: and like it can run a long time, but the
Speaker 1: quality is it really there?
Speaker 2: Like an eighty eight Camray?
Speaker 1: Yeah, like I mean till I die, but and the
Speaker 1: abuse have taken. I mean, it's just really it's it's
Speaker 1: cold water. I mean if I were to move into
Speaker 1: like the hot water and get like under the sink
Speaker 1: and do all that, I think it'd be real.
Speaker 2: You don't want to scald yourself?
Speaker 3: Is there no way to like you know, No, there's
Speaker 3: get a little little happy medium, like.
Speaker 1: On the tmubidey. I mean, I think they're settings on
Speaker 1: the nicer ones, but not this one. Shannon. We've got
Speaker 1: a couple of things. But tell me about DraftKings.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1: more games tonight, including Magic Celtics, Heat Calves, and Warriors Rockets. Shannon,
Speaker 1: congrats to Georgia Amore. She threw out the first pitch
Speaker 1: at the Washington National Scams yesterday. Why don't you guess
Speaker 1: where she lined up to do her first pitch throw.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say she threw from the rubber from the mound.
Speaker 1: Incorrect in the grass in front of the mound. Okay,
Speaker 1: did not see if she made it to the plate.
Speaker 1: I only saw still photos. But as we had the
Speaker 1: conversation yesterday, Shannon, thanks, professional athletes should always go from
Speaker 1: the mound.
Speaker 3: Come on, you're a professional athlete and can't throw up
Speaker 3: baseball sixty feet athlete. No, I'm not saying she's She's
Speaker 3: an amazing athlete, but I am sort of baffled by
Speaker 3: you know, a professional athlete can't throw a ball sixty feet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know. I think it's just about more not
Speaker 1: wanting to embarrass yourself, right, dude, I mean, we know
Speaker 1: you're not gonna go out there embarrass yourself, but no,
Speaker 1: you get me out there throw him from the rubber.
Speaker 1: I mean, we may have a clip that stands the
Speaker 1: test of time instead of me going a few inches further.
Speaker 1: But I'll get the pre show out at the level
Speaker 1: bat I'd love to do. That's how the free Show started.
Speaker 1: We go way back. We'll take a break and be
Speaker 1: right back here on the case our pre show. Welcome back.
Speaker 1: It is the case our pre show, Billy and the Dude,
Speaker 1: and you should hear the dude during the break telling
Speaker 1: me if I ever joined him for a workout now,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be able to keep up. You can't rag
Speaker 1: it about his class. Oh my gosh, my gosh.
Speaker 2: You forget about it.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think if you came to work out
Speaker 3: with me, you last about five minutes and then you
Speaker 3: go probably spend the rest of the time in the sauna.
Speaker 1: You know, you just sit there and sweat. I probably
Speaker 1: would do that. It's been an extended period of time there.
Speaker 3: But but you know I was telling you hard on it.
Speaker 3: I'm now week thirteen. I've been going consistently since the
Speaker 3: beginning of the year.
Speaker 1: Well, look, as long as we can stop after every
Speaker 1: exercise so I can look at my phone for two
Speaker 1: and a half three minutes, I'll be fine. Telling me
Speaker 1: to go from exercise to exercise.
Speaker 2: Man, I go into the gym.
Speaker 3: I've got a buddy of mine that is an OVW
Speaker 3: wrestler who works out in the same gym as I do.
Speaker 3: He's there when I get there, he's there when I leave.
Speaker 3: He stays in the gym like three hours. I don't
Speaker 3: have three hours. I'm in it out in forty minutes.
Speaker 1: The gym rat.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: You know, probably me and Cash Daniel are probably doing
Speaker 1: different workouts as well. Oh yeah, as he gets ready
Speaker 1: for his OVW journey Friday, Friday night first match, right,
Speaker 1: that's right, maybe we can get him on before that.
Speaker 1: I just try to reach out to Cash see if
Speaker 1: we can make that happen, uh, Shannon. Before we get
Speaker 1: to the phones, I wanted to talk a little bit
Speaker 1: more about the Kentucky roster because I found it interesting
Speaker 1: when Matt asked everybody for a starting lineup yesterday, everybody
Speaker 1: had a little bit of a different starting lineup. Whether
Speaker 1: I think we all agree that Jalen Lowe is going
Speaker 1: to be the point guard, but who you've got at
Speaker 1: shooting guard, who you've got at small forward, who you've
Speaker 1: got at the four and the five all seem to
Speaker 1: be interchanging right now. Those roles I'm sure will define
Speaker 1: themselves as the off season goes along as we get
Speaker 1: closer to the regular season. But you know, if Otega
Speaker 1: comes back, Shannon, that's a good problem to have that
Speaker 1: it can be interchangeable at times, don't you think?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think if Oway comes back, he's
Speaker 3: definitely your two. There's no doubt about that, but I
Speaker 3: mean if you needed to shift him around a little bit,
Speaker 3: you could. I think they're going to be in good situation,
Speaker 3: in a good shape, and a good roster with Oway
Speaker 3: coming back, and with everything you've got so far. You've
Speaker 3: got a lot of talent, a lot of a lot
Speaker 3: of experience there as well, So I think they're ready
Speaker 3: to go come in November.
Speaker 1: I don't know what Aberdeen expects to do when it
Speaker 1: comes to minutes played, Like he's coming as the sixth
Speaker 1: man of Florida. Is he expecting to start? Is he
Speaker 1: going to do that six man role?
Speaker 2: Again?
Speaker 3: That was by Alston yesterday, like how you're going to
Speaker 3: leave the national championship team and be projected as a
Speaker 3: starter then go to Kentucky and sit on the bench.
Speaker 3: Not saying that's going to happen, but that's what makes
Speaker 3: me think there's a very good chance Aberdeen is a
Speaker 3: starter next year.
Speaker 1: And how does it look when Jaden Quayton's gets healthy.
Speaker 1: Mo dia Batte didn't come here to sit on the bench.
Speaker 1: That guy has got to be starting at the four
Speaker 1: I think. But you know, as good as yellowch like,
Speaker 1: you know, it's like that's this is gonna be a
Speaker 1: fun puzzle to solve over.
Speaker 3: The next few months. The one thing about it is
Speaker 3: that we've saw last year. You know, Pope's not like
Speaker 3: Cali Perry where he's going to play a guy thirty eight,
Speaker 3: thirty nine forty minutes a game. So there's going to
Speaker 3: be a balance where you're going to get guys who
Speaker 3: are gonna get they're gonna get minutes. Now how much,
Speaker 3: how many minutes, I don't know, but I think Pope
Speaker 3: does a better job of balancing the minutes throughout the
Speaker 3: roster than Calipari did, where he stuck to, you know,
Speaker 3: six guys and that was it.
Speaker 1: Now, in the few years of NIL, we've seen some
Speaker 1: really crazy numbers when it comes to players, you know,
Speaker 1: in what they're getting in order to play for a
Speaker 1: certain school. And while those numbers are still crazy, I
Speaker 1: want to ask you, Shannon, if you believe or not
Speaker 1: some of the reported numbers for Kentucky players and their
Speaker 1: NIL dollars making.
Speaker 2: I have not seen this, so I'm hearing this for
Speaker 2: the first time right now.
Speaker 1: Aaron Gershon of The Cat's Pause did some reporting and
Speaker 1: yesterday he revealed that otega Oway and Jaden Quainton's are
Speaker 1: combined at seven million dollars for their nil money.
Speaker 3: Split equally or it just says combined, so it's.
Speaker 1: Three and a half for each to reach I guess
Speaker 1: at or over seven million dollars for the two per year. Yes,
Speaker 1: modabate at two. Aberdeen is also at two. Remember we
Speaker 1: saw Goodman say UK is looking to be spending the
Speaker 1: most nil money in the country, even more than BYU Shannon.
Speaker 1: There are rumors that this roster could be upwards of
Speaker 1: twenty million dollars for nil No wait.
Speaker 3: Now, I thought it was ten million last week. Now
Speaker 3: we're saying twenty million.
Speaker 1: Now, I think twenty is probably the inflated number that
Speaker 1: we're trying to circle here. I think that is a
Speaker 1: ton Could it add up to twenty? I think it
Speaker 1: could if you got specific reporting about Guys Oway and
Speaker 1: JQ being at seven. Do you Boughtay at two and
Speaker 1: Aberdeen at two? That's eleven and that's only what four players, right,
Speaker 1: So is it that far fetch that this roster could
Speaker 1: be a twenty million dollars.
Speaker 3: I guess not if you're going by those numbers, and
Speaker 3: if those numbers are true. But again I have a
Speaker 3: hard time believing in until I see it, like you know,
Speaker 3: in front of me from somebody that's not just a
Speaker 3: quote unquote source.
Speaker 1: That's fair.
Speaker 3: But then again, I think about the people who are
Speaker 3: writing these articles and go, what motivation do they have
Speaker 3: just to make up numbers out of thin air? You know,
Speaker 3: like right, They're not just creating numbers in their head
Speaker 3: and going oh oh wait makes three and a half
Speaker 3: million without knowing that. But how how do they know?
Speaker 3: Have they seen contracts? Who's telling them?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know beat reporters are around it twenty four
Speaker 1: to seven. I mean that is that is their.
Speaker 3: Job understanding that are they in there signing the contracts
Speaker 3: with the players?
Speaker 1: I take it a look a little bit more I
Speaker 1: gets truth than I would maybe just the random guy
Speaker 1: saying that, you know, I guess you know, this is
Speaker 1: a popular time for insiders, right, and people saying I
Speaker 1: have information that you don't. This guy's going to transfer
Speaker 1: here and not there. But over the years, I feel
Speaker 1: like the reporting on the money has probably gotten better,
Speaker 1: not worse, even though it's you know, it is a
Speaker 1: time of oddness. But I don't know, Shan twenty million
Speaker 1: dollars seems like a lot. But when you hear specifics
Speaker 1: like that from somebody like Aaron Gershaan, then maybe you
Speaker 1: can get to that number.
Speaker 3: Do you think we get to the point to where
Speaker 3: there's salary caps like NIO caps on this.
Speaker 1: Yes, because you know, with the case settlement coming and
Speaker 1: then legislation being levied by Congress, hopefully then there will
Speaker 1: be a set amount of money that I think the
Speaker 1: schools can give players. So yeah, they'll have to budget it.
Speaker 1: But now a school could offer much more money in
Speaker 1: their budget than another school, right, so there'll always be
Speaker 1: a difference there. So I don't know, it's just it's
Speaker 1: just strange to put these things into perspective when these
Speaker 1: guys make life changing money for a lot of times
Speaker 1: to sit.
Speaker 2: On the bench.
Speaker 3: Yeah, wouldn't you go to college, get a free degree,
Speaker 3: get paid millions of dollars and not even have to play.
Speaker 1: That I can go and average seven points a game
Speaker 1: and then go sign a two million dollars nil contract
Speaker 1: and then be set.
Speaker 3: For life if I save it the right way, right man,
Speaker 3: If I were like you know, in middle school, I
Speaker 3: would be training my butt off right now to be
Speaker 3: really good in high school and go to a really
Speaker 3: good college and make some really good money.
Speaker 1: A little Shannon of the dude a blue running around.
Speaker 1: One of these days, you're going to force him to
Speaker 1: be a lefty and then he's going to be forced
Speaker 1: to play basketball and baseball to make that ni Oln money.
Speaker 1: I think we have to do that. Let's go to
Speaker 1: the phones.
Speaker 2: He's up first. It's going to John.
Speaker 1: Good morning John.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just.
Speaker 5: Florida kids.
Speaker 4: Came on the roster. I got worried that maybe one
Speaker 4: of the coaching staff or some of the coaching staff
Speaker 4: may have heard something that oh Way may not be
Speaker 4: coming back. Would you think that be to worry about.
Speaker 1: Or I don't think the addition of Aberdeen would signal
Speaker 1: anything to do with Oway. The fact that Oway I
Speaker 1: don't think officially entered the transfer portal means that he
Speaker 1: will either be in the NBA or would be back
Speaker 1: at Kentucky. So I think that's also another reassuring sign
Speaker 1: that Oway is isn't really looking elsewhere. Besides getting to
Speaker 1: some feedback from the NBA.
Speaker 4: That's great, great, thanks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't really seen always name on draft board.
Speaker 3: Of course I haven't seen the latest draft board, but
Speaker 3: the ones i've been looking at recently, I haven't even
Speaker 3: seen his name on there.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, And I don't you know when you can
Speaker 1: make this kind of money in college, Shannon? Why go right?
Speaker 1: Why don't be a day two pick or a second
Speaker 1: round question? I mean, and go to the G league.
Speaker 3: For those of you who are tired of like one
Speaker 3: and done's. I mean, this helps that, does it not?
Speaker 3: I mean unless you are, you know, an absolute lock
Speaker 3: for the lottery or.
Speaker 2: Maybe first round, why would you go?
Speaker 3: You know, if you're one of these players that's on
Speaker 3: the cusp, but maybe you know, maybe you go first round,
Speaker 3: maybe you go second round. But you're making you know,
Speaker 3: millions of dollars in college? Why would you not stick
Speaker 3: around for another year just to be sure? Go to college,
Speaker 3: play another season, make your two and a half three
Speaker 3: million dollars, whatever it may be. If you believe these
Speaker 3: numbers and then improve your stock, make yourself a first rounder,
Speaker 3: go back, and then make more millions of dollars.
Speaker 1: I guess I'll give you the one exception. You hate school,
Speaker 1: you hate going to.
Speaker 3: Class, and come on, do we really think these guys
Speaker 3: are going to class? Come on, man, you really think
Speaker 3: these doors they get? I mean, they made They made some,
Speaker 3: but these guys aren't like in there every day like
Speaker 3: every other Come on, you.
Speaker 1: Don't think they make their eight am after they hit
Speaker 1: the shot.
Speaker 2: No, it probably never has been like that.
Speaker 3: That's not a an il thing, you know, It's just
Speaker 3: the way I think it's always been. You know, like
Speaker 3: when I played baseball Bellerman, we we did have to
Speaker 3: go to school, we did have to go to class.
Speaker 3: We're a big time enough to but we did get
Speaker 3: some preferential treatment every now and then.
Speaker 2: Sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I remember in high school you got released
Speaker 1: early to go to a well, I was on the
Speaker 1: golf team. Sometimes you had to get released early to
Speaker 1: go to a golf event, and you thought you were
Speaker 1: the coolest kid around. So I'm sure you thought a
Speaker 1: little bit of the same when you were getting preferential
Speaker 1: treatment at Bellerman. John brought up the Florida transfer Denzel Aberdeen.
Speaker 1: Uh found out on a post on KSR that Denzel's
Speaker 1: father can't watch games live. Sounds like that, John Jones, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he will DVR it and watch it back later.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: At times, like when his son had a twenty point
Speaker 1: performance in the SEC tournament, people were texting him and
Speaker 1: he would find out what was happening. But he I
Speaker 1: guess he gets too nervous. Shanning can't watch it live?
Speaker 2: Hm, well, I.
Speaker 3: Guess you know, he and Matt could go into some
Speaker 3: random hotel lobby and watch it on TV, but that
Speaker 3: would be live, So.
Speaker 2: I guess that wouldn't work.
Speaker 3: Worse than that, not only could he not watch it
Speaker 3: in person live, he can't watch it on TV live.
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I got you know that.
Speaker 3: I would think that would be a proud moment if
Speaker 3: you got your son playing college ball and you can't
Speaker 3: watch him.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think it's even weirder for Matt to do it
Speaker 1: when he doesn't have his son involved compared to when
Speaker 1: your son is involved. I mean, I can understand if
Speaker 1: you are living with the ups and downs if your
Speaker 1: son's out there. But yeah, Matt's just doing a radio
Speaker 1: show about the game. I mean, like, why.
Speaker 3: Can't he watch Oh, you know it means a lot
Speaker 3: to him, But well, that's a completely other that's a
Speaker 3: completely different conversation.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think I was gonna say, I think it's stranger
Speaker 3: to drive ten hours and then not watch the game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then and then go to the lobby of
Speaker 1: that hotel.
Speaker 2: They have lobbies in Lexington.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you. Let's take another call. Then we'll
Speaker 1: take a break.
Speaker 3: There, all right, John Short, Hey Joe, Johnny, what's up, American?
Speaker 2: You're a great American. How about those Batcats last night?
Speaker 2: What a win?
Speaker 4: Yes, I had a seventeen wins.
Speaker 3: I was a seventeen that's right. I think you could
Speaker 3: have thrown better than those lobal pictures last night, Johnny.
Speaker 3: They couldn't throw it over the plate. They were they
Speaker 3: were walking our guys, they were hitting them in the head,
Speaker 3: they were all over the place.
Speaker 4: I know it's a good win. And we played softball
Speaker 4: last night too, just just baseball.
Speaker 1: Uh. You know, I'm not sure, John, I know they
Speaker 1: didn't have a good weekend series recently, so I'm not
Speaker 1: sure if they played last night, you're supposed to give
Speaker 1: us those scores though, if.
Speaker 4: I don't hear too much on television like the softball
Speaker 4: that much.
Speaker 3: Yes, you get to check your local listings, as they say,
Speaker 3: to see when when the games are and when they're playing.
Speaker 1: Uh, John, they played on and lost to South Carolina.
Speaker 1: So they played tonight against E k U in Richmond
Speaker 1: at six pm.
Speaker 3: Can we get John maybe one of those magnetic schedules
Speaker 3: to put on his refrigerator. That way he'll know exactly
Speaker 3: when they play and what station they'll be on.
Speaker 2: We need to get John one of those. If anybody's listening,
Speaker 2: what do.
Speaker 4: You think, John, that'd be good winning.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3: You can just you can just go right to your
Speaker 3: refrigerator and you know, get your plane plain Hamburger out
Speaker 3: that you out of the refrigerator and you can look
Speaker 3: and see what they play.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's like you but Perry going to the
Speaker 4: transfer port. He'd have to come back.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think we all wanted to come back John,
Speaker 1: but he wanted to play a little more. And with
Speaker 1: all the talent on Kentucky's roster, I think he was
Speaker 1: gonna be hurting for playing time.
Speaker 3: And we still have another Kentucky player. We still have
Speaker 3: Sweet Mountain Angel Baby, Mountain Mamba, Trent Noah is still
Speaker 3: that's right. Yeah, So whis which name do you like
Speaker 3: better of John? For for Trent Noah? Do you like
Speaker 3: Mountain Mamba or Sweet Mountain Angel Baby?
Speaker 4: Doesn't matter which one?
Speaker 2: Are you gonna call him? Are you gonna call him
Speaker 2: Sweet Mountain Angel Baby?
Speaker 4: I wouldn't call him man, would I would call him Mount's.
Speaker 2: Gonna call it Trent. Noah, Okay, all right.
Speaker 4: It's right, and you just have a good easter, and.
Speaker 2: Yeah we did. John Hope about you, John, did you have.
Speaker 4: A good one? I did take a good papers? Say?
Speaker 4: Is that was two days ago?
Speaker 2: It was because of the two.
Speaker 4: Gonna take the University of Battle Lakes in Massachusetts.
Speaker 1: Oh, little history, lesson here, I'll of the day of
Speaker 1: the Boston Marathon. I think, John, that's right, all.
Speaker 2: Right, Johnny, good to here. You're a great American.
Speaker 4: Hey, thank you.
Speaker 3: Anytime you want to run a marathon, John will do it.
Speaker 3: Did you say they had like robots trying to run
Speaker 3: the marathon with.
Speaker 1: I saw a headline about this. I didn't read it.
Speaker 3: I don't think it went too well for the robots.
Speaker 3: So they're not quite ready to take over the world
Speaker 3: just yet. They can't keep up with humans in the
Speaker 3: Boston Marathon.
Speaker 1: Well, good good. I have been using AI more, Shannon.
Speaker 1: I asked AI the other day what it thought about
Speaker 1: ksr's Billy Rutledge.
Speaker 2: Look at you're so vain.
Speaker 1: It is not great that I wish I did not
Speaker 1: do it. Now what did it say, Well, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: have to do it again to pull it up because
Speaker 1: it's not on Deep Seek anymore. That's the Chinese version
Speaker 1: of the chat GPT. Okay, but they were like, if
Speaker 1: you're looking for in depth analysis, maybe look elsewhere. We
Speaker 1: don't know if Billy is polarizing with his hot takes
Speaker 1: and his loyal defense of Kentucky.
Speaker 2: Is that what it says? Yeah, that's what that was
Speaker 2: level defense of Kentucky. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It got it a little wrong, you know, but Shannon
Speaker 1: did get things many things right, as in being divisive
Speaker 1: and probably turn the podcast off. If you're looking for
Speaker 1: the in depth analysis of maybe somebody like Jack gibbonskill,
Speaker 1: well maybe we should do Shannon the dude during the break?
Speaker 1: What is you?
Speaker 3: Dude? You can do it if you want to. I'm
Speaker 3: not getting on that Chinese AI stuff.
Speaker 1: Oh please. We've already got our facial profile and everything mine.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll take a break. We'll be back here
Speaker 1: on the Case. I appreciate all right, welcome back. It's
Speaker 1: our final segment here on Wednesday edition of The Case,
Speaker 1: our pre show. We've got a couple of people online
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go quick so we can get to
Speaker 1: some of them, but deep seek the Chinese version of
Speaker 1: chat GPT. I don't think they really know who Shannon
Speaker 1: the Dude is.
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 1: Can I just read verbatim what it thinks Shannon the Dude?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm curious to see what AI I thinks I am.
Speaker 1: Shannon the Dude is a well known Louisville radio personality,
Speaker 1: most notably associated with hip hop and R and B
Speaker 1: stations in the area.
Speaker 2: Well, they got half of it, right, I guess I
Speaker 2: am in a noval. I'm on the radio.
Speaker 1: I don't play hip hop, though it's been active for years,
Speaker 1: possibly decades in the Louisville radio market, known for supporting
Speaker 1: Louisville and Southern rap artists, playing underground tracks, and hosting
Speaker 1: mixed shows. So I don't get invited to mixed shows either.
Speaker 1: Not just the Christmas party. Oh, let's see, it's cool.
Speaker 1: It's a cool nod to Louisville's hip hop history that
Speaker 1: Shannon is on Kentucky Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: Shannon's role as a long time DJ makes him a
Speaker 1: cultural touchstone, similar to how DJ's like Big Boy LA
Speaker 1: or Greg Street Atl are revered in their cities we do.
Speaker 3: We need a little work on AI. Like, it's only
Speaker 3: about fifty percent, right. I just think that's what's gonna
Speaker 3: be taking your job one day that.
Speaker 1: Let it work out. The kinks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of kinks in there.
Speaker 1: But wow, the neutral icon for hip hop and R
Speaker 1: and B in the city of Louisville, Kentucky.
Speaker 3: Shannon, I think you could take, you know, like the
Speaker 3: music genre and flip that to rock roll and all
Speaker 3: of that would be completely accurate, you know, a rock and.
Speaker 2: Roll icon, legendary voice.
Speaker 3: All right, now we're getting okay, I almost got it right,
Speaker 3: except for the hip hop.
Speaker 1: Still now, now, now it sounds like they was very,
Speaker 1: very wrong. Let's go to the phones though, Shannon. He's
Speaker 1: up next.
Speaker 2: Laura Hey, Laura, Hey, what's up?
Speaker 5: Hey guys? How are you guys doing great?
Speaker 1: And great?
Speaker 5: So? I know that we've been talking a lot about
Speaker 5: Nico and the Tennessee situation. But have you seen the
Speaker 5: latest where Nico's brother Madden just entered the transfer portal
Speaker 5: at Arkansas.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we just talked about that yesterday. I was I
Speaker 3: saw that and I was questioning whether or not that
Speaker 3: was true or not because he left UCLA right went
Speaker 3: to Arkansas. Now going back to UCLA to play quarterback.
Speaker 3: I guess behind his brother. I don't really understand the
Speaker 3: whole thing.
Speaker 5: Yes, as if we thought that this family could not
Speaker 5: get any now they're doing like a two for one deal.
Speaker 5: But the latest is is that Arkansas is now apparently
Speaker 5: threatening to sue him for breach of contract and for
Speaker 5: the Nile money. So I was just hoping to hear
Speaker 5: your thoughts on that.
Speaker 2: Okay, thanks for the caller, Yes, thanks for Laurie.
Speaker 1: You're you are exactly right. The Arkansas A d came
Speaker 1: out and say that he supports the NIL Collective pursuing
Speaker 1: legal action against athletes that break any legally binding NIL contracts.
Speaker 1: So I think he is. I guess assuming that the
Speaker 1: I I'm Alieva kid at Arkansas did break a contract
Speaker 1: Shannon by leaving this is this could get ugly, don't
Speaker 1: you think?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think it already has.
Speaker 3: But what what kind of money do you think that
Speaker 3: he is getting paid by UCLA to come play back
Speaker 3: up quarterback to his brother.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the thing. Nico probably might get a mill
Speaker 1: or two, but what is his brother gonna get? Maybe
Speaker 1: it was a package deal man.
Speaker 3: But if I'm a little brother and I'm not gonna
Speaker 3: bring dad or brother along, if I'm not, if I'm
Speaker 3: little and I'm not getting paid the same as what
Speaker 3: big brother is, and maybe he is, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I haven't seen the numbers. I don't know the contract
Speaker 3: situation on it. But what you want to go out
Speaker 3: and make a name for yourself somewhere you think, I mean, well,
Speaker 3: who's to say he could make more than Nico?
Speaker 1: But the logical reasoning with this family's gone out the
Speaker 1: window a long time ago. I mean, this has been
Speaker 1: a disaster. They're gonna make a lot less money than
Speaker 1: what they could have lacked next year. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't think this is going to be much of
Speaker 1: a trend. This could be the outlier, and let's at
Speaker 1: least hope for that. Shannon tell me about draftings for.
