Speaker 5: at us like these dudes are eighties number one, which

23
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 5: I don't blame him, but my first, my first reaction

24
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 5: when I see you, Ryan, did you get a haircut?

25
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: Oh?

26
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, don't I look I look a lot more handsome, dapper,

27
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 6: more educated, maybe even a little taller Drew.

28
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 5: I did not think he could be more handsome, but

29
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 5: he got it tightened up a little bit.

30
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 7: This is a whole lot of handsome sitting next to me.

31
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 7: Is it's an honor to every morning in the summer.

32
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 7: This is this is kind of the first person I

33
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 7: see and interact with every day, and it sets the

34
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 7: tone for the day. But today that he's really.

35
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 6: Glowing makes the ladies, makes the ladies very Thursday, very thirsty.

Speaker 2: Tom.

61
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 6: Do you realize that when you first started at cass

62
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 6: Are you were oh yeah, look at that, and now

63
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 6: you're thirty nine.

64
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

65
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 7: I met Matt on my birthday. I was at two Keys.

66
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 7: Matt remembers it. I don't remember all of it, but yeah,

67
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 7: times have changed just a little bit.

68
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 2: Well, happy birthday, Thank you very much.

69
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 7: Guys.

70
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 5: That's big. I mean, that's big. You get to a

71
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 5: certain age, and I'll explain this to you, guys. Ryan's

72
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 5: the oldest I think. But what I've learned is like

73
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 5: I've gotten to a point where I feel older, like

74
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 5: almost on a weekly basis, Like something else pops up

75
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 5: and I'm like, man, but there's no sense of feeling

76
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 5: sorry for yourself because it's only going to get worse, right,

77
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 5: so just ignore it. Like unless you get on HGH

78
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 5: or some sort of you know, revitalizing drug, you're only

79
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 5: gonna get older if you're lucky. I've got to go

80
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 5: to a funeral tomorrow, Like you're lucky to get older now.

81
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 5: My uncle was ninety, so that's a whole different story.

82
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 5: But at this point, what do you ask for for

83
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 5: your thirty ninth birthday?

84
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 7: I mean, people have been asking me for weeks and

85
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 7: I have no answer. I don't know. I don't need things.

86
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 7: Hoping to get around to golfing with my dad at

87
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 7: some point, that would be fun. Like I said, going

88
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 7: to dinner. You know, you get older, you don't need

89
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 7: the toys and the big events. I'm just looking to

90
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 7: hang out a little bit. I will say one thing

91
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 7: with getting older, there's something about sports. It's not even

92
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 7: this birthday, but little things like like younger fans of

93
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 7: Kentucky on our message board last week, it was Jamal

94
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 7: mcglure's birthday, and I said, happy birthday, Jamal McLure, champion

95
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 7: nineteen ninety eight. You love Jamal mcglure.

96
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 2: Matt loves Jamal macaure.

97
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,119
Speaker 7: So I wrote, everyone, leave your favorite Jamal McLure memory today,

98
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 7: And over half the responses where we don't remember Jamal mcglure.

99
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 7: And then there's like one person that's like, I barely

100
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 7: remember John Wall And it's those things that hurt me

101
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 7: much more than today's date or my age. It's kind

102
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 7: of sports, I think puts it into perspective a lot

103
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,119
Speaker 7: when you're meeting younger people, when they don't even remember

104
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 7: these fond memories you think were just a few years ago.

105
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 5: Now, the lifespan of players, even great players, is like

106
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 5: a blip on the radar. Shannon, do you agree with

107
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 5: Drew that you reach a certain age, you really don't

108
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 5: ask for stuff or need stuf because I have a

109
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 5: feeling you'd have a contrary opinion on this.

110
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 3: Well, I mean I always like, you know, presents anytime,

111
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 3: and you want to give me a gift, I'm fine

112
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 3: with that. My problem is I'm born on December twenty first,

113
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 3: so I always get the hey, buddy, here's your gift. Oh,

114
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 3: by the way, that's also your Christmas gift type thing.

115
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 3: So I always got kind of screwed when it came

116
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 3: over when it came to getting like a birthday gift.

117
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 3: But you know, as I get older, I like just experiences,

118
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 3: I think more than gifts, just you.

119
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 5: Know, just just very nick mnion.

120
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, just experiences, just hanging out with friends, you know.

121
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 3: And you get to a certain age too, you don't

122
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 3: even want to talk about celebrating another birthday right once

123
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 3: you hit forty, don't remind me that I've got another

124
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 3: birthday coming up.

125
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm with you. What I do most of the time,

126
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 5: whether it's like Christmas, maybe Father's Day, birthday is I'll

127
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 5: be like, hey, I bought a new pair of shoes,

128
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 5: Like whether you want to wrap it or not, like that,

129
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 5: don't buy me anything like I went and bought something

130
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 5: for me. So we're good. Is that a fair way

131
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 5: to do it? Ryan, like, at a certain age?

132
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think we're gonna be honest. I think when

133
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 6: we get a little older in my age, what's your birthday?

134
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 6: You want somebody cook you a meal, You want a nap,

135
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 6: and you want a little private quiet sneak around, you

136
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 6: know while bow chick time maybe that night.

137

Speaker 2: That's all. That's all I want. That's all, that's all

138

00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

142
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 7: Remember Tom earlier when you said he's the oldest guy

143
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 7: on the show.

144
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 5: You said that just fure.

145
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,800

00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 5: trip to Omaha. I cannot believe. I cannot believe the

149
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 5: KSR is not going to the College World Series. I

150
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 5: think the first time I met Matt was in Omaha

151
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 5: at the College World Series. Like I don't know how

152
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 5: many years ago. The first time we kind of hung

153
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 5: out and he knows how great in the event it is.

154
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 5: It is incredible. I've been to the Super Bowl, I've

155
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 5: been to the Masters, I've been to the Rose Bowl,

156
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 5: I've been to Final Fours, I've been to World Series.

157
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 5: The College World Series is the absolute best. And I'll

158
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 5: tell you why. It is the most accessible national championship

159
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 5: that you can hope for. I mean, like, I'm sure

160
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 5: you could go to the cross country National Championship and

161
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 5: probably get a steal on a ticket, right, But in

162
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 5: terms of having an event that you want to be at,

163
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 5: you get a day game. You go drink in the

164
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 5: morning and hang out and tailgate if you want, go

165
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 5: get a stake at night, you get a night game.

166
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 5: Maybe you go play golf with your buddies, or you

167
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 5: go across the river to the casino. Whatever it is.

168
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 5: But it is affordable. It is I'll put an asterisk

169
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 5: in front this one. It's somewhat convenient. I mean, Omahal

170
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 5: is in the middle of the country, so yeah, it's

171
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 5: like a ten twelve hour drive from many of the

172
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 5: listeners today. You can do it as cheap as you want,

173
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 5: you can do it as highbrow as you want, spend

174
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 5: as much money you can get a Motel six and

175
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 5: Council Bluffs, Iowa and then drive over. I'm sure somebody

176
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 5: is going to be having a huge tailgate. But I

177
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 5: stirred the hornet's nest yesterday from a quote I got

178
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 5: from a National Baseball rider like three days before when

179
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 5: on our little group texts that we had with a

180
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 5: bunch of baseball college baseball guys, I said, guys, I

181
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 5: think Big Blue Nation is going to take over Omaha.

182
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 5: And he immediately fired back and he's like, no way,

183
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 5: they're not baseball fans. They're not gonna show up. Brian,

184
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 5: tell me why he's wrong.

185
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 2: He obviously doesn't know what Big Blue Nation is all about.

186
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 5: Man.

187
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 6: When we're a bowl game, we're going to that. If

188
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 6: it's an NCAA tournament basketball game, we're going to that.

189
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 6: There will be a huge, big Blue wave rowing to

190
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 6: Omaha for the College Baseball World Series. And if he

191
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 6: thinks this community is not baseball fans, he just didn't

192
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 6: know us. He didn't know Lexington, he didn't know UK Baseball.

193
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 6: There will be as big a crowd of Kentucky fans

194
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 6: as any other fan base there in Omaha.

195
00:08:58,960 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 2: I guarantee it.

196
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 5: I gotta. I gotta make a bet with him, just

197
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 5: so I can I can take advantage of this. Drew.

198
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 5: I know you've got vacation coming up, and you got

199
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 5: a birthday. Have you given consider it? Have you shared

200
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 5: where you're going on vacation? First of all, I don't

201
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 5: want to give too much of your personal for me.

202
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 7: I haven't given the precise location, but I am going

203
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 7: to South Florida.

204
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 5: You're going to South Florida.

205
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 7: Do a little beach, Tom.

206
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 5: Have you flipping? You know South Beach for Omaha? Like

207
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 5: they're basically one in the same well. The Missouri River

208
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 5: goes right by, there's sand, there's water or sun.

209
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 7: I have thought about it. In fact, I and a

210
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 7: friend of mine who is in another part of the country,

211
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 7: and a friend of mine in another part of the country,

212
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 7: who all can't go this first weekend, We've all said,

213
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 7: if Kentucky is in that championship, we're all meeting there.

214
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 7: So I'm not a no on Omaha. I just need

215
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 7: Kentucky to win a few games before I can get there.

216
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 7: Because I'm in an airport coming back from Miami the

217
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 7: Saturday of the Championship Series. It's nothing to go up

218
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 7: to that gate and what calling Omaha if you will

219
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 7: and say that Lexington Kentucky flight, I would rather that

220
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 7: one go to Nebraska and I'm there easily, might be

221
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 7: wearing some swim trunks and a tank top, might need

222
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 7: someone to bring me a pea cat and ukgear. But

223
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 7: if they are in that final game, I might be

224
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 7: walking into Rocos and trying to help with that shot chart.

225
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 5: If we're stealing it, Uh yeah, I will say. And

226
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 5: I brought this up on the other the other day.

227
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 5: LSU destroyed the jello shot challenge at Roco's last year. Yeah,

228
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 5: because they had a couple millionaire donors. This guy who

229
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 5: runs at a Chicken Shot was just buying thousands and

230
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 5: thousands of dollars of jello shots and passing them around

231
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 5: the entire bar. I'm not saying it's rig but you're

232
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 5: not just gonna do it by like everybody going up

233
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 5: and ordering shots for their table. Like it's gotta be

234
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 5: a coordinated nil type deal where somebody is sponsoring the

235
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 5: whole thing. That's what it would be. The secret.

236
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 7: I've made up a scenario in my head where me

237
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 7: and my buddies we land on that Saturday night we

238
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 7: assume Joe Kraft is there. We find Joe and we say, Joe,

239
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 7: we need you. We're gonna run a quick errand you

240
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 7: won't be there long. It just need you to stop

241
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 7: by and make a quick contribution to this cause we have.

242
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 7: I've created that scenario in my head, and I hope

243
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 7: we get to that point.

244
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 5: That's a no that's a no brainer. It could be

245
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 5: Kelly like, hey, bring your credit Kelly, Yes, anyway, just

246
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 5: pop in. It's just gonna take a second. Let him

247
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 5: run the card, give them a number and Jello shots

248
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 5: for everybody.

249
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 7: Or I'll take the card. You don't have to leave

250
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 7: the hotel. Give me the card. I'll get this done

251
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 7: and bring it back to you hopefully at some point.

252
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 7: But I would love for that situation to pop up.

253
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 5: I can see that happening. It is such a cool experience,

254
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 5: like it's I don't want to say it's not stressful,

255
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 5: because if your team's there, you want your team to win,

256
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 5: and so like every pitch can be sitting on pins

257
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 5: and needles, I'm sure, but it's so relaxed. And there's

258
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 5: there's a little league tournament that's going on with thousands

259
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 5: of kids, you know, just down the road and they

260
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 5: all come to the games and sit in the bleachers

261
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 5: and dudes who are carrying around cups of beer, and

262
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 5: there's a right across from right field and another bar

263
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 5: behind him plate, and another one at the third base line,

264
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 5: and you go, if you don't like beer, that's fine,

265
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 5: go get his Esto's and have a have a you know,

266
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 5: a swirly ice cream cone or whatever it might be.

267
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 5: It's just it is an incredible experience. And I imagine

268
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 5: I was there when Michigan was there. I've been there

269
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 5: when Lshu roots there. I've been there when Florida State

270
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 5: was there. I've seen like big schools have an impact

271
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 5: on Omaha. And to see the community and the camaraderie

272
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 5: between the fans, whether you know him or not, just

273
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 5: walking down the street and everybody dressed in blue. Man,

274
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 5: it's gonna be It's gonna be really cool. I'm so

275
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 5: happy for the for the Cats and for that team.

276
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 5: I don't know what I'm doing. By the way, when

277
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 5: I host this show, I know it better. We got

278
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 5: to guess at the bottom of the hour, do we

279
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 5: have a break before we have a like we need

280
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 5: to go to break Shannon.

281
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 2: We can.

282
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you want to show you what I want.

283
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm gonna drive it straight off the cliff.

284
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 5: I have driving Miss Daisy. I don't know what I'm

285
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 5: doing here. I'm just motoring along. Ran. I can't believe

286
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 5: you're not going well.

287
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 6: Like Drew, the things have opened up where if they

288
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 6: can get past the first two games, I think there's

289
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 6: a chance we can all get ready to go over there.

290
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 6: I might even be able to go Monday. I can't

291
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 6: go Saturday the first game, but Monday is a strong

292
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 6: possibility I can go.

293
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 4: So you driving, You're driving all the way there and

294
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 4: then coming right back.

295
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, driving going to the game one.

296
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 4: Night there and then ten hours right back.

297
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 7: I love it.

298
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

299
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 7: How many times we've been to Omaha?

300
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 4: See?

301
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, it gotta do it.

302
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 7: I drove straight to Newark when we played Ohio State.

303
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 7: I got off my couch, drove to New Jersey because

304
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 7: someone gave me a ticket at the last minute, and

305
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 7: then I drove back. Sometimes you gotta drive long distances

306
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 7: on short notice to support the Cats'.

307
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 5: I cannot wait. All right, we're gonna cover a little

308
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 5: bit about the games. I just had n C State.

309
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 5: I had their super Regional gets Athens. I'll give you

310
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,720

Speaker 5: going to get to Omaha for the National Championship in

327
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 5: like I don't know, ten days, a week and a

328
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 5: half something like that, and just parties. His brain's out. Hey, Ryan,

329
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 5: do you know what the streisand effect is?

330
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 2: I've heard of this I've heard.

331
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 6: I can't think of what it is right now, but

332
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 6: I've heard of it.

333
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 5: Drew, you probably know, right, No, I'm with Ryan.

334
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 7: It sounds familiar, but I can't. I can't give you the.

335
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 5: Def The Streisand effect is when you try to suppress

336
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 5: some information and in the effort to do so, it

337
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 5: flushes it out even wider. All right, So, like twenty

338
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 5: years ago, there was a picture of the Malibu coast

339
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 5: taken the document Coastal Erosion, and this huge mansion near

340
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 5: the edge of this cliff as it is eroded. It

341
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 5: turns out that the mansion was Barbara Streisands. Nobody knew

342
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 5: it wasn't identified whatever, But she flipped out and her

343
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 5: lawyers tried to suppress the photograph and said, you can't

344
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 5: use that, that's our private residence. But all it did

345
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 5: was bring more attention to it. All it did was

346
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 5: cause people to search was Barbara Streisand's home, and then

347
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 5: they saw it. And then instead of like a few

348
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 5: people seeing it and nobody knowing it was her house,

349
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 5: millions of people saw it. So it completely backfired on her.

350
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 5: So Joey Chestnut has been banned from Nathan's Hot dog

351
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 5: eating contests. Hen he got banned because of his group

352
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 5: called Major League Eating is mad because he is sponsoring

353
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 5: now like a near meat or whatever you call those things,

354
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 5: like some sort of vegan hot dog. Well, all they're

355
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 5: doing by banning him is causing people to go, Oh,

356
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 5: I didn't know Joey Chestnut was sponsoring this other company.

357
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 5: I wonder who it is. I wonder if those are

358
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 5: any good? I mean, Drue, don't you think this is

359
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 5: a terrible idea, A for bringing more attention to the

360
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 5: fact that Joey Chestnut has a sponsorship, and b for

361
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 5: banning the guy who makes your event watchable. He's the

362
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 5: best ever.

363
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 7: Oh, this is crazy. I even said yesterday that they

364
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 7: didn't kick him out of the Nathan's Contest. Nathan's removed

365
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 7: itself from the Joey Chestnut Contest. I mean, that is

366
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 7: his day. On July fourth, we tune in to watch

367
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 7: him do things no other human can do. It is

368
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 7: superhuman feats. And they just took out their their MVP,

369
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 7: their star. Name another competitive eater. Okay, Kobeyoshi hadn't done

370
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 7: it for ever, You don't get him. Name one that

371
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 7: would have been that'll be in the field this year.

372
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 2: Don't know.

373
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 7: You don't know because that is Joey Chestnut's event, And

374
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 7: like you said, they hurt themselves and just gave more

375
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 7: attention to his brand and what he's promoting that they

376
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 7: were already upset with in the first place.

377
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 5: He was at the Old Miss Spring game. I was

378
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 5: down there. They had a hot dog eating contest during

379
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 5: the spring game. I was like right next to him

380
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 5: as he's shoving hot dogs in his mouth. It is

381
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 5: It is the most disgusting thing you could be close

382
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 5: to that is televised. I mean I was. I was

383
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 5: absolutely absolutely disgusted. Ryan. Can you think of another sport

384
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 5: that took its star and said, nah, you know what,

385
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 5: we're pretty good. We don't need you, We're fine beat it.

386
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 6: It's crazy because, like Drew said, the only reason you

387
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 6: know anything about competitive eating is because Joey Chestnut and

388
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 6: what he does and the craziness. And by the way

389
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 6: that I thought thought was really cool at the Old

390
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 6: Miss Spring Game. But like, if you're asking me to

391
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 6: think of somebody else, I mean, of course, everybody on

392
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 6: ESPN is going crazy because Caitlyn Clark got left off

393
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 6: the United States Olympic team. I mean, I can't think

394
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 6: of another one whether a superstar is left out of

395
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 6: the competition other than that, off the top of my head.

396
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 5: What about when? What about when Michael Jordan went to

397
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 5: minor league baseball?

398
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, you're.

399
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 4: A minor league.

400
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 5: Why if you're Joey Chestnut, why didn't you start your

401
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 5: own eating league? Well, how hard could it be to

402
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 5: start a major league eating league?

403
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 7: Impossible Foods or the brand or whatever that's gotten removed

404
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 7: from this. They should schedule one at the exact same time,

405
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,959
Speaker 7: stream it or whatever, and just try to get as

406
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 7: much as they can from this. Go ahead to head,

407
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 7: have Joey eating his vegetable hot dogs or whatever he's doing.

408
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 2: That that's the answer. Yeah, that's the answer.

409
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 6: These impossible dogs have their own competition with Joey Chestnut

410
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 6: as the competent. Everybody's gonna watch it and not watch

411
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 6: the other one.

412
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 5: And have you ever had have you ever tried impossible meat?

413
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 4: Actually? I think I have.

414
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 3: My girlfriend's really into this type of stuff. I don't

415
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 3: like it, but I was like, I'm curious, I'll try it.

416
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 5: I mean, wait, hold on, hold on, you said I

417
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 5: think I have. Was she trying to hide it? From you.

418
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 3: You have no idea the deception that goes on at

419
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 3: my house at dinner time. You know, like I think

420
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 3: that I'm eating French fries, but those are actually carrot

421
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 3: French fries. This type of thing that I'm talking about

422
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 3: with the impossible burgers. I think I'm eating, you know, beef,

423
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 3: and what is it. It's actually vegetable beef. So this

424
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 3: happens all the time. To me, I'm not Sometimes she

425
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,479
Speaker 3: slides it by me and I don't realize it. But

426
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 3: there's other times I'm going, something's a little off here,

427
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 3: what's up with this?

428
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 4: I go, I look at the package. It's it's not

429
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 4: real beef.

430
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 5: I think. I think Shannon's trying to go with the

431
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 5: streisand effect here. I think he does it himself so

432
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 5: he can fit into the Spider Man costume that he's

433
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 5: going to wear tonight.

434
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 6: Oh, with Tom, we make sure it's an extra extra

00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 6: small Spider Man costume for Shannon tonight. Yes, I can't

436
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,160

00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 6: to see shanning the costume tonight.

Speaker 5: going on tonight? It's Marvel trivia.

440
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 3: It's Marvel trivia. I hope somebody has already written my

441
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 3: questions for me. That way, there's no effort on my part.

442
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 3: I just have to look good in that Spider Man costume.

443
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 3: But it starts at seven o'clock. And how does this work?

444
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 5: Ryan?

445
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 3: I mean, you guys do trivia all the time at

446
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 3: the bar? Is it first come, first served? Do they

447
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 3: need to reserve a table or how does it work?

448
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 2: There have been people calling for reservations.

449
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 6: They are taking reservations, but you can you can come

450
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 6: here as well, Like we're not expecting it, you know,

451
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 6: to be where we have people out in the street.

452
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 2: You know, you come and get a tab.

453
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, you're telling me I'm putting on a

454
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 3: costume and we're not expecting people to be knocking down

455
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 3: the door to try to come in and hang out

456
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 3: with me.

457
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 4: Is that what you're saying. And you're saying I'm not

458
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:51,880
Speaker 4: popular enough?

459
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 2: I stay corrected.

460
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 6: Yes, you probably need to call for reservation because they're

461
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 6: going to be packed here tonight. Thank you for Shannon

462

00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, what if I called to make a reservation and

464
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 5: I said my name was Hermione?

465
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 4: How would you spell that her termion? You said it wrong, hermione.

466
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 5: I can't wait for you to screw something up tonight.

467
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 5: Don't worry, I'll just get attacked by the Marvel class.

468
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 4: I don't know, like you got to help me out.

469
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 3: Here are the Harry Potter nerds and the comic book nerds?

470
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 3: Are they like on the same level of seriousness. Like

471
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 3: the Harry Potter nerds, you don't want to mess with them.

472
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 3: You screw one thing up, just pronounce something. They're ready to,

473
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 3: you know, cut your throat. But like our comic nerds

474
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 3: like that that into it, on the same level of

475
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 3: Harry Potter fans.

476
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 8: I don't know, Drew, I feel like they could be

477
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 8: like I feel like the ultras, like the ones that

478
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 8: are really into it are are and that are like, oh,

479
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 8: we've got to show up.

480
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 5: Maybe we've never been to Chaos Bar before, but we've

481
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 5: got to show up for trivia. I feel like they are.

482
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:52,199
Speaker 5: They are just as dialed and.

483
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 7: Drew I agree. I think he's much worse off Harry Potter.

484
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 7: I assumes a little younger. They have these brooms they

485
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 7: think they can rod on, not real Marvel. Well, he

486
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 7: might catch a thor hammer in the back of the

487
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 7: head if he's not asking these questions the way the

488
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 7: way they want the masked. I don't know what other

489
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 7: other Marvel weapons there are, but I would keep my

490
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 7: head on a swivel tonight if in case you screw up.

491
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 5: Well, I am allowed to bring a thorn hammer in like,

492
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 5: if absolutely encouraged.

493
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 6: Yeah, we want people to come dressed in costume to

Speaker 6: join Shannon tonight for all the Marvel comic trivia.

495
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 7: Maybe a rival Spider Man we could see who looks

496
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 7: better that.

497
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 3: We could do the baseball Yeah, exactly, Yeah, be great.

Speaker 5: SEC and SEC. Nobody else qualified, nobody else is invited.

503
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 5: It is just crazy to party part. It's nuts. I

504
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 5: don't think it's great for college baseball. That's a whole

505
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 5: nother conversation. Be Like, if I had a radio show,

506
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 5: we could talk about it. I don't know. Cassar continues

507
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 5: right after this.

508
00:22:58,640 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 7: TJ.

509
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 4: Smith, personal and attorney called TJ.

510
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:02,480

Speaker 4: Here's Matt Jones, Mark.

513
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 5: Sitting in for Matt Jones today. I think a lot

514
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 5: of Wednesdays over the course of this summer, we got

515
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 5: Drew and Ryan and Mario and Lexington, Shannons and Louisville.

516
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 5: The special guest today is also in Louisville. He's Chris Burke. Burkie,

517
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 5: You're a regular on Basilio show. You graduated from Tennessee,

518
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 5: even though you live in Louisville. Do you feel like

519
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 5: you're crossing over the dark side right now?

520
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 9: I think the dark side probably a little hyperbole, but

521
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 9: I do feel like I'm on a road trip here.

522
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 9: I'm definitely playing as a visiting team, so I always

523
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 9: like hitting lead off on the road, so I'm enjoying this.

524
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 5: Let's go all right, that's great. Hey, listen, I'm trying

525
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 5: to explain to these guys before we dial into like

526
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 5: the x's and o's, why Omaha is such a great trip,

527
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 5: whether you're going with your family or just with your

528
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 5: boys or baseball. Did you just want to go have

529
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 5: a couple of cold beers You've been going there for

530
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 5: since when nineteen? I mean you played in it, but

531
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 5: you've been covering it since eighteen or nine.

532
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 9: No, the first year I was there as a broadcaster

533
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 9: fifteen and calling games since seventeen.

534
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 5: I think, so seventeen. Okay, what is it about Omaha?

535
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 5: Like if you were just trying to sell somebody on

536
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 5: the idea that makes it a great event for a fan, right,

537
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 5: let's say kind of take the baseball out of it.

538
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 2: What is.

539
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,479
Speaker 9: Well, it's eight different fan bases, So I think that

540
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 9: that makes it a blast. You get the experience, you know,

541
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 9: the the bigness of the event with people from all

542
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 9: different stretches of the country. This year it's a little

543
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 9: more regionalized than normal, but I do think that part

544
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 9: makes it fun and unique. The College World Series, it's

545
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 9: it's a big league environment from a from a grand

546
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 9: stage standpoint with kids, so you get the newness and

547
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 9: allness of young athletes experience experiencing the grandest stage most

548
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 9: of them will ever play on. So I think that's

549
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,719
Speaker 9: really cool. And then I just think the city of Omaha,

550
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 9: the fact that it's in the same place every year,

551
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 9: you know, different but similar. In Augusta like you get

552
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 9: to know it, you fall in love with it. The

553
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 9: city really opens their arms to everybody, and the way

554
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 9: they've developed downtown with all the hotels and all the

555
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 9: restaurants and all the night life. Like everybody, especially from

556
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 9: the Kentucky fan base that's reached out to me as

557
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 9: first time travelers, is like, where you know, where should

558
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 9: I stay? And I just anywhere downtown. You have to

559
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 9: stay downtown because once you're downtown, all you got to

560
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 9: do is walk out your your hotel door, and the

561
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 9: world's your oysters. So it's a it's very unique in

562
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 9: that regard, and it's a it's a mus trip for

563
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 9: anybody that loves big sporting events.

564
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 5: You put it really well, You explain it better than

565
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 5: I did. All right, give us, give us the odds.

566
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 9: That would be a first tom. That would be.

567
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 5: Tennessee is the number one national seed. They've got Florida

568
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 5: state to start things off. Like, if you had to

569
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 5: pick two favorites to make it to the finals right now,

570
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 5: who would they be? And why?

571
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 9: You know, I think, at the risk of sounding cliche,

572
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 9: it would be Tennessee and Kentucky. I mean they're number

573
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 9: one and number two seeds for a reason. They're both

574
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 9: playing at a at a very high level. In the postseason,

575
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 9: you know, Kentucky obviously undefeated. Tennessee had the one hiccup

576
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 9: against an Evansville team that just you know, could absolutely mash.

577
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 9: But you know, I just think on paper, it's those

578
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 9: two teams for two different reasons. I think Tennessee's the

579
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 9: bigness of the ballpark and the Tennessee the win for

580
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 9: the wind to blow in. Its certainly not advantageous for Tennessee,

581
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 9: but people forget it's a very good defense, especially in

582
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 9: very good outfield defense. And it's the number three e

583
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 9: r A in the country. So even though they probably

584
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 9: won't hit seven home runs like they did in Game

585
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 9: three of the Super Regional, the their power is not

586
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 9: flucish if you look at you know, Kentucky fans saw

587
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 9: how many home runs they hit in that series. So

588
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 9: it's it's an offense that is certainly capable of hitting

589
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 9: the ball out of any ballpark. But it's a probably

590
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 9: it's a more complete team than I think people give

591
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 9: them credit for. And then from Kentucky standpoint, and I'm

592
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 9: just excited about the brand of ball they play. I

593
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 9: think that they're they're up in this event was probably

594
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 9: uh Virginia as far as a offense that I don't

595
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 9: think is concerned at all about the the offensive environment

596
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 9: and whether the ball is getting out of the ballpark

597
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 9: or not. And I think from that standpoint, Kentucky's offense

598
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 9: has a chance to shine. Now. I was very concerned

599
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 9: about Kentucky's bullpen down the stretch of the of the

600
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 9: season and into Hoover. But man, have they pitched fantastic

601
00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 9: in this in the postseason. So maybe those those struggles

602
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,199
Speaker 9: or behind them, and if they get the pitching that

603
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 9: they've had the last few weekends, Kentucky's going to be

604
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 9: a very tough out in this deal.

605
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,239
Speaker 5: What about the style of play, Like, how does that

606
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 5: how does that fit for Kentucky in that ballpark?

607
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, I just I think again, I think their hitters,

608
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 9: you know, Kentucky Proud Park is already it's I think,

609
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 9: dimensions wise, it's it's almost identical to Charles schwap Field.

610
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 9: So and if you talk to Mene, that was part

611
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 9: of the design of why they did that way, and

612
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 9: especially early in the year Kentucky, Like if you look

613
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,479
Speaker 9: at Kentucky's home runs, they were a top five home

614
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 9: run hitting team in SEC play, but not overall for

615
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 9: the season. I think part of that is just, you

616
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 9: know what, it's cold and windy early. That ballpark plays

617
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 9: really big, and so I don't think it's an offense

618
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 9: that is spooked if they show up one day and

619
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 9: the winds blown in twenty miles an hour. Because they

620
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 9: take hit by pitches, because they steal bases, because they

621
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 9: bumper hit, because they sacked bunt up and down the

622
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 9: lineup and if you look at it, led the league

623
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 9: in doubles. So it's an offense that can slug but

624
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 9: doesn't necessarily rely on home runs.

625
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 2: Chris, Hey, this Ryan Lemon.

626
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 6: We know you're a Tennessee guy, but you're from Saint

627
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 6: X and Kentucky's first baseman Saint X guy, and he's

628
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 6: you know, Ryan Nicholson has had this unbelievable year. But

629
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 6: this is where Kentucky's taking such advantage of the transfer portal.

630
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 6: You know, they're shortstoffs from incarnate word. You know, Ryan

631
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 6: Nicholson transferred from Cincinnati. I mean they got all these

632
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 6: guys where the transfer portal. This is the good part

633
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 6: of the transfer portal when you see these guys like

634
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 6: Ryan Nicholson getting a chance to play on a big

635
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 6: stage that he probably wouldn't have got last year at Cincinnati.

636
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 9: Yeah. I mean, first of all, my man, Ryan Nicholson

637
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 9: like such a cool story. My dad called me. I

638
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 9: don't know, I guess it was probably six years ago now,

639
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 9: And to Ryan Nicholson's senior year, I believe him and

640
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 9: a kid by name of Cam Shielder both went to Cincinnati,

641
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 9: and then they had a shortstop by the name of

642
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 9: Trey Sweeney that ended up being a first round pick

643
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 9: by the Yankees and now in Triple A with the

644
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 9: with the Dodgers, and ended up going to Eastern Illinois

645
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 9: or Southern Illinois, some small school like and three kids

646
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 9: that my dad really loved that did not get Power

647
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 9: five offers.

648
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 5: Uh.

649
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 9: And I remember specifically, my dad like Nicholson the best,

650
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 9: so he and I have gotten a kick out of

651
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 9: watching Nicholson have such a such a great season. And

652
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 9: you're right. The transfer portal is a huge part of

653
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 9: Kentucky Store. I mean pooser. Their their ace is from

654
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 9: college at Charleston and Cami O'Bryant, one of their best

655
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 9: relievers is I want to say Boston College or he's

656
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,959
Speaker 9: a portal guy. Then you look at their lineup third days, shortstop,

657
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 9: first base, left field, and center field, I believe are

658
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 9: all are all transfer players. So Nick Benzione has killed

659
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 9: the portal and I think specifically the addition of Nicholson,

660
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 9: because Nicholson really represents how well they played in the SEC.

661
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 9: This year He's got whatever, He's got twenty home runs.

662
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 9: I think seventeen or sixteen of them were inn SEC game,

663
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 9: So they would not be where they are without Ryan Nicholson.

664
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 5: Have you a lot Let you go? Oh, go ahead, Ryan,

665
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 5: go ahead?

666
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 7: Drew here got one more question, Chris, You had a

667
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 7: lot of success in baseball, got a pretty famous walk off,

668
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 7: and the majors had several years there. But just looking back,

669
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 7: how important is just that memory of making it to

670
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 7: own MA Hall and being with your college guys and

671
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 7: just that experience looking back? And how much will Kentucky's

672
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 7: players Do you think they'll remember it whatever happens there?

673
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think there's two parts to your question that

674
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 9: are important. Number One, you know, the College World Series

675
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 9: really is the pinnacle of our sport, and so once

676
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 9: you you don't realize it, like a lot of things,

677
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 9: I'm sure you guys can relate to. There's a lot

678
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 9: of things that happen when you're twenty twenty two years

679
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 9: old that you don't appreciate, but certainly the achievement of

680
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 9: getting there as a team is something that will carry

681
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 9: these men forever. Kentucky University, you know, does such a

682
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 9: great job of celebrating their legends, and this is a

683
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 9: team that'll they'll they'll get called back ten year reunion,

684
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 9: twenty years reunion. You know, they'll they'll be able to

685
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 9: celebrate this so much as their as their life unfolds.

686
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 9: And again, most of these kids will never play in

687
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 9: the big league, so you know, these pictures will hang

688
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 9: in their offices, these stories will be told forever, and

689
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 9: so from that perspective, it's really cool. I also am

690
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 9: super excited for the Kentucky fan base as a whole,

691
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 9: because you know, for me, like the watching new fan

692
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 9: bases fall in love with the sport is one of

693
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 9: my favorite things about doing what I do, and so

694
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 9: Tennessee has definitely done that over the last five years.

695
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 9: And to see the Kentucky fan base get to experience

696
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 9: the modern college baseball game, the journey of a great

697
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 9: regular season and then now culminating College World Series just

698
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 9: a joy, especially for a kid who grew up in

699
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 9: the great state of Kentucky. So for that, I'm excited.

700
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 9: But lastly, I think the challenge for a team that

701
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 9: makes it either for the first time in a while

702
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 9: or the first time ever is to actually lock in

703
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 9: and and remember you're playing for a national championship. And

704
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 9: so from that standpoint, I'm very curious to see how

705
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 9: Kentucky performs, because you know, it's easy to get bright

706
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 9: eyed and and and maybe get away from the focus of,

707
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 9: you know, each pitch in each of bat because there

708
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 9: are so many new demands and it is such a

709
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 9: big event.

710
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 5: Barky, before I let you go, give me one team

711
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 5: outside of those two that has the ability to win

712
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 5: the whole thing.

713
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 9: I think Virginia is very scary. I love their offense.

714
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 9: This is Virginia's third time in the last four years.

715
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 9: They're pitching almost reminds me of when they won it

716
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 9: all in fifteen, where it's like they really only have

717
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 9: five guys, but their five guys are are like on

718
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 9: a heater and really pitching with a lot of confidence.

719
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 9: And I just have seen the way Brian O'Connor manages

720
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 9: his offense in the College World Series like they have

721
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 9: no album playing whatever style will play, the circumstances and

722
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 9: the weather dictate. So I would say Virginia to me

723
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 9: is a team outside of the other top two that

724
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 9: I've that I have circled to win the whole thing.

725
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 5: Dude, thanks for coming on. I really appreciate it. I

726
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 5: know you're going to have a blast up there. Can't

727
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,800
Speaker 5: wait to watch my pleasure.

728
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 9: I appreciate the opportunity. Thanks for thanks for inviting me

729
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 9: on the road. Appreciate it.

730
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 5: That's Chris Burke. He'll be calling the College World Series

731
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 5: from Friday all the way through to the to the

732
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 5: very end and the National Championship. Now. Now, Burkey's a volunteer,

733
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 5: and he played at Tennessee and he hurt Drew's braves

734
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 5: with a walk off home run in the eighteenth inning

735
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,399
Speaker 5: against Joey Devine. So he's got he's got a couple

736
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 5: of marks against him, but he is an awesome dude

737
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,839
Speaker 5: and one of my dearest friends. And I want him

738
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:58,919
Speaker 5: to feel the power. Here's my idea for the day.

739
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 5: I want him to feel the hour of this show.

740
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 5: So like if you know him, because he lives in Louisville.

741
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 5: There's a lot of people listening right now that know him.

742
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 5: Send him a text, be like, bro, that was great,

743
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,399
Speaker 5: love having you on the show. Or or tweet him, hey, dude,

744
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 5: that was great love having you on the show. Because

745
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 5: he thinks Basilio's show is bigger than this one. So

746
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 5: I just I think it'd be nice, and it'd be

747
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 5: nice to give him a little reminder, you know what

748
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 5: I mean?

749
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 6: Like, what is he on Twitter?

750
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 5: Uh?

751
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 6: Is it at Chris bur two? Is that him we

752
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 6: got to find Yeah, we we We've definitely got it.

753
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 7: Yes, that is at Chris Burke O two correct.

754
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 5: I think I also think it would be really like

755
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 5: if you there are plenty of people now that have

756
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 5: played golf with Chris Burke in Louisville, that know him

757
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 5: from Louisville, know his family. There are plenty of people

758
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 5: listening to have his phone number. Just just shoot him

759
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 5: a text, you know, hey, dude, that was great. I

760
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 5: think that'd be loveful. We got one more break, Shannon

761
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:57,879
Speaker 5: in the hour, and we take it an hour later.

762
00:35:58,080 --> 00:35:58,879
Speaker 4: Let's take it right now.

763
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 5: Let's take it right now, and we've got a lot

764
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 5: to talk about. When we returned, Jerry West has passed away.

765
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 2: I love get it.

766
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 5: On Drew's birthday, we'll talk about that. Kentucky Sports Radio

767
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 5: continues after this, we continue to celebrate Drew's birthday an

768
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 5: epic day. We're gonna make it like I don't know

769
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 5: if you guys have noticed this, but like twenty year

770
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 5: olds now thirty year olds, they don't just have a birthday,

771
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 5: they have a birthday week. Yes, I feel like that's

772
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 5: a that's a little like, look at me selfish and

773
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,240
Speaker 5: we never had a birthday week. But that being said,

774
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 5: Drew deserves it, and I feel like this vacation is

775
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 5: gonna be a birthday week for you. Is that what

776
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 5: I'm what I'm sensing accurate? Uh?

777
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 7: Yes. My wife always makes fun of me because we

778
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,600

Speaker 7: it's the week of my birthday and my birthday trip.

781
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,640

Speaker 7: might provide something if you were to say that, You're quick.

809
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 5: To the night. Jerry West passed away guys. He was

810
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 5: eighty six years old. He was the one that built

811
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 5: the Lakers in their ten titles in the in the

812
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 5: eighties and two thousands. Then he was an advisor to

813
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 5: Golden State's run. But he was also an incredible player,

814
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 5: Captain of the US Olympic team in nineteen sixty fourteen

815
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 5: time All Star, twelve time All NBA, five time All

816
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 5: Defensive Team, and the logo that's on every goal is

817
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:37,839
Speaker 5: Jerry west Ran. What do you think of first? Like

818
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 5: that is a storied career as a player and an executive,

819
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 5: what do you think of first when you hear Jerry

820
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 5: west name.

821
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 6: Well, when he was a player, that was just that

822
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 6: was a little before my time. I was still a

823
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 6: little guy, so I don't I don't really remember him

824
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 6: as a player. So my memory of him is just

825
00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 6: seeing the highlight, the replay highlights and him win a

826
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 6: wristband and a really good player. But then the main

827
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 6: memory though, was him putting me, like you said, putting

828
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 6: that Lakers team together, as the man that kind of

829
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 6: made that dynasty real was Jerry ress Wes putting all

830
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 6: the pieces together.

831
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 5: Showtime Lakers Drew may been one of the most fun

832
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 5: teams ever ever put together between the glitz and glamour

833
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 5: of Hollywood and Magic Johnson and the NBA was just

834
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 5: like on such a rocket ship rise at that time.

835
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 5: I feel like that was you could put him on

836
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,240
Speaker 5: the Mount rushmore most exciting teams.

837
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 7: Of course, like I guess most of us on here

838
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 7: and listening, I don't remember Jerry West the player. I

839
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 7: know he went to the finals several times, all of

840
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 7: his accomplishments, but I think of him more of the

841
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 7: GM as the Lakers or the best player out of

842
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 7: West Virginia. But I think the HBO show, and part

843
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 7: of me struggles with how much that was exact and

844
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 7: how much was it because part of it is like

845
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 7: Jerry West didn't want Magic Johnson, but then he drafted

846
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,720
Speaker 7: Magic Johnson ended up obviously one of the best Lakers

847
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 7: of all time, and what was he the GM for

848
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,240
Speaker 7: like twenty years? So you think of all those teams,

849
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 7: that was a part of it. But that that HBO

850
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,240
Speaker 7: show is where I've learned a lot of my Jerry

851
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 7: West knowledge and I'm just hoping it's all accurate or

852
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 7: close to it.

853
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:20,720
Speaker 5: At least he didn't want to draft Magic.

854
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 7: That was a storyline in there. Yeah, Sidney Montcreef, I

855
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 7: think was Jerry West pick he didn't see a six

856
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:28,959
Speaker 7: eight six nine point guard working out in the NBA.

857
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 6: That there's some kind of legendary story Tom and I

858
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 6: always need like Oscar Combs or somebody when Jerry Wes's

859
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 6: is being recruited, like eight off Rupp was like he

860
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 6: almost went to Kentucky.

861
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 2: I think that's the story.

862
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 6: Everybody tells that Jerry West almost came to Kentucky before

863
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 6: picking West Virginia.

864
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 5: That would have been that would have been something. I'll

865
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 5: try to find it. I'll try to find that for

866
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 5: out number two, Shannon. Do we have some callers?

867
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 2: We do? We do.

868
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 4: Let's go to Diane.

869
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,080
Speaker 10: Hey, good morning guy, I'm sure are you all today?

870
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 10: Hey calling up? Have a little bit of input on

871
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 10: Ryan going to Omaha. A little story. My dad, who

872
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 10: since passed, and my son who was about ten at

873
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 10: the time, we dropped everything. Sunday afternoon, drove to New

874
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 10: Jersey to watch Pope and the Cats beat Syracuse and

875
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,280
Speaker 10: we spent the night in Pennsylvania, got to the game,

876
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 10: didn't have tickets, came back, started back that night, so

877
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 10: we made basically a two day trip out of it,

878
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 10: and I'll never forget it and I'm so glad we

879
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 10: did it.

880
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 5: That's awesome. Thanks for the call, Dan. Yeah, it's about

881
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 5: it's about making memories right and having experiences even when

882
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 5: they're imperfect. I think that's I think the most imperfect

883
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 5: experiences are the best. Like, oh, bro, it took us

884
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:53,799
Speaker 5: twelve hours to get there. I mean, you know, Drew,

885
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 5: like not everything's going to be Disney World where every

886
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 5: sidewalk is perfect, right.

887
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's why you don't think of about the twelve

888
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:03,360
Speaker 7: hours you're in the car. You're just looking forward to

889
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 7: that experience you're about to have, whether it be Omaha

890
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 7: or a basketball game. You tone out the logistics of

891
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 7: getting there.

892
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, and if you get bored, you can always work

893
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 5: on your aids. I mean, there's plenty of things to

894
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 5: do it on a long road trip. I've got another

895
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,359
Speaker 5: picture I'm gonna put on my Instagram and I'll talk

896
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 5: you through why cause drama back of this
