00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 3: of how many National Players of the Year have we

32
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,240

34
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:43,200

35
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:44,160

40
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 5: Oh it's great.

41
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, you gotta you gotta love being in that group.

42
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, what's that's what it's about? Uh?

43
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 3: So you part of the twenty fifteen team. I was

44
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 3: just saying that I think it's, along with the ninety

45
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 3: six team, the best team here. Make the case for

46
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 3: the twenty fifteen team as the best of all time,

47
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 3: because I think you believe it.

48
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean I just I just think

49
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 7: with the the amount of guys we had, I mean,

50
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 7: even even like our tenth and eleven guy or you know,

51
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 7: off the bench, you know, like they could go somewhere

52
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 7: else and start probably.

53
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 4: I mean Derek Wilson, Dominique Hawkins didn't.

54
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,399
Speaker 5: Play, yeah, and their starter somewhere else.

55
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I don't know.

56
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 7: So when you when you look at it like that,

57
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 7: it's just there's just too much talent and not I

58
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 7: don't think any probably eighty percent of us got to

59
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 7: tap into our whole talent.

60
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 3: What were those practices like every day? Did you get

61
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 3: to the point that you didn't want to see Dakari

62
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 3: Johnson ever again after because you probably do practice against

63
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 3: him like every day, right.

64
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's cat had a guard to carry. Don't really

65
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 7: have to guard him too much. I was guarding Marcus.

66
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 4: They put your microphone up there next there you go,

67
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 4: you guard Marcus lea.

68
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was guarding Marcus and uh Kat had to

69
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 7: guard Dakari. So yeah, them two bodies got the clash

70
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 7: against each other a lot.

71
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 3: What was the moment that year that you knew like

72
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 3: this is gonna be special, like this is a special team.

73
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 5: Uh.

74
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 7: Probably the summer, like when the new guys came in

75
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 7: after like we had been there already, you know what

76
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 7: I mean.

77
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 5: And uh, I mean.

78
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 7: The first like three weeks of practicing and like playing

79
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 7: pick up like we were fighting.

80
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 5: It was just fight.

81
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 4: You know.

82
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 5: It was like the Twins versus book and Tyler.

83
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 3: And you know, I always got the sense you tell

84
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 3: me if this is right, the Twins versus Booker and Tyler.

85
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 4: Everybody liked each other, but there was, oh there was something.

86
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 7: There right after the fact everybody liked each other at first.

87
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 7: I don't I don't think that was the case. I mean,

88
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 7: they weren't supposed to be here, you know what I mean,

89
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 7: Like it got like over, like Twin should have left

90
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 7: bucking Tyler come up. You know that's how it goes.

91
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 7: That's how it's like recruited here. So when that when

92
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 7: we all come back, it kind of like stacks it up.

93
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 7: So now it's you you create a little competition. It's

94
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 7: where it's you know, more times than not, it's given

95
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 7: to you. Now it's like you got a competition where

96
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 7: like well these guys already proved this, like we can't

97
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 7: just slide them out. You kind of had a battle

98
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 7: for it. So I think they set it up for

99
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 7: the battle.

100
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 6: Did you.

101
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 3: I mean, during the year, everybody said the right things

102
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 3: about the platoon in the moment, did you all like

103
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 3: it or not?

104
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 7: I think in the beginning we didn't like it, But

105
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 7: then once we started just running people out the gym

106
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 7: like they were tired by the time, you know what

107
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 7: I mean, we're like still like, coach, can I please

108
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 7: go back in, because, like you know, you're not tired.

109
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 7: And so once once we kind of got like, you know,

110
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 7: five six games in of playing it like that, then

111
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 7: it was like, Okay, we see the benefit in what

112
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 7: we're doing.

113
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 3: Let me take a step back. I like to go

114
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 3: through people's careers. So you came in here. How many

115
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 3: times Ryan? Did we hear he played wide receiver in

116
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:03,559
Speaker 3: high school?

117
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: Probably every single game, every single game for three years?

118
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 4: Did you?

119
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 3: I mean you don't see the TV broadcast, but did

120
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 3: you know like that that's what was said about you

121
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 3: every single game?

122
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 4: Yeah?

123
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, no, it's I mean I get on Twitter

124
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 7: afterwards and it's on there.

125
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,119
Speaker 4: Did you? So you did play wide receiver in high school?

126
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 4: Were you good? That was great? You'd be hard to

127
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 4: cover at six eleven.

128
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 7: That was They would try everything, triple coverages, double coverages.

129
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 7: Put a linebacker on me off the line, but the

130
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 7: linebackers like little other than me.

131
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 3: So you came here your freshman year, didn't play a

132
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 3: ton backed up Neurlands and then he gets hurt and

133
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 3: so you you you play a little bit more when

134
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 3: you came here. What was the amount of time you

135
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 3: thought you were gonna say? You didn't think you were

136
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 3: a one and done when you came, did you?

137
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 5: Uh?

138
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 6: Bro?

139
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 5: When I came here, I was just I was just

140
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 5: coming for the ride. Bro.

141
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 7: I wouldn't really have an expectation of what it was

142
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 7: going to be like. I mean, that's why I came,

143
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 7: was because they said you would be, you know, like

144
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 7: a one and done or have a chance to go

145
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 7: to the to the league quick. So that's why that's

146
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 7: why I came. But as soon as I got here,

147
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 7: I didn't know it was gonna be like that. I

148
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 7: mean like as soon as I signed, I was already

149
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 7: like top fifteen on the on the board, and I

150
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 7: hadn't even played a game yet. I was like, how

151
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 7: the hell, how does that make sense?

152
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 3: But so the first year, there's the struggles end up

153
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,679
Speaker 3: in the n I T. Second year, you know, everybody

154
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 3: remembers the run, But during the regular season that twenty

155
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 3: fourteen team, there were a lot of struggles that year too,

156
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 3: And I mean, you guys played a lot of close games.

157
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 4: On the road where you would lose right at the end.

158
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 3: Did you during that time feel like, though, you know,

159
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 3: there's still something else with this group?

160
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 5: Oh?

161
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean at that that particular year, I mean,

162
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 7: we were still putting it together. So when people kind

163
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 7: of ask about it, it's like, I think people think

164
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 7: that we were because we the eight seed. Yes, we

165
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 7: were better than the eight seed. I think we just

166
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 7: got kind of hold on it and just because of

167
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 7: who we are, you know what I mean.

168
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 3: And like, well, Wichita State is the one that ended

169
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 3: up getting screwed on it because they were undefeated and

170
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,119
Speaker 3: had to play you guys in the second round.

171
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 5: But were they seed?

172
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 4: What do you mean what they were one? I'm just

173
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 4: saying like they shouldn't have had to play you, But

174
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:22,679
Speaker 4: why were they seed?

175
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 6: I know?

176
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 5: But like so you're saying we're better.

177
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 3: Than we were better than an eight seed, and I

178
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 3: think that hurt them in some ways in there. But

179
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 3: let's go to that game. It's an often forgotten game.

180
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 3: That's one of the best. Don't you agree That's one

181
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 3: of the best college basketball games I've ever seen.

182
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 6: It was awesome. It was great big shot after big shot.

183
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 3: Yeah Baker and fred Fred Van Fleet clear Anthony Early,

184
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 3: who didn't I don't think playing the NBA, but was.

185
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 7: A great knowledgey he did play getting shot and the

186
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 7: Knicks got shot in the league.

187
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 4: I didn't know that. Well that's a bummer, sorry to

188
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 4: hear that.

189
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 3: But but that game, that was one of the most

190
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 3: awesome in the moment games I can remember.

191
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 7: Crazy well for me for sure, because I'm from Kansas,

192
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 7: so I got to play a k state and then

193
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 7: to get into that game play which it's all and

194
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 7: it was like it was different, you know what I mean.

195
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 4: Yeah. So then game against Louisville in Indianapolis.

196
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 3: Louisville's coming off a national championship, we had won one

197
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 3: two years ago.

198
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 4: It was like the rubber match.

199
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 3: I tell you, personally, I've never been more nervous about

200
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 3: a game in my life. I almost got I got

201
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 3: spin on I got the woman tried to throw up

202
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:35,719
Speaker 3: on me, like it was one of the wildest.

203
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 6: This was during a pregame show.

204
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 1: These people are coming up to him during the pregame

205
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: show and giving him the accident.

206
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 3: They accidentally booked my pregame show at a Louisville pregame party,

207
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 3: and I just decided, I just decided to talk trash

208
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 3: and a woman tried to throw up on me. But

209
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 3: that one, that game, what's what? What was it like

210
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 3: to be in it?

211
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 8: Man?

212
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 7: It was I mean anytime, like I said, anytime you

213
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 7: get to play an a rivalry game, it's legendary. So

214
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 7: like the fact that I don't know, I've got to

215
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,719
Speaker 7: play in like six of them with them, So I mean,

216
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 7: I broke my ankle that game. So that's how I

217
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 7: really remember in the last shots.

218
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 3: Yeah you didn't that Marcus Lee had to come in there,

219
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 3: and that's when he had played really well against Michigan

220
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 3: and Wisconsin. All right, So get to twenty fifteen. Did

221
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 3: you come back because you broke your ankle? If you

222
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 3: hadn't broken your ankle, would you have left?

223
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 5: I was gone, Yeah, I was out of here.

224
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 4: So I mean, I want to say a blessing in disguise?

225
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 5: I was though, was it? Yeah?

226
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 4: Why do you think that?

227
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 7: Because I still don't think I was ready to go,

228
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 7: but I was gonna go just because of the mom

229
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 7: went to the shit Like what else can you do

230
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 7: better besides winning it? So I mean the draft boards

231
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 7: looked good and like everything was good. So like if

232
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 7: we would have won it, I probably definitely would have won.

233
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 3: Were you bummed out that you had to come back?

234
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 3: I mean, there's got to be a part of it.

235
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 3: It's like I was so close.

236
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 7: I wasn't wasn't bummed just because I was hurt. So

237
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 7: it just made it like like, oh, I have so

238
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 7: much stuff that I want to get done. And like

239
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 7: I remember laying in the hospital but after surgery and

240
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 7: like talking to my boy Rex and was like, man,

241
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 7: I got like so many accolades. I still I haven't won.

242
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 7: I've never won anything, Like I think I want to

243
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 7: go back to school and do it. And then like

244
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 7: fast forward, we got all the accolades and.

245
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 4: All right, so before you did that, we go to

246
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 4: the Bahamas.

247
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 3: That was a good trip, all right, I'm I mean

248
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 3: we might as well just talk about that. I mean,

249
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 3: I mean, first of all years ago. You guys, you

250
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 3: guys had fun on that trip. I mean, that wasn't

251
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 3: just a basketball trip. You guys had fun, and I'm

259
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 7: morning workout and then I was done for the rest

260
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 7: of the day. I got to watch go basketball and

262
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 4: Just yeah, you were with all the boosters, that's one

263
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 4: way to put it.

264
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, you were just just chilling meeting people. It was

265
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 7: a good time.

266
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 5: Yeah.

267
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 4: I can remember.

268
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 3: I would go to bed and my friends that stayed

269
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 3: out later, including this one, that would be when they

270
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 3: would see you show up.

271
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,599
Speaker 4: I was gonna show really some pictures and say do

272
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 4: you remember this moment? But I won't do that on radio.

273
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 4: We'll do that after the show.

274
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 3: We've told I don't want to go into the details

275
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 3: on the morning show. This might be an uncensored podcast,

276
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 3: but we have hinted over the years at the moment

277
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 3: at the pool after you all did the ice Bucket challenge.

278
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 3: Do you remember you did the ice bucket challenge? And

279
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 3: do you remember you walked back to the pool. Do

280
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 3: you remember what was going on at the pool when

281
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 3: you when you showed up, Uh huh.

282
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,719
Speaker 4: Some people not in the UK party were having a

283
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 4: very good time.

284
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 3: Maybe there was a middle of dancing going on in

285
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 3: the middle of the pool, and Cal and those guys

286
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 3: ran off.

287
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 4: Do you remember that?

288
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 5: Actually? I do know.

289
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 4: You'll see that a lot of pools, not.

290
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 5: No, not those, not that type of pool.

291
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 4: Not that type of pool, but that group.

292
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,719
Speaker 3: It did strike me that that Bahamas trip did kind

293
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 3: of bring you guys together.

294
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 4: By the end of the.

295
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 3: Trip, you all seem to have a much bigger connection

296
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 3: maybe than you did before. Do you agree with that?

297
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 5: I think so.

298
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 7: I mean we had a lot of downtime too, where

299
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 7: you know, we were going parasitling and on the beach

300
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 7: Ryan jet skis and it's kind of like he took

301
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 7: us out on the boat and got to you know,

302
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 7: snorkel and do all types of stuff where we're just

303
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 7: all together. I think that's most One thing Kyl does

304
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 7: a really good job of is like putting you in

305
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 7: situations where you have to be around each other, Like

306
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 7: we have these temper peeding beds and we're gonna go

307
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 7: sleep on this floor instead of sleeping these temper peking beds,

308
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 7: you know what I mean. Like it's like stuff like that,

309
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 7: Like he just make you be together.

310
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, well let me I want to come back to

311
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 3: twenty fifteen, but let me talk about Cal for a second.

312
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 3: When you hear Caliperry is going to Arkansas, what is

313
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 3: your thought at that moment?

314
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 7: Damn uh yeah, Like damn, that was It was unexpected.

315
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 7: I think I woke up to it, but I get it.

316
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 7: I get it at the same time, Like you know,

317
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 7: stuff is stagnant. You know, people need change. People need

318
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 7: change to keep keep things moving fresh. And so I

319
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 7: think it was a situation here where like, Okay, we're good,

320
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 7: but we're not as good as we need to be,

321
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 7: and you gotta make a change.

322
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 5: And I think it's mutual.

323
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought it was.

324
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 3: I actually thought it was best for both parties for

325
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 3: that to happen.

326
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 6: Did you.

327
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 3: I always worried about how the former players saw it,

328
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 3: because we're here every day. I think we knew Cal

329
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 3: needed to change. I think we knew we as fans

330
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 3: needed to change. How did former players see it? Like

331
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 3: did you could you feel that that needed to happen?

332
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 5: Yeah?

333
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean you can just you can just tell.

334
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 7: I mean, especially with the new like the way college

335
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 7: is now nil, Like we come from an era of

336
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 7: like we had to like scheme the like how to

337
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 7: get away with stuff like that, you know what I mean?

338
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 7: And now you don't have to do that, and like

339
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 7: now it's like does Kentucky wanted like fun into that?

340
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 5: Well it didn't look like it. So I feel like

341
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 5: there's like a you know.

342
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 4: But did you?

343
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I will just say and I I thought

344
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 3: he changed a little bit in the last few years.

345
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 7: I think he got complacent, okay bit like like when

346
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 7: I was here, I feel like it was intense and

347
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 7: then like you come back and then like the way

348
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 7: he talks to the kids, like, well you didn't talk

349
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 7: to us like that?

350
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 4: Is that right? Did you? Could you see a difference?

351
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 7: Maybe not like it was like he was a little softer,

352
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 7: Like it wasn't like with us man, he was that's

353
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 7: Alex bro Like Alex got the worst of it. I

354
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 7: feel like, so I don't I don't I don't see

355
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 7: when I was here seeing that. I don't feel like

356
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 7: anybody else got like that type of Why.

357
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 4: Did you think Alex got the worst of it? I

358
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 4: always thought Alex got the worst of it too. Why

359
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 4: do you think that was true?

360
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 7: Cause he's just so big, Like he's just he was

361
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 7: supposed to, you know, he was like a a big

362
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 7: guard and a beast so but also like a very

363
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 7: you know, kind human spirited person. So I think cow

364
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 7: is just trying to bring out that monster out of him.

365
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 7: I don't think that's who he is, and so like

366
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 7: trying to bring that out just made him kind of

367
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 7: put him in a lower spot.

368
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 6: Do you cheer well?

369
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,720

370
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:26,680

478
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 7: I was like, oh that was fun. Now, I think

479
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 7: I wanted out the all the time.

480
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 3: Twenty fifteen, I'm gonna give you some moments I remember.

481
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 3: Get your quick take on first of all when you

482
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 3: all nearly held UCLA scoreless in the CBS Classic, maybe

483
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 3: the best defensive performance in the first half I've ever

484
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 3: seen a team half.

485
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 4: I agreed, they couldn't even get shots off.

486
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, they were flustered, and that team.

487
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 4: Went to the Sweet sixteen. They ended up being a

488
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 4: pretty good team.

489
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 5: I mean, they were good, dude, they just not for us.

490
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,479
Speaker 4: Was that one of them? We're in the locker room,

491
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 4: You're like, oh.

492
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,479
Speaker 7: Wow, Actually I actually feel bad for them because like

493
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 7: they it was just the timing that we played them,

494
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 7: Like we had been going crazy, like either playing against

495
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 7: each other and then we're like playing in that little

496
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 7: thing and then it's like Christmas break, so it's like,

497
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 7: once this game is over, we're all getting on the

498
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 7: plane going home.

499
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 5: So it was like, let's just finish this game so

500
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 5: we can go home.

501
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 3: Did you start to feel the weight of the undefeated, Like,

502
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 3: was there a pressure on that group during SEC play?

503
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 7: No, I think the pressure didn't happen until after when

504
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 7: we were first going in. I feel like that's when

505
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 7: it was that's when we were hearing it the most.

506
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,479
Speaker 7: Like during the SEC it was like whatever, But like

507
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 7: once that was over, when we were going into the tournament.

508
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 7: Then it was like a different type of pressure because

509
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 7: now everybody's in the same boat. But now it's like,

510
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 7: are you gonna go undefeated and win this? That's different

511
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 7: than just like, oh, going undefeated in the tournament and

512
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 7: then you win in but it's like as the whole?

513
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 7: Do you start thinking as the whole at that point?

514
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 3: There's an argument fans have sometimes which is there's this

515
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 3: argument that there are people who wanted you to lose

516
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 3: a game because they go back to ninety six and

517
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 3: twenty twelve, two great teams I think, along with twenty fifteen,

518
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 3: those are the great teams of my lifetime. They both

519
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 3: lost in the SEC tournament finals and then won the title.

520
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 3: And there have been people who said, I wish they

521
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 3: would have lost. Do you think it would have helped

522
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 3: you to lose? I always argue no, but maybe I'm wrong.

523
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 3: Do you think it would have helped you to lose?

524
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,719
Speaker 3: I don't think what's the difference. I agree you just lost.

525
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 3: Now you lost.

526
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,719
Speaker 4: But you don't think like that would have helped As

527
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 4: the tournament went.

528
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 7: On, well, you just well know, because so you lose

529
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 7: and then you still it's one game at a time

530
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 7: you lose again and you're over like you win, you win,

531
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 7: So it's regardless we put the pressure on ourselves. The

532
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 7: pressure was gone because the only way it matter was

533
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 7: to lose in the sec right, So after that's over,

534
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 7: everybody has to go undefeated.

535
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 5: Now that's a really good point, know what I mean?

536
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 5: So that we lose, all right, So you lost, but.

537
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 3: I thought the only team going into the tournament, the

538
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,239
Speaker 3: only team I thought had a chance to beat you all,

539
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 3: was Wisconsin just because.

540
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 5: Of the way they played matchup.

541
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 4: Do you agree with that?

542
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 5: Yeah? Yeah, So look.

543
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 4: I know you don't want to think about it, but

544
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 4: tell me about that game.

545
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,959
Speaker 7: Uh, I mean, they just got it. They got us

546
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 7: on a on a night that like we hadn't been

547
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 7: in a position like that where you know, we're necessarily

548
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 7: down in the last few minutes of the game, and

549
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 7: like you know, we're used to putting pressure on other

550
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 7: people on that side of the things. And what our

551
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 7: last three possession, we had two shot clock violations in

552
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 7: an airball like doesn't happen. That hadn't happened the whole year.

553
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 7: They had a shot that was a shot clut, it

554
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 7: was a shotguk.

555
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 4: They should have called it.

556
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 6: Right, I should have called it.

557
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 4: He didn't call it still makes me, still makes everybody mad.

558
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 6: You think about it, and.

559
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 3: You know I'm friends with Big Cat and he's Sam

560
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 3: Decker's friend. I still hate Sam Decker. It's not what

561
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 3: it was root of him to win that game. Will

562
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,239
Speaker 3: you all should have been undefeated. We should have It

563
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:28,720

00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 3: Willie was on his visit in the higahtt lobby. I

578
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 3: went up and asked for a picture, and he said,

579
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 3: why do you want my picture? I don't think he

580
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 3: realized what he was getting into. Is that is that?

581
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 3: Is that possible?

582
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 5: Yeah?

583
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 4: I did not, did you?

584
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 3: I mean, did you have any idea what you were

Speaker 7: No, I'm I'm from Kansas, man. I didn't even know

587
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 7: what Kentucky basketball was so before like calling him actually

588
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 7: came to my house, it was Kansas.

589
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 3: So when you walk on campus and all of a

590
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 3: sudden people are just coming up to you and wanting

Speaker 7: know you. There's there's a couple of ways you can

598
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 7: take it. You can either be like the asshole, or

599
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:00,479
Speaker 7: you can be like the guy that's it's out here

600
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 7: for two hours and sign everybody's autographs. I feel like

601
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 7: that's the that's the route that I took.

602
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 3: And you've always been like that. I mean, I that's

603
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,800

Speaker 3: you throughout the time you seem to be like, I'm

605
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 3: going to talk to these people.

606
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 5: I get it.

607
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 7: I'm I'm small town kids, so like I understand, I

608
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 7: was that kid that was standing outside of a Dia

609
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 7: City Legends game trying to get an autograph from a

610
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 7: semi pro guy.

611
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 6: Is that right? You go to G League games trying to.

612
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 7: Get wasn't even G League at that time, you know

613
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 7: what I mean. It's just like below that in Southwest Kansas.

614
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 3: There's a young woman here who you met when you

615
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 3: were at UK when she was like a child, and

616
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 3: she's come to see you again.

617
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 4: How does that make you feel?

618
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 7: I think those are the craziest ones. Like now, when

619
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 7: I come back, it'd be like all the students are

620
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 7: were children, you know, and they're like, oh, yeah, you

Speaker 7: And I look in the mirror and I'm like, well,

Speaker 5: Yeah.

632
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 3: One person writes, Matt, I think Willy had the best

633
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,280

698
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 3: Dude, dude, where I'm going. If you're just looking at

699
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 3: the accolades, your jersey should be up there one day

700
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,479
Speaker 3: because there is no one Ryan that's correct. I mean,

701

Speaker 1: You put that just based on what he did here,

705
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: the accolades he received after his junior year, it's a

706
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: no brainer that he gets his jersey retired.

707
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 5: I agree, I long I've been wondering the same thing.

708
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 5: I've been here for three years.

709
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,960

Speaker 4: High school.

Speaker 7: like young adults moving into that college level.

726
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 3: I've always felt like, probably more uniquely than any player

727
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 3: that has played here since I've done it. You have,

728
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 3: and you feel free to correct me. An artistic personality,

729
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 3: A very like you have a huge heart. It's not

730
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 3: your typical basketball player way of looking at the world.

731
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 3: That's hard for me to really describe how you hit

732
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 3: it on the head, am I right talk to me

733
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 3: about that.

734
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 7: I think it just goes like you seen my grandparents.

735
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 7: You guys met him like that was my parents. So

736
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 7: like I was raising that type of you know, small

737
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 7: town environment. They never in probably their whole life, thought

738
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 7: they would come to Kentucky and watch their you know,

739
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 7: son playing move on to the NBA and stuff like that.

740
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 7: So I don't know what that that type of do.

741
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 7: You don't know, like and it was like all it

742
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 7: was like a gift for all of us. I don't know,

743
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 7: you carry that with you so like it's all the gifts.

744
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 7: So like, you know, I got to learn a lot

745
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 7: doing that, and I just feel like there's a lot

746
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 7: of like kids that are like me that I could

747
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 7: like share that too. So that's why I feel like

748
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 7: the high school level would be fun.

749
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 3: I think you said to me once that you tended

750
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 3: to gravitate towards people kind of left out a little bit.

751
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 3: I remember you saying to me in one of the

752
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 3: interviews a long time ago that you kind of looked

753
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 3: for the kid that's off to the side by.

754
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 4: Himself or herself. Is that right?

755
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I feel like I was that person.

756
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 7: Like I was just tall, so I was in the back,

757
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 7: you know what I mean. But like you always wanted

758
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 7: to be in the front. You always wanted to dance

759
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 7: around and stuff, but like never, you know, for some reason,

760
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 7: you never did. And so like I look for that.

761
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 7: I look for those type of people that you really

762
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 7: know that they want to be in the mix, but

763
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 7: like either too embarrassed or you know, don't know themselves

764
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 7: like that or haven't learned themselves like that to like

765
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 7: put themselves in that position. So like sometimes you got

766
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 7: to force them in that role.

767
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 4: You've traveled the world a little bit with basketball. Where

768
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 4: all have you been?

769
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 5: It's taking me far? I don't know.

770
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 7: Like when I played in Italy, Man, we got to

771
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 7: play in like a different country every other day, I passport,

772
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 7: got stamps. What town did you play for in Italy verse, Oh, okay,

773
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 7: forty five minutes from Alan, which Alex was actually playing

774
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 7: there at the time.

775
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 3: Wow, So you were in Milan. Did you get into

776
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 3: fashion and all that stuff when you were there? I didn't.

777
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 3: I wasn't there long enough. Honestly, Uh, it was nice

778
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 3: there though he was probably stuck out a little bit there,

779
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 3: just a little bit. Yeah, maybe maybe just a little bit.

780
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 4: All right.

781
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 7: So it's also riding a motorcycle around, like one of

782
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 7: those little cal vestments, like a motor, like a like

783
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 7: a real micro rocket crowd rocket, yeah.

784
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 5: Four motive.

785
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, well that's uh, I guess zooming.

786
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 3: So when you do you you watch Kentucky, you were

787
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 3: here for the game, sad, What do you think about

788
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 3: this Kentucky team?

789
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 7: I like them, man, I mean we're just we can score.

790
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 7: I feel like even even in the SEC period, Like

791
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 7: I ain't never seen so many like good teams in

792
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 7: the SEC. You like watch them, like looking at their

793
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 7: records as they pop up, and everybody got like twelve wins.

794
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,239
Speaker 4: You know, league's a lot better than when you were

795
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 4: in it. Like I mean, you guys would.

796
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 7: Have like three or four probably like five teams that

797
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 7: were you know, I think at one point, I mean

798
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 7: we had like US Tennessee, Florida, you know what I mean,

799
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 7: we're all into like.

800
00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 5: The Elite eight.

801
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 7: At one point it was like three or four SEC

802
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 7: teams and it was I mean, I thought that was crazy,

803
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 7: but like seeing it this year.

804
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 5: I mean, I like, we're the Power Conference.

805
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 4: Oh no, without for sure, right, without question.

806
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 7: But everybody's scoring almost one hundred points and nobody's playing defense, so.

807
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 4: They don't play defense.

808
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 5: Whoever, whoever decides to play defense is going to win

809
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:17,959
Speaker 5: it for sure.

810
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:19,399
Speaker 4: Well hopefully that's us.

Speaker 4: Right, Before we get out here, I do want to

881
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 4: talk about Cameron and Dave fighting. They scream at each

882
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 4: other on the pregame show.

883
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 3: Ryan, you and Drew were the first ones to point

884
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 3: it out because I hadn't listened to a lot of

885
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 3: them and I turned it on Saturday.

886
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 4: I thought they were going to kill each other.

887
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 6: I like, we all liked Drew, I like.

888
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 1: You, We do like Drew, right, we do like Drew.

889
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: He's sitting right here. Dave and Can. We like them both.

890
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,879
Speaker 1: But man, they fight like little teenage girls. Man, they

891
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: really go at it.

892
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 6: Like do they think he's it real? No, they like

893
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 6: each other. I think it's just the the part of

894
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 6: the show. You have to tune in to listen to it.

895
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 3: People think I'm mean to you, like you should listen

896
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 3: to the two of them. You think I mean to Ryan?

897
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 3: Who listen to how Cameron and Dave talk to each other.

898
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 4: It's a very very contentious preview.

899
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 5: I agree.

900
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 9: We saw him right before the show started the other day.

901
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 9: Everybody's in great spirits and I get in my car

902
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 9: and they're like, are you gonna let me talk? Are

903
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 9: you done talking?

904
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 5: So?

905
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 9: I don't know if it's a bit, but radio. I

906
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 9: enjoy catching it. I hear every one of them.

907
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 4: I think they are I think that's just how they are.

908
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 3: But they are like two old people who have lived

909
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 3: with each other for so long. It's it that they

910
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 3: are going to kill each other.

911
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: The show before this one, they were arguing about what

912
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,359
Speaker 1: you called the pregame shoot around, and I thought they

913
00:38:58,400 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 1: were gonna fight, just arguing over that.

914
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 4: It's good radium. I don't miss it. Yeah, I think people.

915
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 4: I think people either love it or hate it.

916
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 3: There are some people who write me and go, I

917
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 3: cannot listen to these two scream at each other.

918
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 4: I texted you all eight minutes into that show. Are

919
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 4: you listening? They're fighting already.

920
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 6: I look for it.

921
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 3: Let me just say this, because I there's a young

922
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 3: woman who has come to show, who is in a

923
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 3: wheelchair and who was the person that that that Willy

924
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 3: knew when he played here, and he's sitting here talking

925
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 3: to her right now, and I think it's one of

926
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 3: the sweetest things I've ever seen, the way that girl

927
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 3: lit up when she walked in here and or she

928
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 3: was brought in here and saw her like.

929
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 4: That's that's what this is, right, this is what Kentucky

930
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 4: basketball is. That goes to what Mark Pope did on Saturday.

931
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 3: And it goes to the like it's I'm trying to

932
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 3: finish the show because it's so sweet right here in.

933
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 4: Front of us.

934
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,800
Speaker 1: The backstory was Olivia was four years old, went to

935
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 1: daycare and said she was I'm gonna marry Willie cully Stein.

936
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: And so he went on his own and met her

937
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 1: for lon when she was four years old. Now here

938
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: she is fourteen to see him.

939
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 4: I'm watching He's showing videos of his kids to her.

940
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 9: She was mad he had a wife. We heard that part.

941
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 9: She didn't know about that. But he's just showing off

942
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:10,240
Speaker 9: his family.

943
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 3: Just one of the sweetest things I've seen, Shannon, Who's next?

00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 10: was taking candy from a baby.

949
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 3: He really the matchup, I mean, especially defensively offensively.

950
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:41,240
Speaker 6: He struggled.

951
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 3: You said, he started one for nine, but then you

952
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 3: know the the defense Butler played. I appreciate the call, Seth,

953
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 3: especially at the end. I mean, it was clear Hubbard

954
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 3: was taking that last shot and Butler did not give

955
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 3: him an inch.

956
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 9: I joke about Championship Chess because Pope said a bunch

957
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 9: of that video. But he does get that chest out

958
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 9: and will not let anyone get around him when they're

959
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 9: trying to drive to the basket. And Hubbard's so good

960
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 9: at that, and he's got that lateral quickness. He's just

961
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 9: such a great on ball defender that they could not

962
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 9: get anything against him.

963
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 6: It said.

964
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: Lamont had him rattled, and Hubbard's their their main star,

965
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: like he had thirty four to thirty six against his

966
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: last year. Butler had him rattled that game.

967
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 3: I I Butler. You know, Butler is even what I

968
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 3: like about him. Even if he's not shooting well, he

969
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 3: is in the game. He's making passes and he plays

970
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 3: the defense. He is our He's our best defender by far,

971
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 3: and it's great to watch him do it.

972
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 9: And I wanted to ad when we were talking about rebounding.

973
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 9: I didn't get to work this in Otega. Oh way,

974
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 9: I assume Pope told the guards to crash the glass

975
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 9: and help he and Lamont more so. O way, in

976
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 9: the last game, we're a big help inside rebounding two

977
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 9: Oa had like eight or nine rebounds he didn't get

978
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 9: at Yeah, so when they weren't scoring and making shots,

979
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 9: they found other ways to impact.

980
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 4: That is that's a very good point. DraftKings.
