Speaker 4: It is the day before the SEC Tournament, one of

23
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 4: my favorite events of the year begins in Nashville, and

24
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 4: for the very first time, it begins with Kentucky in

25
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 4: the opening game. Kentucky has not played on the opening

26
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 4: day of the SEC Tournament since nineteen seventy nine, but

27
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 4: they will do it tomorrow against South Carolina to start

28
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 4: the whole thing off. Ryan and Drew in Lexington. It

29
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 4: is not something we're used to to playing at one

30
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 4: o'clock on Wednesday, but we are and just got to

31
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 4: hope we definitely get a victory, right.

32
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 5: I gotta admit it's very embarrassing when you look at

33
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 5: the brackets and right there in the top left corner,

34
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 5: the first team you see is Kentucky playing the first

35
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 5: game on Wednesday. To me, that just kind of stings

36
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 5: and hurts a little bit.

37
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 4: Well, but it's here and so now they need to win.

38
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 4: Mark Pope said yesterday that they are going down there

39
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 4: to win five and five. That was his phrase. Can

40
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 4: they drew any confidence you could win five and five? No?

41
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 6: But I will say and I think it stinks as

42
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 6: much as anyone. I'm sad once I get in the

43
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 6: state of Tennessee, I'm leaving all this negativity back. I'm

44
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 6: excited for the team. Okay, well, no, I'm still gonna

45
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 6: complain today, and I complained a lot Sunday. It is

46
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 6: outrageous that we're the first game. That is embarrassing. I

47
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 6: even wrote that it's gross. But I'm not gonna take

48
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 6: that energy into Bridgetone Arena. But at the same time,

49
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 6: I just don't see a world where they win five

50
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 6: Street or even four Street.

51
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I look, it'll be very, very difficult

52
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 4: to do that, if not impossible, But I also I

53
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 4: do think, you know, I think Kentucky can easily win

54
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 4: to get to the game on Friday, play Florida. You've

55
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 4: got a third chance at it if you win, and

56
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 4: you know, the for their NCAA bracket, Joe Lonardi said yesterday,

57
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 4: if they were to win two and lose to Florida,

58
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 4: they might even go back up to a six seed.

59
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 4: So that's good. What you can't do is take a

60
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 4: loss to LSU, because if you do, you might end

61
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 4: up in that eight to nine game and stare in

62
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 4: a one seed. In the face in the second round

63
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 4: if you were to get there. So in the LSU

64
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 4: game and even the Missouri game, I mean, I think

65
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 4: there's some pressure on Kentucky to win a couple games.

66
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 4: I got excited though, this morning because Daniel Hager, who

67
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 4: works for ON three, used to do stuff for KSR.

68
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 4: He put together a thirty minute package of the most

69
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 4: exciting Kentucky highlights of the SEC tournament in history. And

70
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 4: I watched about half of them this morning, and I'm

71
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 4: gonna watch the other half this afternoon. I highly recommend it. Now,

72
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 4: you could get nostalgic and go Man, we haven't had

73
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 4: some of that because I will tell you there aren't

74
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 4: many Ryans since twenty twenty, that surprising. Most of them

75
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:07,119
Speaker 4: are before twenty twenty. But man, I'm just sitting there

76
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 4: watching and he starts it with the maybe the most famous,

77
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 4: which is the Wall and Cousins one. But there are

78
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 4: things I'd forgotten, like Winyon going seven for seven from

79
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 4: three against Alabama. Yeah right, how about this? How about

80
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 4: Steve Macielo hitting back to back threes against Arkansas to

81
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 4: finish a game.

82
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 5: Don't remember that one?

83
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 4: How about Patrick Sparks throwing a pass between his legs

84
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 4: against Tennessee a bounce pass. Do you remember that one?

85
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 5: Don't remember that one either?

86
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 4: How about Corey Sears on a fast break going behind

87
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 4: the back to Gerald Fitch for a dunk.

88
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 5: Come on, that had to be Ai, Cory Sears behind

89
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 5: the back, Cory.

90
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 4: Sears behind the back. It's the only living proof that

91
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 4: Corey Sears played at Kentucky. I think it's that clip,

92
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 4: So there were it's a it's very exciting. I uh,

93
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 4: it's It's on Daniel Hager's Twitter. But I'm hoping Ryan

94
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 4: that we get one or two of those memories this

95
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 4: weekend because we really haven't had any memory in the

96
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 4: SEC tournament since twenty twenty.

97
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 5: And we all know remember what happened when Col's last

98
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 5: game against Texas A and M. And he's walking off

99
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 5: the floor and that's fan is Lena with a roil

100
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 5: screaming at him. Is this the gold standard?

101
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 7: Cow?

102
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 5: Is this the gold standard? Because it used to be

103
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 5: that was our tournament.

104
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 4: We owned it.

105
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 5: We went down there, we took over the town, and

106
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 5: we cut down the nets when it was over. That

107
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 5: was what Kentucky basketball was all about. And I missed

108
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 5: those days.

109
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 6: We've lost six out of eight games in the Sea.

110
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 6: So I was gonna say, so what if we wanted

111
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 6: last crazy? Last year we beat Oklahoma? Yes, and then.

112
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 3: That was the last second shot to do that though,

113
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 3: huh yeah.

114
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 4: That was exciting. And then we turned around and lost

115
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 4: by thirty. Ok everybody, let okay, I'm serious. Now I'm

116
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 4: decreeing we can have these conversations. But the gloom and

117
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 4: doom Ryan like the gloom and doom. It is what

118
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 4: it is at this point, right, I mean, we can't

119
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 4: like I am just as frustrated about all this as

120
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 4: anybody else. But this is the most exciting month of

121
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 4: the year. Do we not have any positive energy in this.

122
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,239
Speaker 6: I'm already packed and excited. I thought we were listing

123
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 6: how bad the last few years.

124
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,679
Speaker 4: That's not what I was talking about. I talked about

125
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 4: how exciting these highlights.

126
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 6: Were, didn't I thought, we just so we've won last year,

127
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 6: we've been Oklahoma, but then we lost by thirty.

128
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 4: I didn't say it, I mean that happened.

129
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 6: I'm trying to paint the excitement because it's been so

130
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 6: bad lately, So my bad. So the we did lose

131
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 6: by thirty, that happened.

132
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 4: I know, but you can't say it and then go

133
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 4: I thought somebody said it. You're the one that said it.

134
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 4: Oh wait, had the shot last year. I'm trying to think,

135
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 4: what's the other game we've won since COVID. We won

136
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 4: the first one in Tampa, and then before we lost

137
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 4: to Tennessee and then he went home to see his dogs.

138
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 4: That's right, Do we want that? I don't. That was Vandy.

139
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 4: I think we beat you. You Shannon, yeah, because you

140
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 4: o were like up twenty in that game, and then.

141
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 5: We came to back the game.

142
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 4: I guess Scottie Kippen had a crazy good game and

143
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 4: we came back and won. So I'd like to see us.

144
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 4: Can we match our last six years win total with

145
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 4: two wins?

146
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 6: I think we get two. I think we just run

147
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 6: into a bus saw on Friday. That's just I don't

148
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 6: care if you think Kentucky has turned a corner and

149
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 6: they're a great team to win three straight with Florida

150
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 6: being the third just waiting for you. I think it

151
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,559
Speaker 6: is a tough challenge, but I feel good about getting

152
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 6: two on Wednesday and Thursday. LSU, of course, had a

153
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 6: big lead on US earlier this year. I think that

154
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 6: would be the disaster if you found a way to

155
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 6: lose that game. Shannon, how do we feel? Excuse me, Ryan,

156
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 6: how do we feel about LSU?

157
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 5: I'm a little scared, just because we all watched that game.

158
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 5: They jumped out on us nineteen point. We had to

159
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 5: have a miracle shot by Malachi.

160
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 3: To win that game.

161
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 5: But I'm here's my positive. We get down there, you

162
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 5: get to the buzz, the big Blue Nation rolls in,

163
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 5: You get a little buzz, and then you get a

164
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 5: little excitement. Then you win one game, do our big

165
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 5: show on Thursday morning, more excitement, win that second game,

166
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 5: then you get a party Thursday night, going to Friday.

167
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 5: Everybody's excited and feeling a little optimist because you're riding

168
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 5: that big blue wave high. That's my optimistic for it.

169
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 4: So I wonder how many people are going tomorrow. That's

170
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 4: because most people usually make the decision to make the

171
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 4: trip sometime during the day Wednesday or early Thursday. How

172
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 4: many people do we think will be going to that

173
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 4: game tomorrow? Like, well, I mean LSU will have no

174
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 4: fans there, so will we Will it be a crowd

175
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 4: there tomorrow?

176
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 2: Do you all think I think it's gonna set the

177
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 2: record for the most attended first game of the SEC

178
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 2: tournament in history.

179
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 4: Well that one year they remember, they opened it up

180
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 4: free and it was packed. It was packed. That was

181
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 4: the one year in Nashville they just had it be

182
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 4: free and it was packed. It was like people just like, oh,

183
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 4: we can go somewhere, let's just walk in there.

184
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 3: That was the night game though it was a night game.

185
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 2: I think for the first game for an eleven thirty

186
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 2: Central time start, usually there's you know, only the vendors

187
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 2: and the guys sweeping the floors in there.

188
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean last year was the first time they

189
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 4: did that. I don't even think we went last year.

190
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 6: So this will be, this will be I mean, we're

191
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 6: not even gonna be down there yet.

192
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 4: So Drew, what do you think we're gonna have? Fan wise?

193
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 6: I think the oddly the upper level general mission will

194
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 6: be pretty full because it's ten dollars, right, But then

195
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 6: the people that bought the lowers won't maybe not be there.

196
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 4: Ye's interesting for me.

197
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 6: I usually know a billion people going to this. I've

198
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 6: been getting mostly knows, and the handful of people I

199
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 6: know that are going aren't going for the game. They're

200
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,719
Speaker 6: going Wednesday night and hoping we're in at Thursday. Now

201
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 6: that's just my circle. I mean, you know, I don't

202
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 6: I can't speak for the fan base, but I'm expecting

203
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 6: record low turnouts, at least of what I'm used to seeing.

204
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know what it's going to be like Wednesday.

205
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 4: I do think if they get to Thursday, cause it's

206
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 4: looked all year like we might play on Thursday, I

207
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 4: do think you'll get a lot of Kentucky fans there Thursday.

208
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 4: You know, our show will be at Tenroof on Thursday,

209
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 4: and so I hope everybody plans to come. Here's the

210
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 4: show schedule tomorrow and Thursday. Because the game is at

211
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 4: twelve thirty, our show ends at eleven. So what we're

212
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 4: going to do is we're going to combine KSR and

213
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 4: the pre show into one show from nine to eleven.

214
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 4: So KSR tomorrow will actually start at nine am, go

215
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 4: nine to eleven, and then it will go into the

216
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 4: official show at noon. And that's what we'll also do

217
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 4: at Tenroof on Thursday, So we'll actually be going very

218
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 4: early on Thursday morning. So I look, I hope we

219
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 4: have a lot of people there for me, this is

220
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 4: how I'm approaching SEC tournament, and for that matter, of

221
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 4: the NCAA tournament. We have had plenty of time this

222
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 4: year to be bummed, plenty of time. I've been as

223
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 4: bummed as anybody. But you got three weeks, really this week,

224
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 4: in the first couple weeks in the NCAA tournament, where

225
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 4: you could turn your entire season around. You could even

226
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 4: make an argument you turn the entire narrative of Mark

227
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 4: popea rint Ryan. I'm gonna spend the next three weeks

228
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 4: rooting for that because to some extent, what other choice

229
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 4: do we have. We don't really have any other choice,

230
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 4: So why not try to enjoy it and hope it

231
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 4: works out?

232
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 5: And we've seen it happen before. You keep you know,

233
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 5: we talk about the twenty fourteen team, even the twenty

234
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 5: eleven team kind of struggled through the SEC season and

235
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 5: then caught fire in March. I mean it still happened.

236
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 4: The twenty eleven team went and I did they win

237
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 4: the SEC tournament? I think they did.

238
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 5: I think they did.

239
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 4: Yeah. And the twenty fourteen team went and got to

240
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 4: the finals and lost when James Young slipped against Florida.

241
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 4: Remember that right, But that one Florida team, we didn't

242
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,719
Speaker 4: think we'd have any chance of beating no and they

243
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 4: played him right down to the final play and lost.

244
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 4: That was in Atlanta, I believe. So you know, I

245
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 4: don't know that that's gonna happen, but it might. And

246
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 4: so kind of that, Drew is how I'm I'm how

247
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 4: my mindset is going.

248
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 6: Yep, And again I feel pretty confident about Wednesday and Thursday,

249
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 6: and you know we want more, but that can still

250
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 6: be fun. One of those games. We just need to

251
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 6: flip the switch on Nashville. That city has been cursed.

252
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 6: So if we can get a couple and you get

253
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 6: to that Florida game, we'll at least have the excitement

254
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 6: of playing the SEC champ and taking that shot, and

255
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 6: then we'll see what happens. But one game at a

256
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 6: time and hopefully it goes well.

257
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 4: I do wonder if Shannon, you know, we were there

258
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 4: when COVID like kind of officially broke right. I still

259
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 4: remember we were sitting in that suite watching, you know,

260
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 4: two random teams play.

261
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 3: And then you go, did you see this Tom Hanks

262
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 3: as Tom Hanks?

263
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 4: I remember Tom Hanks says COVID within like thirty minutes.

264
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 4: Tom Hanks has COVID they canceled that Oklahoma City game

265
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 4: because of Rudy Gobert. Yes, right, and then uh Trump

266
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 4: closed the airspace around the country like you couldn't fly

267
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 4: in and out.

268
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 3: It felt like that night the world was ending.

269
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 4: It did in like thirty minutes. It felt like the

270
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 4: entire world was ending. And then since then, Drew's right,

271
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 4: we've been awful in Nashville every time we've gone there

272
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 4: for anything. It is time to break the Nashville curse.

273
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 3: Randy used to have the stage.

274
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 4: We got some stage.

275
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 3: We can get out and burn it.

276
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 4: Do you want to bring the sage?

277
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 5: I'll bring it if we're gonna burn it and burn

278
00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 5: this the sage you got wet though, that's in Seattle. Yeah,

279
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 5: that flower pot?

280
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 3: Flower pot?

281
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 4: All right, so we will burn the sage. Well, we'll

282
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 4: start in Bowling Green tomorrow and then burn it the

283
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 4: rest of it in Nashville. Is that a deal? Perfect?

284
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 3: You should just roll the window down and just go

285
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 3: down the highway.

286
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 2: Go down the sage out the window.

287
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 4: Eight twenty two eighty seven, were opening the phones. You all, well,

291
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 4: and it's also a chance to sort of salvage the

292

Speaker 4: narrative and what is happening with the phones? Shade.

293

00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 4: start talking and let's see if it hangs up on

315
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 4: you go ahead, Yeah, there it goes hung up on.

316
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 4: How do we have these problems?

317
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 3: That's a good question.

318
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 4: This our tech is like Kentucky's SEC tournament performance.

319
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,359
Speaker 3: It really is. It's unpredictable.

320
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 4: All right, Well, we have three people who it has

321
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 4: it hung up on, so we'll do Then I'm going

322
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 4: to answer the Yeah, don't answer them because they're just

323
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 4: gonna end up. It comes Gus, all right, hopefully Gus

324
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 4: get we'll fix it. One person rights, Matt. We are

325
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 4: going because we pay so much for the SEC tournament,

326
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 4: but I've never been excited about it less. I'm hoping

327
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 4: I get down there and feel the energy. I mean

328
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 4: you will. There is a sense in which there is

329
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 4: energy that happens as soon as you get down there,

330
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 4: and I do think that'll be good. One person rights, Matt.

331
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 4: We've gone thirteen straight years. It's not even so much

332
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 4: the way we play. It's just now Nashville is so expensive, Drew.

333
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 4: That is an issue. Although I will tell you I

334
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 4: looked at price when my group decided to go. I

335
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 4: think it's actually much cheaper for this than it's been

336
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 4: the last four or five years. Because I think they

337
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 4: just overbuilt everything. Do you agree.

338
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, they've added certainly going back to when it first

339
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 6: got to Nashville, there's so many more hotels. Also think

340
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 6: you know, there's teams are better, but like with Kentucky fans,

341
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 6: we kind of knew every Friday one o'clock, that's our game.

342
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 6: I think might might not be as booking things as

343
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 6: early as it has in the past, because, especially this year,

344
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 6: a lot of teams didn't have a clue where they'd

345
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 6: be until the last moment, so some stuff was still

346
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,199
Speaker 6: open and maybe people decided not to even go.

347
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 4: This probably will ryan be the return of a bajillion

348
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 4: Arkansas fans going, you know, like they used to do

349
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 4: that for years and then they kind of stopped. And

350
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,959
Speaker 4: they're good, and they've been good all year, whereas that

351
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 4: last time they kind of weren't. I think you're going

352
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 4: to see a ton of Hogs people down there.

353
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 5: You know, I hadn't thought about that, But that's a

354
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 5: good call because they're there. I've always felt like they

355
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 5: were the second best SEC fan base to travel to

356
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 5: the without question, and so now that they're kind of

357
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 5: rolling again, Cal's got them going. I bet you're right,

358
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 5: I that there will be a big crowd of Arkansas fans.

359
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 4: All right, Well, hopefully this starts working. Uh we have

360
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 4: Gus Allen online too, that hangs up on him and

361
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 4: then we think it with Gus Yeah, eight five nine

362
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 4: two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. I want to

363
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 4: note something from yesterday. Did any anyone but me watch

364
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 4: the Oklahoma the under versus Nuggets caught the sports in

365
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 4: our highlights be in sit Love. I watched it live. Shay,

366
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 4: Alexander and Jokics was an amazing battle, Like if you

367
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 4: like basketball, both of them. Obviously Shae played for US,

368
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 4: but Jokicic and Shae are so much fun to watch,

369
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 4: and they just went back and forth and back and forth.

370
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 4: Shaye hit two threes down the stretch to win, which

371
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 4: were crazy shots. But in the process, Shae Gilgess Alexander

372
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 4: broke the all time NBA record for most twenty point

373
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 4: games in a row. It was held by Wilt Chamberlain

374
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:41,719
Speaker 4: Golle and Shae has scored one hundred and twenty six

375
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 4: in a row. Twenty point games, one hundred and twenty

376
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 4: six in a row.

377
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 5: It blows my mind to hear that that's crazy.

378
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 4: That's crazy, and he's our guy, and he didn't start

379
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 4: when he first got here because of Qua Da Green.

380
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 5: He kind of became a star at the SEC tournament.

381
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 5: Did he win the SEC Tournament MVP?

382
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 4: I think he did. He started started, he started being

383
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 4: good in SEC play, and then he was the SEC

384
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 4: Tournament MVP. But Drew, is he gonna finish his career

385
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 4: the best Kentucky NBA player of all time?

386
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 6: Yes, because I think in a few months he's gonna

387
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 6: have his second MVP trophy in his second NBA ring

388
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 6: and he's still young, which is outrageous, and we know

389
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 6: that team he's probably not done. So yeah, I mean

390
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 6: we think of Anthony Davis, unfortunately injuries got him. I

391
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 6: think Shay's on a fast track to be that guy.

392
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 4: I mean, if you're ranking the best NBA players at

393
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:48,239
Speaker 4: Kentucky today, Isle is one, Ad is two. But I

394
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 4: think even today right Shae is three, and I think

395
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 4: in two years he's gonna be one.

396
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 5: I'm trying to think of guys nobody's ever obviously won

397
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 5: an MVP, but it's an all star guys AND's got

398
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 5: a ring.

399
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 4: But on the level of Davis Orye.

400
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 5: I agree, Max Burning and Rex are probably in the

401
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 5: top team.

402
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 4: Had a good run. Yeah, but I think she's the MVP.

403
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 5: That's sh Shay is.

404
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 4: If Shay stopped his career today, I think he's probably

405
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 4: number three and he's gonna be number one, And and

406
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 4: the Kentucky fans when he was here would just have

407
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 4: never fathomed that could be true.

408
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 5: Col just kind of took him as a late addition,

409
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 5: just as the backup point guard, like not really was enough,

410
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 5: no fanfare about the guy or anything.

411
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 4: He wasn't even a McDonald's All American in that time

412
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 4: that everyone we had was. He was not.

413
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 6: And he's gonna end up being the best player to

414
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 6: ever play here in the NBA.

415
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 4: Jason, go ahead, Jason.

416
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 9: Good morning, guys. Thanks for taking Good morning, Jason Wade.

417
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 9: I hope you're doing well. I am wondering what you

418
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 9: guys think about roster construction last year this year. It

419
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 9: seems like last year all of the guys were kind

420
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 9: of the man where they came from. You know, Amari

421
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 9: was three times Conference Defensive Player of the Year, first

422
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 9: team All Conference, Butler was a Final Four hero, Jackson

423
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 9: Robinson was an NBA prospect, and it kind of feels

424
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 9: like all the guys we took this year were the sixth,

425
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 9: seventh or eight men on their team. You know, no

426
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 9: offense to Zel, he played great, No offense to Mo,

427
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 9: he's played great the last month. But other SEC schools

428
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 9: kind of just let those guys go. So I'm not

429
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 9: sure that then.

430
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 4: Let him go. They wanted to keep them, they wanted

431
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 4: to keep them. But I do think you're you're right.

432
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 4: I think the biggest the way I would articulate it

433
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 4: is in the first year, Pope tried to find a

434
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,199
Speaker 4: bunch of guys who could score and play what he

435
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 4: thought his system was, and then in the second year

436
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 4: he tried to adjust it to the realities of defense

437
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 4: in the SEC, and it didn't work. I mean, it

438
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 4: didn't work. It turns out that when you get a

439
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 4: bunch of guys who, in theory are there for defense

440
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 4: and hustle or whatever, you still gotta have dudes to

441
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 4: put it in the basket. And and I appreciate the call.

442
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 4: I think that was the thing to me, Drew is

443
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 4: he adjusted because of how bad Alabama beat us last

444
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 4: year in every game, and in adjusting for Alabama, we

445
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 4: ended up making ourselves susceptible to be beaten by everybody.

446
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, he overcorrected a little too much with the defense,

447
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 6: especially Diabonte, who I love, but at the four, with

448
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 6: the way Pope plays.

449
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 4: They need a shoot her there.

450
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 6: And even though Diabonte nailed that three against Florida, we

451
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 6: know he's it's not exactly his strength.

452
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 4: That was amazing, like it was. It was like it

453
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 4: almost died in the basket. But yeah, go ahead.

454
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 6: I almost died when he was shooting it then it

455
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 6: went in. That was one of those no, no, no yeses.

456
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 6: But I also think he put way too much faith

457
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 6: in some guys to make a jump, and then they

458
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 6: didn't make a jump.

459
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 4: And it'll be interesting to see, now what way does

460
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 4: he go this time, cause it'll be you know which

461
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 4: way you're gonna go. We hope the phone lines will work.

462
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 4: It's hard to know, Shannon, probably not. We'll take a break.

00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 4: All right, let's do a couple things here. First of all,

470
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 4: is Mark Pope having a press conference right now at

471
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 4: this moment, okay, because there's some quotes coming out and

472
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 4: we should talk about. First of all, we I mentioned

473
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 4: last week they had posted a job opening on the

474
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 4: website for UK Athletics that made it look like it

475
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 4: might be a GM, but then the more you looked

476
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 4: at it, it looked like it probably wasn't a GM.

477
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 4: So at his press conference, Shannon, I want you to

478
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 4: do Mark Pope speak here. Okay, yeah, I'm going to

479
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 4: read you. He was asked about the job opening, and

480
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 4: here's what he said. We need somebody that can model

481
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 4: for us twenty four to seven, that can do salary

482
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 4: cap models, that can do wind share models, that can

483
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 4: do comparison research. In terms of us trying to have

484
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 4: some just get as deep in the details of managing

485
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,959
Speaker 4: the roster construction as we can. It's important to have

486
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 4: somebody that literally, twenty four hours a day, seven days

487
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 4: a week, is going to be just you know, war

488
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 4: gaming and modeling over and over and over again.

489
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 3: So we need a GM or a model. I'm not

490
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 3: sure which one we need.

491
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 6: I don't think that sounds like a GM. That sounds

492
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 6: like a computer nerd. Right, somebody's going to run the

493
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 6: numbers and do that somebody that can model. He uses

494
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 6: the word model four times.

495
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, so this goes with I had a conversation yesterday

496
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 4: with someone that has talked to him about the job

497
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 4: over the lad last a little while, and they said

498
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 4: to me that at the time they kind of thought

499
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 4: Pope really wasn't looking for a GM. He was looking

500
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 4: for basically someone to do exactly what he's saying right here,

501
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 4: run models. Basically looking for an analytics person, not a GM.

502
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 3: I thought he was the analytics person.

503
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 4: Well, no, he's got people to do it, but I

504
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 4: think he needs a GM to essentially a lot pick

505
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:39,479
Speaker 4: the players, not to run models. But it sounds like

506
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 4: to me, if you just read that quote, he's not

507
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 4: looking for a GM, He's looking for a science person

508
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 4: drew to give him data and then he's gonna do it. Yeah.

509
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 6: The word is he's already had some conversations looking for

510
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 6: a GM, and those guys either whichever side, it didn't

511
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 6: work out. But if that's what you're bringing to the

512
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 6: job interview, I could see why people would be like, what,

513
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 6: what in the world what am I doing? I'm a GM,

514
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 6: I'm here to find players and pay him not look

515
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 6: at spreadsheets twenty four to seven?

516
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 4: Do you think he just doesn't want to call it

517
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 4: a GM? Is there like a stubborn streak of I'm

518
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 4: not gonna call it that?

519
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 5: But why would he have it? I mean, that's the

520
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 5: trend that is modern basketball. I think he would embrace it.

521
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 4: Salary cap models, wind share models, comparison research. I mean

522
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 4: that that's the doorkiest sounding.

523
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 2: Is that gonna make you win basketball games?

524
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 3: I mean, how about we get some players?

525
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 4: Well? I mean, okay, I'm not like, I don't I

526
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 4: don't know. Why can't he just.

527
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 6: Call it a GM? Does he just not want to

528
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 6: call it a GM? I guess this is me just guessing.

529
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 6: He seems might be a guy likes to have a

530
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 6: little control. We know some people like that, and maybe

531
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 6: just doesn't want the optics If I am handing off

532
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 6: part of this job that I've wanted forever to someone else,

533
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 6: when the people before me never handed it off. Now

534
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 6: times are different and it's okay to hand it off.

535
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 6: But I think maybe in his brain he might not

536
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 6: see it that way, And then I'll also worry. I

537
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 6: brought this up before Patino fired his GM, like two

538
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 6: months ago. Yeah, and we all know how he leans

539
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 6: on Patino.

540
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 4: But if you believe what people have said the agents

541
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 4: and stuff, part of Pope's weakness is like dealing with

542
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 4: the agents and all of that. Do you think this

543
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 4: person who's good at models is going to be good

544
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 4: at that.

545
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 5: That the GM hat. Yeah, and maybe it is some analytics,

546
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 5: but it's also dealing with.

547
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 4: It's also people. It's also dealing with people. Now, Duke

548
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 4: announces this morning, Caleb Foster, their point guard is out

549
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 4: with a broken foot. That's huge for them, and Duke

550
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 4: Duke was gonna be my pick to win a national championship.

551
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 4: And now I don't think you can pick that if

552
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 4: they've lost their point guard. I think you have to say,

553
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 4: you know, they they're still good, but I think now

554
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 4: without I mean he was there, what second or third

555
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 4: best player there, I don't think you can pick them

556
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 4: to win the title now, Drew right.

557
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 6: No, No, with that, I mean as good as Boozer is,

558
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 6: I think that's a too big of a hit. With

559
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 6: as good as Michigan, Arizona, Florida, other contenders up there

560
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 6: with them.

561
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 4: They're still gonna be really good. And I think they're

562
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 4: still probably one of the best five teams, but I

563
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 4: don't think you can pick them to win a title

564
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,439
Speaker 4: without him. So that's a big deal. That's now a

565
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 4: couple teams that had a chance to win the title

566
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 4: that have lost their guy J T. Toppin for Texas Tech.

567
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 4: I don't think Carolina was gonna win the title, but

568
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 4: Caleb Wilson was. You know, they were. He was good.

569
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 4: And now this guy, basically three of the top fifteen

570
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 4: teams has now lost a player that I think is huge.

571
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 5: His little boozer now become their point.

572
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 4: Guard probably, but he's a he's a drop off. Yeah,

573
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 4: you're basically gonna have see Cam Boozer just go crazy

574
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 4: the whole tournament, which he can't know. He's really really good.

575
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 4: All right, So we still only have three lines at work.

576
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 4: We'll try those. Taylor, go ahead, Taylor.

577
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, Matt. So two things a comment. It may be

578
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 8: the most expensive resale value of a first session in

579
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 8: the SEC tournament.

580
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 4: What is the US What does the resale market look like?

581
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 8: The cheapest tickets I saw in game time were fifty

582
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 8: nine dollars per section three oh one.

583
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 4: Okay, well, maybe there'll be more people there than we realize,

584
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 4: or it might be a lot of people who bought them,

585
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 4: assuming Kentucky fans will buy them up and they won't.

586
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 4: We'll have to wait and see. But that's a good

587
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 4: sign in terms of people being there.

588
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 8: Certainly question uh in Mark Pope last night makes some

589
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 8: comments about Cam practicing again. What are your thoughts? Do

590
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 8: you think that there's a chance he's available on Wednesday?

591
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 8: I'll hang up and listen.

592
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, so Cam Williams is practicing with the team. I again,

593
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 4: this was on his radio show. I kind of heard

594
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 4: it drew as if he might play this week. Did

595
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 4: you it sounded optimistic?

596
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 6: I mean I I'd be very impressed how that could

597
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 6: happen because he didn't even start running. Really, it sounds

598
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 6: so just recently. But if he could get in and

599
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 6: just give you a few minutes to spell someone. No,

600
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 6: I don't expect him to come in and you know,

601
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 6: win MVP or anything crazy, but I mean, if he

602
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 6: could just give some minutes, he'd be a huge impact.

603
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 4: Huge impact because if somebody shuts down Chandler, now you

604
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 4: can stick him in there and have him get minutes.

605
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 4: So if he's gonna play, I do Ryan feel better?

606
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 4: I don't think it fundamentally changes the team's flaws, but

607
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 4: I do think it makes them. See I do think

608
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 4: it makes them better.

609
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 5: It does kind of sound like that they want to

610
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 5: maybe playing just just baby step, just playing a little

611
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 5: bit early on, and maybe that way when they get

612
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 5: to the NCAA tournament next week, he might be able

613
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 5: to put in more time. But not just as a shooter,

614
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 5: but just as a defender too, on the wing and

615
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 5: the perimeter. He ended up he was on our best

616
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 5: defenders when before he got hurt.

617
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 4: Can I bring up on practice concern?

618
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 6: Yes, I don't want to be negative, but this actually

619
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 6: bothered me yesterday and I think Pope answered for it.

620
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 6: Today the schedule comes out, we get for media. It's

621
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 6: like this big pamphlet and Kentucky is the only team

622
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 6: not practicing in bridgetone. It has the practice schedule.

623
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's important. So if you play on

624
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 4: the first day the sec let, you do practice in

625
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 4: the arena. And seven of the eight teams said they

626
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 4: were going to do it, but one said no, and

627
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 4: that was Kentucky. We are not practicing in the arena,

628
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 4: So that bothered you. Why did it bother you?

629
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 6: Because last time we were there, we went down nineteen

630
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 6: to two. So I just figured of all the teams

631
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 6: that should prep. Maybe it's not a big deal, but

632
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 6: I was just when that schedule came out and had

633
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 6: every team, I was a little surprised.

634
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 4: So what did he say today?

635
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 6: Tyler just texted me because it's all going on. It says,

636
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 6: we want to reproduce the schedule of the day as

637
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 6: best we could, so we couldn't do that with our

638
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 6: slotted time there. It also recreates our normal travel schedule,

639
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 6: so we're trying to have our day before the game

640
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 6: is close to proximity analytics, but I would prefer I'm

641
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 6: not an ex Maybe they win about fifty.

642
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 4: I would hope they'd get shots up in bridge Stone

643
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 4: number one.

644
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 2: Playing your schedule the same go to bed at the

645
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 2: same time every night, look up the same time every morning.

646
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 3: That's what the analytics say.

647
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, this the schedule has worked out so well for

648
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 5: him this year already.

649
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, and we're being positive. I'm not trying to be negative.

650
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 6: But when that schedule, but when I saw that you

651
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 6: are it had seven of eight teams and I was like,

652
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 6: is this a typo?

653
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 4: Like where's the Kentucky. Kentucky did refuse to do it.

654
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 4: We're the only team that that was his reason. I'm

655
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 4: just that's that's got my intendac, Kevin, go ahead, Kevin.

656
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 7: Speaking of the of the GM, Uh, there was a

657
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 7: rumor it's a TikTok guy. But he's a He is

658
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 7: a His whole channel was Kentucky.

659
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 4: It's not that one guy though, that's always just stirring stuff.

660
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 7: Right, he is annoying.

661
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 4: I don't know is he that is he that I'm

662
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 4: talking about? Is he the African American kid that just

663
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 4: stares in the camera and says we stink?

664
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 9: No, okay, all right, that that.

665
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 4: Guy don't live listen to that guy, but somebody else

666
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 4: go ahead.

667
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 7: So he can.

668
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 4: He said.

669
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 7: There was a rumor that UK is looking at a GM.

670
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 7: The guy was the guy was on a previous coaching

671
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 7: staff at Kentucky. He's in the NBA now he's in

672
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 7: the like in the you know, like he's used to

673
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 7: be a scalp.

674
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know who they're talking about. I know who

675
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 4: they're talking about. And uh, I don't think that that

676
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 4: as of today, that's not who they're looking at.

677
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,239
Speaker 7: Okay, all right, and then what do you guys think about, uh,

678
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 7: the rumors that Tyrant Stokes is heated up again with

679
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 7: the UK, and then.

680
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 4: I'll well, I mean that that I don't know. I

681
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 4: mean that it sounds like I mean, he did an

682
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 4: interview where he said, I like Kansas better, but I'll

683
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 4: go to Kentucky if if it doesn't work out. As

684
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 4: I've said, I'm okay being the rebound.

685
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 5: You know, if the number one prospect, number one prospect

686
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 5: once you you take him, You take it, and then

687
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 5: you you work out the relationship later.

688
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 3: Shanton like, yeah, I mean, and he needs to prove

689
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 3: that he can get one of these guys right he

690
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 3: needs a big home run recruit, really needs anybody right now.

691
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 3: But I mean, if you can get the number one guy,

692
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 3: you get them, you.

693
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 4: Take the chances are everyone listening your wife would have

694
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 4: rather gone out with Brad Pitt, but they got you.

695
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 3: Which is Ryan's look alike.

696
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 5: I hear that all the time.

697
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,439
Speaker 4: So you know, if she could have had Brad Pitt,

698
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 4: she would have done that, but she ended up with you.

699
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 4: That doesn't mean you don't have a great life. I

700
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,720
Speaker 4: did have say someone say to me that they didn't

701
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:40,399
Speaker 4: think drew my relationship analogies to basketball or very good try,

702
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:44,320
Speaker 4: though sometimes they're stretched a little bit. I think it's.

703
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 3: Pretty good to think that you were a second or

704
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 3: third choice.

705
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 4: To Brad Pitt. I guess, I guess in this analogy,

706
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 4: Kansas is Brad Pitt.

707
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, who are we? Steve Corroll?

708
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 4: We're all saving for something? But what if you save

00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:42,120

00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:46,879
Speaker 4: hear from more from Pope. Who's talking? It's KSR broking back,

723

Speaker 4: take you towards Radio AF. I'm nine two eight oh

724
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 4: twenty two eighty seven text machine seven seven two seven

725
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 4: seven four five two five four. I forgot she Remember

726
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 4: we had the random text on the text machine. Say

727
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 4: Bill Seff was going to retire. Do you remember that.

728
00:35:58,440 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 3: I do remember that.

729
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're going to see if they're right. It would

730
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 4: be as first reported on the KSR text machine. But

731
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 4: that let me just say this about the KSR text machine.

732
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 4: It gets every story. Okay, it had the Mitch retirement story.

733
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 4: I found out Mitch was retiring from the text machine

734
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 4: and I put the post up on ks board. Ryan.

735
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 4: It was everything comes first from the text machine. You

736
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 4: all collectively have more scoop than any person individually. Now

737
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 4: you have to filter through the fact that sometimes people

738
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 4: say things that are not correct. But I've kind of

739
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 4: learned how to figure it out if you're right or not,

740
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 4: and the text machine gets all The text machine is

741
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 4: the one Remember that broke it to me that the

742
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:52,919
Speaker 4: padres manager. You remember when I brought the story came

743
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 4: from the text machine.

744
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 5: What a bizarre incident that was.

745
00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 4: So maybe if Bill self retired drew another text machine

746
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 4: machine success.

747
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 6: Which could indirectly uh, you know, get Stokes here, and

748
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 6: it could have all started with the text at Paul Miller.

749
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 6: Uh Bill self was asked about his retirement this weekend.

750
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 6: He said, as long as he feels okay, he'll keep

751
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 6: doing it. But it was he who knows how it feels.

752
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 4: Do we know?

753
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 2: I think he feels bad. He's been really grumpy lately.

754
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:23,919
Speaker 2: He got thrown out of a game last week.

755
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:28,919
Speaker 4: Yes. Probably now by the way, yesterday, Uh, Ryan brought

756
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,879
Speaker 4: up Boon's Butcher Shop. Turns out they do still run

757
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:32,600

00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:33,800
Speaker 5: How about that.

Speaker 4: Run it in the Louisville market, but they do run it.

760
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,240

Speaker 3: Who cares about her house?

772
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 5: I think little swift effect.

773
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 4: I think people like her and they want to know

774
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:17,439
Speaker 4: what she does to her.

775
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 3: I like you too, But if you renovate your house,

00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 4: Well, I am going to be renovating my house.

778
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 3: You can't renovate a house that you rent.

779
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:29,040
