On the team, I think you 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.520 want your senner to be married. He's the stability of 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:57.080 the team. Right.

Am 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:13.960 I right? 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:17.720 Didn't mind it Young got married before this senior year exactly. Yeah, 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:18.160 I saw it. 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:20.520 I tell you, I saw him in the New York airport, 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:22.440 did you, Yes, he was. I saw him in the 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:25.080 New York Airport when we talked about he's on the 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:28.160 Jets camp. He was talking to me about I was 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:30.239 helping him find a place to live. Yeah, I was 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:32.799 telling him the different neighborhoods of New York and New 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:34.640 Jersey and yeah, I saw him in there. 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:36.800 But he that is a big dude. That's a monster, 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:37.840 because that dude had the. 0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:39.400 Biggest thighs I've ever seen in my life. 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:41.400 Well, this is maybe the best big blue wall we've 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:43.240 had since that landing Young big blue way. 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:43.360 Oh. 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:45.480 I think that's probably correct. Yeah, yeah, don't you? 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:46.120 I think so? 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.040 Okay, Kenny Minche is on his way. So before we 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:52.680 gets there, let's do one somewhat negative thing TBT loss 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:55.240 law Familia. What an environment? Though, I do have to 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:57.520 say I got there right, I came just to feel 0:02:57.600 --> 0:02:59.680 the pregame and what an environment? 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:02.000 Was awesome, wasn't. You could feel the electricity in the air. 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:03.000 There was a buzz. 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:05.000 I just wish we could play a game in Memorial. 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:08.320 I know we can't financially, but like there's that the 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:10.400 energy in that building is so good. 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:12.639 Yeah, if you could get that crowd, those people that 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:14.359 don't get to go to RUP as much and give 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:16.840 them a real game. I mean they are just giving 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:19.000 it to the TBT refs who probably like, guys, it's 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:19.880 the tvt right now. 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:22.720 Well then one of them was the high stepper. He 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:24.560 was like, we had the high stepper. 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:28.240 They got down twelve to two, and just like that, 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:29.640 the crowd and the buzz was gone. 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:32.680 By the way, I'm gonna take responsibility. I was there 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:36.480 at the beginning during twelve ten to two and I left. Yeah, 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:37.760 well after that, I had. 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:40.400 No role in it. It didn't feel right from the beginning. 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:43.920 To David Steel's credit, they were playing hard. They like 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:46.360 move the ball really well. It can get a little 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:48.280 one on one ash in TBT. They looked like a 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:50.560 real team and I felt doomed to the moment it 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:52.080 started really and then, of course I. 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:55.240 Will tell you though I haven't bought any Davis Steele 0:03:55.440 --> 0:04:01.160 since then, no steal everything in my in my studio 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:01.880 to be wooden. 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:05.360 I throw out my stainless still toots and pains, all 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:07.000 of them out down the yard. Go pick them up 0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:09.680 if you want them going back to cast do we do? 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:11.360 I mean they're right down the road in Russell Springs. 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:12.440 They listened to ks R. 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:14.600 Oh and they were so happy and they were ryan. 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:16.719 They cried and they were crying. 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:17.000 Yeah. 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:19.039 Then I saw a video of them handing out cash 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:19.880 in the locker room. 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:22.680 They paid them in cash in the locker room. 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:24.240 Were little spending money. I don't know if I don't 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:26.160 think the two million hits they count yet, but yeah, 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:27.080 they're passing cash. 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:30.279 I would have exempt No, Yeah, I would have liked it. 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:33.240 That reminds me of when we did the Barnstorming tour 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:36.880 and we would pay Ramel and Joe in cash. 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:37.680 And then they'd throw the cash at each other. 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:40.719 Didn't know they would take There were like ten stops 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:44.040 and so like we would do stop one we got paid. 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:46.719 We didn't we didn't take credit cards. I mean, this 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.000 wasn't before credit cards, but we were like, we're not 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.680 dealing with credit cards. So you had to pay in cash. 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:55.080 So we would take the cash home that night and 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:56.120 like divvy it up. 0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:57.840 By the way, all. 0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:01.599 Reported from all my tax reported, all of them report 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:06.359 and then the next game, I would hand Joe and 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:10.479 Ramel their cash, their stack of cash, and they would 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:12.560 be like children when they got it. They would hit 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:16.680 each other over their heads with it. Ramel couldn't have 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:19.400 kept that cash more than thirty minutes because he would 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:22.520 just walk around tipping people. He would just like he 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.040 would just be like he just wanted to carry it 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:27.279 and just hand it to people. 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:29.200 I remember you're telling those stories, like yeah, they would 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:30.480 just throw their money at each. 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:33.200 Other and he would they Romel and Joe, they would 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:34.839 get that and you know sometimes it would be like 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:39.400 two grand, twenty five hundred dollars in cash. I'll just 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:42.040 hand it to them and they would just start smacking 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:45.040 each other. And maybe more than that sometimes I. 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:46.679 Think I'd leave their stack of cash at a restaurant. 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:51.279 And we went to Skyline in Cincinnati in not a 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:54.599 great part of town, and they ordered their Skyline and 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:57.440 then just set like three thousand dollars on the table. 0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:59.920 I was like, what are you doing. You're gonna get us? 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:01.960 You could get us robbed. 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:03.840 New to them and at nev N I l back then, 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:04.680 So that was a big point. 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:05.440 That's how I knew. 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:07.559 That's how I knew we weren't cheating at that point. 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:10.040 Yeah, because they were. If we were cheating, they were. 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:12.560 Too happy to have the money. They wouldn't have they 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:15.800 wouldn't have like these guys now, they wouldn't do that. 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:18.120 They'd like put it in R or something. 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:20.320 Oh, we didn't get the money last night. But they 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:22.320 still had their own section with the crowd. 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:25.120 They want some people, that's right. I think they had 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:27.160 to have been employees. That's the only thing I can 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:28.919 figure because why would you why would. 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:30.480 You be employees? And the kids of the employees. 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:33.080 I'm sorry they lost. It would have been exciting, I think. 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:37.240 I think when they played the little like in the 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:41.200 with all the pictures of the young girl tiered up, 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:44.880 you know what she's right? I get like that. I 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:47.080 didn't get it last night because it was the TBT. 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:50.200 But you get a big game, like if Kentucky's about 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:54.480 to play Florida at home and they play that, sometimes I. 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:55.440 Get a little tiered up there. 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:58.640 There's just something like emotional and nice about it. 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:00.839 Those great moments. You know the James Lee dunk at 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:03.839 the end of the seventy eight tournament. You know, Kayshawn 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:05.800 hitting one from the logo, and they put those. 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:07.919 I mean it's all the great. They really do a 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:11.520 good job. But they hit like every big UK moment 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:13.280 and then they add them as they happen. I mean, 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:15.320 oh ways, I'm sure he'll be on there this year. 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:17.560 He shot against Santa Claara. 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:19.600 Even as the season goes on, they try to get 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:21.320 some of the current team at the very back end. 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:21.960 Uh. 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:23.640 It's it's one of the best things they do. They've 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:25.320 done it a while. I mean everything from like Ed 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:27.720 Davender's dunk to Anthony Davis in the final four. They 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:28.360 include it all. 0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:30.680 Ed Davenders, you mean, excuse me. 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:33.760 Devon probably had some good dunks, but Dirk Midfield's big dunk. 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:35.880 I don't know if fed Devon could dunk Christy. 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:38.160 It's it's a they worked him in. I don't know 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:38.640 why I got this. 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:42.680 Go you have you have all our players, Carson Price 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:49.120 is dunk, Carson Stone Carson Stone's dunk. So anyway, all 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:52.360 in all, TBT experience positive, don't you think very positive? 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:54.960 I think, well, you know, everybody went had a great time. 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:57.400 Just to the outcome. I think we had a couple 0:07:57.400 --> 0:07:59.400 of guys pick a really bad time to have a 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:01.000 really bad game and it didn't help. 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:02.920 Been a problem the whole tournament. 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:05.520 Yeah, we I don't know what you do about TBT 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:08.280 free throws. What are you gonna love him? But Archie's 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:10.320 never been a free throw guy. Archie's never been a 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:12.720 big free throw. Andrew was two of eight. I think 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:15.440 Andrew was two of eight. Yeah, well he's pretty money 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:16.240 when he. 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:16.840 Had a good game. Yeah. 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:20.280 Really, the thing that held him back it's the guys. 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:24.119 Will he needed help, the guy will He really needed help. 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:26.560 The guys that committed big men and didn't help. But 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:28.400 they just had no size and it caught up to him. 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:32.199 I did enjoy Billy's Batster party. We we We saw 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:36.360 Willy calley Stein out and that was fun. Got to 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:38.600 got to hang out with Willy cally Stein and talk. 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:43.040 He's that dude if he wants to, He's a guy 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:44.880 who could be We've always talked about like who are 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:47.839 the former players that could do media here if Willy 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:50.160 wants to? And I said this to him. He he 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:53.280 We had a conversation as serious as conversation as you 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:57.000 can have at one am outside. 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:58.640 Of the vine after tequila Shi. 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:02.480 After well, I didn't have any, but he did. I 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:04.360 said to him, I was like, you know, if you 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.160 want to do this, you could do it. You just 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.679 have to, like you know, you're gonna have to put 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:11.480 effort into it. And he was like, I do want to, 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:13.600 but I also want to play golf. And I was like, well, okay, 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:15.520 but you're gonna you know, because he could do it. 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.440 He's very interesting and he has good insights on on 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:19.200 the basketball. 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:22.160 He's great for what TVT is all about, get the 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:24.720 fans involved, and he loves it. He loves to interact 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:26.880 with the fans. But that's why he would do good 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:28.800 a media. He gets what it's like to be a 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:30.000 fan of this university. 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:32.560 Minshei. By the way, will be eleven thirty. We just 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:34.760 got the text. It'll be a little bit later. What 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:36.319 do you think of will Stein's interview? 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:38.320 I thought he was fantastic. Well a matter of fact, 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:39.920 every time he steps in front of the microphone, I think 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:40.560 he's good. 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:43.080 He gets it, you know, called out TJ Walker the 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:46.480 sports talking he did. Yeah, but he doesn't like he 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:51.120 I give him credit, like he's he says what he thinks. 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:57.160 And you know, I think in today's world, authenticity matters 0:09:57.400 --> 0:10:00.960 like that. I think the it's the same politics, for 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:03.760 better or worse. I'm not saying this is necessarily good 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:06.560 or not, but the world has changed to where people 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.679 want authenticity. They when we were a kid, what we 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:12.760 thought of the way a coach acts, the way a 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:13.760 politician acts. 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:15.480 That's not what people want now, right. 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:19.200 They want to know who you are really, and I 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:21.320 think Will is very comfortable in his own skin. 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:23.560 I think you might even be to say he's one 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:23.840 of us. 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:28.600 I mean maybe, yes, No, he is one of us. Yes, 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:30.720 I do agree with that. Yeah, it was just like 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:32.760 talking to one of the guys. I mean, he's starting 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.080 his first season as a head coach, and it felt 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:36.760 like we were just talking to a fan that pulled 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:38.400 up to check out the team with the rest of us. 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:40.679 I thought he handled you know, it didn't really give 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:42.560 us much on the GM question. But you asked him 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:44.680 about a GM leaving and he immediately turned it into 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:48.080 lifting knockta up as opposed to really getting into what 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:48.720 happened there. 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:52.520 Well, I mean it's got to be it's it's I mean, 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:53.440 it's not a positive. 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:55.480 And he admitted that it was unexpected. 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:57.440 And and I think that was the news part, that 0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:00.600 it was unexpected, that they didn't know that that was coming. 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:02.520 But you know, I think they handled as well they could. 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:05.680 And I think Knocked, I mean Knacta was doing a 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:07.640 lot of that work as well. So I think if 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:10.480 you're gonna have somebody to step in, he's the perfect 0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:10.959 guy to do it. 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:13.160 Yeah, you're not throwing in some rookie. That's what Pete's done, 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:15.319 you know, the last fifteen years. He may be back 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:17.000 in Louisville. He was kind of like acting. 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:20.360 According to Will, Pete did the general manager job. Of course, 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:24.000 someone else's signed the general manager job at Louisville. I 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:26.440 kept waiting for the text. I didn't give one like that. 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:28.679 But he may not know because they may be in practice. 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:31.120 But he's gonna hear that, and I'm gonna hear from 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:33.720 him either or I could see a tweet coming out. 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:34.920 Yeah, oh yeah, I. 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:37.560 Could see a tweet a grown man, g roa and 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:40.680 man tweet coming out. But I like that. I love 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:44.199 you know, I can get I get the sense because 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:46.640 I know obviously event's very well. I've gotten to know 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:50.640 Will and Pete a little bit. I think they all 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:54.560 like each other, but there is a rivalry there cool 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:56.720 and they're not gonna hide it. I mean, it's kind 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:59.480 of like I think they like it. So take when 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:02.880 Calan We're at their biggest they didn't like each other, 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:06.640 but they didn't really want to acknowledge. 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:07.720 That they play nice when they had to. 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:10.120 They play nice, but they didn't feel nice. I don't 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:12.600 think they feel that way now right Like, I don't 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:15.560 know that they've ever gotten over that. I think I 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:19.600 do think Vince, Pete, and Will like each other, but 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:21.600 I think they're going to acknowledge that there is a 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:24.640 healthy It's a little bit like Shaman and Billy. 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:27.239 What do you mean by that. 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:31.880 Well, I mean you and Billy you like each other, 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:35.000 but you both want to make sure the other one 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:37.160 knows that the other one's better. 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:39.240 Well, Billy knows that I'm better. 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:42.000 I don't see Shannon just said Billy knows that I'm better. 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:46.240 Billy's sitting over there. That's what I'm saying. There's a 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:47.920 little bit of that. I think that's what you have 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:49.480 with the UK Louisville, but. 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:52.320 Also that's what you want from your rivalries. Like you're 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:54.360 supposed to be putting L's down in the in the 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:56.760 other fans face. Your coaches are supposed to have that banter. 0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:59.160 That's why it's a rivalry and what makes that game 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:01.320 so much more fun when it comes around every year 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:05.120 because you've had eleven months of firing off tweets or 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:07.160 whatever it is, as long as you're having that little 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:08.800 back and forth and keeping it somewhat respectful. 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:12.600 Do you think, I guess, end of the day, all 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:16.640 of this excitement. I don't think there's hype in the 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:18.840 sense that people think we're gonna win nine games, but 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:20.920 there is a sense of, Okay, this is gonna be 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:24.760 really good. Do you think I mean, is the product 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:25.800 on the field gonna meet that? 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:29.080 I think so. I think you know we're still gonna 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.640 be underdogs. We won't be like huge underdogs because I 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:34.559 think we've shortened the gap with some of these top. 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:37.560 Line so you're expecting to see it when placed absolutely Like, 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:42.200 do you think when we play Alabama win or lose, 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:44.640 is that game going to be competitive? 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:47.240 I think so. I think I think will be with 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:48.920 a lot of these games that are coming up, that. 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:51.000 Like I said, we may not be favored, but we're 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.760 gonna be in the game and be competitive. Yeah. 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:55.840 I think they're gonna be competitive in a lot of games. 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:59.160 And they're gonna whether it's Alabama or Tennessee or Florida, 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:00.240 they're gonna knock off. 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:03.480 See, I'm with you. They're gonna beat somebody, but they're 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:05.319 gonna win one of those. Big they're gonna beat some 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:10.400 I look at that. Alabama L s U. Who's the 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:14.080 other one? We have A and m Oklahoma, Florida, Florida. 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:17.240 I think we certainly can be Yeah, but let's just 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:19.080 say Tennessee, Alabama, L. 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:19.360 S U. 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:21.640 Tennessee, you're gonna win. We're gonna win one of those. Yes, 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:27.360 they're all at home right, Yes, Tennessee, Tennessee's in Knoxville. 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:29.760 Who are at home games? Alabama L s U. Van 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:34.760 Dy Florida, Florida. See we're beating Well, we're gonna beat Florida. 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:36.760 Do we count Louisville in this conversation? 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:40.240 Well, I mean I think we're gonna be I think 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:43.760 we can beat Louisville. I don't consider beating Louisville. Well, 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:46.320 I think it's punching up a little bit considering the 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:49.400 last couple of years. But to me, in Alabama or 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:53.600 l s U win is a program changer. Yeah, right, 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:57.160 A Louisville win, a Tennessee win is not a program changer, 0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:59.640 but it's close. A Louisville win is that would be 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:03.080 really great to get. But Louisville to me, I mean, 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:05.400 they're not gonna like this, but they can get over it. 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:08.640 I look at Louisville like I look at Florida, maybe 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.320 even like I looked at Mississippi State, which is that's 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:14.720 South Carolina, which is that's how you measure where your 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:17.880 program is. But it's not a changer if you win. 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:19.000 Do you agree with that? 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:20.680 I do agree with that, and I do like when 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:22.960 you ask coach Stein that. I like how you answered 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:26.120 the question. He's like, the Louisville win is important to 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:28.480 us as any game on the schedule, and we're absolutely 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:29.480 gonna go out and keep that. 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:31.320 I mean, we beat Louisville on the road two years 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:33.960 ago and we weren't even good, right. 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:36.440 So another one to watch. It's not as big of 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:39.120 a name or logo, but going at South Carolina, that's 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:41.960 a rivalry we've lost. That's when things started going on 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:44.200 to decline because you weren't winning that game anymore. That 0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:45.160 could be a fun roadway. 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:47.280 That's a bit that's I think you're right, a big one. 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:51.720 Debbie Green, you know who, of course told me something 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:53.800 recently made a lot of sense. She said, most businesses 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:57.520 don't have a marketing problem. They have a strategy problem. 0:15:57.640 --> 0:15:58.760 I wonder how they can fix that. 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:01.280 They have people to do in social media, but nobody 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:03.320 has step back and say is this working? 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:04.000 Huh. 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:06.600 That's what Debbie's the best at with bringing in the Green. 0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:09.120 She takes a step back and says, is your marketing working? 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:10.960 Rather than just saying, well, I do social media because 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:12.680 that's what you're supposed to do. Is anybody looking at 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:15.840 those videos when you do these ads? Anybody listening to them? 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:19.040 When you do the television commerciacs? They listening watching them? 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:22.280 Because if they're not, what's the point, right? That's what 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:25.640 Debbie does. She's bringing in the green dot com slash 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:28.600 KSR and she'll give you a free one hour consultation. 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:31.280 I've said this many times. Most of the businesses that 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:34.280 have had a lot of success advertising on KSR have 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:37.280 worked with Debbie. Yep, bringing in the Green dot Com 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:40.480 slash KSR a free hour, one hour consultation not just 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:44.480 about advertising on KSR, but all Kentucky and regional media 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:47.600 bringing in the Green dot com slash KSR.

Also, today's big day starting 0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:56.640 on the ESPN. 0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:58.400 Yeah, that looks good. 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:02.840 Hours away. Mario has got to get that lighting working. 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:04.760 Who hung that baseball bat up? I know you didn't 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:05.040 do it. 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:06.879 It's gonna surprise you. I didn't hang any of that. 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:10.240 Yeah as well, talk about right after this this is KSR. Yeah, 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:15.560 balls to the wall, Burner back Tucky Sports Radio. If 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:17.600 I'm note two eighth twenty two eighty seven. By the way, 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:20.040 some of you have asked, like the last week or so, 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:22.680 we really haven't taken many calls, in part just because 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:24.760 of the way the shows have worked out. First one 0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:27.280 coming back and then we had interviews and we've had this. 0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:31.960 Starting tomorrow, we will be back getting ready for phone calls, 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:35.320 et cetera, be back in studio more of a regular routine, uh, 0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:38.639 starting on on tomorrow, So hopefully we can we can 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:40.560 hear from you guys, because I've kind of missed getting 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:42.240 to talk to the callers. 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:44.720 Haven't had the callers getting pretty comfortable here at Kroger 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:45.240 Field been. 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:47.840 I mean we've been here two of the last three shows. 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:49.240 I don't know if we'll have us back for that. 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:52.120 I think they're having an open practice for the media Thursday, though. 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:53.440 Let's come back. We got our table. 0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:55.239 I think it's before we go on the are so. 0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:58.600 But but you'll start to get to see these players 0:17:58.640 --> 0:17:58.879 play a. 0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:01.679 Little bit, start getting the fall camp interviews they do weekly. 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:03.080 The updates will be coming. 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:04.760 But it gets you excited. Man, when you sit down 0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:06.239 here with the players and coach Diny, can I get 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:07.840 you excited for the upcoming season. So we need to 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:09.040 do a lot of that, a lot more of that. 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:13.320 Yeah, So two quick things. First of all, the Reds, 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:17.040 it's the trade deadline right today. I knew you would 0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:20.479 like this story. Tyler Stevenson, Yes, the catcher. Right in 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:23.440 his first at bat six seven years ago, he hit 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:25.320 home run with the first that bat with the red, 0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:27.679 first step bat in the Major's the Major's Okay, hit 0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:31.159 a home run. Then today is at six o'clock the 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:33.440 trade deadline. There's a decent chance he might get traded. 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:35.080 His contract aspires at the end of the year. They're 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:38.680 probably not going to resign him. Last at bat last night, 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:39.640 he hits a home run. 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:40.800 He hit another home run. 0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:44.399 Shannon said earlier. I've said this many times, what's your 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:46.080 most important days on the job, Shannon? 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:47.400 First day, in your last day? 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:50.480 First at bat, home run, last at bat, home run, 0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:51.399 Pretty nie, isn't it. 0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:53.639 Yeah. I think the Red Spans and will now remember 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:56.320 him fondly because of that little fact you just put out. 0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:58.320 There, and they asked him after the game to comment 0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:02.120 on and he started crying, which like you want, I mean, 0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:05.040 we all want our players on the team to care 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:07.960 so much that they cried, Drew So that was kind. 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:10.280 Of not especially at a place like Cincinnati that's been 0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:13.040 rebuilding for two decades now. Yeah, I mean, but honestly, 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:15.000 he doesn't have a lot of team success there other 0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:17.280 than making the playoffs. You're in there. For him to cry, 0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:19.560 it still shows how much he loves the connection to Cincinnati. 0:19:19.800 --> 0:19:23.960 So three o'clock today on ESPN Radio, Matt and Myron debuts. 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:27.840 Everybody's asked how you listen.

So 0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:25.960 people understand, because a couple of people are like, it's 0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:28.840 not very modern. Shut your face. You don't even know 0:20:28.920 --> 0:20:32.240 why I have it up there, that brown wildcat thing. 0:20:32.680 --> 0:20:35.960 My grandfather had that picture in his gas station when 0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:38.600 he was working and then put it in his house 0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:41.600 and he gave it to me. See that's fifty or 0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:44.720 forty years old. Yeah, so that's why it's up there. 0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:47.240 It's a nod to my grandfather who made me a 0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:50.680 Kentucky fan.

Though the only thing 0:21:17.080 --> 0:21:19.360 missing is something from the Reds. I've got an Llie 0:21:19.480 --> 0:21:22.280 de la Cruz bobblehead, but it's in Louisville. I gotta 0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:23.080 get it and bring. 0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:24.800 It back and then you all set. You'll have it 0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:25.199 all up there. 0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:26.520 Then I'll have it all there. I'm gonna have a 0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:28.320 little picture. I'm probably gonna go to the bar and 0:21:28.400 --> 0:21:31.280 steal one of those pictures of the KSR crew and 0:21:31.280 --> 0:21:33.040 put it right there next to my shoulder. 0:21:33.320 --> 0:21:35.639 Now, you always liked it when you will see somebody 0:21:35.640 --> 0:21:39.119 else and they would have a book Mitch Please behind it. 0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:41.440 I don't know if they I'm trying not to push 0:21:41.480 --> 0:21:43.960 the envelope yet, I'm not sure if they want, like 0:21:44.000 --> 0:21:46.199 I was, I have that picture of Mitch of the 0:21:46.240 --> 0:21:49.000 book in the New York Times bestseller list, but I 0:21:49.000 --> 0:21:51.160 don't know if ESPN wants a picture of Mitch McConnell 0:21:51.160 --> 0:21:53.960 behind me on the wall. So that's what I cause, 0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:56.320 you know, that's But what I might do is have 0:21:56.359 --> 0:21:58.040 a set of books and just have it to where 0:21:58.080 --> 0:22:00.080 you see Mitch Please, because then you would know, oh, 0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:00.760 that's my book. 0:22:01.240 --> 0:22:03.760 Jimmy Dike's on his home set. He has ten books 0:22:03.760 --> 0:22:05.439 and they're all the same book that he wrote. So 0:22:05.480 --> 0:22:06.480 you could put like ten Mitch. 0:22:06.600 --> 0:22:10.399 No, he does. He's got ten of his own books. 0:22:10.400 --> 0:22:11.639 Just lined up behind him. 0:22:12.240 --> 0:22:14.080 He put up ten Mitch pleases back there. 0:22:14.359 --> 0:22:15.119 That's really no. 0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:16.080 I think what I'm gonna do. 0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:18.520 I am gonna have some books, but I think I'm 0:22:18.520 --> 0:22:22.000 going to rotate the books based on what I'm reading. 0:22:22.040 --> 0:22:24.640 It's sort of like a Matt Jones book club. 0:22:24.520 --> 0:22:27.000 You need to put a little easter egg well you 0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:28.720 know what he Paige used to do the thing where 0:22:28.760 --> 0:22:31.040 he'd have a little sign behind him on around the 0:22:31.040 --> 0:22:33.920 horn and he'd write things. I'm thinking about doing that, 0:22:34.560 --> 0:22:37.000 like maybe one day just having like hey for a 0:22:37.040 --> 0:22:41.720 handsome Jimmy, right, one day having I got two questions right, 0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:44.840 like like no, if little easter eggs just for the 0:22:44.920 --> 0:22:45.440 keve like. 0:22:45.359 --> 0:22:47.960 Today, you could put carson Stone exactly. 0:22:48.000 --> 0:22:50.439 That's exactly what I would put up today, Carson Stone. 0:22:51.320 --> 0:22:53.840 I'm thinking about adding that behind it as well.

And Mario, by the way, 0:22:56.200 --> 0:22:57.840 if you get there, if you turn it on today 0:22:57.840 --> 0:23:00.399 and the lighting's not good, that's because of him.

So you're getting experienced quarterback although I haven't, 0:25:10.240 --> 0:25:11.640 you know, been on the field too much. 0:25:11.840 --> 0:25:13.720 Yeah, I mean that's one of the things people say 0:25:13.880 --> 0:25:16.960 that are around the Notre Dame program. You nearly won 0:25:17.000 --> 0:25:19.560 that job. I mean, you were right there and you 0:25:19.640 --> 0:25:22.320 decided to go in the portal, and lots of people 0:25:22.359 --> 0:25:24.000 wanted you. Welly Kentucky. 0:25:25.520 --> 0:25:29.720 Everything really from the coaches to the players who were 0:25:30.160 --> 0:25:32.919 staying from last year, the coaches that were bringing I mean, 0:25:32.960 --> 0:25:34.600 the players that the coaches were bringing in from the 0:25:34.600 --> 0:25:39.920 portal just very enticing. And and you know, Stein and Sloan, 0:25:39.960 --> 0:25:41.320 they got a really good thing going on here, and 0:25:41.320 --> 0:25:43.280 they're really smart, and I want to learn from the best. 0:25:43.520 --> 0:25:45.240 They are really smart. That's one of the things I 0:25:45.240 --> 0:25:48.040 hear about you. You're a really smart quarterback. Was that 0:25:48.080 --> 0:25:51.600 sort of connection in terms of like intelligence and just 0:25:51.680 --> 0:25:53.640 that was that part of what drew you to him? 0:25:54.040 --> 0:25:54.440 For sure? 0:25:54.520 --> 0:25:57.720 Yeah, I think just talking with my family, you know, 0:25:57.800 --> 0:26:00.359 one of the major major points for me, he was 0:26:00.400 --> 0:26:02.960 playing for a really good coach, a really smart coach 0:26:03.440 --> 0:26:05.640 who knows what it should look like and who can 0:26:05.640 --> 0:26:07.520 make me a better player, because that's all I want. 0:26:07.720 --> 0:26:11.399 And you know that's obviously found out in in Stein 0:26:11.400 --> 0:26:15.040 and Sloan, and you know with the quarterbacks they've coached 0:26:15.040 --> 0:26:17.080 in the past, you can tell that they've done it before, 0:26:17.560 --> 0:26:19.040 and I know they can do it again. 0:26:19.720 --> 0:26:22.480 Got a big offensive line. We had Colton Price up here. 0:26:22.720 --> 0:26:24.440 I mean, his legs are as big as Ryan's head. 0:26:24.600 --> 0:26:27.600 I don't know how. I mean, you gotta be you 0:26:27.680 --> 0:26:30.000 gotta love that. The protection there right. 0:26:30.080 --> 0:26:31.520 No doubt. I feel really good about it. 0:26:32.359 --> 0:26:34.840 You know, that's one thing as a quarterback, you you 0:26:34.880 --> 0:26:37.240 want to be able to lean on probably the most 0:26:37.240 --> 0:26:39.560 important part of the offense. So having those big guys 0:26:39.560 --> 0:26:40.800 in front of me is really good. And I love 0:26:40.840 --> 0:26:43.680 those guys. And but yeah, not only protecting, but also 0:26:43.760 --> 0:26:46.000 just being able to run the football. That's a really 0:26:46.240 --> 0:26:48.439 really big part in college football and especially in the SEC. 0:26:48.480 --> 0:26:50.600 What he makes your best strength as a quarterback. If 0:26:50.640 --> 0:26:53.600 you were an NFL evaluator and you were saying, Kenny 0:26:53.600 --> 0:26:55.880 Minschi does this, what do you think that would be? 0:26:56.600 --> 0:26:59.879 I would say my accuracy, whether it be just sit 0:27:00.080 --> 0:27:03.439 in the pocket or be able to make not so 0:27:03.520 --> 0:27:06.679 much as off platform throws, but throws with maybe a 0:27:06.680 --> 0:27:09.359 guy in my face or with really tight coverage. Just 0:27:09.359 --> 0:27:10.560 being able to put the ball where I want to 0:27:10.560 --> 0:27:10.800 put it. 0:27:11.160 --> 0:27:11.320 Now. 0:27:11.320 --> 0:27:14.560 I know you were at Notre Dame, so really good opponents, 0:27:15.040 --> 0:27:19.280 But I mean Alabama's on the schedule, LSU's on the schedule, 0:27:19.320 --> 0:27:21.080 Tennessee's on the sky. I mean you got to look 0:27:21.080 --> 0:27:23.600 at that and go there's so many great opportunities. Is 0:27:23.640 --> 0:27:26.000 that exciting for you? I know I don't want you. 0:27:26.119 --> 0:27:28.520 We're not looking past week one, but you sit there 0:27:28.520 --> 0:27:30.920 in Alabama's looking at you week two. It can't help 0:27:30.960 --> 0:27:31.760 but be exciting. 0:27:32.880 --> 0:27:35.760 Yeah, I mean looking at looking at the schedule way 0:27:35.760 --> 0:27:38.480 back when I got here is definitely definitely exciting. Just 0:27:38.480 --> 0:27:40.400 being able to look at all the really good teams 0:27:40.440 --> 0:27:42.640 starting from week one to week twelve that we're gonna 0:27:42.640 --> 0:27:44.240 be able to play this year. And like you said, 0:27:44.000 --> 0:27:46.679 I just view it as a really great opportunity to 0:27:47.200 --> 0:27:49.040 you know, play against the best, because that's all I 0:27:49.119 --> 0:27:49.600 really want to do. 0:27:49.720 --> 0:27:52.320 I mean the spotlight alone, I mean that second game, 0:27:52.400 --> 0:27:56.159 it'll be the whole nation watching you, and that's I 0:27:56.160 --> 0:28:00.359 would think that would be just an awesome opportunity, awesome opportunity. 0:27:59.880 --> 0:28:02.240 To you know, go out and do what we do. 0:28:03.080 --> 0:28:07.400 Hey, key, Ryan Leman, I'm from Kentucky's sports. You're known 0:28:07.400 --> 0:28:09.399 as a gunslinger. You throw it around. Yeah, in the 0:28:09.440 --> 0:28:12.760 spring game, you scrambled and scored a touchdown. Are you 0:28:12.840 --> 0:28:14.600 a dual threat guy? Are you gonna run the ball? 0:28:14.680 --> 0:28:14.760 Some? 0:28:16.160 --> 0:28:20.000 I think I can do both. Obviously, I'm a quarterback. 0:28:20.040 --> 0:28:22.120 I can throw the ball. I can make any throw 0:28:22.160 --> 0:28:24.280 in the field. But I think I do have enough 0:28:24.320 --> 0:28:27.199 athleticism to use my legs when I need to. 0:28:28.560 --> 0:28:30.439 We mentioned how you come from Notre Dame. That's obviously 0:28:30.440 --> 0:28:32.199 one of the biggest brands in the game with the 0:28:32.240 --> 0:28:34.639 history and tradition. Now you're kind of on a ground 0:28:34.640 --> 0:28:36.639 floor of what will Stun's trying to build. So he 0:28:36.720 --> 0:28:39.400 went from trying to maintain success to now start it. 0:28:39.480 --> 0:28:40.440 Is there a different. 0:28:40.120 --> 0:28:41.720 Feeling going into the games that you're kind of a 0:28:41.760 --> 0:28:43.479 part of something new and want to build it. 0:28:45.760 --> 0:28:47.800 I would say the main difference is, like you said, 0:28:48.640 --> 0:28:52.600 they're already being that sort of standard and then coming 0:28:52.640 --> 0:28:54.360 here with a bunch of new coaches, a bunch of 0:28:54.360 --> 0:28:57.960 new players from the state strength staff to even like 0:28:58.000 --> 0:29:02.960 the position coaches established and that the standard that we 0:29:03.040 --> 0:29:04.720 have for our team. I think that would be the 0:29:04.800 --> 0:29:07.000 main difference. So just being able to build that up 0:29:07.120 --> 0:29:10.640 with coach Stein, I think that would be Yeah. 0:29:10.320 --> 0:29:12.560 You don't even know you've done this, but you've created 0:29:12.960 --> 0:29:17.000 a little rivalry with Me with Us and the show 0:29:17.160 --> 0:29:18.520 Busting with the Boys. 0:29:18.800 --> 0:29:19.680 Do you know that show? 0:29:20.200 --> 0:29:21.160 Yes, I do know that show. 0:29:21.200 --> 0:29:24.040 Will Compton he thought you were going to go to 0:29:24.120 --> 0:29:26.640 Nebraska and then you came here, which led to some 0:29:26.720 --> 0:29:29.240 trash talking back and forth, which a lot of the 0:29:29.280 --> 0:29:32.040 listeners don't know has led to some occasional trash talk 0:29:32.200 --> 0:29:35.520 texting back and forth. So I don't even know him. 0:29:35.600 --> 0:29:39.680 I've never even met him, but we argue about you 0:29:40.800 --> 0:29:44.160 quite a bit. So I'm excited You've got to prove 0:29:44.240 --> 0:29:47.400 Will Compton wrong as you go out this year. 0:29:48.640 --> 0:29:50.840 Yeah, I don't want to get in between your guys's beef, 0:29:50.840 --> 0:29:52.000 which it sounds like I already am. 0:29:52.680 --> 0:29:56.520 Well, yes you are the Bee. 0:29:57.800 --> 0:29:59.600 But yeah, I haven't seen too much of their show, 0:29:59.640 --> 0:30:01.720 but yeah, i'd probably say I like the show a 0:30:01.720 --> 0:30:02.280 little bit better. 0:30:02.560 --> 0:30:06.040 Big look at that. There we go. Then you're I'm 0:30:06.080 --> 0:30:08.560 completely on your side. All right.

Final segment here from 0:34:40.800 --> 0:34:45.560 Kroger Fields KSR. So this is the Kenny Minschie song 0:34:45.640 --> 0:34:46.160 he likes. 0:34:46.320 --> 0:34:48.719 Yeah, this is Starved by Zach Brian. 0:34:49.480 --> 0:34:52.680 Starved. I hope they don't play this when he runs out. 0:34:53.160 --> 0:34:54.520 We need to pick up the pace a little bit. 0:34:54.600 --> 0:34:56.360 I think we're gonna need to begin injacked up and 0:34:56.680 --> 0:34:59.000 I need a little bit more energy when he comes 0:34:59.000 --> 0:35:01.280 out into play Vible for when he comes. 0:35:01.080 --> 0:35:03.560 Out, I would have guessed fifty artists before I would 0:35:03.560 --> 0:35:05.719 have guessed Zach Bryan is who he likes to listen to. 0:35:06.160 --> 0:35:08.120 Yes, well, you know, and. 0:35:08.120 --> 0:35:10.600 A TV show. I would not have guessed SpongeBob Square. 0:35:10.680 --> 0:35:13.480 You said it made you feel old that he likes SpongeBob. 0:35:13.960 --> 0:35:15.160 And he looks like he's twelve. 0:35:15.239 --> 0:35:16.360 He does look like a child. 0:35:16.680 --> 0:35:19.640 He's very very young, looking very young, and he says 0:35:20.160 --> 0:35:23.080 watching SpongeBob, I'm like, oh my goodness, I am one hundred. 0:35:23.120 --> 0:35:25.040 Is very He does look very very young. 0:35:25.120 --> 0:35:25.680 Yeah he does. 0:35:25.840 --> 0:35:28.680 Yeah, and a Nashville native that doesn't like the Titans. 0:35:29.000 --> 0:35:30.520 I thought we're gonna bond over that too. 0:35:30.560 --> 0:35:33.600 And I mean, I think, you know, knowing nothing else 0:35:33.640 --> 0:35:35.160 about him besides what we saw there, I think he's 0:35:35.320 --> 0:35:38.960 he's a very unique personality. But quarterbacks are like that. Quarterbacks, 0:35:39.080 --> 0:35:42.600 quarterbacks and kickers, they can be they can be unique. 0:35:42.360 --> 0:35:44.600 They can be very confident, boastful, and. 0:35:44.560 --> 0:35:46.799 Then there's he was actually seemed like pretty humble or. 0:35:46.760 --> 0:35:48.759 Mind me like Steven Johnson. Steph Johnson was kind of 0:35:48.760 --> 0:35:49.000 that way. 0:35:49.040 --> 0:35:51.879 That's that's a good analogy. Yeah, just coming eight five, 0:35:52.640 --> 0:35:55.280 twenty two eighty seven. Court physical therapy. If you need 0:35:55.360 --> 0:35:58.040 if you're out, you're working out, you know you're in there, 0:35:58.160 --> 0:36:02.399 you're you're doing the jump jack's or the cartwheels. Uh, 0:36:02.520 --> 0:36:05.320 court physical therapy. You might get hurt, maybe you strained something. 0:36:05.520 --> 0:36:07.400 I would definitely get hurt trying to do a cartwheel. 0:36:07.440 --> 0:36:10.000 I'd like to see you do a cartwheel. Uh. 0:36:10.080 --> 0:36:13.439 Go to KRT dot com over seventy locations. Uh. Most 0:36:13.440 --> 0:36:15.960 of your insurance will pay for it. Uh as you 0:36:15.960 --> 0:36:17.960 get closer to the end of the year, your deductibles 0:36:17.960 --> 0:36:21.720 need to be used. Court dot com. That's KRT dot com. 0:36:21.920 --> 0:36:25.480 Go to court physical Therapy. I was in the pool 0:36:25.520 --> 0:36:29.279 this weekend, did some cartwheels. Finally figured out how to 0:36:29.280 --> 0:36:30.160 get the bugs out. 0:36:30.280 --> 0:36:31.399 And the bugs just floating around. 0:36:32.080 --> 0:36:33.800 Apparently there's a thing called a pump. 0:36:34.160 --> 0:36:35.760 Yeah, those are usually with the pools. 0:36:35.840 --> 0:36:36.920 It might not have been on. 0:36:39.320 --> 0:36:39.840 Your filter. 0:36:40.400 --> 0:36:43.960 Yeah, maybe that wasn't on. Yeah, probably should have done that. 0:36:44.040 --> 0:36:45.840 Yeah, I still got a lot to learn about the pool. 0:36:46.239 --> 0:36:48.640 But then once you did it, it was interesting buggling away. 0:36:49.120 --> 0:36:51.200 Wow, you get it all figured out. 0:36:51.080 --> 0:36:53.840 You know, slowly, but surely. The blinds are now working. 0:36:54.200 --> 0:36:54.600 Wow. 0:36:55.560 --> 0:36:57.480 Now the only thing I have left is I have 0:36:57.520 --> 0:36:59.719 a fan and I can't figure out how to turn 0:36:59.760 --> 0:37:02.400 it all or turn it on, and so birds are 0:37:02.440 --> 0:37:04.160 staying at the top of it. I need to turn 0:37:04.160 --> 0:37:05.279 it on so they'll get away from me. 0:37:05.320 --> 0:37:07.759 Hopefully. This is an outdoor fan. It is an outdoor fan. 0:37:07.840 --> 0:37:08.359 They're not. 0:37:09.920 --> 0:37:10.360 A problem. 0:37:10.520 --> 0:37:12.960 That would be a problem. But but yeah, I'm starting 0:37:12.960 --> 0:37:16.600 to learn stuff, and you know, I'm feeling a little 0:37:16.600 --> 0:37:21.080 bit like a homeowner. One person wrote about the space matt. 0:37:21.200 --> 0:37:23.000 That's a that's a lot of stuff on a very 0:37:23.040 --> 0:37:28.000 small part of your wall. Won't that look odd? No, goober, 0:37:29.360 --> 0:37:31.240 that's the part the camera sees. 0:37:31.719 --> 0:37:32.840 It's not like it's your kitchen. 0:37:33.080 --> 0:37:35.320 It doesn't do any good to have stuff in parts 0:37:35.360 --> 0:37:36.520 that they can't see. 0:37:37.160 --> 0:37:38.439 I thought, you see what I'm saying. 0:37:38.560 --> 0:37:41.480 Don't have plenty of room to add more stuff, all 0:37:41.520 --> 0:37:45.200 this stuff, like what you're seeing that little square we 0:37:45.360 --> 0:37:48.919 I mean, Mario was there Friday. We've measured what can 0:37:49.000 --> 0:37:52.319 actually be seen on camera. If I put stuff to 0:37:52.360 --> 0:37:54.200 the left or above or to the right. Now, well 0:37:54.200 --> 0:37:56.359 you won't be able to see it anyway. I mean 0:37:56.400 --> 0:37:58.759 I might do it eventually, just for life, but like 0:37:58.840 --> 0:38:01.319 that was for the back. What is going to be 0:38:01.360 --> 0:38:03.319 on camera? And then there's a little hole. But that 0:38:03.400 --> 0:38:08.360 hole is for me. That's right, that's that's my body, 0:38:08.600 --> 0:38:09.640 that will be right there. 0:38:09.880 --> 0:38:11.760 Sounds like somebody doesn't have a TV show the broadcasts 0:38:11.760 --> 0:38:12.279 out of their home. 0:38:12.600 --> 0:38:15.440 Yeah, I mean, like I get it, but you gotta understand, 0:38:15.440 --> 0:38:17.319 like I gotta you know, there's gotta be space for 0:38:17.400 --> 0:38:20.160 me and my big head. That's why there's that little 0:38:20.200 --> 0:38:22.680 line in the center. That's from my head. 0:38:22.719 --> 0:38:25.120 All that stuff goes around. We get it. 0:38:25.160 --> 0:38:26.279 Sounds like he didn't get it. 0:38:26.560 --> 0:38:27.760 Clearly don't have a TV show? 0:38:28.000 --> 0:38:30.840 All right, So do you leave Media Day excited about 0:38:30.880 --> 0:38:33.520 the this UK group I do. 0:38:33.840 --> 0:38:35.520 I mean, all I had to hear was will Stein 0:38:35.520 --> 0:38:37.399 talk to us, and that got me excited. I mean, 0:38:37.440 --> 0:38:39.080 I love everything, everything. 0:38:38.840 --> 0:38:40.520 But we've been to a lot of these over the years. 0:38:40.520 --> 0:38:45.680 I mean, this is probably our fifteenth, go back to 0:38:45.719 --> 0:38:48.640 when I started the website, probably my twentieth, but fifteenth 0:38:48.800 --> 0:38:53.000 probably doing the show. Here the thing, here's the thing 0:38:53.040 --> 0:38:55.799 that I would take away as my biggest takeaway, Drew, 0:38:56.080 --> 0:39:00.680 what's up the class? And I don't mean class like Tody, 0:39:01.560 --> 0:39:08.440 but the status of everything has upgraded, Facilities nicer, you know, 0:39:08.920 --> 0:39:12.920 the sort of I guess what it was you call it, 0:39:13.640 --> 0:39:17.440 you know, arrangement of it, including like time is more precise, 0:39:18.400 --> 0:39:21.719 food is better. I know these are little things, but 0:39:21.840 --> 0:39:25.600 it suggests to me a group that's concerned about upgrading 0:39:25.640 --> 0:39:28.960 the look of something and details, you know what I mean. Like, 0:39:29.000 --> 0:39:30.800 I mean, it had gotten to the point that sometimes 0:39:30.800 --> 0:39:33.120 I felt like we were like going to a school 0:39:33.120 --> 0:39:36.279 cafeteria for stuff, and then it was just kind of like, oh, 0:39:36.320 --> 0:39:38.480 here we go, here comes to meeting again. There was 0:39:38.520 --> 0:39:41.080 a lot of thought put into today, you know what 0:39:41.120 --> 0:39:43.920 I mean. And I think that's kind of symbolic of 0:39:43.960 --> 0:39:45.200 the whole thing as a whole. 0:39:45.400 --> 0:39:47.319 Yeah, this is just one day and they're a year 0:39:47.360 --> 0:39:50.560 long operation. So if everything is running so smoothly here 0:39:50.560 --> 0:39:52.799 and so well done today, it tells me that every day, 0:39:52.840 --> 0:39:55.080 whatever they have going on in their meetings and everything 0:39:55.080 --> 0:39:57.480 behind the scenes, that all that's in a row, and 0:39:57.520 --> 0:39:59.120 every being very intentional with that too. 0:39:59.440 --> 0:40:04.640 Yeah. I mean when you to me, the big things 0:40:04.680 --> 0:40:08.920 in life are determined by the little things, right. So 0:40:08.960 --> 0:40:11.360 you remember many years ago, Drew when I would be like, 0:40:11.719 --> 0:40:14.520 we have a post every hour, and it would probably 0:40:14.560 --> 0:40:17.120 be like seven oh five and there wouldn't be a post, 0:40:17.120 --> 0:40:18.600 and I'd probably call and go, where's the post? And 0:40:18.640 --> 0:40:22.920 I'm sure people go, it's five minutes. Calm down. But 0:40:23.000 --> 0:40:26.200 there was a there was a detail part. Let's get 0:40:26.360 --> 0:40:29.360 the details right and then everything else will work. I 0:40:29.400 --> 0:40:31.719 get the sense that's how these guys are, that they 0:40:31.760 --> 0:40:34.960 are like, let's get the small stuff right and then 0:40:35.000 --> 0:40:36.560 the big stuff will work after that. 0:40:36.680 --> 0:40:38.880 And that's not just steying. Everybody underneath him seems to 0:40:38.880 --> 0:40:39.160 be there. 0:40:39.160 --> 0:40:42.439 I agree, Kurt Signetti. I've been reading about Indiana. That's 0:40:42.440 --> 0:40:45.319 what he is, right, Like, he's like, you get the 0:40:45.320 --> 0:40:49.000 details right. You know, it's the theory we've about the 0:40:49.040 --> 0:40:52.040 broken windows theory of policing, which some people don't like. 0:40:52.520 --> 0:40:55.200 It's a conservative theory. I actually agree with it. You're 0:40:55.200 --> 0:40:57.920 in a neighborhood and you see broken windows or you 0:40:57.960 --> 0:41:00.719 see graffiti, and you think to your self, else, well, 0:41:00.760 --> 0:41:03.200 nobody cares about anything here, correct, So I can do 0:41:03.239 --> 0:41:07.399 whatever I want. You clean up the graffiti, you you 0:41:07.480 --> 0:41:09.960 fix the windows, and it looks like this is a 0:41:09.960 --> 0:41:13.120 place that's nice. This isn't a place for havoc. Right. 0:41:13.360 --> 0:41:15.440 I think the same thing's true about a football program. 0:41:15.560 --> 0:41:18.640 You do the details, the uniforms look good, you've put 0:41:18.680 --> 0:41:21.040 a new code of paints, you put good food places, 0:41:21.120 --> 0:41:23.239 et cetera. And all of a sudden, everybody wants to 0:41:23.320 --> 0:41:25.040 upgrade to the environment where they're in. 0:41:25.560 --> 0:41:29.200 And I think the football program needed that. I agree, 0:41:29.320 --> 0:41:32.160 boost it got. I think they got a little stagnant. 0:41:32.440 --> 0:41:34.919 Stagnant's a great word. Yes, I think the whole thing. 0:41:36.360 --> 0:41:38.640 Towards the end of the cal air, the basketball program 0:41:38.680 --> 0:41:40.680 is stack. Towards the end of the Stoops air, the 0:41:40.680 --> 0:41:43.760 football program is stacked. Towards the end of the Barnhart area, 0:41:44.000 --> 0:41:46.560 A lot of the athletic department stuff was stack. Yeah, 0:41:46.640 --> 0:41:50.239 it feels like that sort of injecting the boost I 0:41:50.239 --> 0:41:52.319 think is needed. And you could kind of feel that 0:41:53.400 --> 0:41:55.560 Drew today in a way that I think has been 0:41:55.600 --> 0:41:56.399 interesting to watch. 0:41:56.440 --> 0:41:58.200 Yeah to that, I said, for many years it felt 0:41:58.200 --> 0:42:00.000 like they just run on autopilot over there, like let's 0:42:00.160 --> 0:42:03.960 do it just yes, that's the there's ideas and just 0:42:04.000 --> 0:42:06.320 working hard on everything and also just with the players 0:42:06.360 --> 0:42:09.360 and the coaches, the well Stein's got the little bit 0:42:09.360 --> 0:42:11.919 of arrogance, but there's a quiet confidence. This for many 0:42:11.960 --> 0:42:13.680 years is let's go see what we can do. Let's 0:42:13.680 --> 0:42:16.279 go to work. Well, maybe we'll surprise everyone. This is 0:42:16.360 --> 0:42:17.960 like no, we're good, and we're good, ready to go 0:42:17.960 --> 0:42:18.319 show it. 0:42:18.360 --> 0:42:20.640 I like it. Well, listen, thank you all very much. 0:42:20.640 --> 0:42:23.319 Thanks to UK for setting us up here U at 0:42:23.360 --> 0:42:26.480 media Day, and thanks to all the folks in Lexingon. 0:42:26.520 --> 0:42:29.200 We've been doing this at this place now to the 0:42:29.239 --> 0:42:32.360 last three days.
