<v Speaker 3>So this is a remote.

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:46.800
<v Speaker 2>This was originally Friday was supposed to be UK Football

0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:51.160
<v Speaker 2>Media Day. It got moved to Monday, so we decided

0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:53.120
<v Speaker 2>to do a remote on Friday in Summerset.

0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:55.200
<v Speaker 5>You're right about going to Somerset the most. I feel

0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:57.200
<v Speaker 5>like that's our most frequent Heck, we just announced the

0:01:57.240 --> 0:01:58.279
<v Speaker 5>Somerset Golf Scramble.

0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:01.600
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Summerset Golf scram Our. Second home. Yeah, Somerset, there

0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:04.240
<v Speaker 2>we go. How Rogers, We've been there longer than him.

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:06.760
<v Speaker 2>I saw he's eighty nine years old, by the way,

0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:12.280
<v Speaker 2>eighty nine and running for re election. Boy, I'm not done.

0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:15.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I did forty five years in office.

0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 4>He's probably enough, got a parkway named after him.

0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:25.160
<v Speaker 2>He named himself. I mean I could name myself a

0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:28.720
<v Speaker 2>park where I couldn't, but like you could. So there

0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:34.640
<v Speaker 2>you go for hal Rogers. Secondly, I you know, we

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 2>keep having this problem Drew where I say something that

0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:42.240
<v Speaker 2>I like and then long line today at the Winchester

0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:46.120
<v Speaker 2>Road McDonald's, oh ol Corn spots. I think maybe the

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:48.600
<v Speaker 2>secret got out. Oh man, am I just gonna have

0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:52.800
<v Speaker 2>to stop? And I ain'ted up punking at somebody. Oh no,

0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.080
<v Speaker 2>I freak with that location. Yeah, so you don't. You

0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.040
<v Speaker 2>got a hard time because you want to tell people

0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:01.440
<v Speaker 2>about good things. But then now all of a sudden,

0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:03.760
<v Speaker 2>then the woman said at the window, she goes, We've

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 2>been so busy today, and I'm like, yesr effect, we

0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:08.720
<v Speaker 2>let our secrets out.

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:11.359
<v Speaker 5>Back in the day, you mentioned going to hotel bathrooms

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:13.560
<v Speaker 5>on road trips. Now, anytime I stopped, there's like ten people.

0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:19.919
<v Speaker 2>That to me was the best travel hack. I agree

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.079
<v Speaker 2>with you. Now you go to a holiday in bathroom

0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:25.320
<v Speaker 2>and it's lined up, But that was a great travel hack.

0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:25.560
<v Speaker 6>I was.

0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:27.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm not the only one over the years that has

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:30.400
<v Speaker 2>noticed that. But that was that was awesome. You know

0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:32.320
<v Speaker 2>there was Did you ever see what was the name

0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 2>of the guy the cook boordain a da He had

0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:37.720
<v Speaker 2>a thing where he would go to foreign countries and

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:39.600
<v Speaker 2>he would find like some hole in the wall spot

0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:41.119
<v Speaker 2>put it on a show, and then he would ruin.

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:44.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, because then everybody would everybody would show up.

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:45.680
<v Speaker 3>There's a movie coming out about him.

0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:46.680

<v Speaker 2>You bring that one up all the time. That was

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:20.200
<v Speaker 2>twenty one and Fun Fun twenty thirteen. Ramone on the

0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:21.800
<v Speaker 2>cover of all the people from that team he had

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:23.719
<v Speaker 2>Harris and Ramone Harris. I'm in the middle of my

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:26.760
<v Speaker 2>first John Grisham book seeing all the hypes about well

0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:28.880
<v Speaker 2>those are old too, I mean, what are a pretty

0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.560
<v Speaker 2>newer one. Oh so you didn't do like the firm seeing.

0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:34.120
<v Speaker 5>The movies of the firm, But yeah, I had to

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:36.120
<v Speaker 5>see what all this hype about is. This is John Grisham,

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.200
<v Speaker 5>guy's you should.

0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Try a new guy that just came out recently, Bill Shakespeare, Homer,

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:48.599
<v Speaker 2>all kinds of his. It's called a five nine twenty

0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 2>two eighty seven. We are gonna do something rare, which

0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:55.720
<v Speaker 2>is I'm actually going to start about basketball, which is

0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:57.640
<v Speaker 2>not what we do in the summer. But I am

0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:03.359
<v Speaker 2>because the uk SEC schedule came out yesterday and we

0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:04.800
<v Speaker 2>already knew who they were gonna play.

0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:06.560
<v Speaker 3>Now we just know the order.

0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:10.800
<v Speaker 2>And it is clear to me in recent years that

0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:14.719
<v Speaker 2>the SEC has made a move to where they are

0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.120
<v Speaker 2>for Kentucky, and I don't really know if they're doing

0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:19.000
<v Speaker 2>this for the other teams. I kind of think it's

0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:25.040
<v Speaker 2>for Kentucky. They are backloading these schedules to where Kentucky

0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:29.159
<v Speaker 2>plays all the bad teams early and then plays most

0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:32.919
<v Speaker 2>of the good teams late. Probably because I'm sure this

0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:37.040
<v Speaker 2>is happening all across the sport. They're essentially saying people

0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.839
<v Speaker 2>are not gonna be paying attention to college basketball until

0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:44.080
<v Speaker 2>the NFL ends really until February, so we're putting all our.

0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:45.080
<v Speaker 3>Good games in February.

0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.920
<v Speaker 2>That kind of leads into March. And also it's not

0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:51.680
<v Speaker 2>even I think it's just that's when the nation's attention

0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:56.360
<v Speaker 2>shifts to college basketball. So it puts pressure, I think,

0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:59.040
<v Speaker 2>on Kentucky to get off to good starts in the SEC.

0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:03.240
<v Speaker 2>So like last year when we started poorly, we didn't

0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:05.320
<v Speaker 2>think we'd make the tournament necessarily, and then we went

0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:08.600
<v Speaker 2>on a little bit of a run. But all you

0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:10.240
<v Speaker 2>gotta do is look at the schedule this year. This

0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 2>is who we open up with at Oklahoma, Old Miss

0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:20.520
<v Speaker 2>at Missouri, LSU Vandy at home at Mississippi State. You

0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:23.080
<v Speaker 2>could really start out hot. You could make an argument

0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 2>those are five of the six worst teams in the SEC, yep,

0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:28.840
<v Speaker 2>in our first six games. I mean, you could make

0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:31.280
<v Speaker 2>a strong argument that if you're sitting there looking at

0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:35.040
<v Speaker 2>our schedule, you would say, with the exception of South Carolina,

0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 2>who are the worst teams in the league, and we

0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.560
<v Speaker 2>start with all of them yep. So you could have

0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:42.280
<v Speaker 2>a chance to go six and oh five and one

0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:44.040
<v Speaker 2>to start the SEC.

0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:46.320
<v Speaker 3>Do you like that?

0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:51.040
<v Speaker 5>I do, But you gotta capitalize you do, Like, I

0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:53.279
<v Speaker 5>don't want to put too much on them, but you

0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:55.359
<v Speaker 5>kind of need to start six and oh maybe you

0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:57.640
<v Speaker 5>slip up one. But if you drop too many in

0:06:57.640 --> 0:06:59.240
<v Speaker 5>that game, you head into the back end, which we'll

0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:02.160
<v Speaker 5>get to. I mean, that's those are your most winnable

0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:03.159
<v Speaker 5>games right out of the gate.

0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:06.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you've got to come out hot.

0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:09.560
<v Speaker 4>It's not crazy. You could go undefeated in January.

0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:11.160
<v Speaker 3>You could.

0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.200
<v Speaker 2>If you want to contend, you might need to. I

0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:15.840
<v Speaker 2>think if you want to win the league, you do

0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:17.160
<v Speaker 2>probably need to do that.

0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:19.520
<v Speaker 4>Wait set up if if Tennessee and Vanderbilt, or maybe

0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:21.080
<v Speaker 4>your two toughest games they're both at RUP.

0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:23.120
<v Speaker 2>But just think about it like this. Here are your

0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:28.360
<v Speaker 2>five Saturdays in February March. These are the weekend games

0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:32.680
<v Speaker 2>in February and March. Alabama at home at Tennessee, Arkansas

0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:37.560
<v Speaker 2>at home, Auburn at home at Florida. There's your Saturday

0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:42.360
<v Speaker 2>games that's tough in February March. They basically and that

0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:47.280
<v Speaker 2>is essentially you could get those phone calls Rick. That

0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:54.160
<v Speaker 2>is essentially UK being a prime Saturday every week on ESPN,

0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:56.640
<v Speaker 2>And that's the way it's going to be set up.

0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:00.280
<v Speaker 5>Last year, I guess you needed the mall. Sorry the

0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:03.400
<v Speaker 5>week before that at Texas. Yeah, last year they needed

0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:06.080
<v Speaker 5>Mamalachai you know, famous play to not be one and

0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:09.280
<v Speaker 5>three to start conference play. If you start anything like that,

0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:12.360
<v Speaker 5>you're in big trouble. But just like last year, we

0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:14.920
<v Speaker 5>played all the bad teams. So I think this is

0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.200
<v Speaker 5>my point is this is clearly a pattern.

0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:19.520
<v Speaker 2>It's not an accident. This is what we're gonna be

0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:22.440
<v Speaker 2>dealing with probably going forward, which is you just have

0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:27.560
<v Speaker 2>to assume. So you get January to get your engine ribbed,

0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:30.200
<v Speaker 2>but then you better ryan have it riffed.

0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:32.160
<v Speaker 4>If you were a pope, you'd almost want it this

0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:34.600
<v Speaker 4>way right, kind of find your footing early, you kind

0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:36.520
<v Speaker 4>of get play your best basketball at the end of

0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:37.600
<v Speaker 4>the season going into March.

0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:39.839
<v Speaker 5>There's a lot of pressure to do it right away.

0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:42.520
<v Speaker 5>I might rather just be kind of more balanced instead

0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:44.960
<v Speaker 5>of one or the other. But it's done the alternative

0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:46.080
<v Speaker 5>of playing the hard games first.

0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:48.439
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm kind of with you because you don't. I mean,

0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.000
<v Speaker 2>you have a shot to go into the NCAA tournament.

0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:53.439
<v Speaker 2>You might even be playing well and losing three to

0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:57.680
<v Speaker 2>five just because of the way your schedule is Luckily

0:08:57.760 --> 0:08:59.880
<v Speaker 2>they don't do that thing anymore in the tournament where.

0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:01.400
<v Speaker 3>It's like the last ten games.

0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:04.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no reason, right, they claim, they claim that that

0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:09.120
<v Speaker 2>doesn't have anything to do with it. But then just

0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:12.000
<v Speaker 2>kind of big picture on the schedule, you're gonna have

0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:15.800
<v Speaker 2>this long period of time, So like, let's just look

0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:19.080
<v Speaker 2>at the Rupperina schedule. So, win are the good games

0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:23.520
<v Speaker 2>in Rupperena? All right, do we have any home games

0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:25.319
<v Speaker 2>Louisville in December?

0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:25.920
<v Speaker 7>Wait?

0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:29.480
<v Speaker 2>When do we play Louisville the twelfth? December twelfth? So

0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:33.200
<v Speaker 2>one good home game in December. Here are your home

0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:41.120
<v Speaker 2>games in January Old Miss, LSU, Vanderbilt, Tennessee. So you're

0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:45.760
<v Speaker 2>gonna have essentially there's not gonna be there. You're gonna

0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:50.280
<v Speaker 2>play Louisville in Tennessee. But besides that, you don't really

0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:52.960
<v Speaker 2>start having good home games until February, and then they're

0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:54.839
<v Speaker 2>just murderers row there for a little bit and then

0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:58.560
<v Speaker 2>you get Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Texas, A and M. But

0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:04.400
<v Speaker 2>it's interesting, if you're a home season ticket holder Tennessee,

0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:09.240
<v Speaker 2>you played January twenty third, you will go from the

0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:14.000
<v Speaker 2>start of November till January twenty third with really one

0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:17.080
<v Speaker 2>good game, the Louisville game, and that's it.

0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:20.040
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, this is Ryan always beats this drum, But this

0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:23.319
<v Speaker 5>year I think he's spot on about the home scheduling

0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:26.760
<v Speaker 5>fans not getting many good games. There's Marquee games in

0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:29.160
<v Speaker 5>the non conference, but only the one at home. Otherwise

0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:31.880
<v Speaker 5>it's Bryant and James Madison and Manhattan.

0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:33.360
<v Speaker 2>Now you get a good great you get a great

0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:36.000
<v Speaker 2>run if you're a home season ticket holder the last

0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:39.360
<v Speaker 2>four weeks of the season, right, you got hopecent? Do wonder?

0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:39.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:43.960
<v Speaker 2>I do wonder, Like how if you're UK, do you

0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:47.839
<v Speaker 2>make sure in November, December and January you have good

0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:50.360
<v Speaker 2>home courts? Remember last year we lost to Missouri at

0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:54.080
<v Speaker 2>home in part because the gym was sleepy. You know,

0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:57.800
<v Speaker 2>when you play Old miss and LSU and Vandy in January,

0:10:58.000 --> 0:10:59.560
<v Speaker 2>you got to make sure there's a crowd. And I

0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:02.280
<v Speaker 2>just think it's be hard to get momentum in Rupperena

0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:05.160
<v Speaker 2>because we're not playing anybody until January twenty third.

0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:07.839
<v Speaker 4>Preaching to the choir here, That's why I like they

0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:09.480
<v Speaker 4>need to have more of those games in December. Just

0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:13.000
<v Speaker 4>schedule a couple of those Saturday Prime primetime games at Rupperina.

0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:16.440
<v Speaker 2>Now John cal Perry says, by the way, I don't

0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:19.640
<v Speaker 2>believe him, but he does say we tried to call

0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:22.160
<v Speaker 2>three hundred teams to get them to come and play

0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:25.560
<v Speaker 2>a home game at Arkansas and nobody would. Now, I'll

0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:28.360
<v Speaker 2>remind you this is the same coach who said home

0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:32.280
<v Speaker 2>games were worthless when he was here. But I do

0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:35.600
<v Speaker 2>wonder if in today's in isole era it is hard

0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:38.839
<v Speaker 2>to get teams to come into your gym.

0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.559
<v Speaker 5>There's been other schools say, not just Cal They've said

0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:43.040
<v Speaker 5>they've had trouble scheduling games like that.

0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:45.720
<v Speaker 2>It is, I think, very hard because when you play,

0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:50.000
<v Speaker 2>let's just say Kentucky wanted to play Yukon. Okay, Kentucky

0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:53.000
<v Speaker 2>and Yukon can agree to play two different ways. You

0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:57.200
<v Speaker 2>could either have two games on neutral courts, sell twenty

0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:02.000
<v Speaker 2>thousand seats, split the revenue in half, and they get

0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:07.480
<v Speaker 2>to sell it to a TV network. Or you get

0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:10.280
<v Speaker 2>to play one game at home where you keep the revenue,

0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:12.680
<v Speaker 2>and Yukon gets to play one game at home where

0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.800
<v Speaker 2>they keep the revenue. The reality is there's more money

0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:19.320
<v Speaker 2>in playing twice on a neutral court, and I think

0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:21.880
<v Speaker 2>for both Kentucky and Yukon. If they were gonna start

0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:24.079
<v Speaker 2>a series, it just makes more sense for them to

0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:26.640
<v Speaker 2>go play on two neutral courts. And I just think, Ryan,

0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:28.400
<v Speaker 2>that's what we're gonna see going forward.

0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:29.680
<v Speaker 4>So how do they fix it?

0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:29.839
<v Speaker 6>Then?

0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.960
<v Speaker 2>How don't think you can fix it? I think the

0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:35.840
<v Speaker 2>incentive structure is on these schools to go play neutral

0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:41.320
<v Speaker 2>court games. It's not just even about the tournament. There's

0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:44.800
<v Speaker 2>such a push to get money that I'm not sure

0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:48.360
<v Speaker 2>they can do anything but this. And I think really

0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:51.080
<v Speaker 2>the only answer if you want better home games is

0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:53.120
<v Speaker 2>you're just gonna have to play more SEC games.

0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:55.600
<v Speaker 3>How many SEC games do we play?

0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:58.559
<v Speaker 2>We play eighteen, You probably gonna have to play twenty

0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:00.840
<v Speaker 2>or twenty two and then you'll get better, or otherwise

0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:02.640
<v Speaker 2>you're just gonna be playing coppin State.

0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:04.880
<v Speaker 5>And as we saw with Duke, when you get out

0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:06.680
<v Speaker 5>of your own gym, you're not tied to your rights

0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:08.439
<v Speaker 5>and you can go sell to Amazon and get whatever

0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:08.760
<v Speaker 5>that want.

0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.360
<v Speaker 2>Right, So Duke's a perfect example. Duke could have played

0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:14.880
<v Speaker 2>Michigan and now that game got postponed. Now they're playing

0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:17.040
<v Speaker 2>Texas Tech. But let's just say you're playing Duke in

0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:19.719
<v Speaker 2>Texas Tech. They could go play in Cameron and go

0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:22.320
<v Speaker 2>play at Texas Tech and only get so much money,

0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:24.800
<v Speaker 2>or they could and they have to put the game

0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:28.680
<v Speaker 2>on ESPN. Or they can go play on a neutral

0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:31.920
<v Speaker 2>court and go sign with Amazon and get five million dollars.

0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:34.240
<v Speaker 2>They're gonna go sign with Amazon. I mean, that's just

0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:35.320
<v Speaker 2>gonna be what they're gonna do.

0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:38.199
<v Speaker 4>So if they expand the SEC and start playing those

0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:39.480
<v Speaker 4>games in December, then.

0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:41.880
<v Speaker 3>I think you'd have to Yeah.

0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:44.800
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, I think if you're just looking at how

0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:48.240
<v Speaker 2>the schedule sets up to win, it gives a Kentucky

0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:49.839
<v Speaker 2>a runway to get good.

0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:52.240
<v Speaker 5>You can find yourself on the top ten if you

0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:54.920
<v Speaker 5>could down there, you really could, like cause our non

0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:57.160
<v Speaker 5>conference schedule, we've talked about this.

0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:59.920
<v Speaker 2>It's good, but it's not as good as it usually is.

0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the names are good, but the teams aren't

0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:06.800
<v Speaker 2>as good. Louli's the only top ten team we're playing

0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:08.040
<v Speaker 2>this year in the non com.

0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:10.520
<v Speaker 5>Kansas and North Carolina aren't where they traditionally, they're.

0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:12.920
<v Speaker 2>Not where they usually are, and Indiana is not usually

0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:16.240
<v Speaker 2>where they where they've been years ago. So you actually

0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:20.320
<v Speaker 2>have a non conference schedule where the names look good,

0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:22.640
<v Speaker 2>but Ryan, the teams are not as good as they

0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:23.960
<v Speaker 2>usually are, Like.

0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:26.360
<v Speaker 4>You mentioned Kansas, North Carolina, Kansas, we had the recruiting

0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:30.800
<v Speaker 4>battle with with Stokes Kenny, but they may not be good.

0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:33.120
<v Speaker 4>And then North Carolina did what a lot of fans

0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:34.720
<v Speaker 4>here wanted to do. Get rid of there.

0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:41.280
<v Speaker 2>And then Virginia Virginia who's good but not but not great. No,

0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.320
<v Speaker 2>so that place will be on fun Kentucky has a

0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:49.640
<v Speaker 2>chance to have a really good record starting February, which

0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:53.400
<v Speaker 2>is awesome, but they better be careful because if their

0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:57.120
<v Speaker 2>record's not good, it's like the Reds this year. The

0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:59.640
<v Speaker 2>back end is brutal. You don't want to limp into

0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:01.920
<v Speaker 2>that back you know you don't. Uh eight five nine

0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:05.080
<v Speaker 2>twenty two eighty seven. The text machine is seven seven

0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:07.080
<v Speaker 2>two seven seven four five two five four. We will

0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:09.680
<v Speaker 2>take a break. Take your calls. Khalil Whitney comes in

0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:11.760
<v Speaker 2>at eleven thirty. I'm excited about that. I think he's

0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:14.000
<v Speaker 2>ever been on here? Has he he was on last

0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:15.720
<v Speaker 2>summer when you were gone, Well, he hasn't been on

0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:18.120
<v Speaker 2>here with me, so I'm excited to talk to him.

0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:22.400
<v Speaker 2>We'll be right back to Cassel Welker Back Teckie Sports Radio. Uh,

0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:24.720
<v Speaker 2>you did read a book. People remind me I had

0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:27.680
<v Speaker 2>you read the plot The Plumber that it was really good.

0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:30.280
<v Speaker 4>You really enjoyed, really enjoyed it. I couldn't quit reading it.

0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:32.240
<v Speaker 3>And now there's a that the sequels out and it's

0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:32.880
<v Speaker 3>called the Sequel.

0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:35.120
<v Speaker 4>That's why I asked you said, what's it called the sequel?

0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:35.760
<v Speaker 4>The sequel?

0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:38.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to recommend another book to you. You think you

0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:40.840
<v Speaker 2>could read a book in the month of August if

0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:43.880
<v Speaker 2>I gave you the whole month. Yeah, okay, I'm going

0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:45.200
<v Speaker 2>to bring you a book tomorrow. I don't know what.

0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:46.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna have to think about it because you know,

0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:48.520
<v Speaker 2>it has to be designed for your brain.

0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:50.200
<v Speaker 4>Right, You did a good job on the plot, because

0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:51.840
<v Speaker 4>that was the plot was good. Yeah.

0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:54.560
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I've recommended that to a lot of people.

0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:57.320
<v Speaker 4>I've I read Breaking Cardinal Rules.

0:15:57.400 --> 0:16:00.920
<v Speaker 2>That's good when I have that on my desk, Htina, Huh.

0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:02.960
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, she signed it for you, didn't she?

0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:06.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, did she? I think I think I

0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:08.640
<v Speaker 2>got her to sign it for you. Yeah, so you

0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:10.840
<v Speaker 2>know big time. Yeah, I have a couple of autographs,

0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:11.520
<v Speaker 2>you said.

0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:13.080
<v Speaker 3>Richie Farmer is a big John Grisham fan.

0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:15.600
<v Speaker 5>Richie Chim's in a lot lower listener, and he's letting

0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:18.320
<v Speaker 5>me know other Grisham readings I should get into.

0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:19.880
<v Speaker 2>Before I go to the phones. That's one thing I

0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:23.840
<v Speaker 2>forgot to tell you all. So last week, you know,

0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:25.840
<v Speaker 2>I was, I was at ESPN. I had to drive

0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:28.680
<v Speaker 2>back to New York City. Okay, that's like a two

0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:31.840
<v Speaker 2>hour drive, but if the traffic's bad, it can be

0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:34.120
<v Speaker 2>three three and a half hours, like, it can be

0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:37.840
<v Speaker 2>really bad. So I was thinking to myself, Okay, I

0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:40.160
<v Speaker 2>don't want to drive into the city during rush hour,

0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:44.240
<v Speaker 2>so I'm going to stop and eat somewhere outside of

0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:46.640
<v Speaker 2>the city. Now, you and I, Drew, we watch Your

0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:50.480
<v Speaker 2>Friends and Neighbors, right, of course, John haml It's set

0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:53.680
<v Speaker 2>in Westchester County, and I was like, you know what,

0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:56.640
<v Speaker 2>I want to go see where John Hamm and James

0:16:56.640 --> 0:17:00.320
<v Speaker 2>Marsen are breaking into these houses? Right, and it's supposed

0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:01.920
<v Speaker 2>to be like one of the richest places in America.

0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:05.120
<v Speaker 2>But I didn't want to eat at a Foo food plays,

0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:10.399
<v Speaker 2>so I look up Peruvian restaurant. Okay, So my point

0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:14.520
<v Speaker 2>is I'm in a Peruvian restaurant in White Plains, New York.

0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:15.760
<v Speaker 3>Walk in.

0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:19.920
<v Speaker 2>There's only one other person there. I look, he's looking

0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:22.000
<v Speaker 2>at his phone and I can see over his shoulder

0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:27.080
<v Speaker 2>he's on Trilly Donovan's Twitter. Oh wow, follows ball. So

0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:29.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, this is a ball follower. This guy likes

0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:33.879
<v Speaker 2>college basketball. But it's a little weird that I saw

0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:37.200
<v Speaker 2>who he was looking at on Twitter. Then I come

0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:39.840
<v Speaker 2>around to the front. He's wearing a Saint John's Basketball

0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:42.960
<v Speaker 2>T shirt. So I'm like, all right, I gotta talk

0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:47.280
<v Speaker 2>to you. I'm like, I don't mean to be interrupt,

0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:50.320
<v Speaker 2>but I could see you were looking at Trilly Donovan's

0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Twitter account, and he was like, yeah, you're a college

0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:53.720
<v Speaker 2>basketball fan.

0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:55.879
<v Speaker 3>I said yeah, I go what do you do?

0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:58.120
<v Speaker 2>And he goes, I'm the director of analytics at Saint

0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:02.760
<v Speaker 2>John's Basketball. Wow, no kidding, he's the director of analytics.

0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:06.920
<v Speaker 2>Then we look, he follows all of us. He knows

0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:11.000
<v Speaker 2>who we are. We talked about Rick et cetera. I

0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:13.560
<v Speaker 2>set with him for like an hour in this proving

0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:20.359
<v Speaker 2>restaurant and just talked college basketball analytics. Fascinating, Like he

0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:23.919
<v Speaker 2>told me the stuff he has come up with, like

0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:28.320
<v Speaker 2>the analytics he's come up with and we started talking

0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:34.600
<v Speaker 2>and then Kentucky came up. Okay and I said, wow, okay,

0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:35.840
<v Speaker 2>he goes, I gotta ask you a question.

0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:36.359
<v Speaker 3>He looks at me.

0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:39.080
<v Speaker 2>He said, you know, we played you last year, and

0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:41.280
<v Speaker 2>he said, so I had to study your team because

0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:44.920
<v Speaker 2>we were we were playing you. Hopefully he wouldn't mind

0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:50.680
<v Speaker 2>me saying this. Actually, it's just it's just Drew. I'm

0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:53.879
<v Speaker 2>telling story. As you get into it, it's very specific.

0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:55.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean like it's but.

0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:58.480
<v Speaker 2>Then another person walking into the there was somebody completely

0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:01.720
<v Speaker 2>different conversation. But he said to me, he goes, when

0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:05.000
<v Speaker 2>I studied your team, he was like, we came into

0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:07.199
<v Speaker 2>it hearing what it was such an analytical team and

0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:14.320
<v Speaker 2>he was like, but it really wasn't and I went, well, yeah.

0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:17.240
<v Speaker 2>He said that was a really oddly put together team.

0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:19.280
<v Speaker 2>And he said, you know, what do you think Mark

0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:22.520
<v Speaker 2>Pope was thinking? And I said, I don't know, but

0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:25.080
<v Speaker 2>it was interesting because it confirmed and he said, of

0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:27.000
<v Speaker 2>course you all played. The one good game you played

0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:30.000
<v Speaker 2>that year was second half. But it was interesting to

0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:31.680
<v Speaker 2>hear him say that. And I asked him what he

0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:33.359
<v Speaker 2>thought of this year's team, and he said he hadn't

0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:35.080
<v Speaker 2>looked at it yet, so he doesn't know did you

0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:37.000
<v Speaker 2>get in any Rick stories or anything. We talked a

0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:40.320
<v Speaker 2>little Rick. He really liked. He love what a random.

0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:43.200
<v Speaker 2>So we sat in the Peruvian restaurant in White Plains,

0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:46.600
<v Speaker 2>New York, talking ball. Me and the Saint John's director

0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:49.560
<v Speaker 2>of analytics. We talked a lot about Kenny Klin because

0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:51.359
<v Speaker 2>he had just been He had just gone to the

0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:54.320
<v Speaker 2>funeral in Louisville, so we talked a lot about him.

0:19:54.359 --> 0:19:56.199
<v Speaker 4>But anyway, had be interested to hear somebody from the

0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:58.239
<v Speaker 4>other side talk about the analytics of art.

0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:00.600
<v Speaker 2>The team dorky side of me was listening to him

0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:06.080
<v Speaker 2>talk about like the stats he's He said, he has

0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:11.440
<v Speaker 2>stats he's created the only Saint John's uses and he said,

0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:14.840
<v Speaker 2>we license them to a couple of other teams, and

0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:16.720
<v Speaker 2>it was interesting he gave He told he sort of

0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:18.200
<v Speaker 2>explained one of them. Because you want to move to

0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:19.160
<v Speaker 2>license and work for us.

0:20:19.160 --> 0:20:22.399
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know, he wouldn't be The worst thing was.

0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:24.560
<v Speaker 2>He also doing your Friends and Neighbors Tour.

0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:24.919
<v Speaker 7>No, he.

0:20:26.480 --> 0:20:26.960
<v Speaker 3>Lives there.

0:20:27.119 --> 0:20:30.560
<v Speaker 2>He was a former like Hedge fun guy that retired

0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:33.280
<v Speaker 2>and just decided rather than just live a life of luxury,

0:20:33.280 --> 0:20:37.359
<v Speaker 2>he would go work at Saint John's because he met

0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:39.959
<v Speaker 2>Rictino at a golf course, told him what he did,

0:20:40.040 --> 0:20:41.280
<v Speaker 2>and Rick just hired him.

0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:43.320
<v Speaker 4>Analytics guy.

0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:46.960
<v Speaker 3>Just kind of an interesting story, Jacob, Go ahead, Jacob.

0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:51.879
<v Speaker 7>Hi, good morning for another morning random. But I just

0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:55.439
<v Speaker 7>want to call to comment on yesterday's discussion of the

0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:58.440
<v Speaker 7>most reliable McDonald Machines ACA.

0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:02.120
<v Speaker 3>So by the way we put we put that clip up.

0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:07.080
<v Speaker 2>It went mega viral on on TikTok, and there are

0:21:07.119 --> 0:21:10.280
<v Speaker 2>people in Ashland who claim it's not as reliable as

0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:13.520
<v Speaker 2>they as they say, what do you say being in Ashland.

0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:17.280
<v Speaker 7>I don't live in Nashville. I grew up there, my

0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:19.800
<v Speaker 7>parents still live there. I would say I've actually never

0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:23.760
<v Speaker 7>had an issue with the McDonald's ice cream machines, but

0:21:23.800 --> 0:21:26.880
<v Speaker 7>I do have one three theory for why they may

0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:30.320
<v Speaker 7>be better than in other parts of the country. Nearly

0:21:30.400 --> 0:21:33.199
<v Speaker 7>all the McDonald's in the area are owned by the

0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:36.880
<v Speaker 7>scene individual who started like started out the started about

0:21:36.880 --> 0:21:39.720
<v Speaker 7>fifty years ago with one location and now owns like

0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:44.960
<v Speaker 7>sixteen different places, sixteen to Bert McDonald's locations. But he's

0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:48.399
<v Speaker 7>still he retorted about parents, like they've runed it. They

0:21:48.440 --> 0:21:54.360
<v Speaker 7>go there for breakfast, so he's still okay, I'm telling

0:21:54.359 --> 0:21:55.040
<v Speaker 7>you no.

0:21:55.160 --> 0:21:57.120
<v Speaker 3>He still takes it seriously in cares.

0:21:57.800 --> 0:22:00.760
<v Speaker 7>He does, like he stops by, like like rangle me,

0:22:00.800 --> 0:22:03.560
<v Speaker 7>stop by to make sure that everythink's clean, and he'll

0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:06.600
<v Speaker 7>like check with the customers who are in the store,

0:22:07.000 --> 0:22:09.280
<v Speaker 7>like if they're having any good experience, these are any issues.

0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:11.680
<v Speaker 7>I would also argue that as a part of this,

0:22:12.560 --> 0:22:15.320
<v Speaker 7>the Action Man area probably has the cleanest McDonald's in

0:22:15.400 --> 0:22:15.800
<v Speaker 7>the country.

0:22:15.880 --> 0:22:18.399
<v Speaker 3>Then all right, well I appreciate the call. So there

0:22:18.440 --> 0:22:18.600
<v Speaker 3>you go.

0:22:18.840 --> 0:22:22.439
<v Speaker 2>If people who care about their their workplace end up

0:22:22.480 --> 0:22:24.640
<v Speaker 2>having working ice ice cream machines.

0:22:24.560 --> 0:22:26.440
<v Speaker 5>I like there's a few fast food places that will

0:22:26.440 --> 0:22:29.399
<v Speaker 5>still have like like an older gentleman leaned over cleaning

0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:31.520
<v Speaker 5>all the tables and greeting you. It's few and far between.

0:22:31.560 --> 0:22:32.399
<v Speaker 5>I think Chick fil a might.

0:22:32.880 --> 0:22:34.479
<v Speaker 2>Old people still do the coffee thing.

0:22:34.560 --> 0:22:38.000
<v Speaker 3>And McDonalds, Oh yeah, definitely. Oh yes, And when you

0:22:38.119 --> 0:22:39.120
<v Speaker 3>go indoors.

0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:40.479
<v Speaker 4>There's like four or five guys just sitting there.

0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:42.080
<v Speaker 2>But that's still a thing. I mean, that was the

0:22:42.160 --> 0:22:44.159
<v Speaker 2>thing for a long time. Yes, I can't wait to

0:22:44.200 --> 0:22:45.240
<v Speaker 2>do that. I'm so excited.

0:22:45.520 --> 0:22:46.119
<v Speaker 3>Are you gonna do that?

0:22:46.200 --> 0:22:48.639
<v Speaker 2>Guy? Oh every morning just talking trash about whatever's going

0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:49.160
<v Speaker 2>on in the world.

0:22:50.480 --> 0:22:52.359
<v Speaker 3>I like that small towns are the best for that.

0:22:52.480 --> 0:22:54.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, I bet Somerset will have it on Friday.

0:22:55.040 --> 0:22:57.640
<v Speaker 2>We'll take a break if I'm nine two, eight eighty seven.

0:22:57.640 --> 0:22:58.280
<v Speaker 3>It's KSR.

0:22:59.200 --> 0:23:02.080
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back, take you sports Radio. Can we be honest

0:23:02.119 --> 0:23:06.440
<v Speaker 2>here for a second, Drew, Yes, crust Tree, you don't

0:23:06.440 --> 0:23:07.400
<v Speaker 2>think we're gonna be very good?

0:23:08.720 --> 0:23:10.520
<v Speaker 3>I mean, like I think we need to.

0:23:13.720 --> 0:23:14.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't run from it.

0:23:14.720 --> 0:23:16.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't. I don't know how much. You just don't

0:23:16.800 --> 0:23:17.880
<v Speaker 3>think we're gonna be very good.

0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:20.240
<v Speaker 2>I love the starting five.

0:23:20.560 --> 0:23:24.080
<v Speaker 5>I'm very worried about everything behind that, like Cam Williams

0:23:24.119 --> 0:23:26.760
<v Speaker 5>had another surgery and still not practicing when he's supposed

0:23:26.760 --> 0:23:27.480
<v Speaker 5>to make a big jump.

0:23:27.800 --> 0:23:32.160
<v Speaker 3>But you are genuinely like you do you think there's

0:23:32.200 --> 0:23:34.400
<v Speaker 3>a world we have the season we had last year again?

0:23:34.880 --> 0:23:37.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, definitely. I don't think we're gonna stink or anything.

0:23:37.200 --> 0:23:39.520
<v Speaker 5>But I don't think we're gonna reach the standard of

0:23:39.560 --> 0:23:42.320
<v Speaker 5>Kentucky basketball. I'd love to be wrong. I mean, I'm

0:23:42.359 --> 0:23:43.159
<v Speaker 5>gonna be looking for him.

0:23:43.440 --> 0:23:46.680
<v Speaker 3>Let's just assume you want to be you want to

0:23:46.720 --> 0:23:47.040
<v Speaker 3>be wrong.

0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:52.200
<v Speaker 2>But it's a really tough spot when you are doing

0:23:52.280 --> 0:23:55.040
<v Speaker 2>a show like this because people Ryan wants you to

0:23:55.160 --> 0:23:58.520
<v Speaker 2>be excited and they want you to be optimistic. And

0:23:58.680 --> 0:24:01.480
<v Speaker 2>for the most part, I haven't seen these guys play,

0:24:01.560 --> 0:24:03.640
<v Speaker 2>so I'm remaining optimistic.

0:24:04.880 --> 0:24:07.840
<v Speaker 3>But I can tell I know Drew well enough to

0:24:08.040 --> 0:24:08.800
<v Speaker 3>this is Drew.

0:24:10.680 --> 0:24:11.160
<v Speaker 2>This is Drew.

0:24:11.280 --> 0:24:15.840
<v Speaker 5>You just you are very skeptical. Again one through five

0:24:15.920 --> 0:24:17.960
<v Speaker 5>of love. I love Wilkins. I think Wilkins is gonna

0:24:17.960 --> 0:24:20.280
<v Speaker 5>be awesome. Obviously, Melan's Melan. I think we're gonna get

0:24:20.280 --> 0:24:22.720
<v Speaker 5>the big jump from Malachi. I just went out of

0:24:22.720 --> 0:24:25.000
<v Speaker 5>look at that bench. That's where I get concerned. Like

0:24:25.160 --> 0:24:27.760
<v Speaker 5>back court depth right now behind Malachi.

0:24:27.520 --> 0:24:28.639
<v Speaker 3>Is worries me.

0:24:28.800 --> 0:24:32.800
<v Speaker 2>We have nothing behind Malachai. Obviously Frank, but he's not playing.

0:24:32.920 --> 0:24:35.280
<v Speaker 2>He's never played a full season. Like, I just worry

0:24:35.320 --> 0:24:37.560
<v Speaker 2>about the health of these guys that are gonna need

0:24:37.560 --> 0:24:39.200
<v Speaker 2>to step up and play big girls. I have no

0:24:39.320 --> 0:24:41.840
<v Speaker 2>complaints honestly about one through five. I mean, you think

0:24:41.960 --> 0:24:45.280
<v Speaker 2>fans are okay having the honest conversation that we might

0:24:45.359 --> 0:24:47.840
<v Speaker 2>not be good, or do you think they just want

0:24:48.440 --> 0:24:49.400
<v Speaker 2>to assume we're good.

0:24:49.760 --> 0:24:51.399
<v Speaker 5>I want to assume there's a lot of hoping with

0:24:51.480 --> 0:24:53.480
<v Speaker 5>this team. I've said that before. I mean, if Cam

0:24:53.520 --> 0:24:55.960
<v Speaker 5>Williams still makes a jump after your surgery, that's gonna

0:24:55.960 --> 0:24:57.960
<v Speaker 5>be huge year.

0:24:58.000 --> 0:25:00.239
<v Speaker 2>That'll be huge. Is it fair to say that by

0:25:00.359 --> 0:25:07.080
<v Speaker 2>what we're hearing from practice reports, you can't put Brayden

0:25:07.160 --> 0:25:07.800
<v Speaker 2>Hawthorne in.

0:25:07.880 --> 0:25:11.080
<v Speaker 5>The He's gonna be a big time contributor. It seems

0:25:11.119 --> 0:25:12.920
<v Speaker 5>that way. I never really thought that to be good.

0:25:12.920 --> 0:25:16.879
<v Speaker 5>I didn't either, But like you know, when you hear

0:25:16.880 --> 0:25:21.480
<v Speaker 5>from the practice reports, people they're given the scal slow down,

0:25:22.320 --> 0:25:25.040
<v Speaker 5>and you Cam Williams to have a good I mean,

0:25:25.119 --> 0:25:27.280
<v Speaker 5>that's that's what people say. Now again, they could be wrong.

0:25:28.240 --> 0:25:29.959
<v Speaker 4>So then what about the report we heard last year

0:25:29.960 --> 0:25:31.560
<v Speaker 4>that he was often the best player in practice.

0:25:31.560 --> 0:25:33.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't. I didn't hear those reports. You might, I

0:25:33.760 --> 0:25:36.200
<v Speaker 2>don't know who you were talking to. They may have

0:25:36.280 --> 0:25:39.000
<v Speaker 2>been the same people saying Lamar Wilkerson was coming here.

0:25:39.520 --> 0:25:44.639
<v Speaker 2>But like, I don't, I never heard those reports, did you. Well, yeah, okay,

0:25:45.280 --> 0:25:47.080
<v Speaker 2>Now I will say not to be a negative nancy

0:25:47.119 --> 0:25:49.399
<v Speaker 2>of Frank plays the whole year. They'll be fine there.

0:25:49.440 --> 0:25:51.480
<v Speaker 2>Frank's good. I like Frank a lot. It's just when

0:25:51.680 --> 0:25:54.399
<v Speaker 2>he still hasn't practiced this summer and in his career

0:25:54.440 --> 0:25:56.560
<v Speaker 2>has never played a full season, so that concerns me.

0:25:56.720 --> 0:25:59.560
<v Speaker 2>Just stuff like that, really, really the injury situation. I

0:25:59.640 --> 0:26:02.320
<v Speaker 2>know it's only July, but at some point these guys

0:26:02.400 --> 0:26:04.080
<v Speaker 2>need to get on the court and start ramping up

0:26:04.080 --> 0:26:04.520
<v Speaker 2>for the season.

0:26:04.880 --> 0:26:10.000
<v Speaker 3>Madison, go ahead, Madison, how we doing? I'm good?

0:26:12.040 --> 0:26:12.560
<v Speaker 7>One thing?

0:26:13.760 --> 0:26:17.960
<v Speaker 8>Question number one is I know we have not gotten

0:26:18.760 --> 0:26:23.160
<v Speaker 8>a spread out for the Youngstown State game on September fifth.

0:26:23.960 --> 0:26:26.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't have that yet, probably won't.

0:26:26.320 --> 0:26:27.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if we will have it because they

0:26:27.800 --> 0:26:31.440
<v Speaker 2>usually don't do spreads against teams in the in the

0:26:31.520 --> 0:26:32.280
<v Speaker 2>division lower.

0:26:33.840 --> 0:26:39.000
<v Speaker 8>And then two, h what are y'alls? What game?

0:26:39.359 --> 0:26:39.520
<v Speaker 9>Uh?

0:26:40.240 --> 0:26:44.520
<v Speaker 8>What's uh? What other game on the non conference schedule

0:26:44.600 --> 0:26:48.040
<v Speaker 8>do you think will be announced? Because I've read it

0:26:48.240 --> 0:26:48.920
<v Speaker 8>was one more game.

0:26:49.040 --> 0:26:49.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:26:49.640 --> 0:26:51.679
<v Speaker 2>I mean you, we appreciate call. We were looking at

0:26:51.720 --> 0:26:54.480
<v Speaker 2>the calendar. It's got to be December fifth, because they

0:26:54.480 --> 0:26:57.480
<v Speaker 2>don't have a game yet. That date's open. It's open now.

0:26:57.560 --> 0:27:01.280
<v Speaker 2>That's also the SEC championship and uh in football, and

0:27:01.359 --> 0:27:03.920
<v Speaker 2>Drew always hates when we schedule a game like that. Yeah,

0:27:04.680 --> 0:27:06.560
<v Speaker 2>but I think we're gonna play on December fifth. I

0:27:06.640 --> 0:27:09.159
<v Speaker 2>assume My guess is they're trying to book a marquee

0:27:09.200 --> 0:27:10.480
<v Speaker 2>opponent on December fifth.

0:27:10.520 --> 0:27:11.640
<v Speaker 3>They just haven't done it yet.

0:27:11.720 --> 0:27:14.200
<v Speaker 4>They're out looking to see what's the best name, sexiest

0:27:14.280 --> 0:27:15.720
<v Speaker 4>name we could get to bring into upper end of

0:27:15.760 --> 0:27:16.000
<v Speaker 4>that day.

0:27:16.080 --> 0:27:18.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, oh, you think it's for rub I think it's

0:27:18.400 --> 0:27:19.680
<v Speaker 3>for rub Well. That would be good.

0:27:19.840 --> 0:27:22.040
<v Speaker 2>That would change the whole outlook of the not of

0:27:22.200 --> 0:27:24.240
<v Speaker 2>the for the season ticket holder. If you got a

0:27:24.280 --> 0:27:25.600
<v Speaker 2>big game on December.

0:27:25.320 --> 0:27:28.640
<v Speaker 4>Fifth, I'm hopeful that's the thought process. And you're talking

0:27:28.720 --> 0:27:30.840
<v Speaker 4>like you know so, No, I don't, honestly, I don't, Okay,

0:27:31.040 --> 0:27:33.840
<v Speaker 4>all right, Yeah, I think they won a good team

0:27:33.920 --> 0:27:36.520
<v Speaker 4>on December fifth. If you look at Kentucky historically in

0:27:36.520 --> 0:27:39.320
<v Speaker 4>the last five years, they've tried to play six good

0:27:39.400 --> 0:27:43.920
<v Speaker 4>teams in the non conference, and right now they have Kansas,

0:27:44.080 --> 0:27:46.720
<v Speaker 4>North Carolina, Indiana, Louisville, and Virginia.

0:27:46.840 --> 0:27:50.040
<v Speaker 3>That's five. So if you look at it historically there

0:27:50.480 --> 0:27:51.960
<v Speaker 3>they usually try to get one more.

0:27:52.720 --> 0:27:54.080
<v Speaker 4>It's got to be tough this time of year. All

0:27:54.080 --> 0:27:55.480
<v Speaker 4>the other schedules are probably there.

0:27:55.480 --> 0:27:57.840
<v Speaker 2>But well, I mean Arkansas like that, Cal said, we

0:27:57.960 --> 0:27:59.600
<v Speaker 2>still have a gamer too. I think there are teams

0:27:59.640 --> 0:28:02.239
<v Speaker 2>that have now. I don't know how many there are.

0:28:02.320 --> 0:28:04.440
<v Speaker 2>I just saw, you know, the Duke Michigan game just

0:28:04.520 --> 0:28:08.120
<v Speaker 2>got canceled, so maybe maybe you get to play Michigan

0:28:08.240 --> 0:28:11.480
<v Speaker 2>bring them in, right, I don't know, Rob needs a game.

0:28:11.800 --> 0:28:13.000
<v Speaker 2>As we said to start the show.

0:28:14.920 --> 0:28:17.040
<v Speaker 5>Usually, I think Ryan's a little harsh on the home schedule,

0:28:17.080 --> 0:28:19.040
<v Speaker 5>but to only have Louisville and Tennessee all the way

0:28:19.080 --> 0:28:21.600
<v Speaker 5>through almost starting in February as a problem.

0:28:21.400 --> 0:28:23.200
<v Speaker 2>I'd be surprised if they don't get a good team

0:28:23.240 --> 0:28:26.120
<v Speaker 2>in that game, because again, they kind of have a thing.

0:28:26.720 --> 0:28:29.280
<v Speaker 2>They've been doing this in the sixth They want to

0:28:29.320 --> 0:28:32.000
<v Speaker 2>play six good non conference games. Right now we have five,

0:28:32.400 --> 0:28:34.919
<v Speaker 2>so I think they need one more. Charlie, go ahead, Charlie.

0:28:37.320 --> 0:28:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Hey Matt, how you doing doing good?

0:28:41.480 --> 0:28:44.520
<v Speaker 6>So first of all, I went to a mc tribe

0:28:44.560 --> 0:28:47.880
<v Speaker 6>the other day and it's probably one of the best

0:28:48.760 --> 0:28:52.440
<v Speaker 6>McDonald's I've had in a long time. So kill I'm

0:28:52.560 --> 0:28:54.240
<v Speaker 6>mctripe had I think they're coming back?

0:28:55.040 --> 0:28:59.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay maybe and I'm not saying it was me, could

0:28:59.480 --> 0:29:03.240
<v Speaker 2>have been you or Ryan or whatever. Maybe that was

0:29:03.280 --> 0:29:06.400
<v Speaker 2>the incentive to fit up a little bit.

0:29:08.240 --> 0:29:10.640
<v Speaker 6>Oh yes, but one more thing. I went to shape

0:29:10.680 --> 0:29:15.080
<v Speaker 6>shack the other day and they have these screens everywhere

0:29:15.160 --> 0:29:18.400
<v Speaker 6>now that you order yourself, and it takes so much

0:29:18.480 --> 0:29:21.560
<v Speaker 6>longer than just telling your order. And I finished doing

0:29:21.640 --> 0:29:24.560
<v Speaker 6>my order and it goes, would you like to tip

0:29:24.600 --> 0:29:27.480
<v Speaker 6>a team member? Who am I tipping me? I just

0:29:27.560 --> 0:29:28.440
<v Speaker 6>did the whole job.

0:29:28.960 --> 0:29:31.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, we got maybe they would say, the people then

0:29:31.760 --> 0:29:36.240
<v Speaker 2>the people that make the We gotta no, no, we gotta.

0:29:35.960 --> 0:29:38.960
<v Speaker 6>Stop in at rupp Arena. It's like I spend thirty

0:29:39.000 --> 0:29:41.760
<v Speaker 6>dollars for two beers and they want to make me

0:29:41.800 --> 0:29:44.560
<v Speaker 6>pay a twenty percent tip, and they'll give you a

0:29:44.640 --> 0:29:48.160
<v Speaker 6>dirty look if you put zero. I would rather have

0:29:48.840 --> 0:29:51.840
<v Speaker 6>no more tips on screens and keep the twelve dollars beers.

0:29:51.960 --> 0:29:52.760
<v Speaker 3>Let me ask you a question.

0:29:52.960 --> 0:29:55.920
<v Speaker 2>Are you willing to Are you willing to not tip

0:29:56.080 --> 0:29:57.480
<v Speaker 2>but raise the minimum wag?

0:29:59.480 --> 0:29:59.680
<v Speaker 8>Yes?

0:30:00.360 --> 0:30:05.360
<v Speaker 6>Okay, I love dipping waiters and bartenders, But we got

0:30:05.480 --> 0:30:06.520
<v Speaker 6>this screen thing.

0:30:06.640 --> 0:30:09.920
<v Speaker 2>Man appreciate the call, all right? That sounds like Shannon.

0:30:10.080 --> 0:30:12.960
<v Speaker 2>He's here for Shannon today. There's a coffee place I

0:30:13.080 --> 0:30:14.600
<v Speaker 2>go to. I won't name it, but they have a

0:30:14.600 --> 0:30:16.200
<v Speaker 2>really good coffee, but it's very expensive. It's like a

0:30:16.320 --> 0:30:18.960
<v Speaker 2>nine dollars drink and then they turn it around it's like,

0:30:19.040 --> 0:30:20.959
<v Speaker 2>do you want to tip? But then they just make

0:30:21.000 --> 0:30:23.720
<v Speaker 2>the most awkward eye contact. Please don't look at me.

0:30:23.840 --> 0:30:26.000
<v Speaker 2>You get it because they look right at you, and

0:30:26.160 --> 0:30:30.560
<v Speaker 2>it feels like, you know, they'll carry I like the ones.

0:30:30.720 --> 0:30:32.640
<v Speaker 2>I will tip more if they look away.

0:30:33.800 --> 0:30:34.440
<v Speaker 3>No, I'm serious.

0:30:34.480 --> 0:30:37.400
<v Speaker 2>If they flip it around and then they look away

0:30:37.560 --> 0:30:41.000
<v Speaker 2>and give me some privacy, I will reward them. If

0:30:41.040 --> 0:30:43.400
<v Speaker 2>they stare me directly in the eye, then I'm like.

0:30:43.760 --> 0:30:46.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, they give you their little calculator looking thing and

0:30:46.160 --> 0:30:47.600
<v Speaker 4>just kind of stare at you while you're trying to

0:30:47.640 --> 0:30:48.680
<v Speaker 4>punch in a tip, they.

0:30:48.600 --> 0:30:51.080
<v Speaker 5>Give like puppy dog guys, and it's like, I just

0:30:51.160 --> 0:30:53.440
<v Speaker 5>watched you pour this coffee out of a When we

0:30:53.760 --> 0:30:56.920
<v Speaker 5>introduced the system at ks bar where we handed you

0:30:57.040 --> 0:30:59.680
<v Speaker 5>the thing, yes, we only did that in the last year.

0:31:00.840 --> 0:31:04.760
<v Speaker 2>The servers told me that in their experience that handing

0:31:04.880 --> 0:31:10.880
<v Speaker 2>someone a machine ended up giving them a slightly less money.

0:31:11.200 --> 0:31:15.760
<v Speaker 2>They basically said, it keeps people from stiffing you, but

0:31:15.880 --> 0:31:19.120
<v Speaker 2>they usually don't go as high as sometimes, so you

0:31:19.240 --> 0:31:21.760
<v Speaker 2>don't get the really low tips, but then you don't

0:31:21.800 --> 0:31:24.600
<v Speaker 2>get the really high tips. Does that make sense? So

0:31:24.680 --> 0:31:28.280
<v Speaker 2>when it says like eighteen twenty twenty two, no one

0:31:28.400 --> 0:31:31.520
<v Speaker 2>gives more than twenty two, whereas when you hand do

0:31:31.640 --> 0:31:35.680
<v Speaker 2>it sometimes people will be really generous give five or thirty.

0:31:37.000 --> 0:31:38.920
<v Speaker 2>But then you also don't get the people who do

0:31:39.160 --> 0:31:42.840
<v Speaker 2>special I'm only giving you ten. So they basically said

0:31:42.880 --> 0:31:45.360
<v Speaker 2>it tends to even it out. So some of the

0:31:45.480 --> 0:31:48.000
<v Speaker 2>servers liked it, but the ones who were really good

0:31:48.120 --> 0:31:50.360
<v Speaker 2>and used to get big tips, they didn't like it

0:31:50.440 --> 0:31:52.760
<v Speaker 2>because they thought made people less likely to give big

0:31:52.840 --> 0:31:53.440
<v Speaker 2>tiap on it.

0:31:53.720 --> 0:31:56.000
<v Speaker 5>It's my other big complaint. And as a former server

0:31:56.160 --> 0:31:58.680
<v Speaker 5>over tip, I think most former servers tip really well.

0:31:58.720 --> 0:32:00.959
<v Speaker 5>I'd say ninety nine percent of them. But I've been

0:32:01.000 --> 0:32:02.320
<v Speaker 5>to places now where it's like do you want to

0:32:02.320 --> 0:32:04.160
<v Speaker 5>tip twenty two, twenty five or twenty eight?

0:32:04.480 --> 0:32:05.640
<v Speaker 3>That was like, my goods.

0:32:05.640 --> 0:32:08.000
<v Speaker 2>When the minimum is twenty two, that's I think a

0:32:08.040 --> 0:32:13.320
<v Speaker 2>little that's wrong. Let's go to Amanda. Go ahead, Amanda, Hi.

0:32:13.280 --> 0:32:15.760
<v Speaker 9>Im in a yeah, I'm Amanda.

0:32:15.880 --> 0:32:17.160
<v Speaker 6>Sorry, it's okay.

0:32:18.040 --> 0:32:19.280
<v Speaker 2>How are you good?

0:32:19.760 --> 0:32:22.000
<v Speaker 9>I'm from the Red Mile. I actually worked for the

0:32:22.080 --> 0:32:26.120
<v Speaker 9>Red Mile. I heard your segment yesterday, so calling in

0:32:26.200 --> 0:32:28.440
<v Speaker 9>about that. But on the tip thing, I really do

0:32:28.640 --> 0:32:32.720
<v Speaker 9>think people tend to tip more if you are handwriting

0:32:32.800 --> 0:32:36.600
<v Speaker 9>it rather than doing an on a machine. I know

0:32:37.200 --> 0:32:39.880
<v Speaker 9>as a former server, I always try to tip as

0:32:39.960 --> 0:32:42.760
<v Speaker 9>much as possible. But we see the same thing at

0:32:42.800 --> 0:32:43.720
<v Speaker 9>Red Mile as well.

0:32:44.120 --> 0:32:45.600
<v Speaker 7>A lot of people can.

0:32:45.680 --> 0:32:49.920
<v Speaker 2>So it's or can we ride on one of the

0:32:50.440 --> 0:32:53.920
<v Speaker 2>cars like Ryan did with our nose up against the horses.

0:32:55.600 --> 0:32:57.400
<v Speaker 9>Yes, so we can actually do that.

0:32:57.520 --> 0:33:00.760
<v Speaker 7>We do that a lot for a lot the newcomers.

0:33:00.880 --> 0:33:02.920
<v Speaker 2>Some of our owners like to get in there.

0:33:03.680 --> 0:33:03.800
<v Speaker 8>Uh.

0:33:03.920 --> 0:33:07.120
<v Speaker 10>But we tried to make an experience for you know,

0:33:07.240 --> 0:33:07.719
<v Speaker 10>the guests.

0:33:08.200 --> 0:33:09.760
<v Speaker 6>But yeah, we definitely would love to get You.

0:33:11.320 --> 0:33:11.959
<v Speaker 9>Had Hannah.

0:33:12.880 --> 0:33:15.680
<v Speaker 10>We had Hannah hammelback out from w L e x

0:33:16.040 --> 0:33:19.080
<v Speaker 10>uh last week and had her out on the.

0:36:55.120 --> 0:36:57.640
<v Speaker 2>about because I think it's fair. Look, you you are

0:36:57.760 --> 0:37:01.279
<v Speaker 2>fighting for the entertainment dollar. Now, yes you are. You're

0:37:01.320 --> 0:37:03.680
<v Speaker 2>fighting for the entertainment dollar, and you've got to convince

0:37:03.800 --> 0:37:05.600
<v Speaker 2>people to spend They can spend it on a lot

0:37:05.640 --> 0:37:08.480
<v Speaker 2>of stuff. You got to convince them to spend it

0:37:08.560 --> 0:37:12.759
<v Speaker 2>on you. And those are eight games that it's gonna

0:37:12.760 --> 0:37:14.880
<v Speaker 2>be hard to convince people to see to spend them on.

0:37:15.719 --> 0:37:17.239
<v Speaker 4>And you're talking a lot of money than if you're

0:37:17.239 --> 0:37:18.719
<v Speaker 4>taking out a family of four. By the time you

0:37:18.840 --> 0:37:20.680
<v Speaker 4>park and get concessions, that's a lot of money to

0:37:20.760 --> 0:37:22.920

<v Speaker 5>Mormon and Hamilton was fine. But yeah, but it's like

0:38:25.520 --> 0:38:27.120
<v Speaker 5>there is a part of me that's like why just

0:38:27.200 --> 0:38:30.320
<v Speaker 5>say the word? But it's the talent, I know. But

0:38:30.520 --> 0:38:33.680
<v Speaker 5>like there's never been a conversation where I'm like walking

0:38:33.719 --> 0:38:39.359
<v Speaker 5>down the street Ryan, Hello, Ryan, do you do right?

0:38:41.239 --> 0:38:43.200
<v Speaker 2>Just say just say you don't need to wrap it

0:38:43.400 --> 0:38:47.759
<v Speaker 2>like just you know it was good before we didn't

0:38:47.760 --> 0:38:48.360
<v Speaker 2>get talk about this.

0:38:48.400 --> 0:38:51.000
<v Speaker 3>So Joe Exotic is now in prison and lexing.

0:38:50.800 --> 0:38:55.880
<v Speaker 2>Yes he is, and he's here right right the one

0:38:55.880 --> 0:38:58.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm down. How much prison time does he have left?

0:38:58.760 --> 0:39:00.759
<v Speaker 4>He's got a lot twenty he's not up to a

0:39:00.840 --> 0:39:01.880
<v Speaker 4>pro to like twenty thirty.

0:39:02.600 --> 0:39:04.000
<v Speaker 2>It's amazing with all.

0:39:03.960 --> 0:39:06.239
<v Speaker 5>The freaks that Trump has pardoned, that he hadn't gotten

0:39:06.280 --> 0:39:07.960
<v Speaker 5>to him yet. There was a time when people thought

0:39:08.000 --> 0:39:10.000
<v Speaker 5>he was gonna get it. He was, he was trying

0:39:10.040 --> 0:39:10.320
<v Speaker 5>to get it.

0:39:10.800 --> 0:39:15.600
<v Speaker 2>So can you have like could we have him on

0:39:15.680 --> 0:39:15.960
<v Speaker 2>the show?

0:39:16.040 --> 0:39:16.680
<v Speaker 3>How does it work?

0:39:16.719 --> 0:39:19.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't Ron mentioned having a connection already, so I

0:39:19.239 --> 0:39:21.799
<v Speaker 2>reached out. We have to be on his approved call list,

0:39:22.280 --> 0:39:24.960
<v Speaker 2>so he has to agree, correct, So how does one

0:39:25.040 --> 0:39:26.600
<v Speaker 2>get in touch with him? Because how are you going

0:39:26.680 --> 0:39:28.279
<v Speaker 2>to call him to see if he'll let you call him?

0:39:28.280 --> 0:39:29.080
<v Speaker 2>If you can't call him.

0:39:29.080 --> 0:39:30.640
<v Speaker 4>I'll reach back out to my guy out there. But

0:39:30.680 --> 0:39:31.960
<v Speaker 4>he was going to try to talk to Joe to

0:39:32.000 --> 0:39:33.800
<v Speaker 4>see if he would be interested in coming on the

0:39:33.840 --> 0:39:34.360
<v Speaker 4>show with us.

0:39:34.440 --> 0:39:37.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh, you have a Joe exotic prison connection. Yes, Ron,

0:39:37.880 --> 0:39:39.520
<v Speaker 2>is this someone else in prison?

0:39:39.719 --> 0:39:41.960
<v Speaker 5>No, he's a worker out there, all right, And we

0:39:42.000 --> 0:39:43.360
<v Speaker 5>could bake him a cake with a note in it

0:39:43.440 --> 0:39:44.239
<v Speaker 5>and slide it to him.

0:39:44.520 --> 0:39:47.719
<v Speaker 12>So if he approves, if you go, there's approved call list,

0:39:47.960 --> 0:39:52.480
<v Speaker 12>and then we could just have him on theoretically, yes,

0:39:52.680 --> 0:39:54.799
<v Speaker 12>what do you mean theoretically, Well, he has to.

0:39:56.280 --> 0:39:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Come to the call. Does the jail let you just

0:39:59.200 --> 0:40:01.040
<v Speaker 2>interview people live on the radio?

0:40:01.760 --> 0:40:03.800
<v Speaker 4>I think if you set it up the proper channels,

0:40:03.840 --> 0:40:04.440
<v Speaker 4>they will do.

0:40:04.520 --> 0:40:04.840
<v Speaker 2>You know what.

0:40:04.960 --> 0:40:07.920
<v Speaker 4>The proper channels are not too sure about this prison.

0:40:08.239 --> 0:40:11.919
<v Speaker 2>But I know like other prison interviews. Well, I haven't

0:40:12.120 --> 0:40:14.160
<v Speaker 2>know you, but that's your family I'm talking about.

0:40:14.200 --> 0:40:15.279
<v Speaker 3>To have them on the air.

0:40:15.719 --> 0:40:17.840
<v Speaker 2>I think it's the whole trick is they got to

0:40:17.880 --> 0:40:19.680
<v Speaker 2>be on this prove list and they like they had

0:40:19.800 --> 0:40:23.520
<v Speaker 2>that four Maybe we can we go there through the glass.

0:40:23.600 --> 0:40:25.320
<v Speaker 2>Can we do it through the glass like in like

0:40:25.400 --> 0:40:28.040
<v Speaker 2>in a Grisham nov I don't know that you can't

0:40:28.040 --> 0:40:29.680
<v Speaker 2>out there or not. I feel like he wants to

0:40:29.719 --> 0:40:32.360
<v Speaker 2>talk to us. I can't imagine he's gonna say no.

0:40:33.120 --> 0:40:33.840
<v Speaker 2>He feels like he.

0:40:35.440 --> 0:40:36.000
<v Speaker 3>Would love it.

0:40:36.160 --> 0:40:38.200
<v Speaker 5>He's still trying to get his Carol Basket message across

0:40:38.239 --> 0:40:38.720
<v Speaker 5>to the people.

0:40:39.360 --> 0:40:41.719
<v Speaker 2>But do you will you ask? Yeah, I'll do a

0:40:41.760 --> 0:40:43.400
<v Speaker 2>little more research on it. So you're gonna ask if

0:40:43.440 --> 0:40:45.279
<v Speaker 2>we can have him on the show, but specifically, could

0:40:45.360 --> 0:40:48.360
<v Speaker 2>we go and do it there? And then what is

0:40:48.440 --> 0:40:50.840
<v Speaker 2>the process we need? Because I can't imagine. They're just

0:40:50.960 --> 0:40:53.719
<v Speaker 2>like sure, like it's got to be I'm sure there's

0:40:53.760 --> 0:40:55.360
<v Speaker 2>something we got to go through through the Bureau of

0:40:55.400 --> 0:41:00.399
<v Speaker 2>Prisons or you know, strict Yeah, but but maybe they will.

0:41:02.040 --> 0:41:05.120
<v Speaker 2>Is this the prison out on Lee's Town Road? Yes, yes, okay.

0:41:05.800 --> 0:41:08.520
<v Speaker 2>I tried to work there one summer. Oh did you really? Yeah,

0:41:08.520 --> 0:41:10.280
<v Speaker 2>they had a job. I remember I was at Trancy.

0:41:10.360 --> 0:41:12.600
<v Speaker 2>They had a job opening. They were like, come be

0:41:12.719 --> 0:41:15.400
<v Speaker 2>a summer prison guard, which to me felt like a

0:41:15.560 --> 0:41:20.200
<v Speaker 2>really odd summer job. And myself and another guy were like,

0:41:21.160 --> 0:41:23.800
<v Speaker 2>we needed a job and this. I ended up working

0:41:23.840 --> 0:41:27.799
<v Speaker 2>at a dry cleaner, but I went and filled it out. Yeah,

0:41:28.120 --> 0:41:31.440
<v Speaker 2>I ended up starching people's jeans, but I could have

0:41:31.520 --> 0:41:33.400
<v Speaker 2>been a summer prison guard. I think you would have

0:41:33.400 --> 0:41:37.040
<v Speaker 2>been a good prison guard. I mean I don't know

0:41:37.120 --> 0:41:40.640
<v Speaker 2>how to hold a gun, so I would have been more,

0:41:40.760 --> 0:41:43.920
<v Speaker 2>hopefully a peacemaker. I think a lot of a I

0:41:44.000 --> 0:41:47.279
<v Speaker 2>just thought that was a weird job that you could be, Like, here,

0:41:47.320 --> 0:41:50.480
<v Speaker 2>come do it for two and a half months, trancy boy,

0:41:51.680 --> 0:41:55.239
<v Speaker 2>before you go off to law school. Here's your gun,

0:41:55.280 --> 0:41:57.520
<v Speaker 2>here's your taste. I filled out a whole test. I

0:41:57.600 --> 0:41:58.959
<v Speaker 2>mean I did the whole thing, and then they didn't

0:41:59.000 --> 0:42:03.640
<v Speaker 2>hire me. So I went to the cleaner. Shocking, But

0:42:04.040 --> 0:42:06.160
<v Speaker 2>will you try to make this happen? All right, we'll

0:42:06.200 --> 0:42:07.160
<v Speaker 2>take a break. Be right back.

0:42:07.200 --> 0:42:07.840
<v Speaker 3>It's ks R.
