Speaker 4: Mister basketball, you kind of Darius, I would say lived

41
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 4: the Kentucky kids dream?

42
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 5: Is that fair to say?

43
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 6: It was my dream for sure?

44
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 7: And definitely being able to play for the university, having

45
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 7: the moments that I had at the university growing up,

46
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 7: being a huge fan watching those teams, you know, compete,

47
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 7: win championships, play at an elite level. You know, That's

48
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 7: all I ever wanted to do. You know what I

49
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 7: mean is come to Kentucky, put on for my community,

50
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 7: my state, and have success here.

51
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 6: So that was definitely my dream.

52
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 4: I think if you're looking at the twenty years I've

53
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 4: been doing KSR, and you were to just say most

54
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 4: beloved players, like the people that people love the most,

55
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 4: there'd be a group. I mean, obviously like your John Waller,

56
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 4: Anthony Davis is in it. But then I think of

57
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 4: that of the group of people right there with them.

58
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 4: I always say, like Tyler Euless, and I think you're

59
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 4: in that group too, because of the Kentucky connections and.

60
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 5: The way you played it. Do you feel that love

61
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 5: that the fans have for you?

62
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 7: Definitely, definitely, And I feel like I'm a part of

63
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 7: the family. Like I grew up as a fan, I

64
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 7: had the same emotions and feelings that y'all had, you

65
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 7: know what I mean. So I can relate to everybody

66
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 7: who is extremely invested in the University. And I carried

67
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 7: a lot of pride when I played for the University

68
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 7: because of that, you know what I mean. I grew up,

69
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 7: like I said, watching uh Tayshaun Prince Patrick's Park.

70
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 5: That was you, that was your childhood.

71
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 7: I had a lot of them, watching Tony delt you

72
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 7: know what I mean, Watching all those guys, watching them compete. Uh,

73
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 7: it made me just fall in love with the program.

74
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 7: Uh there was a ton of swag, you know with

75
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 7: those guys. Those teams, they competed at a high level,

76
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 7: ton of talent, and they were always exciting to watch.

77
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 7: So that's what kind of made me fall in love

78
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 7: with the program.

79
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 5: So let's go.

80
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 4: I want to go through a little bit of your

81
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 4: career and then I want to talk about the current team.

82
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 4: You you came, we were saying this during the break,

83
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 4: came into Billy G Era. So you had a year

84
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 4: with Billy G. Give me what were your Billy G

85
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 4: thoughts Billy G.

86
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 7: Billy G was an interesting character. He was an interesting guy.

87
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 7: But I will say Billy G was good with x's

88
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 7: and o's. I think his approach and uh to with

89
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 7: the teams was kind of different, especially when dealing with

90
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 7: high talent guys. Some guys might have egos, feel a

91
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 7: certain way, So when you come in with a different approach,

92
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 7: there's an adjustment period, but a different approach.

93
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, like what he liked?

94
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure. And uh, you know,

95
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 7: the practices were extremely difficult.

96
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna lie.

97
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 7: We had boot camp, uh probably two three weeks before

98
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 7: training camp, and it really didn't involve basketball like it

99
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 7: was like some military stuff, you know what I mean.

100
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 7: So it was, it was, it was just it was

101
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 7: a challenge mentally.

102
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 4: Let's clear up a couple of stories because you'll know

103
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 4: the answer. Did George get left in a bathroom stall?

104
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 8: Uh?

105
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 7: Not not left in the bathroom stall, He was in

106
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 7: there for a second.

107
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 5: Got he got put in the bathroom there for a second.

108
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 5: Did he have to ride home separately from the vand again?

109
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, okay, so see those those were true.

110
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 6: We fought it a little bit, but we Yeah, he

111
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 6: had to ride home.

112
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 4: Talk to me about the SEC tournament? What what something happened?

113
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 4: I've always said that I kind of knew the Billy

114
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 4: g er was probably gonna end at the SEC tournament

115
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 4: where all of your family staying together down there, and

116
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 4: and then something happened.

117
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 5: Did it involve you? Was it something? What? What was it?

118
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 6: Uh?

119
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 7: It involved a couple of us, for sure, But I

120
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 7: think I think he just kind of lost the guys.

121
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, which Ei there was somebody like we're having to

122
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 4: walk home or something from a game.

123
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 5: Is that was that true?

124
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 6: Nah?

125
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 7: He he was talking about not taking some of us

126
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 7: to SEC tournament. He was talking about Uh uh, there

127
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 7: might have been a statement of we are coming, we

128
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 7: have to walk or something with that team from you

129
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 7: know what I mean. But yeah, he kind of he

130
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 7: kind of lost a couple of guys and a couple

131
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 7: of the key guys too. I think, uh, Jody being

132
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 7: one of them, which was one of our leaders, you

133
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 7: know what I mean.

134
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 4: Which we saw at the n I T game when

135
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 4: he didn't come out at half time.

136
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 5: Yeah.

137
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, but uh but yeah, yeah, I feel like that's

138
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 7: where it kind of some of the guys were kind

139
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 7: of like fed up.

140
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 4: But I always also knew I took Ramel Bradley and

141
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 4: Joe Crawford on their on their tour after the thing

142
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 4: was over, and even though they knew he had issues,

143
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 4: they still said, look, his heart was in the right place.

144
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 6: And it was do you agree with that? It was?

145
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 6: It was?

146
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 7: And like I said, he was a pretty good X

147
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 7: and O guy too. I think just his delivery at

148
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 7: times kind of turned people off. That's that's all that

149
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 7: it was. And he pushed us really hard. But I

150
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 7: will say when we got into games, it was way

151
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 7: easier than practices.

152
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, So then Cal comes, Yeah, I mean

153

156
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 5: I mean, what was that like for you? That run?

157
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 6: Unbelievable? Man.

158
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 7: I was fortunate to play on some great teams with

159
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 7: some amazing players. We had some great runs and that

160
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 7: kind of developed me into the player that I became,

161
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 7: you know what I mean, showing up having to compete

162
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 7: for minutes every single day. A lot of my matchups

163
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 7: were very difficult in practices.

164
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 5: Was it hard for you guys?

165
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 4: You Ramone, Perry that had come from the other group,

166
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 4: and then there's Cal. You and Ramone kind of played

167
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 4: a lot. Perry really didn't get to play a lot.

168
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 4: Was that a tough transition.

169
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 7: Kind of kind of but at the same time you're

170
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 7: playing behind John wallyer Bledsoe, Patrick Patterson, DeMarcus Cousins. Yeah,

171
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 7: I mean it's somebody's not that, you know what I mean.

172
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 7: Everybody's pretty self aware, you know what I mean. You

173
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 7: know who you're better than, who you're not better than,

174
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 7: who you compete with, who you can't compete with.

175
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 6: So we just bought into winning the championship.

176
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 4: Was there a moment I always bring up that moment

177
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 4: against North Carolina when y'all went on that run to

178
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 4: start the game with Wall and the crowd goes moment.

179
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 4: Was there a moment where you're like, Okay, we're back.

180
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 4: Did you have that feeling at any point?

181
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 6: Honestly?

182
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 7: Man, day one when they came really yeah, because they

183
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 7: were just extremely talented and you can tell they were hungry.

184
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 7: They were hungry, Coach Kyle was hungry, everybody was hungry.

185
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 7: So it was it was a totally different dynamic when

186
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 7: Coach Kyle.

187
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 5: Came, give me how sad?

188
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,239
Speaker 4: Was the locker room after the West Virginia game saddest

189
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 4: one I've been in ever?

190
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 5: Yeah?

191
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, man, we honestly that that was the team that

192
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 7: I felt like we just knew we.

193
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 6: Was gonna win the championship.

194
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 7: Might have might have hurt us in the end, but

195
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 7: when really that game came down to us just missing shots.

196
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 7: I'm pretty sure we was three for thirty three from

197
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 7: the three that night. They played a zone on us

198
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 7: and we just couldn't make shots. But they had a

199
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 7: really good team also too. They were tough that year.

200
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 4: And Missoula, who's now the coach at Boston, was the one.

201
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 4: It was the twenty eleven run to the final four,

202
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 4: a little bit of a surprising run, nearly lost in

203
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 4: the round to Princeton, and then found a way to

204
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 4: get all the way to the final four. That had

205
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 4: to be a special, a special little run right there.

206
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 7: Definitely, Man, it took it took it took him minute

207
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 7: for us to figure it out.

208
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 6: Uh we had lost a lot.

209
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 7: We had some new guys coming in who was trying

210
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 7: to figure out their role, you know what position they

211
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 7: had on the team. Uh So it took us a

212
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 7: while to get rolling. But we were extremely talented, so

213
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 7: we were going to figure it out eventually. And like

214
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 7: I said, Cole's practices they pushed us to be competitive

215
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 7: every single day, so it was going to happen at

216
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 7: some point twenty twelve.

217
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 4: Is Anthony Davis the kind of guy? I mean, you

218
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 4: played with him in the pros too. Is Anthony Davis

219
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 4: the kind of guy that the moment he walked in

220
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 4: you were like, Okay, this is.

221
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,719
Speaker 7: Different one thousand percent one thousand percent because if I

222
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 7: don't know, if many people know, he played guard in

223
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 7: high school, like he was a guard, so when he

224
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 7: came here he had all everything that you see in

225
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 7: the pros as far as like offensively, he had that

226
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 7: in college, but he just fit into a certain role

227
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 7: because he felt like that was better for the team.

228
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 7: But as soon as he got there, you could tell

229
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 7: he was different.

230
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 4: You famously had the instance at the SEC tournament where

231
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 4: you were inserted into the starting lineup and that worked

232
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 4: and then you became a huge component of that tournament run.

233
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 4: Was that like a bonding moment? Was that a moment

234
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 4: that got your confidence up? That like what everybody talks about.

235
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,719
Speaker 7: Definitely, definitely, because I was trying to figure it out

236
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 7: myself and that was all Gilly.

237
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 6: That was Gilly's idea.

238
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 7: One of the greatest teammates I've ever played with, But

239
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 7: that definitely got me rolling for sure. I got to

240
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 7: I got played a pretty good game. We lost that game,

241
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 7: but I played a pretty good game, got into a rhythm,

242
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 7: found my shot a little bit, and it carried over.

243
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 6: And like you said, it was just a bonding moment.

244
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 7: Like once, once that happened, all the guys kind of knew,

245
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 7: like everybody was here to win the championship.

246
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 4: You run through the tournament, you make big shots throughout it.

247
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 4: Having grown up in Kentucky won a Sweet sixteen, mister basketball,

248
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 4: What was it like standing on the floor in New

249
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 4: Orleans watching one shining Everything that happened.

250
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 7: After, Oh, unbelievable. Man, Like I said, that was a

251
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 7: dream of mine. That's that was my whole goal, to

252
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 7: like win a championship for Kentucky, you know what I mean.

253
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 7: And to be able to do that with the guys

254
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 7: that I got to do it with because we we

255
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 7: built some pretty good relationships my senior year.

256
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 6: It was amazing.

257
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 7: That's that's probably the best moment I've had on the

258
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 7: basketball court.

259
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 4: Cal leaves for Arkansas. What's Darius Miller's reaction?

260
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 6: Oh?

261
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 7: Man, I was sad. I'm not gonna lie to you.

262
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 7: Cal's my guy, Cow's my guy. I love Cal, I

263
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 7: love all that he did for the state and the university,

264
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,599
Speaker 7: but I also I know nothing last forever, you know

265
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 7: what I mean. I know there's there's all all Hall

266
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 7: of Fame coaches. They come to their career comes to

267
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 7: an end at the you know, the college that they

268
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 7: or the program that they spent a lot of time at.

269
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 7: So I was hurt, but I mean, I understand, I

270
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 7: get it.

271
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 4: But you're not gonna do the re sheepherd thing though,

272
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 4: and wear the Arkansas shorts and the Kentucky shirt.

273
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 6: Kentucky guy. Man, I'm a Kentucky guy from the Kentucky

274
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 6: guy threw it through. Nice love Cale, though, love Cal,

275
00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 6: but I'm a Kentucky guy.

276
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 5: Totally understand. All right.

277
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 4: So you've watched this team obviously a lot of struggles.

278
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 4: How do you diagnose what's happened this year?

279
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 7: Well, I think injuries played a part, uh and you

280
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 7: can never predict that or and I think the guys

281
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 7: that were injury that had their injuries were expected to

282
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 7: be big parts of the team. I do know it

283
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 7: takes a long time to build a culture he's only

284
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 7: in year or two, you know what I mean, And

285
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 7: we had some pretty big losses in my opinion, with

286
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 7: Red leaving with these guys that could produce a lot leaving,

287
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 7: you know what I mean. So I feel like it's

288
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 7: just gonna be an adjustment period. But I don't think

289
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 7: that this year is over by any means. Just we

290
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 7: just talked about my junior year. We struggled up until

291
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 7: the end of the SEC you know what I mean,

292
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 7: and our schedules brutal this year.

293
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 6: Man, we played some really good teams.

294
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 5: But when you watch them from a basketball standpoint, what

295
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 5: do you think they need?

296
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 7: I think I think they I think they have talent.

297
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 7: I think I still believe and Coach Pope one thousand percent.

298
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 7: I think they just got to figure it out. Honestly,

299
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 7: There's just so much that goes into winning a basketball game,

300
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,719
Speaker 7: especially it's another good team.

301
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 6: Uh. But I truly believe that us playing the strength

302
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 6: to schedule.

303
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 5: Uh.

304
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 6: The way that Coach Pope is.

305
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 7: We saw last night, he's holding people accountable, you know

306
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 7: what I mean.

307
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 4: So what did did you have moments when you played

308
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 4: where coaches did something like he did with Garrison?

309
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 6: I mean I've been benched.

310
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 7: I think everybody that's who been benched before, you know

311
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 7: what I mean, because there's no telling what's going on

312
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 7: in your life's like how you handle certain situations. Uh uh,

313
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 7: In I L is a new thing, you know what

314
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 7: I mean that people have to kind of adjust.

315
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 4: And I mean like you would have probably done pretty

316
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 4: well on me.

317
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 6: I would have loved in I L. I would have

318
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:53,960

Speaker 7: I got to play for some amazing coaches that pushed

478
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 7: us every single day. Uh, and yeah, that that was

479
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 7: a part of the magic for sure. You know, Cal

480
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 7: does a really good job of hiring a great staff,

481
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 7: especially guys that fit his culture, that fits his his vision.

482
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 7: And uh, he definitely did that here at Kentucky. Man,

483
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 7: those guys were amazing. Kenny Payne was amazing. He did

484
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 7: a great job pushing guys like me, Josh Harrelson, you know,

485
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 7: to to to be better players.

486
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 5: Did you ever think Georges would end up where he was?

487
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 4: I mean when the guy that walked in here under

488
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 4: Billy that he could end up being like a hero

489
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 4: like he was his last year here.

490
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 7: I don't know if I saw that happening, but that

491
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 7: that just goes to talk to like the development that

492
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 7: those guys were doing.

493
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 6: Man kp.

494
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 7: Robes strict, we had a we had a crazy we

495
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 7: had a crazy group come through and I'm really appreciative

496
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 7: of that for sure, because they taught us how to

497
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 7: be pros.

498
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 5: We'll finish up with this You've got.

499
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 4: If you were to say to Kentucky fans for a player,

500
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 4: I think sometimes fans don't think about what it's like

501
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 4: to play here from the side of a player. What's

502
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 4: the best part of playing at Kentucky? And then I

503
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 4: think there are challenges playing here that players at other

504
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 4: schools may not have as much.

505
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 5: What are those?

506
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 7: The best part, of course is the fan the traditions,

507
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 7: the atmosphere. It's just like you're not going to get

508
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 7: that anywhere else. You're not gonna get to support that

509
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 7: you get anywhere else, you know what I mean. People

510
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 7: show out no matter where you're playing in the world.

511
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 7: We went to Hawaii, it felt like we were in Lexington.

512
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 7: We went to Mexico, it felt like we were in Lexington.

513
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 7: We went to Canada, it felt like we were in Lexington.

514
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 7: And it's just amazing support. The tough side of that

515
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 7: is our fans have high standards and high expectations, you

516
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 7: know what I mean. Coach Pops in year two, we

517
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 7: expect them to win the championship, you know what I'm saying.

518
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 7: So it's tough, and I think a lot of guys

519
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 7: they don't understand that. They hear it, but until you're

520
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 7: actually in it, and it's every single day, those expectations,

521
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 7: those standards.

522
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 6: Are are on you no matter if you're.

523
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,719
Speaker 7: Feeling the way. I don't think it weighs on you.

524
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 7: It just depends on the person that you are, you

525
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 7: know what I mean. Some people feed off of that.

526
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 7: Some people it might be a little bit too much

527
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 7: for them. Some people adjust to it, some people don't.

528
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 7: But I will say, if if you use it the

529
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 7: right way, it pushes you to It pushed you to

530
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 7: be the best player you can be, no other way

531
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 7: it can go, honestly.

Speaker 5: Come on out in this little rainy day.

548
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 4: Let's talk about a couple other things here before we

549
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 4: go to the phones. Did you see the shannon the

550
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 4: throw by the attempt at a shot by ESPN's Chris Russo.

551
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 11: No, I haven't seen this.

552
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 5: Please look it up. Okay, go have you seen it.

553
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 6: I've seen it.

554
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 4: Chris Russo tries to take a half court shot at

555
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 4: an Arizona State game and seems to a not know

556
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 4: how to move, B, not know how to dribble, c

557
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 4: not know how to shoot, and d seemingly about to

558
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 4: tear his ACL all on one shot. It is, without question,

559
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 4: I have to tell you it's the most unathletic thing

560
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 4: I've ever seen in my life. Like take we talk

561
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 4: about the first pitches, and there have been a lot

562
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 4: of bad first pitches, but that's one action. That's just

563
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 4: throwing a ball. Shinnon, He does everything poorly there and

564
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 4: what is.

565
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 11: He trying to do?

566
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 3: A crossover before he takes a half court shot and

567
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 3: then launches it.

568
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 4: But he dribbles, He dribbles, nearly falls down when he dribbles,

569
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 4: picks it up, shoots it one handed, and seems to

570
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,360
Speaker 4: tear his ACL in the process.

571
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 11: Over the line too. That wasn't even a half court shot.

572
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 5: What would you call that? I don't even know.

573
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 9: It looked like at the first time he had ever

574
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 9: touched a basketball in his life.

575
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 5: ESPN should have fired him at that moment.

576
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:12,919
Speaker 9: On the spot.

577
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 5: How can you? How can you?

578
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 4: And I'm not saying I'm a great athlete, but I

579
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 4: don't know how you can talk about sports and move

580
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:21,239
Speaker 4: like that.

581
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 10: And we've seen people you get older, maybe they can't

582
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 10: get it there because they have a shoulder injury. There's

583
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 10: but there's still have a natural motion that once upon

584
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 10: a time they at least know what they're supposed to

585
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 10: be doing. The body just quit on him. This looks

586
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 10: like a guy who's never actually seen someone shoot a basketball.

587
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 10: It looks like he's never played asport or seen someone

588
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 10: play it.

589
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,239
Speaker 5: I mean, not just have no concept of how to

590
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 5: hold it.

591
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 4: Like I remember when the Mayor of Cincinnati threw that

592
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 4: first pitch and John Wall threw a bad first pitch.

593
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 5: But that's again one thing. He did everything badly.

594
00:25:58,600 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 9: Like I said at the time, that he'd ever touched

595
00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 9: a basketball, ever tried to shoot a basketball. But the

596
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 9: fact that he injured himself at the end of it,

597
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 9: I think is icing on the cake.

598
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 12: That's everything. He did not take one movement that was

599
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 12: not awful. Take the basketball, the equation. I don't know

600
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 12: that he's ever ran before.

601
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 10: I don't know that his faint have gone that fast

602
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 10: beyond walking.

603
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 5: How did everyone on the gym just not start laughing

604
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 5: in him?

605
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 3: The hair flop at the end is what gets it

606
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 3: for me, his hair flopping as he's hoveling off.

607
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 5: He does look to be in severe pain.

608
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 9: Maybe it's the most he's moved in his life. It's

609
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 9: a long time.

610
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 4: One of its top three worst attempt at something I've

611
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 4: ever seen. Second, Australia, the country of Australia just banned,

612
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 4: starting today social media for anyone under sixteen. If you

613
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 4: are under sixteen, you cannot be on social media in Australia.

614
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 4: The Prime got up and said there's too many bad

615
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 4: things that can happen for kids on social media, including

616
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 4: self esteem issues but also trafficking, like all kinds of

617
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 4: things that whatever positive occurs from it is offset by

618
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 4: the negative. Do you like that policy in Australia and

619
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 4: would you do you think they should have it here?

620
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 10: At first it seems kind of crazy, but there are

621
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 10: so many issues that can happen at that young age,

622
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 10: little things like we don't even consider. I had a

623
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 10: teacher tell me recently that their students deal with where

624
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 10: locations are on. It could be something as simple as

625
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 10: three friends are together and you see that you're not

626
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 10: even invited. Yeah, stuff like that leave a side trapping.

627
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 10: I mean, there's major, major things, but there's little things

628
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 10: you don't even think about that it can really affect,

629
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 10: you know, the most impressionable years of their youth and

630
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 10: when they're becoming who they are where they're just everything

631
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 10: on social media can be trash, and that's they're They're

632
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 10: just all consumed in it.

633
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 4: I'm generally of the belief you air on the side

634
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 4: of letting information out, but I actually kind of think

635
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 4: I'm for this.

636
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 5: I kind of think that they.

637
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 4: I mean, we already say that kids can't watch certain

638
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 4: kind of movies, right, I mean, we have age restrictions.

639
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 4: Sixteen actually kind of makes sense to me as an

640
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 4: age because they're able to drive at that point, so

641
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 4: they're going to be able to like go out.

642
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 5: And I don't know, I think I'm kind of for this.

643
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 5: What do you think.

644
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 9: I'm definitely for it. You know, cyber bullying has led.

645
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 5: To that's like another great point.

646
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's led to you know, young kids committing suicidecause

647
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 9: they get cyber bullies so bad through social media. There

648
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 9: are too many black spots. I think that's why I'm

649
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 9: I'm for it. You know, my kids grew up with

650
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 9: it and it was at time. It's it's awful uh,

651
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 9: you know with the bullying and the leads to depression

652
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 9: and things.

653
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 3: So as hard as an adult sometimes to read some

654
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 3: of the stuff that people send to you somebody at

655
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 3: sixteen or younger.

656
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, that so we have all four of us would

657
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 5: say we would.

658
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 6: Be for that, would be for it. I would vote

659
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 6: for it.

660
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 10: Yes, the cons far away the pro what is the pro?

661
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 10: You get to watch some well the.

662
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 4: Problem is I guess you could say like you can

663
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 4: you could learn things and you can connect with people,

664
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 4: and I mean, but yes, I.

665
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 10: Think the cons the cons seem much worse for that age.

666
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm kind of with you on that.

667
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 4: I think that Australia's probably right if in uh in

668
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 4: doing that.

669
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 5: Lastly, for some reason, this story really makes me laugh.

670
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 4: So you may see that there was a big Paramount

671
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 4: bought CBS and they're trying to buy Netflix.

672
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 5: Will ever see me.

673
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 4: They're trying to buy Warner Brothers, which is like HBO

674
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 4: and Turner and all that stuff. But when they bought

675
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 4: when Paramount bought CBS, the government has to approve these mergers.

676
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 4: And I guess the guy that heads Paramount is close

677
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 4: with Trump and he met with Trump and amongst the things.

678
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 4: Apparently that Trump said he needed to do to approve

679
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 4: the merger was he wanted Paramount to agree to make.

680
00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 5: Rush Hour four.

681
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 9: You gotta be kidding.

682
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 4: I'm not kidding. Don't look it up. He said, no,

683
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 4: you think I'm joking. This is who's in charge, folks.

684
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 4: He said Rush Hour were his favorite movies and he

685
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 4: wanted them to make Rush Hour four. And now Paramount

686
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 4: has agreed to get Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker wherever

687
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 4: they are. I don't even know where those guys. I

688
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 4: haven't seen either of those guys in a decade. They

689
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 4: are going to make Rush Hour four.

690
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 5: What do you make of that?

691
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 10: Why is no one thinking about Jackie Chan here? I mean,

692
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 10: it was already amazing that he was throwing that stuff

693
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 10: in his prime.

694
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 5: I honestly thought he was dead. He's got to be

695
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 5: in like his seventies.

696
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 10: We can't put him through that. We cannot put Jackie

697
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 10: Chan through that.

698
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 5: This is great.

699
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 11: I think it's great. Like if I had the power

700
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 11: to make channing.

701
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 4: You're reading my mind. I was gonna ask you this.

702
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,239
Speaker 4: I feel like you're the kind of person that, if

703
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 4: you became president, would make people make the movies you want.

704
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 4: I feel like you are the kind of person that

705
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 4: would do that.

706
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 11: I would demand, like Chi cheese restaurants are open and

707
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 11: can see. I would demand that.

708
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 3: Jeff Bridges comes back when we make Big Lebowski too, So.

709
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 5: You would demand a big Lebaski sequel.

710
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 11: John Goodman, Yeah, bring them back, let's do it. Yeah,

711
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 11: I would. I would use my power for that for reasons.

712
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 5: I mean, they're there.

713
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 4: It's ridiculous, but there is something kind of funny of

714
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 4: I like the rush Hour movies.

715
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 5: It's like what a child would do.

716
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 6: Yeah.

717
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 4: I like rush Hour. I'm president, make more rush hours.

718
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 4: Give me more rush hours, right.

719
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 10: I also like that it's not like a classic movie

720
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 10: where there's one and you want more. I mean, we

721
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 10: had three of them. It was already kind of running

722
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 10: its course as it is. I can't does he want

723
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 10: another Fast in the fur can?

724
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 4: Do you think Jackie Chan can still do all that stuff?

725
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 8: Like?

726
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 5: Do you think he?

727
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't remember those like, but he's got

728
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 4: He's like kung fu. I don't want to keep I

729
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 4: keep kicking my leg up in the air like I'm

730
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 4: doing kung fu. But do you think he can still

731
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 4: do it?

732
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 9: I didn't think the other Rush hours were any good

733
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 9: to begin with. I sure don't want to see Rush

734
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 9: Hour four.

735
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 5: I didn't like the.

736
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 11: First time for you. It's for Trump.

737
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 5: They're only going to show it to one person.

738
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 9: That's so crazy, this billion dollar acquisition. And he's like, Nope,

739
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 9: I'm not.

740
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 5: Going you need Rush Our four. Who's up next? Jay? Jay?

741
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 5: Go ahead, Jay?

742
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 13: Hey, Matt, what's going on?

743
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 5: What's up? Hey?

744
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 13: So I'm like a sixteen year veteran of the military, Okay,

745
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 13: I want to tell you this. Maybe it's an analogy

746
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 13: that could make some sense here in the military, every

747
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 13: two to three years, the commander of a particular unit

748
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 13: or battalion of brigade gets moved out and a new

749
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 13: one gets moved in. Their reasoning for doing that is

750
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 13: to prevent stagnation, Yeah, and conflacency and to promote innovation.

751
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 5: Makes perfect sense to me.

752
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 13: Yeah, it would be amazing if not only the University

753
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 13: of Kentucky it embraced that. But maybe even I don't

754
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 13: know are government.

755
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 5: I'm with you, I'm with you.

756
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 4: I have one of the guys that's in my fellowship

757
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 4: with me is in army leadership, and he talks and

758
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 4: he has told me that exact thing his I think

759
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 4: we're three years, but he said, we don't really believe

760
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 4: in anyone leading a group more than three years, and

761
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 4: that he was like asked to extend for a year,

762
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 4: and he's basically said no for the exact reason you said.

763
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 4: He goes, people get tired of hearing the same voice,

764
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 4: and you need to have new ideas. So I appreciate

765
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 4: the call.

766
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 14: I not.

767
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 4: I mean, three years is a very short period for athletics,

768
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 4: but I think that does apply Ryan, when you're talking

769
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 4: about somebody who's been in the job for twenty three years.

770
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean that's why we have I think term

771
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 9: limits in political.

772
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 4: We don't though we should. Well we do for some jobs,

773
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 4: but we don't for on some others.

774
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 9: Yeah, President, things like that. You know, your leader. Sometimes

775
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 9: you need that breath of fresh to re energize your department,

776
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 9: whether it's athletics or political, whatever it is.

777
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 10: And here with college sports, nothing right now is the

778
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 10: same as it was when they started. And you know

779
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 10: they were good at back twenty three years ago, but

780
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 10: nothing is the same as it was then. But I

781
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 10: worry we're still playing by the same rules as back then.

782
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,399
Speaker 5: And it's exponentially different, and not just in aile.

783
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 10: Everything is different, ye, just the way fans consume it,

784
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 10: and one from media and one from experience. Everything is different,

785
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,399
Speaker 10: But we have the same people in place. They aren't

786
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 10: good at both areas. Maybe they were good at the

787
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:32,439
Speaker 10: old air, that don't mean they're good at the new era.

788
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 4: With most of our coaches, there's been a moment where

789
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:41,760
Speaker 4: I saw the moment where I went, it's time. You've

790
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 4: probably now you said something that makes me think this

791
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 4: may not be for you anymore. For Stoops, it was

792
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 4: the pony up conversation. I think that was the moment

793
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 4: where I was like, I don't think he's totally connected

794
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 4: to this anymore.

795
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 5: Honestly.

796
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 4: For John cal Perry was that I'm gonna go home

797
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 4: and see my dog's conversation. That was a moment of

798
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 4: I don't think you get how bad that sounds.

799
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,280
Speaker 5: Part of me is Mitch the other day.

800
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 4: With his losing it about the question about Nil that

801
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 4: part of me wondered, is that that moment for him

802
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 4: where you just go, man, I just don't know that

803
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 4: you're connected to this anymore.

804
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 10: That was an embarrassing answer on a day that was

805
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 10: a celebration. What an opportunity that was just laid at

806
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 10: his feet to get some excitement and be like, look

807
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 10: at this new coach, we need more, we can do better.

808
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 10: Let's fuel him with a good roster. Let's feed these studs.

809
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 10: And he just told her By to shut up instead

810
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 10: of actually building on me.

811
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 5: He was only there two years, but Billy Gillespie was the.

812
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 4: I'm not a role model or whatever his company is.

813
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 4: I'm not an ambassador for the university like they have

814
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 4: these moments. And I do kind of wonder if that

815
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 4: was Mitch's.

816
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 9: So do you still feel like we're just what three

817
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,720
Speaker 9: weeks away from a big announcement from min Well, I don't.

818
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 4: Know if it'll be in three weeks. I don't think

819
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 4: he will be the athletic director next fall, but well

820
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 4: ask him if he comes on next week. Uh and

821
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,280
Speaker 4: see what he says. Is pain, stiffness or numbing sensation

822
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 4: preventing you from enjoying watching your favorite team compete. For

823

829
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 9: Of these conversations, I'm gonna have a tent in here.

Speaker 9: I'll be hiding in the tent.

Speaker 9: No, I'll be out in the tent somewhere, hiding profusely,

835
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 9: hiding from whatever you Yeah.

836
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 5: I don't even know how what that means.

837
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 9: I don't either, but it sounded good.

838
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 4: All right, Well, no it didn't. We'll take a break

839
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:51,879
Speaker 4: right back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio, Nohole Questions. Welcome back,

840
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,399
Speaker 4: TUCKI Sports Radio. We got some breaking news here.

841
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 5: Shannon running No.

842
00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 14: A UK's former UK offensive coordinator, Bush Hampden, has been

843
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 14: hired as the assistant head coach in charge of offense

844
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 14: at Mississippi State.

845
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 5: He actually won't be the coordinator.

846
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 4: I don't know what that means, but I guess they

847
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 4: found something they liked there from Bush Drew quick.

848
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 10: To find a job. I'll admitim a little surprise that's

849
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 10: in the SEC. But congrats to him.

850
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 9: I think there was a stretch this season where we

851
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 9: didn't appreciate Bush Hampden. I mean, I think when the

852
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 9: offense got rolling, I think he had a lot to

853
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 9: do with it because he finally felt confident and Cutter

854
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 9: calling the right plays for Cutter, putting cut in the

855
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,839
Speaker 9: better position. Now, of course we're all gonna go back

856
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 9: to the Texas game, but that may not have been

857
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 9: him making that call.

858
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 5: I don't know.

859
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 4: It'd be interesting if Mississippi State goes and has a

860
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 4: great offense. I don't know, then that might tell us

861
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 4: that there were other things.

862
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 11: Remember mobile game and we didn't score a point.

863
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 5: Yeah. Also, Liam Liam Cohen's doing pretty well. By the way,

864
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 5: he might win Coach of the Year.

865
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 4: I mean he Yeah, they're actually doing pretty excellent. DraftKings

866

Speaker 4: Keldn Johnson playing pretty well this year for the Spurs

875
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 4: in a six man row and Rob Dillingham now lots

876
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 4: of talk he might end up getting traded like they

877
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 4: just he's not even he got taken out of the rotation.

878
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 5: Really worked out for him.

879
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 10: No, most of the guys we keep eyes on closely

880
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 10: or having a great year. Reid turned it on after

881
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 10: a slow start. But Rob, we were expecting a big

882
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 10: jump for him and it just hadn't happened.

883
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,959
Speaker 4: Who would have thought, I mean, Justin Edwards plays well, yeah,

884
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 4: he does. You know, Reid and Justin Edwards have become

885
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 4: but Rob. Look at Mario. Look how sad he is

886
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 4: over there about Rob.

887
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 5: Rob. You know, Rob and Brownie just aren't living up

888
00:38:59,239 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 5: for him.

889
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm bummed. I love Ron, but it's just not

890
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 4: worked out for him.

891
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:04,919
Speaker 5: There, He's so fun. I thought there'd be a bigger

892
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 5: jump down. I did too. I thought maybe another opportunity

893
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 5: would be a good start for him. Maybe, so Matt,

894
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 5: go quickly, go ahead.

895
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,839
Speaker 8: First thing I like to say is my mom wanted

896
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 8: to tell you. You should put you all on the prayer list,

897
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,479
Speaker 8: Matt Jones for your family and God bless and many

898
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 8: prayers her. Is it crazy? She's a big fan. Is

899
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 8: it crazy to suggest like everybody moved back into the

900
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 8: dorm rooms like they used to in the old days

901
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 8: and hash it out and come together, maybe even do

902
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 8: some meditation. And you know, I'd like to say, God

903
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 8: bless and everybody make good choices.

904
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 5: You appreciate that, appreciate the call. I don't know.

905
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 4: I mean most of them, some of them live there,

906
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 4: some of them don't. I don't know that that would

907
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 4: do anything.

908
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 5: All right.

909
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:57,799
