But we 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:44.360 will be the first ones to taste. 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:44.640 No. 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:46.240 I said this a lot on the show. I'm a 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:48.920 little bit of a catfish snob. But our catfish here 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.200 is like really really, it's to be better. 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:53.960 Now you think of what lake you got it from, 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:55.520 You're about to get it from a bigger one. 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:57.280 I'm excited that where catfish. 0:01:56.920 --> 0:02:00.560 Are there in lakes right yeah, yes, Uh, money's out 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:02.800 on the boat right now. That's right. We're out getting it. 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:06.240 A few things here first, of all, We've got some 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:10.080 folks here from Augusta, Kentucky. This is These guys are 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:14.440 seniors and juniors, Grayson, Hayden, Will and Nolan uh. They 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:16.959 are here as part of a school project. The project 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:19.399 is how to be part of the best radio show 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:22.240 in America. And they decided to come and Drew, we 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:24.600 welcomed them here from Augusta. Yeah, I got to say 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:26.560 little jealous. This just seems like a boy's trip. My 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:28.880 field trips, I mean they were fun going to nerdy 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:32.000 museums and stuff, but these where on field trips. We 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:33.200 went to a coal camp. 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:35.959 That that sounds about like some of the I don't 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:37.640 remember going to a cold camp, and I know we 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:39.959 My big one was Chicago to the shedd aquery. 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:41.840 Oh mind. Do you know what a ca I know, 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:43.760 Ryan does. Do you know what a cold camp is? Mario, 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:45.840 you have no idea what a col camp. Back in 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:48.720 the day when people worked in coal mines, they all 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:53.040 lived in the same place and it was like it 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:55.799 was like a town and everyone in the town worked 0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:58.679 for the coal mine, including like you got paid in 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:02.400 the ripped which you then had to spend at the 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:05.240 store there. So it was like it wasn't a good 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.320 thing to have happened, but but the whole town would 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:09.960 be closed off part of the coal mine, and we 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:11.880 went to one of those places. By the time we went, 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:16.880 it didn't like functioning anymore, but it was fascinating. Even 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:18.519 as a kid, it was fascinating. Now I would have 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:21.919 rather come here and watched a good sports show. 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:23.480 But we did do that. Did you have a good 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:25.200 field trip when you were in No. 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:29.200 We went to the William and Clark Memorial and Vincen's 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:31.639 Indiana and a museum in Evansville, Indiana. 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:33.200 William and Clark Vincen's. 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:38.480 Aren't they the explorers that explored the like New Orleans? Well, 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:41.640 they discovered Vincen's Indiana. Apparently there's a big monument there. 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:44.240 I think they were much happier about New Orleansis and Clark, 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:46.120 Lewis and Lewis and Clark. 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:50.440 Oh yeah, you thought it was William and Clark. Yeah, okay, 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:52.880 I feel like I thought those are different people. I 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:54.960 thought you would have known Lewis and Clark. I thought 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:56.920 William and Clark was the secondary. 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:57.080 Lewis and Clark. 0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:57.320 Yeah. 0:03:57.560 --> 0:03:59.320 I feel like once a year we would just go 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:01.160 look at the Jeffer's Davis Monument. I feel like I've 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:01.920 been there thirty times. 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:03.960 That was just at a little problematic to me. 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:06.560 Well, it was just in western Kentucky. I think there 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:09.960 was some maybe some mounds in Henderson May Changel Mound. 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:13.320 Yeah, we would just do it, rotate those Angel mount. 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:14.600 Indian burial grounds. 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:17.240 I thought, I didn't know that I've been to the 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:21.039 Wickliffe Mounds. That was part of my uh, that was 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:24.200 part of my my trip for the book. Yeah, Wickliffe Mountains, 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:27.560 it's it is a massive Native American burial site. 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:29.880 I think it's a federal historical site. 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:30.800 Where is it in Kentucky? 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:34.000 In Wickliffe? That's why they call it the Wicklift Mountains. Yeah. Uh, 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:36.200 it's out there next the Mississippi River, like one of 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:40.480 those four river counties down there, Ballard County, Yes, so well. 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:42.159 The one in Indiana's on the river on the Ohio 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:43.719 River right there in Newburgh, Indiana. 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:46.320 See, you're learning everything. And we also have a man 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:50.080 what's your what's your first name? Daniel who brought me, uh, 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:52.520 the Joe Creesan book. You know, we talked about Joe 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:55.120 creas and he wrote a book of stories about Kentucky. 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:57.719 Joe Creesan's Kentucky. He brought it to me, and I'm 0:04:57.720 --> 0:04:59.920 going to read this. This will be I am now 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:04.599 sixteen books towards my fifty two and two thousand and nice, nice, 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:07.760 twenty five, and I will put this one on the list. 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:09.880 Sounds crazy. I want to read it after you read it. 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:12.320 Do you know how long it would take you to 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:12.800 get through this? 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:16.320 But I like reading about Kentucky in the background story, 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:18.240 he says, I like it, so you'll like it. Yeah, 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:19.320 I want to read that when you're done. 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:21.560 All right too, we can all do it. Take me up. 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:22.240 You got one too? 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:26.040 Yeah, this must have been a very popular book when 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:28.640 we knew nothing about it until last week. Yeah. Well, 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:31.880 so anyway, I'm looking forward. Thank you very much for that. 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:35.359 So today, you know, I've got like a lot. 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:39.080 Of little things. Trivia is tonight. I hope you get 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:41.599 your team together. It's this next to last qualifier. You 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:43.920 said your team's coming, but you're not correct. Yes, we'll 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:48.760 be here, but Mario and I will be here for trivia. Yesterday, 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:52.440 when the show was over, there were two things that 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.000 when I was out, people wanted to talk to me about. First, 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:58.159 Everyone has an opinion on the zipper merch. I know everyone. 0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:00.440 Everyone has strong opinions on what or not you can 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:03.960 zipper merge. People for it, people against it. There were 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.200 people who were One guy came up to me and 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:09.880 Chipotle and he said, the science of zipper merges. He said, 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:13.040 the problem is that we don't do true zipper merges. 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:15.279 Think about when you pull up a zipper, how each 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:19.359 row connects right. And he said, the problem is you 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:21.400 should be zipper merging the whole way and we go 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:22.800 to the front. And he was like, that's not how 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:25.480 a zipper works, which I thought was good point. Interesting, 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:27.359 only the selfish people go to the front. I didn't 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:29.880 it did be only people in a hurry go to 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:33.560 the front. And then the second thing was everybody was 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:36.080 agreeing with us Drew that Ryan is gonna get married 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:40.080 within the next few minutes, and so I saw two 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.479 people that knew Ryan and said Ryan will be married 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:44.760 by Christmas, and so I was glad to see that 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:46.320 his friends agreed with us. 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:48.520 I don't know if Ryan loved it, but I like 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:50.200 that discussion. I hate that it came at the end 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:52.039 of the show because I felt like we had at 0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:54.320 least another segment out of that, especially when the tech 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:57.760 started coming in from yoga Gal because she didn't say 0:06:57.800 --> 0:06:59.960 no wedding, she said no destination wedding. 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:02.040 Yeah, I feel like didn't want to go to Aruba, 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.640 which I think is fair since they've never been and 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:05.400 that would be weird. 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:07.920 I just liked how the original question was, Matt, will 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:10.200 you ever get married or you will have kids? Somehow 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:13.200 I got deflected on me and my relationship status. 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:14.640 Because I don't talk about it and you do. And 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:17.320 that's that's what that's why it happens. Now, would you 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:23.080 rather Ryan talk about interesting good basketball things or troubling 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:25.800 football things to start? You tell me which one you want. 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:27.400 I think you gotta start with good news, So I'm 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:28.320 gonna go with basketball. 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:30.960 Okay, I don't know. It's not really news. But Mark 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:34.240 Pope is going to hold his first press conference with 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:38.400 the media today at Noone. That just got announced. He 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:41.920 is going to come on this show next Well, we're 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:45.280 gonna tape it Tuesday afternoon next week and it will 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:48.600 be airing next Wednesday. It's gonna be a long sit 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:52.440 down which we're gonna then turn into a like an 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:54.840 hour show. It'd be like one of the two hours 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:58.080 will be my conversation with Pope, but. 0:07:58.120 --> 0:07:59.280 He's doing a press conference today. 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.480 It starts right out after this show, as every piece 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:05.360 of UK news breaks right at twelve. That says to me, Drew, 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:09.160 that Pope's roster is finished, right that he feels like 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:11.560 he said they weren't gonna talk until the roster's finished. 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:14.240 That tells me the roster is finished. What do you 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:16.280 think we're gonna hear today? This will be his first 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:18.120 time talking in mass to the media. 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:20.040 Yeah, I was gonna try to make it over there. 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:21.880 I don't I don't think i'll have time. He actually 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.080 shows up. When he says noon, it means noon pastor 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.480 Regames noon at twelve thirty, and I could get there, 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:29.080 but I will tune into the live stream. I really, 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:31.200 even though he puts out statements about each player, I 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:34.000 just want to see what went into getting all these pieces, 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:35.959 how he plans on putting together. You know, I doubt 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:38.640 he's gonna reveal how the rotation will look this early, 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:40.960 but I really just want to hear him go player 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:42.960 by player and get an understanding of why I went 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:44.800 after him and how he sees them fitting in here. 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:47.480 You gotta know he's gonna be excited about the rosters. 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:49.120 You know, a lot of it's gonna be really positive 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:52.400 coming from him today. You know, you're right. He said 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:53.959 he would talk to you, talk to the meeting. When 0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:56.320 his roster was completed, I felt like they were really 0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:57.640 gonna go out and get one more guys. 0:08:57.679 --> 0:08:59.679 I still thought there was a chance they would. They 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:02.600 must feel good about Otega coming back. I think if 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:04.720 he's gonna, if he's gonna talk, I think they must 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:07.640 feel pretty good about that. The draft lottery was last night, 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:09.600 not that that probably would have affected him, but. 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:12.679 So that's how I look at it. 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:16.120 A couple questions I would like someone, since none of 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:19.440 us are gonna be there, let's give the questions we 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:23.800 would like them to ask. I have one, like kind 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:27.720 of juicy question. I want to hear him say something 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:31.200 about Travis Parry because they didn't release the statement when 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:33.920 he left. They got asking and I found that weird. 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:36.199 I mean I just did. I found that weird because 0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:39.360 Mark Pope seems like the kind of guy who. 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:42.040 Would always release a statement, and that was his first 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:44.000 player called him out in the press conference last year. 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:47.760 So it does I do I don't want I wouldn't 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:50.320 want to ask him why didn't you say anything? But 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:52.040 I would just kind of be interested in what he 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:55.320 says about Travis Lee. I'm sure he'll take the high road, 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:58.960 but but I admit, Drew, I do wonder there was 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:03.840 no from Travis love you BBN, and there was no 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:07.760 from Pope, you know. I mean, we didn't even get 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:10.679 it with that said from Travis Perry. 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:11.120 Right, we didn't. 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:14.040 We didn't, And I wonder I do wonder about that, 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:14.439 do you. 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:18.400 Yeah, someone will ask I think that'll come up pretty quickly, 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:20.560 but I don't think we'll get a great answer. It'll 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:25.680 be the uh hit beautiful time here. We wish him luck, incredible, 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:28.800 but I just don't think that happened. I do think 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:30.360 it's weird, but I don't think we'll ever get a 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:33.160 real answer, especially in a press conference setting like that. 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:34.640 Someone will ask him. 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:37.080 I'd be shocked if someone doesn't ask him, But I 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:38.800 don't know that there will be a lot of meat 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:40.400 on that bone in his answer. I think he'll be 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:41.880 pretty vague and just wish him well. 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:44.280 It should have happened, like as soon as he announced 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:46.320 he was leaving Reese's statement in you can't do it 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.600 now after he's picked Ole Miss a conference rival. But 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:52.720 when Travis left, I was surprised that there wasn't something 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:56.760 from just from just a graphic. I was surprised from both. 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.960 Yeah, I'm much more surprised Travis didn't put something out. 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:02.440 I mean coaches usually do, but players. 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:08.680 They always say with that being said, like always, this 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:13.120 has been a wonderful time, said, you know, God's playing 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:16.160 like they always do that, and they didn't do it. 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:19.080 So I do think that that's interesting. I guess the 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:21.480 other thing I would like somebody to ask is I 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:25.000 want him to reassure me that these guys can shoot right, 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:28.480 because it seems like so much of what Mark Mark 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:32.640 Pope's offense is is shooting the three, and on paper, 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:36.479 this looks to be, while a significant step up athletically, 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:39.800 maybe a step back from a shooting perspective. 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:42.720 I heard Jalen Lowe's dad was on the Sunday Morning's 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:45.080 Corse Talk this weekend and he said that I didn't 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.200 know this, that he had a dislocated elbow like right 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:50.199 before the season started. He thinks that affected his shot 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:52.440 all year last year, that he's a better shooter than 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:55.080 the numbers will let you tell you he is. That 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:56.360 was kind of encouraging to hear. 0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.080 Although it is his dad. What's his dad gonna say, 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:01.600 like gonna be like he can't shoot? I mean, like 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.160 his dad is gonna fact. I'm on, I am on 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:07.800 a little bit of a hey family member, like I Bob, 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:09.760 the Pope's brothers got to just shut up. 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:13.320 I was like, he was on he was on what 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:13.720 is it? 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:19.320 What's the dude Shannon that did the British got Peers Morgan? Yeah, person, Yeah, 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:22.280 he was on his show and he was like, I mean, 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:23.720 my brother's not really woke. 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.320 I mean he might be a little woke, and you're like, dude, 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:29.280 like what are you doing? 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:31.679 And he was just sitting back and he like he 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:34.800 was sitting like with his crotch up and he like 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:37.640 not even sitting up straight. I'm like, your brother's the Pope, 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:40.839 at least sit up straight. I do wonder sometimes about 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:43.600 family members. I don't trust entirely what they say. 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:43.880 Uh. 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:46.760 One good thing I heard from Jayleen Lowe's dad this 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:48.760 morning on Tom leach a show is did you know 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:52.360 he was Jeff Brasso's point guard in high school? Jayleen 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:55.520 Low's dad was that kind of show brassow at him 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:57.000 when he got so the Harrison. 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:59.440 Twins gave a big complica. They said that. 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:02.040 They said, uh, they thought he was gonna be great 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:04.280 because they I don't know how they know him from 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:07.520 Texas and Texas from Texas and uh and darreon Fox 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:08.079 knows him too. 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:11.120 Yeah, so he actually we mentioned as shooting. Low this 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:13.360 weekend was one of the standouts at the G League camp. 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:15.520 And even though it was only two scrimmages, He's playing 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:19.160 against good competition and shot forty three percent from three games. 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:22.360 But of all the players coming in, I think he's 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:24.400 gonna be great. I think there's a decent change. I'm 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:27.679 gonna go on record, write it down, all right, He's 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:31.800 gonna be our leading score next year, Otaka, that's our 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:32.840 leading score next year. 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:35.760 Well, if he can shoot a lot better than these 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:37.480 numbers are, he's got the chance he can get to 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:39.360 the basketball. I don't think that's a play a lot 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:41.600 of minutes. No, Like if you were if you were. 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:44.760 Setting Vegas odds, Otaga would probably be first, but Jayalen 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:46.839 Row would probably be second. I don't I don't think 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:49.760 that's a crazy outlandish pick to say he'll be the 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:50.360 leading scorer. 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:52.920 Yeah, I mean he can absolutely good buckets. He'll have 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:54.959 to dial back as much as he was used at 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:57.920 pitt He's known as a driving kick guy too, so 0:13:57.920 --> 0:13:59.880 if guys are shooting, he's gonna have a highest sister 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:02.040 getting inside in the throwing back out. 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:04.600 He was the dude we didn't have. I mean, he 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:06.120 is a guy that at the end of the game 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:07.800 can go get a shot. I mean we were at 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:11.120 we made a couple with Otago, especially against Oklahoma, but 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:14.640 in general, you know, I kept worrying we needed someone 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:15.840 like that. I think he'll be that guy. 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:18.679 Name a half three with Aberdeen, Otega, and Lowell, got 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:20.040 three guys that can go get that shot. 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:22.640 Yeah, So I'm excited about it. So we'll see what 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.080 happens with the press conference. AF I'm nine two eight 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:27.720 oh twenty two eighty seven. Text machine is seven seven 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.120 two seven seven four five two five four. We're gonna 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:33.000 take a break. Shannon conspiracy theory. Shannon's got to come 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:36.800 out next segment. Okay, was the NBA draft for lottery. 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:39.240 Rig I think I think you have to you at 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:40.440 least have to discuss it. 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:42.160 Because it is a little odd. 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:44.560 We'll take a break right back this Kazar. 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:48.680 Welcome back in his Kentucky Sports radio A five nine 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:51.240 two eight oh twenty two eighty seven text machine seven 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:53.760 seven two seven seven four five two five four. Again, 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:56.400 we're gonna let you, uh, sort of finish what you 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:58.840 have to say. Today worked pretty well. Yesterday. 0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:00.520 You did pretty well yesterday, though. 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:02.800 I had some people write me Shandon and say, don't 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:05.640 let people finish what they say, yeah, because they don't 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:07.400 have anything to say. But I thought yesterday was a 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:10.000 pretty decent balance. I went back and listened, and so 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:13.320 I thought it was pretty good. Yeah, well we'll do it. 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:15.720 You learn a lot about. 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:16.800 You do learn, and some people you don't need to 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:21.360 know as much about it. Some people you want everything. 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:23.960 One person writes Matt, the whole Travis Perry thing takes 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:27.800 me off. He's a Kentucky legend and he should never 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:31.840 have left here. I mean, I don't agree with that 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:33.920 he should have never left. It was it was the 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:37.680 best decision for him. I mean, you know, we talked 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:40.360 about this during the year a little bit. I think 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:45.560 I think when you bring these Kentucky players to the 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:49.360 to the campus, they better be really good or else 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:52.560 you set up for fans going why isn't so and 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:56.160 so play right? And that is distracting for a team. 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:59.520 It just is. It is distracting for a team to 0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:02.560 it's distracting for the player ahead of Travis Perry, who 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:05.720 people go why isn't Travis Perry? And then when Perry's 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:09.040 not playing? I think it is fair to say, Ryan, 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:11.720 you tell me if this is fair to say that 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:15.400 Travis Parry's dad was a coach and he has a 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:16.800 very strong presence. 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:21.880 Fair to say, yes, you look nervous. I don't know 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:22.640 where you're going with this. 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:27.720 Well, he has a very strong presence and he makes 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:34.560 that presence felt. Is that fair the coach? I guess what? No, 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:40.920 you know what, the father of Travis Perry, the coach, Yes, 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:49.320 also makes his presence felt. And yes, yes, okay, And 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:55.200 and it's a Kentucky coach that can be Could that 0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:56.040 be a distraction? 0:16:57.600 --> 0:16:58.080 Definitely? 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:01.680 Why are you saying I'm so nervous if you're agreeing 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:02.000 with me? 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:04.840 Well, because I don't think Ryan Perry is that kind 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:06.679 of guy. I think he's a he's a coach, but 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:08.000 he's beloved. Everybody likes him. 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:08.359 I don't think. 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:09.119 That doesn't mean. 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:12.000 He's not beloved. Everyone in this situation can be beloved. 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:14.920 Mark Pope can be beloved. Travis Perry can be beloved. 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:17.639 Coach Perry can be beloved. But it can lead to 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:22.679 it can lead to their being some distraction. Is that 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:23.200 not fair? 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:24.399 I'm definitely it's fair. 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:26.320 Okay, then I don't know why you're nervous. 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:27.639 I just don't know if that's the case here. I 0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:29.080 think it's fair, but I don't know if that's the case. 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:32.359 Oh well, then why are you agreeing with me? You 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:34.359 were asked me questions that I agree with. Is he a 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:36.960 big personality? Yes, okay, you're lead. 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:41.439 And he just this is why you can't lead a witness, 0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:43.560 because I ended up he ended up saying exactly what 0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:46.520 I thought, and then saying he didn't think it. Point bean, 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:50.040 I think it was best for Travis to go somewhere 0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:53.000 else and he got the money that he wanted and 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:56.159 he'll get the playing time, so Drew, I don't because 0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:59.240 he was a Kentucky legend to me the day your 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:03.399 high school time. It's a meritocracy. If you can. 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:04.760 Play, you play. 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:08.239 If you can't play, you don't play period, where you 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:11.080 went to school and all that shouldn't matter in my opinion. 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:13.760 I mean, I still think he's a Kentucky legend. He's 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:16.280 the whole time leading score broken record. It should be broken. 0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:18.320 But at the end of the day, if someone's gonna 0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:20.720 give you more money, more playing time, that's a win 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:23.440 for Travis Perry, and it could be a win for Pope. 0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:24.879 They don't have to have the pressure of feeling like 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:26.159 they have to play him. I mean, it's not a 0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:28.000 certainly not a loss, because I don't think he's gonna 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:30.879 play that much this time this upcoming season. Anyway, I 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:32.360 think this is the case where you look at each 0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:33.679 other and you shake hands and say, it was a 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:35.760 fun year. I've got to go do what's best for me. 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:38.760 You know, he got recruited over this year. He's gonna 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:41.160 get recruited over every year, and he knows that. It's 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:43.240 just unfortunate. I think he got forced into a position 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:45.360 this year he wasn't ready for. They had to play 0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:48.160 because of injuries. He didn't shoot the ball as well 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:50.880 as he usually does, and I think those two things combined. 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:52.560 I wish he could have a do over, you know. 0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:58.000 Yeah, But Trent Noah got forced to play, and you 0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:01.480 saw moments where you could have said that can work. Yep, 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:03.080 you didn't see. 0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:04.639 It with Travis, at least I didn't. 0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:07.560 Now that doesn't mean it's not gonna work, but he 0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:10.560 was gonna be thir like, would you have not recruited Aberdeen? 0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:11.800 You have to. 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:12.600 You had to. 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:16.359 So he's now third string. And do Kentucky fans lose 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:20.399 their minds about losing the third string point guard. No, 0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:24.480 it's just the cause he's from here. But I'm sorry. 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:28.160 I love having kids from Kentucky. It makes me feel good. 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:32.000 But you know what's most important, we win, right. It's 0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:35.320 like to use a political analogy. I like James Carville. 0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:37.440 I see James Carvill on TV, and I always see 0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:40.000 he's fighting with people on the far left, and the 0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:42.920 people on the far left go, we need politicians who 0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:45.320 believe with us on this, this and this, And then 0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:47.880 James Carville sounds like me. He goes, I want to win, 0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:52.600 and he's like, y'all can argue about that. I want 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:55.400 to win. I'm the same way. I want to win. 0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:57.800 Would I rather win with kids from Kentucky? 0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:00.560 Yes, But first, Drew gotta. 0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:02.960 Win and who's to say this couldn't happen again. I 0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:05.119 don't want to put anything on an exact names, but 0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:07.000 let's say one of the Kentucky kids on the current 0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:09.080 roster doesn't play it all next year in a school 0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:11.760 calls and says, I'll triple your money and give you 0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:12.840 X amount of playing time. 0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:14.720 I would think that player should do it. 0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:16.800 You have to look out for yourself in this NIO 0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:19.280 world where you're gonna make more money in this four 0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:21.680 year window than you will probably ever in your life. 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:25.280 The reports are that Travis Perry maybe made six to 0:20:25.359 --> 0:20:28.440 seven hundred thousand at Old Miss, he was probably gonna 0:20:28.440 --> 0:20:31.480 make two hundred to two hundred and fifty here. He'd 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:33.400 be foolish not to go there. 0:20:33.280 --> 0:20:35.240 Triple your money and you get more playing time. 0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:36.120 If it'd be. 0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:38.000 Foolish, it'd be foolish not to go. All right, who's 0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:43.040 up first here, Johnny, Johnny, go ahead, Johnny, hey man. 0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:46.880 I was just wondering. I know you talked about it 0:20:47.000 --> 0:20:51.800 some last week, with the athletics program going to like 0:20:51.840 --> 0:20:53.000 a private business. 0:20:53.200 --> 0:20:57.160 Yes, do you think that are other. 0:20:57.000 --> 0:20:59.399 Sports that aren't maybe as popular, don't bring in as 0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:03.480 much money? There will be like a concerted marketing strategy 0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:07.639 to get those sports more exposure and more money and 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:11.000 maybe even see something like a UK sports network. 0:21:11.760 --> 0:21:14.440 Yeah, well you can't have a UK sports network sport. 0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:17.359 Yeah, we can't have a UK sports network because all 0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:20.359 of our media rights are held with the SEC. So 0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:24.800 our media rights outside of our and I appreciate the 0:21:24.840 --> 0:21:27.720 call our basketball, our basketball and football, well, all of 0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:31.480 our broadcast rights on radio are held by JAYMI, but 0:21:31.600 --> 0:21:34.920 all of our TV rights and all the other University 0:21:34.920 --> 0:21:38.240 of Kentucky rights are held by ESPN, So we're never 0:21:38.320 --> 0:21:41.080 going to be able to package those as one thing. 0:21:41.119 --> 0:21:44.560 They will always be part of ESPN. Yeah, I mean, 0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:47.480 I'm sure they'd love to market the other sports. It's hard, though, 0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:50.679 you know, people only have so much time Ryan, right, like, like, 0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:53.480 you know, I'm sure there's a lot of people that 0:21:53.520 --> 0:21:56.600 would love to watch soccer, but you know what, that's 0:21:56.680 --> 0:21:59.159 during football season and they got other things to watch, 0:21:59.200 --> 0:22:02.160 and I think it's hall hard to market these other sports. 0:22:02.320 --> 0:22:04.600 People care about what they care about, and in Kentucky 0:22:04.640 --> 0:22:08.080 they care about basketball, football, women's basketball, and they've started 0:22:08.080 --> 0:22:10.040 to care a little bit about baseball. And that's just 0:22:10.119 --> 0:22:10.920 kind of how it is. 0:22:10.960 --> 0:22:13.440 And that that TV contract is the biggest revenue maker 0:22:13.440 --> 0:22:14.600 of the for the program. 0:22:16.240 --> 0:22:19.520 It is the revenue maker for the program. I mean 0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:23.399 that and football tickets are the revenue makers. True, And 0:22:23.440 --> 0:22:25.159 you're right about it's hard to keep up with everything. 0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:26.359 I do it for a living and I can barely 0:22:26.440 --> 0:22:28.200 keep up with everything. I mean, there are people who 0:22:28.240 --> 0:22:31.000 love UK, went to UK and support UK baseball, but 0:22:31.080 --> 0:22:32.800 can struggle to tell you what's going on with them, 0:22:32.840 --> 0:22:34.840 just because people have lives, and you know, you're into 0:22:34.840 --> 0:22:37.359 basketball and football for so long. It's hard to just 0:22:37.359 --> 0:22:39.639 stay engaged with every little thing that happens in UK 0:22:39.720 --> 0:22:40.560 athletics every day. 0:22:40.560 --> 0:22:42.280 I mean, we talked about this a lot yesterday. 0:22:43.320 --> 0:22:47.280 There are benefits to business and capitalism and then there 0:22:47.320 --> 0:22:50.560 are negatives. And what we're gonna see in UK sports 0:22:50.760 --> 0:22:53.800 is the negative is gonna start being hurting some. 0:22:53.800 --> 0:22:55.159 Of these other sports. 0:22:55.240 --> 0:22:59.200 It just is. I mean, it's just life. That's the 0:22:59.240 --> 0:23:01.840 way it's gonna be. We'll take a break, be right back, okay, Sorry. 0:23:02.800 --> 0:23:06.400 TJ Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ. He'll make them 0:23:06.440 --> 0:23:07.320 pay now. 0:23:07.480 --> 0:23:10.560 More of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. 0:23:10.680 --> 0:23:12.000 Here's Matt Jones. 0:23:11.720 --> 0:23:13.280 Welcome back Tucky Sports Radio AF. 0:23:13.320 --> 0:23:15.960 I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven gonna 0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:17.960 go to the phone here and just Segon what person rights? Matt. 0:23:18.000 --> 0:23:19.560 My favorite part of the show is when you make 0:23:19.680 --> 0:23:23.359 Ryan uncomfortable. It's clear he doesn't like to talk about things. 0:23:23.400 --> 0:23:26.000 And that's when I know it's a real scoop. That's 0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:29.080 exactly right. That's a great read. Anytime you hear Ryan 0:23:29.119 --> 0:23:32.720 get quiet, that means it's real. That means because that 0:23:32.800 --> 0:23:34.520 means he doesn't want to say it because he knows 0:23:34.520 --> 0:23:34.960 it's true. 0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:39.040 Man. We had a weather's awesome today, great weather outside. 0:23:38.760 --> 0:23:41.240 Talking about That's what I'm talking about. Right. 0:23:41.280 --> 0:23:43.840 Would you like we didn't do the football thing? 0:23:43.880 --> 0:23:44.199 We'll do it? 0:23:44.240 --> 0:23:47.480 Second, out Drew, would you like good news or bad 0:23:47.560 --> 0:23:49.960 news about the state of Kentucky outside of sports? 0:23:50.000 --> 0:23:50.800 Which one would you like? 0:23:50.840 --> 0:23:53.760 First? Uh, let's get the bad news out of the way. 0:23:53.840 --> 0:23:56.800 They get back to a good show. Russells Springs, Kentucky. 0:23:56.840 --> 0:24:01.639 Man Yes was arrested for biting the ear off a cat. 0:24:05.840 --> 0:24:09.439 He bit the ear off a cat. When the police 0:24:09.520 --> 0:24:13.040 asked him why, his answer was the cat bit me first, 0:24:14.480 --> 0:24:17.520 I'm not kidding. His answer was the cat bit me first, 0:24:17.880 --> 0:24:20.800 and I got angry, and then I bit the ear 0:24:20.840 --> 0:24:24.720 off a cat Russell Springs. I don't know what's happening there. 0:24:24.840 --> 0:24:29.560 We've done many shows there, but you gotta keep your 0:24:29.560 --> 0:24:32.560 guys from eating biting the ears off cats. I read 0:24:32.560 --> 0:24:35.560 this story on kwats he this morning. I believe he 0:24:35.760 --> 0:24:38.240 bit both ears off, So I mean he did it 0:24:38.280 --> 0:24:41.160 once and then went back. He can't say. 0:24:41.200 --> 0:24:43.520 I'll double check that. But Shannon you Tall talked about 0:24:43.520 --> 0:24:44.440 it too. Wasn't it both ears? 0:24:44.760 --> 0:24:46.880 I didn't hear both, But I think one ear is enough. 0:24:46.960 --> 0:24:49.199 I feel like one ear's plenty. I feel like and 0:24:49.280 --> 0:24:52.840 if you do it a second time that psychopath behavior. Yeah, like, 0:24:53.040 --> 0:24:56.359 you know one ear, maybe you just got angry, but 0:24:56.480 --> 0:24:57.200 the second ear. 0:24:57.840 --> 0:24:59.560 I mean Mike Tyson stopped at once. 0:24:59.680 --> 0:25:03.439 Yeah, Mike Tyson did stop at one. He didn't go 0:25:03.520 --> 0:25:04.320 to the second year. 0:25:04.400 --> 0:25:08.640 And this in the nibble like her was removed right off. Yeah, 0:25:08.720 --> 0:25:12.160 that's with I don't want to live among people by these. 0:25:12.040 --> 0:25:13.120 Stories happen in Kentucky. 0:25:13.119 --> 0:25:15.359 Why can't it be I think we know the answer 0:25:15.440 --> 0:25:17.200 to that, all right, But how about some good news? 0:25:17.200 --> 0:25:20.119 All right? To have some good news in twenty twenty 0:25:20.800 --> 0:25:24.120 they ranked the list of most obese states in America 0:25:24.600 --> 0:25:28.359 and Kentucky was the third most obese state in America. 0:25:28.600 --> 0:25:31.560 But in twenty twenty four they updated it. We are 0:25:31.680 --> 0:25:36.200 now only the eighth most obese state. News. Yeah, well, 0:25:37.720 --> 0:25:41.480 we have risen five states in the last four years. 0:25:42.000 --> 0:25:44.800 I don't know why. Be interesting you think it. 0:25:44.720 --> 0:25:47.280 But everybody else has that access to ozimpic too. 0:25:47.400 --> 0:25:51.239 But remember, Bowling Greens is the number one city in 0:25:51.320 --> 0:25:52.800 America for ozimpic. 0:25:53.440 --> 0:25:55.440 Again, why, we still don't know. 0:25:56.400 --> 0:25:59.680 But how about that we've gone from we have passed 0:25:59.840 --> 0:26:04.919 not only Mississippi Louisiana, but we've passed Iowa. Yeah, Nebraska, 0:26:05.080 --> 0:26:08.280 I was fatter than us now, so that's really good news. 0:26:08.280 --> 0:26:09.720 I'm proud of us. A lot of us just walking 0:26:09.720 --> 0:26:12.199 around our shirts off, showing off this new bard A 0:26:12.200 --> 0:26:12.879 lot of us do. 0:26:13.080 --> 0:26:14.399 Whether or not we should is a different. 0:26:14.400 --> 0:26:16.960 Good God, good job Kentucky. Everyone out there that's slim 0:26:16.960 --> 0:26:18.119 down a little bit, I'm proud of you. 0:26:18.200 --> 0:26:18.640 That's right. 0:26:18.880 --> 0:26:22.520 So even if it's yes, we may occasionally bite the 0:26:22.560 --> 0:26:25.359 ear off a cat, but we don't swallow it as 0:26:25.440 --> 0:26:28.280 much anymore because we're staying We're staying thin. 0:26:28.240 --> 0:26:29.760 To go back to that real quick. I looked up 0:26:29.760 --> 0:26:31.960 the story. It says ears, so I take that as too. 0:26:32.280 --> 0:26:35.040 But one thing I didn't know. His deputies found him 0:26:35.080 --> 0:26:37.920 hiding under the blankets on his bed. Yeah, he just 0:26:38.080 --> 0:26:41.040 ran in the bedroom like they and he got under 0:26:41.080 --> 0:26:41.719 the blankets. 0:26:42.840 --> 0:26:45.920 He decided to hide, and he went under his blankets 0:26:45.960 --> 0:26:48.200 like they think the police are not gonna look under 0:26:48.240 --> 0:26:48.520 my well. 0:26:48.520 --> 0:26:50.280 I hope that guy gets help. But on the weight 0:26:50.320 --> 0:26:53.399 loss thing, I do think Ozipa Ozimpi probably plays a 0:26:53.400 --> 0:26:56.280 big role with the bowl and green hot bed for it. 0:26:57.200 --> 0:26:59.480 That cat thing's really hairy situation. 0:27:01.640 --> 0:27:03.360 You know, you sat there for like three or four 0:27:03.400 --> 0:27:06.320 minutes trying to come up with that, and that was. 0:27:06.320 --> 0:27:07.080 The best you did. 0:27:07.240 --> 0:27:08.960 Almost went with Oh no, it's good. 0:27:09.000 --> 0:27:09.760 Who's up next? 0:27:10.880 --> 0:27:12.359 I was gonna I don't want to hear one of 0:27:12.359 --> 0:27:12.960 those other jokes. 0:27:13.000 --> 0:27:13.560 I wish it. 0:27:13.640 --> 0:27:15.520 What was your second when it's gonna be worse because 0:27:15.520 --> 0:27:17.160 this is the one you didn't choose. 0:27:17.080 --> 0:27:18.760 Well, And Drew said, hit under the cover.

They moved it after 0:29:02.440 --> 0:29:05.960 we won our second and then they moved it to 0:29:06.440 --> 0:29:09.400 Lake Cumberland and we won our third. 0:29:10.640 --> 0:29:13.000 Well congratulations. I think we had talked on this show 0:29:13.040 --> 0:29:16.000 about I appreciate the call that you got that there 0:29:16.000 --> 0:29:18.920 would seem to be a home like advantage, true because 0:29:18.920 --> 0:29:21.640 you would know where the fish are. And Meulenberg County 0:29:21.680 --> 0:29:23.880 show they can go on the road and still fish 0:29:23.920 --> 0:29:26.080 with the best, got a big dynasty going on. Also, 0:29:26.200 --> 0:29:28.440 they're the new catfish at CA's Bar. But people don't 0:29:28.440 --> 0:29:31.360 know this, but the Meellenberg County High School provides our catfish. 0:29:31.440 --> 0:29:32.400 We just took their way. 0:29:32.440 --> 0:29:35.160 We should actually consider that maybe an nil opportunity. Go 0:29:35.200 --> 0:29:36.960 out and find us some fish. We'll fright up. 0:29:37.520 --> 0:29:42.040 So whichever team wins, we take their fish, and then. 0:29:41.920 --> 0:29:43.640 That's what we cook everybody wins. 0:29:44.000 --> 0:29:45.680 That would be kind of nice, Kentucky. 0:29:46.120 --> 0:29:48.120 I have one hundred questions about this, like are they 0:29:48.120 --> 0:29:50.040 only catching bass or do they catch crappie? 0:29:50.160 --> 0:29:52.080 There's a we had them on the phone, we should 0:29:52.120 --> 0:29:53.680 ask I was a little thrown off by the two 0:29:53.720 --> 0:29:55.640 people there were they passing a phone back. 0:29:56.040 --> 0:29:56.800 The respectment the. 0:29:59.360 --> 0:30:03.920 Catfish whish title that would presume that it was or 0:30:03.960 --> 0:30:04.760 is it just fishing? 0:30:05.440 --> 0:30:07.280 I didn't hear catfish from maybe he said that. 0:30:07.360 --> 0:30:12.080 Yeah, okay, well either way, we'll congrats to Muhlenburg County. 0:30:12.120 --> 0:30:13.040 Who's next, Dustin? 0:30:13.360 --> 0:30:14.520 Dustin? Go ahead, Dustin. 0:30:17.080 --> 0:30:19.720 Mark Stoop's big fan of him his entire career that 0:30:19.760 --> 0:30:23.600 he's been here, yestand I understand the schedule is terrible, 0:30:23.800 --> 0:30:27.840 but he goes five and seven with eighteen points a game. 0:30:28.720 --> 0:30:32.240 Back of the end offense and the SEC. It's time 0:30:32.280 --> 0:30:34.560 to move on. But if you can somehow let bush 0:30:34.600 --> 0:30:36.040 hand and do a little bit of something, have a 0:30:36.080 --> 0:30:38.680 middle of the road offense, I get it. But this 0:30:38.760 --> 0:30:41.600 stuff a stallball and let defense take the field. I 0:30:41.680 --> 0:30:42.680 just can't do it anymore. 0:30:43.000 --> 0:30:45.360 Yeah, well, let's talk about that for just a minute. 0:30:45.400 --> 0:30:48.480 That was gonna be my football conversation. So somebody sent 0:30:48.520 --> 0:30:54.160 me this morning Ryan a email they had about the 0:30:54.240 --> 0:30:59.080 applications for season ticket renewal for UK football. And for 0:30:59.160 --> 0:31:01.120 those of you that are see and ticket holders, you know, 0:31:01.200 --> 0:31:04.320 when your turn comes up in the line, they will 0:31:04.400 --> 0:31:07.280 show you all the seats that are available and you 0:31:07.320 --> 0:31:10.360 can upgrade to better seats, and obviously some of them 0:31:10.400 --> 0:31:13.440 cost more and some of them don't. This person had 0:31:13.440 --> 0:31:17.720 gotten their email last week and they showed me and Ryan. 0:31:17.840 --> 0:31:22.920 The amount of seats that were open was staggering. The 0:31:22.960 --> 0:31:25.800 person said, they've been doing this a long time and 0:31:25.840 --> 0:31:30.360 there are always some open, but never anywhere close to this, 0:31:30.600 --> 0:31:34.760 and including lots of seats that to me look expensive 0:31:35.880 --> 0:31:38.800 have have come open. And you sit there and you 0:31:38.840 --> 0:31:40.560 look at the at the at the sheet and it 0:31:40.720 --> 0:31:46.160 was a lot of seats in really good sections. Are 0:31:46.200 --> 0:31:50.320 you worried about attendance slash, because I mean that has 0:31:50.720 --> 0:31:53.520 a major effect on revenue at a time that we 0:31:53.560 --> 0:31:56.680 are adding twenty two million dollars to our budget. 0:31:57.280 --> 0:32:00.680 Are you worried about that? I honestly, I mean I'm 0:32:00.680 --> 0:32:03.200 worried about attendance. I'm worried about our team next year. 0:32:03.240 --> 0:32:05.320 I mean, they haven't won a home football game. What 0:32:05.480 --> 0:32:08.640 two years? They all for their last eight and sec 0:32:08.680 --> 0:32:11.800 home games. I think people were just kind of put 0:32:11.840 --> 0:32:13.840 off by the things they've seen the last couple years. 0:32:13.880 --> 0:32:15.640 That are not gonna spend that kind of money to 0:32:15.640 --> 0:32:17.400 go watch another product that may not be as good 0:32:17.400 --> 0:32:18.200 even this year. 0:32:18.080 --> 0:32:20.480 But I mean, is there anything you think they can 0:32:20.520 --> 0:32:23.320 do or is it just like that's what it's gonna 0:32:23.320 --> 0:32:26.960 be next year. Because I looked at it, and I'm 0:32:26.960 --> 0:32:31.400 telling you, I looked at it and I was shocked 0:32:32.080 --> 0:32:35.880 at how many seats were available, like shocked. I think 0:32:35.880 --> 0:32:39.080 that's what it's gonna be. I'm normally overly optimistic with 0:32:39.160 --> 0:32:41.680 Kentucky football. I mean, I've booked hotels in Atlanta in 0:32:41.720 --> 0:32:44.440 the last few years thinking that could happen. And I 0:32:44.480 --> 0:32:47.040 think it's gonna be ugly. And it doesn't help that. 0:32:47.120 --> 0:32:49.080 You know, you want to drum up interests, getting excitement, 0:32:49.120 --> 0:32:51.040 and they're like our guy that just bit the cats there, 0:32:51.080 --> 0:32:53.320 they're under the blankets over there, being quiet, not putting 0:32:53.320 --> 0:32:56.840 out anything. There's very little marketing to get anyone excited 0:32:56.880 --> 0:32:58.880 because you know Stoops said he don't want to create 0:32:58.880 --> 0:33:02.000 headlines or set a high bar. I think that's shooting 0:33:02.040 --> 0:33:04.200 themselves in the foot. Then you add, you know, we've 0:33:04.200 --> 0:33:07.840 seen people complain about parking and ticket prices had gone up. 0:33:07.880 --> 0:33:09.680 That was a big issue when that first came out. 0:33:09.760 --> 0:33:12.920 I just think it's it's gonna be. You think it's 0:33:12.960 --> 0:33:16.560 gonna be like like, let's say Game one. You know, 0:33:16.600 --> 0:33:19.280 over the years, even when we've stunk, Game one is 0:33:19.360 --> 0:33:22.560 close to full because people are excited. Is Game one 0:33:22.640 --> 0:33:23.280 gonna be full? 0:33:25.080 --> 0:33:26.840 Close to full? I think a lot of people will 0:33:26.880 --> 0:33:28.360 still just buy a ticket. 0:33:28.400 --> 0:33:30.200 You'll be able to get there's I hate to say, 0:33:30.200 --> 0:33:32.000 there's not really a point in getting season tickets in 0:33:32.000 --> 0:33:33.920 a year where there's not much interest. You can get 0:33:33.920 --> 0:33:35.920 them day of for nothing. I think people will still 0:33:35.920 --> 0:33:37.960 go and make days out of it early on, but 0:33:38.000 --> 0:33:39.760 as the year goes on, nobody wants to make that 0:33:39.840 --> 0:33:42.200 commitment for a whole year because they I think everyone 0:33:42.240 --> 0:33:43.720 sees the writing on the wall of what the record 0:33:43.760 --> 0:33:44.320 could be the show. 0:33:44.320 --> 0:33:47.200 I mean, you could see a scenario, Ryan where that 0:33:47.360 --> 0:33:51.080 third game gives you your real indication. Right, everybody shows 0:33:51.120 --> 0:33:52.720 up for the first game because it's a first game. 0:33:52.760 --> 0:33:55.400 Then they play Old Miss in the second game, people 0:33:55.400 --> 0:33:57.360 will be But then that third game where they play 0:33:57.360 --> 0:33:59.360 Eastern Michigan after they've just been there. 0:33:59.200 --> 0:34:02.400 For two straight weeks, if the product. 0:34:01.960 --> 0:34:04.640 Against Old Miss is poor, you could see a scenario 0:34:04.680 --> 0:34:07.280 where in that third game it's not a great situation. 0:34:07.400 --> 0:34:09.879 Yeah, I and Andrew's right. I think that first game there'll 0:34:09.880 --> 0:34:11.680 be a good crowd. You know, we'll tuck ourselves into 0:34:11.680 --> 0:34:13.399 it this summer. Then we're gonna be good and be better. 0:34:13.680 --> 0:34:16.439 But the Toledo's tough man. You can't. You can't lose 0:34:16.480 --> 0:34:18.640 that game and then don't miss that second game. You're right. 0:34:18.680 --> 0:34:21.040 If you start the season rough like that, the crowd's 0:34:21.040 --> 0:34:22.759 gonna check out. They're kind of hanging by a thread 0:34:22.800 --> 0:34:24.160 right now, and I think they're gonna check out if 0:34:24.160 --> 0:34:25.040 they don't play well. 0:34:25.080 --> 0:34:27.520 If you want a positive though, Shannon Good, seats are 0:34:27.560 --> 0:34:28.200 still available. 0:34:29.040 --> 0:34:31.640 If you want to be a first time season ticket holder. 0:34:32.000 --> 0:34:36.120 Now as you're chaying, probably get the best season ticket 0:34:36.200 --> 0:34:38.239 you ever thought you could get this year. 0:34:38.640 --> 0:34:42.080 Beating a miss is a tough assignment. But they cannot 0:34:42.080 --> 0:34:44.279 have what they did with South Carolina Week two last year. 0:34:44.320 --> 0:34:45.280 We just got smoked. 0:34:45.400 --> 0:34:45.680 Smoke. 0:34:45.760 --> 0:34:47.239 You cannot get destroyed there. 0:34:47.280 --> 0:34:47.720 You can't. 0:34:47.800 --> 0:34:49.160 It's gonna be very, very important. 0:34:49.200 --> 0:34:52.160 Hey, you wouldn't skip halftime adjustments, right, No, So don't 0:34:52.160 --> 0:34:54.200 skip your skin check. We were at the Kentucky Skin 0:34:54.320 --> 0:34:57.520 Cancer Center and they have your back, your arms, your face, 0:34:57.600 --> 0:34:59.719 your neck, all of it. We all got facials and 0:34:59.760 --> 0:35:01.919 that was great, But I also saw people who came 0:35:01.960 --> 0:35:05.399 to the show getting checked for skin cancer, and that's 0:35:05.400 --> 0:35:08.799 a great thing for them. Uh, and hopefully you could 0:35:08.800 --> 0:35:11.320 do that as well. Go to the Kentucky Skin Cancer Center. 0:35:11.360 --> 0:35:14.960 They have it in Bowling Green Owensboro, Powderly, which I 0:35:14.960 --> 0:35:17.400 didn't know was a town, but I do now, Franklin. 0:35:17.800 --> 0:35:20.200 It's the way to make sure if you have any 0:35:20.640 --> 0:35:22.880 skin cancer issues, you could get them taken care of early, 0:35:23.120 --> 0:35:25.440 or just get yourself pampered a little bit with the 0:35:25.440 --> 0:35:29.040 facial et cetera. Go to the Kentucky Skin Cancer Center 0:35:29.120 --> 0:35:32.120 today all around western Kentucky. 0:35:32.160 --> 0:35:33.319 I really enjoyed that, did you? 0:35:33.320 --> 0:35:34.320 Did you like when they. 0:35:34.440 --> 0:35:36.279 Did all the stuff? You can't wait to get another one? 0:35:36.320 --> 0:35:37.240 That was awesome. 0:35:37.440 --> 0:35:38.440 I'd never had one before. 0:35:38.600 --> 0:35:42.080 You not like that, that one with the little micros 0:35:42.160 --> 0:35:44.600 and the little machine like you? 0:35:45.239 --> 0:35:45.480 Did you? 0:35:45.600 --> 0:35:48.600 Did you? I got home, people are like, you're glowing, 0:35:48.760 --> 0:35:50.120 and I said, well, thank you very much. 0:35:50.200 --> 0:35:51.640 We'll take a break, be right back. 0:35:51.680 --> 0:35:52.280 It's KISR. 0:35:54.120 --> 0:35:55.600 Welcome back, Tuck you sports radio. 0:35:56.080 --> 0:35:58.520 Uh text machine seven seven two seven seven four five 0:35:58.560 --> 0:36:02.960 two five four. One person tells me, Uh, Powderly, Kentucky 0:36:03.080 --> 0:36:07.160 is where Roscoe P. Coletrane is from. Really from the 0:36:07.239 --> 0:36:11.480 Duke's James Best, James Best, wait to know the names, Shannon. 0:36:11.600 --> 0:36:13.600 I've been pressed, how in the world did you know that? 0:36:13.840 --> 0:36:15.279 I was a big fan of that show? And then 0:36:15.320 --> 0:36:17.520 you know he was on the Andy Griffiths Show a 0:36:17.520 --> 0:36:17.759 couple of. 0:36:17.760 --> 0:36:21.080 Years he was on Andriffins show. You're right, one person writes, Matt, 0:36:21.400 --> 0:36:24.760 Let's say all of your co hosts and KSR people 0:36:24.960 --> 0:36:28.720 were had been drinking, which one would you trust most 0:36:28.760 --> 0:36:32.560 to put on the air. Oh that's a good question, 0:36:34.080 --> 0:36:38.600 all right, So I'm gonna assume you three, Mario and 0:36:38.640 --> 0:36:42.160 Billy have all been Who would I put on the air? 0:36:42.200 --> 0:36:45.040 I think I would trust Mario the most because he 0:36:45.040 --> 0:36:48.640 would just giggle and point, which wouldn't necessarily be good radio. 0:36:48.760 --> 0:36:51.080 But I don't think he would say something offensive, Like 0:36:51.120 --> 0:36:55.400 you don't really curse very much either, very rarely. You 0:36:55.400 --> 0:36:57.160 don't really say anything of it. So I would trust 0:36:57.239 --> 0:36:59.800 you the most. He gets really curious and ask questions 0:36:59.800 --> 0:37:01.040 more than he's Yeah. 0:37:00.880 --> 0:37:02.560 You just you just don't stop talking. 0:37:02.640 --> 0:37:04.880 You just don't shut up. That's exactly right, you just 0:37:05.000 --> 0:37:07.880 talk non stop. But that's not bad for it. 0:37:08.040 --> 0:37:09.040 You can do a two hour show. 0:37:09.239 --> 0:37:13.760 I would say second would be Drew because he's used 0:37:13.800 --> 0:37:14.160 to it. 0:37:14.560 --> 0:37:16.560 I would just talk about Gilly and how nice he is. 0:37:17.440 --> 0:37:22.040 And then I would say Shannon is probably third. I 0:37:22.239 --> 0:37:26.080 would not trust Billy, and I definitely would not trust wrong. 0:37:27.040 --> 0:37:30.759 Ryan goes from person I probably trust the most with 0:37:30.920 --> 0:37:35.280 the show to person I trust the least with the show. 0:37:35.480 --> 0:37:39.640 I agree when drinking, I put myself last. Also, I'm 0:37:39.640 --> 0:37:43.319 putting Tumosa, Billy and Chatty Patty Mario down there with me, 0:37:43.320 --> 0:37:47.360 though I don't want those guys on DA. But Mario 0:37:47.400 --> 0:37:48.319 doesn't say anything bad. 0:37:48.360 --> 0:37:51.040 He just doesn't shut up winnate, which is so weird 0:37:51.080 --> 0:37:53.520 because he's the quietest of us in real life. 0:37:53.640 --> 0:37:55.120 He would talk to the commercial breaks. 0:37:55.200 --> 0:37:57.560 Oh, he's all over the amount of people that have 0:37:57.600 --> 0:38:00.400 written in during the break and told me that they 0:38:00.400 --> 0:38:01.880 didn't renew their season tickets. 0:38:02.360 --> 0:38:04.680 Wow, I don't get nearly as many texts as you 0:38:04.719 --> 0:38:05.240 and I've gotten. 0:38:05.760 --> 0:38:08.720 Had The price has gone up, also, I think just barely. 0:38:08.760 --> 0:38:11.680 If all well, there's one less game they have, Yeah, 0:38:11.719 --> 0:38:12.640 that's right, that's right. 0:38:12.719 --> 0:38:15.399 It's the it's there's one less game, same price, same 0:38:15.440 --> 0:38:16.240 one less game. 0:38:16.120 --> 0:38:17.160 Same price, one less game. 0:38:17.320 --> 0:38:20.360 But it seems there's a lot of complaining about RV parking. 0:38:20.400 --> 0:38:22.120 I don't know if it's priced or if they've changed, 0:38:22.120 --> 0:38:23.680 But a lot of people that would bust in and 0:38:23.840 --> 0:38:25.520 do the whole big set up and make a weekend 0:38:25.560 --> 0:38:25.920 out of it. 0:38:26.080 --> 0:38:27.520 I've heard from a lot of them too. 0:38:27.440 --> 0:38:31.239 You know. At the end of the day, joker, I mean, 0:38:31.320 --> 0:38:34.080 I think I think it was fifty to fifty him 0:38:34.200 --> 0:38:38.440 going any either way. And then the Vandy game, the 0:38:38.480 --> 0:38:41.680 attendance ended it fair and the performance we lost forty 0:38:41.719 --> 0:38:46.120 to nothing. You know, you do wonder if they if 0:38:46.120 --> 0:38:48.880 the wheels fall off this year, if you get a 0:38:48.920 --> 0:38:52.960 similar result in terms of you know, I mean, I 0:38:53.000 --> 0:38:54.880 hate to say this because I want to be optimistic. 0:38:54.960 --> 0:38:56.759 I still think. I do think the football team's going 0:38:56.800 --> 0:38:59.719 to be better. Is the record going to be significantly better? 0:38:59.719 --> 0:39:01.560 I don't know, but I do think the team's going 0:39:01.600 --> 0:39:05.960 to be better. But I do think the program is 0:39:06.160 --> 0:39:12.600 entering that phase. My example would be imagine Cow's last year. 0:39:13.560 --> 0:39:16.600 If we didn't have Reed Shepherd and Rob Dillingham coming 0:39:16.640 --> 0:39:21.640 into the year, imagine that left because they brought energy 0:39:21.760 --> 0:39:23.680 right like they brought like, oh there's a kid. And 0:39:23.719 --> 0:39:25.680 then the first game or two when Reid was like oh, 0:39:25.760 --> 0:39:30.240 Reed's for real. Then the team kind of got some energy. 0:39:30.440 --> 0:39:32.840 That's kind of what I Let's imagine that team was 0:39:32.920 --> 0:39:37.839 DJ Wagner, Justin Edwards, Aaron Bradshaw, Antonio Reeves is the centerpieces. 0:39:39.160 --> 0:39:41.879 That's kind of what I feel like that is happening here. 0:39:42.040 --> 0:39:44.440 I think it's a great comparison. Actually, I mean I 0:39:44.520 --> 0:39:47.080 keep saying it. They lost sixteen starters from last year's 0:39:47.120 --> 0:39:49.759 team that didn't win a home SEC game, and this 0:39:49.880 --> 0:39:53.000 year your home SEC games are Texas, Florida, Tennessee and 0:39:53.040 --> 0:39:54.080 Ole miss. 0:39:53.719 --> 0:39:56.080 Easy and it hurts them. 0:39:56.120 --> 0:39:58.240 There's so many new pieces, and they needed new pieces, 0:39:58.239 --> 0:40:00.279 but it's hard to get excited about them when no 0:40:00.320 --> 0:40:02.439 one has a clue what they'll actually look like until 0:40:02.440 --> 0:40:03.040 they get on the foe. 0:40:03.080 --> 0:40:08.400 Objectively, and I'm fine saying this. Look, I support Mark Stoops. 0:40:08.719 --> 0:40:12.160 I want it to work. I like Mark Stoops and 0:40:12.400 --> 0:40:14.960 but I'm gonna call it as I see it. But 0:40:15.080 --> 0:40:18.120 I do like him, and I do think you know. 0:40:18.680 --> 0:40:20.760 I do like him. 0:40:20.800 --> 0:40:24.520 With that said, objectively speaking, they. 0:40:24.320 --> 0:40:27.279 Do a terrible job of marketing this. The fact that 0:40:27.880 --> 0:40:30.920 we didn't know how cool Maxwell Harriston was until the 0:40:31.040 --> 0:40:34.439 draft is that's a UK should look in the mirror 0:40:34.480 --> 0:40:37.759 and got amongst all these stars at the NFL Draft, 0:40:37.800 --> 0:40:42.120 including Shador Sanders and all these guys. Maxwell Harston, who 0:40:42.200 --> 0:40:45.320 was picked at the bottom of the first round, objectively 0:40:45.400 --> 0:40:48.120 won the night. He was on the Good Morning America, 0:40:48.200 --> 0:40:50.640 he was on the Today Show, he was in this 0:40:50.760 --> 0:40:52.919 city and none of us knew that about him. 0:40:54.239 --> 0:40:55.720 That's a failure in marketing. 0:40:55.960 --> 0:40:58.120 He should have been the face of the program, right, 0:40:58.360 --> 0:41:01.440 He should have been the guy that had everybody excited 0:41:01.520 --> 0:41:04.040 because he had such a great personality and he was 0:41:04.560 --> 0:41:07.200 and it didn't happen. And Ryan, that to me is 0:41:07.239 --> 0:41:09.440 a failure in connecting with your fans. 0:41:09.520 --> 0:41:11.440 And they knew come into the season he was gonna be, 0:41:11.520 --> 0:41:13.719 you know, all sec Carabel player because he had a 0:41:13.719 --> 0:41:14.480 great year last year. 0:41:14.480 --> 0:41:18.040 But if the nation connected with him and we didn't 0:41:18.080 --> 0:41:20.959 in the state, yeah, we were learning with everyone else. 0:41:21.120 --> 0:41:21.880 That's a problem. 0:41:22.640 --> 0:41:23.680 Is that's a problem. 0:41:23.760 --> 0:41:27.040 I mean, like the idea that this dude, I mean 0:41:27.080 --> 0:41:29.920 literally there were tiktoks from like all these people who 0:41:29.920 --> 0:41:32.399 don't even care about football being like, what what an 0:41:32.440 --> 0:41:34.600 amazing You know the fact that we didn't know that 0:41:34.760 --> 0:41:36.720 is a failure in marketing your product. 0:41:37.080 --> 0:41:40.160 It just is, and this year the whole roster is unknown. 0:41:40.160 --> 0:41:42.600 I mean, there's some guys that are back, but the 0:41:42.640 --> 0:41:44.360 last few years you at least had a Dane and 0:41:44.360 --> 0:41:46.720 a Baryon and some returning pieces you get excited about, 0:41:46.760 --> 0:41:51.200 like the brand new quarterback from Incarnate Word, Dante Daldel, 0:41:51.239 --> 0:41:52.719 who should be a good running back, but we don't 0:41:52.760 --> 0:41:54.240 know the receiving rooms hardly. 0:41:54.280 --> 0:41:55.000 Gilmore's back. 0:41:55.120 --> 0:41:57.319 There's there's really not a lot of guys where you're like, well, 0:41:57.360 --> 0:41:58.879 I'm excited to go out there and watch him because 0:41:58.920 --> 0:42:00.280 I know he's there. 0:42:00.480 --> 0:42:01.520 There's just so many on there. 0:42:01.880 --> 0:42:06.279 Ever been a team, certainly since the Joker era, but 0:42:06.400 --> 0:42:09.840 maybe even before that. Our fans will know less about 0:42:10.840 --> 0:42:15.640 I mean, and they're not gonna know, right, So I'm 0:42:15.640 --> 0:42:18.520 not surprised, unfortunately, that that's what it is with the 0:42:18.520 --> 0:42:19.160 season tickets. 0:42:19.160 --> 0:42:20.120 All right, we're gonna take a break. 0:42:20.160 --> 0:42:23.200 We are here at Ks Bar and grill New Catfish coming, 0:42:23.480 --> 0:42:25.840 wait hungry and uh, come on out and see us. 0:42:25.880 --> 0:42:27.879 We'll take a break.
