As soon as we get 86 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 3: post Halloween, I'm all in on Christmas. But December just 87 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 3: flew by. Man, It just it feels like we snapped 88 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 3: our fingers and it's here. So I'm trying to figure 89 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 3: out that's why I'm wearing what I'm wearing today, just 90 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 3: because I'm trying to force myself into just the you know, 91 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 3: a dramatic, exaggerated version of my fastus self because I'm 92 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 3: not feeling it doesn't feel like it's forty eight hours away. 93 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 2: Less than forty eight hours away. Now your little boys 94 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 2: will be getting up going crazy at six am in 95 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 2: the morning. Casana came to the house. Man, that's a 96 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 2: special time on you got little ones at the house. 97 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 3: This is the first Christmas that Billy, my two year old, 98 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 3: grasps it. Understand. We walk around the neighborhood and he 99 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 3: sees all the Oh, there's Big Santa, there's the Nutcracker, 100 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 3: there's the Polar Bear. Like he is getting obsessed with 101 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 3: all of the decoration. So that's definitely added. When you 102 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 3: get older as a kid, it's the most magical thing 103 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 3: in the world. And then once you get kind of 104 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 3: you know, twenties and thirties, it you know, kind of 105 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 3: lose some of that magic and then the kids bring 106 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 3: it right back. So I very much enjoyed just the 107 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 3: magic pind of this year. 108 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 2: And then there's people like me that I have to 109 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 2: go shopping after the postgame show because I still have 110 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 2: stuff I have to buy. My parents are coming down 111 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 2: this afternoon and I have not bought them anything.

I think 114 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 2: it's the same way. We're out tonight and tomorrow on 115 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 2: Christmas Eve, finishing up. 116 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 3: I have a couple of things that I see. My 117 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 3: wife just does a great such a great job with 118 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 3: hitting every cousin and aunt and uncle and grandpa and 119 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 3: grandma like she does all of the immediate family for me, 120 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 3: like she mean, she does it back in November. She's 121 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 3: so prepared. But I still have to do my own 122 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 3: personal some some of those things that I you know, 123 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 3: I'm I'm the procrastinator. She's definitely the early bird. 124 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 2: So since we're gonna get into basketball during the pregame show, 125 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 2: I ask you some other questions. Did we able to 126 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 2: watch the volleyball tournament on Sunday? 127 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 3: Man? I did? It just sucked? You know, it just 128 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 3: sucked how they won on Thursday. It kind of felt like, Okay, 129 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 3: well they got the ugly. You know, got knocked the 130 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 3: rust off. You know, the big moment was it felt 131 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 3: a little big on Thursday. In that first one, it 132 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 3: gets Wisconsin, but they overcame it, and all right, well, 133 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 3: now you're taking on a team that you've already beaten 134 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 3: and you can feel good and hopefully bring itchampionship back 135 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 3: to Lexington. And then just came out flat self inflicted 136 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 3: errors over and over and over again. You felt, okay, well, 137 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,799 Speaker 3: just got the ugly first set behind us, that'll be fine. 138 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 3: And it kind of felt like M got the momentum 139 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 3: and said, oh well, this stuff is sweet, like we 140 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 3: can not only beat them but kind of dominate them, 141 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 3: and just never were able to respond. And it's just 142 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 3: it sucks. It doesn't take away from the magic that 143 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 3: was the season. I watched more volleyball this season than 144 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 3: I ever have. It was so fun watching this team 145 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 3: and rallying where around these girls. But I wish they 146 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 3: got it across the finish line. 147 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 2: It's like after they they jumped out of that first 148 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 2: lead in the first set, and once Texas A and M 149 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 2: caught them and then won that first set, it's like 150 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 2: they were never the same after that. They just didn't recover. 151 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 2: Like you said, hitting serves out of bounds, hitting serves 152 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 2: into the net, returns easy returns, hitting them out of bounds. 153 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 2: There was just like they just were thrown off a 154 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 2: little bit. 155 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 3: It seemed like momentum is just so real in volleyball, 156 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 3: where it's just one point turns into three and turns 157 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 3: into five, and once it just kind of get unravels. 158 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 3: It's really hard to kind of put the toothpaste back 159 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 3: in the back in the tube. So they've done a 160 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 3: great job eight and one and on the year up 161 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 3: to that point and in matches where you fall behind 162 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 3: one one to oh, so that this is a kind 163 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 3: of comeback cat team. But they just they just didn't 164 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 3: have it. You know, sometimes you just got to give 165 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 3: credit where it's doe Texas A and M to steam 166 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 3: roll the entire field, and you know sometimes that happens. 167 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 3: It's that was the team of destiny and unfortunately it 168 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 3: wasn't wasn't Kentucky. 169 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 2: Well it's like you said, it's still a great season, 170 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 2: face national runner up.

Now they 341 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 2: had four seniors and with Farmer committing to the NFL, 342 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 2: going to the NFL, they've lost all five of them. 343 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 2: And they hardly played anybody in uh and in rotation 344 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 2: at all. I mean, they've got to That's one thing 345 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 2: that's got me in his Christmas list. 346 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 3: I think there's gonna be a lot of presents under 347 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 3: the tree, Like I think, I think we need to 348 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 3: understand that this is a total reset. I yeah, I 349 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 3: was more selfishly talking about the the explosion of the 350 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 3: will Stein offense and getting carried away in that regard 351 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 3: that I just personally want to see selfishly want to see, 352 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 3: uh a superstar wide receiver, but uh A resetting the 353 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 3: offensive line room is is make or break for year 354 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 3: one for will Stein. So that's probably that that needed 355 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 3: to be. Like the like pre Christmas like that was Thanksgiving, 356 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 3: like we gotta we gotta set the foundation there and 357 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 3: then Christmas is kind of you know where you can 358 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 3: get get a little selfish there. So yeah, I think 359 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 3: those are priorities ABC D through Z. 360 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 2: What is on Mitch Barnhardt's Christmas list? 361 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 3: Probably for me to shut up probably if I had 362 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 3: I guess just you know, I don't know. I think that's. 363 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 2: Definitely wants a winning season for football, or definitely or 364 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 2: only some success in the football, And this is his hire, 365 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 2: you know, will Stein's his maybe his legacy. 366 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 3: Higher, and I think a turnaround to get because also 367 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 3: the mark Pope higher was his legacy higher as well. Ye, 368 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 3: he needs this thing to turn around and continue to 369 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 3: build upon what we've seen work over the last two 370 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 3: weeks for this Kentucky basketball team as well. We kind 371 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 3: of heard him unfiltered a little bit on the show 372 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 3: that the last one I was on pre Indiana, where 373 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 3: he talked about just kind of the you know, hey, 374 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 3: you know, the money is where it needs to be. 375 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 3: We like the foundation with JMI and you know, the 376 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 3: deals that were able to secure, but it's up to 377 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 3: the coaches to build rosters that are going to compete. 378 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 3: It wasn't a shot at Pope, but it was like 379 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 3: a hey, we are holding up our end of the bargain, Pope. 380 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 3: Now it's on you to make sure that the twenty 381 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 3: two million dollar roster you put together as a championship 382 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 3: quality one. So I think seeing I bet Mitch Barnhart 383 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 3: was just as excited as anybody to see Jaden Quainton's debut, 384 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 3: to see that vision maybe come together a little bit 385 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 3: more clearly. 386 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 2: You know, it seems like they're the attitude of Big 387 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 2: Blue Nation definitely has changed after beating Indiana and beating 388 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 2: Saint John's because it was as much as low as 389 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 2: it's been in a long time after the Gonzaga loss, 390 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 2: and you were there, you witnessed it. Crowd was into it, 391 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 2: electric loud, and they just got waxed. 392 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 3: And that's there are two extremes with this because that 393 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 3: product was totally inexcusable, totally unacceptable. That was a losing 394 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 3: brand of basketball. I don't care who was in, who 395 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 3: was out, who was hurt, who was available, I don't 396 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 3: care that effort, the passion, the want to all of 397 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 3: those things. When you have DeMarcus Cousins publicly tweeting, these 398 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 3: guys don't have I know what Hart looks like playing 399 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 3: for the University of Kentucky. These guys don't have it. 400 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 3: When you're publicly called out by a legend like that, 401 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 3: and you have Mark Pope at the podium saying, hey, 402 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,719 Speaker 3: I'm a former player too, and I'd be mad at 403 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 3: the coach if you know right now as well. So 404 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 3: when you hit rock bottom in that way, not just 405 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 3: the score, but the how they got there compared to 406 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 3: what has made these last two games so enjoyable with 407 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 3: the passion and the diving for loose balls and you know, 408 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 3: crashing the offensive glass and just playing hard, tough basketball. 409 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,239 Speaker 3: It's that they're easy to root for. Again, so you know, 410 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 3: got to meet in the middle somewhere. It's probably not 411 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 3: sustainable to play this style of basketball. You gotta make 412 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 3: shots eventually, but you also just can't play a losing 413 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 3: brand the way that we saw leading up to this 414 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 3: little little stretch. 415 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 2: And you're the guy that asked a question the DeMarcus 416 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,679 Speaker 2: Cousins quote, You're the one and asked that, kudos to you, 417 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 2: by the way, Well. 418 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 3: It's it's the the idea that that that generation of 419 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 3: player was known as that, oh, these guys don't care 420 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 3: about the school. They they only care about being here 421 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 3: for eight months and making you know, nowadays it's being 422 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 3: here for eight months and making as much money as 423 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 3: you can win n IL before going to the draft. 424 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 3: But for their generation of kids, it was I'm using 425 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 3: this program as a stepping stool to get to the NBA. 426 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 3: And the old generation of Kentucky and viewed that as like, oh, 427 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 3: that's not real. You know, they don't care about the 428 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 3: name on the front. They only care about the name 429 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 3: on the back. That guy is saying that these guys 430 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 3: didn't care for his program. You know, it was kind 431 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 3: of ironic and kind of a full circle moment that 432 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 3: I think that was. That was pretty revealing. I was 433 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 3: pretty telling when when a guy like DeMarcus Cousins, a 434 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,400 Speaker 3: fan favorite in the one and Done era, is saying 435 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 3: that these guys don't have heart. 436 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 2: Draft Kings big sponsor of Kentucky Ports Radio as well, 437 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:24,679 Speaker 2: and I'm gonna go over some Draft Kings Odds day. 438 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 2: You teo what you think Kentucky Overbellman is a thirty 439 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 2: five and a half point favorite. 440 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 3: Hammer it, baby, yeah, hammer it. Feel good about this one. 441 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,679 Speaker 2: We'll get into it more. But as Jalen Low play today. 442 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 3: He did not practice yesterday and there's no shoot around today. 443 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 3: So I'm just my educated guest here is that they 444 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 3: will correctly make the decision to hold him out. I 445 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 3: would wrap him in bubble wrap and shove him away 446 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 3: as keep him away from the basketball floor practice, do 447 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 3: not let him get touched for the next fourteen days. 448 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,919 Speaker 3: Just just leave him be. We saw plenty in this 449 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 3: second half against Saint John's. Keep him health, Keeping him 450 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 3: healthy is probabority number one from our pope. 451 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 2: Why not, like you said, there's a big drought now 452 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 2: before they play Alabama again, there's you know they playing 453 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 2: what January third or. 454 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 3: Fourteen day gap between Saint John's and so Wild. 455 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 2: Why not why not just sit him right now against 456 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 2: Bellerman and let that shoulder he heel up because it's 457 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 2: going to get bumped again once the SEC starts you. 458 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,120 Speaker 3: This is touch and go this, I mean you're going 459 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 3: to have to delicately, delicately handle Jalen Low the rest 460 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,199 Speaker 3: of the season. H Pope said last night and as 461 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 3: Collin show, that he does expect Jalen to be available 462 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,680 Speaker 3: the rest of the season like that. He doesn't think 463 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 3: that this is something that's gonna linger and it's gonna 464 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 3: take him off the floor at some point. He thinks 465 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,360 Speaker 3: that they can manage this, which I'm all in on. 466 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 3: But you gotta be able to manage it. You got 467 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 3: to be able to pick and choose the ad as 468 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,959 Speaker 3: needed spots with Jalen Low. You can't just throw him 469 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 3: out there and say, hey, thirty five minutes a game, buddy, 470 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 3: go go let her rip like pick and choose your 471 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 3: spots when to use this very very valuable tool for 472 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 3: your team. 473 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 2: So you say, hammer the over at thirty five and 474 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 2: a half on Draftking, the over under is one fifty 475 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 2: six and a half. Oh, I'm going I think Kentucky 476 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 2: will score a lot of points. Will Will Bellerman score 477 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 2: enough points to get over the get over the over? 478 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 3: Well, and I don't want to share my secrets for 479 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 3: the pregame show, but I'm picking a big, big win 480 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:23,679 Speaker 3: that doesn't involve Kentucky's scoring enough points to make However, 481 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 3: many Bellerman scores not matter as much, so I'm still 482 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 3: slamming the over on that one. 483 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 2: That Kentucky may hit one hundred. So will Bellerman get 484 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 2: fifty fifty five?
