Speaker 3: bring this guy here. For him to be doing this,

121
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 3: it's really a blessing for our football team and for

122
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 3: our university and for the state. I mean, people can

123
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 3: actually see this guy in a closed, private.

124
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 2: Small environment. So let me ask you. Let me ask

125
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 2: you a question. Man, So we for when the NIL

126
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 2: thing started. I think I asked you, do you think

127
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 2: there is enough in terms of donor resources for Kentucky

128
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 2: football to compete? Is there enough out there? And you

129
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 2: said something like I hope. So it's now been two

130
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 2: and a half three years, do you and you've got

131
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 2: this now coming? Do you feel better about that than

132
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 2: you did two and a half years ago?

133
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 3: I really do. I think once people uh understood what

134
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 3: NIO was and I got to be you know, I

135
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 3: got to be honest, our administration from mitch On down

136
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 3: really joined to help us do this. Like you know,

137
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 3: once once you were educating and see. So if you

138
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 3: actually made a question, yes, I already believe. I go around

139
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 3: town a lot and people ask me like, man, how

140
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 3: do we how can we give to the collective? And

141
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 3: people are doing a lot of different things. There's a

142
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 3: lot of people in this town that's doing things where

143
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 3: you say, hey, this thing making work, and I do

144
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 3: believe we got the right support. This will just kick

145
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 3: it off to raise the add what other people are doing.

146
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 3: Because as you know, Matt, if you did your homework

147
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 3: and people do their homework, there's a lot of other

148
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 3: schools raising money. Like I just seen texts about Behal.

149
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 3: I'm a guy who this country guy is, but he's

150
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 3: doing a concert for them. So Georgia has somebody do

151
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 3: a concert. So yes, I think it's our appreciation to say, hey,

152
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 3: we want to give you John Legend, I would fly

153
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 3: over the country to go have a private a private

154
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 3: concert with John Legend. When I've seen him at his

155
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 3: mom's birthday partner he just performed four songs on like

156
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,239
Speaker 3: a little keyboard and I was like, Wow, this guy's

157
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 3: better than what the songs even say.

158
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 2: The question I know Ryan wants to ask, which is

159
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 2: will you let Ryan in man?

160
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think Ryan he maybe he could, like,

161
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 3: I don't know, hold up a tent or something in

162
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 3: a back.

163
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll serve drinks, I'll pick up trash, whatever it takes. Coach,

164
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 5: I'm in.

165
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 3: You know. It's funny because people were saying, even some

166
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 3: of the people that work in her building, it was like, man,

167
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 3: I just want to stand in the back just to

168
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 3: hear them, just to see them. I mean, like I say,

169
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 3: I've been around, I've seen people. I'm telling you, Matt,

170
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 3: when I've seen this guy for the first time, it

171
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 3: was like a serious man crush and like, Wow, I haven't.

172
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 2: Heard you talk about anybody like this. Man. It's like

173
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 2: you you definitely have a little a little man crush.

174
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 4: There's no doubt about that. You with for for John Legend.

175
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 2: You know, I I wanted to tell you I would,

176
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 2: I would be there. But I know you're proud of

177
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 2: her too. My mom's graduating from Dallas Theological sem and

178
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 2: Area that.

179
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,960

180
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 3: told me yes, and he asked me was I coming,

181
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 3: And I was like, uh, I got a big event

182
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 3: because I got that. And then my daughter graduates from college.

183
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 2: Yes, how about that he has that weekend, big weekend

184
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 2: from Murray State, Right, isn't that where your daughter.

185
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,719
Speaker 3: From Murray State graduating and then she's heading on a

186
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 3: medical school in Cincinnati.

187
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 4: Good for her ride?

188
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 2: All right, So tell me real quick about spring practice.

189
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 2: What's going on? You all have had what five or

190
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 2: six practices? How you like it? What you're seeing?

191
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 3: I'm really liking just, you know, on the offensive side

192
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 3: because you you look at the defense when you got connuity,

193
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 3: the staff being together and they got a lot of

194
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 3: guys return and you can see uh Brad's footprint in

195
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 3: that that Hey, it's it's a solid But where I'm

196
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 3: more imprecious with Bush of how the staff and the

197
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 3: players have picked up the offense so fast, and you

198
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 3: got to give credit to our players. They've been putting

199
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 3: the extra time and it's allowing us to install more

200
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 3: and more. You know, sometimes when you bring in a

201
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 3: new coach and you're trying to put his install one two,

202
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 3: then you're going to three and these guys are still

203
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 3: messing up on one and two. You're like, hey, we

204
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 3: need to slow this down. But you got to give

205
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 3: credit to our players. They are they have boughty in

206
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 3: they are. They are really putting in the time and

207
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 3: they're starting to show in practice. I'm really really excited

208
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 3: about this team.

209
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 2: I am so you like, So tell me about Bush.

210
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 2: I mean Bush hamd in, the new offensive coordinator. What

211
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 2: what will folks see from him?

212
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 3: I think what you're gonna see from Bush he just

213
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 3: more laid back, but a very smart man, very smart man,

214
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 3: and he's I think Bush. And it's not a knock

215
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 3: at Limb, because I love lim but I think Bush

216
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 3: wants to be in college. He's been in the NFL,

217
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 3: But I think Bush. You know, he's raising young kids

218
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 3: and he's I think just coming here. He was at

219
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 3: Boise and I don't think he thought about leaving him,

220
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 3: but then you know, coming here you can see already

221
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 3: his daughter's already in school, as oldest daughter's going to school.

222
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 3: Now he has two young kids. I think what people

223
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 3: gonna see from him is that he's more laid back.

224
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 3: He's attention to detail, but he's a smart man and

225
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 3: he knows how to call plays. But the thing I

226
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 3: love that I've seen probably already in three practices. You know,

227
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 3: you still got to coach coaches too, and I've just

228
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 3: seen how he knows how to get in with coaches

229
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 3: and really jail with them, but also picking up on

230
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 3: guys who are stars. He is really really connected with

231
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 3: these guys. And I just think, you know, you're gonna

232
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 3: see a guy that's you know, he's gonna call plays.

233
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 3: He's gonna be very laid back, but I think people

234
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 3: really gonna love with, you know, just the structure of

235
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 3: his offense or how you run a lot of emotions,

236
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 3: a lot of movement and all that. And we're gonna

237
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 3: play faster.

238
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 4: I like last question.

239
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 2: You know, the portal opens up what April seventeenth or

240
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 2: April twenty fourth, I do you remember? Do you are

241
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 2: you worried about losing guys to the portal? Are you

242
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 2: looking at adding guys in the portal? What will can

243
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 2: Kentucky be like in the portal this spring?

244
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 3: Well, it's kind of like the NFL, and he's like,

245
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 3: they're getting ready to draft. I really like the core

246
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 3: of our team. There's some things that we may say, hey,

247
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 3: if this guy becomes available, but I like and I

248
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 3: think Coach Steuts likes the core where this team is.

249
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 3: But you're never can say never. It's like, hey, if

250
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 3: somebody's available. It's like the draft. The draft say hey,

251
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna draft a receiver. I'm not gonna draft

252
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 3: a running back. And next thing you know, this running

253
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 3: back is available in the draft. That's really good. So

254
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 3: we're never gonna pass up on talent. But I just

255
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 3: really feel good where we're at right now with this roster.

256
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 3: Will we lose some people. I think we got a

257
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 3: lot of depth, Like even even on offense, I know

258
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 3: we got a lot of depth. And I know even

259
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 3: Bush was like, man, it's gonna be a lot of competition,

260
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 3: and so maybe somebody may but a lot of our

261
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 3: guys that we really want here. When I say that

262
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 3: we want on here, that's gonna be in the rotation

263
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 3: and play, we use it, don't We don't lose some

264
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 3: guys as much. But you know, it's another portal. I

265
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 3: just wish they had all these portals. I think, man,

266
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 3: every every month is another portal. So you just gotta

267
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 3: be You just got to be diligent of how you

268
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 3: want to be with your personnel. And like I said,

269
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 3: I think our roster is pretty good right now.

Speaker 5: And of course John Legend knew Vince's mom and dad.

282
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, we know why. We know why he's such a

283
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 1: great recruiter. If you can recruit John Legend, John.

Speaker 2: Hero hydration drink. Why are you laughing at that? You

287
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,440

289
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,199

00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 5: They want to like, thank you for trying to get

312
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 5: me in.

313
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 2: Though I was doing what I can, I knew you

314
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 2: know we're gonna have here in Lexington the same night.

315
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 2: I want you to think about Lexton, Kentucky, the same knight,

316
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 2: you will have Nigh Burgatzi, Pete Davidson, and John Legend

317
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 2: all in town the same evening. That's a lot of

318
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 2: people in this little college town. That's three big stars,

319
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 2: big stars in Lexington at the exact same moment.

320
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 6: Drew Franklin got to be in a couple of different

321
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 6: places at the same time.

322
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 2: Somehow, I mean, we could get them all to have

323
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 2: a round table here on the show, which rank and order?

324
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 4: How you'd want to see those three.

325
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 2: Legend Bargatzi, Davidson. What's your order? Let's say it costs

326
00:15:58,920 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 2: the same.

327
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 5: Oh, that's a great question. I would probably honestly say,

328
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 5: Nate Bergazzi one, John Legend two, Pete Davidson three.

329
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 6: I can tell you they do not cost the same

330
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 6: because I bought Bergazzi and Davidson and that was a

331
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 6: big gap. I bet the Legend gap is ten times that.

332
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: My worlder would be exactly what Ryan had. Bargozzi number one,

333
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: Legend two, Davidson three.

334
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 2: See, I'm actually I've seen at Nate a bunch. He

335
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 2: would be first in theory, but I think I'm probably

336
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 2: gonna have seen what he is. Uh, Huh, that's right.

337
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna say Legend one, Davidson two.

338
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 5: What Bart?

339
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 2: Because I've seen Bargatzi a bunch, I'd say three if

340
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 2: it was if I hadn't seen Bargozzi would be one.

341
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 2: But that's the way, and I would do what about you.

342
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 6: I'm living this predicament, and I've left it in my

343
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 6: wife's hands because it's her birthday night, so I can't

344
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 6: make the call. But it's tough. If it were a

345
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 6: John Legend concert that just anyone could go to, i'd

346
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 6: pick Bergazzi. But I mean, you're talking about a private concert.

347
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 6: You gotta be rich to get into it. If I

348
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 6: found a side door, I think I would have to

349
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 6: pick that.

350
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, who's up next?

351
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: Shit, let's go to Anthony.

352
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 2: Anthony, go ahead, Anthy, Hey, how you doing, fellows?

353
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 7: Last night? I was listening to the postgame interviews after

354
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 7: the basketball games last night, and what I got out

355
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 7: of it was if you can't beat them, you better

356
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 7: join them, and talking about a change that coach Hurley

357
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 7: was talking about Connecticut and how he talked these guys

358
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 7: into staying and how he's got these older guys. And

359
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 7: I heard the analysts on the Clemson game talking about

360
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 7: these older guys. Man, you gotta have older guys if

361
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 7: you want to play for the big dns.

362
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 2: That's ol there is to it. Eight eighty starters in

363
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 2: the Sweet sixteen, only three of them are fresh. That's

364
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 2: I mean, that's it. There. I go like that, like

365
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 2: that's the whole thing. I appreciate the call. I mean,

366
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 2: that's the whole thing. So you're gonna have to get older,

367
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 2: whether you want to or not, if you want in

368
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 2: order to consistently win. Yukon right now is an insane story.

369
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 2: I mean, Yukon won the national championship last year. They've

370
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 2: won the first three games of the tournament this year.

371
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 2: That's nine games. You want to know the average margin

372
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 2: of victory in the nine games, six games from last

373
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 2: year in the three games this year, twenty two point two. Wow,

374
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 2: they have won nine straight games. There was somebody on

375
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 2: TV saying, uh, it was it was I think maybe

376
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 2: Steve Lapis or somebody said this is one of the

377
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 2: best college teams of all time. And that's hard for

378
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 2: me to say because most people listening to this probably

379
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 2: can't even name more than one person on the team.

380
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 2: But if I told you objectively that Yukon has a

381
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 2: chance to go back to back, even though there's different

382
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 2: personnel back to back and their average margin of victory

383
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 2: is twenty two point two points a game. At some

384
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 2: point you do have to say that's kind of amazing.

385
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,479
Speaker 2: I mean last year I kind of felt like Yukon

386
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 2: stole one even though they won those games by so much.

387
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 2: But this year they are the best team. Yeah, and

388
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 2: for someone to beat them, it will be a big upset, right.

389
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 5: I think they've been the best team all season coming

390
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 5: off that National champions and this.

391
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 2: Will be their sixth title if they win in less

392
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 2: than twenty in less than thirty years.

393
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 4: Six since we've had two. That's crazy.

394
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:18,959
Speaker 2: Six. I mean, they're gonna have a chance to have

395
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 2: six in thirty years.

396
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 5: I told you, man, Like kids like Josias A, they

397
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 5: think Yukon is what we look at North Carolina. That's

398
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 5: how they look at He was.

399
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 2: Their first one was their first one. That's six and

400
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 2: twenty five.

401
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 4: Yees, yeah, six since we have won two. That is nuts.

402
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 2: I mean six and twenty five years is like you know,

403
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 2: I mean, that's kind of I hate to say this

404
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 2: because I don't want to give yukon that credit. But

405
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 2: that's the second most impressive run since UCLA. If you

406
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 2: have six and twenty five years right and impressed.

407
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 6: I was gonna say they're just getting started with ten early.

408
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 6: I know they have six with three different coaches, and

409
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 6: he is just starting.

410
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 2: It's annoying, Connecticut. I mean it's annoying, Like I hope

411
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 2: they get beat but I don't know that. I think

412
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 2: they're going to. I mean, I don't know who's gonna

413
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 2: beat him. Who's next? Steve, Steve, what's up? Steve?

414
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 8: Hey, guys, I you know, I have comment about Caliperry

415
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 8: book that it's hard not to switch to football after

416
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 8: listing to Vince, and Vince needs to know flipping his

417
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 8: comment about Johdon Legend that when he walks in the room,

418
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 8: I want to know if I can touch him.

419
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 2: No, I mean there's a lot listen, Vince, there's net

420
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 2: Is there ever in the history of UK sports been

421
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 2: an assistant coach more.

422
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 5: Popular events assistant coach?

423
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 3: Now?

424
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 2: I don't think so. And that's that's really a testament.

425
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 2: I mean, he's my friend, but that's a testament to

426
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 2: him because like the fact that the way he's been

427
00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 2: not just a coach and a recruiter, but a p

428
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 2: are for the for the program is amazing. Go ahead, sir.

429
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 8: So the comment on Calipari is I was one of

430
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 8: those leaning in the camp of letting him go, and

431
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 8: but I understand the bringing him back hard decision. The

432
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 8: problem is, I think we're setting ourselves up for an

433
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 8: even harder decision because if going forward Calipari doesn't have

434
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 8: a clearly successful season or a clearly non successful season,

435
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 8: then what do you do? Because I think even the

436
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 8: Caliperi backers would agree that we've just come off of

437
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 8: four straight seasons of not meeting the standard.

438
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 2: I'm with you on that, to be fair, though, that's

439
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 2: also what we said about this year yet this year,

440
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 2: But yes, I think you know it's back to it

441
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 2: all coming down to next year. I think the difference though,

442
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 2: is now the administration agrees with the average fan, which

443
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 2: they didn't before. We'll take a break right back. T J. Smith,

491
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 2: Hurley said last night that he makes his wife clean

492
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,199
Speaker 2: his underwear before every game so he can wear the

493
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 2: same pair of underwear for every game. It's that weird.

494
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: Yes, I don't want to hear that. I mean, look,

495
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: we don't need to hear everything that goes on behind

496
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: the scenes. Some things are just better off left.

497
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 2: So let's talk about how he does that. Just practically,

498
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 2: they're in a different city for the game, she wears

499
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 2: the underwear on Thursday night? Does he take make his

500
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 2: wife go to the laundry mat and go clean his underwear? Like,

501
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 2: how does he? How does that work?

502
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: Maybe in the hotel coffee pot.

503
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 2: First of all, if I'm his wife, I'm like, I

504
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 2: didn't marry you to clean your underwear in between games?

505
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 4: Clean your I'm underwear less underwear. I'm not sure underwear cleaner.

506
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 2: I find his wife, I stand up and go, it's

507
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 2: your underwear. You deal with it. Is it weird to

508
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 2: have the superstition that you have to wear the same

509
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 2: underwear every game?

510
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, that's weird. I know a lot of people

511
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: do that.

512
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 4: A lot of players do that.

513
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 1: Baseball players are the most superstitious athletes out there, But

514
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: it's still strange.

515
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 2: Here's what I understand about superstition, like that, when he loses,

516
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 2: which he does sometimes, why doesn't that then change the superstition?

517
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 2: It clearly didn't work that.

518
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 4: Shit enough, I guess spotless underwear. It's weird. I know

519
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 4: a lot of people have superstitions.

520
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 2: I have my own.

521
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 6: I fully support supports superstitions. That was hard to say,

522
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 6: because I believe they change the outcome. But the same

523
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 6: pair of underwear in a tournament setting is odd?

524
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 2: Are you one person? Rights Matt online? Over the last

525
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 2: couple of days, a lot of people have been blaming

526
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 2: KSR writers for a do leaving. Do you think there's

527
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 2: anything to that? I now know what must be like

528
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 2: to be Biden or Trump in the sense of whatever

529
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:09,719
Speaker 2: happens in the world is all this magical power that

530
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 2: we have. First of all, I've never said one negative

531
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 2: word about a do Next to Antonio Reeves, he might

532
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 2: have been the player I had the most respect for

533
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 2: last year, just in terms of how hard he played.

534
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 2: So I don't I haven't had said anything. I'm fairly

535
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 2: certain you all haven't. I'm a big new fan. He's

536
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,239
Speaker 2: number two on my wish list. So I see here

537
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 2: and wonder where are these people? Like, where is this

538
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 2: stuff even coming from? Then I saw that a writer

539
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 2: on KSR, I've forgotten this. I guess he made some

540
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 2: criticism of Ado, and then a dude's dad responded. All

541
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 2: I would say about this is if I refuse to

542
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 2: believe there's any fan that at any point hasn't said

543
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 2: this player is doing X wrong. If you haven't, good

544
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 2: for you. But I don't think most has. But if

545
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 2: you want there to be any analysis of sports, you're

546
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 2: going to have to note when people don't play well,

547
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 2: right like you're gonna have to know. I don't know

548
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 2: how you can analyze sports without a sort of noting.

549
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 2: So part of me wants to look at a lot

550
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 2: of the folks that are our critics and go, what

551
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 2: do you want us to talk about? You have now

552
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 2: told me I have to be positive and say everything's

553
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 2: good no matter what, and that I have to say

554
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 2: all the players are playing well, no matter what. So

555
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 2: what do I do when we lose? Just go the

556
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 2: refs cheat?

557
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 4: You can't do that either, No across that one off. Also,

558
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,400
Speaker 4: we tried that avenue, So there's.

559
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 2: A part I just look, I this has become like

560
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 2: to where it doesn't even matter, and then it doesn't

561
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,439
Speaker 2: even what. There was a woman last night who I

562
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 2: was the game and she wrote, you said that a

563
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 2: dude faked his injury and I was like, I know,

564
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 2: I didn't say that. So I said, show me where

565
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 2: I said that, and she goes, well, no, it was

566
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 2: the writer's on KSR. Well, first of all, so Shannon,

567
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 2: it's already not me. So then I said, I don't

568
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 2: believe they said that. Either. Link me a story. She

569
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 2: links the story in which the article is just quoting

570
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 2: John cal Perry saying he's hurt. And I said, there's

571
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 2: nothing in here saying it's fake, and she responded, that's semantics.

572
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 2: First of all, do you know what the word semantics means?

573
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 2: And secondly, no, like now you're telling me we can't

574
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 2: even quote John Calipery. I don't know what people want.

575
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 2: I have been absolutely fascinated in these last few weeks

576
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 2: at the way people have just wanted to pass the

577
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 2: responsibility from a coach on to first of all, players,

578
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 2: The way people go, well, he can't make the shots

579
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 2: for him, he can't bawl, so yeah, let's not blame

580
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 2: the nine million dollar coach, let's blame the players. And

581
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 2: then to members of the media, it's like, is there

582
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 2: anything you think Calipari's responsible for anything at all? Isn't

583
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 2: it weird to you? Or am I not fairy weird?

584
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 6: I don't understand how some people will be like, man,

585
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 6: you're negative today, and I'm like, yeah, we lost a

586
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 6: basketball game last night. If they had one, I would

587
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 6: have been positive. It's directly correlated with the results of

588
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 6: Kentucky basketball.

589
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 2: I'm not.

590
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 6: I don't wake up and I'm like, I want to

591
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 6: be really negative today. I'm probably sad because we're not

592
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:41,959
Speaker 6: an NCAA tournament that day. That might be why I'm

593
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 6: not negative. I can't just get up here if we

594
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 6: lose in for two hours say boo ago to Billy Button.

595
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 2: And do you really believe that? I want to ask

596
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 2: people seriously, do you really believe that A do the

597
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 2: Arrow is choosing his college based on one tweet in

598
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 2: January from a with fifteen hundred followers on Twitter. You

599
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 2: really think that's how he's deciding his college? Hope not.

600
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 2: I love a dude. I'm certain that's not how he's

601
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:11,479
Speaker 2: choosing it.

602
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 5: But if he is.

603
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 2: He ain't gonna make it in sports, right if you're

604
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 2: choosing it like, he's not choosing because of that, He's

605
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 2: choosing because probably he'll get a better nil deal somewhere else.

606
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 2: Let's be real, that's probably what's happening.

607
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 6: And while we're hon it's not I mean, we have

608
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 6: some crazy fans to go too far. I'm not appy too.

609
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 6: There's not bad stuff.

610
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 4: Out we do.

611
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 2: And there have been times that people that have worked

612
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 2: for KSR, including the guy who just got up and left,

613
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 2: have said things that I've said, you need to not

614
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 2: say that, and I've asked him to apologize or whatever.

615
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 4: So people make mistakes.

616
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 6: But and I'm not excusing those, but sometimes I feel

617
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 6: like they act like the Internet's not supposed to have

618
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 6: people being mean.

619
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 4: The Internet's mean to everyone.

620
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 6: I mean, so I'm sorry these players see mean tweets

621
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 6: that happens at every school, that happens to high school

622
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 6: kids that put up a picture of themselves, that happens to.

623
00:30:58,120 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 4: Anyone that does anything.

624
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 6: The Internet is just a mean place outside of the

625
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 6: you know, the really bad stuff that's completely excusable. But

626
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 6: there is gonna be criticism if you play basketball in

627
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 6: national television on the internet. That is just going to exist.

628
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 6: Whether you're at Kentucky or anywhere, people are gonna watch

629
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 6: you and put their feelings out there, and they're not

630
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 6: always going to be positive.

631
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 2: And they go too far and got and say that's

632
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 2: too far.

633
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 4: You can't make criticism discippline.

634
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 2: The idea that people are going to be playing college

635
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 2: basketball for a major program and not be criticized, or

636
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 2: that a coach that's making nine million dollars a year

637
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 2: is not to be criticized, is again, that's cultish behavior,

638
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 2: and like that's that's what Louisville was like for a decade.

639
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,959
Speaker 2: Was if you suggested, you know what, maybe it's weird

640
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 2: that the city of Louisville is paying Louisville what they

641
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 2: are and giving them a portion of the concert fees

642
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 2: from tickets, you look tucky. Hey, well, now, little the

643
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 2: Young Sinner's going bankrupt. Did anybody think maybe that was

644
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 2: an issue a decade ago?

645
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 4: Anyway?

646
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 2: I just don't want to see us be like that.

647
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 2: Who's next?

648
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: Shit, Let's go to Chris from Jacksonville.

649
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 9: Chris, go ahead, Hey, normally I am a podcast listener,

Speaker 9: but off today for good Friday. So happy good Friday,

651
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 9: and happy also for Ryan and Shannon head to DeFord

00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 9: to thank you for your your tourism dollars.

653
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 2: Welcome with with that.

654
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 9: Normally I'm just sitting listening after the fact to all

655
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 9: the shows. But some of the things that I would

656
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 9: call in suggest For Coach cow he did one of

657
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 9: the biggest things this past couple of days ago when

658
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 9: he sat down with Keith Farmer and they did that show.

659
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 9: I would encourage him if I could talk to him,

660
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 9: I'd encourage him to do interviews with the other news

661
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 9: stations and the Herald Leader and the Courier General and

662
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 9: Kyle Tucker and you guys.

663
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 2: Will he do that? I don't know. I would encourage

664
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 2: him too as well. I love Keith Farmer, but like

665
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 2: that's a UK official show, right, Like that's not I

666
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 2: would encourage him to do interviews with all media. I

667
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 2: think that would be a good step. I agree totally

668
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 2: with you.

669
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 9: The other thing, I would suggest that the so blowing

670
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 9: off so much during the season and putting all of

671
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 9: the emphasis on March has got so much pressure on

672
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 9: those players.

673
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 2: Totally agree with him.

674
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 4: To totally agree with you.

675
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, every every game matters. He talked about the SEC tournament.

676
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 2: Matter your phone, your phone's breaking up. But you're exactly

677
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 2: right about Yeah, when you do the thing, I think

678
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 2: this is what's happened in the last few years. When

679
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 2: you do the thing that in the regular season, everything

680
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 2: that goes wrong, Eh, it doesn't matter. It's all on March.

681
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 2: How can you be anything but nervous when you get

682
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 2: to March? Like, how can you be anything but terrified

683
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 2: when you get to March? If you make it to

684
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 2: where you celebrate the small victories along the way, and

685
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 2: you make it to where you know along the way,

686
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 2: it's part of a thing. He likes to talk about

687
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 2: the journey. But when you say, we're built for March,

688
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 2: so none of the rest of this matters, I can

689
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 2: see why. If you're a player, you're like, oh my goodness,

690
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 2: we've been waiting for this second, you know, And it

691
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:22,760
Speaker 2: would be tough.

692
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think you would have more goodwill when you

693
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 6: do lose earlier, if you're not zero to four in

694
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 6: the last four champions Classics or have lost in the

695
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 6: SEC tournament. Soon as you get there, I said, this

696
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 6: year you win the SEC Tournament, you got a lot

697
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 6: of grace with me. Going to the NCAA whatever have

698
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 6: you are knocked out early because you at least had

699
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,479
Speaker 6: a good run there, But then that didn't matter again

700
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 6: this year either.

701
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 4: Let me be one person, writes Matt.

702
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 2: Maybe because you all say you don't believe what cal

703
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 2: Perry says about injuries, that's what she's talking about. Well, okay,

704
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 2: first of all, I don't ever believe a kid is

705
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 2: faking an injury. I think when dudes, kids have pride.

706
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 2: When dudes get hurt, their hurt. With that said, if

707
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 2: I have one piece of like advice to everyone in sports, entertainment, politics,

708
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 2: when people want to know something, the void is always

709
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 2: going to be filled with noise if you don't feel it.

710
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 4: So like, use the Kate Middleton thing.

711
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 2: I hate what everybody was saying about her when it

712
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 2: turns out she had cancer. But everyone's always going to

713
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 2: be interested in Kate Middleton. So if they don't say

714
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 2: what's happening, people are gonna fill it with conspiracy theories.

715
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 2: They just are. So cal has been so weird about

716
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 2: injuries that then when someone has a legitimate injury, people

717
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 2: are gonna be weird. Just be upfront all the time.

718
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 4: We don't know what PJ.

719
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 2: Washington, when he'll be back, not I haven't seen him, right,

720
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 2: you know what I mean?

721
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 4: Shannon, like, yeah, just be just be honest about it.

722
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 2: And then you want get to a point that when

723
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 2: a kid is legitimately injured, as I always thought a

724
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 2: duo and Justin Edwards and those guys were, nobody will

725
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:11,800
Speaker 2: speculate because it's normal, right.

726
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's natural if human reaction. When you

727
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 1: don't hear any news, you create your own news.

728
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 2: No news will always be filled with people guessing it.

729
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 4: Just will.

730
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 2: That's just natural reaction. Yeah.

731
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 6: And on the injury thing, we don't have to go

732
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,439
Speaker 6: back to I haven't seen him, but like no one's

733
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 6: asking to see the X ray and give us the

734
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 6: exact menth we'll be back. But as simple, he's going

735
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 6: through this working hard. We'll see him when we see

736
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 6: him again. It's a lot better than I haven't seen

737
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 6: him today. Because if you haven't seen him, who has

738
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:37,359
Speaker 6: seen him?

739
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 2: Let me give you a just I know I'm way over,

740
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna give you just a little story about

741
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 2: a coaching search back in the day. So when Kentucky

742
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 2: hired Mark Stoops, I knew Mark Stoops was coming for

743
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:53,479
Speaker 2: a couple of days, and I was asked by the folks, looking, hey,

744
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,359
Speaker 2: please do me a favor and hold off on it

745
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 2: because we need to get it done. Oh I did. Well.

746
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 2: Fast forward to Kenny Brooks being hired as the women's coach.

747
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,760
Speaker 2: I put out that I heard he was being hired,

748
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 2: or he would have been interviewed about a week before

749
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 2: he was hired. Someone got frustrated at me and goes,

750
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 2: if you put that out or I'd already put it out,

751
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 2: And they were like, why'd you put that out? He's

752
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 2: still playing. It might ruin it, And I said, because

753
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 2: it's news. People are wondering. I was like, if you

754
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 2: knew it was him, why didn't you ask me not to?

755
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Like it's always better to

756
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:38,800
Speaker 2: work with the media than to fight with them, because

757
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 2: they can help you. And so the Kenny Brooks thing,

758
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 2: it did come out, probably before they wanted. But if

759
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 2: I hadn't put it out, Drew somebody else would. If

760
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 2: you're not going to be able to stop, especially in

761
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 2: this world. In this world, like I mean, I had

762
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 2: I had ten people text a text machine, it's going

763
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 2: to be Kenny Brooks. So finally I like made a oh,

764
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 2: and I realized it was Kenny Brooks. But I wasn't

765
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 2: the only one that knew that, So you can't. You've

766
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 2: got to like work with the stuff because if you

767
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 2: leave silence, silence will always be filled by something. We'll

800
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 2: cal Perry have been fired if Louisville had had a

801
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:49,759

805
00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:00,600

806
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:04,040

807
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,799

808
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:07,839
Speaker 6: any fire we've ever had.

809
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't. I do think though, just in

810
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 2: the fan base like Louisville being terrible keeps our depression

811
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 2: down a little bit.

812
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,520
