00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 3: store and this lab is brand new behind us. This

25
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 3: is amazing what they've done since the last year.

26
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 2: This was here the last time we were here.

27
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 3: Not this part. We were the lab behind. This is

28
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 3: where we were. This is like a brand new lab

29
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 3: right here. Okay, well, this is where they make the gummies.

30

Speaker 3: You can actually see it happening right here with the sheets.

31
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 2: I've always thought this was this is kind of a

32
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 2: really cool thing to look at.

33
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, Ryan says they bake the gummies. They don't bake

34
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 4: the gummies. They cook them, but they don't bake them.

35
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 4: We learned that in the pre show.

36
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 3: Very cool.

37
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,200

00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: a long time. Made a huge difference in my ability

41
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: to sleep. They also have the Seltzers. They don't sell

42

45
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,920

Speaker 3: See, that's why we need the gummies. We lost. We

49
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 3: feel sad.

50
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 4: It makes you feel better a couple of those seltzers,

51
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 4: I'll forget about it. I don't care what happens for us

52
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 4: this season.

53
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: I just talked to a couple of guys back there

Speaker 2: of the worst in the league and is now two

59
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,399
Speaker 2: to zero in conference. And so we'll find out later

60
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 2: on today what the spread will be. Ryan, you were

61
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: saying that you spent yesterday doing an interview. Is that correct? Yeah?

62
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 3: The guy who's doing the profile you in Kentucky Monthly

63
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 3: called me yesterday and can I share with a lot

64
00:02:58,200 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 3: of the questions.

65
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: He asked me about You mean, it's your story He

66
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 2: was asking.

67
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 3: Me a lot of questions about your childhood home and

68
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 3: specifically your childhood bedroom.

69
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: How did he expect you knew what my childhood bedroom

70
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: looked like? Well, he said, I tried to keep you

71
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 2: out of it.

72
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 3: He said, have you seen it? I said, well, like

73
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 3: one time ten years ago, the first time we were there,

74
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,679
Speaker 3: we walked around. Well, what's it like in his childhood that.

75
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, this guy's really big on he said, I like

76
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 2: to paint the scene of things. So he's asking me

77
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 2: like a lot of questions about, like what does your

78
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 2: house look like? And I tried not to tell him

79
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: about like the New Yorker magazines on the floor and

80
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 2: stuff weren't hung up. Yeah, so I tried to bring

81
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 2: that stuff up.

82
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 3: That Coke McDonald's cups all over the floor.

83
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've thrown a lot of those away. At this point, well,

84
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 2: I hope you said nice things.

85
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 3: I did, And he was, you know, he wanted to know.

86
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 3: I told him, I said, you know, they didn't have

87
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 3: any Fara Fawcett posters or anything like that but his room.

88
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 3: But he had a lot of books. I's a lot

89
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 3: of books.

90
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 2: First of all, I'm not as old as you Faara

91
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 2: Fawcett was like, Faara Fawcett is not my general.

92
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 5: That's true.

93
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: Plus, Fara Fawcett was married to someone from Middlesbrough, and

94
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 2: I think that would be rude.

95
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 5: That's true.

96
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: If I were put another man's woman, I should not

97
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,119
Speaker 2: put another Middlesborough man's woman up on the on the thing.

98
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 3: That's a good point. Didn't think about that, but uh,

99
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 3: I said, he had a lot of books in there,

100
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 3: and it looked exactly like you stepped back in time.

101
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 3: Like there's a quaint house. You walk in, it just

102
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 3: feels homy and very comfortable.

103
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 2: On a second, you know, my mom's listening. You said,

104
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 2: step back in time. My mom has a very modern

105
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: looking house, and it's very nice. What are you talking about.

106
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 3: Your mom's house is not modern looking. It's a stately,

107
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 3: older home.

108
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 2: I tried to give him a chance. Did you hear that?

109
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 2: I tried to give him a chance.

110
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 4: You can't sometimes you just can't help this guy, like

111
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 4: you can't get out of his own way.

112
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: But it's a beautiful Okay, there you go. That's a

113
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: good start.

114
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a very nice home.

115
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: I said.

116
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 3: As soon as you walk in, you feel very homy

117
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 3: and comfortable. It's like it's an older home, but it's

118
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 3: the people.

119
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 2: You know.

120
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 3: You walk in these older homes, it has a different

121
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 3: feel to it. Your mom's house is perfect for that,

122
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 3: but it's not a modern I ain't home.

123
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 4: I do find it strange that this guy thinks that

124
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 4: Matt's like childhood. You know, bedroom is gonna be the

125
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 4: same as it was when he was a kid. Well,

126
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 4: like you know, ask, I'm.

127
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 2: Gonna I'm gonna let you deal with my mother. After

128
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 2: that conversation, I.

129
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 3: Say this, he did ask me a lot of questions

130
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 3: about your relationship with your mother, and I s Bragner

131
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 3: said Matt's success is based on because he watched his mother,

132
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 3: I mean, the first party good in the straight of

133
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 3: Kentucky and her succeed as a female and a male

134
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 3: dominated world. That motivated Matt as he became a professional.

135
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 2: That's right. Well, that I think is a good analysis.

136
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 2: Your analysis on our house, I think you is not

137
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: quite as good a f I'm nine two eight oh

138
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 2: twenty two eighty seven. The text machine is seven seven

139
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 2: two uh seven seven four five two five four Kentucky.

140
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: The Kentucky fan base. I've been trying to figure out okay,

141
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 2: because we've had this situation happen before during the COVID year,

142
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 2: and and even you know, there have been moments in

143
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 2: various years. I Shannon, I don't want this show to

144
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 2: just become like a gloom, despair in agony. I mean,

145
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 2: I don't think that that's what fans enjoy. And so

146
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: the question is, when you're not doing well, how do

147
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 2: you keep things positive? And in some in some respects,

148
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 2: it's even harder in basketball than football, because in football

149
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 2: there's only one game a week, right, so you can

150
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 2: just talk about the game, and then you just talk

151
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 2: about other stuff, and then the day before Saturday you

152
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 2: can go, well, there's another game this week. Basketball, the

153
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 2: games just keep coming, right, and so it's hard to

154
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: it's hard to not and and I, you know, we

155
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 2: talked about Saturday at halftime will be the halfway point

156
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 2: of the season. The exact halfway point of the season

157
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 2: will be at halftime, so we might have a lot

158
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: of this left. And so I'm trying to think, well,

159
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 2: what is it we do to keep the show entertaining fun,

160
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 2: lighthearted while also acknowledging that the team is struggling. And

161
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: then Oscar Combs. Okay, who you know? He started this

162
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 2: whole fan media thing that I started that I then

163
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 2: followed and have done for twenty years. I was like, Okay, well,

164
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 2: Oscar Combs probably has wisdom in this area, right, because

165
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 2: Oscar Combs has gone Remember he had to do his

166
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 2: stuff when they were on.

167
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 3: Probation, right, right.

168
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 2: So I go to his Twitter account, and on his

169
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 2: Twitter account, Oscar Combs rights, this may be the worst

170
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 2: time in the history to be a University of Kentucky fan.

171
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 2: He said, if you're looking at basketball and football, I

172
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 2: can't think of a worse time to be a UK fan. Now,

173
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 2: far be it from me to disagree with Oscar. I

174
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 2: don't totally understand that opinion. We had the death penalty. Basically,

175
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 2: our games were not on TV for an entire year,

176
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: we had a losing record, and the football team stunk

177
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 2: during that period of time. So it would strike me

178
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 2: that that was a worse time. But nevertheless, the mere

179
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 2: fact that he brings it up suggests it's at least

180
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 2: a conversation. I am not nearly as pessimistic as that.

181
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 2: I'm actually oddly very optimistic about the football team. We

182
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 2: have the eleventh ranked portal class. Right now, we have

183
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: the eleventh rate portal class, having taken a lot less

184
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 2: commitments than schools ranked ahead of US in below US. So,

185
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 2: for instance, Louisville, who fans have been freaking out because

186
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 2: Vincents signed like eight former Kentucky players. They've signed seven

187
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 2: more players than US, and they're ranking still behind US. Okay,

188
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 2: so I mean our per player ranking significantly higher, and

189
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 2: to be eleventh considering we were like the sixty fifth

190
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 2: best team in the country last year, I think it's

191
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 2: pretty good. So I have no reason to be really

192
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 2: down about football. I'm actually excited about the new staff. Basketball.

193
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 2: This is bad, but we did go to the Sweet

194
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 2: sixteen last year and the season is not over. What

195
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 2: am I missing, Shannon or do you just think maybe

196
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 2: because because by the way under oscars post, we're a

197
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 2: lot of people agree, now, Okay, what am I missing?

198
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 2: Because I don't feel like on.

199
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 4: The basketball side, I just feel like there is nothing

200
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 4: that we've seen that would make you think that this

201
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 4: season is going to turn around. You still got eleven

202
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 4: Quad one teams that you're going to be playing, so

203
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 4: there's a lot of chances for you to build your wrestle.

204
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 5: We still have a lot more games that you can

205
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 5: win the Restloir Quad.

206
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 4: Yes, so so on the on the basketball side, yeah,

207
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 4: I think there is still time to change, you know,

208
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 4: things around. But the problem is I'm not seeing anything

209
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 4: that would indicate that that's going to happen. So I

210
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 4: think that's why there's so much negativity on the basketball side.

211
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 2: Evan and I can't pronounce his name. It's like meahwah

212
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 2: or me, I can't.

213
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 5: I know what you're talking about.

214
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 2: He has a he has a social media, he's got

215
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 2: a stat side. I actually think he does a really

216
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 2: really good job. He basically does analytics about the team,

217
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 2: et cetera. He ranked all the college basketball players like

218
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 2: how good is anybody in the country. Kentucky did not

219
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 2: have one guy in the top seventy five players in

220
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 2: the country, not one, And that feels correct, right? I

221
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 2: mean Jayalen Lowe had not played enough games and a

222
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 2: Way didn't make it. He was kind of like ninetieth

223
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 2: or something. Do you That feels right to me? But

224
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 2: I still am not giving up yet. Where are you

225
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 2: at it? Well?

226
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 3: I said yesterday, I kind of feel like I'm my

227
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 3: spirit is broken and I think maybe Oscar, you know,

228
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 3: the probation time, maybe it will be a worse time,

229
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 3: But it doesn't feel like like that. It feels worse

230
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 3: now because.

231
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 2: Why does it feel worse?

232
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 3: Well, I think because you know the football team, we've

233
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 3: won what two SEC home games in three.

234
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 2: Years, but our staffs that's a new staff. Like if

235
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 2: Mark Soops was back, I could understand that opinion, but

236
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 2: this is a completely new staff. And I would note

237
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 2: our new coach is playing tonight for a chance to

238
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: go to the to the championship game, and if he

239
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 2: wins tonight, they have a really good chance to be

240
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 2: a national champ. I mean, we have a really good

241
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 2: chance to have a national championship offensive coordinator coming in

242
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 2: here and running our team next year, a guy who

243
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,719
Speaker 2: has shown he will swing for the fences on recruiting, right,

244
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 2: I mean we and we've gotten o top quarterback, but

245
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 2: we've been going after a lot of people.

246
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 3: So I agree with you. Our football future, I think

247
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 3: definitely has taking a turn in the right direction. Our

248
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 3: basketball future, yeah, I think a lot of people are

249
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 3: scratching their head because it's not just we're losing the way,

250
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 3: they're getting beat. They're getting run off the floor in

251
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 3: some of these games. I don't know if they are people.

252
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 3: I kind of like I said, their spirits broke. They're

253
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 3: losing a little hope. I think for basketball.

254
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 2: CBS ranked they graded all the coaches in college basketball

255
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 2: mid season, gave them all a grade. Did you see

256
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 2: the grade that they gave Mark poss I did? It

257
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 2: was not a great grade. No, it was a Ryan

258
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 2: lemon S grade. It was a D minus. Gave him

259
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 2: a D minus, one of only a handful of coach

260
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 2: Only like three coaches got f's, but he got a

261
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 2: D min. Is that a fair grade? Shandon?

262
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 5: I think that it is.

263
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 4: I think he is a Saint John's or maybe Indiana

264
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 4: loss away from being just an F. I mean, yeah,

265
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 4: those are really the only two things that have been

266
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 4: redeemable about the season.

267
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 2: John probably Saint John's is all that keeps you from

268
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 2: being Yeah, you got one because Indiana was at home.

269
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 4: You got one top twenty five win, you lose that game.

270
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 4: I think it's an absolute f with the roster. And

271
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 4: again we keep hearing about how much money was spent

272
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 4: on this roster. To be nine and six at the

273
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 4: midway point is borderline failure.

274
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 2: A lot of people put a lot of you know,

275
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 2: chatter about my comment yesterday to day about Ellie de

276
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 2: la Cruz. Six players making more than Elie de la

277
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 2: Cruz and kind of what that means. The part of

278
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 2: the reason I brought that up was just to say,

279
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 2: I mean, basketball and baseball don't really have anything in common.

280
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 2: But the point was just to say, you know, I'm

281
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 2: a Reds fan, and the amount of criticism or praise

282
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 2: that Ellie de la Cruz gets is unbelievable. Mean, he

283
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 2: was on the cover of the of the video game, right,

284
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 2: and if you go to a game, every kid there

285
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 2: has an Elie de la Cruze shirt. And then there's

286
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,319
Speaker 2: people who can plain every time he strikes out or

287
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 2: every time he makes an error, like he's such a

288
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 2: scrutinized person. And yet we have six basketball players making

289
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 2: more than him, six basketball players that at least in theory,

290
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 2: could be criticized as much or more. And I sort

291
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 2: of have this balance right of trying to figure out

292
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 2: how much can I be critical of. Let's say Mo Diabante,

293
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 2: who played poorly Wednesday, bickered with his teammates the whole game,

294
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna say got bitched in part because of

295
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 2: his play, but in part because they were kind of

296
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 2: tired of listening to his mouth a little bit during

297
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 2: the game. How much criticism do you think they deserve

298
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 2: or is it all on Mark Pope?

299
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 3: I think the player deserve the criticism and your example

300
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 3: where you're doing right now, because even Elie is not

301
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 3: making them much money. But every time you see him,

302
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 3: he's smiling and a good time. He's enjoying life, just

303
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 3: being on the field with the Cincinaty Reds. These guys

304
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 3: fighting and bicker with each other, I put the blame

305
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 3: on them. That's not necessarily a coaching thing. I think

306
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 3: that's more their personality than the guys they are well.

307
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 4: First of all, Elie needs a new agent because he

308
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 4: needs to be making That's just.

309
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 2: What they do in baseball. The first few years you

310
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 2: don't make any money, and then you make a ba

311
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 2: jillion dollars after that.

312
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 4: But I put this on Mark Pope because part of

313
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 4: being the head coach is being the leader and making

314
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 4: this thing work behind the scenes. If there are chemistry issues,

315
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 4: guys don't like each other, that is your job as

316
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 4: the head coach to work this out.

317
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 5: So I blame Mark Pope. I think it all goes

318
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 5: back to him.

319
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 2: I do too, but I will I have found myself.

320
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 2: I've been somebody if you've listened to the show, I

321
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 2: have for years like been like, yeah, you know, they're

322
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 2: just players, they're just kids. I maybe I'm just getting older,

323
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 2: but I'm finding myself becoming more like, hey, dude, you're

324
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 2: being paid, you're pro now, yep. And if I'm gonna

325
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 2: take up for you being a pro, and if you're

326
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 2: gonna get to go on the portal and you're gonna

327
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 2: get to do that, like, now I've got to treat

328
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 2: you like a pro. And Mo diabate, I'm gonna kind

329
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 2: of get like be like, you know, I get mad

330
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 2: when Draymond Green does that stuff. Well, you know I

331
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 2: gotta apply it to you because this is two games

332
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 2: in a row. Let me just say with him, he

333
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 2: was the centerpiece of all the bickering at Alabama. Yep.

334
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 2: Now he played well at Alabama, but he was the

335
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 2: centerpiece of all the bickering at Alabama, and now the

336
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 2: same here too. In between, he gives that interview in

337
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 2: which he basically says we weren't prepared, which seemed like

338
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 2: a little bit. I don't know if it was an

339
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 2: indictment on the team or the coach. It was hard

340
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 2: to read, So I mean, I think I give Mark

341
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 2: popademanas but I do think the players deserve some of

342
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 2: it too. Hey from nine two eight oh twenty two

Speaker 2: Bred Hemp. Very cool facility. Cool got our corn Bred

346
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 2: Hemp owners here from the my initial meeting with them

347
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 2: at Skyline, Chile. They still dress exactly the same. We'll

348
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 2: take a break and be right back. This is Kentucky

349
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 2: Sports Radio. Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio here

350
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 2: live at Corporred hem AF. I'm nine two eight oh

351
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 2: twenty two eighty seven the text machine seven seven two

352
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 2: seven seven four five two five four one. Merson rights, Matt,

353
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 2: everybody wants a verbal leader, and when Diabote gets on, guys,

354
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 2: it's a problem. Well, you could only be a leader

355
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 2: if people want you to be a leader and to follow,

356
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 2: I mean and exactly right, and if they're willing to follow,

357
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 2: like you can sit and scream at people. But if

358
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 2: for whatever reason they don't feel like you are a leader.

359
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 2: It does. You don't just get to decide you're a leader.

360
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 2: Being a leader in part requires the consent of those

361
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 2: being led, and so you know, in theory I like.

362
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 2: I mean again, I keep using the example because I

363
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 2: think it's the most obvious example in recent years of Oscar.

364
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 2: I liked Oscar. I don't think anybody would argue Oscar

365
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 2: is not a good dude. But Oscar, for whatever reason,

366
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 2: turned his teammates off. They did not enjoy being around him,

367
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 2: so that when you would see him lead, it's just

368
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 2: in one ear and out the other because these dudes

369
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 2: like now, is that Oscar's fault or is that the

370
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 2: player's fault? I don't know, could be either. But the

371
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 2: point is a leader is not effective if the people

372
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 2: you're leading don't want to be around you. Shit right.

373
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 4: And it's not just the bickering with the players. I mean,

374
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 4: if you go back to the last game, he was

375
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 4: bickering with the assistant coaches on the sideline too. So

376
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 4: I think he's got he's got a lot of issues.

377
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 4: It seems like with everybody on the team.

378
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 2: You know, the.

379
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 3: Practice we were at he had an issue with one

380
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 3: of the assistant coaches at that practice. So you know,

381
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 3: we heard this summer all along that he was kind

382
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 3: of the leader of the guys were following him. But

383
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 3: maybe it's the way he's doing it. Maybe this, Yeah,

384
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 3: that can make a difference.

385
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, one person, rights, Matt, I hate we latch onto

386
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 2: the Sweet sixteen last year. I didn't know the Sweet

387
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 2: sixteen was the expectation at Kentucky. Fair point, But let

388
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 2: me give you a good fair counterpoint. We hadn't been

389
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 2: to the Sweet sixteen since twenty nineteen until last year.

390
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, when you're coming off a lost to Oakland in

391
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 5: the first round.

392
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 2: You had a new coach. Yep, all right, you had

393
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 2: a new new coach comes in. I think he deserves

394
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 2: a minute, right, like take will Stein. Will Stein were

395
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 2: to win two games next year, that's a valid criticism.

396
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 2: But if he wins six and goes to a Bowl game,

397
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 2: I'm going especially with the hardest schedule that I can

398
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 2: remember us ever having, which is what we have next year,

399
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 2: then I must say, dude, great, right, yeah, because I

400
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 2: mean you do have to give these people a minute. Now.

401
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 2: What's more concerning to me is that year two looks

402
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 2: like it's on pace to be worse than year one,

403
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 2: but I don't really have any criticisms right about year one.

404
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 3: I feel like they kind of even overachieved last year.

405
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 3: You know, Pope never even won an NCAA tournament game

406
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 3: as a head coach till last year, so I kind

407
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 3: of feel even only only went to the sweet sixteen,

408
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 3: that was an overachievement for that.

409
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 4: What's interesting is he seems to have done better throwing

410
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 4: this roster together in two weeks last year than he

411
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 4: did when he had a full offseason to build.

412
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 2: You do want to if there's a paralysis by analysis

413
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,719
Speaker 2: that maybe he overthought things and ended up getting guys

414
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 2: that were not like he overthought it. You know, I

415
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 2: talked to a person that's not a UK media member,

416
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 2: but that's a national media member that knows Pope and

417
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 2: the staff pretty well, and he said, look, they'll never

418
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 2: say this, but they panicked a little bit in the

419
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 2: portal and they thought, let's get these athletes, we'll teach

420
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 2: them to shoot, and it didn't work. Like they basically

421
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 2: were like, we've got to have better defenders to win

422
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 2: a national championship. We'll teach them to shoot. And then

423
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 2: I think everybody will say they got too many big guys.

424
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 2: They just did they got too We have too many

425
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 2: big guys. We got five big guys. You can only

426
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 2: play I argue we maybe you're better off right and

427
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 2: only playing one big guy. If you watch the Missouri game,

428
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 2: some of our best runs came with Kim Williams at

429
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 2: the four and only one big in. But when you

430
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,719
Speaker 2: have five big guys, it's hard. Don't only play one

431
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 2: of them.

432
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 4: And I also don't understand what is going on with

433
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 4: Trent Noah. I mean, a guy who came in last

434
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 4: year and was such a big part of the run

435
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 4: in the tournament.

436
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 2: I don't think he fits in the team, But.

437
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 5: You need somebody that can shoot the three.

438
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I agree with you, yeah, but on a

439
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 2: team where you're like, we can't shoot, we gotta play defense.

440
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 2: He might be the worst defender on the team, So

441
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 2: how do you put him in. I don't think they

442
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 2: had a coherent philosophy building this, and it shows it.

443
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 2: Let's switch gears for a second. Shannon Dawson, Mister, if

444
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 2: it had worked, you would have liked it has gone

445
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 2: to the National Championship Game. What do you think of that?

446
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 3: And getting all kinds of praise last night though the

447
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 3: play con he made some most long third down calls

448
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 3: he made to the plays. Just how is it two

449
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 3: of our ex offensive coordinators, Shannon Dawson Liam calm are

450
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 3: like now.

451
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 2: The well Mark Stimp's currently picked offensive coordinator as well. Yeah,

452
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 2: what if Bush Hampden like in three years in the

453
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 2: National championship game?

454
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 4: Wouldn't be surprised. I mean again, that goes back to

455
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 4: Mark Stoops. We've talked about, you know, him handcuffing our

456
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 4: offensive coordinators. Yeah, there's gotta be some truth to that.

457
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 2: I was watching him. I was watching him during the

458
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 2: game and if you I don't know how many of

459
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 2: you watched it. They made Miami some really stupid calls.

460
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 2: It felt like during the game they went wildcat in

461
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 2: a position that and they ended up losing a ton

462
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 2: of yards and they they had some dumb decisions. With

463
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 2: that said, he also made some great calls. And there's

464
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 2: that little dude on Miami, the little freshman Tony. He

465
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 2: might be the best player I've ever seen. I mean,

466
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 2: he's like this tall and he is a he is

467
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 2: a demon. Now, the SEC for the third straight year

468
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 2: is not gonna win the National championship and for the

469
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 2: third straight year is not gonna have a team in

470
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 2: the championship game. Is that a trend you think? Is

471
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 2: the SEC slipped a little bit? We always say it's

472
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 2: the hardest conference, hardest schedule. Has that slipped?

473
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 3: I heard the guy I heard one kind of describe it.

474
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 3: You know, usually Georgia Alabama their second string, third stream

475
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 3: guys which start on most teams. But those guys are

476
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 3: leaving Alabama and Georgia now they're going to play at

477
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 3: some of these other places. So the transfer portal has

478
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 3: kind of hurt the SEC powerhouse. These guys don't stay

479
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 3: and play for him anymore.

480
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 2: I think where it's changed is because of the portal

481
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,199
Speaker 2: and also because there have been some good coaches go

482
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 2: to these other schools. I still think the middle and

483
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 2: the bottom of the SEC is better than the middle

484
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 2: and the bottom of the other conferences, But now I

485
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 2: think the top of the Big Ten, the ACC, and

486
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 2: you know, I just think it's as good as we

487
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 2: are now. I think the middle and the bottom I

488
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 2: still take our conference, but the top, I think, Shandon,

489
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 2: We're just we're not as dominant as we were.

490
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 4: The players still want to go to Alabama and Georgia.

491
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 4: But money means more to Yeah, and then.

492
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 2: You got Carson Beck, who Georgia said leave, and now

493
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 2: he's playing for the National championship. That was Georgia's call,

494
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 2: and now they're gonna watching play in the National title game.

495
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 2: We'll take a break, be right back. This is Kentucky

496
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 2: Sports Radio Quarterback. It is Kentucky Sports Radio eight five,

497
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 2: nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. Here at

498
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 2: Corn Brett Hemp. You know, Corn Brett Hemp is has

499
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 2: been going for a while, but they're also having to

500
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 2: fight our congressional policy. Unless Congress intervenes, by November twenty

501
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 2: twenty six, all HMP products in America will be a

502
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 2: schedule one narcotic on par with heroin, which is a

503
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 2: huge mistake. But hopefully that will change, and these guys

504
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 2: are spending their time in Washington try to making that happen. Shannon,

505
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 2: all I can say about it is it has had

506
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 2: a big impact on my especially a couple of years

507
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 2: ago when I was first starting on my sleep schedule.

508
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 2: And you know me, I'm not somebody who like I

509
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 2: don't enjoy being inebriated or high or any of this

510
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 2: because that doesn't happen, but it does relax me to

511
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 2: allow me to sleep, and I is done and wonders

512
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 2: for me, and I think it would be ridiculous to

513
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 2: take that away.

514
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:04,199
Speaker 5: I agree with you.

515
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 4: They have great products here, the sleep Gummies I'm a

516
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 4: big fan of, and just the regular gummies as well,

517
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 4: so really good stuff.

518
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:10,199
Speaker 5: They have a cornbra at hip duck.

519
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 2: Do you think that was past interference on the last

520
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 2: play last night?

521
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 3: I think it was, but I don't know if you

522
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 3: call it, but it sure seemed like he kind of

523
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 3: had his hand on his shoulder pads or even kind

524
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 3: of pulling him down.

525
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 4: I feel like that's one of those If it were

526
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 4: like second quarter, they call it, yeah, but end of

527
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 4: the game they let it go.

528
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 2: I think when you put yourself in a like in

529
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 2: a position where it's a hail Mary, you just got

530
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 2: to deal with that. Yeah. If it's now, if it's

531
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 2: first and goal at the three, and that exact same

532
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 2: situation happens, I think they call it. But I think

533
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 2: there's a sense of if you're throwing it forty yards

534
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 2: down field, you know, if you notice they're both grabbing

535
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 2: each other, uh huh. And I think actually if you

536
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 2: go watch the play, a lot of people focused on

537
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 2: the pass affair. Look at the other guy an old miss.

538
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 2: It's clear it was actually a brilliant play. I don't

539
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 2: know if Kiffin or who came up with it. Maybe

540
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 2: Charlie Weiss Junior, one of the guys of the offensive players,

541
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 2: was interfering with the Miami game to keep him from

542
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 2: coming over to the other guy. So if you go

543
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 2: watch that play, the other Miami receiver is pulling the

544
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 2: old miss guy down, so it's one on one on

545
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 2: the other one. Yeah. So I actually think you could

546
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 2: have called it either way there, So I was okay

547
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 2: with letting it go. Yeah. And then when you put

548
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 2: yourself in that position, old miss, if you're having to

549
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 2: throw a hell there.

550
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 3: The official they use up there in the broadcast booth,

551
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 3: they kind of went to him real quick and he said, yeah,

552
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 3: exactly what you said. They kind of were both pushing

553
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,479
Speaker 3: on each other. Nobody really had an advantage, so that's

554
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 3: why they probably just didn't call it.

555
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. Eight, if I'm nine two twenty two eighty seven,

556
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 2: who's up first? Joey is up first? Joey, go ahead, Joey.

557
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 6: Hey man, how y'all doing good, So I've got too

558
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 6: quick questions. Is this really the year to break out

559
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 6: the den on the uniforms? And then the next one

560
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 6: is a few weeks ago I seen a ride up

561
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,239
Speaker 6: that Pope was working on contract extensions already for the

562
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 6: guys for next year. I mean want to understand that, Like,

563
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 6: I don't get what guys you want to keep off

564
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 6: this roster, but I'll hang up and well.

565
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I think that's I think that's a conversation.

566
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 2: We'll see how the season ends. Let's just talk about

567
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 2: what I think they were planning to do. I think

568
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 2: they were planning to bring back low Diabate, you know whoever.

569
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 2: I think those were the two major ones and then

570
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 2: everybody else that was gonna kind of depend on what

571
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 2: on on how things went now who knows. But you

572
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 2: also to mean you got to have somebody.

573
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, nobody.

574
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 2: If there's one thing we've learned, I mean, we have

575
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 2: zero recruits with zero people committed. If there's one thing

576
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 2: we've learned, you don't want to build your whole team

577
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 2: by the portal. So I mean they're gonna have some

578
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 2: of these guys will certainly be back. Do you think

579
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 2: there's an argument Ryan not to bring the denims out

580
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 2: this year. You know, we've already announced we're doing it,

581
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 2: Uh for the Tennessee game first weekend of February. If

582
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 2: we go in with a big losing stream, is this

583
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 2: the time to bring out the denims? And also the

584
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 2: ninety sixteam would come back because it's been thirty years

585
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 2: since they won the title, which I cannot believe it's

586
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 2: been that long.

587
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 3: But yeah, well that's it. It's an anniversary marker. It's

588
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 3: the thirty year anniversary of that ninety six to HAPPL

589
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 3: championship team. Now you got Pope's your coach.

590
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 2: I'm for it.

591
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 3: I think I was all excited about him bringing them back.

592
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 3: Of course, if they have a losing street going into

593
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 3: the game, that's going to kind of stink. But I'm

594
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 3: all for bringing out the denim uniforms this year for

595
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 3: the anniversary.

596
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 2: It's this Saturday. They're bringing back reps runs it is. Yes, Yeah,

597
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 2: they're bringing Saturday Night. They're bringing reps runts. And I

598
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 2: believe all of RUPs Runts that are alive except Larry.

599
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 2: It's Larry Conley.

600
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 3: He's a lot of Yeah, he has health issues, so.

601
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 2: He cannot come, but all the other REPS Runts, including

602
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 2: Pat Riley, are going to be at the game Saturday

603
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 2: night because it's the sixtieth anniversary of REPS Runt. So

604
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 2: I think you probably do the Denims because it's the

605
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 2: anniversary of ninety six. But I will say, if we

606
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 2: go in and we're like two and eight in conference

607
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 2: when we do it, it's not gonna feel quite the same.

608
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you've already announced that you were going to do it.

609
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 4: You can't go back now. I mean, I think that

610
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 4: would be a weak move to go, well, we're not winning,

611
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 4: so we're not gonna bring out the dentum, and you

612
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 4: got to do it because the anniversary.

613
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, who's up next? Tom? Is up next? Tom? Go ahead, Tom?

614
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, Man, thanks to take my call.

615
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 2: Uh.

616
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 7: I know we have a lot of problems on basketball,

617
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 7: but one of the worst things I've ever seen was

618
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 7: are out of bounds play. Why do we have to

619
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 7: throw at the length of the floor to get the

620
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 7: ball in without trying to run a play to score.

621
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 7: We've had several turnovers just trying to get the ball

622
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 7: in bounce.

623
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 2: I just like all your views, I think that is

624
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 2: a really great question. And one that as I watched

625
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 2: the game, all right, so can I do a forty

626
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 2: five second rant on the out of bounds play? I

627
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 2: want you to you guys, remember you guys remember during

628
00:28:54,480 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 2: the col Era drove me, yeah, insane. We were just

629
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 2: have a guy standing there and they would love it

630
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 2: to his hand and it drove me insane, especially when

631
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 2: you would see the other teams run some play and

632
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 2: then they would get it all right. Fast forward. Last year.

633
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 2: I don't know if you remember, we ran a lot

634
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 2: of out of bounds plays and we actually had some

635
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 2: success with them, now, probably because we had a very

636
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 2: intelligent team, but we did then. All right, now let's

637
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 2: start to this year. Beginning of the year. What were

638
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 2: we back to a guy standing there with his arm

639
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 2: up that we were doing that, and then we got

640
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,959
Speaker 2: some turnovers because oh guess what, that doesn't work. So

641
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 2: they had two weeks between the Saint John's game in

642
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 2: the first SEC game, and so my assumption was, let's

643
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 2: add some out of bounds place. And now it seems

644
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 2: like our view is let's throw it all the way

645
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 2: down the court to the other side, I guess, so

646
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 2: it won't get stolen. But then and the announcers made

647
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 2: this point, and I p sha the call, sir. The

648
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 2: announcers made this point. You've wasted six or eight seconds

649
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 2: getting the ball up the court, and on the last play,

650
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 2: I don't know what we were doing on that last play.

651
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I really don't like. I love Jalen Lowe,

652
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 2: but I'm not sure that's not the shot you want

653
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 2: coming out of that coming out of that break. So

654
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 2: I don't understand the out of bounds plays. By the way,

655
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 2: go watch Missouri's out of bounds plays. On every Missouri

656
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 2: out of bounds plays, they either got a layup or

657
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 2: it got knocked out of their hands and they got

658
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 2: the ball again. But they they got a slip position

659
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 2: and a shot at the rim every play.

660
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 3: So maybe so mad that last minute of the Missouri game,

661
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 3: we had four empty possessions and two of them were

662
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 3: coming out of a timeout. The first, like at fifty

663
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 3: something seconds out of a time out, they gave it

664
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 3: to Brandon Garrison to initiate a play.

665
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 2: Stupid.

666
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 3: Then the last possession, that play they designed to Jayleen

667
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 3: low threw up stupid.

668
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 2: I'll say that I like, I actually think Brandon Garrison

669
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 2: gets a little more criticism than he deserves. But I

670
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 2: can't think of a player that I want making that

671
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 2: play less than training gears with less than I know

672
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 2: he'd played well, but like let him roll to the

673
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 2: basket or something. But the idea of okay, let's give

674
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 2: it to Brandon and then let him make the decision, Shannon,

675
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 2: I don't.

676
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 4: Understand too much dribbling on the team too. That's another thing,

677
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 4: you know, Pope, I thought was gonna be really good

678
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 4: with these drawing up plays x's and o's, and that's

679
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 4: that's another reason that some of this season has been disappointed,

680
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 4: because you really haven't seen too much of that.

681
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 2: If I'm nine two twenty two eighty seven, I have

682
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 2: a question that I want you guys to answer when

683
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 2: we come back. All right, how much is being an

684
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 2: American citizen worth to you financially? There's a reason I'm

685
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 2: gonna ask you this because apparently it's now for sale,

686
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 2: and so I'm wondering how much is it worth to you?

687
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 2: How much would it be worth to you to switch

688
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 2: to another country? Yeah, so we will talk about that.

689

Speaker 5: Chef Yes, Shop Road?

703
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 2: Yes, right off Popular level A five nine two eight

704
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 2: oh twenty two eighty seven, text machine seven seven two

705
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 2: seven seven four five two five four. By the way,

706
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 2: Willy Rodriguez coming back to Kentucky as a tight end,

707
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 2: that's a big deal. That's a big deal. That may

708
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 2: be in terms of guys returning, you could probably argue

709
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 2: Ty Bright and Willie Rodriguez are the two most talented

710
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 2: guys on the team, and both of them from Kentucky,

711
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 2: both of them now return. Yeah.

712
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 3: I think they looked at the offense. Okay, what one

713
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 3: guy can we not afford to lose? I think we

714
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 3: might have been him, did the same thing on defense.

715
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 3: What guy can we not afford to lose? He was

716
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 3: Ty Bryant with all these guys kind of all of a

717
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 3: sudden leaving. It's bloom, going to Louisville. It's good he

718
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 3: decided to stay at Kentucky.

719
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 2: I think Willie Rodriguez is gonna be a monster. Yeah,

720
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 2: will Stein's offense, I think he's gonna be a monster.

721
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 2: I think that is a huge, huge get to get

722
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 2: him to stay. All right, So you know we've been

723
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 2: you've probably if you've been following the news, they've been

724
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 2: talking about Greenland, and like Trump wants to take Greenland,

725
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 2: and so you know, it's generally considered that we're probably

726
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 2: not gonna invade it. That's not a good idea. So

727
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 2: they're trying to figure out I guess Trump wants to

728
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 2: buy it. Well, Denmark runs it and says it's not

729
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 2: for sale. So there's this talk of a plan where

730
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 2: they're gonna offer Greenland people and say, because they have

731
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 2: a right to vote, they usually vote to stay with Denmark.

732
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,719
Speaker 2: They've done that for a long time, but he's like,

733
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 2: if you do another vote, one of the things they're

734
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 2: offering is we will make it to where we will

735
00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 2: pay Greenland citizens to become Americans. That if they vote

736
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 2: yes to become Americans, there's fifty thousand of them, we

737
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 2: would give them between ten to fifty thousand dollars a

738
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:12,399
Speaker 2: year for the next twenty years. Now, I will say,

739
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 2: I think a lot of Americans are gonna be like, well,

740
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 2: where's my money. But let's put that as a side.

741
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 2: All right, Let's say Canada Shannon wanted to buy Kentucky.

742
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 2: I don't know how that would happen, but let's just

743
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,280
Speaker 2: say Canada came up and said we are buying Kentucky

744
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:32,879
Speaker 2: and you had to vote whether or not to leave

745
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:39,720
Speaker 2: America and become Canadian. How much money a year would

746
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 2: it take for you to agree to vote to become Canadian.

747
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 2: Because that's the most likely scenario. I mean, first of all,

748
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 2: it's not likely. Yeah, but like if I'm trying to

749
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 2: think of the equivalent if they said to you, okay,

750
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 2: we will give you, Shannon, the dude ten thousand dollars

751
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 2: a year for Kentucky be Canadian. You're no card, no

752
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 2: fifty thousand dollars a year, keep going, Bob, So your vote.

753
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 2: So if I just offer you fifty your votes? No? No, okay.

754
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 2: By the way, I bet there's a lot of people

755
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 2: that would vote yes, Yeah, fifty thousands.

756
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,800
Speaker 5: I'm proud to be an American. There's Billy say all American.

757
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 2: Billy says he would be Billy's a sellout. Bill. You

758
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 2: would be, Billy. You would be Canadian for fifty thousand

759
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 2: a year. So it'd be forty nine states and we

760
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,240
Speaker 2: would be one of the provinces of Canada.

761
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 4: I'll give you fifty thousand now to go to Canada.

762
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 3: Do you have to move to Canada?

763
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:37,439
Speaker 2: No? No, Kentucky Okay. The theory is Kentucky would now

764
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 2: be part of Canada. We would be having a vote,

765
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 2: and if the vote occurred and over half the state voted,

766
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 2: we would be a Canadian state. So the question is

767
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 2: if they just came to you and said fifty thousand

768
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 2: dollars and then it got on the ballot, are you

769
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 2: voting yes or no? Fifty thousand a year that's yours free.

770
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 3: I'm probably be Shanon. I want of the barker to

771
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:01,399
Speaker 3: go a little bit high.

772
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 2: So this is the Wait a minute, this is the offer.

773
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 2: It is on the ballot, and fifty thousand dollars a year.

774
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,879
Speaker 2: That's the offer. This is not You're not bargaining one

775
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 2: on one. They don't want Ryan, they want the state

776
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 2: of Canada of Kentucky. So are you voting yes or no?

777
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 2: At fifty thousand dollars a.

778
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 3: Year, I can stay in my same house. I can

779
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 3: live with them around my same people.

780
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 2: Everyone will be the same. It's just you'll be a

781
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 2: Canadian balls different somewhat. Yeah, yeah, no, the law would

782
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 2: be there.

783
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 3: Do we have to change it to ksrstead a ks

784
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 3: answer the question. I'm trying to figure it all out

785
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 3: here about Canada.

786
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 5: Start with a K, but I'm starting to lean.

787
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 3: Towards I would probably take it, so you would see you,

788
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 3: so you would vote yes. I think I might vote yes.

789
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,240
Speaker 2: So now we have two votes for Kentucky to join Canada.

790
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 2: Billy and Ryan.

791
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 5: You're a no, which is surprising.

792
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 2: I thought you would become Canadian.

793
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 3: For one hundred dollars.

794
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 5: No, you do better than that, all right.

795
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 2: Mario, yes or no? Mario's a no? All right? So

796
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 2: now I'm gonna give up. We're gonna put one more ballot,

797
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 2: because this is they're they're talking about that one hundred

798
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 2: thousand dollars a year.

799
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 3: Sign me up, I'm Canadian.

800
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 5: Idy got you for fifty thousand.

801
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. Billy and Shannon now or excuse me,

802
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 2: Billy and Ryan are already Canadian. They voted yes the

803
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 2: first time at fifty All right, this is your last offer, Shannon, yep.

804
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 2: One hundred thousand dollars a year for twenty years, and

805
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 2: Kentucky is now joining Ottawa and Manitoba and Alberta and

806
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 2: we are now Canadian.

807
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 5: Come on, eh, I'm feel so patriotic right now. Come on,

808
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 5: that's a lot of money.

809
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 2: Listen, one hundred thousand dollars a year. You could not

810
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 2: work if you didn't want to, she didn't want to,

811
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 2: You wouldn't work. Because, like we're essentially going to be

812
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 2: offering these people of Greenland if this policy happens, and

813
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 2: I don't know if it will, we're offering them a

814
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 2: chance to basically not work and become Americans. Which is

815
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 2: why I think a lot of them are because they're

816
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 2: not gonna like it if we offer that. But we

817
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 2: are offering that, are you taking?

818
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 4: I'd like to say that no amount of money would

819
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 4: be enough for me to turn into it Canadian. That's crazy,

820
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 4: but shocked that you believe everybody's got a price a

821
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 4: million dollars for a million dollar man. But we're not

822
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 4: talking about a million dollars. We're talking about a hundred

823
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 4: thousand dollars. Still, I know I'm still gonna stay up there.

824
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 2: Yes, Wow, you're a Yes. Now Mario is now we

825
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 2: converted him to Canadas away one hundred thousand dollars. Has

826
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 2: now just made three of the four of you Canadian.

827
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 5: We should we should have put all three of you

828
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 5: right now. Get out of here, get out of our.

829
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 2: Here's the thing. So let me ask you this. I

830
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 2: actually could see why if you were a Greenlander you

831
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 2: would go, well, yeah, okay, Now what happens in America

832
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 2: if we offer that? Do you think people will like that?

833
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,240
Speaker 4: No, because we'll be just like what you said, where's

834
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,399
Speaker 4: our money? How can we're not getting money? I think

835
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 4: you'll have people from America converting to Greenland. Oh you

836
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 4: got back to America for money? I would if that

837
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 4: were we're going to do that, let's play the game here.

838
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 2: You would try to become a Greenland citizen first, Yes,

839
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:13,760
Speaker 2: now see it in advance.

840
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 5: There you go, take the money, take my free money.

841
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 5: I'm still American.

842
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 2: Shan, very smart, Shnan jumping citizenship.

843
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:26,720
Speaker 4: I will temporarily be a green landing in but not

844
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 4: not permanently.

845
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 2: Interesting. I hadn't thought of that angle. Who's up next?

846
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 2: By the way, I didn't notice how I didn't have

847
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 2: to get my.

848
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, hold on a minute, Yeah, I don't go to

849
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 4: the next callar. What's your answer?

850
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 2: Uh, my answer would be I still would would. I

851
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 2: think there are advantages on the world stage to being

852
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 2: in America. With that said, you know, Canadians not bad.

853
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 2: There's a lot of good.

854
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 5: Like we've been to Canada.

855
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean I think very similar living in Canada.

856
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,720
Speaker 4: Living here, we would have mounties instead of police in Kentucky.

857
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 2: Right, there are some differences. There are a few or less,

858
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 2: like it's not quite as individual as you don't have

859
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,879
Speaker 2: quite as many freedoms, but you have most of them.

860
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 2: Do get like universal health care, but that also can

861
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 2: kind of have some problems occasionally. Travel is basically the same,

862
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 2: So I mean it's it's not a huge difference.

863
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 4: You and I are Team America, and these guys, when

864
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 4: you are Canadian, though, you do have to rely on

865
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 4: another country for your national security.

866
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 2: That's one thing about America is we do rely on

867
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 2: like we take that for granted. But most other countries

868
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 2: in the world are to some extent relying on us

869
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 2: for national security. And that does matter.

870
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 5: See, they'll come and attack Kentucky.

871
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 2: That's true, get invaded exactly. All right, go ahead, who's next? Mo?

872
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 2: Is up next? Mo? Go ahead? Mo? Hey man.

873
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 8: You remember back in like twenty thirteen when we missed

874
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 8: the tournament, Chester were called in and he said that

875
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 8: the reason was he blamed it on socialism.

876
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 2: On the liberals. That was a great call, great calls

877
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:01,800
Speaker 2: in KSR history.

878
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 8: I thought, and I guess if we missed the tournament

879
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 8: this year, which I don't think we will, but if

880
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 8: we do, I guess we blame it on capitalism. Now,

881
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 8: you know, twenty two million dollars pay to a team

882
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 8: that really hasn't played.

883
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 2: Now, if we miss the tournament, it's going to be

884
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 2: a massive embarrassment. We're going to be the laughing stock

885
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,240
Speaker 2: of college basketball if we miss the tournament.

886
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 8: But go ahead, and a question, as far as blue

887
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 8: bloods go, do you think we are now objectively maybe

888
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 8: the weakest of the blue bloods in turn.

889
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,800
Speaker 2: Great question. I mean it depends on what It depends

890
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 2: on what you define a blue blood. As I heard

891
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 2: during the offseason, somebody, I think it was Matt Norlanders

892
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 2: said blue bloods are five programs. You can only have

893
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 2: five blue bloods at any given time. And his argument

894
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 2: was UCLA has been replaced by Yukon. So he was

895
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:54,240
Speaker 2: basically like, it's Kentucky, Duke, North Carolina, Kansas, and Yukon.

896
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 2: If those are the five blue bloods, and I think

897
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 2: that's probably correct, then at this moment, we're number five.

898
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 2: If we're talking about not historically. Historically, I still think

899
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 2: we're number one, But if you're talking about where are

900
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 2: the blue bloods in terms of their status as programs now,

901
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 2: then we're number five and we would be the one

902
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 2: that would be on the verge of being replaced if

903
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 2: we're not careful. So let's just I think that's important

904
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 2: to realize. I do think that's true. We'll take a break,

905
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 2: come back out. Number two. This is Kentucky Sports Radio.
