Speaker 5: They just showed me they have a new Bourbon Drew

Speaker 5: sunglasses and if you get it, the case comes with

50
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 5: the UK state flag on which I think is very

51
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 5: nice that the handshake going on there.

52
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 6: How are you doing?

53
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 5: I feel like I've talked to you because of Cover zero,

54
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 5: although I feel like I've.

55
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 6: Not talked to anyone else in the world except you.

56
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 4: I've tried to give them updates.

57
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 9: I I feel like I've had stolen Matt time with

58
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 9: our Cover zero twice a week, so I've tried to

59
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 9: let them know how things have been going. But I

60
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 9: know you have a lot of stories to tell.

61
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 6: Well, I'll do it through the course of the show.

62
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 5: I got back last night after a sixteen hour flight

63
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 5: from Johannesburg to New York and then New York to Louisville.

64
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 6: Awesome trip.

65
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 5: I'm sure over the course of the next week or

66
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 5: two I will tell stories about it, but overall, absolutely awesome.

67
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 6: South Africa was great. It is beautiful.

68
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 5: I would say Cape Town is probably the most beautiful

69
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 5: city I've ever been to in the world, and just

70
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 5: visually mountains surrounding it ocean. It's just absolutely beautiful place.

71
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 5: Went on a safari, which was unbelievable. You know, had

72
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 5: an elephant from me to you sitting there staring at me.

73
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 5: Made me a little nervous a couple times, but that

74
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 5: was all right. Lions, you know, rhinos, hippos and like

75
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 5: not just seeing them, but they're right next to you

76
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 5: and there's nothing in between you and them, which is

77
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:21,679
Speaker 5: which is a lot. And then Johannesburg, you know, might

78
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 5: be the most chaotic place I've ever been on Earth,

79
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 5: without question. You know, Statistically it's one of the most

80
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 5: dangerous cities in America. And while I didn't feel danger necessarily,

81
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 5: I can totally see why that.

82
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 6: Is the case. But overall, one of the best trips

83
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 6: I've been on in my life. Right, I absolutely loved it.

84
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 7: I say, We've got a million questions, but I think

85
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 7: one thing everybody wants to know is did you really

86
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 7: sleep in a tent?

87
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 6: Was that? I can't sleep in a tent? Now, if

88
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 6: you watch the video on Instagram, it doesn't.

89
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 4: It looks a little.

90
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,119
Speaker 6: More sparse than it was. But it was a tent,

91
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 6: you know, I mean, it had just.

92
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 5: A lining on it. It was a nice tin. I'm not

93
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 5: gonna act like I was roughing it. It was was

94
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 5: a nice tent with a nice bed. But I did

95
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 5: sleep in the in the as they call it, in

96
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 5: the bush out there drew with with the animals. There

97
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 5: was an electric fence between us and them, so they

98
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 5: couldn't come into our our rooms. But I got up

99
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 5: one day, looked outside and there were they, you know,

100
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 5: these little they call them spring box.

101
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 6: Just running around right like, right up next to your tents.

102
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 9: I think they called that glamping. It's in the camp.

103
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 9: You just have a nice thread count on your sheets.

104
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 6: But bread gown, did you repel?

105
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 4: I know that's one thing you were worried about.

106
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 5: Well, I did not repel. But the reason is what

107
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 5: was the bigger theme of the trip, which is I

108
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 5: broke my phone quickly into it. Now, if you didn't

109
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 5: listen to Cover zero, I broke my phone by spilling

110
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 5: coke on it in my pocket while going to Nelson

111
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 5: Mandela's prison. Shit that was, which is not how most

112
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 5: people lose their phone.

113
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 2: A pocket coke. I've never heard of.

114
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 5: Pocket coke. I'll tell you the story in a minute.

115
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 5: But I had a pocket coke. But what it led

116
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 5: to is. You know, I was there eighteen days starting

117
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 5: on day five. I didn't have a phone, and you know,

118
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 5: it's not crazy to say I'm pretty reliant on my phone,

119
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 5: but I would argue even if you all aren't as

120
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 5: addicted to your phones as I am. It is a

121
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 5: nerve wracking experience to be in a country you do

122
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 5: not know, in places that you do not know, some

123
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 5: of which are places that are a little sketchy, without

124
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 5: a phone and really no way to communicate because when

125
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 5: I tried to log into things, they would all send

126
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 5: verifications to the phone that I could not get to.

127
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 5: So the only thing I couldn't send text messages. The

128
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 5: only thing I could do is I could I message,

129
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 5: but I could only I message people who I had

130
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 5: talked to on my iPad before, which was only like

131
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 5: a handful of people. It was like my mom Drew,

132
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 5: you know, probably ten people total. So if you weren't

133
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 5: one of those ten, I could not communicate with you,

134
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 5: couldn't get into any apps in any social media except

135
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 5: for some reason Instagram and otherwise, was just kind of

136
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 5: cut off from the world. I had no ability to communicate.

137
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 5: And that is when you are in a place that

138
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 5: you do not know. Just think about like, Uber, if

139
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 5: I had to go out, I had to figure out

140
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 5: how am I gonna get home?

141
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,239
Speaker 6: I can't call a taxi. I don't have a phone, right, yeah,

142
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. Yeah, there was just no.

143
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 5: Like you literally had to sit and think, Okay, if

144
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 5: I go there, how am I gonna get back? And

145
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 5: that was the whole thing, because I like to just roam,

146
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 5: couldn't quite do.

147
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 2: This is the first time I've communicated with you since

148
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 2: you left. And to your point, I don't even want

149
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 2: to be in Saint Matthew's without a phone, let alone

150
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 2: South Africa, So I can't even imagine how it would

151
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 2: be without.

152
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 5: Being in Johannesburg without a phone is probably one of

153
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 5: the few times I've ever been where I was like

154
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 5: at every move trying to.

155
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 6: Think, Okay, what do we do here? What do we

156
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 6: do here?

157
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 5: So that and I'm with a group of people the

158
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 5: second half of the troop though at the eight women,

159
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 5: I don't know those people.

160
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 6: Really, you know, So that also made it ryan different.

161
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 7: I think it would rattle anybody to be in a

162
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 7: foreign country with no access to the people in case

163
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 7: you need to reach somebody yeah.

164
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 8: I guess you told the story he drew about the

165
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 8: yogurt shop. I mean that was early on.

166
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 6: That was by the way.

167
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 5: Then when I went back, I saw that I could

168
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 5: have gone to the yogurt shop on my own, Drew,

169
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 5: I think I would have been fined.

170
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 6: I don't think anything would have happened to me in

171
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 6: that neighborhood.

172
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 4: Well, that was like when you first got there. Yeah,

173
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 4: you're so on high alert.

174
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 6: But it was an awesome trip.

175
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 5: Those of you that do follow me on Instagram, which

176
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 5: is k Y Sports Radio, thank you guys. You were

177
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 5: honestly my connection back home. People were sending like dms

178
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 5: and messages and it was great. So, uh, I want

179
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 5: to tell stories as we go.

180
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 6: I missed.

181
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 5: I didn't get to watch Ryan any of the of

182
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 5: any of the Kentucky games, didn't see any of Eastern Michigan,

183
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 5: didn't see any of South Carolina. On the flight home yesterday,

184
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 5: I watched the first half of the South Carolina game

185
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 5: and I was so disgusted, uh somewhere over the Atlantic

186
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 5: Ocean that I stopped it at the end of the

187
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 5: first half.

188
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 6: So that's kind of where I am on having watched

189
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 6: the games.

190
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 7: I think It's fair to say that second quarter of

191
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 7: the South Carolina game one of the worst quarters of

192
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 7: UK football in a long, long time, and everything that

193
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 7: could go wrong did go wrong. Offense couldn't move to

194
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 7: the football. Defense, Well, the defense had a couple of

195
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 7: short touchdowns they gave up.

196
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 8: But what do you expect?

197
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 6: You know?

198
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 8: Tom Hart did reference.

199
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 6: I heard he made a lot of references to my trip.

200
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 6: Is that right?

201
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 2: Yeah?

202
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 7: He said, it's like seeing a giant tortoise on the

203
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 7: beach one day and penguin's on the beach the next day.

204
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 4: Did see penguins?

205
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 5: Let me tell you someth When you're with a group

206
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 5: drew of eight women, they get very excited about the penguins.

207
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 4: I mean, who doesn't get excited.

208
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 5: Very excited about the pequins. I mean, I didn't realize

209
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 5: penguins were as big a deal to people. They were

210
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 5: very excited about the penguins.

211
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 9: Did you have an animal that you were really excited

212
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 9: to see? Did you freak out over like a hyena?

213
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 9: Or you told a story about some some bamboos?

214
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, so you know when the elephants gets so close

215
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 5: to you, I don't know, Shannon, that's kind of cool.

216
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 6: Yeah.

217
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 5: I mean those are massive you know anything, those are

218
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 5: massive beans. And when they come up right next to

219
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 5: you and their little snout comes out and it's probably

220
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 5: from me to you, yeah, and you just go.

221
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 3: Wow, did you give us some peanuts?

222
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 6: Supposed to know?

223
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 5: I mean, they were very adamant about do not stick

224
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 5: your hands out.

225
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 2: There was a story, I don't know if you're aware

226
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 2: of this, there was a world story about somebody in

227
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 2: South Africa just a couple of days ago that got

228
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 2: attacked by an elephant in South Africa.

229
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 3: I thought, I hope that's.

230
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 5: Not that, but I can totally see how it happens,

231
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 5: because you get you start thinking about them like they're toys,

232
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 5: you know, because they're just right there and you're like, oh,

233
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 5: isn't that sweet?

234
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 6: But they're not sweet.

235
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 3: They want to cuddle up with an elephant.

236
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 5: And then the hippo. Now we were farther away. But

237
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 5: you know, I don't know if you've ever seen videos

238
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 5: of hippos like those are. It's not like the little hungry,

239
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 5: hungry hippo, right, and those things will come after you.

240
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 5: And so yeah, I mean it was very cool. But

241
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 5: you know, there's a lion from like me, to that

242
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 5: woman right there. Those kind of things.

243
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 3: Are what kind of defense did you have?

244
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 6: You don't?

245
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 5: I mean the woman that was driving us around, I

246
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 5: think she had a gun. So like things got but

247
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 5: you know where you go. I don't know if a

248
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 5: gun stops an elephant. To be honest with you, well,

249
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 5: elephants are big.

250
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 3: I gotta outrun it.

251
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 6: No, it's not me, especially the old line.

252
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 4: You just got to be faster than those eight women.

253
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 3: Faster than elephant, or at least one of them.

254
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, so the eight women that so first of all,

255
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 5: the first eight or nine days was me on my fellowship.

256
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 5: It was all in Cape Town. That was great, Uh,

257
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 5: you know that was I love those people. They've become

258
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 5: good friends of mine. And then it was me and

259
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 5: eight women for the next ten or eleven days that

260
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 5: I did not know. Ended up really liking all of them.

261
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 5: But that was a transition being one man with eight women.

262
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 5: You know, you have to see, you had to get

263
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 5: used to it. They ended up being great, and I

264
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 5: liked all of them, and they there from all over.

265
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 6: But you know I was, I.

266
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 5: Was like, it's weird to be the I don't know

267
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 5: that I was the manliest person to be honest with

268
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 5: you just because you know I'm I'm not. I'm not

269
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 5: that alpha, but I but I kind of had to

270
00:10:59,080 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 5: be for this trip.

271
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 8: So I was gonna ask you, did they hold your

272
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 8: hand and walk you through?

273
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 6: It's South Africa is like a very patriarchal.

274
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 5: Society, like like everyone talks to the man, which is

275
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 5: you know that's weird, Like everyone talks to the man.

276
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 5: So like I had to people would come to me

277
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 5: like I was a spokesperson for the group, and I wasn't.

278
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 5: I mean, I learned when you drew You're like, where

279
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 5: y'all want to go, That's where I'll go, right, I

280
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 5: sound like you rhyme, but that's true. When I have

281
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 5: eight of them, wherever y'all want to go, I'll go.

282
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 5: So I ended up being very differential. I probably talked

283
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 5: less on the second half than you. You wouldn't recognize

284
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 5: that you.

285
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 2: Need to add some females to ks on. That's how

286
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 2: we get Mathew finally stop talking as much.

287
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 3: But I would say, though, you.

288
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,239
Speaker 6: Know what Jerry, I'm talking about, Okay, talking.

289
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 2: About if I walked around though, when I saw one

290
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 2: guy with eight women surround him, I'm I five man man,

291
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 2: you had to be the most popular guys out there.

292
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 6: It's no doubt that some people talk to me like

293
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 6: these were my eight.

294
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 4: Wives, your reality show.

295
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 6: Some people would.

296
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 5: Talk like that, and I'd be like, no, it's not

297
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 5: like that, which is they're just teach to repel. But

298
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 5: I didn't get to repel. To answer your question, I

299
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 5: didn't get repelled because that was the day I was

300
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 5: trying to get my phone fixed and uh, but I

301
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 5: broke my phone. If you didn't listen to Cover zero,

302
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 5: I told this story on there in more detail. We

303
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 5: got on a boat to go to where Nelson Mandela

304
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 5: was held in prison. It's called Robin Island, and if

305
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 5: you ever get to go, highly recommend going. I mean,

306
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 5: Nelson twenty seven years in prison is one thing to

307
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 5: hear about here about it's another thing to see. And

308
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 5: it's a island about four miles off the coast of

309
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 5: Cape Town.

310
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 6: You have to take you have to take a boat.

311
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 6: It's very rocky weather, so like.

312
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 5: This is where the Pacific Ocean, excuse, the Atlantic Ocean

313
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 5: the Indian Ocean come together and it makes it very

314
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 5: bumpy and rocky. The boat trip was very, very rocky,

315
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 5: and they said make sure you sit down so that

316
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 5: you don't fall. So I had a seat right, and

317
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 5: then this woman comes over to me. She's nine, she's

318
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 5: probably in her eighties nineties, from the rural parts of

319
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 5: South Africa. She was with a group of ten women

320
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 5: who were coming to Robin Island from for the first time.

321
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 5: It was clearly very special to them, right, these ten

322
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 5: or twenty women, you know, they're like grandma's And you

323
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,719
Speaker 5: know I have a soft spot Ride, Yeah, you really do.

324
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 5: I have a soft spot for grandma's. And if ten

325
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 5: or twenty women are coming from rural South Africa to

326
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 5: see Nelson Mandela's prison for the first time, Drew, that's

327
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 5: a heartwarming story. And who am I to get in

328
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 5: the way of that? So I help these women on

329
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 5: the boat. I helped because what safety is not a thing.

330
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 5: They're big on a lot of stuff, So helping these

331
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 5: women on the boat, etc.

332
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 6: Well we're out on the boat. This woman sitting over here.

333
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 6: I'm here.

334
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 5: She just gets up in the middle of the boat,

335
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 5: ride looks at me and goes looks at me, points

336
00:13:54,640 --> 00:14:00,079
Speaker 5: and goes, get thump out of that chair. I just

337
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 5: looked at her and she said get up and I

338
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 5: was like, well, okay, what if you say whatever you

339
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 5: say Auntie, like right, and then someone takes her chairs.

340
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 5: The point is now, I got to stand during this thing,

341
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 5: and I was drinking a coke and I was having

342
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 5: a hard time having balance. This was the rockiest water

343
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 5: I've ever been in. So I put my coke in

344
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 5: the pocket of my jacket. I forgot my phone was

345
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 5: in there too, and so when it started rocking, I

346
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 5: got thrown into a wall. Coke poured over my phone

347
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 5: and drew. That's how I ended up ruining my iPhone

348
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 5: in South Africa.

349
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 9: I loved the trust in an open coke in the

350
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 9: pocket and out the phone though like that's just gonna stay.

351
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 6: It did not work, and that's shanon how I ended

352
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 6: up without it.

353
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 3: You didn't have another pocket on the other side of you.

354
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 6: I did, but I was trying not to throw up.

355
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, So there's.

356
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 5: Probably very few people who can say they ruined their

357
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 5: iPhone Ryan at the island where Nelson Mandela was held

358
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 5: for twenty seven years.

359
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 6: But I actually was one who did that with pocket

360
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 6: coats the pocket with a pocket coat. I did it.

361
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 7: So did was it a little liberating? Though you're not

362
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 7: attached to your phone twenty four hours a day.

363
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 5: It was, but it was first of all, yes, like

364
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 5: and you know, we here's one of the things I

365
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 5: think that I realize from it. A lot of the

366
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 5: bs that we take in every day.

367
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 6: We don't need to do that, sure, we really don't.

368
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 5: It's something that arguing and the yell, we really don't

369
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 5: need it, Like you can really cut that out of

370
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 5: your life, and it can be there's no reason to

371
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 5: sit there and watch people scream at each other. We

372
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 5: choose to do that. We don't need to do that.

373
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 6: So that was good.

374
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 5: But what I did miss was communicating with people, and

375
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 5: I did feel detached from like this world, this big

376
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 5: blue nation world, and I missed that, but I didn't miss.

377
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 6: A lot of the other stuff.

378
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 3: Well.

379
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 9: Last Saturday during the game, I poured diet coke on

380
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 9: my phone and my TV trying to not watch that.

381
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 4: So we were in a good spot.

382
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 5: But I want to talk about that because I do

383
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 5: think there's a lot to talk about about the status

384
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 5: of UK football.

385
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 6: The Athletic. The writer for The Athletic called.

386
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 5: Me and I think after the Georgia game, the Athletics

387
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 5: doing a pretty big feature on will Mark Stoops survive

388
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 5: at Kentucky and we talked for a long time. I

389
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 5: want to talk about that. And I also have to

390
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 5: note while I was gone, the Reds made the playoffs.

391
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 5: We will do all of that and be right back

392
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 5: here in Louisville. This is Kentucky Sports Radio.

393
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 6: We'll go back.

394
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 5: It is Kentucky Sports Radio AM nine two eight oh

395
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 5: twenty two eighty seven. Uh text machine seven seven two

396
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 5: seven seven four five two five four, So I don't

397
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 5: have access to the text machine, so I can't read question.

398
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 5: So I'm gonna give a couple that people wrote me

399
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 5: on Instagram that I'll answer real quick. One person, rights,

400
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 5: Matt Uh, what would you recommend coming back going to

401
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 5: South Africa on a trip for other people?

402
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 6: Yes, I think it's awesome.

403
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 5: A lot of the stereotype, you know what, people got

404
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 5: me worried before I left Drew because everybody was going, oh,

405
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 5: you're it's dangerous. They don't they're gonna you know, it's

406
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 5: it's fine, Like you do have to keep your I'm

407
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 5: not gonna lie. You have to keep your wits about you.

408
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 5: Like there are parts of town that the locals said

409
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 5: to me, I wouldn't go in those parts. So it's

410
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 5: just you have to you have to know where you are.

411
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 5: But in general, I definitely would go. I think a

412
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 5: lot of the stereotypes that i'd heard before were not

413
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 5: true at all. I think we just we just sort

414
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 5: of take it for granted that whatever we hear from

415
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 5: media about the rest of the world, well, that has

416
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 5: to be how it is. I didn't find that to

417
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 5: be the case, although I will not that Johannesburg is

418
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 5: chaotic and wild. So but if you went, if you

419
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 5: just went to Cape Town, you'd have an amazing blast.

420
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 4: I'd rather go to johannes Very That's fun to me.

421
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 9: If only you had pictures to show us of all this,

422
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 9: I would like to in your brain.

423
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 6: No pictures.

424
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 5: I did ask some of the women with me if

425
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 5: they would take pictures so that I could have them

426
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 5: when so that I could prove the people I went.

427
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 8: If there's one of you standing on the shores of

428
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 8: what Cape Fear?

429
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 6: Cape Fear is No, that's a movie, and that's that'd

430
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 6: be cool. That's a movie. And that's in North Carolina. Sorry.

431
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 5: Close the Cape of Good Hope, Cape of Good Hot

432
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 5: stood on the Edge, which which was maybe the most

433
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 5: beautiful view I've ever seen in my life, Cape of

434
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 5: Good Hope, right the southwest tip of Africa, where you

435
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 5: look out into the ocean. That was very I did

436
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 5: get a video, but again I didn't take that chin

437
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 5: and I had to get somebody to take it.

438
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 2: For I understand now going back to the yogurt story

439
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 2: real quick, because this is the one I want to

440
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 2: focus on for just a second. When the guy said

441
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 2: that you need a chaperone across the street, yes, did

442
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 2: you not think that maybe this guy he lives there,

443
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 2: he knows what he's talking about.

444
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 3: Maybe I should take him up on that.

445
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 5: Well, So I drove in in the middle of the

446
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 5: night or had an uber so I couldn't see the

447
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 5: surrounding neighbor. But there was, like I could see across

448
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 5: the street a mall, so I thought, you know, I

449
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 5: can get that yogurt. Turns out he was ridiculous. Right

450
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 5: next to the yogurt store was a rolex place I

451
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 5: would have been fined. Yeah, but there are parts of

452
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 5: the I will say, to be fair to the guy,

453
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 5: there are parts of that city that I wouldn't have

454
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,199
Speaker 5: gone without a like we So I went to a

455
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 5: park called Soweto and if you get the chance y'all

456
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 5: to look it up sometime, it's called Soweto for Southwest Territories. Basically,

457
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 5: during apartheid, the government any African American that was living

458
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 5: in parts of the city, they just moved them all out.

459
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,479
Speaker 5: They made them all leave and go out, and they

460
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 5: created these shanty towns on the outside of town and

461
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 5: they made them all move there. They basically this is

462
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 5: like in the fifties and sixties, just completely moved out

463
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 5: millions of people. So we went walking through one of

464
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 5: those places, and I mean, I'll I'll remember it forever.

465
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 5: It's the worst poverty I've ever seen in my life.

466
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 5: You know, there's a lot of times I'm the same way.

467
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 5: We complained about how bad things are and this and that.

468
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 5: There's a lot I complained about in America. There's a

469
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 5: lot of other people complained about. You guys should say

470
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 5: a prayer every single night of thanks because you, like

471
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 5: you can't you can't picture how some people in this

472
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 5: world have to live. Some of the saddest scenes that

473
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 5: I've ever seen, And we went walking through them. And

474
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 5: I've been to the poorest parts of apple Atch up

475
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 5: in the Hollers and I've seen some places that are very,

476
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 5: very sad. Now, imagine you take those places and you

477
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 5: put a million people and you make them live on

478
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 5: top of each other, right like on top of each other,

479
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 5: eight people in a room the size fifteen people in

480
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 5: the room of the.

481
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 6: Size of this shady race right here.

482
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 5: So when you see that, it's it's disheartening and it's tough,

483
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 5: and it's you know, it's nerve wracking. Listen, when you're

484
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 5: six foot four and you look like me and you're

485
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 5: you're white, and you're walking through these places, you start

486
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 5: to know like you can't help but feel like everyone's

487
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 5: looking at you and you can't help it. But I'm

488
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 5: so glad I did it, because there will be a

489
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 5: time where I will have something that I'm really upset

490
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 5: about and I'll be ready to complain, and I will

491
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 5: just sit and think of that image, Ryan, and go,

492
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 5: you know what, things are pretty good here. There's I'm

493
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 5: standing here in a city where everyone here has access

494
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 5: to pretty much everything, even if they're not and if

495
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 5: they don't have money, a lot of money, you can

496
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 5: get by.

497
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 6: Like it's a different thing over there.

498
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 8: Sad just hearing you talk about it.

499
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 6: It is such your heart.

500
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 5: Listen, that society is got the greatest wealth disparity of

501
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 5: any society in the country. You can see some of

502
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 5: the nicest mansions you've ever seen in your life. Drive

503
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 5: four blocks and people are living in absolute squalor and it's

504
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 5: four blocks away, and you just go, goodn crief, How

505
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 5: in the world does this happen?

506
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 8: Was this part of your the fellowship where you guys

507
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 8: it was part of a group field trip.

508
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 6: It was actually part of the second part they wanted

509
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 6: to see. They want us to see the actual local community.

510
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 6: And I'm glad we did it. And then, uh, you know, because.

511
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 5: The history there, like, it's a lot of lessons for here,

512
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 5: and I don't want to get into all that. I

513
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 5: may do that on the Matt Jones podcast sometime, but

514
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 5: a lot of lessons. But the thing I learned the most,

515
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 5: I'm coming out of there saying I'm going to be

516
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 5: more appreciative even in the worst time, Shannon, for what

517
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 5: life is like for all of us as apt to

518
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 5: you know, it's one.

519
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 6: Plane trip away.

520
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 5: It's people who share the same earth as us, same God, etcetera,

521
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 5: who live a completely different existence than we can even imagine.

522
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 2: Gives a whole new perspective that you aren't even really

523
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 2: truly aware of. I mean, you see these things, I'm sure,

524
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 2: but then when you see them in person, it's got to,

525
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 2: you know, change you for the better. And it sounds

526
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 2: like you took that away from your trip and.

527
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 6: I hope so. Yeah.

528
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 5: And also by not having a phone, Yeah, Drew, you're

529
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 5: living in the moment walking there, and there's also not

530
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 5: because there's nothing else to look at.

531
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean it stinks. We need those reminders, but

532
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 9: thanks for sharing that, because we all need to realize

533
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:32,040

Speaker 6: We came in.

535
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,239
Speaker 5: But I do want, I do want to make it

536
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 5: overall very positive because I did have a great time.

Speaker 5: American owned company here at Shady Raise, quickly tell me

552
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 5: the summary because I don't know the specifics. What because

553
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 5: this was the day I lost my phone. Did Mark

554
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 5: Pope and Pat Kelsey get in a fight?

555
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 7: Uh, didn't get into a fight. It was a take

556
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 7: Kenny visiting him, and the period to visit him started

557
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 7: at midnight. So apparently Pope had scheduled like twelve midnight

558
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 7: to twelve fifteen, and Kelsey was coming in right behind

559
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 7: him twelve fifteen to twelve thirty. Well, traffic, things got happened.

560
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 7: It was down in Atlanta. Pope got there late, so

561
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 7: Kelsey went in.

562
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 3: A little early.

563
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 6: Okay.

564
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 7: So when they came back out, they had a little

565
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 7: had some words. No nothing physical, and apparently they even

566
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 7: hugged it out when it was over.

567
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 5: They had words like in his yard, yeah, and he's

568
00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 5: kind of awesome.

569
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 6: Sir Franklin, I like I would.

570
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 5: I imagine you're a high school recruit and two of

571
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 5: the biggest coaches in the country, at least one of

572
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 5: the biggest, another one really tiny, getting a fight right

573
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 5: in your yard.

574
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the visual think.

575
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 9: I think the height differential makes this so much more entertaining.

576
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 9: When this first leaked out on message boards in the Internet,

577
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 9: it was like, take Kenny's dad has pulled him off

578
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 9: of each other and there were baseball bats. It was like,

579
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 9: greatly exaggerated there for a little bit, but it does

580
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 9: it seems like the consensus has come out that they

581
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 9: were yelling at each other pretty good.

582
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 5: Outside people were riding me Shannon going, what do you

583
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 5: think about Mark Pope beating up.

584
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 6: Pat Kelcey, And I was like, what, yeah, I did.

585
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 5: I had no context, cause, like I only had access

586
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 5: to the news, and it was like, that wasn't on

587
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 5: the news, So I go, did that really happen? I

588
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 5: was getting excited, but it sounds like maybe.

589
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 3: It was greatly exaggerated.

590
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 2: The most embarrassing part of the story, though, is that

591
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 2: take Kenny didn't pick either one of them.

592
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 6: He went to.

593
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 3: Kansas after all of that, he ended up picking Kansas.

594
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 5: All right, let's talk to you k football. I watched

595
00:24:55,000 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 5: the first half of South Carolina disaster, every thing, you know,

596
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 5: everything that's frustrated me about the last few years. The

597
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 5: Stoops era kind of summed up there into the first half.

598
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 5: Problems again, two turnovers that end up in touchdowns, an

599
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 5: offense that looked completely lost to me. So I had

600
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 5: a lot of time to sit and think about it,

601
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 5: and Drew, here's where I am. Mark's gotta finish the season,

602
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 5: and I think fans should support the team. I know

603
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be watching the game tomorrow. Hopefully people come

604
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 5: out to ks Bar and root like heck for him.

605
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 5: Everybody did against South Carolina. We were full from the

606
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 5: South Carolina game of people being excited. Look, we got

607
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 5: seven what eight games left? We might as well might

608
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,959
Speaker 5: as well cheer and be excited. With that said, you

609
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 5: can't this can't continue to go on like this. Kentucky

610
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 5: football is a and I said this to the athletic yesterday.

611
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 5: Right now, to me, it's a terrible combination of not

612
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 5: good and boring, which is an awful conversation, all awful combination.

613
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 5: Not only do we really not does it not feel

614
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 5: like we have a chance to win these games. They're

615
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 5: also awful to watch. Our offense is just a complete disaster.

616
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 5: I don't blame Cutter Bowley. I gotta be honest with you.

617
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 5: I don't really blame Zach Calzada, and I'm now going

618
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 5: back and not blaming Broan Vanagriff and not blaming even

619
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 5: Devin Leary. At some point, when you bring in four

620
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 5: high profile quarterbacks and none of them work, you have

621
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 5: to sit there and go, all right, maybe it's maybe

622
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 5: it's us.

623
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 6: Not then, right, At some point you have to say that.

624
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 5: I also would say when you have an offensive coordinator

625
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 5: that was here and is now three and one in

626
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 5: the NFL and it's kind of the toast of the

627
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 5: NFL and here the offense sputtered, you do have to

628
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 5: sit here and ask, well, maybe it's not them, maybe

629
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 5: it's us.

630
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 6: Right, when we have guys that.

631
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 5: Are playing in the NFL who were free agents that

632
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 5: played here and yet we're part of defenses or part

633
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 5: of offenses that didn't have success, at some point you

634
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 5: have to sit here and say, maybe it's not them,

635
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 5: maybe it's us. There's only one uncommon denominator and all this. Honestly,

636
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 5: it's Mark. And for me, Mark's got eight games or

637
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:12,719
Speaker 5: seven games whatever left for me to see if I

638
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 5: have any confidence. But at this point, if it doesn't

639
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 5: get better, Drew, you can't bring this back next year.

640
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 6: You cannot.

641
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 5: You cannot if the program is not significantly better in November, Drew,

642
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 5: you can't run this back again.

643
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 9: No, this is kind of the we're running it back

644
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 9: this year because they win and got forty or fifty

645
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 9: new players and you hit the reset button and it's

646
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 9: all right now. Show us that you've got this back

647
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 9: on track. And so far it's not looking to be

648
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 9: back on the track, or even near a track at all.

649
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 9: I can't even see a track. I hate how you know,

650
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,479
Speaker 9: the two defensive touchdowns, that's awful. You're not gonna win

651
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 9: a game ever like that. But even then it's twenty

652
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 9: one to ten in the second quarter. Yes, but when

653
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 9: you're Kentucky football, twenty one to ten is lights out.

654
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 4: It should not be.

655
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 9: The case that you're an SEC football team and it's

656
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 9: over a top ten paid cover and if you're down ten,

657
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 9: it's like, well, what could we possibly do down ten?

658
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 9: There's just they're not able to create explosive plays or

659
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 9: come from behind in a gap, whatsoever. If they don't

660
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 9: get that first touchdown in which they did Saturday, if

661
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 9: they don't just hang on to that with good defense,

662
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 9: then they just can't outscore teams.

663
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 5: For me, it's a very simple question. And let's I mean,

664
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 5: we got a huge crowd here today. I mean, let

665
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 5: me just ask, is anyone in this crowd looking forward

666
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 5: to watching that game tomorrow?

667
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 6: Guy? Okay, two guys. That's good.

668
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 5: We've got one hundred plus people here. There's two guys

669
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 5: raising their hand cover. I'm watching it, Ryan. I want

670
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 5: us to win, but I'm not looking forward to it

671
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 5: because I know what's gonna happen.

672
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 6: Here's what's going to happen tomorrow.

673
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 5: We're going to be oddly more competitive than you think,

674
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,959
Speaker 5: but never have a chance to win the game, and

675
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 5: really never have. So we're gonna lose like thirty to thirteen,

676
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 5: and it's gonna be like we've always been in it.

677
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 5: But there's never gonna be one moment in this game

678
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 5: where anybody thinks we had a chance to win the game.

679
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 6: That's gonna be what it is tomorrow.

680
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 5: The final score will be maybe it'll be thirty seven thirteen,

681
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 5: but it was like twenty to thirteen halfway through the

682
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 5: third quarter, and we had the ball with a chance

683
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 5: to tie, and then we just got two yards and

684
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 5: punted and then that was it. Right, Ryan, that's gonna

685
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 5: be the game. We've seen it a million times. I

686
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 5: think it's gonna happen again.

687
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 8: I think you're probably right.

688
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 7: You know, I gotta admit last weekend and we took

689
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 7: the first drive and we got a touchdown. Second drive,

690
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 7: we got a field go out like okay, they've got

691
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 7: the offense figured out, and then just nothing after that

692
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 7: and then you know, Coach Dups on his Coaches show

693
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 7: this week didn't offer any excuses, but he also didn't

694
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 7: offer any solutions.

695
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 9: But he also had one phone call from what I understand, yeah,

696
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 9: thirty minutes in and not because he wouldn't take them,

697
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 9: because no one's calling, Like that's the problem.

698
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 6: Is apathy.

699
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 5: The thing that kills your program, Shannon, is apathy. We

700
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 5: were getting towards the end of cow with a little

701
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 5: bit of apathy. You can't have that. We are in

702
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 5: apathy and next week, big blue madness is happening on

703
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 5: an off week of UK football at that moment, this

704
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 5: show will only be talking about basketball.

705
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 6: Let's be real.

706
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not saying that's what it should be,

707
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 5: but that's what it'll be. Every single one of you

708
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 5: all will be asking me questions about basketball, will be

709
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 5: talking about the roster, will be looking at the schedule.

710
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 5: It's gonna be like, it's gonna be out of mind,

711
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 5: and then Texas is gonna come.

712
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 3: Yep, right, Tennessee, and then.

713
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 6: Tennessee's gonna come.

714
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 5: And then by the time we get to games that

715
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 5: in theory we co it could be competitive against Auburn Vandy.

716
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 5: We're gonna be playing basketball against the number one team

717
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,959
Speaker 5: in America, Purdue. We're gonna have Louisville just around the corner,

718
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 5: and those bat football games are gonna be like, well

719
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 5: they're on. I guess I'll watch it. But Shannon, apathy

720
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 5: is gonna hit and you in twenty twenty five, when

721
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 5: nil and everything is so important, you cannot have apathy

722
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 5: in your football, and we have it.

723
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 2: You know, I think back to the Joker Joker Phillips era,

724
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 2: the first couple of years of the Mark Stoops era.

725
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 2: About this time of year, we all shift our attention

726
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 2: to basketball, but then Stupents kind of took that away.

727
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 3: For a while when I ask with success.

728
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 2: But now I feel like we're trending back to those

729
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 2: early Mark Stoops years to where we're now to the

730
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 2: point where we don't care and we're ready for basketball

731
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 2: October the third.

732
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 6: There's one more thing that in this.

733
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 5: When I was talking to the athletic yesterday, they were

734
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 5: talking Drew about and they pointed this out because they

735
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 5: were asking they will asked me a question about it.

736
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 5: But then he pointed it out, and I went, man,

737
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 5: that's a good point, all right. So what teams Drew

738
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 5: Ryan are on our level in theory, in the.

739
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 6: Sec IS programs, What are the teams on our level?

740
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 6: Mississippi State, Misissippi State.

741
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 5: Mississippi State beat a team that was in the playoff

742
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 5: last year at home this year, nearly beat Tennessee at

743
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 5: home last week. Mississippi State, I think we would all say,

744
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 5: is clearly.

745
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 6: On the rise.

746
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 5: Who else miss Missouri two years ago went is won

747
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 5: ten plus games, would have been in the playoff if

748
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 5: we had the current playoff system, and it is five

749
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 5: and zero right now.

750
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 6: It's another one you'd think Vandy is well.

751
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 5: Vandy is in a game today that's scored again. Game tomorrow,

752
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 5: that's game day against Alabama with a chance to really,

753
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 5: if they win tomorrow, have a shot.

754
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 6: At going to the playoff. Vander Built Football. What else? Uh, well,

755
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 6: South Carolina was in South Carolina. We are uncompetitive against

756
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 6: South Carolina in the last two year.

757
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 8: They've won the last four in a row again.

758
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 6: And we have not been competitive in the last two games.

759
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 6: Who else?

760
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 8: Arkansas?

761
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 5: Arkansas just fired their coach and decided we're not gonna

762
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,479
Speaker 5: be on this level anymore.

763
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 6: And they've decided to make a change.

764
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 5: Now, you just hit the five teams that I think

765
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 5: are on Kentucky's level and drew every single one of them.

766
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 5: Every single one of them is either much better and

767
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 5: on the rise or has made a coaching change. We

768
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 5: are definitively sixteenth out of sixteen in the SEC. We

769
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 5: are literally definitively there's not even an argument.

770
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 6: We are sixteenth out of sixteen.

771
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 3: Drew that.

772
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 6: You just can't be that. You just can't be that.

773
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 9: And that's why if you want to talk pony up

774
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 9: at nil and the things for Kentucky's at a disadvantage,

775
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 9: I'll hear you. When we're having a conversation about trying

776
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 9: to knock down the Georgia wall or get to, you know,

777
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 9: an SEC championship. But these other schools have just as

778
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 9: many disadvantages, Vandy even more, and they figured it out.

779
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 9: You can go outside the conference. Look at Indiana right now.

780
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 9: I mean they went and got a coaching hire who

781
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 9: has completely turned a program that was nothing into a

782
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 9: contender and a playoff contender. So you know, we can

783
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 9: talk all day about well he doesn't have enough money,

784
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 9: Well he has enough money to be better than sixteenth

785
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 9: in the country. We'll talk to the money and when

786
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 9: you're trying to get to fourth, fifth in the conference.

787
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 9: Right now, we just need to not be dead last.

788
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 6: So our goal here is to at least we may

789
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 6: We will never be on the.

790
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 5: Level of Alabama, Georgia, lsu in like Texas in terms

791
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 5: of resources, but our goal was to get to a

792
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 5: level that was like the Tennessee, Florida, Old miss that level,

793
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 5: well that level, forget that. We're now in the last

794
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 5: level that Mississippi State, South Carolina, of Vandy, Arkansas, Missouri,

795
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 5: and within that level we are definitively the worst situation. Definitively,

796
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 5: it's not even arguable. We're definitively the worst situation. And Ryan,

797
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 5: you can't keep that up when they go into this offseason.

798
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 5: If they're gonna fix this, they're gonna need twenty million

799
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 5: dollars worth of players. Who's given that money? Who's given

800
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 5: that money? If you don't have a change, we we

801
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 5: have to either improve exponentially or this is gonna have

802
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 5: to switch.

803
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 7: I think what hurts us as a fan that I

804
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 7: think we had fought and clawed our way back up

805
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 7: to get into that middle tier a little bit. We

806
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 7: were ahead of these figh schools you're talking about, but

807
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 7: now we've dropped, not just with them, we're below them.

808
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, you got an Auburn hat on, sir. We were

809
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 5: spoke last year. That was a game.

810
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 6: If you want to be successful in the SEC, you

811
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 6: have to beat Auburn at home. You have to. You

812
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 6: have to.

813
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 5: And when we did, we not win. I think we

814
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 5: got dragged if I remember correctly. Now we're going there,

815
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 5: Now we're going there. I just don't have any confidence.

816
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 6: So I hate it. I like Mark Stoops, and I

817
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 6: will say this, Mark.

818
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 5: Stoops is, in my opinion, the best coach Kentucky has

819
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 5: had in modern college football in my lifetime, the best

820
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 5: and if he and one day when he's gone, everyone

821
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 5: should applaud him, and one day we should honor him

822
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 5: in the way we've done Tubby Smith and Rick Patino,

823
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 5: et cetera. But it's not about what you did in

824
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 5: the past, Ryan, it's about the future. And I don't

825
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 5: see a way that this fan base can continue on

826
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:45,840
Speaker 5: the trajectory.

827
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 7: It is no because there's no answer for this season.

828
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 7: I think we're in just for a long, hard, ugly season.

829
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 7: The rest of the way we bought in. You know,

830
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 7: they were so quiet this spring. Maybe that's why they

831
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 7: were quiet. Maybe they knew we were gonna have a

832
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:56,240
Speaker 7: bad season.

833
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 6: Think they were quite because they knew were gonna stink.

834
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 9: Maybe so, or maybe then they checked out on the

835
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 9: off season completely, even though they deny it, they did.

836
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 9: They didn't spring game, they didn't even act like there

837
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 9: was a spring game. But part of that was, you know,

838
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 9: you talk to people in the.

839
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 4: Circle who are like, well, it's a quiet confidence.

840
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 9: They're just gonna catch everyone off guard, right, But they

841
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 9: did so now they're here and there's nothing. It's like, well,

842
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 9: what did we just do all year?

843
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 5: I said during the offseason. If you're gonna be like this,

844
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 5: will you better be good? You know, if you're not

845
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 5: gonna get fans engaged, will you better be good? And

846
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,439
Speaker 5: they weren't good. UK Federal Credit Union. If you would

860
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,280
Speaker 5: one's fifty percent off. The entire purchase is fifty percent off. Wow,

861
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 5: so that's pretty good. They got sunglasses in there you

862
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 5: can get basically, if you get two of the same one,

863
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 5: you get two for the price of one. So that's

864
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:17,240
Speaker 5: during the show today and after the show in store.

865
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 5: Uh right here, so make sure you do that A

866
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 5: fund nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. I

867
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 5: want to talk some basketball in the second hour. Before

868
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,320
Speaker 5: we get to that, let's go to a couple other things.

869
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 5: Bruce Pearl is no longer the coach. Drew Franklin, I

870
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 5: have some strong thoughts about that, But what do you

871
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 5: think about him resigning? Apparently he's not gonna run for senate,

872
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 5: so I don't know what he's gonna do. But my

873
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,720
Speaker 5: guess is he's gonna end up with a conservative political

874
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 5: talk show.

875
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 6: That's my guess. But what do you think about him

876
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 6: not being a coach?

877
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 4: I was surprised he actually did it.

878
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 9: You know, it was rumored for a few weeks that

879
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 9: he was considering stepping away for a senate run. But

880
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 9: I thought, you know, he has the political interest, He's

881
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 9: very open about it. I thought that was just him

882
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 9: being a part of the conversation, not that he would

883
00:37:56,120 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 9: actually retire a year removed from what winning and run,

884
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,800
Speaker 9: winning the regular season, making the final four. I thought

885
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 9: he'd still try to go a little bit longer, to

886
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 9: try to actually get a national championship since he's been

887
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:08,439
Speaker 9: so close.

888
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:09,280
Speaker 4: So I was shocked.

889
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 5: What an absolutely ryan, completely selfish action by Bruce Pearl. No,

890
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 5: it is, it's completely selfish. Wait till two weeks before

891
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 5: the year. Your players cannot transfer, right, you put the

892
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 5: school in a position. I mean they can, but they

893
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 5: can't really because where are they gonna go? Like everybody

894
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 5: else has already filled their rosters. I mean maybe the

895
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 5: top guy could go, but most of the guys are

896
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 5: gonna be stuck there. Plus the semesters already started it

897
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 5: like he waited until they got till the end of

898
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 5: the side, Like you can't even enroll at some of

899
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 5: these schools this lay.

900
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 6: Then you make it to where the school has to

901
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 6: pick your son.

902
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 5: Now they were probably gonna pick his son anyway, but

903
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 5: you wait till rite before the season, and then they

904
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 5: have to pick your son. So you end up with

905
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 5: a situation like Villanova did with Jay Wright, where he

906
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 5: did it to where they had to pick the assistant

907
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 5: and then that guy ended up not being very good.

908
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 5: So you're coming completely selfish. You spent the last few

909
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 5: months basically saying you didn't want to be the coach,

910
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 5: but you didn't have the guts to actually do it. Instead,

911
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 5: you trapped everybody and waited until the last minute to

912
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 5: do it. Bruce Pearl's a great coach. I think Bruce

913
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 5: Pearl's really funny. Really, I like Bruce Pearl. If he

914
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 5: came here right now, I'd say, hey man, great to

915
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 5: see you. You've done great, we can be friendly. But

916
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 5: that was a completely selfish action that now he's done

917
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:34,720
Speaker 5: the Jay Wright did, Tony Bennett did. I think these coaches,

918
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 5: it is unbelievable to me that they would do that

919
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 5: and put their teams in that position.

920
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I'm a Bruce Pearl supporter. I've always

921
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 7: liked Bruce Pearl, but the timing of it. He put

922
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 7: the Auburn basketball program put him in handcuffs. Nothing they

923
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 7: can do nothing, They could do, nothing they could do,

924
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 7: and they've made it.

925
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 5: I think Shannon he doesn't even help his son because

926
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 5: rather than his son getting an off season to build

927
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 5: the team in his image and to get some time, now,

928
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 5: if they don't succeed, they'll be they'll put it on

929
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 5: his son. He didn't even get that long to do it.

930
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 5: He didn't even get to establish he's now he's got

931
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 5: his dad's culture with the team. I just I see it.

932
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:09,720
Speaker 5: I know we have an Auburn fan. You might disagree

933
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 5: with me, but I just think that was just a

934
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 5: completely selfish act by him for an otherwise great coach

935
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 5: who really has built something awesome at all.

936
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 3: I agree with you.

937
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,760
Speaker 2: You should have announced that last March. I was also

938
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 2: shocked to see the news. Also kind of surprised they

939
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 2: signed Steven Pearl to a five year deal. I mean, yeah, exactly,

940
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 2: and I think Bruce Pearl they said he's gonna be

941
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 2: like an ambassador to the program.

942
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 3: I'm not really sure what that even means.

943
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,760
Speaker 6: But if you were Steven, would you want him around?

944
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 4: No.

945
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 5: I wouldn't want my dad over there. Like like, if

946
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 5: you're gonna make it on your own, you need to

947
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 5: establish I mean, I could see Bruce showing up at

948
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 5: practice and telling Steven shut up and starting to coach.

949
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:45,360
Speaker 3: Well, he's the ambassador.

950
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 5: I guess he could do, you know what I mean, Like,

951
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 5: I wouldn't want that if I was Steven.

952
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 9: To be honest, No, I expect Bruce sitting in the

953
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 9: corner at practice with a whistle and a clipboard and

954
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 9: he won't chime in a lot, but his presence is

955
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 9: just enough that it's a distraction and it won't feel

956
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 9: like they've really handed things over. I feel like now

957
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 9: that we've seen Tony Bennett just do it last year,

958
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:05,439
Speaker 9: you mentioned Jay Wright.

959
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 4: There's probably others at other levels. We don't even know.

960
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,359
Speaker 9: These are three high profile schools. Is this like a

961
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 9: move that coaches will start doing with that question like

962
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 9: this because there is no doubt at respect programs, because

963
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 9: I don't think anyone expects that it's gonna work for

964
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 9: Steven and it probably won't work at Virginia and it

965
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 9: didn't work at Vildova.

966
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 5: It's been pretty clear for a while. And by the way,

967
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 5: this is fine. He's a grown man, like he has

968
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 5: a right to do whatever. It's been clear for a while.

969
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 5: His mind is on a different world. He wants to

970
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 5: be involved in politics. It's clear he does interview after

971
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 5: interview after interview about politics, which is totally fine. But

972
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 5: if you want to do that, Bruce, go do it right,

973
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,280
Speaker 5: Go do it. Maybe you'll be successful, maybe you won't,

974
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 5: but go do it. But this, I think Auburn basketball

975
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 5: is gonna take a step back, and they didn't need to,

976
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 5: and they're going to because of his selfish.

977
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, Bruce Pearl built Auburn basketball and one of the

978
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 7: best teams in the conference, one of the best teams

979
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:57,280
Speaker 7: in the country.

980
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 8: Stephen Pearl didn't even get the Murray State job.

981
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 6: That's a really good point to runner up for Murray. Well,

982
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 6: you know now be coaching Auburn.

983
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 5: We'll take a break, come back, talk some the UK

984
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 5: basketball next
