00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: March twenty fourth, on what might be one of the

14
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 2: busier days in KSR recent history. I think about this,

15
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 2: there are probably four things that we could talk about

16
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: that would lead and drive entire shows, And if you

17
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 2: just look at Mark Pope's comments, there were probably four

18
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: or five different things than that that could have lived.

19
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 2: I mean, there's probably seven or eight things that could

20
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 2: have led a show here today, but we can't do it.

21
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 2: We will do them all, but we can't do them

22
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 2: as long. But you can give us down on the

00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 2: called TJ He'll make them pay. There are I would

28
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 2: say four main things, Like I said, you could drive

29
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 2: a show. One is Pope's press conference. Chances are that'll

30
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 2: be the focus of a lot of what we say.

31
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: His well, I say, press conference is more than he

32
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: did a radio show right and said a ton of stuff.

33
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,919
Speaker 2: I mean, I think I tweeted for an hour straight

34
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,919
Speaker 2: just on the stuff he said. Uh. The UK women

35
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: while that was going on, won an insane game against

36
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 2: West Virginia which they really dominated throughout and then nearly

37
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 2: lost at the end. And Kenny Brooks, who I love

38
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: Kenny Brooks like the best dude, and I think a

39
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: great coach, had maybe the worst second of basketball I've

40
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: ever seen a coach. We escaped it, we did, but

41
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: we got to talk about these time management in that

42
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 2: last second. But they won, and now they're going to

43
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 2: Sweet sixteen for the first time since twenty sixteen. I

44
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 2: had not realized it had been ten years since the

45
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: women have gone to the Sweet sixteen.

46
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 4: I didn't realize it's been that long either. That's a

47
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 4: long drive.

48
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 2: That's a long time. I you know, good, that's awesome

49
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 2: because I did not realize it had been that long.

50
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: It doesn't feel that long.

51
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, they said it on the broadcast. As soon as

52
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 5: the game ended, and I went to type a tweet

53
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 5: and I stopped. I was like, did I hear him correctly?

54
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 5: I had line to be sure.

55
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: That was amazing. Then prominent UK donor Brett Setzer both

56
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 2: did an interview and ended up in a Herald Leader

57
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 2: article with Linda Blackford and our own Drew Franklin scooped

58
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: the letter that he sent to UK demanding the reversal

59
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 2: of the Mitch Barnhardt nine hundred and fifty thousand dollars

60
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 2: a year contract. Drew doing some investigatives, investigatory you me,

61
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 2: You and Linda Blackford. Really, you and Linda Blackford more

62
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 2: than anybody. You two knuckleheads, just really going after this story.

63
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I had a knucklehead phone call today. Us knuckleheads

64
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 5: got to stick together from time to time. Yeah, look

65
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 5: at this, we got like a real journalist here.

66
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 2: And then DeMarcus Cousins goes on TV yesterday and it

67
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 2: breaks my heart on television taking a shot at me

68
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 2: out of nowhere. Yeah, what was that all about on television? Yeah,

69
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: I don't know. That bummed me out. I mean, I

70
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: guess we'll just start with that real quick. That bummed

71
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: me out. I know, you don't you have to take that.

72
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 2: I don't. I'm not trying to. I'm not trying to

73
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 2: get into DeMarcus. If you're saying to me, Matt Jones,

74
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: who are like your three favorite players of all time

75
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 2: at UK? I mean there's a lot, but if you're

76
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: just talking about on the court, I put John and

77
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: DeMarcus together, the John Wall DeMarcus Cousins. For me, it's

78
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: like Tayshawn Prince, John wal De, Marcus Cousins and I

79
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 2: don't know, Jamal mcglure yeah, and probably Jamal mcglure. So

80
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: it was that was a bummer. He goes on TV

81
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 2: and says, you know, we got to stop listening to

82
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 2: to Matt Jones talk about basketball. I mean, he's not wrong.

83
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 2: I don't know anything but that. That's stunk And it

84
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 2: made me sad.

85
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 5: I was confused because his other comments seemed to be.

86
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: Said, is what I've said. He said, you know, we've

87
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 2: got to start realizing these players don't know what the

88
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 2: jersey means come to Kentucky. Though. He literally it was

89
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 2: almost if he heard the postgame show and then said

90
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 2: exactly what I said. You know, I mean, DeMarcus is

91
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 2: very close to Cal, Cal's and Cal of a great relationship.

92
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 2: Cal was great to him. DeMarcus was mad when Cal

93
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 2: left at me, uh, and and that stinks. But I

94
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 2: haven't talked to him since then. You know, we were

95
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 2: uh when he was here. You know, he was the

96
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: he was the best, and we had a really good relationship.

97
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 2: But I always had it after that. I mean, you

98
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 2: went out to Sacramento at him, So I mean, I mean,

99
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 2: this is mister president, this is DeMarcus cousin. So I'm

100
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 2: not gonna lie and not say it. It made me sad,

101
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 2: like it did you know? When I saw that I

102
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 2: was with, I had a friend in town who's been

103
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: who hasn't been here in like six months. I was

104
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 2: excited to uh to see her and we were eating

105
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 2: lunch and I just was like, oh man, that stinks.

106
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 2: But you know, I think people were like, go to

107
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 2: me trying to say, are you going to say something?

108
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 2: I'm not. I love that dude. Like he's earned his right.

109
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 2: Guys who played here, they've earned the right they can

110
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 2: say whatever. Uh, next time I see him, I'm sure

111
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 2: i'll run into him sometime. I hope he'll he'll put

112
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 2: me in a headlock and it'll be like conversation. I

113
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 2: hope he does, because I'm not. I'm not. I'll tell

114
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 2: you one thing I'm not gonna do. I'm not fighting

115
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 2: with DeMarcus because whether physically or metaphoric, because I I

116
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 2: love that dude, and and so you know.

117
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 4: But I first saw it what you just said, I

118
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 4: felt like he was just sharing the narrative he got

119
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 4: from Coach cal Well.

120
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't want to say that because that

121
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 2: that makes it sound like he can't come up with

122
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 2: his own opinions, which I which he can't. But he's

123
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 2: very loyal to Coach cass Is. I mean, we'll do it.

124
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 2: We'll use it like this. Right, So if I, let's say,

125
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 2: me and you, somebody out there was being really critical

126
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 2: of you, and even if I liked that person, so

127
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 2: like if Dan Orlovsky was like Ryan limmon Is terrible

128
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 2: as a as a radio host. I could see me going,

129
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 2: we got to stop listening to dan Orlovsky about radio, right,

130
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 2: because for you, my loyalty is going to be more

131
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 2: to you than to dan Orlovsky. Even though I like

132
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 2: dan Orlovsky. That's how I look at it. So I mean,

133
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 2: his loyalties more to Cow and it should be like

134
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 2: he's he's had a great life and Cows big part

135
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 2: of that. So I get it.

136
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he is maybe one of the closest to

137
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 5: cal from that hil aera, Cow him on the right

138
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 5: track and helping him with his.

139
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 2: Maybe the closes is that by me. I'm not, but

140
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 2: but you know what, we we move on. Everybody who

141
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 2: really knows me, like was checking him. Hey dude, all right?

142
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 2: Even my mom from Wheaton College was she called like

143
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 2: three times. I was like, okay, che Michelle Beadle. She

144
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 2: knows how what Michelle Beadle was about. I heard her

145
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 2: like laughing in the background. I don't even know Michelle Beatle.

146
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 2: How does Michelle Beadle even know who I am? I

147
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 2: don't know. We need the longer clip. Probably does, I

148
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 2: don't know, probably just laughing along. Ha ha.

149
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 3: You know, like when somebody says.

150
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 2: Something I don't know, want the long I saw the

151
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 2: longer clip. Literally it was as random as it looked.

152
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 2: He just kind of out of now.

153
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 5: I love the clue. He's got the Cal connection. But

154
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 5: he still says I'm Kentucky. That was important. He did

155
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 5: say I love Cal, but Kentucky is my place. I

156
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 5: was glad to hear him say that. That's what we

157
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 5: want to hear these guys, yes say right. So all right,

158
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 5: so now that was one of the things.

159
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 2: I think. The more important thing is the Pope uh

160
00:07:52,080 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 2: press conference so uh, you know, Pope does this this

161
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 2: calling show, And I would say for most of the

162
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 2: year the Pope Collin show has been really un helpful

163
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 2: and boring. I thought last night was Pope at his

164
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 2: most open and honest about how he actually feels. I

165
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 2: actually think Mark Pope was Mark Pope last night. We've

166
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 2: seen this other thing. I think a lot of the

167
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 2: year this was Mark Pope, and I thought there were

168
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 2: a lot of interesting things. Before we say anything, I

169
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 2: want to be clear, I'm glad he talked like that

170
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 2: last night. Do more of that, right, Just be who

171
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 2: you are, be proud of who you self, as Ryan

172
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 2: Lemon used to say, Shannon, like, be who you are,

173
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 2: and he did that for better or worse. And he

174
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 2: said a lot of things, And I want to go

175
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 2: over a couple of things he said and just get

176
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 2: people's reaction to them. I think the most important one

177
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 2: will be the one that I say last. So Pope

178
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 2: said a lot. He made a big deal about the

179
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 2: fact that they haven't gotten to play with the full roster.

180
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 2: He said, fifty six Power five games. We've only played

181
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 2: in two years with our full roster in five games.

182
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 2: That was very important to him to say. I understand

183
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 2: that that is correct. It also, though, is a weird

184
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 2: thing to say when we just played Iowa State, who's

185
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 2: best player got hurt right before the game. It's really

186
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 2: working against his argument right now, like that game is

187
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 2: not a great argument because they lost their best player

188
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 2: moments before, like a day before the game, and destroy this.

189
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 2: But I also understand he's not wrong about that. He

190
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 2: then said, and I found this interesting. I'm gonna say odd,

191
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 2: but still very interesting. He said that they created their

192
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 2: entire offense around having a left handed point guard, Jalen Lowe,

193
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 2: and that when he got hurt, they then had to

194
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 2: change the entire way they played. He went so far

195
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 2: as to say, you might say, why does a left

196
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 2: handed point guard matter well? With a bunch of things. One,

197
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 2: it actually suits a right handed extremely well. Because point

198
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 2: guards and bigs. If you have a point guard that

199
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 2: comes off the ball screen to his left, you get

200
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 2: the big man throwing to the rice. It's way more

201
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 2: effective than you have when you have a right handed

202
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 2: point guard and a left handed big.

203
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 4: It works.

204
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 2: But a right handed point guard and a right handed

205
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 2: big can be awkward. Now that may very well be true.

206
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 2: I've never heard that before in my life. I also

207
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 2: don't know how many times have we seen left handed bigs.

208
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 2: Like I was sitting there thinking most point guards are

209
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 2: right handed right, So he's saying they play better with

210
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 2: a left handed big. Who's the last left handed big

211
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:39,599
Speaker 2: you can remember that played in the post Amari? Yeah,

212
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 2: Terrence Jones. But I that you know Montgomery, there ain't

213
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 2: any of them, you know. Do you buy the idea

214
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 2: that when you have a left handed point guard and

215
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 2: then he gets hurt, everything has to change and it

216
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 2: screws the team up. No?

217
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 5: I mean I buy that you can run an offense

218
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 5: around the left head handed point guard, and I think

219
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 5: that's you know, what he was saying is true from

220
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 5: a basketball standpoint, but that doesn't just derail your whole season.

221
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 2: And I don't think I would. I don't even know

222
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 2: that I would have said that.

223
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 5: Out loud if I don't think I'm sure in the

224
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 5: game plan he's thinking, oh, we have this advantage with

225
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 5: the left hand, and Portgard will play that way, but

226
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 5: that injury happened in the Blue White game in October.

227
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 2: I mean, and shouldn't they be able to go both ways? Yeah?

228
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you're a right you could still feed with

229
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 3: your left hand, even if you're right handed.

230
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 2: I mean, you've got to be able to go both ways, right.

231
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 5: I just we can't be a team that relies on

232
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 5: one dominant the one player's dominant hand, like the whole season.

233
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 5: Can't ride on one players backup that was left handed,

234
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 5: and we lost him to Villanova. A Cayden Lewis was

235
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 5: left handed. He brought that up a few times, and

236
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 5: Travis Perry got brought.

237
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 2: Up a lot. Yeah, but I mean, okay, fair enough,

238
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 2: A Kayden Lewis and Travis Perry left. But like that's

239
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 2: on you, and that's just the world. You it's ultimately

240
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 2: it's your responsibility to get these players to come.

241
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 5: That's college Basketball's the way it is. You continue.

242
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 2: You could sit there and cry over spilled milk all day. Guys,

243
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 2: there's gonna be guys leave this team that you probably

244
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 2: would like to keep. But you know, that's that's what

245
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: it is, right.

246
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 4: In this dan age of college basketball. Man their left hand,

247
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 4: right hand. They're so good of both hands. I don't

248
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 4: think it matters anymore.

249
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 2: What seemed to matter at least in what he said

250
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 2: the way to do it. But the big thing he said,

251
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 2: and I think this is the thing that that everyone

252
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 2: is focused on the most. The big thing he said

253
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 2: is he compared his two years to Cow's last four years.

254
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 2: And he did. I posted the clip. It is four

255
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 2: minutes long. He did four minutes with numbers that Shannon,

256
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 2: he didn't just get off the top of his head.

257
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 3: Oh no, he did some show.

258
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 2: He did show prep, he did some Ryan Lemon's never

259
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 2: done one time. He did show prep. He had the numbers.

260
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 2: He was like, when in Col's last four years he

261
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 2: did this, We did this. This was the schedule. Now

262
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 2: this is the schedule. These are the top forty teams

263
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 2: we beat. That's the top forty teams they beat. This

264
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 2: is how many times they won in the SEC tournament.

265
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 2: This is how many times we won. And the overall

266
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 2: theme was our last two years were better than Col's

267
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 2: last four. And it was four minutes long. And I

268
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 2: posted that clip and it's god megaviral. I posted. Actually,

269
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 2: another UK account posted big Blue Bud and then I

270
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 2: put it on mind So I want to give him

271
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 2: credit for putting it up there. But what'd you think

272
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 2: of that?

273
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 5: I was writing on the board Real talents happening. I

274
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 5: was like, I am shocked that he has compared himself

275
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 5: to calcause too. I mean, maybe I wouldn't directly call

276
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 5: it a jab, but it's not not a jeb. I

277
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 5: mean he's saying I'm doing better, better than Cal.

278
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 2: Better than Cow. He's right, Okay, So let me be clear.

279
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 2: I don't think he's wrong. His facts are not optional,

280
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 2: they are correct. And if you've listened to show you

281
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 2: and Andrew have made this these same facts. Yes, but Ryan,

282
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 2: it was odd to hear him do it. Yeah, because

283
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 2: it's the first time I've ever heard him compare himself

284
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 2: to Cal in a way that downgrades Col. And it

285
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 2: also is I think selective fact choice. Okay, is he wrong? No?

286
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 2: His last two years objectively are probably better than Col's

287
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 2: last four. But two major major caveats. One, COVID's doing

288
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 2: a lot of work. Take that COVID team out. Those

289
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 2: numbers aren't the same. But more importantly, is the right

290
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 2: comparison him versus cow's last four years or him versus

291
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 2: cow's first two years? Depends on who you ask, true right,

292
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 2: depends on who you ask. So once you get into

293
00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 2: the compare me to Col game, be careful. You gotta

294
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 2: be careful. And I'll say one more thing, the Cow

295
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 2: Kentucky breakup. Col's taking some shots at Mitch, but he

296
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 2: really hasn't taken a ton of shots in Kentucky. That

297
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 2: will change. Oh yeah, cow will respond to this. Cow's

298
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 2: been pretty gracious. No, no, Cow's been pretty great. He's responding

299
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 2: to this. Now will he respond to it in a

300
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 2: good way, bad way? I don't know, But he's not

301
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 2: gonna let that go. I'm surprised he did it. I'm not.

302
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 2: And I looked at the responses online. They were wildly varied.

303
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 2: There are fans that are like, yes, Mark, take up

304
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 2: for yourself and I get that. I'm actually I don't

305
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 2: mind a guy taking up for himself. But then there's

306
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 2: people going, dude, we wanted cow gone because that wasn't acceptable. Yes,

307
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 2: and now you're saying it's a little better than that was.

308
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 3: Why would you choose to compare yourself to the four

309
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 3: years that basically had fans wanting Caliperi.

310
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 2: On and it's on and he said it's better, And

311
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 2: I think Coach Pope's words were barely better. Barely.

312
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a weird barely better, but we all agree

313
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 4: he was unacceptable those last four years of col.

314
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 2: But he was like, it's barely better and we're moving

315
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 2: in the right.

316
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 3: Direct, so that's progress in his mind.

317
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 2: He said it was. It's exactly what he said. He said,

318
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 2: it's progress barely.

319
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 5: But if you're on the cow in you could be

320
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 5: like you played in the first game of the SEC tournament.

321
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 2: Well, okay, so I am on in general, I'm on

322
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 2: Pope's side of the argument, but you know, I'm a

323
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 2: I'm a door when it comes to law, and like,

324
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 2: well you say this, but you know how many times

325
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 2: have you heard me be a contrarian here? When he

326
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 2: mentions the SEC tournament, and he goes, well, we've won

327
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 2: three games and he only won one. Yeah, but that's

328
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 2: because we were playing in the Wednesday games. Col never

329
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 2: played in the Winnsday against the Thursday. Our three wins

330
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 2: have been in games col never played in because he

331
00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 2: always got to Friday. Right. Yeah, So you know, it

332
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 2: all depends on how you look at it, right, And

333
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 2: I'm just surprised that he voluntarily got into the col versus.

334
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 4: Me and had all that show prep on the docum.

335
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 4: The name.

336
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 2: It wasn't random. He came in saying I'm gonna do this.

337
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 3: Though.

338
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 2: Here's what I would say. Remember how I've talked about

339
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 2: how this should be a well oiled machine for Kentucky

340
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 2: to roll. We need coaches, media boosters, fans, administration on

341
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 2: the same team. When you got stuff going and when

342
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 2: you got everybody on the same team, you don't make

343
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 2: that argument. You're pope. You let other people make it

344
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 2: for you, right, You let me and Drew make it

345
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 2: for you, or you let Kyle Tucker make it for you,

346
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 2: or you let Mitch Barnhart make it for you. When

347
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 2: you make it for yourself, I'm not sure that's the

348
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 2: greatest look.

349
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 4: I don't either, So maybe I just came hearing a

350
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 4: lot of yeah butts, yeah butts.

351
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 2: And he ended by saying, this is not an excuse.

352
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 4: Fast, what do you call what he's trying to do?

353
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 2: Then, but Shannon, you could see how some people would

354
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 2: look at it as an excuse.

355
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 3: Sounds like a whole lot of excuses to me. Well,

356
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 3: we had injuries, but we're comparing it to the last

357
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,479
Speaker 3: four years of cow but this, but this, there's too

358
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 3: many butts and the left.

359
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 4: Handed point guard.

360
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 2: There's too many butts. I mean, I mean, Shannon is

361
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 2: the Shannon only is a fan of butts.

362
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 5: If I could say one thing that I did like

363
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 5: about Pope's show, even though I didn't some of the you.

364
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 2: Laughing at that, Shane and these dudes just staring at

365
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 2: me when I said that, But I'm glad at least

366
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 2: you laughed.

367
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 5: Go ahead, some of the stats that rolled my eyes with.

368
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 5: But I turned that show on expecting to get sad

369
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 5: MOPy depressed.

370
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 2: It was much better. I loved his energy.

371
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 5: Maybe maybe every point he made I didn't completely love,

372
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 5: but I liked that it wasn't oh poor me, because

373
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 5: we've heard a lot that this year he at least

374
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 5: with some confidence totally. If I didn't agree with everything

375
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 5: you said, I.

376
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 2: Did love the tone much more than I have the

377
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 2: rest of the more that we're going to open up

378
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 2: the phones in a few minutes because I actually we

379
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 2: got a lot of positive feedback that they like the

380
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 2: let's just hear from people. We're going to talk in

381
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 2: a second about the other thing that's sort of come

382
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 2: the point and fingers and I want to be able

383
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,239
Speaker 2: to allow fans to just have some time to so

384
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 2: it's not just Matt, Ryan, Drew and Shannon like, how

385
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 2: does the actual fan base feel. We'll do that a

386
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 2: little bit in the second hour, but we'll take a break.

387
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 2: We'll talk some more about it. We need to talk

388
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 2: about Brett Setzer's letter that he wrote, and we need

389
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 2: to talk about the women's team going to Sweet sixteen

390
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: to play Texas. That's next here on KSR, Welcome back,

391
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 2: Take you Sports Radio. We're sitting here trying to think

392
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 2: on the left handed great left handed big men. I

393
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 2: came up with David Robbins.

394
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 4: That's a good one.

395
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 2: He's a great land to have left handed big man.

396
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 2: What else is on that list? You have to mostly guards,

397
00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 2: not many Big Bosh, Chris Bosh, okay, call yeah.

398
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, Bill Russell, how about that one Bill Russell was

399
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 5: left handed?

400
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 2: Into this list? I didn't know he was left handed.

401
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 2: He was pretty good. I don't think I've ever seen

402
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 2: one video of Bill Russell playing basketball, have you? Well, yeah,

403
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 2: where like the old school and you watch a lot

404
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 2: of fifties basketball.

405
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I love it.

406
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't honestly don't think i've seen one clip.

407
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 2: I'm sure, I know they exist, I'm sure, but I

408
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 2: don't think i've ever seen it.

409
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 4: I don't realized he was left handed.

410
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: Uh.

411
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 2: One person on Text Machine Rights, Matt, what you call

412
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 2: an excuse could also be a reason. Have you ever

413
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 2: thought of that? Yeah, because how you look at it,

414
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 2: excuses can be reasons. Yeah, I get it. It's interesting.

415
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 2: The reaction to people of that clip was very different.

416
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 2: There are people who really think that that was the

417
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 2: way to do it, And I'm trying to think if

418
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 2: I was in mark situation, I might want to do

419
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 2: that too, And then there's people who think the opposite.

420
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 2: It had varied reactions. Just go look at my clip

421
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 2: of it, and look at the comments, and look at

422
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 2: the quote tweets and you'll see very widely different reactions

423
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 2: to it, which is just kind of interesting to me

424
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 2: when person rights man, I have to tell you, I'm

425
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 2: not saying he's wrong, but I've never in my life

426
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 2: heard a coach talk about left handed point guard changing

427
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 2: the way they have to.

428
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 4: Plot ever, never ever have I heard that.

429
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 2: I haven't either, but I don't, you know, but I'm

430
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 2: not a coach. I don't know, but i'd never heard that.

431
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 5: I mean, if he said it in November as the

432
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 5: season was starting, like we've got to just that's one thing.

433
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 5: But I mean that injury was a long time ago.

434
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 5: It was in October, and that's.

435
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 2: Part of being oust Johnson left handed, Jasper's left handed.

436
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 4: Then he our backup point guard.

437
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I mean, I haven't. I

438
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 2: haven't really heard. Now. He also ended that by saying

439
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 2: doing the thing he did at the press conference before, well,

440
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 2: a couple things. First of all, actually let me do

441
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 2: that next segment he said, he answered the question said

442
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 2: they did not offer Yaxel Landenberg seven to nine million dollars.

443
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 2: Wish he had just said that the first time he

444
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 2: was as she had just said that but I'm glad

445
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 2: to hear him say that, because I don't think they did.

446
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 2: I think the Axle was either exaggerating or on how

447
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 2: you want to look at it line, I do not

448
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 2: think Kentucky offered him seven million to nine million dollars.

449
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 2: And Mark was very explicit and said, let me be clear,

450
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 2: we did not offer seven to nine million. I like

451
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 2: that stand. Yeah, that's one that I don't think is

452
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 2: an excuse.

453
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 5: That's correcting the record, and I think we all believed

454
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 5: that at the time. But having Pope actually say it,

455
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 5: I mean, just in itself, seven to nine million is

456
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 5: not an offer. An offer that's a range, that's a

457
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 5: nine million dollars off seven to nine million dollars.

458
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 2: I'm going to buy this house. I will offer you

459
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 2: four hundred to seven hundred thousand dollars. Well, you know what,

460
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 2: I'll take seven hundred. So he did do that, all right,

461
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 2: So we went long the first segment. So let's take

462
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 2: this break and then we'll talk about some of the

463
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 2: other stuff he'said. Right after it's TJ. Smith, personal injury attorney,

464
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 2: called TJ He'll make them pay.

465
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 3: Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio present it by Stockton mortgage.

466
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 2: Here's Matt Jones. Shannon's so good because this isn't even

467
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 2: the name of this song, right.

468
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 4: This is how did you talk about donk A DONC

469
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 4: How did.

470
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 2: You remember that? It started left left left, right left?

471
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 2: That was a perfect But how did you remember that?

472
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 5: Well?

473
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 3: The music video was a good way to remember that.

474
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 3: If you've seen the music video for this song.

475
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 2: I don't think i've seen it now. I'm gonna have

476
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 2: to look it up. There's something that goes left left, left, right.

477
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 4: I imagine.

478
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 2: Yes, Okay, I mean that is really like I don't

479
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 2: think you get You don't get nearly enough credit for

480
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 2: how well and especially with the podcast now and people

481
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 2: not hearing the music, the podcast listeners don't realize how

482
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 2: well you time that together. That's a that's a live

483
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 2: listener gets that. Yeah, but I appreciate it well.

484
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 3: I wish you could tell that to our bosses so

485
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 3: they would appreciate it.

486
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 2: And I will also say, ESPN, you have an impact

487
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 2: on ESPN. I've watched this on ESPN now. So we

488
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 2: started on ESPN. Bringing it all starts with Tony Korneiser,

489
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 2: who used to do this. Yes, then I brought the

490
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 2: concept of the music connects to a word or phrase

491
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 2: we said before Shannon started doing it, and we've like met,

492
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 2: our minds have melted. I brought that to ESPN, and

493
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 2: over the last few years, they've started doing it on

494
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 2: my show, and now they started doing it on the

495
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 2: other Showy and one of the producers on one of

496
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 2: their shows says, I kind of took this from my

497
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,719
Speaker 2: days working on your show. So like literally that progression

498
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 2: has kind of made When you listen to ESPN and

499
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 2: you hear them do this, I think it kind of

500
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 2: it really started with Courthyserd many years ago, but I

501
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 2: kind of stole it from him and then went on

502
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 2: from that.

503
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 4: So it is kind of an underappreciated thing that Shannon

504
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 4: does for this show. Really adds a lot to it.

505
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 2: I agree, all right. So some other things Pope said.

506
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 2: Pope said in recruiting this year, they're looking for creators.

507
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 2: He was like, we didn't have enough creators the last

508
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 2: two years, where basically he means guys who can just

509
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 2: go get their own shot. I was sitting in my

510
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 2: house and I went, Hallelujah, Praise the Lord. I've been

511
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 2: saying that for two years. We haven't had those guys,

512
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 2: and I think you gotta have at least like three

513
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 2: of them, and this year we had one, maybe two,

514
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 2: depending on what you think of Aberdeen. He says, we

515
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 2: need to get a team full of creators. Drew, I

516
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 2: love that good stuff. That was my favorite part of

517
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 2: the show. They really lack that.

518
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:19,479
Speaker 5: I mean, how many times do we see them get

519
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 5: jammed up in the half court? And even ol Way,

520
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 5: who can get to the rim and finish, he can

521
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 5: if there's not spacing. You need a guy that can

522
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 5: just go out there when all else fells, he can

523
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 5: go get you a bucket.

524
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 2: And jaylen Lowe was that. That was part of why

525
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 2: I thought losing him was so big. He was the

526
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 2: only guy we had that I really felt like was

527
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 2: really good at that.

528
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, you gotta say it, and they gotta go and

529
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 4: do it. You gotta go out and get.

530
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 2: Somebody out and get him. But I'm glad he says

531
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 2: that they canna get him. Then he said that we

532
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 2: have I think he was addressing Jack Gibbons's comments after

533
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 2: the game. He said, we have all the resources we

534
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 2: need to now. He did say to get the players

535
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 2: we want, which that's quite a caveat because that could

536
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 2: mean there are players he wants that just doesn't cost

537
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 2: a lot, so we'll see. But nevertheless, he didn't act

538
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 2: like resources would be an issue.

539
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 5: And that's what we want to hear. And he even

540
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 5: said I forgot the exact word, but he insinuated and

541
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 5: be patient. There's some good news on the way of recruiting,

542
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 5: and he felt good where they are. Yeah, so that's

543
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 5: better than the alternative where when you look at a

544
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 5: sheet of paper and there's zero recruits. He's at least

545
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 5: trying to inject some inject some hope in the fan base.

546
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 2: He then went off kind of again on the Facebook

547
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 2: memes and all that I don't know what it is

548
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 2: about that. Well, actually I have a theory, which I'll

549
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 2: say in a second. But then he ended this by going,

550
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 2: here's the thing. We can get confused. Sometimes there's a

551
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 2: super super vocal like one percent, zero point one percent

552
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 2: very vocal, trying to get hits and listeners. And then

553
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 2: there's the ninety nine percent of BBN that is true believers,

554
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 2: cheering their guts out everywhere I go, and everyone we

555
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 2: meet a lot of people around town. Everybody says they

556
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,360
Speaker 2: love PBN and they're praying for us to be successful,

557
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 2: and they're cheering us on. That's different when I talk

558
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,120
Speaker 2: to people and they're just trying to put out something negative.

559
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 2: I don't understand why he needs to do this, you know,

560
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 2: I don't know who he's talking about. Could be us,

561
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 2: could be whatever. I don't know why he needs to

562
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 2: do this the moment. You know. This is the same

563
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 2: guy who I met with two years ago who looked

564
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 2: at me and said, when I deserve criticizing, I want

565
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 2: you to blast me. If you don't do that, then

566
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 2: that's not what BBN is. I guess that's easy to

567
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 2: say when you think you're gonna win every game. But

568
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 2: I love Mark Pope, I'm cheering you on. We are

569
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 2: not like we want, we want you to win. I

570
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 2: don't even he may not even talking about us. He

571
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 2: may have been talking about somebody else. I don't know.

572
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 2: I talked to somebody who knows Mark really well. Yes,

573
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 2: there aren't a lot of those people here, but I

574
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 2: know one, and they said to me, look, here's the

575
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 2: thing you have to understand about Mark. When he goes online,

576
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 2: he only goes to two places. It's a little scoop.

577
00:27:55,040 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 2: He goes to ESPN and he's on Facebook, and he

578
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 2: was like, you need to understand that Mark's coverage of

579
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 2: UK athletics what he sees is Facebook. Oh no, that's

580
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 2: the worst place to go. I had never heard this

581
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 2: before and I was like, oh, okay, but then that

582
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 2: makes sense. That's why he's talking about these memes about

583
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 2: his wife in an airplane and Colin Chandler giving all

584
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 2: the money to homeless. It's like, that's what he sees, right,

585
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 2: So if you think about it, for the I don't

586
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,439
Speaker 2: go on Facebook really at all, but many of you

587
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 2: listeners do. Think about the coverage of UK sports you

588
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 2: see on Facebook, That's what Mark is seeing, which is interesting.

589
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 2: So that also made me think maybe he wasn't talking

590
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 2: about us because we're not really I'm not even on Facebook.

591
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 2: But that means he's seeing KSR the website. But that

592
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 2: also means he's seen like these fan sites that write

593
00:28:58,680 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 2: stuff like.

594
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 4: You have like Pope's cats.

595
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 2: In your face or like you know, come get some

596
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 2: blue in Mark Pope's world. He sees that as the media,

597
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 2: which I think is really interesting to know. Remember how

598
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 2: we used to talk about the only people Mitch Barnhart

599
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 2: talked to were via email, yes, and so it was like,

600
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 2: what kind of person emails Well, that's who Mitch Barnhart's

601
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 2: listening to. Now I kind of know, at least according

602
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 2: to this person, that the media Mark Pope is consuming

603
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 2: is what pops up on his Facebook. So I want

604
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 2: you to think about your fan sites on Facebook. It's

605
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 2: not people really in the media, right, So now those

606
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 2: comments make sense to me when he gets up there

607
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 2: and goes you know what is really media nowadays? Is

608
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 2: it a guy in his basement? Is it's because he's

609
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 2: seen in these fan groups on Facebook. So where you

610
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 2: and I that are online, or if you're on Twitter

611
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 2: and you see writers and you see headlines and he's

612
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 2: seen Pope's fans in your ears pose and Shannon, Now

613
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 2: it makes sense to me.

614
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a ton of fake headlines. I saw givin

615
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 3: yesterday that said that Jaden Quainton's was about to work

616
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 3: out for the Knicks today at full strength, and people

617
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 3: lost their minds in the comment section because they believe

618
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 3: it to be true.

619
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 2: But it's not true. So that's what he's seen.

620
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 4: You know, half of his week is spent with local media.

621
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 2: But I don't think he sees it, He sees I

622
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 2: don't know what are the biggest Facebook fan groups. I

623
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 2: don't look at them. I don't get on face, but

624
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 2: like i'd be interesting those people that are now we

625
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 2: know that, And so my when I when I heard that,

626
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 2: I was like, Okay, somebody needs to tell him that's

627
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 2: not really the media.

628
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, the people you meet with two or three times

629
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 4: a week, that's the media.

630
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,959
Speaker 2: So it also made me sort of interestingly think. You know,

631
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 2: yesterday continued the tradition that happens a little bit where

632
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 2: there's a group of people got Jo ruining you athletics

633
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 2: and you ran John cal Perry out and Tan you

634
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 2: going room. Well Cal didn't even get on the internet,

635
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 2: and Pope is on the internet on Facebook aside, I

636
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 2: don't even use So who are those people? The funny

637
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 2: thing is we don't even know who those people are.

638
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 2: I don't have faces or names. They don't even have

639
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 2: faces or names. So are those the people that are powerful?

640
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 2: Are those the people that Mark is thinking of when

641
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 2: he thinks of media. If so, a little note to

642
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 2: all the fan sites out there, those of you that

643
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 2: are in whatever the group is, you're kind of like

644
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 2: you guys, actually have some power now over these things.

645
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 2: Maybe we should be careful. Maybe it's all fun and

646
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 2: games when you all post these memes, but maybe they're

647
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 2: actually having an effect. That was the most fascinating thing

648
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 2: to me, because I have sat there and wondered, what

649
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 2: is Mark talking about when he says all this stuff. Now,

650
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 2: imagine you're a fan that only sees Facebook. That's what

651
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 2: he's talking about.

652
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 5: Well, watching the uh wasn't there, but I was watching

653
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 5: the live stream in Saint Louis. When he mentioned the

654
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 5: lean thing. I thought he just referenced one of those

655
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 5: random AI Facebook things.

656
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 2: Surely that's crazy.

657
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 3: It's hard to understand a smart guy who can't figure

658
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 3: it out.

659
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not saying he's falling for those I don't

660
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 2: think that's true. But I think he thinks that is

661
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 2: what media is. Now. He thinks, yes, all of our

662
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 2: fans are reading that and thinking it's true.

663
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 5: Most of our fans are rolling their eyes at that

664
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 5: and saying, Grandma, stop reading that and reposting it and

665
00:32:59,360 --> 00:32:59,959
Speaker 5: calming on it.

666
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 2: Grandma is reading it. Sounds like Shannon is what Mark

667
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:03,959
Speaker 2: is reading.

668
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 3: That's that's social media. That's not the actual media. And

669
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 3: you can't believe anything is THEE on Facebook.

670
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 2: So now it might. But the one thing is, now

671
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 2: it makes sense. Now I know why he's saying all that.

672
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 2: And now we do have to think about when these

673
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 2: groups post this stuff, Pope's reading it.

674
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 5: Some of them are so crazy. I don't know how anyone.

675
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 2: I just I do now. I just do worry that, like,

676
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 2: you know, this is part of like getting our media

677
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 2: relations and stuff up to date, you know, one of

678
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 2: the just someone tell Mark that like people are rolling

679
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 2: their eyes. Colin Taylor donated his whole innil to Turning

680
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 2: Point USA. Does he think we all believe that? I

681
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 2: hope not.

682
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 5: It's very clear he doesn't believe it, because he said,

683
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 5: every day I see something that's fake. But I hope

684
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 5: he doesn't think that just the whole fan base is

685
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 5: walking around talking about stuff like that. I worry that

686
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 5: he does think most of them laugh it off.

687
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 2: And let me just say when he says, everyone that

688
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 2: comes up to me says something nice, well, of course,

689
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 2: I mean everyone that comes up to me says something nice.

690
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 2: I don't have one hundred percent of writing. People are

691
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 2: not if people don't come up to you and just

692
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 2: say you suck. I don't think it would because it

693
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 2: wouldn't happen to you.

694
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,280
Speaker 4: It would happen to me in martial media.

695
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 2: But they do it on social media. But like he's like, well,

696
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 2: nobody comes up to me and says they're not don't

697
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 2: think I'm going to Jake. Well, no one's gonna do that.

698
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 2: Of course, no one's gonna come.

699
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 5: Up to the coach and go, you're not doing a

700
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 5: good job. I don't think he has the Twitter app.

701
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 5: If he thinks he's ninety nine percent.

702
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 2: Well, now I'm gonna have to I guess I'm gonna

703
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 2: have to get on Facebook and see what people say

704
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 2: because you're going to join I'm not any of those.

705
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 2: I did try to join one of those groups. It

706
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 2: was called like Pope's Boys or Pope's Dogs.

707
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 5: So that's the there's one Pope's something that's the craziest

708
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 5: and join it and they refuse to let me in

709
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 5: and they were like no, and I was like, it

710
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 5: was like, and I think you're right, that's a big one.

711
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,879
Speaker 5: It's like Pope's Pope's Paps. I'm not even gonna say

712
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 5: the other team, but there was one on there. It

713
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 5: had an AI image. It was like Team Ex's starting

714
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 5: player died on the court. Yes, and I'm like, what

715
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,479
Speaker 5: do you post? Who posts that? But I guess now

716
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 5: apparently Pope's pops. That one is the one that our

717
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 5: coach reads. It's time to score big this month with

718
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 5: Don Franklin. Is that am I supposed to do? Don Franklin, Yeah,

719
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 5: well I'm doing it now.

720
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 2: Choose from over six thousand new and certified prem vehicles.

721
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 2: Go the distance with powertrain protection, get slam dunk deals

722
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 2: all month long at Don Franklinado. Ten years unlimited miles.

723
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 2: You finished strong coverage on certified pre owned makes and

724
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 2: models at Don Franklinado. It's Don Franklinauto driven by Family.

725
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 2: This morning I got up. By the way, three of

726
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 2: the top fifteen episodes of sports podcasts in America were

727
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 2: KSR episodes. Our one Hour two and the Postgame Show

728
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 2: were three of the top fifteen, and the other were

729
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 2: all Barstool or Bill Simmons or like. So obviously, one

730
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:19,720
Speaker 2: thing that people say is, well, we can't have apathy,

731
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 2: and BBM, we don't have apathy at least not in

732
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 2: this world. We'll take a break. Be right back, KSR.

733
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 2: Welcome back. You were saying during your break rind that

734
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,720
Speaker 2: your parents fall for Facebook stuff.

735
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,839
Speaker 4: That's why I think, and I don't mean to be mean,

736
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 4: but like the older fan are the ones that kind

737
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 4: of fall for these stories and then they retreat them,

738
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 4: repost them. It's like get more clicks for it, That's

739
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 4: why they keep doing it.

740
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 2: One person writes Matt, A lot of people know the

741
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 2: group that I'm talking about. I guess. I guess it's

742
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 2: called Pope's Cats. And this person says it's the worst

743
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 2: thing on Facebook. Lots of fake stuff on there. If

744
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 2: you only saw that, it would be hard to know

745
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 2: what was true about UK sports. So I always go

746
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 2: to ks R and see if it's on there. Yeah,

747
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 2: that's good, I can. I can. They wouldn't let me

748
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 2: in there. How is I not able to get in?

749
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 2: Like Pope's in there? It means one of the people

750
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 2: in there is when burn Wright's Matts. This is kind

751
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 2: of funny. Do you think he's on bond that Bridge

752
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,760
Speaker 2: and ladies of ks R, Well, we have to approve.

753
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 2: Well I don't run bond that Bridge, but there's a

754
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 2: few people that do. And I do see that they

755
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 2: have to approve people to get in, So I think

756
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 2: we would know if he was on Ladies of ks R.

757
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 2: They have a no no men policy. Yeah, I wonder

758
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 2: if that includes Mark Pope. You cannot get in. It's strict,

759
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 2: very strict no no no. But they did let me in.

760
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 2: I don't think that. I honestly don't think they like

761
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 2: that I'm in. I'll say this though. They are the

762
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 2: most active and loyal ks R supporters. The Ladies of

763
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 2: KSR group is posting constantly and they are the They

764
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 2: are the most active, and they come up when I

765
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 2: meet him. They're like written the Ladies of KSR group.

766
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:06,320
Speaker 2: They sent a huge group mailer to my to Larry,

767
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,240
Speaker 2: to my dad, so like there, they're the best.

768
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 5: Are The nursery at home is full of stuff that

769
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:15,919
Speaker 5: the Ladies of KSR, including handmade quilts. And they got

770
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 5: together and they would like someone would do half of it,

771
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,439
Speaker 5: then they'd ship and someone else would finish it because

772
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 5: they all had different talents. Yeah, and then they when

773
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 5: they came to uh, Paul Miller and I mean, we

774
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 5: had like a little Ladies of KSR shower after the show.

775
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,399
Speaker 2: They gave us so many things. Our bookshelf was full

776
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 2: of books.

777
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 5: From the ladies of KSR, how nice is very cool,

778
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 5: very nice things on Facebook.

779
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 4: You know, he does live in a house full of

780
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 4: women that probably can't get in these groups, those groups

781
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 4: and kind of maybe keep him posted.

782
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 2: But it's the ladies of KSR not saying negative things.

783
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 4: There's the most positive.

784
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 2: People on One person rates Matt ninety percent of Kentucky

785
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 2: fans on Facebook is a guy with sunglasses holding a

786
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 2: fish in the air. Fair, very fair. I will say

787
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 2: this when someone calls me some name that is like

788
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 2: liberal beta, eighty five percent chance a it's a sunglasses

789
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 2: selfie and probably thirty five percent chance there is a

790
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:16,280
Speaker 2: fish involved.

791
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 3: Somewhere and they're saying about you. You can't even beat

792
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 3: a hook like that country song.

793
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:24,240
Speaker 2: I can't beta hook, I can beta.

794
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 4: We can't beata hook.

795
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:32,919
Speaker 2: So I can't. I can't. Oh God, but but there

796
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 2: you go. So I do feel like overall, I'm glad

797
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,240
Speaker 2: he did that show yet last night. Let's do odds?

798
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:45,280
Speaker 2: Does Cow reference this sometime this weekend? This cow reference?

799
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 2: Pope's Cow have a press conference tomorrow? Will he reference

800
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 2: Pope's reference comparison to him? Well, he find a sly

801
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 2: way to slip it in I'm gonna say seventy percent chance. Yet,

802
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 2: if I know Cal, that's the kind of thing. Because

803
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 2: let me tell you how Kyl gets his news. We

804
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 2: were talking about Facebook. This is what it was here.

805
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 2: I assume it's the same. He has them print out

806
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 2: all the stories from the internet that they think he

807
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 2: should read. He used to print out every KSR, Harold

808
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 2: Leader career journal, and then he had other things he

809
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 2: was interested in, like Basketball Times, which I don't even

810
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 2: know if that still exists, and they would print him

811
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 2: out and sometimes he would call me and he would

812
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 2: read from He'd be like, do you see what Jim

813
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 2: Jenkins said in the Basketball Times? I was like, huh, Kyle,

814
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 2: I don't even know what that is. What is that? So?

815
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 2: I don't know. Someone is going to print out for

816
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 2: him a story about what Pope said? Will he reference it? Aileen?

817
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 5: Yes, It'll be subtle, but it'll be in there. Someone

818
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 5: during the show last night showed him over. Yet they said, oh,

819
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 5: this is going to get get back to Cal. I said, no,

820
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 5: this is already already had acted the moment it came

821
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 5: out of.

822
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 2: Someone sent it to Cat. It's already there. So do

823
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 2: you think he will?

824
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 4: I feel like he'll do it if they win the game.

825
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,439
Speaker 4: He'll do it in the post game when he's feeling good.

826
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 2: And that's a good call. Yeah, that's a good call.

827
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 2: If they were to beat are his own Uh huh,

828
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 2: that's a really good before he's already farther in the

Speaker 3: If he wins, he definitely will.

832
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 2: I don't know that he will yet.

833
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:27,359
Speaker 3: I mean, he's in the sweet sixteen trying to get

834
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 3: to the Elite eight, so I don't know that he's
