It is air conditioning up today 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:31.680 a little bit. We may have to fix that, but 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:37.960 you know, big day today, it's Derby Week. But most importantly, 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:42.559 last night I went to Cincinnati saw my Reds beat 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:46.920 your car. The summer of Ellie is is kicking in 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.720 five straight wins for the Reds. Here's a little stat 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.680 for you to the last twelve seasons. Do you know 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:55.680 how many times the Reds have won six straight games? 0:01:57.160 --> 0:02:01.560 Once twice in twelve years? Wow, twice in twelve years. 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:05.080 So this could be number three? Uh to that tonight 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:07.520 if they win. It was a It's beautiful. I got 0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:11.399 my elly switch hitting bobblehead. You did, oh nice? Yeah? 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:13.600 So I missed the switch hitting bobblehead game. I was 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:16.839 in the Netherlands. It's a bobblehead and I don't really 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:19.320 know what makes it switch hitting. I think it's just Shannon. 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:21.120 You can flip it around and it looks like he's 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:22.040 hitting left handed. 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:23.440 I just put the bat in the other hand. 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:25.760 No, well, the bat goes in one place. They've just 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:30.560 designed it wherever it doesn't. I don't really know. It 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.040 looks to me like when he hits left handed, he 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:36.160 would not be being successful. But it is. It's like 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:39.040 a visual thing. It's a switch hitting babble I gotta 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.920 see this I have So I now have two. Uh, 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:44.480 I now have two bobbleheads and ready to go. 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:46.880 Well, yeah, last year Billy lerisk his life to get 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:47.760 that bubble like. 0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:50.400 One of the last ones. Yes, So this year I 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:52.519 called first and asked them to save me one and 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:54.840 they did well. I mean, I'm a season ticket holder, 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:57.160 so I'll do that. If you know in advance, you 0:02:57.240 --> 0:03:01.320 know they're having Pete Rose jersey. Yes, I heard that fourteenth. 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:05.200 I think I'm gonna sell that ticket because it's a 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:08.000 you know, it's it'll be sold out for the Pete Rose. 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.080 Everybody's gonna want a Pete Rose jersey. And I don't 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:12.880 really care because I wasn't. I mean, that was before 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:14.760 I was a fan, So I think I might sell those. 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:16.799 That's a heck of a promotion. Everybody comes because they're 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.959 replica of Pete Rose Red's jersey and every one of 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:21.440 Pete Rose. That's a heck of a promotion. 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:24.560 That's gotta be an expensive gift, Drew. 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:26.320 Yeah, how do they afford all this? Is it your 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:27.240 season ticket money? 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:27.560 Ellie? 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:28.480 That's a nice promotion. 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:31.200 We're only paying Elle eight hundred thousand dollars and he's 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.000 I have to tell you right now. Of course I 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:36.400 say this now, and I'll hate the team in a week, 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.240 but right now I kind of love them. They're sixteen 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:43.320 and thirteen. They've got obviously Ellie, yes, but they got 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:47.520 new guys who were good, Austin Hayes and Gavin Lux. 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:49.800 You know, some of the dudes I like haven't even 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:53.200 played well, like Matt mcclean's hitting like one fifty, Spencer 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:56.160 Steers hitting like one eighty. And yet they're still good 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:58.080 because our pitchers they've been grooving it. 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:01.080 Well, I told you started. My dad's you know, the 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:03.840 biggest Cardinal fan I know. He's so upset last night. 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:05.400 He called me three times and then the last time 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:07.560 was like Red's gonna sweep him. Red's gonna sweep the 0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:08.240 Cardinals this week. 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:10.640 Well, here's the thing. They had a big inning where 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:13.160 they should have gotten more runs and they didn't. That's 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:15.680 probably what madjor Dad they got. We walked like the 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.279 first two batters, it was first and second, nobody out. 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:21.320 He hits a little chopper and the catcher makes a 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:24.880 great play, throws him out at third. Next uh, next pitch, 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:26.640 double play and we get out of the inning. And 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:28.240 that probably made your dad. Man. 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:30.039 Was a good crowd last night was a nice sight. 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:32.279 There was not a good crowd. I'm kind of shocked. 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:37.720 Perfect weather, Yes, beautiful day playing the Cardinals, but there 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:41.200 was nobody there. Well they didn't give the Bible heads 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:43.240 last night, but there was there was nobody there. I 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:44.200 was kind of surprised. 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:46.240 Yeah, I mean, this is the summer, Eli, you think 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:49.640 they'd be fired. We're a game back in the NL Central, 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:50.520 whatever the NL is. 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:52.360 And I tell you what Uncle Matt did for one 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:56.360 of our fine listeners. Let's hear it they are. Why 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:58.280 do you look so skeptical when I said that? Man, 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:00.040 I mean you look like, what did you think? So 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:05.200 what did you think? I was gonna say? Okay, there 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:08.000 were these two kids, college kids, sitting in front of me. 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:10.680 They one of them looks back and goes, are you 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:14.680 Matt Jones? His dad runs the Mister Daddies in Campbellsville 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.240 and we are, oh nice? And he told me the 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.960 story that these two guys, one of them lives in Campbellsville, 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:23.520 the other one goes to UK, and they like, they 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:25.160 don't get to hang out with each other very much. 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:27.440 So they were going to the game this week and 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:29.600 they said they both had kind of free weeks and 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:32.680 they were glad to catch up. Well, Thursday is a 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:36.320 day game and I can't go, and so I just said, well, 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:38.520 would you all like to hang out again Thursday? 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:41.560 Let's gave him the I gave him my nice Very 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:42.480 nice of you to do that. 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:44.880 So it was it because they didn't ask. You see 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:48.719 what I'm saying. They didn't ask, because when people ask, 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:51.960 that's not happen. Do you know what somebody wrote me 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:52.440 the other day? 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:53.200 Tell me about it. 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:57.560 This is a literally somebody wrote me. This was like 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:01.120 two weeks ago. Hey, Matt, I normally never do this, 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:05.480 but that's how all the sentences. Sure, they all they 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:12.440 all start. I normally never do this, but and I like, 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:15.920 my answer is almost always gonna be no. But sometimes 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:18.279 I at least understand. They'll be like, it's my dad's 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:22.840 birthday or my sister Bob mitzvah or something. You know, 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:27.800 there's there's something, there's something happening. This guy goes, I've 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:32.680 always been a big Red Sox fan. First of all, 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:39.280 not reds Red Sox. The Red Sox are coming to town. 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:45.960 Would you give me the tickets or I'm glad to 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:47.280 pay face value? 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:49.440 No, they're they're negotiating. 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:53.600 Well. First of all, thank you for your generosity at 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:57.080 being willing to pay face value for what are probably 0:06:57.200 --> 0:06:59.240 going to be the most expensive tickets of the year. 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:04.880 Thank you. I appreciate you offering to pay face value. 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:08.839 But I just I thought, I mean, like, really, you're 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.200 really gonna ask somebody to give you tickets for what 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:13.480 is I mean, the Red Sox. Those tickets will go 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:15.200 for four hundred bucks apeece. 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:16.720 Yeah, you can get a good chunk of chain for 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:18.960 your seats for the Red Sox series and for the 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:22.480 guy that had the kahons ask you, I I'm the opposing. 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:26.680 Fan scene fan. That's like writing me in saying, hey, 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:33.920 lifetime Arkansas fan, they're coming to Rupperna, will you give 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:36.160 me the ticket? Crew. I just it's amazing to me 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:37.320 that somebody can do that. 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:39.200 I would have at least lied instead. I'm a Reds fan. 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.320 I mean, you're asking to wear the opposing team's gear 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:43.559 in your seats that they can be seen on TV. 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:45.320 You'd be contributing to the wrong team. 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:49.200 Yes, I took a book last night, but here's how 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:51.920 good the Reds are this year. I didn't read the book, 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:56.400 and this is how exciting they are this year. No book, 0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:58.920 I took it in, didn't even open it at any point. 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:01.560 If they were bad, what book would that be that 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:02.720 you would have been reading lesson? 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:05.600 It's a book. I'm reading that. I'm it's a really 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:09.000 good book, but I'm not recommending to the general audience, 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:13.400 because I know if you all read it, like I 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:17.360 don't want, you're associating it with vermut No, it's not 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.600 very smart. No, it was one of the New York 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:24.560 Times Top ten books of the year. It's called All fours. 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:28.680 This is taking a turn. 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:29.840 I actually don't want to know anymore. 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:34.600 Stop right there. Yeah, I'm just saying to you it's 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.240 it's very good. I can see why it was named that, 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:40.280 But I don't want when you read it. I don't 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:45.280 want you thinking, well, this was a Matt Jones recommendation TV. 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:48.520 So reading all fours thought, I. 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:51.000 Thought about that. Okay, I thought about it. If I'm 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:54.760 reading this book, the name cannot be showy. Yeah, you 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:56.120 went viral when I read it. 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:57.120 Can I read what it's about? 0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:00.800 You cannot? People can look at me. You can look 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:04.440 it up on their own if they won nine two 0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:06.680 twenty two eighty seven. We're gonna take your call today. 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.360 We did not do it yesterday. As I said, it's 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:12.319 Derby Week, Derby week, not just Red's week. It's Derby 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:14.800 by the way, little suggestion the rems, why are you 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:18.280 always at home during Derby Week? Like why do they 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:19.880 every year they have home? 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:20.000 Like? 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:25.520 Why not have like that? I feel like that's under 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:27.360 their attendance. I would think, like why not be on 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:30.480 the road during Derby Week? Anyway, you got mad because 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:32.559 last night it went viral again the video of you 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:35.760 getting thrown on your back in the mud at the Derby. 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:38.280 This was what year nineteen ninety six. 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:41.360 People who haven't seen the video, A college kid just 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:44.439 picks rying up, he's in a suit and throws him 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:48.720 in the mud hard. Yes, and it hurt your back. 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:53.679 We did. And it's now been almost thirty years and 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:56.400 it still makes you mad to this day, doesn't it. 0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:00.679 Look that was my very first Kentucky, a member of 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:05.200 the media with Channel eighteen. I bought new shirt, new pants, 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:06.160 new a new suit. 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:06.880 He has them all. 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:11.440 I was style and I had been there for maybe 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:15.599 maybe thirty minutes, and I am upside down in a 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:17.880 puddle of water and it stunk. 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:18.120 You know. 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:20.679 It was that old rain water, been sitting there for 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:23.160 a couple of days. It's stunk and I'm just covered 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:24.800 in it. And I had to spend the rest This 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:25.880 was early in the day. I had to spend the 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:28.360 rest of the day like that, so find somebody who 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:30.240 felt sorry for me. He had a pair of jeans 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:32.800 and an oversized T shirt that I wore. The rest 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:34.400 of it had to do the live shot and jeans 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:35.880 and a T shirt he gave you. 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:37.600 He had brought spare clothes. 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:40.280 Yeah, punk punk, because he wasn't He's spending the night. 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:41.640 If they're gonna have to spend the rest of the 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:42.360 day in the month. 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:44.760 Yeah, yeah, and I did for several hours. 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:46.400 And I think, if I remember the story, the kid 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:48.640 just ran off and never got caught, disappeared. 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:49.760 Have you disappeared? 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:52.360 It was on television. Have you ever figured out who 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:52.599 it was? 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:52.800 No? 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:55.280 We even frozen where you can see his face looking 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:56.720 right at the camera and said, you know this guy 0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:59.360 owes me for dry cleaning and a chiropractor Bill never hurt, 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:00.520 never got no nobody. 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:01.720 Wait, you put it on the air. 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:06.120 Yeah, yeah, you put his face on the air, but 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:08.120 this was in Lexington put it on the air. Of course, 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:10.400 that kid's probably from who knows where, So that kid 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:14.000 is probably like fifty years old probably. Yeah, So what 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:16.600 would you think about, like should we find him? 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:18.480 Now? I would love that. I would just like to 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:19.480 find out who it was. 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:21.880 I have like facial recognition technology now, so. 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:23.920 Here's what I would say. First of all, Drew, will 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:26.040 you put out the video? Yeah? All right, So Drew's 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:27.880 gonna put out the video on his Twitter account. If 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:31.040 anyone knows who this person is, I don't want this 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:35.160 person to be punished. But thirty years later, it feels 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:36.600 like they should come and apology. 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:39.480 I agree, yes, because it hurt your back, right, My 0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:42.280 back was messed up for a couple of years after 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:45.079 that hurts your back. Yes, it was muddy, It was 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:46.040 stinky mud. 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:49.160 Now he's probably just a kid that was having fun. 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:51.920 Probably think about it. But maybe now, as a grown 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:55.319 up at fifty, he could apologize to you, and I 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:57.880 think then maybe you could get some closure and laugh 0:11:57.960 --> 0:11:59.200 about it, feel some remorse. 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:01.520 I remember after I got up, I went straight to 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:02.800 a police officer and you're gonna help me with this, 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:04.800 He goes, Dude, where'd he go? You know they didn't. 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:07.760 They didn't the police officers. Two police officers standing right there, 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:08.560 watch the whole thing. 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:10.600 All right. So so Drew will put this out Shannon. 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:13.199 We'll let the masses decide if they think they know 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:18.840 in this entire state. I mean, remember when the Luigi 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:23.040 guy killed the insurance guy. They found him in a 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:24.520 McDonald's in Altona. 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:26.960 So I feel like we can we could, we can 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:30.760 do this thirty years later. The dude may look a 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:33.160 lot different. He's a big muscular guy in the video. 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:35.559 But I'm saying, but like there might be somebody who 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:37.439 remembers Drew what he looked like then. 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:39.400 Yeah, yeah, you know, I watched a lot of Dateline. 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:42.800 There's several way new technology true. Also, sometimes just over time, 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:44.719 criminals think, you know what, I've been living with this 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:45.839 for twenty five years. 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:47.960 Thinks will we find him? When we find they need 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:49.520 to let me pick him up and throw him in 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:49.800 a mud. 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:51.360 PUB think he probably could forget. 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:54.560 I think that's first of all, if you couldn't do that. Secondly, 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:58.080 he's fifty years old now probably, so it might hurt 0:12:58.200 --> 0:12:59.760 him if you threw him in the mud. 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:01.680 It hurt me when he threw me in the mud. 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:04.800 So I hope you get over that because it still 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:06.880 seems to really bother well, because like I said, I 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:09.760 was so excited my first derby, and I spend all 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:12.120 day in a muddy, stinky, wet clothes. 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.959 It was awful, awful. 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:18.600 A five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:21.800 Uh we did. We touched on this yesterday. The Kentucky 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:25.200 players were all in town, and I want to ask 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:28.920 you a question about the roster because we have Uh, well, 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:30.840 there's a couple things we'll do that when we return. 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:33.000 Drew just put out the video. See if we could 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:35.720 find this man that thirty years ago broke Ryan's herd. 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:37.400 We'll take a break of you right back. It's ks 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:45.600 har Wa. I'm back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio text 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:48.280 machine seven seven two seven four five two five four 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:50.000 one person rides mad. I saw you at the game 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:53.560 last night, saw you carrying a book. I actually wasn't 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:55.400 sitting far from you and wanted you to read so 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:56.920 I could take a picture and make fun of you. 0:13:57.040 --> 0:13:58.760 But I didn't see you pull it out the whole time. 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:01.679 It's exactly right. I didn't because the game was so good. 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:03.240 He went fast to two hours. 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:05.880 DS are fun. They had uh you know, they got 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:07.600 all these You got all these young guys. The only 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:10.000 dude they're paying a lot of money to stinks, which 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:13.160 is Candelario. He doesn't even get in the game. He stinks. 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:16.120 But the rest of the team is is fun. 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:18.240 I thought a big come back to the Cardinals tonight. 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:21.680 I think they we're not gonna sweep them. I think 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:23.440 we probably lose tonight. I mean we had we only 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:26.000 won six straight twice in twelve years. I don't expect 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:26.840 it to happen tomorrow. 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:28.920 Last time you said this, I bet on the Reds 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:31.320 because I something about your lack of confidence. I think 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:33.560 they're gonna win again. I'm gonna do it again. You 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:36.080 gotta show faith in your team. I'd love for that 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:38.160 to uh uh, that to happen. 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:41.080 One person writes Matt, I read the description of the 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:43.840 book you said you read on my work computer, and 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:45.400 now you're gonna get me in trouble boy. 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:48.160 Really huh yeah? 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:49.840 I mean again, I want to be clear, this is 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:53.520 not my I'm not telling you folks to read this book. 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:55.800 Don't point at me like that. I didn't. If you 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:58.600 read it, it's on your own. It's it's with a warning. Okay. 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:02.680 So the players were we're all we're all here this weekend, 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:05.440 and I was looking at the ross. We have twelve guys. 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:08.040 Question one, do you think we go get a thirteenth guy? 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:10.960 I still haven't gotten the call that Mark Pope is 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:12.520 ready to come on the show, which tells me the 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:14.880 roster's not finished, which tells me I think we're gonna 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:16.760 get a thirteenth person. But do you think we're gonna 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:18.440 get one? I think they could. 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:20.880 Yeah, I'll say they either had a high school or 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:23.600 another international player. I think they're done with the portal. 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:25.760 I believe they've even said that, But maybe you add 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:27.960 someone that's more of a project for all down the road. 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:29.720 I don't think they need one, but I still think 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:31.120 they will look to add one. 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.440 See obviously, and more towards European player. Also somebody that 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:35.880 can bring in kind of work with this year, it's 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:37.640 kind of like a red shirt year almost and then 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:39.320 getting ready for maybe down the road. 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:41.640 Why European though, if it's gonna be a red shirt, 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:44.280 wouldn't a European be a guy like you have come 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:45.080 play immediately? 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:45.200 Like? 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:47.520 Why is he gonna come from Europe to not try? 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:49.960 If he's like a maybe like a seven footer that's 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:52.080 really needs to be some beefed up and need to 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:54.400 get stronger and need to learn how to play American basketball, 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:56.280 I would be my guess. 0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:59.480 Okay, I assume they will use somebody. I think I 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:02.360 would have heard if they like, because I think there's 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:05.040 a good chance we'll have Pope in the couple weeks 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:08.440 after that after the derby, So I would assume they 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:12.000 get somebody else. All right, do you think we have 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:16.560 a final four roster? I see, I see a lot 0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:19.960 of our fans seemingly assume the answer to that question 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:23.760 is yes. And then some of the rankings don't even 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:26.400 have us in the top ten, like Jeff Borzello doesn't 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:29.240 have us in the top ten. John Rothstein doesn't have 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:31.480 us in the top ten. But then there are people 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:33.600 like the field to sixty eight have us number three. 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:38.080 So that's you don't usually see that wide discrepancy in 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:40.800 how people see the team. Which one do you think 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:44.000 is closer top three, not in the top ten. 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:48.080 I lean final four potential because I think they'll be 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:49.920 in the conversation for a one seed at the end 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:51.600 of the year. I think the SEC will be down, 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:53.760 definitely could be down. A big part of the tournament 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:56.680 last years we saw is retaining players, and I mean, 0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:59.480 you're gonna have a way back, Garrison back, Chandler back. 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:01.560 You know, we know the list. And then I really 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:04.200 like the pieces they added to fix the flaws last 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:07.000 year defensively, so if they stay healthy, I think there'll 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:08.520 be a top two seed in the tournament. 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:13.879 What about the argument, Hey, clearly we're better defensively, Clearly 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:16.040 we're tougher, but we gave up a lot of shooting 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:18.720 and last year kind of our strength was shooting, and 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:20.240 we gave up a lot of that. We have a 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:23.520 lot of shooters that might be good, but we probably 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:25.760 don't have any you know, we came in last year, 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:28.240 know when Kobe Brayer was a great shooter. We knew 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:30.880 Jackson Robinson was a great shooter. We knew Andrew Carr 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:33.040 was a pretty good shooter. I don't know that we 0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:35.560 have anybody that you would say, Okay, well that's definitely 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:36.399 a great shooter. 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:39.520 That's my concern right there. That's why I's getting ready 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:41.880 to say that there's just not that guy that when 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:44.760 we need hit two or three threes in a game. 0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:47.639 Unless Alway can figure it out this summer, figure his 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:50.040 shot out. I don't think it's the missing piece. I 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:52.000 think I wish you'd got a knockdown shooter. 0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:54.280
