Speaker 5: thirty years old for Billy, who's not in this building.
Speaker 5: But happy birthday to Billy our sports the official grump
Speaker 5: of Kentucky Sports Radio, uh.
Speaker 4: The GM.
Speaker 6: Also we'll call him that put some respect on his
Speaker 6: name today. But happy thirtieth to Billy.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 6: Thirty is still young, you know, so he shouldn't let
Speaker 6: it get to him too bad. I heard him worrying
Speaker 6: about hitting a new a new milestone there. But he's
Speaker 6: still got a lot of youth left in.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 5: It's We've talked about this with him, Like when do
Speaker 5: you start feeling old? I don't think you start feeling
Speaker 5: old at thirty.
Speaker 4: I don't think thirty is it.
Speaker 5: I think forty is the age where you go, oh okay,
Speaker 5: like here we are, and then I think when you
Speaker 5: get to be like forty two, things start to hurt
Speaker 5: more when you fall down or like you wake up
Speaker 5: just with a pain like somewhere.
Speaker 4: So I think, thirty, you still got you still got.
Speaker 5: A bunch of time. Now in Kentucky people age like quicker,
Speaker 5: like people get married at like twenty four and twenty five,
Speaker 5: So I think sometimes there's.
Speaker 4: A pressure to get married and stuff.
Speaker 3: But what happened to you?
Speaker 4: And I'm mad, Well, we skipped it. There comes a point.
Speaker 5: Oh, there comes a point where you miss it for
Speaker 5: so long, Shannon.
Speaker 4: Then people start to go, well that's wrong.
Speaker 3: They look you, what's wrong with you? Boy?
Speaker 4: You get to be forty. Here's what happened.
Speaker 5: They either decide he's like a perpetual bachelor or they
Speaker 5: think you're gay. Like, no, those are the things that happen.
Speaker 4: That's my life.
Speaker 5: I mean, like I remember when I was thinking about
Speaker 5: running for congress. We I had this political consultant and
Speaker 5: they said, if you run, you know there's going to
Speaker 5: be one of two narratives, which is either that you
Speaker 5: date everybody or that you're gay.
Speaker 4: And I went, well, neither of those is exactly true,
Speaker 4: but at all true. But that's the way Ryan, it happens.
Speaker 4: You know. I still don't feel like I'm on the opposite.
Speaker 5: You get in a relationship every moment, I am not
Speaker 5: not a moment you've ever been single.
Speaker 3: Her little ladies won't leave him alone.
Speaker 4: That's like you.
Speaker 5: Literally, when's the last time you've had a month of
Speaker 5: just complete singleality?
Speaker 7: Well, I mean it was divorced, not did too long ago?
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it started quick if it.
Speaker 7: Was longer than a month, a.
Speaker 5: Month and a half, I mean you you just like
Speaker 5: being in relationships, is my point.
Speaker 7: Why not if you find somebody who enjoy being around?
Speaker 4: Why not?
Speaker 7: And like I do not I'm fifty eight. I don't
Speaker 7: feel like I'm fifty eight. I don't feel like I'm
Speaker 7: old yet, so I feel.
Speaker 4: Like you're fifty eight. No, I really don't actually feel
Speaker 4: like you're fifty eight.
Speaker 5: You don't act like I don't feel fifty eight. So anyway,
Speaker 5: happy birthday to Billy who's now thirty.
Speaker 7: So thirty years old.
Speaker 5: Mario remains the last one, and then you're twenty five, right,
Speaker 5: twenty child babies young. I spoke at UK yesterday and
Speaker 5: it was to a group of people, almost all of
Speaker 5: which were like graduating seniors, and it's just it's amazing
Speaker 5: to listen to them, like ask questions about and when
Speaker 5: I talk about how KSR started with them, they don't know,
Speaker 5: like they're like blogs, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 5: they don't even that's not almost even a word. Like
Speaker 5: they don't even see KSR the website as a blog.
Speaker 5: They see it like just as that's what sites are,
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, Like they don't that.
Speaker 4: I don't even know if they use that terminology really anymore.
Speaker 7: So what are they more like doing the vlog video blogs?
Speaker 4: I just think they see it as a website.
Speaker 5: They don't see it as like I just don't think
Speaker 5: people use that phrase blog. They're like, it's Kentucky Sports
Speaker 5: Radio dot com.
Speaker 4: Because if you think.
Speaker 5: About it, if you were to go to the Herald
Speaker 5: Leader right now or to see it doesn't look any
Speaker 5: different than our site. I mean, it's it's all kind
Speaker 5: of the same now to to these to especially younger people.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean when KSR first came around of something
Speaker 6: a little different, it was very long for people were like, WHOA,
Speaker 6: what is this thing going on?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 6: It all kind of looks the same, Like you're saying,
Speaker 6: everybody's got the headlines all the.
Speaker 5: Stuff that The Herald Leader used to get on me
Speaker 5: about they do worse. Like I have to tell you,
Speaker 5: I hate the Harald Leader's Twitter account more than anything
Speaker 5: on earth. I hate it. I hate it. Whoever's in
Speaker 5: charge of it, I don't like you. And I'm sure
Speaker 5: you're being told that you have to do it. But
Speaker 5: there'll be a headline that.
Speaker 4: Says popular restaurant shockingly closes. You think that's not in
Speaker 4: our area? Oh no, is it mine? Like? What? What? What?
Speaker 5: What is the popular restaurant that shockingly closed? And it'll
Speaker 5: literally be in like Bozeman, Montana. And I get really
Speaker 5: really angry at them. Why why is this a headline
Speaker 5: in the Lexington newspaper?
Speaker 4: And it's clearly because it worked. I clicked on.
Speaker 6: It gets every day, you know. Sometimes it might be
Speaker 6: a car accident or something tragic. I'm like, oh, that's awful.
Speaker 6: Is that local? No? Seattle Washington?
Speaker 4: Like, well, why are you telling me about?
Speaker 6: But I don't need to know about what's going on there.
Speaker 6: I'm looking for local.
Speaker 5: I mean, when the when the restaurant shockingly closed and
Speaker 5: it was in Montana.
Speaker 4: I I almost filed a complain.
Speaker 6: Remember the Lexingon's oldest restaurant closed and it was the
Speaker 6: Arby's on That was the headliner. I was thinking, Oh
Speaker 6: my goodness, we're losing an icon.
Speaker 4: No just Arby's anyway. So that's what's on my mind.
Speaker 4: It is, uh, it is Derby Week Thursday. Uh.
Speaker 5: I last night tried to figure out if I had
Speaker 5: something to wear that see back when we used to
Speaker 5: go to Oaks and Derby. I've lost weight since then,
Speaker 5: so all those jackets and stuff, they don't they don't fit.
Speaker 5: So I'm just gonna be walking around in a monster
Speaker 5: jacket tomorrow. So if you see that, you go, well,
Speaker 5: he's it looks like he's wearing his dad's jacket. That's
Speaker 5: what That's what it's gonna look like. Unfortunately, but go
Speaker 5: to your place. Is in little too late.
Speaker 4: You can't.
Speaker 5: I mean you you cannot buy clothes in Louisville, Kentucky
Speaker 5: two weeks before the Derby, like it's all it's all gone,
Speaker 5: Like people start. People in Louisville are weird, Shannon. They
Speaker 5: start playing their Derby out like February, you.
Speaker 3: Know, and yeah, you forget about it right now they are.
Speaker 5: Try to go there, they're swamped and like if you
Speaker 5: go if I were to go into a store, that
Speaker 5: sells suits. Now they would just tell me to go
Speaker 5: away like they're not They're not going to do anything.
Speaker 6: So we have a thirty two long if you would
Speaker 6: like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 7: So today is Thirby Wins. Used to be the day for.
Speaker 5: You've got oaks, used to be the locals day. That's
Speaker 5: got taken over.
Speaker 4: Then it's Thirby and Thirby became.
Speaker 7: It was a locals day.
Speaker 4: It's become a locals day. Uh.
Speaker 5: They also I noticed now have five oh Tuesday. Ye
Speaker 5: five oh Tuesday, five oh Tuesday.
Speaker 3: Then Weindnesday a.
Speaker 4: Wind w I n Yeah, is that what they're calling Wednesday.
Speaker 5: So they've taken over the whole week, which is kind
Speaker 5: of to their credit, kind of impressed.
Speaker 4: I mean I saw on Tuesday the place look full.
Speaker 4: That's pretty impressive. Yeah.
Speaker 6: And all the events, it's there's something every night. You know,
Speaker 6: I've got friends I'm seeing on social media it looks
Speaker 6: like they're already at the Kentucky Derby. I mean, these
Speaker 6: Monday Tuesday Wednesday events have gotten so big.
Speaker 5: Shannon's wrestling down on the waterfront tonight down on.
Speaker 4: The OVW's down the water front.
Speaker 5: I mean the reality is if you, and people who
Speaker 5: live there know if you want to get any work
Speaker 5: done in Louisville, just forget it this week.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's just not happening.
Speaker 5: I was talking to my accountant and he was like,
Speaker 5: I've actually got some time because no one's in the office.
Speaker 5: Like Louisville takes the whole week off. It's not even
Speaker 5: It's like they don't even contemplate working.
Speaker 7: So what is it considered now? The locals day at
Speaker 7: the track Tuesday? Oh, that's the local day Tuesday. Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 7: Thurby's expensive. Now Oaks is crazy expensive.
Speaker 5: So basically they're like in a few weeks, in a
Speaker 5: few years, they're going to have you three weeks before
Speaker 5: you on Easter and say that's it. Well, yesterday John
Speaker 5: Rothstein had a long scheduled interview, I guess with Mark Pope,
Speaker 5: and so I watched a little bit of it and
Speaker 5: he actually said some news. So you tell me, Drew,
Speaker 5: as we go through here, what of these things interest you?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 5: Mark Pope says that the job, the Kentucky job, is
Speaker 5: what he thought, but even more demanding. The fan base
Speaker 5: is not only crazy, they know everything you're doing on.
Speaker 4: A daily basis. Do you agree with that. I do.
Speaker 6: I like that part he said, I'll wake up in
Speaker 6: the morning and fans already know what I'm gonna do
Speaker 6: that day before I've even done it, And sometimes before
Speaker 6: I even know what I'm doing.
Speaker 4: We do, that's right.
Speaker 6: I mean when he first got here, I think you
Speaker 6: mentioned that, you know he's taken, He's going out to
Speaker 6: eat at Harry's, and we have pictures online within seconds,
Speaker 6: or whatever he's doing in town, whoever's in town at
Speaker 6: the airport. I think he was overwhelmed right away because
Speaker 6: when he was here in the early nineties, that wasn't
Speaker 6: really a thing. But we the fan base, was on
Speaker 6: every move he made the second he started the job.
Speaker 5: I'm glad he knows that because that's just what it's
Speaker 5: gonna be. That's right, you know, and that's not gonna change.
Speaker 5: He then said, and I like this, Ryan, that he
Speaker 5: loved being a head coach right now because college basketball
Speaker 5: could go twelve different ways, and they have mapped out
Speaker 5: models for each potential future of college basketball, and they
Speaker 5: have a plan for whatever happens when it happened.
Speaker 4: Isn't that amazing? I love that.
Speaker 5: That's amazing. That was my favorite part of it because
Speaker 5: that's what you're gonna have to do.
Speaker 4: You can see. You can sit there and complain about history,
Speaker 4: or you can try to make it work. It's right.
Speaker 7: And so many of the older coaches are like they're
Speaker 7: tapping out, they don't want to be a part of this,
Speaker 7: and then Mark like embracing it and wanting to be
Speaker 7: a part of this ride.
Speaker 4: So that was amazing.
Speaker 7: He said it for each different avenue that the basketball
Speaker 7: could go, they're ready for it.
Speaker 5: He asked what Mark Pope was looking for in the portal,
Speaker 5: not just this year, but in general, and he said,
Speaker 5: shooting is important, but the most important thing is being
Speaker 5: a decider. Decider that's his phrase, which is when you
Speaker 5: get the ball, you do quickly side what you're gonna
Speaker 5: do for the bigs. That might mean passing for guys
Speaker 5: that might be shooting whatever it is. I need guys
Speaker 5: who are ready to make quick decisions. Did you like that?
Speaker 6: I like that. Not to get too far down your list,
Speaker 6: But in that same point he talked about how coaching guys,
Speaker 6: there's so much that they're just gonna do on their own,
Speaker 6: and he expects big jumps from guys. You already retained,
Speaker 6: already known and gone through it, guy like Brandon Garrison.
Speaker 6: He mentioned so a lot of player empowerment and their
Speaker 6: decision making.
Speaker 5: He says he's gonna get one or two more people.
Speaker 5: I heard that they could be red shirt asque, but
Speaker 5: one or two more people, including potentially from Europe.
Speaker 4: So that means the roster's.
Speaker 7: Not there, and that would make sense why he was
Speaker 7: looking at that guy from Miami, you know, one guy
Speaker 7: that maybe could come in be act like a quote
Speaker 7: red shirt.
Speaker 4: But he felt like his twelve is his twelve.
Speaker 7: And he said, he said, we're gonna play all twelve.
Speaker 7: We're gonna play them all.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't know if you I don't know if
Speaker 4: I've ever seen that play in twelve, But.
Speaker 5: I don't know if you can do that. I mean,
Speaker 5: you can do it sometimes, but you can't do it.
Speaker 6: Regularly right, certainly not as year goes on you get
Speaker 6: to tournament. Even when cal platooned, he tied it up
Speaker 6: a little bit for the postseason. He did say the
Speaker 6: twelve he has already owned all the minutes on the floor,
Speaker 6: so he either wants a red shirt or someone who's
Speaker 6: a last year player that just wants to wear the
Speaker 6: Kentucky jersey and be part of that experience.
Speaker 4: He said.
Speaker 5: Jaden Quaintance is going is gonna be great, says he
Speaker 5: can already beat Mark Popit chess, which sounds impressive Shannon,
Speaker 5: until we know did Mark even know the rules of chess?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 3: Mark likes to play chess though, because he.
Speaker 5: If he likes to play chess, if this seventeen year old,
Speaker 5: eighteen year old has beaten him in chess, I like that.
Speaker 4: Maybe this is a very smart kid, I want to.
Speaker 6: Say, Pope. And maybe Colin Chandler had some battles throughout
Speaker 6: the year playing chess. He's mentioned it before playing with
Speaker 6: some of the players, so it might be another reason
Speaker 6: why he and Quainton's got along so well.
Speaker 5: He said he thought Brandon Garrison and Colin Chandler were
Speaker 5: both ready to make a massive leap.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, well he used to work for Brandon.
Speaker 6: Like Superstar, Superstar, Superstar Superstar, you know you want you.
Speaker 7: I'm glad to hear him say that about Brandon, who
Speaker 7: did kind of make a jump at time last year
Speaker 7: in the second half of the season.
Speaker 4: We take it. Definitely did throughout the season, he said.
Speaker 5: Jalen Lowe he's gonna quote unleash him, said he plays
Speaker 5: herky jerky like Shay Gilgess Alexander. His change of direction
Speaker 5: is elite, elite, and he plans on unleashing him to
Speaker 5: be a star.
Speaker 4: I think that means we're gonna see that dude shoot
Speaker 4: a lot. Yeah.
Speaker 6: They really liked him in the fit and how he
Speaker 6: has a pace of play. Pope basically said, we're just
Speaker 6: gonna let him go fast, fast, fast. Even compared him
Speaker 6: to an elite level tail back in football. How he
Speaker 6: can change direction and get around.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well that was exciting.
Speaker 5: And then finally on Denzel, Aberdeen said, when they found
Speaker 5: out he was available, they didn't even need to look
Speaker 5: at an evaluation because when they prepped for the Florida game,
Speaker 5: they saw a guy coming off the bench that was terrifying.
Speaker 5: And he said, we didn't even need to look I
Speaker 5: knew we wanted him immediately.
Speaker 7: Yeah, the guy obviously in the National Championship game, he
Speaker 7: played the last five minutes of the game for Florida,
Speaker 7: So obviously he's that type of player that can play
Speaker 7: in his championship situation.
Speaker 6: So you want a guy like that in your That's
Speaker 6: something Pope's done a lot of He did that with
Speaker 6: the first roster. Here it's the guys he's played in games.
Speaker 6: I mean, they played against Garrison and then you played
Speaker 6: against Oway. Maybe even a few others that are slipping
Speaker 6: my mind. Maybe even Kobe Braham might have had a
Speaker 6: game against him. But he Pope likes guys that he's
Speaker 6: already seen in competition, So.
Speaker 5: You know, I mean it's he has his own He's
Speaker 5: not like cal Perry speak. He kind of has his
Speaker 5: own Pope speak, which is a different kind of speak.
Speaker 5: But I still left that interview encouraged, and we got
Speaker 5: a little bit of news that they're gonna get a
Speaker 5: couple more players.
Speaker 4: So it sounds like they're gonna use up the whole roster.
Speaker 5: They're not gonna have another time where there's like an
Speaker 5: eleventh and twelfth.
Speaker 4: Man not being used.
Speaker 6: He also, when talking about Otega, always said his future
Speaker 6: is beautiful. He had to get a beautiful in there.
Speaker 6: He couldn't help himself. I liked a Colin Chandler facetimed
Speaker 6: him during the interview and he just took it. Made
Speaker 6: Colin Chandler part of the show, like John.
Speaker 5: Rothsis, Well, we are here at kas bar tell me
Speaker 5: what you what do you think of the group next year?
Speaker 5: Or you can extend some of you. We didn't get
Speaker 5: to all of your ask anything questions, so feel free.
Speaker 5: I got a dodge podge of random topics today, no
Speaker 5: overall theme. But we'll also do a Tubby player draft.
Speaker 5: Oh Tubby player draft. We did it with cow we'll
Speaker 5: do it with Tubby as well. We'll take a break.
Speaker 5: Be right back to Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome back. It
Speaker 5: is Kentucky Sports Radio. Tomorrow. I think we're gonna end
Speaker 5: up doing the show at my house. We had a
Speaker 5: number of you offer your places and I appreciate it,
Speaker 5: but nobody had the hardline internet that we uh that
Speaker 5: we need, so we're.
Speaker 4: I think we're just gonna do it at my house.
Speaker 5: So that'll be a rare uh KSR home game for
Speaker 5: me uh in in my in me cosa tomorrow.
Speaker 4: You excited to come?
Speaker 7: I am.
Speaker 4: We did it. There was about a year ago or that,
Speaker 4: right before we were on a trip.
Speaker 7: Yes, uh huh, yeah, I did it in your living room,
Speaker 7: so be good.
Speaker 4: So that should be fun.
Speaker 5: So everybody in the Highlands, I mean, don't come by,
Speaker 5: but in theory you you could come by if you you.
Speaker 7: Want to set up on your little porch outside.
Speaker 4: No, but you know.
Speaker 5: During COVID I would step on the porch and people
Speaker 5: would drive in honk yeah and say hello, which was
Speaker 5: always nice. Okay, so we have some breaking news shit
Speaker 5: running on as there Saint John's podcaster Davy eight.
Speaker 4: It's five thousand followers, so I mean you trust him.
Speaker 5: I'm on trust Davy eight because it also confirms with
Speaker 5: the news I put earlier last week that Saint John's
Speaker 5: will be entering the CBS Classic and will replace u
Speaker 5: C l A, which will lead to Kentucky Saint John's
Speaker 5: in Atlanta this year.
Speaker 4: Do you like that?
Speaker 6: I'm very excited about that game. When we did the
Speaker 6: zerv in the week, I picked Yukon to join the
Speaker 6: event overall, but sure one off with Rick Patino. I'm
Speaker 6: not gonna complain about that. Being Atlanta, Kentucky can have
Speaker 6: the better crowd, not having to go up to New
Speaker 6: York or anything.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think do it. That'll be packed.
Speaker 5: Yeah, right, Kentucky and Saint John's in it in Atlanta.
Speaker 5: That's gonna be a I mean, that's gonna be a
Speaker 5: packed house. Cool game. That's gonna be awes just as
Speaker 5: a fan.
Speaker 7: You're looking at it in Kentucky, Uclah, Kentucky, Saint John's. Yeah,
Speaker 7: I'm all in. We knew it was gonna happen. Sooner
Speaker 7: or later, they're gonna play each other with the Pope
Speaker 7: and Patino connection. If it happens in Atlanta first, I'm all.
Speaker 4: For it, all right, So let's go through the North.
Speaker 5: Carolina will play Ohio State, we will play Saint John's.
Speaker 4: Who has the biggest crowd?
Speaker 7: Uh yeah, Atlanta?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, so it's us when Rick Patino comes out. Now,
Speaker 5: we gave him the applause at the with Mark Pope
Speaker 5: saying basically walking out saying giving him the applause. Does
Speaker 5: he get applause when he's introduced as the coach of
Speaker 5: Saint John's about to play Kentucky.
Speaker 6: He'll get a little, but I don't think so. It
Speaker 6: was my same opinion with Cal he's there to beat
Speaker 6: your team, you don't give him a warm reception.
Speaker 7: The fact that it's in Atlanta, I think he will
Speaker 7: get a little.
Speaker 4: I agree with Drew. A little bit of an applause
Speaker 4: won't be.
Speaker 7: Huge, but he won't get booed like he would if
Speaker 7: he came in here or something. I don't know if
Speaker 7: that he would get booed even here now not maybe
Speaker 7: not now.
Speaker 5: I think John cal Perry would get booed, although there'll
Speaker 5: be a time that he won't. But I think even
Speaker 5: if even if Rick played here I actually did, I
Speaker 5: think he's gonna get a lot around applause. The kind
Speaker 5: of person that goes to the CBS Classic tends to
Speaker 5: be a person with a little bit of like financial means,
Speaker 5: because it's it's you know, the ticket's a little expensive,
Speaker 5: and then it's in December, so it's probably a hardcore
Speaker 5: I bet they.
Speaker 4: I bet he gets applause. I actually bet he gets
Speaker 4: a decent amount of clause.
Speaker 6: He has a Unlike cal he has the mark Pope Buffer.
Speaker 6: Nobody wants to upset Pope. They know how much he
Speaker 6: looks up to him and how he's trying to welcome
Speaker 6: him back.
Speaker 5: Hope, we'll say that week, make sure you give him
Speaker 5: around of applause. Now, what kind of teammates supposed to have,
Speaker 5: like maybe the most talented team in the country.
Speaker 6: They have a lot of new pieces, which is I mean.
Speaker 5: Our schedule next year is gonna be is gonna be
Speaker 5: really hard. Okay, so let's just look at our schedule.
Speaker 5: We play who do we play in the Champions Classics?
Speaker 4: Michigan State, so.
Speaker 5: We get we get a break there because they're not
Speaker 5: gonna be great, but Louisville's.
Speaker 4: Gonna be really good. Yeah, right, we'll get an ACC team.
Speaker 5: I don't know this, but I think it would make
Speaker 5: sense for us to get Duke, right because we don't
Speaker 5: play Duke in the Champions Classic for two years. I think,
Speaker 5: if I'm guessing the likely scenarios, we play Duke at
Speaker 5: home this year and Duke there next year. I mean,
Speaker 5: you gotta think they're gonna do that at some point.
Speaker 5: Isn't this year to do it?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 6: I would bet anything it's Duke or North Carolina, and
Speaker 6: Duke would be the favorite of Duke.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because next year we play North Carolina and Champions Classic.
Speaker 5: So I don't think they're gonna want to put us,
Speaker 5: you know, with them. So, I mean, I think the
Speaker 5: schedule is gonna be Michigan State, Duke, Louisville, Indiana, and
Speaker 5: Saint Johns and Gonzak.
Speaker 4: I mean, that is a hard schedule.
Speaker 5: That is a hard schedule at Louisville Duke at home,
Speaker 5: Michigan State and Saint John's on a neutral.
Speaker 4: Court, Indiana at home, Gonzaga in Nashville.
Speaker 7: That's pretty strong.
Speaker 4: And where is that? Where's this? Where's the Champions Classic?
Speaker 4: New York? New York?
Speaker 5: So we're looking at we're playing it, looking at playing
Speaker 5: in New York, Atlanta and Nashville.
Speaker 7: Well, if you're a fan that that's pretty good. You
Speaker 7: can't ask for something better. And those are all reachable
Speaker 7: destination you can go and watch these big games.
Speaker 5: I mean that's those are six hard games. Like those
Speaker 5: are six hard games. And then you know we play
Speaker 5: three stinky teams. Have what else has been announced from
Speaker 5: the schedule? Has anything else been announced? Any of the
Speaker 5: stinky games?
Speaker 4: Have they been?
Speaker 6: Hadn't Bellerman been announced announced?
Speaker 3: That's not a stinky game though.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean they were awful this year, weren't they
Speaker 5: like four and twenty.
Speaker 3: They got a new coach though, they'll be but.
Speaker 4: It's his son, so I mean it's gonna be a
Speaker 4: simple Listen.
Speaker 5: I love Scotty. He just had a tough final year.
Speaker 5: But play Bellerminton. So we kind of know at this point, Ryan,
Speaker 5: what our schedule is and after hearing Pope talk yesterday,
Speaker 5: I'm like, let's go.
Speaker 7: Bring it on. We're going if he likes the roster
Speaker 7: and says we can make a run, Let's start.
Speaker 5: At Saint John's, Duke and Louisville. Those will be three
Speaker 5: of the top seven teams in the country. Wow, we're
Speaker 5: gonna play three of the top preseason seven.
Speaker 6: That's gonna be big tickets. Also in C Central, that
Speaker 6: was reported. Okay, And I've heard a rumor to look
Speaker 6: out for. I don't even know the name of the school.
Speaker 6: I think it's like Texas Rio Grand Valley. Yes, just
Speaker 6: remember KSR told you first to look out for the
Speaker 6: fighting ut RGVS. That is a school. Yeah, I think
Speaker 6: we play them. It hadn't been announced. I just the
Speaker 6: streets have whispered that to me in the past. The
Speaker 6: streets are talking about that, you know. I just I
Speaker 6: keep my ear to the les of the streets and
Speaker 6: sometimes information just pops up.
Speaker 7: There's a Pope connection there right in the head coach,
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 4: It's just look out for I guess Rio Grand Valley.
Speaker 4: There we go.
Speaker 3: Who's first, Shannon, Let's go to Sean.
Speaker 8: Sean, go ahead, Sean, Hey, guys, it's nice to have
Speaker 8: a coaching and now back to the mentality of we'll
Speaker 8: play anybody anywhere. You know, we started that way back
Speaker 8: in twenty ten, and then it migrated to we need
Speaker 8: to give these freshmen time to jail. So it's nice
Speaker 8: to very true.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 8: So so the reason I called though, I listened to
Speaker 8: the podcast the other day and you guys are talking
Speaker 8: about the elam ending, which I'm for. It's it's a
Speaker 8: great thing. But I think college basketball has always had
Speaker 8: this mentality of we're the purest form of basketball. You
Speaker 8: don't see a lot of major changes. You haven't seen
Speaker 8: major changes. However, I want to make the case for
Speaker 8: real quick and I want to hear you're all day.
Speaker 8: Let's go, let's get yeah, let's go to six files.
Speaker 8: The reason for that is we keep we keep your
Speaker 8: superstars in the game. Uh. You know in the day
Speaker 8: and age where it costs a lot to go to games, Uh,
Speaker 8: you know, fans, fans gets enjoy it, and it takes
Speaker 8: the pressure off the official to keep the superstars in
Speaker 8: the game. I want to I think it would.
Speaker 4: Be the next change.
Speaker 5: College basketball needs to make quarters instead of halves. And
Speaker 5: then I like six foules. Play the best guys quarters
Speaker 5: instead of have you then you don't have the situation.
Speaker 5: You get two fouls in the first half, you're out.
Speaker 5: I think that's a that nobody wants to see that. Nope,
Speaker 5: we'll take a break right back.
Speaker 4: It's KSR attorney TJ.
Speaker 3: Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ. He'll make them pay now.
Speaker 2: More of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 3: Here's Matt Jones, quarkter back.
Speaker 5: Tugy Sports Radio. F I'm nine two twenty two eighty seven. Hey,
Speaker 5: those of you on the text machine seven seven two
Speaker 5: seven seven four five two five four. I uh was
Speaker 5: stuck in an appointment for a little while yesterday. Reading
Speaker 5: a lot of these texts, One person writes, Matt, if
Speaker 5: we pay the player six fouls and quarters, sounds like
Speaker 5: the NBA. I can't stand the NBA. Well what is
Speaker 5: I mean? People who say they can't stand the NBA?
Speaker 5: What can't you stand?
Speaker 4: Like? What is it?
Speaker 5: You don't like? The season's way too long? I understand that,
Speaker 5: but a good playoff game is good. The only difference
Speaker 5: between the NBA and college is that the NBA guys
Speaker 5: are better, But in terms of style of play, they're
Speaker 5: getting very similar.
Speaker 4: Used to be, the NBA was a completely different style
Speaker 4: of play.
Speaker 5: But if you watch NBA games now, they shoot threes,
Speaker 5: they spread the floor, they play zones sometimes like it's
Speaker 5: the game is similar.
Speaker 4: They're just really good.
Speaker 6: Well the textra So they don't like the NBA. Is
Speaker 6: it because there's six fouls and four quarters? Because that's
Speaker 6: the point we're trying to make here, Like maybe you
Speaker 6: don't like the NBA, that's fine, but I don't think
Speaker 6: the six fels would really like.
Speaker 5: I would like Ryan there to be a moratorium. Can
Speaker 5: all of us agree on this moratorium? Everyone just don't
Speaker 5: ever complain about players being paid again, Like about every
Speaker 5: fifth messages, I'm tired of these getting.
Speaker 4: Like it's not gonna change.
Speaker 5: So you can either you can either be okay with
Speaker 5: it or just not watch college sports. But the I
Speaker 5: don't think guys should be paid like this, or I
Speaker 5: don't think they should be paid as much. Like you
Speaker 5: just need to get over it. It's kind of well, okay,
Speaker 5: you know.
Speaker 6: There's a lot of money in the sports. Somebody's gotta
Speaker 6: get it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, It's like if you're watching golf and going like,
Speaker 5: I don't think there should be putting.
Speaker 4: That's you. Yeah, And that's why I don't play.
Speaker 5: All the time, because they're not gonna get rid of
Speaker 5: putting You're They're never gonna get rid of pay anymore.
Speaker 4: So if that's your problem, you probably just need to
Speaker 4: move on.
Speaker 7: Times are a changing, man. You got adapt to a
Speaker 7: changing world. We adapted to cell phones, we adapted to
Speaker 7: the Internet. You gotta adapt on once in a while.
Speaker 7: You gotta adapt to something like this.
Speaker 5: Speaking of adapting, Mark Zuckerberg, who I think might be
Speaker 5: the weirdest person on the planet. I thought Elon Musk
Speaker 5: was the weirdest person, but I think Mark Zuckerberg is
Speaker 5: worse because Mark Zuckerberg is wearing gold chains and T
Speaker 5: shirts and I think he looks ridiculous. I mean, he
Speaker 5: is the nerdiest person and he clearly thinks he's.
Speaker 4: Cool and that he's the worst. But anyway, he.
Speaker 5: Was on a theo Von podcast and theo Von asked
Speaker 5: him about AI friends. Shannon, do you know what an
Speaker 5: AI friend is? No, it's basically they're creating this thing
Speaker 5: where you can have something on your phone that's AI
Speaker 5: that will be your friend. Like, ask you how your
Speaker 5: day was have a conversation with your mom? Would you
Speaker 5: eat for dinner? And over time it'll learn who you
Speaker 5: are and in theory, become your friend. And Mark Zuckerberg
Speaker 5: said that the average person only has three friends.
Speaker 4: First of all, you think that's.
Speaker 2: True depends on what you call like friend, you know,
Speaker 2: like there's acquaintances.
Speaker 5: But what what do you call a friend? Like what
Speaker 5: do you think a friend is? Is it somebody you
Speaker 5: spend a lot of time with? Is it somebody you like?
Speaker 5: How many friends do you think you have?
Speaker 4: Like friends?
Speaker 5: By whatever definition you want to give Drew, how many
Speaker 5: friends do you have a lot more than three? I
Speaker 5: don't know, over fifty I don't even know how to
Speaker 5: you have more than anyone I know, but over fifties
Speaker 5: a lot.
Speaker 4: What would you classify as friends?
Speaker 7: I think somebody you keep in contact with, Like my
Speaker 7: high school friend only talk once a year, but he's
Speaker 7: still my friend.
Speaker 5: I think to be your friend, they have to you
Speaker 5: have to either be in their house or they're in
Speaker 5: your house in the last year.
Speaker 4: See, I don't know.
Speaker 3: My guys aren't my friends?
Speaker 5: Then that's true that I've never been in Shannon's house,
Speaker 5: So maybe Shannon's not my friend. Well either way, what
Speaker 5: I would say, I have like eight like like good friends.
Speaker 4: I have acquaintances or people I lie.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you're your inner circle.
Speaker 4: Of good friends.
Speaker 5: Says that most people have three or less friends, and
Speaker 5: he says, studies say you need fifteen friends. I don't
Speaker 5: know where these studies are that you need fifteen friends.
Speaker 5: And he said he thinks AI can be your other
Speaker 5: twelve friends, and he thinks there's nothing wrong with that,
Speaker 5: and one day we will be accepted that you will
Speaker 5: get on your phone and you'll go, I want to
Speaker 5: talk to AI friends seven today and they're always available,
Speaker 5: and they will, and that that will replace some human friendships.
Speaker 4: Now I think that's absolute nonsense.
Speaker 2: Sounds better than my normal friends though, because they're never available.
Speaker 5: Okay, well there you go. That's what I was gonna say. Yeah,
Speaker 5: all right, so it sounds like nonsense. But Channon just said,
Speaker 5: you know, sometimes like my friends, they've all had kids.
Speaker 5: You know, sometimes they're like my snot nosed kid has
Speaker 5: to like play volleyball, or you know, we gotta go
Speaker 5: to King's Island or I don't know, something like that,
Speaker 5: and then they're not available. Could it be that you
Speaker 5: could get that same connection with an AI for ITD.
Speaker 7: My initial reaction is, this is very sad. It's sad
Speaker 7: to me that they're But there are people out there,
Speaker 7: like maybe people who work it from home since COVID,
Speaker 7: and maybe they're a single mom the kids are out
Speaker 7: of the house, or.
Speaker 9: A dad the kids are out of the house. It's
Speaker 9: so good that like it looks like a real person.
Speaker 9: So it looks like a real person. It talks like
Speaker 9: a real person.
Speaker 5: You talk to them over zoom, and it's everything a
Speaker 5: person would be, except they're actual, not a real person.
Speaker 7: It's like I said, I think it's it's sad to
Speaker 7: think about it, but yeah, I'll be I would be
Speaker 7: happy for those people who at least not feel lonely
Speaker 7: and have some something.
Speaker 4: You would try to be friends with one of them.
Speaker 7: No, negative, not a chance.
Speaker 4: I think it's terrible.
Speaker 6: It's just gonna be more people being isolated, not looking
Speaker 6: up from their screens and not knowing how to exist
Speaker 6: in the real.
Speaker 5: I agree with you. He was taking up for it.
Speaker 5: He was like, in fifty years, everyone will look at
Speaker 5: this differently. He was like, in fifty years, AI friends
Speaker 5: will be almost like psychologists. They will give you what
Speaker 5: a friend gives you. It's just you can't touch them
Speaker 5: and see them.
Speaker 6: But what about when you have to go into the
Speaker 6: real world where there are real people and you have
Speaker 6: to interact.
Speaker 4: With people, then you'll be as awkward as he is.
Speaker 5: No, but I do wonder if some extent his view
Speaker 5: is like perpetuated by the fact that.
Speaker 4: He's awkward and weird. Uh huh. Yeah, and so maybe
Speaker 4: it works for him.
Speaker 7: You know, the folks that are stuck at home, I
Speaker 7: think you can order your groceries.
Speaker 4: You don't. You don't have to really leave anymore.
Speaker 7: You every think unless you have to work, you can
Speaker 7: work from home, you know, with a lot of the folks.
Speaker 7: So maybe this is a way.
Speaker 4: I found the interview. It's like three or four minutes.
Speaker 5: I found it very sad because he's probably right that
Speaker 5: it will fill that for a lot of people.
Speaker 4: But it is kind of sad. It's sad though, yep.
Speaker 5: But at the same time, I also will say, like,
Speaker 5: there's people who listen to the show. I'm like this
Speaker 5: with certain podcasts. I don't know those people, but I
Speaker 5: listen and I wouldn't say they're my friend, but I
Speaker 5: do get connection.
Speaker 4: So that's a great point.
Speaker 7: We have people call the show all the time and
Speaker 7: I get it.
Speaker 5: Look I'm the same way. I'm like that with so
Speaker 5: I don't know. I found it an interesting conversation, even
Speaker 5: though he is ridiculous looking on all sides. What's next,
Speaker 5: chester Chester? How are you Chester?
Speaker 10: Hey man, I'm doing pretty good. I had a question
Speaker 10: for you that I was wanting to know if you
Speaker 10: thought could ever become a row at reality in this
Speaker 10: new nil situation of things. Could you ever foresee a
Speaker 10: situation where Mark Pope would go down to say like
Speaker 10: an each and basically they work out in agreement where
Speaker 10: they would kind of work together on the NIL and
Speaker 10: send like the Travis Perry for the world there for
Speaker 10: a couple of years and then they practiced together and
Speaker 10: just I'd love to see that.
Speaker 4: The school was it where this coach just said this
Speaker 4: the other day.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think we even talked about it. Maybe like
Speaker 6: a G League Creuit college. There was a coach maybe
Speaker 6: he was at Fordham or something. There was a coach
Speaker 6: at one of these schools.
Speaker 5: We talked you what I talked about off the air
Speaker 5: that said they wanted to be this for a big program.
Speaker 5: They're like, we've talked to big programs about you go
Speaker 5: recruit eight guys in a recruiting class and send us
Speaker 5: forth and we'll do the first two years for them
Speaker 5: and then send them to you. That will basically be
Speaker 5: like your Triple A school, that this is like a
Speaker 5: mid major program.
Speaker 4: I think it makes sense.
Speaker 5: I think it would make perfect sense to say, you know, hey,
Speaker 5: Travis Perry, rather than why don't you go to Eastern.
Speaker 4: For you know, he'd already played for a year, so
Speaker 4: maybe you take.
Speaker 5: A notch below Travis Perry, but whoever, and you say,
Speaker 5: go play at Eastern where you can start and play
Speaker 5: every day, and then you'll be ready for us.
Speaker 4: And if you're not good enough, then you can find
Speaker 4: a school that's on the level you want.
Speaker 5: And if you're Eastern, you're gonna get talent that maybe
Speaker 5: you wouldn't have got otherwise, you know.
Speaker 7: You know, not along the same lines, but you know,
Speaker 7: we heard at Tennessee had tucked the wet guy away
Speaker 7: down at Lincoln Memorial thinking maybe they were gonna get
Speaker 7: it you end up giving.
Speaker 4: But that would make a lot of sense.
Speaker 5: There's a kid I saw who signed with Lincoln Memorial,
Speaker 5: who said that one of the major colleges. He didn't
Speaker 5: say he stuck me over here, but they suggested.
Speaker 4: I go here.
Speaker 5: Lincoln Memorial, I think is taking that view so true.
Speaker 5: I actually think it makes sense.
Speaker 6: I like the idea. You'll need it to get when
Speaker 6: they have contracts, so you know you're getting the guy back,
Speaker 6: so you don't just send someone you really want, kind
Speaker 6: of like the freeman at Lincoln Memorial ends up going
Speaker 6: to Auburn instead of Tennessee after Tennessee thought they had
Speaker 6: that one for a while. So I would want it
Speaker 6: in writing before I send them off to another school.
Speaker 6: But I think it would be a good idea.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Chester, I think it's a great idea. And if
Speaker 5: I'm in Eastern Kentucky, I embrace that because like Lincoln Memorial,
Speaker 5: that dude that went there, he might ended up in
Speaker 5: the NBA and one day they could hang up on
Speaker 5: their thing that this NBA played at his school and
Speaker 5: then went to Auburn, and then that helps them get
Speaker 5: other guys.
Speaker 4: So I think it's a great aye and.
Speaker 6: You might even get fan interest of their familiar to
Speaker 6: the player would normally go to an Eastern game.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's exactly right.
Speaker 5: If Kentucky, if we had a triple A squad in
Speaker 5: Eastern Chester, I'd go watch more games.
Speaker 10: Yes, sir, Yes, sir, I would, And I think it
Speaker 10: would be even a great opportunity. I don't know how
Speaker 10: much they could even do this, but you know, if
Speaker 10: they were working, if coach Pope and the coach down
Speaker 10: there worked together, they had worked the same system, they
Speaker 10: you know, like they could work together. And I think
Speaker 10: it'd be awesome for Eku and coach Hamilton down there,
Speaker 10: and also for the Cats and the fans.
Speaker 5: I totally agree with you appreciate the Colchester. When you
Speaker 5: look into the mirror in the morning, what do you.
Speaker 4: See a beautiful human being? Well, you might also see
Speaker 4: spots on your skin. That would worry.
Speaker 7: I do have one.
Speaker 4: Well, how about the Kentucky Skin Cancer Center.
Speaker 7: Maybe should go see him.
Speaker 4: Well, we're gonna be our next Friday. Okay, okay, do
Speaker 4: you have one for real?
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's on one of my sides of the brown
Speaker 7: specific You should go look.
Speaker 4: Get that checked out, Get that checked out. We'll check
Speaker 4: this one right here.
Speaker 7: I know it's it's on one side.
Speaker 4: Is it on this side? That's a huge spot for.
Speaker 5: You to think is on the other side. Look at that.
Speaker 5: That's oh yeah, we gotta get that checked out. We'll
Speaker 5: get it checked out at the Kentucky Skin Cancer Center Paduca, Franklin,
Speaker 5: Bowling Green and Owensboro. You can go get them checked out.
Speaker 5: Uh make sure you're not you there's no reason to
Speaker 5: have any worry. They can cure your skin cancer and
Speaker 5: give uh the best cosmetic uh cosmetic result possible. It's
Speaker 5: a Kentucky Skin Cancer Center and we are there next
Speaker 5: Friday in Owensboro at twenty nine to fifteen New Heartford
Speaker 5: Road in Owensboro, the Kentucky Skin Cancer Center where you're
Speaker 5: not just a patient. We'll treat you like family. Learn
Speaker 5: more at Kentucky Skin Cancer Center dot com.
Speaker 4: Sean, that's you should get. That's big. Yeah.
Speaker 7: My doctors looked at it. It's just like a son.
Speaker 7: She calls it a sun spot. But I guess yeah, I.
Speaker 4: Get that checked out. Go check it. I checked out.
Speaker 6: I heard Shannon's getting a facial during the pre show
Speaker 6: on Friday while we're there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, as long as we can pull that off, I'll
Speaker 3: do it.
Speaker 5: All right, Well, good deal, we'll take a break very
Speaker 5: BACKSKN Tucky Sports Radio.
Speaker 4: Welcome back Tekey Sports Radio.
Speaker 5: If I'm not in two eight oh twenty two eighty seven,
Speaker 5: text machine is seven seven two seven seven four five
Speaker 5: two five four one person rights. I know how Ryan's
Speaker 5: mind works. He thought the spot was on the other
Speaker 5: side because when he looks in the mirror, it's on
Speaker 5: the other side.
Speaker 4: That is a good guess as to how your mind works.
Speaker 4: Probably is that's why you thought it was on the
Speaker 4: other side.
Speaker 7: Really, even sitting how I don't I didn't know which
Speaker 7: side it was on. It was on one of these sides.
Speaker 5: But like, if you look in the mirror the side
Speaker 5: it's on, it's gonna be on the other side.
Speaker 4: That's exactly dud that I know. That's exactly what happened.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that texture of the day was inside Ryan's brain.
Speaker 6: That one uh one press rights.
Speaker 4: Matt.
Speaker 5: You always say, I like when people start senses like this.
Speaker 5: You always say you're a good Christian, but you do
Speaker 5: criticize people a lot. You're criticizing Zuckerberg doesn't seem very
Speaker 5: Christian Like.
Speaker 4: Well, here's what I would say.
Speaker 5: I doubt there's any or very few human beings on
Speaker 5: earth that don't criticize anyone if you do, I'll give
Speaker 5: you applause. I remember when my mom was a prosecutor. Sometimes,
Speaker 5: you know, in Bell County there would be very like,
Speaker 5: very religious like people and they would occasionally come in
Speaker 5: and say, I can't be on the jury because I
Speaker 5: don't believe you can judge anyone.
Speaker 6: And I should have tried that one.
Speaker 4: Well, you have to say, what do you know what
Speaker 4: denomination believes that?
Speaker 6: No, but I would have definitely found out for one
Speaker 6: of my ten jury dute.
Speaker 4: Eastins Well, I think the judge.
Speaker 5: The judge would then act like ask questions to make
Speaker 5: sure they were sincere in their belief so you might
Speaker 5: need to know at least what verse that comes from.
Speaker 5: But that was and they could get off jury duty
Speaker 5: sometimes by saying it is my faith. I do not
Speaker 5: judge anyone. So except those people, I don't believe anyone
Speaker 5: does not judge or critical size similar right, I'm sure
Speaker 5: that person that wrote that, if I scroll up, they
Speaker 5: call me a stinking liberal, like seven or eight tweets
Speaker 5: before that.
Speaker 6: Most of the good gossip in church circles anyway, Like
Speaker 6: I'm thinking about Steve Harvey talking about Sister Odell and
Speaker 6: that little skit. But you know, it's lots of churches
Speaker 6: like to gossip a little bit.
Speaker 5: And do you know one person that doesn't judge anyone ever?
Speaker 5: Come on, no, no, And by the.
Speaker 4: Way, this Larry.
Speaker 6: Maybe Larry would be my guess.
Speaker 5: You know, Larry would be the closest. But even he
Speaker 5: sometimes will go I don't like the way he acts,
Speaker 5: so I think away from that person, you know, I
Speaker 5: I don't think that that that that happens. If I'm
Speaker 5: nine two eighth eighty seven, we're gonna do a h
Speaker 5: Turby a Tubby draft nice here in uh in just
Speaker 5: a minute, one question, rights, Matt, I haven't heard anything
Speaker 5: about the.
Speaker 4: UK football team in months. Good sign, bad sign?
Speaker 7: My take is that's a bad sign. I think they
Speaker 7: know they're they're replacing sixteen starters, They've got new faces
Speaker 7: all over the time.
Speaker 4: I think they know they're gonna stink.
Speaker 7: I think if they knew they were gonna be good,
Speaker 7: they'd be pounding their chest a little bit.
Speaker 5: But or maybe is it the ever they've been pounding
Speaker 5: their chest for the last few years didn't go well
Speaker 5: and they've taken a lot of criticism for it, and
Speaker 5: so they're they're taking a step.
Speaker 4: Back I hope. I just don't feel that way.
Speaker 6: I think that's it. They don't want to set a
Speaker 6: high bar and then fall short and just get even
Speaker 6: more criticism than what they've already gotten. They have been
Speaker 6: very quiet over there since the since the off season started.
Speaker 5: Let me ask you a question. Well, these are hard
Speaker 5: heart these are fans that would know. We'll ask you, sir,
Speaker 5: do you know what the name of our quarterback is
Speaker 5: going to be next year?
Speaker 4: Yeah? What is it? Yeah? See you don't But what's
Speaker 4: his name? Do you know his name? I mean, this
Speaker 4: is not a criticism of you.
Speaker 5: I just think Nick Calzada or Nick Calzada, Zach Calsanda
Speaker 5: proved your point, but his brother Nick is is. They're
Speaker 5: very close Zach Calzada. Okay, you get my point. Yep,
Speaker 5: we don't know. We don't know anything about him. This
Speaker 5: is our quarterback, the one position on the field that
Speaker 5: presumably you know, we don't know anything.
Speaker 4: And by we, I'm throwing myself in there. I don't know.
Speaker 4: I have no idea about the quarterback of our football team.
Speaker 6: I think it's all very intentional. This is the most
Speaker 6: quiet they've ever been. I said this when it happened
Speaker 6: but they had that spring game and the social media
Speaker 6: didn't even mention it for twenty four hours. Not a
Speaker 6: gates open, get in here. It was almost like they
Speaker 6: were hiding it from everyone.
Speaker 5: Chennan, Would you know Zach Calzada if he walked into
Speaker 5: that studio.
Speaker 3: No, but he would be old because he's a seven
Speaker 3: year guy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, he'd have like been game or something because
Speaker 5: he's old. But otherwise yeah, I mean that that makes
Speaker 5: this a fascinating thing, and that we just don't know
Speaker 5: the team at all.
Speaker 6: I think they're actually gonna be a little better, but
Speaker 6: they know how brutal the schedule is and they don't
Speaker 6: want to set any kind of bar to fall short
Speaker 6: of it and have fans all over him like they
Speaker 6: were last year.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna have to do a lot of research just
Speaker 5: to even in August like preview the team, because I
Speaker 5: just don't know anything about them.
Speaker 7: At all, all these new faces. I can tell what
Speaker 7: I know about Zach Calzada from incarnit. Word's got a
Speaker 7: cannon for an arm and a.
Speaker 4: Little bit of a beer belly. It's got a beer belly,
Speaker 4: A little bit of a belly, just a little one.
Speaker 4: How do you know that just my scouting services. You have,
Speaker 4: you have beer belly scouting services. Yeah, okay, nothing wrong,
Speaker 4: a little belly. We like to Jared the rooms he's got.
Speaker 4: So he's got a belly.
Speaker 5: There's gonna be a picture, Shannon come out with him,
Speaker 5: like a six pack or something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then we're gonna go. I don't know if
Speaker 4: that was right.
Speaker 3: They got touched up like Ryan's picture did.
Speaker 4: It's got Tristan, go ahead, Tristan, good morning, gentlemen.
Speaker 11: So seeing as how this is a fully pro Rick
Speaker 11: Patino podcast, I feel it's my duty to call in
Speaker 11: and say that everybody who goes that Atlanta game needs
Speaker 11: to boo him until your throats bleed and then boom
Speaker 11: some more. Thank you very much of a great day.
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, it's not a pro Rick Patino podcast.
Speaker 6: Don't put me in that group.
Speaker 5: Drew is not pro. No, Ryan and Shannon are. I
Speaker 5: have mixed feelings. I used to be negative. I'm probably
Speaker 5: leaning slightly pro now. But there are people like that
Speaker 5: caller though, who are like, why are we not booing
Speaker 5: Rick Patino at every moment?
Speaker 6: Marcia, Yeah, we know. Marsha's gone on quite a few
Speaker 6: rants on the show. There are several people that will
Speaker 6: not forgive, whether it be going to Louisville or other
Speaker 6: things he did, and there's people that won't get past that.
Speaker 7: It's just crazy. His last time here is Louisville coach.
Speaker 7: He flipped us off as he walked out. Next time
Speaker 7: at Rupprin, he's carrying the championship trophy. We gave him
Speaker 7: a standing ovation.
Speaker 6: That tattoo's gotta come off before I turn.
Speaker 4: Is that what it takes.
Speaker 6: It doesn't have a Kentucky tatso interesting. Remove the tattoo,
Speaker 6: then we'll talk. Let's say, let me ask you this.
Speaker 5: The day Cow retires at Arkansas, he comes to the
Speaker 5: next year's Big Blue Madness, does he get an ovation
Speaker 5: like Rick?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 7: The next year maybe carrying out the twenty twelve trophy
Speaker 7: with the twenty twelve team.
Speaker 4: I think it's a little a sudden. Tyler Ewis the
Speaker 4: head coach, it happen, that would make it happen. We'll
Speaker 4: take a break right back
