Speaker 2: since he's been gone, because well, we were we were
Speaker 2: in Milwaukee, we were in Nashville for a week. We're
Speaker 2: in Milwaukee for a week. We're in Indianapolis for Yahday.
Speaker 4: You were in Florida for a week, and I was
Speaker 4: in Florida for a week. I tell you, it felt
Speaker 4: really long to me last week, very lonely.
Speaker 2: Drew Pealuza was a huge success. Though huge success. By
Speaker 2: the way, I have a new favorite, did you. I
Speaker 2: don't know if you saw the UK baseball game last night,
Speaker 2: but there was a dude wearing a banana costume plate
Speaker 2: like he was doing like jumping jacks behind home plate. Shannon,
Speaker 2: he's my new whoever you are, dude, you're my new favorite.
Speaker 3: I didn't see it. I don't know how I missed it,
Speaker 3: but maybe we need to get you in a banana
Speaker 3: suit right next to him again. I would do it,
Speaker 3: dueling bananas.
Speaker 2: I would do it. I would put the banana suit
Speaker 2: on a stand behind a home plate like you cause
Speaker 2: there was you know, the crowd a small and behind
Speaker 2: home plate. That camera shot from centerfield. Do you only
Speaker 2: see like maybe fifteen people? And here he is in
Speaker 2: a banana suit doing like jumping jacks behind home plate.
Speaker 2: So whoever you are, dude, shout out to you. You
Speaker 2: did a great job.
Speaker 4: When you get back out there. We went to a
Speaker 4: game early together. Yes wee me, you and Manny out
Speaker 4: there in left field, had right fun, loved it. I
Speaker 4: think their next home game is it Louisville?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 6: Maybe?
Speaker 4: Maybe? Yeah, I figure they're at Tennessee Tennessee this weekend.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I turned down a trip because nobody wants to spend
Speaker 4: free time in Knoxville. But uh, let's get back out
Speaker 4: there soon. I always have fun. It's been a while
Speaker 4: for me. I haven't seen any of the SEC games yet.
Speaker 2: Uh so full lines will be open eight five nine
Speaker 2: two two tweet seven.
Speaker 4: You're gonna go join us over here. So yeah, Mario
Speaker 4: Mitch McConnell's new best friend.
Speaker 2: Yesterday, Shannon, you had a studio full of celebrities. Terry
Speaker 2: Miners had Mitch McConnell, and even Super Mario was there
Speaker 2: walking around the studios yesterday.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw that Mario got some clips of Mitch McConnell,
Speaker 3: but I was just I didn't see it at first.
Speaker 3: I just heard it and I thought it was you Ryan.
Speaker 2: So did you did you get a meet? I did
Speaker 2: get the Senator.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I met him.
Speaker 8: I was more fascinated with the agents, the agents that
Speaker 8: they had, the special agents. They were obviously you like
Speaker 8: when you think about agents for that work for the government,
Speaker 8: you think that they're like serious. They weren't serious. They're
Speaker 8: like really nice. The Secret Service agents they were like
Speaker 8: really nice. So that kind of threw me off a
Speaker 8: little bit. How did you think there was like RoboCop
Speaker 8: was gonna be there with them? I mean, they have personalities.
Speaker 8: Thought they're gonna be like serious and like, you know,
Speaker 8: really professional about it.
Speaker 7: They're like regular people.
Speaker 2: Did they have to did you have to check you,
Speaker 2: check you out, patch you down?
Speaker 7: Didn't? I was expecting that. I was a little nervous.
Speaker 4: I was checking.
Speaker 7: I was checking my backpack.
Speaker 4: I was like, my good make sure I took all
Speaker 4: that out of there.
Speaker 2: So did you ever did you get to talk to
Speaker 2: Mitch McConnell.
Speaker 7: Yes, I did.
Speaker 3: You know, we met him and you know, he what
Speaker 3: was that conversation. What did you say? I want to know,
Speaker 3: Like with the dialogue.
Speaker 7: I said, how you doing, senator? And he was like,
Speaker 7: I'm good and good? How were you, sir? And then
Speaker 7: it was over with. It was that you.
Speaker 4: On the show. We should have a Mitch mcconaughll off
Speaker 4: here you all debate each other.
Speaker 7: Not as good as Ryan.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll be Mitch McConnell. You be you, and you
Speaker 2: like meet me for the first time.
Speaker 4: Okay, go ahead, A right, all right?
Speaker 7: How you doing, senator?
Speaker 3: Are you sir?
Speaker 9: Well?
Speaker 3: What's your name?
Speaker 7: I'm Mario. How you doing, Mario?
Speaker 2: It was nice to meet you, Darrio. It's a pleasure.
Speaker 2: I hear great things about you on that Indiana sports radio.
Speaker 7: He did not say that, but I was spot on right,
Speaker 7: that was definitely spot on.
Speaker 4: Did you feel more pressure, uh, you know, making your
Speaker 4: videos with him than you do, say a Ryan Lemon here.
Speaker 7: Not really? Uh, he was, Uh.
Speaker 8: It was kind of hard to like, uh, and this
Speaker 8: is no knock against him, but to keep up with
Speaker 8: the interview. Usually when I'm recording, I kind of you know,
Speaker 8: I'm listening to what they're saying. He was a little
Speaker 8: bit harder because I'm not gonna lie. He's not the
Speaker 8: most interesting, you know, speaker. But you know, like I said,
Speaker 8: it was it was cool to be in I guess
Speaker 8: his presence.
Speaker 2: So was your job yesterday just to kind of shoot
Speaker 2: some video clips of Terry interviewing him and then posted
Speaker 2: on the social media?
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was That was my job.
Speaker 8: Basically, I get in there, you know, whenever they have
Speaker 8: a guest, I show up and then produce clips. Whatever
Speaker 8: Terry wants to do, I kind of do it.
Speaker 3: I'm sure the comment section on those posts were.
Speaker 7: Great, they were very interesting. A lot of people had
Speaker 7: a lot to say.
Speaker 2: Well, you've been on there a couple other times? Have
Speaker 2: they been other guests?
Speaker 7: Yeah, so I do.
Speaker 8: I work with both shows, like Tony and Dwight his
Speaker 8: Morning their morning show I work with, and then Terry's
Speaker 8: kind of the afternoon they've had. Typically every time I
Speaker 8: had I come, they have a guest, like whether it's
Speaker 8: like with an adoption adoption fund, like Tony and Dwight
Speaker 8: had an adoption fund come on, and you know Terry,
Speaker 8: he kind of mixes it up all types of people
Speaker 8: coming there, and you know, they talk about what they
Speaker 8: got going on.
Speaker 4: So I forget about us. We know how hard they
Speaker 4: like usually across the whole company, as they should. You're
Speaker 4: very talented your assets, I heard. But don't forget the
Speaker 4: little people.
Speaker 7: Drew, y'all know, y'all are home. Bro, y'all are home.
Speaker 7: I'm not worried about that.
Speaker 4: You haven't. You haven't shared a hotel room with Mitch McConnell.
Speaker 4: He didn't stay up watching Gilbert Arena's YouTube with you.
Speaker 4: Remember where home is?
Speaker 3: But what's McConnell's consistency rate versus Ryan? Would Mitch? Would
Speaker 3: you say it would be a lot more consistent than Ryan.
Speaker 7: He's a little bit more consistent, a little bit more consistent.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've never met him. I've never met him. Oh well,
Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever been in the same room
Speaker 2: with him. Oh yeah, yeah, we're at fancy Farm. I've
Speaker 2: set at his desk.
Speaker 4: You said, yeah, uh, are you supposed to say this?
Speaker 4: I've said it before. I put my feet up. I
Speaker 4: got a photo floating around there. Somewhere, many many, many
Speaker 4: years ago. I was getting a tour of the Capitol
Speaker 4: and they were like, well, we have to show you
Speaker 4: the Kentucky Office, And no one was in there and like,
Speaker 4: would you like to sit at his desk? And I
Speaker 4: was like would I? Yeah, I got to be McConnell
Speaker 4: for about two minutes. It's Capitol one day.
Speaker 7: You got to see that picture.
Speaker 8: What blows me away, Drew is like how long he's
Speaker 8: been in Like he's been in office for a long
Speaker 8: time that I didn't notice.
Speaker 7: I didn't know he's he's been like there.
Speaker 8: I don't know what's the the exact amount, but he's
Speaker 8: been there for a while.
Speaker 4: One hundred and forty two years. Actually, yeah, it's a record.
Speaker 2: It's so much. Some guys even write a book about him.
Speaker 4: Did it come up about Matt. He and Matt aren't
Speaker 4: like the best of friends. They're not like Ron and Shannon.
Speaker 4: They're not vacationing together. Was it awkward at all?
Speaker 8: No, he didn't say anything about Matt. I don't even
Speaker 8: think he knows that I worked for a Matt right
Speaker 8: for the best.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yea, that is what it is.
Speaker 4: Well, great job. We're glad to have you back. Thank you.
Speaker 4: We're a little jealous that I heart's sharing you with
Speaker 4: everyone else now, but we understand why continue to do
Speaker 4: good work, even if it's with senators and not with Ron.
Speaker 7: Thank you, man.
Speaker 2: I appreciate that you can join us this conversation, du
Speaker 2: because really this is kind of for Shanning, but you
Speaker 2: can join us on this one.
Speaker 7: What's up?
Speaker 2: You know we talked about Jeff Bezos rocket ship Space
Speaker 2: Shuttle that went up in the space with Katie Perry
Speaker 2: and his wife and.
Speaker 3: Gil King, Gil Gail King.
Speaker 2: Well, now there's a bunch of controversy about this, Shannon.
Speaker 2: Have you seen this all this controversy about the.
Speaker 3: Was it real? Is it stage?
Speaker 2: Was in CGI? Are you following all this?
Speaker 3: Yeah? So there's you know, some Internet sleuths out there
Speaker 3: who believe that this didn't take place in space. It
Speaker 3: actually took place in a studio. Does that sound familiar
Speaker 3: to anybody who doesn't believe in the moon landing. There's
Speaker 3: some people that are claiming that, you know, you see
Speaker 3: in the video that Katy Perry and all of them
Speaker 3: are floating around. They're saying that they were actually in
Speaker 3: water floating it. This whole thing was a CGI Hollywood
Speaker 3: production and that it didn't actually happen in space. Do
Speaker 3: you believe that? Is there anything to the conspiracy?
Speaker 4: Anybody? I like a good conspiracy. I'll step in here.
Speaker 4: I'll say, this is in your wheelhouse. I believe they went.
Speaker 4: But did you see the clip of them open the
Speaker 4: door and close it real quick? Yeah, that was sunny.
Speaker 4: They acted like Jeff Bezos had to like get this
Speaker 4: big drill and open the door from the outside, and
Speaker 4: right before he walks up to it, they opened it
Speaker 4: from the inside and the woman's like, no, no, go
Speaker 4: back in and close it. We can all see it,
Speaker 4: like we saw them open the door. And then a
Speaker 4: minute later, Jeff's like, all right, now we're gonna let
Speaker 4: him out, and he gets this drill and even when
Speaker 4: he's drilling, the door opens again. So I believe they
Speaker 4: actually went somewhere, but it was still over the top.
Speaker 4: They certainly staged the door opening because they opened it.
Speaker 4: You could see them and they're like, no, no, close, close,
Speaker 4: We've seen.
Speaker 5: That, drew.
Speaker 3: That was weird.
Speaker 7: They couldn't like edit it out or anything like that.
Speaker 7: That was kind of that was strange. The door.
Speaker 8: It looked like the door was slightly opening and then
Speaker 8: he kind of pulled it back.
Speaker 7: The dude pulled it back and grab his tool.
Speaker 4: You're not supposed to open that.
Speaker 2: They can't deny that. I mean, we all saw it.
Speaker 2: The door's opening from the inside, they shut it back.
Speaker 2: Then he comes out with his screw hammer, jack hammer
Speaker 2: whatever he.
Speaker 4: Toolie had, and Katy Perry is saying that their trip
Speaker 4: is uniting the whole country. Come on, let's calm down.
Speaker 4: You went on, you went on a ride. Yeah, you
Speaker 4: went on. You took a ten minute ride. I mean,
Speaker 4: I'm sure it was fun and it's neat that we
Speaker 4: get to do that now, But I don't I don't
Speaker 4: feel that unified with anyone or thought it was that
Speaker 4: SPARI I said this yesterday, But there are plenty of
Speaker 4: women who are at NASA or all these other operations
Speaker 4: doing lots of good things. They could have highlighted them.
Speaker 4: Why does Katy Perry have to go take a lap
Speaker 4: around and then come back and tell us she's changing
Speaker 4: the world? Stick to American idle. Katie saying, some people
Speaker 4: saying it was CG.
Speaker 2: I like even the landing, the landing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're saying all of it CGI. So you know, again,
Speaker 3: conspiracy theorist if you want to believe that.
Speaker 4: But which I'm one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, the landings, what you know, may have a
Speaker 2: little validity because it looked like they landed pretty hard,
Speaker 2: but yet they walked out.
Speaker 4: You know, hey, we're just fine. You know we're a
Speaker 4: seat belts on, buckle.
Speaker 2: Up, put your phone down.
Speaker 3: We're good.
Speaker 4: They said Katie was up there singing something about what
Speaker 4: a wonderful world? Yeah, what are we doing? We have
Speaker 4: enough problems down here on our own planet. We didn't
Speaker 4: stop going other planets unless we're actually accomplishing something.
Speaker 8: They said they were up there for like eleven minutes.
Speaker 8: So you guys think that was too long or too short.
Speaker 4: I think it's dumb. I think eleven seconds was dumb.
Speaker 4: Put that put all that effort in those resources to
Speaker 4: doing something that matters, not sending Katy Perry up there
Speaker 4: to sing wonderful.
Speaker 2: World's money start to waste to send to those four
Speaker 2: up there.
Speaker 4: For sure, I'm going to cancel my Amazon subscription. That
Speaker 4: got me so fired up.
Speaker 3: I tried to one time. I couldn't couldn't do it,
Speaker 3: got it, couldn't go two weeks without it.
Speaker 4: Somebody's got to pay for Katie Perry's roll track.
Speaker 2: All right, we'll take our break, go back to find
Speaker 2: as we come back, But I do want of them.
Speaker 2: Just mentioned one thing for we go to break. This
Speaker 2: is kind of sad. You know, each community's got their
Speaker 2: one guy who's like everybody's coach. He coached little league
Speaker 2: coaches at the high school. He's like everybody's coach. Well,
Speaker 2: Morgan County was a guy by the name of Donnie mackenzie.
Speaker 2: And Donnie touched a lot of lies Morgan County and
Speaker 2: sadly he just passed away this week. Uh So I've
Speaker 2: seen a lot of people kind of reach out and
Speaker 2: you know, praising his what he did for that community.
Speaker 2: Always trying to do what's better for the best, for
Speaker 2: the kids, and I can put them on the right track.
Speaker 2: But so we want to give Donnie McKinzie a little
Speaker 2: shout out from over in Morgan County and rest in
Speaker 2: peace and prayers to all you and your families. All right, Well,
Speaker 2: take our break, come back eight five nine two two

Speaker 4: Taxes Kentucky Tax Radio today.
Speaker 2: Well goodness, so all right, go back to the phone line, Shannon.
Speaker 2: Who he got, Judy, Judy, go ahead, Judy.
Speaker 9: Hey, good morning, jud.
Speaker 10: When I heard about the beautiful day, when I heard
Speaker 10: about Wilkerson, I got online and looked at some of
Speaker 10: his comments and other people's comments, and that dude wanted
Speaker 10: to be the guy. He wanted to pay thirty five minutes.
Speaker 10: I think UK actually offered him a little bit more money,
Speaker 10: but he would.
Speaker 5: Not have fit in.
Speaker 10: Dirises. I am glad he's not coming, And really I
Speaker 10: think he's just a pray to competition.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 10: And I didn't like his language. I just I just
Speaker 10: I just didn't feel good about him. I don't think
Speaker 10: he would have fit in. You're all comments about that, Thank.
Speaker 4: You, J appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Jay's out.
Speaker 2: We try to, you know, we kind of mentioned that
Speaker 2: that maybe it's a blessing in disguise, that maybe somebody
Speaker 2: like that would not be a good fit with what
Speaker 2: Pope has tried to do. And we saw it this
Speaker 2: year when he brings in these guys from all over
Speaker 2: the place, just to play a specific role, maybe the
Speaker 2: role that this guy would have had. And you know,
Speaker 2: with you know, Pope didn't play anybody more than what
Speaker 2: twenty five thirty minutes. Maybe this guy thought he should
Speaker 2: get thirty five forty minutes. You know who knows. But
Speaker 2: I think there may be a little truth to what
Speaker 2: Judy is saying.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's what Kenzei's kind of up against. When
Speaker 4: you have twelve guys right now, all capable of playing
Speaker 4: minutes and expecting to play whoever they're gonna go to next,
Speaker 4: It's gonna happen again. I'm sure another school will be
Speaker 4: on the list saying here, we'll put you on the posters,
Speaker 4: give you the ball you want, come here. But at Kentucky,
Speaker 4: you know you're gonna have to be part of something
Speaker 4: bigger and assuming always back and with the pieces they've
Speaker 4: already added, you're unlikely you're gonna be the star. No
Speaker 4: matter what, You're gonna have to buy into the role
Speaker 4: that Pope's is trying to put you into.
Speaker 2: I just don't I'm and obviously they need a shooter,
Speaker 2: and obviously that's one thing he can do. I just
Speaker 2: don't know if at just the comments he made on
Speaker 2: the field of sixty eight kind of made me like think, oh,
Speaker 2: maybe that maybe it wouldn't have been such a good fit,
Speaker 2: even though that even though that's the one spot you need,
Speaker 2: you need a shooter.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, who knows about him. Maybe it is
Speaker 4: a blessing. It's hard to really say how he feels.
Speaker 4: We don't know him. And that was one comment, but
Speaker 4: it did show what Indiana was selling versus what Kentucky's selling. So,
Speaker 4: you know, as I said, it was a loss because
Speaker 4: Kentucky went all in. But sometimes you just can't match
Speaker 4: a team that's got five pieces and plenty of shots
Speaker 4: to go around when Kentucky has what they have. So
Speaker 4: it just is what it is. It's not I don't
Speaker 4: think this is like, you know, head to head Pope
Speaker 4: versus Devrees, Dvrye, whatever his name is, that it's a
Speaker 4: big indictment on Pope. I just Indiana had much more
Speaker 4: they could give him, including maybe even putting someone in
Speaker 4: Stata happen here. So and if you're Wilkinson and you're
Speaker 4: probably not going pro and they offer you all that,
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm a Kentucky so I'd say I wouldn't.
Speaker 4: But if you're him from Arkansas, you could understand. Why sure,
Speaker 4: I'll go be the guy and bring my mentor with
Speaker 4: me and get a little more money.
Speaker 3: Shannon, who's next, Wayne?
Speaker 4: Wayne?
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Wayne, thank you.
Speaker 11: I want to talk about two issues, the tax issue
Speaker 11: and also the NECO issue. Let's start with a tax issue.
Speaker 11: So just everybody is aware of the fact that if
Speaker 11: you're a Kentucky resident and you are an employee, then
Speaker 11: what happens is if you play a game and say
Speaker 11: Indiana or Kentucky, they have what we call reciprocal agreements
Speaker 11: or arrangements. What that means is that you will not
Speaker 11: pay income tax and for the time you spent in Indiana
Speaker 11: or the time you spend in Kentucky. But again it
Speaker 11: goes back to you have to be Kentucky resident and
Speaker 11: the only income you have in that other state is
Speaker 11: employee income. Now, I don't know about the n L agreements.
Speaker 11: If they are, I assume that the in this case,
Speaker 11: the athletes are employees of the university. I just don't
Speaker 11: remember exactly how that was set up. So hopefully that
Speaker 11: clarify is that and I guess if they're not considered
Speaker 11: an employee, they would be considered an independent contractor. In
Speaker 11: that case, they would have to pay income tax in
Speaker 11: a state where they played a game, right, whether they be.
Speaker 2: Just to clarify, I think that's where the wrestlers are
Speaker 2: involved in and something like that. So what else you
Speaker 2: got for us?
Speaker 11: We'll talk about the Nico situation, but I have a
Speaker 11: different spin on it, and I know what Tennessee did.
Speaker 11: They basically said they're walked away from and said you're
Speaker 11: on your own. But normally, in this case, they signed.
Speaker 11: I guess Nico probably signed a four year contract with Tennessee.
Speaker 11: So if he basically decided he was still going to
Speaker 11: be part of the team but he was going to
Speaker 11: sit out, then I think one way to stop all
Speaker 11: these issues would be after the seasons oversue him for
Speaker 11: breach of contract and damages. And I want to make
Speaker 11: it clear the damages would be if they expected to
Speaker 11: win ten games as an example, and the only one four, well,
Speaker 11: because of that the six games they lost, the revenue
Speaker 11: for ticket sales was decreased. They lost revenue because the
Speaker 11: concession stands, and they lost revenue because of parking or
Speaker 11: whatever else they sell.
Speaker 2: This is getting complicated, you down. Yeah, So Wayne, we appreciated, buddy.
Speaker 2: I know there's you're getting way into the weeds, and
Speaker 2: I know you're probably right, but it's way over my
Speaker 2: head and probably most of our listeners not even gonna
Speaker 2: hear him out, not even gonna hear him about I mean,
Speaker 2: I know what he's saying, but it's I don't have
Speaker 2: an answer for him.
Speaker 4: So you can.
Speaker 2: You can talk all the tax lingo jingo you want.
Speaker 2: I know, I I'm not gonna say, well, you're probably right,
Speaker 2: but nothing I can do about it.
Speaker 4: That's a cliffhanger. I don't know what he was gonna
Speaker 4: say about Nico. I think I was hanging on to
Speaker 4: every word, but I guess you're you're, you're, you will stop.
Speaker 2: Turning and will stop turning. My ADHD kicked in long
Speaker 2: before he got the Nico. All right, who's next, Shannon Blake?
Speaker 2: Blake just blocky, blocky, go ahead, block block block A.
Speaker 12: Uh yeah, I just want to talk about Wilkerson. I
Speaker 12: don't think it's that big of an issue. Like, I
Speaker 12: get that we lost it, but I think with the
Speaker 12: timing of a Kaden Lewis kind of leaving, I think
Speaker 12: we'd already gone in thinking that we had a back
Speaker 12: like another ball handler, and we were looking for only
Speaker 12: a shooter. But now this gives us a chance to
Speaker 12: go and get a combo guard that could be that
Speaker 12: kind of secondary ball handler if we needed it, and
Speaker 12: a shooter. Right, So overall, like I think the timing
Speaker 12: of it. You know, we'd probably already made plans with
Speaker 12: Wilkerson with a KAYT and Lewis in mind and like
Speaker 12: having him on the staff, and that probably like changed
Speaker 12: within a couple of days of him supposed to be meeting.
Speaker 12: So overall, I think it's I'm kind of excited about
Speaker 12: it because I think now we can go try to
Speaker 12: fill the two gaps we need, which is shooting and
Speaker 12: a backup point guard. With Wilkerson, we wouldn't have had
Speaker 12: the extra ball handler. I I don't know how well
Speaker 12: he could have done that, but I think that now
Speaker 12: we have two needs and not just the one that
Speaker 12: we were looking for originally with the Kaiten Lewis lead.
Speaker 2: There you go, Blake, that's what we needed. That's our
Speaker 2: whiskey thief call today, a little positive spin on what
Speaker 2: we're looking at. Because most people felt like we needed
Speaker 2: a shooter and a backup point guard. Why not go
Speaker 2: just get one guy Drew that can do both.
Speaker 5: Go.
Speaker 4: I think there's a little truth for that. Shout out
Speaker 4: whiskey thief, go to the new location in New lou
Speaker 4: or at the farm. Uh yeah, Cay and Lewis leaving
Speaker 4: really messed up the plan all the way around. And
Speaker 4: part of him leaving was because the plan got messed
Speaker 4: up when they got a junior instead of a senior
Speaker 4: at point guard. But they hadn't really been shopping for
Speaker 4: a guy that's a primary ball handler to back up
Speaker 4: low until Lewis stepped away. You know, he had already
Speaker 4: taken up a lot of the nil money. You thought
Speaker 4: that spot was filled, and now they're kind of having
Speaker 4: to regroup and see how they want to finish out
Speaker 4: the back court. But with him leaving, you also have
Speaker 4: whatever Kayden Lewis was getting, You got that to spend.
Speaker 4: But him leaving at the time he did changed a
Speaker 4: lot of things. Who maybe kerk Crease it doesn't even
Speaker 4: leave if if Lewis decommits in February and not a
Speaker 4: week ago, there's a big domino effect with all of that.
Speaker 2: You know, I ain't thought about that, but yeah, if
Speaker 2: Lewis had decommitted earlier. That may have made a big
Speaker 2: difference in how the roster shaped out. A point guard.
Speaker 4: Maybe Pope and the staff had an indication Lewis leave
Speaker 4: behind the scenes. It seemed to blindside everyone else, so
Speaker 4: I don't think they did. Even his dad was tweeting
Speaker 4: Kentucky things all wait until the last minute, so that
Speaker 4: that kind of threw off everything they were shopping for.
Speaker 4: So the caller could be right. Getting someone that can
Speaker 4: do a little bit of both might be the direction
Speaker 4: they go.
Speaker 2: Now, has there been any schools linked to Kayden Lewis yet?
Speaker 4: Villanova? I saw Marylyn mentioned he's from the DC area.
Speaker 4: He's probably gonna stay close to home. Who knows, maybe
Speaker 4: Rick will Rick will get him. But I would watch
Speaker 4: that East Coast Northeast.
Speaker 2: You know, they say you should never meet your your idols,
Speaker 2: your heroes, and it was very evident that Panama City
Speaker 2: Beach last week with them Shannon and me. Shannon got
Speaker 2: to meet one of these idols and it didn't go
Speaker 2: as well as we thought it was going to. The
Speaker 2: guy's name is Jean Mitchell. Shannon loves him from Jean Mitchell.
Speaker 2: He's like a lounge singer. It plays at all the
Speaker 2: restaurants and bars down there in Panama City. Shannon's big
Speaker 2: hero got to meet him. And then Shannon, he didn't leave.
Speaker 3: No, it turned out he had a little Kentucky Joe
Speaker 3: in them, like he wouldn't leave you alone. Ryan brought
Speaker 3: him over. Like I always joke about it, all right,
Speaker 3: it's this local guys, this old cheesy guy that gets
Speaker 3: up there and he plays uh covers and you know,
Speaker 3: entertains everybody there at the local restaurants. And I brought
Speaker 3: Ryan and yoga girl to this place, going you got
Speaker 3: to see this local legend, Jean Mitchell. Ryan thinks, oh,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna, I'm gonna it be funny to bring him
Speaker 3: over here and get a picture with Shannon. Well, the
Speaker 3: joke turned out to be on you, Ryan, because he
Speaker 3: would not stop talking to you.
Speaker 4: He wouldn't leave.
Speaker 3: He took a liking to you.
Speaker 13: Uh.
Speaker 3: He stayed there.
Speaker 2: For like thirty minutes and was kept talking and kept talking.
Speaker 3: And then I felt like every song from that point
Speaker 3: four was dedicated to you. He did play Hooting the Blowfish,
Speaker 3: Shooting the Blowfish. He look over and give you a
Speaker 3: little wink.
Speaker 2: Yeah, played Darius Rutger Wagon wheel.
Speaker 4: You got a wink?
Speaker 2: Yeah, got a wink?
Speaker 4: Was there more of this friendship than we're knowing about?
Speaker 3: Shannon?
Speaker 2: Is like, Man, I know you've got a lot of albums.
Speaker 2: I listened to all your albums and that just like
Speaker 2: Liddy's light Bulb by Oh, I have a real fan here.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna stay here and talk to him.
Speaker 3: Well, truth be told, I haven't heard any of them,
Speaker 3: but but I saw that he does have a He's
Speaker 3: got a bunch of I guess stuff that he wrote.
Speaker 3: So everybody go follow Gen Mitchell on social media. Let's
Speaker 3: see any Kentucky random followers. We can get this guy,
Speaker 3: Gen Mitchell.
Speaker 4: Did you find him on Twitter?
Speaker 3: Is he on Twitter?
Speaker 4: On his website?
Speaker 3: He's on Facebook? I know, Okay, look him up and
Speaker 3: you'll see what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: Can you pull up one of these songs. We'll play
Speaker 2: it maybe the next segment coming out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can see if I can find that.
Speaker 2: We got to go on to Gen Mitchell song, Shannon's
Speaker 2: big hero, his idol.
Speaker 4: I think there's more to this Gene Mitchell Ryan story
Speaker 4: than we're getting right what happens in.
Speaker 3: Right Back.
Speaker 2: This is Sports Radio.
Speaker 1: TJ Smith Personal Injury attorney called tj He'll make them pay.
Speaker 3: Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio present it by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 3: Here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 2: So this is Gene Mitchell.
Speaker 3: Dude, how can you not like this? I mean, Jimmy
Speaker 3: Buffett used to open up for Gen Mitchell. That's how
Speaker 3: big Gene is.
Speaker 2: How did this guy not become a superstar with songs
Speaker 2: like my Corona?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, you mean, how is he not?
Speaker 3: He is a big star.
Speaker 2: He is a big star in your mind. A Sharky's
Speaker 2: in Runaway's in Panama City. That's about it.
Speaker 3: He's a local legend. But you were laughing his name.
Speaker 4: You were laughing. But as someone who hasn't had a
Speaker 4: vacation in a while, this actually makes me want to
Speaker 4: go sit on the beach of the I gotta say,
Speaker 4: Geen Mitchell, waste this is. This is pretty good. It's
Speaker 4: taking me to a place i'd like to go.
Speaker 2: I will say this, Shannon, you'll back me up on this.
Speaker 2: He was much better than the guy they had the
Speaker 2: previous night.
Speaker 3: Oh, like Drew, we had a guy that was like
Speaker 3: it was just him and a guitar. But like when
Speaker 3: the drum part came up. You know, he didn't have
Speaker 3: any other instruments, so he would just beatbox it with
Speaker 3: his with you, with his voice.
Speaker 4: You know, whole min.
Speaker 3: It wasn't good. It was good beat boxing. Yeah, it
Speaker 3: was just like it's not like Ryan what he just
Speaker 3: did there.
Speaker 4: I'm enjoying this like a little beach music.
Speaker 2: Well, let's just let let Mitchell play a little bit here.
Speaker 4: I must have missed this last week during Drew Paluza.
Speaker 4: I was a little busy. But you tweeted a picture
Speaker 4: with Jean Mitchell. Yes, we did, and looks like a
Speaker 4: guy who likes the party and that that is no
Speaker 4: way that's his hair. But Shannon and Yoga Girl and
Speaker 4: Sarah said, his.
Speaker 7: Hair's not his hair.
Speaker 4: His hair, that's great hair.
Speaker 3: Everybody that has hair that's over the age of forty
Speaker 3: Ryan says, that's not their real hair.
Speaker 2: Carl Ravitch, Jean Mitchell, he kind of himself not their
Speaker 2: real hair.
Speaker 4: He kind of has the same haircut I have going on.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 4: Maybe I've got a little Geen Mitchell in me. I
Speaker 4: like Geen Mitchell.
Speaker 2: Well, he's performing nightly at Runaway. He's down at Panama
Speaker 2: City Beach. If you want to go check you out.
Speaker 3: Go see Jean, tell him KR sent you.
Speaker 2: Oh my hey, boom chicken a boom boom boom boom
Speaker 2: eight five, nine, two, two eighty seven.
Speaker 4: Who's our collars? Shannon?
Speaker 9: Leave it o?
Speaker 3: Gene plays going in the background, the background, Johnny, Johnny,
Speaker 3: go ahead, Johnny, you're off with Gen Mitchell.
Speaker 14: Hey, guys, st IM's just been watching the football trench
Speaker 14: reportal since it opened this morning, and I've noticed we've
Speaker 14: already lost like two or three offensive line and a
Speaker 14: couple defensive line. On the defensive back. One of them
Speaker 14: was the big guy from New Mexico. I thought he
Speaker 14: was going to be a starter of this fall. He's
Speaker 14: only on campus for a couple of months. Any idea
Speaker 14: what's going on there?
Speaker 2: I appreciate the calle Johnny, good question. I mean I
Speaker 2: knew they lost their backup offensive right tackle at hand
Speaker 2: into the portal. There may be some others hit this
Speaker 2: morning that I haven't seen. Drew, have you see anybody else?
Speaker 4: No, he's right, it just opened. I'm trying to react
Speaker 4: to news here. I said, I was in the dentist chair.
Speaker 4: I didn't see you this morning. They lost a couple
Speaker 4: guys the Anthony Crease. Uh I saw that yesterday. Uh
Speaker 4: Cuavo Marshall the cornerback. Some guys I hadn't really play.
Speaker 4: Oun't know if they were gonna play a lot. It's
Speaker 4: probably why they're removed. But Kentucky has a few needs
Speaker 4: and they had a full roster, so you needed a
Speaker 4: little bit of attrition. So not all guys leaving are
Speaker 4: bad news because they Kentucky might need to go out
Speaker 4: and get some now that the portal's back open, and
Speaker 4: you got to make room.
Speaker 2: And it's possible they've already got guys that were waiting
Speaker 2: to this portal open, but they've alread committed to Kentucky.
Speaker 2: Had to go through the process, and maybe these guys
Speaker 2: at UK know that, and that's why they're going ahead
Speaker 2: and trying to find another home or too late.
Speaker 4: He scared me when he said New Mexico, because I
Speaker 4: love Pete. Is Pete, she has Pete. I'm still learning
Speaker 4: the pronunciation from New Mexico state. So he scared me.
Speaker 4: I run. I ran to Kentucky Sports Radio dot Com
Speaker 4: to make Pete, make sure Pete didn't go anywhere. But
Speaker 4: it was the the you know guy that I don't
Speaker 4: know if play Wallace Unamba entered the transfer port. Okay,
Speaker 4: but Pete from New Mexico State. I love him. He's huge.
Speaker 4: I've talked about him last week after seeing him six eight.
Speaker 4: He'll be a big piece. That's why I got a
Speaker 4: little scared when he said in New Mexico.
Speaker 2: He's a good player.
Speaker 4: Yes, he's still a round. That would have been a
Speaker 4: bad loss.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: No, No, the kid you mentioned went to New Mexico,
Speaker 4: but my brain went to Pete. So no, it's still
Speaker 4: good there. But yeah, there'll be a few guys leaving.
Speaker 4: Some of have already left, but you gotta make room
Speaker 4: so they can go out and get some pieces, hopefully
Speaker 4: True Edwards the wide receiver that they're kind of waiting
Speaker 4: on a decision another year, hopefully, and get him on
Speaker 4: campus because I think the receiver room could use a
Speaker 4: big contributor.
Speaker 2: Appreciate it, Johnny. Thanks for the phone call eight five
Speaker 2: nine to it two two seven. It's our cars. Pumpish
Speaker 2: you off phone number. Who's next? Change?
Speaker 6: Tom?
Speaker 4: Go ahead? Tom?
Speaker 13: Oh, Hi, guys, how are you doing?
Speaker 4: Are you Tom?
Speaker 9: Hey?
Speaker 13: I'm doing well. I've got a topic that I don't
Speaker 13: think i've ever.
Speaker 9: Heard you all talk about.
Speaker 13: I'm curious about this around academic eligibility. Two quick questions.
Speaker 13: One is who who sets the requirements for student athletes
Speaker 13: college student athletes? Is it the NCAA, is it the conferences?
Speaker 13: Or is it the individual school? So that's one and two.
Speaker 13: Now that we're in the thick of this transfer portal,
Speaker 13: nil money grabs on and so forth, I don't think
Speaker 13: I've ever read or heard of a of a transfer
Speaker 13: you know that's making their second third fourth this school.
Speaker 13: The word come out they're academically ineligible. So it makes
Speaker 13: me wonder is that being relaxed. Are they, you know,
Speaker 13: enough money on the line? Is academic eligibility is still
Speaker 13: a big deal?
Speaker 2: I appreciate it, Tom, I'll try to answer all your questions. No,
Speaker 2: it's not a big deal anymore. Schools find a way
Speaker 2: to get them eligible. And it's just true. It just
Speaker 2: is they did find a way to get you eligible.
Speaker 2: We had Shade and Sharp magically have a transcript appear.
Speaker 4: In the middle of the season.
Speaker 2: We've had transcripts show up on a fax machine during
Speaker 2: the season.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's just my favorites. Big Z, big Z. Well,
Speaker 4: when Kentucky got big Z into school last year, and
Speaker 4: I was rooting for it. I was, I was down
Speaker 4: for whatever they're doing behind the scenes. But I don't
Speaker 4: know how they got a kid into classes when it
Speaker 4: was almost midterms. There's no way. Yeah, there's no way
Speaker 4: that could that should be. It was impressive work. Whatever
Speaker 4: happened there, cal whoever did it the school good stuff.
Speaker 4: I didn't even know that was an option. You could
Speaker 4: just show up in the middle of the semester, but
Speaker 4: it worked out.
Speaker 6: So.
Speaker 2: But to answer Tom's first question, I think the NCAA
Speaker 2: has academic standards. I think they, like the conferences, have
Speaker 2: academic standards, but the schools also have academics answered standards,
Speaker 2: like at Vandy it's higher than it is at Kentucky.
Speaker 4: Yeah, has their own bar. You gotta, you gotta, But
Speaker 4: then each school can even make that higher. Obviously, you
Speaker 4: can get into one school much as you can go
Speaker 4: play for Duke eight two.
Speaker 2: Eight time we got another one up. Who's next, Dave, Dave,
Speaker 2: go ahead, Dave, Hey.
Speaker 9: What's up?
Speaker 5: Guys?
Speaker 9: Are you aware that last night that one of the
Speaker 9: most elite coveted UH scoring guards and early on in
Speaker 9: the portal who originally committed to South Carolina from I
Speaker 9: think it was North Dakota on Mars the thirtieth, y'all
Speaker 9: realized that he de committed. He he opted out of
Speaker 9: his commitment last night for South Carolina. I just wondered
Speaker 9: if that's a coincidence, and consider that we lost yesterday.
Speaker 2: Drew mentioned that at the start of the show that
Speaker 2: that kind of his little shocking he de committed just
Speaker 2: two weeks after he committed to South Carolina. But I'm
Speaker 2: sure Kentucky's gonna make that phone call if they haven't already.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you're ane, go ahead.
Speaker 9: Yeah, tuned to the light. I'm sorry, guys, I'm sorry
Speaker 9: that I didn't bring to bring up a don't subject there.
Speaker 9: But this kid would. He's the late score. I think
Speaker 9: he dropped forty on Alabama. He had a forty eight
Speaker 9: point game last year. I mean, this kid could put
Speaker 9: it in the bucket. I think he would. I think
Speaker 9: he would serve as the score of the shooter and
Speaker 9: also the backup point guard.
Speaker 2: So appreciate funk call. His last name is Egleson right,
Speaker 2: Eagle Staff, Eagle Staff. I was close right on it.
Speaker 3: Ryan butchering every recruits.
Speaker 4: Okay, let's go back to our recruits.
Speaker 2: Mohammad Diabante, No, no, don't put the end in there.
Speaker 2: You're close, Mohammed Diabate. There you go, Okay, Mohammed Diaba
Speaker 2: And Yelsich his first name is something Yelsich Yellovich.
Speaker 4: Well, we still don't have confirmation, but I'm going with Andreas.
Speaker 2: Andreas Yellovich Yellovich.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Now he could come here and correct us and call
Speaker 4: us an idiot, but that's that's how I interpreted it,
Speaker 4: And by me, I mean I went to Google and
Speaker 4: typed it in a pronunciation machine.
Speaker 2: And Jordan Lowe to the point guard.
Speaker 4: My goodness, Jayden, right, are you still in pan City
Speaker 4: listening to Jean Mitchell. I've got I've got six months
Speaker 4: to get figure out these. We can't have another year
Speaker 4: where you don't know two of the five starters' names,
Speaker 4: like Maar Butler. You'll get it, though. I think it's impressive.
Speaker 4: Your closest on the Croatian and you're missing the kid
Speaker 4: from Pittsburgh in Alabama, Cam Williams. I hope you can
Speaker 4: get there and go. What about the big guy we
Speaker 4: just got from Arizona State. He was formally committed to
Speaker 4: Kentucky and Cayden acquaintance. There you go, Look, there you go.
Speaker 2: I mean you're basically talking about the uh there, we're
Speaker 2: talking about names. There's apparently, I don't know if this
Speaker 2: is true, there's apparently it's some dude in Somerset whose
Speaker 2: name is Mark Pope.
Speaker 4: Okay, have you heard this? I think you told me
Speaker 4: one time, so the only time I've heard it is
Speaker 4: from you. But carry on, refresh my memory and educate
Speaker 4: the listen.
Speaker 2: I've tried to do some research. I found a Mike Pope,
Speaker 2: but I've not found a Mark Pope. But apparently there
Speaker 2: is a Mark Pope in Somerset. I think he's missing
Speaker 2: a great and opportunity to capitalize on that.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, And if it's if it's Mike Pope and this
Speaker 4: is just off terrible story for subject. So does this
Speaker 4: does this alleged Mark Pope? Mark, Mike Pope, MARIOSLV. Well,
Speaker 4: here's where it came up. You know, when they call
Speaker 4: in to the iHeart studios, their name shows up. Okay, Well,
Speaker 4: apparently the name showed up and it said Mark Pope.
Speaker 4: But it wasn't UK's Mark Pope. It was another Mark Pope.
Speaker 4: And they chased traced the number back to Somerset or
Speaker 4: Pulaski County somewhere down there. So you're putting out a call,
Speaker 4: and where are we going with this? Do you want
Speaker 4: people to confirm? Are you just telling me that there's
Speaker 4: a guy named Mark Pope? Discussion?
Speaker 3: Is you realize though, like when names pop up, it's
Speaker 3: because somebody has already, like from the studio prior, put
Speaker 3: the name in there. So it's very possible, Ryan, that
Speaker 3: a producer accidentally typed the name Mark Pope on some
Speaker 3: random number from Somerset.
Speaker 2: And now don't you get you get a name on
Speaker 2: your caller ID in your in your.
Speaker 3: Studio to ask, well, if they've called before, if they've
Speaker 3: called before, yes, but somebody originally had to put that
Speaker 3: name into the system.
Speaker 2: Okay, somebody knows this, it's a Mic Pope, maybe Mark
Speaker 2: and Mike.
Speaker 3: Probably Billy would know. Well what well will will Well?
Speaker 2: We got the sources down in Somerset, a.
Speaker 4: Lot of listeners in Somerset.
Speaker 2: Nancy.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, like I've had this happen before, where
Speaker 3: I think that I'm googling maybe the name Mark Pope,
Speaker 3: but then I realize, oh, I'm typing that into the
Speaker 3: call screen and have to go back and take it out.
Speaker 3: I'm saying that probably happened. That's more likely to have happened.
Speaker 3: Then there's another Mark Pope in Somerset.
Speaker 2: We're gonna find out if it's true. Though, what's what's
Speaker 2: next step. If it's true, we're getting him on the show. Okay,
Speaker 2: we've got to talk to him.
Speaker 4: Okay, so we need to a confirm Mark Pope exists
Speaker 4: in Somerset and b then get him on the show.
Speaker 4: But if it's a Mic Pope, we'll just keep living
Speaker 4: our life. Look, phone line just lit up.
Speaker 2: I bet somebody on this show on right right now
Speaker 2: knows about this Mark Pope and Somerset and.
Speaker 4: Eight offerr up and Joby Hall on the phone right now.
Speaker 2: Probably not an eight off roup, but I bet there
Speaker 2: could Joe Hall. There was a Joe Hall that played
Speaker 2: down in Paducah.
Speaker 4: I bet there's a lot of Joe Hall.
Speaker 6: There.
Speaker 2: We go, all right, we'll take our final break, come back,
Speaker 2: our final segment. Here, I can take a sports radio.
Speaker 2: Don't go away.
Speaker 3: That's good stuff.
Speaker 2: This is so bad.
Speaker 3: No, it's not.
Speaker 4: This is great.
Speaker 3: Bite your tongue. O, gosh, you don't have a true
Speaker 3: appreciation for good music.
Speaker 4: What's wrong with this Jean Mitchell? What is the name
Speaker 4: of this song?
Speaker 3: Make mine up? Pinat Klatta?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I can see why he's a big star.
Speaker 4: Got the steal drums back there?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's good. I mean the podcast right now, you're
Speaker 3: really missing out.
Speaker 2: Oh that's true.
Speaker 4: We're not gonna have it on podcasts. I feel that
Speaker 4: for this makes me miss Jimmy.
Speaker 3: They're the real losers of the day of the podcast
Speaker 3: listeners that don't get to hear this.
Speaker 2: All right, I've got some some answers to the Mark
Speaker 2: Pope in Somerset mystery.
Speaker 4: We've been waiting on pins and needles to know if
Speaker 4: there's another human named Mark Pope.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna go through it.
Speaker 4: I can't continue my day until I know.
Speaker 2: I want to go through the list of people that
Speaker 2: have sent me on the Avis and Glass text machine.
Speaker 2: There is a doctor, Michael Pope, who is a dentist
Speaker 2: that they know of for sure. Okay, all right, Mike
Speaker 2: Pope is my dentist in Somerset. He's a huge UK fan.
Speaker 4: I told him.
Speaker 2: I was going to tell everyone he was Mark's brother,
Speaker 2: but then he gets better. There is a Mark Pope
Speaker 2: in Somerset. I deliver his mail. And then a guy,
Speaker 2: our friend Phil, sent me Mark Pope's age address and
Speaker 2: phone number that we got calling.
Speaker 4: Just poor guys, just living his life today, working somewhere,
Speaker 4: just nice, honest living. And here we are just rattling
Speaker 4: off his information.
Speaker 3: Wait, have you told the guy that a radio show
Speaker 3: might be calling him?
Speaker 2: Or we're just calling?
Speaker 11: Now?
Speaker 2: Here's somebody sent me his Mark Pope's Facebook page and
Speaker 2: he lives in Houstonville, which is in Lincoln County.
Speaker 4: Right, I'm just going to do people today in the show.
Speaker 2: Let's call let's call that number, Let's see if we
Speaker 2: can get him.
Speaker 3: In this final segment, listening to Gen Mitchell and you
Speaker 3: want me to call up a Mark Pope in Somerset.
Speaker 4: You're a cold call Mark Pope. Yes, the man is
Speaker 4: just out there working, trying to feed his family today.
Speaker 4: Is he gonna take a call from a radio? Yes, okay, you're.
Speaker 2: Gonna call him, Shannon at the Geen Mitchell song.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, no, not.
Speaker 4: On the air.
Speaker 2: You can call him and see if you can get
Speaker 2: a hold of him.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Here, you want to just keep Gene going there
Speaker 3: in the back, keep Gene.
Speaker 2: Going, and let's get up a phone call. While you
Speaker 2: do all that, we'll talk to Lance Lance. Go ahead, Lance.
Speaker 5: Hey, Ryan, I had a patience this morning, so I
Speaker 5: couldn't listen. So I don't know if you have touched
Speaker 5: on this, but I was reading an article last night
Speaker 5: that Mike Leach, when he was a head coach had
Speaker 5: to be talked out by his assistants of putting a
Speaker 5: little person on the football team and throwing them over
Speaker 5: the offensive line. Would that or would that not be
Speaker 5: legal in football?
Speaker 4: Well, since the.
Speaker 2: Tush push is legal, I assume you could throw a
Speaker 2: little person over the line for a touchdown in football.
Speaker 2: I guess I don't know Drew what he.
Speaker 4: I saw this online. It went viral. I even a
Speaker 4: couple of group texts them, and we were all passing
Speaker 4: around because that's a wild story. And if anyone would
Speaker 4: have ever considered that, it's definitely Michael Leach r I P.
Speaker 4: I don't know that it's confirmed, but it would not
Speaker 4: surprise me if Michael each tried to get that put
Speaker 4: into the playbook.
Speaker 2: You know, I told you I've told this story. I
Speaker 2: used to see Mike Leach roller blading around my neighborhood
Speaker 2: when he was assistant coach with hol Mummy roller blading,
Speaker 2: shirt off headphones, Walkman headphones on. We probably a cassette
Speaker 2: tape player roller blading.
Speaker 4: I missed the Pirate. I was a big fan of
Speaker 4: the Pirate and all all his stops in college football,
Speaker 4: even liked him at Mississippi State when I don't normally
Speaker 4: like that place. So we miss him. And I hope
Speaker 4: the story that was passed around is true about him
Speaker 4: wanting to run that play. I assume it's it's legal.

Speaker 4: maybe we should call Mike.

Speaker 2: this Mark Pope.
Speaker 4: You know, there could be several Mark Pope. It's not
Speaker 4: that uncommon of a name.
