47
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: so very nice to be out here. I've played this

48
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 2: golf course quite a bit over the years, lost a

49
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: lot of golf balls on the part where all the

50
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 2: houses are on the left, hitting people's yards. So it's

51
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 2: a great place to be. We stayed last night at

52
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: the Holiday Inn, the New Holiday Inn out there at

53
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 2: the edge. It was fun because we got to see Mario.

54
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: I thought Billy was soft, I mean Mario. Ten minutes.

55
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 2: Mario was walking around saying crazy stuff in Hopkinsville. So

56
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 2: it was nice. He was having a good time.

57
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 5: He fully initiated. He really did stay in with Ryan.

58
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 5: Traveling with Ryan. I'll tell you break somebody, so Ryan did.

59
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 2: I I heard you all talked about this earlier, but

60
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 2: of course there's people who may not have heard it.

61
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: You I heard were not just snoring. You were talking

62
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 2: in your sleep last night.

63
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, Mario said, I did everything I was talking. I

64
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 3: was snoring like crazy. But the best story I think is,

65
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 3: you know how Billy got locked in a bathroom On

66
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 3: one of the road trips, Mario and I.

67
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 2: Got locked out of our bathroom.

68
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 3: So at two o'clock in the morning, I get up

69
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 3: to pee and the doors locked our bathroom. Mario had

70
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 3: accidentally locked the door to the bathroom. We couldn't get in,

71
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 3: so I had to go down in the lobby at

72
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 3: two o'clock in the morning and get somebody to come

73
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 3: up to our room. I'd brought him up to a

74
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 3: room when Mario was asleep to open the bathroom door

75
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 3: for us.

76
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: Because you have like that excuse me, I you know,

77
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 2: but we're all friends here. You have that old man

78
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: prostate where you have to like you have to like

79
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 2: pee like every like three or four times a night. Amen.

80
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, like I said earlier, if I can get

81
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 3: through one night without peeing, I am a happy camper.

82
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 2: Is that like a goal of yeah, like you like

83
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: it's nineteen ninety nine.

84
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 5: But if you're in a room just with one other person,

85
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 5: I don't know about you, guys.

86
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 2: I don't lock I shut the door.

87
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 5: I don't lock the door, like I would trust that

88
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 5: Ryan wouldn't just wander in.

89
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 6: Are you guys like that?

90
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: Do you?

91
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 2: Why don't you just not drink before you go to bed?

92
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 2: Or do you? Does it not matter?

93
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 3: No? I do that normally. But you know, we were

94
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 3: having some drinks last night, so I wanted to, you know,

95
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 3: be social.

96
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 7: Well.

97
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 2: Good, Well, I'm glad you got out of it. Ryan,

98
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 2: You're always good at this. All the best athletes from Hopkinsville,

99
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: this town. We talk about this every time we come.

100
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 2: We talked about it last night. I would say this

101
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: town has to be one of the national leaders in

102
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 2: NBA players per kapita of any and especially in like

103
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: a ten year period.

104
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 3: At one point, Yeah, outside of Louisville, Hockinfill's produced the

105
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 3: most NBA talent basketball.

106
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 2: More than Lexington. I don't think a lot of people

107
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 2: in the state runs. There are more NBA players from here,

108
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 2: oh yeah, than in Lexington in the last thirty years.

109
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 3: Chris Whitney was probably the first one that started the

110
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 3: all this onslaught of great basketball talent. Isaiah Victor, Lamont Barnes, Hopson,

111
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 3: Greg Buckner, Andre Buckner, Robbie Moss, Anthony Hicky, I mean

112
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 3: those are just basketball players.

113
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 2: I mean that's eight really good basketball like. Of those eight,

114
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 2: the one people may not know is Andre Buckner who

115
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 2: played it Duke you know, I mean like that that

116
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 2: they have had an unbelievable run here drew and a

117
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 2: lot of those were, like I said, in a ten

118
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 2: year period. There was a time. I don't know, have

119
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 2: the schools combined yet, hopkins are they going to combine

120
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 2: the building it? Hey? How are you by the way? Uh,

121
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 2: they're going to combine. But there was a time you had,

122
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 2: uh a Hopkinsville and Christian or Christian County and they

123
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 2: were all good, all good at basketball.

124
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 4: But you do tell me about it. I went to Madisonville.

125
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 4: We did not love seeing the Hopkinsville schools on the schedule.

126
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,799
Speaker 4: You could go all day with football players. Remember Curtis Pully,

127
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 4: They could do about everything.

128
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 2: With r Kus.

129
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 3: Pinner was a football player from here. Jerry Clayburn is

130
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 3: from here. I mean, Hopkinsville brings it.

131
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, so a lot of athletes and like I said,

132
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 2: great great place to be today. So I I guess

133
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 2: it was what a day or two ago that I

134
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 2: was on the show, and I well, I guess it

135
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 2: was yesterday and we talked about grading Mark Pope okay.

136
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 2: And so during that conversation I had a lot of

137
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 2: people write me and I we ran into some guys

138
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 2: came out last night to the mixer where we were

139
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 2: and we're talking about it, and they were sort of

140
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 2: talking about with Mark Pope. They said they sort of said, Matt,

141
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 2: give me like your actual, not what you hope, but

142
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 2: kind of your actual. Do you think this is going

143
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 2: to work? And if it's going to work on what

144
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 2: level is it gonna work? So I was thinking about

145
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 2: that last night. I was trying to think, Okay, what

146
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 2: is what do I actually think is gonna happen? And

147
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 2: it was interesting because when I when I spoke with

148
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: him on Wednesday, he has a vision which I'm not

149
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: gonna go into because I want him to be able

150
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 2: to share it. I think he wants to come on

151
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: this show and sort of at some point shit a

152
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 2: long term vision for the program that I find interesting

153
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 2: but and exciting, but also different than I think a

154
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 2: lot of people in coaching are doing. So I'll start

155
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 2: with you, Drew, do you do you think before Mark

156
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 2: Pope leaves here? I'm gonna go over a few do

157
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 2: you think he succeeds at Kentucky in the broad sense, Yeah,

158
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 2: I absolutely believe that. Do you think he makes a

159
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 2: Final four at Kentucky? I absolutely do.

160
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 4: I think the way the game has gone, you're getting

161
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 4: a little more of the transfert transfer players a little

162
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 4: bit older. I think he's putting the right system in

163
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,559
Speaker 4: place and winning college basketball moving forward.

164
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 2: Do you think he wins a national championship at Kentucky

165
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: that one? You gotta have a little bit of luck,

166
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 2: you know. I wouldn't. I wouldn't.

167
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 4: I'm not necessarily predicting it's gonna happen, but I think

168
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 4: today will be in the conversation more than once and

169
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 4: we'll have a shot at it. So I'll lean yes.

170
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 4: But I mean it is a hard thing, hard, hard

171
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 4: thing to ask for someone.

172
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 2: Do you think when he leaves here? If I were

173
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 2: to give you the coaches of Patina, cal Tubby, Billy

174
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 2: joe By, let's leave her up out of the conversation.

175
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 2: That group, that's five coaches. If we were to rank

176
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 2: them right now, by the way, how would we rank

177
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 2: them in terms of career? That's that's actually a good

178
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 2: Billy's last Okay, So let's assume Billy's last, probably Eddie's

179
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 2: next to last. So let's take Rick, Cal, job and

180
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 2: uh Tubby rank them before before I put where we're

181
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 2: gonna put Pope in. What ranked those right now? Ryan?

182
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 3: If I had to rank them right now looking at

183
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 3: their career, I hate to say this. I'm gonna have

184
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 3: to say Patino one, Cal two. I gotta go Tubby three,

185
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 3: Joby four.

186
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 2: Okay, so you're going Patino, Cal, Tubby, Joe By, Shannon,

187
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: how are you raking?

188
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 6: I think that's the list. I think Patino's won.

189
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 5: I only put because he well, part of it was

190
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 5: because he wasn't here long enough to fill you know,

191
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 5: like Caliperri was here so long. If we just took

192
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 5: the first half of his time, A Kentucky cow would

193
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 5: absolutely agree number one. But the nine and sixteen season

194
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 5: you have the factor that is and losing in the

195
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 5: first round that never happened when Patino was here. So

196
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 5: because of that, and they both have one national title,

197
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 5: I'm going Patino number one, Cal number two, number three.

198
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, what about you? I think Shannon makes a

199
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 2: good point.

200
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 4: I've I've struggled with the Cal verse Patino exercise plenty

201
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 4: of times. But I think Cal's ending gives Patino the nod.

202
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 4: I mean they both took the program from a pretty

203
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 4: bad place and turned it around very quickly and won

204
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 4: a title. Like Shannon said, if Patino had stayed a

205
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 4: little longer and maybe had hopefully not a nine win season,

206
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 4: but it's, you know, a dip like Cal did, I

207
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 4: think it could be different, But I'm going Patino because

208
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 4: it was mostly successful the whole time.

209
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 2: So Patino's here ninety to ninety seven, so he's here

210
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 2: eight years, right, Cal is here twenty ten to basically

211
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 2: twenty four, he's he's here fifteen years, all right, So

212
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 2: you're basically talking about half Patino's here half. If I'm

213
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 2: gonna make the case for both, and then I'll say

214
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 2: which one. I think the case for Cal is his

215
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 2: first eight years or his twenty ten to twenty seventeen.

216
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 2: Outside of RUP in like forty eight, forty nine fifty one,

217
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 2: which is a different era, it's the most successful run

218
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 2: in Kentucky history. I mean they made final fours in

219
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 2: twenty ten, fourteen, fifteen, and eleven, so four out of

220
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 2: four out of six years, actually, excuse me, yeah, four

221
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 2: out of sixty did make it in twenty ten. Four

222
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 2: out of five years, four out of six years, they

223
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 2: were a contender, run every year except when Noel got hurt.

224
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 2: Except when Noel got hurt. They made all those final fours.

225
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 2: They won a ton of games, and we were the

226
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 2: coolest program.

227
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 6: For Rick.

228
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 2: You'd go, okay, yeah, that's good, But ninety two to

229
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 2: ninety eight was pretty awesome as well. Right you went

230
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 2: to you were dominant, ninety three, maybe the best team,

231
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 2: the only team that could beat you, beat you. You

232
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 2: win it in ninety six, you go to the finals

233
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 2: in ninety seven, You set up a great roster in

234
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 2: ninety eight, and in ninety five were in the Elite eight.

235
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 2: The reason I put Rick ahead of Cal, part of

236
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 2: it is the ending of Cal, But for me more

237
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 2: it's what Rick had to build it from because he

238
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,599
Speaker 2: didn't have the ability to go get Wall Cousins and

239
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 2: those guys, because you didn't have the one and done

240
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 2: air right, so you weren't able to go get that.

241
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 2: And as low as we were with Billy, we were

242
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 2: much lower when Rick came here. Scholarship restrictions, playing with

243
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 2: you know, basically a group of guys from Kentucky, I

244
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,599
Speaker 2: mean that think about his first team best player was

245
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 2: Dereck Miller, Right, So I think what Rick had to

246
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 2: build it from is why you put him number one.

247
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 2: But I actually think Ryan, they're really really close. It

248
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 2: is close.

249
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 3: Pre Covid there, it's pre Covid, it's Cow, it's Cal.

250
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 3: But you get you have to add what has happened

251
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 3: the last couple of years. You have to think, all right.

252
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 2: So now let's let's put Pope in there, Shannon when

253
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 2: his career is over in that ranking of Rick. Uh Now,

254
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 2: remember all four of those guys won national championship, so

255
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 2: all four of them more successful. But Rick, Cal, Tubby,

256
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 2: Joe b Where will Mark Pope be at the end

257
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 2: of his career?

258
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 5: Man, that's a great question, because you gotta win a

259
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 5: national title to jump over any of those guys.

260
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 6: And I think that Pope can make a final four.

261
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 6: I agree with Drew.

262
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 5: I'm not willing to say that he's gonna win a

263
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 5: national title here.

264
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 2: So you're gonna put him fit, I'm gonna put him fifth,

265
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 2: all right, what about you? Right?

266
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 3: I kind of think of Tubby and Joby about the

267
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 3: same kind of way we look at Cal and Patino

268
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 3: about the same, and I think Pope is right in there,

269
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 3: though he's gonna ride be riding that Tubby joby era,

270
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 3: and I view Pope a lot like Tubby. I think

271
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 3: he won't have a team like full of superstars like

272
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 3: Cal had, or a team like that ninety six team.

273
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 3: He's gonna have teams like Tubby had with Chuck Hayes

274
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 3: in that group. They're just a really good college basketball team.

275
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna put him up.

276
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put him with tied with Tubby for third. Wow, third,

277
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 2: it was a cheating Tied for third. It's kind of

278
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 2: a cop out. Is a cop out answer, he can't

279
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 2: do it? What about you? I'm going fifth.

280
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 4: But it's a little unfair because so much has changed,

281
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 4: so those guys, some of those years, the SEC was awful.

282
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 4: You know Pope's going It's a loaded confer college basketball

283
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 4: across the board. Teams are better. I think it's gonna

284
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,599
Speaker 4: be hard for any school anywhere to do kind of

285
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 4: the run Cow had and the run Patino had, because

286
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 4: I just think we're gonna have there's gonna be so

287
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 4: ebbs and flows, and I don't see any team really

288
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 4: putting together at Dynasty. So I think it's hard to

289
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 4: ask for him to do that, which would be hard

290
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 4: to put him above. Yeah, but it's a good fifth,

291
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 4: it's a great fifth.

292
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 5: Can I just add that I don't what it's saying

293
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 5: that putting him at fifth, I don't think. I'm not

294
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 5: saying that he's not gonna have successful.

295
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 2: No paots, give your opinion, no caveats. Clearly you could.

296
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 2: You could be in fifth and still win a national title. Honestly,

297
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 2: with that group, I'm most slotting fourth. I'm gonna put

298
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 2: him after Tubby, ahead of cow. Here's what I think

299
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 2: is gonna be his challenge. I wonder I am still

300
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 2: a little concerned about recruiting because I still believe you've

301
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 2: got to go. You can get a superstar from the

302
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 2: transfer portal. You can get it, but like you gotta

303
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 2: have one or two, right, you gotta have one or two.

304
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 2: And I need to see him go get those guys. Okay,

305
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 2: I need to see him go get him. I'm not

306
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 2: saying he can't. But besides, I mean, his highest rate

307
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 2: recruit of his life is Colin Chandler. That's here right now.

308
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 2: I think that's important to remember. So I need to

309
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 2: go see him do that. But with that said, I'm

310
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 2: with you Ryan that, like Tubby, I think he'll take

311
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 2: a team like that. Maybe one of my favorite teams

312
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 2: I don't know about you all, is the two thousand

313
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 2: and three Kentucky Tea. Yeah. I know they lost to

314
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 2: Marquett and Dwayne Wade, but I love that team. Eric

315
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 2: Chuck Hayes, Eric Daniels, Fitch, Hawkins, Bogans, I love that team.

316
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 2: I think Ryan, we will see the best of Pope's

317
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 2: teams will look like that team.

318
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 3: Just like you said, I think that's dead all what

319
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 3: we're looking at. So maybe you know now that coach

320
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 3: Brooks and Coach Hardner here who really good recruiters, Maybe

321
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 3: that I gotta see it.

322
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 2: You gotta see it. You gotta see it though, because

323
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 2: to be honest, if we're being honest, he didn't get

324
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 2: the stud in the portal and we're not really leading

325
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 2: with one yet in recruiting. So I need to see

326
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 2: him go get one. Huh. I don't think you have

327
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 2: to get a top five guy, but I do think

328
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 2: you have to get top fifteen guys, and I just

329
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 2: need to go see him do it. Two, we need

330
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 2: to go break a five nine two eighth, twenty two

331
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 2: eighty seven. We're gonna take a break. We'll be right

332
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:32,320

341
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 2: uh not bad. I bet you were happy sitting on

342
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 2: your back porch, drinking wine and enjoying yourself. We are

343
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,119
Speaker 2: here a day vision glass. Absolutely awesome crowd give Hopkinsville,

344
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 2: give yourselves a rout of applause. This is the first

345
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 2: one of these we've done in in like three months.

346
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 2: And great crowd. We always get a great crowd here.

347
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think we've been here that at the

348
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 2: old Holiday Inn, right wasn't there? Wasn't there an old

349
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 2: Holiday Inn and a different part of town. We we

350
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 2: we did it there one time. I remember, I had

351
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 2: a great crowd. The big Sports complex we did one.

352
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 2: We did want sports complex, so so very nice. Appreciate

353
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 2: all of you coming out on the text machine. One

354
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 2: person rights, Matt, I thought after your vacation that you

355
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: would stop being negative about basketball, but I guess I'm

356
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 2: wrong positive. I literally just said that he would be

357
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 2: the fourth best coach of all time in front of

358
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 2: a person who won a national championship, which implies he

359
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 2: will probably win a national championship. And Shannon, that is

360
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 2: still not positive enough for people who, I guess want

361
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 2: you to say that coach that has only won one

362
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 2: NCAA tournament game ever will be the greatest coach in

363
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 2: the history of college basketball. And if you don't say that,

364
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 2: that's not you're so negative man.

365
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 5: I mean, you off five national titles once again, you

366
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 5: raked him below me, and they're talking about me and

367
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 5: not you. Shit, I think they expect it from me,

368
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 5: they get it from you. They want you to, you know,

369
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 5: hype it up a little bit.

370
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 2: Let me let me as I said, I'm gonna keep

371
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 2: a lot of my conversation with Mark private and because

372
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 2: I think some of it he wants to talk about here.

373
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 2: But I think he'd be fine with me saying this,

374
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 2: because this was an interesting exchange with him my head.

375
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 2: One of things I said to him was I was like, look,

376
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 2: I want you to understand I don't know what you've

377
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 2: heard about us and and blah blah and negativity. And

378
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 2: he actually cut me off, which is hard to do,

379
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 2: as you know, I don't. It's hard to cut me off.

380
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 2: Appreciate your talking. He kind of said, I appreciate your

381
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 2: your monologue. He cut me off and he said, listen this,

382
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 2: and this almost a direct quote. He said, what makes

383
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 2: Kentucky basketball Kentucky basketball is the expectation. He said, I

384
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 2: want the fans in the arena to expect us to

385
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 2: win every game. And he said, I want you to

386
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 2: rip me if you think I deserve to be ripped.

387
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 2: He said, I want you to rip me because that

388
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 2: ripping is what makes this Kentucky. And I was like, well,

389
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna rip you. I was like, I haven't

390
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 2: ripped anybody. He said, do it. He wants to be ripped. No,

391
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 2: he said, if I deserve it, do it, he goes,

392
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 2: because the day you stop doing it is the day

393
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 2: that's in Kentucky anymore.

394
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 6: I agree with that.

395
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 2: He gets it. Yeah, and it was interesting. I said, look, dude,

396
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 2: I'm I'm not. I want you to succeed, which is true.

397
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 2: The difference between KSR and some media outlets, not in

398
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 2: Kentucky but in other places is we want them to succeed.

399
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 2: We just did our annual revenue for the bars in

400
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 2: Oakland did not make last year a profitable year. I

401
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 2: need them to succeed. But he was adamant. He said,

402
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 2: I want the expectation. He said, I want to win

403
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 2: every game, and I don't want people to expect mediocrity.

404
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 2: This is Kentucky. So if he's like that, then I

405
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 2: think we as fans need to be like that. And

406
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 2: I don't think he's scared about it. That's one of

407
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 2: the things I've always liked about Mark Stoops. Mark Stoops

408
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 2: will tell me if I deserve to be ripped, rip me. Now.

409
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 2: He doesn't love it, but he understands like that comes

410
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 2: with it, and it looks like Mark Pope does as well.

411
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 3: I love that he said that to you to me,

412
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 3: I want my coach to hurt when we lose. I

413
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 3: want my coach to be excited when we win. I

414
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 3: don't want my coach to say, well, I get to

415
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 3: go home and spend time with my dog after they

416
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 3: lose an important game.

417
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 2: I want him to hurt like we hurt. I mean

418
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 2: his exact word was rip me, and like I almost

419
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 2: got defensive, shann I was like, I'm not gonna not

420
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 2: gonna rip.

421
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 6: When have you ever had a coach say that to

422
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 6: you ever? Ever?

423
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 2: Yeah? I never? I mean, to be fair, I haven't

424
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 2: dealt with that many coaches because we've been had these

425
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 2: long run.

426
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 5: We just went from one that was, you know, super sensitive,

427
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,719
Speaker 5: that type of thing, to now, I go, I who

428
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 5: was asking you to rip him?

429
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 2: It's interesting because like on a personal level, Drew, I

430
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 2: don't think I would have been as defense of as Cow,

431
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 2: but I probably more lean towards cal like I don't

432
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 2: Shannon loves to be criticized. I don't really if I'm

433
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 2: being honest, I mean, I'm better about it than I

434
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 2: used to be, but I don't love it. But it

435
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 2: seemed to me like Mark Pope is walking in here

436
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 2: with like he is like be Kentucky fans, That's what

437
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 2: I'm coming for. Be wild, that's what I want. And

438
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 2: if that includes criticizing me, I'm good with.

439
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 4: He's shown many times he's one of us, and this

440
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 4: is what I was gonna add earlier, if it works

441
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 4: with Mark Pope, it will be better than it will

442
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 4: have been with anyone. I guess he was a player.

443
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 4: We already adorn him before he's even coached the game.

444
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 4: So if it does pan out, that'll be a ceiling

445
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 4: and something we wouldn't have had with anyone else. Even

446
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 4: the guys that they were talking he could, they have

447
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,719
Speaker 4: gotten hurly. Nobody could do what Pope can do if

448
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 4: it works out, because we'll enjoy it so much more

449
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 4: going on the ride with him because he's one of us.

450
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 4: He's more than one of us because he played for

451
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 4: the team and won a title.

452
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 2: Were any of you all at the press conference in

453
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 2: Lexington you were, then you can I'm sure you would

454
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 2: agree with this. I'm not just saying this. I can't.

455
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,719
Speaker 2: I don't know how many sports experiences at Kentucky I've

456
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 2: had that felt like that. Now, obviously there were things

457
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 2: that are more exciting, like winning a championship, but it

458
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 2: was almost People would mock this if they weren't Kentucky fans,

459
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 2: but you all are all Kentucky fans. It was like

460
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 2: a church. It was it was like you were at church.

461
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 2: Am I wrong. You were there, like it was like

462
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 2: I was there. It was like a It was almost

463
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 2: like when you were a kid, like I got saved

464
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 2: as a Christian at a revival. I didn't go there

465
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 2: expecting to do it right, like I got caught up

466
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,959
Speaker 2: in it and I just kind of walked in and

467
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 2: I'm and like, that was my moment for Kentucky basketball.

468
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 2: It felt like a revival. It felt like and again,

469
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 2: who knows, maybe it won't even work, but Ryan, that

470
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 2: feeling is kind of why Drew's right. If it works,

471
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 2: it will feel a different way than when it's worked

472
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 2: in the past, and then well, you're right.

473
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 3: There was something special about that event where we felt

474
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 3: like I think the fans felt like, Okay, we got

475
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:16,479
Speaker 3: our program back.

476
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 2: Here are people crying, you know, people crying everywhere. Like

477
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 2: I don't think unless you were there. I don't think

478
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 2: unless you were there, people can realize what that building

479
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 2: I'm felt like. And so if he's able to win

480
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 2: and that feeling a companies winning a title, then I

481
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 2: think that'll be the kind of feeling that like you

482
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 2: just don't get a lot and now we got to

483
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 2: see if he does all right A five nine two

484
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 2: eight oh, twenty two eighty seven, going to talk some football.

485
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 2: It's like he had a huge day at the Olympics yesterday.

486
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 2: Be right back. This is KSR, where Amack take you

Speaker 2: glass was cracked. A Vision Glass gives service to all

493

494
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 2: new one here in Hopkinsville once again. Awesome to see

495
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 2: such a great crowd here on this day. One person writes, Matt,

496
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 2: while you were gone, I know you're a control freak.

497
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 2: Thanks a lot, I love you. But yeah, but were

498
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 2: you Did you have full confidence? If you're being honest

499
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 2: in the guys, No, but I was very I'm kidd

500
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 2: I'm kidding. I was much less nervous this time than

501
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 2: I was like six years ago or whatever. I think

502
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 2: we created the perfect schedule. You know, I went away

503
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 2: one time and we had all guest hosts. I think

504
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 2: that got away from the rhythm a little bit of

505
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 2: what we do. And then I think having Myron one

506
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 2: day and Tom one day and then you guys and

507
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 2: you all rotating each other out right, I think I

508
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 2: think it went about as well as it could.

509
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 3: The addition of Myron on Monday and Tom on Wednesday

510
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 3: helped the summer get along.

511
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 2: And those guys were great. I mean, they really killed it.

512
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 2: They did a great jobs and you all, like everybody

513
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 2: loves you, right, so it was good it you all.

514
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 2: They they held the ratings closer than we've ever done before.

515
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 2: So to me, that's a success. And I think it

516
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 2: also showcases you know, Ryan, Ryan has always been a

517
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:32,360
Speaker 2: radio pro, but like I'll say, a nice thing Drew

518
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 2: has gotten. I think Drew's a pro Shannon nice like Shannon.

519
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 2: You know, we know more about Shannon's personality every year.

520
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 2: Billy continues to get better. It's been putting Mario in.

521
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 2: So I think it was I think it went really well.

522
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 2: Did you all enjoy it? Thank you very much. We

523
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 2: had a lot of fun.

524
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 4: I actually enjoyed because I don't usually drive the show

525
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 4: much and I got to do that more than I've

526
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 4: ever done. Had fun doing that. Like media day, Ryan

527
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 4: had something come up, couldn't make it, but we just

528
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 4: kept on rolling.

529
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 5: Ryan actually had to do show prep for the first

530
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 5: time in show history, which was it intersting.

531
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 6: But you did a great job man.

532
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 2: So yes, the answer that question is is yes, eight, five, nine, two,

533
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 2: eight oh, twenty two eighty seven. Who's up first? Rick?

534
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 2: Got Ethan? Up first? Ethan? Go ahead? Ethan? Hey, hey all,

535
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 2: don doing good.

536
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 8: So on the basketball projections, I don't really know how

537
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 8: to think about the season coming up. So I asked

538
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 8: chat GBT and they said twelve losses with going.

539
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 2: Nice Yes, chat GPT, So they have us going nineteen

540
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 2: and twelve. Yes, boo ayill right, they don't know anything.

541
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 2: I hate that, all right, So twelve losses, what do

542
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 2: you what's your football record?

543
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,360
Speaker 8: Well, this is the one you're gonna love. Then ten

544
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 8: and two?

545
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 2: Oh Chap GBT says ten and two and four?

546
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 8: No like that, absolutely not, that's me.

547
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 2: Oh that's you, okay, all right?

548
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 8: So you well that's that old mares and neither splitting

549
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 8: Texas and Tennessee. But I think we take one on Georgia.

550
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 2: You think we beat Georgia at home?

551
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 8: Well, you gotta think they've lost. How many years have

552
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 8: we been competitive with Georgia and then all of a

553
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 8: sudden number nineteen their tight end comes out of there

554
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 8: brock balers and just dominates the game. Well, last time

555
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 8: I take he's playing on Sundays.

556
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 2: Now he is all right, well, I like it. So

557
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 2: what's your question besides that? Well, so it.

558
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 8: Seems like in the past couple of years in football,

559
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 8: we get up two three touchdowns and then we just

560
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 8: start playing conservatives. Do you think we get away from that?

561
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 8: Because Missouri last year in.

562
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 2: Clinton's a great question. I don't know. I mean, I

563
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 2: appreciate the call. It like ultimately the conservative or not

564
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 2: Ryan is a Mark Stoopstick right, Like it's a Mark Stoopsteck.

565
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 2: I mean, those guys call the plays, but when Stoops

566
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 2: wants them to slow it down, that's his decision. He

567
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 2: can say all he wants. He's not gonna do that anymore.

568
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 2: I kind of feel like you got to show me that, Mark,

569
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 2: because we've seen ten years of his natural inclination is

570
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 2: to slow it down. So I hope we don't, but

571
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 2: I think people should remember while that cost us against Missouri,

572
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 2: we've won a lot of games doing that. Where he

573
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 2: sort of deflates the ball and we run out the clock.

574
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 3: I have a hard time believing he's gonna change, because

575
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 3: it is he liked that grounded and pounded, moved the

576
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 3: chains and run the clock. That's just his philosophy, and

577
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 3: it's gonna be really hard for him. For me, I

578
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 3: think he's gonna change.

579
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 2: By the way, Drew just put into chat GPT, what

580
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 2: are we doing in football? So robots?

581
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 4: They say to narrow it down to specific prediction. They're

582
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 4: going eight and four, but facing losses against Georgia Alabama,

583
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 4: don't play.

584
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 2: Them Tennessee Alabama. Maybe they met Texas there. They're still

585
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 2: figuring out the sec AI. It's not perfect, and they

586
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 2: still have us playing games we're not playing.

587
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 4: Then what about where I showed you the other day,

588
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 4: write an episode of KSR and it's like, Matt Jones,

589
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 4: welcome to Jacky Sports Radio Rights.

590
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 2: You all talk about that on the air. We did

591
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 2: so right. So I was with Drew and Drew said

592
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 2: watch this and he put in the computer ride an

593
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 2: episode of ks R, and it was like scary how

594
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 2: it sounded with us. I mean, they had my intro

595
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 2: like they did the whole intro a vision glass text machine.

596
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 2: They had the number. Oh my, remember we've never written

597
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 2: that out. Like that's like these things are going to

598
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 2: take over the world. And I don't know if everybody's

599
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 2: as scared about it as I am, but like that

600
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 2: was crazy because it's there's never been a transcript. I

601
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 2: think of our show and it like had my entire intro.

602
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 2: It had me throwing to Ryan. When I throw to Ryan,

603
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 2: it was kind of scared. How I don't know how

604
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 2: they make.

605
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 5: You know, we're just up here and winging it. We

606
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 5: could just read off a script.

607
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 2: So we had this podcast seminar while we uh last

608
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 2: this week and advertising. This guy got up from the

609
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 2: National iHeart and he goes, you know, we have this

610
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 2: new thing now where we're going to start translating shows

611
00:28:55,720 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 2: into other languages through AI and I and so basically

612
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 2: he was like, you know, we can translate KSR into

613
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 2: Spanish with AI voices that are modeled to sound like US,

614
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 2: so you could hear like Spanish Southern accents trying to speak.

615
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 2: I think Mateo Jones overmuch. I guess Matao Jones.

616
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 9: Uh.

617
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 2: That kind of blows my mind. Who's up next? Got

618
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 2: Allen up next, Alan, go ahead, Allen.

619
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 7: Hey, guys, first time caller, long time listener.

620
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 2: Who are what's up? All right?

621
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 7: Hey, my I got a theory on why Mark Pope's

622
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 7: gonna be so successful with Kentucky. You want to hear

623
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 7: what you guys think about it. Last year he was

624
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 7: in the Big Twelve, which was between them and the SEC.

625
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 7: They were the two best basketball conferences in the country.

626
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 7: He wins twenty four games with the BYU roster, which

627
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 7: I understand BYU had a pretty good roster last year,

628
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 7: but I think Kentucky with him at Kentucky, he will

629
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 7: always have a better roster than he had last year

630
00:29:58,720 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 7: at BYU.

631
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 2: Listen, I agree. I think the X and o's I

632
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 2: appreciate the call. I'd be shocked at the X and

633
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 2: o's with of Pope don't work. I'd be shocked. The

634
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 2: question for me is gonna be the players. But like

635
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 2: the good thing, this is why this year is important.

636
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 2: If we're good this year, he'll go get players. Like

637
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 2: if we're good this year and NBA guys see, hey,

638
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 2: you can still make it from the league, then we'll

639
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 2: go get players. Ryan. So that's that's why we need

640
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 2: to be We need to be good this year, just

641
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 2: like Cal's first year was a job wall year, and

642
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 2: that's set up the next eight years. We need to

643
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 2: be good this year. Need to be good this year.

644
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 3: And I think players a lot of guys may wait

645
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 3: just to kind of sit on the fence if they're

646
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 3: just considering Kentucky. Let's wait and see what that system's like,

647
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 3: how it works. And I'm am I gonna fit in

648
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 3: the way he likes to play.

649
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I do think it'll happen. So we're here

650
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 2: in Hopkinsville, you know, Owensboro's western Kentucky. Did you see

651
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 2: this story Shannon about the surgeon in Owensboro that's been suspended? No, no,

652
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 2: what happened? Again? Let me be cause people on owens Brough,

653
00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 2: I'm sure know more about this than I do. So

654
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 2: I don't. I know nothing more than what I read

655
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 2: in this newspaper article. So if there's more to it,

656
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 2: tell me on the text machine seven seven two four

657
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 2: five two five for it. But there's this. This story

658
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 2: says this surgeon was operating on a guy and I

659
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 2: guess he had like a tube or something that I

660
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 2: don't know was in some part of the guy. And

661
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 2: I don't know like the medical details. There was like

662
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 2: a tube somewhere and then whatever. But he, according to

663
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 2: the article, the guy was having a hard time the doctor,

664
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 2: the surgeon getting the tube out of the guy. Now

665
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 2: the guy is like out, you know, he's having a

666
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,479
Speaker 2: hard time getting the tube out of the guy. And

667
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 2: it was frustrating, according to the witnesses. And so I

668
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 2: guess he kept pulling and like he kept pulling and

669
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 2: trying to get it out, and he couldn't get it out.

670
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 2: And when he he was so frustrated about it that

671
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 2: he slapped the patient as if it was the patient's fall.

672
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 2: And he like, I don't know if it was hard.

673
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 2: It wasn't that hard, but he like went and then

674
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 2: he got it out, and he like made some joke

675
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 2: like that's how it took, you know. And I guess

676
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 2: he thought it was funny. And now he's gonna lose

677
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 2: his license for five years. According to the uh Kentucky

678
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 2: Medical thing.

679
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 6: You can't be smacking patients. I think I think that's

680
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 6: safe to say.

681
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 2: I think he thought it was like a playful smack, like, oh,

682
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 2: get this thing out of your body, dude, loosen up.

683
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 5: Well, clearly it worked though, right, I mean maybe that

684
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 5: goes on more than what we realized.

685
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 2: You think that's what did it.

686
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 6: I mean, if it came out, that's what it takes.

687
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 3: And what if you're the patient. You wake up and

688
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 3: he said, yeah, the doctor had to smack you to

689
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 3: get this.

690
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 2: Clearly the patient knows. Now, yeah, because it's in the

691
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 2: at least in the newspaper. I like shinning thinking that's

692
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 2: what worked. It's like that thing. It's like you causation correlation.

693
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 2: You're not worried about it.

694
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 5: Sometimes it gets duck. You's got to kick it, smack it,

695
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 5: whatever you're gonna do to make it work. Your TV

696
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 5: doesn't work. But back in the day, you do you

697
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 5: smack the tallionnail.

698
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 2: Sudden it come on. Well, the doctor says he didn't

699
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 2: do it, but there are witnesses that say he did.

700
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 2: So I guess they believe drew the witnesses. And so

701
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 2: now the surgeon's create is no longer going to be

702
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:13,479
Speaker 2: a surgeon.

703
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 4: It's like, uh, yeah, we fixed everything inside. Your jaws

704
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 4: a little broken, don't ask about that. Apologies, we'll fix that.

705
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 2: I know the surgery went a little weird. I know

706
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 2: it was on your stomach, but like sorry, just had

707
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 2: to smack you right in the face. A new report

708

735
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 10: been smacked while having surgery. What I'm gonna have to

736
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,280
Speaker 10: throw the challenge, FLA, that's a lot of people being smacked.

737
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 10: Let me read this one. You tell me if you

738
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 10: believe it or not.

739
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 2: When I had surgery from my shoulder in high school,

740
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 2: I woke up and one of the nurses was smacking

741
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 2: me in the face pretty good. I didn't pass back out,

742
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 2: and when I woke up again, I remembered it and

743
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 2: I said, yes, I remember being smacked. The nurse quickly

744
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 2: went out of the room and came back with a

745
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 2: couple others and started apologizing and saying they didn't think

746
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 2: anyone would remember. It also happened in Owensboro, so as

747
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 2: Owen's brother like get surgery, get smacked, Capital of the country,

748
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 2: I thought one was crazy. You've already gotten all these replies.

749
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 5: I was trying to say, I think that happens, you know,

750
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 5: especially when you're out.

751
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 6: You gotta wake somebody up.

752
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 2: What do you do? So you think doctors like it's

753
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 2: just like a thing that doctors do. They just kind

754
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 2: of smack you in the face and nobody talks about it.

755
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 2: Really it works interesting.

756
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 3: I can I can almost give the nurse a little

757
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 3: bit of a pass. They're trying to wake you up

758
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 3: from r anesthesia. I can't give the doctor a pass

759
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 3: for smacking him trying.

760
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 2: So you give the nurse a pass for a smack

761
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 2: a little.

762
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 3: Because you know, like if somebody passes out, if somebody

763
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 3: passed out here, we might go up to him.

764
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 2: Like, no, we wouldn't smack him in the face.

765
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 6: Is Mack Ryan when he's snoring?

766
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 2: Listen? You know, I please don't do that to me,

767
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 2: Like I don't want to be smacked you. I mean,

768
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 2: I feel like there's there's other ways to wake somebody

769
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 2: up and just smacking them across the face. Yeah, it

770
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,879
Speaker 2: seems like it happens, So I can give the nurse

771
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,760
Speaker 2: a little bit of it happened at least once twice

772
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 2: in Owensborough. Very cool here, got a couple of my

773
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:29,359
Speaker 2: uh friend's mother's here, Turkey Hunter's Mom's there, the uh

774
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,399
Speaker 2: Carrie and Johnny's mom back there. Very neat to look

775
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 2: up and see. Uh even though their kids, well Carrie's

776
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 2: still here, but even though their kids are gone, they

777
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 2: still come and see us. Yeah. That nice.

778
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 4: You mentioned this, but you have so many connections to

779
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 4: this town, been from the other side of the state,

780
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 4: so I'm not surprised they all turned up to say hi,

781
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 4: thank you.

782
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 2: Good to see both of y'all. Got the mayor here

783
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 2: as well. Uh, so it's nice to have everybody here. Eight.

784
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 2: I'm nine to twenty two eighty seven, Chee Chee Rodriguez

785
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 2: died and uh that makes me sad because when I

786
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 2: was you know, I don't know the Senior Tour golf.

787
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 2: I don't know if people still watch it, Like I

788
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 2: don't even know who's on it anymore. But when I

789
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 2: was a kid, the Senior Tour was kind of a

790
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 2: big thing. Ryan right, like, people watched it. Nicholas was

791
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 2: on it, and Palmer and Chi Chee. Again, A lot

792
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 2: of people may be too young to remember this, but

793
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,479
Speaker 2: he would make a putt and then he would act

794
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 2: like his putter was like a you know, a sword. Yeah,

795
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 2: and he would go and then he would like take

796
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 2: it and he would host it like that. And so

797
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 2: you know, young Matt Jones at eight years old, if

798
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,439
Speaker 2: I didn't pick it up and like three or four

799
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,720
Speaker 2: at three or four feet would start his sword fighting

800
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 2: and I'd try to be Chi Chi Rodriguez. So he

801
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 2: died at eighty eight years old.

802
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 3: That made me sayd he was really like the first

803
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:48,760
Speaker 3: personality that I remember from golf.

804
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 2: Huge person huge.

805
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 3: Personality, you know, And you're right. It was all because

806
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 3: of him doing the Zoro sword after something.

807
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 2: And he seemed even though he was like fifty five

808
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 2: or I'm fifty six years old, he's just seemed cool.

809
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 2: Like he just seemed like a dude with swag. That

810
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 2: picture Shannon I showed you he's at the Masters and

811
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 2: he looks like a million bucks. Like being in Europe,

812
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 2: I'll tell you Spanish people are insanely good looking, male

813
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 2: or female, Like they all are like like, that's like

814
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 2: the best looking people. And he just looks cool. And

815
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 2: then his caddy, Shannon is like six foot six, black

816
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 2: guy with an afro that has his Master's hat on

817
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 2: top of his afro, And I'm like, that might be

818
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,439
Speaker 2: the swaggiest picture I've ever seen in my lot.

819
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 5: I saw that picture and I was thinking, those are

820
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 5: the guys you want to go out club.

821
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 6: Back in the seventies, ye.

822
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 2: We had to show up at the Masters with that,

823
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 2: like Drew, that was a look I was like in

824
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 2: the seventies sometimes, Yeah.

825
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 4: Back then it was hard to find any personality in golf.

826
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 4: You know, it's hard to show any in golf. That

827
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 4: guy had a lot of character. He Chichi also had

828
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 4: a little swag to him. He could wear some flashy

829
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 4: clothes out there. When else Yeah, RF when I was

830
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 4: a kid, love Cheechie Rodriguez. Hadn't thought about him in

831
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 4: a long time. Rest in peace to him. Who's up next?

832
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 2: God? Just it up next? Justin, go ahead, justin Yes.

833
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 9: I think football will most likely go eight and four,

834
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 9: did it? I think that if we do get a

835
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 9: ninth win, it's gonna come with Old Miss because they

836
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 9: don't have a defense. If our defenses is if our

837
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 9: offense is clicking like they're saying, we should be able

838
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 9: to outshoot them, hopefully.

839
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 2: Record how many losses in basketball.

840
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 9: I think we'll end up with fourteen or fifteen losses

841
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 9: in basketball.

842
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 2: Who but I need to see what we're gonna get team.

843
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 2: I mean, that's like that we don't make the tournament.

844
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 2: You think you think we're gonna miss the tournament.

845
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 9: I think we're gonna miss. But I think we're gonna

846
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 9: have some losses against big teams that we need, like

847
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 9: like Duke.

848
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 2: We need. I don't like that. All right, Well, what's

849
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 2: your other thing then? Since you're such a bummer, go ahead.

850
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 9: My other thing is we're eleven years going on twelve years,

851
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 9: I think without a championship. Now, how many years do

852
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,720
Speaker 9: we go without a championship before we've become the next

853
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 9: Indiana Basketball?

854
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got you gotta stop with you. Indiana's not

855
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 2: one anything since what eighty seven? That's different. I mean

856
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 2: that's different has been Indiana's don't yet. But an Indian

857
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 2: has not been to a Final four since two thousand

858
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 2: and one. They've only had like one good year in

859
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 2: the last fifteen years, that Oladipot year. The Indiana stuff,

860
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 2: like we've we matter, okay, even when we've lost in

861
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 2: these first rounds, we've been like a two seed or

862
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 2: a three seed. We are a long way from Indiana.

863
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,720
Speaker 9: Well, well, the things that we've got to do something

864
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:38,760
Speaker 9: within the first five.

865
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:43,240
Speaker 2: Years, Yeah, within five years. I appreciate the call. Pope

866
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:44,879
Speaker 2: needs to be good. I mean, if he's not good

867
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 2: for five years, he won't be the coach here anymore.

868
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 2: But you think they you think this crowd comes out

869
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 2: to a show in Indiana. No, I mean I remember

870
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:57,879
Speaker 2: Ryan that one time we stopped at a pizza place

871
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 2: in Indiana and Indiana was playing like me, and it

872
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 2: wasn't even on the TVs. And I said, I mean,

873
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 2: the game's not even on here. They were showing a

874
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 2: different basketball game, And I was like, I don't care

875
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,760
Speaker 2: what those Hoosier fans say. That's not Kentucky.

876
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 3: We have done shows in Indiana that have crowds as

877
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 3: big as this.

878
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,959
Speaker 2: In Indiana, we would get take the biggest Indiana show.

879
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 2: We could go to Bloomington and get a bigger crowd

880
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 2: than they do in their town. So Kentucky is not Drew.

881
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 2: We need to be better than we've been the last

882
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 2: few years. But I don't think we're in danger of

883
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 2: being anywhere close to India.

884
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 4: They've been irrelevant for a very long time, and we're

885
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 4: in a bit of a drought here. Also, that's not

886
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 4: Pope's problem, it's post problem. That's not his faults. So

887
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 4: I don't think we're anywhere in that conversation.

888
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:47,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, the reality is Yukon's been better than us,

889
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 2: Kansas has been better than us. But it's not like,

890
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 2: you know, to use a phrase, it's not like we

891
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 2: just fell off the turnip truck. Like we're still We're

892
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 2: still around and kicking. We're gonna take a break and

893
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 2: be right back here on Sequoia Drive and Hopkinsville, NY

894
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,399
