Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, don't get used to it,
Speaker 2: but but I I it was good. It's nice to

Speaker 2: come up with a bracket that we will not finish
Speaker 2: at some point and uh yeah, we'll we'll go from there.
Speaker 2: But I I have enjoyed it. Nice to hear people.
Speaker 2: First day, it calls little shaky, but then it got
Speaker 2: a little better as we went on. The first day
Speaker 2: was just older guys tell me about the young women
Speaker 2: they date. But then it got a little It got
Speaker 2: a little better after that.
Speaker 4: You know, me, I prefer the chaos. So yesterday, when
Speaker 4: stuff's not working and you're taking Bob and Jamestown calls
Speaker 4: in the first segment, that surprised even me. Yeah, that's
Speaker 4: that's my kind of show. So I'm looking forward to
Speaker 4: summer content, all.
Speaker 2: Right, So I have something there. We're gonna talk UK
Speaker 2: sports obviously, and getting a big sports weekend coming up.
Speaker 2: My Canes made the Eastern Conference final, even the Reds
Speaker 2: won man with the red we even won a game finally,
Speaker 2: But that's not what I want to talk about, all right.
Speaker 2: So yesterday my car was out here in the parking
Speaker 2: lot and a guy came in and he said, Matt,
Speaker 2: I hate to tell you this, but you have a flat. Yes,
Speaker 2: And I thought he was lying, And then I went
Speaker 2: outside and I did have a flat, big, big, nail
Speaker 2: in the in my in my tire. Now. There are
Speaker 2: only two car dealerships that I mess with in Kentucky, Okay.
Speaker 2: One is, of course, Don Franklin, been a great advertiser.
Speaker 2: Loved them set twenty seven locations. You know, they treat
Speaker 2: you like family, right. The other is I have had
Speaker 2: at various points in my life for a long time.
Speaker 2: Alexis and the Lexington dealership has always been nice. And
Speaker 2: the thing that's the best about them is that if
Speaker 2: I have something, they'll come and fix it. Because this
Speaker 2: may surprise you, Shen, and I can't. I can't fix
Speaker 2: a tire, So I didn't know that. Yeah, well, I
Speaker 2: mean I know you would have thought I could, but
Speaker 2: I can't. So while we were doing the second hour,
Speaker 2: they came, got the car, brought me, you know, a
Speaker 2: loan for the day. Well, I had to go. I
Speaker 2: had to go to Louisville. I had to do a
Speaker 2: bunch of stuff, and so I still have it. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna give it back today. But last night I got
Speaker 2: back in town. It was a beautiful night, right. And
Speaker 2: sometimes I like to just drive around see Lexington, sure,
Speaker 2: listen to podcasts. I was out there in Paris Pike
Speaker 2: out on all the like horse Farm. Oh yeah, roads,
Speaker 2: beautiful roads they've given me. This is either a twenty
Speaker 2: four or twenty five. Now I have a question. Do
Speaker 2: any of you have a twenty four or twenty five car?
Speaker 2: Do any of you have it? I need to I
Speaker 2: almost planning on getting a car this summer or in
Speaker 2: the fall, Drew. These cars are starting to get sassy,
Speaker 2: all right, and I don't think I like it. These
Speaker 2: cars are starting to be like a girlfriend telling me
Speaker 2: how to drive. Okay, you get in this car, and now,
Speaker 2: I maybe this may be something you're used to. I'm not.
Speaker 2: The car will tell you to pay attention.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, if you start waking going no, I'm fine
Speaker 3: with that.
Speaker 2: If you the car will look at you and say,
Speaker 2: please face your eyes forward. Have you have you? If
Speaker 2: you all have a car like this, this Lexus out
Speaker 2: here will go driver in attention, beat, beat, beep, and
Speaker 2: it'll just say, please look forward. If you just look
Speaker 2: to the side, just to say, I don't know, just
Speaker 2: there are things over there you might want to see.
Speaker 2: Yet I have to look at a horse. It yells
Speaker 2: at you and it beeps at you, and I don't
Speaker 2: think you can turn it off. And as you may know,
Speaker 2: sometimes I look away. Occasionally you've ridden with me, the
Speaker 2: car just yells at you constantly and you can't turn
Speaker 2: it off. And is this what it's gonna be? Is
Speaker 2: the cars like get an attitude with us as the
Speaker 2: year's going. I didn't realize they were doing that. Now.
Speaker 4: I didn't know i'd gotten that fancy. My car is
Speaker 4: about to turn ten, so I'm just lucky to get
Speaker 4: my phone to play music through it. But I have
Speaker 4: seen some I've been driving them where, like a coffee
Speaker 4: couple pop up and I'll be like, do you need
Speaker 4: to pull over? Are you tired?
Speaker 2: I'm like, what do you know about me? You know me?
Speaker 2: Get it gets really sassy, it says one of them says,
Speaker 2: please look straight ahead. First of all, it's a little
Speaker 2: scary that it knows what I look. Yes, like it's
Speaker 2: because they were right at that moment. I was looking
Speaker 2: a little bit to the side. But is this gonna be?
Speaker 2: What things are?
Speaker 3: Cars?
Speaker 2: And be like, sit up straight, you're slouching. That's bad posture.
Speaker 2: I don't. I couldn't believe it. And I guess this
Speaker 2: is normal for for cars, and I'm sure it's safe
Speaker 2: but I felt like, you know how what people get
Speaker 2: a dui and they'll make them blow into it to whatever.
Speaker 2: These cars will say to you. If you don't look straight,
Speaker 2: they're gonna make you pull over.
Speaker 3: I didn't know, I along, Drew, I've got an old car.
Speaker 3: I didn't know this was the technology they're using. Now
Speaker 3: it feels like you've got your high school principal in
Speaker 3: your front seat with you.
Speaker 2: Yes, it was like taking mom's ridding shotgun. The whole time.
Speaker 2: It was like my old gym teacher who I took
Speaker 2: drivers said with who was sitting there yelling at me.
Speaker 2: So I didn't enjoy that second thing though. One of
Speaker 2: the places, and I'm sorry, I'm gonna have to say
Speaker 2: where this is, but I feel like it's part of
Speaker 2: the story. Okay, New Circle Road out there, like uh,
Speaker 2: next to Russell Cave. Okay, you know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: Out there, there's you know, that's where some of the
Speaker 2: more I don't know what you would say risk a
Speaker 2: businesses in town? Yeah, is that fair to say for
Speaker 2: people dance? But I wouldn't necessarily say it's a bar. Right.
Speaker 2: They have a bunch of those out there. And I
Speaker 2: was driving down Nicholas or on New Circle Road, coming
Speaker 2: like towards let's say, you know, I'm forgetting roads, the
Speaker 2: road to the Interstate that's right next to Yeah, the
Speaker 2: next time new Townpike come from in between Paris Pike
Speaker 2: and Newtownpike. And there's one of those dance establishments on
Speaker 2: the right. And as I'm driving by, I look outside
Speaker 2: and there's a man and his wife. And you all
Speaker 2: may have seen this. They have seven jugs of juice.
Speaker 2: Have you seen this?
Speaker 4: I think I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2: Like you know how when kids will have lemonade stands
Speaker 2: and they'll have a jug of juice. This was a
Speaker 2: grown man with seven different colors of juice in honestly
Speaker 2: a strip club parking lot. Okay, seven different and he
Speaker 2: had there were children there, and there was him, and
Speaker 2: there was a food truck and it said in Spanish
Speaker 2: basically juice, fruit juice. And I was thinking, those are
Speaker 2: seven different out in the open jugs of juice in
Speaker 2: a strip club parking lot on a Thursday night at
Speaker 2: six point thirty in the evening.
Speaker 1: It's just pimp juice.
Speaker 2: Here's the other shit, here's the thing. And there were
Speaker 2: a line of people getting the juice, and they look
Speaker 2: like people who had driven up to get the juice
Speaker 2: and get back in their car. Well, of course I
Speaker 2: look at it, and I'm like, this must be good.
Speaker 2: I love juice, but I couldn't make myself go into
Speaker 2: the parking lot and get the strip club juice that
Speaker 2: was there. But it had this guy had multiple flavors
Speaker 2: and a line of people that clearly this is a
Speaker 2: thing that people get. Drew, You're the foodie of.
Speaker 4: Lexing, and I love a good parking lot vendor that
Speaker 4: might not be on the books. I love a shady
Speaker 4: truck selling something all the back.
Speaker 2: So I went to the dairy Queen and I asked
Speaker 2: the person in the drive through, because it's right across
Speaker 2: the street, what's the deal with the Jews And they
Speaker 2: said they're They're out there every night and it's very popular.
Speaker 2: And I had no idea, And so I'm wondering if
Speaker 2: anyone listening has ever had it, and would you trust it? Drew?
Speaker 2: Would you would you see if you heard on like
Speaker 2: Lexington foodies, that there is juice in a parking lot
Speaker 2: of the Strip Club? Would you would you try it?
Speaker 4: Not only would I try it? When I'm back right. No,
Speaker 4: they don't have to go into that. A staff that
Speaker 4: place gives me dajavo anyway. But on Monday, I'm gonna
Speaker 4: take Mario and Mario, let's sample all the juices for
Speaker 4: a video.
Speaker 2: Would you like that?
Speaker 4: We don't have to go into the pink building, but
Speaker 4: just the juice truck.
Speaker 2: I want to.
Speaker 4: I'll do it a tasting for for our I.
Speaker 2: Mean you should. I freely admit I was fascinated. How
Speaker 2: do people know about it? This was not like just
Speaker 2: old guys standing in line. There were like, you know,
Speaker 2: professional looking people eating juice or drinking juice out of
Speaker 2: the parking lot. That was just in jugs, seven different colors,
Speaker 2: and Ryan I wanted to stop, but then I was worried,
Speaker 2: like you know, someone would take a picture, and I
Speaker 2: was like, I'm not gonna stop there. But I did
Speaker 2: wonder about it, and the car was yelling at me,
Speaker 2: look straight ahead, stop looking at the juice. My eyes
Speaker 2: up here, And I ended up not stopping. But I
Speaker 2: didn't know.
Speaker 3: This was the thing, But I'm gonna go. I may
Speaker 3: go tonight. I'm definitely on board with trying. Is that
Speaker 3: ex yeah, yeah, oh yeah, where you said it?
Speaker 2: Was well, okay if you go tonight because apparently they're
Speaker 2: out there. Uh. The woman that dairy queen said Wednesday
Speaker 2: through Saturday. Okay, so tonight is between those days.
Speaker 3: And obviously's good. If there's been a line there people
Speaker 3: waiting to get it is obviously something that tasty.
Speaker 2: So will you text me and let me know how
Speaker 2: it went?
Speaker 3: Yep, I definitely will.
Speaker 2: Just the city of Lexington continues to surprise me. But
Speaker 2: I don't think I've been more surprised than I was
Speaker 2: last night looking at the.
Speaker 4: Jews, I'm excited. It's gotta be good. If there are people,
Speaker 4: will you think it's gotta be good. They probably don't
Speaker 4: even care what that business is behind them because it's
Speaker 4: not even really open during the day. They just see
Speaker 4: an empty parking lot they can use. I don't think
Speaker 4: there's a they're collaborating on this business.
Speaker 2: We'll see now. Part of the reason I went driving
Speaker 2: around is I got frustrated that you're got Kirby Smart.
Speaker 2: All right, Kirby Smart. Did you see his quote yesterday?
Speaker 3: I heard he was on five.
Speaker 2: Yes, I didn't listen to it, but this is the
Speaker 2: quote and he said this yesterday, and I it was
Speaker 2: sitting by and I tweeted about it, and then I
Speaker 2: guess Georgia fans all saw it, and next thing you know,
Speaker 2: I was getting flooded by Georgia fans angry. Here was
Speaker 2: this quote by Nil. I just want to be able
Speaker 2: to have a freshman come in and not make more
Speaker 2: than a senior, and like I'd like for other sports
Speaker 2: to be able to survive. You know, we're on the
Speaker 2: brink of probably one to two years away from a
Speaker 2: lot of schools cutting sports. We need to change how
Speaker 2: this has happened. So I read that, and on the surface,
Speaker 2: people would look at that and go, well, that seems reasonable, right,
Speaker 2: freshmen should make more than senior years. We don't want
Speaker 2: to cut sports. I get that, But his primimise kind
Speaker 2: of was we're gonna have to cut sports because we're
Speaker 2: giving these kids too much money. Now, the last time
Speaker 2: I checked, Drew, was anybody forcing these schools to give
Speaker 2: kids money? Does Kirby Smart have to give freshmen more
Speaker 2: than he does seniors? Is that rule that you have
Speaker 2: to give a freshman more than seniors? So if Kirby
Speaker 2: Smart is giving freshman more than he's given seniors, would
Speaker 2: you agree with me? That that was his choice.
Speaker 4: It seems like a Kirby problem.
Speaker 2: It seems like Kirby problem. Nobody's making him do it.
Speaker 2: He could pay the seniors more, he's choosing to do it.
Speaker 2: But the second part of that is he says, we're
Speaker 2: gonna have to cut sports. We need to do something
Speaker 2: to stop it. Did I hear at any point Drew
Speaker 2: during that conversation that he volunteered to cut some of
Speaker 2: that ten million dollars a year salary. Did he say
Speaker 2: that at any point? I didn't catch it. Did he
Speaker 2: say I'll take nine millions so the track team can survive.
Speaker 2: Did he say I'll take nine point five so the
Speaker 2: tennis team will survive? How does he want to make
Speaker 2: those teams survive? He wants to cut his player's money.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't you agree there's a good chance his players make
Speaker 2: less than him. Oh? Yeah, it infuriates me. First of all,
Speaker 2: I agree with him. I want the lesser sports to survive.
Speaker 2: I agree with him there needs to be some kind
Speaker 2: of legislation. But I am so tired rhyminglemon of listening
Speaker 2: to these coaches who make ten million dollars a year
Speaker 2: to coach a game when they were making a million
Speaker 2: dollars or two million dollars even fifteen or twenty years ago.
Speaker 2: Their salaries have skyrocketed visa vis everything else. To say
Speaker 2: that the way to fix the system is to stop
Speaker 2: the players from making money, and nobody ever says, hey,
Speaker 2: you know what, maybe we need to control the player salaries,
Speaker 2: but you know who else's salary? We could controls the coaches.
Speaker 2: Maybe these schools in order to keep tennis, golf, whatever,
Speaker 2: should say we're gonna agree, we're not gonna pay coaches
Speaker 2: more than I don't know, six million dollars a year.
Speaker 2: Why don't they ever say that.
Speaker 3: They don't. They want to come across as a sympathetic creature,
Speaker 3: but no, no, no, they don't.
Speaker 2: They want to protect their money and keep the kids
Speaker 2: from making their Moneyely, that's what they want to do.
Speaker 2: I'm fine with the system where we say, why don't
Speaker 2: we control all these salaries a little bit, because I
Speaker 2: think that's fair. But in capitalism you can't just do
Speaker 2: that without having the employees have a say in that.
Speaker 2: And these schools want these players to shut up, make
Speaker 2: them shut up, take the money they're giving them. And oh,
Speaker 2: by the way, Kirby I need an extension, give me
Speaker 2: twelve million dollars a year. It's infuriating to me. I
Speaker 2: am totally with the idea of the system needs to
Speaker 2: be regulated, but I am so tired of these coaches,
Speaker 2: especially the ones that make obscene salaries. Drew complaining about
Speaker 2: the players making money and then complaining about the money
Speaker 2: that they choose to give to the players.
Speaker 4: They don't have to do it, And it is ironic
Speaker 4: coming from Kirby.
Speaker 2: Is he the highest paid He's the highs paid coach
Speaker 2: in the country.
Speaker 4: If Kirby wants to save sports, maybe he could fly Southwest.
Speaker 2: Maybe he makes him pay million dollars more a year
Speaker 2: than anyone else at his university, not in sports. Now.
Speaker 2: Does he deserve it? The market says he does. But
Speaker 2: guess what the market says these players deserve it too,
Speaker 2: because people are giving it to him, right. Yeah.
Speaker 4: And I don't know how he plans to or how
Speaker 4: he says if freshman shouldn't get more than a senior.
Speaker 4: I get you want to keep guys around, but if
Speaker 4: you if you lead guys are worth what they're worth,
Speaker 4: then you know it doesn't really matter what age are.
Speaker 2: You don't have to pay them, Kirby, Yeah, nobody's making
Speaker 2: you do it. Pay the seniors. So I heard that quote,
Speaker 2: and of course all the people online are like, good job,
Speaker 2: Kirby's right, and then Kirby's going to ask for two
Speaker 2: million dollars more a year next year.
Speaker 3: How did Georgia fans defend it? How do they do it?
Speaker 2: Because they don't. They don't think about it. They just
Speaker 2: say I agree, And a lot of the Kentucky fans
Speaker 2: defend it to and I just think it's ridiculous and
Speaker 2: it's and I keep hearing coaches to do it, and
Speaker 2: I think it's insane. We'll take a break eight five, nine,
Speaker 2: twenty two eighty seven here at ks bar and grill.
Speaker 2: Get a little dark outside, don't you. I can't wait
Speaker 2: to go get on a flight. Well, very bad is
Speaker 2: Kentucky sports Radio? Welcome back? Take you sports radio? Are
Speaker 2: you really gonna go try that tonight? I this weekend.
Speaker 2: If it's not tonight, it'll be this weekend for sure.
Speaker 2: I want to see what I want to see what
Speaker 2: it is.
Speaker 3: And I feel like you gotta try more than one.
Speaker 3: If he's got six or seven of them, you gotta
Speaker 3: try a couple.
Speaker 2: Now, I mean, if you're gonna go all the way
Speaker 2: over there, you might try. Absolutely said you got a
Speaker 2: message about I have a text from a friend who
Speaker 2: knows a friend. They actually say it is amazing and
Speaker 2: the drink is, believe it or not, called horror Chatta Horchata.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's I looked it up. No, that's a real drink,
Speaker 4: and it said no. Several people they goes and gets
Speaker 4: drinks there hor chatta.
Speaker 2: Yep, what's it? What's it for?
Speaker 3: Like, what's in it?
Speaker 4: What's it for? It's for you to drink. Uh, the
Speaker 4: specific cor chada. It looks like it's for various beverages.
Speaker 4: So I don't know specifically what that means, but that's
Speaker 4: what it's called. And uh, it's got five star reviews
Speaker 4: from someone I trust.
Speaker 2: All Right, so there you go. Maybe I should have
Speaker 2: stopped last night. All right, Ryan, I'm waiting on your okay,
Speaker 2: and then crew, well, Drew and Mario can do a video.
Speaker 2: I use Monday. I don't think they're open Monday, but whatever.
Speaker 3: Present no mistake by the way that it's called that,
Speaker 3: and they're at the parking lot of that establishment.
Speaker 2: You may be right about that, maybe right about that,
Speaker 2: but We're not gonna, uh, we're not gonna worry about it.
Speaker 2: What person rights? Matt. You say you're upset that the
Speaker 2: coaches all complain about it, don't Kentucky coaches complain. I
Speaker 2: actually have not heard Mark Pope complain? Have you? Does
Speaker 2: anybody remember Mark Pope complain about it? Stoops definitely has,
Speaker 2: But I don't think I've heard Mark Pope. As a
Speaker 2: matter of fact, didn't Mark Pope just say a few
Speaker 2: days ago, we're gonna pay the most money or whatever.
Speaker 2: We're gonna be the best.
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, someone asked what the budget is and
Speaker 4: he did, like doctor Evil. He was like two hundred
Speaker 4: million dollars, being sarcastic. But they said, no, of course,
Speaker 4: we want to have the most they need.
Speaker 2: So, you know, we've talked about this a lot. I'm
Speaker 2: not gonna go into extensive detail. There is a system
Speaker 2: that needs to be fixed, and the way to fix
Speaker 2: it is to go through Congress. And I've said this
Speaker 2: a couple of times. Teds and Corey Booker are working
Speaker 2: on it, and what I've heard from what they're doing,
Speaker 2: I actually give them a lot of credit. The bill's
Speaker 2: gonna have to be bipartisan because it's gonna take sixty
Speaker 2: votes in the Senate. They're working on it. Hopefully it works.
Speaker 2: If it doesn't, it doesn't. But I'll tell you what
Speaker 2: won't work, just complaining about it, which is what Kirby
Speaker 2: Smart and those guys do.
Speaker 3: And like I said, Kirby probably thought he was coming across,
Speaker 3: you know, as a sympathetic guy on the Fine Bomb Show,
Speaker 3: be a When you break it down what he said,
Speaker 3: like you did, you understand he's not the only one.
Speaker 3: He's not the only coaching thinks.
Speaker 2: They all think like But you know what, none of
Speaker 2: them do offer to give back any of their money,
Speaker 2: none of them and I'm not saying they should, but
Speaker 2: then don't complyan playing when the other folks get theirs.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: Thank you to the ladies of KSR. They made Shannon. Uh.
Speaker 2: They're called pop dolls, Funko pops. Funko pops. They made
Speaker 2: funko pops of me you, Drew and and and Ryan

Speaker 6: except for the aforementioned, which is the rice water, and
Speaker 6: it's got cinnamon in it vanilla. Think of it kind
Speaker 6: of like the after you eat your cinnamon post crunch,
Speaker 6: the with's less.

Speaker 2: without dairy and then rice water, that sounds pretty good. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I saw their set. I'm just gonna tell you, I
Speaker 2: respectfully to them. I don't think they're on door dash.
Speaker 2: That's just my my my look at it. But but
Speaker 2: I could be wrong. I'm not sure. Well, thank you,
Speaker 2: uh for the information. Speaking of speaking of if you,
Speaker 2: I just came into some Kentucky Purdue exhibition game. Good
Speaker 2: ticket and I I'm gonna I'm going to give them
Speaker 2: away to somebody and you have a chance to win
Speaker 2: them this weekend, and I will explain how when we
Speaker 2: come back to the break. Plus, UK basketball had somebody
Speaker 2: write me an interesting question about next year. I want
Speaker 2: to pull the fan base. See what they say. Right.
Speaker 2: If this KSR TJ. Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ,
Speaker 2: He'll make them pay.
Speaker 3: Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 2: Here's Matt Jones walking back in his Kentucky Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: It is pouring outside in Lexington, apparently severe storms in
Speaker 2: Boyle County and Garrett County. So I hope everybody is
Speaker 2: okay all across the central Kentucky area. AF. I'm nine
Speaker 2: two eight twenty two eighty seven Ryan. My My new
Speaker 2: interview show debuted last night on the KHAS. The podcast
Speaker 2: will come out this afternoon. It's not up on Apple
Speaker 2: or Spotify yet, so I'll just send out the link
Speaker 2: via social and hopefully the Apple. It takes like seventy
Speaker 2: two hours for Apple and Spotify to approve the feeds.
Speaker 2: But interviewed Baumani and I was really happy with it.
Speaker 2: We did it. We Billy bought this new service where
Speaker 2: we could see each other and talk and so we'll
Speaker 2: have some video clips of it. It was. It was
Speaker 2: really good, talked about a ton of stuff. But MANI
Speaker 2: and I now known each other for twenty years and
Speaker 2: it was neat to have him. He was my first
Speaker 2: guest on the old podcast, so we made him the
Speaker 2: first guest on the new one as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I didn't get to hear it live on WHAS,
Speaker 3: so I was looking for the podcast last night. I'm
Speaker 3: glad you said where the word it's gonna be.
Speaker 2: Well if you heard it on WHAS, we only got
Speaker 2: to play like thirty six minutes of it. The whole
Speaker 2: thing was about fifty five, So we're gonna put all
Speaker 2: fifty five on pot podcast. Basically, I'm gonna do it
Speaker 2: pretty much twice a week. One of the ones will
Speaker 2: end up on HS and the other one will be
Speaker 2: podcast only. And I already have my two guests for
Speaker 2: next week too, So I.
Speaker 4: Like starting with bo Money. I remember him in the
Speaker 4: early KSR website days, being on live blogs. Even wrote
Speaker 4: a few posts. You've had that connection for me. He
Speaker 4: took a long time.
Speaker 2: He took some shots at people too. Yeah. He uh, Well,
Speaker 2: I don't want to spoil it, but there's a couple
Speaker 2: of things. I was kind of surprised. He uh, he
Speaker 2: said it. So I think you'll you'll people will like
Speaker 2: it if you hear it. There's a couple people that
Speaker 2: are prominent in the sports media world that you'd be
Speaker 2: You'll be surprised, He'll be some what he says.
Speaker 3: How did you guys hook up and become buddies?
Speaker 2: Like how that star? So when when when Bomani worked
Speaker 2: at ESPN Tubby Smith last year at Kentucky we played
Speaker 2: at North Carolina Do you remember that?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: And we lost by a lot in that game, and
Speaker 2: Bomani went for ESPN to cover the game, kind of
Speaker 2: taking the UK fans are unreasonable for wanting Tubby to
Speaker 2: be gone. And then he went and he saw how
Speaker 2: bad we were and he basically wrote, well, maybe I
Speaker 2: understand why Kentucky fans want Tubby to some of them
Speaker 2: wanted to be gone. And he wrote that article and
Speaker 2: when I when I read it, I had him on
Speaker 2: my show. He was at that time just a writer,
Speaker 2: and then he of course ended up blowing up. And
Speaker 2: we've we've stayed. For instance, I remember one of our road.
Speaker 4: Trips, we went to breakfast with them.
Speaker 2: We went and we went to breakfast in Durham, Durham,
Speaker 2: North Carolina eight five nine, uh two eighth twenty two
Speaker 2: eighty seven, So so feel free to check that out. Also,
Speaker 2: if you this weekend, if you tonight, I'll even include
Speaker 2: you all. If you do this, since you're here tonight, today,
Speaker 2: tomorrow and Sunday, if you eat at kspar, take a picture,
Speaker 2: take a picture of you being in here, right, and
Speaker 2: you send it to me on the text machine, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna draw one of those out and give u K
Speaker 2: Purdue tickets for that opening exhibition game. So take a
Speaker 2: picture of yourself this weekend, and let's see, let's put
Speaker 2: something new in here so I know you were here
Speaker 2: this weekend. Oh well, the menus are new, so like
Speaker 2: have your menu in it. And uh, if you take
Speaker 2: a picture of you here, send it to the text
Speaker 2: machine wait till noon so that I can keep them
Speaker 2: all straight. Seven seven two seven seven four five two
Speaker 2: five four. And if you send a picture of you
Speaker 2: in here one of those people, I'll give you K
Speaker 2: Purdue tickets.
Speaker 3: I think, even though it was an exhibition game, that
Speaker 3: UK Purdue Exhibision game will be massive. I think it's
Speaker 3: gonna be a big deal for the fans. I think
Speaker 3: it'll be packed. I think it'll be a great environment,
Speaker 3: even for an exhibition game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and since there's not a ton going on, this
Speaker 2: is a good way to you can come visit and
Speaker 2: see some of the things Ryan did over done has
Speaker 2: done over here. You're such a good decorator.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I majored in that in Kentucky Western College.
Speaker 3: Hath decor Yeah, it's good.
Speaker 2: Who's up next session, Ethan, go ahead, Ethan. Hey, Matt.
Speaker 7: So some of these some of the sports teams, for example,
Speaker 7: like Penn State's tennis team, when they have to travel
Speaker 7: places all the way across country like u c LA,
Speaker 7: you have to imagine that that cuts into their money
Speaker 7: spending quite a bit. Without questions, why don't schools have
Speaker 7: like each sport within the school, like they all have
Speaker 7: to be in the same conference.
Speaker 2: Well, what I mean in the in Kentucky's case, Drew,
Speaker 2: we are in the SEC, but there are a couple
Speaker 2: of sports that were not. You know, I don't know
Speaker 2: a lot of people don't realize. For men's soccer, we're
Speaker 2: actually in Conference USA. I think we're not in the
Speaker 2: because the SEC doesn't have enough men's soccer teams. There
Speaker 2: might be another sport where we're in another conference. I'm
Speaker 2: not sure what it is. I do wonder if one day,
Speaker 2: like in the Big Ten, they say, look, let's divide
Speaker 2: it up so our tennis team doesn't have to fly
Speaker 2: to Washington, Oregon, UCLA USC because that's got to be
Speaker 2: a ton of costs. But when you added those teams
Speaker 2: to the conference, part of what you were doing was
Speaker 2: forcing your teams. I mean I saw that the University
Speaker 2: of Washington last year, their basketball team flew something like
Speaker 2: thirty five thousand miles during the course of the year.
Speaker 2: That was the school chose to put that on their players,
Speaker 2: and you can't now complain about the cost.
Speaker 4: Yeah, when they did the realignment, I think that was
Speaker 4: most people's first reaction, like, are they really going to
Speaker 4: fly all the way across the country to play tennis
Speaker 4: and then come right back, even the basketball teams. Was
Speaker 4: it Mick Cronin who kind of put out their travel schedule. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I don't have a lot of sympathy.
Speaker 2: For They said that's why they got out of the
Speaker 2: CBS Classic. He was like, I can't add another trip
Speaker 2: to the East Coast when I'm doing like seven or
Speaker 2: seven or eight of them during the year, you know,
Speaker 2: and the swimming and the tennis and all those teams
Speaker 2: are also flying commercial. You know, those teams are flying
Speaker 2: commercial cross country seven times a year.
Speaker 3: Well, that's why the budget is so important. You know,
Speaker 3: they joined the conference. They want this football money from
Speaker 3: the conference. Yet they have to spread it out so
Speaker 3: your other teams can survive and compete.
Speaker 2: Weren't you bum Drew about the UK baseball team last
Speaker 2: week watching the whole thing.
Speaker 4: I mean, five run lead twice. It just even when
Speaker 4: it was getting a little tight and uncomfortable, Dan, I'm like, well,
Speaker 4: they're gonna pull this off.
Speaker 2: And then with two outs with people who don't know,
Speaker 2: they got up five to nothing. Then they were up
Speaker 2: seven to two. They go into the ninth seven to five,
Speaker 2: two outs, two strikes. Yeah, they're down to the final strike,
Speaker 2: and then Vandy hits a three run home run to
Speaker 2: beat him eight to seven. A lot of the national
Speaker 2: people thought Kentucky because Vandy's top ten, Kentucky just needs
Speaker 2: to win one of the three games to be in
Speaker 2: the tournament. Just wine the three. This could have been
Speaker 2: the one. I mean, it was right there for the
Speaker 2: win and then they end up but that's a brutal.
Speaker 4: Long they're at five to zero in like the first inning.
Speaker 4: So it felt good all night. Even though they had
Speaker 4: a bad I think it's the seventh they left Basis
Speaker 4: let it out getting a run, he still thought, okay,
Speaker 4: we got a two run cushion. And then to be
Speaker 4: one strike away in that home run, I mean you
Speaker 4: didn't even have to watch it. The moment the ball
Speaker 4: hit the bat, it was like, that's it. There was
Speaker 4: no doubt on that one. He popped it out the
Speaker 4: left field.
Speaker 2: If they don't make the tournament, Ryan, and they probably
Speaker 2: still will, but it's not assured. Unless they win one
Speaker 2: of these games, that one is gonna probably stick with them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they just swept Oklahoma at home. People thought that, Okay,
Speaker 3: that may get him in. But if they would have
Speaker 3: won that game last night against number nine rank Vanderbilt
Speaker 3: one strike away from ensuring you're in the NCAA tournament,
Speaker 3: they still have.
Speaker 2: Two more chances though. Yeah, but I mean, when you
Speaker 2: get up five to nothing in the first inning, you
Speaker 2: think that's the one that you're gonna get right there, Yeah.
Speaker 4: To be a strike away, they pitching change a little
Speaker 4: questionable there. I feel bad for the kid giving up
Speaker 4: a three run bomb to lose the game. Like I said,
Speaker 4: there was no doubt. When the ball hit the bat,
Speaker 4: it was over. You didn't have to see it through.
Speaker 2: All right. So here's my question about UK basketball for
Speaker 2: a second. So I think pretty much every fan would
Speaker 2: say that Mark Pope's first year was a success. Would
Speaker 2: you agree with that? Yeah, there's any you think he
Speaker 2: has any outliers that don't believe year one was a success?
Speaker 3: Overall, absolutely a success.
Speaker 2: I would say, if you were to do like they
Speaker 2: do with presidents, the approval rating, wouldn't you say that
Speaker 2: Mark Pope is now one hundred nine percent? I mean
Speaker 2: high nineties, high nineties. So let's talk about year two.
Speaker 2: Probably top two or three in money spent in the
Speaker 2: transfer portal, if not number one, right there at the
Speaker 2: top two or three, good recruiting class, top eight team
Speaker 2: probably coming into the preseason in the rankings. What do
Speaker 2: you think Mark Pope needs to do? Slash? What is
Speaker 2: the expectation this year? If you were to say, if
Speaker 2: I were to get a call from a national radio
Speaker 2: show that says, Matt to make Mark Pope the fans
Speaker 2: still happy? What does he need to do in year two?
Speaker 2: What would you answer that question?
Speaker 3: That's a good question because obviously they're gonna be a
Speaker 3: better team this year, so I think you still gotta
Speaker 3: win these, you know, the higher profile games, the Louisville's,
Speaker 3: the Gonzagas, the Indiana's, you gotta win them and from March,
Speaker 3: and I think it all comes down again to March.
Speaker 3: I think he's got to get probably to the to
Speaker 3: the weekend, the final weekend, maybe even on the Sunday
Speaker 3: this year. What the team he's got because the SEC.
Speaker 2: Is what are you saying, you know he needs to
Speaker 2: make the Is that the elite A?
Speaker 3: No, the SEC tournament? Yeah, the SEC Tourna. I think
Speaker 3: he's gonna at least get to Sunday.
Speaker 2: And he's gotta get the championship.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so, because the SEC is gonna be
Speaker 3: down a little this year, not as strong as it
Speaker 3: was last year. They'll gonna be good, but you may
Speaker 3: have the best team in the league. And then when
Speaker 3: it comes to the NCAA Tournament, I mean maybe you
Speaker 3: think he's got to maybe sniff it at the final
Speaker 3: four if they gotta beat on a buzzer beater, and
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna be mad, but I think they gotta
Speaker 3: be snipping at the final four.
Speaker 4: What do you think you can't ask him to do
Speaker 4: much better than he did in the non conference last
Speaker 4: year beating Duke gonzag and.
Speaker 2: Louisville so bat Ohio state team. That's true.
Speaker 4: I did in factor that one in, but the what
Speaker 4: were they ten and eight in the SEC? I think
Speaker 4: you got to be in the mix for the regular
Speaker 4: season championship, especially with the SEC being down. I think
Speaker 4: you got to go to Nashville as the top two seed.
Speaker 4: You know, Florida's defending champ and they reloaded. I'm not
Speaker 4: gonna demand that Kentucky wins. I hope they win, but
Speaker 4: you got to be in the conversation to get some
Speaker 4: SEC rings again. And uh, definitely second weekend of the
Speaker 4: tournament and you should be knocking on the door for
Speaker 4: the final four.
Speaker 2: Yeah. For me, we need to contend for the SEC
Speaker 2: regular season title, whether we win it or not. It's
Speaker 2: been a few years since we've been playing for that title.
Speaker 4: I mean, well, we we were at two seed and
Speaker 4: Cal's last year and in the SEC turn.
Speaker 2: We lost in the first round. Yeah, yeah, right, And
Speaker 2: I believe the team that won won by a decent amount,
Speaker 2: right three games. I want to see us I agree
Speaker 2: with you, and that he's gonna have, if not the
Speaker 2: best roster, the second best roster. I think we need
Speaker 2: to be more consistent in the regular season. But the tournament,
Speaker 2: I mean, do you think it is final four or
Speaker 2: is it just get to that where games go either way?
Speaker 3: I'm kind of there. I mean, I think they got
Speaker 3: a team good enough to make the final four. But
Speaker 3: like I said, if they get they play a powerhouse
Speaker 3: team in the lead eight and get beat in a
Speaker 3: buzzer bill little in the final seconds, I think I'm
Speaker 3: gonna be all happy with it. I'm not saying they
Speaker 3: have to get to the final four to make me happy.
Speaker 3: Just play at that level. Play at that final four level.
Speaker 4: It's hard to say you got to make the final
Speaker 4: four because it's so random and hard to do that
Speaker 4: even when you're in a top seed. But I think
Speaker 4: you should be a top two seed in the tournament
Speaker 4: to give yourself the best chance. I certainly be in
Speaker 4: the lead eight and then whatever happens there as long
Speaker 4: as you don't get blown out, you can live with it.
Speaker 4: But I mean this hopefully we never have to we
Speaker 4: did last year where it's like could we play on
Speaker 4: Wednesday in Nashville or Thursday. You get a little pass
Speaker 4: on the losing to Georgia and Ole Miss and being
Speaker 4: in the middle of the pack in the conference. You
Speaker 4: got to get back to competing for SEC championships.
Speaker 2: Good things about Mark Pope is if he was sitting here,
Speaker 2: he would agree with all this. He is the one
Speaker 2: that says bring the expectations on. He doesn't say you
Speaker 2: people are crazy, you need to lower your expectations. He says,
Speaker 2: our expectations need to be high. Uh, and I appreciate that.
Speaker 2: With basketball season over, now is the perfect time to
Speaker 2: tackle that remodel you've been putting off. My friends at
Speaker 2: State Renovations they do kitchens, bass basements and even decks,
Speaker 2: and they do it right, guaranteed p at pricing, no
Speaker 2: surprise costs, daily updates, and a true turnkey experience. It's

Speaker 2: aestaterenos dot com that's a State R e n os
Speaker 2: dot com and mentioned KSR and you get half off
Speaker 2: your design agreement half.
Speaker 3: That's pretty good.
Speaker 2: Remember, I believe that's fifty per We will take a
Speaker 2: break and be right back. This is KSR. Welcome back,
Speaker 2: Take You Smarts Radio A five nine two eight oh
Speaker 2: twenty seven. We were just talking about the PGA Championship
Speaker 2: is going on at Quel Hollow and the players Drew
Speaker 2: seem to hate the course, that it was really wet
Speaker 2: because of rain, and they didn't let him do the
Speaker 2: lift cleaning place every time somebody hit the ball and
Speaker 2: come up with a big thing of mud, and they're
Speaker 2: all they're all complaining about it. I was just saying,
Speaker 2: you know, they always talk about valhalla, how it never works,
Speaker 2: and we do arrest the players when they come, which
Speaker 2: is not necessarily good. We got we need to stop
Speaker 2: doing that. But outside of that, you know that they've
Speaker 2: had Tiger win, they had Rory win, they had a
Speaker 2: great leaderboard last year and then Xander won. I think
Speaker 2: over what d Chambeau and then the first year we
Speaker 2: had a Kentuckian with Kenny Perry. Yeah, so he lost,
Speaker 2: but he was right there to the end. They you know,
Speaker 2: ends up being pretty good when it's a Valhalla outside
Speaker 2: of arresting the player.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you just put that one thing aside, had
Speaker 4: a good Ryder Cup there too. It's clear they're very
Speaker 4: when you have Scotti Scheffler taking a microphone and just
Speaker 4: complaining because he's usually a quiet whatever guy. You know,
Speaker 4: he's the best of bunch. You don't have to play
Speaker 4: about it. He was fired up about the conditions yesterday.
Speaker 4: It's made for other than our boys in the top ten.
Speaker 4: It's not a great leader poy like.
Speaker 2: I don't even know if I watch it this weekend
Speaker 2: because the lead I don't know anyone on the leaderboard
Speaker 2: except except the guys we know personally posting in there. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean besides Yeger and posting like you have no
Speaker 2: no interesting in Somebody suggested the name for the new show, Ryan,
Speaker 2: I kind of lie, all right, Matt splaining like man's plaining.
Speaker 2: Uh huh. But Matt's plaining because they say I would
Speaker 2: like you know, people accuse me of Matt splaining. What
Speaker 2: do you think about Matt Splaine.
Speaker 3: I don't hate it. I mean it's one of my
Speaker 3: favorites so far, I think I've heard.
Speaker 2: I actually think it's pretty good. I'm not gonna lie
Speaker 2: Drew and it would be unique. It might it might work.
Speaker 2: That would be the leader for me.
Speaker 4: You are you sticking with lawyers, guns and money as
Speaker 4: the song or is there a song?
Speaker 2: I think Billy forgot to put a song with it yesterday.
Speaker 2: I think it just came in with my voice.
Speaker 4: I was a little worried yesterday when you said, how's
Speaker 4: the podcast set up going? Because doesn't it take like
Speaker 4: twenty four hours to approve that and.
Speaker 2: Get takes seventy two hours.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So when he said I'll get to that today,
Speaker 4: I thought, oh, he believe it.
Speaker 2: Was a little stress yesterday.
Speaker 4: I think a little Yeah, the show fell apart. That
Speaker 4: wasn't Billy's fault.
Speaker 2: He was.
Speaker 4: You should have seen him running around the Lexdent studio
Speaker 4: trying to figure out.
Speaker 2: He was working hard. I think he was a little stressed.
Speaker 2: The Ohio State Legislature is debating a bill today to
Speaker 2: ban noon kickoffs in the state of Ohio. They want
Speaker 2: to they're pass the bill that says no Ohio state
Speaker 2: football game can start until three thirty. They're upset because
Speaker 2: of their eight home games last year, five of them
Speaker 2: were at noon, and if you remember, they always played
Speaker 2: the Ohio State Michigan game at noon every year. The
Speaker 2: Ohio State Legislature says it doesn't give our fans time
Speaker 2: to get ready aka get drunk. It hurts our atmospheres.
Speaker 2: The Big Ten is saying, hey, if you do that,
Speaker 2: we're gonna stop giving you the big national slots because
Speaker 2: our big national slot is noon. What do you think
Speaker 2: about the Ohio state legislator saying no noon kickoffs? Would
Speaker 2: you be for that? In Kentucky, I'm one of the
Speaker 2: rare people.
Speaker 3: I think that maybe I kind of like the noon
Speaker 3: kickoffs here because we got a little pregame here at
Speaker 3: the restaurant, go to the game, then you got tailgate,
Speaker 3: but then you took out the evening to do whatever
Speaker 3: else you want. Kind of makes it a fun side
Speaker 3: of it. But I think they're right that it does hurt
Speaker 3: the environment.
Speaker 2: Noon game's environments are in football not as good now.
Speaker 2: In basketball this year we actually had some good ones.
Speaker 2: We beat the war at that one where the game
Speaker 2: started at eleven am. But in football the environment is
Speaker 2: not as good at noon.
Speaker 4: I understand why they want it to not have all neons,
Speaker 4: but when the legislators started getting involved with stuff like this,
Speaker 4: I just think, surely there's something else you could be
Speaker 4: doing with your time. Then trying to figure out kickoffs
Speaker 4: for the college football teams in your state.
Speaker 2: And then so we're being like sandwiched by weird state laws. Tennessee,
Speaker 2: the state legislature yesterday passed the law, and I think
Speaker 2: this one needs to get a lot more attention because
Speaker 2: this one could blow up the whole college sports settlement.
Speaker 2: Tennessee passed the state law that says schools in Tennessee
Speaker 2: don't have to follow any of the NCAA rules. WHOA, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's very Tennessee of them. Yeah, it is very Tennessee.
Speaker 2: But it says they don't have to follow the settlement
Speaker 2: on Nile and they don't have to follow the NCAA rules.
Speaker 2: I mean, first of all, that is very Tennessee. You're right,
Speaker 2: And it's also that could blow the whole thing up. Right,
Speaker 2: if all these states say you don't have to Let's say,
Speaker 2: let's say they pass legislation and let's say everybody agrees
Speaker 2: to a set of rules. If tobacco chew and Tennessee
Speaker 2: decides we're not going to do it and just pays double,
Speaker 2: it blows the whole system up. Drew could then.
Speaker 4: The SEC or ever come from the top and then
Speaker 4: just enforce.
Speaker 2: I think the SEC would have to say, hey, if
Speaker 2: Tennessee and Vandi, if you're not gonna do it, you
Speaker 2: can't be in the SEC.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we're not gonna let you play in our championship.
Speaker 2: The problem is some conference would then take them, and
Speaker 2: you're right back to the same issue, Ryan, So, I
Speaker 2: I don't know who pushed that. I don't know if
Speaker 2: the Tennessee football basketball people pushed it. But that's a law,
Speaker 2: like they're spending all this time trying to create a
Speaker 2: system for everybody to follow. If Tennessee just decides we
Speaker 2: ain't doing it, then I don't know what happens At
Speaker 2: that point. They could literally they could ruin the whole thing.
Speaker 2: Let them go then, yeah, kick them out of the SEC.
Speaker 2: Said if you kick them out of the SEC, the
Speaker 2: ACC is gonna take them, And you still have the
Speaker 2: same problem, right You think they would not.
Speaker 3: They would just all the big conference would pass on
Speaker 3: Tennessee and Vanderbilt.
Speaker 2: Got so much money and they got one hundred thousand
Speaker 2: people in the stadium. Someone's gonna take them dying. The
Speaker 2: ACC probably would take them in a heartbeat. So you
Speaker 2: were going a very selfish thing by the Tennessee legislature
Speaker 2: to do. I mean, everyone is kind of a green.
Speaker 2: We gotta come up with something. You got one of
Speaker 2: the most partisan Republican senators and Ted Cruz and one
Speaker 2: of the most partisan Democrat ones and Corey Booker, and
Speaker 2: they're at green. Let's do this together and let's make
Speaker 2: it work. And then Tennessee's just gonna come around and say, well,
Speaker 2: we're not gonna follow any of the rules.
Speaker 4: If you told me to guess the state that would
Speaker 4: do it, Tennessee is a heavy favorite.
Speaker 2: That's actually probably true. Who's next, Shit, Dwayne, Dwayne, I
Speaker 2: got about thirty seconds, go ahead.
Speaker 5: Hey, I just want to ask questions. You told them
Speaker 5: about Ted Cruz and Cory Booker. If they come to
Speaker 5: you and said, Matt, what's the top two or three
Speaker 5: things you would like to see, yeah, come out of
Speaker 5: this legislation. What would they going to be the tour
Speaker 5: you would like?
Speaker 2: I would say, if you want to create legislation that
Speaker 2: can last, make the players sign two year contracts, the
Speaker 2: schools have to guarantee they guarantee the scholarship for the
Speaker 2: two years, one transfer, and then the money is twenty
Speaker 2: two million dollar you distribute it in the law but
Speaker 2: you give the players the ability to go get their
Speaker 2: own endorsements, but they have to be real endorsements. That's
Speaker 2: what I would do. We'll take a break, be right
Speaker 2: back
