Actually, sometimes it's better 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:54.560 not to listen to your co host, especially when he's 0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:58.120 Billy our sports.

Last year we did the Newlyweds 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:11.440 game there. If you remember that, Shannon, in which I won, 0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:14.600 you did you know? Not a weakness of mine knowing 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:16.319 my co host, but it may be of yours. 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:19.440 Well, don't to You's right, that's why I don't you 0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:20.560 don't win Newlywed game. 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:25.680 Well, uh, maybe you'll listen today and thank you for listening. 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:28.240 If you are out there listening on the radio dial 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:30.520 or on the iHeartRadio app eight five nine two eight 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:34.480 h two two eight seven if you'd like to join us. Uh, Channon, 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:36.680 do you ever do you ever think about your brain 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:39.280 just you know, not working and you saying something stupid 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:41.320 on the air once or twice because I have that fear. 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:44.560 Yeah, yeah, I mean when you're on the air as 0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:46.760 much as I am, it's almost impossible for it not 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:47.279 to happen. 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:50.280 Well, like literally the beginning where I just said you 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:53.280 were in Lexington like that didn't register in my mind. 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:55.400 And that's just such a fear of mine that I'm 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:57.480 gonna black out and say something that I don't remember, 0:01:57.480 --> 0:01:58.640 and it's gonna get me canceled. 0:01:58.680 --> 0:01:58.960 Sull. 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:01.919 I mean, like, you know, you doing a live show, 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:04.920 would hope to have a good producer who would take 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:07.000 care of you and hit the dump button if that 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:08.080 were to happen, you. 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:09.840 Know, but what if the producer doesn't listen to what 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:11.080 you're saying? It's true? 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:15.200 What if the producer is also the host, and you know, 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:17.320 is doing three different things and answering a phone call 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:19.519 and doesn't hear you say that. You know, I would 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:21.240 think that you would, you know, maybe jump in there 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:22.040 and save yourself. 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:24.160 But yeah, I mean, that's always a fear. 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:27.000 Man. That's that's live radio. Everybody thinks they're doing live 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:30.200 radio when they're doing a podcast. That's not radio. All right, No, 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:33.400 it's not even close. If you can go back and 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:36.880 dust it up, you know, and like take all the 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:41.120 blemishes out of it, then that's not live radio. 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:42.320 The beauty of live radio. 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:45.520 Anything could happen in live radio, and I think it 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:48.880 makes you, I think it makes you better something live. 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:51.079 Yeah, I don't know about you, but I mean, there 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:53.160 was just such a nervousness and a fear of the 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:55.240 first year or so of doing it. But then you 0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:57.480 get comfortable and that red light comes on and it's 0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:59.880 just like talking with your friends. But then then some 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.240 some times that brain just still stops working, Shannon. So 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:04.120 I don't think you ever fully grow out of it, 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:04.760 and I'm sure. 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:05.440 You've had a moment. Well. 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:08.840 The art is being comfortable without being too comfortable, because 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:09.520 when you get too. 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:11.560 Comfortable, that's when those things happen. 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:14.880 We know, our guy Ryan Lemon, it's a little too 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:16.920 comfortable every now and then and we'll have to use 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:19.760 the dumb button on him. Speaking of our guy Ryan, 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.240 how about him breaking his nose over the weekend but 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:25.519 breathing better afterwards. Somehow it knocked his nose into the 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.880 right place where he's breathing a little better, but face 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:32.080 planning into the handle of his trash can as he 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:32.720 was trying. 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:33.880 To move it up under the curb over the way. 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:37.360 I'm just trying to visualize how that even happens, because 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:40.680 like my trash can comes up to, you know, like 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:42.880 my stomach carrier maybe a little bit higher. 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:45.160 Okay, So I'm just trying to visualize. 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:47.680 Okay, I'm on the grass, I've got my trash can, 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:51.200 and I'm pushing it towards the driveway, which has a 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:54.360 little gap in between, and I'm just trying to figure 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:56.520 out how it would be physically possible for me in 0:03:56.560 --> 0:04:00.320 that moment to break my nose on the handles way 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:02.240 down here. I guess Ryan's a little bit shorter, so 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:05.880 maybe it comes up higher on him, right, so maybe 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:06.560 that checks out. 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:07.280 But still, I don't know. 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:09.480 I feel like that takes some true talent to break 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:11.320 your nose on the side of a garbage can. 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:12.480 I'm saying. 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:16.600 I'm saying maybe it helps the sleep apnea. But our 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:18.920 guy Ryan had a little bit of an eventful weekend, 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:21.360 and not only that, I thought we might be getting 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:23.839 rid of the Android phone. Finally, Shannon, he breaks his 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.839 phone over the weekend. But yet he says he's not 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:29.960 getting an iPhone upgrade, He's getting the Android. Yeah, and 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:32.599 you know, we've had these issues for years. But after 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:35.080 was Matt said on the air the other day that 0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:38.400 there's actually a security risk of group chats with an 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:41.800 Android phone. With a bunch of iPhones, Shannon, maybe we 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:43.280 do need to finally kick him out of the group. 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:46.279 Cho Well, here's what I was hearing yesterday from Ryan. 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:50.040 It sounds like to me that he spends more money 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:53.359 on the insurance of his phone than the insurance of 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:57.039 his own body. And if you're ensuring an android with 0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:59.720 more money than you are your own health, I think 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:03.120 that's a problem right there to begin with. So, you know, 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:05.960 we got to make sure that Ryan has his priority. 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:07.400 Is in check. You've got to make sure that he 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:10.240 is insured more than that stupid android phone. 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:14.239 Yeah, he's much more important than protecting what's on the phone. 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:17.440 But I relate with Ryan. I mean, how many times 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:21.400 do you sign something after reading the fine print, Shannon? 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:25.440 I mean the Apple terms and conditions, the you know, 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.520 even like you know you should read your contract, Shannon, 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:31.760 but there are times when you just go ahead and 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:32.480 you sign. 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:35.160 It, right, I mean, not a contract, a contract. 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:38.719 I'll read a contract maybe a little different than maybe 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:40.760 the the Apple app store. 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:42.080 What you're agreeing to every time? 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.760 Down the conditions, the terms and conditions. Everybody's just going 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:47.160 You're just wiping down to the bottom so you can 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:50.640 check the box. Right, nobody's reading all that stuff, And 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:52.560 who knows. I mean, you have to sign it anyway 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:55.080 to you know, get the phone, or to get whatever 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:57.840 app on the phone that you want. So you're signing 0:05:57.839 --> 0:05:59.479 away a lot of your privacy. And I think you 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:02.400 realize that anyway, if you're online, if you have any 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:06.360 social media presence at all, or an email address, your 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:09.040 information is already out there. That's why I don't understand 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:11.479 why people freak out when the security breach. Oh my gosh, 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:14.440 they have my information. Look, anybody could people find out 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:17.039 where I live and send me foreign money on the internet. Okay, 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:19.960 it's like there is no privacy. Privacy does not exist. 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:21.719 Once you lou on the Yeah, once you go on 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:23.560 the internet for the first time, your prophecy is gone. 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:24.240 You know. 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:26.719 You go on a website and you accept cookies to 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:29.600 join the website, I'm sure that's tracking me somehow. 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:32.080 She don't even know what that means too, That says cookies, 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.640 What do you mean like chocolate? Yeah, I don't even 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:36.839 know what you're talking about. 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:40.719 So, yeah, that is something we'll look back on that 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:43.719 maybe we signed away a little too easily. But speaking 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:46.039 of fine print, I watched one of the first episodes 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:48.359 of the new season of Black Mirror, Shannon, are you 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:49.320 a Black Mirror fan? 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:49.680 You know? 0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:52.200 I watched like one or two episodes, and I just 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:54.760 I feel like that's one of those series that I 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:57.679 should be into, but I just never really got into 0:06:57.760 --> 0:06:58.440 it very much. 0:06:58.480 --> 0:06:59.760 It's so good, it's so good. 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:03.040 It's it's about the dystopian future and how technology can 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:05.800 have these negative side effects and not reading the fine 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:08.640 print went a long way in one of the new episodes. 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:11.600 So I can't recommend it enough. It is a good 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:13.720 show if you're looking for something on Netflix, but read 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:16.600 the fine print, folks, even though I probably won't. 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:17.360 Can I tell you what? 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:21.920 I started watching the record at the recommendation of Ryan yesterday. 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:24.600 Ryan's getting all kinds of talk in this first segment, 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.360 I guess, so you know, he recommended the new pee 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:31.200 Wee Herman documentary, and as someone who grew up watching 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:35.800 Peewee's Playhouse as a kid, I was interested in it. 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:39.720 And it's it's actually pretty good. It's a two part series. 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:41.080 I don't know if you really call that a series. 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:44.640 It's just a two part thing documentary, I guess, two 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:47.360 part documentary, and like the first one is an hour 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:48.720 and a half long, so I haven't gotten through that 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:52.400 first one yet. It's alone, but it's interesting seeing the 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:57.280 guy who was like type cast it as pee wee Herman. Right, Nobody, 0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:58.640 even a lot of people didn't even know his real 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:02.160 name because he kind of played one character his entire 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:04.600 career after that, and he was. 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:05.960 Talking about an identity crisis. 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:07.640 Yeah, I mean it shows like he was on like 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:09.920 the Dating Game. Did you know that pee wee Herman 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:13.200 is on the Dating Game? He actually did. I think 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:16.680 he created the character pee Wee Herman by doing an 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.440 improv stand up. He had to do like the each 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:21.560 person in this improv group had to go up and 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:25.040 perform like a comedy routine, but you had to create 0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:28.880 a character. And he created this character, pee Wee Herman, 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:31.040 and it took off. It was such a big deal 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:34.080 that then he ended up having his own kid show. 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:35.319 Imagine that. 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:37.679 I mean, it's a little different with Shannon the Dude, right, 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:40.160 Shannon the Dude's not that much different on the radio 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:42.319 than Shannon Griggs be in real life. But like when 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:45.960 you create this completely different persona and it launches you 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.800 into superstardom where you have to act like that character 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:50.720 all the time. I mean, that has got to be 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:54.280 just an insane way to go about life. You know, 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:56.400 pe wee Herman's kind of like a fever dream for me. 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:56.720 Shannon. 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:58.280 I don't know if I could say I was super 0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:00.480 into it since I was born in ninety five, but 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:03.040 like my dad showed me the movies, and I have 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:07.400 these dreams of large Marge, like like eyeballs popping out 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:09.640 of her head and like just kind of like these 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:12.000 odd moments. It was such a weird show, but it 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:14.720 did connect with a pretty big audience. So you're saying 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:15.920 I should check that documentary. 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:18.360 Yeah, yeah, and it's genius because people didn't know is 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:21.400 this a like is pee wee Herman? Like who this 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:24.320 guy really is or not? And you couldn't tell. He 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:26.160 blurred the line so well. It was kind of like 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:27.280 an Andy Kaufman thing. 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:30.040 You know. He would be into character all. 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:31.760 The time, and even when we go out, he would 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:34.160 go out in public and not be doing pee wee Herman. 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:35.800 He would have to kind of be pee wee Herman 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:37.520 because that's what everybody thought. 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.079 He was who everybody thought that he actually was. 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:42.920 In real life, and he played that character so well 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:45.760 that people didn't know is that really him? 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:48.000 Does he really talk like that? Does he really act 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:49.120 like that all the time. 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:51.240 It's kind of like, you know, like Rick Flair had 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:53.680 to be Rick Flair all the time, mm hmm, you know, 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:55.800 the million dollar man. He had that persona, so he 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:58.320 had to live that lifestyle even when he wasn't on screen, 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:00.600 so that the public would see him the same way 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:01.520 they see them on TV. 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:04.199 And that's got to be exhausting. And that's what I'm 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:06.840 getting to like, how can you act like that? 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:08.120 That charade? 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:10.760 Now a little bit of a different lane here, there 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:13.160 are some actors that are known as method actor shann 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:16.240 where they just take everything way too seriously, and even 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:19.160 when the cameras go off, they still act like the 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:20.240 person they're portraying. 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:20.600 Right. 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:23.560 There's been some reports in this new upcoming movie about 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:27.160 John Madden that is I think it's Nick Cage and 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:30.160 Christian Bale are playing John Madden and Al Davis and 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:33.600 their method acting this out, and the cast and crew 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:36.200 apparently are just sick and tired of these guys because 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:38.840 you know, they're they're acting like these characters, but then 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:41.000 when the lights and camera goes off, there's still being 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:41.960 assholes right there. 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.400 Still being whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa. But did you 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:45.080 drop that shit? 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:46.120 Yeah? 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:48.679 I think you should probably see we were talking about it. 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:51.360 Look at that we're talking about it, and then it 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:54.920 happens on the first segment that button works. How does 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:57.839 that have to dump you? What's morning radio? 0:10:57.920 --> 0:10:59.600 Shannon's It's got to do a little bit of a 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:03.960 different vibe than most conversations. I can't believe we had 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:06.079 I just had that while we were talking about it. 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:09.560 Anyway, you need to take a moment. Do you need 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:10.720 to like get some fresh air? 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:11.200 No? 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:14.360 No, I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm fine. I just you know, 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:16.960 as happened to some people in years, and I just 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:17.200 do it. 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:19.240 Let's go back to talk about a segment that doesn't 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:21.199 make you want to say cuss words on the air 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:22.319 at nine o'clock in the morning. 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:23.760 It wasn't even really a cuss word. 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:25.640 It was I was just looking up. We were talking about 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:27.640 the Pewee Harman documentary. Do you realize that, you know, 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:30.040 some of these shows have such an impact on culture, 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:32.040 but that you look them up and you don't even 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:33.679 realize or I didn't, at least that it was a 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:35.360 short run and only it was only on the air 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:37.560 for four years, and it felt like it was on 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:38.560 for fifteen years. 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:40.119 Really it was only on for four. 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:43.280 Peewee's playoffs aired from nineteen eighty six to nineteen ninety, 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:44.440 making it a four year run. 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:47.160 That's it, only four years. 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:50.240 Did you say nineteen ninety six to nineteen ninety eighty six? 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:51.640 Eighty six to ninety. 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:54.800 Okay, So maybe that's why I remember the movies much 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:56.880 more than the actual show. There was like a talking 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:59.760 chair or something like that in the show. Yeah, it 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:02.079 was Cherry. 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:04.320 It's like a fever dream. It's all kind of coming 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:04.760 back to me. 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:06.760 I think the movies, yeah, it makes it, you know, 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.760 it adds to the longevity of it. But the you 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:13.720 know Saturday Morning show was only four or four years running. 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:15.520 Wasn't that long, But then you got the movies. 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:17.600 I think that, you know, in your mind thinks makes 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:19.200 it seem longer than what it is. 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:22.040 Well, it's it's it's weird the things that you remember. 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:23.720 But I'll have to check out a little pee wee Herman. 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:27.520 It is otega Oway Day, Shane, and we should mention 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:30.920 that it is decision day for Otegah. He has until 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:34.880 eleven fifty nine tonight to withdraw from the NBA Draft 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:37.480 and officially a return back to Kentucky. At least that's 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:40.680 the hope for many listening to this show. Right now, 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:43.560 there's some new reporting that has come out. Matt Norlander 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.360 is reporting that always feedback over the last couple of 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:50.680 days has been overwhelmingly positive. So while Norlander still expects 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.760 Otega away to come back to Kentucky, there are some 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.960 reports that the feedback is good. And then Darryl Bird 0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:00.760 is down in Florida for the sec ME and he 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:03.760 had a report on the Cats pause that Oa has 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:06.760 one final workout today with an NBA team before he 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:10.120 will make his final decision. Shannon, does any of this 0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:13.280 new news change your opinion on what you think Otega will. 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:15.240 Do later today? No, I think he's still coming back 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:19.520 at Kentucky. But I think he's getting every last drop 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:22.319 out of this experience that he can, as he should, 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:24.600 right because he's going to go back again next year 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:28.360 after this upcoming season and go through the process again. 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:30.760 So I think that if you have the opportunity to 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.640 work out for the NBA teams, you should work out 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:37.560 for every team that you have that opportunity for, because 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:39.840 who knows, this last team that he's working out for 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:42.400 today very well could be the team that ends up 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:45.240 drafting him next year. So why would you not go 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:47.520 at least through that process. You're already in the process. 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:49.800 He's you know, he's all in. I don't think that 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:52.240 you just if you're going to test the waters, you 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:53.920 just go, well, I'm going to do it with this 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:55.679 team and this team, but not the other teams. 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:57.040 I think that would be foolish to do that. 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:00.800 So now that you're already in the the process, she 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:01.840 might as well work out. 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:03.280 For every team that you have the opportunity for. 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:05.960 And I think that's smart on his point on his part, 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:08.760 but I don't think that it's going to change his mind, 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:11.160 and I think he will be announcing later on today 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:12.360 that he's coming back to Kentucky. 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:15.680 When your dream is to make the NBA, Like you said, Shannon, 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:18.280 I think it's foolish to not explore every avenue. And 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:20.880 that's what otega Oway is doing. And I love to 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:24.000 hear that the feedback is overwhelmingly positive. That means he 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:26.680 will be even a bigger contributor for Kentucky next year 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:30.560 if he does decide to return. But if he doesn't, Shannon, 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:33.240 I mean, what do you think about this roster? I mean, 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:36.960 where are you at with what Mark Pope has without Oteka? 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:39.360 If that was the decision, I'm kind of on. 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:43.440 The verge of it's near a top ten roster without him. 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:45.720 With him, it could be a top five, top three. 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:47.160 Do you agree with that or do you think a 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:47.840 little differently. 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:50.800 I think he has a big impact, more so than 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.680 what we knew this time last year, right especially going 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:55.680 through the season and realizing, Okay, this is the guy 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:58.440 that's putting the team on his back and scoring double 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:01.640 digits and nearly every game throughout the season. If he 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:03.840 doesn't come back, I mean, they still have a great team, 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:07.400 but they need him. Let's not split here. I mean, 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:10.320 let's be rull about it. They need Otega away for 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:13.400 next season. If he doesn't come back, there's still a 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:14.920 top twenty five team. I don't know if I'm going 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:17.640 to say top ten, still a top twenty five, but 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:20.560 I think that this team will be centered around Otega 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:23.360 oway and if he doesn't come back, then you have 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:25.320 to lean on the experience of your other guys that 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:26.520 you had in the transfer portal. 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:28.280 Yeah, which is bizarre. 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:29.920 I mean, just think about like a year and a 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:32.640 half ago, this guy's transferring from Oklahoma. 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:34.120 I mean, do we. 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:36.520 Even really know who this guy is? But he ends 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:39.600 up scoring double digits in all but two games, game 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:42.360 winners against Oklahoma twice. Man, he was the heart and 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:44.320 soul of this team in a lot of ways, And 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:47.120 you're right, I mean, it just takes on a completely 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:49.000 different vibe if he were to come back. I mean, 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:52.920 you're looking at a SEC preseason player of the year, possibility, 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:57.040 first team All SEC. And I'm excited. I'm excited for 0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:59.120 the kid. Whatever he decides to do. I think he's 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:02.160 got a very bright, few mature but these Cats fans 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:04.240 would love him back, and you know, he would be. 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:05.680 Embraced again by this fan base. 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:09.720 Of of course he would so exciting news possibly coming 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:12.560 later today with otega Oway Hey five nine two eight 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:14.560 oh two two eight seven Texas five o two two 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:16.320 six five six six five six. 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:18.200 I'll try not to cuss the rest of the show. 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:21.040 Do you have any more cuss words? No, No, it's fine. 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:23.840 I just wanted to test the dump button. I mean, 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:24.960 i'd assume it works. 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:27.240 I don't know well it better. I mean, you're the producer. 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:30.040 You got one job over there. If you could do that, 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:30.800 I'll slow down. 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:33.320
