Speaker 4: and Catus. There's a Mark poping you know Highlands.
Speaker 3: Well you didn't give me the right number yesterday because
Speaker 3: that guy had no idea what I was talking about
Speaker 3: when I called it and said to this Mark Pope.
Speaker 4: Well, but there is a Mark Pope, but apparently he's
Speaker 4: in jail and Corbin.
Speaker 5: Poor guy. You just keep calling out for being in jail.
Speaker 4: Uh God, I got a lot of stuff we're gonna
Speaker 4: get today, but I think everybody's kind of anxious and
Speaker 4: want to talk about the one pressing topic right now.
Speaker 4: So that you said you opened up your script. If
Speaker 4: you're ready for your play debut.
Speaker 5: We're gonna lead with Romeo and Juliet. Yes, okay, Yeah,
Speaker 5: we had a rehearsal last night lots of fun. Uh huh,
Speaker 5: it wasn't. It wasn't a dress rehearsal, not in costume,
Speaker 5: more of just a walk through meeting. Everyone loved the cast,
Speaker 5: lots of nice people. Uh. We did like a got
Speaker 5: a circle and did some voice warm.
Speaker 4: Ups professional stuff.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we went around. You had to you had to
Speaker 5: say your name, what you do, and your your favorite
Speaker 5: hobby and then everyone says welcome, say your name back,
Speaker 5: and then we had to act out the hobby for everyone.
Speaker 5: So that was pretty fun. The guy next I was
Speaker 5: gonna say golf, but the guy next to me said golf,
Speaker 5: so uh, at the last minute said I like to
Speaker 5: do cartwheels, just to see if anyone went attempts cart
Speaker 5: whel It didn't work, but uh yeah I got it.
Speaker 5: That's how we got loose, got warmed up. Maybe before
Speaker 5: every show we should start doing that, get the vocal
Speaker 5: cords going. One thing I did learn though, it's uh,
Speaker 5: you know, I had I got to hold the sheet
Speaker 5: for the line, so no pressure on this one. Everybody
Speaker 5: was holding their sheet. But I didn't consider there's a
Speaker 5: lot more to know, Like there's like six different entrances
Speaker 5: and I enter at different parts and exited different parts,
Speaker 5: where to stand on the stage, A lot of things
Speaker 5: I didn't consider. So there was a lot of information
Speaker 5: I had to take in and things I've got to
Speaker 5: I've got to learn before I guess second a week
Speaker 5: from tomorrow from tomorrow.
Speaker 4: So how many lines do you have?
Speaker 5: I'd say it's probably about ten to fifteen. I'm in.
Speaker 5: I'm in like two big conversations. But the big thing
Speaker 5: spoiler alert if anyone doesn't know how Romeo and Juliet
Speaker 5: at ends, let's let's turned on.
Speaker 4: Okay, So I have to die.
Speaker 5: At the end in the final scene, I'm in a
Speaker 5: I'm in a sword fight. Last night. I didn't have
Speaker 5: a sword, so we were just doing it, you know,
Speaker 5: air swords. But one thing I didn't know until I
Speaker 5: got there is I lay on the stage and I'm there,
Speaker 5: like the whole scene, I'm people are stepping over me.
Speaker 5: I'm just staring up at the lights. So I'm I
Speaker 5: gotta i gotta practice dying. I'm gonna watch some old
Speaker 5: horror movies. Uh, I kind of learn, you know, the
Speaker 5: slasher movies, kind of learn how to die, because you know,
Speaker 5: that's it's a big role that I that I'm taking on.
Speaker 5: I thought I just had to rattle off a few lines,
Speaker 5: but I have to actually die in front of everyone
Speaker 5: and stay there for a big part of the show. Spiller, Sorry,
Speaker 5: every one Paris dies.
Speaker 2: Can watch you die?
Speaker 5: Please like some children's theater, go get tickets.
Speaker 4: Well, if you need some advice, you know, we have
Speaker 4: a professional actor here on this showed this morning. He
Speaker 4: can kind of help you with, you know, delivering your lines.
Speaker 4: How you're supposed to die. Help me?
Speaker 5: Have you ever had to die?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, in the ovw ring just about every time I
Speaker 3: step in there. And now you've got this man, I
Speaker 3: was talking about you on the pre show. I know
Speaker 3: that you're gonna be over prepared and you're gonna do
Speaker 3: just fine. You're gonna knock it out of the park.
Speaker 5: Well, one thing I did to prepare, I'm gonna confess something.
Speaker 5: Even my my fellow cast members don't know this. I
Speaker 5: went on Amazon and I bought, uh, this is a
Speaker 5: genius move, by the way, patting myself on the back.
Speaker 5: I bought like a quarterback wristband that has the plays
Speaker 5: and I'm gonna wear it with my costume and I
Speaker 5: can just kind of flip that open. I mean, it's
Speaker 5: amazing how much information those wristbands can hold. So that
Speaker 5: that idea popped in my head and Amazon got it
Speaker 5: to me yesterday.
Speaker 2: So there's a chance you could be up there reading
Speaker 2: the script.
Speaker 5: Oh absolutely, I mean, I hope, I hope. I don't
Speaker 5: need to, but if I get in the moment, I'm
Speaker 5: gonna be QB one and I'll just flip that up
Speaker 5: and a glance real quick.
Speaker 4: Because there's just one performance, right, yes, one show.
Speaker 5: You better get tickets, you.
Speaker 4: Know, if you do need practice or some advice about
Speaker 4: how to just lay dead for a whole show. You know,
Speaker 4: Shannon Lay's dead on his belly in the end of
Speaker 4: Netflix for There Behind You.
Speaker 2: That joke a lot better when I made it one
Speaker 2: minute ago. Yes, that's true.
Speaker 4: Well, the picture of you on your bellies like right
Speaker 4: over Drew's shoulder. Yeah, so we see it every day.
Speaker 4: It's one of the best shot there. But good luck, though,
Speaker 4: we were proud of you. Man Lex Children's Theater week
Speaker 4: from tomorrow.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's still some tickets available. It holds about three
Speaker 5: hundred people. Okay, so I have to be dead in
Speaker 5: front of three hundred people. It is very informal. I
Speaker 5: feel a lot more relaxed now like yesterday. I don't
Speaker 5: mind saying this. As I was rehearsing, I had a
Speaker 5: beer in my hand. I mean they had They had
Speaker 5: some food and snacks for us, a few beers, so
Speaker 5: it's not that serious. It's more of a comedy.
Speaker 4: If you pull that off. Have a beer on stage
Speaker 4: during the actual performance, now that's something.
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna do that during the performance, but to
Speaker 5: loosen up, and you know, it was a long night.
Speaker 5: They took good care of us. Also, I just I
Speaker 5: guess I'm a creep. I just aggressively hit on Juliet
Speaker 5: for all of my lines and get turned down. Kind
Speaker 5: of type cast there.
Speaker 4: Uh eight five nine who two two eighty seven. Matt
Speaker 4: will be back on Monday. So I texted Mama Karen
Speaker 4: this morning. You know, got any update and I can
Speaker 4: pass this along. He's headed to New York tomorrow, so
Speaker 4: he flies back to the United States tomorrow. He'll be
Speaker 4: in Kentucky on Saturday. They're gonna have dinner on Sunday,
Speaker 4: and then of course he'll be here on Monday.
Speaker 5: So you got the whole family agenda.
Speaker 4: Yeahs dinner. Yeah, Well, I think a lot of people
Speaker 4: are asking, you know, how's it going. We've not really
Speaker 4: heard out how things have gone. He's checked in from
Speaker 4: time to time, but I'm just to hear his stories
Speaker 4: from up there.
Speaker 5: Yeah. So he sent us a tenerary for next week
Speaker 5: when he's back. Yeah, so we know we'll be here
Speaker 5: Tuesday through Thursday at least at the bar. Ya. Looking
Speaker 5: forward to having him back and looking forward to you
Speaker 5: driving for two more days.
Speaker 4: Today and tomorrow.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And today we've.
Speaker 5: Gotatty, why are you so dressed up? I walked in
Speaker 5: and Shannon, he's got a shirt tucked in, he's got
Speaker 5: some khakis, a button up. I've I've looked like a
Speaker 5: slob sitting next to you up here.
Speaker 2: He got a closing or something going on.
Speaker 4: No, I actually have a speaking engagement after the show.
Speaker 2: Whole no speaking engagement.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I mean we made content out of my
Speaker 5: speaking engagements. What what do you got going on?
Speaker 4: Well, cause soon as I say this, you guys are
Speaker 4: gonna make fun of me. It's a convention at the
Speaker 4: Embassy Suites on Newtown Pike, about one hundred and fifty engineers.
Speaker 2: What are you gonna say to an engineer? Well, goodness
Speaker 2: say like, let's find the opposite of an engineer.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, uh so, uh uh yoga girl, and I
Speaker 4: researched a couple of engineer jokes. I think I'm gonna
Speaker 4: go try out, try it out.
Speaker 5: I mean, we talk about me being in a play.
Speaker 5: This is the real show. What's what joke?
Speaker 2: Give me one lead with your best.
Speaker 4: Well, of course, I'm gonna I'm gonna use the John
Speaker 4: Cali Perry room full of timeouts joke. That's that's a
Speaker 4: that's a definitely give me. I'll probably use John car
Speaker 4: Cali Perry taking the early exit joke. Those will be used. Okay,
Speaker 4: here's my here's my engineer joke. Okay, ready, did you
Speaker 4: hear the story about the three engineers who were driving
Speaker 4: in a car around New Circle Road. The car had
Speaker 4: trouble and broke down. Well, the mechanical engineer in the
Speaker 4: back said, it's got to be something mechanical with the
Speaker 4: engine or the torso or something. The electrical engineer, who
Speaker 4: was writing shotgun said no, no, no, it's definitely an
Speaker 4: electrical problem. I can fix it. Well, the software engineer
Speaker 4: was driving. The software engineer said, listen, guys, all we
Speaker 4: got to do get out of the car. Count to thirty,
Speaker 4: get back in the car, start right up. You don't
Speaker 4: think you don't think that's a good one.
Speaker 5: I mean, good luck.
Speaker 4: I mean that's what dude supposed you know, you unplug it,
Speaker 4: you wait thirty seconds, and you plug it back with you.
Speaker 5: Do you need to borrow my quarterback wristband to write
Speaker 5: down your notes for you? So?
Speaker 2: How long do you have to talk?
Speaker 4: Thirty minutes?
Speaker 2: You have to talk for thirty minutes?
Speaker 5: God?
Speaker 2: Yeah, what are you going to say after that?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Here's why I say any questions. You guys got
Speaker 4: an question about UK football, UK basketball.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm just trying to figure out, like, you've
Speaker 3: got to talk to engineers, but you're talking to them
Speaker 3: about engineering.
Speaker 2: Oh, Kentucky sports, Well I plan.
Speaker 4: On kind of poking fun at them a little bit.
Speaker 5: If we can tell, Yeah, are they Kentucky fans? Will
Speaker 5: they get the John.
Speaker 4: Calvper across the state?
Speaker 5: Okay? So it's all Conuck.
Speaker 4: Could be some Louisville fans, could be Indiana fans, could
Speaker 4: be some Tennessee fans in there.
Speaker 5: I'm nervous for you.
Speaker 2: I am too.
Speaker 5: I think five minutes are gonna pass, and you're gonna
Speaker 5: run out of things to say.
Speaker 4: Well, that's why we open up for questions, and they
Speaker 4: got twenty five minutes for question and answers to the.
Speaker 5: Time, go to the nothing else. Just start naming all
Speaker 5: the Mark Popes around the state.
Speaker 4: Well they're apparently they're all they are. I got text
Speaker 4: messages all night long where they found there's another Mark Pope.
Speaker 5: Good luck.
Speaker 4: Well there is one kind of thank you. There is
Speaker 4: kind of one news topic I think we got to
Speaker 4: get to here in this first segment, is that we've
Speaker 4: talked so much about the UK basketball roster and the
Speaker 4: making up the roster, well the UK football roster, and
Speaker 4: got a little shake up yesterday with Hartley Gilmour coming
Speaker 4: back to the team. He left the team enrolled in Nebraska,
Speaker 4: has now left Nebraska and coming back to Kentucky. And
Speaker 4: I think we need to say he had a misdemeanor
Speaker 4: assault charge against him when he was hearing lection in
Speaker 4: the first time, and that kind of led to his
Speaker 4: dismissal first go around. Now they're inviting him back, bringing
Speaker 4: him back, of course, the receiver room needs little depth.
Speaker 4: What's your take on Harley Gilmore returning back to the
Speaker 4: Kentucky football team.
Speaker 5: You know, the reaction has not been good, and it's
Speaker 5: the reaction you would expect. I mean, he I don't remember.
Speaker 5: I don't think he got dismissed here. I just left.
Speaker 5: But as you said, he had off the field issues.
Speaker 5: Then he doesn't even make it through spring practice at
Speaker 5: Nebraska and they sent him packing. So it just makes
Speaker 5: you wonder if Kentucky's all about repairing the culture of
Speaker 5: all the people that are in the portal. It does
Speaker 5: seem like an odd move. It's really bad optics to
Speaker 5: add him, really, as Stoops has been very vocal about
Speaker 5: how they're cleaning up that locker room, and if you know,
Speaker 5: it was rumored and reported that he was part of
Speaker 5: the trouble in the receiver last year receiver room last year.
Speaker 5: So I think it is an odd move. I hope
Speaker 5: that they've set him down and said, look, dude, this
Speaker 5: is your final chance. Absolutely nothing can go wrong. You're gone.
Speaker 5: You've now, you've been at two stops, this is this third.
Speaker 5: You got one more left. I hope they're on a
Speaker 5: very strict discipline around him, because it's it's not a
Speaker 5: good look.
Speaker 4: Really, Shannon, what do you.
Speaker 5: Think I mean?
Speaker 3: We just heard when you know Stoops was last on
Speaker 3: this show. How he's going to make, you know, a
Speaker 3: big emphasis on cleaning up all the off the field
Speaker 3: issues that we were talking about, you know, like the
Speaker 3: culture of Kentucky football. And then you bring a guy
Speaker 3: back that's already got a track record. It's not a
Speaker 3: great look. I got to be honest with you. So
Speaker 3: if you bring him in, I think you got to say,
Speaker 3: this is an absolute zero policy situation.
Speaker 2: You do anything crossway that you're out.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 3: I don't know how you can if your Mark Stoops
Speaker 3: be taken seriously about changing the culture, if you're bringing
Speaker 3: back somebody that already has issues.
Speaker 4: I think Drew's right. I think when he left here
Speaker 4: the first time, he didn't get necessarily gett dismissed. I
Speaker 4: think it was mutual. I think he got in trouble
Speaker 4: kind of a mutual decision. Hey maybe he should look elsewhere,
Speaker 4: and he did transfer it Abrasca. But when Nebraska releases him,
Speaker 4: when he leaves Nebraska so quickly, it makes you scratch
Speaker 4: your head a little bit. Why Kentucky would kind of
Speaker 4: bring him back when, like Shannon just said, he Stoops
Speaker 4: already said he wants to change the culture and bring
Speaker 4: it back to where it used to be.
Speaker 5: The thing we don't know is how what he was
Speaker 5: in the locker room. Mean, he had he had the
Speaker 5: off field issue and that's bad, but you know that
Speaker 5: receiver room. I think one of the guys that left
Speaker 5: that went to LSU was a big part of the problem.
Speaker 5: I don't know on the day to day how hardly
Speaker 5: Gilmore was behind the scenes. Stoops would know better than anyone.
Speaker 5: They have a new receivers coach. In the two practices
Speaker 5: I've seen that dude. He's not afraid to yell. He
Speaker 5: seems to not put up with some anything. So maybe
Speaker 5: they have him reeled in. But just the perception of
Speaker 5: it does not look good. A guy that has now
Speaker 5: had two issues in two seasons and you're bringing him back.
Speaker 5: He's also very young when he committed here, he was
Speaker 5: like seventeen, true, so maybe he's done some maturing and
Speaker 5: growing that we don't know about. But it doesn't look
Speaker 5: good on the outside of as Stoops is trying to
Speaker 5: clean that up and been so open about having a
Speaker 5: better culture.
Speaker 4: Now here's a quote for somebody very very close to
Speaker 4: the UK football program about Harley Gilmore he said, he's
Speaker 4: really not a bad kid, just needs to grow up.
Speaker 4: He will be number one wide receiver this year. He's
Speaker 4: that good.
Speaker 5: Well, he's always had a lot of potential, and that's
Speaker 5: why I mentioned his age. I mean not to excuse
Speaker 5: his behavior, but he was a kid when he got here.
Speaker 5: I'm supposed to still be in high school. Maybe he's
Speaker 5: matured and grown up and it took kind of falling
Speaker 5: all the way down to the bottom to realize he's
Speaker 5: got a straighten up. Hopefully that's the case, but it
Speaker 5: won't help the criticism around Stoops in that program right now.
Speaker 4: I guess you know. Stoops has also said he's open
Speaker 4: and Matt has even been open about giving him someway
Speaker 4: a second chance. Maybe this is what this kid needs, Channing.
Speaker 4: He he just needs a second chance.
Speaker 2: I mean for a second chance.
Speaker 3: But you know, Stoops is really sticking his neck out
Speaker 3: there for this kid. I feel like, you know, because
Speaker 3: what if he brings them back and then you have
Speaker 3: another issue, then it's yeah, it really looks bad if
Speaker 3: that happens again after his track record that we've already
Speaker 3: talked about.
Speaker 4: But if he gets the right help, maybe he cannot
Speaker 4: just be a better player, be a better person. Maybe
Speaker 4: he can get out of here at Kentucky.
Speaker 6: Sure.
Speaker 5: Yeah, hopefully they've had those conversations. We won't even know
Speaker 5: if they did, but you know, they've had guys in
Speaker 5: the past that other schools didn't want to touch, and
Speaker 5: they took them in and gave him an opportunity.
Speaker 4: It's true.
Speaker 5: I mean, we all liked Lynn Bowden, right. You know
Speaker 5: a lot of schools didn't want to touch Lyn Bowden
Speaker 5: out a high school that turned out okay, yep. So
Speaker 5: you can only I guess you just have to have
Speaker 5: to trust that it's gonna work out. But just as
Speaker 5: it keeps saying, the the optics around it are pretty ugly.
Speaker 4: So we got Drew and Romeo and Juliet, I'm with
Speaker 4: a bunch of engineers, and Shannon is still hanging out
Speaker 4: with Geen Mitchell down at Panama City Beach. We want
Speaker 4: to hear from you. Eight five nine two eight oh
Speaker 4: two two eight seven. That's the Clark Puppe Shop phone number.
Speaker 4: We're right back. Take your calls here on Kentucky's Ports Radio.
Speaker 4: Welcome back, Ryan, Drew and Shann Here in Kentucky's Sports Radio.
Speaker 4: I'm really worried about my engineering joke. Now you shouldn't
Speaker 4: even didn't even chuckle.
Speaker 5: I'm more worried about what you're gonna do when you're
Speaker 5: out of content and there's still twenty five minutes to go.
Speaker 4: Well, you know you can fill the good five ten
Speaker 4: minutes on UK basketball, Okay, five ten minutes in UK football.
Speaker 5: So like when you say you're gonna talk about basketball,
Speaker 5: you're just gonna ask yourself a question. Are you're just
Speaker 5: gonna just start talking about the season or.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the roster? You know all these names that I
Speaker 4: now know who they are?
Speaker 5: What's what's Moe's last name?
Speaker 4: Mohammed Diabate?
Speaker 2: There he is somebody studied.
Speaker 4: But Yellovich, I'm still his first name? How to pronounce
Speaker 4: his first name? Yellovich?
Speaker 5: Andreas?
Speaker 4: Andreas? We think Yellowvich?
Speaker 5: I think I think if you said it like that.
Speaker 2: One, you know it's true.
Speaker 4: Jalen Lowe here we go, point guard. Look at this guy,
Speaker 4: Cam Williams.
Speaker 5: Did you stay at a Holiday and Express?
Speaker 4: I did stay at a Holiday Express last night. We
Speaker 4: got a couple here that well, Anita's here all the time.
Speaker 4: She's up here from Florida, but she brought her nephew, right,
Speaker 4: your nephew, Jared Jordan. He listened to the show all
Speaker 4: the time down in Florida with his first time here,
Speaker 4: so he wel come on board, Jordan.
Speaker 5: We should we should do shows in Florida. That sounds funn.
Speaker 4: Amen, exactly right. And we will have a special guest
Speaker 4: coming up at eleven o'clock, DeAndre Liggins, who just announced
Speaker 4: member of the TBT team. He's gonna join us. He
Speaker 4: can't be here, so we're gonna join us on the
Speaker 4: phone and eleven o'clock. I haven't talked to DeAndre Leiggans
Speaker 4: since he left.
Speaker 5: Have you No. I don't even know that I've really
Speaker 5: talked to him ever. I was I covered that team,
Speaker 5: so there was probably some postgame interviews and stuff, but
Speaker 5: I don't remember him being on the show. I don't
Speaker 5: know him well, but I'm I'm definitely excited to hear
Speaker 5: from him and what he's been up to. I know
Speaker 5: he's had a long pro career. I think it's still
Speaker 5: going and it'll be exciting to add his defense to TBT.
Speaker 5: That's what he was known for. Well.
Speaker 4: They tried to get him last year, him and drown
Speaker 4: both they just didn't work out with their schedules. They
Speaker 4: both committed this year to be on the TBT team,
Speaker 4: so their TBT team here like loading up again for
Speaker 4: this summer's tournament, which we all kind of got on
Speaker 4: the band. We have a lot of fun.
Speaker 5: Last year, I had a blast, other than being assaulted
Speaker 5: in the city of Louisville, I had a great time.
Speaker 5: Looking forward to it moving over to Memorial Coliseum this summer.
Speaker 4: So DeAndre will be here at eleven o'clock talk to us.
Speaker 4: Speaking of former Cats, though, he was seeing what ty
Speaker 4: Tyler Hero did last night.
Speaker 5: He has been on fire, not just last night, but
Speaker 5: like his last ten games. This is the best he's
Speaker 5: played ever in his first All Star year and had
Speaker 5: another big one last night. I uh, I was a
Speaker 5: little surprised the Heat had the season they did and
Speaker 5: they're they're even in the play in game. But he
Speaker 5: put them in a good position last night beating the
Speaker 5: Bulls big time in Chicago.
Speaker 4: He had twenty three points at halftime and was eight
Speaker 4: of eight from the field, didn't miss a shot finishes
Speaker 4: I think with thirty eight points in the win. BAM
Speaker 4: had a big game. Two those two guys, they look
Speaker 4: really good playing out there for the Heat last night.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Bam had a double double. You know, we got it.
Speaker 5: It's on TV right now. I'm looking at the highlights.
Speaker 5: Uh this Cats scattered everywhere, but it's much easier to
Speaker 5: like the heat. And well even the Kings who played
Speaker 5: last night at the team the two Cats, and that's
Speaker 5: probably the biggest the two that are playing the best.
Speaker 4: Yeah. The second game was the Mavericks and the Kings.
Speaker 4: Of course, the Mavericks got Anthony Davis.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's that one's double outs had four Cats in
Speaker 5: that game.
Speaker 4: PJ. Washington, those guys start together. And then the Kings
Speaker 4: had Kevin Knox no on the league, Monk and Malak.
Speaker 4: My Maleak didn't play last night. I don't think I
Speaker 4: think he was injured or something.
Speaker 5: No, he didn't play. But uh, I wish Dearin were
Speaker 5: still on that team. I love them together. But uh,
Speaker 5: Anthony Davis with a big statement the MAVs aage game.
Speaker 5: The MAVs have been a joke ever since that trade.
Speaker 5: That GM still with one of the worst moves of
Speaker 5: all time. But I hate that Anthony Davis has to
Speaker 5: be part of that punchline. So I'm glad he had
Speaker 5: a good game last night with about twenty seven twenty seven.
Speaker 4: I think he had twenty seven, Yeah, so good. Three
Speaker 4: PJ had seventeen.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he might have been the second leading score. PJ
Speaker 5: was a huge part of their run last year to
Speaker 5: the finals. He's the big piece there. So I'll be
Speaker 5: rooting for them also, so.
Speaker 4: That that era from twenty fifteen to two thousand cal
Speaker 4: I mean, well, look, okay, let's go back. The twenty
Speaker 4: fifteen team had nine guys I think they played in
Speaker 4: the NBA, and there's still what Carl, Devin, and Trey
Speaker 4: Lyles although the only three left still playing Carl playing
Speaker 4: in the NBA.
Speaker 5: Yeah, whom, Yeah, I guess that'd be about right.
Speaker 4: Well, that's that is ten years ago.
Speaker 5: Can see that go? Yeah, I mean they had some
Speaker 5: good careers in there. People forget about the team that
Speaker 5: had Knox, Nick Richards, ye Winion. I mean there's a
Speaker 5: that was that team didn't have a lot of tournament success,
Speaker 5: but that team was loaded with with Yeah, leave off.
Speaker 4: Shaye led the NBA and scorings. So yeah, Shae, PJ, Washington,
Speaker 4: Nick Richards, Winyon.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna pull up that roster to make sure we
Speaker 5: get this right. But yeah, I mean they were absolutely.
Speaker 4: Loaded, and then then the next year you get to
Speaker 4: when you get Tyler Hero and PJ playing together.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and there's sixteen wild Keldon Johnson, Yep, there's sixteen
Speaker 5: Wildcats playing in the playoffs right now. Uh, it could
Speaker 5: be more. Jackson's hurt with the Pacers, he's out, and
Speaker 5: Topping was with the Hawks, but he was on a
Speaker 5: two way contract, so we can't play in the playoffs.
Speaker 5: But they've just been There's a lot of guys to
Speaker 5: Jared Vanderbilt with the Lakers bring up very much. He
Speaker 5: was on that team with Shay and Knox. Here I
Speaker 5: have pulled up Knox, Shae, PJ. Diallo was in the
Speaker 5: league for a long time, might still be in there winning, Gabriel,
Speaker 5: Nick Richards, Kaleia Jones, or he didn't make it.
Speaker 4: Vanderbilt, Uh, loaded lots six or seven guys off that team.
Speaker 5: On a team that we don't really I think that
Speaker 5: finally ever didn't have much of a run. They were
Speaker 5: stacked with players. So they're just all over the NBA
Speaker 5: right now. And even at the end of the year,
Speaker 5: you had guys get opportunities like Keon Brooks was playing
Speaker 5: for the Pelicans with Brandon Boston and Antonio Reeves all
Speaker 5: on the same team. So I know we've we've turned
Speaker 5: the page from that era, but there's still a lot
Speaker 5: of guys to root for in the league.
Speaker 4: And that last team and Covid had Maxie quickly a
Speaker 4: couple other guys. You know, they've played very well in
Speaker 4: the NBA. It's it's it's amazing that earrow you look
Speaker 4: back how many NBA players played here. They never even
Speaker 4: made the final four.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's there's that aspect to it. I'm surprised Maxie
Speaker 5: didn't make the playoffs. I thought the Pistons were gonna
Speaker 5: be or uh, the Sixers were going to be a contender.
Speaker 5: He and Booker being at home this time of the
Speaker 5: year feels weird. As good as they are and as
Speaker 5: good as their teams were supposed to be, but neither
Speaker 5: one of them made the playoffs.
Speaker 4: Eight five nine two two two eight seven. That's our
Speaker 4: Clark's pumpings out phone number. So we got first in.
Speaker 4: Let's go to Gene, Gene, go ahead, Gene.
Speaker 7: Yes, sir, I've Geene. Mitchell likes to Kentucky and I
Speaker 7: thought it funny because I'm a singer. Also, I sung
Speaker 7: in nightclubs, the TV and Uh, I was singing to
Speaker 7: Miss Lexington Contest for two years in a row under
Speaker 7: Nick Clooney was the MC had a show on Top
Speaker 7: teen tunes back in the late fifties on w l
Speaker 7: e X with Ronnie Thompson. I sang it was a
Speaker 7: singer on that show. And I've sung in Mickey Mantle's
Speaker 7: place in Dallas, Texas, and so I've done some singing
Speaker 7: around also. So I thought it was really really funny
Speaker 7: that his name was Geen Mitchell. My name was Geen Mitchell.
Speaker 7: I wonder if he copied my name I made somewhere
Speaker 7: in the pass I made eight years old now, so
Speaker 7: he might have seen me somewhere like in Hot Springs
Speaker 7: because it was like it was a casino back then,
Speaker 7: you know, back in the fifties, early fifties before full
Speaker 7: part became the governor. Uh, there was open games, like
Speaker 7: a Vegas. He was like a little Las Vegas. They
Speaker 7: had casino. So I was at the Tower Club there
Speaker 7: for about six months singing there.
Speaker 4: We stay on hold when we got to go to
Speaker 4: a commercial breaks stannhold on Shannon, see if you can
Speaker 4: figure out a way we can play some of his
Speaker 4: stuff if he knows the way we can find it

Speaker 4: played the other Gene Mitchell yesterday. Well, good, thank you
Speaker 4: for calling in, sir. We appreciate that. It's nice to
Speaker 4: talk to you.
Speaker 7: Thank you.
Speaker 4: All right, Yeah, Shan, see if you can figure out
Speaker 4: a way to get some of his stuff and play
Speaker 4: that Gene Mitchell.
Speaker 2: Man, I don't know.
Speaker 3: When I google Gen Mitchell, only one Gen Mitchell pops
Speaker 3: up and that's not that guy.
Speaker 2: Well that's why maybe Panama City Gen Mitchell.
Speaker 4: Maybe he can figure it out and the way to
Speaker 4: send you something. I mean, he played in Mickey Mantle's
Speaker 4: Club for crying out louds true.
Speaker 5: They got to form a band together.
Speaker 4: We'll take our break, come back eight five nine two

Speaker 4: asks Drew, can I shut down the internet while I
Speaker 4: work on I'm here with the network guy, I need

Speaker 5: It was a hard no, hard no for me.
Speaker 4: There's like, we have a show, We're doing the show

Speaker 5: Twelve of all the hours, this is not the one.
Speaker 5: Maybe wait for the.
Speaker 4: Next twelve thirty. But they always show up between ten
Speaker 4: and twelve always.
Speaker 5: Why is it when I need people to come to
Speaker 5: my house and fix something, they never show up for
Speaker 5: three hours later. Had a guy show up at nine
Speaker 5: pm last Friday, which was fine, he did good work,
Speaker 5: but I had been waiting since four.
Speaker 4: Two two week seven. That's our phone number, Shannon. Did
Speaker 4: you get some songs from the other Gene Mitchell that
Speaker 4: just called in?
Speaker 2: No? I can't find his like, there's no track record
Speaker 2: of it. On the internet.
Speaker 3: There's nothing there and I didn't get an eight track
Speaker 3: or anything from him, so no, it's a no go.
Speaker 5: I know his son he texted me and I said,
Speaker 5: we're trying to find music, and he said, no chance.
Speaker 5: So if the son doesn't think we're gonna find this,
Speaker 5: Barry Barry Mitchell, Oh that's his son. Barry texted in,

Speaker 4: music from this Gene Mitchell, we'll play it for you.
Speaker 2: I like that. I'm was telling you during the break.
Speaker 2: I like that.
Speaker 3: We could find an alternate gen Mitchell. But we can't
Speaker 3: find the alternate Mark Pope.
Speaker 4: Oh, there's plenty of them going to the Texters last
Speaker 4: night eight five, nine, two eight two week ten. Let's
Speaker 4: get onto the phone call who we got Shannon Richard? Richard,
Speaker 4: go ahead, Richard.
Speaker 8: Good morning, gentlemen.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 8: I was really impressed with the hero last night. The
Speaker 8: more I'll watch him and killed in Johnson play as
Speaker 8: the pros how and how in the world did we
Speaker 8: not win the national championship that year with those two.
Speaker 5: Kids by Auburn in Kansas City. Hero hit the game
Speaker 5: winner to be Houston. Yeah, Houston, the beginning of their
Speaker 5: little tournament success they've had in the last five six years.
Speaker 5: Hero put them away.
Speaker 8: Another one, another one fs. Oh have you heard anything
Speaker 8: about in the part about Eagle Staff or Tyson? I know,
Speaker 8: I know on Internet it was showing Kentucky was looking
Speaker 8: at them.
Speaker 4: Appreciate her up, all right, good to hear from you. Yeah,
Speaker 4: update on Eagleson. He's the kids staff Eagle Staff. He
Speaker 4: committed to South Carolina and then just decommitted this week
Speaker 4: after two weeks. I think something like that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's a West Virginia guy. Uh Tyson they reached
Speaker 5: out to. I don't know how serious that was. There's
Speaker 5: new names popping up, there's a there's an international player
Speaker 5: that's now maybe in the mix. So they're casting a
Speaker 5: wide net as they're looking for that last spot.
Speaker 4: So Brayden Hawthorne I believe is still on campus or
Speaker 4: he was yesterday. He's the kid from Huntington Prep that
Speaker 4: our buddy Darryl from over there in Belfrey's been talking
Speaker 4: about for a couple of years. I actually saw Bradon
Speaker 4: Hawthorne play in that game against Jasper Johnson's team over
Speaker 4: Woodford County High School last year for the Alvis Johnson showcase.
Speaker 4: How you look, didn't He didn't have his best game
Speaker 4: that game. You know, all the coaches were there. Cal
Speaker 4: was there, Like the West Virginia coach was there. I
Speaker 4: think the Cincinnati coaches there, North Carolina coaches were there.
Speaker 4: They were all there sitting in the front row. Jasper
Speaker 4: had an awesome game. He had like thirty three points,
Speaker 4: like seriously, like ten threes. But the Hawthorne kid didn't
Speaker 4: have his best game that day.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's interesting that they'd go to a freshman. I
Speaker 5: don't know if that would be to fill the role
Speaker 5: that they were looking forward just with Wilkerson, but he
Speaker 5: was on campus and they're pursuing him.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I don't know much about him. I hadn't seen him
Speaker 5: play in person, So your report is what I'll go
Speaker 5: off of there.
Speaker 4: Well, the kid from North Carolina that the Richard just mentioned,
Speaker 4: he's he's not He's not like a superstar or anything
Speaker 4: like that.
Speaker 5: Right he started, Cal actually reached out to him before
Speaker 5: the coaching change for Kentucky, but he hit the portal
Speaker 5: the first time. So he's now been recruited by two
Speaker 5: different eras. He was originally a Belmont but.
Speaker 4: He's but he'd be more like the backup guy probably.
Speaker 5: I mean, he would bring shooting that they need. But
Speaker 5: you know, I don't know who would win that job
Speaker 5: assuming Oway comes back. Uh with Oway and Low, I
Speaker 5: don't know if he would probably be the starter, But
Speaker 5: you know, Jasper he could play his way into it.
Speaker 5: But in how he develops over the summer and gets
Speaker 5: ready for college basketball, That's the thing.
Speaker 4: Jasper can shoot. Man, you're looking for a shooter, he
Speaker 4: can throw him out there. I mean he's yeah, he
Speaker 4: can shoot, he can light it up.
Speaker 5: The thing with him is will he be able to
Speaker 5: defend right away in the sec that over time they're
Speaker 5: not really known as lockdown defenders. But he certainly has
Speaker 5: the jump shot to be a big impact.
Speaker 4: Eight five nine two two two eighty seven. Who's next? Shannon?
Speaker 2: Wayne?
Speaker 4: Wayne? Go ahead? Wayne?
Speaker 9: Hey, what I was calling about was you guys finally
Speaker 9: just mentioned him. They keep talking about needing the shooting
Speaker 9: guard and all wondered, why no one has even mentioned
Speaker 9: Jasper Johnson, and I mean it was like, Okay, we
Speaker 9: got this kid coming in that we know is gonna
Speaker 9: be a one and done and he is a shooting guard.
Speaker 9: He's proved that, and nobody ever talks on him. All all
Speaker 9: everybody talks about is we need another point guard, We
Speaker 9: need another point guard. Well that's what he is.
Speaker 4: I appreciate the phone call. Yeah, Jasper is gonna has
Speaker 4: the talent to someday be a superstar. I really believe that.
Speaker 4: Like Drew said, I think, and he's just get a
Speaker 4: little bigger, a little stronger, a little better defender. But
Speaker 4: they just posted a video of him in an overtime
Speaker 4: Elite workout where he hit twenty two of twenty five
Speaker 4: three points.
Speaker 5: That broke the overtime Elite record in that drill.
Speaker 4: That's pretty good shooting. Yeah, twenty two of twenty five
Speaker 4: three pointers.
Speaker 5: And the answer of why people want to shoot her
Speaker 5: is because we're Kentucky and we want a perfect team
Speaker 5: and we want two of everything. And that's the one
Speaker 5: spot where you could still add another body, but you know,
Speaker 5: we want the perfect roster and that's part of it.
Speaker 5: Even though you've got great pieces all around, it want
Speaker 5: more the twelve guys that could all have a big impact,
Speaker 5: but we we want thirteen.
Speaker 4: We want more, And who's not to say that Otega
Speaker 4: can get that hitch out of his shot and him
Speaker 4: be a knockdown shooter next year.
Speaker 5: And I think Lowe will develop. If you look at Butler,
Speaker 5: he made a big jump in three point shooting coming
Speaker 5: to Kentucky did Lowe had to play a lot of
Speaker 5: hero ball for a terrible Pittsburgh team, So I would
Speaker 5: expect his percentages to increase too when he gets here
Speaker 5: and doesn't have to do quite as much.
Speaker 4: I did see what we're talking about Cam Williams.
Speaker 5: Also, I feel like we don't talk about Cam Williams
Speaker 5: because he committed in the middle of the tournament. He did.
Speaker 5: He can also knock it down.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a guy. I think we do completely overlook,
Speaker 4: especially these new guys we just got. Why not could
Speaker 4: he fill that role?
Speaker 5: I still love the roster as it is, assuming a
Speaker 5: quaintance bounces back and he's able to play in time
Speaker 5: for SEC play. I mean, I still would like to
Speaker 5: see him at a shooter, but I really like what
Speaker 5: they've done so far.
Speaker 4: I did see a former Cat found the new home
Speaker 4: Cameron Fletcher.
Speaker 5: Where did he end up?
Speaker 4: High Point? That's right, high Point, So he's been He
Speaker 4: went from Kentucky to Florida State for a couple of years.
Speaker 4: That's a guy. He played like three games here, got
Speaker 4: in the doghouse and didn't play again. When cal Perry
Speaker 4: was here, he was a highly rated vire.
Speaker 5: The Portal has had a lot of blasts from the
Speaker 5: past with ask you. Jordan Burks was in there, Remember
Speaker 5: Jordan Burks. I was hoping somebody would just build a
Speaker 5: Kentucky leftover team. Dante Allen's into portal. Lots of them
Speaker 5: around there.
Speaker 4: They could have probably had a pretty decent team with Hugo.
Speaker 5: Hugo is on the move, big Z was into Portal City. Yeah, Hugo.
Speaker 5: Uh I saw someone. I don't know if this was
Speaker 5: just someone being wishful thinking online, but an Arkansas account
Speaker 5: was like, should should Calgo get Hugo? It's like that's
Speaker 5: that'd just be a bizarre reunion there in Fayetteville.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 5: A lot of former Cats floating around.
Speaker 2: Who's next, Shannon, who we got Let's go to Paul
Speaker 2: in Minnesota.
Speaker 4: Paul and Minnesota Hello, Paul.
Speaker 10: Hey, guys, I'm I think I'm gonna miss that about
Speaker 10: I'm a big NBA fan, and so I think part
Speaker 10: of what I'm gonna miss is I don't think we're
Speaker 10: going to be putting as many guys in the league. Well,
Speaker 10: obviously what Calvin was on a cross of that, but
Speaker 10: I mean, I don't know, what do you all think?
Speaker 10: Can we get one or two guys in the league
Speaker 10: every every year with Pope?
Speaker 4: It's a great question. Paul appreciate it because, like obviously,
Speaker 4: if you look at this year, if Kobe Bray is
Speaker 4: the only guy on the draft board, maybe Otega can
Speaker 4: work his way and there, maybe Jackson someday can find
Speaker 4: a spot there. But there's no they're not anywhere near
Speaker 4: a first round guy. Can Pope get to the point
Speaker 4: where he's gonna have some first round guys here?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 5: He will. Kentucky has enough nil money to even though
Speaker 5: the one they're building now will still have to wait
Speaker 5: and see. He'll he'll land a big fish either out
Speaker 5: of high school or in the portal that has NBA future.
Speaker 5: I think we won't have the days of the green
Speaker 5: room is just a Kentucky advertisement every summer we got
Speaker 5: used to seeing Cal bounce from table to table. I
Speaker 5: don't know that Pope will ever get to that spot.
Speaker 5: It won't won't be like it's been. But yeah, he'll
Speaker 5: have NBA talent, just not as nearly as much as
Speaker 5: Cal did.
Speaker 4: I mean the guys we mentioned in the first segment.
Speaker 4: Some of those guys are now All Stars Maxie. He wrote,
Speaker 4: Carl Town's been an All Star, Devin Bucker's been an
Speaker 4: All Star, Band's been an All Star. I mean all
Speaker 4: star guys. I don't know if we're ever get back
Speaker 4: to that level again.
Speaker 5: All Star that that's pushed it a little bit. Uh,
Speaker 5: but I think we'll see plenty of NBA talent, maybe
Speaker 5: second round, maybe into the first round. Might have a
Speaker 5: couple of lottery picks over time. But uh, times have
Speaker 5: certainly changed around here. I forgot to even mention Sha
Speaker 5: in the MVP conversation.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no kidding, a guy that came here as a
Speaker 4: backup point guard to Kwad A. Green.
Speaker 5: I remember the press conference when we're sitting there because
Speaker 5: everyone had just assumed Quada was the point guard that
Speaker 5: I believe it was media day. I can almost remember
Speaker 5: the exact seat I was in looking at Cal when
Speaker 5: he's like, you know, I might start Shay And at
Speaker 5: the time we're like what because he had I mean,
Speaker 5: he was a four star, but he wasn't anything like
Speaker 5: what Cal had been signing up to that point. Wasn't
Speaker 5: a lot of accolades around him. And then by the
Speaker 5: time the Louisill game rolled around that year, we knew
Speaker 5: exactly which shall.
Speaker 4: He was the star. He was a superstar, but at the.
Speaker 5: Time we thought that was Quada's team, and that in
Speaker 5: that fall as they were getting ready for the year.
Speaker 4: Well it was supposed to be it was Quad and
Speaker 4: Shaye was brought here as a backup. Didn't work didn't
Speaker 4: quite work out that way. Kwaddy Green went to Washington.
Speaker 4: Whatever happened to him, this good question. He's still bouncing
Speaker 4: around somewhere.
Speaker 5: I have no idea what. We've had a lot of
Speaker 5: some former Cats go to Washington. Ke On Brooks went
Speaker 5: to Washington.
Speaker 4: Keon ended up, you know, playing with the Pelicans at
Speaker 4: the end of the season. So worked out okay for him.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I don't know where Quadda is. That one
Speaker 5: didn't pan out. I'm still still upset with the shot
Speaker 5: he took in the NCAA tournament. Yes, when they were down.
Speaker 5: I remember the exact scenario, but it was not the
Speaker 5: shot we wanted. On the final game for that team.
Speaker 5: Was that his freshman year playing Kansas State? Kansas State,
Speaker 5: he threw up a three I didn't love in the Atlanta.
Speaker 5: I think that game was Atlanta. Al Right, it's kind
Speaker 5: of the phone call Shan who we got.
Speaker 2: Let's go to Mark Anthony, Mark Anthony, go ahead.
Speaker 6: Sir, Good morning, Ryan, Drew and Shannon and Drew to
Speaker 6: uh drawing an analogy with the Righteous Jemstones. You had
Speaker 6: to bear the cross last week, and you done good, boy,
Speaker 6: You've done real good.
Speaker 5: Thank you very much.
Speaker 6: Appreciate that. Yeah. And when you're talking about Hardley Gilmore
Speaker 6: coming back, Uh, first thing, I thought, wait a minute,
Speaker 6: how old is he? Then you said he was seventeen
Speaker 6: here the first trip around. You know, a kid can
Speaker 6: grow a lot between seventeen and twenty. I hope he's
Speaker 6: got his head the right place now. And appreciate that.
Speaker 6: Stoops he is sticking his neckat for him and Buck
Speaker 6: was down and performs. And hey, Ryan, you're going to
Speaker 6: speak to a group of engineers. Yes, sir, I'm jealous
Speaker 6: I'm jealous. I've always wanted to know what it's like
Speaker 6: to drive a train. I hope you find that and
Speaker 6: bring it back and tell us about Tennis.
Speaker 5: See that joke.
Speaker 4: I could use that joke. If that joke would go
Speaker 4: over a little better than my software engineer joke.
Speaker 5: Write that down.
Speaker 4: Take it to.
Speaker 5: There on Gilmore. He was sixteen when he got to campus.
Speaker 5: And to your point there, I also would have been
Speaker 5: kicked off the football team if I were sixteen years
Speaker 5: old running around Lexington with everything.
Speaker 4: That's pretty young, and then you can make young, immature mistakes.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we would be talking about me getting in trouble.
Speaker 5: I think a lot of us at sixteen probably wouldn't
Speaker 5: have been ready to be in an sec locker room.
Speaker 4: Well, obviously it's stoops and vents in the coaches that
Speaker 4: still believe in him as a person, or they wouldn't
Speaker 4: have brought him back for what he's the kind of the
Speaker 4: stubbed his toe a couple of times, getting in trouble
Speaker 4: a little bit. They wouldn't brought him back if they
Speaker 4: thought he was a bad kid.
Speaker 5: I remember Sabin had a big rant thing went viral
Speaker 5: about how given second chances you can't just throw these
Speaker 5: guys away because they make one mistake. So that's that's
Speaker 5: clearly the route Stoops is taken. You just got to
Speaker 5: hope it works out and that the kid, you know,
Speaker 5: went far enough down that he realized he's got to
Speaker 5: straighten up and get on the right path because these guys,
Speaker 5: he has a ton of potential.
Speaker 4: Shanny, you know what I want to tell you about.

Speaker 4: breaking news. Shannon running on a After thirty eight years
Speaker 4: broadcasting and announcing college football pregame shows college football games,
Speaker 4: Lee Corso announces his retirement after week one. So he's
Speaker 4: gonna do the first week, I guess, get his flowers,
Speaker 4: and then he'll step down. College game Day won't be
Speaker 4: the same without him, to be honest in my opinion.
Speaker 5: No, I mean it's you think about him putting on
Speaker 5: that mascot ahead every week. He's been a big part
Speaker 5: of it here lately. You know, he hadn't been able
Speaker 5: to contribute like he did for many years, but it's
Speaker 5: been It's been kind of sweet watching Kirk Herbstreet take
Speaker 5: him under his wing.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 5: You know, he was always there for him. If Lee
Speaker 5: was kind of losing his words, Kirk would step in
Speaker 5: and almost not a big brother because he's much younger,
Speaker 5: but it was it was sweet watching his last couple
Speaker 5: of seasons. And it's gonna stink see him go. I'm
Speaker 5: glad we get one more week with him. I don't
Speaker 5: know where they'll be, but people are gonna lose their
Speaker 5: minds when he puts on the mascot outfit one more time.
Speaker 4: One more time, Shan. It's gonna be kind of weird
Speaker 4: not having him there on the set on the college
Speaker 4: game day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, an absolute legend of the game.
Speaker 3: And you're right, Drew, I mean Herbstreet just taking Corso,
Speaker 3: you know, like you said, under his wing.
Speaker 2: And taking care of him.
Speaker 3: If it weren't for Herbstreet, you know, the Corso would
Speaker 3: have retired a couple of years ago. So I think
Speaker 3: we have Herb streight to think that we had course
Speaker 3: over the last couple of seasons on the pregame shows.
Speaker 5: Now do Seth green Bird? Just kidding, kind of kidding.
Speaker 4: Also some other news, the NCAA announced they're finally gonna
Speaker 4: make some rule changes aimed at cracking down on fake
Speaker 4: injuries in college football games. So they can't just all
Speaker 4: of a sudden miraculously be walking across the field and
Speaker 4: somebody signals for him to fall down and they fall
Speaker 4: down just to stop the clock. Can't do that. They're
Speaker 4: gonna crack down on that now.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he got out of hand. He got out of hand.
Speaker 5: Oh Miss was really bad at it, for being honest.
Speaker 5: Kentucky did it several times. It's just it got hard
Speaker 5: to watch it. Just like soccer, you just have guys
Speaker 5: flopping out of nowhere to stop the clock. I'm glad
Speaker 5: they cleaned it up. And Ryan, why did all of
Speaker 5: Wayne County just walk into the bar thirty people just
Speaker 5: walked in wearing Wayne County shirts. Did you book a
Speaker 5: Wayne County?
Speaker 4: What is it for? I have to go find out.
Speaker 5: I don't know who are you talking to? Were you just
Speaker 5: talking to error? Right there?
Speaker 4: I thought he was looking at me. He wasn't looking
Speaker 4: at me. I think I was looking right at me
Speaker 4: way over there.
Speaker 5: We're good to have Wayne County in the house. They
Speaker 5: just rolled in deep.
Speaker 4: H and when one more kind of breaking new subject.
Speaker 4: It looks like I'm a Leva. I'm a Leva Nico
Speaker 4: transferring to UCLA.
Speaker 5: Somebody got him well at cheap rate.
Speaker 4: You thought it would be one of the big, bigger
Speaker 4: schools that could probably at least spend some money on him.
Speaker 4: I don't know if he's gonna get the two the
Speaker 4: four million he was wanting, but he's gonna get something
Speaker 4: to the UCLA.
Speaker 5: His brother was there and just transferred out. So that's weird.
Speaker 5: You think of his brother left UCLA and the family
Speaker 5: might be done with UCLA. But I guess not. And
Speaker 5: I saw that they said part of the reason they
Speaker 5: left Tennessee was they didn't like the offense. I don't
Speaker 5: think it's a quarterback you would like Tennessee's offense. But whatever,
Speaker 5: good luck to him. I still think it's a terrible move.
Speaker 5: There's no way he's getting what Tennessee was paying him.
Speaker 4: And it hurts Tennessee because if their backup quarterback I
Speaker 4: think left during the portal season, so now they're down
Speaker 4: to like a red shirt freshman being their number one quarterback.
Speaker 5: I think right now, oh, there'll still somebody. I know
Speaker 5: Hypel's saying, oh, we like the guys we have. But
Speaker 5: with the portal being back open, you'll see a name
Speaker 5: go in, yeah, and we'll all know what direction he's heading.
Speaker 5: If it's a big time quarterback.
Speaker 4: Probably already taken care of because the portal, the second
Speaker 4: portal just opened, so he may see that announcement become
Speaker 4: pretty quick that they've signed another quarterback.
Speaker 5: Tennessee has all that money Nico didn't get. They can
Speaker 5: go spend and get it. Get a big fish somewhere.
Speaker 4: Soul not in the SEC.
Speaker 5: You can't. You can't transfer to the conference, so uh,
Speaker 5: you know, Calzada bowling, they can't touch any of those guys.
Speaker 4: But uh, I'm a Leva, I'm a Leva, I'm a Leva.
Speaker 4: Just Nico. I think the reports even yesterday were he's
Speaker 4: probably have to go to a JUCO or a smaller
Speaker 4: school and then make the jump to a big ten
Speaker 4: school or a bigger school. But UCLA reached out, I
Speaker 4: guess and they worked out a deal with him.
Speaker 5: Yeah, even summerw was considered him at two lane and
Speaker 5: then even they were like, nop, not touching this one.
Speaker 5: So u c l it is.
Speaker 4: And like we said, Paul Finebaum's been like critical of
Speaker 4: Leva and told him don't touch him. Just don't touch
Speaker 4: the guy. They could be kryptonite.
Speaker 5: Well, you didn't want him to go get the money
Speaker 5: he was asking for because that kind of sets the
Speaker 5: president and lets other players do the same. The sport
Speaker 5: needed to make a statement with him demanding more money
Speaker 5: at the end of spring practice because UCLA caved. But
Speaker 5: ye can't imagine they're paying what he wants.
Speaker 4: So the Tyler Childers concert is Saturday over at Kroger Field.
Speaker 4: We're gonna have a Tyler Childers like pregame party here
Speaker 4: at the cast Bar and Grill will be playing Tyler's
Speaker 4: songs all day so he can come over here before
Speaker 4: the concert, come back after the concert will be open
Speaker 4: and if you come into one of our establishments here
Speaker 4: on our neighbors. You can park in our parking lot.
Speaker 4: You can't park here and then just leave. You got
Speaker 4: to come and, you know, spend some money at one
Speaker 4: of our restaurants and we'll let you park out here
Speaker 4: in our parking lot, which is really as good as
Speaker 4: you're gonna get.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm going to the concert. I'm gonna pregame here
Speaker 5: at the bar myself, so hope we have a good crowd.
