Speaker 1: Italian Dining in Lexington. My co host is in Louisville, Kentucky.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Shannon. Happy April Fool's Day.
Speaker 2: That's right, I'm doing fine and no corny April Fool's
Speaker 2: Day joke for me. I mean I like the prank people,
Speaker 2: but no like stupid joke, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Like I like the I like physical pranks. I don't
Speaker 2: mean like physically harming anybody. I just mean like, you know,
Speaker 2: I might stick a rubber snake in your bag or
Speaker 2: something like that.
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, or the whoopee cushion you look like, you know,
Speaker 1: the whoopee cushion type of guy.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: You know in wrestling, you know that's a thing in
Speaker 2: the locker room they call it ribbing. You rib each
Speaker 2: other with things like that, and uh, there's some guys
Speaker 2: that love to do some ribbing. When you know you're
Speaker 2: just sitting around waiting for your match to happen, sometimes
Speaker 2: somebody will sneak something into your bag.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I thought about starting the show saying
Speaker 1: this would be our last show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1: Radio stations have gotten in some pretty hot water in
Speaker 1: the past for like contest, Hey, come win a truck
Speaker 1: when they get there. It's a toy truck, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. Like, radio stations are ripe for bad
Speaker 1: April fool jokes.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing, Like if you believe that, though, some
Speaker 2: of that's on you.
Speaker 1: Because it's the day and you just gotta be aware
Speaker 1: on day.
Speaker 2: You're like me, like my guard is really high on
Speaker 2: April Fool's Day, but I don't believe what most people
Speaker 2: say the other days of the year, So why would
Speaker 2: I believe you on April Fool's Day. Like I'm skeptical
Speaker 2: of everybody every day of the year.
Speaker 1: I like that attitude. You just go you go throughout
Speaker 1: life with that every single day. The problem is, if
Speaker 1: you don't know it's a April Fool's Day, it can
Speaker 1: be a really weird time. I already got fulled twice
Speaker 1: this morning before I knew what the date was.
Speaker 2: Billy.
Speaker 1: The first one said, Devin ask you was transferring to Kentucky.
Speaker 1: And I maybe should have thought that one was fake Shannon,
Speaker 1: because he can't come back to Kentucky, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm surprised that guy's still playing college basketball. And then
Speaker 1: the other one was Tiger Woods was going to be
Speaker 1: playing in the Masters just three weeks after tearing his
Speaker 1: achilles and I wanted to believe that Shannon, and I
Speaker 1: did for maybe moments. But just keep your head on
Speaker 1: a swivel, folks. Today is the day I thought I
Speaker 1: was getting an April Fool's joke when I walked in
Speaker 1: this morning. You know Rachel right, you've played pickleball again, so.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Rachel Cyril's girls, Rachel Well.
Speaker 1: I walked in and was getting coffee and said good
Speaker 1: morning to Rachel, and Rachel said, good morning, Billy boy,
Speaker 1: you look rough this morning. Is everything all right? I
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, everything's fine. I thought shot April Fools
Speaker 1: was coming, right Shannon, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, April Fools. Rachel's awesome. By the way, I say,
Speaker 2: I beat her in pickleball. That's a lot she beat.
Speaker 2: She beat my button pickleball. She's good. Yeah, well, you
Speaker 2: know what, at least she's honest with you, though. I mean,
Speaker 2: do I look that rough this morning? Shannon? Like I didn't.
Speaker 2: The bangs aren't out. I've got a hat on and
Speaker 2: the bangs are kind of out, and I can see
Speaker 2: him poking through there. We of course has gotten really
Speaker 2: long too, so I, you know, maybe I need to
Speaker 2: cut my hair too. But she said, man, you're looking
Speaker 2: rough this morning. Everything all right? I mean, I would
Speaker 2: just tell you this. You're not looking any rougher than
Speaker 2: you do every other morning.
Speaker 1: Oh, thank you. So it's just my natural beauty. I
Speaker 1: guess maybe I've just become one of those don't talk
Speaker 1: to me till I get my coffee type of people.
Speaker 1: I just that comes out on my face as well.
Speaker 1: So I don't think I've.
Speaker 2: Told you that I'm slowly morphing you into me slowly.
Speaker 2: The haircut, I don't. I don't know if I like this.
Speaker 1: You be on stage and tell your Billy the Dude
Speaker 1: next Yeah, well, I thought you had snapped yesterday. I
Speaker 1: thought Shannon the Dude had finally had enough ks are
Speaker 1: kind of like cut out in the middle of the
Speaker 1: the last segment. And then instead of hearing the last
Speaker 1: segment of KSR yesterday on Lap, we heard The Price
Speaker 1: Is Right directly on WLAP Shan and I had thought
Speaker 1: you had turned heel finally on these guys.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I was getting all these tweets after
Speaker 2: the show was over, and I had no clue what
Speaker 2: was going on. So I actually caught up Ryan, I'm like,
Speaker 2: why are we getting tweets saying that The Price Is
Speaker 2: Right was on the air instead of KSR yesterday, And
Speaker 2: he said, well, he explained it. I'll let you explain
Speaker 2: it here in just a minute. But look, I know,
Speaker 2: like The Price is Right taking over KSR. I am
Speaker 2: suspect number one numero unil because I have openly spoken
Speaker 2: about my love and affection for The Price Is Right,
Speaker 2: the greatest game show that was ever created, and how
Speaker 2: much I loved Bob Barker. And you know, when we
Speaker 2: were in Milwaukee, Drew Franklin and I we sat up
Speaker 2: late into the night while everybody else was asleep. We
Speaker 2: were up at like one thirty two o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 2: We found on Pluto Billy you know they've got like
Speaker 2: the the twenty four to seven Prices right channel. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So so Drew and I are sitting up till like
Speaker 2: two two thirty in the morning watching reruns of The
Speaker 2: Prices Right, and we were bidding. I'm telling you what, man,
Speaker 2: when I figured out what year it was on there,
Speaker 2: that's the thing you got to find out, like, Okay,
Speaker 2: inflation's hit us, all right, but we're got to like
Speaker 2: try to figure out what year we're watching of Drew
Speaker 2: Carey based on his weight. So like when Drew Carey
Speaker 2: was really heavy, We're like, okay, Bob Barker retired in
Speaker 2: two thousand and seven, this has to be like seven, eight,
Speaker 2: maybe nine. So you got to like, when you're watching
Speaker 2: the Prices Right reruns, you got to think, Okay, what
Speaker 2: were prices back then? And then if you watch a
Speaker 2: rerun where he's really skinny, like, oh, this is a
Speaker 2: more recent one, so you have to, you know, bump
Speaker 2: up your prices due to inflation. So the breakdown so
Speaker 2: once where you finally figured out, Okay, Drew's a little
Speaker 2: hefty here, not not Drew Franklin, Drew Carrey is a
Speaker 2: little hefty here. This is probably around nine and I
Speaker 2: had a couple of them, Billy where I was within
Speaker 2: five bucks. You're pretty that much of the car I
Speaker 2: was dialed in and we were having a lot of
Speaker 2: fun doing that. Anyway, back to yesterday, how did that happen?
Speaker 2: How did the Price is Right take over the last
Speaker 2: segment of KSR? What happened? It was not me, by
Speaker 2: the way, I promise you it was I had no
Speaker 2: idea what was going on. It was not me.
Speaker 1: What happened now this time, it was not Shannon. You know,
Speaker 1: we had those that severe weather just the night before,
Speaker 1: and we had some issues taking the WKYT feed on WLAP.
Speaker 1: So I think the engineers were working on sending macros
Speaker 1: so that we could take the TV feed when we
Speaker 1: need to during severe weather, and they decided to test
Speaker 1: it during the end of KSR.
Speaker 2: Shit, and you know, there was.
Speaker 1: Just a wrong time to do that, But we did
Speaker 1: get a little bit of prices right during the last segment.
Speaker 1: If you listened on LAP yesterday, that's why you got
Speaker 1: to listen live, folks. I mean, that's the incentive. That's
Speaker 1: why you listen to the pregame shows. We don't post
Speaker 1: it on podcasts. The incentive to listen live. You never know,
Speaker 1: maybe if you listen to KSR, you'll just get a
Speaker 1: little Drew Carrey to in your day.
Speaker 2: It did sound like from people's tweets that they were
Speaker 2: giving away a really good vacation package yesterday. What you know,
Speaker 2: as somebody who loves to vacation, if I could, if
Speaker 2: I could like transport myself teleport from KSR into the
Speaker 2: Showcase showdown, I would rather be there to win that
Speaker 2: vacation package. Well, don't worry, you got vacation right around
Speaker 2: the corner, dudes, and it comes with a Ryan Lemon
Speaker 2: taking Ryan with you.
Speaker 1: And then Matt's not going to be here. Mario's gone
Speaker 1: that week too. Drew Palooza is going to be ended
Speaker 1: up me helping and what guests he can bring in.
Speaker 1: So I'm looking forward to that week. I do need
Speaker 1: a ruling here from you. Shannon Fair old foul about
Speaker 1: Matt talking yesterday about inviting himself over to people's houses
Speaker 1: to eat food. Now, he did say that he brings
Speaker 1: over food, which is great. He's not just calling Hubby
Speaker 1: up and saying what's for dinner. Yeah, But Shannon, there's
Speaker 1: some times when I don't want people to come over
Speaker 1: and see the house.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: It's a nice gesture from Matt, But would you accept
Speaker 1: the offer if he said he was bringing some fizzolis over?
Speaker 2: So yes, First of all, that call has never happened
Speaker 2: before in the fifteen years I've known Matt. I am
Speaker 2: one of these people that actually love surprise visitors at
Speaker 2: my house if I know you, like if you're a
Speaker 2: good friend to me. I don't know that there's anything
Speaker 2: that makes me happier than a good friend showing up unannounced.
Speaker 2: I know I'm in the minority there. I know, like
Speaker 2: all of my friends are like I need to know,
Speaker 2: like when you're coming over you, I need to know
Speaker 2: like a week in advance, which which I think is weird,
Speaker 2: Like what do you you got to hide the body
Speaker 2: or what are you doing? Like what what do you
Speaker 2: a little bit? You don't want to see my bathroom? Yeah,
Speaker 2: but no, I love you, know, and as long as
Speaker 2: you're like if you're a telemarketer, no go away. I
Speaker 2: don't want a surprise visitor from the you know, like Billy,
Speaker 2: if you randomly showed up at my house, that would
Speaker 2: make me happy, as long as I didn't have, you know,
Speaker 2: things to do if it was on like a random
Speaker 2: Saturday afternoon and you just showed up, I'd be like, yeah, man,
Speaker 2: good to see it. Come on in. I'd probably you know,
Speaker 2: i'd probably cook you something.
Speaker 1: Well, we all have your address, so you're telling me
Speaker 1: if people want to show up, I know you can
Speaker 1: get you money, you know, maybe hang out with the dude.
Speaker 2: No, you didn't hear me. You're not listening to me.
Speaker 2: If I know you, if I consider you a good
Speaker 2: friend and you show up, I like that. Otherwise I
Speaker 2: got I don't need you to tell me. You know,
Speaker 2: five days before that you're coming over. Come on over, man,
Speaker 2: We'll fire up the grill, we'll grab a Bruski, a
Speaker 2: Shannon to the dude brew and have a good time.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: I'm a little surprised by that the man that has
Speaker 1: such a secret personal life would be willing to have
Speaker 1: people pop over and hang out.
Speaker 2: And again, I have such a small group of friends,
Speaker 2: though that only applies to like maybe ten people in
Speaker 2: this world probably likes okay, yeah, probably seven or eight. Well,
Speaker 2: I you know, I kind of had a different approach
Speaker 2: of this. In the same vein.
Speaker 1: I can't think of something that makes me happier than
Speaker 1: when I have plans made and then somebody cancels them.
Speaker 2: You like that, I'd love it, Shannon.
Speaker 1: You're telling me I've got plans and somebody calls up
Speaker 1: and says, hey, something's happened. I got to take my
Speaker 1: dog to the vet, or you know, you know, I
Speaker 1: got to go see my parents instead, and we can't
Speaker 1: go out tonight. I'm getting in the PJS and I get.
Speaker 2: To be a for the rest of you. Can you
Speaker 2: become Oh?
Speaker 1: I love it when I have plans and then somebody
Speaker 1: cancels on it.
Speaker 2: Then why did you make plans to begin with? I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know, like this pure pressure and this need
Speaker 1: to socialize.
Speaker 2: I guess I got things to say about this. I
Speaker 2: hate when a friend makes a plan with me and
Speaker 2: they cancel on me. That talk about something that would
Speaker 2: make me more I don't know what would make me
Speaker 2: more mad than that. So you're the exact opposite. Don't
Speaker 2: waste my time telling me that we're gonna hang out
Speaker 2: tonight and then you don't show up or you cancel
Speaker 2: on me. So I would rather you just show up
Speaker 2: out of the blue and hang out, then say okay,
Speaker 2: we're gonna plan this out and we got you know,
Speaker 2: a week ahead of time. We're gonna go out on
Speaker 2: Friday night, and then you call up and you don't
Speaker 2: show up. Oh I hate it.
Speaker 1: I'll make plans and think about it all week, and
Speaker 1: I realized that I gotta get dressed, and then they
Speaker 1: call in and they're like, hey, can't do it tonight,
Speaker 1: We'll have to reschedule.
Speaker 2: Oh that's fine. I'm bumping.
Speaker 4: Who are you?
Speaker 2: Who have you become? What do you mean? I think
Speaker 2: I'm in the majority here. My thing is again, if
Speaker 2: you wanted to hang out of your pj's on a
Speaker 2: Friday night and go to bed at eight o'clock, why
Speaker 2: even make plans to begin with? Just tell your friends no,
Speaker 2: make an excuse, say I've got something else going on.
Speaker 2: How is it that I act younger than you and
Speaker 2: I'm how how much older am I than you?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: Fifteen years?
Speaker 1: I mean, hell, we could get to twenty. I think
Speaker 1: you're pushing fifty, right.
Speaker 2: I'm not pushing fifty. Get out of here. Yeah, you're ridiculous.
Speaker 2: I can't believe you, though, So you so you say,
Speaker 2: do not show up at your house un announced? Don't
Speaker 2: do it.
Speaker 1: I love hanging out with pals and friends. But just
Speaker 1: just be weary that if you cancel plans.
Speaker 2: I'm not that upset. What I'm gonna do. I can
Speaker 2: find plans to do. Here's what I'm gonna do. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna make plans with you next Friday night, and then
Speaker 2: I'm gonna call on Friday at five o'clock and I'm
Speaker 2: gonna cancel on you. See, I don't like that, Like
Speaker 2: I don't want you. You just said you want that.
Speaker 2: You just said you like that.
Speaker 1: No, I do like when there's the anticipation and I'm
Speaker 1: dreading it. You're just telling me that you're gonna cancel
Speaker 1: on me like that, I know it's coming. It's not
Speaker 1: the same. So okay, all right, Well, I'd love to
Speaker 1: hear from you guys today, maybe in April Fool's rank
Speaker 1: that you've done or one that's gone wrong. I think
Speaker 1: of the one Marissa did on me where she put
Speaker 1: a cardboard sign on the back of my car that
Speaker 1: said honk if you love Andy Basher and see.
Speaker 2: I love her sense of humor. That's something I would do.
Speaker 2: I love I love that. That's great, But you know,
Speaker 2: April fool of jokes can go too far right.
Speaker 1: I mean like don't fake a pregnancy today, like don't
Speaker 1: don't get down on one knee and fake and engagement.
Speaker 1: You want to ruin a relationship, that's a great way
Speaker 1: to do it. There's a lot of things that can
Speaker 1: go wrong today, So we would love to hear from you.
Speaker 1: Eight five nine two eight oh two two eight seven.
Speaker 1: We'll take a break and come back. We'll talk a
Speaker 1: little bit about the transfer portal. That's the news of
Speaker 1: the time and sports as of now. I've got some
Speaker 1: fun things to talk about and the McDonald's All American
Speaker 1: Games tonight, Shannon, so there is something that we can watch.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about some nonsense and some other sports topics.
Speaker 2: Along the way.
Speaker 1: It is the show before the show. It is the Case,
Speaker 1: our pre show. A couple of fools on April's Fool's Day.
Speaker 1: It's Billy Rutledge and Shannon. The dude gives call a
Speaker 1: five nine two eight oh two two eight seven. You
Speaker 1: know always text us at five oh two two sixty
Speaker 1: five six six five six, where one person says, oh
Speaker 1: my god, Billy, nothing like canceled plans when you weren't
Speaker 1: really looking forward to it. That hits harder than Tyson.
Speaker 1: So I got one person in my camp. I asked
Speaker 1: this person how old they are. They haven't responded yet,
Speaker 1: because Shannon, you were saying during the break, they may
Speaker 1: Maybe you think it's a generational thing.
Speaker 2: I think maybe the younger generation just wants to be
Speaker 2: nice to everybody, so they'll they will agree to anything
Speaker 2: just to be nice, but then they secretly don't want
Speaker 2: to go.
Speaker 3: Me.
Speaker 2: On the other hand, if you try to plan something
Speaker 2: with me that I don't want to do, I will
Speaker 2: straight up tell you I don't want to do it,
Speaker 2: or I'll create an excuse to not do it. That's
Speaker 2: the difference I think between. I mean, maybe that's not
Speaker 2: a generational thing. I'm just guessing here.
Speaker 1: I mean maybe, well, this person says, there's twenty six okay,
Speaker 1: checks outser to me than you.
Speaker 2: That checks out.
Speaker 1: You know, there is a point where you get to
Speaker 1: an age where you just don't care anymore, so you'd
Speaker 1: be willing to say no to things.
Speaker 2: I think, yes, I think I hit that age at
Speaker 2: twenty one. You got there twenty one. That's just your
Speaker 2: person out, That's just who I am.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 2: You can't take life too seriously.
Speaker 1: You just can't that's right, and that is a great
Speaker 1: transition to tell people and fans of Big Blue Nation
Speaker 1: to calm down when it comes to the Transfer portal.
Speaker 1: If there's a guy that enters the portal and he
Speaker 1: doesn't immediately come to Kentucky, Shannon, that is not it
Speaker 1: is not the time to freak out. I mean, the
Speaker 1: way that Mark Pope constructed his roster just last year
Speaker 1: goes to show you that these there's gonna be more
Speaker 1: guys that enter the portal in the coming days, in
Speaker 1: the coming weeks, and there is going to be time
Speaker 1: for this to happen, even though the house settlement could
Speaker 1: be coming as early as next Monday. But Shannon, we
Speaker 1: had over sixteen hundred players have entered to Transfer portal
Speaker 1: since it opened just a week and so we can
Speaker 1: change a go. And we got some news yesterday Bryce Hopkins,
Speaker 1: the former Kentucky player, will joined Rick Bettino at Saint John's.
Speaker 1: We also got the news that Kerkkrisa and Big Z
Speaker 1: at Arkansas will enter the portal, which one of those
Speaker 1: announcements intrigues you the most, Shannon, Well, I think we
Speaker 1: kind of knew kerk Cresa. We talked about that and
Speaker 1: then an hour yesterday and then an hour later it
Speaker 1: was announced that Kirk Crisa was transferring uh, Bryce Hopkins
Speaker 1: to Saint John's. Is interesting to me because if you
Speaker 1: remember Bryce Hopkins the year he was at Kentucky was
Speaker 1: my favorite player.
Speaker 4: I loved him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I went out. I remember going to the summer
Speaker 2: camp with the Kentucky players were working with like a
Speaker 2: youth league, and I go, man, who is that guy?
Speaker 2: He looks like a beast out there. And I don't
Speaker 2: know that his full potential was ever realized at Kentucky.
Speaker 2: I remember he had like one breakout game against LSU
Speaker 2: at Rapperina. Other than that, like, I don't think there
Speaker 2: was a whole lot of standout games that he had.
Speaker 2: Of course, we played against him when he was at
Speaker 2: Providence in the NCAA tournament, right, remember that. But I
Speaker 2: think that Rick Patino will pull out whatever potential whatever
Speaker 2: that you know, the greatest potential that Bryce Hopkins has.
Speaker 2: Rick Patino is the type of coach that can bring
Speaker 2: that out. I think it's a smart move for Bryce
Speaker 2: to go to Saint John's. What do you think?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you uh, I mean, if you can
Speaker 1: put up with those practices, I mean, it's it's not
Speaker 1: like it's not every other coach, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like you've you've got to buy into what Rick Patino's
Speaker 1: selling and and he he'll turn you into a ballplayer.
Speaker 2: There's no doubt.
Speaker 1: Look at the turner rounds he's had and the success
Speaker 1: that he's had at so many different schools. So I
Speaker 1: think Bryce can become even much more of a success
Speaker 1: with Rick. Do you want Big Z at Kentucky? I mean,
Speaker 1: I know we think his style would fit.
Speaker 2: We certainly wanted him here when he was When he
Speaker 2: was here.
Speaker 1: Well, we put up a billboard billboard, yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: we wanted the guy to play. He had an electric
Speaker 1: moment the first time he checked in. There were times
Speaker 1: where he wasn't strong enough. He's he's got, He's he's
Speaker 1: gotten a little bit bigger shan. Do you think that
Speaker 1: there is a place for him at Kentucky.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think I don't think we want
Speaker 2: to run that back. I think we've already seen big Z.
Speaker 2: You know, there was times where he struggled a lot
Speaker 2: this year with Arkansas. Maybe it was because of his
Speaker 2: under Calipari's system. I don't know. I don't think I
Speaker 2: want big Z back. I will tell you though, if
Speaker 2: big Z had just never played again after that first game,
Speaker 2: was it against Georgia at Rupp where he just went off?
Speaker 2: I forget who it was.
Speaker 1: Maybe I think you think you're right. It may I
Speaker 1: think it was George.
Speaker 2: Well, anyway, if he'd have just you know, came in,
Speaker 2: knocked down all those threes and then never played again,
Speaker 2: we'd be like, man, this is the greatest college basketball
Speaker 2: player of all time. But uh No, I don't think
Speaker 2: I want big Z back at Kentucky. What do you think?
Speaker 1: I don't think I do either, And not to think
Speaker 1: that it couldn't work out. You know, I think Mark
Speaker 1: Pope's system could be exciting with big Z. I think
Speaker 1: he could definitely bring a dimension. I just I don't know, Shannon.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of ready to move on, are you.
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean to your overall bigger point. You said, there's
Speaker 2: sixteen hundred players in the transfer portal. We only need
Speaker 2: a few. We don't need them all. True. So Mark
Speaker 2: Pope could swing a miss on a lot of guys
Speaker 2: and still end up with a really good team coming
Speaker 2: up next year. He's already got a couple of good transfers.
Speaker 1: And like you know, big Z was playing a lot
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year, hitting the final shots
Speaker 1: for Arkansas, then barely played at the end of the year.
Speaker 1: So I don't know if Cal lost confidence in the
Speaker 1: guy or if there was a health issue, but you
Speaker 1: know he is. He has been a very up and
Speaker 1: down player. But just get ready for it. Transfer portal
Speaker 1: is gonna be wild over the next week or so,
Speaker 1: and stick around to the pre show and KSR will
Speaker 1: keep you up to date on all Kentucky players and
Speaker 1: their comings and goings, including Scoop Lemon, who said yesterday
Speaker 1: that the San Diego State forward Magoon Gwath, I believe
Speaker 1: is how you say it is somebody to look after.
Speaker 1: So Shannon, wyn't you just put that down in your
Speaker 1: ledger as somebody to keep your eye on?
Speaker 2: Okay, Magoon? How do you spell that last name? G
Speaker 2: w a t oh Gwath? Okay, Yeah, there you go, Magoon.
Speaker 1: And I don't think you can do this yet on DraftKings,
Speaker 1: but maybe there'll be a day you can bet on
Speaker 1: where a player will land in the transfer portal. But Shannon,
Speaker 1: that's where you should do all your gambling purposes on
Speaker 1: deaf that's right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the finals are here. The only thing that's for
Speaker 2: sure is the last time you can bet on college
Speaker 2: basketball this season coming up with the Final Four, and
Speaker 2: you can do it on Draft Kings sportsbook. If you're

Speaker 1: A caller asked Mark Pope on The Mark Pope Collins
Speaker 1: Show last night, straight up if he would be interested
Speaker 1: in Big Z coming back. Mark Pope can't comment, I
Speaker 1: guess that's just like recruiting. Shannon, he cannot make a
Speaker 1: comment on that, but he did describe the transfer portal
Speaker 1: as chaos.
Speaker 2: It's brilliant and beautiful. Beautiful. There's that word beautiful. Everything's beautiful.
Speaker 2: It's a beautiful world.
Speaker 1: When you're Mark Pope, it's a beautiful world. And we
Speaker 1: will go to our beautiful callers now eight five nine
Speaker 1: two two two eight seven.
Speaker 2: Who's up first? The beautiful freebird is first?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: Are you freebird?
Speaker 3: Hey?
Speaker 4: I have I guess I've earned the right as first color.
Speaker 4: So good morning. How's every body doing?
Speaker 2: We're doing?
Speaker 4: There?
Speaker 3: You go?
Speaker 2: What's going on?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 4: I was gonna ask you a question. This as goes
Speaker 4: along with you know, ze, I guess Caler Perry's feathers
Speaker 4: are going to get hurt by him a transfer. And
Speaker 4: do you know if there's ever been a transfer that
Speaker 4: played in the school plant and came back again to
Speaker 4: the Saint School. I don't think I've ever heard of one.
Speaker 2: I didn't know if you guys made you mean, like
Speaker 2: just in general, we're at Kentucky. I think it's happened
Speaker 2: before at another school. Yeah, I think it has happened.
Speaker 2: I can't remember the player or the school, but I
Speaker 2: think I remember it happening. I don't think it's ever
Speaker 2: happened to Kentucky though, and you know, under a new coach,
Speaker 2: I'm not you know, it depends on if Mark Pope
Speaker 2: is even interested in Big Z And we can't really
Speaker 2: tell because he can't comment on it right now. But
Speaker 2: that's an interesting question.
Speaker 4: But I tell you, oh, h Latino is going to
Speaker 4: have Bryce Humpkins in the bench ship of his life. Man,
Speaker 4: he was a good ball player, like you said, his
Speaker 4: potential when he was here. But he's a big, strong,
Speaker 4: solid kid. He looks like he ought to be playing Easton.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, totally agree. Thanks for the call, free Bird.
Speaker 2: Good to hear from you. Thank you, free Bird. Did
Speaker 2: you find out if there's I think there has been?
Speaker 2: It is possible.
Speaker 1: I have not seen an example listed, at least in
Speaker 1: the quick Google search that I'm doing now, but I
Speaker 1: would I would think that it is. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: sure guys enter the transporportal all the time and think,
Speaker 1: oh boy, there's no really place for me to land,
Speaker 1: so one you can return there. But for a guy
Speaker 1: to go to another school and then eventually come back.
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes you figure out the grass isn't always greener.
Speaker 2: On the other side, right, that's right. Yeah, I'll tell
Speaker 2: you what. The Atlanta Braves keep bringing back. I can't
Speaker 2: think of his name right now. Good grief. The Atlanta
Speaker 2: Braves are terrible. They keep bringing back this this relief picture.
Speaker 2: He's been with the team now seven different times. Well,
Speaker 2: the Braves are terrible. They're terrible. They're awful. Went five.
Speaker 2: Maybe they need to trade them again. Their players just suspend.
Speaker 1: An eighty games for PDS, I believe, I mean, it
Speaker 1: is a mess.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that their uh left fielder is out. Jesse Shavez
Speaker 2: is the guy I'm trying to think of. Jesse Shaveez
Speaker 2: has been with the Braves now seven different times, seven times.
Speaker 2: So like he's left and then come back, and then
Speaker 2: come back to left, then come back left and come
Speaker 2: back seven different homes.
Speaker 1: Well, he doesn't own any houses. I'm sure he's just renting.
Speaker 1: He's rotail. Yeah, I five nine two, I know, two
Speaker 1: two eighty seven. Give us a call. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: the Yankees cheating in baseball maybe a little later in
Speaker 1: the show and other nonsense on the way here on
Speaker 1: the KSR pre show.
Speaker 2: I don't know why. This is just the sound of
Speaker 2: there we go. All right?
Speaker 1: He got caught on the intro of a song. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I hate Look what.
Speaker 2: I'm producing and co hosting and trying to look up
Speaker 2: stuff and try to do two people's jobs. Sometimes you
Speaker 2: get really awkward entrances like that. I didn't know what
Speaker 2: was going on.
Speaker 1: But that's like a play a music video and they've
Speaker 1: they've started an engine starting instead of the Actually I was.
Speaker 2: Going to play a song, but then I got caught
Speaker 2: up in this whole. You know, has a player come
Speaker 2: back to a team after leaving a team?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: And I looked up and the times counting down and
Speaker 2: we're worked three seconds away. So I just clicked whatever
Speaker 2: song was up next on the button bar? And how
Speaker 2: many times did you say that Braves player? All right?
Speaker 2: Jesse Shams, all right, check this out. So he has
Speaker 2: been with the Braves now six times. He started with
Speaker 2: the Braves back in twenty ten, but has come back
Speaker 2: to the Braves five more times since twenty twenty one,
Speaker 2: So in what four years? Wow?
Speaker 3: Twenty one?
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been with the Braves coming gone five different
Speaker 2: times and so six times total.
Speaker 1: Dude, just can't take a hint.
Speaker 2: And here's the crazy thing, Like Keys don't want him,
Speaker 2: he just keeps coming. No, Like he's pretty solid with Atlanta,
Speaker 2: but like they I guess can't. I don't know if
Speaker 2: they don't have room for him, like to pay them
Speaker 2: or what it is. But they'll let him go. He'll
Speaker 2: he'll do like pretty well with the Braves. They'll let
Speaker 2: him go. He'll go somewhere else and completely stink it.
Speaker 1: Up, like he went to the Breaks, just welcome him
Speaker 1: back and then they let him go.
Speaker 2: Then the Braves bring them back, and he does pretty
Speaker 2: well for Atlanta, but they're like, you know what, We're
Speaker 2: gonna let you go again. He goes to another major
Speaker 2: League Baseball team and has like an era of fifty
Speaker 2: that he's back out that Braves bring them back again.
Speaker 2: So it's like this, I think maybe he's just like
Speaker 2: the secret spy to go out and try to sabotage
Speaker 2: other teams. I think it's time to maybe let them
Speaker 2: go again and maybe send them over to San Diego
Speaker 2: or the Dodgers let them stink it up for them.
Speaker 2: Because the Braves can't win a game. They're zero to five.
Speaker 2: I don't think they even realize that it's not spring
Speaker 2: training anymore. This season has started.
Speaker 1: He needs to go over to the Yankees and find
Speaker 1: out what they're doing with their bats. Let's talk about
Speaker 1: this for a second. Of the torpedo bats.
Speaker 2: Have you seen this? I've seen it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the Yankees have hired a former MIT physicist
Speaker 1: to be a bench coach in the last few months.
Speaker 1: He has created a new bat where the thicker part
Speaker 1: of the barrel is I guess, what would you say,
Speaker 1: farther down on the bat. Yeah, And it's different for
Speaker 1: each player, depending on where you hit the ball most.
Speaker 1: That is where the bat is thickest for this individual player.
Speaker 1: So the first that the Yankees used this torpedo bat,
Speaker 1: they had nine home runs and scored what was it,
Speaker 1: twenty runs versus.
Speaker 2: A bad Brewers team.
Speaker 1: You know, this is solely a Yankee design, but other
Speaker 1: teams are starting to pick it up. Elie Dela Cruz
Speaker 1: took batting practice with a torpedo bat yesterday. In his
Speaker 1: first game with a torpedo bat yesterday, Shannon he hit
Speaker 1: two home runs.
Speaker 2: So with a rough score, the Red scored like eighteen runs,
Speaker 2: didn't they? I believe?
Speaker 1: So I think it was a beat down yesterday for
Speaker 1: the Reds.
Speaker 2: To me, look fourteens, fourteen to three, it looks more
Speaker 2: like a softball bat to me. Does the barrel is
Speaker 2: kind of more evenly distribute it further down towards the handle,
Speaker 2: and you're seeing guys that are using these torpedo bats.
Speaker 2: The balls are going, you know, flying out of the
Speaker 2: stadium because normally where you would get jammed and maybe
Speaker 2: just pop it up. Now when you evenly distribute the
Speaker 2: barrel a little further down the bat, now all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, you're getting guys that are getting shot on
Speaker 2: the inside of the bat, but they're also able to
Speaker 2: hit it a lot further because of the way the
Speaker 2: barrel is shaped and the bat itself. So I think
Speaker 2: this is going to be a trend. I don't know
Speaker 2: if it's good for the game of baseball or not.
Speaker 2: I know people who are like, ooh, it's boring, they
Speaker 2: don't score enough runs. This is certainly going to help
Speaker 2: with that.
Speaker 1: Until it's certainly helping yeah right, yeah, Now this is
Speaker 1: one hundred percent legal according to MLB, But because it's
Speaker 1: the Yankees doing it, I feel like we've got to
Speaker 1: stop them. Shannon like I feel like we cannot get
Speaker 1: the let the Yankees get away with this.
Speaker 2: But I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, is it an unfair advantage to the pitchers
Speaker 1: or is it just simply innovation with equipment we will
Speaker 1: see in the coming months. I think if we see
Speaker 1: every single team pick this up and you know every
Speaker 1: game is going to get double digit runs, that I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's good for the product of baseball, but you
Speaker 2: want more, like you want more softball scores, is what
Speaker 2: you're saying. Twelve.
Speaker 1: This is what I was thinking you would say with
Speaker 1: somebody that poo poo's a second first base bag.
Speaker 2: That was stupid. I'm sorry, it's still a thing.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think they're still testing that out in many.
Speaker 2: Forms of baseball.
Speaker 1: But as somebody that is so with the rules and
Speaker 1: the tradition, I'm a little surprised you're for it.
Speaker 2: But it is legal. I don't know how. I don't
Speaker 2: really don't know like my full opinion on it just yet.
Speaker 2: I'm kind of like in the I need to see
Speaker 2: more games. I guess, like I don't know that is
Speaker 2: it because the torpedo bat or is that just coincidental,
Speaker 2: Like let's see let's get a longer test run of
Speaker 2: games and see if you know, when more teams start
Speaker 2: switching to the torpedo bat, you know, like every team
Speaker 2: is going to start doing this, Every player is going
Speaker 2: to start doing this. Yeah, you know, is every game
Speaker 2: like that, then will know it's a direct result from
Speaker 2: the torpedo bats. Until then, I mean, you know, we've
Speaker 2: had games before when we had regular bats where teams
Speaker 2: would score twenty runs. I remember the Braves a few
Speaker 2: years ago put up like twenty eight runs on the
Speaker 2: Marlins and they didn't have any torpedo bats. So maybe
Speaker 2: it was just the Brewers were that bad versus the Yankees.
Speaker 2: They're not good, but you know, the Athletics got beat
Speaker 2: like eighteen to three or something like that. Maybe it's
Speaker 2: just the a suck. Maybe that's simply it.
Speaker 1: But they do look strange as we see that trend
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball. Speaking of people knowing their opinions
Speaker 1: before we get to the phones, nine out of ten
Speaker 1: people on the text line do not want Big Z
Speaker 1: to return to Kentucky, and one person gave us bo
Speaker 1: Allen as a player who returned to an original school.
Speaker 2: That's right, bo Allen. The quarterback Shannon.
Speaker 1: I think something that we can all agree with is
Speaker 1: that it is amazing what the Coastal Carolina football team
Speaker 1: is doing. This is not an April fool's joke. This
Speaker 1: was announced yesterday at Coastal Carolina. All concessions will be
Speaker 1: free at home football games this year. Fans can get
Speaker 1: four items hot dogs, nachos, popcorns, and a fountain drink,
Speaker 1: all for free, with no limit on the number of
Speaker 1: times you can visit the concession stands in game. Wow,
Speaker 1: that's amazing, madness, Shannon, do you think that's a great
Speaker 1: way to get people in the.
Speaker 2: Doors both and a little bit of desperation too. But
Speaker 2: I mean, who's putting that bill? I mean, where's that
Speaker 2: money coming from.
Speaker 1: Those department ticket sales? Money that they're going to make
Speaker 1: from people coming in is going to go directly just
Speaker 1: paying for those hot talks. Man, I don't know, Like
Speaker 1: you no limit to how many times you can go
Speaker 1: to the concession stand. They could feed my family theoretically
Speaker 1: if I went up there enough times the week.
Speaker 2: That's the thing. Like, I'm just going for the free
Speaker 2: dinner and leading behalftime, I'm stuffing dogs in my pockets. Shitting,
Speaker 2: But I mean, what are we doing here? Of course,
Speaker 2: you still got pay to get into the game. Do
Speaker 2: you think, Billy, that maybe they're doing a little switcheroo.
Speaker 2: Maybe what they're doing is, however much that food might cost,
Speaker 2: they're just tagging that onto the price to get in. Oh,
Speaker 2: I would hate that. Do you think that maybe that's
Speaker 2: the case. I'd hate that.
Speaker 1: Because I want the option to go to the game
Speaker 1: and not have to buy popcorn to get my money.
Speaker 2: Sorry, folks, we've got to raise the season ticket price
Speaker 2: and just the regular single game ticket price. But on
Speaker 2: the bright side, you get free concessions.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I feel like this is just one of those publicity stunts, right.
Speaker 1: I mean, they've got us talking about it, so, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's a way to get Coastal Carolina football.
Speaker 2: In the conversation, you said you get four items, but
Speaker 2: you also get unlimited trips.
Speaker 1: Yes, so you can get a hot dog, Nacho's, popcorn,
Speaker 1: or a fountain drink for free. Okay, and you have
Speaker 1: no limit on the amount of times you can go
Speaker 1: and get those free items. Oh so I can go
Speaker 1: get four, I can go get all four right now? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then eat it and then come back and then
Speaker 1: get get more, get four again. Wow, it's like a
Speaker 1: It's like an all you can eat buffet, which is insane.
Speaker 1: It's like a hot dog in nacho buffet.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 1: Now, when I was in college, the Atlanta Falcons have
Speaker 1: been in front of this. Their concessions at Mercedes Benz.
Speaker 1: I think it's Mercedes beins is like half off. It's
Speaker 1: about like a normal price of what you can expect
Speaker 1: instead of, you know, sixteen dollars for a tall Boy beer.
Speaker 1: So I don't know, maybe this is the future. I
Speaker 1: doubt we'll see free concessis at Kentucky.
Speaker 2: And he didn't know that that is never happening. They
Speaker 2: don't have to people. You know, fans will show up.
Speaker 1: Regardless, just not if they don't start winning game home games.
Speaker 2: That's true. They've they've got to change that.
Speaker 1: Let's take another call, Shane, who's next, Scott?
Speaker 2: Good morning, Scott, Hey, good morning guys.
Speaker 3: Hey, uh that big is the Personally I don't want
Speaker 3: him back, but I have a question five years from now,
Speaker 3: well we consider players that left Kentucky went somewhere else,
Speaker 3: are they still a Kentucky player five years from now?
Speaker 3: We were still play.
Speaker 1: I would say yes, but Shade and Sharp does not
Speaker 1: fall into that category for me.
Speaker 2: You know, he didn't play at all.
Speaker 3: He never played for US. No.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, he warmed up, but he never lost
Speaker 1: a minute. Okay, well let me ask you this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, does Walker Horn and Grant darby Shire if they
Speaker 2: never played? Yes, yeah, they played.
Speaker 1: Okay, they've gotten in and they've also you know, dedicated
Speaker 1: a lot of blood and sweat to you know, practice
Speaker 1: from Brown.
Speaker 2: Do you give me, well, give me a broad? Do
Speaker 2: you see the sweat rolling off his brow while he
Speaker 2: was in the lafe line? I mean, my guy gave blood,
Speaker 2: sweat and tears. I think you got a noseblade during
Speaker 2: the layup line. I mean that's blood, sweat and tears
Speaker 2: for Kentucky. What are you talking about?
Speaker 1: That is an interesting question, Sciatt, But I do think
Speaker 1: that Big Z will be considered by some as a
Speaker 1: Kentucky player. I mean he did have that electric moment
Speaker 1: that one game.
Speaker 3: Right. Yeah.
Speaker 2: We always say once a cat, always a cat, even
Speaker 2: if you were only here for a year, And that's
Speaker 2: the case with the one and done guys too, right,
Speaker 2: right right?
Speaker 3: I say, John, Yeah, but if you if you wanted
Speaker 3: done to go to the NBA as stapid bunch if
Speaker 3: you're wanting done and go to a different college, but
Speaker 3: you know, especially in the same conference. Yeah right, what's
Speaker 3: the cat cat?
Speaker 2: What's your take on it, Scott? I mean, would you
Speaker 2: consider big Z a Kentucky player?
Speaker 3: No, No, because he left. He left Kentucky and went
Speaker 3: to another SEC team for one year, and I leave
Speaker 3: to go somewhere else. So if he goes to four
Speaker 3: different colleges, is he considered a razor Pack, a wild
Speaker 3: cat or a christ.
Speaker 2: DJ Wagner, then you would say he's not a cat.
Speaker 3: If he if he would have left, if he would
Speaker 3: left Kentucky went to the NBA. Yes, he left Kentucky
Speaker 3: went to SEC. So he left. You know, he basically,
Speaker 3: to me, turned his back on Kentucky. You know, I
Speaker 3: don't think the Kentucky player.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, Scott, I would argue that separation isn't
Speaker 1: always a bad thing between a player in Kentucky. You know,
Speaker 1: I think it was actually a good thing that Mark
Speaker 1: Pope was able to have a clean slate to build
Speaker 1: a roster, right, I mean, I think maybe Big Z
Speaker 1: did a favor by leaving.
Speaker 3: He could have. But you know he could have prospered
Speaker 3: by standard. Pope says he sure didn't. You know he
Speaker 3: didn't at calibrate the first year. He could his second year.
Speaker 3: You know, yeah, he do coach know new new thing.
Speaker 3: You know, you could have prospered a whole lot better
Speaker 3: look at car and all that. But they did, you
Speaker 3: know previously and compared to what they did this year.
Speaker 3: Coach of coaching the night and pure of the game.
Speaker 1: So their last year has to be at Kentucky for
Speaker 1: you to consider them a Kentucky player.
Speaker 3: Shed because they didn't lead to go to another college.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, just where he stands, just.
Speaker 3: My personal opinion. So about opinion.
Speaker 2: So if they were here for two years and they
Speaker 2: left for another school, were they a Kentucky player?
Speaker 3: Okay, they heard the back of Kentucky. They're chasing the money.
Speaker 3: They're chasing the money, not the team.
Speaker 2: All right. Cassidy Row, Oh she didn't.
Speaker 1: She didn't go to a new team.
Speaker 2: She just quit Masters. She did well. What if she
Speaker 2: decides to go to another school, does that mean she
Speaker 2: was never a cat Scott.
Speaker 3: In my opinion, yes, come on, she got forced, I
Speaker 3: know she got well if she if she was forced
Speaker 3: to leave. You have circumstances to everything. If you're made
Speaker 3: to leave, you know, that's well, that's that was your choice.
Speaker 3: The choice was not leave.
Speaker 2: But let's say Pope came in and didn't want the
Speaker 2: hero Wagner or z. He wanted to start from scratch.
Speaker 2: I'm yeah, I got you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know, it's like you get fired from
Speaker 3: a chop, you know, lose you know, France from that
Speaker 3: time because you got five. He wasn't. You didn't do
Speaker 3: it on your own.
Speaker 1: He was forced out, all right, So okay, appreciate it, man,
Speaker 1: Thank you, Scott. I mean, despite if I leave or
Speaker 1: get fired by iHeart, I would always have been an
Speaker 1: iHeart employee, Shannon seven.
Speaker 2: You know, I hear what he's saying, but I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm not fired up enough to like start yelling at
Speaker 2: at Scott Brew's opinion. But to me, if you were
Speaker 2: here for a year, you're a cat, once a cat,
Speaker 2: always a cat. How can I take that approach like
Speaker 2: you didn't Sharp He might be like the only exception, but.
Speaker 1: Like especially now, right, I mean, in the landscape of
Speaker 1: college sports, where movement is just fluid, like that is
Speaker 1: just something that you get used to. I'm not going
Speaker 1: to say that I can't get on board because I
Speaker 1: think Kerkkrisa really cared about this team, right, I think
Speaker 1: he really cares about this program and the success of
Speaker 1: the team last year. Just because he's entered the portal
Speaker 1: looking for a better opportunity doesn't mean that he was
Speaker 1: and not will always be considered a wildcat. Shading sharp
Speaker 1: not a cat in my book. That's a different story.
Speaker 1: A five nine two two eight seven. We'll take a
Speaker 1: couple more calls on the other side of this break
Speaker 1: and before we hand it off to KSR here on
Speaker 1: this Tuesday edition of the KSR pre show, welcome back.
Speaker 1: Not the price is Right, It is KSR. Even though
Speaker 1: you might be confused after yesterday.
Speaker 2: Understand how that happened, because I mean, why would we
Speaker 2: have not heard the Price is Right on the other
Speaker 2: segments too, So somebody had to come in during that
Speaker 2: last break and recorded something like a traffic report or
Speaker 2: something right or now.
Speaker 1: Well, we were testing macros to switch lap over to
Speaker 1: WKYT when we have severe weather.
Speaker 2: Oh, they decided to test it in the middle of
Speaker 2: the show. We tell him next time to test that stuff.
Speaker 2: After the show, I will I will come on do
Speaker 2: your job.
Speaker 1: Speaking of things you should check out, though, you should
Speaker 1: check out w l a p dot com because we've
Speaker 1: still got a few open spots in the KSR golf
Speaker 1: scramble at the University Club on May thirtieth. Still a
Speaker 1: lot of sport spots left, So why don't you join,
Speaker 1: and maybe you'll get a celeb shot for me.
Speaker 2: You can beat Drew Franklin dead in this scramble. Matt's
Speaker 2: got his own team. Hold on, what what a celeb
Speaker 2: shot from? Are you referring to yourself as a celebrity?
Speaker 1: Yes, I will be considered a celebrity. You will not
Speaker 1: tell me I am not.
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, I mean maybe with those bangs,
Speaker 2: if you cut your hair, nobody's gonna recognize you.
Speaker 3: So I like that.
Speaker 1: You're you're so big now you're a celebrity. Celebrities consider
Speaker 1: a celeb shot. Have you ever played beer pong?
Speaker 2: Of course?
Speaker 1: Okay, well I think you would understand this concept and golf.
Speaker 1: I'll give you a slub shot as well. Maybe I'll
Speaker 1: hit a drive for you if they don't give me
Speaker 1: my own team, which apparently, if I'm high enough on
Speaker 1: the total pull, get my own team.
Speaker 2: Well, now, I think you get your own team, your
Speaker 2: play your teammates just don't show up.
Speaker 1: Well, that has happened in the past too, So I mean,
Speaker 1: it's all all categories, but have come come have fun
Speaker 1: with us wl AP dot com. Uh check out kis
Speaker 1: our golf scramble join us. A couple spots left? Uh, Shannon,
Speaker 1: why don't we take another call?
Speaker 2: Who do we have? Let's go to Doug. Hey, Doug,
Speaker 2: what's up? Doug?
Speaker 3: Hey? Guys? Are you good?
Speaker 2: How are you man? We've already established this in the
Speaker 2: first call. We're all doing well.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Doug good, good, good.
Speaker 5: So I'm gonna ask a question that I haven't heard
Speaker 5: anyone address through this entire transfer portal situation over the
Speaker 5: past few years, and it's something I've always just been
Speaker 5: curious about. I think the answer for a lot of
Speaker 5: people are going to be I don't care, but I
Speaker 5: want to know what the real answer is. What does
Speaker 5: this do to these students academically? So and I know
Speaker 5: in a lot of situations, you know their end go
Speaker 5: is the NBA. But what if you're kur Cresa and
Speaker 5: you've been to Arizona, West Virginia Kentucky. And let's say hypothetically,
Speaker 5: now you're gonna go to Xavier and he's not going
Speaker 5: to go to the NBA, and he's like, Okay, I
Speaker 5: need to get my degree in finance, so I'm going
Speaker 5: to finish at Eastern Kentucky University. And they're going to
Speaker 5: look at him and say, well, academically standard, you are
Speaker 5: a freshman.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I transferred. I don't know exactly how
Speaker 2: like the credits roll over. Like for me, there were
Speaker 2: certain credits that would roll over to gen Ed's. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Like I said, you know, a lot of these guys
Speaker 2: get their basic you know, basic classes that everybody has
Speaker 2: to take, and then after that you pick a major
Speaker 2: or a minor and you go from there. Some of
Speaker 2: those classes will probably carry over, other ones won't. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm not sure. I think it's probably different for every individual,
Speaker 2: depending on the school they decide to go to.
Speaker 1: It's probably a player by player basis. And when you
Speaker 1: know nine out of ten athletes aren't going to play professionally,
Speaker 1: you'd hope that they get a degree that they can
Speaker 1: pursue a career in afterwards. But Shannon were foolish to
Speaker 1: think that student athlete is a term that still applies today.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean it's never had Yeah, you never
Speaker 2: even hear you.
Speaker 5: Never even hear GPAs mentioned anymore. Are they academically eligible?
Speaker 5: So you know, I guess my question two would be
Speaker 5: as an athlete, is that as something that is even
Speaker 5: taken into consideration when they choose what school they're going
Speaker 5: to transfer to. How many of my credits are going
Speaker 5: to transfer?
Speaker 1: You know, it's impossible to say, and you know, I
Speaker 1: do appreciate the call. Again, it's probably player by a
Speaker 1: player basis. I would also say, Shannon, a lot of
Speaker 1: guys that transfer have probably already graduated.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: I think about some of the seniors on this team's
Speaker 1: roster probably came to Kentucky with all their credit. I
Speaker 1: was already done. So it's just a different time in
Speaker 1: college sports. But if we're in college, now, here's what
Speaker 1: I would do.
Speaker 2: I would go to all the easiest, like you know,
Speaker 2: the place I could play the but the easiest classes, okay,
Speaker 2: and then like after that, go, okay, I'm a senior,
Speaker 2: Now where can I go? That would be like the
Speaker 2: most impressive diploma that I could get. Oh, you just
Speaker 2: care about the diploma on the wall. Well, like, I
Speaker 2: know you couldn't do it, but like, let's just say
Speaker 2: you went to like, you know, Eastern Kentucky and you
Speaker 2: stayed there for three years then last year, So I
Speaker 2: want to go to.
Speaker 1: Harvard IVY like last last year. They would never accept you,
Speaker 1: but you know, in theory it would be that would
Speaker 1: be my move. I wonder if the gen eds at
Speaker 1: an Ive League schooler are tougher than maybe the local
Speaker 1: Kentucky school. Shannon, you know, I'm not sure, but you
Speaker 1: know that's in the back of everybody's mind when it
Speaker 1: comes to these athletes today.
Speaker 2: I think, But Shannon, tell me about DraftKings. We have
