70
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 3: you know kind of fits the mold of what you

71
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 3: you kind of are as a basketball player. How much

72
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,000

73
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 3: of use that as a, you know, a potential measuring

74
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 3: stick of what you could potentially do this upcoming season

75
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 3: in Kentucky.

76
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 5: I haven't been able to watch too much, but I

77
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 5: feel like from what I was showing on the film,

78
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 5: uh play somewhat similar. I feel like I'm gonna be

79
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 5: able to kind of take over that that kind of

80
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 5: role well and flourish and that kind of role.

81
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 3: What did Mark Pope say and is what were those

82
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 3: kind of early conversations with with him like and saying, hey, here,

83
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 3: here's what you're going to be and and and how

84
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 3: you're going to be used here in our system.

85
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 5: Well, again, you know, they be able to play through

86
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 5: me at the top of key to show off my

87
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 5: offensive ability more, get to show off my shooting a

88
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 5: little bit better, you know, playing the pick and roll,

89
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 5: being able to get down hill, just playing a more

90
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 5: open and faster paced offense.

91
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 3: What fit well into that you know what what is

92
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 3: playing for? You know, big Blue Nation and with the

93
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 3: most passionate fan base in college basketball on a on

94
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 3: a platform like the University of Kentucky. How do you

95
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 3: think that's going to kind of elevate you know what

96
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 3: you're trying to accomplish, and you know what a lot

97
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 3: of a lot of people kind of envision your your

98
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 3: last season of college of basketball. What what is it

99
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 3: about the Kentucky brand that that intrigues you?

100
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 5: Well, I mean it's the biggest brand in college basketball.

101
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 5: You know, they got the best fans in college basketball.

102
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,520

104
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 5: things here and I feel like this is the best

105
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 5: station to do it.

106
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 4: On last February, I think it might have been the

107
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 4: Georgia game in Rop Arena. You were there, They brought

108
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 4: you out at half court to a huge reception, gave

109
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 4: every by a big wave. How did it feels that

110
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 4: was kind of your first moment in front of Kentucky

111
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 4: fans in a unique situation last season, and how exciting

112
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 4: is it to get back out there in front of

113
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 4: those fans again in rep Arena finally wearing the uniform next.

114

Speaker 3: Jadeen, you know, obviously understanding the assignment in Lexington is

135
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 3: very important for Mark Pope and and it's getting back

136
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 3: to the final four winning a national championship? How important

137
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,840

138
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,599

Speaker 5: to me, and I've been wanting to have a chance

144
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 5: to compete. You know, I don't really like watching from

145
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,840

00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 3: make your way back to the floor.

160
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 5: I'm gonna play hard and give them all every night.

161
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 5: You know, I'm gonna have the impact on the offensive end,

162
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 5: defensive end of the ball. And you know I played

163
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 5: a win every night. Every time I step on the floor,

164
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 5: I played a win to impact the game. I'll rock

165
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 5: in love.

166
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 3: It, Jayden.

167
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,200

Speaker 4: But thanks again for joining us and congratulations on making

00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 4: your commitment.

174
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 5: Thanks appreciate you, guys.

175
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 3: All right, we'll talk to you and Lexton.

176
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 4: Looking forward to it, all right, guys, Steve, Yes, sir

177
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 4: gocats there it was Jack, A good get Jack getting

178
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 4: him on the phone. I can only imagine how hectic

179
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 4: it has been around him this morning. You know it

180
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 4: is a big portal target. It even sounded like was

181
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 4: that Bruce Pearl in the background.

182
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 3: I thought I heard Bruce when Jason was talking there.

183
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 3: Bruce really isn't trying to visit him right now? Is

184
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 3: he put in there? Uh?

185
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 4: I know it was great to have him, and like

186
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 4: I said, very exciting times for Kentucky. I remember that

187
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 4: moment Rupperina when he got the big pop thought we

188
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 4: thought we were gonna have him last year. You know,

189
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 4: life's funny, It's got its twists and turns. But he's

190
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 4: coming back home. Projected top ten pick in the twenty

191
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 4: twenty six draft, brings some much needed rent protection and

192
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 4: it sounds like he's on a good timeline with the

193
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 4: with the rehab on the aco.

194
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 3: All I can focus on is National Championship talk man

195
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 3: him talking about you know, you know, me and Jasper

196
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 3: we've been talking a lot. We have big dreams of

197
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 3: hanging banners and Lexington and it's like, oh, all right,

198
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 3: can we I know the National Championship just finished up

199
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 3: last night, but I'm ready to roll those balls out

200
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 3: and took the season off.

201
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 6: Maybe hungry for it watching the last night. Uh do

202
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 6: you think you know, do you think Caliperry? Well, how

203
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 6: does he feel about about this? I mean that was

204
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 6: could have been one of his big pieces. Did he

205
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 6: think that he was going to follow him to Arkansas

206
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 6: last year? It's complicated.

207
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 3: I think everybody just kind of knew, you know, it

208
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 3: might just be a hard reset for everybody. Some would follow,

209
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 3: some wouldn't. You know. Obviously the some did follow and

210
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 3: some didn't. But I do know that it was really

211
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 3: important for Jayden in those close to him, to you know,

212
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 3: kind of make his own decision. And that's why, you know,

213
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 3: after even after Cal left, there were initial conversations of hey,

214
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 3: I would love to be a part of this. I know,

215
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 3: you know, it's it's complicated, it's you guys have a

216
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 3: coaching search to do, but I would love to have

217
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 3: some type of role in this. And it just didn't

218
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 3: work out. You know, it needed a little break to

219
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 3: know what they were missing with one another, and they

220
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 3: were able to rEFInd each other again this offseason, and

221
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 3: you know, Jayden was able to grow under his own terms,

222
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 3: on his own timeline, and now we should be getting

223
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 3: a more mature, you know, eighteen year old version of

224
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 3: Jayden instead of you know, arriving on campus at sixteen

225
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 3: like he did last last season. Arizona State. Love always

226
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 3: finds a way works out, We got him, got him moere.

227
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 4: He needs to be Steve. And I say this lovingly, respectfully.

228
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 4: Sometimes sometimes you can be a little bit of a

229
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 4: doom's day or you know, you consider the worst case scenario.

230
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 3: At times, not always, not always, but you know you can.

231
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 4: You can have worries and you can be cautious about

232
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 4: the state of Kentucky basketball. How do you feel, Let's

233
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 4: just assume they have a shooter we don't know yet,

234
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 4: still gotta go out and get one of those but

235
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 4: unnamed shooter and the pieces they have now where is

236
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 4: Steven peaks excitement heading into next season.

237
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 6: First of all, from from two thousand and nine when

238
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 6: Kyle got there to about twenty seventeen, I was very

239
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 6: much optimistic, and you know, things started to happen in

240
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 6: the last few years that and since I got to

241
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 6: KSR that you know, made me a little bit more

242
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 6: maybe protecting myself a little bit so I don't get

243
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 6: too hurt.

244
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 3: Maybe that's what it is.

245
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 6: But I think with Jayden, you land a shooter, whether

246
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 6: it's Yates or whoever else is in the portal, Dante

247
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 6: Allen's in the portal, I.

248
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 3: Mean that could be That's it. Running back. Call everybody home, Yeah,

249
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 3: Tucky lineup.

250
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm real excited about this team. And I

251
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 6: think what we saw with what Mark Pope and this

252
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 6: staff was able to do with what they had. I mean,

253
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 6: those were good. Those are good players. The last year

254
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 6: we have a lot to talk about. There's a lot

255
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 6: of talk last year about you know, this will be

256
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 6: the least talented Mark Pope team. I mean then there

257
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 6: was there were some really good players on that team.

258
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 6: But now you look at this roster. You had a

259
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 6: shooter like I'm dreaming. I'm dreaming big.

260
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 3: I mean I see in your eyes.

261
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I'm thinking like a return to our

262
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 6: favorite city could be happening. That's the only No, We're

263
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 6: not gonna be negative though, right We're gonna.

264
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 4: Actually I actually have that city on my list of

265
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 4: topics for later. And we still have to get your

266
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 4: hot take on the basketball. It's really the only reason

267
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 4: I called you in today was so you can just

268
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 4: have your open mic about the Wilson basketball. We've been

269
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 4: thrown off with the news and the updates. Obviously, we

270
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 4: focused today on the two recent editions since they happened

271
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 4: in the last twenty four hours, but Jack, I didn't

272
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 4: have you on the air yesterday. Kentucky also added Jalen

273
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 4: Low over the weekend. We haven't really had a chance

274
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 4: to talk about him, I guess the third fourth transfer portal.

275
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 3: Piece for Kentucky. How do you feel about him at

276
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 3: point guard? He's different than than Lamont Butler. Obviously, Lamont

277
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 3: was a defensive anchor and a guy that you just

278
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 3: kind of say, hey, go to work and guard the

279
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 3: other team's best player. And you know it's it's a

280
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 3: different style, but more talented than Lamont Butler. I know

281
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 3: it's gonna, you know, ruffle some feathers, but you're you're

282
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 3: buying on the upside, knowing that, Okay, he's young, he's

283
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 3: growing a couple more years left of eligibility. But this

284
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 3: is a kid that produced at a high level for

285
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 3: a very bad ACC team, but was an acc ACC

286
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 3: member nonetheless, and you're kind of saying, if you can

287
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 3: get him to you know, improve efficiency because the shots

288
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 3: are going to be better because he has more talent

289
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 3: around him, because you know he's not gonna be getting

290
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 3: double teamed and and you know, have the other team's

291
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 3: top defensive assignment of every single night. It's gonna be

292
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 3: more of a balance and let him kind of get

293
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 3: his game off more comfortably than he had to do

294
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 3: last season played for Jeff Kple. So you you should

295
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 3: be getting the best version of Jalen Lowe, who as

296
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 3: an All Conference player as is, is a really, really,

297
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 3: really talented piece. We still have so much more to

298
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 3: get to.

299
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 4: Like yesterday, I'm not even halfway through the topics I've

300
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 4: written down. Like I said, Steven's got to talk about

301
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 4: this basketball and these two travel everywhere together. I want

302
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 4: to get some travel stories. And we still haven't even

303
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 4: mentioned last night's championship game. So we'll take a break first.

304
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 4: Before we take this break, I'm gonna tell you abou

320
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 4: morning we're having here, guys. Drew Franklin, Jack Pilgrim, Steven Peak,

321
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 4: Shad a Quaintance, Jiohnny Key, Phoenix Stevens. We're just having

322
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 4: lots of fun as Kentucky Basketball's roster gets even better.

323
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 4: A lot of the way too early rankings came out

324
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 4: this morning, even before the Quaintans commitment. I think ESPN

325
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 4: had Kentucky at six on three. Our company Steven's wearing

326
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 4: the logo right now, had him at fourth. Some other

327
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 4: top ten projections. All the naysayers just calmed down. We

328
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 4: told you, relax, it's gonna be all right, and things

329
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 4: are looking like they're panning out. Well, still got at

330
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 4: a shooter, but Kentucky's in a great spot. On April

331
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 4: Eighth's today, after the National Championship game, and we have

332
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 4: not even mentioned that yet, so I guess we should

333
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 4: run through it. It seems very irrelevant at the moment as

334
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 4: we're excited about other things. But Florida did win a

335
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 4: basketball game last night, the championship, their third. Looked like

336
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 4: it was Houston's night for much of the game, especially

337
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 4: in the first half. My Goodness restaurant Colin fouls much,

338
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 4: which played into Houston's favor. Alex Condon looks like he

339
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 4: wanted to be on the couch next to me. He

340
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 4: wanted no part of that game. Early on, Walter Clayton

341
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 4: couldn't score. I thought it was Houston's night, and then

342
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 4: the things flipped late in the second half. Houston led

343
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 4: by twelve at one point in the second half. Walter

344
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 4: Clayton hit a three with about three minutes and fifteen

345
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 4: seconds left to go, got a little momentum behind the Gators,

346
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 4: and that's when things turned down the stretch. Houston with

347
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 4: four turnovers on their last four possessions, including on the

348
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 4: final possession. Calvin Sampson, this is your moment. I thought

349
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 4: you were getting over the hump. I thought you were

350
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 4: getting the ring, and Houston doesn't even get a shot off. Incredible. Guys,

351
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 4: were you did you at least enjoy the outcome? Were

352
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 4: you anti Florida pro Florida? How do we feel about

353
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 4: how it played out?

354
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 6: I was anti Florida. I'm anti every SEC team.

355
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 3: I don't look.

356
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 6: I want to go back to where Kentucky dominates the SEC.

357
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 6: I know we can have some pride in our conference,

358
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 6: but why, like I want to be the best team.

359
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 3: I don't want.

360
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 6: I don't Florida celebrating last night made me sick watching

361
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 6: Todd Golden up there, you know. I mean, great youngest

362
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 6: coach to win it. Good for him, but that you know,

363
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 6: I didn't like it. I didn't like seeing he looked

364
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 6: like he wanted to be a part of the team,

365
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 6: you know what I mean?

366
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 3: He did look like a player.

367
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 4: He was the one that lifted the trophy walk on

368
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 4: or is that the coach or the coach's son?

369
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 3: Who is that? Yeah?

370
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 6: But you know, I was all for I was really

371
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 6: just excited that Duke wasn't playing in it, and really

372
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 6: that was the only thing that concerned me.

373
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 4: But yeah, let's be honest, we all won. Before the

374
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 4: championship game, when dude got eliminated. I lean your direction.

375
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 4: I was more for Houston, who I had in my bracket.

376
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 4: I didn't love Florida getting another one. You know, It's

377
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 4: just they had their their little dynasty in two thousand

378
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 4: and six, two thousand and seven. I wanted that to

379
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 4: be the end of Florida basketball success. Golden's got him back.

380
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 4: That wasn't a lot of fun to watch. But Houston

381
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 4: with a big collapse, I mean, jack with forty five

382
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 4: seconds left, we think they're going too for one and

383
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 4: then they kind of hold the ball and end up

384
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 4: turning over twice in the last thirty seconds.

385
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 3: It was crushing, Like just seeing there's a kind of

386
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 3: side by side you see the game happening, and you

387
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 3: see just Kevin Samson on the bench and just watching

388
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 3: it all unfold, and you could just see the doom

389
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 3: in his eyes, like I thought this was it. I

390
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 3: thought we had it. So that sucks. You know. Kelvin's

391
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 3: a great guy all time with for Indiana basketball. Could

392
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 3: you imagine if that guy stuck there and was able

393
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 3: to build the same dynasty with the resources that he has, it,

394
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 3: it would have it Indiana. That's why we can never

395
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 3: you know, Indiana can go away forever. But I was

396
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 3: rooting for him personally, while also kind of liking the

397
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 3: novelty of like, hey, we hyped up the SEC as

398
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 3: this all time juggernaut, having them kind of put the

399
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 3: ultimate final stamp on it, Like hey, all time conference

400
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 3: leads to a national champion and US being the first

401
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 3: team to beat them. I kind of enjoy the.

402
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 6: Two of the four last champions Kentucky's beaten in the

403
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 6: regular season. Yeah, so that kind of part of it

404
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 6: I was appreciating. But we were playing with house money.

405
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 6: I mean, there was there was nothing that could have

406
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 6: happened last night that would make me like, oh, you know,

407
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 6: heart being heartbroken.

408
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 3: The only thing that could have happened was Duke winning

409
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 3: that game and then winning the national championship. I would

410
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 3: have been really bummed out today, but very fortunately we

411
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 3: don't have that opportunity. Yeah, that's why I was for Houston.

412
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:47,959
Speaker 3: We needed to crown them.

413
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 4: They sent Tennessee home before a final four, and they

414
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 4: eliminated Duke with one of the all time collapses in

415
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,719
Speaker 4: the semi final. That's why I just thought Houston deserved it.

416
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 4: Some interesting facts that came out about it, you know,

417
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 4: we're all looking at these kings and you need this.

418
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 3: You need that.

419
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 4: Florida did not have a top one hundred recruit on

420
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 4: its roster, and neither team had a five star recruit,

421
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 4: so pretty unique in uh in the roster building there

422
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 4: shows that retaining players and finding the right fit and

423
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 4: the portal can really pay off.

424
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

425
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 6: I mean that's and that you look at, Uh you

426
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 6: can bring Otega oh way back.

427
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 3: I mean that that's huge.

428
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 6: And you know, once this thing gets rolling, once you

429
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:23,719
Speaker 6: get Pope into his third or fourth year, because he's

430
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 6: i think brought on a couple more sophomores, so you

431
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,479
Speaker 6: keep them. Uh yeah, roster continuity. What was Kentucky this

432
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 6: past season?

433
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 3: Oh?

434
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 6: They were last Okay, so that's probably not good, right,

435
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 6: considering all the injuries. And that's one thing too, the uh,

436
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 6: the the injury stuff has to start tilting into our

437
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 6: favor and it's got to happen it and and and

438
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 6: you know, you look at the last several years there's

439
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 6: been like key injuries. Let's like eventually that luck is

440
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 6: going to swing our way.

441
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 3: Right, we have the ultimate experiment. I mean, we have

442
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 3: a guy with a torn a cl today and if

443
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 3: he happens to go ahead of schedule and play in

444
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 3: the season opener. I think, and you stays healthy throughout

445
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 3: the course of the season. I think that's the perfect like,

446
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 3: you know, finally getting you know, exercising those demons and

447
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 3: getting back on track with the health.

448
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 4: Steven you mentioned Otega oh Way, he was in one

449
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 4: shining moment for approximately one point two seconds. We got

450
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 4: like four frames of Otega. You know, I, like most people,

451
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 4: stayed up waiting for one shining moment. That's how we

452
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 4: officially closed the book on the ear. I really thought

453
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 4: the Amari Coast to coast dunk was gonna make it.

454
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 4: I even almost tweeted, get ready, We're getting the Amari

455
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 4: dunk in one shining moment. Amari didn't get in there,

456
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 4: but in the very beginning, I guess we got an

457
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 4: oh way flesh. Was that other than you know, being

458
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 4: in the background of some Tennessee shots, I believe that

459
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 4: was our only UK.

460
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 3: Andrew Carr was on the receiving end of a Tennessee poster,

461
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 3: which I did not love seeing that, but at least

462
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 3: it wasn't like past years where it's slow motion.

463
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 4: Jack Goki and my good friend John Palumbo doing the

464
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 4: surrender cobra with his hands on his head. So we're

465
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 4: working our way back more into one shining moment.

466
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 3: Stephen.

467
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 4: As a videographer, I gotta ask, why does it take

468
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 4: them so long?

469
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 3: You know that most of that should have been edited.

470
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 3: I feel that make us wait.

471
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 4: You know, I keep I wanted to go watch Righteous

472
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 4: jim Stones, but I gotta watch twenty minutes of post

473
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 4: game to get to the best part.

474
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 3: Of the night.

475
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 6: I don't think it's an editing deal. I think that

476
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 6: they they know that you're waiting for it, and they're

477
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 6: getting in as many ads as they can. I mean,

478
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 6: we have the official ladder of the NCAA. We got

479
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 6: to talk about Werner, and then we got to get

480
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 6: you know, the the AT and T halftime show presented

481
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 6: by Burger King or whatever like they got. We have

482
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 6: to get all of the ads in and then so

483
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 6: but you can see like it's all edited. They added

484
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 6: like three clips of the of the championship game and

485
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 6: then the celebration at the end. I'm sure they took

486
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 6: them about a minute.

487
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 3: One cool thing.

488
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 4: About the Florida celebration and you mentioned the ladder. Olivier

489
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 4: Reu did cut down the nets again, mister seven foot nine,

490
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 4: as we saw in Nashville without using the ladder. I'm

491
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 4: still just fascinated about it.

492
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 2: Guy.

493
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 4: You know, he didn't play for Florida this year, but

494
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 4: what a sight when he's up there. You know, everyone

495
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 4: takes their climb, get their little piece, they wave. No,

496
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 4: he just walks up, takes the scissors and cuts the

497
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 4: flat footed.

498
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 3: Is that an NIL violation because they have the deal

499
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 3: with with the ladder, Like, do you think that the

500
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,919
Speaker 3: ladder company looks that it goes well, well, that's not

501
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 3: what we signed up for.

502
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 4: Get get your big button on that ladder and lean down.

503
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 4: I think has a complaint there. I really think they do.

504
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 4: We're getting excited about the rosters. So before we started

505
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 4: the show, you were like, get me back on one

506
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 4: shining moment. Are you confident that you know we got

507
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 4: all the way this year for one point two seconds

508
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,360
Speaker 4: where we're gradually getting back Next year we're gonna be featured.

509
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 6: I mean, it looks like you do have to make

510
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 6: an Elite eight at least to get more than one highlight.

511
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 6: Because I thought too the Amari Williams dunk against Troy

512
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 6: had to be on there. How many times do you

513
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 6: see a seven foot go coast to coast and get

514
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 6: an and one dunk? I mean, but yeah, you gotta

515
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 6: get you gotta get to the destination. You gotta get

516
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 6: to Indianapolis next year if you want to be you know,

517
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 6: you want to see a lot more those highlights and

518
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 6: not be on the the other side of the Tennessee

519
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 6: dunkin on.

520
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,479
Speaker 4: Us Overall, obviously I would have preferred if Kentucky were

521
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 4: in the Final four, but those three games maybe one

522
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 4: of my favorite Final four us to just sit and

523
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 4: watch as a neutral observer. Other than hating Duke, I

524
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 4: didn't really have strong feelings about any team, but the

525
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 4: weekend really delivered, didn't you Jack.

526
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 3: Everybody loves the Cinderella until you have to see them

527
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 3: play a legitimate national championship contender and they lose by

528
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 3: thirty in the next round, You're like, well, that was

529
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 3: a waste of everybody's time. So there's a reason why

530
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 3: they're won seeds. And they were the best teams all

531
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 3: season long. That's why it was so hard when we

532
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 3: were filling out the brackets to not pick them, As

533
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 3: you know, it felt like you were trying to be

534
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 3: cute when you didn't have the four number ones, because

535
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 3: they were just that much better than the rest of

536
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 3: the field. So it was the best, the best possible

537
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 3: product we could have gotten.

538
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 4: For our KSR listeners who are online and follow Ryan Lemon.

539
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know if he had gotten into

540
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 4: the marks with Shannon the dude, but Ryan Sen's like

541
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 4: one tweet a week, and last night he was just

542
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 4: firing them off. I encourage everyone to go look at that.

543
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 4: One of them has just said, I really got a pee.

544
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,959
Speaker 4: I mean said Shannon told me to go out there

545
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 4: in the ocean. I mean, sounds like my guys are

546
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 4: having a great time on vacation. I'm looking at about

547
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 4: ten Ryan Lemon tweets during the game, and none of

548
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 4: them are coherent, So check that out, follow Scoop. Looks

549
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 4: like they're having a good time leaving me back here,

550
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 4: and like I said, they might not have a job

551
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 4: when they get back. We're just we've added three people

552
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,439
Speaker 4: to their roster since they've been gone. We had a

553
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 4: good guest that tianni Key closed the book on the

554
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 4: championship season, and when we come back, I'm gonna let

555
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 4: Steven Peak tell you all about the worst basketball in

556
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 4: the history of basketball, the Wilson Evo NXT. He hates

557
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 4: it more than anything, and we're gonna let him cook

558
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 4: after this break. This is KSR. Welcome back to KSR.

559
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 4: Matt Jones is not here because we've already had babies

560
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 4: and dogs. That is our whiskey Thief message board submission

561
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 4: of the day. Not quite a call of the day,

562
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 4: but we're going to ks board for that one from

563
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 4: Fox Monk and Bam took that joke from him. He

564
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 4: said with Matt out, babies are fair game. I'm not

565
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 4: gonna encourage you to call in with your babies, but

566
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 4: it was a nice addition to the Jayden Quaintons interview.

567
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 4: Really cool to hear from him on such an exciting day.

568
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 4: But I'm here with Jack Pilgrim and Steven Peak without

569
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 4: further ado, Ladies and gentlemen, We've talked about it many times.

570
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 4: These stupid basketballs that are overinflated and they're bright orange.

571
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 4: No one hates them more than Steven and Steven. I'm

572
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 4: just gonna give you a tell us. Tell us your

573
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 4: hatred goes back several years. You've done the stats, you

574
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 4: have spreadsheets, you have videos. You'll randomly text me at

575
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 4: three am on a Tuesday when you find new information

576
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 4: about this stupid Wilson basketball. Tell our listeners why they

577
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 4: should hate it too. You should hate it because Kobe

578
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 4: Braya hates it. Jack Pilgrim interviewed him in the locker room.

579
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 6: After he actually shot three for six, So it wasn't

580
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 6: like he was making excuses and a win and a

581
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 6: win over was that the Troy was after the Troy game?

582
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 3: Was that after Illinois Troy? Troy? Okay?

583
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 6: So he asked Kobe Bray if you haven't seen the interview,

584
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 6: it's on our YouTube channel, and Kobe says, you have

585
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 6: to change the way you shoot a little bit. And

586
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 6: I almost threw the camera against the wall and ran

587
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 6: out and found it NCAA.

588
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 3: Why the camera got so shakey? Oh, I was shaking that. Yeah.

589
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 4: I wanted our listeners to know Steven actually might do

590
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 4: that at some point. He's not getting he came close to.

591
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 3: Throw on that.

592
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 6: Well, the thing is with first of all, why is

593
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 6: it in college basketball you have different balls depending on

594
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 6: where you That makes no sense to me. You don't

595
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 6: do this in any other sport. You don't get to

596
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 6: the World Series and they go, all right, we changed

597
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 6: the seams on the baseball. It doesn't happen, all right,

598
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 6: So like that's that's the first thing. But then these basketballs.

599
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 6: And I talked to a guy who played at Watford.

600
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 6: He has AH he's a shooting coach, Bobby Perez. He

601
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 6: played with Fletcher McGee I think it was his name,

602
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 6: who you know, didn't shoot very well against Kentucky, but

603
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 6: one of the better shooters anyway.

604
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 3: He's done a lot of.

605
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 6: Studies also, and he's he's like trying to teach guys

606
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 6: how to shoot. But he's like, these basketballs that they're using.

607
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 6: For one, it's not that they're different. They they put

608
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 6: extended range tech into this ball. Why we need a

609
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 6: technology into a basketball? It does don't have to use

610
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 6: a USBC to like do as it. There's our firmware

611
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 6: update that needs to happen to the basketball. It means

612
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 6: it's ridiculous.

613
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 5: Uh.

614
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 6: But what he's saying is that the balls are too inflated,

615
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 6: and he is noticing that guys are having trouble. It's

616
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 6: not just with shooting, but it's with the ball. I mean,

617
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 6: Severe Wheeler had one bounce over his head I mean,

618
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 6: like there's one Davion Mits went back and watched the

619
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 6: Saint Peter's game that he expects the ball to be

620
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 6: back in his hand. Nope, it's not. It's bouncing over

621
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 6: his hand. It's a turnover. This is something the NCAA

622
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 6: really needs to fix it. I'm glad like Scott Van

623
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 6: Pelt is now even talking about it. He said, it's

624
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 6: like the like a game you play at a carnival

625
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 6: where like the ball is over and plated and has

626
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 6: there They've rigged the game. This is something I was

627
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 6: kind of joking about a few years ago. Now I'm

628
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 6: kind of I'm a little bit more serious.

629
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 3: I think.

630
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 6: I think having everyone else say that this is a

631
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 6: problem has sort of like made me like, all right,

632
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 6: I can actually this is a real thing.

633
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 3: Give me real takes off.

634
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 4: You're a pioneer in this take. When I first met you,

635
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 4: you're you know, the first thing I brought it up

636
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 4: in an interview. Yeah, we interviewed Steven for the videographer position.

637
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 4: Tyler and I and you know, we're going over as

638
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 4: the resume. Oh cool, you went to Murray.

639
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 3: That's neat.

640
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 4: Oh you worked here? And He's like, hey, uh, can

641
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 4: I talk about this basketball? And ever since I've known you,

642
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 4: it's been a talking point. You're right, people are catching on.

643
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 4: Some coaches have been out spoken about it.

644
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 6: Matt Painter said that he he was interviewed in twenty

645
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 6: twenty three and he said, the ball is round, anybody

646
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 6: can shoot it. Then they lose to Farley Dickinson who

647
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 6: used the ball all year. And then the next interview

648
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 6: I see with Matt Painter, he's saying, yeah, we gotta

649
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 6: do something, and you know what I mean.

650
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 3: So like the coaches have talking Mark Fuse talked about it.

651
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 6: Alabama players were asked about it, and it is it

652
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 6: is something that you look at the shooting percentage of

653
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 6: the last few final fours in national championship games, and

654
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 6: throughout the tournament the shooting percentages dip wildly.

655
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 3: Like what about last night.

656
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 4: I know Houston's not a lights out team, but those

657
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 4: two teams were combined over thirteen to start the game.

658
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 4: Florida I think finishes twenty five percent, Houston twenty four percent.

659
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 4: We blame in the ball. I mean, there was good defense,

660
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 4: but those were some bad bricks last night.

661
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 6: Yeah, and there was actually a researcher from Syracuse. Rodney

662
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 6: Paul did do several studies and what he found was

663
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 6: and it's kind of hard to quantify it because how

664
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 6: do you say, Okay, that's shot went in what it

665
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 6: had gone in if they used a different ball.

666
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 3: So he said, it's a greater.

667
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 6: Than one point advantage for whoever if you're using this

668
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 6: ball has been used all year. But I'll tell you

669
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 6: the other thing that is insane with all the technology

670
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 6: we have, the NCAA is using a bounce test to

671
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 6: determine if the ball is bouncy enough.

672
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 3: Are you kidding me? What year is this?

673
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 6: Like it's yeah, like it's not a deal, Like there

674
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 6: isn't millions of dollars on the line here that there's not,

675
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 6: especially with all the gambling and everything. So like there

676
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 6: it feels like you can get you can get up.

677
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 6: It's something that shows you what the PSI is. And

678
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 6: that's the other thing that Bobby Press brought up to me.

679
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 6: The PSI is seven to nine uh uh PSI. Well

680
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 6: that's a pretty wide range actually, so if you go

681
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,439
Speaker 6: to the top end of that, it gets pretty bouncy.

682
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 6: And like I told you, like when what you knew

683
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 6: was spiked that ball I thought it might go through

684
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 6: the Almodome.

685
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 4: So like that is something. There's a good Isaac Huppery's

686
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 4: moment last night the team.

687
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 6: Can you believe that he got it? I mean, like

688
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 6: and they still won the game, Like that could have

689
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 6: been massive.

690
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 4: I did, like as soon as I saw you, immediately texted,

691
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 4: I'm surprised that balled in at the top of the

692
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 4: Alumado And there was a good joke.

693
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 3: There's our joke of the day.

694
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, but this is something that I'm glad you know

695
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 6: you have. Like I said, Scott Van Pelt, you've had

696
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 6: several coaches finally speak out about it, and you know,

697
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 6: a coach doesn't really want to say and a player

698
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 6: doesn't want to say, I mean, the ball is the problem.

699
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 6: So they're they're all kind of timid to talk about it,

700
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 6: especially during the season. But uh, you know, raising awareness,

701
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 6: that's that's that's what we're doing here, and we're gonna

702
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 6: hopefully see a universal basketball in college basketball. It's it's

703
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 6: absolutely ridiculous that depending on where you play, it depends

704
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 6: on like the sponsorship you have. So all the Nike

705
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 6: schools are using the Nike ball. If you're in an

706
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 6: Adida school. I guess it's open in your contract because

707
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 6: Louisville is using the Wilson evo. Uh, and then you

708
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 6: have Kansas using the Wilson EVO, and that is an

709
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 6: advantage going into the tournament. It didn't help Loveville very

710
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:28,239
Speaker 6: much this year. I don't know if you remember they

711
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 6: were beating the first round. Yeah right here down the street, right, yeah, yeah,

712
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 6: yeah crowd.

713
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 4: If I'm not mistaken, Yeah, a lot of seed and

714
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 4: a favorite, right yeah.

715
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 6: But they should have been a three seed, right, I

716
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 6: mean they just got yeah, so uh you know that.

717
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 6: But the ball is it is an issue. It does

718
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 6: affect the game, of course it does. When you are

719
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 6: shooting thousands of shots all season and you're calibrating, you know,

720
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 6: you're using muscle memory in these tense moments and the

721
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 6: most important games of your life. And they're like, here's

722
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 6: the new equipment to play with. That's that's insane to me.

723
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 6: All this stuff we're trying to do to benefit players.

724
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 6: This is an easy fix. It's so easy, and we

725
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 6: get nothing. It's you know, I know money is involved,

726
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 6: but just make a universal ball man like it.

727
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 3: One other league does this.

728
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 4: You mentioned how the coaches and players are afraid to

729
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 4: be too outspoken about it kind of would come off

730
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 4: as an excuse. You are the official leader of this,

731
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 4: Like what's next, You're gonna maybe like a five K

732
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 4: you're talking about raising awareness? Do you go out stand

733
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 4: outside arenas with a sign? Or you're gonna go to

734
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 4: Indian Appoll You're not going there, But are you gonna

735
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 4: petition the NCAA?

736
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 3: I mean, how do we keep this movement going? Yeah?

737
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 3: I mean I just think I'm gonna I definitely.

738
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 6: I think getting more players to talk about it will

739
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 6: eventually lead to some change. I definitely think that that

740
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 6: once people are realizing, because also the product is bad.

741
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 6: I mean, I watched that Kentucky Florida game that was

742
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 6: played in Ropperna one hundred and six to one hundred,

743
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 6: both teams just shooting lights. I have a hot take

744
00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 6: about that game. That's one of the greatest games ever

745
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 6: played in Arena.

746
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 3: I mean, it just it was. It was a fun game.

747
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 3: What did Pope say in the postgame press conference?

748
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 6: If you didn't enjoy that and find a new profession

749
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 6: or something like that, this is what he told the media. Uh,

750
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 6: then you watched last night's game and Granted Houston's a

751
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 6: great defensive team, but how many of those balls were

752
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 6: just like big guys are having problems with it getting

753
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 6: the ball to it does it goes, It bounces everywhere

754
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 6: but in the basket, And so I think to have

755
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 6: a better product, it would it would behoove the NCAA

756
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 6: to you know, universal basketballs. Let's if we're doing the

757
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 6: arc system, we're doing all this stuff to like perfect

758
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 6: our shots, and then you're then you just give them

759
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 6: a basketball that travels further. That doesn't make any sense,

760
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 6: especially when they're advertising extended range tech. They're like, oh, yeah,

761
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 6: you can shoot it further, and I and you can

762
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 6: and I don't. I know this might sound like I'm bragging,

763
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 6: but I'm like the fifth or sixth best shooter in

764
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 6: my Sunday night church.

765
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 4: Oh listen ASR followers, No, you can ball you and Jack,

766
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 4: Actually I had that on all this with topics.

767
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 3: Let's kind of just transition to that.

768
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, you all go to all these games and you

769
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 4: always leave the arena on a make k SR from

770
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 4: most people don't know. We're usually the last ones to

771
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 4: leave the building where, you know, working hard, it's always

772
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 4: a late night and you all stay in these away arenas.

773
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 4: I don't even know where you find a basketball, but

774
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 4: you've put a video out there.

775
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 3: Jack.

776
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 4: You all get a shot up everywhere you go. I've

777
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 4: participated in Nashville and a half court shot. Not bragging,

778
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 4: but bragging, but uh, talk about why you all do that,

779
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 4: how fun it is, and how hard it is to

780
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 4: find a ball.

781
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 3: Sometimes, because our job is very unseious, we understand that

782
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 3: we're blessed to be in this position, to be working

783
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 3: at KSR, to be covering the team as diehard Kentucky fans,

784
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 3: and we like basketball. So when we're at these cool venues,

785
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 3: we're like, hey, it'd be really cool to make a

786
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 3: shot at one of these. So it just kind of

787
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 3: became a thing. And yes, Steven will attest to this.

788
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 3: We will look under bleachers, we will go up in

789
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 3: the rafters, we will look everywhere for a steak a

790
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 3: ball in. We I have where was that? Actually, I

791
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 3: don't want to we don't want to say we haven't.

792
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 3: We keep this going statutal limitations, but we we have

793
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 3: stuck a ball in at one of the locations and

794
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 3: we did use that ball for a shot. So yeah,

795
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 3: it's it's it's our favorite tradition and hopefully we can

796
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 3: do that in Indianapolis at the Final four nexture because

797
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 3: they kicked us off the floor. Uh this past this

798
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 3: past cycle, sou not not big fans of the NC

799
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:12,959

800
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 3: the I've never seen anything so strict.

801
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 6: It's like, I mean, seriously, it's like Fort Knox, Like

802
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 6: you get down there on the court and they're like,

803
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 6: you know that the nuclear codes right at mid court,

804
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 6: Like it's it's crazy how strict they are. I mean,

805
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 6: I got really streamed at pretty fiercely to get off.

806
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 4: You and Mario get yelled at for even getting a

807
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 4: drink of water at these things. I guess because you're

808
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 4: both doing video you have a different they hate. But

809
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,719
Speaker 4: they will not let you anywhere. You go to all

810
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 4: these games and you're working hard and you watch them

811
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 4: in the back on a TV without sound because they

812
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 4: won't even let you stick your head around the corner

813
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 4: to look at the arenas.

814
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 6: Where I saw the way game winner against the in

815
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 6: the SEC tournament was like by myself behind the and

816
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 6: they're like one of the darkest parts of the world

817
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 6: was where that that area is for the SEC tournament.

818
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 3: But yeah, finding a basketball we saw with flat basketballs, yeah,

819
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 3: we we usually the that we find that are just

820
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 3: kind of by themselves typically pretty flat. Part of the

821
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 3: reason why we, you know, get some friendly rolls at

822
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 3: some of our shots. But hey, hey, we we'll ignore

823
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:09,719

00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 4: hear about some of your travel stories. We're just gonna

891
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 4: play a little game. I'm gonna name a city or

892
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 4: a place. We don't have time for a lengthy story,

893
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 4: but if you got anything where you hate the place,

894
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 4: have a memory fired away. I'm gonna start with my

895
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 4: favorite place in the world because I've been there with Stephen. Jack,

896
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 4: You've been there with Stephen Round one, New York City.

897
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 6: Uh. Well, first the trip with Jack, we actually moved

898
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 6: to a different hotel because I wasn't supposed to go.

899
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 6: But then we decided, oar, we'll send Metal House, State,

900
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 6: Big Game, CBS Sports Classic.

901
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 3: We get there, this is this past season, past season.

902
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 3: We get there. There's one king sized bed. I've done

903
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 3: that with Matt. So yeah. So the first night I

904
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:45,280
Speaker 3: said we left because it was the Pineapple Suite. Initially, yeah,

905
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 3: we were like, you know the vibe, I just don't

906
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 3: know if it's you know, Pineapple. That's exactly why we

907
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 3: we knew we had to. We didn't want to, you know,

908
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 3: give off the wrong vit. Do we need to send

909
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 3: you guys to HR you know, it's this is a

910
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 3: business trip, So I I did. I supped on the

911
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 3: floor the first night.

912
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 6: And then Jack Jack had had like he just schedules

913
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 6: flights at the most like I feel like inconvenient time.

914
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 6: He's like, is there a three fifteen am flight? I

915
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 6: can get on whatever? Because I don't think he slept,

916
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 6: and then he just like did you even go to sleep?

917
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 3: Like took a forty minute nap? There you got like

918
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 3: buddy the elf. I got a nice forty minutes.

919
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 4: That happened to me with Matt New York. And I

920
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 4: just left and said I'll see you tomorrow. And I

921
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 4: stayed out all night, even found a place that was

922
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 4: like underground after hours to hang out with bartenders. The

923
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 4: Irish bartender's just gotten off work, showed back up at

924
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:31,919
Speaker 4: seven am.

925
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 3: It's all right, you stayed at night and Jack Dimpsey's

926
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 3: at times they gave me the key. I got to

927
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 3: be the only person there.

928
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 6: But the other part was I think you were talking

929
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 6: about the Zimbabwe Christmas. That was a different Steve and

930
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 6: I had.

931
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 4: Fun in New York as the UCLA game gave that

932
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,880

00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:08,640

Speaker 4: A KSR road trip, you know what you're gonna get.

942
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 4: Did you think we would be celebrating Zimbabwe and Christmas?

943
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 3: Actually it sounded pretty unbranded. I thought that kuffs exactly

944
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:18,280
Speaker 3: what I expected.

945
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 4: Ye had a good good time of their good friends

946
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 4: in of there. Let's keep moving on with the game.

947
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 4: My least favorite place it started with My favorite. I'm

948
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 4: gonna go to my least favorite, Starkville, Mississippi.

949
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 3: We went three days early because there was supposed to

950
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 3: be an ice storm. There was no ice, so we

951
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 3: just stayed three extra days in Starkville. One of the

952
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 3: times we were leaving our hotel room, uh, we just

953
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 3: hear this massive banging from the second second story. We're like, WHOA,

954
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 3: something's going on. This woman, clearly the cleaning late crew

955
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,240
Speaker 3: was like frantically waving. We were like, she just found

956
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 3: a dead body. We're we're staying at a hotel where

957
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 3: they just found a dead body in this hotel, in

958
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 3: this hotel room. So we run back inside. We go

959
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 3: to the front desk. Hey, I think there's somebody dead

960
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 3: ups there. Somebody should call a nine that one. Then

961
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,799
Speaker 3: the sweet cleaning lady comes down says, oh, I thought

962
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,879
Speaker 3: you were Austin, said, I'm not Austin. I don't think

963
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 3: Stephen is Austin unless he goes by another name. But

964
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 3: you recognize this from KSR YouTube. Yes, but yes, we

965
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 3: avoided death in Starkville, but that didn't make me want

966
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 3: to be there any longer anyway.

967
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 4: Trying to think of some other unique places, Steven, you

968
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 4: you went across the pond to London. Yeah, that was

969
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 4: another We lost that one, right, No, we beat Michigan. Oh,

970
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 4: it's right, beat Michigan. Yeah, cow was mean to Tyller Thompson.

971
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 4: I'm still mad about you.

972
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 3: Yeah. Otherwise, Yeah, London was cool.

973
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 6: I think what that did is it kind of just

974
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 6: showed me how big big Blue Nation is. Because I

975
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 6: was meeting Kentucky fans from Spain, from Italy, from uh

976
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 6: they had. I had a long conversation with this kid

977
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 6: who's a big Kentucky fan, never will go to Reparna,

978
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 6: but he lives in England.

979
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 3: Uh.

980
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 6: I thought that was so cool because I think, like

981
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 6: you live here in Kentucky, you just it's like it's

982
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 6: our team. But then you're it's like, oh no, this

983
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 6: is like international, like this is like the world's team.

984
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 6: And so that was like a kind of an eye

985
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 6: open experience to how big big Blue Nation is. And uh,

986
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 6: you know, we have a guy Clint who's who's in Cyprus.

987
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 6: I would still talk with him like they're The London

988
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 6: trip was kind of an eye opening to, uh, you know,

989
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 6: the reach that Kentucky basketball has a Williams there. I

990
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 6: didn't see Bix. No, I did not any weed to Bix.

991
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 6: But but I will say I just the food there.

992
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,439
Speaker 6: I you know, people talk about it. I don't I didn't.

993
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 6: I didn't have a problem. I didn't problem with the

994
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 6: I don't know why people hate on they have all

995
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 6: the different cuisines that we have here.

996
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 4: I don't we all have to get out of our

997
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 4: a little comfort zone trying new things. Back to the

998
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 4: sec How about uh Tuscaloosa.

999
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 3: Oh that's a that's a Stephen story story. Can I

1000
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 3: hate on the place that? I mean we got? Okay? Well,

1001
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 3: all right, well BUCkies, Well I love BUCkies. I love them.

1002
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 3: I love what they're about.

1003
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 6: Unfortunately, I I ate a was egg and cheese sandwich

1004
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 6: and that biscuit, and that ruined my night in tuscal Lousa.

1005
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 6: So I remember on the rapid reaction no no, And

1006
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:56,800
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, I think if Kentucky would have

1007
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 6: pulled that off about it would have helped a little bit.

1008
00:41:58,520 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 6: But that was that was a rough night.

1009
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 3: He was running to the bathroom into and Coleman Collis

1010
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 3: seemed vomiting everywhere. Yes, it was. It was horrible. Most

1011
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 3: of these travel stories backfired. It seems like a lot

1012
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 3: of negatives.

1013
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:10,879
Speaker 6: I think of some centiment twist and a drink from

1014
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 6: Taco bell and and you were like a brand new person.
