69
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 4: I've got my pants on. I didn't feel like I

70
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 4: needed to wear a dress shirt to the show here.

71
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 4: But yes, it's in the car, so you're going to

72
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 4: change in the car on our drive. I mean I

73
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 4: could put it on in one second before I get

74
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,399
Speaker 4: in the car. Won't take too long.

75
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 2: I was thinking when I put this suit on, I

76
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 2: do not remember the last time I wore the suit.

77
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 2: This was back when I was on television. I had

78
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 2: to wear a suit every day, and this is like

79
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,839
Speaker 2: kind of a gray suit, so you know, you don't

80
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: wear it to like Keenlyn, right, So I cannot remember

81
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: the last time I wore it. It's probably been four

82
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: years since i've had that, since I've had these clothes.

83
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 3: You say that you used to wear a suit every

84
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 3: day for your television show, so you know how to

85
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 3: tie a tie, you know all how to do all that.

86
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 2: Well, I didn't do a tie. I went, I went

87
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: no tie, but I have drew. It was weird getting

88
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 2: back into this world. I mean, both when I was

89
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: a lawyer and on television, you had to wear a tie.

90
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: Now I dress horribly, and so it's it's odd getting

91
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 2: back to it.

92
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 4: I probably wear elastic waistbands most days pants or shorts.

93
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 4: But I still I keep a few nice things when

94
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,839
Speaker 4: I need them. I have noticed I've dropped a few

95
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 4: pounds since I bought my black and navy suits. Those

96
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 4: can't be worn anymore. So though they're out, they're gone.

97
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 4: You gotta find a good tailor. Probably I didn't know

98
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 4: why I shrunk that much, but I put it on,

99
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 4: like do someone switch these out? So I need to

100
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 4: go shopping. I've learned, but I was still had enough

101
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 4: for today.

102
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 2: I have one jacket that is my test, my fitness

103
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 2: level jacket because when I put it on, I you

104
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: know when I got it. Bomani Jones told me once

105
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 2: he was like, if you ever have the ability, at

106
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 2: least buy one suit that is tailored, because he was like,

107
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 2: you will feel like a million bucks in it, right, Okay,

108
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 2: and he's right about that. Now that's expensive, but so

109
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 2: I have one. And when I put that jacket on,

110
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 2: that's how I know where I am on the weight scales.

111
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 2: So it's actually pretty good today. But I put it

112
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 2: on like two months ago, and that was when I

113
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 2: thought time to get back to the trader.

114
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 3: I like that look good, feel good, A little pushing

115
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 3: and pulling always helps with that too, And no nerd

116
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 3: Gummies today, so you can fit it.

117
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 2: I've stopped eating those for a while. Really, candies where

118
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 2: it gets you you put candy is where you put

119
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: on weight, in my opinion, and I was. I was

120
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 2: in in part because I said I liked it, and

121
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 2: every single person I met would bring me back so it.

122
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 2: There was a time I had sixteen bags of nerd

123
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 2: Gummies in my house and when they're there, Drew, you

124
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: gotta eat them. You're not gonna not eat them. So

125
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 2: you're talking to a guy who let me look at

126
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 2: the clock. It has not been eleven hours since I

127
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 2: took down a bag of Nerds Gummies.

128
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 4: Had some in bed last night. Now that's when I

129
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 4: might be getting back into those suits soon. That's why

130
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 4: I didn't throw them out days. When you eat candy

131
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 4: in bed, listen, that's when you know. That's what see

132
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 4: you're shaking your head, sir.

133
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 2: That's when you know things aren't going well when you're

134
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 2: eating candy or ice cream in bed. Oh yeah, that's

135
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 2: a double whammy of getting big.

136
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 4: I hosted Easter this year and we family loves to

137
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 4: bring the Eastern candy and they play the hits. I

138
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 4: have all my candy selection is on point right now,

139
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 4: and I just couldn't resist. At about eleven thirty.

140
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 2: Well, we were going to Shannon's. We're going to the funeral.

141
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 2: It's in Bullock County. This will be this first time

142
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 2: you've ever been in to Bullock first time, Yes, first

143
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 2: time you've ever you know, for to be as close

144
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 2: to Louisville as it is, I've only been a handful

145
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 2: of time. I've only been to Mount Washington, which is

146
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 2: where we're going. Like once, it's part of the again,

147
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 2: part of the mystery of Shannon. Like I've been to

148
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:29,800

Speaker 2: Who I've been good friends with since I was eighteen.

157
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 2: Never met his family, never seen where he lived. I

158
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 2: think about that. I've known him since I was eighteen,

159
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 2: never met his parents, never met his brother, never been

160
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 2: in the house he's ever occupied. So some people are

161
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 2: just like that, Drew, Shannon's kind of like that.

162
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 4: Su're not getting catfished on that one. No, Shannon is

163
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 4: I don't know what Shannon drives.

164
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 2: If you took me to Louisville right now, I don't

165
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 2: know what Shannon drives.

166
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 4: The iHeart car when I see him. But if you

167
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 4: took me to Louisville right now and drop me off

168
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 4: without a phone and said fine, Shannon, I wouldn't know

169
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 4: what to do.

170
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 2: I don't Shannon does drive the iHeart Car wherever he

171
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 2: gets a chance. My man does not want to use gas.

172
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 2: He is in the iHeart Car everywhere we go. But

173
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 2: anyway we'll be heading there and I know we will

174
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 2: pass on everybody I know on the show's prayers. All right,

175
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 2: So let's let's talk about the big news from yesterday.

176
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 2: I reported, and then some other people agreed that it

177
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 2: is unlikely Drew, that there will be significant staff changes,

178
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 2: and there might be no staff changes on the basketball staff.

179
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: They may run it back with the same group Orlando

180
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 2: chin Well, Smart and Bruiser Flint and then Chris Wollard

181
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 2: is head of basketball operations. I was very surprised. I mean,

182
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 2: my assumption was gonna be well, I'll just tell you,

183
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 2: I thought we I thought Kentucky would keep Orlando Antigua.

184
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 2: I thought they'd keep Martin and Welsh, and I thought

185
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 2: there was a good chance the other guys were replaced.

186
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 2: I'm really surprised. I'm not like angry like Ultimately, I

187
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 2: guess the theory is Caw gets another ride, so let

188
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 2: him do it his way. But it is a big

189
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 2: surprise to me, to be.

190
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 4: Honest with you, me too, there was even whispers of

191
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 4: changes before they lost to Oakland, just that Cal might

192
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 4: do something this summer before it even went really bad

193
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 4: in the NAA tournament. Like you said, it's his legacy

194
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 4: in front of him, and he he has to build

195
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 4: the staff around him, and he knows how those guys

196
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 4: have been the last three or four years when it

197
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 4: hasn't been good. So if he trusts them to run

198
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 4: it back, that will fall on him, not me in

199
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 4: my seat over here, I would think you need something

200
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 4: different just because the defense has been so bad, and

201
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 4: you're talking about making these changes of the games different.

202
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 4: But if he doesn't go that route, you know, I

203
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 4: think the fans all look at that like, well, that's

204
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 4: on another thing on cows plate. Heading into this next year.

205
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 2: It just feels like you want to do I mean,

206
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 2: it feels like you'd want to do something different, like

207
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: just for pr just because like it's clear this hasn't worked.

208
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 2: Don't we want to try something different? I mean, you know,

209
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 2: I I hate how this looks like it's gonna be.

210
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 2: So let me give you a perfect example. Last night

211
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: to McDonald's All American Game, and in the years past

212
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 2: I've watched, if not all of them, most of them.

213
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 2: We had Boogie Flann play, Carter Knox, and Jaden Quaintance.

214
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 2: I did not see it. Now, I had some other

215
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 2: things I had to do, so I couldn't have watched

216
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 2: it either way. But I looked at it this morning

217
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 2: and I saw Boogie Flann looks like he played pretty well.

218
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: He hit the shot that ended up winning that the

219
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 2: put back that ended up winning the game. Jaden Quainton's

220
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 2: had some moments, Carter Knox had some moments. The kid

221
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 2: going to Rutgers looks awesome. And I read all that,

222
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 2: but like I kind of wonder, as a fan base,

223
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 2: are we excited like in years past, you would see

224
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 2: dudes like Ball in the McDonald's game and you'd go there,

225
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 2: we go like, there's another group. Do you think fans

226
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 2: are excited? I'll just be honest, I was trying to

227
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not gonna be down on those kids,

228
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 2: because it's none of this is their fault. But it's

229
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 2: hard to get excited about a new group.

230
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 3: Well, not yet. I mean this city will make you excited. Well,

231
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 3: probably just the season about to start, and you know

232
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 3: the rhetoric rampant will make you.

233
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: Let me put it a different way, what will make

234
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 2: you optimistic? I liked, contrary to Goober's on Twitter, I

235
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 2: like to be optimistic. Optimism is a much more fun

236
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 2: emotion than bestimism. Right. What was it going to take

237
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 2: you to be optimistic about mixture? Well?

238
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 3: I thought we were going to see some change. I

239
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 3: thought that, you know, we're going to stop being our

240
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 3: head against the wall. Cow might talk to the media

241
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 3: a little bit more. You might see a staffer at

242
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 3: the Kentucky State championship game.

243
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 2: For now, you're being pessimizing. What will it take for

244
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 2: you to be optimal?

245
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 3: Change? Any kind of change, A change that's different from

246
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 3: the formula that we've seen fail the last five years.

247
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 4: Is there something that would make you optimist? Maybe some

248
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 4: some guys back, like Shepherd comes back.

249
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 2: Well, I think that Wagner or a big ZP Reed

250
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 2: Shepherd would be the one that I think every single

251
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 2: person would be optimistic. You know, I still I believe

252
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 2: that when I see it, what if? What if? Let

253
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 2: me give you a potential, realistic standard, And would you

254
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 2: be optimistic if DJ, Wagner, a Due and a big

255
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 2: came back joined these freshmen and you got one or

256
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 2: two good dud good dudes in the portal?

257
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 4: You optimistic about next year? I would say I would

258
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 4: have some optimism. I won't be half as optimistic as

259
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 4: I was last year. All right, would you be optimistic?

260
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 3: I think I'd be starting to be a little optimistic

261
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 3: because you're seeing some change when it comes to not

262
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 3: just relying on freshmen and two graduate seniors as as

263
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 3: your player.

264
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 2: You So, for you guys, a couple dudes coming back

265
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 2: is the thing, because that shows me the culture's changing

266
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 2: a little bit. Okay, But if it's just the reset

267
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 2: button with freshmen that we don't think are gonna be

268
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 2: as good a last year as freshman. I mean it's

269
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: hard to get excited. I mean, we did.

270
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 4: I watched that game last night, you did, or I

271
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 4: watched the replay this morning. Uh kind of fast forward

272
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 4: through commercials and I don't want to take away from

273
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 4: what they're doing, but I'm sitting there going DJ Wagner

274
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 4: was the MVP last year. He and winner Aaron Bradgall

275
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 4: had a double double. I mean, they were the stars

276
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 4: of the game last year, so like, and it didn't translate.

277
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 4: So even though I was excited when Quentin's made some plays,

278
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 4: he was pretty good defensively. I enjoyed seeing that. The

279
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 4: back of my head's like, does that mean nothing to Kentucky.

280
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 2: I'm glad Quaintin it's gonna be here too years. That

281
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 2: is actually a part because you know, his age is

282
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 2: such that he can't go to the draft after a year.

283
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 2: So but again in the portal era, he's gonna be

284
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 2: somewhere two years. Hopefully it's here two years. But I

285
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 2: just wonder that's a good question for fans too, like

286
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 2: what is it that makes you guys excitement? Because I

287
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 2: you know, I do not want to spend now until

288
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 2: November like negative, But at the same time, the staff

289
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 2: thing is a big thing to me. I mean, I

290
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 2: just think the staff has they're you know, Cal's late

291
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 2: game coaching, substitution patterns. That's all on him, right, that's

292
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 2: all on him. I don't put that on the staff.

293
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,719
Speaker 2: But you know, as Frank said, there's a couple of

294
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 2: dudes who just weren't doing what they's I mean, they

295
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 2: just it's true. And people can ignore that and not

296
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 2: and that's fine. If you want to not think that's true,

297
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 2: that's fine, but it is true. And everybody around the

298
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 2: program knows it. I've talked to everyone I know to

299
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 2: talk to and whether they love Cow, and I have

300
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 2: some friends who love Cow, and I have some friends

301
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 2: who really want him gone. They all have the same view.

302
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 2: I cannot believe he's bringing that house. I mean, like,

303
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 2: no one can believe it. If that ends up being true,

304
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 2: and again, maybe that'll change. It changed last week, three dudes,

305
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 2: we're not gonna be here. Well, now it's changed, maybe

306
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 2: it'll change again. That just shocks me.

307
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 4: But I just don't know when he when he did

308
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 4: that thing with Mitch, and he's talking about how we're

309
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,320

311
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 4: it doesn't seem like there's much changes at all, really,

312
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 4: And I know the portal's just getting started. I'm not

00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 4: do stuff, but staff.

00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 2: real life.

332
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 3: I think I do. Uh, it's it's switched off a

333
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 3: little bit after the first few episodes of Fade This. Honestly,

334
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 3: it started doubting myself a little bit when I couldn't

335
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 3: get somebody on the phone. But besides that, we slicked

336
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 3: back the hair and confident everywhere.

337
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I think I think people like you on

338
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 2: Fade This more than they've ever liked you.

339
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 3: But really, oh.

340
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 2: Don't you think Sondrew?

341
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely, I mean, and you do a great job

342
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 4: of calling around the Turkey Hunter.

343
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 2: The Turkey Hunter said to me that he thinks Fade

344
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 2: This is the best thing KSR has ever done. And

345
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 2: he says he thinks you're a big part of that,

346
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 2: and like he's a harsh critic.

347
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 3: Wow, well, and I see the text.

348
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 2: Matt's not wrong.

349
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 4: I got positive bility.

350
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 2: There is more billy positive feedback. I think they like you, Billy,

351
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 2: because you're more like yourself in that than like I

352
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 2: think people think you're like trying to be too confident,

353
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 2: but you you're you in that. But but actually you

354
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 2: are confident. You literally during the break told me you

355
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 2: look like Keanu Reeves.

356
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 4: Well, well, we actually need to talk about how that

357
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 4: conversation went. I kind of caught in half of it.

358
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 4: You were asking him who called him that? And he replied,

359
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 4: he said it's the hair, and you're like, who said it?

360
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 4: And then we learned no one said you.

361
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 2: Just said you look like Reeves. I mean again, like, okay,

362
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 2: So I'm the guy that if I were to go

363
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 2: out and be interested in a woman and I I

364
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 2: tried to hit on her and she turned me down,

365
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 2: I couldn't hit on somebody again for like a month.

366
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 2: I feel like Billy's a guy that goes up, throws

367
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,719
Speaker 2: nine non strikeouts, gets non strikeouts tenth, he still believes

368
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,479
Speaker 2: he's hitting a home run. I actually I envy that.

369
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 2: I'm not kidding you. I think that's like good for you.

370
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 4: He's the Thomas Edison of hitting on women.

371
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 2: All those no's are just steps along the way. I'm

372
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 2: not saying he's hitting on women, but you just have

373
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 2: that kind of like that about you.

374
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 3: Well, I'm happily engaged, but you know what, if you

375
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 3: strike out, you've got to get back to the plate

376
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 3: and show that you belong there. And that's what I

377
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 3: feel like I do every day.

378
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 2: Well, you do you did, You did it, did a

379
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 2: great job. Before we get phones ask anything. Wednesday, one

380
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 2: person writes, Matt, I saw on Twitter Cal Perry turned

381
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 2: you down to come on the show. Did you really

382
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 2: think he was going to do it? Uh? No, I didn't.

383
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 2: But here's so, just so, and people who listen to

384
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 2: this show know this on Twitter. It took a life

385
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 2: of its own because again, people who don't listen make assumptions.

386
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 2: I asked him and wanted to give the answer just

387
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 2: that's because I'm sort of tired of people going, well,

388
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 2: do you even ask him to come on? I wanted

389
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 2: to ask him through the official route. Call the university,

390
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 2: do what every other show would do. Call the University

391
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 2: of Kentucky, Say can I have John call? Because it

392
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 2: used to be I just call hey, man, Cal you

393
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 2: think you can do it, right, I'll call Mark or

394
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 2: Vince directly, or call the football contact. It's like so

395
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 2: I wanted to go through the official channels. The person said,

396
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 2: we'll see what we can do, and then came back

397
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 2: and said, no, I did not expect him to do it,

398
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 2: but I wanted to be official about it, so that

399
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 2: like it's known, we tried, and that's that I'm not

400
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 2: mad about it. I assumed he wouldn't. But that's why

401
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 2: I did it that way.

402
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 4: You just got to show that you made the effort

403
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 4: and went to the proper avenue to ask. Do you

404
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 4: want me to ask? Today?

405
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 2: I think I think the asking is is probably done

406
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 2: for a while.

407
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, well the pre show has an ask in

408
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 3: as well, so hopefully that doorstone.

409
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 2: What if Keano here gets even and we don't, I'll

410
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 2: tell you what, I'll skip Simmons for the show.

411
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 4: He had a big pre show this morning. I'm driving

412
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 4: over and I'm like, how do I know?

413
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 3: This voice was that Tom Tom Crean had Tom Crean,

414
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 3: Tommy Crane.

415
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 2: Dange your boy, I love you and Tom Crean are friends.

416
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 4: That that kind of some breaking news on there today too, right,

417
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,239
Speaker 4: Billy didn't he kind of mention that the uh the

418
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 4: Indiana series, Oh Indiana Kentucky.

419
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 3: Well yeah, he said that, uh, cal Perry wanted it

420
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 3: to come back, and that it just the Indiana administration

421
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 3: did not want to attend the tournament that Kentucky has

422
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 3: with Ohio State and North Carolina. Uh, that rivalry was

423
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 3: going to be renewed.

424
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 2: Oh so they want so, so I invited Indiana in

425
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 2: instead of.

426
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 3: Indiana's administration said now.

427
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 2: That I kind of blame them, matt He said, I

428
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 2: always thought Indiana would be better for that series than

429
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: Ohio State. That's interesting that that ended up happening. By

430
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 2: the way, a lot of whispers out there, uh, from

431
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 2: from people that Tennessee Matthew Mitchell, what would that? Oh, yeah,

432
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 2: there's a lot of there's a lot of Knoxville scuttle

433
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 2: butt about that. I have no idea. I have no idea.

434
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 2: I haven't talked to Matthew and it's not but there's

435
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 2: some of the Knoxville radio shows are saying so that

436
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 2: would be interesting if that ends up happening like that.

437
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 2: Who's up first, Paul, go ahead, Paul.

438
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 5: Hey, guys, So two questions. Do you you said that

439
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 5: that Mitch went in there with a list of demands.

440
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 5: Do you think cal has just said appeased them at

441
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 5: the time and now has gone back and said, hey,

442
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 5: you're just gonna deal with that.

443
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 2: I'm not changing. I have no idea, to be honest

444
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 2: with you, I think there were things that Mitch wanted

445
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 2: to see changed, and I think there were agreements about

446
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 2: most of those. Maybe one or two there were still disagreements.

447
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 2: But it's hard for me to answer. I mean, you

448
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 2: can assume by me thinking there were gonna be staff

449
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 2: changes why I thought that, But as to where we

450
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 2: are right now, I think I would be I'd be

451
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 2: lying if I I said I knew how we got

452
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 2: to this spot. I will tell you what is this Wednesday.

453
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 2: I think everyone on Friday went off to their weekends,

454
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 2: assuming we were going to see staff changes by I'm Monday,

455
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 2: your Tuesday. That's clearly not happened. How we got to

456
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 2: that point. To be honest with you, I don't know

457
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 2: the answer to that.

458
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 5: Okay, Well, in my opinion, I mean the way that

459
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 5: you guys have talked about how you know, being honest,

460
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 5: that you think there needs to be a change, and

461
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 5: now with this, to me, you solidifies that he's not

462
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 5: going to change. It's just going to be the same

463
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 5: thing again. And in your opinion, I mean, what do

464
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 5: you feel like at the end of next season where

465
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 5: this program goes.

466
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, I don't know. I appreciate

467
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 2: the call. I think for all of our sakes it

468
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 2: needs to you know, no matter what happens after that,

469
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 2: we need this year to be good, Drew, But I

470
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 2: have no idea. I mean, first of all, how could

471
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 2: you have an idea? We have no idea what the

472
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 2: roster's going to be, right, We have no idea. We

473
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 2: have no idea how good. I mean, just think about

474
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 2: the freshman class. Whatever you think Boogie Flann, Carter Knox,

475
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 2: Billy Richmond, Jaden Quainton, Samto Surreal and Travis Perry are

476
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 2: gonna be just think about last year's class. Everything we

477
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 2: thought about those guys was almost the opposite. The three

478
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 2: highest touted guys actually didn't have great years until the end.

479
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 2: Justin Edwards played pretty well, DJ was okay, Ree Shepherd

480
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 2: and Rob Dillingham with the two best guys. So I

481
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 2: have no idea. I mean, I here's one thing I

482
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 2: would say. We don't have anybody in the class next year, Drew.

483
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 2: That's can't miss, right, correct.

484
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 4: And I enjoyed watching Boogie Flann think he would be good.

485
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 4: But they're still gonna need some portal guard that can't

486
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 4: be your main guard going into next year. If they're

487
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 4: not able to get guys back from this team. Yeah,

488
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 4: I think most of the guys we get in the

489
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 4: portal will be guards.

490
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 2: Don't you. I hope so I think I think it

491
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 2: was gonna see look, I mean you're gonna need more. Well,

492
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 2: we just I mean, how do we have any shooters

493
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 2: right now? Like and he's not a very good shot.

494
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 4: I mean Travis Perry, but we don't Travis Peary, we don't.

495
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 2: Travis Perry is the one shooter they're gonna have to

496
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 2: go get. They're gonna have to go get shooters through Franklin,

497
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 2: Matt Jones, Keanu Reeves. We will take a break. You're

498
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,720

Speaker 2: want you all. Your all's job is one person, writes Matt.

Speaker 2: ks R the radio show. Uh. Yes, I've had a

510
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 2: few TV's hard. I'm just not it's just another job.

511
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 2: I don't know that I want anytime soon. Maybe maybe

512
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 2: someday we are we I announced this earlier this week,

513
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 2: but we have a new person starting at KSR Monday.

514
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 2: He's going to be our social media guru. But he's

515
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 2: also going to help us have more video of the show,

516
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,359

517
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 2: dressed more often as we are gonna have more video

518
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 2: on the show. I don't think we'll live stream it,

519
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 2: but we will have clips and videos and all that.

520
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 2: And he starts. I think I can announce him tomorrow,

521
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 2: so but I'm very much looking forward to it. He's

522
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 2: a great dude, and I think he's going to We

523
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 2: need some young energy. Billy's the youngest one we have

524
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,479
Speaker 2: and he's Keanu Reeves, so we need This is a

525
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,360
Speaker 2: young guy and he's gonna, I think, do a really,

526
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 2: really good job.

527
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 3: Ready to get on the TikTok.

528
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 2: Here's what I'm doing with TikTok. I'm just handing it

529
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 2: to him, just so people know I'm not running my TikTok.

530
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 2: I'm handing it to him and say you're in charge

531
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 2: of my TikTok and if you something stupid, it's him.

532
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 2: I'm not doing it because I don't know how to

533
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 2: do it. Uh, you know I discovered the duke players TikTok.

534
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, McCain.

535
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Actually I want to do this in a second,

536
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 2: But Rick, do you have you have the video I

537
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 2: sent yesterday? Right? Uh, that's right, Okay, pull it up

538
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 2: for in a minute and I'll play it because I

539
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 2: we'll talk about that in a second. All right, Who's

540
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 2: up next?

541
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 4: Got Jim up next?

542
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 2: Jim, go ahead, Jim ask anything Wednesday?

543
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 6: Just a question of all of you.

544
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 7: I have a theory that the COVID years.

545
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:39,199
Speaker 6: And the n I l is push this new trend

546
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 6: in the older teams being the ones that's in the

547
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 6: finals and all this. Do you feel that we're going

548
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 6: to be switching as this all wears down and we

549
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 6: actually have four year seniors that we're going to go

550
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 6: back to swing in to the freshman.

551
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I mean it's so so Cali

552
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 2: Perry would say, you're right, okay, So Cali Perry Drew

553
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 2: would probably say look, the the reason all these old

554
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 2: teams are winning is COVID gave another year, and there's

555
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 2: a ton of fifth years, and so everybody's old. And

556
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 2: he would probably say, soon as those guys get out

557
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 2: and next year's there last year, right, then that's gonna

558
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 2: be it. Maybe I think the counter to that would be, though,

559
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 2: now people can stay longer and can be successful. So

560
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 2: I appreciate the call. Here's the counter, and this is

561
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 2: what I believe. Now that the portal exists and you

562
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 2: can go pick the mid major guys you want and

563
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 2: they don't have to sit out, I think we're staying

564
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 2: old because think of it like you're gambling in Vegas.

565
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 2: I go look at high school kids. There's some chances

566
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 2: to win big odds. There are also some big failures, right,

567
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 2: But I consider mid majors like blackjack. Right, If I

568
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 2: see a dude who scored twenty one a game at

569
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 2: Northern Colorado, it's not a crazy bet to think he'll

570
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 2: be pretty good in the SEC. Right, What a crazy

571
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 2: bet to look at a kid that was first team

572
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 2: All Conference and go, maybe that'll work here. So I

573
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 2: think you're actually getting better odds at your bets with

574
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 2: mid majors, which I think is gonna make schools do

575
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 2: it more, which I think is gonna leave college basketball old.

576
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 2: What do you think?

577
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 4: Completely agree? I even thought that going into this season.

578
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 4: It's the transfer portal. It's not the COVID players we

579
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 4: keep talking about. They're all at different schools. They get

580
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 4: to their senior year and they all meet up at

581
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 4: a Florida or at Arkansas or a Baylor, and suddenly

582
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 4: you have three guys that were never going to be

583
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 4: on a team that was that good because they were

584
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 4: kind of the star where they were, and now they've

585
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 4: linked up at a bigger school with better coaching, better opportunities,

586
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 4: playing a better schedule, and that's not going anywhere. I

587
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 4: don't think when he talks about the twenty seven year olds,

588
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:45,479
Speaker 4: how many twenty seven are there?

589
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 2: I know there's no but here's some twenty four and

590
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 2: twenty fot how many.

591
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 4: Of those are truly making a difference. When when Kentucky

592
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 4: had Trey Mitchell and Antonio Reeves one year younger than

593
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 4: Jack Golkie, I mean, did that Golkie's extra year make

594
00:27:58,920 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 4: that big of a difference.

595
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 2: No.

596
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 4: I think that the portal has changed everything, not the

597
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 4: extra COVID year.

598
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 2: You know, Cal used to always talk about when Ky's

599
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 2: come to college. They're so young, they've never lived on

600
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 2: their own. There's like a lot of just life changes

601
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 2: that occur when you're eighteen years old. Think about how

602
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 2: you were like when you were eighteen. You're away from home,

603
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 2: and then he's doing all that and trying to then

604
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 2: get them to a national title. The twenty one year

605
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 2: old kid coming from northern Colorado or Illinois day, you

606
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 2: don't have to worry about any of that. You've seen

607
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 2: whether or not he can adjust to college. You've seen

608
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 2: what kind of teammate he is, You've seen what kind

609
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 2: of human being he is. So you know, the NBA

610
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 2: many years ago decided to stop picking kids out of

611
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 2: high school. The main reason was they said, this is

612
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 2: too big a gamble to give these eighteen year olds

613
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 2: twenty million dollars and we don't even know what's gonna happen.

614
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 2: They said, one year of college gives us more insight.

615
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 2: What I think colleges are gonna say is three years

616
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 2: that Weber State gives me a lot more insight than

617
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 2: high school in AAU and I'm just gonna do that.

618
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 3: You guys mentioned the portal nil is gonna keep fringe

619
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 3: first round draft, yes there, yes, And you also saw

620
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 3: who played well in Kentucky's NCAA tournament games. It was

621
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 3: Antonio Reeves and Trey Mitchell. Those are guys that have

622
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 3: been on that stage before Zach zach Edy.

623
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 2: Comes back to college because of Nile. They are in

624
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 2: the final four because Zach Edy got in Ale and

625
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 2: it was better for him to do that than go

626
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 2: be a second round pick. Now he's probably gonna be

627
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 2: a lottery pick. So it ended up being a great decision.

628
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 2: So I agree with that, Billy. I think Nil's part

629
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 2: of it.

630
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 4: Too, and some of it's just they've already been in school.

631
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 4: They're old, they're adults. They don't need to have their

632
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 4: handheld all the time like a freshman would. They've already

633
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 4: lost conference tournament games, They've picked themselves up for the

634
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 4: next year. They've lost plenty of games, they've not made

635
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 4: the INSAA tournament. They have all these things they've already

636
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 4: experienced and been through. And then they're in their fourth

637
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 4: year and they're able to transfer to a big school

638
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 4: with bigger opportunities, and they've already gone through a lot already,

639
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 4: even if wasn't a mid major.

640
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 2: If so, I still think you're gonna see gambles on

641
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 2: high school kids. I just I think you're gonna se

642
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 2: as many. And here's what's also gonna happen. A kid

643
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 2: that a few years ago would have gone to Florida

644
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 2: is now gonna end up in a school like Western. Yeah,

645
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 2: and they'll play a year or two and be good

646
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 2: and leave. But now you're gonna see some of these

647
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 2: small schools get kids for the refreshmen that they would

648
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 2: have never gotten before. Because the big schools are gonna

649
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 2: be getting the older guys. It's gonna be like almost

650
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 2: like a minor league system.

651
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 3: It's a revolving door at times, but also creates parody,

652
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 3: I think, And I think.

653
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 2: I think it creates a ton more parody because just

654
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 2: take the women's team with Kentucky. If this were five

655
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 2: years ago, Kenny Brooks, it would take him four years

656
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 2: to rebuild this team. He can rebuild it overnight. He

657
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 2: can get his kid that was in All American, her

658
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 2: name is Georgia Amore or whatever. He can get her

659
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 2: to come and we might be good next year. Right.

660
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 2: That wouldn't have happened before. Who's next? Dale? Is up next? Dale?

661
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 2: Go ahead? Dale?

662
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 7: Hey, mat I saw where Brownie James and the transfer portal.

663
00:30:58,200 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 5: I just want to get your thoughts, so hang them.

664
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 2: With would you want Bronnie? So Bronnie is an interesting

665
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 2: question because all right, we don't even know how good

666
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 2: he is because you know, unfortunately had his health issue,

667
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,239
Speaker 2: so we don't even know how good he is. So

668
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 2: let's just say lebron calls up Cow and says, I

669
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 2: want Bronnie on the team next year. If your Cow,

670
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 2: do you say yes? Or do you say no?

671
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 4: I'm surely considering it. I mean, I gotta look at

672
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 4: what I have. I'm not just gonna keep piling it

673
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 4: up because think part of the problem is, you know,

674
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 4: but what do you do? I would take Brownie James

675
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 4: if I needed.

676
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 2: A guard, So you would take Bronnie. Would you take

677
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 2: Bronnie in the portal?

678
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 3: I would not. I think it's too much of a circus.

679
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say no, but not because of the circus.

680
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 2: I just like I like the circus. The circus is

681
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 2: Kentucky Basketball. I'm taking him cause I wouldn't take him

682
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 2: because we already got too many guys like that. I mean,

683
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 2: to be honest with you, he's basically a seventh freshman

684
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,719
Speaker 2: because he only played at what half the season and

685
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 2: he and he didn't. I mean, he was the eight

686
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 2: seventh eighth man on a bad team. So to me,

687
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 2: if I'm getting dudes out of the portal Drew, I

688
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 2: think they're better bets than Bronni.

689
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm also going into this, and I don't thank

690
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 4: Kentucky would do this. I have six freshmen and I

691
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 4: look at him and I say, I love you, excited

692
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 4: to have you. I'm bringing in a lot of people,

693
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 4: and I'm sorry, the best will play is how I.

694
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 2: Would approach You think caw would do that.

695
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 4: I don't think that's gonna happen, but I would be

696
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 4: done with people having expectations coming into.

697
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm worried about that because he's got six dudes,

698
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,959
Speaker 2: five of whom I'm sure believe they're getting a ton

699
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 2: of minutes. I don't know what Travis Perry believes. Maybe

700
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 2: he believes that too. He can't play all those guys.

701
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 2: If he plays all those guys, we're not gonna be good.

702
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 2: You know.

703
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 3: I asked Tom Crean this morning if he thought the

704
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 3: one and done Erow was over and what he say?

705
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 3: He said, no, but obviously it's about like supplementing those

706
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 3: young guys with the veterans.

707
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 2: But you can supplement three more than you can supplement.

708
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 3: I think that was his point as well, is that

709
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 3: you know you cannot be an entire roster of freshman

710
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 3: as you've seen what was the stat three freshmen starting

711
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 3: in the sweet sixteen in the NCAA tournament or something

712
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 3: like that. So the game has changed. I think it's

713
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 3: absolutely evolved. And when I talk about change and wanting

714
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 3: to see that from that staff, is col gonna change

715
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 3: in that way?

716
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 2: And I kind of think it's too late to do

717
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 2: for next year because those guys are already coming. He's

718
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 2: not gonna look at Billy Rutchman and say don't come.

719
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 4: He's not, no, I mean, those are his boys. That's

720
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 4: he said after we lost to Oakland. I'm not changing

721
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 4: my freshman thing. That's what gets me more than anything

722
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 4: about any of this is he said one sentence in

723
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 4: that after the Oakland game, someone said, what happened to

724
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 4: this team being built for March? I can't remember who asked.

725
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 2: It was a good question.

726
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 4: I think it was someone with their whole leader and

727
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 4: he's like, well, they're freshmen. You don't know how they'll

728
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 4: respond in March. And then I thought, well, if you don't,

729
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 4: they're gonna respond.

730
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 2: Did what are we doing that every March? That's gotta

731
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 2: be the mindset change. And if I'm Mitch Barnhart, this

732
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 2: is what I'm saying to Cal We need you to

733
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 2: now build these teams to win in March. You build

734
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 2: them the way you want to build them. But you

735
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 2: can't just say we're built for March. We actually have

736
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 2: to be built for March. And building for March is

737
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 2: not all these young dudes. It's not like it's changed.

738
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,760
Speaker 2: I think his first ten years here, pre transfer Portal,

739
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 2: pre nil you could win with freshmen. You know how.

740
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 2: I know because he.

741
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 3: Did and then told us that he did.

742
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 2: I don't know if you can do that. Now maybe

743
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 2: you can. But they better be really good. They better

744
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 2: be Anthony Davis. They cannot be they well, they can't

745
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 2: be a minus. They got to be a well.

746
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:46,919
Speaker 4: They obviously have to be better than last year's group,

747
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 4: because he said we lost because we didn't know how

748
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 4: freshmen responded.

749
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 2: Let me also say for people who think we can

750
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 2: win with freshmen. We had the Freshmen of the year

751
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 2: and probably the second place freshman of the year. Just

752
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 2: remember that we had the dude who reach up for

753
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 2: just one Freshman of the Year and Rob Dillingham probably

754
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 2: came in second. So we had the two top freshmen

755
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:12,240
Speaker 2: in the country last year and we lost Oakland. Club

Speaker 2: First thing happened like well, a couple of days ago.

789
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 2: There's this woman that's on all of a sudden on

790
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 2: every picture I see, and she's like a new spokeswoman

791
00:36:58,560 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 2: for something. Her name's Sabrina.

792
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I know. Sabrina See she's opening for Taylor Swift.

793
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 2: I knew none of that. Right, Everybody's like, can you

794
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 2: believe Sabrina Carpenter is the news spokeswoman for SKIMS, And

795
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 2: I was like, I just learned what SKIMS was.

796
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 4: Slow down, still writing notes.

797
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 2: Everybody, slow down. I don't know who Sabrina Carpenter is.

798
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 2: And then I look, she's got thirty two million followers

799
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 2: on Instagram. Thirty two million followers. I never heard of

800
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 2: this person. Apparently she's a singer, right, yes, opening for

801
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift. So that made me feel bad. Then Duke's

802
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 2: playing in n C State. N C State's winning right.

803
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 2: By the way, n C State Duke game one of

804
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 2: the highest ranked college basketball games in like twenty years.

805
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 2: Everybody who says the sports dying, fifteen million people watched

806
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 2: n C State Duke. That's more people than watched every

807
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 2: game in the NBA Finals, every game of the World Series,

808
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 2: the Masters, everything. So stop saying college basketball is dead.

809
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 2: It's not dead. But you know, Jared McCain or McLain

810
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 2: is on Jon Duke. He's like a TikTok, got right,

811
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 2: And I start seeing everybody tweeting out I'm two days

812
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 2: into college and I'm three buckets behind, and I'm like,

813
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 2: I have know what? Why is everybody saying this I

814
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 2: had I hadn't do you would you have known what

815
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:15,879
Speaker 2: that meant?

816
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 3: I don't even know the bud Do you know what

817
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 3: that means?

818
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 2: So apparently there was a song that went viral on

819
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 2: TikTok play the song.

820
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: Rick I'm two days into college and I'm three behind.

821
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 2: There's this guy that's named him Colin. He says he

822
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 2: wants to be mine, but it doesn't really sit with

823
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 2: me quite right because he doesn't really like the things

824
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 2: I like. And I keep an accident and myself out

825
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 2: of my dorm in.

826
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 3: The middle of the night.

827
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 2: Okay, I've never heard that. Did you ever heard that?

828
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 3: I have heard that yet?

829
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 2: Okay, So that like went viral. So then I guess

830
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 2: Jared McCain he did a video of him singing it,

831
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,240
Speaker 2: and then he sang it in front of the camera

832
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 2: and crazies before the North Carolina game. There's a video

833
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 2: of him he looked in front of the Cameron Crazies

834
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 2: game day and goes, you know, I'm two days into

835
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 2: college and I'm three lectures behind, and like they're all cheering, Billy.

836
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 2: I knew none of it. I never heard any of it.

837
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 2: And it felt like I was like everyone has just

838
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 2: drew left me behind. Just like she's behind on her lectures,

839
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,479
Speaker 2: I'm behind on everything that's happening in the world.

840
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:26,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jered McCain, big TikToker to, I mean, do your thing.

841
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 4: If you're at Kentucky, I would almost have to like delete.

842
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 2: It's a lot, a lot.

843
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 4: It's a lot, especially like doing it at Madness. You

844
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 4: know their song that we make fun of their.

845
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 2: Brother, it's not even like and he was and he

846
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 2: does it a little and like he's sitting there and

847
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 2: he's singing it like he's an opera singer. And I

848
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 2: just between him and Sabrina Carpenter, I just felt like,

849
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 2: you know what, we gotta go hire somebody else.

850
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 4: I can't do this. I can't do I don't know

851
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 4: any of this. I didn't know you were going to

852
00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 4: bring up Sabrina Carpenter today. Last night I saw she's

853
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 4: got skims or whatever. Yeah, I did the exact same

854
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 4: thing you did. So I don't know this person.

855
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 2: Let's see who she is.

856
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure I've seen at least a couple of

857
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 4: her movies, get her Instagram profile and she's on a

858
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 4: stage and I was like, oh, it looks like she

859
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 4: must sing and not do movies. And I'm like, I

860
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 4: just have to accept I don't know what's going on.

861
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:17,760
Speaker 4: I know who this person.

862
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,760
Speaker 2: Literally, she was the number one trend on Twitter, people

863
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 2: like I can't believe she's doing skims And I was

864
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 2: literally like, I don't know who that is. And I

865
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 2: was so proud of myself for a couple of weeks

866
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 2: ago knowing what skims was.

867
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,399
Speaker 4: And I had to unfollow TMZ on Twitter because it's

868
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 4: like roller Skate broke up with bumper Pool over something.

869
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 4: I'm like, I don't know any of these people or

870
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 4: anything you're talking about.

871
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 3: So him with skims, right, I mean he was this.

872
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 2: That's how I knew who what it was was, Rob

873
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 2: doing it? All right? Who's next? God, Joseph Up, Nick, Joseph,

874
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 2: go ahead, Joseph.

875
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 5: Hey, Matt, I appreciate you taking my call.

876
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 7: I keep seeing this trend on Twitter that this team

877
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 7: could have used Oscar. Shebay, yeah, but now, okay, So

878
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 7: that's what I was going to ask you. I I

879
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 7: heard some of the things that went on with those teams,

880
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 7: off the two Oscar teams. Now that everyone is gone

881
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 7: from those rosters, can we talk about.

882
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 2: Some of the locker roomers? Well, I don't. I mean,

883
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:19,959
Speaker 2: I just leave it at this. I don't. I don't

884
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 2: blame Oscar in particular. I just in the first Oscar

885
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 2: team I think was fine, the one that lost to

886
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:30,280
Speaker 2: Saint Peter's. I'd love to see a thirty for thirty

887
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 2: of what happened the day of the Saint Peter's game. Yes,

888
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 2: because there are some wild stories about what happened that

889
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 2: day leading up to the game, and I don't know

890
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 2: what's true and what's not. But I think in general

891
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:42,839
Speaker 2: that team got along. So I don't think. But but

892
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,760
Speaker 2: there's no doubt last year's team was a chemistry disaster.

893
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 2: Who you asking? Yeah, I mean, I think here's what's

894
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:57,240
Speaker 2: fair to say. I think Severe Wheeler had a group.

895
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:02,360
Speaker 2: Oscar was kind of his alone show by himself. Cal

896
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 2: was in a weird place that year. Cason Wallace was silent,

897
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 2: and so the best player wasn't really a leader because

898
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 2: he was just silent. The man didn't speak, he didn't speak.

899
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 2: So you had this thing where the best player doesn't

900
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:18,879
Speaker 2: speak or the best guard. Oscar is doing his own thing,

901
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:24,399
Speaker 2: Severees doing his own thing. Cal is losing it a lot,

902
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 2: yelling at him and like it just didn't work. It

903
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 2: just didn't work. Like they were all over the place

904
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 2: last year. So why, I think it just depends on

905
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,359
Speaker 2: who you ask, But I think it's pretty clear drew

906
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 2: it from a chemistry perspective that team was all over

907
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 2: the place.

908
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely, I think a lot of it went to guy.

909
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 4: Just some of the best players were playing when they

910
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 4: should have. It started there too, with some of those rosters.

911
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 2: It was just a lot. It was just a lot.

912
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 2: So that's the best I can probably do. We'll take

913
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 2: a break, come back. I renumber two. This is KSR
