Okay, good, all right. You know, we were trying to
troubleshoot this thing like an hour and a half before
the show, and we thought we had everything good. Of course,
in true ks R fashion, nothing's working here. So we
got you on the phone right now. But good to
have you on here. How have you been wu It's
been too long?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Yeah, thank you for having me on as always, I've
been great to staying busy and I and you know,
the older we get, the foster the time goes so
so you know, days turning two weeks, weeks turn into
a months, right, so it's been a while.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Definitely, we got to get you maybe to a louder
than life for a Bourbon and beyond that's coming up
next month. You and I have hung out. I tweeted
out a picture for the show threat today on Twitter.
If you and I from I think that was twenty nineteen.
Can you believe it's been seven years ago that we
hung out at Louder than Life Ast And it's been
(02:12):
too long. We look so young in that picture too.
Now now we're now we're getting some gray hairs.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
We still look young. Man. We just work, We just
work out so we won't die.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
That's right, that's right. So what's been going on with you? Man?
Like catch me up a little bit. What are you
doing now? What's what's going on in your world?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Oh? Yeah, I've been in the same petro chemical industry,
hanging out around a golf coast and all over the
country for last fifteen years. So that keeps me busy.
And you know, the little spare time is obviously with
a couple, a couple of my friends and the family members,
(02:51):
most likely in a driveway in front of my smoker.
You've been to my house before, so that's what it
is right now, is a crab leg season. So so
so we're gonna we're gonna do a couple of boils
and just enjoy each other's company. Very very very very
slow motion, uneventful and early bedtimes.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
There's nothing wrong with that that you know, those bedtimes
get earlier and earlier the older you get, too. So
let me ask you about this because I don't know
how much you've been following the off season with the
basketball team or do you do you keep up with
the teams still even though you haven't you know, you
haven't played in a while, but do you still keep
up with everybody?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Yeah? So I check out. I usually I usually don't
get much of an engaged or involved. The roster is
completed and it's time to hit it. About what next
couple of two and a half three weeks when the guys,
everybody's going to be back on campus and it's it's life,
it's go time. So so so so so I check
(03:56):
check out a couple couple guys, but I have not
seen them in practice yet, so so so he just
just rumors. I heard that Trent Noah put up some
some some serious muscle alone and a and a. I'm
pretty excited about Frank the Tank. You know that's gonna
(04:17):
be my nickname for him.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Frank book tall, two.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Hundred and seventy five pounds, fifty years senior. You know
that that's exciting to me.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Do you think you could take Frank back in your day?
Do you think you could back him down and score
on Frank cap Nain.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Oh yeah, if I could. If I could take Randolph
Morris and I'll hall Ford and them and it should
be a problem. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Well, let me ask you this, since we're talking about
your playing days. I don't know if you heard KSR
yesterday or if you ever get a chance to listen
to the show, but Mark Pope is doing this thing
he's calling media Madness where he is inviting members of
the media to come and play. I don't know if
it's going to be played at ropp Arena or Memorial.
(04:59):
I'm not sure sure where the game is going to
be played at. But he's going to have coming up
on September seventeenth, media Madness where all of the members
of the media are invited to come out and play
in a basketball game, and then after the game, the players,
the current players are going to interview the guys in
the media about their performance. But yesterday on the show
(05:20):
on KSR, Mark Pope called into the show and he
invited everyone on the KSR crew to come play in
this media game. But he did say that we're allowed
to bring ringers. So our minds started, you know, the
wills started turning, and we're like, well, who could we
bring in that's loosely related to KSR, that could actually
(05:43):
ball a little bit? And your name came up. So
what I want to ask you Wu? First of all,
before I ask you if you want to join the team,
do you still play ball at all? Like, when's the
last time you dribbled a basketball or went out and
shot some hoops?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
So I know, probably Maddy's lists with Brian Lemon and
I have to come clean. I probably did not touch
the boss pull in the last five years. So so
you know, you guys might have to call in and
check and see if de Marcus Cousence is available. It's
been out for a little bit too, you know, so
you guys definitely have You guys definitely have better options. Uh.
(06:19):
And I and and you know I did have media
paths before. Uh yeah, through KSORRY, so things it's unrelevant.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Yeah, No, you qualify. I mean you were part of
the media. You you were on this show for a
long time on a consistent basis, you were you did
TV with Matt, So you qualify. We just need some height.
You know, Matt's a pretty tall guy. He's probably what six'.
Four if you Ask, matt he'll probably tell you he's
six or five or sixty. Six in, reality he's probably
about six, four maybe maybe six. FIVE i don't. Know
(06:51):
but we need some. Height we, need you, know if
we're gonna do THIS ksr. Team we can't lose THE

Nil i'll started Going Rady's, uh stick's going a half
millions for a good. Shoot so let's divide, that divide
that into a one game out of the thirteen home,
games and the and that's that's gonna be the, price
and we're gonna have two To mario's charity of his Chosen.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Yeah, Yeah mario is going to be the one guy
on the team that can actually play a little bit
along with yourself if you end up doing. This you,
know speaking of nil, money you would have cleaned it.
UP i feel like if nil were still a thing
when you. PLAYED i know a lot of former basketball
players are, going, well where's my money? At you, Know
i've played for four years At. KENTUCKY i didn't get a.
(09:28):
Penny ALL i got was my scholarship. Paid you, KNOW
i think that if nil were still a thing or
were a thing back in your, DAY i think that
you would have cleaned it.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Up.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
WOO i mean you had had a lot of.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Endorsements oh should if if mod will be involved in the,
case our crew would be. Involved we wouldn't have to
do the shows. Anymore.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Probably, yeah did you see What Zekaia ziggler was. Doing
we talked about this last, week but Ze Kai, ziggler
who played At tennessee for four. Years he is going
back and trying to sue as through the N C
DOUBLE a for the money that he could have made
if he had played a fifth. Year And i'm, going,
okay if he's not gonna win that first of, all
(10:09):
but if he did win that, lawsuit that would open
up the door for guys like you who could, go,
well what about all the MONEY i would have made
HIM i have four years playing For, kentucky because you
would have made millions of.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Dollars they'll be extremely interested to just drop. Down it's
almost be like writing a, book. Right, Yeah so, now
BUT i SEE i see the guy's, point AND i
see a lot of players out there who could who
could potentially set themselves out for for. Life you, Know
like the only one thing in the past that THAT
(10:43):
i would ask universities to, do especially, football, basketball and
any any other major, sports is provide healthcare to their,
athletes because you, know a lot of those injuries there
were they were acquired through being a member of the
of the university, team work through playing at the. University
(11:05):
AND i THINK i, will if, Anything i'm not stuck
on a nil as much but the healthcare, PIECE i
think there's a lot of athletes out there who could
use it. Today so you, know, yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Then that goes into making them, employees WHICH i think
there's something they're trying to avoid, doing you, know making
the students employees of the. University so they kind of
gets into. That BUT i hear what you're. Saying Did,
okay so you said you haven't seen the team really,
play but did you see that they were doing? It
like an open practice last week Where Mark pope opened
(11:40):
up the doors and he, said all, right this is
kind of a last minute thing, here but we're going
to open up the. Doors we're going to do a
five on five. Scrimmage that's really. COOL i don't think
that any other coach THAT i know of At kentucky
has ever done something quite like. That did you guys
ever do like an unannounced open practice for fake end
when you know when you were playing there FOR.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
TB i think we went to AND i would like
to bring it, back but but with Coach briggs out
there In Georgetown, college we went and a scrimmage with those,
guys and it wasn't it wasn't, announced it wasn't. Advertised
but there was there was quite a few people in
the stance THAT i think the people that needed to
(12:22):
know about it knew knew about. It AND a AND
a we we We we also scream scrimmage with another local,
team uh to just right up the road and and
you know we we went at. It AND i but
But i'll tell you WHAT i think it. Was Coach
happy back Then today Is Chris so that team is
(12:45):
extremely tough and, talented AND i think he would show
a showcase a good. Ability uh where our team is
today against local AND i agree it should be gained
four locals and he should be let's Say Immemorial colisseum
and where hey there's no. Tickets if you can make,
(13:06):
it you can make.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
It, yeah, yeah, yeah you, KNOW i thought that was
really cool What Mark pope did last week and just
sort of invited and we ended up HAVING i think
they set around two or maybe three hundred fans just
randomly shows. Up that's how great our fan base. Is,
yeah you can, go you, know an hour before, practice
get on social media and say, hey we're gonna open
up the. Doors if you can make it out, here
come on. In and we ended up having LIKE i
(13:28):
said a couple of two or three hundred people out.
There of, course that didn't really exist when you played For,
tubby we didn't really Have we had The, internet but
we didn't really have social media like it is today
where you could just go live On instagram and say
come on. In SO i just LOVE i love doing
this the. Fans, yeah, yeah, yeah he.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Does and of COURSE i saw you guys out there
huffing and, popping tried to make the, escalater so, well yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
That was that was the other GUYS i. See i'm
in lovel SO i didn't get the chance to, go
BUT i was the only one that didn't get the
chance to. Go BUT i did get to talk To
jack Goose given who called, in and he said that
this team reminds him a lot Of Mark pope's first year.
Here you, know he's talking about last year's team maybe
didn't really give off the vibe that they really enjoyed,
(14:16):
practice but he said that this year's, team you, know
he's had a chance to see these guys in practice
as much as anybody in the, media and the stuff
that he was saying was getting me excited about this.
Team and there's still one more roster spot that's. OPENED
i don't know If Mark pope wind up filling, that
but there's still a few other guys out there there
coming back for that fifth, year assuming that that's still
(14:36):
going to be allowed to come back a fifth year
for the guys who just. Graduated so, regardless, THOUGH i
think this team seems to be pretty well put. TOGETHER
i think the one thing That Mark pope is is
a little bit worried about is the. Physicality but like you,
said you Put frank the tank down. There that might
be that the great equalizer for the.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Team, yes, yes, YES i. Definitely you know there there's
a lot of people talking about how well can we
shoot and how fast we are and a to all
basketball heads ask different. Questions can we box, out, rebound block,
shots go after every single loose, ball and play defense number.
(15:18):
One if we can't play defense and hoping outscore teams
in THE sec down the, stretch it's not gonna. Happen
me and you and all of your listeners already know.
That so so you they're gonna bring. IT i remember
all those days in the in the ice tubs after
THE sec, games and it was you're not you're not
(15:41):
gonna get anything from a referee and, ay and it's
gonna be tough down the. Stretch so so SO i get.
It we are, fast we can Should my question is
how tough are? We and can we rebound and and play?
Defense that's, honestly That's that's several things That i'm concerned.
About AND i haven't seen the, team SO i don't
(16:03):
want to say yeah or, Nay but a lot of
times you can tell by oh, man we're GONNA i
haven't even seen out OF sec, teams but you can
tell because you, know everybody's coming After kentucky with everything
they have because they simply have nothing to. Lose is
gonna be on national, television sold out, arenas in front
OF nba, scouts and tremendous amount of nil. Opportunities, hey
(16:27):
a couple of years, ago even though what a boy
got an nil deal because.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
We like that's, Right, YEAH i, mean it's it's a
completely different, game completely different situation from you, know just
even seven or eight years. Ago, hey we got to
take a. Break wu's joining me. Here he's gonna be
here with me for the whole. Show if you want

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Now can you hear?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Me?
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Ever we, go, okay maybe we got it figured? Out all,
right good, deal all. Right so we were talking a
lot about this year's. TEAM i want to talk about
your old ball, Coach Tubby. Smith he has been named
into The National Collegiate Basketball hall Of, fame deservedly so
for the class of twenty twenty. SIX i know you're
you're happy for Coach. Smith and talk to me a
(17:41):
little bit about how it was playing For Tubby smith
in his sort of his style of.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Coaching i'll tell, you, guys what you. Know Coach smith
is probably one of the greatest persons that there is out.
There he not only prepared you for the challenges that
come on the court throughout the how workouts and, practices
but he also prepared you for. Life So i'm super
(18:07):
excited for. Him and and with a lot of people
got to Know Coach smith outside of the basketball court the,
nice self spoken and genuine person AND i kind of
got to know a guy who is like hell on.
Wheels so so so the practice were, tough and a
(18:27):
and a and. A it. Was it was. Rough you
know that during the preseason conditioning when the coaches were
still not involved with with the, TEAM i think my
my eyelashes heard that's how that's how hard we were.
Working so so it was it went super. Quick but
that was probably one of the most challenging time of my.
(18:50):
Life and and even today when WHEN i go back
to The university Of kentucky and watched watch those guys
sweated out and you know they, everything your whole body
goes into. Overdrive and you, KNOW i say to, MYSELF
i don't have it that. Bad you, know it's it's
not that. BAD i, MEAN i Remember Memorial colosseum before
(19:12):
they installed and renovation with the old basketball, court that
my knee still hurt from, it you, know and and
and you're out there running and you and you're basically
blocking out so your body had to fight to to
just stay. Conscious so it was it was a you,
know we were definitely the team who was the best
(19:34):
condition in a in a. Country and as you as
everybody saw in front of THE, TVs we we didn't
slow down to the to the final. Whistle but that
took tremendous amount of practices in the weight. ROOM i,
MEAN i remember my our days started around five point
fifteen in morning and often didn't end to eleven. Pms
(19:58):
so it was, yes, yeah, yes. Yes and, they of
Course Coach smith on the academic front did not play
it around. Neither if you're late to your class by a,
minute you have an automatic five am, Workout oh my. Gosh.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Wow and you Know tubby had, well just from like
a fan, standpoint you, Know tubby in practice and. Everything
we didn't get to see That. Tubby Rick patino was
a guy that, was you, know kind of a. Screamer
he would scream. It you'd see him on camera screaming at. Guys,
TUBBY i wouldn't you, KNOW i was watching games see
him scream a whole, lot But tubby had The tubby.
Stare he would look at you, like you, know the disappointed,
(20:37):
dad and like steer a hole through, you and SOMETIMES
i thank. YOU i think The tubby stare sometimes was
more intimidating than maybe getting yelled at by another.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
COACH i. THINK i think that one of the most
famous Coaches smith line was what was the question to the,
team and and initiated also by Coach hobbs asking Coach
smith is like are we not in? Shape and the
Coach smith will pick up ON i guess we not in?
(21:06):
Shape get on the line and you, know and it
will be the shot, clog you, know and they AND
i remember running between those cord lines and if you
didn't make, it you have to do it. Again so so, like,
yeah the Coach, smith you, know he he would just
say things to you that like what is this crazy
(21:27):
guy talking?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
About we got one person that's asking if if you
have a good Funny Tubby smith. Story we don't have
time for it right now because we're up against the,
break but if you got, one think about it during the,
break AND i want to hear. It if you got
like a Good tubby, story Which i'm sure you've probably
got more than one from from playing For. Tubby SO
(21:50):
i guess there's no chance that we could ever get
you on THE TB t. Team huh you say. That
you just you don't play much anymore and maybe your
knees aren't holding up like they used.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
To, yeah forty three years, old that ship have. SAILED

it but, YOU know i hang up, the PHONE so i, was,
Like man i'm. Already SCREWED so i just decided to finish. My,
beer yeah, oh no.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Ring again he called.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
You, back yeah he called, me back and he, asked
me are you still?
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Sitting there, Oh, no wow he had eyes on. You
either he must have had somebody there that he knew
personally that was giving him a report that his h
his center is sitting up here at the bar drinking
down a couple. Of pints you, know what you're right at,
that point once he's already called, you out you might
as well finish. Your, beer like, you know you paid,
(25:53):
For that we might as well finish. It off so what?
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Was?
Speaker 1 (25:57):
WHAT wash i guess practice was probably hell for the
next couple, of weeks having to be there that early
in the morning. And run.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Oh yeah we started with the fan bike and you
have to keep that thing at. SEVENTY RPMs i remember
like it. Was yesterday and then and then of course
they will put you on, a, StairMaster, right yeah then
you did it, the StairMaster and then you have to
do sprints On a we started having those free, spin treadmills,
(26:29):
you know so as fast as you run and the
fastest it would spin and they and then of course
you know you have, to uh, you know the as we,
mentioned before the death stare Of coaches smith in the
eye just, not saying just just like he just he
just looks at you and you can tell. He's.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Mad, here yeah, you know we've had some players who
have come over from other countries to play Here at
kentucky and and for you coming Over, from POLAND and
i want to ask you about that for a couple,
of minutes like what did you know about the State
of kentucky before you came here for? A visit did
you know anything about the State. Of kentucky i'm guessing
you probably knew and Heard of, Kentucky basketball but what
(27:14):
did you Know about America or kentucky at all when you?
Came over absolutely.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
ABSOLUTELY nothing i Went To, Bridgton Academy, North bridgeton maine
for a. Whole year it was a postgraduate, high school
and and, you know it took me a little bit
too past my sat because of the. Language barrier AND
once i have, that done you know one of the
(27:42):
coaches recruiting was Was Was coach Smith, AND uh i
think it was. Heavy interesting uh in My Teammate alexander
Johnson AND alexander i think there was there was something
WITH a C. Double A so i was next. In line.
NEXT thing, i Know the University of kentucky offers me a.
(28:03):
Full scholarship and My teammate corki mcmull and At, The Rochester,
NEW york uh said, very, simply, hey, hey Well if
University of kentucky offers you, a scholarship that's where. You're
going this is the, best university uh in a in.
A COUNTRY and i, was, like okay, so. Yeah, yeah
(28:26):
now always always Thought coach smith was is kind, of cool,
you know like he has that thing, about him, you
know He. He uh, YOU know, I believe i, firmly,
believe uh in order to be a successful coach In
a division ONE n C double, a school you have
to be a you have to have, an, ego right
(28:49):
and the second part is you have to be a.
Borderline PSYCHOPATH so i Think old smith at.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Both you mentioned the language barrier when you came over
did you Already know english Or any english or did
you have to learn all of that when you came
over here.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
VERY little i picked up a little, translator dictionary, you
Know The yellow Book for dummies on the. Flight in
so that's that's how. We started you can you can
probably ask my roommate that question in prep school Coach with.
Lazur recipe he soul was my first coach here In The,
united states and THEY and i here introduced me to
(29:28):
my roommate and, he, said hey. This school He's. From
poland he speaks Very, little ENGLISH and i, say hi
and the, coach, said yeah, that's it that's all.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
You know but YOU speak, I mean i know it's
been a long time now we're talking over twenty years
since you Came, to america but, YOU know i remember
being at your, naturalization ceremony which was, really AWESOME and
i still, remember that like it was. Last week and,
you know you speak Really. GOOD english i mean you speak,
you know it was GOOD at engl Which Is ryan
(30:01):
lemon sometimes on. This SHOW so I applaud i applaud your,
you know hard work that you put in to learn,
a LANGUAGE because, i mean for anybody listening. Right now
imagine you went to just a random country to play
basketball and you don't know how to speak, their language
and you got to, learn it and you got to learn.
It FAST so i applaud your your hard work To.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Learn english, thank you thank you. Very much and, you
guys you guys play a huge part of this because
since since case are started back IN what o two,
or three and and you guys start putting the. Team
together over the Years With mitt jones at, the mosque,
you know there was SOMETIMES when i would slip slip
(30:43):
up and and, of course not being a lawyer that,
he is here's a list of things you can say
on the radio or it's going to cost. Us money
so so, you know you just have to be mindful
and and a and a definition uh. To SUCCESS and
i was not to use it. At all therefore you
don't have to worry about. Slipping UP so i think
(31:05):
you just kind of RADIO on tv makes you a
better person in. A way and of course now we
have out of, social media so it all just kind
of goes out. The.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Window, right yeah a couple of other non basketball but
still sports related headlines that we'll talk about here. Real
quick and then in the, LAST segment i got some
no sports at, all topics just goofy stuff that's in
the NEWS that i wanted to talk. About TOO but
i don't know if you. Saw this do you follow
football much a?
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Little, bit, yeah, So YEAH I'm.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
CBS sports i don't know if they were just looking
for a few extra clicks, or what but they posted
that they Believe That youngstown state will Potentially beat kentucky
in the first game of. The, season look we don't
want To Overlook youngstown state, at all but, you know
we're starting Off The willstein ero hopefully with. A win
you don't want to start off Losing To youngtown state
(31:58):
because we're already talking about Beating out alabama in the
second game of. The season, of course you don't want to,
overlook them but you know this this team, coming up
people are excited about. Who it's, you know you get a,
new coach you got a lot of, new personnel a
lot of new faces, out THERE and, i mean, you
know playing Basketball, for kentucky you don't overlook. Any opponent.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
That's a that's a, click bite, you know THAT'S that
cbs tried to boost up. The ratings they KNOW better, i,
Mean uh and ONE week cbs talks about, is, Like
hey kentucky has the best second best defense in, the
country and and next next week, is like and by,
the way they're Gonna, beat alabama but they're gonna lose their. First,
(32:43):
OPENING gay i ain't. Kidding me that doesn't even make
logic or sense.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Right right the other THING is. UK volleyball i feel
like you would be very good at volleyball with. Your
height did you ever play any volleyball? LIKE recreationally? I, Did,
YEAH okay.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
I did. I Did THE the.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Uk volleyball team is ranked preseason number Three in america
and they are essentially playing the entire top. Twenty five
they're playing the teams that are, ranked, second, fourth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh,
seventeenth nineteenth and twenty second In The. Coach's POLL and
i can't say Enough For craig skinner and what he
(33:20):
has done for Not only, kentucky volleyball but just being
like an ambassador for all of. COLLEGE volleyball, i mean he,
BRINGS awareness i think to the sport better than any
other Coach. In america you know you saw him last
year standing up on the table during the press conference
and that kind of, went viral and then he was
doing a media appearance where he HAD a t shirt
(33:43):
with the picture of him standing up on. The table
then he, was saying, you know he will do anything
that he can to. Promote volleyball they'ven even got a
game or a match that they're going to Play Against
penn State At, wrigley filled which is pretty amazing playing a.
VOLLEYBALL game i don't know how that's going to work,
out doors if especially being the windy City. In chicago
If it's i'm sure that's going to affect the game a.
Little bit but it's really cool to see that they're
(34:05):
being innovative in volleyball and playing this Game At.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Wrigley field i'll tell you what the amazing thing think.
About volleyball there is. No lag the game is so
fast and just just great. To WATCH and i mean
you have you have broke out there serving the ball
or spiking the ball at sixty plus miles an hour As.
ALL american, i mean that's. That's UNBELIEVABLE like i highly
(34:32):
encourage everybody to go check out. The game they will
families will not. Be disappointed those guys. Are great the
girls finished up number two in the country, last year
which is which. Is congratulations they couldn't have a better
better season, than this really And and i'm happy to.
(34:53):
See that, you know if if if we're, flopping basketball
then we're going to become a volleyball.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
School again, and yeah those, SECONDARY sports, i mean that's
one thing that, You Know, mitch barnhart, you know as
many times as we would criticize him on, certain things,
WAS great i think as an, athletic director focusing on those.
Secondary sports so this should be a fun season for
the volleyball team. Coming up we got hit a. Break

Time offer we've only got just a few more minutes
Here with wu who is joining us, this morning And
(36:25):
wu corey writes in and wanted me to ask you
if where you were having the pint? Of beer Was
that pazos On? Pint night.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
You? Know, it.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Yeah there, You go he's. GOT it i guess that's
where everybody hung Out. BACK then i saw somebody Post
on facebook this morning that they went to The Five
Finger death, punch CONCERT and i wanted to ask you
about this because the post said that they paid seven
hundred dollars for tickets for this concert and their review
was the back of somebody else's head because they were
(36:57):
standing up the. Entire concert do on the pre show fair?
Or foul do you think that it's fair or is
it foul to stand up the entire time at? A
concert i know for you it's a little bit different
because you're taller than ninety nine percent of the people at,
the concert if not one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
As, LONG yeah i mean. YOU go i don't know
how you can't sit through A Five Finger death.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Ponds, concert yeah but you know they're playing these amphitheaters where,
there's seats but because, they're seats people want to. Sit
Down but i'm, with, you like if you're at if
you're At A barry, manilow concert, then yeah you might
want to. Sit down but if you're at a rock
concert Like Five, finger death how do you sit down
like you're watching a movie when you're listening to this heavy?
(37:46):
Metal Band so i'm kind of, with, you like, you
know you probably if you're going to one of, those
concerts you. Should stand and the great, THING though, i,
say yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
GO ahead i say. It's fair it's fair to stand
UP because, i Said because i'm so One if i'm
in front, of you that that just it's it's not
good good news. For anyone but, Guess what i'll pay
my ticket like. Everybody else why why should BE should?
I be, you, know, like uh you, know whatever the
(38:14):
ward is.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Right right. You shouldn't you shouldn't have to sit down
just because you're taller than. Everybody else but the good
thing about hanging out with you at a Concert like
Louder than life is the fact that when you go to,
those festivals it's all standing, room only and people tend
to want to like crowd you and get, behind you
and they're like on your back literally the. Entire time
(38:38):
but when you're hanging out, with you wou nobody wants
to be, behind you so it's kind of like you
you part the seas like there's people nobody's behind you
because nobody can see. Around you, so yeah if you
Go to Louder, than life you're hanging out. With me,
all right we're gonna we're gonna.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Do, it, yes yes and And and i'm also the
anchor points so whatever you need to leave and return you.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
That's, true yeah that you, know what that's a great
point that, you MAKE because i can't tell you how
Many times i've been at a big festival and there's
fifty thousand people and, you go, ALL right i gotta
go grab, a BEER or i gotta go to the,
you know the men's room for, a minute and then
trying to come back and find out where your spot is.
Is tough but then with, you there, it's, like well
(39:19):
just look for the tallest guy in. The crowd you'll.
Find them so here's ANOTHER thing i want to ask.
You about you, know you YOU and i kind of
live In the. LOUISVILLE area i don't know if you
saw this story in. The news and we only got
a couple of, minutes here so we got to. Go
fast but do you ever SHOP At? Tj? MAX whoo
I Love.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
Tj mix that's that was shoes and clothing and. Everything,
ELSE yes.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
I do, All, RIGHT well i want you to be
careful if you go BACK To tj Max and louisville
again because there's a guy that police are looking for
because allegedly he went INTO The tj Max and louisville
with his zipper down and his junk was hanging out
and he was walking around on the store and that
the person, that worked one of the EMPLOYEES At tj,
max goes, excuse, me sir you got your, zip down and, he's, like,
(40:01):
Oh okay so he put everything back in and zipped.
It up but then a couple of minutes later he
was found with this pants zipper. Down again so police
are trying to find. This guy they have released. His
picture it's all over, the NEWS, on tv it's All.
Over facebook i'm just letting you know the next time

very careful that you don't run into somebody. Like THIS
(40:22):
and i don't know what's going On. WITH louisville, i
mean you got, this story then you got the story
from a couple of months ago with the Guy At
cherokee park that was walking around. Exposing Himself so louisville

so i just want you, to be, you know head
on a swivel if you GO To tj max, NEXT
time wu and.

know you said you really haven't had a whole lot
of chance to, See them but what do you think
is success FOR the uk? Basketball team get about thirty.
Seconds here do you think that they have to go
to the? Final Four THE? Elite a what are you
putting at the expectation Level.
Speaker 2 (41:12):
At they look great, on paper so can they stay
healthy is. The question we have a backup, Point guard
we have two. Couple guys basketball is. Very simple you
have to have a point guard and you have to
have a. Big man other pieces usually. Falls Together but
i'll look forward them to make a run In. N

this team should achieve If coach pope wants to keep.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Definitely, we got to get you maybe to a louder
than life for a Bourbon and beyond that's coming up

out a picture for the show threat today on Twitter.
If you and I from I think that was twenty nineteen.
Can you believe it's been seven years ago that we
hung out at Louder than Life Ast And it's been
(02:12):
too long. We look so young in that picture too.
Now now we're now we're getting some gray hairs.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
We still look young. Man. We just work, We just
work out so we won't die.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
That's right, that's right. So what's been going on with you? Man?
Like catch me up a little bit. What are you
doing now? What's what's going on in your world?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Oh? Yeah, I've been in the same petro chemical industry,
hanging out around a golf coast and all over the
country for last fifteen years. So that keeps me busy.
And you know, the little spare time is obviously with
a couple, a couple of my friends and the family members,
(02:51):
most likely in a driveway in front of my smoker.
You've been to my house before, so that's what it
is right now, is a crab leg season. So so
so we're gonna we're gonna do a couple of boils
and just enjoy each other's company. Very very very very
slow motion, uneventful and early bedtimes.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
There's nothing wrong with that that you know, those bedtimes
get earlier and earlier the older you get, too. So
let me ask you about this because I don't know
how much you've been following the off season with the
basketball team or do you do you keep up with
the teams still even though you haven't you know, you
haven't played in a while, but do you still keep
up with everybody?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Yeah? So I check out. I usually I usually don't
get much of an engaged or involved. The roster is
completed and it's time to hit it. About what next
couple of two and a half three weeks when the guys,
everybody's going to be back on campus and it's it's life,
it's go time. So so so so so I check
(03:56):
check out a couple couple guys, but I have not
seen them in practice yet, so so so he just
just rumors. I heard that Trent Noah put up some
some some serious muscle alone and a and a. I'm
pretty excited about Frank the Tank. You know that's gonna
(04:17):
be my nickname for him.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Frank book tall, two.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Hundred and seventy five pounds, fifty years senior. You know
that that's exciting to me.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Do you think you could take Frank back in your day?
Do you think you could back him down and score
on Frank cap Nain.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Oh yeah, if I could. If I could take Randolph
Morris and I'll hall Ford and them and it should
be a problem. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Well, let me ask you this, since we're talking about
your playing days. I don't know if you heard KSR
yesterday or if you ever get a chance to listen
to the show, but Mark Pope is doing this thing
he's calling media Madness where he is inviting members of
the media to come and play. I don't know if
it's going to be played at ropp Arena or Memorial.
(04:59):
I'm not sure sure where the game is going to
be played at. But he's going to have coming up
on September seventeenth, media Madness where all of the members
of the media are invited to come out and play
in a basketball game, and then after the game, the players,
the current players are going to interview the guys in
the media about their performance. But yesterday on the show
(05:20):
on KSR, Mark Pope called into the show and he
invited everyone on the KSR crew to come play in
this media game. But he did say that we're allowed
to bring ringers. So our minds started, you know, the
wills started turning, and we're like, well, who could we
bring in that's loosely related to KSR, that could actually
(05:43):
ball a little bit? And your name came up. So
what I want to ask you Wu? First of all,
before I ask you if you want to join the team,
do you still play ball at all? Like, when's the
last time you dribbled a basketball or went out and
shot some hoops?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
So I know, probably Maddy's lists with Brian Lemon and
I have to come clean. I probably did not touch
the boss pull in the last five years. So so
you know, you guys might have to call in and
check and see if de Marcus Cousence is available. It's
been out for a little bit too, you know, so
you guys definitely have You guys definitely have better options. Uh.
(06:19):
And I and and you know I did have media
paths before. Uh yeah, through KSORRY, so things it's unrelevant.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Yeah, No, you qualify. I mean you were part of
the media. You you were on this show for a
long time on a consistent basis, you were you did
TV with Matt, So you qualify. We just need some height.
You know, Matt's a pretty tall guy. He's probably what six'.
Four if you Ask, matt he'll probably tell you he's
six or five or sixty. Six in, reality he's probably
about six, four maybe maybe six. FIVE i don't. Know
(06:51):
but we need some. Height we, need you, know if
we're gonna do THIS ksr. Team we can't lose THE
jmi out. There we need somebody that's maybe you, know

Night It's Iron, maiden It's Alice. Cooper i'm trying to
think of who else is all there that. Night PANTERA
i think is going to be there that.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Night so are you oh, wow it's gonna Be are.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
You telling me? Now hold, on, now you've already committed
to playing for the. Team are you telling me now
that you're going to be At louder than Lighte.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Fest let's see first If matt's wire is going to?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Clear so, okay, yeah we gotta we Got, yeah what
is your? Price how much do you want to play
On TEAM ksr hundred?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Bucks oh the? No, so so the first time since
Nil i'll started Going Rady's, uh stick's going a half
millions for a good. Shoot so let's divide, that divide
that into a one game out of the thirteen home,
games and the and that's that's gonna be the, price
and we're gonna have two To mario's charity of his Chosen.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Yeah, Yeah mario is going to be the one guy
on the team that can actually play a little bit
along with yourself if you end up doing. This you,
know speaking of nil, money you would have cleaned it.
UP i feel like if nil were still a thing
when you. PLAYED i know a lot of former basketball
players are, going, well where's my money? At you, Know
i've played for four years At. KENTUCKY i didn't get a.
(09:28):
Penny ALL i got was my scholarship. Paid you, KNOW
i think that if nil were still a thing or
were a thing back in your, DAY i think that
you would have cleaned it.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Up.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
WOO i mean you had had a lot of.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Endorsements oh should if if mod will be involved in the,
case our crew would be. Involved we wouldn't have to
do the shows. Anymore.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Probably, yeah did you see What Zekaia ziggler was. Doing
we talked about this last, week but Ze Kai, ziggler
who played At tennessee for four. Years he is going
back and trying to sue as through the N C
DOUBLE a for the money that he could have made
if he had played a fifth. Year And i'm, going,
okay if he's not gonna win that first of, all
(10:09):
but if he did win that, lawsuit that would open
up the door for guys like you who could, go,
well what about all the MONEY i would have made
HIM i have four years playing For, kentucky because you
would have made millions of.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Dollars they'll be extremely interested to just drop. Down it's
almost be like writing a, book. Right, Yeah so, now
BUT i SEE i see the guy's, point AND i
see a lot of players out there who could who
could potentially set themselves out for for. Life you, Know
like the only one thing in the past that THAT
(10:43):
i would ask universities to, do especially, football, basketball and
any any other major, sports is provide healthcare to their,
athletes because you, know a lot of those injuries there
were they were acquired through being a member of the
of the university, team work through playing at the. University
(11:05):
AND i THINK i, will if, Anything i'm not stuck
on a nil as much but the healthcare, PIECE i
think there's a lot of athletes out there who could
use it. Today so you, know, yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Then that goes into making them, employees WHICH i think
there's something they're trying to avoid, doing you, know making
the students employees of the. University so they kind of
gets into. That BUT i hear what you're. Saying Did,
okay so you said you haven't seen the team really,
play but did you see that they were doing? It
like an open practice last week Where Mark pope opened
(11:40):
up the doors and he, said all, right this is
kind of a last minute thing, here but we're going
to open up the. Doors we're going to do a
five on five. Scrimmage that's really. COOL i don't think
that any other coach THAT i know of At kentucky
has ever done something quite like. That did you guys
ever do like an unannounced open practice for fake end
when you know when you were playing there FOR.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
TB i think we went to AND i would like
to bring it, back but but with Coach briggs out
there In Georgetown, college we went and a scrimmage with those,
guys and it wasn't it wasn't, announced it wasn't. Advertised
but there was there was quite a few people in
the stance THAT i think the people that needed to
(12:22):
know about it knew knew about. It AND a AND
a we we We we also scream scrimmage with another local,
team uh to just right up the road and and
you know we we went at. It AND i but
But i'll tell you WHAT i think it. Was Coach
happy back Then today Is Chris so that team is
(12:45):
extremely tough and, talented AND i think he would show
a showcase a good. Ability uh where our team is
today against local AND i agree it should be gained
four locals and he should be let's Say Immemorial colisseum
and where hey there's no. Tickets if you can make,
(13:06):
it you can make.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
It, yeah, yeah, yeah you, KNOW i thought that was
really cool What Mark pope did last week and just
sort of invited and we ended up HAVING i think
they set around two or maybe three hundred fans just
randomly shows. Up that's how great our fan base. Is,
yeah you can, go you, know an hour before, practice
get on social media and say, hey we're gonna open
up the. Doors if you can make it out, here
come on. In and we ended up having LIKE i
(13:28):
said a couple of two or three hundred people out.
There of, course that didn't really exist when you played For,
tubby we didn't really Have we had The, internet but
we didn't really have social media like it is today
where you could just go live On instagram and say
come on. In SO i just LOVE i love doing
this the. Fans, yeah, yeah, yeah he.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Does and of COURSE i saw you guys out there
huffing and, popping tried to make the, escalater so, well yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
That was that was the other GUYS i. See i'm
in lovel SO i didn't get the chance to, go
BUT i was the only one that didn't get the
chance to. Go BUT i did get to talk To
jack Goose given who called, in and he said that
this team reminds him a lot Of Mark pope's first year.
Here you, know he's talking about last year's team maybe
didn't really give off the vibe that they really enjoyed,
(14:16):
practice but he said that this year's, team you, know
he's had a chance to see these guys in practice
as much as anybody in the, media and the stuff
that he was saying was getting me excited about this.
Team and there's still one more roster spot that's. OPENED
i don't know If Mark pope wind up filling, that
but there's still a few other guys out there there
coming back for that fifth, year assuming that that's still
(14:36):
going to be allowed to come back a fifth year
for the guys who just. Graduated so, regardless, THOUGH i
think this team seems to be pretty well put. TOGETHER
i think the one thing That Mark pope is is
a little bit worried about is the. Physicality but like you,
said you Put frank the tank down. There that might
be that the great equalizer for the.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Team, yes, yes, YES i. Definitely you know there there's
a lot of people talking about how well can we
shoot and how fast we are and a to all
basketball heads ask different. Questions can we box, out, rebound block,
shots go after every single loose, ball and play defense number.
(15:18):
One if we can't play defense and hoping outscore teams
in THE sec down the, stretch it's not gonna. Happen
me and you and all of your listeners already know.
That so so you they're gonna bring. IT i remember
all those days in the in the ice tubs after
THE sec, games and it was you're not you're not
(15:41):
gonna get anything from a referee and, ay and it's
gonna be tough down the. Stretch so so SO i get.
It we are, fast we can Should my question is
how tough are? We and can we rebound and and play?
Defense that's, honestly That's that's several things That i'm concerned.
About AND i haven't seen the, team SO i don't
(16:03):
want to say yeah or, Nay but a lot of
times you can tell by oh, man we're GONNA i
haven't even seen out OF sec, teams but you can
tell because you, know everybody's coming After kentucky with everything
they have because they simply have nothing to. Lose is
gonna be on national, television sold out, arenas in front
OF nba, scouts and tremendous amount of nil. Opportunities, hey
(16:27):
a couple of years, ago even though what a boy
got an nil deal because.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
We like that's, Right, YEAH i, mean it's it's a
completely different, game completely different situation from you, know just
even seven or eight years. Ago, hey we got to
take a. Break wu's joining me. Here he's gonna be
here with me for the whole. Show if you want
to get in on the. Line eight, five, nine twenty
two eighty. Seven if you maybe have a question For,
wu uh you can you can ask him and we're
(16:52):

he's on the phone with me right. Now we thought
we had it figured. Out we'll try again during the.
Break Not we'll just keep you on the. Phone we're
going to take a break and be all right. Back
it is THE ksr Pre. Show all, right welcome. Back
it is THE Ksr. Appreciow we've switched. OVER i think
maybe we've got the technology worked. Out wu can you
(17:15):
are you hearing?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Me?
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Now can you hear?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Me?
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Ever we, go, okay maybe we got it figured? Out all,
right good, deal all. Right so we were talking a
lot about this year's. TEAM i want to talk about
your old ball, Coach Tubby. Smith he has been named
into The National Collegiate Basketball hall Of, fame deservedly so
for the class of twenty twenty. SIX i know you're
you're happy for Coach. Smith and talk to me a
(17:41):
little bit about how it was playing For Tubby smith
in his sort of his style of.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Coaching i'll tell, you, guys what you. Know Coach smith
is probably one of the greatest persons that there is out.
There he not only prepared you for the challenges that
come on the court throughout the how workouts and, practices
but he also prepared you for. Life So i'm super
(18:07):
excited for. Him and and with a lot of people
got to Know Coach smith outside of the basketball court the,
nice self spoken and genuine person AND i kind of
got to know a guy who is like hell on.
Wheels so so so the practice were, tough and a
(18:27):
and a and. A it. Was it was. Rough you
know that during the preseason conditioning when the coaches were
still not involved with with the, TEAM i think my
my eyelashes heard that's how that's how hard we were.
Working so so it was it went super. Quick but
that was probably one of the most challenging time of my.
(18:50):
Life and and even today when WHEN i go back
to The university Of kentucky and watched watch those guys
sweated out and you know they, everything your whole body
goes into. Overdrive and you, KNOW i say to, MYSELF
i don't have it that. Bad you, know it's it's
not that. BAD i, MEAN i Remember Memorial colosseum before
(19:12):
they installed and renovation with the old basketball, court that
my knee still hurt from, it you, know and and
and you're out there running and you and you're basically
blocking out so your body had to fight to to
just stay. Conscious so it was it was a you,
know we were definitely the team who was the best
(19:34):
condition in a in a. Country and as you as
everybody saw in front of THE, TVs we we didn't
slow down to the to the final. Whistle but that
took tremendous amount of practices in the weight. ROOM i,
MEAN i remember my our days started around five point
fifteen in morning and often didn't end to eleven. Pms
(19:58):
so it was, yes, yeah, yes. Yes and, they of
Course Coach smith on the academic front did not play
it around. Neither if you're late to your class by a,
minute you have an automatic five am, Workout oh my. Gosh.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Wow and you Know tubby had, well just from like
a fan, standpoint you, Know tubby in practice and. Everything
we didn't get to see That. Tubby Rick patino was
a guy that, was you, know kind of a. Screamer
he would scream. It you'd see him on camera screaming at. Guys,
TUBBY i wouldn't you, KNOW i was watching games see
him scream a whole, lot But tubby had The tubby.
Stare he would look at you, like you, know the disappointed,
(20:37):
dad and like steer a hole through, you and SOMETIMES
i thank. YOU i think The tubby stare sometimes was
more intimidating than maybe getting yelled at by another.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
COACH i. THINK i think that one of the most
famous Coaches smith line was what was the question to the,
team and and initiated also by Coach hobbs asking Coach
smith is like are we not in? Shape and the
Coach smith will pick up ON i guess we not in?
(21:06):
Shape get on the line and you, know and it
will be the shot, clog you, know and they AND
i remember running between those cord lines and if you
didn't make, it you have to do it. Again so so, like,
yeah the Coach, smith you, know he he would just
say things to you that like what is this crazy
(21:27):
guy talking?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
About we got one person that's asking if if you
have a good Funny Tubby smith. Story we don't have
time for it right now because we're up against the,
break but if you got, one think about it during the,
break AND i want to hear. It if you got
like a Good tubby, story Which i'm sure you've probably
got more than one from from playing For. Tubby SO
(21:50):
i guess there's no chance that we could ever get
you on THE TB t. Team huh you say. That
you just you don't play much anymore and maybe your
knees aren't holding up like they used.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
To, yeah forty three years, old that ship have. SAILED

For that we might as well finish. It off so what?
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Was?
Speaker 1 (25:57):
WHAT wash i guess practice was probably hell for the
next couple, of weeks having to be there that early
in the morning. And run.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Oh yeah we started with the fan bike and you
have to keep that thing at. SEVENTY RPMs i remember
like it. Was yesterday and then and then of course
they will put you on, a, StairMaster, right yeah then
you did it, the StairMaster and then you have to
do sprints On a we started having those free, spin treadmills,
(26:29):
you know so as fast as you run and the
fastest it would spin and they and then of course
you know you have, to uh, you know the as we,
mentioned before the death stare Of coaches smith in the
eye just, not saying just just like he just he
just looks at you and you can tell. He's.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Mad, here yeah, you know we've had some players who
have come over from other countries to play Here at
kentucky and and for you coming Over, from POLAND and
i want to ask you about that for a couple,
of minutes like what did you know about the State
of kentucky before you came here for? A visit did
you know anything about the State. Of kentucky i'm guessing
you probably knew and Heard of, Kentucky basketball but what
(27:14):
did you Know about America or kentucky at all when you?
Came over absolutely.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
ABSOLUTELY nothing i Went To, Bridgton Academy, North bridgeton maine
for a. Whole year it was a postgraduate, high school
and and, you know it took me a little bit
too past my sat because of the. Language barrier AND
once i have, that done you know one of the
(27:42):
coaches recruiting was Was Was coach Smith, AND uh i
think it was. Heavy interesting uh in My Teammate alexander
Johnson AND alexander i think there was there was something
WITH a C. Double A so i was next. In line.
NEXT thing, i Know the University of kentucky offers me a.
(28:03):
Full scholarship and My teammate corki mcmull and At, The Rochester,
NEW york uh said, very, simply, hey, hey Well if
University of kentucky offers you, a scholarship that's where. You're
going this is the, best university uh in a in.
A COUNTRY and i, was, like okay, so. Yeah, yeah
(28:26):
now always always Thought coach smith was is kind, of cool,
you know like he has that thing, about him, you
know He. He uh, YOU know, I believe i, firmly,
believe uh in order to be a successful coach In
a division ONE n C double, a school you have
to be a you have to have, an, ego right
(28:49):
and the second part is you have to be a.
Borderline PSYCHOPATH so i Think old smith at.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Both you mentioned the language barrier when you came over
did you Already know english Or any english or did
you have to learn all of that when you came
over here.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
VERY little i picked up a little, translator dictionary, you
Know The yellow Book for dummies on the. Flight in
so that's that's how. We started you can you can
probably ask my roommate that question in prep school Coach with.
Lazur recipe he soul was my first coach here In The,
united states and THEY and i here introduced me to
(29:28):
my roommate and, he, said hey. This school He's. From
poland he speaks Very, little ENGLISH and i, say hi
and the, coach, said yeah, that's it that's all.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
You know but YOU speak, I mean i know it's
been a long time now we're talking over twenty years
since you Came, to america but, YOU know i remember
being at your, naturalization ceremony which was, really AWESOME and
i still, remember that like it was. Last week and,
you know you speak Really. GOOD english i mean you speak,
you know it was GOOD at engl Which Is ryan
(30:01):
lemon sometimes on. This SHOW so I applaud i applaud your,
you know hard work that you put in to learn,
a LANGUAGE because, i mean for anybody listening. Right now
imagine you went to just a random country to play
basketball and you don't know how to speak, their language
and you got to, learn it and you got to learn.
It FAST so i applaud your your hard work To.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Learn english, thank you thank you. Very much and, you
guys you guys play a huge part of this because
since since case are started back IN what o two,
or three and and you guys start putting the. Team
together over the Years With mitt jones at, the mosque,
you know there was SOMETIMES when i would slip slip
(30:43):
up and and, of course not being a lawyer that,
he is here's a list of things you can say
on the radio or it's going to cost. Us money
so so, you know you just have to be mindful
and and a and a definition uh. To SUCCESS and
i was not to use it. At all therefore you
don't have to worry about. Slipping UP so i think
(31:05):
you just kind of RADIO on tv makes you a
better person in. A way and of course now we
have out of, social media so it all just kind
of goes out. The.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Window, right yeah a couple of other non basketball but
still sports related headlines that we'll talk about here. Real
quick and then in the, LAST segment i got some
no sports at, all topics just goofy stuff that's in
the NEWS that i wanted to talk. About TOO but
i don't know if you. Saw this do you follow
football much a?
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Little, bit, yeah, So YEAH I'm.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
CBS sports i don't know if they were just looking
for a few extra clicks, or what but they posted
that they Believe That youngstown state will Potentially beat kentucky
in the first game of. The, season look we don't
want To Overlook youngstown state, at all but, you know
we're starting Off The willstein ero hopefully with. A win
you don't want to start off Losing To youngtown state
(31:58):
because we're already talking about Beating out alabama in the
second game of. The season, of course you don't want to,
overlook them but you know this this team, coming up
people are excited about. Who it's, you know you get a,
new coach you got a lot of, new personnel a
lot of new faces, out THERE and, i mean, you
know playing Basketball, for kentucky you don't overlook. Any opponent.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
That's a that's a, click bite, you know THAT'S that
cbs tried to boost up. The ratings they KNOW better, i,
Mean uh and ONE week cbs talks about, is, Like
hey kentucky has the best second best defense in, the
country and and next next week, is like and by,
the way they're Gonna, beat alabama but they're gonna lose their. First,
(32:43):
OPENING gay i ain't. Kidding me that doesn't even make
logic or sense.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Right right the other THING is. UK volleyball i feel
like you would be very good at volleyball with. Your
height did you ever play any volleyball? LIKE recreationally? I, Did,
YEAH okay.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
I did. I Did THE the.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Uk volleyball team is ranked preseason number Three in america
and they are essentially playing the entire top. Twenty five
they're playing the teams that are, ranked, second, fourth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh,
seventeenth nineteenth and twenty second In The. Coach's POLL and
i can't say Enough For craig skinner and what he
(33:20):
has done for Not only, kentucky volleyball but just being
like an ambassador for all of. COLLEGE volleyball, i mean he,
BRINGS awareness i think to the sport better than any
other Coach. In america you know you saw him last
year standing up on the table during the press conference
and that kind of, went viral and then he was
doing a media appearance where he HAD a t shirt
(33:43):
with the picture of him standing up on. The table
then he, was saying, you know he will do anything
that he can to. Promote volleyball they'ven even got a
game or a match that they're going to Play Against
penn State At, wrigley filled which is pretty amazing playing a.
VOLLEYBALL game i don't know how that's going to work,
out doors if especially being the windy City. In chicago
If it's i'm sure that's going to affect the game a.
Little bit but it's really cool to see that they're
(34:05):
being innovative in volleyball and playing this Game At.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Wrigley field i'll tell you what the amazing thing think.
About volleyball there is. No lag the game is so
fast and just just great. To WATCH and i mean
you have you have broke out there serving the ball
or spiking the ball at sixty plus miles an hour As.
ALL american, i mean that's. That's UNBELIEVABLE like i highly

Here with wu who is joining us, this morning And
(36:25):
wu corey writes in and wanted me to ask you
if where you were having the pint? Of beer Was
that pazos On? Pint night.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
You? Know, it.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Yeah there, You go he's. GOT it i guess that's
where everybody hung Out. BACK then i saw somebody Post
on facebook this morning that they went to The Five
Finger death, punch CONCERT and i wanted to ask you
about this because the post said that they paid seven
hundred dollars for tickets for this concert and their review
was the back of somebody else's head because they were
(36:57):
standing up the. Entire concert do on the pre show fair?
Or foul do you think that it's fair or is
it foul to stand up the entire time at? A
concert i know for you it's a little bit different
because you're taller than ninety nine percent of the people at,
the concert if not one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
As, LONG yeah i mean. YOU go i don't know
how you can't sit through A Five Finger death.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Ponds, concert yeah but you know they're playing these amphitheaters where,
there's seats but because, they're seats people want to. Sit
Down but i'm, with, you like if you're at if
you're At A barry, manilow concert, then yeah you might
want to. Sit down but if you're at a rock
concert Like Five, finger death how do you sit down
like you're watching a movie when you're listening to this heavy?
(37:46):
Metal Band so i'm kind of, with, you like, you
know you probably if you're going to one of, those
concerts you. Should stand and the great, THING though, i,
say yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
GO ahead i say. It's fair it's fair to stand
UP because, i Said because i'm so One if i'm
in front, of you that that just it's it's not
good good news. For anyone but, Guess what i'll pay
my ticket like. Everybody else why why should BE should?
I be, you, know, like uh you, know whatever the
(38:14):
ward is.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Right right. You shouldn't you shouldn't have to sit down
just because you're taller than. Everybody else but the good
thing about hanging out with you at a Concert like
Louder than life is the fact that when you go to,
those festivals it's all standing, room only and people tend
to want to like crowd you and get, behind you
and they're like on your back literally the. Entire time
(38:38):
but when you're hanging out, with you wou nobody wants
to be, behind you so it's kind of like you
you part the seas like there's people nobody's behind you
because nobody can see. Around you, so yeah if you
Go to Louder, than life you're hanging out. With me,
all right we're gonna we're gonna.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Do, it, yes yes and And and i'm also the
anchor points so whatever you need to leave and return you.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
That's, true yeah that you, know what that's a great
point that, you MAKE because i can't tell you how
Many times i've been at a big festival and there's
fifty thousand people and, you go, ALL right i gotta
go grab, a BEER or i gotta go to the,
you know the men's room for, a minute and then
trying to come back and find out where your spot is.
Is tough but then with, you there, it's, like well
(39:19):
just look for the tallest guy in. The crowd you'll.
Find them so here's ANOTHER thing i want to ask.
You about you, know you YOU and i kind of
live In the. LOUISVILLE area i don't know if you

careful if you go BACK To tj Max and louisville
