This is Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Now here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Welcome everyone. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. Thursday, December twelfth.
It is Virgin of Guadaloupe Day in Mexico, and we
are here in the United States to Tachaos Bar and
Grill on a sunny but chilly day. You give Shandon
Clarke's Puppy Shop paone line eight five nine two eight

This dicision sponsored by the TJ. Smith Office called djail
make Them Pay. I got Ryan and Drew Ryan. We
were supposed to have the South Laurel KSR Club, but
South Laurel went and canceled school for snow, so they
were not able to make the trip. So they're gonna
come next week. So I put on pants today. I
(01:21):
mean I always wear pants, but I put on jeans
to look fancy.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
And now it's just you.
Speaker 6 (01:27):
I was surprised. I got the call that they had
canceled school. But I looked like all of southeastern Kentucky canceled,
Like everybody canceled, but looked like Middlesborough.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
Well, see we're tough.
Speaker 7 (01:36):
Yeah, you guys are tough. Yeah, we city school.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
We aren't snowflakes, so we don't cancel for snowflakes. Eastern
Kentucky they cancel the snow, and you know everybody gets
Everybody's like, well why do you do it? If you
go up in the hills and the hollis, you'd see
why you'd do it, because you can't get the buses
up there. Although I don't know that South Laurel Drew
has a lot of hills and hollers, but maybe there's
(02:00):
part of it.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (02:02):
Yeah, we'll blame the Board of Education. We know our
club wanted to get here. I'll be honest, I was
very excited. I also wore pants got here a little earlier,
but I'm hoping on the makeup date we'll get to
do it again.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
I even talked about South Laurel with Chris doriing on
the SEC this morning. Everything was lined up. Chris was like, hey,
we were talking. I was like, listen, I got to
get focused for South Laurel. So but that's okay soon. Yeah, Well,
you can come out to Chaos Bar and Grill. We
open at eleven. You can come sit with us, have lunch,
(02:32):
give Mario a hug. He's here for free hugs all day.
And we're ready to celebrate Kentucky beat beat Colegate, which
I want to talk about. But first I want to
talk about something all right during the postgame show, you know,
so for people who don't know when we do this show,
I hear the commercials in my ear from Louisville. Yes, okay,
(02:54):
so we hear the Louisville feed. We don't hear the
state wide feed or the Lexington feed, so I don't
always get to hear what you the listener get to
here so if you're listening on wl a P dot com,
you're hearing different commercials than I hear in my ear.
So I've been starting to get messages in the last
week or so that they're like, Matt, when you do
(03:14):
the Red State Barbecue ad, there is someone in the
background that sounds like they're choking and that's clearing their throat,
and I, you know, I was just like, whatever.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
People say that stuff all the time. They're trying to
get at you.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Well, well, last night, Drew, I was on the Postgame
Show and I hear on the Postgame Show I hear
the Lexington commercials and I heard it and Ryan.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
It's me. Of course it's you. Who else would it be, Shannon?
I mean, of course it's him.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Like I haven't even heard it on who You're gonna say?
Speaker 4 (03:53):
That's what I want you to do. Go to the uh, Shannon,
go to the podcast of the Postgame Show last night.
It's either the start of segment two or three. I
think it's the start of segment two. We play it
on the air, and so go ahead and pull it
up because I want to play it on here as well.
In the middle of the of the commercial, you just
(04:13):
start clearing your throat of phlim. So I'm sitting here,
going at Red State Barbecue you can get tangy delicious barbecue,
and you hear.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
And it's you. It's certainly you, and A it's just
in the commercial.
Speaker 7 (04:31):
Yeah, but b why did you do that? Obviously I
didn't do it on purpose. I have no idea. I
don't even remember doing it.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Well. I heard it, and it is. It is.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
So right, And it's part of the inconsistency that Mario
has been talking about for people who don't know. When
I tape my commercials after it's over. Sometimes Ryan has
one after and he puts the headset on early and
then apparently just starts like vomiting while you're doing it.
Speaker 8 (05:02):
And I have a little story to go with it.
I didn't know you were going to bring this up,
but I didn't know it was Ryan. I only heard
about one minute of the postgame show last night. I
was writing it's hard to listen and type your own thoughts.
But I was sitting there in the dark, and I
had the postgame show on my little Alexa there and
I heard that, and I thought someone was in the room.
It startled me. I jumped and I was like, what
the heck was that noise? But then I had to
(05:22):
turn the show off. I didn't know you addressed it,
so I heard that on my own, not knowing this.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
It's loud. It's really loud. It's start of like in
the background.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Some would argue it sounds like the commercial itself is
a commercial for your flim and so now I mean
Red State. The good thing about Red State is they
kind of know that stuff, like that's part of the
charm of the show. But the bad part is, Ryan,
You've got to get this work done. You're flim, You're
you're snoring, like we need to get this fixed.
Speaker 7 (05:54):
Like I'm an old man. Stuff's happened when you become
an old.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
Man, you just start having snot everywhere.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
I think, so your body does crazy things when you
get older.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
Listen to the microphone. Yeah, let's try to keep those
things off the edge.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
I agree.
Speaker 8 (06:07):
A lot of older people on radio. I don't know
if they all do it into the microphone.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
That's true.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
I haven't heard everybody just doing that. Well, Shannon, when
he finds it, will let us know. But in some
ways that commercial was a little bit like the game
last night. It was, which was started amazing seventeen to nothing.
Looked like this was gonna be an absolute route. You
remember I bet Colgate to cover the thirty and I thought, well,
(06:33):
I'm gonna lose this, and then all of a sudden
started the second half. We're down by a point. We
let him come back, let him take the lead. Luckily
made four straight threes on four straight possessions with Jackson, Robinson,
Trenton Noah and then I believe o Way made the
last one and we're able to get a lead that
we held for the rest of the game. But it
was It was probably the most lack of daisical game
(06:55):
we've had this season.
Speaker 8 (06:56):
True, Oh certainly and ride because everyone was making their
toothpaste jokes and ready to win by one hundred minutes
into the game and the next thing you know, it's close. Well,
three point shooting was the story for me. Breo was
four for four in the first half, but the rest
of the team was oh for eleven and without Kobe
Brea been hot early. Who knows how it could have looked.
(07:18):
But then they have that run where they got their separation.
But Pope always wants them to shoot at least thirty threes,
and for four straight games they didn't. They finally did
this game. They got back over thirty percent. They had
shot like twenty seven to twenty six. Twenty shot thirty two.
Though it wasn't much, say, at least got back over
thirty on their attempts, and that number improved a little
because they were in quite the funk. Brea included for
(07:38):
the last four games, thankfully.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
You know, I thought that the biggest, two biggest plays
were the two Jackson Robinson threes. I mean, he was
he was two for eleven from three, but the two
that he hit were at big times. And then traydon
Owen with the big shot coming off the bench. That
little run kind of.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
Won us the game, it did, you know, they had
I think they even got a three point lead at
that point the second and a half, and when Jackson
knocked down those back to back threes, it did seem
to energize not just the team but the crowd.
Speaker 7 (08:05):
You heard him get.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Loud through crowd.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
We have to talk about the crowd for a met
all right, So I heard good things about the crowd. Pope, Pope,
you know, he was excited about it.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
He mentioned on his postgame show.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
But this was kind of interesting. So I'm sitting there,
you know, I have an hour between two shows. I
get a text message from a guy, a kid named Lawson.
Lawson has shadowed us before. Lawson can't lee. I used
to work with his his mother. His mother is a
lawyer in UH in Louisville. Good friend of mine. I
can't believe, you know, I have friends whose kids are
(08:39):
now in college. It makes me feel old. But Lawson
texted me and said he was home. He's home for Christmas,
and he said I went to the game and these
people in the lower arena kept yelling at me to
sit down during the run, and then we are first
caller to the postgame show had the same complaint. Turns
(09:00):
out he went with loss in the hall, but they
were complaining, and then all of a sudden, I kept
getting messages throughout the rest of the postgame show. Yeah,
people kept telling me to sit down too. Do we
need to have an intervention with the lower arena? Reup
fans that people can stand up during games? Are you
(09:23):
pro stand up?
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Anti stand up during basketball games?
Speaker 7 (09:27):
I'm pro stand up?
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
You know you're there to support your team and if
you feel it deeping your soul to stand up and
clap and yell. Then you should be able to stand
up and clap and yell. I have somebody yelling behind
you to sit your butt down.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
So do you think that people behind should should hush? Yes?
Speaker 8 (09:44):
Yes, I'm very pro stand up myself. Outside of an exception,
maybe someone's handicap, you know, try to work with them
as best you can. Yes, but you should be allowed
to stand up. And I've been the person behind someone
who stood up the whole time and it maybe it
was a little annoying, but I didn't have one zoo
a complaint because they're allowed to do that.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Channon pro stand.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Up, stand up.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
If you look at the best atmospheres in college basketball,
it's all people standing up, moving around.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Our crowd just sits there on their hands. It's kind
of boring.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
It's weird because on football we don't do that. In football,
I don't think our fans tell people to sit down.
But I we are rupp Aerna, especially lower level has
got you are not at a play, Okay, no one
(10:34):
owes you to sit down, and we've got to change
that culture. We rupperena. And you saw this during that
run last night can be a really great atmospheyes, but
we've got to stop this idea that you're there to
be entertained. You are an active part of this environment
and so for loss in And I believe the other
(10:54):
kid's name was Chuck let Lawson and Chuck buck right
like them do their thing and I and you've got
to stop yelling at people to sit down.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
I think I don't know what it is about people
that think that they have the right to dictate what
other people do at a ball game.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
I mean, I mean, it is annoying if you're sitting
there staring at somebody's butt, but.
Speaker 7 (11:17):
Stand You can stand up too, Yes you can.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
And like I agree with Drew, if somebody's like handy
caap some issue, then you do try to work with them.
I'm totally fine with that. But in general, up up
on your feet, jackets. Fans can't be beat. We used
to say that in Middlesborough.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
Why can't we say it here. I'm completely with you.
Speaker 8 (11:37):
You should be allowed to stand.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (11:38):
I'll add that last night I wasn't around any of
the city standing debates, but one of my biggest takeaways
was the crowd was pretty sleepy last night. Now, part
of that was you'd just blown a seventeen oh lead
and they were disappointed in conshoints weren't being made. It
was a lot was a reaction to uh.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
But then they went on that run.
Speaker 8 (11:54):
It did, but there was a lull there where you
could hear a pin dropping up, and that hadn't been
the case this season.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Yeah. Well, I mean we were playing good.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
It's hard to get it's hard to get the crowd
excited while playing bad.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Now, Shannon, you have the the ad, right, I have
what you played last night on the postcame.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Okay, So here we go. This is this is the
Red State ad with Ryan the Flim Doctor.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Come on, let's go.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
Anytime you're ready, Shannon.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
No, it's not me.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Anytime. The computers ready, I'm.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Kind of I'm kind of waiting on. You are now everywhere.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Let me give you the latest select Kroger locations across Kentucky,
southern Ohio, and southern Indiana. Same thing at Liquor Barn
in Lexington, Danvill and eat Town. They're a jungle gym.
Do you hear that out there?
Speaker 5 (12:40):
You go? You heard it? Heard it?
Speaker 7 (12:42):
Because it's you I don't remember it at all.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
I thought someone was in my closet when.
Speaker 7 (12:49):
It could be anybody.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
No, I don't think it's I don't think it's lost
it in Chuck. I think actually it's you. Why would
you spit up during my my Obviously I did not.
Would you like to apologize Red State Barbers?
Speaker 6 (13:07):
David Carroll to Red State Barbecue? My apologies on Mattle
can cut four more good spots.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
In this one. You you're gonna be the one that
owes them.
Speaker 7 (13:18):
I probably should go get some Red State Barbecue for
dinner tonight.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
I think that's the best way to I think that's
the best way to pay him bik So, all right, well,
the Cats win the game.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Anything that worries you about this game going forward?
Speaker 8 (13:31):
I didn't see anything new that concerns me. But they
need to get Lamant and Butler back in a hurry.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Sounds like he will play Saturday, but it depends on how.
Speaker 8 (13:40):
He does with Perry. Just couldn't guard anybody. I mean,
Brea still gets burned back quite a bit. They really
need his defense, but they need his everything back. But
I did nothing new popped up. Yeah, I kind of
agree with that. If I'm nine two eighth twenty two
eighty seven. Text machine is seven seven two seven four
five two five four. We'll talk more about the game.
Let the kids stand up and the adults.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
There's a picture of a one adult standing up during
the game as well down low.
Speaker 8 (14:03):
I interviewed him on my rapid reaction. We need thousands
more of him, the thousands more him less.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
I can't say. We'll be right back scas now and
think about direction one like this? Why you do? Yeah?
Do you know who it is?
Speaker 7 (14:22):
Rim?
Speaker 5 (14:22):
Rim? That's right?
Speaker 6 (14:24):
Stand yep, big big song back in my dep glory days,
the glory day.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Uh huh good h eight five nine twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Text machine seven seven two seven seven four five two
five four.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
What person rights? Matt?
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Why do you have to stand a cheer? Can't you
cheer and sit? You can, but it's not as exciting.
It's the same reason I make these guys stand at
the remotes. You can't help but command more energy when
you're standing. When you're sitting. Your bite's very nature, not
as energetic.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
That's just the way it goes.
Speaker 6 (14:55):
And you know you're you're there to watch a game.
When your team scores you just natural intertings. A lot
of timers just stand up and yeah, you know, give
him a little fist.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Put one person right's mad. It's good to hear you
finally change your tune on the rough crowd. You used
to be far more apologetic for them and didn't trumpet
the active participant theory. Now, what I've said before was
it's also up to the team to play well. It's
hard to get excited, Drew when you're playing poorly, as
you could see last night. But I do think Kentucky,
(15:25):
once Robinson made that first three that gave us the lead,
I do think the crowd was kind of a big
part of getting that to where it went from two
to eleven.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
I do think the crowd was part of that.
Speaker 8 (15:36):
Yeah, and uh, I'll add that Trentonoah making one of
those threes, got the feet.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
How about him?
Speaker 7 (15:41):
Played well, you know, he got some good minutes.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
They called a time out after he hit the three,
and Pope kept him out there on the floor. I mean,
he was defense, wasn't hurting you, you know. I think
he added a little spark last night.
Speaker 8 (15:52):
I liked Pope told the story that Noah got the
ball right in front of him as soon as he
checked in and Pope told him to throw it into Amari.
Noah could clearly her Pope, He's standing right in front
of him, and Noah took a three. Pope said, I
actually love that that he just brushed me off and
wanted to get a shot. Shows to day he's confidence
when he gets in and I also love that Pope's
cool with that. Like a lot of coaches might have
the ego of I told you to do this, do it.
(16:13):
He wants his players.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
That's one thing we always talk about the differences between
Pope and cal That's one thing that they're similar about.
They want their players to kind of have ownership of
their team and do what, you know, make decisions on
the fly.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
I'm glad he pulled the trigger to hit the shot because,
you know, Jack Gibbs said during the radio broadcast at
that time, he's been shooting really really well in practice.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Yeah, Gibvens, he called that in the pregate. He said,
I think Noah will play, and he's been shooting well,
shooting well, and he ended up getting there. How about
Tom Hart with his mentions said, you know who knew
Mario would end up on ESP and said that Colgate
needed to be more consistent to take it to the
next level. And then he also noted about sage. Yes,
(16:57):
he said that you can't put the sage in the wall.
Ryan all Tom back with the KSR references.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
It made me very happy.
Speaker 7 (17:06):
Somebody sit at this table may have been feeding him, right.
Speaker 8 (17:09):
Tom did all the work. He went to the stage,
well twice he did. He said they need to burn
some stage some sage. Then he went back to it
later and mentioned sage getting wet. I mean he gets
wet or something that feels like one of the more
KSR reference heavy broadcasts he's done. I don't know if
he was bored or people were standing up in front
of him, but he was going to the KSR.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Well a lot sage, the sage being well, that was that.
I do think that's a really Uh that was very
specific and I like that.
Speaker 7 (17:35):
He did consistency once in the first half, once in
the second half.
Speaker 8 (17:38):
Yeah, I think there were five or six throughout the night.
I don't know if he ever got to cowboy hats,
but I was.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
Rooting for it. Well. Uh, overall, be a nice win.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Now Louisville barely beat you tap last night, they struggled,
they were down in the second half. Some are you
and all Drew worried about the Louisville game on on Saturday.
Speaker 8 (17:57):
I haven't. The only game I've actually seen of Louisville
was when they came back against West Virginia and the Bahamas,
and they were healthier, Perrier played well. So I still
don't really know what they are. I'm very confident, maybe
too confident. I kind of just feel like they can't lose,
which is probably the wrong way to look at it.
But the I mean utup led a lot of that game.
I was watching the score while I was at RUP,
so that had to be a little concerning.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
I've watched them get blown out now twice. The Dude
game was interesting because they played really well.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
For a half and then played really poorly for a half.
Speaker 8 (18:28):
So you get they can't shoot, but they are tough
at Chucky, hepburn guards, He's good.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
He's good, and I think we do. That's why I
want to make sure LaMonte Butler plays. After the game,
Pope said they'd find out this morning if he was
gonna play. He also said that he thought Kerk Crisa
would be back in six weeks. He told a story
said that as Kerr was coming out of the haze
of his surgery and he was a little bit well.
(18:56):
I think Pope said he was still high from the medication,
that he facetimed Pope just to tell him how much
he loved him and the team, which he said Pope
said he almost went live on Instagram to show everyone
Kerr being high.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
I actually thought that was kind of funny. I bet
Kerr would have liked that.
Speaker 7 (19:13):
I thought that was a great story.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
I loved hearing that.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
But yeah, they they definitely need him and Lama back,
and you know, like you said, Lamont had a full
practice yesterday. They're gonna see how his body responds today.
But we definitely need him. I mean, it's not the
same team without him.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
It's just not It doesn't I know, we won in
the second half against Gonzaga without him.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
But long term, I think we have to have Yeah.
Speaker 8 (19:36):
Yeah, definitely. The defense, especially last night, was evident. When
you got Colgate guys taking off the dribble, that's when
it was evident he needed to get back out there.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
Yeah, who's up at first? David David? How are you?
David Good?
Speaker 9 (19:49):
I'm on my way to Murray, and I did not
foresee having to watch for mules and drunk people in
rush our traffic.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Yeah, I made news yesterday too. He's been ready the story.
Drew told that national news.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
But go ahead.
Speaker 9 (20:07):
One thing about the game. It's nice to see Oway
finally hit a big three, because it feels that he's
missed about five of them this year.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Yeah, it was nice to see Oway hit one.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
He I mean, not only has he missed him the
last few games, he's been way off, I mean, like
not even close. It was nice to see Bray and
getting a rhythm. But I thought the Oway one was
big because he was looking to me like he was
starting to like try to guide the ball.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
In the basket.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
And when you do that, Drew, it's really hard to
get your rhythm back because you're you're kind of not
doing what you normally do.
Speaker 8 (20:39):
No, he had another open corner three, the one that
he's been missing lately. Missed that one, but he got.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Two to go in.
Speaker 8 (20:45):
Otherwise, I think you had like five rebounds, five ausus
zero turnovers. He had a pretty good game overall.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
I appreciate the call. Can I say something real quick
about our team? Yeah, I think we overpass a little bit.
Speaker 7 (20:56):
I heard you say that last time the post came.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
I think we over I mean, I I am all
for sharing the ball, but I think we give up
too many open looks like Breya, he passed open a
couple like you're the best shooter on the team. I
don't I don't understand why gives up shots. I mean,
I get it, but at the same time, we need
him to shoot a little bit more.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
And then when we drive in for a layup.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
I'm all for occasionally tossing the lob to Amari and Garrison,
but we do that a lot Drew and it sometimes
leads to turnovers, like if you got a layup it
was again, Braya one time.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
Take the layup right.
Speaker 8 (21:34):
Yeah, they are very unselfish. We've even seen them have
an open layup and throw it out for a three.
It's worked a couple of times. When it doesn't, it
sure seems very silly. I like it when it's working,
but it has led to some bad turnovers. Mario Williams
tried to force a pass last night that never stood
a chance. But when he does thread that needle, it special.
So I guess a little give and take there there
is a little bit of a give and take.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
But I do think we over you know, I mean,
that's a nice problem to have, but I do think
we sometimes overpass.
Speaker 7 (22:01):
Last night was the first time.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
I think it was kind of obvious that, yeah, they
we passed up with some open looks to try to
force something in down low. Maybe maybe they were trying
to get a mari on track and Brandon on track.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Little well they did. I think a Mario scored the
first two baskets of the game, so that was good.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Tomorrow, remember we are at beer No's uh in New Albany. Right, Yes,
Charleston crossing, Charleston crossing.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Why did you just stare straight ahead?
Speaker 6 (22:25):
I thought Shannon was getting ready to say where we were,
but he was thinking he's just said one minute.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Yeah, Charleston crossing. I'll say it.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Two thousand and two, three thousand and two, Charleston crossing,
New Albany. It's our uk U of L preview show.

great chance to uh get ready for the Louisville game

Speaker 3 (23:15):
Here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
By the way, the story now has gone international as
the Daily Mail has picked up the story of the
baby just sitting on the steps at the Kentucky Gonzaga game.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
Uh do we ever hear who that baby was? Even yesterday?
Speaker 8 (23:33):
If we brought up on the show.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
I did some searching on Twitter.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
In the interview see the picture of the baby just
hanging out smoking a cigarette on the steps of the
Kentucky Gonzaga game, just lighting one up there.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
I thought you were gonna say the international was the
guy on the mule being chased.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
By Oh yeah, that one will too. But but just
just yeah, it's.
Speaker 7 (23:52):
Nobody's claimed it. I guess you don't want to claim that.
Speaker 8 (23:54):
I mean it's an infant. Infant, yeah, I mean it's
like a baby.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
It's it looks like it looks like Maggie Simpson just
sitting there on the on the thing. All right, So
we got some folks here from Henderson. Yes, this woman
hears from for sales. It's her birthday, birthday, Happy birthday.
This guy right here just brought us this is a
a coke bottle.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
This is r C.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
First of all, this is a Tubby Smith coke from
nineteen ninety eight six pack. But then this is an
R Sea bottle from nineteen seventy four that has the
Kentucky basketball logo on it. This R Sea bottle is
fifty years old. Wow, fifty years old. What would happen
(24:34):
if you drank this? What happens to coke after fifty years?
Speaker 7 (24:41):
I don't know if I want to find out, But.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
That was It's very cool. I've been a This is
a fifty year old coke bottle. And then the Tubby Smith.
Look how young Tubby looks.
Speaker 7 (24:50):
Tubby looks like a baby.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
He looks like a little young guy here fifty years ago.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
He brought me a copy of the Saint Louis Post
Dispatch from nineteen ninety eight when Mark McGuire at home run.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
That's cool.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
You should get that front. I'm going to get that.
That's actually very that's very nice of you to do.
By the way, that's very cool.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
Right.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Can I give you a little before we go to
the phones again, A little food to a food update. Okay,
first of all, right down the street from here yesterday,
did you all see the circus right down the street
here from ks Bar? Do you know Ryan what hull
All food is?
Speaker 5 (25:23):
Do not know what that is? Drew? And I really like.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
Hlal It's well, it's like it's hull All food.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
I don't know how to describe it. What what nation
does it come from? Do you know?
Speaker 4 (25:37):
I guess it's kind of it's not Indies. It well
whatever somebody will tell us. It's like a yeah, it's
like that's it. It's Arabic. It's like it's like Muslim
Arabic would be the way to say. But it's like
chicken and rice, chicken cooked a certain way and it
has like a white sauce on and don't forget the
(25:58):
way lamb let bit there, big on, big on lamb
and basically you get it in New York on the
street a lot. Okay, Drew introduced me years ago when
we were doing the us open Halal Guys, which is
a cart which back then was a cart in front
of Rockefeller Center.
Speaker 8 (26:15):
Six actually right where that shooting was, like exactly, yes,
almost exactly where that shooting was.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
He's right, and we used to go all the time,
Drew and I. Now they have restaurants. There's one in Nashville.
They're everywhere. Okay, So it's it's it's very much expanded.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
Well there's a hala.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
It's not Halal guys, but it's a different place. It's
called like I don't know, hulaw in your face or
something right over here. It's just right down the street.
And yesterday they gave away free food. Oh they said
on Wednesday, all the food is free. Wow, which I
don't know how restaurants do. That is someone that works,
like you live on the margin. I don't know how
they're giving them, but more power to them. I drove
(26:54):
by yesterday. You would have thought Taylor Swift was playing there.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
The line was.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
I mean, the line was like three blocks long of
people of people waiting to eat. You know, it goes
to show you give somebody something free, huh, and they
will do anything. The line was down the road. It
was from like noon to five.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
It was free. Wow, and I've never seen anything like it.
It had to have cost them a zillion dollars to
give away all that free food.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
They probably know they'll make it right back on me
and you eating lunch there for I will eat there.
I'm going to be a regular. I'd' even had the food.
That's the only part that garage. It's all right, there's
a few customer spots in there.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
Okay, gotcha. Well, I couldn't believe it. Second thing, skyline
for the UKU of L game. Have you seen what
they're doing between now? On Saturdays all that for the
UKU of L game. You can get a skyline with
blue noodles or red noodles, which is crazy to me, Right,
(27:59):
blue new toodles or red noodles.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
I feel like I have to go and get the
blue noodles. I agree. Would you eat a blue noodle?
Speaker 10 (28:07):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (28:07):
Yeah, I would eat it.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
Yeah, But I'm like you, I feel like I kind
of have to go and get blue noodles skyline.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
You don't think that's weird because I mean, noodles are
not naturally blue.
Speaker 7 (28:17):
No, but I'm sure they still taste like a noodle.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
You know, they just blue color, just a little color
in there.
Speaker 8 (28:23):
Why aren't you I'd go for it. Not the red ones,
certainly not but the blue ones.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
So you have until Saturday blue noodles, but you miss
the free food down the road from the Whole All
whatever the name of that place.
Speaker 6 (28:34):
Well that's crazy because you just told us yesterday Fish's
Big Boy the line there. Then you said there's a
line of yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
Who hate it.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
The same day Frish's closes out with the old in
with the here in Lexington.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
Who's up next? Bill? Bill? Go ahead? Bill?
Speaker 10 (28:49):
Yeah, Hi Matt, first time caller, who listener? Yes, I
got a quick comment about the crowdsed and of course
that's nothing. Those of us have been around for a
long time. Note that that hasn't changed. I was remember
of the pet band back in the Potino era, and
if you remember, they had the students on the side
(29:10):
behind the bench, and they also had the band right
at center court, and we constantly got told that if
we didn't sit down that they were going to move us.
And now you see the band and the students are
now in the inZone.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
Yeah, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
It's ridiculous to not allow the people to stand you know,
they basically moved the kids into the end zone, which
I think was a money grab that I didn't like,
but it is what it is.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
That'll probably never change. But uh, you know, it's what
I get.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
If people don't want to stand, but you can't yell
at the kids not to and even not kids, it's
adults let people because we got to get the energy
up in there. But it's been good this year, Drew.
This has probably been the best it's been in pre
since pre COVID when you're.
Speaker 8 (29:51):
Been unreal in they're That Georgia State game the day
after Thanksgiving felt like one of the best atmospheres I've
seen in rop which is crazy for a non conference
game like that, but so many people in for the holidays.
We're excited to go see the new era and when the.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
SEC basketball comes, I appreciate the call. We're gonna need
our crowd for every game. I saw a stat yesterday
if you look at the teams that were predicted twelfth
through sixteenth in the SEC, So the bottom five teams
in the SEC so far this year, Ryan, they are
forty two and full Well.
Speaker 7 (30:23):
Yeah, Missouri probably one of the LSU's.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
Missouri Oklahoma, Vandy, LSU, and I don't remember who the
other one was, but South Carolina.
Speaker 7 (30:35):
Uh they forty two and full and that's the bottom
tier of the SEC.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
Yeah, forty two and don't even look at it. I mean, no,
only one team in the SEC has three losses one.
Speaker 7 (30:45):
That's crazy.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
The entire conference. That's unbelievable.
Speaker 6 (30:49):
It is unbelievable. And you think of the bottom tier
guys like I think LSU is undefeated, Vandy's got one loss,
Missouri just beating number one can.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
And let me also tell all of you get your
sleep in during the holidays. January fourth, we have a
home game against Florida to start the SEC schedule, and
it's at eleven am because that's a day.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
I don't know why we're playing at eleven am?
Speaker 8 (31:10):
Is that Why are we playing in eleventh January fourth?
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Yeah, I don't know, but anyway, the game is at
eleven am. We gotta be ready for that one. It's
too early in the morning. I don't like that time slot,
but that's a game we gotta win because it's a
home you gotta hold serve at home. Yes, and that
will be a big one early in the morning.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
Yeah, They're very good. Really.
Speaker 8 (31:30):
With last night's game behind us, only Brown has left
on the schedule is one you can go in and
just say we know we're gonna win. That this is
flown by already and we're about to hit to that
Louisville and were at Ohio State and hitting that gauntlet.
Speaker 5 (31:41):
Yeah. Sec, Who's up next?
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Clifton?
Speaker 5 (31:45):
Go ahead, Clifton.
Speaker 11 (31:47):
Hey, Matt, I live in Indiana and I wanted to
call in and give you an exhibit A as to
why we should never play IU basketball again. I'm driving
around this morning in my car and the radio show
I'm listening to brings up that yesterday evidently was the
anniversary of the watch shot.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Oh, very ridiculous. Y're ridiculous with the Watford shots. Are
Indiana fans? They The way they act about the Watford
shot is why they are no longer an elite basketball program.
The fact that they still throw a holiday for a
regular season shot against a team that knocked them out
(32:29):
of the tournament that year is why they are no
longer one of them. I wouldn't even say they are
a top ten program anymore. And to me, that's exhibit A. Y.
Speaker 11 (32:39):
I don't I totally agree, and a reporter asked one
of the current players as he remembered the shot, and
he couldn't name the player that took the shot, and
they thought it was a travesty. But then also they
added that evidently Tom Crean and his wife were out
the dinner last night, like Crean.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
But Tom Crean and his wife have a celebratory dinner
every year on the anniversary of the Watford shot.
Speaker 8 (33:08):
Like, come on, man, like like Tom, I'm putting on
the watch Shot outfit tonight for I mean, she.
Speaker 5 (33:15):
Probably goes and dresses up nice for him.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Tom wears his special boxers and it's like it's the
Watford Shot night. I don't get that. I really don't.
I appreciate call. If you like, who are the top
ten programs in college basketball right now? You can because
of how much they wont Duke, Carolina, Kentucky and Kansas
are grandfathered.
Speaker 5 (33:37):
In because they're the four best. Who would you say
or the other five? Today?
Speaker 4 (33:43):
If you're saying what are the top programs when you
consider relevant history all that, who is zag They're they're
one up, so let's put them six.
Speaker 5 (33:53):
Who else? It's Michigan State still want they're they're holding
on barely.
Speaker 8 (33:57):
They got a few more years to do something, and
we're gonna have to have a conversation about the or
not in it anyone.
Speaker 7 (34:01):
I'd put Villanova ahead of them actually right now at.
Speaker 6 (34:03):
This point, even without Jay Wright. Yeah, I mean, whether
they've proven what's the I think I.
Speaker 4 (34:08):
Would take them out because I don't think Jay Wright
is the same. Would you put Arizona in there?
Speaker 8 (34:15):
If we're taking these out and doing what's relevant, Yes,
we're doing real or what's recent. I might even put
like a Houston in there. We're doing real recent, but
that's not a it's not a bad one a long time,
it's not a bad one. Would you put Tennessee in there, Auburn, Alabama?
They have all been better than Villanova and Michigan State, unless.
Speaker 7 (34:34):
Tennessee still not been to the final four?
Speaker 5 (34:37):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
I think it's hard. I mean, to me, definitively, the
top five are the four historical powers in Connecticut at
this point. I mean, you gotta put Duke Carolina, Kentucky,
and Kansas just because there's a panache with those programs.
And then I think you throw in Yukon because the wins. Yeah,
and then to me, that's the five. What's interesting is
(34:58):
I might go to twenty before i'd get Indiana.
Speaker 6 (35:02):
And when we started, we started this show thirteen fourteen
years ago, they were top five or six.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
Indiana to me is behind. If you're talking about people
will tune in to watch them. They're behind Kentucky with
cal at Arkansas. They're behind Arkansas. I think they're behind Tennessee,
Auburn and Alabama, right yeah, I just I don't think
that they they don't matter, which is why I don't understand.
I don't want to play them. I'd rather do Home
(35:30):
and Homes with the Yukons of the world. The Kansas
is the Houston. I mean, who cares. I know, you
old heads.
Speaker 5 (35:38):
Well, if they will get good, it's fun. But they're
not gonna get good. We've been here and they're gonna
get me good. But if they're not gonna get if.
Speaker 8 (35:45):
They figured out, it's a good right now? Ahead of them?
Speaker 5 (35:50):
Who is ahead of them? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (35:51):
Somebody one time said they were Vienna sausage.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
Vienna sausage really good fifty years ago, but now we
have extra dinner.
Speaker 5 (36:00):
Clayton Crum was founded on a simple idea.
Speaker 4 (36:02):
All leather goods, unlike Indiana basketball, should last a lifetime.
They make everything from bags, belts, wallets, and more. And
the best part, they're doing it right here in Kentucky.
You can check them out at Clayton Andkroom dot com
that's crum Me dot com, or go to their flagship
store in Louisville two sixteen South Shelby Street in New
lou Quality leather goods, built to last. If you want
(36:22):
to order for Christmas, do it now at Clayton and Kroum.
We'll take a break, be right back. It's KISR Mama,
welcome back. Take you sports radio. It's a good Tom
Petty song. Shannon was there Mary Jane's last dance.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
Yeah, there aren't many bad ones for Petty.
Speaker 5 (36:40):
Usually not Tom.
Speaker 4 (36:41):
Petty's got probably the greatest depth of non country songs
I like Shannon of anybody, I can't think of anybody that.
Speaker 5 (36:49):
Has a wider variety, like a wider number of songs
that I like.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
He's got a right to your wheelhouse too. I just
got that vibe too.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
Even though it's not country, it's it's it's not country,
but it's like wall the line of country but like
Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, you know, Tyler.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
There's like a handful of people that I could say
I like twenty songs of and Tom Petty's probably one
of them.
Speaker 7 (37:11):
I like this because he says Indiana Boys on the
Indiana Knights.
Speaker 5 (37:14):
That's what. That's a great reason to like it.
Speaker 4 (37:16):
Yeah, eight five, nine, two eighth, twenty two eighty seven,
real quick, couple of hires.
Speaker 5 (37:22):
Do they work? Belichick?
Speaker 7 (37:25):
It's I don't know if it'll work immediately, but I
think they can have some success with him.
Speaker 4 (37:30):
I'm going no, it's not gonna work, No, but it's
gonna be fun to watch. And they're bringing Mike Lombardi,
who is as GM as the Patriots, to be the.
Speaker 5 (37:38):
GM of the team.
Speaker 8 (37:39):
I'm one of the few people that was on the
side of I wouldn't even want to make Kentucky. He's
just too old. He undone college. What do you He's
not gonna win one in two or three years, and
so how long is he really gonna stay?
Speaker 4 (37:49):
What about rich Rodriguez going back to West Virginia. They
say you can't go home again? Can you go home?
Speaker 7 (37:55):
That shocked me. I mean he had great success there though,
he's still revered.
Speaker 4 (37:59):
But they hated him because they said he backstabbed him
and left and now he's coming back.
Speaker 5 (38:03):
That's crazy, isn't it.
Speaker 8 (38:04):
I went to a West Virginia game. They were top
three and he was the coach, and that city was
on fire. They were worshiping him at the time.
Speaker 4 (38:11):
Yeah, I mean they had a shot, they had a
shot to make the National Championship Game with him.
Speaker 5 (38:16):
They lost and didn't get to do it. But I
think they lost a pit maybe, but that's I think.
Speaker 4 (38:21):
I think they lost a pit, like thirteen to nine,
and next year they're playing on nine to thirteen they
play each other, which is kind of funny.
Speaker 5 (38:29):
But yeah, I mean, can you do that? Can you?
Can you go home again?
Speaker 6 (38:35):
He probably shouldn't because I don't know if they he
can re duplicate what he had at West Virginia the
first time.
Speaker 5 (38:40):
Both those hires kind of surprising to me, to be
honest with you, Who's up next?
Speaker 3 (38:44):
Let's go to Nate.
Speaker 5 (38:45):
Nate, go ahead, and Nate, Hey, what's up?
Speaker 1 (38:48):
Man?
Speaker 5 (38:49):
What's going on?
Speaker 12 (38:50):
I'm a guy that was standing in the lower raining
last night.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
Oh, you were the dude in the picture that was
standing and screaming and it was your first game, if
I'm correct, right, But no, I'd been.
Speaker 12 (39:01):
There before, but those seats are the best seats I'd
ever had. I'd actually had some upper Rena tickets gave
to me, and I was sitting there and I was like, man,
I want to be closer to the game. And I
got on ticket Masters started scrolling through and saw those
two seats were available. RI end up being I bit
the bullet bottom and got down there amongst the little
(39:21):
aren the crowd.
Speaker 5 (39:22):
So what was it like? Did they tell you to
sit down?
Speaker 12 (39:26):
No? Nobody said anything. I had a had an old
man a couple of rows in front of me that
was encouraging it. But I was just I didn't care
what anybody thought. I was there to have a good time.
And I can remember being a kid and going to
uh Monday Night raw back when stone Goes rock those guys.
I'm thinking, if the Kentucky Club would act like this,
that's right, it would be insane.
Speaker 4 (39:47):
We could we could open up a candle woo pass
if they would, if they'd be like Stone Cold, wouldn't
we Yeah?
Speaker 12 (39:54):
Oh hell yeah here we would. Yeah? And I just
we were struggling last night, I got up seventeen and
us and and you know, they started making shots. And
then once we started going on going on that little run,
it was like, you have to get good before, and
that's how I done last time. I was happy to
get Maybe I was part of the reason.
Speaker 5 (40:14):
Why we I think you are. I think you are
the reason we won. So well. I appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (40:18):
Glad you enjoyed the bougie seats for a night, and
hopefully we can get you down there for a big game.
Speaker 12 (40:25):
I love it.
Speaker 5 (40:26):
I love that, appreciate appreciate the call.
Speaker 4 (40:28):
By the way, see young guy right here, it's his
birthday today from Naples, Florida, fourteen years old. Do you
remember what you were like when you were fourteen years old?
I don't actually want to know what you were like
when you were fourteen years old. I have I think
I have a pretty good guess and I don't.
Speaker 5 (40:43):
Yeah. Probably very similar, that's exactly right.
Speaker 4 (40:47):
Bodily noises, same inability to say the right things.
Speaker 5 (40:51):
I you know what, just leave your leave it right there.
Speaker 7 (40:54):
Nineteen eighty I had a big, massive afro hair.
Speaker 5 (40:58):
That's something that's different. The ladies loved also something different.
Speaker 3 (41:01):
They pulled it all out.
Speaker 5 (41:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (41:03):
Yeah, all of the butterfly collars bose. Those are two
things that I have seen change just a little bit.
Speaker 5 (41:09):
Druh.
Speaker 8 (41:10):
Yeah, I'm glad Ryan didn't take the bait there and
tell us about what he was doing as a fourteen
year old. But do we need to break into the
chee cheese birthday song?
Speaker 5 (41:17):
Yeah, we ought it. We ought to sing before.
Speaker 4 (41:19):
By the way, the UK volleyball team is playing in
the Sweet sixteen at one o'clock. So the UK volleyball
team plays Missouri at one o'clock today in the Sweet sixteen.
That's the team they beat at the end of the
regular season to win the SEC, so they've played them before.
They play at one o'clock. If they win, they go
to the Elite eight and play the number one team
in the country. That game, we're gonna have it on here,
(41:41):
but for those of you that aren't here, I think
it's on ESPN two. Correct either way. So this it's
the first game of the Sweet sixteen. Kentucky is likely favored.
The game is in Pittsburgh and they play Missouri drew
with the chance to once again make the Elite eight.
It would be I think Craig's skin fifth Elite eight,
(42:01):
which is kind of an amazing thing for a guy
that to be at Kentucky.
Speaker 8 (42:05):
Yeah, I'll be watching him.
Speaker 5 (42:06):
Rude to Demne.
Speaker 8 (42:07):
The SEC was good to him in the regular season.
Gotta stay hot. When they won the championship a few
years ago, I remember like pulling over on the side
of the road and watching on my phone really getting
into that run.
Speaker 4 (42:16):
I'm hoping they can. That was a great atmosphere here
at the bar. You remember that, Yeah, when we won
the championship. So you know they if they can win today,
they have a setup for a team that if they
could beat them, they have a shot to win the
whole thing. So that is at one o'clock this afternoon,
we're gonna take a break. The football schedule for next
year came out. It's a beast.
Speaker 5 (42:35):
We'll talk about it right for this this Kentucky Sports

Speaker 4 (00:36):
Welcome everyone. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. Thursday, December twelfth.
It is Virgin of Guadaloupe Day in Mexico, and we
are here in the United States to Tachaos Bar and
Grill on a sunny but chilly day. You give Shandon

This dicision sponsored by the TJ. Smith Office called djail
make Them Pay. I got Ryan and Drew Ryan. We
were supposed to have the South Laurel KSR Club, but
South Laurel went and canceled school for snow, so they
were not able to make the trip. So they're gonna
come next week. So I put on pants today. I
(01:21):
mean I always wear pants, but I put on jeans
to look fancy.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
And now it's just you.
Speaker 6 (01:27):
I was surprised. I got the call that they had
canceled school. But I looked like all of southeastern Kentucky canceled,
Like everybody canceled, but looked like Middlesborough.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
Well, see we're tough.
Speaker 7 (01:36):
Yeah, you guys are tough. Yeah, we city school.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
We aren't snowflakes, so we don't cancel for snowflakes. Eastern
Kentucky they cancel the snow, and you know everybody gets
Everybody's like, well why do you do it? If you
go up in the hills and the hollis, you'd see
why you'd do it, because you can't get the buses
up there. Although I don't know that South Laurel Drew
has a lot of hills and hollers, but maybe there's
(02:00):
part of it.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (02:02):
Yeah, we'll blame the Board of Education. We know our
club wanted to get here. I'll be honest, I was
very excited. I also wore pants got here a little earlier,
but I'm hoping on the makeup date we'll get to
do it again.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
I even talked about South Laurel with Chris doriing on
the SEC this morning. Everything was lined up. Chris was like, hey,
we were talking. I was like, listen, I got to
get focused for South Laurel. So but that's okay soon. Yeah, Well,
you can come out to Chaos Bar and Grill. We
open at eleven. You can come sit with us, have lunch,
(02:32):
give Mario a hug. He's here for free hugs all day.
And we're ready to celebrate Kentucky beat beat Colegate, which
I want to talk about. But first I want to
talk about something all right during the postgame show, you know,
so for people who don't know when we do this show,
I hear the commercials in my ear from Louisville. Yes, okay,
(02:54):
so we hear the Louisville feed. We don't hear the
state wide feed or the Lexington feed, so I don't
always get to hear what you the listener get to
here so if you're listening on wl a P dot com,
you're hearing different commercials than I hear in my ear.
So I've been starting to get messages in the last
week or so that they're like, Matt, when you do
(03:14):
the Red State Barbecue ad, there is someone in the
background that sounds like they're choking and that's clearing their throat,
and I, you know, I was just like, whatever.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
People say that stuff all the time. They're trying to
get at you.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Well, well, last night, Drew, I was on the Postgame
Show and I hear on the Postgame Show I hear
the Lexington commercials and I heard it and Ryan.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
It's me. Of course it's you. Who else would it be, Shannon?
I mean, of course it's him.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Like I haven't even heard it on who You're gonna say?
Speaker 4 (03:53):
That's what I want you to do. Go to the uh, Shannon,
go to the podcast of the Postgame Show last night.
It's either the start of segment two or three. I
think it's the start of segment two. We play it
on the air, and so go ahead and pull it
up because I want to play it on here as well.
In the middle of the of the commercial, you just
(04:13):
start clearing your throat of phlim. So I'm sitting here,
going at Red State Barbecue you can get tangy delicious barbecue,
and you hear.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
And it's you. It's certainly you, and A it's just
in the commercial.
Speaker 7 (04:31):
Yeah, but b why did you do that? Obviously I
didn't do it on purpose. I have no idea. I
don't even remember doing it.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Well. I heard it, and it is. It is.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
So right, And it's part of the inconsistency that Mario
has been talking about for people who don't know. When
I tape my commercials after it's over. Sometimes Ryan has
one after and he puts the headset on early and
then apparently just starts like vomiting while you're doing it.
Speaker 8 (05:02):
And I have a little story to go with it.
I didn't know you were going to bring this up,
but I didn't know it was Ryan. I only heard
about one minute of the postgame show last night. I
was writing it's hard to listen and type your own thoughts.
But I was sitting there in the dark, and I
had the postgame show on my little Alexa there and
I heard that, and I thought someone was in the room.
It startled me. I jumped and I was like, what
the heck was that noise? But then I had to
(05:22):
turn the show off. I didn't know you addressed it,
so I heard that on my own, not knowing this.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
It's loud. It's really loud. It's start of like in
the background.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Some would argue it sounds like the commercial itself is
a commercial for your flim and so now I mean
Red State. The good thing about Red State is they
kind of know that stuff, like that's part of the
charm of the show. But the bad part is, Ryan,
You've got to get this work done. You're flim, You're
you're snoring, like we need to get this fixed.
Speaker 7 (05:54):
Like I'm an old man. Stuff's happened when you become
an old.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
Man, you just start having snot everywhere.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
I think, so your body does crazy things when you
get older.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
Listen to the microphone. Yeah, let's try to keep those
things off the edge.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
I agree.
Speaker 8 (06:07):
A lot of older people on radio. I don't know
if they all do it into the microphone.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
That's true.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
I haven't heard everybody just doing that. Well, Shannon, when
he finds it, will let us know. But in some
ways that commercial was a little bit like the game
last night. It was, which was started amazing seventeen to nothing.
Looked like this was gonna be an absolute route. You
remember I bet Colgate to cover the thirty and I thought, well,
(06:33):
I'm gonna lose this, and then all of a sudden
started the second half. We're down by a point. We
let him come back, let him take the lead. Luckily
made four straight threes on four straight possessions with Jackson, Robinson,
Trenton Noah and then I believe o Way made the
last one and we're able to get a lead that
we held for the rest of the game. But it
was It was probably the most lack of daisical game
(06:55):
we've had this season.
Speaker 8 (06:56):
True, Oh certainly and ride because everyone was making their
toothpaste jokes and ready to win by one hundred minutes
into the game and the next thing you know, it's close. Well,
three point shooting was the story for me. Breo was
four for four in the first half, but the rest
of the team was oh for eleven and without Kobe
Brea been hot early. Who knows how it could have looked.
(07:18):
But then they have that run where they got their separation.
But Pope always wants them to shoot at least thirty threes,
and for four straight games they didn't. They finally did
this game. They got back over thirty percent. They had
shot like twenty seven to twenty six. Twenty shot thirty two.
Though it wasn't much, say, at least got back over
thirty on their attempts, and that number improved a little
because they were in quite the funk. Brea included for
(07:38):
the last four games, thankfully.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
You know, I thought that the biggest, two biggest plays
were the two Jackson Robinson threes. I mean, he was
he was two for eleven from three, but the two
that he hit were at big times. And then traydon
Owen with the big shot coming off the bench. That
little run kind of.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
Won us the game, it did, you know, they had
I think they even got a three point lead at
that point the second and a half, and when Jackson
knocked down those back to back threes, it did seem
to energize not just the team but the crowd.
Speaker 7 (08:05):
You heard him get.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Loud through crowd.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
We have to talk about the crowd for a met
all right, So I heard good things about the crowd. Pope, Pope,
you know, he was excited about it.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
He mentioned on his postgame show.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
But this was kind of interesting. So I'm sitting there,
you know, I have an hour between two shows. I
get a text message from a guy, a kid named Lawson.
Lawson has shadowed us before. Lawson can't lee. I used
to work with his his mother. His mother is a
lawyer in UH in Louisville. Good friend of mine. I
can't believe, you know, I have friends whose kids are
(08:39):
now in college. It makes me feel old. But Lawson
texted me and said he was home. He's home for Christmas,
and he said I went to the game and these
people in the lower arena kept yelling at me to
sit down during the run, and then we are first
caller to the postgame show had the same complaint. Turns
(09:00):
out he went with loss in the hall, but they
were complaining, and then all of a sudden, I kept
getting messages throughout the rest of the postgame show. Yeah,
people kept telling me to sit down too. Do we
need to have an intervention with the lower arena? Reup
fans that people can stand up during games? Are you
(09:23):
pro stand up?
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Anti stand up during basketball games?
Speaker 7 (09:27):
I'm pro stand up?
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
You know you're there to support your team and if
you feel it deeping your soul to stand up and
clap and yell. Then you should be able to stand
up and clap and yell. I have somebody yelling behind
you to sit your butt down.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
So do you think that people behind should should hush? Yes?
Speaker 8 (09:44):
Yes, I'm very pro stand up myself. Outside of an exception,
maybe someone's handicap, you know, try to work with them
as best you can. Yes, but you should be allowed
to stand up. And I've been the person behind someone
who stood up the whole time and it maybe it
was a little annoying, but I didn't have one zoo
a complaint because they're allowed to do that.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Channon pro stand.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Up, stand up.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
If you look at the best atmospheres in college basketball,
it's all people standing up, moving around.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Our crowd just sits there on their hands. It's kind
of boring.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
It's weird because on football we don't do that. In football,
I don't think our fans tell people to sit down.
But I we are rupp Aerna, especially lower level has
got you are not at a play, Okay, no one
(10:34):
owes you to sit down, and we've got to change
that culture. We rupperena. And you saw this during that
run last night can be a really great atmospheyes, but
we've got to stop this idea that you're there to
be entertained. You are an active part of this environment
and so for loss in And I believe the other
(10:54):
kid's name was Chuck let Lawson and Chuck buck right
like them do their thing and I and you've got
to stop yelling at people to sit down.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
I think I don't know what it is about people
that think that they have the right to dictate what
other people do at a ball game.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
I mean, I mean, it is annoying if you're sitting
there staring at somebody's butt, but.
Speaker 7 (11:17):
Stand You can stand up too, Yes you can.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
And like I agree with Drew, if somebody's like handy
caap some issue, then you do try to work with them.
I'm totally fine with that. But in general, up up
on your feet, jackets. Fans can't be beat. We used
to say that in Middlesborough.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
Why can't we say it here. I'm completely with you.
Speaker 8 (11:37):
You should be allowed to stand.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (11:38):
I'll add that last night I wasn't around any of
the city standing debates, but one of my biggest takeaways
was the crowd was pretty sleepy last night. Now, part
of that was you'd just blown a seventeen oh lead
and they were disappointed in conshoints weren't being made. It
was a lot was a reaction to uh.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
But then they went on that run.
Speaker 8 (11:54):
It did, but there was a lull there where you
could hear a pin dropping up, and that hadn't been
the case this season.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Yeah. Well, I mean we were playing good.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
It's hard to get it's hard to get the crowd
excited while playing bad.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Now, Shannon, you have the the ad, right, I have
what you played last night on the postcame.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Okay, So here we go. This is this is the
Red State ad with Ryan the Flim Doctor.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Come on, let's go.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
Anytime you're ready, Shannon.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
No, it's not me.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Anytime. The computers ready, I'm.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Kind of I'm kind of waiting on. You are now everywhere.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Let me give you the latest select Kroger locations across Kentucky,
southern Ohio, and southern Indiana. Same thing at Liquor Barn
in Lexington, Danvill and eat Town. They're a jungle gym.
Do you hear that out there?
Speaker 5 (12:40):
You go? You heard it? Heard it?
Speaker 7 (12:42):
Because it's you I don't remember it at all.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
I thought someone was in my closet when.
Speaker 7 (12:49):
It could be anybody.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
No, I don't think it's I don't think it's lost
it in Chuck. I think actually it's you. Why would
you spit up during my my Obviously I did not.
Would you like to apologize Red State Barbers?
Speaker 6 (13:07):
David Carroll to Red State Barbecue? My apologies on Mattle
can cut four more good spots.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
In this one. You you're gonna be the one that
owes them.
Speaker 7 (13:18):
I probably should go get some Red State Barbecue for
dinner tonight.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
I think that's the best way to I think that's
the best way to pay him bik So, all right, well,
the Cats win the game.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Anything that worries you about this game going forward?
Speaker 8 (13:31):
I didn't see anything new that concerns me. But they
need to get Lamant and Butler back in a hurry.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Sounds like he will play Saturday, but it depends on how.
Speaker 8 (13:40):
He does with Perry. Just couldn't guard anybody. I mean,
Brea still gets burned back quite a bit. They really
need his defense, but they need his everything back. But
I did nothing new popped up. Yeah, I kind of
agree with that. If I'm nine two eighth twenty two
eighty seven. Text machine is seven seven two seven four
five two five four. We'll talk more about the game.
Let the kids stand up and the adults.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
There's a picture of a one adult standing up during
the game as well down low.
Speaker 8 (14:03):
I interviewed him on my rapid reaction. We need thousands
more of him, the thousands more him less.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
I can't say. We'll be right back scas now and
think about direction one like this? Why you do? Yeah?
Do you know who it is?
Speaker 7 (14:22):
Rim?
Speaker 5 (14:22):
Rim? That's right?
Speaker 6 (14:24):
Stand yep, big big song back in my dep glory days,
the glory day.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Uh huh good h eight five nine twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Text machine seven seven two seven seven four five two
five four.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
What person rights? Matt?
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Why do you have to stand a cheer? Can't you
cheer and sit? You can, but it's not as exciting.
It's the same reason I make these guys stand at
the remotes. You can't help but command more energy when
you're standing. When you're sitting. Your bite's very nature, not
as energetic.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
That's just the way it goes.
Speaker 6 (14:55):
And you know you're you're there to watch a game.
When your team scores you just natural intertings. A lot
of timers just stand up and yeah, you know, give
him a little fist.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Put one person right's mad. It's good to hear you
finally change your tune on the rough crowd. You used
to be far more apologetic for them and didn't trumpet
the active participant theory. Now, what I've said before was
it's also up to the team to play well. It's
hard to get excited, Drew when you're playing poorly, as
you could see last night. But I do think Kentucky,
(15:25):
once Robinson made that first three that gave us the lead,
I do think the crowd was kind of a big
part of getting that to where it went from two
to eleven.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
I do think the crowd was part of that.
Speaker 8 (15:36):
Yeah, and uh, I'll add that Trentonoah making one of
those threes, got the feet.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
How about him?
Speaker 7 (15:41):
Played well, you know, he got some good minutes.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
They called a time out after he hit the three,
and Pope kept him out there on the floor. I mean,
he was defense, wasn't hurting you, you know. I think
he added a little spark last night.
Speaker 8 (15:52):
I liked Pope told the story that Noah got the
ball right in front of him as soon as he
checked in and Pope told him to throw it into Amari.
Noah could clearly her Pope, He's standing right in front
of him, and Noah took a three. Pope said, I
actually love that that he just brushed me off and
wanted to get a shot. Shows to day he's confidence
when he gets in and I also love that Pope's
cool with that. Like a lot of coaches might have
the ego of I told you to do this, do it.
(16:13):
He wants his players.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
That's one thing we always talk about the differences between
Pope and cal That's one thing that they're similar about.
They want their players to kind of have ownership of
their team and do what, you know, make decisions on
the fly.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
I'm glad he pulled the trigger to hit the shot because,
you know, Jack Gibbs said during the radio broadcast at
that time, he's been shooting really really well in practice.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Yeah, Gibvens, he called that in the pregate. He said,
I think Noah will play, and he's been shooting well,
shooting well, and he ended up getting there. How about
Tom Hart with his mentions said, you know who knew
Mario would end up on ESP and said that Colgate
needed to be more consistent to take it to the
next level. And then he also noted about sage. Yes,
(16:57):
he said that you can't put the sage in the wall.
Ryan all Tom back with the KSR references.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
It made me very happy.
Speaker 7 (17:06):
Somebody sit at this table may have been feeding him, right.
Speaker 8 (17:09):
Tom did all the work. He went to the stage,
well twice he did. He said they need to burn
some stage some sage. Then he went back to it
later and mentioned sage getting wet. I mean he gets
wet or something that feels like one of the more
KSR reference heavy broadcasts he's done. I don't know if
he was bored or people were standing up in front
of him, but he was going to the KSR.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Well a lot sage, the sage being well, that was that.
I do think that's a really Uh that was very
specific and I like that.
Speaker 7 (17:35):
He did consistency once in the first half, once in
the second half.
Speaker 8 (17:38):
Yeah, I think there were five or six throughout the night.
I don't know if he ever got to cowboy hats,
but I was.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
Rooting for it. Well. Uh, overall, be a nice win.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Now Louisville barely beat you tap last night, they struggled,
they were down in the second half. Some are you
and all Drew worried about the Louisville game on on Saturday.
Speaker 8 (17:57):
I haven't. The only game I've actually seen of Louisville
was when they came back against West Virginia and the Bahamas,
and they were healthier, Perrier played well. So I still
don't really know what they are. I'm very confident, maybe
too confident. I kind of just feel like they can't lose,
which is probably the wrong way to look at it.
But the I mean utup led a lot of that game.
I was watching the score while I was at RUP,
so that had to be a little concerning.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
I've watched them get blown out now twice. The Dude
game was interesting because they played really well.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
For a half and then played really poorly for a half.
Speaker 8 (18:28):
So you get they can't shoot, but they are tough
at Chucky, hepburn guards, He's good.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
He's good, and I think we do. That's why I
want to make sure LaMonte Butler plays. After the game,
Pope said they'd find out this morning if he was
gonna play. He also said that he thought Kerk Crisa
would be back in six weeks. He told a story
said that as Kerr was coming out of the haze
of his surgery and he was a little bit well.
(18:56):
I think Pope said he was still high from the medication,
that he facetimed Pope just to tell him how much
he loved him and the team, which he said Pope
said he almost went live on Instagram to show everyone
Kerr being high.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
I actually thought that was kind of funny. I bet
Kerr would have liked that.
Speaker 7 (19:13):
I thought that was a great story.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
I loved hearing that.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
But yeah, they they definitely need him and Lama back,
and you know, like you said, Lamont had a full
practice yesterday. They're gonna see how his body responds today.
But we definitely need him. I mean, it's not the
same team without him.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
It's just not It doesn't I know, we won in
the second half against Gonzaga without him.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
But long term, I think we have to have Yeah.
Speaker 8 (19:36):
Yeah, definitely. The defense, especially last night, was evident. When
you got Colgate guys taking off the dribble, that's when
it was evident he needed to get back out there.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
Yeah, who's up at first? David David? How are you?
David Good?
Speaker 9 (19:49):
I'm on my way to Murray, and I did not
foresee having to watch for mules and drunk people in
rush our traffic.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Yeah, I made news yesterday too. He's been ready the story.
Drew told that national news.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
But go ahead.
Speaker 9 (20:07):
One thing about the game. It's nice to see Oway
finally hit a big three, because it feels that he's
missed about five of them this year.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Yeah, it was nice to see Oway hit one.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
He I mean, not only has he missed him the
last few games, he's been way off, I mean, like
not even close. It was nice to see Bray and
getting a rhythm. But I thought the Oway one was
big because he was looking to me like he was
starting to like try to guide the ball.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
In the basket.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
And when you do that, Drew, it's really hard to
get your rhythm back because you're you're kind of not
doing what you normally do.
Speaker 8 (20:39):
No, he had another open corner three, the one that
he's been missing lately. Missed that one, but he got.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Two to go in.
Speaker 8 (20:45):
Otherwise, I think you had like five rebounds, five ausus
zero turnovers. He had a pretty good game overall.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
I appreciate the call. Can I say something real quick
about our team? Yeah, I think we overpass a little bit.
Speaker 7 (20:56):
I heard you say that last time the post came.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
I think we over I mean, I I am all
for sharing the ball, but I think we give up
too many open looks like Breya, he passed open a
couple like you're the best shooter on the team. I
don't I don't understand why gives up shots. I mean,
I get it, but at the same time, we need
him to shoot a little bit more.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
And then when we drive in for a layup.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
I'm all for occasionally tossing the lob to Amari and Garrison,
but we do that a lot Drew and it sometimes
leads to turnovers, like if you got a layup it
was again, Braya one time.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
Take the layup right.
Speaker 8 (21:34):
Yeah, they are very unselfish. We've even seen them have
an open layup and throw it out for a three.
It's worked a couple of times. When it doesn't, it
sure seems very silly. I like it when it's working,
but it has led to some bad turnovers. Mario Williams
tried to force a pass last night that never stood
a chance. But when he does thread that needle, it special.
So I guess a little give and take there there
is a little bit of a give and take.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
But I do think we over you know, I mean,
that's a nice problem to have, but I do think
we sometimes overpass.
Speaker 7 (22:01):
Last night was the first time.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
I think it was kind of obvious that, yeah, they
we passed up with some open looks to try to
force something in down low. Maybe maybe they were trying
to get a mari on track and Brandon on track.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Little well they did. I think a Mario scored the
first two baskets of the game, so that was good.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Tomorrow, remember we are at beer No's uh in New Albany. Right, Yes,
Charleston crossing, Charleston crossing.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Why did you just stare straight ahead?
Speaker 6 (22:25):
I thought Shannon was getting ready to say where we were,
but he was thinking he's just said one minute.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Yeah, Charleston crossing. I'll say it.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Two thousand and two, three thousand and two, Charleston crossing,
New Albany. It's our uk U of L preview show.
It's at the Pizza Place. It's always good. It's a
great chance to uh get ready for the Louisville game
in their backyard. It's also our oldest remote we've been
doing it now this will be our eleventh year. Like
(22:54):
I said, our twelfth year, I think of doing this show.
So that is tomorrow. Hope to see you all in Louisville.
We'll take a be right back. Kentucky Sports Radio. T
J Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
He'll make them pay.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
By the way, the story now has gone international as
the Daily Mail has picked up the story of the
baby just sitting on the steps at the Kentucky Gonzaga game.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
Uh do we ever hear who that baby was? Even yesterday?
Speaker 8 (23:33):
If we brought up on the show.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
I did some searching on Twitter.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
In the interview see the picture of the baby just
hanging out smoking a cigarette on the steps of the
Kentucky Gonzaga game, just lighting one up there.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
I thought you were gonna say the international was the
guy on the mule being chased.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
By Oh yeah, that one will too. But but just
just yeah, it's.
Speaker 7 (23:52):
Nobody's claimed it. I guess you don't want to claim that.
Speaker 8 (23:54):
I mean it's an infant. Infant, yeah, I mean it's
like a baby.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
It's it looks like it looks like Maggie Simpson just
sitting there on the on the thing. All right, So
we got some folks here from Henderson. Yes, this woman
hears from for sales. It's her birthday, birthday, Happy birthday.
This guy right here just brought us this is a
a coke bottle.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
This is r C.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
First of all, this is a Tubby Smith coke from
nineteen ninety eight six pack. But then this is an
R Sea bottle from nineteen seventy four that has the
Kentucky basketball logo on it. This R Sea bottle is
fifty years old. Wow, fifty years old. What would happen
(24:34):
if you drank this? What happens to coke after fifty years?
Speaker 7 (24:41):
I don't know if I want to find out, But.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
That was It's very cool. I've been a This is
a fifty year old coke bottle. And then the Tubby Smith.
Look how young Tubby looks.
Speaker 7 (24:50):
Tubby looks like a baby.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
He looks like a little young guy here fifty years ago.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
He brought me a copy of the Saint Louis Post
Dispatch from nineteen ninety eight when Mark McGuire at home run.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
That's cool.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
You should get that front. I'm going to get that.
That's actually very that's very nice of you to do.
By the way, that's very cool.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
Right.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Can I give you a little before we go to
the phones again, A little food to a food update. Okay,
first of all, right down the street from here yesterday,
did you all see the circus right down the street
here from ks Bar? Do you know Ryan what hull
All food is?
Speaker 5 (25:23):
Do not know what that is? Drew? And I really like.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
Hlal It's well, it's like it's hull All food.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
I don't know how to describe it. What what nation
does it come from? Do you know?
Speaker 4 (25:37):
I guess it's kind of it's not Indies. It well
whatever somebody will tell us. It's like a yeah, it's
like that's it. It's Arabic. It's like it's like Muslim
Arabic would be the way to say. But it's like
chicken and rice, chicken cooked a certain way and it
has like a white sauce on and don't forget the
(25:58):
way lamb let bit there, big on, big on lamb
and basically you get it in New York on the
street a lot. Okay, Drew introduced me years ago when
we were doing the us open Halal Guys, which is
a cart which back then was a cart in front
of Rockefeller Center.
Speaker 8 (26:15):
Six actually right where that shooting was, like exactly, yes,
almost exactly where that shooting was.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
He's right, and we used to go all the time,
Drew and I. Now they have restaurants. There's one in Nashville.
They're everywhere. Okay, So it's it's it's very much expanded.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
Well there's a hala.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
It's not Halal guys, but it's a different place. It's
called like I don't know, hulaw in your face or
something right over here. It's just right down the street.
And yesterday they gave away free food. Oh they said
on Wednesday, all the food is free. Wow, which I
don't know how restaurants do. That is someone that works,
like you live on the margin. I don't know how
they're giving them, but more power to them. I drove
(26:54):
by yesterday. You would have thought Taylor Swift was playing there.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
The line was.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
I mean, the line was like three blocks long of
people of people waiting to eat. You know, it goes
to show you give somebody something free, huh, and they
will do anything. The line was down the road. It
was from like noon to five.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
It was free. Wow, and I've never seen anything like it.
It had to have cost them a zillion dollars to
give away all that free food.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
They probably know they'll make it right back on me
and you eating lunch there for I will eat there.
I'm going to be a regular. I'd' even had the food.
That's the only part that garage. It's all right, there's
a few customer spots in there.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
Okay, gotcha. Well, I couldn't believe it. Second thing, skyline
for the UKU of L game. Have you seen what
they're doing between now? On Saturdays all that for the
UKU of L game. You can get a skyline with
blue noodles or red noodles, which is crazy to me, Right,
(27:59):
blue new toodles or red noodles.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
I feel like I have to go and get the
blue noodles. I agree. Would you eat a blue noodle?
Speaker 10 (28:07):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (28:07):
Yeah, I would eat it.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
Yeah, But I'm like you, I feel like I kind
of have to go and get blue noodles skyline.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
You don't think that's weird because I mean, noodles are
not naturally blue.
Speaker 7 (28:17):
No, but I'm sure they still taste like a noodle.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
You know, they just blue color, just a little color
in there.
Speaker 8 (28:23):
Why aren't you I'd go for it. Not the red ones,
certainly not but the blue ones.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
So you have until Saturday blue noodles, but you miss
the free food down the road from the Whole All
whatever the name of that place.
Speaker 6 (28:34):
Well that's crazy because you just told us yesterday Fish's
Big Boy the line there. Then you said there's a
line of yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
Who hate it.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
The same day Frish's closes out with the old in
with the here in Lexington.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
Who's up next? Bill? Bill? Go ahead? Bill?
Speaker 10 (28:49):
Yeah, Hi Matt, first time caller, who listener? Yes, I
got a quick comment about the crowdsed and of course
that's nothing. Those of us have been around for a
long time. Note that that hasn't changed. I was remember
of the pet band back in the Potino era, and
if you remember, they had the students on the side
(29:10):
behind the bench, and they also had the band right
at center court, and we constantly got told that if
we didn't sit down that they were going to move us.
And now you see the band and the students are
now in the inZone.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
Yeah, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
It's ridiculous to not allow the people to stand you know,
they basically moved the kids into the end zone, which
I think was a money grab that I didn't like,
but it is what it is.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
That'll probably never change. But uh, you know, it's what
I get.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
If people don't want to stand, but you can't yell
at the kids not to and even not kids, it's
adults let people because we got to get the energy
up in there. But it's been good this year, Drew.
This has probably been the best it's been in pre
since pre COVID when you're.
Speaker 8 (29:51):
Been unreal in they're That Georgia State game the day
after Thanksgiving felt like one of the best atmospheres I've
seen in rop which is crazy for a non conference
game like that, but so many people in for the holidays.
We're excited to go see the new era and when the.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
SEC basketball comes, I appreciate the call. We're gonna need
our crowd for every game. I saw a stat yesterday
if you look at the teams that were predicted twelfth
through sixteenth in the SEC, So the bottom five teams
in the SEC so far this year, Ryan, they are
forty two and full Well.
Speaker 7 (30:23):
Yeah, Missouri probably one of the LSU's.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
Missouri Oklahoma, Vandy, LSU, and I don't remember who the
other one was, but South Carolina.
Speaker 7 (30:35):
Uh they forty two and full and that's the bottom
tier of the SEC.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
Yeah, forty two and don't even look at it. I mean, no,
only one team in the SEC has three losses one.
Speaker 7 (30:45):
That's crazy.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
The entire conference. That's unbelievable.
Speaker 6 (30:49):
It is unbelievable. And you think of the bottom tier
guys like I think LSU is undefeated, Vandy's got one loss,
Missouri just beating number one can.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
And let me also tell all of you get your
sleep in during the holidays. January fourth, we have a
home game against Florida to start the SEC schedule, and
it's at eleven am because that's a day.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
I don't know why we're playing at eleven am?
Speaker 8 (31:10):
Is that Why are we playing in eleventh January fourth?
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Yeah, I don't know, but anyway, the game is at
eleven am. We gotta be ready for that one. It's
too early in the morning. I don't like that time slot,
but that's a game we gotta win because it's a
home you gotta hold serve at home. Yes, and that
will be a big one early in the morning.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
Yeah, They're very good. Really.
Speaker 8 (31:30):
With last night's game behind us, only Brown has left
on the schedule is one you can go in and
just say we know we're gonna win. That this is
flown by already and we're about to hit to that
Louisville and were at Ohio State and hitting that gauntlet.
Speaker 5 (31:41):
Yeah. Sec, Who's up next?
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Clifton?
Speaker 5 (31:45):
Go ahead, Clifton.
Speaker 11 (31:47):
Hey, Matt, I live in Indiana and I wanted to
call in and give you an exhibit A as to
why we should never play IU basketball again. I'm driving
around this morning in my car and the radio show
I'm listening to brings up that yesterday evidently was the
anniversary of the watch shot.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Oh, very ridiculous. Y're ridiculous with the Watford shots. Are
Indiana fans? They The way they act about the Watford
shot is why they are no longer an elite basketball program.
The fact that they still throw a holiday for a
regular season shot against a team that knocked them out
(32:29):
of the tournament that year is why they are no
longer one of them. I wouldn't even say they are
a top ten program anymore. And to me, that's exhibit A. Y.
Speaker 11 (32:39):
I don't I totally agree, and a reporter asked one
of the current players as he remembered the shot, and
he couldn't name the player that took the shot, and
they thought it was a travesty. But then also they
added that evidently Tom Crean and his wife were out
the dinner last night, like Crean.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
But Tom Crean and his wife have a celebratory dinner
every year on the anniversary of the Watford shot.
Speaker 8 (33:08):
Like, come on, man, like like Tom, I'm putting on
the watch Shot outfit tonight for I mean, she.
Speaker 5 (33:15):
Probably goes and dresses up nice for him.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Tom wears his special boxers and it's like it's the
Watford Shot night. I don't get that. I really don't.
I appreciate call. If you like, who are the top
ten programs in college basketball right now? You can because
of how much they wont Duke, Carolina, Kentucky and Kansas
are grandfathered.
Speaker 5 (33:37):
In because they're the four best. Who would you say
or the other five? Today?
Speaker 4 (33:43):
If you're saying what are the top programs when you
consider relevant history all that, who is zag They're they're
one up, so let's put them six.
Speaker 5 (33:53):
Who else? It's Michigan State still want they're they're holding
on barely.
Speaker 8 (33:57):
They got a few more years to do something, and
we're gonna have to have a conversation about the or
not in it anyone.
Speaker 7 (34:01):
I'd put Villanova ahead of them actually right now at.
Speaker 6 (34:03):
This point, even without Jay Wright. Yeah, I mean, whether
they've proven what's the I think I.
Speaker 4 (34:08):
Would take them out because I don't think Jay Wright
is the same. Would you put Arizona in there?
Speaker 8 (34:15):
If we're taking these out and doing what's relevant, Yes,
we're doing real or what's recent. I might even put
like a Houston in there. We're doing real recent, but
that's not a it's not a bad one a long time,
it's not a bad one. Would you put Tennessee in there, Auburn, Alabama?
They have all been better than Villanova and Michigan State, unless.
Speaker 7 (34:34):
Tennessee still not been to the final four?
Speaker 5 (34:37):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
I think it's hard. I mean, to me, definitively, the
top five are the four historical powers in Connecticut at
this point. I mean, you gotta put Duke Carolina, Kentucky,
and Kansas just because there's a panache with those programs.
And then I think you throw in Yukon because the wins. Yeah,
and then to me, that's the five. What's interesting is
(34:58):
I might go to twenty before i'd get Indiana.
Speaker 6 (35:02):
And when we started, we started this show thirteen fourteen
years ago, they were top five or six.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
Indiana to me is behind. If you're talking about people
will tune in to watch them. They're behind Kentucky with
cal at Arkansas. They're behind Arkansas. I think they're behind Tennessee,
Auburn and Alabama, right yeah, I just I don't think
that they they don't matter, which is why I don't understand.
I don't want to play them. I'd rather do Home
(35:30):
and Homes with the Yukons of the world. The Kansas
is the Houston. I mean, who cares. I know, you
old heads.
Speaker 5 (35:38):
Well, if they will get good, it's fun. But they're
not gonna get good. We've been here and they're gonna
get me good. But if they're not gonna get if.
Speaker 8 (35:45):
They figured out, it's a good right now? Ahead of them?
Speaker 5 (35:50):
Who is ahead of them? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (35:51):
Somebody one time said they were Vienna sausage.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
Vienna sausage really good fifty years ago, but now we
have extra dinner.
Speaker 5 (36:00):
Clayton Crum was founded on a simple idea.
Speaker 4 (36:02):
All leather goods, unlike Indiana basketball, should last a lifetime.
They make everything from bags, belts, wallets, and more. And
the best part, they're doing it right here in Kentucky.
You can check them out at Clayton Andkroom dot com
that's crum Me dot com, or go to their flagship
store in Louisville two sixteen South Shelby Street in New
lou Quality leather goods, built to last. If you want
(36:22):
to order for Christmas, do it now at Clayton and Kroum.
We'll take a break, be right back. It's KISR Mama,
welcome back. Take you sports radio. It's a good Tom
Petty song. Shannon was there Mary Jane's last dance.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
Yeah, there aren't many bad ones for Petty.
Speaker 5 (36:40):
Usually not Tom.
Speaker 4 (36:41):
Petty's got probably the greatest depth of non country songs
I like Shannon of anybody, I can't think of anybody that.
Speaker 5 (36:49):
Has a wider variety, like a wider number of songs
that I like.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
He's got a right to your wheelhouse too. I just
got that vibe too.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
Even though it's not country, it's it's it's not country,
but it's like wall the line of country but like
Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, you know, Tyler.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
There's like a handful of people that I could say
I like twenty songs of and Tom Petty's probably one
of them.
Speaker 7 (37:11):
I like this because he says Indiana Boys on the
Indiana Knights.
Speaker 5 (37:14):
That's what. That's a great reason to like it.
Speaker 4 (37:16):
Yeah, eight five, nine, two eighth, twenty two eighty seven,
real quick, couple of hires.
Speaker 5 (37:22):
Do they work? Belichick?
Speaker 7 (37:25):
It's I don't know if it'll work immediately, but I
think they can have some success with him.
Speaker 4 (37:30):
I'm going no, it's not gonna work, No, but it's
gonna be fun to watch. And they're bringing Mike Lombardi,
who is as GM as the Patriots, to be the.
Speaker 5 (37:38):
GM of the team.
Speaker 8 (37:39):
I'm one of the few people that was on the
side of I wouldn't even want to make Kentucky. He's
just too old. He undone college. What do you He's
not gonna win one in two or three years, and
so how long is he really gonna stay?
Speaker 4 (37:49):
What about rich Rodriguez going back to West Virginia. They
say you can't go home again? Can you go home?
Speaker 7 (37:55):
That shocked me. I mean he had great success there though,
he's still revered.
Speaker 4 (37:59):
But they hated him because they said he backstabbed him
and left and now he's coming back.
Speaker 5 (38:03):
That's crazy, isn't it.
Speaker 8 (38:04):
I went to a West Virginia game. They were top
three and he was the coach, and that city was
on fire. They were worshiping him at the time.
Speaker 4 (38:11):
Yeah, I mean they had a shot, they had a
shot to make the National Championship Game with him.
Speaker 5 (38:16):
They lost and didn't get to do it. But I
think they lost a pit maybe, but that's I think.
Speaker 4 (38:21):
I think they lost a pit, like thirteen to nine,
and next year they're playing on nine to thirteen they
play each other, which is kind of funny.
Speaker 5 (38:29):
But yeah, I mean, can you do that? Can you?
Can you go home again?
Speaker 6 (38:35):
He probably shouldn't because I don't know if they he
can re duplicate what he had at West Virginia the
first time.
Speaker 5 (38:40):
Both those hires kind of surprising to me, to be
honest with you, Who's up next?
Speaker 3 (38:44):
Let's go to Nate.
Speaker 5 (38:45):
Nate, go ahead, and Nate, Hey, what's up?
Speaker 1 (38:48):
Man?
Speaker 5 (38:49):
What's going on?
Speaker 12 (38:50):
I'm a guy that was standing in the lower raining
last night.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
Oh, you were the dude in the picture that was
standing and screaming and it was your first game, if
I'm correct, right, But no, I'd been.
Speaker 12 (39:01):
There before, but those seats are the best seats I'd
ever had. I'd actually had some upper Rena tickets gave
to me, and I was sitting there and I was like, man,
I want to be closer to the game. And I
got on ticket Masters started scrolling through and saw those
two seats were available. RI end up being I bit
the bullet bottom and got down there amongst the little
(39:21):
aren the crowd.
Speaker 5 (39:22):
So what was it like? Did they tell you to
sit down?
Speaker 12 (39:26):
No? Nobody said anything. I had a had an old
man a couple of rows in front of me that
was encouraging it. But I was just I didn't care
what anybody thought. I was there to have a good time.
And I can remember being a kid and going to
uh Monday Night raw back when stone Goes rock those guys.
I'm thinking, if the Kentucky Club would act like this,
that's right, it would be insane.
Speaker 4 (39:47):
We could we could open up a candle woo pass
if they would, if they'd be like Stone Cold, wouldn't
we Yeah?
Speaker 12 (39:54):
Oh hell yeah here we would. Yeah? And I just
we were struggling last night, I got up seventeen and
us and and you know, they started making shots. And
then once we started going on going on that little run,
it was like, you have to get good before, and
that's how I done last time. I was happy to
get Maybe I was part of the reason.
Speaker 5 (40:14):
Why we I think you are. I think you are
the reason we won. So well. I appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (40:18):
Glad you enjoyed the bougie seats for a night, and
hopefully we can get you down there for a big game.
Speaker 12 (40:25):
I love it.
Speaker 5 (40:26):
I love that, appreciate appreciate the call.
Speaker 4 (40:28):
By the way, see young guy right here, it's his
birthday today from Naples, Florida, fourteen years old. Do you
remember what you were like when you were fourteen years old?
I don't actually want to know what you were like
when you were fourteen years old. I have I think
I have a pretty good guess and I don't.
Speaker 5 (40:43):
Yeah. Probably very similar, that's exactly right.
Speaker 4 (40:47):
Bodily noises, same inability to say the right things.
Speaker 5 (40:51):
I you know what, just leave your leave it right there.
Speaker 7 (40:54):
Nineteen eighty I had a big, massive afro hair.
Speaker 5 (40:58):
That's something that's different. The ladies loved also something different.
Speaker 3 (41:01):
They pulled it all out.
Speaker 5 (41:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (41:03):
Yeah, all of the butterfly collars bose. Those are two
things that I have seen change just a little bit.
Speaker 5 (41:09):
Druh.
Speaker 8 (41:10):
Yeah, I'm glad Ryan didn't take the bait there and
tell us about what he was doing as a fourteen
year old. But do we need to break into the
chee cheese birthday song?
Speaker 5 (41:17):
Yeah, we ought it. We ought to sing before.
Speaker 4 (41:19):
By the way, the UK volleyball team is playing in
the Sweet sixteen at one o'clock. So the UK volleyball
team plays Missouri at one o'clock today in the Sweet sixteen.
That's the team they beat at the end of the
regular season to win the SEC, so they've played them before.
They play at one o'clock. If they win, they go
to the Elite eight and play the number one team
in the country. That game, we're gonna have it on here,
(41:41):
but for those of you that aren't here, I think
it's on ESPN two. Correct either way. So this it's
the first game of the Sweet sixteen. Kentucky is likely favored.
The game is in Pittsburgh and they play Missouri drew
with the chance to once again make the Elite eight.
It would be I think Craig's skin fifth Elite eight,
(42:01):
which is kind of an amazing thing for a guy
that to be at Kentucky.
Speaker 8 (42:05):
Yeah, I'll be watching him.
Speaker 5 (42:06):
Rude to Demne.
Speaker 8 (42:07):
The SEC was good to him in the regular season.
Gotta stay hot. When they won the championship a few
years ago, I remember like pulling over on the side
of the road and watching on my phone really getting
into that run.
Speaker 4 (42:16):
I'm hoping they can. That was a great atmosphere here
at the bar. You remember that, Yeah, when we won
the championship. So you know they if they can win today,
they have a setup for a team that if they
could beat them, they have a shot to win the
whole thing. So that is at one o'clock this afternoon,
we're gonna take a break. The football schedule for next
year came out. It's a beast.
Speaker 5 (42:35):
We'll talk about it right for this this Kentucky Sports
