Speaker 5 (00:56):
Got I got some talking to dude.

Speaker 4 (00:57):
We have tights Monday, Monday after UK game in Super Bowl,
so we'll We'll get to that later. A Vision Auto
glass text machine is seven seven two seven seven four
five two five four in this edition sponsored by the TJ.
Smith loves if you called TJ, He'll make them pay,
all right, So guys, let's just start with this. Should
we start UK South Carolina or Super Bowl? I will

(01:18):
let the three of you decide which of those two
topics we do first. It's up to you. So so Ryan,
you do the first.

Speaker 5 (01:25):
Folks, Well, but we're getting ready, I said, man, that
South Carolina game seems like it was a month ago.

Speaker 4 (01:29):
So I'm gonna go super Bowl. You're gonna go super Bowl?
I Shandon, would you like to start UK? South Carolina
or Super Bowl?

Speaker 2 (01:34):
I think the super Bowl was an absolute dud. I
think we should start Kentucky South Carolina.

Speaker 4 (01:38):
All right, So the Drea that means it all comes
down to you. You have to decide which one you
want to start with. You you're radio pro, what do
you think that's the way? Man?

Speaker 6 (01:46):
I love both of these events, but I think the
super Bowl is still fresh. I mean it hadn't been
a full day so since it happened. So let's just
keep riding that wave while it's on everyone's mind.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
So we're gonna do the Super Bowl to UK South Carolina.
Here's the thing about the Super Bowl. I think we
can all agree the game was boring. So because the
game was boring, I don't have a lot of game thoughts.
I'll give a couple quick ones. It was it was
nice to see that Patrick Mahomes is a human you know,
like I mean, it's always felt like he would win

(02:15):
every game for the rest of time. He'd won seventeen
straight one score games. I guess that's still true because
this wasn't a one score game. They got absolutely blown out.
He looked, he looked like you out there, right, And
maybe it was nice to see that he's he's a
human being and we don't have to act like he's
made of magic anymore.

Speaker 5 (02:35):
They could not get a first down on the first half.
They couldn't get past midfield the first half. It was
amazing to watch that the offense struggle the way it did.

Speaker 6 (02:42):
Yeah, I've always wondered what Mahomes would look like if
he played for the Titans, and that was it. I
mean that offensive line. I mean, he wasn't good. The
interceptions were bad, but he had no chance that Eagles
front four. I think should have just shared the MVP award.
They dominated them from the very beginning. That was actually
very impressive to watch against the team. It's so good
on Sunday mornings.

Speaker 4 (03:01):
You know, we have her Edwards every week, and I've
decided her Edwards is kind of becoming like the uh,
the older black uncle that I never had. He's my
ESPN's right, like, I love her, like we for someone
I've only met in person one time. I feel like
we're good friends. And every time he comes on during

(03:22):
the breaks, he gives me like life advice. You'll be like,
watch out for them ladies. They'll take your wallet and
they'll smile, and then you'll be like, where's my wallet?
And then I don't know what that means, and I'll go, Okay, her,
that makes sense to me, he said. When he came
on our show on Sunday, he was like, here's the
only thing to watch, Matt. He goes, you'll be a
football expert if you listen to this. First two possessions,

(03:45):
the Chiefs get if the Eagles can rush forward and
get to him. Game over, Eagles blowout, if we're they're
able to protect and the Eagles have to send the blitz,
Chiefs win blowout. He was like, that's the game. Just
see if the Eagles front four can get to him
without blitzing. And then they did it and he nailed
it and it was a blowout. He called it, and
so I feel like now he's magic, yeah, instead of

(04:06):
instead of my homes. That was a good pick.

Speaker 6 (04:08):
And even like people that believe that Chiefs have come
back magic, it was so dominant.

Speaker 4 (04:12):
I mean it was over early.

Speaker 6 (04:13):
I mean really, if they don't get that flag, it
could have been fourteen oh early, and it's really putting
them away. I just I knew the Eagles had a
good shot. I mean he was one point spread. But
to win it like that and to not even really
use Saquon that much, I know he don't have that
big Yeah, absolutely nuts that that was how it played out.

Speaker 4 (04:29):
It was it was I stopped watching it halftime. I
can't remember last time. I haven't watched the second half
of Super I didn't watch this because it was it
was over, Like what was the point, you know, and
I wasn't gonna watch TV four commercials. I had thirty
bets in so I was pretty entertained. You did thirty bets?

Speaker 6 (04:44):
Yes on DraftKings, Yes, so were you have a spreadsheet
with their odds?

Speaker 4 (04:47):
But I paid? But Sophie, were you over all up
or down?

Speaker 6 (04:50):
Where's it's? Actually? This is a wild ride. When the
fourth quarter started, oh for thirty was on the table.
Oh wow, I won too, And then I h a parlay.
My Titans parlay fifteen to one with a minute to go,
with several hundred dollars in bets, I think I lost
three dollars. So I tell that all because Hopkins caught

(05:11):
that touchdown. But I mean it was that it keeps
you entertained when you make that many. All that, and
you could have just given me three dollars. I wasted
a Sunday building the spreadsheet. But shout out to the Titans.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
Play you have fun. You gotta have fun, all right?
So so the game we can all agree, dud, So
you gotta talk about it, you know, ultimately, the super
bowls about all the other stuff, correct, who there's no
sporting event that I actually care less about the game
than the Super Bowl. I care about all the other things.
So I wrote down the things I want to talk
about in order. Let's start with, Uh, the America the Beautiful,

(05:41):
and the national anthem, America the Beautiful, I am a
strong believer should be our national anthem. It's better than
the national anthem. Do you agree with that?

Speaker 5 (05:49):
It kind of stirs up some feelings inside you, doesn't it.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
It's just better, it's better, And if you think about it,
it's just about it's the oh beautiful for spacious skies.
Waves of grain, come on, I'm in right there in
they bring out trombone Shorty. First of all, I like
to live in a country where there's a guy called trombone.
I gotta tell you, Shannon, when his parents named him

(06:14):
trombone shorty, they better be happy he played the trombone,
that's right. Yeah, what if he wanted to play the clarinet?
What happens? Then?

Speaker 2 (06:21):
I feel like that you've already been predetermined what you're
gonna do at that point.

Speaker 4 (06:25):
Dust And I never heard of him? Did you know
who he was? Still don't know who he is? What
do you mean you still don't know who he is?

Speaker 5 (06:31):
He was on the thing, Yeah, but I know nothing
about him?

Speaker 4 (06:33):
Okay, but you saw it? Yeah, all right? Who is?
You know who he is? Now?

Speaker 5 (06:37):
I don't know his history?

Speaker 4 (06:38):
Then I should say, well, I mean, I don't know
his background. I'm just saying he he brought out the
trombone and he did the whole New Orleans thing. I
thought it was really good. It was kind of remind
me it's not as good as the Marvin Gay one.
But I like Drew. He did his own He and
that woman I don't know the woman's name, but they
did their own unique thing and I really liked it.
Did you like Trombone Shorty? He did.

Speaker 6 (06:59):
Also, he's a New Orleans guy. I like the New
Orleans flair. That's such a fun city in a great
place to hold the event. I like that they worked
him into it.

Speaker 4 (07:05):
Yeah, you gotta like a good And by the way,
he's gonna be at Bourbon Beyond Shit. He's part of
He's part of Bourbon to Media. So now I'm gonna
go see Trombone Shorty. Unfortunately, when you play next to
a guy named Trombone Shorty, I'm gonna forget the other
person's next true what was her name, Laurels Ingles Wilder
that I don't think that was it slipping my mind.

Speaker 6 (07:25):
I played trombone, so Trombone Shorty was kind of out
there reperend Trombone. I don't think I knew the second
chair at Browning Springs Middle School. I took the track
first chair. Nick Jones was good man. Nick Jones was tough,
but no, he was out there living my seventh grade dream.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
Yeah. But the the woman is she a Christian singer?
I don't know. But they were good. I like their
whole thing. Then they have Harry Connick. I think there's
a rule that when you go to New Orleans you
have to have Harry connic. If you don't have Harry Connick,
then you're not even in New Orleans. They bring him out.
They just walked master P out, but he didn't do anything,
did he? You know what said? You were just like,

(08:00):
there's Master p. I love when they bring the HBCU bands. Right,
you're dancing, and but Harry Connick, he's just sitting there praying.
Every year, can they do something in New Orleans so
I can get back on TV. Shanton Harry Connick, no
person is on TV more with the city than.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
They had him away and they roll him out anytime
there's an event like that.

Speaker 4 (08:20):
By the way, he still looks like he did thirty five.

Speaker 5 (08:24):
Years as an age to day has he?

Speaker 7 (08:26):
You know?

Speaker 4 (08:26):
And he what were the movie? He was a movie
star for all he was? What movie was he? Well, first,
let's not forget he was on Hay Kentucky with Matt Jones.
The Derby was I think when I interviewed him in
my purple suit, Yeah, we're a Derby and uh, I
completely forgot it looked just like he does now. That
dude doesn't age. He does not age. But he was
like was he an Independence Day?

Speaker 5 (08:49):
Not sure?

Speaker 3 (08:49):
Yeah, he was.

Speaker 5 (08:51):
For a long time.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
He was in a movie where it was a horror
movie and he was like the surprising horror movie guy.
I think it was maybe White Yoakum was in that
movie too. Is there a movie called Panic Room? There
is a Panic Room that's got a I think it
has Dwight Yoakum. No, maybe not Harry Connick Jr. But

(09:12):
he's in a He's in a movie where he's like
a serial killer or something like that. Anyway, it was
nice to see him again. The national anthem? Did you
like the National Anthem? I did? Who was it?

Speaker 5 (09:23):
Jean Peptiste, Yeah, I've heard of that guy. I wouldn't
know anything he's he sings, but I've heard of him.

Speaker 4 (09:29):
Yeah, so so he was he was, he was good. Uh.
They put Trump on during that That was a good
time to put him on because she can't poot the
national anth true, right, So he got he got, he
got cheated. Well no, I mean that's actually if you
were gonna put a president on, you should put him
on during the national Yes, and that was good and
he was like saluting. Uh, they showed Taylor Swift the crowd,

(09:50):
I think because she's the chiefs person that didn't go
really no, and they didn't put her on during the
national She didn't. I would have said, put me on
during the national anthem, and they didn't do. Grew up
diehard Eagles and flip. That's a pretty easy boo for
Philly fans.

Speaker 6 (10:03):
Oh, I didn't know she was a diehard Eagles fan. Yes,
she grew up her and her dad wearing Eagles gear.
So that was a that was an easy boo for
the Philly people in New Orleans.

Speaker 4 (10:11):
Score bug? Why on the Super Bowl did they decide
to debut a new score bug that looks like it
was made on an atari in nineteen eighty four? Why
did they do that?

Speaker 5 (10:24):
You know, somewhere all the people that have eyes on that.
I can't believe somebody let that slide, Like, hey man,
maybe we need to tweak this a little bit. This
is not very good because they had to get approve
left to prove left or a brow. I thought their
old one was good. Why did they switch it now?

Speaker 4 (10:37):
Somebody said that maybe the reason is they did it
to work on cell phone screens, that more and more
people are watching the game, like on their cell phone,
and it packed in and looked better on the cell
phone screen. And I have no idea if that's true.
But otherwise it was awful. Don't debut new things at
the Super Bowl.

Speaker 6 (10:57):
I didn't mind how they took away some clutter. Defont
was just really big. Maybe you take the funt down
a little bit. I was all right with it being
kind of transparent around the stuff, but it was it
was a lot different.

Speaker 4 (11:07):
I just felt like I was watching tech mobile. I
wanted to watch the you know, it feels like modern,
and that was not modern. Uh the commercials. I only
got through the first half, so if there were ones
in the second half, I couldn't get the ones that
stuck out to me. They redid when Harry met Sally,
that was a big hit. I Shannon, you and Billy
didn't know what Harry meant.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
Sally, I know what it is. I've never seen the movie,
so I didn't really get the reference.

Speaker 4 (11:32):
That's crazy to I mean, Billy I get because he's younger.
But Shannon, Harry met Sally like that was when I
was six, No, no, and you were six and eighty nine. Yeah,
don't watch it. I thought everybody knew though. That scene,
that's the famous scene where she's like doing the thing
and in the restaurant. I guess they.

Speaker 5 (11:54):
Never heard that, and the old lady says, I want
what she's having.

Speaker 4 (11:57):
Sydney Sweeney in that was a good way to switch it.
Those at four? What was the commercial? Four? Mayonnaise?

Speaker 5 (12:05):
That's right, mayonnaise, that's right.

Speaker 4 (12:07):
I don't know what that had to do with mayonnaise,
but I think it was mayonnaise. What other conver commercial
stuck out besides answer?

Speaker 6 (12:15):
There was one that spoke to me because it was
Little Caesar's and Eyebrows. It was the Eugene Levey where
his eyebrows go off his head and fly around planning
on random things.

Speaker 4 (12:24):
I love Little Caesars. I just felt like that was
tailored to me. Shit, and I'm with you. The Seal
is a seal thing was kind of strange and it
made me remember that Seal existed. Yeah, I haven't seen him.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
I looked up and saw Seal's face on a seal.
I thought I'd overdosed on gummies again. But I was like, man,
what a what a strange commercial?

Speaker 4 (12:43):
That was seal on a seal? That's yeah. Oh.

Speaker 5 (12:46):
Even Dream mentioned the flying eyebrows with a flying mustache
for the Pringles commercial. I really enjoyed the breast cancer
commercial because it showed boobs for like thirty seconds.

Speaker 4 (12:58):
We've had conversations about this. That was my favorite. You
are a grown man, like even Mario, did you turn
the camera, turned the camera off and walked away. I'm
not using that one, Mark. I mean, Mario is twenty
five and even he knows. It's also the messaging in

(13:18):
that one, that's a serious message caught my attention. All right.
Back to what we were talking about.

Speaker 5 (13:26):
What do you think of the last Well, we may
have not seen it. You didn't watch second have David
Beckham and Matt Damon. That was a good commercial.

Speaker 4 (13:32):
Duncan Donuts. How did Bill Belichick's girlfriend get in the car.
No kidding, I mean, like unbelievable to me. This woman
who whose name I don't even know. Do you know
her name? Do you know her name? Show?

Speaker 3 (13:45):
I have no idea that she's got to get.

Speaker 4 (13:47):
Her name out there because if they're not going to
stay together forever, she's got to get her name out there.
Because I don't know what her name is. But when
that commercial came out, I was like, how did she
get into commercial? Do you think Belichick said, let's her in?

Speaker 3 (14:01):
Like man's got a lot of power, he can just
say put her in.

Speaker 4 (14:04):
The bowing to me that she ended up in the commercial,
like that's like a picture you take it a friend's
wedding and then you might get to like not date
anymore twenty years later and you're like, oh, this is
a picture of all my friends on their wedding day,
and this person's in it too. I wonder if that's
gonna happen, Like he's gonna be ninety, he's gonna be like,
she ruined my Dunkin Donuts commercial.

Speaker 6 (14:24):
I don't know that she's ruining much for Bill. Just
credit to them for knowing what's topical. I mean They're
one of the biggest stories outside of the actual game
in the last couple of weeks, and they got on.

Speaker 4 (14:32):
It to it. I can't believe she and she got
on the commercial.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
I can't well, I think Bill could probably just say, Hey,
if you don't put her in there, then I'm not
gonna do the commercial.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
Like I said, the guy's got some power at this.

Speaker 4 (14:42):
Point, I credit to her. I mean she has gone
from meets old man on plane to dating him to
now beaming commercials. Her next step, though, is she's got
to make it to where we know her name, because
none of us know her name right now.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
I just looked it up. Do you want to know
her name or do you want to know Bill Belichick?
Jordan Hudson.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
Jordan Hudson, I got the first letter. Well, I don't
know if I'm to remember that. I think I'm just
gonna keep in saying, Bill bell I could not believe
she was on that commercial.

Speaker 5 (15:14):
I'm Drew and Shannon. I think it was a boss
move by Bilichick probably said yeah, you can have me,
but you also want you gotta have her too. Yeah,
he knows the controversy around it. He's like, you know what,
I don't care.

Speaker 4 (15:26):
He doesn't seem to care about it at all since
he put her in the thing. Any other commercials.

Speaker 6 (15:31):
I liked Matthew McConaughey and the uber eats. When he's
like trying to name the bills, He's like, Buffalo Bill,
we need a team name, and its does stuff like that.
But I noticed, I don't know that there was a
single commercial without a celebrity. I get why they do it,
but it's like everyone like, all right, he's in the movie.

Speaker 4 (15:45):
And there were celebrities that I kind of forgot existed,
Like there's Willem Dafoe, like he's in a c I
think he was in a pickleball commercial. And uh, it
seems like the whole cast of Shift's Creek Careful how
I say that they were in like commercials the whole night?
Did that show retroactively become the biggest show of all time?

Speaker 6 (16:07):
I felt like they were in like the first four
consecutively too. I thought they had completely taken it over
right away, but it just showed. I mean there's I mean,
they're all fine, but it used to be a little
more clever rioting. Now it's like how much can we
pay Tom cruise to talk about this or that. I
did like Shane Gillis and all the bud Light stuff.

Speaker 4 (16:23):
Yeah, I don't know if I saw that, but well,
so that was good and we did we need it.
We still got to talk about halftime show. We had
a Commercialnis, We'll talk about UK old Miss No More Run.
We're gonna take a break eight five nine, twenty two
eighty seven. This is ks Hummer Seal. I really Shannon

(16:44):
didn't know Seal was still alive. I mean, I didn't
think he was dead, but I just hadn't thought about him.
When's the last time you had thought about.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
Seal twenty five thirty years ago?

Speaker 4 (16:54):
Maybe? Yeah.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
Back in the nineties, man, he was everything was huge.

Speaker 4 (16:57):
Kiss from a Rose was one of the biggest songs.

Speaker 3 (16:59):
One of my favorite songs in the nineties.

Speaker 4 (17:01):
Oh you really liked that song. I love this so
I've seen you as a kiss from Morose.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
I was telling Billy, you know, because everybody was calling
me a boomer, and I go, I'm such a boomer
that back in the day, you know, you had to
like wait for the radio to play the song and
try to catch it on your cassette tape.

Speaker 3 (17:15):
I had to do that with Kiss from a Rose.

Speaker 4 (17:17):
I get that. With the Knoxville Pop station Top nine
at nine, I would get it and get I would
put the cassette in and try to hit records, try
to get smells like teen spirit on it or whatever.

Speaker 3 (17:28):
You'd always missed the first few seconds.

Speaker 4 (17:29):
Always do it, but then when you got it, you
felt like you've really done something. The movie Drew was
copycat the Harry Cottage June. He's great in that, like
he's really scary in it. But he looks the same
now as he did in that movie. Honestly, Yeah, you
can go back like twenty years. That dude just has
an age. He just says an age and Mike, everybody's

(17:49):
mother what loved Harry? Oh? Yes, like everyone's mother. I
don't care who you are out there, Mario. You don't
know this. Your mother loved Harry Cotta Juniors. Bet she did.
You ask, she'll say that white boy got moves you
wait and see. I'm telling you the the everybody loves here.
Everybody's mom loves her.

Speaker 6 (18:09):
To your point, I watched the first half of my parents' house.
My mom wasn't really saying much like, oh, Harry.

Speaker 4 (18:13):
Connick is on Everybody's Mom Loves Harry Connick Junior. It's just,
it's just, it's just what it is. One person, writes
Matt Taylor Swift would have gotten booed at any point.
People don't like Taylor Swift, stop it. Lots of people do.
Matter of fact, she made more money than anyone on
the earth with her tour. I think people like they

(18:35):
it's I didn't realize she was an Eagles fan. Plus,
it's you know, the super Bowl got all these dudes,
it's a woman, there's Philly, it's Philly. It's yeah, Philly's.

Speaker 6 (18:43):
Gonna boot they boots Santa. So I mean, of course
they're gonna That's why she was laughing. She knew exactly
what they were doing.

Speaker 4 (18:48):
Yeah, all right, So then you get to the halftime show.
Twenty seconds into the halftime show, Drew, I knew. I
was like, well, Fox News has its content for the
next two weeks. Like, you just knew this is gonna
be something that's gonna make people mad. Well I thought
about the halftime show was I realized that even though
I've heard of Kendrick Lamar for fifteen years, I didn't

(19:10):
know any of his songs. I mean, I know the
one song, Yeah, they not like Us, They not like us.
But then I guess the other songs were his great
hits and I didn't know any of them, which made
me realize Kendrick Lamar might be the most famous artist
that I don't know that any of the music he
does got a lot of Grammys, got a lot of Pulitzers.
Did you know those songs? Like you like Kendrick?

Speaker 6 (19:33):
He left off a few, I like, I don't think
he did swimming Pools or Don't Kill My Vibe going
way back?

Speaker 4 (19:39):
Do you recognize humble? Be humble? And recognize any of humble?
The only one I knew was the they, you know,
the the big song that's been out recently.

Speaker 6 (19:48):
I'm pretty familiar with his catalog, but it was all
about the one song last night. It was all about
not like Us.

Speaker 4 (19:53):
So as I was watching it, I was like, oh,
there's the American flag. Was able to figure that out.
I was like, Samuel L. Jackson, his uncle Sam. That's interesting.
I don't know why that's happening. Then I became convinced
I had seen Serena Williams. Yeah, you know, so that

(20:13):
was an interesting moment. Because I was like, I know
that Serena Williams. But they didn't seem that Shannon. They
didn't seem to act like it was Serena Williams, Like
she was only on the screen for like two or
three seconds. It was it was her. I thought it
was her. What are you talking about, Shannon.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
Are you talking about on the screen? Okay, I thought
you were talking about like the performer.

Speaker 4 (20:34):
No, Serena was dancing on she was part of the performance.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
Well, maybe I guess I'm that then, Okay.

Speaker 4 (20:45):
It Williams. That was the highlight. That was the whole thing,
is that she was. That's classic Shannon making fun and
he's not even right Serena. They she was crip walking
in the in the thing, and I when I saw her,
I was like, that's Serena Williams. But then they cut
off of her and I thought, well, that couldn't have
been her. They would have kept the camera on her longer.

(21:06):
But it was I.

Speaker 5 (21:07):
You know, they always have special guests. I think when
they I thought when they showed her, then the other
guests were gonna start coming out because she was like
the intro.

Speaker 4 (21:15):
But then they only kept the camera on her for
like a second two seconds, So I thought, man, you
bring Serena Williams and then you just like act like
she's barely there. That was kind of weird.

Speaker 6 (21:24):
Just to subtle nod, that was the uh she was
dancing on Drake's grave. So a little background, Drake used
to be obsessed with Serena Williams, like he basically stalked her,
and then Kendrick just.

Speaker 4 (21:34):
Another dig on Drake. Drake love Serena.

Speaker 7 (21:38):
Oh, I didn't know that's that was the That was
the last I think that was the kill shot on
the beef with with Drake was a the super Bowl performance,
after Kendrick said He's gonna do the super Bowl and
then bringing out Drake's crush of.

Speaker 4 (21:51):
Many years to dance on him. So then Kendrick like
does this thing whatever, it's over you get on social media,
it's just people just ah. Basically, if you're over thirty five,
chances are very high you were like I hate this.
If you were under thirty five, it seems like chances
are high you liked it, although there are some people

(22:11):
that didn't. But I feel like we have a version
of this conversation every year Drew, which is like if
you're my age, it's not for you, like they're not
gonna bring generations have to understand the music that's popular
now is never for you. I always say to older people,
you remember how your parents were like Elvis is the devil,

(22:34):
the Rolling Stones are the devil, right, Like that's how
it works. And then when we were young, people are like, oh,
this Snoop Dogg and this and this. I remember my
grandmother telling me turn off Nirvana. They're whining like like,
it's just that's what happens. And now we're the age
where we say, eh, this is hammible, but that's what
it's It's supposed to be for young people. It's not
supposed to be for us.

Speaker 6 (22:55):
That was wildly the most popular song of the year
last year and just won the Grammy. So it's hard
to argue that no one would like that when it's
for us.

Speaker 4 (23:03):
It's not targeted for us. So when I see, like,
you know, the kind of people that yell at me
on Twitter like it's not for you. And guess what,
the super Bowl is never gonna be for you. We're
old now, it's for them. You had Harry Connick everyone, Yeah,
that's well, we get we get Harry Cotton. TJ. Smith,
personal injury attorney called TJ. He'll make them pay.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
No more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.

Speaker 3 (23:28):
Here's Matt Jones.

Speaker 4 (23:29):
I mean it is a good like. I don't care
so much about the beef between him and Drake, although
it does seem like he won because I mean, I
don't want to say poor Drake because he may not
even be a good guy. But like when they're singing
the song about you at the super Bowl, you know
it's got whoa you know, then the crowd spelled out

(23:51):
game over and lights. Yeah, I mean the crowds spelled
out game over. Like if I were Drake, I just
take two or three years and just be like, I
take some time, I'm off, you know, maybe come back
in a couple of years. Maybe people will have moved on,
because like, you don't want you don't want that, do you?

Speaker 6 (24:08):
And everybody, I mean, Lebron was his boy, he's turned
on him, he's been dancing with Kendrick. I mean, everybody
has flipped on Drake.

Speaker 4 (24:14):
Yeah, I mean it seems like it seems like a
pretty bad, a bad thing to do. Okay, so you
all Ryan, You're not a reader, not at all. I'm
a reader. I've read six books already this year. I
have to start my seventh. I've really got I've always
been a reader, but I've really gotten back into It's
a good. Uh, it's a good. Matter of fact, I
just finished a book called Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow,

(24:37):
which I do recommend. I read a book two weeks
ago named Martyr M. A. R. T Wier, highly recommend
to everybody. Great book. Put that to the side. Sometimes
you read a book and like, you read it and
you go wow, blah blah blah blah blah, and you
like it for whatever reason you like. But then you
read like a review of it and you go, oh,

(24:59):
they saw lot of stuff that I didn't see, Like
do you like that though? And somebody something I think
it's interesting. I am not an artist, right, like, so
I don't draw or paint, so like there's a way
artists think, like about symbolism and stuff that I don't
get always, you know what I mean, It's just not

(25:20):
how my brain is workd. So like I see a
painting and I see a man with a whale, and
I go, there's a man in a whale. That's cool,
and then they'll be like, but the whale symbolizes man's eternal,
eternal look for God, and I'm like, oh, I didn't
see any of that. Little saw a man in a whale.

(25:42):
So that happens with books and like TV show Severance
that we like. When you read the reviews of Severance,
they're seeing things I didn't even think of. It gets
me to Kendrick Lamar. When I saw it, I was like, well,
I'm not really into his music, but it was fine whatever,
And then I like get seeing people get angry. But
then I saw somebody this morning who wrote all this,

(26:05):
what all the symbols and all that meant, and I went,
I didn't see any of that, And it makes me
feel stupid to be honest with you, Like I was like,
I know that's the flag, but did you know that,
like he was using the symbols from squid Game? I didn't.
Did you all know that? I didn't catch that one.
I didn't catch that. Did you catch it? Shannon?

Speaker 3 (26:24):
No?

Speaker 4 (26:25):
See, I don't catch any of these things. Like I
feel like when when people start talking about art like
that Drew, that's when I feel stupid. And so from.
Once I read the thing, I was like, man, that
performance had a lot of stuff in it that I
didn't didn't realize.

Speaker 6 (26:39):
And I think even just talking about the Drake stuff
with you all, there was a lot of you know,
in your windows and kind of inside Kendrick stuff to
people to get like that buick is his old buick.

Speaker 4 (26:48):
I mean speaking of that buick. Okay, that buick, I'm
glad you brought up to view. It's a big part
of the show. That's the buick I had. That's Larry's.
This is what amazes me about Larry. Okay. I know
we haven't gotten to the UK game yet, and that's fine.

(27:09):
When I was a kid, I love Larry, but I
thought Larry was the most wonderful man, but kind of dorky. Right.
Larry had two cars, a sixty six Dodge that by
the time I went to college, every rapper had, right,
they would put hydro on it. And when Larry had it,
I was like, look at this car, and then it

(27:29):
became the coolest car in the world. That Buick. That
Buick was always like, that's what old people drive, and
now it's in the super Bowl. That was his buick.
Slash my buick that I still have, not in a
form necessarily that you would would want. But can you

(27:50):
believe that that's an eighty eight buick.

Speaker 5 (27:52):
In the Jack Harlow video now on the super Bowl?
When did that buick become cool?

Speaker 6 (27:58):
All right, Kendrick's been big the buick for a while.
But I remember when Harlow did it. You wondered when
you should sell. I think now is the time to sell.

Speaker 4 (28:05):
In the Super Bowl. By the way, hit that thing
on the market. I'll put the buick on the market.
It was a Jack Harlow video. It was just down
the Super Bowl. Yeah, you're gonna have to come get it,
Come get it. But that ada? Who knew the Ada?
And how did all those people get in the car?
That was pretty cool? No, I'm serious, how did they?
I know they weren't all like literally in the car. Yeah,

(28:28):
but where did they come from?

Speaker 5 (28:29):
It were underneath you know, that platform underneath.

Speaker 4 (28:31):
But you could look like you could see to the
other side.

Speaker 5 (28:36):
It's all on illusion.

Speaker 4 (28:38):
You think it's all on the loose, but they WoT
the people at the game have been able to see
the illusion. I looked online. I didn't see anybody posting
people coming from below, because if you were at the game,
presumably you would have seen it. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (28:51):
I think they probably had some some bumpers or something
that made you thus thought you were looking underneath the car,
but you're really not, like you're seeing a reflection.

Speaker 4 (28:58):
So how do you think they did it?

Speaker 5 (28:59):
Well, they cut out the bottom of the of the
car and they come up some stairs through the stage
into the car out the door.

Speaker 4 (29:05):
But how did we not see them come up?

Speaker 5 (29:07):
Because they've got it like the illusionist in you should
see that. It's uh blocked off, like they've got like
mirrors or something where you think you're looking straight underneath
the car, but you're not.

Speaker 4 (29:17):
Oh you think, I'm like, we think we're looking under
the car, but that's not what we're looking at. What
are we looking at?

Speaker 5 (29:23):
Like it's a mirror you're seeing behind you? You know
you're seeing the reflection.

Speaker 4 (29:26):
Okay, So you think the front of the car is
a mirror that I'm seeing in the other direction.

Speaker 5 (29:32):
The underneath of the car, the car that sits up
like a foot off the ground.

Speaker 4 (29:37):
Okay, And that's a mirror under the car, And I'm
thinking I'm looking under the car, but it's not.

Speaker 5 (29:46):
Yes, Okay, that's what I'm going with, or even.

Speaker 6 (29:48):
Better to help your case for selling it. It's just
a great car for your family. You can put thirty
five people in there.

Speaker 4 (29:53):
Shit, and I want to believe all those people had
to sit in the car. Oh yeah, I want to
I want to believe they were all in there and
they all had to like climb over each other like
it was a clown call, like.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
That Coolio video was it Fantastic Boys where they just.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
Kept the song, yeah the video, or.

Speaker 4 (30:10):
Like I was pulling up to Seattle after the road to.

Speaker 3 (30:11):
Yeah, it might be right though, I think the mirror
thing probably is what it is.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
Well, I'd like if somebody knows exactly that's a good guess.
But if somebody knows exactly what it was. So all
in all, did you enjoy the night? Uh?

Speaker 5 (30:23):
You know the game was kind of a dud. You know,
there are there aren't many Super Bowls that then they
had our blowouts. You know, I was thinking when your
Bears won in eighty five, that's like I was like
a blowout. There aren't many blowouts.

Speaker 4 (30:33):
We were kids, though there were a lot seemed like
there was, but it hasn't been in recent years, there
haven't been a lot. Yeah, I loved it.

Speaker 6 (30:39):
Didn't look away, didn't miss commercial. Even when I went
from my parents' house to my house, I had to
catch it on the phone, so I didn't miss a commercial.
So I was obsessed with it. I wish it had
been a little bit closer. But when it's the last
day of football, I'm I'm gonnat watch as much as
I can.

Speaker 4 (30:53):
Tom Brady he's he I'll tell you it is.

Speaker 5 (30:56):
He got better as the season went on. He you know,
he's not bad. Like Drew pointed out, he was really
struggling there in the second half, trying to find something
to kind of will the chief, Dovie.

Speaker 4 (31:05):
Do you like that? He when they were standing there
and they would show what's the other guy's name, Kevin
burke head Mark Hart Burkhart, that's Kevin Burkhart. We did
you like that? They had Bourbon Street behind them?

Speaker 6 (31:17):
I thought, thanks for bringing that up. That was my
big complaint. Okay, that was just unnecessary.

Speaker 4 (31:21):
Were we supposed to believe they're just staying on this
They just show the booth. I mean, they show the
game behind them like you do it most not on
Bourbon Street. Do they think we're so stupid that we
think they're on Bourbon Street, cause, first of all, who
there was no one there. So if it was on
Bourbon Street, at least have a couple of drunk people
puking on each other if you want me to really
think it's Bourbon Street.

Speaker 6 (31:40):
And they were overdoing it with that. Just put the
camera with the crowd by it. Let's see the action
behind them, like most broadcasts do. That was a little much.
They did too much with the graphics.

Speaker 4 (31:48):
Also, I have one more thing and then we'll move
to UK the next segment. John ham Right, all right,
So John Ham, I like John Ham mad Men is
a great show. He was funny on Third Rock. He's
good when he Saturday Night Live. He's stunningly handsome. Got
nothing against John hamm With that said, he grew up
a Rams fan. Okay, he grew up in Saint Louis.

(32:09):
He's a Cardinals and a Rams fan. He introduced the
Chiefs last night. Now wait a minute, you spent your
whole life a Rams fan. Now his explanation is when
the Rams moved to LA he wasn't gonna cheer for
him anymore. I will know. However, he lives in LA.
But he said, I just decided to pick the other
team from Missouri Kansas City to keep my Missouri connection

(32:34):
challenge flags. You can't do that. You can't do that.
If Kentucky tomorrow were to stop playing basketball, just say
we as an institution are done. We can't go cheer
for Louisville, can't. You can't. I mean you could pick
something else up, but you cannot pick up Louisville, Shannon.
That has to be like, that's against the fan rules.

(32:57):
You can't do that.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
Right, right, Yeah, you gotta stick with your team, especially
if you're living out in LA.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
You gotta stick with with LA.

Speaker 4 (33:03):
Right But if you if they move and you decide
because they move, I'm out. I accept that. But you
cannot pick the other team in the state. Ryan, That's
not acceptable. I think he just pulled that out of
his rear end. I think you just tried to save
a little pr on it by saying that's from Missouri.
So I wap chewing him cheering for mon But if
I was a Chiefs fan, I wouldn't want him introducing this,

(33:26):
Like I don't want a guy who was a fan
of another team until they quit lost. I don't. I mean,
isn't Paul Rudd the Chiefs fan? Bring him out right?

Speaker 2 (33:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (33:35):
I went to the FC Championship in Kansas City and
they had Paul Rudd doing the drum and all the
fun stuff. He's their famous fan and he was there.

Speaker 4 (33:42):
So that's my first knock on John Ham in his
He's like, you don't get to do that. You don't
get to just switch and become a fan of the
other team in the state.

Speaker 6 (33:52):
I grew up a Cowboys fan, but the Titans didn't exist,
and they moved basically into my backyard.

Speaker 4 (33:57):
That's that's that's little they came to you. There's a
lot of people in North Carolina who were Washington fans
and then when the Panthers came, they were like, all right,
now I'm Panthers fans. I'm okay with that. But you
can't a team. If Kentucky were to stop playing sports,
we don't all become Tennessee fans. We don't all become
Louisville fans. You can't do that.

Speaker 6 (34:18):
And do you think Tennessee fans would want us talking
about them coming out for their NIT champions You.

Speaker 4 (34:22):
Imagine I wouldn't be around those people for a million dollars.

(34:46):
take a break Talk UK South Carolina R after this KASR.
Welcome back Tucky Sports Radio, so iz Rock. It's an
eighty seven Buick that is Larry's. Although, as many of
you are pointing out on the text machine, I guess
that Kendrick has is a Buick Grand National, which is rare,
and everybody's like, you don't have that. I'm not saying

(35:07):
we do. I'm just saying if it's eighty seven Buick
and it looks just like that, it may not be
a Grand National, it may be a Mini National or
a Mini Local. I don't know what it is, but
it looks just like that car that was on the
stage yesterday telling to get it on eBay or something immediately. Yeah,
it gonna be hotter than it is, right, this would

(35:28):
be the time.

Speaker 6 (35:28):
What yeah, I mean, it's not driving off that lot,
so someone would have to go pick it off.

Speaker 4 (35:32):
But if you're gonna move it, this is the peak.
This is a good peak time, all right, So let's
talk UK in South Carolina, Kentucky wins by twenty three,
a game they had to win. Yes, right, they had
to win that game. I thought they were one relatively
comfortably right, like, had a six to eight point lead
most of the first half and then extended it right

(35:53):
that started the second half. I think at one point
he got cut to nine, but then they went on
like a fifteen to two run and brought it back.
Had two kill shot runs, which is the new phrase
I've learned this year of ten to zero runs or more,
we had two. Generally speaking, if you have three you
certainly win, and if you have two you win. Most
of the time we did that. A lot of guys
played well, Mariy Brea Garrison with the Big Game, probably

(36:19):
Garrison's best game. But for me, the story Drew is
you see how important it is that butler, because when
you have butler, you can handle pressure. They tried to pressure,
didn't work. Really, and then you can give pressure, you
can actually make it to where it takes them a while.
You just saw how important Butler is with that game.

Speaker 6 (36:36):
Yeah, just further proved what we already knew, especially defensively,
how bad they were missing him. And it wasn't just him,
like the other Kentucky players were more active and more
engaged in getting up in their opponents.

Speaker 4 (36:48):
They have played maybe the best defense of the year
that I've seen him play.

Speaker 6 (36:51):
So I don't know if it's vocal or them just
looking over there and seeing him or what, but it
translated to all the other guys stepping up too. And
even though South Carolina is the last offense in the SEC,
it felt good to see him hold a team to
fifty seven points.

Speaker 4 (37:02):
I don't care who it is. And also I think
it slides the players ryan to their more comfortable roles, right,
So like Robinson can become a primary scorer, Oway can
be a third guy than Brea against maybe the worst
perimeter defender on the other team, which allows him to
get shots off. Like it just everybody's just in a
much more comfortable position when he's in.

Speaker 5 (37:23):
Yeah, they just seem to move better. They just seem
their offense seem to be more efficient. Defense they tightened up. Yeah,
you held a team under sixty points. I think it's
a big reason because Butler was back. You score eighty
and you hold a team under sixty, and I think
he's a big reason.

Speaker 4 (37:35):
Why the defense. I mean, I know South Carolina is
O to nine in conference going into it. Now they're
oh and ten. I know they're not a great offensive team. Nevertheless,
though Drew, it was great to see us hold a
team to fifty seven. I mean, we've been letting bad
offensive team score at least seventy. To hold a team
to fifty seven, I don't care who it is. And

(37:57):
even though they're oher to ten, they're better than oh
and ten. Like I'm not saying they're good, but like
they shouldn't be O and ten. They should have won
a couple games, Like they're they're better than you would
think with that record. Yeah, and they're big. Murray Bowls
is very good. He didn't have a great game.

Speaker 6 (38:15):
Yeah, he led to the SEC and field goal percentage
going in and they held him to like five for fifteen,
so they did a good job guarding him. He still
got fourteenish points, but whatever, didn't have a good night.
It was just overall in a game where you had
Kobe Brea come back to life and a lot of
other fun stuff. Offensively, it's just the the defense gives
us so much more comfort moving forward that they're not
absolutely terrible like they were Tuesday.

Speaker 4 (38:34):
I don all miss and we just had to win.
That was the ultimate thing to me, like we just
we had to win it. However we won it. We
had to win. And now we got Tennessee at home
tomorrow night at Texas Saturday. The way I look at
it is if you could win both those now we're cooking,
but we get but we need to win one, all right.
I want to win them both, but let's definitely win one.
You lose them both. Now we're kinda I don't know.

(38:56):
We're not bad, but we're not where we want to be.
So my view, who is would love to go one
and one. But if we go to and oh watch out.
The biggest surprise for me from the game Saturday is
that Damien Fishback said that Isaiah Briscoe was one of
his favorite players in UK history. He has to be
the only person that I have ever heard drew in
the history of mankind say, one of my favorite UK

(39:21):
basketball players is Isaiah Briscoe. And that's no shame on
Isaiah brisco It's just he was on a team with
Monk Fox and Bam and Derreck Willis, and you would
pick Isaiah Briscoe's just odd. Oh that guy Isah Briscoe.

Speaker 6 (39:32):
But if you give me a pen of paper and
tell me to write down my thirty favorite Kentucky players,
I'm not sure I'm even gonna get to him.

Speaker 4 (39:38):
It was an odd pick to be a favorite. I mean,
think about that team he was on. How many people
in the state do you think have brisco Is one
of their five favorite players on that team? It had
Monk Fox, Bam, Willis, Hawkins, right, Isaac Humphreys, who a
lot of people really liked. I just that was one

(40:02):
of the all time hit. Literally, for like five minutes,
I stopped paying attention to the game, thinking, how does
somebody end up with Isaiah Briscoe was one of their
favorite UK players of all time? Really?

Speaker 6 (40:12):
I remember Isaiah Briscoe for being a guard that shot
forty six percent.

Speaker 4 (40:15):
From the free throw a lot. Not exactly a fun movie.
Were you surprised by that?

Speaker 5 (40:20):
I heard him say that too, kind of shook me
for a minute. And Fishback is from Bowling Green, so
he knows a lot of the news.

Speaker 4 (40:25):
I forgot about that. So he looked at all those
Kentucky players. He was like Rex mash Tayshawan, who wal Davis?
Give me a little that brisco Like, I just I
just didn't see it. But shout out to Isaiah Briscoe
for that being the case.

Speaker 6 (40:43):
So like he opened a bodega New Jersey, maybe a
Fishback goes there when he's up in New York. Visit
mean he opened a bodegon in New Jersey. Yeah, I'm
a bachelor party. We tried to go go give Briscoe
some of our business were in New Jersey.

Speaker 4 (40:54):
I don't know. I looked it up at the time.
I couldn't tell you exactly where. See. I love the
UK guys that have weird post careers. Isaiah brisco having
a bodega in New Jersey's up there. It's not Shigari
a lean doing salsa dancing for a living, which I
don't think anything will ever top, but it's up there.

Speaker 3 (41:12):
Being a farmer was pretty shocking.

Speaker 4 (41:13):
Romel being a farmer was weird. That's true. I don't
think I when I when I met Ramel from Brooklyn,
I don't think I thought that man's gonna create try
to grow vegetables. And Pike Bull I didn't see that
on his being go card, but he did.

Speaker 6 (41:27):
It's the La Placita Bodega. Where is it in his hometown?
I guess is that Newark?

Speaker 4 (41:33):
Will you know the NCAA tournament, the East Regional was
in Newark. It's a remote. We have to do a
show at Placita Bodega, and we should invite Damien Fishback
and regulars up there and come down. You know, that
might be a show that would lead to my retirement.

(41:54):
We we take Damien Fishback, we go to La Placita Bodega,
do our show and invite Shigary Alean for assaut fands,
like if all those things were going to happen, and
then win the regional we had did we win the
regional and we go you know what, don't get any
better than that. I think that's it. It's allowed.

Speaker 6 (42:11):
That would be a good way to end the rack
in the Metal Lands of Pope. I mean, it'd be
full circle for everyone.

Speaker 4 (42:16):
I don't think they have the metal Lands anymore. But
whatever that arena is in Newark, alright, eight five, twenty
two eighty seven. We're not opening the phone jet. I
want to talk more about the game in Tennessee coming up.
This is KSR.
