(01:21):
you here on a beautiful Tuesday. Guys. It is uh
a little Chillian here. It is air conditioning up today
a little bit. We may have to fix that, but
you know, big day today, it's Derby Week. But most importantly,
last night I went to Cincinnati saw my Reds beat
(01:42):
your car. The summer of Ellie is is kicking in
five straight wins for the Reds. Here's a little stat
for you to the last twelve seasons. Do you know
how many times the Reds have won six straight games?
Once twice in twelve years? Wow, twice in twelve years.
So this could be number three? Uh to that tonight
(02:05):
if they win. It was a It's beautiful. I got
my elly switch hitting bobblehead. You did, oh nice? Yeah?
So I missed the switch hitting bobblehead game. I was
in the Netherlands. It's a bobblehead and I don't really
know what makes it switch hitting. I think it's just Shannon.
You can flip it around and it looks like he's
hitting left handed.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
I just put the bat in the other hand.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
No, well, the bat goes in one place. They've just
designed it wherever it doesn't. I don't really know. It
looks to me like when he hits left handed, he
would not be being successful. But it is. It's like
a visual thing. It's a switch hitting babble I gotta
see this I have So I now have two. Uh,
I now have two bobbleheads and ready to go.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Well, yeah, last year Billy lerisk his life to get
that bubble like.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
One of the last ones. Yes, So this year I
called first and asked them to save me one and
they did well. I mean, I'm a season ticket holder,
so I'll do that. If you know in advance, you
know they're having Pete Rose jersey. Yes, I heard that fourteenth.
I think I'm gonna sell that ticket because it's a
you know, it's it'll be sold out for the Pete Rose.
(03:08):
Everybody's gonna want a Pete Rose jersey. And I don't
really care because I wasn't. I mean, that was before
I was a fan, So I think I might sell those.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
That's a heck of a promotion. Everybody comes because they're
replica of Pete Rose Red's jersey and every one of
Pete Rose. That's a heck of a promotion.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
That's gotta be an expensive gift, Drew.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Yeah, how do they afford all this? Is it your
season ticket money?
Speaker 5 (03:27):
Ellie?
Speaker 6 (03:27):
That's a nice promotion.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
We're only paying Elle eight hundred thousand dollars and he's
I have to tell you right now. Of course I
say this now, and I'll hate the team in a week,
but right now I kind of love them. They're sixteen
and thirteen. They've got obviously Ellie, yes, but they got
new guys who were good, Austin Hayes and Gavin Lux.
You know, some of the dudes I like haven't even
(03:49):
played well, like Matt mcclean's hitting like one fifty, Spencer
Steers hitting like one eighty. And yet they're still good
because our pitchers they've been grooving it.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Well, I told you started. My dad's you know, the
biggest Cardinal fan I know. He's so upset last night.
He called me three times and then the last time
was like Red's gonna sweep him. Red's gonna sweep the
Cardinals this week.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Well, here's the thing. They had a big inning where
they should have gotten more runs and they didn't. That's
probably what madjor Dad they got. We walked like the
first two batters, it was first and second, nobody out.
He hits a little chopper and the catcher makes a
great play, throws him out at third. Next uh, next pitch,
double play and we get out of the inning. And
that probably made your dad. Man.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Was a good crowd last night was a nice sight.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
There was not a good crowd. I'm kind of shocked.
Perfect weather, Yes, beautiful day playing the Cardinals, but there
was nobody there. Well they didn't give the Bible heads
last night, but there was there was nobody there. I
was kind of surprised.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
Yeah, I mean, this is the summer, Eli, you think
they'd be fired. We're a game back in the NL Central,
whatever the NL is.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
And I tell you what Uncle Matt did for one
of our fine listeners. Let's hear it they are. Why
do you look so skeptical when I said that? Man,
I mean you look like, what did you think? So
what did you think? I was gonna say? Okay, there
were these two kids, college kids, sitting in front of me.
They one of them looks back and goes, are you
(05:10):
Matt Jones? His dad runs the Mister Daddies in Campbellsville
and we are, oh nice? And he told me the
story that these two guys, one of them lives in Campbellsville,
the other one goes to UK, and they like, they
don't get to hang out with each other very much.
So they were going to the game this week and
they said they both had kind of free weeks and
they were glad to catch up. Well, Thursday is a
(05:32):
day game and I can't go, and so I just said, well,
would you all like to hang out again Thursday?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Let's gave him the I gave him my nice Very
nice of you to do that.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
So it was it because they didn't ask. You see
what I'm saying. They didn't ask, because when people ask,
that's not happen. Do you know what somebody wrote me
the other day?
Speaker 6 (05:52):
Tell me about it.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
This is a literally somebody wrote me. This was like
two weeks ago. Hey, Matt, I normally never do this,
but that's how all the sentences. Sure, they all they
all start. I normally never do this, but and I like,
my answer is almost always gonna be no. But sometimes
(06:15):
I at least understand. They'll be like, it's my dad's
birthday or my sister Bob mitzvah or something. You know,
there's there's something, there's something happening. This guy goes, I've
always been a big Red Sox fan. First of all,
not reds Red Sox. The Red Sox are coming to town.
(06:40):
Would you give me the tickets or I'm glad to
pay face value?
Speaker 6 (06:48):
No, they're they're negotiating.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
Well. First of all, thank you for your generosity at
being willing to pay face value for what are probably
going to be the most expensive tickets of the year.
Thank you. I appreciate you offering to pay face value.
But I just I thought, I mean, like, really, you're
really gonna ask somebody to give you tickets for what
(07:11):
is I mean, the Red Sox. Those tickets will go
for four hundred bucks apeece.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah, you can get a good chunk of chain for
your seats for the Red Sox series and for the
guy that had the kahons ask you, I I'm the opposing.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Fan scene fan. That's like writing me in saying, hey,
lifetime Arkansas fan, they're coming to Rupperna, will you give
me the ticket? Crew. I just it's amazing to me
that somebody can do that.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
I would have at least lied instead. I'm a Reds fan.
I mean, you're asking to wear the opposing team's gear
in your seats that they can be seen on TV.
You'd be contributing to the wrong team.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Yes, I took a book last night, but here's how
good the Reds are this year. I didn't read the book,
and this is how exciting they are this year. No book,
I took it in, didn't even open it at any point.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
If they were bad, what book would that be that
you would have been reading lesson?
Speaker 5 (08:02):
It's a book. I'm reading that. I'm it's a really
good book, but I'm not recommending to the general audience,
because I know if you all read it, like I
don't want, you're associating it with vermut No, it's not
very smart. No, it was one of the New York
Times Top ten books of the year. It's called All fours.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
This is taking a turn.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
I actually don't want to know anymore.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Stop right there. Yeah, I'm just saying to you it's
it's very good. I can see why it was named that,
But I don't want when you read it. I don't
want you thinking, well, this was a Matt Jones recommendation TV.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
So reading all fours thought, I.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
Thought about that. Okay, I thought about it. If I'm
reading this book, the name cannot be showy. Yeah, you
went viral when I read it.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
Can I read what it's about?
Speaker 5 (08:57):
You cannot? People can look at me. You can look
it up on their own if they won nine two
twenty two eighty seven. We're gonna take your call today.
We did not do it yesterday. As I said, it's
Derby Week, Derby week, not just Red's week. It's Derby
by the way, little suggestion the rems, why are you
always at home during Derby Week? Like why do they
(09:18):
every year they have home?
Speaker 7 (09:19):
Like?
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Why not have like that? I feel like that's under
their attendance. I would think, like why not be on
the road during Derby Week? Anyway, you got mad because
last night it went viral again the video of you
getting thrown on your back in the mud at the Derby.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
This was what year nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
People who haven't seen the video, A college kid just
picks rying up, he's in a suit and throws him
in the mud hard. Yes, and it hurt your back.
We did. And it's now been almost thirty years and
it still makes you mad to this day, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Look that was my very first Kentucky, a member of
the media with Channel eighteen. I bought new shirt, new pants,
new a new suit.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
He has them all.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I was style and I had been there for maybe
maybe thirty minutes, and I am upside down in a
puddle of water and it stunk.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
You know.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
It was that old rain water, been sitting there for
a couple of days. It's stunk and I'm just covered
in it. And I had to spend the rest This
was early in the day. I had to spend the
rest of the day like that, so find somebody who
felt sorry for me. He had a pair of jeans
and an oversized T shirt that I wore. The rest
of it had to do the live shot and jeans
and a T shirt he gave you.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
He had brought spare clothes.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Yeah, punk punk, because he wasn't He's spending the night.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
If they're gonna have to spend the rest of the
day in the month.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Yeah, yeah, and I did for several hours.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
And I think, if I remember the story, the kid
just ran off and never got caught, disappeared.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Have you disappeared?
Speaker 5 (10:49):
It was on television. Have you ever figured out who
it was?
Speaker 7 (10:52):
No?
Speaker 2 (10:53):
We even frozen where you can see his face looking
right at the camera and said, you know this guy
owes me for dry cleaning and a chiropractor Bill never hurt,
never got no nobody.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Wait, you put it on the air.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Yeah, yeah, you put his face on the air, but
this was in Lexington put it on the air. Of course,
that kid's probably from who knows where, So that kid
is probably like fifty years old probably. Yeah, So what
would you think about, like should we find him?
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Now? I would love that. I would just like to
find out who it was.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
I have like facial recognition technology now, so.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Here's what I would say. First of all, Drew, will
you put out the video? Yeah? All right, So Drew's
gonna put out the video on his Twitter account. If
anyone knows who this person is, I don't want this
person to be punished. But thirty years later, it feels
like they should come and apology.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
I agree, yes, because it hurt your back, right, My
back was messed up for a couple of years after
that hurts your back. Yes, it was muddy, It was
stinky mud.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Now he's probably just a kid that was having fun.
Probably think about it. But maybe now, as a grown
up at fifty, he could apologize to you, and I
think then maybe you could get some closure and laugh
about it, feel some remorse.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
I remember after I got up, I went straight to
a police officer and you're gonna help me with this,
He goes, Dude, where'd he go? You know they didn't.
They didn't the police officers. Two police officers standing right there,
watch the whole thing.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
All right. So so Drew will put this out Shannon.
We'll let the masses decide if they think they know
in this entire state. I mean, remember when the Luigi
guy killed the insurance guy. They found him in a
McDonald's in Altona.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
So I feel like we can we could, we can
do this thirty years later. The dude may look a
lot different. He's a big muscular guy in the video.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
But I'm saying, but like there might be somebody who
remembers Drew what he looked like then.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
Yeah, yeah, you know, I watched a lot of Dateline.
There's several way new technology true. Also, sometimes just over time,
criminals think, you know what, I've been living with this
for twenty five years.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Thinks will we find him? When we find they need
to let me pick him up and throw him in
a mud.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
PUB think he probably could forget.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
I think that's first of all, if you couldn't do that. Secondly,
he's fifty years old now probably, so it might hurt
him if you threw him in the mud.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
It hurt me when he threw me in the mud.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
So I hope you get over that because it still
seems to really bother well, because like I said, I
was so excited my first derby, and I spend all
day in a muddy, stinky, wet clothes.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
It was awful, awful.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
A five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven.
Uh we did. We touched on this yesterday. The Kentucky
players were all in town, and I want to ask
you a question about the roster because we have Uh, well,
there's a couple things we'll do that when we return.
Drew just put out the video. See if we could
find this man that thirty years ago broke Ryan's herd.
We'll take a break of you right back. It's ks
(13:37):
har Wa. I'm back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio text
machine seven seven two seven four five two five four
one person rides mad. I saw you at the game
last night, saw you carrying a book. I actually wasn't
sitting far from you and wanted you to read so
I could take a picture and make fun of you.
But I didn't see you pull it out the whole time.
(13:59):
It's exactly right. I didn't because the game was so good.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
He went fast to two hours.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
DS are fun. They had uh you know, they got
all these You got all these young guys. The only
dude they're paying a lot of money to stinks, which
is Candelario. He doesn't even get in the game. He stinks.
But the rest of the team is is fun.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
I thought a big come back to the Cardinals tonight.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
I think they we're not gonna sweep them. I think
we probably lose tonight. I mean we had we only
won six straight twice in twelve years. I don't expect
it to happen tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
Last time you said this, I bet on the Reds
because I something about your lack of confidence. I think
they're gonna win again. I'm gonna do it again. You
gotta show faith in your team. I'd love for that
to uh uh, that to happen.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
One person writes Matt, I read the description of the
book you said you read on my work computer, and
now you're gonna get me in trouble boy.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Really huh yeah?
Speaker 5 (14:48):
I mean again, I want to be clear, this is
not my I'm not telling you folks to read this book.
Don't point at me like that. I didn't. If you
read it, it's on your own. It's it's with a warning. Okay.
So the players were we're all we're all here this weekend,
and I was looking at the ross. We have twelve guys.
Question one, do you think we go get a thirteenth guy?
(15:08):
I still haven't gotten the call that Mark Pope is
ready to come on the show, which tells me the
roster's not finished, which tells me I think we're gonna
get a thirteenth person. But do you think we're gonna
get one? I think they could.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
Yeah, I'll say they either had a high school or
another international player. I think they're done with the portal.
I believe they've even said that, But maybe you add
someone that's more of a project for all down the road.
I don't think they need one, but I still think
they will look to add one.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
See obviously, and more towards European player. Also somebody that
can bring in kind of work with this year, it's
kind of like a red shirt year almost and then
getting ready for maybe down the road.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
Why European though, if it's gonna be a red shirt,
wouldn't a European be a guy like you have come
play immediately?
Speaker 8 (15:45):
Like?
Speaker 5 (15:45):
Why is he gonna come from Europe to not try?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
If he's like a maybe like a seven footer that's
really needs to be some beefed up and need to
get stronger and need to learn how to play American basketball,
I would be my guess.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
Okay, I assume they will use somebody. I think I
would have heard if they like, because I think there's
a good chance we'll have Pope in the couple weeks
after that after the derby, So I would assume they
get somebody else. All right, do you think we have
a final four roster? I see, I see a lot
(16:16):
of our fans seemingly assume the answer to that question
is yes. And then some of the rankings don't even
have us in the top ten, like Jeff Borzello doesn't
have us in the top ten. John Rothstein doesn't have
us in the top ten. But then there are people
like the field to sixty eight have us number three.
So that's you don't usually see that wide discrepancy in
(16:38):
how people see the team. Which one do you think
is closer top three, not in the top ten.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
I lean final four potential because I think they'll be
in the conversation for a one seed at the end
of the year. I think the SEC will be down,
definitely could be down. A big part of the tournament
last years we saw is retaining players, and I mean,
you're gonna have a way back, Garrison back, Chandler back.
You know, we know the list. And then I really
like the pieces they added to fix the flaws last
year defensively, so if they stay healthy, I think there'll
(17:07):
be a top two seed in the tournament.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
What about the argument, Hey, clearly we're better defensively, Clearly
we're tougher, but we gave up a lot of shooting
and last year kind of our strength was shooting, and
we gave up a lot of that. We have a
lot of shooters that might be good, but we probably
don't have any you know, we came in last year,
know when Kobe Brayer was a great shooter. We knew
Jackson Robinson was a great shooter. We knew Andrew Carr
(17:31):
was a pretty good shooter. I don't know that we
have anybody that you would say, Okay, well that's definitely
a great shooter.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
That's my concern right there. That's why I's getting ready
to say that there's just not that guy that when
we need hit two or three threes in a game.
Unless Alway can figure it out this summer, figure his
shot out. I don't think it's the missing piece. I
think I wish you'd got a knockdown shooter.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
But we also, though have four guys who can go
get you a bucket, which we didn't really have last year.
I think you Jalen Low can go get you a basket.
I think you know Aberdeen Aberdeen could go get you
a basket. I think you could Otaga can go get
you a basket. So I mean I do think you
have that. Does that make it better for you? Yeah,
I mean they're gonna be really, really good. And then
if you're asking me to pick top three or out
(18:13):
of the top ten, I'm probably picking in the middle.
Like seventeen, those weren't the two choice.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yeah, that's what I'm going to choices where well those.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
Were not the two choice. Obviously picking in the middle
would be the easy choice. The question is if you
if I said to you they were either top three
or like eleventh.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
I guess I would probably take tough three because I
do think Otago will make a jump. I think Brandon
Garrison is gonna make a jump. I think Colin Channer
of those three guys we talked about, they're gonna make
a jump this season.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
And you do have drew nine or ten guys that
can make a three, right, So just think about rather
than not down, just think about guys who could make
a three. Okay Low can make a three, Oway Aberdeen, Chandler,
Noah Garrison, Jasper Johnson. Yeah. I mean, so I've just
(19:00):
given you eight guys that and then the Croatian kid.
I've just given you nine guys that you know, if
you leave open, can make it. And you know, maybe
even you know, maybe there's even more. But those those
are the ones. Did I say Cam Williams that's ten.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
Yeah, I'm just gonna say, let's Cam Williams and Jasper
Johnson to the ones.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
That shoot threes. I don't he had.
Speaker 6 (19:21):
I mean, I don't know that you're gonna rely. He's
not gonna be like Almanor, but he's his money when
he steps out.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
But he made a few.
Speaker 6 (19:25):
Obama, I'm not as worried. Not everyone's gonna take a
big jump, but I think like a lower an Aberdeen,
you could see their shooting percentage go up. And also
last year they d not finishing top twenty five. You
finished the year without Jackson Robinson, who's one of your
best shooters. So outside of Kobe Brea, I mean Kentucky's team,
they I think they shot at thirty seven percent or
something like that for the year. It wasn't like a
(19:45):
lights out shooting. As this season winded down there they
even had to play a little defense.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
And you didn't have Jackson Robinson at the end. That
was I still made the Sweet sixteen. Who do you
think is the because I think there's a definitive answer
to this, but who do you think is the player?
That this dude better be good for us to be good.
Do you have one Otega? Okay you're Otaga? Yeah, all right,
what bet you?
Speaker 6 (20:10):
I'm already counting Otega is good, Eileen Lowe or even
Brandon Garrison. I'm gonna say Brandon Garrison just in case
the acquaintance is a slow build.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
You know, Marino is still young.
Speaker 6 (20:20):
I think if he's gonna be the starter in the
in the five, uh, he needs to make a big
jump to get closer to what is what Amaro was
last year.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
For me, we either make it or don't on Jaalen
low like to me, we've put a lot on that kid.
He's our point guard. He's gonna be our primary, like
you know, offense starter. I think he's gotta be good.
I think he is good, but like you watch how
(20:49):
he plays. He is a high volume player. I think
that you call in the NBA a high usage player,
which means the ball is in his hands a lot.
I think he's gotta be good. I think he will,
but like he's the one that we got it and keep.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Your finger cross theyn get help stay healthy at that
point in our position, not have another season we had
last good thing is they do.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Have Aberdeen sitting there? Who could? Who could? Who could?
Back up? Then O Taga did it a little bit Chadler.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
I've seen some people saying Chandler can't do it. You
gotta remember last year he didn't even practice as the point.
He was like the sixth option all summer, all fall,
and then even Perry, I mean he's he's uh, you
know you had Kerr and Lamont all summer. They practice
to be in that role. I think if Chandler goes
in the summer knowing he's gonna have to do some
ball handling, he can make a jump there too if needed.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
If I'm eighty seven, who's first? Oh the lines are open?
All right? Come on, folks, I'm ready to take calls.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
And Shannon, Shannon probably nuked the lines.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
Chance, did you nuke the line?
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Nuked the lines?
Speaker 5 (21:49):
You nuked the lines? Because sorry, there's a few, but
I want to talk to you if I'm nine to
two eight oh, uh, twenty two eighty seven, one more person?
Do you think the Croatian kid is playing ten minutes,
fifteen minutes, twenty minutes, twenty five minutes.
Speaker 6 (22:05):
He's the one that's confusing because I think dia Bote
is gonna play a lot of minutes. You can maybe
even play a quaintance at the four a little bit
when he gets healthy. So it's a matter of finding
him time. But I think he's very capable. I think
I'll say he plays fifteen. By the way, you just
hope we've been to play a deep roster very similar.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
But did you see the Stoyakovic kids going to Illinois.
I mean they literally are just taking the Croatian national
team and may they have both of Visa brothers and Stoyakovic.
I mean they're they basically are taking, you know, a
national team on their run, our Croatian yellow bitch. He
has a teammate that's now looking to go to college
and heck, Illinois might call him to maybe we'll call him.
(22:41):
Maybe he's a shooter. Well we'll just become team college
beta man.
Speaker 6 (22:45):
But I would watch Illinois because they're collecting them.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Yeah, Illinois's gonna be really good next year with those
three guys.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
They can't beat us Oho twenty two to eighty seven.
By the way, they've got a whistler at these Reds
games again.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Oh no, oh, those people should be banned attained by
law enforcement.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
We'll be right back. TJ. Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ.
He'll make them pay now.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
More of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
Here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
Welcome back Turkey Sports Radio. If I'm nine, two eight
oh twenty two eighty seven. Here's what's crazy. The guy
asked me for the Boston tickets. We play them in
Boston this year. So see asking me two years in advance.
Maybe the Yankees come here this year.
Speaker 6 (23:34):
Maybe you thought when you were a season ticket holder,
you get away tickets too.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
That would be good.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Actually, that seats behind home Playton Finway. Hey, I'll take those.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
Seven seven two seven seven four five two five four.
By the way, Diabat shot forty six percent from three
last year. That alemn That surprised me.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
I didn't know he was that good of a shooter.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
Must take it, must not take ten many.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
I looked it up though. His freshman year he shot
nine percent, then he jumped to forty six. I mean,
we're looking at maybe potential le season next year.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
You're saying he'll jump that again and then he'll shoot
eighty three.
Speaker 6 (24:06):
I'm just looking at what he's done in the past, projecting.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
The next year he'll make more than he takes. That's
a big jump, big jump. Let's see, we got folks on,
so let's just start. I've got a couple of other things,
but I'll wait. Who's up first, Estal? How are you? Estel?
Speaker 8 (24:26):
I'm fine?
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Are you good?
Speaker 8 (24:30):
I'll talked to you before. And I really don't like
all this fouling. You know, put people on the line
hoping they'll miss the pretro, and it drags out the
last two minutes a lot. And now they've gone to
checking the clock, checking the time. You know, see if
you've also the Lafet couple of minutes was really dragging
(24:51):
it out.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Yes, especially college basketball, it takes for effort.
Speaker 8 (24:56):
Okay, here's here's something. And I would lie to them
to consider. Of course they won't, those committee won't. But
we could go to eighty five, do away with all
the time and most of the time, and let's just
go to eighty five. Look up last three years and
see what was the average winning scorer. I mean, what
(25:19):
would it be around eighty five?
Speaker 5 (25:21):
Yeah, so you're talking about they have this thing now
what it's called the elam ending, which is basically they
play a game and then like with I don't know
what it is, four or five minutes to go, then
they'll go all right, fifteen points from here. I agree
with you, sir, I think it'd be better. But I
think the bigger issue for college basketball. I appreciate the
(25:43):
call is they've got to find a way to limit
the reviews in college basketball. They went, I mean, there's
just too many. It needs to be like the NBA.
You get a challenge, right, you get so many challenges
a game. You got like two challenges a game, and
if you use them early, that's on you, like that's
what you know, and then you only I think in
the NBA they only review like in the last minute,
and they don't even review fouls like they'll only review
(26:06):
clock in the last minute. We've got to do that
because college basketball in the last few years, the rafts
go to the monitor on every play and there's no
reason for that.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
Oh, I've got a million tweets from Roperino where it's
just a photo. I always say, Doug at the monitor.
Here he goes again. And if you're a team that
plays with tempo and it's late in the game, that
can absolutely kill you. If they're just constantly reviewing every
little thing, it just makes the game come to a crawl.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
You know, it may never happen, but I do like
the elam ending because there's like, there's a game winning
bucket every single game. You can celebrate that one that
gets you to fifteen.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
It's true, you do get the excitement of the team
winning bucket regards every single game.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
Yeah, it made the basket of the TBT a lot
of fun. I mean, Brendan Canada hit a game winner. Yeah,
free throw. When is the tvt boy though, July. It's
in July and it's at Memorial, right, Historic Memorial. That's
gonna be got some big commitments. I've heard of teasers
of future commitments. I think they're gonna have an another
good roster here.
Speaker 5 (26:59):
Yeah. I they've got to do something about the reviews
the NCAA tournament, and some of them are just brutal.
Those that last couple of minutes. It just goes and
goes and goes and goes, and it's really annoyed.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
You know, an out of bounds play or a clock
violation or whatever. Man, but out of.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
Bounds take it needs to be close they're to the
point they review every every play. They just review it
for the sake of reviewing it, and it needs make
them have a challenge so that the coach has to do.
Like in baseball, you get one review right and they'll
you'll look and they'll quickly Terry Francona, I watch him
in the dugout. He quickly looks to see the to
(27:41):
have somebody look, and then they'll just look at the
umpire and go, you're good.
Speaker 6 (27:44):
And it's it's it's a fast pace in college basketball.
It's like they've gotten where they'll rely on it and
they'll make the call, knowing that allows them to go
to the monitor. They're like, well, instead of me putting
my neck out there and making a decision here, I
just know we can all walk to the monitors.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
They call the foul. So this is what happened in
that NBA game the other night. If they call the foul,
then they're allowed to go to the monitor, But if
they don't call the foul, then they're not, which gives
them an incentive to call, which is the last thing
you want at the end of a game, is the
incentive to call a foul.
Speaker 6 (28:15):
They're just relying on it way too much because they
know they can go to it for several things. There's
no limit to it, Uh, even though there might be
some miscalls we complain about. They got to go back
to just bang bang, make your decision and then just
a few challenges there.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
By the way, with goldtending like they're allowed to do
it if they call it, just takes them more likely
to call it, which is not what you want. Who's next, Joe, Joe,
Go ahead, Joe.
Speaker 7 (28:39):
Thank you, gentlemen, Matt. As we wait for coach both
to make his final decision on his roster, we also
are looking forward to UH Coach Brooks and our girls team. Matt,
is there a question of money on Coach Brooks? Is
he does wait for next year to get more money
so he can recruit a lot more play?
Speaker 5 (28:58):
Yeah, so I've heard. Well, you know, they had that
one girl this year who was supposed to be their
second best player who tore ACL to start the season. Right,
what was her name?
Speaker 2 (29:08):
I can't remember.
Speaker 5 (29:09):
Oh, so she's gonna she's I think, supposed to be
our best player this year. And then they had a
lot of young, younger people. I don't know if they're
gonna add one or two more players. But I I've
heard that the Nile situation for women's basketball is good good,
So I don't think that the issue Drew is money.
(29:30):
If they if they don't have the.
Speaker 6 (29:31):
Players, I think they're gonna have a good team with
what they have returning. And then, uh, I mean, you
can't replace Georgia Amore. But they went and got the
Tony Morgan point guard, who was all acc I don't
know if anyone's gonna be what Georgia was, but it
seemed like they did as best they could in the
portal to fill that spot.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
But then you have Key and.
Speaker 6 (29:46):
Strak and all the all the bigs they're back.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
Have you noticed all the national coverage Kentucky's been getting
for the way they set up that athletics department all
they have, Oh, they've got a ton of it. A
lot of national people going, wait a minute, is this
the future? The future? And who would have ever thought
Mitch Barnhardt, who has been seen not just by the
fans but by me as being like behind the times
(30:10):
on this stuff, that they would be the one that
would create the future of how these things will be done.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Yeah, he's always been kind of a guy, like, you know,
like an alcohol sales le. Let's wait and see how
it works out of other schools in al thing, Let's
wait till he goes to other schools. Now he's being proactive.
He's the leader in this.
Speaker 6 (30:25):
Do you think he just hates the current climate so
much He's like, I gotta do something, I gotta step
up because he was to get into it.
Speaker 5 (30:32):
I want to give him his due, which is he
takes a view and this is something that I've heard
him say many times. He takes a view that he
really wants to leave things better than they were when
he got them. And I think he takes to you
he knows the end of his career is coming, and
I think he knows what happens in the next year
(30:52):
or two is going to set up the next twenty
and he doesn't want to leave a new ad with
a disaster of a situation trying to figure out how
you reorganize an athletic department. So I think that's why
he's doing it.
Speaker 6 (31:04):
To be honest, didn't he and Cal say about Wasn't
that a big part of their little sit down was
leaving things better than they found it.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
Cal left four days later.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
Well half of them are falling through with that.
Speaker 5 (31:13):
But I will say he did leave it better than
at the time of that interview, which is things were
better after he left than they were during that interview.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
See, he followed up on his promise, and you know,
to be fair to Col, the.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
Program was in a better place than it was when
he got here. Oh, no doubt when he got here. No,
I mean, to be fair to Col. That's a good
question about coaches. Who's done that? I mean, Rick did it. Tubby,
I guess it was a little worse.
Speaker 6 (31:45):
He picked it up at the peak, though.
Speaker 5 (31:49):
Billy made it much worse. Cal made it better. He did,
and we'll see what happens with Pope, and then in
football Joker made it worse. Brooks picked it up. Rich
Brooks made it much better. I think, no matter what
happens with Mark Stoops, you're gonna have to say he
leaves it better than it was, thank you. So I
think that's that is not a bad way to measure success.
(32:10):
A little hard for Tubby because Tubby got it at
the absolute pete.
Speaker 6 (32:13):
With Cal, it could have gone very wrong in that
hire after the way Billy took it straight down in
the tank, but he picked it up quickly, so yeah,
it can't be lost on us.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
That's why when we think I think about the Cali,
I think, over time, I'm gonna kind of forget about
these last three or four years and remember those first
seven or eight years.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
It's interesting we're a year away from him leaving and
already people talk about cal significantly less. Huh. I think
we had to get through it one year.
Speaker 6 (32:38):
We had to get through that game.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
We had to get through that game, We had to
get through the tournament. We needed him to lose in
the sweet sixteen, same round as us, And I think
it's gonna be much much, much less of a story
next year.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
We need a beat him though. We gotta beat him.
We're gonna beat him. I want to. I want to
beat him at Arkansas.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
Now, have we found out who the guy is yet
that threw you on the ground.

somebody has given us a potential nex. We have a lead.
(34:18):
We have a lead on the throwing RND in the bud. Yeah.
Can you think I could say the first name? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (34:25):
First name is generic, man, it could be anybody.
Speaker 6 (34:28):
It's kind of common.
Speaker 5 (34:29):
So the lead, he's a guy named Chuck, Chuck Chucking.
So if you know, if you know a Chuck, he's
on our list of suspects. Now, I don't know a
lot of Chucks. We were just saying, like, when's last
time you know it? Chuck? You mentioned Chuck Hayes. I'm
gonna eliminade him. I saw the video clear. It's not
(34:52):
perfectly clear, but clear enough to cross him off our list.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Chuck not block, Chuck Charles Barkley. They call him Chuck.
Speaker 5 (34:58):
Yeah, but he goes by Charles mostly. Chuck no block.
I think I can eliminate him. I have a last name, Chuck.
His second. He could have done it, but I don't
think he did it. Well.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Maybe it was the way he kind of spun me
around and he whipped me up and threw me down.
Speaker 5 (35:13):
I have the last name, but I'm not saying it
because I don't want to. I don't want to. But
but if you know what, Chuck, maybe that's maybe that's uh,
Chuck Grassley, the senator for Iowa. He's ninety years old.
Speaker 6 (35:25):
This was thirty years ago.
Speaker 5 (35:26):
Sixty man.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
He had on man's strength even back then.
Speaker 5 (35:29):
Wow, look at you knowing Chuck Grassley.
Speaker 6 (35:31):
How do you know that's a big I'm a big
politics guy.
Speaker 5 (35:33):
Really.
Speaker 6 (35:34):
I would not have sit around just watching Fox News
scene and I bounced back and forth. I would not
have had YouTube TV multiview on all the political chanting. Okay,
seven four five two five four, we'll go to the
phone in a second.
Speaker 5 (35:45):
By the way, Diabat shot twenty six threes for Alabama
last year May twelve. It's pretty good. I like he's
checking out there. Uh hey, notes, I would have told
him to shoot a few more.
Speaker 6 (35:57):
And Aberdeen, even though his uh season percentage inn when
Walter Clayton got hurt, he started five games and he
shot forty five percent from three. So they just need
an opportunity.
Speaker 5 (36:06):
Let's start for a second about the Falcons. The Falcons
defensive coordinator's kid, so Shador Sanders, got prank called during
the draft and they said, hey, congrat you've been drafted
and then it turns out it was a prank call
for reasons that I will never understand. The two kids
that did it videoed themselves and put it online. Why
(36:28):
in the world would you do that?
Speaker 6 (36:29):
We're going to shirve of the school they go to Maryland.
Speaker 5 (36:31):
Yeah, like, in case you don't know who this is,
we have an old Miss shirt on. Of course it's
two old Miss students. What turns out even worse, one
of the kids, not the one calling, but the one
sitting next to him, was the Falcons defensive coordinator's son.
So he got the number from the Falcons defensive coordinator.
(36:53):
Now the Falcons release a statement that said his dad
left out the iPad and the kid got the number
from the iPad. Question one, do you believe that story?
Speaker 8 (37:07):
No?
Speaker 5 (37:08):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
I think the kid purposely got into the iPad specifically
looking for Shandur Sanders number.
Speaker 5 (37:14):
Right, All right, yes, do believe.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
No, I don't think he left it open. I'm saying
he left left and just left it on the table.
Speaker 5 (37:22):
I think. I don't think the argument is he left
it on the table the kid tripped and saw she
door Sanders number. I think the argument is, did the
dad have anything to do with I mean, yeah, I'm
sure the kid intentionally got Sander's number, But do you
believe that the dad's iPad was just sitting around and
the dad didn't know about it?
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Yeah? I can buy that. I can buy the story
that I think I heard that he had left it
on and that's why the kid got the number. I
don't think I think the kid you bought.
Speaker 5 (37:51):
Do you buy it?
Speaker 3 (37:52):
Yeah, yeah, I believe it. I mean as opposed to
what he hacked the computer? I mean, what's the other
I mean.
Speaker 5 (37:58):
Okay, maybe I'm the cynic here, but how many times
do you leave an iPad on and it doesn't, like
get a lock screen up? I mean, I would think,
wouldn't the lock screen come up?
Speaker 4 (38:11):
At some Some people have turned off, maybe at a
different time. Some people haven't it fun okay, minutes.
Speaker 5 (38:16):
So let's fine. Who knew you all would be so treaty?
Are usually the ones that are suspect? All right, Well,
let's say he didn't have anything to do with it.
If you're the dad, Drew, what do you do now?
Your kid's twenty one years old?
Speaker 2 (38:30):
But yeah, he's not a kid, he's twenty one, So
what what do.
Speaker 5 (38:33):
You do to the sun. Can you do anything? Do
you like take him out of the wheel.
Speaker 6 (38:36):
Uh, well, I don't know about taking him out of
the will, but uh dad was a linebacker in the
NFL for almost a decade. I even thought I would
hate to be his son behind closed doors. That could
have gotten him in a lot of trouble. Seems like
the Falcons, if you know, obviously taking the blame off him.
His dad just got that job. It's a cutthroat league
where you can get fired over anything. I'm gonna assume
(38:57):
Dad did what he needed to do behind.
Speaker 5 (38:59):
And handle that.
Speaker 6 (39:00):
Turn on your a.
Speaker 5 (39:00):
Dad, you have a twenty one year old that does this.
Let's say I have well, let's use your scenario. Let's
say you have Otaga always number and your son calls
Otaga oway and prank Seeman says he'll be a first
round pick in the NBA draft.
Speaker 6 (39:19):
What do you do it It's your first year on
the job at this at this organization.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
And the kids twenty one. I mean, he's an adult.
I mean you can't take his PlayStation away or get yourself.
I'm gonna screaming at that age. I don't think it
works either. I think but I'm gonna make him feel
so guilty and make him feel like an inch tall
about how he embarrassed me, embarrassed our family, embarrassed your organization.
Speaker 5 (39:42):
Well, let's act like you're giving me. I'm your son,
all right, all right, and and this has happened and
you've found out tell me what what? What are you
gonna say to me?
Speaker 4 (39:51):
Matt?
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Look, I know you thought it was probably some funny
thing to do, but in reality is you've embarrassed our
entire family. You've embarrassed Sorry, he's not gonna get it
this time. I mean you need to. You need to
suck it up and understand what you've done.
Speaker 5 (40:04):
Do you want me to do?
Speaker 2 (40:05):
Well, I want you to listen what I'm saying and
stop talking back to me right now? Oh is this
funny to you? Give this funny to you? Saw you
shift into a new gear right there, You get a
dad mode and everything changes.
Speaker 5 (40:23):
That was that was kind of scary a little bit.
Speaker 6 (40:27):
You will.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
Jeff Gilstrap, the late Jeff Gilstrap told me if you
were friends with your kid, then you are not doing
your job. They need to be scared of you when
they're that age.
Speaker 5 (40:35):
But you're friends with your kids.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
I am now, but but your kids are One kid's
still in high school.
Speaker 7 (40:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (40:41):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
I ripped him the other day about well, I mean,
do you want to say or well, I can tell you.
We were trying to go down to Panama sitting to
me Shannon. We were leaving at one o'clock after K
s R. I get home, he's not there and he
hasn't even packed. Oh yeah, I laid into him. You
all thought you were.
Speaker 5 (40:59):
Gonna be just said though, you were gonna make him
feel bad.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
Well that was a twenty one year old, eighteen year old.
I think I still can still yell at him.
Speaker 4 (41:06):
He's an adult at eighteen, though, too.
Speaker 5 (41:07):
Yeah all right, so you yell at eighteen, don't at
twenty one? Yeah? All right. Well this is I hadn't
thought about what you said, Drew, which is if you're
the employer you, I mean, maybe you're not gonna fire
the guy, but it might hurt him with future jobs
because people be like, can we trust this guy to
kind of handle his business? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (41:26):
I mean not to overreact to getting playbooks and stuff,
but you know, we try to keep things internal. How
is your son getting one of the most popular names
that have come through the draft in many years. How
is he getting his personal sofhone number and calling him? Like,
what else are you leaving opening around the place. It's
a good question. Well, anyway that it's gonna be, it's
gonna be awkward. At the next family gathering with those two,
(41:47):
bet son got his credit card because sign ended up.
Speaker 5 (41:49):
By the way, the son had to apologize saw that
they put the son in contact with Shador. In reading
the statements, it sounded like the sun apologized, but Shador
was not happening.
Speaker 6 (42:01):
I wouldn't have it either.
Speaker 5 (42:02):
I mean, it was very embarrassing. I mean it was
a live stream like that. That's the one moment I
did really feel bad for it. Like you get your
hopes up and you get excited and then you're it's
like a joke, and that's a you.
Speaker 6 (42:13):
Get that opportunity one time. Well he actually got it
twice in this situation. But you know, I'm sure he
got so excited when that call come through and he
just ripped it from him.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
I thought the apology that he posted, I thought it
was good and I am glad he called and they
talked to each other like that was a big move.
Speaker 5 (42:26):
Big step. Yeah I could, but he kind of got
rewarded for it. He got to talk to Shanor Sanders twice.
But uh, well man, you scared me. Stess there, we
will take a break, come back here at Chaos by Grail.

you know, big day today, it's Derby Week. But most importantly,
last night I went to Cincinnati saw my Reds beat
(01:42):
your car. The summer of Ellie is is kicking in
five straight wins for the Reds. Here's a little stat
for you to the last twelve seasons. Do you know
how many times the Reds have won six straight games?
Once twice in twelve years? Wow, twice in twelve years.
So this could be number three? Uh to that tonight
(02:05):
if they win. It was a It's beautiful. I got
my elly switch hitting bobblehead. You did, oh nice? Yeah?
So I missed the switch hitting bobblehead game. I was
in the Netherlands. It's a bobblehead and I don't really
know what makes it switch hitting. I think it's just Shannon.
You can flip it around and it looks like he's
hitting left handed.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
I just put the bat in the other hand.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
No, well, the bat goes in one place. They've just
designed it wherever it doesn't. I don't really know. It
looks to me like when he hits left handed, he
would not be being successful. But it is. It's like
a visual thing. It's a switch hitting babble I gotta
see this I have So I now have two. Uh,
I now have two bobbleheads and ready to go.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Well, yeah, last year Billy lerisk his life to get
that bubble like.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
One of the last ones. Yes, So this year I
called first and asked them to save me one and
they did well. I mean, I'm a season ticket holder,
so I'll do that. If you know in advance, you
know they're having Pete Rose jersey. Yes, I heard that fourteenth.
I think I'm gonna sell that ticket because it's a
you know, it's it'll be sold out for the Pete Rose.
(03:08):
Everybody's gonna want a Pete Rose jersey. And I don't
really care because I wasn't. I mean, that was before
I was a fan, So I think I might sell those.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
That's a heck of a promotion. Everybody comes because they're
replica of Pete Rose Red's jersey and every one of
Pete Rose. That's a heck of a promotion.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
That's gotta be an expensive gift, Drew.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Yeah, how do they afford all this? Is it your
season ticket money?
Speaker 5 (03:27):
Ellie?
Speaker 6 (03:27):
That's a nice promotion.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
We're only paying Elle eight hundred thousand dollars and he's
I have to tell you right now. Of course I
say this now, and I'll hate the team in a week,
but right now I kind of love them. They're sixteen
and thirteen. They've got obviously Ellie, yes, but they got
new guys who were good, Austin Hayes and Gavin Lux.
You know, some of the dudes I like haven't even
(03:49):
played well, like Matt mcclean's hitting like one fifty, Spencer
Steers hitting like one eighty. And yet they're still good
because our pitchers they've been grooving it.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Well, I told you started. My dad's you know, the
biggest Cardinal fan I know. He's so upset last night.
He called me three times and then the last time
was like Red's gonna sweep him. Red's gonna sweep the
Cardinals this week.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Well, here's the thing. They had a big inning where
they should have gotten more runs and they didn't. That's
probably what madjor Dad they got. We walked like the
first two batters, it was first and second, nobody out.
He hits a little chopper and the catcher makes a
great play, throws him out at third. Next uh, next pitch,
double play and we get out of the inning. And
that probably made your dad. Man.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Was a good crowd last night was a nice sight.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
There was not a good crowd. I'm kind of shocked.
Perfect weather, Yes, beautiful day playing the Cardinals, but there
was nobody there. Well they didn't give the Bible heads
last night, but there was there was nobody there. I
was kind of surprised.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
Yeah, I mean, this is the summer, Eli, you think
they'd be fired. We're a game back in the NL Central,
whatever the NL is.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
And I tell you what Uncle Matt did for one
of our fine listeners. Let's hear it they are. Why
do you look so skeptical when I said that? Man,
I mean you look like, what did you think? So
what did you think? I was gonna say? Okay, there
were these two kids, college kids, sitting in front of me.
They one of them looks back and goes, are you
(05:10):
Matt Jones? His dad runs the Mister Daddies in Campbellsville
and we are, oh nice? And he told me the
story that these two guys, one of them lives in Campbellsville,
the other one goes to UK, and they like, they
don't get to hang out with each other very much.
So they were going to the game this week and
they said they both had kind of free weeks and
they were glad to catch up. Well, Thursday is a
(05:32):
day game and I can't go, and so I just said, well,
would you all like to hang out again Thursday?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Let's gave him the I gave him my nice Very
nice of you to do that.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
So it was it because they didn't ask. You see
what I'm saying. They didn't ask, because when people ask,
that's not happen. Do you know what somebody wrote me
the other day?
Speaker 6 (05:52):
Tell me about it.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
This is a literally somebody wrote me. This was like
two weeks ago. Hey, Matt, I normally never do this,
but that's how all the sentences. Sure, they all they
all start. I normally never do this, but and I like,
my answer is almost always gonna be no. But sometimes
(06:15):
I at least understand. They'll be like, it's my dad's
birthday or my sister Bob mitzvah or something. You know,
there's there's something, there's something happening. This guy goes, I've
always been a big Red Sox fan. First of all,
not reds Red Sox. The Red Sox are coming to town.
(06:40):
Would you give me the tickets or I'm glad to
pay face value?
Speaker 6 (06:48):
No, they're they're negotiating.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
Well. First of all, thank you for your generosity at
being willing to pay face value for what are probably
going to be the most expensive tickets of the year.
Thank you. I appreciate you offering to pay face value.
But I just I thought, I mean, like, really, you're
really gonna ask somebody to give you tickets for what
(07:11):
is I mean, the Red Sox. Those tickets will go
for four hundred bucks apeece.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah, you can get a good chunk of chain for
your seats for the Red Sox series and for the
guy that had the kahons ask you, I I'm the opposing.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Fan scene fan. That's like writing me in saying, hey,
lifetime Arkansas fan, they're coming to Rupperna, will you give
me the ticket? Crew. I just it's amazing to me
that somebody can do that.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
I would have at least lied instead. I'm a Reds fan.
I mean, you're asking to wear the opposing team's gear
in your seats that they can be seen on TV.
You'd be contributing to the wrong team.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Yes, I took a book last night, but here's how
good the Reds are this year. I didn't read the book,
and this is how exciting they are this year. No book,
I took it in, didn't even open it at any point.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
If they were bad, what book would that be that
you would have been reading lesson?
Speaker 5 (08:02):
It's a book. I'm reading that. I'm it's a really
good book, but I'm not recommending to the general audience,
because I know if you all read it, like I
don't want, you're associating it with vermut No, it's not
very smart. No, it was one of the New York
Times Top ten books of the year. It's called All fours.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
This is taking a turn.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
I actually don't want to know anymore.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Stop right there. Yeah, I'm just saying to you it's
it's very good. I can see why it was named that,
But I don't want when you read it. I don't
want you thinking, well, this was a Matt Jones recommendation TV.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
So reading all fours thought, I.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
Thought about that. Okay, I thought about it. If I'm
reading this book, the name cannot be showy. Yeah, you
went viral when I read it.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
Can I read what it's about?
Speaker 5 (08:57):
You cannot? People can look at me. You can look
it up on their own if they won nine two
twenty two eighty seven. We're gonna take your call today.
We did not do it yesterday. As I said, it's
Derby Week, Derby week, not just Red's week. It's Derby
by the way, little suggestion the rems, why are you
always at home during Derby Week? Like why do they
(09:18):
every year they have home?
Speaker 7 (09:19):
Like?
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Why not have like that? I feel like that's under
their attendance. I would think, like why not be on
the road during Derby Week? Anyway, you got mad because
last night it went viral again the video of you
getting thrown on your back in the mud at the Derby.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
This was what year nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
People who haven't seen the video, A college kid just
picks rying up, he's in a suit and throws him
in the mud hard. Yes, and it hurt your back.
We did. And it's now been almost thirty years and
it still makes you mad to this day, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Look that was my very first Kentucky, a member of
the media with Channel eighteen. I bought new shirt, new pants,
new a new suit.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
He has them all.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I was style and I had been there for maybe
maybe thirty minutes, and I am upside down in a
puddle of water and it stunk.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
You know.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
It was that old rain water, been sitting there for
a couple of days. It's stunk and I'm just covered
in it. And I had to spend the rest This
was early in the day. I had to spend the
rest of the day like that, so find somebody who
felt sorry for me. He had a pair of jeans
and an oversized T shirt that I wore. The rest
of it had to do the live shot and jeans
and a T shirt he gave you.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
He had brought spare clothes.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Yeah, punk punk, because he wasn't He's spending the night.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
If they're gonna have to spend the rest of the
day in the month.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Yeah, yeah, and I did for several hours.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
And I think, if I remember the story, the kid
just ran off and never got caught, disappeared.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Have you disappeared?
Speaker 5 (10:49):
It was on television. Have you ever figured out who
it was?
Speaker 7 (10:52):
No?
Speaker 2 (10:53):
We even frozen where you can see his face looking
right at the camera and said, you know this guy
owes me for dry cleaning and a chiropractor Bill never hurt,
never got no nobody.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Wait, you put it on the air.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Yeah, yeah, you put his face on the air, but
this was in Lexington put it on the air. Of course,
that kid's probably from who knows where, So that kid
is probably like fifty years old probably. Yeah, So what
would you think about, like should we find him?
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Now? I would love that. I would just like to
find out who it was.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
I have like facial recognition technology now, so.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Here's what I would say. First of all, Drew, will
you put out the video? Yeah? All right, So Drew's
gonna put out the video on his Twitter account. If
anyone knows who this person is, I don't want this
person to be punished. But thirty years later, it feels
like they should come and apology.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
I agree, yes, because it hurt your back, right, My
back was messed up for a couple of years after
that hurts your back. Yes, it was muddy, It was
stinky mud.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Now he's probably just a kid that was having fun.
Probably think about it. But maybe now, as a grown
up at fifty, he could apologize to you, and I
think then maybe you could get some closure and laugh
about it, feel some remorse.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
I remember after I got up, I went straight to
a police officer and you're gonna help me with this,
He goes, Dude, where'd he go? You know they didn't.
They didn't the police officers. Two police officers standing right there,
watch the whole thing.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
All right. So so Drew will put this out Shannon.
We'll let the masses decide if they think they know
in this entire state. I mean, remember when the Luigi
guy killed the insurance guy. They found him in a
McDonald's in Altona.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
So I feel like we can we could, we can
do this thirty years later. The dude may look a
lot different. He's a big muscular guy in the video.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
But I'm saying, but like there might be somebody who
remembers Drew what he looked like then.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
Yeah, yeah, you know, I watched a lot of Dateline.
There's several way new technology true. Also, sometimes just over time,
criminals think, you know what, I've been living with this
for twenty five years.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Thinks will we find him? When we find they need
to let me pick him up and throw him in
a mud.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
PUB think he probably could forget.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
I think that's first of all, if you couldn't do that. Secondly,
he's fifty years old now probably, so it might hurt
him if you threw him in the mud.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
It hurt me when he threw me in the mud.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
So I hope you get over that because it still
seems to really bother well, because like I said, I
was so excited my first derby, and I spend all
day in a muddy, stinky, wet clothes.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
It was awful, awful.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
A five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven.
Uh we did. We touched on this yesterday. The Kentucky
players were all in town, and I want to ask
you a question about the roster because we have Uh, well,
there's a couple things we'll do that when we return.
Drew just put out the video. See if we could
find this man that thirty years ago broke Ryan's herd.
We'll take a break of you right back. It's ks
(13:37):
har Wa. I'm back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio text
machine seven seven two seven four five two five four
one person rides mad. I saw you at the game
last night, saw you carrying a book. I actually wasn't
sitting far from you and wanted you to read so
I could take a picture and make fun of you.
But I didn't see you pull it out the whole time.
(13:59):
It's exactly right. I didn't because the game was so good.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
He went fast to two hours.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
DS are fun. They had uh you know, they got
all these You got all these young guys. The only
dude they're paying a lot of money to stinks, which
is Candelario. He doesn't even get in the game. He stinks.
But the rest of the team is is fun.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
I thought a big come back to the Cardinals tonight.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
I think they we're not gonna sweep them. I think
we probably lose tonight. I mean we had we only
won six straight twice in twelve years. I don't expect
it to happen tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
Last time you said this, I bet on the Reds
because I something about your lack of confidence. I think
they're gonna win again. I'm gonna do it again. You
gotta show faith in your team. I'd love for that
to uh uh, that to happen.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
One person writes Matt, I read the description of the
book you said you read on my work computer, and
now you're gonna get me in trouble boy.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Really huh yeah?
Speaker 5 (14:48):
I mean again, I want to be clear, this is
not my I'm not telling you folks to read this book.
Don't point at me like that. I didn't. If you
read it, it's on your own. It's it's with a warning. Okay.
So the players were we're all we're all here this weekend,
and I was looking at the ross. We have twelve guys.
Question one, do you think we go get a thirteenth guy?
(15:08):
I still haven't gotten the call that Mark Pope is
ready to come on the show, which tells me the
roster's not finished, which tells me I think we're gonna
get a thirteenth person. But do you think we're gonna
get one? I think they could.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
Yeah, I'll say they either had a high school or
another international player. I think they're done with the portal.
I believe they've even said that, But maybe you add
someone that's more of a project for all down the road.
I don't think they need one, but I still think
they will look to add one.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
See obviously, and more towards European player. Also somebody that
can bring in kind of work with this year, it's
kind of like a red shirt year almost and then
getting ready for maybe down the road.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
Why European though, if it's gonna be a red shirt,
wouldn't a European be a guy like you have come
play immediately?
Speaker 8 (15:45):
Like?
Speaker 5 (15:45):
Why is he gonna come from Europe to not try?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
If he's like a maybe like a seven footer that's
really needs to be some beefed up and need to
get stronger and need to learn how to play American basketball,
I would be my guess.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
Okay, I assume they will use somebody. I think I
would have heard if they like, because I think there's
a good chance we'll have Pope in the couple weeks
after that after the derby, So I would assume they
get somebody else. All right, do you think we have
a final four roster? I see, I see a lot
(16:16):
of our fans seemingly assume the answer to that question
is yes. And then some of the rankings don't even
have us in the top ten, like Jeff Borzello doesn't
have us in the top ten. John Rothstein doesn't have
us in the top ten. But then there are people
like the field to sixty eight have us number three.
So that's you don't usually see that wide discrepancy in
(16:38):
how people see the team. Which one do you think
is closer top three, not in the top ten.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
I lean final four potential because I think they'll be
in the conversation for a one seed at the end
of the year. I think the SEC will be down,
definitely could be down. A big part of the tournament
last years we saw is retaining players, and I mean,
you're gonna have a way back, Garrison back, Chandler back.
You know, we know the list. And then I really
like the pieces they added to fix the flaws last
year defensively, so if they stay healthy, I think there'll
(17:07):
be a top two seed in the tournament.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
What about the argument, Hey, clearly we're better defensively, Clearly
we're tougher, but we gave up a lot of shooting
and last year kind of our strength was shooting, and
we gave up a lot of that. We have a
lot of shooters that might be good, but we probably
don't have any you know, we came in last year,
know when Kobe Brayer was a great shooter. We knew
Jackson Robinson was a great shooter. We knew Andrew Carr
(17:31):
was a pretty good shooter. I don't know that we
have anybody that you would say, Okay, well that's definitely
a great shooter.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
That's my concern right there. That's why I's getting ready
to say that there's just not that guy that when
we need hit two or three threes in a game.
Unless Alway can figure it out this summer, figure his
shot out. I don't think it's the missing piece. I
think I wish you'd got a knockdown shooter.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
But we also, though have four guys who can go
get you a bucket, which we didn't really have last year.
I think you Jalen Low can go get you a basket.
I think you know Aberdeen Aberdeen could go get you
a basket. I think you could Otaga can go get
you a basket. So I mean I do think you
have that. Does that make it better for you? Yeah,
I mean they're gonna be really, really good. And then
if you're asking me to pick top three or out
(18:13):
of the top ten, I'm probably picking in the middle.
Like seventeen, those weren't the two choice.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yeah, that's what I'm going to choices where well those.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
Were not the two choice. Obviously picking in the middle
would be the easy choice. The question is if you
if I said to you they were either top three
or like eleventh.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
I guess I would probably take tough three because I
do think Otago will make a jump. I think Brandon
Garrison is gonna make a jump. I think Colin Channer
of those three guys we talked about, they're gonna make
a jump this season.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
And you do have drew nine or ten guys that
can make a three, right, So just think about rather
than not down, just think about guys who could make
a three. Okay Low can make a three, Oway Aberdeen, Chandler,
Noah Garrison, Jasper Johnson. Yeah. I mean, so I've just
(19:00):
given you eight guys that and then the Croatian kid.
I've just given you nine guys that you know, if
you leave open, can make it. And you know, maybe
even you know, maybe there's even more. But those those
are the ones. Did I say Cam Williams that's ten.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
Yeah, I'm just gonna say, let's Cam Williams and Jasper
Johnson to the ones.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
That shoot threes. I don't he had.
Speaker 6 (19:21):
I mean, I don't know that you're gonna rely. He's
not gonna be like Almanor, but he's his money when
he steps out.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
But he made a few.
Speaker 6 (19:25):
Obama, I'm not as worried. Not everyone's gonna take a
big jump, but I think like a lower an Aberdeen,
you could see their shooting percentage go up. And also
last year they d not finishing top twenty five. You
finished the year without Jackson Robinson, who's one of your
best shooters. So outside of Kobe Brea, I mean Kentucky's team,
they I think they shot at thirty seven percent or
something like that for the year. It wasn't like a
(19:45):
lights out shooting. As this season winded down there they
even had to play a little defense.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
And you didn't have Jackson Robinson at the end. That
was I still made the Sweet sixteen. Who do you
think is the because I think there's a definitive answer
to this, but who do you think is the player?
That this dude better be good for us to be good.
Do you have one Otega? Okay you're Otaga? Yeah, all right,
what bet you?
Speaker 6 (20:10):
I'm already counting Otega is good, Eileen Lowe or even
Brandon Garrison. I'm gonna say Brandon Garrison just in case
the acquaintance is a slow build.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
You know, Marino is still young.
Speaker 6 (20:20):
I think if he's gonna be the starter in the
in the five, uh, he needs to make a big
jump to get closer to what is what Amaro was
last year.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
For me, we either make it or don't on Jaalen
low like to me, we've put a lot on that kid.
He's our point guard. He's gonna be our primary, like
you know, offense starter. I think he's gotta be good.
I think he is good, but like you watch how
(20:49):
he plays. He is a high volume player. I think
that you call in the NBA a high usage player,
which means the ball is in his hands a lot.
I think he's gotta be good. I think he will,
but like he's the one that we got it and keep.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Your finger cross theyn get help stay healthy at that
point in our position, not have another season we had
last good thing is they do.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Have Aberdeen sitting there? Who could? Who could? Who could?
Back up? Then O Taga did it a little bit Chadler.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
I've seen some people saying Chandler can't do it. You
gotta remember last year he didn't even practice as the point.
He was like the sixth option all summer, all fall,
and then even Perry, I mean he's he's uh, you
know you had Kerr and Lamont all summer. They practice
to be in that role. I think if Chandler goes
in the summer knowing he's gonna have to do some
ball handling, he can make a jump there too if needed.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
If I'm eighty seven, who's first? Oh the lines are open?
All right? Come on, folks, I'm ready to take calls.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
And Shannon, Shannon probably nuked the lines.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
Chance, did you nuke the line?
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Nuked the lines?
Speaker 5 (21:49):
You nuked the lines? Because sorry, there's a few, but
I want to talk to you if I'm nine to
two eight oh, uh, twenty two eighty seven, one more person?
Do you think the Croatian kid is playing ten minutes,
fifteen minutes, twenty minutes, twenty five minutes.
Speaker 6 (22:05):
He's the one that's confusing because I think dia Bote
is gonna play a lot of minutes. You can maybe
even play a quaintance at the four a little bit
when he gets healthy. So it's a matter of finding
him time. But I think he's very capable. I think
I'll say he plays fifteen. By the way, you just
hope we've been to play a deep roster very similar.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
But did you see the Stoyakovic kids going to Illinois.
I mean they literally are just taking the Croatian national
team and may they have both of Visa brothers and Stoyakovic.
I mean they're they basically are taking, you know, a
national team on their run, our Croatian yellow bitch. He
has a teammate that's now looking to go to college
and heck, Illinois might call him to maybe we'll call him.
(22:41):
Maybe he's a shooter. Well we'll just become team college
beta man.
Speaker 6 (22:45):
But I would watch Illinois because they're collecting them.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Yeah, Illinois's gonna be really good next year with those
three guys.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
They can't beat us Oho twenty two to eighty seven.
By the way, they've got a whistler at these Reds
games again.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Oh no, oh, those people should be banned attained by
law enforcement.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
We'll be right back. TJ. Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ.
He'll make them pay now.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
More of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
Here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
Welcome back Turkey Sports Radio. If I'm nine, two eight
oh twenty two eighty seven. Here's what's crazy. The guy
asked me for the Boston tickets. We play them in
Boston this year. So see asking me two years in advance.
Maybe the Yankees come here this year.
Speaker 6 (23:34):
Maybe you thought when you were a season ticket holder,
you get away tickets too.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
That would be good.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Actually, that seats behind home Playton Finway. Hey, I'll take those.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
Seven seven two seven seven four five two five four.
By the way, Diabat shot forty six percent from three
last year. That alemn That surprised me.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
I didn't know he was that good of a shooter.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
Must take it, must not take ten many.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
I looked it up though. His freshman year he shot
nine percent, then he jumped to forty six. I mean,
we're looking at maybe potential le season next year.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
You're saying he'll jump that again and then he'll shoot
eighty three.
Speaker 6 (24:06):
I'm just looking at what he's done in the past, projecting.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
The next year he'll make more than he takes. That's
a big jump, big jump. Let's see, we got folks on,
so let's just start. I've got a couple of other things,
but I'll wait. Who's up first, Estal? How are you? Estel?
Speaker 8 (24:26):
I'm fine?
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Are you good?
Speaker 8 (24:30):
I'll talked to you before. And I really don't like
all this fouling. You know, put people on the line
hoping they'll miss the pretro, and it drags out the
last two minutes a lot. And now they've gone to
checking the clock, checking the time. You know, see if
you've also the Lafet couple of minutes was really dragging
(24:51):
it out.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Yes, especially college basketball, it takes for effort.
Speaker 8 (24:56):
Okay, here's here's something. And I would lie to them
to consider. Of course they won't, those committee won't. But
we could go to eighty five, do away with all
the time and most of the time, and let's just
go to eighty five. Look up last three years and
see what was the average winning scorer. I mean, what
(25:19):
would it be around eighty five?
Speaker 5 (25:21):
Yeah, so you're talking about they have this thing now
what it's called the elam ending, which is basically they
play a game and then like with I don't know
what it is, four or five minutes to go, then
they'll go all right, fifteen points from here. I agree
with you, sir, I think it'd be better. But I
think the bigger issue for college basketball. I appreciate the
(25:43):
call is they've got to find a way to limit
the reviews in college basketball. They went, I mean, there's
just too many. It needs to be like the NBA.
You get a challenge, right, you get so many challenges
a game. You got like two challenges a game, and
if you use them early, that's on you, like that's
what you know, and then you only I think in
the NBA they only review like in the last minute,
and they don't even review fouls like they'll only review
(26:06):
clock in the last minute. We've got to do that
because college basketball in the last few years, the rafts
go to the monitor on every play and there's no
reason for that.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
Oh, I've got a million tweets from Roperino where it's
just a photo. I always say, Doug at the monitor.
Here he goes again. And if you're a team that
plays with tempo and it's late in the game, that
can absolutely kill you. If they're just constantly reviewing every
little thing, it just makes the game come to a crawl.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
You know, it may never happen, but I do like
the elam ending because there's like, there's a game winning
bucket every single game. You can celebrate that one that
gets you to fifteen.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
It's true, you do get the excitement of the team
winning bucket regards every single game.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
Yeah, it made the basket of the TBT a lot
of fun. I mean, Brendan Canada hit a game winner. Yeah,
free throw. When is the tvt boy though, July. It's
in July and it's at Memorial, right, Historic Memorial. That's
gonna be got some big commitments. I've heard of teasers
of future commitments. I think they're gonna have an another
good roster here.
Speaker 5 (26:59):
Yeah. I they've got to do something about the reviews
the NCAA tournament, and some of them are just brutal.
Those that last couple of minutes. It just goes and
goes and goes and goes, and it's really annoyed.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
You know, an out of bounds play or a clock
violation or whatever. Man, but out of.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
Bounds take it needs to be close they're to the
point they review every every play. They just review it
for the sake of reviewing it, and it needs make
them have a challenge so that the coach has to do.
Like in baseball, you get one review right and they'll
you'll look and they'll quickly Terry Francona, I watch him
in the dugout. He quickly looks to see the to
(27:41):
have somebody look, and then they'll just look at the
umpire and go, you're good.
Speaker 6 (27:44):
And it's it's it's a fast pace in college basketball.
It's like they've gotten where they'll rely on it and
they'll make the call, knowing that allows them to go
to the monitor. They're like, well, instead of me putting
my neck out there and making a decision here, I
just know we can all walk to the monitors.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
They call the foul. So this is what happened in
that NBA game the other night. If they call the foul,
then they're allowed to go to the monitor, But if
they don't call the foul, then they're not, which gives
them an incentive to call, which is the last thing
you want at the end of a game, is the
incentive to call a foul.
Speaker 6 (28:15):
They're just relying on it way too much because they
know they can go to it for several things. There's
no limit to it, Uh, even though there might be
some miscalls we complain about. They got to go back
to just bang bang, make your decision and then just
a few challenges there.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
By the way, with goldtending like they're allowed to do
it if they call it, just takes them more likely
to call it, which is not what you want. Who's next, Joe, Joe,
Go ahead, Joe.
Speaker 7 (28:39):
Thank you, gentlemen, Matt. As we wait for coach both
to make his final decision on his roster, we also
are looking forward to UH Coach Brooks and our girls team. Matt,
is there a question of money on Coach Brooks? Is
he does wait for next year to get more money
so he can recruit a lot more play?
Speaker 5 (28:58):
Yeah, so I've heard. Well, you know, they had that
one girl this year who was supposed to be their
second best player who tore ACL to start the season. Right,
what was her name?
Speaker 2 (29:08):
I can't remember.
Speaker 5 (29:09):
Oh, so she's gonna she's I think, supposed to be
our best player this year. And then they had a
lot of young, younger people. I don't know if they're
gonna add one or two more players. But I I've
heard that the Nile situation for women's basketball is good good,
So I don't think that the issue Drew is money.
(29:30):
If they if they don't have the.
Speaker 6 (29:31):
Players, I think they're gonna have a good team with
what they have returning. And then, uh, I mean, you
can't replace Georgia Amore. But they went and got the
Tony Morgan point guard, who was all acc I don't
know if anyone's gonna be what Georgia was, but it
seemed like they did as best they could in the
portal to fill that spot.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
But then you have Key and.
Speaker 6 (29:46):
Strak and all the all the bigs they're back.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
Have you noticed all the national coverage Kentucky's been getting
for the way they set up that athletics department all
they have, Oh, they've got a ton of it. A
lot of national people going, wait a minute, is this
the future? The future? And who would have ever thought
Mitch Barnhardt, who has been seen not just by the
fans but by me as being like behind the times
(30:10):
on this stuff, that they would be the one that
would create the future of how these things will be done.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Yeah, he's always been kind of a guy, like, you know,
like an alcohol sales le. Let's wait and see how
it works out of other schools in al thing, Let's
wait till he goes to other schools. Now he's being proactive.
He's the leader in this.
Speaker 6 (30:25):
Do you think he just hates the current climate so
much He's like, I gotta do something, I gotta step
up because he was to get into it.
Speaker 5 (30:32):
I want to give him his due, which is he
takes a view and this is something that I've heard
him say many times. He takes a view that he
really wants to leave things better than they were when
he got them. And I think he takes to you
he knows the end of his career is coming, and
I think he knows what happens in the next year
(30:52):
or two is going to set up the next twenty
and he doesn't want to leave a new ad with
a disaster of a situation trying to figure out how
you reorganize an athletic department. So I think that's why
he's doing it.
Speaker 6 (31:04):
To be honest, didn't he and Cal say about Wasn't
that a big part of their little sit down was
leaving things better than they found it.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
Cal left four days later.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
Well half of them are falling through with that.
Speaker 5 (31:13):
But I will say he did leave it better than
at the time of that interview, which is things were
better after he left than they were during that interview.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
See, he followed up on his promise, and you know,
to be fair to Col, the.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
Program was in a better place than it was when
he got here. Oh, no doubt when he got here. No,
I mean, to be fair to Col. That's a good
question about coaches. Who's done that? I mean, Rick did it. Tubby,
I guess it was a little worse.
Speaker 6 (31:45):
He picked it up at the peak, though.
Speaker 5 (31:49):
Billy made it much worse. Cal made it better. He did,
and we'll see what happens with Pope, and then in
football Joker made it worse. Brooks picked it up. Rich
Brooks made it much better. I think, no matter what
happens with Mark Stoops, you're gonna have to say he
leaves it better than it was, thank you. So I
think that's that is not a bad way to measure success.
(32:10):
A little hard for Tubby because Tubby got it at
the absolute pete.
Speaker 6 (32:13):
With Cal, it could have gone very wrong in that
hire after the way Billy took it straight down in
the tank, but he picked it up quickly, so yeah,
it can't be lost on us.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
That's why when we think I think about the Cali,
I think, over time, I'm gonna kind of forget about
these last three or four years and remember those first
seven or eight years.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
It's interesting we're a year away from him leaving and
already people talk about cal significantly less. Huh. I think
we had to get through it one year.
Speaker 6 (32:38):
We had to get through that game.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
We had to get through that game, We had to
get through the tournament. We needed him to lose in
the sweet sixteen, same round as us, And I think
it's gonna be much much, much less of a story
next year.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
We need a beat him though. We gotta beat him.
We're gonna beat him. I want to. I want to
beat him at Arkansas.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
Now, have we found out who the guy is yet
that threw you on the ground.

somebody has given us a potential nex. We have a lead.
(34:18):
We have a lead on the throwing RND in the bud. Yeah.
Can you think I could say the first name? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (34:25):
First name is generic, man, it could be anybody.
Speaker 6 (34:28):
It's kind of common.
Speaker 5 (34:29):
So the lead, he's a guy named Chuck, Chuck Chucking.
So if you know, if you know a Chuck, he's
on our list of suspects. Now, I don't know a
lot of Chucks. We were just saying, like, when's last
time you know it? Chuck? You mentioned Chuck Hayes. I'm
gonna eliminade him. I saw the video clear. It's not
(34:52):
perfectly clear, but clear enough to cross him off our list.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Chuck not block, Chuck Charles Barkley. They call him Chuck.
Speaker 5 (34:58):
Yeah, but he goes by Charles mostly. Chuck no block.
I think I can eliminate him. I have a last name, Chuck.
His second. He could have done it, but I don't
think he did it. Well.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Maybe it was the way he kind of spun me
around and he whipped me up and threw me down.
Speaker 5 (35:13):
I have the last name, but I'm not saying it
because I don't want to. I don't want to. But
but if you know what, Chuck, maybe that's maybe that's uh,
Chuck Grassley, the senator for Iowa. He's ninety years old.
Speaker 6 (35:25):
This was thirty years ago.
Speaker 5 (35:26):
Sixty man.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
He had on man's strength even back then.
Speaker 5 (35:29):
Wow, look at you knowing Chuck Grassley.
Speaker 6 (35:31):
How do you know that's a big I'm a big
politics guy.
Speaker 5 (35:33):
Really.
Speaker 6 (35:34):
I would not have sit around just watching Fox News
scene and I bounced back and forth. I would not
have had YouTube TV multiview on all the political chanting. Okay,
seven four five two five four, we'll go to the
phone in a second.
Speaker 5 (35:45):
By the way, Diabat shot twenty six threes for Alabama
last year May twelve. It's pretty good. I like he's
checking out there. Uh hey, notes, I would have told
him to shoot a few more.
Speaker 6 (35:57):
And Aberdeen, even though his uh season percentage inn when
Walter Clayton got hurt, he started five games and he
shot forty five percent from three. So they just need
an opportunity.
Speaker 5 (36:06):
Let's start for a second about the Falcons. The Falcons
defensive coordinator's kid, so Shador Sanders, got prank called during
the draft and they said, hey, congrat you've been drafted
and then it turns out it was a prank call
for reasons that I will never understand. The two kids
that did it videoed themselves and put it online. Why
(36:28):
in the world would you do that?
Speaker 6 (36:29):
We're going to shirve of the school they go to Maryland.
Speaker 5 (36:31):
Yeah, like, in case you don't know who this is,
we have an old Miss shirt on. Of course it's
two old Miss students. What turns out even worse, one
of the kids, not the one calling, but the one
sitting next to him, was the Falcons defensive coordinator's son.
So he got the number from the Falcons defensive coordinator.
(36:53):
Now the Falcons release a statement that said his dad
left out the iPad and the kid got the number
from the iPad. Question one, do you believe that story?
Speaker 8 (37:07):
No?
Speaker 5 (37:08):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
I think the kid purposely got into the iPad specifically
looking for Shandur Sanders number.
Speaker 5 (37:14):
Right, All right, yes, do believe.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
No, I don't think he left it open. I'm saying
he left left and just left it on the table.
Speaker 5 (37:22):
I think. I don't think the argument is he left
it on the table the kid tripped and saw she
door Sanders number. I think the argument is, did the
dad have anything to do with I mean, yeah, I'm
sure the kid intentionally got Sander's number, But do you
believe that the dad's iPad was just sitting around and
the dad didn't know about it?
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Yeah? I can buy that. I can buy the story
that I think I heard that he had left it
on and that's why the kid got the number. I
don't think I think the kid you bought.
Speaker 5 (37:51):
Do you buy it?
Speaker 3 (37:52):
Yeah, yeah, I believe it. I mean as opposed to
what he hacked the computer? I mean, what's the other
I mean.
Speaker 5 (37:58):
Okay, maybe I'm the cynic here, but how many times
do you leave an iPad on and it doesn't, like
get a lock screen up? I mean, I would think,
wouldn't the lock screen come up?
Speaker 4 (38:11):
At some Some people have turned off, maybe at a
different time. Some people haven't it fun okay, minutes.
Speaker 5 (38:16):
So let's fine. Who knew you all would be so treaty?
Are usually the ones that are suspect? All right, Well,
let's say he didn't have anything to do with it.
If you're the dad, Drew, what do you do now?
Your kid's twenty one years old?
Speaker 2 (38:30):
But yeah, he's not a kid, he's twenty one, So
what what do.
Speaker 5 (38:33):
You do to the sun. Can you do anything? Do
you like take him out of the wheel.
Speaker 6 (38:36):
Uh, well, I don't know about taking him out of
the will, but uh dad was a linebacker in the
NFL for almost a decade. I even thought I would
hate to be his son behind closed doors. That could
have gotten him in a lot of trouble. Seems like
the Falcons, if you know, obviously taking the blame off him.
His dad just got that job. It's a cutthroat league
where you can get fired over anything. I'm gonna assume
(38:57):
Dad did what he needed to do behind.
Speaker 5 (38:59):
And handle that.
Speaker 6 (39:00):
Turn on your a.
Speaker 5 (39:00):
Dad, you have a twenty one year old that does this.
Let's say I have well, let's use your scenario. Let's
say you have Otaga always number and your son calls
Otaga oway and prank Seeman says he'll be a first
round pick in the NBA draft.
Speaker 6 (39:19):
What do you do it It's your first year on
the job at this at this organization.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
And the kids twenty one. I mean, he's an adult.
I mean you can't take his PlayStation away or get yourself.
I'm gonna screaming at that age. I don't think it
works either. I think but I'm gonna make him feel
so guilty and make him feel like an inch tall
about how he embarrassed me, embarrassed our family, embarrassed your organization.
Speaker 5 (39:42):
Well, let's act like you're giving me. I'm your son,
all right, all right, and and this has happened and
you've found out tell me what what? What are you
gonna say to me?
Speaker 4 (39:51):
Matt?
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Look, I know you thought it was probably some funny
thing to do, but in reality is you've embarrassed our
entire family. You've embarrassed Sorry, he's not gonna get it
this time. I mean you need to. You need to
suck it up and understand what you've done.
Speaker 5 (40:04):
Do you want me to do?
Speaker 2 (40:05):
Well, I want you to listen what I'm saying and
stop talking back to me right now? Oh is this
funny to you? Give this funny to you? Saw you
shift into a new gear right there, You get a
dad mode and everything changes.
Speaker 5 (40:23):
That was that was kind of scary a little bit.
Speaker 6 (40:27):
You will.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
Jeff Gilstrap, the late Jeff Gilstrap told me if you
were friends with your kid, then you are not doing
your job. They need to be scared of you when
they're that age.
Speaker 5 (40:35):
But you're friends with your kids.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
I am now, but but your kids are One kid's
still in high school.
Speaker 7 (40:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (40:41):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
I ripped him the other day about well, I mean,
do you want to say or well, I can tell you.
We were trying to go down to Panama sitting to
me Shannon. We were leaving at one o'clock after K
s R. I get home, he's not there and he
hasn't even packed. Oh yeah, I laid into him. You
all thought you were.
Speaker 5 (40:59):
Gonna be just said though, you were gonna make him
feel bad.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
Well that was a twenty one year old, eighteen year old.
I think I still can still yell at him.
Speaker 4 (41:06):
He's an adult at eighteen, though, too.
Speaker 5 (41:07):
Yeah all right, so you yell at eighteen, don't at
twenty one? Yeah? All right. Well this is I hadn't
thought about what you said, Drew, which is if you're
the employer you, I mean, maybe you're not gonna fire
the guy, but it might hurt him with future jobs
because people be like, can we trust this guy to
kind of handle his business? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (41:26):
I mean not to overreact to getting playbooks and stuff,
but you know, we try to keep things internal. How
is your son getting one of the most popular names
that have come through the draft in many years. How
is he getting his personal sofhone number and calling him? Like,
what else are you leaving opening around the place. It's
a good question. Well, anyway that it's gonna be, it's
gonna be awkward. At the next family gathering with those two,
(41:47):
bet son got his credit card because sign ended up.
Speaker 5 (41:49):
By the way, the son had to apologize saw that
they put the son in contact with Shador. In reading
the statements, it sounded like the sun apologized, but Shador
was not happening.
Speaker 6 (42:01):
I wouldn't have it either.
Speaker 5 (42:02):
I mean, it was very embarrassing. I mean it was
a live stream like that. That's the one moment I
did really feel bad for it. Like you get your
hopes up and you get excited and then you're it's
like a joke, and that's a you.
Speaker 6 (42:13):
Get that opportunity one time. Well he actually got it
twice in this situation. But you know, I'm sure he
got so excited when that call come through and he
just ripped it from him.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
I thought the apology that he posted, I thought it
was good and I am glad he called and they
talked to each other like that was a big move.
Speaker 5 (42:26):
Big step. Yeah I could, but he kind of got
rewarded for it. He got to talk to Shanor Sanders twice.
But uh, well man, you scared me. Stess there, we
will take a break, come back here at Chaos by Grail.
I have number two can take you. Sports Radio
