We've got our week of a couple, well three weeks

(01:44):
of Matt be and Gonns. We're bringing in some special
guests today. We are honored a veteran of the Leaf Report,
a veteran at WKYT Sports, mister Lee K. Howard in
the house. What up, Lee K? Hey, It's good to
be here. In fact, I haven't been back over to
the Chaos bar. Since you guys redid it and here
look awesome. Thank you great. We tried to you do
all the decorating and Drew and I did Drew and

(02:04):
I did the little remodels work and all the pictures
kind of put up some different things and stuff. It's
got from New Jerseys. Sou see all the things. So Shannon,
you may remember this. Lee K is no stranger to
KSR either. He famously was co hosting KSR one morning
with Dave buzz Baker. Buzz was gonna be the lead.
Lee K was the co host. Dave buzz Baker did

(02:27):
not show up on time, right, that's when and Shannon
yelled at me. I remember this, I yelled at you.
Oh yeah, well it's not like he no, no, So
this was like, this was like a decade plus ago.
This is before KSR got so big that like Jay
Billis and Howard Stern were doing the summer shows and

(02:48):
they were asking just anybody to do the summer show,
as Matt was, and he had asked buzz Baker to
anchor a summer show or host the summer show. And
the night before Buzz text me and he said, hey,
I'm hosting in case Artemar, can you jump in with me?
And I was like, sure, why not? So I drive
over to the Nicholasville iHeart Studios, the old building, the
old building, and I'm there at like nine forty because

(03:10):
I'm just I want to be prepared, right, And nine
to fifty comes along. No, Buzz, I'm sitting there. Nine
to fifty five comes along. And if you know Buzz Ryan,
you know he's notoriously late to everything, always come in
at the last minute, last minute, but he usually makes it. Yeah,
he'll He'll be putting his microphone on in the studio
at wkyit like seconds before he talks. So I'm not
too worried. But then it gets to like almost ten

(03:30):
o'clock and I'm thinking, is Buzz gonna be here? So
I start texting him, Hey, man, are you coming? And
he text me back, yeah, I'm in the parking lot,
be right in. I'm like, okay, sounds good, We're good.
It gets to like a minute or two after ten o'clock.
Finally here comes Buzz walking into the studios. He's carrying
a stack of papers. He sets them down on the table,
goes you gotta go to the restroom. I'll be right back,

(03:54):
and I'm like, Okay, wait, what so because ten hours ago,
I didn't even know it was gonna be on the show.
I hadn't prepared. It was a summer show, so there's
not an obvious topic. We hadn't talked one second about
what we were going to discuss. So he leaves the room. Well,
I have my headset sitting on the table in front
of me, so I can still kind of hear it,
And all of a sudden, I start hearing were Wolves

(04:15):
of London dunk dum dunk dum dun. And it's like
three times into it, and I did one of the
dumbest things I've ever done in my broadcasting career, media career.
I pick up my headset and I've spoken to the
microphone and I go, Shannon, Shannon, are we on? I
don't know that? Like, was Shanny just practicing.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
It?

Speaker 4 (04:38):
She had it goes, you could be more irritated. She
Hadah goes, yeah, we're on KSR, We're live, We're live,
You're on. Come on, you do you know what you're doing? Yeah?
And I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I don't know the phone number.
I don't know a sponsor, and so I just babble
probably for like ten seconds, it feels like ten minutes.
And then finally here comes Buz walking into the studio.

(05:01):
He could not be bothered. He was not in a hurry,
just walks over, picks up his things. All right, where
are we at? You know? So anyway, that was I'm
surprised you guys had me back after that performance. Well
it has been ten years or so, so we had to,
you know, put you on the suspension list. I guess
for a ten year. It wasn't your fault though it wasn't,
but it felt like my fault it was. It was bad.
So I got here early today. But I will tell you, Ryan,
if you weren't in this building when I walked in,

(05:23):
I was gonna just hang out in the parking lot
because I did not need Shannon yelling at me for
starting to show terribly.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
I have no memory of that whatsoever, but I would
assume that's the last time you ever agreed to do
a show with Buzz after that day.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
Yes, yes, yes, Now, now I wait till he gets
there and I show up after him.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
There.

Speaker 4 (05:39):
He did a show one time with Cameron Mills. You
said a KSR with Cameron Mills way back in the day. Also, yeah,
hosted with Cameron that was that was I think that
day we talked the entire show about how college athletes
shouldn't be paid. Wow, so that is not age. Yeah
and in fact changed. Yeah, and in fact I've changed
my opinions greatly on that subject. But yeah, it's it's
been a while, but it's good to be good to

(06:00):
be back. Good to have you back, Lee K. Howard
from to p KYT those in the lection area. No,
you've been at ky no how many years? Fourteen? Oh
my goodness, have you really? Yeah? Wow, it's you started
KYT by the time I started KSR. I guess about
the same time. Yeah. In fact, I remember moving to
Lexington and you guys were just getting kind of big. Huh.

(06:21):
You could had been around, but like KSR was really
becoming a thing. And it's crazy to see like the
trajectory of this show and how it's not only statewide
but almost like nationally know in a lot of ways.
So yeah, that's it's been a while. So we got
Lee K here and we're gonna have like an ask
anything Wednesday. I will open up the phone line take
a lot of calls today. I eight five nine to

(06:42):
two to eighty seven. That's the cars pumpish out phone.
Nor if you want to call and get a board.
I do have the AVS and glass text machine. Although
my screens sideways. I can't get my screen back the
way I like it. Lee K, you may have to
help me with there's a lock screen function on that. Yeah,
but oh wait a minute, I had it upside down.
Oh there you go, there you go. See now I
went the right way. I'm old, all right, I said
today it is September seventeenth. It is yoga girl's birthday.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
You got big plans.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
Of course, you know where I'm taking her to dinner tonight.
And it's only one place should go for special birthday dinners, right,
especially if she lives in Georgetown. Rodney's on Broadway and Georgetown.
It's a visit tonight.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
We all know that you over the years have gotten
free mills at Rodney's.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Will you be getting a free birthday dinner tonight?

Speaker 4 (07:22):
For her? I hope not. I hope I wanted to pay,
like you should pay for a birthday.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
It makes you look bad if you get a free
grade dinner for her.

Speaker 4 (07:29):
I agree. If I get it free and I feel
like I still over one, I still got to go
out and take her somewhere. So so yeah, I feel
free to like send her a couple of messages. I
tweeted some very beautiful and attractive photos of her already
this morning, so I'm sure she's really gonna appreciate that.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
To look this up.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah, so you take her to Rodney's for a free
steak and then you take her to ks Bar afterwards, right,
is that that's true?

Speaker 4 (07:48):
Yeah? I can get get my owner's discount here at
Ksbar and girl. So okay, this is what I want
to start the show with. Yesterday we had the field
of sixty eight guys in here. Yep. Jeff Goodman, Rob Douster,
Jack Pilgrim helped me co ho. They were great, but
we only had them for like thirty minutes because they
had to leave go to UK practice. We had to
do their own UK interviews, do their own podcast, and

(08:09):
watch UK practice after UK practice. The plan was they
were gonna come out of the Craft Center, meet Jack
Pilgrim and Steven Peak and do sources say podcasts for them.
Right before the podcast started, they were going to call
on Uber. So while the Uber was en route to
pick them up at the Craft Center, they were going
to stand out there with Jack and Steven and report

(08:30):
on what they saw. Practice for the podcast. Plan was perfect,
Practice went a little long. Jack Pilgrim said he got
a text from Rob Doster said, hey, man, practice going along.
We're not gonna have time. We have to get to
the airport. Our flights at like seven o'clock and right
now it was already like five thirty something like that.
So Jack called an audible decides I'll take them to

(08:54):
the airport. This is where the story gets beautiful, Shannon.
They put Rob Doster and f come in in the
back seat. Steven Peak was in the passenger seat with
his camera and microphone. Jack was driving, and they did
the podcast in the car while driving the two guys
to the airport. I mean, if that is so chsr

(09:14):
right there, it's the best lee k. It's the best
reporter interview since Color chased down Billy Glespie over at
the Memorial Cosseum. Yeah, that one's gonna be hard to talk,
but I do you know, first of all, Jack does
an awesome job. They do a great job with that
source of say podcast, and I watched the entire thing
last night. I did too, and I'll be honest, had
they just been standing outside of the Craft Center, I

(09:34):
don't know that I would have watched the whole thing
a good point, and first of all, it wouldn't have
gone that long. So they almost found a way to
have a captive interview a captive audience. It's not like
they were gonna just quit quit talking. They were in
the backseat of the car. You had literally had a
destination to get to and into the interview. So no,
I thought it was I thought it was awesome. And
my only concern Shannon was I don't know if you

(09:55):
saw trying to put Dostar in Goodman's luggage in the
back of that car. The car it was, but well,
there's an outtake that Jack sent me. As they first
pulled away from the Craft Center, Jack almost hit somebody,
almost killed him, pulled right in front of somebody.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
It looked like so different podcast.

Speaker 4 (10:16):
I encourage everybody to go listen to this. It's on YouTube.
You can watch it and listen to it. For two reasons.
One is just the hilariousness of it happening in the
backseat of this of Jack's car while Jackson driving. Jack's
asking the questions while he's driving. But the second reason
is there's a lot of really good info in there
about this basketball team. I guess the big newsy thing

(10:36):
was Otega Oway has suffered the Joe Burrow injury and
has turf toe. That's why he's been walking around in
a boot. And apparently he's gonna have another couple of
weeks in the boot. And what the Bengals love Joe
Burrow now that the Cats lose, will take it for
a short time with turf toe. Listen, I didn't know
turf toe was such a big deal. Obviously my athletic
career didn't span past high school. But like that seems

(10:57):
to be a big deal. Although the good thing is
it seems like Otega is not near as you know.
Bad I guess is Joe Burrows. It's going to keep
him out for a couple of months. But no, that
was great, And you can tell that Goodman and Dowsta
have a great relationship with Pope absolutely, and so they're
able to one get into a practice like none of
the rest of us local media can and get all

(11:18):
this information. And I thought it was very informative though.
O Tega thing was informative, kind of like some of
their insights on you know, which player was doing wide
and who seems to be kind of ahead of the others.
I thought, if you get a chance, I mean, a
lot of that stuff was really good. It was. They
were also really high on Jalen Low, which, yeah, it
was good. So we're gonna break down it, but just
better than they said.

Speaker 5 (11:37):
Here.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
The next segment kind of go bit by bit because,
like I said, it's really good information they got from
having to watch practice, talk to the guys, talk to Pope,
and kind of get a feel of what this basketball
team's all about. So we'll take our break. We'll take
your calls all day long. Ask anything Wednesday eight five
nine two eight oh two to eight seven. That's the
largest pumping shop phone number Abian and Glass Tech Machine
is five O two seven see five plus zero plus

(12:00):
two equals seven thirty five thirty six eighty. Saw'm I
ask you later? Five O two seven thirty five thirty
six eighty. I feel like that's not the right cadence
for a phone number, but I'll try, Okay. Ryan Shannon
the Dude and Lee K. Howard in the house. Well,
be right back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. All right,
welcome back, can take you Sports Radio, Ryan Shannon the Dude,

(12:22):
and Lee K. Howard Before we go to the what
the basketball tidbits went on to talk about. I did
get a text on the avision glass text machine, Shannon.
It says, are you sure that's Lee K. Howard? It
sounds like Rick the producer. No, think they sound alike.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
No, he doesn't sound like Rick. Really, no, man, Lee
K didn't mention why one time.

Speaker 4 (12:42):
That's very true, very true. Yeah. So, all right, we
talked about the field of sixty eight guys, Jeff Goodman
and Rob Doster went to practice yesterday, got to talk
to coach Pope and a lot of the players. I'm
just gonna go down some stuff that they talked about
in the Crazy podcast from the back seat of Jack
Pilgrim's car. Yeah, and you guys, both of you want
to comment on it him. The one thing I think
was Jeff Goodman who said, make no mistake about it,

(13:04):
this is Jalen Lowe's team. He is the leader. It's
his team. They go as he goes. Yeah, and I
think that's what everybody wanted to hear, because Pope's system historically,
if he's got a good point guard to run it,
it can go. And we saw when la Mott Butler
last year was healthy how good this team could be run.
And then of course they got into trouble with injuries

(13:25):
at that point guard position. But the way that Jalen
can really effectively run this Pope system, I think people
are going to love because last year at Pitt he
had to be a guy who shot all the shots,
the good shots, the bad shots, whatever. He can work
on being a distributor this year. And we got to
interview him once in the summer and it was great
hearing from him because that's what he wants to do.

(13:45):
Like he seems like one of those past first point guards.
He wants to distribute the ball, and he's on a
team right now that he's going to have so many options,
so many guys he can get the ball to. Shannon.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
Yeah, I mean, I think that's what you want to hear.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
He's the guy that's going to, you know, make the
offense go, and I think that a lot of the
offense is gonna go through he and Otega away as
long as we can get away healthy. But to the
point on Oway with that turf toe, he said that
if it were like a game today or tomorrow, he
would be able to play, So we don't have to worry
about it. I don't think about Oway's indect very much.

(14:19):
But but yeah, I think a lot of that offense
is going to go through those two guys.

Speaker 4 (14:22):
I agree. And can you imagine when you get those
two on the floor together. Yes, Like I mean that
that is a one to two punch that any team
in America would take with with Jalen and Otega, we're
talking about Jaalen and Otega. Both Rob and Jeff both
emphasize several times that there are seven perimeter players that
not just can't play, are gonna play seven different guys

(14:44):
that may be as deep a backcourt as we've ever
had here. Well, there was a previous coach at the
school that didn't play seven players. That's a good point, complete,
I mean, at all positions, and so you've got you've
got the ability to put seven guys in. I think
Jalen and Otaga are gonna eat up most of those minutes.
But you're right, I mean, you've got to find a
way to get Aberdeen into the game. I mean, he

(15:05):
was on a national championship team. Lot h Yuere. I
think Jasper Johnson is another guy who you know he's
gonna play. He's got this upside that maybe some of
these other guys don't have. But he doesn't have the experience.
I mean, there's gonna be a lot of guys who
come in thinking that they've got a lot of minutes.
They've got to share minutes. But I think most of
these guys understand that.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
Shannon, Yeah, I mean, Pope believes that he is deep,
and I mean super deep. One through thirteen. He mentioned
you were talking about the seven perimeter players. He's got
seven guys, he says in practice this is hard to believe,
but he says, they're shooting seventy percent from three. Yeah,
including Yeleovich, who is shooting seventy seven percent this past
week in practice from three. If I don't think that's
going to translate to seventy percent in gameplay. If so,

(15:46):
then we've got an NBA team on our hands and
we're gonna win the National Championship if we've got guys
that can shoot that well in the game. But just
to hear that even in practice, I think is amazing.
So I think that this is going to be maybe
the best three point shooting team we've ever had. He's
that he wants to break that record of most three
pointers made in a single season. If he's got guys
that can shoot that, well, I think we're we're on

(16:06):
our way to seeing that happen this season.

Speaker 4 (16:09):
One more point than we're gonna go to the phone
line where you're talking about Yellowvich. You know. Yeah, he
did say, guys, he's been shooting seventy seven percent from
threes during practice and oh, by the way, he's six'. Ten,
yeah they're like a better. VERSION i think it might
have been a. Goodness he'll be a better version of
Than Andrew carr. Was. Wow, yeah he's the guy THAT
i think a lot of people want to see because

(16:29):
he's like the great, mystery you, know and we don't
have to go too far back in the past to,
see Like Asvannimir vsitch and people were so excited to
see what he could. Do and everything That i've heard
Is yellowch is further along at this point in his
career Than vsitch ever. Was So yellovich is going to
be a guy, that, like like you, said The Andrew carr,
Roll yeah that, way uh. Huh AND i think that's
how they DESCRIBED i think that's How goodman described him

(16:51):
on that on that. Podcast BUT i think he can
do more than What andrew. DID i, mean he can
step out take the. Shots he Can we've seen a
lot of vid from his league across wherever it WAS
bmx or whatever it was, Called and he can get
the ball to the. RIM i, mean and he's he's a,
talented talented. PLAYER i think he's one of those players
That pope just loves to have in as system because

(17:13):
he can do so much with him in a way
that he's like a, unicorn.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
Right, yeah the guy's already a.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
Pro and WHEN i think, of you, Know, YELLOWVICH i
can't help but think of a visage right in my.
Mind that's SO i can't wait to see him actually
to play a. Game BUT i just imagine him going
out there and having every game like A visa's first
game against was It georgia where he came out and
knocked down like three straight three point.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
Shots SO i can't wait to see.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
HIM i think he's probably the guy That i'm really
most intrigued to see.

Speaker 4 (17:41):
Eight five nine two two two eighty. Seven we'll get
back to some more comments about the practice from yesterday
That Jeff goodman And Rob dostter got to. Witness but
we've got a phone, Caller shannon who he. Got go To, Andy,
andy go, Ahead.

Speaker 6 (17:51):
Andy, hey what's?

Speaker 7 (17:53):
Up?

Speaker 6 (17:53):
Guy?

Speaker 4 (17:54):
Andy herero With LEE. K howard Today And, hey.

Speaker 6 (17:57):
How you guys.

Speaker 4 (17:58):
Doing we're? Good?

Speaker 6 (18:00):
Good yeah for asking. Anything. WEDNESDAY i just had a question,
about uh on college game day will they do the
kick for the money the college players do before the?
Games he Got pat McAfee and all them And pat McAfee,
saying if this guy hits that, KICK i will donate
one hundred thousand dollars and then whoever matches, it and then,

(18:23):
uh they do the? Charity do they, Really pat, McAfee
really donate one hundred thousand dollars out of his? Account
have a goodness of its? HARD i have trouble believe in.

Speaker 4 (18:32):
That. OH i didn't see that's the question coming, Ay
BUT i guess if he puts his money where his mouth,
is his his mouth's getting him in trouble because somebody hits.
IT i guess he's got to come up with that
somehow or every, week but how many guys actually hit.

Speaker 6 (18:48):
It it's HAPPENED i think twice already.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
Twice the THING i, MEAN i don't know What pat McAfee's.
Making i'm sure he's making good.

Speaker 4 (18:58):
Money i'm sure he's making.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
Money and what two hundred thousand dollars means, Them so.

Speaker 4 (19:03):
Yeah he's he's probably in the shin and the dude money.
Category so he's he's got he's got, plenty he's got
plenty and he can throw.

Speaker 3 (19:09):
Around in that case is then he's. Bankrupt now thanks
for the.

Speaker 6 (19:12):
Calling, Anyway well he's all right eight.

Speaker 4 (19:16):
Five nine two two eighty. Seven if you want to
call and get on, board we'll get to get you in.
Here maybe it's like one of those things where you,
know you see the half court shot and you, know
like a rapet's At Central bank half court, shot, right
and basically they buy an insurance policy where it's like
a one hundred thousand, dollars but the insurance policy THAT
uk has to buy is like a hundred. Bucks so
maybe maybe there's some sort of like insurance policy that

(19:36):
that McAfee has that if if he spends one hundred
dollars then. Somebody i'm just, guessing BUT i can't imagine
he's giving away one hundred thousand. Dollars i's gotta be a,
sponsor probably gonna, right, yeah out of his own bank,
account because every once in a. While this was the
thing that stood out to me this last week at
GAME i think it was last week or maybe the week.
Before the kid that they picked out of the stands
actually was wearing football cleats like He it was almost

(19:58):
like he came, Prepared, like how do you pick that?
Guy because you know he can hit? It and he
did hit. It, yeah, yeah he hit. It he's probably
a kicker at some high school or small college or something. Somewhere,
Right so eight five nine two o two two eight,
seven all. Right you know we'd mentioned about kind of
The newsy thing that came out of their podcast yesterday
was battle tagging the turf. Hole the other kind Of
newsy item was the fact That Colin chandler was told

(20:19):
him that he was basically hurt most of the year last.
Year you, know he really came on at the end
of the. SEASON i guess maybe that's when he finally was.
Healthy you, know he's got the slow start because he
was on his mission and kind of you, know getting
the rush. Off but maybe he you, know was injured
and the wisalls didn't know. It once he got, healthy
then we saw the results of what he can. Be
drew has already gone on records and he expects that's

(20:41):
the big breakout, player the guy that makes the big
jump this. Year where do you See Colin chandler fitting into? What?
Uh after what you heard? Yesterday, yeah it makes sense
what they, said because you could see kind of the
trajectory Of colin throughout the, year and it felt like
the last month month and a half he got really,
good you, know and a lot of that we we
all kind of attributed to, well he hasn't played basketball
in a year or, two, yeah you, know and so

(21:02):
like he had to get his legs under. Him but
if it was, true Like Jeff goodman said that he
was injured for part of it and part of that
was just him getting, healthy then then look out because
he he was LIKE i can remember That fandy game in,
particular he came out in rep and played really really
well and looked like he would. Well he took Over
Travis perry spot at the backup point he did at that,

(21:23):
Point so if he can make another, leap AND i
think it was Either dosta Or goodman yesterday talked about
kind of how bouncy he, is how athletic he, Is,
yeah talking about How moboy. Was, YEAH i THINK i
think there's a lot that That chandler can. Do SO
I i Like, SHANNON i, like what What Colin chandler
can bring to the.

Speaker 5 (21:42):
Name.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
YEAH i, mean if you go back to last, season
he was a guy THAT i didn't think really would
get any significant playing time at, all and at the
end of the year he's one of our best players
on the. Floor SO i feel like he brings so
much to the. Team he makes it difficult For pope
to keep him on the. Bench he almost forces you
to play. Him AND i think that he is going
to have a big role in this.

Speaker 3 (21:58):
Team.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
NOW i don't, know like if you to say how
many minutes is he going to? GET i don't know about,
that BUT i think that he will continue to have
a significant role on this.

Speaker 4 (22:05):
Team AND i think he's kind of in a, way
he's kind of the backup point guard right right Because
tobby Ham Er, aberdeen one of the two guys, Exactly
AND i, think LIKE i said, Earlier lowe was going
to demand the majority of those. Minutes but you gotta
have somebody behind, him and that's the only obvious. Position
the position that doesn't have an obvious backup behind him
Is jalen Low. Yeah they, said like you, said more mobile,

(22:27):
guarding better. Confidence seems to be. Up so If drew's,
right we get sick a big breakout, season sophomore season

cheeseburger start talking about trying to go get a.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
Cheeseburger, immediately we gotta go get a. CHEESEBURGER i gotta
find that. Drop i'll play it.

Speaker 4 (26:05):
For, you all, right all? Right eight five nine two
two two eight. Seven that's the car's pumpy shot phone.
Number who we got?

Speaker 8 (26:10):
Chanted?

Speaker 4 (26:10):
John? John go, Ahead, John.

Speaker 7 (26:14):
Hey, fellas how are?

Speaker 4 (26:15):
You how are?

Speaker 5 (26:16):
You?

Speaker 7 (26:16):
John my biggest news THAT i took away from the
interviews was That Colin chandler said that during a scrimmage,
Yesterday Cam williams hit ten three pointers in a. Row
they just kept feeding him and he hit ten three
pointers in a row during his.

Speaker 4 (26:38):
Scrimmage, Yeah Pregeant funk, call that's on my list to discuss.
It so let's talk about. That Cam, williams a guy
we never talk, about and when we talk about everybody,
else he's the one guy that probably got gets lost
in the shuffle more than. Anybody and it comes out
that he hit ten threes in a row during the. Scrimmage,
NOW i want to piggyback that by saying one of
THE tvt GUYS i don't remember who it, was came
on this show and said That Cam williams is a

(27:00):
better shooter Than Kobe. Brea can we believe how much
dock we put into. THIS i, mean that's tough Because
kobe was a knockdown shooter AND i Think cam has
a little bit more to his. Game first of, all
the reason that nobody talks about him if you, remember
he committed While kentucky was still in the. TOURNAMENT i
remember standing In indianapolis and it was like we were
getting ready for another life, hit and it was, like, oh,

(27:20):
Yeah kentucky just got to, commit and it Was Cam.
Williams SO i think his timing on when he, committed
and then the fact that he's from From, tulane it
kind of got lost in the. Shuffle BUT i do,
remember like early on he was one of the guys
that people were talking. About he has the potential to
be AN nba guy just because of his skill. Set
so it doesn't surprise me that he's a guy that
can knock down ten threes in a. ROW i, mean

(27:42):
that's who. Knows if he's better Than kobe or, not
that'll be to be. Determined but if he, can that's
a that's a. Weapon you got to get that guy
on the, Floor, shanning and you go on and hit
ten threes in a scrimmage.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
GAME i Think pope's gonna have the problem of trying
to figure out how to divide the minutes when you
got this many guys that can knock down three point
shots for. YOU i mean we just mentioned. Seven you
can only play. Five so how do you keep everybody?
Happy that might be his biggest struggle this year is
trying to keep everybody.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
Happy and here's your. Drop by the, way if you're, cheeseburger.

Speaker 4 (28:10):
Immediately we leave, here when you had to go to
get a cheat, burger that's really. Funny make fun of
the poor man who's on an anesthesia from his first
colonosky one more time More immediately when we leave, here
we end to go to get a cheat burger because
you can't eat for like two days leading up to.
It i've had, One, yeah SO i was. Hungry, MAN
i don't need a. Cheeseburger so why you agreed to

(28:30):
have that on the? RADIO i have no. Idea, yeah
well we, know lee. K we've not done it. Once
we've done it. Twice oh, wow live in the recovery
room after my.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
Kolonoscopy SO i feel like the second time it wasn't that,
eventful was?

Speaker 4 (28:43):
It? No because REMEMBER i Think i've kind of fell
asleep even in the middle of, it and it was, like,
oh we lost, him he's, asleep, Yeah and they had
to kind of wake me back. UP i was really
out of it that. Day did somebody have a cheeseburger
waiting on you the moment you woke? Up, no but
they should.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
Have if somebody was, smart they would use that as
an endorsement opportunity and have a cheeseburger.

Speaker 4 (28:59):
There, yeah well you got a. YEAR i turned sixteen next,
year so we'll do it next. Year or maybe stocked
Maybe Stockton mortgage could have a read for you ready
to read the moments you can come.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
Out of the walk out the door, Here, ryan read,
this read, this and.

Speaker 4 (29:10):
Then they can use that as their. Read, well you, Know,
SHANNON i Think Stockton mortgage is sponsoring this segment, anyway aren't?

Speaker 3 (29:15):
They, yes they.

Speaker 4 (29:16):
Are So i'm gonna tell you About Stockton. MORTGAGE a
good segue, there lee. K you, know the interest rates
are lower now than they've been in three. Years they're
like it's six point, one maybe six point. Two, uh
there's a chance they may be going lower with what's
going on with The. Fed so if you've been on
the fence waiting on the interest rates to, drop they
may not get any lower than this for a long.
Time who, knows but they are they're low right. Now

(29:39):
so if you, wonder if you're thinking about, it you
ought at least go get pre. Approved and our friends
That Stockton mortgage can help. You just go To stockton dot.
Com there's a button there to get, started the hook
you up with the loan. Officer they're all, Great they're
all Across kentucky and they're everywhere Because, shannon they are,
growing Growing Stockton, Mortgage stocking dot com IN MLS a
two five, nine equahalsy lendar AND mls equal access dog
WORD u, Uh. Channa do you remember a couple of

(30:02):
days ago that a caller called in and said he
was on an overseas flight And Mark pope was on the.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
Plane oh, yeah, yeah, YEAH i do remember.

Speaker 4 (30:08):
That, well it's come out that maybe we know why
he was flying overseas his. DAUGHTER i believe it Was.
EMORY i think he's not The emery is In El
salvador on a mission trip and had to have an emergency,
appendectomy And POPE i think went down to see. Her
SO i think that answers the question why he was
on an overseas. Flight he was flying down to sit

(30:32):
at bedside with his. Daughter they had emergency surgery down.
THERE i do think that one of his daughters is
on her on the mission and maybe that's that's what that.
Is but it's emory or. Avery maybe. Avery, okay, ay
there you, go but, no, NO i mean. Who i'm
Sure pope is on a plane almost every other day like.
So and he's the type of guy too that can
drop everything blink of an, eye throw some stuff in

(30:55):
the backpack and go and not even think twice about.
It AND i think we've seen him do that with
a recruiting and of course it went at your. Daughter she.
Down i'm sure she was scared by herself emergency. Surgery
he wants to go be with his baby, Girl. Shannon,
No i'm, Sorry i'm. SORRY i was taking a phone call.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
There, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
Yeah but that, explains, though why why he was on that.
PLANE i think was It france or something like. That
he said he was on his way back FROM i can't,
remember but the colleague.

Speaker 4 (31:19):
CAN'T i can't remember where he said it, was but
that could explain Why pope was on an overseas. Flight
if he was on that, one somehow a connection or
something to go see as his. Daughter of, course every
other college coach In america, Thinks, okay, now who's he recruiting?
Overseas who's your recruiting in L? Salvador? Exactly who's pope?
AFTER i think, that you, know the college basketball game
is becoming more and more international every, day so you,

(31:40):
know maybe he stopped. BY i saw his, daughter went,
over checked out a few. Locals he's down, there you,
know you, know might as well pick up, game check
out the. Talents, yeah they got going In El. SALVADOR
i can't imagine there's you, know great. Recruits but he's
a good. Development it's very. True he can he can
develop a. Guy why not eight five nine two two
two eighty? Seven who he? Got Shannon Allen, alan go, Ahead, Allen.

Speaker 5 (32:01):
Hey, GUYS i actually got to Meet lee k this
weekend at a tailgate and his family and, nice nicest
people and really enjoy getting to talk to. Them But
i'm a big steph mcgallan fan on this team and
his running. STYLE i really think we got to keep
leaning into that to Let cutter kind of continue to.
DEVELOP i love the way he pushes it down the.

(32:22):
FIELD i think it's gonna make us win a big
game this. Year BUT i also think it's going to
cause us to lose one due to. Turnovers if we
were somehow to get a big, win would you guys
rather Have georgia on the road Or texas at?

Speaker 4 (32:34):
Home good phone? Call? Uh you, Know texas maybe looks
so maybe a Little beata bull with Arch manning struggling
a little, Bit i'd like my chances at home more
than on the road At. Georgia what do you guys?
THINK i, MEAN i think either win would be obviously
program shifting in a way that Because georgia's Had kentucky's.
NUMBER i think, though just because The texas game is

(32:55):
At Kroger, field, HUH i THINK i would prefer that. One,
yeah just because you would give the fan base a
chance to. Celebrate and how long has it been Since
kentucky's had a chance to celebrate a HOME sec. WIN
i mean it's been a. While, yeah they're three in
their three in their last three wins in their last
eleven games or, something a home game something like. That
it's some crazy. Stats it's not. Good And texas has

(33:18):
never played In, lexington so this would be their introduction To.
LEXINGTON I either win would be, awesome BUT i think
if there's some way that they could Beat texas at
home in a couple of. WEEKS i think that would
be the one that Most kentucky fans would, like just
because they would be. There, shant what do you?

Speaker 3 (33:35):
THINK i feel like that probably is the most winnable
of the. Two you win.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
That we're rushing the, field we're pulling up the go,
posts we're getting, fined you know.

Speaker 4 (33:42):
What but, that yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
Good what better way to break that losing streak at
home AN sec play than than to be the top ten.
Team so if had the, TOYS i would definitely take
The texas game at.

Speaker 4 (33:52):
Home texas fans are gonna Pack Kroger. Field It's, Keenland
they're gonna come, up do the Whole keenland football game.
Weekend it's Arch. Manning it's on your home. Field and
LIKE i, SAID i think the correkstats they've won three
of their last FOURTEEN sec home, games are three and
eleven in their last FOURTEEN sec home. Games that's not.
Good that's not. Good so you're able to Beat texas
at home absolutely blows the roof off the. Place. Yeah

(34:13):
allen's good, people by the. WAY i enjoyed enjoyed meeting
him at the tailgate. Two, uh he said it with your.
Family do you actually have a day? Off, no because
it was a night. GAME i went over there and
we tailgated before the. Game. Yeah AND i went and.
Worked then you went and worked the. Game there we.

Seventies i'm sure there are gonna be.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
A bunch OF I and that was fifty years.

Speaker 4 (35:03):
Ago but, okay you don't think sixty year old women
still remember what they felt like when they Saw Sean
cassidy in the.

Speaker 3 (35:08):
SEVENTIES i, MEAN i GUESS i don't.

Speaker 4 (35:09):
Know oh yeah's your?

Speaker 3 (35:11):
Demo you tell?

Speaker 4 (35:11):
Me do you even know Who Sean cassidy?

Speaker 2 (35:13):

yeah so not, really but sort of know that he.
Exists but, okay home and listen to this. Stuff here's your, Challenge.
Shannon this is his.

Speaker 4 (35:27):
Hit can you find another song By Sean cassidy to
play in the second?

Speaker 2 (35:30):
Hour i'm gonna guess my answer is, NO i can
find another song to. Play but will anybody know? It probably.

Speaker 4 (35:36):
Not he'll be telling. You he was huge in like
the early to mid, seventies has a teen heart, throb
And shannon AND i weren't around in the early to mid. Sight,
NO i, Was, yeah we have an early eighties that's
where that's WHERE i came. Along, yeah look our bartenders
looking at us like some crazy look, like who are
they talking? About what in the world are they talking?
About eight five, nine, two two to eighty seven at

(35:57):
the cars pumps shot phone number before we go to
the phone, Lines, SHANE i got Ask shannon's, question he's
The vanderbilt.

Speaker 3 (36:02):
Guy what's up you, GET i already know what you're gonna.

Speaker 4 (36:06):
ASK i, mean his like agent and people were trying
to petition THE ncaaa for a seventh season of. ELIGIBILITY i,
mean it's not unheard. Of our Quarterback Za calzada is
in his seventh season of, eligibility but he hasn't played
every year, either, right SO i Guess calzada then tweeted
out a cap like no cap like this is? False

(36:29):
so what since you're The vandy, authority what's going on over?
THERE i don't know.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
EXACTLY i also don't know how we got to the
point to where guys can play or be even in college, football,
basketball whatever it may, be for seven, Years like you,
know you used to, hear of course all the time
about a fifth year.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
Senior then it went to. Six then THE.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
Covid thing, happened and then years got mixed, up AND
i mean we're past that, now, Right, SO i, MEAN
i don't even know how you can get to seven
years of. Playing Has Diego pavia played all those previous?
Years i'm not, Sure like that's the thing he. Played
he played two years and a. Juco they're trying to
wipe those two years. Clean one of them got wipe.
Clean they're trying to wipe the other one clean.

Speaker 3 (37:06):
Clean why wouldn't you wipe the other?

Speaker 4 (37:07):
Clean, WELL i guess it's not the it's not THE
ncaa rule right. NOW i THINK i think his argument,
was AND i believe he played At New Mexico Junior
college Or New. Mexico, no, no, no he played At
New Mexico Military, institute WHICH, i by the, WAY i
grew up In New. Mexico you're In New mexico. Guy
SO i think what his argument is that those junior
colleges are not under the jurisdiction of the N c DOUBLE,

(37:30):
a so they shouldn't count toward his N c DOUBLE.
A uh Years like that's that's kind of like whether.

Speaker 3 (37:37):
Anti trust law or something that's involved with. THIS i
Think i'm not really.

Speaker 4 (37:40):
Sure yeah, so but but but To shannon's, point at some,
point you've got to move. On and maybe it's something
With tennessee The state Of, tennessee because this this feels
Like Zekai ziegler with no kidding with the petitioned THE
ncaa for another your availability and lost. Right and and
the thing about it now is these guys are making
so much. Money the pobby is probably looking at, this,
GOING i come back for a seventh, year get a

(38:02):
couple of Mill, YEAH i can bank compared to, like
he's probably not a Draftable crafel quarterback just because of
his size and. Such but, yeah LIKE i took four
and a half years and my parents were looking at
me sideways like are you ever gonna like, like, hey
we were planning on. Four what's what's this next semester all?
About and you, know, seven that's a Old by that,

(38:22):
time he's got a doctorate and he's probably teaching. Classes
but you're, right he can make more money At vandy
than he could be in on the practice squad for
The Buffalo bills or. Something you. Know oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 (38:32):
Yeah whatever he does after, this WHICH i assume is
not going to BE i, MEAN i guess it could
be pro football in a different you, know maybe like
arena football or something like. That you, Know jared did
that for a. While, yeah but you're not gonna MAKE
i don't. THINK i don't think those guys make that
kind of money in that, league do. They so he's
probably gonna make a lot more money At vandy for
another year than you would in any other facet of.

Speaker 4 (38:52):
Life, yeah AND i think football is the sport that
you're going to see more of this in because kind
of like What shannon when it is alluding, to there's
not like there's not a minor league system of. Football
some of these other little pop up leagues have come,
up like THE xfl and some of those, That, yeah
guys can go play in, it but it's not a
feeder system into THE nfl Like Major League. Baseball it's
a minor league, system, right THE NBA G league feature THE.

(39:14):
Nba so you can be a decent athlete in college
and still find your way work your way up into
a pro league like THE nba or THE. Mlb if
you're not one of those top, guys particularly a, quarterback
because there's only a handful of them in THE. Nfl
if you're not one of those top, guys then, YEAH
i can see why you want to be in college
your entire make some, money make some, money and then

(39:35):
you can go, work you, know do whatever you want
you after that and you're financially set Af i'm nine
two o two two eighty. Seven who's our? Collars shannon's

where he, uh the doctor who was going to do
this emergency surgery on his daughter was he was a veteran,
