Speaker 3 (00:59):
Welcome to our too of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by
Stockton Mortgage. Now Here's Matt Jones welcome back.

Speaker 4 (01:05):
I remember two Kentucky Sports Radio A five, nine, two, eight,
twenty two eighty seven. Here live Basketball Media Day starts.
Mark Pope will speak at noon, I believe and we will.
We If you go to Kentucky Sports Radio dot com
and social media will be telling you what he says,
that should be good. But we are here in gym
and this, this really is the renovation. Absolutely beautiful here,

(01:28):
isn't it it is? I need to get uh to volleyball.

Speaker 5 (01:31):
I saw some women's basketball here last year, but I
need to get in here and watch this volleyball team
that's undefeated in conference play.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
Playing great, one of the top five teams in the country.
I just found out not only is Dale sites yes,
the Denham Warrior of Henderson, I went to college with
his daughter. Didn't even know. I remember her name was
I think Ellie, and she was in college with me
at Trancy, and I had no idea that her dad
was a Denim king. Still don't have proof that he's
the reason we had Denham uniforms. But but but we do.

(02:01):
I think all the other parts are true, So who knows.
Maybe truth was right.

Speaker 5 (02:04):
Can you reach out to her and ask if old dad.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
Really you have talked to her since since we since
we graduated. But I'm sure she's I hope she's doing great.
And yeah, reach out Ellie if you if if you're
if that was your dad, I'd like to know.

Speaker 5 (02:17):
It's a good story to tell. I don't want to
get in the way of Henderson's uh little legendary story.

Speaker 4 (02:21):
I'm sure if I'm sure, if they have where the uniforms,
that story will come out in the next three months
and you can say you heard it first from the
Truth eight five nine, twenty two eighty seven. The caller
asked there at the end of the first hour, who,
uh what I would do if I was Mitch. I mean,
first of all, I don't think you make any changes.
I don't think that does anything right now. I think

(02:43):
you finished the season. I think if things really fall apart,
you try to get a resolution before the end of
the season to do one of those things, maybe like
you did with Joker, where like the Tennessee Tech game,
you could kind of get everybody to actually show support
for for what he's done over the years. I don't
know that they would do that. I'm not sure stupents
would even agree to that, But that's what I would do.

(03:04):
I think no matter what, if you're Mitch Barnhart, you
have to start preparing for the contingency that you might
have to do stuff. So you have to figure out
the financial part of it. You also have to figure
out where would you want to go, and I think
that part is important. I think they're going. I think
the good thing is I think they have a lot
of options, right, I mean, I think you have two
of the hottest coaching candidates in the country have connections

(03:26):
to your school, right in John Summer and Will Snein.
I mean they both have and then Brian Hartline's brothers here, right,
So you can make an argument three of the five
hottest young candidates for jobs and big time jumps are
all connected to Kentucky. When's that ever happened? Probably? Right? Yeah,
I mean that's kind of amazing. So, like, dude, you

(03:50):
should be able to get someone this time. I mean,
with this, with that many you got three strikes at
at at hot apples.

Speaker 5 (03:57):
And we talk about the disadvantages here, but coaches want
to get in the sec they do. This is a
destination job. It's not a destination job. When Alabama and
Florida or LSU are open, but compared to the rest
of the country, people want to get into this conference,
so I think you can go out and get a
lot of good names. There's just one other angle with
all this moving forward, as if if Bowley keeps making

(04:18):
a bit of a jump.

Speaker 4 (04:19):
I think he's played well. I think he's improved every time.

Speaker 5 (04:21):
Let's say he just starts looking good and they're still losing,
You've got the awkward like you got to keep him
around and you almost have to take his opinion.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
And all this too, you do you know, I don't, Well,
you have to say, let me, let's see what happens
the rest of the year. If he continues to be good,
then I do think you take his opinion in if
he's if he's just average, you don't let that make
the decision. Now, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (04:46):
If he keeps making that because from South Carolina to Georgia,
he made a big jump, and if he makes a
few more jumps before the season's over a redstart freshman,
you start thinking maybe we get an offensive coach with
some fire and just try to ride the Bowley wave
into this next era.

Speaker 4 (04:59):
Yeah, Shennon's gonna play something here. So yesterday, yesterday I
was on ESPN for Matt Myron and we had Shannon
Eduardo Perez. Do you know who EDWARDO. Perez?

Speaker 3 (05:11):
He the same Ed Water used to catch with the Braves.

Speaker 4 (05:15):
He did, and he's also I don't know if you know,
he's one of the big announcers on ESPN now right,
So he does games for ESPN and he's like a
regular guest on Matt Myron when baseball is in the news.
So we had him on because he was calling the
Yankees Blue Jays game that day, and I interviewed him
and I had to be dropped twice on national radio.

(05:35):
I've never cussed on that. I don't know how many
times I've had to be dropped here in fifteen years,
maybe twice or he maybe once or twice. This time, though,
is not my fault. This guy's name is not easy
to pronounce. And I want to play you the sequence
with me interviewing Eduardo Perez and the the I got
dropped twice on ESPN. Go ahead, first, gotta do a

(05:58):
little baseball. Edward Perez, ESPN's Major League Baseball analysts will
be on the call for Yankees Blue Jays on ESPN Radio.
The Yankees lost ten to one last night, Eduardo, You no,
my Reds ended up sneaking in the playoffs, so I've
been paying more attention to them even though they're already out.
And I want to you're doing Yankees Blue Jays. I

(06:19):
want to go back to Game three of Yankees Red
Sox for a second. How great was that pitching performance
by the guy for the Yankees? I think clur whatever
his name is. How great was his performance?

Speaker 6 (06:34):
Yeah, Cam Schlittler.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
Yeah, I may have said that incorrectly. Do you want
to keep going? Yeah, I go back about let's not
focus on how I said it, and let's look at it.
How good a pitcher he was?

Speaker 7 (06:50):
Yeah, if we focus about how you said it, it
looked like the red performance.

Speaker 4 (06:59):
Twice. So okay, that happens, Drew. Sometimes you know, you
can't it's it's it's I still don't want to say
it again. I can't say it.

Speaker 5 (07:09):
You gotta have the l in there.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
Splitler s Slitler.

Speaker 5 (07:13):
There you go.

Speaker 4 (07:14):
But you know it happens. Sometimes you can't pronounce the
name and then you end up getting dropped. Twice.

Speaker 5 (07:19):
That was funny by itself, but Myron's laughter took it
to another level.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
It is a great laughs, a great laugh.

Speaker 5 (07:27):
But you're trying, you know, you're on the spot. Sure
you didn't get it exactly right. But also ed wardo
Perez playing along too, like if well, that's that's how
the Red Sox played whatever?

Speaker 4 (07:39):
He said, Yeah, no, that was a really good, good line.
The second thing before we go to the phones, what
about this Mark Sanchez story is wild? Wold? I mean,
let let's update where the story is now. Okay, this
up this, let's update where the story is now? He
and you tell me if I'm wrong about this? He was.

(08:00):
It was twelve thirty at night, Mark Sanchez was doing
wind sprints in the alley.

Speaker 5 (08:05):
In downtown Indy.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
Start right, That was exactly. That was the hotel, Shannon,
I were you at our postgame show after we lost
to Tennessee. That was you realize where Mark Sanchez happened?
That was that hotel?

Speaker 8 (08:20):
Oh no, I didn't realize that.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
Yes, that's where this all happened. Was the hotel where
my mom's hotel where we stayed and did the thing. Yeah,
that is where this was. For the postgame show. He
was in the alley doing wind sprints. Then just start there.
You've been out at night, Shannon at twelve thirty and
we're like, you know what, let me do a wind sprint.

Speaker 8 (08:41):
No, maybe a walk, but in the alley.

Speaker 4 (08:45):
Of a hotel. In the alley of a hotel, he's
doing wind sprints.

Speaker 5 (08:50):
It's a bunch of competitive games in a city.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
He doesn't live in, by the way, like he's there
for work. He's there for work. You know, I've been
on work trips. I was with Frost Brown Todd. We
didn't do any wind sprints when I was doing document
review in Hot Springs, Arkansas. And kind of a job.

Speaker 5 (09:07):
I'm not irreplaceable because they were able to get someone in.
But pretty big job you got coming up on Sunday.

Speaker 4 (09:12):
A lot of people can talk. You know, you're pretty
lucky to have this job. So he's doing wind sprints.
A guy is he has French fry oil and he's
dumping it from the restaurant inside the marrio. Also a
random just group of words right there. That's a job.
That's I don't understand. Sanchez tries to get in his car.

(09:33):
Why do we think that happened?

Speaker 5 (09:34):
This is me speculating, but Sanchez told him he couldn't
park there, which makes me think he was literally still
trying to do his wind sprints when this guy's truck
pulled up, Like we're doing windsporo or do you think
he got in the way of the winds Because this
isn't me spec it does say that Sanchez told him
he couldn't park there. This guy who for a living
drives around and dispose of waste for restaurants. I figured

(09:55):
he'd probably done it before, So in my brain I
have a visual off Sanchez like we are wind springs.
He cannot pull up right now, it's twelve thirty. But
when you put the details together, that's not crazy. He's
wind sprinting, he says, don't work there. You're probably right.

Speaker 4 (10:07):
I didn't think of that. So and then there's a
you know, the man is sixty nine years old, dude.

Speaker 5 (10:13):
This is not just the man out working thirty.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
This is a sixty nine year old man with French
fried oil at six at twelve thirty at night. He
tries to get in his truck. Next thing you know,
there's an altercation. They both end up stabbing each other.
Sanchez is labeled as the aggressor, they both get messed up.
I mean, the pictures of the older guy look awful.

(10:37):
Apparently Sanchez walked into a bar and was just bleeding everywhere.

Speaker 5 (10:43):
The man's quoted as saying, I thought he was gonna
kill me, Like, how could you get that mad? Let's
say it's over his wind sprints. If you're a former
professional athlete, Sanche is probably about forty maybe a little
younger right at it? Whatever you're fighting about, I don't
even know how you can look up and see a
sixty seven year old man and think I should continue this.
If you're built like Sanchez and.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
Is a big guy, how are you fighting an old
man about anything? Was coming from a question I have, Shannon,
what is this like West Side story? Who is walking
all these switchblades?

Speaker 8 (11:20):
All right? It doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 5 (11:22):
There's a story that says the man Pepper sprayed Sanchez
first and didn't phase him, so he reached for a knife. Like,
how upset is Sanchez?

Speaker 4 (11:30):
Where this guy's chance has to dexicate it? You think
I would? I am I just I did not know
that people walked around with switchblades. It is a bizarre,
bizarre story and it kept changing because at first people
acted like like Sanchez got robbed, and then over time

(11:52):
it kept changing, and then people jumped in as they
always did. Dan Dakitch produced one of the more blatantly
raight his statements you see in public when he just goes, see,
this is what happens when you have young, fatherless African
American kids running around downtown. You know you're racist when

(12:13):
you just insert people that weren't even there, right, like
a fight between two white men over French fried Greece.
And he's just like, this is what happens when you
have fatherless African Americans running around town. And then when
people were like, hey, the facts don't support that, he
was like, so and that's his city, that it's the truth.

(12:33):
Oh well, first of all, no, it's not the truth.
But secondly, even if it were, it has nothing to
do with this situation whatsoever. It's like he was just
waiting for the He had that tweet sitting in his
draft shin and just waiting for the moment to get
to send it out. This feels like I have to
tell you, in terms of celebrity random things, that's one
of the more bizarre stories I've ever heard in my life.

Speaker 5 (12:56):
And we're still just piecing together parts and trying to figure.

Speaker 4 (13:02):
Got what's the video gonna look like?

Speaker 5 (13:04):
One gruesome if we heard all the details of how
buddy they both were. But I just don't. I can't
think of if I'm Mark Sanchez and I'm you know,
typical weekend, I'm traveling, I've got the game on Sunday. Sure,
I'm probably going out with my Fox colleagues at the
hotel bar, But I don't even think. I can't think
of a scenario where I would get into it with
a sixty.

Speaker 4 (13:21):
Sees you know who? You know who his partner was,
Chris Myers. It's always Chris Meyer. Poor Chris Myers.

Speaker 5 (13:29):
He finally gets a game outside of Carolina.

Speaker 4 (13:32):
That's exactly right. They finally give him a game that's
not in the AFC South. This is why they leave
him in Carolina in it like people can't behave around
Chris Myrs. This is why, this is why they do it. Poor,
I mean, what what an insane situation. Hopefully of both
of the guys, Sanchez and the older guy, hopefully they'll
both end up okay. Sanchez I thinks already have a

(13:54):
hospital I don't know about the other guy, but.

Speaker 5 (13:56):
You mentioned Docatch. This was the worst. But there was
a lot of just piling on this city of Indianapolis.
They're like tagging the mayor. And then out of nowhere,
the police dropped that statement like not so fast, my friend.
And the way they worded it was kind of like
everyone shut up. It says he was the only aggressor
arrest but I made up their mind.

Speaker 4 (14:13):
That was the hotel we were at with my mom.
That was the exact hotel, and like they acted like
it was in the mean streets. You remember, that's like
the brightest, nicest street in Indy.

Speaker 5 (14:23):
Like, I know that area really well. That corner, there's
a few bars there, probably was in I don't know
which one he was in.

Speaker 4 (14:29):
There's like a Mexican restaurant back there that might have
been where they were dumping the grease from.

Speaker 5 (14:33):
It's like a little tap tap room.

Speaker 4 (14:35):
Yeah, just a really, really really strange situation. Who's up next, Eric, Eric?
Go ahead? Eric.

Speaker 9 (14:44):
Hey, guys, so this is going back to football, and
I hate to drag us back there.

Speaker 4 (14:50):
That's okay, But me and.

Speaker 9 (14:53):
My father season ticket holders, you know, frustrated with the boneheaded,
running thirty seconds off the clock before we call the
time out and that kind of thing. I guess the
reason I'm calling that. You know, if we look ahead,
we've played Old Miss in Georgia, pretty good teams that

(15:16):
are way better than we are. Yes, and we are
in a brutal situation, right We're playing in the in
the toughest conference. We have teams that are superior pretty
much every week.

Speaker 7 (15:30):
But let's be real.

Speaker 9 (15:31):
I mean, we've got a young quarterback who's been thrown
to the fire. Yeah, and I was pretty impressed with Cutter.

Speaker 4 (15:38):
Okay, but just give me to your conclusion because I
might have to go to break Yeah.

Speaker 6 (15:41):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 9 (15:42):
So so in short, let's not give up on these guys. Okay,
we got Tennessee, Florida, Texas coming to Lexington book man,
who knows, who knows exactly?

Speaker 4 (15:53):
I completely agree with that sentiment, and I appreciate the call.
I completely agree with the cinement of there's seven more games,
let's cheer for why not? Like, what what do you
got to lose? So on that respect, I'm crazy. We
I genuinely think we're better than we were last year.
I just don't know if it's gonna matter, you know
what I mean. I do think we are marginally better

(16:13):
than we were last year. I just we'll see if
it has makes any difference in what the final result is.
If I'm nine to two eighth twenty two eighty seven,
we will take a break. Be right back here in UK.
It's KSR. Yeah. So uh. The Indianapolis police have just
said that he'll be charged with the class five filony,

(16:33):
which I guess the way they do it in Indiana
one to six years potentially in jail. So he's intoxicated.
One person, rights Matt, who does win sprints when they're intoxicated?
Great question. I've been around. I don't really get intoxicated,
but I've been around all three of you when you're intoxicated,
and I haven't seen one of you do win springs normally.
I'm trying to keep you all upright. I don't know

(16:55):
what is running during those periods.

Speaker 5 (16:57):
Well, one time it does tournament with our guy manning
his group. Everyone actually got in the alley and they
were gambling on wind sprints. Hearn, so I can't laugh
at Mark.

Speaker 4 (17:06):
So I did one time race Hubby Barefoot when he
was and I won, but he always says why I
was intoxicates.

Speaker 5 (17:15):
Remember Ryan raised his kid outside o Mariachi and fell
and messed up his knee. I think sometimes guys, when
we give a little bit of the sau sentis, we
get competitive.

Speaker 4 (17:24):
It's like, all right, that's I took ambient. I tried
to race people, I.

Speaker 5 (17:28):
Met, I met, I bet Sanchez checked for ambient in
his system, and he was like, all right, what's some
He was just trying to go.

Speaker 4 (17:36):
Maybe I was closer to these problems than than a
lot of people realized. If I'm nine two eight oh
twenty two eighty seven, this segment of spots a boy
corn bread hem. Now that that won't make you do
wind sprints, it'll help you relax. Took it last night
after our cover zero podcast, snoozed like a baby while
I felt I even fell asleep watching uh that show
what's it called Black Rabbit?

Speaker 10 (17:57):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (17:57):
I need to get into the dude law and Jason
Baten very dark. It is pretty dark, but you can.
You can. You can get your ressed with cornbredamp, cornredhimp
dot com. They got the Seltzers, they got the gummies,
they got everything you want. Promo code KSR for thirty
percent off your first order. Uh with with Corn Brett Hemp.
Let's let's let's before we go to the phones, let's talk
a little basketball here, since this is basketball media Day.

(18:20):
I'm so excited about this team. I think this team's
gonna be a lot of fun. I think you got
twelve dudes who can play. I think you've got depth
so that when you get the injuries during the year,
you're not crushed. I think Jalen low I mean the
person I'm gonna interview today. I haven't done an interview
and probably since COVID, but I think I'm gonna interview

(18:41):
Jalen low because I'm buying all the Jalen low stock
like I'm Warren Buffett of Jalen low stock. Okays, yeah,
I've bought it all because I think he's gonna be
a superstar this year. I think, you know Mark when
he was talking about the statistics of Jalen Lowe and saying, look, man,
he took too many bad shots. If we can just
keep the bad when he takes good shots, he's a

(19:01):
great shooter. I think he's gonna be able to distribute
the load. I'm going all in on Jalen Load. We
know what we have with otego away right. I love
the leadership of Mohammad of mo Dia Bate. If you
go to Kentucky Sports Radio dot com, the website, Tyler
Thompson has a great feature about him went up yesterday.
You should go check that out. You know, I'm excited
about the young kids. I'm excited about what we get

(19:24):
from from Jasper Johnson. Colin Chandler is gonna be really
good and I am pumped to watch it. I think
this He's a kid that probably even I was like,
I don't know, and now I believe in him one
hundred percent and I think he's gonna have a big year.
I'm looking at forward to Cam Williams. That's an NBA
player that we don't even really talk about being on

(19:46):
the roster. Trent Noah, I think is gonna provide good minutes.
My only concern is this is just from talking to people.
I haven't seen it, But does Brandon Garrison? Is he
taken the step up both in terms of maturity and
play that I do think this team needs. I think
this team needs Brandon Garrison to be good. If you
were to ask me, what is the one part of

(20:06):
the team that worries me. I think Lowe is gonna
be great. I think always gonna be great, and I
think between everybody else you will fill those other positions.
But I do think Brandon Garrison has to be good
because I think Moreno and Yellovich, while they will be contributing,
they can't be your centerpiece big. It's gonna have to
be Garrison. So that's my one concern. But otherwise, give

(20:27):
me all the jayl and Lowe stock. Give me guys.
Shooting I think will be as maybe not quite as
good as last year, but much more athletic shooting, or
much more athletic, even if we lose a little shooting,
and then I need Brandon Garrison to be good. What
about you.

Speaker 5 (20:40):
I mostly love the depth because there's a lot of
guys where we think they're gonna be good, but you know,
let's say they don't. It's like there's another one of them.
There's like two of everything but low And we've heard
nothing but good things about low so far as I'm
really not too concerned about him. But I just love
that later in the year when you get Quainton's back,
even if Garrison is a little behind, and I agree

(21:01):
with you, we need him to take a step forward.
I mean, you could just go yellowch and acquaintance, and
that even sounds good.

Speaker 4 (21:07):
I remember acquaintances. That's a whole nother thing. I'm not
putting him in, but that's a January February guy. But
you just think they're so deep that you think that
without though you know, last year we used to say
they've got to have la montbo and we kind of
that kind of ended up being the case to me
that we've got to have him. Got actually, oddly might

(21:29):
be Brandon Garrison, even though I think he's the fifth
or sixth best player. I just don't think you I
think these are those other guys. I don't know.

Speaker 5 (21:35):
I think he's gonna get his minutes taken anyway, So
you're not.

Speaker 4 (21:39):
If he if he ends up being a little disappointing,
you're not worried about it.

Speaker 5 (21:45):
Depends how disappointing. Just just be a little better than that. Now.
I'd love for him to make a huge jump and
you know, really stand out. We haven't heard a lot
that this summer. I just think that by the time
you get to win, quaintance is back and if Yellovich,
assuming he's able to play and look good, Marino could
give you minutes. That's my point about there's just so
much depth here that if a guy surprises us and

(22:06):
isn't reaching what we want him to be, I just
think the next guy up is probably gonna answer that
question just a really high floor, like whatever they they
we were talking about playing on Wednesday of the tournament
last year SEC. I don't see any scenario where in
the middle of the conference or anything.

Speaker 4 (22:18):
If I were to give you an MVP ratings of
the team at the end of the year, we ranked
the MVP. What's gonna be your top five? I'm gonna
go always gonna be one, but just barely over Jay
and Low. They're gonna be a high one two, mo
Diabate three, and then four through ten. Could go in
any order. That's gonna be my top three.

Speaker 5 (22:41):
Witch yours, I'll go way one Quaintance to Wow, so
you're you're expecting big things. He's a top five pick, Okay,
then Low then it's just wide open. I mean almost
said Colin Tambla.

Speaker 4 (22:56):
You're going You're going Quaintance to even though he might
I get on the team toll into January.

Speaker 5 (23:02):
Next June. He's a green room guy. We're gonna be
watching a quaintance with the suit on Andrew.

in the hospital for a long time? Have not?

Speaker 2 (24:07):

I was in the hospital for nine days few years ago.
When they let you out, you're excited. But what if
they let you out and then it's like, all right,
now go to prison. It's not as exciting.

Speaker 5 (24:19):
No, And I'm thinking about you know, sometimes you have
a night out and maybe you had a few too many.
The next day you just have the scaries, the anxiety.
People are like, hey, you remember, it's like, don't talk
to me. I just want to move on. He wakes
up with stab wounds and potentially a jail sentence from
the night out.

It's always a good time to buy. Why why is that?

Speaker 1 (25:38):
Well?

Speaker 11 (25:38):
You know, fall is usually a time where, you know,
basketball seasons around the corner. If you want a new
house to celebrate the season, you just you know.

Speaker 4 (25:46):
But are they I mean, are they a company that's
been in the community. Yeah, they're equal housing lenders. They
are an equal housing lender. That's right. Okay, well good
and uh, let me ask you a question. How's the market, dude?
The market is great? Man, is the best time it

(26:07):
could be? It is right now? Really, that's not what
I hear on the news though. What news are you on? Okay? Yeah?
By the chance, is the is the company like stagnant
or is it? Is it getting bigger?

Speaker 5 (26:20):
What's happening?

Speaker 4 (26:21):
It's always growing, It's always growing. Okay, I'm glad to
hear it. Right, So where do people go again?

Speaker 10 (26:26):
Uh?

Speaker 11 (26:27):
Stockton Mortgage NMLS uh fourteen eighty eight.

Speaker 4 (26:32):
Two five nine close, Thank you very much, Stockton dot Com.
Good job.

Speaker 5 (26:39):
Thought Ron was here.

Speaker 4 (26:41):
You know, he started with confidence. I was like, maybe
you overplace him. Things went off a little bit as
it went on. What's next? All right? David? Go ahead? David? Hey,
Matt hey, David? How are you good?

Speaker 6 (26:56):
Excited about I mean excited about football?

Speaker 4 (27:01):
Well? I think that's probably how most of the fan
base feels. David.

Speaker 6 (27:06):
Yeah, on a scout as round to ten? How excited
are you with this big blue madness compared to others?
Like I remember being this excited for the two thousand
and nine Yeah, I mean it's not a ten.

Speaker 4 (27:18):
It's not a ten that would be the John Wall
of those first couple, but I would say it's like
a seven. I mean, I'm probably I'm I'm more excited
than I have been in a lot of years. Yeah,
I mean, I'm looking forward to it. I want to
see this team. Uh and I like, you know, Mark,
I want to see what Mark does in his second year.
So yeah, as far as big Blue Madnesses go, I'm
I'm I'm pretty excited. Would you agree, Drew.

Speaker 5 (27:39):
Yeah, this one's a little different though, because like two
weeks later we get the number one team in the country.
So normally Madness is the big high so early in
October November. But it's a unique year where we got Purdue, Georgetown,
even Louisville.

Speaker 4 (27:51):
Not that it's on a Saturday night too, So I
mean that's kind of different and exciting. So yeah, I'm
excited about it. David.

Speaker 12 (27:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (28:00):
And also, is the first TV schedule out yet.

Speaker 4 (28:03):
The what schedule the basketball, not the full TV. We
don't have all the SEC games, but I think all
the non conference games TV is out. There's we talked
about five or six on the computer, and then uh,
there's other games within the SEC. I think the only
SEC game time that's come out was we played Floored

(28:23):
on ABC at like three o'clock, which will be our
first ABC game. Well we played them I think actually
last year maybe on ABC. But that's the only game
time that that that we've seen so far. Cool, so
appreciate it, David, there you go. Yeah, that should come.
When do you think the team the schedule of the
times for basketball come here? Oh, November? Well, the games

(28:48):
we've already started by then.

Speaker 5 (28:50):
But well, the SEC has started doing those flexes where
we don't even have no the days on some of them.
It's like a Tuesday or Wednesday.

Speaker 4 (28:57):
Yeah, and I think the final weekend it's a Saturday
or Sunday. You could even have a Sunday game, which
that's you don't see that very often. So yeah, I
mean they do, they do seem like, do more flexes.
But Kentucky, listen, we're gonna be in the best time slots.
I mean, I what are our chances of win in
the SEC? By the way, it's.

Speaker 5 (29:16):
User Florida, user Florida. That's how I see it. Yeah,
Florida's pretty stacked. You know, you don't think Arkansas has
a shot? No, Okay, I don't have to go down
that road again. But uh, Auburn and Alabama will be down. Yeah, Aburn,
especially Auburn. I mean, but Alabama they didn't get the
portal class that that they usually do, So I mean,

(29:38):
I do I agree with you it's Kentucky or Florida.
I think the conference is still gonna be deep, like
the bracketology, still have several SEC teams close to last year.

Speaker 4 (29:47):
But as far as there's a bunch of teams that
are better, Kentucky, A and M's gonna be better. I
think they got some guys. You know, if you feel
like you keep waiting for Texas one year to be good.

Speaker 5 (29:58):
Missouri was awesome last year and just folded in the
last couple of weeks.

Speaker 4 (30:01):
That's a big win when we won there on the
road that last uh, that last one. But no, I
think we're I want to I need to break the
schedule down to do the numbers. But I would say
in conference we have what eighteen conference games?

Speaker 5 (30:14):
Is that right?

Speaker 4 (30:15):
Eighteen conference games? I would say I'm going like fourteen
and four thirteen to five maybe.

Speaker 5 (30:22):
All around, and there a lot of teams are gonna
be good. I mean, Tennessee's gonna be good. It's good
to the conference is gonna be stacked again. It just won't.
I don't think we'll have like an Auburn winning at
or Alabama in the mix like they normally are, though
they could be, but I just think it's a two
horse race at this point with Florida and Kentucky just
looking at rosters.

Speaker 4 (30:38):
Who's next, Matt, Matt, go ahead, Matt, Hey, what's up, guys,
what's going on?

Speaker 10 (30:44):
I'm sitting out here in my garden, mad it titing
on this beautiful day in Hymen, smelling of my fresh basil,
and you are right, like when you get out of
the hospital, like it's the greatest feeling every I just did.
I've I've been dealing with some healthy issues in the
past couple of years and that's what started my meditation.

Speaker 4 (31:08):
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I'm out.

Speaker 10 (31:13):
I'm out in my garden right now.

Speaker 4 (31:15):
Yeah, okay, hearing that? Yeah, okay, well good, I'm glad
you're not in the hospital anything else.

Speaker 12 (31:24):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was, Uh, I was just curious.
I know you've talked about your trip, a lot and everything,
but it's so fascinating South Africa. I actually just started
reading about South Africa. They have three capital cities.

Speaker 10 (31:40):
Did you see any dinosaur bones and like.

Speaker 4 (31:44):
Any dinosaur bones?

Speaker 5 (31:46):
No?

Speaker 4 (31:46):
I mean I saw animals that are alive today, but
I did not see any dinosaur bones. But uh, not
only they have three capital cities, they have eleven. How
about this, here's an interesting fact. South Africa has eleven
official languages and they recognize some language is an official language,
so they actually have twelve. Yeah, yeah, well, I appreciate

(32:09):
the call. They have eleven official language. It's English, English, Afrikaans,
and then the non languages of the various tribes that
began in South Africa. And then they also recognized sign language.
So they require all government documents have to be available
in all of those various languages if you request it.

(32:30):
But like if you go out on the streets, you
only see English. English is the is the one. Maybe
occasionally Africans, but you mostly see English. But officially twelve language.
That's the only country in the world that has more
than three, and they have twelve.

Speaker 5 (32:44):
Did you run in I know you said it's mostly English,
but did you run into places where there.

Speaker 4 (32:48):
Was almost all English. I mean, you know when you
I mean, I know there are places where this isn't true,
but almost everywhere I've traveled you can get by with English.
The only place I remember English being tough with I
went to Slovenia once and they they, I think, take
pride in not speaking English. But certainly in South Africa.

(33:09):
You know, you gotta remember the people that did apartheid
were the Afrikaans, so the black people there do not
want to speak Africans, so they kind of agree, like,
we're not gonna speak Africans because you all were a oppress.
So there's nine of our languages, so we can't use that.
So they just kind of like compromise on English as
the one that everybody will.

Speaker 5 (33:28):
Do and nicer than to include sound language.

Speaker 4 (33:31):
I thought that it's the only country in the world
where sign language is an official language. Yeah, I think
that's kind of a cool addition. Ef I'm nine to
twenty two eighty seven. We are here at Basketball Media Day.
Mark Pope speaks in seventeen minutes. We'll be streaming at
live on Kentucky Sports Radio dot com. I think is
that right? Hopefully let's just say yes, uh and but

(33:52):
we will come back. Final segment here, it's KSR welcome back,
take you sports Radio. What is this song? Shannon wanting
to buy a Fleetwood Mac Fleetwood Mac. I like Cleetwood Ma.
You know, I didn't know much Fleetwood Mac, And every
time I hear Fleetwood smack song, I end up liking it.
Like that little guitar song that you know, the one
Shannon where people say it's the hardest thing to play

(34:12):
in music. That we've played that before on here.

Speaker 8 (34:14):
Yeah, well, I can't remember the name of the song.

Speaker 4 (34:16):
Is that. What's the name of it that people say
it's the hardest thing to play in all of music?
It's not.

Speaker 5 (34:23):
I can hear it.

Speaker 4 (34:24):
I can hear it too. It's like booda boo bore.
It is never going never going back. Yeah, play just
pull that up in a second. I want to hear
the little do do do bo beeps because I do
uh uh, I do like that. That that's I want
to get that in my head for this press conference.

Speaker 5 (34:41):
Song is in your head the way you did it?

Speaker 4 (34:43):
Boo boos Yeah, five dot uh twenty two eighty seven
Tonight you got chiefs Jaguars Liam Cohen for DraftKings, go
to DraftKings dot com. Bet the game. Uh, we didn't
win the part the ks R partway this week thanks
to Ryan, but the rest of us got it. So
Ryan lost the first one, but then we won the next. No,
Channon loss too, So Drew and I won. Ryan and

(35:04):
Channon lost. But nevertheless, you can go to Draftkingsdraftkings dot Com.
Promo code is KSR bet five win twohundred dollars. You've
got Chiefs Jaguars tonight Liam Cohen against Patty Mahomes and
Taylor Swift. Who you got Jags upset? Going with the
Jags upset. Liam Cohen's been spicy all season. Last week
he's fighting Roberts Live after the game. The week before that,

(35:25):
he's yelling at Trevor Lawrence. He's a man on a mission.
Jags with the upset Chiefs three and a half point favorites.
I'm all in on the Chiefs. I think they've turned
the corner. I think you get the Jaguars if you
go look at it. They've beaten like three bad teams,
like they haven't been anybody good yet. So I'm gonna
take the Chiefs to win and cover at home, and
you can go and do it at DraftKings a right,
play it really quick, Cushandon do Doo Do Do Do

(35:51):
Do Do Do to doom, bomp bomb bomb. So they
say that's the hardest thing to play in guitars right there?
Do you believe that? No, why don't you believe that?
I mean people say it.

Speaker 8 (36:02):
I mean I play guitar.

Speaker 3 (36:03):
I think I can figure that out and play.

Speaker 4 (36:04):
You think you could, well, why don't you learn? I
think we talked about this a couple of years ago
and you said you were gonna learn, and then you did.

Speaker 8 (36:09):
I never did. Yeah, I think I could play that.

Speaker 4 (36:11):
All right, I believe you came.

Speaker 3 (36:13):
I'm just saying I think there's probably like a Metallica
song that's a little tougher to play than that.

Speaker 4 (36:16):
But I think that it's like because it's so intricate,
and you do bring them more difficult. If you'll learn it, I'll.

Speaker 8 (36:26):
Sing it, we'll start a band, we'll.

Speaker 4 (36:31):
Do a live one of Never Going back Again. We
have some breaking news running no No. Clay Travis, reporting
to ESPN, has pulled Paul fine Bomb off the air
due to his uh.

Speaker 8 (36:50):
Boringness, great news long time ago.

Speaker 4 (37:01):
That was not the news report. The news report was
due to his consideration of the Senate race, not his boringness,
as reported by Shannon Uh. You know, I mean I
got pulled off the air for considering it. I didn't
like that. So I think that's you know, but we'll

(37:23):
say for ESPN, that's the rule. So like, I don't
know if that should be their rule, but it is
their rule. Like they are very explicit, like if you,
at any point decide you're thinking about running for office,
you're out. So he does an interview where he says,
I think I've run for office. I thought when he
did it, I was like, isn't that against the ESPN's rules.
Isn't he gonna get in trousle. I just wondered if
the rules even applied anymore. And I guess they do

(37:45):
because they specifically tell you the moment you announced publicly
you're thinking about running, we can't have you on the air. So,
I mean, he knew that's what the rule was.

Speaker 5 (37:53):
Can't be doing that when you work for Mickey Mouse.
I'm a little surprised Paul even went as far to
say it, because you know, he would well, that means
he's doing it.

Speaker 4 (38:02):
Yeah, I mean, he's not an idiot like Paul knows.
So if my assumption was that when he stayed on
the air that like ESPN, maybe was like it because
you know, writing it technically when you work at ESPN,
they tell you do not talk about politics, and stephen
A has just been like.

Speaker 5 (38:17):
Well I was gonna ask that wasn't Stephen.

Speaker 4 (38:19):
I mean, stephen A's been doing it for a while,
so I just thought, well, maybe they're just not enforcing
that rule anymore. So when Fine Bam did it, I
was like, well, I guess they're just not enforcing it.
But now I get apparently they did, so he knew
that rule existed. So that means to me, he's running
right Like that means he's gonna run, because why would
you do this unless you were gonna Although I guess
I kept doing it, got pulled off the air and

(38:40):
didn't run, So maybe that's not true.

Speaker 5 (38:41):
I don't know that's true, you know, but just where
he is in his career, I'd say he knew the
consequences that were coming.

Speaker 4 (38:50):
It's it's interesting, though, so he must be running senat
or Fine baumb what.

Speaker 5 (38:55):
A world pow. I want fine bomb versus pearl for
the Alabama City should.

Speaker 4 (39:00):
College in to him and be like, oh, where's my
man case?

Speaker 3 (39:08):
He just puts them on speaker he's got because he's
got nothing to say. Let's go to Frank went to
the courthouse.

Speaker 4 (39:16):
YEA, go ahead, Frank, Frank. What's up?

Speaker 13 (39:19):
Macim mourning?

Speaker 10 (39:20):
Man?

Speaker 13 (39:21):
I find it interesting when you know, people kind of
talk about the trajectory of stoops and how everything's been going,
and you know, there's a lot of things that even
have to happen for it to get to this point.
But it's just assumed that John Summerle is going to
come here and take the job and coach. And I'm like,
what makes you say that, Like there's going to be
openings at Florida, there's going to be openings at Auburn.

(39:43):
Wisconsin might have an opening. Like all these schools have
bigger budgets than we do for football. They didn't just
take a loan out from their athletics department to pay
for capital expondentures, and like they're not operating at a
deficit like we seem to be.

Speaker 4 (39:56):
Because yeah, I don't don't believe revenue. Hey I don't
we have financial problems. I mean, I think all these
schools have financial challenges, but I don't think Kentucky has
a financial problem. I think if John Summer all were
to be offered a job and he took the Florida job,
it would just be because it's a better job. Like
it wouldn't be that. I don't think it would be

(40:16):
like we can't afford him or anything like that. I
think it would just be that it's a better job.
I don't think he would take the Arkansas job over
Kentucky because I don't think that's a significantly better job.
D But if Florida came open and he was offered both,
I could see why he would take the Florida job
because to me, I appreciate the call. Florida should be
one of the five best jobs in the country.

Speaker 5 (40:38):
Yeah, you would have to take that over Kentucky. I
don't care that you've played here. Alabama and Auburn were
a couple to watch until a few weeks ago. But
you know, Alabama's got that figured out and Auburn does too.
But he's from the state of Alabama's why I would
worry about those two jobs opening. But as after the
results we've gotten in the last few weeks, I think
those jobs are going to be staying firm with her
they have.

Speaker 4 (40:59):
Yeah, I think so too. I think if we want
some role, we'll have it. What are you is, Mario two?
We're playing two on two volleyball right here in the
middle of media day.

Speaker 5 (41:08):
Does Craig Skinner know you're just starting up games? Are
here with these strangers?

Speaker 4 (41:12):
It's Mario just it's just taking over the court, like Billy,
Who's next? Harry, Barry? Go ahead, Barry, Hey, Matt.

Speaker 7 (41:20):
You know Lindsey Buckingham plays a variation of Travis picking,
which has Kentucky roots. So that's.

Speaker 4 (41:28):
That's the kind of that's the kind of picking that
it was in that song Finger.

Speaker 12 (41:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (41:33):
Somebody told me that, yeah, when we were talking about
last time that it was actually the kind Someone said
that to me that it was created in Kentucky. But yeah,
go ahead.

Speaker 7 (41:43):
You know, as Kentucky fans, we can remember every bad
call we've ever gotten in basketball or football or whatever.
Are we and even some led to like rule changes?
Are we forgetting? Can you name the three or four
egregiously good call bad calls in our favor? That we
got over the years.

Speaker 4 (42:02):
Well, you know, you just tend to forget about those
because you just assume I appreciate the call. Yeah, you
tend to assume like, well, we deserved it. So I don't.
I can't think of one right off the top of
my head. I feel like we had a game not
that long ago in the SEC Basketball where we were
something happened in our favor at the end, and we
won and we just kind of moved on. But I

(42:24):
do not remember. Do you do? Can you think of one?

Speaker 5 (42:26):
I can't think of one. I know all fans think
that they're on the wrong end of the whistle, but
I genuine believe we have a bad home whistle to
be Kentucky in both sports.

Speaker 4 (42:35):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (42:36):
I know that's part of being a fan. Every team
would say that, yeah, but I do anytime I feel
like there's a replay, I don't feel like myself, I.

Speaker 4 (42:44):
Don't feel like we get a rough whistle. I don't
feel like we do. Now other teams probably disagree, but
I really don't. Football, I've never really thought one way
or the other that.

Speaker 5 (42:53):
It was Zion Choulders scored last year.

Speaker 4 (42:56):
He did. I agree with that hey, thank you all
very much. Get ready to tune over for the Mark
Pope press conference tomorrow. We're at Cash Bar Wednesday and Thursday.
