Welcome to our of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Now here's Matt Jones.

Speaker 4 (01:05):
What a back I remember too, Tucky Sports Radio eight five,
twenty two eighty seven. I need to sometimes, Shannon, not
look at the at the at the news during the break.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
Why is it just throwing your uh mood?

Speaker 5 (01:20):
I just throws my like I looked. I don't even
want to read it.

Speaker 4 (01:24):
What Trump posted about Rob Reyner getting you no due
about him. It's like the most hateful thing of it.
The dude got murdered, Like I expect, I expect random
people on the internet to be hateful. But you're the president. Look,
you're the president of the United States.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
I didn't see what he said, but yeah, if you.

Speaker 5 (01:43):
Can't say something nice.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
How many times you heard me say if you can't
say something nice when somebody dies, then don't say anything
at all?

Speaker 5 (01:50):
Right, Yeah, and if.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
You're the president, Like, I'm not even gonna read it.
I just I don't care if that makes people if
you read that and you think that's an okay thing
to write when somebody gets murdered, like you're just that's disgusting.
All right, I'll shut up. I didn't mean to get
off on that anyway. We're doing trivia Wednesday night. Nice

(02:13):
ks bar Glad.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
You got that out there Trump trivia.

Speaker 5 (02:15):
Right, we're not doing Trump? Okay. Can I ask you
a question?

Speaker 4 (02:20):
When you all go to your parents' house, what they
what do they have the thermostat on? I never looked,
but I feel like it's always hot, thank you.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what it is.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
Seventy eight degrees seventy eight?

Speaker 5 (02:36):
It was I was suffocating.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
What do you have yours on?

Speaker 4 (02:42):
Some seventy one sixty eight?

Speaker 5 (02:46):
Yeah? I walked in. I mean I was just.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Old people.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
I can't really say anything, like it's my first of all,
it's their house, you know, I want them to be comfortable.
But like, what is the age that parents just turn
the thermostada because there is an eate? I remember the
same thing with my grandparents house.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
I think it's like retirement.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
They just decide we're staking it up as.

Speaker 5 (03:13):
We came all day.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Yeah, yeah, it's just.

Speaker 5 (03:16):
Like here we go turn it off.

Speaker 6 (03:19):
If my house is ever seventy eight, it's on fire,
like I'm calling somebody. When it gets to seventy two and.

Speaker 4 (03:24):
It was time to go to bed, it was like
just take everything off, like I.

Speaker 5 (03:31):
Who needs them? It's just.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
Now do you say any.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
Well I mean, I give my mom a hard time
about it, but I'm not, you know. I mean, Larry's
he's sick, and I need.

Speaker 5 (03:47):
And I want him to be comfortable.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
But I'm just like and I'm like, Mom, do you
think this is a little bit hot? And she's like, no,
this is what we leave it at. And I'm like,
the colder it gets outside, the higher they turn it up,
as if it's gonna change, Shannon, what it is outside? Right?

Speaker 3 (04:02):
And and but today it's so cold. I mean, you
could just take a lap around the house then come
back in. I think you'd be okay. It was like
eight degrees this morning when I woke up.

Speaker 6 (04:10):
I know, but I think i'd under go in the bedroom,
close the door, and open the window window, let the
cold therein.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
And they're both like they're both undercovers, eat at blankets, sweaters,
electric blankets.

Speaker 5 (04:23):
It's like mock. So anyway, two eighty seven, the volleyball
team wins. Going to the file four.

Speaker 7 (04:35):
We did it great victory domination.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
Ran through cow poly Uh last week and then ran
through Creighton. Game was like match was never closed, and
then we got some good new Texas gets beat and
then Nebraska loses their first home game in three and
a half years, and I just want to say the
fourth and fifth set of that match was some of
the most inner haining sports if you did not see it.

(05:01):
The fourth set, which Nebraska won, was amazing, Like you
know how they go to twenty five, but you have
to win by two. It was like thirty seven to
thirty five. They just kept going back and forth and
back and forth, and then again I thought, well, once
Nebraska won, they'll win the fifth set, but they didn't.
So the team two teams that had the best chance
of beating US, Nebraska and Texas, drew both out of

(05:23):
the Final four. We are the highest seeded team at
the Final four.

Speaker 5 (05:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (05:27):
As exciting as winning on Saturday was, the results of
the other matches was just as exciting. On Sunday, knocked
out the two seeds ahead of Kentucky. Now they're the
top seed, they're the favorite. Just got to finish the job.
I don't love just seeing Wisconsin in the final four.
That triggers memories, but maybe this is redemption for other sports.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
I don't think Sam Decker's playing, and we played Wisconsin
and then pitt who we also we lost to earlier
this year, right, So Pitt is on the other side.
That's one of the two teams that beat us. They
play A and M, who we've beaten earlier this year.
Getting Texas out of there was huge too. Areay play
them twice? You know they have that saying about playing
a team three times?

Speaker 5 (06:04):
Is that true? Everybody always says that, but is it true.
I don't think they'd say it if it wasn't true.
Well that's true.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
Well they say ty Go's the runner and that wasn't true.
But we love our spot though, love it. I wonder
how many people will get out there to Kansas City.
I hope it's a lot because there's been a lot
of energy around here for it. By Nebraska being out,
you know, Kansas City was basically going to be a
home game for them.

Speaker 5 (06:25):
And now they're out, So I would assume. I don't.
I wouldn't think A and M or Pit bring a ton.

Speaker 4 (06:33):
Wisconsin may bring a bunch of people, but like we
have a chance to like, I don't think the crowd
will be as big a factor.

Speaker 6 (06:40):
So, you know, because we saw Nebraska in Nashville the
beginning of the year with that crowd build. Yeah, that
was huge in getting them out of there. I wonder
what Craig Skinner will do next. He's already gone up
in a private jet to promote where.

Speaker 5 (06:53):
Else can you go?

Speaker 3 (06:54):
Outer space?

Speaker 4 (06:54):
We're gonna think he flies with you, like he has
one more trick. He's got to do something.

Speaker 5 (06:59):
The jump out of the plane.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
You shouldn't have to do that to get people excited
to buy tickets to see you in the final four.

Speaker 5 (07:05):
So yeah, but the game's not at home. If it
was here might be different.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
So uh, the game is at nine o'clock on Thursday
against Wisconsin. We're gonna have a watch party at the bar.
I think it'll be really fun. You just need to
plan on, like staying up late, drinking some coffee. We're
gonna we're gonna go at it. Drew's gonna come if
if if we start losing, you're gonna leave. I will leave, okay,

(07:31):
because you've left twice and we've come back and won.

Speaker 6 (07:34):
They were down O two in the SEC Championship and
I still watched this and then walked out the door,
and we came.

Speaker 5 (07:39):
We went one three straight, So we will do it, hopefully.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
The guy that plays the fight song with his harmonica
over the over the microphone.

Speaker 5 (07:46):
Hopefully he'll be there.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
Request if you're out there, Hey, if you're out there, harmonica, guy,
come on and play the harmonica.

Speaker 5 (07:54):
It should be a lot of fun.

Speaker 4 (07:55):
We know, you know, we need one of those fun
environments because we need to have won. Although we've had
a lot of great basketball environments this year and they lost,
but we won Saturday.

Speaker 6 (08:04):
The SEC run was fun on these first couple wee
weekends of the NCAA has been good.

Speaker 5 (08:09):
Just got to finish the job.

Speaker 4 (08:09):
So this is a big so Thursday night and then
the finals would be on Sunday. Uh, if we win,
do you feel like we're gonna We're gonna take it?

Speaker 6 (08:17):
I'm getting it. I'm getting nervous, but it's the good nervous,
excited nervous. It's like right here in front of us.
Like I said, we haven't tasted its success in basketball
in a while or football. It's been fun giving attention
to volleyball because they certainly deserve it.

Speaker 5 (08:28):
I agree, So big time, big time win. Congrats.

Speaker 4 (08:32):
I hope to have someone involved with volleyball on with
us tomorrow, trying to get see if we can get
a couple of players in here, and I do like
I do think volleyball is the only sport where you
can get away with during timeouts the players do choreographed dances. Yeah,
can you imagine if in basketball, because it was like

(08:56):
it was the third set and the third set, like
it's like fourteen twelve.

Speaker 5 (09:02):
Can you imagine if you had.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
A time out in basketball with like six minutes to
go in the game and they're doing a.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
Review, just break into song and dance.

Speaker 4 (09:10):
Yes, and Chandler and Noah Jasper Johnson are doing like
the boot scoot and boogie.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
Might they actually get each other if they do?

Speaker 5 (09:20):
That's true, But can you imagine that happening?

Speaker 6 (09:23):
And they do it with the other team's cheerleaders, like
every courageous cheerleaders were dancing with our reserves breaks it.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
I mean, it is the NCAA Tournament, Elite eight serious,
they are doing the dance team.

Speaker 5 (09:41):
I'm amazed that everyone does that.

Speaker 6 (09:43):
I think it's cool, but a step, it's choreographed. It's
not like a spontaneous that worked on it.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
Yeah, they're spending their practice time doing their dance. And
so we got a big game, but there's also a
dance coming up at half time again.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
Like, okay, let's take the playoff. Oklahoma Alabama front ten
minutes to go in the fourth corner, and all the
Oklahoma players just start dancing during the.

Speaker 6 (10:06):
Time out, doing the electric slide with the other team's
banned right and step together like that's.

Speaker 5 (10:13):
It's funny how the culture of these sports can be
so different. Football. Willstein hired four assistants.

Speaker 4 (10:20):
I'm not going to claim to know any of who
these guys are. When of them came from Ohio State,
one of them came from Texas San Antonio, one of
them came from UCL Like. The common theme of all
these guys, though, is we are a young staff, Like
there is almost We're hiring dudes who were assistants to
the assistant regional manager. We're making them full time assistants,

(10:44):
and they're gonna be young and presumably hungry.

Speaker 5 (10:47):
Do you like that strategy? I do. It fits the
head coach what he wants to do.

Speaker 6 (10:51):
He's got a connections to a lot of them, some
from like when he coached at Texas San Antonio. There's
gonna be a lot of Texas influence. A lot of
guys have had top stops in Texas, including we added
a new cutter, cutter left cutters. Our offensive line coach
is a cutter.

Speaker 5 (11:06):
How many cutters? Who would have thought you could have?
Do you know? Did you know one cutter before?

Speaker 8 (11:11):
No?

Speaker 3 (11:11):
Not one?

Speaker 4 (11:12):
And we have two cutters.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
Yeahwet unbelievable.

Speaker 6 (11:16):
We got a guy, the safety's coach. They just called
j c Y Josh Christian Young. He's already got a
nickname jac. Why like that.

Speaker 5 (11:22):
We have Tony Washington Junior.

Speaker 6 (11:26):
He's got a West coast guy head stops at Oregon,
played somewhere out west.

Speaker 5 (11:30):
Also, there's some player I was watching a game the
other night. Shannon.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
The player's name is let's just say, Shannon the Dude Junior. No,
the player's name is Shannon the Dude senior, and his
dad is Shannon the dude Junior.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
I don't think that's how that works, but that's what
they did. That would imply the son gave birth to
the dad.

Speaker 5 (11:49):
But the announcer said it's unique, and then he just
moved on that it worked.

Speaker 3 (11:56):
Say that.

Speaker 4 (11:57):
I agree with you. It's not how it works, it
is unique. He didn't explain why they did it. The
player was a senior and his dad was a junior
COVID teams out of control. Yeah, I need an explanation.

Speaker 5 (12:15):
They just didn't play.

Speaker 4 (12:16):
The announcer was like, it is unique, and then they
just were like, it's like you would say, he's wearing socks.

Speaker 6 (12:26):
Because the dad maybe he had been a junior for
so long he didn't want to give it up.

Speaker 5 (12:30):
But I don't know how he gives his son.

Speaker 4 (12:32):
So he wanted to name his son after his dad,
but didn't want to call him the third. Like I've
been to junior for forty some years. Keep we keep
going back and forth junior and senior, so that the
fourth in line will be junior again. Interesting, have you
do you know anyone in life because you'll see thirds.
I even know a fourth. Does anyone know a fifth

(12:55):
or a sixth?

Speaker 3 (12:57):
King Louis?

Speaker 4 (12:58):
Yeah, besides the King Is, there are a lot of those,
like Henry the eighth. But like, have you ever met
anyone in your regular life who was a fifth?

Speaker 3 (13:05):
No? No, we have a third on this in this
KSR family with Billy, he's a third.

Speaker 5 (13:10):
Billy's a third.

Speaker 4 (13:11):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 5 (13:15):
Neil Gordon Barry the fourth.

Speaker 4 (13:17):
I know him. He's he's Middlesborough and Stetson Bennett. He
was a fourth, but I don't think I know a fifth.

Speaker 5 (13:23):
The fifth, so you think the fifth? They just go
all right, aready?

Speaker 4 (13:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (13:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (13:30):
Anyway, Hey if I'm nine two a twenty two eighty seven, Adam,
go ahead, Adam.

Speaker 8 (13:36):
Hey, what's up, guys? Kind of football and a basketball football?

Speaker 9 (13:40):
What are the odds that Jeff Brahm is at Michigan
next year?

Speaker 5 (13:44):
Well he already said no to penns day.

Speaker 4 (13:46):
Is that being reported as a possibility, I haven't seen it.

Speaker 8 (13:51):
I mean, he's like top three right now.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
Okay, Well, I mean I appreciate the call. Let would
you let's say you were the coach at Kentucky, okay,
and you were offered the Michigan job. Bet you are
a Kentucky alum, would you look at it? I think
you have to consider it. And then when we grew

(14:14):
up in Lexington, like he grew up in Little.

Speaker 6 (14:16):
When you're a little you're even in a worse off,
worse off spot because you're not in the SEC. It
is his chance to getting a big conference. And actually,
I know Louisville likes to think their playoff team and
contenders every year, but they're not. You could actually get
in that conversation, if you went to Michigan for a
national championship, you might do I think I would you
do it.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
Shannon, Yeah, yeah, I think you would if even if
you went there. Yeah, I think at least have a conversation. Yeah, crazy,
I think you have.

Speaker 5 (14:41):
To consider it. And Michigan's a better job than Penn State.
It is.

Speaker 6 (14:45):
It just it just is a unique spot where they're
desperate too. Right now, not many names out there is.

almost got.

Speaker 5 (15:21):
Me there, singing Michael.

Speaker 4 (15:24):
Yeah, I kind of like George Michael and George Michael's
kind of embarrassing, But I kind of like this song.
I definitely like faith. I definitely like wake me Up
before you go go. Well that was him though he
was in Wham. I mean that's him. He's the lead singer.
He's wearing shorts that no man should go out in

(15:44):
public and in that shit in that video. Like if
you go watch that video, they need more. You know
how you go to like a somewhere and they go,
do you want five inch, seven inch or nine inch shorts?
I've learned that like seven's the soofts or the right spot.
You can do five, but like be ready for fiveh

(16:05):
Georgio like ordered one and a half. He did one
person rights Matt. There are many people on the left
who say worse things than Trump. When people die, you
don't condemn them, Well, am I just supposed to like
condemn every person on earth.

Speaker 5 (16:26):
Yeah, there are.

Speaker 4 (16:27):
Awful people who say awful things all the time, and
they're awful, but they're not the president. The president is different,
you know. You say, like when Charlie Kirk died, I
was like, it's awful. It's tragic, period into stop. It
doesn't matter about anything else. It's awful. This man was

(16:47):
murdered by his kid. How can you not like, how
do you say something aful like that's so you've got
hate in your heart? Like get it like you got
to get rid of that. That's not the way to
live life, even if you are the president, that you
must have hate in your heart. If you're sitting there
saying those things when people die, I don't know how
your first reaction isn't gosh, it's terrible, right?

Speaker 5 (17:09):
Or am I crazy?

Speaker 8 (17:10):
No?

Speaker 6 (17:11):
No, you're completely right. I just I didn't read the
twist saw it just looked pretty unhanden.

Speaker 5 (17:15):
There's a lot of.

Speaker 4 (17:18):
Even if you love him, I think we can all
agree like he's kind of losing it, Like you don't
write stuff like that.

Speaker 5 (17:28):
I'm losing on the camera the microphone fifty that's that
was not the way to make my boyt microphone.

Speaker 4 (17:43):
A lot of people are writing me about force, but
very few fifths. Will Fuller is a wide receiver on Texas.
He's apparently a fifth. Okay, but I don't see any
force or excuse me, I see force. I don't see
very many fifths. You got Billy r Sports the third,

(18:03):
I hope, so that would be good. Kwaddy Green was
the fourth. Did you know that? That's right?

Speaker 5 (18:09):
Lonus Seber was a fourth. Did not remember the loan
of seb being a fourth?

Speaker 3 (18:14):
Billy has the opportunity to make a fourth.

Speaker 5 (18:17):
And then he could force his son to make a fifth.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
There you go, there's a lot of pressure, and do
it for the show. I don't care about your family legacy.
Do it for the show.

Speaker 4 (18:27):
I don't care about your legacy. You do it for
the show. Speaking of legacy, what do you think of
John Cena.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
Thought it was terrible. I thought it was a horrible
way to go out. I mean, the guy literally built
his entire career off of one catchphrase, never give up,
and he gave up.

Speaker 4 (18:43):
But that's but that's the great way, Like you never
give up until I'm gonna go ahead and give up
within the final matter.

Speaker 3 (18:49):
What does that teach kids?

Speaker 5 (18:51):
Team?

Speaker 4 (18:51):
You know what the age comes for everybody to give up?

Speaker 3 (18:58):
God, never give up? Just gave up? Who booked that crap?

Speaker 5 (19:02):
Uh on on? Uh Matt?

Speaker 4 (19:06):
Myron I was talking about it and I said a
couple of phrases Shannon that you and I know, and
Myron was like, maybe we need to change these phrases
because he didn't know. I was like, you know, in wrestling,
they always say always go out on your back.

Speaker 3 (19:21):
You didn't know.

Speaker 4 (19:23):
It was like, why do you say that with your
legs up?

Speaker 5 (19:27):
He was like, don't say always go out on your back?

Speaker 4 (19:31):
And then I go But the reason you do that, Shannon,
is as you're going out, you want to give somebody
a rub.

Speaker 3 (19:38):
And he was like, a rub, yeah, on the back.

Speaker 4 (19:45):
Don't talk about John cenagat somebody a rub. And then
it turned to me, you know what, maybe we could
update the phrases. Does not say that you give people, Shannon,
I don't think we I never realized that both those
phrases are a little off.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
Yeah, well, you explain it to somebody who doesn't understand
the industry. It's a little weird, especially when you can
buy in those two things.

Speaker 5 (20:06):
When you find those two frames on their own.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
Maybe you're okay. Together, it doesn't work.

Speaker 4 (20:11):
So he did point out that maybe that wasn't the
language to use. Damon, go ahead, Damon.

Speaker 8 (20:18):
Hello, how are you off?

Speaker 5 (20:19):
Good? What's up?

Speaker 3 (20:21):
Good?

Speaker 8 (20:21):
I just had a theory about the shooting problem. Uh,
you know, when they're in when they're in Joe Craft Center,
they're just looking at bare walls behind them, and then
when they get an arena, they have depth in the
crowd to look at. I'm going to hang up and
just listen.

Speaker 5 (20:35):
It's always been my worry, and I appreciate the call.

Speaker 4 (20:38):
I don't know if there's any science to this, but
I've always believed that it was.

Speaker 5 (20:43):
The Joe Craft Center.

Speaker 4 (20:44):
If you've ever been in, the wall is directly behind
the basket, and I've always wondered if that effects our
shooting when we shoot against that every day and then
we go into an arena where it's open. You know,
when I think about like like Duke, Duke practices every
day in camp. Now Pope is practicing more in rap arena.
But I would have to think practicing in that enclosed

(21:06):
arena every day that when you go into a regular arena,
it's got it different, don't you think. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (21:13):
I mean NBA teams all practice in little facilities. I
guess they're they do step ahead. Maybe we just paint
a crowd in the in the Craft Center, just paint
little faces.

Speaker 5 (21:22):
It's like the depth per se.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
Well.

Speaker 6 (21:24):
I mean you have to get creative and do some
of some of that fancy painting where it looks that way.

Speaker 5 (21:28):
Oh you're saying painted paint. It looks like there's depth. Okay,
that's interesting.

Speaker 4 (21:36):
Teams do that, so, I mean NBA teams do play
in these little for.

Speaker 6 (21:40):
Years, though I thought it was a problem. I couldn't
believe that they wouldn't practice there. I mean, we've all
said a hundred times, why don't they practice it?

Speaker 4 (21:46):
Where they practice so many times a year in rep Now.
I don't know how many times it is, but but
so many.

Speaker 6 (21:51):
Times something's not translating though. Whatever it is, I don't
think it's the building. But Pope's got to figure out
why they're shooting so well there and cannot bring it
in games.

Speaker 5 (22:00):
David, go ahead, David.

Speaker 10 (22:04):
I've got a little bit American trivia for you guys. Okay,
remember do you remember remember the Bluegrass Conspiracy.

Speaker 5 (22:13):
Before my time? But I know this, I've read that
book ago.

Speaker 11 (22:17):
But Andrew Andrew Thornton was the guy that parachuted out
of the plane, died in the driveway in Tennessee. Cocaine
bear that whole story. But here's a notorious American thing.
When the Feds that everybody were investigating him, he faked
an assassination attempt. He was going out the back door
at American You guys can google this, and he had somebody

(22:39):
come up and shoot him in the chest. He was
wearing a bullet proof vest.

Speaker 4 (22:43):
Wow, knew so much happening at the America end. I
just wanted some chicken.

Speaker 5 (22:51):
You know, I go three or.

Speaker 10 (22:54):
Four times a year.

Speaker 11 (22:55):
I've never had a bad meal there.

Speaker 4 (22:57):
I appreciate the call. I remember always liking it kind of.
You know, there were certain when I was growing up,
old places to eat. Morrison's Cafeteria what is now the
Lexington Green. You go out there, food would be good,
but it was an older crowd. But I think merrick
In is now gonna have a second life. Maybe it

(23:19):
didn't need a second life, but Charles and the Chicken
has taken it up. We'll take a break. Great back skisr. TJ.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ. He'll make them pay now.
More of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's
Matt Jones.

Speaker 5 (23:36):
Had to throw in the death perception there, I got you.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
Yeah, who is this saliva?

Speaker 5 (23:42):
Have we ever played saliva?

Speaker 12 (23:44):
Sure?

Speaker 3 (23:44):
Yeah? We played everybody on this show.

Speaker 5 (23:46):
All right, So I'm.

Speaker 4 (23:47):
Gonna run a few through some of the smaller stories
the weekend Diego Pavia.

Speaker 3 (23:51):
Yeah embarrassed, I'm not, but he should be the way
you acted. I mean his mom should have taught him
better than that. You would think.

Speaker 4 (23:59):
He wrote on instagramf the voters. Then he went to
a club and wrote if Indiana. He came out yesterday
was like, sorry about that. I don't know what I
was thinking, but I'm fine with sorries. But like you
knew what you were doing. Dudes, you did it twice.
You didn't just in the moment do it, then you
did it again. I mean, just from a practical standpoint,

(24:23):
do you want.

Speaker 5 (24:24):
To have an NFL career?

Speaker 4 (24:25):
I mean you're probably not gonna have one anyway, but
like no one's gonna like take a mid level prospect
and then go give you a chance if you're gonna
be a jerk.

Speaker 6 (24:34):
I saw his apology and I didn't even read it.
I just saw it and thought an agent called him
and said, what are you doing? We are trying to
get you drafted in a few months. Let's behave Shannon.

Speaker 5 (24:44):
I mean he had been, he's kind of been a
likable figure.

Speaker 4 (24:47):
I don't know, man, I think like the heel turn's coming,
he's gonna he's gunther Now, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
A little too much, made an ass out of himself.
Should have just let it go.

Speaker 5 (24:55):
And you're right.

Speaker 3 (24:56):
I mean, when you do stuff like that, nfl GM
scouts they're all looking at that, they see that, and
it's not gonna be good if you even.

Speaker 5 (25:05):
He's gonna end up being like a footnote.

Speaker 4 (25:08):
And he could have been like America's Cinderella story and
the guy that won is a Cinderella story, right, so
they're both Cinderella stories. You know, his parents immigrated here
from Cuba, and he like talked to his mind like
that's that's you both are awesome stories.

Speaker 5 (25:24):
Why do you have to be the jerk?

Speaker 6 (25:26):
And he's obviously trying to be Menzel and even his
buddies with him and he hasn't no, but it's like,
don't you see how what that got him? Like that's
not the pasture you want to be on.

Speaker 4 (25:36):
I don't even think Manzel did something like that. He
didn't do f everybody else. He didn't try to take
the person like, he didn't bring other people down that.

Speaker 5 (25:46):
I know of.

Speaker 4 (25:46):
Maybe I'm forgetting, but I remember he would build himself up.
But I don't remember him trying to bring other people down.

Speaker 6 (25:52):
I just mean being that guy. We saw how that
worked in an NFL locker room when he got there,
I would be trying to do something a little different
because you don't want a comparison in the NFL when
you're trying to get a spot on a team.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
And the fact that you had the quarterback from Indiana
and the quarterback from Vanderbilt, even in that conversation is incredible.
Happy for him.

Speaker 4 (26:11):
It's one of the most amazing stories. What did we
think of Trump's coin flip?

Speaker 3 (26:16):
I didn't even see it.

Speaker 5 (26:17):
Didn't flip. It's like a little underhanded.

Speaker 4 (26:20):
He had seen a coin for the first time. He
just like threw it up in the air.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
Did it have his face on it? Can't imagine him
flipping a coin with another president's face on it.

Speaker 4 (26:32):
I mean, any game was good again, was we got
to go to that in some point?

Speaker 5 (26:36):
I think it'd be awesome to go to and we
can do the coin flip and flip it.

Speaker 6 (26:40):
Yeah, it kind of like lifted it and just lobbed
it up.

Speaker 3 (26:44):
And then yeah it is I'm watching it now, like
he's throwing a feather.

Speaker 5 (26:49):
That's exactly he's throwing it like a feather.

Speaker 4 (26:52):
One person rights, which of you would be more likely
to do what the guy in Australia did bringing the
shooter down. That you want to talk about a dude
with some cojones. Have you seen that video, Shannon?

Speaker 3 (27:05):
Did he just like run at the guy. I don't.

Speaker 4 (27:07):
I don't think I took the gun from him. Look
at him huge gun. I mean, dude has a massive gun.
The guy runs up to him and takes it from him,
and then he was with his son, and his son
shot the guy. He's alive though, that took the gun.
But see I look at that video in real time, Shaton,

(27:27):
that's one of the more I can't think of a
person doing, excuse my, a ballsier thing.

Speaker 5 (27:36):
I'd like to think I could do that in that
mum about him. Think, I don't know, I let.

Speaker 4 (27:41):
Behind the car, right, I mean, I am probably we'd
all love to be the hero in that. And he
goes and takes it from him.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
You gotta have I got nothing to lose mentality at
that point, like it's all or nothing here.

Speaker 5 (27:54):
You got to either I'm going to die anyway the.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
Hero or you're dead. Yeah, I'll see it here.

Speaker 5 (28:00):
Pretty amazing.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
At least it came up from behind.

Speaker 4 (28:04):
Still, the wouldn't I mean, the more likely thing is
you would stay hidden behind the car and just hope
that things.

Speaker 3 (28:10):
Doesn't turn around.

Speaker 4 (28:12):
Yeah, but he went and I'm sure he saved people's lives,
big gone, my god, Bazooka.

Speaker 5 (28:20):
Yeah, played like a just normal dude, like a fruit
shop or something. And then there's.

Speaker 4 (28:26):
I know I keep saying this, but I feel like
I said this when when when Luigi got shot, the
guy in New York, the shooter at Brown. I mean,
these kids, it's so sad studying for like an economics
exam comes in to die nine. Our critics are like
seriously wounded. They still haven't caught him. They they brought

(28:50):
in the wrong guy for questioning. They've now released him
and said he didn't do it. But how on a
college campus do they not? I mean, don't they have
cameras everywhere on a college campus. Wouldn't you think? Yeah,
they should most of them. Do you know Greenberg's son

(29:11):
goes there, Shannon, did you know that?

Speaker 3 (29:13):
I actually saw that on the news this morning. I
didn't know that till his.

Speaker 5 (29:17):
Son goes there. He worked.

Speaker 4 (29:18):
His son worked for OVW. You've met him a number
of times. He worked for us. That one summer he
goes to Brown and I talked to Craig Saturday night.
When I talked to Craig, his son was hunkered down
across the street because they hadn't let him move yet.
They barricaded the door. I mean, I know exactly he's
had these. Can you imagine how terrifying it would be,

(29:41):
well even today, to be there because they still haven't caught.

Speaker 5 (29:44):
The guy anywhere around there.

Speaker 4 (29:47):
Really, he canceled finals apparently, and they may be about
to send everybody home, but can you imagine like being
they were barricaded for like eight hours because they said,
we still don't know where this guy is.

Speaker 6 (29:57):
And they still don't know where he is this day
and age. It seems like they could catch anywhere.

Speaker 4 (30:02):
Not believe that they can't. I mean, it's not like
it was a murder in a closed house. This is
in a school building. There are multiple videos of the
guy walking places, and Shannon they can't catch That's amazing
to me.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
Yeah, I mean, like I said, those cameras everywhere, traffic cameras,
cameras all over campuses. You would think they would be
able to see where he went. A guy carrying a gun,
it shouldn't be hard, and they ended.

Speaker 4 (30:25):
Up going to the wrong guy. They basically detained a
guy for twenty four hours and it wasn't the.

Speaker 3 (30:30):
Right initially do that the Charley Kirk thing as well,
They got that old man.

Speaker 5 (30:35):
They got the old man.

Speaker 4 (30:36):
Yeah, I mean, I understand, like you have to detain
a lot of people because you want to I get it.
But apparently, I mean, they questioned this guy for twenty
four hours and then they released him this morning and
said it's not that.

Speaker 6 (30:48):
I mean, I know there are bigger issues than just
his feelings. That's got to be weird for him too,
being pulled into that.

Speaker 4 (30:54):
You know, in other countries it's illegal to say who
they've detained until they charged them. Did you know that
to protect him a little bit and can change the
situation like this happens. I don't know if they released
this guy's name or not, but anyway would be terrifying
if you're if you're Craig Shannon and your son, imagine
your kids off at college, right that happens and they

(31:17):
still haven't found the person you'd probably tell him come home.

Speaker 3 (31:20):
I would say so, and especially you know in his situation,
he's already been shot at once already. Yeah, Craig, I'm
talking about Yeah. Yeah, So Mike go.

Speaker 5 (31:28):
Ahead and Mike, Hey, guys, are you all today doing good?

Speaker 12 (31:35):
All right?

Speaker 13 (31:36):
So this is Mike from Knoxville. I told you guys
a couple of weeks ago that I had put up
my UK Christmas tree for the first time of five years. Well,
I'll tell you this. The other day I walked in
the house. Is past what Spencoe, West Ago. My wife
had hung a Tennessee ornament on my UK three This
past week, Yeah, this past week I took the ornament

(31:59):
off my tree and put it on her tree.

Speaker 14 (32:02):
Right.

Speaker 8 (32:03):
We beat Indiana this week.

Speaker 13 (32:05):
Okay, So I'm just saying times are changing, things are
going to be better. Ja Jadeen Quainton's is coming in Changfense.

Speaker 8 (32:19):
Yes, so I think we got no big blue.

Speaker 5 (32:22):
All right, appreciate the call.

Speaker 4 (32:23):
I like it. I've been to Knoxville a couple of
times here because with my with my dad, because that's
where he's getting his treatment.

Speaker 5 (32:30):
And uh, there's there's so much orange, so gross.

Speaker 4 (32:36):
It's It's like, I mean, the you know, people are nice,
but that that color.

Speaker 6 (32:42):
Like the Alabama guy said said, step throw up orange
inside of pumpkin. It's like it's its own thing. You
don't see it anywhere else.

Speaker 4 (32:49):
Called like orange car wash.

Speaker 3 (32:53):
You know, I'm not washing my car there dirty exactly
who wants her car to be orange?

Speaker 5 (33:00):
Let's go to David.

Speaker 14 (33:01):
Go ahead, David, Hey, Matt, how you doing good?

Speaker 5 (33:06):
What's up?

Speaker 12 (33:08):
Hey?

Speaker 14 (33:08):
I just wanted to clear up something that you have
been talking about for several months. As far as Ryan
Leming getting lasted for predicting Lamar Wilkerson to Kentucky.

Speaker 5 (33:19):
Yes, it was.

Speaker 14 (33:20):
It was not Lamar Wilkerson that he got blasted for.
It was a big man from San Diego State that
pulled his name out of the portal at the last
minute and returned to San Diego State.

Speaker 5 (33:33):
I think it was both.

Speaker 4 (33:34):
It was a whift season for a boy Ryn there,
because when I was in Amsterdam, You're thinking of Magoon, Gass, Macgooon, Gwathe,
and I think yeah, but I think he did it
with both of them.

Speaker 5 (33:45):
I think he was.

Speaker 4 (33:46):
I think he he had whiffed on Magoon and which
made him double down.

Speaker 5 (33:50):
On Lamar.

Speaker 14 (33:53):
Okay, I guess I missed on mar thing because everybody
on the planet, including Lamar Wilkerson himself had himself going
to Kentucky of course everybody.

Speaker 4 (34:01):
But we're just giving him a hard time. But I
think what happened, and I appreciate the call. Again, I was,
I'm just from what people have said he whipped on
Magoon and like he was getting a hard time and
he was like, but I'm getting this one, and then
everybody's gonna see and then it did.

Speaker 6 (34:16):
I remember the show that morning, like he started the
show and he's like, Drews, we just go and report it.
And I specifically went, I went back and made truck.
I said this. I went, we are reporting anything. You
are reporting it because I have not heard anything. And
he's like, well, I'm gonna say it later today, Lamorrow,
Oak's gonna be a cat And I was, I said,
Ryan Lemon is saying later today. So it was all

(34:36):
him and he was feeling it. It's the beginning of
the show that day.

Speaker 3 (34:39):
He hasn't scoop since then.

Speaker 5 (34:41):
Well, he was casey at the bath that day. He
was I mean, he was he was whiffing well Yaxel.

Speaker 6 (34:46):
That went to Michigan. He was pretty sure on that one,
too ortal It changes too much, That changes too much
in Portal.

Speaker 5 (34:54):
You're right.

Speaker 4 (34:54):
You gotta be careful if you have people on your
Christmas left, there are hard to buy for. Give him

Will also do the volleyball Thursday night, so back to
back night. Saint John's game is that at twelve thirty.
It's an early game, isn't it That sounds right? I
think that's uh, I think that's right. Also, we're doing
our ks Bar playoff thing where we give you have
a chance to win money. Uh during the national championship.

(36:20):
Uh we the original sponsor, uh it didn't work out.
So if you're if you have a business and you'd
interested me doing something with us on that with the
bar and getting getting a lot of publicity for your business,
just send me a message seven seven two seven seven
four five two five four. We're kind of in a
quick turnaround, so if you have, if you can, if

(36:41):
you're interested in that, it's a chance to get in
with us at and be part of the playoff special,
which is always fun. That championship night where all that
money is on the line and everybody's nervous is always cool.

Speaker 6 (36:50):
Yeah, it's in fun just picking the Bowl games, even
though the crap we're we're.

Speaker 4 (36:54):
Just doing the playoff this year, We're only doing the
playoff game, so it'll be it be eleven games.

Speaker 5 (36:59):
I think you can fired at twelve thirty for Saint Joe.

Speaker 4 (37:01):
Thirty all right if I'm nine, uh two eight oh
twenty two eighty seven. One person writes, Matt, how did
they spell dipsy do wrong on the signs? Did you
see that, Shannon? The sign said Instead of dipsy do,
they say dispy do?

Speaker 3 (37:16):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (37:17):
Yeah, Well I feel like ESPN had to have made
those signs right. They were too professional. Nobody's like bringing
a sign that says dispy do?

Speaker 3 (37:26):
No, no, why did?

Speaker 5 (37:28):
But I'm with you though, how did no one catch
that it said dispy? I don't know. How did everyone?

Speaker 6 (37:32):
Like a lot of people caught it when it was
on TV because Twitter blew up with it and I
even heard somebody called the Postgame show about it.

Speaker 5 (37:39):
But how I got there? In that first grade?

Speaker 3 (37:41):
ESPN one job and no one job, and there was
no editor you know that looked a proof reader.

Speaker 4 (37:49):
But then sometimes I will go, Okay, how does that happen,
and then I go, well, Billy was supposed to do
the stats. Yeah, so you know you can see how
it happens. You can see how it I mean, I what.
I love the people at ESPN, but like I can
see how things happen.

Speaker 6 (38:04):
Hopefully that's not your spotterer for the New Orleans.

Speaker 4 (38:06):
Bowl practicing tonight during Monday Night football. Just if you
want to know what I'm doing tonight, Shannon, close your
eyes about nine o'clock, I'm gonna be sitting cross legged
on my bed calling the Monday Night football.

Speaker 3 (38:18):
You call me and let me hear your call, like.

Speaker 4 (38:21):
I don't need anybody hearing it, right, I give you
I I have to go. I have to get my
reps tonight with no there is gonna be. Someone suggested
to me that I need to do at least one
game with people watching so they can go. That didn't
make sense, but give you notes on it, like I'm
gonna do. So I'm gonna do Monday Night football tonight
and then bowl games start like on next Friday. So

(38:44):
I'm gonna do I don't know which one it is,
but I'm gonna do one. But maybe we'll do a
Twitter what is it the X Twitter, Twitter space calling
blame or we.

Speaker 6 (38:55):
Could all go to ks bar one night, but we
blindfold ourselves and we just listened to you call whatever
game is on and we have.

Speaker 5 (39:02):
To just see it your.

Speaker 6 (39:07):
Friends having drinks, eating wings. But we're relying on you
to paint the picture.

Speaker 5 (39:11):
It's interesting. What are the games coming up here? What
are the balls here?

Speaker 4 (39:14):
We've got Tuesday night, the Salute to Veterans Bowl, Troy
and Jacksonville State.

Speaker 5 (39:21):
You know a lot about Troy. Thing is, Shannon, I
might owe it to the veterans to call that.

Speaker 3 (39:24):
You should. Veterans would love it. I mean, I don't
know if anybody else would, but the veterans.

Speaker 7 (39:28):
Would, They would Mark, go ahead, Mark, Hey, this mean
it is you if you're Mark Hey.

Speaker 10 (39:38):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 9 (39:39):
There's so many marks of calling anymore. Hey Yeah. I
just wanted to bring up, like, over the years, I've
called in a few times to your show, and I've
made the comment about the UK's practice arena where it's white,
and I just want to say that I've been talking
about that for years. How I think that perception could
be throwing those guys off if they don't get your
practice and rub a lot, and so.

Speaker 4 (40:03):
Mario Mario said that when the NBA went to the bubble,
the guys all shot better because the bubble was so
like it looked like their practice facilities.

Speaker 5 (40:13):
So yeah, there may be there may be something to them.

Speaker 9 (40:18):
Yeah, make it black or even paint people like they're
up in the stands. Make it look three D sort of,
so they.

Speaker 4 (40:26):
You know, if you're an analytics guy, and I appreciate
to call it, if you're into all that stuff, you
might say, hey, this is something where we can have
an advantage because like Kansas practice is in their basketball arena,
Duke practices in their basketball arena. I don't think North
Carolina does. Trying to think Yukon practices in their arena.
You know, we don't get to practice in ours, and

(40:47):
I think a lot of teams probably do.

Speaker 6 (40:49):
Honestly, Yeah, I don't know if that's the answer, but
it could be part of the problem because we keep
hearing about these unbelievable shooting stats, but for whatever reason,
it's not getting from the Joe Craft Center to a
game that matter.

Speaker 3 (41:00):
Would think that our coach, being a former player, would
know that. I mean a time, I wonder where they
practiced at.

Speaker 4 (41:06):
I'd be interested to uh to say, Matt go ahead, Matt.

Speaker 12 (41:12):
Hey, good morning guys.

Speaker 4 (41:13):
Uh.

Speaker 12 (41:14):
I got one thing for you. The Tennessee orange is
the worst color ever Drew. When you seed your baby,
I p yourrade carrots, You're gonna see Tennessee orange coming
out the other end.

Speaker 5 (41:27):
Oh God, thank you, thank you for that.

Speaker 4 (41:30):
Yeah, there you go, glad, Thank you for that, sir.
DraftKings bet five get two hundred dollars. You go to
DraftKings dot com. You made Shannon ut he does not
get that a lot. Use a pro bo cod ks
our bet five. If you win, you get two hundred
dollars from DraftKings. The crown is yours. Monday Night Football,
Dolphins and Steelers, Tua and Aaron Rodgers. Who you got?

(41:51):
I think it's I think what Steelers like a three
and a half ta. I'll say Dolphins in the upset.
Underdogs have been good for me lately. Okay, Shannon, give
me the Steelers and three. I'm gonna take the Stillers.
I think, old man Aaron, we'll get the women. Dolphins
been playing better with mister short pants.

Speaker 5 (42:09):
Uh hard for him.

Speaker 4 (42:10):
They've been playing well, trying to keep his job. I
think he was like one and six and now they're
six and seven.

Speaker 6 (42:14):
We tried to fire him on cover zero for like
four straight weeks in the season.
