I feel like you're the one that you're the one
that's gonna have to change their daily routine.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
So like it's really more on you. Yeah, that's true,
because I can just take a shower, get in the card,
put the headphones.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
On that you know.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
I mean, that's not what you're supposed to do, Drew,
Like you're actually supposed to, even in a secondary role, prepare,
and now he will be in the primary world.
Speaker 6 (02:33):
I'm not gonna say I'm perfect preparing, but I've already
had two hours of KS right today written a post.
You got to come in with.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
The knowledge of.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
A solid hour. I would say.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Every day sometimes more of prep just y, you know,
just reading websites and you know.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
That's what you.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
Will.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
And the thing is, when you don't do it, the
audience will know because you'll go to the phones for
ninety calls and then you'll let people ramble and they'll go, Okay, well,
Ryan did not step up up today.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
So so anyway.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
I got back to my house and got in bed
at two forty in the morning.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Oh out, it's wow. Yesterday.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Well, first of all, let me do the positive of
the weekend. Okay, just an awesome weekend with my mom. Yes,
I mean getting to go to Dallas, spend spent basically
four days with my parents and my mom's really good
friend who's also my friend, some cousins of mine, and
watching my mom graduate was one of the It was
(03:34):
one of the coolest things that I've ever done. I mean,
watching how happy she was we got there. Here's going
to be a shock. She graduated with highest honors. So
they have honors, high honors and highest honors, and she
was in she was in the highest honors. I counted
there were only like, there were probably three hundred and
fifty four hundred people that graduated. There might have been
(03:55):
twenty that had three stars, and she was one of them.
So that was really really neat.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
We we know how happy you are because you know
how excited she was to do this.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
I mean it was just like for those well you've
seen your kids graduate from things.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Yeah, she's not my kids. She's my mom.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
But like I got to experience that whole thing where
they walk, you know, they walk, they march in and
then you look for them and you go, there she is,
and everybody points as if you didn't see her just
a few hours before, right, And then they get up
there and they call the name and you take a picture, right,
you give a woo woo.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Well we were.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Admonished not to real which I want to talk about.
But but the whole time was great. She you could
tell how happy she was, and uh, you know, met
all of her professors. Like I sort of felt like
the parent going, so, how is my mother doing in school?
Was she a pleasant student? Attention? Did you pay attention?
And they all, you know, they all talked about how
(04:58):
wonderful she was. So it's probably the club sus ivor
get to be to be a parent of someone who
certainly graduates from Seminary Shannon, But maybe just in general,
if I don't end up having a kid, I.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Know, you're very proud of her and we're all very
happy for her, and I'm glad that you got to
experience that.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
It was great.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Now, I mean we also you know, there was a
lot of like going too things were all over Dallas,
which was taking three seventy year old plus people in
an uber everywhere throughout Dallas. A lot of folding me
into the back. So think about it. Most most you
know SUVs, they have a front seat, two back seats,
(05:35):
and then the seat.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Where you put the luggage.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Yeah, I was the one getting into that seat every time.
So by the end of it, I was a pretzel
pretty much the entire time.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
So that was great.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
The negative is, I'm not sure America's had a worse
day in an airport than the Dallas Airport had yesterday.
I mean we got there at one o'clock. My parents
still haven't they're still in Dallas. They still I haven't
gotten home. My flight took off at like ten forty five.
We were on the same flight, we got ended up
(06:06):
on different flights. It was a circus. You know, they
had bad weather there and so it was just you know,
delay moved to this gate, moved to this gate. They
I think American Airlines yesterday had six people in the
whole building working like you know, now you can't find
a person, yeah, right, you can't. Like when you know, Ryan,
it wasn't that long ago. There'd be gate agents or people.
(06:27):
There's no one anywhere, and they're just like it's like
Lord of the Flies. And if you don't have if
you don't know how to use the app Ryan, you're
completely on your own, and it's it's unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
One of the worst experiences in life is flight troubles,
when you're stuck in an airport because you're just stuck there.
You're at their mercy. You're stuck. There's nothing you can do.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
You can and like complaining doesn't help because it's not
like these people control anything right, and by the end
of a day like that, they're ready to shoot everyone.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
You could just see it in their face.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
They're like, I don't get paid enough to deal with
all of because no one at an airport Drew is happy,
you know, when there's delays. I've said a long time,
I think the worst job on planet Earth would be
the people that have to deal with people who've lost
their baggage.
Speaker 6 (07:14):
Oh yeah, because you didn't lose it. If you're not
the one that's gonna find it. You just have a
computer and you have to take the complaints.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
There was a man who was in a cowboy hat
and he was just yelling at everyone, going, y'all are
incompetent air?
Speaker 4 (07:28):
What of you?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
And the guy was like, the pilot is in Denver,
what do you want me to do? And he just ah,
And I thought, man, you know, so I was frustrated.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
I could be, but you can't get frustrated.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Those like there's nothing anybody can do about it, and
you're just stuck and and and you know, and so
then we get on different flights.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
Mine goes theirs, does it? So I feel bad about that.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
You know, they're still there, you know, and they and
they can't get on a flight till tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
I hope.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
Uh. The travel the problems are having doesn't take away
from the fun of the wind, but it does seem
like a heck of a it was a struggle of
getting home for them.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I would just say this the Dallas Airport. There's a
circle of Dante's Hell for this Dallas Airport. I mean,
they say they're remodeling it. I'd say, just starto. Just
everyone collectively agree for three years none of us are
going to Dallas.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
Let them rebuild that thing, Ryan, and then try it.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
I know you're feeling some guilt because I feel bad.
I feel like, you know, maybe now they can go
to the.
Speaker 7 (08:35):
Well.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
We didn't get to go. Yeah, so now they can go. Okay,
they can go to the grassy. No, it closed. You
wouldn't think they would close a piece of grass, but
they do close the piece of grass, and now maybe
they'll go.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
Yes, like Chick fil a? Was it just closed yesterday
and you all had bad timing or closed it like four.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
O'clock on Saturday. We weren't able to get there. But anyway,
thank you to the many of you who went. I
posted stuff, wrote nice things. I showed it to my mom.
She's set and scrolled on my Facebook and read all
of it. Even though my mom loves reading everything on Facebook,
she refuses to get Facebook, so she got to read
all those comments people put on my thing.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
We were taking amback because Friday during our show here
you posted a picture of her and her cap. Again,
we thought, oh the graduation was from that's.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
The like, you know, how to have a religious ceremony.
I think in some schools it's called a baca laureate.
There it's called like church.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
And but she had to wear a capping down to
that event.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Also, and you know classic Vince Merrill my mom says,
I want you to send a picture of this to
Vince merrill. I send a picture and Vince goes, I
know that guy, and it's that it was Tony Evans
and they're buddies. Vince knows everybody.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Amazing.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I thought you're gonna say, Vince was there, No, I mean,
well maybe setting the back. So anyway, a lot of fun,
and again, thank you to everybody, and thank you all
for holding down the court while I was gone.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
Congratulations to Karen.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
All right, there's a a lot.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Of get to.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
First of all, this morning, great Osibor picked Washington, which, again,
if he wasn't gonna come here, I'm good with that
because the other choice is Louisville, so we'll take it.
The report is that he got offered two million dollars,
which if true, and again I every single report about money,
(10:21):
I'm skeptical. But if it were true, Drew would make
him the highest paid NIL player ever.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
Do you buy that?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
There was rumors that there was a guy in Washington
wanting to overpay, so I know that he was gonna
get a lot of money going there, but two million
dollars to be at Washington yeah. I mean, he was
the Mountain West player of the year. But the guy's
coming from Utah State and he's getting two million. Good
for him if that's true, And I see why he
wanted to wait around. I think we all thought there
was gonna be a Kentucky commitment till they started shopping
(10:53):
a little more.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
But see that's the story behind the stories for people
who wonder how it played out.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
They to take up for scoop here, they said they
were gonna come what three weeks ago, right after it
was hired, and UK sort of was moving thinking Okay,
this is gonna happen, and then all of a sudden
they get up and well, we're gonna take four visits,
and rumors start to come they're finishing with Washington, and
(11:20):
Washington has said, whatever you get an offer from from
somebody else, you're we're.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Gonna beat it.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
And at that point, I think Kentucky still felt like,
well we got to try. And then they got the
Garrison Yeah commitment, and they said, you know what, if
we're gonna get out bid anyway, let's just take this kid.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
I think they did there in that situation. We had
to get we don't want to lose both these guys
and if osa Bar is like shopping himself around and
remember was it Norlander one of those guys tweeted out
the asking price was one point five and if somebody
in Washington was going and willing to overpay whatever he got,
I'm sure that was.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
Like I keep saying, this was the year. Yep, I
think this was the year to be in the portal.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
I just feel like the numbers will alter because what's
gonna happen is whether it's John L. Davis or Osbor
or somebody like a kid's not gonna have a great
year after they pay all that, and there's gonna be
people going, I ain't doing that again. But this was
the year that you could sort of speculate and because
the thing is all right, if he makes Washington a
top fifteen team, then maybe it was worth it.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Now they still won't make the money back, but I don't.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Know, maybe they say, uh, you know, maybe they say
it was worth it.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Who knows.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
That's what I wonder. How sustainable all this is, even
the rules don't change. Rich people are eventually gonna get
tired of paying a couple million a year.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
You're paying you can you're not gonna make the money back.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
You can only sit so close to the court. Yeah,
eventually you're gonna think I could be doing something else
with this.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
So, now Kentucky is waiting on the commitment, which is
supposed to come in the next two days of either
Chas Lanier will hopefully decide to not be in the draft,
and it would be Kentucky or Tennessee. You got people
out there saying it's definitely Kentucky, and you have people
out there saying it's definitely Tennessee. And I kind of
(13:08):
think Ryan that means nobody really knows for sure.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Pope went up to watch him play this weekend Chicago,
So I mean they're putting the full court press on him,
trying to get a commitment from him.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
So, and then you have Jackson Robinson, who I still
think Kentucky's a favorite for but I don't think people
realize there are a couple other schools. I still think
he'll come here, but you know, I don't think that's certain.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
So one of these things has got to pay out. Drew.
I mean, like we've talked about it.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
I think they need one more guy to assure that
they're they're really good, and we'll see which one it is.
If you had to guess which one you think it's
gonna be.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
I'll guess Robinson. I've just had that in my mind
since Pope got the job, if that big a guy
whould follow him, although you know he could be one.
With the draft as poor as it is this year,
he might even decide to stay in if he gets
a promise. I don't think he has one now, still
second round grade, but I also still lean him.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
What about you?
Speaker 6 (14:01):
And they better get one of the lanier Robinson, Woga Poplar.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
They gotta get one, one of the three.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
They gotta get one and then and be awesome if
they got two. But they gotta get one.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
And woogo Poplar had a big day yesterday at the
the What do you.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Think I'm like kind of Drew. I always felt like that.
You know, Robinson, I think has been with Pope. I
think you probably got advice from Pope. Hey man, just
go test the waters. You know you do?
Speaker 5 (14:24):
You are you? He was gonna do it.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
But which one do you think comes here if they
don't go to the draft.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
I'm gonna go Robinson?
Speaker 5 (14:32):
All right, Yeah, I'm gonna say Robinson.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
But again it might be a situation like with uh,
with osibor where if Lanier says I want to.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Come, you can't wait. You can't wait because you can't
end up with neither of them.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Ye, right, So so we'll see if I'm nine to
eight oh twenty two eighty seven. My mom texted said
it was called.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Chapel Chapel the thing on the event on Friday. But
she looked cute in her coat and her cap and gown. Awesome.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
Yeah, well, because of course she did.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Everywhere we went by the way, we would be sitting
right next to each other and people would say, you.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
Are mother's son.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
No doubt.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Oh, there's no doubt, because especially with her hair in
the cap, we really do look a lot of like
we'll take a break. A five nine two eight oh
twenty two eighty seven. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome back,
Kentucky Sports Radio. A five nine two eight oh twenty
two eighty seven.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
You know the the guy that was cussing yesterday, He
got so bad at the American Airlines people that other
people were yelling at him. Think about that, all those
people were delayed and they were like, you are being
such a jerk that you need to stop.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Yeah, you're on the same boat. You're all stuck there.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Yes, it was, it was. It was awful A five nine,
two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. Did any Shandon Did.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
You go to the John Legend event, the UK football event?
Speaker 7 (15:50):
No?
Speaker 4 (15:50):
I didn't make it.
Speaker 8 (15:51):
I think Drew did.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Though, what do you mean you didn't make it? We
got you tickets. You just decided you were too cool
to come.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
No, some things happened that were unavoidable and I couldn't
make it.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Okay, so he couldn't do it. Well, there you go.
Did you get to go?
Speaker 7 (16:04):
No?
Speaker 6 (16:04):
I went to Bergatzi. I went by where John Legend was,
but he and Bergazzi were at the same time and
we chose comedy. But some friends that went, so it
was really good. I saw how it looked. It looked
like there's a lot of people, looked like a good time.
I didn't hear the actual music, but the people that
were there, I heard good things.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
You have a picture of Stoops and Pope with their
arms around each other. Good sign right, Like that's not
something we saw for the last three years, So that's good.
The two Marks.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Chilling out, you know, gonna be able to pull for
each other, support each other, help each other. So it's
gonna be a great relationship.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
And has to be good for UK folk.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
I don't know what they ended up raising with that,
but it had to be a lot considering what it
cost and to make it worthwhile for John Legend, that
had to be I would think Ryan a massive UK
football day.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Yeah, you know, use your your resources, right. His nephew's
playing on the team, so you kind of get him
to come in and help out the team.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
So he also sang, I mean you get on Legend
singing for your football team. That's how many how many
teams are getting something like that, right, Like, I mean
how many teams.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
It's a great idea for a fund for a fundraiser.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
You know, we've talked a lot about nil with UK basketball,
but I think the UK basketball reinjecting of nil money
has also helped UK football because some of the people
that have got involved the football team goes, hey, yeah,
how about us too over here? And some people I
think have done it. I mean I think the I
(17:30):
think the Mark Pope energy. We'll see what happens on
the court, but the energy has actually helped the nil for.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
Boat sports yep. And with football having that John Legend concert.
I mean, you can't expect to do that all the time.
But we were just saying, these boosters so much money,
they eventually have to get something in return if they're
just going to keep funding all your players, and unique
events like a common private concert are one good way
to keep that money coming in.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Yeah, I wish. How did the four of us none
of where were?
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Why didn't you go? My niece got married in Alabama
this weekend? So I was in Alabama all weekend.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
You go, you went to the niece's wedding.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Yeah, my favorite niece.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
How many nieces do you have?
Speaker 4 (18:08):
One?
Speaker 3 (18:10):
I like the others, But see that you could see
totally Shannon that he would have more than one niece
and he would still pick one.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Oh yeah, doing that. So I was that that made
me worried.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Because you know they are all Auburn people. They all
went to Auburn Soul. They playing cheerful, but boy, they
plan on coming up and stay at my house in
October when Auburn plays up here this fall.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
It wasn't the Dallas Airport, but you all missed Mayhem
and Lexington with because Bergazi and John Legend in the
same building at the same time. Yeah, I don't so
it was trying to downtown.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Let me let me just say something to the leaders
of Lexington and some of this is unavoidable.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
But this city is now too big.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
There are too many people in this city, and I
don't like we have to do something.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
There's too many people and not enough roads.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
There's like one hundred thousand people have moved to this
town in the last three months. I think that's science, okay, right,
And and this city can't it can't handle it. And
and the wee when there is any event now at Reparina,
the whole city becomes undrivable. It does, and what can
what are we gonna do about that? This is I mean,
(19:16):
for those of you that live in Louisville, there's traffic
in Louisville, but it's the same traffic Shannon, right, it's
traffic out Bardstown Road. It's traffic, uh out there next
to the Gene Snyder sixty five. Yeah, so there's there's traffic,
but like it's predictable. This city. I've never seen a
place where at any moment you just can't move and
(19:37):
there's nowhere to go. There's no escape route, right, What
are we gonna do? Remember, mister mayor, what are we
gonna do?
Speaker 6 (19:44):
I was late a month ago because they were putting
up the Keelan flags down the town.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
It stops the city graduation here.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Honestly, it's like when you see those those videos of
like streets in Africa and Egypt where they don't have
lanes and stuff and there's just people and and boats
and everything in the middle of the car.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
That's what it's like downtown. What are we gonna do?
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Well, you know my plan is gonna be, you know,
to eliminate the sidewalks. We don't need sidewalks.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
It just gave a crazy look when you said when
you said that, like that's the worst plan, you understand.
One of the ways to do it would be to
get people not to drive.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
You can't walk all the way from Fayette Mall to downtown.
Got to expand nobody. Nobody walks up and down those streets.
Take those sidewalks down, expand it out, and it's let's
make some more more roads. Widen the roads.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
I think a tram around New Circle, a tram around
New circle.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Well, I mean, it would be nice to have, but
it is this city when there is anything going on,
especially if it's downtown, locks it up.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Forget it, forget it.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
I mean it's it's absolutely totally locks it up. And
and so I'm so, I'm And when it happens on
a Friday night, it's even more it is because you
get the people trying to go home on all that.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
Well, just just think how unique that is. I mean,
those are two superstars right now. There's not really anyone
bigger in comedy than Bergazzi and John Lege has been
doing it forever and they're in the same building. How
often does an arena double book two people like that? So,
I mean it was it was chaos, fun but chaos.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
Who's up? Fire? Shit?
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Aaron?
Speaker 5 (21:19):
Aaron, go ahead erin.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Hey, Matt, I think it's interesting. I mean, I know
it doesn't mean anything, but when you.
Speaker 7 (21:26):
Look at the college preseason college basketball preseason rankings, they
have Arkansas right, who doesn't have a full roster, and
we're not right.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
Yeah, but that's I struggle with the preseason ratings.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
And I appreciate the call because there's I can't tell
I have no idea.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
How you you preseason rate.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
College basketball right now, especially teams like Kentucky and Arkansas.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
You don't even have their full roster.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
I mean you don't None of these dudes have ever
played together. I don't know how in the world. Like,
if you were to tell me where should Kentucky be
ranked in the preseason, I have no idea, no idea.
You could convince me to put them tenth. You could
convince me they're unranked, and I have no idea.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Do you know they're these They're worthless because you have
no idea what the roster are gonna look like by
the time the season gets there ready to start.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
But also even if I know the roster, I don't
know how these guys are gonna work together. I mean
they're all from none of them have ever played together.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
Right, Yeah, we probably wouldn't even get the starting line up,
rob if we're trying to guess it, I don't freak idea,
but it's it's not s.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Let me ask you seven seven two seven seven four
five two five four what do you think Kentucky's preseason
rating should be. We'll give ours when we come back,
but it is really hard, you know, John Rostein has
Kentucky forty fourth, and people are well, I don't think
they're forty fourth, but trying to figure out where they
are is not easy.
Speaker 5 (22:54):
Also because let's be honest, none of us know these
other teams.
Speaker 6 (22:57):
Yeah, what do you think about the bracketology that's out
right now?
Speaker 3 (23:00):
I mean Joe Lenardi, I get he has to get money,
but like bracketology.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
TJ.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
He'll make them pay. Now.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
More of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's
Matt Jones.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
Welcome back is Kentucky Sports Radios.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Text machine is seven seven two seven seven four five
two five four. People write in let me know where
you think we're gonna be in the rankings. Let's go quickly, Ryan,
where do you think we are pre season starts? Where
do you think we should be preseason?
Speaker 4 (23:29):
Right? I think we'll be close to the top twenty five,
So I'll stay with time on between twenty and twenty five.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
I will say number twenty two for no other reason
than that's just the first number that popped in my head.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
All right, Channon, twenty five? Yeah, I mean that seems
to be the consensus.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
I'm gonna say, if we get Jackson Robinson, I would
put us like seventeen or eighteen. I think we're gonna
if we don't get him that I think, to be
quite frank with you, we probably won't be ranked.
Speaker 5 (23:55):
I think it's unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
To me the way people assume one thing about Arkansas
but won't assume it about us. I mean, what, we
have guys who've all been good in college. Now do
we have a guy that's been a star? Not yet,
But we have guys who've all been solved. You know,
if you're looking at Arkansas right now John L. Davis
(24:19):
star freshmen who are all ranked twentieth or lower. That's
not been a recipe for success over the years for
cow and then guys who didn't plot. I mean, you know,
Z might end up great, but if you look at
those stats, Z stats are worse than everybody.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
We have, right.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Yeah, A Do I like a lot same issue though,
I mean, like you can't look at A Do and say, well,
that guy's gonna be a star now if they get
DJ Wagner. I actually think DJ Wagner is gonna have
a huge year. But if you start a backcourt with
Dj Wagner, John L. Davis, and Boogie Flann. I don't
know that that's a group that can shoot. Now, they
(25:01):
could still end up really good, but so could we.
But I don't It's I don't think people are gonna
give us the benefit of the doubt. We're actually gonna
have to go ryan and actually go win games, which
I'm okay with, but I think that's what's gonna have
to happen.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Yeah, and we've got guys that are kind of already
proved themselves, and you know, you put these teams together
with these fifth year seniors, these older guys, most of
the time it does work. But last year at Arkansas
with Musselman, he was supposed to have a great team
and it.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
Just had all the court issues.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
But then again, there were other teams that did that
and it work and it worked. So don't know, you
just you really you really don't know. Here's what I
keep telling myself. Leave all the other teams aside. Go
look at that BYU roster last year. That team was
top twenty five all year. That team was a sixth
seed in the tournament, and while they lost, should have
(25:53):
been maybe a five seed.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
Drew our roster is gonna be better than that roster, right, Yeah.
That was their first year in the Big Twelve, one
of the hardest conferences in basketball. Yes, and if I'm
not mistaken, they were picked dead last in the preseason
in that conference. End up having a really good year,
making the tournament, beating Kansas. At Kansas, I think they
beat Baylor. So if Folk can do all that with
that roster people look at and don't recognize a lot
(26:16):
of the names and doing that at b YU, I'm
confident they'll take time.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
I'm very confident, I really am.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
I I don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
I mean, they're not I don't think we're gonna contend
for a title. But I don't see any reason they
can't be good. And they can't be NCAA Tournament good,
and they can't be second weekend NCAA Tournament good. I
don't see any reason. But I do think we need
one more player. Yeah, and we gotta get it.
Speaker 6 (26:43):
Let me make us floor is a lot higher. Like
I don't see these old guys always experienced wrong. But
like I don't see like a Wilmington coming into rupt
and you just have a horrible game because it's a
bunch of freshmen still learning stuff. I think that they
might not be as good in the end, but I
think the floor will be a lot higher where they're and.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
With the way this team will play defense because they've
got three guys who were their conference players of the
year in defense, we're gonna be in every game, right
And we have an offensive coach who went and got
a bunch of defensive players.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
So I feel confident. Out Let me ask you. Did
you get to see the whole Northern Lights thing that
happened here?
Speaker 4 (27:22):
So I was in Alabama, so I didn't see it.
I saw all the pictures of all the people here
in Kentucky. They got to it. I didn't get to
enjoy it. Did you see?
Speaker 6 (27:29):
I have strong thoughts about this. I did not see it.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
I don't did anyone like I kept seeing pictures on
Instagram in Facebook?
Speaker 5 (27:36):
Huh?
Speaker 3 (27:36):
But then when I talked to people, they were like,
I didn't see it. Then Hubby told me that you
couldn't see it unless you looked at it through your phone,
which doesn't make any sense to me. Help me understand scientifically,
why if I can't look at it with my eyes,
I can see it through my phone?
Speaker 6 (27:59):
How does That's part of the reason I'm upset. First,
their marketing department needs to be fired because I didn't
hear a peep of this until it already happen. Wre
we supposed to know? Was I supposed to look up?
Like the clips? They started six months sending out flyers
and knocking on.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
The doors, and people were people booking it from all
over the world.
Speaker 6 (28:16):
So can you predict?
Speaker 5 (28:17):
Can you predict the northern line?
Speaker 4 (28:19):
I thought there was some sort of alert they put
out fighting in.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Norway they predicted, but why were we able to see
it here?
Speaker 4 (28:26):
I don't know. Do you know that about the.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Solar storm or something pushing down the northern lights?
Speaker 5 (28:33):
Okay, what does the solar storm mean?
Speaker 2 (28:36):
There's a storm in outer space?
Speaker 5 (28:38):
Like what kind of storm? Like it doesn't do it
doesn't space, does it?
Speaker 4 (28:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
You can't have thunder and lightning and outers, So what
is the solar storm?
Speaker 6 (28:48):
This is all my point. Why was all of this
put in front of us so we knew to look up?
And then after the fact, why am I learning? We're
all just looking at a filter that we used on
our phone.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
So that so, yeah, hummy, was like, if you looked
at it through your phone, you could see it, he goes,
because the phone can process it faster than your eyes.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
But isn't it still my eyes looking at the phone?
Speaker 6 (29:11):
I guess because it's making us You're.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
Really giving me a headache now now, But.
Speaker 5 (29:14):
Think okay, So like you look outside, let's say that there.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Let's just say you're looking at the sky right, yes,
and you can't see northern lock.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
Can't see it.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
But they say if you look through your phone, you'll
be able to see it.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
What I don't understand is when I hold the phone
up and I look through the phone, it's still those
same eyes. So if I couldn't process it without the phone,
why can't I process it.
Speaker 5 (29:35):
With the phone?
Speaker 4 (29:37):
We need to ask somebody that knows, because it's still
going through the same eyes that allegedly can't handle it.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Usually have the opposite problem, Like if you ever looked
up and seen like a huge moon and you try
to take a picture and it looks terrible on your phone.
Usually have the opposite problem of what what you're describing?
Speaker 5 (29:54):
So did people see it or did they just want
to be cool?
Speaker 6 (29:57):
I think everyone on Facebook is a liar. It's a
filter It's like when I'm looking at at Grandma and
she looks like grandma, but then you use a filter
and she's got a dog face or tongue sticking out
on the phone. You used an app. That's exactly what happens.
Speaker 5 (30:09):
So you don't think anybody.
Speaker 6 (30:10):
I think everyone once likes and they turned up the saturation.
I don't know what's the word color belor Yeah, they
messed with it so it looks cool to their friends
knowing they went outside.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Do you know anybody that's like the pictures I saw
would be like purple?
Speaker 5 (30:25):
Yeah, it was like, do you know anybody that salved that?
Speaker 4 (30:28):
Just some friends that sent me pictures of it.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
That's different sending you pictures, Crutch. Did you see it
the northern lit on a photo or did you see
it on a phone or did you see it with
your eyes with a photo? Every argument nobody saw it
at all. It's ai it's because everybody sees a photo.
But I don't know one person who said they went outside,
(30:52):
opened their eyes and saw.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
Salt just through their eyes. Nothing on the phone.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Because Humpy was like, you had to look at it
through a camera. But I still I don't understand it's
still my eyes looking at that camera. Yeah, so if
my eyes can't process it in real life, why can
my eyes process it through a camera because it's filtered.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
Camera captures the image.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
No, but okay, that's a still photo. I'm talking about
as it's happening. Do you know what I'm saying. D
we saw the northern lights on our Alaskan cruise.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
Right. It wasn't like that, not that wasn't purple, but
it was, you know, we saw the lights.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
I just and I'm kind of with you, Drew, why
did they just decide? Now?
Speaker 6 (31:37):
I feel like maybe it was out there and I
missed it. But I saw these pictures and I had
not heard one peep about like, hey, whatever, time go
outside and look up. This is gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
And I also, by the way, if people did see it,
I know you didn't see it in Lexington the lot
because there's too many lights. Like if you're out in
the cornfield and there's nothing, that might be different. But
when you like such Shannon, when you look up at
the sky cor day in Louisville, it's hard to see
the mood like stars and stuff because of all the lights.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Right, Yeah, I didn't see it. Anywhere where there's artificial light,
you're not going to see it. So if you're out
in the country somewhere, you may be on So you just.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
Think everybody's lying.
Speaker 6 (32:11):
Yeah, you know how Elon's app if someone's lying, it
now says like for context, this is actually the truth.
I think everyone's picture should say for context, they used
to filter in their liar. They didn't really see this.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Who's next, Shit, let's go to doing good, doing good?
Speaker 5 (32:24):
How are you?
Speaker 4 (32:26):
I'm doing great?
Speaker 5 (32:26):
Guys about yourselves? Good? What's up? Hey? I just wanted
to ask real quick.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
When you abandon your your mom down in Dallas.
Speaker 5 (32:35):
Stop if you would you like in the situation.
Speaker 9 (32:38):
More to like when George was running out of the
apartment that was on fire, knocking the ladies and children
to the side, or more along the lines of Pompeii
when it got consumed by Mount Vesuvius.
Speaker 5 (32:51):
I didn't So I didn't know what to do, all right.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
I appreciate the call when it was clear we were
on different flights, you know mine, some is their flight.
What was happening is the later flights were going off,
and it was all the ones that were during like
four to seven o'clock that were getting canceled. And so
my assumption is the later flights were gonna go off.
It was those in that period that were gone. But
(33:17):
then when we ended up in different places.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
I felt bad.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
So I was like, I said to my parents, I'll
just stay here, and then they're like, but you won't even.
Speaker 5 (33:24):
Have a flight at that point, which is true.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
But I did feel bad because I you know, and
then of course when I when we were about to
take off, and then I saw THEIRS was canceled. So
I spent the entire trip on Wi Fi trying to
help them find other flights, and you know, people, it
was it was war. It was again lord of the flights.
There were no flights. I mean we were talking about
(33:50):
I was thinking, all right, I'll get Mario he and
I'll go to Dayton pick them up on a frontier flight.
But I can't put somebody on a frontier flight. But
the only thing the whole trip, I was working to
try to find them something, and honestly, there was nothing,
because it's it's chaos and the Dallas Airport should be closed.
Speaker 6 (34:09):
In your defense, I don't know what happened there. Maybe
you just took off run and left them. I don't know,
but one of the first things you said today when
you walked in was that you felt bad being home
because they were still there. You did say that, not
on the show when you walked them to the bar
this morning. I did if you left them.
Speaker 5 (34:24):
But could you not?
Speaker 3 (34:25):
We'd been sitting there all day? You know, it was clear,
especially my dad was really tight. You know, that's a
whole other thing. They had so few people on staff.
You know, he needs help getting through the airport, and
they gave it to us until they were gonna leave,
and then there wasn't anybody there.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
Like I said, hopefully they can enjoy something today in
Dallas to kind of ease all this anxiety that had
to go through the left.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
And I wrote, you know, I always tell you when
you don't when you can't get customer service. Is my
one piece of advice to people. Go to the apps,
go to Twitter, because they'll respond. They do respond, but
then sometimes they just look at you go sorry, enjoyed
Chili's two? I mean, I mean that's what they said.
I was like, Okay, is there not something you can do?
(35:08):
And they're like, they can get on the flight on Tuesday.
Speaker 6 (35:12):
The more you say, the more I just hear that
we had another twenty years to driving on KSR road trips.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Oh oh yes, if I had been in Kentucky in time,
I would have just.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
Driven down there. But oh, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 3 (35:27):
Hey, it's that great time of year, nice weather, making
travel plans, baseball season.

foot four person behind.
Speaker 5 (35:58):
You should be shit. Violence cannot lean back on the plane.
Speaker 6 (36:07):
That's what they put the there for.
Speaker 5 (36:09):
Yeah, but then all of a sudden, I'm eating my knee.
We'll be right back water back take you sports radio?
Speaker 4 (36:19):
All right?
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Text machines right, somebody says, Matt. It has to do
with the aperture on your phone. What is aperure?
Speaker 4 (36:26):
Hey, don't even know how to spell it. I have
no idea.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
I know ambisure, which is what I would use to
play the trumpet with my You have an ambissure on
your mouth, but I don't know what an amperture?
Speaker 6 (36:37):
Does your phone even have that?
Speaker 4 (36:38):
I don't know, but I know just you saying that
I did a ton of pictures. People all took pictures
of the northern lights.
Speaker 5 (36:45):
Yeah, but I don't think they saw it with their
naked eye.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
So these folks here, think about this from Pendleton casti
in Campbell County. One of them now lives in Dubai.
Whoa the other one in Campbell County. They got a
guest here from Russia. That's that's quite a group making
their way here.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
I can see a lot of similarities between Foulmouth and Dubai.
Quite a change.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
He flies for Immirates Airlines, which people say is the
nicest air.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
They wouldn't have stranded you and your mom in Dallas.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
They would not know, they would not have There's there's
no doubt about that. If I'm nine two eight oh
twenty two eighty seven. What about UK is going to
play Western in Rupperina next year as part of the
schedule the Cats and the toppers.
Speaker 5 (37:27):
Ryan.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
Of all the people, I know, you probably like that
more than anybody.
Speaker 4 (37:30):
I almost jumped up and down and did a wood woot.
I was so happy to hear that. I think that's
something Pope will do every year.
Speaker 5 (37:37):
He says.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
Good.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
He said they want to play at least one in
state school every year.
Speaker 4 (37:42):
I think it's awesome. I think it's great for the
kids that are playing these other schools because a lot
of times they grew up dreaming wanting to play a rough. Okay,
maybe you could play against UK at Rough. That's a big,
big deal for the other schools that around the state. Murray, Western, Eastern, Northern.
I love it. Morehead. I'm glad. I think he's gonna
do that and be very successful at it.
Speaker 5 (38:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (38:02):
I hope you see a lot of us in the future.
We've done a good job recently of playing Kentucky State
in Georgetown and working the smaller schools in the next We.
Speaker 5 (38:09):
Played Morehead quite a bit, yeah.
Speaker 6 (38:11):
But now going out the directional schools. They played Western
with Oscar.
Speaker 5 (38:15):
They did, and they had that big tall guy, yeah.
Speaker 6 (38:18):
And they ran into them in the tournament. I guess
years ago in the Colnara before that. I don't know,
it's too many games.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
I mean, the problem for Western and Murray has always
been their desire to play back there. But if they
take that away, I'm for it. I had somebody right
and say they wanted our our like three team four
team tournament every year to be like Eastern Western. I'm
against that, but one game a year against one of
(38:44):
those teams, I'm for that. Let's not get ahead of
ourselves right like we need to, especially now with these
tournaments paying ni own money and MAUI we don't need to.
I mean when they're doing that this year, but we
don't need to be wasting our tournament on playing these
little teams anymore. Or I know that was a col thing,
but I hope that doesn't continue going forward.
Speaker 6 (39:04):
We spread out these Kentucky games.
Speaker 4 (39:07):
Yeah somewhere, and I think everybody'll be happy with that,
and you know, take out a Texas Commerce or a
stone Hill or some of these other teams and put
in once a local school. So I'm excited about it.
I think I heard Billy say this morning on the
pre show they've only played each other like nine times
in Western Yeah, seven.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
Times Western ever won? Oh they did with Patrick with
Patrick Sparks area. Was that the only time they won?
Speaker 8 (39:33):
No.
Speaker 4 (39:34):
In seventy one, they beat Kentucky to go to the
final four with Jim McDaniels in that group.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
Okay, so the times I remember us playing was the
Patrick Sparks Yeah, you're right. We played them in the
regular season and then we played them in the NCAA
Tournament twenty fifteen.
Speaker 5 (39:47):
Is that right?
Speaker 4 (39:48):
It was in Louisville, right, It was in Louisville, Yeah, Louisville.
Speaker 5 (39:51):
It was in Louisville.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
We played Eastern in the tournament one time in Louisville too,
didn't we Yes?
Speaker 8 (39:56):
Or no?
Speaker 3 (39:56):
In Indianapolis, that's where we It was in Indianapolis. It
was in Indianapolis. That was when tub He was here.
But uh, but yeah, I have a recent one. It
was something with COVID. We weren't even supposed to play them.
Speaker 6 (40:05):
Yeah, we were supposed to them. We were supposed to
play Louisville.
Speaker 4 (40:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
Well Louisville chickened out and said they were sick, and
we played Western instead.
Speaker 6 (40:13):
The only reason that ended up.
Speaker 5 (40:14):
Yeah, I remember that. All right, who's next?
Speaker 4 (40:16):
Mark?
Speaker 5 (40:16):
Mark?
Speaker 8 (40:17):
Go ahead and Mark, Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (40:22):
I just wanted to say, I think the cats will
come in about twenty second, like you said, depending on
if they get the good guard there or not. I
also want to say something about my hometown high school,
Bulinberg County High just won their six fishing championship bass fishing.
Speaker 5 (40:42):
It's a bat so they won.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
So they Muhlenberg won the bass fishing state title.
Speaker 8 (40:48):
They sure it did for the sixth time in eleven years.
Speaker 4 (40:52):
Look at that dynasty.
Speaker 5 (40:55):
The way man, am I right? I think I remember?
Don't you all though?
Speaker 4 (40:58):
Have it like in your.
Speaker 8 (41:02):
No, it's at Kentucky Lake. It's about a higher than
fifteen minutes much.
Speaker 3 (41:06):
I feel like home field advantage for the lake is
a big deal. I appreciate the call because if you
know where the fish are, I feel like that's a
big hill.
Speaker 6 (41:14):
Oh, they're traveling far. They don't have a home. I mean,
they got a little water in Meelnburg, but they're going
to the big lakes for this and dominating.
Speaker 4 (41:20):
And you'd think Lyon County or one of the counties
on the lakes would probably dominate the state fishing title.
Speaker 5 (41:25):
It is.
Speaker 3 (41:25):
Uh, there can't be that many states that have a
fishing title. But congrats to Meulenburg County for making it happen.
By the way, we were talking about traffic earlier. Get
ready for traffic that first weekend in June. Let me
go over the event. Okay, Railbird, Big Kentucky High School
Track Championship, Big Kentucky High School Baseball Championship. And it
(41:48):
looks like we're gonna be hosting baseball regionals all the
same weekend. That's exactly what happened last year, and it
looks like it's gonna happen again. And they're already out
of hotel rooms, so we may have to put somebody
in a door again, just like we did last year.
Speaker 6 (42:02):
Don't forget Blippy. Is it Reperina who blippy? Some kids thing?
But add to what is blippy? I don't know, but
added to the list, it's a big Reparina thing and
it's for children. It's like a kid's something or other.
Speaker 4 (42:14):
Which they'll be a big crowd.
Speaker 6 (42:15):
Adding it to the more.
Speaker 5 (42:17):
Do you all know what blippy is? No one knows
what blippy? Do not know? We're kids, that's true.
Speaker 3 (42:23):

for us to discuss. I know you can just show up,

We're gonna sit down here and Tom Hart's gonna flip

Speaker 3 (02:03):
But that's what So that's what you have to do.
Shannon does that every day, That's right. Don't you do
that for the pre show? Now, yeah, you get to
do it, Drew, Drew does it for the website.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Really it's more on you, Okay.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I feel like you're the one that you're the one
that's gonna have to change their daily routine.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
So like it's really more on you. Yeah, that's true,
because I can just take a shower, get in the card,
put the headphones.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
On that you know.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
I mean, that's not what you're supposed to do, Drew,
Like you're actually supposed to, even in a secondary role, prepare,
and now he will be in the primary world.
Speaker 6 (02:33):
I'm not gonna say I'm perfect preparing, but I've already
had two hours of KS right today written a post.
You got to come in with.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
The knowledge of.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
A solid hour. I would say.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Every day sometimes more of prep just y, you know,
just reading websites and you know.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
That's what you.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
Will.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
And the thing is, when you don't do it, the
audience will know because you'll go to the phones for
ninety calls and then you'll let people ramble and they'll go, Okay, well,
Ryan did not step up up today.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
So so anyway.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
I got back to my house and got in bed
at two forty in the morning.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Oh out, it's wow. Yesterday.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Well, first of all, let me do the positive of
the weekend. Okay, just an awesome weekend with my mom. Yes,
I mean getting to go to Dallas, spend spent basically
four days with my parents and my mom's really good
friend who's also my friend, some cousins of mine, and
watching my mom graduate was one of the It was
(03:34):
one of the coolest things that I've ever done. I mean,
watching how happy she was we got there. Here's going
to be a shock. She graduated with highest honors. So
they have honors, high honors and highest honors, and she
was in she was in the highest honors. I counted
there were only like, there were probably three hundred and
fifty four hundred people that graduated. There might have been
(03:55):
twenty that had three stars, and she was one of them.
So that was really really neat.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
We we know how happy you are because you know
how excited she was to do this.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
I mean it was just like for those well you've
seen your kids graduate from things.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Yeah, she's not my kids. She's my mom.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
But like I got to experience that whole thing where
they walk, you know, they walk, they march in and
then you look for them and you go, there she is,
and everybody points as if you didn't see her just
a few hours before, right, And then they get up
there and they call the name and you take a picture, right,
you give a woo woo.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Well we were.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Admonished not to real which I want to talk about.
But but the whole time was great. She you could
tell how happy she was, and uh, you know, met
all of her professors. Like I sort of felt like
the parent going, so, how is my mother doing in school?
Was she a pleasant student? Attention? Did you pay attention?
And they all, you know, they all talked about how
(04:58):
wonderful she was. So it's probably the club sus ivor
get to be to be a parent of someone who
certainly graduates from Seminary Shannon, But maybe just in general,
if I don't end up having a kid, I.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Know, you're very proud of her and we're all very
happy for her, and I'm glad that you got to
experience that.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
It was great.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Now, I mean we also you know, there was a
lot of like going too things were all over Dallas,
which was taking three seventy year old plus people in
an uber everywhere throughout Dallas. A lot of folding me
into the back. So think about it. Most most you
know SUVs, they have a front seat, two back seats,
(05:35):
and then the seat.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Where you put the luggage.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Yeah, I was the one getting into that seat every time.
So by the end of it, I was a pretzel
pretty much the entire time.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
So that was great.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
The negative is, I'm not sure America's had a worse
day in an airport than the Dallas Airport had yesterday.
I mean we got there at one o'clock. My parents
still haven't they're still in Dallas. They still I haven't
gotten home. My flight took off at like ten forty five.
We were on the same flight, we got ended up
(06:06):
on different flights. It was a circus. You know, they
had bad weather there and so it was just you know,
delay moved to this gate, moved to this gate. They
I think American Airlines yesterday had six people in the
whole building working like you know, now you can't find
a person, yeah, right, you can't. Like when you know, Ryan,
it wasn't that long ago. There'd be gate agents or people.
(06:27):
There's no one anywhere, and they're just like it's like
Lord of the Flies. And if you don't have if
you don't know how to use the app Ryan, you're
completely on your own, and it's it's unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
One of the worst experiences in life is flight troubles,
when you're stuck in an airport because you're just stuck there.
You're at their mercy. You're stuck. There's nothing you can do.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
You can and like complaining doesn't help because it's not
like these people control anything right, and by the end
of a day like that, they're ready to shoot everyone.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
You could just see it in their face.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
They're like, I don't get paid enough to deal with
all of because no one at an airport Drew is happy,
you know, when there's delays. I've said a long time,
I think the worst job on planet Earth would be
the people that have to deal with people who've lost
their baggage.
Speaker 6 (07:14):
Oh yeah, because you didn't lose it. If you're not
the one that's gonna find it. You just have a
computer and you have to take the complaints.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
There was a man who was in a cowboy hat
and he was just yelling at everyone, going, y'all are
incompetent air?
Speaker 4 (07:28):
What of you?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
And the guy was like, the pilot is in Denver,
what do you want me to do? And he just ah,
And I thought, man, you know, so I was frustrated.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
I could be, but you can't get frustrated.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Those like there's nothing anybody can do about it, and
you're just stuck and and and you know, and so
then we get on different flights.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
Mine goes theirs, does it? So I feel bad about that.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
You know, they're still there, you know, and they and
they can't get on a flight till tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
I hope.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
Uh. The travel the problems are having doesn't take away
from the fun of the wind, but it does seem
like a heck of a it was a struggle of
getting home for them.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I would just say this the Dallas Airport. There's a
circle of Dante's Hell for this Dallas Airport. I mean,
they say they're remodeling it. I'd say, just starto. Just
everyone collectively agree for three years none of us are
going to Dallas.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
Let them rebuild that thing, Ryan, and then try it.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
I know you're feeling some guilt because I feel bad.
I feel like, you know, maybe now they can go
to the.
Speaker 7 (08:35):
Well.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
We didn't get to go. Yeah, so now they can go. Okay,
they can go to the grassy. No, it closed. You
wouldn't think they would close a piece of grass, but
they do close the piece of grass, and now maybe
they'll go.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
Yes, like Chick fil a? Was it just closed yesterday
and you all had bad timing or closed it like four.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
O'clock on Saturday. We weren't able to get there. But anyway,
thank you to the many of you who went. I
posted stuff, wrote nice things. I showed it to my mom.
She's set and scrolled on my Facebook and read all
of it. Even though my mom loves reading everything on Facebook,
she refuses to get Facebook, so she got to read
all those comments people put on my thing.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
We were taking amback because Friday during our show here
you posted a picture of her and her cap. Again,
we thought, oh the graduation was from that's.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
The like, you know, how to have a religious ceremony.
I think in some schools it's called a baca laureate.
There it's called like church.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
And but she had to wear a capping down to
that event.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Also, and you know classic Vince Merrill my mom says,
I want you to send a picture of this to
Vince merrill. I send a picture and Vince goes, I
know that guy, and it's that it was Tony Evans
and they're buddies. Vince knows everybody.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Amazing.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I thought you're gonna say, Vince was there, No, I mean,
well maybe setting the back. So anyway, a lot of fun,
and again, thank you to everybody, and thank you all
for holding down the court while I was gone.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
Congratulations to Karen.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
All right, there's a a lot.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Of get to.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
First of all, this morning, great Osibor picked Washington, which, again,
if he wasn't gonna come here, I'm good with that
because the other choice is Louisville, so we'll take it.
The report is that he got offered two million dollars,
which if true, and again I every single report about money,
(10:21):
I'm skeptical. But if it were true, Drew would make
him the highest paid NIL player ever.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
Do you buy that?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
There was rumors that there was a guy in Washington
wanting to overpay, so I know that he was gonna
get a lot of money going there, but two million
dollars to be at Washington yeah. I mean, he was
the Mountain West player of the year. But the guy's
coming from Utah State and he's getting two million. Good
for him if that's true, And I see why he
wanted to wait around. I think we all thought there
was gonna be a Kentucky commitment till they started shopping
(10:53):
a little more.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
But see that's the story behind the stories for people
who wonder how it played out.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
They to take up for scoop here, they said they
were gonna come what three weeks ago, right after it
was hired, and UK sort of was moving thinking Okay,
this is gonna happen, and then all of a sudden
they get up and well, we're gonna take four visits,
and rumors start to come they're finishing with Washington, and
(11:20):
Washington has said, whatever you get an offer from from
somebody else, you're we're.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Gonna beat it.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
And at that point, I think Kentucky still felt like,
well we got to try. And then they got the
Garrison Yeah commitment, and they said, you know what, if
we're gonna get out bid anyway, let's just take this kid.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
I think they did there in that situation. We had
to get we don't want to lose both these guys
and if osa Bar is like shopping himself around and
remember was it Norlander one of those guys tweeted out
the asking price was one point five and if somebody
in Washington was going and willing to overpay whatever he got,
I'm sure that was.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
Like I keep saying, this was the year. Yep, I
think this was the year to be in the portal.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
I just feel like the numbers will alter because what's
gonna happen is whether it's John L. Davis or Osbor
or somebody like a kid's not gonna have a great
year after they pay all that, and there's gonna be
people going, I ain't doing that again. But this was
the year that you could sort of speculate and because
the thing is all right, if he makes Washington a
top fifteen team, then maybe it was worth it.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Now they still won't make the money back, but I don't.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Know, maybe they say, uh, you know, maybe they say
it was worth it.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Who knows.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
That's what I wonder. How sustainable all this is, even
the rules don't change. Rich people are eventually gonna get
tired of paying a couple million a year.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
You're paying you can you're not gonna make the money back.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
You can only sit so close to the court. Yeah,
eventually you're gonna think I could be doing something else
with this.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
So, now Kentucky is waiting on the commitment, which is
supposed to come in the next two days of either
Chas Lanier will hopefully decide to not be in the draft,
and it would be Kentucky or Tennessee. You got people
out there saying it's definitely Kentucky, and you have people
out there saying it's definitely Tennessee. And I kind of
(13:08):
think Ryan that means nobody really knows for sure.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Pope went up to watch him play this weekend Chicago,
So I mean they're putting the full court press on him,
trying to get a commitment from him.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
So, and then you have Jackson Robinson, who I still
think Kentucky's a favorite for but I don't think people
realize there are a couple other schools. I still think
he'll come here, but you know, I don't think that's certain.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
So one of these things has got to pay out. Drew.
I mean, like we've talked about it.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
I think they need one more guy to assure that
they're they're really good, and we'll see which one it is.
If you had to guess which one you think it's
gonna be.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
I'll guess Robinson. I've just had that in my mind
since Pope got the job, if that big a guy
whould follow him, although you know he could be one.
With the draft as poor as it is this year,
he might even decide to stay in if he gets
a promise. I don't think he has one now, still
second round grade, but I also still lean him.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
What about you?
Speaker 6 (14:01):
And they better get one of the lanier Robinson, Woga Poplar.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
They gotta get one, one of the three.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
They gotta get one and then and be awesome if
they got two. But they gotta get one.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
And woogo Poplar had a big day yesterday at the
the What do you.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Think I'm like kind of Drew. I always felt like that.
You know, Robinson, I think has been with Pope. I
think you probably got advice from Pope. Hey man, just
go test the waters. You know you do?
Speaker 5 (14:24):
You are you? He was gonna do it.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
But which one do you think comes here if they
don't go to the draft.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
I'm gonna go Robinson?
Speaker 5 (14:32):
All right, Yeah, I'm gonna say Robinson.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
But again it might be a situation like with uh,
with osibor where if Lanier says I want to.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Come, you can't wait. You can't wait because you can't
end up with neither of them.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Ye, right, So so we'll see if I'm nine to
eight oh twenty two eighty seven. My mom texted said
it was called.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Chapel Chapel the thing on the event on Friday. But
she looked cute in her coat and her cap and gown. Awesome.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
Yeah, well, because of course she did.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Everywhere we went by the way, we would be sitting
right next to each other and people would say, you.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
Are mother's son.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
No doubt.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Oh, there's no doubt, because especially with her hair in
the cap, we really do look a lot of like
we'll take a break. A five nine two eight oh
twenty two eighty seven. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome back,
Kentucky Sports Radio. A five nine two eight oh twenty
two eighty seven.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
You know the the guy that was cussing yesterday, He
got so bad at the American Airlines people that other
people were yelling at him. Think about that, all those
people were delayed and they were like, you are being
such a jerk that you need to stop.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Yeah, you're on the same boat. You're all stuck there.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Yes, it was, it was. It was awful A five nine,
two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. Did any Shandon Did.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
You go to the John Legend event, the UK football event?
Speaker 7 (15:50):
No?
Speaker 4 (15:50):
I didn't make it.
Speaker 8 (15:51):
I think Drew did.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Though, what do you mean you didn't make it? We
got you tickets. You just decided you were too cool
to come.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
No, some things happened that were unavoidable and I couldn't
make it.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Okay, so he couldn't do it. Well, there you go.
Did you get to go?
Speaker 7 (16:04):
No?
Speaker 6 (16:04):
I went to Bergatzi. I went by where John Legend was,
but he and Bergazzi were at the same time and
we chose comedy. But some friends that went, so it
was really good. I saw how it looked. It looked
like there's a lot of people, looked like a good time.
I didn't hear the actual music, but the people that
were there, I heard good things.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
You have a picture of Stoops and Pope with their
arms around each other. Good sign right, Like that's not
something we saw for the last three years, So that's good.
The two Marks.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Chilling out, you know, gonna be able to pull for
each other, support each other, help each other. So it's
gonna be a great relationship.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
And has to be good for UK folk.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
I don't know what they ended up raising with that,
but it had to be a lot considering what it
cost and to make it worthwhile for John Legend, that
had to be I would think Ryan a massive UK
football day.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Yeah, you know, use your your resources, right. His nephew's
playing on the team, so you kind of get him
to come in and help out the team.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
So he also sang, I mean you get on Legend
singing for your football team. That's how many how many
teams are getting something like that, right, Like, I mean
how many teams.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
It's a great idea for a fund for a fundraiser.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
You know, we've talked a lot about nil with UK basketball,
but I think the UK basketball reinjecting of nil money
has also helped UK football because some of the people
that have got involved the football team goes, hey, yeah,
how about us too over here? And some people I
think have done it. I mean I think the I
(17:30):
think the Mark Pope energy. We'll see what happens on
the court, but the energy has actually helped the nil for.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
Boat sports yep. And with football having that John Legend concert.
I mean, you can't expect to do that all the time.
But we were just saying, these boosters so much money,
they eventually have to get something in return if they're
just going to keep funding all your players, and unique
events like a common private concert are one good way
to keep that money coming in.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Yeah, I wish. How did the four of us none
of where were?
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Why didn't you go? My niece got married in Alabama
this weekend? So I was in Alabama all weekend.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
You go, you went to the niece's wedding.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Yeah, my favorite niece.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
How many nieces do you have?
Speaker 4 (18:08):
One?
Speaker 3 (18:10):
I like the others, But see that you could see
totally Shannon that he would have more than one niece
and he would still pick one.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Oh yeah, doing that. So I was that that made
me worried.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Because you know they are all Auburn people. They all
went to Auburn Soul. They playing cheerful, but boy, they
plan on coming up and stay at my house in
October when Auburn plays up here this fall.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
It wasn't the Dallas Airport, but you all missed Mayhem
and Lexington with because Bergazi and John Legend in the
same building at the same time. Yeah, I don't so
it was trying to downtown.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Let me let me just say something to the leaders
of Lexington and some of this is unavoidable.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
But this city is now too big.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
There are too many people in this city, and I
don't like we have to do something.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
There's too many people and not enough roads.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
There's like one hundred thousand people have moved to this
town in the last three months. I think that's science, okay, right,
And and this city can't it can't handle it. And
and the wee when there is any event now at Reparina,
the whole city becomes undrivable. It does, and what can
what are we gonna do about that? This is I mean,
(19:16):
for those of you that live in Louisville, there's traffic
in Louisville, but it's the same traffic Shannon, right, it's
traffic out Bardstown Road. It's traffic, uh out there next
to the Gene Snyder sixty five. Yeah, so there's there's traffic,
but like it's predictable. This city. I've never seen a
place where at any moment you just can't move and
(19:37):
there's nowhere to go. There's no escape route, right, What
are we gonna do? Remember, mister mayor, what are we
gonna do?
Speaker 6 (19:44):
I was late a month ago because they were putting
up the Keelan flags down the town.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
It stops the city graduation here.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Honestly, it's like when you see those those videos of
like streets in Africa and Egypt where they don't have
lanes and stuff and there's just people and and boats
and everything in the middle of the car.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
That's what it's like downtown. What are we gonna do?
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Well, you know my plan is gonna be, you know,
to eliminate the sidewalks. We don't need sidewalks.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
It just gave a crazy look when you said when
you said that, like that's the worst plan, you understand.
One of the ways to do it would be to
get people not to drive.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
You can't walk all the way from Fayette Mall to downtown.
Got to expand nobody. Nobody walks up and down those streets.
Take those sidewalks down, expand it out, and it's let's
make some more more roads. Widen the roads.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
I think a tram around New Circle, a tram around
New circle.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Well, I mean, it would be nice to have, but
it is this city when there is anything going on,
especially if it's downtown, locks it up.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Forget it, forget it.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
I mean it's it's absolutely totally locks it up. And
and so I'm so, I'm And when it happens on
a Friday night, it's even more it is because you
get the people trying to go home on all that.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
Well, just just think how unique that is. I mean,
those are two superstars right now. There's not really anyone
bigger in comedy than Bergazzi and John Lege has been
doing it forever and they're in the same building. How
often does an arena double book two people like that? So,
I mean it was it was chaos, fun but chaos.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
Who's up? Fire? Shit?
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Aaron?
Speaker 5 (21:19):
Aaron, go ahead erin.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Hey, Matt, I think it's interesting. I mean, I know
it doesn't mean anything, but when you.
Speaker 7 (21:26):
Look at the college preseason college basketball preseason rankings, they
have Arkansas right, who doesn't have a full roster, and
we're not right.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
Yeah, but that's I struggle with the preseason ratings.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
And I appreciate the call because there's I can't tell
I have no idea.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
How you you preseason rate.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
College basketball right now, especially teams like Kentucky and Arkansas.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
You don't even have their full roster.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
I mean you don't None of these dudes have ever
played together. I don't know how in the world. Like,
if you were to tell me where should Kentucky be
ranked in the preseason, I have no idea, no idea.
You could convince me to put them tenth. You could
convince me they're unranked, and I have no idea.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Do you know they're these They're worthless because you have
no idea what the roster are gonna look like by
the time the season gets there ready to start.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
But also even if I know the roster, I don't
know how these guys are gonna work together. I mean
they're all from none of them have ever played together.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
Right, Yeah, we probably wouldn't even get the starting line up,
rob if we're trying to guess it, I don't freak idea,
but it's it's not s.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Let me ask you seven seven two seven seven four
five two five four what do you think Kentucky's preseason
rating should be. We'll give ours when we come back,
but it is really hard, you know, John Rostein has
Kentucky forty fourth, and people are well, I don't think
they're forty fourth, but trying to figure out where they
are is not easy.
Speaker 5 (22:54):
Also because let's be honest, none of us know these
other teams.
Speaker 6 (22:57):
Yeah, what do you think about the bracketology that's out
right now?
Speaker 3 (23:00):
I mean Joe Lenardi, I get he has to get money,
but like bracketology.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
TJ.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
He'll make them pay. Now.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
More of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's
Matt Jones.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
Welcome back is Kentucky Sports Radios.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Text machine is seven seven two seven seven four five
two five four. People write in let me know where
you think we're gonna be in the rankings. Let's go quickly, Ryan,
where do you think we are pre season starts? Where
do you think we should be preseason?
Speaker 4 (23:29):
Right? I think we'll be close to the top twenty five,
So I'll stay with time on between twenty and twenty five.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
I will say number twenty two for no other reason
than that's just the first number that popped in my head.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
All right, Channon, twenty five? Yeah, I mean that seems
to be the consensus.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
I'm gonna say, if we get Jackson Robinson, I would
put us like seventeen or eighteen. I think we're gonna
if we don't get him that I think, to be
quite frank with you, we probably won't be ranked.
Speaker 5 (23:55):
I think it's unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
To me the way people assume one thing about Arkansas
but won't assume it about us. I mean, what, we
have guys who've all been good in college. Now do
we have a guy that's been a star? Not yet,
But we have guys who've all been solved. You know,
if you're looking at Arkansas right now John L. Davis
(24:19):
star freshmen who are all ranked twentieth or lower. That's
not been a recipe for success over the years for
cow and then guys who didn't plot. I mean, you know,
Z might end up great, but if you look at
those stats, Z stats are worse than everybody.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
We have, right.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Yeah, A Do I like a lot same issue though,
I mean, like you can't look at A Do and say, well,
that guy's gonna be a star now if they get
DJ Wagner. I actually think DJ Wagner is gonna have
a huge year. But if you start a backcourt with
Dj Wagner, John L. Davis, and Boogie Flann. I don't
know that that's a group that can shoot. Now, they
(25:01):
could still end up really good, but so could we.
But I don't It's I don't think people are gonna
give us the benefit of the doubt. We're actually gonna
have to go ryan and actually go win games, which
I'm okay with, but I think that's what's gonna have
to happen.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Yeah, and we've got guys that are kind of already
proved themselves, and you know, you put these teams together
with these fifth year seniors, these older guys, most of
the time it does work. But last year at Arkansas
with Musselman, he was supposed to have a great team
and it.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
Just had all the court issues.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
But then again, there were other teams that did that
and it work and it worked. So don't know, you
just you really you really don't know. Here's what I
keep telling myself. Leave all the other teams aside. Go
look at that BYU roster last year. That team was
top twenty five all year. That team was a sixth
seed in the tournament, and while they lost, should have
(25:53):
been maybe a five seed.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
Drew our roster is gonna be better than that roster, right, Yeah.
That was their first year in the Big Twelve, one
of the hardest conferences in basketball. Yes, and if I'm
not mistaken, they were picked dead last in the preseason
in that conference. End up having a really good year,
making the tournament, beating Kansas. At Kansas, I think they
beat Baylor. So if Folk can do all that with
that roster people look at and don't recognize a lot
(26:16):
of the names and doing that at b YU, I'm
confident they'll take time.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
I'm very confident, I really am.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
I I don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
I mean, they're not I don't think we're gonna contend
for a title. But I don't see any reason they
can't be good. And they can't be NCAA Tournament good,
and they can't be second weekend NCAA Tournament good. I
don't see any reason. But I do think we need
one more player. Yeah, and we gotta get it.
Speaker 6 (26:43):
Let me make us floor is a lot higher. Like
I don't see these old guys always experienced wrong. But
like I don't see like a Wilmington coming into rupt
and you just have a horrible game because it's a
bunch of freshmen still learning stuff. I think that they
might not be as good in the end, but I
think the floor will be a lot higher where they're and.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
With the way this team will play defense because they've
got three guys who were their conference players of the
year in defense, we're gonna be in every game, right
And we have an offensive coach who went and got
a bunch of defensive players.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
So I feel confident. Out Let me ask you. Did
you get to see the whole Northern Lights thing that
happened here?
Speaker 4 (27:22):
So I was in Alabama, so I didn't see it.
I saw all the pictures of all the people here
in Kentucky. They got to it. I didn't get to
enjoy it. Did you see?
Speaker 6 (27:29):
I have strong thoughts about this. I did not see it.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
I don't did anyone like I kept seeing pictures on
Instagram in Facebook?
Speaker 5 (27:36):
Huh?
Speaker 3 (27:36):
But then when I talked to people, they were like,
I didn't see it. Then Hubby told me that you
couldn't see it unless you looked at it through your phone,
which doesn't make any sense to me. Help me understand scientifically,
why if I can't look at it with my eyes,
I can see it through my phone?
Speaker 6 (27:59):
How does That's part of the reason I'm upset. First,
their marketing department needs to be fired because I didn't
hear a peep of this until it already happen. Wre
we supposed to know? Was I supposed to look up?
Like the clips? They started six months sending out flyers
and knocking on.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
The doors, and people were people booking it from all
over the world.
Speaker 6 (28:16):
So can you predict?
Speaker 5 (28:17):
Can you predict the northern line?
Speaker 4 (28:19):
I thought there was some sort of alert they put
out fighting in.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Norway they predicted, but why were we able to see
it here?
Speaker 4 (28:26):
I don't know. Do you know that about the.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Solar storm or something pushing down the northern lights?
Speaker 5 (28:33):
Okay, what does the solar storm mean?
Speaker 2 (28:36):
There's a storm in outer space?
Speaker 5 (28:38):
Like what kind of storm? Like it doesn't do it
doesn't space, does it?
Speaker 4 (28:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
You can't have thunder and lightning and outers, So what
is the solar storm?
Speaker 6 (28:48):
This is all my point. Why was all of this
put in front of us so we knew to look up?
And then after the fact, why am I learning? We're
all just looking at a filter that we used on
our phone.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
So that so, yeah, hummy, was like, if you looked
at it through your phone, you could see it, he goes,
because the phone can process it faster than your eyes.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
But isn't it still my eyes looking at the phone?
Speaker 6 (29:11):
I guess because it's making us You're.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
Really giving me a headache now now, But.
Speaker 5 (29:14):
Think okay, So like you look outside, let's say that there.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Let's just say you're looking at the sky right, yes,
and you can't see northern lock.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
Can't see it.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
But they say if you look through your phone, you'll
be able to see it.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
What I don't understand is when I hold the phone
up and I look through the phone, it's still those
same eyes. So if I couldn't process it without the phone,
why can't I process it.
Speaker 5 (29:35):
With the phone?
Speaker 4 (29:37):
We need to ask somebody that knows, because it's still
going through the same eyes that allegedly can't handle it.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Usually have the opposite problem, Like if you ever looked
up and seen like a huge moon and you try
to take a picture and it looks terrible on your phone.
Usually have the opposite problem of what what you're describing?
Speaker 5 (29:54):
So did people see it or did they just want
to be cool?
Speaker 6 (29:57):
I think everyone on Facebook is a liar. It's a
filter It's like when I'm looking at at Grandma and
she looks like grandma, but then you use a filter
and she's got a dog face or tongue sticking out
on the phone. You used an app. That's exactly what happens.
Speaker 5 (30:09):
So you don't think anybody.
Speaker 6 (30:10):
I think everyone once likes and they turned up the saturation.
I don't know what's the word color belor Yeah, they
messed with it so it looks cool to their friends
knowing they went outside.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Do you know anybody that's like the pictures I saw
would be like purple?
Speaker 5 (30:25):
Yeah, it was like, do you know anybody that salved that?
Speaker 4 (30:28):
Just some friends that sent me pictures of it.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
That's different sending you pictures, Crutch. Did you see it
the northern lit on a photo or did you see
it on a phone or did you see it with
your eyes with a photo? Every argument nobody saw it
at all. It's ai it's because everybody sees a photo.
But I don't know one person who said they went outside,
(30:52):
opened their eyes and saw.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
Salt just through their eyes. Nothing on the phone.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Because Humpy was like, you had to look at it
through a camera. But I still I don't understand it's
still my eyes looking at that camera. Yeah, so if
my eyes can't process it in real life, why can
my eyes process it through a camera because it's filtered.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
Camera captures the image.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
No, but okay, that's a still photo. I'm talking about
as it's happening. Do you know what I'm saying. D
we saw the northern lights on our Alaskan cruise.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
Right. It wasn't like that, not that wasn't purple, but
it was, you know, we saw the lights.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
I just and I'm kind of with you, Drew, why
did they just decide? Now?
Speaker 6 (31:37):
I feel like maybe it was out there and I
missed it. But I saw these pictures and I had
not heard one peep about like, hey, whatever, time go
outside and look up. This is gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
And I also, by the way, if people did see it,
I know you didn't see it in Lexington the lot
because there's too many lights. Like if you're out in
the cornfield and there's nothing, that might be different. But
when you like such Shannon, when you look up at
the sky cor day in Louisville, it's hard to see
the mood like stars and stuff because of all the lights.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Right, Yeah, I didn't see it. Anywhere where there's artificial light,
you're not going to see it. So if you're out
in the country somewhere, you may be on So you just.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
Think everybody's lying.
Speaker 6 (32:11):
Yeah, you know how Elon's app if someone's lying, it
now says like for context, this is actually the truth.
I think everyone's picture should say for context, they used
to filter in their liar. They didn't really see this.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Who's next, Shit, let's go to doing good, doing good?
Speaker 5 (32:24):
How are you?
Speaker 4 (32:26):
I'm doing great?
Speaker 5 (32:26):
Guys about yourselves? Good? What's up? Hey? I just wanted
to ask real quick.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
When you abandon your your mom down in Dallas.
Speaker 5 (32:35):
Stop if you would you like in the situation.
Speaker 9 (32:38):
More to like when George was running out of the
apartment that was on fire, knocking the ladies and children
to the side, or more along the lines of Pompeii
when it got consumed by Mount Vesuvius.
Speaker 5 (32:51):
I didn't So I didn't know what to do, all right.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
I appreciate the call when it was clear we were
on different flights, you know mine, some is their flight.
What was happening is the later flights were going off,
and it was all the ones that were during like
four to seven o'clock that were getting canceled. And so
my assumption is the later flights were gonna go off.
It was those in that period that were gone. But
(33:17):
then when we ended up in different places.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
I felt bad.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
So I was like, I said to my parents, I'll
just stay here, and then they're like, but you won't even.
Speaker 5 (33:24):
Have a flight at that point, which is true.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
But I did feel bad because I you know, and
then of course when I when we were about to
take off, and then I saw THEIRS was canceled. So
I spent the entire trip on Wi Fi trying to
help them find other flights, and you know, people, it
was it was war. It was again lord of the flights.
There were no flights. I mean we were talking about
(33:50):
I was thinking, all right, I'll get Mario he and
I'll go to Dayton pick them up on a frontier flight.
But I can't put somebody on a frontier flight. But
the only thing the whole trip, I was working to
try to find them something, and honestly, there was nothing,
because it's it's chaos and the Dallas Airport should be closed.
Speaker 6 (34:09):
In your defense, I don't know what happened there. Maybe
you just took off run and left them. I don't know,
but one of the first things you said today when
you walked in was that you felt bad being home
because they were still there. You did say that, not
on the show when you walked them to the bar
this morning. I did if you left them.
Speaker 5 (34:24):
But could you not?
Speaker 3 (34:25):
We'd been sitting there all day? You know, it was clear,
especially my dad was really tight. You know, that's a
whole other thing. They had so few people on staff.
You know, he needs help getting through the airport, and
they gave it to us until they were gonna leave,
and then there wasn't anybody there.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
Like I said, hopefully they can enjoy something today in
Dallas to kind of ease all this anxiety that had
to go through the left.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
And I wrote, you know, I always tell you when
you don't when you can't get customer service. Is my
one piece of advice to people. Go to the apps,
go to Twitter, because they'll respond. They do respond, but
then sometimes they just look at you go sorry, enjoyed
Chili's two? I mean, I mean that's what they said.
I was like, Okay, is there not something you can do?
(35:08):
And they're like, they can get on the flight on Tuesday.
Speaker 6 (35:12):
The more you say, the more I just hear that
we had another twenty years to driving on KSR road trips.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Oh oh yes, if I had been in Kentucky in time,
I would have just.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
Driven down there. But oh, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 3 (35:27):

Text machines right, somebody says, Matt. It has to do
with the aperture on your phone. What is aperure?
Speaker 4 (36:26):
Hey, don't even know how to spell it. I have
no idea.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
I know ambisure, which is what I would use to
play the trumpet with my You have an ambissure on
your mouth, but I don't know what an amperture?
Speaker 6 (36:37):
Does your phone even have that?
Speaker 4 (36:38):
I don't know, but I know just you saying that
I did a ton of pictures. People all took pictures
of the northern lights.
Speaker 5 (36:45):
Yeah, but I don't think they saw it with their
naked eye.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
So these folks here, think about this from Pendleton casti
in Campbell County. One of them now lives in Dubai.
Whoa the other one in Campbell County. They got a
guest here from Russia. That's that's quite a group making
their way here.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
I can see a lot of similarities between Foulmouth and Dubai.
Quite a change.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
He flies for Immirates Airlines, which people say is the
nicest air.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
They wouldn't have stranded you and your mom in Dallas.

no doubt about that. If I'm nine two eight oh
twenty two eighty seven. What about UK is going to

more than anybody.
Speaker 4 (37:30):
I almost jumped up and down and did a wood woot.
I was so happy to hear that. I think that's
something Pope will do every year.
Speaker 5 (37:37):
He says.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
Good.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
He said they want to play at least one in
state school every year.
Speaker 4 (37:42):
I think it's awesome. I think it's great for the
kids that are playing these other schools because a lot
of times they grew up dreaming wanting to play a rough. Okay,
maybe you could play against UK at Rough. That's a big,
big deal for the other schools that around the state. Murray, Western, Eastern, Northern.
I love it. Morehead. I'm glad. I think he's gonna
do that and be very successful at it.
Speaker 5 (38:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (38:02):
I hope you see a lot of us in the future.
We've done a good job recently of playing Kentucky State
in Georgetown and working the smaller schools in the next We.
Speaker 5 (38:09):
Played Morehead quite a bit, yeah.
Speaker 6 (38:11):
But now going out the directional schools. They played Western
with Oscar.
Speaker 5 (38:15):
They did, and they had that big tall guy, yeah.
Speaker 6 (38:18):
And they ran into them in the tournament. I guess
years ago in the Colnara before that. I don't know,
it's too many games.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
I mean, the problem for Western and Murray has always
been their desire to play back there. But if they
take that away, I'm for it. I had somebody right
and say they wanted our our like three team four
team tournament every year to be like Eastern Western. I'm
against that, but one game a year against one of
(38:44):
those teams, I'm for that. Let's not get ahead of
ourselves right like we need to, especially now with these
tournaments paying ni own money and MAUI we don't need to.
I mean when they're doing that this year, but we
don't need to be wasting our tournament on playing these
little teams anymore. Or I know that was a col thing,
but I hope that doesn't continue going forward.
Speaker 6 (39:04):
We spread out these Kentucky games.
Speaker 4 (39:07):
Yeah somewhere, and I think everybody'll be happy with that,
and you know, take out a Texas Commerce or a
stone Hill or some of these other teams and put
in once a local school. So I'm excited about it.
I think I heard Billy say this morning on the
pre show they've only played each other like nine times
in Western Yeah, seven.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
Times Western ever won? Oh they did with Patrick with
Patrick Sparks area. Was that the only time they won?
Speaker 8 (39:33):
No.
Speaker 4 (39:34):
In seventy one, they beat Kentucky to go to the
final four with Jim McDaniels in that group.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
Okay, so the times I remember us playing was the
Patrick Sparks Yeah, you're right. We played them in the
regular season and then we played them in the NCAA
Tournament twenty fifteen.
Speaker 5 (39:47):
Is that right?
Speaker 4 (39:48):
It was in Louisville, right, It was in Louisville, Yeah, Louisville.
Speaker 5 (39:51):
It was in Louisville.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
We played Eastern in the tournament one time in Louisville too,
didn't we Yes?
Speaker 8 (39:56):
Or no?
Speaker 3 (39:56):
In Indianapolis, that's where we It was in Indianapolis. It
was in Indianapolis. That was when tub He was here.
But uh, but yeah, I have a recent one. It
was something with COVID. We weren't even supposed to play them.
Speaker 6 (40:05):
Yeah, we were supposed to them. We were supposed to
play Louisville.
Speaker 4 (40:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
Well Louisville chickened out and said they were sick, and
we played Western instead.
Speaker 6 (40:13):
The only reason that ended up.
Speaker 5 (40:14):
Yeah, I remember that. All right, who's next?
Speaker 4 (40:16):
Mark?
Speaker 5 (40:16):
Mark?
Speaker 8 (40:17):
Go ahead and Mark, Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (40:22):
I just wanted to say, I think the cats will
come in about twenty second, like you said, depending on
if they get the good guard there or not. I
also want to say something about my hometown high school,
Bulinberg County High just won their six fishing championship bass fishing.
Speaker 5 (40:42):
It's a bat so they won.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
So they Muhlenberg won the bass fishing state title.
Speaker 8 (40:48):
They sure it did for the sixth time in eleven years.
Speaker 4 (40:52):
Look at that dynasty.
Speaker 5 (40:55):
The way man, am I right? I think I remember?
Don't you all though?
Speaker 4 (40:58):
Have it like in your.
Speaker 8 (41:02):
No, it's at Kentucky Lake. It's about a higher than
fifteen minutes much.
Speaker 3 (41:06):
I feel like home field advantage for the lake is
a big deal. I appreciate the call because if you
know where the fish are, I feel like that's a
big hill.
Speaker 6 (41:14):
Oh, they're traveling far. They don't have a home. I mean,
they got a little water in Meelnburg, but they're going
to the big lakes for this and dominating.
Speaker 4 (41:20):
And you'd think Lyon County or one of the counties
on the lakes would probably dominate the state fishing title.
Speaker 5 (41:25):
It is.
Speaker 3 (41:25):
Uh, there can't be that many states that have a
fishing title. But congrats to Meulenburg County for making it happen.
By the way, we were talking about traffic earlier. Get
ready for traffic that first weekend in June. Let me
go over the event. Okay, Railbird, Big Kentucky High School
Track Championship, Big Kentucky High School Baseball Championship. And it
(41:48):
looks like we're gonna be hosting baseball regionals all the
same weekend. That's exactly what happened last year, and it
looks like it's gonna happen again. And they're already out
of hotel rooms, so we may have to put somebody
in a door again, just like we did last year.
Speaker 6 (42:02):
Don't forget Blippy. Is it Reperina who blippy? Some kids thing?
But add to what is blippy? I don't know, but
added to the list, it's a big Reparina thing and
it's for children. It's like a kid's something or other.
Speaker 4 (42:14):
Which they'll be a big crowd.
Speaker 6 (42:15):
Adding it to the more.
Speaker 5 (42:17):
Do you all know what blippy is? No one knows
what blippy? Do not know? We're kids, that's true.
Speaker 3 (42:23):
We'll take a break, come back. I want to talk
about Florida. Wandering about the cats. We'll talk about what
they said right after this. KSR hover number two
