Speaker 1: One of the biggest misconceptions about buying a home right now is that you have to wait for the perfect moment, perfect rates, perfect timing, perfect market. The truth is that moment doesn't really exist. A lot of buyers pause because of headlines or assumptions, but every situation is different. Race change, market shift, and personal goals matter just as much as what's happening nationally. That's why talking to a local lender can be so valuable. When you contacts doctor Mortgage, you get paired up with a local lender. That lender will give you your options. That lender will explain the situation. You can ask your own questions. That's what it's all about, getting to the closing table as simple and as easy as possible. Our friends at stock to the Mortgage focus on helping people understand their options. Whether you're ready to buy now later or just starting to ask questions. There's no pressure to make a decision, just a chance to get real information and a clear picture of what's possible.

Speaker 2: It is our number two. Kentucky Sports Radio at Don Franklin and Corbyn and Don Franklin difference tenure, unlimited mount mile powertrain warranty. Good crowd here. Where are you guys? Are you skipping school today?

00:01:14
Speaker 3: No?

00:01:15
Speaker 2: No school on Fridays? What is that the way it is now?

00:01:21
Speaker 4: Oh?

00:01:21
Speaker 2: You're at Cumberland. Okay, I was about to say it's high school. Become no school Fridays. You gotta go to Corman here at some point. Good to see you, guys. Eight I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven one person rights, Matt. You guys were way too lenient on the Jerseys. Wall and Cousins are the only excuse me. Wall and ad are the only two that should be up there. Maybe Prince and Bogans. You have to have standards. I get it, but like, go look who's up there now? You know what I mean? Go look who's up there now? I think you could make a case, Drew, if we were to go, let's say you could only have ten in UK history. I go all through UK history, could only have ten people up there because a lot of schools. That's kind of what they do. It's like eight or ten if you can only have like ten in UK history? Who are the no brainers?

00:02:10
Speaker 3: All right?

00:02:11
Speaker 2: Issel Givens, Kenny Walker? Kenny Walker, I would say a D. So Now those four to me are like Given Givens, literally Jack Gibbons, then Louis Dampier maybe maybe or maybe not.

00:02:34
Speaker 1: Who else is our list?

00:02:35
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I need to pull up said, I'm having to go top of my head here, Bill Spivey.

00:02:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, Kyle Macy, Kyle Macy.

00:02:46
Speaker 2: I mean, what's what's the scoring list? I'll tell you what when you pull up the scoring list, Shannon, But you would those four we mentioned at first, you say those are the definite.

00:02:56
Speaker 1: On those are locks.

00:02:57
Speaker 2: But you got at that point, you got that the first ones in the seven you gotta have people from like the.

00:03:01
Speaker 3: Fifties that I can't differentiate the guys in the fifties, but they need some representation.

00:03:06
Speaker 2: You gotta have somebody there, Ralph Beard, Cliff Routh. Beard's gotta be Ralph Beard. Cliff Hagen's got fain all right, So now you're at six. Who else are we letting in? So now you gonna let you, like Spivey, you got like Dampier Cotton, Ash John Wall who were letting.

00:03:25
Speaker 1: In Tony Delk from the ninety six team, some of that ninety sixteen.

00:03:28
Speaker 2: All right, well, somebody, maybe some people who have the history can give us team because you do have to represent all the eras, like, because my thing is right now, with the way the banners are, people who played in the fifties and sixties are way over represented. I mean there's a ton of those guys and there's like nobody from recently. So that's it.

00:03:48
Speaker 3: That's my only issue.

00:03:49
Speaker 1: I know sometimes if you stand on the quarter up and you look up, you don't even know who those guys are.

00:03:53
Speaker 2: There's people up there in the rafters. I would check. There's people in the rafters right now that if you were to go look, you wouldn't even know who they were unless you live through that period and watch them. There's people up there that you would not even know who they are.

00:04:05
Speaker 1: I think one guy averaged like eight points a game.

00:04:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I mean again, seem Newton, nice guy, but put a lot of his buddies in. All right, Well, Shannon's.

00:04:13
Speaker 4: Looking at that, I got it. If you need to give me this top ten, just give me the top twenty. Well, I don't have the top twenty.

00:04:18
Speaker 5: I got the top ten, five, ten, okay, obviously, Isle Kenny Walker number two, Gibbons number three, Yes, Bogan's number four, Delk number five.

00:04:28
Speaker 2: So then I he's got to be a yes too, Yeah, because if Delk is number five and he was on that ninety six team, he's got he's gonna be one of my ten as well.

00:04:37
Speaker 4: Mashburn at number six.

00:04:38
Speaker 2: How did we forget Mashburn? All right, Mashburn, he's got to be on there, absolutely has to be on. How did we forget Mashburn? Okay?

00:04:44
Speaker 4: Kevin Greedy number seven.

00:04:45
Speaker 2: All right, so that's that's that's one on the that's a liner.

00:04:48
Speaker 5: Tayshawn number eight, Number nine is Cotton Ash.

00:04:52
Speaker 2: See, then he's got to be in because you got to have a representation of that era.

00:04:55
Speaker 4: And then Alex Grozo.

00:04:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, I've in the forties, I'm had we had six, i'm Ad, Nash and Dalk and now we're at eight. So then the question is do you go Greevy Wall You know.

00:05:11
Speaker 5: I've got eleven through twenty. If you want them, give me eleven. Is Ed Davender.

00:05:17
Speaker 2: Davnder is number.

00:05:18
Speaker 1: Let me say something about Ed Davender. When his crew was over, he was top ten in every category, point, steals, assists, filgal Pert Free, every category was top ten.

00:05:28
Speaker 2: Number eleven. I would have never imagined that.

00:05:31
Speaker 5: Okay, Number twelve a Louis Dampier, Patrick Patterson at thirteen.

00:05:35
Speaker 2: Patrick Patterson's thirteen.

00:05:36
Speaker 4: Mike Casey, he only played three years.

00:05:38
Speaker 5: To go ahead, Mike Casey at fourteen, only played three years, Ralph Beard at fifteen, Levan Turpin at sixteen. That's what that's your case, Cliff Hagen at seventeen only three years.

00:05:49
Speaker 2: Uh.

00:05:50
Speaker 4: Number eighteen was pat Riley.

00:05:53
Speaker 2: I didn't realize pat Riley was a top twenty's top twenty.

00:05:56
Speaker 4: Yeah, scored over fourteen hundred points.

00:05:59
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:05:59
Speaker 5: Uh, nineteen is Johnny Cox and number twenty is Joe Crawford.

00:06:03
Speaker 3: Joe Wow, put him up there.

00:06:06
Speaker 2: Ye wait a minute, Joe Crawford is number.

00:06:09
Speaker 4: Twe right ahead of cal Macy.

00:06:11
Speaker 3: Wow.

00:06:12
Speaker 1: He played four years. Yeah, Crawford did see.

00:06:14
Speaker 2: Sometimes you got to actually look at the numbers to us.

00:06:17
Speaker 3: All right, well he's not on the scoring list, but I still think Oscar has to be in that covert. He's we've only had like two three National Players of the Year.

00:06:24
Speaker 2: He can't put I can't put him over Wall, and I'm not sure I have Wall in the top ten, so that that's tough for me. All right, let's talk about the hands of virus here for a second. We brought it up yesterday, had a lot of people sending me information. I watched like two or three videos about it. Here was the quote that I saw. It's a good news bad news quote. See what you think about this one. Here was the good news. I saw this guy say. He was on CBS. I'm gonna assume he has some credibility. He said, the Hanta virus will not spread as a pandemic nearly like COVID.

00:07:00
Speaker 4: That's good good news, good news, great news.

00:07:03
Speaker 1: What's the bad news?

00:07:04
Speaker 2: Bad news? It's because when people get it, they die so quick they don't have time to spread.

00:07:09
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, were all of the story don't get it?

00:07:14
Speaker 3: I was reading about it. It's like, if you get it, you're either dead or you're just in a hospital bed. You're not going to events, you're not on planes or buses. Like, it's hard to spread because you're in one of two places, the grave or in a bed.

00:07:24
Speaker 2: So that's good news bad news. Yeah, a lot harder to spread, but you're a lot of dead if you get it.

00:07:30
Speaker 4: I think I'm gonna roll the dice.

00:07:31
Speaker 2: I like.

00:07:31
Speaker 5: I like this version versus coronavirus. Coronavirus shut down the world. Handavirus is just gonna strap kill.

00:07:38
Speaker 2: You, Isn't that's better?

00:07:40
Speaker 5: Oh, we're all gonna go at some point. You're taking your chance to hand time over here.

00:07:43
Speaker 2: So you're just gonna hope you're not one of them exactly.

00:07:46
Speaker 4: Yes, I mean something's gonna take you down eventually.

00:07:48
Speaker 1: What had they tracked down the people that left the boat that they don't.

00:07:51
Speaker 2: I didn't see a story right before I walked in here, when I was sitting in the parking lot that there are thirteen Americans on the boat and we are sending So Robert Kennedy fired all the people in charge of cruise ship viruses. Maybe that was a bad decision that job. But they are going to sit We're going to airlift the Americans off the boat them to Well. My question is what if they have it.

00:08:22
Speaker 4: Where we put them on an island.

00:08:24
Speaker 2: They're going to dock the boat in the Cayman Islands, you know, the Cayman Islands is a place that like all the people who avoid taxes and all that. I guess, so they're putting all the people in the boat on the Cayman Islands.

00:08:34
Speaker 3: I used to gamble through there before I did too.

00:08:37
Speaker 2: I did too. Actually, but are Americans we are airlifting off the Cayman Islands, don't I hope they test them.

00:08:46
Speaker 5: Don't bring them to Don Franklin. I don't want them here, Take them somewhere else.

00:08:49
Speaker 2: I don't think their their initial goal was to bring them here.

00:08:52
Speaker 4: They need a boat.

00:08:54
Speaker 2: But anyway, have you seen how?

00:08:55
Speaker 3: But I think how it started, or at least part of it. Some couple went bird watching it like a land.

00:09:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, did we talk about that?

00:09:02
Speaker 3: But I thought when you bird watch, you go to like the arboretum and trees and.

00:09:06
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, they went to bird watching in a land field.

00:09:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, which is just full of stuff.

00:09:10
Speaker 2: Why would they?

00:09:11
Speaker 3: But there's a video of it.

00:09:12
Speaker 2: I don't know.

00:09:12
Speaker 3: I understood bird watching was peaceful. What's the Cumberland Falls over here? Maybe you go bird watch there. But they went to like a just a landfill that might have had the virus. Really well, maybe.

00:09:24
Speaker 5: There's always these birds causing problement, bird flew antavirus. There's other stuff too, I just don't and their drones watching.

00:09:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, who's up next? Jacob is up next? Jacob, go ahead, Jacob.

00:09:40
Speaker 3: Hey Man.

00:09:41
Speaker 6: Two things one basketball, one football basketball. Andy Katz released his first seventy six field bracket. He had US at number eleven, playing Maryland in the first twelve. I wanted to kind of get.

00:09:58
Speaker 1: Your all figure.

00:09:59
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna break down that match up yet since I don't really know our team or Maryland. But uh but but.

00:10:07
Speaker 3: I oh sorry, I do uh.

00:10:10
Speaker 2: I do think it's interesting that they have us projected in that area because that's I think if we don't add players to our roster, that's not a bad projection of where we would be.

00:10:21
Speaker 6: Yeah, I agree. Then football, I wanted to kind of get sure all's take on. We've talked a lot about the early wins that will Stein Scott and wanted to kind of gets your take on looking for what defines a win for him?

00:10:40
Speaker 2: Schedule great question, A great question. Appreciate the call. What is what is a successful season for will Stein? Year one? There was a Bowl projection that came out yesterday that had Kentucky in a bowl game. I think it had us in the Secure Bowl, the Cure Bowl against East Carolina, who we have played in a bowl game.

00:11:00
Speaker 7: Four.

00:11:01
Speaker 2: Do you do you have to win six to have a successful year?

00:11:05
Speaker 3: Ryan?

00:11:06
Speaker 2: Is it successful at five? Is it successful at four? I mean, what is success considering you're playing the second hardest, hardest schedule in the country and likely the hardest schedule in the history of Kentucky football.

00:11:20
Speaker 1: That's why I think they'll be better than they were last year. But five wins to me, just me personally, would be a success. And you get six wins, that's a superseason. With the schedule they've got, I think they cause they've knocked off one of these guys at home, Like maybe you get John Summer all in Florida at home. Maybe knock off one of these big games, maybe get Louisville. Then I think that it's a whole different balls.

00:11:38
Speaker 2: And also, remember we only placed two stinky teams this year, right, so we used to essentially get three free wins. Now we only get two and Louisville's good. So in order for us to get to a bowl game, we're gonna have to be four decent teams.

00:11:54
Speaker 5: Yeah, but in no world could I ever say that a losing record is a successful season. So if it was your first year, we know he gets a honeymoon period, of course. I mean, we're not gonna fire him if he doesn't. But you said, what is successful? I can't say a losing record is ever successful in any form.

00:12:10
Speaker 3: I think it's pretty unreasonable to put the Bowl game expectations on him. If he did it, that would be amazing. I think if he just like Ryan said, get a big win, and if we're having fun scoring points and we're competitive in games. I mean, if you take Alabama down to the wire, it's a lot to ask to beat them, But if you look like you've turned a program around and you've really start the foundation of building something special, I think it can still be a good year.

00:12:31
Speaker 2: Even with let me just tell you how hard we're talking about to get to six Youngstown State and South Alabama. Let's give us those two, all right. Let me give you the five road games Kentucky plays next year at A and M at South Carolina, at Oklahoma, at Tennessee, at Missouri. We won't be a favorite in any of those, oh sir, Okay? So you win one, your dancing, right, you win two, it's pretty but you won't be a favorite in any of those. Now you go, okay, well, let's see who we play at home at home. Louisville Florida, Vandy, LSU in Alabama. So that means to get to five, Let's assume you beat Louisville Florida and Vandy at home. Now you're at five. To get to six, you're gonna have to have won one of those road games or beaten Alabama or LSU at home. That's a pretty tall ask, isn't it.

00:13:40
Speaker 1: It's a huge task. Maybe at Missouri might be the next most winnable game, But then are what we're talking about right here.

00:13:47
Speaker 3: That's why it's not the total wins. For me, it's how the season look like. Say he gets Tennessee and Knoxville but still only wins four games, but had a lot of fun and he showed that I'm building something here. I think you can call that a success even if you're not bowling.

00:14:01
Speaker 2: Actually, I agree with you. For me, Shannon, how they play, what they look like. You know, are these games competitive? That's what matters to me in year one and then in year two, I'll start to say, hey, you gotta win these games.

00:14:16
Speaker 5: Yeah, this might be two different questions, like what is success versus what we'll keep fans happy enough to be like, all right, let's go next season, you know, like what will be a win total that fans will be like, all right, we feel good about this program and the way it's going. Maybe winning five and as Drew said, be competitive against Alabama or some of these tough teams.

00:14:35
Speaker 2: I'll say this, You're gonna have to be significantly better than you were last year to win five. Just to win five, we're gonna have to be a lot better than we were to win six. Honestly, to win six, we're gonna have to be pretty good.

00:14:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Minchi's gonna have to just play lights out. We're gonna roll on.

00:14:54
Speaker 4: Ge whit?

00:14:55
Speaker 3: What if he did get to like eight or something, I mean, we would.

00:14:58
Speaker 2: Be that would be how did we would be up to be sitting here saying we're going to the national championship Now? I mean, remember, there's a decent chance that after next year this playoff is gonna go to twenty four.

00:15:09
Speaker 4: Then you're in with eight, and I'm would.

00:15:11
Speaker 2: Say, if you want eight a lot of years, you'll be in the playoffs.

00:15:14
Speaker 3: Yes, that schedule.

00:15:15
Speaker 2: So you know I'm not I'm not saying, but we can dream. Yes, tell me about stock to Mortgage.

00:15:22
Speaker 1: Stockton Mortgage. You know, I got a guy right now, I've already told this story. He used calls and using Stocktor mortgage. I like, how Stocking Morgan now and there's even sending me little videos, little update videos as the process goes along. I didn't even know they were doing that. So like when you get to the next step, they'll send a little video. This is what you got to look forward to next, this is where we are in the process. Makes it easy for you because I mean's I mean, he's real estate agent. Send him, he's got it. They send it to both of us so we can both our update the whole way through the process. Because it's a hassle and it's confusing, Stocking Morgage makes it as easy as possible. So even down here in Corbyn, Stocking Marking can help you. There all across Kentucky called the website here, they're all across Kentucky there. You just go to the websit. It's Stockton dot com. Okay, it's very easy to remember in him A last A two five ninety bug him under buck, do you Matt?

00:16:08
Speaker 2: Great job. We will take a break and be right back here. DoD Franklin at Gorman. It's Kentucky Sports Radio working back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio here live in Corman, Kentucky. Bob and Jamestown was just up here talking and he told me that he once beat up an actor named Keith Strader. He said, first of all, I drew you look up who Keith Trader is? He said, they were working on a railroad together. Is this after he was an actor?

00:16:37
Speaker 4: Did work out for him?

00:16:38
Speaker 2: He would have been a very successful actor. He was always in after. After you beat him up on the railroad, you inspired him to start acting. He beat him up so bad.

00:16:47
Speaker 4: He's like, I can't deal with those railroads stuff.

00:16:49
Speaker 3: You beat him up so bad. Google doesn't even recognize him.

00:16:52
Speaker 4: Are you sure?

00:16:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not sure that he was an actor, But that's okay. Uh, Golden Tempo is not running in the preakness.

00:17:00
Speaker 4: Boo boo.

00:17:04
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question. No, they did they say cracked toms or was it just a they.

00:17:09
Speaker 4: Just couldna could be a lebron thing.

00:17:12
Speaker 2: So people in horse racing are saying the reason they're not running is Golden Tempo is a closer. The Preakness is shorter, so it has less of a chance to win. It'll be much more suited for the Belmont.

00:17:24
Speaker 4: That's weak, I agree with.

00:17:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, if the horse is healthy, and I haven't seen anything to say suggests it's not healthy, I think it's weak, and I think it's But I also will say this, if this is just gonna be the way it's gonna be, then they have to change.

00:17:38
Speaker 3: The race schedule. They have to.

00:17:40
Speaker 2: They have to, right, But they both say, well, the history I went. I mean, I've read research. It didn't used to be like this. It used to be that the Belmont changed it's it's when it was every year. Sometimes it would be in in July, sometimes it would be in August. There were a few times where it was before the Preakness. Like this idea that the schedule is set, that wasn't how it was for a long time.

00:18:03
Speaker 5: Yeah, everybody wants to see a triple Crown champion, or at least the attempt at that. But you're saying this is because of the length of the track.

00:18:11
Speaker 2: Pete. I don't know, but I've seen a lot of horse racing experts saying that they believe they actually don't want to run because, I mean, the horse is worth a lot of money. Now is the Preakness is the one they have the least chance to win, and so that's why they don't want to do it. I don't know. I mean, I'm not sure what it is.

00:18:29
Speaker 1: I don't know the history of horse racing. But I guarantee Golden Temple is not the only closer that has won the Kentucky Derby, and I bet that winner ran in the Preakness. It was a no brainer years and years ago. Now it's become the norm. You don't do it. And didn't they even just move the Breakness to a different racetrack a couple of years ago.

00:18:45
Speaker 2: Well it's moved because they're redoing Pimlico.

00:18:47
Speaker 1: So they can move the race to a different track, but they can't.

00:18:50
Speaker 2: Move the date.

00:18:51
Speaker 3: Wow, you're passionate.

00:18:53
Speaker 1: It makes no sense.

00:18:54
Speaker 2: The horse, the sport needs it. I'll even make it worse for you. Not only is the pre this in a different tract, I'm gonna blow your mind. The Belmont is at a different track.

00:19:06
Speaker 1: You can change tracks.

00:19:10
Speaker 2: The Belmont is at a different distance this year. Instead of a mile and a half, it's a mile and a quarter because you can't do a mile and a half at Saratoga. What about that?

00:19:21
Speaker 1: And they can't move it back one week for the betterment of the sport. These people are so horse people are so pretentious. Get off your high horse, literally and do.

00:19:30
Speaker 2: What's best for the sport. Get off your high horse literally literally. So he does have a point, Drew. I mean they always say you can't move it. This year, They've moved the Preakness to a different track, They've moved the Belmont to a different track, and the Belmont's not even the same distance it normally. Come on, it does feel like we can be bend a little bit on these rules.

00:19:51
Speaker 3: Yes, and read the room here. The Derby just head its highest ratings ever. There's some energy around horse racing right now and you should try to capitalize that and try to make it the all dab balls on the entire Triple Crown.

00:20:01
Speaker 2: Yes, I saw the woman the She's gonna be on she was on the Today Show. She's gonna be on Jimmy Fallon as well, and uh, who was the other thing. I saw like she did something crazy, like she was at some festival or something like, She's become a huge story.

00:20:18
Speaker 5: Wouldn't that be a great Would that be a great story if not only a first female trainer to win the Derby?

00:20:24
Speaker 2: Yeah she did. She and Ortiz threw the first pitch at the Yankees. Guy.

00:20:27
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I be able to say, you know, first female trainer to ever win the Derby. I mean she could win the Triple Crown. Imagine how great of a story that would be if the horse ran.

00:20:35
Speaker 2: But it's not running. It's not running it and not one horse that's it was in the derby is in the prenous.

00:20:41
Speaker 4: So I'm not watching.

00:20:42
Speaker 3: And Rash was telling me there's a horse that they they're confident they could win the Preakness, so they set out the Derby just so they can try to get the Patnas win.

00:20:49
Speaker 2: That happens a lot. I actually like that because it makes the word the Preakness is a test for the derby winner, but the derby winner's not in it. Who's up next?

00:20:57
Speaker 4: Bill?

00:20:57
Speaker 2: Is up next? Bill? Go ahead? Bill?

00:21:01
Speaker 8: Hey guys, first time, one time?

00:21:04
Speaker 2: Who are What's up?

00:21:05
Speaker 8: One of the two stories once quick one Ed Davender. You mentioned that what was his nickname? Do you remember remember those goggles he wore.

00:21:14
Speaker 1: I don't know if he had a nickname.

00:21:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not sure. What's your second? We get one story, so what's the what's your story?

00:21:24
Speaker 8: Chuck hayse uh in four? I believe it was senior year, the barn Stormy Tours that we used to do. He gotta had an allegation against him. So we're at Royle High School. Friend of mine's an official uh n CBA official. We're there with his two daughters to watch the game. Chuck Case is not there. They needed a substitute player. They asked me to play. I was thirty five years old at the time at low to play.

00:21:51
Speaker 2: The guess is you don't look you didn't look like Chuck Hay's.

00:21:56
Speaker 8: Well, no, Chuck Case was not there because of the allegation and they they needed another player, and I was back in the autograph room. Because of my NCAA official, he got us tickets to it. So I got to play basketball against Royle High School seniors with Antoine Barber, Josh Terrier, Jules Kamara, and one random football guy from the UK team.

00:22:18
Speaker 2: Well that's yeah, that's great.

00:22:22
Speaker 3: I believe you.

00:22:22
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not I believe you. I appreciate the call. What the year I ran the Bard and Storming tour with for Ramel Bradley and Joe Crawford, we came down here to McCreary County, which is not that far. Matt Heisenbuddle was supposed to come. He had to cancel at the last minute. So my friend the Turkey Hunter just played and we called him Matt Heisenbuddle and he signed autographs as Matt Heisenbuddle, and no one in McCreary County questioned it. No one said, that's not Matt Heisenbuddle, which goes to show you could be a walk on at Kentucky and literally everyone just accepted that this other person, Shannon was Matt Heisenman.

00:23:02
Speaker 4: Nobody knew what he looked like. I wouldn't know what he looked like if he walked in here right now, Well it.

00:23:05
Speaker 2: Works, So it was all those guys in Matt heis.

00:23:08
Speaker 5: Ed Davenders nickname was bug Guy bug Eye, Yeah, says who Google?

00:23:14
Speaker 4: Okay, well Facebook.

00:23:16
Speaker 2: Google found that, but couldn't find the actor that Baba James town claims to have beaten up on the railroad. We will take a break, be right back here at DoD Franklin at Corman.

00:24:31
Speaker 4: You know, Yes, died in two thousand and one. Bob actually killed him.

00:24:35
Speaker 5: Uh, it was let's see Richie rich great movie, Natural Born Killers.

00:24:40
Speaker 2: He was in Natural Born Killers.

00:24:41
Speaker 4: That's a good movie with honors. I don't know if you know that one. Blue Chips.

00:24:46
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Oh that's the one.

00:24:48
Speaker 1: Nick Melty and shack.

00:24:49
Speaker 2: Rick Pattino is in Blue Chips. Did you know that? Yeah, rix Rick Patino's in it.

00:24:54
Speaker 4: Rudy, Oh, one of my favorites, The Fugitive.

00:24:58
Speaker 3: That's some big movies.

00:24:59
Speaker 2: You beat up a big star, Bob.

00:25:01
Speaker 4: He was an umpire in a League of their Own.

00:25:03
Speaker 2: That's Ryan's movie. I love that movie. That's actually a pretty good yeah Harper Tom t Hall song started yeh, Bob if I'm nine two eight twenty two eighty seven, One person writes, Matt, Well, this is a spin off of something I remember. I said that I listened to the Spitting Chick lits podcast. Yes, somebody writes, Matt, I never thought any of you would ever listen to that. Do you like it as much as I do? I think it's great, even though I don't even know much about hockey. But let me I was listening to it on the drive down here yesterday and it led to a topic that I think is a good one. Okay, this guy on the show, his name is Biz. He was a Maple Leafs fan. Long story short, The Maple Leafs just hired a new GM that he says screwed over one of his friends in real life. And now, even though he's been a lifelong Maple Leafs fan, he is dropping his fan them because of who they hired as a GM. Says, even though I've been a fan all my life, I'm done. I cannot root for this team anymore because they hired this guy who, at one point in a different place screwed over his friends. So here's my question for you, and you all in the audience think about this too. This is this is the Biz question. Is there anyone UK could hire that would make you no longer a UK fan that the fact that they hired them made you so angry that you could not be a fan or is your UK fandom not there's it couldn't be taken away by one individual person? Are you biz or are you not?

00:26:45
Speaker 3: Biz? Ryan?

00:26:46
Speaker 1: I need to think for a men. I'm trying to think. Is there somebody out there that if they hired Elin.

00:26:50
Speaker 4: Anybody like anybody anybody in sports?

00:26:52
Speaker 5: I mean, if you can't like the guys I mean I would probably well, I mean Supper and I.

00:27:01
Speaker 2: Sure, Vladimir, I mean not somebody necessarily that like you know, had sex with your girlfriend. I'm saying like I'm saying, like someone who realistically could get the job. I guess Vladimir.

00:27:14
Speaker 1: All that that's the answer.

00:27:15
Speaker 2: Okay, that's a great question. Smith. U can't hire Sma sal Smith. Wait to throw him under the bus?

00:27:23
Speaker 3: There?

00:27:26
Speaker 2: You hire saw Smith to be the head coach? Are you disavowing your your Kentucky fandom?

00:27:33
Speaker 3: Are you busy? Okay?

00:27:35
Speaker 1: I'm trying to put myself and be honest about this.

00:27:37
Speaker 2: Put yourself in your self shoes.

00:27:40
Speaker 1: I would I would absolutely still root for him, but I would not have anything nice to say about him.

00:27:48
Speaker 2: But well that's okay, But but bus is not gonna root Ben says, I'm looking for a new team. I'm done. You wouldn't do that even if it was saw Smith.

00:27:57
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't do that. I can't switch my allegiance to Minnesota.

00:28:02
Speaker 2: Who's the public figure you like the least in just in life? Can you think of one?

00:28:12
Speaker 1: Donald Trump?

00:28:13
Speaker 2: Okay, let's say they make Donald Trump a D.

00:28:18
Speaker 1: Goodness, So Donald Trump's the A g and Hi, He's gonna make Kentucky great again.

00:28:27
Speaker 2: He hires saw Smith, that's the coach, and he's the A D.

00:28:31
Speaker 3: I am.

00:28:31
Speaker 1: I'm sweating right now. I think for during that era, it would become my number two team. I've become a Kentucky Wesleyan or e k U or Western Kentucky fans.

00:28:40
Speaker 5: Get there for twenty five years, oh my goodness.

00:28:44
Speaker 3: Lifetime contract.

00:28:45
Speaker 2: He's the healthiest eighty year old of all time. He's gonna be there until the end.

00:28:50
Speaker 3: I know what I don't want to do.

00:28:52
Speaker 1: I would start rooting for the women's team. I would become a Kentucky.

00:28:55
Speaker 2: He's still the ad over the women's team.

00:28:57
Speaker 1: Trump, I'll see a football team.

00:29:02
Speaker 2: I'll say this because I probably dislike him more than you, not Saw Smith. I got no problem with sow Smith. I'm still I can't. I'm not. I'm still rooting for Kentuck like there's not to me. The person in charge does not determine my fandom. I can't.

00:29:19
Speaker 3: There isn't.

00:29:20
Speaker 2: Now I might not like it, but I'm still I think my Kentucky fandom is stronger than any individual person that has the job.

00:29:32
Speaker 3: What do you think, Yeah, same for me. I mean, it's pretty much my identity. I've loved, like everyone listening loved him since I was born, went to school there. It became my job. I mean, there's no one they could hire that would run me off. Heck, I'm that way with other teams. The Titans are terrible. I've had plenty of opportunities to pick a new team, and I'm just I guess I'm a loyal fan and we'll ride with whatever it looks like.

00:29:50
Speaker 5: Yeah, the ad isn't like a position that's constantly in your face that you have to see on your watching game. A coach will say. Now that changes the game a little bit. There is a coach because you got to you know, hear from the coach after the game. You gotta see the coach during the game.

00:30:03
Speaker 2: I think I would still root for him, Like he could come up and be like, we played a great game. It was wondering it was the best game, is the most beautiful game, And I'd be like, well, did we win? Okay, if we won, I'm good. Yeah, Like, I honestly think my sports fandom would be enough to overtake it. Now with saw Smith, that's a little different because he did something in your mind that was personal against you. So what if it was someone that had done something personal against you.

00:30:33
Speaker 1: It'd be tough to be objective on the radio show about him, if I'm being honest with myself.

00:30:39
Speaker 2: But you would still root for him to win the games.

00:30:41
Speaker 1: I probably would, I think, Yeah, but the more you went, the longer he's gonna be there.

00:30:45
Speaker 4: Yeah, unless somebody else wants them.

00:30:47
Speaker 2: I just thought it was interesting because this guy, he just has completely given up the leafs like Canadian lifelong fan. He's just like, I'm done. And I honestly don't think Drew that there is any one they could hire that would just make me say I'm done. I really don't in the same way.

00:31:07
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously wouldn't love it, but I'd be like, well, we got to figure this out. Because I want my team to win. Yeah, coaches.

00:31:12
Speaker 5: Coach is a little bit different because you could just hope that they go oh to thirty and he's gone after I know.

00:31:16
Speaker 3: What, But see, I don't.

00:31:18
Speaker 2: That's different for me, Shannon. I never root for a coach to lose, even coaches that I think need to go. I can't root for him to lose. There are fans out there who say, I want them to lose these games, so will fire them. I could never be like that. I just couldn't.

00:31:34
Speaker 3: So that just happened last football season. Some of my best friends were rooting against Kentucky so we could make a change. I'm like, I cannot root for these kids to go down and get their butt kicked in Krogerfield just because the coach needs to change.

00:31:44
Speaker 2: So what if it's these guys talk a little louder for the rest of the show. Who's up next?

00:31:49
Speaker 3: Up next?

00:31:50
Speaker 2: Brandon? Go ahead, Brandon.

00:31:53
Speaker 7: Hey, guys, So I just had a question a comment, and then I have a question. So Matt, Unfortunately for you, man, your movie is not gonna happen because that's gonna be the Russini and the Vrabels story. Viral Passion so that's not gonna happen.

00:32:11
Speaker 2: So you guys go that's my topic. In the next segment, we do have to talk about the verpe over siding thing that they just keep you. I mean, they just keep coming out, but go ahead.

00:32:21
Speaker 7: The other thing I got for you is two months ago, I was flying out of Lexington Airport and I got to meet a young lady who was.

00:32:28
Speaker 8: Pat Biyondo's girlfriend.

00:32:31
Speaker 7: And she was telling me, like in Oregon they're known as shaking bake. And my question is do you think Pat Beyondo and Steyne has just been what has made this Kentucky football team come alive like they have? And answer your question, Latner is the only person Kentucky could hire that would absolutely see.

00:32:52
Speaker 2: I would just end up cheering for Lightner too. I mean I appreciate the call. Like if you're a Louisville think about Louisville fans. They hated Rick Patino more than anybody, and then they hired him and they were all cheering for him, right Like, I mean that's you know.

00:33:10
Speaker 4: We weren't fans at Caliparia at Memphis, there.

00:33:13
Speaker 2: Are fans who want Bruce Pearl. Do you remember how much we hated Bruce Pearl at Tennessee. Like, you get over it if they're on your side, right.

00:33:23
Speaker 3: So a lot of Arkansas fans deleting tweets the last couple of years.

00:33:27
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I famously tweeted something about Cow when he was at Memphis that he was like the cheatness coach who ever cheated, And then as soon as he got here, I was like, everybody, forget about that. I never said that.

00:33:38
Speaker 4: I said you were touring his shower.

00:33:41
Speaker 2: I was in his shower.

00:33:43
Speaker 3: One more for you.

00:33:44
Speaker 1: What if the new ad re hired Billy Gillespie.

00:33:47
Speaker 2: I mean, I got nothing against Billy Gillespie. Yeah, I think that would be a bad hire. But I got nothing against Billy Gillespie, Like he's It's fine. As far as do I think that the GM and and Stein are Yes, I think that, And I'm gonna be interested to see what Pope says this afternoon about the GM, because I think if you go look at how will Stein has done recruiting wise Drew, I think the two guys he brought in as the GMS are huge reasons for it. And I also would say this new system they've got I talked to somebody who told me this. You know, we did a story about how there's this new analytics system they have. They say it has made it to where they think we are the most cost efficient.

00:34:29
Speaker 3: Program right now in the SEC. That's good because we're towards the bottom one.

00:34:33
Speaker 2: Flevinton the SEC.

00:34:35
Speaker 3: I just knew how much he liked the GM when might have even been will Stein's first flight from Oregon to Lexington. He was on it. I mean there were rumors of coaches he might go get and maybe this guy will beyond his staff. Pat Biondo was an immediate hire for will Stein and they've been together by side since it started, and he's a big part of the recruiting.

00:34:53
Speaker 2: In my interactions with him, I find him to be very intelligent and and very very very good. A if I'm nine two twenty two eighty seven Cornbread Hemp.

We've been to almost all their locations. Nice being down here in Corbin today. Also, big Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there and clavy mothers in the crowd here, raise your hand.

00:35:56
Speaker 1: Hey, we Happy mother's Day.

00:35:58
Speaker 2: Got a Lady's a KSR shirt there, Glad to see that, and uh, Happy Mother's Day, including to my mother, who I love dearly. Happy Mother's Day. And I'm sure all of you agree. If you don't, I wouldn't say it.

00:36:11
Speaker 4: Mother.

00:36:11
Speaker 3: In my house, I'm starting a Mother's Day tradition.

00:36:13
Speaker 1: Mama, listen, do you like.

00:36:15
Speaker 2: Buy present for the mother from the kid from her?

00:36:20
Speaker 3: I didn't think about who'd be from, but I did buy gifts. I was gonna take credit, but I'll say baby Avery help yes, I mentioned this earlier in the week. It's Abby's birthday also same date, So first Mother's Day and birthday. That's a double dip for me and I got a little work to.

00:36:33
Speaker 1: Do a special day for little Abby.

00:36:35
Speaker 3: That's right.

00:36:36
Speaker 2: Well, yes, Happy Mother's Day to Abby as well, Mike Vrabel Diana Russini. So they just pictures just keep coming out. Two days ago we had a video of them getting on a yacht together while she was pregnant with the kid that she named Mike.

00:36:55
Speaker 4: Happy Mother's Day.

00:36:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, Happy Mother's Day. Now another picture came out yesterday, and there are some reports that they are going to be like putting out pictures one a day. I I mean, if there ever was an example of something you've heard me talk about forever of this is why you can't be silent like we were talking about this off the air. I want you to think about all the stories that have happened that like two days later are just gone.

00:37:26
Speaker 1: Like just two weeks.

00:37:28
Speaker 2: Ago, there was an assassination attempt on the president and we just moved on like no one has brought it up again, you know, But yet this story just keeps going and going and going, and it's a perfect example Drew of how when you don't address something, it just lingers and lingers and lingers.

00:37:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is coming up on two months and I've moved on personally, but I'll get on the internet. Well there's a new video today, and it's like you almost can't ignore it if you're locked in, especially if you got any kind of sports algorithm on your social media. But it's it's almost vicious to them.

00:38:07
Speaker 2: Let's say you were her friend.

00:38:09
Speaker 3: What would you tell her to do?

00:38:11
Speaker 2: Would you tell her to and let's say would you tell her to just say something? What would you tell her? What would you tell her?

00:38:18
Speaker 5: At this point, I think it's too late because now, yeah, you should have done it at the very beginning before all this stuff came out.

00:38:24
Speaker 2: Okay, but you didn't.

00:38:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, so now what do you do? You know?

00:38:28
Speaker 1: We are a forgiving society, are we? I think if she just comes out and says, look, I was wrong, I made a mistake. I'm gonna work on my marriage something.

00:38:36
Speaker 2: So you think you have to admit that you had some sort of relations I think she needs to if we're gonna try to get over it, to.

00:38:44
Speaker 3: Move fast, double down on nothing. Yeah, I don't think there was a girl's trip in Arizona in hindsite. I don't think veryble and the boys are out hiking.

00:38:54
Speaker 2: I think what I would say to her if I was her friend, is listen, you just need to say whatever the truth is. And if you don't want to say it, fine, But the last thing you want to do is double down on a lot again because I think because she lied, it made people want to prove her wrong.

00:39:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, yep.

00:39:12
Speaker 2: I think at this point you either just got to like go in hiding or you need to come out and say exactly what happened, no lies, and move on. I mean, I don't know if you saw the video that came out last night. She was playing on this barstool. She and Rabel was on it too. First of all, like barstool had a little family feud thing and they were both on it.

00:39:34
Speaker 3: They brought their own family feud to family feud.

00:39:37
Speaker 2: They literally were on it. And and it was for children. Think about that too. It was for children. And they said, name something you do with the lights off or with your eyes closed, and this is for children. And Diana Orussini announced, have sex with my husband a Kidrabel sitting there when Mike Rabel was sitting there, and you're like, I mean you talk about they were not subtle.

00:40:04
Speaker 3: Really, the audacity of who was the head coach of the Tennessee Titans and they went to a very public boat dock and red of the boat, just the two of them is like.

00:40:14
Speaker 2: Anybody signed for.

00:40:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't think anyone in Nashville that like would have recognized the head coach.

00:40:19
Speaker 1: But she was obviously very pregnant at the time, kissing in the club.

00:40:25
Speaker 3: There's pictures when bars kissing.

00:40:27
Speaker 2: They say it's just gonna keep coming out, So somebody's got somebody's got pictures. Yeah, all right, who's up next?

00:40:34
Speaker 3: Derek is up next?

00:40:35
Speaker 2: Derek, go ahead, Derek.

00:40:38
Speaker 9: Hey, Matt, First, Bob and Jamestown is an absolute treasure and then secondly, as far as Boom, As far as hand to virus goes, I remember yesterday talking about kind of muscle aggs and high pain, which certainly can happen, but uh, I'm a physician as well. Hand to virus is known to cause like a hemorrhagic fever, kind of like a bola. If you remember hearing about that two years back.

00:41:02
Speaker 3: When I was a kid.

00:41:04
Speaker 9: Yeah, you kind of just bleed out internally and all your organs. So it's not something you want to end up with. But hope everybody is a great Friday.

00:41:13
Speaker 2: Thank you for that. Who's up next?

00:41:16
Speaker 4: Sam?

00:41:16
Speaker 2: Is up next? Sam? Go ahead? Sam?

00:41:20
Speaker 6: Hey, Matt uh, just driving past Great American Ballpark this morning, and you know, thinking about the Reds.

00:41:26
Speaker 7: I can't totally don't miss the game.

00:41:29
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's not okay, never mind, here's my question, oh's the mentalist?

00:41:33
Speaker 3: Does that?

00:41:33
Speaker 7: Does that scare you? Or do you think that's kind of I think.

00:41:36
Speaker 2: It's all all the mentalist stuff. I appreciate the call. I'm I'm it's all fake.

00:41:41
Speaker 3: I don't.

00:41:42
Speaker 2: I think all the mentalist things are not real that they're bringing him to. I think it's tonight to the Reds. Hopefully he'll do something to make him stop losing.
