00:01:12
Speaker 5: Goodness.

00:01:12
Speaker 4: You got theast two hours. Then I have a podcast, and then I have three hours of ESPN to night. So at the end of tonight, I'm not gonna want to say anything.

00:01:23
Speaker 6: During the breaks, you just sit in the dark and not speak to anyone when you're down and you're.

00:01:26
Speaker 4: Downtime day, I walked to a coffee shop and started reading and then this this person came up and they didn't know who I was, but they just wanted to talk. And I had to give one of the like hey, it's good to meet you, because I just I can't talk anymore my quiet time. This is my quiet time. And it was also a big night at the Tour de France, so when I got home I needed to watch him go all the way up the mountain too.

00:01:51
Speaker 5: Well, if it's a Paul Feinbarn type of day, four hour show used to do some of those days.

00:01:54
Speaker 4: He didn't talk though, he just drew there silently, like in a lot of commercials. There's a lot of commercials and he I don't feel sorry for him at all. He doesn't. He doesn't speak, so it just sits there. And he's got the easiest job in the world, Shannon. He just sits there, lets callers talk for ten minutes straight.

00:02:13
Speaker 3: He's got the easiest He has figured it out.

00:02:15
Speaker 2: You know, he's getting paid that big salary and all he has to do is sit there like a puny.

00:02:18
Speaker 4: He doesn't have to do anything, and so I listen. Good for him. That's the kind of world that you'd probably want to have.

00:02:24
Speaker 6: I've noticed sometimes I don't hear it often, but sometimes he'll just not even react to the caller, like he'll actually intentionally have five seconds.

00:02:31
Speaker 4: You know, brain is like gone somewhere else and then whatever. You know. So if I'm nine to eight ZHO twenty two eighty seven. So last night, another absurdly exciting TVT game, except this one ends in defeat. La Amelia goes down seventy one what was it, seventy one to seven? Seventy Yes, the rule of seventy one in complete and total exist, you know FS two. I had to like get out the antenna to figure out where it was got it. But it was very exciting and tough break for lot familiar. They're down most the first half. Then they go on a sixteen oer run in the second half, get the lead, looks like they're going to win, they get a steal. It was another game where everybody just would only shoot a three. At the end. There was another game of absurdity. Willie looks like he has a wide open dunk, gets fouled, fakes an injury. Then Archie Goodwin ends up shooting the free throw. Makes the first misses the second, They get a rebound and shoot four threes, hit the fourth. Just chaos, right chaos during the game, and we end up losing.

00:03:53
Speaker 5: First of all, I could not believe how anxious and nervous I was once they posted that elam ending I can't believe I got that anxious about the basketball game. And then with the way it ended. First of all, they should make every referee forever and ever after that that referees.

00:04:09
Speaker 2: Like he ain't hurt, ain't hurt, he ain't hurt, Come on back.

00:04:13
Speaker 4: Yeah he did say he ain't hurt, but he should hurt. But but how do you prove somebody's hurt chatting? You can't?

00:04:20
Speaker 2: Right, Well, I mean I thought that was pretty obvious, But I mean Willie got up and made a beeline for the locker room.

00:04:25
Speaker 5: He did like he went to the locker.

00:04:27
Speaker 2: Had to drag him out of there, kicking and screaming.

00:04:30
Speaker 4: Was it worth all that?

00:04:32
Speaker 5: No?

00:04:33
Speaker 6: I was more upset last night than I have been in actual n CUAA tournament losses suffered. May we should not be this bad, that there should not be a close game yet, what do you mean we should not have been close with the war ready last night? Okay, they're pretty good, that's all right. Pretty still fifty from the free throw line for the tournament.

00:04:57
Speaker 4: That's bad. That is horrible, But that's that's There was no offense. There was no offense.

00:05:02
Speaker 6: I don't know if Sean Woods needs to be on the hot sid you don't think think.

00:05:09
Speaker 4: No offense to Sean Woods. He's got They don't run anything. They should have dominated those They don't run anything. Ever. Ever, Archie Goodwin and Khalil Whitney and Andrew those.

00:05:20
Speaker 6: And I love Willie. He should have shot the free throws. Sorry, in the moment, I was like, how does the ring?

00:05:25
Speaker 4: You're surprised that, Willy, Like, I mean, we'll players usually think they can make the shots.

00:05:32
Speaker 6: Yeah, and Archie. I mean, no offense Archie. It's been a good week for Archie, but he hadn't made a free throw since he's been in Lexington this week.

00:05:38
Speaker 5: So did the other team get to pick Archie? Is that how Archie ended up the free throw prob.

00:05:42
Speaker 6: I wanted Willie. It was Willie's moment, will shoot him?

00:05:44
Speaker 5: But why didn't Willie?

00:05:46
Speaker 4: The assistant told him to sit? I want. I don't know who that assistant is. Get him out of so many coaches shit it like we like this. I don't know they got as many coaches as it. Who are these people?

00:05:56
Speaker 2: I don't know, but they were doing the college football thing. Take a time getting the hand signal. Get the one that told.

00:06:02
Speaker 6: Willy to dive. Lost the whole tournament for him. That moment ended it. Karma got him. The basketball god said.

00:06:08
Speaker 5: No basketball gods.

00:06:10
Speaker 4: He had to have been planning it because he went down.

00:06:14
Speaker 3: Was going on all game long.

00:06:15
Speaker 2: I mean, there's other audio of the ref going no, he's just taking a dove every time he gets hit.

00:06:20
Speaker 3: It was going on throughout the game. That wasn't the first time that happened, but he took.

00:06:22
Speaker 4: A dive after he got it. I mean he did that was your right, got him the whole miss football. We're better than that.

00:06:31
Speaker 6: We're better than that. They lost because they did that both.

00:06:36
Speaker 5: I'm surprised Willy didn't want to take the free throw. Man, you're a competitor, this is your moment.

00:06:39
Speaker 4: But then you lose Willie. And on the other end, you can't get a rebound because they had five They basically had five guards. It even rebound.

00:06:47
Speaker 2: He should have came out of that locker room and got that rebound.

00:06:49
Speaker 7: Fall.

00:06:50
Speaker 6: Even if Willie misses the free throws, he's still in the game.

00:06:53
Speaker 4: He's still in the game. And then you know, he did a pretty good job guarding. But then they had one defensive break down and that guy gets open. Like everybody else was taking contested shots, and I think they were missing so badly. That's why they were getting the rebounds because because they weren't even close the shots. To be fair, it's hard to rebound a ball when it's like, can go anywhere.

00:07:16
Speaker 6: You know what I was doing at home, scream and foul give them to You can't.

00:07:20
Speaker 4: You can't because if you foul, I want them to foul up.

00:07:23
Speaker 6: Three Before we even got to the Willie free But do you know, I don't think you know what the rule is.

00:07:27
Speaker 4: The rule is if you foul in that situation, you get one free throw in the ball well give them a layup. They you don't know.

00:07:33
Speaker 6: Definitely, I would not have left the three point line. Have all the twos you want, give them the layup, but you can't foul. That's that's true. That's a rule. I wanted them to just give them the path of the two before we even got to.

00:07:47
Speaker 4: I told I actually think it would be interesting if you just, like, because everybody's brain is to score, if you just moved out of the way and let them get the layup, then you have the ballot you got to score. But still they could have gotten a rebound. It was just very frustrated. I hate that Archie had to miss that free throw. You know that there was There's a video of him at the end of the game and he looks like he's gonna cry. I mean, he I hate. He had such a good experience with this with this week, and I actually think he's done an amazing job to have this fan base are like, I think this fan base loves him.

00:08:23
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, don't you. I mean We were pretty mad in the games, but that's what we do. We're a little crazy. We had Archie moments.

00:08:29
Speaker 4: He has been like an archie a plus.

00:08:32
Speaker 6: He and Khalil, they could not have had a better experience. I'll speak for them.

00:08:36
Speaker 2: Just about the cry. If I lost a million dollars, I'd be crying too. I think that's why he was crying.

00:08:41
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that was his old team. They're going they're advancing without him. They're advancing without him. That's tough, you know, and they're gonna, like a lot of the other favorites, keep losing. So like that team last night could win the whole thing.

00:08:53
Speaker 5: He had Kentucky heads love, and he had a said where they're gonna have be home field advantage throughout the rest of the tournament, even the final four. It was all set up for them.

00:09:01
Speaker 6: Yeah, the biggest loser is the tournament. They were billing Kentucky, Louisville all Summer.

00:09:06
Speaker 4: One, in Whichita State lose and Syracuse lost in Whichita State. So the four teams that sold the most tickets all got beat in the last two days. So like, I don't I think the theory was the game would be at Louisville. If it wasn't at louisvillelll be at Kentucky. It wasn't at Kentucky, be at Syracuse. If it wasn't at Syracuse, would be at Wichita statest Ohio state team.

00:09:31
Speaker 3: So now people at the championship, they're.

00:09:33
Speaker 4: Gonna have this game at like the YMCA somewhere because the play all of the hosts have lost, and I think maybe West Virginia is where they'll end up having it. But basically all of the teams that hosted have now lost, so I don't know that they have a place to even play the game.

00:09:49
Speaker 6: And that Kentucky Louisville they were count on that it really was like a tournament atmosphere last year. That's they've been marketing around that for a year and neither team is even at that stage.

00:09:58
Speaker 4: He lost for them.

00:09:59
Speaker 5: So do you think Sean Woods and the coaches had an argument about the shot clock resetting when it didn't hit the rim in that last possession.

00:10:04
Speaker 4: I guess I didn't totally follow that should the shot clock have gone away?

00:10:09
Speaker 5: It looked to mean like in the replay it did not hit the rim.

00:10:12
Speaker 4: The first one did not, but did the second one hit the rim.

00:10:16
Speaker 5: I don't know they didn't reset the shot clock. I think on the first one, well, the.

00:10:19
Speaker 2: First one did not hit the rim, right, but I think the second shot up before the clock would have expired anyway.

00:10:25
Speaker 4: And I think the second shot hit the rim. Yeah, I did so, I mean, I I maybe I'm wrong. Maybe somebody can tell me otherwise. I didn't understand. I saw everyone yelling about the shot clock, but I didn't really understand what they were yelling about. The first time was an airball, but I think they got the second one off very quickly after that and hit the rim, hit the rim, and then I think it reset. But I mean, I might be wrong about that. I don't know. I wasn't one hundred. I was more just going, why can't we get a rebound? At that point, it was such a circuit we win. Let's say we win. Would you have been embarrassed if we won with the Willie flop?

00:11:02
Speaker 6: I'll be honest. You know we're fans, and we're not crazy, we're fanatics. I would have been all forward if that he worked. I'm very against it because we lost, very disappointed had it worked.

00:11:14
Speaker 4: I mean, I was prepared to say it was one of the great plays of all time.

00:11:18
Speaker 6: I wanted Willie to have that moment. Though he played eighteen at Piccodom that morning.

00:11:22
Speaker 4: He was calm.

00:11:23
Speaker 6: The Gay Brewer vibes were still in him, got him calm down. He would have made both free throws, would have been a perfect ending.

00:11:28
Speaker 4: They're a player short. I mean, I you know, I feel like I said, I can't believe we're breaking this down as a general manager, but they need They needed Deron Lamb to be a good shooter, and Deron Lamb may just be passed playing back struggle at this point, struggled, so they needed a guy like that, because honestly, if you look at it, we have like four guys who are still really pretty good at basketball. You've got Archie Whitney, Andrew Harrison and Burt Yeah, the rest of the people, to me, I don't know about you. They know now Willie is still a force of nature like no one at like Willie's in these games. But he's also I think he told you all he hadn't seen a basketball in like eight months or something. So I mean, we kind of have.

00:12:16
Speaker 6: Like four guys that play basketball still and r cursed ligand yesterday.

00:12:21
Speaker 4: He didn't dress last night after we talked about him. Yeah, Andrew's got Andrew's still good.

00:12:26
Speaker 5: Yeah, Aaron kind of struggled, though.

00:12:28
Speaker 4: Aaron struggled like it's funny Andrews. Andrews passed his brother.

00:12:34
Speaker 5: That you're right, the two guys they would count on be a shooter. Dron and Aaron both kind of struggled the whole tournament.

00:12:39
Speaker 6: And Canner was much better last year. He was scoring a ton last year. I don't know if we just didn't go to him. Maybe he's just his falling off. But I know people kept saying to me how good Caterer was last year. I wasn't here. He's not. He was the whole team last year, most of scoring. That's why I wish they had gone.

00:12:56
Speaker 4: To him a little more this year. Unless he just on the team last year.

00:12:59
Speaker 6: Yeah, and there were good Butchestina and Canter were two of the best a year ago.

00:13:04
Speaker 4: Either way, it's a tough lot. I couldn't believe how into both of these. I love the tournament though, it's just absolute chaos. And it looked like we had a good crowd there. Didn't it look like a great crowd. Maybe a better crowd than Sunday, right, I think is Mario's day. I noticed he's not here. Mario was very upset last night, and he was like, I think Mario likes our TVT team, and he likes our.

00:13:26
Speaker 2: Regular Yeah, no one has ever taken the TVT more seriously than Mario.

00:13:31
Speaker 4: And Twny Beckham right now are in recovery during this.

00:13:35
Speaker 2: He felt like you know, we all felt when Laterer hit the shot on on you know, Kentucky in ninety two. I feel like that's how Mario's feeling right now today, isn't it.

00:13:42
Speaker 5: Well.

00:13:42
Speaker 4: I really enjoyed now. I probably won't watch any of the rest of it with our with our folks out of it. I don't know if Eberlin Drive and Sideline Cancer is going to get huge ratings, but I did. I did really enjoy this for an off season July. I don't know how you couldn't love it.

00:13:59
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a little weird being this mad at Kentucky basketball in July twenty third, but I'll get over it and look forward to next year. Archie already committed on Twitter, said he can't go out like that. The Harrisons, I think committed.

00:14:10
Speaker 4: Archie and the Harrisons. You've got the basis for a good.

00:14:13
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can build around that then, yeah.

00:14:15
Speaker 6: But you still we gotta get like when need to go out and get Ashton Hagen's But what about like a Kellen grat He was.

00:14:22
Speaker 4: On last year's team. He didn't play much. Why didn't he play? I mean last year he was just a year removed from playing.

00:14:30
Speaker 3: Okay, we got a spot for him on the floor. Staying right, I would feel like.

00:14:33
Speaker 4: I asked Kellen Grady would still be here.

00:14:35
Speaker 6: As much as I want Pope's guys to all make the league, I mean you could have a Lamont Butler, Andrew Carr, Jackson Robinson next year.

00:14:42
Speaker 4: The Pope era.

00:14:44
Speaker 6: Might actually be good for them, be the best thing. We might just get our team the summer after they Yeah, I guess are those guys on NBA deals? Is that why they couldn't play? Yeah, they're they have training camps right now. But if they don't make a team, I don't know why they wouldn't beligible one day.

00:15:00
Speaker 4: Antonio Reeves could be the best player in the history of the TPT.

00:15:04
Speaker 5: He et has made for a guy like that, But.

00:15:06
Speaker 4: He's still got a future in the league. Probably well eight, I'm nine twenty two eighty seven the it's asked anything Wednesday. I enjoyed the game. Thank you to those guys for keeping the entertainment going for me. I thought it was a lot of fun. And I was on ESPN screaming in the last place, I was narrating it on National radio, losing game. We'll take a break, be right back, welcome back, tell you sports radio. All right. So apparently people are saying the shot clock should have gone off between the first and the second show. Really, but if that's the case, then they should have said it before he took the second shot, because they can't wait till after the third shot and say the shot clock could have gone off before the second shot right.

00:15:50
Speaker 6: At that point and had already become so much chaos. I was just like, whatever, but whatever they want to do.

00:15:55
Speaker 4: Shot text machine seven seven two five two five for what person rights mean? How big a buy out did Mitch have in Shawn Wood's contract? Yeah, I think we got a shaneon go back to Tyler Liss. I mean they don't run any offense now. Great. I had it on mute because I was on ESPN, so I couldn't hear what was going on. I could just see it.

00:16:17
Speaker 2: A lot of people said cal didn't run in the offense the whole time he was here.

00:16:20
Speaker 4: Well, you did have clock HiT's the Calier again.

00:16:24
Speaker 6: I saw a good suggestion this morning. I don't know if he'd do it, but next year they should ask Tubby to come back and coach him.

00:16:29
Speaker 3: That would be cool, be cool.

00:16:33
Speaker 4: It's a ceremony. I'm out on the last play, do we have half a timeout? When it was when Archie got fouled so that we got two shots? Why did we not have a time out or no? Wait, I guess we got a steal right there. But the play before that, it was sixty eight sixty eight, we had the ball and we didn't call time out. Either way, I can't believe on this lne but it's still it's still frustrating because I thought this would be funn will play another game. It's a lot of fun.

00:17:00
Speaker 5: I felt like Jesser would have made the difference, right.

00:17:03
Speaker 4: Jesser would have gotten that rebound, he would have got the.

00:17:08
Speaker 3: Jesser wouldn't have done anything. His death line would have been.

00:17:11
Speaker 4: You want to talk about conspiracy theories, the conspiracy theories I've gotten in the last week. Number one are Epstein, but number two arelated. They are unrelated, unrelated as far as I know. But the amount of people that have theories as to why Jesser didn't play, I've heard everything from a contract dispute to they wouldn't give him the right hotel. Two, he didn't sell enough tickets when he announced that he was coming, so the official word was scheduling.

00:17:46
Speaker 5: And he released a little video said he had a hamstring.

00:17:49
Speaker 3: There was an injury. So which one you believe?

00:17:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean his people are saying Obama needs to be impeached. I mean there's a lot of stuff that has come out on Jesser. Shannon. Which of the Jessers stories do you believe?

00:18:01
Speaker 2: I really don't care about any of them, to be honest with you, but probably.

00:18:07
Speaker 3: A contract dispute.

00:18:08
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think. What Here's if I were to guess just from reading the tea leaves, I think Jesser was promised money assuming Jesser would sell tickets. Jesser announces he's coming, doesn't sell tickets, so they're like, well, we're not gonna pay you that money. And then he's like well then I'm not gonna play. That's kind of how I read it. Do you agree with.

00:18:31
Speaker 6: That that that seems logical? We've heard a little bit of everything. Could also be the timing was the day before he was supposed to do KSR with Shannon. Could it be he was ducking that interview?

00:18:41
Speaker 3: He was going to bring the heat to jes He didn't want any part of us. He didn't.

00:18:48
Speaker 4: The thing is, you're in Kentucky like we're gonna sell the tickets because of the Twins, Rtie Lamb, It's not gonna be's gonna it's gonna sell the tickets here, John, it's ask anything Wednesday, John.

00:19:05
Speaker 8: The United Football team that's going to be moving here, what do you think their name should be? And do you think it's going to be in a Louisville area or Lexibon area.

00:19:12
Speaker 4: All right, well, I mean I actually just say that I'm going to do that in the next segment, so I'll answer. Let let's save that. I appreciate the call. That was gonna be my next topic. Alan, go ahead, Allen.

00:19:23
Speaker 9: Gentlemen, if Patino had never left for Boston A, would he still be the coach today? And be how many titles. Do you think he would have won?

00:19:33
Speaker 4: Well, no, I appreciate the call. I don't think he would have coached anywhere for thirty years. You also have to remember there's a decent chance the Katina pal stuff happens here. That's actually a good question is if Patino stayed that whole time, would we have had the scandal?

00:19:49
Speaker 6: Do you think all the things that acted Louisville, I think one of the scandals is more likely than the other scandal. I think the restaurant scandal is more likely than the.

00:19:59
Speaker 4: Chance it would have been Frankendino's.

00:20:02
Speaker 5: Chass Bar.

00:20:04
Speaker 4: Stop it, we don't. We don't allow those things to happen at kass Bar. We make sure well, first of all, they don't have a heat secretive boosts. Yeah, those hot chairs, that'd be Giuseppes. Though with the saxophone, I could have seen Fatino, Yeah at Giuseppes back in the background.

00:20:24
Speaker 5: The keys lock up.

00:20:26
Speaker 4: It would be it would be interesting to figure out who would be each person in this scenario. Got I'd like to it really would What what if the scandal happened here? I think it would have had to have been at Giuseppes Jessettes is the most. It's the restaurant most like Porcini's and Lexington. It's out there a little bit, but that's even bad. Yeah, that's right, that's even dark out there. It's yes.

00:20:58
Speaker 6: And then the saxophone, all the roses on the table's tablecloth.

00:21:03
Speaker 4: I like Giuseppes. It gets forgotten do out there because it because you got it, and it's hard to find parking sometimes.

00:21:11
Speaker 6: I was a little disappointed. I took my parents there. I was very excited. They're familiar with the commercial. It's a birthday good meal. I like Giuseppes, but we set so far away. I couldn't hear the saxophone, and that was like the whole reason. Well, the saxophone would have set the mood. It's exactly why we did. Definitely set the mood.

00:21:25
Speaker 2: I don't forget about it. I hear about it every morning. Tom Leech talks it up every morning on the Leach Report.

00:21:30
Speaker 4: Oh do they they advertise.

00:21:33
Speaker 6: Tom Leach is so good at reading radio ads, Like when he's talking about Giuseppes. Feel like I'm like sitting there eating with Tom Leech.

00:21:40
Speaker 3: He's it's Karen Cipher.

00:21:42
Speaker 4: Well, they wouldn't. I wish I had the skills that Tom has. Who's locking up? Who's Vinnie in this story? Tightly? We all think of the name. We gotta be care Yeah something fun? Uh. Let's yeah. As far as is how many would he have won? Let's say he did coach all this time, which he wouldn't have. Oh, he'd have won. He'd beat Shazhevsky, like right, yeah, I mean he would have had a Shrzewsky career, probably four or five titles.

00:22:11
Speaker 5: They were on the verge of winning like four out of the next seven or something like that. They were just an incredibly rolling right now.

00:22:17
Speaker 4: I mean you got to assume he could have won ninety eight, maybe ninety. But the point is, like he'd have just kept it going, yeah, you know, and like you would have been in contention most years. Sure, and you give him all those years, it's gonna be like Skryzhevsky, He's going to end up finding ways to win. So yeah, I think that's true.

00:22:35
Speaker 6: And the more he would have been won, and the more people would have wanted to play here, it would have just kept going.

00:22:39
Speaker 4: Again, Like what if he never goes to Louisville? What path do they go down? Yeah, that would be it is. It is a really good question. If I'm nine two eight oh, twenty two eighty seven, we will talk about the new pro sports team potentially coming to Kentucky. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. TJ Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ. He'll make them pay.

00:24:17
Speaker 4: Know that one, pid paranoid, know that one? Okay, man, Yeah, I know that one. Yeah, so to a certain for me, I knowing more from the reality show, as crazy as that seems, you know.

00:24:32
Speaker 6: I definitely do know one from yelling at Sharon. Sharon, that's the Ozzie I.

00:24:37
Speaker 4: Know, Yeah, which was like one of the most I think it sort of started the whole family reality show drama that later led to like Kardashians and all that stuff. I mean, Ozzy was like the first one of them.

00:24:50
Speaker 5: It was the first one introduced him to a whole new generation of people. You know by that that reality show.

00:24:56
Speaker 4: Ron, Yes, and it made all of them stars. It did, like him sharing got a talk show, Kelly. What was the other one's name?

00:25:06

00:25:06
Speaker 10: Jack?

00:25:07
Speaker 5: Happened to Jack?

00:25:09
Speaker 4: I don't know, so, I mean a lot of so rest in peace to Ozzie seventy seven? Was that right? Seventy six.

00:25:16
Speaker 3: Weeks ago?

00:25:17
Speaker 4: That's crazy? Well, rest in peace? All right? So questions on Ask Anything Wednesday? What person rights? Matt, I'd like to know of each of you. If you could be a singer and have one person's voice, who would you choose? I think I would want a voice that like, would be a talent with women like one that was like they'd go, oh, Michael Buble, Michael. I think I would go John Legend. That's a great one, John Legend. I feel like, Yeah, if you got John Legend's voice coming out of me, first of all, would be surprising, and secondly, I think it would it would play well, what about you man? That's a great answer, love John Legend. Plus I would know Vince didn't he weren't they friends? Yeah? Okay, I'm gonna go a different direction. I'll go Freddy Mercury Freddy Harry just trying to make some unique very talented. Yeah, Freddy Mercury didn't see that one coming. You know what, I didn't see that.

00:26:20
Speaker 6: And honestly, when I went open my mouth, I wasn't sure where I was going and that came out.

00:26:23
Speaker 4: So Freddie Mercury, Freddie Mercury, what about you?

00:26:25
Speaker 5: Obviously I'm going Darius Rucker, but my he's.

00:26:27
Speaker 4: Not particularly great singer.

00:26:29
Speaker 5: Oh I think he's the best singer the people. Soulful. Yeah, it soul Oh my goodness, it's mister soulful.

00:26:36
Speaker 4: Didn't he just refund people because he can't sing?

00:26:38
Speaker 5: Yeah, having some hell problems. Prayers, well, prayer up to Darius Rucker.

00:26:42
Speaker 4: Ryan speaking, someone who literally just had to refund this we for not being able to sing. Okay, all right, what's your other one?

00:26:49
Speaker 5: Harry Connick Junior is Okay, Harry.

00:26:51
Speaker 4: Conny Junior is a good one because women of a certain age, yes, oh, they love Harry Conny Junior. Yeah, okay, what about you.

00:26:57
Speaker 3: Shannon Chris Cornell?

00:27:00
Speaker 4: Right, yeah, that's that was gonna be yours one person. Rites, Matt, have you watched the Hunter Biden interview? Yes, I watched some of it. Wow, man, good way to put it. Wow Wow. I don't even know what to say. Like if I was Hunter Biden, you know, and I don't say this be rude because like people like drug addiction is a tough thing, and he clearly has had that problem. But like you've caused enough trouble, you know what I mean? Like if you're one thing I really respect about his dad is that he's stuck with that kid. I say, kid, he's older than I, but like he's constant trouble. And then does a three hour insane interview where he's talking about like crack and George Clooney, and like, I just I don't know why he can't just go Why does he.

00:27:52
Speaker 6: Just want to like go off into I didn't watch the whole thing, but I was scrolling Nutcroll. Yeah, I was scrolling the apps and I just saw Hunter Biden explains the difference between crack and cocaine, And I thought, did anyone ask.

00:28:06
Speaker 4: No, why is this here? What I don't understand the point, Like there's oh, throughout history we've talked about there are famous people who have family members who just constantly cause them trouble. Yeah, right, Bill Clinton's brother Roger, Jimmy Carter's brother, what was his name, Billy, Billy, Hunter's Biden. It feels like the Obama kids and the Bush kids are pretty normal, right, but why don't why not just stop?

00:28:35
Speaker 9: You know?

00:28:38
Speaker 5: Part of it is really sad.

00:28:39
Speaker 4: It's very sad. Yeah, but like, don't keep making it sad or a by continuing to He doesn't have to do these interviews now, and.

00:28:47
Speaker 5: He's obviously got the support around him. Just whatever reason. Once that moment in the spotlight, you think that that fifteen seconds, I don't know, keep going after it.

00:28:57
Speaker 4: I just if I was Hunter Biden, I just go off on someone here and just you know, but that's me. Maybe maybe he feels like he has things to say.

00:29:04
Speaker 9: All right.

00:29:04
Speaker 4: So the UFL, which used to be the XFL, which used to be the USFL, but it is now the UFL is getting rid of four teams and adding four teams. And the report is that Kentucky is going to have a team, right they It could either be based in Louisville or Lexington, or I've I been told maybe both. Half the games in Louisville, half the games in LEXI really do you think this can work? The season starts right as college basketball ends and goes through like early June April May. Basically, do you think that can work?

00:29:45
Speaker 5: It's only going to work if they get some Kentucky guys and Louisville guys on it. I mean, we saw the horsemen that we're here, and what was the Louisville indoor football team. They loaded up with the local guys, Louisville Fire. They loaded up with some little local guys so people would go watch him play. We went to watch Law of Me because it was our local guys with guys we knew. I think the UFL could work if they get the right roster.

00:30:07
Speaker 4: What do you think?

00:30:09
Speaker 6: I don't think it would work. I would really get into it. I mean, I'm still mad about a game last night played between thirty year olds that didn't really matter. I mean, I would get into it, but I just don't even know if the UFL is really gonna work. It feels like the third or fourth time in the last decade someone tried something like this.

00:30:24
Speaker 4: But they haven't done it here in a long time.

00:30:25
Speaker 6: Yeah, I just mean the league overall, there's been two seasons, and last year they dipped in attention across the board. So I just I just don't think the overall thing.

00:30:34
Speaker 4: Are optimistic about it. Why not? This is a place that loves sports. Yes, this is a place where sports drives the conversation as much as anywhere in the country. It's a time of year where you've just come off the high basketball, you got the Derby and all that stuff going on. If they market it right, why not. I mean, can it be a smashing success, Well no, but it be something that people enjoy and go to.

00:31:03
Speaker 5: Gave us the horseman, gave us something to do here in this town during the summers. I think they would look.

00:31:06
Speaker 4: At and if you do, half of them in Lexington and half of them in louisville'll call them the Kentucky Whatever's I mean?

00:31:14
Speaker 3: We had arena football, like you said, here in Louisville. It didn't work. For a reason. Nobody cared.

00:31:17
Speaker 2: The most exciting thing that ever happened in a Lobell Fire football game was Tony Benetti choking on a hot dog.

00:31:22
Speaker 3: I mean that was you know, nobody cared.

00:31:24
Speaker 4: But that's true. But I think Lexington is actually more apt to support it than louill.

00:31:29
Speaker 2: I think people would be excited at first but I think that excitement would wear off.

00:31:33
Speaker 3: Everybody would go to it.

00:31:34
Speaker 2: You know, anything that's new people love, and then you got to talk about the long term, you know, sustainability of it.

00:31:41
Speaker 4: Well, I'm staying more positive. I think it can work. I don't think it's like certain to work. They would have to do it the right way, and they would have to market it. I agree, they'd probably need to have Kentucky guys and Louisville guys that first year.

00:31:53
Speaker 5: Maybe get how mommy or somebody to be the coach?

00:31:55
Speaker 4: How perfect example, yet how mummy to be a coach? That was a really smart thing.

00:32:00
Speaker 6: Re Mark Stoops. Bob is one of the coaches. Bob's one of the head coaches in the league. You can retire and just do what.

00:32:07
Speaker 4: Well. I hope it works. I think anything that brings sports here would help someone. Brent, go ahead, Brent, Brent, all right, let's go. Okay, man, anytime you're ready.

00:32:23
Speaker 7: Hey, my bad, I'm working. Hey, So I got a couple of things real quick. So I'm for a lot of new listeners like me who are younger. I think I've kind of been curious if you guys would ever want to do like a off season like off season episode or like a YouTube video where you went over like the KSR history, like when everybody joined your kind of things like that to kind of just get up the speed on everyone's favorite radio show and that kind of stuff.

00:32:47
Speaker 4: It's a great idea. We ought to do it. The question would just be how we would do it. But uh, you know what, there are we add new people every year, so I think it's a good idea and that'd be the kind of thing we could keep for a long time, So we may try to do that.

00:32:59
Speaker 7: Brit all right, sweet, Yeah, I think a videosa or s But also I have a note the same real quick go for it. So maybe I'm stupid, but I want to feel like if you're if you're spending like almost more than almost every other player, like team in basketball, wouldn't there be like an asterisk or something next to a title being like, oh, yeah, they only won because they got like who.

00:33:25
Speaker 4: Spent the most money? Who's spent the most money last year in the NBA.

00:33:32
Speaker 7: Hey, I don't know that.

00:33:33
Speaker 4: Exactly, Like we don't know. At the end of the day, you just look at who won. Do you know who's spent the most money? In baseball in twenty twelve. Probably the yes, probably, but maybe not. You don't know spend.

00:33:46
Speaker 7: I just feel like it's different with the revenue split because with NBA you're spending all on basketball because it's the basketball league.

00:33:52
Speaker 4: If you're saying, well, let me put it in a different way, who's spent the most money? Who spent the most money on college basketball last year? I don't know exactly. I don't think people I just don't think people know, and I appreciate the call brand I think like, yeah, at the end of the day, this has been my opinion about nil from the beginning. When the game starts, we don't talk about right, nobody follows it. What college basketball coach makes the most money? Might know.

00:34:27
Speaker 6: Col's up there, I mean Cal's been passed. I guess that would be been.

00:34:31
Speaker 4: Passed and it's not John Shire. You know who they'd be. So I don't know. I actually don't know the answer. Maybe Danny Hurley, maybe it's Bill self. I'm not sure. But my point is like it is off season talk, but I think once the games start, people just forget about that stuff. The answer to who paid the most money last year for a team was Kansas State.

00:34:48
Speaker 5: That's right.

00:34:50
Speaker 4: What did they do? That's the big thing.

00:34:51
Speaker 6: You can't just attach to numbers of these guys because so many of them are overvalued and they don't pan out like we saw kansasate Indiana. The teams that spent the most did nothing year.

00:35:00
Speaker 4: So I'm Nikansas. I do think that it sets expectations, but to me, once the game start, the games of the games, and so I actually don't think it would make it an asterisk or anything like that. Hey, bourbon lovers, it what I said?

One person writes Matt, what is the best UH TV show theme song that was much better than the show Simon and Simon.

00:36:34
Speaker 5: Oh, that's a good one.

00:36:36
Speaker 4: Find the Simon and Simon theme Shitnon, Okay, it's got like I don't even remember the show. It was like two brothers, right, and they did stuff with each other. Yeah, I don't know what they do heard of it before I ever heard of it. You never heard of Simon and Simon. I just remember it has like the beat of the song. You know, they don't do TV theme songs as much anymore, but Successions is really good. Successions, Why Lotus is really good? Pranos? Yeah, yeah, I listened to that ship in there and there. That's like a good you could put. I could see Alice Blue down playing this, yeah, I would.

00:37:16
Speaker 3: How about magnum P.

00:37:18
Speaker 4: I Oh, mag and P is a really good one. Yeah, but mag and P has to show people know most people don't even know Simon and Simon.

00:37:24
Speaker 6: Simon, Simon's got that major dead actor in it.

00:37:27
Speaker 4: It does good call. It's a good call.

00:37:29
Speaker 8: Uh.

00:37:30
Speaker 4: Most famous TV theme song is probably what Andy Griffith Friends Friends, Yeah, Jefferson's Yeah as someone in the middle of a Sopranos rewatch.

00:37:41
Speaker 6: That still hits me every time. I don't hit really good. I still watch it through.

00:37:44
Speaker 4: But like I think, the ones that have words though, it makes it to wear people remember him more. Although I guess Andy Griffiths just whistling.

00:37:50
Speaker 5: That's what they say. The older show has always had words to it. The newer theme songs just Prady Bunch, pretty Munch.

00:37:55
Speaker 4: That's the way it all became. The Brady Bunch, Friends.

00:37:58
Speaker 5: Sandford and Son.

00:38:01
Speaker 4: Okay, they don't listen to me. They don't listen to me. I literally said, friends and Sanford and so, and then the next two answers by them are friends and Sanford. One person goes, uh, Matt Win is ks bar open? We do now have a date August twenty sixth, so we will open the Tuesday before the first game of the year. Nice.

Speaker 7: So y'all were talking about it.

00:38:41
Speaker 4: I was working the other day.

00:38:42
Speaker 7: I wasn't able to call in, but y'all were talking about changing the name from law Familia. How about Dim Bluegrass Boys.

00:38:51
Speaker 4: I'm good with it. I appreciate the call. I like that. I like that. I've gotten some bad names the people writing.

00:38:58
Speaker 5: In that one.

00:39:00
Speaker 4: What's wrong with that one?

00:39:03
Speaker 8: Yeah?

00:39:03
Speaker 4: Like, d I get it.

00:39:05
Speaker 3: You don't have to tell me that it's like them, but it's like, but it's cooler.

00:39:08
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's damn no.

00:39:09
Speaker 3: I didn't get it till you explained it to them.

00:39:11
Speaker 4: And I bet the boys has a Z. Seven Boys has a Z. That's the kind of team Jesser would have played for. He would have made his schedule work for Dim Bluegrass Boys. Jerry, go ahead, Jerry. If you're going to complain, I'm gonna hang up.

00:39:25
Speaker 10: I'm not complaining.

00:39:26
Speaker 4: Okay.

00:39:28
Speaker 10: What I was gonna say is you talk about me complain.

00:39:33
Speaker 4: For this is complaining. I knew it was complaining. I said, don't complain, complain.

00:39:40
Speaker 10: No, No, I was thinking I was have a discussions. Who are Stup's first got here? You and I were round around about whether or not he was going to be successful or not? Was because of a lot of things they were doing.

00:39:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, and.

00:39:57
Speaker 10: Not about to complain. I'm about to say that it seemed like something changed.

00:40:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, appreciate the call. I mean, this is that's complaining. And it's also not a question on ask anything Wednesday. That's complaining about Mark Stoops and I listen, there's plenty of time for that. But this is ask Anything Wednesday. I think we all knew the complaint was coming. You could fill the complaint around the corner. It was. You could feel it bottiling, you know, bubbling up. Jordan, go ahead, Jordan, Hey.

00:40:30
Speaker 8: Two quick things first, what happened with Ashton Hagens at the end of the twenty twenty season. And second, would you ever consider moving the show to eleven to one? It just seems like a lot of official news breaks at.

00:40:44
Speaker 4: Noon be cool to get around action. Well, it's first start on the second one. I would rather do the show from eleven to one so that people could come on their lunch breaks. The problem is, and I appreciate the call clear channel now iHeart. They had rush Limbaugh there for years and now they have Clay and Buck, and that is a show that cannot be moved. That's the only show on iHeart that you have to take as an iHeart station. Used to be Rush Limball, now it's Clay and Buck. So like on WLAP, they have to air Clay and Buck from It's required by the National Company and so we can't be on. I'm sure they'd love to have it. I think they have always wanted me to do ten to one, but they cannot move Clay and Buck because those are sacred Clay and Buck cows, and so we have to be ten to twelve or we have to start at three. So I would rather do ten. How would you describe what happened with Ashton Ay playing it back in my head. I remember he didn't go to Florida. That was the last game of the year. There was a video with him with cash, yeah, in a car.

00:41:46
Speaker 6: Cal said, he's leaving for personal reasons. This is one of those cows, probably either suspending or something happened, and he's gonna cover for him, not give us the full story. If I'm not mistaken. He said, Ash's out for personal reasons. But the whole there was this Win had seen that Snapchat.

00:42:01
Speaker 4: It was a Snapchat video of him like with a bunch of cash in his hand. And I don't think it's ever been said because COVID came and everybody just moved on. I don't think it's ever been said what happened. And I still don't really know what happened, do you no? But the timing that you wonder if Snapchat was a part of it. But would you miss a road trip over a snapchat? I wouldn't think so. I think it was just snapchat. He had a ton of cash, and I think maybe it made people worried. That's kind of how I think it ended up going
