00:02:56
Speaker 6: Is that right? Sort of?

00:02:58
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean it's like it's a pub, there's a public establishment.

00:03:02
Speaker 6: But what does that mean. It's it's super secret.

00:03:05
Speaker 3: It's just for like regulars only, so it's not open to the public. It's just open for people who are regular patrons of this place. But regular patrons of what of the bar slash restaurant?

00:03:18
Speaker 7: That's pretty secreted secretive to me.

00:03:20
Speaker 6: So, but I don't understand.

00:03:21
Speaker 3: So it's it's a barah, it's a place that you know, like you've been there. You've been there yourself.

00:03:27
Speaker 6: I've been to this.

00:03:27
Speaker 3: It's in Lovell Okay.

00:03:29
Speaker 6: And so it's a bar that has like people who go regularly.

00:03:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they cook and they do like a whole it's like free food and they don't want like everybody just coming off the streets and getting free food.

00:03:39
Speaker 6: So oh, it's free food.

00:03:41
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:03:41
Speaker 6: So what bar just decides to close down and make a free party?

00:03:45
Speaker 3: Yes? Yeah, but if I say that on the air, then everybody's going to be there and I can't I can't see I can tell you off the.

00:03:51
Speaker 4: Air, Okay, all right, so tell me what what you can tell me off the air? Yes, Well, I just thought it was he had another like you, you and Ryan and have had this whole like crazy, you know, crazy crazy party lifestyle.

00:04:05
Speaker 6: If we don't know about it, it's.

00:04:07
Speaker 3: Not as good easy, Okay.

00:04:09
Speaker 8: I don't really get jealous, But all these little parties they keep going to and they're bragging about it.

00:04:13
Speaker 7: Later.

00:04:14
Speaker 4: Are you getting Are you getting excited about the Super.

00:04:17
Speaker 7: Bowl at all? A little bit?

00:04:19
Speaker 5: I think I want to pick the Eagles, though I think, uh, you know, they're they're mad. They've been there what a couple of years ago and got beat by the Chiefs. Chiefs is an old hat for them. But I think I may be riding with the Eagles. About you, I'm.

00:04:31
Speaker 4: Not betting against Patrick Mahomes, Like, how many times do we have to do this? You cannot bet against Patrick Mahlmes. Patrick Mahomes wins, so like if he if he loses this time, then in the future I'll consider betting against him. But I am not betting not against Patrick Mahomes drew until he loses a game and and and I don't believe he will lose this one either.

00:04:50
Speaker 8: I'm probably I haven't made my commitment yet. I'm gonna get through Tonight's old miss game and then Tomorrow's when I'm really gonna lock in with all my props. I will have a billion props and all that, but I haven't. I haven't picked my lane yet. If I'm gonna be pro Eagles or Chiefs, probably Chiefs. So I'm with you if you bet against the Chiefs and lose, then you just gotta look at the mirror, call yourself an idiot.

00:05:07
Speaker 4: Yeah exactly, because like they'll lose one day, maybe it'll be Sunday. But are you gonna keep banging your head against the table and saying they're gonna lose or are you gonna keep going with.

00:05:18
Speaker 6: Him and then go all right, well, one day I'll lose, but I will have won. Shannon. The fifteen times before that, I kept rolling with.

00:05:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not gonna pick against the Chiefs, you know, against the Eagles. I would be pro Russia against the Philadelphia Eagles.

00:05:32
Speaker 6: What you really Yeah? Yeah, quarterback putin versus the Eagles. You're taking the comrade. That's okay?

00:05:38
Speaker 3: Yeah? Anybody interested?

00:05:40
Speaker 6: Yeah, I just you know, mahomes mahomes dad.

00:05:43
Speaker 4: And then you throw in all the other stuff that that that goes on with Kansas City.

00:05:47
Speaker 6: Uh yeah, y'all. With the ref.

00:05:52
Speaker 4: I have to tell you, the ref thing, to me is the most played out thing I've ever seen. I mean it like the way people and I don't even I'm not even really a Chiefs fan, but the way people will dissect every call and then when that when their call goes against them.

00:06:10
Speaker 6: They're like, finally, I just think it's ridiculous. I just said it's you to do that.

00:06:16
Speaker 4: That that game was tied, one team went down the field and scored. One team did right, and you know, and then people want to look for an excuse.

00:06:27
Speaker 8: For one bet. I can guarantee you I'm gonna make because I'm gonna parlay DeAndre Hopkins and AJ Brown touchdowns because those are receivers the Titans let walk and now they're.

00:06:35
Speaker 6: Both of the super Bowl.

00:06:36
Speaker 8: So you can go ahead bank on me betting on those.

00:06:39
Speaker 4: We will have like a bunch of Super Bowl special Yeah, we will put out you can get well, you can come watch the game here, or you can take the stuff home with you. We will always give you know, wing will give them. We sell wings for people to take for their parties as well. Do you like watching the Super Bowl at a party?

00:06:56
Speaker 7: Yes?

00:06:57
Speaker 6: You do?

00:06:57
Speaker 7: I do? Yeah, I love.

00:06:58
Speaker 6: Why do you like that?

00:06:59
Speaker 7: I don't know, just kind of a community thing. I like it.

00:07:02
Speaker 5: I like party going to this year. Well, I think yoga girl and I are gonna be going to a party.

00:07:07
Speaker 6: With one of those.

00:07:08
Speaker 8: Isn't it what you like a bookshelf?

00:07:10
Speaker 6: What kind of party.

00:07:11
Speaker 5: Her brother invited us to a party that we talked about last night. I think that's where we're gonna go.

00:07:16
Speaker 7: Yeah, is in one of these forty toy no no, no no.

00:07:18
Speaker 4: The way he said that, though Shannon made it seem like it was a different kind of the way, he was like, well, yoga girl and I are going to.

00:07:26
Speaker 6: A party, Well, good for you.

00:07:27
Speaker 4: I don't I don't like going to watch because I want to watch the game, and everybody's like, you have to like play numbers, and that's what's fun.

00:07:35
Speaker 6: Squares.

00:07:36
Speaker 8: Yeah, got some good squares.

00:07:37
Speaker 6: I'm so much more social than I am.

00:07:39
Speaker 4: Leonard Hamilton UH is going to retire at the end of the year. I wanted to bring that up because he needs to write. I mean, he's he's been going a long time and his teams have fallen a little bit, but he also is a pretty legendary career and I think goes in the annals of UK basketball is probably one of the four or five best assistant coaches ever at this school. Like, if you were to say, okay, who are the best assistant basketball coaches ever at UK?

00:08:07
Speaker 6: One of them is probably Joe B. Hall. For his time for his time with Adolphin. Huh.

00:08:13
Speaker 4: I think then you would look at Leonard Hamilton and say he's right there. You know, maybe you then go to like aerobic.

00:08:22
Speaker 6: At some point. Rubby Tubby wasn't here very long though, as an assistant.

00:08:27
Speaker 7: In two years.

00:08:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I mean I'm talking about somebody who's here for a good period to touch him as an assistant and does things as an assistant.

00:08:35
Speaker 6: Patinos folks were always in and out a couple of years.

00:08:39
Speaker 4: So much so I don't know if there's a Patino person in. Is there a Tubby assistant in that you thought was a really good Tubby assistant?

00:08:47
Speaker 6: Oh? The one, dude Sutton, Mike Sutton. Yes, I actually think he.

00:08:52
Speaker 4: Would be good on the list, and then went for cal I mean I think I put Robic on there, might put Orlando on there as well, but Leonard Hamilton. I mean there's an argument Leonard Hamilton could be number one on that list. Great recruiter like got Joe b was recruiting the top guys because of Leonard Hamilton. I think we need to recognize his career here.

00:09:15
Speaker 6: Definitely.

00:09:16
Speaker 8: I'll add Jim O'Brien was I remember him from camps but no yesterday, just reading up on Leonard and looking at old pictures of him with Joe b.

00:09:25
Speaker 6: He has not aged, but.

00:09:27
Speaker 8: I didn't realize it was fifty years ago when he was the coach of Kentucky. Fifty when he was on the sideline. That's wild that he was still coaching as long as he has and had that long career.

00:09:37
Speaker 4: And if you look at the picture of him when he was here, he doesn't look that much different now.

00:09:43
Speaker 6: I mean, the man did not age, and he had some good years of this.

00:09:47
Speaker 7: He did.

00:09:47
Speaker 4: He had he really I mean, he probably gave that team their best years outside of that year Bobby Surah.

00:09:53
Speaker 6: And Charlie Ward were on the team. He gave him some of their best years.

00:09:57
Speaker 5: He made Florida State basketball relevant where yeah, there were years where they were like a Final four contender. I think that he would get knocked off in the Elite eight or Sweet sixteen. But he made that football school basketball school for a couple of years.

00:10:08
Speaker 8: And before there, he had a good run at Miami where they were they'd occasionally beat Duke in North Carolina when that was unheard of.

00:10:13
Speaker 4: So congratulations to UH, to Leonard Hamilton and an important part of UK lower. I don't know that he'll ever like have a jersey or something like that, but he probably ought to be in the UK Athletics Hall of Fame. I do think that probably ought to happen at some point, because I do he is one of the three or four best assistant back.

00:10:32
Speaker 6: He's kind of the for people they're young. He's the Vince of that era.

00:10:36
Speaker 7: Would you agree with that? That's a good way to put it.

00:10:38
Speaker 4: He's kind of like Vince was. He was important in the eighties in basketball.

00:10:43
Speaker 8: Some of the national people that were talking about and were calling him one of the best recruiters and college basketball's ever had. I could see any school he's in the conversation, totally could see that.

00:10:52
Speaker 6: Who's next.

00:10:53
Speaker 3: Let's go to Doug.

00:10:54
Speaker 6: Doug, how are you, Doug?

00:10:56
Speaker 9: I'm doing great, Matt. Three things real quick. The third defensive player was Alway, Uh, you were the reason that Mark Maggard went out of business? And as far as why was I the reason?

00:11:11
Speaker 6: Why was I the reason Mark Maggard went out of business?

00:11:15
Speaker 9: Okay? I followed him, but not on his pay site. But he was trying to go pay site and he was complaining because one guy name was Matt Jones, was giving away all the information free.

00:11:27
Speaker 4: Yeah, well that's that's that is not true, but that's okay. And what's what's your third thing? I was giving away information free, but that was because that was our business model. We gave everything free. But it wasn't like his. I don't even remember the name of his site, but go ahead.

00:11:45
Speaker 6: Uh.

00:11:46
Speaker 9: He he did say that.

00:11:48
Speaker 2: Uh.

00:11:49
Speaker 9: And the Super Bowl, Uh Shanna said he would pull for Russia and Putin. Uh. Putin is also a side effect of colonoscopy.

00:12:00
Speaker 5: Yeah, joke of the day, joke of the day, joke of the week.

00:12:06
Speaker 4: Man, the folks here can't hear it. I'm not gonna repeat. I'm not dignifying that with a repeat answer.

00:12:11
Speaker 6: YEA, was that a great job?

00:12:14
Speaker 7: Yes, that came out of nowhere.

00:12:16
Speaker 6: I'm not sure if it was a great joke, but that's okay if I'm not in two eight oh twenty two eighty seven, Whose deck, Mike, Mike, go ahead, Mike.

00:12:27
Speaker 10: Yeah, I wanted to see what you guys thought. I've been thinking about it a lot of it, you know, y'all talking about the defense, and I agree it probably can't get better. I think it could be a lot better if he would cut that rotation down and ailso fact, that's why we're struggling. And he's unranked games, playing some guys too many minutes. And I'm not dogging the kids. I know they got to come along, but I think he's trying to bring them along too fast.

00:12:49
Speaker 6: I agree with you. I mean, I think he's used to.

00:12:52
Speaker 4: If you go back again to his by U days, and I appreciate the call, if you go back to his BYU days, he played a lot of people. That's what he did.

00:13:00
Speaker 6: He played.

00:13:00
Speaker 4: He didn't play anybody more than twenty five to twenty seven minutes. And I get that, and that's a philosophy. I think that is fine. But it's philosophy. That's fine, Drew. If you've got eleven guys that can play right now, we've got six that are a lot better than everybody else, and we just need to play those six. And it might not be what he's used to, it might be not normal, but it, I think, is what we need to do right now.

00:13:24
Speaker 8: And I know he's trying to throw stuff together while they're so limited, but you gotta find out an equation where three of your slowest defenders aren't on the court at the same time, or three guys that aren't a threat to shoot. I feel like he's you know, Chandler and Noah. Those guys have to play, but I don't know that they have to play together as much as as he's played them recently.

00:13:40
Speaker 6: That's it.

00:13:40
Speaker 5: I mean, I can see trying to steal some menace to rest your starters a little bit here there, but not all at the same time.

00:13:46
Speaker 4: I think that just so the line, this team is not a hockey line chase, not a hockey that's just now.

00:14:52
Speaker 4: It is Kentucky Sports Radio eight five, nine two, eight oh twenty two eighty seven here at the KS bar and grill U getting ready. Kat's an Old Miss game is at seven o'clock tonight on ESPN. Another Jimmy Dyke's game. I mean, how many Jimmy Dyke's games does one person get. I like Jimmy like he does a good job, and I think he understands Kentucky's team, which is part of why I like him. It's like he sees this so much, he didn't just say stupid stuff. And Carl's a nice guy, so I like that duo.

00:15:23
Speaker 7: And to be honest.

00:15:24
Speaker 5: The Kentucky Arkansas game other night, Jimmy was able to kind of relay the emotion of what is really happening on h.

00:15:30
Speaker 6: I mean, he coached here, right, so Jimmy understood.

00:15:33
Speaker 4: You know, let me give you example what Jimmy Dike's and Carl Rabbits did, which I appreciated. They came up to me before the game and said, all right, tell me how you think this atmosphere ranks in terms of the UK atmospheres. And I said, I don't remember another atmosphere like this in terms of like pregame, I said, the only two that stick out, I think we're the UK Carolina in twenty twelve and then the Rick Patino return.

00:16:03
Speaker 6: But those were day games and this is a night game, so.

00:16:07
Speaker 4: You have all not all day to get rid of it or to get ready for it. And he I think he even maybe used that line on the broadcast. So I like that they care enough to kind of know the history of it.

00:16:20
Speaker 6: Et cetera.

00:16:21
Speaker 8: He put out a tweet today say it's the last time we'll have him for a while. So for all you Jimmy Diyke's fans appreciate tonight, really like five in a row. Really said something weird, like we don't block the shots or make the threes or guard or something.

00:16:32
Speaker 7: I don't know what he was really saying, but.

00:16:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I'm sure he hears crazy. I think Jimmy does a good job. I really do. I think he I have a lot of complaints about how ESPN covers college basketball, but I do like that they kind of sign announcers to conferences so that they know, yes, they're talking about it about about the teams, by the way, and.

00:16:52
Speaker 8: Fish back on Saturday, was he there, no, no, this is coming Saturday.

00:16:56
Speaker 6: Oh, this coming.

00:16:57
Speaker 5: I won't say one more thingbo jimmydis were talking about. He had a really cool five moment where he did a game where his daughter was a cheerleader.

00:17:02
Speaker 7: I think it was at Tennessee.

00:17:03
Speaker 5: His thought was a cheerleader, maybe at Tennessee, and he was doing the game and you could tell you how almost got a little choked up talking about it.

00:17:09
Speaker 7: I thought that was a good father daughter moment.

00:17:11
Speaker 4: It's nice Dick Vitals returning Saturday Saturday. So he's returning Saturday for Duke at Clemson might be the only time Duke has a chance to lose the rest of the year.

00:17:22
Speaker 6: So are you excited to have You're gonna tell a bad baby, I's started game in a year and a half. I am.

00:17:29
Speaker 8: I'm someone that I've never disliked him, but I don't even say I got exhaustion, but you know, it got the dickiv stick got a little stale there for a while. But I've been missing him since the moment he's been gone.

00:17:40
Speaker 6: I saw her.

00:17:40
Speaker 8: He had like forty something procedures. It is amazing that he's able to do this. So I will absolutely be turned in.

00:17:45
Speaker 4: See, that's what I love about it is that this dude, you want to talk about a person who loves the sport. My dude, that guy has been I mean, how many times have we heard his cancer's gone, it's back, It's gone, it's back. He keeps he wants to be doing this so much that like, how can you begrudge it? How could you be anything but hoping?

00:18:07
Speaker 6: I know.

00:18:08
Speaker 4: I mean when he was on every game, it would wear people out. But I think it's very cool he's back. And you know, I watched that game. I want to seem be back.

00:18:19
Speaker 5: That's the only reason I want to watch that game for him to celebrate the moment with him. Forty procedures and he still loves it so much he wants to come back and still do it. What a tough guy that guy is. Man to I think I would be like, oh that's enough, enough's enough, I'm out.

00:18:32
Speaker 4: And we didn't talk about this because we lost the game, so the line wasn't as cool because we lost the game. But the game day thing where Andrea Carter made that line about you don't want to show up into the club with the downgrade and the way those people just didn't react with Seth, and that was to me the best epitome of why this generation of announcers needs to like change. Vital would be into it now. Vital takes up for coaches, but you never have to worry about his energy. And they're watching that Andrea make that joke and then just look at her. That was like, gosh, we got to get some fresh blood in this sport.

00:19:17
Speaker 8: That was the nail in the coffin for basketball. Game day Football is can't miss Saturday mornings. I genuinely I'm not saying this to talk trash. I don't think I'll be bothered to turn on college game day basketball for the rest of your unlesster A Kentucky. Like they often, I did not learn anything. I was not entertained. They're just sitting there all stoic. They just but that is not entertaining. I almost want to be like Free Andrea, get her some persons out because she's her.

00:19:40
Speaker 6: She was great on that and they just look at her. It's ridiculous.

00:19:44
Speaker 4: A couple of lines eight, five, nine, twenty two eighty seven.

00:19:46
Speaker 6: Who's up next? Clayton, Clayton, how are you Clayton?

00:19:51
Speaker 12: Damn good Man?

00:19:52
Speaker 6: How are you guys doing good?

00:19:56
Speaker 13: I'm trying to look forward to the rest of the season. But the Reed Shepherd thing, really they bothered me. I grew up in Kentucky and Kentucky sports or something I share with my dad, and uh, I just feel like, you know, with Reid and his dad. It makes it bother me more because I'm from Kentucky, He's from Kentucky, and I'm trying to get over it, but still struggling self. It's one of they get that off my chest and look forward to the rest of the show.

00:20:22
Speaker 6: I totally get it. I mean, I understand why people are like that.

00:20:25
Speaker 4: I mean, whether they whether they uh, you know, I had a number of people write me yesterday and go, I don't think you all should talk about the read Jeppard thing anymore. People you know, giving him a break. I'm giving him a break, but I'm not the one. Like, there's a lot of fans that are upset. There's this idea out there that I somehow magically control people's emotions and that if if I say it, that they're gonna stop.

00:20:51
Speaker 6: I mean, let me, let me. Let me read you a message I got yesterday just.

00:20:55
Speaker 4: Along the lines this, This is an actual message I got from a dude yesterday that it gives you an example.

00:21:03
Speaker 6: Here's what he said.

00:21:05
Speaker 4: You are the worst thing that could happen to Kentucky basketball players. Coaches and recruits read you all and when BBN tweets, the criticism hurts their feelings and hurts recruiting. You are the reason people get mad at the players. I know of multiple players that feel that way, and there's a reason for that.

00:21:23
Speaker 6: Good And I was like, you do you if I had that kind of magic, don't you think I'd use it for something other than like, hey send negative players. I wouldn't say if you send a negative.

00:21:36
Speaker 4: Tweet to a player you're a jerk, but that doesn't mean you can't have a feeling like Read Shepherd, what are you doing?

00:21:43
Speaker 6: Like you can feel that way?

00:21:45
Speaker 8: My tweet isn't even that critical. I said, this is an odd move by Read Shepherd. Is exactly what I said in my replies or like, why are you telling fans how to I'm like, I just said it's an odd move. It is an odd move. Yeah, that's not evening that critical. And I texted you this is before I put any thing on the internet or commented myself.

00:22:01
Speaker 6: Dude.

00:22:02
Speaker 8: People were coming up to me at Reparenna yelling at me about it, like I'm not inciting that. I'm telling you, I have ten people in front of me so mad at Re Shepherd.

00:22:10
Speaker 4: When I saw that picture, I knew what would happen, Like you and Reed had to have known. He had to have known. He is from the mountains, like he is amongst them. He had to have known, and he made the choice to do it. And I'm not saying the kids should never be like forgiven, it's in the grand scheme.

00:22:32
Speaker 6: Of thing, not a huge deal, but people are gonna be upset.

00:22:37
Speaker 4: Right if I go to a game Matthew Harper Jones, and it is Kentucky versus Louisville, and I show up in a Louisville T shirt and laugh, or even if I show up in a Joe Biden T shirt and laugh, I can't be surprised at the reaction.

00:22:59
Speaker 6: I'm going to Yeah, yep, right, Like I know what I'm gonna get. Now. I might choose to do it, but I know what's gonna happen. That's what he did. Yeah, So like he chose it.

00:23:11
Speaker 5: You know, the picture came out during our pregame show and we were all kind of speechless because we all think, I actally knew this is not gonna go well for him.

00:23:17
Speaker 4: It's just not and I'm not. You know, you are free to do whatever you want, but then you are also free to get the reaction that it gets, and that's exactly what happened.

00:23:31
Speaker 6: We'll take a break right back. It's KOSR. TJ.

00:29:06
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean Teddy Swim that's what he does. I gotta look up this Ray. Okay, I don't buy im. No, I don't buy Ray. Ray is not a person who's next.

00:29:15
Speaker 6: Let's go to ted Ray. Ted Go ahead, Tedy, that's.

00:29:21
Speaker 14: The segway, Teddy, Teddy, Teddy speaking from Teddy from Chicago too. Hey, guys, hometown here in Chicago. You know, I attended the UK in the eighties. I'm gonna be quicker and I got a colonoscul be thing for you too, man. But I like Pope. I really hope UK were to landed. Billy Donovan let me let me speak quickly to this. He's been here for five years now, you know, coaching through some of the most terrible bulls teams I've seen in my life, going through the Jordan days, and he's navigated many many postgame pressers and the beat here, as you guys know, is very tough, real tough. He's never ever been at a loss for words like Pope was Saturday. I was frozen when I listened to Mark.

00:30:01
Speaker 7: Now.

00:30:01
Speaker 14: Billy's a super smart, well smoken basketball guy. I always learned something when he speaks, and this leads me to Mark. I like Mark. I like him a lot. He's no doubt a smart guy. My concern he's a really nice guy too. That's why I like him. I concern is his ability to recruit the top shelf talent.

00:30:19
Speaker 6: We'll find out he didn't get Caleb Wilson.

00:30:23
Speaker 4: But remember that was an innile thing, and I don't know why that happened, and I'm not involved. But but today there was news Nate Ament, who is ranked in the top five, and really I don't know that Kentucky had been a huge contender for is now going to take his last visit to Kentucky and he is down to Doke, Kentucky and Louisville.

00:30:43
Speaker 6: What a threesome to be the last three.

00:30:45
Speaker 4: But if he gets him, that would answer your your concerns, right.

00:30:51
Speaker 14: Yeah, it does. I think I think you know, you gotta realize he's going up against guys like Cal and some smooth talkers. Billy's not a smooth talker. He is smooth, but he's authentic. Y.

00:31:00
Speaker 6: Billy's not coming here.

00:31:03
Speaker 4: On some level though, to go Billy Donovan, is this, Billy's this, He's not coming here, Like he's not the coach here. Mark is so like saying what Billy could have done is really not that productive for us because he's not coming here.

00:31:18
Speaker 14: All right, Hey man, let me get on an important thing here. You're a colonoscopy. I got some advice for you that is important. Start to start the magic potion regiment early in the day on Wednesday. Don't start it at noon. My doc had me started early in the morning, so I was done evacuating, got a good night's sleep. I hear people taking his starting at noon. They're up all night, they're they're not rested. You got to do a show Thursday. You tell your doctor you're starting at Wednesday morning early. You know what. My brother in law showed up in his colonoscopy. He drove there. The doc says, where's your where's your wife? He said, I drove. He said, well, we can't do it. He said why not? He said, we're giving you as He said, well, kid, have you ever done it without an He said no. He said, let's do it. He had a little discomfort.

00:32:05
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're not doing it. I'm taking all the anesthesia. I'm not I'm not I'm not a tough guy.

00:32:09
Speaker 4: I appreciate the car. I'm gonna take the anesthesia. I don't need to do any sort of you know, give it to me raw. I'm gonna go ahead, and I'm going ahead and doing it.

00:32:19
Speaker 7: I would not want that.

00:32:20
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go ahead and just to just you just do the anesthesia. And then Ryan is he doesn't know this yet, but he's gonna drive me home.

00:32:28
Speaker 7: I can drive you home all right.

00:32:29

00:32:34
Speaker 6: Why don't you think I'll be here. You don't think I'm gonna show up.

00:32:37
Speaker 7: It's just you're not gonna feel the greatest. You're gonna feel.

00:32:40
Speaker 6: I didn't feel the greatest last Thursday. That's true. You and I also need to show up.

00:32:44
Speaker 3: Could you drink the potion like during the show Wednesday.

00:32:46
Speaker 6: There's no.

00:32:47
Speaker 4: You don't do the potion anymore. It's like pills. It's like pills and and uh and all that stuff. So it's it's it's a lot, it's a lot better DraftKings. Uh, let's make our SEC picks.

Speaker 4: Vanderbilt at Florida. Any chance Vandy can pull the upset. Florida has been struggling.

00:33:24
Speaker 6: Yeah, Florida's gonna win Florida chanting any chance you get this.

00:33:27
Speaker 3: Vandy's not good on the road. They lost by thirty on Saturday at Oklahoma. They're gonna lose.

Speaker 8: Perfect spot to have a hangover game and lose at Texas. Yeah, not just the col dynamic, but a big win, playing so well like they did in Lexington.

00:33:51
Speaker 6: That's in a rivalry that's a historic rivalry that they have not played in years.

00:33:57
Speaker 4: I mean they have not played in a long long time. I'm against each other and this is a rivalry that goes back one hundred years, and I think they haven't played in like the last fifteen or twenty.

00:34:07

Speaker 7: Bob?

00:35:49
Speaker 6: How are you, Bob?

00:35:51
Speaker 11: I'm doing good. Matt, when you have your procedure Thursday, please, if you want to have a little a little more fun, tell said this you want ketamine. That way you'll be completely awake and you can watch it on the screen.

00:36:05
Speaker 6: I don't want to watch it? What who are you?

00:36:08
Speaker 13: Like?

00:36:09
Speaker 6: Like, like, why would I want to watch it? That way?

00:36:12
Speaker 11: You can see what I mean, you can see it personally. You're right there while it's happening, and it's it's a it's a real good show. You'll be watching a monitor and uh, I could say two hundred ninety milligram two hundred and ninety milligram, lindsay tablet a couple of bottles of Magnesi and said draight and you'll be good to go. I guess they tell the this it is you want? You want ketamine? You can watch it.

00:36:41
Speaker 4: It'll be sitting around taking ketamine all day. Okay, I'm good, but thank you.

00:36:45
Speaker 11: No, you just have it one time and then you'll be completely awake, you'll be aware. You can watch it. There's no pain, there's nothing that's good recovery, and it makes it a lot better experiences you'll remember.

00:37:00
Speaker 6: All right, Well, thank you very much, Bob. I appreciate it. Yeah, I really want to remember. But see again, I get all the people go, why why are you so mean to Bob?

00:37:09
Speaker 5: For all the times you did not cut Bob off? That on one I wish you would have cut Bob off.

00:37:14
Speaker 4: Doc k ol miss today, what tonight? What do you what are you expecting?

00:37:18
Speaker 8: I'm a little worried. Gotta get Butler back. They have really good guards, however they're small. Kentucky's got some length. Kentucky should be able to rebound. Play the guys that need to play as much as possible. And Kobe Brea just give him a little nudge, please play well, get some double digits and they can be okay, But I do worry about how they're gonna guard their guards. That the dude for Virginia Tech looks so good against a.

00:37:42
Speaker 6: He's really good. And what's the little dude that that shoots?

00:37:45
Speaker 8: You can't leave.

00:37:48
Speaker 6: Little the little white dude. You cannot leave that guy for Virginia. Yeah, he will.

00:37:53
Speaker 5: He will absolutely torch you if you're ready to go see. I'm I'm a little worried too about that. It may be a game what they do to the offense. If and do what they did against Arkansas'll just punch it into Mari and say, hey, man, just go get us a bucket, because he definitely has this. We have his size a vanity down low for sure.

00:38:08
Speaker 8: But they've also lost three or four. It's not like you're going in. It's just some hot team. I mean, their backs are against the wall too. It's just gonna create a run. Who do you think is.

00:38:16
Speaker 6: The key player for us?

00:38:20
Speaker 8: I feel like I say Kobe every game because he's been so cold. I'm actually gonna say one of those guys off the bench is gonna have played defense. You know. Now, I'm going off the grid. I'm going Brandon Garrison. He hadn't played well lately. He's had a few spurts. We need a full Brandon Garrison game, even though I just said that Mary needs to play a lot and he won't play the whole game. So when Garrison's in, I hope there's not a big drop off. I'll say him this.

00:38:43
Speaker 5: Game and you know they Andrew Carr's healthier. You know he's gonna play more minutes, and that that gives us a more of a size advantage down low. So maybe if if he is back to full strength or close to full strength, he can have a big game for him.

00:38:56
Speaker 8: Yeah, someone did send me a fun stat. Ole Miss is like nearly the last the all of college basketball height. I mean, they're pretty sure their guards that right, So Kentucky does have an advantage there. That'll be a lot faster and quicker and they play that way. But Kentucky has some hope.

00:39:09
Speaker 4: This is a game where we kind of get car back to car. This is the first game where he's not really been where he's not been on the injury list in a while, and I would like to see him get you know, I don't expect him to be one hundred percent. I mean, but that was a dude who was a double digit score for us for a long time that we've just kind of had to play around or without.

00:39:30
Speaker 6: For so long. I want to see that finally become a thing.

00:39:33
Speaker 8: And in most of the big wins, he made some big plays down the stretch. You know, maybe he didn't have the best game ever, but how many times we see him go get a three point play or go get a big rebound. So, I mean, he.

00:39:42
Speaker 4: Can get you a couple easy buckets around the rim, which is something this team struggles at getting. Sometimes I think that I think he's important.

00:39:51
Speaker 5: And this is a game where he can absolutely do that. Man gets get his confidence back and he can knock some of the rust off and play.

00:39:57
Speaker 7: Well. You know, what do you have?

00:39:59
Speaker 5: You have fifteen minutes game. He didn't play a whole lot. You look for probably double that maybe this game.

00:40:03
Speaker 6: Who's next?

00:40:04
Speaker 3: Shannon Roger?

00:40:05
Speaker 6: Roger, go ahead, Roger.

00:40:08
Speaker 12: Oh, thanks man for taking my call. The question I have, one of them is how come we didn't bowl in the Arkansas game with fifty six seconds ago?

00:40:18
Speaker 6: Ah, Probably because we thought it was over.

00:40:20
Speaker 4: I mean it was a ten point game, and there comes a point where you just don't necessarily need the spread to be twenty five points, you know.

00:40:28
Speaker 6: I mean that's just my guess. If I were to guess.

00:40:33
Speaker 12: Well, most most games I've ever watched, I've seen teams come back with thirty seconds to go by down by ten and win. I am not saying it.

00:40:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I'm not saying they shouldn't have done it, but like it is a trade off. I think, you know, there were a couple of plays. I think if we had made a shot here or there, maybe they would have done it. But you know, I don't know. I didn't have a huge complaint with not doing it, but go.

00:40:56
Speaker 12: Ahead, no, I mean, I just it was just weird because I the most scenes that they start fouling, That's what That's reason I was curious to say if anybody heard or you know, and then people was walking out at that time too.

00:41:09
Speaker 4: Yeah, people take it, you know, for all the excitement, and I appreciate the call for all the excitement there was in the ring, and there was a lot people also did get out of there as quickly as they could.

00:41:18
Speaker 8: Those stairs were pretty full of lady, they were. I mean it was Amuri cut it to ten with like a minute left. At that point, I think everybody knew what the end result was.

00:41:27
Speaker 5: Yeah, they blew a whistle, it was a foul or something, and the TV cameras showed them.

00:41:30
Speaker 4: People just mass I mean there were people that have been there since that opened the doors, you know. I do think there was and there was also I think a lot of people, as much as they wanted to see him come out, they didn't want to see cal leave with a big.

00:41:42
Speaker 6: Smile on his face, you know what I mean. I do think that was part of it.

00:41:44
Speaker 7: Dred think there's a true to that.

00:41:46
Speaker 6: Yeah, there was a lot.

00:41:46
Speaker 8: That's That's probably the biggest mass exitus i've seen. I think Tennessee got him pretty good a few years ago. And everybody left early because you just don't normally see that at rub you just stayed at the end, they were all scattering.
