Smith Office called TJ He'll make them pay. Yeah, all that this is like everyone in iHeart is here, except like the national press. I don't know why, but everybody's in town on this rainy day. They're all sitting in a room over there. They glared at us when we walked in.

00:01:22
Speaker 5: Nobody said a word to us when we walked in.

00:01:24
Speaker 2: I know, but we all got we go to lunch today, so this could be the day we all get fired.

00:01:29
Speaker 6: No one made eye contact for me.

00:01:30
Speaker 4: They'll get me a day late because they're coming to lovel tomorrow.

00:01:33
Speaker 3: So I'll okay what I wanted.

00:01:37
Speaker 2: To tell you? Yeah, yeah, you want to know.

00:01:38
Speaker 4: No, I just want to I want to be surprised. I want to show you guys just not be here.

00:01:42
Speaker 2: All right, fair enough, Well, somebody, some of.

00:01:45
Speaker 5: Us dressed appropriately for to meet with our bosses today, some of us.

00:01:48
Speaker 2: If you're talking about Mario wearing sweatpants.

00:01:50
Speaker 5: Those are designer pants.

00:01:52
Speaker 2: Oh those are designer pants. Well then I'm good. First of all, how can you say you're dressed appropriate? You're wearing a skin tie, workout T shirt, Nike pull over, very nice. Not nice? How's that appropriate? Drew's wearing a sweater, I'll give him. You're wearing a too tight approach.

00:02:09
Speaker 5: It's not tight, it's very loose fitting. It's very nice, snug.

00:02:14
Speaker 2: Why's dress up?

00:02:17
Speaker 5: No, it's well, it's better than the hoodie, than sweat pasts somebody has.

00:02:21
Speaker 2: This is my normal thing. You dressed worse than usual today, No, I dress better. I had on sweatpants yesterday five nine, twenty two eighty seven. I do want a note. I was listening chinning to you all on the pre show and you were talking about handshakes or whatever. Yes, I do want to put in a vote for I'm very anti people who who shake hands hard, and as a matter of fact, I go I'll go further. I think when someone tries to shake your hand and they get a big grip, they're over compensating for something. And I tend to find I mean dead serious, unless the if someone shakes my hand with a hard grip and doesn't smile. Now, when people smile sometimes that just means they might be like a good old country boy. But if somebody gives me a stern look and a stern handshake ninety three percent chance. I wouldn't like that person.

00:03:18
Speaker 4: I'm a hard handshaker though.

00:03:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you but you smile and you're also over compensating because you think you think people like well, you think people think you're not strong, and you're trying to show them you are. I know, you shit and like it's but when people like when people like trying to break your hand, I'm like, you are the worst. You're somebody who's trying way too hard. Well, now, I mean that's the best thing that happened from COVID. Yeah, I for the most part, I only fist pump people.

00:03:47
Speaker 5: They had that awkward moment where you don't know you we fist pumping, are shaking, okay, and.

00:03:51
Speaker 2: Then I'll just walk away from it. Every time. Yeah, it's been almost seven six years. I'm wrong every time. I that should have been a universal agreement with COVID. I mean we talked about this during COVID. Handshaking is gross. You don't know where that hand's been. Sure, it could have been on their junk using the restroom. It could have been in their hair, it could have been in the on the floor, in their nose it okay, it could have been in their nose, their whole hand, their fingers. Okay, I mean there's no reason for me to touch your grimy. You know, people go crazy about feet, but your feet are usually covered up.

00:04:30
Speaker 6: I protected.

00:04:31
Speaker 2: Your hand is out there touching things, slobbering on things. I don't need to touch it.

00:04:38
Speaker 6: When was the last time you think we wiped this down? Never hear both hands.

00:04:41
Speaker 2: Said, I thought that was a real bug. I could do it. I came in.

00:04:44
Speaker 6: I actually jumped when I saw that.

00:04:45
Speaker 2: But I'm so the fist bump, to me, makes the most sense of anything in the world.

00:04:51
Speaker 6: Yeah, I love this bumping. I wish that was universal. I agree with you on the handshake, but I was taught at a young age to give a firm handshake. But there's a level of your trying hard it is, but that's awesome, And like I'm trying to break your hand.

00:05:02
Speaker 2: As a meaning. Do you get a limp one like Mario's, then that one's hard because Mario was his hand. Yeah, Mario was like a king, going you kiss my hand, like we know some limp handshakers. That's where it's bad. But I that's why I think you just stay away from the handshake. And if these bosses try to handshake, I'm just gonna say no, thank you. The worst for me is when.

00:05:22
Speaker 6: We're going for a shake and I accidentally get caught with a limpy one, like you got my fingers for me? I almost want to ask for a redo, like can we back up and remember.

00:05:30
Speaker 4: The guy who was the politician or the reporter? I shook his finger.

00:05:33
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, this guy from the New York Times, Jonathan Miller.

00:05:36
Speaker 4: I went for a handshake.

00:05:37
Speaker 5: He gave me his finger.

00:05:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got you got the rare finger shake. You kind of gave him a finger pull. It was in Iowa. Yeah, he's like a vic not Jonathan Miller. Jonathan Uh.

00:05:49
Speaker 4: He's the worst handshake I've ever had.

00:05:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's with the New York Times. I'm nine eighty seven. One more thing. I think. You know how sometimes you'll hear something and like you had never heard it, and you hear it the first time and then you like notice it a lot, so you're like, you know what I mean, Like you'll hear about something you go I didn't know that. Just quickly Tuesday night, I was driving looking for some deed. Okay, I hang it up out there in Palomar unbeknownst to me what it's the hottest place in First of all, what did they build up? When did they build like seven hundred buildings out things out there? Now? I remember you used to cross Harridsburg Road and Maya War and it was just nothing until you got to I don't know, Harrodsburg, it was just nothing. Now all of a sudden, there is like they have built the taj Mahll across the street from there.

00:06:49
Speaker 7: That happen.

00:06:49
Speaker 2: I think they're moving our capitol building to that area happen recently. Even remember the beginning of that construction. And it's over and everything is open.

00:06:58
Speaker 6: Three of my very good friends live in that area and they're constantly sending pictures of the new restaurants, and.

00:07:02
Speaker 2: I'm like, I should have moved out. We've been You talk about if you don't go to a part of town and you go, what happened that area passed man a War on Palmar. I didn't there used to there used to be like one Ramsey's out there. That was it down the little downy until they were at the fountains. But it's even big past the fountains. So so the fountains, that's what it's called. So I pulled in there. I ended up eating it a place there, but I saw there was a publix. Okay, I've been listening to people talk about publics for a decade. Oh, you gotta go to the publics. Publics, A good new sandwiches of public publics, publics and a sushi Like I want to go eat sushi into publics. But they got a bar. Who who hangs out at a bar at the grocery store. Nevertheless, I've done talked to Hubby last night. He watched the UK Beller been game at a bar in publics. So I was like, you know what I'm out here, I'm just gonna go to publics. So I walked into publics, huge, very bright. I think that's the secret. I think that's why people like it.

00:08:05
Speaker 8: No, I do.

00:08:05
Speaker 2: Maybe I think that's why they like it so bright. They feel happy when they're there. They're like, oh, there's some of this line. But it's just a grocery store. Yeah, they have the same things. It's not even like a health food store. It's just it's groceries. And then they have like sandwiches, they have a taco bar whatever. So I spend twenty minutes walking around the publics, learn about publics, And I thought to myself, if I lived out here, Shannon, and if I went to grocery stores, yeah, like normal people might go to the publics. Right, Remember how long is public existed? Twenty years? It's been in Kentucky for a couple of years. In Florida. Yeah, never thought about it. Go in Tuesday night, wake up or excuse me, go in Monday night, wake up Tuesday morning. Get on my phone. You know that that building, that shopping center right next to where I live in Louisville. Yeah, turn it in to a publics.

00:09:01
Speaker 6: Wow, it's following you.

00:09:03
Speaker 2: I'd never Shannon been in there. And that Mid City Mall is now becoming.

00:09:06
Speaker 3: A public So Baxter's Theater is going to be a public. Baster Theaters closed already, mean they're going to turn that into a public.

00:09:12
Speaker 2: The whole building is being torn down and they're building a publics and then a shopping center with six shops, so like six storefront.

00:09:21
Speaker 4: This is actually perfect for you because you can go to your skyline and then you can go grocery shopping for.

00:09:25
Speaker 2: It's saving the skyline. I was worried about the sky yea, saving the Skyline, saving the Honey Brothers, saving the bookstore. But the rest of it becomes a public so here. Never thought about going to publics. Now there'll be one right out my door. And I'm excited because I enjoyed it. The bright lights, the big city. Uh, going to a pub sub that's the big thing that There was a long line at the Public's always what makes it so good? Why is it so good?

00:09:54
Speaker 5: I'm not going to stand in line for one, so I can't answer the question.

00:09:57
Speaker 6: They loaded up with a lot of ingredients. I've had a few you in Florida, a little walk from What makes it different than any sub shop? I just remember what I've got, Mario, you're from Florida. You eat them a lot. Do you have the answer? The ones I got were very big, didn't cost very much, is what I would say. I mean, they really load them up.

00:10:13
Speaker 2: Like a chicken tender sub like a fried chicken. But I mean I could get that anywhere. It just tastes better though.

00:10:18
Speaker 6: Okay, all right, maybe it was the lights.

00:10:22
Speaker 3: I'm with you, like, you can get a sub anywhere, okay, but there's literally in that shopping center.

00:10:27
Speaker 2: Shannon Ay subway.

00:10:30
Speaker 6: If you put a subway next to a subway sub next to a pub, sub are not going to look the same.

00:10:34
Speaker 2: But okay, all right, Well anyway, so now there's a publics, uh, that's basically gonna be in my house. And uh, I will say this, Shannon, you know that. How in the world is it? What are they going to get the traffic? Yeah, it's a two lane road in and out. How are you going to have a publix?

00:10:48
Speaker 3: You're gonna need a bigger parking lot too. Parking lots already here, need a bigger one for publics though people go crazy, but I can't build a bigger parking lot. It's it's surrounded by.

00:10:59
Speaker 2: Cemetery, brog which gets me to the when do we get to the point thereverybody just gets rid of the cemetery for a publics for a publics. I'm not saying it's popular, but I could see the argument being made.

00:11:10
Speaker 6: Is your oldmobile still in the in the backyard? You can move it and charge for parking.

00:11:15
Speaker 2: Yes, we don't talk about it, but it's been sitting there for seventeen years and it's still there, and publics may have to pay me to get there. Okay, can you hush? I'm nine twenty two eighty seven. The text machine is seven seven two seven seven four five two five four. Jay Lowe is going to be out for the year. We knew that, but we find out yesterday that we have a new starting lineup. Cam Williams starting. Not a big surprise, but Yellovich named starter over Mo Diabate, at least according to Jack Pilgrim, I was very surprised by that. Diabat bitched for Yellovich. Are you surprised?

00:12:01
Speaker 6: I am surprised. I've wanted to see more Yelovich for a long time. It even go back to begind of the season. I'm picking him as my MVP, trying to will it to existence, But now that it's actually happening, I'm a little confused. I guess he's just so disappointed Diabate because Jealovich before Misssippi State hasn't played much at all.

00:12:16
Speaker 2: He didn't play against Missouri, against Missouri or Alabama.

00:12:20
Speaker 6: So yes, I'm glad he's finally playing. I've wanted it for a long time, But I'm confused that he goes from the end of the bench to just all right, you're starting now. But I mean the lineup roulette continues for Kentucky.

00:12:30
Speaker 2: Two things that the things tells me. Number one, Mark Pope still doesn't know what to do with this team. You can't have a guy that did not play for two games and then he starts two games later, Like that doesn't make any sense. If he was good enough to start, why didn't he play two games ago? So but be that as he's starting. Number two, it's clear he's not happy with Mo Diabaatee. There's no way you bench diabate who was supposed to be the leader of your team for a guy who hadn't played two games ago.

00:13:00
Speaker 5: You're bad at It tells me too, he's going back to the offense that he wants to run with that stretch forward guy that can shoot down the corner, because Diabote is not that guy. Had it played different with Diabatee in there, Yellovich gives him the offense, the lineup that I think he wants to try to play with.

00:13:14
Speaker 2: Now, do you think it's the right decision? I think so.

00:13:18
Speaker 6: And as we've said, you know we're not in the locker room. But if you're watching the game on TV, you see a Diabate jawing with someone. Something's off there, so.

00:13:26
Speaker 2: He's streat games where people at the game have told me Diabate's been fighting with somebody.

00:13:31
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's it's not speculating. You can see it with your eyeballs at this point. So as excited as I am for the offense to change up a little bit and bring Yellovich in, I think overall this says more about Diabate and how Pope feels about him and using the bench as a tool. But remember when Brandon Garrison got benched, he played his best game the very next time out.

00:13:47
Speaker 2: So hopefully this is well received well, and it may also be with Jayalen Lowe out. You've got to generate offense. How you can't sure at this point, and you think Yelovich gives us a better chance to generate offense.

00:13:58
Speaker 5: We all agree they're better with Cam Williams on the floor. You put Cam at the three, Yelevist at the four and try to get it.

00:14:04
Speaker 2: Just generate away Aberdeen, Williams, Yellovich and Moreno, not a starting lineup anybody would have imagined at the end of the year, none at all, but that's what it is. Here we go and I think Oa will end up playing a lot of point.

00:14:19
Speaker 6: Always the team right now, in my eyes, the way he started SEC play was at twenty twenty and twenty twenty twenty and twenty two in three games. I mean, it's all him right now. He's got to keep that going.

00:14:29
Speaker 2: If I'm nine to eighth twenty two eighty seven, and if I'm supposed to get something else in the public, so let me Apparently that's gonna become part of my life now, so I'm gonna go.

00:14:38
Speaker 6: Oh, you'll stay taking your own bag, take it in.

00:14:40
Speaker 2: I'm not under saying they asked me to join a team like well, I mean I bought the soda and they were like, I bought so did I bought light bulbs and they were like, well, if you sign up for this, you get five dollars off. And it was like a code and it was just too much. I don't want to be part of your group, but if it's but if it's gonna be next door to me, then I may have to become part of their group. Yeah, We'll be right back to kas Welcome back Tekey Sports Radio. If I'm nine two eight oh, twenty two eighty seven. Text for sheet seven seven two seven to seven four five two five four One person right, Matt, stupid. I was raised to do firm handshakes by my grandpa and dad because they show you're strong. Well, I'm sure your grandpa and dad were fine people, but who cares what they think? Like it's just I mean, like it's the only thing where we We've a lot we've told society, A you get, you should touch someone. Generally speaking, we don't think people should just go around touching each other. And secondly, like you don't just go up to someone and just start shaking them. But we have this idea that I'm gonna break it cause you know, some people get I think, get off on pertinent. That's the point.

00:15:47
Speaker 6: There's firm like I'm I'm giving some respect here, nice firm handshake, and there's I'm squeezing and trying to like win a handshand on battle. You know you're trying too hard. Just shake my hand, actually, fistum me one.

00:15:58
Speaker 2: Person rights, Matt. I've seen you in that building before the Mid City mall. Do you are you gonna miss the theater? Yeah? I have a lot of memories in that. I mean, I listen I've lived there almost twenty years. Just to give you a few of them. That theater, I've probably seen two hundred movies in that theater.

00:16:17
Speaker 6: Wow, gone, isn't that where you did your marathons?

00:16:20
Speaker 2: Yes? Well one of the places, Yes, the grocery store. Back when I would go, that's where I went. The library there. I've done multiple ESPN shows in the library where my internet would go out and I would have nowhere else to go, and they'd put me in a room. In that little library. There's a jazzer size studio. Oh now, I never jazzer size, but I would walk by and I'm like, you know, people still jazzer size?

00:16:44
Speaker 8: Who knew?

00:16:45
Speaker 2: You didn't do it one time? Come on, it's just us, No you did. You can think about it too. Well. The jazzer size is like a different era. People aren't really jazzer sizing now. When I remember when I hurt my wrist when I went through the window, I ran into the doctor's office there with bloody arm coming down. There's a little doctor there and I ran in there and go help, and they were like, we can't help. It's a doctor's off.

00:17:13
Speaker 1: What.

00:17:14
Speaker 3: Well, guess what public isn't going to be a help you either you run public you get a band aid.

00:17:18
Speaker 5: Maybe, so all those places.

00:17:20
Speaker 2: You did mention, if they're not already gone, there are all going to be gone. And there's a comedy and then there used to be a comedy play, comedy comedy caravan where when I first moved to Louisville, I saw Greg Fitzsimmons there, I saw Bill Burr there. Yeah, that's hard right there. Well it's not there anymore. It's gone. Yeah, it's it's it's it's gone. One person writes Matt. The thing that's good about Public's is boores Head beef. What does that mean they have that? Yeah, it's just everywhere a brand of meat you can get that's not exclusive to Postle.

00:17:53
Speaker 4: It's not no London I can tell you that.

00:17:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I mean so that's not that I mean if you can get it anywhere. Yeah.

00:18:00
Speaker 5: Publics's famous for like buy one, get one.

00:18:01
Speaker 2: Free, like that that. I've heard of other places doing that too.

00:18:04
Speaker 5: That's finally what they're known for. They're kind of.

00:18:06
Speaker 2: Giving these we I think I do an ad for that for cornbread him.

00:18:10
Speaker 5: Yeah, they've got they created that, They've got lots of them. Maybe it's what it is.

00:18:17
Speaker 2: Okay, Roscoe, go ahead, Roscoe.

00:18:20
Speaker 9: Hey guys, Hey, A couple of quick questions, one real fast and then the other one.

00:18:26
Speaker 8: Uh.

00:18:27
Speaker 9: Well, first of all, how is a compensation structured to college athletes? Do they just get like a lump?

00:18:34
Speaker 2: Some depends you got a shadon, depends.

00:18:36
Speaker 9: Type of player right now and uh, and that's going on.

00:18:42
Speaker 2: It depends. They're all different some people some people get paid, some people get get paid all up front. What I've heard had started to happen this season, at least in football, is that they would not give the last payment until after the bowl game to make sure that people played in the bowl game, because you may have seen this year very few people opted out. And what I've heard is that part of it was they made it to where the last payment did not come to after the bowl game. Now, the problem with that is there's a couple of programs that apparently didn't pay their last payments, and now that hurt them with with with with uh, you know, with with future players, et cetera. But in general, I don't think they pay them up front. I think they pay them out in sums over time and more and more it looks like schools are making the last payment after the season ends.

00:19:32
Speaker 9: I think they ought to pay per game or something like that. But hey, one other quick question. How come the call in line you all don't advertise it is two eight zero cats instead of two two eight seven and all hang.

00:19:45
Speaker 8: Up and listen.

00:19:47
Speaker 2: I don't think I knew it was to eight. Oh oh yeah it is really yeah.

00:19:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, but a lot of people can't find c ats on their phone.

00:19:55
Speaker 2: Well do people still have the letters? Still?

00:19:57
Speaker 4: They're still there?

00:19:58
Speaker 2: Yeah?

00:19:59
Speaker 6: I used to write in parentses cats when I was right in the number.

00:20:03
Speaker 2: I faintly remember that. We used to do that, but then they stopped telling me to do it.

00:20:07
Speaker 5: So if I'm Cats, yeah that's two eight seven.

00:20:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll be easier to remember, because every time I go on vacation when I come back, I have to write the numbers down to remember. Maybe long. All right, if I'm nine two eight oh cats, open a whole new world. I know. Now I have to remember six numbers, and I already know if I've not, So really, it's now all about the two eight Oh you got it. Let's go to at him, Go ahead, at him?

00:20:34
Speaker 10: Hey, what's up, Matt?

00:20:35
Speaker 2: Uh?

00:20:36
Speaker 10: What's up, and you know pretty much the entire basketball season that the team will go as far as Jalen low Yes, now that he is out, let me offer a silver lining. Okay, you know, let's say that he you know, has the surgery and he can come back fully healthy next season by playing Jasper Johnson at the point guard one. Now, maybe he won't transfer out, and then you can start low and Jasper Johnson at the one and the two next year and that that kind of, you know, helps with kind of our lull and recruiting if you can get fully experienced.

00:21:16
Speaker 2: Love that view. I think that's a I think that's a great positive view. I appreciate the call, which is you do enough now to get Jasper Johnson time to where you want to come back. You know, Jalen Lowe's dad insinuated to Jack Pilgrim last night that Jalen low would like to come back, but he also seemed to insinuate that he wasn't sure that UK with want him back. I don't know what that's about. That'll probably play out over the course of the year, but either way, you're right now, my expectations for the team have changed. I'll be interested with what you all have. I came into this year thinking we could win the national championship. I after the Purdue game, thought we'd certainly make the final on four. Now I'm like, let's make the tournament and then let's just hope we get a That's kind of where I am. Where are you?

00:22:02
Speaker 5: Exactly where I am just and it's awful that our expectations for Kentucky basketball is just get in the tournament.

00:22:08
Speaker 2: I think that's where I am though, because if I'm being realistic now, we can evaluate at the end of the year, Drew whether that was acceptable enough. But for right now, I think that's just where I am.

00:22:17
Speaker 6: I'm the same. There's not a game on the schedule where I'm gonna wake up that day like we're win of the night. I agree, LSU, maybe Ole Miss at home. I'm not a game on the schedule, not a single game on the schedule, and it stinks we're at that point. I mean, however, unless they go on an amazing run, I'm gonna be disappointing the show. I'm not changing my bar, but at this point, it just getting the tournaments. We have a hope of having some magic. I'm counting the wins. I think it takes seven wins for us to make the tournament in our last fifteen games, so every time we get one.

00:22:47
Speaker 2: Off the list. And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this is acceptable. I'm just saying it's the reality of where we are right now because we didn't recurr to backup point guard. So we are where we are. We'll take a break right back KSR. TJ. Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ.

Speaker 4: Here's Matt Jones probably.

00:23:07
Speaker 2: My number one guilty pleasure song.

00:23:09
Speaker 4: Here, Shannon, even still when it first came out, you still love the song.

00:23:14
Speaker 2: I shouldn't like it, but I do.

00:23:16
Speaker 6: It's my shot song. I'm supposed to be taking a shot of alcohol right now, no matter where I.

00:23:20
Speaker 2: Am at that. Uh yeah, I do like it. Carly Jipson, what are you gonna do? Wonder what having to her? She's still around just making money on this song. Eighty seven some people on the text machine chan and making fun of me. Matt, you bought light bulbs? Who did you hire to put them in? That's a good line. That's good. It's not nice. I bought them and I put them in, and then my house is much brighter. One person says, publics will also do a seafood boil right there for you to take home. You just pick out the seafood and they will boil it there.

00:23:52
Speaker 4: That sounds amazing. You like it seafood?

00:23:56
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know that you ever had one, like a shrimp light of that sounds good. Well, they'll anything. They'll do for me right there. I'm four.

00:24:04
Speaker 6: It's pretty cool. I have hot water at home, though I can boil. Yeah, you're boiled.

00:24:09
Speaker 4: I haven't boil an egg.

00:24:13
Speaker 2: One person writes, mat, I, I respect your opinion on things, so I'm asking this nicely. It's always a tough start to the sentence. I think you've lived in that place now for almost twenty years. You could have bought it by now. Why do you still rent? It's a good fair question because he's never in twenty years raised the rent, which is pretty cool, pretty good. It's a good land one time.

00:24:38
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a great landlord.

00:24:39
Speaker 2: I'm still paying what I paid in two thousand and six grand bothered in go to charts and see I mean if I told you what that place was, you'd be I mean, you know what it is, you'd be shocked. What do you think? Well, now I won't. But it's so I don't ever leave. I'm not even there that often. I don't ever leave because like why would It's it's like it's cheaper than the storage unit. He could get.

00:25:05
Speaker 5: He could get five times five.

00:25:07
Speaker 2: Times what I pay. Yes, and he always is like you're a good rent. So no, and the person, well, I won't get but like, yeah, he could get five times. But so that's why I don't. Plus, I feel like I'm not gonna be a good homeowner.

00:25:22
Speaker 4: What did you buying light bulbs? That's good?

00:25:24
Speaker 2: Was Mario gonna be moving chairs into your kitchen? I mean it's like like there's a lot of work that goes with that. I just won't do a great job with.

00:25:34
Speaker 5: What's the update of the Mario your apartment?

00:25:37
Speaker 2: Does I think I put it back? He's gonna he's gonna rework on work to try to make it. Are you what do you think about the game tonight? Are you confident? Not confident? What's the spread?

00:25:47
Speaker 6: Three four and a half point?

00:25:49
Speaker 2: I said it was gonna be three and a half. That seems like about right. Do you are you confident?

00:25:53
Speaker 6: I don't know if confidence is the word. They haven't won yet in the sec Well, their their best player. His status will decide my confidence. He's the three games that they lost to the three games he didn't play, so they're a different team without him, and he's doubtful tonight without.

00:26:09
Speaker 2: But he shows up, we don't need doubt. The thing is he needs to get himself to where there's no doubt and then he can play this weekend and they're cheating.

00:26:17
Speaker 6: We already said Low's out, acquaints is out. They're kind of dragging this along.

00:26:21
Speaker 2: Do you know what you know?

00:26:22
Speaker 6: But he would say Deedan Thomas, he's very good, gets like seventeen a game. He's their point guard. He's the reason they're zero and three right now, and doubtful tonight. That makes me feel better with him unlikely to go.

00:26:33
Speaker 5: Yeah, both teams are. Point guard is the one that's been kind of the thought we was gonna be their driving force and we've lost ours and they've lost theirs for several games. So so ask your question, my confident, I'm not.

00:26:43
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not confident, but we need to win. Yes, I mean this is a big one. This is just like the Missouri game Mississippi State. It's a big one. You need this one. Two and two is not ideal. You'd like to be three and one, but you'll take two and two because then you can go steal one some where. Sure, but if you want to keep on the track to get in the tournament and feel good you've got The other thing is if you lose this game, folks, we will be in last place in the SEC. Yeah. And they're the only team that's lost, so if you lose, then they have the tiebreaker on you. You will be in last place in the SEC.

00:27:18
Speaker 6: And I know we focus on getting on the big tournament. Not everybody cares about Nashville. But yesterday I'm talking to Tyler and we're talking about booking Wednesday already.

00:27:26
Speaker 2: I can't do this. I need to see the weekend of the SEC tournament. We can't go in on Wednesday. The chances are we're gonna play on Wednesday. I mean, if we're not, let's get some wins. But we also maybe we turn it around and maybe this maybe benching Diabayte and having just Low being gone forcing them to go back to the old offense.

00:27:47
Speaker 5: Ryan, maybe it works it Maybe that it worked the second half Intssissippi State. Yeah, the offense looked better, and it's looked.

00:27:53
Speaker 2: In weeks, so maybe, you know, maybe maybe that's what it takes sometimes. You know, what was the year Patrick Ewing got hurt? Patrick Ewing is one of the the forty best players of all time. He gets hurt, the Knicks have to completely change the way they play because he's hurt. Then they got to the championship, right, Larry Johnson and them because they just I'm reaching Pope used to be a Nick. I'll hope you here has been in New York, like all of those froments could maybe that maybe that happens. Let's go to Steve. Go ahead, Steve, Hey, guys.

00:28:31
Speaker 11: Circling back to potential lineups, here's what I'd like to see ol Way, Aberdeen, Johnson, Malachai and Williams. I think Aton gets us off to a lot better start in the beginning of games, and you have.

00:28:48
Speaker 2: You might see that lineup, by the way, sure, I mean that's that's a lineup that I I mean it's the four starters and then Johnson instead of yellowch. I could easily see that being a lineup that that that you get in some games.

00:29:04
Speaker 11: Yeah, and I think you bring Chandler and Know off the bench for the Smalls and uh, you know, we gotta we have to look at JQ. Is not going to be a focal point this year. I don't think, you know, it's it's going to be tough for him to catch up, I think, but you know, then we got the Garrison. Uh he's playing a little bit better now yellowch. So uh yeah, I like that start lineup. I'd love to start games.

00:29:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if that. I appreciate the call. I mean, I don't know if they'll start with that, but I think it makes sense. Our acquaintance is out again, are you.

00:29:36
Speaker 9: Like?

00:29:37
Speaker 2: Where are we on quaintance? We do? Do we all think he's going to play again? Yeah? I've never rhy don't answer. I heard you Saturday, but go ahead.

00:29:46
Speaker 6: Not even one percent of me has had like the shadon sharp he'll see that thing.

00:29:50
Speaker 2: Not all year.

00:29:51
Speaker 6: He's had the right attitude, but that was before we're starting here swelling. If the knee is flaring up, stuff that does make me worry a little bit. But I don't think we're going to have any him stepping away way to protect the draft. I think he still needs to play a little bit more to secure his spot. So uh, I think we'll see him again. But I do worry if that thing's gonna keep swelling up, how much we'll see him again.

00:30:10
Speaker 5: You're playing if it swells up you maybe it may be something he plays one game six, two plays one game six too. But if that needs gonna swell up.

00:30:17
Speaker 2: But go ahead, go ahead, b B be who you were in the pregame, So go ahead and be mister negative. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna jump at you. People. People didn't like that jumped at you last time.

00:30:28
Speaker 5: Go ah, well, I didn't even take that side. I said that that's the conspiracy theorist that maybe he is to that point where.

00:30:34
Speaker 2: He may say that though like you say it because you believe No, I don't believe it.

00:30:38
Speaker 5: We're just that's the open forum. We're discussing it in Kentucky Sports Radio.

00:30:41
Speaker 2: All right, let's go. We didn't get your prediction though, Let's go to oh gosh, what is it that bad? Just go to Bob and James. He's been on from the beginning.

Speaker 2: I'm willing to acknowledge best Bob and Jamestown call of all time. Right there, ever, without question and if you don't make that stuff, this stuff is classified in a drive, I'm gonna be pretty upset. Yeah, we can do that. I somebody suggests during the break, we think Drew send Mario with Bob to the Alien I.

00:34:30
Speaker 6: Was offering right there on the spot.

00:34:31
Speaker 2: So I meant, what do you think you think, Mario Mario Bob road trip where Mario could like show what Bob is like behind the scenes? Do we want to know? And then Mario, I mean, could could go to the Alien?

00:34:48
Speaker 10: Thing?

00:34:49
Speaker 6: Think even bigger?

00:34:50
Speaker 3: Though?

00:34:50
Speaker 2: What if there is breaking news and Mario's there and he's the only reporter? All right, So let's let's put this up to a popular vote. Would you like to send Mario with Bob and James? Well, I'll tell you what where could we post a? You do it on Twitter? Put a would you like Mario to go with Bob and Jamestown yesterday? Mario, if he gets eighty percent of the vote, you're going, oh, man, eighty percent. I'm not gonna make it fifty to fifty eighty percent. Then we'll send you, assuming Bob will take you or I'll let you drive separately. I don't know if I what you get Bob gets in Mario's new car. Mario's new car and Bob eighty percent, So go ahead and post that, Drew. If we get eighty percent, yes, Mario, we will send you to the church across the street from the library, down the road from Dayton.

00:35:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can watch the Tennessee game with him too.

00:35:57
Speaker 2: That games at noon, games at noon. Yeah, you all can go to a sports bar. Get you and Bob. I won't make you ride with Bob. I wouldn't wish that on anyone, but sending you I think Ryan, I think it's great content. Yeah, and plus weekend people could find because lot of people don't even know what Bob looks like. True, this would be a good chance. And I don't have to be arounding.

00:36:23
Speaker 5: Well, he's he's got me excited to know eighty It'll.

00:36:27
Speaker 2: Be up to the fans vote. Andrew's Twitter eight two eight zero Cats. Cincinnati plays basketball tonight against Colorado. You probably don't care. Normally who cares Cincinnati and Colorado? Shannon, not a game anybody's gonna care about it. But the Cincinnati students have said they're going to come to the game with bags on their head, the whole student section, because they're so upset about the Cincinnati coach. Now Cincinnati fans are begging them not to because they say it's bad. Look, the Cincinnati students are saying, we're doing it anyway. The universe. Some people are saying the University of Cincinnati should ban bags from coming into the game. What do you make what should happen here tonight? Shannon a baggate at Cincinnati's basketball.

00:37:18
Speaker 3: My understanding is they have a clear bag policy. So if you're a Cincinnati fan, do you just put the clear bag on your head? I mean you can still see your face. That kind of defeats the purpose, but the seramon's still there.

00:37:29
Speaker 4: Clear bags.

00:37:33
Speaker 6: Yeah, we need casualties there.

00:37:35
Speaker 2: Yeah. The student the leader of the students, actually claims they're gonna do it.

00:37:40
Speaker 5: Well, apparently somebody showed up his coaches show last night with a bag over their head. That kind of yeah, that was Monday Monday.

00:37:48
Speaker 2: But the students, they've put out a whole thing saying they're going to do it.

00:37:52
Speaker 3: You're Cincinnati basketball, by the way, How about some self awareness.

00:37:56
Speaker 2: No, well, they've been to the final four. You were a number one team in America. They were the favorites to win the national championship until Kenyon broke his leg that year.

00:38:06
Speaker 5: Didn't Kurk crisa transfer to since.

00:38:09
Speaker 2: He's there now and uh and there with him? Well, wasn't CJ. Frederick there he was?

00:38:16
Speaker 6: I don't think he's still there. Yeah, Darby Shire is also there and Creasa left to go.

00:38:21
Speaker 2: So if you if it was our student section, Ryan, would you get up, give up and given him passion plea not to do it?

00:38:29
Speaker 5: Yes, I probably would.

00:38:31
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a good look.

00:38:32
Speaker 5: Not a good look at all. You got a home game and your fans are turning on your coach with still a lot of basketball left.

00:38:38
Speaker 2: I wonder if that like more people will come to support the team knowing this is gonna happen. Could be because I would think a Cincinnati Colorado basketball game is normally not gonna get a huge crowd. Maybe he gets more of one.

00:38:50
Speaker 4: You say it's not a good look, it might be an improvement for some of these people.

00:38:57
Speaker 2: You're trying to suggest people in Cincinnati are not attracted. No, not everybody, but some of them, I said, Mark Anthony, go ahead.

00:39:07
Speaker 12: Channon Matthew, what did Mario do to you to make you want to send him to Dayton?

00:39:13
Speaker 2: I just think it'd be good content. I think seeing Bob in the Alien, he'll meet so many weird thos, and like, I just think it would be it would be great.

00:39:22
Speaker 12: You will, you will sire that young man on hanging out with old white men for good and all.

00:39:27
Speaker 2: And I'm an old I don't think he hangs out white men now. But yes, it's right.

00:39:33
Speaker 8: Listen.

00:39:35
Speaker 12: As much as you may or may not want this, Jasper Johnson has got to play at the point a lot two days. But we have no choice because when you put Denzel on the ball, you are a net loser. And so he has got to play the point, and he's got to play it a lot, and I think he will do. He's I think he's up to it. He wants to try to do what he needs to do. But whether or not he can develop his skills well enough to carry him through it's remains to be seen. But you have no choice but the league track.

00:40:09
Speaker 2: I agree. I Mark, I'm with you. I appreciate the call. I think he's got to play. I'm especially with low out there's only that's the only way to get the ball. With fifty seven minutes remaining on the poll, five hundred and nineteen votes are in. Should Mario go to Bellbrook, Ohio to learn about ghosts and aliens with Bob and Jamestown? Yes? Percent? No?

00:40:38
Speaker 4: Five Who are the five percent?

00:40:42
Speaker 2: Mario? But there's a ladies of KSR facebook page who feel sorry for Mario and don't want him to have to do it, like my mom would have voted No, don't make Mario do that.

00:40:55
Speaker 6: Mario voted, So that's another no.

00:40:57
Speaker 2: Okay, wait a minute, there's some late moving votes ninety four to six, five hundred and fifty nine.

00:41:02
Speaker 4: Votes yet so still above the threshold.

00:41:08
Speaker 2: Ninety four is a still a huge amount, but there's still time. I don't want to. I don't want to prejudge. There's still some counties that come in. There's a dump vote coming in Fulton County, Georgia. Later.

00:41:18
Speaker 6: I didn't think this is a bad thing. I think she'd be excited.

00:41:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, how many people get the chance hand with Bob and Jamestown, Mario? Not that many people, And you can learn about it this is the top secrets. It is classified information. This has never been released.

00:41:31
Speaker 6: You could have witness history.

00:41:34
Speaker 2: Maybe we I'd like, I will like. I'm trying to think who I can get to go with you?

00:41:38
Speaker 1: Me?

00:41:38
Speaker 2: I'm volunteering, dude, the postgame show Saturday.

00:41:41
Speaker 6: That's right, I can do it from there.

00:41:43
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, in all honesty, if you want to go and do the postgame show from the Alien Convention in Bellbrook, Otis, I don't know. I'm I will. I will support that completely.

00:41:56
Speaker 6: I think people would want to hear about Tennessee on Saturday because I be locked into the baby. We're gonna Bob and Jamestown co host Will's returning.

00:42:05
Speaker 2: We'll be right back
