00:01:00
Speaker 4: Okys sor ry f I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven the text machine is seven seven two seven seven four five two five four. Everybody is ordering their food here, and I'm learning that there are more red lobsters. Got one in northern Kentucky. We got one in Richmond, We got one in Owensboro. The one in Hamburg is still open there.

00:01:17
Speaker 5: We go very good.

00:01:18
Speaker 4: So a lot of endless shrimp around the state. I'll tell you what they always say, if you want good shrimp, go to northern Kentucky, right there on the Ohio. All right, we got that Ohio River. It couldn't be nicer, right, that's what you want.

00:01:32
Speaker 5: Out of all of us. Isn't Shannon the biggest red lobster fan?

00:01:34
Speaker 3: Oh?

00:01:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, we went. Remember we went there once for him? Yes, for one of our things, right, Ryan or Shannon?

00:01:40
Speaker 3: Did we do that?

00:01:40
Speaker 6: Well?

00:01:40
Speaker 7: I remember you saying I'm gonna take you guys out to a really nice place red lobster.

00:01:45
Speaker 8: Yes, y'all make me want.

00:01:47
Speaker 5: I would sell are the cheddar biscuits, nuts of the best biscuits, biscuits.

00:01:52
Speaker 4: As a matter of fact, if they had red lobster in London, that'd be where I've eaten night. That's where That's where I would be eating eight five, nine, two, eight oh twenty two eighty seven person writes Matt if Kentucky were to get Tyron Stokes, it would be the biggest recruiting commitment since win Okay, So I'm like part of this for me is also hype okay, because like there are guys that were very highly ranked, but maybe we got them early in the process or I remember the Anthony Davis thing kind of came to fruition really quick, so it didn't really have a chance to get hyped. What do you think would be the last time the fan base would be this excited about I mean, is it John wall.

00:02:28
Speaker 5: I wonder can we say the Twins coming back?

00:02:32
Speaker 3: Now?

00:02:32
Speaker 4: That's a return. I think as a freshman, I would say that was huge.

00:02:40
Speaker 5: Yeah. Nelins announcing on national television on ESPN, I think it was.

00:02:45
Speaker 4: I think it's for certainly the biggest since Neuralins. I can't think of one bigger than that since Neuralans.

00:02:55
Speaker 8: I hope when he comes he's he's as good as everybody.

00:02:58
Speaker 4: Because I'm trying to think, what were the biggest in the history of UK sports? What are the biggest moments of fans waiting for a commitment and then it comes because like Anthony Davis kind of came out of it like it just happened.

00:03:11
Speaker 3: So let's go through history. Rex Chapman is a huge one.

00:03:15
Speaker 5: Maybe top of the list. Rex Chapman might be number one between Kentucky and Louisville.

00:03:20
Speaker 3: It one we didn't get was Ralph Sampson the whole country.

00:03:24
Speaker 5: Yes, but Rex Chapman, Tim Couch, huge announcement that night.

00:03:30
Speaker 3: That's a huge one.

00:03:31
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, Rex Chapman, Tim Couch, John Wall, Patrick Patterson.

00:03:38
Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure. We were ready to have a parade down Mayfea for Patrick Patterson and he was like, what ranked sixteenth in the country?

00:03:44
Speaker 4: Nelans? All right, So who else do you think is on that list? Those are the ones that stick out to me? Is there was there a Tubby.

00:03:51
Speaker 3: One that did that. I can't think of one though, where like everybody's waiting waiting, waiting for a guy like you know, like that great Tubby class of Crawford, Rondo, and Morris. They kind of came dispersed.

00:04:06
Speaker 5: Throughout the year, but didn't we stay on late to cover the Julius Randall announcement.

00:04:14
Speaker 4: Julius Randall was a big one, Yes, I mean Wiggins was a big one.

00:04:17
Speaker 3: We didn't get We stayed on late for him, so we stayed on late.

00:04:21
Speaker 4: Julius Randall, actually, I think I think I broke that one just during the show. I don't think it was an announcement like that. I mean, I think it's it would be the biggest since Irland's right.

00:04:34
Speaker 5: I can't think of another one if we're not gonna the twins, and Randall will be the only thing close to what we're looking for, I believe.

00:04:40
Speaker 3: I mean, Jamal Murray was a big one because it was very late in the process. Remember it was like in may or late may or something.

00:04:47
Speaker 5: But like you said, to have you include all the build up that we've had around Stokes now for months, it's been a long time.

00:04:52
Speaker 8: Has this been the longest that we've ever waited?

00:04:54
Speaker 4: Patterson and Lucas is the longest. Patterson and Lucas was an entire year of it, like a every day. That's that's the longest. I mean, Wall was huge, but it wasn't a long time because Kala just gotten here, yes, and so it was they got Cousins real quick, bled so real quick, and then Wall kind of was the last one.

00:05:16
Speaker 3: But then he came.

00:05:17
Speaker 5: Pretty quick cutting the followed col here from Memphis. Their commitment to Memphis, I feel.

00:05:23
Speaker 4: I mean, what about old days? I mean Rex is the one that sticks out. Was there another one in the old days?

00:05:28
Speaker 5: Well, you mentioned Ralph Sampson and we didn't get him, Sam Bowie.

00:05:32
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, Bowie feels like that was one people really cared about. Mashburn. I don't remember there being a huge build up to it, right.

00:05:40
Speaker 5: I don't remember a huge build up either.

00:05:42
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I mean this is it would certainly go in the record books. I think if he ends up, if he ends up taking it.

00:05:50
Speaker 5: How was the bowling last night? Yeah, a lot of fun on the night was kind of the last time. It's kind of the organizational night. You got to turn your teams in and then he got practice around. But everybody so excited. I mean, this is a fun event in the summer, This KSR Bowling League. They had like what I think twenty teams last night show up just for practice.

00:06:06
Speaker 4: Yeah, so KSR Bowling dot Com, get you signed up. We only have there's only a handful of teams left. But uh in the first real one is next week.

00:06:15
Speaker 5: The guy who's the really good bowler who bowls like almost three hundred every time? He was bowling left handed last night just for practice. He wasn't even voling right hand. He's voting left handed.

00:06:26
Speaker 3: Shan.

00:06:26
Speaker 4: Before we go back to phones, can I tell a story about my confrontation with my neighbor in louis Oh, yeah, yesterday. Yeah, I forgot about the all right, So you know in Louisville, I live next to all like the hippies and the Libs are everywhere right right, it's in. It's in like the area only hipster in the Highlands. Very and I like that because nobody really knows who I am.

00:06:49
Speaker 3: Everybody like leaves me alone. It's great.

00:06:52
Speaker 4: Last Friday night, I'm walking down the street. I'm going for a walk. I go downtown. I'm gonna eat at the one place. It's really good. It's like a Cuban place downtown. What's it called something day something Anyway, walk down there. As I'm leaving, I hear it, guy.

00:07:08
Speaker 3: Go Mark, pump sucks Mark. And I'm like, you know what, I don't care whatever, ignore it. It's time to go eat.

00:07:19
Speaker 5: I enjoy my walk, go for my walk.

00:07:22
Speaker 3: Blah blah, blah go.

00:07:24
Speaker 4: You know, I'm just thinking it's a Lituivi fan whatever, or maybe even someone that likes you that's just like wants to express is disdain for Mark Pop.

00:07:32
Speaker 5: Sure.

00:07:34
Speaker 3: Hour and a half two hours later, when I come back, I walk I passed the house. I'm about to get my house. Mat j outs mat j Outs can't get away from mad Sacks all right.

00:07:47
Speaker 4: Now this is the second time it's happened, and it's coming from a porch, all right. And I look up and there's like ten people on this porch. And so I'm sitting there thinking the right thing to do is to just go into my house. Yes, but there comes a point a person shouldn't just have to be yelled at in his neighborhood.

00:08:07
Speaker 3: Plus, I've lived there for a long time, almost twenty years.

00:08:12
Speaker 9: You thought he got seniority over these neighbors.

00:08:15
Speaker 3: There's got to be only one or two people there that have lived there longer than me. Right, See, you know what I was like, forget it? So I walk over there exactly. So I walk over.

00:08:26
Speaker 4: Now there's ten people on the bus, yes, all right, And I walk up and I go, what's your deal?

00:08:32
Speaker 3: Like, what are you doing?

00:08:34
Speaker 4: I'm just walking and he was like, oh man, you know, I'm just I'm just a cards fan, just giving you a hard time.

00:08:41
Speaker 3: And I was like, I don't know you, you don't just walk.

00:08:45
Speaker 4: I'm walking down the street, like just leave me alone, and he goes, well, I mean you think you're too good for this neighborhood. Oh what you think you're too good for the neighborhood.

00:08:58
Speaker 3: He's like, you don't ever want to hang out or talk to people here?

00:09:04
Speaker 9: You should say, yeah, that's true.

00:09:05
Speaker 4: And I was like, well, first of all, you've never asked me to hang out.

00:09:12
Speaker 3: Secondly, you screamed at me. Why would I want to hang out with you? You know, like, what is it that would make make you want?

00:09:19
Speaker 4: And so then Shannon it becomes this guy decides he's spokesman, and he's like, well, and he starts bringing up stuff that has nothing to do with that has nothing to do with it that He's like, one time you use that person's shovel. Remember I told that story. I had to use a shovel one time. So I looked at the person I said I did.

00:09:43
Speaker 3: I was like, I'm sorry if that upset you, and she said I could see her she was like, I don't care.

00:09:49
Speaker 5: Right, he was all the lady that owned the house with the shovels the she didn't care. She didn't care.

00:09:56
Speaker 4: So this guy just keeps going and he's like, you need be part of the neighborhood. He goes, you know, you don't come to the neighborhood meetings, and I'm like, I'm not coming to the neighborhood meetings. I was like, you guys, whatever you want to do is fine with me, very neighborly, I said, but look, you know there's a couple of choices. You can either like we could be friends, we could be nothing. But the one thing that's unacceptable is screaming at me from the street, right, ye am I wrong about that?

00:10:31
Speaker 3: You are a human being? Like and I said, he was like, well, you just think you're too You're better than everybody. I'm like, we've never spoken. What do you mean I think I'm better? Like you don't even know me, Like I haven't done anything that I'm just going my house. But you know, it was one of those things they think, like, I guess I'm supposed to go and talk to everybody. Yeah, So you know, I left and the rest of the people in the neighborhood were fine, but it was just this guy. It was just this guy.

00:11:00
Speaker 5: And I'm sure the other.

00:11:01
Speaker 4: People like at the end, at the end, the other people in the neighborhood, I like, go thanks, and people shake my hand and they say nice things.

00:11:08
Speaker 3: And then he reaches out his hand and I'm like, no, no, no, because you yelled at me.

00:11:18
Speaker 5: He was trying to pay me.

00:11:19
Speaker 4: Well, no he did. He never apologized. That was the thing. He acted like it was reasonable for him to yell at me. You know, he never like just to scream at me while I'm walking down the street.

00:11:30
Speaker 5: I love the fact that all the other neighbors were like taking a hand, playing at their head down all man, No, here's what.

00:11:34
Speaker 3: Here's what had happened.

00:11:36
Speaker 4: Over the years, they've probably talked and said that, you know, Matt, Matt Jones lives there. Oh, one time he took our shovel and used it and blah blah blah blah blah. And this guy, because he's a cards fan, yeah, doesn't like me, and then used it as a chance.

00:11:50
Speaker 3: The spokesman for the neighbor the group. So anyway, sorry, I was I was not happy when he shook his hand, stuck his hand out.

00:11:58
Speaker 4: I was like no, I was like, I'm not shaking your hand. But you didn't apologize. You yelled at me.

00:12:04
Speaker 5: You're just going to walk eat some Cuban food man.

00:12:07
Speaker 3: So, Shannon, yeah, you a lot to be friends with my neighbors, but like, why would I want to if they're yelling as I walk down the street.

00:12:15
Speaker 9: So you won't be baking on brownie as a peace offering.

00:12:17
Speaker 4: And I said, listen, I'd love to get to know you all, but I'm never gonna come to the meeting.

00:12:21
Speaker 7: So are you still gonna be in this Louisville and that you're still keeping that house?

00:12:24
Speaker 3: Even though I know I haven't decided this was a notch against it.

00:12:30
Speaker 9: Right there, here's a chance.

00:12:32
Speaker 3: This was a notch against keeping the Louisville house. Who's next, Let's go to Gary, Gary, Go ahead, Gary.

00:12:38
Speaker 10: Matt two quick things one with Tyrant Stokes. So you know, I think with the addition of Zoom Diallo, I've always assumed that was kind of a positive nail in the coffin. They played together, right, So I don't know, I've been positive since that Zoom Diallo commitment that helped us with tyrant strokes and then I love you ere comments on that in a second. And then the number two, if the five year eligibility rule gets passed, and since he hasn't entered the portal or didn't enter the portal, I should say, technically, could wait come back?

00:13:11
Speaker 3: A great question. I don't know.

00:13:12
Speaker 4: It's a great question, so for people who don't know. The president of the NCAAA said today, I appreciate the call that he is pushing to have the five for five rule implemented in May. When that happened the Trilly Donovan, that's that college basketball insider, he said, expect to see the portal completely freeze now for coaches to wait and see if seniors are going to be eligible. Now, Oway didn't enter the portal, But you do wonder Ryan, if they end up saying these seniors can get another year, do they kind of make an exception for those guys and say so ques. Number one is they could say they could come back. Number two is they could say they could come back and even if they didn't enter the portal, they'll give them a week to enter it or something. Yeah, And then number three is they would say no, it starts next year and it doesn't apply to any of you.

00:14:00
Speaker 5: You would think that they'd make that decision after the portal closes. They need to make some sort of concession.

00:14:04
Speaker 4: Yeah, And it would be interesting to see because all of a sudden Pope's misses, he might have a whole selection of new players to be able to go after and other schools wouldn't have spots or money for them.

00:14:17
Speaker 3: I mean, it almost could like work in his favor.

00:14:20
Speaker 4: You could almost have this moment where all of a sudden, you have the most money and there's this new selection of groceries and no one is there to compete with you. So that I actually think for the future of next season what the NCAA decides to do is kind of important, right.

00:14:38
Speaker 5: What if the brilliants of Mark Pope is he's been planning this for months, this is what's gonna happen.

00:14:43
Speaker 9: Give him way too much credits.

00:14:44
Speaker 4: I think it would be I think it would be a lot of luck. But it would be luck that we could use.

00:14:50
Speaker 5: Right, no doubt about it, especially if it's somebody like, oh, take it side, Well, I'm not that would immediately get people excited. Also, something like that, I mean if we have.

00:15:00
Speaker 4: No notion that he would want to do that. But what if all of a sudden, O taga Oway was just back for another year.

00:15:07
Speaker 8: I'd be pretty awesome.

00:15:08
Speaker 5: Maybe well I.

00:15:09
Speaker 3: Would have a different view about this team at that.

00:15:11
Speaker 5: Point, Oh we all? Would you add him to the team because you.

00:15:14
Speaker 3: Would now have two really good guards.

00:15:16
Speaker 8: And him, Maybe add Stokes with him.

00:15:19
Speaker 5: I don't know.

00:15:19
Speaker 3: Well, now you're getting crazy, But I do think it's interesting to think about if they do this five for five and they apply it retroact.

00:15:27
Speaker 4: Like Denzel Aberdeen is in the portal, assuming they're going to do this, yes, right, I can't It would seem to me the NCAA can't say, okay, now you get five for five and we're not gonna let you in.

00:15:40
Speaker 5: They have to.

00:15:41
Speaker 4: Don't think they would have to because like guys didn't think they had a chance to do.

00:15:46
Speaker 5: It right, make a concession like you said, maybe just open it up for a week for those guys.

00:15:50
Speaker 4: Like a week, because because the whole reason to close the portal is you want colleges to know what their roster is. But I don't think the reasoning to close it makes sense if they already thought those guys were gone anyway, then they might as well let them do.

00:16:04
Speaker 5: I agree, so we'll see.

00:16:06
Speaker 4: The best present you can get Mom for Mother's Day is your time and the memory of family getting together. And no chaylend of Farms is your perfect go to for that special family gathering, whether it's a Sunday afternoon.

00:18:58
Speaker 5: Just? You know, various people accuse us of horrible things.

00:19:02
Speaker 4: Oh you mean like like fans, Yes, so you're you're wanting them to feel bad. Maybe if he comes here. You all did have the first eyeballs on the scene.

00:19:14
Speaker 9: Now you can do double middle finger emojis.

00:19:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, those No, I mean listen.

00:19:19

00:19:31
Speaker 3: I hope it doesn't flip. The NFL Draft is tonight. Are you all love? Do you enjoy the NFL Draft? I do.

00:19:38
Speaker 5: I think the best story is that Francisco mendo for not know Mendoza is not even gonna be there. He's gonna be at his parents' house in Florida. So so he's be with his mom and then when he's the number one pick, I think.

00:19:48
Speaker 3: That's a great His mom not come.

00:19:50
Speaker 5: She's got multiple scrosses, I believe. Oh, well that's very I think she just had COVID so they don't want to get her out.

00:19:56
Speaker 4: Well that is very nice actually, so he could be with his mom. His mom seems like it seems like a good kid, seems like an awesome kid.

00:20:02
Speaker 5: I mean, before he went to Indiana, he learned every person on the roster's name is by face, Like he had him send him a roster. If you can memorize everybody's face and name? Really even got there?

00:20:13
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, I didn't know.

00:20:15
Speaker 5: So we could walk in the locker room like, hey, Matt. See, that's really good trait. That's a really good trait that I don't have. I can't remember people's names. Every bad with names. I'm really bad with names. And like said that that.

00:20:26
Speaker 4: I can see though that if your quarterback comes in and he remembers everybody's name, that is a cool that's a cool gesture.

00:20:31
Speaker 5: I think it speaks highly of him as a person, obviously.

00:20:34

I don't think it's I don't think it's particularly insightful, but if you just think of if this basketball season had gone the way, definitely Pope thal is going to go and a lot of us last summer and early fall, miss probably gets his deal and nobody says a word. I think if we if we make the Elite eights, or even probably if a final four, just a just a shot or two off from the final four, we probably have a roster floor right now, and we're hoping we get a summer for the Bahamas. Yeah, just a few games, just a few games being everything.

00:23:14
Speaker 4: Now, you're exactly right about that. That's a great point. I appreciate to call. You win a couple of games. You're good. Jeremiah Dickey was NCAA Athletic Director of the Year twenty twenty four to twenty five.

00:25:26
Speaker 4: I did an interview yesterday which will be out on the Interrupted feed with Kyle Tucker h formerly of The Athletic now twenty four to seven Sports. We talk about kind of the state of UK basketball and also tell a lot of old Cal Perry stories that are great. Kyle had ones I didn't even know. I think it's a really good interview for if you care about UK basketball, which clearly everybody here does. That's on the Interrupted feed today.

00:25:51
Speaker 5: It was a time when Cal close to both of you guys.

00:25:54
Speaker 4: Well, that's what we talk about, and we talk about both when we were close and how that worked and then what happened when we both got broken up.

00:25:59
Speaker 5: With what was his fallout about.

00:26:04
Speaker 3: Kyle criticized him, and like when you do that you're you know, you're out, but he's he uh.

00:26:11
Speaker 4: He said that when Gary one one tidbit, when Cow was at Memphis, Gary Parrish, you know Gary Parrish, he covered him and that Cow would do interviews with Gary Parrish. He would make him stand outside the shower. So Cow would be in the shower and he that was and he would and Gary would stand outside the shower and interview him.

00:26:34
Speaker 3: It's weird, strange.

00:26:38
Speaker 7: Strange is actually showering, He's not just standing in the Cal would be shower naked.

00:26:47
Speaker 3: I assume naked.

00:26:48
Speaker 4: I don't know how he showers, but he would be in the shower showering, and then Gary Parish would be outside the shower interviewing him.

00:26:58
Speaker 9: With a rubber ducky.

00:26:59
Speaker 3: What do you think about that?

00:27:00
Speaker 5: That is one of the most disrespectful things I've ever heard of. I can't believe Gary Parrish actually would stephen.

00:27:06
Speaker 3: But if that was the only time you could do it.

00:27:08
Speaker 5: My store the next day would be Cal wants me to stand outside the shower interview All.

00:27:14
Speaker 3: That is so weird. Yeah, so that was That's awful. Well, anyway, that interview will go up later this afternoon. Who's next? Joe Joe, go ahead, Joe.

00:27:25
Speaker 12: Hey, Matt, this is Derek Anderson's nephew want thank you again for last week. That was hilarious. Me and his nephew got a big kick out of that.

00:27:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, Derek was great.

00:27:35
Speaker 4: I mean, Derek Anderson was great on the interview, and I thought I thought his interview was was interesting.

00:27:41
Speaker 3: I thought he did an awesome job.

00:27:43
Speaker 8: My favorite part from that interview was when he was like, you can turn a dude. You can you can make your own dude. You guys talk about a lot about like having a dude, you can make a dude.

00:27:54
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:27:54
Speaker 4: I didn't know if I agree with him on that, but I do think it was interesting that he said that like that.

00:27:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, go ahead, sir.

00:28:01
Speaker 12: Yeah, absolutely, No, He's great always Gracis et cetera, shooting me his book, signed autograph card and stuff like it. It's a big running joke, man. I just really appreciate that moment. The last thing I wanted to say was, Matt, you've been screaming about the whole pr thing with Pope, and like, I don't think that that can be He talked about enough or almost seem to be a book written about it, because when you look at Danny Hurley and Will Wade, one guy that wins, one guy that really hasn't over the last couple of years, negative media attention or not, they address it, and surprisingly it goes away.

00:28:33
Speaker 3: Does everything goes away?

00:28:36
Speaker 4: We have a short attention span now in this country, for better or worse, and things go away if you address them. But when you don't keeps going, it keeps going. And like you know, you take the biggest scandal in the world, like think again, think about politics, think about all the stuff that Trump does. He when he addresses it goes away.

00:28:57
Speaker 3: But think about something that they don't address, like the Epstein files. It just lingers and lingers and lingers and gets bigger. If you just address it. People in this world just kind of move on because they move on to the next thing. So I'm with you on that, sir.

00:29:14
Speaker 12: Yeah, And you look, I mean he had but at a referee and like addressed it, and whether his answer was good or not, it went away. Like it just blows my mind. What like it's kind of wild. Wish you just get out there and talk about some of the stuff and we could all support him, like we all want to appreciate the call.

00:29:34
Speaker 5: I think there's a lot of truth to that, you know, because you've said it many times. If there's silence, we fill the void. It may not be what you want us to fill the void with, but we're gonna fill that void with something.

00:29:45
Speaker 11: Uh.

00:29:45
Speaker 4: One person wrote me, by the way, this is a good time, he said, Matt, I got a question for you.

00:29:52
Speaker 3: When is the election and who is running? You know, we do have an election.

00:29:58
Speaker 5: Here, midterm election coming up.

00:30:00
Speaker 3: Well, the primary is like when is it May?

00:30:04
Speaker 5: Something?

00:30:04
Speaker 3: It's in May? Yeah?

00:30:06
Speaker 4: What May nineteenth? Seventeenth? All right, so let's do a quiz. All right, May seventeenth, okay? Democratic? Or let's start with the easier one Republican primary. Three candidates?

Speaker 5: Lex Cas soccer goalie Amy.

00:30:57
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna come up with these other guys up.

00:31:18
Speaker 5: I don't know Charles Booker, Oh yes.

00:31:21

00:31:30
Speaker 5: I don't know. I think I should know this.

00:31:32
Speaker 3: Anybody know Dale Romans.

00:31:36
Speaker 5: I've heard of him, the horse train, the horse guy. I didn't know he was running, to be honest, first, I'm hearing about it. I haven't seen he sign anywhere in my yard.

00:31:43
Speaker 3: We haven't seen Shannon as many Amy McGrath's the commercials this time.

00:31:46
Speaker 9: I haven't seen Harley any at all.

00:31:48
Speaker 4: I haven't seen The only thing I ever see is is woke Nate Morris and Andy barrs is.

00:31:53
Speaker 9: Back over and over of her commercials over the years. I know she's a fighter pilot. I mean really that.

00:32:01
Speaker 3: She's a mother and a fire fire and Alex Cat's soccer goalie.

00:32:05
Speaker 5: She was a Lex CAATs soccer goal I believe I saw that commercials.

00:32:08
Speaker 4: But by the way, there's still a month left, so just be ready. There will be more ads.

00:32:12
Speaker 5: But you're right, just Andy Barr and Nate Morris, those are the ones that are just over and so I've not seen one. Daniel Cameron ad not one.

00:32:19

00:32:27
Speaker 9: Every shows up and sees your name on there.

00:32:29
Speaker 3: But what if it works? Like, what if it works? What if everybody they're like these other two people will not stop. I'm gonna just vote for the other guys.

00:32:36
Speaker 4: I'm gonna vote for the other guy because he's not on my television all the time.

00:32:40

00:32:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like it. I do not show up on your YouTube.

Speaker 3: Let's go put me on the hot seat.

00:34:32
Speaker 8: Okay.

Speaker 6: So what are some songs that you love but you would never admit to?

00:34:38
Speaker 3: Well, I admit to most of them.

00:34:40
Speaker 4: I think the song that is the least manly that I like is if Party in the USA comes on, I will sing and dance in my car and I'm a big Miley Cyrus Party in.

00:34:53
Speaker 3: The USA fan.

00:34:54
Speaker 8: That's a good one.

00:34:55
Speaker 6: I sang that for the third grade Idol.

00:34:57
Speaker 3: But that was.

00:35:00
Speaker 4: My goal in music is to get songs that they sing in third grade Idol.

00:35:04
Speaker 3: So I thank you. Kelly. All Right, what's the next one?

00:35:06
Speaker 6: If any animal could call into the show, which one would you pick?

00:35:11
Speaker 3: And watch if an animal could call into the show?

00:35:14
Speaker 8: Yep?

00:35:15
Speaker 4: Have you heard of Bob and Jamestown? I don't think, Okay, because he's kind of like an animal.

00:35:22
Speaker 3: That's a good question. I'd be interested probably in turtles.

00:35:25
Speaker 4: They live a long time, and I'd like to know what they've seen in their long existence because they've they've probably seen a lot.

00:35:32
Speaker 6: Okay, good answer.

00:35:33
Speaker 3: What an interesting question is off the walk is okay?

00:35:37
Speaker 6: What is one conspiracy theory that you almost believed for fun?

00:35:42
Speaker 4: Okay? Well, this is one. We've got to have Ryan and Shannon in on what is a conspiracy that I believe for fun? See, I'm the wrong person to ask because I tend to not believe in conspiracy theories. Ryan, what's the conspiracy theory you believe it?

00:35:59
Speaker 5: I'm not against Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone. I think that conspiracy theory has been out there forever. I'm out of pride.

00:36:06
Speaker 3: So who do you think did it?

00:36:07
Speaker 5: A bunch of people, the mob, the mafia, the mob and the mafiaah Cia, all of them, all the initials.

00:36:15
Speaker 3: It's a lot of people to do it, and you think they were in it?

00:36:17
Speaker 5: Today he was the scapegoat Okay, what about you share.

00:36:20
Speaker 7: The aliens exist, the government knows about it, they won't tell us.

00:36:23
Speaker 4: So you think there are aliens in the government just will not tell Yes, okay, yeah, I'm going to say that they're It's not really a conspiracy theory, but I think we do a lot of things around the world, like have people killed and and things that we don't acknowledge, and so that I don't know if that's conspiracy theory, but I think it's probably correct.

00:36:46
Speaker 5: Right.

00:36:47
Speaker 3: What's the next one?

00:36:48
Speaker 6: What is a word that you almost always mispronounced on air?

00:36:54
Speaker 4: Well, I mean they would say Tennessee TV halloween Halloween.

00:37:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, Ryan, that's every word for you.

00:37:04
Speaker 5: Yeah, I have trouble with any word, Matt, definitely is tennessee Tennessee.

00:37:10
Speaker 3: How do you say the state of the volunteers tennessee See? You do it Tennessee? I do Tennessee like the emphasis on the tin Tennessee.

00:37:22
Speaker 6: Ye. Yeah, oh, okay, No, that's probably wrong.

00:37:26
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, Cali, Cali really on the hot seat? All right, Mike Walla's go ahead.

00:37:32
Speaker 6: Would you rather sneeze every time you go live or hiccup every sentence?

00:37:40
Speaker 3: I'd rather sneeze.

00:37:42
Speaker 4: I actually think a sneeze is a pleasurable thing, don't you like it? Actually like a sneeze kind of it brings a good feeling, and it.

00:37:53
Speaker 6: Could be something you're known for every Yeah.

00:37:55
Speaker 4: I'm known as the sneeze guye hiccups are just annoying. I find hiccuts, So I'm much to sneeze, and.

00:38:00
Speaker 5: A hiccup could be kind of gross if you're doing it every sentence.

00:38:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, But but a sneeze it's almost I don't know, there's like a.

00:38:07
Speaker 13: Satisfying Sometimes it's a little bit messed up to And I always sneeze in pairs. I can never sneeze once. I always sneeze. Was really yeah, and all right?

00:38:19
Speaker 6: What more would you rather interview someone who answers only in whispers or screams at the top of their lungs.

00:38:28
Speaker 5: That's a good question for you.

00:38:31
Speaker 4: As someone that's very loud, I think I'd rather them whisper. I think I've told this before. There was a guy in Bell County who when he talks, he would say a sentence and then he would whisper it. So he would go, let's go out and get some lunch.

00:38:46
Speaker 5: Let's go out and get some lunch.

00:38:47
Speaker 4: And I always liked him because he would just say the same thing again as a whisper.

00:38:52
Speaker 3: I think I would enjoy that.

00:38:54
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely for you. You want the whisper, not somebody screaming at you, because you're just gonna try to scream over the top of them.

00:38:59
Speaker 3: It's just gonna get out louder and louder louder.

00:39:01
Speaker 4: All right, well, good, well, Cally, I tell you what, that's a great job. Everybody give her out of applause on the hot seat with CALLI.

00:39:08
Speaker 5: Good job.

00:39:08
Speaker 4: We're gonna have you sit with us here for the last couple of minutes. All right, Okay, you could just chime in if you need to. All right, who's up next?

00:39:16
Speaker 9: Let's go to free Bird, Free Bird.

00:39:17
Speaker 12: Go ahead.

00:39:21
Speaker 14: Hey guys, I was listening to the ACC Network the other night when Louisville and Kentuntry with playing baseball. I don't remember the guy's names, but man, there's some fantastic announcers, and they were talking about I think a couple of players from each team, Tyler Bell being one for us, and I forgot the guy from Louisville, but they used the term recruiting coordinator. So is that the same thing as we're trying to get a GM general?

00:39:45
Speaker 3: Man?

00:39:46
Speaker 4: I think so every sport uses it differently, So a recruiting coordinator can be the same as a GM.

00:39:54
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:39:56
Speaker 14: Well they acted like they knew what they were saying because all these face ball teams they went to quite a bit of them, and you know, they're fitting their style. You know, Min Jones getting his style of players from a lot of different places. And so is Louisville's coach, which very highly respectful, did a great job. Not a Louisville fan, but I respect that baseball program. It's just seeing baseball is kind of going a whole lot smoother. Is a top of players these coaches want to get some of these other programs.

00:40:23
Speaker 3: That's hitting it wrong.

00:40:25
Speaker 4: That's probably correct. I appreciate the call. Cali, do you think Mark Pope needs.

00:40:30
Speaker 3: To hire a GM.

00:40:32
Speaker 6: I think that he can do whatever he feels is right.

00:40:36
Speaker 3: For is your name CALLI Barnhardt.

00:40:39
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, But as long as whatever he feels is right for the program, I mean.

00:40:46
