But not yet, not yet because I haven't opened it yet.

00:00:56
Speaker 5: Got I got some talking to dude.

00:00:57
Speaker 4: We have tights Monday, Monday after UK game in Super Bowl, so we'll We'll get to that later. A Vision Auto glass text machine is seven seven two seven seven four five two five four in this edition sponsored by the TJ. Smith loves if you called TJ, He'll make them pay, all right, So guys, let's just start with this. Should we start UK South Carolina or Super Bowl? I will let the three of you decide which of those two topics we do first. It's up to you. So so Ryan, you do the first.

00:01:25
Speaker 5: Folks, Well, but we're getting ready, I said, man, that South Carolina game seems like it was a month ago.

00:01:29
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna go super Bowl. You're gonna go super Bowl? I Shandon, would you like to start UK? South Carolina or Super Bowl?

00:01:34
Speaker 2: I think the super Bowl was an absolute dud. I think we should start Kentucky South Carolina.

00:01:38
Speaker 4: All right, So the Drea that means it all comes down to you. You have to decide which one you want to start with. You you're radio pro, what do you think that's the way? Man?

00:01:46
Speaker 6: I love both of these events, but I think the super Bowl is still fresh. I mean it hadn't been a full day so since it happened. So let's just keep riding that wave while it's on everyone's mind.

00:01:55
Speaker 4: So we're gonna do the Super Bowl to UK South Carolina. Here's the thing about the Super Bowl. I think we can all agree the game was boring. So because the game was boring, I don't have a lot of game thoughts. I'll give a couple quick ones. It was it was nice to see that Patrick Mahomes is a human you know, like I mean, it's always felt like he would win every game for the rest of time. He'd won seventeen straight one score games. I guess that's still true because this wasn't a one score game. They got absolutely blown out. He looked, he looked like you out there, right, And maybe it was nice to see that he's he's a human being and we don't have to act like he's made of magic anymore.

00:02:35
Speaker 5: They could not get a first down on the first half. They couldn't get past midfield the first half. It was amazing to watch that the offense struggle the way it did.

00:02:42
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've always wondered what Mahomes would look like if he played for the Titans, and that was it. I mean that offensive line. I mean, he wasn't good. The interceptions were bad, but he had no chance that Eagles front four. I think should have just shared the MVP award. They dominated them from the very beginning. That was actually very impressive to watch against the team. It's so good on Sunday mornings.

00:03:01
Speaker 4: You know, we have her Edwards every week, and I've decided her Edwards is kind of becoming like the uh, the older black uncle that I never had. He's my ESPN's right, like, I love her, like we for someone I've only met in person one time. I feel like we're good friends. And every time he comes on during the breaks, he gives me like life advice. You'll be like, watch out for them ladies. They'll take your wallet and they'll smile, and then you'll be like, where's my wallet? And then I don't know what that means, and I'll go, Okay, her, that makes sense to me, he said. When he came on our show on Sunday, he was like, here's the only thing to watch, Matt. He goes, you'll be a football expert if you listen to this. First two possessions, the Chiefs get if the Eagles can rush forward and get to him. Game over, Eagles blowout, if we're they're able to protect and the Eagles have to send the blitz, Chiefs win blowout. He was like, that's the game. Just see if the Eagles front four can get to him without blitzing. And then they did it and he nailed it and it was a blowout. He called it, and so I feel like now he's magic, yeah, instead of instead of my homes. That was a good pick.

00:04:08
Speaker 6: And even like people that believe that Chiefs have come back magic, it was so dominant.

00:04:12
Speaker 4: I mean it was over early.

00:04:13
Speaker 6: I mean really, if they don't get that flag, it could have been fourteen oh early, and it's really putting them away. I just I knew the Eagles had a good shot. I mean he was one point spread. But to win it like that and to not even really use Saquon that much, I know he don't have that big Yeah, absolutely nuts that that was how it played out.

00:04:29
Speaker 4: It was it was I stopped watching it halftime. I can't remember last time. I haven't watched the second half of Super I didn't watch this because it was it was over, Like what was the point, you know, and I wasn't gonna watch TV four commercials. I had thirty bets in so I was pretty entertained. You did thirty bets?

00:04:44
Speaker 6: Yes on DraftKings, Yes, so were you have a spreadsheet with their odds?

00:04:47
Speaker 4: But I paid? But Sophie, were you over all up or down?

00:04:50
Speaker 6: Where's it's? Actually? This is a wild ride. When the fourth quarter started, oh for thirty was on the table. Oh wow, I won too, And then I h a parlay. My Titans parlay fifteen to one with a minute to go, with several hundred dollars in bets, I think I lost three dollars. So I tell that all because Hopkins caught that touchdown. But I mean it was that it keeps you entertained when you make that many. All that, and you could have just given me three dollars. I wasted a Sunday building the spreadsheet. But shout out to the Titans.

00:05:19
Speaker 4: Play you have fun. You gotta have fun, all right? So so the game we can all agree, dud, So you gotta talk about it, you know, ultimately, the super bowls about all the other stuff, correct, who there's no sporting event that I actually care less about the game than the Super Bowl. I care about all the other things. So I wrote down the things I want to talk about in order. Let's start with, Uh, the America the Beautiful, and the national anthem, America the Beautiful, I am a strong believer should be our national anthem. It's better than the national anthem. Do you agree with that?

00:05:49
Speaker 5: It kind of stirs up some feelings inside you, doesn't it.

00:05:52
Speaker 4: It's just better, it's better, And if you think about it, it's just about it's the oh beautiful for spacious skies. Waves of grain, come on, I'm in right there in they bring out trombone Shorty. First of all, I like to live in a country where there's a guy called trombone. I gotta tell you, Shannon, when his parents named him trombone shorty, they better be happy he played the trombone, that's right. Yeah, what if he wanted to play the clarinet? What happens? Then?

00:06:21
Speaker 2: I feel like that you've already been predetermined what you're gonna do at that point.

00:06:25
Speaker 4: Dust And I never heard of him? Did you know who he was? Still don't know who he is? What do you mean you still don't know who he is?

00:06:31
Speaker 5: He was on the thing, Yeah, but I know nothing about him?

00:06:33
Speaker 4: Okay, but you saw it? Yeah, all right? Who is? You know who he is? Now?

00:06:37
Speaker 5: I don't know his history?

00:06:38
Speaker 4: Then I should say, well, I mean, I don't know his background. I'm just saying he he brought out the trombone and he did the whole New Orleans thing. I thought it was really good. It was kind of remind me it's not as good as the Marvin Gay one. But I like Drew. He did his own He and that woman I don't know the woman's name, but they did their own unique thing and I really liked it. Did you like Trombone Shorty? He did.

00:06:59
Speaker 6: Also, he's a New Orleans guy. I like the New Orleans flair. That's such a fun city in a great place to hold the event. I like that they worked him into it.

00:07:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, you gotta like a good And by the way, he's gonna be at Bourbon Beyond Shit. He's part of He's part of Bourbon to Media. So now I'm gonna go see Trombone Shorty. Unfortunately, when you play next to a guy named Trombone Shorty, I'm gonna forget the other person's next true what was her name, Laurels Ingles Wilder that I don't think that was it slipping my mind.

00:07:25
Speaker 6: I played trombone, so Trombone Shorty was kind of out there reperend Trombone. I don't think I knew the second chair at Browning Springs Middle School. I took the track first chair. Nick Jones was good man. Nick Jones was tough, but no, he was out there living my seventh grade dream.

00:07:39
Speaker 4: Yeah. But the the woman is she a Christian singer? I don't know. But they were good. I like their whole thing. Then they have Harry Connick. I think there's a rule that when you go to New Orleans you have to have Harry connic. If you don't have Harry Connick, then you're not even in New Orleans. They bring him out. They just walked master P out, but he didn't do anything, did he? You know what said? You were just like, there's Master p. I love when they bring the HBCU bands. Right, you're dancing, and but Harry Connick, he's just sitting there praying. Every year, can they do something in New Orleans so I can get back on TV. Shanton Harry Connick, no person is on TV more with the city than.

00:08:17
Speaker 2: They had him away and they roll him out anytime there's an event like that.

00:08:20
Speaker 4: By the way, he still looks like he did thirty five.

00:08:24
Speaker 5: Years as an age to day has he?

00:08:26
Speaker 7: You know?

00:08:26
Speaker 4: And he what were the movie? He was a movie star for all he was? What movie was he? Well, first, let's not forget he was on Hay Kentucky with Matt Jones. The Derby was I think when I interviewed him in my purple suit, Yeah, we're a Derby and uh, I completely forgot it looked just like he does now. That dude doesn't age. He does not age. But he was like was he an Independence Day?

00:08:49
Speaker 5: Not sure?

00:08:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was.

00:08:51
Speaker 5: For a long time.

00:08:52
Speaker 4: He was in a movie where it was a horror movie and he was like the surprising horror movie guy. I think it was maybe White Yoakum was in that movie too. Is there a movie called Panic Room? There is a Panic Room that's got a I think it has Dwight Yoakum. No, maybe not Harry Connick Jr. But he's in a He's in a movie where he's like a serial killer or something like that. Anyway, it was nice to see him again. The national anthem? Did you like the National Anthem? I did? Who was it?

00:09:23
Speaker 5: Jean Peptiste, Yeah, I've heard of that guy. I wouldn't know anything he's he sings, but I've heard of him.

00:09:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, so so he was he was, he was good. Uh. They put Trump on during that That was a good time to put him on because she can't poot the national anth true, right, So he got he got, he got cheated. Well no, I mean that's actually if you were gonna put a president on, you should put him on during the national Yes, and that was good and he was like saluting. Uh, they showed Taylor Swift the crowd, I think because she's the chiefs person that didn't go really no, and they didn't put her on during the national She didn't. I would have said, put me on during the national anthem, and they didn't do. Grew up diehard Eagles and flip. That's a pretty easy boo for Philly fans.

00:10:03
Speaker 6: Oh, I didn't know she was a diehard Eagles fan. Yes, she grew up her and her dad wearing Eagles gear. So that was a that was an easy boo for the Philly people in New Orleans.

00:10:11
Speaker 4: Score bug? Why on the Super Bowl did they decide to debut a new score bug that looks like it was made on an atari in nineteen eighty four? Why did they do that?

00:10:24
Speaker 5: You know, somewhere all the people that have eyes on that. I can't believe somebody let that slide, Like, hey man, maybe we need to tweak this a little bit. This is not very good because they had to get approve left to prove left or a brow. I thought their old one was good. Why did they switch it now?

00:10:37
Speaker 4: Somebody said that maybe the reason is they did it to work on cell phone screens, that more and more people are watching the game, like on their cell phone, and it packed in and looked better on the cell phone screen. And I have no idea if that's true. But otherwise it was awful. Don't debut new things at the Super Bowl.

00:10:57
Speaker 6: I didn't mind how they took away some clutter. Defont was just really big. Maybe you take the funt down a little bit. I was all right with it being kind of transparent around the stuff, but it was it was a lot different.

00:11:07
Speaker 4: I just felt like I was watching tech mobile. I wanted to watch the you know, it feels like modern, and that was not modern. Uh the commercials. I only got through the first half, so if there were ones in the second half, I couldn't get the ones that stuck out to me. They redid when Harry met Sally, that was a big hit. I Shannon, you and Billy didn't know what Harry meant.

00:11:28
Speaker 3: Sally, I know what it is. I've never seen the movie, so I didn't really get the reference.

00:11:32
Speaker 4: That's crazy to I mean, Billy I get because he's younger. But Shannon, Harry met Sally like that was when I was six, No, no, and you were six and eighty nine. Yeah, don't watch it. I thought everybody knew though. That scene, that's the famous scene where she's like doing the thing and in the restaurant. I guess they.

00:11:54
Speaker 5: Never heard that, and the old lady says, I want what she's having.

00:11:57
Speaker 4: Sydney Sweeney in that was a good way to switch it. Those at four? What was the commercial? Four? Mayonnaise?

00:12:05
Speaker 5: That's right, mayonnaise, that's right.

00:12:07
Speaker 4: I don't know what that had to do with mayonnaise, but I think it was mayonnaise. What other conver commercial stuck out besides answer?

00:12:15
Speaker 6: There was one that spoke to me because it was Little Caesar's and Eyebrows. It was the Eugene Levey where his eyebrows go off his head and fly around planning on random things.

00:12:24
Speaker 4: I love Little Caesars. I just felt like that was tailored to me. Shit, and I'm with you. The Seal is a seal thing was kind of strange and it made me remember that Seal existed. Yeah, I haven't seen him.

00:12:36
Speaker 2: I looked up and saw Seal's face on a seal. I thought I'd overdosed on gummies again. But I was like, man, what a what a strange commercial?

00:12:43
Speaker 4: That was seal on a seal? That's yeah. Oh.

00:12:46
Speaker 5: Even Dream mentioned the flying eyebrows with a flying mustache for the Pringles commercial. I really enjoyed the breast cancer commercial because it showed boobs for like thirty seconds.

00:12:58
Speaker 4: We've had conversations about this. That was my favorite. You are a grown man, like even Mario, did you turn the camera, turned the camera off and walked away. I'm not using that one, Mark. I mean, Mario is twenty five and even he knows. It's also the messaging in that one, that's a serious message caught my attention. All right. Back to what we were talking about.

00:13:26
Speaker 5: What do you think of the last Well, we may have not seen it. You didn't watch second have David Beckham and Matt Damon. That was a good commercial.

00:13:32
Speaker 4: Duncan Donuts. How did Bill Belichick's girlfriend get in the car. No kidding, I mean, like unbelievable to me. This woman who whose name I don't even know. Do you know her name? Do you know her name? Show?

00:13:45
Speaker 3: I have no idea that she's got to get.

00:13:47
Speaker 4: Her name out there because if they're not going to stay together forever, she's got to get her name out there. Because I don't know what her name is. But when that commercial came out, I was like, how did she get into commercial? Do you think Belichick said, let's her in?

00:14:01
Speaker 3: Like man's got a lot of power, he can just say put her in.

00:14:04
Speaker 4: The bowing to me that she ended up in the commercial, like that's like a picture you take it a friend's wedding and then you might get to like not date anymore twenty years later and you're like, oh, this is a picture of all my friends on their wedding day, and this person's in it too. I wonder if that's gonna happen, Like he's gonna be ninety, he's gonna be like, she ruined my Dunkin Donuts commercial.

00:14:24
Speaker 6: I don't know that she's ruining much for Bill. Just credit to them for knowing what's topical. I mean They're one of the biggest stories outside of the actual game in the last couple of weeks, and they got on.

00:14:32
Speaker 4: It to it. I can't believe she and she got on the commercial.

00:14:35
Speaker 2: I can't well, I think Bill could probably just say, Hey, if you don't put her in there, then I'm not gonna do the commercial.

00:14:40
Speaker 3: Like I said, the guy's got some power at this.

00:14:42
Speaker 4: Point, I credit to her. I mean she has gone from meets old man on plane to dating him to now beaming commercials. Her next step, though, is she's got to make it to where we know her name, because none of us know her name right now.

00:15:00
Speaker 2: I just looked it up. Do you want to know her name or do you want to know Bill Belichick? Jordan Hudson.

00:15:06
Speaker 4: Jordan Hudson, I got the first letter. Well, I don't know if I'm to remember that. I think I'm just gonna keep in saying, Bill bell I could not believe she was on that commercial.

00:15:14
Speaker 5: I'm Drew and Shannon. I think it was a boss move by Bilichick probably said yeah, you can have me, but you also want you gotta have her too. Yeah, he knows the controversy around it. He's like, you know what, I don't care.

00:15:26
Speaker 4: He doesn't seem to care about it at all since he put her in the thing. Any other commercials.

00:15:31
Speaker 6: I liked Matthew McConaughey and the uber eats. When he's like trying to name the bills, He's like, Buffalo Bill, we need a team name, and its does stuff like that. But I noticed, I don't know that there was a single commercial without a celebrity. I get why they do it, but it's like everyone like, all right, he's in the movie.

00:15:45
Speaker 4: And there were celebrities that I kind of forgot existed, Like there's Willem Dafoe, like he's in a c I think he was in a pickleball commercial. And uh, it seems like the whole cast of Shift's Creek Careful how I say that they were in like commercials the whole night? Did that show retroactively become the biggest show of all time?

00:16:07
Speaker 6: I felt like they were in like the first four consecutively too. I thought they had completely taken it over right away, but it just showed. I mean there's I mean, they're all fine, but it used to be a little more clever rioting. Now it's like how much can we pay Tom cruise to talk about this or that. I did like Shane Gillis and all the bud Light stuff.

00:16:23
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know if I saw that, but well, so that was good and we did we need it. We still got to talk about halftime show. We had a Commercialnis, We'll talk about UK old Miss No More Run. We're gonna take a break eight five nine, twenty two eighty seven. This is ks Hummer Seal. I really Shannon didn't know Seal was still alive. I mean, I didn't think he was dead, but I just hadn't thought about him. When's the last time you had thought about.

00:16:51
Speaker 3: Seal twenty five thirty years ago?

00:16:54
Speaker 4: Maybe? Yeah.

00:16:54
Speaker 3: Back in the nineties, man, he was everything was huge.

00:16:57
Speaker 4: Kiss from a Rose was one of the biggest songs.

00:16:59
Speaker 3: One of my favorite songs in the nineties.

00:17:01
Speaker 4: Oh you really liked that song. I love this so I've seen you as a kiss from Morose.

00:17:06
Speaker 2: I was telling Billy, you know, because everybody was calling me a boomer, and I go, I'm such a boomer that back in the day, you know, you had to like wait for the radio to play the song and try to catch it on your cassette tape.

00:17:15
Speaker 3: I had to do that with Kiss from a Rose.

00:17:17
Speaker 4: I get that. With the Knoxville Pop station Top nine at nine, I would get it and get I would put the cassette in and try to hit records, try to get smells like teen spirit on it or whatever.

00:17:28
Speaker 3: You'd always missed the first few seconds.

00:17:29
Speaker 4: Always do it, but then when you got it, you felt like you've really done something. The movie Drew was copycat the Harry Cottage June. He's great in that, like he's really scary in it. But he looks the same now as he did in that movie. Honestly, Yeah, you can go back like twenty years. That dude just has an age. He just says an age and Mike, everybody's mother what loved Harry? Oh? Yes, like everyone's mother. I don't care who you are out there, Mario. You don't know this. Your mother loved Harry Cotta Juniors. Bet she did. You ask, she'll say that white boy got moves you wait and see. I'm telling you the the everybody loves here. Everybody's mom loves her.

00:18:09
Speaker 6: To your point, I watched the first half of my parents' house. My mom wasn't really saying much like, oh, Harry.

00:18:13
Speaker 4: Connick is on Everybody's Mom Loves Harry Connick Junior. It's just, it's just, it's just what it is. One person, writes Matt Taylor Swift would have gotten booed at any point. People don't like Taylor Swift, stop it. Lots of people do. Matter of fact, she made more money than anyone on the earth with her tour. I think people like they it's I didn't realize she was an Eagles fan. Plus, it's you know, the super Bowl got all these dudes, it's a woman, there's Philly, it's Philly. It's yeah, Philly's.

00:18:43
Speaker 6: Gonna boot they boots Santa. So I mean, of course they're gonna That's why she was laughing. She knew exactly what they were doing.

00:18:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, So then you get to the halftime show. Twenty seconds into the halftime show, Drew, I knew. I was like, well, Fox News has its content for the next two weeks. Like, you just knew this is gonna be something that's gonna make people mad. Well I thought about the halftime show was I realized that even though I've heard of Kendrick Lamar for fifteen years, I didn't know any of his songs. I mean, I know the one song, Yeah, they not like Us, They not like us. But then I guess the other songs were his great hits and I didn't know any of them, which made me realize Kendrick Lamar might be the most famous artist that I don't know that any of the music he does got a lot of Grammys, got a lot of Pulitzers. Did you know those songs? Like you like Kendrick?

00:19:33
Speaker 6: He left off a few, I like, I don't think he did swimming Pools or Don't Kill My Vibe going way back?

00:19:39
Speaker 4: Do you recognize humble? Be humble? And recognize any of humble? The only one I knew was the they, you know, the the big song that's been out recently.

00:19:48
Speaker 6: I'm pretty familiar with his catalog, but it was all about the one song last night. It was all about not like Us.

00:19:53
Speaker 4: So as I was watching it, I was like, oh, there's the American flag. Was able to figure that out. I was like, Samuel L. Jackson, his uncle Sam. That's interesting. I don't know why that's happening. Then I became convinced I had seen Serena Williams. Yeah, you know, so that was an interesting moment. Because I was like, I know that Serena Williams. But they didn't seem that Shannon. They didn't seem to act like it was Serena Williams, Like she was only on the screen for like two or three seconds. It was it was her. I thought it was her. What are you talking about, Shannon.

00:20:30
Speaker 2: Are you talking about on the screen? Okay, I thought you were talking about like the performer.

00:20:34
Speaker 4: No, Serena was dancing on she was part of the performance.

00:20:39
Speaker 3: Well, maybe I guess I'm that then, Okay.

00:20:45
Speaker 4: It Williams. That was the highlight. That was the whole thing, is that she was. That's classic Shannon making fun and he's not even right Serena. They she was crip walking in the in the thing, and I when I saw her, I was like, that's Serena Williams. But then they cut off of her and I thought, well, that couldn't have been her. They would have kept the camera on her longer. But it was I.

00:21:07
Speaker 5: You know, they always have special guests. I think when they I thought when they showed her, then the other guests were gonna start coming out because she was like the intro.

00:21:15
Speaker 4: But then they only kept the camera on her for like a second two seconds, So I thought, man, you bring Serena Williams and then you just like act like she's barely there. That was kind of weird.

00:21:24
Speaker 6: Just to subtle nod, that was the uh she was dancing on Drake's grave. So a little background, Drake used to be obsessed with Serena Williams, like he basically stalked her, and then Kendrick just.

00:21:34
Speaker 4: Another dig on Drake. Drake love Serena.

00:21:38
Speaker 7: Oh, I didn't know that's that was the That was the last I think that was the kill shot on the beef with with Drake was a the super Bowl performance, after Kendrick said He's gonna do the super Bowl and then bringing out Drake's crush of.

00:21:51
Speaker 4: Many years to dance on him. So then Kendrick like does this thing whatever, it's over you get on social media, it's just people just ah. Basically, if you're over thirty five, chances are very high you were like I hate this. If you were under thirty five, it seems like chances are high you liked it, although there are some people that didn't. But I feel like we have a version of this conversation every year Drew, which is like if you're my age, it's not for you, like they're not gonna bring generations have to understand the music that's popular now is never for you. I always say to older people, you remember how your parents were like Elvis is the devil, the Rolling Stones are the devil, right, Like that's how it works. And then when we were young, people are like, oh, this Snoop Dogg and this and this. I remember my grandmother telling me turn off Nirvana. They're whining like like, it's just that's what happens. And now we're the age where we say, eh, this is hammible, but that's what it's It's supposed to be for young people. It's not supposed to be for us.

00:22:55
Speaker 6: That was wildly the most popular song of the year last year and just won the Grammy. So it's hard to argue that no one would like that when it's for us.

00:23:03
Speaker 4: It's not targeted for us. So when I see, like, you know, the kind of people that yell at me on Twitter like it's not for you. And guess what, the super Bowl is never gonna be for you. We're old now, it's for them. You had Harry Connick everyone, Yeah, that's well, we get we get Harry Cotton. TJ. Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ. He'll make them pay.

00:23:24
Speaker 2: No more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.

00:23:28
Speaker 3: Here's Matt Jones.

00:23:29
Speaker 4: I mean it is a good like. I don't care so much about the beef between him and Drake, although it does seem like he won because I mean, I don't want to say poor Drake because he may not even be a good guy. But like when they're singing the song about you at the super Bowl, you know it's got whoa you know, then the crowd spelled out game over and lights. Yeah, I mean the crowds spelled out game over. Like if I were Drake, I just take two or three years and just be like, I take some time, I'm off, you know, maybe come back in a couple of years. Maybe people will have moved on, because like, you don't want you don't want that, do you?

00:24:08
Speaker 6: And everybody, I mean, Lebron was his boy, he's turned on him, he's been dancing with Kendrick. I mean, everybody has flipped on Drake.

00:24:14
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it seems like it seems like a pretty bad, a bad thing to do. Okay, so you all Ryan, You're not a reader, not at all. I'm a reader. I've read six books already this year. I have to start my seventh. I've really got I've always been a reader, but I've really gotten back into It's a good. Uh, it's a good. Matter of fact, I just finished a book called Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, which I do recommend. I read a book two weeks ago named Martyr M. A. R. T Wier, highly recommend to everybody. Great book. Put that to the side. Sometimes you read a book and like, you read it and you go wow, blah blah blah blah blah, and you like it for whatever reason you like. But then you read like a review of it and you go, oh, they saw lot of stuff that I didn't see, Like do you like that though? And somebody something I think it's interesting. I am not an artist, right, like, so I don't draw or paint, so like there's a way artists think, like about symbolism and stuff that I don't get always, you know what I mean, It's just not how my brain is workd. So like I see a painting and I see a man with a whale, and I go, there's a man in a whale. That's cool, and then they'll be like, but the whale symbolizes man's eternal, eternal look for God, and I'm like, oh, I didn't see any of that. Little saw a man in a whale. So that happens with books and like TV show Severance that we like. When you read the reviews of Severance, they're seeing things I didn't even think of. It gets me to Kendrick Lamar. When I saw it, I was like, well, I'm not really into his music, but it was fine whatever, And then I like get seeing people get angry. But then I saw somebody this morning who wrote all this, what all the symbols and all that meant, and I went, I didn't see any of that, And it makes me feel stupid to be honest with you, Like I was like, I know that's the flag, but did you know that, like he was using the symbols from squid Game? I didn't. Did you all know that? I didn't catch that one. I didn't catch that. Did you catch it? Shannon?

00:26:24
Speaker 3: No?

00:26:25
Speaker 4: See, I don't catch any of these things. Like I feel like when when people start talking about art like that Drew, that's when I feel stupid. And so from. Once I read the thing, I was like, man, that performance had a lot of stuff in it that I didn't didn't realize.

00:26:39
Speaker 6: And I think even just talking about the Drake stuff with you all, there was a lot of you know, in your windows and kind of inside Kendrick stuff to people to get like that buick is his old buick.

00:26:48
Speaker 4: I mean speaking of that buick. Okay, that buick, I'm glad you brought up to view. It's a big part of the show. That's the buick I had. That's Larry's. This is what amazes me about Larry. Okay. I know we haven't gotten to the UK game yet, and that's fine. When I was a kid, I love Larry, but I thought Larry was the most wonderful man, but kind of dorky. Right. Larry had two cars, a sixty six Dodge that by the time I went to college, every rapper had, right, they would put hydro on it. And when Larry had it, I was like, look at this car, and then it became the coolest car in the world. That Buick. That Buick was always like, that's what old people drive, and now it's in the super Bowl. That was his buick. Slash my buick that I still have, not in a form necessarily that you would would want. But can you believe that that's an eighty eight buick.

00:27:52
Speaker 5: In the Jack Harlow video now on the super Bowl? When did that buick become cool?

00:27:58
Speaker 6: All right, Kendrick's been big the buick for a while. But I remember when Harlow did it. You wondered when you should sell. I think now is the time to sell.

00:28:05
Speaker 4: In the Super Bowl. By the way, hit that thing on the market. I'll put the buick on the market. It was a Jack Harlow video. It was just down the Super Bowl. Yeah, you're gonna have to come get it, Come get it. But that ada? Who knew the Ada? And how did all those people get in the car? That was pretty cool? No, I'm serious, how did they? I know they weren't all like literally in the car. Yeah, but where did they come from?

00:28:29
Speaker 5: It were underneath you know, that platform underneath.

00:28:31
Speaker 4: But you could look like you could see to the other side.

00:28:36
Speaker 5: It's all on illusion.

00:28:38
Speaker 4: You think it's all on the loose, but they WoT the people at the game have been able to see the illusion. I looked online. I didn't see anybody posting people coming from below, because if you were at the game, presumably you would have seen it. Yeah.

00:28:51
Speaker 5: I think they probably had some some bumpers or something that made you thus thought you were looking underneath the car, but you're really not, like you're seeing a reflection.

00:28:58
Speaker 4: So how do you think they did it?

00:28:59
Speaker 5: Well, they cut out the bottom of the of the car and they come up some stairs through the stage into the car out the door.

00:29:05
Speaker 4: But how did we not see them come up?

00:29:07
Speaker 5: Because they've got it like the illusionist in you should see that. It's uh blocked off, like they've got like mirrors or something where you think you're looking straight underneath the car, but you're not.

00:29:17
Speaker 4: Oh you think, I'm like, we think we're looking under the car, but that's not what we're looking at. What are we looking at?

00:29:23
Speaker 5: Like it's a mirror you're seeing behind you? You know you're seeing the reflection.

00:29:26
Speaker 4: Okay, So you think the front of the car is a mirror that I'm seeing in the other direction.

00:29:32
Speaker 5: The underneath of the car, the car that sits up like a foot off the ground.

00:29:37
Speaker 4: Okay, And that's a mirror under the car, And I'm thinking I'm looking under the car, but it's not.

00:29:46
Speaker 5: Yes, Okay, that's what I'm going with, or even.

00:29:48
Speaker 6: Better to help your case for selling it. It's just a great car for your family. You can put thirty five people in there.

00:29:53
Speaker 4: Shit, and I want to believe all those people had to sit in the car. Oh yeah, I want to I want to believe they were all in there and they all had to like climb over each other like it was a clown call, like.

00:30:02
Speaker 3: That Coolio video was it Fantastic Boys where they just.

00:30:05
Speaker 2: Kept the song, yeah the video, or.

00:30:10
Speaker 4: Like I was pulling up to Seattle after the road to.

00:30:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, it might be right though, I think the mirror thing probably is what it is.

00:30:15
Speaker 4: Well, I'd like if somebody knows exactly that's a good guess. But if somebody knows exactly what it was. So all in all, did you enjoy the night? Uh?

00:30:23
Speaker 5: You know the game was kind of a dud. You know, there are there aren't many Super Bowls that then they had our blowouts. You know, I was thinking when your Bears won in eighty five, that's like I was like a blowout. There aren't many blowouts.

00:30:33
Speaker 4: We were kids, though there were a lot seemed like there was, but it hasn't been in recent years, there haven't been a lot. Yeah, I loved it.

00:30:39
Speaker 6: Didn't look away, didn't miss commercial. Even when I went from my parents' house to my house, I had to catch it on the phone, so I didn't miss a commercial. So I was obsessed with it. I wish it had been a little bit closer. But when it's the last day of football, I'm I'm gonnat watch as much as I can.

00:30:53
Speaker 4: Tom Brady he's he I'll tell you it is.

00:30:56
Speaker 5: He got better as the season went on. He you know, he's not bad. Like Drew pointed out, he was really struggling there in the second half, trying to find something to kind of will the chief, Dovie.

00:31:05
Speaker 4: Do you like that? He when they were standing there and they would show what's the other guy's name, Kevin burke head Mark Hart Burkhart, that's Kevin Burkhart. We did you like that? They had Bourbon Street behind them?

00:31:17
Speaker 6: I thought, thanks for bringing that up. That was my big complaint. Okay, that was just unnecessary.

00:31:21
Speaker 4: Were we supposed to believe they're just staying on this They just show the booth. I mean, they show the game behind them like you do it most not on Bourbon Street. Do they think we're so stupid that we think they're on Bourbon Street, cause, first of all, who there was no one there. So if it was on Bourbon Street, at least have a couple of drunk people puking on each other if you want me to really think it's Bourbon Street.

00:31:40
Speaker 6: And they were overdoing it with that. Just put the camera with the crowd by it. Let's see the action behind them, like most broadcasts do. That was a little much. They did too much with the graphics.

00:31:48
Speaker 4: Also, I have one more thing and then we'll move to UK the next segment. John ham Right, all right, So John Ham, I like John Ham mad Men is a great show. He was funny on Third Rock. He's good when he Saturday Night Live. He's stunningly handsome. Got nothing against John hamm With that said, he grew up a Rams fan. Okay, he grew up in Saint Louis. He's a Cardinals and a Rams fan. He introduced the Chiefs last night. Now wait a minute, you spent your whole life a Rams fan. Now his explanation is when the Rams moved to LA he wasn't gonna cheer for him anymore. I will know. However, he lives in LA. But he said, I just decided to pick the other team from Missouri Kansas City to keep my Missouri connection challenge flags. You can't do that. You can't do that. If Kentucky tomorrow were to stop playing basketball, just say we as an institution are done. We can't go cheer for Louisville, can't. You can't. I mean you could pick something else up, but you cannot pick up Louisville, Shannon. That has to be like, that's against the fan rules. You can't do that.

00:32:58
Speaker 2: Right, right, Yeah, you gotta stick with your team, especially if you're living out in LA.

00:33:02
Speaker 3: You gotta stick with with LA.

00:33:03
Speaker 4: Right But if you if they move and you decide because they move, I'm out. I accept that. But you cannot pick the other team in the state. Ryan, That's not acceptable. I think he just pulled that out of his rear end. I think you just tried to save a little pr on it by saying that's from Missouri. So I wap chewing him cheering for mon But if I was a Chiefs fan, I wouldn't want him introducing this, Like I don't want a guy who was a fan of another team until they quit lost. I don't. I mean, isn't Paul Rudd the Chiefs fan? Bring him out right?

00:33:35
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:33:35
Speaker 6: I went to the FC Championship in Kansas City and they had Paul Rudd doing the drum and all the fun stuff. He's their famous fan and he was there.

00:33:42
Speaker 4: So that's my first knock on John Ham in his He's like, you don't get to do that. You don't get to just switch and become a fan of the other team in the state.

00:33:52
Speaker 6: I grew up a Cowboys fan, but the Titans didn't exist, and they moved basically into my backyard.

00:33:57
Speaker 4: That's that's that's little they came to you. There's a lot of people in North Carolina who were Washington fans and then when the Panthers came, they were like, all right, now I'm Panthers fans. I'm okay with that. But you can't a team. If Kentucky were to stop playing sports, we don't all become Tennessee fans. We don't all become Louisville fans. You can't do that.

00:34:18
Speaker 6: And do you think Tennessee fans would want us talking about them coming out for their NIT champions You.

00:34:22

We'll take a break Talk UK South Carolina R after this KASR. Welcome back Tucky Sports Radio, so iz Rock. It's an eighty seven Buick that is Larry's. Although, as many of you are pointing out on the text machine, I guess that Kendrick has is a Buick Grand National, which is rare, and everybody's like, you don't have that. I'm not saying we do. I'm just saying if it's eighty seven Buick and it looks just like that, it may not be a Grand National, it may be a Mini National or a Mini Local. I don't know what it is, but it looks just like that car that was on the stage yesterday telling to get it on eBay or something immediately. Yeah, it gonna be hotter than it is, right, this would be the time.

00:35:28
Speaker 6: What yeah, I mean, it's not driving off that lot, so someone would have to go pick it off.

00:35:32
Speaker 4: But if you're gonna move it, this is the peak. This is a good peak time, all right, So let's talk UK in South Carolina, Kentucky wins by twenty three, a game they had to win. Yes, right, they had to win that game. I thought they were one relatively comfortably right, like, had a six to eight point lead most of the first half and then extended it right that started the second half. I think at one point he got cut to nine, but then they went on like a fifteen to two run and brought it back. Had two kill shot runs, which is the new phrase I've learned this year of ten to zero runs or more, we had two. Generally speaking, if you have three you certainly win, and if you have two you win. Most of the time we did that. A lot of guys played well, Mariy Brea Garrison with the Big Game, probably Garrison's best game. But for me, the story Drew is you see how important it is that butler, because when you have butler, you can handle pressure. They tried to pressure, didn't work. Really, and then you can give pressure, you can actually make it to where it takes them a while. You just saw how important Butler is with that game.

00:36:36
Speaker 6: Yeah, just further proved what we already knew, especially defensively, how bad they were missing him. And it wasn't just him, like the other Kentucky players were more active and more engaged in getting up in their opponents.

00:36:48
Speaker 4: They have played maybe the best defense of the year that I've seen him play.

00:36:51
Speaker 6: So I don't know if it's vocal or them just looking over there and seeing him or what, but it translated to all the other guys stepping up too. And even though South Carolina is the last offense in the SEC, it felt good to see him hold a team to fifty seven points.

00:37:02
Speaker 4: I don't care who it is. And also I think it slides the players ryan to their more comfortable roles, right, So like Robinson can become a primary scorer, Oway can be a third guy than Brea against maybe the worst perimeter defender on the other team, which allows him to get shots off. Like it just everybody's just in a much more comfortable position when he's in.

00:37:23
Speaker 5: Yeah, they just seem to move better. They just seem their offense seem to be more efficient. Defense they tightened up. Yeah, you held a team under sixty points. I think it's a big reason because Butler was back. You score eighty and you hold a team under sixty, and I think he's a big reason.

00:37:35
Speaker 4: Why the defense. I mean, I know South Carolina is O to nine in conference going into it. Now they're oh and ten. I know they're not a great offensive team. Nevertheless, though Drew, it was great to see us hold a team to fifty seven. I mean, we've been letting bad offensive team score at least seventy. To hold a team to fifty seven, I don't care who it is. And even though they're oher to ten, they're better than oh and ten. Like I'm not saying they're good, but like they shouldn't be O and ten. They should have won a couple games, Like they're they're better than you would think with that record. Yeah, and they're big. Murray Bowls is very good. He didn't have a great game.

00:38:15
Speaker 6: Yeah, he led to the SEC and field goal percentage going in and they held him to like five for fifteen, so they did a good job guarding him. He still got fourteenish points, but whatever, didn't have a good night. It was just overall in a game where you had Kobe Brea come back to life and a lot of other fun stuff. Offensively, it's just the the defense gives us so much more comfort moving forward that they're not absolutely terrible like they were Tuesday.

00:38:34
Speaker 4: I don all miss and we just had to win. That was the ultimate thing to me, like we just we had to win it. However we won it. We had to win. And now we got Tennessee at home tomorrow night at Texas Saturday. The way I look at it is if you could win both those now we're cooking, but we get but we need to win one, all right. I want to win them both, but let's definitely win one. You lose them both. Now we're kinda I don't know. We're not bad, but we're not where we want to be. So my view, who is would love to go one and one. But if we go to and oh watch out. The biggest surprise for me from the game Saturday is that Damien Fishback said that Isaiah Briscoe was one of his favorite players in UK history. He has to be the only person that I have ever heard drew in the history of mankind say, one of my favorite UK basketball players is Isaiah Briscoe. And that's no shame on Isaiah brisco It's just he was on a team with Monk Fox and Bam and Derreck Willis, and you would pick Isaiah Briscoe's just odd. Oh that guy Isah Briscoe.

00:39:32
Speaker 6: But if you give me a pen of paper and tell me to write down my thirty favorite Kentucky players, I'm not sure I'm even gonna get to him.

00:39:38
Speaker 4: It was an odd pick to be a favorite. I mean, think about that team he was on. How many people in the state do you think have brisco Is one of their five favorite players on that team? It had Monk Fox, Bam, Willis, Hawkins, right, Isaac Humphreys, who a lot of people really liked. I just that was one of the all time hit. Literally, for like five minutes, I stopped paying attention to the game, thinking, how does somebody end up with Isaiah Briscoe was one of their favorite UK players of all time? Really?

00:40:12
Speaker 6: I remember Isaiah Briscoe for being a guard that shot forty six percent.

00:40:15
Speaker 4: From the free throw a lot. Not exactly a fun movie. Were you surprised by that?

00:40:20
Speaker 5: I heard him say that too, kind of shook me for a minute. And Fishback is from Bowling Green, so he knows a lot of the news.

00:40:25
Speaker 4: I forgot about that. So he looked at all those Kentucky players. He was like Rex mash Tayshawan, who wal Davis? Give me a little that brisco Like, I just I just didn't see it. But shout out to Isaiah Briscoe for that being the case.

00:40:43
Speaker 6: So like he opened a bodega New Jersey, maybe a Fishback goes there when he's up in New York. Visit mean he opened a bodegon in New Jersey. Yeah, I'm a bachelor party. We tried to go go give Briscoe some of our business were in New Jersey.

00:40:54
Speaker 4: I don't know. I looked it up at the time. I couldn't tell you exactly where. See. I love the UK guys that have weird post careers. Isaiah brisco having a bodega in New Jersey's up there. It's not Shigari a lean doing salsa dancing for a living, which I don't think anything will ever top, but it's up there.

00:41:12
Speaker 3: Being a farmer was pretty shocking.

00:41:13
Speaker 4: Romel being a farmer was weird. That's true. I don't think I when I when I met Ramel from Brooklyn, I don't think I thought that man's gonna create try to grow vegetables. And Pike Bull I didn't see that on his being go card, but he did.

00:41:27
Speaker 6: It's the La Placita Bodega. Where is it in his hometown? I guess is that Newark?

00:41:33
Speaker 4: Will you know the NCAA tournament, the East Regional was in Newark. It's a remote. We have to do a show at Placita Bodega, and we should invite Damien Fishback and regulars up there and come down. You know, that might be a show that would lead to my retirement. We we take Damien Fishback, we go to La Placita Bodega, do our show and invite Shigary Alean for assaut fands, like if all those things were going to happen, and then win the regional we had did we win the regional and we go you know what, don't get any better than that. I think that's it. It's allowed.

00:42:11
Speaker 6: That would be a good way to end the rack in the Metal Lands of Pope. I mean, it'd be full circle for everyone.

00:42:16
Speaker 4: I don't think they have the metal Lands anymore. But whatever that arena is in Newark, alright, eight five, twenty two eighty seven. We're not opening the phone jet. I want to talk more about the game in Tennessee coming up. This is KSR.
