Speaker 1: One of the biggest misconceptions about buying a home right now is that you have to wait for the perfect moment, perfect rates, perfect timing, perfect market. The truth is that moment doesn't really exist. A lot of buyers pause because of headlines or assumptions, but every situation is different. Race change, market shift, and personal goals matter just as much as what's happening nationally. That's why talking to a local lender can be so valuable. When you contact Doctor Mortgage, you get paired up with a local lender. That lender will give you your options. That lender will explain the situation. You can ask your own questions.

Speaker 2: Welcome to hour two of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones.

00:01:11
Speaker 3: Welcome back our number two Kentucky Sports Radio A five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. Text machine is seven seven two seven seven four five two five four. One person writes, Matt, I had a very similar scene with Drew and Derrick Henry uh with Neil Patrick Harris on the set of Gonegirl in twenty thirteen. Hey, it happens to all this man. It's an interesting one, though, Neil Patrick Harris on Gonegirl. That a good movie. Oh, terrifying movie. Yeah good. That's a That's a rare case of a really good book that also becomes a really good movie. Sometimes a really good book doesn't translate to a good movie, or the book or the movie are so much better. Like The Godfather was a book, but people don't even think about it as a book because the movie was so good. It's rare that both the book and the movie movie hold up. I would ask you all, but I know I'm outside of Drew in a room full of non readers.

00:02:07
Speaker 4: So that was I can think of some some of that don't line up like you know, Forrest Gump was a book, but Forrest Gump was a book.

00:02:13
Speaker 3: I can't figure it. Was it a book first or was it one of those they turned the book from the book first? Really think? So? I don't think I knew that own it.

00:02:23
Speaker 5: I read To Kill a Mockingbird in high school.

00:02:25
Speaker 3: Well, now that one holds up, I think to Kill a Mockingbird the movie is also great, and the book, I think that's actually a very good one for one that holds up in both ends. Maybe seven so for more of our intellectual listeners seven seven two seven seven four five two five four I have not read or seen, but one of the Best Picture nominees is Hamnett, which also won awards as a book just three or four years ago. So uh, that one probably would make it, even though I haven't. I haven't seen the movie yet.

00:02:55
Speaker 5: I'm not sure what that's about.

00:02:57
Speaker 3: We've talked about it on this show before and on coovers where you're we've actually talked about it on both, so I'm good you have no idea you were sitting there. It's called let's move one letter and.

00:03:09
Speaker 5: See the making of Hamlet the right sort of.

00:03:12
Speaker 3: Yes, it's about how Shakespeare when he was writing Hamlet, he had a kid die. Yeah, and so he's writing about like the kid dying how it affected his writing of Hamlet.

00:03:22
Speaker 5: Yeah, it just doesn't sound like my type of movie.

00:03:24
Speaker 3: But to each their own, yeah, well it may not be, but we have talked about it multiple times on all of these shows. Eight if I'm nine two eight, twenty two eighty seven, One person writes, Matt, would you have talked to Tony Cornhies if he was in the stall next to you? No, but I would wait outside the door creepily for when he walked outside, and I think I would try to. I would probably awkwardly try to have made it a bit with him, Like I would have awkwardly been like I didn't want to talk to you at the urinal, so now I'm talking to you now. And he would have given me a look of like are you doing this? And I'd be like, look, I have to do this because it's you.

00:04:04
Speaker 4: And you all could have maybe made a little bit, he maybe played a long.

00:04:07
Speaker 3: Maybe, although he seems like part of why I don't want to meet him is I feel like it'll ruin it because he's he is a curmudgeon, and he doesn't seem particularly nice, and I worry that it'll ruin it.

00:04:24
Speaker 4: I mean, you have decades of appreciation and being a fan of him.

00:04:28
Speaker 3: And the reason I have a career. It's like him and Bill Simmons, but it's really more him, and I just feel, you know. I mean even radio. I got into radio by sitting on the DC circuit listening to Tony Kornheiser on my computer at ten am. And I mean, the reason this show is at ten am is because Tony Kornheiser's show is on ten amy. The reason we come in with music is cause of Tony Kornheiser. The reason I talk about my life is because Tony Kornheiser used to start every show talking about his life, wouldn't talk about sports, would talk about his life and need one segment and then he'd go to sports. So if I met him and he was rude, they might cry.

00:05:09
Speaker 4: They could do a universal damage to you. That could be like some real go back to be a lawyer. Just just give it all to Billy here, Billy, you wanted it anyway.

00:05:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, So so maybe I don't want to meet They say, don't meet your heroes.

00:05:25
Speaker 4: You know, should I have waited for Derek outside?

00:05:28
Speaker 3: We got to meet part of your hero.

00:05:32
Speaker 4: I really wished this for a podcast. I've got so many I could say.

00:05:39
Speaker 3: I'm twenty. I can't believe I said that eighty seven. All right, let's talk about the game just a little bit. Oh yeah, they played last night. Uh, Kentucky basically, you know, for the most part ahead throughout the game, no real difficulty throughout most of the game. Get up. You know, it stayed to be about a three point game through most of the first half, and then they go on to run. Colin Chandler banged right in front of Billy, right in front of the ESPN executives, back to back, get it up to double digits. Second half at one point early on, get up to twenty. Own the middle eight that we talked about last four minutes, first half, first four and second half. At one point, Oklahoma cuts it to eight, but then a Brandon Garrison and one kind of puts the game away. I thought it was for what Kentucky wants right now, bout as good as it could have been.

00:06:33
Speaker 4: Yeah, last night, before the game, that was the first time in months that I can remember going into game pretty confident. I really believe they've turned a little bit of a corner. Even home games against Ole Miss and Texas, there's been a part of me that's had my guard up, like anything could happen. But I'm confident now that it's seven out of eight. I know the Vandy game stinks, but I feel like they have turned in a corner. I felt good going into that. I'm glad they finished the job that was kind of just don't lose this and mess up your resume. Well however it looks, get it done, but I'm glad they put it on a pretty good and a lot of the guys that have been playing well just staying consistent.

00:07:04
Speaker 3: Chandler oh Way and then had a big game for me. It's our record right now? Is it something? In seven? Is it sixteen?

00:07:12
Speaker 4: Se lost two SCC or three SEC games, three SEC games, four in the ninths.

00:07:16
Speaker 3: It's seven losses. But are we sixteen and seven or are we seventeen and seven? I get concisted.

00:07:22
Speaker 2: I believe.

00:07:24
Speaker 3: Sixteen and seven, So in my mind, we need to win two more to be I think eighteen and we're in This was you know, this was the easiest game left on the schedule, so you had to you had to get it. And uh, I think a lot of you know, oh way, twenty four points what he's been so excellent efficient twenty four too. Yeah, I mean he's going to I saw he is going to uh uh you know, he he's going to probably finish just short of Terrence Jones and Antonio Reeves for the record for most double digit games as a two year player, which is kind of.

00:08:08
Speaker 4: Amazing if you think about it, and with a little bit of a funk to start this year. I mean, if you did SEC only stats, I think it'd be crazy because he had the way. Yeah, he's had double ditch every game and last year had the long run really on one game without him. So yeah, we all had our concerns early. It seems that he's put that way behind them and playing like a player of the Year in the conference.

00:08:27
Speaker 3: And then you know, you put Brandon Garrison against Oklahoma, I mean, he's gonna get it technical and he's also gonna play great. I mean double double you know, point twenty points plus in a game and made big plays. I mean didn't just didn't just score, made plays Billy when they had to.

00:08:46
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just hope we can get that out of him when it's not against Oklahoma. I think they're gonna need it when it's like who's gonna step up tonight from the big position? Is it Moreno?

00:08:53
Speaker 3: Is it BG?

00:08:54
Speaker 5: It was a legacy game from last night. Corey to Mario Ye, I don't know if.

00:08:58
Speaker 3: He legacy's strong word, but I do think I do think he played excellent first. I mean, he is not going to give you that all the time, but he is going to. But when he can do it, it's a it's huge.

00:09:11
Speaker 4: For Yeah, we can't expect twenty to eleven, but impacting the game the way he did, he can do more of that.

00:09:16
Speaker 3: He he had some.

00:09:17
Speaker 4: Flashy passes last night. Also, he was doing a little bit of everything. And I you know that Oklahoma thing with him it is. I know he's from there, he lost to him a couple times. He's at Oklahoma State. Then we have this stuff last year, but that man just has a hatred for that team. I mean he sees red and Oklahoma's across the court and it's been some of his best games of his career at Kentucky.

00:09:36
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's not overlook Yeleovich. I mean he played twenty plus minutes, was two or three from three?

00:09:40
Speaker 3: He's great.

00:09:41
Speaker 5: I mean, I think that's important.

00:09:42
Speaker 3: So people are making suggestions about books and movies that are good. I will not while we have a lot of suggestions, not as many as if I say, like, what's the best reality show that includes dancing? But that's okay, a lot of them. One flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. That's a really good call. I read that book a long time ago. A lot of Steven Stephen King might be the king for this, Oh yeah, so think about it, the Shining It, uh, Misery, Green Mile. He might be the king for producing literally things that are both translatable to movies and great books. First Gump, they say in the book, becomes a professional wrestler.

00:10:28
Speaker 4: Named the Dunce. It's like very different than the movie.

00:10:31
Speaker 2: Really, I wonder.

00:10:34
Speaker 3: With the Yeah, I wonder what made them because that's clearly like mocking him, and I don't think the movie is mocking him. Really. Oh, it's a celebration of the greatest American diverlace. Yeah, so wonder why they wonder what made them? I mean, obviously it worked, but I wonder why they were, Like, let's let's do that. Let's make that transition. I don't know. I'm glad they did though worked out. Yeah, that's like your favorite movie, isn't it. It is All the President's Men. That's a good call, Harry Potter. Yeah, I mean those books were huge, very obvious. That's I mean, if you think about it, if you think about how big the books were. The fact that the movies weren't a flop, Well, Lord of the Rings is the same way. I mean Lord of the Rings, like when they were making that movie, that had to be like the most pressure in the world because Lord of the Rings has been a big book series for fifty sixty five or many years, and then you make a movie and it wins an Oscar.

00:11:24
Speaker 4: Yeah, we also uh not to change the subject for stay on the book subject.

00:11:29
Speaker 3: Have you seen Lonesome Dove is a good call as well. Loldsome Dove is a great book and a great TV series. But go ahead.

00:11:36
Speaker 4: It looks like there's some some books going up on campus in Lexington. I tweeted this this morning. Well you mean books going up book Devin Booker's putting little books all over Lexington. Just tell people to watch out for that. What do you mean it's like a well, it's a big book that's at the student center this morning, so.

00:11:51
Speaker 3: They're putting those all up campus. Is this the shoe thing something? Yeah, you're being very mysterious about this whole shoe thing.

00:11:59
Speaker 4: I am, you know, just I like I like to I like to keep some secrets people secrets.

00:12:06
Speaker 5: Are they wearing the denim Saturday?

00:12:07
Speaker 3: They are? They? Are? You just hear about that? Breaking news? I mean we've been talking about that for Christmas.

00:12:14
Speaker 5: I was just confirming.

00:12:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've talked about it on the pre show the last two days.

00:12:20
Speaker 3: We've talked about Shandon says You've talked about on the pre show for two straight downs. Correct.

00:12:25
Speaker 5: I was confirming. And then if he's gonna be all secretive about shoes. I was just putting the two together.

00:12:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, they are wearing the denim, as they told us on Christmas.

00:12:33
Speaker 3: Another one that produces good books and movies would be John Grisham The Firm Firm. The Firm is a great movie. I don't know if I've read the book, but it is great. The Firm is a great movie in Memphis, set in Memphis, very high. It's a thriller.

00:12:51
Speaker 4: I downloaded the firm book on my phone for a flight here. I read two pages, so I can't tell you a lot about it.

00:12:57
Speaker 3: But what's the one with Ashley Time to Kill? Time to Kill? That's John Grisham, isn't it. I think? So that's really good with Matthew McConaughey and Samuel L. Jackson.

00:13:11
Speaker 4: What's her other one? No, that one Double Jeopardy.

00:13:14
Speaker 3: Well, there was the Pelican brief. There you go. I think Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington. So there's a lot more than one. I didn't expect to be talking about books right now. Let's go back to the game for a second. Colin Chandler hits big shots.

00:13:26
Speaker 4: Yes around there in December looked like he lost his confidence, he got to worry what he was shooting open threes. He snapped out of that week's ago. He's been great lately. Another dagger in a moment where they needed it. And it's not just a three point shooting. He has like five of the biggest plays in these wins, going back to the past to Marino, the steal and get it to o Way, the three healingats old Miss. I mean, he has been great since they've turned us.

00:13:50
Speaker 3: He nearly had a three quarter shot at the first half front rim Uh, so bothered. You know, he shot poorly to start the season, then he completely lost his confidence and now again I think jay On Low getting hurt. It's like he didn't have a choice but but but to play more and now playing.

00:14:08
Speaker 5: Well, he gonna need him. He was rocking a new hat in the press conference the other day. That looked good.

00:14:13
Speaker 3: So what about Mark Pope's toboggan in the press conference?

00:14:17
Speaker 4: I understood that he left early to go get his daughter at the airport. We definitely support that excused absence. But he did get a little dressed for the cold little early. But it was over like one ear like it.

00:14:28
Speaker 3: Was it was a skew, it was a crown. Was it a brown Kentucky? It didn't. He looked like eminem. He looked like he was like, uh, what is it? Well, you were doing the rap earlier, yes.

00:14:41
Speaker 5: Yeah, I cannot repeat that, but well it was vomited on a sweater already.

00:14:45
Speaker 3: Mom's spaghetti, Mom spaghetti. Yeah, well, uh yeah, he was going that was kind of cool. He's picking his daughter up at the airport after her mission.

00:14:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been a year and a half since he's since he's been here in senior, so I can understand Dad wanting to be at the airport to get her so excused absence. After the excuse, the hat was was interesting. You can find your perfect match this month at Don Franklin. Choose from over six thousand new and certified pre OM vehicles.

Speaker 3: It's Don Franklin, Don Franklin Otto, Don Franklin Auto dot Com, Driven by family with your friends at Don Franklin. We'll take a break of very back. It's ks right, welcome back, take you sports Radio. I'm nine two eight twenty two eighty seven text machine seven seven two seven seven four five two five four. People suggesting other books. Game of Thrones. I've never read that or watched it, so it would be hard just on a movie though. I thought of that, but we were keeping it in the movie category. What's the one, what's the one with the Hunt for Red October? I think that was a se Connery. Yeah, think that was the book. I've not read it righted, he's in the movie. I think on Connery didn't write the book.

00:16:02
Speaker 4: He's in the rock. We're gonna go to alcatrazz I'm looking out this window here.

00:16:05
Speaker 3: We have a little bit of time in today, and we have a lot of time tomorrow afternoon. Uh are we gonna see some sites? What do you want to see?

00:16:12
Speaker 4: I'll do anything but go to the Golden gate Bridge.

00:16:14
Speaker 5: I want to get one of those.

00:16:15
Speaker 3: Was with you? You don't you don't like the Golden gate Bridge. You're only a part of it.

00:16:19
Speaker 4: What are you talking if the bay Bridge is much better? No one talks about the bay Bridge.

00:16:23
Speaker 3: Now, the bay Bridge is the one that got ruined in the earthquake and then they and then they rebuilt it.

00:16:27
Speaker 4: Yeah, like they're all like, let's go to Golden No, it's just good at marketing. Bay Bridge is better. It's right here, right over here. We'll go to it makes it better. Just didn't get talked about enough. Better views.

00:16:37
Speaker 3: Okay, gold it's got to each other they are.

00:16:41
Speaker 4: And one's better than the other, and it's the bay Bridge. No one out there talks about the bay Bridge.

00:16:45
Speaker 3: So I will use what makes the Golden gate Bridge. Sad just people just saw a documentary, but it's pretty dark what people jumping off? But I mean, don't you think they jump off the Bay Bridge? How could you dom? It's beautiful. I'm just telling you all, if we're ranking the bridge, you don't think they jump off the ball. I want to show you all today. I went scooting over there one time. I wrecked.

00:17:05
Speaker 4: I still have a scar, and I was still smiling because the Bay Bridge was right there.

00:17:09
Speaker 3: What person, Okay? One person writes, Matt, the way that you said you are about Tony Kornheiser is how I feel like if I would meet you, I'd be worried you'd be rude, and it would make me sad. Well, I would not want I want to be rude. I try very hard to not be rude when I meet people in public. You know, I had a friend in college on't say about me. I think this is a good description. Matt is awesome when you first meet him. He's awesome if you get to know him. It's in the middle where he's hard. You all are all laughing because I think you agree with you like you like you all all know me, and we all get along really well. But it's that like you kind of know me, but you don't really Mario, I'm shaking his hand like, that's when it's hard with me, and I would, I would. I think that's probably fair. So if you just met me once, I think you'd be fine. But like, if you only see me occasionally and you don't really know me, then it might be difficult.

00:18:10
Speaker 4: So if you've met Matt, if you see him again, just know the second.

00:18:13
Speaker 3: Interaction, just action second through four are gonna be push. If you can push through and get to six, seven, eight, it'll be better to just just a little dip.

00:18:26
Speaker 4: You'll be fine if you just get on the other side of that, But there is a dip.

00:18:31
Speaker 5: Time in the place is important too, like urinal is extreme. But like I can imagine you sitting down eating is not the time.

00:18:37
Speaker 3: I will always be nice to me. I generally I don't think you bother people when they're eating. But with that said, if people do, I'm not gonna be rude to them.

00:18:50
Speaker 5: It's their first time.

00:18:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, Now, if you sit down at the thing, that's a little different, but most people don't do that. I am fine with people who come up and say something something nice. I'm always, I try to always, but you know, you can catch somebody, they can catch you on a bad day and then like it can be you know, I mean that can be. I hate that though, cause like I remember when I've interacted with people that I knew or admired and they were kind of rude and it sticks with you. Like I watched I watched yesterday people being rude to people. I don't know if you saw that, but I watched yesterday some like really big celebrities and I don't think they're trying to be mean, but like they they're trying to wade through people and they can be rude. Right, Yeah, Okay. I saw Stephen a like people trying to talk to him and he kept walking, but I he stops, he's gonna get mobbed.

00:19:44
Speaker 4: And we've seen these schedules, like it's like pretty precise, like eleven fifteen, eleven twenty, Like you gotta get from spot to spot those people.

00:19:52
Speaker 3: So I get it.

00:19:53
Speaker 5: It's a little don't meet your heroes with Matt Jones.

00:19:55
Speaker 4: Sometimes no, don't don't meet him a second, don't meet him a second, don't meet your hero a second time.

00:19:59
Speaker 3: It's yeah, right, one person rights Matt, San Francisco, I always hear is awful. I trust your all's judgment. Is San Francisco as bad as everybody acts like? I don't think so at all. Now, granted, I'm sure there are parts that are bad. There are more homeless people here than you would see in most cities. Like people think New York is full of homeless people, that's actually not true. LA is full of homeless people. DC, at least when I would live there, had a lot of homeless people. San Francisco does have more than your average homeless people, I think. But I also think there's like amazing stuff here, so I think it gets a bad rap. Now. There are a lot of empty buildings from we talked about like after COVID where a lot of those buildings closed, So like there's a lot of sort of areas with like commercial areas with empty buildings here.

00:21:00
Speaker 4: On a vacation about four years ago, I pointed to you all their Union Square area, that's where that's where a lot of empty and I was, you know, four or five years ago, those were pretty full. I like it a lot. The area we're in. We still need to get out and see some views because I mean, it's beautiful when you get over by the Bay Bridge, but this nob Hill area is great. It's a lot of walk in the hills, but there's still still so much more to see around here. I really enjoyed it.

00:21:21
Speaker 3: They were closer to Kentucky to you do you like it?

00:21:24
Speaker 5: I've enjoyed it so far. It's it's hard to get past the hills, but once you do, it's Yeah.

00:21:29
Speaker 3: But I just think there's this there's this view that gets perpetuated. We saw this in Seattle when we went to Seattle. There's this view that gets perpetuated that if you've never been out here, you see on TV it's like it's a war zone and it's like, you know here they're always saying it's like zombies filled with you know, uh with with homeless people and and and there are I mean, I will acknowledge there are more homeless people than you would see in Lexington or in Louisville, But it's not like that in my opinion. There's when I've been to La, there's many more homeless people in LA than there are here.

00:22:06
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm a big food guy. This is a great foodie city.

00:22:10
Speaker 3: There everything on every corner you smell like another amazing food smell.

00:22:15
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I'm a big fan. I know it's got its problems, but any city has its problems. And everybody you watch the TV, they zoom in on one thing and tell you that's the whole place. And people have never been believe it because they believe that the TV told them. Yeah, sure, there are bad areas here. That is a very small percent of everything that's here.

00:22:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's also a lot of Yeah, there's a lot of money here because this is where all the AI tech stuff. And you can tell there's a lot of money here. And so when there's a lot of money, there's also going to be a lot of nice things in addition to the other stuff. Nice weather.

00:22:48
Speaker 5: It's been a nice break from the ice of Lexington and Louisville.

00:22:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, I heard. Yeah, I wonder what they got more snow. We just got out by the way, Like there was snow that hit Louisville like right after our flight. So for me, if we had booked an hour later, I'm we might have gotten stuck. You know.

00:23:04
Speaker 4: Yeah, all of this never would have happened just a few hours behind.

00:23:09
Speaker 3: What all these stories I don't like when you take a deep breath like you're gonna talk, and then you don't say anything because I pause, and then you just go, Billy, you just go and then you don't say anything. You can when you do that, you've got to talk, all right, Thank you very much. Eighty seven. We'll take a break. Me right back. It's KSR. TJ. Smith Personal injury attorney, call TJ.

Speaker 3: Here's Matt Jones, welcome back and his Kentucky Sports Radio if I'm nine two eight twenty two, eighty seven. We haven't taken any calls, but just because we've been having fun. It's it's fascinating to me. And I'm not gonna calling these people out because I think people mean well, but the amount of people that I can, I mean, we are here, and we are in the areas of Safe for Cisco that are the main areas, and people who aren't here arguing with me about how many homeless people are Like literally we're.

00:24:07
Speaker 4: Walking around done all walking, like probably more walking than I'd want to do.

00:24:12
Speaker 3: Just it is amazing to me. And this is not like let me just say, this is not a right or lefting. This isn't everybody thing. How much folks let their viewpoints be just given to them by the talking points of networks and then like that's their viewpoint rather than oh, that's interesting, I'd like to learn more. I'd like to hear what the other side thinks, and then balanced It's just like Matt, they come in and clean all the homeless people off the streets before the Super Bowl. I mean, well, first of all, if they did, they didn't do a good job. They're still because they're still around. But secondly, how do you know that you know what I mean? How do you know that?

00:24:56
Speaker 4: Also in part of me, it's said that I mean there's no impact, like I mean, you just keep walking.

00:25:02
Speaker 6: Yeah, thats no if you keep I mean, it's sad that it's sad, Like I don't I feel bad like I I used to when I was younger, I used to give money sometimes to homeless people, and I became convinced that like that wasn't helpful for a variety of reasons.

00:25:21
Speaker 3: That are. I had a conversation with somebody who I think has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I've ever met and and sort of convinced me. So now, if I do anything, which I probably don't as much as I should, if I look in the mirror, I probably should because I believe in acknowledging people's humanity, but I probably don't do it as much as I should. It's give an actual item of like food or something, or just acknowledge their existence. I tend to sometimes just walk past. I don't know if that's good or not, but I don't think giving money actually saves anything. Uh.

00:25:51
Speaker 4: I've heard of a guy in Lexington. I know him through a friend. He keeps like ten dollars McDonald's gift cards on him. See that's truly want food, Well, listen to get you plenty of food, you know, And that's one way to help.

00:26:02
Speaker 5: I Once I'm engaged to my girlfriend, my fiance, and in Dallas, I had the ring in my pocket and we were walking around and a homeless person was asking me for money and you gave him the ring.

00:26:14
Speaker 3: No, but we just walked.

00:26:15
Speaker 5: By and didn't really say anything, and he was like hey, and he started chasing us down. So you got to imagine, I've got this ring in my pocket and now a homeless person's chasing us down and asking like, hey, you know, acknowledge me, Like I'm right here, And so I turned around and just diffused the situation and then we left. But I was like, keep walking, keep walking. And then he started chasing us. That's when I turned around and said, hey, back off.

00:26:37
Speaker 2: You should have said will you marry me?

00:26:41
Speaker 3: What do you mean you are you suggesting you intimidated him?

00:26:45
Speaker 5: No, I was just turning around. I was like, hey, you know, no, don't have anything, don't carry cash on me? Yeah, and then he was and then he walked away. Yeah, he was like Billy, but he did his own thing.

00:26:55
Speaker 3: Wow, that is Billy badas Were you wearing the vest that you're gonna wear this week?

00:27:00
Speaker 5: No, no, I didn't have the vest. And that was, uh that hasn't been revealed yet.

00:27:04
Speaker 3: That was on the postgame show last night. So are you spoiler? Yeah?

00:27:09
Speaker 5: I just said I gotta match it the right way, you know.

00:27:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're gonna look like Buzz Williams at the party.

00:27:16
Speaker 5: A buzz only stayed in a spot five or six years and it gets a little hot in the kitchen.

00:27:20
Speaker 3: Uh oh was that a hint? How long you've been working here.

00:27:23
Speaker 5: I think I'm at eight or nine.

00:27:25
Speaker 3: You're gonna be like buzz on the next onto the uh, onto the on to the next one. What uh.

00:27:33
Speaker 5: What was amazing though, is our first bar we went to here in San Francisco. We met somebody that was from Lexington, Right.

00:27:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. Well that's been a surprise here too, is how many people knew us, like, not not necessarily like like me and Matt Jones, but like knew the success of ks R SO Shannon because those rating, those rankings came out yesterday, right, that had us number one with all these radio people these like we had people coming up to us congratulating this all.

00:28:05
Speaker 2: Day like that they want to be where we were, you know, like where we were changing.

00:28:10
Speaker 3: Well we're in Kentucky. That comes out like no one says, no one cares. But here that's like a thing. So people like the guy that makes them, the guy that makes the rankings. He was there and he was like, congrats man, great job this year. I don't know what to say to that, because what do we do, right, yeah, say, I mean we thanked him. It was the same thing that we've kind of always done. But that was sort of interesting too.

00:28:37
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was like the perfect storm of that came out and then a lot of those shows that are on the list and the Barrett Media.

00:28:43
Speaker 3: Where then they're like, how somebody from like Dallas even knows this exists?

00:28:50
Speaker 4: You know, Billy probably dropped a resident passing them out everywhere.

00:28:57
Speaker 3: Probably, So what verse rights? Matt? After Kentucky wins now seven and three? Do you think we get to double digit wins in the SEC? That requires three more of the next eight. I'm gonna read you the schedule, all right. Let me read you the schedule, and you tell me if you think we could get three of the next eight. Tennessee at home that Saturday, then at Florida, Georgia home at Auburn, at South Carolina, and then a murderer's row of last three games host Vandy, at A and M host Florida.

00:29:35
Speaker 4: I think they're gonna get Tennessee on Saturday. I worry about the two Florida games at A and M. I'm almost just calling those that three.

00:29:44
Speaker 3: Can I call that shot? We're gonna win at A and M. Okay, it's gonna be. That's gonna be one that nobody thinks we're gonna win. I think they're gonna I think they're gonna hit a little bit of a downslide, okay, because they've been so good, surprisingly good. I think we're at we're we're gonna steal A the A and M game, all right, hope. So they're good. They score a lot of points. So here's my I'll go through. I think we lose at home Saturday at Tennessee.

00:30:09
Speaker 4: I think since we beat them last time, I think we're gonna lose the DNOM emotions.

00:30:14
Speaker 3: I think we'll lose at Florida, but then I think we beat GEORGIEA at home. I don't know what to think about at Auburn. That could go either way. Yeah, they're they're they give me a night and Day team. We're gonna win at South Carolina. I think we lose at home to Vandy, win at A and M, lose at home to Florida. So we're gonna have like this weird. We're gonna lose like three or four home games, but then win these games on the road. I have you a same record for the end, except I have losing A and M and beating Van at home, and you I can see that. I mean I could see, first of all, look at these games and say, all right, which one can't we win? The only game I don't think we can win is Valentine's Day at Florida. The rest of these games, I think you could win them all, right, but I would say you could lose them all. I think Carolina is a road game. You know they're not good. But like, there's no game on the schedule except at Florida that I think we're definitely gonna lose. But I also don't know that there's any game that you can go, yeah, we're definitely gonna win.

00:31:24
Speaker 4: And we're used to counting Georgia at home. Just go ahead and count that as a win. It's not your usual Georgia this year either.

00:31:31
Speaker 3: Yeah. So I don't know, Billy. I mean, it's odd. It's odd how you have eight games left and you could go eight to o or oh to eight. I mean really like that's not a crazy thing to say.

00:31:43
Speaker 5: And it's amazing Kentucky finds himself in a situation where they can compete for this regular season title. It's a wide open SEC this year.

00:31:49
Speaker 3: I mean, that's let's talk about that for a second. I mean, like right now, we're third in the SEC. I mean A and M and Florida are seven and two. We're seven in three, and then Arkansas, v Andy, and Tennessee are six and three. So you know, we're there for a shot to win the league. I mean, we'd have to go on a heck of a run. But it's not it's not crazy, right.

00:32:15
Speaker 4: Yeah, But I mean the teams ahead of you, they're still on the schedule. You got two against Florida, you got A and M. If you really wanted to win it, those games will carry a lot of way.

00:32:22
Speaker 3: Florida plays at A and M Saturday, that's coming up. Yeah, so Florida plays at A and M Saturday, which means one of those teams is going to take a loss. So you're you if you win Saturday, you're gonna probably be in second place in the SEC, and.

00:32:37
Speaker 4: You at least have a tiebreaker over Arkansas. If you get Tennessee on Saturday. A lot of those teams in that pile for third, you're gonna have an edge on them too, even if you finish with the same record.

00:32:46
Speaker 3: And I also know Florida, I mean I'm sitting here looking at schedules, you know, Florida has a very hard schedule coming down a stretch. They play pretty much all the good teams. I'm sitting here looking at A and M. Well, I was looking at A and now I can't get them. But so these teams all have tough schedules coming down the stretch.

00:33:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Kentucky will finish probably even double by in the SEC. I just worry Florida already having a game lead, and I watched that Sunday game against Alabama. My goodness, they had seventy two paints in the points in the paint and only three turnovers in the game and one by nearly thirty against Alabama.

00:33:25
Speaker 3: I see here and look at A and M schedule. They might be the favorite because they still have Missouri, Ole, miss Oklahoma, and LSU on their schedule.

00:33:36
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, it would mean a lot for this team to stay together and get a double buy in the SEC after where they've been some places this year. I mean, I think without your three top guys, you had to say, it's a hell of a coaching job if you are to stay in contention like that, and then it's just about what you do in the tournament, right.

00:33:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's fair if I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. Corn brad hemp, we are here. No, we did not get bigger than cornbread hemp last night. No matter what people think, so think about the post game show. I did, however, take it when I went to sleep and uh in the Hoosier State. Now it's available for you. Organic sleep gummies, topicals, oils help you be well rounded, relief, no waiting for shipping. It's all at Cornbreadhamp or cornbreadhimp dot com. Head to your local retailer in Kentucky, Ohio or Indiana and ask for cornbread hemp. It is cornbread hemp. This is the good life. We'll take a break of be right back to Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome back in this Kentucky Sports Radio. Eight five nine two twenty two eighty seven. Uh, Text Machine, love to hear from you. I've been reading texts all day. You guys have cheered us. Well, we've already been cheery, but it's been good to follow along. In San Francisco, we will be putting out content all day. The newcover zero will come out probably tonight, so UH check it out. It'll have our interviews with Shawn Alexander with Busting with the Boys. Maybe Joe Milton listen to him if he gets food stuck in his grill. That wasn't my finest hour yesterday. The problem is I just I mean, what do you ask Joe? Joe Milton was the one where I was like, I don't know what to say to this person. And it's not his fault.

00:35:11
Speaker 4: I mean, he's a backup quarterback in his second season, like it had him played a lot of football in the NFL. So luckily we had the Tennessee connection. If he had been from the Pack or the Big Ten or something, I don't know what we would have gone.

00:35:23
Speaker 3: With Mike Golick. By the way, when we were interviewing him Shannon, as they left, they left us a supply of the thing he was trying to sell, and it was like, diabetes medication.

00:35:33
Speaker 2: What do you do with that?

00:35:34
Speaker 3: I don't know.

00:35:36
Speaker 4: I left my sitting there. In hindsight, I didn't mean to, but I mean.

00:35:40
Speaker 3: They're like here and I'm like what is this and they're like, it's your diabetes, Like put it on your arm, put your arm, but he put it on your arm and it tracks your diet.

00:35:47
Speaker 2: But we don't diabetes.

00:35:49
Speaker 3: We don't have diabetes, or at least I hope I don't have diabetes.

00:35:52
Speaker 5: Let's be rude to ask. So maybe he was just there.

00:35:55
Speaker 2: He just assumed.

00:35:56
Speaker 3: I mean, they asked us, they said, here, take this, we want you all to have it. Is that like, are you supposed to even if you had other if you had other diseases, they don't just tell you to do treatment for it.

00:36:08
Speaker 2: If here's your topic, I'm just gonna leave this here for you.

00:36:14
Speaker 3: You're so siphonless medication if you need it. If we got extras, you.

00:36:18
Speaker 2: Know who has it based on who took it.

00:36:21
Speaker 4: I just think that's an odd Yeah, I'm still sitting on the ground right beneath ursa.

00:36:26
Speaker 3: Now that what they did give us of was Christian McCaffrey's ollip That was good. Did you drink one? I did not. I've had ollipop before though, actually, I mean it's no McDonald's dot coke, But ollipop was was good. I was worried, though, shit, And I asked Christian McCaffrey, what's your favorite flavor of ollipop? And he had a look on his face that made me think he doesn't know any.

00:36:49
Speaker 2: Flavors, just a greap. Everything is great, you know.

00:36:53
Speaker 3: And then he goes he goes crisp Apple and I was like, okay, there, that's pretty precise. That's pretty specific crisp. But there was a half second where it looked like he was like.

00:37:05
Speaker 2: He had a look at the can real quick.

00:37:09
Speaker 3: He did have a look for a second that was like, I don't really know a lot of ollipop.

00:37:14
Speaker 4: I don't want to play spoiler before his episode drops, but two of our listeners in particular, are going to want to hear that.

00:37:19
Speaker 3: I've already told him a text and let him know I got I got. I got McCaffrey to give a shout out to a couple of our listeners. I'm not a shout out guy, but they've been with us a long time. He gave a great shout out. It's interesting to see Christian McCaffrey because women. He has an effect on women the way k Adams affects Mario. Christian McCaffrey. I don't know if you saw. There were three women with the NFL who were I walked off the set and they go, is he his beautiful in person? Is he as beautiful up close? As he is from Afar, like he has an effect on him even though he's a little short king, I.

00:37:54
Speaker 4: Wouldn't mess with him, but I mean he's he was much shorter than me and you. Yeah, and he's like very robot like. There's stories about him like he's someone like maybe worse than the Tom.

00:38:04
Speaker 3: But you were telling me I didn't know, like his dad didn't let him have like candy or friend.

00:38:08
Speaker 4: He had a very strict regimen in like high school, like didn't eat candy, didn't have a lot of social interactions. It was like working out and protein and obviously worked out for him.

00:38:17
Speaker 3: Actually, now I'm thinking about it. I had a dumb question to him too, Shannon. We're talking about Travis Kelcey, and I was like, do you think you could handle dating somebody that famous? And then when it was Overdre was like, he dates somebody that famous?

00:38:33
Speaker 4: Yes, he's Miss Universe.

00:38:38
Speaker 3: Yeah I think I could handle it, and he laughed and I remember thinking, oh, he must date.

00:38:42
Speaker 4: As soon as we got done, Matt was like, does he dating one? I was like, yeah, miss Universe.

00:38:47
Speaker 3: But I was asking him like like I'd never heard of him. He was He was great too, though, that would be kind of like somebody, if somebody was dating to Breda Carpenter, I'd be like, you think you can handle Taylor Swift.

00:38:57
Speaker 4: I'll admit I got lost in uh, Christian McCaffrey's I snapped out of it, though I caught myself.

00:39:02
Speaker 3: He does sound pretty.

00:39:03
Speaker 4: There's one other person in this room though, that I think was not just just the women that were Phil and McCaffrey.

00:39:08
Speaker 3: I think there's a picture of Billy staring at Christian McCaffrey like he wanted to give that ring to him. There's a picture of you. There's a picture Mario took of you staring into Christian McCaffrey's eyes that is very much like you are you You're a Fayette, I was. I am.

00:39:29
Speaker 5: He's probably the best, one of the best players in the league right now, so I was a little a little starstruck.

00:39:34
Speaker 3: Me, like a Oli pop.

00:39:36
Speaker 5: It's probably never had a soda in his life, so this may be the perfect sponsorship for him.

00:39:41
Speaker 4: I did wonder when he was like talking about coke and other soft drinks and how this is better.

00:39:45
Speaker 3: Part of me is like, have you had one ever? I bet he hasn't. I bet he hasn't. It's if you listen to the interviews, you'll notice in the last question of every interview, I have to ask them about why they're there. And it's so hard and it's not natural. It's not natural. You go, okay, well, now that we've been talking about football, what tell me about Ollie Pop? Like, there's no natural way to do that. The best is with Bryce Young. They brought another top.

00:40:12
Speaker 4: Billy is in a chair, and if video comes out, Billy just turns into the CEO of Big Brothers Big Sister.

00:40:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't address it up, just like they made Billy it up so that the CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters could come here. Tell yeah, if you're watching a video, Billy just disappears either and he becomes the CEO of Big Brothers, Big Sisters.

00:40:34
Speaker 2: And then he's just have you asked anybody if they know Ryan? Have you told you know the whole Ryan?

00:40:41
Speaker 3: I have it. I have it because I just it hasn't felt. It's it's very rushed. I mean, you have like ten minutes with these people and then they pull Christian McCaffrey and then there's Price Young and like like it's hard to even have time to breathe, because it's just like you're like, Okay, here's another person. Here's another person, and a lot of them.

00:40:57
Speaker 4: We're talking to Christian McCaffrey, but like Bryce Young's at the bottom the steps waiting and it's like there's they're wait.

00:41:02
Speaker 3: I mean, they're right there. So like, what are you gonna do?
