00:03:39
Speaker 2: Three conference free cords in Nashville.

00:03:41
Speaker 5: Right. I don't know what you're doing, but I'm sure you're.

00:03:43
Speaker 2: I gotta take Josiah to visit to Hanover tomorrow.

00:03:46
Speaker 5: Okay, so it's college visit. So you're gonna cry. You're gonna cry.

00:03:50
Speaker 2: I if I don't cry tomorrow, I definitely will the day he leaves. I remember when my mom and dad dropped me off at Kentucky Wesley in the first time. I sat out in the parking lot and cried. And I was an eighteen year old freshman. I was falling out there.

00:04:02
Speaker 5: I love my parents. I didn't cry. I mean, I was like, I mean, it's on your mama's birthday. I love my mom, but I knew i'd see her soon.

00:04:12
Speaker 2: You know what I mean. She cried, didn't she?

00:04:14
Speaker 5: Oh? Yeah, she chanted the GPA that she needed me to have as she walked out the door for me to keep my scholarship. She and my friend Tall's mom, because we had the same scholarship, they chanted the GPA. I think we had to keep a three five. And they chanted three five as they walked out.

00:04:32
Speaker 2: Three point five three point five's. And then they get in the car and they probably boohoo.

00:04:37
Speaker 5: They then they probably yeah, they probably cried. One person writes Matt, I agreed with what you said. I was waiting to be mad, but I didn't, And so nice job. Well good, I know that. I'm glad you were waiting to be mad, but they didn't get mad. What are you looking at me like that?

00:04:52
Speaker 2: For? It's because our audience has definitely split.

00:04:56
Speaker 5: What does that mean?

00:04:58
Speaker 2: I mean, we got some people that are like gonna be mad at us for what we say, you know, the people that are gonna agree with what we say?

00:05:04
Speaker 5: Yeah, but my view is always the same. There's not any topic we talk about that like, you're not gonna I mean, people disagree when I say I don't like Burger King and you don't get mad. So why would you get mad if I said I don't like Trump?

00:05:20
Speaker 2: They always what's well?

00:05:21
Speaker 5: But it shouldn't be that important. When I spoke to the Farmers Association, You think those people agreed with me politically? No? You think the Kentucky Farmers Association? No, But I was At one point I even said I think most of you disagree with me, and they clapped, yes we do. Did I get mad at him liberal?

00:05:45
Speaker 2: Yes we do?

00:05:46
Speaker 5: And did I get mad at him? No? No, they were completely kind to me. That's what that's that's what makes this show great. And when people say, don't talk about it, no, just get used to occasionally hearing things you disagree with, it's okay. And speaking of things I disagree with, what is with Seth Greenberg? What is his deal? Okay? What is his deal? Why do he and Jay Williams feel like they need to tell us how to think about Cal.

00:06:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, why do they feel the need He's because he's a CAL supporter.

00:06:23
Speaker 5: How do we You had Jay Williams say on Saturday something to the effect of, yes, Arkansas struggling, Col's behind. Part of it is because BBN complained so much about him.

00:06:35
Speaker 2: Basically, what that's got nothing to do with Lark's got nothing to.

00:06:39
Speaker 5: Do with it, right, and we don't. We're our name is Bennett and we are not. It's true. Now, then Seth Greenberg says something like, you know, Kentucky fans should worry about their team. Shut up. How are you supposed to expect us to not have an opinion about the coach who was here and left us for a team in the conference? Stop and Seth a message. None of us are going to change our behavior based on you. You're not one of us.

00:07:21
Speaker 3: Right, We should have him on tomorrow and interview him. We should do that.

00:07:26
Speaker 5: He won't come on, won't. But like, first of all, Seth two years ago at the UK Kansas game two years ago, came up to me and he and I had always had a good relationship, had always been nice to each other. He'd been on the show he'd hosted this shit right. He came up to me. They were here for game day and he I went up to him, like, ready to do the bro hug thing, Shannon, where you give the hand and then you whatever. Yeah, And he came up to me and he was like, why why are you Why are you talking about Cal like this? And I'm like, what do you mean? And he goes, why are you talking about Cal like this? I thought you were on his side and I was like, I am on his side. We stink like we're not We've not been as good. He's behind on the offense. And he's like, I just can't believe you'd say all this, and he we had been friends forever. He just completely dismissed me. And he has texted me in the last year and a half pretty nasty stuff.

00:08:27
Speaker 3: I've seen it.

00:08:29
Speaker 5: Pretty nasty stuff based on nothing over than the things I've said on the air about Cal, which, as people who know have listened, is not to be. This is a dude who was my friend, and you are mad at me because I have a different opinion. Well, here's the thing, Seth. Guess what I was right. Everything I said was correct, and yet now you want to tell us, you know, worry about your team. We had to listen to people tell us that Kentucky basketball was going to go down because Cal was gone. Well, guess what, we were right and they were wrong. And you don't get to tell us to quit because we were right and you were wrong.

00:09:08
Speaker 2: Period. Yeah, don't tell us how to feel, don't tell us how to act, don't tell us how to react. To watch our old coach that took us to a national championship leave us and go to a rival in the conference.

00:09:19
Speaker 5: I'll listen, you know, like Tom Leech could say to me, Matt, I think this or that, and I might disagree with Tom, but you know what, Shannon, I'll listen to Tom, Yeah, because he's one of us. Sure, I'll listen to Jack, Yes, he's one of us. I listen to Oscar, he's one of us. I'm not going to listen to Seth Greenberg tell me how to be a Kentucky fan, and our fan base shouldn't listen either. You're not You can't tell me how to be in BBN, you aren't one of us.

00:09:52
Speaker 2: You are a Cal fan.

00:09:53
Speaker 5: You get to be I mean, you get to decide what Cal is you're a caw fan, but you're not a Kentucky fan, so stop telling us how to.

00:10:04
Speaker 2: He's such a cow apologist. He's losing respectability when you're trying to support the guy. When we all can see what's happening over there.

00:10:12
Speaker 5: You know what's funny, Shannon, he'll critique col and you know what, he'll say the exact same stuff I was saying for two years. He said, you know, I think it's I'm not sure if he's putting, if the time is the same, like, he'll give it the same critiques. And two years ago when I said it, he yelled at me and Reperina.

00:10:31
Speaker 4: Him blaming Cal losing at Arkansas and Kentucky fans. It's just it's unbelievable, strange taste, so lame and the fat.

00:10:41
Speaker 5: He also said, well, look, the roster isn't great, and it was funny. Jay Billis came on right after him and said, the roster's fine. He's like, it's not a perfect mix, but they got players.

00:10:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they do have they do have players. We all thought going into the season they'd be one of the top four teams in the conference.

00:10:57
Speaker 5: Cal took John L. Davis from a guy that took Florida Atlantic to the Final four last year everage like twenty five points a game, and he can't even make a shot. Yeah, that's on col right.

00:11:12
Speaker 2: The system they're coaching.

00:11:15
Speaker 5: So Seth, I mean, you know, I got nothing to get Seth personally, but the stuff he says is ridiculous at this point, right, it just is.

00:11:24
Speaker 2: I Like I said, don't tell us how we can we're supposed to feel, you know, just because you're a cal apologist. Don't tell us that we can't be watching. Well, I'll have a watchful, liya. Well what's going on there? When he's got not just cal our assistant coaches, our players, our recruits. Heckt even took our student manager for crying out loud.

00:11:42
Speaker 5: You were mad they took the student.

00:11:44
Speaker 2: I see racer Rott sitting behind a bench, and I'm.

00:11:46
Speaker 5: Like, followed you somebody? He went to Dunbar, didn't he? I went to Lafayette. So he went to Lafayette. So is that is that what makes you mad? Like he's a Lexington kid. Yeah, and you too, you took If I was a racer rid, I'd be upset, Shannon, because you know, I grew up at Lafayette.

00:11:59
Speaker 3: You he didn't hold him hostage. He didn't have.

00:12:05
Speaker 5: Boy, Shannon has no sympathy.

00:12:07
Speaker 3: He too, like you throw them in the.

00:12:09
Speaker 5: Back of nothing, like, Shannon, is there anyone on earth that you have sympathy for? Yes, plenty of just not anyone that makes their own decisions. Yeah.

00:12:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, Again, this is sport, so I don't I have.

00:12:23
Speaker 5: Yeah, I understand. Yeah, so race a rot. Here's the problem. If I was right, I went to Lafayette High School. I'm a Lexington kid. I went to UK and now my diploma is gonna say Arkansas.

00:12:36
Speaker 2: That's true. I didn't think about that, no.

00:12:40
Speaker 5: Like would you?

00:12:41
Speaker 6: I mean if you went three years to the school of Like, I don't think dream school. I don't think people think about that in the portal, Like what if you, like think about the kid that goes to Yale for three years and then transfers to like, you know, Mississippi State.

00:12:56
Speaker 5: It's like, dude, just would rather just go ahead and get Yale degree? You think that Mississippi State degree is gonna look good on your wall and have them many years?

00:13:05
Speaker 4: Couldn't you just like maybe come up three credit short go back to Yell for like one class and graduate that way.

00:13:12
Speaker 5: Yeah, you probably could. You probably could. I don't know, I don't know what the rules are. I just tell you this. When I see people are transfer for Yale, I'd be like, I ain't leave until I get that degree. That's right, I'll do the grand year transfer, but I ain't getting out of this school until I get that degree.

00:13:26
Speaker 2: That's gonna help me in the rest of my life. Get that yell degree.

00:13:30
Speaker 5: What do you think of the National Championship plans night?

00:13:32
Speaker 2: It was, you know, end up being a really good game. Ohio State just kind of ran out, but what was you know, blowing them out early? Then Notre Dame made the big push in the second half where it was a one possession game there at the end kind of ended up making it. That's why I got so tense in here.

00:13:44
Speaker 5: It didn't feel like it was ever close though. It didn't like there was never a part part in the game where I thought that that Ohio State wasn't gonna win.

00:13:52
Speaker 2: Did you you know, even when they cut it to eight, did it cross your mind that they could still get a chance.

00:13:57
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, but like I still felt like Ohio States a lot better.

00:14:02
Speaker 2: Oh they were much better. So okay, that brings up the argument again. Do you think the fact they won the national championship attributed to they lost to Michigan Like our ninety six team and.

00:14:12
Speaker 5: Twenty they were the best they and Oregon were the best team. They played Oregon in the quarterfinals, they beat them, so they won, right, that was it?

00:14:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know you don't think the losing the Michigan played into it at all? Their run?

00:14:25
Speaker 5: No, I mean football is a little different because the games matter more but regular season. But no, I mean they were the best team. Like, they were definitely the best. They probably have twice as many guys as was gonna get drafted from Notre Day, Right, So I mean that's why they won. Marcus Freeman is gonna like he's there Notre Dame's back, no doubt, no doubt. Ohio State deserved to win. Uh. The delivery goods at door dash have opened up the delivery radius for Red State Barbecue. You can get delivered to your house. I just did this a few days ago. You can get appetizer sandwiches played sides via door Dash and if you're in the Georgetown Road area, Red State Barbecue is the best barbecue throughout Kentucky. You can go get platters for your football games, basketball games, try redstatebbq dot com or if you need catering redstatebbq dot com. I love me some Red State barbecue. We'll take a break, very backs KSR worker back at his Kentucky sports radio. If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven, one person right to Matt. When I saw sas tweet and he said the real BBN can cheer for their team with real on in caps, I thought that was aimed at you. What did you think? Yes, that was a tweet for that was a tweet, without question, that was aimed I know him. He because that was a Cow line. No, I'm serious, that was a When Cow was here, he would tell people the real Kentucky are for me, the fake Kentucky fan. I mean he wouldn't say fake, but his point was real Kentucky fans loved Caw. I had influence on the fake fan. That's what zer belief. So when he said real all in caps, he's talking about me and people who like KSR. That's what he's talking about. I know that's what he's talking about. And he can say he's not. When he used the word real, that was Cal's language, which means he got that from Cal.

00:16:29
Speaker 2: That was what Cal used to say.

00:16:32
Speaker 5: That was what drove me so crazy about Cal being like that, is he would act like I wasn't the fan because I thought maybe he should adapt when I know I'm gonna be here when he's gone. Seth saying that means that's what he's talking about.

00:16:51
Speaker 2: What what does Seth expect you expect you to do during that last couple of years of the Cal era.

00:16:56
Speaker 5: These college basketball is the only sport where the announcers will not criticize the coaches. They don't. They don't they turn on the NFL or turn on the NBA or even turn on college football like they will complain about decisions coaches make, et cetera. These college basketball people won't know why most of them are people who are friends with the coaches. Yeah right, so, Seth Greenberg and I love Jimmy Dykes, I loved I like j Billis, those guys Dick Vitale, who I adore. None of those guys are gonna criticize the coaches because they're friends with them. Can't be objective, so we don't get real analysis from them because they will not. And if you don't criticize the coaches, then you're left the only people that criticize the is the players, which is weird. You'll criticize these kids and you won't criticize the coach. That's strange, isn't it It is?

00:17:52
Speaker 2: And you're right, it's the only sport where I think that happens, where you're so afraid to criticize other coaches in the business.

00:18:00
Speaker 5: That does not happen. We're shannan in the other sport. But in college basketball, none of these dudes will criticize the coaches, none of them.

00:18:08
Speaker 4: I think it's strange too. I agree with you. I mean, I know they're friends, but at some point you have to separate. Okay, we're talking about not him as a person, we're talking about this person as a coach.

00:18:17
Speaker 2: And then when you do it, you're the bad guy.

00:18:21
Speaker 5: Yes, you're the bad guy because you dare say, you know these people like like I hear Seth go, Well, if the players would just work hard enough, they wouldn't be zero to five. That's ludicrous. That's they're getting.

00:18:37
Speaker 2: They get They got down eighteen to two. Let me tell you some about Arkansas.

00:18:41
Speaker 5: They don't just lose, They get killed in these games. You know, they've been down what I think I saw, They've been down fourteen in every game they've played.

00:18:50
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. Well, like I said, they've got two offensive threats and one of them is a guy that was here that we said a couple times last year. You can't make him your main offensive thread. He mean's a good player, he's just not your main offensive threat.

00:19:04
Speaker 5: So let me explain to you, Shannon, what happened here at this bar last night during the national title. Okay, all right, so we do this thing.

00:19:10
Speaker 2: There were fifty six people that qualified.

00:19:12
Speaker 5: We do this thing where it's four thousand dollars from Country Road Spirits. We start with fifty six, and I asked questions like how many rushing yards will Notre Dame get in the first quarter? How many rushing yards Ohio State? And we go from fifty six to halftime. Shannon, we're down to thirty, right, then we get down to fifteen, then we get down to twelve, then seven, and then it gets down to four. Yeah, so during the fourth quarter, we're down to four people. One of them is a kid who walked in here and the person who was supposed to have his table didn't show up, and he was the next one through the door, so he got to play.

00:19:47
Speaker 2: I didn't know that. I didn't know that it happened.

00:19:49
Speaker 5: You talk about you just go to watch the game, and next thing you know, you got a chance to win four thousand dollars.

00:19:53
Speaker 2: For a good night.

00:19:54
Speaker 5: One of them was an older guy at the bar who was by himself, fine fell itself and playing solo. One of them was Mason Wolf, former UK football player, yep with helping him on the side. And then one of them was a kid who's twenty one years old who two years ago Shannon came in second. In this very context. Okay, so four thousand dollars is on the line. I look at the four of them and I say, okay, if anyone wants six hundred dollars, you can go home right now and I'll just give you six hundred dollars. None of them took it.

00:20:31
Speaker 6: Four nos, really four to see would you have Shannon, would you have taken the six hundred dollars?

00:20:37
Speaker 2: I guaranteed, min I thought you would.

00:20:39
Speaker 5: You would have taken it too. You couldn't so Here's here's the thing.

00:20:43
Speaker 2: If three of.

00:20:43
Speaker 5: Them took it and one of them didn't, the one that didn't would have gotten the rest of the money. So you gotta think about that. Yeah, they would have gotten twenty two hundred dollars. None of them took it, So now it's four thousand dollars one way or the other. And the last quay it was thirty one to fifteen. Notre Dame had the ball. I said, how many yards are they gonna go on this drive? On this drive, on this drive? How many yards? They each made a gas if you remember Notre Dame scores. So the guy who guessed the most, he guessed fifty. Uh Shandon. He won five four thousand dollars last night from Country Roads.

00:21:22
Speaker 3: Wow, not bad. Not bad for a trip to a bar to watch the game.

00:21:25
Speaker 5: You just go to a bar to watch game. He won four. So he came in second a few years ago and won some money, and then four thousand dollars this time.

00:21:32
Speaker 2: So if you think it's kind of a fluke, I think he just kind of made the argument. It's not a fluke. You got a little skill for finished second two years ago and to win it last night. So I think he proved proved some people wrong.

00:21:43
Speaker 5: Now here's what's cool. We're gonna do this again in February. I'm gonna pick two nights and we're gonna do it for college basketball. Nice. I'm gonna look and at seven o'clock, whatever games are on TV, everybody has to pick the scores of those games.

00:21:57
Speaker 2: Huh.

00:21:58
Speaker 5: And then we'll eliminate people. And then we'll do the same thing for the nine o'clock games, and we will give away similar money coming up here in a few weeks. So I would say to you, you may have seen on Instagram. I was like, does anybody want to do this? And we had people volunteer because some people canceled because of the eyes. But I was surprised. I thought a ton of people were like, it's four thousand dollars. And it was also fun.

00:22:21
Speaker 2: It was a national championship game. He watched the game. Eat here, have fun.

00:22:25
Speaker 5: It was back and people get into it all.

00:22:28
Speaker 2: Like I said, the early part of the night, there was a lot of energy, a lot of excitement, but boy, when it got down to the final seven and then the final four, he got really tense. You would announce the category like whatever it was, and then silence.

00:22:38
Speaker 5: If you would have taken the six hundred dollars.

00:22:40
Speaker 2: I'm out of six hundred?

00:22:41
Speaker 5: Do you take the six hundred?

00:22:42
Speaker 3: I would have taken it. That's money, Mario.

00:22:44
Speaker 5: Would you have taken the six hundred dollars? So all of you would have taken it, not one of the four people playing took it.

00:22:50
Speaker 2: I knew Maxi's team, Maxic will be like, no, we're all in. I mean, I knew that was gonna be happened.

00:22:55
Speaker 5: I thought the guy at the bar by himself would have taken it. Ye, he was there by himself. He wasn't gonna have to split the money with anybody.

00:23:00
Speaker 2: He had a great strategy. He went low every time, and that got him pushed through to the end.

00:23:05
Speaker 5: Well, anyway, congrats too. I think his name was Carter.

00:23:08
Speaker 2: Carter Brown.

00:23:08
Speaker 5: Carter Brown, twenty one years old, walked out of here with four thousand dollars last night during the National Championship.

00:23:15
Speaker 2: When he got second. Did he get nothing that day?

00:23:18
Speaker 5: No? That year they agreed to split. Okay, so he got some amount of okay? Hey five nine, twenty two eighty seven. Actually, why did I keep giving you that? We're not gonna take all stick out some other stuff to get to it's KSR. TJ.

00:23:36
Speaker 4: Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.

00:23:39
Speaker 3: Here's Matt Jones.

00:23:41
Speaker 5: Welcome back Tucky Sports Radio. I just posted a cool video. It's from when Mark Post was or Mark Post, Mark Pope was with the Indiana Pacers. He blocks Kobe Bryant.

00:23:51
Speaker 2: Saw that kind of cool.

00:23:53
Speaker 5: Eat it, Kobe just bloxing, Get that out of here.

00:23:57
Speaker 2: You know, Larry Bird loved Mark Pope and kept them on the Pacers probably longer than most gms would have. I think it just because he liked Mark Pope so much.

00:24:05
Speaker 5: I think that, Yeah, he loved him, thought he was thought he was a lot of fun.

00:24:09
Speaker 2: And uh we went up and did a story with Mark one time with Twentel eighteen when he was with the Pacers, and we're like, you know, you know you don't you don't play much? You know, what do you do during the games? You know, some kind of question like that. He's like, well, like tonight, I'm gonna go out early and I'm gonna talk a little smack to Michael Jordan during warm ups. Yeah, I could see him doing that.

00:24:28
Speaker 5: What person writes, Matt, tell your mom happy birthday from me and my wife Laura. Your lucky son to have such a nice mother regards Bob and Jamestown.

00:24:37
Speaker 2: Nice.

00:24:38
Speaker 5: See that's nice of you, Bob, But I don't like that you did that because my mom is sometimes saying shann and she thinks I'm too mean to Bob and Jamestown. And now that's just gonna make it to where she's gonna say that more because he said.

00:24:51
Speaker 4: He's gonna like Bob and Jamestown more than you, which she probably already does.

00:24:56
Speaker 3: Year old though that's.

00:24:57
Speaker 5: Not nice, like Bob and Jamestown more than eat.

00:25:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, come on.

00:25:01
Speaker 5: Shit, I mean I don't think that's true. I don't think she likes Bob and james Own more than she likes me say that.

00:25:07
Speaker 3: No, I didn't mean that. I mean she likes Bob better than you like Bob.

00:25:11
Speaker 5: Oh Okay, Yeah, no, that's true. There's no doubt that that's true. I mean, I don't hate Bob and Jamestown.

00:25:17
Speaker 2: He's fine, just like the harassing once in a while.

00:25:20
Speaker 5: Yeah, thanks for good radio. By the way, for people who think I don't criticize my side in politics. Look at how much I criticized Bob and Jamesown. He's on my side. I told you my parents are gonna they're gonna eat Knoxville. Like I said, I know them, they're gonna eat it like four thirty. What is the age that you start contemplating having dinner before five o'clock? Because my parents are at that age.

00:25:48
Speaker 2: It's gotta be in the seventies. I mean it's once you get seventy, you're like, yup, we can eat early. Get the early bird special?

00:25:54
Speaker 5: What is the earth? I always hear the early bird special? What hours are the early bird special? Is it FDA to what six? Probably four to five, three to five? Wow?

00:26:07
Speaker 2: Wow, three o'clock.

00:26:08
Speaker 5: That's pretty early bird.

00:26:10
Speaker 2: But do you remember where do we stop at the world's largest buffet? And oh it was full and we went really early. It was like at three o'clock early and it was packed.

00:26:22
Speaker 5: I will say I have found myself starting to eat it like five forty five.

00:26:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, though, I mean like you eat when you're hungry, right.

00:26:33
Speaker 5: I mean there was a time I would only eat at like seven thirty.

00:26:37
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:26:38
Speaker 5: But you know they say you want what's the you need to hours where you don't eat for fasting.

00:26:43
Speaker 2: You want to eat before seven, like.

00:26:45
Speaker 5: You want to eat as early as you can because then so I eat breakfast at like nine to fifteen. If you eat dinner by seven fifteen, you'll have fourteen hours of fasting. And that's actually good, good for your body. I think I don't know what I'm talking about, but I've heard that.

00:27:02
Speaker 2: I think that's you know, the fasting is really popular with people trying to be smart with what they eat and how they eat. But I know you're not. You're not supposed to eat, they say, like after seven o'clock, pull your body to digest it.

00:27:13
Speaker 5: I can do that. I'm fine not eating, but I will tell can I tell you the hardest thing for me to do? And this happened last night too. I don't know if you're like this. When I'm at this bar after nine o'clock and I pull out of this parking lot, do you know how hard it is for me not to go get an M and M blizzard.

00:27:35
Speaker 2: Because it's right there, It's right there, right in our parking lot.

00:27:38
Speaker 5: And oftentimes, like when I host trivia, which I have trivia Thursday night, so like you want to call soon and get your resermetion, I got trivia Thursday night. But when I pull out, when Trivia's over at nine o'clock and I pull out of this driveway, it is so hard shanning for me not to take a rite and go up there and be like, I'll just get a small M and M blizzard. That can't be that bad for you.

00:28:00
Speaker 4: Yeah, First of all, I'm more of a Snicker's blizzard guy.

00:28:03
Speaker 3: But to each their own, the blizzards that is.

00:28:06
Speaker 5: I mean, who doesn't like a blizzard nine o'clock.

00:28:09
Speaker 2: Maybe not the best thing for your diet.

00:28:11
Speaker 5: Exactly, But is there anyone listening to this show who doesn't like a blizzard?

00:28:16
Speaker 2: No, there's one flavor of blizzard you would like.

00:28:18
Speaker 5: Whether you like M and M or you like Snickers. Larry likes Heath blizzards. Yeah, the fruit ones. Mario, do you like blizzards? Yeah? I mean there's and it's the and it's right there. If it wasn't, if it wasn't right there. And even though I know there are six spots that if you park in during game days old Toe.

00:28:40
Speaker 2: We still want to support the woman that runs it is not very nice.

00:28:44
Speaker 5: Even though I know that, Shannon, when I pull out, I can't, I can't help.

00:28:48
Speaker 4: I never never think about a blizzard, But if it's right there in your face, it's kind of hard to not go.

00:28:53
Speaker 3: It's right there.

00:28:55
Speaker 5: My bears hired a new coach. His name Ben Johnson.

00:29:01
Speaker 2: You like to hire, Yes, like it a lot.

00:29:04
Speaker 5: You know, we got a quarterback that might be really good. Yes, we need to figure it out. He's the best coordinator in the NFL. Got to give this chance a dude to succeed this quarterback. Yeah, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work, But you have a once in a lifetime talent there. You got to at least give him all the tools to try. So it feels like you gotta do it.

00:29:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to hire an offensive guy for this, for your quarterback, for Caleb Willim. You need somebody in the house that's gonna work to his strengths. And this guy apparently was the best. He is the best. Right now.

00:29:35
Speaker 5: It seems like did you watch the NFL playoff games?

00:29:38
Speaker 2: I watched a lot of them.

00:29:39
Speaker 5: Yeah, what did you think?

00:29:40
Speaker 2: I love it playing in the snow. You know it snowed of Philadelphia and snowed in Buffalo. I just love that.

00:29:44
Speaker 5: I you too. I love watching him in the snow. Myron Myron on the NFL Show, he hates the games or in the snow. It makes him mad because he says it's not real football because the teams don't get to be themselves. But I completely disagree. Yeah. I mean both those games Sunday were in the snow, and Shannon, I thought they were more entertaining because they were in the city.

00:30:06
Speaker 4: To me than is football out in the elements when you're playing inside of a dome that's at seventy two degrees. To me, that's fake football out in the snow is what I want to see.

00:30:15
Speaker 5: I totally agree with you. And it gives incentives for these teams that play in the cold to you know, to get home field. Yeah, right, like Buffalo. If they get home field, they have a real advantage. Yes, Kansas City last year, you may remember they played Miami and Miami looked like they didn't want to be anywhere near there. That is an incentive for Kansas City to get home field. I think about Detroit, like the only team that lost was Detroit. Had Detroit been playing outside there was snow, maybe they would have won, Maybe they beat Washington if they're actually out in the snow instead of in their dome. So I think the snow is very very cool. Think about the many years ago, the Tuck game with.

00:31:03
Speaker 2: Brady, Yeah, the Raiders.

00:31:06
Speaker 5: It might it hadn't have been easier for the Patriots playing in the snow than it was the Raiders coming from California. Right.

00:31:12
Speaker 2: One of the announcers this weekend made a point to say, it's the snow. Games are easier for the offense because they know what they're gonna do. Defense they don't know what they're gonna do, so that's where they lose their footing. They kind of slide a little more. But the offense, it's easier for them in the snow.

00:31:27
Speaker 5: Yeah, it makes perfect sense to me. You also, during that saw why you can't have Brady doing these games. I don't know if you if you heard about this, but Brady, you know he's part owner of the Raiders. Yeah, as part of his rules, there are certain things he can't talk about. And Detroit's offensive coordinator Ben Johnson was choosing between Chicago and Oakland as to where he was gonna go Brady was not allowed to say his name during the broadcast.

00:31:55
Speaker 2: And they couldn't even say his name because.

00:31:56
Speaker 5: He might hire him. Huh So, even though this offensive coordinator who's one of the biggest stories of the game and Detroit's offense is trying to get going, he couldn't say his name, and they showed he said everyone else's name. He said the defensive coordinator, he said, the coach. He said this, but then he had to refer to him as the coach. It's kind of lame, Shannon, don't you think that, Like he's the announcer, you got to be able to say the dude's name.

00:32:22
Speaker 4: Brady's got a lot of restrictions. I mean, not only can't criticize the officials, how can you.

00:32:28
Speaker 5: Can't criticize the refs and Troy Aateman he criticized the refs during the Mahomes Like when when Mahomes got the guy got the targeting, he went off on the refs about how bad the rest were. Brady's not allowed to do that. It just makes it to where he can't be as good as his job.

00:32:43
Speaker 2: And it's a shame because I think Brady has gotten a lot better. I didn't know he had that restriction on him. In the de retort, how are you gonna.

00:32:52
Speaker 5: Let a guy be an announcer that can't criticize the rest that's part of your job. Did you think they were cheating for Mahomes.

00:32:59
Speaker 2: I don't think they purposely are cheating. But I think he gets a favorable whistle sometimes.

00:33:04
Speaker 5: I think he's also good, Like he knows how to draw the calls.

00:33:08
Speaker 4: Sure one is about to get hit out of bounds, he stopped.

00:33:13
Speaker 3: He stopped so that he could get pushed and then out. Yeah, he just draw.

00:33:19
Speaker 5: I thought the first one was the wrong call, the one where he's in the pocket. The second one they did hit him in the helmet. They did so, Like I know people didn't like that, but they did. That's the way the rule is, man. Whether that's a good rule or not, that is the rule that passed though. He threw to Kelsey, like that's why those two dudes are great.

00:33:37
Speaker 2: Dude, he's a Hall of Famer.

00:33:38
Speaker 5: And let me ask you this, how does Kelsey stay open? Shit?

00:33:44
Speaker 2: I would time, How does he always open?

00:33:47
Speaker 5: They don't have anybody else yet Kelsey is always open? How is that possible? They did?

00:33:51
Speaker 2: They disguise him so much where they you know, they he breaks late, he'll block and then he'll break. You know, they do things like that to try to get him open.

00:33:58
Speaker 5: What do you think about Taylor Swift and Caitlyn Clark next to each other like you talk about a power duo there?

00:34:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt.

00:34:05
Speaker 5: Are those the two biggest women of twenty twenty four? Ply, No, you're snarling, But Taylor is certainly one of them, is I mean, Caitlin may have been certainly the biggest female sports star twenty twenty four.

00:34:18
Speaker 2: She was in probably more headlines than any other female athlete total. So yeah, I think that's probably what. I can't think of another one.

00:34:25
Speaker 5: Yeah, I can't either. All right? From Draft Kings. You go to Draft Kings, use my promo COKSR. Bet five get tw hundred dollars in bonus bets. Get signed up, by the way for NCAA tournament coming up here soon. They're gonna have some amazing stuff. Bet five you get twohundred dollars from Draft Kings promo COKSR. Let's do our SEC games tonight. Vandy is at Alabama. Do the Doors have any chance of winning the second round?

00:34:47
Speaker 4: I want to say yes, but I think they're gonna get blown out tonight.

00:34:50
Speaker 5: Yeah. I'm trying to do Toovandy coming off when Alabama seems to be getting their mojo, I kind of feel like Alabama critism.

00:34:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, Alabama's kind of finding it, seemed like, and I think they're gonna be as good as we thought they were going into the season.

00:35:01
Speaker 5: Mississippi State is at Tennessee. Tennessee has not looked like Tennessee in the last couple of weeks. Do they hold serve at home.

00:35:08
Speaker 2: If it was in Mississippi State, I might take the Bulldogs, but the fact that in Knoxville, I gotta take Tennessee.

00:35:13
Speaker 5: Yeah.

00:35:13
Speaker 4: I think Tennessee they haven't quite figured it out yet, but they're still good enough.

00:35:17
Speaker 3: I think to win this game tonight.

00:35:18
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go Tennessee. It's gonna be interesting when Kentucky plays Tennessee. You want to talk about contrast the style. We can't stop anybody and they can't score.

00:35:25
Speaker 2: They can't score, you.

00:35:27
Speaker 5: Know, I mean, it's uh, this might be Rick Barnes's best defensive team and his worst offensive team. They only have one guy, I mean, Lanier's like the only dude that can score.

00:35:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's good.

00:35:38
Speaker 5: And then finally Missouri is at Texas. Missouri is ranked this year. They were just I want to think about Missouri. They were zero to eighteen last year in the conference and they are now ranked. That's a pretty amazing change.

00:35:50
Speaker 2: People talk about Pope meeting coach of the year. This guy is gonna be in the come. I mean that too.

00:35:55
Speaker 5: But they switched coaches. Missouri did not switch coaches.

00:35:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, same guy is.

00:36:00
Speaker 5: The same guy that was oh in eighteen.

00:36:02
Speaker 2: Missouri's good. I mean, I know it's on the road, but they beat you know, they not just what they're doing in the car. They beat Kansas or at one point earlier this year. I'm going to Missouri.

00:36:10
Speaker 3: Yeah the road.

00:36:10
Speaker 4: Texas has struggled, so it's going to the So was Oklahoma by the way, but I'm gonna think I think that Missouri wednes tonight.

00:36:16
Speaker 5: This is the classic flip. I'm riding big on Texas tonight. People give too much credit to a team that wins at home then they go on the road. They this is a game. This is my pick of the knock. This is the game. Let's see Texas is a Texas is the favorite by two and a half. By the way, this is this is a classic everybody Jones lock. Well, I'm not gonna put it as a lot, but I like Texas a lot here.

00:36:41
Speaker 2: So I'm betting everything on Missouri.

00:36:43
Speaker 5: Shut up, we'll take it. Break. You're right back this Kaso, welcome back, Take you sports radio. If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. Final segment. Remember my trivia is Thursday night, So get in here and get ready. I'm looking forward to having uh everybody here. Text machine seven seven two four five two five four. Seems like everybody agrees with me on blizzards. One person says, I have an aunt that hates blizzards, but we also don't know much about her. I can't understand that would make me skeptical of her if she doesn't like them.

00:37:13
Speaker 2: Like I say, there's got to be a flavor that everybody can like when it comes to blizzards.

00:37:17
Speaker 5: By the way, shout out to these people from Flemingsburg. That's quiet baby. That's my kind of baby.

00:37:22
Speaker 2: Right there, as this made a peep.

00:37:24
Speaker 5: Just hanging out, not making a lot of noise, doing their things watching basketball.

00:37:28
Speaker 3: So when you say have a good baby. That's what you mean that kind.

00:37:30
Speaker 5: Of Yeah, when I say, that's exactly right. When I say have a good baby, that's what I'm talking about. One person writes, Matt, don't you think Travis Kelsey has gotten fat? I hadn't really thought about it. But if he has, he's still good.

00:37:43
Speaker 2: Even if he's if he's picked up a little weight, doesn't matter. He's still one of the best to ever play a tight end.

00:37:48
Speaker 5: Evert And let I did something I never thought I would do on Friday afternoon. Yeah's I let Ryan Lemon spit in my face.

00:37:59
Speaker 3: Wait what?

00:38:00
Speaker 5: He literally spit into my face? And you better have enjoyed it because that will never happen again.

00:38:08
Speaker 4: Man, if that happened a couple of years ago, he would have called the cops on somebody right during COVID.

00:38:13
Speaker 5: Oh that's true.

00:38:15
Speaker 2: I gotta I gotta say this. You were a great sport. We're shooting a Super Bowl commercial for UK Federal Credit.

00:38:20
Speaker 3: Union and an involved sping in that spell.

00:38:23
Speaker 2: My first script. The script was to just do a spit take. So I spit the first take out on the floor and then Matt's like, okay, to be funny, you probably should spit on me. He had a big red puffer coat on.

00:38:34
Speaker 5: Yeah, this he's supposed to. I do something that's surprising. I won't spoil it, and he's supposed to spit like whoa, yeah, but shant between me and you. Rhyan's not a very good actor, right, So his his his spit takes. His spit takes were like Nancy Carrigan hosting Saturday Night Live. They weren't the best. And so I was like, to make this funny, you need to spit on me. And so the next time he spent, but he spit on my jacket. Yeah, and it still wasn't his. And I was like, all right, if we're gonna make this funny, you just need to spit in my face.

00:39:11
Speaker 2: Surprised everybody, Shannon, We're all had this look on our face like that, Matt just say that.

00:39:15
Speaker 5: But it's all for the product, Shannon, right, like it's for it's for the art.

00:39:20
Speaker 4: I thought you would definitely try to change that script I did. I mean like the other way. I mean the other way.

00:39:25
Speaker 5: You know. Yeah, So I felt like, okay, So then he spits my face. But here's the thing, this dude whites till I opened my mouth and he spits it in my mouth.

00:39:34
Speaker 2: He spits the water right in my mouth. It was a perfect bullseyet right in his mouth.

00:39:41
Speaker 5: So but it was funny. Yeah. No, I think it'll look good when it was on tape. But that's the only time you'll ever get that. So I just want to.

00:39:50
Speaker 2: Jason Eperson and his crew Epic Films. They could not do it fast enough after you said that because we were afraid you're gonna change your mind. Okay, it's coverybody, Okay, now do it.

00:39:58
Speaker 5: Yeah. I was trying my bass.

00:40:00
Speaker 2: You a really good word about it.

00:40:02
Speaker 5: I was trying to make it as good as good as I could. Kentucky football got another portal lineman. Yeah, another They've now gotten like eight portal offensive linemen. So here's why I think that's good. We can have a couple of them be busts and it'll be okay.

00:40:21
Speaker 2: True, we kind of had no depth the last couple of years. Now they're working on building up some depth back at the Big Blue Wall.

00:40:27
Speaker 5: Whatever else you want to say about where the football program is. They've killed the portal this year, Ryan. They have now again. We'll see if it matters. I saw we have seven teams on our schedule next year in the preseason top twenty five seven, So that's hard, but we do. I do think they did an amazing job in the.

00:40:47
Speaker 2: Port They really obviously contraint on offensive lineman and defensive linemen, and they went out and they've got some guys that look like on paper that they could be really studs here. So I'm excited to see what they do.

00:40:56
Speaker 5: Yeah, and they all are from random schools. Yeah, I mean Washington State, Western Bowling Green, New Mexico, South Dakota. I mean, it's really it's a hodgepodge of things. Do you think it works.

00:41:10
Speaker 2: They've had great success in the transfer portal up until like last year. You know, Will Levis, Ray Davis, some of these guys who are superstars like West Jones, Jock West Jung all came through the transfer portal. So surely, to goodness it last year was an off year because this on paper, like I said, looks like they've hit another home run.

00:41:28
Speaker 5: Yeah, I uh, I mean, you got you. It's hard because it's so strange, and I get it, but it's like you give out football news now good and everybody just shrugs it off. Because I think they're burned by how last year wins. Yeah, and it's it stinks because there's actually good news, but it's almost like people don't even want it.

00:41:50
Speaker 2: I think burned is the right word. We feel burnt from last year, and we know the next year's schedule. It's gonna be hard to even top what we did win loss wise.

00:41:58
Speaker 5: Caleb Wilson's deciding Thursday, Yeah, where are you feeling? Scuttle butt? Scoopy?

00:42:04
Speaker 2: I have no scoop scuttle butt, but I feel like Kentucky's in a really good position.

00:42:08
Speaker 5: There's one national guy though, who went one hundred percent on the record said North Carolina. Wow, he's right. Any think he's wrong.

00:42:16
Speaker 2: Some of these guys that just you know, go ahead and put it out there hoping they're there.

00:42:20
Speaker 5: It's twenty two of twenty two in his pick.

00:42:22
Speaker 2: Is he really?

00:42:23
Speaker 5: Yeah? So we'll see Don Franklin Auto dot Com. You go to Don Franklin Otto. You get your vehicles, you get your service, you get your personality. They'll give you all of it. At Don Franklin Auto dot Com. Twenty seven locations around the New used best warranties in the state. If you're going and chopping for a vehicle in Kentucky. You're not going to Don Franklin Auto dot com. I don't know what to tell you. It's Don Franklin Auto dot com. I will say that Kentucky people all still feel like they're getting but the North Carolina people feel like they're getting him too. So somebody's gonna be surprised. Yeah, I don't know who it is.

00:42:56
Speaker 2: Him and Kayden Lewis are pretty good buddies.

00:42:58
Speaker 5: We'll see hey tomorrow. Me and Shannon.

00:43:01
Speaker 3: You ready, Shannon, We'll see you then.

00:43:03
Speaker 5: All right, Okay,
