Speaker 4: Right. I have no idea where Max is. Max just disappeared for like two weeks.

00:01:40
Speaker 7: I he is.

00:01:41
Speaker 4: He like he's still in the States. Okay, Okay, he just was like, yeah, I'm gonna go away for a few weeks for a while. Yeah, but he's not there now, so I don't know where he's just left.

00:01:53
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know where he is.

00:01:55
Speaker 3: So I have an idea Seattle yet.

00:02:00
Speaker 4: Could be here. We'll just leave that there. Fine, that was you, Just for the record, Max. That was Shannon that said that, not me. A five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven on the text machine seven seven two four five two five four What person rights? Matt?

00:02:20
Speaker 6: My mom listens to this show.

00:02:22
Speaker 4: She texted me that she may turn off the second hour because she gets so mad that you and Shannon give Ryan a hard time. She thinks you're too mean to him. I'd like to know whether or not you and Shannon think you're too mean, and whether or not Ryan thinks he's too mean.

00:02:39
Speaker 3: I don't think we're too mean.

00:02:40
Speaker 6: Oh, I know Shannon's answer right there.

00:02:42
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get the a hard time because he doesn't know what he drives. Yeah, I feel like that's not like. I feel like that's common knowledge. Everybody knows what they drive.

00:02:49
Speaker 4: Ryan.

00:02:50
Speaker 6: Do you think we're too hard on you?

00:02:51
Speaker 5: No, because I get it. We're like well, like I said many times, we're just brothers man, and you just pick on each other all the time. So yeah, I'm not offended by it.

00:03:00
Speaker 4: Here's what I would say to people who say that every I don't know about. I don't know how women are with each other. I think I think women give each other a hard time too about like you know, but here's what I know about men. You get any group of men together that are good friends and you just put them and they're screwing with each other, right, right, Shanon, I mean they are. They're making fun of each other, but they do it out of love. There's making fun to be mean, and then there's making fun out of love, and there's any group of male friends that happens.

00:03:31
Speaker 6: The difference is.

00:03:32
Speaker 4: We just do it in front of you all, and like that's different and it's a little more vulnerable. But that's the thing we decided to do when we decide to be on the radio, you know, And like that's part of the trade off of doing this is that you end up being more vulnerable, but then you also get to have a really cool job and you get to talk to people on the radio. So you guys are eavesdropping on a group of friends conversations. But if you were to hear, like i'd say to this mother, first of all, thank you for listening. But if you were to hear your husband and his friends, Ryan, chances are they doing the same things to each other too.

00:04:10
Speaker 5: Yeah, they just don't have a microphone.

00:04:11
Speaker 6: In further, he just don't have a microphone in front of them, right.

00:04:14
Speaker 4: My grandfather would go to the SEC tournament with his friends, and they were all like church going people Shannon, Right, And then the moment we got to the SEC tournament, they started screwing around with each other.

00:04:25
Speaker 2: For me, it's like, you know, my way to show that I like you if I don't make fun of you, Yeah, I probably don't like you.

00:04:30
Speaker 6: Probably don't like you.

00:04:31
Speaker 4: Have I ever told you the story real quick, Shannon, about when we were When I was with my grandfather and his friends at the SEC tournament and the stripper came out at Applebee's.

00:04:40
Speaker 3: Oh god, no, I want to hear this story.

00:04:43
Speaker 4: Have you never heard that?

00:04:43
Speaker 5: I don't think I remember that all right?

00:04:46
Speaker 4: So when I was a kid, I would go to the SEC tournament with my grandfather and his friends, and the group included like the future like the mayor of Middlesbrough, like the lead singer at one of the churches, right, like this was an outstanding This was these were moral people shitting right, including my grandfather, and I was nervous around them, although they were always very nice to me. So it was like a bunch of sixty and seven year old men and me, And sometimes from like age seven to like twelve, we went to Birmingham in nineteen ninety two. I've talked about that tournament before. I still think the greatest SEC tournament of all time run right nineteen ninet people.

00:05:24
Speaker 5: A lot of people support your argument on that.

00:05:25
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're in Birmingham.

00:05:27
Speaker 4: My grandfather at the time was kind of sick and we went to a dinner and we went to Applebe's in Burt. Why well, because when you're from Middlesborough, shit, and that's big time eating right in the neighborhood. And we're all having our dinners, like eight people and this is like the kind of you know, this is the who's who of the Middlesborough business community, right, leader of the church choir, shitnon And at the table next to us as a bachelor party at Applebee's, this woman comes in and she starts stripping.

00:06:02
Speaker 5: Whoa, I'm not kidding you.

00:06:05
Speaker 4: She like comes in and does one of those like hello boys, you know, and we're sitting right next to them, and she gets down and she ends up like you know in provocative where at the Applebee's in Birmingham.

00:06:20
Speaker 3: You got a free show?

00:06:21
Speaker 5: Well, I'm twelve. Can you imagine that this is the great twelve who?

00:06:27
Speaker 4: Thought at the Birmingham Applebee's, I'd get to see that level of skin.

00:06:31
Speaker 6: Shannon, you just didn't think that was plausible.

00:06:33
Speaker 3: I've never seen that Applebee's before.

00:06:35
Speaker 4: Of course, Now the Middlesbrough men like they don't. They're kind of like they're smiling more than I thought they would.

00:06:43
Speaker 3: Of course, Well, there's still at the end of the day, I know.

00:06:46
Speaker 6: And this doesn't happen in Middlesborough. I don't think a lot either.

00:06:49
Speaker 4: Well, the manager comes over after like thirty or forty five seconds and tells the woman, you can't be doing this at the Applebee's in Birmingham during the SEC tournament.

00:07:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's.

00:07:01
Speaker 4: Like it was like something in wrestling, like he puts an overcoat over and takes her out the door. Did you Yeah, it was like a big trench coade, like you're gonna have to go. And I remember my grandfather and his friend I won't say which one because his family might be listening. They both looked at me and just said, don't tell your mother, And of course I didn't for a long time. I eventually eventually told him, you know, you're twelve years old. That's part of why Ryan, I say the nineteen ninety two SEC tournament was the best one.

00:07:33
Speaker 5: Now we know the real reason.

00:07:34
Speaker 4: It wasn't just Jamal Mashville, Shaquille O'Neill, Todd Day, Lee Mayberry, Oliver Miller, James Hollywood, Robertson, Robert or Latreel'spree.

00:07:43
Speaker 6: Well, it was also the Appleby's in Birmingham.

00:07:45
Speaker 8: M h.

00:07:46
Speaker 3: She was the real v that year.

00:07:48
Speaker 4: She was the real MVP. Couple things tonight, Ryan, the debut of the World Indoor Golf League.

00:07:59
Speaker 6: Do you know about this?

00:08:00
Speaker 5: I do not know anything about this.

00:08:02
Speaker 4: Tiger Woods and Rory McElroy have created this thing like you know when you go play on a golf simulator.

00:08:08
Speaker 6: Have you ever done that?

00:08:09
Speaker 4: Yeah? Right, and you like hit the ball and it goes into the screen and it shows you what it does. I think there's a couple places in Lexington where you can do this, right. They're doing a professional golf league of that wow, and it's gonna have like all these pro golfers, including Tiger and Rory. And it debuts tonight on ESPN, like Scott Van Pelt is the host, and it's gonna be going for like the next six or eight weeks. Now. I haven't seen it, and it debuts tonight. It actually debuts during our debuts, right after the Kentucky game. It sounds ryan to me, awful, like I cannot imagine watching people do an indoor golf simulator on TV.

00:09:00
Speaker 6: But there are people who watch video games.

00:09:03
Speaker 4: I know Barstool has that guy Jerry who does this sometimes. But do you think this will catch on professional golfers playing indoors on the screen and watch people watching it on the esp.

00:09:16
Speaker 5: I surprisingly am going to say yes because the younger generation spends hours and hours watching other people play video games, and the fact that Tiger Woods has his name attached to this, people will tune in just because of Tiger. So yeah, I think you could probably have some success.

00:09:31
Speaker 6: Well you watch it.

00:09:32
Speaker 5: I knew nothing about that's what. Why did they promote it a little bit? I mean, this is kind of a cool event. I'm not seeing any promotion about it at all, and yet I'm gonna tune in the night now that you just told me about it.

00:09:43
Speaker 6: All right, Shannon, will you watch?

00:09:44
Speaker 2: I think they haven't promoted it because I realize it's gonna suck. No, I mean I watch it out of curiosity, just to see what it looks like. Yeah, but no, I don't think it's gonna catch on at all, do you.

00:09:53
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess, I mean Ryan's right, Like I kind of feel like this is probably an attempt to get younger people.

00:10:01
Speaker 6: It sounds awful to me, Like I want to watch.

00:10:05
Speaker 4: First of all, one of the things I've learned about golf is if they're not playing for something that matters, it's not entertaining, you know what I mean, Like when they're playing against each other in these like the match and stuff, I actually find it really boring cause it doesn't seem like it matters who wins. But the other thing is I just I can't imagine watching wanting to watch a guy like hit it into a screen, And if it's not Tiger, I really.

00:10:32
Speaker 6: Don't think I would care.

00:10:33
Speaker 4: Like do you want to watch Xander Shofty hit a ball into a screen?

00:10:37
Speaker 5: Channon?

00:10:37
Speaker 3: No, I don't.

00:10:39
Speaker 2: Like I said, I'll tune in to watch it to see, like what the presentation is. Maybe it's more than what we're talking about, but if it's maybe golf simulator, I mean that's what it's always been when I've been to a golf simulator.

00:10:49
Speaker 6: Well, I'm gonna be like you.

00:10:50
Speaker 4: I'm gonna turn it on after the game tonight, just before the pregame show, just to see what it looks like. But Ryan, I just have a hard time thinking this will be interesting.

00:11:00
Speaker 5: I think you're right. I think that the generation they're trying to attract not us. I think all not the young golfers of the world and the young people that have played a lot on a simulator. They're the ones that will probably tune in to night to watch. Sounds like, if you like that.

00:11:13
Speaker 6: Wouldn't you just watch them play regular golf.

00:11:16
Speaker 5: Do they have like a like a bracket like a thirty two player.

00:11:20
Speaker 6: I'm not sure what the format is, but it's gonna it's a league. I think they are teams or something.

00:11:25
Speaker 3: But zero chance this catches on long term.

00:11:27
Speaker 4: I kind of feel like to say, wait, then Louisville plays tonight. Now, far be it from me to make fun of Louisville. And granted, I'm gonna grant you the weather's back. Okay, so that plays an impact in this, I get it. But Louisville plays Clemson at home tonight. It's a big game for them, right, I mean, louis why is a chance to be the second third or fourth best team in the ACC. Clemson is probably the second best team next to Duke. It's a big game for them. They are giving they are When I say they're giving away tickets, they're giving away tickets. Literally. This guy, who I guess is one of the boosters of the of he owns Planet Fitness. He got online and yesterday said I will give five hundred tickets to anybody who writes me here, and of course people wrote it. If you're a member at Planet Fitness, Shannon, you get four free tickets.

00:12:23
Speaker 3: Bring the entire family.

00:12:25
Speaker 4: Now, this is a game against the top twenty five team. This is Louisville basketball, one of the greatest programs of all time, and they're giving away tickets if you have a membership at Planet Fitness.

00:12:42
Speaker 6: Isn't that insane?

00:12:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, when we made them, made fun of them before, you at least had to go buy like a carton of milk and you got tickets.

00:12:49
Speaker 3: Remember that.

00:12:50
Speaker 4: I just cannot believe they have a good team, a team that could make the tournament. This is Louisville basketball. I know the weather's bad, but they were doing this before the weather got bad. Just for the record, the idea that they have to give away tickets if you have a membership to plan at Fitness, Ryan, did you ever think that would happen?

00:13:12
Speaker 5: Never?

00:13:13
Speaker 4: Ever?

00:13:13
Speaker 5: Do I think it would happen to a fan base that's been pretty solid over the years. Drew said it a hundred times. They're broken that fan base. They're broken.

00:13:20
Speaker 3: Kenny broke them.

00:13:21
Speaker 5: Kenny broke them.

00:13:23
Speaker 4: I'm not making fun of this, although I guess I am a little.

00:13:28
Speaker 6: I'm just shocked.

00:13:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm shocked that they have to give away tickets to play a top twenty five team. That's amazing to me. But that's where they are right now, and that's what they're gonna have to do.

00:13:40
Speaker 6: Who's up next?

00:13:41
Speaker 3: Clay, Clay?

00:15:26
Speaker 8: Yeah, my name is Clay Clay.

00:15:27
Speaker 6: So it was you.

00:15:28
Speaker 4: You're the one that gave the the baby to Kobe Brea. First of all, how did that end up happen?

00:15:34
Speaker 7: Yep?

00:15:36
Speaker 8: Yeah, So I have a family member. I'm not going to say their name, but they work in media, and they got a stare on the floor right when the game was in then, and we wanted to listen to the Pope show, so uh, you know, all that they were all Jackson came over and got a picture with him, and then Kobe did, and then Kobe went back in the locker room, and I guess he came back out and Pope he does like segments, so he did his first segment and he went over to one side of the crowd and then he went to our side, and then he didn't make it all the way down. So I was like, you know, it's my son's first UK game, and you know, he's he's a little he's a little guy, and I just thought to be cool, you know, get a picture with coach Pope. So Kobe was sitting right next to me, and I said, hey, man, do you uh, what are the chances you could take my son Kate over and get a quick picture with coach Pope? And he smiled at.

00:16:24
Speaker 6: To get the picture with Pope?

00:16:26
Speaker 4: Okay, got like I was just like I wasn't just like, hey man, here's my baby.

00:16:31
Speaker 8: I'm gonna go to the bathroom and get a drink.

00:16:33
Speaker 4: You know, I was.

00:16:35
Speaker 6: I didn't know.

00:16:35
Speaker 4: I didn't think that would be the case. So were you worried at I mean, like, you know, handing your your baby to uh to a college basketball player. Did that worry you at all? Not really?

00:16:47
Speaker 8: I mean, I know my wife was in the background, and she's she was probably embarrassed. I know I know she was. She actually did. She messaged you last night, but yeah, she was embarrassed. But I wasn't too worried because I asked first to say, are you sure, like you feel comfortable doing this? And yeah, and he smiled.

00:17:00
Speaker 7: He's like, yeah, full comforaball.

00:17:01
Speaker 9: And he's a good baby.

00:17:02
Speaker 8: He he's just gonna cry or anything.

00:17:03
Speaker 6: He seems like he has a good handle, Shannon.

00:17:05
Speaker 4: So I like that all right.

00:17:07
Speaker 6: So now so you.

00:17:08
Speaker 4: Get the picture that's now become like kind of a famous picture, like he went everywhere, so that had to be cool.

00:17:14
Speaker 6: That had to be cool, right.

00:17:17
Speaker 8: Oh yeah it was. It was the best dad moment ever because my dad needs to take me to games. And I got a picture with Tubby and we went to the bar your ball after the game. I was hoping you'd be doing the show there, but the weather was coming in and stuff. But there were people that would just come up to me and they were like, hey, is that the Is that the baby that got a picture of the coach Bowl.

00:17:40
Speaker 4: Baby.

00:17:41
Speaker 6: Here's the most important question. Your baby wasn't sick.

00:17:46
Speaker 8: I was about to bring that up. No, none of us are sick, and.

00:17:49
Speaker 7: Da is perfectly.

00:17:50
Speaker 8: He is not sick at all, So I don't I saw some of that this morning. I was like, come on, now, my baby's.

00:17:55
Speaker 6: Not sick, all right, So it's not.

00:17:59
Speaker 4: Good.

00:17:59
Speaker 6: I'm glad.

00:17:59
Speaker 4: I just wanted to make sure because you know, babies have a lot of snots, so I'm glad that your baby didn't have snot And uh, well, listen, that's very cool. Thank you for calling, and it'll be a great memory for you.

00:18:11
Speaker 6: Yeah, I appreciate calling.

00:18:13
Speaker 4: There you go, that's good. That's good to hear. So we we're kind of reporters, Ryan. We can now report that that Kobe Brea did not get sick from the baby.

00:18:23
Speaker 5: If he is definitely sick, it didn't come from baby Cad. So we can't blame baby Cad if that's the issue right now. So I'm glad to get that.

00:18:30
Speaker 2: Imagine the baby was sick, though everybody blamed the baby.

00:18:33
Speaker 3: You can't blame a baby.

00:18:35
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not the baby's fault. Yeah, I mean I understand, right. So I again talk about having reporters, Ryan. I have somebody who was at the final rehearsal for the Golf League last night, okay in West Palm Beats. They were there and they said to me, they sent me pictures and video of it. I mean, it looks cool, but I don't know if it'll be cool. The person wrote, I went to the final rehearsal last night. It's like the NBA meets golf in a stadium with museums or with music and a shot clock. The green moves and changes every hole. So does that sound good?

00:19:18
Speaker 5: I think it's worth a little. I'm gonna check it out. I mean, I don't know if I'm gonna watch it every week or.

00:19:26
Speaker 3: Doesn't change it for me.

00:19:27
Speaker 4: We'll see. We'll watch it comes on nine o'clock tonight, so we'll find out.

00:19:31
Speaker 5: I do have to ask Matt questions and just ask anything. Tuesday, Okay, this is for you. Rory and Tiger were both very anti ELK live golf. How's it non hypocritical for them to start another league?

00:19:43
Speaker 4: It is a little bit. I mean, all these golfers. Okay, so you can be against live golf because of the Saudi Arabian thing, and I think that's principled. But I never felt like these dudes were Most of them were against it for that. They were just against it that they were getting all these money and they were are they were like I think golf the split has.

00:20:04
Speaker 6: Hurt golf a lot.

00:20:07
Speaker 4: I think golf outside of the majors now has become almost unwatchable, and part of it is this split. So maybe this will make it better. I kind of doubt it will. And I do think if you, if people want to be say it's a little hypocritical, I think that's fair. But then again, if kids watch it, you know, golf has a problem with kids. Like kids are not into it as much anymore. So maybe it'll it'll make it better. But I am a huge golf fan, and I have found I can't watch a golf tournament now unless it's one of the majors. And that's a shame because I used to watch them all the time. But it's just not interesting to me anymore. And you know, for better or worse, that's just kind of how I feel about it. Who's next, Carol, Carol, Go ahead, Carol.

00:20:49
Speaker 10: Hi, guys, I'm calling with a story concerning people that can't get out of their house. Okay, I'm a very senior citizen and I had a medical appointment yesterday that I was determined to keep thanks to two very special Uber drivers I got there yesterday morning, So I want to give a shout out to Schanik and Amos. They were both super considerate and they were concerned about my safety. They made sure I got in and out of the car, you know, carefully. And after I got back from my appointment, I was kind of reflecting on all of this, and I was reminded how upset I get when I hear plans to deport certain groups of people. Because one of these drivers immigrated here when he was forty years old from South Africa. He speaks, writes, and reads five languages. There are many instances just like this where people don't hate the time to think. These people are working and they're helping.

00:22:06
Speaker 9: People like me.

00:22:07
Speaker 4: Well that first of all, that's very cool that they did that for you. Shaneck and Amos. Those are two great names, by the way, Shaneck and Amos.

00:22:16
Speaker 6: But I also think more.

00:22:19
Speaker 4: I do when things like weather happen. It always reminds me that, like it's easy to turn on TV and think the world is like everybody hates each other. But for the most part, I think ninety eight percent of people are good and ninety eight percent of people want to help people. And in a situation like that, helping you get to and from the doctor, I think that's very sweet. Thank you for telling us that story. And I'm glad your homes stay warm.

00:22:46
Speaker 10: Okay, alrighty, same to you all.

00:22:49
Speaker 4: All right, there you go.

00:22:51
Speaker 6: I like the name Shaneck and Amos. When's the last time you heard of a person named Amos.

00:22:57
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know anybody named Amos.

00:23:00
Speaker 5: I don't either trying to think.

00:23:01
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't one hundred years ago, and I don't.

00:23:08
Speaker 5: I don't think that.

00:23:09
Speaker 6: I can't think of a Yeah, I can't think of a person.

00:23:14
Speaker 4: I don't know that I've ever known a person nay made us.

00:23:16
Speaker 6: I don't either, So so uh A nice job by those folks.

00:23:21
Speaker 4: And uh, yeah, you know, I see I saw somebody walking down the street on Barstown Road, like helping, uh an older person trying to get to the bus stop. You know, bad weather does bring out the best of people, and I wish we had more chances for people to show that side. We'll take a break, be right back to Kentucky Sports Radio. T J Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ.

00:23:44
Speaker 5: He'll make them pay.

00:23:46
Speaker 2: Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.

00:23:49
Speaker 3: Here's Matt Jones.

00:23:51
Speaker 6: Is this Jerry Lee, Jerry Reid, Jerry Reid?

00:23:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, I always heard this song on Willie's Roadhouse. Yeah, it comes on quite.

00:24:00
Speaker 3: A bit, probably the only place you're gonna hear it.

00:24:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of it, but it's uh, but I do know it. It's called what Amus Mos? Yeah, okay, Uh, I'm nine eighty seven. Ryan Reed Shepherd got sent to the G League yesterday, probably a little bit of a surprise to probably a lot of people. It's kind of rare for top five picks to get sent to the G League. It happens, but but it's kind of rare, you know, he hasn't. It's it's kind of a couple of things. One, he's he's on a team that's that had the third pick but has ended up good, So that's probably a little surprising. Is that they're actually pretty good. I think they're the two or three seed right now in the West. And they also have a lot of guards. I mean, he's like the fifth or sixth guard on the team, and a lot of their guards have improved a lot and gotten really good. So part of it is he's on a team that's probably better than the I thought, and he's got guys ahead of him that have improved. The other part of it is he just hasn't really played well when he comes in, And part of it is he's only playing like he'll only get to play like a handful of minutes here and there. He doesn't his shots aren't going in. So the combination of that, I think they think he needs to go. He'll get regular minutes, he'll start in the G League and like hopefully get a rhythm. But a little disappointing for Reid a lot of the guys, this draft has ended up being, I think better than people thought. And you know, he's not ended up having the year I think that a lot of people had hoped.

00:25:33
Speaker 5: I was a little surprised when I saw that. I gotta admit, but you said it, man, the Rockets are are guard heavy and is better than playing two or three minutes a game. Get him some run, get some minutes where he's done just sitting on the bench not doing anything. I think it may end up being a you know, a wise move on the Rockets part.

00:25:50
Speaker 4: I mean, it's been kind of listen, it's I still think both these guys have a really bright future, but for Reid and Rob it's for both of them been a little dispos I mean, they both if you look at the top ten picks, they're playing less minutes than almost everybody, and they just haven't had a lot of success, either one of them. You know, I still long term think both of them can be good. But you know, so a lot of people are now saying, well, read should have come back. If Heed had come back, he'd be playing here. I mean, Shan, I just kind of think that's stupid. Yeah, he had he made twenty twenty million dollars guaranteed. I'd love to have had him back. But he made the right to see him the third pick. If he goes in the draft this year, he's not gonna be higher than the third picks.

00:26:37
Speaker 3: That's it right there.

00:26:37
Speaker 2: If that's why you go, you're not going to improve anymore, right, I mean, you may go up one spot, but what's the difference.

00:26:43
Speaker 4: Probably not though. I mean there's two Cooper flag and that, uh, what's the kid's name at Rutgers. Whatever's now, there's two guys at Rutgers. I don't think he'd have been picked ahead of any of them. So, like if he came back and was the fourth or fifth pick, and that wouldn't have done him any good.

00:26:59
Speaker 2: Right, you wonder, like who do we not have on this roster because of that? You know you're gonna somewhere. Yeah, he probably wouldn't.

00:27:05
Speaker 3: Have Maybe maybe Otaga, I don't know.

00:27:08
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe maybe Kobe, maybe Otaga one of those guys.

00:27:11
Speaker 6: But he made the right decision.

00:27:13
Speaker 4: Ryan, And even if it's and I think his NBA crew, I still think he's gonna be good. But even if it never does, Dude, you can't turn down twenty million dollars a guaranteed money to come back and maybe be in the exact same or worse position than you would have been otherwise.

00:27:29
Speaker 5: Yeah, just just let him in, Just sit and improve, man. I mean, he's just still what nineteen years old, you know. Let him get some run of the G league. There's been all these stories of guys that have done that, go down, then come back and end up, you know, staying the rest of their career.

00:27:42
Speaker 4: Are you surprised, Shannon that the best rookie, Well, right now, they do this thing where they rank the rookies. NBA ranks them right now the best rookies a guy i'd never heard of that went to the Pelicans and part of why he's the best as he plays a lot. But the second best rookie right now by stats is Zach Edie.

00:28:01
Speaker 6: Can you believe?

00:28:02
Speaker 5: Wow? No, I never thought that was gonna happen.

00:28:04
Speaker 4: Wh would have I mean, I don't know that I thought he'd be a bus But when you watch that dude play, I saw something He's the only player in the NBA that in his last fifteen games his plus minus has been a plus every game. Wow.

00:28:21
Speaker 3: I mean, I know what he was good at Purdue. He was good for what they did.

00:28:23
Speaker 2: I just didn't know that that would translate as well as it has so far.

00:28:27
Speaker 3: Earlier in his career.

00:28:28
Speaker 4: Would you have bought Ryan zach Ede would be a productive I mean, he went ninth in the draft, so, I mean clearly somebody thought that, but the.

00:28:35
Speaker 5: Way the NBA game is now, it just didn't seem like it fit the way he plays. But he's he's proven us wrong.

00:28:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean give him credit. Man, you watched that guy in his early career in Purdue. You would have never thought, no, he could play in the NBA. And now he's not only playing, he's on a good team and he's playing really well. Who's next, Tom?

00:28:53
Speaker 6: Tom?

00:28:53
Speaker 4: Go ahead, Tom.

00:28:56
Speaker 9: Hey, I've got a hot basketball topic, maybe controversy. So I think we can all agree that basketball, once you get to the high school, college or pro level, is in the entertainment industry.

00:29:08
Speaker 7: People pay to.

00:29:08
Speaker 9: Go watch this product on the court. So my idea is, if we want to get women's basketball more entertaining. You can do a few things, lower the rim to nine foot?

00:29:20
Speaker 5: Sure, how would you say before you do anything, why would you say any of this?

00:29:23
Speaker 4: Women's basketball is more popular now than it's ever been. I mean literally, women's basketball. The college women's NCAA championship game last year out drew the MINS. Now it probably won't do that this year, but that's still Like, I don't think the sport has ever been more popular than it is right now.

00:29:47
Speaker 9: Couldn't disagree, I mean, couldn't agree more absolutely, But it was because of one or two players and people wanted to see them play and they made it exciting. That's going to die out, I think.

00:29:59
Speaker 4: I mean it may, it's going to it's definitely clearly Caitlin Clark and to a lesser extent, Angel Rees, but clearly Caitlin Clark was a huge personality that made a big difference.

00:30:12
Speaker 6: But you know what, getting it to nine feet.

00:30:15
Speaker 4: I mean, I just I think there's an assumption there, like the women it's never going to be as athletic as the men. But it's a different sport. But that's okay, right, Like that's all right. It doesn't have to be the same.

00:30:30
Speaker 9: It doesn't have to be. But if you want to increase the crowd, if you want to make it more entertaining, then why not lower the court? Why not lower them, let them go in and be able to you know, jam. Yeah, and maybe even put in a goaltending line so that if you go inside, you have to go in strong.

00:30:49
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, I think it probably, and I appreciate the call that that. I don't think you elevate the sport by telling young women that they can't like they have to play with a different I mean I already play with the different ball right going to nine feet. I don't think women's basketball to be entertaining has to dunk. I mean, what made Caitlyn Clark entertaining was her being able to shoot the way she did. And you know, so I would disagree with that, Ryan, although you know, maybe I'm wrong.

00:31:21
Speaker 5: The women's game is exciting in its own way.

00:31:23
Speaker 4: It's just different.

00:31:24
Speaker 5: It's just different. You know. In the UK, women are playing an exciting different kind of basketball. Yeah, you know, I like the women's game. They play four quarters. That's something I think the guys should.

00:31:32
Speaker 4: Maybe the guys should do that. I think they should. I think they should play four quarters. It just cuts down on the free throws, right, You don't because it's five fouls each quarter, You just don't. You don't have as many free throws, so you don't spend as much time just standing there at the line towards the second half of each half, which I think.

00:31:51
Speaker 6: Makes it better. Who's next?

00:31:52
Speaker 3: Price?

00:31:53
Speaker 6: Price? Go ahead, price?

00:31:55
Speaker 7: Hey, how's it going, guys. There's a guy you were talking about, Amoses. There's a guy that played running back for West Virginia, Virginia. His name was Amos their Way. He played for West Virginia and then he was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in nineteen ninety nine and he played for the Oakland Raiders and the New England Patriots.

00:32:15
Speaker 6: There you go. I didn't I never heard that name. Thank you, guys, appreciate it.

00:32:21
Speaker 4: They also have those cookies.

00:32:22
Speaker 5: What are those cookies called famous Amos?

00:32:25
Speaker 4: When I did my trivia question, uh, when I did my trivia question just a few a couple of weeks ago, it's one of the five most popular cookies in America. Did you know that? Really famous? Like Oreos, then chips Oy, then like Pepperidge Farm, something, Nabisco, Nila wafers and then famous amos. Do you people, by the way, do you know people who still eat vanilla wafers?

00:32:53
Speaker 3: I ate him as a kid, and I loved him.

00:32:55
Speaker 4: I did ten milk. But do you know, like, when's the last time you've seen a vanilla wafer?

00:33:01
Speaker 3: It's been probably thirty years me.

00:33:03
Speaker 5: I agree, but it was fourth on the amount.

00:33:06
Speaker 3: I have some kids still eating them.

00:33:07
Speaker 6: You can you buy them, like in a gas.

00:33:09
Speaker 3: Station, probably the grocery store. Yeah, I don't.

00:33:13
Speaker 4: I haven't seen a vanilla wafer since my grandparents died, but somehow it's still number four.

00:33:19
Speaker 2: Everybody's grandparents have avannello waver because my grandparents had it two.

00:33:22
Speaker 4: Yeah, why did they like them so much? Was that the only cookie they had for a long time?

00:33:26
Speaker 3: Maybe? I don't know.

00:33:27
Speaker 5: You need them to make banana pudding. Maybe that's what I'm kepping them alive?

00:33:31
Speaker 6: Oh you do?

00:33:32
Speaker 4: Yeah?

00:33:32
Speaker 3: You stick them in there?

00:33:33
Speaker 4: Oh okay, but yeah, maybe that's what it is. Hey. The NFL Playoffs starts Saturday, and you could be ready with DraftKings, the official sports betting partner in the NFL.

Speaker 3: That's still in limp biscuit.

00:34:27
Speaker 2: He's got that's gotta be a wig he's wearing right. He looks like the dude from the Big Lebowski. He looks like Jeff Bridges.

00:34:33
Speaker 6: Yeah he's got They still limp biscuits still a thing?

00:34:37
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah. They played it louder than life a couple of years ago.

00:34:42
Speaker 2: Wow, he got mad and made him turn off the big screens on the side so nobody in the back can see.

00:34:47
Speaker 6: Why do you do that just because because he's a jerk?

00:34:50
Speaker 3: I guess because he can. He's like, we're not gonna play till you turn off the screens.

00:34:53
Speaker 4: Did you hear?

00:34:54
Speaker 6: Did you watch the first raw last night? See Hulk Hogan?

00:34:58
Speaker 3: Saw the highlights? Saw Hogan come out and get booed by hand.

00:35:01
Speaker 4: Hogan just came out and got booed, like got booted. First of all, Hogan can barely walk. You want to feel old, watch Hulk Hogan. Man wrestlers age tough, except Jimmy Hart, who looked amazing.

00:35:15
Speaker 3: Jimmy Hart did not deserve to get booed eighty.

00:35:17
Speaker 4: One years old. Dude looks the exact same he did when he was thirty one.

00:35:21
Speaker 3: I don't get that one at all.

00:35:22
Speaker 6: I don't either, have you? Do you know Jimmy Hart is Ryan the Mouth of the South.

00:35:27
Speaker 5: Oh, yes, that's what I would watch with him and Tojo Yamamoto.

00:35:30
Speaker 4: And the exact Yes, he looks the exact same now at eighty one as he did then. But Hogan comes out and like, I guess he's selling some beer now it's called real American beer, which is like ridiculous. He comes out and they just boo him like and it wasn't like he wasn't trying to get booed. They were just like get out.

00:36:00
Speaker 3: He was like, I love you.

00:36:01
Speaker 6: Guys, and they were like, he goes.

00:36:04
Speaker 4: One of the things that has never changed is how much you love me, and the whole crowd goes.

00:36:10
Speaker 5: So why were they booing him?

00:36:12
Speaker 4: I mean, he's got a tough background, Like you just have to google some stuff he's done.

00:36:19
Speaker 3: Plus he was in LA and he was just at a in La.

00:36:22
Speaker 5: He was big.

00:36:22
Speaker 4: But I mean part of it's probably like he you know, he spoke for Trump at the convention, but you know, the Undertaker is a huge Trump guy and he got cheered, right.

00:36:32
Speaker 6: I mean it's just Hogan like just I mean, we don't need to go into all of it, but.

00:36:38
Speaker 2: You know, the for a guy was so beloved, like the biggest, most loved wrestler on the planet back in the eighties and nineties.

00:36:45
Speaker 3: Now everybody just seems to hate him.

00:36:47
Speaker 6: I mean, and he did not see it coming.

00:36:49
Speaker 3: You could take that he was shaking.

00:36:51
Speaker 4: He was shaken, and that dude's been a performer for fifty years and he was shaken. So now of course it's wrestling. They need to make him a bad guy, right like they need to have him. Now he's got to go the other way.

00:37:01
Speaker 3: I don't think he can walk down the aisle.

00:37:05
Speaker 4: He just came through and stopped because it was clear like he couldn't walk. But I mean, probably shouldn't have had him debut.

00:37:12
Speaker 3: In l A, Yeah right, I don't.

00:37:15
Speaker 4: I mean that's probably not you know, if you're gonna debut like Lizzo, maybe you don't put her in. Maybe you don't put her in in in Mississippi or Alabama. I don't know if it was the best place to debut him. All right, so today we're gonna open.

00:37:33
Speaker 3: What is going on?

00:37:34
Speaker 5: What is going torturing dogs?

00:37:36
Speaker 6: What is happening?

00:37:38
Speaker 5: Something must be outside they're going crazy.

00:37:41
Speaker 6: Well do you need to go look at it? That sounds awful?

00:37:44
Speaker 4: Must be.

00:37:46
Speaker 5: I can go yell at him, but what can you all hear that? At home?

00:37:51
Speaker 3: They can hear it.

00:37:51
Speaker 5: I mean, I know shaman and I can hear it.

00:37:53
Speaker 4: But what is that?

00:37:58
Speaker 5: I don't know. Somebody they're probably a dog out a front yard or a cat.

00:38:01
Speaker 6: And that does not sound like they're seeing a dog. That sounds like something bad.

00:38:08
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's normal.

00:38:10
Speaker 6: That's normal.

00:38:11
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's how you live when another animal comes in our front yard. Yeah, I will say this. I've been watching my cul de sac and one of my neighbors whose car has not moved to god out and not come back. So they must have made it. So I think I'm feeling a lot better about making it.

00:38:27
Speaker 3: There you go, They clear the path.

00:38:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, they did what we told you at the beginning you should do. Then everybody got mad at Shannon and I about which is, why don't you get out.

00:38:35
Speaker 6: Of your house?

00:38:36
Speaker 5: Oh? I want to get out of my house all right?

00:38:38
Speaker 4: So speaking of getting out of the house, the Chas bar is opening at three, The game is at seven, Our pregame is at four thirty. We need to make a decision. Are we gonna do the pregame at the bar? Do you feel like you can get there or should we do it at home?

00:38:53
Speaker 5: Can I Can I try it after the show's over here and let.

00:38:56
Speaker 4: You try it?

00:38:57
Speaker 6: I mean we need to like we need to just say, well, I think.

00:39:01
Speaker 5: After seeing what my neighbor just did. I think I'm good.

00:39:04
Speaker 4: Okay, So we're gonna do the pregame show. Then at four thirty at the bar. You're up for it, I'm up for it.

00:39:09
Speaker 6: Okay. Now the game is at seven.

00:39:12
Speaker 4: We here's what I'm gonna say to all of you all, like, if you want to get out of your house and watch the game, I'm gonna at least watch the first half there until I get nervous. Shit, yeah, and then and it probably look we probably won't have a ton of people because of the weather, but come out and watch it with us. We it can be like we're tired of being in our house. Come watch the game.

00:39:34
Speaker 6: You are you up for it?

00:39:35
Speaker 4: Right? Yeah?

00:39:37
Speaker 5: If I make it to the pregame show.

00:39:39
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, so you're just gonna stay there.

00:39:41
Speaker 5: I probably just gonna stay there.

00:39:42
Speaker 4: Do we need to call Amos and and Chile like to send you home after the game?

00:39:47
Speaker 5: And that's not a bad idea because I'm sure there's uber drivers that have four wheel drive?

00:39:50
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, so you'll be so we'll be there at four thirty. You're in, I'm in, okay, all right. So let's talk about how we feel cats in Georgia. Looks like right now we're a one and a half point favorite. Uh, you feel what do you think is gonna happen tonight?

00:40:05
Speaker 1: Ryan?

00:40:05
Speaker 6: You think we get a victory?

00:40:06
Speaker 5: I think it's a close game from start to finish, and I think it's a it's a rock fight. It's gonna be a tough battle. But I feel like Kentucky they gotta win one of these two, and I feel like this is the one they're gonna get.

00:40:17
Speaker 6: Yeah, and this is tough.

00:40:19
Speaker 4: I mean you know that we're gonna we're playing a top ten pick here. We've played a top ten pick earlier this year with Cooper Flag and he played really well against us until the last couple of plays. This is another like can our Biggs defense? They really have struggled defensively. I mean, especially against guys you know, the Ohio State. Uh, those guys owned us on the boards. Honestly, Ryan Ford owned us on the boards too. I mean we won, but they owned us on the glass. Now you got this team that's got with Ason Oil. You're talking about a dude who's gonna be he's six to eleven. I think he's gonna be a superstar. We gotta have a mari Williams. We gotta have Andrew Carr, we gotta have these guys. Uh, we gotta have these guys. Ryan play much better on the defensive end than they did in the last game.

00:41:10
Speaker 5: And that's what concerns I think all of us, as we've seen us, our post players and our fours and five not be the best defenders at times. Mario Williams can, but he can't guard two guys.

00:41:20
Speaker 6: But he's also got to get his hands up in rebound.

00:41:23
Speaker 7: Yeah.

00:41:23
Speaker 4: I mean he for and he's actually averaging a decent amount of rebounds, but I feel like he lets other guys get rebounds on him all the time.

00:41:32
Speaker 6: They got to box out.

00:41:34
Speaker 4: You know. We go back to that free throw against Florida. Again, it didn't cost us, but he just let that dude get the rebound on him on the free throw.

00:41:41
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think that's why I think Pope took him out and like, yeah, woke him up, say hey man, you've got to do this or you are not gonna play.

00:41:48
Speaker 6: You like our chances to night, Channon, since you won't be on the pre game.

00:41:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, with Kobe Braa being out. It does make me a little nervous. Georgia's gonna try to slow the game down there.

00:41:57
Speaker 6: We don't know teams, we don't know he's out.

00:42:00

Speaker 5: It's gonna be a.

00:42:05

00:42:33
Speaker 4: All right, we'll good for me. I think the Cats will get a victory, but I think this is gonna be a battle. And I said the Florida game was a test for me about Hey, do we have a chance to compete in the SEC I think the answer is yes. This is the kind of game that if you want to win the SEC or come in second, you win this.

00:42:53
Speaker 5: This is the game.

00:42:54
Speaker 4: You're not gonna win the SEC or even come in second. If you don't win a game like tonight, hope it happens. We will see you at four point thirty. Everybody be careful today. See you at four thirty for the pregame show. This is Kentucky Sports Radio.
