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 contacts 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. That's what it's all about, getting to the closing table as simple and as easy as possible. Our friends at scot To the Mortgage focus on helping people understand their options. Whether you're ready to buy now, later or just starting to ask questions. There's no pressure to make a decision, just a chance to get real information and a clear picture of what's possible.

Speaker 5: Yeah, well interesting, it's okay. A five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. What were you doing there during the break?

00:01:39
Speaker 1: I got some real estate stuff going on.

00:01:40
Speaker 5: Just trying to make care that during all that good it's market moving.

00:01:43
Speaker 1: Markets moving, a good time to buy, go to stocking.

00:01:45
Speaker 6: Mortgage cameos selling houses.

00:01:48
Speaker 5: You're kind of a hustler, aren't you.

00:01:50
Speaker 1: I do want to say this will have a moment. If you would have listened to the True Crime Radio show and you left KS Bar last night, you would have been up to date on the ninety four point five ninety four point five.

00:02:00
Speaker 5: I bet the listeners went up.

00:02:02
Speaker 4: I bet, I bet the listeners for the mixed ninety four or five True crime show, What time does it come on?

00:02:06
Speaker 1: Ten o'clock?

00:02:07
Speaker 5: It was perfect.

00:02:08
Speaker 1: We were leaving the restaurant right at ten o'clock last night. I listen all the way home that to take. So what's the update, Well, they updated us on the airport. They I'll pass the airport. We knew. I knew about the party balloon, okay, but the Nancy Guthrie thing. They found two black gloves like a mile and a half from the house, and they think maybe they might be associated.

00:02:26
Speaker 5: With the crime. Okay, So what does that do for me?

00:02:29
Speaker 1: Well, they're just giving you an update. You're asking for all the neighbors from like January on January eleventh on or something to look at the ring cameras if they've seen anything.

00:02:38
Speaker 5: I can't believe they haven't caught this guy.

00:02:39
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it feels like they have or is it a girl? Okay they I can't believe they've caught this person.

00:02:47
Speaker 5: I really can't.

00:02:48
Speaker 4: I mean, we have the everyone looking for them. You would think like they'd have them, and they don't. So kind of a surprise. They found nine two twenty two eighty seven, Did you like the Drew? The documentary show that came out? CBS has been doing a documentary about UK basketball this year. They've had all access all year and it's gonna come out the day between the Final Four and the National Championship, so that Sunday afternoon is when it will come out. Uh.

00:03:17
Speaker 6: Video looks cool. Didn't enjoyed the clips? Hope that whiteboard's okay? Yeah, show Mark that white board.

00:03:23
Speaker 4: Show Mark Pope punching the whiteboard, which he said, I think he heard his wrist on or whatever.

00:03:27
Speaker 5: Right, Well, yeah, big knock there.

00:03:29
Speaker 6: I would tell him maybe next time, find a target behind the whiteboard and punched through it. But still like seeing that fire. I'm really gonna enjoy the most of the conversations. It looks like, you know, the guys their apartments are driving around and they're talking through the beginning of the year and how it felt on their end. I'll admit, though it's not lost on me. The only other time we did this was the year, so I don't It's answered some questions from earlier in the season if we believe in that JINX. But overall, I'm excited to watch it how I.

00:03:55
Speaker 4: Think they probably decided to do this Ryan because they thought we were gonna be really, really good and then we weren't. So do you think it will be more interesting to see us go through the ups and downs? Or would you like, like, do you think it actually? I mean they you know who were they in the locker room for the Louisville game?

00:04:15
Speaker 1: See that? As a fan, I want to see this behind the scenes stuff. What happened in Louisville. What's been happening behind the scene. Do they really like each other? Do they hang out with each other? I'm hoping they get into some of that. And I think one of the sound bites from Motega in the in the trailer, he says, I'm like people saying we're fight with each other. You know what are they talking about?

00:04:30
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's like they said I fought somebody in the locker room. You know he's acting like what But that was said quite a bit.

00:04:36
Speaker 4: Do we ever, do we ever have a defenditive answer as to what happened in that locker room?

00:04:40
Speaker 6: I wonder if who has creative control of this, like if UK can't. I'm sure UK does to agree to it, but it'd be nice if someone that didn't care how it looked. The producers was like, this is exactly what happened right here, and whatever it is, we'll we'll take it from there.

00:04:53
Speaker 5: Yeah.

00:04:54
Speaker 4: You know, well they did one of these before besides the n I T year, So we did it the n I T Yer.

00:05:00
Speaker 5: Then they did it Oscar second year. Do you remember that? Like they did this Oscar second year.

00:05:06
Speaker 4: And when they lost when they they just didn't think it was interesting enough, so they threw it away.

00:05:12
Speaker 6: They were sending a crew to Oscar's family and didn't even get there before Kentucky was out of the tournament.

00:05:18
Speaker 5: Yeah, right, so they no was it? So it was Oscar's first year? Was here we lost Saint Peters.

00:05:24
Speaker 6: Yeah, because they were sending a crew all the way to follow his mom and like how she's able to watch it and they didn'tven. I don't eve think they got boots on.

00:05:30
Speaker 4: They interviewed me like six times through the course of that year, and they were doing it about Oscar's year. We lost the Saint and then they lost to Saint Peter's and they're like, well, I.

00:05:39
Speaker 6: Think ty Toime might have had a sick relative that they went out and interviewed too.

00:05:42
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that was probably just lost money. Shannon, Do you think it's a jinx to do a thing like this.

00:05:48
Speaker 2: No, But I do wonder though, how much it did have an effect on Like, and somebody brought this on the pre show, like some of the slowest starts that we've seen, you know, with the cameras up in your face constantly before the game, I wonder if that had effect on how they played.

00:06:02
Speaker 6: Especially the guys not used to any of this, you know, you know, no way some of those guys lived at last year. But if you're brand new to the Kentucky basketball experience and there's a camera crew in the locker room, I could see how that would impact you a little bit, like a Cam Williams who came from two Lane and suddenly you have CBS all access everywhere.

00:06:18
Speaker 4: I mean maybe, but I don't know how that would affect the on court when the game starts.

00:06:22
Speaker 5: I mean, the cameras are on yourial.

00:06:26
Speaker 2: You know, like some of these guys like to be in their zone, but yet you got cameras in your face the entire Maybe.

00:06:30
Speaker 6: And Cal Williams even said himself it took a while to get comfortable going up a level. I could see why cameras and everyone around you in your face could play a role in to maybe getting settled in the only thing I.

00:06:39
Speaker 4: Can compare it to Shannon was when we had those cameras around and it was weird for like a day, but then you get then you almost kind of forget that.

00:06:47
Speaker 2: You would tell people, hey, act naturally, but then people just they can't because you got a camera in your face.

00:06:52
Speaker 5: It's get over. At least for me, I got over that pretty quick.

00:06:56
Speaker 4: I was like that at first, but you kind of get over it, in my opinion, pretty quick, because like you forget they're.

00:07:04
Speaker 2: There, but I'm watching everybody else obviously, just like you know, acting differently than there were people that.

00:07:11
Speaker 4: Yeah, you definitely could see there were people who turned on an act when the camera was on.

00:07:15
Speaker 1: So so you thy you can be able to tell, as is Pope acting or is he really mad?

00:07:19
Speaker 4: Punch not act Pope. Pope wouldn't be acting. I think Pope would. It'll be interesting to see. I would love to see if we can actually learn a little bit about what happened absolutely in some of these things. Yes, but I also kind of think maybe we won't. I also want to finish strong so we can enjoy it. I mean, if we fizzle out and have a bad tournament loss, it obviously won't be nearly as exciting to follow the journey.

00:07:41
Speaker 6: I really want to finish this.

00:07:42
Speaker 1: Years on one player they followed for one, it was a Brandon Boston. They were falling.

00:07:46
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was his own thing though that would that ever come out, No, it could have on his personal that was like a him and his buddy situation.

00:07:55
Speaker 4: The Big Twelve is going to play their Big Twelve tournament on a glass floor. Remember the glass floor that we had for Big Blue Madness. They're gonna do that for the Big Twelve tournaments. So to make it more exciting, they're gonna have the so they can put the graphics of the teams, and they're gonna make it a whole thing. I like this a lot, assuming nobody gets hurt. I like it a lot because the conference tournaments for the major conferences, people can kind of think they don't mean anything. They mean something to me, but for a lot of people, I think it's a cool thing to do, and it'll make me maybe a little more likely to watch it.

00:08:34
Speaker 5: Do you like the Big Twelve glass floor.

00:08:37
Speaker 1: I guess there's no risk involved, or they wouldn't do it, But it seems like playing on a glass floor, you're taking a risk with an ankle or a knee or something slipping and falling.

00:08:45
Speaker 4: I guess as long as they tell me it's safe, which I would think they would not do it if it wasn't safe.

00:08:52
Speaker 2: What they're telling me is that their conference tournament is boring, So we got to figure out a gimmick to make people want.

00:08:57
Speaker 4: What do you think though? Conference tournaments can be boring on you know? I mean, if Duke plays Carolina, we care about the Kentucky games. But I mean, does anyone get excited about the Big twelve conference?

00:09:12
Speaker 5: Sernament?

00:09:12
Speaker 4: And the thing is the Big twelve is probably the best conference this year. Scott Kansas got Arizona, Texas Tech, Iowa State. I can see why you would say, Okay.

00:09:22
Speaker 3: We're boring, we need a glass floor. That's what they're saying.

00:09:25
Speaker 1: We're boring.

00:09:25
Speaker 4: Maybe, but let's but let's say they do. I mean, like, maybe you're saying that, but then you're trying to remedy it.

00:09:33
Speaker 5: Right.

00:09:33
Speaker 6: I'm excited to see that. I have two concerns. One is I want to hear a player talk about not just injuries, like are their dead spots? Like you're just dribbling on something completely different than hardwood. They've dribbled your whole life. I wonder as a player if it just feels different affects the actual game flow. And then my biggest concern and doesn't know we're heading this way. They're gonna put so many logos on that thing.

00:09:53
Speaker 5: For a basketball game.

00:09:55
Speaker 6: I mean, they're gonna sell every spot on that they can.

00:09:58
Speaker 5: That's a good point. Yeah, I hadn't thought about that, but I.

00:10:01
Speaker 6: Still ford it. I think it's better off for stuff like Madness, where you can do like a shooting contest where spots pop up and flames and all the graphics, and you can't really do that in live game.

00:10:10
Speaker 5: We'll see.

00:10:11
Speaker 4: I like the idea of trying to make something cool in a common and I think a conference tournament is an interesting way to start it, uh a major one, because like I said, chances are very low that somebody's gonna be playing to go to the tournament.

00:10:25
Speaker 5: Maybe, but it's unlikely.

00:10:27
Speaker 6: Someone at RUP told me when they were installing the one for Madness, they dropped one of the panels and broke it, and that did not go over well with the LED people, like they have extras like, hey, let's let's be careful with our glass panels.

00:10:39
Speaker 5: We'll be interesting to see what it looks like. Who's next?

00:10:40
Speaker 3: Shiton Bob and Jamestown.

00:10:42
Speaker 4: Bob and Jamestown eight five to nine, twenty two eighty seven.

00:10:45
Speaker 5: Go ahead, Matt.

00:10:47
Speaker 7: Tomorrow night at nine o'clock, ESPN is gonna showcase the last unbeaten team that hadn't played anybody, my all, my modern Miami University in a while at Mallette Hall o'clock tomorrow night.

00:11:01
Speaker 5: Yeah, I saw that.

00:11:03
Speaker 4: I'm I'm thinking about next Friday night going to the Miami of Ohio game if they are still undefeated.

00:11:10
Speaker 5: So uh, we'll see what happens.

00:11:11
Speaker 4: But yeah, they are on ESPN tomorrow tomorrow night, so they're being undefeated at the world will get to see them.

00:11:19
Speaker 7: But in the following week they go to UMass for the probably their toughest game. Yeah at Massa.

00:11:25
Speaker 5: All right, well, uh, well we'll see. I didn't know that was your alma mater, but go what is it?

00:11:30
Speaker 6: RedHawks appreciate Frank Martin Frank Martin stands in their way of an undefeated season.

00:11:41
Speaker 5: Breaking news Shannon running on AH.

00:11:46
Speaker 4: The newest guest on the Anti Bashir podcast is Rick Patino, and in his interview, Rick Patino says for the first time that he knows he should have been.

00:11:58
Speaker 5: Fired at u of L. He admits that admits he should have been fired at u of L.

00:12:04
Speaker 1: For so many years. He was like, you know, I knew nothing it was I didn't.

00:12:08
Speaker 4: I don't think he says he knew something, but he's basically, is I think taking responsibility of it was under my watch?

00:12:14
Speaker 1: Is he growing up right in front of Yeah?

00:12:17
Speaker 5: Well, I mean you might as well do it at some point, right, Yeah. The questions will you listen? You're gonna tune in? Yeah, I listen.

00:12:25
Speaker 4: I think it's it's very short. It looks like it's like thirty three minutes. I feel like I can get through.

00:12:30
Speaker 6: In that case, I might listen. I gotta drive behind on my indie podcast. We got to drive to Radcliffe tomorrow. I'll listen to.

00:12:35
Speaker 4: Apparently talks a lot about his time at Kentucky, tells Richie Farmer stories.

00:12:39
Speaker 1: Oh good, that kind of stuff. I love when he talks like that you know back in the day.

00:12:44
Speaker 5: So yeah, I think I will. I think I would listen to it.

00:12:47
Speaker 6: Did you see the picture he tweeted last night of all those guys at dinner in New York, Rip Pete. Does this guy not look like he cloned John Caliperi and made him sit by him?

00:12:55
Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, that does look like John Calar Like, let me see that.

00:12:58
Speaker 6: He's like, I missed being near Cow. I have to have a carbon copy of Cat to go to rows with. Okay, so this is under at real Patino.

00:13:06
Speaker 5: That's his account. That looks like Ai John Cow.

00:13:09
Speaker 6: It's like he ordered a clone of Cow that he wants to just take my yellow.

00:13:13
Speaker 5: With a scarf.

00:13:14
Speaker 6: Yes, Steve's Steve's looking like a big money there the Cow clones.

00:13:18
Speaker 1: He really does look like right there. It looks just like him.

00:13:22
Speaker 3: Man John like that.

00:13:24
Speaker 5: No, that is t MoU Cow that people say people look like somebody? That really and he made him sit by him? T move Cow. Who's next.

00:13:36
Speaker 3: Let's go to Josh, Josh, go.

00:13:37
Speaker 8: Ahead, Josh, Hey, I just want to say things. Well, when I went to the Arkansas game, that was electric, that was super fun.

00:13:46
Speaker 5: Oh you were you were in you were in Fayetteville. You were in Faetteville.

00:13:50
Speaker 8: I was well down there.

00:13:53
Speaker 5: They had to be great.

00:13:54
Speaker 8: It was yeah, about one, about fifty bucks from an Arkansas fan, but yeah, and then Tennessee sucks number two and then number three. I don't know if you've seen this, but in the Oklahoma game, Brandon Garrison got pushed down going for rebound and when he got up, he called the Oklahoma person the female dog basically do that.

00:14:17
Speaker 4: But that doesn't shock me that Garrison may have done that.

00:14:21
Speaker 5: Well. Yeah, being at that Arkansas, I appreciate you call.

00:14:26
Speaker 4: I think I can't think of many games it would have been better to be at you.

00:14:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd be safe, and you go to a road environment like that, but I think that place talk about Garrison, Pope immediately ran on the floor like that's when he like immediately ran out there kind of calmed him down a little bit. Like within a second he was.

00:14:41
Speaker 4: Knowing, Uh, if you have cold mornings, dark commutes or winter weather, stopped by Clark's Pumping Shop, Uh, they'll brighten your day.

00:15:29
Speaker 5: Murder in Louisville. It's called Murder in glitter Ball City. What do we know about it?

00:15:37
Speaker 6: Body of James Carroll was killed his mansion on Fourth Street, in his mansion on fort four Street.

00:15:44
Speaker 5: So that's old Louisville, Shannon, right.

00:15:46
Speaker 4: Uhses, Yeah, there's some huge houses back there, some beautiful houses.

00:15:53
Speaker 5: So he was murdered in one of those. Based on a book.

00:15:55
Speaker 6: A dark room in glitter Ball City.

00:15:57
Speaker 3: I've never heard of called glitter balls.

00:16:00
Speaker 6: Who calls ex lovers first, I've heard of it. I thought you all would have that answer.

00:16:05
Speaker 5: But who calls Louisville glitter ball City? Why would never one you ever heard that, Shannon? Never? No, Why would it be called glitterball City? Or are they saying like his house was glitter ball City? It's not.

00:16:19
Speaker 6: It's not making it clear what glitterball City is. I'm trying to figure that out. I've not heard glitterball City in reference to Louisville before.

00:16:24
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, but a good Louisville, old old Louisville murder mystery. That's probably good watching.

00:16:29
Speaker 1: I'll probably hear him talk about it on the true crime radio show tonight on makes ninety four point five.

00:16:34
Speaker 4: Probably so. James Van Derbeek died from Dawson's Creek.

00:16:39
Speaker 5: Uh, he was, he's he was.

00:16:40
Speaker 1: Our age, young in his forties.

00:16:42
Speaker 4: Yeah, calling cancer. He also was in the I Don't Want Your Life.

00:16:49
Speaker 6: That's how I know him.

00:16:50
Speaker 4: Mox Q one Friday Nights, Varsity Blues, No Varsity Blues, I Don't Want Your Life. I don't think i've ever seen the movie. I just remember that Dawson's Creek was huge. I never watched, but that whole.

00:17:02
Speaker 5: What's the song? I don't want to wait for TV? That came from from that one.

00:17:10
Speaker 2: No, no, I know who he is, but I never watched it. Varsity Blue, I.

00:17:16
Speaker 4: Don't think I have. I've seen that clip, but I don't know that I ever. Actually is that the one with the whip cream?

00:17:23
Speaker 6: Okay, I've seen that, Yeah, yep, yep. Also scene I do.

00:17:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, say that's you're gonna remember one? That would be it.

00:17:31
Speaker 5: That's the scene I remember.

00:17:32
Speaker 6: Paul Walker also on that. They've had some young deaths from that cast. But that's a movie I saw many many times. One is into Dawson's Creek. But Varsity Blues is a class very.

00:17:40
Speaker 4: Sad though in the reminder because he had colon cancer, right a reminder to get the colonoscopy which you just did.

00:17:46
Speaker 5: Which you just did a couple of weeks ago. Because that's really sad.

00:17:49
Speaker 4: And he was, you know, he was I think forty five when he was when he was diagnosed with it.

00:17:54
Speaker 1: I I didn't know him. I didn't watch the movie, but it is just sad. In time, a young person dies way too young, and so I hated to hear.

00:18:00
Speaker 5: That a lot of kids too.

00:18:02
Speaker 9: Uh.

00:18:02
Speaker 4: UK Baseball starts their season tomorrow at UNC Greensboro. Oddly games not on TV this weekend. I don't know why, so you could listen though.

00:18:11
Speaker 1: On WLAP World White, Todd Harris will be live streaming game for UK.

00:18:15
Speaker 6: Baseball, texting me that too. He's gonna stream it on something.

00:18:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's gonna hold up a phone in the stream the whole game. If you want to watch UK Baseball this weekend worldwide. His son's in the rotation right yes, late, and I'll privy pitching.

00:18:27
Speaker 4: So they uh Kentucky's rank preseason top twenty five. I think I kind of want to get into the year this year. I hope it's not too cold when they start playing the home games. But we have apparently a rotation. We got a dude from Houston who can throw like one hundred and forty one miles an hour.

00:18:45
Speaker 1: Oh a lot.

00:18:46
Speaker 3: That would be a record today.

00:18:47
Speaker 5: That's what makes it exciting.

00:18:49
Speaker 6: Tyler Bell's back. He's like unanimous first team All American. He put on some size. He's gonna be one of the best players in the country and world wide.

00:18:56
Speaker 4: Todd Harris, who you've heard us talk about for years, his son is in the rotation light and not he's I think the Saturday or Sunday starter.

00:19:04
Speaker 6: They use him for the graphic. That's when you know your big deal when they're putting you the face.

00:19:08
Speaker 4: Do you think this fan base, I feel like this fan base follows baseball quite a bit more. I mean, we're we have two riders now covering it for a KSR. Are you excited about the season?

00:19:19
Speaker 5: I am.

00:19:19
Speaker 1: I mean they're coming off the you know, the first ever trip to the College World Series. They're making a deep run in the nca Tournament a year after year after year. You have to be excited about, especially when you talked about like you said, this rotation is supposed to be one of the best in the SEC, their weekend rotation, So good luck to them.

00:19:33
Speaker 4: They're they're gonna be paying playing the scrappy stuff.

00:19:36
Speaker 5: They that their weaknesses.

00:19:38
Speaker 4: They worry if they have enough hitting, so they're gonna be doing all the stuff they used to do.

00:19:41
Speaker 6: That's sorry. I think they're gonna have a good year. I've really gotten into them the last couple of seasons. I feel I feel like a little early, like it's snuck up on everyone and I hate that it's not even on TV this weekend. But once they get a little farther than the year and have these home games and lectionning with some good weather, you'll see.

00:19:55
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're easy to me that there's snow on the ground and we're playing.

00:20:00
Speaker 6: In North Carolina. I don't feel like that's far enough north.

00:20:02
Speaker 1: And baseball opens next week in Kentucky here. Yes, what they're playing high school baseball here. Next week'st week. They open up next week.

00:20:11
Speaker 5: Yah, my goodness.

00:20:12
Speaker 1: I want to tell about the Tyler Bell and he was a second round draft pick out of high school and he turned it down to go to UK. He said, I bet on my I'm betting on myself.

00:20:21
Speaker 5: Well it looks like it's been working out for him. Yeah. Our first home.

00:20:25
Speaker 6: Games Tuesday, Morehead So we play here next week?

00:20:29
Speaker 5: Yes?

00:20:30
Speaker 1: Wow?

00:20:31
Speaker 6: And then I think maybe a late basketball game that night. Maybe what'd you say six? I was supposed to be in the sixties Tuesday. Well, perfect timing. There we go, perfect timing.

00:20:41
Speaker 5: Who's up first, Robert or next? Robert? Go ahead, Robert?

00:20:46
Speaker 9: Hey, Yeah, I think I know why they called it glitter ball City. Okay, there's a fun fact. Louisville makes like at one time, or still does, makes most of the disco mirror just go glitter balls. And I'm assuming it has something.

00:21:03
Speaker 10: To do with that.

00:21:03
Speaker 9: I don't know if it was somebody who owned the company that made him or something.

00:21:07
Speaker 5: I have heard that, but I didn't think it was Louisville.

00:21:10
Speaker 4: I remember when I was doing my book hearing that there was a town in Kentucky that made all the glitter balls.

00:21:16
Speaker 5: I wanted to say, it was like, but you're saying it's Louisville.

00:21:22
Speaker 9: Well, if I remember right, at one time it was in Louisville, they may have moved to New Albany and moved back to Louisville. But if you look it up by you know who makes all the glitter balls? Google that way, I'm sure that'll probably connect the ducks.

00:21:35
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I appreciate the call. I've never heard that. Hey, that's kind of a fun fact. But I've never heard.

00:21:40
Speaker 6: That there's a glitter ball City walking tour in Louisville.

00:21:43
Speaker 5: There's a glitter ball City walking tour.

00:21:46
Speaker 4: Well, here the text machine usually has these answers. Somebody will know, ye why they call it glitter ball City.

00:21:53
Speaker 5: All right, here we go.

00:21:54
Speaker 6: I have an answer, okay, from disco balls Wikipedia page. They are mostly made in Louisville at Omega National Products. So there, so we are or not we Louisville is the glitter.

00:22:06
Speaker 5: Balls even now. Huh why have we never heard of this? I don't know.

00:22:11
Speaker 4: Louis is the world's largest manufacturer of disco balls. There are even more disco balls made in Louisville than in China and Japan, which our second and third.

00:22:20
Speaker 6: Omega claims to have made ninety percent of all disco balls. Wow, and there was a resurgence in disco balls in twenty twenty.

00:22:28
Speaker 4: So they say you can't bring manufacturing to America. Apparently you can so long as you're making glitter balls.

00:22:35
Speaker 1: I didn't know they were still in.

00:22:36
Speaker 5: Made on Baxter Avenue. Shook at that again.

00:22:39
Speaker 2: That's right up the street from here. Go get a disco ball and just hanging out in the studio.

00:22:44
Speaker 5: Who knew?

00:22:45
Speaker 11: All right?

00:22:45
Speaker 5: Who's next?

00:22:45
Speaker 3: All right, that's Steve up next, Steve, go ahead, Steve.

00:22:49
Speaker 11: Hey, guys, glad y'all are finally getting rid of the snow up there?

00:22:53
Speaker 5: Thank you? About forty seconds?

00:22:55
Speaker 11: Uh okay, yeah, I think the key to Saturday's game is yellowch We got to get a big game out of him with his size, we may him and have to go big with all three bigs in at the same time.

00:23:10
Speaker 4: Yeah, there are some some teams have had to do that. I think that would really hurt us if we have to do it. But yellowch is a dude who can shoot and also be a big and that he will.

00:23:21
Speaker 5: But I agree with you, he actually is huge on Saturday.

00:23:25
Speaker 11: All right, guys, well, appreciu and thank you.

00:23:29
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a tough, tough matchup. We're here at Chas Margaret. We'll take a break, be right back.

Speaker 3: Here's Matt Jones.

00:23:43
Speaker 4: I'd never heard of this song, Shinnon, until six months ago, and then on TikTok I found a zach Top.

00:23:52
Speaker 5: Cover of it. Everything that's glitters is not gold and it's great covers.

00:23:57
Speaker 4: I like zach Top a lot. Then I found on TikTok, I gotta send this to you, Shannon. I don't know what was happening. They got, like every big country music star in the early eighties to sit in a circle and sing together really serious. It's like Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Ricky Skaggs.

00:24:18
Speaker 5: It's got George straight like they're all sitting in a circle.

00:24:23
Speaker 4: Dan Seals is there, and Dan Seals sings this song and they all sing the chorus with it, really and it's kind of awesome.

00:24:32
Speaker 1: Does sound awesome?

00:24:33
Speaker 5: And the uh and and I think this song is actually really great. Do you know this song?

00:24:39
Speaker 1: I know the song, but I don't know this story about them.

00:24:41
Speaker 4: I may Shannon during the next Pert, I may send you. Maybe you can play it in the next Bert. The version it's it's it's it's a lot slower than this version. But they're all just sitting in a circle singing together. I didn't. I don't think that happens now. A country singers just getting a circle. And I think Emmy Lou Harris is sitting there like it's all these big fam people.

00:25:00
Speaker 6: I'm picturing them on the floor, were in chairs. I'm seeing them all just sitting around on the ground with guitars.

00:25:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, they No, they're all sitting in like a semi circle with guitars. It's it's just it's kind of cool, so we need to bring that back five nine, two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. One person writes Matt, what is Ryan doing for his woman on Valentine's Day?

00:25:20
Speaker 1: Well, I told you already gave her the mostal mantic gift I've ever given anyone on Valentine's Day. I bought her tickets to go see the Houston Rockets play the Indiana Pacers because she likes read Shepherd. Kind of hard to top that one. I'm already got a in for the couple of years now.

00:25:32
Speaker 5: So you're not gonna do anything. It's what you're saying.

Speaker 1: But it used to be called Table three ten.

00:26:04
Speaker 6: Yeah, changed ownership, kind of kept saying the tables the address, big three fans each standing up. They recently just like changed their vibe, not really telling anyone, which is fine, stilling a great time.

00:26:14
Speaker 5: But I walked in just a little bit. What's three ten? I don't know what it is?

00:26:18
Speaker 1: I don't it's it's a restaurant to name the rest? Where is it over by cheapside? And uh, okay, so you're you're going to a new restaurant. Yeah, you're gonna wear something fancy. I'll probably you don't put on my expensive jeans and a nice little.

00:26:33
Speaker 1: Well, you know they're five hundred pair of jeans I won at the John Caliperry Fantasy Camp. They only come out for special occasions. The blue Delta jeans.

00:26:40
Speaker 5: I forgot. You won those?

00:26:42

Speaker 5: Too, Okay, not necessary. Who's up next?

00:27:02
Speaker 3: Let's go to Joseph.

00:27:04
Speaker 5: Joseph, go ahead, Joseph.

00:27:08
Speaker 12: Hey Man.

00:27:08
Speaker 9: Two things here, What is that going to take save the basketball season this year?

00:27:14
Speaker 5: And? Uh?

00:27:15
Speaker 12: What does Hope have to do in the off season to get fans on board for next year?

00:27:19
Speaker 4: As far as I think fans are on board next year regardless, I mean, I you know, Kentucky basketball, Kentucky football, the fans sometimes have to.

00:27:29
Speaker 5: Be sold on the season. I think Kentucky basketball.

00:27:33
Speaker 4: Can you think of the sea of a year ever that Kentucky basketball fans haven't been excited going in the year.

00:27:40
Speaker 1: No, even the nineteen sixteen year, we were all jacked up.

00:27:43
Speaker 4: I mean, let's let's think about it. What is the last year that Kentucky fans were not excited going into the season.

00:27:51
Speaker 6: I don't think I have one. You know something else, You talk yourself into it.

00:27:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, that's exactly right. I think you talk yourself into it. Maybe one of those last year or two of Tubby maybe, but I still think people get into it. I don't see any scenario where fans are not excited about next season rallying around the team. You know, maybe if they just completely bomb in the portal and don't get anybody. But if they do that, then they're gonna be bringing a lot of these guys back.

00:28:24
Speaker 5: And so people will know the players.

00:28:26
Speaker 1: We talk ourselves into it every offseason and get excited about the upcoming season. I think I think even like Billy's two years, we were excited going into the season with the roster he head. It just didn't work out. So I think your answer may be right. One of those last two Tubby years.

00:28:38
Speaker 4: Let's make a prediction here. There are thirteen guys on the team. Three of them can't come back Oway Aberdeen, and let's just assume Quaintance is going to the draft, so that leaves ten players on the team that are scholarship players. I'm gonna throw Hawthorne as the tenth. Let's leave Rhese Potter out just because we haven't seen.

00:28:59
Speaker 5: Him at all. So ten guys.

00:29:01
Speaker 4: How many of those ten guys are playing for Kentucky next year? Without saying names, just the number of the ten we have, of the ten that could return, how many come back?

00:29:14
Speaker 5: I'll say five. Five. Let me let me count in my head who I've got.

00:29:19
Speaker 4: I think you got one two, three, I'm gonna make them four, five, I'm gonna say six.

00:29:28
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say six of the ten come back. What about you?

00:29:31
Speaker 1: I was gonna go four, and I was almost getting ready to say three.

00:29:34
Speaker 6: I was close for four than six. If that helps, I'm like a four point five.

00:29:38
Speaker 5: Okay, you think it could just be three?

00:29:41
Speaker 1: I think it's possible.

00:29:42
Speaker 5: Okay, that's interesting. What about you? Ship?

00:29:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought half, so five is what I would guess.

00:29:48
Speaker 5: It's interesting to think.

00:29:49
Speaker 4: I mean, I I won't make you all go. I'm gonna I'm gonna take as a given that Moreno, Williams and chan Alert.

00:30:00
Speaker 5: And Hawthorne will be back. So I'm taking those four.

00:30:05
Speaker 6: I think we have to pay Moreno, so pay him.

00:30:07
Speaker 4: We'll pay He'll he'll they'll find it. They're not gonna let a Kentucky kid that's been like you. They're not gonna let him get out. I would be I mean, maybe i'd be wrong, but I there'll be local business. It's no local businesses will step up for him. I'd say, I feel good about it. Yeah, But that wasn't no offense to Travis Perry. He hadn't shown what Michael Moreno has shown. I don't think there was the pressure to try to keep him. So I'm gonna say those four yes for.

00:30:35
Speaker 5: Sure, and then then it gets a little dicey. Then it gets more dicey.

00:30:41
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say they find a way to want to and do keep two other guys, but I would not be certain what to But if you made me go all right, Matt, go all in on who the other two would be, I would say Noah.

00:30:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think Yellowitch is an interest.

00:31:04
Speaker 4: I said that was gonna be my next one, Yellowvich, but or Low, I don't know what they're gonna do.

00:31:09
Speaker 5: I don't know what they're gonna do with it. I don't know whether they want him, so I don't know.

00:31:15
Speaker 6: People might not like my take, but take the emotions out of it. Recruit over everyone except maybe Marino, go get the best in the portal. Sorry, you would recruit over camb Williams though every single position, I'm offering the best player and seeing what happens.

00:31:30
Speaker 5: Yeah, I disagree with you there.

00:31:32
Speaker 4: I like those three that I feel really good about. I think you bring those guys back. Now you go and maybe try to get guys better than them, but you try to bring like.

00:31:41
Speaker 6: I liked that Low tried to play. But I think you go into this offseason trying to find the best point guard in the country. You would and you do that just about every single spot on.

00:31:48
Speaker 4: If our guys entered the portal, let's say moreno, Williams and Chandler entered the portal, they would be top twenty five guys.

00:31:57
Speaker 5: In the portal, all three of them. Yeah, so you've got him, don't let him go some of those other guys.

00:32:05
Speaker 4: I'm not disagreeing with you on, but those three guys would be ranked in the top twenty five in the portal, don't you think.

00:32:10
Speaker 1: I think so. I think Trent's gonna be interesting. You know, he's playing a lot now, but I'm sure he was unhappy before, you know, in the middle of the season. Yellowch is a guy who's starting now. But I can see, you know, the fact that he's he could return home from his home country and play professionally.

00:32:24
Speaker 4: Yeah he could, or yeah, there's a lot of things he could do. Who's next, Terry, Terry, go ahead, Terry.

00:32:29
Speaker 12: A couple of entertainment things in a basketball take. Did you know Dan Sills was the U in the group England, Dan and john Ford Coley in his soft rock days.

00:32:41
Speaker 5: Never heard of that group, so no, I did not.

00:32:45
Speaker 12: I know Shannon knows him, and I got a show recommendation for you guys, especially Drew, because I think he likes these kinds of things. It just came out in January.

00:32:57
Speaker 11: Bring of a.

00:32:58
Speaker 5: Killer see again you you broke up what was the name of it?

00:33:03
Speaker 12: Memory of a Killer with the pat Patrick Dempsey McDreamy. He's like a he's a lives a double life.

00:33:11
Speaker 7: Good right right?

00:33:12
Speaker 5: That one that play.

00:33:13
Speaker 12: And as far as the Florida game, Florida game, you look at who's who. They've played their last five games. I'm taking nothing away from Florida. They're playing great, but they haven't exactly been playing teams that are defensively strong, so and they're not going to continue to beat everybody about thirty points. That's got's the end at some point in might as well be Saturday buying up and listening appreciate it.

00:33:38
Speaker 4: Call yeah, I mean that's we'll see. I think that's a game Saturday. That's either we're really competitive and in it or we get blown off the streets.

00:33:48
Speaker 1: What will the spreadbee? You think when it comes.

00:33:49
Speaker 6: Out Florida by eight and a half because they close to ten. I'll say no and a half just to be different.

00:34:48
Speaker 4: We'll take a break right BACKKSR See, I think this is really cool. It's just the one with all the country guys all they're all sitting around like a semi circle and they're singing. A guy like this song too, Shannon, because he does the thing you know, I like with the voice when people.

00:35:04
Speaker 5: Go in a second.

00:35:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, like when when John Anderson died. I always like when guys change their voice from hide to low or whatever really quick.

00:35:14
Speaker 3: It's had to be a long time ago because Roy Clark's in this video.

00:35:17
Speaker 5: Yeah, Roy Clark is in it. Who's flong dead?

00:35:19
Speaker 1: Yeah?

00:35:20
Speaker 5: So yeah, I kind of cool.

00:35:22
Speaker 1: I want to see the video though.

00:35:24
Speaker 4: It's on TikTok TikTok On TikTok I five nine, two eighth twenty two eighty seven. One person writes, Matt Drew's correct about how we should approach the portal. Your appach would be making the same mistake we've made the last two years and not getting guys who were the dude at their last school. Chandler and Cam don't fit that.

00:35:40
Speaker 5: Bill.

00:35:42
Speaker 4: I understand that philosophy, but I also think, you know, we can't get everybody we want. We saw that in the last portal. You know, there's a lot of guys we wanted that we didn't get. It's A part of what I would ask is if if Cam Williams goes into portal, what schools are gonna want I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say Michael Moreno and Cam Williams will be wanted by everybody.

00:36:06
Speaker 5: Malachi Well I was.

00:36:08
Speaker 4: Saying, I'm sorry, Malachi Moreno, and Cam Williams and Colin Chandler I think would be wanted by most people, maybe not everybody. So if you have guys that everybody wants, then I think you want to keep those guys. Now, some other of our guys would only be wanted Drew by some teams and so, but I think those three guys with the exception may be due because they've got so many people coming in.

00:36:32
Speaker 5: I think everybody would want those three guys.

00:36:35
Speaker 6: I like Cam Williams. I hope we keep him. But if there's a star out there that I think you throw them a bag. I mean, we still haven't seen Cam williams potential. Maybe he never hits it. Maybe, And a lot of it is how this year ends. If they don't make the weekend of the SEC Tournament, lose first week in n C Double A, then are.

00:36:49
Speaker 5: Those guys all gonna be hot? Portal targets.

00:36:52
Speaker 4: Malachi is gonna be the other way, and Pope can't lose Malachi. Maraine agreed, like, he cannot lose him for any reason.

00:37:03
Speaker 6: I consider him one of the stars that you would go out and chase. Like, I wouldn't recruit over him, but I would look at everyone else and say, hey, I'm calling. People will figure it out, but I have to go out and find the best.

00:37:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm hearing that a lot like what you said. Your text were just saying that last year they went out and got six man in Aberdeen, six man in Dbate, six man and Camway. If they didn't know it's necessarily why to get a dude?

00:37:23
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just saw so that would remind you of the portal list last year. Not as many dudes, right, Like a lot of guys are staying at their schools. So the guys you get, I mean, we did we have what the third or fourth highest ranked portal class. Now you're right, the difference between recruiting sixth men and best players at their school, I think is an important difference. But you know, Donovan Didt was a number one point guard. He was the dude at New Mexico he's not been very good, so I think I don't think Mark Pope.

00:37:57
Speaker 5: I'll finish with this.

00:37:58
Speaker 4: Mark Pope is not a coach who I think you can turn his whole roster over, and he's great at that, you know, I think you see. I think having dudes getting their second year helps. Really hadn't helped with Garrison a lot but for the but I think he helped with O Way. I think he helped with Chandler. So a third year to me with those guys would be good. Who's next?

00:38:18
Speaker 5: Shannon? Go ahead, Shannon, Hey, I want to.

00:38:22
Speaker 11: Give a shout out to the Trancy men and women or both of them are leading their conference. The men are sitting at fifteen and eight.

00:38:31
Speaker 5: Oh no, what happens with these people's phones? Is that us or them share with them? Okay, well, I'm sorry. Shout out to the transit Trancy and shout out to Trancy. I would like to who's good in high school basketball this year? Did I see that?

00:38:45
Speaker 1: Like?

00:38:46
Speaker 5: Is Davis County number one?

00:38:47
Speaker 1: Davis County's got a kid named Moss who's being recruited, like by I think Maryland's even recruiting. He likes a major kid. Saint X's got maybe the best sophomore in this he is the best.

00:38:57
Speaker 5: Who are like the five best team this Catholics really good, Catholic Davis County coming and Catholic. Who else?

00:39:03
Speaker 6: Madison Madison Central's really yeah?

00:39:05
Speaker 5: Right?

00:39:05
Speaker 1: That Central's best team around here? For sure? They got Felth House's kid, Darren Felt. House's kid is going to Belmont.

00:39:10
Speaker 5: Is anybody good in the Mountains, I'm.

00:39:13
Speaker 1: Sure there are. Let's just go ahead and say Middlesborough's good.

00:39:17
