Speaker 1: One of the biggest misconceptions about buying a home right now is that you have to wait for the perfect moment, perfect rates, perfect timing, perfect market. The truth is that moment doesn't really exist. A lot of buyers pause because of headlines or assumptions, but every situation is different. Race change, market shift, and personal goals matter just as much as what's happening nationally. That's why talking to a local lender can be so valuable. When you contact Doctor Mortgage, you get paired up with a local lender. That lender will give you your options. That lender will explain the situation. You can ask your own questions. That's what it's all about, getting to the closing table as simple and as easy as possible. Our friends at scot To 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 4: Number two Kentucky Sports Radio eight five to nine, two eighth, twenty two eighty seven, Text Machine seven seven two seven four five two five four. Celebrating the big win against the Balls. Drew got a cool thing coming up Wednesday night. Cornbread Hemp is sponsoring fifteen hundred dollars in prize money at Ksbar the college basketball pick Them contest. We are gonna pick games at Ksbar against the spread. Kentucky doesn't play this week, all right, if you think you are good at college basketball, pick them. Cornbread Hemp is sponsoring, and we give money to first, second, and third place. I think one thousand bucks for first place. Wow, all right, good, that's pretty good money. And all you gotta do is we're gonna pick a slate of all the games that are on TV that night. You're gonna pick them, and then we'll all watch them, and over time it'll be like we do with the National Chip and football. People will rise and fall and we will have a champ that will win money. I'm very excited about it Corn Brad Himton Spontsor We're gonna do it one more time later in the year, and then we might do it for the NCAA tournament as well.

00:02:13
Speaker 3: But it is a pick them challenge. It is Wednesday night.

00:02:17
Speaker 4: You have to be at the restaurant at six thirty because we have to get the picks in, all right, so six thirty and then it'll go through the early games. It'll be like seven to like nine thirty or whatever.

00:02:27
Speaker 3: I'll be there. I'm in seeing it. We're going we Drew.

00:02:30
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be a lot of fun, and you and I will pick as well and Ryan and we'll see if our picks hold up against theirs.

00:02:37
Speaker 5: It's a good idea because we need something to do this. This is weird being middle of February, we have all this basketball assignment exciting that we have a bye week, so I'm glad this will give all of us ksr BBN something to pay attention to and get together while we have this unique pause in our basketball excitement.

00:02:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks to Corn Brad HMP for doing it and Ryan. I'm ready to rock with it. I think this is gonna be really good and people you know, it's like, hey, why don't we do something fun? But you don't have to put your own money on the line free to enter. All you have to do is come to the bar and hang out. Uh and you know, hopefully you buy things, but you don't have to. But you come and uh it should be a good time.

00:03:14
Speaker 1: I love this idea. Yeah, it's like Drew said, the perfect week to do it on. We kind of got a bye week this week, so fun.

00:03:20
Speaker 4: So you need to start researching the Wednesday games now, Okay, I I don't know what the big Wednesday games are, but we'll be talking more about it as a week goes on. I'm looking forward to it. One person writes, Matt, Uh, ski jumpers start by landing in the water. That's how they begin their careers.

00:03:38
Speaker 2: That makes sense, makes sense?

00:03:39
Speaker 3: Is that true? Though? That doesn't seem right. Just ski into the ocean.

00:03:44
Speaker 2: Like what are they?

00:03:47
Speaker 1: Yeah?

00:03:48
Speaker 4: I thought, I said, I would think when your ski hits the water, you'd have a chance of like your leg kicking out like it feels like to me that would be dangerous.

00:03:57
Speaker 2: You ever heard of water skin?

00:03:59
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you're not coming from above and landing. I mean, I don't know. I mean, if they say that's what happens, then that's what happened.

00:04:06
Speaker 2: I think the skis maybe would pull you under too a life jacket on.

00:04:10
Speaker 4: I think the ski would hit and then like skid and maybe like tear your leg.

00:04:17
Speaker 3: I don't know.

00:04:17
Speaker 1: Well they had they have water ski jumping. When those guys jump off the ramps.

00:04:21
Speaker 3: Maybe that's the same. I don't know. I know.

00:04:23
Speaker 4: Oh, so you're saying you think Ryan, they land and then ski for Yeah, I think that's probably what I was thinking.

00:04:28
Speaker 2: They just dropped for the first time. You probably did, you.

00:04:32
Speaker 3: Know, you think that's how you do it.

00:04:38
Speaker 5: I mean, whoever submitted that already knows more than me if they know anything. But it seems unlikely to me that it would be water.

00:04:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you don't do anything else this week, go on Peacock and watch the men's.

00:04:50
Speaker 3: Or women's downhill with those drugs. I'm telling you, it'll blow your mind.

00:04:54
Speaker 5: It looks like if they were to get off by an inch, they would disappear into the woods and we would never see them again. Yeah, that's what I mean. They would just fly off the side of the screen to be never heard from again.

00:05:03
Speaker 4: And I also like these sports chanting because I've become an expert really quick.

00:05:07
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, I don't have to.

00:05:10
Speaker 4: Know anything about it. But then the moment I'm like, see she went too far. She went to watch oh all that jump and I didn't handle it. You know, I act like I know what's going on immediately.

00:05:20
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:05:20
Speaker 2: I don't have a clue when it comes to any of these Olympic sports.

00:05:23
Speaker 3: But that's good. But you start to learn.

00:05:25
Speaker 2: I think Bob's letting would be like maybe the easiest because you're in there with other people and you just have.

00:05:30
Speaker 3: To the heart. But as the American show, the heartest is getting in the body.

00:05:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get in and that's that's yeah, that's true. You gotta get in there first. Once you're in there, I feel like you could, you know, it would be the easiest thing you can do.

00:05:39
Speaker 3: I would think only the guy in front drives, like if you're like third.

00:05:42
Speaker 2: Just shifting your weight from there.

00:05:45
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, all right, So super Bowl was last night. Let's talk about some Super super Bowl stuff. First of all, Ryan game, Yeah kind of boring, right, The game was not one, not a very exciting super Bowl.

00:05:56
Speaker 1: I guess maybe some football purists like the defensive struggle back and forth, but he was kind of boring to watch.

00:06:02
Speaker 3: Glad to field E see me glad the Seahawks won.

00:06:05
Speaker 4: Drake May was awful, which makes me happy because I don't like the Patriots specifically because of Bill Simmons and Drew Eye.

00:06:12
Speaker 3: Was very glad to see him get destroyed.

00:06:15
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's cool that Seattle has such a great defense and one in the game, but when one of the teams still hasn't scored in the fourth quarter, it's not the most exciting product for everyone watching at home. But it was a dominant performance. It'll just happen to be one of the most forgettable super Bowls for me.

00:06:29
Speaker 3: You really will.

00:06:29
Speaker 4: That'll be a super Bowl that like, we'll never talk about that super Bowl again. I mean, unless you're a Seahawks fan, Ryan, why would you ever care about it?

00:06:39
Speaker 3: Again?

00:06:40
Speaker 1: Nothing memorable at all from the game, really, none at all from the game itself.

00:06:45
Speaker 4: Halftime show, the good thing, Shannon, No controversy, right, nobody liked it.

00:06:51
Speaker 6: Everybody everyone agreed that they were a fan.

00:06:58
Speaker 1: Man, that's so mad at you. You, I mean, I am really.

00:07:03
Speaker 4: I asked people what they were thinking. I thought you would want to know what people were thinking.

00:07:06
Speaker 1: No, I don't know why you tag me in that tweet. Just send their stop.

00:07:10
Speaker 4: I thought you would want to know, you know, you want to have a better fact.

00:07:14
Speaker 3: Maybe more people should tell you what they think.

00:07:16
Speaker 2: Now now that they've had some time.

00:07:18
Speaker 4: Now they've had to some time to reflect, they can tell you what they think.

00:07:23
Speaker 1: I was so mad at you, like, look what he did. Look well, look exactly what he did. I got all this stuff coming in. I couldn't even follow with anything else. Was just one after the other, people grapping about the halftime show.

00:07:33
Speaker 3: All right, so here's my take on the halftime show. If you why does it?

00:07:40
Speaker 4: I will never understand shit and why it makes people so mad. If you don't like it, that's okay, right, Like it's not doesn't have to be for you.

00:07:50
Speaker 3: I thought it was cool.

00:07:51
Speaker 4: Now I don't understand Spanish, so I didn't know what he was saying, but I thought the visuals were.

00:07:56
Speaker 3: Kind of cool.

00:07:58
Speaker 4: I I like the the fact that the couple got married.

00:08:01
Speaker 3: Did you see they got married?

00:08:03
Speaker 1: That was a real wedding?

00:08:04
Speaker 4: Was apparently this couple wrote bad Bunny and said, hey, would you we want you to come to our wedding, Like kind of is it? Like you know, like asking I don't know Tiger Woods to come to your wedding, right, he didn't, But then he invited him them to get married at the super Bowl.

00:08:23
Speaker 1: I thought that was kind of cool.

00:08:24
Speaker 3: I thought, so that was a real wedding.

00:08:27
Speaker 4: Do you think your wives past or present or future would have wanted to get married at not not at the football game, but like during the super Bowl halftime show.

00:08:43
Speaker 3: Do you think that's a cool way to get married?

00:08:45
Speaker 2: It'd be like anybody else.

00:08:49
Speaker 1: Cool for the dude, no doubt about it. I mean, you're the first one to ever do something like that.

00:08:53
Speaker 3: What if your.

00:08:53
Speaker 4: Wife was a bad Bunny fan, because clearly she was a she wouldn't have invited him to the wedding. So, like, think about it. Who's Abby's favorite musical artist?

00:09:06
Speaker 5: It varies. I will say she listened to a lot of KSR. Actually maybe something halftime. I'll say right now, she listened to a lot of Noa Khan.

00:09:13
Speaker 4: Okay, so Noah Khan says, I'm performing the halftime show. Drew and Abby, would you like to get married at the halftime show?

00:09:22
Speaker 3: Do you think she would agree?

00:09:24
Speaker 5: I actually thought about this last night. I think she would for the experience. She's like me, like, what the Yeah, who would get to do this? We should do it, but we would need our own separate ceremony with friends and family like that couldn't be the one ceremony where we're there for two seconds and Noah Khan walks by and then we kiss and that was the wedding. But I think she would do would get to see it, Yeah, I think she would be up for it. But we would probably have another one too, But I think she would do it.

00:09:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, So Pervy didn't know as a real wedding at the time. I didn't find until after the fact that.

00:09:53
Speaker 4: Was a real wedding and they were Porto rican So so for me, like, if they did a Kentucky Super Bowl, shit right, Tyler Childers, Chris Stapleton, Stergel SIPs.

00:10:04
Speaker 2: I know you'd be down to get married to that.

00:10:05
Speaker 4: And they said, we're celebrating, We're having all these Kentuckians out on the field, right, so everybody out there is a Kentucky, which by the way, is kind of what happened just with Puerto Rico. And you can get married at the thing I'm very anti public like that kind of stuff when it comes to dating or whatever.

00:10:28
Speaker 2: Shannon, I think I might do it.

00:10:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I feel like I could find one.

00:10:35
Speaker 2: That's all you need is one you don't need, you just want. I just need one.

00:10:40
Speaker 4: But if it's like a celebration of Kentucky and you can get married, I actually think that's kind of cool.

00:10:46
Speaker 5: I think if you're on at the super Bowl, you gotta find a way to get your registry on the screen. To get I need Billy's digital registry cards to put on the screen so I can benefit from. They had all those trees hedges out there right They were creating the look of like a farm, and there were those hedges were actually people. Yes, would you Ryan want to be one of the people that is a hedge for the Super Bowl?

00:11:13
Speaker 3: But you people won't get to see your face.

00:11:15
Speaker 1: If I was the only way I was gonna get on the field to be a part of it, absolutely from one time, for the experience, I would have dressed up like a shrub and hobble right out there, no doubt about it.

00:11:23
Speaker 3: I know Ry Ryan would do it. Jana, would you do it?

00:11:26
Speaker 2: I wasn't gonna say this but I actually was one of the hedges out there last night, and I wasn't gonna tell you.

00:11:31
Speaker 3: How were I guess there's no way for me to purchu.

00:11:34
Speaker 2: You can't prove what that was. And I was actually there last night back this morning.

00:11:38
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, Drew, Absolutely, whatever you need me to do if I get to be part of the super Bowl halftime show. Oh you need me to be a light pole and have random people climb up and dance on me. Sure, whatever to be a part of it, I'll be a brush or shrub. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I heard you.

00:11:53
Speaker 4: I think that would be I think that would actually be an amazing story. So I liked it. I know a lot of people got mad. Bill he turned on the turning point, USA would on his phone just just to frustrate me.

00:12:07
Speaker 3: Uh so they were running.

00:12:09
Speaker 4: So it was on the regular screen the super Bowl like halftime, and then Billy had had it on his phone. I think the regular one had a little higher production value. People think I made up, Drew stand up for me. People think I made up that the hotel or that the airport bar clapped.

00:12:28
Speaker 3: When it was opened.

00:12:29
Speaker 5: They did, They absolutely did, they did.

00:12:31
Speaker 3: I was surprised but they.

00:12:33
Speaker 5: Did Super Bowl party in there had sound, we.

00:12:36
Speaker 4: Had sound on and they and Ryan, they like half the bar kind of burst into applause.

00:12:41
Speaker 3: When it was over.

00:12:42
Speaker 5: There was one group of three or four people that were very excited, like counting down.

00:12:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were into it.

00:12:49
Speaker 5: But overall, yeah, that wouldn't It wasn't the whole bar. But I'd say half of the people clapped.

00:12:53
Speaker 4: Went on Facebook. Seemed like nobody wanted to share their opinion. Really, yeah, no, a lot of people wanted to share their opinion.

00:13:03
Speaker 3: I don't have to people getting so upset.

00:13:05
Speaker 4: I just remember that when I used to get upset about things, like in twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, I had a lot of people that would say to me, Shannon, snowflake. I mean, I'm not gonna say snowflake now, but maybe a little snowflaky if you're upset about.

00:13:21
Speaker 2: It, right, I don't think anybody really cares what your opinion is, or anybody else or somebody else.

00:13:27
Speaker 3: That's exactly right. Uh. Commercials.

00:13:30
Speaker 4: I didn't get to see all of them, but it did seem like to me, Ryan kind of a letdown on commercials. I thought the Duncan Donuts one that was good people from the nineties TV shows. I like that, but uh, the rest of them, I thought kind of maybe it's maybe we're just past super Bowl commercials now, is it just not?

00:13:48
Speaker 2: Did you like the Budweiser one though, with the eagle? That was very American? The eagles up the box of Clydesdale. It was a Budweiser commercial and there's this Clydesdale on this little bird and it shows time goes on, it grows up and then it looks like this Clidesdale has wings, but it's actually the bald eagle growing up, flying off the back of the horse. It was a free bird playing in the background. Yes it was. It was Leonard skinnerd playing in the background.

00:14:18
Speaker 3: It sounds good.

00:14:19
Speaker 4: I didn't see that one, but yeah, overall, kind of a forgettable super Bowl.

00:14:24
Speaker 3: But what were we going to say? Ryan?

00:14:25
Speaker 1: There are a couple of Backstreet Boys commercials. One they were actually in the commercial boys Backstreet Boys. The other one it was like a karaoke commercial to a Backstreet Boys song.

00:14:35
Speaker 4: I heard they were. The Backstreet Boys got on two different commercials. They must be cashing those checks. They must say that they were ready to get some money, I would think.

00:14:45
Speaker 5: Yeah, good for them. I mean they're selling out the sphere in Vegas, not one but two super Bowl commercials. I thought the best Super Bowl commercial was done here locally with our our friends. Yeah, that's a pretty good get to go and get lightener, even though he to.

00:15:00
Speaker 4: Say UK federal credit unions for all y'all, but maybe not Christian like except you.

00:15:06
Speaker 1: Great commercial epic films put that together.

00:15:08
Speaker 4: Again, I didn't get bumped from Maria Montgomery on that when shit I've been.

00:15:12
Speaker 3: Saying for all y'all for a while.

00:15:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I will say I can understand, I understand why.

00:15:18
Speaker 4: I understand picking Maria mcgum. I get that as a pick, so uh good stuff. How much do you think that dunk and commercial costs?

00:15:26
Speaker 3: With all those celebrities?

00:15:27
Speaker 2: Who was that he had Erkele, he had Jennifer Aniston.

00:15:30
Speaker 4: Ben Affleck, Yeah, yeah, George Costanza from Seinfeld uh, the.

00:15:35
Speaker 1: Girl from Berto Rafonso whatever from Fresh Prince.

00:15:39
Speaker 3: And the girl from Different World.

00:15:42
Speaker 4: Probably the last two probably didn't cost as much, but Jennifer Aniston Ben Affleck, that yea cost a lot of money.

00:15:48
Speaker 3: So tell me about Stockton mortgage.

00:15:50
Speaker 1: Stockton Mortgage, you know what the spring buying seaed is coming up. It's always a hot time to buy a lot of listings hitting the market right now, so you want to be prepared. You want to get that pre approval letter in your hands. When you go out looking at houses, you can make an offer. Don't have to wait on anything. So go start the process now. If you're thinking about buying this spring of this summer, go ahead and get hooked up with the Shockton Markets loan officer. I just referred to a buyer to a Stockton loan Stocking Morgans loan officer last week, so they can work with you. Uh, it's kind of hasse we'll get through the loan operating process. But if you start now, you'll be ready when the spring buying season hits. You're ready to get that house when it hits the market. So go to their website Stockton dot com and I'm my last eight two five nine equal housing lender. I heard Billy did one when you're on their trip, and he did a great job. By the way, Billy did a great job filling in.

00:16:27
Speaker 4: Ski jumpers do learn in the water. Apparently there you go, so there you go. You learn things here on KSR. We'll take a break, Barry back Tucky Sports Radio, Welcome back. This is the only kid rock song that I can take like this one's all right. Well when he says, well, no, that's a good song, when he sings with Sheryl Crow.

00:16:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good picture. Yeah. But they didn't sing that one, did they? I don't know.

00:16:54
Speaker 2: I didn't. I did why. I kind of scrolled through it quickly just to see what was going on, But yeah, that didn't.

00:16:59
Speaker 4: Really it's right to the text machine seven seven two seven seven four five two five four Matt, why would it if you don't think people should get upset about bad Bunny, why would it make you upset about the other one? But didn't make me upset. I just knew Billy was trying to annoy me. Drew like that's what it was, so we watched it. My biggest problem with the other one that I'm fine they did it. I just hate that kind of music. I've been very consistent that I hate new country, and it looked like it was all new country, and I hate that kind of music. I think new country is the worst music on earth. So that's that's my only But if they want to do it, fine, I'm.

00:17:35
Speaker 2: You think it becomes a thing now like wherever you're.

00:17:39
Speaker 3: Probably I hope not, but that my might. I don't.

00:17:42
Speaker 4: I think it made people mad because he was from because he is from Puerto Rico and it was in Spanish. That's what makes people mad. But what I would say is, remember what I just said. If there was a Kentucky Super Bowl. All right, let's say they had Tyler Childer, Sturgel, Simpson, Chris Staples, Ryan, would we not think that's the coolest thing in the world.

00:18:02
Speaker 5: Of course we would.

00:18:03
Speaker 1: We'd love every second.

00:18:04
Speaker 3: We'd love it. We'd love it. Well, Puerto Rico's part of the United States. Yep. So that's what they did.

00:18:12
Speaker 4: And unless you'd be mad if we did a Kentucky one, then how you gonna get mad about this? You're just looking for a reason to be mad. If you want to watch the other one, now, that's fine. We watched them both. Apparently Bad drew because of Billy.

00:18:28
Speaker 5: I just like that. The people like talking about how American it was as he sings about the midnight glancers and the topless dancers, and they're saying, we don't understand bad Bunny as they're watching ball with the ball Debang dbang Buddy, Like I say, you don't like like the I don't like the argument of well this is but he's singing about crackheads and methadone clinics and saying Baltimo. It's not like he's, you know, our founding fathers over there singing towards the flag.

00:18:54
Speaker 4: There's a lot of people shaneon that had to act like they liked that music last night, and there's a lot of people who wanted to like the Bad Bunny who also probably don't like it. But uh uh do you think they should have had subtitle shited? That was a conversation I'll spend so since because people don't know space, I mean I could have.

00:19:12
Speaker 3: I can see the argument.

00:19:14
Speaker 2: I mean, is that gonna make it any better for you that you know what he's saying? Not really, because you don't. You probably don't like the music. You don't like the music, you know, I don't necessarily what he's saying.

00:19:23
Speaker 1: The Little Lady Gogon and Ricky Martin they made.

00:19:26
Speaker 3: And Alex Herrol was up there, which I thought was kind of strange.

00:19:28
Speaker 5: And Cardi B.

00:19:29
Speaker 1: Cardi B made in appearance.

00:19:31
Speaker 4: Uh what about John Shire whining drew about the court storming at Duke Carolina hits a three to win, they stormed the court, John Shire wines says uh. He says, he says someone on his staff got punched. Apparently news stations in North Carolina had a camera on the entire crowd and they see no, they don't see anyone getting punched, which has led some people to say John Shire made it up.

00:20:01
Speaker 3: What do you think he would have made that up? Would he?

00:20:05
Speaker 5: We've had more than well two days now to produce the tape. You know, in this world about everything's on video, especially in a college basketball arena. So I'd say, uh, John, I'm not sure I'm believing you if at this point we still have no video evidence of this, because that would come out if someone punched a coach in the Duke North Carolina game.

00:20:24
Speaker 4: For the record, I said it Ryan the first the moment he said that, I was like, I don't believe that happened.

00:20:30
Speaker 3: I mean, if if.

00:20:31
Speaker 4: Somebody had gotten punched, that dude would have gotten arrested, right if they Happily he said his staff member got punched in the face. I just don't I don't believe that now court storming. I'm for court storming. You couldn't make an argument that North Carolina those too good to court storm.

00:20:48
Speaker 3: Okay, but they did beat Duke at the buzzer.

00:20:52
Speaker 4: So if North Carolina's gonna have for court storm, this would be the time to.

00:20:56
Speaker 3: Do it now.

00:20:58
Speaker 4: I it would bother me maybe a little if Kentucky court stormed. So I can see people say in North Carolina shouldn't court storm, but Ryan in general, if you beat Duke at the buzzer on your home floor, I am fine with court storm. I think it's part of what makes college basketball great.

00:21:17
Speaker 1: I love it and I'm with you, though, is it Dean domed? Does it fit in one of those categories like Allen field House and rob where you not you don't?

00:21:23
Speaker 3: Maybe? Maybe?

00:21:25
Speaker 4: But also I mean, if Kentucky was playing Duke in rup and we hit a three at the buzzer to win, Shandon, would you get mad if the kids stormed because it was all college.

00:21:39
Speaker 3: Kids at storm?

00:21:42
Speaker 2: Don't you get mad?

00:21:43
Speaker 3: If it's again Duke at the buzz.

00:21:45
Speaker 2: I won't get mad about it. But I kind of feel like, come on, you're better than that. You're Kentucky. You don't ever storm the court at Reparina ever.

00:21:52
Speaker 4: But I mean, what are you gonna do. You're gonna be the hall monitor out there looking at the No.

00:21:55
Speaker 2: No, it doesn't make me mad at all. I just don't think you do that as a fan base. But if you do it, I'm not gonna like cry about it. I just think that you sue about do you do it?

00:22:06
Speaker 5: And I'd still I like saying we don't do that here. I mean, I'm with Shannon. If I'm there and the eruption zone runs on the court, I'm not going to be screaming get out of here, kids. But I hope that Kentucky never does that.

00:22:18
Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear you guys say that I'm the old man I thought. I'm against it. I don't think you ever strong the court of Rouprinta, no matter what the situation, you're expecting to win every game.

00:22:25
Speaker 5: I wanted them to get a technical. I wanted chaos.

00:22:28
Speaker 4: I'm against it. If you ask me in the abstract, am I against it? I'm against it? But I also would say in that moment man like like like Mario's for it, Mario's completely for it. I can understand Ryan in that moment, how you'd get so swept up in it you beat Duke at the buzzer.

00:22:52
Speaker 1: Well, let's just say, for example, Colin Chandler's shot was at the buzzer to cap off the comeback against Tennessee.

00:22:58
Speaker 4: Definitely not against Tennessee, okay, because because we're better than Tennessee. But if you were playing a team, Kentucky Duke are the two greatest programs in history, along with North Carolina. I can see how it could happen. I don't think it should, but I could see how it does in that scenario. And I don't think a guy got punched. I got to see a video because I have a hard time believing that. I think Shyer made that up. We'll take a break, be right back. KSR.

00:23:28
Speaker 5: TJ.

00:23:29
Speaker 2: Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ.

00:23:31
Speaker 5: He'll make them pay.

00:23:32
Speaker 2: Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.

00:23:38
Speaker 3: He didn't play the one song of his I know, though, Shan.

00:23:41
Speaker 2: Which one's up?

00:23:42
Speaker 3: That?

00:23:42
Speaker 7: Uh?

00:23:42
Speaker 3: Cambrera Halla? Like that one?

00:23:48
Speaker 1: How's it go again?

00:23:49
Speaker 4: Now?

00:23:50
Speaker 3: Cabrera Halla? That one? Yeah? You used to play that one? Next?

00:23:57
Speaker 2: Okay, well, how would I find that one?

00:23:59
Speaker 6: It's called Brera Okay, Cabrera c a m brera kala palaa that one that's how you.

00:24:10
Speaker 2: Do It doesn't look like that one's in the system.

00:24:12
Speaker 4: Cambrera's got to be in there. He used it for he uses it for his WWE entrance.

00:24:16
Speaker 2: It's not here I can find. I can find it on YouTube.

00:24:18
Speaker 4: You can find it if I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven text machine seven seven two four five two five four one person rights Matt. I wasn't mad about the Super Bowl show, but I didn't watch it because I don't like bad bunny stance on some political issues.

00:24:33
Speaker 3: All right, But like, if that's.

00:24:37
Speaker 4: If that was my standard, Shannon, I wouldn't get to listen to any of the country music I.

00:24:41
Speaker 2: Like, Well, you would have to find out everybody that you listen to. Okay, Now, where do you stand on this?

00:24:45
Speaker 4: I mean, my guess is Travis Trent and Toby Keith and George straight don't agree with me. But I when I hear I smell t r O U B l E, I'm.

00:24:57
Speaker 2: In yeah, right, I don't care.

00:25:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, Toby Key's one of my favorite artists. And I know he didn't agree with me, but I love it. I love all his songs.

00:25:08
Speaker 2: So you can apply that to everything and want to apply that.

00:25:11
Speaker 4: If you apply that to everything in life, if you apply that to everything in life, you're not listening now a lot of your right. I don't understand that mindset, at least to me. What person writes Matt twenty thousand monks is what usually deemed Dome sounds like I think it's cool they actually did something fun.

00:25:28
Speaker 1: True, we've been there. It's not a very exciting arena for a basketball game, but I just think it's one of the few that you just don't do that. You just don't rush to court on a home win.

00:25:36
Speaker 3: All right, we need to talk about one thing before we go to the phone to Drew. What's up.

00:25:40
Speaker 4: We've got to talk about Billy and how how close he posed in the pictures with.

00:25:44
Speaker 3: The football players.

00:25:45
Speaker 5: Oh yes, yes, yes.

00:25:48
Speaker 4: If you made fun of him. Right, So, after every time we would interview somebody or most of them, we'd take a picture. And I posted one of the pictures today on the as a thing for the show. I think that's Denzel Ward from the Cleveland Browns. Then I posted we posted a picture earlier of Christian Watson with the Green Bay Packers.

00:26:11
Speaker 3: You know, Drew and.

00:26:11
Speaker 4: I like, there's two different ways to do pictures. Everybody puts their arms around each other, right, that's one way. But see, we don't know these football players, so I can't. I didn't feel like I could just bro hug Denzel Ward, Billy, Billy our sports did go look at those pictures and look at the distance between me and Drew, Drew and Billy, and then look how close Billy is to the picture. Billy is like, Christian Watson and Billy look like they're dating.

00:26:44
Speaker 5: That's the one. That's the best one. Yeah, they're holding each other and me and you're in like a different part of the stage. We're not even near them.

00:26:51
Speaker 3: He Billy takes Christian Watson over away from.

00:26:55
Speaker 5: Us, wants to be close to Yeah.

00:27:01
Speaker 4: I like Billy's desire to get as close to these players as possible. I will say they're gonna put a bonus episode to cover zero out this week with our interviews with the secondary players, and I was kind of surprised Drew how easy that worked.

00:27:16
Speaker 3: We thought we'd have nothing to say to him, and it actually kind of worked out.

00:27:20
Speaker 5: Yeah, I won't say we were dreading those were excited for everybody, but we knew them the least and objectively, they weren't the biggest names compared to what we had on day one, but they ended up being hilarious and I know we have a lot of Bengals fans. The Orlando Brown Junior Interview Go listen that he talks about Joe Burrow gifting the fossils and what Burrow's like behind the scenes, and they get even though he was talking about the Bengals, he gets way outside of football and very funny. I highly recommend everyone catch that one that's gonna.

00:27:48
Speaker 4: Come out later in the week. And if you're a Bengals fan, our interview with Orlando Brown, you're gonna love because he's all about we talk about the city of Cincinnati and all that. Drisbeing nice and saying we weren't as excited Ryan. I didn't know who any of these people were until they sat down, except Denzel Ward. I had a card with some facts about him, and then I just had to We just had to figure out what we were gonna say, and I ended up liking all of them media row. I would say, you know, I'm kind of a political dork. So I enjoyed the conventions, the Republican Democrat convention, I really enjoyed that.

00:28:29
Speaker 3: But this might have been the coolest thing we've gotten to do. I loved it.

00:28:34
Speaker 4: It was so awesome to walk around and just see all of these people and all of these shows and like every single thing since I was like these people I've been listening to were watching since I was a child, and they're right there and they're doing the show right next to you and Friday. I know we were a little giddy, but we're next to the NFL network set right and there's just Hall of Famer after Hall of Famer coming within feet of us.

00:29:06
Speaker 3: And it was I mean, I don't.

00:29:08
Speaker 4: Get starstruck, but I got a little starstruck, I think just because of the amount and the way it happened.

00:29:14
Speaker 3: And there was a moment where I just sit there and go, I can't believe we're here.

00:29:19
Speaker 4: In the same way, yeah, I can't believe we're here, this hobby that we started twenty years ago, we are sitting here working for the NFL.

00:29:29
Speaker 3: Are you kidding me? That's crazy? And I had a lot of that this weekend. It was awesome.

00:29:34
Speaker 1: Well, you look Upnor's, Bo Jackson and Barry Sanders, even Kelvin Jimstone that one day you were hanging out with him. I mean it wou you would get starstruck. And I saw say this for you guys, for every Denzel Ward interview you did, you killed it with guys like Stevie Johnson, there was you know, there's some really great stuff you guys put out and very good.

00:29:53
Speaker 4: Actually, I'm telling you, when you listen to it, you'd be surprised. And I also thought it was neat chatting to hear all all these people in the industry like who knew us?

00:30:04
Speaker 3: Like who knew our.

00:30:05
Speaker 4: Success or listen to me and Myron on Sunday mornings, or listen to me and Drew and Billy.

00:30:10
Speaker 3: I just it was awesome.

00:30:12
Speaker 4: That was It'll never you know, it's never like your first time the next time, so I probably it'll next time.

00:30:18
Speaker 3: We'll know what to expect.

00:30:19
Speaker 2: You'll be au jaded like Billy.

00:30:20
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna be jade now, Billy. Billy was in dude. Billy was like it was his dream. Billy was in heaven.

00:30:29
Speaker 2: I am seeing this picture with Christian Watson for the first time. Right now, Christian Watson and Billy look to be conjoined twins. Like Billy's right arm is. I don't know where it's at.

00:30:39
Speaker 3: They look they look like they're going to prom Why did Billy get so close to Christian Watson?

00:30:47
Speaker 2: I don't know.

00:30:49
Speaker 5: And Christian Watson is the one that had just roasted Billy the most ya.

00:30:54
Speaker 3: For his quarter quarters.

00:30:55
Speaker 2: You thought the connection to him?

00:30:57
Speaker 4: Yes, Now quickly Drew before we go. I don't know if you know this. Channon Drew is basically like a part of Puerto Rico.

00:31:06
Speaker 5: Now, oh, I'm big in Latin America.

00:31:09
Speaker 3: I'll give them a real quick setup and then he can tell you specifics.

00:31:13
Speaker 4: We each had to go somewhere, and Drew gets left there for a minute because he wants to meet who did you want to meet?

00:31:19
Speaker 5: You wanted to meet a cou my young son, Ronald Acuna from The Brave Will You would have waited with me. They said, he's They said he's fifteen minutes away. I'm like, I got fifteen minutes.

00:31:29
Speaker 3: He stays by himself.

00:31:30
Speaker 4: Long story short, Ronald Acuna shows up along with this Puerto Rican boxer and whoever the NFL was gonna have interviewing.

00:31:37
Speaker 3: Doesn't show up.

00:31:39
Speaker 4: So the NFL is scrambling and they just look at Drew and go, well, you interviewing.

00:31:43
Speaker 3: We need somebody to interview them, and then I'll let Drew take it from there.

00:31:47
Speaker 5: They were freaking out. I guess there was some big partnership that has just been announced. They're bringing in. Uh it's this they're called, uh it's an agency remiss. I believes the agency name, and they have all these stars. This boxer is like the next big thing, and they're also excited. But then they realize there's no one here to actually talk to these people. So they asked me, and I'm like, uh, sure, who is that boxer that doesn't speak English? I don't know him, I don't know his name, I don't know if he's won anything. And there's no time. There's like he's sitting there looking at me, waiting to start the interview, and I'm like, whatever, what's his name?

00:32:18
Speaker 3: Xander? What? Sure?

00:32:20
Speaker 5: I'll sit down and do it. He actually he was great. I was not prepared at all, but it went well. And then as soon as he gets up, there's my man, Ronald waiting and Ronald sits down and I have no time to process. I'm like, I am interviewing my favorite baseball player right now. He had a translator sit down and I asked the translator, I'm like, do I ask you the questions? To ask him the questions? And then Ronald shrugs off the translator. He's like, just us. And I was like, oh my god, this is this is too much, but ended up being great. It went well and when I got done, everyone was thinking me like I'd saved the whole company.

00:32:55
Speaker 3: He saved the NFL. Wow. I mean, there's more to this than this, shaitan.

00:32:58
Speaker 4: The NFL had announced the partnership the day before with Bad Bunny Okay, the NFL and iHeartRadio, So this was supposed to be their interviews to start the partnership, and whoever was supposed to do it didn't show up.

00:33:11
Speaker 3: Wow. Essentially save the company that.

00:33:16
Speaker 5: A boy and all the guys that brought the stars. It's Bad Bunnies Agency. And I was hanging out with them waiting and then they loved me because I did the interviews. I think I could have been a shrub last night in the halftime show if I wanted to. I saw him again. Remember we were leaving the hotel and.

00:33:30
Speaker 3: I saw the out with them blonde.

00:33:32
Speaker 4: All these Puerto Rican dudes just start hugging Drew like they're like, I'm surprised he was not in the halftime show. The boxer he interviewed shaven. You know on the halftime show there were two guys boxing. Yeah, one of them's the guy Drew interview and he.

00:33:46
Speaker 5: Really They were like, when I got done, the people at the NFL were like, you have no idea. You just interviewed. But he's the next great. He's already shattering like Mayweather records. He's the youngest to win this and that. So they're like, you're gonna one day you'll appreciate this more than you do and you'll have this And I'm like, cool. Ron mccoony was here, I'm freaking out.

00:34:03
Speaker 4: One more thing, Billy almost got in a fight with Jamel Hill.

00:34:11
Speaker 2: That wouldn't have gone well for Billy.

00:34:13
Speaker 4: Billy got her off in line, like she's in line. Billy just cuts in front of her. Mister privilege himself. Billy just cuts right in front of her and she what did she say to him?

00:34:25
Speaker 5: I was standing next to Billy. I did not cut the line. I went up to check on Billy as when we were leaving the hotel and I heard a woman go, excuse me, sir, there is a line and point to the back. And I turned and I was like, oh boy, that's Jamel Hill. All right, Billy, you're on your own Bud.

00:34:39
Speaker 4: Billy turned yellow like. Billy was like, where's Christian Watson when I need him?

00:34:43
Speaker 2: Bright Count Billy turned into a Simpson.

00:34:46
Speaker 3: See he did turn into a Simpson. He was like, where is my boy Christian to save me?

00:35:57
Speaker 3: Shan and I still have the exact.

00:35:58
Speaker 2: I'm gonna flip it over to the Turning Point halftime show.

00:36:02
Speaker 3: If I performed this. Yeah, uh what person rights? I love that Drew save the NFL.

00:36:10
Speaker 4: I didn't know when I was watching the Super Bowl that if it wasn't for Drew, it would not have happened.

00:36:15
Speaker 5: Correct, exactly. Certainly not a halftime show or any international flair. With my new friends from Latin America.

00:36:22
Speaker 4: I mean, they loved it. One person rights, Matt. We didn't hear much about you all going to the parties.

00:36:28
Speaker 3: What was it like? Parties were awesome? Most of the time, Ryne.

00:36:33
Speaker 4: I had to Drew and I had to play parents to keep Billy and Mario from acting a fool. I did feel like I was there, Drew, and I did feel like we were like their uncles trying to keep them from acting seiy.

00:36:46
Speaker 1: You can see what ludacrous.

00:36:47
Speaker 4: They literally fell asleep in the car on the way back, with their heads next to each other like two children.

00:36:56
Speaker 3: Picture. I have a picture. I'm not tweeting it out because I don't want embarras.

00:37:00
Speaker 2: So send it to me and I'll tweet it out.

00:37:02
Speaker 3: You're not tweeting it out.

00:37:03
Speaker 4: There's a picture of the two of them asleep in the backseat of the Uber, with their heads leaning up against him like twinsies.

00:37:10
Speaker 5: I had a lecture them Saturday night.

00:37:12
Speaker 3: You know.

00:37:13
Speaker 5: Matt had to leave a little early because he had to get up early for ESPN. The rest of us got to sleep in and I pulled both of them aside. I said, I will stay here with you. I will pay for the Uber. I don't care what the uber costs, but you all cannot be stumbling out of here looking for this uber. You have to be collective. I'm not babysitting. It's like I will get us home if you are cohering, I will leave you here.

00:37:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, them both aside.

00:37:36
Speaker 3: I was like, have fun.

00:37:37
Speaker 5: I'm not being dad here, but I'm not carrying you all out of here, so keep it together.

00:37:42
Speaker 4: This used to be the conversation I had with Drew when we were around the country. I'm not carrying you home. You do it, And now Drew Shannon is having to do it back to then.

00:37:51
Speaker 2: Drew the dad, Like I said, he's practicing. He's about to be a dad in real life.

00:37:54
Speaker 3: This is a good practice for the best thing Ryan is.

00:37:56
Speaker 4: As the night goes on, Billy's hair gets bigger. Okay, Billy's hair. Billy's hair goes higher and higher and higher, and that's how you know things are are going. Also, Mario gets bolder. He tries to sneak into all the VIP sections he sees Travis Kelcey. He tries to jump the fence and get in like he Mario is gonna get us in trouble because Mario's just And then he'll act like he'll go, hey, watch this, I'm gonna go over where Justin Bieber is. And then he'll walk and he'll get stopped and he's like, oh, I can't be here.

00:38:27
Speaker 3: I didn't realize that, Matt.

00:38:30
Speaker 5: We gotta tell my favorite Mario and Billy story from Friday Night. How four of us walk into the dark building. Two of us are wearing sunglasses. All right, so you have two people in sunglasses, two people not in sunglasses. Which two do you think got lost in the dark building?

00:38:47
Speaker 2: The two in sunglasses?

00:38:48
Speaker 3: Can't imagine that?

00:38:50
Speaker 4: Well, walking into a dark building, you don't need sunglasses, Shannon, you don't need sunglasses. Billy and Mario both wearing sunglasses. We're supposed to walk the red carpet. I don't know why, but we are. They walk off and they're lost, completely lost, And I asked why and they go, well, we had our sunglasses on. Maybe you take them off. We're in the dark building. But that was part of their vibe, Brian. They wanted to have their sunglasses on.

00:39:18
Speaker 5: Mario was so excited and missed it. Probably the thing he was looking forward to the most.

00:39:22
Speaker 4: They turn into children when we go with these, They really do. Billy is thirty one years old, and he became He just goes down to Mario's age the moment we walk in.

00:39:33
Speaker 5: They weren't the blind leading the blind, trying to walk in with those sunglasses on my but I did have fun.

00:39:38
Speaker 3: Who's up next?

00:39:38
Speaker 2: Jay and London?

00:39:39
Speaker 7: Jay and Lindon? Go ahead, Hey, Matt. Two quick things. First, we're year and a half in to coach Pope. We've had this great turnaround, We've had these crazy amount of injuries, we've questioned the roster management, and then we're worried about the lack of players next year. How do we fairly assess what he's done so far?

00:39:55
Speaker 3: I don't know.

00:39:57
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be really interesting at the end of the year. Year two kind of grade the year for Pope. I think a lot of it's gonna be what happens in the tournament, and you know, we got seven tough games coming. It's it's I think I gave him like a D for the first half of the year. If I were to grade him through today for the SEC, I think i'd probably give him like a B plus for the SEC. So we'll see how it all plays out. Jay, But I'm with you, it's gonna be really hard to grade this year because clearly they didn't necessarily do a great job with the roster.

00:40:30
Speaker 3: But he has made the best of it. These last few weeks.

00:40:34
Speaker 7: Hey, everything Bryan was supposed to lay off the crank, did you're the post when he talked to the couple that are just married?

00:40:44
Speaker 3: I did not.

00:40:45
Speaker 4: I did, however, hear Jay, someone wrote me and I saw this when I got up Sunday morning, and they said, for your sanity, don't listen to the end of the post.

00:40:57
Speaker 3: So I'm not gonna do it. I appreciate the call.

00:40:59
Speaker 4: I don't even want to know what you did, Ryan, but I woke up to multiple messages of don't listen to Ryan's end of postgame show on Saturday night, so I don't even I don't know what happened, Ryan, but I'm got gonna listen to it so that I stayed joyous.

00:41:15
Speaker 1: I won't relive it, but I'll just tell you there was Stony just got married Saturday before the game, and after they got married, they went home to watch the game together. That was That was really all other were just celebrated.

00:41:25
Speaker 4: I know where that goes after that, Shannon, I think I know the kind of thing would said, DraftKings, you bet five you can win up to three hundred dollars in bonus bets.
