Speaker 4: If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven Clarks Puppet Shop, A Vision Auto Glass. Thank you all back there for coming seven seven two seven seven four five two five four. Before you all get out, you gotta get the the A Vision Glass cleaners back there. We aren't country boy. Let me tell you what they have.

00:01:37
Speaker 4: And then in Lexington on Winchester Road is their new pickleball facility.

00:01:41
Speaker 3: You all played in it. Uh, they have a lot of people out there going makes that noise and nah. But if it's I hear very popular and people love playing the pickleball.

00:01:53
Speaker 5: It was a lot of fun. Drew played for the first time just last week.

00:01:56
Speaker 6: Oh, I had a great time. I will pickleball again, if I could go back and redo our night. Though we just ran the gauntlet with appreciow listeners. I think we played seven consecutive matches.

00:02:06
Speaker 5: We did. We have a little exhausted by the end of it. But I would highly encourage everybody to go there. You don't have to have a membership to be there either.

00:02:11
Speaker 4: They don't have to have a membership. That's right, stretch, just trust me. For those of you here. For those of you here, fourteen dollars lunch special, double cheeseburger, fries and a beer. Fourteen dollars. That's pretty good. Well done by Udh and all the guys here. Let's go over a couple things before we get back to the phones. Let's start with the college football decided yesterday, Ryan, the transfer portal for football will be now like basketball, it'll be one period of time in January. You may remember before you had one right after the season, and then you had one right after spring practice. They've basically gotten rid of the one after spring practice, so you can transfer only in January. So I think that's good. That will make the rosters a little less crazy. Here's the only problem though, Sorrey a problem for us, but for the teams that are playing in the playoff, they're gonna have to do their transfer portal while they're in the playoff. And for the players in the playoff, you're probably gonna have some distractions as guys will be in the playoff trying to decide if they're gonna go somewhere else while they're in the playoff. I can't imagine coaches like that. At the same time, a school calendar is when it is so like, you can't wait till February because school have already started in the other place. So but now there will be a three week period in January where everyone goes wherever they go, and that will be a wild time.

00:03:32
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know it came up during the playoffs last year where you heard the commentators talk about they felt like this guy was going into the transfer portal, but yet he was still playing on the team that was still alive in the playoffs. So I don't want an answer around that. I mean, you gotta do it after the sea you know, before the semester start.

00:03:46
Speaker 4: Well, there's no good time because you can't wait till after the playoffs.

00:03:50
Speaker 3: School's already started everywhere, and if you wait till April.

00:03:52
Speaker 4: You're gonna make people be in a school that they're leaving, So Drew, I don't really know what else you can do, to be honest.

00:03:58
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's teams with several advantages in college football right now. If the teams in the playoff have a little bit of a disadvantage moving forward, will be okay, they're having a good year. It's it's like when you're in the you know, pros, you get the last draft pick because you made it farther. It's just you're in the playoffs. Sorry, you got a little bit more to do.

00:04:15
Speaker 5: Maybe that will encourage players who are actually on a playoff team to stay there. I would think that would have a lot to do with your Maybe maybe a team that contends for the championship, maybe you'd be more likely to stay.

00:04:25
Speaker 4: I think the bigger thing for people to watch this is something we won't know the effect of this until about one year from now, but I'm getting the sense that like a system that this past year was insanely pro player, they made a lot of like the guys playing right now this year got the best deal in the history of sports. If you are a basketball or football player, this year you got double the money. For the reasons we've talked about. You had a system that really had no limits on transfers, and it was wild, I'll grant you, by the way, probably hurt us a little bit in football, probably helped us a little bit in basketball, because we probably.

00:05:04
Speaker 3: Spent more than anybody else.

00:05:06
Speaker 4: I think the thing to watch is the momentum is shifting to I think the system that's gonna end up in place is gonna be not as much pro school as it was before, but pretty pro school. A couple things is gonna be this portal just being a couple of weeks. Another thing is what we talked about yesterday, how many of these nil deals are getting struck down. These deals are getting struck down, which is saying like they're doing strict scrutiny.

00:05:34
Speaker 3: And then this is the one. I think it's the biggest.

00:05:37
Speaker 4: I didn't realize right now the buildings before Congress, which between which I don't think will pass, but it could, you never know. But the buildings before Congress right now, it would give the NCAA an anti.

00:05:51
Speaker 3: Trust exam exception. Now why would that matter.

00:05:55
Speaker 4: It would mean that whatever the NCAA rules put forward they could even be challenged in court. Now, that's pretty crazy. The only sport that has that is baseball. If you give the NCAA to where an NCAA rule is not even challengeable in court, then all of a sudden, you have a system where the NCAA becomes like judge, jury and execution. And we've seen over the years the NCAA makes decisions that are very frustrating. And the bill that right now that has been written by I think Tommy Tupperville, gives the NCAA an anti trust exemption. If that passes, it will be a massive loss for the players. Now, I don't think it's gonna pass, but it is something to watch. It's the only bill currently before Congress, and Trump has endorsed that bill, so we'll see what happens. But that so, I would say the players now should think they're lucky stars.

00:06:50
Speaker 3: They were here the right year.

00:06:52
Speaker 7: Yeah, you said it was so pro player for all this time. There had to be some checks and balances put in place somewhere, right.

00:06:59
Speaker 4: Yeah, But you know, it doesn't mean you swing the exact opposite way to where where you don't eat. You can't even challenge anything in court. Like, that's crazy. To me, that's crazy.

00:07:07
Speaker 3: There needs to be there's got to be in the middle somewhere.

00:07:09
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, but fluctually wait, fluctuating all the way back the other way, to me, doesn't make sense. UK Nebraska ESPN announced the UK Nebraska volleyball game last week was the most watched volleyball game in the history of the sport. There's never been a college volleyball game in the regular season more watched one.

00:07:30
Speaker 3: Point two million people.

00:07:31
Speaker 4: Just to give you an example, the amount of people that watched that was more than every college football game except seven in Week one. Only seven games had more people watch them than the UK Nebraska volleyball game. It was a game we lost, but Ryan, it was a game that we led for two sets and we're right there in it with the best team in the country.

00:07:50
Speaker 3: So really good stuff for UK volleyball.

00:07:52
Speaker 7: Great exposure for UK volleyball, going toe to toe with the King of the King, the best of the best in the volleyball college volleyball Nebraska, Kentucky held their own, had a chance to win the game, so I think it was huge positive for Craig Skinner.

00:08:03
Speaker 8: They got a big one tonight.

00:08:04
Speaker 3: Thought they and they played. So for people who are wondering what to do tonight, if you don't want to read.

00:08:07
Speaker 4: Those two articles I gave you, UK plays Nebraska was number one. Number two is Penn State. UK plays them tonight on Fox. Uh, this is on regular Fox. So that record that was just set might get broken tonight, drew as UK Penn State play. I mean, if you're a Craig Skinner, at the end of tonight, you will have played in the two most watched volleyball games and the history of the sport. That's pretty good.

00:08:35
Speaker 6: Yeah. I was one of the one point two million on Sunday. Loved every second of it except the outcome. They were even talking about when Kentucky was up two oh. If Kentucky were to win, Penn State would become number one, and then Kentucky would be playing number one.

00:08:50
Speaker 3: Week.

00:08:50
Speaker 6: It's interesting, neck if you could have you know, swept that. You know that's a dream, But just the fact that you're playing top two teams within a week of each other to start the season, both nashally televised. I know we don't back a lot of volleyball recruiting, but I can only imagine that's huge for the program even farther than what they've already done.

00:09:04
Speaker 3: And on network TV shit. I mean that.

00:09:07
Speaker 4: You know, now we have streaming a lot of things, but still games on networks get the highest rating.

00:09:12
Speaker 3: That's pretty good.

00:09:12
Speaker 5: Coach Skinner has done a great job in his scheduling with that take all, take on all comers mentality, and it's it's played well into their success.

00:09:20
Speaker 4: Finally, Paul fine Bomb Ryan clearly tried to get Kentucky fans worked up.

00:09:26
Speaker 3: I don't know if you saw this.

00:09:27
Speaker 4: So sec Nation was trying to decide this week whether they went to Old miss Kentucky or they went to Kansas Missouri. A lot of people don't realize Kansas Missouri that is a rival where he goes back a long time.

00:09:39
Speaker 3: They call it, I think the Border War or something like that.

00:09:41
Speaker 4: And then they went in different conferences, so they haven't always played. Fine Baum did a video where he looked in the camera and said, everybody wanted to go to Old miss Kentucky, but I told him Kansas Missouri is better. They're only going to Missouri cause of me. He's clearly trying to over the Missouri people, but he also was trying to like kind of talk trash to Kentucky old miss do you care?

00:10:07
Speaker 7: I care a little bit because he was kind of on thin ice with me anyway, the way they treated you on that show. So now I'm like more or so to push him away to Paul final who listened to Paul Fine bam boo. I listened to Shannon the dude on the radio that time frame. Okay, Shannon's on the same time.

00:10:27
Speaker 3: Just not be the case, what about you.

00:10:31
Speaker 6: I'm supposed Paul went with the villain role that he did, but I just I've been considering it as fact that SEC Nation would be here. I know the Border Wars a long rivalry, but it's the only SEC versus SEC game of the weekend. It's the first SEC versus SEC game of the season. I would have definitely picked this far the SEC network Kansas, Missouri.

00:10:51
Speaker 5: I'm glad I don't. I wouldn't want him here anyway. Hey bring college game Day, that's the rule.

00:10:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have to say, to be honest with you, I think SEC Nation I like a lot of the p bond it. I think they're nice people. But as an entity, who cares? I mean, I'm just saying who cares? Have any of you gone to watch SEC Nation, and seriously, anybody you've gone, is it fine? You are hard core fans, you want to grove street Back and you went to SEC Nation. I just to me, like, when SEC Nation comes here, they just sit in the parking lot. They might have a couple of hundred people like I don't. I don't say this to be rude. We get more people our bar than they get at SEC Nation.

00:11:32
Speaker 3: I don't.

00:11:33
Speaker 4: It's it's what's true. I mean, game day is a different thing now. Game days an experience when game day comes, like the world is at your place. I don't SCC Nation doesn't move the needle for me at all.

00:11:44
Speaker 5: You know, the environment at Kaos Bar and Grill on a game day would be better than Yeah.

00:11:48
Speaker 4: I just don't think it's It's just it's fine, But it doesn't matter to me.

00:11:53
Speaker 6: The only thing that's good about it is when they're in your town. I agree, if you go, there's not much c They at least try to feature your team more than they would they do. That's show that is, they'll have a guest. I don't watch it, but that's at least the argument of why Kentucky would be good to have on it.

00:12:06
Speaker 3: Who's up next?

00:12:07
Speaker 8: Daniel's nat?

00:12:08
Speaker 3: Daniel go ahead? Daniel, Hi, go ahead, Daniel All ain't no, Daniel. What's up next? Uh? Next week?

00:12:22
Speaker 7: Got Dennis?

00:12:23
Speaker 3: Take your time? Rick, Dennis, go ahead.

00:12:27
Speaker 9: Hey, Matt, I'm a I'm a stoopid supporter, but as of right now, after thirteen games, I had zero confidence in our offensive coordinator. And I agree with what a lot I've heard you say. It's like he runs the football or he'll pass the football. When when when? In my opinion, he already running the football and then he's running the football when you think he needs to pass football. I just I just don't get this offensive coordinator.

00:12:57
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have to say for me, and I appreciate the all tomorrow for me is not a reflection on a personal level of Mark Stoops. It's a reflection in some ways though a bush Hampden. I mean, we're about to go play against the best offensive may one of the best offensive mines in college football.

00:13:13
Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin is as.

00:13:14
Speaker 4: Good an offensive play callers there is in college football.

00:13:18
Speaker 3: I bush Hampden. I don't understand.

00:13:21
Speaker 4: I wrote some of it off last year because I was like, well, the Vandergriff. Thing's not working. The offensive line is not good. But then I don't know what they were doing Saturday. A lot of those games for me, I want to see, Okay, Lane's the best, how does he stack up against him one on one? They worked last year, But let's see what happens with this.

00:13:40
Speaker 7: And you know Stoops has made it pretty clear they're going back to the ground and pounded running game. Does that handcuff Hamden a little more?

00:13:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they didn't, That's what I'm saying.

00:13:48
Speaker 4: Like he said that, and then we got to midfield twice with a chance to get a field goal to make it a two possession game, and they threw it six straight times for incomplete passes. So I don't They can say that, but they don't even always execute that.

00:14:02
Speaker 6: Now, I give him a little bit of a pass on last year because he took the job in like February, he had nothing to do with the roster. Pretty unique circumstances. Then you get to the season they could not score from the two yard line. We were like, oh, for whatever at the goal line. But I'll give you a little bit train him was supposed to be that back he was hurt but this year, no excuses and I think he's oh for one on passing the test. Through week one, there's just a lot of the fans on your post game show, felt like every call where people just asking what the hell is even doing up there?

00:14:30
Speaker 4: You know, I take Brad White as a given. If he's got the roster, we're gonna be pretty good. I sometimes wish he would blitz a little more, but you know what, that's a picky that's a nitpicky thing.

00:14:40
Speaker 3: But off Hitch Shannon, I think has a lot to be Yeah, question, and.

00:14:42
Speaker 5: You gotta get I mean, I know it was only one game, but you gotta get something more out of Calizado or it's gonna be a long game on Saturday.

00:14:48
Speaker 7: So do you buying it all? They only ran eighteen different plays? Do you buy any and all that they are?

00:14:52
Speaker 4: Well, I mean I buy it happened As to whether as to what it means, Let's see how many plays they run this Saturday. Right, If we run only the same eighteen plays, then I'm like, uh oh, if it's because.

00:15:02
Speaker 3: They held out like you said they might have, then that might be different.

00:15:06
Speaker 7: That's That's what I'm hopeful for that they kept some plays in their back pocket.

00:15:10
Speaker 3: I'll tell you this.

00:15:11
Speaker 4: If we only ran eighteen plays and then we run the same eighteen plays this game, we're gonna get destroyed. Because what Lane Kiffin will will have every play like that's he's say whatever you.

00:15:23
Speaker 3: Want about him as a personality, et cetera.

00:15:25
Speaker 4: He is smart, and smart people will be ready for for for big games. Kentucky Chambers working on important issues Kentuckians are facing.

I know people are making me miss my computer. All right, let's do our other game picks quickly. Iowa Iowa State Battle of Corn Iowa State is a two and a half point favorite.

00:16:14
Speaker 3: All I needs who's gonna win in the Battle of Corn? Who you got?

00:16:17
Speaker 5: Iowa State on the road, steals.

00:16:18
Speaker 3: Iowa States at home. You're still good, so you're definitely gonna take them.

00:16:21
Speaker 5: Yes, no, no, no, Iowa, Iowa on the road, Iowa on the road.

00:16:25
Speaker 3: They're taking the hawk eyes.

00:16:26
Speaker 6: All right, what do you got go with the home team in the cyclones, Iowa State.

00:16:30
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take Iowa State at home. Baylor SMU.

00:16:33
Speaker 4: SMU is not beaten Baylor since nineteen eighty six. They've lost to them seventeen straight times in this rivalry. However, this game is at SMU, and for the first times in twenty five years, SMU is favored. Can they break the forty year slump and beat Baylor in Fort Worth?

00:16:54
Speaker 5: Not gonna happen. BYU rolls.

00:16:56
Speaker 4: BYU's not in the game. It is SMU and Baylor. It would be very difficult for Baylor to win. For b YU to win the Baylor at Baylor.

00:17:06
Speaker 3: All right, I was looking at Pat right there.

00:17:10
Speaker 7: Listen, he's got Ryan itis today.

00:17:13
Speaker 3: Mormons are very influential and they are able to do, but they cannot play win a game they're not playing by all right, Baylor, Okay, what do you got?

00:17:21
Speaker 6: Baylor has a little extra time to prepare for this one. However, no one wins eighteen in a row in the series. You're going with USC.

00:17:32
Speaker 3: They're taking Alright, what do you got?

00:17:34
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go Baylor. Why because they got They're mad they got beat last week.

00:17:38
Speaker 8: Go Baylor.

00:17:39
Speaker 3: All right, I'm gonna now.

00:17:40
Speaker 4: Remember this is one of those things where normally I would say, you're discounting the team that had a poor performance.

00:17:47
Speaker 3: However, s m U has not won in forty years.

00:17:52
Speaker 4: They're gonna They're winning this one. This is the time they finally get it. The big game at night, Oklahoma and Michigan. Michigan coming to Oklahoma. Oklahoma is a five and a half point favorite game day is there? They have a Heisman candidate there for Oklahoma.

00:18:07
Speaker 5: Who you got Michigan wins because well, because Oklahoma's got a gambling quarterback.

00:18:14
Speaker 3: That is true. He did, he did.

00:18:17
Speaker 5: He did game or at least they allegedly game points for his own team.

00:18:21
Speaker 3: All right, who you got?

00:18:22
Speaker 6: Not you missed it? I wish I knew what side he was on. That would help. I'll go Michigan with the upset Oklahoma's. Uh, this is when we really set their coaches seat on fire.

00:18:32
Speaker 7: I think Oklahoma SEC kind of announced himself they're for real. I go Oklahoma.

00:18:36
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a great environment. I mean, Oklahoma's been like looking forward to this game for ten years. I'm gonna say Oklahoma wins. They had a little bit of a disappointing year last year. They bounced back. Arizona State, who last year was in the playoff, is going across the country to Startville, Mississippi to play Mississippi State. During practice, I don't know if you've seen this all week, they have had graduate assistants running walking around and they did the cow bells for four straight days. The entire practice. They just clang those stupid bells in their player's ear to get them ready. Arizona State. Arizona stated a six and a half point favorite Shannon in Startville, Who's got the.

00:19:16
Speaker 5: Most obnoxious sound in college football. But I'm still gonna go. Mississippi State wins.

00:19:20
Speaker 3: The game pulls off the upset, all right.

00:19:22
Speaker 6: You got a playoff team versus a team that lost to Toledo at home last year. Arizona State goes in there and beats them.

00:19:28
Speaker 7: I Haasley stayed with the SEC, but not in this one. I'm going to Arizona State.

00:19:31
Speaker 4: Missippi State was bad last year and they almost lost it in Week one. They struggle a little bit against Southern miss I'm gonna take Arizona State to win on the road, and then your Vanderbilt Commodores go to Blacksburg, Virginia to play at Virginia Tech in the Battle of the V's who you got.

00:19:50
Speaker 5: Andy beat them last year, They're gonna beat them this year again on the road. Give me bandy.

00:19:53
Speaker 6: Are the Pavia brothers out of Jailia?

00:19:55
Speaker 3: The Papa brothers think they're out of jail.

00:19:58
Speaker 6: Vandy wins if they're not there, Virginia Tech wins. I'll say Vandy wins that they're there.

00:20:02
Speaker 7: Okay, hard to win in Blacksburg. I'm going Virginia Tech.

00:20:05
Speaker 3: I'm going Virginia Tech too. I think Vandy.

00:20:08
Speaker 4: Vandy is in for a come down this year after your big year last year.

00:20:13
Speaker 3: People believe in him too much.

00:20:15
Speaker 5: I think they looked pretty good last week. I know it was Charleston Southern, but they still wont like they.

00:20:19
Speaker 3: Can have all their Charleston girls they.

00:20:21
Speaker 4: Want in honor of Tyler. They're gonna They're gonna lose in Blacksburg Who's next?

00:20:27
Speaker 8: Parker is next?

00:20:28
Speaker 3: Parker? Go ahead? Hey man, how you doing doing good?

00:20:33
Speaker 7: Hey?

00:20:34
Speaker 10: So, I'm gonna tell you tomorrow, South's defense is gonna win us the game. He's gonna have one of those pigs are perfect games that he has probably once or twice a year. We come out with the W two and oh start.

00:20:44
Speaker 3: Thank you all right.

00:20:45
Speaker 4: I appreciate the call. Let's make the case for the defense tomorrow. I like, yeah, it make the case for the defense tomorrow. They looked really good for eighty five percent of the game against Toledo. Do you think that's repeatable tomorrow?

00:20:59
Speaker 7: Yeah, because, like we talked about earlier this week, I throw that last touchdown out. That last touchdown a teedle got. I'm just gonna throw it out. So they gave up one score the whole game and did a good job of keeping Toledo contained. I think we've proven we got some good edg rushers. I think a defensive line is much better. I'm really still believing in our secondary. So I like our defense. A gets to anybody in the SEC.

00:21:18
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:21:19
Speaker 6: Simmons had to play last year a little bit in some big games when Dark got hurt, but overall, for the Simmons era. He's going on the road in the SEC for the first time. You know, we worry about our own team. But Old Miss still isn't completely sold on him after he threw two picks. So if you can get him rattled, maybe that coal whistle gets him thrown off a little bit. I think he still has to prove himself.

00:21:41
Speaker 5: I think that is the key that, like I said earlier, they've got a young quarterback. If they can get to him early, put some pressure on him. I think that that's the way you win.

00:21:47
Speaker 4: A lot of a swan myself included sometimes about Brad white'z like zone keep them in front of you scheme. But it does seem drew to really annoy Lane Kiffin. He really hates that they can't go deep and he you.

00:22:02
Speaker 3: Could see it in the game last year. He gets impatient.

00:22:04
Speaker 4: I don't think he likes the little five yard dump five yard dump, whereas like a Nick Saban or a Kirby Smart will just take it and grind you down.

00:22:12
Speaker 3: It always feels like.

00:22:12
Speaker 4: To me, Lang Kiffin still wants to force it, and I think it actually is partially why Kentucky has some success against Old.

00:22:19
Speaker 6: Miss yeah, and it can be annoying. You know, you mentioned sometimes one more blitz. Brad White could definitely be more aggressive, but just over the course of what he's done here. I mean the defense is held up most years for that. Ben don't break mentality. You wait for the other team to make the mistake. Give him four or five here and there. It gets annoying when a team goes the link to the field doing it. But a guy like Lang Kiffin.

00:22:38
Speaker 3: He gets impatient. It does annoy him.

00:22:40
Speaker 4: I think over the course of a game, who's next, Kent can't thirty seconds?

00:22:46
Speaker 3: Go ahead? Kent?

00:22:53
Speaker 4: All right, that's okay, Right, It's okay, you can't's got other things to do. If I'm nine two twenty two eighty seven, we are here at Country Boy. You can come to this tap room and watch the Cats play all fall. You can go to their places in Lexington as well. Country Boy beer. What's your favorite? Country Boy? I have people sometimes ask me which one to get.

00:23:13
Speaker 7: Cougar Bak's been my go to for years and years. I love Cougar Bak. Cougar Bak line. Oh, I'm sorry, Shannon, the dude brew is my go to. I've been going to Shandub brew for years.

00:23:24
Speaker 3: You're so easily bought.

00:23:26
Speaker 6: My boy, do you have one? Do you have a different one? You've probably tried. I'm an ipa guy. Right now I'm drinking a Hazy Jumper. It's very good Hazy Jumper. Yeah, I'm twenty two eighty seven.

00:23:36
Speaker 4: We'll take a break. Be right back here a country boy. This is Kentucky Sports Radio.

00:23:40
Speaker 3: Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio.

00:23:42
Speaker 4: An absolutely beautiful day here at Country Boy Brewing in Georgetown, one of our longest sponsors and a great member of the central Kentucky community. Country Boy got twenty four different beers and it is such an awesome day to have all the fans here. One of my favorite days of the year. I was just on Somebody yesterday. I love this show because these are some of our best fans, and they come and they enjoy it, and they're they pay attention, and I always, always, uh always love coming out here.

00:24:11
Speaker 3: When the show is over, Ryan and I.

00:24:14
Speaker 4: Are joining Mario and my friend Tall and we are going Shannon to the Reds batting practice today. Yes, we get to go on the field and I'm gonna tell Matt McClain that he stinks and that he needs to be better, and then we're gonna watch Ellie and all those guys right from the field.

00:24:30
Speaker 3: I have on my red shoes and I'm ready to.

00:24:33
Speaker 5: Rock up and take some hots.

00:24:34
Speaker 4: I don't think they're gonna let us this is I mean, they play the Mets, they're probably done. But you know, if they were to sweep the Mets this weekend, in theory, they'd cut it to two games. If they're gonna have any chance, they got to sweep. So this is a big series for him, and they're letting us on the field.

00:24:49
Speaker 5: Maybe you can bring him some luck. I thought the summer of Belly was over there.

00:24:53
Speaker 8: Chance.

00:24:53
Speaker 3: I mean, if if they were to sweep the Mets this weekend, there would still be a chance that's what they'd have to do. But but I'm still the I'm still very much looking forward to being out there.

00:25:02
Speaker 4: I've never gotten to see that up close. Watch watch the guys take hacks.

00:25:06
Speaker 3: I know, you gotta be excited.

00:25:08
Speaker 7: I think I think Tito will probably look over and see me standing there and ask me to step in the cage and do a little hitting lesson for some of the guys.

00:25:14
Speaker 8: You think so yeah, I think so.

00:25:16
Speaker 3: But you got I feel like this is the kind of thing you're gonna enjoy this.

00:25:19
Speaker 7: I mean, you invite me to come out. I got immediately excited just to be on the field during batting practice. I mean, Shannon has been there when you're a baseball player batting practices where all the camaraderie stuff happens, all the you know, the movement in the shape, and it's.

00:25:29
Speaker 4: For a real game. I mean, this is like not just and it's not even just a regular game. This is a big game for them to be able to like I am.

00:25:37
Speaker 7: I think it's I even brought a REDG jersey to wear, a REDG jersey.

00:25:41
Speaker 8: To put on.

00:25:43
Speaker 3: That's pretty good. That's big.

00:25:44
Speaker 8: Don't tell my dad, Well, I.

00:25:46
Speaker 3: Think you just did. If I'm eighty seven.

00:25:51
Speaker 4: Somebody sent me this last night and they specifically said they wanted Shannon the dude's opinion.

00:25:56
Speaker 3: All right, let's go. Did you see what Michael Irvin said yesterday?

00:26:00
Speaker 5: No?

00:26:00
Speaker 3: No, I did not.

00:26:01
Speaker 4: Michael Irvin said that, you know, when he signed with the Cowboys, he got a million dollars as his signing bonus check.

00:26:10
Speaker 3: That he made a copy of his.

00:26:11
Speaker 4: Million dollar check and he would leave it on the night stand in his house so that when he brought women home, they would casually see the million dollar check and they would know how much he was worth and it would make them more into him. That feels like to me, a Shannon the dude approved move?

00:26:31
Speaker 3: Is that correct?

00:26:32
Speaker 5: You don't think I'll leave a four pack and threw on.

00:26:36
Speaker 3: After me?

00:26:37
Speaker 5: Maybe the world heavyweight radio title.

00:26:39
Speaker 3: On the other side, of course, are we sign But like, are we really saying, Drew that women will like a guy more thinking that they're worth a lot of money.

00:26:50
Speaker 6: I think that's probably the case. You know, I used to do this move when I started working for KSR. I would leave my checkout so my roomates wouldn't ask me for rent money.

00:26:59
Speaker 3: It would work.

00:27:00
Speaker 6: It worked occasionally, so it had a different goldfeah.

00:27:03
Speaker 5: Okay, you think, though, the house should kind of show you what he's worth.

00:27:07
Speaker 4: Well, I think he had just signed, so maybe he didn't have quite the house that he did later in his career, but it was like he wanted to show, hey, there's there's a million dollars in the banker.

00:27:16
Speaker 3: At least there was pre taxes.

00:27:18
Speaker 6: You know, power play who keeps the check on the night's in though, like maybe on a on the fridge behind a magnet, but like you take it up to your bedroom and put it on your night stamens where she's.

00:27:28
Speaker 5: Gonna see it. She's not going to the refrigerator, she's going true.

00:27:34
Speaker 3: Do you like that move?

00:27:36
Speaker 7: I used to lay at least three dollars on my night's dam and I used to bring ladies over.

00:27:39
Speaker 3: That was just though.

00:27:43
Speaker 8: I didn't say that. I didn't say that. It wasn't me. I didn't it wasn't me.

00:27:49
Speaker 3: You know, I knew.

00:27:51
Speaker 8: I didn't say it.

00:27:52
Speaker 3: Knew. Shannon and Drew have already made everybody laugh.

00:27:54
Speaker 4: Let's just move a why ask rind He's only gonna He's only gonna make it worse. And then that's what happened eight five to nine two aight oh twenty two eighty seven, Bill Belichick, I've enjoyed watching this hole, this whole shenanigans. The New England Patriots requested that their scouts be able to come to practice. That's what happens, like it happens all the time, and Belichick said the Patriots were banned from North Carolina practice. Other teams are allowed to come he bans the Patriots.

00:28:25
Speaker 3: Is that petty? And do your support it.

00:28:28
Speaker 6: It's very normal to go to a college practice and you just see NFL logos all over the place. When we had our you know, we don't get to go to miny electionon but when we have our media day, it's very normal to be next to guy with the Bengals, the Titans, you name it. It's very common for them to go scouts. So for him to just cut out one of the thirty two teams, that is very petty.

00:28:46
Speaker 3: But do you like it?

00:28:47
Speaker 7: It's obvious that Jordan told him not to let the Patriots, so she must not like the Patriots and she made that decision.

00:28:51
Speaker 4: For well, I Bett it's partially that they forced him to resign. I mean like that's but that is a level of pettiness, Shannon that I feel like I could see you.

00:29:01
Speaker 3: You know, you lose a gig.

00:29:02
Speaker 5: You just say I could see it, And that would probably be me too if I were chick.

00:29:06
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're both digging. I could see Drew not doing it. You would do this, right.

00:29:12
Speaker 5: I would do it too.

00:29:12
Speaker 7: I absolutely would do it. If they let me go and fired me. I don't want them around my people mind.

00:29:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, so how can you so like it's not Jordan.

00:29:19
Speaker 4: I mean, it might be Bill Belichick that just doesn't want them around.

00:29:23
Speaker 7: I know it's not fair to his players, but they can watch tape. They're like, well, they're gonna pick up in one practice. They can't see during a game.

00:29:29
Speaker 6: I was gonna say, that's one less NFL opportunity for your entirely true.

00:29:33
Speaker 3: That is true.

00:29:34
Speaker 4: That's kind of stinky for the players because they're losing a team. That that is. That's a very good point. That's selfish.

00:29:39
Speaker 3: Who's next? Harold is next? Harold? Go ahead, Harold.

00:29:47
Speaker 5: You we're not doing great on the phones today.

00:29:50
Speaker 3: Are the phones working wreck? Are they a couple? Yes? They are?

00:29:56
Speaker 11: They?

00:29:56
Speaker 4: Well, okay, all right they If I'm not to you ain't no twenty two he said, we want to try somebody else.

00:30:02
Speaker 3: Oh, we got Bob, all right. You know I love Bob. Go ahead, Bob.

00:30:08
Speaker 10: Matt, you were talking about the crypto king down there in Smithland. My life when I went down there to see where the Cumberland River goes in the Ohio, and Smithland is a little town about like Jamestown. But then we saw his house and it's like five car garage. It's got a built in car wash. I mean, that guy's too much. Anyway. You're talking about earlier on one of your shows that when you go to Africa you were going to do a little swimming thing. Is it skin diving or scuba diving? I was a skin diving with a mask of snorrek from my house. Scuba with an air tank? What are you gonna do?

00:30:45
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not the one with the air tank. I'm snorkeling. I may have said scuba diving because I don't get in water, so I don't know the difference. But I'm doing the one where you put the little tube and your float and you got your slippers on, and that I'm doing that thing.

00:31:00
Speaker 10: Well, there you go, listen, I have a good time. I don't talk to you before that. Enjoy your eight beautiful women, and one of them.

00:31:12
Speaker 3: I appreciate the call somebody.

00:31:15
Speaker 4: I got a piece of advice that they said to me that I need to wear compression socks on the flight so that you don't because it's fifteen hours long. So I bought compression socks and I guess I should have known this, But they come up to my knees. Yeah, so, because I guess they come up to my knees. I'm gonna have to I don't want to be the guy wearing shorts with socks up to his knees walking through the walking through the airport.

00:31:40
Speaker 3: In New York. Actually looks good on you.

00:31:43
Speaker 6: See he's right there all right, you know what, sir, let me apologize to you.

00:31:51
Speaker 8: You know what, that's great. Look that looks great.

00:31:56
Speaker 4: And I think making him black socks makes it work even better. You wear it well, and you got the nikes, you know what. I take it back now, I walk the streets of Manhattan or wearing that exact?

00:32:07
Speaker 3: Are those combat boots that you're wearing?

00:32:11
Speaker 6: He looks like he's going on a South af Actually, yeah.

00:32:14
Speaker 3: You actually look like.

00:32:15
Speaker 4: I don't have any of the clothes you're supposed to have. Like it said the thing I got said wear Safari pants.

00:32:24
Speaker 3: What does that even mean? Like I don't even know it.

00:32:26
Speaker 4: Well, they said, don't wear shorts because there's snakes and like briars.

00:32:31
Speaker 5: And things, aren't they kind of like cargoes, cargoes with a slot of pockets.

00:32:36
Speaker 3: Yeah, to keep your knie If you wear those, then.

00:32:38
Speaker 8: You can compression socks. Nobody will see it.

00:32:40
Speaker 5: You know.

00:32:41
Speaker 3: No, I'm gonna wear long pants.

00:32:42
Speaker 4: But it said like wear cargo pants, like that's just or not excuse me, they said Safari pants, like that's just something I have drew.

00:32:48
Speaker 3: I don't know what that means.

00:32:49
Speaker 6: I was gonna go back to the flight fifteen hours. Just pull your socks and shoes off. Let those puppies breathe. I know, is that is that unacceptable?

00:32:57
Speaker 5: Probably?

00:32:58
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know.

00:33:00
Speaker 4: I don't know if I want to sit next to a guy who's got their shoes and socks off a period of time, but don't.

00:33:06
Speaker 6: Let the dogs out on that flight.

00:33:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, well it's a long time. I mean the flight takes off at eight o'clock. Think about this for a minute. It takes off at eight o'clock in New York. When it lands, that's on Friday night. When it lands, it will be five o'clock the next day. In South Africa, it'll be eleven am on my body time, but it'll be five pm.

00:34:43
Speaker 3: One of the.

00:34:43
Speaker 4: Cooler moments for our NFL Cover zero podcast was when yesterday the NFL network I turned it on and at the bottom scroll it said NFL Cover zero hosted by Kentucky Sports Radios Matt Jones and Drew Franklin.

00:34:56
Speaker 3: Drew, that was kind of awesome. I'm not gonna lie to you to see that on the NF. I didn't know they were gonna do that, so that was kind of neat, very cool.

00:35:03
Speaker 6: I was actually having dinner with my parents and some family that was in. I was kind of like, can we just casually change the channel over here real quick and kind of got to flex for the family.

00:35:10

We've gotten some great feedback of it's kind of I mean, it's us, but it's also you know, Drew and I've known each other so long, we kind of know some things about each other, and there's just a like We're a little more casual in that, and I've really enjoyed it. So we were starting to get our fade this energy so well.

00:35:34
Speaker 6: I've got a lot of feedback of people who say, I don't watch the NFL, but I'm listening and following because of this, because of fade, this, this show, all that, and those are the ones I appreciate you you.

00:35:44
Speaker 3: I appreciate it too.

00:35:45
Speaker 4: And then Sunday Night, you know the latter the Sunday night game is Bill's Ravens. We have to record it after it, so we're gonna be at the studio with Mario and Billy like what. There'll be eleven or eleven thirty at night and we're going live there. Eventually it'll be live for people can watch at the end, but we'll probably do some social media video from it. Are you excited to do our in the middle of the night, just when we needed a.

00:36:08
Speaker 6: Little more work to do on the weekend? That's fine, It's the NFL. I'll watch football all day anyway. Now, I just have to drive downtown for a couple hours to meet with you all at the end of the night.

00:36:17
Speaker 4: So the bar opens tomorrow eleven am. Our show starts at eleven thirty to one thirty on all the affiliates. Please listen if you come in.

Adam Luckett is gonna again join us in an hour two to provide actual information to get you to get you ready for the game. And I'm looking forward tomorrow to being there, Ryan, I expect a lot of fans Old Miss listen to that, the old Miss, the grove, whatever thing offered to they wanted to have, like an event.

00:37:00
Speaker 3: From eleven to one.

00:37:01
Speaker 4: We're kind of asking can we have the bar and I said no, right, no, no offense to you, but we have to have Kentucky fans in there before the game.

00:37:09
Speaker 3: And that's what we decided.

00:37:10
Speaker 7: Kentucky they need this fan base to be there, be loud and be proud. I mean, they got a chance to this huge windom all they need your help.

00:37:17
Speaker 6: Yeah, sturt out with one hundred and fifty thousand wants to come by here.

00:37:19
Speaker 3: It was hard to turn down.

00:37:20
Speaker 4: He was it was gonna be a nice little chuck of change grow collective. But I was like, you know what, I don't think our fan base would appreciate it. All Right, Draft Kings bet five win three hundred dollars. It's time for our Draft Kings parlay. Go to Draft Kings dot com. This will be on the front page. We won week one, yeah, so you would have won eight to one. Eat it if you got it in week one. So, Shannon, what's it gonna be this week? You tell me the first leg?

00:37:44
Speaker 3: YEP.

00:37:44
Speaker 5: Last week I with the last lug that sealed the deal. I'm gonna do it again. This week. We're gonna go a late game with San Diego State Washington State. Washington State is a one and a half point favorite. Can be Washington State and one and a half.

00:37:55
Speaker 3: Love it. I actually love that pick. I like it a lot so Washington State. That game doesn't.

00:37:59
Speaker 4: Start till ten to fifteen, so we won't know two in the morning whether or not the KSR parlay hit.

00:38:06
Speaker 3: I also like it that way.

00:38:07
Speaker 4: Shannon doesn't last, so if we lose early, he doesn't get blank. That's why I know how Shannon's mind works. Sorry, Washington State minus one and a half.

00:38:15
Speaker 3: What about you, Drew?

00:38:16
Speaker 6: I have a night game a little before his feel good about this week because it's a stadium I've been to. I've already scouted this out, even though it was like fifteen years ago. We're going to East Lansing. Michigan State is gonna beat Boston College at home. Michigan State had a close directional game last weekend. There's a biving overreaction. They're fine, Boston College beat up on some scroll. You taking Michigan State just money line at home? Their four point favorite, but just win, Just win Michigan State at home.

00:38:41
Speaker 4: Michigan State money line, you're taking the spread of Washington State.

00:38:44
Speaker 3: All right? What about you?

00:38:45
Speaker 7: West Virginia on the road at Ohio. I like West Virginia this money line, West Virginia pick over Ohio this money line money line.

00:38:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is crazy.

00:38:54
Speaker 4: I saw that West Virginia is playing at Ohio, which is weird in and of itself. But they are only a three and a half point favorite, which is like, it doesn't seem like much. I mean, if you know where Ohio's campus is, it doesn't feel like it's that far from West Virginia. I could see West Virginia having more fans. So we got West Virginia and Michigan State money line, Washington State against the spread. I'm gonna finish it up. I'll actually be the first game to play. Illinois is at Duke, and Illinois is only a two and a half point favorite. I've been to mini games Duke football. No one goes Illinois's right to eleventh in the country. They're gonna have as many fans there as Duke, if not more. I will take Illinois to go on the road and win two and a half. I'll even take it against the spread. So Illinois minus two and a half, Washington State minus two and a half, West Virginia and Michigan State too.

00:39:43
Speaker 6: Well, there's another stadium we've scouted out. We did KSR there one time.

00:39:46
Speaker 3: We did.

00:39:47
Speaker 4: That's exactly right, all right, Kentucky Mark Stoops. Let's you all come on down here, Kentucky and Mark Stoops. Kentucky is one one and oh so is Old miss. This is a massive game for both teams. Cats come in needing. It lost eight straight sec home opener. Shannon, give me tell me what the what score is? Gonna be and who the MVP is.

00:40:08
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say, Kentucky shocks the world, wins this game tomorrow. It's gonna be twenty one to twenty and I'm gonna go with Daltell.

00:40:16
Speaker 3: Look at this guy, that's my MVP. I wish i'd known that. I think Kentucky's gonna play really well.

00:40:22
Speaker 4: I can't pick them to win just because I think there's too much on the other side.

00:40:27
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, i gotta have some credibility here. I'm gonna say Kentucky.

00:40:31
Speaker 4: I would say, oh Miss thirty Kentucky twenty one, and I'm gonna takes our MVP. I do think we'll I'll take the other running back. McGowan, what about you. I'm gonna join Matt. I'm sorry, my optimism is on the back end of the schedule. Stick with me for November. We're gonna win a lot of games then. But right now I have ole Miss winning.

00:40:50
Speaker 6: It'll be close, they'll pull away in the end to win twenty seven to seventeen. My MVP will be on the Kentucky side. Zach Calzada will at least take a step forward and put away a few of the concerns Kentucky'll give him a game, but one win.

00:41:03
Speaker 4: After many years of epic Ryan Lemon performances, we retired temporarily the the motivational speech two years ago. However, since that moment, Kentucky hasn't done It's great, Ryan Lemon.

00:41:18
Speaker 3: It's time to bring it back.

00:41:19
Speaker 7: Let's go, gentlemen, take a knee. You guys are all full yourself. One to zero, undefeated.

00:41:29
Speaker 3: Whook the freaking doude? Who'd you beat?

00:41:32
Speaker 7: You beat Toledo, Toledo.

00:41:34
