00:01:47
Speaker 3: And Drew Franklin, we got here.

00:01:48
Speaker 2: You guys went out, stayed, did your thing last night, and this is the group's running a little ragged, but we're ready to go.

00:01:54
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:01:55
Speaker 6: I've had a lot of fun in you Saw. I know it's not Salt Lake, but I enjoyed popping through BYU Saw.

00:01:59
Speaker 3: Their case.

00:01:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Provo. We went to Provo. Utah went to BYU yesterday. I'm wearing my BYU shirt today in honor of Mark Pope. You talk about another beautiful campus with that football stadium, with the mountains behind it, and the y sitting there and every student with a perpetual smile on their face as if they're being programmed to do it. It was wonderful, Shannon.

00:02:21
Speaker 7: Yes, it was a great visit there. And I got up this morning and went for a little jog. I wanted to breathe.

00:02:26
Speaker 3: And I'll tell everybody where you jogged to.

00:02:29
Speaker 2: So, Shannon is in Salt Lake, home of some of the most beautiful Mormon you know history, There's mountains, there's everything. You got up at seven am to six seven am, our time play five a yeah, and you ran where.

00:02:44
Speaker 7: Well, I was one of the first of all breathing all the pollutants out here. Wanted to take them all in. And then the filming location for Halloween five, the Michael Myers House, was just two miles up the road. And because somebody is being a jerk and won't drive me two miles there, I decided to get up this morning and run so you got up this morning to the house jog to the scene of Halloween five.

00:03:04
Speaker 4: Which was a terrible movie by the way.

00:03:06
Speaker 7: But I've already been to Halloween one, two, three, fours also here somewhere, but five was right up there, so I figured, you know what, when in Rome, you might as well go check it out.

00:03:14
Speaker 4: I tried to get Max to get up and run with me.

00:03:16
Speaker 8: I'm sorry, Yeah, you wanted to skip full y.

00:03:19
Speaker 7: Well fours farther away, it's like six miles away. I'm a four mile guy.

00:03:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, I should have got up. I'm sorry. I apologize. You really love the Halloween And what's there? You told me somebody lives in the house. They do.

00:03:30
Speaker 7: It's just a big mansion, which is a really cool house from the movie, you know, and you what did you do?

00:03:36
Speaker 4: I took a picture and I came back.

00:03:38
Speaker 7: Here's the thing. We've been in a car for six days. None of us have had any exercise. We eat like crap. I figured, you know, it's better than a treadmill, better than a treadmill, why not go out and check out some scenes?

00:03:48
Speaker 3: All right? Well, so we yeah, I'm glad you did. We got here.

00:03:51
Speaker 2: We went to the BYU campus. Then last night I gave Max the opportunity. I was like, you can pick wherever you want to eat in Salt Lake. I don't know what salt Lake is known for food wise. I couldn't really think of anything. So I said, Max, just pick something. And you have to be the first person in the history of the United States to say, you're in salt Lake, let's eat Cajun food. That's what they're known for. And we went to a Cajun restaurant and I have to say it was very good, but it was a surprising choice. Well, let's rewind a little bit. We uh We talked to Vince Marrow. He seemed like he was in a hostage situation. I felt like yesterday in the car, I was in a hostage situation. I did actually give us a recommendation and you just said, no, we're not going there.

00:04:34
Speaker 3: What was it just?

00:04:35
Speaker 2: Well, you said Ramen, and I stopped eating Ramen in college. I don't understand the whole idea of eating like Ramen's like supposed to be forty five cents in a little thing. Why people pay twenty dollars for ramen? Shannon, I'll never understand.

00:04:50
Speaker 4: I'm not a Ramen guy either.

00:04:51
Speaker 3: I mean, the old pigs are equal.

00:04:53
Speaker 8: Some pigs are more equal than IM's animal fib I mean, this is just one of those things I spoke up and.

00:04:57
Speaker 7: I just got shut down. It's one of the few things I can cook though. You just the mic away with a little water and there you go.

00:05:02
Speaker 2: Maybe I'll learn more about it what I learned. But we've had a lot of fun. Let me give a couple of updates because there's a lot going on in UK football, etc. We'll get to it. Two good stories though before we start. One good story because the UK basket women's basketball team lost their first game last night at North Carolina, fell behind early, never were able to come back. So just like Kentucky, they take the men's team, they take their first loss in the ACC Challenge, but the women's volleyball team Ryan wins their first round the NCAA Tournament against Cleveland State. They will play Minnesota on Saturday in the second round with a chance.

00:05:37
Speaker 3: To go to the Sweet sixteen.

00:05:38
Speaker 5: I saw some a couple of pictures too. Looked like it was packed there last night. A lot of Kentucky fans wins support the volleyball team, which has become this super superpower team in the conference.

00:05:47
Speaker 2: That's right, The high school state football championships begin at noon today. The ks BAR will have a lot of high school fans coming in and out over the next couple days. You guys, if you're coming up for the state tournament from anywhere, please come see us. We'll make our predictions a little later in the show. But Drew, you and I first have to express some feelings I think to our friend Mario and maybe some discipline and to each other.

00:06:13
Speaker 3: Apparently, yeah, so so Mario.

00:06:16
Speaker 2: You know, Mario is has been a great addition to the community when everybody agrees. Yeah, And Mario is somebody who we've he's learned since he's been here to try to get the best out of KOs R.

00:06:28
Speaker 3: Wouldn't you say that?

00:06:29
Speaker 2: Like he like he films us, he takes pictures of us, videos, he tells us, like what challenges to do, Like he's he's kind of like he's getting the next generation in a chaos KSR. Like those kids right there, they'll become CHOSR fans because.

00:06:45
Speaker 3: Of the stuff Mario. Absolutely Mario does.

00:06:48
Speaker 2: So you know, yes, we did the thing yesterday usually when the show's over, Mario and I quickly talk and go, what are the segments that might make good online content?

00:06:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, right right, I.

00:07:00
Speaker 2: Said, you know what, us talking about the hats might be good. Where we bought the hats, etc. So Mario said, yeah, that's it, and he creates a two and a half minute video about us buying the cowboy hats.

00:07:13
Speaker 3: I made the mistake.

00:07:15
Speaker 2: So Mario now has posting privileges Drew where I don't have to check the video. When we first started, I had to check the video. Now I trust Mario's judgment. Maybe a mistake, I don't know on this one. So I saw the video and this is on Twitter, it's on Instagram, it's on TikTok. It starts with me talking about buying a hat, talks about Drew by his hat, what made us both do it? And then we say we're both cowboys now. But you have to get about a minute forty five into the video to see Mario inserts pictures. And Mario inserted a picture that someone had made that made Drew and I look like we were from the movie Broke Back Mountain. It has it has Drew in a cowboy hat standing behind me with his arms over top of me, and he puts it in there for a good Drew.

00:08:09
Speaker 3: Ten to fifteen seconds. Shannon is showing the picture right now, and he put that on the video that was clearly made by somebody trying to make fun of us, and it's not the best picture, Drew. When I saw it, I was like, why did Mario put this in here? I don't think there's any reason for Mario to put this in here? What were your thoughts? Well, I like you.

00:08:35
Speaker 6: I trust Mario with my life, so I didn't even watch the video and I just started hitting a repost on all my apps.

00:08:41
Speaker 3: I wanted people to see it.

00:08:42
Speaker 6: So you and Ha retweeted it, oh yeah yeah, and then brought to our attention to dinner what happened in there?

00:08:48
Speaker 2: And Mario was very clueless as to what a wait, So let's put the camera down here first. Actually, Sarah, I'll tell you what. Will you film this? You could be a guest filmer of this, because I want Mario to be on here. Ryan, give Mario your head sip just a second. Mario, come in here for a minute. I appreciate you, Mario, but you decided for reasons I don't one hundred percent understand to put that video up?

00:09:11
Speaker 3: Why did you put that video up?

00:09:13
Speaker 9: So?

00:09:14
Speaker 10: Typically, how you know?

00:09:15
Speaker 3: Work?

00:09:16
Speaker 11: After the show, I go through like like comments, I look online, I'm looking for pictures.

00:09:21
Speaker 10: It's called b roll.

00:09:22
Speaker 3: I'm looking for b roll. You're looking for me roll. That's what they say in the industry.

00:09:25
Speaker 11: Yes, yeah, to add And you know that was one of the pictures that popped up.

00:09:30
Speaker 10: I didn't really look too much into it.

00:09:32
Speaker 2: Now, when you say you didn't really look into it, did you not notice the sort of overall vibe of what that picture was trying to say. Drew is right behind me, whispering into my ears, smile on my face.

00:09:47
Speaker 10: It looked like you guys were close. I didn't want too much into it though, And you didn't.

00:09:52
Speaker 3: Think Now, have you ever heard of the movie Broke Back? Now?

00:09:56
Speaker 10: No, I haven't.

00:09:56
Speaker 3: You didn't know what that movie was.

00:09:58
Speaker 10: Never seen it, never heard of it, So you.

00:10:00
Speaker 2: Didn't know the sort of I don't know inference that worse to come from the movie.

00:10:05
Speaker 10: Nope, not until like googled it at dinner.

00:10:08
Speaker 3: And did you think did you think about maybe googling it before? So I just hope you know you have now.

00:10:15
Speaker 2: Given the picture for Louisville fans, Tennessee fans. They're not even gonna know that's fake. Right, You've put that out there.

00:10:26
Speaker 4: It's out there now, guys, and the internet doesn't forget.

00:10:29
Speaker 2: And the Internet doesn't forget. Do you think maybe, in hindsight, you could have used a different picture.

00:10:35
Speaker 10: I could have, But I feel like everything happens for a reason.

00:10:37
Speaker 3: So maybe, oh, you think this was God? Do you think this was God's play? It was like God's plan for you to put that picture out?

00:10:45
Speaker 10: Maybe maybe I felt like it was good content to me.

00:10:48
Speaker 2: Can I tell you what he said to me on the way up to the room last night. I said, I can't believe you put that picture in it? And he goes, well, I googled that movie. There's a lot worse pictures. That's right, Mario.

00:11:03
Speaker 12: It could.

00:11:05
Speaker 2: I would have hoped Shannon there wouldn't have been even worse pictures he would have put out.

00:11:10
Speaker 7: Yeah, I would have thought that maybe he would have understood what that was. I want to defend him, though, because I stood in the back seat with him as he's working on these videos. It took him three hours to put that two and a half video together worse.

00:11:21
Speaker 3: You work very hard, Drew. I guess we just have to live with this now. Right, Well, there's no taking it back. You can't put the toothpaste back into Mario.

00:11:30
Speaker 6: I do have a have a have a plan, an idea mandatory viewing for Mario in the car today.

00:11:35
Speaker 3: I'll give you my kindle.

00:11:36
Speaker 6: I've already bought Broke Back Down for you.

00:11:38
Speaker 3: You have to watch it, understand, so you know what, so you know what you did, and we want a book report. All right, all right, well, Mario, I do love you, but I'm not sure that picture was the one to use. But I am proud of you on this trip.

00:11:53
Speaker 2: What have your been your thoughts of traveling around like we've done this many times, you've never done it. You had never been west of the Mississippi River, or you're now sitting here in beautiful Salt.

00:12:01
Speaker 3: Lake with all of these fans. What's that been? Like?

00:12:04
Speaker 11: I was just talking to some fans. It was like, it's incredible. It's beautiful out here, mountains and it's like everywhere everywhere you go, it's a different scene. You know, you have snow on mountains and then you kind of have like a Grand Canyon mountains, all different types of mountains. It feels different out here, the weather, the air feels different. But for the most part, man, I'm just enjoying.

00:12:24
Speaker 10: The moment with you guys.

00:12:25
Speaker 3: You know, in the car. What's it been like sort of dealing with you know, older lamer white guys driving across the country.

00:12:34
Speaker 11: Nah, you guys aren't lame. You guys aren't lame. I would say, you guys are all funny. To be honest. Yeah, it's always a joke that's going on, whether it's in the van or after a show. I'm I'm enjoying it, to be honest, just hanging It's like hanging out with my uncles.

00:12:49
Speaker 2: Five crazy there you go, ks R hanging out with your uncles.

00:12:53
Speaker 3: Well, thank you, Mario, appreciate. Take a break.

00:12:56
Speaker 2: We'll talk a big day in the UK football yesterday, and then of course you can basketball plays against Gonzaga. We are twelve hours from Seattle right now and be heading that way. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. Look at John getting music that applies.

00:13:15
Speaker 3: Very good, John.

00:13:16
Speaker 8: That's this is like Shannon's in control again.

00:13:18
Speaker 3: That's right. That's right.

00:13:19
Speaker 4: I guess that's the reason you two are setting so far apart, right.

00:13:22
Speaker 2: Trying to make sure no listen, Jun that joke has been made about me specifically and me and Drew for fifteen years. I'm used to it. I'm not worried about it. I just didn't expect Aunt to Mario for it to be you that would take.

00:13:37
Speaker 3: Us down in the in that moment. That's okay, though I still love him.

00:13:40
Speaker 8: Drew with his bad boy image now with the cowboy hat was Murray was probably lucky he wasn't wearing it at the time because there might have been some trouble. I mean, he's been close in trouble now with these new mentality and everything like that.

00:13:52
Speaker 6: This is a good thing we shipped home. I mean, I've been looking for fights ever since I became a Cowboys.

00:13:56
Speaker 2: We got twenty people here already. There may be more that come about. I mean, big Blue Nation, right, No matter what we've had, this will be our biggest. I'm expecting tomorrow in Seattle a lot of people. At the end of the show, I'll tell you where it's gonna be. I would say the place is probably gonna be full, but twenty people in Salt Lake City on you know, a night's notice is pretty awesome.

00:14:20
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was gonna say, we didn't put this information out where we're gonna be till late tomorrow after yesterday evening. Yeah, well, we had a good crowded Windsor. But this is the biggest crowd of the.

00:14:28
Speaker 2: It's been the biggest crowd and we're just hearing the lobby. And I always liked the looks of people going, why what is this? Yes, so one person writes, Matt, you sound so old. Modern ramen is so much better. You need to learn about it. What is modern ramenerent times?

00:14:46
Speaker 4: How is it different than old ramen?

00:14:48
Speaker 3: I didn't talk that.

00:14:51
Speaker 6: I don't It's not just like the package for ten since there's vegetables, there's meat in it, there's it's a it's a.

00:14:58
Speaker 3: Sounds excellent shape.

00:15:00
Speaker 10: Yes.

00:15:03
Speaker 2: By the way, the volleyball team plays tonight tonight. It actually occurs tonight, so I said tomorrow night. They actually played tonight. Minnesota a birth in the Sweet sixteen on the line. Remember, basically all the best top teams in the country, Kentucky's played them all and with the exception of Nebraska.

00:15:19
Speaker 3: Played them all really close.

00:15:20
Speaker 2: They didn't win most of those games, but they have a shot in this tournament if they get going to do something.

00:15:26
Speaker 5: Yeah, Craig Skinners taking the approach. He's gonna play all these tough teams early so they're ready for this time of year now and they can make a tournament run.

00:15:32
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:15:32
Speaker 2: One person rights, I need an update for Max. Give me the U turns and the overall Matt driving nobility.

00:15:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we got to six.

00:15:40
Speaker 8: Matt described some of the Utun's as tours, which there said, yeah, d tours.

00:15:46
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what he said.

00:15:47
Speaker 8: Some of them will forced upon him, which again it's just a Utun and he missed a couple of exits. I think we're at six. We're at two cowboys in love. What's our other one hockey ticket? We've been trying to keep as many talents as we catch up. A theory on the pollutants, Can I share it really quick?

00:16:02
Speaker 3: Yes?

00:16:02
Speaker 8: Okay, So when I before I moved here, obviously I knew a few teams got over here and then heard of the Utah Utes. Okay, the Utes in Australia is a truck. So I thought people in Utah g they love trucks. So there's your pollutants right there. Everyone's just driving trucks around. Is truck in Australia call them utes? Yes, I was like what and you tier are nothing right? They're just people from Utah, So well maybe they should be trucks. Maybe that's what it happened, what I thought it was.

00:16:31
Speaker 6: Last night Max was telling me all the things he thought about America until he got here and how wrong he was. Like he thought Stanford was a basketball powerhouse because they were good one.

00:16:40
Speaker 8: No, I had so at foot locker. I had four like teams that I could choose from. Don't ask me why Stanford was one of them, but it was like Kentucky, dou North Carolina, and Stanford. And I'm like Stanford, Christmas Tree, I'm getting these. You thought they were a power a powerhouse. Oh that's great. All right, So the football team, let's go over some updates. We talked about day and Key yesterday.

00:17:00
Speaker 2: Barry On Brown entered the portal later in the day, Ryan, not a surprise they came out last night. He's choosing between old Miss LSU and Texas A and M.

00:17:12
Speaker 5: Yeah not noh, shouldn't be surprised about this. You know, things just didn't work out well for Barry on his past season. They tried to give him the ball a lot early to get him going, and it just never happened. But he would have some big breakout home run plays.

00:17:23
Speaker 3: What if he goes to LSU.

00:17:24
Speaker 2: I mean, you got a chance that you could have dame Key at Georgia, We go down there next year and Barry and Brown at Old Miss?

00:17:30
Speaker 3: Who comes into Kroger Field next year?

00:17:33
Speaker 5: That would be crazy, wouldn't it. It would be crazy. But you know Barry on I can see why he's looking at Old Miss. You know, with Lane Kiffin down there, these guys want to go where they're going to maybe get the ball, which is what did not happen in Lexington.

00:17:43
Speaker 2: I'm not going to make you speak on this because I don't want to, like, I don't want to put you. You don't have to confirm deny, but we do need to talk about there was a report Drew that damee Key turned down eight hundred thousand dollars to come back to Kentucky. Now, whether or not he gets more than that somewhere else or not, that's a huge amount of money to give a non quarterback. I am fairly certain no Kentucky player that's not a quarterback has been offered that at Kentucky pretty amazing amount of money.

00:18:15
Speaker 3: Does that surprise you?

00:18:17
Speaker 6: Well, when it surprised me that we're able to offer that's I mean, that's let from what I've known about Dane, he wants to go play for a team that can win a title.

00:18:26
Speaker 3: I get that.

00:18:28
Speaker 2: But the fact that we're offering eight hundred thousand dollars to a wide receiver to say to stay says to.

00:18:32
Speaker 3: Me maybe we have more nil than we thought.

00:18:35
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's not surprised that Dane didn't stick around.

00:18:39
Speaker 3: You know, he wants to go win.

00:18:40
Speaker 6: He's had three good years here and the offense just hasn't given him what he probably deserves all the receivers. So I'm not surprised he wanted to try something new, But I am surprised we have that money Land.

00:18:49
Speaker 3: That's a lot of money in him, I think. I mean, this is just me speculating.

00:18:52
Speaker 6: I don't know anything, but you know, you turn around in Macklin's coming back, maybe.

00:18:55
Speaker 3: That was what's hanging on it. We didn't get to that.

00:18:57
Speaker 6: Well, I'm still making a point I'm saying that eight hundred thousand probably went to a lot of people, and they're gonna help him out.

00:19:01
Speaker 2: Feel fun He spoiled the answer, but I was going to say, then they have Jeremy Macklin come back. You have to assume that he probably came back because some of that money they were gonna give to Day and goes to him. I heard yesterday Anthony Brown Stevens, who left, was actually getting paid more money last year than almost anyone on the team except.

00:19:21
Speaker 3: Brock and Barrion. That he might have been our third highest paid player last year. We did even play Max, which is insane he left.

00:19:31
Speaker 2: That may be one of those you say, will you go to free this money up if we've been paying you this and you didn't produce.

00:19:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I know.

00:19:37
Speaker 8: Some people haven't liked Stoops his answers in his press conferences, but he has alluded to the fact that they feel like they've got their ducks in a row or a bit more money to spend and throw around. So I'm expecting some big moves in the portal. It is funny, though, with how much money they have to spend on recruiting, et cetera, that like some teams just go after the guy that played good against them. So Barrion had that breakout play against Old Miss where we just threw it deep and so thereafter him, It's happened with us Ray Davis because he dominated us with Vandy Markey's cooks at the left tackle was really good. We played in Northern Illinois the year before. They just go off to the guy that played good against them, like the year.

00:20:11
Speaker 6: Brock Vandergriff even came in and played against Kaucky.

00:20:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, Shannon, I mean, I I this is just me talking and this may not be official, but kind of doing the math in.

00:20:20
Speaker 3: My head during all that time we drive, I.

00:20:22
Speaker 2: Sit there and think, I think these are the five people that got the most money in in Aile from uk Lesh.

00:20:29
Speaker 3: It's not official, but just from what.

00:20:31
Speaker 2: I've heard, I think it's Brot, Vandergriff, Barry and Brown, Dumas Johnson, Dion Walker, and Anthony Brown Stevens. You could make an argument that of those five Doomas Johnson was really the only one who met expectations, Dion Walker maybe seventy five percent. That does free up a lot of money to go do something if they want here in the portal, just something to think about it.

00:20:56
Speaker 7: First of all, I feel like the entire team's leaving. Second of all, if somebody offers you eight hundred thousand dollars and you still want to go to me, that shows you just how I think that's damning, to show you how bad the culture is for Kentucky football.

00:21:11
Speaker 4: Eight hundred grand and you don't want to be there.

00:21:12
Speaker 3: Do you think that's damning?

00:21:14
Speaker 5: I think the perception is definitely damning, don't you. I'll put another guy in there, chip train them. I think they gave him a lot of money last.

00:21:20
Speaker 2: Year trip chip train them. So that's six. So let's just say those are the top six. I think you can only say.

00:21:26
Speaker 3: If you're just talking about last year, and if these were our top six paid guys, I ain't Drew only do miss Johnson.

00:21:34
Speaker 2: Would you have said, is one of our top six players? So we might have been paying six guys to be our top six and we really got production out of one maybe two if you include Dion Walker and how you think he did last year.

00:21:49
Speaker 6: Yeah, Chip was a big one. I mean that was an injury that's not really on Chip. But even Harrison missed a lot of time with an injury. I'm sure he was commanding a lot of money your top players, just you weren't getting a good return on that investment. I don't think last season, especially with the portal guys.

00:22:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, your quarterback, namely.

00:22:03
Speaker 2: So it might be the case that, like how you spend this money, Max, maybe we gotta.

00:22:08
Speaker 3: Get more efficient at that. Yeah.

00:22:09
Speaker 8: I think one of the biggest clips of the year came from College game Day when Saban said, it's not how much money you spend the way he said it in different ways, but it's not how much money you spend it. So you spend it on it's gonna be super important.

00:22:20
Speaker 3: Come out the fact I didn't riize how much Anthony Brown Stevens was getting. Yeah, that's crazy. And if he was getting that kind of money to not play, I don't know. I wondered with that one. This is me guessing again. But they did the big John Legend concert. Yeah, and I wonder if part of that John doing it was like take care of my guy, because.

00:22:38
Speaker 2: That's you may be right about that. You might have gotten you probably are right about that, honestly. All right, Well, take a break. We are here in Salt Lake City, great crowd of Kentucky fans will be right back this see is Kentucky Sports Radio.

00:22:50
Speaker 3: Quarterback.

00:22:50
Speaker 2: It is Kentucky Sports Radio if I'm not two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. It's a couple of people who I think would have some inside on the on the nil highest paid players generally speaking, Vandergriff Berry on Walker, Anthony Brown, Stevenson, Harrison Cutter, Pop Mensi and Maclin.

00:23:17
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'd say it's pretty accurate, and I think Drew said Maxwell harriston Chip train him. These guys that got a lot of money just were hurt.

00:23:25
Speaker 2: I mean, of that group, you can make a strong argument only a couple of them really reached that potential. I mean, remember Mins he finished, he's in the top ten and he finished his time at the congession stand. At least we know he had time to pay or money to pay for it.

00:23:39
Speaker 4: It's money poorly allocated, There's no.

00:23:41
Speaker 2: Doubt, which is why we got to have a GM that knows what they're doing. There needs to be in in my opinion, UK needs to make an announcement sooner rather than layer later. You know who is our GM, because I think Eddie Grant is playing that role some, but I'm not sure if he has total control or not. We needed who is that needs to be a position? Ryan, do you agree Drew a position general manager of Kentucky Football. Here is who it is, because honestly, people need to know when the wrong players picked who it was.

00:24:13
Speaker 6: I've thought since we've started in IL they needed in both sports coaches. Their gift is coaching, and now we have them handling contracts. I mean most of them are. It's a different skill set. It's a different skill set. We've talked about this a lot. You look at baseball, you look at basketball. It's not necessarily people.

00:24:30
Speaker 2: That play that do that stuff right like, it's people who understand math and all that. And I think college sports is gonna have to go that way. Who's up first, John, Thomas Thomas, go ahead, Thomas.

00:24:43
Speaker 13: Hey, Matt, listen, even though you hating on us Catholic schools all the time, we are descending on your place today from Owensboro because we're gonna celebrate free game, a state championship.

00:24:53
Speaker 2: I hope you will. Ullensboro Catholic. You guys always bring a huge crowd to our bar. Hope you do it again. Your radio show. Didn't want to do it from the bar because they said it's been bad luck because they've lost every time they did it. But hopefully, I know the fans are coming instead, and you guys enjoy.

00:25:09
Speaker 13: It all right? Does the loss at Clemson eliminate any scenario where we lose close to Gonzaga and get a moral victory. Did that eliminated any moral victory potential for us?

00:25:21
Speaker 3: Yeah? I appreciate the call.

00:25:22
Speaker 2: I think Kentucky basketball rarely is gonna get a moral victory ever ride and it's Kentucky basketball. But if we lose to Gonzaga, I want us to win. Not the end of the world. Correct, it would have been nice to come out of this trip one and one. I still think we can. I think we can win against Gonzaga. But you know, here's the key. If let's say we lose to Gonzaga, we gotta beat Louisville, beat Ohios Day. Then you go eleven and two into conference play, which is still really really good. Conference play is gonna give you a ton of chances to get good wins. You already have a good win over Duke, so it's not, by far not the end of the world. If you beat Gonzaga, though, and you go into conference play with a win over Duke and Gonzaga hopefully having beaten Louisville in Ohio State, the Clipson loss honestly doesn't matter.

00:26:10
Speaker 3: At that point, people.

00:26:11
Speaker 5: Forget about That's right, you beat Gonzaga and Louisville, sweeping the power team that you play.

00:26:16
Speaker 3: Absolutely and if the great teams in college basketball this year, only one is without loss, now that's Tennessee. Everybody else lost. Everyone else Kansas lost, Duke's lost twice, Zaga lost, p Due lost last.

00:26:30
Speaker 2: Night tw for the second time, Kazaga lost here exactly what Auburn lost, Alabama's lost twice.

00:26:36
Speaker 3: I mean, like, you know, Tennessee's the only one that hadn't lost.

00:26:40
Speaker 6: You don't want to lose games like losing to Clemson stunk. But he got so much goodwill with me beating Duke. Any concerns I had about how good can they be? That answered a lot. I know it was only the third game of the year, but that that already made the non conference slate so much better for me starting off like that that the Clemson thing was just a little bumping the road.

00:26:57
Speaker 3: Totally agree with you, who's up next? Eric?

00:27:00
Speaker 4: Eric?

00:27:00
Speaker 12: Go ahead, Air, Hey guys, how's are going? So I know you guys brought up volleyball and how well they've been doing lately. They do actually play tonight at Memorial Colisee and they play Minnesota. The reason why I bring this up is my daughter started playing volleyball this year at fifteen, as a freshman. So the middle of the season, right after the Texas game, she said, Daddy, can we go to some volleyball games? And I said, you know, I think you know UK's not been playing so good. Let's go to Eastern or something. Maybe it's a little cheaper. And she said, I've never seen UK lose, And.

00:27:39
Speaker 3: Hey, yeah, hang on going.

00:27:40
Speaker 2: Before you even get to the rest of it, hang on a second, go I gotta read. So your daughter looked at you and said I want to go see UK play volleyball, and you looked at her and said, go into an Eastern game?

00:27:56
Speaker 3: Is cheaper? You k Volleyball's like eight dollars, isn't it.

00:28:01
Speaker 12: I didn't. I didn't. I didn't know, Matt at the time. I didn't know. I just figured I had heard that the Eastern games were really cheap and I just thought, and Eastern had won a couple of games, so I thought, well, let's go to Eastern. But no, she said, I've never seen UK lose. She said, if we go, they'll win. They've not lost a game since that Texas game. And we went to six of them.

00:28:26
Speaker 4: Father of the Year. By the way, you don't even take your no, he went, he went to game.

00:28:31
Speaker 3: I know. Finally, how much is that of curiosity? How much was the Eastern game gonna cost?

00:28:38
Speaker 12: It was like eight or nine bucks, but we ended, like the first game, we went and.

00:28:43
Speaker 3: Said, how much how much is the Kentucky game? Oh?

00:28:48
Speaker 12: I spent fifty dollars a ticket to be like down on the front row. You wanted to lie, I.

00:28:56
Speaker 2: Thought, but it's like eight bucks to get in. But you like you're one of those you to sit down front.

00:29:01
Speaker 12: I said, you can do, you can do. You can do general admission, which is like eight nine bucks. But then most of the games here in the last bit of the season has been about twenty five to thirty dollars a ticket. If you want to be even the second lab.

00:29:15
Speaker 2: If you all have not seen a loss yet, I expect to see you there tonight and enjoy the game.

00:29:20
Speaker 12: Okay, well I'm hoping to get basketball tickets this year because three cars and.

00:29:28
Speaker 2: Stick to b ball all right, stick to stay in your lane. I appreciate the call. You can't go to everything and think you're gonna win everything. The good luck is only like in one sport.

00:29:38
Speaker 3: Two things.

00:29:39
Speaker 8: Firstly, Bullyball should pay for that gil to go every single game. And the secondly, though I feel sorry for her. I feel like she's went to a die and was like, Hey, I really like Kentucky. Can you buy me something Kentucky for Christmas? And she opens it up and it's Louisville stopped and he's like, well it was cheaper.

00:29:56
Speaker 3: I will know. We've been to multiple stores on this trip. Multiple you know. I've been getting hoodies. We've gone to.

00:30:03
Speaker 2: Multiple books campus bookstores where someone on this trip has said, do you have a discount aisle so I can buy Christmas gifts for my kids?

00:30:14
Speaker 5: Clarience track is always great for Christmas kids. So guess what Josiah's getting for Christmas this year?

00:30:19
Speaker 2: B Josiah, congrats, Here's a b YU and Colorado State Clearance rack t shirt.

00:30:25
Speaker 4: Doesn't even like BYU or Colorado State.

00:30:28
Speaker 3: First of all, you talked, this is what I love about Ryan Lemon. Ryan Lemon looks at me and says, Josiah loves Colorado, So I'm going to get him a discount Colorado State shirt.

00:30:40
Speaker 4: I didn't see the Colorado shirts.

00:30:41
Speaker 3: We didn't cause were in the Colorado State bookstore.

00:30:43
Speaker 5: Like when we went ahead that lunch, I thought there might be a store there that might have sell Colorado.

00:30:48
Speaker 4: So I just went for Colorado. A Kentucky bookstore doesn't sell you at all. Still, it's true.

00:30:53
Speaker 3: All right.

00:30:54
Speaker 2: Did you hear the story Shannon about the guy that is wanted for shooting the insurance guy?

00:30:59
Speaker 3: How they now think they know who it is?

00:31:01
Speaker 4: No, tell me, it's.

00:31:03
Speaker 3: An unbelievable thing. He went into was it a bank? Starbucks?

00:31:07
Speaker 2: Starbucks? He was wearing a mask in order to not people not see who he was. He went into a Starbucks, and I guess the woman that was making the coffee, she, I guess he was flirting with her. I mean, he's twenty minutes before doing an awful crime. Wow, he's flirting with her, he says. She I guess. She said she kind of was flirting back. Obviously she didn't know he was gonna go shoot somebody in a broad daylight. She was kind of flirting back, and she said, can you show me what you look like? And he pulled his mask down to show her that he was handsome. And that picture is now how they've identified They've only identified him because of where he pulled his mask down to show the Starbucks woman what he looks like.

00:31:56
Speaker 4: How stupid.

00:31:58
Speaker 7: I mean, you know when you go into any tho, they're going to have cameras everywhere. Clearly he went in to cover his face and maybe he just got caught in a moment of weakness.

00:32:07
Speaker 3: He did.

00:32:08
Speaker 2: He goes to show you dudes Drew lose their mind when it comes to women, like they lose their mind. He had planned this huge crime out, he had planned his getaway, He had done enough to escape everything.

00:32:23
Speaker 3: But he sees one girl flirt with him and he's like, eh, I'll show him my face. It's the way it goes.

00:32:29
Speaker 6: I forgot everything he had planned when he was doing You know, I'm not an assassin, don't plan to be one, but I wouldn't even be going to a Starbucks nothing else.

00:32:39
Speaker 8: Well, I was gonna say, is that like it shows bull so that caffeine addiction is real. Like, at what point when you're planning your assassination?

00:32:45
Speaker 3: Are you?

00:32:46
Speaker 8: Do you put Starbucks on the way there? It's like, well that's convenient, there's a Starbucks offway there.

00:32:50
Speaker 3: I'll just stop being grabbing quick coffee cinnimon latte does sound right now?

00:32:53
Speaker 7: Sounds like this guy has done this before though, you know, I mean he's like he's a professional event.

00:32:58
Speaker 2: That's that's how they have the picture. They only know who they're looking for. The police commissioner said, they would have no idea otherwise who it was, except they now have this picture of me starta Bucks?

00:33:09
Speaker 8: Do they not as you you name? When they call it out like that gutties name now spelled it.

00:33:15

Welcome, it is Kentucky Sports Radio here in Salt Lake City.

00:34:04
Speaker 3: Walked around a little bit this morning, so I love it. I do like this a really nice town.

00:34:09
Speaker 2: Like every it's a city, but it also it's kind of feels a little bit like a city but also a little smaller. Got We're right down from the Jazz Arena the Utah Hockey Club, which still it's gonna be the Yeties right probably when they do it.

00:34:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I've enjoyed it here so far. We got great crowd here this morning the Kentucky fans cleaned a.

00:34:27
Speaker 2: Couple of Colgate fans who made the trip because their friend came. How about that Kentucky plays Colgate next Wednesday.

00:34:34
Speaker 5: I have a mind blowing fun fact about Salt Lakes.

00:34:37
Speaker 3: What's your mind blowing fun fact?

00:34:39
Speaker 5: The first Kentucky Fried Chicken did not open in Corbin's right.

00:34:42
Speaker 4: It opened in Salt Lake City.

00:34:44
Speaker 2: It's exactly right. First KFC is in Salt Lake. They say it was.

00:34:47
Speaker 4: In Corbin, that was Sanders Cafe, but.

00:34:50
Speaker 2: It was actually the fate exactly right. The actual first restaurant named KFC was actually here in Salt.

00:34:58
Speaker 4: Lake where we're going for lunch. Shure, I feel like we should.

00:35:00
Speaker 3: Two more folks here. Hello, how are you off?

00:35:02
Speaker 12: So?

00:35:03
Speaker 8: Also, I just want to shut down the whole Brokeback Mountain conversation. So don't go to my Twitter and repost what I just reposted because I want to shut it down and stop all these things being spread. So don't, definitely do not go to my Twitter and repost the video.

00:35:17
Speaker 3: You know you don't. We can leave you as of right now. You don't even have a plane ticket home.

00:35:22
Speaker 2: Just for the record, Max still asp right now, you don't have a way of getting back from Seattle.

00:35:27
Speaker 3: I'm just making.

00:35:28
Speaker 4: You're a permanent residence in Seattle.

00:35:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just I'm just making making clear if I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven one person says Matt, if we had a GM role, what about someone like Randall Cobb. I know Stanford did the Andrew Luck thing, and I think that's cool. And Andrew Luck is apparently like brilliant, so I mean he was, like, went to Stanford, graduating high in his class, so I get it. But for me, I want when you're talking about this level, Ryan, I want somebody who's done it right. I don't just want to take somebody because they're a famous player. Somebody who's done it, who knows what they're doing, I'll take. If Randall's very smart.

00:36:03
Speaker 3: I'm not saying Randall couldn't do it, but I would want to see Randall do it before I brought him in to do it.

00:36:08
Speaker 5: At UK, Absolutely, Kentucky does play in the SEC, the best conference in all the world. You want somebody I wouldn't look at some people who worked at the gentle manager's office in the NFL.

00:36:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, something like that. Totally agree.

00:36:21
Speaker 2: Go find our Jonah Hill for moneyball, right, the guy, the second command guy.

00:36:25
Speaker 6: Anyone with some some on the resume of just dealing with the roster and the moving pieces that come with that give them the money around.

00:36:31
Speaker 4: Did we not have someone from Kentucky that was the GM at the Bears.

00:36:35
Speaker 3: Is that right?

00:36:36
Speaker 2: Maybe a couple of years ago. Champ Kelly is a Champ Kelly. Yes, he was an older Kentucky guy.

00:36:43
Speaker 3: That's right.

00:36:44
Speaker 2: I mean, I have to be quite frank with you, if we hired somebody for this role, honestly, it probably should be a name that none of us even know who it is, right, Like it should be like just you know what I mean, they don't have to be famous. It has to be somebody who knows you don't do the job. I'll tell a little behind the scenes. Max Is is like the Jerry Maguire of Australian punters.

00:37:03
Speaker 3: We've learned that on this trip. Yeah, he knows every punter he knows, like he has been on this phone half of this trip talking to punters about where they were gonna go, talking to coaches about what punters should go. Where you've been doing that. Here's my point.

00:37:20
Speaker 2: He is the mover and the shaker of Australian punters, and outside of Kentucky nobody knows who he is.

00:37:24
Speaker 3: Shannon.

00:37:25
Speaker 2: That's because the real if the real work is done by people you do not know the shot in the sheet. That's exactly right. Chances are the person who should be our GM is somebody none of us even know who it is.

00:37:35
Speaker 4: I try it.

00:37:35
Speaker 7: As long as you know how to balance a budget and allocate money, that's all that really matters. But yeah, Max says the pipeline to all punters, like, if you want a punter, you call it Max.

00:37:43
Speaker 3: He's got mean to these punters too. I will sit there and look at him, go, you worn't good this year.

00:37:50
Speaker 7: You need somebody to tell you that, though, you need somebody to be honest with you.

00:37:54
Speaker 4: He told that one kid you didn't work very hard this year, and the coach was watching you.

00:37:58
Speaker 2: He also said, you can't call your ohja blank blank to one kid. That's very true.

00:38:03
Speaker 4: I thought it was pretty saddy.

00:38:04
Speaker 2: Honestly, when I heard what he called him. You shouldn't call your coach like that won't work.

00:38:08
Speaker 4: A quarterback, I could think maybe he could get away with that. A punter like, who do you think you are?

00:38:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, we won't say who, But a punter called his head coach a blankety blank And I can't say either word on the radio, And I'll just leave it at that.

00:38:22
Speaker 3: Who's next? John? John go ahead, John, uh so.

00:38:29
Speaker 14: Right now for you get football, it looks like we are not have we don't have any plane to fix the old line because those guys aren't in the portal and only think you can fix it through the portal either way.

00:38:41
Speaker 2: Wait, man, we say we have no When you say we have no plan to fix the offensive line, I mean, respectfully, you don't have anything to base that on. The portal's not even opened yet, so like you don't know who's in the portal, like and a lot of almost everybody that we would want probably's playing for a team that's playing for a bowl and they're not in the portal yet.

00:39:02
Speaker 14: Yeah, but it's more so you would have an outlined for like, hey, this is a new regiment we're gonna be doing because most of the O line issues we're having is due to leverage and poor footwork. And there's not been any rebanding or anything publicly saying like most big programs even have like a yoga program or something like that where you work, I'm balancing. That's kind of what we saw with a lot of the tackles is that they were over leveraged and then they would be reaching for guys.

00:39:26
Speaker 2: I mean, okay, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna argue with any of your critiques. But when you say they're not doing anything to fix it, how do you know that?

00:39:36
Speaker 12: I guess I should rephrase it.

00:39:38
Speaker 14: They haven't publicly came out with a plan, and that.

00:39:43
Speaker 2: For better or worse, that's not what this group does. Like they don't really talk and maybe they should. I'm not saying, but I'm just saying they don't. They don't really talk about that kind of stuff. It's kind of not the way he wor operates for better or worse, Maybe he should, but he does.

00:39:56
Speaker 8: Could you imagine that press conference with Max Stoops twenty minutes of just outlying than you O line drills like this is that we're.

00:40:04
Speaker 4: Uh do some downward dog Go ahead, sir, immediately?

00:40:10
Speaker 3: What'd you say?

00:40:12
Speaker 14: I wouldn't renew my receiving tickets immediately?

00:40:18
Speaker 3: Fair enough? I appreciate the car.

00:40:19
Speaker 4: It's only been a week since the season.

00:40:23
Speaker 2: When these people say they're going to enter the portal, they still haven't because it's not open yet. I mean, Jeremy Macklin, if you saw on Twitter and on Instagram Drew, he looked like he was leaving like he was saying bye to BBN, and then he announces he's coming back, so there's still time for things to change. I don't expect the big guys that have announced they're leaving. I don't expect him to come back, but honestly, you never know.

00:40:47
Speaker 4: Yeah, Macklin, it sure looked like he was leaving.

00:40:49
Speaker 6: That exit interview must have gone well with Barryon and Dane opening up some more, some more targets moving forward, maybe a little more money too. I think that completely flipped and just to meet with the coaches and those two going somewhere else.

00:41:01
Speaker 2: I bet he's the I bet he's the center point of the offense next year, don't you.

00:41:05
Speaker 5: You got to think with him and that they really like Fred Ferrier and they really like uh Pardner Gilmore. You know, you got three good receivers you can build on next year, and they're going to hand the ball to Cutter. You know that's something you can go with.

00:41:16
Speaker 3: Who's up next?

00:41:17
Speaker 10: Adam?

00:41:18
Speaker 3: Adam? Thirty seconds?

00:41:21
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's two quick questions. One, what is the number that if I said we scored against Gonzaki, you feel good about us winning? Is it ninety? Is it eighty five.

00:41:30
Speaker 2: I'd say, if we score against Kazaka eighty seven, we win.

00:41:38
Speaker 9: Awesome.

00:41:39
Speaker 3: Awesome.

00:41:39
