Speaker 3: Welcome to Hour two of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones welcome back.

00:01:07
Speaker 4: I remember two Kentucky Sports Radio eight five nine two eight twenty two eighty seven. The good thing about talking about books on audio is how many people tell me Ryan they listened to Mitch Please that took so long to record that audiobook. I remember you saying that it was like fifteen hours in the studio.

00:01:25
Speaker 2: Now what I didn't realize though, that you used your your different voices for different characters and stuff.

00:01:31
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it was me. Then Tomlin came in and did his parts. We actually had a couple people that are in the book who came and did their own parts right when they were talking to me. There's one I won't spoil it if you've never heard it, but there's one who's a pretty prominent character who does his own voice. And then I would do some voices sometimes, you know, because I'm almost, like, you know, a master of impressions, Drew, So I would do some voices sometimes.

00:01:58
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're like Frank calliando, Yeah, a little bit, a little bit, but you do your wu cusht a wu I do wu.

00:02:05
Speaker 6: I do the crazy old man voice.

00:02:06
Speaker 4: And my British voice. I have like three and that's it. They all kind of sound alike, to be honest with you, But that's all right, all right, So I want to play something. Ryan Meyern Metcalf. ESPN decided to let Meyern Metcalf call a college basketball game on the radio. All right. He did Clemson Virginia for ESPN Radio. All right. So I talked to him the week before and he was a little nervous because he said, you know, I never done this before. You have any tips? And I was like, well, I've never done a play by play for a game before, so I'm not the guy to ask. He said, I just don't want to be too excited, and so I got to listen to some of the game. This was last week, and he was a little overly excited, but he did good. But he was wanting to figure out drew a catchphrase, all right. He wants to have a catch phrase. You can't force one. I agree, But he didn't ask me about the catchphrase. So he came up with the catchphrase, and he waited for the moment to hit Shannon, Are you ready to hear Myron Metcalf dropping his catchphrase? Last Saturday Virginia and Clemson.

00:03:17
Speaker 6: Let's do it?

00:03:18
Speaker 4: Catchphrase? Myron here we go eight seconds on the shot clock. Something has to happen. Andrew Roddy tries something that happen, and Anthony Robinson says, tell your friends about me. There you go, tell your friend tell your friends about me. Just now play the isolated See if you think this is a good catchphrase, go.

00:03:40
Speaker 3: It's not opening. Now what this say is we couldn't open the media file.

00:03:45
Speaker 4: I would just play the whole clip again.

00:03:47
Speaker 6: Throws it out and go back in.

00:03:49
Speaker 4: Good lord, No, see this is why I need Billy. Billy may be harsh rhyme, but he gets the he gets the production ready.

00:03:56
Speaker 6: I had it ready. It just wouldn't go all right.

00:03:59
Speaker 4: Well, he's skippy. I was ready to be excited. What do you think Ryan about tell your friends about me?

00:04:05
Speaker 2: It didn't sound like it was forced. I thought that's the kind of sound of a little natural. I know, you know this is Mondays with Myron, as we love Mondays with Myron. But I don't know if that one's gonna catch on.

00:04:14
Speaker 4: Why not? I like it?

00:04:16
Speaker 5: Tell your friends about me, Drew, it's unique. It's now it's Myron's thing. I guess he's got to stick with it.

00:04:23
Speaker 4: Anybody else do no is that Is it a reference to anything? Or he just come up with it with him on the plane to Washington, D C. And on the drive to Virginia. All right, let's do it again, about me one more time. Tell your friends about me. I like it perfect, all right. I think if you look on that email, Shandon, I think he had one more. Is there one on there that says something about a search engine? Do you see that one? Let's see there's one more on there that I think there's uh, okay, I guess he doesn't have he he also had one that said google me, which I liked, Google me, So congrats them my friends about me? That's angry. I think when you isolated, though, it sounds kind of awesome, and I think that needs to go into our drops. I like it when something happens. I think you hit those drops. Tell your friends about me. That's exactly right. If I'm not twenty twenty seven. They had the Oscars last night. Anora won for Best Picture. Ryan. Are you going to watch it?

00:05:38
Speaker 2: I'm probably not gonna watch it. I don't know anything about it, but I know they want.

00:05:42
Speaker 4: I just told you today what it was about, but you don't remember right.

00:05:46
Speaker 6: Do not have any memory.

00:05:48
Speaker 4: I think if I tell him what it's about, Drew, he'll want to watch it. That's why I almost don't want to tell him what it's about, because then you'll want to watch it.

00:05:55
Speaker 5: Let him be surprised now that he knows it's an award. Women don't need to know that.

00:05:59
Speaker 4: That's exactly right, Ryan, Why don't you just watch it? Okay, don't know anything about it, and then tell me if you like it. Just go in straight.

00:06:08
Speaker 2: I know it won a lot of awards last night, and it's like an independent film.

00:06:11
Speaker 4: It's an independent film. It's it's it's it's actually very good. I think you'll like it. I genuinely do. I think you'll like And then the woman from that won an award the guy Best Actress, Yeah, best actor was the guy from The Brutalist Adrian Brody. You would not like that movie.

00:06:30
Speaker 1: Uh?

00:06:31
Speaker 4: I also, uh, what's his name? From Succession one Roman Karen Culkin mccullay, Culkin's brother. He won basically for playing the same character he plays in Succession in a different movie.

00:06:45
Speaker 5: Best Speech of the night too. I don't know if you saw it, but his wife told him at one point that can have more kids if he ever wins an Oscar like jokingly, so he got out there and looked at his wife. He's like, I didn't forget that comment, so you just have another kid. Yeah, he wanted a kid. Proved he won a Golden Globe and she said talk to me when you went an Oscar, kind of you know, pushing him off, and then he said he hadn't mentioned to it one time before that speech. So yeah, he had a pretty funny speech there.

00:07:10
Speaker 4: That's good. Good for you. I wonder if he's like, you know, when he plays Roman on Succession, he's a certain kind of thing. You think he's like that in real life or is that just like a complete character because he's in no speech up to what he's like on that show.

00:07:21
Speaker 5: In his speech, it felt like he was watching Roman. He's still kind of that smart alec funny guy. So I think.

00:07:26
Speaker 4: So he's great on Succession. So Anora is the h is the big winner. And finally Shannon John Cena, oh former OVW superstar, for the first time in his wrestling career, becomes a heel. He is has there. I was trying to think of this. Has there ever been a wrestler Shannon that was a superstar that was never a bad guy, or a bad guy that was never a good guy. Have you ever can you ever think of one that never switched sides?

00:08:01
Speaker 3: No? No, I mean that would have been John Cena.

00:08:04
Speaker 4: John Cena is the only one I can think of that had gone his whole career only being a good guy. And then Saturday Night Ryan, he becomes a bad guy. He turns on Cody Rhodes, another OVW guy, beats him up and becomes a bad guy for the first time in his career at the age of forty three or whatever.

00:08:28
Speaker 6: Why he's like mega.

00:08:30
Speaker 4: Supersts where all of the wrestling world is asking why would he do that?

00:08:34
Speaker 6: Because he's joining the Rock.

00:08:35
Speaker 4: He's joining the Rock to perform. The Rock's a bad guy too. They're performing a Hollywood alliance.

00:08:42
Speaker 3: Oh boy, I mean, who would you want on your side, Cody Rose of a Rock, I'd want the Rock.

00:08:47
Speaker 4: So there you go. John Cena. First, here's what's crazy, you know he does. He's like everybody who knows John Cena say, he's like one of the greatest guys ever. He does a lot of make a wish stuff. He's done like one hundred and fifty make a wish things Chinn, and he didn't make a wish thing that day right before the event, and then became a bad guy.

00:09:07
Speaker 6: Did you see the kids crying?

00:09:09
Speaker 4: The kids were crying way when he.

00:09:13
Speaker 6: Turned on Cody.

00:09:15
Speaker 4: So can you believe he would do that? Drew like the nicest guy in wrestling turns heel.

00:09:22
Speaker 5: I think it's kind of awesome. I mean, everyone needs to be the bad guy for a little bit. It's wrestling. The kids might not get over it, but I think it's a good I don't know how much he has left in his career, but a good last storyline for him. And I wonder why Travis Scott was there though I'm not watch it closely enough.

00:09:38
Speaker 4: Why was he punching? I'm not sure? And did you see he actually punched him really hard? I don't think. I mean, go watch that punch. Somebody needs to work with Travis. That was not I bet Cody Rhodes didn't like that a whole lot.

00:09:55
Speaker 6: Probably not what title was he carrying it around?

00:09:57
Speaker 3: Like it's like you you just create your TI managers walk around with their own title belt.

00:10:02
Speaker 4: Oh well, that's a good question.

00:10:04
Speaker 6: You think maybe they're watching all.

00:10:05
Speaker 7: Of you do.

00:10:06
Speaker 4: But maybe so. I can't think of anyone ever only being on one side. I'll be honest. It makes me now want to watch it and see what they do about it. But the kids, Ryan, what about the kids? What are they gonna do? It makes my heart.

00:10:23
Speaker 2: They're out in the crying because their heroes switched to be a bad guy.

00:10:27
Speaker 6: Is there some big event coming up?

00:10:28
Speaker 4: Is that why they're trying to say it's called WrestleMania. Yeah, it's usually the same weekend as the Final four. So anyway, a very shocking set of circumstances there for uh for for mister scene. Oh yeah. In an interview Ryan, they asked him why did it? And he dropped the mic. Then later he was talking to somebody and said, I got mad because when I came back they made fun of my bald spot. Ah, they did, they did, they did do that.

00:11:00
Speaker 3: And Channon, you know, let's go see a Sina sucks for a decade at least.

00:11:04
Speaker 4: There you go. All right, let's go to Clayton. What's up, Clayton.

00:11:10
Speaker 7: Well, since you brought up wrestling this past weekend for the first.

00:11:16
Speaker 8: Time in Fayette County school history, A team won a state wrestling championship, and that will be the Lafayette Generals.

00:11:30
Speaker 4: Well, didn't Union County win? Oh the Lafayette girls. Okay, gotcha?

00:11:33
Speaker 7: Gotcha Union County? Yeah they warn't.

00:11:37
Speaker 4: But yeah, well, congrats to Lafayette. I spoke there a couple of months ago. Probably Ryan gave him some some confidence to go win the the win the state. What else you got?

00:11:50
Speaker 7: What else do I have? Well, one other thing I wanted to tell you guys is if we just gotta we need to stay away from Auburn. We need to stay away from We need to stay away from all the top two too. But you can't guard.

00:12:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, well you can't do that. I appreciate. I appreciate the call. You're not allowed to stay away from all of them, and we're getting we have all our guards that we're gonna have because we're not gonna have Jackson Robinson and we're not gonna have KRK Cresa. So the team we have is a team we're gonna have. Ronnie, go ahead, Ronnie.

00:12:25
Speaker 9: I was seriously anticipating when the game came back on TV after the outage that they would be under an official review again. Still, they've got to do something about it. It is ridiculous and it totally just stopped any momentum anybody has it.

00:12:41
Speaker 4: All the reviews are ridiculous. They're out of control. They're out of control. They got to do something about this. In the offseason, they go to the review Jay Billis is exactly right. Let each coach have one review challenge. That's it. They go to it way too much. They got you know, the flagrant they called on Butler. He didn't even blow the whistle in real time. Now, if you look at the monitor, I can see why they called it a flagrant. But if it was, if it wasn't even in real time, how you going to the monitor? And now they're going to the monitor about everything. They're going to the monitor about whether a ball goes out of bounds. Ten minutes with left in the first half, like, stop it. It's taken. That first half took an hour and twenty minutes. I'm with you, man, it's absurd. Appreciate the call. I can handle it drew at the end of games because you want to get it right. But at the beginning of games they went to the monitor five times in the first half. That is ridiculous.

00:13:38
Speaker 5: The loudest moments on Saturday, I think we're booing the refs at the monitor and they couldn't go to the monitor anymore after the broadcast went out, and I think if the broadcast had to mess up, I think we would have had a three hour game because it went two hours in like forty two minutes. You give them a few more chances to go to the monitor, and that would have been a three hour basket.

00:13:55
Speaker 4: Apparently, Yeah, they they wanted to go to the monitor again and it was out and they could. And I do like that.

00:14:01
Speaker 6: I agree with you guys.

00:14:03
Speaker 4: Man.

00:14:03
Speaker 2: Just give each coach one and if it's right, he gets to keep it. But if he did wrong and boom, he loses it. Dude, it's getting ridiculous.

00:14:10
Speaker 5: It's also vet and how they're scheduling these two hour games. We've had three straight games where you saw like just three fourths of a Kentucky basketball. You know, if you're not switching to the app with it's the eight minute time out in the in Oklahoma before that is the eight minute time out, and Alabama in this game, you miss most of the second half. It's just becoming a horrible product on TV.

00:14:28
Speaker 4: You just have to. The writings are way up for college basketball this year. The next step get rid of the monitoring. If you say or make it shin and where it just takes a second, Like we can all see it. Watch it one time. Here's my view. Watch it one time. If it doesn't flip what you called on the floor, then that's it. There's no reason to slow it down to eight times.

00:14:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, we can watch it at home and have our mind made up in seconds. They take two or three minutes.

00:14:53
Speaker 4: Make ten seconds, be like the NFL. Have someone that's not there, do it right. It'll be done instantaneously. Yep. State Renovation isn't just your go to for kitchens, baths and basements.

Oh that's new a state renos dot com slash KSR for a free consultation. We'll take a break. Be are at backs Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio eight five nine two eight twenty two eighty seven one person rights, Matt. The reason the box caught on fire outside was because the referees looked at the monitors so much and overworked it. I can see that, Ryan, it was ridiculous set.

00:16:00
Speaker 2: Like you said, and when it doesn't matter in the middle of the first half or checking on who the ball went out of bounds on.

00:16:05
Speaker 6: And then you wait the call.

00:16:06
Speaker 4: You watched the women's game, it gets done in like an hour and forty five minutes through like it. Like those games don't take as long. They just let them go play.

00:16:15
Speaker 5: I looked this up recently for the website, but there's been one SEC game that's lasted two hours for Kentucky. All others have been at least two hours and fifteen minutes. That's what The two hour games don't exist anymore.

00:16:25
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's wild. Eight five two eighty seven cop open lines. How about this, Shannon. Somebody just wrote me the author actually wrote me, did you know there is a fantasy that we were talking about? Author from Kentucky, Except she writes books where the protagonists are not like like vampires or fairies. They're athletes, okay, and they're called Kentucky stallions, one stallion from each sport. And the women who who steal their hearts also have their toes curled.

00:17:07
Speaker 7: Now.

00:17:07
Speaker 4: The author's name is Kristin Lee, and I'm gonna can I read you the names of the books. The book about baseball all your Fault. I don't really know what that is, but that's okay. The book about hockey is called on the Ground. But then the next two Kristen gets a little spicy. The one about football is called called on the Knees, and the one about basketball is out of Bounds. So there you go, Campus Stallions.

00:17:43
Speaker 3: I've got some suggestions. We're write one where the radio host is the protagonist.

00:17:47
Speaker 6: That would be great.

00:17:48
Speaker 4: Uh is it Billy? Is it Billy?

00:17:53
Speaker 7: Oh?

00:17:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh Billy is what we'll call it.

00:17:56
Speaker 4: All right, old Billy. It works. By the way the women's team played, I thought well against South Carolina, drew for three quarters. It was a one point game in the fourth quarter, and then South Carolina pulled away right at the end. They had a run at the end. But I thought, actually a really good performance for the women going into the SEC tournament. They get the double by they'll be the four seed. The coin flip, I think went their way. So South Carolina is the one, and I think they could beat them in the right setting. I thought Kenny Brooks's team with a pretty good performance yesterday.

00:18:28
Speaker 5: Yeah, if you just look at the final score and you know they lost by twelve, that doesn't tell the story because they came back and were right in the right order before it got separated. Like the men's game, the bench was a big part of the story. It's like thirty two to two or something between South Carolina and Kentucky. But it showed that they can.

00:18:45
Speaker 4: Hang with them. I mean, we thought cow was odd with his bench. I heard them say during the game, Ryan that I'm sorry Don Staley for South Carolina. Her two leading scorers come off the bench.

00:18:59
Speaker 6: Reading, Rob effect going on it South. Have you ever heard of that before?

00:19:01
Speaker 4: I mean, Read and Rob were not our two leading scorers, even though they may have should have been along with Reeves, but their two leading scorers come off the bench for South Carolina.

00:19:10
Speaker 2: I gotta know what the strategy is, like the one girl tell the coach, hey, I feel better coming off the beach.

00:19:16
Speaker 7: I don't know.

00:19:16
Speaker 4: I just I don't think I've ever heard of that before, ever until until yesterday.

00:19:22
Speaker 5: Christ that coin flip.

00:19:24
Speaker 4: Yeah, so they had a coin whip. Did you see the coin flip ship?

00:19:29
Speaker 3: But I have questions about this? Okay, how far down do you have to go before you get to a coin flip.

00:19:34
Speaker 4: To the Apparently they played each other twice, they split it, and then they beat everybody else, so there was no way to decide. So they flipped the coin and they had South Carolina on one side and Texas on the other in South Carolina one but they were like, what else are you gonna do? They each won every other game.

00:19:51
Speaker 3: I think they should have like they should like, h like maybe like a shooting contest, like let's put some cameras up, will live stream this.

00:19:58
Speaker 4: Okay, like a three point that would actually be kind of cool. You know, each team gets their own like their best shooter. Yeah, they sitting there standing in their gym and then it's a three point gund.

00:20:10
Speaker 6: Sure, I like I mean, anything's better on a coin flip love it.

00:20:13
Speaker 4: I think that's a great idea, Chamon dude, I think has added to the sports Let's go Chris, go ahead, Chris.

00:20:21
Speaker 10: Hey, Matt hey, guys, just quick two points that I wanted to get your takes on. One are the foul calls that seemed to be a hot button. That is definitely not the reason why a lost to Auburn. Auburn is a great team. But I will pose the question for you get your thoughts, is that sometimes, in my opinion, the number of fowls isn't always an accurate representation. What do you mean by that is it's oftentimes just the type of foul and the scenario that are more important. And I'll give you two examples of that during the game. Is Phila Mountain Butler flicker one right? How many times you ever see a dude going up for a layup and get the flicker one called on them. That's a big turnaround. That's a key type of foul, type of scenario.

00:21:02
Speaker 4: But by the rule, it was a flaggirl. But by the rule it was a flagrant. I mean, I agree with you that you don't see it called a lot but the rule is what it is. And you know, now the car call was just a bad call. The car call. He didn't touch him, But we lost by sixteen points. I mean again, I want you how many games in a row have we had fans complaining about how bad the officials have been again against us. It's literally been like the last five games. And there comes a point that when it is actually bad, because I do think sometimes it is, we can't just complain about it. And we lost by sixteen you know.

00:21:43
Speaker 10: No, And might argument is though it was not the number of foules six reachin fouls on Auburn against k does not alrs were.

00:21:50
Speaker 4: Not reaching, they were not reaching. We we shot a lot of free throws. We shot a lot of free throws. I bet we shot more free throws. I don't have the number, more than I bet we shot more free throws than we've shot any game this year. I mean they we stayed in the game in free throws. I mean we made after thirty eight. Yeah, I mean we had thirty eight free throws. Now they had thirty one. But that's a lot of free throws. I appreciate the call, so I just can't be like Drew. You know, we the reffs were out to get us. We shot thirty eight free throws. You know, we went the line a lot.

00:22:30
Speaker 5: I think they had like twenty something in the first half. There was a lot early too. It's kind of the only way Kentucky was scoring early on. Yeah, I think officials have just been bad in general all year, not just our game. I don't part of a lot of it is the the dead periods of going to the monitor. But I'm not blaming any of Kentucky's losses on that.

00:22:48
Speaker 4: You know, the car three call, that was a bad call, right, I mean they he didn't even tall And it goes to the point of now they're calling that you foul on a guy, like you land on a guy, it's a foul, And now they're calling it even if they don't see the landing, like well, he fail, so it must have been a foul.

00:23:04
Speaker 2: That seems to be I don't know if it is a point of emphasis that this season in the SEC they're calling that more than I've ever seen him call it before.

00:23:10
Speaker 4: By the way, the UK baseball team also had a sweep this weekend. UK baseball team is now what ten and one is that right?

00:23:19
Speaker 5: Have five games this week.

00:23:20
Speaker 2: To play at EKU tomorrow and then host EKU on Wednesday.

00:23:24
Speaker 4: A back to back EKU double. Yeah yeah, wow, all right, well we will take a break if I'm nine to two eight twenty two eighty seven. Get in here. It's Kosi.

00:23:34
Speaker 11: TJ.

00:23:35
Speaker 5: Smith personal injury attorney, call TJ.

00:23:37
Speaker 1: He'll make them.

00:23:38
Speaker 6: Pay now more.

00:23:39
Speaker 3: Kentucky Sports Radio present it by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.

00:23:43
Speaker 4: This is a really strange song if you listen to the lyrics, Shannon. Yeah, I mean it's basically him meeting a prostitute in a hotel room and they sing it like it's like I remember hearing it like you know, at church picnics, right.

00:23:58
Speaker 3: And that's pretty much the music video too. I mean that's yeah depicting.

00:24:02
Speaker 4: It's just interesting how like people are just like, well, we like Sammy Kershaw. It sounds happy, so third rate romance, romance, low rent rendezvous. And it's an old song too. It came out first in like the sixties by a different singer. Oh really, okay, yeah, because I'll hear that one on Willie Nelson sometimes.

00:24:22
Speaker 3: I guess I'm about to go see Sammy Kershaw.

00:24:24

00:25:03
Speaker 2: No?

I'm going to lunch today with Venetti and Terry Miners, first time the three of us have been together since COVID.

00:25:50
Speaker 3: I think are y'all going to old spaghetti factory?

00:25:52
Speaker 4: I suggested that, by the way, but I was, but they went. Tony wanted to go somewhere else, some fancy Trinity Saint Eg kind of place, but I suggested the spaghetti factory. Ryan. Did you see the thing about the Kansas players, Zeke.

00:26:07
Speaker 6: Rose, I don't think I've seen this.

00:26:09
Speaker 4: So Kansas lost at home to Texas Tech. They've they've lost double digits I really have not had a good year, and considering that they were preseason number one by some people. And after the game, Zeke Rose, who has grew up in Lawrence, Kansas, tweeted all of these messages he got basically saying he's the worst, people saying he should kill himself, and then some racial slurs, and he tweets out the messages and says, so I'm sorry I didn't play well, but then just shows what people had written, some of which were used by people using their real name. Bill Salth later that night puts out a statement says, you know, why don't you blame me? Why are you doing this with players? Blah blah blah blah blah. He then yesterday as an interview where he goes, I kind of wish I hadn't done that. I feel like I gave it more attention, And so it sort of gets to a question, obviously it's awful. I don't think it just happens at Kansas. I think it happens at every school, probably including this one.

00:27:17
Speaker 8: What do you do?

00:27:20
Speaker 4: I mean? It is clear at least on social media, at least on Twitter, but maybe on the other platforms too. These platforms have no desire to stop that kind of behavior, like it's just gonna happen. What do you do? Do you just you can say all you want to. Kids don't get on social media, but their whole lives are on social media now. And do you think you say nothing? Do you think you highlight the bad behavior? What do you do right?

00:27:53
Speaker 7: It is?

00:27:54
Speaker 2: It is a tough call because you know you're you're trained to ignore it, be the bigger person, be thin. But yet when somebody's saying stuff like that about why don't you go kill yourself or something? Man, that's the way crossing the line.

00:28:07
Speaker 4: And we're talking about nineteen and twenty year olds, right, We're not talking about fifty year olds. Drew, What do you do if your bill's self and you're trying to protect your players? What do you do well?

00:28:18
Speaker 5: First of all, I saw him tweet the screenshots and I actually liked it. Good call these people out. I wish I think two of the forehead names, I wish all four head names because it was so bad. I think it needs to be seen so those people. I don't know if an employer will see what can happen, but they need some consequences because that was just awful stuff people were saying in private to him, and I'm glad you put light on it. I don't know what you can do to stop it, though, because like you said that, you got to have the apps to help shut these people out. And I don't know that they're going to do it, but I'm actually glad he called them out publicly, even though it's hard to look at and it probably shines a bad light on the fan base as a whole. But when it's when it's that awful, I think it needs to be called out. What would you do, Shaven, Well, you.

00:28:57
Speaker 3: Know, normally I would say ignore it, but if somebody's given your death threats, you know, the people that run the apps aren't gonna help you. I mean, I guess you could turn it over to police and let them handle it from there. I mean, you know what else can you do? You can call him out like he did, but yeah, I don't know what that it really accomplishes.

00:29:13
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, part of the problem is everybody, you know, you can have anonymous accounts, right, and those anonymous accounts can can just say whatever. I don't know. I am continually amazed at how cruel people can be online, you know, at the end of the day, Like, I understand getting frustrated about a basketball game, but it's a basketball game, right, And I feel kind of particularly bad for this kid. He grew up in Lawrence, Kansas RND. He didn't get an offer from Kansas, so he went and played at like South Dakota and he did well, and then they brought him back to play at Kansas his last couple of years. So this kid grew up a Kansas fan, grew up in Lawrence, gets to wear the team's jersey because he's been a little disappointing. That's the reaction he.

00:30:00
Speaker 6: Gives, and that that hurts.

00:30:02
Speaker 2: Man, It makes the story even sadder when you put it, put that, put that perspective on it. But you know, there's gonna be people, and you tell me what you think. People say.

00:30:12
Speaker 6: These people just want to engage, want to engage with you. They want a reaction. Then they feel like they win by just poking your nose.

00:30:17
Speaker 4: That's certainly true. So what do you do? I mean, I listen, I deal, I deal with the same stuff exists. I'm older than him, so in theory I should be able to uh to handle it better. But Yeah, I mean it's easy. It's very easy for people to say, Shannon, you should do X and Y when it doesn't happen to you, to write sure, Like a lot of people can go hey Zeke Mayo, Hey Bill's Self, Hey Matt Jones. Just ignore it, and then they'll get in their car and somebody will cut them off on the road and they'll flip them off and try to you know, right, Like the littlest thing can set those people up. Yeah, there just comes a point. What's hard about online for these people, especially kids, is that their whole lives are on it, so it can feel like, I'm sure in that moment that Shanon, the whole world is after that kid.

00:31:10
Speaker 3: I'm just glad that social media did not exist when I was this age, because that's got to be so tough growing up and you know, constantly being on social media since you can remember, and you've always got people who are just jerks on there.

00:31:23
Speaker 4: I saw an interview with UH with with Monica Lewinsky Ryan. Yeah, she was on I think Alex Cooper and she was talking about when all that happened and she was like, I was nineteen or twenty, and she said, you know, even though it was awful. She said, I could go home and get away from it. She said, I can't imagine if it happened today on social media. She's right, can you imagine?

00:31:47
Speaker 6: She would never get away from it, never be everywhere.

00:31:50
Speaker 4: And like it would be impossible. I just, you know, I felt bad for that kid. I don't know how. I don't know if there's something else you can do, but I will. If you are a grown person and you are in a basketball player, football player, any kid's DMS writing him after a game, you need you have you need to look at your life, like what am I doing?

00:32:14
Speaker 6: It happens here, we can't be not even of course it does.

00:32:16
Speaker 4: Of course it does. I mean it's not a Kansas thing. That's just where it came out. Eadie, go ahead, Eadie.

00:32:23
Speaker 11: Hey guys, I hope you all are doing well. You know, it's frustrating. It seems like the team was playing better at the beginning of the season and has like not improved. However, you know, I've seen all these things on Twitter saying, uh, Pope was a bad decision or this and that, and I don't think Pope was a bad decision at all. I am still one hundred and ten percent behind Pope. I think that he's going to end up doing great things at Kentucky, And in reality, none of us even expected to have as good a season as we've had, So you know, I just hope that everybody still gets behind them and supports them.

00:33:13
Speaker 4: I still think he has. Yeah, I appreciate the go I still think Drew he's got mostly the fan support, don't you. I mean, I think that he, for the most part, is still I mean I think it's a very tiny group of people that are not on board.

00:33:30
Speaker 5: Yeah, most are supportive. I mean after the game, I think there's a part of the fan base that needs to put their internet away for the night and go outside and get some fresh air because there's some overreactions. But it's obvious that it's an upgrade from what would have been if we run it back, so we can start with that, and then we still got to give them a full season of building a team before I think you can really form any opinions about the future. I don't know if it will work out long term, but I'm not judging them in this scenario where he's been injured all year and had a month to put it together.

00:33:58
Speaker 4: They're telling me, Shandon, it's a cheating wife, not a prostitute. Oh okay, but I mean still, oh okay.

00:34:06
Speaker 3: So there's no money exchange. That's the difference, right, it's just two marriages, no transaction.

00:34:12
Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, all right. I feel like it's probably be better if it was a transaction.

00:34:15
Speaker 6: I mean, if she didn't make it any better, makes it worse.

00:34:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know that that makes it any better. Apparently the tour is Kid Rock's tour and it's called Rock the South, so.

00:34:26
Speaker 6: He will definitely go last.

00:34:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, he'll go last, perfect time. You know. I like to sneak out anyway, Shanon.

00:34:33
Speaker 6: Yeah, I know that about you. You're good at it.

00:34:36
Speaker 4: And we've already seen Kid Rock. We saw him at the Republican Convention. Yes, yeah, we bought with our governor, with Matt Bevin, who seems like such a swell guy. We'll take a break and be right back. Oh no, first tell me about Stocking.

00:34:48
Speaker 6: Mortgage s Doctor Mortgage. I pulled it up.

00:34:50
Speaker 2: I knew I had a feeling you were getting ready to ask me that. Yeah, because it's on the list our friends at Stockton Mortgage make home ownership happen, and Tim can attest.

00:34:58
Speaker 6: Here's what he had to say.

00:34:59
Speaker 4: This is Tim.

00:35:00
Speaker 6: We had originally tried to finance our new home.

00:35:02
Speaker 7: Is oh I do that?

00:35:03
Speaker 4: When I read the book Shandon, I go, this is Bob.

00:35:05
Speaker 6: Can Tim tim a voice?

00:35:08
Speaker 4: Yeah? Okay, okay, yeah, let's give it. Give Tim a voice.

00:35:11
Speaker 12: Well, had originally tried to finance our new home with our old lender. After six weeks of very little action, we were suggested to try Stockton Mortgage. We followed that advice, and immediately things begin to happen.

00:35:22
Speaker 4: How's that? Where? What was that supposed to be?

00:35:25
Speaker 7: Like?

00:35:25
Speaker 4: Where was that person supposed to be from?

00:35:27
Speaker 7: Uh?

00:35:27
Speaker 6: He just has a deeper voice, okay, Jesus manly? Yeah, a manly voice mainly.

00:35:31
Speaker 2: All right, go ahead, Stockton Mortgage give him a call proply online at Stockton dot com NMLS eight two five nine equal housing lender.

00:35:38
Speaker 4: We were going to take a break eight five nine twenty two eighty seven. Somebody just writes here, uh, Drew and says, does Kentucky Basketball have a general manager? I keep reading about other schools doing that. Do we have someone officially in that role? I don't know.

00:35:53
Speaker 5: There's the Robinson gab but I don't know his exact role if that's what they call him.

00:35:57
Speaker 6: But he's like director of basketball, so I don't know.

00:36:01
Speaker 5: That they call him the general manager, so I lean know.

00:36:04
Speaker 4: Yeah, I kind of think we don't. I'm kind of I'm kind of with you, all right, we'll take a break, be right back to SCSR. Probably listen to this song two hundred times this year, maybe one hundred and fifty. I just I like this song so much. I listened to zach tops version more. But this is such a great song, and they're gonna be there, that's right.

00:36:25
Speaker 6: Yep.

00:36:26
Speaker 3: Ten million views on YouTube, so you've got at least two hundred of them.

00:36:29
Speaker 4: Yeah. I listened to the zach Top version on TikTok.

00:36:32
Speaker 3: What's I don't know what that is.

00:36:34
Speaker 4: Zach Top is a is a country singer. We've talked about him before and he he has a version of this that I think is really good. He sings like he has his own songs. We've talked about this guy and maybe you weren't here. He sings like nineties country, so he has his own stuff too, but like he sounds like a ninety like he sounds like he could be on that tour we're talking about.

00:36:56
Speaker 3: I'll have to check it out.

00:36:56
Speaker 4: But he's a young guy. He's only twenty four, but he he played in Nashville. I think our friend Aaron Fleeer was there, Drew he was, Yeah. I think he just did the Ryman last few nights. But his manager is a UK fan. That's cool if I'm nine two eight twenty two eighty seven. The Baseball Commissioner, I knew you'd care about this, Ryan says he's going to consider whether or not to allow Pete Rose to be voted on for the Hall of Fame.

00:37:27
Speaker 2: Now, we said this when Pete Rose passed, that they were going to pass some sort of legislation to get him in the Hall of Fame after he'd already passed away.

00:37:36
Speaker 4: Can I say, what is the biggest lie that has ever been told by a human being on Earth? On Friday, Donald Trump pardoned Pete Rose. Whether you think that's good or not is a different conversation, but he did it. Then on Saturday this comes out and the Commissioner said this had nothing to do with what Donald Trump did. So you're telling me, Shannon Yea. Then it's been thirty five years since he got banned and you were considering this, and it just so happens to have come out the day after the President did it. Stop it, yeah, stop it. You did it because he did it. Now I'm of the belief all these dudes should be in the Hall of Fame, because how you gonna have hall of fame that doesn't have the all time hits leader and the home run leader. It's not a who's the hall of a good person? Yep. It's a question of who's good at baseball and you can put a plaque in there that says this dude bet on baseball, but he also was really good. So I don't to me, this is a non story. But I will agree with you Ryan, if they were going to do it, wait until he dies. Seems kind of light.

00:38:42
Speaker 6: It just seems very lame.

00:38:44
Speaker 2: And there's no doubt Major League Baseball is just doing the dinner right now because of the President's action.

00:38:48
Speaker 6: Kind of makes me upset about his family.

00:38:50
Speaker 3: I'm almost to the point where I just want to be spiteful and go, no, we don't want to.

00:38:54
Speaker 4: Apparently they've asked for it. Apparently they're the ones that went to Trump.

00:38:56
Speaker 6: Well that's Okay, that's their decision there.

00:38:58
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I guess he has one daughter that's alive.

00:39:01
Speaker 6: Couldn't have done it a year ago he was still a ling man. They should have done it years ago.

00:39:05
Speaker 4: But he won't get in, though, don't you think, because like, if the Baseball writers are not voting in Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, why are they gonna all of a sudden vote in Pete Road because he's dead?

00:39:16
Speaker 6: Because he's being serious? No, I think I think that's the thing.

00:39:20
Speaker 2: You know, So the Veterans Committee maybe can voting in, maybe, but he has to go through the ballot process for a number of years, so maybe.

00:39:26
Speaker 4: A lot of times before he gets dead guy out. You know, well he's not out. I mean, there's a lot of dead guys that aren't in.

00:39:32
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, if they're up for a vote's what I mean, Like, you're not just gonna not vote for the dead guy.

00:39:37
Speaker 4: I think they vote against dead guys all the time. I mean, like, ie, well there's a lot of dead guys not in the Hall of Fame, like all of them. But the vote is what I yeah, sometimes sometimes like they might die, you know. I just think Drew all these guys, Bonds, Clemens, Rows, shilling Wire, all those guys should be in. Whether you think there with jerks, awful people, just let them in and then everybody makes their own judgment. You can write what they did on there if you want, Yes you can. But he but like they were great, put them in.

00:40:15
Speaker 6: I agree.

00:40:15
Speaker 5: It's the Baseball Hall of Fame, not the your life all fame. I mean, didn't OJ and the.

00:40:21
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame?

00:40:22
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would stick with the stats that way. It doesn't cause there once you start doing that debate about what they were as people, then you get into gray areas. Just focus on exactly what they did on the baseball field.

00:40:32
Speaker 4: Once you get into the people thing, there's a lot of people you could take out, and there's probably a lot of people that did stuff right and we don't even know they did.

00:40:40
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, you know what I mean.

00:40:42
Speaker 4: So like you just can't. To me, you just can't get into that stuff. Pete rose Bet on baseball. He got in trouble for that. He got banned, right, he had tax evasion. He got in trouble and he got banned. He's accused of some other stuff that's pretty bad. And that and people can know like it is what it is. But the Hall of Fame is not the hall of good people. It's like how you played when you played baseball.

00:41:05
Speaker 6: You said it.

00:41:05
Speaker 2: The answer is just put it on their plaque if you need to put an asterisk and say what you know the other side of his story.

00:41:11
Speaker 6: But still he deserves to be in. All those guys are.

00:41:13
Speaker 4: Do you agree with Travis Hunter Ryan who said what he does in football is harder than what shoey Otani does in baseball pitching and hitting.

00:41:23
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I'm a baseball guy, but I would probably admit playing defensive back and receiver in major college football is a little harder than Oh.

00:41:31
Speaker 4: Wow, wow, I think you're crazy.

00:41:34
Speaker 6: You're crazy, man, Like we're talking about just physical ability.

00:41:37
Speaker 4: Oh he's saying him playing offense and defense is harder than show Hay pitching and hitting. That's insane.

00:41:45
Speaker 2: The talent is better for sohey, But I thought he meant just the physical toughness and ability to take dude.

00:41:50
Speaker 4: It's and it's two different skills. Like the thing about being a receiver and a defensive back. Yeah, they're different skills, but they're kind of similar, right, Throwing a baseball and hitting one is a completely different.

00:42:04
Speaker 3: Thing hitting a baseball and just set aside the pitching thing that's harder to do than anything in sports.

00:42:10
Speaker 4: I don't care to be the best hitter in baseball, Drew and one of the best pitchers is crazy if you think about it.

00:42:19
Speaker 5: Yeah, with the skill easily show I think Ryan means almost like endurance of having to play a whole game versus both. I think that's what Ryan was saying. But no, if there's probably several corners that could go play receiver if they had to, and vice versa, where show Hey, doing both is insane.

00:42:33
Speaker 4: I just think it's like being a great golfer and a great quarterback, Like it's two completely different skills and yet he's able to do it. So I think it's ridiculous. Thank you all very much. Tomorrow Kentucky and LSU, we will be at ks Bar and then the pregame show is at four point thirty. This has been Kentucky Sports, right about me. Good One

00:43:01
Speaker 2: Statist st
