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

00:01:05
Speaker 4: I re number two Tucky Sports Radio. If I'm nine two eight to OHO twenty two eighty seven, the text machine is seven seven two seven seven four five two five four here at the KS Bar tomorrow. We were supposed to be in Lebanon, uh for a remote, but we are we're removing that to probably next week, so we will check your online. We might be here at the bar, we might uh not, but we will not be doing that, So just keep that on your on your schedule, Ryan. We are we are getting ready for the start of football season Kentucky and Toledo. We'll probably spend a lot of time tomorrow previewing that game. I did have one question for you, all right, Okay, we we talked about this yesterday about football, but a little basketball question because I got a lot of response when I saw it. Okay, we we often talk about who should be in the rafters who shouldn't be in the and that's a long conversation we don't have to get into. But the question that I saw posed online is let's start with like Patino era to now, and let's remember that Mashburn and Delk have been put in the rafters. Okay, therein what is the order of Kentucky players that should go in the rafters from now forward from that era? And where would you stop it? Okay? So what is the order and where would you stop it? So here was my answer to the question. And by the way, I'm doing order, not necessarily in timeline. I'm doing in the who deserves it the most. Okay. So I had Anthony Davis first, I'm gonna say, and this is controversial, but I think the numbers back me up. I'm gonna say Keith Bogan's Secondly, then i'm gonna say John Wall and then I'm gonna say Tayshawn Prince.

00:02:58
Speaker 2: Those are the four.

00:02:59
Speaker 4: And those four are definite, like you gotta do it. And then I'll hear a case four and am probably willing to consent and put up as a fifth Oscar because he was National Player of the Year and we don't have a lot of people who've been National Player of the Year. But then I'm probably stopping, all right. If I were to restart after Oscar, I think again, if you look at the numbers and the achievements, you probably have to go Willie next. And then next for me would probably be Antwine Walker and then I would kind of stop again, and then I definitely probably wouldn't go past that. But I'm probably stopping after Oscar. But I think Oscar's kind of a debate. But I think couse he's national player that you kind of have to do it. But that's mine. Do you disagree or agree? Do you agree or disagree with any of those people or the way the the order.

00:04:00
Speaker 2: I'm definitely on board with you. The top four, Prince Bogan's Wall and Anthony Davis, I think they're they're locks. But you're right about that ninety six team, maybe one of the top two teams we've ever had.

00:04:10
Speaker 4: But Tony Delk's up.

00:04:11
Speaker 2: That's it. There's there's gotta be somebody else, I think from that team.

00:04:15
Speaker 4: I think maybe that's who it is. Maybe that team, I mean, think about the twenty fifteen team right now. There's a good chance there'll be no one from that team that ends up in the rafters. That that team was thirty eight one, and we might never have one person in the rafters from that team, And if if they do, it's Willy Who's when we talk about that team, probably the most forgotten because people think of the Twins and Carl and even Devin Booker and Ulis and Willie would probably be the one with the best credentials.

00:04:45
Speaker 2: The twenty fifteen team and the ninety eight National Championship team to be.

00:04:49
Speaker 4: Anybody you put up, I mean, I mean who you're putting up from the ninety eight team. I mean Jeff Shephard won the MVP, but he was not even the best player on the team for most of the year, right, So I don't really probably because.

00:05:04
Speaker 5: I was gonna say Turner, I think he's got two rings.

00:05:09
Speaker 4: Turner would probably be the guy. But does it feel like Wayne Turner.

00:05:13
Speaker 2: It doesn't is a Rafters guy.

00:05:17
Speaker 5: If you went there and looked at the rafters, you would real quick because I think a lot of people, but there's.

00:05:20
Speaker 4: A lot of people that shouldn't be up there.

00:05:22
Speaker 5: I would probably include him. Just to have someone from that ninety eight team, I'd probably go Turner. Do you agree with my order of the first people? Yeah, I don't think Oscar and Willy are any debate, though they're high on my list. So when you said it's controversial, I don't think Willie and Oscar it should be any question because.

00:05:38
Speaker 2: So you would go.

00:05:39
Speaker 4: Would you do you agree with my order? Would you go Davis first?

00:05:44
Speaker 5: I feel like there should be someone before Davis, but I can't think of anyone, so I guess.

00:05:47
Speaker 4: I guess so well. I mean, Davis is arguably the first or second best player in the history of the school, so I'm fine putting him.

00:05:53
Speaker 5: I was just working a little more chronologically.

00:05:54
Speaker 4: But if you're doing chronologically, then tay Shan is next. If you're doing chronologically, like if you're doing it, I think Tayshawn is next, then Bogans, then Walden Davis.

00:06:07
Speaker 5: I think part of the problem is that they should have already had a lot of these already up, and now I gotta play a little catch up.

00:06:11
Speaker 4: Because Tahn should already be up, then Bogans, Tayshawn and Bogans. At this point, it's been twenty years since those guys played, and to me, those guys should both be in the rafters.

00:06:22
Speaker 2: It's been forever since they've retired. When with Tony Duke, the last one ten years ago, whatever it.

00:06:26
Speaker 4: Was we just put No, I don't even think it was that long ago. We just did Tony.

00:06:31
Speaker 5: It's been about it was.

00:06:33
Speaker 2: A while ago because we were we did. We were doing the show at a McDonald's, so don't so then why not? So do we all agree? Not worth but chronologically Tayshawn should be next.

00:06:44
Speaker 5: Yes, and should have been done a long time ago. I know they have their rule about Hall of Fame plus x amount of years, but change the damn rule.

00:06:51
Speaker 4: Who cares?

00:06:52
Speaker 5: Do you need to get some names up there that deserve it. It's been too long.

00:06:54
Speaker 2: And they just inducted Bogans into the UK Hall of Fame, so his clerk clock didn't start till late. So those are two guys that probably should have already been done.

00:07:02
Speaker 4: Wait till they're eighty. I mean, put him and George's another thing. We should do it while people who loved and and like watch these guys while they're here to celebrate them. I'm not saying like Tayshaun and Bogan's fans are dying off. I'm in that core group so hopefully not. But but I do think like, do it.

00:07:20
Speaker 5: Like imagine Davis, fresh off of NBA retirement where he's still a superstar coming back. You do it then have a moment. I mean, that's much better than doing it when he's sixty.

00:07:29
Speaker 4: I agree, with you, Like, wouldn't it be awesome to, now that he's retiring, bring John Wall in this, in this It would be a great time, Like he's finishing his career and on his kind of swan song comes in and get his gets it, get it in the rafters. That'd be great. But I don't think you can do Wall until you do Prince and Bogins.

00:07:47
Speaker 2: I know we're doing Patina on But to back up your point, you know, Mike Pratt Melvin Turpin probably should have been retired. They both passed before it ever happened. That that's not right. They should honor these guys a little quicker, a little sooner, while they're still able to appreciate with their family.

00:08:00
Speaker 4: Rex up. There, No, no, And that's a tough one because like, there's a really good argument for Rex. But I actually think Rex's argument is weaker than the four guys we just mentioned. As good as Rex is, and I'm fine with Rex being up. I think Prince Bogan's Wall and Davis actually have a better argument than Rex. I agree, don't you agree?

00:08:22
Speaker 2: Rex has got a good argument, but not better than our top four. And you know they've got that weird rule where you have to be here for four years, and they've they've got to change that.

00:08:29
Speaker 4: They've that's gotta be changed. That's got to be the four years rule has got to be changed, or it just becomes a joke in some ways, like if we don't, if we don't start having Prince and Bogans are probably the last four year guys that will ever go up there? Probably, right, wouldn't you say? Unless they do? And they're the only because even like even like Oscar was a four year guy, but he wasn't four years here. So I don't think. I just you're gonna have to change that rule because that'll then we'll never have any.

00:08:57
Speaker 5: Well, they're already so backed up. I just pull up the list days. This is crazy. It looks like there's been two in twenty five years, Mike Pratt and Tony Dilk For Yeah, I mean they're the we've joked about there's not a Hall of Fame. It's ridiculous, but don't have that. But with all the tradition and players, how have there been two in twenty five years?

00:09:12
Speaker 4: Well, I mean I can tell you exactly what happened, which is why it was awesome to put up the unforgettables. There was a worry by people after seeing Newton that he got caught up in the moment and did it and we they wanted to make sure people didn't get caught up in the moment anymore, which I actually kind of agree with. But I don't think we're getting caught up in the moment to put Tayshaun Prince in twenty five years after he played here, right.

00:09:38
Speaker 2: He's he is in my opinion. Even maybe the next one maybe more soli than anti dad, just because it's been it's been so long.

00:09:45
Speaker 4: Yeah, they five nine, two eighty seven. Who's up next, Miles, Miles, go ahead, Miles.

00:09:53
Speaker 6: I just wanted to miss you. Happy books Day.

00:09:58
Speaker 4: Matt Jones.

00:09:59
Speaker 6: And this is Miles from from Danville.

00:10:05
Speaker 4: Oh hey, Miles, thank you very much. You're you're a wonderful kid, and I look forward to seeing you here again.

00:10:12
Speaker 7: Yes, uh and uh uh.

00:10:17
Speaker 4: Happy booth Day to you, sweet, Happy booth Day to you.

00:10:27
Speaker 6: Happy booth day, dude, that Joe, Happy Boothday to you.

00:10:36
Speaker 4: It's very sweet of yours. Thank you very much. You don't know how much I appreciate that.

00:10:43
Speaker 6: Yeah, and and uh and I often wanted to say that it was good to see Whine yesterday.

00:10:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw Miles yesterday.

00:10:52
Speaker 4: Were you down there? Miles, thank you very much. I appreciate your call. You were down there.

00:10:56
Speaker 2: I was in Danville yesterday and he pulled up on the side of the street and I got to talk to Myles a little bit.

00:11:00
Speaker 4: What are you doing walking the street to Danville.

00:11:02
Speaker 2: Well, you know, we just kind of at Ezechy train. We go, we go to the businesses. So we were doing little sales calling down in Danvill yesterday.

00:11:08
Speaker 4: I saw, by the way, your outfit for that television shoot. You looked very professional. Was a nice slimming shirt and like you were wearing khakis.

00:11:16
Speaker 2: Have my hair all done? I mean I looked looked like a movie star.

00:11:19
Speaker 4: Yeah, that didn't stick out, but I think everything else like I was, I thought you really looked like a guy who could be on television. I think so too.

00:11:26
Speaker 2: I think Hollywood probably calling. Probably got a couple misscalls from already.

00:11:30
Speaker 4: That's very nice of Miles. By the way. Also, a guy came in here a minute ago and gave me a birthday present. This is a nineteen seventy five dan Issel, Kentucky Colonel's car, which was very nice. I said, hey, man, like that might be where some money he goes. I got two and I said, well, okay, so that's cool, isn't it very cool? Look at those socks they used to wear for the colonels.

00:11:54
Speaker 5: We're pretty close to getting back to those shorts, if we're not already there.

00:11:56
Speaker 4: Did Dan Issel? Did he look the same form eighteen into sixty five? He did, because he's like twenty four or twenty five in this picture, and he looks like he could be forty, but then he still kind of looks forty now. So I feel like Dan Issel just kind of did he just come out of the womb being forty?

00:12:15
Speaker 5: Maybe maybe he's stuck on forty just like you.

00:12:20
Speaker 4: I'm not accepting forty.

00:12:22
Speaker 5: Dan did the same thing you did.

00:12:23
Speaker 4: He edited his face for ten. Yeah. Are you saying Dan back in the day?

00:12:30
Speaker 5: You saying Dan when he was when he played Going to City City with the Aba change his age couldn't get it back?

00:12:37
Speaker 4: What happens to everybody? Who's next? Jacob? Jacob? Go ahead, Jacob and Matt and happy birthday, thank you.

00:12:46
Speaker 8: I just wanted to say two things. One I think that about the Kentucky football team. I think that their schedule is gonna reveal really how resilient they are. I think if they come out of the gate hot, get the first three, and then they can endure the month of October with going to South Carolina, you know, having to play Texas, having to played Georgia, they can endure that and then come back into you know, November and be able to kind of start over again and and really get going there. Then I think that they have a real shot at making a bowl.

00:13:27
Speaker 4: Well yeah, I mean you've just given them. You've given if you say, if they win their first three games, I mean they play Old Miss in their second game, if they win the Old Miss game, heck, yeah, my expectations changed. True. They win the Old Miss game, I'm like, yes, We're going to a bowl and watch out people like I mean, I mean, come on, definitely the Old Miss game, sir, If you win that, then then yes, I agree with you. Yeah.

00:13:53
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think I think they have a real shot to do that. You know, I'm I'm giving them a lot of a lot of hope there.

00:13:59
Speaker 4: Check.

00:14:00
Speaker 8: I think that the Summer of Elly may be dead.

00:14:03
Speaker 4: I just didn't Yeah, summer early ended. It ended last night. It ended when Marte bunned. But it got the dirt thrown on its grave last night. You know, it got swept by the Dodgers. The Mets swept the Phillies. That couldn't have gone worse. The Mets won every game by a lot. The Reds were kind of not really in any of those games. And so, yeah, it ended, but it was fun. I enjoyed it. We got to add a hitter. We gotta get Terry Francona to let Ellie Steele and he hadn't hit a home run since like early June, so they gotta They got gotta unleash the beast there, Yeah, for sure.

00:14:41
Speaker 8: But yeah, it was fun, fun, lot lasted, but I think it got us up to football season, So I'm thankful for that.

00:14:46
Speaker 4: All right, Well, I appreciate it, sir eight. I'm nine Oho twenty two eighty seven. Let me let me tell you about corn bread him. They're gonna be our sponsors a Thursday night football starting next Thursday here at ks Bar, and their seltzers are taking over the planet. You can get them at Liquor Barn and all liquor stores.

00:15:03
Speaker 6: Uh.

00:15:03
Speaker 4: The flavors, the taste, the mellowing out. You know, I think they put those out just to see what happens, and they're gonna end up becoming the thing they do the most people. People absolutely love them. Learn more at cornbreadhamp dot com or check your stores today. It's corn bred Hemp, this is the good life. We'll take a break. Right back, it's Tugy Sports Radio. Buck it back, it is Tugy Sports Radio. If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven, text machine is seven seven two seven seven four five two five four one person rights, Matt, what about Rajon Rondo?

00:15:39
Speaker 2: I don't think he's there with our other guys that we've mentioned. I mean, his two years here were okay, not superstar. He became a superstar if he went to the NBA.

00:15:48
Speaker 4: I would agree with that. I don't I don't think. I don't think Rondo's up there. I think you. I think he's been Uh he's a very good it was. It was. He was a very good player at UK. But like just look at the class of dudes he was with with Ramel and Joe. Ramel and Joe have a better case during their time at Kentucky than Rondo does. So like the reason you put Rondo in is for what happened afterwards. That's not the reason Drew that I think you would put put him in.

00:16:16
Speaker 5: Yeah, for the guys that did most of their best basketball in the league, I think you have to be pretty special, like Shay with the MVP or the number one picks Carl Wall.

00:16:26
Speaker 4: But like like a Booker or.

00:16:27
Speaker 5: A Rondo, or guys who are stars but didn't do as much as Uk I don't. I don't think they make the cut.

00:16:32
Speaker 2: And that argument. That's why it's a good argument for Oscar and for Willie. What they did here is up there with some of the greats of all time. Accolades and things that they did here.

00:16:40
Speaker 4: Yeah. One person writes, Matt, I don't. I know, I'm old school, but when somebody who's only been here one year should not be in the rafters, Well, you're gonna have to change your mind on that, yeah, or else we're never gonna have We're never gonna have anybody up there unless you Unless you change your mind on that.

00:16:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like you said, you just had that Dan Neissel card. Nobody's ever gonna break that record. Because a good players will never be here that long to even attempt to get close to that record.

00:17:03
Speaker 4: Yeah. That that's uh, that's that. That's my view on it. And I don't I kind of don't understand how folks can think think otherwise.

00:17:10
Speaker 5: Well, any in this world, if anyone's good enough to be up there in the season, they're not gonna stay right. So it just we'll just leave it as is. Don't do anything. We're never gonna have a four year player that's that spectacular. Those go to the league.

00:17:21
Speaker 4: Yeah, if I'm nine to two h h. Twenty two eighty seven, who's up next?

00:17:26
Speaker 3: Free bird?

00:17:29
Speaker 4: Go ahead, free bird?

00:17:30
Speaker 5: Hey he mean what a great call from Miles.

00:17:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, he almost made me cry a little bit. I met Miles yesterday. This a super super human being. We al should strive to be more like Miles.

00:17:41
Speaker 4: Good Singer too, good Man.

00:17:43
Speaker 2: That kind of my day.

00:17:45
Speaker 4: I got some scoop. Well, let's get about old Jagger.

00:17:51
Speaker 2: Football scoop.

00:17:52
Speaker 6: He's six five three.

00:18:00
Speaker 4: And actually know.

00:18:05
Speaker 9: And uh.

00:18:08
Speaker 4: Is kind of weak on defense and we are going to just tail them.

00:18:13
Speaker 2: Appreciate if you, but thanks for the punk ca. You you're the one to talk about that they should be bigger, better, stronger upfront, and that's where they can dominate this game.

00:18:19
Speaker 5: And first, I don't know how accurate is nine percent body fat is, but if you look at a picture of Jagger last year and this year, there has been.

00:18:27
Speaker 4: He's very obvious.

00:18:28
Speaker 5: He put in the work in the off season. We got to get him snapping the ball well, and he's working on that as much as he should.

00:18:35
Speaker 4: And what have you heard about that?

00:18:36
Speaker 5: Well, someone just called in and said, uh, he had scooped the Jagger has nine percent body fat and that that dude.

00:18:42
Speaker 4: With nine percent body fat might be the biggest person on the planet.

00:18:45
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he heard through Jagger that, uh that they're not they're not. They don't fear Toledo's defense and they plan on pounding it right at him.

00:18:53
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know if we need Jagger out here telling everybody that's their collar.

00:18:56
Speaker 5: I mean, we're getting, we're getting medical records here, we're getting we're getting the game planning and call to day.

00:19:01
Speaker 4: Well good, hey, I'll take it if it ends up being the case. Ay FIP nine two eight zero twenty two eighty seven. Who's up next, Patricia, Patricia?

00:19:09
Speaker 9: Go ahead, Patricia, Hey, Happy birthday, Matt Jones, Thank you very much.

00:19:16
Speaker 7: I have a question.

00:19:17
Speaker 9: I'm a first time caller.

00:19:18
Speaker 4: Who are.

00:19:22
Speaker 9: I've seen on Facebook that the price of the Purdue gate is four hundred and seventy two dollars for nose lead seats.

00:19:31
Speaker 4: I've heard that as well, So I was wanting.

00:19:36
Speaker 9: What I was wondering is I was going we go every year, and I was wondering, take I'm taking my grandson to his birthday. I was just wonder what your dog on the pricess was.

00:19:49
Speaker 4: I think it is indevitable, Ryan, that you're going to be expensive, especially for a game against the number one team.

00:19:56
Speaker 2: I know it's just an exhibition game, but it is perdue. It is the a lot of excited about this upcoming season, upcoming team, so the price is gonna be high. I think all year Drew, Yeah.

00:20:06
Speaker 5: I mean that that was a eye opening on that number, but it doesn't shock me. We've never had a situation like this where you have the national championship favorite as your first opponent, even if the game doesn't matter, you're seeing them in October. That's a pretty unique world we're in.

00:20:19
Speaker 4: I think the combination of it being the first game the combination of it being the first number one team. I think the combination of all that is gonna make it to where you are gonna have it's gonna it's you're gonna have very expensive tickets. That stinks that it's that expensive for people, but I think it's just in evident.

00:20:39
Speaker 9: We're going on November twenty first. I think it's a Liola game.

00:20:44
Speaker 7: Yes, and you think they won't be.

00:20:48
Speaker 4: Much, so they'll be You'll be able to get those fine, Yeah, I mean those won't be too bad. I appreciate the call, But that Perdue game, you know, I mean, how many times is the number one team in America. I know it's an exhibition game, but when when's the last time Purdue has been in Rupperena. I mean, all of those things, Purdue fans are gonna want to come. They're not that far away. I mean, if Kentucky was playing an exhibition game at Purdue, a lot of our fans would try to go to get in there. So they're gonna that game is gonna be even though it's an exhibition. Would not shot me if that's one of the most expensive games in the season. I mean, you're seeing our team for the first time ever with no tune up. I mean, we'll get madness more than that, where it's number one versus our first look at our own players. And you mentioned the Purdue fans, they're coming. They was talking the spring that we might steal their star player and the Kentucky's a curse word there right now. I mean ended up staying home, but there were some buzz that Kentucky was trying to get him. So there's even a little bad blood there, just coming out of the last transfer portal season, So I think it's gonna be a crazy environment in there.

00:21:48
Speaker 2: You know, we saw the UK basketball tickets really became scarce last year. You know, usually last couple years of cow we always had a bunch of tickets to give away. There were a lot of empty seats.

00:21:58
Speaker 4: As last year progressed, they were much There were much fewer tickets to give away last year than there were at other times, and I think that's going to continue to be the case. But I get that there. But she's right, the prices for that Purdue game online are crazy. Now. I think they'll come down Drew, but they're still pretty crazy.

00:22:21
Speaker 5: I mean, if you're a Purdue fan, you're not in the SEC. When do you get to go to a game in Reperina?

00:22:27
Speaker 4: That's true, and if you're up, that's a really good point. If you're a Purdue basketball fan, when are you gonna have the number one team in the country.

00:22:36
Speaker 2: Rarely and it's your first time looking at them?

00:22:41
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a really good point. I mean, you throw all that together, you could see how it would end up being being what it what it is.

00:22:49
Speaker 5: Think if we had the number one team one year and we opened at a place we never go, like Cameron into her for an exhibition, Kentucky fans would pay god knows what to make that trip, even though it is an exhibition.

00:22:58
Speaker 4: And Purdue we they never get talked about as the best fan bases, but they're they have a rabid group. They're loyal. That year that I worked for CBS and I had to cover the Big Ten, which was brutal that year, I went to like six per New games and they get a loud arena that gets people into it. A five, nine, two, eight, oh, twenty two eighty seven. We'll take a break right back. It's KSR. TJ. Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ.

Uh, folks eating the burgers. You like the new burger there. It seems to get good reviews with the seared and all that.

00:23:49
Speaker 2: People ask me, what's the best thing we've added. I say, those tater kegs and the smash burgers. Those are two best things we've added.

00:23:55
Speaker 4: They smashed them smashed burgers. Yes, I didn't know what that meant. I always hear people talk about it. Know what a meant?

00:24:00
Speaker 5: I'll make them at home. You can really get that elbow in there and smash it, you elbow it. Oh yeah, I got my own smasher and you get it real flat. Throw some onions on there, let them cook with it. Okay, get that gristle, gristle grease you like gristle?

00:24:13
Speaker 4: Yeah? Good stuff? All right? Uh? Ryan, do you know what burning man is?

00:24:18
Speaker 2: Burning man?

00:24:19
Speaker 4: Anybody here know what burning man?

00:24:20
Speaker 5: I was at the Sacramento, California, airport this weekend it was all burning Man.

00:24:24
Speaker 4: So Burning Man is like this thing where like I don't want to say hippies, although because some of them end up being really rich people. It started as hippies. I think it was hippies. Let's go out in the desert, let's listen to music, Let's have our little hippie commune. And then, like everything in the world, it kind of got corporatized. And now people pull up these crazy tints and they'll have you know, it can actually get really rich, and like there's just a lot of stuff going on. But it's in the desert, so sometimes things happen and they get there and all of a sudden, the windstorm hits the desert. I don't know if you've seen the video, but there are like everybody just gets pelted with with with sand and with dirt and they're they've just got stuff everywhere and falling on everybody. Yeah, and it looks me he's a rebule. I have friends that have gone and go. I have friends that go regularly. You don't get cell service there. You have some places there's Wi Fi, but you kind of go off the grid. But if you watch the videos, it looks like the most miserable place on earth. Have you seen any of it?

00:25:31
Speaker 2: Yeah?

00:25:31
Speaker 5: And I mean where I just was, it was like burning man people all around us, and they're they're a different breed. They're they're out there to do whatever they do out and they do a lot of them do drugs. One of their domes, I don't think we say the name on radio, but it collapsed, but there's.

00:25:45
Speaker 4: A yeah, they have they but they build for like a month, like three weeks or whatever, communities and then the wind knocked them all down. And it just Shannon, it feels like of all of us, you'd be the person most likely to do that. Does it look like something appealing to you?

00:26:02
Speaker 3: Maybe like one time, but not every year? I love music festivals. That's even extreme for me, So is it really? I would do it maybe one time, just to experience it and then probably never do it again.

00:26:12
Speaker 5: Yeah, i'd go, you'd go. I'll do just about anything once.

00:26:17
Speaker 3: I'll do it one time, but don't ask me to go again with you next year.

00:26:20
Speaker 4: My problem with doing anything like that, any sort of camping, any sort of is that like I need to take a shower, and it doesn't look like there's anywhere to take a shower there, and I don't know that you can. I mean, there's somebody's.

00:26:31
Speaker 3: Apple don't value showers, but I do.

00:26:34
Speaker 6: I do.

00:26:34
Speaker 4: I need. I'm gonna need to clean myself if I'm out in the dust of the lake. But these are look at the videos, Ryan, I think you would hate it more than anyone there.

00:26:44
Speaker 2: I have abolutely zero interest to participate in anything like that. I give mean, these people build these things, they're hoping that a sandstorm comes on and they all get covered in sand and get dirt.

00:26:52
Speaker 4: They're not hoping, I mean, but actually rather or not. I think they're very much not hoping that it happens. But it does happen and then they have to deal with it. But no, I would not argue that they are hoping that it happened.

00:27:04
Speaker 2: I'm a hard pass.

00:29:23
Speaker 4: Thirty six point and a half. I feel like they'll get it. And then Miami of Ohio and Wisconsin Wisconsin, Wisconsin.

Speaker 4: We'll go along with that.

00:30:34
Speaker 3: Give me Nebraska to win big.

00:30:37
Speaker 4: I don't know if you all saw. They're playing this game in Kansas City, and I don't know what happened. They painted the Cincinnati sidelines and it looks really good. They painted their colors and then it looks like the Nebraska sidelines was painted by a third grader with stencils. It looks awful. That's a bad sign. Cincinnati pulls the upset based on the ice even paint job in the in the end zone, I'm gonna say Cincinnati. Uh makes the Huskers cry unbelievable.

00:31:08
Speaker 2: I don't really know why they're playing this in Narrowhead Stadium, but uh, in Nebraska, expect to have a big season.

That was back you know, twoenty eleven, twelve thirteen. But he would call. He was in better health then and he would yell and scream and it was it was quite entertaining. So it's nice to hear him still doing well. It's like hearing from a ghost that's been There are people like the truth that sometimes I sit and think, like I hope he's still doing well or alive, because like I don't know that I would have heard.

Speaker 5: Yeah, Tony, there was a Tony.

00:37:19

00:37:21
Speaker 5: I could tell I was a young man growing up learning about the world.

Speaker 4: You were like them?

00:37:26

Speaker 4: Weston, go ahead, Weston. Happy birthday, mate, Thank you?

00:37:54
Speaker 7: Could y'all ever say Willie Cauley Stein Jersey.

00:37:58
Speaker 4: Retired appreciate the call? Yes, I could. I think they He's got a long way away, as we talked about earlier, but yes, I could. What do you Some people brought up Chuck Hayes.

00:38:13
Speaker 2: He's not in the conversation with these other guys, I really, I mean, I love Chuck Hay's but he's not near conversation with Willy Even and Oscar Even.

00:38:22
Speaker 4: Now well, no, I mean to get to Chuck Hayes, you'd have to go through all of all those other people first to get there.

00:38:29
Speaker 2: I think I said that, Like we talked about, the dilemma is what do you do with the ninety six team and the ninety eight team the twenty fifteen team. There's got to be some representation.

00:38:36
Speaker 4: I think, why don't split this the team up there?

00:38:39
Speaker 6: Why not?

00:38:39
Speaker 4: I mean just say like the twenty uh you know, the ninety eight team is up the ninety six team is up there, Redan because there's a difference between individual and team awards, and I don't know that you have to have a particular team in order to do that, or a particular player from a team in order.

00:38:56
Speaker 5: To already have the title banners. So that kind of covers that. Wanna just yeah, been too bad.

00:39:01
Speaker 4: So that's why I just think this is an individual award. You know another guy name that just didn't get mentioned at all that probably should get mentioned as Jody Meeks. True, I mean he holds the scoring like I don't know how I did not mention him, but he probably should be mentioned.

00:39:19
Speaker 2: You kind of forget him and you know, go straight from the tubby guys to the cow guys. He kind of gets, I'll give you one.

00:39:26
Speaker 8: What do you do?

00:39:27
Speaker 5: Is Aaron Harrison up there? I mean no, no, but there's not gonna be a tournament run like that.

00:39:31
Speaker 4: No, there's not. But he's not. He's not up there, but but he if they finished the job, he would probably have to be up there. But that's an interesting question. If they had finished the job, when you make all those shots, I mean, I don't know. It's Keith Smart up in Indiana.

00:39:46
Speaker 5: They should name the building after him, after him in Indiana.

00:39:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's interesting. I would not think that you would do that, But that is that is put him.

00:39:54
Speaker 5: Above Chuck though, even though Chuck's probably a little more beloved. That run will never be matched.

00:39:58
Speaker 4: Yeah, who's next? Oh Joe, go ahead, Joe.

00:40:03
Speaker 7: Hey, Happy birthday, Met Jones. I was passing the stadiums last night and saw people filing in.

00:40:09
Speaker 8: Didn't know what event.

00:40:10
Speaker 7: It was like tailgate looked like forty to fifty white dudes older than us. In black t shirts, so I figured I took a guess. It turns out it his nine inch nails. So question for the forum, did you know they were still touring? How many how many songs of theirs can you name? And do you think that modern day rock stars have learned about pre nups and how they work, so you don't have to be touring when you're sixty seventy eighty.

00:40:37
Speaker 4: Yeah, I appreciate the call shit and that's you. That's a you question.

00:40:40
Speaker 3: I knew they were still a touring and they played it louder than life just a couple of years ago. But yeah, a lot of these bands they just I don't know if they have to do it financially or they just that's all they know, so they continue to do it.

00:40:50
Speaker 4: I think some people live off the entertainment, right or like they want like some people can't. You can't give that that juice up, and some people just Now, you get into music because you like to play music and you want to keep playing music, right that, Or.

00:41:03
Speaker 5: You've always lived on the road, you can't just sit at home because all you've ever known is getting.

00:41:07
Speaker 4: Up and going Yeah, that's it.

00:41:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you were doing that, all the way back in your you know, early twenties.

00:41:12
Speaker 4: What else are you gonna do?

00:41:12
Speaker 3: What else are you gonna do?

00:41:13
Speaker 2: That's all?

00:41:13
Speaker 4: You know, You're gonna plant flowers. I mean there comes a point that, like you got, you got a lot of people want to do what they want to.

00:41:19
Speaker 2: Do, and obviously it works. I mean we we went to see you know, def Leopard, one of my childhood groups. They were old guys out there, but I still I still wanted to see him perform. So it's obviously people still there's an audience for that.

00:41:30
Speaker 4: Yes, uh, eight from nine two eighth, twenty two eighty seven. So let's go over the next the next few hours. I do think by the way, they might announce the NFL might announce our our our podcast here later today. If they do, uh, do me a favor and be really excited and subscribe to it. Don't do it yet though, wait because like I wasn't probably supposed to say that sentence, but you know what, you guys have followed us all the way through it. So that's uh, that's it. Uh Saturday, of course, the game starts at nun or twelve forty five. We will be on at eight thirty am and then Drew and I. I think schedule is still up in the air, but I think we're gonna do a version of It's the News today as well. So a lot of stuff going on. It has been a hectic, hectic week with the opening of the restaurant and the ESPN and all this stuff. But thank everybody.
