Speaker 3: Welcome to Hour two of Kentucky Sports Radio, present it by Stockton Mortgage.

00:01:04
Speaker 4: Now here's Matt Jones welcome back.

00:01:06
Speaker 5: I remember two Tucky Sports Radio eighty two eighty seven. Text machine is seven seven two seven seven four five two five four Matt, Ryan and Shannon. People writing in for Ask Anything Wednesday. One person says, Matt, don't you think the stoop spiral started with the pony up comment? That was a big one. I don't think it was the biggest, but it was. It was a big thing added to it, didn't it was big for me. I'll be honest with you. I thought that was a pretty pretty poor remark. That was like three years ago, though, I mean it's it's been a little while since he did it. One person writes, Matt, I ask you this every Ask Anything Wednesday. You've never answered. I'm gonna keep asking it until you do. Who's smarter, Ryan Lemon or Donald Trump?

00:01:53
Speaker 2: Pretty close race? Pretty close race.

00:01:59
Speaker 5: Okay, So I I have to like take away the question of like marketing ability, because I do think Donald Trump is one of the best marketers of all time, going back to the eighties. He marketed his name as a luxury like he markets his name right and has done an amazing job. And the reason he is president is he is a very good market marketer.

00:02:24
Speaker 4: He's far more consistent than Ryan, consistently inconsistent.

00:02:31
Speaker 5: So if you include marketing, then I'm I'm saying Trump because he does that one thing better than anything Ryan. That's true, Yes, But if you take out marketing and just did a who knows more.

00:02:46
Speaker 4: Info like an IQ test, Well, I.

00:02:49
Speaker 6: Don't know what IQ test measure.

00:02:51
Speaker 5: I've never taken one, but like if you just did a facts test, yeah, I don't know.

00:02:58
Speaker 6: I think it would be pretty close. Shannon, who you got?

00:03:01
Speaker 3: Well, I mean if Ran is smarter than our president, then that means Ryan could be president.

00:03:05
Speaker 6: So oh, I could definitely president, no doubt you. Oh, come on, I mean.

00:03:11
Speaker 4: Trump smarter than than Ryan. Come on, I mean he's smarter than me.

00:03:15
Speaker 2: I have not gone bank.

00:03:17
Speaker 6: First of all, I don't, Shane, and I would.

00:03:19
Speaker 4: He's smarter than I am for sure believe that.

00:03:23
Speaker 5: Well, I don't. Again, we're talking about like as a communicator and as a marketer. But if you're just talking facts, yes, I wouldn't necessarily say that.

00:03:36
Speaker 4: I don't know.

00:03:37
Speaker 5: You have way too high view of his intelligence. Do you ever like listen to him speak?

00:03:43
Speaker 2: Yeah?

00:03:43
Speaker 4: But and then they're reading teleprompters.

00:03:45
Speaker 6: No, not him. You get the unfiltered with him.

00:03:48
Speaker 4: Oh he's unfilm He's like Cutler, He's unfiltered.

00:03:51
Speaker 6: That's exactly right, which is why I worry you're gonna leave me for him.

00:03:56
Speaker 5: So I don't know. I mean, I'm going to say current events. I'll take Trump because he lives it. Yes, History, I'll take Ryan.

00:04:08
Speaker 6: That's what I would say.

00:04:09
Speaker 5: Economics Trump, yes, uh, Sports you okay.

00:04:17
Speaker 6: Culture, neither of you would do great.

00:04:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, national geography.

00:04:28
Speaker 4: National do you know a lot about him?

00:04:31
Speaker 5: Kind of questioning national geography. He's probably been to more places than you. Yeah, So I would say him.

00:04:38
Speaker 2: Golf game him because he cheats.

00:04:41
Speaker 6: He's better than you, though you're awful.

00:04:43
Speaker 2: I've played twice this year, though I'm coming around.

00:04:45
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I think it'd be close. I've actually love it.

00:04:50
Speaker 5: We had a debate, not a debate, because he's a better talk like he'd be better.

00:04:55
Speaker 6: Well, I don't know, I don't know, I don't.

00:04:57
Speaker 4: Know, cannot debate Trump. Trump would slaughter him in a debate.

00:05:02
Speaker 5: But Trump doesn't know anything either.

00:05:04
Speaker 6: Ryan knows less.

00:05:05
Speaker 5: Like he would beat you in a debate because he would just call you names and you would get under the table.

00:05:11
Speaker 2: Fair point.

00:05:12
Speaker 6: No, I mean that would happen.

00:05:15
Speaker 5: Trump would be very hard to debate because Shane Gillis does a whole bit about this about when he debated ram Paul, because ram Paul would get up and go, you know, was the economy does this in the free market and brubber blah blah blah, and then Trump.

00:05:28
Speaker 6: Would just go, your hair is terrible.

00:05:32
Speaker 5: Shane Gillis does a whole debate like, what are you supposed to say to that? When would you come back when you have like all these serious points, and then he goes, your hair is terrible.

00:05:39
Speaker 4: Most likable. I mean, that's why a lot of people like him because he totally agree.

00:05:43
Speaker 6: But that's not smart.

00:05:45
Speaker 5: That's that's like impossible in some ways, it's impossible to debate if you just go. If I go, Shannon, I believe that the downfall of the Soviet Union began because they spent way too much money on their a military, and you just go, your pooperhead.

00:06:00
Speaker 2: Gotcha burned.

00:06:02
Speaker 6: There's nothing I can do at that point.

00:06:05
Speaker 2: You know, Well, why we're talking about politics? I guess tonight's the big softball game. Who Republicans versus Democrats like their softball game. Yeah, who you got? What's over I don't know if they.

00:06:15
Speaker 6: I mean, I don't know. I don't know who's good.

00:06:17
Speaker 2: It's Draft Kings doesn't have a U overrunner.

00:06:19
Speaker 5: I would love for Draft Kicks to bet on that minus one thirty five.

00:06:23
Speaker 4: I say it on television playing each other in softball.

00:06:27
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, but one of those things that happens. Okay.

00:06:30
Speaker 5: True A little behind the scenes stories. In twenty sixteen, when I was considering run for the house and I went up there and I met with all the Democrats, I met with this guy whose last name I think was Jefferson. It's like an African American guy from Louisiana, Okay, And as he sat down, he was like, listen, got a question for you.

00:06:48
Speaker 6: This is my only question for you. Are you good at baseball?

00:06:54
Speaker 5: Because back then it was a baseball game, it was okay, is it not a baseball game now?

00:06:58
Speaker 6: I don't know.

00:06:58
Speaker 2: I thought it was softball.

00:07:00
Speaker 5: Well, back then I think it was a baseball He goes, are you good at baseball? And I was like, eh, because if you're good at baseball, I want you to run. We need a couple of ringers. So if you're not good don't don't run, And that was the conversation because he was the captain of the baseball team and Democrats, Well.

00:07:15
Speaker 2: You're a big, tall guy.

00:07:16
Speaker 6: He thought you were first was the sports radio guys.

00:07:18
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like, well, of course you're good at baseball, but I never really played baseball.

00:07:21
Speaker 4: Did you tell a pitcher one time and gave up a home run to Ryan Lemon?

00:07:25
Speaker 5: That's true, wool Adam, go ahead, Adham and.

00:07:31
Speaker 7: Matt, you were talking about rule changes coming to college basketball, and I wanted to give you the scenario and how would you fix it. So Kentucky basketball, they have a a they're in transition. They have a layup that is a clear goaltending, but the officials missed the call. The opponent gets the ball, comes down and hits up three. They go back to the monitor at the next break, they say it was a goaltend. So they give Kentucky two points, but the result of the whole transaction was minus one for Kentucky. How do you fix that?

00:08:04
Speaker 5: I do think you can. I think so I'm going to talk about the new rules in a little bit. Let me save that part of it, because the new rules I do think are important but I don't know how you fix it the goaltend allowing them to go back and fin it and fix goaltending way after it happens.

00:08:17
Speaker 6: I think it's a mistake.

00:08:18
Speaker 2: It is a mistake.

00:08:19
Speaker 6: I g it's a mistake.

00:08:21
Speaker 5: I think you uh, I just it leads to terrible results. And when they would call goaltending when it wasn't and then like, had you not called it, we'd have had a layup, but instead it's a jump ball.

00:08:35
Speaker 6: I hate it. I hate that stuff. They decide.

00:08:38
Speaker 5: The decision to go back on goaltending was a mistake in my opinion, because of what the callers called. It's the flow of the game. You screw it up. My mom picks you by the way and says, when it comes to decency and being a good person.

00:08:51
Speaker 6: Ryan is the best.

00:08:52
Speaker 2: That Trump's Trump.

00:08:54
Speaker 6: That doesn't necessarily mean Shannon, she thinks he would win. Yeah, that doesn't have anything decent And.

00:09:02
Speaker 5: I got this person, Oh sorry, she thought you would be better at the that too. Really, Look, my mom is your biggest fight. We're tight, No, No, I mean my mom gets very mad when I.

00:09:14
Speaker 6: Give you more time.

00:09:16
Speaker 2: It's on fun, mama, I.

00:09:17
Speaker 6: Mean mostly, but some of it is awesome.

00:09:20
Speaker 4: It's a daily occurrence.

00:09:22
Speaker 6: Yes, Mark Anthony, go ahead, and Mark.

00:09:23
Speaker 8: Anthy hey, Matt Ryan Shannon, Hey, you know, man, there's a difference between disappointment and heartbreak, and had events gone to most anywhere else, had been a disappointment, but he has broke my heart by going a little I just it's it's hard to get over. And my question is do you have any idea why it is that Ohio was taken from him as his recruiting terricory.

00:09:49
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know.

00:09:50
Speaker 5: First of all, I mean, the only person that has said that that I have heard, as I appreciate the call, is your boy, Michael Bennett is the only person I've heard say.

00:09:59
Speaker 4: That he has sought to him. So I don't know if.

00:10:03
Speaker 5: That's Michael Bennett's also said some things that ended up. Yeah, he also said he was dead and then he was back to life, which I'm not mocking, but that does give you a little hurt to your credibility a little bit.

00:10:18
Speaker 6: But yeah, I don't know.

00:10:21
Speaker 5: I don't know if they did that, that's a huge surprise because that would be the thing he was the strongest at, right, But again, I think we're guessing at this point, we have to wait to see what Mark and Vince saying. They might say two completely different things, right.

00:10:33
Speaker 2: If they're gonna, yeah, will they be honest about something like that, you know, going back to curtain and getting into the weeds about that kind of thing.

00:10:40
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know.

00:10:41
Speaker 4: Come students to see if he wants to come on the show.

00:10:47
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, but like, well, first of all, he needs to do that.

00:10:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he won't do it till there's an official announcement made.

00:10:54
Speaker 6: Yeah.

00:10:54
Speaker 5: I don't think he can. I mean, like he hasn't resigned yet.

00:10:57
Speaker 6: So what's Vince? What's smart gonna say right now? Technical?

00:11:00
Speaker 2: He still works, it still works for UK, should be out recruiting today.

00:11:04
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know. I have a feeling. I have a feeling it will kill a little nasty. I mean, neither of those two are known to not throw jabs.

00:11:14
Speaker 6: Yeah, we'll see.

00:11:18
Speaker 5: Yeah, But so far, no one's made a public statement except except Vince replying to Nick Rausch.

00:11:25
Speaker 2: Is this just a sign of respect? They don't want to come out of a statement against the.

00:11:31
Speaker 6: This is what I keep saying.

00:11:33
Speaker 5: This is what I used to say to col not talking is not an option because y'all are gonna have to do press conferences like you're gonna get asked about this stuff. The question is just when do you want to answer it? You want to answer it now or do you want to answer it a month from now and then in that.

00:11:49
Speaker 6: Month have people filling the void with their opinions.

00:11:52
Speaker 2: So we'll get a statement Friday at twelve o five after our show on Friday.

00:11:55
Speaker 5: I mean, I didn't realize Mark Stoops did a radio interview yesterday morning.

00:11:59
Speaker 6: Oh he did, and a the host didn't ask him about this?

00:12:03
Speaker 4: What did they talking about?

00:12:05
Speaker 5: I mean, how do you bring Mark Stoops on the morning after it was serious on SEC radio? How do you bring Mark Stoops on the day after Vince leaves and not ask.

00:12:16
Speaker 2: You think they told the guy you can't ask Stoops about Well.

00:12:19
Speaker 5: Then you say I'm not bringing you on. I've done that. I've done that multiple times with Cal and Stoops. I asked them to come on. They said I can't talk about this right now, and I said, well then I can't have you on.

00:12:33
Speaker 6: You can't bring somebody on and not ask them.

00:12:35
Speaker 5: That question, especially not yesterday, right. So I mean, but anyway, I guess one of the things Mark said is I don't want to make any headlines. I mean, once you start saying that, Mark, what do you you don't want to make any.

00:12:48
Speaker 6: You're the coach at Kentucky. You don't have a choice but to make headlines.

00:12:53
Speaker 5: The Herald Leader right now is only food, restaurant stories and UK sports.

00:12:58
Speaker 6: That's it.

00:13:00
Speaker 2: He Coach Dukes has said several times he doesn't want to make headlines. He doesn't want to say something.

00:13:04
Speaker 5: Are we gonna make headlines? And when you go Stoops's best quality, it's just his sort of swash buckler bring.

00:13:11
Speaker 6: It here we go guy?

00:13:13
Speaker 9: Right.

00:13:13
Speaker 5: Yeah, if you take that away and try to be a robot, you take away what is the person's That's what I hate when politicians do that. They have these big personalities and then they get on there and they go back to Trump. That's what he's good at. He's always himself. Bernie's good at that, He's always himself.

00:13:34
Speaker 6: Be yourself.

00:13:35
Speaker 5: Stoops needs to be himself and the idea of I don't want to make headlines is a terrible way to be, isn't it.

00:13:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, when he comes on here, he's usually himself. More so than that he's standing behind a podium in a news conference situation.

00:13:47
Speaker 5: Yeah, but he wasn't as much the last time he was here. He wasn't because he's like, I don't want.

00:13:51
Speaker 6: To make a headline. Yeah, make a headline. That's what you're here for.

00:13:54
Speaker 2: You're a leader. We kind of need that right now.

00:16:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, what a battle battle of the wits championship belt at stake.

00:16:23
Speaker 6: I would pay to watch that on television.

00:16:25
Speaker 5: I would say, I'm not saying the Reds are the best teams.

00:16:29
Speaker 2: Oh, here we go. In baseball, you just said the other day you've given up on them.

00:16:35
Speaker 5: That was last week, but they're back now. They're gonna lose today. If you want to make a DraftKings, bet they're gonna they play at one o'clock. They're gonna lose today.

00:16:43
Speaker 2: Is at a bullpen game or something.

00:16:45
Speaker 6: Well, No, it's just I you know, sometime sometimes I feel it.

00:16:47
Speaker 2: Huh.

00:16:48
Speaker 5: They've won five in a row. Can I give you two stats that are impressive.

00:16:52
Speaker 4: Shannon, Oh, I love to hear a red stack.

00:16:54
Speaker 5: They've won, They've won three. They've won five in a row three times this year. The Reds, the Reds, and there are only three teams in baseball who haven't been swept in a series.

00:17:03
Speaker 6: Yet this year Shannon against.

00:17:05
Speaker 5: Oh, the Dodgers es team in baseball, the Yankees.

00:17:09
Speaker 4: I'm guessing the Reds and the red They've never been swept.

00:17:12
Speaker 6: Haven't been swept yet.

00:17:13
Speaker 4: Wow.

00:17:14
Speaker 2: They've swept a few teams, but never been swept.

00:17:16
Speaker 6: Haven't been swept.

00:17:17
Speaker 5: So they won the Ohio Cup for the first time since twenty nineteen, which Shannon, I didn't know was a thing.

00:17:24
Speaker 6: There was an Ohio Cup. No where they played Cleveland and whoever wins gets a cup.

00:17:28
Speaker 3: Wow, that has to be a recent thing. For the longest time, they didn't do interleague pull.

00:17:31
Speaker 5: Attack, they didn't play so but it starts starting to get excited, like Terry Francona starting to play the right lineups. Andrew Abbitt threw one hundred and ten pitches last night, complete game shutout.

00:17:41
Speaker 2: That never happens anymore.

00:17:42
Speaker 5: Never what you think you guys appreciate big good plays. What about that Freiley catch, Dude, that's one of the best catches I've ever seen.

00:17:48
Speaker 2: Awesome, awesome. He was the pregame interview guy to talk about his daughter that has cancer. You can't help, but like the guy. Then he goes out and makes this great play.

00:17:56
Speaker 6: Lift cat, Shannon, I did. Yes, that's a heck of a cat.

00:17:59
Speaker 3: That is great catch. Not the best catch this year at the Oakland Athletics catch I had.

00:18:06
Speaker 2: So when did the Red start playing the Yankees and these tough series.

00:18:09
Speaker 5: It's well, they played the Tigers this weekend and they're the best team in baseball huh, which people don't realize, but the Tigers. So they played him this weekend. This week they play the Yankees in about ten days. I'm selling my tickets they play uh, San Diego. If they start playing.

00:18:22
Speaker 2: Good teams, good team's coming though.

00:18:24
Speaker 5: Well Cleveland was decent, but we beating them five street. Now next week they might be going again.

00:18:31
Speaker 2: But right now, for today, you're back on board.

00:18:34
Speaker 6: Free bird, go ahead, free bird.

00:18:37
Speaker 10: Hey, guys, what was up at your studio was yesterday. Man, you all got a very very nice setup there. Uh Larrio and Rachel got got me a security clearance, and I like Ryan's conspiracy theory, and I got another one for you. Uh Stoops has gone after this year and he's going to go to Louisville to be the defensive coordinator.

00:19:00
Speaker 5: That would be the wow. I appreciate it. I appreciate the call. I think if Stoops, when Stoops leaves here, I think he will retire. I mean he's gonna have enough money to do whatever he wants.

00:19:10
Speaker 2: And he's got a very successful bourbon business going right now. He can retire and still live a very very comfortable life.

00:19:17
Speaker 6: Yeah.

00:19:18
Speaker 5: If if I made you bet is he the coach next year or not? Year after this? Made you bet yes or no, what would you say?

00:19:28
Speaker 2: I'd probably say no.

00:19:29
Speaker 6: You would say no, Yeah, you put your money on no.

00:19:32
Speaker 2: I would you know the fact that he was sniffing with Texas A and M just two years ago. The bad year last year. I think they're gonna have a bad year this year. I would say, man, I get fired. I think he may step away voluntarily. But just I say no, don't be the.

00:19:44
Speaker 4: Coach, Shannan, I think he will be back at least one more year.

00:19:48
Speaker 6: No, I mean after this one, that's right, Yeah, after this year?

00:19:51
Speaker 3: Okay, so yeah, I'll say I'll say he's back for another year.

00:19:54
Speaker 6: So you think it's at least I think?

00:19:56
Speaker 4: I think is there another two or three years?

00:19:58
Speaker 6: Okay?

00:19:58
Speaker 4: What do you think?

00:20:02
Speaker 6: You made me bad?

00:20:04
Speaker 5: I would say no, yeah. I think it's gonna be a tough year. I think we're not going to do well, and I think this fan base is gonna be hm rough.

00:20:15
Speaker 2: It was the water was starting to get hot last year. After last season, you can't win an SEC game at home?

00:20:20
Speaker 6: Is that a phrase? The water was getting hot?

00:20:23
Speaker 2: You know, the boiling water.

00:20:24
Speaker 6: But isn't it the seat?

00:20:26
Speaker 2: Well, it could be water too.

00:20:29
Speaker 6: Hot? Do you I could be wrong, Shan. You ever heard the phrase the water is getting hot?

00:20:35
Speaker 4: No, no, seats getting hot?

00:20:38
Speaker 2: Maybe we should start using it.

00:20:40
Speaker 6: I don't know if that's a phrase.

00:20:41
Speaker 4: Boiling water?

00:20:42
Speaker 6: It is today?

00:20:43
Speaker 5: So you have right now you have Mark Pope just sitting into Mark excuse me, Mark Stoops sitting in a tub of water and.

00:20:51
Speaker 2: The water it's hot. Yeah, the water's getting hot.

00:20:55
Speaker 6: But he's all, he's in the hall.

00:20:56
Speaker 4: Get out of the water to be cooked, is what you're saying.

00:21:00
Speaker 5: Yeah, the skin is pruning. Yeah, okay, all right, David, go ahead, David.

00:21:08
Speaker 11: Yes, just tuned into the second half of your show. But how good would my how Holly would you rank this incoming basketball? Incoming in this year? And then the second question.

00:21:24
Speaker 5: Like a preseason basketball? Okay, yeah, go ahead? What' you're saying?

00:21:27
Speaker 9: All right?

00:21:27
Speaker 11: With the transfer in the second question, I know absolutely nothing about law of politics, but with with Trump being in this current office position, how is it not considered some type of conflict of interest with all his business?

00:21:41
Speaker 6: And I don't like to get into I appreciate call.

00:21:44
Speaker 5: I don't want to get into the second one because then it'll just become a political show. I talk about some of that stuff on my Thursday Matt Jones Show of Night and podcast. So I I'll put that one off on the first one. I think Kentucky, if I'm going to put them in a preseason poll, fifth, fourth, sixth, something like that, I think you look at it produced got more coming back Houston, maybe floor, but I think you're you get in that next range of teams that on paper look good and you just have to see what happens. I think Kentucky's on that list. So if I were again, I don't claim to know every team's roster up and down, but I would say fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, that's where I would put Kentucky pre.

00:22:34
Speaker 2: Seas same top eight. I think they're definitely an elite eight level type team coming in may play better than that, but as of right now, preseason, I'm going, yeah, top eight.

00:22:43
Speaker 5: It's just so much is gonna come down to how good is uh, how good.

00:22:50
Speaker 6: Is Jalen Lowe.

00:22:52
Speaker 5: Jalen Low's elite, then we got a shot at winning the whole thing. If he's not, then I think it's gonna be a team a little better than last year, but a similar kind of inconsistency. But you give me an elite Jalen Lowe and then bring on anybody.

00:23:10
Speaker 2: An elite Jalen Lowe, and if one of these guys becomes a knockdown shooter.

00:23:13
Speaker 5: But I feel like amongst all these guys, we'll get the other stuff. Yeah, I think so somebody will end up good, yep, but Jalen Lowe kind of has to be good.

00:23:23
Speaker 6: We'll be right back TJ. Smith, personal injury attorney, called TJ. He'll make them pay.

00:23:29
Speaker 3: Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio present it by Stockton Mortgage.

00:23:32
Speaker 4: Here's Matt Jones.

00:23:34
Speaker 6: So you're probably trying to say Ryan that he was in hot water.

00:23:37
Speaker 2: Yes, hot water, the water's getting hot.

00:23:40
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's not exactly how you say it, but that's probably where your mind was. We have some people on the text machine who translate Ryan to.

00:23:47
Speaker 6: English pretty well.

00:23:49
Speaker 5: It's good like they hear a Ryan phrase and they're able to tell me, I think this is what he means.

00:23:54
Speaker 4: That makes sense, he's in hot water. I've definitely heard that.

00:23:56
Speaker 2: One.

00:23:57
Speaker 5: One person writes, Matt, shut up about the Reds and act like they're good. They're in fourth place in the NL Central. Well, I think you're in fourth place in the NLS, fourth out of five teams. I believe that's okay though, because they don't in the NL Central. They just have to get to the wildcard for three and a half back from the wildcard and we're not even halfway through the season.

00:24:19
Speaker 2: But you got the tough, tough series coming up.

00:24:21
Speaker 5: Yeah, but we're starting we're starting to hit, we're starting to sluck.

00:24:25
Speaker 2: We'll see how you feel next week after Tigers.

00:24:27
Speaker 5: I still understand why Matt McLean's the worst player he shouldn't be staying.

00:24:31
Speaker 6: Why is he the worst place he shouldn't be?

00:24:33
Speaker 5: He he was so good, yes, and he just he hits like one eighty.

00:24:38
Speaker 2: Just not working for him this year for summer.

00:24:40
Speaker 5: Have you ever had a player in a sport that objectively you know isn't good, but you still love because the Reds have.

00:24:46
Speaker 6: One of those guys.

00:24:46
Speaker 5: For me, Will Benson stinks, but I still like him and I root for him. I think I for something about left handed baseball players.

00:24:55
Speaker 2: Your swing is awful, sweet, don't you think?

00:24:57
Speaker 6: Well, I don't know why it is, but left handed baseball.

00:25:00
Speaker 2: Players sweet swing. It's just something about I'm.

00:25:03
Speaker 5: Back to Griffy. Yeah, you know, there's just something about the lefties. And so that's part of why I like Ellie. I like Ellie from the left. Will Benson? Did you ever have a guy like that, Shannon?

00:25:12
Speaker 6: That's not what?

00:25:13
Speaker 5: Has there been a Kentucky player like objectively wasn't very good, but you liked him more than how good he was.

00:25:19
Speaker 3: Jered Prickett had a great freshman year, but after that he was just frustrating one like Jared Prickett.

00:25:24
Speaker 6: Mine was Razor Ramone Harris.

00:25:27
Speaker 5: Yeah, not particularly good, but I would I'd go to bat for Razor Ramone Harris.

00:25:32
Speaker 6: What about you? You got one?

00:25:34
Speaker 2: No, those are two really good ones.

00:25:36
Speaker 5: Just somebody that you know you liked them a lot more than they were good. Text machine maybe you all have one seven seven four five two five four. Have you seen the videos of Deamarcus?

00:25:47
Speaker 2: Yes, I did, I did.

00:25:50
Speaker 4: WHOA, it's done for the season.

00:25:52
Speaker 2: Done the season?

00:25:54
Speaker 6: Where is he in Puerto Rico?

00:25:55
Speaker 2: Puerto Rico?

00:25:56
Speaker 5: Well, I will tell you this, that dude. So there's two video. So there's one of him like being ejected and being held on the ground. That's amazing they were to hold him down. But the one I can't believe is the other one where he confronts the guy in the crowd, Shannon. I cannot believe that guy had the audacity to think, I would you look at DeMarcus Cousins.

00:26:20
Speaker 6: And do what that guy did.

00:26:21
Speaker 4: No, he was right there in the front, I mean right there.

00:26:24
Speaker 6: On the floor.

00:26:24
Speaker 5: Security may get him at some point, but you're gonna get destroyed him before that. People have a lot of gumption in this world to look at them. I don't even care what he was saying to him. If DeMarcus looked at me like DeMarcus looked at him, I'd run.

00:26:41
Speaker 2: Six eleven dudes staring you down while you're sitting there, get out.

00:26:45
Speaker 5: DeMarcus one time said something to me on Twitter and I was scared. Remember that he when cal left, he said something to me on Twitter and I was like, Okay, do I need security like DeMarcus DeMarcus. I was looking around while I was reading my tweet.

00:27:01
Speaker 6: It's like, are you here.

00:27:02
Speaker 4: He's not a guy you want to mess with.

00:27:04
Speaker 12: Yeah.

00:27:04
Speaker 6: I love the Marcus, but I would not want to mess.

00:27:07
Speaker 2: With especially when he's not mad, right yeah, yeah, no way.

00:27:13
Speaker 6: Well.

00:27:16
Speaker 5: For the year, I love that guy, and it's just I feels like he's been like one step short of what.

00:27:23
Speaker 2: Do you feel like? His temper really hurt him.

00:27:26
Speaker 5: He's get other jobs, got a huge temper, I mean, but he's got a good heart now, he does.

00:27:32
Speaker 4: He does have a good heart.

00:27:35
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've been in his wrath. I was in his wrath when he was here once. There's that video, you remember that picture of him grabbing me around the neck.

00:27:42
Speaker 2: Uh, huh.

00:27:43
Speaker 6: Remember that he did love but I also was a little nervous. He gab me on my neck and goes, don't you have these people call me Carl?

00:27:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was blaming you for that.

00:27:53
Speaker 5: Well he was right too. We were calling him Carl and he had his hand around my neck. There's a picture of it. Somebody took it from behind, and he was like, I love you, bro, but if people start calling me Carl. So I was walking around, don't coln Carr, don't con Carl no Carl.

00:28:09
Speaker 13: So.

00:28:09
Speaker 6: Yeah, I wish him the best.

00:28:10
Speaker 5: He's I think he's a good dude, just got a temper, which happens sometimes.

00:28:14
Speaker 6: Dan, go ahead, Dan.

00:28:16
Speaker 13: Yeah, Hey Natt, Dan from Rocky Mount. I got two things real quick. Main thing in this world, Ryan's got your moral standing. You got good moral standing. The other guy's you're a ten, he's a minus ten. The second thing is if we have a five hundred football team this year and beat Louisville, well all this stuff about Vance be forgotten.

00:28:39
Speaker 5: That's a great point. Yes, if he wins. I said this on kol Kubrick Show this morning. Nice to hear from you, Dan, appreciate the call. If we go six and six, people will forget about Vince, especially if it's six and six and beat Louisville.

00:28:49
Speaker 2: Yep, we'll just two seasons ago.

00:28:51
Speaker 6: That's exactly what happened.

00:28:53
Speaker 2: Five and six, going into the Louisville game. At Louisville heavy underdog, seat was hot for Stoops, he was in that hot water. They won the game, it all disappeared. Same thing would happen this year.

00:29:03
Speaker 5: And we would get to laugh at Vance yep, which I think fans would.

00:29:08
Speaker 6: Would enjoy.

00:29:09
Speaker 5: So, yeah, you're exactly right, it would be that would make it fine. Pharrell, what's up farail or feral? Which one?

00:29:16
Speaker 6: Is it? Far? Far? Okay?

00:29:21
Speaker 14: Yes, I would also say friend of the Show.

00:29:25
Speaker 9: JD.

00:29:25
Speaker 14: Vance is also a smart Republican.

00:29:26
Speaker 6: Y're smart?

00:29:28
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I would former Friend of the Show. But yes, definitely definitely a smart guy. That's true.

00:29:36
Speaker 14: That so maybe played Florida last year and beat them. Miami's walking off to the visitors' locker room and they're taunting the kind of recruits. They walked right by the recruits and there's a lady kind of pushing them away. She was the This might be a moot point now, obviously, but she turned out to be the assistant athletic director in charge of of recruiting. And I always thought that would be perfect fit for Vince Marrow at the school because he's well no.

00:30:07
Speaker 6: I thought that's where he would end up.

00:30:08
Speaker 5: I thought, yeah, I thought at some point he would transition into that role. I did, so that's part of why I was surprised he did this. My thought was at some point he would just move into like an ambassador slash recruiting role at UK and then I guess he's taking a role like that with Louisville.

00:30:26
Speaker 14: Yeah. Yeah, it's a big disappointment it's not here because I always wanted that for him, and that's it's a suck.

00:30:34
Speaker 5: He'll wish I appreciate the call. He'll wish he had, He'll wish he had kept that. I really believe that at some point, first couple of years may go great. And I know he's friends with Jeff Brown. I think that's a big part of it. They played together in the XFL.

00:30:46
Speaker 6: Is that right? Yeah?

00:30:47
Speaker 2: I think so.

00:30:48
Speaker 5: For the Birmingham what sure, no idea renegade. The Barrens was their minor league team. Yes, can anybody name Birmingham's old XFL team where Jeff Brohm and Vince maryl.

00:31:07
Speaker 2: Vinny Gage is a good guess that was one of the nicknames.

00:31:10
Speaker 3: Let's say, Vince, you sure wasn't the Orlando Rage. We're talking about two thousand and one.

00:31:15
Speaker 6: Could have been the Orlando Rage.

00:31:17
Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought that, But Jeff Bron played in Birmingham because he played, he was the MVP of the first year of the XFL.

00:31:23
Speaker 4: Bron wasn't with the Rage at all.

00:31:24
Speaker 6: Ever, I hadn't kept up with the Rages roster over the year.

00:31:29
Speaker 4: You weren't raging the way.

00:31:30
Speaker 6: It was possible that at some point he ended up with the Rage. Yeah, I don't know.

00:31:35
Speaker 3: Vince also played for the Frankfurt Galaxy from ninety seven to ninety eight.

00:31:38
Speaker 4: I don't even know what that is.

00:31:39
Speaker 6: That's in Germany.

00:31:40
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that's the Europe Well, Vince played in Germany.

00:31:45
Speaker 3: So if there were teammates, that would have to be Orlando because that's the only year that Vince played in the XFL.

00:31:49
Speaker 6: Gotcha, Let's go to Nadia. How are you, Nadia.

00:31:54
Speaker 12: Good?

00:36:25
Speaker 5: By the way, I didn't get them. I didn't get to college basketball rules. We'll talk about it tomorrow. Monday night, I do want to tell this. I there was a guy from my fellowship that was in from in from Miami in Louisville for a conference. There was the National Parking Conference, which sounds awful. Did you know Louisville hosted the National Parking Conference?

00:36:48
Speaker 6: No?

00:36:48
Speaker 4: What is that?

00:36:49
Speaker 5: An entire four day conference for people to talk about parking?

00:36:54
Speaker 2: God, that sounds sounds awful.

00:36:57
Speaker 6: What about Louisville hosted it?

00:37:00
Speaker 5: Kentucky welcomed the world's parkers to Louisville. Anyway, we went to dinner Monday night, and I wanted him to see the neighborhood. So he went to the Eagle, which is close to my house. We're eating. You know, I was talking to him. I hadn't seen him, well, I mean, I saw him in Amerstein, but I guess you know, he never been in Kentucky, which I'm telling you about Kentucky.

00:37:18
Speaker 6: He's asked me all these questions.

00:37:19
Speaker 5: All of a sudden, he just looks at me, like out of nowhere and goes, hey, could you drive me back downtown because there's a parking reception tonight. I said sure, so we're walking to my car. We just get up and walked my car. And then I realized, as I'm about to drop him off downtown, what I was gonna say to him is Okay, when I'm in Miami, you pay, yeah.

00:37:41
Speaker 6: And as I'm saying that, I realized I hadn't paid. Oh no, and neither had he. We had just walked out of the restaurant. I don't you know.

00:37:53
Speaker 5: I was so engulfed, like he had just randomly said let's go yeah, and I didn't think pay, and she and I had walked out on this bill. And now I'm starting to panic a little bit because I can see the Facebook Matt Jones.

00:38:10
Speaker 6: Does Matt Jones think he is?

00:38:12
Speaker 5: Matt Jones walks out on the bill because the waiter had already said like, hey, I'm a Louisville fan. Oh, so I'm thinking like, I got to get back to the Eagle, right, but it's about the time they close, you know, so I like jump in the car, try to call nobody answers.
