00:01:00
Speaker 2: So I'm sitting here there, They're replaying the game. I'm just sitting here getting frustrated again. I can't watch it.

00:01:06
Speaker 3: Jackson just missed the three. But Jackson missed the three.

00:01:08
Speaker 2: Terrible, but you know, Butler gave up a lay up, Amari took a bad hook.

00:01:14
Speaker 3: This is the start of the game. I can't I can't watch it.

00:01:15
Speaker 2: I'll get frustrated if I'm nine two eight h twenty two eighty seven. We were talking about the floor, did you what did you think of the floor last night for Georgia.

00:01:23
Speaker 1: Well, we hit it. Us old guys don't like it as much, but there's a ten year old sitting here and he liked it.

00:01:28
Speaker 2: So the ten year old liked it. I thought it looked you said it looked like mop water.

00:01:33
Speaker 4: I don't mind the dog and everything else. I just thought that it's an interesting color choice. It's kind of gray, not gray. I would have done a different color.

00:01:41
Speaker 3: Overall.

00:01:42
Speaker 2: They could save it with that, you know, Shannon, I kind of wonder if if, like last night may have been a night where it sort of, you know, became clear to me that maybe these things are not marketed for me anymore, Like you just have to go because I think that floor was really hideously ugly. And then I turned on the Golf League last night did you all watch any other? Yeah, I mean I thought it was terrible. Like so, I mean, first of all, the arena's cool. Okay, so this is the Golf League with Tiger and Rory knows.

00:02:17
Speaker 3: The arena's cool, Like it seems like a place I'd love to go.

00:02:21
Speaker 2: You hit into the screen and then it tells you where you are on a real green and you really put it and really hit it out of the bunker, like it looked awesome. But watching on TV, I was like, how are people watching this? First of all, I.

00:02:34
Speaker 3: Didn't know what was going on, like they were they were points and all this. I had no idea what was happening.

00:02:39
Speaker 2: But secondly, it's just it's dudes hitting the ball into a screen and and I just found it, Like within ten minutes, I was bored to death. And then I looked online and like there were some like famous people saying it was good. But part of me wonders, are they being paid to say it's good?

00:02:57
Speaker 3: You know?

00:02:57
Speaker 2: I mean they're kind of like some of the barstool people. I sort of wonder, like, oh, they're doing it for Tiger. Yeah, but a whole they did a whole two weeks doing that they're definitely. They're definitely. So that's fine. I mean, look, if you're if you're supposed to promote it, I get it. But I just I just didn't. It's gonna be a bust. Here's the thing. It's gonna be a bus.

00:03:17
Speaker 1: It is.

00:03:18
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a bus Channon. I mean it might be interesting for like a night. Yeah, but like that's the here's the problem with sports when we try to manufacture it. At the end of the day, the reason sports are industry interesting is there's something at steak, right, There's something at stake, whether it's a tournament win or whether it's a game, there's something that like there are steaks. When you're just playing and the New York Red Bulls are playing the Los Angeles Boobers, Like, it's not there. It's not a I mean, who cares, right, Channon, Like, who cares?

00:03:55
Speaker 3: Who win? Do you have?

00:03:56
Speaker 5: First of all?

00:03:57
Speaker 3: Would I would get it? Yeah?

00:03:59
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I didn't realize they were gonna have like an indoor putting green. I thought it was all gonna be on a screen somehow. But it's still I don't think it's gonna last that long. If it felt like it was like Dolf's version of the XFL, Like at one point he got threw down a flag in front of his putt.

00:04:13
Speaker 3: Yeah I didn't know what that meant.

00:04:15
Speaker 2: But who But like, on some level, I do think this is the problem with the with the Live Toward me, all these guys are being paid to be there and the tournaments have no history, So why should I care?

00:04:28
Speaker 3: Who wins?

00:04:29
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter, whereas like for the Masters, it matters because there's history and there's all that.

00:04:35
Speaker 1: That's all. I wondered if they had, like if it was gonna make a bracket format, like you know they they seated it and he individually plays somebody.

00:04:41
Speaker 3: I can see him, but do you care? You don't even know who's on whose team?

00:04:44
Speaker 1: Idea?

00:04:45
Speaker 2: Right Like with the Ryder Cup, the team thing works because it's the USA versus Europe, right Like, It's like, that's why it's important when made up.

00:04:56
Speaker 3: Teams play each other. Why should I care?

00:04:59
Speaker 4: That's gonna be their big problem with sports and sometimes generational, you're born into a fandom. I tried to like to Live. I've watched it for a couple of years now. I still don't even know who the fireballs are why I'm supposed to like the fireballs. Yeah, Like, I just don't think the team thing is gonna work in golf. And I'm one of the few people I didn't get to watch last night. I'm actually excited to go and watch it, but I also realized this it ain't gonna work. I'm very skeptical of just guys hitting a ball in an arena. Do you want to watch Steph Curry just shoot threes in an arena every Tuesday Night Open.

00:05:29
Speaker 3: And SAMI game? No you don't. I mean want the sport as it is there.

00:05:33
Speaker 2: For sports to matter, there have to be steaks, at least to me. Now, I will say this, there are people who get on YouTube and just watch random dudes hit golf shots. You say heat, So maybe that maybe the younger generation doesn't need steaks. They just want and that's fine, Like it doesn't have to be for me. But I was watching the basketball game and I was like, this arena is the ugliest thing I've ever seen. And then I turn on the golf afterwards, and I'm like, I maybe just stuff's just not for me anymore. Drew, like, maybe it's just for for a different generation.

00:06:05
Speaker 4: I just hope that when it fails, they leave it open for all of us to go pay a little bit.

00:06:09
Speaker 3: Now, I would love to go for sure.

00:06:13
Speaker 4: Maybe you're onto something because now kids watch other kids play video games. It's like, why don't you just play it yourself? You know, it's like they like watching other people do.

00:06:21
Speaker 2: But I don't understand that either. I mean again, like you it's you can play a video game. Why am I watching him play a video game? You can go do it, and it's not you don't even have to be good. Like it's not like I can't go play in the NFL, Like I can't go recreate that. But if I'm watching someone play Madden, I can do the exact same thing they're doing, not as well.

00:06:44
Speaker 1: But dude, like I said, I got a seventeen year old. They watch this stuff all the time, and you know, they had the commentary that goes along with it the game, Like they're where they're playing the game, you see them and they're commentating while they're playing the game against somebody, And it's just.

00:06:58
Speaker 3: I don't people like it all right, So Jimmy Carter, of course died.

00:07:02
Speaker 2: So tomorrow is the National Day of mourning, and I believe, according to my account, they have now had eight funerals for Jimmy Carter, because every time I turn on the TV there's another funeral on. But tomorrow is the official one, right and he is lying in state right now.

00:07:21
Speaker 6: Do you know what that means? Well, he is in his coffin, but he's yeah, he's not. He's not driving around, he's in his cat, but he is Like people can go and walk by, you know what I mean. That's what it means to lie in state, is like you can go and pay your respects. I've done that before. I did that for Ronald Reagan.

00:07:47
Speaker 3: I went and like stood in line and then walked and just stood there for a minute. But it is.

00:07:54
Speaker 2: Interesting like I did it because my judge said to me, if you all want to go do this, you can have the afternoon off.

00:08:00
Speaker 3: And so we were like, yes, we'll do that.

00:08:04
Speaker 2: And then when I got to the front, they paused it and I got to see Mikhail Gorbachev. He came and and paid his respects. They stopped the line while I was there. That was kind of neat cool. But do you find it strange at all that people have off work tomorrow for the death of a president from forty years ago.

00:08:25
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest, Yeah, I would say so. And like, don't like government also have to keep their flags at hashtaff like thirty days or something after a president does. There's so many things.

00:08:35
Speaker 3: I mean that that to me is that I understand more. But like the post office is closed tomorrow, the banks are closed, the stock markets closed, all federal government is closed.

00:08:49
Speaker 2: I didn't realize. I'm a little surprised about that. You know, if it was the current president, I understand that, but like from a president from forty years ago, it's isn't that a little strange?

00:09:03
Speaker 4: Do you think I was surprised? Actually, the way I found out about this was this morning. I was just looking on stuff. It was like, remember, stock market's closed tomorrow. I thought, wow, in the world of the stock mark could be closed on January ninth, I couldn't think of anything. Then right around and saw it. But no, I had no idea that everything just completely shut down when we lose a president.

00:09:20
Speaker 3: Janden, Do you think that's weird at all?

00:09:22
Speaker 5: I mean, I guess we do it for all the presidents, right, who was the last.

00:09:25
Speaker 3: People we did die.

00:09:26
Speaker 1: Well, we haven't had a president.

00:09:28
Speaker 2: We haven't had a president DIY in a long time, right, I mean I guess Bush long ago Bush. Okay, then before that, who wasn't was it? Was it Reagan?

00:09:37
Speaker 1: Meagana?

00:09:38
Speaker 2: So in Reagan, I mean I was in Washington. So this was two thousand and four, was when Reagan died.

00:09:44
Speaker 5: Well, if that's what we did for the other presidents, then we go.

00:09:46
Speaker 1: No.

00:09:46
Speaker 3: No, I'm not saying Jimmy Carter doesn't deserve it.

00:09:49
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, just the idea that we closed the government for a president from a long time ago.

00:09:56
Speaker 5: Was I kind of like it to show of respect, you know, he was our president. So I don't have a problem with.

00:10:01
Speaker 3: It, all right.

00:10:01
Speaker 2: I'm surprised, Shandon. I'm not again, don't get me wrong, I'm not against it. I just I just was. I'm just surprised we do it.

00:10:08
Speaker 1: Where is he lying in state at? Is it in Georgia somewhere?

00:10:12
Speaker 2: I think he's at the Capitol at the Capitol. I think it's like when I saw Reagan. I think he was in the Capitol rotunda maybe, And they gave you this little thing that said, like when you walked up it had like his name, and it had the presidential seal. I still have it somewhere. Yeah, it was very It was a cool little memento.

00:10:30
Speaker 3: I stood in line for like five hours. Oh my, just you saying I stood in line. Oh it was.

00:10:37
Speaker 2: But I mean again, when your boss says you can have the day off if you do this, he also was like, you got to show me that you did it.

00:10:44
Speaker 3: So the three of us went and it was nice.

00:10:46
Speaker 2: I mean, I there was something nice about it, and seeing the Gorbachev thing was really cool.

00:10:53
Speaker 3: But it's just I didn't realize that the world all like we got. I had a holiday for it.

00:10:58
Speaker 1: I guess that's just that protocol and I and this, all the living presidents will be there.

00:11:04
Speaker 3: Did we do it for Nixon because you know he resigned? I don't know. Did we Did they do it for Nixon?

00:11:09
Speaker 1: I don't remember.

00:11:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't remember either. Anyway, Who's next? Mark? Go ahead?

00:11:14
Speaker 7: Mark?

00:11:16
Speaker 8: He more than Matt, first time caller. And I lived in Georgia and the GOTO the game last night. It seemed like to me there wasn't as many plantings from UK there, and I presumed that was because of all the snow and the ice that you all had.

00:11:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, it may have been I'm not sure.

00:11:41
Speaker 2: I mean we we part of it may also been we've already you know, had a game down there this year and and and there have been some a number of travel opportunities. But yeah, that I'm not I don't really know what the answer would be.

00:11:55
Speaker 8: Yeah, I enjoyed being there. It was it was tough, hard to watch, and he played.

00:12:02
Speaker 2: The way it did.

00:12:04
Speaker 8: But I want to make a comment about their stadium. I didn't like the floor at all. Uh, it's me.

00:12:14
Speaker 3: We're on the same page. Yeah, but go ahead.

00:12:18
Speaker 8: Yeah. And then the other things that Areada is half the size of Russ.

00:12:23
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:12:24
Speaker 8: And we lived here three years work Mount Sterling. And when I went in there, we called the day before. I went online and got tickets that were great. They were real good tickets. And then when we went in is like everybody or so many people walked the aisles the whole game and didn't didn't watch the game like they do it rough.

00:12:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, I mean it's you know they okay, go ahead.

00:12:55
Speaker 8: The other thing is I found out they let the students in pre Yeah, and the UK game is the only game they fill that arena.

00:13:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's all the true. I appreciate the call. That's true of a lot of these schools. You know that a lot of the schools make it to where, uh, the UK game for some of them pays for the year, right, I mean uh, And I think it's smart for these schools to have smaller arenas.

00:13:20
Speaker 3: They're not gonna fill up both sides of rup or.

00:13:23
Speaker 2: I mean that game last night wasn't even sold out, right, they still had some empty seats. So I think it's very smart for them to have those smaller arenas.

00:13:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, it got loud in there because it was smaller. I think their crowd was into it. You know, they showed the crowd a lot of times, and they seem to be into the end of the game a little bit.

00:13:38
Speaker 4: Shows even with the change of avera, Kentucky it's the show. I mean, every road trip we're gonna see it's gonna be the best crowd every single night this year, exception maybe Auburn coming in, but you're getting every team's best effort when you're Kentucky. That's why Georgia they won't have a crowd like that all year.

00:13:53
Speaker 2: And that's why it's all so hard. I mean, it's harder for us in the SEC. We will get, we get. We're gonna get harder environment than anybody.

00:14:02
Speaker 3: You know.

00:14:02
Speaker 2: Auburn May this year because they're good, Tennessee May this year. But year in and year out, whether we're good or not, we're gonna get the hardest environments. And that's just part of what you get when you sign up in Kentucky.

00:14:11
Speaker 3: You've lost two road games both times they storm the court this year. Yeah, and it'll probably continue to happen if they do. That's the show.

00:14:19

We have some breaking news. Shannon Kentucky gets a commitment in football from Clemson wide receiver Troy Still, who is committed to Kentucky. UH picked Kentucky over Michigan, LSU and West Virginia a position.

00:15:08
Speaker 1: Of me with Dane and berryon leaving, Hardley Gilmore left, Michaelan was like the only guy who in that room Matthew Brow Stevens left. So they definitely need some receivers.

00:15:15
Speaker 2: Definitely do. We'll take a break and be right back. That's KSR. Welcome back, Tucky Sports Radio AFF nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven, UH Text Machine seven seven two seven seven four five two five four one person rights, Matt. I'm worried that we might go five hundred in the sec? Are you worried about that? It's plausible. I don't think we will. I think we'll be better than that, but we're gonna have. If we play like we did last night, we'll go five hundred. If we play like we did against Florida, then I think we're looking at like twelve and six, So we'll see which one we do.

00:15:57
Speaker 3: But it is plausible. It is It is very possible that that could happen.

00:16:01
Speaker 1: If you want to have a twelve and six or eleven and you know five record in the SEC. You've got to win those games. Last night, you got to steal one on the road at places like Georgia. They didn't get it. Now they're gonna try to steal one Atssissippi State.

00:16:14
Speaker 2: Because remember the next two games are A and M in Alabama at home. Not gimmes, not gimmes, not gimmes at all, either one of them.

00:16:22
Speaker 4: I like looking at ken Palm brought it up many times where he predicts scores and records moving forward. I think he he has them losing Atsissippi State and then winning both those home games by one point after that. So that's just showing you how tight the analytics think all these games are gonna do.

00:16:38
Speaker 2: All these games are gonna be like that, and we will probably steal. We will steal a road game that we don't think we're gonna win. Like it wouldn't shot me if we stole a Tennessee or in Alabama.

00:16:48
Speaker 3: But then we might well probably lose one of these home games that we don't think.

00:16:51
Speaker 4: You know, I mean, as frustrating as last night was because everything seemed to go wrong, they will have a night where they can't miss in the AEA. I won't be able to do anything about it. I think you're exactly right.

00:17:00
Speaker 2: It's wings day here at cas Bar Dollar Wings all day at night. One person rites, Matt, what do you think about Trump changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America?

00:17:14
Speaker 3: Stop it?

00:17:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, Matt, what do you think?

00:17:17
Speaker 3: Stop? Like?

00:17:18
Speaker 2: I can't you know you can't. You people can't prod.

00:17:22
Speaker 3: Me with that. Shannon for four years, right.

00:17:24
Speaker 5: I'm more interested in him changing his hairstyle.

00:17:27
Speaker 3: His hair has changed.

00:17:29
Speaker 2: Well, So let me on the first of all, the Gulf of the whole by green Land invade Canada to all that all that's stupid on the Gulf of America Gulf of Mexico thing. The rest of the world is still going to call it the Gulf of Mexico, so whatever we do is irrelevant. But it did lead me to think of something. Who gets to decide.

00:17:48
Speaker 3: What all those things are called? Like?

00:17:51
Speaker 2: Who actually gets to like, let's say you just wanted to change the name of the Pacific Ocean to the Rhine Lemon Ocean.

00:18:00
Speaker 3: Who gets to decide that?

00:18:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's not an ocean headquarters. They have a president and vice president where they decide the name to the ocean.

00:18:07
Speaker 3: So like with countries, your country gets to decide your name.

00:18:10
Speaker 2: So like a lot of times, like you'll see countries in Africa, Asia, they change the name of their country, and you can do that.

00:18:16
Speaker 3: But the ocean. Nobody owns the ocean, and nobody owns the Gulf of Mexico. So who gets to decide? Well, soon elon musk.

00:18:27
Speaker 4: But to this point, was it just the original explorers named it and everyone just went with it.

00:18:32
Speaker 3: They're like, well that's what they called it. So like I don't.

00:18:36
Speaker 2: Let's just say because they probably will. Trump will just say all right, now it's the Gulf of America. Who gets to decide?

00:18:44
Speaker 3: We don't have an ocean committee to Yeah, I.

00:18:45
Speaker 2: Mean, I'm being honest with you. I don't know the answer to that question. I don't know who gets to decide what anything is name.

00:18:52
Speaker 5: I think he does. He's the president, yeah.

00:18:54
Speaker 2: But he's not the president of the world, so he doesn't get to decide for the world what what?

00:18:58
Speaker 3: What?

00:18:59
Speaker 1: Like?

00:18:59
Speaker 5: So we got a vote on it or what?

00:19:01
Speaker 3: I don't know. When you say vote on it, who's even vote? All the ers?

00:19:04
Speaker 5: Are you cool with me changing it to the Gulf of America.

00:19:07
Speaker 3: But I don't know.

00:19:09
Speaker 2: They're gonna say no, So I don't really know what I honestly, it's really stupid. But then when I heard it, I was like, I don't know how you I don't know who decides.

00:19:18
Speaker 3: That half of the show loves the Golf of Mexico and you go all the time.

00:19:23
Speaker 1: I was why i'd be in favorite changing to the Golf of America.

00:19:26
Speaker 3: I feel why.

00:19:29
Speaker 2: We see you're an example of why these things take off.

00:19:33
Speaker 1: You're like, yeah, they've changed you to the Golf of America.

00:19:37
Speaker 3: Whew, Like for what purpose? I don't know.

00:19:41
Speaker 1: I'm in America to make them like.

00:19:43
Speaker 3: I'm in America when I get in it. You're in America when you get in.

00:19:47
Speaker 2: So to me, the people in Mexico, when they get in it, they're in they're in Mexico.

00:19:51
Speaker 1: Maybe we could cut it in half, the water in halford you can't water.

00:20:00
Speaker 2: If you want a perfect example of why these idiotic things happen, all you gotta do is look at Ryan Living. Yeah, I'm in America when I get in it. That's why I call it the Golf of Them. But when you're in the Atlantic Ocean, you're in America. You just want to call it America too.

00:20:14
Speaker 1: Well, Atlantic Ocean is okay, it's it's it's neutral, it doesn't refer to it's not going to be neutral if you change it from Mexico to America. Well, it's it's it's it's ours we swim in and all the I mean, it's our, they swim in it too.

00:20:27
Speaker 9: Uh. I like, I like the idea. I'd be you're an idiot. I love you, but you are an Absolutely I do. I love you, but you are an idiot. I like the logical.

00:20:38
Speaker 4: Far I'm in the golf and when I put on my trunks and got my margarita, I was in America.

00:20:42
Speaker 3: So don't you go to the Golf of Mexico. In Mexico, don't you go to King Coon.

00:20:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll call it the Golf of Mexico and I'm there.

00:20:49
Speaker 2: Oh okay, So you're calling it the Gulf of Mexico in Florida, So when you're in Florida, it's the Golf of America.

00:20:53
Speaker 1: Absolutely, are all right? Why don't we call the Golf of Florida borders almost all?

00:20:58
Speaker 3: Why not? Why don't we Why don't we call it the Gulf of Biloxi for that too, Senior Frog's golf. Here we go, Who's next? Kentucky Kentucky surveyor? How are you ridiculous? Go ahead?

00:21:14
Speaker 10: Hey, Matt doing good?

00:21:15
Speaker 2: How you guys doing?

00:21:16
Speaker 3: Do it good? What's up?

00:21:19
Speaker 10: Not much on the first time or a long time? That's your first time caller? Got got a couple of points and a couple points in a question for if you don't mind, so love long UK fan, huge Pope fan, all in on Pope, but I'm worried man like long term, I think we're fine with Pope, but I don't know, like we don't precipicate finicalty, we don't box out. And part of that may be the players. I also feel like that could be coached out of them, don't you think.

00:21:46
Speaker 3: I mean, these guys have been playing a long time. I think you know.

00:21:50
Speaker 2: I think sometimes you just are what you are, right like you are what you are now? I mean, can we coach them to draw more fouls driving the basket?

00:21:58
Speaker 3: Yeah?

00:21:59
Speaker 2: I guess, but you kind of are what you are and and there are something like we're not athletic and Drew. I don't think there's gonna be much we can do about that, right, You're just gonna have to scheme around it because we're not athletic. We just saw the play where Butler had a wide open dunk and he almost missed it because he couldn't he didn't get high enough in the air.

00:22:18
Speaker 3: Like we kind of are what we are, you know, Yeah, that was my thing.

00:22:22
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to make excuses or lower the standard of Kentucky, but I feel like in May this is kind of what we all thought was gonna happen. Now, assuming you get Caleb Wilson and some of these recruits doing with very good the athleticism and some little problems we're mentioning in these games so far, that will be answered as Pope goes on and builds rosters the way once. But yes, I think this current team, this is what it is. I think the biggest roster missed to this point was we thought Jackson Robinson was a dude, even maybe passed up on some other guys considering Kentucky. When you're going through all the portal stuff and he just hasn't gone to that. Next time he needs needs to be at another gear because the roster was built around that.

00:23:00
Speaker 3: He needs to be a dude. You're exactly right.

00:23:01
Speaker 2: That's the one thing that that I think can happen, that needs to happen. I don't think your athleticism is getting any better. Appreciate the call. I'm not even sure if your physicality is going to get better. But Jackson Robinson needs to be a dude. He's been it before. So we'll take a break right back, ksorry all right, So, uh we had a guy here looking up You said it was the International Hydro.

00:23:29
Speaker 3: International hydro hydro Graphic Organization is who decides.

00:23:34
Speaker 1: The name the name of international waters?

00:23:36
Speaker 3: Intername of international waters.

00:23:38
Speaker 1: Are you surprised that they haven't been a movement to not name it the Indian Ocean?

00:23:44
Speaker 2: No, because the there's a country over there called India. Yeah, that's different. So like like people in India are not of offended by being called Indians because they are Indians.

00:24:00
Speaker 5: People it taught the Guardian Ocean.

00:24:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they like, that's an actual country, is India. Indians here native Americans. It's because we named them Indians because we thought we were in India but we weren't.

00:24:14
Speaker 3: Does that make sense?

00:24:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, But in India they actually are called it so like the Indian Ocean is because of India. It's not that the word Indian is somehow in and of itself offensive. It's that we were calling people who were not Indian Indians, but in India they actually are Indian.

00:24:33
Speaker 3: Okay, so we're not canceled Indian. So we're not.

00:24:36
Speaker 2: So the Indian Ocean is okay because it's in it's outside of India.

00:24:40
Speaker 1: I think it's a good question. Everything is related the Indians. Here they want to change it.

00:24:44
Speaker 3: Because they're not Indians, but over there they are. They love their ocean.

00:24:49
Speaker 2: They say good things about their ocean. You do make a good point. Let me give you one credit. Like water kind of all runs into each other, so it is it's interesting to see when you like, when does the Gulf of Mexico become the Atlantic Ocean? When does the Caribbean Sea becomes because all the water ultimately runs into each other.

00:25:10
Speaker 4: See, I had this issue. I had to go to my neighbor like, hey, this is weird. You keep mowing into my yard and I'm trying to grow mine a little longer. When they have territory issues the oceans, where is there a fine line? How do they settle.

00:25:24
Speaker 2: When I was on the DC circuit, we would have to deal occasionally with disputes in international waters, and I believe I don't know what the amount is. I want to say it's like three miles maybe. I think every country quote unquote owns the water so many miles from its border. Say it's a mile two miles through me, I don't know what it is, and then after that it's international.

00:25:49
Speaker 3: Waters and nobody owns it. Right. It's it's like there are there are books about this.

00:25:54
Speaker 2: It's lawlessness because it's out in the international waters. But you own or at least control the amount of water right around your ball. I don't know what the amount is, but there's some amount out the border that you control.

00:26:09
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what it is. Is that's those booies are out there for when we're out swimming. I don't know.

00:26:14
Speaker 2: I don't know how they did, but there is yeah, so so I guess.

00:26:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, they patrolled and mile within with It's like.

00:26:21
Speaker 2: The coast Guard. They enforced so much out from your border. Yeah, but I don't know what that ima. This is very informative show, it is.

00:26:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, we don't really know anything, but that's Okay.

00:26:32
Speaker 2: Reed, Shepard had forty nine points last night in his G League debut.

00:26:37
Speaker 3: Forty nine points, that's pretty good. The boy's gonna be all right. The G League isn't as negative as it used to be.

00:26:44
Speaker 4: It used to be when you were sent in the G League, it's like, well, if you're just one stop from being overseas. There are a lot of examples of guys who have been high draft picks that have taken a step down, played well, and gone right back. I'm hoping that's the case for Reid, and he Night one went very well on that path of just getting some rhythm going, get him some minutes.

00:27:01
Speaker 1: Keep him sharp. Could be the shortest trip to the G League. I'm sure it be called back up today, probably after.

00:27:06
Speaker 2: I think he said after the game he would be that the Rockets have told him he's coming back Sundays. Who's gonna play like I think they play like three games yesterday and like two more. I think maybe they had a bunch of games this week, so that's why they sent him, and he would be back on with the Rockets on Sunday.

00:27:23
Speaker 3: He's kind of unique.

00:27:24
Speaker 4: Normally, when you're the third pick, you're going to a crappy team and they're like, hey, we need you. The Rockets are much better than even they probably expected going this year, and he's just not getting the minutes to get these opportunities with that team.

00:27:35
Speaker 2: Did you see the dunk Lebron got at forty years old?

00:27:40
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it yet.

00:27:42
Speaker 2: You need to see it, Mario tweeted it out. I mean, he's not as good as he was even a few years ago. But Lebron is forty years old and he has built like a tank, and he is forty years old. It's kind of unbelievable that he is as even as good as he is at forty freak man. And I read this article this morning as I was preparing for the show about all the things that he does for his body.

00:28:11
Speaker 3: Huh.

00:28:12
Speaker 2: He gets a thirty minute massage every day, first of all, I would love that, Yeah, thirty minutes every day. He like takes these like German pills that like rejuvenate your muscles and your fibers.

00:28:30
Speaker 3: In all this, he only eats. He eats like a.

00:28:34
Speaker 2: Huge amount of lean protein, no fat every day. He does all of these things and that's why he looks like that. Yeah, but could you do all of those things.

00:28:44
Speaker 1: Like no way I could, and I did choco chip cookie and I'm going for it. Doesn't he sleep like ten hours a day two or something that is a crazy amount?

00:28:52
Speaker 3: Is that right? I don't know that he sleeps.

00:28:54
Speaker 2: He he spends like an hour every other day in like a hydrogenic chamber thing wow, where like light rays come. It's just it's crazy this stuff he does. And that's probably why he looks like he does at forty years old.

00:29:10
Speaker 4: I feel like I'd be very good at the massage part. The rest of that. Okay, step one, I'm out on that. That dunk last night though, to be forty, human beings aren't supposed to do that. No, he's forty, I'm thirty nine. I don't know that I'll ever recover from shoveling my driveway yesterday.

00:29:29
Speaker 3: I'm serious. I think I am permanently injured from shoving my driveway.

00:29:33
Speaker 4: I crawled to the couch and watched Lebron changing hands in air and windmill dunking on people.

00:29:37
Speaker 2: I said this on ESPN, and this is true, and everybody that's forty knows this. There's something about when you turn forty, like you just wake up and things just hurt like you didn't even you didn't even know you had an injury, and.

00:29:52
Speaker 3: It just hurts.

00:29:52
Speaker 2: Like I got up a few days ago and my left elbow just hurt, and I was like, why is this happening?

00:29:58
Speaker 3: Why'd you do?

00:29:58
Speaker 2: I didn't do anything, It just hurt, and then you go to bed next day, it doesn't hurt three days later hurting again. That's what happens for forty for us Channing. Have you felt that when you've gotten older?

00:30:10
Speaker 5: Only when I, like the day after a wrestling match. Yeah, But other than that, I don't.

00:30:15
Speaker 3: Now I get random pains. You know that, Ryan, You do.

00:30:19
Speaker 1: Too getting out of bed. It takes you forty five minutes to kind of creak and crack and get all stretched out. You can stand straight up again.

00:30:25
Speaker 3: But not Lebron, Not Lebron. Lebron looks like that. We're not getting enough massages, is what it is, Amen.

00:30:30
Speaker 1: Why don't you get that for it?

00:30:31
Speaker 3: Why do we know what more massages? That's really what it? Who's up next, Garrett, Garrett? Go ahead, Garrett.

00:30:41
Speaker 7: Matt Yes, hey, first time caller. Aunt geographic name changes. Yes, I lived in Melbourne Beach when Kennedy was shot and there was a big movement to change Cap Canafral. Okay, the Florida residents said absolutely not, so that's what it became. Kennedy's Space Center, gotcha, and it's still Cape Canaveral.

00:31:10
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:31:11
Speaker 3: So like local towns get to decide their name. I think they do.

00:31:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, they do they Yeah, Like like Middlesborough could change its name to you know, Dictamorsborough or something if it wanted to, I would vote for it. They should, and then the state on state property decides and then Cape Canaveral was probably interesting because that's probably local property, sir, that the federal government leases.

00:31:39
Speaker 3: So that's probably why that was a little controversial.

00:31:42
Speaker 7: And Cape Canaveral was named by the Spanish, okay, five hundred years ago.

00:31:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that makes sense. Well, I appreciate, appreciate the call. We're gonna have a lot of this coming, by the way. I'm gonna make your prediction, of course.

00:31:57
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:31:58
Speaker 7: I'll tell you about the first UK basketball game I ever attended. Okay, we lived in Orlando and my dad said we'll school for RU so we were going up full forty one. North didn't say a word to me about anything. We got the Gamesville, he says, we're going to basketball game. So in nineteen sixty three, I saw my first UK basketball game and I watched Cotton Ash play.

00:32:26
Speaker 3: That's awesome. People people love copp and Cotton Ash. What was it?

00:32:29
Speaker 7: Uh great?

00:32:30
Speaker 3: Heyj JT. He loved that was his favorite. Plat loved.

00:32:34
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call. So yeah, he uh, he loved, he loved you. We'll talk about old times. Did you see Mark Pope went to visit Vernonhattan. Vernon's not doing too well and Mark went to visit him and.

00:32:44
Speaker 2: I did not Did he do that? That's very not Yep Pope. You know, and and to be fair, we've had a lot. Cal did that too. Like that that those guys that they're appreciating that history and and honoring those old guys.

00:32:56
Speaker 3: I think that's that's awesome. Yeah, but we're focused on a lot.

00:32:59
Speaker 4: I think Pope doing more brand guys to practice the wise become a bigger thing. But Cal did a good job of reaching out to past generations also.

00:33:07
Speaker 3: That's nice though. Vernon Hatton, where was Vernon Hatton from Lafayette?

00:33:11
Speaker 1: Did you play from here? He played Lafayette.

00:33:14
Speaker 4: I have Vernon Hatton's autograph on a free ns T shirt. Nice little Uh really, I got all of his team to sign a free NIT team. He got Vernon Hatton, they signed the free They had a reunion at Malone's. That was that nineteen fifty eight reunion and I was their server and I just happened to have a free ns T shirt in the car and I told him and they were obviously understanding of venis his story in that moment, and I went out and got it, and I have all those guys sign aw.

00:33:42
Speaker 3: Oh that's kind of cool. Wow.

00:33:43
Speaker 2: I will tell you something that's gonna happen. This is going to start happening soon. There's gonna be a lot of movement to name things after Trump and Obama, and there's gonna be a lot of fights about that.

00:33:58
Speaker 3: I'm gonna make you that prediction.

00:33:59
Speaker 1: H I can see that.

00:34:00
Speaker 3: I think that's coming.

00:34:01
Speaker 2: I think there's gonna be a lot because you know, we name things, we don't think about it a lot. I think when those two, there's gonna be a lot of movement to name things after those two.

00:34:09
Speaker 3: I think, Ryan, you'll see a lot of fights about this.

00:34:11
Speaker 1: So maybe instead of golf America. We call it golf of Donald, Golf, Golf of Donald.

00:34:18
Speaker 3: Go away.

00:34:22
Speaker 5: Donald likes to play golf.

00:34:24

00:35:14
Speaker 3: Yeah? This song? Really? Yeah? What about you? It's it's in the conversation top two, Like, been playing that one a lot.

00:35:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good one.

00:35:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, it's tough.

00:35:26
Speaker 2: Most of mine are gonna be from those early albums, you know. I'm gonna probably say just my favorite is probably follow You to Virgie, But like, but you take that whole Purgatory album, this song, White Tattoos Born Again, like all those they're great. The only thing I don't you know, when you go to concerts now, you only get to hear a handful of those, right, and he plays the most famous ones. But like Charleston Girl is a song I like a lot. He doesn't play that as much, you know. But nevertheless, Yeah, good stuff, good call.

00:36:00
Speaker 4: Eight.

00:36:00
Speaker 2: I'm nine uh two eighth twenty two eighty seven, one person rights, Matt. I'm a Trump supporter and a conservative Republican. The only thing that's ever made me mad you've ever said, however, was last night when you said only people over sixty have vanilla wafers in their house. I'm forty two and I have vanilla wafers in my house all the time. You need to take that back. What do you think are you gonna take it back? Well, I mean it might not be true for him. I was just saying, like, I like vanilla wafers, like them a lot, but I've never seen them in the house of someone that's not over sixty, unless they were cooking a dish that needed them, like like banana pudding. But like my grandpa candy corn, same way. You ever been in a young person's house with candy corn. No, but old people have candy corn and it's good wor there's originals.

00:36:52
Speaker 5: I've got them. But you're over forty. You said sixty earlier.

00:36:57
Speaker 3: Now you're cat. You buy work, you buy, you buy work. There's originals.

00:37:00
Speaker 5: My mom brought him for me and I was still here.

00:37:02
Speaker 2: You go, your mom bought him for you, and she's older than sixty. There's just certain food like that drew that like it. You know, you kind of graduate into it as you get older.

00:37:12
Speaker 4: I didn't hear you mentioned this, but I'm siding with you. That is an older food filling the wafers. I can't think of a time I've been with the boys. It's like, pass me that bottle of waiters, justaers.

00:37:25
Speaker 3: No, that's that's that's an elderly thing. That's an elderly thing. It's okay, though it's they're good. I like them.

00:37:30
Speaker 1: We all we all like them. We just don't have them in our pantry. Didn't nibble on at any point.

00:37:35
Speaker 2: One person rides mad, I know you're a Reds fan. Are you excited that they got Gavin uh Lucks? Well, I'm gonna admitt I'd never heard I'd heard of him like once, couldn't have picked him out of a lineup. But they traded a guy had never heard of for him, So I consider that a win. If I've heard of the guy and the guy they traded, I haven't heard of victory.

00:37:56
Speaker 3: And now you can call it Hal McCoy and say, how tell me about him? Like, what are we getting? How's my guy? Now? He's another second basement though, I mean we have.

00:38:04
Speaker 1: You need a few more infielders.

00:38:06
Speaker 3: The Reds have like seven second basement on the roster.

00:38:09
Speaker 1: So because McLean was missed, you could hear, but he's still there.

00:38:13
Speaker 3: They traded India, so they do. They did get rid of him.

00:38:16
Speaker 1: I liked him too.

00:38:17
Speaker 3: He was a good player, so but I do think that made the Reds a little bit better. So that's good.

00:38:21
Speaker 4: You always have a guy that is just a thorn in your side. You don't feel like he has any potential. There there's one player, it seems every season where you bring him up on the show.

00:38:30
Speaker 2: I'm kind of down on Christian. I'm pretty down on Christian and Carci Strand. I've never seen him get a hit ever, so he's he's the one.

00:38:40
Speaker 3: I'm kind of dastraighted. So you feel better about Lux. He couldn't fall into this. No, No, he's gonna be good. He played for the Dodgers last year they won the World Series. Who's next?

00:38:47
Speaker 5: Glow Girl?

00:38:48
Speaker 3: Glow girl? Hello? How are you?

00:38:52
Speaker 11: OHI man, I just have a simple question. I watched all the games, in fact, they go to all of home games, and I'm to your show all the time. But can you explain what you mean when you say are guys aren't athletics. I don't understand that they're d one players.

00:39:09
Speaker 3: I can, but let me before I do that.

00:39:12
Speaker 2: Why if you don't mind me asking, why do you call yourself glow girl? Oh?

00:39:19
Speaker 11: Because my name is Gloria.

00:39:21
Speaker 3: Oh okay, okay, I didn't know if you were like raves stuff.

00:39:26
Speaker 11: I used to be a camp nurse grow with my kids growing up, and they all called it slow grow five.

00:39:31
Speaker 2: Okay, the reason I say they're not athletic, I mean, clearly they're athletic.

00:39:35
Speaker 3: Enough to play uh D one sports.

00:39:39
Speaker 2: But the reason I say they're not athlet is they are not elite athletes. I mean, we've had elite athletes on this team over the years. We've seen what they look like, and that's not what this group is. Now. That's okay, Oakland beat US last year. They had no elite athletes and they beat us. But I don't think any of these guys are like elite athletes, which is why you know they struggle sometimes finishing at the rim.

00:40:05
Speaker 3: Do you do you agree? Do you agree with me? Yeah?

00:40:07
Speaker 4: I think it shows a lot defensively when they just don't have like a lateral quickness to stay in front of their man. To Butler, even though he can be a little limited, he's good at that. But sometimes defensively just see a guy blow right past them and they just don't have a quick step like the other side.

00:40:20
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a you can still be a really good basketball player not be an elite athlete. Like maybe the best basketball player in the NBA is Yokichen. I'm not sure if he's an elite athlete. He's just unbelievably skilled. Our guys are skilled, but they're not elite athletes. And I think that we just have to remember that because it shows up sometimes.

00:40:39
Speaker 1: And that's what it's scary about the SEC. Every team is athletic. We may have them one of the bottom athletic teams in the whole conference.

00:40:48
Speaker 2: We do, yeah, and we're used to always having like the best athletes. This is just the exact opposite. This is how I was skilled and probably one of the better coached. I agree, this is like a high mid major team in terms of athleticism. Now, in terms of skill, I think they're better than that, But in terms of athleticism, this is not a group of elite athletes. No, but there's a lot of teams with elite athletes that aren't good skilled get beat because they didn't game plan, they're not prepared, they're not skilled.

00:41:20
Speaker 3: There's just so many different wats. Five years, if there's so many different.

00:41:23
Speaker 4: Ways to be good at basketball, we just switched from an athletic to a different brand.

00:41:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, I appreciate the call.

00:41:29
Speaker 2: I mean, think about DJ Wagner, Justin Edwards and Aaron Bradshaw all elite athletes not very skilled. We have the exact opposite. Now we have non elite athletes that are very skilled.

00:41:43
Speaker 4: Think about Willie Cawley Steinin, just a freakiven athlete, and he developed skills over Tom.

00:41:47
Speaker 3: And he was a wide receiver. Really.

Do you feel like we can bounce back and beat Mississippi State Saturday.

00:42:13
Speaker 1: I'm worried about that game. I was worried about it even before they lost last night because these road games in the NCY are gonna be really tough. So to answer your question, I say, no, I think it's gonna be a loss.

00:42:21
Speaker 2: Well on that bummer. Thank you all very much for listening. Thank you guys for coming out. It's Wingsday, all day dollar Wings. Come see it and get out of snow. It's gonna be cold tonight. We'll see you later. It's Kentucky Sports Radio.
