00:01:51
Speaker 6: Uh.

00:01:52
Speaker 5: Jeff Goodman is reporting that Jayden Quaintens will not play tomorrow, So no quaintance, Uh no, low And we'll just see what happens. We've gone to Tennessee drew with less and we've won, so we might as well do it.

00:02:06
Speaker 4: Try to do it here.

00:02:07
Speaker 6: Yeah, I agree. He've been good going down there shorthanded the last two trips. I am worried how good we are fixing nee swelling has been a little bit of a while. I was hopeful he would give it a go. But let's get the medical team rolling so that knee can be better. You as swelling has lingered a little longer than I thought, swelling linger.

00:02:23
Speaker 7: Can we get a knee doctor. We had an ankle doctor, we needed a knee doctor.

00:02:26
Speaker 5: Is negative Ryan who last Saturday started to show his head out. Is he starting to feel more and more in Bolden to be negative on the acquaintance thing.

00:02:39
Speaker 2: I think it we just needed to be discussed that, you know, he sits out right and when he didn't play well and dad was very adamant on social media.

00:02:47
Speaker 4: How do you feel now though it's a week later, still has to play.

00:02:51
Speaker 2: I think it deserves to be discussed.

00:02:54
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say, if we get to.

00:03:00
Speaker 5: Well Arkansas is win thirty first thirty first, right, so you got Tennessee. Then we play Texas at home old Miss on the road at Vandy. I'm gonna look at that at Vandy game. If he doesn't play by then then I'm gonna start to wonder if he's not gonna play. I still think he's gonna play. I still don't think there's any I have not gotten a hint from anyone except negative Ryan that he's not gonna play. But if we go two and a half two weeks, two and a half weeks, then I do think, Shannon, you have to start and go, Wait a minute, what's going on.

00:03:33
Speaker 7: I'm not a doctor, but I feel like two and a half weeks is long enough for Anita stop swelling.

00:03:37
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I feel like at that point he should be ready to go.

00:03:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, well we'll find out.

00:03:41
Speaker 5: I have the perfect Drew event for Ryan Lemon's attention span.

00:03:47
Speaker 6: Oh oh, okay.

00:03:49
Speaker 5: I watched this last night when I got home from trivia, I went and watched it on YouTube and I actually thought that was awesome. So, you know, tennis has lost a lot of its sort of national at least in America. It's not as popular as it was like when I was a kid.

00:04:04
Speaker 6: Or when we were working there. It's gone downhill since people.

00:04:06
Speaker 5: Yes, it has, I mean Fetter and all those guys gone. I think that makes a part of it. But they the Australian Open starts next week and they had an event to get it kicked off, Shannon.

00:04:17
Speaker 4: It was called the One Point Slam.

00:04:20
Speaker 6: I like it, okay.

00:04:21
Speaker 5: So they put the top twenty five men's players, they put the top like fifteen women's players, and then they had a contest in Australia that anyone could enter where you could try to get to play in it. And the premise is it was a tournament, but you only had to play one point. Wow, okay, one point win or lose. So the theory is, of course you're not going to beat a good player in a whole match, but in one point anything could happen.

00:04:51
Speaker 4: They could double fault, right, anything could happen.

00:04:54
Speaker 5: So like eight or ten people from across Australia made the finals. They had all these men professionals, women professionals. They had the tournament. It ended up crazy things happened, okay. The number one player in the world lost to a woman on the women's tour. An amateur, just an amateur dude beat Carlos Alcaraz out. The final match ended up being a guy from Australia who was a good player but not a professional, versus the number two woman in the world one point and he beat her and he won a million dollars. Just a guy in Australia ended up winning a million.

00:05:36
Speaker 6: I would watch something like this.

00:05:37
Speaker 7: This is kind of like tennis's version of the NC doublea tournament. In one game, anything could happen. One point, Peters can be Kentucky point.

00:05:44
Speaker 5: They would do paper rock scissors to see who got to serve. Okay, and like in one of the matches, one of the pros was playing an amateur and the pro double faulted. His theory was he can't hit my serve. But by the way, you didn't double one serve. Oh, if you put the first serve in the net.

00:06:03
Speaker 6: You're out of pressure. Yeah.

00:06:05
Speaker 4: I loved it. I watched it.

00:06:07
Speaker 5: I even know who won, who had won, because I'd seen the sword, but still watching, and the players were into it and they were loving it.

00:06:12
Speaker 4: And it was quick. You come in, you do the serve, go out, next next team.

00:06:16
Speaker 7: Yeah, ten minutes later, the next team.

00:06:18
Speaker 4: Sixty four player tournament, there was a bracket.

00:06:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, bait, I'm watching that a love more than I'm watching a five hour tennis match. It goes five sets and tiebreaker after tiebreaker. I'm watching that.

00:06:27
Speaker 5: I feel like it was a I feel like it was a great idea and it was something that could make men and women play again because.

00:06:32
Speaker 4: Again for one point, yeah, anyone could win.

00:06:35
Speaker 6: I thought it was excellent. I'd like to just sit there and rapid fire bet all day long as they just come up one after another. Also, with our short attention spans, will other sports do this? Well, we have a basketball game where it's first to two and just bring out the next five.

00:06:48
Speaker 4: What let me ask you this, would you want to watch this?

00:06:51
Speaker 5: You took the top thirty NBA players, top fifteen women's players, and then like fifty teen randos, right, and it's just a shooting contest.

00:07:05
Speaker 6: Yeah, or one on one or one on one to one? Yeah? One. I think the lower seat should get the ball in that lower.

00:07:12
Speaker 5: Seats, yes you put Shannon. Wait a minute, Shannon the dude versus Lebron Let's gets first ball. Shannon gets first ball.

00:07:21
Speaker 7: He doesn't have a chance, right, I'm across him over not got three right in his face.

00:07:27
Speaker 4: Wouldn't you like to watch that?

00:07:29
Speaker 6: You did watch it? A random person would hit a thirty footer Overhannis.

00:07:32
Speaker 5: Yeah, just people would people would lose their So I thought the one point, the one point slam, I thought was one of the cooler things I've seen some of them do in sports.

00:07:43
Speaker 6: Tennis shouldn't go back now, Tennis, it is too long. Let's just keep the one point going.

00:07:47
Speaker 5: Now, how many of you know that Kentucky, the state of Kentucky has a professional football team, Yeah, yeah, we do in Louisville called the Kentucky Kings. Are they calling them by the Louisville State should have been the Kentucky But they're the Louisville Kings. And they had their draft yesterday and two of their draft picks Ryan were Benny Snell and Lynn Bowden. Do you think that was a good idea to help people be interested in the first year.

00:08:14
Speaker 2: Of the Louisville Kings. It caught my attention. Now, whether they end up on the field or not, I guess that's another debate. If they were in shape.

00:08:21
Speaker 5: And when Benny Snales already said he's doing it, I haven't heard about Lin Bowden.

00:08:24
Speaker 6: I'm watching.

00:08:25
Speaker 2: You had Chris Redman's the coach, right, isn't he the coach? So yeah, you got Benny Snell back there. It attracts all my attention immediately.

00:08:31
Speaker 6: I think this is what they needed to do. Get local guys that people love who can still do it but just can't make the league. And what better group can you get on the Kentucky side to Benny Snell Lynn Bowden, then you know Lamar's pretty washed. Maybe they get Lamar next year, really really good there.

00:08:46
Speaker 7: This is how you create a fan base though, right. You gotta get them hooked right from the get go. Bring in some players that are familiar, and now you know, maybe those are.

00:08:52
Speaker 5: Two perfect people. I mean, those are two guys that Kentucky fans. I'm sure they'll do the same. I didn't see, but I'm sure they'll do the same with Louisville people. But you get if you get. I can't think of two people that would be better than Biddy Snail and Lin Boat because they because they both still play football, they both still want to play football.

00:09:08
Speaker 7: In the league, and our fans still want to see that.

00:09:10
Speaker 5: And our fans still like them and they remember them and they were beloved, So I I think it's a smart idea.

00:09:15
Speaker 6: Even if you're a little fan and you paid Kentucky, you have to be like all right, this is a good deal for the Kings, like going and getting those two. Yeah, you have to embrace that a little bit. That's the perfect draft thought.

00:09:25
Speaker 4: It was a really smart thing for them to do. If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven, who's up next? Randy is up next, Randy, go ahead, Randy.

00:09:35
Speaker 8: Good morning, gentlemen. First off, Drew Franklin, congratulations. There will never be anything more satisfying to you too. When you get to watch Kentucky win a big game with your child and you get to hug him after that. That's one of the greatest satisfactions that I've had as a Kentucky fan.

00:09:53
Speaker 6: As far as.

00:09:56
Speaker 8: You know, it's awesome. The lineup, man, I just wish we trying a lineup that he loves. Leaves it alone and we go shorten out rotation to seven eight players, just find out what's working and quit subn and leave it alone. But I'm a basketball Bennie. I'll hang up unless you guys talk.

00:10:13
Speaker 4: I think that's what's gonna happen now.

00:10:15
Speaker 5: I mean, first of all, part of the reason they have to do that is guys are out, so there's not as many options. But I think, you know, Ryan, I think the lineup is pretty simple. They're gonna play Uh, They're gonna play Away in Aberdeen until their legs fall off. They're gonna play Chandler and or Cam at the three. They're gonna play Cam and or yellowch or Diabati at the four, and they're gonna play Moreno or Garrison at the five.

00:10:41
Speaker 4: And that's the lineup. Jasper Johnson.

00:10:44
Speaker 5: I hope he plays his way into that group, but he only played seven minutes the other night.

00:10:48
Speaker 4: But that's the team at this point, and it is what it is.

00:10:50
Speaker 2: It's like we talked about, you know, Pope found the I think the five guys he thought were playing the best in the second half. He's done that a couple of times this year. And He'll just run with him. None of this substitute in and out. I'm gonna go with my guys that are playing the best that night.

00:11:01
Speaker 5: There might be games Drew where Oway plays like thirty seven minutes. Sure, I mean, I think I really don't know if they can afford to ever take him out.

00:11:10
Speaker 6: No, he's been doing it on both ends too. When he had like five steals two games ago, finishing on fast breaks with Jasper, they're still gonna need him as awesome as Aberdeen was in that second half. We've seen his inconsistencies all year. He's gonna have a bad game at some point, and Jasper's gonna have to fill those shoes. Hopefully not many bad games now that's his role. But as well as he played at LSU, I don't know that we can expect that to be a regular court So I don't I hope it is.

00:11:34
Speaker 5: I'm really surprised that Jasper didn't play more in LSU. I think we had the over under at fourteen and he was seven. Didn't play it all in second half.

00:11:42
Speaker 2: Well, I think that's a credit more to Aberdeen. Aberdeen was playing so well that he hit a couple shots at chart the second half. You couldn't afford to take Aberdeen off the court, so I think it's more reflection on what Aberdeen was doing, not what Jasper wasn't doing.

00:11:54
Speaker 5: Do you think we will shoot the ball Shannon like we did in that second half against LSU eight of eleven from.

00:11:59
Speaker 7: Three, No, not consistently, but I mean I still want to see him take thirty threes, you know. I think that's the way that you beat this Tennessee team, you gotta at least make a lot of attempts at three.

00:12:08
Speaker 5: The Uh have you seen anybody watched the angle of the Chandler pass from behind the goal an.

00:12:16
Speaker 7: Hitch difference between all right.

00:12:18
Speaker 5: First of all, when I see the angle from the Chandler pass, I think Moreno kind of threw calling under the bus. That was to Morae. He wasn't trying to throw that away. Uh, that was to Moreno. That pass from that angle, when you see what he saw, I cannot believe it worked.

00:12:35
Speaker 4: Nope.

00:12:36
Speaker 5: I mean the dude was jumping up and down. He went over that guy. It's like just a you know, millimeter over the LSU guys thing and then to Moreno's credit, to catch it, turn, have the composure and make the shot. I mean, you could do that one hundred times right, and I think it would work once.

00:12:57
Speaker 4: I really do.

00:12:57
Speaker 2: And they said he overthrew Aberdeen and no he didn't. That that throw was straight to Mamorio. Rio may have been the third option, but he was throwing it.

00:13:04
Speaker 5: So if you watch, if you see that video from behind, watch Colin Chandler's face.

00:13:09
Speaker 4: He wants to throw it away.

00:13:11
Speaker 5: He sees he's covered, and then he adjust and you can see his eye go all right, I'm going to moreno, and then and then I forgot that earlier in the year. Was it against North Carolina. Chandler did the same thing and it didn't work through a bad pass. He threw a bad pass.

00:13:26
Speaker 6: I mentioned this yesterday. When Chandler went to inbound the ball Wednesday night, I was like, oh God, we're not even gonna touch it, because I had that North Carolina throw in mind. He threw it to a pile of UNC players, But uh, not this time, not at all. And to Marino's credit, I mean he caught that at the perfect top of his jump. Kind of Moss the LSU defender on both ends. I don't think you could have had better execution from the past or the catch it was.

00:13:47
Speaker 4: I mean, like I said, it's in my opinion, Shannon, I mean it's.

00:13:53
Speaker 5: It might be one of the two or three best ending shots in Kentucky history.

00:13:57
Speaker 4: I mean, we've had bigger shots in.

00:14:00
Speaker 5: Bigger games, but they were like off a play or a half court set. I mean, in terms of something we've never had something like that. I don't think we've ever had a one.

00:14:09
Speaker 4: Pass up good full court. I don't think it's ever happened.

00:14:12
Speaker 7: A lot of people compare that shot to the Laightner shot. To keep in mind, Laterner had like two point one seconds, so we had a little bit of even more extra time than what he had.

00:14:19
Speaker 4: Time for a dribble, right yeah, time for a dribble right now.

00:14:21
Speaker 7: Had to do that all in one motion, basically.

00:14:23
Speaker 6: Yeah, and it completed an eighteen point comeback. That's true. Yeah, that's also adding that to the true story will be hard to tell. Unbelievable.

00:14:29
Speaker 5: Bringing the new year with a new ride at Don Franklin, thousands of new and certified Prium vehicles go the distance with a powertrain protection on certified PreO makes.

This is Kentucky Sports Radio quarterback. It is Kentucky Sports Radio eight. I'm nine two twenty two eighty seven here at Wild Eggs off ten eights Creek. They gat Brandon, our sales guy made an ai image of Ryan Lemon that was supposed to be Ryan Lemon at Wild Eggs. I want you to look at that. I'm gonna even say Brandon did Ryan wrong. Ryan, you are much more handsome than what you that ended up on this sheet of paper. A. You gotta stop with the AI that doesn't look like Ryan at all.

00:15:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, May got my KSR gear on though.

00:15:24
Speaker 6: It's Ryan plus one hundred and fifty pounds.

00:15:26
Speaker 7: Yeah, after he's eating all of Wild eg That's true.

00:15:28
Speaker 4: If you ate this whole restaurant, that's what you would look like.

00:15:31
Speaker 5: I also don't know why it's you on Valentine's Day looking like you're making love to a pancake.

00:15:37
Speaker 6: Why is that?

00:15:38
Speaker 2: I think that's the image they want to portray here Wild.

00:15:41
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's not let Brandon be in charge of the of it anymore. We have there's two new podcasts that Drew and I and Billy did yesterday. We have our cover zero podcast, which was which we did, and then immediately we did a news podcast where we.

00:15:56
Speaker 4: Broke down Ryan.

00:15:58
Speaker 5: We broke down uh Venezuela, Minnesota, Greenland, Whole Milk, all the big issues of the day.

00:16:05
Speaker 4: Me and Drew and Billy, we fixed all of them yesterday.

00:16:08
Speaker 2: Well, I understand why you're talking about Greenland and Venezuela. Why whole milk? What did that get in the conversation?

00:16:13
Speaker 6: Well, big story, he does. I'm glad you asked.

00:16:15
Speaker 5: Okay, since you asked, all right, the RFK and his brilliance. He decided that we're gonna bring whole milk back to schools. Actually I don't buy this. I think I think he's a kook. But on this it's actually not that big a deal. But but I guess when I was a kid, we drank whole milk at school and then it became two percent milk, and then I guess now they're going to bring it back to whole milk. But here's something I didn't know yesterday. When you hear whole milk, I would always hear two percent, and then I would hear whole milk, and I was like, was that one hundred percent?

00:16:52
Speaker 6: Yeah?

00:16:53
Speaker 4: Big jump, Because it seems like that would be a huge jump.

00:16:55
Speaker 6: Give me all the fat.

00:16:56
Speaker 5: It's only three point two five percent, so it's really not whole of anything.

00:17:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's three point twenty five percent, So.

00:17:03
Speaker 6: We're arguing over one point.

00:17:06
Speaker 5: I agreed so now they're bringing it back, and they're saying and they're saying that every person in America should at least unless you're lactose and tollin, you should drink at least two glasses of milk a day. I would rather die. I had my glass of milk last night to celebrate I we've We've been on this conversation a lot. I find milk the most disgusting thing in America.

00:17:32
Speaker 4: I can't.

00:17:32
Speaker 5: I cannot think of anything I would like to drink less than whole milk. I really can't.

00:17:37
Speaker 7: What if I gave you a big cookie, a big chocolate chip cookie.

00:17:40
Speaker 2: You gotta have milk when you want milk.

00:17:41
Speaker 4: With that, right? Yeah, okay, if you're telling me arial, first of all, slow down, milk defenders.

00:17:49
Speaker 5: Cereal is different, having cereal and milk, I'm fine with. I'm talking about drinking a glass of whole milk. Now, I could drink a little bit of like two percent or skim, but I don't love it.

00:18:02
Speaker 4: But a glass of whole milk makes me.

00:18:05
Speaker 5: First of all, just think about where milk comes from.

00:18:09
Speaker 2: Well, think about where anything beef.

00:18:12
Speaker 5: I know, but I but for some reason, this is for some reason with milk. I can see it, Like when I see the steak, it looks different than the cow. But when I see the milk, I think of tooting that thing right there.

00:18:29
Speaker 4: I think of the utterers and the toots, and I'm just like, are you.

00:18:34
Speaker 6: Our My problem is you're buying cows that are tooting while you're getting the milk spoiled.

00:18:39
Speaker 2: I am milk. I cannot have dessert, chocolate cake pie, chocolate chip cookies without a big and you gotta have milk and a glass glass no plast.

00:18:48
Speaker 4: Right, I'll tell you what we'll do.

00:18:48
Speaker 5: We're here at Wild Eggs, like I'm gonna guess they have milk, right, Sure you have milk, all right, Brandon, If you'll get me a.

00:18:58
Speaker 6: Glass of cold cold don't get their hot milk, yeah, or milk's bad.

00:19:04
Speaker 5: If you get me a glass of cold whole milk, I will have what is probably my first taste of whole milk since eighth grade.

00:19:13
Speaker 6: Wow, this is you should only you don't have two percent.

00:19:18
Speaker 4: That's also gross. But I will, I will, I will try that.

00:19:22
Speaker 6: All right.

00:19:23
Speaker 5: Just imagine I'm genuinely I do not think I have had a glass of milk support it for you right now since high school?

00:19:32
Speaker 6: Really, have you not broken every bone you have? Yeah?

00:19:36
Speaker 4: Well, no I drink I get dairy.

00:19:37
Speaker 7: I just don't drink figured you have osteoporosis.

00:19:40
Speaker 6: But milk.

00:19:44
Speaker 2: Look at that first of all, just.

00:19:47
Speaker 6: All the all the challenges we've done.

00:19:49
Speaker 7: Drink, just say hey to to drink up.

00:19:51
Speaker 6: Let's go to.

00:19:55
Speaker 2: Chug chug chug, chug, chug chug.

00:20:02
Speaker 6: Come on, man, it's.

00:20:08
Speaker 4: Look at that. I want you to think about where the.

00:20:34
Speaker 6: That's right. Oh my good I get my mustache off. They got the cows in the back.

00:20:38
Speaker 2: I will say this, I don't know how the people drink skim milk. It's just like this like white water.

00:20:42
Speaker 4: Did you did you really? I did? I looked away. Did you drink all?

00:20:45
Speaker 2: He killed it?

00:20:46
Speaker 7: Oh my goodness, I can chunk and it doesn't even have austash after that either had.

00:20:51
Speaker 4: A pretty big that's the word that's ruined my day. Who's next?

00:20:56
Speaker 6: The gallon challenge? I've done that.

00:20:58
Speaker 4: You don't even talk to me.

00:20:59
Speaker 6: Go ahead, that's on video of it.

00:21:01
Speaker 9: Thank you, Matt, take my call.

00:21:03
Speaker 10: Uh.

00:21:04
Speaker 9: I got a couple of things.

00:21:06
Speaker 6: Uh.

00:21:07
Speaker 9: One thing I liked, uh doct up they run rid up Trump's back because I'm an old guy and uh, pat Riley is my favorite player of all time. But I take so part my opinion. All may disagree. That's fine, but.

00:21:22
Speaker 11: I like it.

00:21:23
Speaker 9: Coach you take calls. Coach Pope won't take calls, and Bose Baker won't take them, and I wish you would have him on the radio Coach Pope and asked him why he won't take calls because said it's hunt fair to the fans. They've been taking calls for years. Uh, but the standards.

00:21:38
Speaker 4: All listen with you.

00:21:41
Speaker 5: I think they should take calls now to be fair to them. They did have a period where I don't think they were getting calls, and so that's partially it. But now I think people would call and they're not taking them. So I'm on your side. I mean, the whole point is it's a calling show. Respectfully, no one wants to hear him talk to Jeff Shepherd or Travis Ford or like nobody wants to hear that.

00:21:59
Speaker 4: No one on earth wants to hear that. So I'm trying.

00:22:03
Speaker 9: It's a boy. It's a boring show man. And I take the standing around. It's like when we when we pressed win, took up full court. They're standing around when they first start. They don't move, they don't set screens, they don't rebound, they stand around. Now, I've never been a coach. My son played high school ball, but I've never been a coach. But if you don't want to place what I would tell him guys before the game, you're gonna come out and I'm gonna put somebody in there. And if you want, I want to.

00:22:34
Speaker 5: Cut because I gotta go because I got no break. I'm sorry, but I appreciate. I appreciate the call. I agree with you. I think if you look Drew when we've struggled, if you go back and watch the first half, watch how many possessions we run down the court, and everybody just stands there and watches the guy dribble and when you have elite superstar players, you can do that because the one guy can beat his man off the dribble, draw the deep fence and then people.

00:23:00
Speaker 4: But we don't have that.

00:23:02
Speaker 5: So when we just stand around, we it's a disaster. And I think when we play bad, that's the common denominate. And that's not Pope's offense. It's supposed to be constant movement, reading, reacting. You're trying to find a mismatch.

00:23:12
Speaker 6: You get the defense on the hills, but when you're just standing around the perimeter, not moving, defense didn't having to work too hard.

00:23:17
Speaker 7: Can we get mass some more milk over here?

00:23:19
Speaker 6: Please?

00:23:19
Speaker 4: I mean milk the after the aftertaste.

00:23:23
Speaker 2: Too so good, nutritious and delicious.

00:23:27
Speaker 4: How many people in here like milk?

00:23:28
Speaker 6: Everybody?

00:23:29
Speaker 7: But everybody get out of here, everybody.

00:23:32
Speaker 6: Look at all you all got milk?

00:23:33
Speaker 4: Gross people. We'll take a break and be right back.

00:23:35
Speaker 5: This is Kentucky Sports Radio.

00:23:42
Speaker 9: Quarterback.

00:23:42
Speaker 4: It is Kentucky Sports Radio.

00:23:44
Speaker 5: Eight F I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. The text machine Tay is seven seven two seven seven four five two five four one person rights, Matt, your version of milk is not normal. No the person rights, Matt, that's why you are your age and single.

00:23:59
Speaker 2: I don't think because you don't like milk.

00:24:02
Speaker 6: Long take.

00:24:03
Speaker 5: I do not think my milk view has any effect on my People always say like, like your your agent single is If that's a negative, I am very happy.

00:24:15
Speaker 7: As long as you're happy, it's all the matters.

00:24:16
Speaker 4: Yes, it's not.

00:24:17
Speaker 5: I mean people say that like it would have been impossible for me to like, you.

00:24:22
Speaker 4: Could never have met a woman.

00:24:23
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's meant a few milk.

00:24:26
Speaker 4: It's not the milk that has kept it from working. It's usually other.

00:24:31
Speaker 5: Usually other things that have have been issued the milk.

00:24:35
Speaker 4: I have yet to have a relationship end in milk.

00:24:41
Speaker 7: No woman's ever said you don't like milk, I can't date you.

00:24:43
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I don't think that has a lot too.

00:24:45
Speaker 2: But you know, when we were younger, they scared us to death. We didn't drink milk. We weren't gonna grow them get strong bones.

00:24:50
Speaker 5: If you listen to the new The Interrupted podcast we did, Drew and I talked about over the years, you know, medical advice you get comes and goes, like we were talking about. Billy apparently takes a shot tu Merrick every day because he says it cleans out his gut, which was making me think about like I never heard the term gut as something anybody cared about. Like it used to be if you said gut, that just meant you're fat, right, And now it's like, oh, you got.

00:25:14
Speaker 4: To take care of your gut.

00:25:15
Speaker 5: It's probodies, and then they want you to have all this bacteria in your gut. I used to think bacteria was bad. So like, you don't just you know, just just live life. Your time is gonna hit you at some point anywhere. All right, So let's let's talk a little bit about the games that are not Kentucky. We're not gonna be on the air Monday, so before where you hear from us. Uh on Monday, we will have had the NFL playoffs and the National Championship. So let's go through them. NFL Playoffs. I'm gonna give you the game. You tell me who's gonna win. Uh, We'll start with Bill's Broncos.

00:25:46
Speaker 4: What do you got?

00:25:47
Speaker 7: I think the Broncos win, and you guys are gonna be going with Ryan on the road to.

00:25:51
Speaker 6: The Super Bowl.

00:25:52
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:25:52
Speaker 5: I got to ask yesterday if Ryan goes to the Super Bowl. You can buy his ticket. No, the answer is without question, No, what do you got. I'm gonna rush Josh Allen here. I bet against him in Jacksonville. I'mnna ride with him in Denver.

00:26:04
Speaker 2: Devin Key and the Broncos. Let's go Broncos, Broncos, Broncos.

00:26:08
Speaker 5: I'm going with Josh Allen and I'm taking the Bills along with with Drew.

00:26:12
Speaker 4: Seahawks forty nine ers Saturday nine.

00:26:14
Speaker 7: Forty nine ers, big win on the road against Philadelphia to get to this point. I'm gonna take the forty nine ers again to roll.

00:26:20
Speaker 6: Shan now splitting again. I like this one the most. I think Seahawks are gonna put it on them pretty good in the.

00:26:25
Speaker 2: Spread, like seven or something.

00:26:26
Speaker 4: Yeah, forty nine ers, Like everybody's hurt, whole team.

00:26:29
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Seahawks at home.

00:26:30
Speaker 5: I'm taking the Seahawks everybody. I mean, if they just they on anybody left. I think the Seahawks have to win. Patriots versus Texans.

00:26:38
Speaker 6: Patriots a lot of reactionary I'm going Patriots also.

00:26:43
Speaker 2: I'm going Patriots also, Houston, Texans.

00:26:45
Speaker 6: I'm taking a techown.

00:26:46
Speaker 5: I got a great defense, will Anderson might be the best defensive player in the league. Give me the Texans to go on the road and take the upset, and then my Bears against the Rams.

00:26:56
Speaker 7: I hate to say it, but Chicago is gonna be cold. LA's used to that warm weather. I'm gonna go with the Bears. I think they win.

00:27:03
Speaker 6: I wish this was the NFC championship. These are my two favorite teams in the NFC. I'm gonna go Rams, but I'm rooting for your Bears. It's been fun watching them turn things around.

00:27:12
Speaker 2: I don't know how the Bears won the game, to be honest, I don't know how they beat the Packers twice. But they're at home. It's gonna be like one degree outside. Bears will win if.

00:27:19
Speaker 4: They make the Super Bowl.

00:27:21
Speaker 5: I've committed to getting my nails painted like Caleb Williams.

00:27:26
Speaker 7: I did that on Cover zero and you gotta do the shuffle.

00:27:29
Speaker 5: No oh, I'll do that now. I'll sing you all the words to shuffle right now. But if Caleb Williams make if we make the Super Bowl, I'm going to get my nails painted well for the Super Bowl. However, I don't think that's gonna happen. I picked the Rams and the Bills when the season started. I gotta stay with it.

00:27:49
Speaker 2: You're packing your bears to lose.

00:27:50
Speaker 4: I picked them to lose last week. I know. I mean, they've been surprising me all year.

00:27:55
Speaker 5: So I'm gonna I'm gonna take the Rams to win National championship game Indiana and Miami.

00:28:00
Speaker 4: It costs seven hundred and forty seven dollars to part.

00:28:03
Speaker 5: They are saying that after the game, the prices to get into clubs in Miami if the Hurricanes win, they think might be the highest price for a Miami of nightlife. Ever, Wow, even more than like f one, aren't basil all of that? It would be if they were to win Monday Night in Indiana fans. They are expecting fifty thousand Indiana fans to go, and Miami is there. So this has got to be one of the harder tickets probably for a national championship game.

00:28:38
Speaker 6: Ever, who do you think?

00:28:39
Speaker 4: Who you think wins?

00:28:41
Speaker 7: You know, I've been pulling for Indiana all season long. I think they do it. They go perfect season, win the championship and are like the greatest story I think in sports history. They're up there in my lifetime at least.

00:28:53
Speaker 6: I think they're doing there. Yeah, I'm sidding with the home game, and it is a home game for Mendoza, who Miami did not offer for. He is gonna light up the Hurricanes.

00:29:02
Speaker 4: Yep, all right in Indiana.

00:29:04
Speaker 2: Take Indiana off that jersey. They are the best team in college football. They've been the best team. They not they ran Ohio State, they ran Alabama. They are in a role Indiana wins.

00:29:13
Speaker 5: I mean, well, they didn't run Ohio State. That game came down to the end. But but Alabama they ran. Yep, Oregon they ran, and I think they win again. I mean I think Indiana Indiana is going to for the next twenty years get coaches fired. No, I mean dead serious yea, because the excuse everybody's always had, which is well, it's mentioned the program. You can't do that now because Indiana Indiana is not just won a national chair, not going to just win.

00:29:43
Speaker 4: They're gonna have dominated to win.

00:29:46
Speaker 5: And so Kurtzignetti is going to make more coaches get fired, maybe than any coach in history, because he's so amazing.

00:29:54
Speaker 4: And if I were him, I'd win the title and I'd get out.

00:29:57
Speaker 6: Yep, make a lot of money.

00:29:59
Speaker 4: No, go the NFL.

00:30:00
Speaker 6: Yeah, right, Like, go to the NFL.

00:30:02
Speaker 5: You have you have done. What he will have done is the most unbelievable coaching. Like he can never follow this up. She might as well like, now, go do it in the NFL, and you might go down as the greatest coach in the.

00:30:13
Speaker 4: History of football.

00:30:14
Speaker 6: I completely agree. But the question is when they win it, will Signetti be part of the night life? Is he going out? Are we gonna get pictures of Signetti Club?

00:30:21
Speaker 7: I didn't know night life was even a thing anymore. Does people the people still go out? Because to Miami, Okay, I have to I was there last.

00:30:27
Speaker 6: They're still going out.

00:30:28
Speaker 4: I think it's it's a pretty big thing. Who's up next?

00:30:30
Speaker 2: Steve is up next?

00:30:32
Speaker 4: Steve? Go ahead, Steve, Matt Can you hear me?

00:30:35
Speaker 9: Hear me?

00:30:37
Speaker 6: Yes?

00:30:39
Speaker 12: Okay, man, I just want to say that I hate Tennessee. I hate Tennessee's going down. Kentucky does not take it for granted or have a hangover from the LSU game. I think we've got a real shot. And also forty nine.

00:30:58
Speaker 4: Baby all the way, Well, I mean, I don't know if there'll be a hangover.

00:31:02
Speaker 5: You've got to hope Brian, that the LSU game actually inserts some life and energy into this team and that they say, you know what, why not us?

00:31:10
Speaker 9: Right?

00:31:11
Speaker 2: You're going like you want to build off that win. I have a hangover from the win.

00:31:13
Speaker 6: You played.

00:31:14
Speaker 2: You your best basketball of the season in that second half, coming back from eighteen down. That's when you want to continue that.

00:31:19
Speaker 5: Let's talk about our next few games just for what Kentucky needs to do to make the turnament are you got at Tennessee? I still would argue this is probably our third hardest game of the year in conference.

00:31:30
Speaker 4: Alabama was the hardest.

00:31:31
Speaker 5: I would say at Arkansas is the second hardest, and this is probably the third. Then though, Texas at home, Old Miss at home, you gotta win both those.

00:31:42
Speaker 6: Would you agree, Yes?

00:31:43
Speaker 4: Yes, because that's very home coming because then you go to Vandy. So, in my opinion, to make the tournament, if you take the next four.

00:31:51
Speaker 5: Games at Tennessee, Texas at home, Oh Miss at home, at Vandy, you need to go to and two if you want to make the tournament. And I think it gonna be a lot of these to win. Those two home games drew than the two road games, but that's what you need to do.

00:32:04
Speaker 6: And Ron just mentioned the importance of stacking some wins here. If you're really gonna turn this around, what better thing to build off than that finish. We'll be talking about a decade from now. You go beat Tennessee and you can kind of block out the year up until you've had a three game winning streak and really focus on finishing strong. So carry this momentum and keep it going forward.

00:32:22
Speaker 7: Texas doesn't have a great record, but they look great against Fandy the other night. I know that was a home game, but I think they're you know, an approval.

00:32:28
Speaker 5: To listen, there is no game on our schedule that I think is an obvious.

00:32:34
Speaker 4: It's like a certain win. Yeah, no, none.

00:32:36
Speaker 5: I mean, I O miss probably on paper the easiest game of the year. But they won at Georgia. George's right, and they won at Georgia the other.

00:32:46
Speaker 6: Night, So what leads the country in scoring? It's crazy to say that out loud, is that right? Number one?

00:32:51
Speaker 5: I did not know that you can stock your freezer with beef from no Cha lend to farms. Listen, we had last night at Trivia and Australian guys in town said, I've never eaten here before, which I get. I said, get our burgers because of no Chay Linda at Kspar. He was like, dude, it's one of the best burgers I've ever had. That's exactly right, and it's we do a good job cook. But really it's no Ja Linda Farms Beef. They're great. The environment that cows raised in is cleaner, safer than commercial beef. When you buy no Cha Linda Kentucky prow Partner, you are supporting local business. No Cha Linda Beef drives for twenty four days. You can get it at kspar, or you can get it at your house. No Cha Linda Farms dot com, n O C C H E Linda Farms dot com or eight five nine seven oh seven, seven thousand and four at no Cha Linda Farms. We'll take a break and be right back at wild Eggs here and takes Greek. Final segment coming up, it's KSR work it back. It is Kite Sports Radio eight five nine two aight oh twenty two eighty seven. The text machine is seven seven two seven seven four five two five four.

00:33:49
Speaker 4: One of the people who were excuse me, the UK football.

00:33:53
Speaker 5: Account just tweet it out, feed the stud find the studs, turns in to feed the studs, which means they probably got a commitment here in just a little bit.

00:34:03
Speaker 4: Well, it might even come out in the next five or six minutes. We'll see.

00:34:07
Speaker 6: Maybe it's the one you reported earlier. You know, you broke the kid that put it in his bio. Car Huh, the car kid that put in his bio. You're like, I'm just gonna go ahead and claim it.

00:34:15
Speaker 4: Well, I mean I'm claiming him. I don't know if that means.

00:34:17
Speaker 6: That a stud.

00:34:19
Speaker 7: I mean he is to me, sure, I know it.

00:34:21
Speaker 6: You know, it's more important to get players and win games. But I'm really enjoying just their fan engagement online. The last stuff. I don't think knew they had a Twitter account. In fact, Mark Stoops was even shadow band on Twitter, or if he did tweet, you can't really see it. But this group is like they posted Jared Lorenz and highlights and stuff. Will did that video? You know that's small stuff in a shadow band. Yeah, Like, I mean he fire off. One tweet did have thirty views, and Vince was the only one with a Twitter account of that staff. And it's not about Twitter. We want to win games, but I like that this staff has been very active, even the assistants or like tweeting out pictures of former players and stuff.

00:34:53
Speaker 5: Who's gonna be our best player tomorrow for Kentucky versus Tennessee?

00:34:58
Speaker 6: Great question.

00:34:59
Speaker 2: I mean, it's gotta the old way. The way he's playing, He's had a lot of twenty points in four straight SEC games. He's he's our stud.

00:35:05
Speaker 6: You know, you feed the stud.

00:35:06
Speaker 2: He is our stud, and he's got to continue to play that way.

00:35:08
Speaker 7: Yeah, he was sick last game, still got twenty one points, So I'm gonna hope that he's feeling better tomorrow.

00:35:13
Speaker 5: And that hasn't gotten discussed a lot, was the fact that he was sick during that game.

00:35:17
Speaker 4: I mean twenty one points. Why sick?

00:35:19
Speaker 5: He scored at least twenty points in all four SEC games. First guy at Kentucky to do that since Jody Meeks. He's on pace to be all SEC. Just so you know, when I was looking at the all time point list, I don't think people realize if Otega finishes the season on the same pace he does he has, he's gonna be pretty high on the UK all time pointless because he's gonna have played two years. If you're talking like post cal Perrier, he's gonna end up being one of our highest scores after because he's played two years.

00:35:50
Speaker 6: If I'm not mistaken, last year he even including Cal finished with one of the highest points per game averages for a season. And now if he can keep it going the way has the first four games to start, s see you, I expect him to finish strong. If you're right in that conversation, Yeah.

00:36:03
Speaker 5: I want to look because I think people will be shocked at some of the names he is up against if he continues at this pace. I think I think people will be very surprised. Who's up next?

00:36:13
Speaker 2: Sue is up next?

00:36:15
Speaker 6: Sue?

00:36:15
Speaker 4: Go ahead, Sue?

00:36:18
Speaker 11: Hello, man uh, I need to know?

00:36:22
Speaker 6: Hello, Sue?

00:36:23
Speaker 4: How are you?

00:36:25
Speaker 11: I need to know? Trent Noah is never mentioned.

00:36:31
Speaker 4: Well because he doesn't play.

00:36:32
Speaker 5: Primarily that's the biggest reason, but also just I mean to be honest with you, Sue, he just hasn't He hasn't done a lot right, Well.

00:36:44
Speaker 11: How could you do any day if you don't play.

00:36:48
Speaker 6: Well.

00:36:48
Speaker 5: I also think about when he's played kind of what he's been. I think that's really where the big.

00:36:54
Speaker 10: Issue is he had as many good games as the other some of the others, he is the Athley one who is not getting to play as there nobody mentioned the reesas.

00:37:09
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I understand, Sue, I get it. It's nice to hear from you, and I appreciate the call. So I'm gonna I'm gonna give you just some names that if if let's just say Otega Oway, Uh, let's say he averages.

00:37:22
Speaker 4: Us, say, twenty points a game for the rest of the year. Is that is that a fair Is that a fair number?

00:37:29
Speaker 6: Right now?

00:37:30
Speaker 5: Yeah, So let's just say that he averages twenty points a game. So that would put him about he would finish about seventieth all time in scoring.

00:37:40
Speaker 4: He would be right next to Travis Ford.

00:37:42
Speaker 5: Here's who if O Way did that, here's who he would have scored more points than their career.

00:37:47
Speaker 6: Are you ready ready?

00:37:48
Speaker 5: Walter McCarty, Marquis Estell, Larry Conley, PJ. Washington, Anthony Epps, Willie Cauley, Stein, Cliff Hawkins, Tyler, Eu, Lisz Nazi, Mohammad An Twin Walker, Aaron Andrew Harrison, Shaun Woods. If he were to average twenty points a game, he would pass all of those names I said in career scoring, I don't think people would realize that he would be that high up on.

00:38:12
Speaker 4: The scoring lift.

00:38:13
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have thought that, you know, because some of those guys you mentioned played here four years will take you just two years in the same category that I guess Antoine played two years, and the Harris and twins.

00:38:22
Speaker 4: And yeah, but I mean more than Tyler Ulis.

00:38:24
Speaker 5: I mean, would you have thought walker Mark McCarty played here three years?

00:38:28
Speaker 4: Like that's a really surprising Your.

00:38:30
Speaker 6: Players you named surprised me. The two year if he keeps us spit last year was really I mean, well, I think if Murray might be the only one that has averaged more points than him in the season in a long time. And he had that run of twenty points a game for however many was that was a record. So I'm not surprised at all these in the two year conversation. But McCarty and the guys Ford those surprise me a little bit.

00:38:48
Speaker 4: Let me read you real quick.

00:38:50
Speaker 5: The only two year players at Kentucky that would have more points than a way if he finishes at this pace, Bill Spivey. Bill Spivey has the most points ever in two years, you know who's second?

00:39:03
Speaker 4: Just tall you a guess?

00:39:03
Speaker 5: Any can anybody think of who the second highest scoring two year player in UK history is? Antonio Reeves. Wow, we are going to all be underestimated. And Antonio Reeves, by the way, remember really didn't play the first half of his first year. Antonio Reeves, then Oscar Sheebwey, Rex Chapman, Terrence Jones, Doron Lamb, Ron Mercer, those would be the only players in UK history with more points in o way. And I will note Doron Lamb and a couple of those guys played a lot more games because we would have advanced more in the tournament uh drew than we probably will in these two years.

00:39:39
Speaker 6: And you know, twenty a game moving forward, teams high, but him turning the corner when we got the sec play, I expect him to be close to it. He has completely flipped the switch from when we were a little down on him earlier in the season.

00:39:50
Speaker 4: Antonio Reeves, Shannon, Yeah, that high.

00:39:53
