00:01:06
Speaker 4: I have number two Tucky Sports Radio. A couple open lines.

00:01:09
Speaker 5: Give us a shout eight five to nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. Text machine is seven seven two seven seven four five two five four. Mark Stoops is on here UH tomorrow. So got some breaking news, Shandon, I think is kind of interesting. Now, Okay, running on a h Steph Curry announces he is going to take on the role while he plays for Golden State as the assistant GM for Davidson Basketball. And he will also be donating over ten million dollars to NIL for Davidson over the next teen Wow. Over the next five years, excuse me, and UH will be assistant GM to help in the targeting and recruiting of players. How about that.

00:01:54
Speaker 2: Wow at a place like Davidson, that's huge for somebody.

00:01:57
Speaker 5: I mean, you gotta think of stet. I mean, how many schools in Davidson's league. I guess they're in the A ten now. But I mean I'd still say, even if he gives a million dollars a year, Drew, He's gonna I mean, they're gonna have more inile funds than most of the teams they play against. And then you have Steph Curry as your GM, Like, that's pretty big for Davidson basketball, don't you think.

00:02:18
Speaker 6: Heck yeah, I mean saying kids down to three schools, all right, Steph, pick up the phone, make one call. I'd have a lot of influence on that. And helping with n Il. You know, he's got his own shoe. There's several ways he can give them a big bump.

00:02:31
Speaker 4: Yeah, I hope, I hope that keeps coming.

00:02:33
Speaker 5: Shannon. I think we have some players that played h Yeah, you know, Shay the G and GIL just stands for general manager Alexander or something. You know. I'm gonna be interested to see, as a completely side note, as we get into the offseason, how Pope is managing this roster. And you know a lot of schools are hiring official GMS and we don't really have that. We have kind of some people sharing that role, but it's not really their title. I'm gonna be really interested to see see what happens. I was talking to someone this weekend that's kind of familiar with the Nile thing that basically said, look, we've got the funds to be as competitive as anyone in the country. The thing we don't know, Drew, is what the market is like. You know, the price for freshmen went up by a decent amount this year over last. Does it happen again with transfers? And what does that mean? So I think it's gonna be interesting to see. I think one of the things that maybe hurt them with Caleb Wilson, we'll see what happens with Nate Amen, is that the price for these kids kind of went up in a way that people didn't foresee. It'll be interesting to see if that happens for transfers in college. I don't see, Drew, why it wouldn't, to be honest with.

00:03:52
Speaker 6: You, Yeah, And there's just so much more pressure to make sure you're hitting on the right guy. If you're writing it's checks as big as some of these guys are gonna command, and then when it's coming down to the dollar, you're gonna need something a little bit to give you separation. If everybody's just writing checks and the suggestion you just made about following Curry's footsteps, if we have a Devin Booker helping out, throwing in some shoes and making phone calls or shay, you gotta have something that sets you apart in addition to having the bank account.

00:04:17
Speaker 4: We can't shit and have Reed Shepherd calling and going, well, I'm kind of torn.

00:04:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I played at Kentucky, but I've got a really good former coach at Arkansas.

00:04:27
Speaker 7: So what you want to do?

00:04:28
Speaker 2: So, so what happened if one of our former players does that for caliperiod Arkansas?

00:04:33
Speaker 4: And I mean, it'll be bad. You saw what happened with Reid.

00:04:35
Speaker 5: It'll be worse, right, I mean that's just you know, guys like these dudes that played here, you go, you have guys like Willie who was like, I'm Kentucky period. You're gonna have other guys who do like Reid, who sort of kind of try as long as cows the coach to walk the line. But what I would say to all these guys just as a friendly thing, and obviously I'm biased because I'm a Kentucky person, but you got a long life ahead of you, and John cal Perry is not gonna coach forever, right, and you gotta be Kentucky first. Like I'm not saying you don't help out your coach, but like you know, in thirty years, Arkansas is not bringing you in if you didn't play there.

00:05:21
Speaker 4: They're just not whereas Kentucky is Ryan and so I just.

00:05:26
Speaker 5: You know, I get it. I get you love your coach. I don't even mind you going and visiting all that. But at the end of the day, you have one home, right, you have one home, and I hope they remember that because that really is ultimately the final thing.

00:05:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is interesting, and some of these players they do feel that. I think, like you said, Willie, other guys, I'm not so sure, you know, I don't know if I'm just gonna throw him out there. Don't know Emmanuel Quickly's ever been back, you know, guys like that. Some guys never come back. But yeah, the other guys come back, allay el sudden.

00:05:54
Speaker 5: But life's long, right, maybe they do when they're forty five, you know. I mean there's yeah, life like you know, everybody's different. But I do think, yes, to answer somebody's question, I remember, for it, Drew or saying if somebody came in and one of them became the assistant GM for Arkansas, I don't think our people would forget that, although they we did forget, Like I think Drew, nobody's mad at Tyler ulis right.

00:06:21
Speaker 6: Now that's a guy trying to start a career and going to the best opportunity for him as assistant coach. I don't know whatever other offers he had, but in that case, following Cal to be a part of you know, Cal's got this big coaching tree out there. To be a part of that, I could see why he would have to follow him.

00:06:37
Speaker 5: Right, I want to go out. I want to do a couple of little sports controversies and get your alls take out. Let's start with this one. Shannon Uh Lebron confronted steven A on the sidelines before a Lakers game and basically said, keep my kid's name out your mouth and essentially said stop.

00:06:58
Speaker 4: He was mad that he was criticized Lebron for his son and being in the league and all that stuff, and he confronted him on the sideline.

00:07:06
Speaker 5: Fair or foul.

00:07:08
Speaker 7: I'm going foul on Lebron's part.

00:07:09
Speaker 3: Look, I'm not a fan of steven A Smith, but Lebron, your son is in the NBA. It's not like he's picking on your kid who's in high school. He's now an NBA player. He's on the same playing field as everybody else in the NBA. So if he can be critical of Lebron, he can be critical of Lebron's son, Drew.

00:07:28
Speaker 6: Yeah, Lebron's way in the wrong. And this plays out exactly how we all expected. When a year ago he's saying, my son's better than half the league. I'm gonna do anything to play with my son. He set him up for this criticism where he's now in the G League and he's doing all right in the G League, but you're gonna get talked about, especially when Lebron built him up as much as he did without even having to do that. So I think Lebron's absolutely the wrong Bron. He's a grown man. He's gonna have to live with people being critical of him for the rest of his career. You don't have to call him out and get face to face like that.

00:07:56
Speaker 5: Ryan, You're a dad. I know.

00:07:58
Speaker 2: I think you guys may think that I may be taking Lebron's side, but I'm foul just because one where it was on the sideline at a game. Come on, man, you know where Stephen A. Smith is If you got a problem, whether you can contact him some other way than doing it on the sideline of a game. And two like Drew said, Brown, he's a grown man now. He chose to play in the NBA. He chose this route, and so you gotta be uping for the criticism that comes along with it.

00:08:20
Speaker 8: Sometimes.

00:08:20
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree with all of you. I mean, Stephen A a lot of his comments I think go across the line about players. I think he's gotten way full of himself. With that said, you put your kid in the NBA, this what's gonna happen. Like he wasn't ready. Not only was he not ready, you got him drafted to your team with the biggest spotlight. And this is exactly. This was so predictable. Like this was so predictable. You cannot get angry for what you caused to happen. All right, let's go to the next one. Draymond Shannon and Carl Towns. Carl Towns missed a game against Golden State. Draymond goes on a podcast and says, I heard he's not coming because he's scared of Jimmy, but because they had some difficulties when they both played in Minnesota. Turns out he was at a funeral Carl Town's for a family friend. When Draymond's asked about it, He basically goes, oh, I didn't know that. Well, the Draymond and Baron Davis podcast will go on, right, doesn't even He says he's sorry that he had to go to the funeral, but did not apologize for saying it. I have strong feelings about this, but I will not spoil the pot, Shannon. I'll let you go first.

00:09:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, Draymond's an idiot. He opened his mouth and put his foot right in there. I mean, you gotta know what you're talking about before you come on a podcast and just start ripping into somebody for missing a game. I think it's a horrible look on his part and he should apologize he's wrong.

00:09:46
Speaker 5: True.

00:09:48
Speaker 8: Uh one, this is big.

00:09:49
Speaker 6: I didn't know Baron Davis was on the podcast, so I learned that through this it's gonna go on.

00:09:53
Speaker 5: I mean Bart Oatmeal, that's his rap name, Bart Oakmeal, which I learned too, So.

00:09:58
Speaker 6: I guess it's gonna go on now that I know about it. But Draymond had a chance to give a good apology there. He sent some condolences, but then just blowing past it, not really taking it back and saying the show will go on.

00:10:09
Speaker 4: Uh.

00:10:09
Speaker 6: Jerk moved by him he could have handled that much better and shown a little more sympathy to the situation.

00:10:14
Speaker 8: Admitted being wrong.

00:10:16
Speaker 2: Ryan from somebody that says stupid stuff regularly and have stuff come out of their mouth that is really wrong sometimes, he, like Drew said, he had the chance to apologize and make good on it, especially since Carl's family friend was a female died young of cancer. I mean, come on, man, show some compassion. Be a human being. Don't be such a jerk.

00:10:34
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, he made the little comment. Whatever. The worst thing that could happen is you get you know, something like that is why I missed. I would shan and feel amazingly bad if I were Draymond, right, Like, if I made a joke and then it turned out something so, I would like fallow over myself to apology, right, I'd be like so sorry, I'd call Carl, I'd like send flowers to the funeral. I would feel really bad. The idea that he just goes well, I'm saying, you know, I hate that that happened, but then promotes his podcast at the end of it. That's what I say, And.

00:11:10
Speaker 4: When you the show will go on.

00:11:12
Speaker 5: What a jerk. That is one of the biggest jerk moves I've ever seen. And Draymond thinks he's Charles Barkley, right, Like, that's what he thinks. But the thing about Charles Barkley is he can say stuff, but he's got a heart. He's empathetic, he's kind, and that's why people like it. Draymond is a jerk, And I thought that was what If I was Carl Town's I would punch that dude in the face, right like, I mean that to me, that was an all timer some you know, you make jokes sometimes they don't work, but you have to apologize, and to not apologize and then double down I just thought was hideous. Last thing, Michigan Michigan State Senior Day. I don't know if you saw this Shitnon Michigan State beats Michigan. They have this thing at the end of Senior Day whereas they walk the court, their players kissed the logo as they walk. It's like a tradition under Tom Izzo. They're winning the game, they called you know they have the foul to do that. They walk off to kiss the court. Michigan players are standing on the logo refuse to move while they kiss the court. Then one of the other players comes for Michigan State and basically pushes the Michigan guys to get them off the logo. In a fight ensuits. Who's it fault the Michigan guys for standing on the logo or the Michigan State people for thinking people need to get off the logo while they kiss the floor.

00:12:31
Speaker 3: Michigan's wrong, you got your butt kicked, Get off the floor. I mean, I guess with Michigan players standing there, if Michigan State came up to kiss the logo, if you like they were kissing their feet.

00:12:41
Speaker 5: So Michigan players say, this is where we stand every free throw? Why do we have to move because it's senior day? Does that change your mind at all?

00:12:49
Speaker 3: I think you should. Well, I think you should probably respect that tradition. But I understand though I do get it, you know, Michigan being contrary about the whole situation.

00:13:00
Speaker 5: But what about you, Drew.

00:13:03
Speaker 8: I mean, they shouldn't have done it.

00:13:04
Speaker 6: This one doesn't bother me as much as other two examples in this Are you a jerk game? I mean, it's it's a rivalry. That's some good rivalrying there. But when they lose by like twenty. I think it just makes them look look worse that the outcome was. But it was I would I would have moved. But it doesn't upset me too much if they did it, because that's part of being rivals.

00:13:22
Speaker 5: Ryan, Yeah, that's what I was gonna say.

00:13:23
Speaker 2: Man, you just got your ass whooped. You were getting down by twenty points. Respect your opponent. Man. You know I said this about when the Auburn kids pulled the belt out, just you got it. There's a level of respecting to show your opponent a little bit, and you don't be doing that on their home floor.

00:13:36
Speaker 5: No.

00:13:37
Speaker 4: I was actually okay with the Auburn thing.

00:13:40
Speaker 5: This one, to me is different because the game's going on and like you said, Drew, they're getting crushed, you know they it makes them just look patty. If they had won the game, I don't know, maybe it wouldn't have bothered me as much. But you're losing by twenty points, like, you can just scoot off the logo. It's okay now that what dude, it just comes in just chuck some Shannon. Yeah, sure that's okay either, But but I think you probably just get off the logo. Let them have their Senior Day moment, we let the kid from Missouri have his Shannon didn't cry, and everybody else liked it. Yeah, so I think it would have been Okay, who's next, Feral? Go ahead, Farrell, Hey, what's up?

00:14:22
Speaker 9: First of all, Draymond talks, Nobody likes him. I know yesterday you were looking for people to comment on s i U E. I'm from Central Illinois and when we were growing up, that was known as like the party school in the Midwest.

00:14:37
Speaker 5: Okay, well, I'm going I want to talk about si U E because we have a we have a savant on this show who brought him up? Brought them up? But I will wait and do that in a second. I appreciate the call. If you're scoring big in college basketball going into March Madness, how about with the Draft Kings sportsbook.

We'll take a break, be right back. It's Kentucky Sports Radio, Welcome back and Turkey Sports Radio. If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven text machine seven seven two seven seven four five two five four. One person writes, Matt, I love listening to the show. I like how you all say that Draymond shouldn't say something on a podcast without knowing the information. Don't you all do that every day? Yes?

00:15:49
Speaker 2: Then when we're wrong, we apologize.

00:15:51
Speaker 4: That's right we The only difference is we apologize.

00:15:54
Speaker 5: That's a big difference, Right we apologize. I'm not gonna say that's a huge difference.

00:15:59
Speaker 6: Joking about let me find out it's a funeral. I think whatever you thought, you stop everything like you said, and go out of your way.

00:16:06
Speaker 5: Different at that point, one person writes Danny Hurley last night on sixty Minutes that half of his players would get the portal after this year. He was using his example say what's wrong with college basketball? Well, get over it, Danny Hurley, Like, you know, that's the sport now, and if you don't like it, you don't have to do it. I Shaneon, I know I've said this a lot. I am so tired of these coaches whining about the portal. It really drives me crazy. Like nobody's making you do this, dude, right, yeah, don't do something else.

00:16:35
Speaker 3: It's all the old school coaches. And you know, to Rick Patino's credit, he seems like he's making it work.

00:16:40
Speaker 7: One that has made it work.

00:16:41
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, go look at the top teams in America this year. You have two different groups of people. Okay, you got the young guys who are new who were making things happen, John Shire, uh Nate Oates, Mart Pope, et cetera. And then you got some old guys who've learned to kind of a just to the system. Rick Patino, tom Izzo, Bruce Pearl. So like, you can make it work or you can just whine. But like the whining is so useless. It's not going to change.

00:17:13
Speaker 4: And you know, Jay Billis had a great point.

00:17:15
Speaker 5: I thought in an interview Ryan, he said, you know, these coaches all say it's the wild wild West that people can go do what they want. He goes, you know what else is the wild wild West? Life? Okay? You know life? That's what the market is, the market for better or worse. The free market is the wild wild West. And like if that now it's happening with college basketball, and you you know, there's a lot of different ways to do it. You know, the two teams that spent the most money on n Aisle this year drew Arkansas in Kansas, and they've both had disappointing years. So it's not just about spending money. It's also drew about how you spend it.

00:17:57
Speaker 6: And with Hurley, is he not the best bleeping coaching the game? Don't turn your back on me. Didn't he just say that a few weeks ago? If you just said that, hasn't he won two championships since the portal era started? Like, maybe you're just whining because you haven't figured it out this year, so you seem to like him until this point.

00:18:14
Speaker 5: I get some of the frustrations with football coaches because they got to deal with like eighty five.

00:18:18
Speaker 4: People, but chennon, you got a roster of twelve dudes.

00:18:21
Speaker 5: Like, if you can't keep up with twelve dudes, and that's on you, man, Like howbout you know? It ain't that many guys, so like, either handle it or don't. But the whining is just incessant to me. It drives me crazy.

00:18:33
Speaker 3: He's the whining nos whiner that ever whining too. I mean, he is just obnoxious at this point.

00:18:38
Speaker 5: So yeah, it would have been fascinating to see what would have happened here because our fans would have loved the winning, but they would have been like, dudes, shut up. Yeah all right, let's see who's made the tournament so far. High point Ryan Tubby Smith's school made the tournament for the first time in their history. Does that make you excited?

00:18:56
Speaker 2: It does? Yeah, the fighting Tubby Smiths. You know, they've been here up recently when Tubby was there, so I kind of, I don't know, maybe feel a little fondness for a high point. That's Tubby's old.

00:19:05
Speaker 5: Skill to me too. And they've never made it until until that Lipscomb, who I feel like Drew makes it almost every year they pulled an upset but your North Alabama whatevers that I have the sweatshirt of. And now they're in the in the tournament as well.

00:19:20
Speaker 6: I think it's only their second time though. Weren't they at another level? I mean, they've been a pretty good program that.

00:19:26
Speaker 5: Yeah, they almost they would feel like the final four of the n I t didn't they a few.

00:19:29
Speaker 8: Couple of years ago.

00:19:31
Speaker 6: I've got a little soft spot for lips gonna be in Nashville. We have friends that went there. I thought that was pretty cool for them to win. And then I saw their players break down crying at the end about going to the big Dance, So I thought that was a cool moment.

00:19:43
Speaker 5: Drake is, Actually, they're in the tournament now, winning the Missouri Valley and they're really good, like really good. They're gonna end up being like an eleven seed, and you do not want to be the sixth that catches them and has a three seed. If there are eleven seed, Mark Pope's probably gonna have to play for them because they may end up being team you play in the second round. They are really good.

00:20:03
Speaker 8: Omaha, Shannon, Yeah, the.

00:20:05
Speaker 5: Outrunners school beating up the trash cans, they make the fire, they make the tournament.

00:20:11
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be pulling for him big. When game was.

00:20:14
Speaker 5: Over, the ad, the coach, and the school president beat up the trash can. The school president did a full frog splash on the trash can after the game, and Omaha is in the tournament for the first time ever.

00:20:28
Speaker 3: They have become one of the most lovable teams in college basketball, all thanks to.

00:20:32
Speaker 7: Some OVW guys. So they need to bring them on the road for their first game.

00:20:36
Speaker 5: How about the Outrunners making Omaha America's favorite team? And then finally on Friday, nothing blew my mind more than Ryan Lemon knowing Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville and they win the OVC after the bump they make it first time they've ever made the tournament as well. Are you excited about your whatever the name of that team.

00:21:03
Speaker 2: They're the Cougars, the Fighting Cougars. Yeah, absolutely? How about you know and Shannon I talked about this after I pulled that out of my rear. We used to play them in baseball. They used to be Division two, so we used to Kentucky West. He used to play them, used to play them, so I'm a little.

00:21:16
Speaker 8: Familiar with them. And then they used to be.

00:21:18
Speaker 2: They've were in the OLB for a while. They've been in the conference like fifteen years, I think. But I had no idea they were good.

00:21:25
Speaker 5: Well, they were good for the first time. We had their coach on my ESPN show yesterday. He was a nice guy and uh, we went through their famous alumni. They don't have many. The only one they had Drew was Catherine Madigan, who was on Last Comic Standing. And I don't even know who that is, but that was the only person of any note that went to that school.

00:21:45
Speaker 6: Sounds like Ryan Lemon might be one of their famous fans. Then I liked the story with the scissors with their coach. I don't know if that came up on your show. He hanging in the locker room for six years, finally gout for.

00:21:54
Speaker 5: Six years he had scissors hanging in the lockero and said we're going to use these one day. He got to use them Saturday night in the OVC cools. That is cool. Who's up there?

00:22:04
Speaker 3: I do want to update you too on High Points record. They're now thirty and five, Matt, just so you know, Uh, let's go to Jake's right.

00:22:12
Speaker 5: I forgot Jake go ahead Jake.

00:22:16
Speaker 10: With some guys. I just want to shout out my first time long time who are I just want to shout out.

00:22:21
Speaker 5: My dad, Mike.

00:22:22
Speaker 10: He's listening to you guys for six or seven years. And I remember you talking about like a week or two ago about how like new people or new like younger audiences. And I'm a student at Kentucky, and uh, the reason why the younger people are listening is honestly because of our parents. Because we're in the cards that our parents were young listening to you guys, and then now that we're driving, I'd rather turn on the podcast instead of listening to music. So I just want to shout out you guys and shout out my dad.

00:22:50
Speaker 4: Mike, thank you very much. I think that that is a big part of it.

00:22:54
Speaker 5: People. We now have listeners who grew up literally since they were little kids listening, which is crazy to me that those people are now old enough to be in college or or older, but really really appreciate it. They five nine, two, eight oh, twenty two eighty seven when we come back, the girls Sweet sixteen is set, Ryan Lemon. If anybody can tell you who's gonna win, it'll be them. Plus more on the SEC tournament. How far can we go? Can we get to the finals? Why not? We might as well make a run. We're nineteen to one to win it. We'll be right back KSR.

First of all, who warned you that? Did I not say that? Months ago? I told you all, I told you all get your eggs. I okay, So now now the egg prices are the highest in history? Does that affect you at all? Yes? He was all upset about eggs.

00:24:09
Speaker 7: Love eggs.

00:24:09
Speaker 3: I'm on a hard boiled egg kick lately. I don't know why, but I like hard boiled eggs.

00:24:15
Speaker 7: Yeah.

00:24:16
Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna go get a hen and have my own eggs in the backyard.

00:24:20
Speaker 5: I did see somebody on TV or like somebody with the government, was like, what should you tell people about egg prices?

00:24:25
Speaker 4: They're like, get eggs, get like chickens and hens.

00:24:28
Speaker 7: Into the yards, that's what we should buy.

00:24:30
Speaker 5: I was like, I don't feel like that's a I don't feel like that's a good advice though I don't I don't need chickens in my yard. Does it affect you all? Drew Ryan, see, I don't really eat eggs, so it doesn't affect me. Does it affect you all?

00:24:42
Speaker 8: I had a lot of eggs.

00:24:43
Speaker 6: I went to uh Whole food yesterday bought some eggs, and you know, I had to make a little bit of a business decision there.

00:24:49
Speaker 8: I had to think about, well, what was in the bank account?

00:24:51
Speaker 4: How much? Like how much? How much are eggs?

00:24:54
Speaker 5: Now? What's what's the cost?

00:24:56
Speaker 6: I got the Whole Foods brand yesterday. I think it was about six bucks for twelve.

00:25:01
Speaker 5: For twelve, so it's fifty cents an egg. Yeah, so fifty cents an egg. Now, that does seem like a lot for an egg.

00:25:09
Speaker 2: A lot of stores now have like signs up limit two cartons of eggs that's it. That's all you can take.

00:25:14
Speaker 5: Oh, they'll only let you buy two cartons.

00:25:16
Speaker 7: Who's four more than that?

00:25:18
Speaker 5: Okay, so what do you have to do?

00:25:19
Speaker 4: Like get kids outside to go in with them?

00:25:22
Speaker 5: Yeah, well you know what, I'm gonna go in with three and say, well, you're gonna stop me for getting three cartons of eggs.

00:25:28
Speaker 3: I mean you're gonna be scanning yourself out anyway. Who's counting the.

00:25:31
Speaker 4: So what were they like? What were they like ten years ago?

00:25:34
Speaker 5: Like? What was it like for twelve eggs? Like ten years ago? Like three dollars? Two dollars?

00:25:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, three dollars in something even less if you get them on sale? Yeah, like the generic egg Yeah.

00:25:45
Speaker 6: I know people who live in like downtown Lexington, not really downtown but inside New Circle that have chickens in their backyard.

00:25:52
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I've heard that.

00:25:54
Speaker 4: I can.

00:25:55
Speaker 5: I don't understand why. Well, I mean maybe this is why. But from this, did they stink? I would think they stink.

00:26:03
Speaker 6: I think the noise in the morning is the only inconvenience. Otherwise you just go get your fresh eggs whenever they're ready.

00:26:09
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, well the girl sweet sixteen, Ryan, let's quickly go through. You're gonna make some picks, all right. It starts Wednesday. Ashland opens up with North Laurel, two mountain teams. Who you got?

Speaker 5: Henderson and Marshall Drew. I'll let you pick this. Two teams from Western Kentucky coming up here.

00:27:44
Speaker 6: You know, I grew up as a Henderson rival, but their their girls team has been good for a while. I'm gonna pick them here, and their boys are knocking on the door after not being in Lexington for several years. So I watch out for both Henderson's this season.

00:27:55
Speaker 4: Danville Christian and Davis County.

00:27:58
Speaker 5: I didn't know Danville Christian was a school, so are you're gonna pick them right.

00:28:02
Speaker 2: Yes, they have won the twelfth region the last two years in a row. They they've got some really really tall girl. She's like six four or six five. She's really huge. They're both boys and girls. Teams have got like some transfers from like Africa, and that's really changed their program completely.

00:28:34
Speaker 11: I'm doing good. I'm doing a little bit better since grew picture gets Marshall. I still got some sports hate from them canceling the the when coach Caliperry was here last year? What did they cared?

00:28:52
Speaker 5: What did they what did they can?

00:28:55
Speaker 11: They canceled his They canceled his calling show man. Remember I called you about that?

00:29:01
Speaker 5: You're still up saying so you're you're saying the local Marshall County radio station canceled John cal Perry's calling show.

00:29:12
Speaker 11: I told you that last year.

00:29:13
Speaker 9: You don't remember, Jake, I don't remember.

00:29:15
Speaker 5: No I don't remember every single call, uh that that you make.

00:29:24
Speaker 11: Yes, Yes, that's that's what happened last year.

00:29:28
Speaker 5: Okay, Jake, go ahead, all right, go ahead? What did.

00:29:37
Speaker 11: I'm I'm hopeful that I'm hopeful that Kerkkrisa will be our will be our point guard next year? Be a point guard next year?

00:29:45
Speaker 5: What do you think?

00:29:46
Speaker 11: Where do you think that happened?

00:30:02
Speaker 8: Wow, Ron was losing it over here.

00:30:05
Speaker 5: Twice. Did you all remember that Marshall County's radio station canceled the John Caliperry? Remember that, Drew?

00:30:14
Speaker 4: Did you remember that from last year?

00:30:16
Speaker 6: I didn't remember it, But I feel like he shouldn't take that out on the girls high school basketball teams rowed him up. I don't think like these two things are correlated.

00:30:25
Speaker 5: Jake runs out on the floor shit and the Marshall County girls team and Jake just stands up and goes.

00:30:32
Speaker 4: And They look at him like, why are you doing us?

00:30:34
Speaker 5: Your your radio station?

00:30:36
Speaker 3: What do you think he ran this col show anyway and he didn't miss anything. What do you think he's gonna say? They're not robots, they don't blue wise cream.

00:30:44
Speaker 5: I think I think Jake should just just take it out on all Marshall County teams.

00:30:49
Speaker 8: He was standing on their logo on Senior.

00:30:53
Speaker 5: Just be furious at them all the time. Who's next? Nick?

00:31:04
Speaker 2: Nate?

00:31:05
Speaker 5: Go ahead?

00:31:07
Speaker 12: My name is Nate. Jud and A played over at Trenty a few years ago and some of my good Kentucky friends that sent me to podcast last week, you guys were talking about semester basketball, so I thought I have to.

00:31:17
Speaker 4: Holler, yeah, Ryan was Ryan was a big fan of yours.

00:31:21
Speaker 5: Ryan, you are you? What did you you remember? Nate right? Oh?

00:31:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just mispronounced his name was I'm sure to pronounce his last name. But he was a great player training.

00:31:30
Speaker 12: I wanted to thank you. You're the closest one. Uh so I appreciate that. But obviously we had the opportunity to go play at Kentucky twice in college and uh.

00:31:39
Speaker 5: Where did you play in college. Where did you play in college?

00:31:43
Speaker 12: Yeah, Boston University, where Ricketino coached his first gig.

00:31:46
Speaker 4: Oh you were in Boston.

00:31:47
Speaker 2: Here?

00:31:48
Speaker 5: Is that the Terriers? Is that right?

00:31:51
Speaker 12: Just the fiercest Uh you know?

00:31:53
Speaker 5: Uh god, I remember that from beston Show. Well, uh, well, it's nice to hear from you as a former mister basketball.

00:32:01
Speaker 4: Let me ask you a questions The mister basketball is.

00:32:03
Speaker 5: Like, do you all ever have like a reunion or do you get a commercial like they do with the Heisman winners?

00:32:08
Speaker 4: Like is there any sort of camaraderie?

00:32:12
Speaker 12: Well, I know it's a comparable award, you know what I mean.

00:32:14
Speaker 5: It is terrible war Yes.

00:32:19
Speaker 12: Those award guys, But no, not really. I kind of lost touch and I never really felt like there was one before. Ye but no, maybe I should check in out.

00:32:26
Speaker 5: There should be. There should be. You know, Max Duffy won the Ray Guy Award for Best Punter and Drew they have a they have a Best a Ray Guy Award group text where like you guys like will send jokes to each other, like sixty five year old punter will send a joke. I've always thought that was kind of funny that the ra they had a ray Guy group text. You should start a mister basketball group text.

00:32:54
Speaker 12: Well I'm the least of them for sure, but I'll look into it. I'll see how I can get a hold of all right.

00:32:58
Speaker 5: I appreciate to appreciate the call. I always thought that was kind of funny Drew that they had a ray guy like. You know, there'd be like eighty year old men on it and then twenty one year old Australians and they'd all be on the same text for it.

00:33:10
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean half of them are Australian here lately, so it can probably get thrown off on tome zones if they've moved back home. But I do think Nate should reach out to it, to Richie Farmer and Winston Bennett and JR.

00:33:20
Speaker 8: Vanbus and get this group text.

00:33:22
Speaker 5: I think there needs to be a group text. We should get a group text. And who was the Dan langhe right speaking to Marshall Powny, Get him out there and they should do it. Let me tell me about Stockton Mortgage, right.

00:35:29
Speaker 5: I've got, you know, starting like May seventh, Like you gotta have it or you can't get on a plane you have.

00:35:36
Speaker 6: I've had mine a while, but I hear going to get them now. The line it just carve out a whole day, even if you have an appointment. These people are rushing to do it before May.

00:35:43
Speaker 7: I hate that hate standing in line for an ida.

00:35:46
Speaker 5: I don't want to do that.

00:35:47
Speaker 4: Can we not troll the idea I've got?

00:35:50
Speaker 5: Can I use?

00:35:51
Speaker 4: Can I use a passport? Am I allowed to do that.

00:35:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe, so I believe you to fly you.

00:35:55
Speaker 5: So if I just go, like, what's the process? Now you have to go to like somewhere else, Right, you can't just go to the driver's license office, right, Don't you have to go.

00:36:02
Speaker 8: Go to Frankfort.

00:36:03
Speaker 5: But that was a yeah, yeah, so I find out what to do.

00:36:09
Speaker 2: They may have changed, they may be able to guess.

00:36:11
Speaker 5: There was a commercial that literally said what to do. Yeah.

00:36:14
Speaker 6: I went Lexington a while back, and even with an appointment, it was way behind when I got there, so I thought I'd be kind of in and out, but it took a big.

00:36:22
Speaker 3: If you have a passport, it's easier to get the passport. Why would't you just keep your passport and not get the real idea?

00:36:28
Speaker 5: Yeah, because I feel like I'm gonna lose it. But but but I'll just do the passport.

00:36:32
Speaker 3: I mean what I'm saying, like, it's a lot easier to get the passport than it does the real.

00:36:37
Speaker 5: You already have the passports, I'll just forget the real idea. So like in the future, when you go get your driver's license renewed, will it be a real id or do you still have to do something different.

00:36:47
Speaker 2: That's a great question. I don't know the answer.

00:36:48
Speaker 7: To go to the website.

00:36:50
Speaker 5: See, these are the kind of things that we the government should teach us right at some point. Or maybe just listen to the ads and go to that website. They said, Drew, I I I made a mistake yesterday on the Sunday Morning Show.

00:37:04
Speaker 4: We have this guy on this former NBA player. Do you remember Quentin Richardson.

00:37:08
Speaker 8: Of course part of the Clippers back in the day of the fun was a.

00:37:11
Speaker 5: Lot of fun. He is a he's a newly hired full time NBA analyst at ESPN.

00:37:16
Speaker 4: But we've had him on our show over the years and I've always liked him.

00:37:19
Speaker 5: I think he's really good. I think he's gonna be This is my prediction. So I'm pretty good at picking guys who are gonna be stars on ESPN. I did it with Dan Orlovsky. I said this dude's gonna be huge when and he did. This is my next one.

00:37:33
Speaker 4: Quentin Richardson in two years is gonna.

00:37:35
Speaker 5: Be big on ESPN. You mark my words. But yesterday I made a mistake. He had done a really good interview and at the end I was trying to pump him up. Drew like, I was trying to be nice, you know, and I said, Hey, Steven Ah Charls Barkley, Hey Shack, get ready, Q Tip is coming. And then I realized, no one calls him Q tip, Like I don't aim is Quinton Richardson. I just called him Q tip And then Myron was like, that's not his name, and I said I thought it was, and he was like, it's not.

00:38:08
Speaker 4: And then Quentin Richardson was like, well, you can call me whatever you want.

00:38:10
Speaker 5: But it was clear that his name was not Q tip, and I just called him Q tip, and Drew, I'm not sure why I called him Q tip, but it was clearly not his name.

00:38:19
Speaker 8: You're halfway there.

00:38:20
Speaker 5: He was.

00:38:21
Speaker 8: He was q for the longest time. I've never heard.

00:38:23
Speaker 5: Where did I get the tip? I know the tribe called quest guy was Q tip? But did I think Shannon that that was Quinton Richardson? Why did I call him quill?

00:38:31
Speaker 7: I have no idea why you would call him that.

00:38:33
Speaker 5: I said it was confidence though.

00:38:36
Speaker 7: That's the main thing. Though you said up with confidence.

00:38:38
Speaker 8: You should have said Patrick Q tips.

00:38:40
Speaker 6: Clean out your ears because Quintin Richardson is about to be talking basketball.

00:38:44
Speaker 8: With the best of them.

00:38:44
Speaker 5: Would have been good.

00:38:45
Speaker 4: I'll do that.

00:38:46
Speaker 8: I know no one knows your tips out.

00:38:49
Speaker 5: Well, I was really trying to hype him up, and instead I just called him the wrong no tip? Which no tip? Yeah, just keep away the tip. Who's next, Jerry, Jerry? What's up? Jerry?

00:39:01
Speaker 9: Carry with the t I've been called war than jury before though.

00:39:05
Speaker 7: My ears apparently because I'm everybody's name wrong.

00:39:07
Speaker 5: You're getting everybody's name wrong. Go ahead, I guess her.

00:39:12
Speaker 12: Uh. I was just trying to are going to give you a reason to get behind the centerella team and the si U.

00:39:22
Speaker 5: All right, talk directly in the phone. I can barely hear you. Just talk right in the phone. Go ahead.

00:39:28
Speaker 12: Uh, I'm going to try to give you a reason to pick back the s i U E Cougars and as a team this year.

00:39:35
Speaker 9: There's another.

00:39:38
Speaker 12: The athletic director is a center cause Grudguly.

00:39:44
Speaker 5: Oh well good, I'm glad to hear that. Uh. He went to center and now he's the A D in an n c A school. So I'm picking for him anyway because of rhyme. But that gives me an extra reason. And he's my phone in law. Oh that's good. What's his name?

00:40:01
Speaker 12: His name is Andrew Gavin.

00:40:04
Speaker 5: Okay, well, good, well Andrew Gavin. Uh, your father in law. Let's let's get him a better phone. But otherwise giving him a shout out and uh, let's go Cougar's all right.

00:40:15
Speaker 12: Well he's a forty year old and his wife my daughter graduations.

00:40:22
Speaker 5: Thank you very much. I can't keep doing that. I'm sorry. I appreciate the call. I can't something that pucke Yeah.

00:40:27
Speaker 2: Crazy, it just happened two different times with KT. Now this guy's phone and kind of cut in and out like that.

00:40:35
Speaker 5: That means Ryan did it on purpose? Right, Jannon? Is that? What is that? What him being cute there at the end, is that what that's about?

00:40:41
Speaker 7: I don't know. I mean, Ryan's not running the board.

00:40:43
Speaker 5: I am so.

00:40:43
Speaker 3: I don't know how you would have done it.

00:40:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't do anything.

00:40:48
Speaker 4: Let me ask you a question about the SEC tournament, Drew.

00:40:51
Speaker 5: Now that you know our route, play the winner of Oklahoma and Georgia, then play Alabama.

00:40:56
Speaker 4: Then we would probably play what is it or no, excuse me? Didn't play?

00:41:00
Speaker 5: Yeah, didn't play Alabama, then play Florida. What chances do you give us of making that run, the whole run.

00:41:09
Speaker 6: Winning four straight against that would include beating three of the top NCAA tournament seeds. I think that's unlikely, but I'm not surrendering any games to Alabama. Just this comparable styles of play. The team that makes the most threes I think will win that one. Whatever you get out of the first round, I feel pretty good about that. And then I do think they're capable of winning Friday. And if you get into the weekend, I think we'll all be happy and just hope for the best. But with cars back and being so limited to win four straight, I think it's asking a lot.

00:41:39
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think.

00:41:43
Speaker 4: I don't know why, Ryan, I feel like if we.

00:41:45
Speaker 5: Were play in Alabama for a third time, hard to beat a team three times in a row.

00:41:50
Speaker 4: I kind of feel like, if we get to that game, I give us a shot.

00:41:53
Speaker 5: I really do. I think I think I'll probably end up picking Kentucky against Alabama. I know they just won at Auburn, but I feel like, if we're gonna play a good team, let's give it a run and we'll have fun. We'll see where we are going into mark to the turnament.

00:42:06
Speaker 2: Kentucky Wildcats have not won an SEC tournament game in Nashville in six years.

00:42:11
Speaker 4: It's twenty ninth, so first beat Oklahoma or Georgia.
