00:02:13
Speaker 6: Odj Oh absolutely That.

00:02:15
Speaker 3: Would have been great to get those two together, wouldn't it. Yeah?

00:02:18
Speaker 6: I think she Oz would have loved Harvey as well.

00:02:20
Speaker 3: I think that's right.

00:02:22
Speaker 4: What person rights Matt has scuttle Butt Lemon, who was so good at the twenty twenty five class, heard anything about recruiting for twenty twenty six?

00:02:31
Speaker 1: Nope?

00:02:33
Speaker 4: Are you gonna You're gonna go back into that world of reporting recruits?

00:02:37
Speaker 3: You were pretty good at it last year.

00:02:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, I felt like I got some real good information. Things just changed it. It's happened. Sometimes world burned by your said.

00:02:45
Speaker 4: But sometime but you know what, nothing ventured, nothing gain right, True, you put your you put it out there, didn't work, But that's okay.

00:02:51
Speaker 1: I haven't heard anything though about the twenty twenty six class, so I went for you said about Harvey, he would have had a blister wreck record.

00:02:59
Speaker 3: Oh, he definitely would have. We could have sent loadolo to him. He'd be back by his next.

00:03:04
Speaker 1: Start, no doubt, no doubt.

00:03:06
Speaker 3: You know who else I think Harvey would have really liked.

00:03:09
Speaker 4: Since if people all say Harvey would have liked RFK as the health secretary.

00:03:16
Speaker 3: That would have been true.

00:03:18
Speaker 4: Harvey would have been what do they call it, say Maha, make America healthy. That would Harvey would have been on that trade. I don't think there's a I don't think there's any any doubt about that. One thing I wanted to note, And you're seeing some people talk about this online today, and I think it's a It is an interesting conversation. The WWE just signed with ESPN three hundred million dollars a year to put their their twelve pay per views on ESPN. So they're gonna be on that ESPN. They're gonna be on the streaming app. They're not gonna be on the regular network at least they say, but it'll be on streaming.

00:03:53
Speaker 7: Uh.

00:03:53
Speaker 4: The NFL just announced the NFL Network and NFL Red Zone are gonna be on ESPN. So with the combination of for Us Drew, you know, SEC, NFL, and now WWE on ESPN, you almost have to have that app at this point, right If you like sports.

00:04:12
Speaker 5: Definitely, and I'm someone that I don't really watch network TV or cable, I will open the ESPN app and see what's going on, even watching Old thirty for thirty, I mean, and now you just add all the wrestling funds. But here's more about them hurting the product at all.

00:04:27
Speaker 3: No, I'm not.

00:04:28
Speaker 4: I mean, if they didn't change it for Netflix, I don't think they're going to change it for ESPN.

00:04:34
Speaker 3: But but here's what I think is interesting about it.

00:04:36
Speaker 4: So it was three hundred million dollars and that was the exact same amount that the ESPN is giving the SEC every year for all of the SEC games.

00:04:48
Speaker 3: And I was seeing people this morning online making the argument kind of.

00:04:53
Speaker 4: That the SEC may have gotten jipped that basically because the Big Ten, if you remember, signed a co track for more than that, and the SEC contract is long term.

00:05:04
Speaker 3: I think we still have like another eight nine years left in it.

00:05:08
Speaker 4: And the argument was if the WWE's pay per views, which they only do twelve a year, or three hundred million dollars every SEC football game, every SEC basketball game, every SEC women's basketball game, and the SEC network okay, so think about all that inventory, all the games SEC network, that basically the SEC should have gotten more money. And the argument was when we get into this rev share time, there's gonna be a time these schools wished that they had signed a bigger deal because when some of these other conferences come up, they're gonna get more money per value than the SEC will because the SEC signed a long term deal for maybe not the right amount of money. And I have to say, you know, Shannon, if twelve pay per views for ww and Grant and WrestleMania is one of them, I get it. Yeah, But if they're worth that amount.

00:06:07
Speaker 3: Of money for US only rights, they still get to sell it. That's not world rights, that's just US rights.

00:06:14
Speaker 6: I was wondering about that.

00:06:15
Speaker 2: So, I mean, you would think then by the numbers, they're saying that as many people watch twelve pay per views for the WWE as watches, but I don't think.

00:06:24
Speaker 4: That's true though, I think more people will watch the SEC total.

00:06:27
Speaker 3: Again, I mean, how many people watch a wrestling pay per view? A few million?

00:06:31
Speaker 6: I'm not sure, but there are you there are.

00:06:33
Speaker 3: College football games that get more than that. Well.

00:06:36
Speaker 4: I actually think there's a decent argument that r SEC deal actually ends up looking like it's not worth enough money. When you compare it, you know, you hear three hundred million dollars, you go, oh, that's a ton of money. It is, but the Big ten sign for more, and when you compare it now to other sports, I don't know.

00:06:55
Speaker 3: Shannon. I mean I kind of think maybe the SEC should have gotten more.

00:06:58
Speaker 2: Or maybe Triple H is just a RT negotiator, maybe more than what they should.

00:07:02
Speaker 3: Have Maybe what do you all think?

00:07:03
Speaker 4: I mean, I would say to me, the SEC deal for every game, which think about how many games that is, is worth more than twelve pay per views.

00:07:16
Speaker 1: I don't know the timeline, but I assume when they had cut this deal with the SEC, maybe that was top market value.

00:07:21
Speaker 3: It was like two years ago. It was like two years ago, two and a half years ago.

00:07:24
Speaker 1: So you know, good for the ESPN to kind of, you know, negotiate that deal at the time that maybe would be worth double that two years later.

00:07:33
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't care, Drew, except for when it comes to being competitive, right, I mean you always say, you give the quote. I say all the time, it's not my money, So what do I care? But I do hope we don't get to a point five years down the road where we're still in this contract that looks like it's not worth as much and it hurts us to actually be competitive on the field.

00:07:52
Speaker 5: Yeah, sure, looks like yes, being out a bargain. You just look at the poll that came out yesterday, was it nine or ten SEC teams in the preseason top twenty five. So, I mean every single week you're gonna have some great games, and it compared to what they just signed the WW for, and it may, especially in a few years, it's gonna look like they got a nice little bargain on getting the best conference in football.

00:08:12
Speaker 3: Yeah. Uh.

00:08:13
Speaker 4: And now, Shannon, you know, with all these things, got the NFL WB.

00:08:18
Speaker 3: All in the espn uh.

00:08:20
Speaker 4: You know, a lot of opportunities for Uncle Matt potentially, or they could just ignore me for.

00:08:25
Speaker 3: All of them.

00:08:25
Speaker 8: I'm sure expert an expert, well, definitely an NFL expert now all right, yeah, yeah, I mean they had talked to me about a year ago about hosting a WWE pay per view pregame show with Booker T.

00:08:41
Speaker 3: What yeah, And I was like, oh, I'd love to do that. And then about.

00:08:46
Speaker 4: A month later they announced the show and it wasn't me, it was Booker T and somebody else, And I was like, well, oh.

00:08:52
Speaker 6: Well, young, what was the guy named the guys that replaced you that one time?

00:08:56
Speaker 3: Wrote?

00:08:57
Speaker 4: It was not you, youngb suck, It was the guy city. It was a guy in New York he's been on a bunch of stuff, Peter Rosenberg or something like that. I understand like he's done a bunch of stuff for them, So it made sense to me.

00:09:07
Speaker 3: Who's up.

00:09:07
Speaker 5: He could have been the other half of Harlem Heat I could I.

00:09:10
Speaker 3: Was supposed to be Stevie red Hunter Hunter Go ahead, Hunter Hunter, Yes, anytime you're ready? Now, all right?

00:09:24
Speaker 7: I got h two questions.

00:09:27
Speaker 9: One, if Otego was there for Kyle's last year Kentucky, what it affected the outcome of the season, and what he would have left with him for Arkansas. Second question with the revenue share or we're thinking like what's North Carolina gonna do with their football programs? Stuff like that? What the heck is that Alabama gonna do with two elite program.

00:09:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean Matt Well, Matt Norlanders said on my Interrupted podcast. I asked him what programs would be most effective effected negatively by ramps share. I don't know if you all heard this, but if you listen to my Interrupted podcast, we talk about this. I asked him what programs will be affected most positively, and he said Kentucky Duke, and then he mentioned those big East schools, Saint John's Connecticut and Villanova and Marquette. But then I asked him which schools were gonna be most affected negatively, and Drew he led with Alabama and Auburn. He said Alabama and Auburn basketball they're gonna take the biggest hit because he said there's no way their football programs are gonna sacrifice the money, and he even then mentioned Arkansas as well. He basically was like, he kind of thought the schools that would take the biggest hit are the SEC schools not named Kentucky and Florida. He thought there were people at Florida that would still really push that, but he kind of thought Alabama and Auburn might take the two biggest hits.

00:10:49
Speaker 5: Definitely, they're both new to basketball success in the last decade and Auburn especially. There's a hunger to get football back where it needs to be because Bama football has still pretty much been Bama football. So it'd be interesting to see if that fan base likes this run with Bruce Pearl where they've doubled their conference championships under Pearl, or do they want to get back to winning the Iron Bowl because it'll be hard to do both.

00:11:09
Speaker 4: She'll be hard you're right, and that might be why Bruce Pearl seems to be sniffing at running for senate. Is he might be seeing the riding on the wall and thinking, I don't know if this is gonna be the path.

00:11:21
Speaker 3: As far as the first question, Ryan, I don't know if Otaga away is a cow player? What do you think?

00:11:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know you got read Rob and Antonio reeves. Those three guys on that team, all those guys, that's it. Where's he gonna play? Where's he gonna get on the f on the floor. As great as Otaga was, I might take the other guys over him last year that year.

00:11:47
Speaker 4: Although col did like dudes who were tough and would take it to the basket more than he did shooters, so.

00:11:51
Speaker 3: Maybe he would have been a cow player. I don't know. It's hard to say. Who's next, Doug, Doug, go ahead, Doug.

00:11:59
Speaker 10: Hey, guys, since it's asking anything Wednesday, there's something one of your all's opinion on for a long time. So we know that Jerry West is the logo of the NBA. Not sure that he should still be, but he is. Who is the logo of UK athletics, both male and females.

00:12:20
Speaker 3: Well, so, you know, that's a good question. I appreciate the call.

00:12:27
Speaker 4: I mean female, let's start with female, is it Sidney McLaughlin Ryan.

00:12:34
Speaker 1: I thought, man, you're talking just basketball basketball logo.

00:12:37
Speaker 3: Okay, if you're talking basketball, then I don't know.

00:12:41
Speaker 4: I mean, we mentioned the other day the three or four kind of best players that would does one stand out to you of that group?

00:12:50
Speaker 5: If I were in charge, I'd probably make it Dani Isel, just because he's the leader in points and rebounds. I know it's been a long time, but those two records have stood for a while and probably aren't going anywhere.

00:13:03
Speaker 3: And it's a similar era. It's a similar era that Jerry wesh sure.

00:13:06
Speaker 5: With Anthony Davis as a close second.

00:13:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're probably right.

00:13:11
Speaker 1: If you go that line of thought, then his Valerie is still the female one. She's actually the scoring leader.

00:13:16
Speaker 5: I have Matthew Mitchell doing the Dougie as the winner logo.

00:13:20
Speaker 4: I like those picks. I think that I think those are those are probably pretty good picks. Shannon War of the World's apparently there's a new War of the World. I didn't know. I did not know it existed until earlier today, and it stars Ice Cube.

00:13:35
Speaker 3: Is that right? That's right, yep, And it has a zero on Rotten Tomatoes.

00:13:40
Speaker 6: How is that possible?

00:13:41
Speaker 3: Not one literally has.

00:13:43
Speaker 4: Literally has the worst reviews of a film that has come out of a certain budget in the last since COVID.

00:13:52
Speaker 3: Now I want you to think about that for a minute.

00:13:54
Speaker 4: Since COVID, every movie and I don't know what the amount is, but every movie that's been made for a certain amount of this movie has the worst reviews of any Shannon, I would never see War of the World's but now I kind of want to see.

00:14:12
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, this makes me want to see it. First of all, it brings awareness to the fact that even exists, because I didn't even know it existed until this morning. But now I do want to watch it just to see how bad is it?

00:14:22
Speaker 2: Like how bad has ice Cube's career falling off a cliff?

00:14:27
Speaker 4: I would argue, you'd rather have a zero Drew than have like a twenty, because I now wonder how bad can this be that it hasn't even gotten one positive review?

00:14:42
Speaker 3: Like it must be.

00:14:44
Speaker 4: So bad that now I almost want to see how could it be that bad?

00:14:51
Speaker 5: Me too, didn't know this existed till it was mentioned today. It's kind of like the Aiden Laros with the zero toughness punning. We don't talk about the punter if he doesn't have that zero, So we don't talk about Ice Cubes new movie. If it's not as zero, if it's just middle of the pack of the worst movies, don't even know what exists. Now I will make a point to watch it just to know how awful it is.

00:15:10
Speaker 1: And it's you.

00:15:11
Speaker 6: It's on Prime.

00:15:12
Speaker 3: Oh, it's already out, so it's not in a Theay.

00:15:14
Speaker 6: No, you can watch it like right now if you want to.

00:15:16
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, so I think we should watch it. Let's do it.

00:15:20
Speaker 4: I mean I haven't seen a War of the World's. I mean I know they had a couple a few years ago. I haven't seen any of them. So I hope I will be able to keep up.

00:15:27
Speaker 3: With the story.

00:15:29
Speaker 4: But but Ryan, would you want to watch the zero movie War of the Worlds?

00:15:34
Speaker 1: Let's do it? And you said it. Would you rather have a zero than a twenty? Because now we would never be talking about if it was a twenty?

00:15:41
Speaker 4: Okay, we Care's the thing. If you're listening, we have a group homework assignment. Okay, by Monday, by Mondays.

00:15:52
Speaker 3: What are they? What are the reviews say?

00:15:53
Speaker 6: I was rooting for the Aliens.

00:15:56
Speaker 3: I was ready for the alien beyond.

00:15:58
Speaker 2: Believe land and boring the world's awful? Was this the student project?

00:16:02
Speaker 3: This is a great I love it all right.

00:16:05
Speaker 4: So for for between now and Monday, that is our homework is that you have to, uh, you have to watch War of the Worlds.

00:16:13
Speaker 3: I'm told that WLAP just went off the air.

00:16:16
Speaker 4: This company and their technology is unbelievably Hopefully the rest of you are still hearing it. Maybe we're talking into the void. We'll take a break. Be right, bag, It's KISR.

Last Night, Ryan a record the fastest ball ever hit.

00:17:00
Speaker 3: For a home run. Lourie. I don't know how to say his name. How do you say l o U R des.

00:17:13
Speaker 4: Lords Gury l Junior of the Diamondbacks hit one hundred and three point nine mile per hour home run fastball from a guy named Mason Miller, who I think throws faster than He made the league through one hundred and three point nine and he hit a home run. It is the It is the fastest ball hit for a home run of all time.

00:17:33
Speaker 1: Run man, It's crazy. I mean, pitchers are throwing the ball faster, guys are hitting it harder. Just every year, just the bigger, better, stronger, faster. Makes me wonder how all these records are not gonna be just obliviated in the year's ahead.

00:17:46
Speaker 4: It's amazing. One hundred and three point nine, that's hard to even fathom. But uh, he's thrown The guy who threw the pitch has thrown it up to one oh four point five.

00:17:58
Speaker 1: That's insane for the A's.

00:18:00
Speaker 4: Now he plays for the Padres, so that's why we've probably never heard him. I had Pablo Tore on my Interrupted by Matt Jones podcast.

00:18:10
Speaker 3: Think I think people will enjoy it.

00:18:12
Speaker 4: We talk about Rick Patino, we talk about Bill Belichick, and that's most of the show because he's really fascinating in.

00:18:19
Speaker 3: Both those stories.

00:18:21
Speaker 4: A lot of the stuff about Patino you all will know, but it's fun to talk about with somebody else. But he also said two things Drew that I thought you'd find interesting. Number One, do you we've talked, I think before about the Yankees wife swap?

00:18:34
Speaker 3: Right? Do you remember that the two guys that changed families?

00:18:39
Speaker 7: Yeah?

00:18:39
Speaker 4: Uh, he said, by the way, and I didn't know this. So remember there were two players. They were like swingers on the baseball team. They decided to change wives and families. Did you know that one of those two is still married to the woman that he switched with.

00:18:56
Speaker 3: No.

00:18:57
Speaker 5: Also, didn't they like swap children too?

00:19:00
Speaker 3: They swapped everything. They just changed houses. This was so weird.

00:19:06
Speaker 4: But I'm not surprised that one of the two relationships didn't work. But aren't you surprised that the other one did?

00:19:14
Speaker 1: Yes? Yes, I didn't know that until he said it.

00:19:20
Speaker 4: And Second, and Shannon, this probably won't shock you. You remember Total Request Live?

00:19:24
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, trl trl.

00:19:26
Speaker 3: You remember they would do the top ten every day?

00:19:28
Speaker 6: Of course.

00:19:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, Pablo Torre proved on his podcast it was rigged.

00:19:33
Speaker 3: They would tell you to call in and vote.

00:19:35
Speaker 4: They never took the votes, They just ranked them based on what they wanted to play.

00:19:40
Speaker 6: Doesn't surprise me at all.

00:19:41
Speaker 2: You know, MTV was going to basically force feed you the bands that they wanted you to hear, didn't matter what people really voted, So that doesn't surprise me.

00:19:51
Speaker 4: It didn't really shock me. But now we have official word that TRL was rigged. People were not calling in for n Sync and Limp Biscuit no as much as you thought they were during the time.

00:20:04
Speaker 6: But that was MTV's narrative.

00:20:05
Speaker 2: They wanted you to like that music, so they wanted you to see that it was number one every day on the top ten.

00:20:11
Speaker 6: Now we know it's a lie.

00:20:12
Speaker 4: Now we know it's a lie. So so yeah, check that out that episode if you get a chance.

00:20:16
Speaker 3: What's next, Jackson, Jackson, Go ahead, Jackson.

00:20:20
Speaker 11: Hey, Matt, I was just wondering about what you think of the Reds. They beat the Cubs twice, hopefully about to sweep them, and I saw something that said they have a thirteen point eight percent chance to make the postseason. So I was wondering what you thought about.

00:20:35
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not getting my hopes up. I'm not, Jackson, but I have enjoyed it. You know, they lost that game, the Bristol game, and I kind of thought that might be up. And now they've won the last two. They're new guys played a big role. I know you appreciate defense.

00:20:50
Speaker 3: Ryan.

00:20:51
Speaker 4: Did you see that play key Brian made last night at third base.

00:20:54
Speaker 1: One of the bare handed through the game out that one. Yeah, that was one of.

00:20:57
Speaker 3: The best playing. The pitcher played well, and they get.

00:21:00
Speaker 1: So both you are like, yeah, your new acquisitions won that game for you.

00:21:05
Speaker 4: Last ye Yeah, so you know they play this afternoon, Jackson. I don't know if they'll win that, But then they got four straight against the Pirates.

00:21:13
Speaker 3: They need to win three of those.

00:21:15
Speaker 4: If they if they win three of the four against I'm gonna be at the game Saturday and Sunday, I'm going up there. If they win three of those four, Jackson, or they win today, so three of the next five, then I'm on board.

00:21:28
Speaker 3: And you and I can start getting excited. All right, all right, So.

00:21:34
Speaker 6: He didn't sound too exciting now he hung off.

00:21:36
Speaker 4: He was gone, Yeah, I mean I don't want to believe Ryan, because I feel like it's just a good way to get hurt.

00:21:44
Speaker 3: But it faced good. They've won the series at Chicago that was.

00:21:48
Speaker 1: Exciting, and they've got the schedule ahead of them that they could actually make.

00:21:51
Speaker 4: Some well this week, then it starts to get really hard. They play like all the best teams down the stretch, so it's gonna be a tough. But I want to thank them. They've given me a lot of enjoyment this year. I've really enjoyed it.

00:22:04
Speaker 6: What's next sounds like somebody's going to renew next year for their season.

00:22:06
Speaker 3: Take yeah, I am. I mean next year.

00:22:08
Speaker 4: To be honest with you, the next two years is what they've been building for.

00:22:12
Speaker 3: It's twenty six and twenty seven.

00:22:14
Speaker 4: Now, I will say if they don't make the playoffs one of those two years, but go ahead and go on record, Shaan and not renewing in twenty.

00:22:19
Speaker 6: Eight, Okay, all right, they got twenty.

00:22:21
Speaker 3: Six and twenty seven to get me.

00:22:23

00:22:55
Speaker 7: Chiage. Yes, I'm not not a SOD. I'm I'm a crow member dropped by the Crobble from Montana and I wondered they played a lot of seven man football in that area and now Southwest and I just wondered if he participated in the seventh man.

00:23:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't hear that he did.

00:23:16
Speaker 4: He said he played eleven on eleven but they only had eleven guys. But uh, he may have done that, but he he didn't say one way or the other.

00:23:23
Speaker 3: So I don't know.

00:23:24
Speaker 7: And you were talking about Cortes. Uh, there's a place to help marrow.

00:23:31
Speaker 3: To let you go. I'm sorry. We'll take a break.

00:23:34
Speaker 5: TJ Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ.

00:23:42
Speaker 3: Here's Matt Jones, welcome back Tecki Sports Radio.

00:23:45
Speaker 4: Uh some breaking news seeing it running on AH. The SEC has announced the basketball opening and closing weekend schedule.

00:23:59
Speaker 3: They are opening.

00:24:00
Speaker 4: They have decided every year to open SEC play every year with powerhouses playing and then make the last Saturday of every season Rivalry Saturday, so the opening weekend for Kentucky, they will play on the road at Alabama January third, Their first game in SEC play will be at Alabama, and they will close the season at home on Rivalry Saturday against Florida in the final home game of the year.

00:24:30
Speaker 3: Do you like that, Drew?

00:24:32
Speaker 5: I love it, and I have a prediction. March seventh will be for the SEC regular season Crown Kentucky, Florida and Lexingtonparino winner wins the conference.

00:24:42
Speaker 3: I like that. I don't. I don't think that's a bad prediction.

00:24:45
Speaker 5: Actually, I love the Alabama when to start it, I'd prefer a home game, but whatever, you gotta go to Alabama eventually. Let's just get it out of the way. I love how those are the book ends on the schedule.

00:24:55
Speaker 4: And that'll be the only time we play Alabama all year, by the way, so only time we Alabama all year will be there.

00:25:01
Speaker 3: Home and home, not home and home.

00:25:04
Speaker 4: No, we play our home and home teams are Florida, Tennessee and Vandy.

00:25:12
Speaker 3: Vandy.

00:25:13
Speaker 4: So it's back to Florida Tennessee Vandy again. So that game against Alabama on the road is the only time we'll see them all year long. Ryan, do you like opening with Alabama and closing a home of Florida.

00:25:26
Speaker 1: The thing I like the best is that the Florida game closing out is at Roperena. I thought for sure when you started that they were going to end at Tennessee or at Florida's the rivalry game on the road. I thought for sure you're gonna say that. So the fact you've got Florida, the defending champs at home, yeah, absolutely, bring.

00:25:41
Speaker 3: It all right. I like it. So there you go.

00:25:44
Speaker 4: That is your SEC Updates schedule. They should have the whole schedule here probably pretty soon. The women's schedule came out yesterday. Yeah, the SEC schedule, So you got to think the men's will come out soon after Shady Rays. We are at Shady Rays on Friday. We will be doing our remote there in Lexington at the summer. Remember fifty percent off all Shady Rays in Lexington on Friday. Plus I may spice it up with some ticki ticks. So all you gotta do is come to Shady Rays Lexington and Summit should be a fun show. I think the weather is the weather's supposed to be good. I was gonna say it was gonna be good, but I realized I have no idea if it's gonna.

00:26:22
Speaker 3: Be good or not.

00:26:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's supposed to be really good.

00:26:25
Speaker 3: Really good good.

00:26:25
Speaker 4: As soon as it's over, I'm hopping in a car and heading up to Pittsburgh. So Shady Rays Friday at the Summit, we will see you there.

00:26:34
Speaker 3: Who's next? Shiit? Jordan? Jordan? Go ahead, Jordan.

00:26:39
Speaker 12: Hey, guys, I watched the Any Given Saturday Netflix doc. Kentucky's not really in it. They don't cover us during the South Carolina game, just their perspective. In the last episode, we get like ten minutes where they cover Harrison and then they say we're playing against Louisville for pride and then show us getting destroyed. So that's done.

00:27:02
Speaker 4: Yeah? Is I understand it? You tell me if this is right, if you've seen the whole thing. The South Carolina episode is centered around South Carolina, but the Kentucky Louisville episode looks like it was supposed to be centered around us, but then we lost and so they didn't do a whole lot in it.

00:27:19
Speaker 12: Yeah, they showed a lot of like practice and stuff. They have like Mac, they have Harrison talking to Dion and you know, all those guys, and then there's a little bit of it, but then it clearly they were like, oh yeah, Kentucky's gonna play for Pride. They show Harrison like doing his homework in the hotel room, which is interesting, and then and then they just show highlights of Louisville just destroying us.

00:27:40
Speaker 3: Is the show good overall? Like, is it a good show?

00:27:43
Speaker 12: It's it's very repetitive. I watched the first four episodes and I was like, this is the same like thing over and over again. They show a lot of LSU and then I actually skipped episodes five and six and just went straight to Hours and skipped through that too. They do cover Vandy during the Alabama week, and I was like, oh, yeah, this will be a great So.

00:28:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, I heard they have a really cool shot.

00:28:07
Speaker 4: They're on the field with the fans as their as their storm. Somebody told me, if you didn't like Diego Pavia before, you'll really not like him after this.

00:28:15
Speaker 3: Is that true?

00:28:18
Speaker 12: One of his roommates talks to him and he's like, dude, you got a suck cussing in public?

00:28:24
Speaker 3: Okay, well I'm gonna watch it.

00:28:27
Speaker 12: And he's like, yeah, you did it at the restaurant the other day.

00:28:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, well okay, well listen. I appreciate the information. Have you all watched any of it?

00:28:36
Speaker 3: The three of you?

00:28:37
Speaker 1: I have to see any of I watched the first episode last night. It was all Brian Kelly and Shane Beemer and the two guys I like the least in the entire conference, but stomach through the first episode.

00:28:47
Speaker 5: Same as Ryan. When Brian Kelly was the first fifteen minutes I had it on and I was like, I'd rather not start with him.

00:28:53
Speaker 4: Not a fan, Yeah, I mean I love anything, but behind the scenes. Did anybody know did Hard Knocks deal with Harston or Walker or Davis?

00:29:04
Speaker 3: Do we know the first episode last night?

00:29:06
Speaker 5: That's on my watch list tonight. I have not seen any spoilers. I assume if they were heavily featured, that would have been circulating on social media, but I have not seen it.

00:29:15
Speaker 6: I got to get their War of the World's first.

00:29:17
Speaker 3: I would have thought.

00:29:19
Speaker 4: I would have thought with Davis's story and Harrison. I would think they'll be on there at some point. But but we'll see.

00:29:27
Speaker 5: Who's Josh Allen got married. That'll be probably be featured.

00:29:31
Speaker 3: Oh to you mean the other Josh Allen.

00:29:33
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Hill's Quarterbackiela Fallow him around done, don go ahead, don hey man.

00:29:40
Speaker 13: I was listening to sports radio and on two different unrelated sports it was go time. Well, I'd like to know is when or why is it go time? When is go time over? And who gets to declare? And why they can't be a talking hit.

00:29:54
Speaker 3: You mean, like go time in a game.

00:29:57
Speaker 13: Go time for whatever. This was like an they were talking about and you know, like before the season started or some you know, anytime whenever, anybody, whenever you think declared.

00:30:09
Speaker 4: Well, So here's what I think, generally speaking, and I appreciate the call generally speaking. I actually had to talk about this in my interview with Terry Minors yesterday. I hate Shannon cliche. Like, one of things I hate about media is the way people have to do segments right. Like I really hate segments on shows when they're like okay, let's play deal or no deal, let's play fact or fix you know, all those kinds of things. Really, it's just a way of we gotta have something to say, so let's call it a game. Announcers are like that too, with things like he's really stepping.

00:30:50
Speaker 3: Up, or it's go time or whatever.

00:30:54
Speaker 4: I just think that's kind of you're just leaning back on something because you don't have anything interesting to say, so you go back now. I do like catch phrases, like when people will say string back when I was a kid string music in Kentucky. But in general, when I hear things like go time, that guy's right, like, what does that even mean? It's go time and it always go time, I always kind of just roll my eyes.

00:31:17
Speaker 2: Well, I guess it's talking time a lot of the summer. But now we're getting down to the last, you know, thirty days before football season, Now it's go time.

00:31:24
Speaker 6: I think that's probably what they mean.

00:31:25
Speaker 4: Probably are you do you, Drew? I feel like you We've talked about this. When we were playing in our NFL show, Billy was like, do we want to have segments? And I said, I hate segments. I think they're kind of stupid.

00:31:36
Speaker 5: But yeah, they get a little cheesy. I know you're your ESPN employers big on them.

00:31:42
Speaker 4: We got two segments scheduled for this afternoon. You know, I don't, I don't. I don't want to make fun of them. But we like these shows. They all have segments and you know you have to do them. But I like, right right now today on the ESPN radio, I'm gonna have to do NFL two a day's and the two we have are the Bears, which actually I could do and shann In your Packers?

00:32:05
Speaker 3: What should I say about your Packers this? After that?

00:32:07
Speaker 2: They're gonna win the Super Bowl? That's really all you need to say, Aaron, But.

00:32:10
Speaker 3: Can you give me any information about him?

00:32:12
Speaker 6: Yeah, Jordan loves their quarterback.

00:32:14
Speaker 3: I do that.

00:32:15
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's about it. I don't know right well, they kept up with them at all in the off season.

00:32:19
Speaker 4: As you you're gonna hear me b yes about it for for.

00:32:23
Speaker 3: Ten minutes today. What's next, Jeff, Jeff, go ahead, Jeff.

00:32:30
Speaker 14: Hey, guys, hey, do you have any idea why UK is doing the Family Day during the Texas came to cheer.

00:32:39
Speaker 3: Family Day?

00:32:40
Speaker 4: Is that where you get to bring your kids for like a reduced price or something.

00:32:45
Speaker 14: Yeah, you know they usually do it against sink for the parents coming in because the kids.

00:32:50
Speaker 3: They Oh, you mean like parents' Day or do you mean like family day?

00:32:55
Speaker 7: Yeah?

00:32:55
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's like they call it family day that it's more like parents' day.

00:33:00
Speaker 3: Oh for the college students, Oh, I don't know. You're right.

00:33:02
Speaker 4: They usually do that in a game where it would be easy to get tickets. I am surprised that they would do that for Texas because presumably that's gonna be kind of a hard ticket.

00:33:12
Speaker 14: It's gonna be a very hard ticket. We usually get an R hink Jesus.

00:33:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.

00:33:21
Speaker 4: I have not heard, but that is maybe they just maybe they were hoping to find a way to not have that stadium filled with Texas fans since it's the first time they've come.

00:33:32
Speaker 3: I don't know.

00:33:33
Speaker 4: That's interesting. I appreciate the call, Drew. Why do you think they did that? Yeah, because usually parents days when we play like Vandy or something.

00:33:39
Speaker 5: Just a complete guess. But we only have two home games with Keenland. Maybe they try to line it up with that. The other's Tennessee. So if you're picking up the two, Texas has never been here. I don't know, but just Keenland being that time, maybe they want to have they combined the parents in the football weekend.

00:33:53
Speaker 3: How much do you think we're gonna get invaded for that Texas game.

00:33:57
Speaker 1: Coming that I believe will be the hardest ticket all season due to Texas fans coming into our town and buying all the tickets.

00:34:04
Speaker 3: Well, they might be number one.

00:34:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's true, you know.

00:34:07
Speaker 4: I mean, there's a decent chance they'll come in and they'll be the number one team in the country.

00:34:13
Speaker 3: I think you're gonna see.

00:34:15
Speaker 4: I think that Saturday in Lexington has a potential to be because Keenland's going on.

00:34:20
Speaker 3: Too, has the potential to be like an insane.

00:34:24
Speaker 4: Saturday because if I was a Texas fan, you've never been here, Keenland's here, Like, why wouldn't you go? I mean, you're gonna see I think you This sounds crazy, but I think you could see thirty to forty thousand Texans Texas fans here.

00:34:43
Speaker 5: Oh I'm expecting it. And you know, Kentucky football doesn't really move the needle in the SEC, but Lexington might be the number one destination.

00:34:51
Speaker 1: Yea, it really is.

00:34:52
Speaker 5: I mean people can go to Nashville, people have been to Nashville, but I mean you're gonna go to Auburn, Alabama, Tuscaloosa, Kentucky has Keenland going on bourbon trade else city. It is a it's a place where when your school doesn't get to go there very often, you want to make sure you take advantage of it.

00:35:06
Speaker 3: That one the same way we wanted to go to Austin.

00:35:08
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, like when we played there last year, everybody there were a lot of people that really wanted to go. I expect, you know, I expect they're going to be some games this year.

00:35:20
Speaker 3: Old Miss.

00:35:21
Speaker 4: There're gonna be a ton of Old Miss fans up here. There will there. I mean, there's gonna be a ton this was there. That'll be their first big game of the year, just like it is ours. It's here we beat them last year, so they feel like they want revenge. I think you're gonna see both for Old Miss and Texas, just obscene crowds of their fans here. And obviously Tennessee always does that. Yes, So I mean three of our what three of our seven home games, I would just expect to see just massive amounts of the Tell me about Stockton mortgage.

00:37:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, she was kind of the little you know what a ski one? Debbie Gibson was like the goodie two shoes win.

00:37:21
Speaker 6: But what was her song?

00:37:23
Speaker 1: I can't think of it. With Tiffany going on right now. She had a couple of hits.

00:37:27
Speaker 6: Everybody knows this one.

00:37:28
Speaker 2: I think We're Alone now, Yeah, yeah, which I don't even think was her song.

Speaker 1: And they both got popular, didn't They both get popular by going to shopping.

Speaker 6: Malls across the country. Tiffany. Tiffany was on Full House.

00:37:40
Speaker 1: That's how I remember, all right, Ryan Drew and Shannon Here, I got one segment here. If you want to call, we'll get you on real quick. Eight five nine two eight h two two eighty seven. That's the Clark's published my phone number. So, Drew, there is a Kentucky Little League coach that is uh going viral right now. I believe he's coaching the Eastern Little League All Star team in the regional tournament. Is that right correct? And he makes a mound visit.

00:38:06
Speaker 3: Shannon.

00:38:06
Speaker 1: You know you've been there. You're the pitcher. Coach comes out, talks to you. But obviously the stakes a little higher when it's the regional tournament. You're trying to get to the Little League World Series, big crowd, you're on the road, big stadiums.

00:38:19
Speaker 5: People watching at home on TV.

00:38:21
Speaker 1: This was on ESPN, crying out loud, huge moment for Eastern Little League that produced Walker Beeler. By the way, Eastern little League and this this coach comes out and he did he did something that's gone viral, and we want to play it for you, So go ahead, Shannon.

00:38:37
Speaker 3: I don't have that many funny ones. Oh I got one.

00:38:43
Speaker 5: Do you know that a koala bear is not actually a bear? It's a marsupio.

00:38:49
Speaker 1: Do you know why kowala bear is a bear?

00:38:52
Speaker 3: Is a marsupio not a bear?

00:38:55
Speaker 1: Yeah?

00:38:55
Speaker 3: I know it doesn't have the qualifications.

00:39:01
Speaker 1: And then he walks off. That was the entire mound visit. It's a huge point of the game. He goes out, brings his infield in his picture and he tells the joke about a marsupial. I loved every second of it. Me too.

00:39:13
Speaker 5: If I had that little league coach, I might have stuck with baseball with that kind of attitude. Ryan, you've been in that spot. Does that help the picture?

00:39:21
Speaker 7: Uh?

00:39:21
Speaker 5: If you're just talking nothing about baseball and you know, telling a joke or keeping their mind off on something else.

00:39:27
Speaker 1: Well, these are these are twelve year old kids, you know, and they feel it. They know, man, this tight game. They're trying to win, and you know, advance. So I was coaching eight year old there's my story, Shannon, and it was a huge game. Matter of fact, Dante Key was the other coach. We were playing Dante's team head to head, first place up for grabs in south West Little League Southwest Pony, I'm sorry and big part of the game. So I called time out in the eight year old game, Shan and walked to the mound, called my infield in and I'm like, tell me what I want what I really really want. Yeah, I tell you what I want, what I really really want. I want you guys to get this guy out, walk back to the dugout. That was my that was my mound visit.

00:40:10
Speaker 6: Did they laugh? Did they get it?

00:40:11
Speaker 1: I mean they probably had never heard the song.

00:40:14
Speaker 6: Every Girls even a big thing.

00:40:16
Speaker 1: Then well no, they had no idea who the Spice Girls were. Didn't know what I was doing, but I like this coach was doing for this. You just tried to just I mean, it's baseball, it's supposed to be fun. Yeah, don't be upset.

00:40:27
Speaker 6: What don't we say at that moment? Anyway? And throw a strike? I mean, the picture knows how to pitch.

00:40:31
Speaker 2: At this point, there's nothing you can really say unless you're talking strategy. At that point, I think the main object is to get out there and just to break up the rhythm of the picture, right, make them laugh, make them smile and think about something else for a second.

00:40:46
Speaker 1: My college coach at Kentucky Wesley and Denny Potts, was like five foot three. When he would make a Mounain visit, he would go shan it and stand on the rubber so he would be as tall as all the other players make them kind of stand down the mountain a little bit. So I out the coach Drew played it perfectly. Just try to have some fun, enjoy the moment, enjoy baseball.

00:41:06
Speaker 5: It's a great joke. They did have to come home. That was the end of the road for our Kentuckians.

00:41:11
Speaker 1: So the Marsupial joke didn't work.

00:41:13
Speaker 5: It didn't well, we don't know. That didn't work. Maybe it helped that picture in that moment, but it was great. It's gone viral, some nice attention for him. But it was the end of the road for the Kentuckians.

00:41:22
Speaker 1: Maybe he should have told a better joke.

00:41:24
Speaker 5: No, that's a good one, that's a great one.

00:41:26
Speaker 2: I could tell you what My mound visits were not as pleasant from my playing days.

00:41:31
Speaker 1: From Scottie Weigan.

00:41:33
Speaker 6: Yeah, Scotty Wig wasn't telling any jokes.

00:41:35
Speaker 1: He ain't messing around, telling your ass.

00:41:36
Speaker 6: Could throw a striker, you're gonna get yanked out there.

00:41:39
Speaker 5: What age group did you say, you saying spice girls through eight year old. Yeah, they probably weren't very familiar.

00:41:44
Speaker 1: They had no idea, but I thought that was a good way to do it. Tell me what I want, what I really want. I'll tell you what I want, what I really want once you get this guy out.

00:41:50
Speaker 6: I mean like nineteen ninety six when this happened.

00:41:53
Speaker 1: No, no, it was like two thousand and ten.

00:41:55
Speaker 5: It's good to know coach Lemon's tactics though.

00:41:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we lost the game. I think the Thing's team beat me that game.

00:42:02
Speaker 5: So he still bring that up while you are the pool.

00:42:04
