00:02:18
Speaker 3: Right the road trip and you never gave that guy's jacket back.

00:02:21
Speaker 4: I thought he was giving it to me to keep. He came back apparently and wanting it.

00:02:25
Speaker 2: No.

00:02:26
Speaker 5: Remember you didn't want to carry it on the plane. You left it wherever we were.

00:02:29
Speaker 2: I don't think. I can't think we told him that. Yeah, yeah, I doesn't know.

00:02:32
Speaker 4: What to as I couldn't they So that jacket's not allowed on the plane.

00:02:36
Speaker 3: So where's what happened? Twenty two eighty seven.

00:02:39
Speaker 5: But yes, uh, by the way, we leave on our road trip December first, I hope you all realize we're driving to Seattle.

00:02:46
Speaker 3: It's just a little over a month away. Ryan, all the way to Seattle.

00:02:51
Speaker 2: You know, it's gonna be an awesome experience for Kentucky to playing that environment kind of pope going back to where he has some roots back there, so I think it'd be a really fun trip.

00:02:59
Speaker 3: Are you excited to drive across the country.

00:03:01
Speaker 2: I am absolutely not.

00:03:02
Speaker 3: No.

00:03:03
Speaker 2: I uh I see I ride Shotgun with Matt, so I have to stay awake and engage with him to keep make sure he stays engaged.

00:03:09
Speaker 3: Well, we're taking the four of us.

00:03:12
Speaker 5: Uh, Mario's going and then if if Lexington Christian has lost, then we will take Max as well.

00:03:19
Speaker 6: If they're in the.

00:03:21
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a bus.

00:03:22
Speaker 5: Well we're just gonna have to get close in the back. But no, it should be uh should be a lot of fun.

00:03:28
Speaker 4: We have that many people in the car. I may opt out, you cannot opt out.

00:03:31
Speaker 5: This is not this is not an N I L situation. We barely fit with four. Now we're gonna get it. We'll get a car that's that's worthy of the of the trip. It's gonna be it be a good time. So just a couple updates the the Kenton County. The principal, the one of the kids that the thing was their kid. Okay, so its their kid and friends they still not you still shouldn't do it. But I don't know if that makes a difference to people. But but that it is worth noting.

00:03:56
Speaker 3: It's not as.

00:03:56
Speaker 6: Creepy if your child's there and it's their friends as if you're just as when you're like, hey, kids before graduation on over, I'll throw you a party that's a little different.

00:04:04
Speaker 5: I think that's a little different. Okay, let's talk about a couple of things. A five, nine, two, eight oh, twenty twenty seven. I'll go to the phone ra after this. Yankees Dodgers starts tonight East Coast versus West Coast. Aaron Judge show, Hey O, Tany Lexington's own Walker Bueller, got Garrett Cole, Sodou, Mookie Betts. That's the most baseball players I've been able to name for any World Series in years.

00:04:27
Speaker 6: Uh are you? Are you excited ryding to watch Yankees.

00:04:30
Speaker 2: Dodge I am? I I like I said, I like playoff baseball and I love the World Series. I'll probably watch the me as I can. Here's a crazy thing. I have a ticket to go to the game tonight if I could make it out there. What yeah to wear to La to La to watch Game one? I have a ticket?

00:04:46
Speaker 6: What does that mean? You have a ticket?

00:04:48
Speaker 2: Guy called me to say I got extra ticket? Do you want to meet me out here. I'm not kidding. I gotta get that. I got Frederick Douglas football, and I got the series.

00:04:59
Speaker 5: You're gonna s Game one Yankees Dodgers for Frederick Douglas versus George Rogers Clarks.

00:05:05
Speaker 2: Your parties are Kentucky, Auburn tomorrow. Got my brother and his family are coming in.

00:05:10
Speaker 4: Do you actually know the guys?

00:05:14
Speaker 2: They don't even show up text?

00:05:15
Speaker 5: Why just out of curiosity? Why did I mean, it's not like LA's down the street? Why did he think you?

00:05:21
Speaker 2: He knows I'm a big baseball guy, and so why don't you say how about Game two?

00:05:25
Speaker 3: And then go out there tomorrow?

00:05:27
Speaker 2: I think he's just out there just for a couple of days, and he had some tickets, and.

00:05:33
Speaker 5: Well, I don't know if you've seen so the Dodger. You know, the Dodgers have Game one and two out there. They are saying that the tickets. Have you seen this? The tickets are insane. But the parking, you know, it's hard to park out there. The official parking is all season ticket holders.

00:05:51
Speaker 3: You have to have it.

00:05:51
Speaker 5: But let's say you don't get the official parking, the surrounding lots are charging Shannon. They're saying they're gonna charge three hundred into one thousand dollars.

00:06:02
Speaker 3: Just to park for the thing.

00:06:05
Speaker 5: And the thing is, if you go, you have to do it because there's no it's not like you can just park farther away. It's all interstate, so it's either you park there or forget it.

00:06:15
Speaker 4: That's next level greed charging that amount for parking. I guess, you know, if you're halfway close, maybe you uber to the game.

00:06:22
Speaker 5: But I don't think ubers are gonna be allowed to drop off because they apparently the traffic in and out of there is as bad as it is anywhere in America, So they don't allow ubers to go in and out and accept in like three hours before the game or something.

00:06:37
Speaker 4: So what are you doing? Are you gonna pay that amount? Are you gonna sell your tickets? I mean, I think you just eat it.

00:06:43
Speaker 5: Just have to eat it if you want to go, I mean, or else walk down the interstate.

00:06:48
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know what else.

00:06:49
Speaker 4: You come out, ride a bicycle, I don't know what you do, but it's like crazy.

00:06:53
Speaker 5: That's one of those things where it really is a monopoly that it feels like the government should say, look, there's because it's not like you have another choice. You'd have to do it, Ryan, So I just I think it's crazy.

00:07:06
Speaker 2: I think for regular season Dodger game, they're it's kind of famous where everybody shows up by the third inning and then they leave about the six or seven.

00:07:13
Speaker 3: That's another thing.

00:07:14
Speaker 5: So like tonight the game starts at eight o'clock Eastern, but that's five o'clock in LA. So you're like in the midst of drive time traffic when you're trying to get to the game, Like, you might as well just sleep there, Drew, I don't know what else you would do.

00:07:30
Speaker 6: I'd still go run. You'll figure it out.

00:07:33
Speaker 2: I would like to go.

00:07:34
Speaker 6: No, that does sound like madness. Have you seen what a ticket comes?

00:07:38
Speaker 3: You just have one? D two?

00:07:40
Speaker 2: Just one?

00:07:40
Speaker 5: Okay, they're gonna say if you had two, there might be somebody with a private jet who would say get on.

00:07:44
Speaker 3: Unless there's what.

00:07:45
Speaker 2: Hurts me the most. Two last time the Cardinals were in the World Series, I had a ticket for Game six. They won it in five games. So I still have never been to a World Series. Oh, I mean most people haven't.

00:07:56
Speaker 3: I have it either, saying that like or me, I've never been want.

00:08:02
Speaker 4: To World Series field.

00:08:04
Speaker 3: You can't go back there anymore either.

00:08:07
Speaker 5: I will say, I think it would be very As somebody who's been to a lot of Yankees games, I think it would be awesome.

00:08:13
Speaker 3: To go to a World Series game with the Yankees.

00:08:15
Speaker 5: Yeah, just there's something about the World Series and the Yankees and the videos of the people in the stands cold and sitting there watching it, and I and you know, being in the Bronx. I would love that is something I would next to the Reds going to a Yankees World Series game, I think would be wrong.

00:08:31
Speaker 4: We might see Rick Patino out there. You know, he was there at the last on the front row, right there on the front row.

00:08:38
Speaker 2: It was like a day after he left here and there he was front row for the Yankees playoff game against the Guardians.

00:08:43
Speaker 3: All right.

00:08:44
Speaker 5: Second thing, I promise people that we would quickly talk about the amendments because some people I think can actually vote this weekend start tomorrow with with your absentee or something in a few counties.

00:08:56
Speaker 3: So so I researched Amendment one and just to give.

00:09:00
Speaker 5: People the information, right, right, Okay, So Amendment one basically says that we would change the Kentucky Constitution. We would make an amendment to say that you have that non citizens cannot vote in Kentucky.

00:09:17
Speaker 3: Now, I mean, and then there's other parts of it.

00:09:20
Speaker 5: But people who've seen the amendment see that we use some language in the amendment that's ancient and that is kind of sad and that shouldn't be in there. I don't know why they don't just change that too, to maybe take some of that out, but they're not. That's old language.

00:09:35
Speaker 3: Really.

00:09:35
Speaker 5: The only part that would change is it would add a sentence that says non citizens can't vote.

00:09:42
Speaker 3: To me, I mean, it.

00:09:43
Speaker 5: Doesn't really matter because I'm going to vote no, just because I think what they're doing is kind of just trying to get you on the process of voting.

00:09:52
Speaker 3: Yes, but you already can't vote if you're a citizen, like it's already that's already the rule. That's the rule federally.

00:09:59
Speaker 5: Apparently in some states you can if you're not a citizen, vote on like school board, but Kentucky is not one of those states. So I guess this is confirming that that wouldn't happen in Kentucky.

00:10:10
Speaker 3: But whatever, you decide to do there. I don't think matters a lot, right, whatever you want to do.

00:10:15
Speaker 2: So, if it's already illegal that you can't vote if you're a citizen, why are we going through all this?

00:10:19
Speaker 5: The cynic would say, they want you to get in the habit of voting yes so that you will vote yes on amendment too. The non cynic would say, well, we want to make sure the legislature never allows non citizens to vote in school board races. I don't know that that was going to happen, but that would be the cynic and the nonsynic view. So that's number one. Number two is of course the controversial one, and it would allow so right now, the Constitution of Kentucky does not allow the government to give money for students to go to private schools. This would allow the legislature to do that. It wouldn't immediately make it happen, but it would allow, and then the legislature would draw up a bill, presumably to decide how to do it. The people for it, I'm going to give the case for both of them. The people for it would say, there are a lot of failing schools. This would allow competition, allow private schools to come in and people's the money from the kid would follow to the school, and the theory would be if public schools have competition from private schools, everybody gets better.

00:11:27
Speaker 3: That's the theory.

00:11:29
Speaker 5: The people against it would say, you're just going to end up defunding schools, and the schools that.

00:11:35
Speaker 3: Struggle will struggle even more.

00:11:38
Speaker 5: Because they will now lose funding from the students that go. And they would say, most of the people who want this are people who already have kids in private school anyway and just want to get some of their money back from their taxes.

00:11:50
Speaker 3: That's what the people against it would say.

00:11:53
Speaker 5: My position for whatever people care, and you should still make your own decision. My position is there are some situations in America where I actually think there are situations where having some public money to private schools in the worst thing in the world, especially for minority students in areas that I've really struggled.

00:12:15
Speaker 3: The problem, though, is that's not what's gonna happen.

00:12:19
Speaker 5: What will be happening is they'd apply it to the whole state, and if you live in a rural area and you lost money from your students to go to private schools, you will kill kill the public schools in rural areas. In cities sometimes I actually think there are examples of where it's worked, like in New York sometimes Chicago a little bit. But in rural areas it would kill you. And the legislature has put up bills that I think would decimate schools that already struggle to have resources. So for me, it's an easy no. And if you look the money behind it, it's all money from groups that already have their kids in private school now. So if you told me this is targeted just for the city of Louisville, just for the city of Lexington to a few areas that are underserved, could be convinced. But statewide, for me, it's a definite no. So that's where I am on it.

00:13:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, clause I grew up in the public school system. My dad was a public school administrator, and are both in a rural area. And I'm like you, I've seen how most a lot of rural schools are struggling financially anyway, then you're gonna take some money away from them even more. It's not not a good idea.

00:13:33
Speaker 3: So that's just my view.

00:13:34
Speaker 5: But I didn't want people to know what they're voting on because you can start doing that. So that's Amendment one and two. Those are the only two that I think are on this ballot. Who's up next, Jordan? Jordan, Go ahead, Jordan.

00:13:48
Speaker 7: Hey, Matt, Just just a quick thing about football. I think one thing that's really like on my mind is this week especially is just kind of like riding the ship and the season. I think we're kind of locked in with Brock, so I'd really like to see him like take off, kind of like Lewis did at the end of year one.

00:14:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's an interesting question.

00:14:11
Speaker 5: Do you, Drew, do you think Brock is the quarterback here no matter what next year?

00:14:18
Speaker 3: Appreciate the call, sir.

00:14:19
Speaker 6: I mean I think so. I'm barring some wild scenario where somebody good really wants to get here he sees another opportunity, But I think the plan is I think the plan was always he'd be a two year guy.

00:14:30
Speaker 2: What do you think, right, Yeah, I think that's been the plan. You come here for be a two year guy.

00:14:34
Speaker 3: Are you comfortable with that?

00:14:36
Speaker 5: Like, do you think he's been good enough that that makes complete sense?

00:14:41
Speaker 2: I'm comfortable with it. But I really thought by this time he would be a little farther along than he is. I think he's still struggling a little bit. The quarterback players have been the greatest this year, so I'm I'm a little disappointed he's not to where I thought he would be going into the Auburn game.

00:14:53
Speaker 5: Here, the optimist thing for Brock would be to say this, now that Brock's here and he's kind of locked in, you can use your in eye money and go get some offensive linemen during the during the off season because you don't have to go worry about getting a quarterback.

00:15:06
Speaker 6: You got cutter.

00:15:06
Speaker 5: After that, The negative would be, I don't know how many these wide receivers gonna be here next year, and so that's a whole nother situation. And then you have the running back position. You wonder what the skill positions are gonna look like Drew next year for Brock, even if he returns, and even if the offensive line is better.

00:15:23
Speaker 6: Yeah, but even though Brock's been disappointing, I wanted to be fire along too. At some point you just have to have some continuity return some guys through so Hampden and Vandergriff coming back next year that could be the first time in forever We've had a quarterback and coordinator come back from the year before, and I think that really matters. And a lot of quarterbacks who are great now start as slow. You can make a big jump from year one.

00:15:44
Speaker 2: To year two.

00:15:44
Speaker 3: Now.

00:15:44
Speaker 6: Brock's a little older because he was on the bench, but getting a full season under his belt, in the full summer with the same people around him. As far as coaching, I think he can make a leap next year. But there's no doubt it's been disappointing so far.

00:15:54
Speaker 5: You can experience your healthy happy hour with Cornbread's new breeze product. Shannon's been on vake. He came back smelling like blueberries. I wonder why you go to corn Bred Hemp full spectrum flour only HMP CBD feel happy, relieved and carefree. It's corn Bred Hemp. Thirty percent off your order with the promo code KSR. It is Cornbread Hemp. We will take a break and we will be right back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio working back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio here live on uh on KSR AFF nine two eight, twenty two eighty seven here at forty six solutions. By the way, DraftKings. When I gave the thing, took it off at plus three thousand. It's now back on, but it's plufs two thousand, which means the people here listening to this show moved the line ten points.

00:16:42
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's good.

00:16:43
Speaker 5: We still wanted it a plus three thousand, but that's a pretty sharp move for one statement on radio. So for the people who say, oh, Matt, nobody listened to you anymore, I guess they do because they just moved the line on DraftKings quite.

00:16:55
Speaker 6: What Kentucky Sharp Radio. That's where we are now. We are the smart betters that move on.

00:16:59
Speaker 5: Oh we got it. It's one thing to listen live instead of on podcast. Shannon, you can make sure you get it before the line moves, right.

00:17:05
Speaker 4: We don't move the needle. We are the needle. We've heard that.

00:17:09
Speaker 2: Who said that, you know plenty a long time ago.

00:17:12
Speaker 4: We don't talk about how many.

00:17:13
Speaker 5: You're gonna watch the if? Do you have Hoggs plus to watch.

00:17:17
Speaker 2: The No, that's not a thing, is it? They can't?

00:17:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, what are you talking about? This is not what Shannon watched on vacation.

00:17:27
Speaker 5: This was this wasn't This is the Arkansas UH Insider The Arkansas Insider site is called Hoggs Plus.

00:17:35
Speaker 6: I saw a great tweet it said, so only fans is poorn and Hoggs Plus is for sports.

00:17:42
Speaker 3: That's exactly right.

00:17:44
Speaker 5: But on Hoggs Plus tonight Arkansas and Kansas with Arkansas only having five healthy players.

00:17:49
Speaker 2: Run I got feder douggas football not paying attention to that. But seriously, if it was going to be a real game, it would interest me a lot more. If they wouldn't have a real scrimmage.

00:17:59
Speaker 3: You know, I would watch if there's nothing else going on, and it was on.

00:18:02
Speaker 8: But getting Paine did a great preview. He sent, who know what time it is? I know what time it is, but but it's on. It's only on Hogs Plus. So unless you have that, you check out check out Hogs. Who's up next?

00:18:16
Speaker 3: Little John? Little John? How are you?

00:18:20
Speaker 9: I'm good?

00:18:20
Speaker 3: How you guys doing doing good? What's up?

00:18:23
Speaker 9: I was gonna jump. I was gonna jump on that bed until I saw all the odds going down. I've seen some of the draft U some of the betting boards has Kentucky as low as a thousand.

00:18:32
Speaker 3: Now to when this, Yeah, not only did we move the line on draft kicks. I think we did it on all the sites unfortunately, but yeah, with the end of the year, you'll thank me.

00:18:41
Speaker 10: But go ahead, Okay.

00:18:44
Speaker 9: My question was what kind of game do you think Brock needs tomorrow to be successful against Auvereign to have Kentucky possibly winning. I like, do you think a certain amount of yards? I know a lot of the odds are around one, seventy four and seventy five over under.

00:19:00
Speaker 5: I think he's gonna have to be over for us to win just because we're just because we lost our two top running backs. I think maybe Ryan he may have to run the ball quite a bit too. I mean, I think we're probably gonna see both quarterbacks run. I mean, but if the numbers won seventy four, I kind of think if we're gonna win Ryan, it might have to be over.

00:19:18
Speaker 2: He's run the ball. He's a better runner than I thought he was going into the season, to be honest. But like I said, you know, as much as I want every every pass go to Dane, he's had.

00:19:26
Speaker 3: Eight I know, you do you talk about it.

00:19:28
Speaker 2: He had eight receptions. The whole team, rust of the team had seven. I mean, he's got to find Barry on Brown, he's got Maclin's kind of been.

00:19:35
Speaker 5: Macklin's been the one that they just true. They just haven't been able to get him involved. And when you look at the at the numbers he put up at North Texas, you gotta say, like, I'm sure he didn't come here thinking he was gonna catch four balls on the year. It's gotta be surprising that that hasn't worked.

00:19:51
Speaker 6: I even said before the season started, look out he might leap Dane and barryon and be the team's leading receiver. Just very wrong on that one. Add that to the list. It's just the offense has been so disappointing this year. I thought this was gonna be one of their best groups. We didn't know what would happen with the coordinator, but as far as the roster looks so good on paper and to have five touchdowns or whatever it is in SEC is ridiculous.

00:20:11
Speaker 5: Let's talk about what happens if we win or lose. All right, So if we win and we're four and four play Tennessee next week, I feel like the fans will still be engaged in that game, hoping we can pull off and up set there.

00:20:26
Speaker 3: And then of course you gotta.

00:20:27
Speaker 5: Buy after that if we lose, like, are the fans just like all right, basketball time?

00:20:34
Speaker 3: I mean, what do you think we've seen it?

00:20:36
Speaker 2: We know exactly that's what's gonna happen, especially after what the basketball team just showed us Tuesday night. There's Wednesday night. There's absolutely no doubt in my mind, if they stink it up and they lose another home game, our fan base will check out and go straight.

00:20:49
Speaker 4: To basketball coming off of a seventy one point win. Granted it's an exhibition game, but the excitement of the basketball side of things versus where we are with football, think fans football fans will check out and immediately turn their attention to basketball.

00:21:05
Speaker 5: I'm go so far drewis to say, I think the loser of this game, you are very unlikely to see that coach coaching the team the next year.

00:21:16
Speaker 6: I could see that. Also, Mississippi State play host Arkansas. I think they're a six point underdog if they win that. The loser of this game is dead last in the conference in Kentucky is not gonna win another SEC game.

00:21:28
Speaker 5: With If you lose Auburn, it's hard to think you're gonna beat two hack one.

00:21:32
Speaker 6: Win in the SEC, you'll have lost all four at home, and then three of those you're an underdog. I mean three of those you're a favorite game.

00:21:39
Speaker 5: I mean, that's a good way to put it, which is, if we were to lose this game, we're gonna come in fifteenth in the SEC out of sixteenth.

00:21:47
Speaker 6: Sixteenth, still on the table, beat Arkansas.

00:21:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what's so frustrated. This team, to me, is better than that. They're better than the fifteenth ranked team or the sixteenth team in the SEC. It is not played very well this year.

00:22:01
Speaker 3: Who's next? Aaron? Aaron, go ahead, Aeron.

00:22:07
Speaker 10: You all just actually brought up something I was just actually about to talk about, which was the fan base and to deal with this football game. I don't want us to fall behind anymore. I don't think we fall behind talent wise, Okay, I don't think we have. I but we fell behind these teams because they beat us. And right now, I think our team needs our fan base, and I've been at those games and it's been perval and I really think we need to Our boys need us this game because this is a game. We cannot lose this game. We cannot fall behind anymore. This is on the way. We're on the way to disaster. If we do not.

00:22:47
Speaker 5: Say the fan base has come to every game. I mean the fan base has brought it all year.

00:22:51
Speaker 3: Fan base has.

00:22:51
Speaker 5: Brought it even through you know, lightning strikes and and and poor performances. The fan base has brought it. I agree we can do it one more time, but I will say, hey, if we lose this one, I'll understand if the fans are like where, I'm moving on to something else.

00:23:04
Speaker 3: I mean, I just will.

00:23:05
Speaker 5: And Kentucky also has the number twenty one recruiting class for next year. Like they've got a good recruiting class. I'm not sure talent. Talent is not the issue. It's been the issue in years past. It is not the issue now. It's just performance A five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. We will take a break here at forty six solutions.

00:23:52
Speaker 3: Pretty good game me on the SEC network.

00:23:54
Speaker 5: Arkansas Kansas nine o'clock Kentucky's game Tuesday night against Minnesota State and Cato is uh on the computer at seven o'clock. By the way, defending Division two national champion. I mean, this is like, it's good. Honestly, It's the best team you could play in the country in an exhibition game unless you were to like do something like they're doing. Unless you're doing something because Division Arkansas Cans is an example of like a you're playing a real game. But if you were to play like most teams do, a Division two three n ai team Ryan is.

00:24:28
Speaker 3: Probably the best team you could play. Defending national champion with.

00:24:31
Speaker 6: Three or four of their starters back.

00:24:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, when Myron was on with this this summer and broke the story that is Alma Monor, he told us he's looked, this is a better team you're gonna play in maybe some of your non conference games in November. This team can play. This is a really good Division two basketball team.

00:24:45
Speaker 6: We're trying to do the whole segment.

00:24:46
Speaker 3: What you're trying. Yeah, I can't do that. I can't do that. I'm not I'm not good at the stage.

00:24:53
Speaker 2: I'm out.

00:24:54
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:24:54
Speaker 5: So the thing is what you stand? What'd you say, Shannon? Stand on your non dominant foot?

00:24:58
Speaker 2: Yeah?

00:24:59
Speaker 4: See how long you can bow? It's on your non dominant foot. And that is supposed to reflect your age.

00:25:04
Speaker 3: Your actual age, or like your what your body feels like, you're.

00:25:07
Speaker 4: A biological age whatever that means. I guess how how you how your body responds?

00:25:12
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, yeah, I don't like that.

00:25:16
Speaker 5: The uh, the the Menendez brothers feels like something this is you would care about. The la DA has announced that he is going or yeah, he or she not sure whoever is going to uh they're going to re sentence or potentially look at letting the Menindez brothers out after thirty years in jail.

00:25:39
Speaker 3: What do you think about that?

00:25:40
Speaker 4: So, I mean, obviously people were going to say it's because of the netflixer. Of course it is, but the attorney said it was going to happen anyway. Just maybe it happened a couple of weeks earlier.

00:25:51
Speaker 5: What attorney the DA, Yeah, the DA running for reelection in ten days.

00:25:56
Speaker 4: So it's gonna happen anyway.

00:25:57
Speaker 3: So wait a minute, that's even worse.

00:26:00
Speaker 5: The DA running for a re election at ten day says we were going to do it a couple.

00:26:03
Speaker 6: Of weeks from now, Yeah, anyway.

00:26:05
Speaker 3: But now we're doing it ten days before the election.

00:26:08
Speaker 6: Yeah, come on, yeah you believe that?

00:26:10
Speaker 3: Come on, No, of.

00:26:11
Speaker 5: Course it's because of the Netflix show, Like, when's the last time you thought of the Menendez brothers until I mean, look, what's crazy to me is I was.

00:26:21
Speaker 3: A little too young to follow it as it happened.

00:26:24
Speaker 5: But I do remember them, and I don't remember the sympathy for them that there is now, Like in the moment, I don't think that existed, and the same stories were out then. I mean it came out at the trial. I don't remember. It's just interesting how it's interesting how people's views of things can change based on how things are presented to them. I mean, we see it in politics in the news all the time, but it's also true just in life that I just feel like the world's view of the Menendez brothers is now completely different than it was Shannon, and when the actual trial happened. I'm not saying they shouldn't be let out. I honestly don't know enough about it. I've only finished two or three of the episodes, but it is it is interesting to me how that.

00:27:08
Speaker 4: Happens when you see it play out on your screen. It almost but with actors, I don't know, like if glorify as the word, but it it sort of paints the picture in a different line if.

00:27:20
Speaker 5: You go on TikTok, like all these people who aren't even alive during it are celebrating the decision, and like the only thing they know.

00:27:28
Speaker 3: About it is the television show.

00:27:30
Speaker 5: So like, I don't know, I just find it interesting Ryan that like, and then for the person to get up there and go, well, it just it just coincidence. I mean, come on, of course it's because of the television show, right, you.

00:27:40
Speaker 2: Know it it was a big deal seeing it in real time in the nineties, it was like the you know, the first trial we got to watch kind of live as it went along. But now the Netflix series people, I mean, you forget they did brutally murder their two parents.

00:27:53
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not making an argument about it because I you know, there's an abuse oalad, there's a lot going into it. It's just interesting how it's just flipped so quickly. And then when they get out of jail, let's assume they do like they're gonna be celebrities and like it's gonna be really strange. They're gonna be like they're gonna be on like a reality show or something true.

00:28:14
Speaker 3: I mean, they will like that's gonna happen.

00:28:17
Speaker 6: Yep, we're gonna get keeping up with them in Menindeza's and they're gonna be on our TV. That's just the society we live in. I've watched most of the Netflix show, and I don't know enough to say side by side how it compares. But I've read a lot that says it took a lot of liberties with its storyteller.

00:28:30
Speaker 3: Did Yeah.

00:28:31
Speaker 5: I mean, it's a you know, it's a it's a it's a television show.

00:28:34
Speaker 3: So I don't know.

00:28:36
Speaker 5: I mean, I, first of all, it's just my opinion. I think even for we put people in jail for long periods of time, and thirty years long time to be in jail when you think about it, So you know, I don't know whether they should be out or not, but I can tell you this, I bet the people when when you lived through that, I don't think people thought they would see the day that these guys would be out and sort of.

00:28:58
Speaker 3: Celebrated in some way like like it's happened.

00:29:02
Speaker 4: The other real winners in this series is Milly Vanilly because now popular in the fact because of the brothers love of Milli Vanilly.

00:29:10
Speaker 5: What an amazing turn of events that everybody now loves that song.

00:29:15
Speaker 3: That's crazy. Who's next, Brandon? Brandon? How are you? Brandon?

00:29:22
Speaker 1: Hey?

00:29:22
Speaker 5: What's up? Matt?

00:29:23
Speaker 11: I'm going on coming. I live out in Michigan and I'm coming down to Lexington for tomorrow's game. And uh, it's my birthday weekend and I could be watching the big the Big Ten rivalry between Michigan and Michigan State, which is huge up here, but instead I'm coming down to Lexington. Uh, following the Gators game last week?

00:29:47
Speaker 10: What does uh?

00:29:48
Speaker 11: What do we have to do to step up? And I know dsk is out this weekend, so he's gonna have to fill that well.

00:29:55
Speaker 5: I mean we talked about Patterson Wilcox, they'll play What do you think Ryan or the he's to winning this game. Just as a practical matter, if you're Mark Stoops and you're in there and you're talking to him, what do we have to do?

00:30:05
Speaker 2: I heard Tom Lee say this this morning. Gotta can't turn the ball over. And that's why the reason Auburn is kind of been prone to turn in the ball over. That's why they've lost a couple of their games. Then turnover prone. Take care of the football and when you get it down in the close to the red zone, inside the thirty, you gotta punch it in. You gotta get a touchdown. We can't just walk away with field goals every time down there. They've got to find a way to get it in the end zone.

00:30:25
Speaker 5: It's interesting to think, what if we had just been better in the red zone this year, If we had just been better in the red zone, we beat Georgia, we beat Vandy, and then who knows how that plays into the Florida game. If you had won those games, I mean, who knows, But we would have been just that little simple thing, Drew and you're a much different team.

00:30:44
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:30:44
Speaker 6: Uh, for tomorrow, they're gonna have to get turnovers like Auburn knows that bad and they're gonna have might even have to score. You know, just last week at Florida, Uh, Christian Story gets an interception six to three yards to five and we offense can't help them out. But you're gonna need to play like that against Auburn and the offense, whether it be will Cox, Patterson Whims at Vandergriff, they're gonna have to run to set up the pass. Kentucky's not a team that can just drop back and pass all day. They're gonna have to move the ball on the ground against a pretty stout defensive line, and then they're gonna have to hit some shots downfield to score. I think it's gonna be a low scoring game regardless, but I think the defense is gonna have to help out.

00:31:18
Speaker 5: I we'll see. I mean we the program needs this. I think Mark Stoops needs this, fan base needs it. It's it's a it is a massive game, and you know, all I can say is we'll see. I hope it works out. I do, but I I have a bad I have a.

00:31:34
Speaker 3: Bad feeling about said tomorrow night. I do. In the middle of.

00:31:37
Speaker 6: August, when we're thinking what this team could be, I wouldn't have believed you if you said they'd lose to South Carolina, Vanderbilt, and potentially Auburn at home all three of the home games you're supposed to win. To do anything special, I couldn't wrap my brain around how that could happen. It could be right in front of us tomorrow.

00:31:52
Speaker 5: By the way, tomorrow the games at seven thirty. Our pregame show will start at three point thirty at ks Bar, open all day, kind of the last full day that you we can have there at KOs Bar until the Louisville game. So I mean we're talking over a month of without having home games with the last full full game, so hopefully come out and see us.

00:32:13
Speaker 3: Tomorrow.

00:32:14
Speaker 5: We will be doing the show there three thirty, five thirty, and then just for people on your scheduling, my trivia, I'm doing Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving.

I'm taking Arkansas on the road of this big who's naking art Well? I already picked it yesterday on our Draftkams saying, I'm taking Arkansas on the road against Mississippi State. All they gotta do is win. Mississippi State's one and six. I think Arkansas is better than their record. They've played some close games and lost. I'm going to take Arkansas as the team to throw in there.

00:34:56
Speaker 3: What about you?

00:34:56
Speaker 2: Right, I'm gonna take the undefeated Indiana Hoosiers six point favorite at home over Washington.

00:35:02
Speaker 3: You just cursed them.

00:35:03
Speaker 4: This is the first loss of the year.

00:35:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like that one so far.

00:35:07
Speaker 5: Though those are two big, heavy favorites, our odds won't be great unless one of you kind of goes out on a limb.

00:35:11
Speaker 6: You're usually like an underdog. If you all want to get crazy, I already hit one underdog this year. You want another?

00:35:17
Speaker 3: Plus, I want you to pick what you want.

00:35:19
Speaker 6: I won't do it. I'm gonna bet against Neil Brown Arizona hosting West Virginia unless you want b Yu and Central Florida as an underdog. But I'm gonna go Arizona.

00:35:28
Speaker 3: You're going to Arizona.

00:35:29
Speaker 5: So we got Arizon slumping, though we got Indiana, and we've got uh, We've got Arkansas.

00:35:34
Speaker 6: I'm going b YU. I'm feeling it. There're two and a half point underdog on the road. Hey, this loves b YU. We love Mormons. B YU wins to stay undefeated in Central Florida. That'll that'll change the odds drastically.

00:35:45
Speaker 3: We need a.

00:35:46
Speaker 5: Whole different review on Mormon wives after watching that show. So we'll go b YU Arkansas. And who's you Indiana?

00:35:54
Speaker 3: Yeah? What about you? You're gonna email this right, Mario, Iran Channon, who are you?

00:35:57
Speaker 4: This won't help our odds a lot, but we are going to win with this one. I'm gonna take Penn State on the road. They're a six and a half point favorite over Wisconsin.

00:36:05
Speaker 6: Penn State, we needed a dog. Those are big spreads.

00:36:08
Speaker 5: I got so Penn State, Indiana, Arkansas and by U. Yes, it was spanning the globe there on that one, from one end of the country, uh to the other eight? I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven? Who's up next? You are clear? You gotta tell me when we're clear? You go not giving me a heads up?

00:36:28
Speaker 3: All right? If I'm nine, dude? When we came back.

00:36:31
Speaker 5: Okay, it's sorry. Ay, I'm nine two oh twenty two eighty seven. I want to give you one quote. Mark Pope said yesterday that I liked the lot. He said, quote, uh, can we are deadly serious about winning. He basically said, we are here to win every game, and we are deadly serious about winning. I think about that as we head into November and December. Again, that wasn't always the philosophy about November and December games. Do you like the quote we are deadly seurious about winning every game?

00:37:01
Speaker 2: Yes? I want my coach to have that philosophy. I want them to win non conference games at home and not lose in North Carolina Wilmington or in Evansville or something like that. I don't want to hear we're built for March. I want to win every single game. I want to be Kentucky basketball.

00:37:16
Speaker 5: I think our fans feel that way too, Drew. So I do think if you're you're sitting there going how do you appeal to the fan base, I'm not sure you can say something much better.

00:37:24
Speaker 6: I think it's pretty clear if someone gave Pope some notes of what needs to be corrected from the past regime and making every game matter, and that hunger to win every single game. That was very refreshing to hear. I can't wait for what he says when we get to Nashville for the SEC Tournament, because that's gonna start mattering again. But and you can just tell them by the way they played against Wesleyan how serious they are. In that first exhibition game. They they've played hard the entire game. It shows the culture he's built around, how much they want to win.

00:37:48
Speaker 4: And we're not being told, hey, be patient, you know it's gonna don't And I would understand that with a new coach and a completely new roster, I would understand that, but we're not hearing that from Pope.

00:37:59
Speaker 3: It is really amazing. We've talked about all.

00:38:03
Speaker 5: The various massive changes in the culture of the program, but even the culture of our lineup. This is the oldest lineup in the history of Kentucky basketball. We have never in the history of the school had an older starting lineup than the lineup we're putting out on.

00:38:19
Speaker 3: The floor this year.

00:38:20
Speaker 5: We're starting four grad students, not just four seniors, four grad students. I think because of that Ryan the sort of well, you know, they're young, like they're coming out of the gate.

00:38:33
Speaker 6: They're gonna get.

00:38:33
Speaker 5: More cohesive as the year goes on, but the guys kind of are who they are right now. I mean, Colin Chandler and the other freshmen are well, they'll develop, but the rest of the guys that kind of is who they is right.

00:38:45
Speaker 2: I love some of the culotes who that came out, even even though it was an exhibition game agains Kentucky Wesleyan. These fifth year seniors were talking about, this was the funnest game I've ever been in. This the largest crowd I've ever played in front of. I can't believe how excited they were for us for play basketball exhibition game. It's like they're all young freshmen again. They're all kind of giving a rebirth again.

00:39:05
Speaker 6: For years, Kentucky was a step on their ladder to get somewhere else. And I'm not saying they didn't appreciate it. It wasn't fun or they didn't win games. But for a lot of guys on UK's team, this is like the top of the ladder. This is their NBA. They don't a lot of them won't play in the NBA, so this is the big leagues for them, and we're gonna see how much it means to them, how hard they go.

00:39:21
Speaker 5: I think the appreciation that people that the players have for being here is a really cool thing.

00:39:28
Speaker 3: And I'm with you.

00:39:29
Speaker 5: I always think that people in the past who sort of said all those guys don't care, they cared.

00:39:33
Speaker 3: They cared.

00:39:34
Speaker 5: Just go look at that video of Fox and Bam crying after they lost to North Carolina. Speaking of that, the video of Fox and Monk, I don't know I posted it last night, but the Sacramento was doing this thing where Fox and Monk where all their players from all the teams would be signing jerseys and then they would slip in a jersey that had their rival team like on.

00:39:56
Speaker 3: The front of it.

00:39:57
Speaker 5: And so they went through all these guys and they was like, say for seven of them, but Fox and Monk were in it. They show Fox and they slip in North Carolina and he was like, I ain't signing this and they and they and the other guy goes, well, you know, I bet on North Carolina in that game, and Fox goes, where are those dudes now?

00:40:14
Speaker 3: That I love that one, which I thought was a really good answer.

00:40:18
Speaker 5: But then Monk, if you had any worries about Monk because he went to that said something nice about Arkansas and all that monks going through there. And then they put Louisville in there, and Monk goes, I ain't signing this throws it and then they look at him and going and he goes, blank Louisville.

00:40:38
Speaker 3: Now that's our guy right.

00:40:39
Speaker 6: Here, and he adds, I went to Kentucky.

00:40:41
Speaker 3: I went to Kentucky. Yeah, blank Louisville. I love that both.

00:40:45
Speaker 6: Of those guys. I mean, I had no doubt that they're still blue, but just the way they did it. I love when Fox said, yeah, where are those guys now, Like, yeah, let's talk about that team.

00:40:53
Speaker 5: I was chanting, we want the only thing we want of our players, or one thing we want. We wanted to win, but we also want him to care about it as much as we do. Yeah, and I think the almost all the cow guys did. But it's still nice to see now Fox and Monks coach are gone and they still feel that way.

00:41:14
