00:01:07
Speaker 3: I re number two Kentucky Sports Radio A five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven, text machine seven seven two seven seven four five two five four. The KSR Golf Scramble is now on sale for Lexington. It is on sale starting eleven o'clock. The link let's see, Drew, do you mind tweeting out the link until I can do after the show?

00:01:29
Speaker 5: All right, Drew Frank It's to Kentucky Sports Radio dot.

00:01:32
Speaker 3: It's also on Kentucky Sports Radio dot com. So if you would like to play. It is always fun. This year it's at the UK Club, which I think is a great course to have it at Lexington, two different courses playing the event. If you've never played in it, it's one of the most fun things we do all year. Uh. The Lexington one is especially exciting because there's a ton of people and it's it's just it'll be at the end of May. I think it's May twenty ninth, I believe is the date. So check in, get your team and play. It'll sell out, So don't don't be don't waste your time, but go down, go and join us. Like I said, great day for KSR fans, and always Lexington especially, I'll always have special guests, so make sure to sign up and look forward to seeing you out there at the end of May for the KSR Golf Scramble. We a couple questions coming in here. One person writes, Matt, I understand about Shay and Caseon. It is what it is. But people need a place to go when their career is over. That's when all these guys embrace Kentucky. Ryan, I totally agree with that. You know, you get what you get one school, and I don't think, like, you know, how many times do we see Derek Rose at a Kentucky game right like he's his school is Memphis. So I do think ultimately these guys when it's over, they picked the school they went too because they will be beloved there forever. I mean, it would be weird for Caseon Wallace to show up in an Arkansas game in thirty years. The people would be like, what are you doing here? You know, so it'll be would be Kentucky.

00:03:12
Speaker 2: I think as they get older, like I said earlier, it kind of soaks in more because they come back and they feel that love. We even heard from guys like Khalil Whitney who kind of left kind of in a little shadow of controversy. He comes back and then still here. He loves his place here. So I think maybe as time goes on, Case and Walls will come back, feel the love and become more of a part of our family again.

00:03:31
Speaker 3: Another person writes, Matt, you've gone a long time without commenting on the fact that the president denied your request to come on the radio to talk about Mitch Barnhart's contract. They did. UK denied and said President Capaluto would not come on. I asked about having him on to talk about the I thought, by the way, it was one point eight million. I talked to you to a spokesman for UK yesterday. I actually drew it was more money than that because they did not add so the WKYT initially reported that they added one hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year in salary, and they reported that added two hundred and fifty thousand dollars bonus. UK tells me they did not add the bonus, so take that two point fifty away. But they actually added drew two years to his contract, which I thought it was just one. So if you do the math, there that ends up being around two to two point one million dollars of extra money. So I offered to have President cap Ludo on to be questioned about it, and they have denied the request. I asked them last Monday or last Tuesday, and just heard back from him yesterday. I am told they are doing an interview with another show on another station, which you know, I'll let everybody make whatever comment they want about whether or not it makes sense to go on a show Shannon that honestly I didn't know existed until I was told they were going on it. No, that's not I'm not even talking trash. I didn't even know that show existed. So you know, if they want to go on a show where they might as well go open the window and scream outside, that's fine. But you know, you can make your own determination why they wouldn't want to face questions here. But nevertheless, that's the that's the response.

00:05:35
Speaker 2: Is that impression, what are you hiding? Why won't you come on and talk about why are you hiding?

00:05:39
Speaker 5: Well, it is what they don't have answers, that's what's happening.

00:05:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, what are you going to say? I mean, I mean, what are you going to say, like, and I think that's part of I'm told they're going to do some media and and that's fine. But the question is you can do media where you're asked questions or not. I would ask questions. I think people know that and so they chose not to. But it's inarguable that this is the biggest platform. Okay, that's not there's no way to debate that. So if you want to get your story out, this is clearly the best place to do it. If you don't, well that's I mean, that's ultimately your choice. UK and Santa Clara. I put out that video yesterday, Drew saying why are we all acting like we're scared of Santa Clara? And it felt like most people I think agreed with me. I feel better about the game today than I even did yesterday. I don't understand everybody's fretting. Don't get me wrong. We could still definitely lose, because this team is shown they can lose to a lot of teams, but we are better than them and if we play the way we should, we will win. Drew, is that how you feel going into it?

00:07:04
Speaker 5: I feel pretty good, you know, having the lowest point spread of the opening round isn't the most exciting. There's one other game that was a one and a half. We're next is the tightest point spread for all the games for all I mean there were other two and a half's, but two and a half. There's only one spread that was one and a half. So we're we're right there is what the Desert thinks about it. But I still just feel like as a fan base, we're being a little too cautious because we've been hurt so much recently. This is Santa Clara, but yeah, they played Gonzaga three times and they lost all three, and they beat Santa Saint Mary's, which is a great team. But but they on that they haven't really been challenged. And I think even though we're pretty disappointed in Kentucky running that gauntlet of the SEC that they just did, I feel like they played pretty well in all three games the SEC Tournament. Just could make shots on Friday. This should be a game Kentucky handles this. I mean, this is a logo game. If we show up intimidated at all, that's a problem. You have to be prepared to beat a team from the third place team in the West Coast Conference in your Kentucky. That is a game you have to win and it should be Inexcuse me, I don't care how many threes they take that you would lose in the first round of this team. So I have concerns about round two, but I am not looking ahead. But I'm also not panicking because Santa Clara is in front of us.

00:08:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean what. I understand that we lost to Oakland and Saint Peter's, but that was not Mark Pope. And I know we've lost a bunch of games this year, but correct me if I'm wrong. Is every team that's beat us this year? Are they in the tournament? Am I correct about that? Not Auburn? But Auburn is the only one and they were the first team out right.

00:08:42
Speaker 5: Yeah?

00:08:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I mean Saint Peter excuse me, yuh, Santa.

00:08:47
Speaker 4: Clara, I don't say that name in Marge.

00:08:49
Speaker 3: Santa Clara has lost to Loyola Chicago, to New Mexico, into Arizona State. And as far as wins they have over tournament teams, they have two Saint Mary's. That's it. They beat Saint Mary's twice, but they lost his Xavier. Excuse me, they beat Xavier, they beat Nevada, and the only major conference team they've beaten is Minnesota, who I think came in last place in the Big in the Big Ten. So you know, again, could we lose. Of course we could lose, But the fretting about it, Ryan just doesn't make any sense to me.

00:09:27
Speaker 2: Oll we're gun shy because of what has happened the last couple of years I've been. I went to three different places yesterday and heard the same thing. We elst Ny Claire shoots a lot of threes and you're a great offense.

00:09:37
Speaker 3: Shannon. You said this in the preset, Like, who's watched them?

00:09:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, all of a sudden, everybody's a Santa Clara expert.

00:09:43
Speaker 3: I hear.

00:09:43
Speaker 4: I'm so tired that we don't match up well with Santa Clair. If we don't het up well with Santa Clara, then who do we match up well with?

00:09:49
Speaker 3: Tell me the same people who are were vaccine experts and who are weather experts have become Santa Clara experts.

00:09:58
Speaker 4: That's true, Very you haven't watched them play a second.

00:10:01
Speaker 3: You haven't watched them play like when they say they shoot threes. Well, my question is, do you think we shoot threes well, because we shoot the same percentage they do. So who shoots threes? Well, they shoot the exact same percentage we do. So I mean, unless you think we just light up the nets, Drew, I don't know how you can say that, well they rebound well, well, our rebound differential is greater than THEIRS, and we play better teams.

00:10:30
Speaker 4: And those teams are playing are they better defensively than Kentucky is? Those teams they're shooting well against, they're not shooting against SEC caliber teams.

00:10:37
Speaker 3: I mean, if our rebound differentials better than theirs and we play better teams, how can you look at me in the face and say they're a really great rebounding team. Now that doesn't mean they won't beat us. It doesn't mean that they are that they aren't good. But when did we get so scared as this fan base and you can't just say, well, I've been let down or Mark Pope's not a good coach. Some of it is also like you walk in this building like you're a Kentucky fan. We don't walk in and go oh, Santa Quella, come on, I completely agree with you. If you want to be nervous about Iowa, stay fine, but this is Santa Clara.

00:11:20
Speaker 5: And I would remember I would rather play their style of basketball than a team that wants to just come in and turn it into a rock fight and play in the forties. If they want to get up and down and play and transition and shooting, Okay, I think that's a better matchup for Kentucky. Now, sure they're guys. I mean they have three All Conference first team players. I mean they deserve some respect. And if those guys get hot and shoot fifty percent from three, is sure, maybe we're going home. But I'm not walking into this with nightmares of Santa Clara Broncos in the first round.

00:11:47
Speaker 3: How many of our guys if they played in the West Coast Conference wouldn't be first team All American or first team All Conference or whatever it is they have. First of all, I think, don't they have like ten guys on the first team? Okay, so they got three of them, that's nice. You think Oway would be first team in the West Coast Conference? Yep? You think Aberdeen would be first team in the West Coast Conference? Probably? You think Moreno, would you think Jack Chandler would like there'd be a lot of our guys would be if they played in that conference. It's just I don't get I don't understand the being afraid. It's the doom and gloom. I get frustrated. Everyone should be frustrated. But there is a moment that when you're playing. Since they haven't been to the tournament, Shannons and Steve Nash played years ago. That was thirty years ago. If they win, it's a disaster. It's Jack Gulky. It may not be Jack Gulky, but like it's a disaster. But to be scared of them, you know, I want to be like Marlon Brando and the Godfather and smack and go snat's, you know, snap out of it.

00:12:55
Speaker 5: All right, I'm done now, I will say if I may pay them one compliment. Okay, they're forward the freshman Graves if he would like to move to Lexington this summer for heat. That's a guy he's gonna I'm not. I wrote this on the board and Peel thought it was crazy. He's gonna make He's gonna be like a Yaxel type transfer player. I'm not saying as good as Jackxel, but his phone's gonna ring a lot and he'll command close to him out as money as jacksll. I think he will be one of the hottest, hottest portal names uh this spring. Pope even said he's gonna be a lottery pick in a couple of years. So when you're watching Alan Graves, maybe you know in the back of your mind think, hey, that'd be a fun guy to have on our team.

00:13:31
Speaker 3: He's there, he's our toughest matchup, and he's the one you've gotta you gotta watch because he I think he's averaging what thirteen points a game and he's a four. It's gonna be like Diabaatee's gonna have to play on him. I can already see that he'll have six points in the first time out and we have to switch defenders on him. He's really good and he might be the one place that they have a positional advantage on us. I will take the bet, though, Shannon, on whether he's a lottery pick with Mark Pope. He didn't even start scoring record. What'd you say he does?

00:14:03
Speaker 5: He's the sixth man of the Year. He doesn't start, but he does do everything well. He's good.

00:14:07
Speaker 3: I love Mark Pope, but I'm I'll take the bet on him being a lottery pick. I'll go ahead and take the money on that. But he is very very good.

00:14:16
Speaker 4: Who's up next, Let's go to Wes.

00:14:18
Speaker 3: Wes, go ahead, West, Yeah, good morning.

00:14:22
Speaker 6: I had a question. I know there's one round band playing in San Diego. Are those players gonna have to play any jock packs like they did for the Super Bowl?

00:14:32
Speaker 3: Are they gonna have to do what?

00:14:35
Speaker 7: Pay the jock packs?

00:14:37
Speaker 3: Like? You don't do that. You don't do that for college basketball. Your your your rev share isn't based on where the game is.

00:14:47
Speaker 8: Okay, I just I just was wondering because because in the NFL.

00:14:52
Speaker 3: In the NFL, you get paid by game. That's how the NFL works. So you get your salaries like twenty million dollars, but it's actually paid week to week by game, which is why that happens.

00:15:02
Speaker 6: Okay, gotcha, that makes sense.

00:15:04
Speaker 3: And there's like a super Bowl bonus. I appreciate the call that you get for the Super Bowl, which is why you have to pay that. That's not true in college it's actually not even true in the pro sports. It was unique because you get money for winning the Super Bowl, which is why that story about the jock tax and By the way, they made a big deal about it in California, but it happens wherever the super bowls play. If there's a tax where the super Bowl's played, you pay it. It's just people made a big deal about it because the taxes are higher in California. Serve pro is the number one choice and clean up in restoration, whether it's some old fire storm or water damage. We've got to pro for that. Serf proserfpro dot com. They will make it like it never even happen. If you have a disaster in your house, that's terrible, but serf pro can make it better. Seer vp r o dot com make it like it never even happened. With serf pro. We'll take a break. Bery back. It's KSR. Welcome back, Tekey Sports Radio Text Machine seven seven two seven four five two five four one person rights, Matt, it feels like you were talking trash when you said going on a show that no one's ever listened to, or that you'd never heard of. Shannon, I hadn't heard of it. What do you want me?

00:16:15
Speaker 4: So there's a million shows I've never heard of.

00:16:19
Speaker 3: I literally did not know the show that they're going on was a show, did you, Drew?

00:16:25
Speaker 5: I found out through the graphic that I saw.

00:16:29
Speaker 3: I didn't know it was a show, So it's not talking trash. I just didn't know. But then again, like, yeah, Shannon's right, there are shows that I don't know exist. I'm sure it'll do. I'm sure that interview will do really well. One person rights, Matt, would you go on a show that has bad mouth you for years? You've made fun of Mitch and question every movie is made. If I were UK, I'd never give you an interview. Okay, that's fine, I mean that can be your first of all, It's not true that I've bad Mitch a bad mouthed mitche for years. I've said, I think he's the best here. If to go on a show, the only way you can do it is if no one on the show has ever criticized you. Then that's such a terrible media relation strategy. You want, like you should want as a leader, to convince people that disagree with you. So think about the people who like they just use politics. Barack Obama did interviews with Bill O'Reilly at the Super Bowl. Bill O'Reilly christised him every night, but he still did the interview with him. Donald Trump when he ran for president the first time, he interviews with anybody that wanted to do him, and that's in part how he won. You know, I have a lot of respect for people who will do interviews with folks that disagree with him. If you only talk to people that agree with you, that's the lamest thing in the world. You're just preaching to the choir. And it's like church preachers should go out in the community and win people over. If you're only talking in the building of your church, who are you winning over? So you know, if if if Eli Cappoluto wants to convince the UK fan base that this contract makes sense, Ryan, why wouldn't you talk to the UK fan base right? This is where they are. So and one more thing, and I'll shut up about it. Ryan. Have I ever not been fair to someone that came on an interview here.

00:18:26
Speaker 2: Even the people you're totally against, You've been very fair.

00:18:29
Speaker 3: I moderated the Kentucky Republican primary debate.

00:18:34
Speaker 4: That's true.

00:18:37
Speaker 3: I remember that I moderated. I'm Matt be I moderated Matt Bevan and Jack Conway, and Bevin won the debate with me as the.

00:18:46
Speaker 4: Moderator on this show.

00:18:48
Speaker 3: I've had Mitch McConnell on, I'm gonna have Ran Paul on my podcast, like you know, I had Marco Rubio on, I had Ted Cruz on you don't think I can be respectful to Eli Happaluto, Like, come on, it's just people not wanting to be challenged. And if you have a position you believe in. If I was some crazy person who wasn't respectful to people I disagree with, then fine, I understand. But when have I ever done that? Give me an interview where I've ever been mean to the person. Never, So I just think it's lame. But it's there, right, and that's fine. Who's next?

00:19:30
Speaker 4: Justin?

00:19:31
Speaker 3: Justin? Go ahead, justin?

00:19:33
Speaker 6: Hey guys, first time, longtime. Who are thank you? I just wanted to say I have a fair amount of confidence that Kentucky will get past that of Clara. And my question was was it the last year with the Harrison Twins maybe twenty fourteen when Kentucky I want to say, they were like an eight seed and they went to the final four.

00:20:00
Speaker 3: They were in Saint lu and they were in Saint Louis.

00:20:02
Speaker 6: That's right, that's right. They were in Saint Louis, and they you know, they definitely weren't expected to go that far. And but I remember as the tournament went on, I just was like, Wow, these guys can beat anybody. They really can. I don't really feel the same about the team this year, but I do have confidence we'll get past Santa Clara, and I think we got a pretty good draw. And with that, I.

00:20:25
Speaker 3: Totally agree with that. I totally agree with that. Yeah, I appreciate the call.

00:20:28
Speaker 9: Remember in that year, thank you.

00:20:30
Speaker 3: In that year, Drew, I was really worried about Kansas State in the first round. We didn't even go to the game because we thought they might lose. And then once they beat Kansas State, they of course went on that rock run that people will remember forever.

00:20:43
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I agree that the ceiling of this team probably isn't a Final four run. But as someone who thinks Iowa State is going to be Kentucky, I'm not like thinking it's impossible. I mean, I always stated, as some disappointing results the last several years in the NCAA tournament, it's not like there's some world beater that's just going to run the table. I don't have a lot of faith in Kentucky do it. But I'm not ruling it out by any means. They can get hot and win. You know, three four games.

00:21:05
Speaker 3: Has everybody's had twenty four hours? Have we found our most favorite or memorable Iowa State NCAA tournament?

00:21:14
Speaker 2: Forgot to look that one up last night.

00:21:16
Speaker 3: You got twenty four hours. I finally remembered one moment when Hampton beat them and they picked up that little chubby couch in the air.

00:21:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh huh against.

00:21:27
Speaker 3: I was Iowa State losing? Apparently they made the Elite eight in two thousand, so far as they've been in the last twenty five years.

00:21:35
Speaker 4: Don't remember it.

00:21:37
Speaker 3: I don't real either, Actually don't. I don't remember who was on that team either. Who's next?

00:21:41
Speaker 4: dB?

00:21:42
Speaker 3: dB? Go ahead? dB?

00:21:44
Speaker 10: Okay. I've been a fan of UK listening and watching since Claude Sullivan did the radio show Wow And And my question is, since cal has gone down to Arkansas, does he need a bodyguard down there? There's some fellow that follows his but from start to finish? Do you know what I'm talking about?

00:22:08
Speaker 3: And yeah, I'm not sure who are you talking about?

00:22:10
Speaker 10: Wait a minute, Well, he's a tall guy and slicks his hair straight back, and when the game's over, he's right on Calipiri walking him off the floor.

00:22:22
Speaker 3: I don't know who that is. Uh, it might be an assistant coach or but you think he's actually guarding him when he goes off the floor.

00:22:31
Speaker 10: Yes, he he's not an assistant coach because you don't see him during the game except setting way back.

00:22:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, he may he may have Yeah, I don't know, he may have one. I mean I could see I could see why, at least in those public settings that that would be the case. Nice to hear from you, sir. When'd you what's the first game you listened to? What year?

00:22:53
Speaker 10: Oh? Gosh, I couldn't tell you because I used to take my radio back and lay on the bed when I was a kid and listen to Claude Selvin.

00:23:01
Speaker 9: Oh yeah it was.

00:23:02
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:23:03
Speaker 10: I'm from Owensboro, by the way, and God, I've.

00:23:06
Speaker 3: Got to go to break, but I appreciate it. Call back sometime in the summer. We can chat. We'll take a break. Be right back. KSR.

00:23:15
Speaker 5: TJ. Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ. He'll make them pay now.

00:23:19
Speaker 4: More of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.

00:23:25
Speaker 3: So I got a text on the text machine that I feel like is really for the three of you all. One person writes Matt, A meteor hit Cleveland today? Did you know that? And are the guys worried? Did a meteor hit Cleveland today?

00:23:40
Speaker 2: I've not seen that on the news, but I don't know.

00:23:43
Speaker 4: Didn't I haven't heard it. It may have.

00:23:46
Speaker 2: Well, here let's do a quick I guess Middlesborough is no longer crater city.

00:23:51
Speaker 7: Uh.

00:23:53
Speaker 3: Suspected meteor A suspected meteor. Loud boom reported across northeast o High Io. Meteor could be the cause of the.

00:24:03
Speaker 4: Boom, could be, we don't know, not confirmed.

00:24:06
Speaker 3: NASA confirms meteor caused loud boom across northeast Ohigo.

00:24:10
Speaker 2: There you go, pretty good source yea.

00:24:14
Speaker 5: Trust.

00:24:15
Speaker 3: So apparently a meteor hit just outside of Cleveland that called calls shakes all through northeast Ohio and as far east as Pennsylvania. Oh When they have a picture.

00:24:28
Speaker 4: Of it, nothing nothing, nothing damaged.

00:24:32
Speaker 3: Well, I think it hit ground that was like empty.

00:24:35
Speaker 4: See that's what we're not worried about it. Like Earth is so big you could hit and then it doesn't even touch anything. So what are we worried about? Unless it's like, you.

00:24:43
Speaker 3: Know, so what percentage? Okay, so what percentage of the world is ocean? It's a huge It's like, what is it? Three fours? Yeah, something like that? Do we know, Drew? That feels like something you would know, is it?

00:24:54
Speaker 5: There's a there's a there's a seventy something, there's a number.

00:24:59
Speaker 3: So let's just say it's three fourths. So that means you got a three and four chance of Shannon of it hitting one nothing. Now, it could cause like a tsunami, but let's just act like that's not happening. Okay. Then how much of the world is ground that is uninhabited? It's a lot, right like it like the poles for the most part, you know, I mean even in America, think about all when we drive to California, all the blank space everywhere. So is there any like, what percentage of the ground of the earth that is not water has no people in it? It's probably a lot. I have no I'd just be guessing. So you're saying you're not worried because even if it comes, maybe what a one in ten chance, anybody lives there.

00:25:49
Speaker 4: Let's see five quick Google search has approximately fifty to fifty seven percent of Earth's land service is considered uninhabited.

00:25:57
Speaker 3: Okay, so seventy five percent of is water and then of the twenty five percent that's not half is uninhabited. So it's basically twelve point five percent of America has has people on it. So it's a one in eight chance that if a meteor comes it would hit where people are. And so you're saying, Shannon, that's not enough for you to worry it.

00:26:22
Speaker 4: Yeah, now, if that hit like New York City, that would be disastrous.

00:26:25
Speaker 3: Right, awful are movies about that.

00:26:27
Speaker 4: Right, But the odds are still in our favor that if a media is gonna hit Earth, it's gonna do what it did today in Cleveland and going.

00:26:34
Speaker 3: But does it worry you at all that it hit Ohio Drew and it didn't seem like anybody tried to stop it.

00:26:42
Speaker 5: I would have liked I would have liked a warning, maybe a text alert, hey look up, anything like that. I wouldn't live in fear with it because I just feel like if I got if I'm the guy that got hit by the meteor. Man it was just my time to go.

00:26:56
Speaker 4: I've never seen it coming anywhere.

00:26:58
Speaker 5: How much I can say about that, you wouldn't know.

00:27:00
Speaker 3: What hit you. Yeah, it's true. I mean, what are you gonna do? There's nothing you can do. Oh no, But do we have a way of shooting them down? I would have thought. I would have thought, honestly, if they had a media or headed towards Cleveland, they would have shot it down.

00:27:15
Speaker 5: But I guess you shoot it down, it breaks up into pieces and then you might be covering more land. So you might just be like, Cleveland, sorry about you. We can't sorry about your luck, Cleveland. Your your teams aren't good anyway.

00:27:25
Speaker 4: So here it comes.

00:27:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, they could probably path, make a path of the trajectory of it and see what's gonna land over here in the mountains. It's okay. We don't want to bust this one up and maybe make more damage. I just hope it made a big crater and then they could build another city right in the middle of that.

00:27:38
Speaker 3: We're not gonna be able to see. Middlesborough is the only place with the crater. We are crater city. We're not giving that up to a small town outside of Cleveland. But well, I hope every.

00:27:48
Speaker 4: You stick your meteor game up, though you're being outdone by Cleveland.

00:27:51
Speaker 3: Right now, well uninhabited part of Cleveland. Who's next, Matt, Matt, go ahead, Matt.

00:28:02
Speaker 7: Hey, guys, good morning or good afternoon. Last week you talked about how you meander through the topics. Oh, it's a sports show about everything. Yes, so maybe maybe you guys are like the Seinfeld from the perspective of George Well, I don't know.

00:28:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it is. I had a meeting Monday with one of the top executives ESPN, and he said, how would you describe what you do in Lexington? And I said, it's I said, it's like a show for Kentucky fans, but about whatever I think Kentucky fans would be interested in about the world. And he said, so it's kind of about nothing, and I said, yes, that's kind of true. So I agree with that.

00:28:54
Speaker 7: So I think, but from the perspective of George Costanza, because of the bull rye and the new hand modeling stuff you're doing.

00:29:03
Speaker 3: That's true. I do have quite a hand model. I think that comes out apparently that comes out at noon. So but I appreciate it. Who's Next, Adam. Yeah, if we were all the characters from Seinfeld, who would be who?

00:29:15
Speaker 2: I'm George Costanza. I'll go ahead and take that one. There's no doubt you're Jerry Drew, is uh the Lane, Shannon's Lane, and Drew's Kramer.

00:29:32
Speaker 3: Oh, you're giving Shannon away.

00:29:36
Speaker 5: I'll be Alane.

00:29:37
Speaker 3: I think Drew's Moore a lane. I think Shannon's more Kramer. And then Billy's Newman.

00:29:43
Speaker 2: Billy's Newman, definitely Newman.

00:29:48
Speaker 3: Who's next, Adam, Adam, go ahead.

00:29:51
Speaker 9: Adam, Hey, what's up? Goes about to come at you with the los facts first of the meteor set or they come through the atmosphere all the time. That's what causes the sonic boom. I mean, as far as we know, a meter didn't actually hit the ground. It burns up and causes the sonic boom.

00:30:09
Speaker 3: Oh so they're not. So it didn't hit the ground.

00:30:13
Speaker 9: I mean from everything I've seen, No, I mean, and that happens all the time. When you see a shooting star or whatnot, that's a media coming through that's burning up in the atmosphere. You know, sometimes if it's a larger one, it does cause a sonic boom. But yeah, as far as you know Santa Clair and Kentucky, it's I've got two things, one that is in favor and one that that is not Kentucky. There's only sixteen teams in front of them that are in top forty of both offense and defense. So I mean that would suggest that we should be able to make a run to the Sweet sixteen. But as far as you know, us shooting the same three point percentage of them that you've been saying, you know, if we go four for ten that's forty percent and they go ten for thirty thirty percent, they've still had eighteen more points than us at the three point line. So that's that's a fair point, is not always.

00:31:06
Speaker 3: I know that that's a completely fair point. What is the total? Do you know what the comparison is? Total number of threes for both teams made this year? I would assume they probably have more, but I.

00:31:17
Speaker 9: Don't know what Kentucky says. But you know, I think I've heard Tom Leech say that they've hit almost three hundred three pointers this year, which I know Kentucky is nowhere near that.

00:31:26
Speaker 3: So okay, no, that's volume matters. You are exactly right, I think that is a completely Uh, that is a completely fair point. And I can't find the total numbers, but that No, that's that, that's completely legitimate. Appreciate the call. No, that that completely fair point. That's that's worth worth noting.

00:31:50
Speaker 4: Who's up next, Let's go to Clay.

00:31:52
Speaker 3: Clay, go ahead, Clay.

00:31:55
Speaker 11: Hey man, I'm just tired of all all the Kentucky fans and all this talk about how we're scared of this team or playing I mean, this is ridiculous. Who did we want to get paired of the Kentucky fans? We want to get paired up with the blind and deaf team.

00:32:10
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know who they wanted. I mean, our other options, we couldn't play Missouri in Texas A and M because they're ten seeds and we're in the same conference. So our only other option if you look at the ten Seeds, was Central Florida. And I can tell you I would be legitimately scared of Central Florida. They are athletically better than us. So I'm with you. If you look at the options of who we had to play, this was the best one.

00:32:35
Speaker 7: Listen.

00:32:35
Speaker 11: I just it's just ridiculous. I mean, they think. I mean, we're a seven seed, what do we expect to get?

00:32:40
Speaker 3: You know what?

00:32:41
Speaker 11: You know what Stein said, if you're scared, you go to church, so you know, bring them on and bring on. I'm not scared of a cyclone either. I'm not scared of them either.

00:32:50
Speaker 9: Bring them on.

00:32:50
Speaker 11: I will state we want them.

00:32:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, I appreciate the call the other option. I mean there was only one other option, Ryan. We could play Central Florida then you Yukon or Santa Clara then Iowa State. So my question for you is, would you rather play Santa Clair and Iowa State or Central Florida in Yukon.

00:33:10
Speaker 2: Before the tournament you'd ask me to pick one of those ten seeds, I'm picking Santa Clara. If you have me to pick one of the two seeds, I'm picking Iowa State. I mean, it could have gonna have me went location. I'm picking Saint Louis.

00:33:20
Speaker 3: It's true we also probably got the best location, Drew. I know you you were a little more more bearish on this game with Iowa State. Would you rather have gotten Central Florida and Yukon?

00:33:31
Speaker 5: I have Yukon in my title game, So no, so no, So I bracket I have them winning that region.

00:33:38
Speaker 3: You know, we don't get the we don't get the you know the value of getting to pick our opponent because we weren't good enough this year, right, So of our of the of our possibilities. This was my if you when I was thinking about the bracket and I was looking at it, I thought, our best option is Santa Clara or Saint Mary's And the two seed I would want to play the most is Iowa State or Purdue. Well we didn't get Purdue, but we did get Santa Clair and we did get i With State, So I'm I'm generally happy with it. Stop overpaying for sunglasses if you're tired of buying expensive sunglasses only to lose or break them. Shady Rays, independent American owned company, start right here in Kentucky, premium polarized shades for every activity, from tangle free aviators that won't get stuck in your hair to lost and broken replacement that's the best in the industry. Go to Shady Rays or Shady Rays dot com. What'd you just send me? Drew about the media or there to videos? Who I want to see the video?

00:34:39
Speaker 5: And it goes up in flames like our caller who oddly brought facts of the show. Cal him down, Sir, it kind of looks like how he described. He goes into the atmosphere and that kind of turns into flames and looks like it might not even make it to the surface.

00:34:52
Speaker 4: Ain't nothing to worry about it.

00:34:53
Speaker 5: Sorry, this is radio and I can't callers with facts.

00:34:58
Speaker 3: What is that about all?

00:35:00
Speaker 4: The show can't have more bocks than the hosts.

00:35:02
Speaker 3: That is a very cool video, by the way of watching it burn up. It's on National Weather Service Pittsburgh. So we'll take a break. Be right back, KOSR. This actually specifically applies right Cleveland, did rock today?

00:35:18
Speaker 7: Did so?

00:35:19
Speaker 3: A meteor that hits the ground becomes a meteorite? Did you know that?

00:35:27
Speaker 2: Didn't know that?

00:35:28
Speaker 10: Dr?

00:35:28
Speaker 3: Did you know that?

00:35:29
Speaker 5: I did not know.

00:35:30
Speaker 3: We learned something according Now this may or may not be correct. So these are these are text machine facts, Ryan, and those might be correct or they might not. Right when person rights a meteor hit a house in Louisville in the nineteen seventies, do we believe that's true?

00:35:49
Speaker 2: We could probably do a little Google work and that.

00:35:51
Speaker 4: I feel like there would be like a way to track that if that were true.

00:35:55
Speaker 3: A pretty big story. If it's true, maybe somebody, somebody in Louisville. We've got people listening who lived in Louisvie in the seventies. I feel like they would know. I found what.

00:36:04
Speaker 5: Nineteen seventy seven from wa from whas In nineteen seventy seven, a three pound meteorite hit Louisville. I'm looking for a specific spot, not seeing one, but there is a news story confirming it happened.

00:36:18
Speaker 3: Huh, well, that would be interesting. I would guess if it did, it would be out on Dixie Highway.

00:36:27
Speaker 4: That's from Dixie Highway or Preston.

00:36:30
Speaker 3: I could see it being either one of those places. Yeah, one person rights Matt. In uh recent human history, there's only one reported case of a meteor hitting a human being. Well, that guy's unlucky, are you talking? Yeah? Really?

00:36:44
Speaker 4: I mean, my gosh, you're time to go.

00:36:48
Speaker 3: That is one of those that you just say, you know what, it was my time.

00:36:52
Speaker 4: Remember that show A Thousand Ways to Die? I bet media righte to the head wasn't one of them.

00:36:58
Speaker 3: I feel bad for that person. I don't even know who it was.

00:37:01
Speaker 5: I found a story on it. Okay, what is it. I'm liking that this is even this is bad. Her name's Anne. But she was in her house. It came through the roof. She wasn't even out exposed to the man.

00:37:12
Speaker 3: Where was this?

00:37:14
Speaker 5: I'm reading the Wikipedia. It has its own Wikipedia page. Oh wait, she never mind? She lived, because there's a photo of her pointing at the hole in the roof where it came through. Yes, where a nice little outfit, got some nice wallpaper, And she's pointing up at the hole in the roof.

00:37:30
Speaker 3: So where is it? Where was it?

00:37:32
Speaker 5: That was in Alabama?

00:37:34
Speaker 3: So Anne's just sitting in Alabama watching the Ricky Lake Show and a meteor comes through the roof.

00:37:42
Speaker 5: There was in nineteen fifty four, so I doubt she was watching Ricky Lake.

00:37:46
Speaker 3: But it's a she she just took it.

00:37:49
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a picture of her holding it too.

00:37:51
Speaker 3: She's not.

00:37:54
Speaker 5: She has her own Wikipedia page and Elizabeth Fowler Hodges.

00:37:57
Speaker 4: I need to know how she actually died. It was it like the common call that took her down, that a meteorite couldn't.

00:38:01
Speaker 5: Get her kidney failure. It's also on her page eighteen years later.

00:38:06
Speaker 3: She's holding the media.

00:38:09
Speaker 5: Got a nice lit outfit on at home. Looks like some might like to dress up in her house. Wow, it bounced off a radio and hit her in the thigh. I'm reading all this on the fly. What a day at two pm local time? How big is she was napping on her couch and at two pm a meteorite hit her radio and then her thigh.

00:38:29
Speaker 2: How big is it?

00:38:30
Speaker 4: Like baseball size or life comes at you fast?

00:38:34
Speaker 3: How big?

00:38:36
Speaker 5: It's split into three fragments. One of them hit her through her roof. So there you go. It can happen even if you're just home napping on your couch.

00:38:45
Speaker 2: But you think if it comes through the atmosphere and it catches on fire.

00:38:49
Speaker 5: I'm gonna tweet the picture of Anne holding her meteor because she looks very unhappy that it put a hole in her from Alabama.

00:38:57
Speaker 3: Wow, i'd have had her on the radio yet. I bet fine bomb hatter hit my house.

00:39:07
Speaker 5: Alright, I just tweeted the photo.

00:39:08
Speaker 2: Go check out.

00:39:11
Speaker 3: Who's next?

00:39:12
Speaker 4: Little Skyler?

00:39:13
Speaker 3: Skyler? Go ahead, Skyler.

00:39:16
Speaker 8: Hey guys, I got a couple of comments, but one I've never questioned the way I pronounced meteor listening to Matt say Media, how do you say it?

00:39:26
Speaker 3: Matt it's what is it? Is it not meteor?

00:39:33
Speaker 8: I mean, I mean maybe a more Kentucky way to say it is meteor, but I don't know what.

00:39:40
Speaker 3: Meteorite. I put some emphasis on the ore, but I got you.

00:39:46
Speaker 8: You put yeah, you're good. I appreciate I My my comment about why the fan base is scared is because speed of the leader, speed of the team. I feel like I watched a Rick Patino clip from Saint John's last year where he is saying, where is your fight? Where's your toughness? And he has set a culture of not being scared of anybody, And unfortunately Mark Pope has set a culture of being a little He's hiding, I mean hiding right now. And I think the fan base needs a little toughness and needs a little grit. So stay safe from the meteors and I'll talk to you.

00:40:20
Speaker 3: So now I'm gonna be thinking about it. He's saying, I say it Ryan like TV and Tennessee and how yes, media? Yeah?

00:40:28
Speaker 2: Well do you say media right? You've been saying that the way I think he's supposed to say it.

00:40:33
Speaker 3: You all say meteor yeah, And.

00:40:36
Speaker 5: I say medior Ann's radio is in the American Museum of Natural History. This is I just keep learning more details about any.

00:40:43
Speaker 3: Really her radio made the American Museum of Natural History.

00:40:47
Speaker 5: Yeah, she suffered from social anxiety after it happened.

00:40:50
Speaker 3: I would understand why.

00:40:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, no kidding, you just said it.

00:40:54
Speaker 3: I would have social anxiety too. Skim cancer isn't rare. It's the most common cancer in the US. In five Americans face it, and here in Kentucky the odds are even higher.
