Speaker 1: Are you excited?

00:01:24
Speaker 4: I'm very excited.

00:01:25
Speaker 1: I'm I could not be more excited. By the way. That was not the reaction. You've got your purple on Kentucky's I'm glad that you can, but you act like that's what the people here are excited about. We're excited about Kentucky. So today part of what I want to do is here, those of you who call eight five nine, eight, twenty two eighty seven, what are you? Are you excited about the season? How do you expect it to go? Et cetera. But I have these two tickets that are on the eighth row behind the bit that's not from TJ. Smith. What a great way to start the season. So I created drew my game for how to do it before. We've done these before. It's been a while. Usually Ryan was the person I may do this, Okay, not today. Today we have a newer person. We have Mario. We're looking good in the sweater. By the way, Mario, you're way too fashionable to be on this show. That is a UK sweater. That's a nice sweater. Let me take a picture.

00:02:24
Speaker 4: It has the big wildcat on at the back.

00:02:26
Speaker 1: For a second. Stand up for a second. I'm gonna do what you would do and do the fashion thing. Now you gotta look at the camera. Turn around, look at the camera. There you go. Bam. Now take the other side. There you go. Uh, there you go. Okay. So that's what you get that, mate, No, I got it from vintage therapy. Vintage therapy, all right. But so here's what we're gonna do today. You are gonna go pull the microphone up to your mouth. There you go, There you go. You're gonna go around town somewhere, okay, and you're going to stand and wait for someone to come get the tickets from me. All right. You can pick anywhere in town, all right, and you're gonna drive around for the first hour. See what feels right, Stop, then call into the show and say where you are. Whoever's the first person to come there, you film them and give them the ticket that work. Does that sound exciting?

00:03:23
Speaker 4: Very exciting?

00:03:24
Speaker 1: Now you need to think for a second about where you may go. Now, Billy, I wanted to put him on the microphone drew to talk about it. Billy said to me, he has to sit on this microphone over here and not this one. And I said why, and he goes, this is a female only microphone that was for the ladies. It's got pink tape around it. It has pink tape around it. Now, I did not know that microphones had.

00:03:50
Speaker 3: Gender I didn't either.

00:03:52
Speaker 1: I did not know that microphones were gender specific. Did you know that?

00:03:58
Speaker 4: Only because one time I got yelled at sitting there? But before that, No, this is brand new. I've been in radio now fifteen years.

00:04:06
Speaker 1: Didn't know. Did you know?

00:04:07
Speaker 3: Never heard this before?

00:04:08
Speaker 1: You've been you've done radio longer than me.

00:04:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, never heard, never heard it.

00:04:12
Speaker 1: Now, Billy, as your your boss, I would like for you to get onto the female microphone and talk so we can see what a female microphone is like.

00:04:23
Speaker 5: Well, this is my normal voice, and if it is working correctly, it's not picking up my voice very well.

00:04:30
Speaker 3: If at all.

00:04:31
Speaker 1: It's not picking up your voice very well at all. What does that mean? Get up there next to it.

00:04:37
Speaker 3: Check one?

00:04:37
Speaker 1: Two?

00:04:38
Speaker 3: Here I am talking to it.

00:04:40
Speaker 5: And normally, if we have a male sit at this microphone, it's much much harder to hear them than a female.

00:04:45
Speaker 6: How did that?

00:04:46
Speaker 1: How does it know?

00:04:47
Speaker 4: I'm not the engineer, but they tell me that.

00:04:49
Speaker 5: I guess maybe because of the higher frequency of a female's voice.

00:04:53
Speaker 1: It's you're saying that, so I don't know. Only the people at home can hear this? People at home? When Billy talks right here, go ahead, can you hear him?

00:05:02
Speaker 4: Hello, Brownie James is a fraud?

00:05:04
Speaker 1: Send him to the g le Okay, you are in a mood today. I'm gonna need you to bring it down a notch. So is it Ryan? Is he suggesting? People at home? It's like a dog whistle. He's not able to hear.

00:05:17
Speaker 3: It because to us he sounds exactly the same e in our headsets, I think he sounds the same.

00:05:21
Speaker 1: He does sound the same. Yes, okay, they don't do that. I'm gonna get you off the microphone. But so so you know, Billy came in here angry and he was just like he's just lashing out at people this morning. I need you to just calm down.

00:05:33
Speaker 4: You might need a welders walk around downtown. I think, I tell you what, just a lap.

00:05:38
Speaker 1: Just maybe just take a walk, billy, take a deep breath and come back. So this microphone is the female microphone. Yes, okay, get.

00:05:47
Speaker 6: Out of here.

00:05:48
Speaker 3: He's had a rough day at the equipment.

00:05:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, fresh air for billion.

00:05:51
Speaker 1: Okay, So all right, do you know where you're gonna go? Yes? I have.

00:05:55
Speaker 3: I have a few ideas.

00:05:55
Speaker 1: All right, so you go around, you figure it out. The goal is to get a place maybe with some people around it, or to just go somewhere. But don't just go like don't be like Ryan. Ryan would just go to like Rupper. I want you to go somewhere unique and somewhere different. Okay, absolutely, all right. You you text me when you get where you want to be, probably maybe the first beginning of the second hour, and then we'll get the.

00:06:21
Speaker 4: Is let's do it, all right, go good luck where your seat belt?

00:06:24
Speaker 3: I remember the first time you sent me, and you remember I went the very first time.

00:06:27
Speaker 1: I think you went somewhere like ruperin I.

00:06:29
Speaker 3: Went to Victoria's Secrets hit the Mall.

00:06:31
Speaker 4: I don't remember that.

00:06:32
Speaker 1: I don't remember that.

00:06:34
Speaker 4: I would have bet anything Georgetown Wall.

00:06:36
Speaker 1: I went to Victoria's Secret at the mall.

00:06:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, I stood outside Victoria's Secrets at the mall. I was the first time we did something like this.

00:06:41
Speaker 4: I might regret asking this, But what was what went through the noggin? Well, you picked that place.

00:06:45
Speaker 3: We were at the studio there on Nicholas Field Road, close to the mall nearby. Yes, so I was trying to think somewhere where every people walking around, and you know, Victoria's Secrets seems to be an attractive place for me to go.

00:06:54
Speaker 1: So it doesn't don't do that that. No person wants a guy just looking outside of tory A's Secret looking in. Don't do that. I've seen guys at the mall doing that before. Don't do that. Just it's just a piece of advice. You're getting to the age that don't do that. I think that wouldn't be good. What was wrong with Billy?

00:07:12
Speaker 3: He's had a rough morning.

00:07:13
Speaker 1: I mean, I understand there were technicality have difficulties during the pre show, but he was in here just ranting about people like just he was just going off about various human being? What was that? What was up there?

00:07:27
Speaker 4: Yeah, you mentioned the topic and he just kind of snapped a little bit games thoughts about it. Very unexpected, especially this early in the morning. You know, we're just greeting each other, our salutations. You see Billy today, Just tell him sending retweets.

00:07:39
Speaker 3: He's got a long day, a long day.

00:07:41
Speaker 1: We got pregame show, we got the game, we got the postgame show. Can you imagine how grumpy he's gonna be the night at when we talk about the Wesleyan game.

00:07:51
Speaker 4: I mean, he's got to deal with Tom Leach a little bit more to Tom Tom's first game of the Mark Pope era.

00:07:59
Speaker 1: Givens out. They're doing Jack Givens things match I Fandway Cow. That would be different if I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. So I want you to call in uh and let me know what you think about the basketball team this year, specifically, are you excited? I get the feeling tonight. It's gonna be a fun night Ryan at Rupperina. I think there's gonna be kind of a celebration that comes out much more excitement than you would normally have in an exhibition on.

00:08:26
Speaker 3: People are just excited. They want to be there for Mark Pope's first game. I mean, you know, I was trying to get tickets for the game tonight. It was kind of hard if people don't want to give them up. They want to be there and see the debut of Mark Pope, what he's going to bring to the table.

00:08:37
Speaker 1: This is the this is the hardest preseason ticket I've seen in a long time. I mean, TJ's not feeling well, and I hope he feels better. That's why, uh he's given these away. But I had a couple of friends sort of do the you know, heymen, amen, I know we haven't talked since twenty twenty two, got a ticket for I love the first of all. I love those texts. Oh yeah, all right. So somebody will go hey Matt, and it's like a number that I forgot. I knew. They're like, hey you been. You know it's eight fifteen in the morning. Now, you know, I think, good? How you been? Oh I'm good. By the way, would you happen to have like tickets for the game tonight? And I just want to go. I look and like the last time I talked to you, you asked me for tickets then too, Do you get that?

00:09:28
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, hey, hey Drew uh covid was rough. Haven't talked to you a little while, but if we play we play football tomorrow and you know, family's in and just thought i'd catch up with you even though you're doing a pregame show.

00:09:40
Speaker 1: If you have tickets, yeah, wait, just out of cure lead it to the UK Arkansas game February first, would you know?

00:09:47
Speaker 3: A guy?

00:09:47
Speaker 1: Also?

00:09:48
Speaker 4: I love you know, we had to do cool things, but like, we don't get tickets. I don't get tickets for me. You all don't get tickets for you. Occasionally a listener sends them, but UK doesn't just come up to us and say, hey, KYSR, would you all like plenty of seats?

00:10:00
Speaker 1: I have zero seats. Last year I got given a lot of seats, but that was more of a testament to the where the program was than anything else. But for this one, you know, I thought about going myself. I was like, you know what, I may because you know, I don't go to a lot of home games anymore. They've made it to work for the media. It's not as easy to like. It's just not as fun as it used to be. A quick cork, right, Frank. So now I really only want to go if I sit in the crowd, And I thought to myself, maybe I'll go. I'd like to be in the atmosphere. And besides TJ's tickets, which I'm given away, I haven't seen any it is.

00:10:31
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be cool tonight because I think we've talked about so much. We feel like we've got our program back and we want to be we're a part of it again. We want to be there to witness.

00:10:40
Speaker 1: Are you going, oh yeah, yeah, so you are going, yeah, Well, how did you get tickets?

00:10:43
Speaker 3: Worldwide? Todd Harris?

00:10:46
Speaker 4: Remember if we learned it yesterday wesley and wouldn't help them.

00:10:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh that's right, that's right. So you're going in the Wesleyans.

00:10:51
Speaker 3: That's Wesleyan's fans. I mean casar fan have sent me some tickets. I got enough for Joe Side and he's a girlfriend. I got enough for younger girls, So.

00:10:57
Speaker 1: What about me?

00:10:59
Speaker 3: I got two extra if you want go, seriously.

00:11:01
Speaker 4: Decent seats, I think so if they're Todd's I know where they are.

00:11:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, I might go.

00:11:07
Speaker 3: I want to sit in Todds.

00:11:07
Speaker 1: You can so sorry, I don't want to take yours. I wouldn't want to get in the way of uh, I've got two more. All right, Well, let me know.

00:11:15
Speaker 4: I've not been seating into the crowd. If you want to sit with us, we're like up top corner.

00:11:19
Speaker 1: Now nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. What do you expect to see tonight? I mean they didn't look great during the Blue White. They played exciting, didn't make a lot of shots. You think they play well this evening? I do.

00:11:32
Speaker 4: I'm mostly just ready to answer a lot of questions we've been speculating about just being a whole new everything. I mean, we don't even know the starting five. We have a pretty good idea.

00:11:39
Speaker 1: But do we think it's if you got to make a.

00:11:43
Speaker 4: Guess, Lamm Butler, Andrew Carr, Jackson Robinson, and Mary Williams, in my brain are locked in four locks. You can maybe be surprised by that. You know, you hear a lot of good things about Brandon Garrison. I don't know how they're gonna split time, but I think Mari Williams is gonna play a lot in that spot. It's the two that I don't know.

00:12:01
Speaker 1: Oway it's gonna be away or break right. I don't think Chaandler's start.

00:12:07
Speaker 4: I wonder if Kurk Cruis will play tonight. He missed the Blue White last Friday with a tweet tam Stream.

00:12:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, he might not play.

00:12:14
Speaker 4: I see him more as backing up Butler. So I have four and then that shooting guard spot.

00:12:18
Speaker 1: I guess Kobe Briva, I really, but it could be either one of them. I think that's one of those situations where either either guy wouldn't be a shock if he ends up being the one that starts. I think it's gonna be interesting for a lot of our fans. This first time you, I mean this first time you've ever seen Yeah, let's weird. I mean most of you have never seen these guys play outside the three point contest or something like that. Ever, because you didn't get to see the Blue White game, right, probably didn't watch him in college. So this is going to be tonight, Ryan A, Hello, here's who these people are.

00:12:51
Speaker 3: You know, we didn't get in the weeds too much after the Blue White game, but I was impressed. I didn't think we were gonna have much an inside game at all. Mario Williams is a big dude, and he can bully people around in there. And Ansley Amandor is a better player than I thought. I mean, he missed a lot of shots, but he's pretty active.

00:13:05
Speaker 1: I want to watch people see a Mary Williams shoot a jump shot.

00:13:09
Speaker 3: You're gonna think he's purposely shooting with the wrong hand.

00:13:12
Speaker 1: You are like, it's it's the ugliest jump shot in UK history. Let's who has that record. The early Jamel Martinez jumpers, the.

00:13:23
Speaker 3: Chuck Hayes free throw.

00:13:24
Speaker 1: Chuck's free throws were but that happened more in the NBA.

00:13:28
Speaker 3: Wayne Turner had a bad.

00:13:29
Speaker 1: Wayne Turner had an ugly shot.

00:13:31
Speaker 4: Mariy's free throws. I think he only took two or three in that blue white, but they barely get over the rim. I mean, there's just no loft on them, Maris.

00:13:38
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna warn here body. Mary Williams jump shot is an adventure. It's it is like the old choose your own adventurous. When you're a kid, you don't know what's gonna happen. Mike go right in.

00:13:48
Speaker 4: But he is an incredible passer for his size. He made two no look passes to cutting players and just that brief scrimmage.

00:13:55
Speaker 1: We saw.

00:13:56
Speaker 4: I think there's a chance he could be like second or third in assist as a big man. Whilso so having the defensive presence in the SEC, he can just really share the ball.

00:14:03
Speaker 1: A fib nine two eighth twenty two eighty seven. One person said, Matt, Billy sounded weird as ever, there was no difference. We will, we will take your calls. Get ready. At some point, Mario is gonna be somewhere in town. Hopefully Billy calms down and stops trying to stab people, and we will. We will preview the game of more. This is Kentucky Sports Radio quarterback. It is Kentucky Sports Radio A fib nine two eight oh, twenty two eighty seven. Matt Jones, Ryan Lemon and Drew Franklin dealing with a technical issue Wednesday. A lot of things going on. So the game tonight is on the computer. It is on SEC and ESPN Plus. Now, Drew, you're the expert on this, because there's gonna be a lot of people who always who don't know this. We haven't had our football game yet that was on SEC plus. So tell people how do you watch it?

00:14:57
Speaker 4: Uh, Well, on the computer, is one of option. If you have to be you have to have a SEC network on your TV, but the game won't be on the TV. As long as you have subscription SEC network, you can normally watch it. Then you can find the game. So that is streaming app or on your computer.

00:15:13
Speaker 1: If you if you are someone who wherever however you watch TV, you have the SEC network, then you have access to this game. You just have to get on the computer to watch it.

00:15:27
Speaker 4: They're just not sending it to your television.

00:15:29
Speaker 1: They're not gonna like call you up and say it's on channel five. You have to find your way to a computer to make it happen. Now that you gotta have a log in, and you have to know Tom Hart's middle name, and there's like all these other things you have to do, but you do, in theory have access if you have the SEC network.

00:15:48
Speaker 4: So if you go to I think it's watch ESPN dot com, it'll ask you like, are you Spectrum, are you YouTube TV? Are you whatever? And whenever you log in to pay your bill put that in. You'll find the game.

00:15:59
Speaker 1: And if you're like me and you never remember what your password is, that's where you encounter a problem. We will also have the game at the bar tonight. Yes, and it'll be easy because you don't have to log in. You can just come in and we will be serving dollar wings and you can watch the watch the game. How good is Kentucky Wesleyan?

00:16:18
Speaker 3: Uh? They've got some new a lot of new players, a lot of transfers, I think. So I'm not really for sure.

00:16:23
Speaker 1: So you have no idea, no idea.

00:16:24
Speaker 3: So he did they got what they got? One guy? I think that's really really good.

00:16:27
Speaker 1: What does that mean?

00:16:28
Speaker 3: Like?

00:16:28
Speaker 1: How good?

00:16:29
Speaker 3: I think he's like the Division one transfer guy. That's pretty good.

00:16:32
Speaker 1: Okay, so one guy that's good. Yeah, So you're saying we should win, should win, Yes by an easy amount, should win.

00:16:38
Speaker 3: But I you know, like I pointed out, they beat Louisville last year, bet this time, so there's not just.

00:16:42
Speaker 1: Level one six games this last year.

00:16:44
Speaker 3: We should win more than six.

00:16:46
Speaker 1: I think. I think if they beat us, that's gonna be a worse situation.

00:16:50
Speaker 4: I don't want to contradict a scouting report, but most of their team is back. Six of the top eight scorers are back.

00:17:00
Speaker 1: So living, how did you come up with? They had a lot of transfer to my Wesleyan guy.

00:17:04
Speaker 3: Yes, they said, Man, they got a lot of new guys. They got one guy that's really really good at the division, one guy.

00:17:08
Speaker 4: And you're saying they have six of their time back. They did lose their leading score Okay, past him. I think the next five leading scorers, leading rebounder, most of the starters that beat Louisville, they're all back.

00:17:20
Speaker 3: We go.

00:17:20
Speaker 1: That's a good cutting report as opposed to my friend.

00:17:23
Speaker 3: Obviously know what he was talking about this morning.

00:17:26
Speaker 4: I asked him for any wesley In fun facts and he had they beat Louisville last year.

00:17:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, So Ryan is on the phone here, a different Ryan, hopefully one that knows more about the team than you, who is from Kentucky Wesleyan. Ryan, how are you?

00:17:42
Speaker 6: I'm doing well, man?

00:17:43
Speaker 1: How are you Ryan? What it says you're from Kentucky wesley And what does that mean?

00:17:49
Speaker 7: Well, I'm a k doble lum. I'm thirty four years old now, So okay, so.

00:17:53
Speaker 1: You don't really know the time the team either.

00:17:57
Speaker 8: No.

00:17:57
Speaker 7: Frankly, my skyting report was going to be more like Ryan.

00:17:59
Speaker 1: So okay. So the key is, don't ask people who went to Kentucky wesley What do you got?

00:18:06
Speaker 7: So I have a game etiquette question for both you and Ryan. So my wife and I are both alum from KTUB and we're taking my son with us tonight and going to watch the game. But I'm a UK fan. My son's a big UK fan as well, So we're also sitting in the kdeb section. How do we go about cheering for Wesleyan and the Wildcap.

00:18:26
Speaker 1: I think if you're in the Kentucky Wesleyan section, I appreciate the calling. You're expected to cheer for Kentucky Wesleyan, and I think also I don't think the people in the Wesleyan section feel like Kentucky that Wesleyan's gonna win, So I feel like you can cheer for Kentucky as well. Now, if the game is close at the end and you're pulling for Kentucky, I think that Drew would make them mad.

00:18:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, we've had this a lot, because you know, we've played a lot of the smaller Kentucky schools lately. You wore the TRANSI gear. It's a friendly you know, people allow you to cheer for your team. We're expecting it to be a pretty big blowout. We like having our names from around the Commonwealth come in wearing their other colors.

00:19:02
Speaker 1: Yes, but I think if you're in the Wesleyan section, Ryan, it's perfectly reasonable that you would cheer for wesley.

00:19:09
Speaker 3: I will cheer for both teams tonight, but yeah, it gets tight. You gotta be careful what you're doing. You know, if Wesleyan as as a lead late in the game, I can't be up standing up going crazy that they're ahead of Kentucky.

00:19:19
Speaker 1: Now what you can't do I can tell you, is you better not if Wesleyan like is winning and could win like be celebrt.

00:19:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta be careful, right.

00:19:29
Speaker 1: I don't think fans would do that now. I also think we have bigger problems than Ryan if that happens. But I don't expect that to happen. I mean I expect to see today a fun team that wins by twenty five to thirty. What do you think?

00:19:46
Speaker 4: Yeah, the last time two times we played wesley and one was with Tubby, but one was just a couple of years ago. Cal both games, I think we're twenty four point deficits and know these are different teams. That just kind of shows how it's been traditionally. I think I said yesterday thirty two was my spread. I'll leave it to that. I mean, we're guessing here. As long as Kentucky shoots the ball, well, I don't think this is going to be very close.

00:20:03
Speaker 1: I think what's interesting about the way this team is gonna play is that they could shoot themselves in and out of games, meaning like if they're not shooting, well, this could be Clubs for a while. There's not a give the ball to Anthony Davis and you're guaranteed to get points mode that this team I think can go in.

00:20:18
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, if they really try to shoot thirty five threes a game, there's gonna be a game where they hit maybe twenty out of thirty five. But there may also be a game that they hit five out of thirty five. You know, you just want to have one of those nights.

00:20:28
Speaker 1: Now. Billy mentioned lebron and Bronny, So they played.

00:20:32
Speaker 3: They did play.

00:20:33
Speaker 1: They checked in together, yes, and Bronny played a minute.

00:20:37
Speaker 3: He didn't blame a long. They got the photo op.

00:20:39
Speaker 1: Though they got the photo op, the Griffies were there. Yeah, that was kind of nice. They are now the only two players to play on the same team, the Griffies and father son and the the you know the James is What did you think about him playing?

00:20:57
Speaker 4: One minute I was watching live.

00:21:01
Speaker 1: They won the game, so whatever, since it was like a gimmick, didn't really end up mattering because they won the game.

00:21:07
Speaker 4: I never was really passionate in my opinion either way, whatever, it doesn't matter. But then when he checked in, I immediately turned into a hater and I did not expect it. I yelled, miss it. When Lebron took that first shot, he did, Jude miss it and Julius Randall gets the ball, and I said, go at him, yelling at my TV. Abbay's look at me, like what do you? Where did this come from? In like an instant, I became a hater and was so thrilled to see them like kind of welcome to the league a little bit, that's what he needed.

00:21:32
Speaker 1: So at the.

00:21:35
Speaker 4: Lebron bricked two shots and then the first bucket, and I loved every second of it because we all know what this is and I liked him kind of getting his way.

00:21:44
Speaker 1: You think it was sweet at all?

00:21:45
Speaker 4: No, I, but I didn't expect to feel that feeling. But the moment he checked in. I just started yelling at you.

00:21:50
Speaker 1: Think it was sweet.

00:21:51
Speaker 3: I did just to have that moment. Was it long? Just a couple of minutes. I went to see Jo Siah last night. The first thing he told me, he goes, Hey, Bronny and lebron played together. That's what he was excited about.

00:22:01
Speaker 1: That's interesting, Like, I mean, I that Pete he's gone now. But Mario, Mario and I fought for a year about Bronnie. He's convinced he's gonna be good. I think. I think dudes, young guys they want Bronnie to succeed, and older guys like old man Franklin here don't want him to succeed.

00:22:19
Speaker 4: And it's just kind of you later, Yo, I actually like Brian. I'm saying, I was surprised. I wanted just that you wanted to be. I wanted everyone to turn up their intensity and say, all right, you want to be in the league, come get some of this, And that's kind of.

00:22:31
Speaker 1: What they did to him. Well, I bet he's gone to the G League. Maybe today afternoon. Yeah, we'll take a break. Be right back, SKISSR. Mario is driving around Lexington, trying to figure out where he's gonna stop. I told him he can't go to like one of his buddy's house. I know how his mind works now. He was like, gonna go to his buddy's house or like a friend of his that owns a T shirt shop. I was like, you can't do that. You gotta go somewhere random.

00:22:59
Speaker 3: I think one other time I went to Chuck E Cheese. I stayed outside of Chucky.

00:23:02
Speaker 1: So weird, Like you found a way to go, you found a way both of those.

00:23:06
Speaker 4: I'd call the cops.

00:23:07
Speaker 1: Why is your brain registered that the two places to go are Victoria's Secret and Chuck E Cheese. I mean, I honestly can't think of two weirder places for you to go unless you went to like a daycare center, Like why why would you go?

00:23:20
Speaker 3: Those places may have been you know, the weird coffee I had that morning.

00:23:23
Speaker 1: No, it's just your brain. You literally think you know what would be funny if I stand out here and gawk at a Victoria Secret.

00:23:31
Speaker 4: Those are two places where if the middle age manages loitering, they need to call someone record it.

00:23:37
Speaker 1: You shouldn't never, I would argue, one of those places you shouldn't be in unless you're with your kids and then chuck e cheese. No, I'm just kidding, but what person rites? Uh Drew turned into a boomer the brownie checked in. I did a little bit. Dillingham didn't play d NP. I thought Dillingham was gonna get significant minutes, did not play.

00:24:10
Speaker 4: He's in such a weird spot because the eighth pick, you're usually going a team that's not that good and they need you and there's an expectation. But he went straight to a title contender. And as we saw last night, I don't think this will continue. But they don't really go straight to it, don't really need him right away obviously the good roster.

00:24:25
Speaker 1: I mean, they'll probably be injuries and stuff as it goes that will that will make him do it. But it is really really strange, you know that that happened. One person writes, Matt. I want to see us blow this team out tonight, towards the end of the Cali or some of these exhibition games would stay close for a while. We need to beat him by.

00:24:43
Speaker 3: Forty We all want that, you know. But they had came out of the gate the Blue White game, didn't shoot the ball that well.

00:24:51
Speaker 2: Well.

00:24:51
Speaker 1: Today, I just kind of feel that they'll I think the shooting will be good this evening, And.

00:24:56
Speaker 4: Really the Blue White shooting was only two people Brion elmanor like two for six or seven from three. Car and Chandler and a couple others shot it pretty well.

00:25:05
Speaker 1: I had somebody tell me around the team, Matt Carr will be our leading scorer. You have Jackson, but he was like, Jackson's a better player, but Carr will score more because he'll play more minutes and he gets to the free throw line, et cetera.

00:25:18
Speaker 4: Well, in May, on this show, several times I started calling him SEC Tournament MVP Andrew Carr, and that remains. I expect him to be the best player on this team, at least with preduct I think Laman Butler with his defense, but as far as getting some accolades and scoring a lot of points, I think it's gonna be Andrew Carr.

00:25:32
Speaker 1: One person writes, my wife, Matt wanted me to ask you what you think of Brianna chicken fry?

00:25:39
Speaker 3: What is this Brianna chicken fry?

00:25:42
Speaker 1: The number one thing is I'm sad that I know what that is. Like those were words if you had told me six months ago. I would have had, Like, what was your reaction to those words?

00:25:54
Speaker 3: First of you said, Brianna thought it was a name, but her nate last name can't be Chicken Fry.

00:25:59
Speaker 1: It is Chicken.

00:26:00
Speaker 3: That's her last name.

00:26:01
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I don't know if it's a real last name. But it's like, I'm sure I'm gonna get this wrong. But it's like someone that's on TikTok. They're like TikTok famous. They dated the singer Zach Brynt. You know who that is. I guess, or you clear this up for me if it's true. I guess he cheated on her by having a Riah profile while they were dating, which seems like a bad decision on his part.

00:26:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's been some cheat some cheating Reddit threads seems that he might have out a couple times.

00:26:34
Speaker 1: But then she yesterday put out a video. I guess he announced the breakup without telling her, and she found out by logging on and seeing it on his Instagram.

00:26:46
Speaker 3: That's not cool.

00:26:47
Speaker 1: Now, normally that would make you sad, but these people that live TikTok lives, they just lived their sadness in front of everybody. So she turns on a video of her crime talking about and I have no opinion about the two of them dating. But I don't understand people's desires to live out their sadness online. I mean, like, for instance, when I go on Facebook, friends of mine or people that I'm on Facebook who will write about their breakups or I don't get that either, do you know? I don't get I mean, I in life that's pretty online, but I would never do that.

00:27:29
Speaker 3: You put in your worst moments out there for other people. Man, that's kind of private, that stuff.

00:27:33
Speaker 1: And then I also worry sometimes I'll see people put like I'm you know, I'll see people put like cryptic messages that makes me worry about them. Yeah, you know, And I don't. I don't understand the desire to do that. I watched hers to defend her a little bit. She made the video because she was saying, this wasn't supposed to be public. I want to not do this. I want to be in bed and cry for a week. But because he's done that, she's like, my phone's blowing up, people are calling for comment just so she's her video was saying, I can't believe he did this to me. I want to just criticism for breaking up with her on Instagram. I mean, like, imagine like Mick Jagger in the back in the deck, because dude, it's huge, isn't he? Like the whole thing is odd to me, the thing that is the least. I am online much more than I want to be, but like young people's entire lives are online and Ryan. Not only do I not think it's healthy, I also just think it's odd.

00:28:35
Speaker 3: We're losing that human decency compassion element that we were born with. We're losing it because now everything has.

00:28:42
Speaker 1: To be break up with someone on Instagram.

00:28:46
Speaker 3: That's sad.

00:28:47
Speaker 1: It is sad. Even for famous people. It's sad. Let's go to Jacob. What's up, Jake? Excuse me, Little John? What's up? Little John?

00:28:55
Speaker 6: Hey?

00:28:55
Speaker 8: Matt, Hey, everybody love the show?

00:28:58
Speaker 1: Thanks man?

00:29:00
Speaker 8: Heyes, this first time? Long time?

00:29:02
Speaker 1: Who are.

00:29:04
Speaker 6: Yeah?

00:29:04
Speaker 8: I've been to a few of the live shows. The first time calling in anyway, I tried to call yesterday. Can I tell you a quick fan Heckler story from my past?

00:29:12
Speaker 1: Very quickly? Yes?

00:29:15
Speaker 8: Okay, So me and my best buddy when the Young Center first opened up, I was like, you know, I got tickets first to go see Louisville and Georgetown, and he goes, why the hell would you get tickets for that? And I was like, well, let's go there.

00:29:27
Speaker 1: And didn't they win that game?

00:29:30
Speaker 8: Yeah? They did. I said, well, cheer for Georgetown even though we're not Hollyo's fans, and well, we're all our k here and just annoy all the Louisville fans. And we were just in there having a great time annoying on them all. And at one point I even called the score an operator who runs the big screen of the Louisville and I was saying, there's a technical issue. I looked up the phone number. There's a technical issue. They got this crappy Louisville game on the screen. Can y'all put the Kentucky game on? Police and everybody around the crowd just hate it does. But we were having such a good time seeing George sound beat him. And we even saw Nerlin still well that night, and my friends bought in them out because I guess he had a recruiting visit there. He said, don't go to lou We'll come to Kentucky.

00:30:11
Speaker 1: Well, I, well, I appreciate the call. It you call the score operator to tell him to put a different game on during the game.

00:30:21
Speaker 3: That's the boss move, different.

00:30:22
Speaker 1: Level of taunting.

00:30:24
Speaker 4: I never heard that.

00:30:24
Speaker 1: I've never heard of calling the score operator in the middle of the game and going, will you put the Kentucky game on?

00:30:29
Speaker 4: I wouldn't do it, but I respect it.

00:30:30
Speaker 1: I like it. Yeah, that's uh, that's something else. Let's go to Jacob. What's up, Jacob?

00:30:38
Speaker 2: Hey man, how are you doing today?

00:30:40
Speaker 1: Bring the excitement as always, Jacob.

00:30:46
Speaker 8: Uh, Billy is right about the female microphone.

00:30:50
Speaker 6: He did sound different on there.

00:30:51
Speaker 1: Oh okay, well, well thanks for letting me know.

00:30:56
Speaker 4: And uh and uh, I'm wanting to know. I'm wanted to know if I could, if I can hear the game tonight on the on the on the app, I have yes.

00:31:05
Speaker 1: The game will still be on the all the iHeart channels eight forty six, thirty ninety one, your app. The radio call of the game is the same. It's just television. You have to have it on your computer.

00:31:22
Speaker 8: I appreciate your time, Mania, thank you sir.

00:31:28
Speaker 1: Thank you for hearing me.

00:31:29
Speaker 3: I just appreciate your card.

00:31:30
Speaker 1: I just I like Jacob. If you remember this, Jacob does that a couple of times a year. You just acts like calls in ask me what channel it's on. I like that you don't have Google.

00:31:41
Speaker 4: He's got me.

00:31:41
Speaker 1: I don't have Google. That's okay if I'm nine two, eight oh, twenty two eighty seven. Uh, the NBA is finally back. News tonight, ree Sheepherd plays his first game. Okay, Antonio Reeves plays his first game, and a new season means you should get involved. Well, actually that's not what I want to do. Never mind, I'll tell you what. This got a lot going on. Let's take a break. We'll be right back in this Kanzler quarterback takey Sports Radio. One of my favorite things is the fact that after all these years, people still don't get why I say it's on the computer. Now, they still will write me. I've now been doing that for seven or eight years. People will still write me and go, you know, it's not just on the computer. I do. But I like to say that it's a bit. It's a bit. It's like when I say text machine. It's not an actual machine, it's an act. But I say the game is on the computer, and you know, it's kind of like a salute to the people that have been listening for a long time.

00:32:41
Speaker 4: And it's factual because it is on the computer.

00:32:43
Speaker 3: It is.

00:32:43
Speaker 4: I mean there are other ways, tablets, TVs, but there are other ways.

00:32:47
Speaker 1: Uh, if I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven, Fernando Valenzuela died, I knew you'd want to talk about that. Ryan that feels like one of your era heroes.

00:32:57
Speaker 3: YEAHA believe it was nineteen eighty one. He broke into the big and just this chubby, Hispanic dude that looked up in the sky before he delivered the ball. He was just a phenomenon and Fernando Mania kind of not just took over the Dodgers in Los Angeles, took over all of America and baseball. He was just unbelievable because he didn't he looked looked like somebody just walked down the street, didn't look like an athlete at all. Yet he was really really good.

00:33:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he was like he was good for a while, but he was a one year like pheno his rookie year, like like people don't it's hard to talk about how famous he was for a year. It was crazy because baseball doesn't really get that anymore. Where everybody everybody just all decides to revolve around. But for one year, I think in nineteen eighty was it eighty, I think it was nineteen eighty, he was the biggest sports celebrity there was for a year. And there I think people liked it because before he would pitch, as he was lining up, he'd look up at the sky. Huh, be like in the middle of your golf swing, just looking out into the distance, and then he would put his eyes down and throw it. And he had some injuries. He did throw a no hitter. There's a famous story that he walked out he was about to pitch in like a random day, and he looked at it guy and goes, today, I'm throwing a no hitter, and then he did.

00:34:15
Speaker 4: He did well.

00:34:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, he called his shot. Apparently never said that any other game, but he walked out and he looked at whoever the first baseman was for the Dodgers and said, I'm gonna throw a no hitter today, and then he did.

00:34:28
Speaker 3: Thirty for thirty did a thing on him. And it was I don't know, maybe five years ago, but he would still when he'd walk around Dodger Stadium. He was just still revered like some god because he just people loved him. They fell in love with him for that short time.

00:34:42
Speaker 1: Mark Pope threw his wife under the bus yesterday said it was not him that ran out of gas, it was her that.

00:34:48
Speaker 3: Ran He careful, Mark, be careful.

00:34:51
Speaker 1: Nick Rousehrowkasart was his first big mistake as coach. Yep, he said it wasn't he, It wasn't me, it was her. Now Tyler Thompson The Way has a great profile of Mark Pope's wife on KSR this morning. Really awesome, probably the best look at the family since they've been here. Used to check it out. But would you think drew of Mark saying not it wasn't me, it was my wife.

00:35:16
Speaker 4: I don't know if you just gotta eat that with Mark. I mean, everyone thought it was you, so just stick with it. You know, everyone was laughing. He was on fun, no harm, no foul. I would have just taken that one with me and I would have been the guy that run on a gas and she could have kept living her life.

00:35:27
Speaker 1: Does he looked like a better husband? Wife runs out of gas? Lead your meeting? I mean he said he was in a meeting, left his meeting, took his staff to go pick his wife up and get her gas. Maybe he looks sweeter doing that.

00:35:43
Speaker 3: He looks more endearing. But you got to take like Drew said, you got to take one for the team. Even if it was her. You still let people blink it was you be the better husband because that that was a I was embarrassed for him when he said that. Really, Yeah, like, dude, you got to eat that one. You gotta like everybody thinks that you right now? Anyway, Yeah, you came to a rescue, but protect your way.

00:36:03
Speaker 1: Why does nobody have a video of that?

00:36:05
Speaker 4: That's what I couldn't believe.

00:36:06
Speaker 3: I don't understand.

00:36:06
Speaker 4: He's a Broadway.

00:36:07
Speaker 1: A couple of people on Broadway honked, like pulled and said, Hi, How did no one take a video? I mean, if it wasn't for the woman on Twitter, I no one would. How did no one take a video?

00:36:18
Speaker 4: I don't I waited all afternoon for something to pop up, someone to send it to us and be on a website or message board. No evidence.

00:36:25
Speaker 1: A Next time you see Mark Pope in the wild rescuing I don't mean just filming anywhere, but rescuing his wife with a gas can, I think we got we gotta we gotta have a video, right.

00:36:39
Speaker 3: It was in a tough area down there where it happened. I guess when people came up on it, they didn't have time to get their phone out, their camera out and shoot it.

00:36:46
Speaker 1: Where was it?

00:36:46
Speaker 3: Wasn't It was right down here on Broadway? Did close to downtown, wasn't it?

00:36:49
Speaker 4: The tweet didn't say where. I just said Broadway. It just said Broadway. So I almost boomed Cody Figure with my car a few days ago downtown. Oh really, yeah, like right in front of my hood, he's standing there. I almost rolled down the window and said, hey, but I'm not gonna say he was jay walking. I'm not gonna say he wasn't either, But yeah, I locked up the brakes and looked up and there's a guy right in front of me, Cody Figure.

00:37:10
Speaker 1: Yeah. That's that's interesting, and the amount of sightings are good. A couple of people in on the Georgetown college basketball team told me they worked out here in Lexington and the coach, I guess, took them to our bar. And this is like on three point thirty on a Tuesday, and then like three UK players walked in and he said they were almost kind of staring at each other even though neither of them knew who was what, like, what are you doing here? Well? What do you do? They're the only people that was in the place. I like the three point thirty pm basketball stare down between Kentucky and Georgetown College.

00:37:51
Speaker 3: I did have a guy told me that the football team there, I mean the basketball team, they're kind of anonymous right now. They can go to places and people really don't know who they are. It's about to change.

00:38:00
Speaker 1: How many people, how many players right now do you think are even recognized? I mean outside of Travis Perry and Trent Noah. I bet Trenton Noa is not recognized. I bet you.

00:38:11
Speaker 4: Trina went by me on a scooter on campus recently paid attention.

00:38:16
Speaker 1: Trent Noah just looks like any other kid. I bet you really only only Travis Perry. I mean, I guess if you're Garrison Williams or Carr, you're so tall that you would stand out for that reason. But I'm sure these other guys are walking around campus almost like they're unknown.

00:38:36
Speaker 3: That's what the guy told me.

00:38:37
Speaker 1: There.

00:38:39
Speaker 3: Anonymous right now, nobody knows who they are.

00:38:41
Speaker 1: How many what percent of our fans do you think? I would know who Kobe Bray is if he saw just passing on the street.

00:38:52
Speaker 3: I think very few.

00:38:54
Speaker 4: He's pretty tall. I think that helps a little bit. Like six three, I mean he's about six six.

00:39:00
Speaker 3: Is he that big?

00:39:01
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think all these heights are exager But let's just I mean, I I don't think you know the dude. A dude that six eleven stands out? Yes, But I don't know, do you how many people even think know we would let Jackson Robinson?

00:39:14
Speaker 3: Looks like probably very few.

00:39:16
Speaker 4: I saw Jackson Robinson on campus, walk right past him and he was wearing an NBA Draft Combine participant T shirt, and still nobody's talking to him that that was a pretty big giveaway. I think only one person on campus has those right now. I just I think, I mean, we're wrapped up in it.

00:39:32
Speaker 1: But I think this is the most anonymous the UK basketball team has ever been. There will if you just put some of these players in the student section too, I think a lot of our fans wouldn't even know.

00:39:48
Speaker 3: Yes, especially yeah, the shorter guys Lamont Butler.

00:39:50
Speaker 1: Lamont Butler per Uh, Yeah, those.

00:39:55
Speaker 3: Dudes would fit right in.

00:39:57
Speaker 1: I think they would just fit right in. I think this is going to be I bet you right now, if Mario took Trent Noah in Lexington, no one would stop them. Now that's gonna change. It will definitely change, and it'll start to change tonight. Yes, but it is a very unique situation at Kentucky to have an anonymous basketball team. Bob and Jamestown, go ahead, Matt.

00:40:26
Speaker 6: I'm really getting excited about this World Series. I remember, I'm an old school Dodgers fan. Walter Smokey Austin, their coach back. He started in Brooklyn and finished twenty years later, signed twenty three one year contracts, won four World Series and seven pennants, and agent from Dartown, Ohio, little old Crossroads. I remember seeing him.

00:40:55
Speaker 1: What is that to do? Why are you talking about Walter Smokey on Austin.

00:41:01
Speaker 6: Because the Dodgers are playing the Yankees. I want the Dodgers to.

00:41:04
Speaker 1: Win because of Walter sm Reds fan.

00:41:08
Speaker 6: I'm a Red fan, but I just remember the big rivalry in the seventies between the Dodgers and the Reds. I mean, Pete Rose had to look at Sandy Kofag's Don Drysdale. It was faceball, Golden era Anyway, I appreciate to.

00:41:26
Speaker 1: Call Walter Smokey Austin signed twenty three one year contracts. That's what I got out of VET.

00:41:32
Speaker 3: We're pull for the Dodgers for Lonnie. I hate that Lonnie's good.

00:41:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, I am excited. They're playing. Like that's going to be a cool series. Two best teams, two biggest markets haven't played for a World Series since like nineteen seventy whatever. That will be cool, be good for baseball to have it happened. And really we do it to honor Walter Smokey Austin because he's from Ohio. And if there's one thing that we want to focus on, it is that, hey, if I'm not wait over twenty two to eighty seven, we won't take a break. Mario is gonna tell you where he is to give away these tickets the game tonights. Ks are
