00:03:11
Speaker 4: You go, all right? Cool? A couple of things I want to talk about before we get back to phones. You watched the James Garfield Show.

00:03:19
Speaker 2: My mom and dad and I watched it in its entirety over the weekend, and my dad loved it.

00:03:24
Speaker 4: Did you like it? I did like it. It's really good. It's really good.

00:03:26
Speaker 2: So he said, to thank you for the recommendation.

00:03:28
Speaker 4: You're very welcome. Tom womb scams, he steals the show. Ron Swanson is in it, the dude from Lexington, Michael Shannon, good show, really good show. My facial hair very.

00:03:40
Speaker 2: Factual, a lot of it.

00:03:41
Speaker 3: We left it up.

00:03:41
Speaker 4: We looked it up. Oh so you checked the historical accuracy. Yes, yeah, wow, And it was very factual. Yeah, it really was well good. I'm glad so you as I'm glad you enjoyed it. I try. I'm on episode four. I kind of fell asleep last night because I was so tired, but looking forward to finish it. All right, we all have I think Mario I talked Mario about this and Billy about this. Girl yesterday. But I have my new favorite player that's not a Kentucky player. Okay, Audie, is it Crooks? Attie Crooks? Have you seen this girl? Sharnon? This woman? No, she plays for Iowa State. She's awesome. Yeah, all right, she crushes people. I mean Shaq at his finest was not Audie Crook can't stop her, cannot stop her. Nope. She gets the ball in the post and says, out of my way. It's over, it is over. She had forty three points in twenty one minutes the other Oh and and like she's bigger than everybody, but that's not it, that's part of it. But she's got pretty quick feet, ye for somebody her size, and she gives you a little who's to do? And if you're not ready for the HOUSTI two, she just knocks you over. And luckily the rest they let them play. They're not gonna let you flop. There's a video of her Iowa State playing Valpo. You need to go look. If you I'm sure you've seen it, but if you haven't seen it, you need to go look at the highlight clip. It is two minutes of her abusing these girls doing whatever she wants. I mean, whatever she wants. She goes through them, she goes around them, she fade aways right hand, left hand, and they're good. Their team is good, like she's not like a novelty act. They're good. And she is going to be a star this year. I think she's like a junior. I've seen her before, but she's done something in the offseason because now she's just destroying people. Have you seen her play? Oh? Yes?

00:05:45
Speaker 2: And the fact that she's a big woman. You think that's the main reason she's gonna be a star. I knew not to go to him, but she is. I'm gonna put you to the side, Drew. Let me finish this point.

00:05:58
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't to help you, all right.

00:06:03
Speaker 3: You don't gets away with it.

00:06:05
Speaker 4: You don't know. I never said that. I said she's Shannon you.

00:06:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, what you want me to do about it?

00:06:13
Speaker 4: I want you to mute it. Okay. She is fun to watch and she's awesome.

00:06:20
Speaker 5: Yes, she had a good sophomore season, but her junior year, her numbers are incredible.

00:06:23
Speaker 4: It's forty three points in twenty one minutes.

00:06:25
Speaker 5: She's averaging it's like twenty eight. It's close to thirty points. But she's shooting almost eighty percent.

00:06:29
Speaker 4: From the field.

00:06:30
Speaker 5: And it's not like it's shooting eighty it's like seventy seven something. Like it's really hot. And it's not like she's just on the on the block, you know, laying it up. She's got turnaround, turnaround. Yeah, she's smooth. I mean they're smooth. Just like you said. Just type her name in Twitter, YouTube and watch the highlights and it will not let you down.

00:06:47
Speaker 4: She's I mean a little Jokic ask, I mean not not you know, Jokic is one of the best players of all time. But like the footwork is pretty impressive. And I don't know what these I don't know what those girls at Valpo were supposed to like whatuff? Like, what were they gonna do? Now? They should have just gotten back on the bus and gone home.

00:07:08
Speaker 5: That's why that highway video is to entertainment.

00:07:10
Speaker 4: I mean, poor Valpo women's team. Just go home.

00:07:15
Speaker 5: But you're right, she's only a few games in her junior year. Just now the brand is getting out there. She's gonna be a start if they stay good, because they're pretty good. If they stay good, that is.

00:07:26
Speaker 4: Your You know, what was the name of the guy on NC State DJ Burns, it's that but she might but like her size differential is even greater than his, so it's even more amazing.

00:07:39
Speaker 5: And they love her. She's like homegrown Iowa. I think she was Iowa Miss basketball, has all the high school records, so she's just adding on to her career right now. I know they just had Caitlin Clark at the other Iowa not gonna get in that territory. But she is a huge star in the making.

00:07:53
Speaker 4: She's my new uh what what do you call it? What was our nickname for the guy from Indiana State, Kream abdul Jabbar. She's my new Kaream abdul Jabbar, although he's still playing. He's in Saint Louis this year. Also, I had to give a shout out to Read Shepherd. Five straight games of at least fourteen points a game, starting to come on at twenty one the other night. Now, he tripped a guy. When you think about that part, you know, guy had it, he was asking for it. He needed to be tripped. He needed to be tripped. Sometimes you can get hit in the face, you gotta trip him. But Reid, who started off the year very poorly starting to come on. Now, I have a question for you, though. You were saying on ks board that there's a lot of red negativity. Where do you think our fan base is with red right now?

00:08:40
Speaker 5: I am actually stunned that what seems like a d I'm not gonna act like it's this huge percentage of the fan base, but there are several people who have not forgiven him for wearing the Arkansas gear. I don't know that I've seen it this year, but even last season and rup before the games, they'd scroll NBA players how they're doing. I mean, there would be some booze for read Shepherd, not a ton, but just the fact that there's any still blows up.

00:09:03
Speaker 4: You would say the vast majority of people still very pro.

00:09:05
Speaker 5: I would hope so. But I will say when we have a thread on case board, and I love case Board, I know you listening to a.

00:09:10
Speaker 4: Lot of natatory though on case I mean when I read like.

00:09:14
Speaker 5: It's a message board, you know, part.

00:09:16
Speaker 4: Of me it's like, come on, guy, like this is kay and where do you think this came from? And they're like, so I get it. But I'm just.

00:09:22
Speaker 5: Shocked in general that there are people that I don't think they'll ever forgive him. I didn't think that would be the case. I thought it was dumb to do it. I didn't even care in the moment. I just thought it bad decision making. Now we're almost a.

00:09:32
Speaker 4: Year later, and people have not gotten over that. Well, it clearly represents some faction of the fan base. Are you is anyone on this show still perturbed at Red Shepherd? Not even a little bit.

00:09:44
Speaker 3: No, No, I've thought about it twice since it happened, and we brought it up twice on this show. That's when I thought about it.

00:09:50
Speaker 5: It was dumb, but I root for him. You try to watch every game I can pull.

00:09:53
Speaker 4: I find myself pulling for him, so I don't have any I mean, he's from the Mountains, right, so I can't help.

00:09:58
Speaker 2: But be He's third teenth region man, he is diehard Kentucky throw and through it.

00:10:03
Speaker 4: It was a bad movie. Told him to do that. That was really dumb. But but beyond that, I can't now if he shows up, if he does it again, if it doubles again, we're gonna get the Hague.

00:10:18
Speaker 3: You might as well just double down and do it.

00:10:19
Speaker 4: You want him to wear an Arkansas shirt every year, it's the same.

00:10:22
Speaker 3: What's the difference. I mean, people are already hating him because he did a year ago. People get over stuffed though clearly yeah a year later they haven't gotten over it.

00:10:30
Speaker 4: But if they just keep double down on it.

00:10:33
Speaker 3: All Arkansas, no Kentucky at all. Shorts and shorts.

00:10:37
Speaker 4: You do not.

00:10:39
Speaker 5: Know well the applause to like, there's a clip of him looking like Grace Allen, which will defend the guy h him in the face first. But this is a bad look for favu of Arkansas Arkansas behavior. This is black eye for the hogs.

00:10:51
Speaker 4: Like that.

00:10:51
Speaker 5: Those are the comments to it.

00:10:52
Speaker 4: I don't think that's the norm, though, I don't think. I do think that that. In general, Chaos Board is generally pretty positive play. But when you get on those show threads, there's that one dude, Bagel face McCoy here. We've had We've had bagel problems. Ye, yeah, I've had some of those people.

00:11:07
Speaker 5: Thank he's on his twentieth account.

00:11:09
Speaker 4: Yeah, we might need to see some of those people. Gotta go, let's go to Nate. Go ahead, Nate.

00:11:16
Speaker 7: Yeah, Hey, Matt and Gang, I'm in your former home the Raleigh Durham area getting married on Saturday.

00:11:22
Speaker 4: Oh, congratulations, gonna celebrate with a Hurricanes game.

00:11:27
Speaker 7: Well that's what I called in to talk about, Matt and my might ask anything question to you. It got two things. As we went to the Edmonton Hurricanes game last Saturday, and my future father in law went to go drop off can goods at the Hurricanes little they had a can drive and it's right outside the stadium. Well, guess who was out there, Old Jacob Slavin and so we were taking pictures, but we stood around there for about ten or fifteen minutes. Nobody had any.

00:11:53
Speaker 4: Clue who this guy was really.

00:11:55
Speaker 7: And that's my question. Oh it was incredible. Man. I was like, this guy's in a being, he's the best player for the So my question would be, are hockey players the most people the most unrecognizable people on TV? Who are millionaires out in public?

00:12:14
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I would say so, I would think. So. I mean, I'm I'm a huge Hurricanes fan and I could probably recognize by face, a hos vetching the cough and Slavin and that's it. I think maybe Jarvis, but like most of the guys, I wouldn't recognize. So you're probably right. I mean, those dudes make a lot of money. But you know, I think about the NFL, I appreciate the call. I mean a lot of those NFL guys you wear a helmet, look for helmets, you don't necessarily know what they look like, right, I mean the linemen are obvious, but if you get someone that's just, you know, reasonably sized, Yeah, I mean I would the UK players in the past kind of admit their jealousy of the basketball players. You have to remind them, like they go the free throw line, it's zoomed in on their face on Nashvial TV wearing helmets on the time. If we're being how many guys on the Kentucky football team could walk down the street in Lexington everybody know who they were? Cutter Bowley would yes? Do you think Seth McGowan everybody would know what he looks like?

00:13:11
Speaker 2: Maybe now, not when the season started.

00:13:13
Speaker 4: I don't know, I don't know. Maybe maybe now.

00:13:16
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll say, Pete, you can spots huge, Yeahger, I mean he grew up here.

00:13:26
Speaker 4: I mean maybe by people who knew him when he was growing up. How many of the wide receivers do you think any do you think there's anyone that knows what Fred Ferrier looks like.

00:13:34
Speaker 2: Well, he's from Frankfort, those people in Frankfort, But Cam Miller DJ Miller, if you put two of them side by side, most people would not know.

00:13:40
Speaker 4: Jeremy Macklin. You think a lot of people would know what he looks.

00:13:43
Speaker 5: Like, unless unless you're like watching the YouTube postgame interviews.

00:13:47
Speaker 3: They just don't.

00:13:49
Speaker 4: It's the nature of those guys, you know. Now, obviously the quarterback is a different situation. But like if you were to rank Kentucky football players by when they would be recognized, Cutter Bowley would be number one. Yeah, I think after that video, Zach Calzada is number two. I agree with that. That's a good call, don't you. Yeah, Who's three?

00:14:11
Speaker 3: Garrett?

00:14:13
Speaker 5: I think we don't know what Garrett looks like?

00:14:18
Speaker 4: Though, we don't know what Garrett looks like unfortunately. I mean, it's got to be Pete just by pure it probably would be Shias Pete in the long ponytail. But I mean, Alexafari's an NFL player. Do you think anyone knows him? Very few?

00:14:32
Speaker 2: I was trying to think.

00:14:33
Speaker 4: I mean, he's been in the bar, like I told his girlfriend works at the bar. He's been in the bar and I didn't realize he was in there. People were like, you realized that was just Alex Safari.

00:14:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the only defensive guy. Maybe ty Bryant just because he's from here.

00:14:45
Speaker 4: I think you way are overestimating the people from here. Ty Bryant. No one knows it unless you went to school with ty Bryant. They don't know what he looks like.

00:14:54
Speaker 2: A lot of people know he looks like.

00:14:55
Speaker 3: I don't know what he looks like. He can walk in here right now.

00:14:58
Speaker 4: Do you know what he looks like? I do interview Mario, you know what he looks like? All right, well you all interviewed you. I don't know what he looks like.

00:15:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, he can walk in here right now. Anybody could walk in her.

00:15:08
Speaker 8: Ok.

00:15:09
Speaker 5: The Kentucky football fans to get on YouTube and watch the interview, they'll know. But the ones that just tune on the game, they just don't get much FaceTime.

00:15:15
Speaker 4: But the thing that the thing that are a lot of our fan base and a lot of there is a huge difference between the fan base that watches videos on YouTube, that posts on social media, that goes on chs board and the general things. One of the things I always say to people, and I have to remind that this of myself. This show is for the general casual fing and the hardcore fan forgets those people exist. But there are more of those people than there are the hardcore fan. Oh absolutely, there are more people who And it's interesting to me when a story breaks into the casuals. Right. So, the get your Money Garrett was fascinating because the casuals knew about it.

00:16:00
Speaker 5: Yeah, but that took getting front page CBS, and I mean that was a national.

00:16:04
Speaker 4: Sin and Garrett calling this show. Yeah, So yeah, I think the casuals, and I say casuals are positive because I think these are the vast majority of our fans. They would know Cutter bowllying, Zach Calcata and that's probably and she owes and that's probably it.

00:16:18
Speaker 2: And that goes back to like this this past spring, they should have done a better job introducing some of these guys to the fan base. We get to know them a little bit.

00:16:24
Speaker 4: We'll take a break A five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty sevens KSR. Welcome back, Take you Sports Radio. I was just sitting here thinking Shane and I had no people in my life named Key Brian. Yeah a year ago, and now there are two key brides. The Reds have a key Brian and the Hurricanes have a key Bride.

00:16:44
Speaker 3: Well, they're not really in your life. I mean, they're just people who exist that.

00:16:47
Speaker 4: You see them almost every day, Like I I would say, outside of close family and friends. Yeah, the Hurricanes and the Reds are more close to me than the vast majority of people. I watch more hurricanes. I mean the two things I watched the most on television are Reds and Hurricanes because they're on all the time. And like the two announcers for the Hurricanes, they're my friend Christmas car Trip Tracy is. I mean, no one here knows who Trip Tracy is, but I know his strengths, his weaknesses. He's overcome alcoholism. He has frosty tips in his hair that he debates back and forth whether or not to continue frosty in them.

00:17:31
Speaker 3: I take that back, Maybe these guys are your friends.

00:17:34
Speaker 4: Some people feel that way about us because they listen every day. I kind of have that with these random two guys in Raleigh. Like I think I would geek out if I saw the Hurricanes announcers starstruck when they were played in Columbus. I tried to find a way to sneak into the booth just to get a picture. I want to get a picture of the two guys.

00:17:52
Speaker 3: And then they were that's so I would have thought about skip carrying Don Sutton and Pi wearing.

00:17:58
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, okay, but this shut up. Like last night, I missed that we were driving during the Hurricanes Bruins we got back. I watched it on replay, some of it fast forward to the goals, but I wanted to see it.

00:18:14
Speaker 5: A hard fan, you know, growing up, I used to watch this guy right here to my left.

00:18:18
Speaker 4: Yeah. Now he's a big deal. When he'd come to mess we have to cut him off on certain topics. There are a lot of people writing on the text machine though, that still have read issues. I'm telling you, it's more than it should be, more than you would think. I really am surprised that it's so many. Let's go to uh, let's go to Dan, Dan, go ahead, Dan.

00:18:39
Speaker 9: Hey, Hey, Matt, this is Dan from Rocking Down.

00:18:41
Speaker 8: I'm calling you from Queenstown, New Zealand.

00:18:44
Speaker 4: Oh wowow hello Queenstown.

00:18:47
Speaker 10: Good day, Yeah, hey queen Yeah, I've been to Australia, going in Queenstown now.

00:18:53
Speaker 7: But I got to tell you that I'm wear a UK hat over here.

00:18:58
Speaker 9: And I've had numerous people, I want to.

00:19:01
Speaker 7: Say numerous three people from the United Kingdom with the.

00:19:04
Speaker 8: UK had on bet a Tennessee fan over here, didn't like didn't like him too much, talking about like he didn't even know anything about.

00:19:16
Speaker 10: In the morning there, it's five five thirty. Yeah, I'm getting ready to go eat reckless. We're going out early this morning. We've got a whole lot of turning around to do.

00:19:26
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's it's it's uh what you're all too It's Wednesday here?

00:19:31
Speaker 4: Yeah, well good, well up. I hope you're having fun. I guess will you get to watch the game Wednesday?

00:19:40
Speaker 8: I won't get the I won't get to watch it. I'll listen to it though, yeah okay, so yeah, yeah, yeah, I've been listening to you like of course, it's like going from a night shift to day shift here, so you know, I'm like, I went to bed at eight o'clock last night. Yeah, and so, uh.

00:19:59
Speaker 4: Wow, hope you enjoy the trip. I'm glad. I'm glad you're getting to do it. I know you know you've had some health issues, so in you're traveling. That's awesome. And Dan, it's good to hear from you. Yeah.

00:20:10
Speaker 8: Great listening to you guys. Man, loved your show. Brothers, thank you very much.

00:20:14
Speaker 4: Appreciate the call. Enjoy New Zealand. Dan, that's great. I'm glad he's there. Free bird, go ahead, Free bird.

00:20:22
Speaker 9: Guys, Greetings from Tompkinsville. Two things, guys, Glad you're back. Safe, but we had a good time. I love the interviews with the UK guys and Man, some of these UK fans. First of all, get off read. He did what he did, He's playing well, and let's have a little faith in this team. We got our point guard hurt. We don't know if he's coming back. Let him do what he did last year. Let him make shift the lineup and do his adjustments. It's November for crying out loud rant over. Y'all have a great fak.

00:20:53
Speaker 4: I agree with that. I totally agree with that. And if we end up without Low, I do think Pope will be able to, like he did last year, craft the best possible team he can from what's left. But I want Low to play because I think that's where we hit our peak.

00:21:10
Speaker 5: And we hit this last year and you had to turn. You lose Criso, then you're down to Travis Perry. I still like Aberdeen, and you know, Jasper's got a long way to go.

00:21:17
Speaker 4: What do you have?

00:21:18
Speaker 5: Seven eight assists Friday night? So they still have the bodies and really tonight, Aberdeen, they're Michigan State's point guard. Leads the nation and assists. He's really good. He averages almost ten asis a game. It'd be one where I think Aberdeen would be playing a lot anyway for defense with this matchup.

00:21:31
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, this might be a game where Jalen Low would have been the least helpful because I think he would get exposed a little on defense, and they're so physical in the physicality. So this is actually I think you'll see the need for Low more when we play Saint John's or when we play maybe even North Carolina. This is a game where this probably would have been an Aberdeen game anyway.

00:21:51
Speaker 2: He's definitely more valuable as a defender, and I can luck gun guy in the perimeter, but he's a better off guard off the ball guard. You know he's got to be you think so seems like with this little I've seen, he's a good point guard, but he's better off the bat.

00:22:03
Speaker 4: The problem with him playing off the guard is you can't play him, Oway, and Chandler all at the same time. Correct, Yeah, at least this way. I mean, if I'm trying to get bright spots, you can play all three of those guys together. Right now, he's the team's leading scorer. I know he's been moving around a lot, and still we're patching the roster together with all these injuries, but he's been even better than I expected. Really, do we expect to see a better game from Oway? We'll probably talk about this a lot on the pregame show, but.

00:22:30
Speaker 5: I think so. But if he doesn't play well, we're really starting to wonder what's going on between the ears.

00:22:36

00:23:29
Speaker 3: Pay now more. Kentucky Sports Radio present it by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.

00:23:35
Speaker 4: It really is amazing. I mean, the most texts are on the text machine hunt, like probably two hundred are about Reeed Shepherd aunt I ree No, They're not only in night. I mean there are positive ones too. One person writes, I love Reey Sheppard. He's an incredible player and he loves UK and Kentucky. Did he mess up wearing shirt sure, but that shouldn't make up for it, or shouldn't take away from what he has done. Another one writes, Reid is born and brad Kentucky. He's supposed to be ours. His shirt was in fidelity in Kentucky. You don't forgive infidelity. A lot of people do. If they didn't, there would be a lot fewer marriages, I think, around the around the state.

00:24:21
Speaker 2: So what could Red do to give everybody back on board.

00:24:25
Speaker 4: Burning Arkansas Jersey? That would be good. One person goes, I'm done with Reid and Rex Chapman. Reid's shirt and Rex's politics make me not care about two of the best players we ever had here. I don't know if they're the best players we ever had here, but I will say like neither of those are good reasons. The politics reasons ridiculous, Like come on, I mean, really, you're not gonna like a player because they disagree with you? About to stop it? Do you know all most politics? I mean, first of all, here's a little secret. The vast majority of the players you are are more on Rex's side than they are, Especially the closer you get to recently, go back in time, they're probably more on the other side, But none of that should matter about basketball. I mean, I understand if you want to mute Rex's Twitter account cause of it, But as far as like a player, what does that have to do with anything.

00:25:21
Speaker 2: One of the most popular players to ever play here for your team, your beloved Kentucky Wildcats, and you want to turn him off because he thinks something differently you politically.

00:25:29
Speaker 4: First of all, it's crazy you would think that if you listen to me. Good point, although Rex does go in a little bit farther than I do. All right, I want to play a game with you, all right, Guy Drew doesn't get to play because he'll know all these answers. This is for Shannon, and this is for Shannon and run.

00:25:46
Speaker 2: All right, We're ready.

00:25:47

Speaker 3: Then Shannon, I think it is Kansas State.

00:26:42
Speaker 4: Virginia, Virginia didn't have a clue, no idea. You did not know that. Where does Aaron Bradshaw play? I know this one.

00:26:50
Speaker 3: I think, Shannon, it was Ohio State, then he moved on to Arkansas. No, he's not a Darkan, so I don't know. I don't know this one.

00:27:01
Speaker 4: Memphis, Memphis. Shit, Ryan gets one right, all right? So it's Todd the winner can get. And I don't think either one of you are getting this one. Where does Damian Collins play?

00:27:18
Speaker 2: Because he left LSU.

00:27:21
Speaker 3: Arizona State.

00:27:23

00:27:40
Speaker 5: Is he a bull in South Florida ball South Florida?

00:27:42
Speaker 4: He plays at South Florida. There you go. I knew all of them, except I did not know he played at South Florida. We got to Devin ask you Villanova. Yeah, I think people would have gotten that. We've talked about that one. But at South Florida. Would you have known Damian Collins was at South Florida.

00:27:57
Speaker 2: Because he played a lot of minutes at LS. You don't know why he f LSU for South Florida.

00:28:01
Speaker 4: I can't believe you go Ugo? Is it Virginia?

00:28:04
Speaker 5: Neither Hugo is actually playing really well. Aaron Bradshaw is absolutely not well.

00:28:09
Speaker 4: He who goes at four and a half points a game. Can you name the women.

00:28:12
Speaker 5: Who just had some big games this year? Maybe not, but Aaron Bradshaw has not improved. From your story, she did a story on this today. Hugo is no.

00:28:19
Speaker 4: Nine and a half. You're right, so he's played well.

00:28:21
Speaker 5: Bradshaw has not improved in three years.

00:28:24
Speaker 4: D angel women's team that is ranked in the top twenty five, whose two best players are both former Kentucky women's players Ohio State.

00:28:36
Speaker 5: I don't know that one.

00:28:37
Speaker 3: Tennessee.

00:28:38
Speaker 4: I don't know any ready. No, I don't have it. TCU Mattie sher and Clara Silva.

00:28:46
Speaker 5: I completely forgot Maddy Shirr still playing past.

00:28:49
Speaker 4: Sarah Silva, who was the girl from Portugal. She's averaging a double double and Mattie Sherr is averaging ten points a game. Former Ryle High school star and they're in the top twenty five.

00:29:01
Speaker 2: So there's a big women's game at Momorial Costume tonight night.

00:29:04
Speaker 4: They played Purdue. Ye pack the house. We're blue. Yep, they have They're doing some kind of ticket giveaway. I can't remember what.

00:29:12
Speaker 5: Was they're giving away, like clear bags. I think students have huge giveaways like AirPods and men's basketball tickets and the men's game. Teacher appreciation night maybe.

00:29:23
Speaker 4: Sure, Yeah, if you're a teacher, you come in, they appreciate you, it'll be it's it's all kinds of fun. But it's tonight and they'll have it on the big screen.

00:29:31
Speaker 2: Men the guys game, they're gonna show them.

00:29:33
Speaker 4: I just have to say, though, to the schedule makers, you got to stop doing I feel like they do this to the women every year. I feel like we play. Didn't the women have a big home game last year during the Duke game. I do believe you're exactly right. Why do they do this to them?

00:29:46
Speaker 2: Were they thinking that they would play the late game again, so people can maybe see both.

00:29:49
Speaker 4: But even then, like you know, it's a Tuesday still though. I hope people go because, like I said, they got a big recruit there. But I don't know why they do that to them.

00:29:59
Speaker 5: This is their last home game until December seventh. I mean that's also good.

00:30:03
Speaker 4: It's odd that we play all these games they're playing in, like go.

00:30:06
Speaker 5: To Puerto Rico, go to Louisville, another road game.

00:30:11
Speaker 4: Okay, uh Shandon, did you see the story about the billionaire and his and the pickup line?

00:30:17
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, I did. I have seen this.

00:30:20
Speaker 4: Okay, So there's a guy named Bill Ackman. He's like a rich billionaire. I don't know what he did to get rich. I don't know what it is about these billionaires that, like, again, we talk about this all the time. If you're a billionaire, why don't you just go be a billionaire? Why do they all want to all of a sudden, You'll never hear from me again if I'm yeah, I mean, why is everybody like wanting to be a prognosi? You're a billionaire, I need like two million dollars and you're not. This show's over.

00:30:46
Speaker 5: You won't find me all right, like, I'm off the grid.

00:30:48
Speaker 4: Just give me a couple more minutes. Give me a couple more minutes, and we're out.

00:30:51
Speaker 3: A couple more This okay.

00:30:58
Speaker 4: So Bill Ackman, he he like pontificates on things, and for a while it was politics, but now he's just on life. He's decided he can give everybody advice on how to live their best.

00:31:12
Speaker 2: Life on social media or something because he's so relatable.

00:31:15
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's mister billionaire is relatable. And so his latest one was they somebody asked him, Bill, I don't know who's asking these questions. Dear Bill, what do you recommend we do for young men so they can meet women? You know who knows? Here was Bill's answer. He said, in my day, I have found that women really like it if you approach them on the street or in public and say may I meet you? That you walk up to him and you say may I meet you?

00:31:56
Speaker 2: Sounds like the worst idea ever, A robot that is not going to work in today's world.

00:32:02
Speaker 4: Do we think that that is a good introductory line to meet a woman?

00:32:08
Speaker 3: Shitton, It's a little weird, but it's straightforward. It's to the point, or no, may I meet you. That means what you talk to.

00:32:18
Speaker 2: Me, They're gonna say no and keep on walking.

00:32:20
Speaker 4: May I meet you is such a weird way to say it, isn't it.

00:32:24
Speaker 3: That's why it works, though, I think that you.

00:32:28
Speaker 4: Think it does work.

00:32:29
Speaker 3: Hey girl, let me talk to you.

00:32:32
Speaker 4: To go hay girl, what you do? Can you imagine though, if someone came up to you and said, may I meet you?

00:32:39
Speaker 3: You would be intrigued, be scared.

00:32:43
Speaker 4: I would feel like they were socially awkward to say something, Yeah, now, what's introduce yourself?

00:32:48
Speaker 5: Just go up and be like, hey, let's meet name how you do it?

00:32:52
Speaker 3: But you're assuming that she cares.

00:32:54
Speaker 4: But if she doesn't want to talk, I guess what I'm saying is, if she doesn't want to talk to you, is may I meet you gonna help? Or hurt?

00:33:01
Speaker 5: I say hurt.

00:33:02
Speaker 4: I think most women know if they have any potential interest in you within two to three sex seconds, right, and I think may I meet you? So they only make it work.

00:33:14
Speaker 2: Yes, in today's world, you're like, that's a little creepy goodbye.

00:33:19
Speaker 4: You think it's good?

00:33:20
Speaker 3: I think it could work. I mean it's different. We say that to me.

00:33:25
Speaker 4: Who is somebody that we could test this with, like, I don't think it works well. I think you have to go into the wild and do it for us. I can't do I can't. I can't, I can't. I don't have the I would be so embarrassed myself. May I meet you?

00:33:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, till you meet your future wife?

00:33:46
Speaker 5: How did you all meet? I walked up here and said, hey, can I meet you?

00:33:49
Speaker 4: That's weird?

00:33:50
Speaker 5: May may may I under you can't?

00:33:52
Speaker 3: I if she's gonna says to.

00:33:54
Speaker 4: Do this with would be if he was not engaged. Billy. Billy is a may I meet you would be a good test.

00:34:01
Speaker 5: Because he talks to people at the gym, which is.

00:34:04
Speaker 4: He does talk people in the elevator, and he would do it. I could see him doing it. I personally think it's a not a good way to start a conversation. Now he's getting roasted like everyone is. And there are videos online on TikTok of just people going up to strangers and saying, may I meet you, and the look of horror that he's on people's face. No people are testing it and like they're just they'll just walk up to somebody on the street and go, may I meet you?

00:34:32
Speaker 5: And They look at him like, use, it's not a natural thing to do.

00:34:35
Speaker 4: It's day.

00:34:38
Speaker 3: Which how old is this guy?

00:34:39
Speaker 4: So well, he was suggesting to do it now. He's probably in his fifties, so he was suggesting to do it now. So I don't know.

00:34:49
Speaker 3: We gotta try it out.

00:34:50
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can try.

00:34:51
Speaker 5: Shannon's the one sounds like pro's true.

00:34:54
Speaker 4: Would you like to try it out?

00:34:55
Speaker 3: Shannon?

00:34:56
Speaker 2: No, I wouldn't cut the street all big talk.

00:35:00
Speaker 4: All right, let's do our Draft Kings pick for the Let's not do Kentucky Michigan State. We'll do that later. Let's do Duke Kansas. Duke's an eleven and a half point favorite. You go to Draft Kings, use my promo code KSR bet five. Get two hundred dollars at Draft Kings. Who you like? Duke's an eleven and a half point favorite at Kansas.

00:35:18
Speaker 2: Pick it against the spread and Peterson is not playing.

00:35:21
Speaker 4: Peterson is not playing.

00:35:22
Speaker 2: I'm taking Duke, then the cover.

00:35:24
Speaker 4: See, I'm taking Kansas. I cannot see Kansas losing by twelve in the Champions Classic. I mean remember we felt like we got run off the court by Loui Wheel and lost by eight. I mean like, that's hard for me to see.

00:35:37
Speaker 5: It's way too many points for a matchup like this. Peterson's awesome. I mean, he might be my favorite of all those freshmen. I think he could be the best. So it's definitely gonna hurt him. But eleven and a half too many points for me. And again, like, eleven and.

00:35:48
Speaker 3: A half, I can't believe it would be that many. So I'm with you. I'm taking Kansas in the points, so I'm only one taking Duke.

00:35:54
Speaker 4: So three Kansas and one dude.

00:35:57
Speaker 2: My track record is awful on draft Kings, so you know where to go.

00:36:01
Speaker 4: Ryan's gonna see Duke Kansas and Bett punt.

00:36:05
Speaker 2: I was betting punt last night on the Steelers game.

00:36:08
Speaker 4: They didn't play.

00:36:11
Speaker 2: Cowboys, Raiders and Cowboys. Yeah, Steelers were Sunday. I was betting punt the Cowboys.

00:36:17
Speaker 4: I turned the Cowboys game on. I was like, let's see what the score is and it was thirty one six and Guy Fieri was on the screen with Peyton Manning. I was like, I think I'm gonna turn this off. I think I'm done. Hey, if I'm nine eighty seven'll take your call. B right backs KSR. You know May I meet you? Might work better if you're a billionaire, if you work up there, I'm a billionaire.

00:36:43
Speaker 3: As you're show on your your phone with your yeah, at.

00:36:48
Speaker 4: That point may be more of a successful successful lie.

00:36:53
Speaker 5: I think you could say anything at that point though, you think so, Yeah, like I'm a billionaire.

00:36:58
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd lead with that. Okay, there you go. If I'm nine uh two. A twenty two eighty seven one woman writes, I had a guy come up to me once on the street and say he would like to brush my hair. I would have preferred, may I meet you? Yeah? For sure, that would be That would be really weird. There's one more player that went to another school, and I guarantee you none of you know. Okay, where's Cameron Fletcher? Oh my, he's from Saint Louis. I'll say Saint Louis. All right. They may want to make a guess, man, I have it? Is it? He wasn't? Is it? Xavier? No, Shannon was hot point. You looked it up. You looked it up. There's no way you knew he was at hop you're looking at me right now. How I look that up?

00:37:49
Speaker 8: Way?

00:37:51
Speaker 4: Question, Shannon? That is the cheating cheating that.

00:37:54
Speaker 3: I look it up, you're looking at me. It's on the screen right now.

00:37:57
Speaker 4: How would you have known he's at hogh point?

00:37:59
Speaker 3: I know is a high point. How do you know anything?

00:38:03
Speaker 8: I know?

00:38:03
Speaker 4: Where did you hear he was at high point?

00:38:05
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I know.

00:38:10
Speaker 11: That that was maybe your most blatant you know, the Alabama House of Representative Espression taking up for you.

00:38:24
Speaker 3: Nobody would get it right.

00:38:25
Speaker 4: But now I'm in with the group that Shannon cheats because there's no way you could have known that.

00:38:30
Speaker 3: No way with my toes.

00:38:31
Speaker 4: I mean no way. You couldn't have known that. Go ahead, Miles, no way you could have known it.

00:38:37
Speaker 5: You googled five minutes ago and Matt said we forgot one.

00:38:41
Speaker 12: Uh. I was just gonna say, uh, uh that I absolutely love our basketball team. B she and uh and uh my favorite play was, uh is O take old Way? And and this is mouse from Dan and uh they're just miles from Dan and I.

00:39:10
Speaker 4: Well, thank you, it's good to hear from you. Hope to see you at the bar again soon. I appreciate the call and you and always going to have a big night for you. Miles. I have a feeling let's go to Ford. Go ahead, Ford.

00:39:23
Speaker 6: Hey, I was your comments about not knowing people's faces on the street, the difference between like basketball and football and like hockey or football and hockey helmet sports. The reason I know when I walk around campus I see like the basketball players, it's because I'm seeing, you know, practice clips, especially preseason, I'm seeing practice clips and stuff. I'm seeing practice clips of like the football team. They're in helmets. I'm not going to know their face.

00:39:47
Speaker 4: I mean, of course that's that's definitely the reason. But still that's all the more reason schools need to get people to learn their players like they need to do to or work in football. They need to do more of that for the exact reason you're.

00:40:04
Speaker 6: Talking about is that is that it's a UK UK and appreciate the call.

00:40:10
Speaker 4: It's UK. Well, I mean, JMI deserves the responsibility too. You know, somebody made a point to me last night that was fascinating but true. We were able me and Drew and Billy and Mario to do multiple clips and shut from the Buffalo Bills field. We can't do that at UK. Right. We were able to one on one talk in a way without anyone overseeing us with the Buffalo Bills players and you can at UK that's a failure in building relationships with the players. It just is and and they can have any excuse they want for it, but it's a failure. So then when people don't know them as well, that's on you. You did that, not like that's just how it is. Let's go to Poe.

00:41:02
Speaker 13: Go ahead, Poe, Yah, God bless and Uh, I just wanted y'all. I know you all aren't doing it, but whoever's on it lay off for read. He's true to the bone Kentucky and Uh, I'm sitting in London right now, and I know that's true.

00:41:22
Speaker 4: I appreciate U.

00:41:26
Speaker 13: My mom and dad. My dad lived in Virginia and my mom lived in London when I was little, and I went back and forth, back and forth, and I go through Middlesbrough and there was a store man that had a Kentucky helmet and a Tennessee helmet in what was the name of that store, I'm not sure what.

00:41:45
Speaker 4: The store was. Arnold's Athletic was an athletic store that's on that highway. Could that have been it?

00:41:52
Speaker 13: I don't know. It was on the left going towards Virginia.

00:41:57
Speaker 4: I appreciate the call. I think that was all they used to make jerseys. I'm sorry we have but yes, I think it was Arnold's Athletic that. I didn't think you'd have that answer, man. So we were right there on the border. So it's closed. Now.

00:42:10
Speaker 2: There was one store you said you don't have to go to get to get your shoes like they got. They had the shoes before everybody else. Is that the same store.

00:42:16
Speaker 4: Arnold's Athletic made the uniforms. No, there wasn't. There was a foot locker who big city. I was like, we had a we had like you know, we were big time in Middlesbrough By the way, we Pikeville needs to be ready. They gave this weekend. We're coming on the road.

00:42:35
Speaker 2: Jackets, jackets.

00:42:36
Speaker 4: No easy way to get from Pipe from middles It's like Buffalo to New York City. Same state. Not close. All right, four o'clock, we'll be back for the pregame show for Kentucky and Michigan State. Uh. Until then, get yourself ready. It's Champions Classic Day. This has been Kentucky Sports Radio
