Speaker 3: Welcome to our two of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones welcome back.

00:01:05
Speaker 4: I remember two Thuky Sports Radio eight.

00:01:07
Speaker 5: If I'm nine two eight h twenty two eighty seven, ask anything Tuesday. I'm gonna go to the phones here in a second and give people a chance to ask, you know anything, Shannon, you were giggling the whole time, Vince was.

00:01:21
Speaker 3: It's really cool that it came on, though I don't think many coaches would do that, from like your biggest rival.

00:01:25
Speaker 5: I don't either, and I you know a couple most of you have said it was good. Some people complaining. I would say, oh, come on, complaining about what can you get over it? Like I, it's funny, it is, and like you know, Vince's I appreciate him doing it. And by the way, I have asked to have the UK staff on. My hope was to over the course of the next couple months introduced all the staff to the team I do or to the fans. I do hope that'll happen, but as of yet they've said no, there's nothing you can do about it. I would argue that it is much much better to do this and to introduce people than not, but everybody's got a different perspective on that. But I actually Uh. Plus, I like giving him a hard time, and when we called it randomly, so I thought it was great.

00:02:13
Speaker 6: Just cold called him an answer well, like some prestures, so nervous the whole time. Ron just happy to get the heat off of him. This ship's true.

00:02:20
Speaker 5: Now I need somebody who knows more about who's in these recruiting. He said they didn't lose anybody to Kentucky. I don't believe that's true. But I also didn't one. But I also don't want to, Like I didn't want to name individual players. I don't think it's fair to those players. So that's why it's kind of that's why I didn't didn't do it.

00:02:39
Speaker 2: If I was UK sitting there, i'd call you and have Pete knocked on right now, like almost, okay, we're gonna back up.

00:02:46
Speaker 5: That's what I would do too, And but I do think we will get them on eventually. But see, you never know what's gonna happen on this. That's why I love live radio. You don't know what the next thing is it's gonna happen.

00:02:58
Speaker 2: And it was good you would give him crap. He was giving your eye back to you a little bit.

00:03:01
Speaker 5: Uh, Joel and already has Kentucky ware in the bracketology.

00:03:05
Speaker 6: Uh he just put it out, I believe, and put back up some right, we were at ten, see if I'm not mistaken. But the bad part is we're down in the in the bubble section.

00:03:15
Speaker 5: We're one of the.

00:03:16
Speaker 6: Last four buys. But we're already we're bubble talking with the other teams.

00:03:21
Speaker 5: We should be bubble talking, to be honest with you, I mean, like our our resume is a bubble resume at this at this moment. All right, let's uh. I do this every year because it's always good to see how much we all know pop culture. The Golden Globes they were carved Sunday Sunday. I thought the woman, Nicky Glazier, I thought she was good on the monologue.

00:03:42
Speaker 4: She was enjoying it.

00:03:42
Speaker 5: I thought that was a big gift for her being a host. She did a good job. So I thought she did a really good job. They were funny. All right, I'm gonna give you the winners. Okay, Best Drama ham Nick.

00:03:51
Speaker 2: Never even heard of it, I have. That's the first time I'm hearing this.

00:03:54
Speaker 5: Ham Knit is a movie about uh did I don't know if you knew when Shakespeare wrote Hamling it he during the time he was writing it, his son died whose name was Hamnet, and in Gaelic, I guess Hamnet and Hamlet are kind of the same name. So it's about how the death of his son inspired Hamlet.

00:04:16
Speaker 4: And that was the winner.

00:04:16
Speaker 5: That was Best Drama, Best Comedy. One Battle after Another, which is not a comedy. I don't know how is that a comic? Not a comedy at all, not a comedy at all, in my opinion, best movie I've seen this year, maybe the best movie I've seen the last couple of years, but not a comedy.

00:04:32
Speaker 2: Never heard of it.

00:04:33
Speaker 5: It's Leonardo DiCaprio. You've seen the you've seen the ads for that. He's like, his daughter gets kidnapped and he like wants to go savor considerable movies.

00:04:42
Speaker 4: It's not funny.

00:04:43
Speaker 5: I don't know why. I don't. I don't know why that it's a comedy. I mean, it's got some funny line, but it's not a comedy. But anyway, it won Best Animated Motion Picture. Did you see K Pop Demon Hunters?

00:04:58
Speaker 2: I didn't, but it sounds wonderful.

00:05:00
Speaker 4: No, it's big, it's huge, it's huge. It's like the biggest thing. Did you not know that?

00:05:05
Speaker 7: No?

00:05:05
Speaker 2: I did not.

00:05:06
Speaker 5: It was like half of the Halloween costumes in my room.

00:05:08
Speaker 4: Everybody was a K pop. You don't keep up with anything.

00:05:12
Speaker 7: No.

00:05:13
Speaker 5: Best cinematic achievement, this is the new one. And they're given for like blockbusters, and it was Sinners. Did you ever see that? Didn't see it? It's good? Did you did? None of you see it? I've seen like one movie in three any of these movies. Sinners is really really, really good. You ought to see it. And then let's go do you want to go to the television part? Uh, let's see. Best TV drama was The Pit? Okay, I'm watching The Pit started just season two just started. I feel like you would like that. Max. It's about a pit. No, it's it's it's about an emergency room in Pittsburgh. Okay with Noah for me?

00:05:51
Speaker 2: Are as the least I've seen that that advertised.

00:05:54
Speaker 5: Okay, Best comedy The Studio, which is on Apple TV's I've seen that. I thought it was hilarios. Seth Rogen is in it.

00:06:04
Speaker 2: Another strikeout for me.

00:06:06
Speaker 5: It's good. I'm going to read you the comedies in Druma have you even heard of these shows?

00:06:10
Speaker 8: Okay, the Diplomat, No, the Pit. You had heard of Pluribus no Severance. Yes, I've heard of that, but I've not seen it. Slow Horses, No, White Lotus. You've heard Apple TV on the Abbit Elementary.

00:06:26
Speaker 2: I've heard of that.

00:06:27
Speaker 5: The Bear.

00:06:29
Speaker 2: Bear's a comedy.

00:06:30
Speaker 5: I don't think so, but it's nominated.

00:06:32
Speaker 7: Yeah.

00:06:32
Speaker 2: I like the Bear, but it's not a comedy.

00:06:34
Speaker 5: Hacks. No, nobody wants this. No, only murders in the building. Heard that.

00:06:40
Speaker 2: That's Steve Martin right in the studio.

00:06:42
Speaker 5: Yeah, so you're not big on any of us.

00:06:44
Speaker 2: No, I've seen The Bear is the only one I've seen.

00:06:46
Speaker 5: All right, and then finally the best anthology series. How many of these have you heard of? Adolescents? Which one? No, that's on Netflix. That's a big one. It's about the guy, thirteen year old boy that kills like a classmate.

00:06:58
Speaker 2: Well, it sounds wonderful, but a family moment.

00:07:03
Speaker 5: I don't think it's a family show. All Her Fault Nope, The Beast in Me nope, Black Mirror Nope. On Dying for Sex No, the girlfriend.

00:07:15
Speaker 2: No, none of them.

00:07:18
Speaker 4: What do you do all day?

00:07:19
Speaker 2: I don't want to sit around watch TV.

00:07:22
Speaker 4: I don't believe that.

00:07:22
Speaker 5: What do you do at night?

00:07:23
Speaker 8: Last night we watched the Texans heard that he just started it with, we watched You watch TV every night?

00:07:30
Speaker 2: Games?

00:07:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, there are games on every night.

00:07:32
Speaker 4: But what do you do in like April, May, June, July? What do you watch them?

00:07:37
Speaker 9: So?

00:07:37
Speaker 4: Do you watch sports? Like every single night?

00:07:40
Speaker 2: I watch it ahead of something else. I did watch Stranger Things. I'm down in the last episode.

00:07:45
Speaker 5: Okay, just tip on that trend. Yeah, all right. I do have a show that I enjoy. I think you would like. Okay, it's called Traders. All right. It's like a reality show where you're just supposed to pick out the trader.

00:08:00
Speaker 4: I think you would like it. I think it's really good.

00:08:04
Speaker 5: You're you're good when you're It's like Survivor, but it's in a castle and they vote people off and they I think you would like Could you watch the Mole back in the day where they're trying to find the mole? The Trader?

00:08:16
Speaker 2: You're good about When you refer a show to me, say you'll like this, like the James Garfield Show. You know there's did you enjoy that? I really like that that. I mean you'll like Traders.

00:08:25
Speaker 5: I think it's the kind of it's just campy enough and you could figure out, like what would I do if I was Ryan Lemon on there? Okay, Traders, there's a new season starting now. I'm still on the first one. I'm just picking it up. But I think you platforms it on Peacock. Donna Kelsey's on the new one spoiler alert, and they're excited to see that.

00:08:44
Speaker 2: Who's Donna Kelsey?

00:08:46
Speaker 4: We gotta get you up on Kelsey's mom.

00:08:48
Speaker 2: Okay, she's on the show.

00:08:50
Speaker 5: Yeah, they get celebrities. A lot of celebrities, got celebrities. I just think you would like it, you know. I just feel like it's the kind of thing you would eny.

00:08:58
Speaker 2: You've been good at it when you refer show to me that, I.

00:09:00
Speaker 5: Like, Yeah, success, keeping up with all the trends. I don't believe you just watched sports? Does yoga? Gal just watch sports?

00:09:08
Speaker 7: Does?

00:09:08
Speaker 10: Yeah?

00:09:08
Speaker 5: No, she watches like you want to have a TV. There's no way she sits and watches you watch basketball every night?

00:09:15
Speaker 2: She would prefer to watch it more than me.

00:09:17
Speaker 5: Sometimes. Interesting.

00:09:19
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wouldn't have thought that. Andrew, go ahead, Andrew.

00:09:23
Speaker 11: Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call. So two things, one about basketball, one about football. The one about basketball is I kind of saw the Jalen Lowe surgery coming, I said something to the text machine after the Saint John's game. Uh, but I was an assistant to my high school's athletic trainer my senior year of high school after I got my EMT license, and one of our seniors sustained a similar injury where his shoulder popped out of socket. And this this one was worse than Jalen Lowe's.

00:10:02
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I think everybody thought this was a possibility.

00:10:05
Speaker 5: I mean, I know you. I'm sure you said there were a lot of people that thought it would happen. He just wanted to try to play through it. I think after the third time he heard it, he felt like he had to have the surgery.

00:10:18
Speaker 11: Well, what I was gonna say is I think if he just took a few games off, you know, despite everybody not wanting him to, I think he would have not needed the surgery. Because because the guy that I'm talking about, he delayed his rest, surgery kept getting delayed, and even his baseball season after the football season ended. He got injured in our exhibition games.

00:10:40
Speaker 5: But everything I've heard and I appreciate the call, is he was going to have to have the surgery anyway, and you know the fact that he played what five or six games and got hurt three times suggests to me it was going to keep happening, and if he played one more game he would he lose his red shirt. So Ryan, I think it makes complete sense he would do it.

00:11:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, like we said earlier, man a tough kid to play through that, knowing surgery was coming, and still tried to tough it out and give us as much minutes as he could. But now's the time. I mean, it happened again, and you play one more game, you lose your or usually year of availibility to get it done. For the kid, well missing, but you got to get it done.

00:11:20
Speaker 6: And nobody likes to look at it this way. But that's probably not a guy we're gonna be watching the NBA and if he can double dip ONNL to we got a look out for his his own situation.

00:11:29
Speaker 5: It's an important part too, this is he's probably not an NBA player, So if he gets two more years of college, I can understand why he would be more money than he'll ever make.

00:11:38
Speaker 4: Isaac go ahead, Isaac.

00:11:41
Speaker 12: Hey, guys. So, I know with all the news around Jalen Low, it's a sad time around the basket, But I feel like we have success when we run our offense through the four like Pope has done and passed or through a big man. So I was curious for you all if you could bring back a four from recent years or just any past team would you bring back to run this offense and save our season?

00:12:04
Speaker 5: Mariy Williams?

00:12:06
Speaker 9: Uh?

00:12:06
Speaker 5: But if if I don't get a Mariy Williams, I appreciate the call. Who is a four that could step out and shoot but also could kind of pass? Who's our best passing big that we've had besides Mary Williams.

00:12:19
Speaker 2: Well, I was gonna say Patrick Patterson.

00:12:22
Speaker 4: That's a good one.

00:12:24
Speaker 5: Good Actually, Patrick Patterson would be great under Pope's offense.

00:12:27
Speaker 6: I like that call, and he added the corner three in the NBA. But if we could include the corner three that he got so good at it, he'd be perfect.

00:12:33
Speaker 5: I think that's a great pick. Patrick Patterson's really good. He would be perfect in this office. Yeah. If I'm nine, two eighth twenty two eighty seven. I was gonna go to Amy, but Amy's not there, so let's go to Dennis.

00:12:45
Speaker 9: Go ahead, Dennis, do some great Red.

00:12:52
Speaker 13: Will Stein, is that the receiver positions waning?

00:12:56
Speaker 5: Yes?

00:12:57
Speaker 4: So has that kid committed yet to Colorado?

00:13:01
Speaker 5: It was rpming that way the muss if he's actually yeah, so I from what I understand, and I appreciate the call. They were still trying to get the more kid from Texas. Did he come in a lot of picks for that? But I don't think it's an official yet. And basically yesterday he told UK I still need more time, and I think they kind of decided to do what they did with Sam Levitt, where they said, look, if you decided you want to come, let us know, but we got to look at other options. And I'm told they have one sort of elite option, but they don't want to release the name because they don't want other schools to know who they're looking at. And then they've added remember they got the kid from LSU that that that that came over, and I think they're going to add a few more others. But I think it's fair to say they don't have that elite wide receiver. Yet, I think that's a fair fair thing to note.

00:13:54
Speaker 2: And what the cam millon was Cam Miller the want to resigned. They lost one Miller, but they got the DJ. It kept DJ lost.

00:14:01
Speaker 5: Camore went to Baylor, cam went to Old Miss, so he kept DJ and then they've brought in three or four other guys. Did you see the ad this morning? Ryan?

00:14:12
Speaker 6: You know him? He's coming home. He's a depth piece. But that's a lectioning kid that UK didn't consider.

00:14:18
Speaker 5: Uh see before Louisville. Yeah, just one year at Louisville.

00:14:22
Speaker 6: But he comes from a Kentucky family, right. I know his dad didn't like seeing them have read for a year, but he committed this morning. He's more of a depth piece, not by any means more or something like that, but they need that.

00:14:31
Speaker 5: In the receiver room.

00:14:33
Speaker 2: You haven't played at Sair, won the state title at Sarah, kind of had a great state championship game. Spent last year at Louisville and got on the field. So he got on the field against us, like we've running a punt one time. So kid can play. So that's a good little.

00:14:45
Speaker 6: It's Sayer, but he had video game numbers at Sayer. His senior year to one of the top kids in state.

00:14:49
Speaker 5: What about Eric Daniels.

00:14:51
Speaker 2: That's a good one.

00:14:52
Speaker 5: Not a great shooter, but in terms of the passer and great passer, kind of the way that Amari played, I.

00:14:58
Speaker 6: Would take Trick Patterson actually came to mind too, you've not didn't say it, but right behind that, I had Terrence Jones. Not a great shooter, but I would love to have him on this team.

00:15:08
Speaker 5: No, Terrence Jones would well, I mean Terrence Jones would be great. I don't know, do you. I don't consider Terrence a great passer, but but he could go get a bucket. Oh, without question. Afi, I'm nine two eighth twenty two eighty seven. It's a new year, but you have the same house and that's the problem. So call State Renovations. They do it differently, a real designer who pick everything out and a project manager who keeps the whole thing moving. And if you mentioned KSR, half off your design agreement. If State Renovations has a big contest coming up soon with KSR, so stay tuned, but remember a State renos dot com slash KSR A State Renovations will take a break. Be right back to Kentucky Sports Radio. Good lucky, you know T Jones, We'll teach you about Kentucky. I love it. It's great song. It's not good Shannon's favorite song. National play. We were using this on a segment on ESPN Radio recently. Yeah, when I would do facts about Kentucky, they would play this as the intro, and they had a little thing where it goes to real m Jones about to teach you about Kentucky.

00:16:17
Speaker 3: Ago, this thing's got legs. It's still crawling.

00:16:19
Speaker 4: It's still crawling. Hat it, but it stood the tested.

00:16:23
Speaker 5: That's true. That's true.

00:16:25
Speaker 14: Uh.

00:16:25
Speaker 5: Derek Willis, I like that one as a four that would do great under he would be Derek Willis would be a great player from Mark.

00:16:32
Speaker 8: Pope definitely fits in that stretch for sitting in the corner all day and just bombing all but also athletic. Yeah, Derek was a lot more athletic than he got credit for.

00:16:42
Speaker 5: I also thought of him.

00:16:43
Speaker 6: And one that probably doesn't come to everyone's mind, but winning Gabriel didn't he hit like seven threes in a game.

00:16:48
Speaker 5: Yeah, they did most of them from the corner. You go in there and rebound a little bit.

00:16:52
Speaker 2: I felt like Andrew carp he hadn't got hurt last year. Could have been that guy.

00:16:56
Speaker 5: No, he well he was for a little I think you look, we were kinda we were better depending on how he did it. Now, Uh, Josh Pate that's his name, right, he has he has a show. I remember Max really liked it. Pate State or whatever he put out. Will Stein is gonna be is gonna have Kentucky in the playoff in the next two years, isn't he? That's good?

00:17:22
Speaker 4: WHOA, that's very good praise.

00:17:25
Speaker 5: I said, he's a big voice on the national He's become he keeps growing in a voice. Uh, but how about this one? So somebody named SEC Mike. I think that dude like loves to kind of troll Kentucky. Uh, we've met a few. Ton Raush goes on a show. They're they're all SEC. They have a Tennessee lean. Especially he's got a guy that he's a Tennessee guy. So he ranked the SEC head coaches in football. He has will Stein last sixteenth out of sixteen. Now that's one thing. So he puts out this tweet and guess who retweeted it just minutes ago.

00:18:05
Speaker 2: Vince Mayor I was gonna say that that.

00:18:08
Speaker 5: There's nothing to do with you, my goodness. Well, even when he did his Hello niggarause Street tweet, it was a reply to something that had nothing to do with the game, Like he sought out Nick and just typed it. Yeah, I think that's gonna there's gotta be real bad blood there. Like it's not like he was joking with us, but it's clear there's real bad blood between that.

00:18:30
Speaker 2: I believe Vince when he says the old staff he was still very close with him and will always be close with him, but like this new staff. He admitted he didn't even know will Snein. He didn't know these guys, so he gonna come after us.

00:18:39
Speaker 5: Yes, Uh, guess how much shitnon it costs to park at the National Title Game? Oh god, this is in the official parking lot. Yeah, at Miami's hard Rock Stadium. Bucks, I've already told these guys. What if I told you that right now, parking path in the hard Rock Stadium is seven one hundred and forty seven.

00:19:01
Speaker 3: I would say I'll watch it at home, No thanks, I'll uber there.

00:19:05
Speaker 5: I have to down the road at private establishments that have parking, they are selling their parking for two hundred dollars.

00:19:16
Speaker 2: Two hundred dollars to park and then walk half a mile to get I don't care where it is.

00:19:20
Speaker 3: It better be the gates of Heaven and I'm parking my car in front of for something.

00:19:25
Speaker 5: Would you do, though, like let's say your team was playing in it and the parking was like that, and let's just say you couldn't take an uber, would you just walk from as far as you could?

00:19:34
Speaker 4: Would you take a bus like it's within.

00:19:35
Speaker 3: If it's within fifty miles, I can do it. Anything outside of that I could.

00:19:40
Speaker 4: But yeah, seven hundred and forty seven dollars.

00:19:42
Speaker 2: You know, if it's Kentucky and we're all in a big Pomula Ford Bronco, we're all chipping fifty bucks.

00:19:49
Speaker 5: We're still not getting to seven hundred and forty. Let's see, we're gonna need to have fifteen people in the car.

00:19:57
Speaker 2: Everybody's got a hundred bucks, one hundred bucks apiece for each of us.

00:20:02
Speaker 4: Well, we still do schast.

00:20:05
Speaker 5: We got yeah, we got six that we would got two people on the street, we would do it. I would not do it, just on principle I'm not paying I don't like paying the thirty dollars a day at the airport in Cincinnati.

00:20:19
Speaker 3: Dude in Bill Colorado, and we paid for that parking garage that was free.

00:20:24
Speaker 5: The next one. I'm still mad at Drew that I'm still mad that was like fifty dollars to park in veil and then right next door, the one right next door was free. Drew was like, trust me, this is the one right here. It's like fifty dollars. You sure this is the one. Oh god, it's up free. We're supposed to go right. We went left to drop the ball there.

00:20:41
Speaker 4: Yeah, sure, Kentucky gas man, go ahead.

00:20:46
Speaker 13: Hey guys, what's going on?

00:20:48
Speaker 5: What's up?

00:20:49
Speaker 13: So well, tell my you know, to see it as a ask anything today. I had an idea for a couple of segments or a whole show whatever.

00:20:58
Speaker 5: You think.

00:21:00
Speaker 13: Some of my favorite shows y'all have done is like when you do role playing. I just think it's hilarious when you all do that. So, you know, in the spirit of talk about recruiting, like we have been everything, we got so many great recruiters in big blue nations. You know, the hard time that they give them march stops over time or you know the hard time they've been given to Mark Pope. So I would like to hear like people call in and give their recruitment speech to you.

Just what would be your recruiting pitch to a kid to pick Kentucky. Let's say over Duke and North Carolina. So we're doing basketball basketball.

00:21:59

00:22:11

Speaker 2: That those days are over. Those days are over, and we're coming and we need you to be a part of it.

00:22:21

Speaker 5: I'm under twenty one, I'm seventeen. We have the Christmas lights at the horse. No, I don't Christmas lights at the horse.

00:23:00
Speaker 3: I have to say it, but I think I got to go to Duke after this.

00:23:02
Speaker 5: Yeah, then we just lost a player. I think you literally, I think you literally have turned him in to a blue down. Obviously I didn't do a very good job.

00:23:14
Speaker 4: But I've heard.

00:23:15
Speaker 5: Vince's speech, But that's football.

00:23:17
Speaker 2: Vince is the best at that.

00:23:20
Speaker 5: What are you talking about? Peak Knock is the best team eight I'm twenty two eighty seven beyond you. We can't put you in charge. No, we'll be right back. TJ. Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ. He'll make them pay.

00:23:34
Speaker 3: Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.

00:23:38
Speaker 4: Welcome back Tukey Sports Radio.

00:23:40
Speaker 5: If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven, text machine seven seven two seven seven four five two five four one person rights, Matt. You guys are getting blasted by people on Twitter for having Vince on Care to Combat. Uh yeah, then they're wrong. I mean they don't understand the point radio. Point radio is to entertain. That was entertaining. Probably most of the people complaining didn't even listen to it. They're just people on the internet. There's this subsection of people on the internet who love to complain about KSR, who do not listen to the show, which took me a while to learn. But if you're complaining about a show you don't listen to like it happened a lot during the cal Perier people be like, all you do is blast Caliperio, I go do you listen to show?

00:24:23
Speaker 11: No?

00:24:25
Speaker 5: Well, then how do you know i'd like Ryan reviewing the Golden Globes. You didn't Yeah, yeah, hey Ryan, how good is Hamnett? Don't know? You didn't see it? Did a breakfast food it is? You get it at waffle house.

00:24:39
Speaker 3: The other thing about this is too Vince is still our friend. You can still have a friend that goes to a row.

00:24:44
Speaker 5: Every single person listening, I mean, has a friend who is like a Louisville fan or a Tennessee fan, like everybody, and then they get mad if you do, like Paring gets that all the time from Louisville people. How can you be friends with Matt Jones And he's like, there's literally a Kentucky fan sitting next to you, Like you're literally you're married to a Kentucky thing, you know. But it's because they don't see people in the public eye as real human beings, so you know. I but of course, with that said, though, I brought it, brought it by because I thought it would be funny, and it was funny, and I like listen. It was interesting hearing him kind of on the receiving end of trash talk because he's not used to it, because he's always the one that gives uh, huh.

00:25:32
Speaker 2: You know if you didn't hear that part and you think we just had a britt Vince on the bragun him and praising me.

00:25:37
Speaker 5: One of the things That's taken me a long time to learn since I've been doing this is that people in the public eye are human beings.

00:25:43
Speaker 4: Let me give you an example. You know who has been.

00:25:48
Speaker 5: Who has asked me about how my dad is doing more than any person, literally any person on earth, is that Tom Crean. Tom Tom Crean texts me every few days and ask me how Larry is doing, or sends a Bible verse, or sends like it's one of the kindest things I've ever seen. I barely know him. I've done two ESPN bracket shows with him. I'll probably do another this year, but otherwise I don't really know him. And yet and he doesn't just ask him how's he doing? He then like follows up and talks Tom Crean. I'm just saying, like, I would have never thought that about Tom Crean. I didn't think he was a bad guy. I just didn't really know him, and he did as crappy as Dan Dockitch can be publicly sent me an amazingly nice note.

00:26:48
Speaker 4: That's awesome, Like you like, these people.

00:26:51
Speaker 5: Are actual human beings, and I think sometimes it's easy to forget that.

00:26:57
Speaker 2: It's very easy to forget that, and you've done learn.

00:27:00
Speaker 5: Evince is the same way if you saw him out in public. By the way, I there's a there's a writer I really like. His name is George Saunders. He's one of my favorite authors. He's got a new book coming out in a couple weeks. He did a podcast. I listened to it, and when he was talking Ryan, he sounded like something I would say. He goes, you know, over the years, I've gotten like these angry emails, and he goes, I have this weird habit where, for whatever reason, those are the people I write back. And I was like, Shannon, I know that.

00:27:26
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, I'm like you too.

00:27:28
Speaker 5: And he said, but I've learned almost unfailingly, if I write someone back and say hey, man, why'd you say that? Not being arguing, just like why'd you say that, they inevitably apologize or say, hey, you know, I didn't mean. I'm having a bad day. It's like it's like somebody told me years ago, if you're mean on the internet, chances are things aren't going well for you, like you you were telling me today. Tell everybody what you told me this morning about about your your your future child. You said something happened last night that hadn't happened before. Oh it feels unrearly to this, but I'm saying this. I'm at a point where I can like feel a baby like that was talking about, like the kicking, and like I can, you know, actually feel that there's a real baby in my wife's stomach. But you looked it was so cool to see you this morning. I've never had a baby, but you came in like beaming about the fact that for the first time you felt like your baby.

00:28:26
Speaker 9: This is.

00:28:28
Speaker 5: Doing shots in the bar and yeah, I was shopping for strollers in Miami last week and you Miami.

00:28:36
Speaker 15: Dad.

00:28:37
Speaker 5: I just like, it's your person, and I think sometimes people forget that. So Vince is a person and I actually still find him entertaining even when he does dumb things.

00:28:45
Speaker 2: Well, you've become really good at that. When people will say something kind of mean and hateful personal you just.

00:28:50
Speaker 4: There's never a private mess.

00:28:53
Speaker 5: Like when I watched people be I'm not going to mention people in politics, but the meaner somebody is in politics, the more I'm sure they're having a they're miserable and their personal yeah, right, because why would you be mean if otherwise?

00:29:06
Speaker 6: And that's their escape because there's not really consequences, Like there's no common.

00:29:13
Speaker 2: On the internet, right, And that's why I think it's cool you do it in a private message. You don't do it retweet them or something.

00:29:18
Speaker 5: But that I went out Friday night in Louisville, Shannon, the entire U of l Athletic Department, what's where we are? And almost all of them came by privately. Was like, you do kind of entertain.

00:29:32
Speaker 3: Well, that's the difference between reality and social media. Social media is not reality.

00:29:36
Speaker 5: It's just not Tim Go ahead, Tim, hey mat trying to change the subject a little bit, go for it.

00:29:44
Speaker 14: A couple A couple of things about Madisonville. I don't have a new stamp about Muhammad Ali coming out stamp yes, and uh uh, Muhammad Ali's mom is from Madisonville.

00:29:57
Speaker 5: Oh really, okay, no idea.

00:30:00
Speaker 14: And this is for Drew. I don't know a part of Hunts County Drew grew up in. I grew up like the likes live down in that way. Okay, Well, I grew up Brentwood, if I tell you, but big money. But we had we had a big man legend down there towards the south in the county. I don't know if you ever heard of it.

00:30:25
Speaker 5: What do you mean, what do you mean a pig.

00:30:28
Speaker 14: Man, A big man. I'm never actually seeing him.

00:30:35
Speaker 13: Man.

00:30:35
Speaker 4: If there's a man who looks like a pig.

00:30:39
Speaker 14: Yeah, well, yes, yes, he grew up with coal mines or something. Back towards White City, down towards the truck stop. I don't know, Drew, you know what I'm talking about.

00:30:48
Speaker 4: This is a real person. What do you mean by pig man.

00:30:52
Speaker 5: Pig man?

00:30:52
Speaker 14: Well, he's just like a big foot. But he's going to Arlington. When I was a kid one time and so you ran.

00:31:01
Speaker 4: A pig man, you ran into a pig man.

00:31:05
Speaker 14: I'm not personally myself. It was just a llegend, a pig man. But we were driving your early to coming back to the bootleggers and there's a police call and and someone had turned over a bolkswagon. And I asked my mom what happened? She said, pig man did it all right?

00:31:21
Speaker 5: Well, I appreciate the call. Who knew who knew that they were pig men. Explains a lot though about you. It does. I had to google. I had no idea Muhammad all these moments from Madisonville.

00:31:34
Speaker 4: Had never heard that one Madisonville. We should probably promote.

00:31:37
Speaker 5: That a little bit. Pig man not so much. But those were two interesting facts. That is interesting. Mike, go ahead, Mike, got there you.

00:31:46
Speaker 9: All to day. I just wanted to. I had two pulling some one. I think y'all forgot the perfect one. Ain't no big deal. But I just thought Carle Wilter, it would be the perfect forward, would be good.

00:32:00
Speaker 5: He'd be good. No, he would be good under pope. I think you're right. That's a good call too.

00:32:05
Speaker 9: But I thought that theother thing. I thought it was no coincidence that Aberdeen had his best game as a wildcat with mode about tel a Tway thirteen minutes.

00:32:15
Speaker 5: Not totally agree with knocking Moe.

00:32:17
Speaker 9: I'm not knocking. Oh, he just doesn't really fit this. And congratulations Drew. And I'm telling you he's going to have a lot of a lot of moments. My daughter's not saying now. And that first time when you're in that room when they hand her to you. Even a big man will cry promise you that's awesome.

00:32:33
Speaker 5: I'm ready for it. Totally agree with you about about MO. I think Aberdeen, maybe more than any other player, will be helped Ryan by the ability to get lanes to the basket, so he's not just out there trying to beat people off the dribble.

00:32:47
Speaker 2: I think Aberdeen's been playing better, shooting the ball better because he's been off the ball. Now I got to put him back at the point. I worry about that because when he's been to the point, he's not been the graben good.

00:32:56
Speaker 5: Yeah. I don't know.

00:32:57
Speaker 4: You may end up with a situation where like always bringing it up.

00:33:00
Speaker 5: Yeah you may.

00:33:01
Speaker 4: I mean you may have to because you gotta get ball of the court.

00:33:03
Speaker 6: On Saturday, in the first half, Aberdeen airballed another three and I couldn't believe it. But to his credit, I think in the second half he went at least two for two, maybe three for three. But that airball, it's got to be a record for a single player in a year.

00:33:15
Speaker 5: A big news for the listeners in the Buckeye State cornbread hemp is now available at fresh time. That means you can get Kentucky's finest infused wellness products, the seltzers that offer relaxation, the sleep gummies that support deep relaxation, and more. It is cornbread Hemp.

Barry backs Kizar, Welcome back Tekee Sports Radio A five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. The text machine is seven seven two seven seven four five two five four. Good day on the text machine. A lot of good comments have come in. One person writes, Matt, you were talking about the Golden globes.

00:33:57
Speaker 15: Uh.

00:33:57
Speaker 5: Nicky Glazer said that Leonardo dicaprioh was very famous, but people didn't know anything about him. Who do you think is the most famous person in America that people don't know much about? Yeah? She was saying, the only thing we ever know about him, Shannon is Eddie dates like twenty two year old, right, which is kind of true. Though about Leonardo DiCaprio, He's very famous, but tell me something about his personality, like, besides him dating models, do we know anything about him? Really?

00:34:28
Speaker 7: Yeah?

00:34:28
Speaker 2: Because he doesn't go on like talk shows, and yeah, I mean we.

00:34:31
Speaker 4: Don't know what he's like as a person or even what he thinks.

00:34:34
Speaker 6: The only thing I see on like social media is he's got a black hat pulled over his eyes, like hiding from So that's a.

00:34:40
Speaker 4: Good question, so use him as the base.

00:34:42
Speaker 5: Is there anyone more famous than him, Shannon that we don't know anything about because most famous people now that are like overexposed and you know everything about him.

00:34:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm sure there's somebody we sit here and thought long enough, but we don't have time to do that.

00:34:53
Speaker 5: I can think of one that, like, I can't think I don't really know much about Eddie Murphy, you know what I mean? Yeah, Like I feel like he's very very famous, but like he never you never seen any a podcast interviews.

00:35:11
Speaker 4: He just occasionally shows up and does a movie.

00:35:14
Speaker 2: Because most of these celebrities, they want to go on these talk shows to kind of expose there.

00:35:19
Speaker 5: Who else you know, I got to promote stuff? Like anybody else you can think of that like is really famous, but you just don't.

00:35:24
Speaker 2: Know Shannon the dude.

00:35:27
Speaker 4: Well no, I mean for people on the show.

00:35:29
Speaker 5: He's the one that people know the league, But I mean he's not quite as famously Leonardo much. I don't know.

00:35:36
Speaker 4: I just think that's an interesting thing.

00:35:38
Speaker 5: Like who I feel like you know something about almost everyone, but he is. He is maybe the biggest movie star and I don't know anything about him except occasionally shows up on the yacht.

00:35:52
Speaker 6: Yeah.

00:35:53
Speaker 5: Just naturally to be a celebrity, you need to be in the conversation. So like so you almost have to be old because you almost have to become a celebrity before for you needed to be on social media and all that stuff.

00:36:02
Speaker 4: You almost have to be old for this.

00:36:04
Speaker 5: Yes, because younger people, I just don't think they grew up on social grew up with everything out there. So like musicians, Like what about musicians? Is there a music like like back in the day, Prince was mysterious.

00:36:19
Speaker 2: Very mysterious. Unless you're Myron, then you gonna go to his house for a party.

00:36:23
Speaker 5: Yes, Myron did do that. But besides Prince, I mean, they just aren't. I don't know.

00:36:28
Speaker 4: Maybe somebody will have a text, but it's a good question.

00:36:30
Speaker 2: It is a good question.

00:36:31
Speaker 5: Might be Leonardo DiCaprio, the most famous person we don't know anything about. Yeah, let's go to Peggy, how are.

00:36:37
Speaker 15: You, Peggy, Hey, good morning gus. A couple of things. Can you give us more updates on Larry? And I am kind of my I just because people are given Jalen Lowe down the road because he's havin surgery. Now, my concern is the kid's help, Yeah don't.

00:37:05
Speaker 5: I haven't really seen, Peggy people giving him the down the road. I think people for the most part kind of understand. I mean I didn't. I haven't seen a lot of criticism of him doing it.

00:37:16
Speaker 12: Well.

00:37:17
Speaker 15: On social media, there's people giving him down the road. But my concern is the kid's help.

00:37:24
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, on social media, I think anybody can get criticized.

00:37:28
Speaker 4: I agree.

00:37:28
Speaker 5: I think it makes for me, it makes perfect sense. And I agree his health is the most important thing. And as far as Larry, he's doing okay. I'm just because I think, you know, he's he's kind of a private person. I'm not like giving regular sort of updates just for his own privacy, but but I do he is doing He's doing okay, And I appreciate you asking, so thank you very much, Peggy. Jim prayers every day, all right, we appreciate Jim. Go ahead, Jim Hey, how are you doing?

00:37:58
Speaker 16: I was just wondering if as much sports as you guys watch and listen to, and especially Matt, now that you've started doing play by play and you've listened to a lot of play by play, if throughout your everyday lives, you have a voice in your head like calling what you're doing.

00:38:16
Speaker 5: No, not exactly, but you know, there's a quote that says everybody is the star of their own movie in their mind, and I think there is some truth in that. I appreciate the call. Like everybody kind of thinks. I think everybody thinks that like the world is following everything they do. Yeah, but really, people only care about what they're doing themselves, right, You know what I mean by that?

00:38:38
Speaker 6: You know, some people get in their own head. I actually remind myself nobody cares. No, every one has their own life that.

00:38:43
Speaker 5: They're living in. No one is thinking about whatever goof or whatever I've done, No one is thinking about it. Yeah. I think people sort of think that they are the centerpiece of other people's thoughts. I think social media makes you think that too, because people can comment on your day. But like in general, you could go through your days and probably you're not in anyone's mind, not for more than a few nights, for more than a few because they're all worried about them is what they're doing.

00:39:09
Speaker 4: They got thrown anxiety. What are people thinking about this?

00:39:14
Speaker 2: That's one reason I don't like Facebook, because they put all this long paragraph about something they feel about to say that it's important in their life.

00:39:23
Speaker 5: Are you are you? I can't remember you on Facebook?

00:39:26
Speaker 2: I'm on it.

00:39:27
Speaker 5: I don't think do you follow me? Are we friends? It took them a while to get on. It's only been a few years, right, Yeah, it's only been a few years.

00:39:34
Speaker 4: Mark, go ahead, Mark, Yes.

00:39:37
Speaker 17: Matt, I apologize. I didn't listen to the Mark Pope Show, and I didn't listen to you guys earlier today. But I want to make a comment about the defense uh change that I noticed, and it's probably been brought up. But the way we started against Missouri, how the how both Marino and and Garrett started trying to come out on the post player setting up at the top of the key to prevent the three uh. They did a very good job, I thought against the last team, who was did we.

00:40:13
Speaker 4: Played Missippy State? We finished Misssippi State.

00:40:15
Speaker 7: They did a great job. They did a great job, and I think it's a great thing to build on all the good teams out there, you see Connecticut, all of them, even I think think Johnson Patino used to do it. You take away the three and make them make a hard two.

00:40:30
Speaker 5: Totally agree. And that had not been our I appreciate call. That had not been the way we were playing, and now I think that needs to be. And you're right, they have done it more in the last two games. All right, it's DraftKings promo code KSR bet five win three hundred dollars on DraftKings. I guess I'll pick tonight Virginia and Louisville. Michel Brown out again. There's rumors online, by the way, not sure that he's gonna come back. We'll see. I have no knowledge, I have no idea, but those rumors exact. Louisville's a three and a half point favorite. Home.

00:41:03
Speaker 4: UGO comes back to Kentucky to play against Louisville.

00:41:06
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, that's right, Yes, forgot he was even playing for Virginia.

00:41:10
Speaker 5: Ugo versus Louisville. Louisville three and a half point favorite, What do you got?

00:41:13
Speaker 2: I still think louis is good even without mckill brown, and so at home, I would take Louisville.

00:41:18
Speaker 6: Virginia's only got like two losses this year and they have Ugo. So I'm absolutely taking the Cavaliers. Yere taking the Louisvill's without their best player. They're probably thirty four people there, maybe thirty five if the weather's good.

00:41:29
Speaker 5: Taking Virginia all right, Shandon.

00:41:31
Speaker 3: Nah, Yeah, Louisville win's at home. I think tonight give me the three and a half.

00:41:35
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna take Louisville to cover that three and a half. But you know this is a big point.

00:41:39
Speaker 3: Parents over here saying no, parent doesn't, don't real quick, parents? Are they gonna win or not Louisville tonight?

00:41:47
Speaker 10: Virginia's tough five in field goal percent is defense. Louisville is out without Ryan Conwell, and they're also without play point guard, and he's familiar. Those guys are familiar with him because he played with them last year. Does a lot of bad variables in this game.

00:42:02
Speaker 3: So who you got, Virginia.

00:42:05
Speaker 10: It's looking like you're right now. If I was a gambling man, but obviously I want my team to win. I'm gonna pick Louisville. But if I'm a gambling man, I'm taking Virginia in the points that I'm doing.

00:42:15
Speaker 3: It most inside, we're talking gambling, so you know, we are talking DraftKings.

00:42:20
Speaker 5: That's so, that's DraftKings. That's your parent Johnson DraftKings. Pick of the day. He says, take Louisville. But it sounded like you wanted to take you to spent money one right there. You took Virginia. I didn't know to win. Will was out? Okay? Interesting? Hey, thank you folks very much. Tomorrow, of course Cats play against l s U. We'll preview the game and a lot more trivia for me Thursday night. This has been KSR
