Speaker 5: It is Kentucky Sports Radio, Thursday, May the fourteenth. I'm Matt Jones here in Lexington, Kentucky, where it is another beautiful day, great spring, so far of weather, although I think it's supposed to get hot this weekend. You can give show Clark's Puppet Shop phone line A five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven a vision Auto glass text machine seven seven two seven seven four five two for in this distion sponsored by the TJ.

Speaker 4: Smith Office. You call TJ. He'll make them pay.

00:01:03
Speaker 5: Drew's here, Shannon is in Louisville trying to turn Shannon's spice level up. Today, he's been more people will keep writing me and saying you're you're full of spice, full of sauce?

00:01:16
Speaker 4: What's going on?

00:01:16
Speaker 3: I think it was spice. Today we were just talking about Quaintance and I was.

00:01:20
Speaker 4: Telling, what was your a Quaintans take?

00:01:21
Speaker 5: So for people don't know Jadan Quaintans did a thing where he said he only practiced once for the Saint John's game. I think he goes. He said something like, I wasn't allowed to do my own individual workouts. I had to do everything with the team, And he kind of insinuated that's why he stopped playing, because he wasn't able to do Jaden things.

00:01:41
Speaker 4: He had to do Kentucky things. And what was your hot take?

00:01:44
Speaker 2: I mean it wasn't a hot take.

00:01:46
Speaker 3: It was the same take that I would say ninety percent of our fan base has, is that why wouldn't he.

00:01:50
Speaker 4: Go on here, we go listen to it. I love it.

00:01:53
Speaker 3: Why couldn't he go out there and at least give it a try and play a couple of minutes and see how he felt that he has been swallowing the entire season. Now would get to the NBA Combine and all of a sudden, he's good to go. It's amazing how that works. Like nobody saw that coming, huh.

00:02:05
Speaker 2: I mean everybody knew this.

00:02:06
Speaker 3: Everybody knew this was what was going to happen. Everybody, we all called it, and now it's happening. And I'm just saying, I'm just calling it what it is. Nobody wants to say it out loud.

00:02:14
Speaker 2: I'll say it.

00:02:16
Speaker 4: Wow, that's all it is. That evil Shannon.

00:02:20
Speaker 2: No, that's the truth. That's the hard.

00:02:22
Speaker 4: Shannon, Shannon, the rude. I won't anybody nobody Do you agree with that with Shannon here?

00:02:30
Speaker 6: No?

00:02:30
Speaker 4: I think he's completely wrong. No, he's awaking. He's completely wrong.

00:02:34
Speaker 5: No you Okay, So your point, Shannon is because he had like a really good combine perform Yeah, And your point is like, if he could do that, he.

00:02:43
Speaker 3: Could go out there at least give it a try, Like, go out there and play a minute or two and if you hurt, if if you're not feeling well, take him out of the game.

00:02:49
Speaker 2: At least you tried it. At least you gave it an effort.

00:02:51
Speaker 3: But to sit on the bench and play.

00:02:56
Speaker 4: Okay, I mean, to be fair, you don't know if his need was sweating.

00:02:59
Speaker 3: Well okay, but that's a long long time swelling for a knee. But I mean, can you not go out out there and least try.

00:03:04
Speaker 5: That's interesting because my issue with his comments, to the extent I have them, were about sort of saying like, well, I was supposed to do my workouts, not the team's.

00:03:15
Speaker 2: Work Why can't you do the team's workouts?

00:03:17
Speaker 4: Well, that was kind of what I was wondering. Yeah, I'm not gonna like you.

00:03:23
Speaker 5: Know, it's tough because you got to put yourself also in the position of the dad. You have this son who gets one shot at it, but he also it's I do look at these things a little differently, like when you're paying these guys, because he is essentially a pro last year too.

00:03:40
Speaker 7: Yeah, and you know, he had the big Saint John's game, but then he gave it three more tries and didn't look that good.

00:03:45
Speaker 5: So if you ever forget that, yeah, they forget. He played a couple more games and actually did not.

00:03:50
Speaker 7: Look at I mean he I forgot the guy's name for Bellerman, but he was kind of locking him down. So I mean, we think of the Saint John's game and he didn't look great. I'm wishanding he probably could have given another go. But at the same time, I understand on his side and I don't love it, but this is just the world we're in where when you're projected where he is, if you go out and have three more bad games than what happens.

00:04:06
Speaker 4: And it was also a risk that Mark Pope took.

00:04:09
Speaker 5: I mean, when Mark Pope decided to sign him, you knew A he could get re injured or he might not play period, and b you knew he might do this, and you decided to do it anyway, so you know, I mean, you can get mad at the kid, but like you get a kid coming off an ACL tear who you know is going to the draft and is worried about getting hurt again. It's like it's like Chris Rock says about Siegfried and Roy, you can't be surprised that Tiger goes Tiger, right. I mean, when you when you do this, Shandon, like you kind of know this is a possibility.

00:04:44
Speaker 3: And my problem if he had gotten to the NBA combine and go my knee is swollen up, I can't do it. I would respect that because I would go, you know what, that's consistent with what we heard the entire season.

00:04:53
Speaker 2: But it's just.

00:04:54
Speaker 3: Amazing timing that the season's over and it's time for the NBA and now of the South, and he's good.

00:04:58
Speaker 2: That's all it.

00:04:59
Speaker 4: Could it be that by taking four months off?

00:05:01
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what it could have been, that him not playing for four months, maybe five months?

00:05:04
Speaker 2: Actually, yeah, could that be it? It could be if you want to believe I just.

00:05:09
Speaker 5: Like I'm just talking a little bit now, and Billy said, Billy said that the whole text machine was for Billy, And you're saying ninety percent of the fans are with you.

00:05:20
Speaker 4: Who am I to believe me?

00:05:21
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what.

00:05:22
Speaker 3: Open up your own text line.

00:05:25
Speaker 5: Okay, well we'll see. I'll open up my own text line. I'll be neutral.

00:05:28
Speaker 4: Seven seven two seven seven four five two five four.

00:05:31
Speaker 5: Do you agree with Shannon that, uh, you know, Shannon's kind of anti acquaintance take or do you agree with Billy sort of pro player.

00:05:41
Speaker 4: We'll see who's right, Billy or Shannon.

00:05:43
Speaker 5: And I'll be objective because you too, I think we're both line about the uh about what was what first two texts. I see, great job, Billy. I agree with Shannon. So we'll see right now, right now, it's fifty to fifty eight. I'm nine eight twenty two eighty seven.

00:05:59
Speaker 4: One of the I.

00:06:00
Speaker 5: Would like to do is I am Shannon. There. We got two people on here without them, so linees two, three, four and five. I'm not going to the Reds game today. It's at twelve forty, so you can open it up if somebody will. If you want to use the tickets, my tickets for the Reds game, call in Shannon, you pick which one of the people that calls gets it. You could use whatever criteria you want, Okay. I just want to make sure the tickets get used. So if the game's at twelve forty, though, but they're right behind home plate, you know, and they're great seats.

00:06:32
Speaker 4: The team stinks.

00:06:34
Speaker 5: But if you want to call eight five, nine, two eighth twenty two eighty seven, I will give them to someone and I'll let Shannon choose.

00:06:40
Speaker 2: Just get me an email, trick, call it, tell me why I'm right.

00:06:43
Speaker 5: No, no, no, this is not about well, we'll get to Shannon's being angry about Jay, but just see. Oh well that maybe maybe that's a secret of how you get the ticket. Just tell them that's right. Did you, by the way, did you see the game last night?

00:06:58
Speaker 8: Yeah?

00:06:58
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, who ever goes today we should take baseball gloves.

00:07:00
Speaker 5: Okay, actually, before you start answering these phones, I do want your take on this.

00:07:06
Speaker 4: Did you see how the Reds lost last night? Yes?

00:07:12
Speaker 5: Okay, so this dude. First of all, so let me give it a secret. We were up five to zero in the first inning. Nationals come back. We should have scored in the seventh, should have scored in the eighth, should have scored in the ninth, didn't get to the tenth. Nationals score two. We got a runner on steer hits a ball.

00:07:29
Speaker 4: That all right?

00:07:30
Speaker 5: So what's the rule about the yellow line at the top. If you hit the yellow line, is that a home run? Or does that have to be over the yellow line? What's the rule?

00:07:39
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I think, without looking it up, if it hits that line, it's a home run.

00:07:43
Speaker 2: I think so.

00:07:44
Speaker 5: So I think it was gonna hit that line. I don't think it was gonna go over the fence, but I think it was gonna hit the line. So point bean, if goober mcgoob face does not reach over the wall, I do think they probably get the game tying home run.

00:07:57
Speaker 2: Okay.

00:07:58
Speaker 3: Here it is generally if a ball hits the top, yell a line out football inferritory territory, it's considered a home run.

00:08:04
Speaker 5: Okay, So it's a home run if it hits it. I think it was going to hit it. I don't think it was gonna go over the fence, but I think it was going to hit it. This dude and the poor dude, he couldn't have looked more like a schlub. And I don't say that to be mean. He might even listen to this show. But he's wearing a soccer jersey, and he is a grown man, and he's brought a.

00:08:23
Speaker 4: Glove thing a thing. Don't take a glove. You can't take a glove if you're a grown man. If you're a kid, it's okay, but you can't take a glove as a grown man. I understand.

00:08:32
Speaker 7: If you're wearing a glove and a ball's coming at you, your brain, your instinct is probably reaching catch. And it was a heck of a catch, which is why you shouldn't take a glove.

00:08:41
Speaker 5: I mean it was to be fair. He was key Brian from the field. It was a heck of a catch.

00:08:46
Speaker 7: You never you know, who's never interfered on a ball like that. Someone holding a book, Yes, if.

00:08:51
Speaker 5: He had a bare hand, he's not catching that, or book could be reading the New York exactly. I don't catch the entire game, right, He goes and he catches it. Being a ground rule double, of course we stink, so we end up not getting the run in.

00:09:04
Speaker 4: And then he.

00:09:05
Speaker 5: Stands there and of course they keep showing him on the screen and he's like. At first he's like he literally points the Screenshain and goes, look, I'm on the screen, TV.

00:09:15
Speaker 4: I'm on the screen. But yeah, buddy, you don't want to be.

00:09:17
Speaker 5: On the screen right now. If it was me, I had a run out of it.

00:09:24
Speaker 2: Did he get.

00:09:26
Speaker 5: No, I'd have left like I would have been like, don't put me. He was like, you could tell you could watch his brain. At first he was like, did you see I caught it? Get my catch?

00:09:36
Speaker 4: Look at my catch?

00:09:37
Speaker 9: To ten?

00:09:38
Speaker 4: He was like what Jim?

00:09:42
Speaker 5: And then he had a look on his face like I'm on the screen.

00:09:47
Speaker 4: And people are booing him and he starts going.

00:09:51
Speaker 5: You can see his brain going, oh wait a minute, this might not have this, This may not have gone as eye at that moment.

00:10:01
Speaker 4: Shine, you gotta get out of it.

00:10:02
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, right, for your own safety.

00:10:04
Speaker 5: For your own safety. And but he just stands there. They review it. He'swearing his stupid soccer uniform.

00:10:13
Speaker 2: Wasn't always the nerdiest guy that makes it.

00:10:14
Speaker 4: It's always the nerdiest guy.

00:10:16
Speaker 5: And soccer uniforms are not flattering for most people.

00:10:22
Speaker 4: No they're not.

00:10:23
Speaker 5: I mean, like I I wouldn't wear a soccer uniform where like why and he's belly and he turns around and like it was.

00:10:33
Speaker 4: Just the poor slub. It's just sitting there.

00:10:37
Speaker 7: I'm watching it again right now. There's a kid next to him and a glove. Kid who's also like, what are you doing?

00:10:42
Speaker 5: The kid next to him, he should have a glove, he's a kid.

00:10:47
Speaker 4: But I mean this you, I mean, if.

00:10:49
Speaker 5: You drew the guy up, if you were in a movie director and you were like, what slub do we put in the outfield to ruin this game?

00:11:00
Speaker 4: Chinn? And you'd put him.

00:11:01
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, exactly. He looks exactly like the guy you would play.

00:11:04
Speaker 5: He looks exactly like the guy, and I just was like, you know, and immediately I'm I'm a softie. I ended up kind of feeling sorry for him immediately, because, like it's a natural reaction. If you're the kind of dude that brings a glove, you're gonna try to catch it. Oh, you're locked in because you've got your glove waiting for you. You probably stretched, it's got EyeBlack on and your eyes. You're ready to go, and then you know, you lose the game.

00:11:28
Speaker 3: Thinks he's on the team, got the hat, he's on the soccer team.

00:11:32
Speaker 5: But do you think he was at a soccer game anyway? It was another terrible We stink. We now have the worst run differential in the National League, even though we have a winning record. Well, when your own fans are that's the poor guy. I wish Ellie had gone out there like what, I don't know.

00:11:51
Speaker 7: I thought about you immediately, THO when I saw it, I knew this was gonna be aching.

00:11:54
Speaker 5: You know, normally when we get back. When they scored two in the top of the tenth, I was like, we've lost. But you know what, whatever, I put it this much time and then as soon as I see that guy, he can't go back to another game because now we all know what he looks like.

00:12:07
Speaker 2: What if he has season tickets, he's gotta sell well.

00:12:09
Speaker 5: He's gotta sell him for give him away on this show. Definitely can't wear the soccer. Not wear that's that soccer jersey. Burn it just and leave the deaner to go burn it. You know what's the age limit on gloves?

00:12:21
Speaker 4: Gloves?

00:12:21
Speaker 5: You shouldn't wear a glove after your fourteen Okay, that's fair, Shane, And I'm right like adult shouldn't if you drove yourself to the game no gloves.

00:12:29
Speaker 3: Well, now I went to the Bats game this past weekend night and you wore a glove.

00:12:33
Speaker 2: Well, I was thrown up the hold on.

00:12:36
Speaker 3: I was throwing out the first pitch, I thought maybe there's a chance I could play catch before the first pitch. I only brought it for that reason, not to try to play out field for the Bats.

00:12:43
Speaker 4: But you didn't have it on your hand during the game. That's okay, that's due.

00:12:47
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I thought Shannon was about to say, setting the crowd for nine innings with the glove.

00:12:51
Speaker 4: And Yeah, that's the other thing. I can't imagine just having it on my hand the whole time. Yeah, keep up with it. You know you're eating skittles. I gotta heard a hot dog the glove. Dude catch it? How's he that good of a catch? I've bet deep down inside he's pretty proud. You just saw that ball, and it would that would have hit that line. I don't think it would have been over the fence, but I think it would have hit the line.

00:13:17
Speaker 3: I think the Reds win if it weren't for that guy. I mean that ties it up. That doesn't win.

00:13:20
Speaker 4: That that ties it up.

00:13:21
Speaker 5: It doesn't mean they win, probably not because we were throwing like every our team stinks. But now but but it wouldn't have been that guy's fault, and now we have that guy to blame forever. All right, did you pick? I see four people? Did you pick one?

00:13:33
Speaker 3: I thought we're gonna put him on the air to pick them? You just mean, like pick them off the air.

00:13:36
Speaker 5: I just meant just pick one. But real quick, Sean, it's two through five, right right?

00:13:42
Speaker 2: Yeah?

00:13:42
Speaker 4: All right, Sean? Quickly? Why should we pick you?

00:13:47
Speaker 5: Oh?

00:13:47
Speaker 10: Man, I come in the restaurant A lot I always rum a Reds gear, big fan.

00:13:51
Speaker 11: Talk to you about the Reds. I've tried to win him before. I've never been to get him before.

00:16:15
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, all right, you both hang on. Unbelievable. Shannon is unbelievable.

00:16:24
Speaker 5: We'll take a break, be right back. Welcome back, man. Just a diabolical Shannon said, from the start to the finish, I mean like diabolical Shannon.

00:16:37
Speaker 4: The jerk. People are writing in Shannon the another word that starts with deed.

00:16:42
Speaker 2: Deal with it, just divell going to a game?

00:16:47
Speaker 5: I mean, hill, did you hear how saddies? And then one person writes Shannon with the million dollar man laugh after it?

00:16:56
Speaker 4: You didn't do that. I'm like to go.

00:17:00
Speaker 5: I can listen on podcasts because you that laugh was evil. I will say pretty much all except a handful of people agree with you on the quaintance thing. Yeah, Billy is clearly in the minority on it results. Yeah, what a lot of people just riding in and going I like this one. There's no eye and team, but there is an eye and quaintance.

00:17:25
Speaker 4: That's me. That's me, you know. Listen.

00:17:32
Speaker 5: I both understand why fans are upset, but also get why why I did it?

00:17:37
Speaker 4: I mean, I get it. This is where.

00:17:41
Speaker 5: This is where to some extent, oddly, I kind of blame the team for taking the risk, but I think he was always just bonus. I think the team when you were. That's why I never people used to get mad at me during the season. I never considered him as part of when and I would talk about stuff because I always considered it just a bonus because I have to tell you I didn't think he would play at all.

00:18:06
Speaker 7: I was the same way when people talked about injuries. Low absolutely, Camoll, you're talking. But when you throw him in, I'm like, now, you can't go get a guy with a bum knee and then be like, oh the crap, he's hurt.

00:18:15
Speaker 4: You got it.

00:18:16
Speaker 5: I totally agree with you when you're trying to judge Pope on injuries. The low injury is completely fair to say that was bad luck. But Quaintan's you knew you took that chance and you knew what was happening.

00:18:32
Speaker 7: So you know, if I go to a body shop and by a broken down car in the back, then get on the road is not working, well, that's on me.

00:18:40
Speaker 6: Yeah.

00:18:40
Speaker 5: I mean I feel the same way to some extent about this kid that's coming this year. Frank h Cetnong Kepnong. He's missed what to the last two seasons. With injuries, you know you're taking a risk. But with Quaintons you even knew more because he was even hurt when you got him. At least this Frank guy is healthy now. He Jay was hurt when you got him, so you knew what you were doing.

00:19:02
Speaker 7: And a little scuttle buttish here, but the acquaintance is also I think thought he'd be in another role that he was promised in recruiting kind more that Amaris showing off his offense, and then I don't think they were filling that direction once they got on campus. We're a little let down by how even when he was attempting to play, they thought he'd be used.

00:19:18
Speaker 5: Yeah, eight five, nine, two eighty seven, you can if you want to call and give your give your take on that.

00:19:24
Speaker 4: I want to go through some things through the day.

00:19:27
Speaker 5: First of all, Malachi, we now find out he's met with six teams.

00:19:33
Speaker 7: And it's like the best teams you could go to. It's the Celtics, Lakers Heat. Yes he added uh, the Blazers yesterday.

00:19:41
Speaker 5: Including the Heat or the fourteenth pick. So like now you're starting to get into the lot like lottery range. Guys don't turn down the lottery.

00:19:50
Speaker 7: No, And I know everyone's thinking, well, last year he was this and he couldn't do that. You gotta remember the NBA, they're picking for what they think you can become. And if you look at some of those names at the end of the first round, I mean, if I'm a team, I see an eighteen year old whatever. He is, seven foot with athleticism, and sure he's got flaws and has a lot to work on, but I think I could turn that into something.

00:20:08
Speaker 4: Well.

00:20:09
Speaker 5: I mean, look, the most people look at the draft and say after pick like twelve, there's a huge drop off, right, well, and then there's an even bigger drop off after like eighteen or ninety.

00:20:23
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, if somebody likes him.

00:20:25
Speaker 5: Now, with that said, would you still say you think it's likely he comes back.

00:20:29
Speaker 7: I'm still expecting it, but I admit that just keeps shrinking my confidence drinks about me.

00:20:34
Speaker 5: With six teams, you start to get nervous because those teams are only allowed to meet with so many people, and they clearly all wanted to use one of theirs on him.

00:20:41
Speaker 4: And he said something.

00:20:42
Speaker 7: Along the lines of for not scrimmaging, his agent felt like he was in a good place already. He didn't saying about a guarantee and mock drafts still don't have him that high up, but he did say that he felt like he.

00:20:51
Speaker 4: Had done well enough already.

00:20:53
Speaker 5: All right, Mom Silovich said something like, I'm still focused on the draft, but he strikes me somebody who's likely to come back, right, would you agree?

00:21:03
Speaker 7: Yeah, he says, He kind of hinted it doesn't even have to be first round because now you can get a big guarantee in the second round. He's kind of saying, if anyone can guarantee me something. But still just where he is projected, I don't know.

00:21:14
Speaker 5: I don't know about Jeff Goodman saying Louisville. I mean, listen, Pope can't if Pope doesn't get him. I mean the nightmare scenario from Mark Pope, and it is a nightmare. Is Malachi stays in the draft. Mom Silovitch goes to Louisville.

00:21:33
Speaker 4: I mean, that is that's like a death blow right there. That's that's a nightmare. That is a I don't know, I don't know what.

00:21:42
Speaker 7: Like Kyle Tucker also put out he's hearing Louisville's a serious threat. I mean, I don't know where they're getting this money, but it seems like it's has legs.

00:21:48
Speaker 5: I mean, well, you know, for forgive Papa's racism, I guess, and all of a sudden you have all this money again.

00:21:55
Speaker 7: Also, Mom Chilovich said, if he goes back to school, he's going to go to a contender. I'm like, well, we can be one if you come. But on paper, right, I.

00:22:02
Speaker 5: Think that I think that would tell me he's not gonna go to LSU. But I think Kentucky, well, I don't know that they are contender. They certainly can place themselves as a contender. Louisville is too.

00:22:14
Speaker 7: If Malachi were to stay in the draft and he looks at that roster, I don't think that would be exciting to him.

00:22:19
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I but for Mark Pope's say you can't have Malaki, well, I mean, I don't know what they do if Malachi stays.

00:22:26
Speaker 4: In the draft period, I think we're in big trouble.

00:22:29
Speaker 5: I think it could do, it could be common to I think we're in trouble if you don't have If you don't have.

00:22:34
Speaker 4: Ingjai is very thin.

00:22:35
Speaker 7: You would have to play height using the word soft, but you'd have to be a soft basketball team and just play five out.

00:22:40
Speaker 5: But then the thing people were worried about which is are you is your starting point guard and starting big man two guys from a Washington team that went sixteen and seventeen. The answer would be yes at that point. So we need Malachi to stay. But we cannot have Malachi gone. And Mom Silovich to Louisville. I I I reckon?

00:22:58
Speaker 4: What was the other team mentioned too? Hey John's and Lord Saint John's. What if Saint John steals another guy? Rick gets them again?

00:23:04
Speaker 6: Oh?

00:23:05
Speaker 4: Be right back TJ Smith, personal injury attorney, call TJ.

00:23:09
Speaker 2: He'll make them pay now.

00:23:11
Speaker 3: More of Kentucky Sports Radio present it by Stockton Mortgage.

00:23:14
Speaker 2: Here's Matt Jones.

00:23:15
Speaker 5: Welcome back, Tukey Sports Radio. I gotta read you this message I got. You want to talk about someone? And I say this with respect because you're a listener and so I appreciate it. But if you want to talk about somebody, why are you laughing?

00:23:30
Speaker 7: Because y'all know Mario just looked at me, so I smiled buck nothing there, we're listening.

00:23:34
Speaker 4: This lets somebody roll in the text machine.

00:23:36
Speaker 5: So even if Quainton's quits, you and Drew blame Mark Pope. So many Kentuckians see right through this. We don't blame Pope. We are a people that know Jesus and therefore no truth. Thank goodness for Shane and the dude the least religious person up here, because otherwise Matt and ks are on the wrong side of fans and will not remain the voice of the fans. First of all, Shannon agrees with us that recruiting quaintance. We've talked about that many times. He just also blames quaintans.

00:24:10
Speaker 2: Am I right about had on both sides of yes.

00:24:14
Speaker 5: Secondly, Jesus does not care about the Kentucky basketball team who plays.

00:24:19
Speaker 7: It would be a lot better if he did. We wouldn't have lost in the second round. And I'm not saying blame Mark. Pope shouldn't got him. I'm glad he got him. But it's a gamble and if the gambled. I was totally fine with it when I got him.

00:24:32
Speaker 5: When we got him, you and I both said, not my money, But you know it's a risk. It's like, here's what it's like if you go to the poker table with one thousand dollars, if you've got it to spend, go I'm not saying it's wrong for you to.

00:24:49
Speaker 4: Go, but you can't then go play poker and then go.

00:24:53
Speaker 5: I got unlucky and lost a thousand dollars because I played poker. No, you made the choice to go do something risky. That choice is perfectly valid. But you made it same thing. You made a choice to get a risky player. Now, what is bad luck is if you walk down the street and somebody just takes your wallet and takes one thousand dollars. I kind of think that's what happened with jaylen Lowe. These guy's wallet taken happen. So for Mark Pope, it's like he had two thousand dollars, A thousand of it got stolen out of his pocket, and the other thousand he went and play poker with and he ended.

00:25:26
Speaker 4: Up with no money.

00:25:27
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I liked the addition of quaintance, but also knew it's not a certainty, but it's worth the risk. It just didn't pay out. I mean, he tore his a cl in February and committed in April. We knew that it was going to be well.

00:25:38
Speaker 5: I was about to see him all right, before we go phones, I want to do a couple of other little things here, Shannon, I saw June first their closing eye sixty five.

00:25:48
Speaker 2: And oh yeah, yeah, I'm aware.

00:25:52
Speaker 4: So for so shit, So this is like this affects you, doesn't.

00:25:55
Speaker 2: Very So yes, I take Guy sixty five north every day.

00:25:59
Speaker 5: So they are gonna like close it from what the Waterson to the bridge? Correct, So from the Waterson to the bridge will be closed for two months. So think about that for a minute. Everyone coming south from Bowling Green, et cetera. If you want to get into the city of Louisville or get past the city of Louisville, now you have to do it differently. If you want to go to Indiana, they're gonna make you go all.

00:26:28
Speaker 4: The way around. Think about that.

00:26:31
Speaker 5: So they're making you go all the way around the Waterson all the way back like you were coming to Louisville from Lexington to go up. That's an extra what half hour on your trip. So let's so that's one thing. Second, all that traffic is now gonna be funneled onto the Waterson.

00:26:48
Speaker 4: So the Waterson Shennon's gonna be a parking lot.

00:26:51
Speaker 2: If sure, it's already a mess as it is.

00:26:53
Speaker 5: It's already a mess, and it's gonna be It's double it, because everyone coming up sixty five is gonna have to go that way. If you don't know the area, that's gonna be the only way you even know to go. So the Waterston is gonna be a disaster for two months. Then there are people like Shannon who have to get downtown, and the only way for you to get downtown is gonna be to cut through all those people's neighborhoods. Well, there was a story today that the people in those neighborhoods are understandably like, we don't want all.

00:27:21
Speaker 4: Of these people. I get it.

00:27:24
Speaker 5: I mean these neighborhoods, these neighborhood's neighborhoods are gonna be bumper to bumper. So now the police are saying they might divert people from the neighborhoods.

00:27:33
Speaker 7: Oh my goodness, Shannon, you get a little benefit of you leave so early.

00:27:38
Speaker 3: Maybe, yeah, I mean I am in here at six thirty in the morning, so maybe.

00:27:42
Speaker 4: But I mean, like, you.

00:27:45
Speaker 5: Know, because like it's gonna be I sitting there looking at that map yet last night.

00:27:50
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a disaster. How long do they expect it?

00:27:54
Speaker 5: Two months from the beginning of June till the end of July. Yeah, and no construction is ever fit on time.

00:28:01
Speaker 3: You're right, this is gonna go well into August. We all know that, Yes, And I'm not to find an alternative way to get there every morning.

00:28:09
Speaker 4: Hell, if you thought about a helicopter.

00:28:10
Speaker 2: I thought about just staying here.

00:28:13
Speaker 5: But it really will be at best, at absolute best, you're adding thirty minutes to the trip. But that's assuming the Watterson doesn't become a parking lot.

00:28:24
Speaker 4: We'll get backed up, that's all.

00:28:25
Speaker 5: And it's assuming, and it's assuming that you can get through those neighborhoods, which you know Old Louisville is not exactly set up for traffic, No, not at all.

00:28:37
Speaker 11: No.

00:28:37
Speaker 3: And if there's traffic in the morning, it can sometimes already take me forty forty five minutes fifty minutes sometimes to get the work. Now, imagine all that traffic in one area. It's going to take over an hour for me to get to work every morning.

00:28:50
Speaker 4: So it's kind of moved before the street live.

00:28:52
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, that.

00:28:54
Speaker 5: Is going to be that's gonna be a for people in Louisville. What a messy couple of months, especially if you come on those roads. Doug go ahead, Doug.

00:29:03
Speaker 8: Yeah, man, you show yesterday you talked about the words that people never heard of. I have two. Uh, now, one I never heard of. But my wife said her mother YouTube all the time when they were kids. It's called gommon.

00:29:19
Speaker 4: And people were saying that, like, like, is it like something? What is it?

00:29:24
Speaker 8: It's like you're making a mess.

00:29:27
Speaker 4: You got like gumming it up or something.

00:29:30
Speaker 8: No, it's a gommon like g O M M I M.

00:29:34
Speaker 4: You ever heard of that?

00:29:35
Speaker 5: People were writing me in saying gomm g O M M. Either way, I hadn't really heard of those. What was the other one?

00:29:43
Speaker 8: Okay? Now, she was a registrar she kept for Western Kentucky. She kept track of bursting deaths. Yeah, she got curious and she was looking at some old death certificates and from differents. One of the words they used people were, I'm from they.

00:30:04
Speaker 4: Died from the tizzies. What's the tizzy?

00:30:09
Speaker 8: No one know, so.

00:30:11
Speaker 5: They just would put on the cause of death tizzy's. Yeah, huh, I have heard someone's in a tizzy.

00:30:20
Speaker 4: But you know you could die from it. You can get so much tizzy that you're dead. I guess.

00:30:25
Speaker 7: Guess when you're in a tizzy. You're kind of I don't know, overwhelmed or anxious. How would you describe it, I don't know, like worked up? Yeah, like Sean was probably in a tizzy after after Sean, I've never heard of that being a way to die though.

00:30:43
Speaker 5: That's a good one though, But I definitely didn't know that that would be a way you could.

00:30:47
Speaker 4: You could pass, Sean. Go ahead, Sean, Sean.

00:30:53
Speaker 10: I got four words, And I just want to agree with Shannon Kentucky ambled with acquaintance and uh, you know it was it was something as much as it was you know.

00:31:06
Speaker 5: Well, first of all, that was not changings. But he agrees with it. But also, according to this texter, you're against Jesus if you think that way. So I hope you understand that.

00:31:17
Speaker 2: Sean, Jesus the.

00:31:22
Speaker 10: Four words that'd being one of them, bless your heart, does the Southern words good?

00:31:28
Speaker 4: You did you?

00:31:33
Speaker 10: I don't know if you ever heard it, but being from Illsburg, you probably have. You did done it?

00:31:38
Speaker 4: Well? Yes, A lot of people would say say that for you know, did you do something? Did you do did you done it? Yeah?

00:31:48
Speaker 10: They'd be like did you do that? You'd be like, no, they like he did done it up a lot, and the last one is like, uh, Bill Foe slash pocketbook. You hear a lot of people say that, especially.

00:32:02
Speaker 4: Is it not a bill folk? I thought that was pretty common. Well, I mean, I know it's a wallet, but is that a is that a mountain thing?

00:32:11
Speaker 5: Or because I've always thought I used to call it a bill fold? That's a common right, Yeah, I feel like that's pretty common. I appreciate the call. I think they say that in New York. Don't you get out of bill?

00:32:23
Speaker 7: They probably don't put that twang on it that you just did, But I thought bill fold was the word.

00:32:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like people say bill fold.

00:32:31
Speaker 5: I don't think that's yeah all right if I'm nine to twenty two eighty cent. By the way, in the second hour, Shannon, you didn't send me ads? Who should I? What should I do here?

00:32:40
Speaker 6: Oh?

00:32:40
Speaker 2: I didn't. Well, I was because I forgot to send it.

00:32:43
Speaker 5: To you tear Cinema. I'll do it to start the next segment. Okay, start the second hour. One of our listeners created something extremely clever.

00:32:52
Speaker 4: Okay, a ks R villain bracket.

00:32:56
Speaker 5: All right, Various people that have been villains of this show a sixteen villain tournament. I changed like two because there were a couple in there that I didn't want to put in.

00:33:09
Speaker 4: But we're gonna do the villain bracket all the way through.

00:33:15
Speaker 5: This is our equivalent of the Bobby Bones grudge list on the phone. Who is the biggest villain in KSR history, not UK history, villain to this show or me personally?

00:33:28
Speaker 4: So to quote your boy Tyler, this is like who's high on our biting list.

00:33:31
Speaker 5: This is who is high on or was at some point. Yes, okay, so I I really like this. The guy that created it very very creative in coming up. Shady Rays same quality as two hundred dollars sunglasses used to buy, but a lot less expensive. They haven't in Lexington and Louisville. You can wear them to the lake. If you drop and replace them, they'll help you out. Knock them off the dock, they'll replace them.

Welcome back Tekey Sports Radio, Nappy Roots.

00:34:22
Speaker 2: Yeah from right here with Kentucky.

00:34:25
Speaker 5: Nice Kentucky group. Son of one of the guys was in it was a.

00:34:29
Speaker 4: UK football players, right you know tisdelle me? No, where's he now? What happened to him?

00:34:34
Speaker 7: He ended up at Eastern I don't know what he's doing presently currently.

00:34:38
Speaker 5: Yeah, I didn't mean like right this minute month we could check just kind of in general, right and join us morning.

00:34:43
Speaker 4: One person rights.

00:34:44
Speaker 5: Yesterday you all gave the answer for you had to have one shot to three? Who to pick? In UK history? What about you have to have one bucket? Guy with the ball in his hand, UK history? Who you take it? One bucket into the game, one bucket. He's got to create his own shot, so no coming off a screen. He's got to go get his basket. Who you getting?

00:35:11
Speaker 3: I have?

00:35:12
Speaker 4: I have two that come to my mind imediately. Who do you have?

00:35:17
Speaker 7: I have one that, uh, some people might not think of, but my mind went right to Brandon Knight. You know he had some tournament, go get buckets. I think he's a great combination of being able to take you off the drivel but also stop and shoot. I think college Brandon Knight for me was gonna be number two.

00:35:36
Speaker 4: Let that little pull up against Ohio State.

00:35:38
Speaker 5: I think about against Princet against West Virginia in that tournament, and then he did it a few times during the year, missed the shot, but he always got himself open.

00:35:48
Speaker 4: So I like that one.

00:35:49
Speaker 7: A lot because like I think of Aaron Harrison as clutch, but he's not a go get it.

00:35:52
Speaker 4: He was taking open threes.

00:35:53
Speaker 5: Sometimes he was. He was open against Louisville. He did shoot his own shot, but he just shot it over the Michigan yuh. But Jim Nance thought it got blocked, and it actually went in.

00:36:02
Speaker 4: Night called for the io and went and got his bucket. My number three is Maliite Monk. I like that.

00:36:08
Speaker 5: I think Malik Monk in college could go get his shot as well as anybody.

00:36:12
Speaker 4: He could rise up over and up over man. That's exactly right.

00:36:15
Speaker 5: So number two is Brandon to My number number one is going back a little bit. But Jamal Mashburn, Oh yeah, of course Jamal Mashburn could handle. He could shoot over you could go through you. So if I if you're gonna say to me in Kentucky history, give me one guy to go get me a bucket, I'm gonna go mashburn the night.

00:36:34
Speaker 4: Then Monk, would you change anybody?

00:36:37
Speaker 7: I love Monk. I might even go one on Monks, you know that, I think about it. But also from that same team. Right after night, my brain went to Darre and fought. By the end of the year, I've kind of got a recency bias with cal players there, but I like him as.

00:36:48
Speaker 4: Well, chanting anybody you'd put in that list.

00:36:52
Speaker 3: If we're just going on just a bucket, not necessarily a shot, but just score.

00:36:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, it can be anything.

00:36:56
Speaker 2: It can be two points.

00:36:58
Speaker 3: I don't know how you could overlook Dan Islol, who's the all time leading scorer at Kentucky.

00:37:01
Speaker 5: Well, see, I just didn't see him play, so like I don't know, I don't know how he got his baskets, and I don't know. I mean somebody who's got the ball at the top of the key and can go score.

00:37:11
Speaker 2: Getting at john Wall, John john Wall's good score, get to the basket, get me john Wall.

00:37:16
Speaker 4: John Wall's really good.

00:37:17
Speaker 5: The question is can he like, if the guy's closing you off and you get doubled, could he shoot a three? And I don't know if I but what but Wall going to the basket is maybe better than anybody.

00:37:28
Speaker 7: There's one guy that's kind of one dimensional. But he did it four times. It's oh way. I mean they get the Oklahoma games, that's true. I mean he just lowered his head and went and got a bucket.

00:37:38
Speaker 5: I mean, we all remember the three against Santa Clair, but we forget to play before where he tied the game and he took it in and got and got the tournament.

00:37:46
Speaker 4: We're almost going home in the first round for the first year.

00:37:49
Speaker 5: No way is in terms of being able to just score with the ball in his hands, you're right. I mean, if you just look at.

00:37:56
Speaker 2: He is insane.

00:37:58
Speaker 5: But before that, before that, he actually created a shot that was like a heave. But yeah, just kind of thinking about it, Jamal Murray was really good at that in terms of, uh, he could kind of just get a shot when he needed to.

00:38:12
Speaker 7: Bonus points on him as he would shoot someone with an arrow after he did it, which would really add.

00:38:16
Speaker 4: To the It did have the whole thing.

00:38:18
Speaker 5: I'm trying to think going back, Jody Meeks, several been pretty lucky.

00:38:25
Speaker 4: Who had been? Who who was who was really good at that?

00:38:27
Speaker 7: Trying to think of a bigger guy you could trust just well, Zi, only one I can think of.

00:38:31
Speaker 5: We we haven't had a ton of kind of modern bigs that take you off the bounce. I you know, we don't like Bam does that now. But he didn't do that here really And I was a little young at the time.

00:38:44
Speaker 7: But when Antoine Walker qualifying this, Antwine Walker is a good one.

00:38:48
Speaker 5: I don't know that he was as consistent, but Antoine Walker was a big who could do that? Yeah, that's a good call. Well eight, I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. That was a good question. I still with all of those like an, but I think everybody we mentioned a good contender. Kevin, go ahead, Kevin.

00:39:06
Speaker 6: Matt great question. And the obvious answer for me is Brad Cala Perry that my boy was a dog out there. That's why I wanted taking the last shot fair enough. I don't know how you guys, it was probably an honest mistake leaving that one off, but I'll give you a pass.

00:39:21
Speaker 11: Who are you on for the Preakness.

00:39:22
Speaker 6: Talk to me through that.

00:39:23
Speaker 5: You know, I have no idea that was actually gonna be. I'm gonna save that topic for tomorrow, but I honestly don't know. I think there's only one horse from the Derby in it, right, and I think it's the co favorite along with the horse.

00:39:36
Speaker 6: Well, there's a few Derby horses. O'celly is in it, Robusta is in it as well. But all right, well, what's the one.

00:39:43
Speaker 5: I'm gonna look at it tonight, But what what's the horse from the Derby that's the co favorite?

00:39:47
Speaker 4: Which one is that?

00:39:50
Speaker 6: Well, o'celly's near a favorite. I think o'celly's at six to one, but there's also incredible.

00:39:55
Speaker 4: There's there's more incredible.

00:39:57
Speaker 5: That was the one I was thinking of. Okay, they know ocelly was in, but go ahead, what's your other one?

00:40:02
Speaker 6: Yeah, so you're talking about the Quaintances drama, which which did lead me to remember the low Holts quote where he said God may not care about who wins the football game, but his mother certainly does. So that was that made me a big of our quote. That's a good question in terms of in terms of Quainton's I mean, is JMI, is there a way of indemnifying themselves against these deals that go add I mean the kid played three games?

00:40:27
Speaker 4: I mean is the money I mean? Is there a way? Yes?

00:40:30
Speaker 5: But this is part of the issue for all these schools. In theory, could you do a contract that says if you don't play, you don't get it. Yes, But the problem is other schools are not going to do it. So this is why at the end of the day, everything what we that people want to put in these contracts. They have to play this many games, they have to score this many points, they need incentives, all of those things. Under the current rules you could do. The problem is because we don't have a collective bargaining situation, the other schools are just going to say we'll give you the money and not do that.

00:41:04
Speaker 4: Right.

00:41:05
Speaker 5: So, in the NBA and all those sports, the reason that they can put those provisions in deals is the Players Association has allowed the teams to do it. In college, it's a complete free for all. So if you want to put things in like you have to play, another school will just come and go, well, we'll give you the same money, and we won't put that in there. And guess what the kid's gonna do. Ye, he's gonna go to the other place.

00:41:31
Speaker 6: Well, I suppose I'm referring to the fact that I know there's a bevy of products that are coming online in the insurance industry. Though.

00:41:38
Speaker 4: Oh I do think they have them. Yes, I do think they have those. I do think those exist.

00:41:43
Speaker 5: Whether or not they had it for quaintance, I don't know, but I appreciate the call. They do exist, And yes, JMI could get an insurance policy on whether or not they play. I do not know if they got it on Queens. But this is part of the reason why, you know, when you say and talk about like legislation or rules, most people do it. In let's cap the money. I don't think caps are going to happen, or at least not the way we think of them. But I do think you the argument for making it to where players can collectively bargain or whatever is it also can protect the teams from fighting amongst themselves, you know what I mean, And you can actually make rules that help the teams. I think that's where we got to end up, or somewhere close to that. Or it's always going to have these issues, all right, we'll take a break, take your calls, and also do the KSR Villain Bracket after this
