Speaker 5: And Grill where we're now open. You can come have lunch. You know.

00:01:17
Speaker 4: We got the Sweet sixteen coming Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I plan on going to quite a bit of it on Wednesday and Thursday. Actually, well not Thursday. I'm going to opening day, but I plan on going to a lot of it on Wednesday. You guys, when you're in town for the Sweet sixteen, please come on by.

00:01:32
Speaker 5: We'll have We had a Dare County here.

00:01:35
Speaker 4: Yesterday, Yes, right, a Dare County, can Crossing coming, who else Henderson County, Henderson County and Great Crossing. So those are gonna be the teams I pull for. Uh, we had one team canceled. I'm not gonna call them out, but I was gonna be for you and and and now I'm not. But you guys, when you're in town, come on out and uh and.

00:01:53
Speaker 5: See us over here over the course of the day.

00:01:55
Speaker 6: Now, there's a lot of years where we've had to travel this week, but being Friday, in Annapolis. I like that we get to stick around watch a lot of high school basketball too.

00:02:01
Speaker 4: We're gonna pick some of those games here in in just a few minutes, but let's talk. One person writes Matt. I'm hoping you and the crew can explain to my wife why such a large part of BBN hates Tennessee. She doesn't understand why we dislike them so much, and I have a hard time articulating it.

00:02:20
Speaker 5: Well. I mean, part of it is we're on the border.

00:02:23
Speaker 4: We share so much of a border with Tennessee, so a lot of us have had to grow up with them and their fans. When I was a kid, I got Knoxville television stations, so it was all Tennessee. You know, there was a time the only football game that was on television all year for Kentucky was against Tennessee. Jefferson Pilot would show that last game live, Otherwise you'd.

00:02:45
Speaker 5: Have to watch them all in replay.

00:02:47
Speaker 4: And then you go back in basketball, they had a history of a big games back in the SEC, with Ernie and Bernie and.

00:02:55
Speaker 5: All those guys. How White, Why else do you think we hate Tennessee.

00:02:58
Speaker 7: I don't know this, but I think They've played Tennessee more than anybody else in basketball, so I think that adds to it. You know, they're our border, they're right there, but you're right, it's it's deeper in the thirteenth Region than anywhere else because you guys have to live.

00:03:10
Speaker 4: But also in like the Hopkinsville area, there's a lot of Tennessee hate kind of on that part of the state. You're right, those of us that had to get Knoxville television, I think feel.

00:03:19
Speaker 5: It even more. Yeah.

00:03:20
Speaker 6: I think Ryan nell that too though. Just playing them twice a year in basketball going back to the early nineteen hundreds, I mean they've played almost three hundred times. Football, you're playing every year and unfortunately on our side, we were losing it every year. I just think it makes it an easy team to hate.

00:03:34
Speaker 5: And by the way, that might go away the football.

00:03:36
Speaker 4: I mean, we may end up with a if they don't go to nine teams, you know, the South Carolina. We may end up not playing Tennessee in football every year, which is kind of amazing to think. I probably would have never thought that's the case, but we may end up that being a team we played one every two years.

00:03:50
Speaker 7: Yeah, it used to be the last game every year, and Kentucky never won it with long most of my lifetime. So yeah, i'd hate to see that game go. Now that we've won the game and it's become a good rivalry again.

00:04:00
Speaker 4: All right, So the portal is now open for college basketball. You're gonna hear Kentucky associated with a lot of names. The two names that I think have been the most prominent in the last couple of days the point guard at UNLV who averaged like eighteen or nineteen points a game. And I cannot remember his name. It blanked as soon as I got here. Do you know the name?

00:04:22
Speaker 5: Oh gosh, I've seen him play, but something.

00:04:26
Speaker 4: He's apparently the first when he got in the portal, the first call he had made was a guy from Kentucky, one of our staff members. And then someone people seem very excited about. Is this big man from San Diego State. He's a freshman, he was all freshman in his conference. He's big, tall, long guy. You can just kind of see, you could see how Pope would like him.

00:04:48
Speaker 5: He can shoot.

00:04:50
Speaker 4: Those are the two guys we've heard the most besides the kid at LMU, and then the kid from North Dakota and we're gonna keep hearing these names. It was interesting to me to hear Mark Pope on his radio show say he's got a guy on staff that basically knows every player.

00:05:04
Speaker 5: In the country, which is an amazing thing if you think about.

00:05:08
Speaker 4: It, Like he has a spreadsheet with every roster in the country, and the moment somebody gets in the portal, if they're on the we should want these bam they contact.

00:05:18
Speaker 5: I think that's can you.

00:05:19
Speaker 4: I mean, this has got to be a pressure fill few weeks for these guys for him, right, Like he gets notices every time someone in dinners the portal. Seven hundred guys into the portal yesterday, so he was just getting noticed after notice after notice after notice.

00:05:30
Speaker 7: You're trying to get ready for Tennessee, but you got to have an eye on what's going on in the portal because you know, you got to replenish your roster for next year and you gotta do it quick, yep.

00:05:38
Speaker 4: And so like they're gonna have to work on it this week. It's probably terrible timing. The NCAA should change that, but it is what it is.

00:05:45
Speaker 5: Yeah, they need to change it.

00:05:46
Speaker 6: Same with football, where teams in the playoff get punished because they're busy still playing and winning. It's the same case with the tournament. But I can't imagine being the guy that has to keep up with all that, especially when seven hundred is something going one day.

00:05:57
Speaker 5: It's amazing. Now.

00:05:58
Speaker 4: I heard Brandon Walk of Barstool make a point that I thought was a great point that I want to give him credit for but also repeat. You know, there was a lot of talk by idiots who don't watch college basketball yesterday saying like Cinderella is over in the NCAA tournament. I think that's a silly argument, but he made I thought a really good point, which is part of Cinderella. May have just transferred from teams to players. So we think of Cinderella as Florida Gulf Coast goes on a run to the Sweet sixteen. But some of these players are in and of themselves. Cinderella's that Johnny Broome could go to Morehead and end up potentially National Player of the Year.

00:06:38
Speaker 5: That's a Cinderella story.

00:06:40
Speaker 4: Mark Sears can be at Ohio and have a shot it back to back final fource. You know, Chas Lanier can come from Northern Florida. Kobe Brea can come from Dayton Ansley almanor can come from Fairleigh Dickinson. And the idea is, it's now no longer the case that how good you were as a high school senior determines your college career and determines where you can go. Now it can be part of a process and you can watch and players can rise. Why can't we enjoy that and appreciate that as well? I think that's a great point. I mean, whoever wins the national championship is almost certainly gonna have a kid who started at some small school and worked his way up to that team. That is, in and of itself kind of awesome, isn't it.

00:07:27
Speaker 7: That's the best thing about the transfer portal. It gives kids that maybe were overlooked in high school, maybe they were hurt their senior year in high school, started out at a mid major, but yet probably should be at a Division one school all along. Now they have a chance to do that with.

00:07:41
Speaker 4: The kid that's out Max Green, Right, Yeah, who plays where holy Cross? He was at holy Cross, but he's from Kentucky. Where did he go to high school?

00:07:49
Speaker 7: Cooper? So it's Cooper.

00:07:53
Speaker 4: Let's say whatever, let's just say whatever school he went to Cooper Ryle Oldham. That kid did not get recruited by top schools. He ends up at holy Cross, which is one of them smart schools. He goes and plays well, and now he could end up at a lot of places, including the Kentucky Wildcats, his home state school, and it wouldn't have happened for him out of college.

00:08:20
Speaker 5: Isn't that That's I mean, that's an underdog worth rooting for.

00:08:24
Speaker 7: Absolutely, it's worth rooting for. And that's why it gives these kids a chance to and that even kids that go to Division two, they'll have a chance now to move up to the mid major.

00:08:32
Speaker 4: Skills and then holy Cross can go get a kid that's playing at Cumberland.

00:08:36
Speaker 5: Yeah, they want that has a big year he could.

00:08:39
Speaker 4: End up going to I mean absolutely, that is for people who want meritocracy. Isn't that meritocracy at its absolute best?

00:08:48
Speaker 7: Yeah?

00:08:48
Speaker 6: I'd say most of the best players in the Sweet sixteen are transfers. I mean, sure, there's your Cooper Flags and a couple of the big recruits, but you know, Walter Clayton was at Iona Mark Sears, he was at a small school's Derek Queen almost went to Indiana.

00:09:02
Speaker 4: That's really but that's a really good point about Cooper Flag. Okay, so now Cooper Flagg, who's been in our lives since we were at since he was like fifteen, he is the traditional success and he will still succeed in this system. Derek Queen will still succeed in this system. But now Cooper a Johnny Broom or Walter Clayton, who his entire life was told he's not as good as a Cooper Flag gets a chance to play, maybe in a big environment, and I think that's.

00:09:29
Speaker 6: And it doesn't have to be the stars. Troy's best player was at Ranger College. I mentioned how Billy Gillespie recruited him. I mean, sure he lost to Kentucky, but he was the player of the year in their conference and got to play in the NCAA Tournament for coming from a juco in Texas.

00:09:41
Speaker 7: So let me ask you this. You think there'll be more coaches do what Rick Patino says he's gonna do and not Na Tilley recruit high school kid.

00:09:48
Speaker 4: It's going what's Here's what's gonna happen these colleges, these smaller colleges are gonna get players out of high school better than they've ever gotten before. Like if I'm Eastern Kentucky, let's take EKU. I used to recruit a certain level of player. You'd have to talk to their coaches to know what that is. But maybe that's player four hundred through six hundred in America or whatever. All of a sudden, they're gonna have access now maybe to two hundred through three hundred.

00:10:15
Speaker 5: Huh, they're gonna get access to a higher level player. Now.

00:10:18
Speaker 4: You know you might lose it, but you know what, You're gonna see some dudes playing at some of these campuses that would have never shown up there before. Yeah, because that's gonna have to be their first spot because the older guys are taking the other slots.

00:10:31
Speaker 6: And there's gonna be some guys that didn't get the minutes they wanted at a big school, like a duke, and you know, sometimes you go to the portal and it doesn't work out for you. In a smaller school, might even be able to pull someone from higher up because without didn't have the options they thought they were.

00:10:43
Speaker 4: He didn't succeed, But think about like Long Beach State had Devon ask you, you think Devin asked you would have even considered going to Long Beach State out of high school. But now they get somebody like that, so you know, they're announced. I think what will be hard. It'll be hard for any mid major to be good every year. That's gonna be really hard. But in an individual year, one of these teams that goes and takes these like if an Eastern Kentucky goes and takes the best player from Georgetown and from you know whatever, and but maybe they could Bill will.

00:11:16
Speaker 5: Be good that year.

00:11:17
Speaker 7: And that's what That's exactly what we're gonna see happen every single year. It's gonna be a lot of roster turnover because of the portal. And like you mentioned, the guy here the junior college, I think is gonna really make it take a big jump in talent.

00:11:28
Speaker 4: One of the things one of those guys is Antonio Reeves. How about a little stat for you. In his last five games, Antonio Reids in the NBA has made seventeen of twenty four threes.

00:11:41
Speaker 7: Any of us shocked?

00:11:43
Speaker 5: He's rolling?

00:11:44
Speaker 7: Yep?

00:11:44
Speaker 4: You want to know who the So last night the Pelicans played the seventy six ers, you know who was second in scoring for the Pelicans, Antonio Reeves.

00:11:54
Speaker 5: You want to know who's first in scoring for the seventy six ers, Justin Edwards.

00:12:00
Speaker 4: Wow, if you want to about last year, my goodness.

00:12:06
Speaker 5: I mean, if you want to vomit, don't just see.

00:12:08
Speaker 4: We don't even have to talk about Read and Rob And last night two NBA teams played each other, and two guys that were on our roster that were not the two guys that were top ten picks led their teams and.

00:12:26
Speaker 5: Score insane and we lost to Oakland.

00:12:31
Speaker 4: And people have the audacity to say we wouldn't have wanted to change. We have four guys from that team that, in theory, could lead a roster in the NBA in scoring in a game.

00:12:46
Speaker 7: And they lost Oakland, and we lost to Oakland, lost the first round of the SEC tournament.

00:12:51
Speaker 5: I thought we hit the reset and we're feeling good. I am.

00:12:54
Speaker 4: I'm just saying to you when I was watching Antony Edwards, or excuse me, Antonio Reeves make his fifth straight three last night. I'm happy for those two guys, though, aren't you all? Both of them deserve it? Yep, Justin struggled here, I know, but good for him and Antonio Reeves always was good. I don't understand why he didn't get picked higher. He's he's a he's an NBA guy like he can score.

00:13:17
Speaker 6: Before you mentioned Reeves and Edwards, you mentioned Devin. Ask you how on earth are he and Cameron Fletcher entering the transfer portal. I went to school with them, I think six years ago. He has another year. He and Fletcher both were on the same team and they still have college eligibility.

00:13:34
Speaker 8: Unbelievable. Who's next? Let's go to Jordan Jordan, go ahead, Jordan, Jordan. Okay, all right, let's try Jake, Jake, Jake, go ahead?

00:13:49
Speaker 9: All right?

00:13:52
Speaker 10: After we beat Tennessee, who's the next to who's the next victim?

00:13:55
Speaker 9: And in the Elite eight?

00:13:57
Speaker 5: Matt, Well, they play.

00:13:58
Speaker 4: The winner of Houston and Purdue, and I think that'll be a good game. Houston's better, but Purdue will have a big home court advantage, but I'll take Houston.

00:14:05
Speaker 5: I think we would end up playing Houston.

00:14:09
Speaker 9: Then after we beat Houston, who well, I.

00:14:12
Speaker 4: Mean, they have brackets. Jake, you can look at him, I mean I think after.

00:14:15
Speaker 10: That, I can't look at him because I can't see man.

00:14:19
Speaker 5: I know. I'm sorry, but they would play Who's next Auburn?

00:14:25
Speaker 7: Is that right? I can't think of who is I think.

00:14:27
Speaker 4: We're on Auburn side, right, and Duke the one and Florida the four. I think I'm right. I think we would play in the final four. I think we would play Auburn if we made it. Yes, what's on the other side? We would play Duke.

00:14:42
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, Jake, we would play Duke.

00:14:44
Speaker 4: And if we played Duke in the Final four and I was on a plane to Amsterdam during the game, I might explode.

00:14:51
Speaker 11: Oh boy, then you'd be sorry you took the trip.

00:14:56
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, believe me, that's been on my mind. If we if we, if we would have played Duke in the Final four, one of those videos I'm sitting there not able to get Wi Fi on the fly and having to figure out that would be you'd.

00:15:09
Speaker 6: Be one of the people we see taped to their seat because they couldn't behave on a flight.

00:15:12
Speaker 5: Yeah, so, Jake, it would be.

00:15:16
Speaker 4: Thanks Jake, Jake, it would be Tennessee, Houston, then Duke and then either let's say Auburn or Florida.

00:15:25
Speaker 5: All right, all right, thank you Jack, there go.

00:15:29
Speaker 6: Well, why is our bracket not filled out there? Or is it there's a few empty spots. That's your favorite game? Why don't you goad and fill that in?

00:15:36
Speaker 5: Yeah?

00:15:37
Speaker 6: Why why Kentucky's not hadn't beaten Illinoy yet on our cast? Bar bracket fixed that. We'll take a break. I'll fill out some bracket and be right back.

00:15:45
Speaker 5: This cans cornbreadhamp dot com.

00:15:52
Speaker 4: If you rest and relax like I did last night, put those corn bread Hemp sleep gummies.

00:15:57
Speaker 5: You know they.

00:15:58
Speaker 4: I have one specifically designed for sleep. I'm thinking about switching over to it because it works really well. He helps you rest, helps you get your z's. You can now use the code during March Madness half off. Excuse me, March Mania half off by one get one fifty percent off half off on cornbread Heemp dot com. We are here at Ksbar and Grill. You can come out see us. We have lunch all day, all right. So they just I just see this graphic. Only one team in the Sweet sixteen. Every player on the roster started his career at that school.

00:16:32
Speaker 5: Can you tell me which school it is?

00:16:33
Speaker 7: I think I know that I saw the graphic during their broadcast. Is it Purdue?

00:16:38
Speaker 5: It is Purdue.

00:16:39
Speaker 4: There are only listen to this, There are only three of the sixteen schools have four guys who started at their program. Purdue is one of them. Who are the other two.

00:16:52
Speaker 7: Michigan State.

00:16:53
Speaker 5: Michigan State is the other one, And.

00:16:57
Speaker 6: Man, I'm just seeing a lot of transfers from.

00:17:01
Speaker 5: Duke fresh freshman.

00:17:04
Speaker 4: Here's what I didn't realize until I looked at this graphic. I knew Lamont Butler started at Santill State. I knew Otaga and Oklahoma. I knew Kobe Braa Dayton, I knew a Mario Williams Drexel. I don't think I knew that Andrew Carr started his career at Delaware two years of Delaware.

00:17:23
Speaker 7: I didn't know until Drew said that. I don't think I ever knew that. I thought he was just a Wake Force guy.

00:17:28
Speaker 4: I don't think I ever knew that either, So they honestly don't think I had ever heard that fact.

00:17:34
Speaker 6: Until he was a Blue Hen started as a Blue Hen. I think his dad played there. He's got some big family ties to Delaware.

00:17:40
Speaker 7: But it goes along you're arguing about the transfer portal, Think about that guy goes from Delaware to Wake Forest to Kentucky and never would have happened without the portal.

00:17:47
Speaker 5: All right, we have some breaking news. Shannon running on AH.

00:17:52
Speaker 4: Just moments ago, Kentucky Governor Andy Basheer signed the law passed by the legislature making the drivers permit age in Kentucky now fifteen. You'll be able to get a driver's permit at fifteen and for one year you can have a permit at age fifteen. That goes down a full year from when it was sixteen and you couldn't get your license to seventeen. So now it's fifteen to sixteen. Do you like or dislike the law passed overwhelmingly in the state legislature.

00:18:22
Speaker 7: I can't dislike this enough. A father of three boys, there is no way I'd want them on the road at fifteen. I mean, and he's got like a twelve or thirteen year old son. He may regret this move in a copy.

00:18:34
Speaker 5: It was the legislature passed it. He just had to decide to sign.

00:18:38
Speaker 4: Oh, this is bad telling you, right, So here's the argument for it. I tend to side with you. But the argument for it is this allows people, especially out in the western part of the state farm to get help. Let kids help with the farms and go and get the I don't know, feed.

00:18:53
Speaker 5: Or cows or whatever. Yeah, DoorDash cow. I don't think you can do that.

00:18:59
Speaker 4: But but that it's like it's mostly like for rural farm. That's that's I think the mindset of why it was passed.

00:19:06
Speaker 5: Do you like it or no?

00:19:07
Speaker 6: I think it's a terrible idea. We have enough bad drivers on the road already. Not to sound like an old man, but I just assume these fifteen year olds will be staring at their phone the whole time while they're on the road. I don't think we need any more drivers right now. They can I like the age as it is. They can get their own feed.

00:19:22
Speaker 5: Shannon, that's two votes against it. Are you forward her against?

00:19:24
Speaker 3: I'm completely against it as we have a horrible driver. Half the people on the road don't deserve their license to begin with. And that's not all young people, it's some old people. It's a mix of age. But I don't want anybody younger than what has to be on the road on the road.

00:19:39
Speaker 5: Here's what surprises me about it.

00:19:41
Speaker 4: Okay, so because I would lean no as well, Like I don't know that we need fifteen year olds. I would cut half of the drivers off the road now if given the opportunity. But it passed like eighty seven to thirteen, like it passed overwhelmingly.

00:19:57
Speaker 5: It was bipartisan. But signed it. Who's for it?

00:20:03
Speaker 7: Like?

00:20:04
Speaker 4: Like there had to be clearly a big push to get it done. It was one of the first bills passed in the legislature. Who's I mean, is it just? I mean, there aren't that many farmers. I mean there's farmers, but they're not a zillion of them.

00:20:17
Speaker 5: Like, who's for this?

00:20:18
Speaker 7: I don't know either with this? Let's you talk about it. I mean I could see where the rural counties that may want to help pass this, but there's a lot more population obviously in Lexington, Louisville, Bowling, Green owens Borough. That I would never want fifteen year olds driving on the road.

00:20:33
Speaker 5: But now you're gonna have it.

00:20:34
Speaker 4: But they'll but but while they have a permit, though, they'll have their like you'll be in the car.

00:20:38
Speaker 7: It scares me too. I don't know if i'd want to ride shot down with my son driving at fifteen.

00:20:43
Speaker 6: But still they'll get their license earlier than they would have moving it up.

00:20:45
Speaker 4: I mean, still, you're gonna as a practical impact, you're gonna have un like supervised drivers. A year earlier, it was seventeen, and now it's going to be sixteen.

00:20:56
Speaker 6: Channon was with me at the public market getting lunch today. We're trying to get a table and there was a kid who was probably fifteen on his phone. I said, is anyone sitting here? And he didn't look up. Anyone's sitting here?

00:21:05
Speaker 7: Do you speak?

00:21:06
Speaker 6: And then he didn't say anything that His parents came over and yelled at me and Shannon for sitting down. I was like, your kid didn't look up from his phone. I'm sorry, I asked him three times. I kind of got a little defensive. So that's still fresh in my brain, and I feel like it's just gonna be like that with them driving around.

00:21:18
Speaker 5: There's currently a lot of people that, like I.

00:21:20
Speaker 4: I have yet to talk to a person that is happy about this, and yet it passed overwhelmingly, and so you just wonder, well, how did that happen? Who's next to Craig, Craig, Go ahead, Craig.

00:21:33
Speaker 11: Guys, I'll tell you who's probably for that is the insurance company I'm guessing they got a lot invested in that, even though I'm after hell, we're gonna make a lot.

00:21:40
Speaker 4: Of Money's probably a good point because they'll be able to charge a lot for that insurance for the fifteen and said, I didn't think about that.

00:21:46
Speaker 5: See follow the money, go ahead.

00:21:49
Speaker 11: And you got something good. Points on what makes Tennessee so bad, But the number one thing is the fans. They're the worst fans, the most unrealistic, cocky, arg agant fans in the SEC. I think that's what makes.

00:22:05
Speaker 5: With you on that.

00:22:06
Speaker 4: I think Tennessee has I appreciate the call of the fan bases we deal with regularly. Tennessee's is the worst, you know, I Louisville's Louisville. I've been enemy number one in Louisville. Used to be really less so now, but I have been. I've been there. I know what they do. They're jerks, but they still kind of know their second I mean, they know it like they they They may not say it, but they know it. Tennessee fans are arrogant on a level that's a whole other thing. And they're the meanest, like they're mean. They're the meanest fan base on the Internet and really in life. So yeah, I do think the fans are part of why I really don't like them.

00:22:47
Speaker 7: And it seems like it's the Tennessee football fan that is just the most disgusting, low down, dirty, swim and chewing tobacco people I've ever seen in my life.

00:22:57
Speaker 5: Discussing how many pictures have you tweeted so far this week? I've seen at least two.

00:23:04
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go to to day.

00:23:05
Speaker 4: Okay, you're just tweeting two pictures a day of women with tobacco.

00:23:10
Speaker 7: Yep. And they all look like they're right out of here.

00:23:12
Speaker 5: You get these pictures? Is this like a fetish of yours?

00:23:15
Speaker 4: I have people sending them to me? You have people sending you pictures of women chewing tobacco?

00:23:20
Speaker 7: Yes, and they're about to be Should.

00:23:21
Speaker 5: We give everybody your number where they can send it?

00:23:23
Speaker 4: No, thank you, No, you can find it if you look.

00:23:27
Speaker 5: We'll be right backx KSR. TJ. Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ. He'll make them pay. Now.

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

00:23:39
Speaker 4: Ryan's continuing with these pictures you're gonna get like Tennessee. Twitter's gonna find you sometime this week, and it's not gonna be I'm just telling you I've been.

00:23:47
Speaker 5: I've been the target there. It's happening at some point.

00:23:51
Speaker 7: I'm just posting real photos. That's not AI. That's girls dipping wearing Tennessee stuff.

00:23:58
Speaker 5: I got questions. That's kind of throwing off.

00:24:00
Speaker 4: The guy right here, just sitting with his back to me, he's just like, you know what, He's just kind.

00:24:04
Speaker 5: Of throwing me off. He's like, I want to look at you. I'm gonna sit I'm going this way. He is ill, there is.

00:24:10
Speaker 4: I just you're the first person I've ever seen come here during the show and just sit with your back directly to me. That's alright though, No, No, you see you tuck your son there. I think I feel like you'll CBS just announced highest viewed second round of the NCAA Tournament since nineteen ninety three?

00:24:32
Speaker 7: Was it really?

00:24:33
Speaker 4: The highest rated game was Kentucky Illinois, followed by Duke and Baylor.

00:24:38
Speaker 5: Yeah, so bad. Kentucky Illinois the highest rated game.

00:24:44
Speaker 4: You know, I got the order wrong, but I was certain they were putting Duke at two thirty in Kentucky at five or Kentucky at five and Duke at two thirty. Everybody just has to remember the two programs that drive the car in college basketball, Kentucky Duke from a television perspective.

00:25:02
Speaker 5: They're always going to do that, and they did it again this weekend.

00:25:06
Speaker 4: But for all the people who say nil portal, it's ruining basketball, highest rated tournaments since nineteen ninety three, first and second round does not surprise.

00:25:16
Speaker 5: Me at all.

00:25:18
Speaker 7: You may say we don't just move the needle, we are the needle.

00:25:23
Speaker 4: You may I'm not because that's what cal Perry said, But yes, but that's just.

00:25:28
Speaker 5: How it is.

00:25:28
Speaker 4: Like the portal has been good for college basketball. I don't necessarily think it's good for college football because there's so many players and I think that makes it hard. But for college basketball, it has made the sport older, which has made a higher quality of play. It has made it to where lots of teams can compete. It is the portal has been a one hundred percent positive in in aile, guys are staying in school.

00:25:58
Speaker 5: Tate, you mentioned DJ Wagner.

00:26:00
Speaker 4: Dj Wagner might come back again without in il he's gone.

00:26:06
Speaker 5: Take away, he might come back without in il gone. That's just how it is.

00:26:12
Speaker 6: And sure in this first weekend of the tournament, we didn't get the Cinderella is taken down a goliath like we have one occasionally. But how exciting are these this next next weekend? I mean, there's a ten seed in the in the field and it's Arkansas that might be one of the most talented teams.

00:26:25
Speaker 4: Look at these games. I mean, none of these games are bad. You got Auburn, Michigan that should be great, Old Miss Michigan State, Florida, Maryland, Texas Tech, Arkansas, Duke, Arizona, b Yu and Alabama. There might not be a scoreboard that can keep up with that one. Houston and Purdue, Kentucky and Tennessee. That's not one bad game game out of those Sweet sixties.

00:26:46
Speaker 6: Cinderellas are fun, but they the second weekend. They usually I mean there's been a few cases go far, but they usually get smoked in the second round. It makes for a bad game in the second weekend.

00:26:55
Speaker 4: You want upsets in the first round. You want chalk in the sweet sixteen. You want games with the better games. You want the games where both teams are good and we're gonna we're gonna get that this year. Do you Ryan have a twenty three and me account?

00:27:09
Speaker 7: I don't even know what that is.

00:27:11
Speaker 5: Drew, you do have one? I got on it.

00:27:13
Speaker 6: I got on last night, and uh it's probably too late, but I deleted every possible thing I could have on there, even though I've already sent in whatever I sent in.

00:27:22
Speaker 5: Did you did you do you have a twenty three and me? No?

00:27:24
Speaker 3: I have an ancestry.

00:27:26
Speaker 4: Okay, so you could, like, I guess twenty three and me? What did you send in?

00:27:30
Speaker 5: You?

00:27:31
Speaker 6: It's been a while. I think maybe swab of my I really don't remember.

00:27:36
Speaker 3: I don't remember what I had to do. You had to spin in a test tube and send it out.

00:27:39
Speaker 4: Yeah, there, it was rub things on yourself to give them pieces of yourself.

00:27:45
Speaker 7: Wow, maybe I should have joined.

00:27:49
Speaker 5: Ran leaves DNA in other places. Okay, that's enough.

00:27:52
Speaker 4: And they ended up and you could send it in and then they would tell you like who you were related to.

00:27:57
Speaker 5: Where you're from.

00:27:58
Speaker 6: It even says like you you're likely to sleep until eight am, or you're likely to have this or do this, But.

00:28:04
Speaker 4: It would tell you like who your great great grandfather was or things like that.

00:28:08
Speaker 6: I learned the breakdown of you know what parts of the world I'm from and you know all that.

00:28:14
Speaker 4: Okay, so you could do that, and people did it. Fifteen million people sent in their DNA to twenty three and meters. Well, they've declared bankruptcy, and as part of the bankruptcy petition, the judge this is what happens when you go through bankruptcy. They take the various parts of your business and they sell them so that you can pay back all the people you owe money to.

00:28:36
Speaker 5: Right, So that's how bankruptcy works.

00:28:38
Speaker 4: So one of the things all twenty three in me really has is the name. But then they also have fifteen million people's DNA, right, and there's value in that. Like when Drew signed up, he gave away his DNA and let he probably signed a paper that said they get to keep it. So now fifteen million people DNA is for sale, and there are people worried, like, we don't know who they're gonna sell it to. They're not sure if the courts will limit. I bet the court's limit, who can bide. I don't think they're gonna let, but but you never know. So they're encouraging people. If you had a twenty three ine meter account, go delete all your DNA and you said you did it?

00:29:20
Speaker 6: Did it's I mean, it's too late, it's already out there. I hit the revoke and I don't consent to this, but I just assume it's too late for that to come back.

00:29:29
Speaker 4: So are you worried that, like people are gonna walk around and they might create little drews?

00:29:34
Speaker 6: Like no, no, I mean I'm not really that worried. But when I saw it, I mean, what had heard for me to log in and hit delete a couple of times. I'm not like paranoid about it. I can't undo it, but it is it's not a pleasant thought to know that just a random company, country, whatever could end up with fifteen million people's DNA. It's not just their DNA, I mean your whole ancestry history they have on there. There's a lot of information they find shit.

00:29:57
Speaker 5: And you're a conspiracy theory guy.

00:29:59
Speaker 4: Are you worried that some company's gonna buy up fifteen million people's DNA?

00:30:03
Speaker 5: And you know, I don't know what they're gonna do with.

00:30:06
Speaker 3: Like if you create a virus out of the DNA, I guess they could.

00:30:09
Speaker 5: I don't know.

00:30:10
Speaker 4: I guess if you knew if he had everybody's DNA. I guess you could pick vulnerabilities for a virus. Maybe if it would be real. Sinister told me I would.

00:30:19
Speaker 3: I guess if you could do like a virus. Yeah, that's concerning, But I mean, do you really need that many people's DNA? I think you could just do it with one or two, so.

00:30:26
Speaker 4: We'd example of what I've talked about for years, And you're gonna keep hearing me talk about how easily we are volunteering to give our information out, like we are consenting to give our information out so easily, and the government has already shown they're not gonna protect it like they're not, and I don't.

00:30:48
Speaker 5: Know it like I do.

00:30:50
Speaker 4: Before our generation dies, something's gonna happen. That's gonna be because of how we consented to giving all of our personal information away so we could do the Will Smith dance on TikTok or something.

00:31:06
Speaker 6: And all I really got out of it is like I get emails about an eighth cousin down the road, or that I have like a forty percent chance to go bald.

00:31:14
Speaker 5: I really didn't get I didn't really get the information. I don't even know what I was looking. So they tell you you have a eighth cousin. Oh, I get emails all the time. I should have turned those off a long time.

00:31:23
Speaker 9: Oh.

00:31:23
Speaker 6: Look, so and so in Wisconsin. Is your fifteenth cousin separated by something?

00:31:29
Speaker 5: Do you have any desire to zero people? Zero? I actually don't even want the emails. That's a good question. Do you have desire?

00:31:35
Speaker 4: Like, if you found out you had a long lost family member that was right there, would you want to know.

00:31:41
Speaker 7: Me personally? I wouldn't, but I, like my sons are all three adopted. I can see where they would maybe want to, you know, research and find I.

00:31:49
Speaker 6: Was gonna add that there's been a big reaction to the news of people saying I've actually found my sister because of this, So yes, it seems bad, but people that were actually looking.

00:31:57
Speaker 4: For relatives and I know this hasn't happened. But this is a theoretical question. Let's say you had a brother that your parents just never told you about for whatever reason, and maybe you get put it up for adoption or whatever, and now at this stage of your life, would you want to know that.

00:32:16
Speaker 7: I absolutely would want to know that, and you'd want to go meet him. I would definitely want to go.

00:32:20
Speaker 4: What if you found out, like some people did from twenty three and meters that like the person they thought was their father wasn't their father.

00:32:28
Speaker 7: It's gonna be devastating sometimes for people.

00:32:30
Speaker 4: But would you want to know that or would you rather just want to live your life? Like I didn't need to know that?

00:32:36
Speaker 7: I think me I would. I would not want to know. I would just my dad is my dad. I don't care if the DNA test says he's not the guy who raised me is my dad?

00:32:45
Speaker 5: Okay, what about you? Would you want to know? Yeah?

00:32:48
Speaker 6: I mean if I found out a brother heck yeah, well brother, we got years to catch up.

00:32:52
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, what would you do?

00:32:55
Speaker 5: I don't need to know anything? Like, if life is good, why do you want to add complications to it? Not I saying I really would? I mean, what do you have in common with this guy DNA?

00:33:06
Speaker 4: Okay, so you all share blood, but like maybe if you didn't grow up.

00:33:10
Speaker 5: I mean, what I come over for video games is a dad of adopted kids.

00:33:15
Speaker 4: More than anything, what it means to have a brother, It's not really sharing your blood with them.

00:33:20
Speaker 5: It's the life experiences that you had.

00:33:23
Speaker 4: I mean, if I meet a person at this age, I feel like it's just gonna be like awkward.

00:33:27
Speaker 7: Well, that's why I think you're the good The best person asked his question. Because you're an only child, would you wish you maybe you'd had a brother? This may be a way you can find it alas brother, Like, do I wish.

00:33:38
Speaker 5: I'd had a brother? I don't know.

00:33:39
Speaker 4: I mean I felt like everything went pretty well as it was. I think I am closer to my friends because I don't have a sibling.

00:33:48
Speaker 5: It makes it to where you form, like.

00:33:49
Speaker 7: On those relationship bonds a little stronger.

00:33:51
Speaker 4: Anyway, just so you know, everybody's gonna have your DNA. If you went to twenty three and meters and there's gonna be little Drew's right around earth.

00:33:58
Speaker 5: Who's going to do that?

00:34:00
Speaker 3: Let's go to Chris.

00:34:01
Speaker 5: Chris, go ahead, Chris.

00:34:03
Speaker 10: Hey, Matt, first time log time? Who are I'm a fellow Democrat and lifelong UK fan and I just had a couple of comments, one about UK and one about U of L. Well, quickly I loved it, loved this team and almost forgot how much fun March Madness could be Greg graduated from UK in nineteen ninety size there there in the scandal as well as well as Patino's first season, and with the UFL and Patino bouncing back this season, I've been thinking about how most of the major players besides Andre McGee have had some kind of positive uh since the various scandals. UFL is back to being a winning program, Katino is having a career in hisience, Katina Powell wrote a book, and Aaron Seipher experienced the best fifteen seconds every life.

00:34:54
Speaker 5: All right, all right, I appreciate where it was going for that joke.

00:34:58
Speaker 4: I you know, it is interesting, how think about this, Remember the Adidas, the FBI scandal and all that. Yes, do you remember who all the major players were in that Virtually all of them have had their careers skyrocket. Rick Patino, Sean Miller is the new coach at Texas, Will Wade is a new coach at nc State. All these guys who were part of a scandal that seemed like this major scandal, they're all seeing their careers flourished because basically what was illegal is now legal. I mean something that was just like an FBI investigation five years ago is now legal.

00:35:35
Speaker 6: Yeah, they were just ahead of everything, getting some practice in PAM players before it became the norm across the board. Wade, it was crazy when his wife like writing personal checks.

00:35:44
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's making She was making big asses for them. That was the best part of all of it.

00:35:49
Speaker 4: Volunteers of America Mid States is part of Volunteers of America for one hundred and twenty five years. They're America's oldest nonprofit helping hand They served two million people a year, housing veterans, shelter justice, helping people recover from substance abuse. They have a new location in Louisville in downtown. Voamid dot org. To learn more, voamid dot org. It is Volunteers of America in Kentucky. We'll take a break and come back. Final segment. It's ksr Oo Box sister line, Welcome back, tell you Sports Radio.

00:36:29
Speaker 5: I love this song. As Shannon knows.

00:36:31
Speaker 4: Uh if I'm nine, twenty two eighty seven, Kentucky and uh Tennessee will be the early game Friday night.

00:36:37
Speaker 5: So that's good. Uh we uh. I was a little surprised at that, but I guess that's how they worked it out. TBS.

00:36:44
Speaker 4: UH wanted the early game, so we will be the early game with which is good between the postgame show won't end in the middle of the night, and Uh, if we were to beat Tennessee, there's nothing better than if you win the early game and then you can watch the second game and like you don't have a dog in the fight. You can just enjoy the Purdue Houston game if we win. I'm pulling for Purdue, even though they'll have a lot of fans. I just think we have a lot better chance of beating Perdue than we do a beating Houston. Who are Houston's like us, but better? I mean, like literally, they're old guys, a little better offensively, better defeated like Houston's just us drew just a better version of us.

00:37:18
Speaker 6: Yeah, before he even got the bracket out, I didn't want Houston, And when I did get it, even though Kentucky's in the region, I have Houston winning at all I get past Tennessee and then whatever happens in the lead day, I'm cool with.

00:37:29
Speaker 4: Sweet sixteen starts tomorrow. We're gonna be there tomorrow morning. We'll actually be on the air during the first game, which is a Dare County and Bowling Green.

00:37:36
Speaker 5: But I have a fact for you.

00:37:37
Speaker 4: We'll pick all the games tomorrow, but I have fact for you about the Sweet sixteen. Okay, I think there's something similar to this in football, but we're doing it again here tore Ashland plays Callaway County. Yes, Now, if you look at a map, Ashland is on one far end of the state and Calloway County is on the other far.

00:37:59
Speaker 5: End of the state. Yes, like you, you couldn't get two schools farther apart. But here's the stat.

00:38:05
Speaker 4: Ashland is sixty miles closer to Canada than it is to Calloway County.

00:38:12
Speaker 5: I believe it Isn't that it's crazy.

00:38:15
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's well, because it's got to be at least what what five hours to get to Calloway County from Ashland.

00:38:22
Speaker 5: Oh it's more than more than five hours than that. I mean it's at least six.

00:38:28
Speaker 4: I can not leave the state, but Ashland can get to Canada.

00:38:34
Speaker 5: And get to Calloway County. That's crazy.

00:38:36
Speaker 6: I feel like this is a Ron Lemon instead of the Day. Haven't you shared something similar? Like there was something like that for football?

00:38:42
Speaker 4: Raceland played Like I don't know what Mayfield or something was.

00:38:47
Speaker 5: It was something like that.

00:38:49
Speaker 7: It was Yeah, it's crazy that can happen.

00:38:51
Speaker 6: I mean, callaway far West. I remember Madisonville played Paintsville maybe in football, and it wasn't quite as far, but it felt like such a disadvantage.

00:38:58
Speaker 4: So if you come here for the Sweet sixteen, come on out to the bar. We have all kinds of things going on over the course of these three days, and we will have all the games. Yes, we will have all the games on the on the big screens here on Prep Spin, So we will have all the Sweet sixteen games for you.

00:39:13
Speaker 5: Who's up next? Bill? Bill?

00:39:14
Speaker 9: Go ahead, Bill, Hey, Matt, this first time taller. Who I want to talk about? First of all, with Duke, They've got a class down there and teaches you how to be a jerk. You know, That's why Hurley's such a jerk.

00:39:34
Speaker 5: He didn't go to do No, he didn't. He didn't go to Duke Danny Hurley.

00:39:38
Speaker 4: Bobby Hurley went to do Danny Hurley went to Seaton Hall or something like that.

00:39:43
Speaker 9: Yeah, but he read his notes right. You're the most consistent Ryan, You're the most consistent person on your show. I love you. You're just great.

00:39:55
Speaker 7: I appreciate it because mar Marrile says, I'm not very consistent.

00:40:00
Speaker 9: Oh you're You're the most consistently entertaining person on the SHI.

00:40:04
Speaker 5: That's very nice, Uh, my dad, yeah.

00:40:07
Speaker 9: Uh. The one thing real quick is, uh, you know you you all do these tours and stuff. Be nice if you had a rifle just to win a slot in your offs tour, you know, to ride along weekend and do all that stuff. It's great. It's so entertaining when you all do that.

00:40:23
Speaker 5: Well, thank you very much. Yeah, go ahead, no, you go ahead, all right.

00:40:31
Speaker 9: The last thing I want to say is, uh, I listened to the postgame show the other night, and when you what you ended with that thing about being a Kentucky fan brought tears to my eyes because it was so true. You need I know it's out there that Mario tweeted it out, but it needs the fans out there know, to get to listen to that. That was fantastic. Brought tears to my eyes, and I'm proud to be a UK fan because of it.

00:40:58
Speaker 5: Thank you very much, sir.

00:40:59
Speaker 4: I appreciate that's very nice, and I both and I appreciate the call. That's I do believe that. I think you know, I think that this this whole fan base and this whole entuchy, this is a great time of year. This week is a great week because after you've made it past the second round, your chances of like flopping in the tournament have kind of gone away, unless you're like the twenty fifteen team, where like success is nothing but a national championship. Usually if you get the second weekend, even if you lose, it happens. So this week has always been one of my favorite weeks because it's just happiness and excitement.

00:41:36
Speaker 5: You know.

00:41:37
Speaker 4: This is when you get the final four week there's the pressure of oh, we need to win the national championship or whatever. But this week is is always exciting and we just haven't We haven't had it since twenty nineteen, and it's awesome Drew to get to feel it once again.

00:41:49
Speaker 6: Yeah, you've removed any chance of a heartbreaking upset. I mean, we don't want to lose the balls, but they are the better seed. They're four and a half point favorite. You know, most people are gonna pick them to win, so at this point you've at least odds are the worst case scenario other than the fact it is a rival that you have to play.

00:42:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, well DraftKings that you can bet the n I t it's going on and it's going all right. We had quite a game during our off times of who won this n I game. No one was good at it.
