Speaker 3: I wish, Shannon, we had the cameras on and the MIC's on during the last few minutes.

00:01:21
Speaker 2: Well, I wish we didn't have the miikes on because I'd be hitting that red button a lot.

00:01:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. There were a lot of curse words coming out, so we couldn't have done that. You know. My Ryan Myron is one of my has become one of my really good friends. But sometimes Sunday morning he wakes up grumpy, does he Yeah? He does for the ESPN show. And sometimes I'm grumpy, but like he's sometimes he's grumpy more.

00:01:41
Speaker 5: Yeah.

00:01:41
Speaker 3: And the way we do that show is is our producer has a rundown of topics. It's not like this show where we can just add lib. They make you know what you're gonna talk them. Sure, now, sometimes I'll DEVI eight. But they have a thing, so he'll give it to us the night before. In theory, Drew, we're supposed to look at it the night before when Kentucky's playing on Saturday. I looking at it till Sunday Bourne. I don't think Myron ever looks at it. So then we get there, We're supposed to get on at nine thirty for a ten o'clock show. I'll work with the producer, we'll change some stuff. But sometimes Myron will log on at like nine to fifty three and then be like, let's do this and say that, and I'm like, it's too late. Yeah, you could have done that at nine thirty. And we'll argue right up until the thing starts, and then we're like, hey, Sonny.

00:02:24
Speaker 4: It met mine, like you have no idea of what's just happened.

00:02:30
Speaker 3: So in here, just a minute ago, we had quite a conversation with Billy and Ryan. I think you and Drew were on my side, right, Yes, it was all of us against Billy. So here was the conversation. And I'd like to hear what the general public thinks about this. This is probably a generational thing. I think it definitely is. He was talking about the plane crash in Toronto, when the plane was flipped over right, and he said, how did we get on it? He was like, somebody was mad at the guy for using the film for so everybody's seen the video of the people trying to escape and the guy's holding up his phone right right, And did Billy say one of the people got mad at him? Is that right?

00:03:11
Speaker 6: I can't remember how we got there?

00:03:12
Speaker 7: How we got are They discussed it on the pre show and I think somebody maybe have texted Billy or something.

00:03:17
Speaker 6: Okay, that was like ten bad words ago. Okay, I've already forgotten.

00:03:20
Speaker 3: But anyway, he was like, I don't understand why people would get upset. If I'm in a plane crash, I'm filming everything. And I went, you wouldn't film me. I was like, if I'm in a plane crash and I'm distraught, I'm not letting you. You can't film somebody's face. Like, film yourself if you want. But this dude the video, he's like looking around and filming everybody in the plane. People upside down, people are upside down, people are trying to get off the plane, and dude is standing there filming. And I was like, I'd be livid at you if you were filming me in a moment of distress. And he was like, why I'm filming this? Is this is a big thing. I'm like, yeah, so get off the plane so we cannot explode. But he was like, no, you have to you film when this happens. And I was like, there's the generational divide right there. There's the generational divide. Something happens. Older people are like, get me off this plane and let me have my privacy in a moment of distraughtness, and younger people are.

00:04:27
Speaker 4: Like, whoo, who views coming right?

00:04:30
Speaker 3: Yeah?

00:04:31
Speaker 6: I mean of my friend group, I'm the one that's out taking pictures and videos we don't really need.

00:04:35
Speaker 4: I'm like the dad of the group.

00:04:36
Speaker 6: But if a plane's upside down, I don't care where my phone is. Get off this plane as fast as you can.

00:04:41
Speaker 3: You don't know, and like it's like, you got to get off the plane. Take my phone. I don't need it.

00:04:47
Speaker 2: There are people who have literally walked off a cliff to their death just to get some views on social media because they weren't paying attention.

00:04:54
Speaker 8: They were on their phone the entire time. But think about it, let's just put yourself in your house. Okay, you're sitting there. Well, first of all, when the plane is strapped, it's upside down, how are you getting down. Presumably you have a seat belt on. Are you just falling on your head unbuckling he's down.

00:05:10
Speaker 7: Yeah, you got to unbuckle and then try to brace yourself for a little bit of a fall there.

00:05:14
Speaker 2: Sure, you're grabbing onto something with one hand and unbuckling with the other and hoping that you can somehow.

00:05:19
Speaker 3: And hoping you can flip over. Okay, but would you agree you're in a sense of vulnerability yours ever?

00:05:26
Speaker 4: Sensible?

00:05:27
Speaker 3: You still don't know if the plane's gonna explode, right, Yeah, Yeah, they're holding that thing down outside to keep it from getting work. I'm sitting there, I'm hanging from the from the ceiling. I'm trying to get down, also trying to get off as quickly as possible because I don't know what's gonna happen. Presumably I'm in trauma because I thought I was going to die, right, you would think that when this happened. Sure, and Billy are Sports pulls his cell phone out and he starts filming it like I'm not gonna handle that well, are you?

00:06:05
Speaker 9: No?

00:06:06
Speaker 5: I'm telling you, listen, dude, put your flipping phone down and help me get down.

00:06:09
Speaker 3: He's getting close. Shit, and you're worried about him cussing. He's getting worked up.

00:06:13
Speaker 7: Get me down, help me get down, put the phone down, and get me out of here.

00:06:17
Speaker 3: But he was like, I'm going to keep it on. And then he got into like this Billy hasn't done this in a while. When he gets like Billy confidence, Billy confidence. The same thing that the first time I was on here was like, of course Jennifer Lawrence would date me.

00:06:32
Speaker 4: He had a little bit of that.

00:06:34
Speaker 3: He I was like, well, I would punch you in the face and he'd be like, no, you wouldn't. And I was like, I'm not gonna I mean, but somebody would. And he was like, I don't care. Let him fight him. And I'm like, all right, we said I'm gonna fight. I've been in fights. I was like, you are little, and he was like, I'm scrappy and like but he wasn't kidding. He was like, Billy was now ready to fight the people on this, you know, presumed plane somewhere like.

00:07:01
Speaker 4: I couldn't believe it.

00:07:02
Speaker 3: But it goes to show there's a certain generation that kind of feels like they have to take a picture of everything, have to document every moment of their lives.

00:07:12
Speaker 6: I don't even have a good arm. But there's no limit to how far that phone would go after I threw it once I stepped out of the plane. I mean it would still be sliding down. Were waiting to get out, and he's standing at the door filming.

00:07:22
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, the stewardesses are all yelling at people, leave your stuff, get out, leave your stuff, get out, and you got somebody standing there with his phone recording everything.

00:07:30
Speaker 3: Now with that said, I watched the video, right, because that's what you and there's this part of the dichotomies. We all agree dudes shouldn't be filming. At the same time, we all want to see the film.

00:07:39
Speaker 5: It's something we all were attracted to.

00:07:41
Speaker 3: So I mean it's that's you know, take Up for Billy. That's the mindset of everybody wants to see. And I'm sure that guy ended up on television because he had the film. I mean, I the incentives are bad, but I just and I told him, apparently that video is like three minutes long because the dude filmed the entire plane and then like CNN in these places where like like blurred everybody's face out and only showed you the part that didn't have anybody's face in it, but he filmed everybody, and I'd be like, what do you do in that moment?

00:08:16
Speaker 4: I think that's rude.

00:08:18
Speaker 6: Yeah, Also, please get off the plane. We don't know that we're still safe.

00:08:21
Speaker 3: Like again far as I can, who hadn't gotten off the plane it explodes because he was there filming it.

00:08:29
Speaker 7: And you know, some of these folks probably, like you said, they're so vulnerable, upset, emotional. You don't want everybody to see you in your worst emotional state.

00:08:38
Speaker 3: Totally agree, which gets me now also in terms since we're doing the generation thing, Tomrio going on campus. Just yeah, so that video is really really good.

00:08:48
Speaker 5: It's really good.

00:08:49
Speaker 3: It's really good. He talked to a bunch of UK students. He added Mark Pope, Yes, so he had Pope, which I was, which ended up I think being a good decision. Mark Pope, Rick Patino, Andy Basheer, Dave Portnoy and Michael kick Gilker. Correct. Now. My only minor criticism is that was a wasn't the best Michael kick Gilchris photo. But it also wasn't a great Andy Basher photo either, So like you, you know, but Michael Ki Grill Gilchris. When I think of him, I think of him smiling, and he wasn't smiling. I'm not sure it would have mattered with that crew though I don't either. Spencer Dinwittie Spencer Dinwi so he he interviews them all. The final order looked to be Pope was known the most, although one person called him.

00:09:34
Speaker 10: Tom Pope, Tom Pope, Tom Pope by Well, you can see all this on the KSR social media pages Twitter, uh TikTok, Instagram, et cetera.

00:09:46
Speaker 4: Rick Patino was second. A little surprised at that.

00:09:50
Speaker 7: Yeah, it looked like all the guys that he did all new Patino.

00:09:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it seems Patino was second. Then what Portnoy was third? Or was Basher third? They were clothes Portnoy was third. It was interesting all the white dudes knew Portnoy, whereas all the women and black dudes knew Basher but didn't know Portnoy. Yeah, so there's your divide, right, like there's your all the frat bros no Portnoy. What are the black dudes called Andy brother? And it is my favorite part, that Andy Brother Andy? But then that the shackers that not one person couldn't they mind?

00:10:28
Speaker 5: Not one person?

00:10:29
Speaker 6: Zero zero A texted Mario last night, said, great video. I'm heartbroken for Michael kid Gilchrist. We should have done someone else. We shouldn't have done it to him, I mean nobody. But that's my point, Okay, So it hurt to watch. First of all, when I think of old school UK fans, all right, so I'm just gonna use because everybody lives their life through their centerpiece of what they think is normal, right, I think old school fans immediately tell me someone from the rough era.

00:11:00
Speaker 3: They'll be like, I've been watching this Cotton nash lewid damp day Issle and that's like, okay, that's an old fan, yeah right right. And then there's like the kind of older fans that'll start with like joe By Hall players, Yeah, Kevin Green, Jack, Kyle Macy, you know. Yes, then there's like just a little older than me. And then they'll be like.

00:11:24
Speaker 4: Rich Chapman and the best player it ever walked the street to.

00:11:29
Speaker 3: Kentucky, Jamal Mashburn, right, that would be those Yeah. Then like my generation we like are like oh when I was a little kid, mash And then you go and Twan Walker and Derrick Anderson, Scott Patrick, et cetera. And then there'll be a Prince Bogan's generation, and then it's like the cal generation. The fact that there are kids on the college campus now who for them, Michael Kidd Gilchrist is too old to know? Wow, that's all that is like an eye opening Wow, right.

00:12:06
Speaker 5: Makes me feel old.

00:12:07
Speaker 7: We realized that was thirteen years ago and these kids are in college now were kindergarten.

00:12:11
Speaker 5: I have no idea who the twenty twelve.

00:12:13
Speaker 3: I mean twenty ten when Cow got here to let's say twenty seventeen, Michael Kick Gilgers. If you're talking about when they were here, who was the most popular? John Walls probably first, then maybe Tyler Eulss, but Michael Kick Gilger is in the top five. People loved Michael Kid Gilky. Yes they did, Yeah, one of them. Can you believe it?

00:12:38
Speaker 6: I actually did the math on what it would have been like for me walking UK's campus and if someone stopped me, maybe I paid a closer attention than the random people Mario grabbed. But it would have been like the ninety four to ninety fiveteen I think I would have been able to name the whole roster.

00:12:52
Speaker 3: Me too, like Bro, It's the equivalent of when I was in college. If somebody showing me a picture of Rex, of course I would know who Rex Chapman is. Easy you tell me, I'm not gonna know who Wreck.

00:13:02
Speaker 6: Show me, Jammel Martinez, show me John like any of them.

00:13:05
Speaker 3: I was very surprised because clearly Mario talked to some people that were basketball fans. I mean, the guy who mentioned Spencer din Witty knows enough basketball to mention Spencer Dinwitty, and he can't know Michael Kick Gilgris. I couldn't believe it.

00:13:19
Speaker 7: Well, even when Mario would reveal who it was, they were like a couple of them like, I still don't know who that is?

00:13:26
Speaker 5: Title?

00:13:26
Speaker 3: Yeah shit, and' he won a title.

00:13:30
Speaker 2: It's crazy. I'm looking at the roster from like when I would be five years old. Rex Chapmin's on that team. I would recognize Rex Chapman.

00:13:39
Speaker 3: Would you recognize Ed Davender I would have as a kid, Winston Bennett, I would have recognized win.

00:13:47
Speaker 2: I don't know if I know exactly what he looks like. Sehn Sutton was on that roster.

00:13:51
Speaker 3: But Michael Kick Gilgris is not Anthony Davis. But Anthony but like he was the second pick picking the draft. He's one of a high picks in the history of this school.

00:14:02
Speaker 7: Coming in before that season he was the number one recruit. It was not Anthony Davis, it was Michael Kidd.

00:14:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, I am. I was shocked by great video by Mario and it's uh. And to the girl who said Tom Pope, I mean, first of all, that was two of them working together. Yes, they showed the picture and they both just sort of laughed, and then one of them goes, he's the basketball coach, right. Mario's like yeah, and then she goes Pope and he's like yeah, and then she goes, Tom, just stop it.

00:14:36
Speaker 4: No reason to throw Tom in there.

00:14:38
Speaker 3: The best part of the whole.

00:14:39
Speaker 6: Video, and I said this to me and we were watching it, is Mario is so nice when they're wrong. He's like, ooh, that's not Spencer did witty.

00:14:45
Speaker 3: So we have Tom. We have to do this again. And I'm doing it because I'm making fun of him. You're so nice. But if somebody looked at me and said Tom Pope, I'd have to be like, all right, come on now, Tom, you'd be a good game show host.

00:14:59
Speaker 4: You made him feel good. He made him feel good.

00:15:02
Speaker 3: You're you're, you're, you were very nice. If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven Cats and Vandy tonight, We'll get you ready for the game, right for this ksong, it's a great song you're playing. This is you know, Tom Petty Top free artists. For me, it's like Johnny Cash, Tyler Childers and Tom Petty of Tom Petty songs. It's a top three song for me, Shan the Waiting, learning to Fly, and then I have to think about what the third one is. But this one, this is a great song. It's a great song to play, like when you're going through a change, like in your life, right like whatever your next step is. I remember playing this on my way from law school to take the clerkship on the DC circuit, really, which I was so nervous about because that was gonna be like the hardest job, and I ended up really disliking my judge. But like, I'm like, I'm going to like with the smartest people in the country. And I remember playing this on the drive from from Durham to DC going like all right, here we go, we go. You know, I'm learning to fly, and I'm not as smart as these people. So here we go.

00:16:12
Speaker 6: You don't have the windows down when you're listening to this too, Yeah, it's just a good windows great So I've played.

00:16:16
Speaker 4: This a bunch at various times in my life. Tom Petty is just the best.

00:16:21
Speaker 5: Can I read you something supportive Billy?

00:16:23
Speaker 4: All right, I'm gonna read you read that, and I'm gonna read you something not Insupportabilly.

00:16:26
Speaker 5: Billy is a journalist wars.

00:16:29
Speaker 4: And first of all, no, he's not a journalist.

00:16:31
Speaker 3: No, he's not here. Let's not that.

00:16:32
Speaker 4: You can't just throw that word around. Billy is not a journalist, all right, go ahead.

00:16:36
Speaker 7: Wars and tragedies need to be documented, even when it's hard to do. That's how we learn from them and hopefully don't repeat the mistakes war.

00:16:43
Speaker 3: First of all, Billy's not a journalist. Billy is a person on a plane.

00:16:46
Speaker 2: Not a pilot either. What do you mean, repeat the same mistake?

00:16:50
Speaker 3: But Billy's gonna make it the way he doesn't flip next time. No, okay, there's something to that argument, except when you're in the emergency of getting out. Yeah, okay. If he's out and then films it. I still think it's rude. I do. I've often wondered when you watch war documentaries, is there ever a part of you that's like, I'm sitting here looking at somebody that may have just like blown up?

00:17:16
Speaker 5: Absolutely all the time.

00:17:18
Speaker 3: Now. The difference, though, is in a war a soldier has is a part of history at that moment. These are unwilling parts. When you're a soldier. You get into war, either volunteer or maybe you were drafted. These people didn't ask to be on a plane crash. They didn't ask to be part of the news. Yeah, right, I mean, let's put it like this. Let's take the flooding. You see somebody drowning. Let's say you can't save it. Are you feeling them? No?

00:17:51
Speaker 4: No, absolutely no, No, how's this different?

00:17:57
Speaker 5: At the time, it's not different.

00:17:59
Speaker 2: Well, nobody's actively dying.

00:18:00
Speaker 3: But you don't know could.

00:18:03
Speaker 4: I mean the thing could still fly, this thing could still blow up.

00:18:07
Speaker 5: So they could have a heart attack hanging there.

00:18:10
Speaker 3: Anything.

00:18:10
Speaker 2: In that case, you should never film because anything could happen in that moment.

00:18:13
Speaker 3: But I mean, you're in a you're in an extreme situation. It's not like you're just like so you know, now here's a different one. Man. I've worked for Delta for six years as a flight attendant before moving to operations. Billy is a moron. The goal is stack of evacuate the plane as quickly as you said. Getting your phone out and filming shows a complete lack of care for others and will slow the evacuation. Billy's opinion is representative of a greater societal entitlement than people have.

00:18:39
Speaker 2: Shame on Billy, same shame, shame.

00:18:43
Speaker 7: So what is the age where we we think that way and don't think like Billy.

00:18:48
Speaker 3: I think it's people who had phones from the moment they I had this conversation with a friend of mine the other night and his wife. My age is the worst because we grew up without it, then got put into a world where it has to be part of our lives. But we didn't grow up with it, so it's still uncomfortable. But it's like has to be part of our lives.

00:19:14
Speaker 5: Huh.

00:19:15
Speaker 3: My parents are not on their phones at all, really, right, right? They live a world without it, but now there's a generation that it is their world. I actually think that's sad, but regardless, that's what it is. And I think for those people, the idea of not filming every moment of your life seems completely foreign. Yeah.

00:19:35
Speaker 4: And Billy's at the oldest.

00:19:36
Speaker 3: Of that generation. Would you agree. Yeah?

00:19:39
Speaker 6: And I don't have a problem with you're out, You're one hundred yards away and you're filming the plane as they're hosing it down, and you've made it. But in that moment, like the person that chimed in from Delta, we're trying to get people off as fast as possible. I mean, there's a truck outside hosing down that plane, hoping it doesn't get any worse. We don't need you on your phone.

00:19:56
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:19:56
Speaker 6: And if Billy wants to fight, I wouldn't tell them knuckle up.

00:19:59
Speaker 3: Here another way. I've listened to the pre show every day. I like Billy and Shannon. Billy could not fight my grandmother. If he wants to fight, set it up. I'll be glad to fight him for charity. I'm not letting Billy fight anyone because he will lose.

00:20:14
Speaker 6: He never raised Ryan Timms. He could fight his grandmother. Let's set it up.

00:20:19
Speaker 3: Another person rides Matt. It broke my heart that you didn't no one know who MKG was. Would they know other UK players. All right, let's let's try this. I think that generation who would college kids know by.

00:20:33
Speaker 4: Face at UK right now? John Wall?

00:20:37
Speaker 5: Yes, I'm the percentage is down.

00:20:41
Speaker 3: He's been on TikTok that that little intro from Kentucky six for joy Wah with him doing the tick like like, I think people who don't even know John Wall know that intro.

00:20:52
Speaker 4: It's online all the time.

00:20:55
Speaker 5: A little bit of fifty.

00:20:56
Speaker 2: Sports fans too. Though you got to keep in mind not everybody on campus is.

00:20:59
Speaker 4: A sport, that's true, but John Wall is a little more.

00:21:02
Speaker 3: And I'm telling you there would be people who don't know anything about sports who know that line because it's like it's a thing like people are going out to a bar and they're dressed up like either in a suit or like a woman's in a dress, and they think they look good. They play the intro of six four from Kentucky. John what like that's yeah?

00:21:22
Speaker 5: You play the video that man? Will you just show a headshot of him?

00:21:25
Speaker 4: So you don't think many would know that was.

00:21:27
Speaker 5: Fifteen years ago? These kids were five.

00:21:29
Speaker 4: Fair enough if you don't think so. DeMarcus Cousins, No.

00:21:32
Speaker 6: No, God, this game's are making me so sad, But you say, no.

00:21:36
Speaker 3: They know know Michael ky Gilgris with you.

00:21:40
Speaker 4: They will know Anthony Davis.

00:21:41
Speaker 3: Because he's still good, still playing. Still know Anthony Davis Harrison Twins show. Let's say he showed his one of them.

00:21:49
Speaker 4: Harrison No, no, no chance.

00:21:51
Speaker 3: Merlin's Noel with the big.

00:21:53
Speaker 4: Box come No, no nope.

00:21:56
Speaker 6: Willie cary Stein No, maybe because he was just here on the tvt But if not the TBT, No Carl, they know.

00:22:05
Speaker 5: He's still very Would they know Tyler you?

00:22:08
Speaker 3: Well?

00:22:08
Speaker 6: I told Mario last night we were texting and we both said we should have done Tyler Elis and get it instead of go Chris.

00:22:13
Speaker 3: He's a little more recent. And don't you think they would know Tyler? You ad know? I think a lot would not. I think more would know than Michael kit Gilchrist.

00:22:23
Speaker 7: Especially if you show him in these playing days when he had the short cut. Now he's got the dreads.

00:22:26
Speaker 6: Oh you played with the dreads Arkansas shirt?

00:22:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, one's gonna know it. No, we used to be a proper big blue nation.

00:22:34
Speaker 3: It is amazing and it also shows you that, like you know, for these kids, UK basketball is Oscar Sheebwey and Rob Dillingham and Reed Sheppard.

00:22:46
Speaker 6: Amen, what a what a sad existence as a fan, but not a lot of winning in that area.

00:22:50
Speaker 4: It is amazing. All right, we will talk to you k and he take your calls right for this.

00:22:55
Speaker 3: TJ. Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ.

00:22:58
Speaker 4: He'll make them pay.

00:22:59
Speaker 2: Now of Kentucky Sports Radio present it by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.

00:23:04
Speaker 4: Walking back Turkey Sports Radio.

00:23:06
Speaker 3: Kentucky is a five and a half point favorite tonight against Vandy. A little small but considering the roster, probably about right.

00:23:17
Speaker 4: But it's not a huge number.

00:23:19
Speaker 5: Run, No, it's not.

00:23:21
Speaker 7: I think they do take it into account that they don't have Butler and Robinson.

00:23:25
Speaker 3: They are officially out by the way, Yeah, they're not playing.

00:23:29
Speaker 6: I'll be honest. I was not going to touch this game. And then I saw that number. I can only my reaction is what it was. I thought that's very low. I thought that was a little number. I thought it was gonna be eight or nine.

00:23:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, if we win, I think it'll be more than about five and a half.

00:23:41
Speaker 2: I mean, I think the roster though, I mean the team.

00:23:44
Speaker 3: We beat Tennessee, but we beat Tennessee with that Rosterandy with that roster though, well we but it was there and that's a different you know. I mean that there's a huge difference between home and away.

00:23:56
Speaker 2: Oh, I agree with that.

00:23:56
Speaker 3: I just especially especially at Vandy where Vandy, if you just look at their record this year, has been a completely different team at home in a way, which is why, by the way, you gotta win like Vandy's not. Have they won a game on the road yet, Shannon, Yeah, yeah.

00:24:09
Speaker 2: I mean they were up about sixteen in Knoxville blew lost. Yeah, that's what I told you that.

00:24:14
Speaker 4: I mean, have they won any SEC road games yet?

00:24:17
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think one one. So like, so, you can't lose this game tonight, Ryan, that's the key. We don't even care LSU. So I don't even care if you win one game by one point, you have to win.

00:24:28
Speaker 7: You had them beat a Vanderbilt where they're up what's seven, and then just collapsed down the stretch what we just did against Texas, collapsed down there.

00:24:35
Speaker 3: And I don't think Butler played at Vandy, did he. We had someone was out that's where you got hurt. Okay, yeah, we had someone out during.

00:24:42
Speaker 6: That game that was one of the first. That was early in SEC that's when Carr was first out.

00:24:47
Speaker 3: Car was one of the first games Shannon's right car was out, Butler got hurt during the game. I think that's right, ye, So you know, gotta win. That's all I can say about the games. You gotta win. I mean, you got six game games left, and you got three at home. We got LSU and Vandy at home. You gotta win those two games.

00:25:05
Speaker 5: Yep, you have to.

00:25:06
Speaker 3: You're gonna lose Alabama, You're probably gonna lose Auburn. In a perfect world, beat LSU, beat Vandy, steal one of the at Oklahoma at Missouri.

00:25:14
Speaker 4: That's where I am. Is that where you are?

00:25:17
Speaker 3: Yeah?

00:25:17
Speaker 6: I think it's gonna be three and three when you know tonight l s U and at Oklahoma.

00:25:22
Speaker 4: Oklahoma's falling apart, like we need to get that one ye.

00:25:24
Speaker 6: And I'll add the Alabama, Auburn, Missouri. I know, going three and three real stink. That will not hurt the tournament seeding. You will not really all you lost those three games. You really are in a just win what you got lose.

00:25:35
Speaker 11: Now.

00:25:35
Speaker 3: Mississippi State won last night, so we're so even more reason we got to win tonight if we don't want to have to play on Wednesday.

00:25:42
Speaker 5: Yeah, that we we hold the tiebreaker with them. But but if.

00:25:45
Speaker 3: We if we lose tonight, we don't try. So yeah, they jump you, Andy, go ahead, Andy.

00:25:52
Speaker 9: Hey, guys, I know when we started UH with Mark Pope, he talked about to start pur ties in the SEC tournament and that sounded great, and it still sounds great. So now that we're in a situation where we've got three guys hurt and we may be playing on Wednesday, how do you navigate that? And can you prioritize the vote? And I think the Group four is the easier path than the SEC Tournament. And I'll get off here with us.

00:26:21
Speaker 3: It's a great question. I think that's a very fair question. First of all, I think the final four is on. If you were to say, what's going to be easier, go to the Final four or win the SEC tournament, the answer is go to the bottle four.

00:26:35
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, easily easily. Let's just look at our path to go to the final four.

00:26:42
Speaker 3: In the last bracketology, I saw beat Chattanooga, Illinois, Perdue in Florida. Now let's look at our SEC tournament path beat Mississippi State, Auburn, Florida, Alabama.

00:27:01
Speaker 7: Wow, potent three potential number one seeds in your way to get to the SEC Championship.

00:27:08
Speaker 3: I mean four is easier.

00:27:10
Speaker 6: I think it's not even close. I mean, there are gonna be tournament teams on Wednesday of that, and there could also be a ranked team playing on Wednesday at the SCURA.

00:27:20
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying.

00:27:21
Speaker 3: I mean it could be US. I mean, I don't think there's any I don't think there's any doubt. The Arkansas loss is what leaves a mark on us, because if we'd won that game, I think we feel pretty good about getting to not have to play on Wednesday.

00:27:36
Speaker 4: But that loss, that's a sticky loss.

00:27:40
Speaker 5: In more ways than one, not just seating wise.

00:27:42
Speaker 3: But I did see that clip. Oh you did. Yeah, Jim Host says something like I don't respect people who made their fortune off cal and then turned on which is you know, well, I'm not trying to get into a Jim hosts a legend of what he did, so like, I'm not trying to get into a match of like he was the first person in America to see the value of local rights. Fees on college sports and to really, I mean from a business perspective, create he created a lot of what the modern what the SEC and these conferences bundled into TV rights. He was a big part in starting that. So shod no way downgrade that with the exception though, like you made your money, Jim on college kids playing sports too, right, you made you made a fortune on that. But regardless, and there's no doubt Cal play to role in the rise of KSR with the same point. I'm not like bag Dad Bob, And when you cover Kentucky, you can't just be like our great I mean, I can't be Sean Hannity saying our great leader never makes a mistake. That's boring too, Like, that's boring if you just want everything. But why do people want Why do people want news or opinions where everything the person they talk about does is right? Yeah, how boring is that? I heard actually Dave Portnoy, since we talked about him, say that. He was talking about Clay Travis and he was like, Clay Travis is so boring. Not because I don't agree with him a lot, he was like, but if everything Trump does is great, why am I listening to you, I can just assume that everything he did was great, So why would I listen to you talk? Similarly, if everything the coach at Kentucky does is great, no matter what, and all honor and support to him, why would you listen to this show like that would be so boring?

00:29:42
Speaker 4: So Jim host is wrong, Like respectfully, he's wrong.

00:29:46
Speaker 7: If we were not doing our job, but the last three years ago Cal's last three years, by doing our job, we had to throw out that things were not Kentucky.

00:29:55
Speaker 3: The day I learned that Lesson drew was the forty nothing game against Vanderbilt with Joker Phillips. Take take us back to that time. I'm still trying to break in. I'm doing a postgame show and Kentucky. I'm in talks with Kentucky to do their official pre and postgame show the next year. And we lose Forting to nothing in an empty crowd, and I remember going into the old WLAP studios and thinking, what do you say? Like I can't, I mean, what's positive about that? I mean, there's nothing to say. We lost Forting to nothing at home, no one was at the game, no one. What are you supposed to say? And I said I have to get on here and say that we have to fire Joker Philips. I don't want to say it, you're doing your job, but I have to say it. Drew and I had driven Joker Phillips home from the you know parties from apartment not like in a bat like a long time before, like in the summer or something like that. I didn't want to say that, but I had to. And then by the way, it cost me the gig is the pregame show host the next year. They didn't do it for a couple of years. But like, you have to do it. And the idea the people who are paid by UK to be blank slates without opinions.

00:31:16
Speaker 4: I respect them, but no, nah nah, it ain't me, babe.

00:31:21
Speaker 3: I can't do that.

00:31:23
Speaker 6: We don't have to keep revisiting this. But do people forget that if you combine the SEC and NCAA tournaments.

00:31:29
Speaker 10: Uh?

00:31:29
Speaker 6: He lost none of the last eleven postseason games. Like, what are you talking about people pushing anyone out? That's not that pushed people out.

00:31:35
Speaker 4: But we did lose.

00:31:38
Speaker 6: Five out of six games in the SEC turm.

00:31:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we may lose another one this year because of the how great the hopefully not on Wednesday. Yeah, hopefully not, Tyler. Go ahead, Kyler if I'm nine eighty seven.

00:31:51
Speaker 12: Hey, Matt, you often talk about UK making it difficult to attend games for the average fan, and I wanted to bring an issue to your attention that should start a discussion amongst the fan base.

00:32:02
Speaker 3: Quickly.

00:32:03
Speaker 12: So okay, So I know you don't have kids, but UK doesn't make it easy or affordable for new parents. So at UK football games you can purchase a lap seat for children twelve months and under for ten dollars, but at UK basketball games you have to buy a full price ticket for an infant, regardless of age.

00:32:23
Speaker 3: So so you're saying you can't bring a baby to a UK basketball game without buying them a ticket.

00:32:31
Speaker 12: Yeah, you have to buy a ticket for the baby.

00:32:34
Speaker 4: And that is that any age, Like, if it's like one month.

00:32:40
Speaker 12: One month, you have to have a ticket for that baby.

00:32:43
Speaker 3: Shannon's laughing, Why are you laughing?

00:32:45
Speaker 2: No, I mean it's still a baby. I mean it's a it's a human being.

00:32:48
Speaker 3: But what if it's not taking up a seat? And you know me, I'm not pro baby, but like, well, I.

00:32:54
Speaker 2: Mean what if you and I go and you sit on my lap, You're not taking up a seat. Shouldn't you be charged?

00:32:58
Speaker 3: I would? I feel like I should be on your lap, So that's okay. I appreciate the costs. Her interesting question, should you charge a baby for a seat? So he's saying football does it? Basketball does?

00:33:10
Speaker 4: I'm not sure. I mean, I trade take his word for it. I don't know.

00:33:13
Speaker 7: But should you charge a baby a ticket? I didn't know this, but I like the football. You pay ten dollars for a lap ticket. You sit in your parents' lap. I don't know why they can't do that for basketball.

00:33:24
Speaker 3: So then all right, so you say, yes, do a lap ticket? A lap ticket?

00:33:28
Speaker 4: How old?

00:33:29
Speaker 3: Though Shannon makes a point someone could sit in your lap for a long time, like.

00:33:33
Speaker 4: How how long?

00:33:35
Speaker 3: What's the age that you don't get to pay to sit in someone's lap?

00:33:41
Speaker 7: I think they got to be able to walk, so anywhere from twelve to fourteen.

00:33:44
Speaker 3: You have to send a set line because if you don't, people are gonna people are gonna abuse that you'll show what.

00:33:50
Speaker 4: Is the age? Twelve year old for free?

00:33:53
Speaker 3: That seems a lot, Yeah, you say twelve years old, twelve months old?

00:34:00
Speaker 6: In the world Rhyn's like Josiah, You're still twelve, so.

00:34:05
Speaker 3: You're saying you're saying one year old, so you think it one year one month by a ticket. Yes, shut up and deal.

00:34:14
Speaker 5: I okay, I'm gonna take a hot take.

00:34:17
Speaker 3: Oh no, oh there we go. Oh no, now if if Ryan, I'll tell you what. Just hold the thought. I need a break to make sure. Okay, Hey BBN. First of all, if anybody knows, I'm not saying I said, guy, but anybody knows for sure that's true. If I'm nine, two eight, twenty two, eighty seven, are you exercising more, being healthier and saving more money than These are some of the top New Year's resolutions. But what about also being to where you don't have pain? Go to Court Physical Therapy Kentucky and his leader in physical therapy for more than thirty years. Whether you're a chronic resolution breaker or someone who's serious about making a lifestyle change, go to court dot com that's Kort dot com to find a center near you. It's snowy, so there's no reason for you to not be on the phone. The only phone line I see is Bob and James down, and I'm not taking that call until we're until it so eight five nine twenty two eighty seven. I mean, I'll take it before it's over, but like I can't come back with that. Plus Ryan's hot take, this is KSR. I love this song. I know you do.

00:35:11
Speaker 4: It's perfect. It also describes me a lot.

00:35:15
Speaker 3: After I hear somebody go, you know, man, I need somebody who'll do X, Y and Z and I just want to like sing this song, aby baby listen. I mean I've warned you eight five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. All right, so we got some folks on, including a person who wants to defend Bob and Jamestown. But here are the policies for UK sports. It is exactly what that guy said. For football, you can bring a baby some the lap until they're one. Uh. For for basketball, everybody has to have a ticket. Airlines the policy is baby free until two. What should the policy be people? We'll start with the man with children. Oh wait a minute, give your hot take.

00:35:56
Speaker 5: I am I am a father, I have three boys. Don't think you should take a baby to a sporting event. I just don't.

00:36:03
Speaker 7: I never I would never take my boys when they're not young. They don't know.

00:36:07
Speaker 5: It causes a problem for you, cause a problem for the people around you.

00:36:11
Speaker 4: So no babies at any sporting event.

00:36:14
Speaker 5: So why people think that they have the need to take their kid?

00:36:17
Speaker 3: Do it? Can? I can? I amazingly be the defender of babies here because if the parents want to go, they have no other way to go for some of them unless they take their baby.

00:36:29
Speaker 7: And I know people say, Okay, a babysitter, yes you can, or babysitting, Uh, businesses you work with people. If you are so dead set on going to a game, you can find somebody to watch your baby for two.

00:36:43
Speaker 4: Okay. Do you include that with restaurants? They shouldn't go to a restaurants?

00:36:47
Speaker 5: No, I'm why not.

00:36:48
Speaker 7: What's the difference restaurants it's it's it's what it's you're eating. Well, you're going to a game, Yeah, no you're no.

00:36:58
Speaker 5: I'm just anti.

00:37:01
Speaker 3: Babies can come to the restaurant, they can't come to the games.

00:37:06
Speaker 5: That makes no logical sense.

00:37:07
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I think the only argument you could have is at a restaurant, you're at your own table with your own seats. At a game, you're all together, right next to other people.

00:37:16
Speaker 3: So I think babies. That's even me, mister, please make your baby shut up. And if you have a baby screaming in the airport, I will stare at you, even though I don't want to.

00:37:28
Speaker 4: Even me would say, you can't say they can't come.

00:37:32
Speaker 5: That's just my that's just my opinion.

00:37:34
Speaker 2: I never did it, and I hurt your chances for running mayor running.

00:37:39
Speaker 3: Is falling down every single moment. So his law is you can't come? What is your law?

00:37:47
Speaker 6: I don't agree with that at all. I would say, like, I guess probably two. What's the age where yeah, we're like you could strap them in a thing like about that size? I guess at about too they're getting a little too big, So i'd say anything under I.

00:38:01
Speaker 4: Think one is actually about.

00:38:02
Speaker 3: What I don't understand is not he is letting them do it for football not basketball. What is the argument for that? Just that the it's indoors and so they'll be louder, Like what what's.

00:38:11
Speaker 2: The I don't that's a problem, Like why I don't understand what the UK argument is to treat those differently.

00:38:17
Speaker 7: You think they would want to put the lap tickets in basketball because there's less seats, you know why if you have a baby and you have to buy a seat, that takes away a seat if somebody else could use.

00:38:29
Speaker 5: But if you use the lap rule, then that opens.

00:38:31
Speaker 7: Up a seat for somebody else, because there's fewer seats at rupt than there is.

00:38:36
Speaker 3: I'm following, but I get what you're saying.

00:38:39
Speaker 6: Some other policies. Okay, the NFL is babies are free under a year and a half, but some stadiums make you stop at a little station and get a physical ticket for just in case someone asks.

00:38:50
Speaker 2: The baby, by the way, that looks like.

00:38:54
Speaker 4: A team mother, you're gonna need a seat.

00:38:58
Speaker 6: Ticketmaster says most concerts babies are free under two.

00:39:01
Speaker 4: So two or a year and a half take concerts.

00:39:06
Speaker 2: I see little kids at Louder than Life.

00:39:09
Speaker 3: No, you don't see babies louder.

00:39:11
Speaker 4: Than Why several last year at Wow.

00:39:15
Speaker 5: You're hot their ears. It's loud yer.

00:39:18
Speaker 3: Who would have thought Ryan is the most pro kid person on this show and you are the most anti kid taking your baby to an event.

00:39:26
Speaker 6: I think you're looking at it as a guy who lives within a mile of a stadium. Say I'm on vacation with my family and we want to go see the baseball game. Does the baby stay in the hotel room?

00:39:35
Speaker 3: Uh?

00:39:35
Speaker 5: No, you don't go.

00:39:38
Speaker 6: So I just never get to see my favorite baseball team.

00:39:40
Speaker 4: Ever, I have to you're out, Mackenzie. Go ahead, and Mackenzie, Hi, Hello.

00:39:49
Speaker 11: You keep saying that we beat Tennessee with this roster. But Butler played for most of that game, and I feel like this roster played pretty well for most of the Texas games. So I feel like we've yet to see this roster play a whole game. Really well.

00:40:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they, I mean, Tennessee had cut it to one without Butler and we still pulled away in one. We want at Tennessee, and we want at Tennessee. But no, that's a fair point. Butler did get Butler did play some of that game.

00:40:12
Speaker 11: You're right, But when we were at Timnessee, didn't we have Robinson still?

00:40:17
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think so? Yeah, yeah, you're right, we did all right. Well, never mind, thank you for your facts, Mackenzie. No, No, I appreciate those. That's a fair point. Appreciate the call. Chad, go ahead, Chad.

00:40:27
Speaker 13: Hey, Matt, I'm coming from all the way from western Kentucky driving one lane snow road to come watch the Cats.

00:40:35
Speaker 3: Don't bring your baby, right, we'll be there telling you to get out.

00:40:40
Speaker 13: You know what, I got a little six year old, and I mean she said in my lap at high school games and gets in for free. I think that it should be five.

00:40:50
Speaker 3: Okay five Wow, that's it feels a little old. All right, So that is awesome. You're coming to the game, now, be careful. I'm sure the roads are like the roads in Lexington are navigable, but I would say getting here might be a little difficult.

00:41:03
Speaker 13: I'm coming at three o'clock to get some KSR wings two perfect.

00:41:08
Speaker 4: We open at three. We'll be there at four thirty.

00:41:11
Speaker 13: Hey, where are you having the pregame?

00:41:14
Speaker 3: There?

00:41:14
Speaker 4: We are, Yes, we're gonna do the pregame then.

00:41:16
Speaker 13: All right. Well, my first game ever RUP was with the Unforgettables at Tennessee when Allen.

00:41:24
Speaker 12: Houston played against US.

00:41:26
Speaker 3: Beat this crowd.

00:41:29
Speaker 13: Was it the largest crowd in rough history for a while.

00:41:31
Speaker 3: I don't know that that stat fluctuates over the years, but uh, I appreciate the call. We'll see you tonight. Beat them one oh one to forty. Tots Ofvoda had four points. Allan Houston had three. That's one of the one of the most memorable games. I am amazed that you came out so anti. It is like, if I would have thought that would have been Shannon's take, I would have been like, Oh, I'll give them a year.

00:41:53
Speaker 4: You are like, no babies. What year do kids get to come to games?

00:41:56
Speaker 7: I think I started taking my boys there probably three so for the first year years of your life.

00:42:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're just not allowed out of the house. Do you just come in a.

00:42:05
Speaker 5: Room the restaurants out. That's not to a game.

00:42:08
Speaker 2: They wouldn't remember it anyway, it too, would they.

00:42:11
Speaker 3: That's what what.

00:42:12
Speaker 4: Nake Bargazi is like.

00:42:13
Speaker 3: They're not gonna remember anything.

00:42:14
Speaker 4: Should I just chain it to the walls.

00:42:16
Speaker 3: They're not gonna remember it.
