00:01:42
Speaker 5: I'm in a good post win move.

00:01:45
Speaker 6: You're going up right, It's right.

00:01:47
Speaker 5: Babies, dogs, we just put it all together.

00:01:49
Speaker 4: We'll we'll make it work.

00:01:50
Speaker 2: Babies, dogs are Republicans. You're adjusting very.

00:01:52
Speaker 4: Place, so they're not in the same you have to put Republicans. I like, there's they've I'd say most of these people are Republicans. There's a baby and dogs.

00:02:02
Speaker 6: Rank who you'd want to be locked in a room with for twenty four hours? Those three baby dog Republican.

00:02:08
Speaker 4: Oh that's a good question. A Republican would be one depends on but like you can't you can't be wearing the hats and creating the memes. But just regular Republican. One dog, two baby three?

00:02:20
Speaker 2: Wow, All right, now we know.

00:02:23
Speaker 5: Look, the baby doesn't want me to be locked in with it either.

00:02:26
Speaker 4: It's not gonna nothing's gonna happen positively for that baby during that time. What am I gonna say to it? Just look at it and start screaming and go stop. You know, there's just there's only so much I can do. A couple of little non basketball things. The television show Severance, which I don't know if any of you have watched. I know Drew's watched it. Even if you haven't watched it. This is one of the coolest pieces of promotion I've ever seen in my life. They went to Grand Central Station.

00:02:53
Speaker 5: Yesterday in New York. Did you see this?

00:02:55
Speaker 2: Did see it?

00:02:55
Speaker 4: They went to Grandstish Central Station and they set up this glass and in the center of the station. So if you've been to Grand Central Station, just think about what it looks like in the center. They enclosed part of it with glass, and they brought the set and the people from Severance and had them in there for like an hour.

00:03:17
Speaker 5: As if it was the show.

00:03:19
Speaker 4: So they were in character, sitting at their desk at the cubicles to where it looked like you were watching them actually at work on the show, same set, same outfits, they were doing the same things. And I have to tell you, if you had just been at Grand Central Station to get your train and you came upon that.

00:03:41
Speaker 5: That would have been one of the coolest things ever.

00:03:44
Speaker 4: Just imagine whatever your favorite TV show is, if you just walked into Grand Central Station and like it was Jerry's apartment from Seinfeld was just there.

00:03:53
Speaker 5: That is what they did.

00:03:54
Speaker 4: And I thought it.

00:03:54
Speaker 2: Did you see that?

00:03:55
Speaker 6: I did? I thought that was genius promotion. I want copycats.

00:03:58
Speaker 5: That was one of the coolest things I've ever brilliant.

00:04:01
Speaker 6: I mean, you just said they had the TV show just sitting there.

00:04:04
Speaker 5: I mean it's just out.

00:04:05
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:04:05
Speaker 6: Imagine you're just going to catch your train and there's Tony Soprano and Paully and the boys and they're recruiting sopranos my favorite show. I mean, that would be just so surrill to walk in. And I'm sure it's drawn more and more attention.

00:04:16
Speaker 4: And they didn't break character, like they were in character the whole time. They were acting out of the scene. I don't know how it ended. I don't know how they got them out of there, but the videos I saw, I thought that was maybe the coolest piece of promotion for a TV show because the second season that's coming that I've ever seen brilliant.

00:04:32
Speaker 2: I mean, you guys have talked about I kind of want to see it, but now I really want to see it.

00:04:35
Speaker 4: Just just that's on social media. Just google Severance Grand Seal Station. You'll see it. Second thing, one of my biggest complaints of day to day modern life is maybe gonna get fixed. Are you ready? Now?

00:04:49
Speaker 5: I understand why they did this, but everybody knows.

00:04:52
Speaker 4: If you go to a CVS or a Walgreens, what's the biggest change in the last three or four years, everything's locked up, right, Like everything you have to get somebody, You have to hit a button and they have to come.

00:05:04
Speaker 5: And like you can't get razor blades.

00:05:06
Speaker 4: You may see I shaved much less now because I don't want to buy the razor blades.

00:05:11
Speaker 5: It takes too long to get the person to come and unlock them.

00:05:14
Speaker 4: Et cetera. Now, the reason they did that, they say, is because they were getting a lot of theft in some of their stores. People were just coming and grabbing a bunch and leaving. The CEO of Walgreens did an interview yesterday where he said, we screwed up. He goes, it's made it worse. He said, yes, we cut down on theft, but now people don't buy it because they don't want to wait for us to come and let them in. He said, So we would have been better off just allowing some of the theft because it has hurt ourselves much more locking everything up. So now they're going to go back to unlocking everything again, which probably will lead to some theft.

00:05:51
Speaker 5: I'm sure, But now he's right. I buy less things.

00:05:57
Speaker 4: At Walgreens and CBS because I don't want to wait for him to come and unlock the thing.

00:06:02
Speaker 6: I'm also guilty go walk and get something. It's usually razor blades on the always.

00:06:07
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:06:08
Speaker 6: You look at it, and you look over and there's one person. They have a line of six people with the cash here. It's like, well it looks like I'm not shaving today. I'll just get on out here. All Amazon that to the house. That's exactly right.

00:06:16
Speaker 4: Like you, you go to a store in parts so you can get it and get out.

00:06:21
Speaker 5: And they've made so many steps.

00:06:23
Speaker 4: I thought to myself, I have bought less stuff at CBS and Walgreens because of this, And now it's been confirmed. They said it's hurt their sales significantly more than the thefts did originally.

00:06:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're obviously not alone. That the good outweighs the bad man. They need to sell more product.

00:06:39
Speaker 5: I feel like you though it would be somebody that waited.

00:06:42
Speaker 4: I do Wait.

00:06:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought you're gonna say Steels, No.

00:06:46
Speaker 5: Why do you you're hurry?

00:06:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just not in a hurry.

00:06:51
Speaker 5: You don't everywhere to be.

00:06:52
Speaker 2: No, I got nowhere, I got nothing to do.

00:06:54
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I'm too impatient. So I was glad to see that. I'm glad to see that changes occurring. Said in the Walgreens, they're gonna start unlocking pretty much everything here.

00:07:01
Speaker 2: Wow.

00:07:02
Speaker 6: I can't remember which of the brands of those oys in recently, but it felt like half the store was locked up.

00:07:07
Speaker 4: Do you go to New York If you're in New York City. I don't know if any of you ever had to go to a CBS or Walgreens in New York, the whole store is locked up, the whole store, like you can't get anything, and and it's just one or two people just taking their key around and just unlocking everything. Yep.

00:07:22
Speaker 6: Actually that's what I was in Portland, Maine. It's the bigger cities where we're just everything's locked down, but it's a huge inconvenience.

00:07:27
Speaker 2: One of our we just stopped on our trip somewhere. We went into one of those stores and it was like, I think I went in to get some cold medicine or advil, and everything was locked up, up and down all the entire aisle.

00:07:36
Speaker 6: No more open, no more.

00:07:37
Speaker 4: Now they're they're back to three. So I guess everybody will start stealing again. Who's up next? Shit? Eric, Eric?

00:07:43
Speaker 5: Go ahead, Eric.

00:07:46
Speaker 7: Hey, guys, So I know that you guys have been saying that that Tyson's and sitting you got some kicking down to the bar. I think a good thing to send them, a good thing to send them a good Kentucky park. I think would be a good nice hot brown, because it seems like that's what they have as a team right now, is a good hot brown.

00:08:07
Speaker 4: Well, I appreciate the call. Mario turned the turn. TikTok came around here for a second. Stop stop flirting with Billy and focus. All right, I have a message to my good friends at Tyson Foods in Arkansas. Thank you very much, seriously, thank you, like I can't thank you enough. You know, you sent me that chicken when you came and you took John cal Perry. That was nice of you, but that was way too generous. You've been more generous to us. You saved us forty million dollars. You sent me some chicken nuggets, but you saved us forty million dollars. And you helped us re establish the joy of Kentucky basketball. You helped the arena be filled. You help no, seriously, you helped us kind of get back to Kentucky basketball the way we want it. So Tyson, I owe you. You have done me more than you could ever have done for us. Thank you very much. And I don't really have a care package for you. I just want you to know my heartfelt thanks. I will buy as much of your two dollars chicken as I can. Good for you and you are my favorite corporation of twenty twenty five.

00:09:22
Speaker 2: It makes me a little teary high.

00:09:23
Speaker 6: Yet I still have the nuggets they sent us in my freezer. I see them every day. I'm waiting for February first, and I have to find a way to get an air fire in the rapperna because I want to share them with my friends at the game. That's been my Our rapid reaction is going to be me cooking chicken nuggets after that game and passing them out.

00:09:40
Speaker 4: I mean, it couldn't have worked out better, right, Like there, you know, I don't know, it's you Remember how much I used to use the marriage analogy when we talked about cal Remember, and I said that I use the analogy of sometimes a relationship goes complacent and the the new guy.

00:10:00
Speaker 5: Then they break up, and then the guy gets.

00:10:02
Speaker 4: In shape and he goes and he meets the new woman, and he's like, well, that didn't happen. He didn't go get in shape, he stayed the way he was. He's now unhappy. We, on the other hand, found the actual love of our life.

00:10:19
Speaker 5: Like the Hight.

00:10:20
Speaker 4: We went back to our high school girlfriend, who we probably should have ended up with anyway, but life it kind of took us away. You know, we fell for the and now we're re establishing this connection and we're like, remember when we went to the playground in tenth grade and you have all of these memories and like, that's how it turned out for us.

00:10:41
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's taken us back to where we first kissed on the playground. That's where we took it.

00:10:45
Speaker 5: And we didn't get diarrhea.

00:10:46
Speaker 6: We didn't get the diarrhea, went with the chicken.

00:10:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, So it's it's like he almost couldn't have worked out better.

00:10:53
Speaker 2: Total win win for Kentucky fans and all of us for sure.

00:10:56
Speaker 6: Had a friend last night text me he said, John Tyson drinks for free, and Lexington I thought, you know, I don't think he needs the free drinks, but if John Tyson wants to come have a good time Kentucky fans.

00:11:05
Speaker 5: Bobby Bones.

00:11:06
Speaker 4: I remember Bobby Bones calling me before it went public and he said to me, I think we're gonna get col and I laughed at him and I was like, no, you're not.

00:11:16
Speaker 5: And then he ended up being correct. And Bobby Bones.

00:11:19
Speaker 4: Man like, play all that terrible country music that you have on your show. Now you did this the perfect thing, Like I'll even go to a Luke Bryan concert to thank you all for the money.

00:11:33
Speaker 5: I mean not I won't like it, but to just thank.

00:11:36
Speaker 2: You all for for for the for the.

00:11:38
Speaker 4: Money twenty million dollars, they say forty million dollars.

00:11:43
Speaker 6: I will confess while we're doing this, I stood up way too late looking at memes and reactions last night. The crazy Gallon always makes the videos. Yes, is now a UK fan? Did you see that?

00:11:54
Speaker 5: No?

00:11:55
Speaker 4: He switched. And let me say this to all of you. There's a guy named John Okay. He hosts a radio show in Arkansas. Nice guy. He's been We've been friendly for five years. I've been on his show a lot. He does. He's not exactly like us, but he does a show. He does a postgame show. He asked me a few weeks ago. He was like, when Kentucky plays Arkansas, I'm coming down there Thursday and I'm gonna be there two days. I need a place to do my show. Can I do it at your bar? And I was like, yeah, he does. He shows at like two o'clock. I was like, it won't be that crowded. There might not be very many people here. You're more than welcome to have the bar when he comes. We need to all come and bring him gifts, right because he was one of the biggest advocates of cal coming. He has that video you've seen on the internet where he's interviewing students and they're all like, yeah, eat it. We I think should not only be good host, we should come give him gifts of praise on that Thursday and Friday. Ryan for pushing that so.

00:12:56
Speaker 2: Much, I guarantee you I'm gonna get something to bring it in there for Inflo. We need to write a thank you card for all those people that were pushing for Catil.

00:13:03
Speaker 4: John Nabors, I think we should all give little Peace on that Thursday and Friday when.

00:13:07
Speaker 6: He's doing him about John good guy. I'm looking forward to hosting him. He's a big karaoke fan, so maybe Kentucky fans could take him out, carry take him out, carry out, show him a good time. Maybe he'll be a Kentucky fan.

00:15:29
Speaker 2: I don't know it's worth it.

00:15:30
Speaker 3: I think it would be worth the trade we got.

00:15:32
Speaker 4: You know, it's Wednesday. Here, Friday night. I'm speaking to the Kentucky Young Farmers Association, and I mean, if there's one thing I know a lot about, it's farming. So I'm really working on. I feel like I'm gonna be able to give them some really a really good speech.

00:15:48
Speaker 2: You got the half hope you hit your cowboy hat.

00:15:50
Speaker 9: Yeah.

00:15:50
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're gonna have the street cred the moment you walk in you think that hat will give me the street crad.

00:15:55
Speaker 10: Have you figured out the shoes yet? See I can I have the shoes. Okay, good, I have the shoes. I bought boots. I've got the boots, I've got the jeans. The question is the shirt. I don't know what flexible with the shirt. I don't know what the shirt's gonna be, but I got everything else.

00:16:09
Speaker 6: As long as the hat and shoes or cowboys got that, got shoes, got the jeans.

00:16:14
Speaker 4: It's really the shirt that we're looking at.

00:16:15
Speaker 2: I thought you had a clubbing shirt that might go with your cowboys don't.

00:16:18
Speaker 5: Wear clubbing shirts. Your members farm they don't wear clubbing shirts.

00:16:24
Speaker 4: This is the Young Farmers Association, not the DJs of Miami Association.

00:16:29
Speaker 6: I'm worried my cowboy had around Buffalo Trace later today. I'm really looking forward to it, but I don't have the shoes yet.

00:16:36
Speaker 5: Starbucks, by the way.

00:16:39
Speaker 4: I keep reading all these facts, has a new rule they've just put into place. You now no longer will be able to go to Starbucks unless you buy something. The days of just coming in and being able to sit and use their WiFi. You will not be able to go to Starbucks and go in unless you buy something. I think it has to be at least five dollars in order to sit in there. What do you think of that rule? Drew?

00:17:02
Speaker 6: For one, I didn't know if Starbucks had anything cheaper than five dollars. I honestly, I mean, I've gone and worked in Starbucks. I bought stuff because I wanted a coffee. I didn't know people were already going in there and not buying things.

00:17:13
Speaker 4: There's a guy at this Starbucks on campus. I don't know if anybody goes to that Starbucks on Chevy Chase, right in the Chevy Chase shopping center, but there's a guy. And if you go there, you know who I'm talking about. He's there all the time, day or night, listening to his headphones, reading a book, and he's like taking notes and he's dancing. I'm not kidding you. He sits there, he listens to music, he dances, and he writes, and he writes.

00:17:43
Speaker 5: I've looked.

00:17:44
Speaker 4: It looks like he writes in what if secretaries used to write shorthand It looks like he's writing in shorthand because it's just gibberish, and he does it all times of day. And I've been there, probably seeing him there twenty five times, never seen him have any thing from Starbucks in his hand, And I've often wondered, how does Starbucks just let this guy just be in here for hours and hours on time. I guess the answer, Ryan is They're not gonna do that anymore.

00:18:11
Speaker 2: I can see why they're making this move. You know, you can't just come in and use that place as your office and not patronize them and buy some drinks or food or something. We would want somebody to come in here and sit there all day and not buy anything and take up a call.

00:18:22
Speaker 4: We've had that happen. We've had that happen. Or somebody buy one soda and then uh water, had somebody to just bought a water. So I get it. I mean, I actually think their rule is completely understandable.

00:18:34
Speaker 6: Yeah, and in some places maybe not lexing, but even bigger cities, people run in and just use the bathroom. I think that's okay.

00:18:39
Speaker 5: Now you have a code.

00:18:41
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's talk about the rest of the sec for a second. Last night, Alabama loses it home to Old Miss by ten.

00:18:49
Speaker 5: Missouri beats Florida on the road.

00:18:52
Speaker 4: So Florida and Alabama to the best teams in the conference lose at home to Old Miss and Missouri. Say more about Florida and Alabama, Drew or say more about Missouri and Old Miss.

00:19:02
Speaker 6: I kind of think Missouri and Old Miss, Missouri especially, I didn't think they were gonna be very good. But were they three and one now? Beat Kansas earlier this year? Yeah, I mentioned earlier. I think they're like up to number thirty and Ken Palm, So I think, uh, Missouri especially, it says more about those teams and the big statement last night. I'm looking at it on TV right now. Auburn without Broom still looks very Bruce. I think Bruce is gonna get them one this year. Auburn's the best team in the country.

00:19:27
Speaker 4: Like, Auburn's got a legitimate chance to win the national championship now that Broom is coming back. Uh, they I think to me, they're probably the best team in the country, Uh, above everybody else is you know, we have to go to Ole Miss and Missouri. Those were two games that I thought, you know what, you could steal either one of those. Do they become harder now that they're both road games?

00:19:48
Speaker 2: I think, like Drew said, I think we're seeing that Missouri is like maybe like Georgia, a lot better than any of us thought going into the season. We talked about all the other SEC team didn't talk about Georgia or Missouri at all. Ole miss You know, they beat Alabama at Alabama by ten and they that game was on the same time after our game. They dominated. Ye, Missouri was up by Florida by like eighteen points. I think it one.

00:20:07
Speaker 5: The first half.

00:20:08
Speaker 4: Missouri was annihilating Florida. Florida CU loss ended up losing by one, but I mean they were annihilating I'll note about Missouri.

00:20:15
Speaker 5: We finished the season at Missouri.

00:20:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, so like we are, our last game of the year is at Missouri. That will be a crazy atmosphere on the final game of the season.

00:20:26
Speaker 6: With them being good, that was gonna be Bring my point, I always think about teams that aren't doing well you get to those last games, they're they're kind of ready for it to be over with kind of wanted that to be the case of Missouri. It's not gonna be they're fourteen to three. That's their senior day. You're gonna get a good environment at the end of the year instead of a team that's ready to call quits.

00:20:42
Speaker 4: Totally agree.

00:20:43
Speaker 5: Who's up next, Kevin, Kevin, go ahead.

00:20:45
Speaker 9: Kevin, good morning. Got a couple of things I'd like to throw your way. Okay, first one is from the Mississippi to the Appalachians we are big Blue nation. What do you think about that for us as slogan since we don't have one.

00:21:00
Speaker 4: From the Mississippi to the Appalachians, we are big nations?

00:21:08
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's okay.

00:21:11
Speaker 4: When you say Mississippi, I don't think about the river so like, but I get it. I think you mostly just.

00:21:17
Speaker 5: Mississippi from Lion County to Harlem.

00:21:20
Speaker 9: From the we're going from the from the Mississippi. I mean I got the Appas, all right?

00:21:26
Speaker 5: What else.

00:21:29
Speaker 9: Count mayould be one in Dune in Arkansas?

00:21:31
Speaker 5: That's a great question.

00:21:34
Speaker 4: Do you think I appreciate the call any chance calls a one in Dune at Arkansas?

00:21:39
Speaker 2: Yes?

00:21:39
Speaker 6: Yes, I mean I didn't think he's gonna be there for three years. So if this continues the way it is, I can see him not want to coming back. What do you think to do this his He's got to care about his legacy and you don't want to end the way. It looks like he's got a really.

00:21:53
Speaker 4: Good recruiting class next year, like like he's got really good players. I mean, to me, I would think he's gonna have a pride of I can't go out like this. I gotta have like one more, one more runs recruiting class.

00:22:06
Speaker 2: Huh, that's what I was gonna say. I think he you know, he doesn't want his legacy to be tarnished by this horrible season. Looks like they're in distined for it, and.

00:22:15
Speaker 4: In center field with the Mets like they're in, they're in that sort of place.

00:22:20
Speaker 5: I feel like he'll want to do one more.

00:22:22
Speaker 6: When you say he wants to do more, Yeah, but what if the next recruiting class fails again? Then it just that's just what you are.

00:22:30
Speaker 4: You're right. Yeah.

00:22:31
Speaker 2: Without Boogie Flan last night, they probably got beat by twenty. I mean he single handley kept them in the game there in the second half.

00:22:36
Speaker 4: Dude, Boogie. If they didn't have Boogie Flann, they would be atrocious. Yeah, I mean they would. They're bad now, but they would be absolutely atrocious.

00:22:46
Speaker 6: He got hot late that could have been double digits lsu yeah, eight, and then he scored you know, several buckets in a row to pull them close.

00:22:53
Speaker 5: To the How long?

00:22:54
Speaker 4: Just if you were to guess the amount of years Mark Pope is the coach here? What would you guess if I made you put a guest today thirteen thirteen or fourteen? Okay?

00:23:04
Speaker 5: Actually I like that?

00:23:05
Speaker 4: Yes, Actually, what are you about? You?

00:23:07
Speaker 6: I might even go, I mean, where's he gonna go?

00:23:10
Speaker 4: You know?

00:23:11
Speaker 5: It's a good I mean, this job does wear on you.

00:23:14
Speaker 6: Although his excitement's new right now, it'll get tiring. But I mean the guy seems to really love everything he's doing.

00:23:20
Speaker 4: The good thing about him is this is the first coach we've had since Joe B. Hall that I don't think we have to worry about going anywhere. The rumors of he may go here, he may go there, that's not gonna happen with this guy. And that's exciting because we've dealt out that. My whole lifetime will take a break. Be right back to KSR.

00:23:39
Speaker 5: TJ.

00:23:39
Speaker 1: Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ.

00:23:42
Speaker 5: He'll make them pay.

00:23:43
Speaker 3: Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.

00:23:48
Speaker 4: Welcome back Tucky Sports Radio eight F I'm nine two eight twenty two eighty seven. Are you rying upset like a lot of these people in Lexington Louisville that they are keeps not being school?

00:23:58
Speaker 2: You know, our kids in Lexon have not been to school since December twentieth. As a dad who has not only Josiah but just size best friends staying at my house every day, every night, get them out, get them back to school for crying out?

00:24:11
Speaker 4: What are you okay? So I'm just playing Devil's advocate. There are still streets in Lexington and Louisville that you cannot drive on. I mean if you are a bus. I mean you can drive on them if you have a car. But like, there are still streets that are completely ice in Louisville. My street in Louisville is complete ice. A bus could not go down that street. Now a car can, but a bus can't. And so since they usually make these decisions based on buses, and remember the school district doesn't control the roads getting cleaned, that's a different they're different things. What would you do if you were them? I mean, like because if they have school and a bus crashes due to the ice, people are not gonna be happy about it. So like, what do you do?

00:24:55
Speaker 2: You know, I said, get them back to school? But my street is like an ice rink. You you just slide through the stop sign, you slide out into the street. I mean, I get it because it is like an ice rink where I live right now.

00:25:07
Speaker 4: What was like, is there a way to do it to where you go? Okay, look, you folks may have to walk like like on my street. You can't walk down my street, but you could walk to a block and you'd be fine. Do you just tell the kids maybe you're gonna have to walk a block away from your house for a day or something.

00:25:22
Speaker 2: I think you could have maybe looked at that. But the temperature this morning was like what nine degrees. I don't think they want, you know, the elementary school kids out in that temperature.

00:25:30
Speaker 5: But I mean it's been a long time.

00:25:32
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:25:32
Speaker 4: Now it is supposed to warm up tomorrow, so maybe that changes it. But like it's gonna be cold, supposed to be freezing this weekend and next week.

00:25:40
Speaker 5: Like I mean, at some point they do have to go back to school, don't they?

00:25:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, they've got you know, NTI going on so jo side. His friend woke up at one o'clock yesterday afternoon.

00:25:49
Speaker 4: I said, why do you always telling your kids for not doing the like you always telling your kid for skipping the things they're supposed to do.

00:25:56
Speaker 6: He got up at one am and did his homework one for one p.

00:26:00
Speaker 2: So I asked him, I said, do you guys least log in so you can check your attendance? He goes, yeah, we log in. That's all all we got to do. Miss this last semester of their senior year. I don't think there's a whole lot going on for him right now.

00:26:10
Speaker 4: I love how you just throw your kid under the bus left and right, like, oh, my kids got up at one pm.

00:26:17
Speaker 6: There could be future employers listening to the show right now.

00:26:19
Speaker 4: That's true.

00:26:20
Speaker 2: He has an interview today. I shouldn't have said that, Oh.

00:26:22
Speaker 4: He has an interview today, wild as I feel like I feel like he'll probably be able to get that since you read the endorsements for that place. If he doesn't, that's really on him. I do want to note I've been asked a lot about about we're on in London, Kentucky, or we were on in London Kentucky. You may remember that. Like I made some criticisms of that situation in London with the guy getting shot and the police and the weed eater. Magically, we're not on in London anymore. After being on in London for like nine years. Yeah, on the same station. They just pulled the plug on the show Monday. Now I'm not saying I'm just saying, it's interesting to me that after nine years of being on there, they just pull it. And we asked and they said, well, we're focusing on the music. Well, it's always been a music station, so that's interesting to me. Now we're gonna try to find there's some bigger stations in London. We're gonna try to get movie moved to one of them, and hopefully that'll happen.

00:27:28
Speaker 5: But it's interesting to me, Drew.

00:27:30
Speaker 4: You know, one of the things that people are alleging in London is the government there has its hands in everything and it gets involved in everything. And then all of a sudden, after nine years of being on there, we talk about London one week and we talk about how maybe they shouldn't have broken into a guy's home for a weed eater and shot a stranger that then the next week we're not on the air there.

00:27:51
Speaker 5: Huh.

00:27:52
Speaker 6: It's most funny. One already missed our London listeners and I hope we get back in their scene.

00:27:56
Speaker 4: Me two, we've been there. We do shows in London at Don Franklin all the time. Yeah, they're focused on the music that.

00:28:02
Speaker 2: Radio station brought us. We didn't want a Weavers hot dogs, we did it low sporting Goods.

00:28:06
Speaker 5: We've been on there for a long time.

00:28:09
Speaker 4: There was a time that that was the only way we were on in Southeast Kentucky. Now now again our people are working and we'll probably find a different home in London.

00:28:18
Speaker 5: But that seems crazy to me that you're.

00:28:21
Speaker 4: On all this time, and then they coincidentally switched the music right after the weed eater story.

00:28:27
Speaker 6: I kind of wanted a better reason than focusing on the music.

00:28:30
Speaker 4: And they play classic country like the music ain't going anywhere.

00:28:34
Speaker 6: I worked for right hard everybody way.

00:28:35
Speaker 5: The good thing about classic country there's never any new hits.

00:28:38
Speaker 6: Yeah, everyone should listening to music on the radio. I like iHeart, but you know, just to turn to music when there's so much music around. I feel like they need to stop the talk radio going on somewhere. I'm not saying I'm just saying, who's up next?

00:28:49
Speaker 2: Corey?

00:28:50
Speaker 5: Corey? Go ahead, Corey.

00:28:54
Speaker 11: Hey, what's up?

00:28:55
Speaker 4: Guys?

00:28:55
Speaker 12: First round calling?

00:28:56
Speaker 4: Who what's up?

00:29:00
Speaker 12: Of a couple of things.

00:29:01
Speaker 11: Uh. The first thing is a couple of critiques.

00:29:03
Speaker 2: Uh.

00:29:03
Speaker 11: First off, great win and I think, uh we found the defense that we really need. We didn't. We didn't win a game just by out scorning the other team, so that was awesome. Yes, batiques are almanor whenever he's uh he's in transition and he got his shot blocked, or mitsal leaup dunk that ball you're seving foot called dude, and the other.

00:29:27
Speaker 5: How about Mari about yeah.

00:29:31
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, yeah, yes, sorry sorry, But whenever Kobe or sorry Karta was on defense and instead of diving for the ball, he just stop you.

00:29:45
Speaker 5: I feel like you get all the players confused. Kirk is hurt, so you're.

00:29:49
Speaker 4: Talking about so yeah, so you got both players.

00:29:56
Speaker 8: Yeah.

00:29:57
Speaker 11: Sorry, I'm I'm over here going over worked up right now. But so I got a lot of numbers.

00:30:01
Speaker 4: No, those are the two anyway, those are my two two critiques go ahead.

00:30:08
Speaker 11: Sorry, the last thing was the care package. I have the perfect idea. How about Round one and two tickets to the NCAA tournament.

00:30:17
Speaker 4: Oh, I actually like that. That's pretty good. Round one. I appreciate the call. Round one and two tickets in Lexington. Since Arkansas is not going to go, we send them the tickets so they have a chance to watch the watch the tournament. I like that. By the way, just if they made the tournament. How funny would be if Arkansas got put here in LEXI you know that's what would happen that and that would actually be really funny. Amari Williams best game of the year for Kentucky last night. I only played twenty three minutes, but rebounded well. I thought he could blocked shots, thought he was pretty patient, missed that layup. But besides that, I thought it was maybe the best game I've seen Amari play.

00:30:55
Speaker 5: Pope said he was the key to the game.

00:30:56
Speaker 6: He was made some good passes like he's done in many games. He also just seems to be a lot more engaged and into it. I don't know if it's just his personality trades, but other than the here, you know, he disappeared a little bit slouch a little bit, seemed like he'd be frustrated that something happened a few minutes before. But he is full energy and full emotion now. I know he gave his UH, he gave the pregame speech before Mississippi State. Maybe this is UH. He's broken out of his shell and this is gonna continue.

00:31:20
Speaker 4: I didn't like Kobe Bray and not getting on the floor. I know it's one play, but dude, you can't bend from the knees and the other guy dives on the floor. You gotta get on the floor like you sit there and reach and another guy's on the floor.

00:31:32
Speaker 5: He's lower than you. He's gonna get the ball every time.

00:31:34
Speaker 2: And that led to a three, right, didn't They and him kick it out and hit a three on that?

00:31:37
Speaker 4: But I will say they called time out after that. And I thought that after that breake was when Kentucky took it up to another notch. It was almost like I'm sure Pope lit into him for not getting on the floor there, and that may have been why.

00:31:50
Speaker 2: You know, he's one of two of ten he's last two games shooting the threes. I really thought getting back to Rup he'd have a big shooting night last night. It's still there an him.

00:31:59
Speaker 4: But yeah, but they not been in the last couple of minute last two games.

00:32:03
Speaker 6: This is that one the first time this team hadn't gone on the floor for a loose ball too. I remember they were doing it in one of the big games in the first minutes. Say they need to learn to you know, when it's out there there's a fifty to fifty ball, you need to all your fight when the other guy is going for.

00:32:15
Speaker 4: Whole man wins when it comes to ball. If he has his whole body weight down there and you have your arms, he's gonna get the ball. So that's why they tell you to dive on the ground, is you're gonna you're never gonna get the ball if he's If he's down there and you're trying to pick it up.

00:32:29
Speaker 6: His legs were almost fully extended standing up, and he's been over like slapping him with both hands while the other guys on the ground ripping it away from him.

00:32:35
Speaker 4: Hey, excitement is building for Week twenty three of the Commonwealth Causes Clean Queen of Heart's fifty to fifty raffle. There's thirty two cards left on the board. Get your two dollars raffle ticket before six pm at Commonwealth causes dot org and someone is going to win five thousand dollars. Commonwealth causes dot org. You pick your card. It's two dollars. Pretty easy, right, I do it. I've been playing the Queen of Heart? Are you ever winning?

00:33:01

00:33:04
Speaker 4: That's what we want. That's how you get the nil. Commonwealth causes dot org. Queen of Hearts game two dollars. Five thousand dollars will be up for grabs at some point and the money goes Remember, proceeds go to the Kentucky in Ile.

00:33:18
Speaker 5: We'll take a break.

00:33:19
Speaker 4: Come back final segment here at ks Bars, Kentucky Sports Radio.

00:33:24
Speaker 5: Working back Tucky Sports Radio.

00:33:26
Speaker 4: Louisville, by the way, is back in school, so Lexington is the only one not in school. That surprised me because Louisville had a ton of eyes. So if Louill's back in school and Lexington's not, maybe, you know, maybe they got to do something there, right, I mean, now they gonna be off Toogain tomorrow.

00:33:41
Speaker 2: I don't know, you know, even Scott County's been in school all this week, and they've got stamping ground in Stadyville. Some rurals cities involved with that, but they've been going to school this week.

00:33:49
Speaker 5: I didn't rise Louisville was back in school.

00:33:51
Speaker 4: So if they're making it work in Louisville, because I was there earlier this week with all that ice, I feel like they can find a way to make it work here right now.

00:33:58
Speaker 6: I live right by Douglas. Not great, but at least around that high school. It's not too bad that. Obviously that's not the whole city, but I can confirm Douglas's pretty easy to get to.

00:34:06
Speaker 4: Yeah, if I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven? Three SEC games tonight?

00:34:12
Speaker 5: Uh do we do? We have a Draft Kings one here?

00:34:14
Speaker 4: We do? So Draft Kings. This will be our pick of the day. Uh, Draft Kings. We have three SEC games? Tennessee. Uh plays Georgia. Who you got? Where is it is in Tennessee?

00:34:27
Speaker 2: I like Tennessee, but obviously we're seeing Georgia is a much better that I think anybody thought going into the SECC.

00:34:33
Speaker 4: Tennessee is eleven and a half point favorite. Would you take Georgia to cover eleven and a half in Knoxville.

00:34:39
Speaker 6: If Tennessee hadn't just gotten destroyed by Florida, I think Georgia might have a chance. But what is that Food City Arena? It is gonna be Rock City Arena? South Carolina?

00:34:51
Speaker 4: Vandy? Your Vandy's a nine and a half point favorite, Shannon, Are they gonna take out the game?

00:34:56
Speaker 5: Car h South Carolina?

00:34:57
Speaker 3: I would say, right there next to Arkansas, the two worst teams in the conference, probably even worse than LSU. So I would hope that Vandy would win tonight.

00:35:04
Speaker 4: All right, you're taking Vanda and this is the game we talked about how for Arkansas that might have been a season ender. I don't think this is a season ender for these teams. But what if I told you Texas and Oklahoma are both oh and three in the conference, and one of them tonight's gonna go oh and four because they play each other, that's a huge rivalry, And like you know, staying alive and the conferences up for grabs, who you got?

00:35:29
Speaker 6: I think I'm gonna take Texas because their first games were brutal. They've already played number one, number two, and number thirteen, so it's hard to get a good read on them. I think maybe they'll find a win tonight.

00:35:39
Speaker 2: I think going in Texas was kind of flirting with that, getting in your second tier there for a little bit of the season. To be owing three, it is a little surprising, but I still think they're a better team than Oklahoma.

00:35:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, the their schedule has been tough, but they're at Oklahoma.

00:35:51
Speaker 5: I'll take Texas, but you know, if.

00:35:52
Speaker 4: You're Oklahoma, you had no losses in the non conference and then you start to conference oh and four, that would be probably his big a symbol of how good the SEC is over anything anything else.

00:36:03
Speaker 6: They have big wins against Arizona, beat UH, beat Louisville. Yeah, they got Michigan. They beat Michigan.

00:36:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, they got one of the UH, one of the wins that they congratulate Pat Kelsey. He surpassed Kenny Payne on the all time wins list at University of Louisville.

00:36:18
Speaker 3: Did he really in eighteen games he did more than Kenny did in two entire seasons?

00:36:23
Speaker 5: Is that right?

00:36:24
Speaker 4: I didn't realize that Kelsey has already passed Kenny Payne.

00:36:27
Speaker 2: And wins Yep, yep, wow, yep.

00:36:31
Speaker 6: Did they like make a thing for that is there like a.

00:36:35
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you know we got cut off earlier when I was talking about Cal staff. I just want you to think about Cal's staff for a minute. Cal's staff right now is Kenny Payne, Chen Coleman, Bruiser Flint, and Brad.

00:36:56
Speaker 2: Tyler. You list sits there with him.

00:36:57
Speaker 4: He's not an assistant coach, though he's paid assistance. Are those do? Wow? Can you believe that?

00:37:06
Speaker 6: I mean, the good assistance went to other places that are doing very well, Orlando and t when Illinois were rocking. I haven't kept up with Welsh, but he got the heck out of here after last season. I mean it's I.

00:37:16
Speaker 4: Will say Brad has an exquisite selection of turtlenecks at each of these games. I mean he is single handedly trying to bring the turtleneck back. He looks like every game is a different Miami Club night DJ.

00:37:34
Speaker 5: He does not look like a basketball couch. No, he looks like he is he is.

00:37:38
Speaker 4: At you know, the light factory in Miami, about to throw some throw it down on the ones and.

00:37:45
Speaker 2: Twos, and they just sit there. They don't like they don't do any coaching at all. We see like even last year.

00:37:49
Speaker 5: He still yells at Chin. Oh how I can't.

00:37:52
Speaker 2: Believe he kept chinning aafter that first year, the way that he's killing him.

00:37:56
Speaker 4: Screams at Chin during the games, screams at him.

00:38:00
Speaker 6: I looked over there and Brad was on the bench, and I know Cal's got Brad there because he's trying to get him a good start on his career. I get it. If I had a son in that spot, i'd probably do the same thing. But if I'm Brad and I'm watching my dad his legacy just tank, I'd be like, Dad, maybe I shouldn't be sitting here. I don't know that I'm qualified to help you. Could you maybe bring in some actual help and take care of yourself and then bring me in later.

00:38:21
Speaker 4: Oh wait, man, he breaking news, Shannon. The Federal Drug Administration is banning the use of red number three and food and beverages. That's the thing that's in.

00:38:33
Speaker 5: Like skittles, uh huh and nerds and a lot of that stuff.

00:38:37
Speaker 4: Uh. You know, there's that was one of those that, like it seems like it was probably bad for a while and everybody just kind of looked the other way. And now so I don't know, we're not gonna have red Skittles anymore.

00:38:48
Speaker 2: They just every flavor. But read that. You know, they've been talked about doing this for years and years and years, but I.

00:38:55
Speaker 5: Think it actually has a link to like cancer and all that.

00:38:58
Speaker 4: So I mean, too fine, you just can't have red Die. Red Die three is the one four good. It's just something about that number three. We all like a lot of the stuff it's in. We're gonna miss it.

00:39:09
Speaker 6: But if you read the stories and see what it's actually doing to people, it's probably best that we don't eat the Uh.

00:39:15
Speaker 4: I don't want to think about it, because chances are I've ingested quite a bit of red Die three in my life. If you look at my diet, chances are a lot of it is gone glowing right here. Yes, who's next, Adam, Adam, go ahead, Adam.

00:39:31
Speaker 12: Hey, guys, had a gift idea for your Arkansas friends. I had this book. It's like a motivational book on how to overcome adversity. It's called Bounce Back. Uh So I would I would be happy to.

00:39:42
Speaker 4: Give you all that nice I like it. That's Guy's when my Kentucky branded car. That's that's a good one.

00:39:49
Speaker 12: How how awesome is it that you know, uh, In the past couple of years, it's we actually have the opposing coaches and players telling us that they knew exactly what we were gonna run. It was easy to guard. And now we have Buzz Peterson saying, or Buzz Williams saying that, you know, he gets excited watching Mark Pope's offense.

00:40:08
Speaker 4: I thought Buzz Williams comments last night, I appreciate the call. I thought Buzz Williams comments last night were maybe one of the best praises for Mark Pope that we've seen. He Buzz Williams said, I literally got excited studying Mark Pope's offense because of how well it's run. And I think he was being completely genuine. He was basically saying, look, you look at these players and he gets the best out of every one of them. And he said, you know they run He's he said, I cannot believe how efficiently they run their offense. And I mean, Buzzes can be a little bit of a jerk, but I also don't think he's like a bs er. And when I heard that, I thought, Drew Man, what a great compliment from a coach.

00:40:55
Speaker 6: You just beat it was Buzz had me in a pretzel. Last night. I went outside and did our and called him soft, and he was talking to Jackson, and I don't like Buzz anymore. I come inside and buzzes at the podium saying this team could win the national championship. I love watching Mark Pope's film this and that, and I'm thinking, well, dang it, now I think I like Buzz again. So it was a wild Buzz Williams ride. But that was one of the better opposing coaches press conferences I can remember it.

00:41:18
Speaker 5: But Buzz was soft about the Jackson thing.

00:41:20
Speaker 4: But Buzz is for defense, like Buzz's defense is as well done as Pope's offense.

00:41:29
Speaker 5: So for a man who's.

00:41:30
Speaker 4: Known for being an intellectual defensive guy to say that about our coach for his offense, I think is a very It's a huge.

00:41:38
