00:01:57
Speaker 6: No.

00:01:57
Speaker 4: I mean they're saying if your voice is strained and then you keep yelling, you could lose it forever. You think that's true.

00:02:03
Speaker 3: No, I don't think that person even knows what they're talking about. Is that a doctor on the other side of that text line just to me and who is that? You don't know?

00:02:11
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, let's talk for just a second about uh, let's talk.

00:02:16
Speaker 5: We'll not a second, let's talk about some football.

00:02:17
Speaker 4: We've got Adam Luckett here of KSR joining us.

00:02:22
Speaker 5: Adam, how are you good?

00:02:23
Speaker 7: I can confirm that whoever said that's full of it because they didn't grow up in the Lucket house and there was always streaming there, and we all have our voices.

00:02:30
Speaker 5: I have a lot of siblings.

00:02:31
Speaker 7: I have five brothers and sisters.

00:02:33
Speaker 5: Yeah.

00:02:34
Speaker 7: Uh, there was all streaming grandparents of others. There was just if you want to be heard, you had to scream.

00:02:39
Speaker 4: I think I've met three of them. I just will like be walking down the street and people come up to me and be like, I'm Adam Luckt's brother, Madam Lucket's like you, They're They're everywhere, all right, So we're gonna go to the phones here in a second. I want to give get you to give us a quick update about the since will Stein has been hired UK stuff. We talked a lot about potential coaches in the forty eight hours, and we didn't have a coach. Was will Stein to you a good hire, just generally.

00:03:06
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think he was in that top tier of available candidates. I think once summer all was off the table, so he would have been your top He would have been my top choice once he was off the table, which when Kentucky entered the market, he was on. Then Florida was done. I think you were looking at him and Brian Hartline and those were the clear top two guys and they got one of those.

00:03:23
Speaker 4: So explain to people what a will Stein offense will look like if he does what they do at Oregon.

00:03:30
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think you're gonna see kind of a balanced offense that will mix in tempo. Every once in a while they'll go full like tempo, but most most of the time, it's more of like they're not gonna be like this crazy Temple offense. They're gonna mix a match.

00:03:41
Speaker 4: So the idea that it's like high speed all the time, that's really not what he does.

00:03:45
Speaker 7: It is not, but he will. They will one to two series a game. And you'll see this if you watch the playoff game against James Madison on Saturday. They will go as fast as any offense moves in college football for a series and then they'll they'll get out of it trick plays. He's big on plays. You're going to see a couple of them, probably when they play James Madison. But he wants to run the football first, and then they're in the passing game. They are not necessarily super complicated, but they're trying to get vertical. But they're also willing to throw it short. So to me, like, in some ways it looks a little bit like Kentucky ran last year when they went to this short passing game and driven off that. But his offense has been a lot better.

00:04:24
Speaker 5: This offense, all right.

00:04:26
Speaker 4: He has brought in a staff of very young people. Yeah, this is probably the youngest staff I've ever seen in college football.

00:04:34
Speaker 5: Do you like that? Yeah?

00:04:36
Speaker 7: I think for a place like Kentucky, you've got to be We've talked about this, You've got to be able, or you got to be willing to swing the bat and take chances and bet on ascending coaches. They've got two guys under thirty five, the offensive line coach, the outside linebacker coach, both under thirty five years old.

00:04:51
Speaker 5: And they're a guy that's like twenty six.

00:04:52
Speaker 7: The offensive line coach, Cutter Left, which graduated high school high school twenty seventeen.

00:04:57
Speaker 5: Shin, we have a twenty six year old off it's a line crazy try six.

00:05:03
Speaker 3: Yes, normally I would say it was wait say.

00:05:06
Speaker 5: That again, high school in twenty seventeen.

00:05:08
Speaker 7: He graduated high school in the year of Our Lord twenty seventeen. Wow, he will be a multi year SEC offensive line coach when he goes to his ten year high school re union.

00:05:21
Speaker 6: That is.

00:05:22
Speaker 5: I can't get over that. So he is eight years I'm trying to think of where I was eight years out of high school. I was like, I just graduated law school. The idea that you would be an SEC, that's that's.

00:05:32
Speaker 7: Some of us just been a couple of years out of college at that point.

00:05:35
Speaker 5: Yeah.

00:05:37
Speaker 4: Wow, So what do you I mean, like without we don't have to go into detail on them, but do these people have good resumes? Do you like what you've seen from them? Cutter Left, which is offensive line coach's name. Okay, he was he graduated Byron Left with he is not now. He's from a coaching family. His dad was a longtime offensive line coach. His brother is the offensive coordinator at Texas Tech. Like his brother and him, could play each other in the playoff because if Oregon wins, are playing Texas Tech. Okay, So he's from a coaching family.

00:06:04
Speaker 7: He was at UCLA, was a graduate Assistan that went to Oregon and kind of a support staff role. He left to be the North Texas offensive line coach who coach just got hired Oklahoma State for twenty twenty four. Then Oregon wanted to bring him back that he was so coveted for them, they felt like they wanted him back. So he's already a guy that's.

00:06:21
Speaker 4: Been on the on the on the right, am I seeing that most of these guys seem to have a good recruiting background, Like the recruiting is kind of a big part.

00:06:31
Speaker 7: Of the two coordinators they hired. I would say the best thing they do, both of them is the recruiters.

00:06:35
Speaker 4: There have been some controversy about these coordinators. There's people who go, look, none of these guys have won anywhere.

00:06:44
Speaker 5: Do you worry about that?

00:06:48
Speaker 7: More so on defense less on offense. Because as talking about the defensive coordinator, Jay Bateman is the defensive coordinator. He was an FCS coach, came up through the ranks, then became the Army defensive coordinator when their coach and who there is there now? First got there and kind of got them going. Then went to North Carolina with Mac Brown, did not go well, went to Florida for two years, got some players, was a really good recruiter for Florida. Then went to A and M. And then it's kind of lost in translation. What happened there? Was he defensive coordinator? Was he not? It sounds like Elko took over that. So he was defensive coordinator in title only Sun And I see your.

00:07:21
Speaker 5: Face a little skeptical about the defensive coordinator.

00:07:24
Speaker 7: I think it's a risk, but he has experience, and so what did he learn something from Elkoll that he maybe learned from North Carolina? Was a North Carolina situation just weird because they had Mac Brown and it wasn't going well. They were offense first. But it's I think it's a risky higher. Yeah, it's not necessarily a guy who's had more recently proven results. But if you just if you hired him straight from Army, that's kind of the offense the defensive coordinator you would hire usually at Kentucky, it's kind of a G five guy that's proven and now going up to the next level. Well, Kyter Bowley be back next year. Yes, it's trending that way.

00:07:54
Speaker 5: Trending that way. Yes, Okay, will we bring in a guy to compete with him? We will, But Cutter Bully will be the starter. It's not gonna be a I would say, a real competition.

00:08:03
Speaker 4: Okay, So that's kind of new to me. So you think Cutter Bowley is the starter next year? So when will Stein kind of did? I hope he wants to compete. That's more motivating than it is. A sign that somebody great's coming.

00:08:15
Speaker 7: In and also them trying to establish the culture that you're not gonna get anything. But yeah, it's Cutter Bowly is a guy for them.

00:08:22
Speaker 4: That's I think that's a Newsy proposition. They got this wide receiver from Louisiana at the end of sine. Do you think this team is I mean, they're gonna have to be active in the portal just to fill a roster. Do you think they're gonna be able to get a good portal class? I do, yes, SEC School. They've got money, they're gonna have cap space. I think they're gonna be able to make a splash. So for football. Do you think they have enough money for football? We've talked a lot about the basketball issues in terms of going forward. Do you think the football financial situation is in a good place.

00:08:54
Speaker 7: I do, But we're gonna learn a lot in this portal period. We're gonna learn just how much money they have. I think that is gonna be the real barometer for all of this. Just how much money do they have? We're gonna find out in the portal because it seems like you here they say that they're in a good spot, but you have to worry. You know, the rev share at Kentucky. Just be honest. The basketball team is getting a chunk of that, but nobody knows what it is. But we don't know, so I'm just talking here. You've got to be like, let's use some street smarts. Yeah, basketball, basketball is getting a chunk of the ten dollars. We have a lot. We have less than all the rest of the SEC schools. We're gonna have to JMI is gonna have to in the collective. We're gonna have to make up for it in the gaps. So we'll see. They have a lot of money coming off the bookst.

00:09:42
Speaker 4: Of money coming off the books. I mean, they did spend a lot of money on guys who are graduating. Do you expect any player, I know Steven Soles entered the portal. Do you expect any player that matters to leave? Not right now, but that can change.

00:09:58
Speaker 5: Willie Rodrigue is.

00:10:00
Speaker 7: They're working hard to get Willy back.

00:10:01
Speaker 4: Okay, what about those young receivers that they had some success with the Miller guys, and.

00:10:06
Speaker 7: I think they're in a good spot right now. But what happened? Do they covet Here's what's gonna happen in all this, Matt. You go out and get a receiver, then receiver on your team might be like, see you, I'm out of here. Take them out spot. So there's gonna be a lot of moving parts in here. The thing with Kentucky's roster, this is gonna sound bad, but they don't like there's not all there's not all SEC.

00:10:26
Speaker 5: Players's and there's not a lot of guys that you were all.

00:10:29
Speaker 7: Right something you shouldn't cost you that much money in the short term. But also you've got to go out and get players.

00:10:34
Speaker 4: If it was you can. Oregon's gonna play James Mats in that first game they're gonna win. Then they're gonna play Texas Tech around New Year's Eve New Year's Day. Do you want him to win that game?

00:10:45
Speaker 7: I do not. I want him.

00:10:48
Speaker 5: You'd like him to be here because because the portal opens right after those.

00:10:51
Speaker 7: Games, it's better for I think the program if he's foot the boots on the ground in lexing him when the portal's open and you're having players on campus.

00:10:57
Speaker 4: Because that's interesting because you were talking about doing a watch party for that game, and I don't know if people will be cheering for him to win or lose.

00:11:02
Speaker 5: Would you cheering for him to win or lose Shannon in that game?

00:11:06
Speaker 3: You know, part of me says, I really don't care if he wins or not. But then wouldn't it be cool to have a National championship coach as your head coach?

00:11:12
Speaker 5: On what about that? Though?

00:11:13
Speaker 4: I mean, what about the Oregon plant because Oregon's bracket kind of opens up?

00:11:18
Speaker 5: Right? Sure?

00:11:18
Speaker 4: I think I mean that they need to be Texas Tech in Indiana a doable proposition for them. Do you think Oregon playing in the National Championship with every time they show will Stein, they say he's going to be a coach at Kentucky next year. Do you think that pays dividends for the program or doesn't matter.

00:11:34
Speaker 7: I don't think it really matters that much.

00:11:36
Speaker 3: Okay, what about future recruiting though, when you can.

00:11:39
Speaker 7: Say your coach tack game right, like, yeah again, maybe you get it for a year and then after that people move on.

00:11:47
Speaker 4: Well, that's true. I remember Vince Merriw said that to me when he got here with Stoops. He said, We'll get all the benefit of Florida State for one year and then it won't matter.

00:11:56
Speaker 7: It matters until we and then we get to the contract. How much money too?

00:12:00
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's true, that's true.

00:12:01
Speaker 7: It's just a different world. And I think we look at for US man, I think we look at it, oh wow, national champion. But I think sixteen year old that I think that matters for a certain time period and then something else matters once you move move from that. And just it's such an important period for Kentucky when they're hosting these portal players, when they're in a market where they have to get more than at least a handful of starters, maybe more. I think it's important to have the.

00:12:28
Speaker 4: Adam Luckett there you go Adam Luckett once Will Steino, that's the headline, Adam Luckett the.

00:12:33
Speaker 7: Next year, I want it's trenity. You gotta lose.

00:12:35
Speaker 5: It's not the first time that needs to lose. Mike, go ahead, Mike.

00:12:41
Speaker 8: Hey, guys, it is Mike from Knoxville. I am calling two days in a row.

00:12:45
Speaker 5: But these repeat callings.

00:12:49
Speaker 3: I don't know, Mike and what was the other guy's name? Will go for it, Mike basic names.

00:12:55
Speaker 8: Come on, guys, come on, you gotta show some love. But anyway, so I'm getting to Yeah, I guess some uh stuff yesterday talking about uh DJ Lagway from Florida hit the portal and some of his tweets that he's sending out kind of tie in to Will Stein and some of the coaches at the University of Kentucky, and I guess my my question is, what do you guys think it would Kentucky even be a player and getting a you know, a recruits as Lagway with his status.

00:13:25
Speaker 5: And are question what could we get Lagway?

00:13:29
Speaker 7: No, that's not happening. They are locked in on Cutter Bully and I get I mean, that's the most definitive I've heard it. Do you this is Cutter Buwlly's team next year. Yes, okay, unless something goes wrong.

00:13:40
Speaker 5: I did not news on this show.

00:13:43
Speaker 4: I kind of I mean, I didn't know that they weren't, but I just I didn't realize it was that definitive.

00:13:46
Speaker 5: Ben, go ahead, Ben, hey man, I.

00:13:51
Speaker 9: Just said for I just had a quick question for you, and Shanda Fricket's got a second go for it.

00:13:58
Speaker 6: Yeah.

00:13:59
Speaker 9: Hey, so with your law degree, you could probably answer this, but I want to see if Shannon can get it right. You can tell him if he's right. Friend of mine just sent us law school at UK and he's telling me some of the questions that were on his final exam. The last question of his final law school exam was this, Shannon, if a man from Mount Washington divorces his wife, is she's still his sister?

00:14:23
Speaker 5: Oh that's brutal. That's brutal.

00:14:25
Speaker 4: Shit that is I appreciate the call that is mocking Bullet County as being some backwards place, and I don't think that's very nice.

00:14:34
Speaker 3: Never do that to my face though, that's the thing you call in like you're a tough guy. You would never say that to my face.

00:14:39
Speaker 5: You don't think he would, No, what if he saw you in your little skivies from OVW You don't think you think he'd.

00:14:45
Speaker 3: Get big boy? Come on, Guys are always tough when they're texting and tweeting.

00:14:51
Speaker 4: Interesting that Bullet County get so many jokes because it's basically just a suburb of.

00:14:57
Speaker 3: Let me tell you, Bullet County is way nicer than Jefferson County.

00:15:00
Speaker 7: It's Fern Creek extended.

00:15:01
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's Fern Cree close. Oh you think it's nicer than Jefferson Camp.

00:15:06
Speaker 3: I know it's nicer than Jefferson County. I've lived in Jefferson County, parts of Jefferson County in absolute dumb.

00:15:11
Speaker 5: But parts of Bullet County here.

00:15:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's called Shepherdsville.

00:15:15
Speaker 7: That's why I was with class Shannon. We live in Mount Washington's.

00:15:18
Speaker 3: Right, Ah, you live in Mount Washington.

00:15:19
Speaker 7: Yeah, oh a couple of years now.

00:15:21
Speaker 3: I didn't know they're two years ago.

00:15:22
Speaker 5: Look at you, So you're both Bullet County.

00:15:25
Speaker 4: Not bring the Mountain dew in here, knowing that you two both were gonna be Bullet Counties five nine, two, eight oh, twenty two eighty seven. We'll take a break very back, Chaozo welcome back Tucky Sports Radio. If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven, the texts machine is seven seven two seven four five two five four. One person rise, Matt. Did you ever think you would hear the term cap space with college sports? No, but that's the way it is, and that's how it's gonna be. I don't it's interesting you use that term. I don't exactly think of it as cap space, but I guess to some extent it is. I mean, because you're figuring out you've got a limited amount of rep share, who's going.

00:16:02
Speaker 5: To get what?

00:16:03
Speaker 7: Specifically Reugh share?

00:16:04
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean you're gonna have to, So I mean there's something to it.

00:16:07
Speaker 4: One person writes, Matt, I, uh, when you started talking about Trump's tweet about about Reiner, I was like, uh, oh, here we go. But I played it for a lot of my MAGA relatives and everybody generally agreed with you. Is that a good sign? I think it's a good sign. I think Shannon, almost everybody thought that was inappropriate. Like on Twitter, some people wrote back, but here's the common denominator of everybody that wrote back Shannon defending it. Anonymous accounts people who had their name on it, wrote yeah, I voted for him, but like he shouldn't say, and.

00:16:44
Speaker 3: The people defending are going, yeah, but what about?

00:16:47
Speaker 5: Yeah? What about? What about what this random girl with a ring in her nose said ten years ago?

00:16:53
Speaker 3: Like differences? He's the president.

00:16:55
Speaker 7: He's the president.

00:16:56
Speaker 3: You're held to a higher stand.

00:16:58
Speaker 5: The president is.

00:16:59
Speaker 4: Held to higher standard if you if you are going to justify bad behavior by pointing to someone else with bad behavior, we will end up in a cycle of the worst behavior on earth, because you can always find somebody else who did something bad. The question is like, I am held to a higher standard then wild cat bob in your face? Right, Adam Luckett is higher Like Adam Luckett says Cutter Bowley's coming back and is going to be the starter for better or worse. Adam, you have to be right, you know what I mean? Cats in their eye can say that and be wrong and nobody cares.

00:17:38
Speaker 5: But Adam Luckett's name is on it. He's gonna You're held to a higher standard. You know that, right? So who should be held to a higher standard than the president? If I'm wrong?

00:17:47
Speaker 7: Blame Nick Grolsch.

00:17:49
Speaker 5: There you go.

00:17:50
Speaker 7: OK, So you're throwing Nick Rouse under the bus. I'll hold I stand on what I said.

00:17:56
Speaker 5: Man, Okay, I think I heard him blaming Nick Kroush? Did you? Did you? I think I heard.

00:18:04
Speaker 7: So.

00:18:04
Speaker 4: The good thing about the one thing is I feel like virtually everyone recognized that was bad behavior. And that's a good start. That's a good start to cleaning up what has been infecting our country for ten years, which is just nastiness. And he's not the only cause of the nastist but he's part of it. And we got to get rid of that because he's gonna be gone one day and everybody that hates him, everybody loves him, like, we gotta get We gotta have anough. We can't have a war where we If we keep hating each other like this, the country will fall.

00:18:34
Speaker 3: It's okay to say, you know, you voted for somebody. It's okay to say it's even okay to say you like the person, but it's a bad thing that they it's not a cult.

00:18:42
Speaker 4: Like just say I like him, but he messed up. You can do that. We do it to our parents.

00:18:49
Speaker 3: Our kids.

00:18:51
Speaker 4: I love you, Johnny, but but but you can't do that.

00:18:55
Speaker 5: That's okay. Randall.

00:18:57
Speaker 10: Go ahead, Randa, with Myron's question earlier, do we need do we really need freshman on the basketball team? I don't believe we do, you know, I mean, pick up one freshman that's really good and then bringing up her classmen, because look at the last three teams that hang championship banners, they had more majority seniors. Last year we had seven seniors on the team, and look at the success we ask.

00:19:25
Speaker 5: It's a great point. And also, but here's what I wanted to Randall, is that a product of COVID, meaning the seniors were like a lot older and a lot more experience.

00:19:36
Speaker 4: I wonder, and may and we'll see. I don't know the answer to this. In three years, will that be the same or was that the unique circumstances of COVID keeping guys in school.

00:19:46
Speaker 5: Et cetera.

00:19:48
Speaker 11: Right?

00:19:48
Speaker 10: And then the nil.

00:19:52
Speaker 12: Twenty one? Yeah, the age is twenty one plus. But the more successful teams that are winning championships, or the team that are majority senior and.

00:20:02
Speaker 5: Junior, appreciate the call. It's a really good point.

00:20:06
Speaker 4: Let me ask you on the football side, does it make sense to pay money to freshmen in football when they can leave after a year.

00:20:17
Speaker 7: No, but sometimes to get a player you have to take calculated risk, right, get him in your facility, and then see if you can keep onto him and then let him grow in your building.

00:20:25
Speaker 4: So it used to be guys would sign twenty five players. The scholarships have gone up from eighty five to one oh five, so they could still do that if they want.

00:20:34
Speaker 5: If you were a coach, would you get a lot of freshmen? How would you do it?

00:20:39
Speaker 6: Well?

00:20:39
Speaker 7: Bill Belichick just signed I think fifty freshman, forty to I think maybe forty. I would not do that. I think that is the wrong thing to do. I think you have to have a bath.

00:20:48
Speaker 4: I thinks he has job security to sign forty freshmen, does he?

00:20:52
Speaker 7: I think they pivoted thinking portal wasn't the answer, and they're going to get a lot of freshmen. We'll see how that works out. My guess it doesn't work out very well. But I think you have to have a balance, Matt. You have to supplement. You have to have a balance. You can't go all in one way or the other. How do you get seniors into your team. I'd rather have seniors that have been in my program. Yeah, for some for a few years. What good does it do you to get a one and done? Just load up on one and done seniors every year to build like your organization how you want it and to have balance. And the best way I think to have year to year's success is to have you know, you're bringing in guys, but you have a backbone in your organization of guys going up through the program.

00:21:29
Speaker 5: Yeah.

00:21:29
Speaker 4: And a lot of the guys that were surprisingly successful last year were guys that had come up through the program.

00:21:35
Speaker 7: Well, part of the it wasn't the season one is a success, but when they started playing well and have success, it was guys they recruited specific encoders class JC.

00:21:44
Speaker 5: What's up JC?

00:21:47
Speaker 11: Real quick? With Adam as the steven Soul's ships failed for sure?

00:21:53
Speaker 7: Yeah, yes, yeah, I do not expect steven Souls on the team next year.

00:21:57
Speaker 11: Okay. Also, uh, and you're asdmiron if we had elite players, I was really disappointed. He said, to find elite.

00:22:08
Speaker 4: I mean that you know in some way, Jason, that almost answers the question, you know what I mean? Like if you say to find elite, that then that means we don't have it, because you know.

00:22:18
Speaker 11: You can't say he has to be. That's no, he doesn't have to be he he maybe he cannot be.

00:22:27
Speaker 6: I don't think.

00:22:28
Speaker 11: Maybe we have one elite we have one elite player, he hasn't played yet.

00:22:33
Speaker 4: I totally appreciate the call. I agree we may have one elite player. I think we have a chance to have two really good college players, which is low and okay in no way, and a really good role player college in diabate remains to be seen what Chandler moreno in Jasper's careers will be. And then we have role players and the wild card with quaintance whenever he gets quaints is the guy who can be elite yet But like I don't know because we haven't seen him yet, so I don't. But no, he's right when when when Myron says, define elite by the very definition, we don't have it because one thing about cal is he brought in so many elite players. We know what that looks like. We know what elite looks like. You can't fool it. We've seen it a lot over the years. Hey, if I'm nine two eight, twenty two eighty seven, we'll take a break. Be right back here with Shannon Adams KSR.

00:23:29
Speaker 5: TJ.

00:23:29
Speaker 7: Smith, personal injury attorney, called TJ. He'll make them pay.

00:23:33
Speaker 3: Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.

00:23:38
Speaker 4: And do you have to play this on our last show? I know, right, yeah, that which will be the twenty third.

00:23:48
Speaker 3: The game we'll be here, so I'm playing it for you now.

00:23:50
Speaker 5: Okay, Yeah, well so then play it Friday.

00:23:53
Speaker 7: Okay.

00:23:54
Speaker 5: I just ta's like our moment, every.

00:23:57
Speaker 3: Little drummer little drummer boy version of it.

00:24:00
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's weird. That's how I know it's Christmas. I don't get in the spirit until you play that. I just feel like this little premature spirit.

00:24:07
Speaker 5: Yeah, I got it. I gotta get gifts. I haven't done that yet.

00:24:12
Speaker 3: What are you doing? Like you're just gonna like go Amazon for everything.

00:24:17
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm gonna do online. I'm not going to a store.

00:24:19
Speaker 3: You understand though, If you're gonna do online like Christmas is in nine days.

00:24:23
Speaker 5: I mean that's what people say, but like you can, but there are. He's gonna be a little weird.

00:24:29
Speaker 4: Though, because I'm gonna be gone starting Friday, so I've got to like figure out where to send them. You know, we have to send them to the New Orleans Bowl so that I can take them. I'm gonna have to figure out how, I uh, how how I make that happen. One thing before we go back to football, the Lexington A Court upheld Lexington's ban on puppy and kitten sales. You know, in the city of Lexington you cannot sell dogs and cat unless you're a license breeder. Which I remember us talking about Shannon when this passed, and I was shocked. This was a rule. I didn't know it was a rule. Is that do you know what the rule is in Louisville? Can you can you do it in lout.

00:25:13
Speaker 7: I'm not sure, but I do know, like that's a you know, is.

00:25:17
Speaker 4: There anywhere else in Kentucky you can't do it? I'm because like so apparently the court. So the court said that you can do that. So you can't buy them in stores. You can't buy them just like on street. So we can buy them for a license breeder. And that's it. And the reasoning is they're like, we have too many dogs and cats anyway, adopt them. Stores, however, can have dogs and cats in them for the purpose of encouraging adoption.

00:25:48
Speaker 5: But they can't like Altmart, well like.

00:25:51
Speaker 4: PetSmart, though they were the they're the ones that sued because they wanted to be able to sell pets, but they have lost that they can. They lost, so Lexington's ordinance was upheld. What's the law in Louisville? Did you look it up?

00:26:05
Speaker 13: Share it? Says?

00:26:07
Speaker 3: I said, can you sell dogs in Louisville? The answer is yes, but with significant restrictions. Louisville banned the retail sell of dogs.

00:26:15
Speaker 4: That's exactly what Lexington stores. Yeah, so Lexington and Louisville. I don't know about small towns around the state. I'm not sure what the law is there is this like a common law? Like is this the law everywhere?

00:26:28
Speaker 3: I always thought you could just get dogs or cats from anybody, but I guess I was doing it.

00:26:32
Speaker 4: I remember as a kid we would go I think there was a pet store in that what is it across the street from Lexington Green whatever that shopping center is, and I think we would go in and I hated it because the dogs were rock And I guess.

00:26:47
Speaker 5: That thing is doesn't exist anymore, or maybe I don't know.

00:26:51
Speaker 4: Did they still have pet Smarts, because like I guess they have to sell pet yah Sidekicks pet Smarts.

00:26:58
Speaker 7: There's another big brand store.

00:27:00
Speaker 4: But I don't know, Shannon, like in the rest of the country, is it banned.

00:27:05
Speaker 3: I'm not really sure, not sure, but I mean what I am sure is that people are still selling animals regardless, and they may not be doing it legally, but people are still like, you know, if you have a dog and it has pupps or kittens, people are gonna be selling those from their house. So is that illegal from person to person?

00:27:23
Speaker 5: I don't know.

00:27:24
Speaker 4: Is that illegal just to cell itate your house puppy five dollars.

00:27:30
Speaker 3: Or maybe if you're just giving them away it's.

00:27:31
Speaker 4: Not well giving them I think is fine. I think that's it's saiding the thing. You can still give them.

00:27:36
Speaker 3: Away, okay, but you can't sell them well maybe in.

00:27:41
Speaker 5: A retail store, but I don't know if you can sell them just in your life.

00:27:44
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I guess for for profit business and want you going through the registration.

00:27:50
Speaker 4: Selling them period. I read the person who sponsored the bill or the city ordans, and she said, we have too many dogs and cats all ready that are not having a home. We don't need policies that encourage more because we don't have like they get abandoned and all these like you know, you have to put them down and they take up care and they put up Yeah, so I just didn't know. I remember when this first came out, I didn't realize this was the like the thing it was. It makes sense to me, but I don't know anything about dogs and cats, so like I'm not a good judge.

00:28:24
Speaker 3: I remember us talking about this when this first happened, and we were like voting what we think should happen.

00:28:30
Speaker 5: But well, I don't remember what my opinion was then, what is it now? But my opinion now is I think it's good to have this rule, yeah, because I just do.

00:28:42
Speaker 3: Well, anything that's gonna stop them from being like put down or well, if.

00:28:46
Speaker 7: You're an abandon if you're a family looking to purchase dog, you might get it for cheap somewhere else, but it might come with problems that you don't know about where if you go through a breeder, it can be a safer probably.

00:28:58
Speaker 5: People to adopt.

00:28:59
Speaker 4: I think the main point of this is you want to encourage people to adopt the dogs with cats we already have.

00:29:06
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think, right, But then are you encouraging them to go to puppy mills, which aren't good.

00:29:12
Speaker 4: We don't want them to go to I think puppy mills are banned in this. You have to be a license breeder, and they have all these rules, right and then like those are like two thousand to five thousand dollars, is what the article said, So like not everybody can for a dog. Well, you get what's the mark, You say, what's the dog?

00:29:30
Speaker 7: You get all that, and they are no, No, you're going over a thousand for a full breed. If you want a full breed Golden Retriever, you're not getting it for five hundred.

00:29:39
Speaker 3: I'd rather have a mutt.

00:29:41
Speaker 5: How much is a is a full whatever you just said, you're good, Like if you get a full breed doodle or Golden Retriever, you're thousands, you're into the thousands, some two to three, especially some of these doodles that they're crossbreed.

00:29:53
Speaker 7: You know, golden the.

00:29:55
Speaker 4: Most expensive dog, Let's say it like a reasonable like, like, what's the dog that people have that is the most expensive dog?

00:30:02
Speaker 5: Is it a Golden Retriever?

00:30:05
Speaker 7: I would I would assume it's those those full breed Then specifically the doodles that are all the rage.

00:30:10
Speaker 5: And what's a doodle?

00:30:11
Speaker 7: It's like they golden retriever and a poodle have a kid, and that's a golden dude.

00:30:16
Speaker 5: Like, yeah, what do you do to create googles?

00:30:20
Speaker 7: And well it's a big money and that's this does big money.

00:30:23
Speaker 5: That's kind of gross to me when you start cross like that.

00:30:27
Speaker 3: He's right, though, five thousand dollars some of these dogs go for you say, the most expense, Well, that's the most expensive ever ever sold. Five point seven. Imagine you spent five million dollars on.

00:30:36
Speaker 5: A dog and then what if you hated it or.

00:30:39
Speaker 3: It gets run over? Let it off? The reason immediately gets run over.

00:30:43
Speaker 5: Glenn, Go ahead, Glenn.

00:30:48
Speaker 14: Glenn, just just wondering. Yeah, I'm here looking for a little ranking here and in how things would flow. Which is better or worse?

00:30:59
Speaker 13: Showing up at a foot.

00:31:00
Speaker 14: Ball bowl game with a can of baked beans to cover your admission? Are we high school Friday night football? They have a four legged card table beside the sidewalk and a couple parents collecting the bait cans of baked beans? Or is it showing up at your company holiday pot luck with the can of green beans.

00:31:20
Speaker 4: Luck Shannon showing up with a can of green beans to the pot luck to me is is and I appreciate the call.

00:31:26
Speaker 5: It's very poor by I love Shann.

00:31:29
Speaker 3: But I didn't have to bring anything. I've at least put for an effort. You know I brought a can of beans.

00:31:36
Speaker 5: Is that an effort?

00:31:37
Speaker 15: Yes?

00:31:38
Speaker 5: Well, let me ask you. Did you buy the can of beans or were they just in your in your cab?

00:31:42
Speaker 3: They were just in there.

00:31:44
Speaker 5: I thought they were just there.

00:31:46
Speaker 4: Let me be clear. I want to make sure I get this right. It was Pat Land who sued Pat Smart only uses animals for humanes.

00:31:55
Speaker 3: I've got her answer on the most expensive breed, it's a tibet Tibetan mast of generally considered the most expensive breed of dog, and it averages somewhere between. It says two all the way up to ten thousand dollars for a dog, a Tibetan What masterstiff mastiff?

00:32:12
Speaker 5: What is that?

00:32:14
Speaker 7: I think it's like a mountain dog, isn't it?

00:32:16
Speaker 5: Shannon?

00:32:16
Speaker 7: Oh?

00:32:16
Speaker 3: Okay, so it's like you wouldn't want.

00:32:18
Speaker 5: To take you to Mount Everest.

00:32:20
Speaker 4: I saw a video this is off topic, shockingly of the top of Mount Everest, and I thought the top of Mount Everest was like deserted in my mind, like the people who made it there, they get there and there's like.

00:32:33
Speaker 5: This peaceful silence. Uh huh.

00:32:35
Speaker 4: There was a long line of people waiting in line to get to the top so they could take their picture and then go down the other side.

00:32:46
Speaker 5: Like it was like a five hour wait. It was like they were going to Denny's. And I thought, so here.

00:32:54
Speaker 4: I thought Mount Everest was like this peak of human achievement and everybody's standing there like they're with their baked beans.

00:33:03
Speaker 5: Trying to get in the book over.

00:33:04
Speaker 3: Isn't that easy to get to the top.

00:33:06
Speaker 7: I don't think it's easy.

00:33:07
Speaker 5: I just think that, like I guess so many people think they're whatever's yeah, mountain climbers.

00:33:13
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just saw the video. I mean it might have been fake, but I Dennis and Richmond go ahead, Dennis.

00:33:23
Speaker 16: I.

00:33:26
Speaker 11: I don't.

00:33:27
Speaker 17: I'm a person that thinks that as long as Kentucky is not giving equal money to the football program the rest of the SEC, then it doesn't matter who the coach is, they're not going to compete.

00:33:44
Speaker 5: Do you agree with that?

00:33:44
Speaker 7: Adam not necessarily because even if they had, if it was even across the board, Kentucky still offer They're still competing at a disadvantage because they don't have the resources or tradition as these other schools. Kentucky has to win in the margins. And that's that's still going to be true even if you got a little less money.

00:34:02
Speaker 4: But just like Indiana and vand did they win in the margins this year or did they just spend more money? Like I don't even know what's the answer to that question.

00:34:11
Speaker 7: They up there and eyel but they still want in the margins. They won with evaluation, implementation and star quarters.

00:34:16
Speaker 5: Do you still think they can do that? Yes?

00:34:18
Speaker 7: One hundred? Now whatever fiber am I being?

00:34:21
Speaker 6: Yes?

00:34:22
Speaker 5: With every fiber in your beam? Yeah? All right, there you go. I mean, Dennis, it's every fiber and his bean.

00:34:29
Speaker 6: Let me ask you this, uh wear in a cycle right now? Then we're gonna have to go out and finde a bunch offensive alignment again. And as soon as we're get in that cycle of wanting done, sim do.

00:34:41
Speaker 5: You agree with that?

00:34:42
Speaker 6: What are you seeing that?

00:34:43
Speaker 7: There's that's the first thing that Will Stein and this new offensive line coach have to fix. It's been a problem that has been kicked down the road and they have to fix it, and they have to fix it through high school recruiting. That's going to take a couple of years to fix.

00:34:56
Speaker 5: They're going to.

00:34:56
Speaker 4: Probably have to do another couple of years of seniors of portal lineman, but they've got to eventually rebuild them like this.

00:35:03
Speaker 7: This first twenty twenty seven class. When they get here, they have to get three to four guys like legit prospects that could come in and potentially be starts for you, where in the last couple of years they've only gotten one to two offensive linemen a year, Matt, and that's been a it's been a mistake, to be honest.

00:35:17
Speaker 4: Gotcha, if you have an outdated kitchen or bath or an unfinished basement, they're not gonna fix themselves.

00:39:10
Speaker 5: Todd Todd, Hey, guys.

00:39:15
Speaker 8: What off subject today, But just clarify about Billy Clyde American.

00:39:21
Speaker 14: I did not work at.

00:39:22
Speaker 8: American at the time. I worked for the sister store, Murray's across town.

00:39:26
Speaker 6: And it is a fact that what you're talking about.

00:39:31
Speaker 5: Also, so you're saying that Billy Clyde American story.

00:39:34
Speaker 3: Is correct, absolutely, Like, oh, well, doesn't surprise me.

00:39:41
Speaker 4: And and wait, wait, we can't go into details. But it involves like a pool, the swimming pool, right, yes.

00:40:08
Speaker 15: Hey, guys, I was curious if you ever heard Martin Pope talk about a pump steak at three point Lives you watch. I always thought it was kind of basketball one oh one. But if you do a pump steak and the defender leaves his feet instead of moving away from him, you can move into him and you get three free throws. And think our kids don't do that, And I don't know why.

00:40:30
Speaker 4: That's a fair point. I've wondered that over the years. I appreciate the call. Reggie Miller was the king of doing that, and other guys have too. You know, you go a pump fake when they jump, especially if they don't jump straight up and they jump at you go into him la myt Butler would do that. I think he did that a few times last year.

00:40:45
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think Kobe brad got I want to say he did the James Harden move where he you know.

00:40:50
Speaker 4: Move to me is dirty, Like I mean, people don't call it, but I don't think they should. Blake, go ahead, Blake.

00:40:57
Speaker 16: Hey, I just just wanted to say that I think taking calls on the radio during the bowl game is a fantastic idea. And then also also for Adam I just wanted to ask you said Cutter Bowl, he's going to be the starter next year, which I think is a great idea. So I think he showed he can play well. But is it the report that will Stein might bring that freshman or sophomore quarterback from Oregon that he recruited.

00:41:19
Speaker 5: Do you think he brings him in with him? Appreciate the call?

00:41:21
Speaker 7: I do not as of right now.

00:41:23
Speaker 5: All right there you go.

00:41:25
Speaker 3: This is very definitive and puts your name on it.

00:41:27
Speaker 5: I gotta say to you, that's what I like. You put your name on. You one't cat fan in your ear. You put your name on.

00:41:34
Speaker 7: They are invested in making sure Cutter Bowley this year, next year, and they want him to be the starting quarterback.

00:41:39
