00:00:34
Speaker 4: Now here's Matt Jones.

00:00:36
Speaker 2: Welcome everyone, It is Kentucky Sports Radio.

00:00:40
Speaker 5: We are Tuesday, November twenty fifth, just two days before Thanksgiving, and I'm Matt Jones on a rainy day in Louisville, Kentucky. Ryan and Drew are in Lexington. Shannon is at the studio. So it's one of those days where we're all over the place, but you can still give us a shout on the Clark's Pumping Shop phone line eight five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. A Vision Auto Glass text machine is seven seven two seven seven four five two, five four and this edition sponsored by the TJ Smith Lawless.

00:01:07
Speaker 2: If you call Tj'll make them pay.

00:01:10
Speaker 5: I thought yesterday was one of our better call days in a long time. A lot of different voices, a lot of people who gave different opinions. Uh, and I love to hear more from people today. I also yesterday, Ryan, I went back and looked at the text machine. Outside of days where I asked for a poll right where I say text yes or not right yes, outside of those days, this was the Yesterday was the most different phone numbers to ever text the text machine. Not the most text received, but the most different numbers were all during the show yesterday in the history of the text machine.

00:01:54
Speaker 6: Well, you said it, it was one of It was a top three day for callers, but a lot of different voices, a lot of people we've never heard from. I'm sure you're seeing the same thing on that text machine.

00:02:03
Speaker 5: I think it's just a lot of people, dorew have strong opinions about everything that's going on, and it's good to see. It confirms my view that I've held, which is I think the majority of the fans want to change. I think there is a significant minority that don't, but the majority do. But when you get to the issue of firing, it becomes a little more complex. And you even saw it with the four opinions on this show yesterday, So I hopefully we get to do more of that today.

00:02:33
Speaker 2: Yep.

00:02:33
Speaker 7: Everybody's just fans that wants their team to win games and be a little better. And right now across the board, we're a little bit of a slump and it's got people worked up.

00:02:41
Speaker 2: Now. You know, oftentimes Ryan, I start these shows.

00:02:47
Speaker 5: By complaining about something. Have you noticed that ever over the years.

00:02:51
Speaker 6: I've never known you to complain? Come on, what are you talking about?

00:02:54
Speaker 5: Occasionally something frustrates me. You know what happened, It's happening.

00:02:58
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna shows for I'm gonna.

00:03:00
Speaker 2: Throw it a little bit different.

00:03:01
Speaker 5: I'm actually going to say something that I want to compliment Ryan, an institution that never gets complimented.

00:03:08
Speaker 6: Okay, all right, all right.

00:03:11
Speaker 2: So this probably will surprise you all.

00:03:15
Speaker 5: But a few weeks back, I realized that my driver's license and my car registration was all had all expired.

00:03:24
Speaker 6: Come on, you gotta be kidding me. Shocking news there?

00:03:27
Speaker 2: That does that surprise you?

00:03:29
Speaker 7: Drew that not even not even a little bit.

00:03:33
Speaker 6: Probably expired three years ago.

00:03:35
Speaker 5: They did not expire three years ago. The car may have expired Shannon in a little while.

00:03:40
Speaker 3: The license, the skittles who gave me yesterday.

00:03:44
Speaker 2: Okay, that's what I'm getting at all.

00:03:45
Speaker 8: Right, So so so a few weeks ago, a few weeks ago, had had a wreck and it was not it was not great.

00:03:56
Speaker 5: It was actually uh it was actually kind of a bad wreck and you know, total of my car. And in the process of dealing with it, uh, we realized through that these things had happened. By we, I mean everybody, because everybody makes mistakes, right, like things happen.

00:04:12
Speaker 7: Like when you say everybody, it's you and and who are the other parties?

00:04:16
Speaker 5: I mean the other parties would be the police, right that we came to the rack, you know that kind of thing. So uh so you know, I mean I'm gonna have to to to you know, you get a Shannon, you get a ticket for that, right And so I'm I'm had I had to yesterday go and get all this stuff updated. By the way, on Sunday, I went to see the car because I'm you know, I'm not gonna be able to drive it.

00:04:44
Speaker 2: Again.

00:04:45
Speaker 5: And I you may remember, Ryan, there's a bunch of stuff in my car in the back seat.

00:04:50
Speaker 6: No, I get another shocker. You got a bunch of junk in your car?

00:04:53
Speaker 2: I had.

00:04:54
Speaker 5: You know, I've had that car since twenty seventeen, two hundred and thirty five thousand miles on that on that leg, serve. It really has served me well. I mean I didn't want to to I didn't want to wreck it.

00:05:06
Speaker 4: Not a single oil change, no.

00:05:08
Speaker 2: Six to eight, probably.

00:05:13
Speaker 5: Sixty eight over the course of the time, right, and I uh, it had served me well.

00:05:20
Speaker 2: But when it when it happened, it was raining.

00:05:23
Speaker 5: So some things didn't survive, right, some things, some things did.

00:05:27
Speaker 2: Not make it through the wreck.

00:05:28
Speaker 5: I think I lost twelve New Yorkers New Yorker magazines.

00:05:32
Speaker 4: They're they're they're.

00:05:34
Speaker 2: The rest in peace. Some gifts that were given to me over.

00:05:39
Speaker 5: The years from various shows maybe didn't make like T shirts and that kind of thing, right, Some of that didn't make it. Some things did make it, including uh so I had a box of packs of skittles, probably eight to nine skittles that were.

00:05:57
Speaker 2: Strewn strown all over the car.

00:06:00
Speaker 5: So I thought it would be nice yesterday and give one of the packs to Shannon. True, isn't that nice of me to give one of the packs of my cars skittles that survived to Shannon.

00:06:11
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's so nice if you're so generous, especially at this time of year.

00:06:14
Speaker 2: Shannon, you didn't realized maybe it was a little old.

00:06:17
Speaker 3: Well, I didn't think to look at, you know, the expiration date on the skittles, as I always.

00:06:23
Speaker 2: You don't think about skittles expired.

00:06:25
Speaker 3: No, I thought skittles were evergreen ticket to have them through the apocalypse and skittles would still be good. But no, I was wrong because I nearly broke a tooth on how hard these skittles were. Now I have to mention they taste it disgusting and nothing like a skittle.

00:06:39
Speaker 4: So I go, what is the expiration date on these?

00:06:42
Speaker 3: And it was August of twenty twenty one, So you gave me four year old skittles.

00:06:47
Speaker 5: I don't think people realized. I don't know, Ryan, did people realize skittles expired?

00:06:51
Speaker 6: I would think they would last through eternity, I can confirm.

00:06:56
Speaker 5: So, Shannon, I'm sorry about giving you expired skittle. I'll also let you know the drew the pickle jar.

00:07:07
Speaker 2: It survived.

00:07:09
Speaker 7: Oh good, I remember I remember buying that I was gonna practice chugging pickle juice about six years ago.

00:07:15
Speaker 5: It survived the wreck and uh and and was fine. So yesterday was all right, I'm gonna have to like clean all this stuff up, right, So I'm gonna have to go get my license renewed and go get my registration renewed. And I don't know when I've done this process over.

00:07:29
Speaker 2: The year's ride.

00:07:30
Speaker 5: It is like a tedious process can take hours, you know, sitting and waiting, right, So I had prepared essentially my entire afternoon in Louisville to deal with this stuff. I have to give a shout out to the Jefferson County DMV and Jefferson County Clerk's office. I was in and out of the d m V in like twelve minutes with a renewed license, and in and out of the clerk's office in maybe four minutes having paid the registration. I can't believe how efficient these government offices have become. And as somebody who would certainly complain if it was otherwise, Ryan, I feel like they deserve a salute. They do when's the last time you got a license? When's the last time you went out that you went there?

00:08:22
Speaker 6: Jose and I just did it like a couple months ago he turned eighteen.

00:08:25
Speaker 2: Was it quick for you?

00:08:26
Speaker 6: It lasted probably an hour hour and a half.

00:08:29
Speaker 2: Okay, So is that Fayette County?

00:08:31
Speaker 6: Fayette County?

00:08:32
Speaker 2: All right? They need to learn from Jefferson County.

00:08:34
Speaker 5: They need to learn because you walk in Shannon now and it's completely different. You know how it used to be a multi step process. You talk to this person, then you'd go get an eye task, then you go take a picture, then you'd wait for them to print it off.

00:08:46
Speaker 2: You know what I mean. Yeah, now you can do it all with one person.

00:08:49
Speaker 3: You had a completely different, different experience than I did because it was years ago though, but it took me like two hours to go exactly.

00:08:56
Speaker 5: But I'm saying they've done something now good because you can walk up there, you take the little eye test in seconds, like it's right there with the lady. She takes the picture in seconds. They look and they burder, murder to be whoop and next thing you know, nowadays, I guess they have to go through this process so you don't get it there you get a temporary one and then they'll send you the other one. Right, but it's amazingly efficient. And then I went out and did the registration out on Beulah Church Road, a road I don't know exists Excepttionnon. When I need to get my registration done every few years, yep in and out quick like you know how you used to have to pull those numbers and all that. Now they text you, they're like, bam, you're ready. The whole process forty five minutes. And I just want to salute Ryan, our government workers in the Jefferson County DMV and county clerk, because what used to be the most miserable experience you could have actually is unbelievably positive.

00:09:54
Speaker 6: Usually the way is just waiting to get in front of the lady to take your picture, to all that stuff was. You may have timed it perfect a Monday on a holiday. You may have picked the perfect time.

00:10:01
Speaker 2: Do you think that was just the right time to go?

00:10:03
Speaker 6: Maybe was not very crowded in there in the waiting room.

00:10:06
Speaker 5: I mean there were people, but it felt like a lot more people were working through and it felt like.

00:10:10
Speaker 2: There was a springing their step.

00:10:13
Speaker 5: You know what, I mean like they didn't look you know, sometimes you'll go and government workers look like they want to be anywhere on earth. But there these people were friendly, and I just I just thought they deserved a salute, and maybe maybe people should go get their license renewed as part of a holiday experience.

00:10:31
Speaker 7: Now you're talking about a group and a place that's kind of known as a joke, as a place nobody wants to go and as always the worst. So I'm glad you're shining a spotlight on Louisville for being a place that's getting done efficiently.

00:10:41
Speaker 2: So Louisville takes.

00:10:42
Speaker 5: A lot of crap for things, Shannon, But I thought I would I would give a salute to that because it went extremely well.

00:10:49
Speaker 2: And now I am arguably up to date.

00:10:53
Speaker 4: Do you have the real ID now or do you have?

00:10:55
Speaker 2: Well, so the real ID? You have to have a lot of stuff.

00:10:59
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I'd brought I'd brought all the bills that have your address right, and I'd bought, brought my license, and i'd brought there was something else, but then I didn't know you have to have a Social Security card?

00:11:13
Speaker 4: Who has that?

00:11:15
Speaker 2: Who does have? Do you have? Like? Where does one even get that.

00:11:19
Speaker 6: It's like it's on your tax record. You could have brought your tax records that they had.

00:11:22
Speaker 2: It's supposed to bring your taxes.

00:11:25
Speaker 6: Anything that shows your your Social Security number, like your passport anything.

00:11:29
Speaker 2: I had a passport that didn't work.

00:11:32
Speaker 6: Maybe didn't have your social Security number on it.

00:11:34
Speaker 4: Oh, well, we would have to I would think a passport would right.

00:11:37
Speaker 2: Well, I brought my passport.

00:11:38
Speaker 5: She said I needed a Social Security card and I don't even know where do you even get those?

00:11:46
Speaker 4: Where do you have to apply for it? You know, through the government, apply through who?

00:11:50
Speaker 2: Who do I talk to?

00:11:52
Speaker 3: Social Security dot com?

00:11:55
Speaker 2: Do you all have a Social Security card?

00:11:57
Speaker 9: Yeah?

00:11:57
Speaker 2: I do know.

00:11:58
Speaker 5: Okay, Well so Shanning, you don't, all right, I'll stick with you. Yeah, Ryan, where did you get yours?

00:12:05
Speaker 6: I got mine when I was like sixteen years old and it's still still I still have it. Yeah, did you laminated at least? Yeah? That's laminated.

00:12:12
Speaker 5: You still have it from when you're sixteen years old?

00:12:15
Speaker 2: Yep?

00:12:15
Speaker 6: I sure do. Yeah, I know exactly where it is.

00:12:19
Speaker 2: Oh wow, So you said I can use my taxes.

00:12:22
Speaker 6: Well I thought that when we did it, I didn't mine. I brought my tax return because it has your social Security number on it showed them that.

00:12:29
Speaker 5: They told me, they're like, you have to have all these documents, and I had them all except they were like, you don't have a social Security card. And I did look at the woman and I go, I don't know what that is. Where do you get that?

00:12:39
Speaker 6: So are you going back to try to get the real idea?

00:12:41
Speaker 2: Yeah? I just got the license.

00:12:43
Speaker 5: You know, there was a time crunch here, Shane, and there are things that I needed to go ahead and get the li likes.

00:12:47
Speaker 3: I'm just proud of you actually getting updated. I mean, how adult of you.

00:12:51
Speaker 2: It's true, I would argue very adult to have all your paperwork.

00:12:55
Speaker 7: And also this is almost all your paperwork.

00:12:58
Speaker 2: Well the real idea, what do you need a real ID for flying? But you get the path.

00:13:03
Speaker 5: But you can use your passport right, which is what I've been using. So is there anything else I need it for? Is there anything you need that for that you can't use a passport?

00:13:12
Speaker 7: Just just living in modern times, I guess. But I mean, your license is fun and it's good for eight years, whereas I think the regular license.

00:13:19
Speaker 2: Is just like four years.

00:13:20
Speaker 5: Well, you can now get your regular license for eight years too. Okay, but I still think you should get a real idea. The real idea was only two dollars more.

00:13:28
Speaker 4: But it's a money grab. What's the difference a.

00:13:31
Speaker 2: Social Security card?

00:13:32
Speaker 3: Apparently apparently anything is an ID.

00:13:37
Speaker 5: And it would seem to me that the Social Security Guard, I'm probably a card.

00:13:41
Speaker 2: I'm probably shan't gonna have to go pay for.

00:13:43
Speaker 4: Too, right, I would think you. I guess you. I guess me too. I'll be right in line next to you. I got to get one too.

00:13:49
Speaker 5: I can't believe you've had that since you were sixteen and you haven't lost it.

00:13:53
Speaker 6: No, I still got my sixteen year old signature on it.

00:13:56
Speaker 2: Is it in your wallet?

00:13:57
Speaker 6: No, it's in an in my drawer my house.

00:14:00
Speaker 7: I think I got mine as a newborn, and it's I still have it.

00:14:03
Speaker 5: Yeah, well I do still have my birth certificate, which is amazing if you think about it.

00:14:08
Speaker 7: To keep skittles in the car, it survived the right, No it's not.

00:14:13
Speaker 2: It's not part of the skittles.

00:14:15
Speaker 5: But anyway, So there's your little update, which I know everybody needed. A five nine, two eighth twenty two eighty seven. Uh, the text machine is seven seven two seven seven four five two five four. We had a Mark Stoops call in show and a Mark Pope call in show last night, and both of them were very noosy. We will talk about them and what it means. That's all next here on KAZAR Welcome Back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. A lot of people saying on the text machine, Ryan, they have the Social Security car from when they were a kid.

00:14:47
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's surprising to me. Put in your safe deposit, Bardy.

00:14:51
Speaker 5: They give it to you when you were a kid, Like, is that something they handed out at school or something, because I don't think I ever got one.

00:14:58
Speaker 4: I remember having one at one point. I think my mom just gave it to me, But I don't know where it is.

00:15:03
Speaker 2: I think when you're when you're born, you get the baby and say.

00:15:07
Speaker 6: No to you. Like Drew said he's had his debaate. I think they mail it to your after you finally get assign one number.

00:15:14
Speaker 5: Well, for people, apparently you can go and you can get it. You can get it at the social Security website, Shannon, for those for me and you, Okay, the real idea there, people are telling me is twelve dollars more. I thought it was three one person rights. Real idea is a cash grab, just like Shannon, So they can follow our every move. I hate it. Yeah, that sounds like something you would say.

00:15:35
Speaker 4: Just so well. I did say that first sement.

00:15:38
Speaker 2: You said they can follow your every move.

00:15:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, I said the cash graph thing.

00:15:41
Speaker 3: But that's pretty much it, right, I mean they can follow you regardless, if you see.

00:15:45
Speaker 2: That's my view they can already.

00:15:46
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, So Drew UK volleyball one last night, Yeah, semifinals. Tonight is the finals at seven o'clock. We're gonna have a watch party at the bar. We're I think you're coming, aren't you, Drew.

00:15:58
Speaker 2: I'm kind of there. Yes, yes, sir, Ryan, you're gonna be able to stop by.

00:16:01
Speaker 6: Absolutely, I'm coming for this. All right, good, this is exciting.

00:16:04
Speaker 5: We haven't had watch party with all of us there in a long time. So come on out and let's they play in the SEC Championship. They played Texas and that'll be tonight at seven o'clock. Congrats the women. They fell down early last night to Tennessee and then came back and won the next three sets.

00:16:21
Speaker 2: Okay, let's go over these call in shows. First. Let's start with Stoops.

00:16:24
Speaker 5: Drew Stoops says in the call in show, he didn't say I'm back, but he said almost everything except that. He talked about recruiting. He talked about how they're getting Juco players. He talked about why they're getting Juco players instead of high school guys, basically saying, if I'm gonna spend this money, it's gotta be for guys that contribute. That's a different discussion we could have another day. But then he says, Cutter Bowley is committed to coming back in twenty twenty six. It was definitive. There was no caveat, there was no if this. He just said, Cutter Bowley is committed to coming back in twenty twenty six, and we're gonna build around him.

00:16:58
Speaker 2: How did you take those comments?

00:17:00
Speaker 7: I was listening to the whole show. I had volleyball on mute while listening to most coaches shows. Unique experience there, but that would turn my head a little bit. Kind of perked up and looked at my radio, like did he just say that out loud? He said something along the lines of Cutter has always been all in, uh can he wants to be here and we got to build around him. It was you know, I thought Cutter would make that decision in a few weeks or beyond. But Stoop's kind of tease this with where he's leaning and sounds like it might already be done.

00:17:25
Speaker 5: First of all, do you I mean, but I don't think you say that right unless you assume you're coming back.

00:17:32
Speaker 2: Is that fair? Correct?

00:17:33
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's talking about future, future future. There was also the line of like it or not, I'm a Kentuckian. He's like, I.

00:17:38
Speaker 2: Didn't like it. I didn't like that line. I mean, why does he feel the need to say like it or not?

00:17:44
Speaker 7: I guess it is kind of addressing his critics indirectly, like whether you want me to be here or not?

00:17:49
Speaker 2: But I don't think any one is like you're not a Kentuckian, do you.

00:17:55
Speaker 5: I mean maybe there's some people, but I don't think most people are like that, even the ones who want to change.

00:18:00
Speaker 2: I don't think they're filled with get out of here.

00:18:02
Speaker 7: You got him out of the bourbon shop and get it.

00:18:05
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:18:06
Speaker 5: I don't believe that's okay. That felt a little defensive, But Ryan, how did you read the comments?

00:18:11
Speaker 2: Uh?

00:18:11
Speaker 6: He definitely sounded like a guy that plans on being here next year. And when he first said that about Cutter, I gotta be honest, My first reaction was, ooh, you kind of threw that kid under the bus. You kind of kind of handcuffed him. Now if you cause now, if something happens he leads, now it's a he's a bad look on him. But then I thought a little more, dude, it's a perfect time to say that this is game week for Louisville. Now we're gonna get You need a little bit more excitement than that.

00:18:31
Speaker 5: Look, do you do you think there's a chance that he did put Cutter in a tough spot that Cutter like really hasn't decided And now you've put that out there.

00:18:40
Speaker 6: Well, I just you know, before the season's over to make that comment, that's not really I didn't think I'm initially fair to cut her. But like I said, the more I thought about it, like, man, this is Louisville week. That's gonna everybody fired up and know he's coming back and they can rally and.

00:18:54
Speaker 2: He better he better know he's right.

00:18:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that he would maybe have a conversation with Cutter before gonna say that.

00:19:00
Speaker 5: But that sounded like something to me that Cutter might have said, but not necessarily wanted him to say it on the radio.

00:19:08
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know. I mean, honestly, I have no idea.

00:19:12
Speaker 5: I will say Cutter being back would make people much more positive about it.

00:19:19
Speaker 2: Yea.

00:19:20
Speaker 5: But that is a very definitive statement. And so what I would say is, if you're gonna do that definitive statement.

00:19:26
Speaker 6: You better be right.

00:19:27
Speaker 5: You better be right. So I have no reason to think he's not right, So I'll assume he is. But if but if Cutter had not said that to him, you could see how Cutter Ryan and his family might not be thrilled about that.

00:19:43
Speaker 6: Right, I kind of squinch flinch a little bit.

00:19:46
Speaker 2: If Witch or Finch finch anything.

00:19:49
Speaker 6: You hear your head coach like, oh, we're not ready to announce that yet. You know, maybe they were gonna what was gonna happen with with the head coach and the offensive coordinator before they decide if he's definitively coming back.

00:20:00
Speaker 2: Who's up first?

00:20:02
Speaker 4: Let's go to Kyle.

00:20:03
Speaker 2: Kyle, go ahead, Kyle.

00:20:06
Speaker 10: Hey, Matt, So I'm a football fan talking about I'm not necessarily a playoff or bust guy, but I do think the type of Bowl or level of ble you play and does matter or who your opponent will be, especially considering this year with the teams we have beaten. I just wanted you to clarify maybe some comments you made about a month ago, specifically about when you had thought that Stups's contract had the provision of an extension for a six and six season for one extra year. Now, that's not how it is. And then we go on this win streak, this little win streak, and then you you didn't mention that this season would be good if we went six and six. Can you just clarify?

00:20:42
Speaker 5: I don't if I don't know if I said the word good, I did say that it would be.

00:20:50
Speaker 2: Well.

00:20:50
Speaker 5: Maybe maybe I don't know what I said, but I'm sure, But here's how I feel. I think if they go six and six, that's a two game improvement from last year made a Bowl, and I don't think you can get rid of him, and it is an improvement. This team is better than the team last year. Now, whether it's significantly better to where it sort of makes you feel positive about the future, that's a different question.

00:21:15
Speaker 2: I don't really know.

00:21:16
Speaker 5: How positive I feel about the future, but I do think if you started the season and you asked fans, what is a season that would be a success, that might have been the word I use, a success. I think most of them would have said, it has to be at least six and six.

00:21:33
Speaker 2: So that's why I go.

00:21:34
Speaker 10: Up with the idea of extending him a year, though for a six and well.

00:21:39
Speaker 5: Because I don't like because I don't need I don't want six and six forever. Right, Okay, So if you if you're six and six and then I'm giving you another year. Remember what my argument was when I thought the contract said he got a year every time he got a Bowl, and yet was a six year deal. What I said is that's a terrible contract because you're giving him six chances to fail and he still gets it keeps going, right, So I didn't like that. But here's what I think six and six is. It's a year worthy of probably keeping your job. But at the same time, you don't get an extra year for going six and six.

00:22:21
Speaker 2: Does that make sense?

00:22:23
Speaker 10: I appreciate, Yes, I appreciate you for clarifying that.

00:22:25
Speaker 5: I could see a contract drew where you said, every time you win nine games, you get an extra year. But I don't really like a contract in today where you get an extra year just for winning six.

00:22:36
Speaker 7: Yeah, especially in a year where heck, this year could look like we're gonna win six. I think we're actually gonna kill Leusville on Saturday. But people are still down over a six one year because I'm already I've bet the alternate spread at minus six and a half. Boy, I'm all in.

00:22:52
Speaker 5: Well, that's interesting, because well we'll talk about it. We'll take a break, be right back. This is KSR.

00:22:58
Speaker 2: TJ.

00:22:58
Speaker 7: Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ. He'll make them pay.

00:23:02
Speaker 3: Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio present it by Stockton Mortgage.

00:23:06
Speaker 4: Here's Matt Jones.

00:23:07
Speaker 2: I have good news, breaking news or no, just good news? Ryan?

00:23:13
Speaker 5: Do you not care about my good news? Usually that you would make an excited sound.

00:23:17
Speaker 6: I'm on the edge of my seat antysipally a waiting.

00:23:19
Speaker 7: I already know what it is.

00:23:21
Speaker 5: My mom has my social Security people text me that Karen's gonna text ma and say she has it.

00:23:28
Speaker 2: Who said that some pismonic so you guessed.

00:23:32
Speaker 7: Well, that's kind of normal, like you get it when you're young, and sometimes mom will hang on to it and put in a safety Pozzy Boxers box have it, Shannon, I don't have to go get it.

00:23:40
Speaker 4: Well, congratulations, Now I'll be the only one on.

00:23:42
Speaker 2: Line that you'll be the only one to do it.

00:23:44
Speaker 5: Uh. One person writes, man, I'm seventy eight years old and I'm like Ryan, and I still have my original card.

00:23:52
Speaker 2: Jeff Drummond wrote me.

00:23:53
Speaker 5: And said he still has his and it looks like an American Revolution document.

00:23:57
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a little little ratty around the edges.

00:24:00
Speaker 2: So you laminated yours? Did you like? Go somewhere professionals.

00:24:03
Speaker 6: I don't think it's not I don't. I don't think it's lamina. I think I just got in a little plastic bag.

00:24:07
Speaker 7: Mine looks like Jeff Drummonds. It looks like it's been a war. It's not laminated.

00:24:12
Speaker 2: Who knew? Who knew? That was guess.

00:24:14
Speaker 6: I'm surprised you haven't needed years at some point.

00:24:16
Speaker 5: I don't think anybody's ever asked me for it. This birth certificate. I remember having to go through a process to get because I needed it for something. But yeah, never never knew until this real id that this was the thing we need to do before. Let me go back Drew for a second, you said you think we're gonna win. Yesterday, you know, we were talking about you were kind of being frank Franklin and Ryan was kind of being Ryan optimistic about the Stoops thing, and we had four kind of very different opinions about what the future should be. Maybe I didn't understand if you think we're gonna win and go six and six at that point, is it you support bringing Stoops back or is it like I don't really love it, but I think we have to.

00:25:00
Speaker 7: Well I don't think you can fire them with six wins. My whole issue almost doesn't involve Mark Stoops that much. It's that they're gonna go into this year and they're gonna act like there's not a football season again. Last year from December to August was embarrassing. Me and Nick Rousch and Adam Luckett went to whatever they called that spring game. We were there early. We're the only people that tweeted about it. UK Football did not send out a tweet on the day of their spring games, like are we the ones doing the promotion here? Then you have Texas Ole, Miss Florida, Tennessee. You can't sell out one game. Mitch Barnhardt is the longest tenured eight in the conference. Mark your probably right the whole operation. How are we the worst game day atmosphere when we have the longest tenured coach, the longest tenured ad Like the fact I know several people that were in Vandy, many of them work for KSR. They came back like, well, we could never do that. Well, how in the world is it about to be year fourteen of Stoops and Mitch has been here twenty something years and we can't possibly match Vandy's game day atmosphere. I mean, what are we doing?

00:26:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I don't disagree with some of those.

00:26:03
Speaker 7: And also I do think they win Saturday, but a lot of that is because Louisville doesn't have players. In my prediction I wrote this yesterday. My prediction is if they win, will be exact. I even predicted the Duke's Mail Bowl. If we go to that, I'm taking my victory like.

00:26:16
Speaker 2: Like we're shaving. This version of Drew Franklin. It doesn't come out a lot. I'm talking about. This version of Drew Franklin is a rare sight.

00:26:28
Speaker 5: It came out a couple times at the end of Cow but we called him frank there.

00:26:35
Speaker 2: This version gets through. Is not a guy who gets worked up. I've known him for many years.

00:26:42
Speaker 5: This seems to particularly get at you, all the things you're talking about. And I think it's and I do think you're speaking for a decent group of the fan base who feels the way you.

00:26:54
Speaker 2: Do about it.

00:26:56
Speaker 5: But you're saying it's really not about Hang on a second, you're saying it's real not about Stoops being the coach or not.

00:27:04
Speaker 2: It's the direction of the program as a whole.

00:27:07
Speaker 7: Correct. I mean, I actually have I'm a little sympathetic to Stoops. It's not his job to go out and sell tickets now. He needs to win games. Absolutely, people don't go when they don't win. But I think the whole operation has been an embarrassment lately. We are so far behind on nil. We're like a tech company that ignored the Internet for several years and now we're gonna have to catch up playing from behind. And I know I don't do this very often. It's not like I just wake up grumpy. I did it for basketball because we haven't played on Saturday of the SEC Tournament since twenty eighteen. At some point we got to be like, all right, this is getting pretty damn bad, so thank you for letting me cook one more time. And it starts at the top.

00:27:44
Speaker 6: Frank is back.

00:27:46
Speaker 7: How do you not sell out a football game a home sec with that schedule? In Kinglin.

00:27:53
Speaker 5: I'm with you, and I agree with almost everything you said. I do think that is a those are made your issues the sort of culture around UK football, and the reality is they need they need an injection of fresh blood, whether that's at the ad level or whether that's somewhere else. We have people who worked in the train industry trying to run the plane industry and that's not a recipe for success. There needs to be new blood injected in on the football side. Specifically, when you change coaching staffs, you buy very nature, inject new blood. But if Stoops is going to be back, which it looks like he is, there needs to be a conscientious effort to inject life and new blood into all the things that Drew's talking about.

00:28:44
Speaker 2: I agree with him completely. Who's next.

00:28:46
Speaker 4: Let's go to.

00:28:47
Speaker 2: Run, run, Go ahead, run. How are you doing, Matt and good doing good?

00:28:54
Speaker 11: I got two comments and then I have a question. My first comment is I'm of the impression I've been talking to listen to your real ID stuff. You have to have a real ID to travel out of this United States.

00:29:08
Speaker 2: You have to have a passport. You can have a passport.

00:29:10
Speaker 5: Really, you have to have a real ID to get on a plane now, or you can have a passport.

00:29:15
Speaker 2: So I've been using my passport.

00:29:18
Speaker 11: I got you, Okay, I was earning their impression because I just got my real idea about six months ago.

00:29:22
Speaker 5: Yeah, but you can't travel out of the country with that. You'd still have to get a passport. Even with your you can travel around the country, but to leave the country, you're gonna have to have a passport.

00:29:32
Speaker 11: Yeah, I got you. And then my other comment is if well, we have to beat Lovell Saturday regardless because of their beat up so bad.

00:29:42
Speaker 9: So if he loses to Lovelle, I feel like he needs to be fired. If he beats lovel if he beats Louisville, then you probably keep him, and you for sure keep him. If he goes to a bowl game, beats Level and we go to a bowl game and.

00:29:56
Speaker 5: Win, well, I appreciate the call. I mean he gonna be capped if they beat Louisville. You know, Ryan, if they lose to Louisville. It's that purgatory we talked about five and seven. A lot of people are gonna want him gone. They're probably not gonna get rid of him and everything Drew just said and that about changing things, right, I think that becomes triplely true if you lose to Louisville. I mean, it's true anyway, but it's even more true if you lose.

00:30:25
Speaker 6: To Louisville, especially the Louisville team that's limping in they've lost three in a row. Every day there's somebody another starter from Louisville that's hurt.

00:30:34
Speaker 5: They've quit, right, And then there's like I'm not saying they're gonna quit Saturday, but like you know, when your top three running backs, your top wide receiver are not playing, and your top quarterback may not play, Shanean, you gotta win that game.

00:30:49
Speaker 4: You have to.

00:30:50
Speaker 2: Yep.

00:30:51
Speaker 3: I know Kentucky's got some injuries on defense, but they've got more problems than we've got.

00:30:57
Speaker 4: The quarterback situations all in their culture.

00:30:59
Speaker 5: I mean, first of all, they the fans seem to hate the quarterback. The quarterback threw the team under the bus and then was basically dropped a weight on his foot and wasn't able to play, and then they put two rookies in and they were awful. Like, you just have to win that game. And I actually think Louisville has as much, if not more talent than us this year, but because of everything's going into it, you're gonna have to probably find a way to win that. It's interesting how things have flipped so much since a month ago when it comes to the Louisville game. I mean, Louisville was louivill was looking at the playoffs four weeks ago.

00:31:31
Speaker 3: You know, they're just starting quarterback through for ninety four yards last week.

00:31:35
Speaker 5: Yeah, man, a lot of it and most of it was on the first drive and then he like didn't do anything the rest of it.

00:31:40
Speaker 2: There's now Jerry, Jerry, go ahead, Jerry, hey man.

00:31:45
Speaker 12: You know I called off the Florida game and kind of called me out because he says been a little too negative. But I mean, anybody that could enjoy that Florida beat down after the spurger beat downs has got something wrong with you. But by the concern then is that people were getting all out over your skis talking about Bowl games everything else. After that game because I knew Vandy was really good and I was afraid, what's gonna happen? Last it's gonna happen. They go forward to the little game Louisville, like you said, looked real different three weeks ago. And this thing, Sarry depends on this quarterback. And you know, but I think you're no matter what happens, Sarity, I think you know, it's one person that matters, and that's Barney, and he's made his man that mine have to bring Suits back. So we're just gonna have to see what Suits does. But I think personally, for me, if they don't make some major change on the offensive side of the ball, then that, you know, then I just don't see it getting any better. And I just my my concern. I just see this being a kind of a slow bleed out rather than if they had lost those two games it had been a quick.

00:32:44
Speaker 2: You may be right about that. It could it could be.

00:32:47
Speaker 5: It could be, and I appreciate the calling prayers about your death. I it very well could be that.

00:32:53
Speaker 2: Listen.

00:32:54
Speaker 5: There's a difference between whether or not I think he's gonna come back. There are three different positions. Whether I think he's gonna come back, and I think he is. Whether or not I think he should be back, and I lean towards it'd be better for the program if he wasn't. And then question three, whether or I think it's gonna work, and I'm the it's gonna work. I'm a pessimist, unfortunate, and I hope to become not a pessimist.

00:33:20
Speaker 2: But that's where I am right now.

00:33:22
Speaker 5: If you're looking for a great holiday gift by no Cha Linda gift card shot their Black Friday Deals, you get twenty percent off your purchase November eighteenth through the thirtieth by any amount gift card, and you pay only eighty percent.

Speaker 5: So, Shannon, you and I are getting killed for not having a Social Security card.

00:34:22
Speaker 2: People can't believe it.

00:34:23
Speaker 4: Why can't they believe were the only two people that don't have it.

00:34:26
Speaker 2: I do not believe we're the only two people that don't have it. Yeah.

00:34:29
Speaker 5: One person says, Matt, you're not allowed to get a job without a social Security card because I've had a lot of job card. I've never I've never had it for one job.

00:34:40
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:34:40
Speaker 5: No, I got a new job with the NFL. Nobody did they ask you? Did they ask you for Drew for your social Security card?

00:34:47
Speaker 2: No?

00:34:47
Speaker 7: I have one, but I don't know the last time I've actually needed it.

00:34:50
Speaker 5: You just know your number. That's a lie, sir, or mayam. One person says, Ryan is so Ryan. It is actually illegal to laminate your social Security card.

00:35:01
Speaker 6: It's in like a baseball card sleeve. It's like a plastic sleeve. I said, laminated, laminated, but it's like a little cover.

00:35:09
Speaker 2: You didn't laminate it.

00:35:11
Speaker 4: Right next to your Darryl Strawberry Tops card.

00:35:17
Speaker 5: You go, He's like, here's my Mark maguire, here's my Berry Bonds, and here is my Social Security card.

00:35:25
Speaker 2: He traded it for a Billy Ripkin.

00:35:27
Speaker 6: Card, called that Billy Ripkin card.

00:35:31
Speaker 5: And now now he doesn't have it anymore. You know what, I watched drew a lot of the Players Era Championship last night. Watched a lot of tournament, had it on while I was doing things. And the atmosphere is not great because there's not a ton of people there, but the games sure are great. And Syracuse and Houston had a battle that was awesome. Alabama Gonzaga. You know, I watched that one pretty closely because we're gonna play both teams, and I'm not the most competent again those teams right now, I think, you know, we've bet the fact we have to play Gonzaga in what.

00:36:04
Speaker 2: Like a week and a half.

00:36:08
Speaker 5: They look really good, and yeah, what do you think about it?

00:36:14
Speaker 7: I'm a I'm a confident Kentucky basketball fan ninety nine times out of one hundred. But when I was watching Gonzaga Alabama, I was like, oh no, I mean, Gonzaga looks like a machine. They could be the number one team when that game rolls around.

00:36:27
Speaker 2: I think they are number I mean they're good.

00:36:29
Speaker 5: They're good, and if you look at their schedule, they could lose win. So they play today, I think they play somebody bad today, so they're gonna win today. And then obviously Shannon with that stupid you make the finals if you score the most points or whatever. Yea, So it's not clear who they'll play Winnesday, but presumably they'll play somebody good because they're gonna be two or zho whether they're in the championship or not, we'll see if they don't lose that game. If you look at their schedule, like we're the only team that has a chance to beat them. If they win this week their next two games, Ryan they have a really good chance of going undefeated because you know, their conference stinks, so that I mean they might go into the tournament like thirty one in.

00:37:15
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, they play Maryland today.

00:37:18
Speaker 5: Okay, they're gonna kill them. Who else they played? Does he may have their schedule?

00:37:22
Speaker 2: The play? It's really just us? Oh are they okay? Well maybe they're better?

00:37:32
Speaker 5: Okay, so maybe they maybe there's a chance they Look where is that game?

00:37:37
Speaker 2: They're not gonna lose that.

00:37:39
Speaker 6: I mean, I think they're the best team in the country by far. I think they are. You do, yeah, yeah, they're.

00:37:45
Speaker 5: Crazy because like it's first of all, ek has played there for how long does that get to be?

00:37:49
Speaker 7: And he's killed us?

00:37:52
Speaker 5: He killed us last year? Yeah, he kills us. Brandon Garrison who when you watch those games? Though, By the way, Tennessee's gonna end up making the finals because they won by twenty five yesterday because they played Rutgers, right, so they who do they play today?

00:38:13
Speaker 2: Who's Tennessee play today? So they'll have to win today.

00:38:16
Speaker 5: But if they win to pay their Houston Houston Okay, so if but if they win that game, they're gonna make the finals because of how much they beat Rutgers by. But if they lose that game, then they may not.

00:38:29
Speaker 6: Well that mean Michigan, Michigan beat San Diegos Date by forty.

00:38:32
Speaker 5: Oh they did, so you could get Tennessee Michigan in the finals. That would beat that actually with stink because they're not. Oh but Michigan plays Auburn, so they could lose to that.

00:38:41
Speaker 7: Okay, Yeah, Nate Amen and the Gillespie got Tennessee went out and got looked pretty dangerous. I was hoping they would not pan out, but they're looking very good.

00:38:50
Speaker 2: Yeah. Tennessee plays Houston. All right. So let me ask you a question.

00:38:54
Speaker 5: Watching those games yesterday, do you do you wish we were playing in it?

00:39:00
Speaker 6: Yeah? I mean, you know, these high profile teams playing each other in a preseason tournament. Yeah, I think we'd be all for it.

00:39:07
Speaker 2: It was good TV watching yu was you know?

00:39:10
Speaker 5: I mean they had they had T and T had what Chris Weber and Jamal Mashburn and Bruce Pearl and all those guys.

00:39:16
Speaker 2: At the game. Did you see Bruce Pearl talking to Candas.

00:39:19
Speaker 4: Parker Shannon, No, what did he say?

00:39:22
Speaker 2: Kind of an amazing clip. So Bruce Pearl's doing it.

00:39:25
Speaker 5: He's doing the Tennessee game, I think with Kandas Parker and somebody else. And Bruce Pearl says on the broadcast with Candas Parker sitting there that Candace Parker caused some turmoil with one of his teams because she was dating two different players on the team. This on live TV. He said, Candace knows what happened. And Candas is like, oh, coach, no, no, and she goes yeah. He was like, he was gonna she was gonna break one of my player's hearts. I called her into the office and asked her to wait to break up with him till the next nine after the game.

00:40:01
Speaker 6: Oh my god, my goodness, why are you saying this on our broadcast?

00:40:05
Speaker 7: He says, she's dating dating one guy and talking to two others. He brought three people to.

00:40:10
Speaker 5: Pull up the video Shannon real quick and it's online and listen to Bruce like she was laughing. But I was like, man, Bruce, you are calling her out on national television.

00:40:24
Speaker 6: But she handled it well. She could have been the other way.

00:40:27
Speaker 3: Said, I don't know, Okay, So I think this is what I have to it.

00:40:33
Speaker 4: There are some stories that we could talk about, and there are other.

00:40:35
Speaker 2: Stories we can't talk about. But can this first eight beautiful young student athlete in Tennessee.

00:40:41
Speaker 13: She was dating one of and she was talking to two or three others I seen, canness you remember there were a couple of times I would come he.

00:40:54
Speaker 2: Said, honey, don't break up for him tonight, right, you.

00:40:57
Speaker 5: Remember that, I really did.

00:41:00
Speaker 13: She would be like, okay, we had that relationship, kid, this was but sure in your.

00:41:04
Speaker 3: Office and talking to you, and I think that that's the.

00:41:06
Speaker 6: Thing that I love about.

00:41:08
Speaker 2: Okay, So there you go. And then they just I mean, that's like she loved it. But yeah, I mean she had to date four of the players on the team. But but but true.

00:41:18
Speaker 5: I couldn't believe he said that during the in the middle of the broadcast.

00:41:22
Speaker 7: And she married a duke basketball player right out of college. So it's like there's a lot of math going on here. From yeah, I can't believe he said that. Really you shouldn't say that at all, even in profit with a couple of people around, but say it on the broadcast of the game's outrageous.

00:41:35
Speaker 5: And he just like threw it out there, or Ryde like, hey, by the way, Candice, you had two or three of my guys at the same time.

00:41:44
Speaker 2: They didn't think.

00:41:44
Speaker 6: I don't think Bruce and kandell'sill be working together tonight in tonight's games. If I didn't you separate those two.

00:41:50
Speaker 5: I'm surprised it didn't get more attention by the way the Diego Pavia mom things started getting attention yesterday.
