  Speaker 3: Is yeah, this is fine, okay, good, all right, I'm
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: glad this is much better than so.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Anyway, but how was yesterday for you? I mean that
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: was you and I both love thunderstorms, but I will
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: say yesterday was a bit of a different level of
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: a thunderstorm that I wasn't really ready for. And I'm
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: sitting at my kitchen table trying to get some work done,
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: and I'm telling you justin I what they didn't say
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: it was a tornado out by by my house, but
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: it sure seemed like the way the wind was coming
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: it made me stop and watch and get a little concerned.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: As far as those were some strong storms yesterday.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'll be honest with you. And before
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: I say this, let me just say thoughts and prayers
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: out to anybody that may have been expected. But I
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: was disappointed. Oh you are, I was. I was very,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: very disappointed. I had heard about these storms for several
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: days now, I was excited about them. It came through
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: my house in probably ten minutes, and then it was gone.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Sun came out, So it was. It went from being
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: a a this massive storm that I was looking forward
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: to to just this little baby that did. I don't
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: even know that the wind even.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Picked up really, oh no, I mean it was a
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: torrential downpour, an absolute deluge of water coming from the sky.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: The wind was crazy. The lights flickered several times. I
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: had to deal with the internet. You know, anytime the
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: internet goes out, everything goes out in my house, So
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: I had to deal with that. It was and then
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: on top of it all, I was actually really concerned
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: about that storm. I mean I'm generally never concerned about it.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: And to the point where I ran outside. We've got
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: umbrellas on our deck. I ran outside in the downpour
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: pushed those umbrellas down so they're laying on the ground
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: so they don't become to project dials. And that's that's
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: how scary it was at my house. So I'm disappointed
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: you were disappointed at yours.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: You should have come over to mine. Yeah, that probably
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: should have. And you know, I was listening to Mike
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Rutherford yesterday and his show that poor Guy. Their podcast
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: from yesterday is gonna be the highest listened podcast, and
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: that show is really because there had to be twenty
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: five weather interruptions, like the people no, yeah, they're so.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: It felt like every five minutes the show is being interrupted.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: So that was that was pretty crazy. And the way
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: that sounded, it felt like it was gonna be a
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: good storm and all that, and it just I don't know,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: I was just disappointed. Okay, well, I'm disappointed for you.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: But yeah, they did.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: I didn't watch the news this morning, but they said
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: they had some tornado south of US south of town
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: and that area. Is that correct, That's what I've heard, Okay, Okay, well,
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: hopefully everyone is.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you saw the video, but a
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: person had a video camera on their back deck overlooking
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: their pool and they were showing how everything was ripped
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: up and pushed out of the way because of the
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: wind coming through there.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: It was just it was crazy to watch.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: I do enjoy when the thunder comes through the lightning.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, for some reason, thunder is relaxing to me.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: And I don't know why that is, but it's it's
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: always been really relaxing to me for some reason.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: But uh, anyway.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: It was it was fun and uh but I wish
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: we could get those kinds of things on a daily basis.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: I just I just do. But anyway, all right, Uh.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: So I'm still getting a lot of grief for the
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: whole I'm not I guess I'm being attached to it.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: With the whole Archie good One yesterday it was ridiculous.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Like every five minutes there's somebody adding to it and
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: saying something. It was ridiculous.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: And for the life of me, I don't understand why
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: I'm being a part of this other than I didn't
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: say Archie Goodwin had a beef. I said that Aaron
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Harrison had the beef. So I didn't. I didn't understand
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: that at all. Did do you understand how he could
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Archie good One could be so upset with me that
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: he has to block me.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, I just thought it was funny that there
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: were so many differing opinions on both sides. Like some
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: people were like, screw you, Archie and others were like, no,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: You'll always be one of us. It was. It was
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: fascinating to follow, for sure completely and switching of the mic. Perfect,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: there we go.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: How's that that better? How's that for Michael Bennett running
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: like great? Doing a radio show going between different locations,
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: And yeah, I've never been more confused in my radio
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: I know you're not, and that's okay. I'm okay with it.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to balance way too many things. But I
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: got to go back out there in a little bit.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: So anyway, it's it's this is fun What what people
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: don't know? The first ten minutes of this ridiculous show,
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: I've been driving from Churchill to here, so I've literally
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: been in my car trying to get.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: What do you have to do out there? Again? I forgot?
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Okay, So Sovereign Spirit, who is a horse that we
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: haven't seen a kill stable, is getting his gate card today.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: So in other words, in order for a horse to
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: be approved to go racing in a race, you have
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: to go through the starting gate and people have to
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: approve you saying, Okay, he's okay to go through a
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: starting gate, So that's what I that's what I'm gonna
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: go do. And he's gonna breeze, So there you go.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah interesting, Is that interesting to you? Okay, I didn't
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: know that there. It's a big deal.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I gets yes, I should have assumed
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: that that was a thing, but yeah, I never never
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: really knew that you had to go through like training
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: for getting in a gate. I didn't either.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: Uh, pretty self explanatory. Well that's what you would you
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: would think. So, but that's that's what we're doing. And
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: uh so I just I feel like I kind of
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: need to be there and make sure everything goes okay.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: And and uh the cool part is Martin Garcia will
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: be riding him the one of the famous uh Derby jockeys,
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: uh and he really likes this horse, and so we'll
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: see hot goes and hopefully it's not too terribly disappointing.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: I've all, I'm always afraid it's gonna be one of
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: those situations where he sucks and and now it's just
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: because everything's gonna suck and anyway, but we'll see stink
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: and thinking it is stinking thinking and a lot of
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: times I guess what Michael Bennett stinking at stinking thinking.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: So anyway, uh now.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Uh, we haven't talked about you know, we talked about
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: what will Stein has said, which has really got and
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: a lot of people riled up. I think in a
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: positive way the fact that this whole is because of
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: me thing. And I've had several conversations with good friends
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: and people I don't even know wanting to know what
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: I thought of that. And honestly, I'll repeat what I
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: said yesterday. I loved it. I had absolutely no problem
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: with what do you want him to say? Well, we'll
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: see how it goes. I really don't know why good
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: things are happening and recruits are one. Of course it's
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: because of him. If you think it's because of UK,
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: the fan base, the stadium, the environment that we create there, no,
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: that's not at all. We don't have a history of that.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Although I do believe UK is one of the more
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: underrated environments. When the team is good, number one and
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: they're playing really well, I think Commonwealth it's not a
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: in LSU, Alabama, Georgia or anything by any means, but
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: it can be so as far as what will Stein
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: said the other day on Monday, which is two days now.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: I just I feel like it's fantastic. It's got an
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: excitement in the fan base again, and he's gotta believe
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: in himself. If you don't believe in yourself, then you're
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: always gonna have an aura that people like. Okay, you
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: can kind of tell they don't believe. Am I wrong
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: in believe in that?
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: No?
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: I think you're spot on with everything you've said so far. Okay, good, well,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: I mean I'm right there with you. I felt the
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: exact same way. It's not my coach, but I love
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: that he came out and said that. I love the confidence.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: I love that that that quote could have gone sideways,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: and it can go sideways in two three years whatever.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: If this all doesn't work out, maybe it comes back
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: in his face, but I think for right now, it's
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: what BBN needed to hear. I love that he came
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: out and said it. It just it shows his his confidence,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: and you want to head coach. That's confidence. Well. See.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: I love the other part.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: We didn't talk about this yesterday, but the comment that
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: he said, I do consider myself as psychotic as Big
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: Blue Nation because I am.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: One of them.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: I think that's another great statement that we didn't talk about.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: And now can you switch back and forth. That's the
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: question I've always struggled with because he grew up. We
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: all know his dad, mom went to the UK's dad
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: played at UK. He grew up a UK fan. He
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: always he admitted that. Listen, when when I was a
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: kid in UK would lose, I would cry, I'd get emotional.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: We all been through that as a as a sports fan.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: If you're a true sports fan of a particular team
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: like I am of Kentucky, you do get emotional, good times,
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: bad times. You know me, justin when Kentucky basketball is
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: playing and they're not playing very well, I pace, I
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: turned the TV off. I got to go do something else.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: When I'm at the State, at the Reperina, or I'm
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: at the NCAA tournament, I gotta walk away. I gotta
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: go downstairs somewhere and just get my mind off for
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: a met We're all like that.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Now. He played at U of L.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Let's use somebody else as an example, And let's just
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: use someone figured. I can't think of anybody right now
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: that grew up a certain fan and then went and
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: played for somebody else and then came back. This is
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: an unusual situation for sure, for anyone out there.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Do you feel like.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: That person can grow up a fan of a school
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: or a team, and then all of a sudden they're
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: playing for an opposing team that happens to be a rival,
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: and then he goes back and becomes a part of
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: that team he used to love as a kid. You
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: feel like people can realistically go back and forth. And
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: because I feel like he can do it, I feel
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: like anybody can do it going back to the team
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: you were absolutely in love with as a kid. Now,
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: can't he go back and become a U of L
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: fan again? I don't really think so. I don't think
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: he was probably ever a Louisville fan. You don't think
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: so either, Okay, That's kind of how I felt. It's like,
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: was he truly a fan at U of L when
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: he played there.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, he probably loved his time at Louisville. He
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: was probably rooting for the boys to go out and
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: get some wins because he's part of the team. But
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: I don't imagine he was ever a little like, I
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: can't I can't imagine a scenario where he graduated from
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Louisville and then was just following all Louisville sports. He
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: may have still followed the football program because of his
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: ties to it, but I can't imagine he was sitting
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: on his couch watching Louisville basketball or volleyball games actively
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: cheering for the game.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: And see here's the difference too. The players are all gone.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: And the other part is everybody associated with the team
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: when he played there, they're not there, right. I think
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: that makes it a little easier for will Stein to say, yeah,
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: I'm all in Big Blue.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, he grew up a Kentucky fan. So
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: you're while your mindset may have shifted along the way
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: because of certain scenarios that you've been through, ie playing
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: at Louisville, you're you're still gonna go back to what
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: you knew as a kid, and now is being a
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Kentucky fan. If you if that's the way you grew up,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: that's the way you're always gonna be. Yeah.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: See that's kind of how I feel, because here's the
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: other Okay, I do have an example. My dad, my dad,
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: and mom grew up in Nashville, Tennessee. My dad grew
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: up a die hard Tennessee fan, I mean die hard.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: He in fact had a tryout on the football side
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: with General Nayland. You know who General Nayland is, Yeah,
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: to the stadiums day, exactly.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: And really my dad always kidded and said, well, they
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: didn't really want to recruit me. They just invited me
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: because they really wanted my best friend. And then didn't
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: want my best friend to ride the bus from Nashville
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: all the way to Knoxville by himself. And evidently General
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Nalen went up to my dad says, Muster Bennett, you're
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: a good football player, just not good enough at Tennessee.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: And that was his tryout and so they got his
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: best friend and that was the end of that. So
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: I always thought that was funny. But he became really
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: good friends with the coach, Johnny Majors. They played golf
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: quite a bit. And then when Tennessee fired, well it
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: starts before that. When my brother went to UK, my
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: mom told him, now, Jerry, you're going to be a
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Kentucky fan. Starting to get today because your son goes
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: to Kentucky. And my dad was smart and said, yes, ma'am.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: And then when they fired, Johnny Majors as head coach.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: That's when my dad said, yeah, I'm all in Kentucky.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: Do you think, deep down inside my dad was still
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: a Tennessee fan. Yes, so do I. I do too,
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: And I always felt bad because I Tennessee is the
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: team I probably dislike the most more than any other
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: team out there, and I would say stuff about tenns
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: and then I would feel the older I got, the
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: more I'd like, yeah, you gotta stop that, because I
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: think my dad still likes them. Yeah, and it just guaranteed. Yeah,
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: it just made me feel bad. So that was a
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: good example right there. But anyway, I just I've always questioned,
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: was will Stein really a UOL fan?
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: So because I think it's gonna be tough for him.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: Do you think Rick Pettino roots for U of L
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: or UK more? He was at U of L more
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: and long or I should say longer than he was
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: at UK. Do you think he is a UK fan
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: more or a U of L fan more?
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously now with Mark Pope and the coach,
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: it's probably UK. But quite frankly, I don't think Rick
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Patino gives one iota about either of those schools. See
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: I disagree with you. I don't. And I could see
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: him in his New York accent being like, why do
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: I can't? No?
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: I And that's a pretty good one right there. It's
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: almost like a John F. Kennedy, though it's more of
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: a Boston accent. Okay, I mean, I'm sorry you and
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: I can't do act. I know you did, and you
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: did a great you can't just not in New York one, okay.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Uh. I think here's what I believe.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: I think this is a great question for everybody if
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: you want to text in and tell me what you think.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: Five w to four one four fourteen fifty on the
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: whiskey teed text line, do you think will Stein was
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: ever a U of L fan? And do you think
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: Rick Bettino roots for U of L and or UK
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: more or he doesn't care. I think that's a good
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: question to put on Twitter, I really do, and put
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: a survey out there and what do you think?
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: But I don't know.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: I just I've always wondered that because I can tell you.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: I think another one is Rich Brooks. You know Rich
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: Brooks famously coached at Oregon and UK. I didn't think
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: he roots. It's probably somewhat even but he lives in Oregon. Now,
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: I tend to think he roots for Oregon more than
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: he roots for But if it was a head to head,
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: I think he'd root for Oregon.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Who do he grow up a fan of? Though? I
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: have no idea, because that's who he's a fan of. Really,
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: same thing with Rick Bettino, but he looted Reck Bettino.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Grow up a fan of, That's who he's a fan of. Now,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: not all about growing up? Yeah, But I mean these
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: were just stepping stones too in his career, right, I
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: mean anybody we're talking about, it's just a stepping stone spot.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Do you give your all for that school? Absolutely? But
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: do you watch them as a fan after you're done
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: from there? I truly don't think. I think John Somerl
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: is another good one. Is John Someral somewhat still a
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: UK fan? If he was then yeah, well he played
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: in the UK. Then that doesn't just because you played somewhere,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: it doesn't make you a fan of that school, I think. So.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: I well, then that's tearing down everything you said about
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: will Stein. Will Stein's so he's a louisvill fan. No,
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: I just think you in every situation, you just do
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: what you gotta do what's best for you, and I
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: just I don't think that's exclusive to being a fan
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: of that school.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: Okay, all right, I just uh, I thought it was
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: a fun question. But uh, anyway, we gotta take a break.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna go John one long. I promise five
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: O two four that's gonna become a thing you know,
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: that's gonna stick in my head forever, just to let
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: you and I'm gonna throw it over there to you
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: and so and like John did. But anyway, still makes
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: me laugh some of the stories you told. I'm just
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: glad John came and filled in for me. He's just
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: he's not on the radio all the time, so he
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: needs a little more coaching. I'll help him out, or
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: you help him out with that. You're the professional. Five
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: O two four one four fourteen fifty. You wanted to

  Speaker 3: fried there. I thought it was gonna say fried their fish,
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: But anyway that would have been that would have been awesome.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Fried the router for internet, and busted their water Maine.

• 22:55
  Speaker 3: have a great day, guys. I see I started something.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: Now I'm worried I won't be able to stop. I
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: gotta squeeze Darryl in still it's coming. Oh so, so
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: the one text that said you're not gonna do it
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: was right?
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: You didn't do it? Well, I just I don't have
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: a great memory. I got the memory of a goldfish.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: We all know that. I just I just constantly forget.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: I'll get don't worry all right, then yeah, we'll get
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Darryl no offense. We'll get one song in and that'll
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: be it. But I can't start playing. Hey, Michael, I
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: gotta say next thing, you know, I'm gonna have a
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: guy named Shannon send me one of his songs with
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: a band called Alice Blue Gown. And I'm not doing that. Okay.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: The amount of emails that we get at the other
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: station I work at, Yes, from Independent artists like, hey,
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: can you play? It is exhausting how many emails we
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: get about well.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: Are you aware of this? I talked to JD. Shelburnon
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: let me think Monday. He called me, and he's playing
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: in the concert this weekend at the Oldham County Fair
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: up in Lagrange, Kentucky. I'm thinking about our I don't
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: think it's Lagrange, but wherever the Oldham County Fair is,
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: I think I'm going to be going to that. By
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: the way he told me this, do you realize he's independent?
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: He is not a part of a record label.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: You did it.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: When he told me that story, I'm like, JD, I
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: have a new found respect for you. He goes, that's
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: the way I've always been when I got to Nashville.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: He goes, I just I've never had a record label
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: pick me up here he is. He's had all those
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: music videos, he's had all this music go and is
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: ranked up there in country music. He's been to the
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: Grand Old Opry and play there. I mean, all of
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: that he has done on his own. How amazing is that?
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: I'm not kidding. I have a new level of respect
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: for what JD. Shelburne has done for himself.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Wonder if he's had any opportunities with Wade or not.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: He said no.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: Really's surprising, and that's what I think. It's like, he's
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: got how many albums? Seven albums, eight albums, and and
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: yet doesn't have a major label.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, why.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: Why He's he's clearly extremely talented, and he's booked all
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: these things. Now he is a manager, but he's booked
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: all these gigs. Uh, and doing really well. I just
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: it is like fantastic, Uh, John here, awesome, Michael. You
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: are giving it for the show, to make it to work.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: You and Justin work well together and make a great team.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: Will Stein. Will Stein definitely got me cheering for the
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: right reasons. I agree with you, Michael. I have said
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: it more than once, but Kentucky football will win six.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Games or more this season if they only if they
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: win six games, John, it's only because college football is down.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be a down year. Well done, Justin. I
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: know exactly what you're doing right there, because Uh, I
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: will say, John's that wrong.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: Indiana only won a national title because football's down. I
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: don't want to upset you, but man, you came in
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: here and said it's been a tough morning already. I mean,
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: people were giving me a hard time for IU football.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Not a lot gets under my skin when I do this,
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: but I did for some reason.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's I want more of under the skin Justin, Kaylin, Okay,
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: I just I enjoy it. You walk over here and
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: you are absolutely disgusted, and I'm like, I gotta.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Have more of this. And evidently the culprit was our
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: good friend John here. Yeah, John and Lexington Texter, who
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: are normally enemies. On the text line, Oh really, they
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: both teamed up on me. They really? Yeah.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: I just I love people that dislike each other grouping
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: together to go against Justin. I mean, that's that's that's
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: just awesome. But let's see here. One person said, oh goodness,
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: hold on, let me get to make sure I get.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: The right one.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: I've been a UK fan from Louisville since stay one.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: I would have won one hundred percent gone to Louisville
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: if they offered me, and UK didn't, especially with Charlie
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: Strong or Patrino when he was rolling as the headman.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: There's nothing wrong with that Will did, or nothing wrong
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: with what Will did?
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: What was he?
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: What was he supposed to do go play at campus
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: will as something. I listen, I'm not disagreeing with you.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: I'm not criticizing will Stein for going to u of
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: L at all. Joker I believe it was Joker Phillips.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: Was it Joker Phillips as a coach and he just
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: didn't offer will Stein And so therefore will Stein's like, well,
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: I got an offer over here at u of L.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: I listen, I would have done the same thing. I'll
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: tell you right now. I'll give you another example. And
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: that's a great comment right there. Texter will Smith, who
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: plays right now for the the Los Angeles Dodgers, grew
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: up and his dad is the same way.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Die die die hard.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: UK fans, and that's what they are still see. But
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: will was offered a scholarship to go play at u
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: of L. UK didn't even consider him, which blows my mind.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: Whoever the coach, I don't remember who the baseball coach
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: was at that time. I mean, that's a travesty. He
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: could have been at UK, been one of the greatest
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: players to ever be at UK, but they didn't do it.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: So he goes to u of L, becomes a great player,
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: and look where he's now he's on injured reserve right now.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: He still has that. I think it's a neck injury,
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: isn't it. I'm not sure. With Will Smith, yeah, he's
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: been out since June, which has been a real bummer.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: But anyway, so I'm right there with you. Text here,
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: don't skip my first text, Michael is too funny. I'm sorry,
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: I'm your first text.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: I think our right there. Credit Okay.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: Will Stein isn't a Louisville fan even though he played there.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: But John Summerle is a UK fan because he played there.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: There isn't any bigger, big Blue hypocrite than Michael Bennett.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: I love it. How a my hypocrite? I mean you
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: just that whole situation. You were just talking in circles.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: I let's talking circles a whatnot? Oh my goodness. Well,
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: when you have hectic mornings like I have had today,
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: that's a bit of the problem. So anyway, one person said,
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: let me see, make sure I get this now. Forty
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: eight handily Scoots be counter punching, and that is so true.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: The Pride of Faraday, Louisiana. Jerry Lee Lewis saw him
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: in Cardinals Stadium at the State Fair in nineteen sixty nine, The.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: Killer Holy wow. A long time ago. I was three
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: years old. I was, yeah, yeah, I mean that's crazy.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: Ezard Charles was great counter puncher. I don't know who
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: Zerd Charles not familiar. Okay, all right, din well please
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: boll means keep those texts coming in five, two, four, one, four,
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: fourteen fifty. So a couple of things that Greg sank.
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: The commission of the Southeastern Conference set on Monday. Haven't
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: talked about it yet, and I felt like, well, in
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: a lot of come on, it's got to be a
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: good reason. Everything that will Stein said took precedence. I mean,
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: I want to talk about UK and will Stein, but
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: let's let's now that it's been a day longer. I
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: feel like we've talked about will and when he said enough,
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: if you want to continue to talk about I'm happy
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: to because he's got me pumped for football. It can't
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: come soon enough. Do I think we're gonna have six wings?
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: I'm not there yet, but I think it'll be exciting,
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: it'll be fun to watch, and we'll see how that handles.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: But by the way, real quick. Ezard Charles was a
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: boxer known as the Cincinnati Cobra.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: Wow, what a weird nickname, a Cincinnati Cobra for a boxer. Okay,
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: I mean it is interesting how many well known boxers
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: we've had from Louisville, Kentucky in the surrounding area. That
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: is one sport I would never want to play, no,
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: would you. No, I've literally and I hope it never happens.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: I hope I'm not jinxing it. But I'm not a
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: believer of jinx. I've literally never been in a physical
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: fight before my life, really, even as a kid. Yeah,
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: I just I wasn't a fighter.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: I was a lover.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: I used, I just used my words. I mean, you
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: come at me, I'm going to come right back at you.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: But no, I just I've never been in a fight before.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Does that kind of surprise you?
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I would have assumed like everybody had
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: gotten in a fight at some point. No, Like, I've
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: only been in one and it was in fourth grade,
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: So I don't I don't even know that it counts.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: But yeah, no, I see I think it does count
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: because not even in elementary school, I wasn't in a fight.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: No, not at all.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: Greg Sankey said Monday, he made the statement in his
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: opening remarks that the SEC might be on its way
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: to self governance. I heard that and I thought, oh boy,
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: because I wasn't necessarily thinking of Kentucky can get away
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: with stuff. I'm thinking about certain coaches out there that
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: are definitely going to push the envelope and probably hoping
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: that they.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Can go beyond the envelope.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: And there are definitely within the SEC, there are definitely three,
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: maybe four coaches out there that I think will definitely
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: take advantage of this. When you heard that justin what
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: were your first thoughts go?
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you want to leave the NCAA and
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: have your own governing body, then just too Yeah, I'm
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: so sick and tired of hearing about it. Just do it,
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: Just make it happen. So what talking do it? Once?
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: One pro conference? Does it?
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: Do you think that is the end of the nc
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: double A or is there any way the n CUBA
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: can survive?
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think it could. Really I don't know.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: I haven't spent enough time thinking about this type of thing.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: I think it's over. I would I could see a
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: scenario where you've got two governing bodies both running at
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: the same simultaneously. The Big ten of the SEC. No.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: I mean you you'd have your that's what I think.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: You'd have your n C double A with the year
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: PAC twelve and whatever whatever conferences and then SEC if
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: and if Big ten wants to join them, they can start.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: A n C or whatever. Well here's what I look at.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: I look at respect. Nobody respects the NC double anymore.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: If anything, they're fighting against them. And that's why THEA
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: is trying to go to the US government to get assistance.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: It's like, listen, we've got these rules, we're trying to
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: emphasize them and enforce them. Nobody's listening. We need the government.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: You gotta go to the stinking court. You got Nate
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: Oats down at Alabama fighting it, you got Duke constantly
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: fighting it, you got Texas Tech fighting it. I mean,
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: you got all these different schools. Nobody respects the UNC
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: double anymore, So why is it in existence.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: I'm just glad I lived through through the time of
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: when college athletics was the absolute best. I agree it sucks.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: I mean everything that's happening now I cannot stand it.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: I feel awful for the violated in sixty years who
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: were trying to watch college athletics because it's gonna be
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: a shell of what we grew up with, and that sucks.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: It does. We're just destroying everything. So how do you
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: fix it? Though you don't. You already opened the box,
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: You open multiple boxes. You can't shut the lids now.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: So since Dora's box is opened, now, you don't think
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: you could ever go back and close it again. Now
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: you don't think it's repairable. So then you're answering my question,
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: and you are now on my side saying, if you
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: can't go back and fix it, then there's no reason
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: for the existence of the NCAA.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, there may be some things that you could
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: go back and fix and correct, but no, I think
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: the majority of the stuff that's going on now in
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: college athletics is it's here to stay. Unfortunately.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: Okay, Well, I just feel like, when and if they
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: do all right, what percentage of chance do you think
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: the SEC breaks away from the SEC from the NCUBA.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: But then what timeframe Let's say two years? Oh? Really
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: that low? Okay? Now, if you bump that up to
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: ten years, I'd probably be sitting around eight to ten. See,
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: I disagree.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: I think that the fact that Greg Sanky brought it
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: up excuse me at their biggest media day football that
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: they're online to really excuse me, get away from it
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: sooner than later. But that's my point, Michael is Greg
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: Sankey will be gone inten Ye how many years have
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: we been hearing about this?
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: It feels like this is the fifth or sixth year now,
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: Like that's why my mindset has just stopped talking and
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: do it. That's why my number is so low because
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: I don't think they'll actually take action.
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: So then why bring it up? Why do you think
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: Greg Sankee takes the time to specifically bring this up?
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: Maybe some sort of leverage situation. I don't know it is.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: What are they trying to leverage that? I don't know.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: That's the part. And I'm right there with you, I think,
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: what are you trying to leverage? Why are you saying this?
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: So we got to take another break when we come back.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: Greg Sankee also mentioned something else about the rule changes
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: that the SEC is making. Uh, one of them. I
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: guess I kind of like the other one. It's like whow.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: So we'll talk about those two rule changes and plus
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: you know little Uh, we need to have Matt Austin
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: come back. Yeah, it's almost time to have Matt Austin,
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: so we'll start scheduling him the next month. But uh, anyway,
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: follow two four one four fourteen fifty you want to
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: text him on a whiskey thief text line?
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: I would appreciate it. We'll see him in all right.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: This is definitely some wild music you're playing today. God
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: oh is that?
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: Well, you're getting excited about this and I'm glad it's
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: kind of waking you up. So if you like that, listen,
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: I'm all for it. So John here again five O
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: two four one four fourteen fifty four text in on
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: the whiskey theve thanks wide want I want both John,
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: where's it John from Lexison?
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: I want him.
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: Corresponding on this too. Uh, John here again? Maybe you
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: would be right justin. However, if Kentucky football beats Alabama
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: thirty eight to three, then you would be correct. Now,
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: if they win twenty one to twenty eight, then you
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: are getting a true matchup of what we have seen
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: in years past with dynasty years of Alabama. The proof
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: is in the scores. It was not that IU was
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: just that darn good that was there was a little
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: of Alabama and others not living up to some of
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: their past dynasty runs. Justin you have to understand what
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: I am saying.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: I understand what you're saying, John, doesn't mean I agree
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: with it. I still think you're wrong. Really okay, all right, Dan.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: One person said they're trying to leverage the Protect College
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: Sports Act? Do you all pay attention anything you try
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: to talk about? No quick answer, there is no.
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: I realize they are, but it's still I still think
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: it's a viable threat. Though you are correct, sir, and
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: I appreciate that. What is it or ma'am or ma'am? Yeah,
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: it could be a ma'am, but it could be Karen.
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: So it is all about the Protect College Sports Act.
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: Some people are happy about some people are not.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, but we'll see.
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: I just tend to feel like we're closer than ever
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: about leaving the NCAA behind the SEC, and I feel
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: like the being tend in the same way. Well, if
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: one goes, then the wall starts crumbling down. I just
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: feel like it, if one of these conferences go, it's over.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: I don't think one would go without the other, though
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: I could be wrong with that.
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: I don't know it seems like the SEC has been
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: Greg Sankie's been pretty stubborn about what the commission of
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: the Big Ten is trying to do, and I think
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: the Big Ten commissioner has been kind of baffled by that.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: He figured that the Greg Sanki would fall right in
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: line with him, you know.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think they will eventually. I don't. I
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: don't know. I'm so tired of talking about it.
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: Greg Sanki mentioned football rule change for the upcoming season.
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: They're gonna include targeting in the second half will not
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: force players to sit out of the first half of
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: the next game.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: Love that why? I just I thought that was kind
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: of a cruel punishment. Really, I mean, but did you
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: do something in one game and you got to sit
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: out of half of the next game. That doesn't it
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: doesn't really make it.
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but doesn't that allow for players at the end
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: of game to start targeting other players and make it
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: even more brutal?
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: I guess, But what's the point in doing it At
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: the end of the game. You're not going to see
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: that team again. Yeah, but you're not gonna have to
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: sit out the next game. So if the game is closed,
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: you might as well start targeting and try and take
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: that player out that's not There has to be a penalty.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, that can't happen just to Okay, due to
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: the spirit.
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: Of the sport, offensive pass interference is reduced from fifteen
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: yards to ten yards. Really, yeah, to me, ten yards
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: is nothing.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: To me.
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: I like the NFL version where it's spot of the foul.
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: I hate Oh do you really?
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: I hate that?
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: But that's what the penalty should be. Though, Why do
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: you hate it so much?
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: It's just it's such a cheap way to get a
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: huge chunk of yardage. I mean, in the NFL specific
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: then don't interfere. You'll just have four games. Guys go
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: right up the scene and at some point if they
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: get caught or if they get held or whatever they
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: get I don't know. It's just a cheap way to
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: pick up fifty sixty yards. Well why go from fifteen
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: to ten yards though? Because that's ten yards is nothing.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: I think you're going to see a lot more past
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: interference now because who cares if you give up ten
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: yards ten yards? If they're first intent on their own
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: ten yard line and the game's getting ready to run out,
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: you might as well just past interference. I mean it
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: probably ups the scoring. You think taking it down those
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: five yards, okay makes it more exciting. I didn't. I
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: didn't like the changes. I don't know.
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: I guess I'm kind of for the targeting and sitting out,
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: but I don't know if I'm for this fifteen yard
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: pass interference going down now to ten yards. I thought
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: that was kind of odd. But uh, anyway, we'll we'll
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: just we'll see how that stands out.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: But I don't know.
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: Maybe maybe I'm just an idiot, but so let's I
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: get it. One person said, For all u IU championship doubters,
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: I'll just ask, how about that Miami offensive line? They
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: facing the game for all the marbles? Were they having
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: a down year? I think that's a great question right there.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they were horrible. We should have beat him by
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: more than six. That defensive line.
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: Was One person said, friendly reminder that Chip Kelly is
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: still coaching college football now as the offensive coordinator at Northwestern.
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: I didn't realize this, really, I did not know that.
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: If you haven't already googled Northwestern's new stadium and Chip
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: kelly construction outfit, both are glorious to look at. Okay,
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: now I gotta look at it. He's wearing the really
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: oh yeah, oh no, please, And here it comes. It's
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: all right, you simply google it and it comes up
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: to media. Oh my gosh, this is a horrible look.
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: Is he now speaking with a Chicago accent?
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: Probably?
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean this might be the goofiest thing I've
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: ever seen. Why did you eat, Texter? Why did you
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: tell me to look that up? This is glorious, This
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: is idiotic. Did you see, speaking of alpha, his head
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: is gigantic, by the way.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking of outfits, did you see the running back
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: Cedric Alexander yesterday of Media Days from Vanderbilt? No, I
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: miss that very very interesting outfit he's wearing. He's wearing.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: I'll try to describe it the best I can. What's
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: his name? His name is Cedric Alexander, Cedric with an ass. Yeah,
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: just just look it up. Okay. Yeah, he's got this
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: big chain on over like a collared shirt and a
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: bow tie. It's a it's a wild look.
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: Really okay, all right, I'm ready to be all about it,
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: so I like, looks. Yeah, it's not coming up yet,
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: so I'll find it during the break and figure it out,
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: But I mean I do I listen. I like style
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: and when people come out there and want to have
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: a particular style. So he has a bow tie on
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: what else.
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: It's like a collared shirt with a bow tie and
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: of just a big old chain and that's it. Yeah.
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: I don't get the big chain outside the shirt. I've
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: never understood that. But I mean, if that's your look,
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: hey man, that's your look.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: It's kind of like, who's the baseball announcer on field
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: that always wears the bow tie that people are really
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: getting kind of tired of? That is Ken Rosenthal because
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: his true colors came out when they were dumping water
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: on him and then he almost tripped over a cameraman
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: and he chewed out the cameraman and it's like cameraman
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: was just sitting there, dude, he did nothing wrong. So
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: I yeah, that's that. I like bow ties. I think
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: it fits on some people.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: Some people. It doesn't. Every Derby I like wearing at
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: least one day a bow tie. I think they're fun.
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: I'm not a bow tie guy. Really.
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: I think it's because I know how to tie a
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: bow tie that I like. Yeah, I like real boat
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: don't give me the fake bowtie. I like the real
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: boat tie.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: Give me fake all day. Really, that's all you want
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: is fake But it looks fake though. That's what I
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: don't like you, not if you spruce it up correctly.
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: Really okay? All right? Then?
• 46:30

  Speaker 2: that what happened.
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: What if he gets motivated so much that he wants
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: to show everybody this is why I'm here. I'm here
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: to save the day, and it's because of me that
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: La Familia is going on.
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: This is nuts.
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: I love this, this is I love the story. To me,
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: it's gotten to a point. There's so much drama in
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: this team. It's almost much washed TV for even people
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: outside of this, these two teams, don't you think so?
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: I've taken credit. I think I.
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: Wouldn't be surprised if he's at the front door right now,
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: trying to knock the door down and wants to see
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: Michael Bennett tell him there's no beef. I didn't say, Archie,
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: there is any beef with you and Aaron. I said,
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: with Aaron and you, this is I love this. I
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: don't even know what to say. I'm flabbergasted that you
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: just said that. Yep, Archie Goodwe is in Lexington and
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: is expected to play in Game three.
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: So there you go. Has Aaron said anything on Twitter
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: about this? I have no idea. You gotta look at it.
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: I knew you'd have to, and that's okay, go look
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: it up. But all right, so with that happening, now, listen,
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: I'm excited about this game. I am.
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: I think it'll be a sold out and b b
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: in will be there in full force at Historical Memorial
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: Coliseum and they will be cheering hard for Archie Goodwin,
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: and I think it'll be a lot of fun. I
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: hope that he comes to his senses and says, you
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: know what, maybe I was a little hard on Michael Bennet.
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: Maybe Ellen lock him so I do anyway?
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: All right? Yeah? Uh so anything with Aaron Harrison saying there, no,
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: but he did. I missed this last night. He definitely
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: mentioned it after Archie had responded to him, basically just
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: saying he was talking about multiple people. But Archie's getting
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: the most heat because he was the leading scorer last
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: year and the team this year. Was pretty much built
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: around him. Okay, that's what Eric was saying.
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what what a crazy because he said it's definitely
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: no beef at all, just the hoops talk.
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I said before, I wasn't talking about just
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: one player. There were multiple. Yeah, but you really kind
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: of called out. Come on now you kind of called out.
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: This is one of the This is one of the
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: wildest I ever heard.
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: I'm loving this. I am all for it, and I
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: am taking one thousand credit for it.
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: I just am.
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: I I think the whole beefing got everybody fired up,
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: that it got Archie.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: So fired up.
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: It's like, I'm going to show them whoever that beIN
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: it is, I'm going to show him right away.
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: Anyway.
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: I hope every goal he makes there you go ben
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: it and it just tells me every time. I just
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to this. I'm just telling you right
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: now it will be fun.
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: Now. Does that change how you feel about this game tonight?
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: You get it?
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: Absolutely yeah, And I think this team will be fired up,
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: will be fired up that they got beat so bad
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: Monday night. They'll be fired up that we've had this riff.
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: What well, I mean, honestly, what do you call it?
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: How else do you describe what happened Monday with Aaron
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: Harrison calling out Okay, so you weren't calling out Archie Goodwin,
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: you were calling out all the players that just kind
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: of quittet the end. I get it, it's got to
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: be frustrating. But what do you call that? Is that
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: not a beef? Is it so bad to be have
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: it called the beef? Is that really a negative? It's
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: it's beef, That's what I think. I mean, I I
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: just don't see that as a negative.
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: I really don't.
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: And for me to get played for I'm taking credit
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: if they win tonight, I'm taken thousand percent credit right there.
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: So I haven't seen the point spread. It's got to
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: be a point in a half again, I think. And
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: so I mean this news changes that spread, right, I
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: have to think so, because he was one of the
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: better players in TVT last year. So it's it's gonna
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: be a lot of fun and is definitely a game
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: changer for this entire team. So it's gonna be it's
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: gonna be must watch TV. Let's talk about who within
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: the SEC footballs are on the hot seat. And you
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: know you've got sixteen teams. There are a few out
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: there they're not even close to being on the hot seat.
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: And you know, probably h seven of them there's no
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: way there on the hot seat. And I'm gonna say
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: it's it's mostly the new coaches, Lane Kiffin and LSU,
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: Mike Elcho at Texas A and M John Summer oft
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: Florida signed Ryan Silverfield at Arkansas, Kirby Smart, even though
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: he's been at Georgia East, there's no way he's on
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: the hot seat right now. Clark Lee at Vanderbilt, I
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: think there's no way he's on the hot seat. It's
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: not even warm, it's not even anything. And of course
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: will Stein at UK. Now let's start with the ones
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: that are getting a little on the lukewarm seat.
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: How is that? Okay?
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: I probably put Alex Golish in there as far as
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: not on the hot seat. Why he just got there exactly,
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. Not on not lukeworm or anything.
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: He's on the cold seat.
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna say that.
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: Pete Golding at Old Miss, there is some pressure on him.
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: He just got there too. I know we just got there.
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: But this is the crazy part. He's been very vocal,
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: and I think that if he doesn't have that team
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: moving forward like Lane Kiffen did, I think his seat
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: is a little lukewarm. I disagree, you disagree, and I'm
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: good with now.
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: A couple of years from now, maybe i'd agree with that.
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: No, I think luke warm. I think lukewarm. And then
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: if he doesn't go well, it's starting to get warm
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: in the offseason this year, I bet ole miss gives
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: him two years. If it doesn't go well, he's out
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: after year two. Uh, Eli drink Witz, I think there's
• 54:46
  Speaker 3: a little luke warmness. People are starting to get a
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: little tired of his whole stick because he's a dork
• 54:52
  Speaker 3: and calling out.
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: The Big ten like he did. And uh yeah, I
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: just I feel like, Eli, are you on board with me?
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: With Eli drink Witz kind of but kind of not
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: because Missouri doesn't really have expectations.
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: Oh, I think they have more expectation than you give
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: him credit for. Uh So we'll see if that happens
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: or not. I think Caitlin de Boor at Alabama is.
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: A little bit on the lukewarm ad came out and
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: said he's not going anywhere.
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but he says that and that's the right thing
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: to say.
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: Well, it's the reasoning as to why is is what
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: I put more stock into the fact that you just
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: you've got to have what's the word I'm looking for, continuity?
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: No continuity? Continuity? Yeah, I mean it's you. You can't
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: just have a revolving door of coaches coming in and
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: out every three four years.
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, So you think he's kind of taking the
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: mindset of how much Barnhart was giving him more time.
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: I still think that with the fan base and boosters
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: can take over and say no, we've had if if
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: you want my money, guess what. And that's how you
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: Even though the AD is saying this, it's like, hey man,
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: my hands are tied. We're losing money here. I gotta
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: do something, and unfortunately it's going to mean your job's gone.
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: So I hear what you're saying. Yes, the AD did
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: come out and say that. I'm fully supportive. I appreciate
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: that that's what ads are supposed to do. That is
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: a part of their job description. You hired him, you
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: support him. But I just feel like the fan base
• 56:29
  Speaker 3: is like, this doesn't feel like Nick Saban type teams.
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: I'm not getting the same vibe that Nick Saban had
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: down at klen at Alabama with Kaylan de bor Am.
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: I wrong to say that, I don't think so. No,
• 56:42
  Speaker 3: it's completely different down there. I think the dynasty is gone,
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: and a lot of that has to do with Nil too.
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: It's not just Kailen de Boor, but I think a
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: lot of that portion. I'd say sixty forty sixty forty
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: sixty being Kaalen de Boor, forty percent being of of
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: the Nil. I think that Texas Steve Arkazen are Starkesian.
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: I think his seat is a little warm. No, yeah,
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: I do stop.
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: Really, his seat's not not even a little bit warm.
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: Well, you're gonna think I'm crazy on this one. Josh
• 57:18
  Speaker 3: Hipel at Tennessee. That one I can get behind a
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: little more. A lot of you know who, A lot
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: of people want to you watch this. If Josh Hypel
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: does not do well at Tennessee and loses his job,
• 57:33
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna predict this right now. You market down, Okay,
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: today is July twenty second, twenty twenty six. You know
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: who the first phone call is going to be.
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: There's that? Are you ready for this? Been ready?
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: Jeff brom I'm just telling you right now, Jeff Brown
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: wouldn't leave, not for tending. I would not never say that,
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: not for Tennessee. Yes, so you would. No, I don't
• 57:58
  Speaker 3: think I am telling you right now. If it doesn't
• 58:01
  Speaker 3: work out, Tennessee's going after Jeff Brohm and you listen,
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: I bet you if you asked Mike Rutherford, I bet
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: you he might agree with me, not with Tennessee. Okay,
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: why do you say now with Tennessee.
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: Every because it's I mean, I know you've got like
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: insider trading going on, but the public perception is that
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: Jeff will not leave for anywhere other than Notre Dame.
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: Oh really, and so until I hear otherwise, I'm gonna
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: that's what I'm wrong. I don't know.
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: I don't know if they want to go north. I
• 58:33
  Speaker 3: think they tend to want to go south. I think
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: Britt Vinable and Oklahoma is under some pressure. Sure, I
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: think it is not just a lukewarm seat. I think
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: it's a warm seat there. I'm not gonna say hot,
• 58:46
  Speaker 3: but I am definitely going to say Britt Vinable he's
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: got to get it going on at Oklahoma. I mean,
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: he had an okay season last year in the season
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: before he was it was just an absolute blunder.
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: It's bordering on hot.
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: Really yeah, Okay, yeah, I'm saying warm. You're definitely saying hot.
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: These two I think are definitely under the hot seat.
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: Jeff Libby at Mississippi State, I think that's a struggle there.
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: I feel bad for him because he he replaced Mike Leach.
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: Beloved Mike Bleach and everybody out even outside of Mississippi State,
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: everybody loved Mike Leach and for him to replace him,
• 59:22
  Speaker 3: that's been a tough situation. I think Coach Levy, I'm sorry,
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: you're You're definitely under the hot seat. And I think
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: the hottest seat within the SEC is South Carolina Shane Beamer,
• 59:33
  Speaker 3: which makes you happy. Yeah, But but what I want
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: first is I want Kentucky to beat them. I think
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: if Kentucky beats South Carolina this year, I think it's
• 59:45
  Speaker 3: over at Shane Beamer's tenure. Ten What am I trying
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: to say? Tenure at South Carolina?
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: I really do.
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: And there's been a number of times that UK has
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: been responsible for having coaches fired. It's happened Tennessee, has
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: happened at Florida. It's happened at South Carolina in the past.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: And the crazy part is Shane Beemer could have been
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: making all kinds of money at Virginia Tech. You know,
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 3: Virginia Tech came after him a couple of years ago
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: and he turned it down. I wonder if he's starting
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: to regret why didn't I go to Virginia Tech.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: It's in the ACC easier to win bad football, easier
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: to win, Yeah, but is it that's job security right there?
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: If it's easier to win, how can I phrase this
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: phrase it the way you're supposed to. I feel like
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: South Carolina is more rewarding when you win. Being in
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: the SEC and winning, that's more rewarding than being in
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: the ACC and winning well.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 3: So, in other words, you think he wants the tough job,
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 3: which it is. It's tougher to coach. The tough job's
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 3: more rewarded. Yes, absolutely, if you succeed. But what happens
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: if you don't succeed, then.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: You get bought out and you're a millionaire for the
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: rest of your life.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 3: You are I thought it was funny. Ed Orizron was
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 3: interviewed within the last couple of hours and now you
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: can do his impression you're down pad on that cajun one.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 3: But did you see where the athletic director. He was
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 3: talking about the athletic director coming to him and talking
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 3: about listen, you know it's not been a good season
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 3: and you've got seventeen million on your buyout and.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: He's like, where's the door. I'm out of here. Just
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: give me my money. And he was. He was like, man,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: he was gone. I was happy about it. I'd be
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: the same way.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 3: He said, he's still really good friends. He was always
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 3: good friends with the actor athletic director LSU and he's
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 3: still really good friends with the athletic director. I thought
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 3: that was hilarious. It's like, no disappointment, Man, just give
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 3: me my money. I'm out of here. He's such a treasure.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: I tell you what.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 3: He's not as popular, I don't think as Mike Leech,
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 3: but I think he's pretty seeking close. Yeah, as far
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 3: as popularity, and the fact that he's an assistant coach
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: at LSU is just brilliant. I think Lane Kiffin did
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: a great job right there because people love them. You
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 3: gotta believe. When it comes to the recruiting room. One
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 3: of the coaches that the players, the recruits are probably
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 3: looking forward to meeting. The most is Ordron. So you
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 3: bring somebody like that back on your team. I think
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: it's a brilliant move, and kudos to Lane Kiffin for
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 3: doing that. I agree, But I don't want to give
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 3: kudos to Lane Kiffen.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: Why do you dislike him so much? Did somebody's face
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: something about his face? Hey, you just got a punchable face? Okay?
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, is that what it is? Okay? So Will,
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: you're going all Will Ferrell, who's the guy there's you
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: can work on it? Give me you're.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: Interrupting my own line, my own Yeah, exactly? Is he
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: saying power? I love that part. What's his first name?
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 3: Rob Wriggles. I think it's just no Wriggle. Okay, Rob Wriggle.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 3: He's hilarious every time I see it. You They used
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: to have a segment with him on wasn't It CBS
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 3: uh for the NFL, and I thought it was brilliant.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I don't think they do it anymore. All right,
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 3: let's talk about ESPN right now. So you know, like
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 3: we talked about, was it yesterday or day before? I
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 3: broke the news about uh ravage but losing his job
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: at the ESPN Was it yesterday? Okay, Carl Ravage. Now
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 3: a lot of people are blaming one person. Yeah, but
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 3: just ridiculous, is it?
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: Really? They're blaming two people? Really? All right?
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 3: Well, one I definitely know helped me out. Pat mcfee's
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 3: getting the number one blame. Who's the other person?
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: Our guy, Steve Steve Steve Smith. Oh yeah, okay, they're
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: getting blamed for all of this, but it's ridiculous. Why
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: is it ridiculous? I mean, it is now to the
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: point where Pat McAfee is getting paid sixty five million
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: dollars annually. I don't know what Steve's mis getting, but
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: it's it's upwards of that. Pat McAfee is the highest
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: paid guy ever at ESPN. When and how do you
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: not blame those two when they're getting paid that much.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 2: It's not their fault, it's not their faults, yes, but
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: it is their fault. Why are we That's the one
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: thing I don't understand. Why are they getting the crap
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: when ESPN is the one making these decisions. ESPN should
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: be getting the crap. Are you gonna seriously tell me
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: that if you're Pat McAfee. And you're making let's say,
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: thirty two million dollars a year, and ESPN comes to
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: you and says, hey, we're gonna give you a raise.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: How's sixty five million a year? Sound you turn it down?
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: You're gonna turn it down. No, you're gonna be like, well,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: by ESPN, let's let's do it this way. Those two
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: are the reason for the layoffs, though I'm not blaming them,
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: but because of the hold on, hold on, because of
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: the high price that ESPN and ABC are paying them.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: That is the reason that all these people are getting
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: laid off. I mean, that's just ESPN being bad at
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: running a business.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 3: Even jj Watt chimed in on this. So you go
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 3: slow slow news day over there on ESPN air waves.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: Huh.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, besides the fact that you're getting paid one
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 3: hundred million dollars, did they keep anybody or is everybody
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 3: fired to pay you? I'm trying to figure that out.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 3: That's jj Watt saying that. And you know they do
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 3: have a feud amongst each other. Yeah, but just because
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 3: because jj Watt said that kickers and punters are not
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 3: football players, I'd love that comment, by the way, Yeah.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: But this is ESPN mismanaging funds. I don't know what
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: else to say. I am not giving any blame to
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: Pat McAfee or Steven A. Smith. Is it all right?
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: Are they the reason for it? Maybe? Yes, they are
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: the reason that that is. That's an ESPN problem. Yeah,
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: and those I agree, those two guys shouldn't be getting
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: any heat for that. Like, imagine going to work today
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: if you're Pat McAfee, just the the eerie feeling of
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: everybody against you because they think that you're the reason
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: that their peers got fired. If you're Pat McAfee, you
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: don't want to feel that. You don't want to go
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: into an awkward workplace, and because you still have a
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: job and a lot of your buddies don't. Yeah, for
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: an issue that's not your problem.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 3: Exactly, but you can sugarcoat it any way you want.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 3: I'm not putting any blame on those two people. But
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 3: the fact is the reason a lot of people though
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 3: over there at ESPN the NFL network have lost their
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 3: job is because of the fact that ABC and NBC
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 3: are ESPN have paid that much money for those two people.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 3: That to me, you can't convince me any other way.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: It may not be their fault, but that is the reason.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, ESPN ABC should have figured out better. It's like,
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 3: oh wait a minute, guys, I can't pay you that
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 3: much because if I do, I'm going to have to
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 3: lay off a lot of people. Now, if they were
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 3: aware of that and I said, no, this is my deal.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 3: If you want me to say here, that's not my issue.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 3: You figure out how to keep those people, then it
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 3: is their fault. We just don't know how this was negotiated.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 3: But blame has to go somewhere. And the fact that
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 3: they're paying I think they're overpaying them by a lot
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 3: of money. They overpay everybody, Yes, they do. Couldn't agree
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 3: more so I.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: Can afford to do when you're the number one sports
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: network there is.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's selfish. Then even Tim Tebow agreed to
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 3: a new multi year extent. Did you see that. No,
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 3: they didn't release when he's getting paid, but they certainly
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 3: said he just got a new extension on his contract.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 3: So you could probably add Tim Tebow to that. And
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 3: he's not getting paid as much as Pat McAfee. But man,
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 3: something's going on over there, and I just think it's
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: got to slow down because I've seen too many people
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 3: criticizing definitely Pat McAfee and they're criticizing you're right, Steve Smith,
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: and I.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: Just don't get it.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 3: Why did they go all into those two people when
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 3: so many people it's like, I don't even watch them.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: Well, here's the deal. The numbers for ESPN are so
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: they're way down. When's the last time you watched it
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: in ESPN program zero? All right, I'm the same. I
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: couldn't tell you.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 3: I couldn't tell you other than SEC football and or
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 3: SEC basketball.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: That is. That's pretty much it. Yeah, I mean you
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: we want watch the sports, but we're not tuning in
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: for these shows. Hack Indiana Indiana football had a commitment
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: on Friday on the Pat McAfee show. I didn't even
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: watch it. So it's like nobody's locking into the ESPN
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: programming any and and they they're gonna have to try
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: to figure that out. There. They are still the worldwide leader,
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: but I do think that GAP's closing with with streaming
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: and you're you're seeing more more and more sports on
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: different platforms like Netflix, like Amazon. So the the aura
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: of ESPN it's kind of coming down by in Yeah.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 3: Without a doubt, and I can tell you as far
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 3: as that programming, I don't watch any of those shows.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 3: I think they're goofy. They're just a bunch of bluehearts.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, I am too, but I just it's goofy.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 3: I I watch like for instance, I didn't turn on
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 3: the SEC network to watch Will Well.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah I did.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 3: I did turn on the SEC network forget that. Wow,
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 3: you support ESPN, Yeah I did. I watched will Stein.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 3: It's your fault they got let go. Okay, yeah, it
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 3: is my f he did fire Cam Newton.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: That sucks.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I like Cam Newton. I'm sorry to see that
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 3: he had done a really good job and that goofy
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 3: had he wears. I'm pay with it. That ridiculous in
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 3: the sunglasses. I've always liked Cam Newton. I don't know why.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 3: I think he's a freak of an athlete that just
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 3: didn't turn out in the NFL. But man, in college
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 3: he was one of the best. But anyway, all right,
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 3: we gotta take a break, h and I gotta cut
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 3: loose in just a little bit. What we'll do one
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 3: more segment than justin Thank you very much for taking
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 3: over me. But I want to talk about the okay,
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 3: I guess you did so anyway, all right, we gotta
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 3: take a break. Stay right there. This is Jessica.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 4: Indeed, I don't know what's a dude to me? Splitch splash.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: I was taking the bath long about a Saturday nine
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: who rubbed up, just selection in the tub taking Everything
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: was all right.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 4: When I stepped out the tub and put my feet
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 4: on the floor, I wrapped the toddle around man, I
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 4: opened the door and.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: Then a split splash. I jumped back in the bath.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: Well I was out and know there was a party
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: going on it.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 3: Can you imagine writing a song about the bathtub? And seriously,
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 3: I think I'll write a song about taking a bath
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 3: and it became so popular that it's played what fifty
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 3: years later? Sixty years later? That's yeah, seventy years. I
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 3: mean when was that fifty I'd say it's in the fifties.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 3: So seventy almost eighty years later, that song is still played.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 3: Who's that Fats Domino?
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: Is that right? That was Bobby Dare.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, I would have never known that, but anyway,
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 3: we'll congratulations to him for doing that. Let's talk about
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 3: the Big Blue Wall. If you're not familiar, with the
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 3: Big Blue Wall, that the nine oh fifty eight. Okay,
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 3: all right, then there is a couple of outlets that
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 3: are giving high praise that UK's big Blue Wall is back,
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 3: one of them being CBS Sports. They ranked UK's offensive
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 3: line at number three in the country.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 3: Now does that give you a different outlook on UK?
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 3: If UK's offensive line is one of the top ones
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 3: in the nation, one of the top three, does that
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 3: give you a little bit different of an outlook on
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 3: UK football in general?
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: Now? I mean to me, it does. I'm glad it
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: not really you, but it doesn't really for me because
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: the schedule still is what the schedule is. Yeahpp, But
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: if the schedule is that way, okay, I'm sorry, and
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 2: I hate to keep harping on the schedule, but it is.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's I was telling somebody yesterday, it's probably
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: the hardest football schedule I've ever seen. Yeah, across the
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: landscape of college I mean, it's it's brutal. So that
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: is encouraging to hear. I love that, But I still
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: think you're up against a huge task each and every week.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 3: Really, Okay, all right then, because to me, if you
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 3: want a good football team, isn't the line the first thing?
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 3: You start with the offensive line? I guess you tell
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 3: me if you want a halfway decent quarterback there, don't
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 3: you want to know? Hey man, do I have a
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 3: good offensive line?
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, it definitely makes everybody in the backfield's job easier, quarterback,
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: running back, everybody. I mean it. Look look at we
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: talked about yesterday, but let me look at the season
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: with Brock Vandergriff and that alive line was awful. Yeah,
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: Brock probably should have looked a lot better had he
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: had a decent offensive line. And then you look at
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: the Will Levis season. His first season, offensive line was
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: awesome and he put up great numbers. So it does
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: go a long way to making the game of football
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: just that much easy.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 3: That that equates to the quarterback getting protection, having enough
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 3: time to pass. Then that allows for the wide receivers
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 3: to get downfield to at least get open catch a pass.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 3: That it gives holes in the line for the running
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 3: backs to run. I mean, it gives all kinds of options.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 3: It all is related. Now, granted, you do have to
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 3: have a halfway decent defense too, but on the offensive side,
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 3: it all starts with the line, and if uk has
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 3: the number three offensive line in the country, that makes
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 3: me feel a little different. Maybe we do have a chance.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna say sit here and say that. Yeah,
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 3: I'm buying fully in. As I've said the last three days.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 3: I'm buying in on will Stein. Yeah, and you should be.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 3: And I'm buying in on some of these players, like,
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 3: for instance, they're talking about Willie Rodriguez, the uh tight
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 3: end and the possibility to playing in the NFL, and
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 3: on Sundays coming to it for him after his days
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 3: at UK over and it's like, Okay, finally are we
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 3: going to pass to a tight end? Is this when
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 3: it's gonna Is this the year of the tight end?
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 3: I feel like tight end will be used this year.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 3: I do too, and that opens up so many other
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 3: opportunities when you do that.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: Go ahead. I was reading a quote yesterday Raush had
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: written an article about I guess he had talked to
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: some of the players down there in media days and
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: was basically just asking, who are we not talking enough about?
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 2: And I can't think of the kid's name, but there's
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: a freshman tight end who they're very high on him.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: So outside of you got your top two guys at
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: tight end, but I think that freshman will get used
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: as well, So I do. I think tight end will
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: be a pretty heavily used position this year. I hope so.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 3: But when I see these stats coming up, and it's
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 3: not just CBS Sports at saying this, there are other
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 3: ones out there. I mean there have been i'd say
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 3: probably three or four other outlets, national outlets that are
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 3: saying UK has one of the top offensive lines, and
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 3: I'm just thinking this is awesome and uh so the
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 3: possibilities that opens up.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, it was not a it was not a freshman.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: It was a sophomore. But Michel Skinner is they're all
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: pretty high on him as well, really from that tight
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: end Yeah, okay, good. Minschi singled him out specific Oh
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: Minschi did says everyone has their own unique attributes their abilities,
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: but he's very, very explosive.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 3: Huh okay, Well, if your quarterback is uh saying that,
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 3: then feels like a good thing.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: Definitely.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 3: So it's like, okay, all right, we're gonna have to
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 3: see what happens.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: Now. Uh, let's talk a little bit about baseball.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 3: If you didn't Baba, that's a good song by the way.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 3: Former UK baseball shortstop Tyler Bell finalized his deal with
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 3: the Colorado Rockies on Monday.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 3: He will reportedly make six million dollars.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: Must be nice.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, But isn't it crazy though? It's there is such
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 3: a difference between sports. If this was NFL, if this
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 3: was NBA, they would be talking about a lot more money. Yeah,
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 3: and yet with baseball at six eight granted sixteen dollars.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 3: You're right, it's a lot of money, especially when you're
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 3: twenty one, twenty two years old. And congratulations to Tyler Bell?
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 3: Or did you get drafted Colorado Rocky?
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: Know what? Like? What round? Oh? A first roundud? Oh? Yeah?
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 3: I think he was eighteen or something like that. One
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 3: of the highest, second highest UK Baseball player to be drafted.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: Here's the highest. I don't remember. Oh come on, man,
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: come on, I am not doing any research on the
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: stuff we talk about. Here we go. Yeah, thank you
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: very much. Mister Texas.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 3: Are you the one texting in some weird line right
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 3: there and calling me out?
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: Is that what it is? Oscar Combs gives me Mikey,
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: you really you know this stuff? You're right? Bell was
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: a tenth overall pick. Okay, tenth overall. Also, I do
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: have a spread for the TVT game as well to
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: do you sow whata's shocking? I don't know that the
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: sports books know what's going on yet, but Louisville is
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: a two and a half point favor.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 3: Oh really, I would say it's because of the beatdown
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 3: Monday night.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they probably just hadn't gotten news of Archie
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 2: good one yet.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because I think that's the other thing exactly, that's
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 3: a great point. It has to be because they did
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 3: not know. Now it'll be adjusted, don't you think it'll
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 3: be completely Do you think that the uh it'll change
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 3: to where UK is favored by a tip off?
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 2: That wouldn't surprise me. I mean with this rabbit as
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: BBN is and yeah, that that wouldn't shock me at all.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'll be honest with you. I've already put
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: in my wager for the Cats. Oh you have? Yeah?
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: Oh that's not good two and a half. I can't
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: really pass that up when at home. Okay, So sorry
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: ahead of time if I I spurred it all? All right?
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 3: Well, now now I have a different outlak on this
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 3: basketball all of a sudden. Yeah, more juicy yet does.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, everyone out there listening puts your money on
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 3: U of L because that's you know, Justin has already
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 3: picked the UK, so that means UK is going to lose.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, for what it's worth, I did pick Louisville
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 3: on my show, but you did, but that was before
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 3: you knew all the information though, yes, and that that
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 3: definitely changes my mindset. Yeah, okay, well crap this. I'm
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 3: really disappointed now because I don't want to come in
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 3: tomorrow knowing the fact that uh, La Amelia, I'm already
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 3: screwing up the name La Familia is going to lose.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 2: So okay, well, shoot, well hopefully they won't.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 3: I still get to keep doing this, though, if they're
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 3: going to continue to do this, if they do lose
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 3: tonight tonight, and they're going to continue this tournament, they
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 3: got to change the name. Okay, I've said it three
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 3: days in a row. Let's let's move on from laf Amelia.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 3: Let's come up with something more original, something more up
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 3: to date, and who knows, Sometimes when you have you know,
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 3: just like these teams that change their uniforms, like for instance,
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 3: when the Cincinnati Bengals did a whole redo of their
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 3: unis and added the stripes on the helmets. That's when
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 3: they went to the Super Bowl for the first time.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: They're white jerseys of that is so cool.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 3: I love them, Yeah, I do. I love what the
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 3: Bengals have done.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 2: The Jets are. They're debuting a white uniform this year.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: White top, white pants, white helmet. Interesting.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 3: I'm surprised there hasn't been an NFL team that will
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 3: come out with a chrome helmet.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, me too. Actually, you see it a lot in college.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 3: I think UK has the best, and I know I'm biased,
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 3: but hands down, I think they have the best look
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 3: in uniform. When they go all royal with the chrome helmets,
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 3: that is so cool that that, to me is an
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 3: electric night. I hope when UK plays Alabama that's what
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 3: they go with. Do you think the coaches look at
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 3: the stats and say, okay, show me the winning stats
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 3: for every uniform combination. No, you don't think so. I
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 3: would I put the numbers down because I think sometimes
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 3: mentally you feel different, Like I feel different when I'm
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 3: in a coat and top. I feel more confident when
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 3: I'm in a do you really No, I feel like
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 3: I'm ready for business.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: I'm ready for success when I'm in it.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 3: And that's just me, and I'm not saying that for you,
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 3: but mentally for me, that helps me. And I think
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 3: I would believe that wearing a certain uniform style would
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 3: be the same way for a particular team.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: And you don't agree with that. I'm sure there's maybe
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 2: one coach on the staff that is doing that sort
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 2: of thing, but I bet they don't go back and
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 2: reference it. Yeah, okay, maybe they do. I don't know.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 2: There's there's weird people out there. I'm a geek for numbers,
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 2: so that that sounds like something I would do.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but who knows. Okay, all right, then, well, uh
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 3: I gotta take off. Justin is gonna take over for
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 3: me for the last segment, but uh, I'll be back
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 3: tomorrow and we'll talk about there is a complete mess
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 3: in this freaking desk. I don't know what's going on
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 3: in here, but my eight peanuts is what they did?
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. Oh yeah, oh you know what. I
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 2: bet it was lunchtime yesterday.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 3: Oh it must be nice to get lunch. How about
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 3: breakfast time someday? How about somebody bring in some breakfast.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 2: That'd be cool.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 3: The radio station we got donuts one time. I don't
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 3: know if Jamie did a phenomenal job, and I appreciate that.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 3: All right, Uh, we'll talk about the TVT tomorrow. But

  Speaker 2: to try to answer that. If anyone does call here
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 2: in this final segment, but Michael gone for the day,
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 2: has to go down to Churchill Horses going through gate training.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 2: I don't remember what he called it, but basically learning
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: how to get into a starting gate. So then in
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 2: the future it can be clear to start racing, which
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 2: is really exciting. That means we can start to gamble
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 2: on Michael's horses. I know he doesn't want us to,
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 2: but yeah, looking forward to that. Looking forward to that.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 2: But welcome back in. We are gonna head over to
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 2: the Whiskey Thief text line. Michael was nice enough to
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 2: save those for me, so I'll read those here and
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 2: then I've got a wild story in regards to Spain
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: winning the World Cup. It's not soccer related, but it
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: has to do with their prize that they got when
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 2: they got back to Spain. Had no idea this was
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 2: the thing. So we'll discuss that here coming up as well.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 2: But for now here on the text line, we get
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: a text from Illinois Texter says, was kind of hoping
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 2: you would give me praise for talking about sports for once.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: While I am a decent sports guy, it's hard for
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: me to get into uk U of L or IU.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 2: I'm trying my best, though I have gotten into U
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 2: OFL baseball quite a bit, although this was a down
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 2: year for them. Yeah, not probably not the best year
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 2: to get to get into Louisville baseball. They were it
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: was tough. That was tough to watch j I didn't realize.
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 2: I went back Illinois Texter and looked at at previous text.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 2: You're right, you really do not bring up sports all
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 2: that often on the text line, but we appreciate you
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 2: being a part of the show either way, and thanks
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 2: for texting us this morning. Another TEXTA says, let me see,
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 2: I make sure I got the right one. Here says
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: Jeff already turned down Tennessee while at Purdue. See, I
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 2: didn't realize that. I had no idea that Jeff was
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 2: even offered the Tennessee job. But I'm with you, And again,
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 2: I know Michael's got a little inside trader thing going on,
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 2: but I don't. I just don't see Jeff leaving for Tennessee.
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 2: I really don't. And the next text backs that up
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: says Jeff will only leave for Notre Dame or the NFL.
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 2: And that's exactly how I feel. That's exactly how I
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 2: feel he's come out and said publicly how he feels
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 2: about Notre Dame. But then you get the news yesterday
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 2: from Marcus Freeman, the current head coach at Notre Dame,
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 2: and he basically comes out and he says, I'm all in.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 2: I can't cannot imagine myself coaching anywhere else. So if
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 2: that's the case, Jeff Brom's never going to get an
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 2: opportunity at Notre Dame because Marcus Freeman was he mid thirties,
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 2: maybe early forties, the young guy, Marcus Freeman's gonna be
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 2: there for a really, really long time if what he
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 2: said yesterday is true. And of course, on top of that,
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: you've got to win games that if you don't win games,
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 2: that could maybe maybe you get kicked out or you
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: get fired, and even though you do want to coach
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: there for the rest of your life. But my point is,
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 2: I don't think Brom will ever get an opportunity at
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 2: Notre Dame, and I don't think at this juncture he
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 2: would go to the NFL. I feel like Jeff Brom's
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: pretty damn happy here at Louisville, but I could be wrong.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 2: I don't have any inside information to back that up next,
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 2: Texter says, also agree on Steve Sarkisian is indeed on
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 2: the hot seat. They fired a national championship coach. Being
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 2: good isn't their standard. Texas fans are getting tired of him. Okay,
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 2: I can get behind that. Like I said, I personally
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: don't think Sarkisian's on the hot seat. But then you
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 2: start thinking about everything that's tied to this upcoming season.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 2: They've got a lot of hype coming into this year,
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 2: the whole arch manning thing. Apparently he's taking a large
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 2: step forward. A lot of people are hopeful for Texas
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 2: football this year. And you're right, that's not the type
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 2: of place where we got into the playoffs. No, if
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 2: you get into the playoffs, you've got to do something.
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 2: You've got to make a nice little run if you're Texas.
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 2: So I'm gonna back up my take. I'm gonna side
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 2: with you here, Texter, get on your side a little
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: bit that maybe Sarkisian is indeed on the hot seat.
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 2: I'll say, luke warm seat for now, but has potential
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 2: to get really hot, really quick. Texas says me. Here
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 2: we go, yo, Fellas. First off, why are y'all always
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 2: hating on the game Cocks they keep whipping UK. Also, also,
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 2: if it's so easy to win games in the ACC,
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 2: why does Cardinals keep putting up forty plus points in
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 2: routing Kentucky. You bring up some good points there. I
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 2: wish Michael was here to to defend himself a little
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 2: bit and have an answer for this. Michael just doesn't
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 2: like the game Cox, doesn't like South Carolina, doesn't like
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 2: Shane Beemer. There's a lot of things that are a
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 2: lot of what's the way I'm trying to say this,
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 2: there's a few things that Michael just doesn't much care for,
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 2: and South Carolina and Shane Beemer is right up there
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 2: at the top of that list. So that's why you
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 2: get the hate on South Carolina has too the ACC
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 2: easy to win games. I mean, Kentucky the last two
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 2: years just has not been good. In that Louisville game,
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 2: there's no way to sugarcoat that at all. It's been
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 2: pretty atrocious. Texas says, why do all the Kentucky fans
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 2: keep whining about the schedule? I wish Louisville was playing
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 2: against that many ranked teams. Your fans need to grow
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 2: a pair and lace up the cleats good grief. See
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 2: that's the thing text or there's two different mindsets with this.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 2: You've got the people that they're okay with a lighter
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 2: schedule because it means you're winning more games, and then
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 2: there's people like you that they would find it fun
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 2: to play a daunting schedule like Kentucky is going to
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 2: have to this year. I don't know that whining about
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 2: it is the right word. I mean, I think Kentucky
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 2: fans and the coaching and players all that it is
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 2: what it is. They know that there's nothing they can
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 2: do to change the schedule. You've got on your schedule,
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 2: and what you've got in front of you is what
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 2: you got in front of you and on the schedule,
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: so there's nothing you can do about it. Just got
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 2: to go out and play the games. But I think
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 2: if you were to look at their schedule, if you
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 2: haven't already, it is brutal. I'll be the first to
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 2: tell you, like I said to Michael earlier, maybe one
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 2: of the hardest schedules I've ever seen in college football.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 2: Pretty nuts. John text In says John here Hey justin.
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: Michael said that one day SEC and the Big Ten
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 2: would leave the NC DOUBLEA. What do you really think
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 2: about that? If it did happen, what would it look like?
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 2: In your opinion? How soon would it happen if it
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 2: was going to We'll got to go talk to you later, John,
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to happen soon at all. Now.
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 2: You do keep getting all this talk from the SEC,
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 2: and but that's all it is to me. It's all
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 2: just talk. There's not gonna be any action in regards
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 2: to the SEC leaving NC double A. Does it happen eventually,
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 2: I would It's hard to predict the future, but I
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 2: wouldn't be surprised. I do think if if one leaves,
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 2: they both leave. I think that the Big ten and
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 2: the SEC would be would be in lockstep if a
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 2: move were to happen. But I don't think. I don't know,
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 2: maybe ten fifteen years. Like I said earlier, if you
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 2: if you give me a timeline of ten years, i'd
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 2: put it at like eight to ten percent that one
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 2: of those is leaving the NC DOUBLEA by that point.
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: It's hard to figure out a lot of the stuff
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 2: with the NC double A and with the way the
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 2: college athletics is now, it's just it's hard to figure out.
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 2: I hate it. I freaking hate it. Uh. Patrick Murphy
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: text in says, good to hear about Michael and his horse.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 2: Hopefully one day they get to be in the Derby.
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 2: I know that he would love nothing more. I know
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 2: that he would absolutely love to have a Derby horse.
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 2: Now I don't know that it's specifically got to be
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 2: the Derby. I mean, if he had a horse in
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 2: the Preakness, I don't think he would complain about that,
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 2: or a horse in the Belmont. He's not going to
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 2: be complaining about that. But yeah, something about growing up
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 2: here in Louisville and then now getting an opportunity to
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 2: be in the horse game having a Derby horse could
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 2: be That could be really awesome. Dexter says, thank you
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 2: Scoots for holding it down on your own this last segment.
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 2: So glad you were back on the station. Yep, I
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 2: appreciate the kind words there. It's been been nice being back.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 2: What is this week three? I want to say, hard
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 2: to believe that it's already the third week of being back,
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 2: but yeah, it's been fun. I love being here each
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 2: and every morning, and a large part of that is
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 2: because you all on the text line. You all do
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 2: a tremendous job. You keep interacting with all the shows
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 2: here on Big X. It's just been a lot of
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 2: fun being back, and I'm glad I'm back as well.
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 2: All Right, before ever we get out of here, I
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 2: do want to talk about what this Spain team was
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 2: gifted when they arrived back in their country. So back
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 2: in twenty ten when they won their first ever World Cup,
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 2: they get back to Spain and Jesu's novice, who was
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 2: part of that first Spain team to win the World Cup,
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 2: he was presented with tomatoes corresponding to his body weight.
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 2: You heard that right, When he got back to Spain,
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 2: he was gifted his body weight in tomatoes. Now he
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 2: had the same thing with two guys from this year's team.
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 2: You have see if they can get their names here,
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 2: Babby and Ruiz and Govi. Both of those two when
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 2: they got back to Spain were gifted their weight in tomatoes.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 2: So Ruiz he checks in at one hundred and eighty
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 2: five pounds, it's a lot of tomatoes to be given somebody.
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 2: And then gove he's one hundred and fifty, So Govey
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 2: gets one hundred and fifty pounds of tomatoes while Ruiz
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 2: gets one hundred and eighty five pounds of tomatoes. That
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 2: is nuts. I can't think of anything that I would
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 2: want less for a prize for winning the World Cup
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 2: than than tomatoes. And I'm sure there's a deeper story
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 2: behind this and why this is and then the tradition
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 2: became what it is, But I have no idea. I
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 2: have no idea. I just I saw that headline this
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 2: morning and I was like, really, out of everything, you
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 2: could have given me tomatoes. Eh, I'm good on that.
• 1:34:30
