• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Hello Big Blue Nation. Welcome to Just the Cats. My
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: name is Michael Bennett. On this Wednesday, July fifty our
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: two year anniversary, which I had just I just realized
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: that this is our two year anniversary. I mean I
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: didn't I didn't remember until just now at the anniversary.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Michael Bennett. Yeah, well you were supposed to say no,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: you just told me a couple of minutes ago. But anyway, Yeah, yeah,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: I was gonna let you get the credit for that.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: But yeah, which is hard to believe. It's it's it's
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: it just has flown by the last two years. Not really,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: but it has just unbelievably flown by. Uh and and
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: I've I've enjoyed uh every minute of it, of it
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: with you, not really but what.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: You're not paying attention.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Kevin Neel and you used to do that on a
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Saturday Night live bit, which always made me laugh. I
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: mean it was he would say something that says that's
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: not really true but and then under his breath. But anyway,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: I always thought that was funny. Kevin Nealan was always
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: between him and nor McDonald and that whole cast with
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Adam Sandler, Chris Farley. They were my favorite of all
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: of Saturday Night Live. I thought they were the funniest.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Phil Hartman was a part of that Jan Hicks, but
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: I love that crew. But anyway, but happy second year anniversary.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, we've now been married for a couple of
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: years here at this radio station, and okay, okay, I
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: just want to put that out there. I'm not married. Okay, okay, No, no,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: you're not. And you're you're you're eagerly looking, that's for certain.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: So maybe Corey Price can find you somebody.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Because he drives down to see his girlfriend and Elizabethtown,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: but maybe it's you should ride with him. But it's
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: been I'll tell you this justin it's been a fun
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: couple of years.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: The funniest thing to me because it came to fruition
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: again yesterday.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about that in a minute.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: But the thing with you that makes me laugh the
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: most when you were so adamant that a tea particular
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: team is going to win or lose and the absolute
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: opposite happens. And of course, who did you pick yesterday
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: that was going to win in the uh in the
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: World Cup.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, we don't have to stop. We don't have
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: to stop there if you want to go down that road.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: I had France. I have see National League in the
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: All Star Game, so.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, you did.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I went over to No, please tell me you didn't
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: bet on those two teams, did Okay?
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Good? That's the best part is that you didn't do that.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: So I'm afraid for you because if you do start
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: betting on the teams you believe are gonna win, you're
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: gonna be out of money in probably a matter of hours.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: That days, not weeks, not month, might be why don't
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: have any money? Now?
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Well, no, don't say that, but I just just yeah,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: please please stop gambling. But that's why I don't want
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: to tell you the names of my horses, Okay, I
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: just don't want. I don't want to say anything about
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: my stable scene he killed stable and and let you
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: look that up on the website and then you see, oh,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Michael's horses racing day.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Please don't bet on it. Here's here's the thing with gambling. Yes,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: my thing I tell everybody all the time. Don't gamble
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: more than you can afford to lose. Yes, And that's
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: something I'm really really good. So don't worry about are
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: you really? So that's the one thing I've got really control.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: When it comes to gambling, you do it, but when
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: it comes to fireball, you have no control.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: That's accurate.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, see, exactly, sugar somewhat still is. But I can
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: somehow say no to sugar today.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I do have that.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: But I have had quite the accomplishment of the last
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: couple of days, which is drinking water. Monday, Yeah, oh,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Monday and Tuesday, I drank a tonne of water. I
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: have not had a soda since Sunday, and how hard
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: is that to do? It hasn't been hard. I was
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: telling the roommate last night. I was like, I didn't
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: even like plan to do this. It just kind of
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: happened where I haven't had a soda in two days.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: So I think I'm just gonna keep going.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Good for you.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Well, they do say that soda is linked to dementia,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: which that would check out. Dyke soda is exactly is
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: shay is linked to it? And I'm like, Okay, I'm
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: never having a Dyke coke again.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I'm addicted to dyke coke.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: That's probably my biggest weakness is a Dike coke because
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I listen. You go to a particular place in here
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: that has a letter with a circle around it, you
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: know where I'm talking about. If I go there, I
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: can use my little membership card and it now comes
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: down to a seventy nine cent drink.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: And they have the best ice in the world. Okay,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Circle K.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: They I love Circle K, the crushed ice that they have,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: and they have the styrophone cups. I'm so sick and
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: tired of people getting rid of styrographone cups. Iceed to
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: go to McDonald's all because of their styrophone cups and
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: how good the diet cakes they did. I no longer
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: go to McDonald's to get die cokes. I go to
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: the Circle K because the ice is fantastic, and I
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: get it for seventy nine cents because I like bargains.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: But that's what I am, A bargain hunter. Yeah, I
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: listen anytime I go to a store.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: I went for the first time in a while, I
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: went to a local ice cream place establishment and I
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: was cutting up with the girl. I said, you know,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: pretend I'm your boyfriend and give me a bigger scoop.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: And no, it isn't sometimes I'll say something, Pretend I'm
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: your dad. Okay, pretend I'm your boyfriend and give me
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: a big scoop. And she started laughing. She goes, oh,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: I'm going to give you a big, really big scoop.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Now. Perfect.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: So I said, you get along with your boyfriend because
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: it's backfired before as well, it's backfired to the point
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: where I just broke up with my boyfriend. I'm like, oh, no, okay, man,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I really screwed this up. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: to hear that. How are you getting along with your dad? Well,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen my dad in a while. I'm like,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: oh my gosh, I'm two for two right now. Who
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: are you close with? Well, I'm close with my mom.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: I said, Pretend I'm your mom and give me a
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: bigger scopy. I mean all of that is oh, thanks
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: a lot. Okay, No, I do not. But anyway, don't
• 6:35

  Speaker 2: Smith is going to be joining us to the second
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: hour at nine o'clock. That will be a lot of fun.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: And of course timing's perfect because he was just he
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: elected to the Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame and I'm
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: excited talk to him about that in his stint that UK,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: I am fully prepared with questions.

  Speaker 2: Yeah, and uh I kind of like a lot of
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: the questions I've got ready.

  Speaker 1: Does one pertain to Saul a zero?
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: No, I didn't bring up Should I bring up anything
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: about Saul? No, I'm just I was just here where
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: he's at now. Oh, okay, see, I think that's a
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: great question. Where your boys and uh I.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Played?
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Uh well, you had two boys played Georgia played one
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: played at Georgia, one played at Kentucky. Yeah, well it
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: was the Georgia ones name you remember? Don't ask me
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: that right now. I'll tell you in a few minutes.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: But uh, I don't remember what his name is. I'm
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: sure somebody will text me in just the same thing.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Uh But oh, he has three sons. Yes, one was younger,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: that's Rgi. That's it, and then Saul and Brian. Brian
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: was the young Brian played at Old myth? Did he
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: really good for him?
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Okay? Yeah.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: One of the things that you know that kept him
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: from staying is because he wanted one of his sons
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: being assistant coach or something like that, and so uh
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: uh but I don't remember how all that transpired. But uh,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: I'm excited about him coming on. Uh.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I think it'll be a lot of fun. Uh.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Coach Smith has a lot of fun to talk to
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: talk to and what a fun personality he is. So
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: we'll have that at a second hour, nine o'clock, and
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: but before then, we have several other things we want
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: to talk about. And if you want to join us,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: you can call in at five oh two three eight
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: four fourteen fifty. You want to text in on the
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Whiskey Thief text line, you can do that five oh
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: two four one four fourteen fifty. And you can also
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: tweet me at just the Cat Radio.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Listen.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: If you have a question you want me to try
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: and ask, as long as it's something that wouldn't offend him.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to ask him anything.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: I might have one question that's going to be right
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: on the edge, and I haven't decided if I'm going
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: to ask it or not. And uh, but but we'll see.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: We'll see if I asked about now. I want to
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: keep it fun, lighthearted with coach Smith. Uh but anyway, Uh, well,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: we'll we'll see if that happens or not. So uh
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: but but uh, I'm curious what it is really should
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: I should I talk to you about it first and
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: then see if it's something we should talk about if that's.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: The route you think you need to go.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: I know, I just want to know, all right, I'm
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: curious to ask him if he followed along when a
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: former coach at UK made the comment that UK is
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: a basketball school, how would he have responded if he
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: was a coach of another sport. I like it, so,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: I just I'm curious because you know, the football coach
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: it took a little offense to it, as he should have.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Should I ask that question or stay away from anything
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: that's going to be considered controversy because that's a controversial
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: type of question. And again, I want to keep it
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: kind of light hearted. But honestly, I'd like to know.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: I'd like to talk to him out now in IL today.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Is he glad he's out of basketball or coaching because
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: of the inn il I think I think the answer
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: would be yes. I think if you ask, I think
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: if you ask, majority of the coaches of his age,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: I think I think the percentage would be ninety five
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: percent or more would say, yes, I am so glad
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: I'm out of coaching because you got to transfer portal
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: where they can transfer. You got to recruit the same
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: players all four years or five years if they stay,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: that's to be old. And the fact that you've got
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: to raise money, the fact that you've got to negotiate pricing,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: work with agents.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: I think ninety five.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Percent or more of the coaches from that era would
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: say I am so done. Yeah, and I'm glad I'm
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: out of basketball. Would you agree with that? Yeah, for sure.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: And I like that question.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Maybe save the football basketball on until if we have time, Oh,
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: if we have time.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Do you think why do you think it's a little
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: too controversial or do you think, eh, maybe people aren't
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: necessarily interested in that anymore.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm just I'm not sure how he would answer.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know, because I do you think he followed
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: along and would understand what you're even talking about.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know. That's the other thing when I have
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: to get real.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, I think I think majority of the country saw
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: that that was a bit of an embarrassing time, and
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: the way it was handled by a particular athletic director
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: was the wrong way to handle it. You just say, hey, hey,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: we can't we're in all school. We're not just a
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: school of one sport. We're in all school. That's it enough.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: And the fact that you had to get all both
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: coaches together and do this whole interview, Yeah, I didn't
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: think that went over too well. So I just think
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: that was mishandled. That's that's my personal opinion, whether or
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: not other people think that. I just I would have
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: handled it completely differently. You got to take something like that,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: take it by the you know, the horns, and commute it.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: What's that? Oh? I know that's where no, of course,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: so thank you for noticing.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: See two years right down and you know exactly where
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: I was going. Total hesitation there. It's like, okay, where
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: am I going with us? Okay, horns, I'll go with
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: the horns. But anyway, all right, did you watch two
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: things happened yesterday? We'll start with the first one because
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: it happened at three o'clock.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Are are you?
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Are you one of those that's upset about this, this
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: timing that it's happening at because I see I see
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: our friend, our good friend Nick Raus really criticized it.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: He hates the time at three o'clock. You love it?
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: And did you clearly you watch the game? I did.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So with my schedule, once I'm done here at
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: noon every day, the rest of my day is pretty flexible.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: I can I can go over to the other station
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: whenever I want for the most part, So yeah, I was.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: I had the luxury of sitting down. I did watch
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: a good majority of it. I did turn it off
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: late because I knew France just wasn't gonna make it happen.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: But I thought it was very entertaining. It did not
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: go the way I thought it would, like you alluded to,
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: I was clearly on France. I thought France was the
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: best team in the country or in the world. But
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: when you get to this stage of the World Cup
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: and you have the top four teams out there, some
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: crazy stuff could happen. And that's necessarily not even all
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: that crazy, right, because Spain's I think the number three
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: team in the world, So I wasn't necessarily shocked. Now
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: today I feel the exact same way about Argentina as
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: I did about France.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: So what am I gonna do? Michael?
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna say England wins today? Oh you are, so
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: I'm going all out on Argentina. I'm just telling you.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Bet. Everybody listening to this ridiculous show bet Argentina, Okay,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: because Justin said he's going with England, and I'm right there.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: I listen.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: I think it's this Potentially they're saying is gonna be
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Messi's last World Cup. So don't you I'm curious knowing
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: something like that. To me, I'd go with Argentina. But
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: you're going with England. Why are you going with England?
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Because I've been wrong so often?
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Well, wait, in your heart, then you in your mind,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: you really think Argentina is gonna win?
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: I don't think they'll win at all, but I think
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: they win. See that makes me concerned. Which way do
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: I take the Justin prediction? Well, now you've got me, Sinre,
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: You've got me in my own head now, and now
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know what I actually feel.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Damn you.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Well, I listen when it's an insincere pick, then you
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: go the other route. So now I need to know
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: which one are you sincere about winning this game, because
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: that's who I want to bet against.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: So you've messed me up.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: Now again, you've completely messed me up because I okay,
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: after yesterday's result, my mind immediately went to, well, I
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: think Argentina's gonna win tomorrow, so that probably means that
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: England's gonna win. And now I have no idea. I
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: wouldn't be surprised either way if either one of these
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: teams advanced, because they're they're both pretty dang good.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Oh, all four of these teams between Spain, who is it? Yes? Uh, Spain, France,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Argentina and England.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Those are the fourth It's the first time ever in
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: the history that all the best teams have actually made
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: it to far. So does that make the United States
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: host the greatest World Cup that they've that's ever happened?
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: That?
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: I don't know because I haven't I haven't watched them all.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: But this has been a good one. It's I've really
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: enjoyed this World Cup and it makes me sad that
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: less than a week it's all gonna be over.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, for those of you out there
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: that don't listen to so much, you know, I don't
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: like soccer, and I have watched all of probably ten
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: to fifteen seconds of a game. I will say it's
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: been fun seeing the activity and seeing the United States,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: what I think is really shined. Every host city has
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: done a phenomenal job. And now Atlanta's really concerned what's
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: going on there because evidently Argentina and England do not
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: get along as far as fan bases really. So, yeah,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: so they have completely separated where fans can go in
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: to the Mercedes been Stadium, but they can't control what
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: happens inside because there's no separation of the fan bases
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: down there. So they've got the local police involved, they
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: got the FBI involved, they got all kinds of people
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: involved making sure that everyone acts appropriately.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Would have never.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Guess that England and Argentina didn't like are you being
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: facetious or are you being serious? No?
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Serious?
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: Like?
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Where does that come from? Is that something historical that
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: I should not?
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: I have no idea, but that's just what they were
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: reporting on the news when I was watching it a
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: few minutes ago. They said, these fan bases do not
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: get along, So we're gonna make certain that they go
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: into separate entrances into the Mercedes Stadium. Course, I'm being
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: very deliberate on how I say the stadium name, and
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: then from there, because it's not Atlanta Stadium. I mean
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: it's Mercedes Stadium. And then once they get in there,
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: they got to watch them and we'll have to see
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: what happens from that standpoint, So usher in that stadium.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: And you know, at this point, I don't know if
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: I would want to sell alcohol. Would you have two
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: rivals like that. Let's take some really big rivals. I
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: think Jets, Giants are big rivals, Red Sox, Yankees obviously,
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Uku of l UK Tennessee.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Don't you think, Man, it's a little.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Scary to sell more alcohol to those types of games,
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: knowing that that might an inebriated fan is going to
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: be a little more irate than a non inebriated fan. Yeah,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: but I mean, you can't take that revenue off. But
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: alcohol is such a huge revenue generator for sporting events.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Exactly. You can't go right away.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: You have to go into these things with the assumption
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: that everybody's going to be a grown up we're all
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: gonna be able to handle our liquor now we I mean,
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: that's not gonna happen. We know that's not gonna happen.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: But that's right, that's kind of the mindset you got
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: to go in with.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: Right, Yes it is, but I mean it just it
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: makes it really tough. So all right, we gotta take
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: our first break. If you want to call in five
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: O two three four fourteen fifty, you want a text

  Speaker 2: Darryl Good. Thank you very much for talking about my album. Yes,

• 21:27
  Speaker 2: So there you go. Daryl Good is who I was
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: talking about. Yes, nice Scott. I remember meeting him years ago.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: We did a remote down in Paducah at a golf course,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: which was a lot of fun. Had a loyal listener
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: down there that ran a golf course down there. He
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: invited me to come do the show. Larry Vaught was
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: with me, and Larry and I did the show from there.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: It was a lot of fun, and I met Darryl
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: at that event. Hopefully, listen, I'd love for us. You
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: and me did our two year invert. We should have
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: on something together. But as far as some kind of
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: a celebration, we need to start doing more remotes. Wow,
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: we haven't done a single one in two years, and
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: we got to figure out that.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: I will give you a call later because we have
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: a potential.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Oh really, I'll tell you more, and you you, I
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: don't want, I don't wanna. I don't want to mention
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: anything here. Oh you don't.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, we can potentially have one coming up.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Oh really interesting. Okay, but listen, Michael Bennett loves potential,
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: because that's I am. I am all about potential. That's
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: what I told my first boss. I am potential right here.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, And then that night, in the middle of
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: the night, he made me after I was hired, made
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: me go teach nurses at the University of Tennessee Hospital
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: how to put patient restraints on beds and lock the
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: patients down. You know what patient restraints are is when
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: you put it's like handcuffs, except they're made on material
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: and so patients can't take their IV out or anything
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: like that. And finally, the last nurse me says, uh,
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: mister Bennett, I realize this is your first time doing this,
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: but I've been in nursing for over thirty years. I
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: know what I'm doing. You don't need to explain it
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: to me. And if you call me ma'am one more time,
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna lose my mind. I said, yes, ma'am. I mean, yes,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: I won't. It's just it's just a habit for me.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Some people don't like to be called yes sir, yes, ma'am.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: It's they say it makes them feel old. And I'm
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: not trying to make you feel old. It's just it's
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: just something I was brought up on all my life. Yeah,
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: I've never associated it with old. I've always associated it
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: with respect. Yeah, exactly. It has nothing to do with age,
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: but man, there are more. And it sounds like I'm
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: picking on women, but I'm not. But there are more
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: women out there. They're somewhat offended by people saying yes, ma'am,
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: and I'm kind of surprised by that.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: I just I don't trying to be nice.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: But anyway, John here, Hey Michael, I agree with your
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: food takes on cross talk with Justin this morning.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: This is going to be a great show today.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: I know you will ask Coach Smith about the comments
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: about the ninety eight championship team, especially the comment it
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: was coach Patino's players. I cannot wait to hear the interview.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: I will be watching. Happy anniversary, guys. Got to go
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: talk to you later. Yes, I do have some ninety
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: eight questions regarding that thing, right there, John, So good call.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to talking about the ninety eight team.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: And is he offended by fans that say, hey, that
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: was more Rick Patino's team than not. I think there's
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: a very nice way to say it without offending Tubby Smith,
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: because I still think there was more pressure on Tubby
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Smith that season, probably more than any other year, because
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: he's following up his former boss and he's now at
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: the the University of Kentucky, who had just come off
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: a national title run in ninety seven, a title win
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: in ninety six. I mean, that's got to be really
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: hard to follow. I can think of all the coaches
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: out there. I mean, it must have been exceptionally hard
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: to follow Bear Bryant, it must be exceptionally hard to follow,
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Adolph Rupp, it must be exceptionally hard to follow.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Statement God geez, I mean, I'm kind of.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: The next coach there's Truthfully, you're exactly correct.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: I mean I don't think.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: I don't think Rick Pattino thought it was difficult to
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: follow Denny Crumb, but I mean it had to been somewhat.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: I mean I look at former coaches and I think
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: it must be hard to follow those coaches. I bet
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: it was hard for Mark Pope to follow John Caliperry.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: They think of the success that cal had at Kentucky.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Now the last few years it wasn't, but it's still
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: is very difficult when you have a dynamic, outspoken coach
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: like that who's getting all the greatest recruits in the
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: country and follow up that. I mean, that's got to
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: be really difficult. I'm trying to think who else in
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: the NFL. I could probably Bill Belichick would be a
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: good one. Yeah, it's got.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: To be really hard. Andy who's the Chiefs coach? Andy Reid?
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Andy Reid.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: I bet it will be hard following up him basketball.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: I bet it was hard following up pat Riley. H
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Phil who is Phil Jackson from the Bulls. I bet
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: it was extremely difficult to follow him up.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: On the other side of this, though, a number of
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: those guys we've mentioned, I would think it'd be easier
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: to follow those guys up because you've already had something established.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but man, it could It could just turn around
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: so quickly and then people are on your butt like
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: you wouldn't believe Sure, just like all right, Billy Donovan.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it was necessarily hard to follow
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: up Billy Donovan because nobody really cared about basketball in Florida.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's they like it, but they're They're passion
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: is football at Florida. I think it'll be hard when
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: Kirby Smart leaves Georgia Vince Dooley, I bet was a
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: hard one to follow it.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: I don't Orgia Kirby's leaving. Did you see the video
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: of his son yesterday. No, I did not what happened.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: So he's I think he's gonna be He's a class
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: of twenty thirty, so he would be a freshman this year.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: But he was in their practice facility just throwing darts.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: Oh really, Oh that kid's gonna be really good, all right.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: See that's another question that I would like to ask
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Tubby Smith as well, if we have time. Did it
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: add more pressure to have your son play for you
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: at UK or would you have preferred him play somewhere else?
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Because I bet that's a lot of pressure to Kirby Smart,
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: especially when your son, on top of it all, is
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: the quarterback. I mean, that is the one player in football,
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: am I right that gets the most praise and also
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: at the same time gets the most criticism. Sure, so
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: now that you're adding that, oh my gosh, by the way,
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: I'm the head coach and my son is now the quarterback,
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: is that I can't imagine if maybe one of the
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: Mannings was a head coach and their son was a
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: the quarterback. Do you think that would have been miserable
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: or do you think it must have been really difficult
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: for the coach. Phil Falmer let's let's use Phil Fohmer
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: for an example. Knowing that you are coaching Archie Manning's
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: son and you are under the watchful eye of a
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: former quarterback in the NFL, and now his son is
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: your quarterback. Don't you think that was difficult? Do you
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: think that was fairly easy and it was no big deal.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: I'm sure there's hard moments in each of those scenarios,
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: but it's all about perspective in my opinion, Like, if
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: you go in thinking, well, hey, I get to hang
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: out with my dad or my son every day or
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: whatever the scenario is, then that's the right mindset to have.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: But then, yeah, you're gonna have riffs here and there,
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: and those could be tough to overcome.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: But I don't.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: I think it would be more fun than it would
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: be pressure. I containing my career. I worked for my
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: uncle who was like a dad to me, my uncle
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: Lou Bennett, and I had more fun doing that.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Did I get a lot of criticism, Absolutely, because people thought, oh,
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: you got easy street because your uncle runs the company.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: It's like, dude, it was actually a lot harder than
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: you think. But I wanted to make sure I worked
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: harder than anybody else and was successful at it. So
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: I made it easy because of how hard it was.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: And then I went to work for my dad.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Same thing. People like, well, you work for your dad.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: But it was fun.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: I mean I had more fun with my uncle working
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: for my uncle and my dad at a high level
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: that I wouldn't change it for the world, no matter
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: how much pressure it put on me. I know I
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: put pressure on my dad and my uncle, but it
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: was fun because you worked for your dad for a
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: little bit. Do you think did you enjoy it? There
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: you go, Sometimes it just didn't work out, even though
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: it's hard work. I just it kind of feels easy
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: because you're around people that you love and care about exactly.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: But but you know, sometimes it doesn't work out like
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: that that. Did you ever watch Orange County Choppers and
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: the Tuttles and the dad and the son were constantly fighting.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Stars They're always fighting.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: They are, aren't they. I don't think they were arguing
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: and throwing furniture at each other like they were on
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: Orange County Chopper. I can't believe you didn't watch that show.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: That was actually a really good show, even though I
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: know a lot of.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: It was scripted. I can't believe you did watch it.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: So I'm the same way because I can't stand those
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: reality shows. But I do like Pond Stars because you
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: had the grandfather, the uh, the dad, and the son
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: and but they didn't argue that much, you think, So, okay.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: He was never happy. Yeah he was kind of grouchy,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: wasn't he was? Okay?
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: One person said, the worst thing, uh the world is
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: the worst thing in the world is paper straws. Things
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: never last for a full drink. Okay, I think that
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: is the greatest take ever in the world. I got
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: just thinking of see exactly. Paper straws are the worst.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: Let me just tell you right now, stop making them
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: up because they stick to your lips. Then, you know,
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: once you get a drink for a little while, then
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: they start diluting, and now your paper straw is getting
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: into your drink or into your mouth. Listen, anytime I
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: see a place that has paper straws, I consider not
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: going back because you know, they have those recyclable ones
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: and you can tell the difference. They're a little rougher.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: I'm good with those, and I'm good with plastic. But yeah,
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: it's just paper straws are by far the worst. I
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: like the recyclable ones, plastic ones to go with my
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: styropham cup. What's so bad about? Somebody explained to me,
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: what's wrong with starphone cups? It doesn't is that what
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: it is?
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: It takes it takes like forty years for styrofoam to
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: break down.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Okay, how many forty? Really?
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: That's what That's the number I've always read. By the way,
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: I did have to call out one of my gas
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: stations last week that I frequent, right, it got me
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: a stopped in to give me a soda and went
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: to grab a straw and lo and behold it was
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: a paper straw. And they've always had plastic. So I walked,
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: I walked up to the counter. I didn't even put
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: a lid on my cup. I just took the cup
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: up there without a lid, and I was like, hey, right,
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: you got to get rid of those paper straws.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Next time I went in it was plastic, so.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: Well really, wow, yeah, I was always had plastic, and
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: he I don't know if they just didn't have plastic.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: So he went and got paper ones, but then he
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: went right back to plastic.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: So yeah, okay, good, And to me that indicates more
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: people were complaining than just you.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Probably so because they're horrible. They it's the worst and
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: past ever.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: If you don't like the plastic ones, just get those
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: recyclable ones. You can tell the difference in those, and
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: I like them. I don't have any problem.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: Some people say, well, just get the stainless steel or
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: aluminum straws.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: I'm like, nah, I don't like those.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: And I never know if they're clean or if I'm
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: doing a good job cleaning those things out. I just
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: don't like the reusable stuff. So anyway, all right, let's
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: go ahead and take another break. I'll get back to
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: your text as soon as we get back. Five O

• 34:59
  Speaker 2: uh uh, but yeah, I think that sports.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Kidding. I'm kidding boom roasted.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, thank you. I appreciate that, Michael Scott. Uh
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: but yeah, all right, we can talk sports any time.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: I believe I've already talked about, uh, soccer the most
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: dreaded sport of any of the ones I have to follow.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: But I don't have to follow that one. But wow, Okay.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: One person said you could ask him how special it
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: was to coach his son while he played in college
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: despite the added stress it could bring from time to time.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: I think that's a great question.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: In fact, I wrote that down because I think that
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: had to have been added stress. A lot of the
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: UK fan base really criticized Tubby Smith for saw Smith
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: that was and that was and and did Saul Smith
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: deserve to I think so? But I mean maybe no,
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: you you think not, then is that what you're saying?
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, from my memory of that team in Saul Smith,
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: I don't think he was very good and should have
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: seen the floor, but that was That's just me.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the one part about John cal Perry.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: I always respected that he gave his son a spot
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: on the team, but he never played. Yeah, and whether
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: or not he deserved a spot on the team, I
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: don't know. I mean, maybe he was good enough to
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: be a bench warmer, but he never played. So I
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: respect the fact that Cal didn't do that, uh paper
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: straw suck or actually make it hard to suck because
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: they don't get stay stiff. Well, you can give that
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: straw blue pills what you need to do. So anyway,
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: one person texted, h Ponatowski can make a ton of
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: money in the three years at UK and then can
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: go back to MLB Baseball. That was from the other day. Yeah,
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: and you're absolutely correct. Ask ask what he thinks about
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: coach Pope? He has insight. I put that down. I
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: think that's a great question. And what kind of advice
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: would he give Mark Pope right now? Because you know,
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: first year fantastic, we all had a great time. Everybody
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: was a pro coach Pope. Last year not so much.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, but how difficult is it to coach a
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: team when you have a lot of injuries like Mark
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: Pope sustained last year. What do you do at that point?
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, part of it you can put on Pope.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: Part of it you can't really and I would say
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: a good portion of it you can't put on Mark Pope.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: It was just two years in a row, you lose
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: your point guard. I mean that's just really really bad luck.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, you can't put that on Pope. Hope it
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: turns around this, Yeah, it's you gotta hope a lot
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: more in that than just turning around.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: Wisconsin guy uh said, you should use U Daryl's album
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: for show music tomorrow. Okay, we'll figure it out. Yeah,
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: I listen. Okay, I'm okay with that. I mean, we'll
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: figure it out.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: So uh.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: And and I appreciate that. Wisconsin guy Patrick said, I
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: have this question for Tubby. What made coaching at Kentucky
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: special for you? Another phenomenal question right there. I like that, Patrick,
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: And uhh that that that might show up too, so
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: uh uh anyway, uh, let's go to Uh.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: I can't read that, and thank you for thank you
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: for sending me that. Uh.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: Even when Bear Bryant coached the Wildcats, UK was a
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: basketball school.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Hmmm. That's true.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, as much as I hate I want UK to
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: be in everything school, but you look at Todd Golden
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: and Florida. What would he say, Right now, you look
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: at May, Dusty May, who was at Michigan until what
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: last week week before?
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: What would he say?
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: Because I look at Michigan, I look at Florida and
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: I think I think football. But on the other hand,
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: part of me says, with Michigan, they're a basketball school
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: as well. I mean they had the fab they do
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: have some history up there.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: They're definitely both. They are both.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: Okay, uh, who would be another school out there that
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: particul Because I look at North Carolina basketball, duke basketball.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: I don't look at Tennessee that way. I don't look at.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: Is kind of becoming both Florida. You can say Florida
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: is becoming both. I mean Todd Golden as much as
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: I hate to admit it, all right, so you think
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: Alabama more so, even though Alabama has yet to win
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: a title in in basketball than Florida.
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: I don't think Alabama's there yet, but they're quickly getting
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: there with the success.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: But NATO's is doing an incredible job down there, but
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: he hasn't gone to a title game. Whereas Billy Donovan
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: won two at Florida, you got Todd Goldennetz won one.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: So now Florida has won three titles in basketball, and
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: you're telling me that Alabama's more than Florida.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not. Okay, I thought you.
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: Were, no because I think I mean, I think Florida's
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: way closer to being They probably are both.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I And now you look at Indiana your school
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: or not basketball anymore, but you've won how many titles
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: in basketball?
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: Five? Okay? And you've now won one last ball before
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: born fair? Fair.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: But I mean historically you can look at Alabau and
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: I would have always said, no, no, no, no, that's
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: a basketball school a lot more than football. Football was
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: just irrelevant at Indiana, But now it's it's it is
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: a football school right now, is what you think?
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: I agree?
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, all right, I mean I just until I
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: see some success in basketball, Indiana football is a football school.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, Buzz texted out, we wouldn't have these recycling
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: discussions if we could still burn our trash.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, tell them, Buzz? Is that what it is? Is
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: that what people? Is that what you used to do
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: back in the day.
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: I guess so, I mean I don't know, but uh,
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: I well, you can still burn coal, why can't you
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: burn trash? I mean, there's something I don't understand any
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: of these recycling.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: Burn junk mail? Do you you you burn it? Yeah?
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: You put it in the chimney. Is that what you do?
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: No, we got a little fire pit outside. But OK,
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: really junk mail is great for starting fires.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great idea. I like that idea.
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: Forty eight Handily said, Hey, good to hear from forty
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: eight Handily. I haven't heard from you in a while,
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: so I'm very happy, Thank you very much. The ninety
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: eight team was all Tubby's team. He made all the
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: decisions along the way, and there were plenty to make.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: That team trailed in each of the last three games
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: at halftime to include the final against Utah. The guy
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: that made the adjustments and got them to the wire
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: was one Orlando Tubby Smith.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: Thanks coach. Yeah, great cats.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: I couldn't agree more. That was what was so fun
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: about that team. Hey, ninety eighteen were, wouldn't it. Jim
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: Nanca called them the comeback Cats. I guess I don't
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: remember who it was. I thought it was Jim nance
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: that said that. I mean, I remember that team playing
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: here at one Tropicicana Field in Saint Petersburg, Florida. And
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: here's here's the crazy part. I remember two things about
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: that game. Number one, the toilets were overflowing. That was discussing,
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: So in order to go to the restroom, he had
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: to walk through toilet water. Yes, because the place hadn't
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: been used at all. They had built it years before
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: and it had stayed vacant. I I don't know, it
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: sure sounded like it, and she ere seemed like it.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: And then the other part was my dad famously said
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: when Duke was beating UK and got back up to
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: a big, big lead, and Mike Krzyzewski started slowing down
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: the game, and my dad said, that's the wrong thing
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: to do. And of course, famously, thank goodness, it was
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: the wrong thing to do. And UK came back and
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: beat Duke. I forget was at sixteen or eighteen points.
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: They were down behind. I mean, it was an exuberant amount.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: And here UK came storming back beat Duke. And that
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: was the greatest thing. I love that Wisconsin, and guys
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: said it would be pretty odd now if you don't
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: play Darryl songs.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: Okay, here we.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: Go, all right, fine, we'll play a song, but settle
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: down about it. Okay, I mean, my goodness, we're getting
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: this show is funny. The listeners becoming demanding now about
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: what songs we should hear on the radio. Okay, so yeah,
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: all right, tomorrow, not today, but tomorrow Justin will figure
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: some songs out, okay, because he just can't. All of
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: a sudden they appear and play those songs. But anyway,
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: how much time do we have? We have got about
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: two minutes? No, all right, two minutes. Oh now it's
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: gone to minute and a half.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: I thought it was pretty cool last night that one
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: of the former one of the All Star players that
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: played last night, Tristan Peters. Did you see about him?
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: He plays outfield for Chicago White Song No, Milwaukee.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: I didn't see about it. Oh you didn't see about it? Okay.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: He used to play baseball for the Savannah Bananas. Oh
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: good for him. How do you like that?
• 45:04
  Speaker 8: That?
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: I thought that was was really cool. And he played
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: seventeen Yeah, he plays for the White Sox. Now he
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: was drafted by I think it was Milwaukee. Then he
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: got traded to back in twenty twenty two, and then
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: he spent a couple of months with Milwaukee then got
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: traded to San Francisco, then went to Tampa Bay where
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: he made his major league baseball debut, and then they
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: finally traded him last December to the White Sox and
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: he ends up becoming an All Star outfielder this year.
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: And I just I always wondered what these guys really think.
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: Do they really think they're gonna make major League baseball?
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: Or is this he said? This is the one thing
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: he said about it. He said, the one thing that
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: playing for Savannah Banana did for him reminded him that
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: it's just a game, and it made baseball fun for
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: him again, and that's what it's his success with. I
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: thought that was really cool. I enjoyed reading about him.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: But congratulations Tristan Peters going from Savannah Banana going all
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: the way to the All Star Game. So, okay, we
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: gotta take a break when we come back. Coach Orlando
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: Tubby Smith, that's going to be with us, stay right there.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: This is just the Cats, A.
• 46:18
  Speaker 7: Little bit of money, a little bit of by my side,

  Speaker 2: The sun all night long.
• 46:42
  Speaker 6: Welcome to Just the Cats with Michael Bennett.

  Speaker 2: All right back for our number two as justin takes
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: a couple of minutes to get you Coach Tubby Smith
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: on the line, but we can talk about a couple
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: of other things that is going on. So we learned
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: yesterday why Reed Travis is not going to be playing
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: on the TBT loft Ameilia team. Uh and it's a
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: he suffered at back injury. So that's that's just a
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: big loss for the TBT team. Hopefully we still get
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: the people out there and the fans supporting this team,
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: because it's just it's now I'm getting to a point
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: where I'm starting to worry and what's going to happen here?
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: So I at this point, I don't know how to
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: feel about this team. So anyway, but we'll see how
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: it goes. We'll see if this team can come together.
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's gonna be a big game on Saturday
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: at noon. If you want to go attend, it's the

  Speaker 4: I don't know if you were on a rocket or
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: a spaceship.
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: Where you Well, my wife would like to send me
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: on a rocket in or just.
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: To get rid of them for me send me. But uh, yeah,
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: what's what's going on today?
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: You're in Louisville, right, Yes, sir, I'm in well today,
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: I'm in Saint Petersburg, Florida, but I'll be in Louisville tomorrow.
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: So I'm doing the show remotely today. But uh, but
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: we're Yeah, the show is based in Louisville, Kentucky. So
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: believe it or not, well, you know this. There there
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: are just as many UK fans in Louisville. You always
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: believe that, didn't you when you were head coach at Kentucky.
• 48:54
  Speaker 4: Oh there's always just there's big blue fans everywhere around
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: the world. And I know Rick Bettino used to like
• 49:02
  Speaker 4: being the Yankees, the Bosses, Celtics, you know, the Lakers.
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: You know, it's just so on that level, the Green
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: Bay Packers when you mentioned Kentucky basketball, because you look
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: at the success they've had over the over the century,
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: over the years.
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, and it had to be fun to be the
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: head coach. But before we get into a discussion about
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: you as head coach at Kentucky, can tell us what
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: you've been up to recently since you got out of
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: the coaching game.
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: Well, just living here in North Carolina, high Point where
• 49:41
  Speaker 4: I finished up my career at High Point University, and
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: going to shout out to them because they they've done
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: an excellent job the last two years going to the
• 49:48
  Speaker 4: DCAA and winning and beating Wisconsin last year. Their coach
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: there is and has done an outstanding John Flynn Cleyman.
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: So we were we're living here, but we're all over
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: because we have a grand baby and Saul has a
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: grand child. My last one is only about five or
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: six months old, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Gt says, two grandkids
• 50:13
  Speaker 4: my oldest son and my youngest son, Brian has three.
• 50:19
  Speaker 4: So we stayed there and he lives in Florida, so
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: we stay busy seeing family and grand babies. That's what
• 50:25
  Speaker 4: I'm doing, all right, And.
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: That sounds like the grandfather life, because I know that's
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: one thing I got to believe as far as a
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: head coach. You probably enjoyed that job more than being
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: a head coach at anywhere.
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, it's nothing like grand babies.
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: Let me ask you about this, Outside of winning the
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: title for University Kentucky, what is your favorite memory that
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: you have being the head coach there?
• 50:54
  Speaker 4: Oh, just all the young men, but especially coaching my sons.
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: You know, there's nothing more fun than that. And we
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: had quite a success run there with my with Gigi
• 51:08
  Speaker 4: at Georgia and Saul at Kentucky. Those were the winning
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: this sixty seven years of my career. So I was
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: grateful that that you know, that people accepted you know
• 51:23
  Speaker 4: him and that he was a part of such a
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: so much success that we had at Kentucky. But that
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: but I just again he was one of the players
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: that that that contributed to all the success that we had.
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: And but you asked me what was one of the highlights.
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: That was one of the hoighlights?
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: Well, because one of the listeners texted and what I
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: thought was a great question because he said, how and
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: I think you've answered that. How special was it the
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: coach uh your son while he played in college for you?
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: But but did that add a lot of stress to you?
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: And Saul or more so one person over the other
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: about pretty even or there was no stress.
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: Well, I wouldn't know anything else because this, you know again,
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: I'd coach and my sons, you know, and at Tulsa
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: and Georgia, not at Tulsa but at Georgia. But you
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: know it's going to be stressed no matter what. Whenever
• 52:17
  Speaker 4: you have a family member or someone close to you.
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: You know that you love and I love and to
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: care for all of our players. But it's it was
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: more stressful product on his mom than it was on me,
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: because you know, he was doing everything I asked him
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: to do any more. So, Uh, it was a delusion
• 52:36
  Speaker 4: for me at all.
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: Well, winning the title in year one in nineteen ninety eight,
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: did you have any idea you didn't you'd inherit a
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: team that talented or did it feel like pressure from
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: day one? Following one of your former bosses, Rick Fatita, Well,
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: there's no.
• 52:57
  Speaker 4: And when I when i'm I don't mean this, you know,
• 53:00
  Speaker 4: to diminish the us because there's always pressure, whether you're
• 53:07
  Speaker 4: at high Point, Georgia, Tulsa, Kentucky, because the coach is
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: there to lead and then win basketball games and develop
• 53:19
  Speaker 4: young people so they can be productive, you know, tax
• 53:25
  Speaker 4: paying citizens. Some day it's a kid. So now that
• 53:31
  Speaker 4: I'm in this position that they're still paying theirself security
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: and their tax but uh so, so go ahead, I'm saying.
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: It was just it was just we got off the subject.
• 53:46
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, what were you going to say?
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: Well, let's well, I mean, was there added pressure that
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: you know from day one that you following to pay.
• 53:57
  Speaker 4: My taxes than anything?
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: So?
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: Uh so that was that's what I was comment about. No,
• 54:07
  Speaker 4: you know, I grew up in a household with sixteen
• 54:09
  Speaker 4: other siblings, so you know, you knew about sharing and
• 54:12
  Speaker 4: caring and sacrifice. Yes, so, so those were the attributes
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: and that we the values that we tried to instill
• 54:20
  Speaker 4: in our players that were instilled in me by my
• 54:23
  Speaker 4: parents when I was growing up. And uh so it's
• 54:27
  Speaker 4: a you know, we've been I was very blessed and
• 54:31
  Speaker 4: gifted to be able to lead and coach and get
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: a great opportunity. See I'm Newton. I'm a great mentor
• 54:41
  Speaker 4: a great you know advisor to me even before I
• 54:45
  Speaker 4: became the head coach at Kentucky. So those things were
• 54:48
  Speaker 4: precious to me. Just the people that were in my
• 54:50
  Speaker 4: life and then who had a major impact and maybe
• 54:53
  Speaker 4: an influence on me.
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: Uh, is there one particular situ or one particular game
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: that you wish you could go back and change outside
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: of winning the game, but is there one particular thing
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: you wish you could go back at Kentucky and say, Man,
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: I wish I'd done this differently?
• 55:14
  Speaker 4: Oh, there's always there's there always games that you replay
• 55:20
  Speaker 4: and you say I would have done this differently. Yes,
• 55:22
  Speaker 4: there there are quite a few. I would imagine the
• 55:25
  Speaker 4: last game, you know, I I don't know that I
• 55:29
  Speaker 4: would have done anything different, but I wish they hadn't
• 55:31
  Speaker 4: made a call in the last game that I actually
• 55:34
  Speaker 4: coached in the SEC tournament and were lost to Mississippi
• 55:38
  Speaker 4: State on overtime. But that was you a call. And
• 55:42
  Speaker 4: you know, Jody Meek's on the line shooting two shooting
• 55:45
  Speaker 4: free throws and they take the ball out of his
• 55:47
  Speaker 4: hand because of the lane violations something something stupid like
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: that that costs us in hither and the guy hits
• 55:54
  Speaker 4: a three pointers to tie it up and we're losing overtime.
• 55:57
  Speaker 4: Both kinds of games. But there are other games. Obviously
• 56:02
  Speaker 4: the Louisville Kentucky game is always an intense rivalry. And
• 56:09
  Speaker 4: and I remember mister Kitele, he would always be his
• 56:11
  Speaker 4: whole personality would change that week of that We're playing
• 56:14
  Speaker 4: in Louisville. So right, because I learned how important that
• 56:18
  Speaker 4: game was to do everyone in the do all Wildcats
• 56:22
  Speaker 4: fans as well?
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: Well?
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, coming coming outside of the state and taking
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: over at University of Kentucky after Rick Patino. I mean,
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: did you did you feel the pressure immediately or uh
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: just or did you like, Man, I've I've made it
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: now here.
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: I am the head coach.
• 56:43
  Speaker 4: You're always a little cautious and fearful that you know,
• 56:49
  Speaker 4: how do you how do you follow a legend? You know?
• 56:51
  Speaker 4: And Rick, you know, had taken them back to back
• 56:54
  Speaker 4: final fours one one in ninety six and lost in
• 56:57
  Speaker 4: the championship game to Arizona. So I'm going, ooh, man,
• 57:02
  Speaker 4: this is uh now, we know we had done some
• 57:06
  Speaker 4: good things at Georgia and and we were we were
• 57:09
  Speaker 4: well prepared absolutely because I've been I've been in Kentucky before,
• 57:13
  Speaker 4: so I knew the intensity, you know, the following and
• 57:19
  Speaker 4: and the support that uh and the winning tradition at Kentucky,
• 57:24
  Speaker 4: So that was I was not new so I knew
• 57:28
  Speaker 4: what I was I was getting into, but I knew
• 57:29
  Speaker 4: I had I was standing assistant coaches. I surrounded myself
• 57:34
  Speaker 4: with the right people. I had a great advisor in C. M.
• 57:40
  Speaker 4: Newton who uh and Martin mcmack and people that were
• 57:45
  Speaker 4: already there in the program who gave me a lot
• 57:48
  Speaker 4: of guidance. She was my administrative assistant and I appreciate
• 57:52
  Speaker 4: you know people like that who you know. And then
• 57:54
  Speaker 4: a mister Kiteley who embraced me and who had men
• 57:58
  Speaker 4: I had known him before, so it wasn't very stressful
• 58:03
  Speaker 4: other than how do you replace the legend and what
• 58:08
  Speaker 4: do you do? And then bringing my son there too,
• 58:10
  Speaker 4: that was oh Saul coming with me, and even Gigi
• 58:14
  Speaker 4: leaving him behind that was probably more stressful than anything
• 58:17
  Speaker 4: leaves him at Georgia.
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: Right, because one particular game that that I was in
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: attendance for that I I really enjoyed. I'd just like
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: to know what was going through your mind during the
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: Duke game when you got down to that duke team
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: in ninety eight by double.
• 58:38
  Speaker 4: Digits, seventeen pointsman nine thirty to go.
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: I think remembers all the members there.
• 58:46
  Speaker 4: You know, what I remember is my staff, how how
• 58:51
  Speaker 4: especially Mike Sutton, George Felt and Sean and you know,
• 58:54
  Speaker 4: they were very observant. You know, they outstanding coaches in
• 58:59
  Speaker 4: their own right, and Ben became head coaches at other places.
• 59:03
  Speaker 4: But you know, I was, you know, we were trying
• 59:06
  Speaker 4: to come back and and they advised me. I went
• 59:09
  Speaker 4: to call a time out because I thought we were
• 59:11
  Speaker 4: being fatigued, we were getting tired trying to fight back,
• 59:16
  Speaker 4: and uh, they said, no, don't call the time But
• 59:18
  Speaker 4: the biggest thing was was the players and how they
• 59:26
  Speaker 4: accepted that challenge being behind uh, especially Turner, Wayne the Burner. Turner,
• 59:34
  Speaker 4: he said, coach, you know, we were running plays and stuff.
• 59:37
  Speaker 4: He said, coach, I can take him. What are you
• 59:40
  Speaker 4: talking about, man, he said, let me just you know,
• 59:43
  Speaker 4: And so we set a high pick and roll. They
• 59:46
  Speaker 4: were with him and I think the Scott's pages on
• 59:48
  Speaker 4: Nazi Muhammed and and he was went to the basket
• 59:52
  Speaker 4: and went by I think was Steve Wojahouski at the time,
• 59:55
  Speaker 4: and and he just took over the games doing you know,
• 59:59
  Speaker 4: throwing out assists and getting all the way to the
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 4: rim and that, and then we didn't call the time out.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 4: That's what I was getting to about my staff. They
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 4: stopped me. I was gonna call a time of snow. Coach,
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 4: don't call any more timeouts. Don't call another time out.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 4: They don't have anymore. They were out of timehouse with
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 4: about nine eight minutes going a game. So that was
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 4: that was very beneficial to us.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: Let's see, I was telling the listeners a little earlier
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: that my dad famously said, when Mike Skizhevski started slowing
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: the game down, that was the wrong move. Did you
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: think the same thing. It's like, oh my goodness, he's
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: trying to milk the clock.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, at the time, we were just fighting
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 4: to come back. I didn't care what they were doing
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 4: so much as what we needed to do to get
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 4: back in the game and repressing trapping force in turnovers,
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 4: making them play faster. You know, when you're behind, that's
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 4: what you have to do. You have to you have
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 4: to generate more possessions and then you have to score quicker.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 4: So then we had an excellent point guard, and that's
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 4: some shooters and Jeff Sheppard, Campbell Mills and Allen Everards.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 4: You know, so we got. You know, we had a
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 4: solid team that had come from behind fourteen times, I
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 4: mean a number of times that season. That's why they
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 4: were double to come back cast because not only did
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 4: we just come back at that time, but we came
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 4: back multiple times throughout the season to win games.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: Well, congratulations to being named on the Hall of Fame.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: How did this come about? How are you notified? Un Man?
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 4: I just I guess somebody so I wanted, you know,

• 1:03:43
  Speaker 4: the dreams that that have that Kentucky has and have

  Speaker 4: had over the years. You know, you've just got to,
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 4: you know, continue to reach out to them and understand
• 1:03:57

• 1:04:04
  Speaker 4: and and you've got to make it a better place
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 4: because you were there. And that's what I felt like
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 4: we did, whether it was by yes you did, not
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 4: just coaching the basketball team, but but then being involved
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 4: in the community, whether it was charitable organizations, fundraising, whatever
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 4: we could do to make Lexington and Kentucky a better
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 4: place we tried to do.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: Is that one of those things you're so glad you
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: had a basketball with n I L and the way
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: recruiting is today, and you're you don't miss that aspect
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: of it, and you're so thankful you coached at the
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: time that you did.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 4: Yes, you know, I'm at peace with what we achieved
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 4: and what we did. But I obviously there are a
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 4: lot of young coaches that uh and then it didn't
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 4: end the way I expected, and it'll be coming back
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 4: to high point. We expected to do what they're doing now.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 4: But the very first year I came here was the
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 4: first year that the transfer came in, and so we
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 4: went fifty sixteen games and have a winning season in
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 4: sixteen seventeen games. In the next year, in that spring,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 4: three players league. Two of them are going to be
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 4: fifty your players, you see them mean, so that all
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 4: of a sudden. Then the next year after you get
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 4: a bunch of freshmen and for the following year the
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 4: uh COVID hits.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 4: So now freshman you know, now you don't even have
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 4: summer school now, so now you're behind the eight ball
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 4: with freshmen there, they're almost a year behind in development.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 4: So you play a bunch of freshmen. I think I
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 4: started four or five and now you now you have
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 4: a losing season. Oh my, and the next year you
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 4: have the nil comes about. Yes, So three years in
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 4: a row. So now in IL paying players, So you know,
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 4: high point is high point. We weren't going to be
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 4: We didn't have money really groading paper players at that time,
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 4: so uh and being a mid age the way they were.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 4: So those were and so I didn't end well, and
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 4: my son took over and it didn't go well for him.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 4: He hasn't, so you know, you kind of leave with that, uh,
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 4: just a little bitter taste. But but God has been
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 4: good and basketball has been good to my family, and
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 4: I am so, uh you know, and the success is
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 4: just having a peace of mind that you.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, if there was any.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 4: Satisfaction knowing that you gave the best effort, and that's
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 4: what you know, John, what you said, as long as
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 4: you give your best effort, that's all you can.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: Actually, if there was any advice, you know, Mark Pope
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: had had a really good season his first year at
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: the UK. Then the second year, uh not not as
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: great as much as that team was high, but you know,
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: a lot of it had to deal with overcoming injury.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: What kind of advice would you give Mark Pope going
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: into years three?
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 4: I don't know if I'd give him any advice. I mean,
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 4: you just have to be you have to accept the
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 4: fact that this is what happened. And because he's an
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 4: outstanding coach, and I was so impressed with what they
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 4: did last year with the injuries, I mean, and all
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 4: the other distractions that you can have, but the injuries,
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 4: especially in this day and time and at that level,
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 4: really it's tough. I mean, it's uh so I was again,
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 4: I know his team and I know his his staff,
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 4: and I know Mark Pope will have them ready to play.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 4: I've you know, I've been over to my watching workouts
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 4: some not lately but back in the spring. So I
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 4: know he's excited about this group, and so should all
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 4: Wildcat fans. I mean, you go to n C Double
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 4: A and win a game. He's won a game in
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 4: n C Double A every year and so pretty pretty good.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: Exactly, Well, we have a little bit of a higher standard.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, wasn't there a former coach that called Big
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: Blue Nation, We're we're a bunch of crazy fans, but
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: uh but uh, we we want to win every game, coach,
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: And I think you experienced that as well.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: First and and.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 2: I gotta imagine that when you left the University of
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: Kentucky that there had to be a sense of relief too.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, you did all you could, but man, it
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: just had to get to a point where's like, okay,
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: I've been there, done that. I feel proud of myself
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: and relieved that that that part of my life might
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: be over.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 4: Well it was, it was. You know, transition takes place.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 4: Everything there is, yes, administration change over and you president
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 4: ad you know, so all those things come into play,
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 4: and so you have to be you know, hopefully you
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 4: can read the tea leaves and see what's coming next. Uh.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 4: And even though I'm not sure, I think we won
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 4: twenty four games at last year we lost to Kansas,
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 4: to somebody in the n C Double A tournament Kansas,
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 4: So it wasn't like we had a I don't think
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 4: we had. We won a game in n C Double
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 4: A every year, so we went to the n C
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 4: Double A fortens. So you know, I was, I was,
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 4: I was. I was proud of what we achieved. And
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 4: you know, but Minnesota made a good offer and so
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 4: were we appreciated them and all the other wonderful institutions
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 4: we had and the good, outstanding players who had a
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 4: chance to coach. So no, I don't. I don't have
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 4: any regrets, you honest, we did. I am, and I'm
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 4: happy that that. You know, my career is uh one
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 4: of my one of the things I used to tell
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 4: the players, all you got to do is last. This
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 4: longevity is important, fellows. So absolutely, you know, still you
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 4: gotta stand, you got to stand for something, you gotta oh,
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 4: and that's what we've tried to do over the years.

  Speaker 2: Let me Yes, songs you're playing today are kind of wedding,
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: aren't they. I mean, these are the songs that get
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: all the people at a wedding party up to dance.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: Because there's nothing happy about going to a wedding at all.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't like going to weddings when I
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: get an invitations like crap.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 3: I'm really glad you picked up on what I was doing.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 3: So I'm I'm very tired today. I stayed up and
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 3: watched the entire All Star Game. For whatever reason, I'm
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 3: dragging today, so I needed songs that were a little
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 3: more upbeat, make me move in my seat. Okay, good,
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 3: I get it for me than anybody.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: Uh, And I thought that was fun. I could have
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: had I could have had to coach Smith on for
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: an entire two hours.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: I have one ques. I got a follow up question.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 3: All right, I don't know if my headphones went out,
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 3: if I heard it wrong or what. But he said
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 3: it on two different occasions. Did he say sixteen siblings?
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: No?
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: Six? Okay? Is it sixteen? In my base?
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 3: Say sixteen twice? And that's if that's the case, that
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 3: is an insane amount of kids.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: Now I'm curious. I thought, I think you're right.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: I think it is sixteen siblings, And yeah, sixteen siblings.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: You're right.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: It's a It is crazy because my dad was one
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: of twelve, and he was one of seventeen.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's not rouse used to have this drop
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 3: this this promo on this station talking about how parents are,
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 3: how women that are that have that many kids are
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 3: pregnant or breastfeeding for such amount of long time. So
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 3: that means his mom was pregnant or breastfeeding for thirty
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 3: four years.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: Well, all right, so my cousin, my cousin from Nashville
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: is visiting right now. We were having dinner last night
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: and she was talking about how one of our cousins
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: is older than one of our aunts and one of
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: our uncles.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: How do you that's crazy? That is so?
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's two of them. Two of our
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: cousins are older than a couple of our aunts and uncles.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: And I thought that was wild. Can you imagine one
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: of your kids at pregnant the same time as you are.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: It's like, well, it never happened with me, but if
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: my wife was, I mean that's just wild. I mean,
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: so the same thing had to have happened with Tubby
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: and one of his relatives, our brothers or siblings and
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: one of his and his mom.
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, if he's got that many crazy, and
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: he's got that.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 3: Many grandkids from three kids, how many nephews and nieces?
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: Does this.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: When we uh, listen when we would have when the
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: Bennett clan would have a family where you we had
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: to wear name tags because we didn't know who everybody was.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: Now my dad did. My dad knew everybody there, and
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: so did my aunts and nuncles. I didn't know who
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: they were. But yeah, it's just it's it's wild Wisconsin.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: Guy said, Tubby, Tubby, Tubby, Big Blue Nation loves you,
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: congratulations and thanks for everything.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: I think it was supposed to be Tubby tub.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: Uh and then says, was that Daryl rapping right there?
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: I don't get the reference to.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: You, the Daryl thing?
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: Is that what?
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: Scoots isn't going to play Darryl's songs tomorrow? He's already
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: pretending to forget. I got I got it, Okay, you
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: got it? Okay, all right. The Savannah bananas are a
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: sye pop. I don't know what that means on either,
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: but uh syo, I don't know what a syop is.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: Let's see here.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: Uh Buzz texted out, I loved Coach Smith's comments about
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: Bill Kitely.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: I did too.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: I mean it seems like every coach that experienced Bill
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 2: Kitely back in the day.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: Uh Coach hall Rick Patino.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: Eddie Sutton was the same Waybby Smith. He was a
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: head trainer, so equipment manager that kind of stuff. So
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: uh uh and and uh, I mean just really regarded
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: as as as the.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: Guy at UK for the basketball team.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, Rick Patino loved him, so he was like
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: Bobby Smith loved him.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: So he was like Louisville's Kenny Kline.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, Kenny Klein. Yes, he was sports
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: information director for you of.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: Around Louisville, right, yeah, well.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: That's fair to say, uh yeah, because equipment manager is
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: a little different role from the uh sports information director.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: I mean the sports information director at UK that is
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: ahead of all of it is Tony Neely, great guy,
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: very nice guy. I've always liked Tony Neely. But uh
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: but no, it's a little different. So but anyway, Wisconsin
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: guy said you might want to learn what a syop is.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know what a syop isn't literally never heard
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: of that it's a psychological operation. Uh then yeah, I
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: would say, yeah, I would say that's the bananas. I
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: could agree with that. One person texted and love Tubby,
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: but this photo disturbed me. And oh it shows him
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: showing in l Okay, I get yeah, but he's I
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: think it's for something else, so I don't think it
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: stood for U of L. But anyway, local John said,
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: John here, great interview, Michael. You can tell coach Smith
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: cherished every moment in his coaching career. He has great
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: recall about his memories. I could listen to him a
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: lot more so, could I. I mean I really could.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: His memory was especially when I talked about the Duke
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: Gate and he knew how many points. I think he
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: said seventeen minutes and nine minutes. I don't remember how
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: many seconds, but he knew it. I mean right there,
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: as soon as I said it, he were seventeen points
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: down with nine minutes two seconds left.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: He's like, oh my gosh.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: And I reverted back to my interview with Rich Brooks,
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: who would just give me death stares if I asked
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 2: something he didn't like, and he would remember, recall everything,
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: and then when we would be off the air, he
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: would recall everything about that game. I truly believe most
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: coaches that were in games like that have burned in
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: their memory, and I think this is true for Tubby Smith.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: The good and the bad about when a particular game happened,
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: how much time was left, how much they were down by.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: I was going to ask him about that two thousand
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: and two double overtime against Michigan State, and I thought, no,
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to bring that up, because that was
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: a heartbreaking loss. But I thought, no, don't bring that up.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: Let's let's keep it lighthearted. Let's talk about the good
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: times at UK and so I and then part of
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: me wanted to ask what did he think about the
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: hire of Billy Gillispie taking the plate? I thought, no,
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: I better not bring that. I better not bring that up.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: Oh so I would have if you hit him with that,
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: And I didn't know exactly, And I thought, no, no, no, no, Listen.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: You know, sometimes I gotta tone down the Michael Bennett, okay,
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: because the real Michael Bennett would ask some of the
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: most ridiculous questions out there. And I think that was
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: one of the real Michael Bennett questions. Is like, I mean,
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: we can't ask that. There were a couple others I'm
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: not gonna mention, but I wanted to mention that one.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: I thought you would enjoy that one. So uh, anyway,
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: all right, we gotta take our last break today five
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: O two three four fourteen fifty.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: You want to call five O two four one four
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: fourteen fifty.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: If you want to text in on the Whiskey Thief
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: text liner, you tweet me just caat radio. It was
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: a fun interview. I mean, I'm going to tell you
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: right now, I hope he comes on again. But I
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: thoroughly enjoy that because there are a lot more questions.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: I kind of get the feeling he really needed to go,
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: and I just I didn't want to keep I had
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 2: him on for thirty minutes. I mean that's a that's
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: pretty significant right there. So anyway, but thank you Coach

  Speaker 2: Rodriguez along with the UK's will be on that Monday.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 2: There'll be Missouri, Oklahoma and University of Tennessee. They yeah,
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: they go on Monday. Don't know what the order is
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: going to be as of yet, which school is going first,
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 2: which school is going last? But I think it was
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 2: Thursday last year. You're exactly correct. And uh, but I
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 2: love that it's in Tampa. I won't be there, but
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 2: the only time it's going to be in an area
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: that I'm close to. A Lot of the time I'm
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: not even there, so I'll be up in Louisville. But
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 2: I've always wanted to go to media days one time
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: for football. I've gone to it for basketball and basketball.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 2: Media day for the SEC is completely different than for football.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: They put more emphasis on football.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 2: It's like, Okay, you're trying to become an all conference,
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: all Sports conference, and yet football is the biggest one
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 2: you do. It's like, come on, man, you got to
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 2: change that up. So I don't know, thank you the
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 2: biggest one, you think, so baseball should be the biggest,
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 2: by the way, that's the most successful.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 3: Did you see the transfer portal rankings for baseball, not
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 3: for baseball?
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 2: No?
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 3: Why so Kentucky is number ten in the nation in
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 3: transfer portal ranking. Yes, but they are number nine in
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 3: the SEC. Isn't that crazy? Miami is the only non
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 3: SEC team in the top two? Are you kidding me?
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 2: Wow? Well, you know the reason that most northern teams
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: don't do well in baseball because it's cold weather. Nobody
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: wants to play baseball and cold weather. I mean, I
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 2: remember the day he's hitting a baseball the wrong way
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 2: on a bat and your your hands are so cold
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 2: they're vibrating off of hitting a foul ball or something like.
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 2: It was miserable. So that's why Kentucky's probably the most
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: northern school that's successful. Between that, maybe Virginia, but there's
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 2: no other school that are really that great a baseball
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 2: north of that is there? Louisville used to be well,
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: but I mean north of the state of Kentucky is
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying. I did not say Lexington. You said
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 2: Kentucky is the I said Kentucky, Oh, northernmost stay Okay, sorry, yes,
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 2: that's me. That's my bad.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: Gosh, all right, all right, let's talk about this.
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: You you know you were talking about recruiting class or
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 2: or transfer class. UK Football's twenty twenty seven recruiting class,
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 2: according to rivals uh sits just outside the top twenty
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 2: at number twenty two.
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: Of course, you know, are you ready for this?
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 2: Where they said they sit at number nine in the
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 2: seczy It is crazy. I mean, it's just uh in
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 2: course Stein. So far, will Stein has UH seven four
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 2: star recruits, nine top five hundred prospects in the class.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: And the only ones that have more than that are
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma with twenty seven total recruits, Texas A and Him
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 2: has twenty six. Florida and auburner sit with twenty six
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 2: recruits as well, and then UK has twenty five. So
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's just crazy.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: That feels like a lot of recruits.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 2: It does, but they say before December UK could get
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: some more, although Dan and if they do, they'll be
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: up there.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: Didn't they just increase the roster sizes or they made
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: him smaller. They made him smaller, yeah, twenty six or
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: twenty five se Yeah, like a lot.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: It does, without a doubt. I do want to talk
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 2: about this before we have to go today. I want
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 2: to talk about it yesterday, but we didn't have time.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: I Lamar Jackson. Have you seen this where his peers
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 2: have ranked him in the NFL. Last year, he was
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 2: ranked the number two NFL player in all of NFL.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: This year, did you see what his peers have ranked
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 2: him in the NFL sixty nine?
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 6: Whoa?
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 2: He has fallen from number two to sixty nine. I uh,
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 2: I still think that's too high. No, stop it, I know,
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 2: I just I was surprised by this. You got to explain.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 2: Is it because of recency as far as injury or
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 2: the fact that he's really what I know, he's been
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 2: named MVP. To me, what matters more is how is
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 2: your team done? He's never gotten further the Ravens further
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 2: than what in the playoffs? Great question, divisional round, the
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 2: semi finals. I mean, they've never been to the super Bowl. See,
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 2: I don't think so either. So I look at this
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 2: and I think, Okay, how can he be ranked as
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 2: one of the top players in the NFL. When your
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 2: team does isn't hasn't been successful enough to get at
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 2: least to a division final or an AFC final.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it really, it's been disappointing with them
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 3: having Derrick Henry. I thought when Derrick Henry went to Baltimore,
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 3: they were gonna be they were gonna be something special.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 3: But what you know what they say about Lamar, he
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 3: just can't win the big one, don't. I don't know
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 3: what you want from him.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 2: I did enjoy this, and I hate and I'm gonna
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: admit something that I'm really it's I'm really struggling with
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 2: Dan Hurley did a an interview.
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: With one of the what's that and.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 2: Let me finish first, But he did an interview It's
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 2: called Sunday Conversation. Have you seen this with Caleb Presley
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 2: And it's spelled Sunday like the ice cream s U
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 2: N Dae. It was fascinating interview and yes, I got
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 2: to a point where, Okay, I've got to listen to
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 2: this because, uh, he admitted that he loves to yet
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: at fans more than he loves to yell at refs.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, Okay, now you got me. I think
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: this is interesting. He said.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 2: He loves to especially yell at the ones that never
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 2: looked like they played a sport, their.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: Elderly or are ones that are grossly out of shape.
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: They scream at me like they want to fight, but
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 2: they look like they're in no condition to fight. Uh.
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 2: This This was an episode of a podcast called Sunday
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 2: Conversation and it's with Caleb Presley. And I thought the
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 2: other part was that was hilarious. Is that Caleb Presley,
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: who's a part of the barstool guys. He went to
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 2: a game at Connecticut a few years back and was
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 2: going to rush the court and they arrested him for trespassing.
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 2: It happened to be at a ucon game and and
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 2: and uh Dan Hurley when when they started talking about this,
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 2: he goes, yeah, I was arrested there, and Hurley started
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 2: dying laughing. He goes, I reader, remember this. I got
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 2: to a point that, for the first time ever, I
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 2: actually like Dan Hurley. This was a fun interview to
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 2: listen to. If you haven't listened to it yet, go
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you right now. I'm promoting this Sunday conversation
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 2: was up off the court, Dan Hurley, I'm sure there's
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 2: a lot different than on the court exactly. Yeah, because
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 2: on the court he comes across as a real jerk.
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 2: But man, I listened to this. I loved every second
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 2: of it. I mean it was a phenomenal interview. And
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 2: the Caleb Presley comes across says, well, you know a
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 2: lot of people think about Yukon basketball, they're thinking about women.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 2: Hurley starts dying laughing. Caleb Presley goes, I wasn't trying
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 2: to be funny. It just made it even funnier. And
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 2: Hurley says he starts laughing, and Presley tells him that,
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 2: and Hurley quickly says, I've heard that before, that they
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 2: think about women's basketball more than that. It was a
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 2: great interview and I highly suggest you go listen to
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 2: that right there. But anyway, did you have something you
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 2: wanted to say?
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, please go check that out. Great, great, great,
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: great interview.
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 2: Uh. And then the other thing I want to talk about,
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 2: uh the door desh driver. Did you see the video
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 2: that came from Houston where a lady was trying to
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 2: make a delivery to a home with her food with
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 2: the food as a door desh delivery person, and a
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 2: car came that was being chased by the police came
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 2: and literally physically hit her. She falls to the ground.
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 2: The guy gets out of the car that was being
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 2: chased by the police runs off. She gets up, goes
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 2: and gets the bag of food and continues to make
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 2: the delivery.
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: That way.
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 2: You didn't see that, no, I mean that's gone. I
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 2: thought that was awesome too. It's like, oh my gosh,
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 2: the delivery. Yeah, but she just got hit by a car.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 2: She has a pretty good reason the delivery.
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 1: We can worry about that after you make the delivery.
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 2: Wow, okay, you're you're you are hardcore on that one.
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying the door dash for hardcore. They don't
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 2: want to destroy their score.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: Is that what it's all?
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 2: So even though she got well, she had the presence
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 2: of mind to say, okay, well I still got to
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 2: make my delivery. Even though I was hit by a
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: car and there's a guy that jumps out and starts
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 2: running off, and there's the police. I listen, I think
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 2: I would still be running laying on the ground. I
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 2: don't think I would have gotten up and had the
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 2: mind to think Okay, I still got to deliver this food.
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 3: I think I probably would have walked up to the door,
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 3: delivered the food, and then asked the person, Hey, you
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 3: want to sit out on your porch and watch his
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 3: police jays.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 2: Well that's fair enough. Okay, Well I just okay, I
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 2: guess so, uh, you watched the All Star Game last night.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 2: It was a boring game.
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 3: But yes, I watched the entire thing. Despite them scoring
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 3: three the first ding, I decided, you know what, I'm
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 3: gonna stay up what see what this game brings. Ended
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 3: up watching the whole thing and saw one more run.
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 2: It sucked first shutout for American League in thirteen years.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 2: They American League wins for nothing. I mean, it was
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 2: just a pitching duels. All that was the only excitement
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: of the game. Which was scary, especially for my team,
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 2: was when the Raiz All Star outfielder Junior common Aro
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 2: got hit by the pitch by that Saint Louis pitch.
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: I don't remember the Saint Louis pitcher, but man, a
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 2: lot of people were criticizing the Cardinals pitcher and it's like, well,
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 2: wait a minute, now, he wasn't intentionally trying to hit
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: him and all, this is a meaningless game that nobody's
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 2: trying to There's no Vendetta out there, there's nothing going on.
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 2: Do you I miss the days when they this game
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 2: used to mean something to where whoever won would get
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 2: to the home field advantage for the World Series. Do
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 2: you think it should revert back to that.
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, something needs to happen. I don't know if
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 3: that's the most fair way to determine home field advantage
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 3: in the World Series, but imagine it was still like
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 3: that for especially with the American League getting the win.
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 3: That is a huge advantage when you think about who
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 3: you're probably gonna be facing in the World Series in
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 3: the Los Angeles Dodger. So yeah, yeah, I don't I
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 3: don't know. They've they've got to find a way to
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 3: make this game mean something or nobody's gonna.
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: Appen something exactly.
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, I thought they did a nice job celebrating
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 2: the two hundred and fifty year anniversary of.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: The United States.
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: I thought that was I thought it was well supported
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 2: by the Philadelphia Philly fans.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: I thought that was a nice job. The broadcast was fine.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 2: But anyway, before we go, let me h buzz texted
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 2: out the Ravens will always have postseason issues because they
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 2: got worn out during the regular season.
