  Speaker 1: Welcome to Just the Cats with Michael Bennett.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Hello, Big Blue Nation, Welcome to Just the Cats. My
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: name is Michael Bennett on this Tuesday, April twenty first,
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: oh boy. If you want to give us a call,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: you can do it at five two three eight four
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: fourteen fifty. If you want to text me on the
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: withkey text line, which has been fairly lively this morning already,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: favo two four one four fourteen fifty. If you want
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: to tweet me at Just the Cat Radio, you can
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: do that as well. But uh, yep, uh where do
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: you start? I honestly, oh, I guess I start right here.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Good morning, justin, good morning. How are you doing this morning?
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Justin seemingly better than you really? No, no, no, don't
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: say that now. Already a couple of early huffs and puffs. Today,
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Today's the greatest day of my life. That's the that's
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: the aspiration that I have, that is the outlook that
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: I have. That is what I want to feel like. Okay,
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: because my dad woke up every day of my life,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: what the exception when my mom passed away saying that's
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: the greatest day of my life, Michael, and you need
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: to make it the same way, and I'm right there
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: with them. Today's today, the Lord has made let us rejoice.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: I like that. That's a fantastic song right there by
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: the way. I'm terrible at singing it. Okay, I'm not
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: going to, but I listen. I man, it's all right.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I know everybody's talking about this, and it's I'm going
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: to go against one of the things I hate doing.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: I love talking about nonsensical things to start the show.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: I just do. I'm not going to today because I
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: feel like people want a voice today. And here's here's
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: what I say. Because I see people that don't have
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: nothing to do with u K getting themselves involved. It's like, ah,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: I can't even get Freeman. Ah, you didn't even know
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: who he was last week. Ah. Well, here's the problem.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: It's not that Freeman would have been a good or
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: bad fit. It's not that Freeman would have been a
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: lot of money or not a lot of money. Here's
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: the problem. It's that it's that he was a player
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: that Mark Pope and staff took a long time trying
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: to get a hold of him, took a long time
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: of trying to recruit him, took a long time trying
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: to get him to commit to the University of Kentucky.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: That's the issue I have. And whether or not it's money,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: whether or not it's that you know, one person's out
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: with a few people are out there saying, well, he
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: wanted a coach that would really coach him to the
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: next level ball, that's not it. Here's the issue I have,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: justin and you feel free to interrupt me anytime you want.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: But here's the issue that I have, Michael T. Bennett,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: is the fact that Mark Pope has taken forever to
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: get a stinking GM to come take a job, and
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: now you kind of have one out of Keegan Brown.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: But is he the GM or is he not? Why
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: can't Why are we letting the former athletic director, Well
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: he's not former yet, but he's getting ready to be.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: First of all, I'm not forgetting about this nine hundred
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: and thousand dollars that Mitch barn is getting, and I
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: don't want anybody else out there to forget that. It's
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: not deserved. It needs to go away. But you know,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Mitch Barnhart made the comments, we don't need whatever that is.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: It's like, this is a prime example as to why
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: a university needs a general manager today. Okay, college athletics
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: has become professional sports, so in order for it to
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: be successful, you have to run it like a professional team.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: And the fact that UK has a quasi general manager,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: it's not working and UK needs a general manager because
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Mark Pope can't do all this on his own. I
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: don't know whether to blame Mark Pope. I don't know
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: whether to blame Mitch Barnhardt. I don't know whether to
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: blame the entire university. But I'm gonna tell you what.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna blame everybody. And I didn't mean to get
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: on this. I got fired up when I saw all
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: this happening last night. It's like, oh my gosh, what's
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: going on. I don't think it's that big of a loss,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: But the loss is he spent Mark Pope spent a
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: lot of time trying to get this kid to come
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: only to have his former coach, which is interesting. I
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: wonder how Mark Pope's feeling about Rick Petina today. His
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: former coach come in there and sweep him out of
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: there in just a matter of days. That's embarrassing, it is.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: But I mean, at the same time, and you mentioned
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: the time aspect of it. But that has also worked
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: out for Mark Pope as well. I mean, look at
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: how much time they poured into Zoom Diallo and then
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: he ends up committing. So it's not it's not like
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: it's going long every time and never working out. It
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: does kind of feel like that, though, right, because every
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: target that you've gone after seemingly has decided to go elsewhere,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: and that's every one of them. That's part of the
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: larger issue to me.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: And then guess what if we're losing it because of
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: a player named Donnie Freeman who he didn't know who
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: he was just a few days ago. What's gonna happen
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: when Mark Pope does not get Tyrant Stokes, which it's
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: really heavily trending. He's going to Kansas. Why it's taking
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: so long, I don't know. It's inexcusable. I just just
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: named the It's almost like he's toying with schools at
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: this point. Oh yeah, I mean why wouldn't everybody Again,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: everybody's talking about it. Yeah, okay, Well, it's just going
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: to add more pressure to him when he blows up
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: and it's not the player everybody thought he was going
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: to be, so I can create domons too, okay, cracks
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: or domins soaking a tight butt. So anyway, where did
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: that come from? Anyway?
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I neither do I. But I'm frustrated,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: and uh I am. I'm frustrated, and I'm doing my
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: best to remain positive. And it's awfully hard to start
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: a show off and you're not in a positive mindset.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know how to be positive about this.
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Listen, the young man has has had all kinds of
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: injury issues, especially with his feet, and the fact that
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: we're disappointed about this, it's like, well, no, it's that's
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: not what you should be disappointed me.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's him though, right, I don't. I
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: don't think all this disappointment is coming directly from the
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Donnie Freeman news. I think it's just a culmination of everything.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, we talked about it last week when Zoom committed,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Like then it was finally something to feel good about
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: and you got a player come in and you can
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: start to dream a little bit what he can be.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: But that momentum was all halted. We we haven't had
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: any positive good news in the last what week and
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: a half ever, since the zoom dyall news.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I guess you got the news that Trent
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Noah was coming back. Whoop? Do do I like that response?
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Right there?
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Well done, So Trent Noah is coming back? How do
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: you respond? Woo, yeah, let's go.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well it's it's uh man, it's it's really uh yeah.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Here's the thing for me, here's the thing that I'm
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: really struggling with with all this. Yes, for years, maybe
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: for all of time, Kentucky sold itself right. The name
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: on the front of the jersey was an to get
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: anybody you wanted on campus, because everybody wanted to play
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: for the University of Kentucky. Why is that not the case?
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: I get there's more parody across the landscape of college basketball.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: I get we've got nil and all these players are
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: greedy and they want their share of the pie. But
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: why is Kentucky not selling itself anymore? I don't know
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: of any school that's selling itself anymore.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Duke Duke's still getting whoever they want for the most part. Yeah,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: but how's that turning out? I mean, hasn't led to championships.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Now they're having fun seasons, And when I compare what
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Duke has done the last two years to what you've
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: seen under Mark Pope. What would be more fun as
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: a Kentucky fan probably having that roster in the experience
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: that Duke has had. Despite no national championships, at least
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: it's been fun seasons.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Well, that's been a fun regular season. It's not getting
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: to the NCAA Final four. I mean they're not even
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: making the final fours. So they're losing in the late
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: eight the last two years. Yeah, but you're missing my point.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: The way the way they're getting there is a lot
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: more fun. It's like you're going on a trip to Florida.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Do you want to ride in a minivan or do
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: you want to ride in a corvette? But again, they're
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: only probably going to be a little more fun. They're
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: only winning one or two more games. So what.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: M I don't know that I agree with that. Okay, Well,
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: I'd rather have a fun regular season. Okay, so you're
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: a regular season.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Knowing that it's going to lead to the same result
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: to an Elite eight, So you would rather have a
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: fun regular season even though the results primarily the same the.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Last two years. I would have rather been Duke than Kentucky.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Really yeah, I could never say that. So you can
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: say that, but I would never say that. But I
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: guess they're doing okay. I guess they're doing a little
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: bit better. But I would rather be a Michigan right now.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: I'd rather be a Yukon. I think Yukon is bringing
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: more than a Duke is. I think a bench.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: If john Shire doesn't get it going on next year
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: or the year after that, as far as making at
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: least the final four, I think players are going to
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: become disinterested in Duke.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: You'll, honestly, you'll probably see a lot of the same
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: stuff that you're seeing at Kentucky right exactly. I mean,
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: the fans will get to a point where, Okay, we
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: like this dude, but it's just not going to work out.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: And I feel like that's where kind of where Kentucky
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: is right now.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, the news that you're getting from Duke is
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: not kind of the news that you want right now.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: It's off the court, it's not on the court type stuff,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: so which is really kind of a shame. I mean,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw the news about Mike
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Krzyzewski's grandson, which is really kind of sad. Wasn't he fifteen?
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Is that what I saw? I think the person he
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: hit was fifteen? Okay? No, Skrzewski's grandsons in his mid
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: to late twenties, I think, okay, yeah. I had briefly
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: saw the headline. I didn't really want to discuss it
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: on my show, so I didn't bring it up. But
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: I thought I saw that his grandson was fifteen. I
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: was like, first of all, was he driving, Yeah, fifty's fifteen.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Second of all, was he driving while intoxicated? Were Wow?
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: I mean that's a life right there. Man, fifteen year
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: old pulled over for something like that. I mean, come on,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: weren't you driving at fifteen?
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: I was with my parents, I guess, yes, okay, well
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: with your parents. You can't drive by yourself at fifteen.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: No. No. That was the one thing I could not
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: wait the summer before I got my driver's license. I
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: could not wait to get my driver's license. And as
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: soon as I got it, I was out in the date. No.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, taking a girl to go see a movie. By
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: the way, I did want to make a correction, I
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: said there. There hasn't been any excitements since Zoom completely
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: forgot about Alex Wilkins. That is an exciting pickup. I
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: think that's gonna be a fun piece for Kentucky this year.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: So I did want to correct that. Okay, yeah, I
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: guess so, all right, just we need more dudes. I mean,
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: it just can't be that one and that's it. We
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: need a lot more people than just those two guys.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: You need height, as it stands right great on the guards,
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Malachi is your only big guy.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: The backcourt's fantastic, the front well, and you hope it's
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Malachi coming back. I think you will for sure. I
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: mean more times than not. He's not gonna go. He's
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: just using it to prepare himself for the future because
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: he will play in the NBA. He will get drafted,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: but just not this year. There's too many people out there.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: It's too deep right now for him to go.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: But I mentioned it this morning. We're almost at the
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: point where you probably would have wished Yellovitch came back, right,
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, he feels like the best option that's left
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: out there.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: You almost wish Brandy Garrison came back. You almost wish
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: a lot. And I know you don't.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: I know you don't. Mo Diabante. I would take Brandon Garrison.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: You're pushing it. Oh, come on?
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, why do you have so much dislike for Brandon Garrison?
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: Wow?
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Man, he has never you never even met the guy before,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: and he's a bumm deal.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, not in like I'm sure he's not off
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: the court of bum but on the court, yeah, he's
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: He can get out of here.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: So let's go back to my original question. Do you
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: think this has really been a mess up by a
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: university Kentucky not bringing in a gentleman here?
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, and then bringing in what's his name? Remind
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: me of his name again? Uh, Keithan Brown? Yeah, I
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: mean bringing in him, bringing him in, and everybody.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Just assuming that he's a GM.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: But it's very clearly evident now that he's not acting
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: as a GM. He is strictly doing I don't know,
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: a player whatever his title is, analytics sorr. Yeah, I
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: don't know whatever he does, he's not acting as the
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: G so, yes, I don't know what the hesitation is.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: And I heard it. I don't remember what show it
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: was on yesterday, but Rick Mattino apparently had a falling
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: out with his GM, and there would they were debating
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: whether that had anything to do with why Pope is
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: hesitant against hiring one because he saw how it played
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: out with Rick Patino. Maybe he's just skeptical about how
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: bad it could be. I don't I don't get it.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: I have no idea what the hesitation is. I really don't.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I listen. I'd love to know what Mark Pope
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: thinks about Rick Patino today. Yeah, and would I would
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: love it.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: I would love yeah, being a fly on the wall
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: last night in the pope household, Yes, when he's sitting
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: there talking to Leanne would have been incredible.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, And uh So I don't know how to feel
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: about that. But I uh, the more that this is
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: going on, the more that I am literally getting really
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: concerned about universit, Kentucky basketball and Mark Pope's success. Rightfully,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: so uh and I I just again, I don't want
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: to force out opinions right now because I want to
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: see how the off season plays out before we get
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: really concerned. But right now there is concerning and I
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: think it's deserved. It kind of feels like going into
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: the last season of Mark Stoops, right. I mean, you're just.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: You want to try to be hopeful and see the
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: the rainbow at the end of the tunnel or whatever.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: But yeah, it's it's really really hard at this juncture
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: to do that.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, And this is only year three, so this
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: is a pivotal next few weeks for Mark Pope and
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: uh if if it's you know, I've seen the memes
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: out there swinging the miss He's written a book called
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: uh with I mean, they're really funny memes.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: Me okay, whatever they are memes I'm correcting you every
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: time from now on because memes.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: All right. Pims cup? Have you ever had a Pims cup?
• 15:45

• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Michael Bennett is here today. Okay, Michael t Bennett. Love
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: it when we throw the middle name out, you know
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: you're positive? Is that what it is?
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: That is the most positive, Michael Bennett is when you
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: throw the teeth. Oh ye, Well, because you know, when
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: I heard my incomplete name out of my mom's mouth,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: I knew I was in trouble, all right. When I
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: heard Michael Todd Bennett, I'm like, oh crap, what did
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: I do? And did you? Did your mom? Ever? Have
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: you go pick us what we used to call a switch.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: She would go and I would be in so much
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: trouble as she goes. You'd go out there and you
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: pick a switch off that tree. No, we were strictly
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: a belt family. Oh really. Oh yeah. See my dad
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: would always threaten with the belt, but it was usually
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: right after dinner and he just wanted to loosen his
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: belt because he ate too much. We all caught on
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: after three or four times, because you know, it's like,
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: come on, dad, and we would make him laugh. He
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: could never stay mad at us. See my mom was
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: the enforcer, Yes she was. She used the belt.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Dad was just there to hold down the
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: hands so I couldn't come. Whoa, your dad held down
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: the hands and your mom whipped you.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: She would always bring him in just to like control me.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: And then yeah, she would go to town by the way.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: I also, this is a fun story by my mom
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: that we've laughed at over the years. I lost my
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: first tooth because.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Of my mom. What yeah, crazy.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: So I guess I had left a toy of some
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: sort in the living room and I was just in
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: my room playing and here's he comes storming down the
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: hallway with that toy and she was basically like, pair
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: crop your toys and just launched it at me and
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: it hit me right in the face and I lost
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: the tooth. Crazy, right, Your mom threw a toy at you.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: I don't think she was trying to hit me out.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: She's not very god not very athletic, so I totally
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: believe she was aiming elsewhere.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I had a teacher threw a trampler at
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: me one time. What Yeah, but I mean they probably
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: should have been fired. Now it's a stapler. This is
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: the seventies, and nothing like that ever happened. So anyway,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: I think I was like ten or eleven. Yeah, missus Jefferson,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: I loved her dearly.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: If that's what went down in the seventies, what went
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: down in the forties, Yeah, well, well that is true.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Uh, let's get to the whiskey deep text line five
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: O two four one fourteen fifty Uh. One person said,
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: it seems it just seems like Pope lost the cat
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: and mouse game. He had two guys take take visits
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: and pick the one that he wanted. Then money came
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: in and it changed everything. Well, here's how I respond
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: to that. Justin you got I think great examples out
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: there of money and teams are probably the Yankees and
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers. Yeah, and they don't ever let money get
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: in the way. So if money's not an issue, go
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: ahead and pay him. If you have that much confidence
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: that is the player you want. Don't let money get
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: in the way. So what's the hesitancy? Is it because
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: of last year? I would say so? So what you
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: swung and missed, but doesn't mean you're gonna swing and
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: miss the second year. So if you believed in that player,
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Mark Pope, go get them. Don't let money get in
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: the way. Yeah, but you can't risk having a a
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: hefty roster like you did last year. That why not?
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Because looking how it played out, that's not a good look. Easy.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: I understand it's not a good look. But what's gonna
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: be an even worse look is that you had the money,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: you didn't spend it and you lose your job. That's okay,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: So I would say, go spend the money if you
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: have that much belief. Just here's what I've always heard.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: This is what my dad always taught me, and this
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: is why to teach my boys. If it's you know,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: even at work, you always pretend within your budget. If
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: it's your own money, and if you would spend that
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: money on that investment, go do it, uh one thousand
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: percent every time. If you don't, if there's any hesitancy,
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: the next deal will come. So did Mark believe in
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: this player, Donny Freeman, or did he not? If he
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: did and he didn't spend the money, that's on Mark Pope, Yeah,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: I mean or I mean, we don't know though, you know,
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: we don't know, We don't know, we don't ever know
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: anything with it. We've heard that they're not gonna have
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: twenty two million this year. Maybe his hands are.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: Tied by boosters and buy that, ain't i Elpha, I
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: don't think it's by boosters.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, you hear Eli Capolittle. The President Versity is
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: saying that we need to cut budgets. Yet we're giving
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: an athletic director nine hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Yet
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: we need to cut budget and we're not gonna spend
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: it on players, but we're gonna give nine hundred and
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: fifty thousand dollars to an athletic director. I'm not letting
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: that go. I don't really Yeah, well, I think it's deserved.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: We don't need to have a former athletic director getting
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: four million dollars from a university that's trying to cut budgets.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: We just don't need it. One person said, oh, let
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: me get too good. Lord Josh texted in. He said,
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: I don't care whose fault it is. It needs to
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: be all costs. There is no urgency to fix it.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: We just keep moving the goalpost. I don't care what
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: player it is, it's everything across the board. You have.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: You should have contacted and had in person visits scheduled
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: the entire weekend after the portal opened. Then we talked
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: about high asking prices. Mark Pope started this crap by
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: paying twenty two million for the roster last year. He
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: helped create this mess. I digress. Fix it. Also, don't
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: tell me JMI has anything to do with this. Why
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: is Will Stein loading up with five and four star players?
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Why is Craig Skinner and Kenny Brooks loading their roster
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: every year they have the same Jmi.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: Ye, there's something there that and that tell we were
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: talking a little bit of all fair about this, but
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: that just that tells me that something further is going on.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Whether that's Mark Pope's weirdness, that that that.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no, no, keep it's loaded out everywhere
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: I know, but let's not let's not say that on
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: this show.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying I don't know what it is, but
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: there is something going on. Because that is a great
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: point there by Josh. Every other coach on campus is
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: killing hill. Yeah, why is Mark Pope not when Kentucky
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: basketball is the University of Kentucky. Those other sports aren't.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: Now they're trying to get to that point, but men's
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: basketball is the university. Yeah, they should be getting the
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: recruits over anybody else. And why they're not as baffling,
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: I simply can't answer that question because Josh, I think,
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: brought up a phenomenal point right there. Will Stein comes
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: to town and he has not only been the talk
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: of the state, the talk of the Southeastern Conference, he's
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: being the talk of the on the national level. People
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: all over the country are talking about what will Stein
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: is doing at lowly football program University Kentucky, and Mark
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Pope doesn't have anything to say about it, because you
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: can't blame anybody else but look in the mirror and
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: say it might be me. So there's those reports that
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: you just mentioned. I don't want to throw Mark Pope
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: under the bus because of that, because people are saying
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: he's different. We're all different. I mean aren't you slightly
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: curious to get to the bottom of what's actually going down?
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Of course I am, but we're not going to know
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: unless somebody out there writes a book about it, and
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: it'll be ten years down the road. Why the failure
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: of Mark Pope this year? So, but my optimism can
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: quickly turn to pessimism. So, but I don't want it
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: to right now. One let's see a forty eight handily
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: texted in saying Duke's getting close. Houston beat them two
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: years ago on the last second shot to go to
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: the final game. Yeah, but they also lost to Houston
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: when they were up by fourteen a double digits last year,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: and then this past season they lost to Yukon and
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: they were leading Yukon by nineteen. So I would say
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: forty eight handling that Duke is going in the wrong
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: direction when it's trying to get to the final four.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: So who's your top talent evaluator, the coach or a
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: general manager. So the coach wants these pieces, and then
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: the general manager decides how he's going to pay them.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: See any conflict there, yes, but that's why the coach
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: is in control of everything. So you go out and
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: hire the person that works well with you. That's how
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: you build a successful business. There's always going to be
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: conflicts because you know what, a good employee will not
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: just be a yes man. We don't want a yes man.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: We want somebody that's gonna say no to you and
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: tell them why not just say no to you, but
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: then tell them back it up with why they are
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: saying no. Who brought him in? Would it have been Popper,
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Mark Pope, Mitch barn Mark Pope brought him in? Yeah,
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: I mean that's who should be bringing him in because
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: that's who's with him on the day to day. So
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: your top evaluator is the coach, your top evaluator, and
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: sometimes your top evaluator is your recruiting coach. I mean
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: just like at UK for football for many years until
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: that changed and that this was the failure of Mark Stoops,
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Vince Merrill was the top evaluator for all the players.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Now obviously Mark Stoops had the final say, But when
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: that changed and it went to another assistant coach, so
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: did the whole dynamic of UK football. Same thing with
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Mark Pope. Mark Pope is the final say. But you
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: know a lot of times you got a not a
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: general manager, but you got uh an assistant coach, head
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: recruiter that is your top evaluator. Aerobic was the top
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: evaluator for John Caliperry and they did phenomenal job. Now,
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: obviously John Caliperry was the final say, but Robig was
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: phenomenal at it, and then you had the closer. So yeah,
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: you have to have a money guy that comes in
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: and knows how to negotiate with all these agents, because
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Mark Pope clearly does not. Majority of the coaches out
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: there do not know how to negotiate and have never
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: negotiated with agents out there, So to sit here and
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: rely them on money and contracts a mistake.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: And he's never had to deal with that no before
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: nil correct. So I mean it's completely understandable to me
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: that he's in over his head and doesn't know what
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: he's doing in that regard. But that's where a GM
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: can help, and that's where I think a lot of
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: his frustrations coming from. You have options to go out
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: there and hire guys to help you with all this, yeah,
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: but instead we're not doing that. We're trying to figure
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: it all out ourselves.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: One person said, we cannot overstate how big of a
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: get Alex Wilkins is. The kid is a stud that
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: people seem to be sleeping on. I'm happy with and Wilkins.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: People need to quit with the doom and gloom. Tired
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: of hearing it. I agree with Alex Wilkins. I think
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: he's gonna be a ridiculously exciting piece. I know he
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: came from Furman, but if you look at tape of
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: that kid, he's he's gonna be awesome. One person said,
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: great song choice. Thank you. So somebody's liking those songs.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: I love that. Yeah, good for you. Anyway, Well let's see.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: One person said, Michael, I don't think money is the problem.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: If a kid or any twenty three year old transfer
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: wants to play at Kentucky, they will show up. Something
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: seems off, whether it is the sales, pitch or perception
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: by young people. I uh, yes, I don't think it
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: seems to be off. Something is off, and what that
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: is I have no idea, but justin something is totally
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: off with the back basketball program. I mean that's not
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: being negative, that's not being positive. Something different is happening
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: and I can't figure out what it is.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: And that's the frustrating part because nobody really knows. We're
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: all spitballing here trying to figure out exactly what the
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: issues is.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: But nobody knows. Yeah, and we may never know. One
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: person said, as frustrating as losing Freeman was, there will
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: be other players. Some will enter the portal today and
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: some will take their name out of the NBA draft.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: Portal does close the day, so you'll have finality on
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: who's all in, who you can go after. Maybe they
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: evaluate correctly and find people they're interested.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: But this last minute stuff, it's for the dogs, Okay.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: I mean I feel like we're getting scrappy seconds or
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: not scrappy sloppy all right about that? Have been a
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: lot of decisions made already, yeah, for what it's worth,
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: and we're not making decisions in favor of UK. So
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: that's that's the frustrating part to me. So anyway, right,
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: we gotta take a break. Five O two three four
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: fourteen fifty. You want to call in fab two four
• 32:03

• 34:31
  Speaker 2: All right, so, hey, how you doing? How you doing YouTube?
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: So which goes around the world. Yeah, I'd like to
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: know if that guy in Greece is watching us on YouTube?
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine? Good You're in Greece and you're seeing
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: Michael Bennett look like an idiot on YouTube? Yeah? All right,
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: let's go to the phone lines. John's up, what's going on? John?
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: Michael, Michael, Michael? How you doing this morning?
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: It's great to save my life? John how are you.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: I think I'm doing a little bit better now because
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: I'm starting to see some good wording by some people
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: on your text line. And at the end of Justin's
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: where they were kind of like, you know, calm down,
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: relax a little bit. You know, this whole thing with
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: Donnie Freeman, I mean, I wanted Donnie Freeman because arguably
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: on paper right now, based who's on the portal rankings,
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: he's the fifteenth best player you can get and everyone
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: else is behind him. Obviously, Yeah, that we can think of,
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: right right. But the thing is, like, like you guys said,
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: the portal closes today. So there's gonna be some NBA
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: guys that might be getting feedback right now that say, hey,
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: your fringe late round first, or you might be early second,
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: and this is you know, and they've got financial guys
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: that are probably saying, well, this is what your contract
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: world look like at that pick. So then those guys
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: are going to say, well, do I want to make
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: you know, one point to two point three million and
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: try this route, or do I want to go back
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: to college and make you maybe make two point five,
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: maybe make three million. And so some of these guys
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: then will come into the portal and guess what. Well,
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: Donnie Freeman was fifteenth, now he might be twenty seventh.
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: So at the end of the day, I mean, don't
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: get me wrong, I'm not gonna come on here like, oh,
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: I'm not upset that we didn't get Donny Freeman. I'm upset.
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: But maybe the staff, Michael and Justin, maybe the staff
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: has had maybe some slight communication somewhere with maybe not
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: necessarily the players, but maybe some form of some way.
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: They've got an inkling that there might be one or two,
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: maybe three guys in this NBA line that's going to
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: jump back in and maybe they feel like those are
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: better players.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: John, Here's the issue. Here's the issue I have with that.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: Where where does the confidence come from that those guys
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: are going to consider Kentucky.
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: I don't think you. I don't think you have a
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: You're right, Justin, I don't think you have one hundred
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: percent confidence. I mean, it's just it's kind of like
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: going to Vegas and you know, putting your numbers on
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: black or red here. You know, you just take a
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: you just take a pic and you see what happens.
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: There's no fifty to fifty line here. So now I
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: agree with your You're right, Justin, there's no confidence. But
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: do you let's say, okay, Justin, you pronounced his name
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: way better than I could this morning. What was that
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: guy I mentioned in the text?
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'd have to go back and look.
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: Let me see if he's from Iowa.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: He's from Iowa to.
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they said, if this guy comes back out of
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: the draft, which would be a pipe dream, but let's
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: see if he did. If he comes out of the draft,
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: comes back to college and and remotely Kentucky has a
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: chance at all with this guy. He's arguably the number
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: one or number two player in the portal.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: And yes, I appreciate your optimism there, John, But what
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: if that's not the case and Mark Pope doesn't get
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: any of these people you're you're talking about.
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: I think I think, for one, Michael, he'll even if
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: he doesn't get like one of those big time guys
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: we just mentioned there. I think the guy from a
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: I think it was George Mason and someone like that. Uh.
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: He he's a player that Kentucky could easily I think
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: maybe get. And I think his name is Justin or
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: James Madison, sorry, not George Mason. Justin McBride. Sorry, had
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: that name way wrong, but not in and and and
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: God forbid if uh and I want to I want
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: to say something here real quick on this Justin McBride.
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: And you may not listen to just the Katz, but
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: we hope you do because Michael Ben is awesome and
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: you should be listening to Justin.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: Kaylinden, go ahead.
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: But if you're listening Justin McBride, please don't take that
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: or if someone clips this, don't take that as a
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: slide against you. But we we all know money talks,
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: be it and b s walks, and the point of
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: it is, there's a ranking system, and there's a paying system,
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: and right now Justin McBride has proven to be ranked
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: somewhere where he's proven to have a certain amount of
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: money of value. And so that's the reality of the
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: whole circumstances. So it's not a knock against that young man.
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: I think that young man could go to Kentucky or
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: somewhere else and move up and prove to everybody that hey,
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: I should have been number fifteen, I should have been
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: number ten. So we give individuals like that a chance. Obviously,
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: I think Michael it all tells on Stokes. They are
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: putting their chips in on this young man, and everybody
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: thinks he's gone to Kansas, Adidas and Nike's gonna work
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: something out. Whatever. He doesn't really want to be at
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: Kentucky and all this. Well, guys, I could say the
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: same thing. If he wanted to be at Kansas so bad,
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: he already be there. If he wanted to be at
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: Organ so bad, he already be there. So we consider
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: and play Devil's advocate and say, well, he doesn't want
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: to be at Kentucky because he'd already be there. Well,
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: the same thing for those of the schools.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: I hear you. But here's the issue that I have
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: the fact that Mark Pope does not have a GM
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: that knows how to negotiate with these agents. Because the agents,
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: in my mind, are taking advantage of Mark Pope in
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: the University Kentucky because they saw how much they spent
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: last year. So they're saying, well, you know what, guys,
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: we may not want to go to UK, or we
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: may not want to go to uh Oregon or Kansas,
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: but let's let's you know, Kentucky has the money, Let's
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: use them as much as we can. And it's going
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: to be good for you because it's also going to
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: be lining the agent's pocket with a lot more money
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: as well. That's my biggest concern. And Mark Pope does
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: not know how to negotiate these types of deals, and
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: the fact that he doesn't it's proving to me this
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: year and last year he's getting taken advantage of.
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, he's he said, you're right, Michael, he's
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: kind of set the presidents when not having a GM
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: that Kentucky can be like an imaginary piggybank, so we
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: can set the market a little bit and then teams
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: can go slightly higher and see if we'll push to
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: go higher or not. They're letting Kentucky set the bar
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: and then coming in and gobbling up when we shouldn't
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: be doing that. You know, we should not be doing
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: that at all. We should be doing it a different way,
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: and a GM would be perfect for that, and then
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: two other things real quickly. I believe I said it
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: on Justin Show this morning. There is a difference with
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: this fan base. I have been critical of Coach Pope.
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: In fact, I have a you know, I've had probably
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: a clip or something somewhere ESPN or something or anywhere
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: else where. I went off and said some stupid stuff
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: about coach Pope and said he needed to be the
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: F word, which is fired. And I think the F
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: word is dangerous. Sometimes we say it, you know, the
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: other F word. We don't like to say out loud
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: in public too much, but some do and then the
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: other word is fired. We've got to watch this because
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: we have a public perception, which your social media and
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: if you're on there just dogging these guys, you're talking
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: about their families, the players and the coaches. It makes
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: it unattractive where the players may not want to come
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: here too, because they see the high expectations and then
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: they see the burbage backing it where you're dogging these guys.
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: I think we got to dial that back. And I'm
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: as guilty have it as much as anybody else. And
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: I definitely apologize to any players or any coaches. That's
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: not right and I shouldn't do that as a human being,
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: and I need to reflect from that and learn from that.
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: One more quick thing. I hope you guys don't get
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: mad about this. This is just this is personal, not basketball.
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: I just want to say yours truly. John Here aka
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: John Geary and Evans Lely, Indiana is going to be
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: in a movie called Child of the Crimson Sky Wow,
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: and it's yeah, I'm going to play a soldier in
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: that movie. It's it's in the process of being made.
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: And on my and not to try to promote myself
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: out but well for Johnny trying.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: To promote myself and talk about it. I'm not trying
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: to promote myself, but please let me just let me
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: talk a few minutes about me promoting myself that I'm
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: not promoting.
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: Go on there and watch quick videos. I don't want
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: to say anymore, but it's gonna be fun. Michael, your
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: guys in the show is awesome. Justin you are awesome.
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: Thanks for giving me time.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: Guys, hear from you. Oh my gosh. I'm not trying
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: to you know, anytime somebody says I'm not trying to
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: do something, they are trying to do something. I love that. John,
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: don't say that. Just go ahead and promote it. I
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: don't care. But don't come on here and say I'm
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: not trying to promote, but let me promote this. It's
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: pretty cool. That is pretty good in a movie. Our
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: car was on Netflix one. I now have more questions
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: about the movie than I do Mark Pope. I want
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: to know about this movie and how do I get
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: in this movie? I can play a soldier? Could you
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: think you all right? Because we just got a couple
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: of minutes before we got to take the hour break?
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: But do you think you could ever act in a movie? Yes?
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: Do you think anything is difficult? I wouldn't think so. No,
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: I don't think so either, because I mean I can.
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: I can turn my mindset on a dime. Yes, I
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: think I could. I could play any role you wanted me.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: You could turn your mindset on dime. Okay, I want
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: you to turn your mindset. UK is better than I
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: you I can't do that. Oh that you just said
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: you could. That's acting. No, you can't act.
• 44:06
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: My biggest dream and if anybody out there has a
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: lead for this, let me know.
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: What I would want to do more than anything else.
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: I would love to be a voice actor. Oh oh yeah,
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: I have this dream of walking into a studio they
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: show me a picture of the character and just let
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: me come up with the voice for that character.
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: That would be my biggest dream in life. I have
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: had more people tell me, Michael, you have a voice
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: for radio. I never knew I did, and it's like
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: you should be in uh, you should be in voice acting,
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: to the point where somebody actually sent me names of
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: agents to call. Really and I never did it. Yeah,
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I just I thought that's kind of silly,
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: because I think I think one of the best voice
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: actors out there right now, who just got a huge
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: reward from AFI Sunday Night is Eddie Murphy. I think
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: between Eddie Murphy and unfortunately who's not no longer around him,
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: or Robin Williams. Yeah, I think there are a bunch
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: of people out there that can do voices that are
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: just Hank Azaria. Do you know who Hank Azaria is Brockmyer. Yes,
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: I would have to say he is probably the greatest
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: voice actor out there an actor. By the way, did
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: you watch Brockmeyer? What was brock Oh? No, I did
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: not watch Brock Well. I saw a couple of scenes
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: from it, maybe four or five minutes.
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: It looked a little too silly. Watch the first two seasons. Really,
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: I think the first two seasons are really really good.
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: After that, it it kind of turns the crap. But
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: that's where he's a baseball announcer. He's just completely I
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: mean he's basically Harry Carey hammered in the booth every game.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: Oh I like that. Okay, yeah, I'll have to go
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: back and watch that thing because I think Hank is there.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: I think one of his funniest roles was in Birdcage.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: I don't think I've seen him in anything other than Brockmeyer.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: Oh really, Yeah, you need to go watch this movie
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: called Bird Cage. It's got Nathan Lane and Robin Williams
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: and all. Who's the famous actor that just they found
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: him in his house passed away with his wife. Gene
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: Hackman is in that movie. Hilarious movie. But Hank is area.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's one of the funniest guys out there.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: All right, we gotta take a break. FABO two three
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: eight four fourteen fifty. You want to call fab two
• 46:31

• 46:39
  Speaker 2: This is just a cat.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Just the Cats with Michael Bennett.
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm totally lost where I am on text messages
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: because you know, for some reason, some are green, you know,
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: they indicate by color when you haven't read them, and
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: the other ones and they indicate by a white background.
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: I have no idea because sometimes they come across as green,
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: sometimes they come across as white. I don't know where
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: I am. So if I'm reading another one, please stop
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: me that I've already read. Okay, right, Michael, I don't
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: think money is the problem. Have I read this one?
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. If a kid or any twenty
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: three year old transfer wants to play at Kentucky, they
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: will show up. Something seems off. Yeah, I've read this
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: one before and I agree. Whether it's the sales, pitch
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: or perception by young people, something is off at Kentucky.
• 47:51
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: One person said, I am trying to understand why Kentucky
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: isn't going after the top guys. We didn't go after
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: anyone in the top twenty in the two answer portal.
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: Is that true? That can't be true? Right? John was
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: saying Freeman's in the number fifteen. Right, Yeah, he was saying,
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: of the ones that are still remaining, I haven't looked
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: at the transfer portal ranking, so I honestly can't speak
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: to this.
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, one person said, I will die.
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: Let's not you. That's the problem. John Kentucky is too
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: prestigious to just be gambling on what may or may
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: not happen. They should have a plan. They clearly don't.
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: Is that part of the problem right there? And is
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: it the fact that maybe that's the main problem, there's
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: no plan. How could you be a coach of a
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: high major Division I school and not have a plan.
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: I really find that hard to believe that Mark Pope
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: doesn't have a plan. I mean, it just seems like
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: it's just discombobulated.
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: I think he had a plan. I just don't think
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: it was a well formulated plan. And honestly, we talked
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: about it either yesterday or late last week. But the
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: frustrations only exasper exacerbated because of exasperbate whatever, you know
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: what I'm trying to say. We both can't say it exacerbated,
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: But it's become a bigger issue because of what everyone
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: else is doing. When you're seeing Louisville have success, when
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: you're seeing Indiana get guys out of the portal schools,
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: across the country are getting their pieces out of the
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: portal in Kentucky's not and that's making it even more frustrating.
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: And it all it almost points you straight to Mark Pope.
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know how house you can look
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: at it. It's it points straight to the head coach.
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: I mean you take the criticism and you take the
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: the the happy days, good and bad days. Uh. When
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: Josh texted and said, here comes John moving the goal
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: post again. Oh we need Freeman, we want Freeman. He
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: picks Saint John's now saying, oh, well he had foot
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: problems and he could actually be lower on the list
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: of the other player's withdrawal from draft. What are we doing?
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: And see that's why I'm taking out Freeman altogether. It's
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: not Freeman. It's the fact that the coaching staff took
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: forever to recruit him and you lost him. That's a problem.
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: So one person said, I need someone to explain where
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: all this money is from deals with Nike JMI fanatics.
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: I get we have money from revshare, but where is
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: this money with these A little help please, Well, there
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: are major donors out there that are giving money. A
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: lot of that's coming from there so, but we still
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: don't know where it's going. No, and we never will.
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: It's going to Mitch Barnhardt nine and fifty dollars. I'm
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: just not gonna let that die. Ama, It's gonna bug
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: me to my death. I think one person said that
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: Connecticut team, which blew no. Oh. So now we have
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: to be gentle kind with our words in regard to
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: these recruits. Maybe throw in a comfort dog. Well done
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: in forty eight handily. Yeah. I know we are very
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: outspoken when it comes to a fan base. Yeah, okay, think,
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: but with that comes when things are going good. We
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: are very outspoken in a positive way. So there's good
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: and bad with it, and I think there's more good
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: than there is bad. That's what I'm gonna say. I
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: don't like it. Listen, when college athletes were not paid
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: and we're amateurs, I get it, you can't say anything
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: about them. But now that they're being paid, I think
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: the criticism goes along with it. So I've changed how
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: I feel about it. The criticism is deserved when it
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: should be said. Now, don't go after family members or
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: anything like that. I wish people would not uh use
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: their name or at them with their account when using
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: criticism are Yeah, just just send it out there. They
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: want to search their name, that's one thing. But don't tag. No, No,
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: that's the that's the part I don't like at all.
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: But oh, somebody finally showed up today. Yeah, so justin,
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: somebody's a little tardy today. Yeah, because he to the
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: left or the right, he's to the right of me.
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: He's over here. Oh do we not have a camera
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: on him? So nobody's gonna see Corey? We have Corey
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: Price in the show, and nobody's going to know. That's
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: what he gets for being late.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: Well a face for radio, mister Bennett.
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: If you want to be on the camera, you got
• 53:12
  Speaker 3: to be on time. What the hell, Corey? You're never late?
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: And then and you're late today when we needed to
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: be on time. That you're so wow, Maybe not get
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: carried away? Yeah, how do we handle this?
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: Justin?
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: Should he be allowed to come next week? I think
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: we've got to let him go right? Yeah, there you go,
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: one week suspension.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: I like that.
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: Yes, you gotta pay a fine. Pay a fine or
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: one week suspension?
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: Choices?
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: Are you got to compliment me and I will pay
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: what I get paid for this job?
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: Fine, so we're not getting anything. I know you'll get
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: paid as much as I get paid. Do you wonder
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: how much I get paid? Uh, Brian, more more than me?
• 53:54
  Speaker 4: No?
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: Less than u X problem? Yeah exactly. But I do
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: like your sweatshirt, and I'm thinking you're you're a top
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: button in honor of Corey Price, and but he shows
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: up late. I might have done button in just a second.
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: I'm rocking in honor of you. I do this Corey

• 54:35
  Speaker 1: time from that the salmon color. Say anything about your shirt?
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: What is wrong with my shirt? My shirt's not good
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: enough for Corey. We am not taking my shirt? Yes,
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: please keep your shirt. Yes, I will keep that on.
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: There are children watching the stream. This is one of
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: my favorite shirts. By the way, it's my it looks great.
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: It's a horse racing shirt. I can tell Delmark. Okay
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: up the sea. Yeah, that's right where the where the
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: turf meets the surf. That's their famous saying, yes, it's
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: the most nothing against Keenland. Sorry all you Keenland Lexington people.
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: I'll go to del Mar and I'll pick del Mar any.
• 55:14

  Speaker 2: It's amazing. Yeah. So you sit in the stands and
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: you see the Pacific Coach that where as is Aspen?
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: What is Aspen, California.
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: It's the line from Oh no, I didn't see that.
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: If Mark Pope would have brought Rob Wright to del Mar,
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: would he have got him? I got Well, do you
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: ever see h U of L taking players to Churchill Bounds?
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: Do you ever see that you got to go through
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: those neighborhoods to get there? So probably not that is fair,
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: But I I never understand all we got to take
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: to Keenland go see the race. It's like, why why
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: do we have to do that? That's the one thing
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: I don't get. I don't get it either. I mean,
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: these kids don't know what horse racing is. And I
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: guarantee you they're bored within two or three mins.
• 56:10
  Speaker 3: I didn't give one iode about horse racing when I
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: was nineteen twelve. Oh I did, oh I I ury,
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: but you're the exception. Okay, probably so, but yeah, anyway,
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: somebody needs to explain why we take recruits to the
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: Keenland Racecourse.
• 56:23

  Speaker 2: you headed? I'm going. I was going to ask you

• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: Spring game? Yeah? It was? It was good.

  Speaker 1: Uh, it was called it was called in the third
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: quarter for rings that kind of sucked.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: But how the team looked hopeful? They look good.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's hard to judge because we're going
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: against each other, So I mean, there there are times
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: where the O line didn't look well. So is it
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: is it because our D line is good? Is it
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: because our old line is bad? It's it's kind of
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: hard to They had fifteen players out too.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: That Yeah, so defensively, defensive side of the ball was
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: the better looking side.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: I'll say overall, yes, but I do believe offense had
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: more players out that would start, so.
• 1:08:48

• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: I heard you did, Okay, I heards thinks say it? Yeah, okay, good,
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: thank you. One person texted out five was two four
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 2: one four fourteen fifty. I couldn't care less that Indiana
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: and Louisville is doing in what Indiana Louis's doing in
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: the portal, those schools are irrelevant to what UK is doing.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: Just a whole different ballgame. Uf L with Kenny Payne
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: was less harsh and toxic than what UK is with Pope,
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: and Pope had been to a Sweet sixteen. You agree
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: with that.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 3: The first part, So I wasn't trying to say that
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 3: you all care about what Indiana and Louisville's doing in
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 3: the portal. I was just saying that it maybe makes
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 3: it more frustrating to see what anyone around's doing. But
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 3: I also agree with the sentiment that it doesn't really
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 3: matter at the end of the day. I mean, this
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 3: is all about what Kentucky is or isn't doing. Know
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 3: about the last part though, When Kenny Payne was at
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 3: Louisville it was it was pretty harsh and toxic, although
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 3: that kind of became like a laughable toxicity at the
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 3: end of it.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but maybe it is more harsh and toxic with
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: Kentucky and Pope. I don't know. Michael stripping for YouTube
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: didn't have that on my Bengo card today Bingo, Yeah,
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: I've just taken my I don't know why Corey didn't
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: like my vest. I mean it's salmon color. What's wrong
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: with my vest?
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 3: Can't believe you bend into his beliefs and took it
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 3: off for him. Well, I would have made him sit
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 3: there through, especially with him showing up late.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, you're right about that. I probably should have
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: also said, it's Keeland, the only thing in Lexington. What
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: else is there to do?
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 3: Wouldn't it wouldn't take in recruits for the castle be
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 3: so much more cool than Keitlan.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: Maybe having dinner there something like that. You know, everybody
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: wants to go to Jeff Ruby's and Lexia and it's
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: the most overrated steakhouse in the world. Heck, I rather
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: see Lexington Airport than ke Oh my gosh, Now Keenland
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: is pretty. I think you're being a little hard. No,
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: Keenlan is pretty, but it doesn't speak to young people.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: Oh now, you you don't know that unless you're a
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: unless you grow up in the horse racing scene. I
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: don't think that's necessarily true. If you when you go
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: in the spring in the fall, it is packed with
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: UK students. I mean packed, it's more UK students than
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: e Bay. Doesn't that speak to Is there anything else
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: in Lexington? Yeah? That was my Listen. I've got a
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: lot of great friends over in Lexington, lots of great friends.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: I couldn't live there. That's why I live in Louisville.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: And I'm not just no, I'm not trying to crap them. No,
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: I'm not either.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying there's there's gotta be better options. And
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 3: I put myself as a seventeen eighteen year old, nineteen
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 3: year old kid.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: I don't care about Keith. One person said as rom
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: cons Go nine Months is a good funny one with
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: Hugh Grant and Robin Williams. I don't think I've ever
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: heard of that one. Have you heard of that? Because
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: I like Hugh Grant and I love Robin Williams. I
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: don't know U Grant. Does he come across as a
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: jerk to you? I only look him up?
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 3: Oh you don't even know who Hugh Grant is? Come on,
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 3: not the best with actors by name?
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: I like you Grant. He's been in lots of really
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: good movies. You'll recognize lots of his movies if he's
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: a famous British actor.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: All right, well never mind, Uh what this is unbelievable.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: We don't worry about you like I'm in nineteen ninety two.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: I don't agree.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: No, oh you don't like him? No, okay, there you go. Uh,
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: the blue bloods don't get the benefit of the doubt anymore.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: I agree if you start right there. The days of
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: players coming for the name on the front are long gone.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: If UK doesn't get j Lucas next year, we will
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: be left behind and become the Nebraska of college basketball.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 3: Well that's good, right, Nebraska's been awesome. They just went
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 3: to a Sweet sixteen for the first time ever. Hell yeah, well,
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 3: I and why is everybody's eggs in the Jay Lucas basket.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 3: That's the one thing I don't understand. Everybody's so high
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 3: on Jay Lucas.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It's baffling. Yeah, I'm right there. That
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: would not be the guy that I would want. Forty
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: eight handily, said Pimlico's history. Old Hilltop was the scene
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: of the Great match between Triple Crown Champion War Admiral
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: and Seabiscuit in nineteen thirty seven. That is correct, did
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: you ever see the movie Seabiscuit. I don't think so.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: Maybe I might have run across that at some point,
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: but I don't think so. I would say Sea Biscuit
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: and Secretariat are the best horse movies. War Horse I
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: would probably put up there are the best horse movies
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: I've ever seen, But Sea Biscuits, I will say. You know,
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: people always say the book is better than the movie.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: This is true for Seabiscuit. The book was far better
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: than the movie, but the movie was fantastic. Are we
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: surprised there's not more horse racing movies? Probably?
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 6: So?
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: What other famous horses would you see? All right, I'll
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: tell you a famous movie. Are a famous horse? They
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: should make a movie on Sovereignty. You're right, I agree,
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: you're so biased. Would you just let me finish my sentence, please,
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: because I'm gonna forget the name, and then we're just
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: gonna to go on. Barbara. I think would be a
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: phenomenal movie if they ever decided to do a movie
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 2: on a horse. Are there any other horses out there
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: that you would think would be don't say Sovereignty. I
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: think that would be mine. That bird is a great one, yes,
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: mind that Burgen, maybe even charismatic who was what eighty
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: something to one to win the Kentucky Derby and one
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: mind that bird was awesome because that was Calvin Bourell.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 3: What was the one like five six years ago that
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 3: was like fifty sixty to one whatever? It ended up
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 3: going off at Mandaloon.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, I can't remember the name, a country House or something.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 3: Country house, really, I don't remember. That doesn't sound familiar.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 3: It was like it was a big underdog. Yeah, okay.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: By the way, you know, Core Price had that breaking
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: news and Churchill Downs is buying just the rights to
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: the Preakness and the Black Eyed Susan. You know, the
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: Black Eyed Susan is their version of the Oaks. So
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: that's what they're doing. They are buying it tell me
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 2: you have too much money without telling me you have
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: too much money. Under the terms of the DLCDI will
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: license to the State of America and the intellectual property
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: rights necessary to conduct the running of the Preakness and
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 2: Black Eyed Susans in exchange for an annual fee. So
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: and this will be implemented after the Preakness this year.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: So does that mean to you that church Chill Downs
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: if if the Belmont. Well, no, you know they had
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: talked about moving the preatness back a week. So do
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: you think Churchill downs will stop the preatness from moving
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: back a week or do you think Churchill Downs will
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 2: allow and now move the preatness back a week in
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: which Belmont will move back a week as well.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 3: I'd say they'll do their due diligence, balancing all of
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 3: this and trying to figure out what the best is
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 3: for for the overall health of sports of horse racing.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 3: I would say they will keep it a week back
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 3: the plan with that, Yeah, I'd say they'll still still
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 3: do that.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: One person said Swale would be a good one or
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 2: Smarty Jones for movies. Who Smarty Jones is a real
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: good one. I think so too. But I'd like yours
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: Mind that Bird because you know you got characters in it. Yeah,
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: with Calvin Borel and his brother who was the trainer,
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: so you got the boul Rail brothers, which would be
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 2: nobody expected that horse to win that. That to me
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: is the best pick right there. Uh, they've already made
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: a movie about Mind that Bird. I don't remember that
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: like they have. Huh, it's called Rich strike. I don't know, Rick,
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: No rich strike was the Oh well what you were
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 2: talking about? Yeah, okay, I got you. Uh what do
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: you think about the Kings letting go of uh uh,
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: not only Lynn Bowden, but now let go of Benny Snell?
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 3: Wild business decision. I mean that's two players that were
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 3: getting fans in the in the stands stands. They waxy
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 3: Kentucky players, and now you're obviously not gonna get that.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, I still think they'll be supported either way.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I was. I thought that was a pretty
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 3: big bummer.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: I yeah, supposedly, uh, they let Lynn Boden go because
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: he got in a fight. I'll do it. And uh,
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: then they let uh Benny go because he supposedly only
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 2: had what six yards and eight carries or eight yards
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: and six carries this past weekend. And then Benny Snell
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: went to social media saying the guy that put that
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 2: post up, he said, he wording it like it's my
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 2: fault clickbait. Well, of course it's not his fault. It's
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 2: the offensive line that's probably terrible. Maybe it's the coaching
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 2: that's terrible. I don't know. I was real disappointed. It's
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 2: one thing to see Lynn Boden gone. Now to see
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 2: Benny Snell, beloved running back from UK gone in only
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 2: four games into the season. I say, let the season
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: play out and then make those decisions. Well, they also
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 2: traded their quarterback. Well that needed to be to happen
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 2: from what I've seen. But trade is one thing to
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 2: just simply let the player go, let the season play
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 2: out and then let them go if you're going to
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 2: do something like that, But to do it in the
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: middle of the season, I mean this place. I mean,
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: not only did they not give me a credential, how
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 2: they're letting go of my players. Yeah, I have a
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 2: real problem with it. By the way, the mind that
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 2: bird movie is fifty to one is what it's called.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: Who's in It was released in twenty fourteen. It didn't
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 2: do very well.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 3: I don't think it did. Yeah, sticking with Skeet Ulrich,
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 3: Christian Kane and William Devane.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 2: Oh really okay, never heard of any I haven't either.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 2: Speaking of quarterbacks and UK, did you see where the
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 2: recent quarterback Cormack Jake Nallrot is moving up in the rankings?
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: How much higher could he go? Wasn't it? Rivals released
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 2: an update to its top three hundred players and he's
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 2: gone from thirty second to now twenty seventh in the country.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's really nice. And you know, UK's
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 2: after another five star tight end. Hopefully they'll get him
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 2: that's in state, So we'll see if that happens or not.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 2: But man Uk and will Stein, now I'll have three
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 2: four stars and seven three stars. Just he can't say
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 2: any nicer things.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 3: That's more four stars than Indiana had last year in
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 3: their championship run. So that seems to be a good
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 3: that is true.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 2: Have you seen that story about Fernando Mendoza where he
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: has said that he's not going to attend the draft
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: and the reason why did you hear why?
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 3: Because he wants to spend it with his family, give
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 3: back to all the people that ye poured into him
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 3: over the years.
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 2: That's awesome. So it's it's too hard, you know, it's
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: too hard for his mom to travel. She's got muscular distrogery,
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 2: is that right, ms MS, Yeah, muscular sclerosis and multiple
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: SCO and so uh, she's unfortunately in a wheelchair, so
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 2: she can't go.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 3: And he's got a lot of heat about that too.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 3: But there's one there's been lots of people over the
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 3: years expected to be number one that didn't. Why should
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 3: he get heat for that? But because he's not exactly
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 3: I'm this, I'm the same way as you. I mean
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 3: why And he said it best, like why celebrate with
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 3: twelve people in the green room when I could celebrate
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 3: with everybody that's meant so much to my career.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm all about Fernando because you know what, And truthfully,
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 2: let's be honest, he's being nice about that. It's really
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 2: about his mom. Well, and when they wants to be
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 2: there with his mom. When they asked him also about
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 2: well what would you do? What would you think about
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: going to a place like Vegas where you would potentially
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 2: start the year on the bench and get to learn
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 2: from a guy like Kirk Cousins, And he basically came
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 2: out and was like, well, then I'll sit on the
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 2: bench and learn behind a guy like Kirk Cousins. I mean,
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 2: I'll I'll do whatever I gotta do to help the team.
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 2: He's He's gonna be awesome. He is your ultimate team
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 2: player for sure, is what he is. He says all
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: the right things now and makes the all all the
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: right moves He's got to be a delight to work
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 2: for sure. I mean, just is uh agent has got
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 2: to be proud of him because you know he's just
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 2: counting the money already. But I like what he did.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 2: You know, I tweeted out last night, moms are greater
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 2: than NFL drafts. That's it. And they are. Yeah yeah,
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 2: but uh, all right, when we come back, there is
• 1:26:12

• 1:26:58
  Speaker 2: field turns for home top of the stretch, it's still

• 1:27:20
  Speaker 6: kind of spectacular, spectacular upsets wing that bird has from
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 6: the Kentucky had.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 2: A possible result here mind that word. I love how
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 2: he says that what you expecting that you gave me
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 2: goose pimples Listening to that call right there.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't really appreciate the broadcast or the Turchy
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 3: has now when you hear that, Yeah, because that that
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 3: was okay, but it's nothing that Travis Stone. Is that
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 3: the guy who does the calls?
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 2: Now? Yes, he's the absolute best, is he really? Yeah?
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: I always like Mike Battaglia, uh, who is from northern Kentucky,
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 2: did a lot of the Turf Way and then and
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 2: a lot of work at Churchill Downs. He was always
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 2: one of my favorites who just announced he's retiring. Been
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 2: in the business. I think it was like forty or
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 2: fifty years Mike Battaglia. But I always liked who's the
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 2: guy that's famous in Lexington did all the Olympics. Shucks,
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 2: I can't somebody's going to text me right now if
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 2: I got two four to win, four fourteen to fifty
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 2: he did a lot of Uh he wouldn't do the calls,
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: but he would host the show. I think Mike Tarico
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 2: does a nice job of hosting Kentucky Derby. But yeah,
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 2: there's a famous guy from Lexington, Kentucky that did all
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 2: kinds of sports announcing. Always did the Olympics. But gray
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 2: hair curly. Oh shucks, anyway, got me? All right? Nashville, Tennessee,
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 2: what are you so mad about? Are you ready for
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 2: the big news? Nashville is going to be hosting the
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 2: twenty thirty Super Bowl. What yep? That's actually really cool?
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, if you I gotta believe it's because they're
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 2: building a new stadium. Tom Hammond, thank you, Texter. Do
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 2: you not know who Tom Hammond is? Don't think so? Okay,
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 2: all right, but Tom Hammond is that announcer I was
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 2: referring to great announcer if you turned off, if you
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 2: looked him up, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 2: But Nashville, Tennessee, they're saying is going to be hosting
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 2: the super Bowl in twenty thirty. And this is interesting
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 2: to me? Is it because that when a city an
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 2: NFL team builds a new stadium, they automatically get a
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 2: super Bowl, they host one, because it seems like that
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 2: is the trend. When New York built MetLife, they hosted
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 2: a super Bowl in super bowls never in cold temperatures.
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, doesn't that make sense that the NFL would
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 3: do that? Like, if you're known as the biggest sports
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 3: league in the world, don't you want to go to
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 3: the newest and shiniest stadiums for your biggest game of
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 3: the year.
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's always a warm weather game. I mean,
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 2: that's the benefit of making the super Bowl. You get
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 2: rewarded by playing in warm weather.
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 3: Nashville's gonna be a dome, so it can be whatever
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 3: temperature that it was going to be a dome pretty sure.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh, I didn't know that. I'm almost gonna be
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: an outdoor staying, almost positivesting. Okay, well, if it's a dome,
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: then that's something different. I'll never get Back.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 2: In the early eighties, Cincinnati made their first Super Bowl
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 2: against the forty nine ers, and it was in Detroit, Michiganikes,
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 2: how do you like that? Now? That was indoors, but
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 2: it was a horrible place. I mean Detroit.
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 3: Speaking of Detroit, did we ever get an update on
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 3: old buddy arena football player who was trying out.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 2: I meant to look that up the other day and
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 2: forgot to have that. I have not found out. I listen.
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 2: It would make the Lions and the coaching staff look
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 2: so good if they just gave him a try. And
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 2: what if he made the team. I mean, he could
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 2: be the next Vincent Popoalia, you gotta go watch Invincible.
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 2: You like NFL, you like football, You will love Mark
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 2: Wahlberg playing Vince Papaulia Invincible.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 3: Right, I'm done here at hell, you done here at
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 3: noon today and I don't have anything else do the
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 3: rest of that, I don't watch a movie.
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 2: That is the movie? All right? Do me a favorite
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 2: and I will text you and remind you. Okay, that's imperative. Yeah,
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 2: I know it is, because you're you forget You don't
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 2: know what I said thirty seconds ago. I Oh, my
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 2: brain is a crazy thing. So I'm gonna text you
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 2: a little later and you're gonna go watch Invincible and
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 2: you tell me that is not a great movie. Right there?
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: What a forty eight handler said? Mind that bird winning
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 2: margin was one of the largest ever. He should have
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: never have been fifty to one. He was ignored because
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 2: he came out of the Sunland Derby. Uh not one
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 2: of the glamour preps. And see I love that. I
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 2: hate tell you. I've never even heard of the Sunland Derby.
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 2: Patrick texted, uh, it will be a dome in Nashville. Okay,
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 2: you're right, then, I didn't. I didn't know that. But
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 2: not like a doom dome, but sort of like uh
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 2: a Sofi stadium in California where it's partially well wait
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 2: a minute, what does that mean? I thought, so they
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 2: have it? Does dome it up though? It opens and closes?
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 2: Is that right that?
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know, but I know a lot of the
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 3: sides of the stadium are open. It's just designed in
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 3: a way where rain can't get in it.
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, think I love so Far. I think
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: it's gorgeous. Yeah, I've got to go there one time.
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I watched it being built because that's when my
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 2: oldest son was going out to Pepperdine and it's right
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 2: next to LAX where you're flying to and you'd see
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 2: the stadium being built. It's kind of cool. Uh. Moby
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 2: diabate transferring to LSU with Will Wade. What do you
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 2: think of that? Good? Good luck?
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: It's almost like he would have been better to stay
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: at UK. Yeah, am I right about that? Aman Yelovich,
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: I'm convinced of Yeah.
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't fully understand that all right, before
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 2: we go, I did one to talk about this. What
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 2: do you think about Bryson de Shamba? He said, if
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 2: they want him to re sign with Live, do you
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 2: know how much he wants for his resigning eight hundred million?
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 2: You're close, it's five hundred million dollars. He's not gonna get.

  Speaker 2: knowing that they won't give it to him. But you
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 2: never know, so why not ask for it? I think

  Speaker 2: person to say it. I'm so sorry. So I wanted
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 2: to because you know, when I say it, the opposite happens.
