  Speaker 1: Welcome to Just the Cats with Michael Bennett.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Hello, Big Blue Nation. Welcome to Just the Cats. My
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: name is Michael Bennett on this Thursday, October 22nd. I
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: hope everybody's having a great day so far as my
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: good friend is going to get a haircut right now.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: You know, we were just talking. Good morning, Justin.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: How are you? Good morning.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: I'm confused.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: We were just talking about my buddy has his horse
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: racing today.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Mike Snyder?
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: He just texted me. I'm listening, Michael. What about the haircut?
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: He's getting a haircut, right? Well, he was listening on
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: his way to go get a haircut. See, that's why
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: I'm confused, because I thought you were talking about me.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: No. I'm in desperate need of a haircut. I would agree.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Worse than I've ever maybe needed one in my life.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Probably need a shower, too.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Nah, I think I'm good on that case. I'm just kidding.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: But no, I'm scheduled to get a haircut this... Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, see,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I missed mine. I was confused.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I missed mine week before last. I normally get one
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: once a month, and I wasn't in town. I was
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: up in New York, so I didn't get to get one.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: So I'm kind of disappointed about that. I don't think
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: I've had one since April.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: What? Yeah. Really?
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: I could not go that long.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Well, because I do the whole buzz my head thing
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: in the summer. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: I couldn't go that long. So, yeah. So, Mike Snyder,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: he heard us talking about him a couple minutes ago
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: when I was being rude.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: What up, Mike?
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. I wasn't really trying to be. It's just like,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I got other things I got to do. I can't
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: ride with you. He understood. But it's like, oh, the
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: way I said it was just so rude.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I would agree. Yeah, it was.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: I fully admit it. I readily admit it. And I'm sorry,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Mike Snyder. It's not that I love riding with him.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I've been trying to figure out how can I change
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: my schedule and ride with him because I love riding
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: with him. Because we've been friends, good Lord. I bet
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: you 40 years.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: We've known each other since high school. So but but
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I'm a little older than him. He's a great guy. No,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Mike's a good guy. So I always like it, especially
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: because we like talking horses. That's all we'll talk about
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: is just horses. So, yeah, there you go.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: No, don't y'all don't delve into life. A little bit.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: We talk about our families a little bit because I've
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: watched his kids grow up and he's watched mine grow up.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: If you wanted to have a conversation about life, I
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: would like to know where you would start. If you
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: and I are sitting there by ourselves not talking to
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: anybody else like we're doing right now, what would be
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: the first thing you would want to talk about as
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: far as life?
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I'd be curious about your favorite memories as a kid.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Maybe your earliest memories as a kid.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Ooh, really?
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: So you want that kind of life. Yeah, I mean,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: let's just start at the bottom and work our way up.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: How long is this conversation going to go, by the way?
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: However you want it. However long you want it to go. Well,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: you know me.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I don't like talking about myself.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: That's true. Yeah. They can talk about me. I love
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: talking about myself. Okay, there you go.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: We can talk about you. That's an interesting question. What's
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: my favorite first memory?
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Probably.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Probably Christmas with my mom and dad and my family
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: are some of my favorite ones. I remember as a
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: little kid, we went to Mexico City for Christmas.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's awesome. Which was kind of weird. Really?
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Do you want to be away from home in a
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: hotel room?
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Especially somewhere warm?
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Well, okay, it was warm. Yeah, we went to Acapulco
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: and all this kind of stuff. But, I mean, is
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: that what you would like to do? I like being
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: at home for Christmas. Home is for the holidays. Isn't
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: that the famous line from a commercial?
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: And I don't know. It didn't work very well because
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: I don't remember what the commercial is.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Do you? Hallmark? Is it Hallmark?
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I have no idea.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because it is kind of cool. It's a coffee
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: commercial where the guy hasn't been home in a long time.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: What's the phrase again?
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Home is for the holidays. Are you looking it up?
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I am.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, good. So I don't know. There's that one famous
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: coffee commercial where the guy comes home and he's making
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: coffee and his little sister wakes up and she's all
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: excited he's home. You ever see the videos of the
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: military guys that come home and they go see their kids?
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: It always brings a tear to my eye. So I'm
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: not seeing anything for coffee.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But the first one that does pop up is Hallmark.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: It is Hallmark. Okay. I think you're right. It's Hallmark.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Toyota, Sears, Samsung. Bed, bath, and beyond.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Bed, bath, and beyond?
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: They've all used it, yeah. Oh, they have?
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: It's a very popular Christmas phrase.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Well, see, that would probably... What would be your first
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: memory growing up then?
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, man.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Um... I mean, mine's a bad one, to be honest
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: with you.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Ew. Yeah, I don't really want to share that one.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, let's not talk about that. No, no, I want
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: the good stuff, not the bad stuff.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, my earliest memories are, we used to go
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: to Holiday World every summer.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Ah, I like this.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: We never did the whole, I might be the only
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: kid in the world that never got to go to Disney.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: disney world yeah but so we never did that but
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: we did go to holiday world every summer that was
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: always a good time yeah those were fun memories yeah
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: see going uh going to disney world my mom and
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: dad took me a few times and i remember one
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: of the first times there was a super tramp song
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: that was really popular at the time it's like oh

• 5:40
  Speaker 1: it was Uh, right off that I don't, it wasn't
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: the long way home, but it's from that same album.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Goodbye stranger. Okay.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Um, yeah, yeah. I'll look it up in a couple
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: of minutes and I'll be able to tell you. So, uh,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: but yeah, those are my favorite memories are with my
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: mom and dad. And then growing up, that is. And
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: then the older I got, obviously my favorite memories are
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: with Patricia. And then obviously with the Bullies. And I
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: can tell you distinct memories. I was thinking this morning
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: about the first time I met Patricia. I don't know
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: why I was thinking about that. And I just started
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: thinking about it.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I know why.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: It's because it was about this time of year that
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: I first met Patricia down in Nashville, Tennessee.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: You know what I was thinking about this morning?
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Let me hear.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Who hasn't texted my show in a while? We're a
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: little different. Really? Okay.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I know. The closer you get to my age,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: you might be remembering stuff like that.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Who hasn't texted your show? Let's call him out right now. Oh,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I already called him out. Oh, you did call him out.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Specifically PRTG. I don't know what happened to him, but
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: he's been AWOL. Podcast Random Thoughts guy has been gone
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: for a while.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: A minute.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: And he hasn't texted me either.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: No. Mr.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Lexington has not been texting me. He's texting you, but
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: he's not texting me. I think he's mad at me.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: He's probably done with the whole Michael Bennett experience. He
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: doesn't want the gibberish. I mean, yeah. He's probably already
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: is like, oh, here comes Mr. Gibberish right now. I
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: can't take it. So I hope the guy knows I'm
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: only kidding. It made me laugh when he said all
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: the gibberish. But does that mean that I'm teasing back
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: or not?
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think so. You're laughing. But I
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: also know you a lot better than the listeners do. Okay.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Then I'm teasing.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Correct. Yeah. Yeah, you're never serious.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, very few times am I serious. Yeah. Because my
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: wife was even trying to get me to be serious
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: last night. I've had some bad dreams recently. And I'm
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: not kidding. I mean, I dreamed last night I was
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: shooting Target with a murderer. How do you like that?
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Explain that dream, please. It was the weirdest dream.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: You've been watching scary movies or something?
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: I have not watched a scary thing at all. Unlike
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Corey Price, it probably is because he always has his
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: list of points.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, maybe that's it. Maybe you're running across his scary
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: movie list every day. No. And it just brings bad
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: things into your brain.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: No, I don't think it's any of that. Because this
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: time of year, I do like watching the haunted hospitals.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: And I haven't watched any of that. You ever watch
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: that show where, uh, they have haunting experiences and they
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: go look for hauntings. I love that kind of stuff.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: I never, I don't believe in any of it. And
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: I think they're just making the stuff up, but I
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: love that kind of stuff.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I did watch, I stopped me and the roommate started
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: watching a, uh, prison experience experiment yesterday oh i saw
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the previews.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Of that okay i have to hear how was.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: It it's i mean it's okay it's oh really it's
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: it's not what i thought it was going to be
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: i was expecting more like unlocked if you've ever seen
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: unlocked yes where they open the doors and just let
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: the inmates just police themselves yeah that's what i was
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: kind of expecting but it's all these just random people
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: and some are given the title of guard some are
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: given prisoner and I don't know. They've got to try
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: to figure out ways to work together. It's been a
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: little slow so far, but I think we've only watched
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: two or three of them.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, two or three?
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would be done. I mean, it's interesting. I
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: saw the previews to that, and I'm like, oh, that
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: looks really interesting. The way you just described it, it's like, yeah,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: I'm not interested anymore. I'm not a good salesman. So
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: check it out for yourself. You've already sold me not
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: to watch it.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: No, it's good. I think you're a really good salesman
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: right there. If I didn't think it was good, Michael,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't go finish the rest of it. And I
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: will definitely finish the rest. Oh, you will. Okay.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: The one I'm disappointed Netflix hasn't come back is the
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: race for the crown.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: That's the one I think everybody was going crazy for. Yeah.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: And it's like, they say they're coming back with another one,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: but I haven't seen anything. They should do one with
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: the lead up to Breeders. Well, that would be great.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: That would really be good. Yeah, but everybody's, you're right,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: do one for Breeders, but then follow up with Derby.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: How did the two-year-old juvenile race go and compete for
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: the Triple Crown? So follow that right there because you're
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: going to have big horses. And typically the ones that
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: win Breeders' Cup two-year-olds do not do well within the
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Triple Crown. They do okay. But anyway.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Breeders' is next Saturday, right? Yeah.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Breeders' Cup weekend starts a week from tomorrow. And you
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: got races all day Friday at Keeneland and all day Saturday.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Because, you know. Is that why Kentucky's on a bye
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: that week or is that just, it's that out?
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: That is exactly why.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah. It should be that way.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is a big, big racing day for
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: all of racing and it's in Lexington on top of
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: it all. They should not have any games in, uh,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: in Lexington. Cause that would just be too, too much
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: of a distraction.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Sure. I just didn't know if it just fell that
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: way luckily or if.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: They planned that. No, they definitely had. I don't know
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: for certain, but I got to believe they planned it
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: that way. All I know is I'm ready to watch
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: my boy dominate. Who's that?
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: You know who that is. Sovereign.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay. You want Sovereign to do well.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: He's going to win.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Not only will he do well, he's going to win.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: You're a big fan of his trainer?
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Who's his trainer?
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: See, I knew you wouldn't know.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Bill Mudd. Great guy. Sovereignty.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about CBS Sports reporting yesterday that UK basketball
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: spent more than $ 20 million for its current roster.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Here we go again.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: How so?
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: That was the whole thing last year. This roster was
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: $ 22 million and we stink. Yeah.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: But that is a little scary, isn't it? Because the
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: potential is there that they will stink. And you're spending
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: all this money, and you're not getting great results. Yeah,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: but everybody spent more this year. I almost guarantee you that.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: The U.K.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Is one of 11 teams that spent above that number.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: There's only 11?
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: It's only 11 that spent more than $ 20 million. So
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: you're surprised by that.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: I am, yeah.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: All right, let me go through the list of all
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: the teams that spent over $ 20 million.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Are you ready?
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Texas Tech, Illinois. North Carolina, St. John's, Texas, Florida, Duke, UofL, Tennessee,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: and Michigan.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Hmm. No, Kansas wasn't on there?
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Didn't have Kansas on there.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: How are they spending less than $ 20 when they gave
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Tyron $ 6? Yeah, no. That doesn't make sense.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: I'm just going through the entire list, and that's the
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: entire list.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Hmm.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: So, and that's the ones they listed. So here's where
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: I'm surprised though. I'm really surprised by Texas Tech in Illinois.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: I'm not. Oh, you're not? No. They're typically not one.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Of those kind of schools to be successful at basketball.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: They're just kind of mid-level, I would say.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: I would agree with Texas Tech, but they also have
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: a ton of money. They poured a bunch of money
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: into football this year. So I'm not surprised at all
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: to hear that they did the same with basketball. I mean,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: heck JT Toppin was probably what? 5 million at least. Right.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: And then that dude's not even healthy, which that's probably
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: going to be a blessing for Kentucky tomorrow. But yeah,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not surprised that Texas tech spending that
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: amount of money in Illinois. I mean, They've got basically
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: the exact same team that they had last year that
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: was really, really good. I mean, they still got all
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: those international guys. Yeah.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: So that doesn't surprise me at all. Well, I guess
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: I'm surprised by the football schools. And when I say
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: football schools, I'm talking Texas, Florida, Tennessee, and Michigan.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: I was about to say, hopefully you're not throwing Illinois
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: in that.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: No, I'm not throwing Illinois. And all I want to
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: do is say Illinois. Every time I see the state Illinois,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: it's like it's spelled Illinois.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Illinois.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: It just frustrates me. Okay, so I know that. I
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: know it does. But Texas, Florida, Florida especially. Tennessee is
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: spending that kind of money on basketball now?
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, look at the roster.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It's the same thing as Illinois. Like, you just
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: got a bunch of guys that have been around for
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: a number of years. You're going to reward them. Florida, Duke.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: What are you going to do?
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: If they were to play right now, let's just go
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: ahead and say, hey, the championship's going to be between
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Florida and Duke. Who are you picking? Because you saw
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Duke play the other night against Tennessee, and it wasn't
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: even close.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so, I mean, honestly, I don't feel like it's
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: fair answering this question because I haven't seen Florida yet.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: But from what I saw out of Duke.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, there you go.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You're right. You're right.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: That's not fair. You've got to go see Florida. Florida's
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: going to be good. Florida is huge. Yeah.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Whereas Duke playing, who did they even play the other Tennessee? Tennessee.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Tennessee's got some size, but not Florida size. Okay.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: I got you.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: I think that'd be a fun game.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Are you surprised? Michigan is up there, especially with the
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: departure of a dusty man.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: I am surprised. Michigan's up there. Yeah. Yeah. I was too.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: It's like, wow, man, that's, that's, uh, Mike Boynton took over, uh,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: as the, what's that?
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: I was just looking up who their coach. Yeah.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Mike Boynton jr. And, uh, he took over and, and
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: evidently he's still got it going on there. So, uh,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Dusty may gone and, uh, for them to, to continue
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: to spend that kind of money. And then, uh, I
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: don't remember where they were ranked. I know they were
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: ranked fairly high. Weren't they Michigan?
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Top 15. I think it was what it was, but, uh, Uh, I,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: I'm not surprised by St.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: John's.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: I'm not surprised by a UNC, uh, clearly Duke, uh,
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: not surprised by U of L, but I was rather
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: surprised by, um, the, the teams I just mentioned. I, I,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: I hear you, what you say about Texas tech, but I'm,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: I didn't know Illinois would be paying this kind of
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: money for their basketball. I mean, when you think Illinois,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: do you think them as a football or a basketball school?
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Basketball. Oh, really? No question.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Okay, I don't think of them as either one. I
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: hate to say it.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know that they've ever had success in football. Hmm.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: I can't answer that either. By the way, what?
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Michigan's 16. Oh, they are.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Okay, I was thinking right around the top 15, so
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: I was pretty close right there. SEC leads all conferences
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: with spending. How do you like that? I was surprised
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: by that as well. The average of spending per team
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: in the SEC.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Are you ready for this? And we're talking about teams
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: that just a minute ago that are spending $ 20 million
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: or more. The average spending in the SEC, are you ready,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: is $ 17. 3 million per team.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: I believe that.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: All 16 teams spent at least $ 10 million. Wow. Go
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Mississippi State. How do you like that? Well, go Mississippi State.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: I guess you're right about that. They spent over $ 10 million.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Ole Miss as well, because those would be the two
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: teams I would say that wouldn't spend much. South Carolina did.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Missouri?
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think of them as basketball at all.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Here's the other part. Who do you think was second
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: behind the SEC in spending? Which conference?
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: ACC.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: That's what I would have thought.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Probably Big Ten, though. Nope. Really?
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Big East.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Really? Think about it.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: They don't have football. Oh, that's so they're spending all
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: that money in basketball. So it makes you think logically
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: it makes all kinds of sense.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: As I told you a minute ago, the SEC is
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: averaging 17.3 million dollars per team.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: The Big East.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: 13.6.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Look at that gigantic difference right there. I mean, but
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: that makes sense, right? Because the SEC is from top
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: to bottom. It's a much better basketball conference, whereas. But
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: the Big East, you've got UConn, you've got St. John's.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: They're going to carry that conference. They probably spent more
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: than anybody by a long shot. You think Georgetown and
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: DePaul and schools like that are going out and spending
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: a ton of money on basketball? Probably not.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Probably not, but they used to. I mean, look at
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: the teams they used to have back in the 80s,
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: especially Georgetown. I mean, and now they don't have that anymore.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's just when John Thompson was there, Georgetown
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: was just rolling with great basketball teams. All right, we've
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: got to take a break. When we come back, I
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: want to finish how the conference is rounded out because
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: you're going to be surprised where some of these rank
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: between how much they're spending. average per team. I mean,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: it was surprising to me, and I definitely want to
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: talk about it today. 502-384-1450. You want to call in 502-414-1450.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: You want to text in on the Whiskey Thief text line,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: or you can tweet me at JustTheCatRadio. We'll get to
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: your texts as soon as we get back. Stay right there.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: We've got a long way to go on Just The Cats.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: It's not close quarters, it will make me snap. It's
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: just a feeling with the daily on a different track.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: Thank you. Well, the first days are the hardest days.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Don't you worry anymore.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Cause when life looks like easy street, there is danger
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: at the door.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Can I just say, on a little bit of a
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: chilly morning, there's nothing more relaxing than hearing some steel
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: drums right there. I don't disagree. Yeah. There is something
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: about the steel drums that just like, oh, I'm ready.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: You know what is disappointing? What's that? When I play
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Buffett on Thursdays and then I put up the
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: YouTube stream and I take a glance over and you're
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: not singing the song. Oh, really? I feel like, because
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: more times than not, when I'm playing Jimmy, you're singing it.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, I can see your mouth over there in
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: that other studio moving. So I feel like when I
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: play one and you don't sing it, it's not a
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: good one. Oh, that's not true.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: See, that's a cover song you just played. That's Uncle
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: John's band. And Jimmy Buffett did not, that's not one
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: of his original songs. So I don't know that one
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: as much. But that's a Grateful Dead song.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Who knew?
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's probably why. I was just never a
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: big Grateful Dead fan. I know people are going to
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: go nuts in how much they love Grateful Dead and
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: how people would travel literally across the country going from
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: show to show to go see the Deadheads.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: And that's where... Timothy B. Schmidt.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Are you ready for this? I'm going to give you
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: a little, I'll give you a little life lesson here.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Timothy B.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Schmidt, who you don't know, he used to be the
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: lead singer for Poco. And then he was also in
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Buffett's band for a time being.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Now, Timothy B.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Schmidt is also widely known as the bass player and
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: singer in the Eagles.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: One of his famous songs was I Can't Tell You Why.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: If you go listen to that, you're like, oh. So
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: when the Eagles were on hiatus because Don Henley couldn't
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: get along with Glenn Frey, Timothy B. Schmidt went and
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: played bass for Jimmy Buffett. And so they go to Cincinnati,
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: and they're doing a concert at Kings Island in Cincinnati.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: This is how long this dates back.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: And Timothy B. Schmidt was talking about how all these
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: people dress up in certain ways, and they're in island attire,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: and they look ridiculous having a great time. He goes, yeah,
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: it's kind of like deadheads, except these people are parrot heads.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: And that's where the whole genesis of the term parrot
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: head came from. So instead of being dead heads, after
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: the Grateful Dead, they're parrot heads. There you go.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: How about that? Learn from them every day. Yeah.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: So you just played Uncle John's Band, which was originally
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: a dead head song, a Grateful Dead song. So I
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: don't know the words to that one as much, but yeah.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: All right, I'll forgive you. No, yeah, I don't want
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: you to be upset. Please don't be upset because, no,
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: it's not that I don't. Sometimes I don't want to
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: sing it because I want to hear them. So, yeah,
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: I'd rather hear them than me. You don't want your
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: voice to drown it out. Well, I don't want my
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: voice to be on the radio, okay? I don't turn
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: your mic on. Okay, good. Well, I appreciate you doing that.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Let's get to the Whiskey Thief text line, 502-414-1450. John
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: here just wanted to say, Michael, that we are getting
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: closer to basketball and football action for our cats this week,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: and I am surprisingly excited about the opportunity to watch both.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Do you feel the same?
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: I am still holding the faith that football will finish
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: strong and basketball will be exciting. Both programs can and
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: will do something special for BBN this season. Yes, to
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: answer your question, I am excited about both. I mean,
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: I think I said it yesterday, didn't I? This, to me,
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: is one of the funnest times of the year because
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: you've got football going on. Still have baseball going on.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: You got NBA going on. You got college basketball going on.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: You got volleyball on top of it all. We'll talk
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: about that in a few minutes. But, yes, I mean,
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: how can you not get excited when you have all
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: these different sports going on at the same time?
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Isn't it a little overwhelming, though?
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: It is because it's hard to keep up with what's
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: going on.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's definitely overwhelming. Of your choice choosing, what are
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: you watching first? And then you got hockey going on.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: I'm leaving out hockey as well. That's the thing.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Way too much.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: As much as I love this time of the year,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: there's almost too much going on. It's overstimulating, in other words.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: I want to be continuing to lock in on football,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: whether that's college, whether that's NFL. That's where my mind
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: is right now. But... I also know that NCAA basketball
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: is on the horizon. I've obviously been taking in some
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: of those exhibition games, so I've enjoyed those. I've been
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: watching NBA the last two nights. I've gotten to a
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: point where I haven't watched any hockey. I haven't watched
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: college volleyball in months, it feels like. Those are two
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: of my favorite things to watch, and I just simply
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: don't have time for them.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: One person said, this Thursday night football game seems interesting
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: with the Bears at home led by Williams and a
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Patriots team that is finding some winning ways again. I
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: wonder if Drake and Brown will connect for a TD
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: as I'm looking at touchdowns tonight. This bet comes courtesy
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: of DraftKings themselves. Throw it with the profit boost they
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: are offering and you have a chance to make some cash.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: $ 10 can turn into, oh my gosh, are you serious?
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: $ 10 can turn into $ 322?
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: A lot.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Wow. So you said you had a pick last night.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, turned $ 1 to $ 35. It was great.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: You turned $ 1 into $ 35. All right, tell me what
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: the bet was and how you won that much money.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: So I had a 12-leg parlay with just NBA players.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Holy cow. I just took them. So they got combos, like, right,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: with points, rebounds, and assists.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: So I just took 12 players to go over a number,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: and they all hit. It was great. I was up
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: until 11 o'clock watching NBA.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: And now you're regretting it today.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: No, I got a Red Bull. I'm fine. Good for you.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, you got the Red Bull.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: And it's Thursday. Okay, good.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Zach texted in opinions on that game last night. I
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: assume he's talking about UofL Kansas. Yeah, did you watch
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: any of it? I did watch it, yeah. Because I
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: watched it when Kansas was up, and then as soon
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: as Kansas started losing that lead, I turned it off.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: I'm just kidding. No, I watched it. UofL looked good
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: last night.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: They did, yeah.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's not a bad Kansas team. It's not
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: one of their better ones. Yeah, they were very underwhelming.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: And especially if Tyron Stokes plays like that. I was
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: getting ready to say.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: He was not great. But it's easy to see that.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: He can be great. He's got the body for it. Oh, absolutely.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Think about it.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: That's probably no probable about it. That is his biggest
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: game he's ever played in right there, even though it's
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: an exhibition game. That's still the biggest game. He's never
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: played with athletes like that before. Right.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: And in front of a crowd like that. Exactly. Exactly.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: So Kansas was really into that game.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: That was fun. I see.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: I like these matchups exhibition game. I think it makes
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: it fun because nobody wants to go out there and
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: watch Kansas play some no name team or UofL play
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: some no name team. Same thing for Kentucky. I'm excited
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: about their game tomorrow night versus Texas Tech. We'll talk
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: about more of that tomorrow.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Did you know Alabama and Auburn play an exhibition game tonight?
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Are you kidding me?
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Why? Why are they doing that? I don't get it.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: But that's kind of fun though.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: But why are you playing a conference game as an
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: exhibition game? They'll probably play. I haven't looked at the schedules,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: but I have to imagine they play twice this year already.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, probably so. But I mean, that's, it's kind of
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: a cheap way to not have to travel far, save
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: some money for the, like the athletic department needs to
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: save money, but I kind of like it.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Well, apparently, so they're doing it because, well, the attendance revenue,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: here's where I have a really big issue with it. Okay.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: The attendance revenue is going to be split between the
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: two schools for NIL.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, well, where's the game being played then? Is it
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: being played in Birmingham? It is somewhere in, bam, I
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: can't remember. Yeah, so it's not being played in Tuscaloosa.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: It's not being played in Auburn, Alabama. All right, see, now,
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: I like that then. So they're splitting the revenue to
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: each school. Now, it'd be better to me, forget the revenue.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: I would love that revenue to go towards a cause.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: No, see, here's my thinking. They are playing in Birmingham,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: by the way. Okay, there you go. Why are we
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: being cowards with this whole thing and saying, let's just
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: split the revenue? Be men. Put a bet on the
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: game and say whoever wins gets to keep the whole revenue.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't that make it so much more fun?
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't it make it so much more fun if all
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: the money went towards a cause that Alabama or Auburn
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: would like to give it towards? I would like that more. But, yeah,
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, put a little gamble on it. Auburn wouldn't
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: want to do that because they're not going to be
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: very good this year.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: All right, I'll amend it. The winner gets all the
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: attendance revenue towards their NIL, and the losing coach has
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: to donate a million dollars to whatever.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: I don't think. That would make it so much more fun.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: I don't think Bruce Pearl's son has that kind of money.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Well, Pops does.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he definitely does. I wish he would stop talking
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: about politics. I do. I just like, let's talk about sports.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: He wants to get into it. Yeah, he really does.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's overwhelming, but oh, my goodness. All right,
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Reff. I love that this guy's... I think it
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: was his birthday yesterday.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Oh, was it really? Maybe two days ago.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: Happy belated birthday, Jimmy Ref. Scoots, what does this say?
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: To ho, do you have... Who do you.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sorry.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: I see what it says now. It literally says the
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: number two and then HO behind it.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Two-ho. Yeah. I'll take two-ho, Jimmy Redd. Yeah.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, it sounds like a rapper name right there.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Two-ho?
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, that would be a great name. Kind of
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: like Tupac. Scoots, who do you have in the World Series?
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: I want Brewers for our Reds.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: No. I'm really torn. Oh, you are really? I am.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Because I really, as much as I should dislike the Brewers,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: because they are in the division with the Reds, for
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: whatever reason, I do like the Brewers. Yeah. And I
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: really also like the Tampa Bay Rays. I mean, they're
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: one of two stadiums in Major League Baseball that I've
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: been to. But the Rays are always constantly the underdog story. Yeah,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: they really are. I've got to cheer for the underdog here.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: I do think the Brewers have the advantage, but... I
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if Tampa wins. I'm cheering for Tampa Bay,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Jimmy ref.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Here's what I want to know. Cause you know, this
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: is kind of fun. One of neither of these teams
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: have won a world series. So now we're going to
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: have a team that gets there and gets to experience
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: their very first world series is the United States. As
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: far as major league baseball fans, are they interested in
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: this world series?
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: It's a great question. I mean, if you're a true
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: baseball fan, I would think you would be.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: I would think so, yes.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Just because it's a version of baseball you don't really
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: see all that often anymore. The small ball, you get
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: guys bunting and stealing. You get really the essence of
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: how baseball should be played. Absolutely.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Going to the bases. But for the casual fan. For
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: the casual fan, that's a boring way to baseball. Casual
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: fan wants to see a bunch of long bombs. They
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: want to see eight to seven type games. And I
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: just don't think with the pitching staffs of these two teams,
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: I don't think you're going to get that.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: It's going to be interesting to see what the viewership
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: is after the World Series.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's going to be horrible.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: You think so?
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, that stinks. Okay. I hate that because, you know,
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: I'm excited. Because my Rays are in it, and I
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: clearly want them to win.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's necessarily a knock on baseball, though.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: It kind of goes back to what I was just
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: saying about how there's just too much to watch right now. Yeah,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: absolutely there is. You got Kentucky and Texas Tech playing
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: an exhibition game on Friday night when Game 1 of
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: the World Finals. series is going on. Yeah, you're exactly correct.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: You've got high school football going on Friday night. Heck
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: you've got college, other college football games happening on Friday.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: So it just, there's too much. And it, it's hard
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: to prioritize what you want to watch.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: Over what, and then I always forget that you got
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: Thursday night football and you got the Patriots as you know, uh,
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: John was saying a couple of minutes ago, versus the Bears,
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: which is a pretty good game.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not bad.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's two, four, and two teams, so one
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: is going to get a little better and the other
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: one's not. And honestly, I don't know who would win
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: this game. I mean, I guess the Bears have a
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: little bit of an advantage because it's at home.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Duh, Bears.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I do miss that. That was funny.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Bears winning for Ditka tonight. Oh, that's a great point. Yes.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: They should win for Mike Ditka.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: But I don't know why. Well, yeah, I think I do.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: My dad had a buddy that he grew up with
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: from Nashville, Tennessee, that was quarterback for the Bears back
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: in the 50s. Wow. So he was a Bears fan.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: And so I think I kind of adopted the Bears
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: to a degree. So I root for them for a
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: little bit.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: So I'll be rooting for the Bears. But I've never
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: disliked the Patriots.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Never?
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: No, I never have. I was always a Tom Brady fan.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Really? So you're not a big Tom
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Brady fan? No, I'm a big Tom Brady. I always
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: liked Tom Brady, but I don't know. When the Patriots
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: are winning all those Super Bowls, I hated seeing Bill
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Belichick with his sleeveless sweater on the sideline and that
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: ugly look on his face.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Or the cut-off hoodie that he would always wear.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I meant. Yeah, okay.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he would always cut off the sleeves. Why do
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: you look so ridiculous? All right, we've got to take
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: another break. Plus, we've got to get back to the
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: spending in the conferences. We'll talk about that, too.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Quirrell.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: I know, totally. It happens every stinking time. And what's
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: going on at local news? We've got to talk about that, too.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Craziness.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: This is really wild what's going on here in Louisville, Kentucky.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: If you haven't seen it, we'll talk about that as well.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: Stay right there. If you want to text in, come on.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: I want to hear from you.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: 502-414-1450.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: We'll see you in a minute. This is Justin Cash.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Goddamn, I declare.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Have you seen the light?
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: Their walls are built of cannonballs. Their motto is don't
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: tread on me.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Come here, Uncle John's bed, lay into the tide.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: Walls, windows, trees, waves coming through.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: You being me and I being you.
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: Together in eternity. Some kind of ecstasy's gotta.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Hold on me.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I just want this song to play the
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: entire way, okay?
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Can't do it.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: I know we can't do it, but I love this song.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: It's just like, come on, man. Because it's from the
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: soundtrack of Hoot. If you ever saw the movie Hoot
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: that Jimmy Buffett was.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: In, Luke Wilson. It was a hoot.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: That was a great movie. Trying to think who else
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: was in it, but Luke Wilson was the star in it.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: There was an old actor in it that was in
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: it as well, but it's a good movie.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: I liked it.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: But it's a movie about kids coming and saving the
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: day when they were trying to build some kind of
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: pancake house, of all things. And they had these rare
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: owls that were living in the land there. And they
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: stopped the construction and saved the owls. So it's a
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: good movie.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: It sounds terrible. I know.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: I'm butchering it up completely. But if you go watch it,
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: it's good. And Jimmy Buffett's in it for a little bit,
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: and he sings in the soundtrack.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: So.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: But no, I liked it.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Stop that.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: It sounds terrible.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: Geez. Based on a best-selling novel.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that was a best-selling novel, really. Okay.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: I'd rather read the novel. You would? Well, go read.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: Typically, I would say nine times out of ten, the
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: book is better than the movie.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd agree.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: For instance, I loved the movie Seabiscuit. Did you ever
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: see that one?
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: I don't think I did.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: About the racehorse.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: I know who Seabiscuit is.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: Okay, good. I will tell you the book, even though
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: I loved the movie, the book was a thousand times better.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: It just was. And majority of the time, that's the
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: way it is. I agree with that.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah. With the exception of my Indiana book I'm reading,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: the movie was so much better. Really? Book's good, but
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: the movie was so much better. Hoosiers? Yeah. No. So
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: I'm reading a book about Indiana's football championship season. Wasn't
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: really a movie. Oh, come on. Shut up.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: It was better than reading the book. That's not a movie.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: That's a big difference right there. Of course, the true
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: life story was a lot better.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: It's like, have you seen that State Farm Kurt Cignetti commercial, right?
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: I don't think I have.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Well, there's a part in it where he's like, I'm
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: watching my favorite movies. And it's game film up on
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: the TV. And Jake from State Farm is like, Coach,
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: that's not a movie. That's a great commercial right there. Oh,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: it's awesome, yeah. That's funny.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: All right, let's get back to the CBS Sports– uh,
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: report talking about, uh, all the money that's being spent here. So,
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: you know, I had said that the sec is averaging spending, uh,
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: per team is 17.3 million. Also said that, uh, the, uh,
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: big East is second with 13.6. Who do you think
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: is next after that? Cause you got left, you got
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: the big 10, the big 12 and the.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: ACC, uh, I mean, you've continued to throw me for
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: a loop on this, so I'm going to say Big 12. Oh, really?
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Okay, you would have been right with your own conference.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: Damn it. I know it.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: Big 10 is averaging $ 12. 7 million per team, and then
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: you got Big 12 or ACC. Who are you going with?
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: ACC.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: Yep, you're wrong.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. You missed it completely. I didn't get
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: a single one right. No, you didn't.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: And typically, you're spot on. I'm kind of surprised. But honestly,
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: I can't fault you for being wrong because I'm right
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: there with you. I would have sworn up and down
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: it would have been SEC– Big 10 right there with
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: each other. And then right after that, I would have
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: said ACC. But no, the Big 10, 12.7. Big 12
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: is 12.6. So not much of a difference right there.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: But then lastly, the ACC, $ 11.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: 9 million.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: So between the SEC 17.3 and the ACC 11.9, that's
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: a pretty big difference between those two conferences right there.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you also have to keep in mind, going
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: back to what I said earlier, the SEC from top
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: to bottom is very competitive. Whereas the ACC, Boston College
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: isn't spending but $ 6 million, $ 7 million maybe on their roster.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: I'm sure Syracuse is probably spending, but there's just a
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: lot of ACC teams that probably aren't pouring a bunch
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: of money into basketball.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: But back in the day, and it wasn't that long ago,
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: where the ACC was the dominating conference in basketball.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It's just like, what has happened? I still think
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: at the top they can be.
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: But that doesn't necessarily have to equate to dollar amounts. Now,
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: it did talk about Duke claiming to have the Duke discount.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: Have you heard about the Duke discount? I have not.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: Where they are getting players at a lower price due
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: to how the program operates. Do you believe Duke has
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: a Duke discount?
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: What does that mean based on how the program operates?
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: Well, that part they could not define. So I have
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: no idea. And I've looked everywhere to find out what
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: they mean, how they operate. I don't know. Other than
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: they're just claiming that they're getting players in here for
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: less money than other teams. So they're not paying as much. So, yes,
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: they're getting the top tier players, but they're not paying
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: what those players have been offered at other schools. I
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: need to know more. Well, that's what they're claiming. They're
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: getting these players for less money than where they're being
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: offered at other schools. And I find that hard to
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: believe because we talked about this win. Was it yesterday
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: or earlier this week? Whereas what is the number one
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: thing an athlete looks for when they're looking at and
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: considering schools? What do you think? Is it the school?
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: Is it the program?
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: Is it the historical side of it when it comes
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: to that respective sport? Or is it the money?
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, when it comes to Duke, I think that
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: speaks for itself. It's Duke.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: So Kentucky, you would say the same thing then?
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: And what has happened there? Why are all these players
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: not coming to Kentucky and they're going to the likes
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: of Duke, Arkansas, Michigan, Florida? What's going on at Kentucky?
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: What is the difference in your mind?
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's the same take I've had for a
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: couple of years now, and I don't I don't like
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: voicing this, but I don't know. It's something about Mark Pope.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: And see, I'm right there with you. He's... I don't know.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: I don't really want to say anything else because I
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: don't have any insight. I don't have any insight. Yeah,
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: but you have an opinion, and I'm asking for your opinion.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: I don't want to sit here and speculate. I mean,
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: I just think Mark Pope's kind of a weird guy.
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: He's different. Yeah. And see, that's all I continue to
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: hear is that recruits do not... Here's a nice way
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: to say it. Crews do not relate to him. Without
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: saying he's weird or he's odd or he's different, just
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: say they don't relate. And I think they relate to
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: Todd Golden. I think they relate to John Shire. Because
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: they're younger. I think that is the difference. And when
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: you don't relate with somebody you're going to be coached by,
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: it's like, I don't care how much money you offer me.
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: I'm not really interested. If it's going to be close guys,
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: you know what? I'm going to the other coach that
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: I relate with better. And I think that's your difference.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: Am I wrong to say that?
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: No, I mean, I'm right there with you. You are?
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: Okay, good.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: Because, I mean, look at– Will Stein's a perfect example
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: of that. Like, Kentucky football 6-1 because he's young. Yes.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: And I feel like the players can relate to him better.
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: Forget the young side because I think you could be
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: older and still relate. Once you relate with that coach,
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: then you want to be a part of that program.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: And I think that's the biggest difference. Age does help.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: You're right.
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: But I think it's relating to him. And the contagious side.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: You know, we talked about Will Stein and everybody talking
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: about how contagious his personality and energy is. And they're
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: just not feeling that in basketball. And that bothers me.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: Best way I can describe it is Will Stein is
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: probably able to use skibity in a sentence.
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: Whereas....
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: Mark Pope's still stuck in the past, and he's doing
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: the whole 6-7 when it's like, Mark, 6-7's kind of gone.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: You got to move on and learn the new genetics.
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's still dancing to the Macarena, okay? Maybe that's
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: what we need to talk about. I hated that, okay?
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: And I hate the word hate, the whole Macarena thing.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, I loved it. Did you really?
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh. Please, no. That's the last thing I
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: need to hear.
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: We're going to get back to your text as soon
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: as we get back.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: 502-414-1450. Stay right there.
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: We got all what's happening in Louisville media. We'll talk
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: about that as well. Stay right there. Hour two of
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: Just the Cats coming right up.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: We'll be right back.
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: The huge iron flying boat rises off the big thousand-year-old petroglyphs.
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: Doing a double take on a finger at eternity. Sitting
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: here in the middle of this ecstasy.
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: Welcome to Just the Cats with Michael Bennett. All right,
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: hour number, I almost said hour number four. It's like, no,
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: we're not doing hour four. We're doing hour two right now.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: There is no Spears today. We can go three if
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: you want.
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, seriously?
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: Why is there no Spears today? They're on a golf trip.
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: He can't do the show on a golf trip?
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: Nah.
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: Wow, okay.
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: He should take it a couple days off. They deserve it.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: You know, they work hard for an hour each day.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: An hour each day. Yeah, that's hard work. Wow.
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: Man, that must be nice. I wish I was working
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: an hour each day. But no, good for them.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: You're right. Good for them.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: So I don't have any issue with it. But I
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: do want to ask you this, though. Do you think
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: people have manners anymore? And think about that for a second.
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: Because I was walking out of a local convenience store yesterday.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: And there was a lady coming. And I decided to
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: hold the door for her.
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: And she just smiled like, I don't know if she
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: smiled like that in years, but she just, she kept saying, oh,
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: thank you. You're so nice. You're such a gentleman. Just
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: kept going on and on and on. Made her feel good.
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: And it seems more times than not, when I hold it,
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: and it doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman,
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: people always smile when you hold the door for them.
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: It's probably been one time that somebody didn't smile or
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: say thank you or something like that. And so, Do
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: you think people have lost their manners today?
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: No. No, I don't. Has there been a decline from
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: what it was 30, 40 years ago? Sure. Yeah. But no,
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: I still think for the most part when... When you're
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: in a spot where you can use good manners, I
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: think people more times than not choose to do so.
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: Because I envision you as that same type of person, too.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: You probably hold the door for people.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Yeah.
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: And people always appreciate that.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you're right. I mean, 95% of the time,
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: I would say, I get a thank you or whatnot,
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: appreciate you, something along those lines. But then I'm also
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: the type of person where, despite me not liking controversy,
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: if I hold the door for somebody and they don't
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: say anything, I'll hit them with the sarcastic, you're welcome.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: And I'm the same way, yes! I love it.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: That you're that way, because I did it for a
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: young teenage girl not too long ago. And she just
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: walked on through, and I looked at her and said,
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: you're welcome. I mean, it's not hard to say that. Yeah.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I know. It really isn't. It's not hard
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: to smile. It's two syllables. And it's not hard to
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: smile either. I don't need a smile, but I need
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: a thank you. But you know what?
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: More times than not, when I smile at somebody, they
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: smile right back at me. And I think people like that.
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: Here's where I love doing it is in New York City.
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: You go to people, they don't know how to react.
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: They really do not know if you're being mean-spirited or
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: you're being a pleasant person.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: See, I don't often smile at people like that. Oh,
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: I do. Because I feel like it's forced. Most of
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: the time, if I'm smiling at somebody, I feel like
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: it's just fake. No. I don't ever really want to
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: be fake. Okay.
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: I told a lady the other day how pretty she was.
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: And a person told me, Michael, you can't do that anymore.
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: It's like, why not? I'm complimenting them.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: Women still want to hear that. Give me a break.
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: But she told me, yeah, there's women out there that
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: do not want to hear that. They think it's condescending.
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: It's like, what are you talking about? You want me
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: to tell you you're ugly? Well, I was with a
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: young lady the other day.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: I said she was probably in her early 30s. I said,
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: you're very attractive. I said, no, let me take that back.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: You're very pretty.
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: And she looked at me and says, no, I'm not.
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: I said, she sure did. I said, don't you ever
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: say that you're a beautiful young lady. And I think
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: she appreciated it.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: No confidence. Oh, my gosh.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: Well, I had a girl. I'll give you another example.
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: I was at a coffee place going through the drive-thru
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: out by Churchill Downs over the summer. And I told
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: this lady, I said, I could tell she was having
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: a rough day. I said, are you okay? She goes, yeah,
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: most people aren't being really nice to me. I said, well,
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. I'm going to be nice to
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: you right now. And I hope you have a great day.
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: And she says, yeah. I've had a tough time. I
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: haven't done a great job at my job. I haven't
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: enjoyed Louisville. I'm probably going to move back out to Arizona.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: I'm really disappointed about this. I said, you just keep
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: trying harder. You'll get it done. And not only that,
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: you're an attractive young lady. I can tell you're going
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: to be successful. And she started tearing up. I'm like, oh,
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: my gosh, please don't be that way. I said, you
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: just need to gain your confidence. I had a little
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: chit-chat with her. And then next thing she goes, she goes, well,
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: you know, today's your birthday. I said, no, it's not.
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: She goes, it is today because you're getting a free coffee.
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: And evidently when you say it's your birthday, you get
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: a free coffee at this place. So, yeah. So anyway,
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: I just broke my heart. It's just like, I can't
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: have it when people are upset.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: You know, speaking of birthdays. Yes. What I learned a
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: week ago when it was my birthday. Right. There is no,
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: they don't check anything. You can go to whatever restaurant
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: you want and be like, today's my birthday. And they're
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: going to be like, oh, what free dessert do you want?
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: Nobody asked me for my license to prove that it
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: was my birthday.
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: I bet they check at a strip club. Well, good
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: thing I don't frequent strip clubs. Exactly. I should not
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: have said that. I'm so sorry. One person, I can
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: hear a five-year-old mom, what's a strip club? One person
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: texted in, too much stuff going on? Scooch, you need
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: to take Daryl Singletary's advice. Too much fun? There's no
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: such thing.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: No, I get it. I'm right there with Daryl Singletary, but...
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: It's just overwhelming. I just don't have enough time in
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: the day.
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: One person says, sounds like they need more owls in
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: Gatlinburg to prevent all the pancake houses from popping up.
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: Are there a ton of pancake houses in Gatlinburg?
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: You not been lately?
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: It's been years since I've been to Gatlinburg.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: There are a ton.
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, are there really?
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: Between Moonshine Tastings and pancake houses, you'll get your fill
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: in Gatlinburg. Hmm.
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: I always liked Gatlinburg. There was a candy store down there.
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: Is it called Old Smoky Mountain or Smoky Mountain Candy
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: or something like that?
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: That sounds right.
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: And they always have the homemade taffy that they're making? Oh,
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: And Gatlinburg's cool. It's just, it's gotten a little too
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: big for my liking. Has it really?
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: That's a bummer.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: It's just, I mean, everybody wants to go there.
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: It was, I remember we would always go for the
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: UK-Tennessee game because it was always the last game of
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: the year. And that was typically what Thanksgiving weekend or
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: the weekend before. And so that was the start of
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: official start of Christmas. And it was always fun. I
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: enjoyed that. So, yeah, I love I have fond memories
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: of Gatlinburg. One person said, how much is the ACC
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: pulled down by B.C.? Exactly.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: That is a great point. Has Joker spent like eight
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: million dollars on football?
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: Whoa, really?
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: Is that all?
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah. They're one of the lowest in the country, aren't they?
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: I think they were the lowest. They were the lowest,
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: $ 8 million. So they're not even trying at football. I
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: don't know what they are trying at because it seems
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: like they stink at everything. If they're paying that in football,
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: what would you estimate they're playing in basketball because there's
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: fewer players?
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: Five.
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: That's what I would probably say. I'd be at cutting
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: it in half or being maybe just a little above it.
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: I still think five is too much. I think it's
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: probably around four.
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: They are being brought down by Boston College.
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: By the way, I do want to walk back my take.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: They don't stink at everything. They do have five championships
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: in hockey.
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're great at hockey. You're exactly correct. One person said,
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: NIL has leveled the playing field. You can't give Will
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: Stein's credit and not see the same thing going on
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: in the basketball fan base.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: You can't give Will Stein credit. And not see the
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: same thing going on in the basketball field. I don't understand. Well,
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: I don't agree, first of all. It's like, okay, the
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: playing field is getting level, but he's still not giving
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: the amount of money that Texas, Texas A & M, Florida... Alabama, Georgia,
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: Ohio State, Michigan, and he's still having this kind of success?
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I necessarily agree with it. Now,
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: the question I would pose back at you, Texter, do
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: you like that there is more.
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: Of a level playing field in college football today? Do
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: you like that, that teams are doing a lot better
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: because of the level playing field?
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: Certainly makes it more fun. And there's a lot more parody.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: What makes it more fun? I'll tell you that. To me,
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: it does as well.
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, the parody in college sports has made it
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: more fun. Now, for the teams that have clearly dominated
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: for many years, I don't think they like it. I
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: don't think the Alabamas like it. Florida State, well, they've
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: been down for some time now. But, you know, back what?
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: When's the last time Florida State was good?
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: That year when they were 11-0 and got screwed out
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: of the playoffs.
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's right. Well, they didn't deserve it, though, did they?
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: So same thing goes for Notre Dame. But don't get
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: me started.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: Come on.
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: I'm not.
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: You're getting yourself started. I am. I am.
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: But I like the parody in college sports. I like
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: it for the football side.
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know that. I do think you've gotten more
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: parody in college football than you have in basketball. Yeah.
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: I still think the top teams in basketball are still
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: the top teams.
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: You're probably right there.
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: But that will, I mean, I would imagine that will
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: eventually find its level too.
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Probably so. Let's get to 48 Handley right here.
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, my.
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: Let me get to the right one. The first Breeder
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: Cup Classic still remains as one of the greatest renditions
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: of the race. Patrick Allen Day, the pride of Brush, Colorado,
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: won on Wild Again, whose owners ponied.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: Up $ 60, 000.
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: To supplement him into the race. Day sent him early
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: and was hooked up in a vicious pace. Turning for home,
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: most people expected him to fold as race favorite.
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: Slew of gold moved.
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: To challenge along with the quirky gate dancer and his earmuffs.
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: But they never got by him. And the owners realized
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: a nice return on their investment. That's the part. I
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: remember the first readers come back in 1988 to Churchill Downs.
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: I was there. So those were fun, fun races. And
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: they still are fun races. I love Breeders' Cup because
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: every race is huge.
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: That's what I love. Oh, yeah.
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: One person said, I saw the premiere of Seabiscuit at
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: the Louisville Palace. Oh, that's pretty cool. It was a
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: comp for gold club members at Churchill. The audience erupted
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: when Gary Stevens, who played the Iceman, George Wolfe, appeared
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: on screen wearing a huge white Stetson hat. But I
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: ran into Gary Stevens at Churchill over the last spring.
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: And what a what a cool guy he is. So
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: one person said Pope is a Pope is a geek
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: and honestly may have his Mormon values out of touch
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: with today's world. I'm not going to say he's a geek.
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: He's just I will. OK, he's different. The worst is
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: when someone lets the door close right on you and
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: doesn't try to hold it open a bit. People are
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: too self-centered and don't care, unfortunately. That part I can
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: agree with.
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: All right, so when that happens, there's a couple times
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: I've accidentally made a noise. And either they walk on,
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: and I've had a person turn around and say, oh,
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were there. Sometimes
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: they truly don't know you were there.
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: But there are times when they know. I don't know
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: that I've dealt with that too much.
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: All right, then. Well, uh, the only thing that wasn't
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: great yesterday was UK volleyball, uh, traveled to Knoxville and
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: lost to number nine, Tennessee.
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah. What are we doing? Yeah.
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: Uh, it's, it's a good volleyball game. They lost three
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: to two. So, uh, number four, I mean, maybe we
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: went out celebrating our new contract a little too much.
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: I'm just joking. Craig Skinner. I'm just joking. Don't get
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: mad at me. Don't call me after the show, but, uh, Yeah,
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: it was a bummer that they lost to Tennessee yesterday. So, anyway,
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: that was a wild, I mean, think about it. They
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: went to Oklahoma, won there. They went down to, wasn't it?
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: Arkansas.
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: Arkansas, that's right. They went to Arkansas, won there.
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, come on.
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: You can't, they went, as far as games three, six, nine,
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: nine and three. That's pretty good.
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: For three games. You've only got six regular season games.
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: It's almost over. I know it.
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: And then you got the tournament, and then you got
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: the SEC tournament, then the big tournament. So, yeah, season's
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: winding down quickly. UK women's basketball player Clara Strack was
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: named preseason all-SEC first team. I don't think we're surprised
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: by that. And then how do you say her name? Miara?
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: Is that right? Miara? O'Neal?
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: Shaquille O'Neal's daughter?
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: Let me look. Okay.
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: She was named... second team All-SEC. So congratulations to both
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: those players for UK basketball. I am looking forward to that.
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: And by the way, if you haven't seen it or not,
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: I don't have where it's going to be, but they're
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: going to have a night in Lexington, if you want
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: to travel over there, where Kenny Brooks is going to
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: do his radio show live at a restaurant.
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: That's fun.
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I thought. Yeah, I'd say Miara, too.
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: You would say Miara?
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: Okay. All right.
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: Can we talk about this for a second? What's going
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: on with WDRB and Wave 3?
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: They merged. They merged. Yeah. Like six months ago.
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, is that long?
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know. So I just realized that they merged.
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: I guess it was about a month ago when I
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: went to one of their websites and it said like
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: WDRB plus wave. And I was like, wait, what? Yeah.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: What's going on here? So I texted Peek about it
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: because he used to work for WHAS. Oh, did he really?
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: He's got an inside track on the news scene here
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: in Louisville. And he was like, yeah, they did that
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: like six months ago. Nobody knew him until recently. Yeah.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: So Gray Media that owns Wave 3 bought WDRB from
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: Block Communications. I've never heard of either one of these things, but.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: It's like the strangest thing. Now you got advertisements of
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: the Mark Weinberg standing there with Kevin Harned. It's like, okay,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: this is blowing my mind.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: It's weird. Yeah, it is.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: Can I just say I'm not sure I like all this?
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: It's just, it's odd.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you're going to have people working for,
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: like you're going to see Don G on WDRB. It's
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: going to be like, wait, what? Yeah.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: What's going on here? Yeah.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: Uh, by the way, cutter bully has been benched by
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: Arizona state.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Good for him.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: Well, good for him. Why is that good?
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: That's cruel. He's getting paid to not play football. That's great.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: All right. It's like my dream. Oh my gosh, man.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: Getting paid to be a backup. You kidding me? Yeah.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: It's no better job in sports. Oh boy. Here we go.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: Are you ready for this? The negativity for basketball is exhausting.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: If you get a chance, listen to Jack Pilgrim's podcast.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: According to him, there is a five-star that wants to
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: come in, but all the negativity is pushing him away.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: This fan base is awful. Moving back to Ohio.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean....
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: You know, he puts a laughing emoji after that, but
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: you're right. But I could see where the fact that
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: you get part of the fan base that is negative
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: towards Mark Pope, where a recruit would not want to
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: come here. It's like, well, how long is he going
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: to be here? Why do I want to go to Kentucky? Listen,
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: I'm not rooting against Mark Pope. I'm just questioning, okay?
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: And I think that's okay.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: I think it's okay to question whether or not your
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: coach is doing a good job. I mean, you can't say, oh,
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: he's doing a fantastic. I can't wait. I can't wait.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: And then you go nine and 26. I mean, come
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: on now. Do you want me to still be positive?
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: Nine and 26. This isn't Billy G walking through the door.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: That was rude.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: I'm using it as an example is all I'm doing.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: That was rude. Nine and 20.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: I know we're not going to go that way. Listen,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: I still think there's a chance for this team to
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: play really well.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: I really do.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: But then part of me is thinking, is this team
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: really going to come together and play well? I just, we'll,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: the true, one of the big tests is going to
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: come tomorrow night and we'll see how this team plays.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: Again, it's an.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: Exhibition and I'm certain Mark Pope's not going to show everything.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: He's still going to play probably vanilla basketball. But then
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: when we start playing in New York and Chicago and
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: then we start playing UofL and we're not seeing that,
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to be sitting here thinking, oh, Mark
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: Pope's doing a great job. I'm just not going to.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: I'm going to criticize him the way he should be criticized.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: But also, I'm going to celebrate him when he should
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: be celebrated. Right now, I'm kind of in between.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: Hopefully, we're doing more celebrating than not.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: You're exactly right. I mean, I hope so, too. And
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: I guarantee he hopes so. But anyway, we'll just have
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: to see what happens, and we'll go from there. All right,
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: let's talk about some football. UK wide receiver Kenny Darby
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: named as a mid-season true freshman All-American.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: How close is he to being a real All-American and
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: not just a freshman All-American?
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that close. Really? I mean, if you
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: look around the country, there are some really, really good
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: wide receivers. And he's been one of them. In due time,
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: he's going to be one of the best in the country.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: I just don't think he's there yet. But freshman definitely deserves.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: Will he be a first team All-American next year, do
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: you think? I think he'll be a second year.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: Is Kenny Minchie back?
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: Kenny Minchie? Yeah, he's a junior.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: If he's back, then yeah, I could see that.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: I thought he was a junior. Maybe I'm wrong about that.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: I think he does have one more year. I think
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: you're right. Yeah, okay. Okay.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah he's he's uh he's just he's a junior
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: so there you go no he's a senior kenny minch
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: he is a senior.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: Well he would have a fifth year right doesn't everybody
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: moving forward have a fifth.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: Year oh that's right you're right about that yes so
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: we got him for a couple years so but i
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: mean either way it goes we still got some great
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: recruits that are looking at quarterback here yeah so uh
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: i was happy for let's not forget about baseball dude
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: baseball oh yes exactly i can't remember his name yeah
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: uh but but Bringing up baseball, by the way, did
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: you see where Nick Mingione has been talking about, says
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: that when Will Stein wins, everyone on campus wins? He
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: says that the success of the football team goes far
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: beyond the football field.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: Is he right?
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: I say absolutely.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: Isn't that common knowledge that football kind of rules the roost?
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: Does it really?
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: Because it hasn't at UK. It's always been basketball.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: It's ruled the roost.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: But when football succeeds, it does seem like that everybody
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: else is really getting into every sport.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: Todd raises all boats.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: I love that. That's twice you've used that this week,
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: and I think that's a great one.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: You laugh. I do. I love it.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: But I think it's great. Let's talk about UK's strengths. Oh, no,
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: we got to take a break. All right, when we
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: come back, I want to talk about this. What has
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: been UK football's biggest strength this year? Because we're a
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: little past midway season, and I want you to think
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: about during the break, and you tell me, is it
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: going to be defense, is it going to be offense,
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: or is it going to be a combination of both?
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about it when we come back.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: So, 502-414-1450.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: It's gotten a little quiet on the Whiskey Thief text line.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: I'd appreciate it if you text in. So, stay right there.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: We got two more segments of Jessica. Oh, rock and
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: roll is a scary business.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 3: No hit records, no MTV videos. You'll never make it here.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 3: It's scary.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: Let's do.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 3: It, Carl Reifers.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: Looked in my laptop, what did I see?
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 3: A flashing message said to day therapy. Rather walk through
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 3: fire than converse with my shrink. But I'm getting better,
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 3: that's what some people think.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: 502-414-1450.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: You want to text on the Whiskey Thief text line,
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: you can do that right now. I'll take care of
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: a couple of these right now. This Thursday night football game,
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: I said that one. Why is it saying that one again?
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: There we go.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: I agree with the texter about the fan base. Look,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: even if Pope does well this season, thank you, John,
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: they will still find a way to spin it so
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: he looks bad. Exactly. Justin is right about the Billy
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: G comment. Some, if not a lot, of the fan
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: base certainly tries to put Coach Pope on the same level. No,
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: he's not on the same level as... Not even close. No,
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: not even close. I mean, I'd put him on the
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: same level as Joker Phillips as far as football. They
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: both were there, what, two years? And they both just
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: had the programs plummet. So, I mean, you laugh, but
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: I mean that sincerely.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: The Billy G experiment was my favorite in Kentucky history.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: Why is that?
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: Because it was so fun to laugh at from afar.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, my.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: Okay. Because it was just a complete disaster.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. So, but one person said, the negativity
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: of basketball is exhausting. No, I read that one.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: Michael.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: I get questioning, but you have to let the season
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: play out. Texter, you're exactly correct. I'm right there with you.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: Pope has had two years, good first year, second year,
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: bad roster uh construction and missed on recruiting don't forget
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: everyone thought last year's roster was the championship roster at
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: the beginning of the year that's true and texter i
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: i could not agree with you more and that's a
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: great text right there so i'm gonna be right there
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: with you and and if it uh uh if the
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: fan base is going to be awful i'm moving to
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: ohio with you okay we're just go up there we'll
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: we're in a duplex we'll have a good time.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now there's a lot of places
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: i would move ohio would not be one really no i'm.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: Good i like cincinnati i've always liked cincinnati.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: Up near dayton i guess it's like where my uncle
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: lives is kind of cool but why.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: Do you what's wrong with cincinnati you got the reds
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: which you love the reds got the bingles which you
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: hate and uh I don't know. I think it's kind
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: of a cool place. To me, some of the best
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: ribs in the country are up there. What's the name
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: of the rib place that's so good up there?
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: Couldn't tell you. Okay. It's really.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: Cincinnati has great ribs. Let's see. Oh, he's just correcting.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: Let me make sure I get this right. Okay. Sorry,
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: forgot to text this earlier. Justin, the look on your
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: face yesterday when Michael brought up Diego Pavia was priceless.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: I always forget that I'm on the YouTube. Also, if
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: he is drafted by the St. Louis Battle Hawks, then
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: I'm adopting the Louisville Kings until he is gone.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: Jamie does not like Diego Pavia either.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: You seem surprised. Jamie's a smart fella. Are you sure
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: Jamie's a fella? Oh, that is our woman. I was
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: going to say. Sorry, Jamie. That's our woman, Jamie. Yes.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: You're right. Come on now.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: Well, she's a smart lady. That's funny, though. See, I
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: didn't get to see your face, so I don't know what.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: And I would kill to see what your facial expression
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 2: was yesterday. Well, good news for you is the show's
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: still up on YouTube. All you got to do is
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: go to Big Exports Radio Louisville. You can find it there.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: Okay. All right.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: I might have to go do that just to see
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: how your facial expression. Let me see. Oh, this is interesting.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: Black is slimming. Yeah, because of the black uniforms last week.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: And then we were talking about black. I know.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: This is today.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know why he's saying it today,
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: but I've always heard that wearing black is slimming.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: That's true. Yeah.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: By the way, I've lost more weight.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: Have you?
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm the lowest I've been in. I can't tell
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: you how long.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: Good for you. In many years.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: That's awesome.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: But maybe I don't know. I just never liked wearing black.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: And I just thought, you know, looking at the uniforms
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: last weekend, they look kind of cool in the pictures.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: But on TV, you said it too. Yeah. I didn't
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: think they looked great. Didn't come across good. But it's
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: not up to me. Don't listen to me. It's about
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: the players. If the players want to wear it, by golly,
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: I want the players wearing it. That's all that matters.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: One person texted in. Let me see here. Yo, fellas,
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: how about those basketball cards? They're going to be fun
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: to watch. I can confirm that. I just don't want
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: to see Kelsey. I mean, they can go have their fun, but,
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, yo, Texter, I mean, yeah, okay.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: Did you see his tat last night? That must be
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: a new one. The ink looks fresh. On his left
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: upper arm?
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: No, I did not.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: His sleeve kept coming up a little bit, and you
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: could see the bottom part of it. I don't remember
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: him having a tat last season. Oh, really? Yeah.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: So could you tell what it was or said?
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: I couldn't, no.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, now we got to find out what Kelsey's tatting
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: up with. I mean, okay, well, whatever. Okay, yeah, you're
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: going to have a fun season, okay? And I think
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: it's going to be not fun for UK fans watching UofL.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: Have a good time, and we got to deal with Mr.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: uh harry carry midget so uh he wore black because
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: he uh we were going to their funeral oh that's
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: i i agree with that that is why you wear
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: black because oklahoma's funeral was last weekend montgomery and that's
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: it thank you texter have you never been to montgomery
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: and barbecue no oh my gosh man here's what they
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: do that's so special they heat up their barbecue sauce
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: and bring it to the table hot And I love that.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: They have some unbelievable onion rings, and you take that
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: heated barbecue sauce and eat it.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know that that sounds good. Really?
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: I'm just not a big barbecue guy in general.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: Oh, you're not?
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: Not really.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: I think it's pretty overrated, more times than not.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: One person texted, and I was wondering why I said
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: anything about Pavia. Was his mom performing at the Godfather? What?
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, boy.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: I'm going to get in trouble with some of the
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: texts that are coming on today.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: That may be the exception to me not frequenting strip clubs. Yeah.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was never my cup of tea either. One
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: person said, Cincinnati is the birthplace of the legendary boxer
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: Izzard Charles and one of the greatest singers ever, Mel Carter.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: I have no idea who either of those people are.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: I did start watching a- Mike Tyson documentary on Netflix yesterday. Oh,
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: did you really? It's pretty good.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: I'm a Mike Tyson fan. I've always been a Mike
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: Tyson fan.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: It was neat because I didn't realize.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: Other than biting the ear off.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize how young he was when he first
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: got onto the scene and became champion and all that.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: It was fascinating.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: One person said, imagine Pat taking off those glasses like
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: a sexy secretary. Ha ha. It's not going to work.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: They have heated potato chips, not onion rings. No, I
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: get the onion rings, too. I thought they had onion rings.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'm wrong.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: I forgot it is the heated potato chips, but yes. Yeah,
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: they're homemade potato chips there. Thank you, Texter. Yeah, this
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 2: guy's correcting me all kinds of stuff. I thought it
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: was onion rings, too, though. They had, like, little shoestring
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: onion rings or something. But maybe I'm confusing it with
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: somebody else. But it is the potato chips. You're right.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 2: Because they have one downtown on the river. And then
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: they have one up north where the original Montgomery Inn is.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they have onion straws. You're right. Okay.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: I was thinking they did. But anyway.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about UK football right now. So far this season,
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: we're a little past midway through. What has been UK
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: football's biggest dream? Is it the defense or the offense?
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know that I could say one way or
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: the other. Because, you know, here's the thing about, and
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: let's talk about it for a minute. Defense has created turnovers.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, UK's defense is second in the SEC creating turnovers.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 2: They're tied with 11 with Georgia. I mean, can you
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: believe that? They are tied with Georgia, who as of
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: last week was the number one team in the nation.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: The most has been Alabama with 14. So they're only
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: three behind the number one team in the SEC with
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: creating turnovers. Now, Missouri leads the way with fewest turnovers
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: with three. UK is second right behind them with five turnovers,
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: which I didn't remember UK making five turnovers this year.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 2: I thought they would be number one, but it's Missouri
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: that has the fewest. So I look at this.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: It has to be four fumbles then because I think
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: Minchie only has one interception.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: Exactly. So I'm trying to think where are the turnovers.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: So with that, you look at UK.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: One of them was on the punt return. Remember that? Yeah. Oh,
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: that's right. That was one of them. Yes. Yes.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: So you look at UK defensively. They're second in the
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: conference when it comes to creating turnovers. You look at
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: UK offensively, they're second with fewest turnovers on the offensive side.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: And I look at this and I think, man, I
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: really thought the offense would be stronger, a lot stronger
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: than defense. The defense has come this year and really
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: been a force to reckon with. And they've been fun
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: to watch. especially with players going to, Will Stein, don't
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: worry about that, coach. We'll take care of it, and
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: they go back and get the ball. I look at this,
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: and I think, I really struggle.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: Which way? I believe.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: I think it's a slight edge to the defense. That
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: has been the biggest strength for UK football. Going through
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: all of that, what do you think now, Justin? Do
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: you have an opinion yet?
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you just strengthened my opinion because I
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: don't feel comfortable one way or the other saying the
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: offense or the defense has been better. My answer was
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: going to be just taking, like, the turnover battles. That
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: has been their strength this season. Anytime they've won the
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: turnover battle, you win the game. You don't win the
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: turnover battle, you don't win the game. It's really been
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: that simple all season long.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: Will Stein had his weekly radio show last night with
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: Tom Leach. He said, I was kind of surprised by this.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: He said last night on his radio show that he
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: regrets going on that fourth down and four with six
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: minutes left. I was kind of surprised he regretted that.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 2: He said with the play clock winding down, he said
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: they were a little bit disorganized at that moment. And
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: he said, just kick the ball.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: Just kick the field goal and go up by four, right?
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: That was a poor decision by me. I like the
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: fact that he went back to that specific play and
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: completely admitted it was the wrong decision.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: Well, at least, I mean, that shows that he's looking
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: inward after every game. And that's got to mean something.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: Because I've said the statement a number of times. The
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: aggressiveness eventually is going to bite him. But if he realizes,
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: whether it's in real time or not, that he's potentially
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: making mistakes, that'll give him an opportunity to correct those mistakes. Yeah.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: Potential mistakes. Well, we all have to remind ourselves. This
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: is the first year he is actually making all the decisions.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: And for the most part, I think 80– I'm almost
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 2: to the point of 90% of the time I think
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: he's made the right decision.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're sitting at 6-1, so it's hard to
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: say anything else.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 2: Exactly. So you can't really argue. Now, at that point,
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 2: that was a bad decision. Especially, now, if it was
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: fourth and one, I say, yeah, okay, I can see
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 2: going for it. But it was fourth and, he said
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: three last night. I thought it was fourth and four.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: Even if, anytime it's three or more yards, I think
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: that's too much to go for. Unless the game is
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: completely on the line and you're down. You got to
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: go for it. But at that point in time, I
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: think he was right to say, yeah, I was wrong.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: I was surprised he said that. And I was kind
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 2: of glad that he did. So, anyway, we got to
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: take our last break. We'll get back more of your
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: text messages. Plus, the availability report came out yesterday. We're
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: going to talk about that as well.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: You teased something on Crosstalk, too, we need to discuss.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, about what today is?
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, something invented today. Is that what it was?
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it. We'll talk about that.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll get back to that. Just making sure you
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: didn't forget. We'll talk about that as soon as we
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: get back. Just don't let me forget. We'll talk about it.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: That'll be fun.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: You'll enjoy it. I would never do it. Even today
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: I won't do it. But stay right there. One more
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 2: segment of Just Cats.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: That was trippy. I'm like, what the heck are you
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: playing here?
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: It's like you didn't realize they played that other stuff
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 2: before they played the rest of the song.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: No, that tripped me up.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I figured it did. All right, are you ready
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 2: for this?
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: Ready. Born ready.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: On this date, October 22nd, in 1797, André Jacques Oh,
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 2: my goodness. Your parent ascended 3200 feet in the air
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: in a balloon.
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, I saw this yesterday.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 2: And jumped out in what was the first successful jump
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: of a parachute.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: Wait, that is not what I saw. Oh, it is it? No. Oh, yes.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 2: 17, this is how long the parachute has been around.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 2: So instead of using a harness, Jacques rode inside a
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: wicker basket that was connected by rope to a silk
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 2: and canvas, a white canvas parachute.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 3: Huh.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 2: And they said it happened in Paris, France at this
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 2: huge park, and thousands of people showed up to watch
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: him die because they thought that's what was going to happen.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 2: And when he jumped out, they said several people fainted
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 2: as he was jumping out. But, yeah, he descended to
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 2: the ground without injury. So there you go. A parachute
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 2: was invented today.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: I thought you were going to bring up Lawn Chair Larry. Oh, no.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: What's Lawn Chair Larry? You've never heard of Lawn Chair Larry?
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: I have not. So he's the guy who inspired the
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: movie Up. Have you seen the movie Up? No. So
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: it's a Pixar movie. You probably shouldn't have seen it.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: But it's a really good movie. But this guy, back in,
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: it was October sometime. I can't remember when. But he
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: decided he wanted to take flight. And so he went
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: out and bought all these helium weather balloons.
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, I remember this, and he tied it to a
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: lawn chair.
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: Yep, and he had a cooler, had sandwiches up there
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: with him, had a shotgun so he could shoot down
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: balloons for the descent, and thought he was going to
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: be a few hundred feet above the ground, and he
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: ended up getting up to like 16,000.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 2: I do remember this movie.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: Had a $ 4, 000 fine from the Flight Association or whatever.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: From the FAA? FAA, yeah. It was a crazy story. Really?
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 2: I didn't realize you'd get a fine for doing that. Well, yeah,
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 2: he was in airspace.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: I didn't. He was next to, like, the L.A. airport. Oh,
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: was he really? Yeah. Oh, why would you do it
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: next to the freaking airport? Well, no, that's just where
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: it took him.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, the wind drug him all the way there.
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: So he got, there was a couple, I guess, pilots
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: that saw him, and they called it in, like, hey,
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: we got this. Dude on a lawn chair with balloons.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 2: I love the fact that he had the intuition to think,
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 2: you know what? I might get hungry up there. I
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: think I'm going to take a sandwich.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: And a cooler. A couple brewskis for that. Yeah, exactly. Listen.
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: Is that technically drinking and driving? Oh. I would say no, right? Oh,
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 2: You're flying. You are deaf. Or is it floating? What
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: do you call it? Flying or floating?
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: Floating. Okay.
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 2: Cause there's not enough beer. I mean, there might be
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: enough beer. I could steal a flamingo, but I'm not,
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: there's not enough beer for me to get a, uh,
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 2: a bunch of balloons and float up in the air.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 2: I'm just, I'm not doing, I've never done a balloon.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 2: I'm not interested in doing a balloon and I'm not
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 2: interested in doing parachute or any of that. Cause I
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 2: know you have, right?
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah. Yeah.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 2: And you'd do it again, wouldn't you?
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: I want to do it again, yeah.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 2: Do you really?
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Yeah. It was awesome.
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 2: No, absolutely no thank you. One texter said, you're right,
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: so good. Referring to the potato chips and the onion
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 2: rings with the barbecue sauce. And it is. PK referring
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 2: to himself in third person is gold.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: This is PK. This is who I am. That's a
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: great quote.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was kind of goofy. Uh, but, uh, 48
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 2: Hanley said, see one 30 rolling down the strip airborne.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 2: Daddy gonna get a little trip. We jumped with a
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 2: T 10. Oh my gosh. It's gotta be a song.
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 2: It has to be.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 2: With that kind of rhyme right there. Uh, availability report
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 2: came out yesterday. Uh, and, uh, some of it good.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 2: Some of it, I don't know. Uh, Vandy, I will
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 2: say this Vanderbilt. They got a lot of players listed
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 2: on their unavailable, uh, their unavailable list. So CJ Baxter
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 2: is back along with nose tackle Kalen Edwards.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: I was so surprised Baxter didn't play last week. I
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: was too.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 2: I was convinced he was playing. I really was as well. So,
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 2: but he's back. That's good. Nose tackle Kalen Edwards is
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 2: back after missing last week as well. Reserve linebacker Tavian
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: Wallace is also expected to return after missing three games.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: So that's good.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 2: But two starters will miss from suffering injuries last week
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 2: against Oklahoma. Edge player Sam Green is going to be out,
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 2: which kind of sucks. I remember the play he got injured, too.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 2: And Nick Anderson, wide receiver, is not going to be playing. Now,
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 2: you look at Vanderbilt, they've got eight players out or out.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 2: And another one that is questionable. So almost nine players
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 2: are completely out there. Backup quarterback, listen to this. Blaise Berlowitz.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 2: How do you like that name as a quarterback? I
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 2: loved it. The guy started a few games. And, of course,
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: they got that kid that's from Nashville that committed to Georgia,
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 2: the five-star, and then he backed out, decommitted, and went
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 2: to Vanderbilt.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: Curtis. Yeah, Curtis.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 2: That's it. But anyway, so they don't have a backup
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 2: right now. Blaze Berlowitz. That's just, what a name that is.
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: Kid was destined to be an athlete. Clearly.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 2: He's from Oklahoma. Cushing, Oklahoma.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: Blaze.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's quite a name right there.
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 2: So, I do too. So, good news and only a
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 2: couple of bad news for you, Kay. but I'm happy
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 2: to see CJ back-to-back. But, you know, even with the
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 2: injuries we've had, it hasn't affected us so much. We
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 2: were so worried about the linebacker room as far as
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 2: how thin it was a couple of weeks ago. UK
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 2: has handled it. You remember Mark Supes used to say,
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 2: next man up. And clearly, the next man up at
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 2: UK has done a phenomenal job. So I'm really happy
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 2: about that. That includes the wide receiver room, too.
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: That's why I'm... Ideally, you want Nick Anderson playing on
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: Saturday because he's just been, the last two, three weeks,
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: he's been playing very well. It's been a nice compliment
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: to the other wide receivers and Willie Rodriguez. So I'd
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: like to see him out there. But this is also
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: one of those games where do you really need him?
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: Probably not. You hope not.
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 2: It's in last year's vanity. No, you're right about that,
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 2: but you never know. I just don't want it to
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 2: be a letdown. UK needs to beat them. By at
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 2: least a couple of touchdowns. I would be very happy
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 2: if they're up by 13, 14. at halftime. I just cannot
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 2: because can UK afford to overlook Vanderbilt? Absolutely not. I mean,
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 2: what is their narrative to stay motivated in this game?
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 2: That's a great question. I mean, what is it? And
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 2: you look at it. Here's the narrative, Justin. They have
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 2: UK has only won one game in the last five years.
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 2: That's the motivation right there. That should be enough. You
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 2: cannot continue to lose to Vanderbilt. You just can't.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: You shouldn't.
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 2: No, you shouldn't. But, I mean, we'll see, though. I
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 2: just cannot believe if they win Saturday, UK's going to
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 2: be 7-1.
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: It's nuts. It is. Will they?
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: It's... Use your words.
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 2: It depends on.
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 2: I was trying to use another word, and I'm going
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 2: to use it wrong. But it's all... Depends on who
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 2: wins and loses in the top ten. But if there
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 2: are two or three teams that lose in the top ten,
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 2: does UK crack the top ten if they win versus
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 2: Vanderbilt this weekend?
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: If there's a couple that lose, yeah. Or if– I mean,
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think you can get there
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: without any losses in front of you. But if you
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 1: just come out and take care of business and destroy
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 1: this Vanderbilt team by 20-plus– It's going to be really
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: hard for the AP poll members to overlook that.
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 2: I don't see how you can't. I mean, UK, there's
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 2: been a few media members like UK should be in
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 2: the top 10 right now as it is. The only
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 2: thing that's holding them back is because of the helmet.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's the UK on the helmet that's keeping them.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: And I agree.
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: I've always thought that, but I firmly believe it now.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, I just feel like that is the case,
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 2: and I feel like they deserve to be in there.
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 2: And at this point, if UK loses only one or
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 2: two more games, they'll be at the end of the season,
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 2: they'll be in the top 10. Because, you know, over
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 2: the past years, it's been UK breaks, cracks the top 25,
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 2: and then by the end of the season, they're out
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 2: of it. I really and firmly believe UK will stay
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 2: in the top 25 all season, the rest of the season.
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: I really do. I'm probably right there with you. Yeah.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 2: Because I think there's teams that they should beat.
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, something would have to go horribly wrong for
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: that not to be. You're right. You're right.
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, if they could win out with Vanderbilt, UofL,
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 2: and Florida, all the home games, that's a must. And
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 2: they take one of the two away games. I mean,
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 2: it's just, I'm going to say it again. They're going
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 2: to be in the college football playoffs. And it's just
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 2: mind-blowing to me right now. I just never dreamed this.
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 2: I hope this day was going to come, and we're
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 2: on the cusp of it right now, and it's so
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 2: much fun. Tomorrow, we're going to cover all kinds of stuff. Obviously,
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 2: we're going to talk about the UK-Vanderbilt game. We'll talk
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 2: about that a lot more. We'll talk about Vanderbilt and
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 2: what kind of a team they've got, or the lack thereof.
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 2: Thank you. We've got a basketball game tonight. I know
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 2: it's an exhibition, but still, that's what I said, isn't it?
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 2: Tomorrow night?
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: You said tonight. Oh, I did?
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: Getting everybody's hopes up.
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah. Sorry about that. It's tomorrow night. Texas Tech.
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 2: So we'll talk about that as well. We got everything
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 2: to talk about. Now it's going to be an exciting day.
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 2: So I'm looking forward to tomorrow's show with all that
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 2: we will be covering. And Corey Price, right? Oh, I
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 2: forgot about that, too.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, boy.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 2: It's going to be a fun-filled day. Yes, we got
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 2: Corey Price coming in because I want to hear how
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 2: his time was out in Norman.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 2: So anyway, that'll be a fun time. So everybody... Appreciate
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 2: you listening. Appreciate all the text. We will see you tomorrow.
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 2: Getting ready for Vanderbilt and UK football going 7-1. God,
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 2: I can't believe those things are coming out of my mouth.
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 2: Have a great day, everybody. We'll see you then.
