• 0:39
  Speaker 2: this rainy, cloudy, little chilly. It feels like falls in
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: the air at this point, doesn't it? It does, but
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: I'm maybe here, maybe I'm not. I don't know. I
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: can't really figure it out. Was that a childish comment?
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, Wisconsin guys calling me out. Childish comment. It's like,
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: come on, I was just joking. I mean, I'm in
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: a good mood, and I thought, well, I'm just going
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: to say maybe, maybe not. I thought it was kind
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: of funny. You took offense to it, and then you
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: come in here, and you start laughing at me.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I took offense to it. Yeah,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: it sounded like you did on the radio. I just
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: needed a straight answer, that's all. Okay, yes, I'm here.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I know now.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Isn't that boring? I mean, I'd like to live it
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: up a little, but no. Childish comments. That's funny you
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: brought that back up again. That does make me, all right,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: I have a question for you, speaking of being childish. Okay. Yesterday,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I received a text message Saying, Michael, happy birthday. Hope
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: you enjoy your special day. Week early, but okay, thanks. Exactly.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: So at that point, do you tell them that it's
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: not your birthday? Or do you tell them, oh, thank
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: you very much. I really appreciate you thinking of me.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: What is your response?
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: My response would have been, when should I be looking
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: out for the gift?
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Seriously? Yeah. Okay. All right, then.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I would have went somewhere down that route.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: So you want the gift. It's all about Justin.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Or I would have said, is my check in the
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: mail or something along those lines.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Wow. Okay. Well, no, I'm not expecting money from these people. Well,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: do you know who it was? Oh, very. No, no, no.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: I'm a very, very close friend. Gotcha.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: You were acting like you didn't know who it was.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no. I know her. I know her
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: very well and love her dearly. And so since it's
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: somebody I knew really well, do you answer them and say, hey,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: it's not my birthday, or do you say thank you?
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Maybe they're just in the mindset of since it's October,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: it's technically your birthday because it's your birthday month.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's not my birthday. And she was very
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: specific about I hope you enjoy your day.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I would have probably said something along the lines of,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: I will, next Thursday.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: There you go. And see, that's a great way to respond.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I said, thank you very much, but it's not my birthday.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: To which she responded, when is your birthday? I just laughed.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's sweet and very nice of her to
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: think of me. Was she 100? 100. No, no, no, no, no, no.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: She's probably in her mid-60s. Okay.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I just didn't know if it was one of those
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: situations where maybe she's losing it.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: No, I don't think so. But I just, I said, no,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: thank you. And then she said, well, when's your birthday?
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I said, it's October 8th. And she goes, oh, I'm so, well,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: a week early. You know how I am. I love
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: being prompt. And it's like, okay, fine. I mean, she
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: played it off really well. But anyway, it makes me
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: feel good that she thought of me, but it does
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: make me feel bad she had the wrong day. I mean,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: that's on her, though. You shouldn't feel bad about that. No,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: I shouldn't, but it was very nice of her to
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: thank me, and I thought that was funny, and I
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: thought I'd bring it up today just to see, was
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I being rude? Because after I sent it back, thank you,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: it's not my birthday, I'm like, ugh, that didn't sound
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: real nice. That's the reason I... You're not a big texter. No,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I'm not. I'm just quick to the point. A lot
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: of times, I come across as kind of a curt,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: and I don't mean to sound that way, but I
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: just don't have time for texting. You and Corey text me,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: and it's fine, but it's just like, just call me.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: But I get it. I get it. Y'all are of
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: the generation. Us kids. You only want to text. Yeah,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: you know, as the kids want to do. They use
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: all the abbreviations. I got to go figure out what
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: y'all are meaning. We had on Spears yesterday. I think
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: that was yesterday. Buzz texted us in a group text,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: and you've met Buzz before. So he's in his 70s,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: and he sends ROFL. Do you know what that means? ROFL.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: If you don't know what this means, this story somehow
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: becomes funnier. Man, I have no idea what ROFL means.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: So as soon as Buzz sent the text, it was
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: at the end of Spears, and John and Tony both
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: walk over here, and they're like, what is ROFL?
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Rolling on the floor laughing. Ah, okay. I'm disappointed you
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: didn't know that. Sorry. Yeah, I've literally never had anybody
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: reply to me ROFL. Okay. All right, then. Now you know. Yeah,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: I do. Because I remember the first time somebody texted
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: me YW. And I replied back to him, what is YW?
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: I had no idea. This is probably 15 years ago.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: And the guy said, you're welcome. Now you made me
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: spell it out. That's an easy one. Yeah, it is now.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: But there are abbreviations. I'm getting used to them. There
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: are times that I want to make sure. All right,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you right now. There are times or people
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: that I will abbreviate to, like my boys. I will
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: abbreviate to them all the time. My buddies who are
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: a little older than me, I'll spell it out the
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: entire time. Yeah. Because I'm worried they won't know what
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about. Because I like to abbreviate. At this point,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: as much as I loathe texting, I'll abbreviate stuff. Sure.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: But no, I will spell it out for my buddies
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: that are on the up and up. So as far
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: as their age.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: You know why those all became popular, I think?
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Why, what, the abbreviations?
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it was probably because of the flip
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: phone days when you had to do the T9 texting,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: remember that?
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Where you have to hit, like, the number three times
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: to get down to C or whatever. I think that's
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: probably why we abbreviate the way we do now.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Huh.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: That just made us lazy because we didn't want to
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: type it all out.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Huh. I'm convinced. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Nothing else to add. Well,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: I got distracted. Sorry. I got a text, and I
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: guess like, oh, my goodness, man. I just got myself
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: in trouble. But anyway. Uh-oh. Yeah. Yeah. Uh-oh. Oh, yeah.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: I did. I got myself. Yeah. I know. I got
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: to answer this, and I'm so sorry. I just totally
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: got my. You're going to leave us in limbo? I know. Anyway. Okay.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: I know. I, I, I, yeah, I, so, uh, I
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: just got, well, I shouldn't say YouTube. I know. I, I, exactly.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: I am so in trouble. And, uh, uh, anyway, but no, I, uh, I,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: I told, uh, uh, Antonio Fresu who, uh, won a
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: big race yesterday up at Belmont and said, I just
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: replied back to, Hey, great. Uh, you're my favorite jockey. And,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: you know, I got a horse race. I hope you're
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: going to be up there. And, uh, uh, anyway, uh, Just,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: oh my gosh. Yep. And now Buzz is ROFLing on
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: me right now. I think you are too. I did.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, my, good Lord. I just, I'm in trouble
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: by a long shot. So anyway. Oh my gosh, man.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Now I'm going to be distracted for another two hours
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: so I can talk to him on the phone. It's like, frick.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: I just said he's my favorite jock. I'm going to
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: be up there next week. I hope you're going to
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: be up there. So yeah. And now he's, Now he's
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: texting me like crazy. Life of Michael Bennett. Exactly. And
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: then Horacio says, interesting. Okay. I mean, it's just like,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: what is this, Michael? And it says, your owner, Michael Bennett,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: reached out to us for him to ride his horse
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: next week. And Horacio's like, what is this? It's like, oh,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: my gosh, man. I get in trouble for just being
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: trying to be nice. And oh, well. But anyway, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: What a response. I know. I know. And I'm not
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: paying attention to anything you're saying. I am so distracted. Listen,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: I know my face is red. I know my whole
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: body is red at this point. ROFL, okay? ROFL. I
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: would want to be knowing who ROFL is. I don't
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: know who ROFL is. There's no ROFL. Yeah. But, okay,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: rolling on the floor. Do we need to break early
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: so you can get your bearings? No, no, no, no, no.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: I'm good to go now. I mean, I don't know.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: We probably should break and just say, hey, show's done
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: for today. Because I got nothing. I am just so
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: flabbergasted by what I just transpired here. It's like, okay,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: I got good news. But anyway, just forget it. I
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: know how to screw up a two-car funeral. Okay? I
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: just want you to know that. I have screwed it up.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Is that a common phrase? Oh, my dad used to
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: say that all the time. I've never heard that. Oh, yeah.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: He goes, that guy's always so late, he'd be late
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: for his own funeral. I've heard that. Yeah, yeah.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: But I've never heard, I could screw up a two-car
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: oh absolutely that's great i like that yeah uh that
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: that's an i think that's an old comment i love
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: comments like that my dad my uncle lou always did
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff and they would try and out
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: top each other i uh i learned a word yesterday
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: i'm curious if you know what it means okay in
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: regards to talking about movies if i describe a movie
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: as camping Do you know what that means?
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Campy? Yeah. Would it mean outdoorsy? No. No, I have
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: no idea what camp, C-A-M-P-Y. Correct. A movie as being
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: described as campy. Yep. And what was the movie?
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: I don't remember which specific movie we were talking about,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: but yeah, it was used on several occasions.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: I have never heard a movie being described as campy.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: So basically, it means it's campy when it's like over-exaggerated,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: just over the top. What? Almost like so bad it's good. Oh,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: there's numerous movies like that.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Where does campy come from, though? That I don't know.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: That makes zero sense because camp, to me, is pitching
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: a tent and being outside and outdoorsy. I don't get
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: being over the top being campy. Yeah, I mean, I
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: didn't say it. Did you look it up?
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I didn't say I understood it, but, yeah, it was
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: used several times yesterday, and that's what it means.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Where? On Spears. They used it. John said it. They
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: used it?
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Buzz said it. I think Tony even may have said
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: it at one point. So finally, I was like, what
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: the hell is campy mean?
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Campy is an adjective that describes media behavior or style
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: that is absurdly exaggerated, artificial, or theatrical in a way
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: that is funny or self-aware. Wow. I've never heard of
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: that word. Campy. Yeah. Yeah, because I can name numerous
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: movies that are campy. Yeah, Napoleon Dynamite, I think, was campy. Borat. Borat, exactly.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: You and I think way too much alike. You'll never
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: get this. Yeah, oh my gosh, exactly. But anyway, I
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: know exactly what you're talking about. He was going crazy
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: in his cage. But anyway, oh my gosh, man. That
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: movie is cringy. It is.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: But it is funny. Same thing with Napoleon Dynamite.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is. I can't do Napoleon Dynamite. Oh, I
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: love that movie. Oh, no. I do. And, you know,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: every movie that pretty much Will Ferrell does, especially with
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Mark Wahlberg, I think is so bad they're good. But anyway.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: All right. We got to talk about it. At some point.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: And we do. I know. I know. I think that's
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: why so many people click this show. Talk a little
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: horse racing. OK, I'm glad to hear that. So now
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: I found out that the to me, the big interesting
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: story of the day is not the UK South Carolina
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: football game. It's the whole thing about all of a
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: sudden there is a vacant. You know, we talked about
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: it briefly yesterday. And then yesterday after the show, UK
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: posted an open position for assistant coach at UK. And
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: I thought that's really interesting because I think the timing
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: is just odd. Season starts in a month. Yes. We
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: got big blue madness tonight. And the season starts, like
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: you just said, in a month. To me, that indicates
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: they already have somebody they want to hire. What do
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: you think?
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: They just had to go through the formality of putting
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: it up.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Correct. To be fair. Because it's going to be posted
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: only until next Wednesday, October 7th. Hmm. Does that make
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: any sense to you? Not really, no. No. So you
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: don't think it's because they have somebody in mind that
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: they want to hire? How would you explain it? That
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: would make the most sense. That would probably be the
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: explanation that I could buy the most. That's the one
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: I think the most as well. But who is it?
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, the description is to assist head coach in
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: administration of a Division I basketball program. Duties to include
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: assistant coaching, recruiting, basketball camps, academic and personnel support, and
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: all necessary administration work as assigned by head coach. I'm
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: about to apply. Are you really? Maybe they don't have
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: their guy. Maybe I can be. I don't know. But
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: part of me wants to think because the only every
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: assistant coach has a job at this point, don't they?
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I would imagine so. I mean, I'm sure you can
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: probably go get somebody who's not. Working currently.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Well, the only person I can think of that's not
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: working currently is a coach that got dismissed by Texas
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Tech last March. And it's a former UK coach or
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: UK player, John Pelfrey. Could it be John Pelfrey? He's
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: not coaching anywhere? No, he's not. He got fired by
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Texas or Tennessee Tech last March.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: I say you bring Tubby out of retirement. Give him
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: that spot.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Really? That'd be great. I don't think Tubby would do it, though. Probably.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: as that's kind of, well, Ed Orgeron's doing it. He
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: was a head coach and he's assistant coach now of LSU,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: which I find crazy. I think it's great. Exactly. I
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: think it's awesome. We're going to talk a little bit
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: about LSU in a little bit, but I just, I just,
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: the timing is off on this and it just seems strange.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: And then when we saw the, the date is it's
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: only going to be posted until October 7th. Really to me,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: indicates that UK has somebody. I would imagine.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: And like you said, it's just a formality. That's the
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: only thing I can think of. They have to do
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: it for fairness, right? Like post the job.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That part of it. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you have to.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Like anybody, any major company that's out there, they have
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: to post this. Even if they got their candidate. Even
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: if they know who it's going to be. Exactly. But
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: what if it happens where, oh, somebody comes up that
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: you didn't know? Would you interview that person as well?
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think you can be– even if
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: you have your guy, I don't think you can be
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: locked in. I mean, you got to keep your eyes open,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: you know, and the possibilities could be endless, you know?
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. But anyway, I just– I thought that was interesting.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: I thought, okay, now I wonder who it is. We
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: got Big Blue Madness tonight. They're not going to be
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: there for the introduction of him, and everybody else is
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: going to be there. So– that is weird it's just
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: it's just things are just kind of odd in the
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: basketball program i'm not saying in a negative way it's
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: just different i agree but something feels something feels something
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: yeah it does and i tell you what and more
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: people i talk to is like they all feel the
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: same way i mean you know you you were talking
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: about uh what what steven peak said last year just
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: the the fact that so many fans were there the
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: first year to watch the introductions and then It dropped
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: off the second year, and then this year it's just
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: been totally abysmal. So it's just kind of crazy. All right,
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: we're going to take our first break. 502-384-1450. You want
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: to call 502-414-1450. You want to text in. We'll get
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: your text as soon as we get back. Or you
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: can tweet me at Just the Cat Radio. I'm going
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: to make a phone call real quick. Probably a good idea. Yeah,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: I need to. I mean, it's right in the middle.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Maybe it'll calm me down some, so I hope it does. Anyway,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: this is Just the Cat. Yeah, if you saw me
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: on YouTube, boy, you caught me. Red-handed, okay? I'm hoping

• 18:34
  Speaker 2: it wasn't? How did it happen then?
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: This was a direct result of you telling me during
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: that break that that really got you going.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: And I was like, you know what? Well done. We're
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: going to go with some kinks today. Well done right there. See,
• 18:48

• 18:54
  Speaker 2: the topics that we have right now. But, yeah. Whoo. I, uh, man,
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: I tell you what I am so worked up. It's
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: not even funny. Uh, let's get to the, uh, whiskey thief, uh,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: text line 502-414-1450. Uh, Jamie said, good morning guys. Scooch.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: You can buy the Papa John's garlic sauce at the store.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Now I got some at Walmart about a month ago. Oh,
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: that's huge. Jamie. Thank you. Holy smokes, I had no idea. What, what, what?
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: The garlic sauce. You mean the garlic butter sauce? Yeah,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: that comes with the pizza. Oh, that can't be healthy. Oh,
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: it's not healthy, but it's so good. See, I was
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: happy when they came out in the store with the
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Taco Bell sauce. Yeah, that's clutch. I get that a lot. Oh,
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: I love that stuff.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: I also get, I'm a big fan of the Buffalo
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Wild Wing sauces. I'll buy those in the store as well.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Throw on some chicken.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, good stuff. Okay, good.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: But I didn't know you could buy the garlic sauce.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Okay, there you go. All right, Buzz texted in I-Y-K-Y-K.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Do you know that one? Yeah, if you know, you know.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: That's right. Yeah. Atta boy. Okay, good. Yeah. Buzz, text
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: me all you want. Listen, I'm a man of the kids, okay?
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: I just want you to know I'm one of the
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: kids as well. Even though I don't look like a
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: kid anymore. Yeah. Anyway, something was proved at a restaurant
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: last night. The hostess was really cute. And I've always
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: said that, you know, you get to a certain age,
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: you're invisible to, you know, a certain age of young ladies.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: I was totally invisible to her yesterday. Not her type. No, no,
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: not her type. It's just, well, yeah, yeah. Not daddy type, so.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: 148 Hanley says, speaking of funerals, back in the day
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: when a funeral procession was taking place, other drivers would
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: pull over and get out of the car to stand
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: and show their respect. Heartwarming. I didn't know that. That's fun.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: I knew people, because I do. I still do. When
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: I see a funeral procession coming, if I can. Now,
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: if I'm in a left lane trying to turn left
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: on a road, I can't. I just can't get out
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: of that lane and go way over to the side
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: of the road and pull over. But if I'm on
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: a road... Uh, and here comes a funeral procession. I
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: do pull off. Yeah. And let them come. That's the right.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: You do the same. I didn't know people actually physically
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: got out of the car. That's pretty cool. And stood.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, my goodness. That is heartwarming. Yeah. Those things
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: where you see, um, The people standing on the side
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: of the road. I think the one that always stuck
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: out to me was that movie that was made a
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: few years back. Clint Eastwood directed it. It was about
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: the guy that went over to Afghanistan like three or
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: four times, and then he came back, and then unfortunately
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: he was trying to help other vets come out of
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: the military and live a normal life, and unfortunately one
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: had PTSD. Not familiar. Oh, you haven't? Brad, what was
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: his name? It's a great movie. And so during his funeral,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: it was down in Texas, people were standing on bridges
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: as the funeral procession was coming on the expressway. And
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: had American flags. I wish I could remember. It was
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: a great, great movie. But people were just standing out
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: there and respecting him. So, anyway. Oh, I'll tell you what.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: When I was flying back from. It wasn't American Sniper,
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: was it? That's it. American Sniper. Yeah. I was thinking
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: that scene sounded familiar. Yeah, yeah. And that was the
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: end of the movie.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: I don't remember Clint Eastwood being in it.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: No, he wasn't in it. He directed it. Gotcha. Yeah,
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: who was the guy, Brad? Bradley Cooper. Bradley Cooper. I
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: got told I look like him once. No big deal. Oh,
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: come on. I don't see it. Somebody told me that once. Wow. Okay.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: All right, that's a wild comment. Yeah, you look exactly
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: like him, by the way. Now I've been messed up
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: again with that comment. My gosh. Okay. I'm not saying
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: anything else. I'm done. One person texted, the rumor for
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: next UK assistant is Roffer Alston, father of Reece Alston,
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: who is a point guard recruit that just visited. Yes.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: I have heard that as well. Okay. that makes more
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: sense because that's how you get a recruit to recruit,
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: to commit to your school, hire their dad. Sorry. You
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: got Mo Williams. Yeah. You got, so do you like
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: the fact if Mark Pope brings in two dads of
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: players that I'm a little concerned about that? I mean,
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: one dad is, is fine. And I think that was
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: a really good hire by the way. I think, I
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: think it was more bringing the dad in the sun,
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: but doing this for the second time, Don't you think
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: that's a little concerning? Not if their dads can coach. Okay.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: If you do what you got to do to get players, right?
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. I understand.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: You can't drop a bag anymore because everybody's getting a bag.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: So what's the next best thing? Hire a family member.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, did I miss a text? Okay. I did. I'm sorry.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Buzz texted in. My response would be thank you for
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: being the first to wish me happy birthday. Every day
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: is special. When I do celebrate, I will think of
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: your kind greeting. That sounds nothing like Michael Bennett. I
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: will copy that and respond every time. But does that
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: sound like me? I mean, a little bit. It does?
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: A little bit, yeah. Really?
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: I can see you telling somebody every day is special,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: and when I do celebrate, I'll think of your kind grief.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: You can hear me saying that? Absolutely. Yeah. Okay. To me,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: I just like, you jackass. This is not my birthday.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Just remember what my birthday is and then happy birthday
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: on that day. That's the way I want to respond,
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: but that's okay. I'll do my best. Thank you, Buzz.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: I will do that. So local John texted in. John,
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Hey, Michael, they might not say it tonight
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: at Big Blue Madness because they have the job posting
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: up to the date you mentioned. However, do you think
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: the person is going to be in the gym tonight?
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Would they just be in the crowd? That's an interesting question.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: What if he is in there or she? What if
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: they are in there and they don't acknowledge him and
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: they're just kind of taking it in and then they decide, yeah,
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: this is not for me. There's no way that would happen. No. Yeah.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: I don't think they would be there. But maybe that, John,
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: I think that's a great comment. By the way, who's
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: going to be the special guest tonight? You know, we
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: tried to guess it a couple of weeks ago. Who
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: do you think it's going to be? Do you think
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: they will have a special guest tonight? Who was my
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: answer a couple of weeks ago? I don't remember. I
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: think I said Reed. I said DeMarcus Cousins. You said
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Reed Shepard. That's right. Because you said it'd be fun
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: if the entire family showed up. Yeah. Which I think
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: would be great. And of course, you know, Jeff was
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Mark Pope's teammate. So that would make kind of sense.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: It's just a matter of whether he can make it
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: or not since they got basketball going on right now
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: with the Rockets. Do they? They're not playing yet, right?
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: They're not playing, but they're practicing. True.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: But he's a millionaire. No problem for him to get
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: from Houston to Lexington.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, you think so? Yeah. Okay. They don't play tonight. No,
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: they don't play tonight. You're right. Okay, well, that would
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: be an interesting one if they decide to have him
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: come up. You know, the other ones we were talking
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: about was Shea Gilgis. Tyrese Maxey would be a good one. Yeah,
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Maxey would be great. Karl-Anthony Towns. But I was just,
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: the reason I said DeMarcus Cousins, because last year they had,
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: wasn't last year John Wall? Yeah, last year was John Wall.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: So I thought, well, if you, yeah. It feels like
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: so much longer. I know. I know. It does feel
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: like it was a lot longer. I don't know why
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: I keep looking at a blank screen of the computer.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: I'm so used to looking at you in the computer screen,
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: and you're not. I guess I should just look at
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: the camera. Anyway, do we have anybody on YouTube watching? Yeah. Oh,
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: we do? Yeah. One. I'll see. Okay. It's okay. You
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: don't have to look. You can read John's next text. Oh,
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: I can't? John has another text? Yeah, you got to
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: do a better job of looking up. Evidently, I am.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: You're struggling. Michael, they may not say it. Is that
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: the other one? I just read that one, didn't I?
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: There's one above the one. Oh, Michael, this will be
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: a good weekend for our cats. Should get this victory
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: and move up in the rankings for sure. Hey, good
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: luck to your Rays, but not too much. much luck
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: because I want my Yankees to win, and I believe
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: they will. Hey, let's just have a good series. I
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: don't want a good series. I want to blow out, okay?
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: I want it to be done in three games. By
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: the way, I'm going to be gone next week, okay?
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: I'll be on the radio. So the guy that complained
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: last week that, Michael, we rely on listening, which I
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: very much appreciate that text. I've got to go up
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: to New York. I possibly have one of my horses
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: racing at Belmont next week, which I mentioned in the
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: first segment. But also, I'm going to go see the
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Yankees and the Rays play next Wednesday night. That's going
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: to be awesome. That, to me, is a bucket list
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: right there. For sure. You know, I've always wanted to
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: see the Green Bay Packers play in a snowfall, a
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: complete blizzard. I think Buffalo would be another place, but
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: it's not the original stadium. So, I think the Packers
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: would be number one. Yankees in a playoff or World
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Series is number two. Especially against your team. Yeah, exactly.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: It's awesome. Yeah, yeah. But we'll see how it goes.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: That's another thing. Now, what am I more nervous about?
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: I'm more nervous about the UK-South Carolina game. Are you really? Yeah,
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: I am. I am so nervous about that it's not
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: even funny. So I don't know. I don't know how
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: to feel about this game at all. Of course, we
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: have a lot to talk about with this game. And
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: kickoff is at 415, which is a weird time, by
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: the way. It is. I'm kind of glad because that
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: is not a night game. I think if it was
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: a night game, I'd be even more nervous. Because nighttime,
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: South Carolina, they play like a completely different team. Who
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: has more pressure on this game? Will Stein to continue
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: the excitement with UK football or Shane Beamer to try
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: and take the bag wearers tomorrow off his back and
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: get back into the winning ways with the Gamecock Nation?
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: I think that's easy. I mean, to me, it's Shane Beamer.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: No question. It is? Yeah. Yeah. Because the one thing
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: that Kentucky has as far as its advantage is the
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: offensive line. I understand that one of the things that
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: South Carolina prides themselves in, especially this year, is their
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: run game as far as defending the running game. So
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: their defensive line plays has been stellar, somewhat. But with
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: the one kid that's not playing Stewart, is it Dylan
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: Stewart in his name? I think that changes the dynamic
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: of that game. So I fully expect UK to come
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: out there running the ball more than we think they will. Now, granted,
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: I think there'll still be a lot of passing game,
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: but I think one of the biggest keys is going
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: to be ball security. And efficiency of Kenny Minchie. Because,
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: you know, he's been exceptionally careful with the football this year.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: He has. And done just a phenomenal job. Do you
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: realize he's only thrown one interception this year? That seems
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: like it checks out. It does? I was kind of
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: surprised by that. I mean, it was a really, really
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: bad one. Yeah. But. Yeah, I mean, I don't remember
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: making any other mistakes, really. I think Jason Patterson has
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: to have a big game running the ball. All the
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: running backs have to be good. Yeah, they do. That's
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: my opinion of the game.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: If Kentucky's able to run the ball effectively, which they
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: should be able to, that's going to make the passing
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: game so much easier, and that's going to take a
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: lot of pressure off of Minchie and not have him
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: wanting to go out there and try to force things,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: which will keep the ball in your all's possession, hopefully.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: South Carolina leads the conference in the run game. they
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: have the best rushing attack in the SEC, averaging a
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: massive 262 yards per game on the ground. And they
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: got a running back named Matt Fuller, who sits fourth
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: in the conference with 384 rushing yards. That doesn't make
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: you nervous. It does me. Well, I'm trying to look
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: up how....
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Kentucky's done in past weeks. So you allowed 88 yards
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: for South Alabama, which that makes sense. But then that
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: game at Texas A & M, you allowed them to
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: rush for 187.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Bama rushed for 155. So you have shown that you're
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: maybe a little susceptible to allowing big running games. attempts
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: so not good maybe water will find its level a
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: little bit in that regard as far as the the
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: numbers the part that does make me feel good it's
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: like okay it's it's south carolina's time to win they've
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: won four in a row right now so they're on
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: a streak can they win five in a row i'm
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: gonna say no from that standpoint that's hard to do
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: especially in the sec so i i um Special teams
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: is a difference with South Carolina. They've got that defensive back,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Bakari Swain, who has returned two punts for touchdown this season.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Wow. And Kentucky has notably struggled containing punt returns. So,
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: it's going to– I just– again, I don't know how
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: I feel. I really don't. But– I feel the same
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: I felt always. You are that confident that UK is
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: going to win this game. I am, yeah. Man, I'm
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: glad you do. Because I need that. Because that- I know,
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: that's exactly right. But- Well, because both of us picked
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: Texas A & M to just beat UK, and we
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: both screwed up with that one. I kind of go
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: both ways. I can see South Carolina winning this game,
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: but again, I still believe, and I believe this wholeheartedly,
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: I believe UK should win this game. Does that make sense? Absolutely.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, we talked about who's got the more
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: pressure between Beamer and Stein. Stein's at the point now,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: at this season, at 3-1, he's And I don't really
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: much care for this term that I'm about to throw out,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: but he's playing with house money at this point.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Will Stein. Yeah. Absolutely.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, just go out there, coach free, have your
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: team play free. At the end of the day, it's
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: just a game. You're playing a game of football.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Don't overcomplicate it. Just go out there and play.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be fun. You should take care of it.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: That would be fun, and I hope they do. We'll
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: do our predictions at the end of the show, but, man,
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: that would feel good if UK got out there and
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: scored immediately. I think that would take the monkey off
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: the back right there. For sure. Knowing that the offense
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: is moving, that gives a little added boost for the defense.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: And so I probably worry about the defense more than
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: I worry about the offense with this game. And I
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: probably worry more about, even more so, the unknowns, the intangibles.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: Because that crowd is going to be into it. Now
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: Kentucky has gone down there and beaten that crowd. They
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: did it at Texas A & M. Can they do
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: it again? So we've got to take another break. If
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: you want to join 502-384-1450, you want to text on
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: the Whiskey Thief text line 502-414-1450. So stay right there.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: We've got more Just Guys coming right up. I said the.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Nation army couldn't hold me back.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: They're going to rip it off.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: Taking their time right behind my back.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: And I'm talking.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: To myself at night because I can't forget.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Is this probably the most popular stadium anthem heard at
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: a football game? What do you think is the, if not,
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: what do you think is the most popular? It's a
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: great question. Yeah, I love, I'll be proud of myself
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: right now. I think it's a good question too. I'd
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: like to know.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: I would probably put all I do is win in
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: over this, especially after a game when the team is
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: just one and they fire that up and everybody's going crazy.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Or maybe even, I think you could make the argument
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: for Don't Stop Believin' as well, as overplayed as that is.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that one's overplayed.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: But, I mean, anytime they fire that up in a stadium,
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: everybody's singing it.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: That, I think, as far as entry, I do not
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: like Sandman that they play. You're crazy. No, no, no.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: At the South Carolina game, you like that Sandman one?
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: That's not South Carolina. Isn't it Virginia Tech? I'm not
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: talking Enter Sandman by Metallica. I'm talking about that one
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: digital one that they play. I don't know what you mean. Okay.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: It's like a tech song. I thought it was called Sandman,
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: but I might be wrong. Whatever South Carolina plays that
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: has no words to it. It's just electronic. Look it
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: up real quick. South Carolina... Entry music or whatever you'd
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: call it. But it's terrible. I can't stand that. But
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: there is a name for it. I thought it was sand,
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: but I could be wrong. Sandstorm. Sandstorm. That's it. Thank you. Yeah. Yes,
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: I can't stand it. They play that. I think that's
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: the worst. I would take Journey over that one. I
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: don't like that one either. So Purdue uses that for
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: their basketball games. Oh, they do.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: And their dweeby students have this stupid dance that they
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: do with it.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's so dumb. Well, see, I love the one
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: Seven Nation Army. Because, you know, the whole crowd's going, do, do, do, do, do, do.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: And I love that. It is a good one. But
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: UofL used to use Inter Sandman, too, by Metallica, like
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: Virginia Tech.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Now their big one is Joker and the Thief, which
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: I freaking love.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know Joker and the Thief. Oh, yeah, you do.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: I do? Okay. Yeah, I know. Well, we'll hear that
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: one in just a few minutes, I bet. But, no, I...
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: I would have to say, to me, it's Seven Nation Army.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: It's my favorite. And maybe Enter Sandman is right after that.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: Because that's a great, that's probably my favorite Metallica song.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's up there for me. It is? I
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: like it. What does Indiana come out to?
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think they have an actual song
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: that they run out to. I think it's just the
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: school fight song. But their big one, especially the last
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: couple of years, has been Hurt So Good.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: You had John Mellencamp at the game the other day.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: So he was standing down there in the field while
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: I was playing and everybody was singing. That was actually
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: pretty cool. Which song was it? Hurt So Good.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: See, I like that. That would be cool to have
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: John Mellencamp there. Here's the Joker in the theater because
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: I'm not playing.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, that song slaps. Yeah.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: I know that song. Love that one. You do love
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: that one. Yeah, it's a good one. I get it.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: By the way, we didn't talk about the Gamecocks quarterback,
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: Lenora Sellers. Yeah. Really? Meaning what? He's terrible. Just not
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: a big Sellers guy. Yeah, I get it. He's a
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: dual threat quarterback. That just really hasn't been that great
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: of a dual threat, has he? Yeah.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: Not this year, anyway. I mean, in years past, he
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: was a lot better than he's been this year. But, yeah,
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: this year's he struggled.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah one person texted in it's called sandstorm so
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: thank you very much I appreciate you letting me know
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: yeah I couldn't think of it I just could not
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: think of a sandstorm I knew it was saying something
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: but uh by the way UK offensive lineman have you
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: seen this Lance Hurd is now a first-round pick in
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: the mock draft. Wow. How do you like that? I mean,
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: that's gone from Alabama game where it's like, okay, this
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: team looks exhausted. I hope they can last the entire season,
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: to now you got players being in the mock draft
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: in the first round. And they have him going to
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: the Bengals on top of it all. Oh, you would
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: love that. Oh, you daggone right I would love it.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: I think all the UK fans would love it. They're
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: going now up to the Bengal, getting season tickets, going
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: to watch that. Are you kidding? That's awesome.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: There are a lot of Bengals Cats fans.
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: Yes. Well, doesn't it make sense, though? I mean, the
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: closest team to Lexington, Eastern Kentucky, Central Kentucky, Cincinnati.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: It's not Titans. It's not Indianapolis. I thought you were
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: going with the Big Cats. Going with the big white.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: And if you're going to be a fan of the Wildcats,
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: you might as well be a fan of the Bengals.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Bring all the cats in. I couldn't agree more.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: It's just a shame that their colors are orange and black.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, I wish it was something else, but it's okay.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: They rock the white and black sometimes. Yeah. Those jerseys
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: are so sick, by the way. I love those. Yeah,
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: that's my favorite Bengal jersey, by the way. And when
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: they switched over back in the, I think it was
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: the 80s. From the boring just bingles on the side
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: of the helmet to the stripes, the tiger stripes. Oh, phenomenal.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: I just, I love them. They are some good looking jerseys.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: And the white ones that they wear with the black
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: is just awesome. So, yeah, you're right about that. No,
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: but you know, Louisville, it's closer to Cincinnati than it
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: is Indianapolis. Yet we're forced to watch Colts game. Colts
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: are the stinking.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: How long does it take to get to Cincinnati?
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: For me, about an hour and a half. Oh, okay.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: And yeah, it would. Yeah. The distance, the mileage is short, too.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, Indy's about two, maybe even less, depending on
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: how you drive.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's a boring drive, by the way. Oh, it's
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: so boring. Yeah, it's so flat. It is amazing how
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: you cross the river, and it's just so flat over there.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: And yet you're over here, and it's kind of hilly,
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: and it's kind of nice. But anyway, I just thought, anyway,
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: all right, we'll leave it at that. One person texted in,
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: Rafa Alston had an 11-year NBA career and has ties
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: to AAU, so definitely will help in recruiting. I agree.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, they've been talking about Alston joining UK for
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: a little while now, and I hope it does happen.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: I just, I don't want it to get to where,
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: can these gentlemen separate that they have a dad on
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: the team to being the coach on the team? So
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: having two dads on there, one is fine, like I said,
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: but two on there is a little concerning.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: Aren't the odds, though, that they've played for their dads
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: for a good chunk of their young career?
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, absolutely. So I don't think that would be it.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: You don't? Now, if they're.
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: Getting favoritism from those coaches because they're their sons, maybe
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: that'll become an issue with the rest of the guys
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: on the team, but I don't see that happening.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: All right, so how hard was it for John Calipari
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: not to play Brad Calipari?
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: Not hard at all because Brad sucked. Yes, but it's
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: got to.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: Be hard on him that you got your son on
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: your team and he can't play at all.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, Brad's probably wanted to coach for... from a
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: very young age. So he did it for the coaching
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: aspect of it.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: I would imagine.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure he enjoyed playing basketball and being
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: the human victory cigar, but yeah, I'm sure he just
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: wanted to be there with Pops to learn from him.
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, Eddie Sutton would be another example. Eddie Sutton
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: had his son on the team. Tubby Smith, we were
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: just talking about Tubby. Tubby had, and of course, got all,
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: between Sutton and Tubby Smith, man, they went through the
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: ringer as far as fans criticizing that their sons were playing.
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: And that had to be really difficult. I mean, did
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: I ask that question when Tubby was on here? I
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: can't remember either if I did or not.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: By the way, any idea where Saul Smith is?
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: Saul? Yeah. I don't know where Saul Smith is. Is
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: he in Lexington?
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: He is an assistant with the Memphis Tigers.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, really? Yeah. Huh. Well, good for him. Right? Yeah.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: Saul has been on this show before. Nice guy. I
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: always liked Saul. But, boy, he just got ridiculed. It's
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: a wild name. Saul? Saul. You don't think Tubby? I
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: know Tubby's a nickname, but you don't think that?
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: When I was growing up, I always thought his name
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: was Saul. Like S-A-W? Because that's how my dad would
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: say it.
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, Saul Smith.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: Then I realized how it was actually spelled, and I
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: was like, I'm so far off.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: I say Saul. You don't hear me say it in
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: the L. Saul? Come on. Nobody says Saul. They say Saul.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: And there's no emphasis on the L. I see Saul.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: Come on, man. All right, Justa. I'm just going to
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: call you Justy. Whatever works for you, man. Okay, yeah,
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to do that. That just sounds so dumb.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: But all right, then. Well, I... It's going to be
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: a fun night tonight, a fun weekend. Of course, tonight,
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: you know, you've got Big Blue Madness, tomorrow the ball game,
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: which is away, but then you've got the open practice
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: for all those that want to join that as well.
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: You've got to join the Big Blue Nation thing over there,
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: but everybody understands why, so you can go do that too.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about volleyball, so stay right there. This is
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: Just the Cats. We'll be right back. Welcome to Just
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: the Cats with Michael Bennett. All right, did you watch
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: the Steelers? Well, of course you did, didn't you? Steelers
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: versus the, who'd they play last night? Browns. The Browns,
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: that's right. Actually ended up being a fun game. Yeah, absolutely.
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: Despite the loss. Did you see Aaron Rodgers get mad?
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: at the sidelines because they weren't seeing a play in. Oh,
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: they were him and McCarthy screamed. Well, they did. So
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: they caught it on the mic. And and of course,
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers drops the F bomb. And then on top
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: of it all, did you see what Mike McCarthy's response
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: back to him was? What was that? Blanking a hole.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's probably not wrong. He did. Everybody has it.
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: There's a clip on it everywhere on Twitter. And it's like, oh,
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: my gosh. What do you think Aaron Rodgers is thinking,
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: knowing his coach called him that? But they've known each
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: other for a long time. They haven't. I mean, they
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: worked with each other at Green Bay. Correct.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: And McCarthy basically, I don't know if he actually apologized,
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: but he basically did in his press conference after the game.
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, he did? Oh, I didn't see that. He said
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: he regretted the exchange. I like the exchange. To me,
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: that just means you're close enough to each other you
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: can say anything. And Aaron was kind of a jerk
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: the way he reacted. Now, granted, I understand why he
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: was upset, but I don't think he needed to react
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: that way. Do you?
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's the heat of battle. I'm never surprised
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: anymore mid-game when you get these things because emotions run high.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, that stuff happens sometimes. Especially, like you said,
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: with two guys that have known each other as long
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: as those two have.
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay. All right. Well, I thought it was funny.
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: I enjoyed it. I'm like, okay, I got to talk
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: to you about this today. And I thought, okay, there
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: you go. One person texts says, do you need to
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: be a horseman or a radio host? This is ridiculous.
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: You'll be gone before the LSU game. All those bad connections.
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: When you're out, I'm out for good. Okay. But then
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: he follows up with another text. So he's not out
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: for good. I hope you're not out for good, Texter.
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: The audio and the app are so bad when you're
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: out of the studio. It is just a joke with
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: what Justin has to work with. Just retire from radio.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: Good grief. Who peed in your Cheerios this morning?
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: P's training camp for Reed's Houston Rockets started September 23rd,
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: so he won't be there. So there you go. Don't
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: be out, okay? I'm doing the best I can. Please
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: don't be out.
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: And the audio will be better next time.
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: And continue to send me these messages. I like reading
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: your messages. It makes me happy. So anyway, 48 Hanley
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: said Saul was king of Israel. They replaced him with
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: a younger, more talented player named David. Gamecock coaches dead
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: man walking. That is true. If they get beat, the
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: execution could be sooner than later. It's true. Yeah.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: I just hope they do a better job than Tennessee did.
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah. What do you mean? With their execution. Oh, my. Oh,
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: my gosh. Too soon? Wow. Yeah. I still think that's
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: a crazy story, but I don't want to. That is
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: just gross. I mean, that whole situation is just.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: Hey, we're going to kill you, but then we're going
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: to bring you to the hospital to save you.
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, I said that yesterday. It's like, that
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: makes no sense. What are you doing? It is wild. Yeah.
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: By the way, LSU has a new NIL offer. Did
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: you see this? Let's hear it. Where you can have
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: dinner with Lane Kiffin. Oh, my God. 100% of the
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: proceeds go to LSU NIL. How much do you think
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: this will go for? Way too much money. See, I
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: think so, too. I think it'll go for a lot
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: of money. And I'm talking most likely six figures. I
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: was thinking seven. Oh, really? Yeah. You think somebody's going
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: to give a million dollars? See, I think those guys
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: probably already know him. This has got to be somebody
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: that does not know him. It's like, this is my
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: way to get to know Lane Kiffin. We're going to
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: become best friends.
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: I don't think it would necessarily be somebody that already
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: knows him. I just think for as much as I
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: dislike Lane Kiffin, there's people out there that feel the
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: exact opposite of me, and they are in love with
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: this dude.
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. You ask any LSU fan. They are so
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: enamored with Lane Kiffin. I mean, it's kind of a
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: gross fest how much they love him.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: You'll have somebody who just wants to have that opportunity
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: and has way too much money. Yeah, I think it'll
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: go seven figures.
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: Really? No, I would not have guessed that. I would
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: have thought probably about $ 100, 000, $ 150, 000. No. And good for them.
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: Way more than that. Wow.
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: Even if it is six figures, it'll be way more
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: than that. Is there anybody? Now, does Lane Kiffin pick.
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: Up the tab? Oh, come on.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: If there's somebody spending that much money, do I get
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: to play alligator arms if I win that?
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: That's a great question. How long is the dinner and
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: who picks up the tab?
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: Because if I just paid $ 600, 000 or whatever, I'm certainly
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: not spending another $ 150, 000 or whatever.
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Yeah. LSU has to be. You know Lane Kiffin's
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: not picking it up. It's got to be LSU picking
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: it up. Lane Kiffin's so rich, he should pick it up.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: Is he really?
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: And you're doing something that's going to help your football program.
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, so the least you can do is pick
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: up the tab. But does he try and write it
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: off to LSU football?
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: A thousand percent. So he gets his reimbursement. That's just
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: being responsible.
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, golly.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, give a little back to the school that's
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: given you so many millions. Maybe not to LSU, but
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: he'll at least use it as a tax write-off.
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: No, I guarantee Houston's it right back to LSU, and
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: they got to pay him for that expense. But is
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: there anybody out there? All right, so you think Lane
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: Kiffin's picking up the check. And how does the conversation go?
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, do you only talk football with him?
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: I would be horrible. See, I'm thinking like, who else
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: would I want to have dinner with?
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: If I were, if I were given this opportunity and
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: the first one that comes to my mind is Kurt Cignetti.
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: But then I initially, or I immediately jumped off of
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: that because he's going to want to talk nothing but football.
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: So you would like to go to dinner with him,
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: but talk about other things. I mean, what would you
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: bring up? What would the subject matter be between Justin
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: Kalen and Kurt Cignetti? Life. Oh.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: I just want to talk about life, you know?
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: I like that. I think he would open up about that.
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, and I'm sure there would be ties to
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: football because I'd be curious, like, why he made certain
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: decisions at certain points in his career. So I'm sure
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: football would be a part of the conversation.
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, I wouldn't want it to be all football.
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: Because I would want to know who influenced you the most,
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: professionally and personally. There you go. Stuff like that. Yeah.
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: I think that's a great one. What's your family like? Yes.
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: That kind of deal. Yeah.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: What kind of car? What's your favorite car you've ever driven?
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: What? That's a weird one. What's your favorite car you've
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: ever driven? I mean, I was just throwing out examples.
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: I'm curious, what's your favorite car you've ever driven? A Hyundai?
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: My Mazda 3, for sure. Oh, okay. Listen, I'm trying
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: to think. I'm kind of in between. My problem would be,
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: I think it would be fun if this happened, if
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: I could choose two people to go to dinner with me.
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: If I could choose two, it would be Rick Pitino
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: and John Calipari. Oh, so they would fight? Oh, yeah.
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: I would be in there, and I would be trying
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: to drive the point. Oh, yeah. I would want shots fired, fireworks,
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: you name it. And they got to stay for dessert.
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: They cannot leave.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to go that route, I'll
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: take Cal and Stoops, and we'll just bring up the
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: football basketball court.
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh. That's another good one. Hash it out, boys. Yes.
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: John Calipari and Mark Stoops would be phenomenal. Yes. I'd
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: love that. How about Rick Pitino and John Schnatter? Former
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: CEO and founder of Papa John's.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know that I would want to sit next
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: to sweaty pizza boy.
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh, man. I'm not saying that. Okay. Well,
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: I'd probably have David Grissom, who you don't know who
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: he is, and the former athletic director at UofL that
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: got fired because of him. Jurich? Tom Jurich. Yeah. That
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: would be interesting. You can come up with all kinds
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: of pairs. Oh, yeah. All right. Pat Forty and Matt Jones.
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: I think that would be a good conversation. Or even
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: more so the former UofL radio guy, John Ramsey and
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: Matt Jones and Michael Bennett. Because I think I love
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: John Ramsey. I think he's a really, really nice. I've
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: always liked John Ramsey. Really nice guy. Genuine person. But,
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: you know, you get Matt in a position where he's
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: with two people that he's not very comfortable with. I
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: would do it. I think it'd be a lot of fun.
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: And then we would randomly invite a UK and a
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: UofL fan to come join us. Ooh, this could be
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: your all's nil thing. I think so. Yeah, raffle it off. Exactly.
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: You three, and then the split the proceeds between the schools?
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: Yes. Between me, Matt Jones, John Ramsey, and or Pat Forty,
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: because Pat Forty hates me. Oh, ever since I had
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: a little battle with him on Twitter, oh, he chewed
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: me out one day after a basketball game. Chewed me out.
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: I just said, it's nice meeting you. And I walked on. So, oh, yeah,
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: he does not like me. And I went up and
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: apologized to him, but he didn't like the apology.
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: Maybe he was just jealous that your gray hair was
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: a little better than his gray.
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, really? No. Of other media members, what would be
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: a fun one to donate NIL to their respective school?
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: Am I missing anybody? Because I think the fun one
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: is between me and Matt Jones. I think that would
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: be fun. You an AC? No. I don't have time
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: for that. So there you go. Yeah. That was probably
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: not happening. I can. Yeah. Yeah. No, no, no. Wouldn't
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: be any amount of money that would get me there. So, yeah.
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: Because the guy claims he's apologized to me and it's like, no,
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: you didn't. Anyway. Yeah. Thanks for bringing that one up.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: That was my favorite radio day of my life.
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: Was it really? Oh, yeah. Why? I'll just.
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: That's a day I'll never, ever forget. Driving away from
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: the studio and listening to you guys.
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: It was fun. I had fun with him. It was fantastic.
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: I did. I thought it was a fun radio show.
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: But he didn't like it much. One person texted, my
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: favorite car, I had a Jeep Cherokee during high school
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: and got into way too many hijinks with it. Heard that.
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: That's cool. I like Jeep Cherokees. That was the first
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: car I bought myself. And I loved it until a
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: lady ran into me and totaled it. Um, one person, uh,
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: 48 Hanley said, I'd asked Kiffin for advice on catching
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: those young girls. I can't catch them anymore. I've resorted
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: to set setting snares. Oh my God. That is crazy.
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: How that does all transpired. Oh, that was such a good,
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: would you sit at a table at, uh, with Rick
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: Patino and ask him what was that night? Like at Valari? No,
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: it wasn't Valari. It wasn't. Okay. Um, Oh my gosh,
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: what is the name of that? Porcini's. Porcini's. Okay, would
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: you ask him any questions about that?
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know because I think, I don't know, that
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: whole situation kind of grosses me out.
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: Like I've eaten at that restaurant one time and when
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: I walked through the door, that was the first thing
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: that crossed my mind. All right, which table was it?
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Would you have dinner with Mitch Barnhart and ask
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: him why did he love the checkerboard so much? Because
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: that's a question he got mad at me with. I
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: personally wouldn't because I think that would be a very
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: boring dinner. Okay. Mitch Barnhart would be boring. I think so.
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: What would be the uncomfortable question you would ask John Calipari? Hmm.
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: I don't think there's really an uncomfortable question for him.
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, he would spin everything in a way
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: where it didn't seem uncomfortable.
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: All right, here's what the dinner would be. It would
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: be John Calipari, Mitch Barnhart, and Michael Bennett. I think
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: that would be the most uncomfortable dinner because those two
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: just did not get along.
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't really have a question that I think
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: Cal would take awkwardly.
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I do. He's too self-centered for that. Oh, you
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: think so? Because I would ask him, why did you
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: think UK's a basketball school? Because they are. Yeah. I
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: still think the Cal and the best one you said
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: is Cal and Mark Stoops. That would have been a
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: lot of fun. Just to fire him up a little bit. Yeah.
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: It definitely would have fired him up without a doubt.
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: By the way, I don't know if you saw this
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: or not, but I thought this was an awesome story.
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: A Missouri man who spent decades... wondering who his biological
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: parents were, recently reunited with his birth father. Okay? Great story.
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: Great story. That's not the end of it. Are you
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: ready for this? He finds out his dad is none
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: other than Michael McDonald of the Doobie Brothers. I thought
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: you said it was going to be somebody everybody knew.
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: Do you not know the Doobie Brothers?
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: I do know the Doobie Brothers, but I'm not familiar
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: with Michael McDonald. He's the lead singer of the Doobie Brothers.
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: I know now. He had a, wow, I'm really, okay,
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: that just shows me right there, generational change right there.
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: Michael McDonald, well, he had his own career by him
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: as a solo artist, Michael McDonald. There are songs out
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: there you know that are by Michael McDonald. Oh, I'm sure. Yeah.
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: I keep forgetting we're not in love anymore. You don't
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: know me, but I'm your brother. Come on, you know
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: that song. And people were going off on Twitter, by
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: the way, and changing the lyrics to you don't know me,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: but I'm your father, which I thought was really funny. Yeah,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: you need to look up Michael McDonald, okay? I'm looking
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: him up right now. And he has a lot of
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: great songs. He was the keyboardist. And he wrote a
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: lot of songs and sang a lot of songs.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: Could you imagine if you figure out who your birth
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: father is and it's some rich man?
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: Like, hell yeah.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: Not just rich, but extremely famous. Buddy, you owe me
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: 60 years of child support.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah. All right, I can do that. I just want
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: to know. Here's what I want to know about this.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: He kind of looks like him. He does.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: But does he sing like him and does he play
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: the piano? I'm going to guess no. Oh, you don't
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: think so? Well, I mean, because you have to be...
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: well-versed in that stuff. Like you, you're not just good
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: at that because you're good at it. You, you have
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: to have practice.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But don't you think biologically you get the same characteristics?
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: Like there are athletes out there. Their kids are really
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: good at the same. Uh, well, they're maybe not the
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: same sport, but sometimes they are. You don't think singers
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: are that way, too, that you have a child? If
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: I'm a famous singer, you don't think my children could
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: be just as good a singer, too? Let me put
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: it this way to you. All right. And I don't
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: mean any disrespect here if he's listening. Yes.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: My dad is the worst singer.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: In the world.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: Now, he has shown improvement over the last several years,
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: but he cannot sing. He can't carry a beat. He
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: can't carry a tune. He's not a good singer. He's
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: really good at a lot of other things, but he
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: can't sing. I can sing a little bit. I'm not
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: over the top good but i i could sing well
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: you got that from your mom i did can she
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: sing she can okay there you go so you got
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: it from your mom but shouldn't i yeah i don't
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: know i don't really know how jeans work i guess
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: i got her jeans instead of his which i'm very
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: thankful for yeah because it's he's horrendous.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: So they're mom jeans yeah mom jeans Okay, well, that
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: was a bad joke. That was. Anyway. I gave you
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: a pity. I just, well, I thought, okay, it would
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: be crazy if he could play the piano and sound
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: just like him. And people say, man, you sound just
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: like Michael McDonald, only to find out he's related to
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: Michael McDonald. I thought it was a great story. I
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: loved it. Pretty wild. Yeah. We're going to take a break,
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: but I want you to play an interview that happened
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: last night between New Jersey Devils sideline reporter asked Jack Hughes,
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: who plays for the Devils, maybe the dumbest question in
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: the world. I want you to look that up, and
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: we'll talk about it as soon as we get back.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: But we'll play that, talk about that. Plus, we got
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: volleyball has a big weekend this weekend, and then we
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: got a bunch of other games, too. as well as
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: what is going on in St. Lucia, Florida. We'll talk
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: about that as well. Stay right there. We got more
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: Just the Cats coming right up. I'm a believer and
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: not a trace. I'm down in my mind.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: I'm in love. I'm a believer.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: I couldn't leave her if I tried. One person said
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: on the Whiskey Thief text line, 502-414-1450, McDonald's, Michael McDonald's
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: best was his duet with Patti LaBelle on my own. Oh,
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: I remember that song. I know you don't. Nope. Yeah,
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: I figured you didn't. Do you even know the name
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: Patti LaBelle? I do. Okay. So you know Patti LaBelle,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: but you don't know Michael McDonald. I don't. Really? Okay.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: But you know the songs I'm talking about from the
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: Doobie Brothers, right? I don't think I do. Come on.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: Maybe I should have picked some Doobie Brothers songs. Without
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: hearing them, it's really hard to say.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: You try to sing them and you sound like.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: A dying mouse. I mean, I can't pick it up.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: My voice isn't that bad. It's not great. One person said,
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: did you ever see where Bill Burr and Billy Corrigan
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: from the Smashing Pumpkins are brothers from the Father Philanderer? Yes,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: I did. And if I remember the interview, there was
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: one interview where Bill Burr was being interviewed and they
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: surprised him with Billy Corrigan showing up. And Bill Burr
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: did not appreciate it. I don't think he liked that
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: whole situation. You know who the Smashing Pumpkins are, right? Yeah.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: I think I played some yesterday. Oh, did you really? Okay.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: And Billy Corrigan is the lead singer from Chicago. And yeah, it's,
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: it's the, I like the smashing pumpkins and Billy, Billy
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: Gorgon seems like a really nice guy. Are you a
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: big Bill Burr fan? Not really. No. See, I kind
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: of feel the same way. I, he kind of comes
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: across like a jerk.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's better than Conan O'Brien, but.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: Okay. Let's leave it at that. Uh, universe, Kentucky, uh,
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: it was announced yesterday, universe, Kentucky men's basketball versus U
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: of L. Uh, which is, we all know, Saturday, December
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: the 12th at Rupp Arena. We'll tip off at 4
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: o'clock on ABC. So it's going to get some primetime
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: appreciation there. And, of course, it has UK preseason 22
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: and UofL preseason 15. Were you surprised that UK preseason
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: and UofL preseason are ranked as low as they are?
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: Not really, no. Really? Because, you know, on the transfer portal,
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: they were some of the top teams, top five teams
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: right there. UK, I think, finished at what? Number two?
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: And UofL, number four? And then, lo and behold, preseason,
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: they have no confidence in them. And UofL, as much
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: money as they spent, they're at 15, and UK's at 22.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: I was kind of surprised by that. I wouldn't say
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: no confidence. I mean, it's just there's a lot of new, right?
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: But that was new every year with the John Calipari regime.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: They were always up there in the top five. with
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: a brand new team every single year. Yeah, no, I
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: understand that. But with Transfer Portal, it's different because Cal
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: is bringing in freshmen. You can kind of project how
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: a freshman season is going to go. You don't know
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: how these seasons are going to go for like your
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: Alex Wilkins from Furman or– You know, all this.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: Stuff is just so fluid. I have kind of like
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: Will Stein said the other day, I don't even know
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: why they rank. It doesn't matter right now. Well, but
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: I know it doesn't matter. But on the other hand,
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: bringing in freshmen where you have you don't know what
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: they're going to be like in college and then rank
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: the rank that team as a top five team in
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: the country. Whereas you have known entities with players that
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: have gotten experience in college, it seems like it would
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: be the opposite effect to me. Freshmen would be ranked
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: a lot lower, whereas experienced college players, to me, would
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: be ranked higher. Yeah, I mean, I don't really know
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: how to combat that.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: Okay. Because I can see it both ways. Can you really?
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, I don't have
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: an issue with the rankings. You don't? Okay. I probably
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: don't either. Because I... I'm just happy UK's ranked in
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: the top 25. I didn't see them going to be
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: in the top 25. I'm glad they're there. If I'm
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: completely honest and transparent, I have no feel for this
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: team at all. I know a lot of people out
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: there are excited. I know a lot of people out
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: there are not excited. I have zero feel how this
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: is and how they're going to work. I think in
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: part to be like, that's kind of cool. I like
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: it because maybe I can relax a little and enjoy
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: this team.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: Well, that's what I was thinking. Or is that just
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: you protecting your heart? Probably that too. But no, I
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: think it's more so not protecting my heart. That is
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: truly the way I feel now with football. It's completely
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: different tomorrow night or tomorrow afternoon. So, but no, with basketball,
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know how to feel about this team. I
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: kind of like that. So we'll see.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, if they do, if Mark Pope does get
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: this one, uh, assistant coach, I kind of feel good
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: about that, especially for the future, but it might be
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: a quick trip for this poor guy. It does not
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: turn out the way a lot of people are predicting.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: It's true.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: And then, then what, you know, I don't know if
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: he loses his job.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm going to feel so bad for him. Are you,
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: because this is his dream job, right? Yeah.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, you, get an opportunity at a place where
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: you played where you grew up and that's that's how
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: it pans out so there there's a large part of
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: me rooting for mark.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: Pope this year yeah Yeah, you would think he's a
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: bit of a sentimental favorite, but, I mean, there are U.K.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: fans out there that have just checked out. And I
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: understand you cannot use the injury excuse anymore. This is
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: three years in a row he's had injuries. You've got
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: to figure something else out. You're consistently– I know it's
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: been the luck of the draw and bad luck of
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: the draw for that fact. That's bad luck. And that happens.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 2: And maybe this is not your path of destiny. So
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I hope it succeeds. I hope he's there.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: But I guess I just don't have a lot of
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: faith right now. And I hate to be that way.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: But I'm not rooting against this team. That's the one
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: thing I don't understand how people can root against your team.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: Just like with the example of Shane Beamer. and so
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: many people that dislike him right now and him fully
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: admitting that. I appreciate he's fully admitting that, but I
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: can't imagine rooting against your own team so you get
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: rid of one person. I'm not built that way. I mean,
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: weren't you kind of like that in Stoops last year? No,
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: not at all. I wanted Stoops to work. I liked Mark,
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: and that was my bias. I wanted Mark to work. But, yeah,
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: at some point, I guess, he's like, okay, it didn't
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: turn out again. It might be time. And that was
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: the best thing. It was the best thing. I feel
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: bad for Mark, but on the other hand, how do
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: you feel bad for a guy that just walked away
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: with $ 30- some- odd million? Sure, right. In the same way with
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: Shane Beamer. At that point, it's like, oh, yeah, I
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 2: forgot that. I don't feel bad for that guy. What
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: is his buyout, I wonder? I don't know what Shane
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: Beamers is. It can't be that much. 27.9. There you go.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: So he's going to walk out with over $ 20 million.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: But it drops to 22.1 after the end of the year.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: So that makes me think they'll wait. They'll wait. They'll
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: save that $ 5 million.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: Nearly $ 6 million.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: Because there's a lot of people that have said, no,
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: they'll fire him as soon as that game's over if
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: UK beats him this weekend.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: If he leaves, he owes $ 4 million.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: That's crazy. Yeah, and so I've often wondered, does he
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: regret not taking the– because you know Virginia Tech came
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: after him because his dad coached– had many successful years
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: at Virginia Tech. Do you think he regrets now not
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: taking that Virginia Tech job? Maybe.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: Easier to win in the ACC. That's the other part too.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: And on top of that, so he makes 8.25 a year.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: That's ninth in the SEC. Isn't that crazy?
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: Wow, ninth?
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: You're making over $ 8 million a year, and you're ninth
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: highest in the SEC.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: Wow. That's something else. Yeah, it's Kirby Smart that has
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: number one paycheck, isn't it? Has to. Yeah. Reports are
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: coming out that the 2014 college football playoff is a
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: foregone conclusion as leaders negotiate with ESPN. Does this mean, Justin,
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: because I know how you feel about this, Does this
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: mean that regular season will mean absolutely almost nothing? It'll
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: mean something, but almost nothing. Say it again.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: What you said initially. I was looking up Kirby's.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay. That's all right. Reports are coming out that
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: 2014 college football playoff is a foregone conclusion. I hate it. Yeah.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: I knew you would hate that. Yeah, it's just too many.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: So does that mean that the regular season really won't
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 2: be as big a deal? It's all about just making
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: the playoffs.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, it definitely doesn't make Notre Dame want to
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: make their schedule any harder, I'll.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: Tell you that. No, not at all, which again is
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: not fair. That has to change, but go ahead. I mean,
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: that's really all I had to say is, yeah, it will.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, the regular season, I mean, with 12, you
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: could argue that it's really not as important as it
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: used to be because- 12 teams are getting in. And
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: same thing when you go to 16. But 24, it
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: feels like too many. You're really going to diminish the
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: regular season at that point. Does that mean the season
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: starts earlier or college football playoffs goes later?
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: Hopefully college football goes later.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: I agree. I hope so, too. But I don't want 24.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: Come on, man. Well, they say it's going to happen,
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: 24 teams.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: Think about the bad teams you're going to have in
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. Ideally, they're going to be top 25 teams,
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: so I don't know how bad you can really say
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: they are, but there's going to be teams in this
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: playoffs with four or five losses.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You put in 24. Yeah, and it's going to
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: be mostly big-tended SEC teams. Duke makes the playoffs. UK
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: makes the playoffs.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: Like, Duke last year makes the playoffs with their ACC title.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: That would have been nuts because they would get murdered. Well,
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: what's going to happen to all the meaningless bowl games then?
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: Will they just dissipate and go away?
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: Hopefully. Yeah. Yeah. They stink anyways. Keep the Pop-Tart Bowl.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: Let's get rid of the rest. Oh, you like the
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: Pop-Tart Bowl because of the way they celebrate. It's gimmicky.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: It's fun. Yeah. But gimmicky works, though, doesn't it? That's
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying. Yeah. Yeah. But I know. Nobody goes
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: to those games unless it's a... Well, I don't even
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: know if I'd go to all the Florida games. It
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: used to be before. I just want to go to
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: bowl games that are in Florida or somewhere warm. No
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: offense to Nashville. You know how I feel about that city.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: I don't want to go to that bowl game. I
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 2: don't want to go to Birmingham. I don't even want
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: to go to Yankee Stadium to see a game.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: How about Memphis? No, that's even worse. That's where Kentucky
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: projected now.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, really? Yep. Liberty Bowl? Yeah. That's just not a
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: good bowl. So that's great that Kentucky's being considered for
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: a bowl game, but I'm just not interested in going there.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: I want to go to Florida. I'm going to go
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: to Orlando, Jacksonville, Miami, Tampa. I mean, I think one
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: of the funnest bowls down there is the one right
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: there in Tampa, Raymond James. What bowl is that? Outback Bowl. Well,
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: it's called something else now, but it used to be
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: for years the Outback Bowl. I would rather go to
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: a bowl in Fargo, North Dakota. Oh, my God. In
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: the middle of winter. No.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: Than go to a bowl in Orlando. Are you kidding me?
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, really? Well, see, I get that. Orlando sucks. Yeah.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: Is there a bowl game there, by the way? Fargo?
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: I doubt it. I thought you were being kind of serious.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: There's a real bowl game there. I doubt it. Okay.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: So you don't like the 2014 clouds. What should it be? 16?
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: 16 is my absolute max.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay. All right there. I don't want to go
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: past that. Okay. All right then.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: Because NFL is how many? NFL, you get 14.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, 14. So 24 would be 10 more teams. So
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: five more games. I don't know. It's just all about
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: the money.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: I'm all here for more football, but that just seems egregious.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: It'll just be all Big Ten and SEC.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, you'll have seven teams from each league.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll be whoever makes it halfway through the season
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: is up in the upper echelon. They'll make it. And
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: it won't be small teams making it. So one person
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: texted in. So Beamer makes $ 8 million to coach and
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: makes $ 21 million if he's fired. No way South Carolina
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: fires him then. I don't know. I just think they're
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: so mad at him that they don't care what it's
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: going to cost. It's just like, get rid of him.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: Let's be done now. Yep. Might as well. Yeah, I
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: know it, but it's just one of those crazy things
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: that's going to happen. So it'll be interesting to see
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: if it does or not. I don't know if you
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: saw this story or not, but there's a crazy story
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: coming out of South Korea. They've adopted a shark named Bukangi.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: And here's the reason why he's swimming around a canal
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: in a city called Busan and has attracted. Are you
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: ready for this? More than 600,000 visitors. Officials in the
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: city have tried to use boats and streams of water
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: to guide the shark back to open waters, and the
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: shark refuses to go and stays in these canals in
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: this small town. Can you imagine a single shark that
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 2: is swimming around in these canals of a city, and
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: it has attracted more than 600,000 people to come see
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: the pet shark of this city?
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, why are we trying to move it?
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know why. I mean, clearly the shark wants to,
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: I guess they think they're going to help it by
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: getting it back out in the open water. Listen, if
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: the shark wants to swim around this canal, let the
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: shark swim around the canal, unless there's people that like
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: to swim in the canals.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm sorry about you. It's shark's home. I'm with you.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: If he wants to be there, let him be there.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: Exactly. I think it's, first of all, It's bringing 600,000
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: people to your city. Don't you think that means something
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 2: for all the businesses around there? Can you imagine if
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: we had a pet dolphin in the Ohio River downtown Louisville,
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: and we're trying to get rid of it and send
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: it back to the Gulf of Mexico?
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: I'd be on the walking bridge way more than I
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: am if we had a dolphin in the Ohio River.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, so have you ever done that walking bridge, by
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: the way? Yep. I've never done it. You should. It's
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: a fun walk. I've done the East End Bridge. I've
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 2: done that one. I didn't like it.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: Especially when you, so if you start on the Louisville side,
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: there's some pretty cool restaurants over there in Jeffersonville once
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: you get off the bridge.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That's a fun little fun little time. Oh, my gosh.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: One person texted in the shark's name is what? Careful
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: with that pronunciation. I'm not saying it again. I'll say it. Yeah.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: Why is that so bad? It's his name. Yeah, it's
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: a cute name. I don't know what it means. I'm
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 2: sure it means something in Koreanese. It means cute shark.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: That's what it means. And Michael's saying it correctly. Leave
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: me alone, Jamie. But no, I thought that was a
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: funny story. I would love it. No, I have not
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: been to that downtown bridge. Can you see through it? Oh, yeah. Oh,
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: you mean like on the bottom? Yes. No, you can't. Okay, good.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: Because I've walked that bridge in Cincinnati. That blue one
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: up there that goes between. Oh, I love that bridge.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: Northern Kentucky and downtown Cincinnati. I hate that bridge. I
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: like that one. I did it one time and one
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 2: time was enough. It was the worst walk of my life.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: The cars driving on that bridge are a little bit
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 2: too loud for my liking. But no, I think that
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: bridge is cool. No, I cannot. I thought you were
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: scared of heights like I am.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, not if I'm on a bridge. I feel
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: pretty safe.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 2: No, I don't. I see that water way down there,
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, I know I'm going to be sucked
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 2: under this bridge and fall.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: I'm only scared of heights when there's a chance that
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: I could fall. But if I've got railings around me, no,
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to be scared of heights.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: Okay. All right. Then I'm glad you're not going to
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: be scared of heights. I am. Ask me in 20 years,
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 2: my answer might be different. Okay. All right. We got
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: to take our last break. We're going to talk about
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 2: some of the games coming up this weekend, give you
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: our predictions, and we have to talk about UK volleyball.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: They've got a big weekend, this two-game series between two
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 2: different teams. So let's talk about that as well. Stay
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 2: right there. One more second at Just the Cats. We'll
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 2: see you in a minute. You've got to love another
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: man You know, that's the one thing that I really
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 2: appreciate that you do, is play this before every game
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 2: that we have. Oh, yeah. That is a song that
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: makes me so happy.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: Gotta get the people pumped up.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you do that. You do a wonderful job
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: at it. You've done a great job this week, as usual. Thanks, sir.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: One thing that didn't have one player pumped up yesterday
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: was the post-game, or I should say, halftime interview yesterday.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 2: If you haven't seen it, go check it out. It's
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 2: New Jersey Devils. Jack Hughes did not like the question
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 2: that he was asked. Go ahead and play it, Justin.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: We have 40 minutes to go, so we got to
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: keep working at it. Well, it's great to see you healthy.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 2: Let's wrap you in bubble wrap and use plastic cutlery
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 2: this year. Does that sound good? I mean, I think
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: that's a weird joke. Big game. How do you like that?
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 2: All right. If you don't know the story. So Jack
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: Hughes was at a dinner last week, a team dinner,
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: and he got his finger cut by a broken glass.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: And this reporter comes up and tries to make a
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: joke about it, which, you know, hockey players are not
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 2: big jokesters, by the way. They're tough guys. And he
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 2: took offense to the joke. Do you think that was
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 2: appropriate for her to talk about plastic cutlery and bubble wrap?
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: Or do you think that was inappropriate? I don't have
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: an issue with it. I think she was just trying
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: to let some of her personality shine. I mean, it
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: is a weird thing to say, but. I think the
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: timing was off. The timing was off, yeah, but overall,
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: I don't really have an issue.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: You don't? Okay.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: By the way, is their hallway back to their locker
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: room's ice?
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: No, it's rubber.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: That's what I thought, but if you watch Hughes skate
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: off the ice, it's almost like he keeps skating down
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: the tunnel.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, really?
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: Normally when they get off the ice, they're walking. But
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: if you watch him in this video.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 2: I didn't see that.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, check it out again because it looks like he
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: keeps skating.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 2: Okay. So if their hallways are ice, that would be awesome.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 2: That would be cool. But no, why would they have that?
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know. That would be a lot of money
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 2: without a doubt for them to do that.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: Way more convenient for the players than having to try
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: to walk on those skates.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 2: Now I got to go see this. I mean.
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, it looks like he skates off. If
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: you go watch it, he didn't think it was funny
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: at all.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 2: She's laughing. And of course, everybody's criticizing now. It's like, okay,
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: can we be done with these interviews? I think people
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 2: are getting sick of them. He was the hero of
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 2: the Olympics, right? Or was that his brother? Oh, I...
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 2: I can't remember. I don't remember which way it was.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 2: I can't remember. It was... Yeah, I think it was Jack,
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 2: the one that... Okay.
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: Remember he had the bloody lips?
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. How could you forget that? By the way,
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 2: it does look like he's skating off. Doesn't it? Yeah.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 2: That's weird. Because normally they come to a complete stop.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: And they'll take steps. And they take a step. Yeah.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: And he's not taking a step. I think he's going
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 2: underneath the stadium chairs and it looks like he is
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 2: stinking skating. Yeah.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: I think they're, I think their hallways are ice.
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 2: Now I got to know. Okay. All right. Yeah. We
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: got to find out if the hallways are ice. That
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: would be the coolest thing ever. All right. UK volleyball
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 2: has a tough weekend. Very usual. Yeah, nothing different. And
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 2: you know what? I think Craig Skinner loves it that way. Tonight,
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 2: they are at Auburn. Auburn's not ranked, but again, it's
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 2: still an SEC team, and it's down there at Auburn. 3-0. What?
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 2: Break out the brooms. Oh, you think they're going to
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 2: sweep them.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 2: 7 o'clock tonight, and then on Sunday is the really
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 2: tough game. They will face October 4th at 8. 30,
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 2: a late game, down in Florida against No. 7 Florida.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 2: So they'll be in Gainesville. That's going to be the
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 2: good game right now. That'll be a tough one. Yeah,
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 2: that one will be tough. I'll go 3-1 there. You will? Yeah.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, this team's battle-tested. They're not going to see
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: anything this portion of the season that they haven't seen already.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. All right, other games this weekend. You got No.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 2: 7 Alabama playing No. 16 Mississippi State. Uh, that's going
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 2: to be in Starkville noon on ABC. To me, I'm
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 2: kind of surprised that game's at noon. You know, the
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 2: television has really screwed up some of the really good games.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 2: You would have liked to have seen Texas and Tennessee
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 2: at night last weekend, but they said, well, we had
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 2: to choose. And we really thought the LSU game would
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 2: be a big game. And then this is a game
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 2: right here. Mississippi state. Who's been the absolute surprise of
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 2: the sec. Playing at noon against Alabama, I guess that's
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 2: one of those other situations. We never dreamed Mississippi State
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: would be good. And here they are. Who are you
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 2: cheering for in that one? Oh, that's easy. Mississippi State.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: Shouldn't you cheer for Alabama, though?
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 2: Why? Oh, because they are to beat Kentucky? Yeah. I
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: see what you're saying.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: You want them to be as good as possible, right?
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: You're probably right. Yeah, because it makes Kentucky look better. So,
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: you know what?
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 2: Justin, you just changed my mind. I'm probably rooting for
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 2: Alabama then so that they look better. I could do that.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: I'm just always for the underdog. And Mississippi State is
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 2: kind of like Kentucky. They're always the underdog. Never well
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 2: respected when it comes to football.
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but if you want to be like the rising
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: powers right now in the SEC are Kentucky, Mississippi State.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: I'd even argue maybe Missouri. So you want Mississippi State
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: to lose, so that even makes Kentucky better.
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're exactly correct. So I could not agree with
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 2: you more. Number eight, Florida is going to be heading
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 2: over to Columbia, Missouri to play number 25, Missouri. Uh,
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 2: that's at three 30 on ABC. I, I listen, I
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 2: think this is going to be an absolute blowout. John Summerall.
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: I know it's early in the season, but he's got
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 2: it going on at Florida. And that, that Florida fan
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 2: base is thanking their, their angels up there for bringing
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 2: John Summerall and not Lane Kiffin. Cause if I had
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 2: the choices between the two coaches, I'm taking John Summerall
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 2: way before I'm taking Lane Kiffin. Absolutely.
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: And all that drama that is associated with Lane Kiffin.
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: I'm right there with you. If you're Missouri, good luck
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: stopping Jaden Ball. Yeah, I don't think they're going to.
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: He's awesome.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 2: Auburn's headed to Knoxville to play UT. That's at 3.30
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 2: on ESPN. I think that will be, I mean, that
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 2: might be an interesting game for about a half, but
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: that's kind of it. So I think the other big
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: game outside the conference is going to be number five,
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 2: Ohio State. I'm going to be number 14's Iowa biggest
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 2: fan outside of Iowa. 330 on CBS. That's going to
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 2: be a good game. And so you feel the same way.
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 2: Anytime I want to see a team beat, it's Ohio State.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm just glad that they're playing at Iowa because
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: they're Maybe the whole country is not privy to the
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: tradition that Iowa has. The wave to the kids. That
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: is one of the neatest traditions across all of college sports. And,
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: of course, that's where game day is going to be too,
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: isn't it?
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: And I predicted Ohio State was going to miss the playoffs,
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: so I really need them to lose this.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah. If they lose.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: This, then lose to Indiana and find one more loss
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: along the way. My prediction may be right.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but Ohio State, if they have two losses, they're
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 2: still making the playoffs, aren't they?
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: Well, they're going to have at least two because they
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: lose to Indiana.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 2: Jeez. Okay. All right. Vanderbilt is going to be headed
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 2: to number two University of Georgia at 1245 on the
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 2: SEC network. I know what you were saying about that
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 2: game during the break. Blowout City USA. Yeah. And then
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 2: LSU winds up the night at 745 playing.
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, tough game. McNeese State. So that'll be on the
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: SEC network. Do we think Will Wade will be there?
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: Has to be, right? With his ties to both schools,
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: he'll have to be.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, he'll probably be over there on the
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 2: football sidelines of McNeese State trying to see if anybody
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 2: would want to come play football. I mean, basketball for him.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 2: Probably wouldn't be a bad strategy. I guess the only
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 2: game that I think is the best one of the weekend,
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 2: besides UK-South Carolina, is going to be that Alabama-Mississippi State game.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 2: And I know you're going to say Ohio State-Iowa just
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 2: because it's a big team, but I'm talking about the SEC.
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 2: I don't disagree with you on that. Yeah, yeah. Uh,
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 2: but all right. Uh, so how much time we got
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 2: four minutes, three minutes.
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: We have got three minutes.
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 2: Okay. Three minutes. Let's talk about the game. Uh, UK
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 2: has to play a clean game tomorrow. I think that's
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 2: true of every single game they got coming up. They
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 2: have to be extremely clean tomorrow, uh, and somehow be
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 2: able to contain their quarterback, which you and I agree
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 2: with that. Not very good, but he's one of those
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 2: dual threat things. I think Kentucky's prepared for that. especially
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 2: how they were able to handle Texas A & M.
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 2: The running game is what has me worried with South
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 2: Carolina because they're really good on the running game. What
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 2: are you worried about the most, if anything, with UK
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 2: playing South Carolina tomorrow night?
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, I really don't have many worries.
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 2: I still can't believe that.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, I guess if I'm slightly concerned about anything,
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: I'm still not sure what to make of that special
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: teams unit. That would be my one thing where I'm
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: kind of concerned. But, I mean, overall, I just think
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: this is a game that Kentucky should win. If they
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: run the ball effectively, like I said, that's an advantage
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 1: for them in this game. That will open up the
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: playbook offensively and allow Kenny Menchie to try to do
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: some more things. So, I just– my main key is
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: run the ball effectively and that this is a game
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: you should win. And dare I say hand. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: Dare you say it. And I believe that. I really
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: believe that could definitely happen. I just see it going
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: both ways. But more than not, I see UK winning
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: this game. So the only part that I probably besides
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: the special teams is the wide receiver. And you said
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: it earlier this week that, okay, it sounds like a
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: game where the tight ends are going to catch the
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: ball and have the ball.
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 2: Pass through them. I hope that is the case. Exactly. So,
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 2: and UK clearly has an advantage there. And Kenny Minchie,
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 2: he has to continue just to get better. I mean,
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: he's getting, he's gotten better every single game. I really
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 2: think so. And that, and the best part is the
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: offensive line has gotten better every single game. So prediction wise,
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 2: what are you thinking? You know what? Screw it.
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: I took, from a gambling perspective, I took Kentucky minus
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: two and a half earlier this week. I think I
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: shorted myself by a large number.
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: I'm going Kentucky 37, South Carolina 20.
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 2: Wow. 17 point win. Call me crazy, but that's what
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 2: I am calling you crazy because I'm probably right there
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 2: behind you. I'm thinking this is going to be a
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 2: 14 point win for UK. And that makes me feel
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 2: even worse that you and I think this is going
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 2: to be a blowout.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: And now it's going to be a complete loss. Your
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: mindset completely flipped throughout the week. I've been staying steady
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: the whole week.
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 2: I know, but I'm going to let my heart rule
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 2: my head and say, okay, I'll buy into it. You've
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 2: talked me into it, Justin Kalen.
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 2: UK's going to win this game. That's how we end
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: a week. Exactly. We're going to have a fun day
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 2: on Monday because now UK's going to move up in
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 2: the rankings, and then we get ready for LSU. So, everybody,
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 2: have a great weekend. Appreciate you listening this week, and
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 2: we'll see you Monday on Just the Cats. Thank you.
