  Speaker 1: I'm just trying to tell you you got to be careful.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: And you hope that she doesn't listen to you on
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the radio, cause you'll say something and then she'll come
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: You'll come home and she'll ask what did you mean
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: by that? And that's happened to me, Like, for instance,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I was telling uh Dale Romans the trainer out Chill
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Downs the other day. I have to leave Wednesday night
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: to fly out to Spokane, Washington for my wife because
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: her mom passed away and that's where she's going to
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: be buried. And so I have to leave Wednesday night.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I'll come back Sunday. And you know, I'm talking about
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: all the big races at Churchill Downs. You got Stephen
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Foster this weekend. It's now up to two million dollars.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Person got everybody in it. And she looked at me
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: and says, it's okay, you don't have to go. And
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Dale Romans looked at me and says, don't you fall
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: for that? That's a trap. And his wife, Tammy's right
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: there at Tammy Fox and she's like, yeah, don't don't
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: that you need to go. So I'm going. Of course
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I'm going, but I'm not gonna fall. That's one of
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: those traps you have to watch out for. When they say,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: oh you don't have to go, that means you had
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: better go. Oh well, I mean I already know that. Okay.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Paulina does that stuff now, oh she does.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: She like, she'll Her thing is she'll want to go
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: do something or go get something, so she'll be like,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: you know, it'd be you know, she'd be like, you know,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: ice cream sounds really good. I'm like, And then her
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: trick is she'll ask me if I want to go
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: get ice cream, and then she's expecting me to say yes,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: just because I know she wants to go.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: But if I say, I mean I don't really want it,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: then she just won't go. You know, she just wants
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: me to say so I'll be like I have to say, yeah,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: for sure, I'd love to go get ice cream, even
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: though that's literally the last thing I could care about
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: right now, because I can't say we can go get
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: it for you. No, she wants to eat it with somebody.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: She don't eat by herself. She's that stuff now. Yeah, yeah,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: don't say, here's five bucks set in about twenty minutes. Yeah,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: it's not what you want to do.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Like for instance, last night you mentioned sweets, Patricia made brownies.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I said why did you make brownies? And it triggered
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: her because she said she has a client that got
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: a divorce and made the comment to Patricia, you mean,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I can make brownies anytime I want to. I don't
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: have to worry about somebody ridiculing me. The only reason
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I said is because I'm trying not to eat sugar.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I don't want to gain all my weight back. I mean,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: you just don't have to eat it. You're right, but
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: they're right there in front of me, and there it's
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: got the whole house smelling like a brownie. Look.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: So we had our engagement party on Friday. Yeah, I said,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: we had a bunch of family members and friends over. Well,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, like he's really invite by the way, you're welcome. Yeah,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: like family and friends, and Michael Bennett was not invited.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: So I'm not family, nor am I a friend. Colleagues
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: weren't on that list a colleagues.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I'm a colleague.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: I mean we worked together. Okay, all right, fine, but
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: you said you liked me.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I do. We're you know, we're we're friends. There you go.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I wasn't invited.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: But like I've said before, her sister bakes and she made,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, like hundreds of cookies for this really for
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: this event, and they're all on a trip this week,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: so they're just at her house.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: So I eat maybe ten cookies a day right now.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Wow, that's not good. You can't be doing that because
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: but they're good.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: They're good, and they're just like if I'm ever like,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: oh I could use a snack, I go in the kitchen.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: There's like a hundred of them. Oh my gosh. Okay,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: you know you think her sister would send a few
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: cookies Michael Bennett's way, because you know, if she did,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I would be mentioning her name on the radio show.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I can bring him in tomorrow and then guess what,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: it hadn't happened, So therefore I'm not mentioning your name.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: There's a bag of I can bring the bag. No,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I can't do it. I just can't. I mean, I uh,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: last thing I need. I've turned to fruit. So I
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: mean I'm fruity Michael Bennett. Okay, we already knew that. Ah,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: there we go. Okay, but all right, So I really
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: think the big news is not about Kentucky today. I
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: really think the big news of yesterday and today is
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: what is going on at the University of Michigan right now.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I mean that has become really the center of conversation
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: throughout the country because, if you haven't heard yet, Dusty made,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: the head basketball coach for Michigan is no longer the
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: head coach of the University of Michigan. He's headed to
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Dallas to be the head coach of the Mavericks in
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: the NBA. And I looked at this and I'm like, Okay,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: here goes another college coach the NBA. How long is
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: it going to take him to learn that maybe I
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: should have stayed in college. This whole thing where college
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: coach is going to the NBA for the most part,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: has not worked. Billy would you say Billy Donovan was
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: his success in the NBA somewhat? I mean kind of
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: like he has a good career, Like it's not like
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: he went in there and just burned out immediately. He didn't.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: But what other college coach has gone from the NBA
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: are from college to the NBA succeeded?
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: I mean was okay? He was okay? He wasn't great.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Brad Stevens or is he today? Brad Stevens is probably
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: the only one. Is there anybody else? John cal Perry
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: wasn't successful. Rick Pattino I would say, was eh, And
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Billy Donovan I would say, was he was okay?
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's not a lot. There's another I'm not
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: thinking of. There isn't so I I just if you
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: want to text me tell me who you think five
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: two four one four fourteen fifty on the Whiskey Feed
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: text line. You can do that. Oh, by the way,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: you can listen to us on YouTube. You turned us
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: on YouTube, I think, didn't you. Yes, the camera's on.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: But you can go to a Big X Sports radio
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Louisville and then look at my uh good looking face.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: I look good today. By the way, this is my
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: father's day President I have on today so brand new shirt.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I like it, very comfortable. All right, So what did
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: you think when you saw the news yesterday that Dusty
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: May was What was the first thing you thought of?
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: What the hell? Really? That's it?
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, in all honesty, the first thing I thought of,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: yes was you know this was a coach that Louisville
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: and Kentucky were both.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it was to the point.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Where, I mean there was reports that Louisville even had
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: press conferences set up for him and I'm ready to
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: go exactly was going to be the head coach.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Then he backed out.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: I went to Michigan and the whole thing was, Okay,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: is Pat Kelsey really the guy? Or is he just
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: a last minute grabbing this and that? And look, I
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: was having the mental debate of if I knew my
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: head coach was going to be gone in two seasons,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: but he brought me a national championship? Is that okay
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: with me?
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Well? Hold on, it doesn't end there. He comes there
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: for well really one season, wasn't it when he in Michigan?
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Just one season? Or was it two. It was two Okay,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: he was there two seas, when'd you h a national championship?
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: But that third season he's gone and your entire team
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: is most likely going to be gone. Yeah.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Do you want to start it all over for just
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: one national title? And that's what that's what was like
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: racking in my brain.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Yes, because when you hire Dusty May, you obviously know
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: that he's been to a Final four before, so he
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: has some pedigree, right, You obviously don't know you're gonna
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: win national championship in his first real season as your
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: head coach.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Would I It's the same question here all the.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Time, like, hey, would you take one football championship for
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: nine years of basketball mediocrity?
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Year? Would you know what I mean? Would you take? Yes?
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: You know it's that one that we always do in
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: radio all the time. Yeah, yeah, but it's real life.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: So I was sitting here thinking if he came to Louisville.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: I try to put myself as if we really got
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Dusty May, if he brought me a championship in two years,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: just to be getting a new coach again, would I
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: be okay with that?
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Yes? I would? Would you really? Yes? I was? I
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: really I struggle with it, is it worth one title
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and then go back straight to mediocrity. I really have
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: a hard time with that. Is it is it worth
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: number nine? To Michael Bennett.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: See the way I thought about it this way, if
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: it was ten years ago, I would say it's not
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: worth it, because why getting a new coach is rebuilding
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: your entire program. It's starting from the ground up. There's
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: no like transfer portal, there's no anything like this. But
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: if you brought in Dusty May and you had him
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: for one and I we'll say one and a half season,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: because their first season, that's not even their full roster.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: It's a bunch of you know, band aided guys put together.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: We'll say one and a half seasons, and he brings
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: you a championship in that second year. Not only is
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: it good onto him, it's you know, it's a good
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: resume piece, but it shows that your university is willing
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: to back whoever brings in there has the funds for,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: it has the resources for, it has the infrastructure for
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: it to win at a high level immediately. So therefore,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: if you're a younger coach coming up, or you're a
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: guy who has got who every single time is a
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: coach opening that you know, you're getting your phone calls
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: ringing off the hook like a Dan Hurley or something
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: like that. That school is now a place that you
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: probably woudn't land at, Like, hey, Dusty mat won a
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: championship with these guys in a year and a half.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: It took them no time. If I went there, I
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: know I've already won one or two championships. They're gonna
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: give me whatever I want. They're gonna give me this,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: They're gonna give me that. Whereas you know, okay, they've
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: won a championship before, but it's not been for like
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: twelve years. They've had the same coach, So yes, you
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: don't want to go through the coaching cycle again. But
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: at least Dusty may having that ability, Michigan having that
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: ability to win a championship that fast, just like Indiana football.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Now it has them on the map as like coaches
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: are gonna say, well, even though it's a football school,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: they're willing to rendust like, I'll go there, so I
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: would take it. I would take the one championship.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: But my problem is now you don't know of course,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: they said the assistant coach, Mike Boyton is going to
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: take over. I don't know if that helps her not
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: keep the players there. But man, if I'm a player,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: I didn't come to Michigan to play for Mike Boyton.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: I came here to play for Dusty May. And I'm
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: to a point now because you know, once they named
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: the coach, which is which is? The interim coach has
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: already been named and it doesn't count, though, does it?
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: I think it has to be like a full does it. Really?
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I don't think the interim coach counts, okay, so as
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: far as transfer portal for fifteen days.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Because if it does, then like that's a really bad
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: move on Michigan to just immediately announce a head coach,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Like they should have If
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: the interim coach counts towards that transfer portal for them,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: that seems like they should have waited a little bit
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: so they get say, oh.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Who's available? Though, I mean, you were in this is
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: the first of July, and I know it's a week away,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: but we're basically at July. Who are you going to
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: hire right now to be your head coach? And not
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: only that, how many players can you say from leaving
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: because I can tell you right now, I would think,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: and this is purely guessed, vast majority of that team
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: would want to leave, probably somewhere else. You're gonna like.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: The thing is, if you're a Michigan, you're set in
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: a situation where you are, Yes, you have a roster
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: and a bunch of guys who are coming back, but
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: you're gonna have to sell them on a new coach
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: exactly that you're going to have to buy out of
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: a contract now, right, So, not only did you just
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: spend however, let's say it seems like it's about an
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: average number. Now, the schools that are, you know, Michigan level,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Kentucky level, duke level, are spending upwards above twelve or
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: thirteen million dollars a year. Now, that's just where we're at. Right,
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Let's say they spend fifteen, because I just want to
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: ask of brow these guys back. Not only you have
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: to spend that, you're probably gonna have to spend upwards
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: of ten plus million dollars to buy a code s
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: out of his contract to bring him in, because you
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: can't just go grab some mid major guy with a
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: three hundred thousand dollars buyout that the fans are not
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: gonna lie you do.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: You just want a national championship. You can't go you
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: can't go.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Get a dude from go down Saint Margaret Mary of
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: the Woods and then hope that in three years you'll
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: get another good coach.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: You have to win now.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: So I don't know where they're going to get the
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: money from, but I guess it's the Big Ten.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: They can do whatever they want. So well, Michigan doesn't
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: lack money, that's for certain, and they can't afford that.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: But I just I look at this and I think, man,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: can this be an Auburn situation where Bruce Pearl leaves
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: and his son takes over and they keep most of
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: the players, and look look how that turned out. They
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: want an n yep bee. I don't think it'll be
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: like that. You don't think it'll be like that. I
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: think it has every chance to be like that. I
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: don't think.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, Dusky may had not been there long enough
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: to kind of build that like the trust and that
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: kind of staff, or it's like, you know, Bruce Pearl
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: been there forever, you know, like Stephen Burrows' son, he'd
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: been on his staff for an extended period of time
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: and there's like a trust between him and the university,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Like Dusty may I want James there year and a half,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean? So like I don't think
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: that this the staff or I don't think university nor
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: the fans would be like I one hundred percent okay
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: with this guy that I just met last year being
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: our head coach for the foresee of a future.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: They're gonna want some way they at least know the
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: name of Well, a lot of people were predicting that
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Nicola Costa Rica as I like to say, Costa Rica
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: was going to be committing to Michigan. So now does
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: this put him back in play with Mark Pope and
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: you vers Kentucky. Yes, absolutely it does, and if if
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: if Mark Pope and Moe Williams can do their magic,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: you know, girl a little more beard. By the way,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: I think that has been the greatest thing for Mark
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Pope and given him all kinds of confidence that uh
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Nicola will come to UK. I hope, So that would
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: be a good late get for you UK. And with
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Dusty Magone, I kind of feel like man UK should
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: have a good shot at that. I don't know, you're
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: coughing a whole lot, aren't you. Man?
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: I feel bad for you, like I mean, I don't
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: like feel sick, like it's not, it's just the fact
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: like there's I can just there's just so much like
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: mucus and stuff.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I'm just so congested. Yeah, I get it. I feel

  Speaker 2: you to the second engagement.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Oh oh thanks, yeah, for all the sloppy seconds exactly.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm trying to think he would be the
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: sloppy second invite there, it'd be Michael Bennett top of
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: the list. Who else would be in the slot? I
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: bet you invited Roman to your party. Of course, of
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: course you did. And I've been friends with you longer
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: than Row.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: That's not true, Okay, all right, I'm not Roman before

  Speaker 3: I'm talking about man who is that actor by though,
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: Michael Keaton.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Michael Keaton is hilarious in that movie, and I, yeah,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: I know what you're talking about. You can't say creep
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: three times without knowing you're referring to TLC.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: I love that he gives him like his wooden gun
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: back in the middle of the movie, and he's like,
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: he's like, he even buffed it for you.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: We might want to thank him. He took our shoes.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: What a great movie.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: My favorite comedy movie of all time? Is it really
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: not even close?
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: That would the other guys really? Yeah, every time I
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: do see it, all I have to watch it. I
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: would not say it's my favorite of all time. Probably mine.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: It goes dates. It's probably Caddy Shack. I mean anything
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: with Bill Murray Caddie Shock is really good.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: I just think it's it's one of those where like
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: all of the jokes hit exactly the same.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Everything, like every scene is quotable.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: There's the one, like, my favorite scene in the whole
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: movie is when they're about to go to his girlfriend,
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: his ex girlfriend's house, and they're in that bar.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, it keeps.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Turning around and singing the old World War two songs
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: and then we're continuing his story.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: It's my favorite scene in the whole movie.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: It's because mar Walmart just sits there and waits for
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: him to finish every time, and he goes, it's it's
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: it's I love it.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: It's Christina. Are you coming to my house? You get
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: my wife's name, right? I bet there's only two people
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: out there that my wife will watch this movie with me.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: It's like, do we have to watch this again? I
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: don't get this movie. I think only guys really like
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: this movie.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: The underlying joke that every attractive woman ever loves him
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: is hilarious.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: He's like, is that j loo? I do I love?
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: I just I love that movie. But anyway, let's get
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: to a couple of text five two four one four
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: fourteen fifty on the Whiskey Thief text line, Oh, how
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: guys said, I'm sure Tyler Hero is happy to leave

• 23:03
  Speaker 1: the Bucks. What did you think of that trade?
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, it doesn't really surprise me. Like the dude
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: who's played in Milwaukee forever. A lot of people want
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: to play in Miami just because it's Miami. Yes, And
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: the only thing is this kind of gave me the
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: vibes that Yannis is not really trying to compete for
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: a championship anymore because he's leaving Milwaukee, a team where
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: he's surrounded by young talent, Like it's not great, great, Yeah,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: he's going for money. He's going for Miami because now
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: he's going to a team in Miami, he just has
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: nobody around him, not it's just him and basically Bam out.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Of Bayo, And I mean it's gonna be interesting.

  Speaker 3: Sam out of Biyo has been in the league for
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: a while now, Yeah, might probably be coming out of
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: his prime here.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: So it's just you had a choice fort Miami or
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: the Celtics. One was gonna, you know, make you immediately
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: a contender in the East. The other one was immediately
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: going to give you a nice paycheck and give you
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: a nice house on the Bay. And he shows the
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: house on the Bay.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting to see what Tyler Hero's wife

  Speaker 1: thinks about this, because you know, she's isn't she from
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Cuba or South America something? Now she's moving up to Wisconsin.

• 24:41

• 24:45
  Speaker 1: UK players are not gonna be playing uh much anymore.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: You know. It's the one thing we've been happy about
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: in the NBA. Hey, I get to watch a UK player.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, such and such is on this team, and
• 24:56

• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Do you like the name of that show? Yeah, Toty
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: and Freddy in the Morning. Yeah, that's not a bad name,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: right though, Tudy, do you like the fact that people
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: still remember your nickname? Toutye follow me? Yeah? And that
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: god that was over a year ago, wasn't it. Yeah?
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Pretty close that that was revealed. Uh Buzz texted out.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Current college free agency is much worse than NBA free agency.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Coaches feel like they can coach anyone. Why start over
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: every year with a new roster, take the NBA money
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: and run.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: I mean that's what That's what Dusty May said yesterday.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: He said that his the reason for him leaving is
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: not the money that could be whatever, Yeah, he says,
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: not the money. He says, it's because we don't know
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: where the stay of college basketball is gonna be in
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: five years. We don't know if it's gonna change. We
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: don't know if it's gonna stay the same, you know,
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: if it's gonna be get worse. And he left because
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: he wants to, you know, have job security.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, we'll talk about some of the rule changes
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: that they're trying to come up in a few minutes.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: But uh yeah, coaches don't. That's why you see so
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: many coaches that have gone out. They're just done. Nick
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Saban left for a completely different reason. I'm gonna tell
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: you why. That's he had a stronghold on how he
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: was getting players to come to Alabama and uh, you
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: had to say Merzies miss dealership. It's well that too,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: and it's going to be revealed one day how he
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: got so many players. Okay, even though I think ed
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Orgeron definitely said it best, but we had money coming
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: into We got just as much money coming in the
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: front door as we did the back door. I mean,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: it's just like that tells you everything you need to know.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Why is in the NCAA investigating that.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: The thing about me, The thing about the situation for
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: me is it makes me feel like his situation like
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: ed Orgeron, you know, has been open about it. There's
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: been coaches all around college football that have been open
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: that they did stuff before in basketball the same way.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: Who was then the Kentucky player or whatever that was
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: on like a podcast couple months ago, like, of course
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: we used to pay players back then.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember that. I don't remember who it was.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: I forgot who it was.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: But he says as a joke too, and people are like, ah,
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: of course makes sense. The thing with Alabama is he
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: is going against him. He's working so hard to kill
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: the narrative was Nick Saban. Nick Saban's working so hard
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: every time the joke is brought up against Alabama, He's
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: defending it with his life.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it gives me the feeling that some really weird.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Stuff was going on over there, and he's trying to
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: like cover it up because everybody else is being opened
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: that like, yeah, of course we used to pay players.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Aha, we do in the front door. What are they
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: gonna do right now?
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: Nick Saban is defending it as if like his legacy is.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: On the line, the line.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: But if but if he came out and was like,
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: of course he used to pay players, nobody's gonna careybody's
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: Everybody's like, well, we knew that, we kind of figured.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: But the way he's so defensive about it, Pete Roads
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: makes me feel like there's like underlying things that were
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: going on besides paying players much worse exactly, That's what
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: makes me feel.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm the same way. It's I just hope somebody
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: comes out with.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: It, because every time someone comes at him, he looks awkward,
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: he looks uncomfortable about it.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, who is the comedian that said it? On game
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: daye Shane Gillis and I thought it was hilarious and
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Nick Saban he should have laughed along to me. The
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: way he reacted told me everything I needed to know,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: told me that he was looking at it. It's like
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: that's guilt. You can't defend it anymore. Just say it, Yeah,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: we did it. I mean, he's so afraid that people
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: are going to think that he wasn't the greatest coach
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: because he ended up paying players and we all found
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: out about well we're not finding out about it. We
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: know it. Just come out and say it. There's gonna
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: be books. I think it'll hurt Nick Saban's legacy is
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: what he'll do. And that one minute definitely was a
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: chink in the chain when Shane Gillis was making fun
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: of him and he didn't laugh at all and got
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: mad at chance. Dude, it's just a joke.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean I'm not saying he has to
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: literally come out and say of course we used to
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: pay players and like just like some of the other
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: but like you said, when people joke about it or
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: something like that, like, bro, just laugh at all, Like
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: you don't have to be so defensive and uncomfortable about it.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: One person said, Michael, where will the Michigan players go?
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Who has money left? Oh, that's a fair question. I'm
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: sure there's people out there that could find money for him.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: So you just call a couple of boosters and boom,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: you got it. I just don't think the money's gonna
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: be the problem. Now. It's becoming the problem that U
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: of L. Have you seen? This is five years in
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: a row, the University of Louisville is in a deficit.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: They're reporting right now that U of L is in
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: a thirty million dollar deficit deficit for their athletic department. Yep,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: that's just the new norm, isn't it. And that's just
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: not U of L. That's gonna be every athletic department
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: out there. No, that's that's just how it is. Louisville
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: is just one of the ones to step up.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: And they basically were like, look, this is how college
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: sports are.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: We're gonna show you our numbers to show you how
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: this is.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: This is literally not physically possible to get to sustain
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: unless you're one of the like five schools in the
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: country like Ohio State or like Alabama or Michigan.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't think Alabama's there, but.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: I like one of those ones that like you know,
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: has like like LSU or something, has that money almost
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: all the time. It's gonna come to the point where
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: like only those schools can compete for anything, right because
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: they're the only ones that have money left. Even the
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: schools in the SEC are gonna have to hit this
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: at some point. Even the big ten schools are gonna
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: hit this at some point. It's just like it it's you.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Something needs to be done because this is not possible.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Like I I hate to see it, but I don't
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: hate on Josh Hurd for the decision he made.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: He basically is saying, look, no, I admire Josh coming
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: out and saying.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: He basically was like, look, we had two options. We
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: can either not pay anybody and suck for a long
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: time yeah and hope that regulations come in that make
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: us relevant later. Or we basically borrow money hope that
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: we win. You know, that's a risk, because the thing
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: is isn't it's a huge risk. It's it's a lose
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: lose situation either way. But at least you have the
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: opportunity to make the money back. You know what, I mean,
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: if you chose the other way, then you chose to
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: to save your money and and then pray to God
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: the government or something steps in or n c A
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: steps in and fixes this the chances of your fans
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: coming back, because who knows how long that's gonna take.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: That's the one thing about to me, there's a difference
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: between UK and U of L fan bases. I think
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: UK sticks around a lot longer, where U of L
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: that that fan base leaves quickly. And I think there's
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: a difference. And here's the difference. And this is not
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: a knock on U of L. I promise you it's not.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: The difference is you get UK fans from a lot
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: of small areas throughout Kentucky, and there's not much to
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: do in those areas, whereas that U of L, most
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: of the UFL fan base is right here in Louisville,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: and there's lots of other things to do in Louisville.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Then just to sit here and watch a team that
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: really is not very good. So guess what, I'm gonna
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: go do something else. I think that's where U of
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: L is. It's a little riskier there. I mean, whereas
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: the fan base is a little.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: I think you're also in a different situation where, if
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: you put it, let's say Kentucky and Louisville where both
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: in the exact same situation where they both chose to say.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: You know what, we are not paying players right now.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: We're gonna wait for the NCAA to step in and
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: regulate all this, and then we'll start, you know, building
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: the money forward. Like both schools at the same time,
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: did it. I will agree with you, Kentucky fans would
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: stick around a little bit longer, even though it'd still
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: be terrible. Yes, But I think the sole fact of
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: that is because of the ten year fallout that Louisville
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: has already gone through. Yeah, Like it's like, why would
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: I already waited ten years for my team be good again?
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: Why would I wait five more? I'm just gonna move on.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Kentucky never had to go through that. Fair you have
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: a little bit of a buffer zone. Yeah, you're right
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: about that. It just it just makes it tough. The uh,
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: the part that worries me the most. We talk about
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: these schools that will have the money. I've said it
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: before and I'll say it again. Within the sec I
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: worry about Vanderbilt because Vanderbilt, first of all, they're private,
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: so they don't have to disclose what kind of money
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: they have or don't have. Second of all, I think
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: they have a lot of sneaky money out there, and
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: the alumnists are really supporting this program. All of a sudden,
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: they saw the success that Vandbelt football had with Diego
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Pavia and Bradley.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Has it really going on now? You see some success
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: with the basketball program. I worry about Vanderbilt getting a
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: lot of money and from their alumnus and they've becoming
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: a successful team. You can laugh at me all you want,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: but I'll tell you that could happen. I worry about
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: that with Duke, and I worry about that with Notre Dame.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: So there's your schools right there that could be the
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: unbelievable teams of the future because they can get alumnus
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: to give money without just flip off a switch. Hey,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: So for the Ohalo guy that asked me a couple
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: of minutes ago, who has money left? I bet you
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: those schools still have money.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: See.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: The thing that frightens me and that I'm worried about,
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: is that this stuff drags on too long and it
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: comes to the point where now the NCAA can't do
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: anything about it, and it's just those you know, top
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: tier schools that have money left and they just own
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: college sports. It's basically like they're the ruling power because
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: they have all the money. And it comes down to
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: like the SEC and the Big Ten have a super conference,
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: and then all the other schools and all the other
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: conferences don't mean anything because they're out of money. They
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: can't afford to do this anymore. So then ninety percent
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: of college sports is wiped out. There's like a sixteen
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: team inca tournament, there's like a there's their own college
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: ball playoff all over again.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: That's only the Big Tennessee c And that's what we're
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: gonna go to.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: If this doesn't get regulated, that's what will happen because
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: there's just not enough schools that can afford to do
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: this with how much there's how much the interest is
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: accrued every single year.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Well, you know what schools have the largest endowment that
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: could really succeed if they wanted to the IVY League.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Think about the IVY League. All of those schools probably
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: have into the billions in endowments. So if they wanted
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: to really get into sports, they could go out and
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: pay as much as they wanted. Can you imagine, you know,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: back in the early nineteen hundreds, Harvard and Yale were
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: some of the best college football programs in the country,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: and yet they could get back into it and be
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: that team again. Can you imagine Harvard and Yale getting
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: out there and being the lights of Ohio State Michigan.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: That would be just hilarious to me. I wouldn't like it.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: I'll crazy one, I think.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: Oh no, the best college football teams on the planet, Yes,
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: would be Army and Navy.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, government funded, government funded.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: The only reason then they're not good is because they
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: have height and weight limits for their players.
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: And don't forget air Force. Air Force. Air Force would
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: be a really another read one. Yeah, well, all the
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: military schools. You have bm I and Virginia Virginia Military Academy,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: you have Air Force, Army, Navy, and you have Citadel
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: down in Charleston, South Carolina.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: Like imagine if it came out and trumb was like,
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: one billion dollars of our three trillion dollar military fund
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: is going to college football.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: They We're gonna play every game in the white.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: House front lawnch Army Navy is in the National Championship
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: every season.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that's hilarious. All right, Uh, we gotta
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: take another break. When we come back. I want to
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: talk about this idea that Dan Hurley came up with
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: when uh Yukon plays Duke. Stay right there more just
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: cats coming right up? Fable two three four fourteen fifty.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: You want to call fable two four one four fourteen fifty.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: You want to text in on the whisky t text line.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: One person, did I read this? I bet the Michigan
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: players have stipulations. I did not read that. I did
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: not read that. Oh, how guys said, I bet the
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Michigan players have stipulations in their NIL deals that they
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: can't transfer. I but that would mean that they would
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: have a contract.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: That would go against NCAA rules exactly because there's a
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: genuine rule in place and transfer or that if your
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: coach leaves, it opens the transfer portal for fifteen days.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So I don't think so as far as that,
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: Ohio guy, I think I think they'll be completely open
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: to leave if they want to, because that is one
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: of the rule changes that is everyone has made very clear.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: If your coach leaves, it opens up everything that.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: I mean there there might be stipulations in their contract
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: that say that, well.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: They're in our INIL deals, but who cares.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's say they're technically on for two seasons or
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: something like that. I could see that, But I think
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: as soon as your coach leaves, all that stuff is
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: no on.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: All bets are off exactly. Otherwise, they're going to have
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: a contract and guess what, they become an employee of
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: the University of Michigan or whatever university go to. And
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: these universities are really against having contracts and making these
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: athletes employees because that's going to cost a whole lot
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: more money. You're talking about a different situation from that standpoint.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: So I think all bets are off as far as
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: that goes. Josh texs it out is so is the
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: one that said we paid players. That's right. It was
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: dan Isel that did that. I don't remember what podcast
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: that was. Yeah, I don't remember, I remember somebody, but
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: I'm positive that was the one. It was dan Isel,
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: So thank you, Josh. I appreciate that. One person said.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Mashburn stated on TV that he got in IL when
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: he attended UK. I didn't know that. That's first time
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: I've heard that. But interesting. Okay, well, thank you for
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: letting me know, letting me know that. Yeah, I know
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: there was a lot of those what one hundred dollars handshakes.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: I know there were a lot of those supposed jobs
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: that players would have at horse farms, and sometimes they
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: show up, sometimes they wouldn't, but they still get paid.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: I get it. I mean, it's just one of those things.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: But I do want to talk about this. So what's
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: his name? John Rothstein said his name? Yeah. Released yesterday
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: the home and away games for UK. Within the s
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: you see, let me go through the home slate, let
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: me go through the SEC road slate for UK, and
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: then we'll I want you to tell me what you
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: think about it. Uh So, the three games that UK
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: is going to play home and away are Tennessee, Vanderbilt,
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: and Old Miss. Then on the home slate where they're
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: only playing these teams once, it's Arkansas, Alabama, Auburn, LSU,
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: Texas A and M South Carolina. Now on the away
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: slate for in the SEC schedule again it's Tennessee, Vanderbilt,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: Old Miss. So they're gonna see Uh. Uh Tennessee twice,
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: which I like, going back to Knoxville, and the UK
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: has swept them the past what's now two or three
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: seasons and got Vanderbilt in Nashville, Old Miss down in Oxford,
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: at Florida, Georgia, Mississippi State, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas. Uh.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: What game sticks out to you on the home slate Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Ole,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: miss Arkansas, Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Texta, and in South Carolina
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: that you kind of mark it downs, like, Okay, that's
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: the game I want to see. Is it the second
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: time for John cal Perry to come to Reperena. No? Really,
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: I feel like I have we not moved on from
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: this already. I don't know.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: I think he's gonna play at Reparerena thirty five times
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: and every single time we're like John cal Perry coming
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: to Reperena, like at some point we got it, Like
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: the breakup has to be a breakup.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: I get the I get what you're saying, and I
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: agree with you. But on the other hand, I feel
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: like UK has to beat them on their home court. Well,
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: last time Arkansas came to Lexington, Arkansas won. Of course,
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: they played last year UK goes to Arkansas, UK wins.
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: Don't you feel like that's the one game that UK
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: fans are gonna mark down because now they want to
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: beat cal on their own floor.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: I mean I hope not, but like the way UK
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: fans are, Yeah, it's the one they're on to mark down.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: All right, So it's probably so you're probably gonna see Alabama.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: Then now I'm gonna say Tennessee Tennessee really over nat
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: oates in Alabama. Yeah, I think Tennessee interesting. Why do
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: you see Tennessee?
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: Kentucky swept them, like you said, back to back seasons.
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be one where, look, Rick Barnes made three
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: consecutive Elite eights. The question is why can't you beat
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: this mediocre Kentucky team? Ever you've every single time you've
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: lost to them, it's a major blown lead. It's not
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: like you got beat you know, wired a wire. It
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: wasn't like it was a close game. You're up seventeen
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: points here, fourteen points, you're up twenty points well, and
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: then you keep blowing them away. So it's one where
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: if I'm Rick Barnes, I get them on a lifetime contract.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: But you need to go into up Perena and beat
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: this team, like you need to somehow understand you need
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: to beat this our older brother you have so you
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: can finally have some respect on the SEC, because I mean,
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: as good as they are, nobody is scared of that team,
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: like every single season, like they make the early Day,
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: but nobody in the SEC is terrified of that team.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: And that's where Bardnes is a problem. So, uh, from
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: the Kentucky fans standpoint, it's definitely not Tennessee. If I'm
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: a Tennessee fan thinking of like all the like, that's
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: my most important game of the season.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: Well, I see, I get it from a Tennessee standpoint.
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: You're exactly right. I think from the Tennessee standpoint, that
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: is a game they have marked down. It's Kentucky and
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: Lexington and Kentucky and Knoxville.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: For that fact, you have a guy on a lifetime
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: contract that literally you cannot beat Mark Pope.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: That's that'd be a problem. Yeah, all right, let's talk
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: about the road slate. Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Old miss Florida, Georgia,
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: Mississippi State, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas. I know which one I
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: have marked down, and it's Florida. I want to go
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: down there and beat Florida that because Florida fans are
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: really feeling like, oh, we dominate UK. Not really a
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: big game does anymore? Well, I think it's important that
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: they go down there and uh and show up in
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: Gainesville and come away with a win. What are you thinking?
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: Hmm?
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: If I had to really make a guess and this
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: is like the Kentucky fans standpoint, yes, you're right, it's
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: probably Florida because, like you said, Todd Golden I don't
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: think has lost to them yet.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: No, And you know he left Repperenda last year, remember
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: towards the end of the game and he made that
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: comic get the blank out of here, and he was
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: yelling at the yelling at the I suppose he was
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: yelling at the fans. But that's you're kind of getting
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: a little bit of cocky Todd Golden out there.
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: I don't think that set well with a lot of
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: UK fans, the UK basketball team, and the coaching staff.
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: If I'm looking outside in in the game that I
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: think is most important, I think it's the road game
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: against Vanderbilt.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: Really, that's you've picked two surprise ones for me. I
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: like this.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: I think that you kind of made the point earlier
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: and you've all seen it coming that. You know, Vanderbilt
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: has a lot of money. You're right, has been un
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: tapped for a long time until an Aisle started. Vanderbilt's
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: coming up in every single sport right now, and it's
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: kind of becoming like a passing of the torch of
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: who's gonna be, you know, the better team, maybe not
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: the best team in the SEC, but second or third, And.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: Vanderbilt is kind of passing Kentucky at this point. You
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: know that it seems like they're spending their money a
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: little bit better. I think that. I think that Mark
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: what's his last name? Oh crap, who the coaching? Yeah,
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: their head coach right now.
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: I think their head I think he's done a better
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: job than Mark Pope has in his short tenure there
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: so far. I think they're bringing better recruits at this moment.
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: Byington Buyington, Mark Byington. It's kind of, like I said,
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: kind of a passing of the torch. It's one where
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: if you're Mark Pope and you can go into Vanderbilt
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: and get a win. I know you beat them last
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: year on your home floor, but you got blasted by
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: them on their home floor that they look like a
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: bona fide possible Final four team going to the tournament.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: It's a team that's growing quickly.
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: If you can go in there and beat them on
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: their home floor and kind of cement yourself as like, hey,
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: I'm still Kentucky in the SEC, that's a big win.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: What do you think as far as their record in
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: the SEC? Do you do you think they'll have middle
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: of the pack record above or below? I mean, you
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: look at Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Old Miss, Arkansas, A right, Tennessee.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: You think it's gonna be a win for them? For
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: UK in Lexington? Yes, I think they trade one on
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: one this season. All right, Vanderbilt in Lexington, goll Your
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: hesitation is making me nervous.
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: I'm actually they don't be Vanderbilt really all right? Old Miss?
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: I think so too. Arkansas? So uh he comes back
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: to Lexington. Can UK Mark Pope beat John cal Perry
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: and the Razorbacks.
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna say, yes, they don't have Darious Aup anymore.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: All Right? Alabama? Can UK beat Nate oats Auburn? That
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: should be a easy l s U. I think should
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: be athlt you Texas A and m I don't know.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: Bucket ball is really nice, but I think he's up
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: and coming right now. I think he's doing a good job.
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna say Kentucky wins out.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: I think so too. Uh in South Carolina, it's gotta
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: be a win. So you got him one one loss
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: or two losses. I forget you had two losses. I
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: have one loss at home. That's pretty good right there.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll talk about the away when we come back. Plus,
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: I think Corey Price is coming, and do you know

  Speaker 1: Masters of the Air is what I was trying to
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: think of, and that's what Austin Butler was in. Did
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: y'all never see that? I don't think I've ever heard
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: heard of it? Oh my gosh, it was was that.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: I was sad. I've never heard of that either. Oh,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: it was fantastic. I loved it.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 3: It's not like it was a Masters in the theater
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 3: because I didn't see it.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: It wasn't in the theater. It was on Netflix or
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: something like that. He just it was a series, and
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: it was. It was fantastic. There's a.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 3: I think it's the History Channel is doing a world
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 3: twenty part series on World War Two currently, and Tom
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: Hanks is like the host.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: Then, yes, I've been watching that. I was watching it
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: last night. I was doing some work.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 3: You're not, no, No, I yeah, mail know, like a
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: whole detail about the war. So yeah, nice. I mean,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: is Tom Hanks over exposed? It seems like he he
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: does everything.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: He probably deserves to do everything. Is that really why?
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's a great actor.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: If Tom Hank's overexposed, then what's Morgan Freeman true?
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: And I love I listen, I'm not knocking on Tom Hanks,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: and I would never knock on Morgan Freeman. I love
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: Morgan Freeman. I think he between I don't know who
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: has the better voice. Unfortunately, James Earl Jones is not
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: with us anymore, but James Earl Jones just had that
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: kind of voice, just like Morgan Freeman. I don't know
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: whose voice I would prefer. James Earl Jones, Morgan Freeman
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: and Qurey Price. Just the Oh that wow. Top top

  Speaker 1: starting in ninety seven, so well, but I mean thirty
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: years since it's been Ralph Hacker. That's just amazing to me.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 3: So for the yearbook for Football, I'm doing a little
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 3: cute cute are you?
• 1:03:43

• 1:03:53
  Speaker 3: put in like you know, Ward, you.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: Won't sit down and talk to you live about this.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I guess I could, but it is
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 3: it's just easier, honestly it is.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I get it all right. Can you give
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: us a little tidbit of maybe one or two questions
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: that you asked him?
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: Yes, I think I asked a lot of the basics,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: like like, what's his favorite stadium?
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: Besides uh, you commonweal to call a game?
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if he has like a play player or game
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: it sticks out. It's first twenty nine seasons. He's called
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 3: every game since ninety seven as a missed. Once I
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 3: asked if he's if he's any close calls of games. Oh,
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 3: that's a good question. My mask is a travel or yeah,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 3: sickness or something.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, Because I remember back in the day when
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: Ralph Hacker was coloring. Of course the great Kwood Ledford
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: was played by play. They would talk about how UK
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: had a night game for basketball in Lexington and UK
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: had a day game in football in Knoxville. I remember that,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: and and they would have to they would describe how
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: they were going to get on a jet and fly
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: back up there and cover the game of both games.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: So they did football game, did the basketball game that night,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: and that's just like I always thought that was really cool.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: I would love to know how long before he became
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: the play by play guy did he have an idea
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: that he would become the play by play guy And
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: what was his reaction when he finally heard the news
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: that he was going to be the play by play
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: guy for UK.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 3: That question was similar, not quite that, but I asked, yeah,
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 3: at what age did he feel like he wanted to
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 3: do something in radio? And I asked if his parents
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 3: were encouraging of that goal at dream and then asked,
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 3: I know how his first game was August thirtieth ninety seven.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: I asked if he can give any memories of that
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 3: day and how felt and stuff.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, it was exciting to hear him. I mean,
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: there are two different guys that Kwood Ledford who is
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: always going to go down as to me the goat
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: for UK and play by play. Tom Leach is right
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: there behind him, and Kwood doesn't did not have the
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: kind of excitement that Tom Leach brings. I mean, you
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: knew it was fun to listen to him when he
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: first started, and it's still fun to listen to him
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: because you still hear that excitement come out of his voice.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: I mean every time I hear him say touchdown Kentucky.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: And I mean back then, you could go back and
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: listen to easily you can today, but his call during
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: uk U of L games and and hear him call
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: the football ones, I'd go back and listen to him
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: over and over just because I loved his excitement. It
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: got me excited all over. It would give me cold
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: chills like it does right now. It's just like I
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: love listening to Tom Leach. I think it just and
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: getting to know him and what a great guy he
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: really is, and how he on the radio is exactly
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: how he acts in person.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 3: And you know, back in ninety seven, it's not like
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 3: it's today where every game is live, you know, on
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 3: TV or streaming. So I mean there are many games
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 3: where if you wanted to know what was happening live,
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 3: you you had to listen to Tom. So I was twelve,
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 3: so that's kind of age where you know it kind
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 3: of means means a little more to you.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 3: So he made a pretty big impression on me, and
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 3: I mean now I get to work with him, So it's.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because the one thing you don't hear Tom
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: Leach say anymore. This is one thing that Kawood Letford
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: always said, if you're listening, we're going right to left.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: If you're listening on your radio this he still says that.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: Does he really okay? Because not many people listen on
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: their radio dials anymore. I mean you're you're predominantly listening
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: on your phone or your computer or something along those lines.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: But still him talking. It absolutely it is. I'd like
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: to know as well, was there ever another job he
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: possibly could have taken. Would he've gone to the NBA,
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: would have gone to the NFL, would have gone to
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: a major city and done something like this?
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 3: Prus asked that, uh, kind of along the lines you
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 3: mentioned just uh group briefly ago. Uh, he's been so
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 3: amazing at his job for thirty years. I asked him, like,
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 3: what what makes him?
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: What pushes him to keep doing it? Because I mean
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: he's I mean he could mean if you want to,
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: he could.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: He could retire today and he would leave, you know,
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 3: something awesome behind. So like what pushes him to keep
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 3: keep doing it, you know.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: And I would love to know.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: I know he wouldn't answer, but i'd love to know,
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 3: you know, who was your favorite coach? I didn't ask that. Yeah,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: I don't think he would answer. Yeah, probably not. Yeah,
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 3: I mean it's pretty I mean, now it's been now
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: with Stein and bat Uh, he's been through I think
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 3: six coaches and four athletic directors. Has it been four
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 3: and still just been one one voice? So wow, time
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 3: has been been through a lot. Yeah, he has, and
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 3: he's downs the exact same. So, I mean it's funny.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 3: I'll talk to him on the phone or in person.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 3: It's like, Okay, I'm listening to the UK broadcast right now,
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 3: and Tom's big with the horses too, right, oh very much?
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 3: So oh yeah, and that's where we'll see each other
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 3: at Keenlan and stuff and he'll ask me what you
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 3: got right in today? So but yeah, what a great guy.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 3: But I'll look forward to that. It should come out

• 1:09:26
  Speaker 3: at the home games. I'm not sure where we're gonna
• 1:09:28

• 1:10:50
  Speaker 2: because I'm getting confused.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: Him what the question? I am understanding the question is

  Speaker 1: that what he doesn't want to answer. Is there a
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: girl out there that you are friends with that you
• 1:11:02

• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: It's okay, it's fine.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: There's no way that woman it's just going to movies

  Speaker 1: it's just it was fun to see you reacted, and
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at him react. He didn't know how to

  Speaker 1: respec on to you. By the way, I love Corey.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: He's hilarious. We all do. He's such a funny dude. Yes, but.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: If you're listening right now and your way back to work,
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: you better go home. Call that woman yes and ask
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: her out. To ask her out again, and I bet
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: money she'll say yes.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, exactly. Oh yeah, there was a love connection.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: I think that's what. He didn't want to admit that
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: he likes her and he doesn't want to maybe let
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: her know. I get it. It's the first day. Yeah,
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: but you know he told us that he went to
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: the movie and I said, who'd you go with? And
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: he said, a girl just friends. I don't buy it. Listen.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: I told my dad when I was dating my wife
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: now almost said current wife. When I was that we
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: were just friends. He's like, yeah, sure you are. And
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: next thing you know, she became my real friend. Next
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: thing you know, she became my wife. So yeah, friends
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: become wives. I've been around enough women in my life.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: I've been around enough people of my life. Yes, know
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: how this works, Yes, exactly.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: And Corey isn't an advantageous position where you know you're
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: to the point where you're the weather a little more mature,
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: they know what they want. Yeah, you don't have to
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: play the games. You don't have to worry about if
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: there's other men she's looking for and all this. Corey,
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: call her when you get off work and say, hey,
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: why wait then texture right now is in the car?
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: Right now? Color? What does Robert and I you're saying trap,
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: Vick Thumder, you say, hey, will you get out of here?
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: You call it? You said, baby, we're going on to day.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, those allergies are clearing up all of
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: a sudden. Friends, you are just blasting him for that.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: I pretty he'll never come back again Tuesday at nine o'clock.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: But there was only one school that had a transfer
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: portal that was ranked in the top ten or better
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: with men's basketball, women's basketball, and football, and that team
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: was the University of Kentucky. No other school was able
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: to accomplish that. Men's basketball had the number two transfer
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: port in the country, women's basketball had the number six.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize women's basketball was that high. My gosh,
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: that's awesome. Kenny Brooks has just got it going on there.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: I want you to know, I want Kenny Brooks to
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: be the lifelong University of Kentucky women's basketball coach. We'll
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: have him on next month or so. And then, of
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: course football. We all know what will Stein's been doing.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: The tenth ranked transfer report of class in the country.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, just the complete turnaround of all of these
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: teams within the last well, football, within the last few months, basketball,
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: within the last month month and a half, people were
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: ready to get rid of Mark Pope and he turns
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: around and ends up having the number two class in
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: the country. It's just nothing short of amazing. And then
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: what Kenny Brooks has done at UK, that's the one
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: thing I'm really excited about. And plus I really like
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: Kenny Brooks. I think he has done a phenomenal job
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: coming to UK and getting this program to be wildly
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: successful and do as well as he does in the SEC,
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: which is one of the toughest conferences in women's basketball
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: in the country. And then will Stein with with the
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: departure of Mark Stoops and the way the program was
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: going for football, and then will Stein to come in
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: here and basically overnight get the tenth ranked transferport of
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: school in the country is again nothing short of amazing.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, you look at that. Are you surprised by
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: all that? I didn't realize it until yesterday when I
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: saw this that all three schools had the top ten.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: I hadn't kept up with women's basketb Yeah, so yeah
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: it is, that's okay, Yeah, it really is impressive. I'm happy.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: All right, what did you think about this idea? Did
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: you see where Dan Hurley where Yukon is playing duke
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: this year? This coming season, Dan Hurley attended the UFC
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: event at the White House. He now wants the Yukon
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: duke game to be played at the White House. Is
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: this a good idea or a hokey marketing ploy to
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: get more attention to Dan Hurley and Yukon.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: Look, as somebody who watched UFC two fifty at the
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: White House.
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: Lawn, it was successful.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 2: What did I want more major sports? Do you realize
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 2: it doesn't have to be the White House? But like
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: major American landmarks? Like I thought it was such a
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: cool thing. I'm this is one thing, Okay, this is
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 2: not a political take.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: This is just like, no, we don't talk politics on
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: the show.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 2: I don't like that they're this whole like patriotism is
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 2: like one side politically than the other, you know what
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: I mean. I think it's so cool when people like
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: embrace where they're from. Yes, even if it's gimmicky looking,
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 2: you know when they do. I love like the flyovers
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: at college football.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: It's so cool. I love like you know, I love symbolism.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: It's fun.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 2: So like the UFC two fifty was one where they
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: went above and beyond. It was completely American, Like the
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 2: World Cup is the same way. Everybody's wearing wave American flags.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: There's people with the soccer games dressed up as Abraham Lincoln.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: Like that stuff is fun. Yes, that that stuff is
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 2: so cool to me. Like they used to do college
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: basketball games, yeah, on aircraft carriers out in the middle
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: of the other.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: Side, right, played on one.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 2: We don't do that stuff anymore, right, And I feel
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: like it's because like the Internet and social media has
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 2: put this whole like patriotism is this side, and this
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: is this you know what I mean? Like I don't
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: like it being you know, enjoying where you live is
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 2: not a political take.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: I love this stuff. I think it doesn't have ducon
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: Duke whatever. I don't care about that.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 3: Just put stuff like show off America and where we
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 3: doesn't have to be the White House.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: It could be in Yellowstone, Nicka. Well, let's talk about
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: it all right. Let's name some places besides the White
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: House you would like to see a basketball game. Where
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: would be another iconic United States venue that you think
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: would be a lot of fun to watch a sporting event.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: Rutger Park in New York. Rooker Park Park is.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 2: I don't Rutger Park is a really popular public park
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 2: where like professional basketball players used to like do like
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: five on run.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: That's cool. It's a really historic park, all right.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 2: I think if we're still talking basketball, I think Venice
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 2: Beach is really cool. Yeah, that's another like you know,
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: public basketball area. Yeah, if we're talking, i'd love somewhere
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 2: like Midwest, like I think like a national landmark kind
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: of thing, you know, I don't know, Eric is huge
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: or so many places you go.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, throw somebody in Alaska, like move somebody around. Well,
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: they used to have that great Amask of Alaska and shootout.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: They used to have that, and that's kind of good.
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: I think it's gone by the wayside. But yeah, I
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: kind of like it was kind of a it was
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: kind of it was a hoax last week. But I
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: thought it was pretty cool to say that a basketball
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: game by UK and Kansas was going to play be
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: played at Churchill Downs. I think if you played that
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: in the paddock, you could easily put a basketball court
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: in the paddock, couldn't you, And in the surrounding stands
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: could be where the people sit and watch the basketball game. Yeah.
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: I thought that was kind of cool uf L did it.
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 2: I just I like that stuff because it's for the fans,
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 2: it's for the viewers, it's for the atmosphere. It's one
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: of the few things we have left that's not for
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 2: the business owners of the world. Right, it's not a
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 2: it's not a corporate meeting to go to the basketball game,
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Like, so I love that
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 2: the whole. That's why I love UFC two fifty. Like,
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 2: it's been so much fun to watch that stuff. I
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 2: wish we did more of it. I wish we brought
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 2: to college sports, not just basketball. I wish we did
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 2: with football, Like like hockey every year does the outdoor game,
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: and I love that.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 3: Those are wildly successful. They sell out every time.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: There's like it's like, oh my gosh, we're watching hockey
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 2: outside like this, this is awesome.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, they were so nervous last year they
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: did the one in Tampa where the Lightning played at
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: the Buccaneer Stadium. They were so worried that the ice
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: was gonna melt. They took months to make certain it
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: wasn't going to melt. Then it ended up being one
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: of the coldest nights in Tampa, Florida, where snow was falling.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: Of all things, I think here's what I would like
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: to see. I'd like to see a basketball game played
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: at Yankee Stadium. That'd be really cool and the dead
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: of winner and let's see how those guys in shorts
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: and tank tops are doing out there. I don't know,
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: I think that I don't care. I think that would
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: be awesome to see just the the cold air coming
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: out of a guy's mouth when he's trying to play
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: basketball in mid thirty degree temperatures. I think that would
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: be a lot of fun play play a game at
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: what what's an iconic NFL stadium playing in Green Bay?
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: That would be.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 3: Fun to go see a basketball game you would there.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 3: That's the only one I could fight you on. That
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 3: would just be imp It would be so windy nobody
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 3: could shoot. It be a blizzard of a disaster. You'd
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 3: have to do something like that in the South, all right,
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 3: so you could, well, what are some outdoor football state?
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 3: Well you got Miami hard Rock. You could do Raymond
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 3: James down there as well.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: Well, didn't who was it?
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 3: Was it? Wisconsin's volleyball team play an outdoor game like
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 3: last season or is it Nebraska and they exoled the
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 3: whole football stadium.
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I forgot about that. You're exactly for it. So
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: cool cool. I like that, just like I would like
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: to see UK play at Memorial, just one game play
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: at Memorial Coliseum. I promise it'll be so sold out people,
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: it'll be the buzz, It'll just be a lot of fun.
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: So anyway, all right, we gotta take our last break.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: I'll get to your text as soon as we get back.
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: Five two four one four fourteen fifty. Stay right there,
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: one more segment, just CAAT's coming right up. All right,
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: let's get through some of these text messages. Five two
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: four one four fourteen fifty. On the Whiskey thief text line,
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: one person's had lots of cow the Michigan reports. Would
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: he I don't know. Would he leave fayette Field to
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: move to ann Arbor, Michigan. We've had a lot in Fatteville.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: He is getting well by the Chicken people. So do
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: you think is there any chance he would go to Michigan? Hey,
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: that is a bigger school, I mean, and there's probably
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: a lot more opportunity for more money than just from
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: one chicken person. I don't know, and they will of
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: course the Walmart people too, But what do you think.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, it depends on how much they want to
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 2: pay him. They have to pay us buy out or
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: Arkansas is a big thing.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think Michigan's scared of that. They're not.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 2: But it's also I think calf like enjoys playing an
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 2: environment that likes when basketball is, you know, the main thing.
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: Michigan's just not that.
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 2: I mean there's Michigan fans like football the whole season,
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 2: and then once January is over then they kind of
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: transition over.
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: Hope.
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 2: The basketball team's pretty good. So I don't if it
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 2: was like a if cal just came out and said, look,
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 2: I'm coaching for two more years, I'm making sign one
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 2: more contract, then yeah, he could go to Michigan and
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 2: possibly try and win a championship before he leaves. But
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: if he is doing what he's doing now and he
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 2: genuinely wants to continue to coach basketball for an extended
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: period of time, I don't see him going to somewhere
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 2: like Mischigan.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: I think that's your best comment was why would he
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: go to a school that's mostly known for football. So
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: if he's not going to be the king be like
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: he is at Arkansas, then he's not go way too
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: much somewhere like that. Yeah, and that's that's not a knock,
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: that's a reality. So don't give me a hard time.
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: I'm knocking on cow. One person said, Ncuba rules allow
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: them to transfer. Nil deals are more binding than n
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: Cuba rules. Uh. In our world today, I still think
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: they get out of the nil deals. I think they
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 1: walk away from that. Uh. I know, I'm old. It's
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 1: k would and then everybody else. Yeah, buzz, you're right
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: about that. I mean no, and I think Tom Leach
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: would not take offense to that. But a man listening
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: and growing up with Kwood Ledford on the radio was
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of fun. But I will say probably the
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: best thing that ever happened to Tom Leach is that
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: Ralph Hacker was in between. If Tom Leach he had
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: followed Kwood Lefford, I think it would have been a
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: much tougher road. But I think he would have succeeded.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: I know he would have succeeded, but it would have
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: been tougher for him. I think it was an easier
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: transition from Ralph Hacker to Tom Leach. Tom Leach has
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 1: just done a phenomenal I love Tom Leach. I love
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: him as a person, and I love him as an announcer.
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: And I'm so happy he's our announcer because I think
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: Bar Nunn today there's nobody better than Tom Leach. John here, Hey, Michael,
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: I have a hypothetical question for you. In nineteen ninety eight,
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: Tubby Smith and the Kentucky Wildcats won the men's NCAA
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: Basketball Championships. Some say Tubby won that with Rick Patino's players.
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: They try not to give him credit. I will, I
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 1: will not go that far. I give him all the
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: credit in the basketball world. However, I do ask you today,
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: if coach Rick Patino would have been still coaching, would
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: he have coached them to a better record in along
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 1: with still winning the championship? Would he have coached them
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 1: better in your opinion? And Matthew chime in if you
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: would like to as well, what do you think I
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: still think that team would have won? I was not alive,
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: so I don't really have a take on this, okay,
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: And I think they would have had a better record
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: purely because that team was still used to coach Patino styles,
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: so they had to learn a new style of basketball
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: under Tubby Smith. So that's where I think the differences
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: and the only reason that Patino would have had a
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: better record. I hope that answers your question right there.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: John Ohio guy said you conversus Duke wouldn't work at
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: the White House lawn because of winter time weather unless
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 1: they scheduled it earlier. I mean, that's a non conference game,
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: so that game could be I don't I'm sure the
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: dates already up, but they could schedule that game October November.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: It might be chilly, but if you played on a
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: weekend during the day, it should be fine. Don't you
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 1: think you have to be like an early season like
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: exhibition or something. No, come on, it can't be an
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: exhibition game. It's got to be a real game.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 2: You literally couldn't run out there in forty degree weather
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 2: and just play basketball for two hours three hours.
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. One person said, basketball in front of Lincoln Memorial.
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: That'd be really cool. That'd be really cool right there. Uh,
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: do it put the way You couldn't probably put it
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: on the reflecting pond, but that would be cool to
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: have it right there. But in front of Lincoln memorial,
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: I would I would like that, or Thomas Jefferson's memorial,
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: or the Washington Memorial, any of those. I think, especially Lincoln.
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: I'm probably partial to Abraham Lincoln because he's from Kentucky,
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: so I would probably do that. I never understood why Illinois.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: All right, as I like to say Illinois, they call
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: themselves Land of Lincoln. Well, Lincoln's from Kentucky, so really
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: Land of Lincoln is from even though we grew up
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: in Illinois. But come on, he's from Kentucky. Right. We
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: got his house, yeah, we exactly. The funny part is
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: they don't even know if that's his real house or not. Uh.
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: What did you think about?
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 3: Uh? Uh?
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: The Iranian team how they handled themselves during the World Cup.
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: You know, they left their locker the same way that
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: they came in, clean, perfect, immaculate. They even wrote a
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: note to the city of Los Angeles. We came to
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles with pride, competed with honor, and leave with dignity.
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: Thank you Los Angeles for your hospitality. What did you
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: think of that? Was that political or was that really
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: from the heart?
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's probably a little bol Like the soccer
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 2: players don't have anything to do with the con nothing exactly. Like,
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 2: if they didn't do all that stuff, I wouldn't think
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 2: any less of them if they you know, it doesn't
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 2: share like I don't know like that they have nothing
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 2: like I said they did. Yeah, it's nice what they did,
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 2: But I feel like, because I saw this doo, I
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 2: think people are just like looking into way too deep.
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I got it to a point where I kind
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: of felt bad for them, because you're right, they had
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with what's going on between the United
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: States and Iran, but it's kind of stuck in the middle.
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: They had to stay in Tijuana and fly everywhere. Yeah,
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: so that's unfortunate for them.
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I also get that, you know, every country
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 2: has ignorant people. Yeah, and if some of those ignorant
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 2: people probably found out that the Iranian people were staying
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 2: in this particular hotel.
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 1: Then yeah, it might cause problems, you know what I mean.
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 2: It's all that's not me saying that that's wrong or
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 2: right or but I'm just saying there's ignorant people everywhere.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, NBA draft is tonight. Are you gonna watch it?
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'll keep up with it. Yeah, I'll have

• 1:33:50

• 1:33:59
  Speaker 1: talk more about tomorrow first round or two second round.
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's I wonder if he should
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: have stayed at UK. I don't think it would have
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 1: benefited him. You don't think so?
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 3: No, all right, well we'll talk about that tomorrow, amongst
