  Speaker 1: I don't want to be because you just made me
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: so happy a couple of minutes ago. Well, by reading
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: a text from someone else, I've got to pinpoint who
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: that guy was, because that's we don't know who it is.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Do we let me see if I can try to
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: figure it out. That did that made me very It
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: was our Wisconsin text. Oh it is okay, because that
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: guy comes up with random text every now and then
• 1:01

• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I didn't forget. I'm just I'm hesitating because I want
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: people to be able to catch up because sometimes I
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: tend to talk a little too loud. I mean a little, well,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: a little too loud, it's a given. But I mean
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: a little too slow fast, maybe a little too fast,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: one of the above. Okay, I'll get it right in
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: justice guy, I can't hear, but you can't hear. No,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I can't hear myself. That's the one thing I like here.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I'm good now, I adjusted it my puck. Yeah, I
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: just want to make sure I can do Yeah, don't
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: turn me up. So, but id rather be turned down
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: than up? But should I say? Oh? I shouldn't say
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. It's just a joke eight o'clock
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: in the morning. People don't want to hear that kind
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: of stuff. But anyway, what a weird start.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: To the show.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: By the way I'm starting, I'm driving in this morning.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I want I want to ask you a very pertinent question, okay,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: and I want your honest answer when you hear this.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I don't want to give you honest I don't want
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: you know justin Kaitlin that wants to you know, be
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: in Switzerland or anything like that. I want to know
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: your honest opinion as far as what you think of
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: these particular bumper stickers. As I'm driving in, I see
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: a car coming in and has a sticker on the
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: back please be careful, new driver, and in the car
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: in front of him has a bumper sticker that says
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: baby on board, please be safe. How does that make
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: you feel when you see those bumper stickers. Does it
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: make you, oh, I need to be careful around these
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: cars or does it make you want to do the
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: absolute opposite or do you just like, oh, whatever, dude,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I'm just driving on.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: So I that doesn't change my driving habits.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: It doesn't.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: But I like to think that I'm pretty safe considerate
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: driver ninety nine percent of the time, so that yeah,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, it doesn't do anything to affect me. Now,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: the issue I have with the student driver ones. Yes,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: ninety nine percent of the time. When you go by them,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: it's this eighty year old man and it's like, okay,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: you're you're the new driver, right, okay, like right, there's
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: rarely ever a student actually driving those cars. Yes, but
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: the baby ones, yeah, I mean I don't. That doesn't
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: really affect me because, like I said, I'm typically a
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: pretty safe drive.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: On my way here this morning, right, I was in
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: the left lane going down sixty four. I almost called Jamie.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: If I would have had Jamie's no number in my phone,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: one thousand percent would have called him. So I'm in
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: the left lane and there is a car that I'm
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: passing who's in the right lane. But there's I'm not
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: caught up to that car yet, Like I haven't gotten
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: to the point where I'm at his back bumper. All
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: of a sudden, out of absolutely nowhere, have no clue
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: where this car even came from. A challenger goes between
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: my front bumper and the back bumper of the car
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: that was in the right driving like a complete buffoon
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: for the next two or three minutes until he got
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: out of my sight. Yes, like what an absolute more
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: that dude was gonna kill somebody.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, driving like that happened to me Monday on the
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: way the airport that uh uh, let me think like
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: fur to five taking my son to the airport. Somebody
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: was driving down the waters and I swore they were
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: going to have a wreck because they did the exact
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: same thing to just cut somebody off, almost hit the
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: bumper as somebody else got in the right lane, and
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know how they didn't clip each other.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know how he didn't hit one of us.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: That has happened to me. I have seen a wreck
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: right literally right behind me just north of Atlanta, Georgia,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: on I seventy five, where a car was cutting in
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: and out through the traffic and it clipped a car
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: behind me, and I literally saw it turn and flip,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, Patricia, don't panic, there isn't a really
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: bad accident happening behind us. I'm gonna need to pull
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: over because I gotta settle down. It made it shook
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: me up watching that accident literally happen right behind me.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I've never had that happen before. I've seen accidents. I've
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: seen two really bad accidents. One was that when another
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: one was a motorcycle running up under a semi trip.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Oh no, that was that.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: That might have been the worst where I've had to
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: literally pull over. And it happened right there on I
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: seventy five over in Lexington, right at Newtown Pike, and
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I had to pull over, and I had to give
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: myself a few minutes. It's like I just like, well,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: let me drive, let me drive. I'm like, no, just
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: give me a couple of minutes. And then we got
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: back in the car and drove on. I just still
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: to this day, I got cold chills thinking about it
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's free.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: It's like first thing I think of is I hope
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: everybody's all right. But yeah, the people that are driving
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: here and just cutting in and out of the track, I.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Just I don't get it. Like if you're late, I
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: don't know, maybe leave earlier, Like, don't don't put other
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: other people's lives in peril because you're driving like mora right.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: And it's probably got a sticker on the back of
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: it says a baby on board to police drive safe.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: You know that's who it probably is. I mean, I
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: don't get those stickers. I don't get why people think
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: they're gonna drive safer just because they had that sticker
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: on board. Because you know, you see the new drivers. Man,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: they got both hands on the wheel. They're sitting up straight.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: You can tell they're uncomfortable, and that kind of feel
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: bad for them because you know their parents are probably
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: right next to them just criticizing them.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's honestly, you just described the way I drive?
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Is it really ninety percent of the time? Michael, I'm
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: ten and two. Are you really swear not?
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Me?
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: And I am like I'm comfortable when I drive. But
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: if you were to see me and look in my
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: car as I'm driving, I probably look very similar, Like
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I probably don't look comfortable. I sit really close to
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: the steering wheel. All my buddies make fun of me
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: for it, but yeah, I'm.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Very much you sit very much most to the steering wheel.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because I drive a stick so I gotta be
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: able to push down the clutch and my legs aren't
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: that long, so unfortunately I have to sit best to
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: the steering wheel.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Maybe you should buy an automatic next time. Really, i'd
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: fall asleep. I mean, what cars are out there that
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: you can buy a manual transmission?
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I know, but I'll find one, will you really?
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: You you drive a nice car. I like the Hyundai,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: but I didn't know you could buy an Hyundai that
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: is a manual transmission.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Well I just so. I got that car from Carmack,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: so they make it really easy to search or automatic
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: or manual transmission. So yeah, literally, that was the first
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: thing I did when I got that cars. I searched
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: manual transition for transmission. Which cars could I get? That's
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: the one I settled on.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because I would like to have one. I've always
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: let me think, I've never owned a manual, but I
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: know how to drive it. I've always enjoyed driving a manual.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I always wanted a Jeep Wrangler with a manual sure transmission,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: and I thought, the other car, my dream car is
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: a Portion nine to eleven with a manual transmission turbo. Yeah,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: oh yeah absolutely, And that's the way. I don't know
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: where I would drive a manual turbo Porsche, but you know,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: you could take it down to that bolting green track that.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: You definitely have to go out west, to that road
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: that has no speed limit. I would love nothing more.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: See there's a Porsche dealership right there at the Atlanta
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: airport right off five seventy five, and I'm always looking
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: at that and I'm like, this is just awesome. I
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: physically could not drive an automatic. I would just it's
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: so boring. Really, okay, I need something to do while
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: I'm driving. Yeah, I bought my wife a car that
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: was way too fast, and every time it turned around,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: she's going through wheels, which is another The wheels were
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: two thousand dollars. It's like, come on, man.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: And tell her to stop doing burnout exactly.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Boy, you talk about a lead foot. I mean, she
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: drives so much fast and I drive kind of fast.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: She drives so much faster than me, and of course
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: that is like, Patricia, we can't keep this car. And
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: she's like, well, I'm tired of buying new wheels, so
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: you're buying Michael Bennett's tired of buying new wheels. So
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: we got Thank goodness, we got rid of that car
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: and I got her suv. She's gone from one extreme
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: to another, a two a door convertible to a gigantic suv.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: She had a convertible. Yeah it was. It was a
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: nice car, but it was a pain in the butt.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I didn't I it was a a BMW six fifty
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: convertible turbo and man, that thing flew. The only mistake
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: is that it was automatic, but it flew.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't have a car like that.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Now she has this Toyota Sequoia and that engine sounds
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: so good when you get it repped up. I love it.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: So anyway, all right, Well, I'm glad to hear you,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: because with the stickers it drives me nuts. I drive
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: fast around them.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: That's what you're not supposed to do.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: But those stickers irritate me. They just get on my nerves.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: I don't like the ones that are like the family,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: ones that have like the mom and the dad, and
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: like the dolls. Is that the worst one? Those are
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: the ones that drive me the most insane. I did
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: see one yesterday that made me laugh. It said, uh,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: I was an honor student. I don't know what happened.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I thought that one was pretty good. Yeah, all right,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: so you talk about those, you know, you got the
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: stickers with the people that love Star Wars and all
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: the people the families dressed up in Star Wars outfits.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Then for a time period you had people that would
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: put like eighteen point whatever or twenty six point two,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: knowing you would know.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: That congratula exactly.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: I love the one that the sticker that came out
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: zero point zero. Underneath it said I don't run. That
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: to me was the biggest slam. I listen, I wanted
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: to get out of the car and give that guy
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: a high five. When I saw that, I thought those
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: were fantastic. Those are And it's not the US one
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: zero point zero in Key West, Okay, it was. It
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: said underneath it, I don't run. That made me so
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: you ever been a bumper sticker guy?
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: No?
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Neither, No, because my dad always said, don't put bumper
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: stickers on your car. It devalues your car because it
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: takes the paint off when you try to take it off.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Is that true? It takes the I don't know. I've
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: never been a bumper sticker guy, but I assume it
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: probably is. Now those cars that have their whole back
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: bumper just full of ridiculous stickers, I will never understand that.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Well, have you seen the car that has stickers all over?
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: There are a couple of cars in Louisville that literally
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: have stickers all over their car. And and to me,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: I think, how are you going to resell that car.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: There's one that rides around my house and it's this
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: guy with this crazy voice. But he's got it.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: I never smoked the day in his He's got.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Like Jesus all over this car, Jesus, Bible versus. And
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: he'll literally just stand out in front of stores and
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: just be like, Jesus is your Savior, and screen like
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: you can hear him from blocks and blocks away. Real
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: dude is so loud. Yeah, But every time I see
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: that car, I'm like, well, there he is. I wonder
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: what he's up to today. So when he cuts you off,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: are you yelling Jesus?
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: No? So I don't.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: That's the funny thing is I don't really ever see
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: him driving it.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Oh you don't. We'll just see the car in different locations.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Is that what happens? Ever seen him driving this case?
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: He's got some manna and some wine there with him.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure what's going on. Uh huh.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: His voice scares Really you don't like that kind of voice.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: That's a perfect voice to be out there telling it's creepy,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: sounds more like satan. But I mean, I'm sure he's
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: doing what he thinks he believes is right. No, No,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: I'm not hate for him. I'm not hating. No, but
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: my kind of voice that the voice gave me. It
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: sounds like you're possessed, and I'm like, he does, poor guy. Yeah,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I just I don't. I'm gonna go
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: ahead and assume he's dabbled in drugs. Oh, you think
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: it's drugs not cigarettes? I thought, isn't it that the
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: reason John Mellencamp sings the way he does is because
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: of cigarettes.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: I believe that.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And if he hadn't smoked cigarettes so much, he
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: wouldn't had the voice he has. I believe that. Yeah.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Of course. You know, he's on tour right now and
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: he's playing every two and a half hours, is what
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: he said. He's doing two and a half hours, two
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: and a half hours, Yes, and he's singing nothing but
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: the hits. He says. That's how many hits I have.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: I think it's awesome as long as he's not the
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: old grouch that wants to, you know, tell you about
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: a thirty minute political speech or any kind of speech.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: I want to hear you sing.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: I just I don't have an interest in seeing John Mellencamp.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: You don't really at this age No five years ago. Yeah, sure,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: I'm in.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: He was awesome. Yeah, he was one of my favorites
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: back in the day. Yeah today, I don't know, but
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: he sounds I've heard him singing a couple of songs
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: and he sounds reasonably good. He's okay. Yeah, oh come on,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I mean he's not. He's not his normal self, but
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: he does. The Rolling Stones have announced they're having a
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: new album come out. Why do you shake? Their last
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: one was fantastic?
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: How old are those guys?
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: They're in their eighties right? Why people want to hear it?
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: All?
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Right? Well, I don't get you, I really don't. If
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: they sound good, they're putting out a good product, why
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: do you not want to listen? Their last album was
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: literally fantastic.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Look, every job has its limitations and how long you
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: can do it right. Eventually you just got to let
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: it go and retire.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: They don't want to retire. They're enjoying what they do
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: and they're putting out good music. Why do you want
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: them retire? If people are literally still enjoying.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: There, if people are still clamoring for it, then I
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: can't hate on the exactly.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: And I'm right there, I'm like put out another one
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to. We're gonna play some of their
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: music because of that. Now, okay, the rest of the week,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: I'm sending you a song that's nothing but Rolling Stones
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: and their new stuff. All four of them, all four
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: of them. Okay, whatever, Right now, you just be in
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: a jerk. I do want to talk about this. I
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: don't know if you saw it yesterday or not. Mark
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Pope put out a tweet yesterday talking about how much
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: he's missed Big Blue Nation because he hasn't you know,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: his last news conference, media conference with Tom Leech and
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: the last Mark Pope show he did, he didn't take
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: any questions, and now he gets on Twitter and says,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I am ready, I've missed you, Big Blue Nation. I'm
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: ready to take your questions, and is asking people to
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: tweet him back for questions. Whatever questions you have, he
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: will answer.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Do you like that he is doing this? Does it
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: sound a little on the cheesy side? How do you
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: respond to something like this?
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: I do like that he's doing this. However, with some
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: of the answers that he's given in the past, I
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: would kind of I would wonder about the legitimacy of
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: some of the answers.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Really, yeah, I mean he's getting a lot of questions.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: How is he going to answer every one of them?
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Is he just going to pick and choose which ones
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: he wants to answer?
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, if he said he was gonna answer them all,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: he's gonna He's got it.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I want you to pull it up
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: when we come back from break. I want you to
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: play it and see what he says and see if
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: you think he's being sincere about this or you think
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: he's not. But I found it rather interesting. This is
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: an interesting way to go about asking the fan base that, really,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: how much do you think of the fan base is
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: happy with him? How much do you think the fan
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: base is indifferent? And how much do you think the
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: fan base is really upset with him? Break it down
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: in three different because I really tend to believe that.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: I hate to say this. I think fifty percent of
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: the fan base is not happy with Mark Pope. I
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: think that I'd say fifty you would, I would say
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: that thirty five percent of them are happy with him,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: and then the rest are indifferent.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: I would say twenty percents happy.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Oh you're even lower. Yeah, Wow, Okay, that's even worse.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: All right, then, well, I'd like to pose the question
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: to our listeners right now, are you happy, are you upset?
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Or are you indifferent? Right now? Because I'm trying to
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: be indifferent. I'm not happy, I'm not upset. I'm just
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: kind of in the middle right now because i want
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: to see how the rest of the team plays out.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: And then I gotta see and I'm not gonna I'll
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: have some comments about it, but I want to see
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: how they play before I really come out and say, Okay,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: this just isn't working. But does Mark Pope to be
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: You know, I mentioned that I posed this question a
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: couple of days ago. Does Mark Pope deserve to be
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: on the hot seat right now? And I say, yeah,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: he definitely does. And that's not a negative, that's not
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: a positive. That's just where we are. That is the
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: reality of Mark Pope's situation as head coach at the
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: University of Kentucky. Let's go ahead and take our first break.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Five O two three four fourteen fifty. You want to
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: call in five oh two four to one four fourteen fifty.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: If you want to text in on a whiskey t
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: text line, or you can just the cat radio. Uh,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: there's all kinds of things I wanted to talk about today,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: including man, this video of Jared Vanderbilt last night playing
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: for the Lakers against the Thunder Ugly, Ugly, Ugly. I
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: don't know if you saw it or not. You've got
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: to go look at it. It sounds like I want to say, no,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: it isn't. And uh, is Malacamarino going to stay in
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: the draft? I mean, that's now a really legitimate question.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: So we'll talk about that too. Stay right there. This
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: is just the Cats. We got more to.
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: Count, Big Blue Nation. It has been a I'm busy
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: six weeks and I've missed you. It's time to talk
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: some hoops. So drop a question below and I'll hit
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: you back. Go Cats, Big Blue Nas.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: What do you think?
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: I mean? It's just him saying, drop your questions below, Yeah, exactly,
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, I've missed you.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to think of this. I honestly don't.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Part of me says I admire him for doing this.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Part of me thinks, okay, is this a good idea?
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Part of me thinks, okay, that's really nice him to
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: do this.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: But to look how many questions were asking.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Oh my yeah, it's twenty three hundred questions that should
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: tell you, right, I don't like your team because he
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: ain't gonna have any time exactly.
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: I mean.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: One person says, what qualifies you after two seasons to
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: be the head coach of Kentucky next year? Do you
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: still understand the assignment? One person said, what happened before
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: the Louisville game? I think that's a fair question right there.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: For sure, people want to know are we winning number
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: nine next year? Only question that matters to me? I
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: state of Louisville question. You gotta tell me, no, I
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: do not.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Would you theoretically be interested in a lifetime extension.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Only if Kenny Payne comes back?
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: The fan base is clearly worried. What would you say
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: to them to ease their fears? I think that's a
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: great question. Here's a great one for me. Can you
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: please wear a body cam during recruitment visits? Oh my gosh, no,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: you cannot do that. That's what I'd be interested.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Would it? Really?
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Because I need to know, like, what's going wrong? Why?
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Why can't you.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Lock down any of these guys? Something is happening in
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: those meetings and I would just be I'm curious to
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: what that is.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you're right, I mean, what is it? What
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: is turning some of these recruits off? Why are they
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: saying no? I mean there are a number of questions
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I would I mean, one person says, what are your
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: thoughts on this? And gives a question, says ranking Louisville
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: number one six commits, Tennessee number two seven commits, what's
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: your specific plan to get Kentucky back to consistently competing
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: for final fours in national titles? I think that's a
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: great question. Here's a good one. Have you ever had
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: any players or recruits mentioned how toxic BBN is?
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: I think that's a fair question. I'd be curious to
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: know the answer.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: But I don't think it's just UK. I mean a
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: lot of people pick on UK. But you know what,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: LSU fans are nutty, Tennessee fans are nutty. Duke fans
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: are nutty. One Florida fan says, how does it feel
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: to be owned by Todd Golden? Come on now, anyway?
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: I just I looked at this and I thought, holy
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: col this can't be good. When I see probably just
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: as many fans out there trolling this video. Then I
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: do see actual fans asking really good questions. So I
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: don't know what to think of it. So five O
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: two three four fourteen fifty. We got a phone call.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: Who's up? I can't hear you. Oh sorry, we got John, John?
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: What's up? John?
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: Hey, Michael and justin. Good morning guys, Good morning. I'm Michael.
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: I didn't get the results I wanted in my election.
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: I got seven out of nineteenth. Man, I need it.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm feel gry to hear that.
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I needed fifty votes to tie in fifty one
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: to get that fifth place. Didn't happen. But I'll still
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: be appointed by the party to be a state delegate. Hey,
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: I got the word last night, so that should happen.
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: So I guess it's a win win. I guess they need.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Delegate a Michael Bennett day in Evansville, Indiana, and I'll
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: come do a remote over there.
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: Hey, you come to a remote here. I'll make sure
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: you have a breakfast, lunch, in dinner.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Oh my, Now, you know that'd worried if you said dessert.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: I'm not coming, okay, So but go ahead, Johnny.
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: It's not in the budget. Michael. I can't do a
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: dessert's budget. I think that might be the least thing
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: getting sometimes, or I don't think getting's the right word
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: to say. It is probably not proper English, the least
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: thing bought at a restaurant sometimes, Michael, is a dessert that.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: I agree with that I don't know?
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Is it all right? I think that's a great question.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Is it dessert or appetizers?
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Dessert?
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: You think it's dessert. I'm almost to the point people
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: don't order appetizers. I don't say the dessert, like all right.
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: One of my favorite places to go is this place,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: this restaurant which is the worst name in the world,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: over by a Oxmore Mall by Dick's Sporting Goods. It's
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: called BJ's. Okay. They have a deal on the weekend.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: You get all three, you get a soup, you get
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: a prime rib here I'm doing an advertisement for it,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: and then you get their zuki. Have you ever had
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: those cookies that are fixed in the iron with ice
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: cream on top? Oh my gosh, yeah, sorry, yeah, I
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: love those things. I'm sorry, John, I'm taking away your time.
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: No, you're fine, go ahead. I want to hear how
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: much do you have to pay for that thirty.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Three thirty three dollars. It's a great deal. But see,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: I have to share the zukie with my wife, which
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: doesn't work out. I was like, but but it's far
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: too big. But yeah, it's a good deal. You should
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: go to be Jason.
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: We have one here locally, and I'd used to do
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: a couple of food reviews on those cookies when they
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: came out a while back, about two years ago or so.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: And criteria was they were good. Okay, they were good,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: they were good. Okay, glad to.
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah, all right, So here's the questions I wanted to
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: call in and talk about this morning. Was okay about
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: that whole cube. So I'm gonna call it this locker
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: cube from Fox, and indeed that might have a different
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: name on it. But now you wouldn't sit in there
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: for fifty thousand. No, But here's my question, yep, would
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: you sit in a cube going on what's going on
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: right now with Kentucky Athletics? How much would you set
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: in a cube for three hundred and sixty five days
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: starting from when the basketball season ended out ended with
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: all this all this going on, and all you had
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: to do is just listen to all this Stokes and
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: Mark Pope updates and all these and how many days
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: would you keep doing this? And how much would you
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: want each day you're sitting in that cube?
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, wow, I would want to have out
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: after three days Josh. See, hey, I'm right, probably three
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: hours for me. So I just I can't stand listen
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: all this stuff in the and the excuses and no,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: I I'm afraid John, I wouldn't last very long. First
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: of all, I'm claustrophobic of all. It's just not going
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: to work. I mean, I don't think I could do it.
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: Let's see, I mean a thousand dollars a day, be
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: three hundred and sixty five thousand dollars, right, yes, yeah,
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: but I would do it for five hundred a day.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Would you really? Wow?
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Okay, it's a lot of money.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: It depends on what I'm fed. If I'm fed, well,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: then I get to watch, you know, whatever I want
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: to watch on TV as well. But you know, it
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: might be worth five hundred dollars a day not to
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: be around my family. So every now and then that's
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: kind of a good thing. And that's terrible. I'm just kidding.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: I love my family.
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: But go ahead, Hey, hey, who's this this? We got
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: a couple of young guys. They keep reaching out into
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: the portal or into the overseas market. There's a guy
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: that's like seven foot four. At this point, I think
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: they're reaching into biblical text and looking at David versus
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: Goliath and looking at goliath family and seeing just how
• 27:59
  Speaker 6: big of a person they can get. But but you
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: know what, hey, justin real quick, I get sidetracked it
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: for a second, sorry, because I've brought up Biblical That
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: guy with that car that's you know, he might sound
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: a little, you know, with the voice and everything, kind
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: of like a Steve O voice if you know who.
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: Steve O is from Jackass And that's the name of
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: the show, so it's not a curse word, it's his
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: name of the show. But anyways, that guy may have
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: a weird voice. But you know what, justin, at least
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: he's trying to spread the word of Christ, right.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, I'm not hating on his way he's
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: trying to do at all. It's just more of the
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: scary voice for me. Yeah exactly, all right, John, what
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: else you got before we let you go?
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, no, I think we'll go get some people guys,
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: and we'll come We'll be all right. I don't know.
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: I haven't even watched this. It's so called if it's
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: upcoming or a video of Pope. I didn't even care
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: to watch it, not necessarily against Pope. But is his
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: seat hot? The whole Kentucky basketball program is hot right
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: now in the long direction because of recent results and
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: past results within the last five years. So guess what
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: we'll bounce back will be okay, He's gonna go get
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: some players, Marino return, probably get that other guy, and
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: then maybe an overseas guy. So we'll be okay. They'll
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: be guys. They'll be guys on the team.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: So yes, it's just hopefully there they're men, not just guys.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: But I appreciate the phone call.
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: John Harry here from you bye.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: So yeah, uh well, you know he mentioned John just
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: mentioned about it. Seems like Mark Pope is making a
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: consorted effort overseas right now. Did you see or Will
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Wade at LSU. He's got one player right now, and
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: he made the comment.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: That Modeo Bote it's all he's got.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Exactly, and the rest of the team will be set
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: up with nothing but overseas players. What do you think
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: about that on the Illinois route, Well, I mean it
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: does feel that way, and I thought, man, that's that's risky.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: It is. I mean, but isn't recruiting even if it's
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: out of the portal and it's American guys, it's risky
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Like college basketball is risky business.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: I think college sports is risky business. Forget about being
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: just one particular sport. To me, it's it's it's easier
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: to recruit for basketball than it is for football. Yeah,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta fill less spots exactly.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: And it is interesting that he's going after the dig
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Is this a direct result of what Pat Kelsey's done.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you look at that Louisville team, they
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: are stacked with huge dudes.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: But that doesn't necessarily equate to a successful season.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: No, and it may not. I'm not saying it.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you might have so many egos out there, and
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Pat Kelsey simply does not know to how to mesh
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: all the personalities that are on that one particular team.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: And as we saw last year, Mark Pope couldn't do it.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: You had so many great talent or pretty good talent
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: that we paid way too much for and it just
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: didn't work out. I do worry about that. I was
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: the one thing. You know, the textter said how much
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: I dislike John cal Perry. Well, it's not necessarily that
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: I dislike John Caliperry. I just got sick and tired
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: of the rhetoric. I got sick and tired of the
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: fact that, Oh, we're gonna be great, settle down, BBN,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: We're we're gonna be and then nothing came of it.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, five years in a row and we had
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: nothing to brag about, losing in the first round, second round.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: It's just like, what are we doing here? I mean,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: you got this lifetime contract. Your motivation is now gone.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: That's what I didn't like. I didn't like the situation
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: where John Caliperry was putting my favorite basketball team. That's
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: what I didn't like. It's not John Caliperry the person.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: So you know all the textters out there that really
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: give me a hard time, you hate John Calberry. No,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: it's not that.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Everything you just said can be echoed to Mark Pope
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Absolutely one thousand percent, because I'm not happy right now.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: I'm not happy where the University of Kentucky basketball team
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: sits right now. What you're worring level from one to ten?
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: I would say it's seven close to eight. What if
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: you're saying ten being the worst?
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: Correct?
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Okay, what if Malakas stays in the draft? Uh, it's
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: going to be a nine, probably ten, because at that
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: point you've got no big bodies. Yeah, if if you
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: haven't seen it or not, there are reports coming out
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: that Malachi Moreno is right on the cusp of being
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: drafted in the first round and at this point, what
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: should he do? Should he? Because you know, we've all
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: you and I've talked about this several times where this
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: is a loaded draft this year and for Malachi to
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: be working out and evidently showing some real talent that
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: we all know he has. Now, I still believe it's
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: somewhat raw talent. I think he has improved drastically. Uh,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: and we own we all know the potential he has.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Now they're saying he's going thirty first, going to the Knicks.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: If you're Malachi Moreno, justin are you staying in and
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: going to the Knicks or are you going to stay
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: at univers Kentucky hopefully make a little more money but
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: on a team that doesn't look to be really good.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: So if I'm Malachi, I'm probably gonna revisit what ty
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: Simpson did the quarterback of Alabama when he went to
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: Nick Saban and basically asked him do I do I
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: go to the NFL Draft or do I stay in
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: college and become one of the highest play paid players
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: next season? And Nick Saban just looked at him and said, well,
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: what do you Take the money out of the equation?
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Where do you want to be next?
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Exactly? And I think that's the perfect question.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: Which Ty Simpson said, I want to be playing professional
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: football ends up going to the draft getting drafted thirteenth overall.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: So I would pose that same question to Malachi. Take
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: the money out of it? Where do you want to
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: be next?
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Money should never be the root of your final decision,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: but unfortunately, more times than not nowadays it is because
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: you know there's gonna be a day in time when
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: it's like, why did I do this? I want to
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: do something that I have a passion for. It's not
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: about the money. I think money should be not taken
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: completely out of the equation, but it should be a
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: minor part of the equation. That should be for every
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: job you're interviewing for. And I think that's one of
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: some of the best advice I've ever heard in my
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: life from Nick Saban because I agree with that take
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: always take the money out. If money had nothing to
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: do with it? Would you do radio? If money had
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with it? Would do you want to
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: be a play by play guy?
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: I mean obviously with the radio scenario, yeah, because money
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: fairly is a factor as it is now exactly.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: But you know, but what's going to keep you happy
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: is your passion. It's not the money because you might
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: be paid. Listen, I had a very well paid job
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: from years. I got to a point where it wasn't
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: making me happy anymore. It didn't matter. I wanted to
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: be happy, So I walked away from it and I
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: found something that I fell in love with which I
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: make no money yet.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, I say it all the time. I will
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: never have a ton of money, but my happiness bank
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: is more full than a lot of it.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: And you know what, that's what matters. Mostly. My dad
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: said that. Now, my dad was very successful, so it's
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: kind of I love. People are gonna say, well was
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: easy for him, No, it's not the case. He had
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: a lot of heartache, and he had a lot of
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: points of his life where he's like, what am I
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: doing here? But you know, when my mom got sick,
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: he said, I'm done. I don't need to make any
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: more money, and we'll take care of my wife. That
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: was his happy time to take care of my mom.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: And he did not regret a thing in his life.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: And I love that about my dad. I looked up.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: I still look up to my dad. I mean, we're
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: getting ready to celebrate Mother's Day Sunday, and I celebrate
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: my mom.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: That's Sunday.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh boy, are you ready for it? I hope
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: you got a little money.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Go by wonder why I got invited to dinner on
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: Sunday last night.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: You gotta be kidding me. You had no idea Mother's
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Day is Sunday. No, no clue. You're welcome. Go get
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: your mom something nice. It doesn't matter if it's a
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: present or just a card. Say something nice. Her present
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: is gonna be my presence. Tell her that right now,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: fire card A card makes than a card. I think
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: that's even better. Actually did make her a card last year?
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: It Yeah, and just make a nice sentence in there
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: in your handwritten. Uh make it, you know, not scribble,
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: but make it somewhat writable. Great writing, Michael, do you really?
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: When I pull out my best penmanship.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: Really it's great. Mine is not. I wish I could write.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: My mom had beautiful handwriting, but I don't. It's terrible. Yeah,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: I wish I did. But anyway, all right, we're gonna
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: take another break. Five O two three four fourteen fifty
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: You want to call a five O two four one
• 36:56

  Speaker 4: To jesstcast.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: We got the Chambers dec. I love how this song starts.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: It's it's one of my fings. You know, this song
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: is twenty something years old, and I still think it's reveling.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: They were one hit. Wonder I think, weren't theyknew radicals.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know another song? Then, oh you see, I
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: don't either, And I think you know. I love it
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: when people yell one two when they start a song
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: one two three I just I love that. There's something
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: that gets me really going in the morning when I
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: hear a song like that.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't recognize any of the other.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: I don't either. And that was that was such a
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: big hit back in back in what the late nineties,
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: early two thousand and something like it was it really yeah,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: you know earlier I think he's making fun of Madonna.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: He's making fun of some other really famous people out
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: in California, which I thought was really funny. I loved that.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: But uh, anyway, let's get to the whisky Thief. Text
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: line five with two four one four fourteen fifty one
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: person said, would you rather go catfish nooting with peanut
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: butter on the interview or you know what? Or watch soccer?
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: You're tally whacker. It refers to it as that anymore.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: My dad used to say that that makes me laugh.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: There is something about that word. It just cracks me up.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: I would rather go noodling, okay, just to let you know, Oh, absolutely,
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: then sit in a box in New York City watching soccer. Yes,
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: I think that's a great question. Thank you, Jamie. I
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: can't believe that was your answer. Yes, that's my answer.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: That is how much? All right? The best way I
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: can describe soccer is I loathe it. That is the
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: lowest of low. I just I have zero interest in it.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, my niece's husband played soccer, he coaches it.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: I'm like, what is wrong with you?
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: My god?
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: He he just goes nuts for it.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: I think my I can't imagine hating something so much
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: that I'd rather put my sickness in a cat.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely I would. You might enjoy it, you never know. Uh,
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: but uh yeah, that's one thing one person. I think
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: a student driver sign is okay and means to give
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: them some grace. Now, a bigger red flag sign is
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: an Indiana plate. Haha, ha, just kidding, Scoots, that's pretty
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: good right there. I like that one, Scoots. I text
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: this line enough that my number should be in your phone.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: I probably text you all more than i'd do my wife,
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: so you should know who this is. I could have pulled.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: Up the text line. Jay.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: You know you're asking him for your number and you
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: didn't have you number, but he does. He texts all
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: the time. And yet you said I don't have his number.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: Well you do have his number anyway, I wish you
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: would have got that challenger this morning, Jamie.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: One person said, short legs, treks, arms and scoots almost
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: eating the steering wheel. Oh sorry, the tracks, Well he
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: did put a space as tracks. I love that short legs,
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: t rex, arms and scoots almost eating the steering wheel.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: That's a great nice job, Zach. That's your brother, he
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: that says that. I love that. Uh. I swear the
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: text line does not does not fail every now and
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: then one person said, thought I would be nice and
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: made a big jug of homemade mint simple syrup and
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: bought the biggest bottle of Woodford I could find for
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: a neighborhood derby party. My goodness, good for you. My
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: intention was to share with anyone that wanted mint julps.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: Was not aware that other people did the same thing.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: Have been having a mint julup nightcap the past week
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: and will probably be doing so for a while. I
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: can't come playing too much, though, ah Lee, that's really
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: you know, going out. That's the one thing you don't
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: do with julips or any mixers. I don't think you
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: should ever take a nice bottle of something and mix
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: it with something. I think you. To me, my thought
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: was always you take a cheap bottle a bourbon or
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: a cheap bottle of vodka rom whatever drink you prefer,
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: drink of choice, and you use a mixer with that.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: You don't use a really good bottle, do you? But
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: good for this guy, I mean shot out the really
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: good bottle, a nice bottle of bourbon.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong. Woodford is my absolute favorite bourbon
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: on the Okay, yeah, but I wouldn't consider Woodford a
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: really nice bird really.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: See, I would. I would tend to get a bottle
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: of jim Bean.
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: Now, if you're buying a bottle of like pappies and
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: poor and simple up in it, you probably shouldn't do that.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't do Woodford. I wouldn't do Buffalo East or
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: anything like that. Okay, you would, I mean, I mean,
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: I mean this guy for doing it now.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: Like I said earlier this week, I'm much more likely
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: to drink bourbon on the rocks as opposed to mixing
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: it with anything. But I'm okay with mixing wood.
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: If mister Illinois sends his address, I think we should
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: go over tonight, you and I and have a little
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: uh uh what is it called mint julip with him?
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: I mean I'd love to have a mint julyp nightcap.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: I know we said a couple of days ago. I
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: love mint julips. I feel like I'm one of the
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: few that does. And the fact that he went out
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: went to the effort and made the simple syrup. I
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: love it when people do that. It's just that about
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: it's nice gesture for people to go out there but
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: and buy the ingredients, but when you go out there
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: and actually make it homemade, extra well, job well done
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: right there. I mean, that's great, one person said. Pope
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: taking questions by chat, says everything about how he feels
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: he has done at his job so far. My question
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: to him would be, at the end of the season, coach,
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: would you consider retiring for the betterment of the program
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: you say you love? Maybe not retiring, but moving on
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: for sure. Here's what I say, He's not gonna. I've
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: had a number of people ask me, do you feel
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: like Mark Pope would walk away from this job? No,
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: the answer is really easy for me. That is not
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: in Mark Pope's DNA. He's not a quitter. And you
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: know what, I wouldn't want to hire a coach that's
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: a quitter and he's going to have to be let go.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: That's not being a quitter, though, that's realizing that, hey,
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: things aren't going the way they should be. I love
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: this university. I'm just gonna do what's best for everybody
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: that's a quitter. I don't know how you define quitting.
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: More is leaving a job if you're a quitter. If
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: I'm okay, So let's just say that I'm here doing
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: this radio job every day. All right now. You and
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: I both know occasionally we have the dead air when
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: we're just talking to you all turn break occasionally. I
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: love it when you react like that until he twice
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: a week. Yeah, but what if I did that every break?
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: And what if it wasn't only twenty thirty seconds. What
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: if every single break I'm sitting over there talking to
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: you for seven minutes and I've got three minutes of.
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: It, You're gonna be fired. You're not gonna quit.
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know that I would be fired, to be
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: honest with you, but I would in my mind. I'm thinking, okay, well,
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: this is not the way that the Big X should sound.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna swallow my pride. I'm gonna step away. Let
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: somebody come in here that could actually do a good job.
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: That's the same thing I look at with Mark Pup. Okay,
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: if you know you're not doing a as good of
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: a job as you could be, let somebody else trayther.
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: It's still quitting.
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: I don't. To me it is, yes, yeah, I mean
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: I I by by the definition.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, probably exactly. So I mean, why are we having
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: this argument. I just flipped. You're the easiest person to flip,
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: and it just makes me smile every time you're like this.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: You still don't want to I see exactly. One person
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: said Michael, I feel like Pope has something cooking. Just
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: feels that way, like any on his over lop rys arony.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: Is that the San Francisco treat, By the way, I
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: have no idea what that.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: I think it is the San Francisco treat never had,
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: have you not. I don't know where that even came from.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: It probably came from a core. I think that is
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: the San Francisco Trea rice A Roney. I can't think
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: that between that and Chef Boyardi, I can't think of
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: two worse things. Tho oh I love do you really?
• 46:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: I tried it as a kid and then it came
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: back up like an hour later, and I've never eaten
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: it again. That was probably Spaghettio's, That's what it was.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: It was Spaghettio's. Yes, I thought it was fantastic. We
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: gotta take a break. Hour two coming up. We'll get
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: back to your text as well. Stay right there.
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: This is just a Cat.
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Just the Cats with Michael Bennett. So they
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: haven't fixed that thing with the announcer coming in, the
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: music playing, and then just the Cat's music coming on
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: right now. I told him not to because you love it.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: I love it, I mean I do. I think it's
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: awesome and it reminds me of my music on my phone.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: I think it's great. So yeah, please don't fix that.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: Long as you're happy, that's all that matters. As long
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: as I am happy, that's all that matters at this station.
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: Is that the most egotistical thing I could ever say?
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: Probably not.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, do you think I have an ego?
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: Be honest?
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: Do you really?
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: We all have egos?
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean some people have a bigger one.
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: I think my boys tend to say I have a
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: big personality, which you know, if you really got to
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: know me, you'll see parts of me that's kind of shay,
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: which people don't believe that I am shat.
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: You definitely have a big ego.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: I do. Oh, that's not good. That's not a bad thing.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: It's not okay to me. It sounds like if.
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: You're working in radio, you kind of need a big ego,
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: are you really? I don't think so. I'd like to
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: be known as humble. You can be humble and have
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: a big ego. Two things, all right. One of the days,
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: I want you to play the rest of our song.
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: You know, the the intro song. Oh yeah, have you
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: ever heard that song before? I don't think I've listened
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: to the whole thing. It's a good song. It's by
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: a band called the Record Company. It's good. I like
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: that song.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: There another people.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: I thought you were referring to our Ai song Ai song.
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: What's that the one you made on Souno?
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, no no no, I'm talking about
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: the the real intro song. I just don't even know
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: what it is. I'm just told you it's the record
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: Company and the song is I don't remember the name
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: of the song. If you if you read a couple
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: of their it's probably their most popular song, and I
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: can't think of the name of it. Would it be
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: how high read? Another one? Off the Ground? Off the Ground?
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: I think it's the name of the song. Okay, Yeah,
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: that's that's it. I'm positive. Yeah, I can't believe you
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: haven't played our AI song. I actually like the Ai song.
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: It's good.
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, although I've never listened to the whole thing, but
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: the unfortunate part. Yeah, you gotta nix the whole Matthew
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: thing because it has Matthew in it. It's like, oh,
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: make it. Yeah, so I have to remake it with
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: just you and me. But I thought that was fun.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: All right. There is one thing I've been wanting to
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: talk about the last couple of days and just haven't
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: done it yet. But have you seen this story about
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: the cruise ship. It's a Dutch cruise ship that's been
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: sailing around the Atlantic. It originated, I'm trying to think,
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: somewhere down in South America and off of Argentina, and
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: it was going to Cape Verde, which is off It's
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: an island off the coast of West Africa. Yes, you're right.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: Do you want me to pronounce it?
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: Nailed? Cape Verde? The go Is that how you say it?
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you kind of put a little ellen there, okay,
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: vin Velde, all right, so yeah enough, all right, it's
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: Green Island, which is probably not green at all. But
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: so they've been out there and evidently they have a
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: virus that's spreading throughout there. There is a bunch of passengers,
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: I think they said like thirteen fourteen, fifteen passengers that
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: have it hantavirus. And I was going to get to that. Yes,
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: you are correct, it's called the hanta virus. You didn't
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: get there quick. You were really impatient with me today,
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: aren't you. You're testing my patience as well. But yes,
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: it's called the hantavirus. Three people have died on this
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: cruise ship. Have you ever heard of hantavirus until today?
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: I mean when I read the story a couple of
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: days ago, but before then, I had never heard of it.
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: Do you know what hantavirus is? It's transmitted because of
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: rodents from their infected urine and yeah, they're pooped and
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. Yeah, but yeah, it's it's
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: from their droppings or their saliva. It causes serious respiratory disease.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: So the only thing they can do for these people
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: is put them on a ventilator. There's no drug for
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: it or anything like that. It's kind of a crazy thing,
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: you know. You know how you go on a cruise
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: and if somebody catches the cold, it just as it
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: goes rampant throughout the whole Cruisia. And that's what's happening here.
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: They say, you don't catch it, it's not an airborne virus,
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: but they feel like this is such a serious virus
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: that maybe it is happening through the air.
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: They're not letting them go anywhere, No, they're not. They
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: rejected them coming into Spain, won't let them talk.
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: No.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: And there's a poor guy that put out a video
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: on social media and he's very emotional. It's an American,
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, Okay, this has gotta be ai, this
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: has got to be something big, and then only to
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: find out it was real, and he's like, we've got
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: nowhere to go. All I want to do is go home.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: And then when I found out it was real, I
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: really felt bad for the guy. You're on this dream
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: cruise going from Argentina over to South Africa or the
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: west coast of Africa, and I'm thinking that sounds awesome,
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: and then you have this happen. Does it make you
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: want to go on a cruise now? Or does it
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: make you not want to go on a cruise at all?
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: I mean I've never had the desire to go on
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: a cruise, have you not? Really?
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: No, I've always said that's one vacation that I probably
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: just won't take. I just I don't like being confined
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: to one space.
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but you're not you're off the ship.
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: No, I know that, but a majority of your trip
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: you are on the ship and you're you can't do
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: anything about it. And I know there's fun things to
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: do on cruise ships, but I don't know. It's just
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: that's never seemed like my idea of a good time,
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: So I've never wanted to This does not make me
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: more likely to want to take Yeah.
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: When I watched the poop Cruise, I mean, that's another
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: one that just I feel like there's so many turnoffs
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: to cruise was the greatest, It was awesome.
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: I loved it. Yeah, nothing made me happier than watching
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: that one. And it was so disgusting people walking around
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: in toilet water.
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: Just feel like the cons are far outweigh the pros
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: for going on a cruise.
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: Well, I just I wonder if this is hurting cruises
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: because you're right, you did have the whole thing on
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: Poop Cruise, you had this. Now you have this horrible
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: virus on another cruise ship. Is it inevitably hurting the
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: cruise ship business? Because you know, the largest one out
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: there is what Carnival, I'd say so, yeah, And I
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: think Carnival's been hit quite a bit because people keep
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: posting all these wild cruises out there, which Carnival is
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: very much like. They're inexpensive. People get on there and
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: just want to drink their to oblivion, which I don't understand.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, have a few drinks, but why do you
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: want to drink to where you don't remember your cruise?
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: Carnival has forty one percent of passenger share. Well, it's crazy,
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: think about it. Though they own Royal Caribbeans. No, Royal
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: Caribbean's different, okay, but they're owned by Carnival Cruise Line.
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: They own twenty seven percent of them. Okay, so you're
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: going individually. Wow. Yeah. Margaritaville's on there somewhere, which I
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: heard is not a great one. Yeah, it's a booze cruise.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, it might as well be Michael Scott on
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: there saying we are sinking. But no, I gotta believe
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: this is going to hurt the cruise business. Maybe so,
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I just got off of one. What
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: in February? I was on one for two weeks, had
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: the greatest time. I loved it. I never thought I
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: would do a cruise for over a week.
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: Now, imagine a virus going through that cruise and you
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: all can't dock anywhere.
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: And you're confined to your room. On top of it all,
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: how are you getting food? Are you going to run
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: out of food? How are you connecting with the world.
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, at some point, you've watched every single movie
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: that's offered on their television. What do you do at
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: that point? I think, yeah, at that point, I think
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: I'm in prison. It's a nice prison, but I'm in prison,
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: and you're scared for your life. I don't know what
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: happens at that point, but anyway, I found it fascinating.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: And I bet you there's gonna be a documentary written
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: on this one.
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: No doubt has to be.
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: Because does that mean there are rats all over the ship.
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: How did this happen? How did it get on board
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: in the first place? So to me, I kind of
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: feel like, well, they are on there. Somebody was telling
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: me that now the state of Kentucky is getting armadillos.
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Indiana too, And.
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: It's like, okay, how are these armadillos migrating to our
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: state or north?
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: How did they get over across the Mississippi River? Are
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: they literally getting on I forty interstate and walking across
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: the Mississippi River into downtown Memphis? Is like, oh, I
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: hear gunshots, I'm out of here. What are they doing?
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: Are they? Cause you know that's the other crazy part.
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: Have you ever seen I'm going really squirrel today. Have
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: you ever seen a deer swim in the Ohio River?
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: I have too, because there's deer on the islands out
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: there in the middle of And we had the one
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: a couple of years ago that jumped off the Belvidere
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: Remember that. I remember that? And where did it go?
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: I don't want to know.
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: Nobody knows.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: It would have been sucked up if the fountain was
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: still out there. So armadillos can swim, by the way,
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: they can, So they're swimming across the Mississippi River and
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: coming to Kentucky and Indiana, so they can they have
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: two ways to swim. This is actually really fascinating. Oh wow,
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: you're oh, you're doing some home.
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: They can goulp air to inflate their intestines for buoyancy,
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: to dog paddle or wow or this is the more
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: fascinating one. Yes, they can hold their breath for up
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: to six minutes.
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: You've got to be kidding men, and walk.
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: Along the bottom of streams. Really, that's crazy.
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: So they're going to the bottom of the Mississippi River
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: and saying, my goodness, look at those catfish. I might
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: do some noodle in myself. I'm out of here. Can
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: you imagine armadillo's can do all? I have learned so
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: much from this show. Armadillos are so cool. You just
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: freaking out. I think they're the creepiest thing in the world,
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: do you.
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I remember when I was living down in Florida,
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: they were They were always super entertaining. So I used
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: to run.
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: Why are they entertaining? I used to run a lot.
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: Okay, and clearly you haven't in a while. Okay, that's true.
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: Thanks for pointing that out. But it was a running
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: up on an armadillo. Yeah, they would occasionally you'd see
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: him on the sidewalks or whatever. Yes, and they would
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: when you got close to them. Yeah, they would run
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: for a couple hundred yards right, settle back down. You'd
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: get close to and they would just do that over
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: and over and over. Really it was awesome. Okay, love
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: those animals.
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: All right? Then, well do they attack though? No, they
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: don't know? Interesting all right, Well, I never knew anything about.
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: This, and that's talking armadillos.
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: I listen, there's got to be a song about armadillo's
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: and their promise. I think there is a song about armadillo's.
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: I've got to learn that. Let's go back to the
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: Whiskey Thief text line forty eight. Handley said, Uh, let
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: me make sure I get the right one here. Yeah.
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: Loathe solid verb, Michael. When I was talking about soccer, solid,
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: I think it's a solid burb and that's the best
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: way to describe soccer. I absolutely loathe soccer. Are you
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: still looking at armadillo crap? No, okay, kind of looking
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: kind of weird over there.
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: One.
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: I'll see here, I'm looking for something. But you Okay, Josh,
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: text it out. How are you crank yakers on Whiskey
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: Thief text line and don't mention them as a good
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: bourbon ha ha Oh boy, Josh, great point right there. Yeah,
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: I should have mentioned my my own sponsor Whiskey Thief,
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: And you know I ran into.
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: I've never had it. You were supposed to bring me
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: a bottle and I've never really.
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: So Okay, I'll bring you a bottle and uh you
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: will say, oh, thank you very much, So I will
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: do that. Thank you very much for that, Josh, And
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: that nice reminder right there.
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: One person said Pope won't walk away for the very
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: reason Michael says he will work endlessly to try to
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: fix things because he feels he can and he's not
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: a quitter. I just think Mark Pope is the mindset,
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: has the mindset that I can do this. I can
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: do even though it just everybody else sees around him
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: that it's just not working out. I still think he
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: has the mindset I can fix this even if the
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: team doesn't have a good season next year, justin I
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: still believe I can still do this. I mean it's
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: gonna have to be a new athletic director coming in
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: here and saying, I really appreciate it, but yeah, it's
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: not working.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: And that's the mindset he should have. He's got blinders on.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: You should when you're in that spot.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, And that's what I was saying earlier, he should.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: I don't want to hire a head coach, athletic director,
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: or anybody that comes to work for me personally unless
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: they have the mindset and determination that they can do it.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it just doesn't work out. I mean, I've had
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: businesses that have been very successful. I've had businesses that
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: have failed. It's how I learned from the failure and
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: the successes for the next business.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: Was one of the failed ones?
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: What's that?
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: What was one of the failed ones?
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: Well, one of the failed one was the food delivery
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: service I had. I mean it did okay, Uh, it
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: just I didn't have the time for it. I ended
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: up selling somebody else made a little money off it.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: But I consider that a failure because I just I
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: felt like I could have done a better job. Yeah,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: but I've had business that had been very successful, and
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: there there's been other ones that haven't succeeded.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: So uh.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: One person said, uh u of L fans and media
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: are making fun of Mark Pope. Do you really fear
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: U of L. That roster doesn't scare me? Well, I
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: mean Pat Kelsey and U of L's getting some very
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: talented players. Do they scare me? No, But let's see
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: how they they perform first before I really say, I'm
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: not gonna say it's gonna be a great team. I'm
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: not gonna see it's gonna be a bad I'm just
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: not sure Pat Kelsey has the mindset that can or
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: the psychology degree that can put all of these ego
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: players that are great and make them a great team.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: Just I've said this before, just because you have some
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: of the most talented players in the world doesn't mean
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: they play as a team. They're individually unbelievably talented, but
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: that doesn't mean they're going to be a team player.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you can get a bunch of mid tier guys
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: to play well together and they are a good Absolutely.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: I kind of feel like Saint John's has been like that.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: Rick Patino's been good about that. And I'll say this
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: to my death, I think the coach, the one coach
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: that could definitely do it is John cal Perry. I'll
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: compliment him till the day I die that he is
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: one of the greatest psychologists out there. He could put
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: all the greatest high school players together and make them
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: a team until he couldn't. He couldn't beginning. I mean
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins and that entire team. You
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: look at the twenty twelve team, that team had unbelievable
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: individual talent that could play as one. Twenty fifteen teams
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: same thing. I mean, I just it was hard to
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: believe that he could do it, but he did it.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: I'm not convinced Pat Kelsey can do it, are you.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 7: Not?
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: Particularly? I mean, I'm not. Honestly, I don't feel good
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: about any of our local coaches. I really don't. Really.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: Why are you saying that about Pat Kelsey. I gotta
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: hold my opinion until we see what this team does.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's won one tournament exactly so, and
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: for the player to the other day to say, well,
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: I'm I forget what the kid's name is, but he's
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: coming in there because of where Pat Kelsey can take him,
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: It's like, what are you talking about? He's one one
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: NCAA game at U of L. He's not taking anybody
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: anywhere now he could.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: I mean again, we're I don't really want to speculate
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: it on it any further because I really do just
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: want to see the players on the floor and how
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: it all pans out for every team.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: Right, Tyler said, the rats probably were in the fast
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: food last food delivery to the cruise ship. That disgusted
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: me right there. I had a conversation yesterday in Dale
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: Roman's office with a gentleman. He was saying, Michael, that's
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: the reason you should always wipe down can drinks when
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: you buy a can drink, rodents have been all over it.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: If not, you could get this virus as well. So
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: there are times I've wiped down my can drink, but
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: I would have to say they're not. There are times
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: I haven't. I look at him before I wipe him.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: When I was a kid, I never looked at it.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: I just opened up sorry drinking. But now with this pandemic,
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: I'm wiping down my can drinks. Even buy can drinks anymore.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: I go to the soda found and get that. Are
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: you the same.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: Way pretty much? Yeah? I mean occasionally I will get
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: a can drink, but and I never ever wipe it off,
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: but I do always look at it for sure.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: One person said, I think the next thing Pope is
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: going to do is live is a live chat on
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: Prodigy and nets or Netscape. Since he's stuck in the nineties,
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: man needs to be on the Super Super Retro podcast.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: Oh boh, why is Riceroni the San Francisco treat I
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: much prefer the SPINNERNI well geez do comment? Okay, yeah, thanks,
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: nice nice text right there. They used to have armadilla
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: races at the State Fair along with the pig races.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: Sadly I finished second that year and didn't get a donut.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: Wait what.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: They used to have armadilla races at their.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: Did you know that you got a donut for winning?
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: Evidently he didn't get a donut far it though, because
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: he finished second. One person said, am I blocked? No,
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: you're not blocked. Marsho Santos, the player Pope went to
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: see last week in Israel today committed to LSU. Wow, yep,
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: thank you Texters. I really appreciate you. Cayle was getting
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: ready to talk about it. Marsho Santos just committed to LSU.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: Pope flies to Israel and still can't sign the guy
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: seriously cannot catch a break.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: How much I mean, like, how much money has just
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: been thrown away this offseason, just wasted trip after wasted
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: trip after wasted trip.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: At this point, now, yeah, I'm getting concerned. You know,
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: you see a number of national media members saying Kentucky
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: is in trouble. I just refuse to believe it. I
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: mean I look at and think, Okay, they're just UK haters. Okay,
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: they don't really know what you're talking about. Now I'm
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: getting to a point, Michael Bennett, a part of the
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: UK media is getting worried. I am forget getting worried.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: I am worried. I just it's going to be interesting
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: what happens. But there there's a lot of time for
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: him to save himself. But man, you talk to some
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: people out there that are just gonna love Mark Pope
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: to the day they die and aren't going to change,
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: and I'm just like, well, you know what, you better
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: figure something out because it's it's it's in the midst
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: of happening right now amongst us, and the fact that
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: he flew all the way to Israel and failed, that's
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: just a really bad luck. And I gotta believe he's
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: really hurting. That's the part I hate, because you know,
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: the guy does love UK, the guy does want to succeed,
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: and he feels the pain from the fan base. That's
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: the part that I feel really bad about, Mark Pope.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: So anyway, all right, let's go ahead and take a break.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: Five O two three four fourteen fifty. You want to
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: call five oh two four to one four fourteen fifty.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: I appreciate those text right there, guys. I appreciate you
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: keeping me up to date on that stuff. So we're
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: gonna take a break a lot more to go. Just
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: the Cats right here.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: You didn't even think as an armadal it was what
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: it was that being done. All that I can do
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: is drive and pray that I was the grounded as.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 3: An armada gun.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 8: Try every morning has a Hello hanging from.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: The corner of my Comforence Horbons bad. I know it's
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 3: not mine. Bad.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: I see if I can use it fther.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 8: We get over one night, stam, all.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: Right, I want to mix it up a little on
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: this segment of Just the Cats. I don't know if
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: you saw this or not, but you know, Eli Capolo,
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: president of the University, went on a listening tour, which
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: I always think is the dumbest idea. Are you really listening?
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: Are you listening to what you want to hear? I
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: never really believe when people say they're going in a
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: listening to her that they're in fact really listening, do you?
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, I just look at it like, well, let
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: me get some facts out there, let me put push
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: my motive out there for people to listen to me.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: It's not really that I'm going to listen to you.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: Does feel a little weird that you got to announce
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: that you're listening? Yeah, exactly. I mean, have you not
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: been listening to the rest of the time, Now you're
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: going to listen and you're getting ready to retire, and
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: now you want to go on a listening to her
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: for what? I don't I don't get. This is the
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: one criticism I'm going to give UK right now. And
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: the criticism I'm giving right now is that Mitch Barnhart's leaving,
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: and you know President Cappealouto is going to be leaving
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: pretty soon. Why not go ahead and leave now and
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: just let the new president pick the ap director that
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: would be best for the university. Because the new president
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: wants his people in there if you're getting ready to leave.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: Nobody wants those people, So nobody. I'm not going to
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: say nobody. I'm sure there's a number of people out
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: there that love to have these jobs. But don't you
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: think it's going to be difficult to hire the people
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: that really should be hired because they don't know who
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: their boss is going to be.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: That's a big concern that and you would just have
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: to be you'd have to concern yourself with is Capaludo
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: doing what's best for the.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: University at this point?
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 3: No?
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 2: Probably not with his foot one foot out the door exactly.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: So what he has learned on his listening tour is that, uh,
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: he's looking at hiring, which might be the dumbest thing
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: I've ever heard a dual athletic director. Do you even
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: like the sound of a dual athlete? And let me
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: describe this a little. I was about to say, what
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: even is that?
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: What he means by this is one focusing on the
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: business aspect of college athletics that includes like the fundraising
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: and while while the other one in the money side
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: of it. While the other one would be managing the coaches,
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: the hiring, the firing and all that kind of stuff.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: To me, it's just like, why do that? Don't to me?
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: I would rather have a general manager for each sport,
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: and not for every sport but your major sports. So
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: I think Mark Pope needs a manager. Universe Kentucky basketball,
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: I think Will Stein Universe Kentucky football, they need general managers.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: I even I'm to the point now where I believe
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: Kenny Brooks needs a manager.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: I don't Kenny Brooks doesn't need anything because he's doing
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: it all on damn self.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: But you know, why wouldn't it be good for him
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: to be out there and have only recruiting and then
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: you have a manager that's out there that is recruiting
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: money for your program. I think women's basketball at Kentucky
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: is becoming more and more relevant and becoming more and
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: more popular and accepted and successful, and in order to
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: keep that and be ahead of the curve, he needs
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: to hire a general manager. I think all three sports should.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: I'm almost to the point where maybe UK baseball needs
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: that too, because Nick Minngeon I don't know if he
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: can balance all that. So I look at it from
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: that aspect. You can't say, let's have a athletic director
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: that's gonna be in charge of the business side of it,
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: raising the money, and how's he going to divvy up
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: all the money? He's like, well, you're keeping more popular
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: things going to basketball, more money's going to football. You just, no,
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: you need to have those individuals taking care of each
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: individual sport.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: Can't you delegate some of this stuff to your assistant coaches?
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: Though, No, you need to have one person concentrating on that.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: One thing I've learned in business and that's why I've
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: been successful at business in the past, is because I
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: have individuals that have strengths and weaknesses and identifying those
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: people that have those strengths and putting them in the
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: right job. Assistant coaches are assistant coaches. They're not assistant fundraisers.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: A coach is not a fundraiser. A coach is there
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: mentoring the players, working with the players, trying to get
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: them the next step, and that's playing professionally. They are
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: not fundraisers.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just trying to throw out other ideas
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: because how many times are we going to discuss getting
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: a GM and just it's nothing.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: It's not going to happen. I know. I'm hoping they
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: find somebody out there that recognizes, Hey, guys, we're the
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: University of Kentucky. We're a very successful, historically well organized university.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: And what are we doing. We don't have we don't
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: have any kind of person in charge of the fundraising
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: for these sports. Are you kidding me? Yes? We need
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: to hire good people that want to do this. I mean,
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: look at Duke University now. Duke University, I'm not I
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: don't want to bypass the rest of this conversation yet,
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: but Duke University now has made a deal with Netflix
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: to play three games.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: Is Netflix or Amazon? Amazon?
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Yeah, you're right Amazon. It's like, good for them.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: I am really envious of what Duke has going on.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: That's a tremendous job right there. Yea, why isn't Kentucky
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: doing the same thing? Because we're not relevant right now?
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: Are we still in a position though, or still in
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: a spot with all this stuff that trying to figure
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: out the best way to do things? Like the whole
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: Duke deal was like, that's earth shattering. I mean, that's
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: it is.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: That'll be a thing that's breaking for college athletics right there.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: So I just I don't know, I still feel like
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: we're still so new into all this stuff that everyone's
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: still trying to figure out what you can and can't do,
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: what's gonna benefit your program, what's gonna hurt it? Well,
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: I can't tell you what's hurting it right now. Not
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: having a GM and not having these type of negotiations
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: with Netflix, with Amazon, with HBO. I mean, that's what
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: UK should be doing. All the blood blue bloods, UK, Kansas,
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: North Carolina and Duke the blue bloods. But UK is
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: not even relevant enough to be a part of You
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: forgot Indiana. Oh I'm sorry, they're not a blue blood.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: I ranked them down there with U of L. But
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: I just I am surprised by this and then the
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: fact that you're going to do a dual ad who
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: wants to take that job? I don't want to come there,
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: and I'm only in charge of part of the athletic department.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: Are you getting half the money too? Well, that's a
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: great question. Are you Mitch Barnhardt's making what around nine
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand million dollars a year? Oh? No, he's making
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: over he's making a million two I believe. And you're
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: telling me now we're gonna have two people for one job.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: I think that's a fair question. Are they gonna get
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: five hundred thousand dollars each? Who's gonna take this? I
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: don't want to have a job unless I have full control,
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: and I guarantee you everybody that's considering this right now
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: is like, yeah, I'll pass. So we're gonna get some
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: boob in there that's not gonna do a half assed job,
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: and guess what, we're gonna be further behind the eight
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: ball again. I don't know.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: I think an opportunity like that sounds intriguing. I mean,
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: I'm still gonna get a half million and I have
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: to do half the work that the last guy did. Man,
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: that sounds intriguing.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: Then you're hiring people that really shouldn't have this job.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: You're not getting the krim de la creme of people
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: that should be running the universe sy of Kentucky.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: That's that's the fear. You're definitely not gonna get experienced
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: athletic directors, get two of them to come in and
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: sign up.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: For no, absolutely not. You're getting somebody maybe from a
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: mid major. It's just the dumbest idea I have ever
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: heard in my life. Getting somebody from a mid major
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: can work. Ask Indiana football. You never know, you don't.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: If it's somebody coming in with the right mindset, good ideas,
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: you know, you don't know how it's going to play out.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: You don't.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: But I still look at this, this is the egotistical
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: Michael Bennett coming out for UK. We're UK. We're not
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: a mid major. I mean we're not even a mid
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: Division one team. We are UK.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: I thought you said you didn't have an ego.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, egotistical mindel egotistical UK Michael Bennett. Okay, there's
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: a difference there. It's not Michael Bennett, it's egotistical UK.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: Michael bann That's a lot of words right there. It's
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: a lot to spit out. I've just spit all over
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: this thing. I'm sure Mike Rutherford is going to get
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: the lysol on spray down this microphone now every day. Yeah,
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: that's so gross to me. I would just rather buy
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: my own phone with a microphone and then some new
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: phone bad. Yeah, Can I go buy some of my
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: own because sometimes I get a little too close to
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: it and then I taste the lightsol. That's even worse.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you want to go out and buy four
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: of these that it probably I know.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: I'm buying my own. I'm taking this thing off, putting
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: my own on there, and then when I leave, I'm
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: taking my own off and putting the old crappy one
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: on it. That's so self. My nose is itching like
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: crazy right now. At least buy me one so I
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: can do the same. I'd be happy to do that
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: for it. Are they expensive?
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: No?
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: God, no really? Oh, then I'm going to buy you something.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: Report out of the Athletic saying that Rajon Rondo is
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: one of four. You know, we talked about this last week,
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: one of four running for the Pelican's job. He says,
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: I know I can do it now. I have the discipline, preparation,
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: and obviously it's about having the right people around you.
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: He's absolutely correct. I it's it's it's been done before, okay.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: And I think you forget this JJ Reddick, Steve Kerr,
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: Jason Kidd, Steve Nash, Derek Fisher, and you're forgetting another one,
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: Larry Bird. They all never had a head coaching job
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: in their life and took over an NBA team. And yes,
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: you're right, some of them were successful. But man, I
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: look at Lebron. Okay, Larry Bird, who did he have?
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: He did a pretty good job at the Pacers, and
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: I will say I became a really big fan of
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: the Pacers when Larry Bird was there, and then he
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: walked away and became the general manager. He was a
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: phenomenal coach, and yet he never had a coaching job
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: in his life.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: Look, I'm not doubting the legitimacy of Rondo potentially coaching
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 2: one day, but he's not getting this job.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: Why not? I said, so, oh oh wow, then we're done.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: It's I hope you were listening to Just the Cats
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: today May sixth, on this Wednesday hump day, because Justin
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: Caylin said, it's not happening. That's it. Because I say something,
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: you already sound like a parent, just to let you know,
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: told you I'd be a good dad. Because I say, so,
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: what a horrible comment. This is supposed to be a
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: professional sports show. And you said, because I say so,
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: has it been that never? But I like to pretend
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: in my head, Okay, but no, I listen. I I
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: I look at this Rajon Rondo quoted. I read all
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: the end quote. I just kind of put a little
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: bit of the quote on there. He's saying all the
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: right things. Yeah, I mean I would say the right thing.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, the dude has how many years did you
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: playing in the NBA? Eighteen years, nineteen years?
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 2: Long time?
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: Very successful. Don't you think he's been taught by some
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: of the best out there? For sure that he could
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: take all that he has learned?
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: Again, I think Rondo could be a successful NBA coach.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: But he's not getting this job. Man, He's just not.
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: And if he does, what are you gonna owe me
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: a third lunch? I'm gonna eat some crow. We can
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: have it, have it. I'm not eating crow, dude, You're
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: gonna get me something. And uh, maybe we'll get handed virus. Yeah, no,
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: why would you say. I just heard what you said.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: It took me for a minute. Maybe we'll get hantavirus.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: My goodness, I don't have enough money to supply a
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: ventilator for both of us.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 2: That's horrible to say. What could happen if you eat crow?
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: One person? No, I think that's a rodent, it's not crow.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: One person said. I I hope the miss on Santos
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: was because Pope didn't see what he wanted when he
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: was there. And LSU overpaid. The guy did score zero
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: points and go oh for four from free throw and
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: the game Pote watched.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 2: Good point now much to desire there.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: No, there isn't if you go see a player. But
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: you know what, I wouldn't just leave it on one
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: game because he might have known that Pope was there
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: to specifically watch him, and it made him really nervous. Sure,
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: and maybe I still don't want to player that player exactly.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 2: Is that the type of player you want?
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: Probably not? Uh forty eight handily said. When I was
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: training in the desert of New Mexico, I saw Armadillo's
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: I was more impressed with the jack rabbits. They were huge, slow,
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: day to day jack rabbits.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: My dad swears up and down the jack rabbits are
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 2: a real thing.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: Say that again, your dad what he.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 2: Swears that jack rabbits are a real thing, like the
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 2: rabbits with antlers.
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: Oh that's not called a jack rabbit, is That's what?
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 2: No, there is.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: There are real jack rabbits. They're bigger than just regular rabbits.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: But there are big There are jack rabbits. They're actually
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: large hairs, Are they really? What's the difference in a
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: hair and a rabbit. Great question. I have no idea.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: Here we go. We're gonna take a break and you
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: can find out then, h fort you handle? He said,
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: because I said so has been called.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 2: That's right, he's right.
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: Because Justin said Sora, Rondo will not get his job.
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: You just go ahead and make all your best place
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: your bets out there in Las Vegas. Rondo will not
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: get the job. Nobody can tell me I'm wrong. Uh, well,
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: we're gonna tell you you're wrong, and you're gonna hear it,
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna let that be the end of it.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: So that's that's what's gonna happen right there. We're gonna
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: take a break. When we come back, MLB is looking
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: at a whole thing of realigning all of baseball. What

• 1:24:22

• 1:25:12
  Speaker 3: I live the truth.
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: You freak me out when you started playing this because
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: I forgot we were talking about that. You're you're all right?
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 2: So what is your.
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: Opinion on this song? Now?
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 2: I can't ever hear it?
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: Why? Oh really? Okay, yeah, I know, I'm sure I've
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: screwed that up. But you've never heard the guy sing though, right,
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: you've never heard the song. I still think it's like,
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: oh my gosh, what happened? Did you mess up? Did
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: the computer mess up? Or are we restarting the show?
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: Did I miss something?
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 2: Here?
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: We have another hour and I forgot that. I said,
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: you need to play it. So you've done a great job,
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: thank you. But yeah, that was that was fun. I
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: do I like that song. It's just the bass part
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: we hear, we don't hear them saying the course that
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: I'll play on the way outs. Okay, good, Yeah, it's
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: I like it. I like the record company. They have
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: a Now it's not been an overly popular band, but
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: they still tour around. I think they're coming to a
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: littleville sometimes soon.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's a pretty original name, the record Company.
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I get it. Well, it's like the
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: Black Keys.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 2: They mailed that in well, I mean, no Black Keys
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: at least has some originality to it.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: You don't think the record company has originality. Sometimes the
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: most obvious thing is the most original thing.
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 2: Should we name this band? We can't think of a name.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: Come on, all right, it's so boring.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: You think the Who is a great name for a band,
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: it's more original. Then there's another one called the Guess Who.
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: And then you have another band called the band, literally
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 1: called the band that's the exact same as the record
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: But you know, they're one of the more popular bands
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: I think from the sixties and seventies. But their name
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: was the band. They have all all kinds of unbelievable songs.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: It's better than Ambrosia, that's all I say. I like
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: better than a fruit salad. I just can't imagine naming
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: my band a fruit salad. What would your band name
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: be if it's not the Idiots, it would be nut job.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: I think that would be a good band name. Actually
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: like that, dear? Really yeah, I think it could be
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: something like that. Blowhole. I mean because I'm a radio blowhole.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: I mean there could be all kinds of stuff. Yeah,
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: I could come up with great name. I'm convinced of that.
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: I'm voting nut job, horse poop. I mean, there could
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: be some horse ones I would want. Nay, oh god, yeah, no,
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: you're getting worse. Okay, we got to move on, all right?
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: Then the Major League Baseball is looking at realigning boom.
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: Do you not like it?
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 6: No?
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 2: All right, Why it's not gonna happen?
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 1: Why do you say that? I think there is a
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: strong chance, and there's been a lot of people that
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: are predicting what's going to happen. Is because you know,
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: now you got where you got because Houston, the Astros
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: used to be a part of the American League. Now
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: they switch. Then I'm getting used to Houston being a
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: part of the National League. There's a chance they can
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 1: move back it's like, what are you doing? Please? Don't
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: keep changing these teams back and forth.
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 2: I just I don't see a world where we're moving,
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 2: where we're realigning, unless there's expansion. Well, now that's been
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 2: talked about. They do want to go up to thirty
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 2: two teams like the NFL, like, yeah, the kids they
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 2: got thirty now. Yeah, yeah, they do want to go
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 2: up to thirty two. And in that scenario, I could
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 2: see them shuffling some things around, but I don't think
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be dramatic.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: Here's what they're looking at. They'll start with the American League.
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: They're going to have a North, South, East, and West.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: North is going to be Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago White Sox
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: and the Twins Minnesota Twins.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 1: I kind of like that. South is going to be
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 1: in the American League Texas Rangers, Houston Astros, Kansas City Royals,
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: and the Colorado Rockies. Not really South, but okay, h
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: East is gonna be and this is where I really
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: like it. East is gonna be Boston Red Sox, Orioles, Yankees,
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: and the Blue Jays. No longer does my Tampa Bay
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: Rays have to have that dauntlet of a schedule every
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: single year. The West is gonna be, which is still
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: weird to me, Las Vegas Athletics, the Angels, the Mariners,
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: and expansion team.
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 2: See told you it's not gonna happen unless there's expansion.
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: They're gonna expand they want more money.
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 2: I'm hoping.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: Now, let's talk about the National League the North. This
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: is where I got nervous. What's gonna happen to our
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati Reds and are we gonna lose the series that
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: we dearly love between two teams? Well, according to this,
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: they're saying Cubs Cardinals perfect right there with the Reds
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 1: and Milwaukee Brewers kind of like that, So.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 2: We lose the Pirates. I like that. I would rather
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: keep the Pirates.
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: Would you really and give up who? Uh?
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 2: Brewers or collegials?
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 7: Uh?
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: South is going to be Atlanta Braves, Miami Marlins, Tampa
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: Bay Rays. I love this, and an expansion team. Clearly
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: they're If you look at this, you think expansion team
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: out West, expansion team in the South. Where do you
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: think those expansion teams will be? We'll talk about that
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: in a minute. East it's going to be Pittsburgh Pirates,
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia Phillies, New York Mets, and the Nationals. West is
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: going to be the Dodgers, Giants, Padres, Diamondbacks. Fantastic right there.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: I love that. I love that one. Uh So, expansion
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 1: teams out west? Where do you think the expansion team
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: is going to be? Tell me the teams again that
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 1: are with that expansion team? Las Vegas, La Angels, Mariners.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: Expansion team West would be Oh, that's kind of tough.
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out who it is. Before I
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: would have said Las Vegas while they got the A's. Now,
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: could they be going back to Oakland? I don't think so.
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: Could it be another California team? Could it be Portland,
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: San Francisco, the Giants? What are you talking about?
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 2: That was so dumb? Portland dumbest thing up all morning.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 2: Portland would be good, Yeah, they ain't think of I
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 2: think Portland's probably the Ads.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: I think South is pretty obvious. You got the Braves, Marlin's,
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Rays. Where would the expansion team be in
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: the South? I'm thinking New Orleans? Are you really yeah?
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: Because you know Nashville is really trying to make a
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: push for MLB.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but no, I'd go New Orleans over them.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: I would too, because I don't want Nashville. I have
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: another freaking thing. I just I just you talk about
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: loathing soccer, I'd loathe now about Memphis. Memphis is not good. No,
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: they're They're a dying city. Nobody wants to go there.
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: I promise you. The NBA is to the point where
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: they want Memphis Grizzlies to leave Memphis and more than
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: likely to go to Nashville. That's what they're looking at,
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: and they will be pushing it within the next five years.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: Teams don't even want to go there and play against them. Now,
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: did you see the video last night of Jared Vanderbilt
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: the Lakers against the But I'm not going to watch it. No,
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: you don't want to watch it. It might be the
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: ugliest thing I've seen in a long time. If you
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: haven't seen it yet, it is worth watching the response
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: from the thunder bench. So what happened is Jared Vanderbilt
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: is going up for a block and against the thunder player.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: I don't remember who the thunder player was, but his
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: pinky hit the backboard as he was going for the block,
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: and they say completely dislocated his pinky. Now, when I.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 1: When I hear it was completely dislocated, you gotta believe
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: it's either completely back or completely sideways. And the looks
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 1: that the players from the thunder bench were giving him
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: were absolutely priceless. All of them were. I can't look
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: at this. It was just absolute looks of grotesque.
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 2: This stuff makes me so queasy.
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: Does it really?
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 2: Does?
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: I feel bad for Jered Vanderbilt. You know, he's out
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: there playing, he's out there producing for the Lakers and
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: doing really well.
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 2: Maybe you shouldn't be so tall.
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: Is that what it is?
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't hit your hand on the back park? Yeah, but
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 2: that's but then you basketball. It's never happened to me.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 1: Well, I just I get to a point that's true. Yeah,
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: it definitely hasn't happened to you.
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 2: Uh but no, I.
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 1: I I feel bad for him. Hopefully, I'm sure they
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: just knocked it back in, but he's probably going to
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 1: be out there. You think, oh, that's just good. All right?
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: Did you see the brawl brawl in Mississippi? What between a.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 2: H Are we bringing this up with one minute? Okay?
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: Should I save it for tomorrow?
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 6: No?
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: Because now I have to know it's it's the brawl
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 1: between the uht A U fourteen baseball game down in
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: Mississippi between uh a co who happens to be a
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 1: deputy sheriff and an umpire, and I mean it is
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 1: a fight. They don't show the whole brawl. They only
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 1: show the deputy knocking the heck out of the empire.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: But evidently the umpire made the first swing. So me
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: A's coach is way bigger than the umpire. Yeah, but
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 1: bite somebody of your own size, buddy. But but here's
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 1: the thing. The umpire, they say, made the first swing,
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: so the coach was going after him. It doesn't matter
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 1: which way it went. It's a bad look for baseball
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: and youth baseball.
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 2: And you got the kids getting involved yet Oh yeah,
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 2: it was just an ugly scene.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: If you haven't seen that, go check it out. It's
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 1: a you know, I don't know. I'm fascinated by those
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 1: kinds of things. So anyway, I think it's sad, especially
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 1: when you're trying to be out there and being mentors
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 1: for kids and you're out there in a fight yourself.
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I just I hated that for the kids. I
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: hate that for the families that had to be forced
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: to be involved in something like that. But the deputy
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: schiff is probably gonna lose his job over this, which
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: is you know, you just changed your career right there
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 1: in a matter of second. So all right, everyboy appreciate
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 1: you listening. Fun show today. We'll see them on just
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 1: a cast
