• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I got to tell you, I have never had, I'm
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: just going, I know we said it a couple of
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: minutes ago. I've never had a better birthday week in
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: my entire life. And it is so much fun to
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: come in here on Monday morning and not talk about
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: a loss, but talk about another win. And UK is
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: the only school that has done this twice. since the
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: inception of the Overtime Rules back in, what was it, 1996, 1997.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: This is just fantastic. How are you doing today?
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: I am great. I am not doing as good as
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: you and the rest of BBN, but I'm doing pretty
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: solid here on this Monday. Happy to be here.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear. Yeah, because y'all, you played a
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: little bit of a close one against Nebraska. Scary. Yeah. Scary.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: But yeah, this was, it was strange. You know, I
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I'm up there in the press box on Saturday night
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: at Commonwealth stadium, and I'm trying to get a drink
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: and then, uh, walk up, uh, uh, Jeff McCurl walks
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: up to me and I'm saying, we're just chit-chatting a
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: little bit. And, and I said, well, how do you
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: feel about this? He, his response was exactly kind of
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: like I felt. I hope we are just close. That's
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: all we were hoping for. Just a good game. Let's just,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: let's keep it close. We don't want it to be
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: another situation where we're just getting totally blown out, but
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: you know, The first possession that LSU had, they just
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: marched down the field. Thank goodness, looking back at that,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: UK defense only allowed them to get a field goal,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: which I was happy with. And then UK just turns
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: around and CJ Baxter, who was just an absolute horse.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: He is.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, un-freaking-believable.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: At least in that first half.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, absolutely.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: Second half, he struggled.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: He did a little bit, but that was okay. Adjustments
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: happened at halftime for both teams. Successful adjustments, but not
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: enough for LSU. a little more for UK, but to
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: see him go that, that one, he made that one
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: long run and kept turning around. It's like, dude, don't
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: turn around. Look at the big jumbotron in front of you.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Watch that. Oh, exactly.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: You're right.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I think he turned around. I know twice, if not
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: three times. And just somebody's got to coach him up
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and say, dude, just look at the TV screen in
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: front of you. It's all you had to do. Just
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: keep running. And he would have scored. But, I mean,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: it's just like, okay. At that point, I thought, man,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I'm yelling, by the way. I'm sorry. I'm excited. You
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: should be yelling. I am so excited. But at that point,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I thought UK is going to play a game here.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I really did. And I just had an eerie confidence
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: after that. And it was just, I mean, my mind
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: is going everywhere right now. I just want you to know.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm going to be able to
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: keep on one topic the entire show today, okay? That's
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: nothing new. Oh, come on. but you're acting like this
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: is abnormal. I know, but my mind is really going 50,000.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Usually it's about four or five different places right now.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: It's going in a thousand different ways right now. So anyway,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: you're going to have to keep me on topic just
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: to let you know. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. All right.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Because here's what I loved. I loved this game from
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the very start, even before the start to the very end,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: rich Brooks, uh, watching him come out all of a
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: sudden you see them come outside you know from uh
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: uh their practice facility over there uh across from the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: stadium and uh all of a sudden you see will
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: stein on the screen smiling and i'm like what's good
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: what who's he smiling i thought oh it's probably his
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: mom and dad or something like that he's going to
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: give him a hug and then to have him seen
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: uh giving Coach Brooks, big hug coming on. It's like, okay,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: now you lost me. I love this. Just the fact
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: that he brings back Rich Brooks, who's the last coach
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: to beat, well, no, it wasn't the last coach, but
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: who had that incredible 2007 win against, at that time,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: number one. LSU, and have him walk out on the field.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: And then Coach Brooks, I had to watch and see
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: how far. He jogged out there all the way to
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the 40-yard line. He almost made it to the 50-yard line. But, see,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: the dude, he's not young anymore. He's not a spring chicken.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: How old is he? I think he's almost 80, if
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: not 80. And why don't you look it up real quick?
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: 85.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Is he 85?
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't have guessed that. Never mind. No, I would
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: have said, I wouldn't have been surprised if you told
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: me he was 78, 79.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: That's my grandpa's age.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: He is 85 years old. Or I should say years young.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: He just looks great. He is by far my favorite
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: UK football coach. I've always loved Rich Brooks. The embrace
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: was really cool. It was. I just love that.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: You could just tell how much... Will Stein respected him
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: and just how much he meant to Will Stein because
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: he was the coach when Will was growing up, right?
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: I mean, Will's my age, so he would have been, what, 7, 8,
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: 10 years old?
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: And then they really got to know each other when
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Will Stein was out at University of Oregon. So that's
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: where they really got to know each other. And Will
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Stein admits that he talked to him quite a bit
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: and became really good friends. So for this game, he
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: knew he had to bring it back. And I thought
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: that was tremendous. I mean, that really put the tone
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: on the game right there because everybody loved it. When
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: they saw Rich Brooks and the two, Will Stein and Brace,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: the crowd went nuts. And before the game, the stadium,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: you know, and it was supposed to be really bad weather. Now,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the stadium wasn't completely full, but I got to tell you, Justin,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: it was 99% full before the game started. Oh, yeah.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: By the time the game was going, it was full.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, people showed up no matter what the weather
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: was looking at. And it was windy. Holy cow. And
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: it was loud.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: But there wasn't too much rain, right?
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: No.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: So I nailed that.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: It did not rain. If I remember correctly, I don't
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: think it rained at all during the game.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: That's incredible. Because I told Dr. John on Friday, I said,
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: rain's not going to affect this game.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Did you really?
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: I did.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: I said, maybe you get some drizzles here and there.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: But I told him, I said, the thing you're going
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: to have to watch out for is the wind.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: So I'm glad that played out exactly like I said.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: By the way, how'd John do? Great. Did he?
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: We had a lot of fun on Friday.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Okay, good. Yeah, because he asked me, he goes, Michael,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I thought you were going to call in Friday. And
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I said, well, Justin told me not to. What? That's
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: not true. It is true. You said you got it
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: all covered. So I said, okay, I'm on. That's not
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: true at all. Oh, okay. Was I supposed to call in?
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't care either way. Oh, thanks. I
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: appreciate that. Uh, but anyway, uh, crowd was loud. The
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: crowd was early. And I got to tell you, UK
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: has really, they, we, you and I have talked about
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: the social media aspect of what UK has done this year.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Home runs. I mean, absolutely grand slams now going to
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: a game at night and all the light effects that
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: they have now on the stadium, on the cheerleaders, the band,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: it's just unbelievable.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: I mean, it was really cool.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: It did.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: Like I said, and during our crosstalk, it came across
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: well on TV, the whole light show thing, and then just,
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: it was awesome. The loudness of the crowd, just the
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: sheer amount of blue-white chants that came across my TV set, nuts.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, up in the press box, it's
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: pretty sterile, okay, because they got that glass, and you
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: can't open the windows or anything, and so you typically
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: do not hear the crowds. But through the glass in
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: the press box, you could hear it. And, I mean,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: it was loud. The stadium was shaking. And just what
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: an incredible experience that was. But, anyway, buddy, I'm on
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: the radio. Can I call you back? Thanks. That's my
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: son calling me. I figured they'd know about it. No,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: they just don't. I mean, good Lord. But, anyway. But, yeah.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: The only part that worried me, though, LSU was really
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: exposing the linebackers too easily. Yeah, you didn't have any
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: of them. Exactly. I know. And they exposed it right away. But, yeah,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: it was something else. But they moved the ball down
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the field, which kind of bothered me. I wasn't upset
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: about giving up the three points. uh but i mean
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: this the 77 yard run to me by cj baxter
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: set the tone i mean i would have to say
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: my biggest complaint was probably Lane Kiffin coming out on
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the field and complaining the entire time. That was exhausting. Yes.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: He was literally killed. He killed the momentum on three
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: different occasions.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: And that was intentional. Absolutely. And here's the thing. Will
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Stein had had enough of it in the second half.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: He did.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: And then he started getting on the field. And it's
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: like the official came over and ran him off. It's like, whoa, whoa, whoa,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: wait a minute.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that was funny to watch because he was like,
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: you could very clearly read his lips. And he's just like,
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: what are we doing?
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. What are we doing? Oh, yeah, you could. I
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: didn't need binoculars to be able to tell what he
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: was saying. But it's like, wait a minute. You're running
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Stein off the field, yet you're letting Kiffin stay out there.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: It's like. Is there a Kiffin rule that he's allowed
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: to come out there and do as much as he did?
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: And the other part was the late timeouts. Yes.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: How many late timeouts did LSU get? You all got
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: one as well, for what it's worth.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: We got one.
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: But, I mean, they got more, especially at timely possessions
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: for UK. It's like, that's interesting. But I didn't understand
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: the whole why Lane Kiffin was coming out in the field. Well,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I understand why he was doing it. I don't understand
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: why he was allowed to.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: By the way, I did figure out one of the
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: reasons why I can't stand Lane Kiffin on Saturday.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, now you've got me going now. After watching that game,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: it's like, okay, I see why so many people don't
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: like him. He's getting on my nerves. But go ahead.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: He wears a visor. What's wrong with the visor? I
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: just don't know that anyone should be doing that. Really?
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: I don't like visors. And especially when he has it.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: You don't like it because he wears a visor. Especially
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: when his hair is all disheveled. Like the dude looks
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: like he's never seen a brush. So if you're going
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: to wear a hat that exposes your hair, at least
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: make your hair look presentable, not thrown a million different
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: directions the way it was.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: All right. Name the coaches that you remember that wear visors.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Because I know. Number one, him. Yes. That's it. No,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: there's more.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: I don't remember any others.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh. Are you kidding me? Steve Spurrier was
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: famous for wearing a visor.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Was his hair disheveled when he wore it? No,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: but his hair wasn't quite as long either. That's the difference.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Kiffin's hair is longer than it should be. Spurrier kept
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: it cut close. Didn't John Gruden wear a visor as well?
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: I think Gruden was a visor. Yeah, see, I think
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: John Gruden was. Isn't Kirby Smart a visor wearer?
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: Probably so, yeah.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: You know, I didn't realize how many there were. See,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not alone here. If I remember correctly, I believe
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Lane's dad, Monty Kiffin, wore a visor when he was
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: coach down at Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I don't know. What
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: is the.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: Point of a hat?
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Monty wore a hat. He did wear a hat?
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: Fair enough.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: But I don't understand visors anyway. Can you? Because when
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: you wear a hat, it's supposed to keep you warm.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: What was the point of a visor? Just to keep
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: the sun out of your eyes and that's it? Whoa, whoa, whoa.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: We got to reverse here.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: The point of a hat is to keep you warm?
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: The point of wearing a hat is to keep you warm.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: That is correct.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: That is not what I would have said. Because that
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: is where heat escapes. The point of a hat- Is
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: the top of your head. The point of a hat
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: is to keep the sun out of your eyes. That's
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: number one, yes.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: But in the wintertime, the point of wearing a hat
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: is to keep you warm. Because heat escapes your body
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: from- Just a regular hat. Yeah. I don't know why
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: a regular hat wouldn't do that. I've just never heard that.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: The heat escapes your body from the top of your head.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: I do know that. But I've never heard the point
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: of wearing a hat is- Keep your body warm.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: That's wild.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Okay. Well, there you go. You learn biology from Michael
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Bennett on a daily basis.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: I don't know if that's biology.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Ah, come on. What is it then? Science. Oh, science.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: Which I guess is biology.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: I love how you just change out your own mind
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: right there.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: Anyway. You're in a different mood, too, today. I love
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: every second of it. I'm in a tremendous mood.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Are you really? Tell me why.
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: Because, I mean, this weekend just rocked. Like, I didn't
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: do anything particularly exciting. So I literally just sat around
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: all weekend and watched football. And that college slate on
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: Saturday was freaking awesome. Like, every game that I watched,
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: I took in probably portions of, upwards of 20, 25
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: games on Saturday.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: And it felt like every game that I turned on
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: was just awesome.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: I just, I thoroughly enjoyed my Saturday watching college football
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: and then Yesterday, the NFL slate was a lot of
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: fun as well.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: So, I don't know.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: I'm just really happy on this Monday. And knowing it's
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: my birthday week, that might have something to do with it.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. Listen, my horse trainer up there
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: in New York, Horacio DePaz, we'll talk about him a
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: little later. But he said, Michael, you have to go
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: play the lottery. This is your week to go play.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: And I forgot to play the lottery. Don't play Powerball. Why?
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: Because you're not going to win Powerball. Go get you
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: some scratchers.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Somebody wins. I mean, might as well be you. Isn't
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: that their famous slogan? But it's never going to be you. Thanks.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: That makes me want to go play right now. Go
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: play then. Why is it not going to be me?
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: It's just not. It's just not. Okay. God, that's the
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: most negative thing I've.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: Ever heard somebody tell me. The odds are so stacked
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: against you at the Powerball. You are much better going
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: and buying like $ 20 worth of scratch-off.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: All right, so what about Mega Millions? Is it the
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: same thing as Powerball? Exact same thing.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: Well, and Mega Millions is worse because it's $ 5 a
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: ticket now instead of $ 2 like it used to be. Yeah,
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: why did they raise that? To build bigger jackpots. But
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: then every morning when I drive past that sign on
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: my way here, That's got the Powerball and the Mega
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: Millions numbers on it.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Powerball's always higher. Always. Is it really?
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: Every single day.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: Huh.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: That's interesting because, yeah, it's more expensive to play Mega Millions,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: yet Powerball's the same price as it always was.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: That's because people are still buying Powerball. If they moved
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: the Powerball up to $ 5 instead of $ 2, the sales
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: would go way down.
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: And I think that's probably happened.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: There's your Powerball Minute. You're welcome, Powerball Mega Minutes. You
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: just got free advertising from Just the Cats and you
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: didn't pay us a dime.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: Just the Lottery.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay, whatever. Just the Lottery. That's a great name.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: I like that. UK finished the half with a touchdown.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: I did like that.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: 21-17.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: God, that was huge. Time of possession. Here was the
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: crazy part with the first half. Did you see the
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: time of possession comparison? 20 minutes to LSU and UK
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: had nine.
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: That's why that.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: Touchdown before half was so big. Oh, absolutely that was big.
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: And for him to try to get that.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: The amount of stones on this guy.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Jeez, O.P. All right. Incredible. We're going to take a break.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: But when we come back, I want to ask you
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: this question. Do you like Will Stein's aggressiveness? Don't answer
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: it right now. We're going to answer that as soon
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: as we come back. Because I think you just did.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: But you are exactly right. Do you like Will Stein's aggressiveness?
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: You let me know. 502-414-1450. You want to text me
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: on the Whiskey Thief text line. Or you can tweet
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: me at just the cat radio. Or call in. Listen,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: phone lines are open. If you want to call in
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: and talk about this game, I'll let you talk. I
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: don't interrupt you like other people do. So, anyway, just
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: I'm kidding. By the way, I ran into two people
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to run into in the press box. So,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: there you go. Yeah, I was forced to say hello.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Did you have some Lord's chicken? How did you know that?
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: I'm good.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Okay. All right. Yeah, I took the bun off, but
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: I ate the chicken.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: Attaboy.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Because the rest of the food was just gross. I mean,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: they had, oh, never mind. It's a free meal. I
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: should be thankful. I'm thankful for that. So there you go.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: All right, we got to take a break. We got
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: a long way to go. And I love it if you,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: in a short time, to talk. So join us anytime
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: you want to. This is Just the Cats. Wait till
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: you see that sunshine day.
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: You ain't seen nothing yet. The best is yet to come,
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: and babe, won't it be fine?
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: The best is yet to come, come the day of mine.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: I had a dream so big and loud I jumped
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: so high I touched the clouds.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: I stretched my hands out to the sky We danced.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: With monsters through the night I'm never gonna look back
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: I'm never gonna look back.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: So, you know, this is American Authors, right?
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: That's correct.
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: I just saw them not too long ago in Nashville. Really?
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: They're pretty good.
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: Did they play this one?
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: They sure.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Are you kidding? That's their only song? They got some
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: pretty good songs, but that's probably their most famous one.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: So when my son was a freshman at Pepperdine University,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: they had parents weekend like a month into school. And
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: we flew out there to go to freshman weekend. And
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Pepperdine had the American authors playing on campus, which was
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: really good. They were good. But they're a little older now.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: So this was at Vanderbilt. But we can go ahead
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: and get to. the text line. I don't mind. 502-414-1450.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: You want to text me on the Whiskey Thief text line.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: John here. Michael on Crosstalk. I was glad to hear
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: you had a great weekend. And I'm super excited for
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: our football cats. Unlike other teams, our schedule does not
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: do us any favors. But, hey, we will be ready
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: with Coach Time leading the way.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: Hey, Coach.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Go for two or go home. I see, John, I'm
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: right there with you. I mean, we'll talk about, I
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: want to get through the rest of the game first
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: before we talk about the two-point conversion, but believe me,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: we are going to talk about that two-point conversion. Just
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: absolutely amazing. One texter said, Michael, we have added a
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: new group of haters to BBN. We now have UofL, Tennessee, Arkansas,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: and LSU. Oh, my God. It is unbelievable to see
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: the amount of LSU fans that are just belligerent on
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: social media. Have you paid attention to it at all, Justin?
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: I haven't, but I wouldn't call all those other fan
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: bases haters.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Would you? UofL? Absolutely. Tennessee? Absolutely. Louisville, maybe. No, Tennessee, definitely.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Are you kidding? Why would you not? Tennessee has always,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: to me, been UK's biggest rival. It's not been UofL.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: You can say UofL all you want. It's Tennessee to me.
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: But this, I mean, the way this season has played
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: out so far, I don't know how there could be
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: any animosity from other fan bases.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: Because I look at it as a, like a, it's been.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Fun to watch. Like, I normally.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: Well, not so much anymore now that I do Kentucky radio,
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: but prior to doing Kentucky radio shows, I would have
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: been mad about you all losing, but I don't, or
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: about you all winning, but I don't know that this
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: season I would have been because it's been a lot
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: of fun. I mean, just seeing Will Stein come in
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: and year one and doing the things that he's done.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: It's been, it's been awesome to see from the outside
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: looking in.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: I see. I would agree with you wholeheartedly. If, if,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: When I look at social media, I see UofL fans,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Tennessee fans. You wouldn't believe the amount of Tennessee fans
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: that reached out to me and said, wow, we're rooting
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: for you, except when we play each other. I'm trying to...
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Alabama fans, Georgia fans, I think it's resonated not just
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: the conference, but it's resonated the entire country. When you
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: have a team that is so much of an underdog,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: had one of the toughest schedules in the country, and
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: come out and win with a first-time coach, people love
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: that story. And if you ask me, and I know
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: this is my bias, but I really believe wholeheartedly And sincerely,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: that UK football is the story of the year so far.
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: You can't tell me it's anybody else. I mean, we're
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: the only, UK is the only team in the country
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: that has beaten two top 10 teams. Nobody else has
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: done that. Georgia hadn't done that. Alabama hadn't done that. Well,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame didn't play any top 25 teams. They did
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: this week. Yeah, but is BYU really? I don't think so.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: But no, UK is the only team in the country
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: that has played and beaten two top 10 teams. Now, granted,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Texas A & M is not the team we thought,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: but at the time they were ranked number ninth in
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: the country. LSU, maybe they're not the top 10 team
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: we thought, but UK still beat them. So you got
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: to give UK credit for that. And again, I go
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: back to the point. I don't care what team is
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: playing today. In the SEC. But when you go to
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: another team's home stadium and beat them in the SEC,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: that's a feat. That is a big win. So, well,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: you saw Tennessee barely surviving at Arkansas. Jeez, Pete. Which
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: was a surprise. It's more like an embarrassment. But LSU
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: fans are going nuts that the officiating was suspect within
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: the game. I don't think so. I didn't think so either.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: I mean, it was a little suspect, but it wasn't
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: suspect on leaning one way or the other. I thought
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: there were bad calls both ways.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Typically, when there are bad calls, it goes against Kentucky.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's been our life and history in Kentucky football.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Bad calls have always gone the way of Kentucky. Yeah.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: And I really thought with the punt for a run
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: back for a touchdown, I really thought they're going to
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: call his foot out of bounds.
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: It didn't look like it on TV. I didn't think
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: so either. But, man, it was close. That was a
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: huge play.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: That was so huge.
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Exactly. The only part I don't like, I want the score,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: but the defense had to, it's like, oh, my gosh,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: don't they need a little rest? I was worried about that.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: So one person texted in saying the coach of Kentucky
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: is quickly changing and I'm here. I'm all here for it.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Cheeseburger Eddie. Oh, that's a great name.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: I love it.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Cheeseburger Eddie. Okay. Can you put on here, change his name,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: put his name up there where the number is? Because
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: he is now going to be.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: Was that 406?
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: Stop.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Is this somebody you know, by the way? No, but
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: I thought you were about to say the whole number.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: No.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: It's the Indiana area code. But yeah, Cheeseburger Eddie. I
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: like this. Cheeseburger Eddie, can you text back again and
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: explain to me why your name is Cheeseburger Eddie? Because
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: if you're going to tell me you have a restaurant,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: I'm coming over there today for lunch. Because I'm kind
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: of in the moods for a Cheeseburger Eddie. So there
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: you go. All right, it's saved. That is so hilarious.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Cheeseburger Eddie. I love nicknames that people give each other.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: One person said, let me get to the right one here. Okay.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Switch from sugar-free Red Bull to black cold brew this week.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: Ew.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow. As of now, I have the good jitters,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: but the... Oh my gosh, you really want me to
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: read this? Yeah, read it. But the toilet will be
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: hearing from me shortly, and it won't like what I
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: have to say. I'm more amped and scootsy, a non-Who's
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Your Fan, walking down the street, minding their own business.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Congrats on the win this weekend, Michael, and happy late birthday.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Florida State and the Bears are cheeks, and I will
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: hate sports for the rest of the week of it.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Happy Monday, everyone. That is the text of the day.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: It might be the text of the month right there.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Texter. That just put a big old smile
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: on my face right there. Never know what's coming from Illinois, Texter. No,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: you don't. I mean, that guy makes me laugh so much. Michael,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: I know why Lane Kiffin was allowed to come out
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: in the field. Haven't you seen the Dr. Pepper commercials?
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: I almost said Dr.
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: Pecker.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: My dad used to say that all the time. How
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: about him having no guts on the fourth and one
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: that could have sealed the game? Funny stuff. Here's a
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: question I have for everyone out there, and I'll get
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: back to the question I promised I would ask last time.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: But did Lane Kiffin get outcoached by Will Stein? Yes.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: In a huge way, didn't he?
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: In a huge.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, maybe not. It was just.
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: I don't know that you could say he was outcoached.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: It was just two different coaching styles. He was playing
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: more of the conservative play it safe style, whereas Stein
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: just gives no bleeps, and he's going to go for
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: it every time he can.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: All right, so it goes back to that question. I
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: think that's a perfect segue. Do you like the aggressiveness
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: of Will Stein?
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: I do. How can you not?
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: Not on every situation. I do think there were a
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: couple times where, especially that first time where he didn't
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: take the field goal and he went for it on, what,
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: fourth and two?
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: Fourth and one or whatever it was.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: UK could have won the game in regulation.
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: Well, especially if Zouagi's able to hit those two field goals. Oh,
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: that part too. No doubt you win that.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: That would have been three other field goals right there,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: nine points, and UK would have won by nine. Yeah.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Is that right?
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: No, no, no.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, six or nine, I forget which
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: it would have been. So it would have been enough
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: to win in regulation. Can I bring up one of
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: their fourth down plays? Yeah, definitely.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: So it was the, or maybe it might've been third down.
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: It was like third and 10 or third and 11.
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: It was when Barnes ran for 11 or 12 yards.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: Do you remember the defensive formation that LSU put out there?
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: No, I don't.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: They just had their four linemen stacked behind one another.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: And they all just, when the ball was snapped, they
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: all approached the line and went different. That was the
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: craziest defensive look that I think I've ever seen in
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: my entire life. And for all of the Kentucky linemen
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: to be able to pick up their man after all
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: that confusion and allow Barnes to run for that first down,
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: that to me was one of the plays of the game. Well,
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: did you like UK's version of the tush push? And,
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: of course, they lined up right there, and then they
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: scored the touchdown. But, oh, LSU got that late timeout call.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: And then UK was able to do it. Even LSU
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: knew it was coming, and they still couldn't stop it.
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: But they ran out to the left, right? Wasn't that?
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: No, no, no.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: This is where they ran straight up the middle. The
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: version of, what is it, Buffalo Bills or Eagles? Eagles, yeah. Yeah,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: that do the tush push. It was awesome. And the
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: UK did it twice in a row. and lsu could
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: not stop it and uh it had to have blown
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: uh kiffin's mind away that okay oops i might be
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: coaching somebody that that could outmatch me.
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: If kiffin wants to say oops he needs to look
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: no further than that overtime period You watched the tape
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: of Kentucky, South Carolina. We all know that Lane Kiffin
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: and his coaching staff watched that tape. Why in God's
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: green earth, when you score, would you not go for two,
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: you freaking moron?
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. It's like they weren't ready. What an absolute idiot. Yeah.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: That's where I think that Will Stein outcoached Lane Kiffin.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: I am firm about this. You'll never convince me any
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: other way.
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: I think Kiffin just beat himself by overthinking crap.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Well, I think he did think about over. He fully
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: admitted after the game, I overthought a couple of things.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: And he should have gone for it on the fourth
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: down in regulation and just let the clock run out.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: But he didn't.
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: That was the other part. That decision was extremely goofy.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. So now there was an article in the
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: USA Today this morning where Lane Kiffin not doing as
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: good as Chip Kelly. It's like, ooh.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Yikes.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: And I thought, man, that's really bad. So a lot
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: of questionable things going on. And now is the LSU
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: fan base happy that they got Lane Kiffin? And now
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: if the season doesn't turn out that great, do you
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: think Lane Kiffin, well, did I make a mistake coming
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: to LSU and maybe I should have stayed at Ole Miss?
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: It don't matter.
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: He'll just jump to another SEC team. I don't know.
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: When Mike Elko gets fired, you'll see Lane at Texas
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: A & M.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: But does Texas A & M really want him right now?
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: I don't. I still think he's a great coach. Don't
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: get me wrong. I think great's too strong. I don't.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: I still think he is a great coach mind. I'll
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: give him good coach. I won't say great. What do
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: you think Will Stein is? I think we're still figuring
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: that out. Really?
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know that it's fair to classify
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: him one way or the other after six games, but
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: what we've seen through six games has been really, really good. Now, eventually,
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: you're getting away with the aggressiveness. Now, does the pendulum
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: eventually swing back the other way? Time will tell.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, the missed field goals could have been the
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: demise of UK.
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: Absolutely. Well, and for him to trust Zouagi, to send
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: him back out there.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Well, exactly, yes.
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: That was like, because I'm sitting there on my recliner,
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: and he gives him that big hug after he misses
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: the second one, and doing the right thing for what
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: a coach should do.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. I didn't know that.
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: I really didn't think he would send him back out
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: for that last field goal. So credit to him for
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: having faith in Zalaga.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Well, see, I love he fully admitted what he said
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: after the game. He goes, I see you make him
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: every day at practice.
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: Just go out and make it. My roommate was so mad.
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: He was like, get the ball in the middle of
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: the field. This kicker cannot hit it from the hash marks.
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: And then, lo and behold, he ends up kicking and
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: hitting the last one from the hash. Did you think
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: UK would go for two?
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Yeah, you did? Yeah. So did I. That was
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: never a question. It's like, no way, no way. Yeah,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: he is. Of course he is. What am I thinking?
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: Now, can I tell you how superstitious I got in
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: that moment?
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Oh, really?
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: So, last week.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: Against South Carolina, when he called for two, he did
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: kind of like the Texas Longhorn sign, like go for two.
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: And then this week, he just threw up his first
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: two fingers. And I'm like, Coach, you've got to do
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: it the same way you did it last week.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: So I was.
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: Worried that they wouldn't be able to pick up that
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: two-point conversion just because of that. And I know that
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: seems like a small thing, but I watch those things.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Well, you heard Tom Leach say it at the beginning
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: of the show, at the end of the game Saturday night.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: That's the same play that very, very similar to Andre
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: Woodson did back against LSU in 2007 in regulation.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: And I thought, wow, that's pretty cool to have homage
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: to Andre Woodson. I love that Kenny Minchie's wearing the
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: same number as him. I mean, there's just too many circumstances. Like,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: they have to win this game.
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: I don't think there will be another two-point play. All
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: season long, that was as easy as that one.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: Oh, it was.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: I think you and I could have gotten a touchdown.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: It was so open, it's not even funny.
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: That has to go to the play design. I mean,
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: taking those three guys that were on the right side
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: of the formation and spreading them out wide, that caused
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: so much confusion for the defense. And then next thing
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: you know, yeah, Minchie's got a lane that a 700
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: pound dude could have ran.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Exactly. All right. Well, you know, and winning to watch
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: this team win, it just makes this so much more
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: fun to do a show on Monday morning. It just does.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: And I, I never, I got to eat a lot
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: of crow. I I'm telling you, I deserve, if you
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: want to make fun of me, cause I am the
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: guy right here, Michael Bennett. I'm looking right into the
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: straight into this YouTube camera right now. I'm the guy
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: that picked this team to win two games. And I
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: am so happy to say I am sorry to this
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: football team and to Will Stein. They're going to be
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: times three of that next week. Oh, well, I'm not
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: going that far yet.
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: I am.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, we got a lot more to talk about.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: We got to take a break. So, 502-384-1450. You want
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: to call 502-414-1450. You want to text me on the
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: Whiskey Thief text line. We'll get back to those texts
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: as well as soon as we get back. Man, we
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: got to go through a few of these stats because
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: there's some that really stuck out with me. Stay right there.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: We got a lot more Just the Cats coming right up.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Join us.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: I'm your fool Everyone's got the chains to break Holding
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: you Will you bother resist Or be abused Is someone
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: getting the best The best, the best, the best of
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: you Yeah, I want an appropriate song right.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Now when I'm getting ready to talk about this. CJ Baxter,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: you said not so much second half. I would maybe
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: agree with that somewhat, but still, 19 carries, 123 yards.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: The dude averaged six and a half yards a carry.
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, that's helped when you have a 77 yarder.
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: Kenny Menchie, 23 to 36 for 246.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Yards of passing. They played. Do you realize UK played
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: a clean game? Yeah, that's exact. No turnover.
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: Do you realize that's what I told you had to
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: happen on Thursday.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: To get the win? Believe me, I thought about that
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: all weekend long.
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: And you got your couple of turnovers from LSU, just
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: like I said you needed to have happen.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: I mean, that game, not to toot my own horn
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: too much, but outside of calling the win, I was
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: spot on.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Weather.
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: How the game had to play out. Yeah, you were.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm pretty good. All right. Let's talk about
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: defense though. Bo Barnes, the linebacker, 12 tackles, six solo,
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: two and a half for a loss. Grant Godfrey, linebacker,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: 10 tackles, six solo.
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: He's the one that wears the guardian cap.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: You are correct. LSU defensively had three tackles for loss. UK,
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: are you ready for this? UK had eight.
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: They put up a stat on the TV broadcast.
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: It was early in the second quarter about how Kentucky,
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: per average, a game this year is averaging four tackles
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: for loss.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: And at that point in the second quarter, they had
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: already had five.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: Are you kidding me?
• 37:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: Crazy.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, isn't it LSU supposed to be, like,
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: one of the top two or three defenses in the SEC?
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: And UK just ran all over him. UK offensively looked
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: so good. I was worried about linebackers, but... Because there
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: were a couple of, well, two or three that LSU
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: just moved down the field. We would have them backed
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: up because LSU would have a penalty, and it'd be second, third,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: and long or something like that. And LSU would get
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: a first down. It's like, oh, man, this is just
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: killing me right now.
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: I mean, the story of this game really is that simple.
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: LSU shot themselves in the foot. Kentucky didn't.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they did. LSU with the one turnover like you
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: just mentioned.
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: Two.
• 38:38
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: They had two in the fourth quarter, right?
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's right.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: That's right. Red zone. It's got to improve. UK was
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: four of seven in the red zone, along with third
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: down attempts. They were five of 14. That's much better
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: than they had done this year so far. Yeah, you're right,
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: but that still scares me. UK had three sacks for
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: a loss, 22 yards, and LSU only had one. That's
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: an offensive line working for you right there. I wouldn't
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: read too much into the red zone stats. Okay, good.
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: Just because this is a game that you won, and
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: at least two of those occasions were just you didn't
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: get any points because of the aggressiveness of Stiles. Which
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: at those points in the game, I was okay with
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: those decisions. Unfortunate to not get points there. But at
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: the end of the day, when you look back at
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: the scoreline and you see the Kentucky one, it doesn't
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: really matter.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah. One person tweeted me at Just the Cat Radio, said, Michael,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: what do you think of the host?
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: The host?
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: The game host.
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: What's her name?
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It's not necessary.
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: I've heard she's really good.
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: Really?
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: People seem to really like her.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: Really? Okay, good. Yeah. I'm glad. Okay. It's different. Just
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: got to tell you. We know how you feel. Yeah. Yeah.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: You're exactly right. And then another person asked me over
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: the weekend, what do you think of the pregame show?
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: Has it improved? Yeah. Okay. I'm sure they are nice people,
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: but just not fans of the host. I tried to
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: listen to the pregame show. I haven't listened to it
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: all year. I tried to listen to it. It's just.
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: Like the Tom Leach pregame show or the one that
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: comes on before?
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Not the KSR one. The one after that. And they
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: have a lady that's from JMI at work that does
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: that one with two players. Yeah. I just.
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: I don't guess I've heard that one.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: It's a dud. I mean, that's. My mom always said,
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: I think I'm saying it right now. I just wish
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: they could improve it. It's by far one of the. Okay.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: There you go. All right, how's that for an answer?
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: So sorry. Thanks for really taking my vibe away and
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: asking me a question like that.
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: Great job skating.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: I know, but I just, by the way, I did
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: see the tweets that people were putting out from the
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: television on the show after. Like they had a drone
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: that flew up to show the crowd. In the middle
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: of the field. Oh, but we couldn't do the drone show? No,
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: we couldn't do the drone show. And I get it.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was pretty windy. So they're going to
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: reschedule that for another date. But the one drone that
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: went up to show the crowd in the middle of
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: the field was probably the coolest thing I've ever seen.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: And you got the blue and white lights. I love
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: everything they've done there. I just... Can we... Get somebody
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: from UK. Get a former player to come be the
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: host because I think that would be– I thought Jaron
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: Lorenzen did a phenomenal job. I loved Jaron Lorenzen. Now, granted,
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: we can't get him, but isn't there another person we
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: can get out there and it's a former UK football player?
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It just seems like there's some really
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: good personalities out there. Marcus McClinton would be an incredible
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: pick if he could come back. But I think he's
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: still in the Navy right now. But I thought that view.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: What's that?
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: Very admirable.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly it is. I've had him on the show before,
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: but that was at the old show. I did love
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: the fact that Will Stein got emotional in his post game.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: And I will say this, the post game questions that
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: that lady asked Will Stein, I thought were really good questions.
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: Wow. Yep.
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: There you go. You're welcome.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: Okay. I'll compliment her. Holy moly. It's not, well, how
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: do you feel after this win coach? It's like, God,
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: do you have to, that is the dumbest question ever.
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: Don't ask that for what it's worth I think he
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: was way less emotional after this win than he was
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: South Carolina really yeah no I didn't I wasn't it
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: didn't seem like he was gonna cry oh I did
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: in this post I thought he was I thought he
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: was in the South Carolina one yeah very obviously about
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: to cry.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: You can now look back uh preseason when he said
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: because of me I think that comment is coming back
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: in a positive way.
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: They played that during the broadcast.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, they did? Really?
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: Freaking Adam Luckett just getting all this press time.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: Is he real? Good for Adam Luckett. Because it shows
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: him asking the question. Oh, it does?
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: Every time.
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: And you know what? It is coming across as confidence.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: It's not coming across as a cocky coach out there.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: It's all because of me. No, no, no, no. This
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: is coming across as confidence. somebody that believes in himself.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: And you know what? It has become not only contagious
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: to his coaching staff, to his players, and now a
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: fan base that desperately wants a winning football team. And
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: I can tell you right now, I guarantee you Mark
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: Pope is breathing a gigantic sigh of relief right now
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: because it's taken the pressure off him so far.
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but once the season starts, it'll be right back on.
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: Is that going to add it?
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it probably is. But because, you know, you're looking
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: at a coach that's doing so well in one sport. Well,
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: why aren't you? I don't know. Maybe that is a
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: good question. Maybe this is the year he does good
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: in his sport. Maybe so. Maybe it'll be a little
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: contagious to him.
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: How much time we got before we got to take
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: a break?
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: We have got a little over a minute.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: Okay. Let me get to a couple of texts before
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: we go. Oh, my goodness. I think this is the
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: first time this guy has ever texted this show, and
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: I appreciate you doing it. He does escape your head,
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: but no faster than any other part of your body.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: That's an old myth. Must be a doctor. I would
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: like to know where your facts are coming from, Texter.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: But I appreciate you texting in for the first time.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: First time Texter, but we're going to call you out. No,
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to call them out. No, I'm very appreciative.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: Show your research. Stop. I didn't say it obnoxiously like
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: you just did. I just show me the facts. I mean,
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: come on. No, I'm just kidding. I mean, just have
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: a little fun there. Why is Michael dressed like it's
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: winter and Justin like it's summer? That's what we do here, Michelle.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: That's what we do. Because I'm thin-skinned and I can't
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: take the cold. That's why, Michelle. You can't even see
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: my feet, Michelle. I'm rocking the flip-flops today, too. Are
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: you serious? I'm wearing boots over here. Boots, socks, long pants,
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: and I'm freezing. Anyway, all right. Yeah, you called me
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: out there. You know it's going to be 84 today, right?
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: Is it really?
• 45:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, maybe I'll put that off.
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: You're a little over-jurist.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not. It was chilly. When I left the
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: house this morning, it was 51 degrees. Give me a break.
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: I was cold. I want to be comfy and cozy.
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: Fair enough.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: Anyway, all right. Hey, Texter, I'm not making fun of you.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: I love the fact that you texted into the show.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: We'll get more to the text in a minute. Hour
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: two coming right up.
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: We'll be right back.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: Welcome to just the cats with michael bennett all right
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: our number two on this uh just absolute can i
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: just say glorious monday i mean anytime i hear somebody
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: say glorious i think of will stein because i tend
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: to think he uses that a little too much in
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: his uh shtick every now and then does he oh
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: yeah he's always saying glorious yeah i don't know i've
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: ever heard him oh really oh yeah yeah he says
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: that quite a bit but uh I did, I will
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: have to say this. Five-star recruit, Kellen Hall. You know
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: he's that Christian Academy player. We were talking about him
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: last week. And he was at the game over the weekend,
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: celebrating on the field. You saw him hanging out with
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: Will Stein before the game.
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: Wait, Christian Academy?
• 46:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: You're telling me they got him as a five-star, and
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: then they've got that, oh my gosh, why am I
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: blanking on his name? Jahide Brown as well?
• 46:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: Holy smokes. Yeah, except both of them were there. Well,
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: they're winning, Tate. Both of them were there at the game.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: And then they had somebody. No, I don't think Jahide was.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: Are you sure?
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: Rouse tweeted out that Jahide wasn't making the trip. I thought, okay,
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: I saw where he was there. Okay, well, I stand. Listen,
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: I believe Nick Roush more than I believe Michael Bennett.
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: So I thought he was, though. Okay, I won't say
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: any more about that.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: But Kellen Hall. I couldn't tell you outside of that.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: Kellen Hall was on the field throwing the L's down.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: Just letting you know, they had a video of it.
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: And I've seen the video.
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: I mean, kind of a, is it wrong if I
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: say that's kind of a loser thing to do?
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean.
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: I mean, if you're playing Louisville, I get it. I
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: understand it makes a lot more sense, but you just
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: beat LSU. Yeah. Unless it was the LSU L that
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: he was throwing down. Oh, maybe that was it. Because
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: they have a different L, don't they? Because doesn't LSU
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: do the L's up?
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, they just do the L. But it's just a
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: different L. Yeah. It's not the double finger one. It's
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: the single finger. Oh, that's what he was doing then. Okay.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: He was doing the single finger version of it. That
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: makes more sense. Okay. Well, you got to be careful there.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: Because I look at that and I think L, I
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: think U of L. Not the other LSU. But, all right,
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: let's talk about the two kids or students, whatever you
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: want to call them, flipping the bird to Lane Kiffin
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: as they're filming it, running behind Lane Kiffin. A lot
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: of people are talking about this. Have you seen that video?
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: I have not. Yeah. It was a dumb thing to do,
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: but they're kids. They're not talking about LSU senior linebacker
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: TJ Daughtery throwing a punch at a fan.
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: Wait, really?
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. They want to show the two kids from UK,
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: but they don't want to show Daughtery, the LSU defensive linebacker,
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: literally throwing a punch. And I'm like, okay, wait a minute. Yes,
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: the two kids doing the thing, running behind Lane Kiffin
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: was stupid. It was. It's a bad look on the UK.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: Stop doing that kind of crap. But throwing a punch
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: is completely different. And I want to know if the
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: SEC is going to do anything about it. I mean,
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: it's not like they were throwing a punch or doing
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: or anything else. They were just running behind him. Give
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: him the bird. Like, Stop doing that kind of crap.
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: That really is probably pretty annoying when you're on the
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: losing team and you've got all these fans around you.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: But still, that's... Act classy. Yeah, I mean... Act like
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: a winner, not like something stupid like that. Right. We
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: don't have anything against Lane Kiffin at UK. Why are
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: you doing that? Yeah, there's no need for that. It wasn't.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: But to throw a punch, that's different. And the kid
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: on LSU's football team, Daughtery, threw a punch at a fan.
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: Why are you saying that?
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: How do you say his name? Daughtery. Daughtery.
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: Daughtery?
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It's D-O-T-T-E-R-Y is how you spell it.
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: Oh, Daughtery.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: Daughtery.
• 50:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: Okay. Weird.
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: I was picturing Daughtery.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, it's D-O-T-T-E-R-Y. So I want to know why
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: more people aren't calling him out. They got the video
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: of it, so call him out.
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: Anyway, just thought I'd let you know. Being a sore loser. Yeah.
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: Well, listen, you got to keep yourself in check. When
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: you're a player, a coach, you just got to. Listen,
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I get why the SEC wants
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: these rules of celebrating and allowing the fans not on
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: the field, but I love it. And the fact that.
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: Was it worth $ 500, 000? Yeah, absolutely. It was worth every
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: penny of it. I've had so many people ask me
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: that same question right there. And I'm telling you right now,
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: for UK to be doing what they're doing right now,
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: let the fans celebrate. And yes, it was worth every penny.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: Every player got off the field safely. Nobody was hurt
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: other than one of our fans that got hit by LSU.
• 51:05
  Speaker 4: But come on, man. Let them have their fun. I
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: was sitting there after the post-game interview. I was trying
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: to keep an eye on the The sideline reporter? Because
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: I was like, how in the world is she going
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: to get out of this? How's she going to find
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: Will Stein? And she was able to find him. Will Stein,
• 51:23
  Speaker 4: at least, you know, he can ride the momentum through
• 51:25
  Speaker 4: the fans out of there. But I was, I was like,
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: how's she going to get out? Yes, she did.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: Well, clearly she did. Yeah.
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: Listen, it wasn't that hard. You could move around. Did
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: we have reports of couches burning and all that?
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: I missed all that. Oh, they were doing every bit
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: of it. And I was so thankful to see that
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: the police and the fire people were letting them have
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: their fun. Do it in a safe environment, but let
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: them have their fun. Just like with going on the field.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: Do you think it was worth $ 500, 000? If IU had
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: that kind of win, do you think it would be
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: worth $ 500, 000 to give to LSU? Yeah.
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: So do I.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: And the whole couch burning thing, absolutely let them burn
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: the couches as many as you want, as long as
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: they don't damage any cars, any other homes, or anything
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: like that. Let them have their fun.
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: Furniture stores are probably loving this.
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: I don't get it. My wife asked me last night.
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: Explain to me the whole couch thing. I said, Patricia,
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: they've just done it for years. I don't know how
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: it started. I don't at this point. I don't care.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: I think it's so much fun to see it when
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: these students, fans, whatever, want to go out and celebrate.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: And that's the way they celebrate. That's become a UK
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: tradition to burn couches. I don't think they're necessarily brand
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: new couches. I think they're from. Oh, no. Yeah.
• 52:43
  Speaker 4: They're not burning a brand new couch.
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: No.
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: But I'm just saying, furniture stores probably love it because
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: they got to go buy a new one.
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but are they really buying a new one? I
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: think they're going to a secondhand store and buying another one.
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: Because that one might get burned again.
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: You get my point.
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do.
• 52:57
  Speaker 4: They're supporting businesses to go buy a new couch. I
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: don't care if it's new or.
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: Uh, Jolie, who I dearly love. She's my favorite. Well,
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: one of my favorite texter. She said, Michael, you are
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: my new best friend or maybe your horses. Either way.
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: I won good money. Yeah. And had so much fun
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: watching the race. Best Thursday at work ever. Congratulations to
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: you and your crew. All right. It did pay out.
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: We got to talk about it for a minute. Okay.
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: Cause we, I didn't call in Friday. And, uh, so, uh,
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: Look at what happened to me last week. And I
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: guess I am going to brag a little bit, but
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: I've never had this kind of experience in my life
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: going through what I just went through on this past week.
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: I was excited. Listen, I swore up and down the
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: Yankees were going to beat the Rays last Wednesday night.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know who was more giddy about going to
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: that game. And after that game, my son or me,
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: but we got to go see the Yankees get swept
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: by my favorite Tampa Bay Rays. Thursday, I get up.
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: And we do the show together. And then I'm on
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: my way. I'm in a cab. I didn't trust myself
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: to take the subway. So I took a cab from
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: my son's apartment up to Penn Station. And my sister called.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, my gosh, are you okay? And
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: she goes, it's your birthday. And I'm like, holy crap,
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: I forgot. I'd forgotten totally it was my birthday. And
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: so she sings like one verse. She goes, I'm not
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: singing to you. I'm terrible. And I said, thank you.
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: And so I get out to the track, and our trainer,
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: Horacio DePaz, if you don't know who Horacio DePaz is,
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: go look him up. He's one of the hottest New
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: York trainers up there, and I love the guy. He
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: has become a near and dear friend. He fussed at me, though.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: He goes, Michael, if you would just stop the whole
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: radio thing and stop talking about your horse on the radio,
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: I would appreciate it. We could have had bigger odds
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: on your horse. It was 9-1. I know. He said
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: it should have been a lot more. And he was
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: quietly confident about this horse.
• 54:58
  Speaker 4: That's just being greedy, Horacio.
• 54:59
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 55:00
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 55:01
  Speaker 4: But it would have made you more money. I was
• 55:03
  Speaker 4: fine with what I made.
• 55:04
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 55:05
  Speaker 4: That was a great payback.
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: I had a number of buddies that put some money
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: down on the horse. And they asked me, Michael, how
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: much did you put down? I said, not a dime.
• 55:14
  Speaker 4: I mean, it paid almost $ 22 on a $ 2 win.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: I know. It's crazy. I had one friend that won
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: over $ 600. I had another buddy that won over $ 800.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: I had another buddy that won a couple thousand. Jeez.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: It's like, I'm not doing that. I'm just not going to,
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: because I'm going to get to a point where I'm
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: going to be down so much money, I'm not going
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: to be able to catch up. Yeah, I texted you
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: almost immediately. When's your next horse race? Well, that's happening soon, too.
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it was it was a lot of fun.
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: I asked her. So Manny Franco came up before the
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: race and he started talking to Horacio and he said, oh,
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: I want you to meet the owner. This is Michael Bennett.
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: And of course, I'm there meeting Manny Franco, the number
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: one jockey in the state of New York right now.
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: And so he's the Jose Ortiz up there or Brian Hernandez,
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: whoever you want to talk about. But it was pretty
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: cool to meet Manny Franco. And then they started talking
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: in Spanish. Manny walks away, and I'm like, okay, Horacio,
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: you really got me nervous. What were y'all saying? I said,
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: Horacio said, I told Manny, I said, I just want
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: a clean race, break good. He doesn't have to win.
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: And he started smiling at me. I said, why are
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: you smiling? He goes, because I loved Manny's response. He goes,
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: Manny said to me, I'm going to win this race.
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: I love the way you just told me to do
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: this because now I know I'm going to win. Heck yeah.
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, holy crap, are you kidding me? And
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: Horacio just smiled at me. And so we're standing there
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: and then, you know, the young lady that's in the
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: paddock from FX1 comes over and she starts talking to Horacio.
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: And she was looking at me, glancing over at me
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: every now and then. I was just smiling. And so...
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: They go on from there. We go out to watch
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: the race. And then I see him break really well.
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: He gets to the first turn. He's making his move.
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: And I kind of poked Mason. I said, Mason, watch this.
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: And I can't explain it, Justin. But I knew the
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: entire time, the day before, the day of. And I'm like, no,
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: you can't believe this. I had a weird confidence that
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: Hunting Goodwill was going to win. I just did. Because
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: it was your birthday. Well, that was part of it.
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: I had this eerie feeling that my mom and dad
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: were with me. Of course, my mom's been gone 25 years.
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: My dad's been gone now. That was the date he
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: passed away six years earlier. And I thought, this is crazy.
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: It's just a weird feeling I had the entire day.
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: And then here he comes and I'm yelling. Mason and
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: I are hugging and we go down there and I'm
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: waiting on my son. My other son, Max, is FaceTiming
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: me with his girlfriend and my wife is there in Louisville.
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: They're all screaming. And then all of a sudden I hear, Michael, Michael.
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: And he's like, get off your phone. Come over here.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: It was Horacio yelling at me. He goes, I want
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: you to take your horse. I'll get emotional about this.
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: He goes, I want you to walk your horse into
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: the winner's circle. And I'm like, who does that?
• 58:11
  Speaker 4: Although the other handler didn't trust you to do it.
• 58:14
  Speaker 3: No, he didn't.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: He didn't trust me at all. And Horacio started yelling
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: at him.
• 58:18
  Speaker 3: No, no, no.
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: Michael knows horses. He's been around horses all his life,
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: and he let him go. And it's just like I
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: couldn't believe Horacio told me to go walk.
• 58:27
  Speaker 4: The horse in the winner's circle. I was glad you
• 58:29
  Speaker 4: sent me that video. That was really cool. You telling
• 58:31
  Speaker 4: the guy, I got it.
• 58:33
  Speaker 3: I got it.
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 58:34
  Speaker 4: Like, it's not my first time around.
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: I know. I know. And Horacio's yelling, he's been around
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: horses his entire life. It's okay. And then, first of all,
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: I couldn't believe he was telling me to. And that's
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: when I knew Horacio was going to be my best friend.
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: And I walked him in. Manny's up there talking to me. Congratulations.
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: I'm really happy for you, Michael. And then we get there,
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: and there's the interview. I might have you play the interview.
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: And when we come back from break, I'll have you
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: play that. So pull it up.
• 59:03
  Speaker 4: Might be tough to find.
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: Really? Okay. I'll see. I think I could probably, if
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: I sent it to you, can you play it or no? Uh, yeah. Okay.
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: I think I can find it. Okay. All right then. Well,
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: I'll send it to you anyway, but, uh, Meg, uh,
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: I don't remember her name was, but, uh, Yeah, she
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: started saying birthday boy Michael Bennett. And it was a
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: funny interview. And I had fun with her. But we
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: might play that in a minute. So we'll see. Let's
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: get to a couple other texts before we have to
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: take another break. One person texted in, LSU was playing
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: not to lose and tight while UK played to win. See,
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: I agree with that. It felt like Lane Kiffin was
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: coaching that game not to lose or not to win.
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: And I feel that way as well. Michael's saying tush
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: push has to be a bit cringy, but if you
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: need help pushing that tush, call Game Day Mens. Thank you, Jamie.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that laugh right there. One person texted in,
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: watching Minchie on those final two-point conversions these last two
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: weeks was an absolute work of art. Again, South Carolina,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: he told Baxter exactly who to block, and you're exactly right, Dexter.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: He did. I mean, the clock is running down. I'm
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: getting really nervous in that South Carolina game, and he
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: confidently just reaches over to and points to C.J. Baxter.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: Watch that guy right there. He needed for the play
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: to develop and get that pass off to Willie. And
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: then he shifts the receivers out against LSU, parting the
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: Red Sea for him to walk into the end zone.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: Absolute masterclass from the future University of Kentucky Hall of Famer. See,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: I think you're exactly correct. When I see games like
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: that with Minchie doing that, Justin, I just got to
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: tell you right now, it makes me wonder. And I
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: know probably the Notre Dame is not too terribly worried about.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: But on the other hand, don't you think it just
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: takes one play to injure your football quarterback? And then
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden you see your backup is at
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: UK doing what he's doing at UK. They got to
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: be a little nervous about that. Because Minchie, I'm here
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: to tell you, when I met Minchie that day, media
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: day at UK, he could not have been any nicer.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: And to hear C.J. Baxter, to hear Kenny Minchie, to
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: hear Kenny Darby talking post-game, and they're giving so much
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: credit to a higher being out there. And I won't
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: get into the religious side of it, but it's just
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: like these players not only have been brought up by
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: great parents, but also they've been coached by great coaches.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: And to me, that has been the biggest difference with
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: this coaching staff. You can see they are well managed.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: They've been taught well by not just the coaching staff,
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: but obviously great parents. And I just, I really appreciate
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: and love that. So Josh texted in to be fair.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: When you lose weight, you get a lot colder. Oh,
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: is that it? Maybe it is. That's true. I used
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: to be able to wear shorts in the winter. Not me. Nowadays,
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: like these, I need heated seats and long johns, long underwear.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: Laugh out loud. I know what long johns are, okay?
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: I don't have to explain. He puts in there parentheses
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: long underwear like I didn't know what long johns were, okay? Yeah, man,
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: you're killing me, Josh. But I didn't realize that maybe
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: that is part of my problem is, I have what's
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: called a hypothyroid, which causes you to gain weight and
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: be cold all the time. And thank goodness I've got
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: that into regulation, but I still get cold, which really
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: just sucks. One person texted in, greatest thing I heard,
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: UK puts teams in a blender pre-snap. Stein and Sloan
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: are geniuses. Yeah, how about Sloan? How about that? That's
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: his former team out there. He had an advantage.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 3: He did?
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: See, I think so as well. But they did have
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: new coaching staff over there, so maybe, maybe not. He
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: knew the players, but he didn't know the calls. But
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: he still knows the players' tendencies. You're right.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 4: Things like that.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Jihad Brown wasn't at the UK game, as one
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: person says. He was handcuffed to a table at Jeff
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: Ruby's with Vince Merrow. Well done, Texter. He probably was,
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: and Vince was probably spoon-feeding him a steak. Oh my gosh,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: that's brilliant right there. Zach texted in, said, Facebook Marketplace
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: is a hell of a place to find a cheap couch, brother. Okay,
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: fair enough. So you think people were out there buying
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: cheap couches to just literally burn after the game?
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 4: No, I mean, they were burning theirs and then worrying
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 4: about the rest of it later. Okay, oh, I see
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 4: what you're saying. So they were burning theirs and just
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 4: go to Facebook Marketplace and get it afterwards. Uh, 48
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 4: Hanley said championships used to be the standard at Kentucky.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 4: Now we're storming the field and burning furniture to celebrate
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 4: a regular season. When UK couldn't find a better use
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 4: of $ 500, 000.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: Uh, okay. Well, somewhere today, people are eating out of
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: garbage can any underprivileged kids in Kentucky who could use
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: some scholarship money.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 4: Come on 48 Hanley. There's always money in the banana stand.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I know that's not a popular take, but
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: I'll leave the sucking up to others. So there you go.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: So I get it, 48 Handley, but I just think
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: this was a fan base that desperately needed something like this.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: We've not been great at basketball. We've not been great
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: at football. It's time to celebrate every now and then
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: and get this done. So listen, instead of giving, here's
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: what I would say to that then. Instead of giving
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: the money to 48 Handley, Have the money go to
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: charity here in Kentucky.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 4: To LSU.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: Or to LSU.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 4: No, I mean, instead of going to LSU.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Instead
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: of saying that, have the money go to charities throughout Kentucky. Or,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, if it's got to go to LSU. Have
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: LSU choose, though. Exactly.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 4: It shouldn't go to the school, but they should be
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 4: able to pick charities of their choice. They're choosing that
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 4: they want.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: It to go to. See, I like that even more.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: That's what they should be doing, and I wish they would.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: All right, we've got to take another break.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 3: 502-384-1450.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: You want to call 502-414. I'm out of text, so
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: if you want to send me some text, I'd greatly
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: appreciate it. And I appreciate all the ones you've sent me.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: Keep sending them to me. 502-414-1450. You can tweet me
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: at JustTheCatRadio. And I'll get your tweets on social media
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: or Twitter as well. So stay right there. Two more segments,
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: we get to talk about this. Stay right there. This
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: is Justin Gap.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: Try to be best, cause you're only a man, and
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 3: a man's got to learn to take it. Try to believe,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 3: though the going gets rough, that you've got a hand
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 3: tough to make it. History repeats itself, try and you succeed.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 3: Never doubt that you're the one, and you can have
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 3: your dream. Oh!
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: All right, 502-384-1450. You want to call 502-414-1450. You want
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: to text in on the Whiskey Thief text line. So
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: you got it queued up is what you told me
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: a couple minutes ago. So go ahead. All right, let
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: me set it up first. So this is post-race at Belmont.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: If you ever watch it, it's called America's Day at
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: the Races. New York does a great job. I'm hoping Kentucky,
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: Churchill Downs, and Keeneland get together and come up with
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: something eclectic. You can watch it every day they're racing
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: up there on FX2 or FX1. FS. FS. What did
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: I say?
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 4: FX.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: I thought it was FX.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 4: No, it's FS1 or FS2.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, it is? Okay, FS. Well, whichever one it is,
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: but it's still Fox Sports. That's right. I'm thinking FX.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: You're right. But anyway, so this was them post-race talking
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: to Meg. What's her name? Meg Burgess, I think it is,
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: talking to the trainer and then comes over and talks
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: to some other guy. But go ahead. Watch anything you want.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 3: Hunting Goodwill, ready to go on debut. Two-year-old Colt wins
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 3: at first asking. Let's head down to Megan in the
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 3: winner's circle.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 5: And we've got the whole crew. It's birthday boy over here,
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 5: Michael Bennett, by the way. We'll get to you in
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 5: a minute, but I've got to start with your trainer
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 5: over here, where he was, as they like to say,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 5: cautiously optimistic of this horse needing a start.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: But, yeah, he needed a start to get to the
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: winner's circle.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, no, I mean, he's been training really well. Once again,
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 6: he's been down at Laurel and training forwardly. Saw this
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 6: spot on the grass, thought I'd give it a shot there.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 6: He told me it was his birthday on the 8th,
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 6: and I looked at the condition book, and I was like, well,
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 6: that's perfect.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: It sets up perfect.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 5: Very happy owners here. Eric Long, of course, a part
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 5: of the partnership, but we've got it. We've got to
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 5: start with you though. Birthday boy. He said to me
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 5: in the paddock, you might need a race. And then
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 5: you're like giggling underneath because you know, you're about to
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 5: get a really sweet.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: Awesome gift in this one. Well, I'm really happy because
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: this is our first race with, uh, up in New
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: York and our first race racing in New York on
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: the Cinekill Stable. And so I'm really happy for all
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: our partners. And, you know, I came to town yesterday.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: We're big Rays fans. So Tampa Bay wins last night.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: And then we get the race win today. And my
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: birthday on top of it all.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 4: You're natural.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: You know that?
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 4: You want to just come do this every day? You're
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 4: pretty awesome to be around.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: The radio every day in louisville i was gonna say
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: you have the voice for it oh but tell me
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: i have the looks too like you because you're We're
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: having too much fun down.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 3: Here, Grisha.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: Well, listen to this part coming up.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 3: As it should be, though.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the best part.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 5: We're probably going to make some enemies if there are
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 5: Yankees fans in the vicinity.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: I like him even more. All of a sudden, I'm
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: going to be rooting for all of this guy's horses. Because,
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: first of all, for a guy.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 6: To come on TV in New York and be happy
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 6: about Taylor Bay, that takes some courage.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 4: So this guy, he's my new favorite owner.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: That's the best part right there. Because that guy's just
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: a crotchety old fart up there. He's always grouchy, but
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: he was happy about me, which made me even happier.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: But I got to tell you, that was a fun day.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, I couldn't sleep. And I finally fell asleep,
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: got up at 3 o'clock in the morning. I didn't
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: need to get up until like 6 or 7. And
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: then caught my flight and flew back to Louisville and
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: then started. from there went to uh keeneland and i'm
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: telling you justin by uh 6 6 30 i was
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: ready to go to bed oh i guarantee it yeah
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: it was just it was just a blast and and
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: uh have that young lady uh having some fun with
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: me and when she said you're a natural at this
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: and it's like okay well thanks you did.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 4: Miss an opportunity though to show shout out the show
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 4: oh you should i should have done that absolutely All right.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 4: I'm on the radio every day in Louisville, Just the Cats,
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 4: 8 to 10. You can find me there. I mean,
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 4: that would have flowed so easily.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: You think any New Yorker is going to tune in
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: to Just the Cats? Maybe. Maybe they think it's a
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: show about kitty cats. Oh, sure. That's what they're going
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: to be thinking. All right. Well, let's talk about some
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: of the other games that happened over the weekend. What
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: did you think about Oklahoma taking down Texas?
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 4: That was wild.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And now that makes me even more worried. You
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: could look at this game two ways. Of course, Kentucky
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: opens up as a six and a half point dog to. Oh,
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: my gosh. Again. Yeah.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 4: We're going to do this again. Yeah. Good grief.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: They're not going to learn. When will they learn?
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 4: Like Will Stein said in his postgame press conference, like,
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 4: Keep doing that. Keep picking against us. Keep putting us
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 4: as underdogs because that's adding fuel to the fire. So
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 4: I can't believe they did it again.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: Well, at this point, how many UK fans are headed
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: to Norman this weekend? I'm telling you right now, I
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: think there's going to be a tremendous amount of fans
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: going to this game because, number one, it's the first
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: time UK's ever played there. If I remember correctly, I
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: think it's the first time UK's ever played Oklahoma in Norman.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: So you got that going for you. I think Corey
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: P from TV is going. Oh, is he really? I
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: think so. My sister and brother-in-law are going. And it's like,
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: I'm not driving that far. First of all, the plane
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: tickets are way too expensive. And it's 11, I think
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: it's like 11 and a half hour drive. And I
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: just like, yeah, I just, I need to stay here.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 6: So.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not going I know I maybe regret
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: this but I was really surprised by the six and
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: a half points that they're giving Oklahoma.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah me too because it to me that game specifically
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 4: the Texas game yes that said more to me about
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 4: what Texas isn't versus what Oklahoma is I mean it's
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 4: an impressive win either way I'm not trying to take
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 4: that away from Oklahoma but But I think that was
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 4: a horrible version of Texas and an okay version of
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 4: Oklahoma that just took care of just Texas mistakes.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: Well, hopefully Oklahoma has a letdown.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 4: They certainly should.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: And then UK comes in here and sneaks it out
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: with a win. I don't care how much they win by,
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: just as long as they win. We'll talk about it
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: later on this week, probably not until Friday, what my
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: prediction is going to be. But am I nervous about
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: this game? Absolutely. I'm going to be nervous about every
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: single game. Why?
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: Because.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 4: You picked two wins on the season. You're already sitting
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 4: at five.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 4: You specifically, Michael, are playing with house money.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: You're exactly right. Why are you going to be nervous?
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 4: Everything from this point forward is like a hell yeah
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 4: moment for you.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: So do you think, clearly the team is confident. Clearly,
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: the coaching staff is confident. Do you think the fan
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: base is there yet? I mean, was this a fluke
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: win for UK again?
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 4: No, I think a majority of the fan base is
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 4: all on board with this team.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: You really think so? I do.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 4: And then when you look at the rest of the schedule,
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 4: I hate that we have to harp on it every week.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 4: But yeah, it's still really tough. But there's nothing on
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 4: the schedule from a Kentucky fan aspect that scares me.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 4: Not a single one.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: Lots of people are criticizing Manning, saying, why is he
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: so rated when he's clearly overrated? And they're saying, they're
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: pointing to the national media, they're sucking up to the
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: Manning boys. Do you think that's the case? I've always
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: said I think Manning's a bit on the overrated side,
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: if not completely overrated. Yeah, I mean, that's because of
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: the family name.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 4: I mean, when your last name is Manning. I love
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 4: the Mannings. I'm a big fan of Peyton and Eli. No,
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 4: I'm saying that's why he is rated where he is
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 4: because of his last name.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: So he is overrated, in other words.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 4: I think so, yeah. But, I mean, he also was
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 4: really good coming out of high school, too. But that's
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 4: high school.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. I understand. Michael, I'm on your side.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: Stop trying to be combative and argue.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 4: Me with this.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: But that's the fun part. That's why I do this
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: show is to be combative and argumentative. I'm on the
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: same side of you. Okay.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 4: Just the name Manning.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: That's all. Georgia beats Alabama.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 4: That game was fun.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: That's the only bad part about going to the games.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: I miss the games. And to me, this was one
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: of the better weekends with really good football. It was
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: an awesome football weekend. And so you got to see those.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: So what about the Alabama fans hitting the helmet of
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: one of the Georgia players? And a lot of people saying, well,
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: he said some inappropriate stuff. The guy should have been arrested.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: Now people, now Georgia fans are trying to call him out.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: Let's find this guy. Let's make him famous. I don't
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: like it when, now the guy was wrong, number one.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: He was wrong for hitting a player on the helmet.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: Doesn't matter if he had a helmet on or not.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: You don't, that's assault.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 4: That's assault, brother.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 4: I ain't doing it.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: And the guy should have never done it. Now, whether
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: or not he said derogative comments to him, I'm not
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: convinced of that. A lot of people are saying he
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: was saying one particular racist word. I didn't see that. So,
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: don't make it so negative. But he was wrong in
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: hitting the guy on the helmet.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 4: Just unfortunate you had to have something like that after
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 4: the game.
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: Because it really wasn't. Awesome, awesome game. It was a
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: great game, and Alabama's got to get over themselves. Guess what?
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: You're going to suffer losses now. You don't have Nick
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: Saban paying all these players like he was.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 4: I don't know that they're going to lose many more,
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 4: to be quite frank with you. I mean, Georgia, they're
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 4: the top of the top. Would you like to see
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 4: UK face Alabama again?
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: See, I would. Just to see. I think Alabama would
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: win again, because now you've got UK being listed in
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: the college football playoffs. Yeah, crazy.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 4: Crazy.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, with you saying crazy, it makes me feel
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: crazy that I'm even saying it. It's ridiculous that we're
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: even talking about UK being the college football playoffs. First
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: year with Will Stein.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 4: But, I mean, the good news about that is if
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 4: you keep stacking wins and you do make the playoffs,
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 4: who knows? Maybe you will get another crack at baseball.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: Well, they've got UK playing Alabama in the first playoff game.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 4: I wish they had. I don't know how it's all
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 4: going to shake out. ultimately at the end of the day.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 4: But if there is one thing I'm hoping, I hope
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 4: more than anything, Kentucky makes the playoffs and I want
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 4: an Indiana Kentucky matchup in the playoffs. Like I want air.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: What a way to raise that right there.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 4: Because honestly, beginning of the season, if you would have
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 4: told me Kentucky finds a way to make the playoffs,
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 4: they match up with Indiana. My mindset's going to be, oh,
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 4: Indiana wins that game 42-10.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely. In fact, I think you said that.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 4: Now, if they were to meet up, I have a
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 4: completely different mindset. I think it could be a lot
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 4: of fun.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, no, not could be. I think it would
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: be a lot of fun.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 4: Maybe.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: Tennessee survives at Arkansas 24-17. I mean, you're going to
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: have games like that. I still think Tennessee's a pretty
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: good team. Arkansas, though, is the worst team in the SEC. Yeah.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: I don't care where that game is.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 4: You can play that game on the surface of the moon.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 4: Tennessee should still win that game by 20-plus.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: The shocking one to me was South Carolina.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: Going to Gainesville of all places and just blowing out Florida.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 4: That just keeps happening to Kentucky, right? Yeah. Throw Texas
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 4: A & M out the window, but every other team
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 4: that they've played, they go on the next week and
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 4: do some crazy things. You're like, well, are they better
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 4: than we thought?
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, did that save Shane Beamer's job? See, I
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: tend to think a lot of the Gamecock fans are like, please,
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: we want to be done with Shane Beamer. Don't win
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: these games. And then they go down there and win.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 4: They were chanting Beamer ball at the end of the game.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 4: How do they go from booing their coach two weeks
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 4: ago to chanting Beamer Bowl?
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, in the fact that Will Stein really
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: liked Shane Beamer kind of sheds a little light. OK,
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: maybe he's not the goof that I want him to be.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: So and to see him interviewed after the game, he
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: had a smile on his face because he knew that
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: probably saved him. for another year yeah that was a
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: huge but uh wow does that make you.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 4: More comfortable for the florida game coming up maybe a
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 4: little bit uh i don't i don't know if they
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 4: stink or not.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: Two games straight by.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 4: 20 plus yeah they did i guess this one was
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 4: only 19 and this was but but this was at
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 4: florida that should i i was firmly on the gator
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 4: side here i just knew florida would probably blow out
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 4: South Carolina, and that would be the end of Shane Beamer.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: Same. Because I figured the football players were down and out,
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: but credit to the coaching staff there and Shane Beamer
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: mostly for bringing that team back, going to a very
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: tough environment, and beating Florida like they did. So credit
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: to them for doing that. But let's talk about North Carolina.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: That beat a team that took UK out of the
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: top 25, Pitt. It's like, are you kidding me? North Carolina?
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: Bill Belichick beats Pitt? Pitt did lose their quarterback last week. Oh,
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: so you're good.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 4: For what it's worth.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: Really? Okay. All right, then. We'll leave it at that.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: I still think Carolina stinks. Oh, I know I'm convinced
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: they stink. Absolutely. They stink. So, uh, but, but good
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: for them. So, all right, we got to take our
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: last break. Uh, when we come back, I'll get back
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: to more of your text. Uh, plus, uh, we got
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: to talk about, uh, is this the biggest story in
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: the country? UK football. That is. We'll talk about that. Uh,
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: as well as, uh, the, the whole dunking situation. I
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: don't know if you saw that video or not, but
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: that was another fun video of UK fans down on
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: the field. Stay right there. One more segment of Jessica

  Speaker 1: the day. I'll get your text in just a couple
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: of minutes. 502-414-1450 on the Whiskey Thief text line. Have
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: you seen the video? This is my favorite player in
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: the NFL, Mike Evans, who used to play for the Buccaneers.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, got a tutty yesterday.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: Exactly. So he's now on the 49ers. They were playing
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks yesterday. He grabbed one of the Seahawks
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: defensive players, Trevon Diggs. So he grabs him because Trevon
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: Diggs of the Seahawks was talking trash to him and
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: turns him around to see what his name is on
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: his jersey because he's not one of the most disrespectful
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: things I've ever seen. It was hilarious. Yeah. But to
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: see him turn around, see his name, and then walk
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: off was hilarious.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 4: That is good.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 4: I like Trayvon Diggs.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: Oh, do you really? I do. See, I like Mike Evans.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 4: Remember Diggs had the viral moment a couple years ago
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 4: where his son was in the crowd and his son
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 4: is just like, that's my daddy.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: That's my daddy. Oh, yeah, I do remember that. That
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: was cute. Yeah, that was nice.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 4: I like him a lot more.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: Do you? Yeah. There is now an Oregon account that's saying,
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: I miss Will Steins.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 4: I'm sure there's more than one.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: Oh, man.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah. By the way, Ryan Howard, congratulations to her.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 4: What'd she do?
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: Atlanta dreams her WNBA team is now in the WNBA finals. Yeah.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: She's averaging 19 points a game in the playoffs, four rebounds,
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: three assists, and two steals.
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 3: Good for her.
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: She's having a heck of a time. Exactly good for her.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: I'm really happy for her. She's one of my all-time
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: favorite basketball players at UK. Yeah. Uh, UK is back
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: into the, uh, ranks where they should have been the
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: entire time. But, uh, and you're right, Justin, at this point,
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: I just didn't care. Yeah. It's like you, you disrespected
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: UK last week. I didn't care if they were going
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: to be ranked or not. I, I, at that point,
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: I hope that they weren't going to be, but they
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: come in at 15 from not being ranked at all.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: And then going into 15, what do you think about that?
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: I think you probably should have been ranked last week.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 4: I mean, if you got this big of a jump
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 4: this week.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But, I mean, who knows?
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 4: Maybe if you're ranked last week, maybe the team's not
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 4: locked in and focused like they were on Saturday.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: What did you think? Did you see the video the
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: UK fans got? This is the part I don't understand
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: about LSU. You know, they've got that basketball goal over there.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: On their sidelines. So when there's a turnover, they create
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: a turnover. They go dunk a basketball into a basketball
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: goal at a football game on a football team.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 4: Wasn't much dunking.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: No, there wasn't at all. There wasn't a single one.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: So a UK fan after the game goes and grabs
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: a basketball, dunks it, and then takes the basketball. Hell yeah.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: I thought that was awesome. Why would you ever come
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: to the state of Kentucky and bring a basketball goal? Anyway,
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: but how many more times is UK going to use
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: the Power K now?
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 4: They're not, right?
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: Wasn't that just a one-time deal? I hope it's not
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: a one-time deal. They need to bring that back full-time.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 4: Weird take with the Power K. I didn't much care
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 4: for it on the helmet.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 4: Although it looked a lot better than it did on
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 4: the field.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 4: But the Power K... That was on their pants?
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: That looked great.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 4: I really liked that.
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: The Power K is what I grew up with. So,
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: I missed it. I loved it. And the way they
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: honored it, I want them to do it all the
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: time now. And you're right. It was on the pants.
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: I loved it. I'm not like you. I loved it
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: on the helmet. I think it was brilliant. I'm with you, though,
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: on the center of the field. But I understand why
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: they did that. They had to cover up the old
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: one out there and do that.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: If they could fix that and bring it back totally,
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: I'm all about it. All the gear that the coaches
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: wore I thought was really– I know the kids like
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: to say fire, so I'll say it. An old guy
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: saying fire. It was fire. I loved it.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 4: It's not cool if you say it like that.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, sorry. I'm just supposed to say fire? Fire. Okay.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: All right. My boys make fun of me because of
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: the way I say fire. But– The thing is, Scoots,
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: is that I only picked four wins, but now if
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: UK wins the next two games, they are probably going
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: to be ranked in the top 12 of the playoff rankings.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: So if you are this close to being there, you
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: have something to lose now. No, I agree with you, Will,
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: from South Central. Thank you, Will, from South Central.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 4: I was just saying for Michael Psyche, if he only
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 4: picked two games, he's kind of playing with house money
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 4: at this point.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 4: But the team very much not so.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: Now you're this close to actually really, really being in
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. It's like, okay. Could you imagine?
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: Could you imagine? No. And I still can't imagine. I
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: think I'm talking crazy talk when I say that. And
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about it because I don't
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: want to change it.
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 4: Even if you don't make it there this year, isn't
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 4: the future ridiculously bright? And aren't you going into next
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 4: season thinking, holy smokes, we could be a playoff. We
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 4: should be a playoff team.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Right. I'm just right there with you. Patrick
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: texted in, I ended up losing in my nine-ball singles
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: regional tournament yesterday. I'm so sorry to hear that, Patrick.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: I lost to the eventual winner in my last loser's
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: bracket match. So that's good. I mean, that's a compliment
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: to you that you lost to the winner.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 4: That's true. If you're going to lose, lose to the
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 4: guy who wins it all.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: Exactly. So I still have a shot at the national
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: tournament in Las Vegas for 2027. I can win another
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: singles board and qualify for it for the spring regional
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: in March. Well, best of luck to you, Patrick. I
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: hope you're able to do that. One texter said, let
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: me get to it. Good one, Scoots. I picked up
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: what you put down with the Admiral, even if it
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: flew over Michael's head. Well, you actually weren't doing that. Yeah,
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: so here's the deal. That's the funny part. This is
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: Jamie saying this.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 4: I told Michael during one of those breaks, because 48
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 4: Handley had reached out to me, and he was like,
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 4: I see what you did there, Admiral or whatever.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: That was not my intention.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 4: There's so many of you on the text line that
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 4: think there's all this hidden innuendo. There's not.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 4: There's not.
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: No, every now and then there's hidden innuendo.
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 4: That's hilarious that two people pointed that out.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 6: Exactly.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: Not just one, two people. Like Kid Rock said, it's
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: not cocky if you can back it up.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: See, and you're exactly right. And Kid Rock is right.
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: This is not cockiness. This is confidence. Okay, I was
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: being serious. What type of filling do you both like
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: when you were to be given donuts one day, say,
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: this week? Well, I'm cream-filled all the way.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 4: Is that what I like, too? I don't know. Like
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 4: the icing?
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the icing in the middle. Not custard. Custard is
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: what I do not like. It's pudding. And I don't
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: like pudding. But no, I'm a cream-filled, and if you
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: bring him, guess what? You have to agree to come
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: on the radio. So anybody that brings me something for free,
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: you're coming on the radio with me. Just saying. So
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: be prepared. One person said, UK should be in good shape.
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: Won't play a better quarterback than we already played. That
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: should stir up UofL fans.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 2: Ha!
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was funny. Well, it wasn't funny, but UofL
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: was down 14-0 Friday night to Florida State. Almost could
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 1: have been down 21-0. It's like, ooh, this is not
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: going to be pretty. But credit to them. They came
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: back and won that game against a terrible Florida State game,
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: but our team. So were you surprised by that? Not really.
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 4: No, I think that, I mean, now the final margin,
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 4: maybe I was a little surprised at, but I thought
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 4: that was a game they should win.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: Win. Zach said, congrats to you and your kitty kayats, Michael.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: I got to say with each and every passing week,
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: I get more and more worried about the game to
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: end the season. As you should be. Exactly. You should
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 1: be worried. because this game's going to be in Lexington.
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 1: I am now getting more and more confident about that game.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: As you should be. Yeah, yeah. And quite honestly, I'm
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: not worried about that game at all. I really predict
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: at this point, Will Stein's going to win that game
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: and UK's going to win that game.
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 4: I mean, it would just mean more to Will Stein.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Oh, it would mean a lot
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: to him. I mean, and the other part is, you know,
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: they talked about him coming to the last time UK
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: beat LSU. Or did you bring it up? And he
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 1: was there as a fan. Then he comes back as
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: a coach. That was the one question that lady asked.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know what her name is. And I thought,
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: that's a great question right there. They did show a
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 1: picture of him during the broadcast.
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 4: Oh, they did? Of him at that game.
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow.
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 4: With his long hair and his Hollister's hair.
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow. It was hilarious. Yeah, yeah. 48 Handley said,
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: IU is on the verge of setting the record for
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: most consecutive wins. The team who holds that record, Ohio State,
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: is their next opponent. I'm pumped.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: So that's the motivation right there for Ohio State.
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 4: 22 straight wins. Can you believe that? Is it really?
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine IU could potentially hold it for basketball
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: and football?
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 4: What do you mean? Longest wins? Yeah, longest win streak.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 4: Basketball team has it?
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 1: Don't they? They went undefeated. And then they only.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 4: Lost one game the year before.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: Maybe they did. I don't know. I thought they did.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: I could be wrong. You know how this show goes.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: One thing I was sad about over the weekend. Mike Ditka.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that was sad.
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, man. I loved Mike Ditka. Same. And because I
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: remember on Saturday Night Live, I remember him in that
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 1: soccer movie with Will Stein. Will Therrell. I mean, he just,
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 1: not only was he, clearly he was a great football player.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: I didn't see him play football. I saw him coach.
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, I remember him on that 1985 game. uh,
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: bears Superbowl, uh, win with the fridge, uh, Walter Payton.
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, just great, great players back then. And then
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: of course he was fun as an actor. I mean,
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: I thought he was hilarious. Whatever character he took up,
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: he was funny.
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 4: He was in one of my favorite movies ever kicking
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 4: and screaming.
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: That's the one I was talking about. That's with Will Ferrell,
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: the soccer movie. So yeah, you're right about that. So
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: I was just, I was saddened to see the, the, uh,
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: the death of him. And, uh, or him passing away,
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: and natural causes of what the reason was. But anyway,
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: I did think the funniest story of the weekend was
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: the Montreal Canadiens were playing Detroit Red Wings over the weekend.
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: And they have some kind of bit where they have
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 1: these inflatables. One is a hot dog, and the other
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: one's a hot dog bun. And the point of it is,
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: if they get the hot dog into the bun in
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: a certain time frame... the fan base gets free hot dogs. Well,
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: it didn't work out that way. The fan base decided
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: to throw the hot dog and the bun out into
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: the ice rink onto their own players. And I, the
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: players didn't like it. And I thought it was hilarious.
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: And Montreal has already said, yeah, we're not going to sure.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: We're not sure we're going to be doing this again.
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was really embarrassing. That was hilarious.
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 4: I don't remember who it was that did it in
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 4: the baseball season, but they did it ridiculously quick and
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 4: they won free hot dogs or whatever for everybody. And
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 4: it was awesome. The crowd went bananas. So when I
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 4: first saw this, this like happening at the hockey game,
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 4: I'm thinking, okay, well, they're going to get the hot
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 4: dog in the bun and everything's going to be all
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 4: fine and dandy.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: Right. And it went about as opposite of that as
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: it could.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: I hear you. One person said, Arch Manning has the pedigree, Michael.
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: It's just like a horse with a famous sire, kind
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: of like Northern Dancer. Ooh, good call right there. I
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: want Beamer at South Carolina, just like I wanted Cragthorpe
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: or Satterfield at Louisville. I would agree with that right there.
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: And then last one is, don't bring a basketball to
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: the UK and not expect it to get taken. That
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: was LSU trying to be disrespectful. Okay, Scoot, sorry. I
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: gave you props there. Upon further review, the call is overturned.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 1: As it should have been. As it should have been.
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: I got to tell you, today was a lot of fun.
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun. I was looking forward
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: to today. I knew I was going to be pumped
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: up about it. But, man, it was a lot of
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: fun today. So, we'll have more fun tomorrow getting ready
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: for Oklahoma. So, we'll switch the page and move on
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 1: to that. And we'll talk some baseball, too. So, everybody,
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: I appreciate all the texts. We'll see you tomorrow.
