  Speaker 2: that one of the things you like or dislike having done?
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I can honestly tell you that there are a number
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: of people out there that cannot stand getting their picture taken,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: and then there's a lot of people out there that
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: absolutely love and thrive when they get their picture taken.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: So I had to go to a party last night,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: a relatively big party here in Louisville. You got to go? No,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: I had to go? You? No, I had to go? Was?
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I reluctantly went? How's that is that? Better? No? You
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: got to go? Why did I get to go? That's
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: just should be your mindset. Okay, Well, I appreciate what
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: you're saying. I had to go, though, think of all
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: the people didn't get to go. I didn't want to
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: go again, you know, me with crowds, and this place
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: was over five hundred, probably close to six hundred people there, Jesus,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: and I didn't want to be there. I just I'm
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: in my mind. I'm thinking I want to get out
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: of here. My wife said, Michael, while you were here,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: I want to get some pictures of you with Tyler
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Robinson because he was showing off his art, and I
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: want to get some pictures of you and me. And
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, there's more pictures of other
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: people with me, and I'm like, I don't like this.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I don't want this. Please stop this. And the more
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: I said it, the matter she got at me. She goes,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: you better be smiling in these pictures. Do you remember
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: how upset I got with you when you were talking
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: about there is no professional sports in soccer? And I
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: mean she really, I mean in Louisville, and she really
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: got upset with me about that. She reminded me of
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: it yesterday and I said, yes, ma'am. I She goes,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: I am buying tickets for you, Matthew and Justin to
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: go to a soccer game. And I'm like crap man,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: of course am I. I'm like, I can't wait Patricia
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: and have cotton candy. So I, oh they do? They do?
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Now I am happy? Okay, I will be going to
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: that soccer game in hopes of getting my cotton candy fill.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: But I do you like? Going back to my main question,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: do you like getting your pick you're taking?
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, to a certain extent, yes, Now, if I'm in
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: a situation like you were, where it sounds like you
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: were just being requested to get picture after picture after
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: picture to keep your wife happy, yeah, that scenario can
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: get kind of annoying. But if it's just a few
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: here or there, yeah, I like having my picture, you do.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: I don't now I don't like it as much as
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: I used to do because I am about seventy five
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: pounds fatter than I used to be, right, I used
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: to like to look at myselves a lot more in pictures.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it's still fine. See I used to as
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: a little kid, I loved getting my picture taken, and
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: I would when my sister, who's ten years older than me,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: would go to school and I wouldn't in school yet,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: I would literally start crying that she was leaving me.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: And my mom would always say, Michael, I'm going to
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: get the camera out, let's take a picture. And you see,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: they have pictures of me with tears in my eyes
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: as I'm trying to smile for the camera. And then
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: what was so funny, They had to take my picture
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: so much that there would be no film in the camera,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: and so she would be taking my picture and my
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: mom knew there was no film in the camera. It's
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: like things a lot. Mom. That was just an evil
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: thing to do to me. But no, I don't like it.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: You know, my good friend Vince was there last night.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Vince Marrow, so the big dogs walking around. He settled
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: me down because he knew he goes you okay, I said,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I don't want to be around this crowd. He goes,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: just hang with me. So we walked around. You know
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: the best part was getting free food and drink. And
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: he loved this bartender last night that was giving him
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: the drink that he loved the most, which is vodka
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: and cranberry juice. That's that is his drink of choice.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: And he here's the funny part about Vince Marrol. He
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: can tell can you do this? He can tell with
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: cranberry juice. What brand it is? God, no, exactly. Now
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I can tell between soft drinks, but he can tell
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: this is brand A, this is brand B.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: You know, I might be able to do that with
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: orange juice, but I don't. I don't drink enough cranberry
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: to be able to know.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I love cranberry juice, but I can't tell between orange jue.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: I can't believe you do it with orange juice. I mean,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I don't. I'm not for sure that I could, but
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: I feel like I have a good shot. But I mean,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: you know, walking around and people are like, oh, coach,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: that's a big dog. You hearing it everywhere? And then
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: he'll goes, well, don't you know who this guy? And
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: he points to me, and the guy looks at me
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: and he goes, I know, I know, I know you.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: I just can't place you. You're a trainer, Like, yeah,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: that's me. I'm Todd Pletcher. I think the guy was
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: a little, a little on the tipsy side, but yeah,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Vins is funny about that. He'll point to me as
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: soon as they recognize him and want their picture, Well,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: don't you know who this guy is? And nine times
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: out of ten, these people have no idea who I am,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: which makes me smile. But then there's those couple of
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: that are out there, Yeah you're Michael Bennett. It's like,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: oh geez, so because then then I apologize. Yeah, I
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: listen to your show and I apologize immediately. Why do
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: you listen to this? I mean a guy last night
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: that yeah, I know you from KSR because I know
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: how much they make fun of you. It's like, oh,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: thanks a lot. I really appreciate that. That's that's that's
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Is that a compliment or really a knock? But uh, anyway,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: it was, it was it was unique. Was at the Olmstead. No, no,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: it's a big place over there at the it's not
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: the Knights of Columbus. It's the Masonic Hone. It's where
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: it is. It's a huge place over there off of
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Frankfurt Avenue. So right there in Saint Matthew's place school.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Have you never been there before? Now? Okay, all right,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: well that's where I was last night and kind of
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: looks like a church really a little bit. Okay, well
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: it's it is a pretty place. It's an old place.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: But the part I liked the most is looking at
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: the art. Uh that Tyler, because Tyler Robertson does mostly
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: equine art and that's what you know, that's my passion.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: So I I enjoyed looking at his pictures. I wish
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: I was artistic. I I try to be. It does relax.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: There's two things that relax me playing the piano, which
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: I'm terrible at, and painting, which I'm I'm okay at.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say I'm terrible. I'm okay, I'm horrible.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Are you really? Yeah? I love it.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: My dad is My dad does all these drawings for
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: like decks and houses and stuff, and they're so really
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: they're so good, and I should take some pictures of them.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Do you keep them? He keeps them. I'm sure that's
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: really cool and they're awesome. But I don't have a
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: single artistic bone. I mean, I'm lucky if I'm coloring
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: a picture to stay inside the line.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Well, clearly he's artistic because he builds decks. I mean
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: there is artistic sides to that. Sure, So I would
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: say just like construction workers, guys that build houses or buildings,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: they have artistic a mindset. They just do. They might
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: not like to admit that, but they do. I think
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: It's amazing what those guys, like, what your dad can do.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: I wish I could do stuff like that, but it
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: was it was okay last night. So uh but yeah,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: I just, you know what settled me downs hanging out
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: with Vince and that always makes me happy. It just,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: you know, just it still bugs me. He's somewhere else,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: but he's still my good friend. Did you have a
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: beverage of choice?
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: I did, and I had a little bit of bourbon,
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: just straight with a little sprite. Okay, yeah, go wrong
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: with a little bourbon sprite.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: That's called the Colonel. I didn't know had a name.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Well it doesn't, uh in my one of my closest
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: friend's households, because he is a formal colonel and that's
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: his drink of choice. Yeah, he was a Walter Hurd
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: is his name. He was a former colonel in the
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Special Uh. Forces. I mean he's you you know, the
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: definition of badass. It's it's it's lined with Walter Hurd's
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: face in his name. I mean, he is unfreaking, unfreaking believable.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: I just can't imagine some of the stuff he's done.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: But uh, anyway, uh so, yeah I did that. Now
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: the festivities getting ready to start. What are you looking
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: up already? Oh? It was just saying if Bourbon and
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Sprite had an actual name. But it's called the Colonel,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: it does. It's called the Colonel in your friend group. Yeah, no,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: just go ahead and call it the Colonel. Yeah, I
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: think it's I think it's a Chris. I didn't. I
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: didn't want to disrespect a name that was already out.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: That was the case. It doesn't matter if there's another
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: name for it. It is now called the Colonel, and
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: we're going to call it the Colonel. But because I
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: love that, I think it's a really cool I might
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: name a horse that one day, the Colonel. Michael.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: By the way, a little on air producing. What the
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: hell am I supposed to do with this song today?
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Nothing? I'm sorry. You just pick whatever song? Is horrible choice?
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Is it really you'd like it? It's a horrible choice,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: is it really? It's it's it's with a singer that
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: I'm not. I can't do anything with that today. Okay,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: it's Friday, all right. I thought you'd like that one.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: I love the song. I don't think I can make it.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: I picked Kenny Chesney, You and Tequila I thought that
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: was a great song. Okay, I'll pick something else. You
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: can pick the one I picked yesterday, cheap trick. Okay,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: all right, so I'll do that easy, A little switch there.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: But our listeners glad they're hatting this conversation right now.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: But are you excited about Kentucky Derby starting a festival
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: starting tomorrow? Yes?
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: And no, me and you and I have had conversations
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: off air. Derby's one of those things where it always
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: just feels like such a headache until Derby stuff starts
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: getting here, and then it gets fun and the weather
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: gets warm and you get all excited, and it's one
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: of those things that once you're actually in these couple
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: of weeks, I enjoy it, but man up until it starts,
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: I dread it. So I don't know. I kind of
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: go back and forth on that.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Is there one particular event that you enjoyed this outside
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: of the races? Thunder? It is really so you will
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: be attending tomorrow? Absolutely not. Have you seen the weather? Yes?
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Absolutely not? Yeah, yeah, I know. And poor one of
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: the local banks, Republic Bank, they're attis of the show
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: that they've invited my wife in Attica come down and
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: join them for thunder So, Okay, I don't think I.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Want to, I said the last I was talking about
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: it on my show, But I think the last either
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: two of the last three years or three of the
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: last four years. I've actually been golfing on thunder Day,
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: which is really really cool because we'll go somewhere close
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: to the river and you just have all these planes
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: flying over all. I love that while you're golfing. It's
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: been really really cool. So I'm kind of sad that
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: I won't be able to do that tomorrow with the
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: with the weather forecast, but it's still gonna be fun.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: I'll hear the booms from my house. Maybe I'll get
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: a couple planes fly over. It'll it'll be fine.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: That's my favorite part is the air show, for sure.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: I would have to say growing up, probably my favorite
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: was well clearly the parade and the boat race until
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: a good friend of mine in my adult age said, Michael,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: watching the boat races like watching paint dry. Oh it's horrible. Oh,
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: oh my god. The only way that would be fun
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: is if you were actually on the boat. Yeah. I
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: think that's what I've always wanted to do. Yeah, my
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: buddy Steve Morgilan, who was a former trainer out at
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Churchill Down's really successful trainer. He's the one that kind
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: of ruined it for me. It's like, come on, Steve,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: don't say that. Now. All I can think of every
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: boat race I think is Steve Morgulan, who unfortunately passed
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: away about ten years ago. And then uh uh paint dry.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: It's like I just killed it for me. But I
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: have always I don't know how the people do it.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: I think you can buy tickets, can't you to get
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: on the boat. I've never done it before, but I've
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: always wanted to get on there and just uh yeah,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: and and route the boat to win. And so I
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: think I've alway wouldn't even pay attention. I probably wouldn't.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: My my I me know, my ADHD would be out
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: there just like what do I do next? What do
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: I do next? But no, I I do enjoy. I've
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: never done the mini marathon? Have you ever considered it?
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: I got a cousin that's running the full really? Yeah,
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: she's a beast, is she really? And that's not the
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: assistant basketball coach, is it.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: The athletic trainer? Yeah?
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I heard yeah. Cool, she's running
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: the full marathon.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: He Casey. We're rooting Casey on then, and I hope
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: she wins because I did. I did a five k recently,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Did you really? I sure did down in Tampa. Did
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: you run? I I did the best I could. I
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: ran and walked and uh, but here's the cool part.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: The venue. The venue that you ran the five k
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: was at the Tampa International Airport. You ran actually on
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, the runway. Yeah, that was the coolest thing ever.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: I just here's my problem. I ended up taking a
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: lot more pictures and video of concentrating on doing the
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: five k. Yeah. In my age group though, I was
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: very proud of myself. I came in forty nine. Wow. Yeah,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: I was actually pretty solid at a fifty three, so
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: not bad. You got four of them. Hey, I finished,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: That's all that mattered. I know. There was this big
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: person coming up behind. I mean, I'm like, no, that's
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: not happened. I started running as fast as I could
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: to make sure the other person didn't.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: When I lived in Jacksonville, we did this five k
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: one year. It was I don't remember the name of it,
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: but you had to eat six donuts throughout the race.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: There was like checkpoints and it was a requirement that
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: you didn't get a medal unless you finished and you
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: had eaten six donuts.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: That's disgusting. It was horrible. Yeah, I'm not eating six
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: donuts horrible. Yeah. Yeah, So, I mean they were little,
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: but I get it. Well, they had a Chick fil
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: A after the run. I got my medal and it's
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: a really cool medal because it's got an airplane on
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: it and I think it said TPA on it, which
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: is Tampa or TP Well TPA is Tampa? Nope, Nope,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: just me and my oldest son Max.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: She would have probably gotten top five for her age group, right, oh, Patricia,
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: h oh.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: I've never met her, but she just strikes me as
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: someone who's a badass.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Patricia.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: If she like sets her mind to something, I feel
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: like she could be really good at her She.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: She's a very strong spirited young lady. So yeah, I'll
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: say that right now. Yeah, I mean I wear the
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: dress in the family. Okay, let's just be honest. So
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, if we're talking about cut off sleeves and
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: shirts going out in the golf course, that would be
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Michael Bennett and Patricia be in the collared shirt and
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: a nice pair of shorts. Okay, so there, that's how
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: we would dress on the golf course. Sorright. Big news
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: yesterday a lot of y'all know that Alex Wilkins and
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Sebastian Ransick were on campus. Of course, Wilkins is the
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: guard that came that's out of Furman, who average eighteen
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: points a game and just under four assists per game.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: And man, I'm gonna tell you, and then they're also
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: talking about another player, but we I'll get to them
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: and met here's what I feel like, if you can
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: get Zoom, which Zoom's already committed, if you can get Ransick,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: if you can get Wilkins, and then if you can
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: get one more player. And there's been a lot of
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: talk about this player power forward out of Syracuse, Donnie Freeman.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: I look at that justin and I'm like, that could
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: be the start of a solid team right there. I
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: you know, I had a good long conversation with most
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: optimistic fan out there, and I mean the most positive
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: fan out there. His name's j. D. Shelburn by the way,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: congratulations them. He's playing in Las Vegas all again, which
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: is rang cool, but JD was like, Michael, what do
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: you think of this team? And I said, here, it
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: is if they can get those guys plus Freeman. So
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about Sebastian Ransick, Alex Wilkins, and then Donnie Freeman.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: I feel really good about that. And then you got
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Zoom Diallo and I think think that is the start
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: of something good, even if they do not get Tyrone Stokes.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, and for all the freak out that was
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: going down earlier this week, I think we've really lost
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: sight of what you're having coming back, right, Like you
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: just want all these pieces to come in out of
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: the portal, but you do have some good pieces that
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: are gonna be back next year, whether it be Malachi moreno,
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: whether it be Cam Williams, Trenton Noah. I don't know
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: what he's gonna end up doing, but you would like
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: to think that he's gonna take a step up as well.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: So it's really it wasn't that diar of a situation
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: that we were making it out to be.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Earlier this week? Well, yes, and no, I think a
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: lot of it had to do with all the good
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: news that's happening over at U of L and that
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: freaked out a lot of fans. It's like, why haven't
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: we got anything? You know that. I think both sides
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: are warranted. One side's warranted and saying why haven't we
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: gotten anything yet? The others as well just wait and
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: be patient, and I think both sides you kind of
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: meet in the middle. That's where the fan base should
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: be a little concerned, but not overly concerned, but not
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: overly confident either. Let's just wait and see. But you know,
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: patience is not a virtue of the big Blue Nation.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: They want results and majority of the time, and I'm
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: guilty of this, you know me, they want results right now,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: and it's just gonna be interesting to see where it
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: all plays out. And that's why I say, just Michael, oh,
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: keep holding back because I don't want to get on
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: here and just rant rant. Nobody wants to listen to
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: a show where the guy just constantly complains. But I think,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: on the other hand, as we learned last year, nobody
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: wants to listen to a show that's just constantly like
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: we're going to be great, We're not going to be
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: or we are going to be There's a happy medium there,
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: and that's where I kind of want Land and I'm
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: going to listen. I am gonna wait and see, I
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: am gonna be confident and at the same time, So
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: that's kind of where Michael Bennett's mindset is right now
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: in UK basketball.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: That's the best way to be. I mean, there's no
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: need to freak out or get too high or too
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: low at this juncture. There's just there's not because at
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: the end of the day, no matter how many players
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: you get come in, no matter who comes in, no
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: matter what you think of them, we just don't know
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: how it's going to shake out until you see them
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: in action together on the floor well exactly.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: And we don't want to hear the mix about this
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: team's not getting along. There's things happening in the locker room.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: That's what I think Mark Pope's number one goal is,
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: all right, let's look at their Let's look at how
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: these people are. These players are going to react with
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: each other. Are they going to get along with each other?
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Because clearly last year's team did not get along at all,
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: And you can't necessarily blame all of that on Mark Pope.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: I think Mark Pope should take a lot of blame,
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: but not completely all of it. You got to have
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: some players that have responsibility too, and you got to
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: have some leaders on this team that step up, say dudes,
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: we got to get together otherwise this is not going
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: to be successful. Yep, I couldn't agree more. Okay, good well,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you're that way. So oh we gotta take
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: a break. Follow two three eight four fourteen fifty. If
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: you want to call in fablo two four one four

• 23:05
  Speaker 2: by my producer that I'm supposed to promote it. Michael,
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: when you go on YouTube, you've got to promote YouTube. Oytherwise,
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: nobody's going to watch it. So I'm not gonna sit
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: here and do it. Well, but you can tell me
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: to say it. I just didn't know we were supposed
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: to say, Hey, Michael, say that you're on YouTube. Just
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: just tell me. I don't you know this show is
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: so ridiculous. I do not care if you interrupt me. Michael,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: you've got to do something.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: But we're rarely on YouTube, so don't you true. That
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: means you come in and say, hey, see, by the way,
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: something special for you all on this from Okay.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: I like that. See you should take over when it
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: comes to these special announcement and you spread your arms
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: out like this and you say, hey, we got special news.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: We are on YouTube this morning. I think you should
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: be in charge of that. Okay, you're in charge of
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: spreading your arms and saying special news. I've got enough
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: enough response. All right. Well, see, I've got three cameras
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: in front of me, and I have no idea which
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: one I'm supposed to look at all of them? Really,
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: aren't they all right there in a cluster together? They
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: are all three staring at me. One looks like he's
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: trying to look away from me. You ever have those
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: people that you know you're having a conversation with it
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: it's only the two of you, and the other one
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: continues to look away. It's like, okay, are you interested
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: in talking to me? Or are you really no? I
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: look at people like yesterday I met a man that's
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: being recruited by one of the local schools for football,
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: and he the one thing I liked about eighteen year
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: old young man, huge guy, and he puts his hand
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: down and says, mister Bennett, very nice to meet you.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: First of all, he said, mister Bennett. He had a
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: firm handshake, and he looked at me right in the eye.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: That's the one thing I've always taught young people to
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: do that they don't do anymore. You shake a hand firm,
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: and you say nice to meet you, and you look
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: at them out of eye because the one minute that
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: you start drifting off, you know, you're not listening. They're
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: not listening to you. Sure, And that's that. That That
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: is one thing I've always taught because my dad taught
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: me that. But I don't know which camera to look at.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: So look at it, Okay, I'll be like this the
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: entire my head will be shaking like I've got Parkinson's.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: I mean it's I mean, come on, man, it's call
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: me Michael J. Fox.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: That's a bad joke, all right, one person text You
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: wouldn't let me talk about the reporter a joke like that.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: That's I think Michael J. Fox would think it was funny.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: But I yeah, there is a lot of drama going
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: right now in the NFL media or or professional sports media.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: I mean that that you know, you got that whole
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: thing with that young lady that was having the affair
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: with Mike Rabel. Of course she's lost her job now
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: at the Athletic. Do you think she deserved to lose
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: her job? Well, she didn't.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: She just stepped down right, Yes, she just lost her job.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna step away. And then yesterday I saw the
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: quote of her crying about or now I'm gonna have
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: to go work as a bartender, like so, oh my god.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: So we we all have to transition at certain stages
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: of life. So I correct, get ready, we all have
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: to transition. I transit transitioned.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: To a radio host. That's the weirdest move in the world.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: A guy that's never been on radio, never even considered
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: doing radio, is on the radio. That's what John's gonna do.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Our Texter.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: I was talking to him a little bit about that
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: last night. He said, really, he said, one day, when
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: he's done with everything he's trying to do now, he's
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: just gonna transition into radio.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: And I said, you should, Well, I mean make it.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Maybe he can take over from him.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: I told him to save up money because he's not
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: gonna make anyone he gets to. No, yeah, that's the
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: one thing. I lose money. So but uh, you know,
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: and I don't go out there and sell it enough.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: And if I did, I would, but uh anyway, one.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Person said, some of my favorite memories are waking up
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: early as a kid and going out to the balloon
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: race at the Fairgrounds. I remember setting up the X
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: target the pilots to throw their bags of grass seed
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: at over at Auburndale one year. That's pretty cool. What
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: about grass grass? That's what they throw a bag of
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: grass seeds, not pot. They're not throwing pot out the bottle.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: I got what you're saying. Yeah, why, that's what it's
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: always been. It's just been a big bag. Well, I
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: guess because this is a bluegrass state. Even though you
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: did nots it's a bluegrass state. They take bags of
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: blue grass seeds and throw it over and that's how
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: you win. Whoever's closest to the x mark wins the race.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Didn't know that. You did not know that? Really, how
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: did you think there's a gigantic finish line? No, No,
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: that's not what they do. One person, Michael, sounds like
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: he's five years old at Olin Mills being yelled at
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: by his mother not to dare ruin the photos. Yeah.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: I ruined so many photos for my mom, And you know,
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: I look at some of the photos. I'm like, I
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: remember that day and I was so I was so
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: rude to my mom. I was all right, easy to
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: do when you're a kid. Well yeah, but I was
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: a little difficult. Okay, So I was one year I
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: painted my fingernails, like when I was in nine or
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: ten years old. I never wore high heels, I never
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: painted my nails. Well, it was ink. I took my
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: ink pen and painted my fingernails, and I didn't realize
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: I was getting my picture that day. So you see
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: a picture of me covering my fingernails, and that's all
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: you can focus on. One year in college, my mom
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: wanted a picture of me, mom and dad, even though
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: my brother and sister were already gone and married. You
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: want a picture of all three of us, And I
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: was just being a jerk. I don't know why I
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: was like that. Scoots, I'll let you take my spot
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: for thunder. I'm sure you'll see lots of fireworks. Just
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: remember to tell people to turn left at the next
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: single and they'll do just fine. That's from policeman Jamie.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: I like that. I'm good, Jamie. That is perfect right there. No,
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: I can tell you that is the one thing. That's
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: the one night well, and probably a thunder over Louisville
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: and Kentucky Oaks and Derby night. I would not want
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: to be out there directing traffic. No, because people, you
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: know they're going to get so mad and frustrated and
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: it's a nightmare. Yeah, when that's all over and people
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: are going, golly, it sucks. I think Thunder as far
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: as traffic, is ten times worse than Kentucky Derby. I'm
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: home from Churchill Downs within twenty five minutes. I think
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: they do a phenomenal job of getting traffic out of there. Now.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: I mean with Derby, I feel like you have a
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: lot of people leaving it different times throughout the night.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: Where well, I mean with the race changes. We'll see
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: how that ends up working out. But with Thunder, it's
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: literally just everybody leaving it once as soon as that
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: last firework goes off.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go in the car. That sucks, But
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: you're right, it is worse. Wow, Josh text it out.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: I like Vince a little more now. Cranberry and vodka
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: is a great drink. I'm glad you do, Josh. I
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: can do with al vodka. Really, yeah, I'm not a
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: My dad drank it straight. All he would put in
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: is three olives and drink it straight. He goes, you
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: want to taste it, and I'm like, yeah, sure, I'll
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: take it, and it just it tasted like perfume.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: It's disgusting. I don't know how people. I just I
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: drank so much of it in college. I don't think
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: I can ever drink it again.
• 30:29

• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Saturay Night Live bit where uh, it's the contestants are
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: meet your second wife and it's like a twenty four
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: year old girl, or it's a a fifteen year old girl,
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: or at a six year old girl. Oh it was hilarious. Yeah, no,
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: never seen. It was pretty funny, but concept sounds weird
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: as that. Yeah, forty it was weird, but it was
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: weird funny. I like weird funny. Forty eight any said,
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: I remember when the pegasts parayed was the only pre
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: Derby event. A lot of famous people were Grand Marshall
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: believe John Wayne Wayne was once. That's pretty cool. I
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: didn't know that. Who's the most famous person that's been
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: to the Kentucky Derby that you can remember? Tom Brady really?
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: And he comes pretty much on a regular basis every year,
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: doesn't he. I think so, Tom Brady. I always thought
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: it was cool. Let's see, Um, I'm sure Michael Jordan's
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: been before. Oh, he used to play out at Harmony
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Landing Country Club which is now Big Springs exactly. And
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: don't you know that Justin Thomas used to caddy for them? Really?
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Do you not know this story? Oh, this is a
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: cool story. I'll tell you what so well, Mike Thomas
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: told me the story. He said that Justin was caddying
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: for him, not knowing just They only knew Justin from
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: his dad. You know, Justin was probably twelve thirteen years old.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: So Justin's out there Caddy and all of a sudden,
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: because they're gambling, it's it's Barkley, Michael Jordan, I don't
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: remember who else was out there, probably other basketball players,
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: and Michael Jordan says, I'll bet you Mike Caddy can
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: make this shot, and all of a sudden they say, ooh,
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: Justin's got a nice swing, and they won the whole
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: So from then on out, they let Justin play out
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: the eighteen with Michael Jordan to play against Charles Barklay
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: and another person. They won the match, and I think,
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: if I remember correctly, Justin won on his portion was
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: like five thousand dollars to a twelve year old kid.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: And then from then on out, Michael Jordan always wanted
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: Justin to play with them. So what if JT lost?
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Was Mike gonna cover that? I don't know. I don't know,
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: but it was funny because Mike Thomas says, yeah, I
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: took one hundred that dollars, let Justin have it. The
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: rest of it went immediately in the bank. He goes,
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: I'm not letting that kid spend any money. It was awesome.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, they they became friends after that. I
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: always loved that song. No wonder he's such a big
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: gambler now then Justin is Oh god, yeah, I didn't
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: know that, oh him? And when they what's that Full Swing?
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: You ever watched The Full Swing on Netflix, the show
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: about the golfers? I did, Yeah, I mean there was
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: one of the episodes him and jordan' speith were on
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: the plane betting like one thousand dollars a hand and
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: playing cards.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Are you serious? Oh my gosh, yeah, I can't do
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. I just I can't gamble like that.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: Oh if I was stupid rich I could. John here, Hey, Michael,
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: at least you are not last on that run. Here
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: is our next And I wasn't. I wasn't last on
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: that run. I bet you I beat out of a
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: couple thousand people. I beat probably a couple hundred people. Hey, yeah, listen,
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: and the rest were eighty four. Just no, they weren't.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: But I listen. It had been a while since I'd
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: done something like that. I was proud of myself. I
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: completed it. That's all I do. Here is our next
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: four players. Coach Pope will get Donnie Freeman, Alex Wilkins,
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Sebastian Ransick. Nice start right there, and he's declaring John
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: that we will get Tyrone Stokes plus zoom and of
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: course others coming back. I I still do have a
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: question mark for Braiden Hawthorne. No, I think Braiden Hawthorne's
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: coming back and how good he will be. I get that.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: I think he has a lot of upside. I feel
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: like we got to mention him. You're right, we do
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: have to mention it. We definitely forget to mention him. Yeah,
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: you're right, but it's because we haven't seen him play
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: since he didn't play any last year, and I'm glad
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: they continue to red shirt him. I just wish basketball,
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: and we'll talk about a new rule change in just
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: a little bit, but I just wish basketball would implement
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: the same rule that football has. You're allowed to play
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: so much until you have to declare red shirt, and
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: they should do that in basketball. Why they don't do
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: it in basketball makes no sense to me. They should
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: be allowed to play so many games and then you
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: got to sit out the rest of season. So if
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: it's getting towards the end of the season, man, that
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: would have freed up Hawthorne last year. For Kentucky I
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: think would have helped.
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: Well, there's a lot of people saying that you didn't
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: put him out there for a reason because you didn't
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: want teams to have any tape on him coming into
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: this year.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: That's fair as well. So and that goes back to
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: the we got to figure something out. You commit, just
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: like in baseball when you come to Kentucky, you commit
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: for three years or you got to play three years.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, you got to do something to where these
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: players at least stay two years at one school. If
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: you transfer, you got to sit out a year. It
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: happens at some places. I mean if I was looking
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: at the transfers in and out for all the Big
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: ten schools yesterday, Yeah, Purdue in Michigan State don't have
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: They didn't haven't brought in a single player yet, and
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: they haven't had a single player leave yet. No, they
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: don't need Yeah that is crazy, So they don't need anybody.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: I wasn't it Duke. That was a part of that
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: Oh No, Duke got a bunch of guys transfer out
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: because Indiana got one. Oh they okay, never mind, Then Florida,
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: did Florida lose anybody Florida's a good call. I haven't
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: heard anything about Boogie. I know Alex Condon's coming back.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they just but he wasn't going to see the
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: floor anyway. Yeah. One person texted, shooter, shooter, shooters, we
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: need shooters, man, you're right, And of course I talked
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: about that yesterday. That's a little bit of the concern
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: on zoom and maybe a knock on zoom diallo. Uh,
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: he's not a great shooter from beyond the arc, but
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: I'm hoping that. I'm still telling you Cam Williams, he's
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: our shooter. He's going to be Colin Chandler on steroids.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm going to predict. I thought that would
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: have happened last year, and then the injury happened. Steroids
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: are illegal. Oh, come on, we gotta take another break.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: I can't end on that. Right there, we're on YouTube.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: You can see my frustration in my face. Okay, this
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: idiot over here, they're illegal. We'll be right back. This
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: is just a Catz downer. I love the beginning of
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: that song. Right there's sappy. Toto makes me happy. So
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: uh fable two three eight four fourteen fifty You want
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: to call in fable two four one four fourteen fifty.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: I'll get back to your whiskey deep texts in just
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: a little bit, but if you want to join us,
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: we're on YouTube. I don't know if anybody's watching it.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: Can you tell if anybody's actually watching on YouTube?
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: We got one currently, but we've had eight, yes, eight
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: this morning. Yeah, one person is watching it.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know. Maybe we'll Why would you say,
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: must be a woman. Why would you ever say something
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: because we're so good looking? Oh my gosh, man, no
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: I am. I am not a good looking guy. So
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: how with that attitude? No? Exactly a negative Nancy over here.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: But no, maybe we'll do this more consistently since I'm
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: gonna be here for a while and so yeah, maybe
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: the summertime we'll do the YouTube stuff. So anyway, UK
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: and will Stein are on a real recruiting heater right now.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: I mean they're they're on a roll. Yesterday they flipped
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: to commit that was actually already committed to Auburn. He's
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: out of South Florida. Tight end Trey Proctor six foot
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: four and a half. I love how they put the
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: half in there. Two hundred and thirteen pounds three star
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: richly committed to Auburn back in January. Where I mean,
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: UK has made an been very committed to make a
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: strong effort in recruiting down in Florida, and that's one
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: of the things that will Stein has said. Listen, we
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: are going to Florida to bring players to Kentucky and
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: have them come up here. Now, I don't know if
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: you've if you know this or not, but Trey Proctor
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: actually has I think a phenomenal nickname and I love it.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: Have you heard what his nickname is? You have not?
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: Have not Tank? He goes by Tank Proctor. I love it.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, if that's not a football name, I don't
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: know what a football name is. I love it Tank Proctor.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: I can see the T shirts. I mean, that guy
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: should easily if he has any success at UK, which
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: I predict he will, because they say one of the
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: greatest aspects of him, even though he's a really big dude,
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: he has soft hands. And I'm not talking about moisturizer.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about catching the ball. And you know that's
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: a real compliment in football when you have soft hands.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: And that's one of his biggest attributes right there is
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: that he has soft hands as big as the guys
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: he is, because you know, normally in big players, they
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: don't have that kind of hands. So if he can
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: follow the career path to Tank Bigsby, he'll be all right.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: That's right, Tank.
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to think what are other great nicknames? And
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: you just picked one right out of the hat. You
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: also got Tank Davis bok Yah, yeah, Tank Davis, any
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: other famous Tanks?
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: It's the only Tank I can think of. Yeah, what
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: are other famous athletes with great nicknames? Zoom? Yeah? Okay,
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: fair enough. We talked about Zoom yesterday. Zoom's a great
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: basketball name. Tank is a great football name. I'm trying too,
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: is a great basketball name. There was a kid that
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: I called games for this season here in Louisville. What
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: was his Gunner? His name was Gunner. If that's not
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: the best name for a basketball player, I don't know
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: what is. Well, didn't UK have a quarterback named Gunner? No?
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: Georgia did, though, Gunner Stockton. Maybe that's who I'm thinking
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: of as Gunner Stockton. Yeah? So, uh? Tank? Now is
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: the ninth player in the class of twenty seven to
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: commit to UK, And are you ready for this UK
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: is now ranked seventeenth in the country with their twenty
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: seven recruiting weren't they thirteenth, Yes, eleventh, eleventh, But say
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: they went down Yeah, no, kid, I know they did
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: eleventh in the eleventh in the country. But here's the problem.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: There's seventh in the SEC. It's brutal. It is brutal,
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: But I mean eleventh in the country when it comes
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: to football. I mean I I was hopeful that will
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: Stein was going to do it for a really good job.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: I think he's just knocking it out of the park
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: right now. Yeah. I like to use a baseball term
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: when I'm talking about football, but I just that's a
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: pro move, is it, really? Yeah, use another sports analogy
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: when you're talking about certain sports. Oh good, I did
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: something right.
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: That's like when you're watching like a basketball game and
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: it's seven to nothing. Oh they laid by touchdown. Yeah,
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: that's just a good thing to do.
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh. Now, let's talk about this whole thing that's
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: going on with uh the young lady what's what's what's
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: the lady's name that was doing this whole thing with
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: Mike rabel h Diana Diana Rossini. Yes, uh, in course,
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: she resigned. Now, granted, I know she you said she resigned,
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: but she was asked to resign. I happen to believe
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: she was asked. Now. I don't know this for certain,
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: but I have to believe she was asked to resign.
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you've seen this or not, but
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: now there is a reporter out there, another one named
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: Chrissy Freud. Have you seen this. Yeah, Chrissy Freud is
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: literally going after Russini and it's it's really crazy how
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: this lady's going out all. Here's what she said. Now
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: she is forced to lose her job, all of us do.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: Let me get to it. But she has gone, I'm
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: sure you were told to submit this or that you'd
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: get fired and said don't let the door hit you
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: on the way out. This is what Freud tweeted about
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: Russini's resignation letter. H we know who you really are
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: and what you've been up to for years. It does
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: so much detribute to women in sports who have done
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: things the right way. Wow, seems like they've maybe cross
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: paths in the past. Well, and she mentions that she goes,
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: we know you've had fights at Chili's in the parking lot. Hey,
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking he hasn't. Well, Will Ferrell's dad did in
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: Talladega Knights. So but they got kicked out of Chili's too.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: But it made me think that Christy Freud has been
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: in a parking lot fight at Chili's with Diana rus
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: So proceed Russini, whatever her name is. So I'm thinking
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: there's a lot. I'm now really enjoying this story, cause
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: when you get drama in the media, nothing makes me
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: smile bigger. I agree, and to see this Chrissy Freud. Now,
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: do you think Chrissy Freud should have lost her job
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: with the comments that she put up on Twitter? I
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: mean probably so, especially if that goes against the company's
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: Polly this policy that she was working for. But isn't
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: this America right? Can't Don't we all have the freedom
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: of speech and should be able to say whatever we want. Yeah,
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: that's that's what I thought. I mean, she's claiming that
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: she's hooking up with married NFL coaches, I mean, she's
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: hooking up with players. I mean she had all kinds
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: of I mean, she just vented and I thought, wow.
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: But to me, I don't think that's a fireable offense.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: She clearly she's up with what Racini's done, which I
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: can understand that for and what she's saying for other women.
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, it does put a damper, a bad look
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: on that. Yeah, But I mean, do you think the
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: Patriots are going to go after Mike Rabel? They're not, no,
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: because I mean, it doesn't affect anything on the field,
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: but it ruins Russini's integrity. I mean, nobody's really gonna
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: listen to her after they know she's been sleeping with
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: the head.
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: It's not a bad or it's not a good look
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: for either of them with them being married. But at
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: the end of the day, we're all human and we
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: all have our flaws, no matter what they are, and
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: apparently that's their flaws.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a bad flaw. But I do think
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: that Russini should have lost her job. Rabel should be
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: reprimanded somehow, some way, because there's got to be an
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: integrity integrity claw clause within his contract with you, if
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: not with the Patriots, but at least within the NFL.
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: I think there are integrity clauses. I mean, you know,
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: you and I talked about it earlier. There was some
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: for NBA coaches, but I think something has to happen.
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: So anyway, we'll take a break. Hour two coming up.
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: We got a lot to talk about there, so don't
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: go anywhere more. Just the Cats on YouTube, stay right.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: There, Welcome to Just the Cats with Michael Bennett.
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: All right, our number two on this Friday, which I'm
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to because it's a it's a big weekend.
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: The closer that we get to uh you know Derby time.
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, it all starts tomorrow, which is amazing to me.
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: I just can't believe here we are, uh Kentucky Derby one.
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: It's one fifty two this year. Yeah, one fifty So
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen the logo yet. I haven't seen the
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: logo either. And you know, a week from Monday, we're
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: gonna be out of Churchill Down's backside. So uh, for
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: all those people watching on YouTube, thank you very much.
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: Come join us on YouTube right now because we're gonna
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: be live. We'll do this next week. Now. We can't
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: do it at Churchill Downs, can we. Well that's ridiculous.
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: No, we certainly can't. Well why can't we do it
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: because the cameras are here? Yeah, but let's take the
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: cameras with us.
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, we could just do audio from that's no fun.
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: I think that we need to figure a way to
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: take the cameras. Whichever one of these three that are
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: in front of me should go out to Churchill Downs
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: and they can see who we're talking too.
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: With all due respect, I have enough things that I
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: have to worry about on Derby Week. I'm not bringing
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: these cads.
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: Not what we're doing. We're taking the cameras. We're going
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: to do it out there so people can see the
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: people we're talking. If you want the people to see
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: what you see, then take a phone set up and
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: just record on your phone. Oh is that what I
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: should do? Yeah, I don't want to record, I want
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: it live. Well, do a Facebook live there. Oh that's
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: a great idea. I do a Facebook live, but it's
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: not on YouTube. So we got to be consistent, justin
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: all right, when has this show ever been consistent? Never? Never,
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: and it never will because nothing in my brain is consistent.
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: All right, this is one topic I wanted to talk
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: about the last couple of days. By the way, the
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: logo suite, Oh it is, Yeah, I got a horse
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: behind the one fifty two. I'll go back and look
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: at that. All right, I'm looking for a guy that
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: exits the school building behind us. But I thought this
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: was a cool article that USA Today did. Here's what
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: they did. USA Today wrote an article about we asked
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: AI to predict Fernando Mendoza's NFL career path. I thought,
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: what a great use of AI. And are you ready?
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: Because they used Microsoft co pilot, Chat, GPT and gronk
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: And are you ready? Because I know you're already uncomfortable,
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: aren't you be honest? I just I mean to me,
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know how AI can predict something. I don't either,
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: but I loved it. I already do not put any socket,
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: all right. Fernando's career stats, projected by a I are
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: you ready, I'm ready? All right? Co Pilot projects that
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: Mendoza will play fourteen NFL seasons. That'd be a good career.
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: Are you ready for where he's going to be playing?
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: Uh huh. It says within those seasons they'll he will
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: suit up for the Raiders, Vikings and Jets. Jesus, yeah,
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: itand it believes I know, terrible teams. By the way,
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: it believes he will make a playoff appearance in fifty
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: percent of those seasons and hoist for those teams, yes exactly.
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: Are you ready for this though? And hoist one Lombardi Trophy?
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: Do you like that? So within those fourteen seasons, majority
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: of it is going to be spent with the Raiders,
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: So twenty six to thirty three, he'll be with the Raiders,
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: Minnesota Vikings from thirty four to thirty seven, and he'll
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: end his lustrous career with nothing but the best team
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: in the NFL, the New York Jets. He'll have a
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: career record of one hundred and eight to eighty three,
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: playoff appearances of seven, Super Bowl appearances of one, Super
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: Bowl wins of one, MVP, one Pro Bowl of four,
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: and he will be All Pro selection one time on
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: the second team. Why are we doing this? I think
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: it was because it's an absolute wasted time, and I
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: thought it was awesome. He'll have completion rate of sixty
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: six percent, passing yards forty seven thousand, I mean TD
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: to I in T ratio will be three twenty four
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: to one forty two, and a passer rating on his
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: career of ninety six. How much this is up to
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: upset you? It doesn't upset me. At all.
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: I just I don't I don't understand, Like, that's not
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: how it's going to pan out. Oh see, I just
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: think it's dumb going to AI for this stuff in it. Yeah,
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: well here's what I did.
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: I thought, Okay, let's go to AI and ask the
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: question how successful of a show is Just the Cat?
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: You don't like that question, I'm anxious to see what
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: it's short answer, Just the Cats hosted by Michael T. Bennett.
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: I love that it put my middle initial. There appears
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: to be a consistent, long running, niche successful Kentucky sports
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: radio show with hundreds of episodes, daily publishing and distribution
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: across major platforms. While there is no public data unrating
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: the in size or revenue, it's longevity, platform presence, and
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: episode volume indicate a stable and engage listener base, especially
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: within Big Blue Nation. That was the short answer. That
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: was the short answer. Agree, Yeah, yeah, but it does.
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: I mean it was relatively complementary about this show, which
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: but it kept saying. Conclusion, just to catch is a
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: successful is successful within its niche, with strong signs of
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: stability and listener engagement, but lacks publicly available metrics to
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: quantify its broader reach. Oh my gosh, man, but then
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: it wants to analyze everything else. But I do. I
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: do love this, and it compares me to you know,
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: you can guess who it compares me to. I hate that.
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: I'm only thirty six years old and I heyday eye
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: the way I do. Really, when I get to be
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: enjoy it, can you imagine me? It's seventy how grumpy
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna be with all this?
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Where just the cats excels? Are you ready for consistency, production, authenticity? Again?
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: Here we go with a niche community appeal and independent
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: voice in a crowded market, very crowded market. Yeah? Is
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: it really? It's I feel like in the state of Kentucky,
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: I don't feel like I'm trying to think what shows
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: there are out there. I mean, obviously we have Kentucky
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: Roll Call, but in Louisville.
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: Besides, you know, the ones at the other station, I don't.
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: I don't read that as market as in the Louisville market.
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: I read that as in the Kentucky market. Well, again,
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: the same ones that are at the other station here
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: in Louisville are in Lexington. So where else are their
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: Kentucky shows?
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: I mean?
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: You gotta think of all the podcasts and stuff too. Oh,
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: I'm not thinking podcasts. I'm thinking radio.
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: It's just it's a very watered down market when it
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: comes to Kentucky's. But I don't necessarily include the podcast.
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: No offense to the podcast people. They do a phenomenal job,
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: and I'm very proud of the majority of those. I
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: think some of the people out there need to stop
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: what they're doing or improve themselves a lot more. I
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: think you compare podcasts to radio, I think radio you
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: have a I'm not trying to boast myself. The radio
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: is essentially a podcast now it is, but it's aren't
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: radio shows a little more respected or No? I don't know.
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: It's a great question. I don't really know how to
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: answer that. I don't either. But I thought that was funny.
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: I enjoyed every second of it, and I knew that
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: was going to kind because now you're kind of twitching
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: over there. You can't settle down, because I knew your
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: anxiety is a little up on the whole Fernando stuff.
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: No Ay, I just we're still at the point with
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: AI where it just makes me uncomfortable, Like I hate
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: how reliant people have gotten with it when it's I
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: just don't think it's anywhere close to well refined enough.
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: I enjoy to the point where I almost use it
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: every day. I mean, just for fun. I was using
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: it for picking out horses I wanted to buy, just
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: to see what kind of information it would give me. Now,
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: and it gave me really good information. Now I'll use
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: it also when I'm writing a long information piece on
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: how the horses that I'm managing are doing. I'll use
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: that information and put it into AI, and it gives
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: me an incredible amount of information that I very much use.
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: So I do I don't.
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: I just don't dabble in it all that often, other
• 56:36
  Speaker 3: than if I'm like making up a song or something. Occasionally,
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: if I have to write a commercial, which I have
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: to do quite often, I'll type like a prompt in
• 56:45
  Speaker 3: there just to get ideas from.
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: But I never I never use what they give me.
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: I'm just getting picking ideas from. Now to say I've
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: gone and used AI to help me write a sports show,
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: I haven't done that. I think there'll come a day
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: when a lot of people will, because you're a lot
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: it's like to use as it's your two encyclopedia. I
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: don't think you are. It's not that I'm going to
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: get out there and I'm still gonna have my voice,
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: but it'll give me a lot of background information that
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: if I was back in my day, we used encyclopedia,
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: so right, Yeah, I was.
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: Just gonna turn everybody into robots. This world's gonna suck
• 57:18
  Speaker 3: in like five hundred years.
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: I worry that there won't be free thinking anymore. No,
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: that's the part I worry about the most. Uh, And
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: because I'll utilize it to a degree, but I still
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: like my aspect of free thinking. I still want Michael
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: Bennett to be portrayed. And if it's not, then then
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: you're right, that's just I would call it lazy.
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's why I Ultimately, that's why I
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: brought up the story on my show this morning that
• 57:45
  Speaker 3: I did, because that was my first thought with this,
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: is that you're not even free thinking, you're just googling
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: what to ask. Yeah, and that while that story had
• 57:54
  Speaker 3: a background and there was different information about it, ultimately
• 57:58
  Speaker 3: that is going to be the spot.
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: That we get to. Yeah. Uh. One person texted five
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: two four one four fourteen fifty on the Luisi thief
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: text line scoots. Your local bucket list should include tickets
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: to the Great Steamboat Race. Yes it is rigged, but
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: it is also a blast on either boat. That's a
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: good list to come up with, not just bucket lists
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: of anything you'd want to do around the world. What
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: is a fair bucket list of two things you would
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: love to do right here in Louisville. M I'd have
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: to say I probably I'm pretty close to completing. Mind.
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: I as vocal as I have.
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: Been about hating horses in the past, yes, and riding horses, Yes.
• 58:46
  Speaker 3: I think A pretty cool bucket list item would be
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: taking a stroll around Churchill Downs on a horse. Oh,
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: that would be awesome. Yeah, because how many people get
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: to do that right here?
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: I've done it. That was one of my big and
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: I always make fun of myself. It's like, you're gonna
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: think I'm weird. But one of the biggest bucket lists
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: that I got to achieve about ten years ago was
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: taking my horse at Churchill Downs and riding it around
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: the track. That was unbelievable. I would say the second
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: one would be taking it to Keenlan and riding around
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: the track, which I have not done. Mine would be
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: playvall hall. Oh really yeah, okay, gotta play vahall a
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: one time in my life. I can't stand that course.
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: I probably won't be able to either. Yeah.
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: I don't like the layout of it. It doesn't really
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: set up well for my game. But just to say
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: you played it, I get it. It's gorgeous and I
• 59:33
  Speaker 3: would love to play it.
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I can't think of any two other things I
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: would want to do. I would say the Great Steamboat
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: Race I would want to do, and I don't know.
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: I guess, I guess it would be something Derby related.
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: Here's a fun one, right. I would love to be
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: on the Second Street bridge during thunder Ooh, that would
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: be really cool. Or if I can't be on Second
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: Straight Bridge, at least on like one of the boats
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: below the bridge. Yeah, I thought about you when they
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: made the announcement that they're closing the bridge because of
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: the fireworks setups night. Now there goes your free you're
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: free toll that you're bypassing. Are you paying today or
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: going a different round?
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: Anybody wants to venmo me fifteen dollars for the last
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: two days.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: I appreciate it. Sorry about that. Yeah, I know how
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: you said about that.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 3: I woke up this morning and I was debating. I
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: was like, do I just take the long way around
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 3: or do just bite the bullet and take sixty five?
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: I took sixty five. Josh said, his daughter's name is Nora.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: What a pretty name. Yeah, tell tell Nora. Just the
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: cat said, happy birthday? Please? We won't we won't sing
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: her a song? Should we? No? Yeah, nobody needs to
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: hear happy birthday? So, and that's such a beautiful name there, Josh,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: So congress to her. Let's see John here for a
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: third Well, good lord John here again. Yes, you need shooters. However,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: there is a lot of shooters at the YMCA that
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: knocked down a lot of shots, but they only play
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: pickup and not for college. Look, I would rather have
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: an all around good ball players and athletes where their
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: skill sets can do just about anything on the court.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: This is how the game should be played nowadays, in
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: my opinion. Yes, Kentucky has a quarterback named Gunner Hoke. Uh,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: and that's who I was thinking of. Like currently, No,
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: I don't think he's there anymore. I think he's already transferred.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: But yeah, Gunner Hoke, I remember Gunner Hope. I mean
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: that is the and he was a quarterback. That is
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: the perfect name for a quarterback in football? Is that?
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: Is he really good for him? Yeah? One other person said,
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: Gunner Hope quarterback that never worked out. Yeah, he didn't
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: work out, which was really a shame. He's done Yeah, Oh,
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: he has done at Ohio State as well. Let's see.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: One person said, are uh, let me make sure I'm
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: on the Oh, this guy in Texas in a long time.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: I appreciate this Texter. Uh, there's freedom of speech, but
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: not eat him of consequence. A private business can fire
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: anyone if they say something they don't like. Yeah, that's
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: what I was alluding to. Okay, so if it's a
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: good company policy, then yeah, yeah. But I evidently there's
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: a riff between those two young ladies because she just
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: blasted her freud did against Rassini, I mean blasted her.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: So there there's got to be something in there, and
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: I would love more background information. I just I don't know,
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: I enjoy that kind of stuff. Let's see one person,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: let's see forty eight. Handley said, who's gonna sanctioned? Vrabel Craft?
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: Patriots coming off a great season after several years in
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: the wilderness. They're not rocking that boat. That story will
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: not will be old news soon. Yeah, I get it,
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: because I mean, I think a great example of that
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: as well as Todd Golden mm hmm. Last not this
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: past season, but season before the season they won the
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: national title. People completely forgot a lot of the stuff
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: that was happening with him, and he was being accused
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: of uh doing two people there at University of Florida,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: and yet that was swept under the rug, especially when
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: the season ended and he had already won a title.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: So yeah, you're you're right. It probably will. With Rabel,
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: they'll probably sweep it under the rug and just say
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: nothing about it. But if he does have a clause
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: in his contract, which I would love to see the
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: contract and see if there is, then you need to
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: be accountable to it. And if they didn't, then yeah,
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: he'll get he'll get away with it. But one person said,
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: Michelle said this, I can't find you guys on YouTube.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: Look up Big X Sports Radio Louisville. Michelle, Oh, is
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: that what you do? Big Exports? He should have said
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: that a long time ago. You're just telling me you
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: get on YouTube, and I didn't even say what they
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: should be looking at Big X Sports Radio Louisville. That's
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: a lot to remember to hit that subscribe. Can't we
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: just say big X, I X.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 3: They've been big X, it'll probably come up. They don't
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 3: think you have to type all that out Big X
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: Sports Radio Louisville. That that's a that's a that's a mouthful.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 3: I'm just gonna tell you right now, but hopefully you will.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 3: And by the way, I have my hookahs on today.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: Uh so I need to show you. One person said Michael.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: This is a guy that's never texteds before, So thank
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 3: you very.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: Much, Michael. What are your thoughts on Pope's inability to
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: connect with elite players? According to Jacob pull a check
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: of k of that other place deserved. Uh, I'd like
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: to know what his source is. That's listen. Uh. I
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: don't know Jacob Pole chick of KSR, but I mean,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: I just don't anything that's written. With the exception of
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: a few people. I think Tyler, I forget what her
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: last name. I think Thompson does a great job. I
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: like Tyler. She's the boss now, so she has to
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: do a good Oh she is. Yeah, I didn't know that. Yeah,
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: I think you know clearly. I think Nick Rausch does
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: a great job. But why why are you so mean
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: on Nick? Seriously?
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 3: Because there's nothing more fun in my life than making
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 3: fun of Nick. Sometimes I think you're serious about it,
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 3: but maybe I am.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'm not. That's all about you to interpret. I
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: I don't like that you're you're knocking your coach when
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: you're trying to get elite players to come here, and
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: you're already saying something like this. I don't like him
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: calling out Mark Pope on that. I'm gonna support Mark
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: Pope on this because maybe those elite players won't fit
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: into a system. Let's let's see if we get Tyron Stokes.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: And if we do, then what are you talking about.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: He's obviously connecting with that player, so he yes, he
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: brought in two elite players last year, Jasper Johnson won
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: them didn't work out, and he's.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 3: Gone, yeah, but how many how many players did you
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 3: miss in the portal last year? And then you get
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 3: the reports about midway through last year that it was
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: Mark Pope at the closing table.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but again we're just hearing this. We don't we
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: can't confirm it. So why why bring it up when
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: this guy Jacob policheck, which, dude, you don't know what
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: you're talking about. I mean, don't don't post stuff like
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: this and say stuff like this on a wild widely
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: viewed website. Uh, and because it's only hurting my team.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: So I'm not willing to go that far yet. Now,
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: when if it's gonna happen consistently, that was only two
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: years into it. Now, if it's happened consistently three, four
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: or five years down the road, okay, we can criticize
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: him at that point, But right now, I don't think
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: it's the time to criticize him, because guess what. If
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: I'm a head coach, I've got one of my lackeys
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: out there reading every site that a big player is considering,
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: and I'm gonna use that as ammunition because guess what
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: they're now going to use this lackey's ammunition by Oh, well,
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: you know, Mark Pope doesn't have to connect. Why would
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: you want to go to play for a coach that
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: doesn't how to connect with the players. You're not going
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: to get to the next level Because now all I'm
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: hearing is that, well, Mark Pope hasn't been able to
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: get players in the NBA. Well, you know, there was
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: a time that natoswe wasn't getting players in the NBA.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: There was a time when Todd Gold wouldn't getting players
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: of the NBA. There was a time that a lot
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: of these coaches, John Shire, we're not getting players in
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: the NBA. Give him time. They will get to the NBA.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: They will. Malachi Moreno's going to play in the NBA
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: and he started with Kentucky. So stop criticizing Mark Pope
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: right now. Let's support him right now and then move forward.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm getting kind of fired up about this
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: hash yeah right there. Thank you Texter from Florida for
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: asking me that, because Jacob Paul Check you deserve the
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: criticism more than Mark Pope does. Right now, Stop writing
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: all this crap and so oh we got a zoom call.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, and then you're gonna write something like this.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: I couldn't well, I mean, come on, he's got a
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: job to do. Yeah, but he's just dumb post. That's
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: a dumb post. He's just reporting what he's here. I
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: don't care, don't that's like a job. We're the champions
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: of zoom calls. Okay, don't get me started on that.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: Let a commitment from zoom Diallo.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but this, that's not that's not groundbreaking new not
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 3: to know that, Michael Bennett. But it's for nobody, the
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 3: diehard's out there that want to know every piece of
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 3: information that's out there.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: Worded in a different way. Mark, don't make it groundbreaking that,
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: Oh we scheduled a zoom call. That's just dumb. He
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: almost made me say a worst word anyway, all right, Uh, Michael, Michael,
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: I enjoy eating teach while listening to your niche show
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: takes a lie. Michael asked, Ai if it's going to
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: become Skynet. Oh, I really, I don't know what that means,
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: but I'm a little afraid. So during the break, I'll
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: I'll look into that. We gotta take another break follow
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: two four one four fourteen fifty on the Whiskey th
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: text one. Keep those texts coming because I'm enjoying, especially
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: the one I just got from Florida that got me
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: fired up about that writer again. I mean, I, I
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: don't know. I part of me wants to have him
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: on this show, just to talk to him. He's on
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: KRC everywhere. Well, then I don't need to have him
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: on ARC. Yeah I know, but then he needs to
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: be on that show. But yeah, I just and that's
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 2: why I stick up for him because I've well I
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: heard it. I've heard him on KRC the last couple
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: of weeks, and yeah, I feel bad. He has been
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: getting roasted online for He should get roasted online for this,
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: for just doing his job. That's all he's doing, is
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: doing his job. Do you think listen to this show
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: and everything we say, they're like, hell, yeah, we agree. No,
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: we say things too that people disagree. That's all the time.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 3: That's part of the job. But that's part of Jacob's job.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna get it wrong sometimes. I want him to
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 3: learn to word it in a different way. He should
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 3: be reporting that, but don't make it where it's oh
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 3: my gosh, I got this gigantic story.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: We scheduled a zoom call. I mean, that's just clownish.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: It just is when he the breaking news should be
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: he is coming to Lexington or he has committed to UK.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: That's groundbreak. No, that is everyone's opinion out there on
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: so not ever. Okay, well, I mean majority of big
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: you're not a part of Big Blue Nations, so it's
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: everyone in a well you should be I agree, lunatics.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: It's a lot or taking break, say right, there a
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: lot more on YouTube at Big EX Sports Radio Louisville
• 1:10:50

• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: minute fire down standing in the ring. Hey, justin fastest
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: four minutes in all of sports. You know we're doing
• 1:11:23

• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: with me over here during breaks a little quicker. You've
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: done that twice today, by the way, with dead air.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: It's Friday. It's Friday. It's okay. Are we back on YouTube?
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: We we are? Yeah? YouTube? Hello? If you want to
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: join us on YouTube or at Big X Sports Radio Louisville.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: But you can just search big X and it'll come up.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: It will. Have you tried it before? Okay? And you
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: said we have a question on YouTube?
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 4: We do?
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: I love. I didn't even know they could comment on this.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: They can comment, Yeah I could. One texture just wants
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: to know.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 3: So what does Pope need to do in the regular
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 3: season SEC tournament and NCAA tournament to have another year?
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: Oh? I think he has to has to come in
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: second place at the very least in the SEC regular season.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: I think the very least, I do. I really do.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 3: So if this man finishes third in the conference, you're
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 3: saying we're done with Pope cutting ties.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: Well, unless he wins the conference and makes a deep run,
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: I really some that.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 3: Is is it?
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: Really? It's unreasonable. Why that's entirely too high?
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: It is?
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: What do you think he should finish? Yet, I'd say
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: if he's got to be in the top five, I
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 2: think that's too low. I mean I'll grant it. I'll say, okay,
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: third or fourth, I'm not going five. I mean, he's
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: got to be one of the top four finishers in
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: the SEC. He's got to make a run. I'm not
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: saying he has to win the SEC tournament, but he
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: has to make a run. I mean he has to
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: get to at least the semi finals, and then where
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: it matters the most is in the tournament. I really
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: believe he's got to make a lead eight. I'm sorry
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: that that is the that's the belief on how we
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: run this team and how this team should be run
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: at the University of Kentucky. Well, let me just be
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: the first to say it's been nice having how deep.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: Do you think he has to go in the tournament
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: because that's where I think it matters the most. I mean,
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: you're probably right. SEC tournament doesn't mean as much. Only
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: it means more to the fans. I mean, it means
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: what they want to go down there and see. But
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: if I had my choice of winning the SEC Tournament
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: of the NCAA tournament, guess what, ten times out of ten,
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say the NCAA Tournament. It's nice to
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: have a nice deep run. Go see him play in Nashville,
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: because that's where it is every freaking year. But then uh,
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: go in the and make a fun run the NCAA Tournament.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: I just it's not gonna it's not gonna do it
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: for the fan base to make the Sweet sixteen. No,
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: I agree with that. You gotta make the Elite eight.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying final four. I'm saying Elite eight.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 3: What if he finishes sixth in the conference semi finals,
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 3: in the Big or in the SEC tournament.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then the Elite eight. I'm good with that.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: I'm good with that, Okay, Yeah, because that's where it
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: matters the most. I mean, it's a tough schedule to
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: put together, and I appreciate that. But if he finishes fifth,
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: sixth but makes an Elite eight run, I'm good with that.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: There's something going on right there. But I can't have
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: all this mythical answers that uh and we're questioning and
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: and and uhh saying oh, this team is so great
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: and then ah, yeah, but we had a little problem
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: before the game. We talked about Oh, but I can't
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: talk about it. We can't have Mark Pope act the
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: way you did this past season. He's got to come
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 2: out and say, yeah, we're struggling at shooting. Here are
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: the reasons why, here's how I'm going to improve it.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: Just like we can't go and lose two teams by
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: double digits. Yeah, can't do that. I mean, if that
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 2: happens again this year, I don't care where he finishes.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: If it's outside the top five, they're gonna be done
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 2: with a coach that continues to consistently lose to opposing
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: teams by fifteen, twenty points or more. That's gonna be inexcusable.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: If he continues not to get these elite players, but
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: they really mesh well together, I'm okay with that. I
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: don't care if they go to the NBA or not.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: I've never cared about that. It's nice, but that was
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: one of the things I always thought was kind of
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: embarrassing by John cal Perry, that you always had these
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: these tweets out there. Oh, look how many players we
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: have the NBA. Look how many players are in the
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: NBA finals used to play for Kid. Well, to me,
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: that's embarrassing. You mean you had all these players and
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: you got one title out of it. You got one
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: championship game out of it. That's embarrassing. You got two
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: final fours and you had all those players. I mean,
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: look at what reed Shephard is doing and he didn't start.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: How do you explain yourself that that was gonna be
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: my next question if he was still there, and I
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: know I'd get a phone call. So anyway, Josh texted out,
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: Jacob is fair. He's just doing his job. He's a
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: good dude, even though he's a Kansas fan. Another problem
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: is UK is that UK is so tight lipped on
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: things that even a zoom call is news. Yes, I
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: think they're just having old man takes on this. Michael,
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: thanks for shouting out, Nora. She's gonna love it. So, yeah,
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: happy birthday. I wish we knew how was this is
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: a great text. Yeah, I just disagree. It's not breaking news.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: And he's not ar Kansas fan. For what it's worth,
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: he's a Kansas alone. Word it in a different way.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: Don't say it's breaking that we're having a zoom came
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: on it. It's not breaking. Josh is right.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 3: Kentucky is so tight lipped on everything that any morsel
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 3: of information is breaking news.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: Don't do it. Don't do it. By the way, what
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 2: happened at the end of the Reds game? You say
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: versus the Giants? Did you see that at the end
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: of the game. The picture comes off the mound and
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 2: starts pointing. Yeah, they don't like each other. Is that
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: what it is?
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 3: Well, so, Spencer Steer got hit by a pitch. I
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 3: saw that on Wednesday, right, And I guess there was
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 3: a little bit of a dust up on Wednesday, and
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 3: then he gets hit again yesterday and that's kind of
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 3: what started all this. Yeah, I didn't see it live,
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 3: but I did see.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: Well, Eric Milker didn't have anything to do with the uh,
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: the the relief picture for the Giants.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 3: Eric Miller, I mean, I just think it was testy
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 3: for the last couple of games in that series, but.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: It made me laugh. You know, the guy, the relief pitcher,
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 2: Eric Miller, he starts pointing it all of them. Then
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: the red start coming out and he retrieves to his
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: the Giants bench.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 3: So he had apparently said something to Sal Stewart along
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 3: the line of sit the bleep down, and Sal responded
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 3: back and said watch your mouth. So that's that's where
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 3: all that's all right?
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: D all right?
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: What do you think of gender reveal? Do you think
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: they've gone overboard? Or do you like gender reveals? Oh?
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: I come through.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 3: I mean seeing some of the ideas that people come
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 3: up with to reveal the gender have been pretty cool
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 3: over the years. I mean I've seen some really fun ones.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 3: I don't have any issues with. Okay, good, I get
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 3: a little tiresome of it. But I will say the
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 3: greatest that I've ever seen happened in Pittsburgh. Okay, you
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 3: didn't see this, did you? This was really cool? So,
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 3: uh Pitchburg.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: Starting picture, Braxton Ashcraft and his wife are expecting their
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: first child. Okay he's horrible, Okay, yes, but you'll love this.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: This is really cool. So his whole family on both
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: sides are there at the game watching him get ready
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: to pitch. Well, the way they revealed it, Joey Bart,
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 2: the catcher for the Pittsburgh Steelers, came out pirates or
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Pirates came out of the dugout wearing a sleeve
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 2: that had a certain color on it revealing what the
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: gender of the baby was. And they he had a
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: pink sleeve on and I thought that was really cool.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: We've seen something like that, and have you really I've
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: never seen that before. We got to switch it up.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 2: You know what he should have done. You take a
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: packet of like pink or blue powder. You tape it
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: to the inside of your catcher's mitt. Ah, that's cool,
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 2: And that first warm up pitch he throws. I like
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: that that bag pops, the color goes everywhere. That's that's
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: awesome idea. That's how should have been. Or you take
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 2: a rosin bag out there that's either tainted with pink
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: or blue. I like your idea. That would be the
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: best way. Yes, did you and your wife figure out
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 2: the gender of the Never? We didn't want to know
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 2: on either of them. On either of them. Yeah, because
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: I told you that story. Havn't ah, oh yeah about
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: the girl? No, no, no, the story of My wife
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 2: and I were married May twenty first of nineteen ninety
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: four at four o'clock. Have I ever remember? Oh? Yeah,
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: and your your sons were born on that day. Our
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: first son, Max was born at exactly four o'clock on
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: our wedding invitation on May twenty first, and then our
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: second son was born at one fifty seven on May
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 2: twenty first. We didn't find out what their gender was,
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 2: didn't want to know. It was surprise to both of us.
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 2: Yet my mom dreamed it was going to be a girl,
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 2: and swore up and down we were going to have
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 2: a girl. She had literally had bought dolls for the girl,
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: and we didn't have a girl.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 3: At Easter, we found out one of my cousins was
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 3: was pregnant, and she old my sister that they probably
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 3: weren't going to find out the gender, and that blew
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 3: my sister's mind. She was like, wait, what, how could
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 3: you How could you have a baby and not know
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 3: what it's gonna be. I like that used to happen
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 3: all the time, exactly. I liked the idea of letting
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 3: it be a surprise. I had no issue with it.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 3: My wife had no issue.
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 2: It was fun for us. That's how I'll be if
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 2: I ever get it. Yeah, you will, you wouldn'tay, I mean,
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: come on, get your girlfriend first. Let me help you

• 1:22:01
  Speaker 2: I was scared to death to get married. I was
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: scared to death when I found out my wife, Patricia
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: was pregnant with our first son. But I will say

• 1:22:40

  Speaker 1: Don't know matter.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 2: You got to give me. I love giddy. This song

  Speaker 2: will forever remind me of one movie in one movie
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 2: only and you know the movie, right, Caddy Shack, Caddy Shack. Yeah, okay,
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 2: that's weird. You told me to turn this on and
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 2: now it's weird. Okay, I got the YouTube on so
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 2: that I can You said, turn it on so you
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 2: can see the it's a little delayed. Oh yeah, it
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 2: is a little blade, but it's weird. Yeah. I don't
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 2: like looking at myself, so anyway, I got to turn
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 2: that off as quick as I can. One person said,
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 2: not knowing the gender first is impractical. Better to let
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 2: people know what they need for the baby shower. That's it.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 2: I think impractical is pretty strong. Yeah, come on, Jamie, No, no,
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: it's not impractical. They can still there's lots of stuff
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 2: they can buy out there that doesn't have to be
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: gender related, just by yellow stuff the most well that
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 2: I would agree with that. The other thing is guess
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 2: what by diapers because that's the most expensive expense there
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 2: is right there? Formula, babyfood that too, yoys, Yeah, teethers,
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 2: all kinds of stuff. One person said, let's see Patrick said,
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 2: finally I could see what Michael Bennett looks like. Sorry
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 2: about you, Patrick. How do I look? I mean, Patrick,
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 2: how do I look? I'd like to know, but yeah,
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 2: I think I look ridiculous. But all right, let's get
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 2: to a couple of things. First of all, UK football
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 2: tomorrow eleven o'clock. I think it's going to be a
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: lot of fun. You should go, but you need a ticket,
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 2: so that's the only I say. You don't have to
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 2: buy the ticket, but you have to get the ticket
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 2: to be in order to enter. How stupid is that?
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 2: I don't understand it, But yeah, I think it's rather silly.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 3: Come to the game, but you have to have a ticket,
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 3: I know, for you know, just instead of just showing
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 3: up to the gate and walking through. That's all they
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 3: can get a number on it.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 2: I guess, but I don't. Now they're having up on
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 2: the Woodford level. You can go there and have some
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 2: eats and stuff. That does cost twenty dollars because you're
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 2: getting food and drink. But the fact that you have
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: to come in here with a ticket just to sit
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 2: in the stands is kind of ridiculous. But all right,
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 2: let's get to this, because you know, they're not going
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 2: to have I think it's like fifteen or eighteen players
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 2: that aren't going to be playing, but they'll all be ready,
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 2: shut up, I know what. He's all right, oh you
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 2: look all right, Well that's a compliment coming from a guy. Okay,
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 2: so thank you, Patrick. I'll take that as a compliment.
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 2: You look all right. You could say I look dapper,
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 2: you could say you're a handsome looking fella. I'm not interested,
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 2: but you look all right. I think he got that
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: from the song. I came back with, Oh, okay, is
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: that what it is? Checks out? Yeah? Because I am
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 2: all right? But can I get back to this please?
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 2: I appreciate your of course, it's gonna be the first
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 2: practice admission. We talked about that. Here's the thing. They're
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 2: gonna have a format in the game format. The teams
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 2: will be split up into the blue team and the
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 2: white team the offense WI were The offense will wear
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 2: blue and the defense will wear all white. The bull Yeah,
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 2: isn't it though? You like that? The full team the
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 2: come up. The colors are blue and white. Why are
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: you saying creative that it's a funny joke. The full
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 2: team will run out of the center tunnel together, Uh,
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 2: to the marching band. I love that they explain this completely.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: What if they fight, well, I mean, it's it's the
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 2: fight song, so might as well. The game will feature
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 2: four fifteen minute quarters. The second half could be a
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 2: running clock based on coaches decision. For the second format.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 2: For the scoring format, the offense gets six points for
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: a touchdown, one point for an extra point, two points
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 2: for a conversion from the two yard line. Wait, so
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 2: we're playing football. Yeah, that's what you're telling me. Three
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 2: points for a field goal, four points for a conversion
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 2: from the ten yard line. The defense can score six
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 2: points for a touchdown, six points for a turnover, and
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 2: three points for a a three and out or turnover
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 2: on downs, and one point for a forced punt, so
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 2: the defense can score as well. Okay, so I kind
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 2: of like the format, so you know you're about to
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 2: make fun of it. I mean, don't explain to me
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 2: that a touchdown six points and an extra point. I'm
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 2: right there with you, but I don't make sure everyone
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 2: out there completely understands and they don't have to go
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 2: to AI and say, please exclain to me. I'm not
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 2: knocking on you at all. I'm knocking on this beat
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 2: you are, but I feel like you're knocking on me.
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 2: But anyway, have at it. But all right, So I
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 2: did like that, So I think it's gonna be a
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 2: lot of fun. I hope a lot of people end
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 2: up going, because, uh, I want to see a big
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 2: crowd for the first one. So this is you know,
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 2: will Stein's first one, and we'll see how it goes.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: But anyway, by the way, I did go luck look
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 2: up what sky Nett was, you know, the one Texter
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 2: was telling us to go. Ask Ai, So are you
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 2: going to become sky Neet? Ai said no, I'm a
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 2: language model, not a self aware system with goals, agency,
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 2: or the ability to act in the world on my own.
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 2: I don't have persistent memory between conversations. I can't modify myself.
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 2: So Skynett I didn't know anything about sky Net. I
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 2: still don't. The scenario assumes an AI that wants to
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 2: want something and acts to protect that one. I don't
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 2: have once in that sense, I process your message and respond.
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 2: That's the extent of it. God your age. I don't
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 2: say something I wish I was like eighty five, I
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 2: really do. I don't. I don't want to be around
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 2: for the next phase. With all I love every minute
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 2: of it. So it's gonna be fun, all right, Let's
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 2: get to this. Uh, The NCAA made a rule change
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 2: where now they're going to allow men's and women's basketball
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 2: to participate in foreign tours every single year instead of
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 2: every four years, and the NC double A is requesting
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 2: that this rule change and apply to every sport out there.
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 2: So you like this? Why do you like this?
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, with the landscape of college sports nowadays, where
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 3: you're bringing in a brand new team basically in every
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 3: single year, you I need an opportunity for that team
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 3: to jail together. And I think an overseas trip is
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 3: exactly what the doctor orders in that regard, no matter.
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 3: But if they're letting him do it overseas, why can't
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 3: they do it right here in the United States?
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 2: I mean it can. Let's just let's restrictions to it
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 2: being exclusively overseas. Yeah, but well all right, So if
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 2: U K or IU or any team that you wanted
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 2: to follow went overseas, where would you like to go
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 2: see them play Fiji? Wow, that's a great idea, That's
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: my answer for any time we bring up overseas. Is
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 2: it really Fiji's the place you want to go? Yeah,
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 2: that's a great idea. I would love to do that
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 2: because you know, uh, that's not a fun trip by
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 2: the way, I couldn't imagine it would be. Yeah, that's
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 2: a long flight, but I hear that place is I've
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 2: always wanted to go to Fiji and never done it.
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 2: Great choice right there, Thank you that I would be
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 2: right there. When cal was talking about taking UK over
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 2: to Italy, It's like, I don't want to go all
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 2: the way to Italy, but Fiji I probably would do that.
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 2: The chili, Yeah, what why'd you say that? Oh? You
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 2: said you brought up it only that's my wife's maiden name. Oh, okay,
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 2: so I said it. I used to say bullet chili because.
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 3: You know, uh, do you know John Spears's name when
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 3: he was born was batcha GALOOPI.
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: Okay, he's also a town I didn't know that. Really.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 2: I met a guy last night at that party that
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 2: do you know John Spears? He said he went on
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 2: a golf trip with him, So, yeah, I wonder who
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 2: that was. I don't know you remember his name that
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 2: I'm the youngest guy that goes on this golf trip.
• 1:31:33
