• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Hello, Big Blue Nation, This is Michael Bennett. This is
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Just the Cats and Michael Bennett on this Friday, July
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: twenty fourth. Already screwing up, but I don't care. It's Friday.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: I'm in a good mood. So I don't know if
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: you heard me on Justin klen His you know, Sunrise
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: with Scoot says that he does every each and every
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: day Monday through Friday, seven to eight o'clock and he
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: has me come on for a little cross talk. And
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: I always enjoy that little tidbit that we get to
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: do because I get to relax a little more because
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: I never know what we're going to talk about me
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: with your show exactly, and I kind of like that.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: It's to a point where it's relaxing, because there are
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: times I wish somebody would come up with the topics
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: and just ask me questions and I would be able
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: to give you my opinion, because that all absolutely I
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: can tell you right now. When I did the Lexington
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Show on Sunday, I think it's called Sunday Morning Am
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Sports or something like that that they do on one of
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: the radio stations. You know, the flagship station of University
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: of Kentucky Sports. I it was a dream for me
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: because you're right, I got to just give my opinions.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I could relax, enjoy, listen whatever Anthony White was going
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: to ask me, and then boom, I could have fun.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Whereas here you you got to be a little bit
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: on top of your game. A little bit, yeah, not
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: too much. So no, but it's not to a point
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: where it's it's anxiety driven. I just get excited. It's
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: you know, I've told you before, I've never been nervous
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: on the radio. I don't know why that is, but
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: when I am asked to go on somebody else's show,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I get a little nervous. Isn't that the weirdest thing
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: in the world. Yeah, And I just it's like, why,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: why are you getting nervous? I just I don't like,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: right now, I'm excited to be on this Friday, I'm
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: not nervous. I'm just excited. I am so weird. Sometimes
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I think I realized that.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: I think I'm resigned to the fact that if I've
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: got a microphone in front of my face, I'm never
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: going to be nervous again, really never. I just I don't.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: I don't get nervous before games. I don't get nervous
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: before coming on here. I don't like there's there is
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: nothing where a microphone is in front of me that
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: I get nervous.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Do you get nervous if you're in front of a
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: microphone in front of a lot of people?
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: No, No, not even that, Like yeah, really, even the
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: weddings that i've officiated, No, me, neither. I'm not nervous
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: with those either.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I had to do a toast at a what
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: do you call it? It's not a bridle shower, it's
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: an engagement party. And I was asked to do a
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: toast for this young man I've known almost all his
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: life and he's about to be bride. And I took
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: a while to think about what am I gonna say?
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: And then I came up, Oh, that's gonna be perfect.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: And I had fun with it. I said, I got
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: up there and said, I've known David so long. I
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: think he's he's my son. We're gonna let out the
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: news officially tonight. I don't know how it ever happened,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: but look at him. He's good looking, he looks just
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: like me. He is my son. Yeah, his father didn't
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: think it was so funny. His mom was dying last
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: So you got a lie, Oh I got Oh, I
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: got all kinds of life.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: So that's that's what helps's if you are ever nervous,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: that's what helps me.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Or really see, I wasn't nervous. I'm just never nervous.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: I've never been nervous speaking in front of a lot
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: of people. Can I ever tell you the joke that
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: I made at my sister's wedding? Oh no, so I.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Marrying her and her husband, and I start out basically
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: by saying, I'm glad this day's finally here because I'm
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: sick and tired of telling people that I'm marrying my sister.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: And that the whole place erupted. It was all I see.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Double meaning jokes are awesome, justin because I guarantee you
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: some people had to sit there and wait a minute,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: what do you mean? And then when it hits, it hits,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: and it hits hard, and that's a great joke right there.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: It was awesome. Yeah. The reception that I got after
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: that was, oh, I believe you, I believe you. That's
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I just there's nothing better than a double meaning joke
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: and that that's perfect though. Uh anyway, but big plans
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: for the weekend. I've got no plans for the weekend. Really, actually,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: I've got one plan. I'm gonna I'm gonna completely want
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: eighty on you here. When's the last time you had
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: a splinter? Didn't see that guy I'm talking about? Uh wow, Okay,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Justin has done full circle. He is now Michael Bennett.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I am Justin Kaylen for a little bit. When's the
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: last time I had a splinter? Probably about a year ago?
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Really that recently? Yeah, so I hadn't had one in many,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: many years. Yes, Well, I was doing some yard work
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: last night. I got a splinter in my finger, and
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: I forgot how painful they can be. Oh yeah, So
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: literally my only task this entire weekend is I've got
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: to find a way to get this out tweezers. Yeah.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: I tried that this morning. It's just it's didn't come out.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: It's on like the tip of my finger, so it's
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: like super sensitive. Ooh, that's the worst. It kind of hurts. Yeah,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: keep in mind, you remember I'm in Florida a good
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: portion of the year, so I'm on a dock trying
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: to take care of boats and traps, so I get
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: splinters from the dock. It's not the worst, is I
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: think it's worse when you get it in your foot
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: more than your hand. I don't know that I've ever had.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Oh I have, man, you get on some bad docks
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: and it's it's the wood is just deteriorating away. To me,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: that's the worst is the foot because it because it
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: especially when it goes deep, you can't do anything about it. It
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: just dissolves or it just goes away. I count my
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: blessings in with the one on my fingers, I think.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I think. So I don't know how to do it
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: other than just take a pair of tweezers and dig
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: it out. And it's just and my wife gets so
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: gross down below the surface. That's the hard part. So
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: it's like I almost need a needle to break that
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: skin first. Yeah, then maybe just get a little alcohol
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: and dig that thing out. I'm glad we're on here.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: What you know. The funny part is, are you ready
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: for this?
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: It is National Tequila Day? Oh, don't tell me, Oh
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: it is.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Don't tell me that Today is a day of two things,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: National Tequila Day, and it's National cousins day.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, those, I guess those kind of go together, don't
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: they Certain parts of the country, they'll go together.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, Tequilan cousins there. I mean, uh, it is fun.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: So I'll tell you something. A couple of years ago,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: I went to a concert down in Nashville with my
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: son and my cousin, one of my cousins, because you know,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: I got thousands of cousins. Do you know how many
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: cousins you have?
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Not the exactly, like twenty four, maybe twenty five. I've
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: got thirty. Uh is that right?
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: No?
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute, how many do I have? I have
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: a bunch. Uh, I've got thirty five cousins. Now do
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: you count when your cousin gets married? Are they additional
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: cousins their spouse? Yes? No, okay, so they're not cousins.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Cousin in law's okay, cousin in law. All right, I've
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: got thirty five cousins. So last year I went to
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: a concert with my son and one of my favorite cousins, Mary,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: and we went to a few bars down there in
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Nashville afterwards, and these girls come up to us and say,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: we love your wife, And I'm like, my wife's not here,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: and they're like, wanting to know, isn't that you're white.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: I'm like, no, that's my cousin. And so my cousin
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: was grossed out. I was grossed out. And not only that,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: my cousin is like eight years older than me. Do
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: I look like I'm old enough to be eight years older?
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: It just it infuriated me. It's kind of rude to
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: those girls after that. That doesn't seem like that big
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: of a deal to me. Really, No, I wouldn't rude
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: to him, but I just I did have fun with him.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: But uh anyway, uh no, all right, I don't know
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: where were we. I don't know. Oh, National tequila today today. Congratulations,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: get a little tequila. Togain like tequila. Well, it depends
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: if it's really good tequila. I do. Yeah, I love it.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: I here's the weird part. I had never had tequila
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: until a couple of years ago. Was my first time, really,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: and this so server brought me some. He asked me
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: if I would like some tequila, he goes, I said,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: I've never had tequila. He goes, If I bring you
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: a shot at tequila that's really nice, will you drink it?
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: I said, I'll try it. He brings it over. It
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: was delicious. So I've never had cheap tequila. I've only
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: had really nice tequila. I like it all, do you really? Yeah? Okay,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: I'm big tequila. You get in trouble with tequila.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: I'm one of those guys that so a lot of
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: my friends don't like tequila. So if we like go
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: to a Mexican restaurant for their birthday or whatever, and
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: they bring out the shot, I'm the guy that always
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: gets there.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Really, now, it's not to say I've never had a margarita.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: I've just never had tequila by itself. Sure, because tequila
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: is in margarita and it is okay, good, all right,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: at least I got that right. So all right, let's
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: I don't have anything going on this weekend either, I
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: don't know, other than watching the La Familia game on Sunday.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: That's gonna be two o'clock. You said you were gonna
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: take me out on the river. I did, I remember correctly?
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, well I guess I'm going out in the
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: river then. So I didn't know I was doing that.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: But okay, sounds great. Let's go justin you and me.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: But uh, you know, if anybody out there ask me,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: is this my spouse, I'm gonna lose it even more so,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: all right, I really think, and we're gonna talk familia
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: a little later, lah Familia whatever. I mean, just let's
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: change the name. Please. I can't beg whoever's in charge
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: of this enough to please change this name to something else.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: It's time.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: But what if they win, though, I think it's that
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: would be the perfect time to retire it. I would,
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: I don't know, I would think you would have to
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: keep that momentum rolling, keep the name.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Really if you win, Yeah, if you win, you keep
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: the name. If you lose, you gotta get rid of Okay,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: I'm good with that. Yeah, all right, I think I'm
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: good with that. I'm just kind of tired of the
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: lah Amelia. It doesn't associate with UK anymore. Just like
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Beheim's Army. You know exactly who that is, but that
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: doesn't associate with Syracuse anymore.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but you know who Jim bay Time is. Yeah,
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: but why are they still Beheim? I mean, I guess
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: they all played for Bayheim.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: But yes, so, I mean within the next dump, within
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: the next five years, you're saying they should change their name.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Do you think the TBT will last? No, I don't
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: you think it's going to kind of deteriorate and kind
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: of fizz away.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: Well, we had what sixty I want to say, sixty
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: teams last year, sixty one, and then this year you
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: can't even get eight non alumni teams to fill that bracket.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: It's done. There's fourteen total teams. Yeah, and it's done. Yeah,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: and we're just there.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: I like what they're doing with these the regional matchups,
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: the best of threes and stuff, but it's just it
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: feels a little too manufactured, Like I thought. I heard
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: this take yesterday that I agreed with, But I liked
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Live Familiar and the Ville more when it just kind
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: of happened right now now they are now, and yeah,
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: now they forced it to happen, Like that first year
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: when they played in the semi final or whatever it was.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: That was awesome.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because both teams did they won their two games
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: to get to that spot.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: All we knew.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: We knew that they had to just each win two games.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: They both were able to do it, and then bam,
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden, you're playing each other, and then
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: it was gonna be the same last year if Louisville
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: didn't get knocked out early. But then this year he
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: come in and it's like, hey, you all are playing.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: Not only are you playing, you're playing three games.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: It didn't work. I don't hate the idea. I just
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: hate how forced it fit. It would be a lot
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: better if you had it to where UK met U
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: of L in the championship game. That's how you build
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: up the excitement. I don't know that that could ever happen.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: You don't think so.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: I mean maybe they they could have maybe set it
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: up where they meet up in the alumni bracket championship.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: But then then who you're gonna have If if you're
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: wanting to do these regional rivalries, then who do you
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: pair a lot familiar up with?
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Who do you pair the villa up with? Yeah, I
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: got you. I would probably do it between another SEC
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: alumni team or in another ACC alumni team for them, respectively.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, I guess Auburn has that team or had that.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: I don't. I don't think they're back. I haven't looked
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: at it enough. I only paid attention to UK U
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: of L. I'm pretty sure Auburn is in the non alumni.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Bra they are, but it doesn't make Auburn has a
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: team no offense to Auburn. But I look at Auburn
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: I think football more than I think basketball.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Hey, did you know that TBT dot com was the
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Tampa Bay Times, not the TVT.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Absolutely the best newspaper in the Tampa Bay area. I've
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: always read Tampa Bay Times. Yeah, it used to be
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: called something else, by the way, it used to be
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: called the Saint Pete Times. Huh, But yeah, yeah, TBT.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: I love that you did that. But all right, yeah,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: war war ready. They're a non alumni team, really war ready.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: So I bet they didn't play at Auburn, did they?
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: I bet a number of them did. Maybe it might
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: have been one of those things. They couldn't get seven,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: so they couldn't field an alumni team. Okay, well well
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: u K barely did. But I don't know. It's just
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: I just how many more years you think this will last?
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Because there's no way Aaron Harrison, Willie Caley Stein, the
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: DeAndre Liggins are going to be playing within the next
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: year or two. Does it make more sense to go
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: to a model where this thing isn't every summer? Does
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: it make more sense to go like every other summer
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: or everything year. I think if you did something like that,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: it would become even more uninteresting. People will loose, will
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: miss out. Just like with different shows that are streamed,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: you gotta wait an entire another year for it to
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: come back, and then you forget about it and you
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: don't watch it. There's a number of streaming shows that
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: I have totally forgotten. I loved a show called Shrinking
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: with Harrison Ford. Thought it was awesome, hilarious, loved every
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: second of it. I've completely forgotten about it and I
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: haven't gone back to watch. So I kind of feel
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: like TBT. If you did that to where you're playing
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: it every other year, you might forget about it. It's like,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: oh that's going on again. Yeah, I'm not interested anymore.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: What about every four years now?
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: I just think, I mean, then at that point, you're
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: getting those four years to build up the anticipation.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Maybe, so I mean, you do it like an Olympic thing,
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: do it like a World Cup thing, it might and
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: then you might get a lot more interest in the players.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Hey I want to play in this. And you save
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: the money and you make it maybe a four or
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: five million dollar tournament. Yeah, that might draw more interest.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: I can see that, but yeah, I think having it
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: every year it's a out the fizz away. I mean,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: the excitement's not there anymore. And look at the game
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: for UK night before last. They couldn't even they filled
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: it up Sunday, but they couldn't even halfway fill it up. Uh.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: The other night, it's like, Okay, are we not going
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: because we feel like we're gonna lose the U of
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: l Are we not going because what the other night?
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: One night was enough? Makes you wonder what the crowd's
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: gonna be like on Sunday. I worry about that. I
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: worry that it'll be even less people than we're there,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Uh to see them eliminate the bill. I do worry
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: about that. But uh uh, I think that one thing
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: that's going on that's really irritating me that I want
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: to I want to address. So a good friend of mine,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: as you know, the one and only Vince Merrill, attended
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: the game in Lexington the other night, and there is
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: a radio host here in town we were remain nameless
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: that called him out for going to Lexington and getting
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: pictures with UK media and saying you're wearing a blue shirt,
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: you're not even a U of L guy, and telling
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: him he needs to leave, and Vince he can't help himself.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: I listen, I consider Vince Merrill one of my closest friends,
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: and he couldn't help himself, which I wish he would
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: help himself. But he tweeted back, dude, I was there.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: I had on a green shirt. And now you got
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: people on both sides uk U of L. Then you
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: got people at U of L that are split saying, dude,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: he's just a party. You know the same thing you
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: said about Kenny Payne the other day that he's there
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: to destroy. He's not there to destroy any program at all.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: Neither was Kenny Payne. But it's just like, this is
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: getting ridiculous to where U of our media member is
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: calling out one of their coaches that he's really not
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: a U of L fan. What do you need real sports?
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: Do we really? What do you mean by that?
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: I mean there's just there's nothing going on, so that's
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: why you get situations like this.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: But isn't that ridiculous? I mean, I can't imagine calling
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: out one of your coaches because who came from your rival?
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: That's what they think, and they think he's still a
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: part of that program that he came from. I just
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: think it's silly and I would never do that if
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: that had happened, if I was vince MARYL I probably
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: would never go on that radio show again. I probably
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: would not even go on that radio station again. For
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: calling me out like that, I just thought that was
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: kind of a jerk move. I mean, the pictures I
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: saw of him with other media members, they had LS down.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: He didn't, no, and so why if they had l saim?
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: All right, all right, let me ask you this. And
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: then some people saying, well, he still loves UK. He
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: might still love UK, but he's at U of L. Now,
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: It's okay. If he spent the better part of his
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: career at UK. You mean he's all of a sudden
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: supposed to hate his time at UK and I just
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: love you and that's it. Of course, he probably and
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know this for a fact, because this is
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: one thing he and I don't talk about. I don't
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: know if he still has an infinity of UK, but
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: I can imagine he would. You gotta believe he still
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: loves UK. Yeah, And there's nothing wrong with that, Absolutely
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: nothing wrong with that. Guess what am I supposed to
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: now dislike Vince Merrill because he went to U of L.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Is that what's required of me? Here's the thing, I'll
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: tell the truth. And I've not said much about this.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Vince has gotten me to get to know Jeff Brohm,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: and I'm to the point now where I really like
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Jeff Brohm.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: What is that a problem? You're a Kentucky fanke exactly.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: You can't like him exactly. And I think that's the
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: silliest thing.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: I missed the days where you had Denny Crumb, former
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: basketball coach at University Louisville, actually had a best friend
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: named Joby Hall and they were very close. I know
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: this for a fact. And Joby Hall is the UK
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: head coach. I mean, oh my gosh, they're best friends.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine what is wrong with people liking U
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: of L that are diehard UK fans. There's nothing wrong
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: with it. I don't get this, this whole guy over
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: at the station here in town, that's all over Vince Maryland.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: I really don't. I mean, I think it's rather silly
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: and kind of sad. Like I said, you don't have
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: anything to talk about? Yeah, I guess so, I guess.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: So.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: It just it makes the guy look like a clown.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: It just does because that's that's the part of ryle.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: You've heard me say this, haven't you. That's the part
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: of rivalries I hate the most is because it brings
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: in that one word hate. I just hate the word hate.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: And I don't want to hate U of L. I
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: don't want to hate Tennessee. I don't want to hate Duke.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: That takes too much energy out. It's just like they're
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: a good team. I get a little envious of them.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Good for them for succeeding, but I'm not gonna sit
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: here and hate on them. I just That's why I
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: will never hate you of L. I just don't. And
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: that's why I just I like to tease them. But anyway,
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: I just it's kind of sad that this guy's called
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: that Vince Merrill, And I'm not gonna dislike him because
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: he went to U of L. I'm good with it.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: He had an opportunity, had an opportunity to go work
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: with a good friend, and guess what the other good
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: friend he was working with, what we're treating him really well?
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: So he saw the end and he's no longer there exactly,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: he could have been out of a job at foresight. Well. Absolutely,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: do I think Vince would ever go back if the
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: opportunity to present itself to the UK, Absolutely he would,
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: and part of him does miss I'm sure miss UK.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: And that's okay. Don't worry about U of L people.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: It's okay if he misses a place he worked for
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: a long time and put a lot of energy in
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: a lot of his time and made a lot of
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: money there. Now he's at your school, celebrated. Don't hate it.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, man, I just it makes part of
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: me gets me upset about that. Part of me makes
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: me laugh about it. I don't know how to feel
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: about this, but just frustrated me a little bit. I
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: get it.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't realize it got as big as it did,
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: but it's true.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Oh it's gotten really bad on Twitter and it seems
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: to be getting bigger and bigger. And that's where I
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: think Vince is, like, Vince, get off Twitter, man, you
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: don't need to be talking about this. You're you're actually
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: fueling this and all these UOFL fans are really calling
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: out on both sides. They're they're either pro Vince or
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: they're pro with the little radio guy over there at
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: ESPN said, So, I just I just shut up. Anyway,
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: all the y'all should shut up. But whatever you want.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: If you want to support Finnce, go ahead, but I
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: listen to you want to keep a great coach and
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: a great recruiter. Uh, those haters better shut up. So anyway,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: I just I just feel bad for him. So is
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: it wrong for me to like Jeff Brahm and Vince Merril? Exactly?
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: I would you like a coach if he went from
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: IU to Purdue depends how I felt about him before,
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: if you were good friends with him, I mean, yeah,
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: probably exactly. So I just I don't like the hate stuff.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: I just I don't. I liked it when and I
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: think Dinny Crumb and Joby Hall did a phenomenal job
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: at really showing people that, hey, we can still be
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: best friends even though we coach two different schools that
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: are competitors. Anyway, I just and I think what refueled
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: it back is the whole John Caliperi Rick Patino thing
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: that made it negative again. I just I'd like to
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: see it positive, that we can celebrate everyone's success anyway,
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: all right, I don't mean to get on that bandwagon
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: note that I know. Sorry about that, but it just
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: kind of frustrated me. I just can't imagine. Do you
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: think that I believe will Stein still roots for you?
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Of well, he might, No, you don't think so at all.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Like I said the earlier this week, I don't think
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: he ever did. Maybe not. I don't know if I
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: agree with I think he did. I think he when
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: he was on that team, I definitely think he did. Yeah,
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, and he probably wanted UK to lose every
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: single game because UK didn't recruit him. No, I do.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: I guarantee you he wanted UK to lose every single
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: game because he was jealous that he wasn't ask to
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: go play for his beloved school. I couldn't buy that
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: I could anyway, all right, five O two three eight
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: four fourteen fifty. If you want to call in five
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: oh two four one four fourteen fifty, if you want
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: to text it. I'd like to hear from our U
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: of L friends that listen to this show and see
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: what they think. That's what I would like to hear.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: And then are UK friends that you know that might
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: disagree with you? Tell me why you disagree. We'll talk
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: about it. Uh, but anyway, we gotta take I've gone
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: John one long and I'm sorry about that. Tho, yeah,
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: I know longer than that. So stay right there. We
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: got a lot more of just the cats coming right up.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Fy Jean Sweet firm club is looking at her. See
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: it last time?
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: So no, no, no, no, no no.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: The okay, that's quite a clip. You go from flow
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Rada to this.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: Well I was I was gonna come back with another
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: song similar to Florada. Yes, but then I remember last
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: minute that Okay, Oh that's right.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: This song is called Tequila. I forgot that, Okay, all right, then,
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: well I'll accept that. That's why I put it five
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: two four one four fourteen fifty one text in on
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: the Whisky Thief text line. As one person just did, Scoots,
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: the Steelers should look into getting your boy, Pavia. It
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: would be a dream scenario. You'd have one quarterback on
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: the team who was disowned by his family and another
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: quarterback who has a certain family member that a lot
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: of people would love to get close to. Not only that,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: but both quarterbacks have a track record of having a
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: great uh having great personalities.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: I'm out on Pavia far away from the Steelers as
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: humanly possible.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: You dislike him so much and you think his mom
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: would save you know, his the affinity that you have
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: for him, So can't come out and say, bleep the
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: voters after the heisman. Okay, all right, well see I
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: agree with that. I mean I think that, uh, that
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: really hurt his stock more ways than he'll ever know.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: He just he came off looking like such a baby. Yeah,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: he looked like a douchebag. I mean, let's just say it.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: He just came across as man. Is that the real
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: Diego Pavia right there? You don't do stuff, and you
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: gotta believe his agent is like, dude, you just you
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: took so much money out of your pocket and mine.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: I firmly believe that John here. Hey, Michael, I hope
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Lot Familia continues to find ways to win. I'm looking
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: forward to watching them play. I also agree with you, Michael,
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: when it comes to Diego Pavia. The young man has
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: a lot of confidence and does have the numbers to
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: back it up. He is like the old video game
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: character Mega Man on the football field. I hope my
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Chiefs can pick him up. Look, if any coach can
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: fix a couple a little attitude problem, that is Andy Reid,
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Diego Pavia would benefit a lot with playing behind mahomes
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: and learning. What do you think about Andy Reid? I
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: like Candy Reid. I do too. By the way, I
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: think one of my favorite commercials was when he was
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: doing the whole State Farm thing and he's painting what
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: mustaches or all kinds of stuff on people's faces, and
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: then he acts like he didn't do anything wrong. I
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: thought he was hilarious. No, that wasn't as good as
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: the Nuggies one. I don't remember the Nuggies one.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: Or he was like he reached his hand over the table.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: He's like, let's try again with those Nuggies.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: Don't remember that. Okay. One person said get a needle
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: and help to keep poking the splinter. Okay, so there
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: you go. I just need a needle, and I think
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: I'm good to go. You just need a needle, yeah,
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: and I think I'm good. I see. Why would you
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: want to take a needle? Is I just hold on?
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: When you can just take a pair of tweezers that
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: are blunt and not sharp and pick it out that way?
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: Because that's not they they advise that you break the
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: skin with the needle.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: You can break the skin with tweezers, not with Yes, you.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: Can now with as painful as it is. Michael, I'm
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: the one that has it on my finger when you're
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: you're If I could transfer it to you and try
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: to watch you take it out with tweezers, I would
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: love to.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: But I that's what I do every time. I prefer
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: tweezers over needles.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, I do too, but I don't have a
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: choice with this one. I can't get it with tweezers, Okay,
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: even if they're sharp points.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: One person said, or Josh said, TBT should be done
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: every two years, So there you go. That's his choice.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: Every two years. Okay, I'd be down with that. I
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: just think within two years it's still a little too much,
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: and then you forget about that year, and then I
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: don't know. I mean, I'm sure this is the livelihood
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: of the people that have developed this tournament. So they
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: want to have that paycheck every single year. Well, you're
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: getting to a point now where you're not gonna have
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: a paycheck at all because of this tournament. It's just
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: gonna be done, and I just think this is the
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: last year. Who is UK gonna get next year? Again?
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: I look at the players that are on this team now,
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: I see no way DeAndre Ligan's coming back. I see
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: no way Willie caley Stein coming back. And I think
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: Andrew Harrison Aaron Harri which is Andrew?
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: Do you really I think if you can get both
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: Harrison's heck, maybe at that juncture you can go out
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: and get John Wall. Maybe Oscar will have realized that
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: his NBA dreams never gonna come true and he'll come play.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, I do still think there's a number of
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: guys out there that could join this team, would want
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: to join this team and and be good for this team.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: But that's UK. Yeah, you got to get the other
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: teams too. I think UK can do that. Uh, and
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: not only I think John Wall would be fun. What
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: if you had no offense to John Hood, But what
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: if you had Rajon Rondo coaching the team, You had
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: DeMarcus Cousins out there, you have a number of the
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: players that are coming off their contracts and are done
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: with the NBA, and have them join this team. I
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: think UK would dominate this tournament and the fan base
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: would go nuts because guess what, you're getting to watch
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: a lot of players you haven't seen play in years
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: come back and play at UK. I think at that point,
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: if you get a team like that, you could fill
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: up Reperina no offense to Historic Memorial Coliseum. You go
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: play those games at ROUGH That'll be like I'm not
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: saying they'll be sold out, but I guarantee you the
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: bottom level would be full and a good portion of
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: the upper level would be full full. I'd agree with that. Yeah,
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: I think think that would be a lot of fun.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: But one person said, let's see here, let me get
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: to the right one. I am a UK fan, but
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: one of the best people I have met is Greg Brohm.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Well there you go. I think that whole family is
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: really nice. Greg Brom's the oldest, isn't he don't.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: I don't know their family tree at all. I don't
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: need I mean, he looks the oldest, so I would say, yeah.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, the more I'm around, I could see I
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: think he is the oldest if I remember correctly, Greg, Yeah,
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: Greg brom Is you got Greg, then Jeff and then
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: uh who is the last quarterback? Brian Brohm? I think
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: that's how the family tree goes. And I just I've
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: gotten to a point where I told Jeff this to
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: his face. I said, I don't want to like you,
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: but I'm starting to. He just laughs. I just I
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: enjoyed being around him. He's fun, he's a good guy.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: I think the reason he likes me is because he
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: knows I don't really want anything from him, because he did.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: I shouldn't get into that. But anyway, Craig is fifty six,
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: jeffs fifty five. Oka, Wow, one year, Brian's forty so wow.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: Sure what happened there?
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: Wow?
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: That's good, old, healthy Catholic family right there. But anyway,
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: speaking of that, I like this segue. USA today came
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: out with the best high school football teams in every state.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's hard to pick which one in
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: the state of Kentucky they consider the best. Is it
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: high school? High school? I mean from everything I've heard,
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: i'd say Boyle County, Oh would you really? Yeah? Oh No,
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: it's not the team they picked. I'm really surprised. Next
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: saying no, st X hasn't been good in a while.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: SAX was great the last two years. Trinity Trinity really
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: they picked Trinity. They were thirteen to two last season.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: I think Boyle County will interesting. I think they'll beat Trinity.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: Do you really Yeah, boll County, I tell you what,
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: they are a force to be reckoned.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: With every year. They're a power, they really are. But
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: they've gotten a lot of love this offseason.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: Have they? How do you know that I haven't paid attention.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: To follow high school football? No, I'm three four weeks
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: away from having to call some games.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Really, I think this has to be the year I
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: join you. I just I have threatened you the last
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: two Why are you laughing about that? You don't want
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: it to happen? There goes the quality of my broadcast.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: All the quality of your broadcast is gone. Really, I
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: think I add a certain you know. It feels like
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: a make a wish thing? What? Wow? You are really
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: knocking on Michael Bennett today. Thanks a lot. I think
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: I would be a great addition to your broadcast. Clearly,
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: what if I'm on the sideline reporting there? No, I'd
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: want you in the booth. You would why to control me?
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: Well? That and I just I don't know. Maybe you
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: could provide something in the booth. No, I can't provide anything.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Are you kidding? Well, then why would I have you?
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: Because it would be fun. It doesn't matter what I'm
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: providing or not. We would have fun get kicked out.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Do you have somebody else that's here on the color
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: side with you? No?
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: I do everything so long you are bite, then you
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: definitely you have to have me. I love calling you know.
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: When I first started doing football games by myself, it
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: was a real big challenge. Yeah, but now I love
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: the challenge of doing a game by myself.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Really, to me, it'd be boring. I would want to
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: back and forth, just like when you and I and
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: it is a back and forth. It's a back and
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: forth in my head.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: No, you having a conversation with me the whole time, Well,
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: it's great.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: You might want a conversation with just me. Then you
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: might like to listen to that, because you talk about
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: an argument. I would be going squirrel on everything on
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: both sides and probably not even talking about the game.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: I was just like, look at that Dann guy, Look
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: at that. No you look at the cheerleaders, look at that.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: Look at these families. They're not even watching the game.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: It's just like, neither is Michael Bennett trying to announce
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: the game.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: There is there is some stuff outside of the game
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: that you do have to talk about because you want
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: to set that scene in the environment for people, but
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: maybe not the whole game.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I like the interaction between two different people,
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: so I just feel like it would be better to
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: have two people up there with you having a good time.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you want to come to a game
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: with me for free, to follow me, Oh see, there
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: there comes the truth right there. For free. Of course,
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: you think I'm gonna be sitting there asking for money
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: and take money out of your pocket. You think I'm
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: gonna do that, You had to clarify that you have
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: to come for free. Wouldn't come out of my pocket,
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: and I would never. I would just come there because
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: I enjoy it. I just want to have fun. Yeah,
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: if there's a high school out there that wants Michael
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: Been to come there and you know, and do a game,
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: I'll be glad to do it for free. I don't care. Yeah,
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: I'll come there and talk to your student body too
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: about what it means to be a successful business person.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: And I'll describe other people that have been witnessed, not me. No,
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: that is fun. Though. I've been asked a few times
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: to come and talk about my life and uh and
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: business and and uh all kinds of stuff. I've got
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: to I have enjoyed that so many times. I've got
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: to do that in November. Oh do you really for
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: the first time in my life. Yeah, I've got to go. Wait,
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: I got to hear more about this. What are you
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: talking about?
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: So I've got to go into a classroom and basically
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: meet with these students for an hour and talk about
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: radio and what it's like to work in radio.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: Who asked you the school? What, sirle is this?
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: I guess a company that works for North Harrison, but
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: I guess a company that works within the school. I
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: guess it's technically who asked me? But yeah, yeah, I
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: told him. I didn't even hesitate. I was like, yeah,
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: I'll be there. I'm in. And then I got to thinking,
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: how the hell am I going to fill an hour
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: talking about radio?
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: I think it's easy. If there's a school out there
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: that once Michael Ben to come, I'm there. And I've
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: been asked a few times to do this. My own
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: alma mater, Christian Academy of Louisville has never asked me
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: to come back and speak, which I find funny. It's like, Okay,
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: you know how you get your alumnus to donate money
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: back to your school. You asked them to come speak
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: and I'd get money, then they don't. It makes it
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: just hear that cow. No, we're not doing that. But
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: uh anyway, I just I love speaking to young people
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: because I feel like I'm one of them, even though
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: they look at me it's like, dude, you're not one
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: of us. Yeah, I mean, I'm excited about it. I
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: just I should be.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: I don't know how to fill an hour just talking
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: about radio or I think I could maybe feel like
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: twelve minutes. In that case, you bring me and then
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: I'll open it up for questions and no, no, no,
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: but you do need to interact with them.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: They really scheduled early, by the way. I mean, this
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: is this has been a lot. It's been on the
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: calendar since April.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, wow, that's interesting. All right, we gotta take a break.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: When we come back. I want to talk a little
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: bit about football and also what did the old miss
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: guy say yesterday? Was he brilliant or is he kind
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: of a goof? I don't know. Let's talk about that
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: next stay right there. Justicat's coming up, Turned.
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: Down, Turned Down?
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: Turn who sings this song? DJ Sneak and Little John. Okay,
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: I like it when that bass hits. That's that's it.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: And you don't unfortunately, you don't get that kind of
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: bass on the radio show. But that's okay. It's just
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: it's a different way. Huh. What does that mean? I
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: like feeling the bass and I don't feel it, you know,
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: physically feeling it when you're in your car.
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: If you go back and listen to the podcas oh
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: is that okay? It happens found anywhere you search for podcasts.
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: Just search just the Cats. Okay, Yeah, thank you for
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: putting that one. Yeah, there you go, unless I forget
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: to upload it exactly, which happened yesterday. But that's okay.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: Uh ole Miss head coach Pete Golding uh is either
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: potentially the biggest jerk or is one of the most
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: brilliant guys out there today in coaching and uh with
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: his comments that he had at the SEC Football Media Days,
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: I want to raise you this quote and let's talk
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: about this because I don't even want to say anything
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: yet because I don't want to influence or encourage you
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: in any way. Okay, let me put it to you
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: this way, your reporter, would you quit your job before
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: interviewing for another job or being offered another job? No,
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: nobody would. But we have a portal we can go
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: in with a do not contact. I'm going to quit
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: my job where I'm getting paid, and I'm going to
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: go to go and saying I need a new job,
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: which nobody can call me to interview. What have we created?
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: So we've created it on a top of on top
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: of representation for these players, right, and that that's it's there,
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: that it's theirrresponsibility to make sure they get paid really
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: well and that they also have opportunities. So by design,
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: it's put a lot of people in bad positions. Let's
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: not act like recruiting in college football for the last
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: one hundred years is the most moral thing. What are
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: we talking about here? Tell me what you think justin
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: when you hear those comments, But where did this come from?
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: What do you mean this is from football? When I
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: was asking him questions, Well, okay, I just need more
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: background info. Okay, I don't feel like just hearing the quote.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: I know what's going on. You know, we had the
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: whole accusation about from Dabbos Swing and Clemson that he
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: was recruiting players and tampering with players before they were
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: in the portal and he was trying to encourage them
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: to leave Clemson and come to Old Miss, And Dabo
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: Sweeney started poking the bear and say, listen, you got
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: this new guy at Old Miss, that Pete Golding, that's
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: tampering with my players. Okay, yeah, so somebody was asking
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: about all this. I saw this comment, and I'm like, man,
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: that sounds like a real jerk. But then when I
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: started thinking about it, He's not wrong, no at all.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: He's absolutely and so to me it kind of changed
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: how I felt about because to me, Pete Golding was
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: coming across as a real jerk, even more so than
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: Lane Kiffen. But honestly, he's right about everything he's saying. Here,
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: what do you think he is? I'm right there with you.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's a lot of things within college athletics
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: that I'm not a fan of, and that's gotta be
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: one of numb top of the list.
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: Exactly. Yeah, I mean it is ridiculous. I mean, but
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: at the end of the day. You have to fill
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: a team. But that's not always an easy thing to do,
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: especially when, like he said, there's guys in the portal
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: where do not contact Now did you know this? Did
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: you know if somebody enters the portal with it do
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: not contact That doesn't mean don't contact them, That just
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: means contact my agent.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: So I didn't know that. Really, it literally.
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: Means just do not contact me, as the player, contact
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: my agent. Yeuh, okay, I learned that recently and I
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: was like, oh, that's fascinating.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: That's interesting. Okay, yeah, but you know what he is
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: right though, well you shouldn't. It does happen people quit
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: their jobs without having another job in line, and there
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: have been mistakes. Man. I've got a guy I've known
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: for a long time that quit his job and didn't
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: have the next job in line, and guess what, he's
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: still looking for another job. You just don't do that.
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: But this whole situation where we're doing too much for
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: the athletes and there has to be some give and take.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: And right now, the athletes in college today are taking
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: too much, and you know what, they're not giving back
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: to the schools. And I think the coaches are getting
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: tired of it.
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: Athletes in general are taking too much professional college, every
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: level of sports.
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: Guys are getting paid too much. Oh oh, absolutely they're
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: getting paid too much. But I just I want to
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: talk about this a little more when we come back,
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: because you're right about that. But I think there's too
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: much take on the college side than there is on
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: the pro side, because I still think that the teams
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: in professional sports, I think it's pretty even up there.
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: College it's not at all. It's not, especially when you
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: can leave and come and go as you want to
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: over school after a year, no contract, nothing, there's no loyalty,
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: there's nothing there anymore. And I'm just just like, dudes,
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: y'all gotta change this somehow, some way. And the thought
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: of you've got the tampering going on with players, and
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: then the thought of what uh Sankee said earlier this
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: week that we're gonna do self governance. Man, that's gonna
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: be even worse. That's just a a uh prescription for
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: just a total debacle in COUG sports. We gotta take
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: a break. Hour two coming right.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: Up, Welcome to Just the Cats with Michael Bennett.
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: All right now number two on this Friday, as we
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: get ready to take off and have a nice weekend,
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: which I'm looking forward to.

• 47:07
  Speaker 3: longer have plans. Michael Bennett, splinter is out of my finger.

• 47:21
  Speaker 2: the weekend.

  Speaker 3: getting that splinter out of my finger. I did it
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: on Friday. You really the rest of the weekend free.
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: I can't imagine having a whole weekend planned around getting
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: a splinter out of your finger. Wow, that's that's now.
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: I'm beginning to understand why you don't have a girlfriend
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: or a wife, So that's your whole plan. Can you
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: imagine telling your wife, honey, I'm sorry, we can't do
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: anything this weekend. My plans are to get the splinter
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: out of my finger. Yep, sorry, all right, I'm sorry.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: LSU coach Lane Kiffin told ESPN that he regretted how
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: he handled his exit from Old Miss before last uh
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: UH season's college football playoff. Do you believe him? Yeah,
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, do you really.
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: It's human nature to have regrets with certain situations, So yeah,
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: I believe.
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: But he continues to have regrets though, and he doesn't
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: change his ways, kind of like how he left Tennessee.
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: You know, he left there at the middle of the
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: night and heads out to California, and then he kind
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: of does the same thing with old Miss. He's in
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: the leads in the middle of night, goes to LSU
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: before the playoffs. I mean, I think that was a
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: major mistake on his part. Oh yeah, and he'll he'll
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: think about that the rest of his life. Absolutely, It's
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: the it's the whole what if thing if he had stay. See,
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: I don't think so either. Now hold on, now you
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: answer that quickly because and I thought, oh wait, you're
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: an IU fan. Let's let's think about this. Take outside
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: the box. Okay, take your IU fandom out and be
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: realistic about this. Do you think that Miss could have
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: won last year against IU? No?
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: No, I don't. I mean, look at look at what
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: happened in the playoffs. You beat Oregon fifty six to
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: twenty two, Alabamagon Alabama thirty eight to three. Down here
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: for Alabama. You're trying to work me up. I'm not
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: gonna let it happen. But no, old man. Maybe it's
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: a closer game than one of those two. But no,
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: they no way, yeah no, what No. I don't think
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: they get past Miami. I know I'm not convinced of that.
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: How did U have L beat Miami? That's on their
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: own field, That's what I want to know. That's the
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: to me, that's the craziest part. And then U of
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: L gets loses those games that they never If U
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: of L was as good as they thought they were,
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: they should have won the games at home and and
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: lost to Miami. But they beat Miami and lost these games.
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: They should have never lost it. At U of L
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: lose the Cow I think at I mean, yeah that Cow?
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: That was No, that was at U of L.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: Was it yes? Calbert? Is it cal Berkeley? Or I forget?
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: It was just Cow? And they lost to Cal They
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: lost to Virginia. They should have never lost those games.
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: I want I think we're going to agree who it is.
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: But who do you think the most disliked football coaches
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: in the sec between? You got Kleen de Moore, Ryan Silverfield,
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: that Arkansas ad wouldn't be him, Alex Goulish, John Somemral
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: Kirby Smart. I mean, you gotta start with the ones
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: that have been around from me, It's it's not Will Stein,
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: It's not it's Lane Kiffen, Uh, the new guy at NO,
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: the old guy at Jeff Levy a Mississippi State, Pete Golding,
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: Shane Beemer, Josh Hipel. I don't think it's Clark Lee,
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: Steve Sarcassian, Brent Vinnable, Uh, Mike what's the guy's name
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: at Texas A? And m Elko Mike Elko, Eli Drinkwitz.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: For me, honestly, it's probably Kirby. Are you kidding me?
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: Because I don't. I'm not like you. I don't have
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: I don't have a major disdain for Shane Beemer. No,
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: I didn't even think it was Shane Beemer. I don't.
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: I think Eli's a dork, but I don't really know.
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's Eli drink don't.
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: Really have anything against him either. I'm really surprised you
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: said Kirby Smart. It's just back to something I said
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: earlier this week. Is something about his face. He's got
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: that like smug look about Oh my god, he's got
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: a horrible haircut.
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: I just don't like Kirby. To me, it's the easy answer,
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: and I really surprised you swung and missed. It's like
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: Giffin because the Tennessee fans can't stand him, and now
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: the old miss fans can't stand them. And I think
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: with the way he's treated those teams, even though it's Tennessee,
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: and I think the way that he's treated a lot
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: of other media members fan bases, I think the clear
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: answer is Lane Kiffen. And like the crazy part is
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: I like Lane Kiffin. I think he's a great coach.
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: I loved his dad, who is a defensive coordinator at
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, for many years. But Lane's different.
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't like his personal life. I don't
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: like him, but for some reason, as a coach, I
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: think he's a phenomenal coach. I think he's even better recruiter.
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: But I think he is probably the villain of the SEC. Now,
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: who would be number two for you? Probably Lane? Okay,
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: so you pick Kirby smart who I was gonna say,
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: I would think Kirby spart is probably the most well
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: liked within the Secon.
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: I mean I respect Kirby Smart, don't get me wrong.
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: Like what he's able to do in the team he's
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: able to put together each and every year has been
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: ridiculously impressive. But I just I don't know, he just huh.
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: He comes off whiny to me. Yeah, and that for that,
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: I don't much care.
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: I think clark Lee is as well respected at Vanderbilt
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: because of what he's done there the last couple of seasons.
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: He's taking a team that has been just a dumpster
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: fire for many years other than the time James Franklin
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: was there. I respected James Franklin for what he did
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: at Vanderbilt. I mean he was beating Tennessee and Kentucky
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: on a regular basis, beating Tennessee at Tennessee. Clark Lee
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: is doing the same thing. I think Clark Lee should
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: be one of the most well respected and will like
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: coaches in the SEC for now. For now, You're exactly correct.
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: That'll change. I don't know why do you think it'll
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: change once?
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, if God forbid, he turns Vanderbilt into a powerhouse,
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: he could. That's what the name you're hearing every year
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: in regards to the SEC then yeah, you're that's eventually
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: gonna get old.
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: In this day and age of the nil who has
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: the most money in the SEC. I'm gonna really it's
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: gonna be between Texas A and m Oklahoma and Texas
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: and then right behind them, and they could turn it
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: around and make it them. One of the top ones
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: is gonna be Vanderbilt. As much as people don't like this,
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: Vanderbilt when they started making a consorted effort to bring
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: up their athletic department, they started raising money and it
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: became real easy for them. And the other part that's
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: really nice for them. They're private schools, so they don't
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: have to disclose anything, so they can go out and
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: spend as much as they want. You see the basketball
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: team playing better, and now you're gonna see the football
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: team continue to play better. I'm here to tell you
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: Vanderbilt athletics is here to stay as long as they
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: keep putting that effort into what their president does want
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: to do and do college athletics, and they're specifically Vanderbilt's
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: athletic program.
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, they're definitely on a really good rise. They're
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: on a good, steady incline over the last handful of years.
• 55:13
  Speaker 3: So I mentioned it actually earlier this week on my show.
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: But you tell me in ten years that Vanderbilt's the
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: team we're talking about in the SEC year in and
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: year out. Yeah, probably wouldn't necessarily surprise me with the
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: way that they're on the rise.
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: Now to I think Shane Biemer is one of the
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: most disliked in the SEC. No, I think he's only
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: disliked right now at Kentucky because he continues to be Kentucky.
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's kind of irrelevant in the landscape. Absolutely,
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: I would agree with that. I think josh Iipel's becoming irrelevant.
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: There was an article I read yesterday where he's the
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: most underrated SEC football coach and I'm like, what what
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: are you talking about? He he hasn't really done anything
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: at Tennessee, and Tennessee really believes they should be in
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: the College Football Playoffs and win a national times. I
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: just I don't see that. I see. I'm really surprised you.
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know why you dislike Kirby Smart. I wish
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: I could I do too, But the Goofiest, Yeah, it's
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: gonna be Shane Beemer and Eli Drinkwoodz.
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: What did you call drink woods. Dorkowitz Dorkowitz. That's a
• 56:17
  Speaker 3: perfect name for him. By the way, I do like
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: that name. So, uh, the Raiders can take a huge
• 56:23
  Speaker 3: sigh of relief. Did you see where they finally got
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: an agreement in the signed contract with Fernando Mendoza.
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: They never did disclose though, did they. I didn't see
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: any reports out there that said he got the lumps
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: or he's getting it installments. Did you see anything? I
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: find that funny that they're not disclosing.
• 56:45
  Speaker 3: They just they just said fully guaranteed. Yeah, and that
• 56:48
  Speaker 3: doesn't mean anything. So who the contract? So yeah, it does.
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: I'd like to know. I'm inquiring mine's one and.
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: Oh you're a cat and curiosity killed the cat, so
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: maybe that's fair to say. But uh, okay, all right then,
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: I just I thought that was funny, and I'm like, okay,
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: well they did it. He's now showing up for camp,
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: he's now playing. How did they settle it? Did they?
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: Did they just meet in the middle and say, okay,
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: we won't do as many installments, We'll cut the installments
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: in half.
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: Is that okay? I don't know.
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: I think if you're a number one overall, pick what
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: you want you get That's how I would treat it.
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what would have happened if he continued to fight this?
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: But what are they not going to sign him? Yeah?
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: And he just goes somewhere else. Surely that's never happened, right, Yeah,
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. But uh, anyway, I thought that
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: was kind of funny. All right, UK basketball they have
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: now offered between a class of twenty seven, twenty eight
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: and twenty nine thirty one scholarships. Holy moly. Yeah, and
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: class of twenty seven they've offered twenty. Class of twenty eight,
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: they've offered nine. In class of twenty nine, they've offered two. Man,
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: when I read this, I'm like, okay, I gotta see
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: the comments, and I didn't see a single positive comment
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: about this. Why all the swings and misses. That's what
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: a lot of people are saying, Oh great, another thirty
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: one scholarship's offered in Pope gets none.
• 58:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's simply not gonna happen. Out of thirty one.
• 58:37
  Speaker 3: You're telling me he's gonna get zero, those guys, Come on,
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm telling you. Everybody was a good majority
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: of the comments were about swinging miss swinging myths.
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: What if they all said yes, though, I mean, why
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: do you give I understand you you're playing with numbers here,
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: but twenty seems kind of high to me, does it
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: not thought account of you have what twelve?
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: Yes, a little bit, but yeah, that allows you some
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: room to swing in miss and quite frankly, the whole
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: swinging miss narrative, that's got to go away after the
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: Mom Chilovich thing, right that.
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: But he has had a lot of swinging missus.
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, let's be honest, Yes, but that but that signing
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: alone should have taken that narrative away at least for
• 59:20
  Speaker 3: a little bit. And maybe it did for a week
• 59:22
  Speaker 3: or two, but that should not be the narrative right
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: now with Mark Pope. Let let it play out. Let
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: it see what he lands in the twenty twenty seven class.
• 59:32
  Speaker 3: It is there, you've already got Ryan Hampton. Was that
• 59:34
  Speaker 3: a swing in a miss?
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah?
• 59:36
  Speaker 3: So your last swings that you've taken, you could make
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: the argument that you've knocked out of the park. And
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: if I'm getting two homers on two swings, even from
• 59:45
  Speaker 3: a guy who's batting a hundred, that's fine. I'm good
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: with that bat and a what one hundred, one hundred,
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: one hundred. Yeah, one hundred. I'm used to that because
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: all my red legs are bat in a hundred. Oh boy,
• 59:58
  Speaker 3: I want to talk about that now. Oh yeah we are.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: Oh we don't have to, but yeah, that's I just
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: I love how you just mispronounced that. And it makes
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: me happy because I'm mispronounced. It's a bat in a hundred.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: He's mispronounced that. Oh you said one hundred, one hundred,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: one hundred, one hundred. You did not say a hundred.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: You said a hundred.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: I love that. I just said it fast. It was
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: my southern that's okay, and I like that even though
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: you're from Indiana, you got a little bit of South
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: ask you're absolutely correct. I don't like that you called
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: me out on that because I think I nailed it.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: No you didn't. It's okay. I like the way you said.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: That's the why I would say it is a hundred.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: It's the same way. But uh uh, PGA is playing
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: in Minnesota. It's the three M. H Do you know
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: what three M stands for? Isn't it like a tape company? Yes,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: they they're a tape company. They're all kinds of company.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: I would say three meter. Uh, it's Minnesota Mining and
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: something else. They're based in Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota Mining. I
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: don't remember what it is.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: But oh wait, so when it says three m, it
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 3: literally means three. It means three ms. You're exactly correct.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: If somebody knows that, texts me right now if I
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 3: will two four one four fourteen fifty. But it's yeah,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 3: it's three. It's literally three ms.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: All right, Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing. There you go. So
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: how do you like that? I was almost close? Jake Napp?
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: Did you see him hit the golf ball in a
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: part three yesterday? Was this the hole in one?
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: Yes? That should have been exactly that was? How crazy
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: was that? I'd be so much That.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: Ball literally hits the ground, hits the pin, goes in
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: the hole and bounces back out. I don't understand if
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: it hits the pin like that when it goes in
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: the hole, should it be counted as a hole in one?
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: Not if it doesn't stay in?
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 3: No?
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: Really, Okay you could tell the disgust and frustration from
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: his face. That was an amazing shot to watch. It was. Yeah,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: have you ever gotten close to a hole in one?
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: I've been within a foot or so, maybe two three times?
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: Have you? But I think I'm gonna get out in
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: golf today and I'm probably gonna have one to you said,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: you're doing nothing, so you can't do that. No, you
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: can't go play golf.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 3: Roommate, roommate, just hit me up. He's off today, wants
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 3: to golf, So maybe I'll go do that.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Well, so Gill's taking you to play?
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: Is Gil pay? And then if he invites you? Isn't
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: that the rule? When you're invited, you don't have to pay?
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: I love that rule. Okay? What does Gill do? He
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: works for a pharmaceutical company. Oh that's right. Yeah, he
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: was busy and couldn't talk to us on the phone.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: Correct because he was doing pharmaceutical things. That's right, whatever
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: that means. But uh, okay, well, I just I loved
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: the shot. I felt bad for him. I've never been
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: close to heaven. All well, I've been closed. But that's surprised.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: Not enough. Yeah, I would have thought you would have
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: had one. No, I've never had one. He must not
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: be as good as I thought. No, I'm not. I'm terrible,
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: but uh I am now because I didn't really played much.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: I played nine holes this year. That's not nearly enough. No,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: not even close. I'm so disappointed. Whereas year before last
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: I was playing every weekend at least, if not more. Well,
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: if you want to play this weekend, let me know. No,
• 1:03:03

• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: Oh of course you can ever. I get that. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, especially when they're looking at the phone and
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: seeing all the different victors. Yeah. Yeah, that's a great movie.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: By the way, But I've seen enough though, what Yeah,
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: I've seen you like as in, you don't want to
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: see it anymore. I'm just when it comes on. There
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: are certain movies that I have to watch Hangover. I've
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: seen it so much. I'm like, I'm kind of good.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: Like last night, there was a movie that came on
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: and I I've watched it. I can't tell you how
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: many times I had to watch it again. It was Moneyball, Okay,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: I think I referenced it, what yesterday or day before,
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: probably every day this week, I know, And yet here
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: it is on and I gotta watch it. So I
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: watched Moneyball last night.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: I'm the same way with Ted, Ted, are you really?
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah? Yeah? The other there, I would say, the
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: other guys is one of those step brothers. I might
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: be getting sick of step brothers. Get out of here,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: I know, and I love step brothers, but there are
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: certain movies. It's like, okay, boom, I gotta watch it. Sorry,
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: hey tell you Purple Rain is one of them too.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: Harry Potter's my other one, really, yeah, my biggest. I
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: just I loved Purple Rain. I've never seen a Harry
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: Potty Harry Potty movie, right, but uh it is.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 3: Is the.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: The key to success for UK foot fall going to
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: be Kenny Minchie? No really, I kind of feel that way,
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: but possibly you might be right. Tell me why you
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: think not.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 3: The keenest success is something we've talked about ad nauseum
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 3: for a couple of weeks now, and that's the offensive line. Okay, actually,
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 3: if you want to, you want to throw the defensive
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: line in there as well, I'll just say the line
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 3: play is what we'll carry this.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it. Because UK football has survived with
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: not very good quarterbacks. I mean, one of the best
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: seasons I had was with Terry Wilson, who was I'm
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: not gonna say he was a bad quarterback, but I
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: am going to say he was at best and average
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: quarterback for UK. Is that fair to say? Absolutely? I mean,
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: if I had my choice between Terry Wilson and Will Levis,
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: I'm probably picking Terry Wilson. That's foolish. I knew you
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: would say that, but I just I don't know.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: I just.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: There was something about Will Levis that it just didn't
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: seem right. And I was kind of surprised when the
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: Titans started. I'm not I'm not a Will Levis hater.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: I like Will Levis. I just don't think he was
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: great as everybody likes to say he was.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's just me so uh so you think the
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: key is going to be because what we're gonna talk
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: more about it, we're what forty days away from football? Yeah,
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: it's coming, which is hard to believe. Hey, do you
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: realize some schools did they start today or some start
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: next week? No? No, I'm talking about high schools, public schools.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: I think next week some public schools start. I believe Indiana.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: It's just it's just amazing how fast this summer is gone.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: And then I think it's like two or three weeks
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: before Jefferson County starts, and everybody's talking about getting ready,
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: getting all this stuff, uh, school supplies and all that
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: kind of stuff. Yeah, it's just I think Indiana, some
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: Indiana schools start next week. And then Jefferson County starts.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: I believe it's three weeks away, which is hard to first.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: Looks like there are several public school systems that start
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 3: on the fifth or the sixth.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, of August, but that's the earliest second found.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 3: Jeez, Okay, let's go no Clark County in Indiana July thirty.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: See, I told you, I'm not wrong. That's six days away.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 3: You know how ticked off i'd be if I freaking
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 3: was in high school. Still, we had to start in July.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: I never When I was a kid, we did not
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: start school until after the State Fair. And now they
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: start before the state Fair. I've never understood that. But
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: my state Fair is a great state fair.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: One person texted in so Scoots is either a Trinity hater, delusional,
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: or has been hanging out with the CNX jam Boys
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: over on Spears on sports too long, Go Rocks. I
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: can't deny any of that. I love that. I mean,
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: I think that's a great text right there.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 3: I actually am a Trinity hater, you are, Yeah, because
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 3: my sister dated this real d bag from Trinity.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: Specifically, I didn't much care for him.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and the type of guy he was because I
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 3: feel like every type of guy that I see from Trinity. Yeah, uh,
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 3: that's too bad. But I will tell you I like
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 3: Kickback Joey. Kick Back Joey's following me on Twitter, so
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 3: I appreciate that. Kicks back joe that's a great name.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 3: By the way, keep back Joey.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: I like that. I'm gonna have to follow kick back Joey.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: Lamont Butler is my goat, is what he says. So okay,
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you love Lamont Butler. But one person texted
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: and said, who knew Michael had issues with cal long
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: before cal Perry? Hell yeah, it's good text? Is it? Really?
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: People are going to never let that live down? Are they?
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 3: That?
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: With the whole cow thing? But all right, he was
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: talking about Christian Academy lit. Oh oh, oh get it?
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: Oh oh, I got it. Yeah. I haven't really supported
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: the high school I went to. I don't know. I
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: just I got kicked out of the school that I
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: really loved, which will remain nameless. And I didn't get
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: kicked out for reasons. You think I get kicked out
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: for reasons that I went in to a great student.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: So I got kicked out of that private school because
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: they didn't think I was smart, so they made me
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: feel dumb. He said his teacher's name wrong one too
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: many times. Who said that? You probably?
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 3: So that's that's what If I had to guess why
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 3: you got kicked out, it's because you said your teacher's
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 3: name wrong.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: No, it's because I didn't make good grades. They didn't
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: identify that I had ADHD and so anyway, and that's okay.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: Just I was always disappointed. I never got to graduate
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: from the school that I loved. Instead, I had to
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: go to Christian Academy who took me in? I should
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: love Christian Academy, but I don't know. I just I
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: didn't feel I felt I had friends there, don't get
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: me wrong, but I just didn't feel connected to them.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know one of my guys I really like
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: I still talk to every now and then. But anyway,
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: is this for us?
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 3: I don't get this to USA men's hockey team defeated
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 3: the USA women's team on celebrity family feud went to
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 3: sudden death?
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: Am I right where I? Is that for us?
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 3: No? That was for me?
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: Oh that was for you.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 3: I got to look at the timestance it says nine
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 3: ten am, Holly resent it. Yeah, well there you go,
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 3: then it's for us. Okay, I didn't watch that, but
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 3: did I see it correctly? Where Barstool Sports didn't score
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 3: any points on that show?
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: Oh? Really? Yeah, Scoots. When you get home, soak your
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: finger in the warmest epsin salts water. You can tolerate.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: It'll pull the soreness out. All good grooms know about
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: epsom salt. Oh this is from forty eight handle it is. Yeah,
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: I'm good now forty handling. Thank you though, but it'll
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: probably helped it heal though, so you might still want
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: to do that maybe. So Yeah, last year Pope messed
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: up with Stokes. It will it will be different this year.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: By the way. People who still say with our clowns,
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: I yeah, I don't know if they're Yeah, I can
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: see what you mean their clowns. But on the other hand,
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: they're not wrong. It's been they're frustrated. They're frustrated fans
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: that heard a coach come in here saying he's gonna
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: make the environment different and he just hasn't succeeded, not
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: to his complete fault. Part of it is his fault.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: But man, when you get all these injuries like he's had,
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: that's not his fault. It is frustrating. And I think
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: Texter those fans that keep saying with swinging, with swinging
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: a miss and all that kind of stuff, I think
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: they're just frustrated because they want to win so badly,
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: and it'd be nice if they just kept the swinging
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: a whift to themselves. And I get that from that part.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: I did see where I haven't talked to him yet,
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: but I need to call Jack Gibbons and where Jack
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: is like really promoting this team. He says year three
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: of Mark Pope is completely different. He sees a lot
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: of difference and a lot of improvement in this team,
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: and he's real excited about this.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 3: So I do.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: When Jack Gibbons speaks, justin Michael Bennett listens, and I
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: wish more people would listen to Jack Gibbons. Yes, I
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: miss Mike Pratt. Mike Pratt was a dear friend, and
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: I mean a dear friend. But Jack Gibbons has done
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: has improved every year he's been colored with Tom Lee
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: Jump Basketball, and I think he's doing a phenomenal job
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: and he's been a great replacement for Mike Pratt. Man,
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you, listen to what Mike Jack Gibbons is saying.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, it sounds similar to what Tubby was telling
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: us last week. Yes, that was a fun interview. By
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: the way, I've gone back and listened to part of that,
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: not all of it, but part of it, and I
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: enjoyed what a lot of things he said. The fact
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: that he said, I don't know if I really would
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: give advice to Mark Pope. I was kind of surprised
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: by that, were you very much?
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 4: So?
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, But I mean he's, like he said, he's he's
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 3: been at practice earlier this spring. He's seen this team
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 3: and knows what they can be capable of. So I
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 3: took that as a positive when Tubby was talking about that.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: Exactly John here justin oneharmercent correct with a swing and missed.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: It has to go. Coach Pope still managed to put
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: together a roster that looked solid plus Ryan Hampton already
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: for the next for the next year plus more to come. People, please,
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: people move past the narrative about Coach Hope. I see,
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: I get that, and I understand and I probably agree
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: with that. One person said, uh, hold on, said hold on, No,
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: they did not say that. I got a Tampa Bay
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 2: Ray's question yesterday during Roll Call trivia. Right, that's just
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: from Patrick. The question was who leads the Rays in
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 2: career home runs? Yeah?
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 3: Does he have the answer on there? No, he doesn't, Okay,
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 3: So who would you say it is? It's pretty easy,
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 3: is it really? Yeah? I mean if you think about
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 3: the Rays and who played there for the longest and
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 3: who was really there for their entire career.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: Evan Longoria exactly? Oh is it really Evan Longoria? Well,
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 2: you know, they just put him into the Ray's Hall
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: of Fame. I think it was last week. I loved
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: Evan Longoria. Yeah, and a great person on top of
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: it all. He was one of my favorites. So I
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: got it correct too. From Corey Price. Also, I'm going
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: up to Minnesota on a plane today for my dad
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: and i's MLB trip. This is really cool. I'm jealous
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: of you. We are seeing the Saint Paul Saints on
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: Saturday and the Minnesota Twins on Sunday in ninety six
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: degree weather or so. Oh wow, that's amazing. Then he
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: puts the answer under there. The answer was Evan Longoria.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: I already got it right, so thank you. I appreciate that.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: That's pretty freaking cool. Patrick. Good for y'all. That's one
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: of those things when I hear people doing this kind
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 2: of stuff, I get real jealous of that. I've got
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: a good friend down Sorry about that, Josh Caviswift. I've
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: got a guy I know down in New Orleans. He
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: has taken his name Stan Gorman. Used to live here
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: in Louisville, and he moved back home to New Orleans,
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: and he has taken his son to every ballpark in
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: Major League Baseball. I've been to a good portion of them.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: Would you like to do that? Yeah?
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 3: I mean eventually, if I'm in the financial position and
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 3: I'm able to retire and don't really have much going on,
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 3: that would be awesome.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But I don't see that ever happening, because what
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: is it about baseball? People do this with more than
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: they do it with like, for instance, the NBA, the
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: NFL hockey. Why do they do baseball more than any
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: other one? What is so special about the baseball venues?
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: Don't they have more character than anywhere else? You think
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: that's what it is?
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the new stadiums really don't have character.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 3: There's some cool football stadiums that have character and then
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 3: are old. But if you think about all the baseball
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 3: majority of them are are pretty old. Other than the
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 3: few that have been built within the last decade or so.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think most of them are brand new. No,
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: you got Dodger Stadium, that's one of the original ones.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: You got Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs. What else is
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: there besides those three? Atlanta they're on there like fourth
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: or fifth Stadium. Yankee Stadium is now not the original
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: Mets you got? There's nothing else.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 3: My point stands, I'm not so caught up on the
• 1:18:07

• 1:20:35
  Speaker 2: this is in sync? Is the proper. Sorry, I'm miss print.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 2: I didn't mean to pronounce it instinct, but that's kind
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: of how I felt. But okay, so instinct, that's not
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: the that's not the ones from Kentucky? Right? Wait? What
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 2: who's from Kentucky? The boy bands? You got two singers

• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: come on, you know who stret Backstreet Boys? Yeah, two
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: of them are from uh, Kentucky. One of them is
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: a huge uh uh. He used to listen to me
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: at the old Race radio station. I don't know if
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: he listens to me on the new one, but he
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: didn't realize. Yeah, the tall guy, Kevin Richardson and Brian Latrulle. Yeah,
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: Kevin used to listen to me at the old station
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: because he came up to me at a football game,
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: said Michael Bennet, iced to meet you, and I'm like, who,
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 2: I didn't know who he was. And my niece was
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 2: with me and she went nuts, Oh my gosh, oh yeah,
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: she loved Backstreet Boys. I don't know. And I started
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: to listen to my Okay, there's a couple of songs
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 2: on there that I can't.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 3: They were really, really really good for like a two
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 3: three year span there really, Yeah, that was that was
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 3: back when boy bands just ruled the world.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 2: Really, but it's kind of fake though. That's the part
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: of music back then. I didn't like. They were just
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 2: kind of manufacturing and put together. There's no originality, that's true.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 2: And and uh, and then of course the instinct guy,
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: the one broke off, the one that used to date
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 2: Britney Spears. I don't know what his name is, but
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: he broke off and did his own thing. And but yeah,
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 2: you don't even know who I'm talking about there, do you.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: That's okay? Justin Timberlake, Timberlake, Justin Timberlin, who was actually
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 2: pretty good actor. He was in that base He was
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 2: in that movie with Clint Eastwood, the Baseball movie that
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 2: was so good. Uh, slow with a curve or can't
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 2: do something with a curve or something like that. He
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: was good in that movie. I've heard of that. Oh,
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: really trouble, Trouble with the curve. That's it with Clint Eastwood.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 2: You've never seen that movie. That's a good movie. Yeah
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 2: you I really liked that one. And I will admit
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 2: Justin Timberlake was really good in that movie. So then
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 2: I became jealous of them because he who he married.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: But I think they're they're separated right now, aren't they?
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 2: Is that who? No, somebody else he's dating and he's
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: married to another lady show she was in that movie
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: with Adam Sandler. I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry. Oh,
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 2: Jessica Biel. Yes, and I think they're separated. So you know,
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 2: we all have a shot right now. Just they are
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: still legally but it does say they're separated. M not really?
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, all right then.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 2: Former Cincinnati Reds first baseball first baseman Joey Vato is
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 2: making his debut Sunday night on NBC Baseball, Right tonight
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: on Baseball. Yeah. Uh, it's gonna be an analyst. Uh,
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be the game for the Phillies versus the Yankees.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you right now, I'm disappointed. I'm disappointed
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 2: it's not a Reds game because I think that would
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 2: have been better. But that's me being selfish. Would be
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 2: good to be on well, and that's the whole point exactly. So,
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 2: because a lot of people are thinking, no, this is
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 2: not gonna work, then some people are saying this is
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: gonna be great because you know he is one of
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 2: the I'm not gonna say the most beloved players from
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 2: Cincinnati's organization, but he is one of the he'd be
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 2: top five. You think he'd be top five? Absolutely? Who
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: are the other four? Joe Morgan, you gotta put up there, Ry,
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 2: Johnny Binch, Barry Larkin's a great one. Well, I was
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 2: gonna say Pete Rose, but there's there's probably still Pete.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 2: I still think, no, no, no, no, no no. I
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 2: disagree with you. I think when you ask a die
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: hard Cincinnati Reds fan, ninety five percent of them are
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 2: gonna say they love Pete Rose, all right, So I
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 2: would go Pete Rose. Oh that's so, that's so hard.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 2: Berry Larkin's a great one.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 3: Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan, Barry Larkin, and Joey
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 3: Vodo that'd be my five.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 2: Really not the father son duo. I don't know.
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 3: Ken Griffy Junior is my favorite player ever, So I
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 3: don't know. I don't know that you wouldn't put up
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 3: there Ken Griffy.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know that he played with the Reds long
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 2: enough for me him to be one of my favorite Reds.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 2: Who do you think the most beloved manager of the
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 2: Reds is Sparky? I would say Terry Francona. What I'm kidding,
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say, yeah, I was excited when the
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 2: Reds announced they were hiring him because I thought Terry
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 2: Frank Crona because he was with he did really well
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 2: with the the Uh, look, they're the Indians, are always
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 2: going to be the Indians. To me, the reason they
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 2: changed the name is so dumb, but uh, he was
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: did a great job of the Indians, did a great
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 2: job of the Red Sox. I thought he would repeat
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: do a great job with the Reds. Does he have
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 2: much more time at the Reds? By the way, Tom
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 2: will Tell, I would say so, I hope so. I
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 2: like Terry fran Cohin. By the way, Griffy played nine
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 2: years for the Reds. I did not realize. Yeah, absolutely,
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 2: I knew. He kind of called home Seattle for sure. Yeah,
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 2: Itchi row is probably my favorite Seattle Mariner. Awesome, he
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: was a lot of fun to watch. He was awful. No,
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 2: I said he was a lot of fun to watch. Oh,
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 2: I thought you said he was awful. He was awful?
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 2: Out of Oh yeah, oh, yeah, you said he was awesome,
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 2: but yeah, ITCHI row I loved. I could name certain
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 2: players out there that I loved watching that were not
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: necessarily from my favorite team, and there is a lot
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 2: of them out there. But uh, I was liked. Was
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 2: that Edgar Martinez on the Mariners? Yeah? Sound right? I
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: always liked him. Yeah. Who was the guy that wobbled
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 2: back and forth in the batter's box that played for
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 2: the Boston Red Sox. I liked him. I can't think
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 2: of his work. Sheffield, No, Sheffield, No, this is back,
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 2: This is back in the early two thousand something like that. No,
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 2: mar No, No, it's a white guy. I think he
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 2: was from Ohio. He had a funny name, big white guy.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 2: I think played third base for the Red Sox. And
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 2: I can't think of but one person texted in no judgment, fellas,
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 2: are you?
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 3: Are you team? Backstreet Boys are instinct? That's a great
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 3: I like this question. I can't separate them.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 2: Why not you have to? I can't.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 3: They are two completely different boy bands. I mean I
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 3: can't because they both had great songs that I liked. Okay,
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 3: hang on, let me okay, if you're gonna make me pick,
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 3: I'll go I'll go Backstreet Boys.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: Why.
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 3: I just think they had a little a few more
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 3: songs that I liked than than See, and I had
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 3: to look it up for a second. I want it
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 3: that way.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 2: I do like that song. I'm embarrassed to admit it,
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: but I have to be team Backstreet Boys because the
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: two guys are from Kentucky and the one guy I
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 2: it's a huge Kentucky fan. I just listen, I'm team
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 2: Backstreet It's not even and it's not even close. I'm
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 2: with you.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 3: Now, if we throw in ninety eight degrees, does that change?
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 3: Probably not right, No, it doesn't change because there's Cincinnati
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 3: and Nick Lache. Isn't it crazy?
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 2: I remember him, but that's because he was married to
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 2: Jessica Simpson and they had that little show on TV.
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 2: I'll watch it a few times. It was rather stilly
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 2: and you could tell it was completely scripted. But I
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 2: like Nick Lache. I think he's kind of he seems
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 2: like a really nice guy. And the fact that he
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 2: used to play at King's Island. I think it was
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 2: always funny. And you go from King's Island to being
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 2: known all over the country. It's just credit to him.
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 2: And now He's the host of every single love show
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 2: there is. Is he really?
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 3: No, he is?
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 2: He hosts so many shows. Yeah. Yeah, he's kind of
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 2: like a John Cena in. I mean he's kind of everywhere.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 2: But no, I uh, I am not loved. Thank you Texter.
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 2: He just told me are you ready Kevin Yuculus? Oh
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 2: there you go? Yeah? Remember he used to stand in
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 2: the bad just wobble back and forth. Wah blah blah.
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 2: I couldn't watch him, but I liked him. He had
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 2: a crazy batting stand. Yes, thank you, texture that was perfect.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I kind of liked him. How do you
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 2: think Joey Votto is going to do on Sunday Night?
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 2: He'll kill it, you think, so, no question. Yeah, he's
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 2: Joey's very well spoken. Joey's got a He's a funny guy.
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 2: But it's kind of like a dry humor.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: Is he.
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 2: I've never really paid attention to anything he said.
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 3: Like me, personally, I don't think he's that hilarious because
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 3: dry humor is not really my thing. But if dry
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 3: humor is your thing, Joey Votto's hilarious. So he's gonna
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 3: say a lot of funny things and on top of that.
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 3: He's just ridiculously knowledgeable with the game of baseball. He's
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 3: crazy smart in yeah, he is. That's the other part
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 3: that I've always heard about Joey Votto.
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 2: But that he said it like that. What like Joey Votto.
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 2: I think it's because my boys used to kind of
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: make fun of his name, and they would always say Votto,
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 2: Joey Votto, and it just and now I'm repeating it
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 2: after all those years, and I'm now saying it the
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 2: way they would make fun of him. Yeah, Joey Votto.
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 2: So and I'm saying Joey Botto. I mean, I sound
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 2: like a surfer dude. I don't know why I said
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 2: it Joey Botto, but I did. By the way, a
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 2: little bit of breaking news, Mark Pope revealed that Cam
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 2: Williams had a second off season surgery on his foot.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 2: That's why you're seeing in the crutches around Lexington and
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 2: in the boot. So there you go. Hopefully he's ready
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 2: to go. It's it's funny Mark Pope would be all
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 2: about telling us everything in the very beginning. Now he's
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 2: kind of delaying what he's telling us. So anyway you
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 2: think he comes out and all the excitement that he has.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 2: Will see that this year like we saw last year,
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 2: as far as this team's a great shooting team where
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 2: you think he's gonna be a little more hesitating, and
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 2: he learned from his ways from last year. Now, Mark
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 2: Pope is who Mark Pop is, and I love that
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 2: about him. I see. That's the part I probably love
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 2: the most about Mark is when there's even the slightest
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 2: bit of positive news, exciting news, or something he wants
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 2: to tell everybody, And that makes me happy because that's
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 2: exactly how I am. For instance, when I go by
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 2: my wife an anniversary President, Birthday, President, Christmas present, I
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 2: can't wait to give it to her. I want to
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 2: give it to her right then. And that's so kind
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 2: of how Mark Pope is and it makes me That's
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 2: the part I probably love the most about him now.
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, well, we've already seen a sliver of him
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 2: being the same way he was last year, all as
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 2: sliver of it, yes, but I think he's kind of
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 2: muted it a little bit maybe, So, I mean, he
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 2: didn't a lot of what he said last summer turned
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 2: out to make him look like an idiot, so yeah,
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 2: it did, which which I hate right there. And uh
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 2: but and you know, going back to what the guy
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 2: was saying about the swing, the swinging missers and that
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 2: kind of stuff, I do. I'm the same way. It's like, Okay,
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 2: we get it. He's messed up on and really failed,
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 2: not failed, but missed out on some recruits. But give
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 2: him some slack. Let's just see how he does. It's
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 2: like we'll go after a year three and see where
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 2: we are.
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 3: Honestly, that's like me taking a job here at Big X.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 3: In my first two years, I accidentally skipped like three
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 3: or four commercial breaks and then no, no.
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: No, no, I'm just this is just a hypothetic Oh okay, okay.
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 3: But like let's say the first two years I've worked here,
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 3: I've I've missed four or five commercial breaks, and then
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 3: everybody starts labeling me as a commercial skipper. I'm not
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 3: a commercial skipper. I just forgot on a couple of
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 3: different occasions. That's not That's not who I am as
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 3: a whole. And I don't think the swing and the
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 3: missed thing. I don't think that's who Mark Pope.
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 2: But you know, I think the listeners out there would
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 2: be praising you for being a commerce skipper, I say,
