• 1:25
  Speaker 2: I do want to ask you a question, though, Matthew,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: are you feeling like there is more? I hate to
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: say the word We're on YouTube right now, right, yes, okay, good?
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: I hate to say the word road rage. But do
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: you notice a difference in the impatience of drivers since
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: this whole I sixty five shutdown? Uh?
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Maybe not drivers, but uh people in general, some who
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: don't literally ran out in front of my car yesterday
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: on purpose. What I was where was this right across
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: from the Thorntons right next door?
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I was driving home.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and uh, I'd just driven out to like Hike's
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Point over there to go to the grocery store real quick, okay,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: come back home, right, And I see the two guys
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: like they're just standing on the side of the road
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: looking like they're getting ready to cross. I'm maybe three
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: feet from them, and this d literally just jumps out
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: in front of my car. I'd like swerve in the other
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: lay and almost hit somebody.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh. And did you blow your horn? Yes,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: of course. And did he sit anel back at you? Uh?
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: No, Oh he didn't. He just walked across the street.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Credit him. He didn't care. Wow. I just yeah, I'm
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: noticing more and more impatience of drivers. And maybe it's
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: just me, but I feel like sometimes I have the
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: worst luck because people are always cutting me off. I
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: never understand why, but my wife will always say, no,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: it's it's not just you. It's happening to everybody. And
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: it seems like third day in a row, and the
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: can open is succeeding at a multiplier of times ten.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I think, right now are we up to We should
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: keep a count how many trucks are going through that
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: third You know we talked about it. What was it Monday? Yesterday?
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: I can't remember which. The days are just falling together
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: for me right now. The Third Street bridge has already
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: claimed five trucks. I know it was four yesterday, so
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: it was there another one today?
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I thought it was five, But maybe you're right, Maybe
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: maybe I'm wrong.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I thought it was like for the first day on Monday.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I hadn't seen it. I only knew just what people
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: had told me, so I could be wrong.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh my goodness. There was one truck that was
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: going through and all of a sudden, they showed it
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: on the news this morning. They slammed the brakes on
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: and they did not hit the bridge. It's baffling to me,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: these truckers that are just thinking they can get through
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: this bridge and they don't. But it's pure I'm sorry
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: for these guys, but it's in entertainment for me. But
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: we should keep a canniper count while these two months
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: are going on at this point. Yeah, yeah, so I think,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: all right, we'll just say four then we'll take your work.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: But h I promise you. I think there is going
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: to be more impatience possible road rage while all of
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: this is going on in the next couple of months.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I hope not. I hope people are just a little
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: more understanding and just a little more patient.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: But you don't seem to think. So that's asking a lot, Michael,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: it is. I mean, you're asking people in Louisville to
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: be patient drivers. They're not even good drivers in general. So, oh,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: you think Louisville drivers are bad drivers.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I think they're terrible. I think Indiana drivers are worse.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Let me rephrase.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I think Louisville people, when they're driving their cars are
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the most selfish drivers on the plane.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: My gosh, that's hardcore.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I think they genuinely are the like as soon as
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: people here stepping their car, they are the most oblivious
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: to other human beings on the really, yes, okay, I
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: think they believe they're in like military tanks so they
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: can just never be harmed, so they just do whatever
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: they want. Are you a nice driver or a mean driver?
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: I feel like I'm I'm in the middle, I guess.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Cause do you let people come over when they're trying
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: to come over onto the expressway from a ramp or
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: when somebody's trying to turn and you're to stop, Like
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: do you let them in front of you? All that
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: kind of stuff? Are you a courteous driver? I should say, yes,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I am. I feel like I am too. It always
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: makes me laugh when someone won't let me pull out
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: and they just act like you're not there.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Usually because what happens is what the first person, like,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: like you said, if you're trying to like you're like, oh,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I'm in the wrong lane, backs and let me get over.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: If one person doesn't let you. Then that's forty five
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: more cars that are going. Yeah, they're all following suit.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: My only criticism is going to be to the cyclists
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: out there that are driving down roads. Let's not do
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: that right now during high traffic time. Okay, when it's
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: uh morning traffic or afternoon. Let's suggest to the cyclist
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: go to a park and ride your bike. Don't go
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: being don't don't don't go down roads that are typically
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: busy at high traffic hours. I agree, that's that's one
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: thing that's really irritating me. Yeah, I don't like that. Look,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: if you like riding your bike, you like riding your bike.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: I don't like that cyclists get the same exact rules
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: that cars get. Yeah, I'm with you, especially when they're
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: going through red lights. I witnessed a couple of days ago,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: two different cyclists going through red lights. It's like, dude,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: you're gonna get run over and you're gonna blame the car.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah that's what's going to happen. Yeah, exactly. Well, I
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: do get a little irritant when it comes to bicyclists.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: I gotta watch myself. So yeah, I do get a
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: little air because you know, I use river road quite
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: a bit, and they're in the middle of the road
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: going down the River road and it just drives me nuts.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: And then you always have those ones there, Grinstead and
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Lexington and they just go through red lights. That's where
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: it happened. It's like, okay, and police officers won't give
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: them tickets. You know why, because they're not carrying their license. Well,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: if you're on a bicycle, don't you think if you're
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: gonna be on the road, on a public road, you
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: should carry your license.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I think if you're a grown man, you're wearing a
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: skin type by you have to have a license for
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: that thing.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, don't get me started on that. But I
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: don't want to listen. I'm sure they're very nice people,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: but man, they get on my nerves. I will tell
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: you that. So let's talk about a couple of things, because,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: my goodness, what a day makes. As as as far
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: as what a difference a day makes for the University
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Kentucky basketball team, I mean, it is amazing how many
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: not just the fan base. And it is fun to
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: watch that too. It's fun to see the fan base
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: go from we want somebody else to be a head coach. Oh,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Mark Pope's is awesome. It's like, just twenty four hours
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: ago you weren't happy with Mark Pope, now you're ecstatic
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: with him. The other part is the national media is
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: really going nuts for this, because there is a number
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: of national media, including Jeff Borsello John Rothstein, that didn't
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: even have UK ranked in the preseason polls the day before,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: and now all of a sudden, they're either Borzella has
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: a UK at seventeen, Rostein has UK at sixteen of
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: all places, and that's kind of where I was projecting.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: You were like outside the top twenty five, which I
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: thought you were kind of hardcore. But I think what's
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: funny is that John Rostein had UK at forty the
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: day before, and then as soon as Milan mam Chilovich
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: signed and committed with the Universe of Kentucky, he now
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: has just with that one player, Kentucky ranked sixteenth in
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: the country. What do you think about that? I don't
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: really take anything John Rostein that doesn't surprise me.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I genuinely believe John Rostein is like the world's first
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: ever AI, but he's stopped learning the first ever A.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I think he's a robot. I don't think he's a
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: real person. Really okay, I mean I don't care. I
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: don't mind it. It's off season talk is like my
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: least favorite of the year, especially the transit portal is over,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: because it's just everybody just saying, well, I think they're
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: gonna be here. Well, I think they're gonna be Like
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: you said, I feel like they're they're like a fringe
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: chop twenty five team. You think they're like seventeenth, eighteenth, sixteenth,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Like that's fine, Like anybody can have their own opinion.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: They all see it differently. It's all entirely subjective. We
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: don't know until they started playing games were like eighty
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: ninety days away from so like like way more than that.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, way.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: More than I was gonna say, Yeah, we're ninety seven
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: days away from football.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's what I was, That's what I was thinking.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Idam mixed up, But I don't know. It's just every
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: single time, whether I see a media member say that
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: like Kentucky's here, or I see them say Louisll's here,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: or they say Duke is here, I'm just like, dude,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: like we're just guessing, you know what I mean. So
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: if that's what they believe. That's they believe it's fun.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: I am too. I mean, if that's what they want
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: to believe, I kind of like it. And hopefully it's
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: uh yeah, it's one hundred and fifty days until basketball
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: season starts, so there you go. So it's still a
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: ways away and we're not going to know anything for
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: uh probably what one hundred and seventy five days if
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: this is going to be a good team or not.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Well, the only sporting event I care about is eight
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: days away.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Oh boy, I'm so excited about that too. I will
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: be will you really? Where will you? Uh? Now, I've
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: got a buddy that's going out to LA to watch
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: a game, and then he's also going to Atlanta to.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Go watch another game. Jealous of your buddy, and I
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: looked at him, I'm like, wow, is Like Michael, it's
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: the it's the world. I mean, it's it's the biggest
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: tournament on the planet.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: It is to you, it's not to me.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: No, it's like the world. It is by per capita,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: bye bye bye citizen, by fame, per capita, by fan.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: I love how you put that in there. By fan
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: is it is the largest sports tournament in the world.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: All right, But how much do you think the United
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: States cares about the World Cup? A lot? Do you really?
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Because I think that the United States not because of
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: you know, whether it's soccer or as basketball or whatever,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: the United States still has that like USA hoorah stuff
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: go on whenever sports going.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Do you think it's the patriotism coming here?
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Yes, Like I see it every Olympics I saw. I've
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: seen it every World Cup. Like people who don't even
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: watch the sport come out just to support it because
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: they're like, I want to see the USA beat these
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: other guys.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: I remember when in twenty twenty it was twenty twenty two,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: the last World Cup, we played England in the group stage,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: and I remember going out to like like bar hopping
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: that night. I had seen thousands of people like talking
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: about the game that night, and like when I went
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: to when I went to the bar, I went to
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: a local bar down the street here and watched the game.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: They had to take the tables and chairs out of
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: the bar. There was like, whoa, there were really three
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: thousand people in this bar watching this game. What bar
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: is this? It was Saints Oh down to Saint Matthew. Yes,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: it's a it's a soccer bar.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: What now, wait a minute, Now, that's that's unfair. That's
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: an unfair comparison because you're talking about a bar that
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: is promoting soccer. I'm talking about general public Joe blow
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: out there, that is just a fan of everything. But
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: do you think that guy is literally gonna be sincerely
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: interested in World Cup?
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: I think if you tell them the United States is playing,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: they would watch it, would they?
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just for the.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Sole fact of, you know, like that they have a
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: team in the fight, you know what I mean? Like now,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: as soon as the USA is eliminated, if they don't care,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: they don't care, that's probably fine.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: I go I completely.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: But you'll continue to watch even the USA. I'll watch
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: as many matches I can.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Will you really? You love soccer that much? You'll just
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: watch random matches? Yeah? Wow, Okay, I doubt if I
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: even watch the United States play.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Like in twenty twenty two, it was in guitar, gazarr, Yeah,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: it was in guitar. The World Cup final was at
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: three am. I got up to watch it.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: You've gotta be kidding me. Is this is before Paulina?
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: So I guarantee you won't be doing it this time.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: I will be seriously, Yeah, because if I wouldn't have
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: watched it, I would have missed Lionel Messi winning his
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: first ever World Cup, okay, and I wouldn't have forgiven
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: myself for that.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's that's good for you. I'm happy for you.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Like I said, if you don't, if peoplen't like the sport,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: that's fine.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: I can toletely get it.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: But like it is, like so, like the World Cup
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: is the one part where if you, if somebody hasn't
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: taken a part of soccer, like really pay attention to it,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: at least give it a chance. It's it's extremely exciting
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: to watch. Well, I've given it a chance. I've gone
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: to a Louisville game here in town, the whatever the
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: semi pro team they have here, and I I was
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: done within fifteen minutes. I meant, like, if you, if
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: you've never seen like the World Cup before, give the
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: World Cup.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, Yeah, well I've given soccer a try. It's
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: just it's just boring to me. I stayed for the
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: whole game, but I just didn't really pay attention. Yeah,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: I just I don't understand the passion for it. I
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: thought I was that way with hockey until I went
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: to my very first game, and it took me less
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: than five minutes to fall in love with hockey because
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: hockey is exciting to me. Hockey is they score for
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: the most part, and if they don't, then they finish
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: it with scores very very few times, kind of like NFL.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: They will end in the time. But soccer ins and
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: ties all the time. It's like, why do you want
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: to watch that? When they it was only one? Nothing?
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, come on, man, I just I have tried it.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: I don't think I'll try it again. I all right,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: I'll go against everything I believe in.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: You don't have to just for you, because I'll talk
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: about it enough on your show.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: You don't need to. That's what's gonna kill me. And
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I won't know what you're talking about. You don't need to.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Why then I won't be a part of the conversation.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: You can be talking to yourself. How much fun is that?
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Do people really want to listen to you? Just talk
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: to yourself? I mean that's I do that whenever you're
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: not here. Okay, all right, fine, I get I mean
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Don't go ahead and say it. No,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know what you mean, Matthew. Okay, no, I
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: love how you are. All right? Then, well, so USA
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: plays win.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: They play the twelfth I believe where they play in California.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, they do against there. So that's in San Francisco,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: then at what used to be called the Levi Stadium
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: because they covered everything up and they're not allowed to
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: say because of little FIFA. I have no idea what
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: I think it's so far? Oh it is. So they're
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: playing in San Francisco and LA.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: They're playing all over the West Coast. Their first games
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: in LA in the second games, like Seattle in.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: The third games. Oh wow, I didn't realize that. The
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: California again, And so the other stadiums they're playing, and
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: I know they're playing at Mercedes Bins, which can't say
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: that anymore. But they're playing in Atlanta. Where else are
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: they playing besides out this way? They're playing at where
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: the Jets and the Giants play. Yeah, they're playing. You
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: don't even know either. I can't remember. I can't go
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: to anything.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: You're such a fan, you don't even know what they're playing, Michael,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: I can't go to it. And why do I care
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: what stams they play at. I think it's important. They
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: could go play at Louisville City Stadium for all I care,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: and you wouldn't go.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: I would go.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: I can't afford to go. No, if nobody can. If
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: it was in my city, I would take out a
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: business loan.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: By the way, with all the tickets that are in
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: the pricing that they have on the tickets, have they
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: sold out? I would say no, probably not. Part of
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: me wishes hopes that they don't sell out because it
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: teaches them a lesson not to overcharge us. Well, the
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: prices aren't that much over when they're in Europe? Are
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: they for the World Cup? Oh?
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: I mean it goes based on what they're like, the
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: country's you know, GDP and everything.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, so they're taking advantage of the United States.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, everybody knew this was gonna happen as soon as
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: it came back to United States. These these countries, we're
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: gonna have to learn what capitalism means.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, all right, then, one thing I do want
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: to talk about Cayle Tucker. I thought was interesting posts
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: that he had yesterday. Yesterday, Kyle Tucker went through the
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Basketball Reference is what he claimed and found that Milan
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: mam Chilovich since the three point line was introduced, is
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: the only player who has made one hundred and thirty
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: plus three points.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, you're waiting for me to I mean it's big
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: for him, that's big.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: That's huge at forty eight percent clip in a season
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: of Division one players, so that he's the only one
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: that's ever done this absolutely remarkable. Can he repeat this though?
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Justin Matthew, I'm so sorry.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, he definitely can. He's gonna have the opportunity.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: He's gonna have the ultimate green lie. He's being able
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: to shoot whoever he wants. He's gonna be able to
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: take whatever shot he wants.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: I see, I think so too. But I think defenses
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: are getting ready right now. Coaches are getting ready to
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: put these defenses up that will guard against him being
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: able to do that, which to me means either they're
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: gonna have to run a better offense at UK and
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: or even more so, I think there's gonna have to
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: be more shooters out there for UK. It can't be
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: just mom Chilovic, can it.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: No, ca't you have to find scoring somewhere else, whether
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: it's Alex Wilkins or whether Zoom Diallo becomes more of
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: a Cam Williams.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: Cam Williams, that's who I'm counting on. I think it's
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: gonna be fun and give Cam Williams a lot more opportunity.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: And I, like I predicted last year, I was really
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: excited when Cam Williams decided to leave Toulane and come
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: to Kentucky. He is going to be a fun player
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: to watch and he is going to be a lot
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: more successful than people give him credit for. And that
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: that's what I'm predicting right now. I predicted that last year.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately he got injured right when he was getting hot,
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: and I predict he's gonna pick up where he left
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: off last year. Now, UKU of L, Well, how are
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: you feeling about this game? Since Mom Chilovich has joined
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: the likes of University Kentucky the game is at reperina?
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Are you a little more nervous as a UO L
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: fan with this roster now at UK?
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: I guess in the terms of like Kentucky has like
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: a legitimate scorer now but a little bit, I guess.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: A little bit, but not much. You still think y'all
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: go in there and beat UK at rup.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: I think so okay. But I mean I'm not gonna sit.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna pretend like I believe they'll win by
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: like twenty or something like. I think it'll be a
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: really good game. It's always a really good game no
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: matter what the rosters look like. I just my big
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: quarrel with this Kentucky roster is that I don't think
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: there's enough depth. I think that you're starting five is good.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: I think you're starting five is definitely good enough to
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: compete with a lot of teams in the country. I
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: just think that, you know, once you get like the
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: backup for Malachi Marayo, there's not a lot of depth.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Once you get the backup for you know, Zoom Diallo,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: there's not a lot of depth.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: How deep do you think UK goes on the bench.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: I think they go three deep. I think they have
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: eight solid players.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: I mean I could see that, yeah, I just don't
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: think that those three guys come off the bench can
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: like move to separate positions.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: I think that they're very stuck in where they're at.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: So I think you're gonna have to see a couple
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: guys like Milan or like Zoom or like Malachi have
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: to play really heavy minutes this season.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: How deep do you think U of L is round
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: similar eight or nine? Okay, and so you're you're criticizing
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: UK about depth, but yet you're saying the same amount
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: of players at U of L eight or nine.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Well, I think the U of LA has multiple players
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: that can play multiple positions. So like I think that
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: there's there's a backup for almost everybody. The only spot
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: that doesn't really have a true backup is Carter Knox.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, which is now I'm not going to
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: criticize Carter Knox, but anyway, we'll leave We'll leave it
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: at that. So we got to take our first break.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Five O two three four fourteen fifty. You want to
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: call five two four one four fourteen fifty, you want
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: to text in on the Whiskey Thief text line. We'll
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: get to those sus. We get back and uh uh
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: talk about a few other things when as well. Steph Curry,
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: I've never heard of the shoe company, but we will
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: now for the next ten years. Stay right there. More
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: justic CAATs coming right up, you know, talking about the
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: UK U of L game, did you realize it's been
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: since two thousand and what season two thousand and seven,
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: two thousand and eight since U of L beat uk Reporina. Yes,
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a long time. That's unacceptable amount of time.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was surprised by that. I didn't realize it
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: had been that long since it had happened. But I
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: was surprised by that.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: I was surprised when I first found that. I was
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: as well. I. I mean, it's one thing I don't
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: really have a lot to say about.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Tell me why I don't understand. Here's one thing I
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: really like. Uh did you see where November six? Uh,
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: there's going to be a rematch in Boston of the
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: National Championship Game between Michigan and Yukon. I like that?
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: What there is? Did you not know this now? So
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: they're they're playing November. So Michigan basketball is going to
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: be playing Yukon basketball in Boston on TNT. Interesting for
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame series. I think it's really cool
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: and I wish they would do that. To me, that
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: should be the first game every year. You end with
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: the last game, the title game, and then those two
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: teams should agree to meet as a part of the
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: very first game the following year. Why not make that
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: the n I T? I mean, does anybody really watch
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: the n I T except for the fans of the
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: teams that are in it? Does it? For the vast
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: majority of basketball fans really don't watch the n I T?
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Is that fair to say? Or am I speaking over
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: that's fair to say?
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Like if you're gonna if you want to tell me that,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: like a lot of people are not going to watch
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: the World Cup, that's fine. I don't even care if
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: my favorite team is in the n I'm not watching it.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Oh really, So if U of L is in the
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: n I T you're not watching, I'm not watching. I'm
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: not keeping up.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: It's like we're I respect the players that in today's
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: era still playing that stuff. I respect it, but you
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: you get there's nothing you get out of it, like
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: winning It is a no prestige. It doesn't help you
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: in the next season, there's no nil incentive. It's it's
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: literally just for television and the schools to make money.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: So I'm not watching it. I'm not supporting my team playing.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: That, all right, So if they switched it and said Okay,
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: let's make the N I t h the Final four
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: from the March Madness, and now let's make it the
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: n I see the first tournament of the season for
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: the very next season. I think I'd watch that. Yeah,
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'd be very interested in it.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: They'd actually be incentive to it, you know, they see
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: a regular season schedule. The only thing that would make
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: that work is they'd have to have an nil incentive
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: with it, just like how the New Era Players Tournament does.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with that, and I think the players
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: would enjoy that. And then now you're playing in the gardens,
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Madison Square Gardens, and that would be a lot of fun.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: But I like this. I like that Yukon and Michigan
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: are playing each other really early in the season as
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: a part of the Hall of Fame, and it just
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: I think it sets a tone for the season that
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: Harry you got right off the bat a really good game.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: I just like that idea.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I just want better basketball throughout the season.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: I'm an advocate of I can't stand what football does
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: where every team just has this cupcake schedule that's out
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: of conference. I enjoy that basketball is the opposite, where
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: and I understand why they're doing football because you want
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: the best possible chance to make the playoff.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: I can pay understand their.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Conference is hard enough, but I enjoy that in basketball
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: the field is wide enough that like coaches avidly want
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: to play tougher teams, like they want to test their
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: team before going into.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: You know, in a tournament time.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: So I'm always down for playing the heavyweights against the
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: heavyweights a many time as possible.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: Well, I think that's changing though within the SEC. I mean,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: you know, they're they're being forced to play nine conference games,
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: so you're not seeing those all time cupcake games like
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: you used to since you're you're seeing well with Kentucky,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: you only seeing two cupcake games the other ones versus
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: U of L. So it's not really that easy of
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: a schedule. I mean it's extremely difficult.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about like not like specific conference of conference
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: or even team to team. I'm talking about football in general.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Like the first three weeks are always nobody's playing anybody.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: They're like a couple of good games. Yeah, you know
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: what I mean. But like the majority of college football
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: is uh, Alabama's playing which a tall state blind I know,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: women for the blind.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: I know, and it's just I don't know.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: It's like I like that I like football more's a
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: sport than I do basketball. But I do like that
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: basketball jumps in earlier, and they've even made it even
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: more exciting by doing the exhibition games again the season
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: being on TV.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, I get you. Uh five O two three
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: eight four fourteen fifty Call five O two four one
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: four fourteen fifty if you want to text. Uh. One
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: person said, good morning, Michael. I swear I'm a little
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: sad because I haven't seen the sunrise in three deggone
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: days or whatever. Kid Rock says the song if you
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: know what I mean, I don't know what kid rock. Well.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: I shouldn't say this, but I don't know many kid
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: rock songs. I like some of his stuff, I just
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: don't do you know the reference to the song he's saying,
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: I don't listen to any kid rock. You don't. You're
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: not a kid rock fan.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: I don't listen to people who mess around with people
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: under the date of eighteen?
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: Did he do that? He has avid songs where he
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: talks about how he likes there are women under Oh,
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that. Okay, The Canover is going to
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: be fat after these next two months. Although the height
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: might be off some under it. Sure they've paved the
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: roads up since they hung the signs. Man, it's just
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: going to be something else. And why these trucks continue
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: to drive under just amazes me. One person said, Other
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: than the top teams, how can anybody really predict how
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: far any team can go without seeing them dribble a basketball.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: I've said this for years, and I even said it
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: against UK. It's like, wait a minute, wait a minute,
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: how can you And this is back in the cal era.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: And this is not picking on Col. This is picking
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: on the people that are putting them Kentucky up there
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: in the ranking system. Col hadn't finalized a roster for
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: you for his Kentucky basketball team, yet people were ranking
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: them top five team. It's like, how do you rank
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: them so high? And not only that, you've got all
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: the freshman coming in. You haven't seen them play one
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: second of college basketball. Yet these guys are out there
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: ranking them as one of the top teams in the country.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: I just and there they continue to do it at Arkansas.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is just how sports media goes, especially
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: in the off season.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: It doesn't.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Milan could have went to New York State College and
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: they would have you know, made an argument for that. Milan,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: you know, makes this team a lot different. Now he
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: changes the dynamic of how they played. The half of
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: it is they need to talk about. Half that is
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: people actually doing like analysis on what the rosters look like,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: and the other day. At the end of the day,
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: it all gets blended together to the point where like
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: these people just need things to talk about.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: It's the off season. Yeah, that's probably it.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Like what do you think John Rostein does whenever basketball
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: is not on.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: I have no idea. I would be very curious. Does
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: he do a podcast, does he do something else? I
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: don't know. What do they do?
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: His staff plugs him into the walls he can charge
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: or he can charge up for next season.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, he can't fly on Southwest because he's
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: a robot and they don't let those on there. If
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: you're not really if you're if.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: You're not a human, Well yeah, it's the same reason
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: you're a fan from Southwest Airline. You have to put
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: your phone on airplane mode. John Rostein like disconnects them
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: from the tower. They can't all put him on he
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: puts himself on airplane mode. Oh my gosh, okay, one.
• 31:18

  Speaker 2: But uh uh. That's a shout out to dam yeah
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: and the firefighters. Because I didn't realize it was Crusade
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: for chicken, Chicken, Crusade for children time, and I was
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: invited a few years back, Tony Vanetti. You know of
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: another radio station invited me to come in and help
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: raise money on the tele on WHAS, and I wasn't
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: able to do it because I was out of town.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: And I've always regretted not doing that. I've always wanted
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: to go back and do it. But then I'm gonna
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: be out of town this weekend too, so I wouldn't
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: be able to do it again.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: But I well, maybe you know it sounds like you're
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: just playing on your trips out of town.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: No, it's not intentional. No, no, no, it's not intentional.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: I promise it's not. If you asked me to do
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: a portion of Upper Decker, i'd do it in a
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: New York second, I don't care where I was. I'd call.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: I'd phone it in, say I'm doing Upper Decker with
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: Matthew Childress.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: And I'd be like, well, I mean, it wasn't important
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: enough for you to be in person, so we don't
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: want that.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: Oh geez, okay, I just say, come on, Matthew, let's
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: let's figure a time that's convenient for me to come
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: on the Upper Decker live with you in person, and
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: I'll do it. But I've never been asked. I also
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: haven't really asked anybody. Oh you haven't see I'm kind
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: of the same way. I'm getting messages from different people.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: It's like, Michael, I know it's summertime. You know, if
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: you need me to be a guest, we just don't
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: do guests. Only guess we primarily do are the coaches.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: We do it during Derby week. But that's that's unique
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: because I want a lot of Derby people to come
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: in there and talk with us. And you know, we
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: had Jason Worth that one day, who was phenomenal. I
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: thought he was a lot of fun. But he'd like
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: to come back on just talk about some baseball and
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: we might do that sometimes. But no offense to the
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: people that are offering I very much, sincerely appreciate it.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: But yeah, we just don't do guests that often. But anyway,
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: all right, let's go ahead and take a break. Five

  Speaker 2: the projected NBA Finals, which starts tonight at eight thirty,
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: has more Big East school players than any other conference.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: I was really surprised by that. When I saw that,
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: I found it interesting. Uh, who do you think is second? Like?
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: Which team?
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: No, which Concernference SEC SEC exactly? So? Uh, there are
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: three so it's total of four, uh Big East. So
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: there's three three alone from Villanova, one Yukon one Saint John's.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Oh that's that's yeah, that's four two u K one
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: I U one Florida site, Uh of Florida? Where did
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: that come from? One Florida state? And then obviously Wimby
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: didn't go to college. But I thought I didn't realize
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: there was three players from Villanova. Did you.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Anythink Jalen Brunson yep, Josh Hart, yep.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: I know that.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: Donte de Vincenzo went there, but he's not on the
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Knicks anymore.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Who's the third? Michel Bridges, McCall bridges, mccaull. Yeah, I
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: forgot that he was and then you had uh how
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: do you say his name? O g Onanobi and I U,
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: of course you got cat from UK dearon Fox UK Uh,
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: Stefan Castle Yukon Devin Vassel f s U, Jillian Champagne. Uh,
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: how do you say his name? Champagne champagnee in Chimpagny
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: Saint John's and then Wimby. So that that to me,
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: I love seeing that kind of stuff. I just I
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: was amazed at all the Villanova players and uh, but
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: good for them? Uh does that indicate that? Man? If
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: you uh, if you get all these players in the
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: NBA Championship, should they won another championship at Villanova? That's
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: what I always think of, Yeah, I mean probably yeah.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: It's It's one where you realize how good of a
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: coach Jay Wright was because of how many guys he.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: Yes, because he was not just a great recruiter, he
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: was a great coach. I just always I never liked
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: when UK bragged about how many players they had. It's fun,
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: it's cool, but they always bragged about how many players
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: are in the NBA. Well, to me, that always indicated, well,
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: then you should have made the final four. A lot more.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: I just never I never liked that. Look, it's just
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: to me, it just kind of worked the opposite way.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: It's like you're bringing in the cream of the crop
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: every single season.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: You just back to more. Yeah, well, I and you
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: you definitely should expect more. So if you're going to
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: get these great players in there just because they're coming
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: for one year, you should get them. Well, it'd been
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: nice to have them a little longer, but I guess
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: that didn't happen. John. Here, everyone can say what they want.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: However they were. There were so many that wanted Milan
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: and were throwing bags of money at him. If they
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: could have went higher, they would have. Michael, you are right.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: The narrative now that Kentucky overpaid is crazy when most
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: teams were right in the same ballpark. The reality is
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: Kentucky basketball will be in the thick of things for
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: sure this season. I believe they will start somewhere between
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: twentieth to fifteenth in preseason rankings. I'm right there with
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: you too, John. I think that Rothstein and Borsella have
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: it kind of right there. I mean, sixteen seventeen eighteen.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: I think it's probably probably around eighteen is where I
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: see UK. Let's be a little conservative there. I don't
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: think nineteen twenty. I think that's a little too much.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: But I think eighteen is kind of the right number.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: This is just irritating the heck out of you, and
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: you were just all the UFL fans were loving that
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Mark Pope was just struggling, struggling, struggling, and all of
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: a sudden, He's put together a pretty good team here.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say a great team. I love the
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: smile on your face now means makes me laugh.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: It's it. I'm just like I genuinely believe it's just
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: an average basketball team at best. Like I I, I'm.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: Not gonna say great. I'm gonna say pretty good. I
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: don't say average.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: This is the first real grab that he's gotten in
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: this entire transfer portal. Yeah, and now every fan is turning,
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: turning their back to how much they wanted Mark Pope
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: out like one like not even a week like two
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: days ago, I know. And every time he hosted a
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: picture of like Mark, what are you doing? You should
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: be doing this? People were making fun of the whole
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: Q and as he was doing, they were making you
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: instead of being your show It's crazy how people turn
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: a blind eye and things going on, but one good
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: thing happens, that's a good thing.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: And they'll turn into second too. Back on them they will. Yeah.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: The one thing I agree with John here is that
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: one I believe in the air college basketball we're in
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: now we don't. It's we're overpaying for everyone. Every player
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: in college basketball is overpaid. That there is no So
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: I hate when fans come in as soon as you
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: get somebody and say, well, you obviously overpaid for that guy.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: It's not worth this, He's not. I'm like, dude, you
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: think that the set, the shooting guard for whatever team
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: is worth five million dollars in college That dude's overpaid.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: I don't care if he averaged eighteen points last season,
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: he's overpaid. These guys are making more than NBA contracts, like,
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: they're all overpaid. So look, if you got the money,
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: go out there and get them. I don't care how
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: what you pay. If you want to spend eleven million dollars.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: To get Milan, go get them. Who cares.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say you overpaid because at the end
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: of the day, every team's going broke. Every team's in
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: day that they're all paying whatever they can to get
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: the best roster and try and win. I understand. So yeah,
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: I agree with you, John. I hate that narrative. I
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: think it's stupid, like every single team is overpaying.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Would you just played the song by Guns n'
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: Roses Welcome to the Jungle. What does Axel Rose say
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: there in the song? If you got the money? Honey?
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: Of course everybody? If you of l had paid more
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: money and that they're staying in between six and six
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: and a half million, if you have al had paid
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: seven seven and a half, people would be saying, oh,
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: you paid too much.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it would be the same like wait, wait, wait, wait.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: Wait, you're now making fun of us for paying that
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: in amount. I'm like you, I think every player is
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: being way overpaid. I don't know how you stop this,
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: I really don't. And my concern it's gonna make an
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: unbelievable adjustment very near down the road. With athletic departments,
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: it's like, Okay, we can't afford all this. What are
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: we gonna do now? Because you're gonna get so many
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: fans out there, it says, okay, man, I've given you
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: money for years. I'm kind of done giving money. So
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: I just feel like sometimes with some schools, the the
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: well's gonna dry up and people are gonna stop giving,
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: and then what do you do at that point?
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I'm interesting. Right now, louisll is already borrowing,
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: like they're in a they're in a thirty million dollar
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: deficit right now, and they're it's not good. They're basically
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: just saying, look like, we don't play in the SEC
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: or the Big ten where you have this crazy you know,
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: football revenue share that goes around, or you know, you
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: have infinite money.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: That's why LSU can spend basically whatever they want.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: That's why Holo steaknspend whatever they want, you know what
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, Like they don't they don't have to worry
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: about that stuff. But like if you're in the Big twelve,
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: if you're in the ACC, if you're in the if
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: you're in the big mid level, yeah mid levels a strong,
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: strong phrase, but no, no, no, no.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about outside of the ACC Big twelve though,
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: And if that was even in the.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: Mid levels as well, yeah, those have no chance to
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: spend money at exactly.
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: I'm not picking on ACC.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't I thought you were. I thought you that
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: You're like, no, no joke, but no, no, no. But
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: if yeah, if you're one of those, you have no
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: chance too. You're at the point where now the only
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: way you fix this is to just absolutely nuke college
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: basketball and put in so many regulations den I l
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: that you devalue it so much that the NBA contract
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: is valued significantly higher, just like it was like four
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: years ago, whereas players were coming to college just to
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: get to the NBA, and then they were, but some
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: of them were skipping out. They were going to the
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: G League night, they were going overseas, they were doing
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: all that stuff, and just like, you have to get
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: back to that level whether you like it or not
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: or else, the numbers are only going to get higher.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: And then you're gonna start seeing these teams who have
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: been national powerhouses their whole lives just give up and say, well,
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: we're committing to football only because there's no point to
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: spend forty million dollars a year on basketball.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: Well, who wants to play in the G League anymore? Anyway?
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: I mean it get if it gets to the NBA faster.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: Oh you think so, that's the only partse the travel
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: is worse. The money is thousand times worse. Why would
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: you want to go to the G League other than
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: risk get and get to the NBA quicker.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: But you're you're, you're, you're looking at this. I'd rather
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: make the money.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: You're an eighteen year old who has the opportunity. Either
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: one you're only going to go to college for a year,
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: or two you're not gonna get agree right. Two you
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: get to go the You get to go play basketball
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: for a living around fifty to seventy thousand dollars a year,
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: which is at that moment you're probably fine with now,
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: not because you have an IL, but before that was
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: a good deal. And at the same time you're playing
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: directly under an NBA organization.
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but here's the sad part. This is sad to me.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: Who of of the great players in the NBA right
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: now has a college degree. I bet it's a low
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: percentage number. I bet it's probably twenty percent. If that.
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: I kind of feel like that's.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: Most of those guys like come back and get a
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: degree later in life. I like that Rondo just graduate like.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: He did a year or so ago. He did, And
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: of course we all know about Shack coming back and
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: uh yeah, and that you heard the announcement during the commencement,
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: I will hate Charles Barkley, which I thought that was hilarious.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, I love him teasing Charles Parkley the way
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: he does. But but but I'm talking about players that
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: are going from college into the NBA. How many what
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: percentage of them have college degrees? And I bet it's
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: a really low number. Not many. Now they granted, they
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: do go back and get it. Credit to them for
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: doing that. And I think it was Rondo that uh
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: promised his grandmother. No, it was John Wall promise his
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: grandmother that he would go back and get his degree,
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: and he did.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: I think the NBA just needs to get rid of
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: the rule that you have to go to college.
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: Like, well, good luck with that, because you know who's
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: holding that back, don't you. It's not the NBA. Well,
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: I know, it's the players union. Yeah, I.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: Just just get rid of it. These players are literally
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: only going to college for one year. It's gaining more
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: and more every single season. We're seeing more freshman leave.
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: This is the largest freshman class I think I've ever
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: seen go to the NBA Draft, and most of them
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: are all in the first round. It's not worth it.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: It's it's it's just it's convoluting the system in the
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: college basketball. It's costing way too much money to bring
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: these players in. And then you're also spending if we're
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: gonna talk about like the system not changing, we're spending
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: high value transfer portal money on guys who we already
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: know are only going to play one season, who we'd
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: never seen play college basketball. May be a dud, may
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: not work, may not even play, you know, so it's like,
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: let the just let them go, just let them move on.
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: Well, if you do that, then you've you've ruined John
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: Perry's strategy to recruit players at Arkansas. I mean he's
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: retiring anyway, Oh he is? You know this for a fact.
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: What is he retiring?
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: I hear he's retiring tomorrow. Really he told me today.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: Oh come on, he texted me good morning beautiful every morning.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: Let you know that I'm morning beautiful.
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, then, why why do you think he's
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: going to retire? I don't think he is. I think
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: he's in it for the long haul. I mean, how
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: much longer is he? He's got that chicken money coming in?
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: But he hates like he hates the air of college basketball.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: All he does is complain about it. It's not like like, yes,
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: he didn't like the SEC tournament. I think he loves basketball.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: I think he loves coaching, but he like every I'm
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: I'm honestly tired of after every single game that goes
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: one way or another, I have to hear a ten
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: minute video of John cut Prey complain about what's wrong,
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: like just leave man leeve.
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: I don't understand why he doesn't go try and coach
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: at the NBA or something else again. I know he
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: wants to go back to the NBA one more time
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: and give it a try. I don't think he'll succeed,
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: but he wants to try.
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: So.
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: All right, we got our two coming right up. When
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: we come back, we're gonna talk about some UK football news.
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: Stay right there. A lot more just Cats coming right up.
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Just the Cats with Michael Bennett.
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: All right now, with number two. If you want to
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: give call fable two three four fourteen fifty, or if
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: you want to text in on the Whiskey Thief text line,
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: you can do that five two four one four fourteen
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: to fifty, or you can tweet me at just scat radio.
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: So I do want to talk about a little bit
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: about UK football. Last weekend, UK quarterback commit Jake Nawrott
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: went to Los Angeles and he competed in the Elite
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: eleven Finals camp. I don't know if you've seen this
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: or not, but already considered the second best quarterback and
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: twenty seventh best player overall in the class of twenty seven,
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: and among the twenty quarterbacks that he was competing against,
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: naw Rott was considered one of the top performers out
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: of these top twenty quarterbacks. Uh, the director of scouting
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: rankings for Rivals, pointed out that his impressive accuracy in
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: passing and his footwork were among the big things that
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: stuck out and really excited about what potential he can
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: bring to UK football. I mean, it's fun when you
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: see that kind of stuff. It's fun when you see
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: UK football in a completely different light. And I just
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: you know, to me, the biggest struggle Kentucky football has
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: had for a number of years is the quarterback position.
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: It just they've never had a really strong competitive player.
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: Now granted they've had competitive players, but not ones they
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: were athletes. Is how I define them. If you asked
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: me about like, I know a number of you gonna say, Michael,
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: what about Will Levis? Well, Will Levis was a great athlete.
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: Did I think he was a great quesquarterback? Let me
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: ask you before I answer that question. Do you think
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: within the past ten years Kentucky has had a dominating
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: quarterback in football? No?
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: I think Will Levis was a great quarterback. I mean
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: obviously a first round pick.
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: Like I just asked you and you said no. Now,
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: you just said he's a great quarterback.
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: Well, I like a great quarterback is like in college football. Like,
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: I think Will Levis was a great quarterback. I don't
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: think you said dominating. I don't think k has had
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: a dominating quarterback in college fotball.
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: Now, yeah, I think Will Levis was a good quarterback.
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: I think he was a great athlete. I can see that.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: I just think he was a good quarterback. I just
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: I don't think he was anything that could have taken
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: us to the Promised Land. But he did get us
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: a ten one season. That's been nicked. But I just
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: feel like I'm hoping Minschi can do that. They're saying
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: a lot of great things about him, in the spring
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: practice and how he's improved quite a bit. You know,
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: a lot of the Notre Dame fans of are wishing
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: him the best of luck and say, what a great
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: get that the University of Kentucky got. Of course, you
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: got naw Rock coming in next year, and you think, Okay,
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: maybe there is a concerted effort for Kentucky by will
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: Stein to get dominating quarterbacks, at least potentially dominating quarterbacks.
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: It'll be a long time before we see that, if not,
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: Writ's going to be that kind of quarterback or not.
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: But when you see him getting compared and going to
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: these different camps across the country, and that's all they're
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: talking about is accuracy and his footwork. Those are the
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: two keys with a quarterback, isn't it.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I think so. My biggest thing with
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks personally is their decision making. I feel like we
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: especially saying in college football, there's so much you know,
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: bullitzing going on the offensive. It's just like college baseball, right,
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: College baseball is fun because some of the areas of
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: baseball are are more poor of the MLB, right, Like,
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: you don't have the greatest pitchers in the country, it's
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: all bats, right, like it's all power hitters, right, So
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: you get there's a lot more runs score in college baseball,
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: just like in college football. You know, not everybody is
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: an NFL d lineman. Everybody is an NFL lineman. So
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: that gets a lot more pressure on these quarterbacks who
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: might not have a career after college of football. So
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: for me, yeah, athleticism and decision making as well as
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: accuracy or probably my top three quarterback yeah, and then
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: speed after that. But I think you're right.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of the NFL scouts put how
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: quick they are to react to whatever situations because you know,
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: you go from high school to college is one speed,
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: but then you go from college to the NFL is
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: speed on steroids, no pun intended, But it's amazing how
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: much faster speed is going from college to professional sports.
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, just going to You can't take it for granted.
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: I mean when you go down on the field of
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: the NFL stadium and you see the linemen that are
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: three hundred pounds running just as fast as probably some
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: wide receiver be a little bit of an exaggeration in college,
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: but when they are running just as fast as a
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: lot of players in college football. It's amazing how fast
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: those guys are.
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, like I remember when I was in
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: high school, I saw like a statistic or whatever.
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: I forgot what it was.
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: It was like ten percent of students in high school
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: play play high school sports. One percent of those athletes, Like,
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: of just those ten percent go on to play college sports,
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: point one of those go on to play or like
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: what is it, like point zero one of those go
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: on to play the NFL. So it's like you could
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: look at yourself as an athlete all your life, but yeah,
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: the jump between college athletics and professional athletics is bigger
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: than any jump that could possibly think. That's why every
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: player has a welcome to the MLB, Welcome to the NFL,
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the NHL. Story of like what their first
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: their first hit or their first you know, major strikeout
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: where they just realized they were so outclassed by a
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: veteran or something, they really understood what the difference was.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: So we're getting the point where I feel like that
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: gap is closing a little bit between college and football
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: because of the Nile situation, I feel like it's a
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: little bit more competitive. You're seeing guys come back and
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: play for a little bit longer now because of the
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: money aspect, right, So players are going to league a
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: little bit more experienced. But at the end of the day, yeah,
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: the NFL, the NBLB and NHL, NBA, they're always gonna
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: trump them in terms of talent. I mean, you've got
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: the point zero one percent talent on every single team
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: you're playing basically the best college team in the world
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: every single night.
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: Wasn't that a commercial by the NCAA. What that the
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: I think they gave the sets out actually the percentages
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: of athletes going to play professionally because you might as
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: well just go ahead and get your degree. It was
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: all about getting your college degree, which I always probably
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: where I saw it that it was a long time ago. Yeah.
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: By the way, Randall Cobb, former UK football great, named
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: to the twenty twenty seven College Football Hall of Fame ballot.
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: He's one of eighty players and nine coaches that are
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: amongst the ones that will be there, so hopefully, hopefully
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: he can get into the Hall of Fame. That's one player.
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: I don't remember if Wesley Woodyard is a part of
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: that or not as of yet, but you know, from
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: that team that era with Rich Brooks as the head coach. Man,
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: I'd love to see Randall Cobbs stands out enough so
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: he should be a Hall of Fame player in the
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: College Football Hall of Fame, shouldn't he?
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: I mean off of eye test, Yes, I believe so.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: I'm right now I'm pulling up his career stats because
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know them. I don't know what the crew
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: stats worried you.
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: I don't. I don't have a memorized but hopefully he does.
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: I'm rooting for Randall Cobb. I was always huge fan
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: of his. Nice young man. You know. The only only
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: unfortunate part is he played for the wrong team in
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: the NFL. I mean, I'm just not a I'm not
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: a Packers fan. He he ever or sorry for his
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: entire career.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he had seven six hundred and twenty four yards
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: of six hundred and thirty receptions, fifty four touchdowns. He
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: averaged twelve point one yards per reception.
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: That's pretty good, isn't it.
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: That's pretty good. I can't remember he has a Super Bowl,
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: doesn't he.
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: I don't think he just has one. I think he
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: has a couple of days. I can't remember. Yeah, I
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: don't remember that either. But uh, he only had one
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: Pro Bowl. Really, I didn't know that. Wow, okay, maybe
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: he's not all of it. Well that we're talking college.
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: Now we're not talking enough. Oh you're talking about college. No,
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: not NFL. This is college Hall of Fame.
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: I was looking at okay, no, no, no, no, I
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: was looking at the NFL stats.
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't want to pick on him, but
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know if he has the NFL sets to
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: make the NFL Hall of Fame.
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, that's what I was. Okay, No, I'm talking college. Yeah,
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: he has a really good career, but I don't think that.
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: Yes, I thought this was interesting. Former MLB first round
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: pick in twenty eighteen for the Angels, Jordan Adam played
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: played his first game. He played in August of twenty
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: twenty three, so almost three years ago. Played in twenty
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: eight games for the Angels, and by the way, he's
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: a former four star wide receiver. He now plans to
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: enroll at SMU and play football at the age of
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: twenty six years old. Oh yes, I did. Did you
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: see this? I've seen this. Yes, I saw this, and
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: I'm like, man, sports are crazy today.
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: There's also a guy who I think is either going
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: to UCLA this year or leaving UCLA. Yeah, and he
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: like either did enter the transfer portal early enough, so
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: he's transferring as a track and field athlete, but he's
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: going to play football.
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: Mine really Yeah, Okay, you gotta call him out on this.
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know what his name is. I forgot who
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: was yeah two weeks ago.
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: I don't like that.
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean it's it's I don't like it either.
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: It's a way around the system. Technically you can do that,
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: because once you get on campus, you can technically do
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: whatever you want.
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but clearly he's doing it. Well, yeah, only for football.
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: Well I saw this. It's like, dude, you're you're you're
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: twenty six years old. Should you be going back to
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: college and playing football? What's the plan at that point?
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: He's going to play for what one or two years?
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: Is any by the Is there any NFL team out
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: there that's going to pick him up at the age
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: of twenty seven or twenty eight?
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: I mean it really depends, really you think so? Yeah,
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: I mean at least wow now more now that's a
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: lot less likely like two years ago. You know, I
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: feel like we had twenty six twenty seven year olds
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: walking the earth all over place in college sports, you
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like, yes, Tyler Shuck being one
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: of them. It's one where some of those guys have
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: more experience and there's a little bit, but they also
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: have played that whole time. You know, they've been on
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: a team that whole time. I don't agree with it.
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: Most of these guys who are capable of doing this
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: are coming back to do it just to finally, just
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: to get a little bit of money before they have
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: to finally se that's what it is. Goes up shop. Yeah,
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: which I mean, I get it. If I had the opportunity,
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: i'd do it too. But with the five and five
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: year old coming into place next season, or at least
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: what it looks like it should it should be, I
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: am glad to see that won't happen anymore.
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you as well. I mean, we've got
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: to move on. We can't just be playing sports until
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: we're thirty five, forty years old. And it's just because
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: he's I don't know if he thinks he's gonna make
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: the NFL. It might be that he's just thinking, Okay,
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: this is my way to get a million dollars before
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: I stopped playing that way, or I have to go
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: get a real job. I mean, because if he was good,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: don't you think an NFL scout will say, why don't
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: you come try out for us?
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: If you're telling me so my somebody I knew looked
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: at me and was like, hey man, you are definitely
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: talent enough to at least get on a college roster.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: I don't care if you're forty nine. You can play
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: for one year make two million dollars.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: I will. I'll break both my legs out there. Would
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: you really like? That?
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: Is like, if you use that money right, you could
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: use that for a lifetime. You couldn't, like you could
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: you could invest it correctly. You could find an account
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: and figure that stuff out. So yeah, I do not
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: blame the kid for doing it. I guess not kid,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: he's twenty six years old. I don't blame the grown
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: tax paying citizen for doing it because I do the
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: same thing.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: But that doesn't mean I have to agree with it either.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: I don't like, well, first round picks for baseball they
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: get a nice check right when they sign. I mean,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: I imagine, so yeah, yeah, so he signed with the Angels,
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: one of the worst mL BE teams out there right now.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: But uh, and now he's looking at Okay, he's still
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: under thirty twenty six years old. Yes, if he signed
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: for a million or two and he didn't touch that
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: money until he was like fifty sixty years old, he's
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: made some nice money. You're exactly correct, but you cannot
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: touch it now.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: Think about it this way, all right, think about that,
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: not even the top tier athletes maybe like middle of
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: not a little bit above middle of the crop. We'll say,
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: the top twenty five best college basketball players in the
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: trans reportal this year, right, transportal this year was a
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: little bit softer.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: There wasn't as many big hits as there were last season.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: You're talking football or yeah, football, all right, those people
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: are getting like five to six million dollars for one season. Yes,
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: imagine you were twenty five. Somebody was like, I'll pay
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: you six million dollars to play one year of college football.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: Here I do it in a second.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: And they said, look, you're gonna get hit a thousand
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: times in this game. I said, you know what, whatever
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: happens to me, I got the money to get it fixed.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: Let's go do a big dog. I'm coming out there.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: I'm going like, these kids have so much money. They
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: don't have to worry about what happens later in life.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: They don't have to worry about making the NBA or
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: the NFL. They don't have to worry about Okay, well
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: my college career is over, and now I have to
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: find a job.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: Now I have to do this. I have to I
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: have to actually get a degree. I have to.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: I have to go find a career. This is more
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: beneficial for the middle of the crop athlete in college
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: basketball or college football, in any college sport than it
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: is for the ones that are probably guarantee you going
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: to know the process of point. Those people don't need it.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: You have genuine guys. The joke before was, oh, well,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: you know, Louisville this week is playing against a bunch
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: of guys who're gonna have to be accountants next.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: Year when they graduate.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: You know, Oh, that's an accountant with a six million
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: dollar paycheck. He's not gonna need an accountant. He if he
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: has an account that man's got generational wealth for us
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: of his life. It is crazy to believe the situation
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: that we're in. How much money these guys really make Yeah.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: I couldn't agree more. And hopefully vast majority of them
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: are wise with the money. That's the part that worries me.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: They're gonna do that whole thirty for thirty and go broke.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: It's like, hopefully there are people linked to them that
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: will say, no, this is what we're gonna do with
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: the money, and you can think me later, because when
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: you retire, you'll have all this money saved. Instead of
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: going out and buying fancy cars and houses and an
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: entourage and all that crap. You don't need all that stuff.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: Put the money somewhere where it will work for you,
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: and go get a job.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: I just only don't think that stuff will happen as
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: much anymore as it used to. For what's that, like
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: these guys going broke at such a young age like
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: and stuff.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: Like that, I think it'll happen even more at a
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: rapid fashion.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: I'm going to disagree with you on this. For the
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: oa these I hope you're right. These guys have like
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: full camps with them coming out of high school. Now
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: they have agents, they have their family, they have other
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: members behind them, like they they have financial advisors at
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: this point to understand to write these contracts, they have
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: lawyers all over the place. I think that these that's where.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: All the money's going to, all those people you just named.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: But I think because they have all these people, I
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: would I'm just imagining they also have like the financial
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: aspect down to a pad of like, Okay, we're gonna
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: hire these people to take care of this for me. Yeah,
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: at a younger age than like this eighteen year old
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: just signed a twenty million dollar baseball contract.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: Now he has to figure out what to do with
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: the type stuff anymore. Yeah. Uh. College football twenty seven
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: covers revealed yesterday, with Kiwan Lacy, Malachai, Tony Dante Moore
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: along with Kirk Signetti headlining the deluxe edition. Did you
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: like that now? I just never dreamed there would be
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: an IU coach on the cover of this game. Yeah.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: I mean he deserves it. Yeah, he does deserve it.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: Did you see the picture of him though? It's kind of.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a weird. It's a weird picture. I don't Yeah,
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: it's not a very Kurt Signetti picture.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: No it's not. And I just like, oh boy, that's
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: that's nothing. Did you like who was put on the
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: CFB twenty seven. I mean, I like the Malakatni's on there.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: I think they deserve to be on there. Does he
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: Kawan Lacy? I like that one. Dante Moore? I don't
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: really care for it? Why not?
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's a great quarterback. I was surprised to
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: him come back. He was arguably going to be like
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: a top five pick in the draft, right I It's
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: gonna be kind of weird saying this, but I think
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: without them having will Stein, I think he takes a
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: really big backwards step.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: So it's an interesting show. You really just said that.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: It's an interesting decision to see will Stein's kind of
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: bread butter quarterback grace the college football cover without him
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: on it, or like without him being in the game
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: with him anymore.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I get I get what you're saying. Uh but
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: uh oh. I would really love to know if a
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: lot of the UFL fan basis worried about this whole
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: will Stein thing, especially how successful he's been in recruiting.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: Does it? Does it you feel like it makes him
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: a little nervous that UK football might be back.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: I mean probably a little bit. I mean definitely, like
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: you obviously.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: Because especially since he's one of the y'all's own, I mean,
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: he was a starting quarterback. That that's the weird part
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: about this.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: Yes, is from people that I know and friends I
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: have and other contacts that I have, they've all said
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: the same thing that the worst part about it is
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: like I want to hate the guy, but I can't.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: Like I wish, like, like I've said this before, I
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: wish will Stein in this first say something would say something, yeah,
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: throw the l's down, which though I've said just like
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: that stuff doesn't really matter to me, uh huh, but
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: I wish he would do it so that I could
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: rivalry against Wilson. I can't like he's he was he
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: was the preliminary, the preliminary quarterback during like some of
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: like when I was growing up, like I watched will
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: Stein throw touchdowns for a little or four seasons. Right,
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it's one where it is a very weird situation.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: Now at some point I will come to dislike him
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: because what he'll do is he'll beat Jeff Brohm at
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: some point, you know what I mean, Like it will.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: And that'll make you dislike him just because he beats
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: Jeff brom.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just because I'm a little fan, Like, once he
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: beats my favorite team, like, I'm gonna just like him.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: Because I have a problem with disliking Jeff Brohm. I'm
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: to a point where I really really like Jeff Brown.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: I don't mean like, and I hate to say that
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: I like the guy. I don't mean I'll dislike will
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: Stein as a person, ye like, but I'll get in.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: I will get into the rivalry mode once he does that.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: Well really really okay? All right then, so and that's
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: okay to be in that rivalry mode. The only time
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: I don't like the rivalries is when there's just pure
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: hatred for each other. I don't like that, and that
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: makes it uncomfortable. That takes the fun away. Like I
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: love teasing one of my buddies, but he doesn't like teasing,
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: so I stopped. But then the moment he starts teasing
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: about UK, it's like, well wait a minute now, I
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: just I just he dislikes UK so much it makes
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: me uncomfortable. Where I don't dislike U of L that much.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't want them to win, but I don't.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: I don't. There's no hatred in me about it. That's
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: the part I don't like. I wish pete. That's when
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: I was talking to somebody a couple of days ago,
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: and I thought the greatest thing for the uk U
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: of L rivalry was when Joby Hall and Denny Crumb
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: did a show and it made people realize that even
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: though you have a rival, you can still be friends
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: with those rivals. And I loved that. I thought it
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: taught a lot of the fan base how to tolerate
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: each other and like each other. And I miss those days.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: But uh, anyway, we gotta take a break. Fible two
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: three eight four fourteen fifty. You want to call Fable
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: two four to one four fourteen fifty. You want to
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: text me, I'll get you to your text as soon
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: as we get back. But uh, Also, man, there is
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: a cool contests in Major League Baseball right now. I
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: want to win it. I think there's a number of
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: you with that would like to win. We'll talk about that.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: And then, oh boy, there was a whole Jose canseco
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: incident last night. We'll talk about that as well. Stay
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: right there, just the Cats coming right back swinging.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 3: See stop playing should be half singing sounds as the
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 3: big jazz in the High School.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: Dances who was right in the bay? But I love
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: this version. This person is so much better than the
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: regular one. Oh it is really I don't know if
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: I'd go that far, but I do love that version.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: Of course, that that who is the rap band that's
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: singing with Aerosmith? That's right run DMC. And to me,
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: they saved Aerosmith's career by doing that song because that
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: brought them back and brought them back to do a
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: whole bunch of new albums, songs and everything else. And
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: I just are you're not an air Aerosmith fan. I
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: don't know a lot about it. Like I know, like
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: their popular songs, but I don't listen to a lot
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: of them. Jane's Got a Gun That's probably one of
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 2: my all time favorite songs. Right there, I love it.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 2: Do you know the song I'm talking about? The video
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: was even better if I heard it? Probably, Yeah, Alicia
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: Silverstone was in the video. Oh okay, don't get me started.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: One person. Let's see here. Josh checks it out. Milan
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: is a good get. But do we know what Pope
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 2: can do with him? I think that's a great question.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: Will he play him for ten minutes?
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 3: I have.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: Let's not forget how much Pope has mismanaged actually well
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: playing time for most of the players on the last
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: two year's rosters. I think that's a fair question right there.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: I think I think more so this past year there
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: were a lot of questions with substitutions and players play
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: time and all that kind of stuff. I don't know
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: if I would question it from the first year. Just
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: last year was just difficult and and a lot of
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: it Josh had to do with, you know, player injury too,
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: so that kind of messed with how the roster was
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: gonna work anyway. So I think I can go both ways.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: You know, I can support Mark Pope one hand on
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: his decision making last year. On the other hand, it's like,
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: oh that was interesting. So I just I look at that,
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: and I think I can go both ways with that.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: So one person texted out, Kentucky has a way more
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: versatile roster than U of L. Guards are interchangeable, Fords
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: are interchangeable. Also, no one knows how good Hawthorne and
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: Diey are better roster, So.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: You're saying that they're better because you don't know if
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: Hawthorne is gonna be good.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, probably, So interesting take. I like to know what
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: my players are going. Oh, come on, now is the
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 2: UK show? Be careful, I'm just making jokes. Okay, all right,
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: as long as you're making a joke now. Not sure
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: if you listen to Will Stein's interview with Mike Rutherford's
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: radio uh doppeldanger Jim Rome on his radio show yet?
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: But he shouted out Trinity High School and said Kenny
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: minshe reminded him of Teddy Bridgewater, whoa all right? Interesting? Uh?
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: Is is uh Mike Rutherford's doppelganger Jim Rome? Do they
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: look I don't think they look alike? Do they?
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I've like, like i've listened to
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: Jim Rome. I actually don't think I've ever seen a
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: picture of.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, come on, I.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: Least I'm not at least I've never went out of
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: my way and looked up a picture of Jim Rome.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: You've never seen?
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: Oh no, wait he's in Uh he's in what's the
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: longest yard?
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: Right? He's the commentator? Yes, yes, okay, I have seen. Okay,
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: not only that, but also he has that famous video
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: with Chris evert or Ever the quarterback for the Rams
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: years ago, and they supposedly got into a fight in studio.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: Did you never see that? Okay? Maybe? Well that was
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: Jim Rome. Uh yeah, I like that. He was on
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: Jim Rome Show and he gave a shout at Trinity
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: High School. I did not I did not see the
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: interview yet, and I didn't see what he said about
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: comparing Kenny Minchie to Teddy Bridgewater. How do you like that?
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: Because I will say, of the quarterbacks that you have
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: all had, you're gonna this is gonna be a crazy
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: take for you, Okay, and I'm sorry it's a crazy take,
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: but I always thought Bridgewater.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: Was better than that other guy. Well, I already know
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: why you say that, Lamar Jackson. Lamar Jackson, I'll give
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: you a crazy take as well. Tay Bridgemar is my
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: favorite quarterback that has been since I've been a love
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: really yeah, he's my favorite little quarterback.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: See. I wanted him to come to Tampa Bay and
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: be the quarterback there. He would have been good.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: Would be when he was at the Vikings before he
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: got hurt, he was really good. He took him to
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: the playoff game and I thought, however long, but he.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: Just didn't have a great career. I mean, he always
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: kind of got stuck. I thought New Orleans he would
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: have been a great quarterback there, but then the quarterback
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: said I'm going to stay a little longer and then
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: screwed up bridge Water. I've always thought he was the
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: best U of L quarterback more and I'm not gonna
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: say a bunch more than Lamar Jackson. Lamar Jackson's exciting.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: That's what's unique about him because he scrambles. But I thought, Okay,
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna the dude's a two time MVP winner. Yeah,
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 2: and I mean Cooper Bowls as he won a two times?
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: I mean Super Bowls? Has he won none? Exactly? The
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: two times he was listening to answer, he was o.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: But by fans as well as the best player in
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: Fish football.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying, you answered my question is scrambles. Terry
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: Bridgewater is far better Teddy, not Terry Fridge. I'll get
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: it right. What we're personal friends now, Rutherford sounds like Rome.
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: He doesn't look like Rome. Rome was in space, yam Oh,
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 2: I didn't know Rome was in space. Jim, I didn't
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: realize they sounded alike. I need to go listen to
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: Mike brouther Ford a little more and do the comparison.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: I can hear Jim Rome right now. I can't hear
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: Mike Brutherford talking. I know you have, but they sound alike.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: Maybe they do, and I just haven't picked up that's
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: trum Ohio got Yeah, I think that's a funny one.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: One person said, I'm just glad Will Levis's uh. Will
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: Levis could stay standing on the pocket longer at UK
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: than he could stay standing in other aspects of his life.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: Oh boy, oh my gosh. That that story kind of
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: died quickly, didn't it.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: They've it's been coming in droves on the brother Show.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: Pass. Oh, it has been.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, so they're doing a little rivalry thing there
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: is that what they're doing. Well, I don't even know
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: if Will Levis counts to that anymore. That was long
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: enough away. I mean, also all that came out when
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: he was in the NFL. Right, Gia Duddy his girlfriend,
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: she's she's yeah, she's she's pretty. One person said, Rich
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: Brooks still should have given Cob the ball at the
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: gold line, so UK would have beaten Tennessee at Commonwealth. Man,
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: I've said that a few times on the show. The
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: one time I had Rich Brooks on my radio show
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: at the other station, and I asked that question.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: He gave me the death look like you've never seen.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: Fire was coming out of his eyes and burning my brain.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: So yeah, and you're right, Texter, he should have given Cobb.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: We why he took Randall Cobb out of that game
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: versus Tennessee. I still think Rich Brooks is even asking
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: that question, why did I do that? Chris Winky was
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: twenty eight when he won the Heisman? Is that true?
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: You're gonna look it up, okay, Jim Everett, it wasn't
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: Chris Everett, thank you. He was getting upset because Rome
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: kept calling him Chris or Chrissy because he said he
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: was soft. And you remember Chris Everett. Chrissy Everett was
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: a tennis player, very attractive tennis player. And yeah, Jim
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: Rome kept calling Jim Everett the former quarterback from the Rams.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: Chris Everett was twenty eight years old? Was he really
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: Chris Weinke was twenty eight? Wow? Nice nice text there, Texter.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: I just did not know that. So interesting. That's when
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: I of the text line. All right, I do want
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: to talk about this. I don't know if you saw
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: it or not. But there is a contest going on
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: right now and if you join it, it's it's called
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: the MFL MLB Offering Sweepstakes where you can win a
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: trip or trips to all thirty MLB parks called the
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: Journey to thirty sweep Stakes. Have you seen this? This
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: is an amazing contest, by the way, And I will
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: have to say it's a contest. I signed up for it.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: I didn't want to talk about it on the radiocause
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: I don't want people to sign it up for it.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: I will. I want to win this. Would you ever
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: be interested in visiting all thirty ballparks of Major League Baseball? Yes?
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: Would you be interested in visiting all NFL stadiums?
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: No?
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: Would you all right? Would you be interested in stadiums?
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 3: No?
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: Why what is it about baseball? Because I'm the same way.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: What is it about baseball that we want to go
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: to their venues?
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: Because baseball has a history of like building their part
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: their guess why they're called parks. They're built within the cities,
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: and they always have like great skylines. There's always like
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: an aesthetic too.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: That's a great point.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: I genuinely believe, like, yes, baseball is a sport. I'm
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: not arguing that, but baseball is more of like an experience,
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like it's not like like
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: when I go to I guess I'm totally all experiences,
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: but like when I go to a basketball game, Yeah,
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: the number one thing I'm locked in on are the
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: players and what's going on in the game, the actual game.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: In baseball, there's so much downtime. It's a long game.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of conversation between you and friends going on.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: It's not a sport you have to like really lock
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: into the whole time. A lot of people like to
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: walk the concourse and you know, check out the stadium.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: It's a very aesthetic sport, you know what I mean.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: Like it it?
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: So, yes, I'd be more inclined to go see every
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: MLB stadium or park or whatever rather than football, basketball,
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: or like hockey or something.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: All right, So which stadium of baseball would you want
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: to go to? First?
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: Mmm?
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 2: Probably Dodger Stadium. Oh that's a great one.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: I I would say, like Yankee Stadium. Yeah, like it
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: it's the newer one, now, yeah, if it was the
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: older one, to be different.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: That's what I would think. Yeah, so yeah, Dodger Stadium
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: is probably my thick. Yeah, I've been to Dodger Stadium.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: I've been well, I the iconic stadiums have already been
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 2: to and so outside of that and to me, the
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: icon and you correct me if I'm wrong? Are you?
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 2: You add one if you want to, Matthew, But I
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: think of the iconic stadiums in Major League Baseball. You
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 2: got the Dodgers, You've got Red Sox, somewhat, the Yankees,
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: I think, uh in Wrigley Field, Cubs. I would add
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 2: a is it Bush?
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: Is that the the Saint Louis Cardinals. Yes, I think
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: they're on there. And I'll add PNC Park, the Pitsfurgh Pirates.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: Oh would you really?
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: I went to Pirate. I went there last summer. That
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: place is gorgeous.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 2: Is it really is?
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: A like I remember sitting in my seat and thinking
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: the like the backdrop of that stadium, like you know
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: out towards you know, center field literally looks like it's
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: a green screen. It's like two perfect like it's it's
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: exactly set up to where like the bridge covers like
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: the out the outskirts of left field, and then the
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: backgrounds just far enough the city is out is like
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: not like you'd have to like really sit there and
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: experience it to understand. It looks fake, like it looks
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: like it's not real. How perfect it looks. Yes, I'd
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: put VNC Park up there. Okay, interesting maybe not in
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: like historically, but like if we're talking right now, like
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: like renovated stadiums i'd pick.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: I'd picked Camden. Which one's that one? Baltimore Orioles? Yeah,
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: I like that one. Uh. And I'd like to go
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: see the Nationals Ballpark park in Washington. I've been there
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 2: one time. It's nice.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: Have you really We went when I was in eighth grade,
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: We took a trip to Washington, DC and we had
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: one day off in there.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 2: We went and saw it as Yeah. Uh, those would
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: be the two that probably probably probably picked first, Probably
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 2: the Giants after that, because I haven't been to their
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: new I went to Candlestick that was pretty iconic. But yeah,
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 2: they keep changing him so much. I guess Chase Stadium
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 2: is still there, but they don't the Mets don't play
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 2: there anymore, so they now have a new Bets Bar
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 2: Park or No, they do play at Shase Stadium, don't they.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: I don't remember which it is. I know the Yankee
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: Stadium is new. The old park was in the U
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 2: is now a parking lot for the new Yankee Stadium.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 2: That's a bummer. I don't care about the White Sox.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 2: I've been to their stadium before, but would.
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: You count the roads well, I mean it's the original
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: baseball team. They are like Opening Day is like the
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: biggest in Cincinnati.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 2: I've always wanted to go to Opening Day one time
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 2: in Cincinna. I have never done that. But Great American Ballpark,
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: it's not it's Ebott's Field. I think it was the
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: original field. I never wins, but I always went to Riverfront.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: That's where I remember going. That was a horrible stadium
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: because you know it was between It was a baseball
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 2: slash football stadium. Those were terrible stadiums. By the way.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: Was that the which one was where the Raiders played
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: in the A's played What was that stadium called?
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, I don't remember what that was.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: That was a horrible that was Luckily I couldn't see
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: it because they left it.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 2: Mum.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: Maybe because like when the Raiders would play, I'm like,
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: I can't focus because I'm just looking at third base
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: right now, like.
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 2: Exactly, you could tell where the baseball field was, and
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 2: sometimes they would still have the dirt out there back
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 2: in the eighties because they wouldn't take the dirt out
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 2: because you still had baseball season going on. It was weird.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: Oh how a guy said, Shaye Stadium is now city
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: field a city field.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, thank you. I appreciate that. Uh, baseball stadiums are
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 2: mostly different and have different looks to them. Football, basketball,
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 2: and hockey are played on the same dimensions everywhere. Yeah, okay,
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 2: I get that, so everything's different. The part I love
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: about the Red Sox they took their original scoreboard from
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 2: a Finnway Park and they sent it to Naples, Florida
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: to I think it's called Jet Blue Stadium down there
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 2: where their spring training is. So if you go to
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 2: spring training to watch the Red Sox play, they're a
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 2: home field jet Blue Park, you get to see the
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: original scoreboard from Finway Park. I thought that was pretty cool.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: I've always wanted to do the Grapefruit League just to
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: go see the spring training. I thought that would be
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 2: fun too.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: I'm very judgmental on the MLB in terms of like
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: rules and stuff and how same needs a change.
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 2: I've been very adamant on that.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: Yes, one thing that like, isn't it you know, historical
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: presence of the MLB that I love is that, like
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: the stadiums have different dimensions. Yeah, and the reasoning behind
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: that is because they had to fit the parks within
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: like major cities, say physically, like some of these arenas
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: could not fit right in the neighborhood, so they had
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: to change the dimensions.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 2: Of each party. Isn't that crazy?
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: So I love that that just became like a way,
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: like that's the one like old school rule of baseball
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: that makes.
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 2: Me, yeah, that I love. I think it was Oscar
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 2: Combs that used tell me at Ebotts Field, you get
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: in the outfield and you'd start going up to give
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 2: you an indicator that you're getting close to the fence.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 2: So it wasn't even level that's funny, which I thought
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 2: was hilarious. Yeah, I do love that. I've always wanted
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 2: to go to Red Sox game and sit on the
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 2: green wall. I think that would be a fun experience.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 2: I don't think the height would be good for me
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 2: because I'm scared of heights, but I'd like to try
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 2: it once just to sit at the green Wall.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: The highest I've ever sat at a baseball game. It
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: actually made me uncomfortable. Was last year when I went
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: to the Pittsbord Pirates game. Yes, it wasn't like packed
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: in there, so like we could have just moved we
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: wanted to, but I go sit in my seat, like
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to bother anybody. Plus I'm
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: not a Pirates fan, so I was just there to
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: watch the game.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 2: It was a big deal.
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: We were sitting in the top left of the stadium.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: There was maybe like five rows above us. I genuinely
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: thought I was like about the jump off the skyscraper.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: I was like, I would not imagine. No. Thanks he because,
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: like you know, I go to Reds games all the time.
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: They don't have any of that.
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: I was like, I I feel like I'm on the
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: top level of an NFL stadium, Like I couldn't big.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Ohio guy said Oakland Coliseum. That was the
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 2: name of the stadium out there where the Raiders in
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 2: the A's plate. Uh in one texture, said Michael. It's
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 2: called the green Monster, not the green Wall. Well it's
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: a green wall. You're right, it's the Monster. I mean
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 2: you're not wrong. I know, but it's okay. I like
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 2: that he correct me. That's Jamie, so Jamie can correct me.
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 2: It's okay. If I wouldn't let him probably arrest me. So, uh,
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 2: let's take our last break. I will talk a little
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 2: bit about Belmont Stakes coming up on Saturday. And uh
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 2: we had a Jose Conseko incident last night, and uh,
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 2: I know the the player. Oh too. Well, let's stay
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 2: right there. One more segment of just the Cat's coming
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 2: right up. This is the sound, this is the sounds
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 2: to stop. I appreciate you doing that right there. One
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 2: of the best concerts I ever went to was Aero Smith.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 2: They were fantastic. I I so you know that song,
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 2: don't you? Okay? Good? All right? Then have you seen
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 2: the refcam as we go through the Stanley Cup right now? No, okay,
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 2: it's it's pretty freaking cool. And listen. I have been
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 2: watching it so much now that I would prefer there
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 2: to be an alternative feed with just the refcam and
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 2: watch the hockey game. That would be fantastic.
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: Oh you mean like the UFL does Oh they have one, yep.
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that every has a cam on. Yeah,
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: but that's not quite as exciting. At least, the officials
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: in NHL are right there pretty much on every single
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: play UF.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, oh my gosh, man, I give up
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 2: with you. Okay, this is going to be a long
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 2: time with.
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: You Soonkers isn't live though, they just use it for
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: free plays and stuff. Yeah yeah, okay, all right, then
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: I'm glad that's the case. All right, Let's talk about
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: Angels outfielder Jordan Adelle, which now goes by Joe. I've
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: known Jordan since he was, ah, gosh, seven years old.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: He's from Louisll, Kentucky, went to Ballot High School, almost
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: went to u of L, but he went ahead and
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: signed the MLB contract with the Angels.
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 2: Did you watch this last night? So when I say
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 2: he did a Jose Conseco, do you know what I'm
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 2: talking about? Maybe? Jose Conseco is known famously not just
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 2: a great baseball player, but for a blooper home run
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 2: where someone hit a ball he lost it, it hits
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 2: on his head and bounces over the outfield wall. Well,
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 2: unfortunately for Jordan Dale last night, Joe ad It's hard
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 2: for me to call him Joe. I've known him as
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 2: Jordan all his life, but Jordan.
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 2: There was a player for Colorada Rockies, a designated hitter
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 2: named TJ. Rumfield, who hit a ball and Joe lost
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 2: it in the twilight of the stadium lights last night
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 2: in Los Angeles and the ball hits him on the
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 2: head and goes over the outfield wall. Is that embarrassing
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: or do you just kind of shake it off? To me,
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 2: you just gotta shake it off. You can't that let
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 2: that kind of stuff bother you.
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, if you're a professional athlete, like every
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: once in a while in life, things happen exactly like
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: I have in my lifetime's probably had five or six instance,
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: and like that's a one in a million chance that
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: just happened, which is unlucky timing and stuff. If you're
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: if we're letting stuff like that get to us, then yeah,
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: we can't be a professional.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 2: I hope it doesn't bother him. I know a lot
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 2: of people are gonna make fun of him for this,
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 2: but you know, let me see you go play baseball.
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna be biased because I love Joe. Joe. He
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 2: is the nicest kid from the nicest parents you'll ever
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 2: meet your life. That still live here in Louisville, and
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 2: Jordan is a good young man and obviously a great athlete.
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 2: But just let's laugh it off. Okay, let's just have
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 2: fun with them, not against him. But I thought it
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: was kind of funny. I mean that that just happens.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, we're all human, just like when I see
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 2: golfers out there in the PGA Tour that duff a ball.
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 2: They're all going to do it one time, and it
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 2: makes the regular people feel normal that a professional golfer
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 2: can screw up. But I thought this was crazy. Steph
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 2: Curry's shoe deal from a China company called le Leaning
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 2: ten year endorsement deal for over four hundred million dollars.
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 2: I have never heard of Leaning, but you know what,
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 2: I guarantee it's going to give whatever shoe companies here
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 2: in the United States to run for their money.
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, if I had that deal, I'd be leaning
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: on that them a whole life. Oh my gosh, nice joke,
• 1:32:07
