I remember two Kentucky sports radio here. It's ks Bar

least until we close, which is not the wee hours, but.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
We it's night. It's gonna be.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
You know, the weather's starting to be like the normal
temperature here, it's gonna be probably eighties, early low nineties
from now on.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Right.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yeah, it's just a rain like the next four days,
so is it? Yeah, bummer, you really follow the weather reports,
don't you?
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Are you there's an age where people look at the
weather every single day.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I'm not at that age yet, are you. I?
Speaker 2 (01:43):
I'm there when i'd like to be outside, you know,
hang out by the pool. Last night I sat out
and watched the pacers and then and so do you
just go out home.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
And just sit out by the pools by yourself?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Last night?
Speaker 5 (01:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
So are we talking like shirt off?
Speaker 5 (01:58):
No?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I had a shirt on? Okay, Yeah, it was just
me sitting out there watching the pace.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Is your is your yard fenced in? Yes?
Speaker 4 (02:04):
So you could just go out there however you want
it right like it's your world and I have.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
I will say, you can still see into his area
from someplace.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Yes, but you know, if it's dark.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
That's good. I'm glad to hear that. Eight nine two
eight twenty two eighty seven. I want to talk just
a second about we talked yesterday and then we went
by the way.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Congrats to the Darren and his friends. Y.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Yeah, I thought they did a good job filling in
and winning the contest. I thought they did an excellent job,
much better than I would have thought. I fence to
them just because it's just a hard gig. I thought
they did well. I thought you guys thought. I thought
it went really well.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I'm with you went a lot better than I thought
it was going to and it gives me confidence. Now
we do it again, we still have some success.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
The next person will probably be there, but we did
by at least. Let's not press our luck. We got
those guys were smart. You when he told me he
was graduating from Pharmacus school, I knew he had to
be smart, right, you had to.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
So of like, smart helps a lot, so I but
so that was good.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
But we had been talking and so we had to
stop about this this settlement on this case, and I
understand that it's not the most exciting fun radio in
the world to talk about the settlement of a lawsuit.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
But I read a lot about.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
It yesterday because two of the four, so the all
the small schools, have agreed to the settlement. Now the
ACC and the Big twelve have as well. So the
only two left are the SEC and the Big Ten, which,
by the way, are the two that have to do
it like they're the ones that, ultimately, like the other
twenty nine conferences or thirty, can be cool with it.
(03:43):
But if the SEC and the Big ten are not
cool with it, it any happening. So that's so the big
part is still to come. But I was reading more
about the ramifications, and if anything I have to say,
I may have even undersold it in the sense of
so the way this is going is there going to
be two point I said two billion. Now the number
is two point eight billion dollars. Two point eight billion
(04:08):
dollars for former athletes, so former athletes. Now, I don't
know what sports it is. I don't know if it's
just football and basketball, if it includes baseball, I'm sure
it'll include women's basketball, because I don't know how they
could do it otherwise. But does it include like tennis
and swimming, You know, I don't know, but it is
going to certainly include football, basketball, and I would assume
(04:29):
certainly include women's basketball. Two point eight billion to be distributed.
So think about that logistical nightmare. How in the world
do you pay that out? But somebody's going to have
to figure it out.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Yes, right, But then twenty twenty to twenty two million.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Dollars a year set aside by each school. And what
is that money for. Well, part of that money will
be to pay to the NCAAA to pay back that
two point eight billion dollars in whatever, and then part
of it is for athletes. And basically they're probably going
to set a cap of let's say thirty million dollars,
(05:13):
but teams will have to pay let's say twelve and
schools can decide what they want to.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Pay in between that based on their decisions. Now, a
lot of that's in the weeds. But here's where I
think you're gonna see it the most. I think you're
gonna see sports. A couple of sports are going to
be cut. It's just going to happen. I don't I mean,
I don't think there's gonna be any way around it. Also,
(05:41):
these coaches salaries are going down, like they just are.
There is gonna be no way that these schools will
be able to pay what they are paying for football
and basket coach ball coaches in perpetu it. And even
if they don't go down, they ain't gonna keep rising.
Like you know, how we said this was the year
to be in the portal. This was probably a year
to go get hired as a head coach or to
(06:02):
get your contract extended.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Right.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
But I think the other thing is, all of a sudden,
a skill that is a very important skill in pro
sports but has really not mattered a lot in college
is going to now be hugely important, which is the
GM of the school, which is essentially the athletic director.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
But now budgets. It used to be that these.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Schools kind of whatever they needed to pay, they had
or at least they had access to.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
I just don't think that's going to be true anymore.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
And so now these schools are going to have to
make choices that are going to decide the competitiveness of
their programs or not. As I had one person involved
in athletics for a smaller school. Tell me, I don't
care if you're Ohio State, Texas or whatever. You ain't
gonna be able to be good at everything anymore. So
(07:00):
you're just gonna have to decide what you wanna be
good at, cause you ain't gonna be good at everything anymore.
The days that like Texas and Texas is the main example.
But Ohio State mission pick the school, We're gonna be
good at every sport.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
You just ain't gonna be able to do that anymore.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
So the schools are gonna have to decide what sports
are important to us, and they're probably all gonna choose football,
and they'll probably most of them choose basketball. But after that,
you probably got have to look at one of the
secondary and sports and go all right, well, we're gonna
be tennis, we're.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Gonna be volleyball, and like, cause you're not gonna be
able to be good drew at everything from now on.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
And what they're talking about maybe twenty million a year
for some of these schools. I worry how much we'll
trickle down to fans too when we see ticket increases.
Will they be trying to get more money from fans
to make up that.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Much more money I think you can get. I mean,
we see this here at UK basketball until this year
that those like they were big chunks of empty sections
at UK basketball.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Imagine what it's going with It's like at these other schools.
You can't.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
I mean, Alabama had some football games that weren't full.
It's true, right, Alabama had football games that were not full.
You can't, I mean, you can't keep going forever.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Do you do you see a situation where, like some schools,
I'm just gonna use Eastern this as an example where
you know it costs so much to run a football program,
getting rid of even something in like football.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Yeah, I mean I'm not saying Eastern, but there will
be schools that will do that. In what is this
twenty twenty four end of May, In twenty twenty six
end of May, this will be a completely different college
sports universe.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Now here's the good news.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
It sounds a lot of it sounds like gloom and
do The last few months have felt like the wild
West of college sports, right, like Tyson Chicken's gonna give
four million, Jerry with Jones and ball this stuff, and
like it seems out of can what this settlement will
do is it's going to allow rules to be put
in place. And so while I think these next two
(09:07):
years are going to be bumpy, college sports, from twenty
twenty six on, I think has a chance to be stable,
but it's going to look completely different than it looks now,
and I don't think people.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Really are ready for what's about to have.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Wow, And I think some of the hardest choices are
coming this summer where some of these big schools are
going to have to this summer make decisions as to
what they're going to do with programs.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
So you said, like the SEC and the Big Ten
that they will decide as a conference or is it
up to the eat individual school.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
They decide as a conference. Okay, and then real quick
worth talking about what athletes do. Okay, So let's say
you're a high school athlete. A lot of people listening
will have kids who will be high school or who
have a chance to be a college athlete. A college
athlete will come to a school and they are, as
part of the lawsuit, automatically part of this class. Right
(10:00):
Drew decides to play basketball at Kentucky, if he does nothing,
he is part of this class and he will get
an amount of money. How what that amount of money
is will be set by UK. UK will decide out
of the twenty million dollars that are going to athletes,
how much is going to basketball players and how much
is going to football players. And guess what schools are
(10:21):
gonna show their priorities by what they choose there, right, Yeah,
that's gonna be interesting. There are gonna be some basketball
coaches who think the football team's getting too much, and
there're gonna be some football coaches who think the basketball
team's gonna be much.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
And there's some baseball coaches going we ain't getting anything.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
But when you sign up for a school, you're gonna
you're gonna be part of that class unless an athlete
will have the ability to opt out.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
And negotiate their own thing.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
And my assumption is a lot of great ones will
do that, right, a lot of great ones will do.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
That, which adds a whole nother piece to it.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
But it's college sports has always been a business, but
the business side of it is about to be a
lot more prominent than it used to be. And I
just don't know that people ryan are realizing that. And
we're two conferences away from agreeing to this. The SEC
and the Big Ten are the last two, and the
reports are the SEC is deciding today and the Big
(11:20):
Ten is deciding tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
And you think they'll both agree to it.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
I think they don't have a choice. Yeah, they don't
have a choice.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
There's no other system unless they want to spend the
next decade getting hauled.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
To court and losing.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Because I get a lot of people that write me like,
we put this up yesterday, and a lot of people
write me and go.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Matt, why don't they throw out and burber berber.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Like when the Supreme Court rules nine O, folks, it's over.
There ain't nobody else to go to. When Justice Alito,
who's flying an upside down flag, and when Soda Mayor
who is marching in the Black Lives Matter protests, when
the two of them agree, you're done, Like you're done,
(12:04):
so you just now have to accept the new world.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
What is Mark Emmert doing after he had fifteen years
of sitting on a golden toilet up there in Indianapolis
and just rolling in money? He got to sneak out
of this right as he got messy? Where's he insist?
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Every college basketball fan will owe if this if we
come through this successfully. Everybody will owe Charlie Baker, the
new president, a lot of sport.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Just to give you an example of him.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
When they hired him to be the new president of
the NCAA, I thought, man, that's got to be a
great move.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
He was a.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Republican governor of Massachusetts who had eighty five percent approval
in the most democratic state in America.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
That said to me, that dude must be pretty good
at what he does.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Right for a state that wants to disagree with him
for everyone to agree with him. The NCAA hired him,
and from what I can tell, he seems to be
doing a very good job.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Ryan of navigating this so far.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
That's tough to you should be put him, But yeah,
I guess we put a lot of trust in him.
His leadership.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Well, they don't really have a choice.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
And I actually think Mitch Barnhart, by the way, because
Mitch Barnhart is the longest tenured ad in the SEC,
I think a lot of the you know, let's be real,
the SEC and the Big ten were huge in crafting
this settlement.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
I actually think Mitch.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Barnhart had a lot to do with it, probably so
because because he is the dean kind of.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
The sec A d S. Who's next, Jeff.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Jeff, go ahead, Jeff, hey man, Hey guys, how are
you guys doing doing good?
Speaker 7 (13:35):
Not to change the subject, ony, but since you brought
up your disregard and dislike of dogs, I thought I
would bring up that puppy mill thing and Lexington again, they're.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Voting on that.
Speaker 7 (13:45):
The council is voting on that next month.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Okay, And it's.
Speaker 7 (13:49):
Not it's really not designed to keep people from selling
dogs like from neighbor to neighbor. It's really just to
keep those pet stores from selling these puppy mills.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
But it also will have the effect of saying you
can't sell from neighbor to neighbor, right, I mean that
may not be what it's designed for, but it may
have that effect.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
It could maybe to a small effect. Yeah, I think
it kind of people report that. But if those pet
stores would just kind of partner with the humane societies,
the rescues and sold those dogs, there really wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Be any problem, gotcha? All right? Well, thank you, I
appreciate the goal. That's going to be quite a council meeting.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Maybe we'll send Mario to go to the Dog Council meeting,
because that's going to be quite a thing.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I think I just saw something that the Humane Society
is at full capacity. They need some help. If you're
looking about adopting a dog, go out there. They need
some help right now.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Perfect good stuff. We'll take a break, be right back.
If I've nine eight twenty two eighty seven. Kentucky's losing
two nothing and not done well, so for them early,
we'll take a break right back. You're exactly right, dude.
This is totally the dogs in that commercial.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yep.
Speaker 6 (14:55):
You know I want to donate right now, reaching into
my pocket.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Yeah, yeah, it's like, all right, you don't have a dime.
Are there still places shit? And speaking of diamonds where
I can turn coins into money?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Uh yeah, I think there's like machines that you can dump.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
But they still exist. They still like Kroger because I
am stars. You know.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Now I don't have any coins, but I still have
a huge jar of them that I thought I was
gonna save to one day like take a vacation on.
But now they're just in the way, and so I
think I'm gonna go turn them in. You have to
pay like a crazy rate though, to do it at
the thing, don't.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Yeah, you may end up with a lot of money
that have to be you're spending money to go on
your trip. Some banks will still do that for you
and not charge, but.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
You have to roll it.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Most banks, don't you. They make you bring it. I
think they make you bring it in.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
My bank doesn't.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
You can just take it in like a big sock.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
You have to separate the coins. You don't even have
to do that. So if I just walk in with
my big product quarters, they'll let me all right, yeah, hey,
uh to my bank out there.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Sorry, they told me to do it.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
So when I walk in there in the next couple
of days, it's not my fault.
Speaker 6 (16:06):
Twenty six dollars.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
What is this jar you have? I'm curious now what
it looks like. It's like a big old pickle jar.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
I don't know about you.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Like I don't use cash anymore, Yeah, I mean I
rarely use cash, and so everything's a card.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
So I don't ever have coins, but I used to
have a big like so you're gonna make fun of
me about this.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Like I don't you know, I don't I don't cook, shocking,
so I have like a big pot that you would
use for cooking, but it's just filled with coin that
utensil I mean no, I mean there's coins that have
been there for probably probably fifteen years. So I'm not
gonna ever use that pot because I feel like stuff
(16:49):
might have I don't know, there's probably probably not good,
but I.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Have a like like that you could put like a turkey.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
In full of coin full of coins to haul that
to the bank.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
It's probably heavy.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Guarantee it's heavy. They're gonna call the police immediately when
they see somebody opening.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
A pot full of coins.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Do you think they'll think it's weird if I walk
in with a.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Pot full of coins?
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Least?
Speaker 3 (17:13):
So what would you put them in?
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Anything? A baggie or any Yeah, listen, you've got to
take you gotta take Mario there. He's got to go
with you.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
And will you go with me to the bank with
my pot full of coins? Okay?
Speaker 6 (17:25):
Because after you drop the coins and they're separating them,
then you're just the guy standing at the bank with
an empty pot. And I think that's that's I'll.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Give them a pot. They can have a pot in
the pot too, thank you for their troubles. They could
have the pot bank. Yeah, all right, if I'm nine
seven Scheffler. He uh.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
The video went everywhere yesterday, so the whole nation was
commenting on our our price, our district county attorney excuse
me in Louisville. And then Romans you get on TikTok.
I don't know how many of you are on the TikTok,
but you get on TikTok. Romans is everywhere, and like
people in the comments section stand in him like yeah,
(18:04):
They're all like, I want.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Him to be my lawyer. Can he cut?
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Like for Romans, this is the best thing that's ever
happened for him, isn't it.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I mean he was in the middle of Breonna Taylor,
but this may be give him more exposures.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Certainly getting more TikTok exposure.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yes, yes, yeah, it's It is kind of fascinating when
you watch that video to hear their argument back and forth,
you know, in a formal setting like that.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Well, the argument the district tournament was was terrible. Almost
said it. It was terrible because he acknowledged the argument
he was making is not the legal standard. Romans pointed
it out, he said, I agree with him, and then
just kept arguing it, and the judgement and the judges
(18:45):
the judge genuinely seemed perplexed, like why are you arguing this?
Speaker 3 (18:48):
That's not the standard.
Speaker 6 (18:50):
You know, judge said it with romans pretty quickly. But
he's he's viral for that Southern draw.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
A lot of people that haven't heard of voice like
that's a Metcalfe County, metcalf County coming out out and going, well,
Judge especially.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
I mean, this is Scotty Scheffler, this is this is
a huge thing.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
And then you hear that. So what happened? So June
third is the new date. June third is the new date.
I'm gonna be gone. They're not gonna make him come
walk into that court, are they.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
I it'd be a circus of course. Does that what
the district attorney wants? Well, nobody knows. I mean that's
I think, why would you Why would you fight changing
the arraiment date unless you want the video of him
walking in?
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Right, So I think they got two weeks or while
I'm gone on June third, we're gonna have anhim Like.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
They can't do that. I mean that we do not,
this city, the city and state do not need that.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Videos coming out. Yeah, yes, peen me and the videos
coming out tomorrow. So I don't know what it's gonna show,
but there's a video now tomorrow that will come out.
Who knows, maybe that changes everything, Maybe it ends up
looking different after that. But I just I just feel
like we didn't need this story was already ridiculous, and
now yesterday or Monday.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Did not help because after that incident, I think everybody
was just rating of Valhalla and the golf tournament, and
the ratings are high. Everything was a huge success. But
this is going to continue to be the black cloud
that covers everything.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
And you can't Can you imagine if the sports centers
live outside the Jefferson County Courthouse as they're walking him.
I mean, yeah, I hope they.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
I hope they've got to be in Ohio at the
memorial just after that. It's not too long a drive.
He could pull off both. Yeah, who's up next, Steve, Steve,
go ahead, Steve.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Hey, guys, love the show.
Speaker 8 (20:45):
I just wanted to. I think I have the winning
entry for the song commercial thing. Okay, it's obviously more
current than the others, and I'd like to give you
guys a clue because I think the clue either Shannon
or Drew.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
Would probably get this.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Well, what is it?
Speaker 5 (21:02):
Uh? The clue is it's another truck commercial.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Okay, that's not a clue. Okay, what what? What into?

Okay, yeah, I don't know about that.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
I discovered her.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Do you all know that?
Speaker 5 (21:22):

We know who she mean, I know who Landey? Well,
like how the XX like? I know who Laney Wilson
is too.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
I mean, actually that's the kind of music I actually
listened to as opposed to.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
This is the song he's talking about, though.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
I don't know that. I don't know what he's talking about.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
I don't appreciate the call. Who's up next, Sean? Sean?
Go ahead? Sean?
Speaker 9 (21:43):
Hey, Matt. I usually just text the Vision Glass text machine,
but I had to call end today. Me and my
very beautiful and really really smart wife got into an
argument last night and she told me that I was stupid,
and I'm like, why would you say that to me
when you forced me to listen to ks R Matt
Jones says it all the time, so it's gotta be
(22:03):

Speaker 3 (22:05):
So this, Wow, I didn't realize that. I didn't realize
I used the word stupid that much. Did you?

Wait a minute, this woman says, I do.
Speaker 2 (22:17):

I don't want to set a bad example to the
to the young people.
Speaker 6 (22:41):
You know we're on the show with you. I've never
realized this, but this is now three people in an
hour that are saying it. So I'm wondering how many
how many others out there have this been?
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Had absolutely no idea? One person rites Matt. Have you
given up on.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
The Reds yet? The one last night? So there's one. Uh.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
They got the Dodgers this weekend, so that's gonna be fun.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
That's gonna be difficult.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Quick thing I'm gonna probably give away my tickets tonight
via social media, so just be watching for that. At
some point, I say this with love and respect to
all of you. Stop asking me for my tickets while
I'm on the break, okay, like I love all of
you all, but.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
Just it's okay, all right, You're not ticket a message.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Don't ask me to ask Maddie.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
I'm not a stupid question.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Unless I unless you TJ Smith personal injury attorney.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Call TJ.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
He'll make them pay.
Speaker 9 (23:37):
Now more.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Kentucky Sports Radio present it by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
Here's Matt Jones work.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
A back Tucky Sports Radio. If you're missing the SEC
tournament listening to us, thank you. Uh. Kentucky is down
two nothing to LSU after three Kentucky still doesn't have
a hit yet, which is.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Uh, I have a base runner. I think they're old
for nine.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Yeah, they had a guy just get out, which I've
never seen for Did you see that He got hit
by the pitch, but they said he leaned into it
and so he called him out.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
I didn't know that the punishment for that was to
be out.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
I didn't realize it either.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
I wasn't watching. I do I mean two oh. I
think if you've been paying attention, we'll take two oh
all day. Yeah, I believe they've left five on base.
This could be much uglier than it is right now.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
So if they if they win, we play tomorrow at
four thirty, and Ryan and I have talked about we
may organize a mini quick watch party if they win
tomorrow for the four to thirty game. If they lose,
it's during the show again tomorrow, so we'll have the
same issue with being on WSFC, and we'll have it
on during the show while we're here.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
At the bar.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
So either way, if they play tomorrow, you can watch
the game here, but we might do like a little
bit of watch party slash send Matt down the road
here tomorrow if we win today, which right now we are.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
We're not doing one person rights. Matt.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Don't fall for these people who tell you to not
have cash. The an all electronic money.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Society is the sign of the end of times. That
seems a little created. It's a little that's a lot,
isn't it like to.
Speaker 6 (25:11):
Hear more about their thoughts.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
People always say it's the end of times.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
By the way, you know, people are always saying like
they always say it's the end of times. And the
thing is, people have been saying that since humans were created.
If you read history, there's been in every generation someone
has said the world is about to end, and at
some point someone's gonna be right.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
But we skip over all the people that were wrong.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
Right.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Like seriously, when I was a kid, remember we got
out of school one day because the world was gonna end.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
A lot of people don't realize that we did. One time.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
We got out of school because they said the world
was gonna end because of an earthquake yep, And did
it happen Nope, No, and then it never happens, and
then nobody gets punished for being wrong, right, And so
every day everybody's like, well, you know, that's the sign
of the end of times.
Speaker 6 (26:01):
Look, trunk money, it's finally gonna be the one that
does it.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Credit Card's gonna take us down.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
There a people thought cars were gonna do that. The Internet,
the you know, fire, the wheel birds. It just feels
like it feels like that's something I just I don't
buy any of.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
That, do you.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
We went from nineteen ninety nine to the year two thousand,
the whole wood was supposed to shut down because you know,
all the computers couldn't handle the zero zero part of it.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
That got that Okay, yeah, I got through that as well. Folks,
the uh, I wanted to tell you, we still have
a handful of the railbird parking tickets, so if you
want one, you need to get it soon. Well, I'll
put that parking pass up again today, but we uh,
we're gonna we're gonna have this lot full, so you
need to do it relatively soon.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Who's next, Mike, Mike, go ahead, Mike.
Speaker 10 (26:52):
Hey, how you guys doing doing good? Hey, I gotta
a little off topic. But my wife works with the
High Hospital. Okay, and see that there is a prostate
drug that has amazing side effects that makes your hair,
your hair grow back.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
I mean, are you being Is this like a joke,
like are you gonna have a punchline?
Speaker 10 (27:16):
The reason, the reason I was caught in the guy
yesterday was a pharmacist. And I'm wondering if if you
don't have prostate issues, let it hurts you to take
a prostate drug, if you to make your hair grow back.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
Well, first of all, I don't think that we're the
people to ask that question.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Too.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
I would ask a medical professional, but you're saying there's a.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Well, all right, I appreciate the call. Do you believe that?
Speaker 5 (27:41):
Maybe?
Speaker 2 (27:41):
I mean, who knows?
Speaker 3 (27:43):
How have they not made a drug for people's hair
to grow back?
Speaker 2 (27:46):
That's the crazy thing.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
We have drugs to do everything. How have they not
fixed that?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
I don't have an answer for you.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Are you gonna be able to host this for two months?
Speaker 2 (27:55):
I'm ready.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
I've gone to you twice in the last thirty seconds,
and you've said three words.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Well, that's I have no answer about the disaster of
the world over a credit card. That's ridiculous. This about
a drug that for weake your hair go back.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
I'm with you.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
I don't understand how we do not have that and
everything else, feeling that it.
Speaker 6 (28:12):
Would be money for that if that was to you're
the ones that's done the procedure. When you're going through
all this, was there any point? Are you ever gonna
do more of that?
Speaker 3 (28:19):
No?
Speaker 2 (28:20):
No, I think I'm happy with my Baalt spot back here.
I like my little hair up in the front. But
you wouldn't want to fill in the ballt spy. I
don't care. I can't see it.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
I respect that every time I get my haircut. That's
how I want the back. I'm like, I don't know,
I can't see it.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
I can't see it.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Yeah, but but you're glad you got on the front.
Speaker 8 (28:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
I like that right there, or I would be completely
bald right now.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
It does make you look younger, don't you.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
I mean, the the pictures of you before you got
there got it, you look older than you look now.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
And that was like literally like six years ago.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Longer than that one.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (28:56):
Yeah, but you don't you think you be rocking a
solid horseshoe right now?
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Oh, you looked.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
You look a lot younger as it is. I actually
think it worked well for you.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Well, thank you, sir.
Speaker 6 (29:05):
So do you wish it had been a pill instead
of the I mean, you went well because it didn't hurt.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
It hurt, it hurt.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
It's uncomfortable for three days.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
I still have the picture of your scabbed up heads
awful remote.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
You were a trooper.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
He came to a remote the day after his hair surgery,
and where they put it in. Each hair was a
scab and it was you look it was really odd looking.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
You were also in a lot of pain. You had
to wear like a chef's hat. Yes, and you said,
don't take it off. It would do it on the
show live on the show. So I hadn't seen it either.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
I have a somewhere in this phone there's a picture
of your scabby head, and it was it was awful,
it was it didn't look good.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
I'll grant that. Who's next, n Kevin? Go ahead? Kevin?
Speaker 5 (29:49):
Yes? Uh?
Speaker 4 (29:51):
How like the way the team that's coming in, what
would be your starting five?
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Okay? Are we saying with or without Jackson Robinson?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
The makeup right now?
Speaker 5 (30:03):
Without him?
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Without him? All right?
Speaker 4 (30:05):
Without him, They're gonna start Lamont Butler at point guard point,
They're gonna start uh Amari Williams at center.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
They're gonna start Andrew Carr at power forward, and.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Then Bray you will he be the shooting guard who
bray you? The dude from Dayton I mean Brea Brea maybe,
but it also could be that kid from Oklahoma.
Speaker 6 (30:27):
Yeah, he might have to be a wing in the
scenario if you don't get rob he might have to do.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Might have to play him both. You probably would play.
Speaker 6 (30:34):
Bray three for Robinson, But the scenario otherwise.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
I think you would start.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
If let's say Robinson comes, then I think your starting
lineup is Butler, Brea, Robinson, Carr Williams with always your
sixth and set maybe Chandler R seventh And then you
see what who develops amongst everybody else?
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Is that?
Speaker 6 (30:53):
How you don't forget our boy Kirk Risa in the
back court. But I don't think he'd start, but he'd
be one of the first off the bench.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
Now he'll definitely be like an annoy off the beach,
coming in and doing stuff that's.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Perfect for him. But we know of him, you know
the guy that comes in and immediately a little little juice.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
With Let's say you don't get Jackson Robinson, because I
do think it is important to think about the worst
possible option. Let's say you don't get him. I assume
they'll find someone. But let's say the team as it's
constituted now is the best form of the team will have.
How good are they?
Speaker 2 (31:26):
I mean, I think they're good, good enough to get
to the weekend of the SEC tournament and maybe the
second weekend in the NCAA tournament. I think they're good
enough to.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
Do that well, So they're sweet sixteen good probably you
think they're that good.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
I agree.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
I won't be thinking thoughts about, you know, planning trips,
so we're gonna be at this stop in the NCAA
turnam won't be getting ahead of myself with each round.
But I think they would be in the postseason and
would be uh you know, I think Alabama's gonna be
really strong in the SEC, but not far behind them
in a third four fifth, So you would put them
third fourth in the SEC. Yeah, they wouldn't win it,
but they would be in the top half in the
(31:59):
we haven't won it. Sometimes I'm not saying it's gonna
be worse off. Also, I think if they don't get
Jackson Robinson, a lot has been made about Pope's binder
that he's been seeing with at the Peach Jam, that
dude's got a backup plan that we just don't know.
He has to. He's way too prepared and on top
of this to be all in on one guy at
this point, and whether it be a reclass international and
(32:20):
other guy's not being said. I don't believe Pope will
strike out on Robinson and uh Lan Aar and not
have something else.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
I think it's gonna be interesting to see what happens.
The cal Era allowed fans to do this. It allowed
everyone during the offseason dream of success. So if you
think about it, in the cal Era, we were always
a national championship contender in May, June, July, August, September, October,
(32:49):
so he had six months in our head of being
a national championship contender.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Then sometimes it remained and sometimes.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
It didn't, but you had six months that we walked
around going, we can win the national championship. What's gonna
be interesting this year is the final result could be better,
likely will be better than it was last year. Yeah,
but we will not have those six months before of
thinking we're a national championship contender and we shouldn't let
(33:17):
that change our psyche about the season.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Does that make sense.
Speaker 6 (33:21):
I think that can be a good thing too.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
It can be a good thing, but it will One
of the things that is exciting about being a Kentucky
fan during the cal Era is this idea of the
always the possibility. Right, the possibility was always exciting, exciting,
exciting and exciting, and then when it doesn't happen, it
was major disappointment. But then you would just go, well,
but next year, right, this is gonna be like more
(33:45):
realistic based, and I just think it's gonna take our
fan base a little while to adjust to that rhyme,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Yeah, And I, like Drew said, I think that could
be a good thing for our fan base to kind
of have a reset and get our expectations kind of
and check a little bit that. You know, this year
may not be a national championship year, but let's give
him time to get to that point.
Speaker 5 (34:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
Seven, these people right here live in Austria. Yeah, I
heard him say that in Austria.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
In Vienna. I've been to.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
I've been a week in Vienna. You did, Yeah, my
brother lived there. He was there working there from the military.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
What do you remember of your Vienna? Because I may go,
I've never been to Vienna. I may go, what what
do you remember?
Speaker 2 (34:22):
And we ate a lot of Viner's Fitzel, Yeah, a
lot of beer.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
But did you think like it was a beautiful city?
Speaker 2 (34:29):
It was awesome. We went to all the tourist stuff
around Vienna.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Give me.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
We went some underground submarine place where they used to
make submarines underground.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
They looked very surprised. Yeah, I don't Shannon, I don't
think that that's true. Yeah, believe they made the submarines underground.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Yeah, and they shot some movie down there that they
were making, like during.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
The World Universal Studios in Hollywood.
Speaker 6 (34:56):
The Epcot Center at Austria stop is not.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Actually you go down and get in a boat like
you are.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
I had to walk in down.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
Okay, I can believe that there's a submarine museum, But
are you telling me they make the submarines underground?
Speaker 2 (35:09):
They did during the war to kind of hide their work.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Oh okay, okay, all right, I can buy that. I
can buy that.
Speaker 4 (35:17):
So this was but Austria, they were they were on
Germany side, weren't they.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
Yeah, so you were like visiting the other side.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Yeah, it was a tourist it's a tourist attraction.
Speaker 5 (35:28):
Now.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
We went to some outdoor uh plaza where they had
pizza outside and to this day it's the best pizza
I've ever had in my life.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
I remember that in Austria.
Speaker 6 (35:41):
In Austria does look like one class submarine was started
in Austria.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Austria.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
But you know, I mean that's like saying the best
sushi you had was in like Spain, Like that's not
like you know what I mean. I mean, pizza is
an Italian thing, not in Austria.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
They put some magic in that though, and it was awesome.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
Okay, I got a best fish and chips in my life.
They were actually in Guatemala. We'll take a breaking me
right back. It's Kentucky's Sports Radio working back. It is
Kentucky Sports Radio final segment. Here Wings day ks bar again,
all day, all night dollar Wings. Remember we've started a
(36:22):
new thing from two to five. We have like many
appetizer things that are like awesome. You can get like
two of them and it's a meal and they're five
bucks each. It's like a new deal they're starting, which
is actually a really good mid afternoon snatch.
Speaker 6 (36:37):
Yes, it's when you're watching your figure on the cheese
long My parents would call it dinner at three point
thirty in the afternoon.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
That but that they do that very helpful. It's awesome.
People get them yesterday.
Speaker 4 (36:47):
Yes, the Kentucky is now first and third, two outs
down to nothing, so maybe they could get something happen
another air. I've never seen a college baseball it has
so many errors. Yeah, you know, I mean, I haven't
watched a ton of it over the years, and watching
a lot of Kentucky they make like they make teams
make so many errors against.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Them, makes you appreciate you go watch the Reds that
make that make it look easy. You know, that's why
they're big Major leaguers.
Speaker 4 (37:14):
Like if they make an air, it's crazy, but in
college it happens all the time. One person writes, matt
if Uk is one of the premier baseball excuse me,
premier basketball programs in America. Why are we tempering our expectations?
We should hold every coach to the same standard winning
national championships. I love Pope, but it's just the way
it should be. Well, okay, but what every rule or
(37:44):
every standard has to have a punishment. So let's say
we don't have a chance to win the national championship
this year. What are you gonna do when you say,
when you say hold them to a standard, what are
you gonna do? Like, you gotta get the guy had
four weeks to build his rosters. Give him a break.
If in year two or year three, we're not pushing
(38:04):
for that different situation. But in year one, how many
teams have legitimately had a chance to win a national
championship in a year. One coach that wasn't just inheriting
a lineup. This doesn't happen, John CALIPERI gave us a shot,
(38:24):
but who else has any special And he had walling
DeMarcus Cousins. And I think this is important. He had
already been recruiting those guys for another school. Yes, we
hired a coach who wasn't recruiting the kind of players
we recruit here. He was recruiting to BYU. So he
had not gone after the top guys like Cal had
(38:46):
before he came here from Memphis.
Speaker 6 (38:47):
Well, Cousins had both said they were going wherever Cal was.
That wasn't a Kentucky thing. I mean it worked out
and they love Kentucky now, but in their recruitment, they
were just following Cal to wherever he was going.
Speaker 4 (38:56):
The only thing Kentucky got Cal with those dudes is
can Kentucky got Cal Eric Bledsoe? But he had recruited
Eric Bledsoe at Memphis as well, Right, I think Bledsoe
had visited even when Billy was here. He even had
been on Kentucky's campus before. Yeah, and and I you
know I said this over the last thirteen years of Cal.
(39:17):
The day Cal left. That next year was always going
to be hard because Cal recruits. I'm not criticizing this.
He does it and it worked for him. But he
recruits Cal. Right, he doesn't recruit Kentucky. He recruits Cal.
He said that at Arkansas. Yeah, he said, recruits. Say,
(39:38):
we're just changing the adres.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Huh.
Speaker 4 (39:41):
That worked when he was here. But that means when
you leave, you got to restart Ryan, which is what
we're having to do.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
I think it'll be fair to hold Mark Pope to
those standards in a year or two. Right now, he
took the job with one guy on the roster and
most of the top twenty kids already committed someplace. E.
Speaker 4 (39:58):
I'll go farther to say I think it is fully
reasonable to expecting year two to him have a top
ten to fifteen roster. That is reasonable in the transfer
portal era, with a year of recruiting with our nil base,
we should expect him to have a top ten to
fifteen roster next year.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
Yeah, but this year.
Speaker 4 (40:22):
You kind of have to do the best you can,
and I actually think they've done a pretty good job,
even though I think they need one more guy.
Speaker 6 (40:28):
And they only have to win one game in March
to be better than last year one in Nashville or
the other tournament one.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
Well, when you watch.
Speaker 4 (40:38):
Shepherd and Dillingham in the NBA, is that always gonna
be on your mind?
Speaker 3 (40:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (40:43):
I already think about it. Yeah, I still listen to
read and Rob I'm probably gonna get that to not
his pizza again before the draft. I I'm just with
those two. I'm still not over last season. Those are
two of my favorite. When I see PJ.
Speaker 4 (40:56):
Washington with Dallas, I don't sit there and think we
lost Kansas State, but I kind of feel like with
Reid and Rob, I'm gonna think that. I just I
just kind of feel like I think that my death bed.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
Could we know how good that team was and how
even better they could have been if you played the
right lineup the way you're supposed to. I'll never forget
Nate Oats saying after that Alabama game, hey, cow, we
just found your lineup. Like even he knew at that
moment that's the lineups gonna win you a lot of games.
Speaker 4 (41:23):
I know we've said this a thousand times, but I
want you to think. Sam Vicini just put that stat
out the other day when Reid, rob and Reeves were
in the game together, every one hundred possessions we outscored
the other team by thirty points. Every other lineup we
put on the court in one hundred possessions, we only
(41:45):
outscored them by six.
Speaker 3 (41:48):
That's crazy, six to thirty. And in the Oakland game,
they played two possessions together in the first half and
only played multiple minutes together in the last few minutes
of the game as we were desperately trying to say.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
You're losing. Unbelievable.
Speaker 6 (42:09):
That's and that's why, and that's why, and that's what
we are.
Speaker 4 (42:13):
We are and that's exactly why we are where we
are where we are right now. Thank you everybody for
coming out.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
Good to see you. Nice.
Speaker 4 (42:19):
Let's at lunch. We will be here again. Tomorrow be
the last day we're in Lexington. It's Don Franklin Nissan
in Somerset. They switched it from Kia to the Nissan.
So keep that in mind again if we If Kentucky
Baseball wins, they will play tomorrow at four point thirty.
If they lose, they will play tomorrow during this show
(42:39):
again as well, and be watching on social media because
I'm going to give my Reds tickets away tonight.

I remember two Kentucky sports radio here. It's ks Bar
and Grill. Come on out and see us dollar wings

least until we close, which is not the wee hours, but.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
We it's night. It's gonna be.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
You know, the weather's starting to be like the normal
temperature here, it's gonna be probably eighties, early low nineties
from now on.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Right.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yeah, it's just a rain like the next four days,
so is it? Yeah, bummer, you really follow the weather reports,
don't you?
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Are you there's an age where people look at the
weather every single day.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I'm not at that age yet, are you. I?
Speaker 2 (01:43):
I'm there when i'd like to be outside, you know,
hang out by the pool. Last night I sat out
and watched the pacers and then and so do you
just go out home.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
And just sit out by the pools by yourself?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Last night?
Speaker 5 (01:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
So are we talking like shirt off?
Speaker 5 (01:58):
No?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I had a shirt on? Okay, Yeah, it was just
me sitting out there watching the pace.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Is your is your yard fenced in? Yes?
Speaker 4 (02:04):
So you could just go out there however you want
it right like it's your world and I have.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
I will say, you can still see into his area
from someplace.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Yes, but you know, if it's dark.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
That's good. I'm glad to hear that. Eight nine two
eight twenty two eighty seven. I want to talk just
a second about we talked yesterday and then we went
by the way.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Congrats to the Darren and his friends. Y.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Yeah, I thought they did a good job filling in
and winning the contest. I thought they did an excellent job,
much better than I would have thought. I fence to
them just because it's just a hard gig. I thought
they did well. I thought you guys thought. I thought
it went really well.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I'm with you went a lot better than I thought
it was going to and it gives me confidence. Now
we do it again, we still have some success.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
The next person will probably be there, but we did
by at least. Let's not press our luck. We got
those guys were smart. You when he told me he
was graduating from Pharmacus school, I knew he had to
be smart, right, you had to.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
So of like, smart helps a lot, so I but
so that was good.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
But we had been talking and so we had to
stop about this this settlement on this case, and I
understand that it's not the most exciting fun radio in
the world to talk about the settlement of a lawsuit.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
But I read a lot about.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
It yesterday because two of the four, so the all
the small schools, have agreed to the settlement. Now the
ACC and the Big twelve have as well. So the
only two left are the SEC and the Big Ten, which,
by the way, are the two that have to do
it like they're the ones that, ultimately, like the other
twenty nine conferences or thirty, can be cool with it.
(03:43):
But if the SEC and the Big ten are not
cool with it, it any happening. So that's so the big
part is still to come. But I was reading more
about the ramifications, and if anything I have to say,
I may have even undersold it in the sense of
so the way this is going is there going to
be two point I said two billion. Now the number
is two point eight billion dollars. Two point eight billion
(04:08):
dollars for former athletes, so former athletes. Now, I don't
know what sports it is. I don't know if it's
just football and basketball, if it includes baseball, I'm sure
it'll include women's basketball, because I don't know how they
could do it otherwise. But does it include like tennis
and swimming, You know, I don't know, but it is
going to certainly include football, basketball, and I would assume
(04:29):
certainly include women's basketball. Two point eight billion to be distributed.
So think about that logistical nightmare. How in the world
do you pay that out? But somebody's going to have
to figure it out.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Yes, right, But then twenty twenty to twenty two million.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Dollars a year set aside by each school. And what
is that money for. Well, part of that money will
be to pay to the NCAAA to pay back that
two point eight billion dollars in whatever, and then part
of it is for athletes. And basically they're probably going
to set a cap of let's say thirty million dollars,
(05:13):
but teams will have to pay let's say twelve and
schools can decide what they want to.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Pay in between that based on their decisions. Now, a
lot of that's in the weeds. But here's where I
think you're gonna see it the most. I think you're
gonna see sports. A couple of sports are going to
be cut. It's just going to happen. I don't I mean,
I don't think there's gonna be any way around it. Also,
(05:41):
these coaches salaries are going down, like they just are.
There is gonna be no way that these schools will
be able to pay what they are paying for football
and basket coach ball coaches in perpetu it. And even
if they don't go down, they ain't gonna keep rising.
Like you know, how we said this was the year
to be in the portal. This was probably a year
to go get hired as a head coach or to
(06:02):
get your contract extended.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Right.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
But I think the other thing is, all of a sudden,
a skill that is a very important skill in pro
sports but has really not mattered a lot in college
is going to now be hugely important, which is the
GM of the school, which is essentially the athletic director.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
But now budgets. It used to be that these.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Schools kind of whatever they needed to pay, they had
or at least they had access to.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
I just don't think that's going to be true anymore.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
And so now these schools are going to have to
make choices that are going to decide the competitiveness of
their programs or not. As I had one person involved
in athletics for a smaller school. Tell me, I don't
care if you're Ohio State, Texas or whatever. You ain't
gonna be able to be good at everything anymore. So
(07:00):
you're just gonna have to decide what you wanna be
good at, cause you ain't gonna be good at everything anymore.
The days that like Texas and Texas is the main example.
But Ohio State mission pick the school, We're gonna be
good at every sport.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
You just ain't gonna be able to do that anymore.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
So the schools are gonna have to decide what sports
are important to us, and they're probably all gonna choose football,
and they'll probably most of them choose basketball. But after that,
you probably got have to look at one of the
secondary and sports and go all right, well, we're gonna
be tennis, we're.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Gonna be volleyball, and like, cause you're not gonna be
able to be good drew at everything from now on.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
And what they're talking about maybe twenty million a year
for some of these schools. I worry how much we'll
trickle down to fans too when we see ticket increases.
Will they be trying to get more money from fans
to make up that.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Much more money I think you can get. I mean,
we see this here at UK basketball until this year
that those like they were big chunks of empty sections
at UK basketball.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Imagine what it's going with It's like at these other schools.
You can't.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
I mean, Alabama had some football games that weren't full.
It's true, right, Alabama had football games that were not full.
You can't, I mean, you can't keep going forever.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Do you do you see a situation where, like some schools,
I'm just gonna use Eastern this as an example where
you know it costs so much to run a football program,
getting rid of even something in like football.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Yeah, I mean I'm not saying Eastern, but there will
be schools that will do that. In what is this
twenty twenty four end of May, In twenty twenty six
end of May, this will be a completely different college
sports universe.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Now here's the good news.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
It sounds a lot of it sounds like gloom and
do The last few months have felt like the wild
West of college sports, right, like Tyson Chicken's gonna give
four million, Jerry with Jones and ball this stuff, and
like it seems out of can what this settlement will
do is it's going to allow rules to be put
in place. And so while I think these next two
(09:07):
years are going to be bumpy, college sports, from twenty
twenty six on, I think has a chance to be stable,
but it's going to look completely different than it looks now,
and I don't think people.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Really are ready for what's about to have.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Wow, And I think some of the hardest choices are
coming this summer where some of these big schools are
going to have to this summer make decisions as to
what they're going to do with programs.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
So you said, like the SEC and the Big Ten
that they will decide as a conference or is it
up to the eat individual school.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
They decide as a conference. Okay, and then real quick
worth talking about what athletes do. Okay, So let's say
you're a high school athlete. A lot of people listening
will have kids who will be high school or who
have a chance to be a college athlete. A college
athlete will come to a school and they are, as
part of the lawsuit, automatically part of this class. Right
(10:00):
Drew decides to play basketball at Kentucky, if he does nothing,
he is part of this class and he will get
an amount of money. How what that amount of money
is will be set by UK. UK will decide out
of the twenty million dollars that are going to athletes,
how much is going to basketball players and how much
is going to football players. And guess what schools are
(10:21):
gonna show their priorities by what they choose there, right, Yeah,
that's gonna be interesting. There are gonna be some basketball
coaches who think the football team's getting too much, and
there're gonna be some football coaches who think the basketball
team's gonna be much.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
And there's some baseball coaches going we ain't getting anything.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
But when you sign up for a school, you're gonna
you're gonna be part of that class unless an athlete
will have the ability to opt out.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
And negotiate their own thing.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
And my assumption is a lot of great ones will
do that, right, a lot of great ones will do.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
That, which adds a whole nother piece to it.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
But it's college sports has always been a business, but
the business side of it is about to be a
lot more prominent than it used to be. And I
just don't know that people ryan are realizing that. And
we're two conferences away from agreeing to this. The SEC
and the Big Ten are the last two, and the
reports are the SEC is deciding today and the Big
(11:20):
Ten is deciding tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
And you think they'll both agree to it.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
I think they don't have a choice. Yeah, they don't
have a choice.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
There's no other system unless they want to spend the
next decade getting hauled.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
To court and losing.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Because I get a lot of people that write me like,
we put this up yesterday, and a lot of people
write me and go.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Matt, why don't they throw out and burber berber.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Like when the Supreme Court rules nine O, folks, it's over.
There ain't nobody else to go to. When Justice Alito,
who's flying an upside down flag, and when Soda Mayor
who is marching in the Black Lives Matter protests, when
the two of them agree, you're done, Like you're done,
(12:04):
so you just now have to accept the new world.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
What is Mark Emmert doing after he had fifteen years
of sitting on a golden toilet up there in Indianapolis
and just rolling in money? He got to sneak out
of this right as he got messy? Where's he insist?
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Every college basketball fan will owe if this if we
come through this successfully. Everybody will owe Charlie Baker, the
new president, a lot of sport.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Just to give you an example of him.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
When they hired him to be the new president of
the NCAA, I thought, man, that's got to be a
great move.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
He was a.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Republican governor of Massachusetts who had eighty five percent approval
in the most democratic state in America.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
That said to me, that dude must be pretty good
at what he does.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Right for a state that wants to disagree with him
for everyone to agree with him. The NCAA hired him,
and from what I can tell, he seems to be
doing a very good job.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Ryan of navigating this so far.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
That's tough to you should be put him, But yeah,
I guess we put a lot of trust in him.
His leadership.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Well, they don't really have a choice.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
And I actually think Mitch Barnhart, by the way, because
Mitch Barnhart is the longest tenured ad in the SEC,
I think a lot of the you know, let's be real,
the SEC and the Big ten were huge in crafting
this settlement.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
I actually think Mitch.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Barnhart had a lot to do with it, probably so
because because he is the dean kind of.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
The sec A d S. Who's next, Jeff.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Jeff, go ahead, Jeff, hey man, Hey guys, how are
you guys doing doing good?
Speaker 7 (13:35):
Not to change the subject, ony, but since you brought
up your disregard and dislike of dogs, I thought I
would bring up that puppy mill thing and Lexington again, they're.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Voting on that.
Speaker 7 (13:45):
The council is voting on that next month.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Okay, And it's.
Speaker 7 (13:49):
Not it's really not designed to keep people from selling
dogs like from neighbor to neighbor. It's really just to
keep those pet stores from selling these puppy mills.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
But it also will have the effect of saying you
can't sell from neighbor to neighbor, right, I mean that
may not be what it's designed for, but it may
have that effect.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
It could maybe to a small effect. Yeah, I think
it kind of people report that. But if those pet
stores would just kind of partner with the humane societies,
the rescues and sold those dogs, there really wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Be any problem, gotcha? All right? Well, thank you, I
appreciate the goal. That's going to be quite a council meeting.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Maybe we'll send Mario to go to the Dog Council meeting,
because that's going to be quite a thing.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I think I just saw something that the Humane Society
is at full capacity. They need some help. If you're
looking about adopting a dog, go out there. They need
some help right now.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Perfect good stuff. We'll take a break, be right back.
If I've nine eight twenty two eighty seven. Kentucky's losing
two nothing and not done well, so for them early,
we'll take a break right back. You're exactly right, dude.
This is totally the dogs in that commercial.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yep.
Speaker 6 (14:55):
You know I want to donate right now, reaching into
my pocket.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Yeah, yeah, it's like, all right, you don't have a dime.
Are there still places shit? And speaking of diamonds where
I can turn coins into money?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Uh yeah, I think there's like machines that you can dump.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
But they still exist. They still like Kroger because I
am stars. You know.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Now I don't have any coins, but I still have
a huge jar of them that I thought I was
gonna save to one day like take a vacation on.
But now they're just in the way, and so I
think I'm gonna go turn them in. You have to
pay like a crazy rate though, to do it at
the thing, don't.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Yeah, you may end up with a lot of money
that have to be you're spending money to go on
your trip. Some banks will still do that for you
and not charge, but.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
You have to roll it.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Most banks, don't you. They make you bring it. I
think they make you bring it in.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
My bank doesn't.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
You can just take it in like a big sock.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
You have to separate the coins. You don't even have
to do that. So if I just walk in with
my big product quarters, they'll let me all right, yeah, hey,
uh to my bank out there.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Sorry, they told me to do it.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
So when I walk in there in the next couple
of days, it's not my fault.
Speaker 6 (16:06):
Twenty six dollars.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
What is this jar you have? I'm curious now what
it looks like. It's like a big old pickle jar.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
I don't know about you.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Like I don't use cash anymore, Yeah, I mean I
rarely use cash, and so everything's a card.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
So I don't ever have coins, but I used to
have a big like so you're gonna make fun of
me about this.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Like I don't you know, I don't I don't cook, shocking,
so I have like a big pot that you would
use for cooking, but it's just filled with coin that
utensil I mean no, I mean there's coins that have
been there for probably probably fifteen years. So I'm not
gonna ever use that pot because I feel like stuff
(16:49):
might have I don't know, there's probably probably not good,
but I.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Have a like like that you could put like a turkey.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
In full of coin full of coins to haul that
to the bank.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
It's probably heavy.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Guarantee it's heavy. They're gonna call the police immediately when
they see somebody opening.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
A pot full of coins.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Do you think they'll think it's weird if I walk
in with a.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Pot full of coins?
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Least?
Speaker 3 (17:13):
So what would you put them in?
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Anything? A baggie or any Yeah, listen, you've got to
take you gotta take Mario there. He's got to go
with you.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
And will you go with me to the bank with
my pot full of coins? Okay?
Speaker 6 (17:25):
Because after you drop the coins and they're separating them,
then you're just the guy standing at the bank with
an empty pot. And I think that's that's I'll.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Give them a pot. They can have a pot in
the pot too, thank you for their troubles. They could
have the pot bank. Yeah, all right, if I'm nine
seven Scheffler. He uh.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
The video went everywhere yesterday, so the whole nation was
commenting on our our price, our district county attorney excuse
me in Louisville. And then Romans you get on TikTok.
I don't know how many of you are on the TikTok,
but you get on TikTok. Romans is everywhere, and like
people in the comments section stand in him like yeah,
(18:04):
They're all like, I want.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Him to be my lawyer. Can he cut?
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Like for Romans, this is the best thing that's ever
happened for him, isn't it.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I mean he was in the middle of Breonna Taylor,
but this may be give him more exposures.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Certainly getting more TikTok exposure.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yes, yes, yeah, it's It is kind of fascinating when
you watch that video to hear their argument back and forth,
you know, in a formal setting like that.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Well, the argument the district tournament was was terrible. Almost
said it. It was terrible because he acknowledged the argument
he was making is not the legal standard. Romans pointed
it out, he said, I agree with him, and then
just kept arguing it, and the judgement and the judges
(18:45):
the judge genuinely seemed perplexed, like why are you arguing this?
Speaker 3 (18:48):
That's not the standard.
Speaker 6 (18:50):
You know, judge said it with romans pretty quickly. But
he's he's viral for that Southern draw.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
A lot of people that haven't heard of voice like
that's a Metcalfe County, metcalf County coming out out and going, well,
Judge especially.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
I mean, this is Scotty Scheffler, this is this is
a huge thing.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
And then you hear that. So what happened? So June
third is the new date. June third is the new date.
I'm gonna be gone. They're not gonna make him come
walk into that court, are they.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
I it'd be a circus of course. Does that what
the district attorney wants? Well, nobody knows. I mean that's
I think, why would you Why would you fight changing
the arraiment date unless you want the video of him
walking in?
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Right, So I think they got two weeks or while
I'm gone on June third, we're gonna have anhim Like.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
They can't do that. I mean that we do not,
this city, the city and state do not need that.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Videos coming out. Yeah, yes, peen me and the videos
coming out tomorrow. So I don't know what it's gonna show,
but there's a video now tomorrow that will come out.
Who knows, maybe that changes everything, Maybe it ends up
looking different after that. But I just I just feel
like we didn't need this story was already ridiculous, and
now yesterday or Monday.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Did not help because after that incident, I think everybody
was just rating of Valhalla and the golf tournament, and
the ratings are high. Everything was a huge success. But
this is going to continue to be the black cloud
that covers everything.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
And you can't Can you imagine if the sports centers
live outside the Jefferson County Courthouse as they're walking him.
I mean, yeah, I hope they.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
I hope they've got to be in Ohio at the
memorial just after that. It's not too long a drive.
He could pull off both. Yeah, who's up next, Steve, Steve,
go ahead, Steve.
Speaker 5 (20:43):

entry for the song commercial thing. Okay, it's obviously more
current than the others, and I'd like to give you
guys a clue because I think the clue either Shannon
or Drew.

Speaker 6 (22:41):
You know we're on the show with you. I've never
realized this, but this is now three people in an
hour that are saying it. So I'm wondering how many
how many others out there have this been?
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Had absolutely no idea? One person rites Matt. Have you
given up on.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
The Reds yet? The one last night? So there's one. Uh.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
They got the Dodgers this weekend, so that's gonna be fun.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
That's gonna be difficult.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Quick thing I'm gonna probably give away my tickets tonight
via social media, so just be watching for that. At
some point, I say this with love and respect to
all of you. Stop asking me for my tickets while

you all, but.
Speaker 6 (23:24):

Speaker 2 (23:27):
Don't ask me to ask Maddie.
Speaker 3 (23:29):

Speaker 2 (23:29):
I'm not a stupid question.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Unless I unless you TJ Smith personal injury attorney.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Call TJ.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
He'll make them pay.
Speaker 9 (23:37):
Now more.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Kentucky Sports Radio present it by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
Here's Matt Jones work.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
A back Tucky Sports Radio. If you're missing the SEC
tournament listening to us, thank you. Uh. Kentucky is down
two nothing to LSU after three Kentucky still doesn't have
a hit yet, which is.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Uh, I have a base runner. I think they're old
for nine.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Yeah, they had a guy just get out, which I've
never seen for Did you see that He got hit
by the pitch, but they said he leaned into it
and so he called him out.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
I didn't know that the punishment for that was to
be out.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
I didn't realize it either.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
I wasn't watching. I do I mean two oh. I
think if you've been paying attention, we'll take two oh
all day. Yeah, I believe they've left five on base.
This could be much uglier than it is right now.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
So if they if they win, we play tomorrow at
four thirty, and Ryan and I have talked about we
may organize a mini quick watch party if they win
tomorrow for the four to thirty game. If they lose,
it's during the show again tomorrow, so we'll have the
same issue with being on WSFC, and we'll have it
on during the show while we're here.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
At the bar.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
So either way, if they play tomorrow, you can watch
the game here, but we might do like a little
bit of watch party slash send Matt down the road
here tomorrow if we win today, which right now we are.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
We're not doing one person rights. Matt.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Don't fall for these people who tell you to not
have cash. The an all electronic money.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Society is the sign of the end of times. That
seems a little created. It's a little that's a lot,
isn't it like to.
Speaker 6 (25:11):
Hear more about their thoughts.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
People always say it's the end of times.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
By the way, you know, people are always saying like
they always say it's the end of times. And the
thing is, people have been saying that since humans were created.
If you read history, there's been in every generation someone
has said the world is about to end, and at
some point someone's gonna be right.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
But we skip over all the people that were wrong.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
Right.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Like seriously, when I was a kid, remember we got
out of school one day because the world was gonna end.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
A lot of people don't realize that we did. One time.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
We got out of school because they said the world
was gonna end because of an earthquake yep, And did
it happen Nope, No, and then it never happens, and
then nobody gets punished for being wrong, right, And so
every day everybody's like, well, you know, that's the sign
of the end of times.
Speaker 6 (26:01):
Look, trunk money, it's finally gonna be the one that
does it.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Credit Card's gonna take us down.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
There a people thought cars were gonna do that. The Internet,
the you know, fire, the wheel birds. It just feels
like it feels like that's something I just I don't
buy any of.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
That, do you.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
We went from nineteen ninety nine to the year two thousand,
the whole wood was supposed to shut down because you know,
all the computers couldn't handle the zero zero part of it.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
That got that Okay, yeah, I got through that as well. Folks,
the uh, I wanted to tell you, we still have
a handful of the railbird parking tickets, so if you
want one, you need to get it soon. Well, I'll
put that parking pass up again today, but we uh,
we're gonna we're gonna have this lot full, so you
need to do it relatively soon.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Who's next, Mike, Mike, go ahead, Mike.
Speaker 10 (26:52):
Hey, how you guys doing doing good? Hey, I gotta
a little off topic. But my wife works with the
High Hospital. Okay, and see that there is a prostate
drug that has amazing side effects that makes your hair,
your hair grow back.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
I mean, are you being Is this like a joke,
like are you gonna have a punchline?
Speaker 10 (27:16):
The reason, the reason I was caught in the guy
yesterday was a pharmacist. And I'm wondering if if you
don't have prostate issues, let it hurts you to take
a prostate drug, if you to make your hair grow back.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
Well, first of all, I don't think that we're the
people to ask that question.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Too.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
I would ask a medical professional, but you're saying there's a.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Well, all right, I appreciate the call. Do you believe that?
Speaker 5 (27:41):
Maybe?
Speaker 2 (27:41):
I mean, who knows?
Speaker 3 (27:43):
How have they not made a drug for people's hair
to grow back?
Speaker 2 (27:46):
That's the crazy thing.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
We have drugs to do everything. How have they not
fixed that?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
I don't have an answer for you.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Are you gonna be able to host this for two months?
Speaker 2 (27:55):
I'm ready.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
I've gone to you twice in the last thirty seconds,
and you've said three words.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Well, that's I have no answer about the disaster of
the world over a credit card. That's ridiculous. This about
a drug that for weake your hair go back.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
I'm with you.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
I don't understand how we do not have that and
everything else, feeling that it.
Speaker 6 (28:12):
Would be money for that if that was to you're
the ones that's done the procedure. When you're going through
all this, was there any point? Are you ever gonna
do more of that?
Speaker 3 (28:19):
No?
Speaker 2 (28:20):
No, I think I'm happy with my Baalt spot back here.
I like my little hair up in the front. But
you wouldn't want to fill in the ballt spy. I
don't care. I can't see it.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
I respect that every time I get my haircut. That's
how I want the back. I'm like, I don't know,
I can't see it.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
I can't see it.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Yeah, but but you're glad you got on the front.
Speaker 8 (28:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
I like that right there, or I would be completely
bald right now.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
It does make you look younger, don't you.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
I mean, the the pictures of you before you got
there got it, you look older than you look now.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
And that was like literally like six years ago.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Longer than that one.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (28:56):
Yeah, but you don't you think you be rocking a
solid horseshoe right now?
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Oh, you looked.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
You look a lot younger as it is. I actually
think it worked well for you.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Well, thank you, sir.
Speaker 6 (29:05):
So do you wish it had been a pill instead
of the I mean, you went well because it didn't hurt.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
It hurt, it hurt.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
It's uncomfortable for three days.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
I still have the picture of your scabbed up heads
awful remote.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
You were a trooper.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
He came to a remote the day after his hair surgery,
and where they put it in. Each hair was a
scab and it was you look it was really odd looking.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
You were also in a lot of pain. You had
to wear like a chef's hat. Yes, and you said,
don't take it off. It would do it on the
show live on the show. So I hadn't seen it either.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
I have a somewhere in this phone there's a picture
of your scabby head, and it was it was awful,
it was it didn't look good.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
I'll grant that. Who's next, n Kevin? Go ahead? Kevin?
Speaker 5 (29:49):
Yes? Uh?
Speaker 4 (29:51):
How like the way the team that's coming in, what
would be your starting five?
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Okay? Are we saying with or without Jackson Robinson?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
The makeup right now?
Speaker 5 (30:03):
Without him?
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Without him? All right?
Speaker 4 (30:05):
Without him, They're gonna start Lamont Butler at point guard point,
They're gonna start uh Amari Williams at center.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
They're gonna start Andrew Carr at power forward, and.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Then Bray you will he be the shooting guard who
bray you? The dude from Dayton I mean Brea Brea maybe,
but it also could be that kid from Oklahoma.
Speaker 6 (30:27):
Yeah, he might have to be a wing in the
scenario if you don't get rob he might have to do.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Might have to play him both. You probably would play.
Speaker 6 (30:34):
Bray three for Robinson, But the scenario otherwise.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
I think you would start.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
If let's say Robinson comes, then I think your starting
lineup is Butler, Brea, Robinson, Carr Williams with always your
sixth and set maybe Chandler R seventh And then you
see what who develops amongst everybody else?
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Is that?
Speaker 6 (30:53):
How you don't forget our boy Kirk Risa in the
back court. But I don't think he'd start, but he'd
be one of the first off the bench.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
Now he'll definitely be like an annoy off the beach,
coming in and doing stuff that's.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Perfect for him. But we know of him, you know
the guy that comes in and immediately a little little juice.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
With Let's say you don't get Jackson Robinson, because I
do think it is important to think about the worst
possible option. Let's say you don't get him. I assume
they'll find someone. But let's say the team as it's
constituted now is the best form of the team will have.
How good are they?
Speaker 2 (31:26):
I mean, I think they're good, good enough to get
to the weekend of the SEC tournament and maybe the
second weekend in the NCAA tournament. I think they're good
enough to.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
Do that well, So they're sweet sixteen good probably you
think they're that good.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
I agree.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
I won't be thinking thoughts about, you know, planning trips,
so we're gonna be at this stop in the NCAA
turnam won't be getting ahead of myself with each round.
But I think they would be in the postseason and
would be uh you know, I think Alabama's gonna be
really strong in the SEC, but not far behind them
in a third four fifth, So you would put them
third fourth in the SEC. Yeah, they wouldn't win it,
but they would be in the top half in the
(31:59):
we haven't won it. Sometimes I'm not saying it's gonna
be worse off. Also, I think if they don't get
Jackson Robinson, a lot has been made about Pope's binder
that he's been seeing with at the Peach Jam, that
dude's got a backup plan that we just don't know.
He has to. He's way too prepared and on top
of this to be all in on one guy at
this point, and whether it be a reclass international and
(32:20):
other guy's not being said. I don't believe Pope will
strike out on Robinson and uh Lan Aar and not
have something else.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
I think it's gonna be interesting to see what happens.
The cal Era allowed fans to do this. It allowed
everyone during the offseason dream of success. So if you
think about it, in the cal Era, we were always
a national championship contender in May, June, July, August, September, October,
(32:49):
so he had six months in our head of being
a national championship contender.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Then sometimes it remained and sometimes.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
It didn't, but you had six months that we walked
around going, we can win the national championship. What's gonna
be interesting this year is the final result could be better,
likely will be better than it was last year. Yeah,
but we will not have those six months before of
thinking we're a national championship contender and we shouldn't let
(33:17):
that change our psyche about the season.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Does that make sense.
Speaker 6 (33:21):
I think that can be a good thing too.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
It can be a good thing, but it will One
of the things that is exciting about being a Kentucky
fan during the cal Era is this idea of the
always the possibility. Right, the possibility was always exciting, exciting,
exciting and exciting, and then when it doesn't happen, it
was major disappointment. But then you would just go, well,
but next year, right, this is gonna be like more
(33:45):
realistic based, and I just think it's gonna take our
fan base a little while to adjust to that rhyme,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Yeah, And I, like Drew said, I think that could
be a good thing for our fan base to kind
of have a reset and get our expectations kind of
and check a little bit that. You know, this year
may not be a national championship year, but let's give
him time to get to that point.
Speaker 5 (34:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
Seven, these people right here live in Austria. Yeah, I
heard him say that in Austria.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
In Vienna. I've been to.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
I've been a week in Vienna. You did, Yeah, my
brother lived there. He was there working there from the military.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
What do you remember of your Vienna? Because I may go,
I've never been to Vienna. I may go, what what
do you remember?
Speaker 2 (34:22):
And we ate a lot of Viner's Fitzel, Yeah, a
lot of beer.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
But did you think like it was a beautiful city?
Speaker 2 (34:29):
It was awesome. We went to all the tourist stuff
around Vienna.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Give me.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
We went some underground submarine place where they used to
make submarines underground.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
They looked very surprised. Yeah, I don't Shannon, I don't
think that that's true. Yeah, believe they made the submarines underground.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Yeah, and they shot some movie down there that they
were making, like during.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
The World Universal Studios in Hollywood.
Speaker 6 (34:56):
The Epcot Center at Austria stop is not.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Actually you go down and get in a boat like
you are.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
I had to walk in down.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
Okay, I can believe that there's a submarine museum, But
are you telling me they make the submarines underground?
Speaker 2 (35:09):
They did during the war to kind of hide their work.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Oh okay, okay, all right, I can buy that. I
can buy that.
Speaker 4 (35:17):
So this was but Austria, they were they were on
Germany side, weren't they.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
Yeah, so you were like visiting the other side.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Yeah, it was a tourist it's a tourist attraction.
Speaker 5 (35:28):
Now.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
We went to some outdoor uh plaza where they had
pizza outside and to this day it's the best pizza
I've ever had in my life.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
I remember that in Austria.
Speaker 6 (35:41):
In Austria does look like one class submarine was started
in Austria.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Austria.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
But you know, I mean that's like saying the best
sushi you had was in like Spain, Like that's not
like you know what I mean. I mean, pizza is
an Italian thing, not in Austria.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
They put some magic in that though, and it was awesome.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
Okay, I got a best fish and chips in my life.
They were actually in Guatemala. We'll take a breaking me
right back. It's Kentucky's Sports Radio working back. It is
Kentucky Sports Radio final segment. Here Wings day ks bar again,
all day, all night dollar Wings. Remember we've started a
(36:22):
new thing from two to five. We have like many
appetizer things that are like awesome. You can get like
two of them and it's a meal and they're five
bucks each. It's like a new deal they're starting, which
is actually a really good mid afternoon snatch.
Speaker 6 (36:37):
Yes, it's when you're watching your figure on the cheese
long My parents would call it dinner at three point
thirty in the afternoon.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
That but that they do that very helpful. It's awesome.
People get them yesterday.
Speaker 4 (36:47):
Yes, the Kentucky is now first and third, two outs
down to nothing, so maybe they could get something happen
another air. I've never seen a college baseball it has
so many errors. Yeah, you know, I mean, I haven't
watched a ton of it over the years, and watching
a lot of Kentucky they make like they make teams
make so many errors against.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Them, makes you appreciate you go watch the Reds that
make that make it look easy. You know, that's why
they're big Major leaguers.
Speaker 4 (37:14):
Like if they make an air, it's crazy, but in
college it happens all the time. One person writes, matt
if Uk is one of the premier baseball excuse me,
premier basketball programs in America. Why are we tempering our expectations?
We should hold every coach to the same standard winning
national championships. I love Pope, but it's just the way
it should be. Well, okay, but what every rule or
(37:44):
every standard has to have a punishment. So let's say
we don't have a chance to win the national championship
this year. What are you gonna do when you say,
when you say hold them to a standard, what are
you gonna do? Like, you gotta get the guy had
four weeks to build his rosters. Give him a break.
If in year two or year three, we're not pushing
(38:04):
for that different situation. But in year one, how many
teams have legitimately had a chance to win a national
championship in a year. One coach that wasn't just inheriting
a lineup. This doesn't happen, John CALIPERI gave us a shot,
(38:24):
but who else has any special And he had walling
DeMarcus Cousins. And I think this is important. He had
already been recruiting those guys for another school. Yes, we
hired a coach who wasn't recruiting the kind of players
we recruit here. He was recruiting to BYU. So he
had not gone after the top guys like Cal had
(38:46):
before he came here from Memphis.
Speaker 6 (38:47):
Well, Cousins had both said they were going wherever Cal was.
That wasn't a Kentucky thing. I mean it worked out
and they love Kentucky now, but in their recruitment, they
were just following Cal to wherever he was going.
Speaker 4 (38:56):
The only thing Kentucky got Cal with those dudes is
can Kentucky got Cal Eric Bledsoe? But he had recruited
Eric Bledsoe at Memphis as well, Right, I think Bledsoe
had visited even when Billy was here. He even had
been on Kentucky's campus before. Yeah, and and I you
know I said this over the last thirteen years of Cal.
(39:17):
The day Cal left. That next year was always going
to be hard because Cal recruits. I'm not criticizing this.
He does it and it worked for him. But he
recruits Cal. Right, he doesn't recruit Kentucky. He recruits Cal.
He said that at Arkansas. Yeah, he said, recruits. Say,
(39:38):
we're just changing the adres.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Huh.
Speaker 4 (39:41):
That worked when he was here. But that means when
you leave, you got to restart Ryan, which is what
we're having to do.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
I think it'll be fair to hold Mark Pope to
those standards in a year or two. Right now, he
took the job with one guy on the roster and
most of the top twenty kids already committed someplace. E.
Speaker 4 (39:58):
I'll go farther to say I think it is fully
reasonable to expecting year two to him have a top
ten to fifteen roster. That is reasonable in the transfer
portal era, with a year of recruiting with our nil base,
we should expect him to have a top ten to
fifteen roster next year.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
Yeah, but this year.
Speaker 4 (40:22):
You kind of have to do the best you can,
and I actually think they've done a pretty good job,
even though I think they need one more guy.
Speaker 6 (40:28):
And they only have to win one game in March
to be better than last year one in Nashville or
the other tournament one.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
Well, when you watch.
Speaker 4 (40:38):
Shepherd and Dillingham in the NBA, is that always gonna
be on your mind?
Speaker 3 (40:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (40:43):
I already think about it. Yeah, I still listen to
read and Rob I'm probably gonna get that to not
his pizza again before the draft. I I'm just with
those two. I'm still not over last season. Those are
two of my favorite. When I see PJ.
Speaker 4 (40:56):
Washington with Dallas, I don't sit there and think we
lost Kansas State, but I kind of feel like with
Reid and Rob, I'm gonna think that. I just I
just kind of feel like I think that my death bed.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
Could we know how good that team was and how
even better they could have been if you played the
right lineup the way you're supposed to. I'll never forget
Nate Oats saying after that Alabama game, hey, cow, we
just found your lineup. Like even he knew at that
moment that's the lineups gonna win you a lot of games.
Speaker 4 (41:23):
I know we've said this a thousand times, but I
want you to think. Sam Vicini just put that stat
out the other day when Reid, rob and Reeves were
in the game together, every one hundred possessions we outscored
the other team by thirty points. Every other lineup we
put on the court in one hundred possessions, we only
(41:45):
outscored them by six.
Speaker 3 (41:48):
That's crazy, six to thirty. And in the Oakland game,
they played two possessions together in the first half and
only played multiple minutes together in the last few minutes
of the game as we were desperately trying to say.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
You're losing. Unbelievable.
Speaker 6 (42:09):
That's and that's why, and that's why, and that's what
we are.
Speaker 4 (42:13):
We are and that's exactly why we are where we
are where we are right now. Thank you everybody for
coming out.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
Good to see you. Nice.
Speaker 4 (42:19):
Let's at lunch. We will be here again. Tomorrow be
the last day we're in Lexington. It's Don Franklin Nissan
in Somerset. They switched it from Kia to the Nissan.
So keep that in mind again if we If Kentucky
Baseball wins, they will play tomorrow at four point thirty.
If they lose, they will play tomorrow during this show
(42:39):
again as well, and be watching on social media because
I'm going to give my Reds tickets away tonight.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
Very cool.
Speaker 4 (42:45):
So thank you all very much. We'll see you later.
I'm gonna go to the bank with a big jar
coins or a big pot, it's up.
Speaker 3 (42:53):
See you later.
