Guys, another nice day outside.

I'm gonna give you a little fact I don't think you know about weather.

Did you know that until yesterday there were only four major cities in America where it had never in history been one hundred degrees?

Speaker 3

Okay, okay, four.

Speaker 2

Major cities in America, and here's a little hint, not in the same place, all over America really had never been one hundred degrees.

Would you like to take a gas and one of them yesterday hit one hundred degrees for the first time.

Speaker 4

Okay, okay, So.

Speaker 2

Now we're down to three.

Do you know the answer to this question?

Chann and you're shaking like you do.

Okay, then don't say it.

So you two gas.

Do you know either the city that that got to one hundred yesterday or the city or any of the cities that have never been a hundred.

Speaker 5

I don't know who hit one hundred yesterday, but I guess I would think of of some northern cities.

Minneapolis, That's what I was gonna say.

Speaker 2

Minneapolis has been one hundred.

Seattle, Seattle is my next guest, also been one hundred.

Speaker 5

Portland.

Speaker 4

No, do you know Alaska?

Speaker 3

Give me another city in the States, Anchorage.

Speaker 2

One of the cities that has never been one hundred degrees and still hasn't been one hundred degrees in history.

Nope, we're not the whole show, Nornes.

Anybody else have any Well, that's what I said.

They're all over the plan.

Speaker 3

Uh huh.

Speaker 2

Okay, also never been one hundred lulu degrees.

Speaker 5

I would never have thought that.

Speaker 2

And then Buffalo, New York that one but yesterday, and this surprised me.

For the first time in its history, Tampa hit one hundred.

No way, Tampa had never been one hundred degrees before, which I guess that's Shannon.

What do you think because of the wind or the because it's like soal so you would think it would Tampa had never been a hundred.

Speaker 6

Degrees caused me to hear that.

I would have thought that every city in Florida would have hit you would have thought it.

Speaker 2

But Tampa had never been one hundred degrees until yesterday, for the very first time in its history one hundred degrees.

Speaker 5

I guarantee you ninety nine of the people thought that was a lie.

Do you think Tampa, Florida on the coast, it's definitely gotta.

Speaker 3

Get I don't know.

Speaker 2

I mean, I'm sure there's something about like stratosphere and the wind, parometric pressure, and you know, like a channel or something, Yeah, like the English channel channel there.

There's all kinds of that.

I'm sure there's some scientific reason, but they had never been a hundregree.

So now we're down to Anchorage, Honolulu and Buffalo, and they said it'll probably never happen in Anchorage or Honolulu unless like the Earth is like boiling.

Yeah, so Buffalo, Buffalo is the last remaining standing hasn't been to one hundred degrees.

So, Shannon, I don't know why I found that so interesting, but I did.

Speaker 6

Yeah, I mean that's kind of cool.

You would have thought that.

I would have thought that pretty much every place had hit one hundred at some point in history, but apparently not.

We got Apparently you loved.

Speaker 4

Is that why you wore a Buffalo sweatshirt today?

Speaker 3

You know what?

I had thought of that.

But Buffalo is the right in the front.

Speaker 2

But HiT's exactly of the contiguous United States.

Buffalo is the one holdout.

We will not be one hundred degrees in Buffalo.

You know, they have a lake.

Maybe that's part of why I won't.

Speaker 4

Yeah, that should have been answer number one, especially since it's on the shirt I'm looking at.

Speaker 6

Buffalo does not believe in global warming.

It's not happening there.

Speaker 3

Yeah, it's just well they held it off.

Speaker 2

They like, you know what, we're not gonna We're not gonna have it here everybody, that's what we're gonna do.

Speaker 3

So I just thought that was an interesting things, very interesting.

I don't know.

Speaker 2

I don't understand why Tampa was though, if somebody knows, I would be interested how Tampa somehow survived it, whereas like Miami, even Jacksonville, who's more north, has been than Tampa Orlando.

But for whatever reason, Tampa hadn't been okay.

So I like through when people say I like when people have confidence, when people have confidence, got to have confidence.

I like when people come out and they go, you know, this is how it's gonna be.

I got things to say, I'm gonna I'm gonna win.

Just stay in bed if you don't have confidence.

Yeah, that's exactly right.

I like when people have confidence.

Now, you know, confidence can turn into arrogance if you go too far.

Speaker 3

But confidence is good.

Speaker 2

But then they are the people who sometimes say stuff where you go, WHOA like, you know you sure about that.

Speaker 3

Johnny, it's pretty old, pretty bold.

That's a little bold.

Speaker 2

We had one of those yesterday at the UH Louisville at the Louisville UK, the UK football kickoff lunch.

For many years, Shannon, I was the speaker.

I was the MC at this and then they just kicked me out one time.

Speaker 4

I can't remember why it was.

Speaker 3

I did it for like five straight years.

Speaker 6

It must have been something you said, probably.

Speaker 3

But that was when I was still getting along with like cal And.

Speaker 5

Then you make some sort of joke or something.

Speaker 3

Oh, I made a squirting joke.

Speaker 6

Well that's what Ryan's Ryan's not at a reparena anymore.

Speaker 2

Yeah, but I didn't say that word though, I think I said.

I think I said something like I don't remember, but you're right.

Speaker 3

It was something to.

Speaker 5

Do with the whole joke of some sort with with with that whole thing.

Speaker 3

It's a good memory, Shannon.

I think you're right.

Speaker 2

So so I don't do anymore.

Tom Leach now does it?

And they interview the do.

Speaker 6

That Tom Leach.

Tom's safe, you know, he's I.

Speaker 2

Mean, Tom Tom is great, but is like you know, ordering white bread at the store.

You don't have to worry about any There's gonna be no problems when you have Tom Leech.

Right, So they interviewed the coaches and bush Hamden was there yesterday, the offensive coordinator.

Speaker 5

Yeah.

Speaker 3

Now he's been the offensive coordinator for a year.

Speaker 2

But I can't think of one thing he's ever said, can you No, We've had him on here two or three times.

I'm not one hundred percent sure what he looks like.

Well, last year, his first season, he got here late.

We didn't really have an off season with him.

This season starts.

I mean, I give me your favorite bush Hamden fact.

Speaker 4

Oh, we averaged twenty points per game last year.

Speaker 3

Is that a fact?

Speaker 4

Though?

Yeah, it's not a good one, but that's that's my fact.

Speaker 2

But can you like think of one thing he's ever said?

Not that, he said, Shannon, can you think of I say, give me your best Bush Hamden story?

Speaker 3

What do you say?

Speaker 6

We got nothing until yesterday?

Speaker 3

No, he's from Kuwait.

He is from Kuwait.

Speaker 4

Yeah, military background.

Speaker 3

Okay, I say that there's a fact.

Speaker 2

Well, now I have something and this is one of those be careful what you wish for.

Yeah, Like, if you're gonna say something like this, you better meet it.

Bush Hampden, during the conversation said with Tom Leach, said this quote.

This offensive line this year is going to remind us of some of the great offensive lines Kentucky has ever had.

Speaker 3

Wow.

Speaker 2

Yeah, remember we had arguably the worst offensive line in the history of organized football last year and he and it was bad.

And he has now jumped that from hey, we're going to be better, we've gotten better up front to one of the best we've ever had.

Good move, bad move?

Does it make you confident?

Does it make you work?

Speaker 4

Like?

What did you think of that?

I knew where you were going when you start talking about having confidence.

I mean because his comment of everything that happened yesterday Stoop spoke for like forty five minute.

It's the only quote I cared about.

It's my main takeaway.

I love it because I want to hear it.

But I'll admit, as soon as he said it, I was like, you weren't even here, were you like in the NFL, and like, yeah, like that's a big They were not just good, they were the best line of the country for a run of three of the five guys get draft, And it just made me think if Stoops had said it, or Brad White had said it, wouldmit him a lot more.

I just thought, oh, no, I hope you're not, you know, putting them up so high it's something they can't reach before they play a game.

But it was It did give me a little excitement, I'll admit, even though I thought it was crazy for him to say.

Speaker 5

It smart, I yes, I think why not?

You know, he liked who he has up front.

This is something i'd heard, you know what we talked about a couple of months ago, that the way they kind of fit the pieces together.

The peat guy's supposed to be a superstar in the making, he'll probably get drafted.

Who's that the dude from New Mexico State.

The last name's Pete.

Speaker 3

It's gonna be on the show.

Yeah, he's a Native American.

Speaker 5

Guy's a monster, he's a great and he's huge.

Jagger's moving to center so that frees up some guys and play the garden normal position.

So I want to hear that from my coache This is talking season.

Why not talk up all right?

Shating a good idea.

Speaker 6

I'm all about confidence, but when people think that you're only going to win three games, I think you lay low, You fly under the radar as much as possible, and let your offensive line speak for itself once the game starts.

I'm not gonna go they're terrible, but I'm gonna say maybe maybe they're gonna surprise you a little bit.

I don't think I'm gonna go out and say this is one of the best offensive lines this team has ever seen.

That's pretty bold.

Speaker 3

Yeah, I mean, I think this is one of those lines that when you say it, you better back it up.

Speaker 2

Yeah, I mean, this is one of those lines that will stick with you if things don't work that you know you this is going to be something that when we give up six sacks in a game, people will retweet this quote and they'll tag like old takes exposed.

Speaker 3

So you better be right.

You know.

Speaker 2

There are certain times that I think coaches can say that stick and I think part of it is because it's Bush Hamden and we don't know anything about him.

This will be the thing that I think people will know about him.

They will remember throughout the year.

We have one of the best offensive lines we've ever had here.

And now if we do then he's a swashbuckling.

Speaker 3

Pirate, right.

Speaker 2

But if we don't, then that line becomes like pony up, Yeah, a line that gets brought up as an example of how things So.

I mean, I I don't mind him doing it, but Ryan, he better.

Speaker 5

Be right, gotta be right, gotta back it up now, you know.

I guess you know they're thinking on the left side of the line.

Those guys are all NFL guys, right right.

Speaker 2

Who is our offensive live Jagger's the center?

What's our guy?

That's the guy you said that's so good?

What's his name?

Speaker 5

His last name's Pete.

Speaker 4

She has Pete.

I like him.

He did an interview with Nick Roush.

I could just listen to him talk forever, gonna be on here Fronday.

And he said he likes Mark Stoops because he's a statesman.

That's what he said, the states That's exactly how he described Mark.

I'm not even sure I know what that means.

Speaker 3

But I like Pete.

I don't.

Speaker 2

I mean, even you give the most positive view of Mark Stoops.

Would anyone call him statesman?

That's why Pete's awesome.

Speaker 3

Like who when I say the word statesman, who do you think of?

Speaker 6

Like Henry Clay, Yeah, Bob Dole, distinguished, somebody?

Speaker 3

Mark Stus is a statesman?

Speaker 4

No, but I like hearing it.

Speaker 2

Wow, So we should he should be like ambassador to North should have states so statesman.

All right, So then you got him, you got your Jagger?

Who else?

Speaker 4

Josh Braun was the highest rated player on the video game Keep It using the video game from my previews, he'll be a guard.

He came from Arkansas.

Speaker 5

He's left guards.

Those two guys on the list side.

Speaker 2

We've got Pete, uh, Josh Braun, Jagger than who are the other two?

Speaker 4

Jalen Farmer's back.

He was on the team last year started Obviously the line didn't go well, but of all the those pieces last season.

I think they're pretty excited at him.

Speaker 3

Who's the last one?

Speaker 5

Maybe that kid from Madison Central right, the right tackle you got?

Speaker 4

Uh uh, there's what's a Wolfschlager.

He's around Wolfschlager.

Yeah, Wibberley, We've got some long w words on there.

Speaker 2

Uh.

Speaker 4

Wibberley I think is the backup center Braun though Braun and Pete are two names to really know.

We know Jagger and I don't know if you've seen Jagger lately.

Ryan the monster much bigger than he was.

Yeh Ago, I don't know what he did.

Speaker 2

So Shann does that sound like one of the great offensive lines that has ever played at this.

Speaker 6

School, just based off those names.

Speaker 2

No, you've got you've got Pete, You've got Goldschlager, You've got Bun.

Speaker 4

Farmer Selm, No, Selm, he's a backup.

Speaker 6

I'm not.

I'm not sold.

Speaker 2

Well, I I like it.

You know, we're getting we're getting to Friday's media day.

I'm gonna try to be like, hit him in the knee, why not them in the other knee?

But but you say things like this, it gets me excited.

But I'm also thinking, man Bush, I hope you're right, or we're gonna have to head for the mountains of Bush and just be you know, criticized.

Speaker 4

Do you think Wolford was like, hey, man, what are you doing?

Speaker 6

Keep it?

Speaker 2

Well?

They brought another guy in too.

They've got the dude.

We yeah, the backup, the backup.

So maybe there's a lot of things we all.

Speaker 4

Found the uh mortgage and the Hampton said it because all seasoned stoops.

It seems that they've been intentional in not setting any expectation.

They haven't named a player, they haven't said anything about we're gonna be good at this.

They have been very vanilla, and he took it to the extreme yesterday.

Speaker 3

All right, well there you go, do your thing.

Speaker 2

Uh.

Speaker 5

Maybe that's why they gave Wolford the big rays.

They know their offensive line is much improved.

Speaker 3

We'll see.

I mean, he has an assistant.

Speaker 2

It couldn't have been even assisted.

It could not have been worse.

Twenty two eighty seven, we are here.

We've uh Tampa is celebrating one hundred degrees and we are celebrating the best offensive line that we've ever had.

That's next here, O KSR, welcome back.

Takey Sports Radio, right here's the explanation.

Tampa hit one hundred degrees because of a highly anomalous five hundred MB what's MB stand for megabytes?

You think so on my computer?

Yeah, I think that's right, but I'm gonna say it.

Five hundred megabytes ridge and an uncommon wind pattern.

The wind blew from a different direction than it normally does.

It did not allow the cool breeze in, and one hundred degrees hit for the first time since recorded temperature.

Speaker 5

It's crazy where it sits.

You'd think then Saint Petersburg, Tampa, maybe a lot of cities on the west west coast of Florida would be the same way.

Why is it Tampa need to be kind of original?

Speaker 3

No, you ask people, I'm just reading you the facts here.

Speaker 4

You're the ebor city expert.

Speaker 3

Yes.

Speaker 2

At ky Sports Radio, one person writes, Matt, I've been one of stoops as harsh as critics, but I'm in.

I think it's the offensive line, but it's also just me hoping.

Speaker 3

I'm two.

Now.

We'll see if we're in in week two.

Speaker 2

The question is when I get on that plane to go to South Africa, are people still going to be in?

Yeah, because that will be after the Toledo and the Old Miss game, but before the Eastern Illinois game.

So will people still be in when I get on the plane to Johannesburg.

Speaker 6

Yes, depends on how well they play Old Miss.

If they don't beat them, are they competitive or do they get blown out?

That's going to be the difference, I think you think.

Speaker 2

So, yeah, well, first of all, you're assuming we have to beat Toledo.

Speaker 6

Well again, well, if you don't beat Toledo, of course people are gonna be upset.

Speaker 2

Okay, so what is this?

What is the spread on the Old Miss that keeps people happy?

Let's say we beat Toledo the spread is twelve and a half.

Let's say we beat them by two touchdowns, we beat them thirty one seventeen, or you know, twenty four to ten.

Speaker 5

It's a good win.

Speaker 4

Then what's a good win?

They're good team picked to win.

To talk, what happens when we ol Miss?

What does it happen?

You have to play All Miss close?

You've played them close down there twy I beat him last year, played them close at home.

Seems like every game with Old Miss comes down to the fourth quarter.

You can't start taking steps backwards on your ome.

Speaker 2

But to be fair, they will have had all off season.

This is their first real game.

They'll have played some stinky team in the first game.

So in theory, Lane's got all this stuff.

He was embarrassed by what happened last year.

They didn't make the playoff, probably because they lost to us.

Speaker 3

Do you think that we can keep that game close?

Speaker 5

That's my biggest fear what you just said.

He Lane Kiffin will not only try to pour it on, he will keep pouring it on, scores as many points he can and embarrassed Kentucky, you have ran.

Speaker 6

Sorry I said it, strap it on.

Speaker 2

Let's go, Yeah, he said, strap it on.

Speaker 3

It is weird you make it.

Speaker 2

I mean we've played them like three times in the last six or eight years, and every game has been shouldn't been twice touchdown.

You had the flag on Danes and even the time before that was that that was Auburn.

Speaker 3

We played during COVID.

Speaker 4

Well they played here in DK metcalf mosta guy in the corner of the end one to win had them beat that game.

That was AJ Brown and DK Metca.

Speaker 2

They're not as good this year as they were last year.

I mean they lost their quarterback.

They put a lot of money into that roster last year, so in theory that we could be just as good.

Speaker 4

Their new quarterback.

There's he's kind of projected middle of the pack SEC quarterback and this will be his first big start as they're a new leader, so he'll have pressure on him.

Being on the road.

We're looking as a tough spot for Kentucky, but that's a tough spot for him.

Speaker 2

Yeah, I mean they can't lose.

Yeah, that's a lot of pressure on them.

They cannot lose that game.

Speaker 5

They we all agree.

I think it's the biggest game of the season for Kentucky.

Speaker 2

Yeah, and then you got South Carolina coming the week after that.

I am sure when I saw the news, I knew you would be sad about Ryan Sandberg.

Speaker 5

It kind of really broke my heart.

I mean, he was like one of my idols growing up.

You know, when I was in high school, he was the bomb, he was MVP.

He was just not only a great player, but seemed like we a classy, great guy, somebody you want to model your life after.

I was not a Cubs fan, but I had all the Ryan Sandberg baseball cards.

I really worshiped the guy.

I really liked so did he was kind of sad.

Speaker 2

So you you know, when you if you're of a certain age, which is my age, your age, to some extent, Drew's age, it certainly Shannon's.

You know, when you were there were two baseball teams on television, right, yeah, I mean you had the Braves and if you lived here, you had the Braves and the Cups.

Speaker 3

Yep, that's what was on TV.

Speaker 2

The superstations, the superstation then, so you most kids chose Braves or Cubs because those were the two games on I mean there might have been people who are Reds and Cardinals fans up here, but where I grew up, you had the Braves in the Cups.

I chose the Braves, but my friend DJ chose the Cups.

And when you're thinking about the classic Braves people, we've talked about Dale Murphy and Bob Horner and then you got into the nineties with Glavin Smolts.

Speaker 3

Et cetera.

Speaker 2

But for the Cubs, there was really two, right Ryan Sandberg, Andre Dawson.

Speaker 4

Yeah, those are the two.

I think of them before Sosa or anyone ever in a Cubs uniform.

Those are the two.

Speaker 3

The Cubs stunk.

Speaker 2

During that time, and it was Ryan Sandberg and Andre Daggs and they're like a whole generation of people that are like you that it's all Ryan Sandberg, And I think the equivalent would be Shannon for the Braves if Dale Murphy dies, right, like, it's a very similar sort of connection.

Speaker 5

I think people would have You're right because you know, before the day and age or every game was on TV, you could watch the Cubs in the afternoon and the Braves.

Speaker 2

And You're right, the Cubs always played during the day, huh, because they didn't have any light yet.

And then Rick Sutcliffe was No, he was, wasn't he the pitcher?

Speaker 5

He was a great pitcher.

He had Mark Grace was her first baseman.

Speaker 3

Yeah, so you had all those guys.

Speaker 2

And what I didn't reize is he was like seventy one years old.

Yeah, it does not seem like he would be that old, does he?

Speaker 4

No, not at all.

And I'm like, you, I chose the Braves of the Cubs.

You had that one decision.

But my next door neighbor, Dylan, who's probably listening, picked the Cubs.

I texted him last night.

I mean, he loved Sandberg.

Heck I'm like Ryan, even though it was my team, I loved Sandberg the best second basement of that era.

Speaker 6

Maybe it doesn't seem like he was that old because he wasn't that old.

He was sixty five.

Speaker 3

Well that's everybody's got a different opinion, but he was.

Speaker 5

He was only sixty five.

Speaker 2

Okay, all right, so that's but still though it doesn't, that still feels older to me than he would than he would be.

But I when I thought when I heard it, I thought of you, because I've always heard you over the years express your admiral.

Speaker 5

Yeah, you know, our our our first names are not exactly the same.

But I kind of like the fact that he was Ryan Sandberg and I'm Ryan Lemon So I was a baseball player.

Speaker 4

Ball player, Yeah, Rhino.

Speaker 5

Yeah, I did a lot of people call me Rhino's.

Speaker 2

Rest in peace to Ryan passed away at the age of at least according to Shannon, sixty five years.

Speaker 6

Well the internet, do you know more than the internet?

We found that out in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 3

That's you.

Speaker 2

I'm glad You're appreciated.

Still one of the best stories.

Let's go to Reece.

Go ahead, reee eighty seven.

A couple open lineses.

Speaker 7

I think I have figured out the revshare question.

I think you and Norlander are both correct.

Norlander said something on the podcast that I think has kind of been skipped over, but he said, if Pope was smart, which I think we can agree he is, he would have frontloaded this year with purely nil no rev share, and that gives him double revshare for next year.

And so I think the real number is four and a half million for basketball.

But next year they can go overboard and have nine million, and they could return a senior Jalen Lowe, have Colin Chandler, Trent Noah the number one player in the country, and a Brandon Garrison and just go all out for a title.

Speaker 2

I think there is a very good chance that what you're saying is correct, and I appreciate the call.

Speaker 3

So I.

Speaker 2

Am becoming fascinated with just how all this is going to work going forward, right like, how is Kentucky Kentucky specifically, how are we going to do things?

And I think it seems to me that what he said, and this is what Norlander went into talk more about this about the break that Kentucky has basically created, this two year window where they are going all in for basketball.

They did it this year, and they're doing it this year with nil Old School, and then they're doing it next year with Revshare and basically going We're going for a Final four in the next two years.

It'll be interesting to see if that happens.

But they basically front loaded collective money this year and they'll backload it with Revshare next year.

I think he's probably right.

We'll be right back.

Speaker 3

TJ.

Smith, personal injury attorney, called TJ.

Speaker 4

He'll make them pay.

Speaker 2

Now.

Speaker 6

More of Kentucky Sports Radio present it by Stockton Mortgage.

Here's Matt Jones.

Speaker 2

Welcome back to you Sports Radio eight five nine two twenty two eighty seven.

Slow on the calls today, I'm here ready to take them.

I don't know why, uh we would.

I would love to chat with you if you have thoughts.

I thought some people would be like Bush Hampden is too confident.

Maybe he's the exact right amount of confident.

But you can let me know.

MB stands for millibars.

Speaker 4

Okay, goodness?

Speaker 6

Does that change anything?

Speaker 2

Change absolutely nothing?

One person writes, Matt, What about the other guys on the Cubs?

Sean Dunstan, Yeah, Sean Dunstan is very good.

When you mentioned Mark Grace, Greg Maddox, he was on there for them until he went to the Brave.

Speaker 6

Let me go back to the Cubs after he left the Braves for like a short stint.

Speaker 3

Did he I didn't remember?

Speaker 6

That might be wrong.

Speaker 2

Did he go into the Hall of Fame as a cover of Brave?

I always think it's funny how they make the players choose one.

Speaker 5

Yeah, you gotta choose one one.

Speaker 3

Which one?

Did he go in as a cover of brave?

Speaker 6

I'm not sure.

I think I want to say brave.

Speaker 2

Yeah, I mean at his most, but he won the Cy Young with the Cubs.

Speaker 4

Braves.

Speaker 2

I always like to play the game, even though I'm a Reds fan.

Now, the game of name old Braves.

Now I'm talking before the nineties, so I'm talking eighties.

Oh god, let's you and I play.

Speaker 6

I'm not good on eighties.

It's gonna be all you, my friend.

Speaker 2

All right, Well, then I'll go to one's I.

You got Dale Murphy, Bob Horner, you got Glenn old Mother Hubbard.

Oh, Yeah, you got Ken Oberkfell.

Speaker 5

Yes, you've got.

Speaker 2

Claudale Washington, You've got Rick Mayler, You've got Paul Zuvella, Ozzie Virgil, good One, Zane Smith.

Speaker 4

Yeah, you haven't named my favorite.

Yep, Bob Horner.

Speaker 3

Those are the easy ones.

Speaker 2

Don't hit your casual if you're getting I'm getting into the like deep ones.

Speaker 6

Is my year I could get.

Speaker 4

Once we get in to the.

Speaker 2

Nineties, though, it gets too easy because they were in the world I'm talking about when they were losing a hundred games every year.

That's the teams I'm in the nineties.

Of course, it's easy you get.

You get Chipper Maddox, Glavin Smolts, you got Terry Pendleton, David Justice, Otis Nixon, Dion Sanders.

Speaker 6

Got Blouser, you know, we get that guy.

Speaker 3

He was an eighties guy.

That's a good call.

Speaker 2

Charlie Lee Brands, Uh yeah, oh, Mark, what was the closer?

Speaker 5

Yeah yeah.

Speaker 3

Jeffridan's more of an eighties guy, though, isn't he.

Speaker 6

You know he's on those nineties.

Speaker 3

What was the name of the dude he would throw it?

Bruce Suitor?

Yeah, uh, Barber, Jean Barber, Jean Barber.

Speaker 2

By the way, I know most people you are just saying old people's names.

But when I was a kid, I watched all of those games because it was again, you're right, it's the only sports on back then.

It was either that or Monster Truck on the ESPN, and so that's what you watched.

Speaker 5

It was the Braves and the Podres.

You sat and watched it because it was they were the only game.

Speaker 6

Steve Avery was my favorite.

Greg Maddox did play for the Cubs for two seasons after the Braves.

Speaker 2

Boy, I had no memory of that.

I had no memory of that.

Uh whatsoever.

Christian Wilkins, the defensive tackle for the Raiders, was kicked off.

It was a Pro bowler was dismissed from the team for kissing his teammate on the forehead in a playful manner.

According to the story, he was somebody they were talking about something, and he made a joke.

It was like you poor baby, and he kissed him by the forehead, and then the player complained and he was dismissed from the team.

Now, apparently he'd had other stuff stuff like this, but like he'd had other things that he had done that some of his teammates maybe really didn't particularly like him.

But what do you think about getting dismissed from the team for a forehead kiss?

They owed him thirty five dollars.

Speaker 4

My takeaway is, I don't believe that for one second.

What did you really do?

That's what they're telling us.

You don't get kicked off the team for forehead kiss, No, he did something else.

Speaker 5

If you think that's the worst thing that happens in an NFL locker room, you are sadly mistaken.

Speaker 3

Worse this is well, then why would they say this as the thing.

Speaker 4

To not have the locker room stuff out?

See you later, We'll say it was a kiss.

Everybody get our story together.

Have you ever kissed someone on the forehead?

Speaker 3

Yeah?

Speaker 5

Yeah, I kissed Booney in the lips of the Saint Louis CC tournament pregame show.

Speaker 2

I don't know if you wanted to just throw that out there.

I mean, he may be listening to I don't know if he wanted.

Speaker 3

Yeah.

Speaker 4

People on Twitter have other versions that I won't repeat, But there was a lot more physical content on the forehead.

Has to be a history of locker room playing around.

Speaker 5

So that that's this is what they're using as an excuse.

Speaker 3

But okay, so this goes to, uh, this goes to a couple of.

Speaker 2

Things that I I've never understood why in sports are we like, is it normal to hit your teammate on the butt?

Speaker 3

Like, why is that a thing?

Speaker 2

Like in nowhere else in life could you go nice job, Shannon and I just smack you right on the butt.

But in sports acceptable acceptable, It's always been duh huh.

And I've always found that really strange.

I have I'm not even when I was a kid.

It's like, that's a really weird.

Speaker 4

Thing to do.

Speaker 5

Yeah, why do we do?

Speaker 3

Where did that come from?

Speaker 5

I don't know, I don't know.

We've been a part of our sports growing up, our whole lives.

Coach like get out there, go get a bud.

Speaker 3

And oftentimes I don't know if this is true anymore, but.

Speaker 2

At least for years, the stereotype would be that players that play sports are often like fairly homophobic, and yet they do that or kiss people in the head.

Yeah, like that's something that happens a lot.

Speaker 5

If you want to get really creepy when guy to female athletes.

Speaker 3

Well yeah, but if they do that, they're getting dismissed.

Speaker 5

Now they are, But back in the day it used to happen.

Speaker 3

They would kiss female athletes, no, pat.

Speaker 5

Them on the bellt go get them as they break the hood.

Absolutely right, I should never.

Speaker 3

Be I would argue you probably shouldn't allow it ever, Like it's.

Speaker 5

Weird, it's very weird.

Speaker 2

But it was always a part of sports culture that you would just hit you on the butt like that happens, And I just it's always been strange.

Even when I was a kid, I thought that was weird.

And I've never understood why that was something that that happened.

Speaker 4

Did it start like like you kind of like a like a horse, you go up and just smack it and get it to run.

Is it kind of like a horse?

Speaker 6

I mean, I don't know that, but usual it would like.

Speaker 3

I congratulations, like you did something good.

Speaker 4

Yeah, but what do you want a horse to do when you when you want it to run, you smack it in the butt.

Maybe that's just kind of how it drives.

Speaker 2

Like it is crazy to me to think that we When I was a kid, it was completely acceptable for adults to hit kids in the butt a for punishment, but also for pleasure.

For pleasure, you know you When I was a kid, you just did like people just hit kids in the butt for whatever.

Speaker 3

And that's crazy.

Now now that.

Speaker 4

You've been in sports if you are just send them out on the field.

You could just raise your hand a few answers and get the back and say go get them.

Speaker 6

Yeah.

Speaker 3

When I saw this and you make I'm sure you're right that.

Yeah, I'm sure you're right.

Speaker 2

But it was a sense of man, this has changed a lot because this was like one of their best players.

Speaker 5

Yeah, that's why there has to be more to the story and a kiss on the forehead.

I don't believe that for a second.

Speaker 3

Yeah, Alex, you can tell me.

Speaker 8

Hey, first time, long time?

Speaker 3

Who are what's up?

Speaker 8

Just driving through construction on seventy five going away for you?

Speaker 3

Yes, hey, just one.

Speaker 8

Since we were talking about the offensive line and stuff.

Do you think by the I'm like, I can't remember them announcing like an assistant offensive line coach.

Do you think that they are?

You know, they're not trying to say a lot, but emphasizing to the fans that hey, we're working on the off I.

Speaker 3

Think he's apparently he's been there for a while.

I appreciate the call.

Speaker 2

It's just at some point they have to they have to tell you, as a public university who is on staff, and I guess for whatever reason, they just announced it a day or two ago, probably because we all the media would have all shown up Friday, seen his name on the list and said.

Speaker 3

Who is that guy?

That's just my guess.

I wouldn't read much into.

Speaker 4

It besides that.

Oh and sometimes I mean they'll give a raise and we only find out about it because the reporter, yeah you know, gets wind of it and looks into it.

They don't always put it out there voluntarily.

Ford.

If Mitch is talking yet, he saw he's scheduled Friday, I don't know.

Speaker 2

If he's scheduled to talk at like noon, non So before we go in there, yeah, I go in there and ask questions before we start, Yeah, because I I think Mitch has the most questions for me he does.

I think the questions about rev Share, I think the questions about whether or not all this stuff by going to the private thing, whether or not they're going to release information.

I think that stuff's important and it needs to be asked, and like he needs to answer it.

I mean people, you know, a couple times when I've brought this up about what are they going to spend on?

What people are like, you know, Matt, you could let him make the decision.

You should never have the position that a government entity or a public entity should not release information unless there's like a national security reason, which I don't believe Kentucky football is involved in national security.

I mean, I like people should know what their public university is doing, and I think Mitch needs to say it.

And if the other schools don't, well then they're reporters that those schools should ask.

But we should know, and I think people should ask Mitch, and if they fail, I'm able to go, I'll ask him.

Speaker 4

Unfortunately to ten I was thirty minutes.

Speaker 2

See, of course are on the air, so that we can't ask the questions.

Maybe I'll send you Ryan to go ask during the first segment.

Do you even know what to ask?

Let's play this game, Shannon, You're gonna be Mitch Barnhart.

Ask Mitch Barnhart the question that I want you.

Speaker 5

To ask mister Barnhart.

Ryley take say, mister Barnhardt say yeah, and Brian Lemon can take a sports radio.

There's been a lot of speculation about the REV share, how it'll be split along your football and basketball.

Can you kind of explain to all of us what exactly your plan.

Speaker 6

Is for ith anybody else have a question.

Next question that's not.

Speaker 2

Gonna get your answer.

I think you want to say.

You guys have now gone.

Are you going to Are you going to tell the public how much of the twenty point six million dollars is going to be released for each sport?

That's a yes or no questions, a yes or no question.

You ask questions to where they cannot avoid the answer.

Speaker 5

So I asked a question.

He has to give me how he's gonna split it up.

Speaker 3

No, he'll just go it's going to be very flexible, and it's you just say I asked him.

Speaker 5

He tells us just to describe it as a split.

Speaker 3

Well, describe it could be it's going to be flexible.

Yes or no?

Speaker 5

Yeah, yes, answer, no question, Your question's bad, My question's good.

Speaker 2

No, No, you ask Matts, then follow up with you yes exactly.

You say two questions, Mitch.

Number one, are you going to release the public each year the amount of money given to each sport?

Speaker 3

Yes?

Then can you tell us for this?

Then John Wong follows and says, I've got.

Speaker 4

Longs, whisperings, whinnings, longings.

All right, someone there will ask, Okay, it can't be we have to know that questions, but also people can't let.

Speaker 2

Him avoid it by saying things like it's good to be flexible.

How much are we gonna know at the end of each year how much money went to each board?

Speaker 3

Yes or no?

Speaker 2

Yes, he's got answers yes, but we don't know it's he.

Speaker 6

Say yes or no.

He'll say something else.

Speaker 2

Well, then I that's where you scoop follow up and say this is a yes or no question, sir, check yes or no.

Speaker 3

We can do it with UK.

Speaker 2

As matter of fact, before I go to the phones, most obscure UK player of your lifetime who was on the roster for at least one game.

Who is the and you can't pick a walk on?

So like scholarship player, most obscure of your lifetime, scholarship UK basketball player.

I have the definitive answer, but I'm not gonna give it.

I want to hear what you all think.

Who's the most obscure?

Speaker 5

What's the one?

Speaker 8

Is it?

Speaker 5

Nate Young?

Speaker 2

I'll see you were gonna say mine, that's mine.

Nate Knight, Nate Knight, Nate Knight.

That was gonna be my pick.

Yeah, because he was only here for like seven games.

Yep, Nate Knight.

That you you you read my mind?

That was gonna be mine.

Speaker 3

Uh?

What about?

Speaker 2

I always go back to the guys that were here Patino's first year.

Michael Parks.

Speaker 5

I don't remember that guy, Michael Parks.

Speaker 3

Michael Parks.

Do you remember the other guys that were on that team?

Speaker 2

Jason Latham Jason Latham nice, although I think he was on one of the later teams.

Okay, but that's a good call.

That's a random one as well, Jason Lather.

There was one guy with Michael Parks that was his name was like Todd Parker or something.

Speaker 5

Man, I don't know.

Speaker 2

What about billy guys?

If I get them, and if I give you the walk Ons too, who would you say, Master Benskin, Buddy delf.

Speaker 4

Is a great buddy has because he was hem or something.

Speaker 2

What was the guy Antoine Walker's cousin, Jarvis Jarvis Walker?

Speaker 4

Huh, because there's like five Jarvis Walker's.

It was a UK football Jarvis Walker.

Speaker 3

Yes, Jarvis Walker is a good one.

Speaker 4

Cal Eric Sasha, Kaleia Jones.

Speaker 2

I think would be my eason to forget the The player that is was is the best that people forget went here is Isaiah Jackson.

Speaker 5

Yeah.

Speaker 2

I mean it was a first round pick and his name never gets brought up while you were gone.

Speaker 4

We did a draft of forgotten players and he was number one overall by me, and he got his name forgot.

Speaker 2

That's right, I forgotten and he was a first round pick and people have completely forgotten he existed.

Speaker 5

Who was getting good minutes with the Patriots until he got hurt.

This Jason is a great yeah.

Speaker 4

Donald Williams.

Speaker 2

Donald Williams also, I think he was on scholarship.

Speaker 4

Actually for you mistransfer if I'm not mistaken.

Speaker 5

Oliver Simmons and Jackson number one pick number one, further proving the all forgotten team.

Speaker 2

What about during the Sutton Sutton era before me, Tod Todd Ziegler.

Speaker 3

Is a good call.

Speaker 4

So anyway, I saw Todd Ziegler at the soccer game, you know, way where the like presenting UK people.

Speaker 5

He's like a big wig in the way and Todd I think he's a VP of a bank or something.

Speaker 3

All right, Lucky is in Campbellsville.

Speaker 4

Go ahead, Lucky, Yeah, thanks taking my call.

Speaker 8

Guys, Uh yeah, you kind of stole.

Speaker 6

My thunder on some of them players.

Speaker 4

I grew up in a skip carry age of braves base.

Speaker 2

Yeah that is a pretty good skip.

But go ahead, But uh, you didn't need to try to repeat it.

Speaker 4

Problem?

Speaker 6

Uh what?

Speaker 8

Uh?

My question is on the revenue sharing.

Speaker 3

He's at the state university.

Speaker 8

Don't they have to divulge that information where the money's man stand?

Speaker 2

See, I would argue they do, But then they created this private entity, and I part of me wanted I think part of the reason they did that was to be able to do business deals.

But part of me wonders if the reason they're doing in this so they don't have to release it to the public.

Speaker 3

I don't know.

Speaker 2

This because I don't know Kentucky public records law in depth, but I cannot believe they would allow the state to create a private entity so they didn't have to release the information.

To me, that would have to be illegal.

But I'd meant public records law is complicated, and I don't know what the law is, so I don't know.

But that's why I think you got to ask, Mitch, are you all planning to release this information?

Because to me, if the university is going to spend twenty point six million dollars of money that while it doesn't come from the tax payer, it still is state money, and you are going to give that to athletes, I think you have to at a minimum say where the money's going.

Speaker 3

I think you have to, don't you.

Speaker 5

Can they file on Open Records Act?

Speaker 2

Well, they can, but will the state?

The state a judge will determine whether or not they have to give it.

And I don't know what the answer will because I don't know the open records law enough.

But I cannot imagine that if it was the University of Kentucky athletics, they would have to release it.

But then they can create a private entity just move everything over there and say we.

Speaker 3

Don't have to it.

I just can't imagine that's the law, because other things could do that.

Speaker 2

Well, why wouldn't we just do it for all the academics, Like why wouldn't you just say we're not going to tell you how much we pay our teachers, We're just going to have an LLC that's university team.

Why wouldn't every high school do that?

Why wouldn't every government entity like that can't be allowed.

So I don't know, I'm not sure.

I mean, will this, but well that's why the question is so important for you to ask.

Reporter Ryan is at nine thirty so you can ask it.

You don't you look nervous?

Speaker 5

I got to set up the equipment Friday Market
