This is Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones. Welcome everyone at Kentucky Sports Radio. Thursday, February the 22nd. I'm Matt Jones here at the KS Bar and Grill. I'm with Ryan. Drew is on vacation for the next couple of days. So it is me, Ryan, and Shannon.

We come out and have lunch and sit with us on a cloudy day. Give us a shout on the Clark's Pump and Shop phone line. I'd like to hear what you have to say. 859-2-80-20-287. A-Vision Auto Glass text machine is 772-7-4-5-254 in this edition. Sponsored by a T.J. Smith Law Office, you call T.J. I'll make them pay. Ryan, you and I were in here until late last night trying to pull out a Kentucky win, and we ended up losing very, very disappointing all the way around, right?

Yeah, but before we get into the game, it was amazing. After that final shot went in, this place was empty within like five minutes. And I mean empty. I was the last person to leave, and it was empty. People ran out of here. People ran out of here. Like the sadness when you lose, everybody's like, I'm out. Yep.

Like, they ran out of here. I couldn't believe it. I think that sums it up. Everybody was so mad and upset and disappointed. They wanted to get the heck out of here. Hopefully they paid their bills. I think they break their bills. Well, first of all, before we get to that, my phone is not working.

So is there something going on in this area or is it across the country? Looks like it's across the country. Does yours work, Shannon? Yeah, mine works fine. So yours works. I don't have your service. What do you have? T-Mobile.

That's what I have. I have T-Mobile. It seems like the problem is AT&T and T and Verizon. Okay. But some people that have AT&T and Verizon are working, but then some people aren't. Now, you have an iPhone, though. Shannon, right? Correct. So it's not just iPhone. No, no, it's the service.

Yeah, the provider. See, I thought it was just maybe local here in Lexington when you said your phone wasn't working, but it's... No, no, I think it's nationwide. It was the number one show on the national news this morning. So what could it be? That's what they don't know. They haven't said what it is. See, they need to tell us. Like, because it feels like, it feels ominous to me. Like when there's this many people who don't have it.

Plus, Shannon, you take for granted, like, sitting in the parking lot and finalizing the topics. Yeah. Because I had to come inside and get on the Wi-Fi. And then there are people like you, like I couldn't text you even if I wanted to. Yeah. Because you're not on Wi-Fi. Like, you're not on the blue bubbles.

So, like, if I need to talk to Ryan, it's just over. Forget about it. Like, it's over. Like, you, when you walk out of here, you cease to exist to me until the next time I see you. It's going to be like old times. Because I don't have a landline. I'm going to say. We don't even have a landline.

In some ways, if you think about it, right now, we're less connected than we've been to my entire life. There would be no way for me to get in touch with you, Ryan, without coming to your house, and I don't know your address, and just banging on your door. Yeah, without a landline and without sending a letter that'll get to me in a couple days. What would I do, Shannon? Smoke signals? I don't know. We just have to do without Ryan. Just wait for him to find it. So basically, until they fix this, you don't exist to me. Well, you could, though, Matt. Can you get on the Internet?

Yeah. So you get on Facebook and send up a message on Facebook. Why can sit on Facebook? Well, I can get on Wi-Fi. Yeah. But I have to be in a place with Wi-Fi. Yeah. Twitter.

My house has Wi-Fi. That's how you can do it. But I'd have to be on Wi-Fi. But, like, how do I know what you're going to check? You might just be sitting there. So, but I don't know. I don't know what percentage of people don't have it. Because, you know, you Google search and people are like, well, I have it.

I don't have it. That doesn't tell me. Did they say on the news, Shannon, what percentage of people don't have it? I was actually reading it this morning, 54% of people without it. No kidding. 54% of the whole country? I think that's right. Wow.

Of AT&T customers across the country. 54% of AT&T. Well, I know there are Verizon people out too. Yes. So you all, you little cheap T-Mobile skates, you somehow got through it. That's good service. No, T-Mobile's everyone. T-Nob is the worst.

Do you get a free whopper every Tuesday? No, you don't. That's my point, though. That's my point. They have to give you a free whopper. Let me ask you a question, Shannon. What is a high-budget thing that comes with a free whopper? Do you go shop at, like, Louis Vuitton, and they throw in a free whopper?

They might. There's nothing wrong with T-Mobile. My phone works. So your high-budget phone, how's it doing right now? It's a brick right now. It doesn't do anything. It says S-O-S. Now, what does that mean?

Does that mean it would work if you had to? I guess so. That's your only service you've got is SOS? But I don't feel like I can call anybody SOS. No. Not unless you know you're broken down on the side of the road. So what do I do? I mean, like, so basically, if you don't have an iPhone, there's no way for me to talk to you.

You're going to have to stay here at the restaurant all day. You're going to live here. Just sit down on the Wi-Fi. But even on the Wi-Fi, I can't talk to you. I can't send you a message no matter what. Because on Wi-Fi, you can only send the Blue Bubbles. I'm talking about, like, social media connect with me that way. Yeah. Well, I'm not sitting here all day and trying to connect with you.

So we have no idea why and no idea how long? I guess. As far as I know, I've seen no story except people going what's going on. I feel like Shannon, the powers that be at AT&T and Verizon or whatever, they need to say something. I don't think, I don't know that they even know right now. Well, see, that's even really, that's more scary if they don't know. If they don't know, then we're in trouble. The major cities. The major cities are the ones that got hit the biggest, it seems like.

But we're not a major city. No, but like it listed, like L.A., New York, Houston, Chicago. See, that makes it seem like to me the fact that it's spread out all over the country. It's a hack. It's a target. It's an attack. It feels like an attack. If it was just in one place, but it feels like an attack.

And, you know, apparently there's people say, Shannon, a Netflix movie about this. Oh. That just came out recently called like. What a way to promote it. Let's just take everybody's phone service. No, but there's a movie like where the world ends or something. See what it, I think, look it up, Shannon. There's a movie, I think Obama was actually the producer of it.

But it's a fictional movie, but part of the scenario is everyone's phones stop working. Where the world comes to an end or... Leave the world behind. So you're saying Barack Obama. I don't think, I'm not saying Barack Obama. I think that's what he just said, right? I'm saying that like there's a movie, though, recently that came out that talks about. about this and it was like a precursor to them like taking over the world.

Yeah. So now you got to wonder what happens this afternoon. You got a no Bava phone. First of all, am I going to, no Bavaphone. That's what happened. Am I, are we even going to be able to do trivia? This says need to turn on Wiphone calling. I don't know what that means. Wifi calling. I don't know what Wi-Fi calling. Yeah. What does that mean? You've got an option in there where you can turn it on and And I could call you? I think through Wi-Fi. Yeah.

That means you don't use the towers. It just goes through Wi-Fi. And I could call the ride. We can try it. Do I want to do that? It feels like a lot of work. I'm just, I'm a little concerned. I'm not going to say, like, I'm not like you all.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I'm not like, oh, they're trying to put, you know, they're trying to put chips through the vaccine and all that. I'm not in me. I'm just saying I think it's a little concerning that it's in, all over the country and that it's two different companies, right? So it's not just like Shannon, the AT&T towers went down. If there's also some Verizon down, or even if there's some team, I don't know.

Is cricket a different thing? Apparently, people are saying crickets down. I think it just stays down if you have cricket. I don't think it's actually a surprise when you do have service. This is just a normal day with cricket. So it's obviously a hack from some T-Mobile people or Barockel. So you think Team Mobile and Barack Obama got together to plug the movie. Correct.

And, well, Barack probably has an Android. So what time tonight or today, if it still doesn't work, do you start to get worried? Like, how long does it take before? Because apparently it started at 3.30 a.m. We were asleep. Yeah. But that's a while back. So it's been, Shannon, six and a half hours, almost seven hours.

Yeah. At what time do you go, uh-oh, this is like a thing? What time do you go, maybe you switch your phone service to T-Mobile, so you don't have to worry about it. Yeah, but they're coming for them, too. They're not going to only, unless T-Mobile or the criminal. Well, they were actually, T-Mobile was initially listed with the other two. But I, you know, I don't have T-Mobile. I didn't see any problems with it.

So it was those three. Oh, well, those are like the three, though. Those are the three biggest ones. Yeah. Sprint got bought out, right, by T-Mobile? Yeah. I'm just saying, what time of day today do you start to go, I'm a little worried about what's happening? I don't think I get worried today.

If it's still out tomorrow, then maybe I get a little worried. So you're giving them 24 hours before you start demanding change. By this time tomorrow, if you still don't have phone service, you got to have it. I'm just surprised Shane, and there aren't more stories about it. It feels like this would be the most, if 54% of the country's phones don't work. Yeah. It feels like that would be a much bigger story. Yeah.

Right? I mean, it was this morning. Do you watch the news? No. It was the 911 story. I tried to get it on my phone and they don't. You know, that was the big concern. Nobody could call 911.

Well, that's what, yeah. But when you have SOS, can you call 911? I think so. I don't know. I don't know. I have another theory. What's your theory? John Caliperi.

So we don't lead off with the shit. Well, why don't we then? Well, let's not let him win. So we lost last night. You know, I don't know what's more disappointing. Well, I know what's more than it. We were up 15. That's why it's disappointing.

I mean, I actually didn't think we played the last three minutes poorly. You know, I mean, that last shot was luck for them. I mean, you know, a dude gets a block. The guy makes an amazing play if you watch the replay. I mean, it blocks. He goes, as he's falling out of bound, grabs it and passes it before he goes out of That was a pretty amazing. Amazing.

So, like, I can't get on him. I can't get on. I mean, Adieu was, Reeves played good defense, drove him into a do. A doo. A doo was there to block it. Like, to me, I don't know what else you can do. Yeah, a flute play. Flute play.

Dillingham was awesome down the stretch. So, like, I don't, I have no criticisms of the last two to three minutes. My criticisms are you gave up a 15-point lead on the road. Ryan, you just can't do that. No. And it felt like they were on the verge of running them off the floor. Everything was working, man. They were hitting their shots.

They looked good. Made some key defensive plays also. And then just all of a sudden, in a blink of an eye, we look up and like, oh, man, they've already cut it to three, just like that. That's been just a criticism, I think, the last couple years. They just can't close a team out. They can't step on their throat when they got them down. And they had them down last night.

It was over. Yeah, it was over. I mean, it should have. I mean, obviously, it was not over. But it should have been over. Yep. Should have been over. That should have been the end of the game.

we should be sitting here talking today about what an exciting win. We should be talking about the two great defensive plays that Addu made. He got the steel that led to Dillingham's three, and then you said the block at the end. That's what we should be talking about, those three things right there. Yeah. I mean, well, and you should be talking about the fact that Reeves was awesome for 25 minutes, and then Dillingham was awesome in the last 10 minutes.

Yep. Dillingham couldn't. He became just an animal in that second half. He could not miss. That second half, even though he lost, probably makes sure Dilley to him is the top five. Oh, no, no, that. He had one point at halftime and missed a lot of shots. Didn't matter.

Came back and hit everything in the second half. Yeah. And I don't know about you. I had a lot of confidence in him down the stretch. I felt like he was going to score almost every play. Yeah. I was totally good. By the way, there was a lot of criticism online about shooting the ball with 15 seconds or 12 seconds left.

That's what they should have done. You're losing. You're losing. You're down too. You play out the, this is why people shouldn't be coaches. You play out the scenarios. All right, if you win, yes, you give them another chance. But what you have to think about is if you miss the shot,

if Dillian misses that shot and they get the rebound, the game's not over yet. Yeah. Because you can foul. They've missed a bunch of free throws. A bunch. Right? Yeah. They are, they shoot free throws.

And even if they make them both, you're still a one possession game. So that's why you go early. If you wait until five or six seconds, if you miss the game's over, you're basically one. And sometimes you'll see teams that stink do that, but we're better than them, right? So you want to give yourself more chances. I was totally fine with when they went for it. I'm actually glad they did it that way, even though it didn't work out. I am too.

I mean, I'm glad you laid out the scenario. Let's say he had missed. They get the rebound. You foul them. They shoot a free throw. You still got eight seconds on the clock to try. got to get a shot off or something. Yeah.

And as soon as Dylan had got the ball, I wanted him to shoot it. Me too. And he was, for him, open. With the guy in his face falling out of bounds, nothing but net. I still, though, would rather have that shot than what, I mean, a lob to a do or something. No, no doubt. You know, really, you and I said this last night. Kentucky is lucky because they could have been down more.

They missed a half a dozen. We were so bad defensively in the second half. For all the movement we've made defensively, they scored 48, and it probably should have been 60. Yeah. They missed. They got a layup every time, and they just missed them up. Just missed a bunch of two-footers. They just missed a bunch of them, and then missed free throws.

They could have scored 60 points in that second half. Yep. So we were, I think we were kind of fortunate, and I think we lost the game because when Reeves got his third foul, Cal took him out. I understood that, but then he left him out along. He did, said a long time. And I think that was too long. Yeah. I think that was, you know.

And then with eight minutes to go, we had a three-minute stretch where we had Bradshaw and Hugo in together. And I'll never understand that. When you got those two guys in there, you only got three offensive threats. And we clogged the lane up. Like, you just can't, it just doesn't work. 859-280, 2287, if your phone's working. If you're not, then text in the text machine, 7-7-2-7-47-45-25. If you don't have Wi-Fi, well, I hope you're open.

Okay. Like, I hope you're all right out there in the woods. Like, it's like we're back into olden time, Shannon. Like, we all should turn butter. Except we don't have our landlines now to call people. Yeah. That's the problem now. This is literally panic on the streets. Right.

We'll be right back. To talk to Matt Jones and the crew, call the Clark's Pump and Shop phone line at 859-280-2-87 or 1-800-606. And send us the Kentucky brandit tweet of the day by tweeting, Matt at KYSports Radio. I say now people are sending their fixes, Shannon. I don't know if I trust any of this. Okay. What's the fix?

Somebody wrote, Matt, go to your, on an iPhone, go to your settings, general, then hit transfer or reset iPhone, reset, reset, network settings. But only do the network settings. If you do a regular reset, it's not good. I don't know what that means. I know I'll do the wrong thing. And erase everything on your phone. And erase everything.

And I don't want to do that. Yeah. So I can't do that. A bunch of people were saying it's a solar flare. Have you seen that? What does that mean? What the heck is a solar flare? And how are they going to fix that?

Like, that's beyond our control. Yeah. I was just telling you this during the break. And I know this has nothing to do with game. But you know what? We could just sit here and bitch or we could actually like try to have some degree of help society. Okay.

So do you know who Neil de Grassee Tyson is? I do not. He's this guy. He's like a physicist. Do you know who he's? is, Shannon? No, I don't. He's like a black guy that's a physicist.

He's very, very smart. And his thing is that, like, he can explain physics and astronomy and all that to idiots like us. Okay. Right? So he'll go on podcast, and on TikTok, I'm on his little algorithm. And so I see his stuff. And I always find it interesting.

You know, one of the people he does a regular podcast with is the guy from police academy who could make all the sounds. Winslow? Michael Winslow? I think that's who it is. I think he does a podcast. Because that guy's supposed to be the dumb guy that he tells everything to. Like you and me.

Exactly. All right. So, Shannon, he takes a globe. Okay? Yeah. He takes a globe. And he uses his finger and he moves it like two inches from the globe. And he says, I want to give you a sense of how big space is.

He was like the international space station is like relatively two inches from the globe. Fairly close. And then he goes, about 100 feet from here would be the moon. Or not 100 feet, 30 feet from here would be the moon. So, like, he shows you the proportion of how far we are from the International Space Station. He said Mars would be a mile away. Oh, my goodness. And he said another galaxy would be, like, 150 miles away proportionally.

Yeah. And his point was, if any alien, he was talking about aliens, he was like, I'm not going to say it's impossible that there's an alien life form. But if they came here, they would have to be so much more advanced than us to get here that they could blow us off the world. Because we have no ability to go as far away as they would have had to go to coming here. Does that make sense? Yeah, it's a little scary, too.

So when you watch him, I don't know what this has to do with the phone, Shannon. But he takes these concepts. Now, of course, I don't know that he's right, but it feels like he would have been. Like he's famous, right, Shannon? Yeah, he does. He does all. He knows more about than we do. Certainly knows more about it than I do.

So I would ask, like, but if there's a solar flare, I would like to ask him, is that fixable? I don't know if it feels like we can fix that. I don't know either, but what I just heard from your story, it's aliens that have caused the phone outage now. And I don't want to do these things this guy, this dude says, Shannon, because what if I get it wrong? You'll end up deleting everything in your existence that you won't have any way of recovering it when you should just be patient. I think now the SOS has disappeared off my phone. Oh, that's good. But it doesn't say that I have any service.

It's just like dots. Maybe you've got to reboot it. All right now, well, I'm going to do that right now. Well, I'm still worried. 859-28027. One person writes, Matt, what do you think about the fact that Cal only took two questions? Not surprised, unfortunately. Now I'm back to SOS.

Go ahead. Yeah, I mean, I want to cut him a little. little slack because, you know, the game ended at 1130. And he's got the early game on Saturday. That's the dumbest thing. Early game on Saturday. They play at 4 o'clock. Yeah, 4 o'clock.

Look, I cut a tiny bit of slack. At the same time, how much time, Shannon, could they have possibly said, five minutes, 10 minutes? I mean, like, it's not like we're talking about, it's not like they're flying out of an airline that they've got to go get through security and catch the plane. Did you hear Cal's comments with Tom Leach? I did, yes, but I don't remember what you're getting at. Tom sounded like he was out of breath.

No, Tom was chasing him. He was chasing him. He really was. Yeah. Jim, did you hear that? No. By the end, Tom was panty. He was.

We'll be right back. He was like. Like, there's no doubt. It was like they were on a treadmill together. I think at one point Tom said, Cal's got to cut away to meet the media. I guess he did two questions. Neil Reeves took questions from somebody I'd never seen, and he seemed calm.

He was just sitting there in his locker. I know, and Jack did the post-game comments in a car in the bus, because you could hear the police sirens. Were they running from the cops? Like, why were you there? I mean, they were on the first thing smoking out of there, right? I mean, it really was. They were like, out. Peace out.

We got to get the heck out of here. I don't know. I wonder how long did they would have done that if they won, though, you know? Yeah, I don't think it would have been like that. Are you surprised how much DJ Wagner struggled? Because he was not good. He was not good. And we had bragged on him this week how good he's been since he came back from his ankle problem against Ole Miss and then against Auburn.

I felt like his return sparked him in both of those wins. But last night is once again one of those nights where he just doesn't handle the moment very well. I mean, he missed wide open looks. He missed a couple drives. I mean, I don't know. Turn it over. Turned it over? His shot seems like broken, broken, doesn't it?

Yeah, he had that one wide open look, and you and Drew and I all look at each other and were like, he's got to hit that. Yeah. Yeah. It looks broken. One person writes, Matt, I think most people got it back a few minutes ago. No, shut up. No, you didn't. The sun emitted two solar flares at 132 a.m.

And that messed up the satellite? Well, no, no. I didn't say that. This is just saying that happened. Okay. So I was asleep. Actually, I wasn't asleep. I was trying to get asleep.

You were wrapping up the post-game show. I was trying to figure out how I could get asleep. I got too worked up, Shannon. Normally I try to have like a laid-back post-game show when it's really late so I can go to bed. And a guy got me worked up. He was like, UK's not a blue blood. And I was like, shut up. Appreciate the call next.

And I started, and we went back and forth and back and forth. And it got me way too worked up so that when I got done, I had to take time to calm down. That's why you have your cornbread. It worked, but it just took longer than it should. We'll take a break. Take your calls. Be right back.

KS.R. T.J. Smith, personal injury attorney. Call T.J. He'll make them pay. Now, more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones. This can't be right, Jim. Are you there?

Yeah, yeah. Why'd you stop it? It just went off on its own. I don't know what happened. It's weird. Barack Obama. Weird things are happening It's an ophthalmophone

It says AT&T says only 70,000 customers have outages I don't believe that There's three in this bar No there's more than that 70,000 in one market Maybe

Team Mobile says we don't have an outage Shut up team Yeah team mobile Team Team Mobile Team Mobile What it's about Team Mobile Tuesday I gotta find out more about

This free Whopper you're getting from Team Mobile I've never got a free wapper You can open the app I'm looking at AT&T's social media. The last thing they posted was three and a half days ago. Well, that doesn't help me. Can you not give us an update AT&T? Oh, we get free Denny's this week. Two slices of Rio's French toast.

Here's what AT&T says. People are writing them. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. This is not the service we want. We will try to give you further assistance. What a bot answer. It's a bud. If it's something from a solar flare, that's going to be fixable. Why do you say that? You say that like you know. Well, you know.

Shannon, how would he know what a solar flare does? He does have a lot of useless knowledge. How would you know what that would do? Well, you go to solar flare.com. You know, no. You said that with such confidence. Well, if it was something from a solar flare, it'll be fine. Yeah, it's just a flare.

Like, it's quick, right? It's like a flash in the pan. Yes, and it'll go back to normal. It's like, you know, when it rains. it eventually stops and goes back to horrible. I'm calling BS on the 70,000. If there are three people in this bar. There's probably 70,000 in Lexington.

Yeah, that's a lie. And I also don't like Team Mobile going around bragging. Why not? Our service is just fine. We're not the ones that did it. Okay, Jay Williams. I didn't hear him last night. We were in here at the restaurant.

I could hear him through some of it. He's got to stop, man. What was he saying? And I've always liked Jay Williams. in law school when he was there. And he dated a woman I knew. And so I didn't know him well, but I knew him enough to say hello. And then later in life, you know, he was on my podcast a couple times.

He found my wallet at the John Caliperi Fantasy Camp. He turned it. He did find your wallet. I forgot about that. But what is, why is he choosing to die on this Caitlin Clark is not great? Did he say on it again last night? Yes, he argued it over and over. And he kept saying, I stick by the point.

He needs to stop that because he's... Why? Why would you choose Shannon that to be your thing? The hill he's going to die on. I don't understand it. Yeah, he says because she doesn't win a title. Well, she's at Iowa. There's a lot of great players that haven't won a title in their career.

In college basketball, you can't have that standard in college. No. Because guys, men and women can't help who they're on the team with. We were talking about it last night. I said, Larry Bird didn't win a title. He's not a... Well, we talked about just going through the college basketball stars. Larry Bird, David Robinson was like insane, but he was at Navy.

He's not going to win a title at Navy. He can't help that. Kevin Durant had one of the best freshman seasons ever, but he, you know, what are you going to do? Zion was great. John Wall was great. Like, you know, what... We could... We could rat off.

I could sit here and give you a meal. Steph Curry was great, but he was at David. Was he going to win a title at Davidson? Blaine Wade. I mean, we could go on and on and on. Yeah, I don't get that, that you have to win a title. You don't. You don't.

To be considered one of the greatest of all time, you do not have to win a title. I don't know what he's doing. What a weird way to decide this is going to be what my thing is. He's not a multiple takes. I mean, that's not his only one. He said Kentucky, the Dallas Cowboys of College basketball. That was dumb. He said DJ Wagner was going to transfer to Louisville at one point.

Yeah, he did. I don't get it. I mean, if he's obviously trying to be that, you know, in the media right now, it's the trendy thing to give these, you know, hot topic, hot takes on topics. Is he trying to do that just to fit in with Stephen A, greenie and everyone? The Kail-L-Card thing makes the least sense to me. Yeah, I agree. The first time he said it, he was on college game day.

And now this time he's on an LSU-Kentucky basketball game. And he said it again last night? No, he didn't just say it, Channing. Didn't they talk about it for a last night? Like 10 minutes? Yeah, yeah. Like they were arguing the guy was trying. You could tell Shannon the dude was trying to like give him an out.

Right. You know, he was like, now let me, you don't really mean that, do you? And he was like, yes. Well, didn't the other guy bring it up, though? Like, it was almost like it was produced or something. Yeah. Angel Reese was at the game and I guess he had shot basketball with Angel. That's right.

And so I think that's how it came up. Did he call her great? Yes, because she won. She won a title. Oh, so, okay. But she was, she's got a better team. Like, she's got more people on their team. I don't know.

To me, I don't want to be the guy. Just as a general rule, I don't want to be the dude whose thing is the leading women's score of all times. She wasn't very good. Jamie, like, that's not what I want. I don't want to be that guy. Nobody agrees with that take anyway. I mean, it's, yeah. So who's up first?

Blake. Blake, go ahead, Blake. Hey, guys. Have you ever seen the movie White Noise or heard about it? I have not. So it was the movie with Adam Driver, and it was filmed in East Palestine, Ohio, and then about six months later after the movie was released. Oh, yeah, that's at that train wreck.

Yeah. It was the exact same plot, and it was actually filmed in East Palestine. So it's like hopefully it's not, so it's hopefully not the same kind of situation where we're getting predictive programming from Obama, right? So we'll see. What are you doing? Right. This is all...

Old man, but the old man, Obama. He's got to watch out for Obama, Shannon. He's not president anymore. He's looking for saying... He's getting bored and he's making movies and solar flare and I know you got to watch out. Right. And then, I think the Jay Williams thing, the guy kept on,

the commentator kept on harping on it. And he's like, I feel like you're putting me in a position here. So I think he was trying not to do it. Oh, so maybe I missed it. I appreciate the call. So you're saying Shannon, he was, Jay Williams was like, so he was pushing Jay Williams. It almost felt like somebody like maybe in a truck outside,

the producer was saying, hey, ask him about this, you know, and sort of probing him. If I'm him, I don't want to be the guy who that's the thing he's known for. And you know what? It was as surprising to me was that Kim Mulkey, who's one of the greatest women's coaches ever threw some shade at her saying, you know, Well, Kim Mulkey seems like just a mean woman, though.

I mean, like, she's just saying that because that's their... I don't understand these grown-ups. Cheryl Swoops did the same thing. Yeah, right. Why are these grown-ups diminishing this girl? Exactly. You should be promoting your sport. She is the best thing to happen to college basketball.

When you combine her with Angel Reese and with what Don Staley does at South Carolina and Paige Beckers at Yukon. There's probably never been a better time for women's basketball right now. Why would you diminish each other? Yeah. Like, why would you sit there and go? We have the women's tournament this year that might be one of the most highly anticipated of all time.

Yep. Why are we sitting here throwing shade in each other? I totally agree. They should be promoting it and helping the sport catch on. If you had a final four of South Carolina, Yukon, LSU at Iowa. Everybody would watch it. Yeah. So why are you like trying to?

I don't understand that. Who's next? Joe. Joe, go ahead, Joe. I got a thought experiment question for you regarding the phone, but I will say I hate Jay Will. I usually like Dave Pash. Like Dave Pash kept forcing this thing, and Jay Will twice he was like, I don't know why we're talking about this. Okay, to be fair to Jay Williams, I didn't realize that that was happening because I could only hear what was happening at the bar and I could only hear pieces of it.

So maybe it wasn't him that wanted to bring it up. But go ahead. It's tough to hear in the bar. The thought experiment, let's say this was some sort of hack about promoting that movie. Let's say the movie came out last week and not two years ago, whatever. And after the show, you got a message on your phone that says, if you watch this movie, you get your phone and your data back. Oh, I'm watching. How many hours or days do you wait before you watch the movie?

I do it that night. I mean, listen. Have a good one. I appreciate the call. I'm reading a book right now. I want to give you the name of it because I do I've only read like 20 pages but I can already tell it's really good. Yeah. It was named one of the best books of the year and so that's why I bought it.

And I actually think this is a book that whether you're like right wing or left wing, you'll be pretty, I think you'll like it. All right. And there's not a lot of those books that are political that I could say that about. It's called Bottoms Up and the Devil laughs, a journey through the deep state. And we now hear Deep State to mean like, you know, COVID vaccine and Joe Rogan and all that. This is about the way we give up our privacy. You know how we've talked about that a lot, Shannon, on this show, how we just voluntarily give up. This is about that.

This book is about like the ways in which there's apparently a facility out in Utah where basically the government holds all of our information. It's just, and this woman who wrote it went to the facility. And it follows a woman. I think her name was like reality winner that tried to release some stuff about and then ended up in prison. I haven't gotten to all that part. But it's really fascinating what I've read so far. I'm only 20 pages here. But I would, I think everybody from what I've seen would like it.

And it's about this kind of thing how we're at the mercy of one hack and like we all run around with like a chicken with our heads cut off and don't know what to do. I know I may be in the minority in this. I don't want to know. No, I don't either. Yeah. I'm with you. Like, one day we're going to look back and say, we gave up all of our privacy and, like, it's a problem. Yeah.

But, Shannon, I think now you're just like, well, don't tell me. It's already out there. It's already there. Yeah. But we do it all the time. You click a button, and they have everything on your phone. Yeah. You know.

So what you're going to do that? I mean, TikTok, if you sign up for TikTok, like, there's a lot of credible reports that the Chinese government now has all your stuff. Like, they have my butt picture. I don't know what they're going to do with it. Apparently on Bond that Bridge Facebook group. But, by the way, you got to stop posting pictures of me on that Bond that bridge. He's posting all these pictures. Shannon, I'm going to get him back.

I got some pictures of him. He's doing the same thing to me. I don't know what you guys are talking about. I'd watch it if I were you. He's using this just to get back at you and I for some reason because he's got to be on. Facebook. That's probably what it is. Cornbreadhempt.com, promo code KSR.

Some of our customers are experiencing wireless service interruptions this morning. We are working urgently to restore service. We encourage them to use Wi-Fi currently instead. Well, thanks a lot. That was really helpful. Yeah, we already knew that. I think if you read between the lines, you're saying if it was a solar flare, everything where we turned back to normal.

It was not a solar flare. Oh, it wasn't a solar flare. Not a solar flare. Well, now is the thing a hack? Is that the leading cause? The fact that they won't say what it is makes me think it's something they don't want you. until it's fixed, which makes me think it's a hack. Every time we lost power, when we were young,

my parents or my grandma always thought, well, squirrel got in the transmitter. You think that's what, you think it's a. Maybe that's what happened. Squirrel got into the AT&T transmitter. A T&T transmitter. What does that even mean? Well, it goes in there and then it shorts everything out. I'm surprised you didn't become a scientist.

Yeah. In your days. 859-280-2287. I just want to say one thing. I was at the radio station last night, Shannon, and somebody had sent Deanne of Don and Deanne fame here in Lexington. Deanne Stevens. Deanne Stevens.

They had sent her a Skyline jacket. Skyline sent her a Skyline-like starter jacket. It was the coolest thing I've ever seen. And I just want to know, what do I have to do to get Skynn day? I guarantee you I eat Skyline more than DeAnne. And you promote the heck out of it. And I love it. They've never paid me a cent in endorsement.

And I still promote it. Went there on Valentine's Day. Wow. I feel a lie. And then I get online, this woman I follow that's a Reds fan, she has a Reds skyline jacket. They're just rubbing it in your face now. So they're just sending, I think Shannon, all these influencers skyline jackets. You need one.

I'd like to influence. You need one. It's National Chili Day today. Exactly. That's why they sent it. But you didn't get it. Exactly. So Skyline.

I'm here. Hello. I'm always been a fan. I love the cheese, the hot sauce. Don't make me go to Gold Star. I bet they'll give you a jacket. Don't make me do that, Skyline. Who's next?

Adam. Adam. Adam. Hello, Matt. It's been a while. I was wondering if I have two things, but I was wondering if you guys were on a family feud and did a, I don't know, let's say y'all played against,

would you rather play Louisville or Tennessee radio and who would play Fast Money. I would first of all take either one of them. The problem with Louisville Radio is I know a couple of those guys are smart. Tennessee, come on. What's your guy's name? Basilio. Basilio. And we'll play Tennessee.

We'll win. Bob Kessling's their play-by-play guy. Yeah, I appreciate the call. Speaking of that, Eli Gold's stopping at Alabama. He is. He's announcing he's stepping down. Stepping down with Sabin. Been doing it.

How long? 50 years? As long as I've been around, he has been the voice of Alabama. Used to be the voice of NASCAR before that. Stepping down. That's a legend. That might be. I think that's like the last of those guys.

You know, the other day, I thought about that when you said that Mitch Barnhart, Mark Stoops and John Caliperi are the longest tenured play-by-play guy, I mean, in their field in the SEC, Tom, Tom, Mitch may now be. Might be like, if Eli Gold goes, that may be right. Because Eli has been doing it since Bayer Bryant. Yeah. So stepping down, great career. I remember watching him on TNN on the Nashville Network NASCAR broadcast.

He's got a NASCAR voice, doesn't he? Yes, that's exactly right. I want to go back second to the game. Do you think we should have gotten more shots in the second half for Reeves? Only took two shots in the last 17 minutes. Like you said, they took him out when he picked up his third foul, and when he came back, he just didn't seem to be as aggressive offensively as he was in the first half. maybe the LSU did something differently defensively when he came back in

but it just didn't seem like he was as aggressive on the offensive end looking for his shot we had way too many guys ball watching y'all Shepard got Shepard had a back breaking three where he was ball watching yeah that kid is you know he got five steals last now so now he's at the fifth on the steel steals list for a season and while that's awesome the price is he goes for it and gives wide open 30 yeah and that's the price and I don't know if or not the stats down, but he is playing for the steel on drives. And if he gets a steel, that's great. But then he gives up open looks.

And then on that one play where LSU took the lead, 7269, Hugo was ball watching and let that guy slip out to the three-point line, the big tall lefty dude, and then he hit a three, which I thought was the backbreaker. We ended up coming back and taking the lead, but he left him open. I really didn't want that three to beat his guy. He was stopped.

I mean, like, Reeves was on him. A doo was there to double. Hugo didn't need to be there. Defensively, they just continue all season to make mistakes just like that. Ball watching out of place, and that hasn't been fixed yet. You know, again, we gave up 48, but they missed six layups. They could have scored 60 easy. Easy.

I mean, they missed layup. after they missed so many shots at the rim and missed a bunch of free throws yeah i mean it could have been a lot worse in that second half who's next let's go to carter carter how are you carter i am doing well um i uh notice in the second half you talked about reeves reeves and shepherd combined for two for eight in the second half um which i just feel like from those guys from what we've seen them this year we need way more uh just shot attempts from them but i mean at the end of the day Reeves, Reed, Rob, and Fierro, I don't know how they're not playing

35 minutes a game each, and then just spelling them with the other guys. Those are the guys that have been scoring and spurts are just putting in the effort, and I feel like that's the plan to win. I don't disagree with you. Cal's got too many players. I think when you give Cal, I appreciate you give Cal too many players,

he just, he's got too much. It's like having too many cooking ingredients, and so you just make a smorgasbord. Because there's no rhyme or reason to who he plays. You know what I mean? It's just on the whims of the moment. At one point, I think if you go back and look, the lineup that killed us was from like the nine-minute mark

to the six-minute mark when we had Reeves and Shepard on the bench and we were playing Dillingham, Wagner, Adieu, Edwards, and like, Burks or whatever, or Bradshaw. Excuse me. We couldn't score. That was not the way to go. We'll take a break. Come back.
