Welcome to Hour 2 of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now, here's Matt Jones. All right, we're back. Hour 2. Pardon my takeover, Kentucky Sports Radio. We had Rick Petino on, Hour 1. We patted ourselves on the back, hour 1. Charlene almost cried hour one but we're here for hour two we're going to take some more calls we're going to talk some more Kentucky hoops

when talking about the NBA draft last night I'm happy for Reed Shepherd I'm very happy for Reed Shepherd when do you I wanted Reed Shepherd in D.C. Yeah when do you think Reed Shepherd because I think the last piece of Reed Shepard's game is he's got to get like the Euro guy haircut

okay yeah because the haircut listen I'm not going to besmirch Reed shepherd but if I were I'd say he looked like a Lego so he needs to step up the haircut game for sure he looked like Daniel Jones's little brothers and I need to see him looking more like the

bad influence friend of Daniel Jones maybe get an earring I mean Duke say what you want about Duke but their players are very good at recreating their style yeah once they get out of the program yeah Kyle Singler remember you got like that haircut JJ Reddick has obviously gotten all the tattoos and makes you give

you a little edge you kind of say yourself wait did this guy go to Duke or is he from Lithuanian You need that. I want to see Reed Shepard with maybe some endorsement deals from No Fear, Monster Energy, Fox Racing, maybe get an earring, a little chain around the neck. I like that. I want to see him looking like 10% more methed out in the NBA. I think he's, I think he'll fit in well in Houston.

I really did want him for the Wizards as we try to rebuild. But I think they got a good player. Yeah, yeah. And he went a lot higher than Dalton Connect. Yeah. So pat yourselves on the back for that. That's a win. That's a win over Tennessee.

see. Okay, let's get some calls. Shannon, who you got? We got Ryan. Ryan, what's going on? How much? So just listen to Coach Petino there. Is it safe to say that Coach Pope's got a little aura to him? Oh, he might have aura. He might have your quarterback has aura.

I know that. But Pope, yeah, listen, the Pope has aura. I've read the New Testament. I think Mark Pope's... Hank would know nothing about it. No, no, nothing about it. I think Mark Pope's aura comes in the fact that Coach Petino kind of touched on it, but the humility and knowing who he is,

because he's a little bit of a dork at times. But if you own that you're a dork, you can have dork aura. It's the people who are like, you know, you may be dorky and they're like, oh, no, I'm not that. That famous video when he ripped off his suit and started chanting, that one was painful, but it's kind of a funny video. and he knows like I'm bleeding into the fact that I'm not the coolest guy. So yeah, I would say he's got aura.

It's all about being confident in yourself, whatever that is. I think Matthew McConaughey taught us that there's a difference between a nerd and a dork. I think he might be more of a nerd. I think Mark Polt might be a nerd, but a self-confident nerd. Yeah. Which is great. Yeah, I agree. Thanks for call, guys.

All right. Thank you. Thank you for listening. I'm not going to say the callers are messing up, but no one has told us that we know ball yet. Yeah, that's true. So I would actually, I would like either a pat on the back from the callers, not that we're going to pat ourselves on the back, but. You would never.

Either a pat on the back or somebody that just absolutely despises us. But I think we might have turned a corner with Kentucky fans today. Today is a big day. We brought, we brought Petino back to the table. And he sounds like he's all on board. So you guys, I don't know, maybe thank us for getting Coach Petino back on. I would say Nobel Peace Prize is definitely in the running now. It's not a zero percent chance after today.

No, but this is like solving the Israeli-Palestinian. conference what we've done today. Not to pat ourselves on the back. Not to pat ourselves on the back. Okay, who are we got next? Kentucky Brother. Kentucky Brother. What's up, man? Hey, how y'all doing today? Good. You got something you want to say to us before you ask a question? Yeah, I believe you could have asked a thousand different Kentucky fans who the special guest would have been, and I don't think a single one would have come up with Rick P. Yeah. It was, it was good. But did you have something you wanted to say to us specifically about us knowing Ball? Oh, yes. So I will admit, if you know ball, if you are willing to break down your water aerobics from this past weekend.

Oh. Okay. Okay. Yeah, we did compete in the beer games on Tuesday. We got beat up in a pool. But it happens. You know what? We got beat up in a pool.

That's just what our whole crew got beat up in the pool. It's horseplay. Yeah. There was a significant amount of horseplay involved this weekend. And after I got out, I felt kind of cool. I had scratches all over my back. And it looked like I had been engaging in some extracurricular activities. But it turns out, no, it's just from getting beaten up by Taylor Luan.

Yeah. And you know what it was, too? It was a great bonding moment for us as a crew because I was getting assaulted by Taylor Luan. PFT came to my defense. Then Max was getting assaulted. I came to his defense. So it was kind of basically everyone except Hank did their part trying to defend our brothers who were close to drowning it many times. Well, Hank's not used to come into defensive programs that are losing.

Yeah, that's true. Frontrunner Hank is what they're calling them. There is that one picture where Taylor has Max in a chokehold. I have Taylor in a chokehold. PFT is jumping on Taylor's back. And Hank is just on the other side of the pool watching. He's lounging. He's soaking in the rays, having a good time.

He's like, why isn't a famous coach pouring beer on my head right now? I'm not used to all this losing. Yes, yes. All right. Well, thanks for calling unless you have something else. What's going on in Kentucky right now? What's the butts? I mean, now the baseball is over,

everybody's going into football mode. Got a new OC this year, new quarterback. So some people are thinking it's going to be a seven-win season. Some people are thinking it's going to be a 10-wins season. I think it's a bit of a stretch. But, you know, we like to be optimistic here every year and hopefully not be let down again. What do you think about your quarterback?

Because all I know about the guy is just the picture that I've seen of him, and he looks like a winner. I think that picture, from what I can tell, that's just who he is like he's a winner i mean what more can you say like he he definitely fits this state to say the least yeah yeah i want a quarterback showing up for practice with with a deer on the hood of his car yeah i agree that's a man that can win you football games yes um all right well thanks to the call man we appreciate you calling in yep thank you guys by the way we still need uh our guy uh tj he'll make you pay to call in if he can uh all right who we got next shannon all right

let's go to ben ben what's up man Hey, what's up, guys? Doing good. You got anything you want to say to us, Ben? Yeah, I just wanted to say congratulations for calling the firing of Coach Cal. Oh, okay, yeah, okay, that's close. Would you say we know ball? Yeah, that was my second point.

You guys definitely know ball. Oh, thank you. Thank you for it. That's a great second point, Ben. So what do you want to talk about, Ben? Since you guys, no ball, how many more wins will Louisville have the Kentucky and basketball with their new coaches here? Oh, boom.

So we got a Louisville fan on the phone. Oh, infiltrated. I think that, I think Kentucky's already had one Louisville Carter on. You had Pacino on. No, he said that he much preferred his time at Kentucky than Louisville. He called it Camelot. Yeah. Kentucky was his Camelot.

I know, but he won a national championship at post school. No, they took that one away at Louisville. You don't have a national championship. You don't know ball because that banner came down. Kentucky's Camelot, Louisville's Camelot. Yeah, if you can point to me to a banner, of Louisville's championship, then I will say, you know what? I'm wrong.

Ben, you're right, but can you do that? It's somewhere. I'd like for you to admit that you don't know ball. Say it. I can't do that. It's a hard thing for a man to admit. Listen, at some point in your life, you're going to be comfortable coming out as a guy that doesn't know ball.

Right now you're not ready for that, so we're not going to pressure you, but just know that when you do, we'll accept you just the way you are. This is the month, though, if you're ever going to come out and say you don't know ball. this is the month you could do it. I got a couple of days left to think about that. Okay, all right, perfect, perfect, perfect. All right, who do we got next? We got Jack on the line, Jack from Oakland.

Hey, Jack, what's up, Jack? Jack, what's going on? Hey, guys, how you doing? How are you doing? We're good, we're good. So, Jack, we've been taking a little victory lap today because we called Coach Cowell's firing eight years ago, and he ended up getting fired.

So, you know, we know ball. It all kind of came to a head when they played in the tournament this year. I don't know. Did you catch the game? I caught a little bit of it. I caught a little bit. Yeah. So basically what happened was Cal has a great team and they go up against Oakland.

And there's a guy on the other side, Jack Golky, who they just didn't guard. I don't know if you saw that at all, this guy. Like, if you don't ball at all, like you would have guarded. a guy like Jack Golky, right? I mean, yeah, like, you would think that a guy like me or him that's really just stroking it like that, they would pick him up full pretty much. Yeah. During the second half, were you surprised that they were still letting Jack Golky get these

open looks? Yeah, it was kind of like, like I said, pick him up full, like deny every catch and just make it tough for him. Like, don't let them catch the ball. Don't let him get a shot up because, you know, the result is going to come from that. Yeah, I mean, anybody that watched that who knows Ball knew that you should guard Jack Golky. And, you know, at this point, me and Big Cat mentioned in the first hour, but Jack Golky kind of could be responsible for the second coming of Kentucky, or I guess the third coming of Kentucky when they returned to glory in the next five, ten years. Do you think that Jack Golky should be present at whatever Kentucky's next banner ceremony is because he was the man that inspired Kentucky to make a change?

I think they should definitely invite them. I hope he gets a warm welcome when they do bring him out and maybe even throw them some of that collective money. Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. I like that. And then if there's like maybe two radio hosts that inspired Jack Golky to attend that ceremony, they should probably get a cut of that NIL money too, right?

Yeah, I think it should probably be split three ways evenly, I would think, you know. Yeah. So, Jack, at what point during that game did you know you're on fire? man it was it was early i was early i saw that green light and i just started gunning yeah yeah yeah have you gone back and do you watch the highlights of that game uh i've definitely rewatched the game a couple times i'd be lying if i said i hadn't it's a lot of fun have you have you had a moment since where you're like they really just didn't want to guard me at all I think, I mean, I don't know, after the game, I just kind of rewatched it.

And I was like, there were definitely some open looks I had. But at the same time, like, I think they were, they were definitely trying. Like, it was, it wasn't like they were just out there walking around, you know. That actually hurts more because that means you were just better than them. That's fact. Something like that. Hey, Jack, are we, I know the answer is probably no, but like, maybe. Is there a chance your name gets called today?

man i got my fingers crossed i'm not expecting it but that would be a great surprise for sure well i mean you can look at kentucky there's guys that are coming off the bench at kentucky that are getting drafted pretty high you came off the bench and i think that the formula is right there you might be picked in the second round i'm rooting for you man and if you don't get drafted uh i i'm assuming that there's going to be a team that at least invites you in for a look right yeah uh that's the plan right now uh it'll kind of all shake out today and tomorrow honestly and and I'll kind of figure out where I'm going to be headed hopefully for Summer League and maybe I'll see you guys out there. Yeah, absolutely.

And Jack, one last thing because I think maybe some listeners right now are like, this is a prank. This isn't actually Jack Colkey. Can you explain to us the set of your favorite three against Kentucky that you hit in the first round of the tournament? Yes, sir. So favorite set, we ran against Kentucky first round of the tournament. The first one I made is called UCLA, a side elevator screen. sprint out towards our bench and hit a fadeaway three. I love it.

You know ball. You're no ball. And there's a lot of people in Kentucky that are listening right now. And I hope that maybe you'd take the time to just say, I'm sorry for beating him so badly. Yeah, I'd just like to apologize that they got their hopes up. I'm not going to apologize for winning. But I know there's a lot of final fours in the brackets and champions in the brackets.

So I'd like to apologize for that. Okay. Big man. All right. Well, Jack, thanks so much for calling. in. You know we're big fans of you and good luck with wherever your next spot is for Summer League.

Yes, I appreciate you guys for having me. Take care. See ya. Thanks, Jack. That was Jack Galkie. Jack from Oakland. Personal friend of ours. Cool guy. I think we deserve that one after getting Rip Petino on. Yeah, we can do know. Well, this is the danger that you run into right now. Me and Big Cat, we feel like we can do a heat check.

Yeah, we should have stopped after an hour. We should have walked off and been like, look, we finally repaired our relationship with Big Blue Nation. Instead, we stuck around and that's when we start to just be like, hey, we can do anything. It is an abusive relationship that we're in. We just took you out to the nicest dinner that you've ever had at the best Italian restaurant in town. And then right afterwards, we just, we go ahead and cheat on you again. Yeah. All right, we're going to take a break. When we come

back, we'll take some more calls. We have Sam Decker and Frank Kaminsky coming up. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind. Highlights are trending. Opinions are flying. And nobody's telling you exactly what happens. That's where Sports Slice comes in. I'm Timbo. Every episode we're cutting through the noise. Breaking down the plays, the controversies, and the stories behind the headlines. We go straight to the source, the athletes themselves. Their locker room stories, their reactions, the stuff nobody gets to hear.

The laughs, the drama, the triumphs, the moments that never make the highlight real. From viral moments to historic games, from buzzer-beaters to controversial calls, we break it down, give you context, and ask the questions everybody wants answered.

And in recognition of mental health awareness month, I'm bringing over a decade of my own experience in the mental health field and conversations with so many incredible guests.

I'm talking. Trip Fontaine, Ryan Clark. Sometimes when we're in the pursuit of the thing, we get so wrapped up in the chase that we don't realize that we are in possession of the thing. And we're still chasing it. And we don't know when we've done enough. Because people scoreboard watch. Life becomes about wins and losses. Steve Burns, Dustin Ross, because you find it important to be a good person while you hear on earth.

Are you a good person because you're afraid? Because that's two different intentions, bro. Absolutely. And that's two different levels of trust. I want you to just really be a good person. Join me, Keer Gaines, as we have real conversations about healing, growth, fatherhood, pressure, and purpose

on my new podcast, Learn the Hard Way. Open your free iHeartRadio app. Search, learn the hard way, and listen now. Life throws hurdles big and small. The question is, how do you conquer them? On hurdle with Emily Abadi, we sit down with the most inspiring women in sports and wellness,

professional athletes, coaches, and Olympic champions to talk about the challenges that shaped them and the mindset that keeps them going. From the WNBA standout Kate Martin and rising hockey star Layla Edwards. If a boy can do it, I don't see why a girl can't. Like, I've never understood that. Like, it didn't make sense in my brain. It's hard to be in spaces that no one looks like you, but don't ever feel like you don't feel like you don't feel like.

Don't let that be the reason you don't do it. An Olympic champs Gabby Thomas and Katie Ledecki. The ability to show a gold medal to someone and have their face like, up and smile. That means the world to me. And that's what motivates me to win more gold medals. At our level, at this scale, like being able to fail in front of the entire world. Like, I can do anything. I can, like, I can do anything. Because resilience isn't just about winning. It's about showing up, even when it's hard. Listen to Hurtle with Emily Abadi on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's

Sports. Jacob Kingston grew up in an isolated polygamous sect. We were God's chosen kingdom on earth. He felt destined for greatness. So when a swaggering Armenian businessman catapults Jacob into an extraordinary world, he doesn't look back. Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, meeting the president of Turkey.

I'm Michelle McPhee, and this is one of the most shocking criminal conspiracies I've ever come across. When Jacob met Levin this went to a billion dollar fraud. But with two kings from entirely different worlds, just how long can their empire survive? The largest tax investigation in American history. You need to tell me what you know. Is somebody coming after me? Jacob told Levan, you're ruining my life. Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth.

Listen to Superhuman on the I-Hard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up Kentucky? We're back. I actually want to say that I think having Jack from Oakland on was actually a positive for BBN because he basically was like he admitted what we all knew. He knew he was hot. And the only person in that building that didn't know he was hot was Coach Cal.

Yeah. So we're just further. That was actually a great call by us. Yeah, Jack Golky, great caller. He actually is just a listener of the show. Yeah. He did not know that we were hosting, but he just decided. I had to call in.

Yeah. I do have a bit of good news for Kentucky. Okay. This was in the news this morning. This is huge, actually. Texas Roadhouse has agreed to sell their roles in Kentucky Walmarts. Wow. That's a big dub for Kentucky.

Delicious rolls from Texas. Oh, my gosh. That's Shane's favorite restaurant. That graphics guy. I wouldn't be shocked if this, you know, when they're like, oh, there's been, you know, an influx of people moving from California to Texas. Matt Jones actually did just move to California. I would imagine there's going to be some people moving to Kentucky just for these roles.

Just for the rolls. I would do it. It's good for recruiting. Yeah, great for recruiting. Okay, Shannon, we got another call? We do. Yeah, let's go to Cooper. Cooper, what's up, man?

You know, big cat. What's going on? I'm disappointed in you at the beer Olympics. Oh, why? Well, you did not. You got disqualified. Well, I got assaulted by David Baccount. Tiari, who's an NFL offensive lineman, he smacked me in the back and I spit up like a baby.

What was I supposed to do? We can call it that. Yeah. We can call it that. Listen, there's this thing that happens to every man, and I've hit that point. I'm washed. I'm completely, completely washed. And I have no shame in being a guy who throws up when he drinks too much.

I always do bounce back. I'm not a guy who throws up and then goes to sleep. I kept on partying for the rest of the day. but yeah, I'm a washed 39-year-old, and there's nothing, father time comes for all of us. True. I have an idea for the Beer Olympics. I think, like, the U.S. Open, we should have a qualifier for people to get in. I don't know about that. That's, there were a lot of big men at Beer Olympics yesterday. And young. Young, big men, strapping young men.

I think when you see a guy as big as some of those guys, you're like, oh, they're in their mid-30s. we were competing against like two guys who got drafted this year who were both 300 pounds freak athletes, 22 years old, and we got no shot. Listen, we're old, okay? We were, maybe if we were competing in our early 20s, we would have been able to hang. But the fact that we competed at all in those allergies

with the trees that were out there, the pollen count was astronomical when we were competing. And some of us may have sneezed or blown their nose when David Bacchiari rubbed their back. Some of us may have not been able to complete the three-beard chug without having allergies. Yeah. But it's, you know, it's the season for that.

And I'm not, you know what? I'm not going to say sorry for party. No. And Cooper, let me ask your question. You a golf fan? Oh, I love golf. You love golf. Okay.

This iteration of Tiger Woods, wouldn't you say, even though he's not competitive for majors, it's great to see him out there? Oh, I'd love to see him out there, but I love to see Brex and Gi Shambot more. Okay, but I'm just saying, let's stick on Tiger for a second. PFT and I are Tiger Woods.

We're, listen, we need a cart. We probably can't play all 18 full weekend, but we're there and we're giving it our best. So let's applaud that, right? And we made the cut. Yeah. We actually made the cut. No spoilers. No spoilers, but we made the cut.

So that's what everyone's rooting for. You got to see Big Cat and PFT on Sunday. Right, right. You never know when you get to see that again. So you got to count your blessings. Oh, I agree. I just say, I expected more out of you. Maybe you should do like a.

I think you should do like a chug off against like Mooby or Smelly. Did you not see my chug? I chugged in 8.19 seconds. I should have, I actually said it when it happened. I turned to everyone. I was like, I need to leave right now because that's the peak of what I can do.

And it was all downhill from there. Yeah. You're also going just based off clips right now. So you're the guy that watches highlights on YouTube. Or you catch SportsCenter for a little bit. You read the box score. You think you know what happened in the entire tournament. The fact of the matter is there's a lot of stuff that me and Big Cat do that doesn't

show up in the box score. That's going to make a difference for our team. Yeah. All right. Well, Cooper, thanks for the call. We're going to take our next call. It is our guy, T.J. Smith, call T.J. He'll make you pay. Sorry. TJ, our lawyer. How you doing? What's up, guys? Good morning to you. It's great to talk to you. Yeah. Did you want to say anything to us about being ball knowers before you, uh, we get into this? I'd just like to know how you guys are such better handicappers than I am for one thing. I mean, you know. Yeah, that's probably not the case.

You got to kill it. Yeah. TJ, we wanted you on your great sponsor Kentucky Sports Radio. We want to sue our producer, Hank, and we need to figure out if we have a case against him. Well, lay out the elements of the case for me. Okay. So we show up every. every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday night to record a podcast.

And our producer, he likes to go on vacation. He likes to take fancy trips and meet his sports heroes. For example, last week he was hanging out with Tom Brady, and then he was hanging out with the entire Boston Celtics team and coach Joe Missoula. And so he's contributing to the podcast in ways where he's not even present doing the podcast. When he shows up for the podcast and he doesn't have one of these all-time life experiences, all he does is make our jobs more difficult. Can we sue him for harassment?

I think, personally, you ought to give the guy a trophy for being able to get audiences with all these great people and maybe showcase his talents on the show a little more. This is backfiring on us. It is. But when he's on the show, it's when he's off the show, he's great. And he's doing all these experiences. When he's on the show, he's just a big wet blanket.

Oh, well. I mean, you can't have a guy like that doing that to you. But, you know, you might have called the only lawyer in the world that's an economist, too. So figure out the benefits versus the detriment that he brings to your show. I'm going to say he brings a lot more than you think. Because the behind the scenes guys, I mean, look at Shannon, the dude. He's a producer. He's just behind the scenes guy. He makes this show. He makes KSR what is.

Has Hank talked to you, T.J.? It feels like Hank has had a conversation with you before we talked to you, and you've been compromised. I couldn't pick Hank out of a one-man lineup. Hey, Shannon, let me ask you a question. You're working right now, right? You're running the board. You're on the phones? Yeah.

Okay, so that's something that Hank doesn't do. As a producer, Hank shows up. He sits on the couch, and then he just gets mad at us. Yeah, I mean, it doesn't tell you much of a producer. to me. There's a little bit of difference between a podcast and a full-blown radio show five days a week for two great hours for all of our great KSR friends. Yeah,

podcast is harder. I agree, T.J. You're smart. So, in a podcast, you can't always, in a podcast,

you can't always reach out to some basketball biddy to tell us how the coach ought to be coaching. But in this two-hour show, they're lined up 40 deep to tell you what's wrong with our coaches. That's very true. Hey, can you give our good friend Bob Bafford any legal advice about approaching Churchill Downs?

Emily Abadi, we sit down with the most inspiring women in sports and wellness, professional athletes, coaches, and Olympic champions to talk about the challenges that shaped them and the mindset that keeps them going. From the WNBA standout Kate Martin and rising hockey star Layla Edwards. If a boy can do it, I don't see why a girl can't. Like, I've never understood that.

Like, it didn't make sense in my brain. It's hard to be in spaces that no one looks like you, but don't ever feel like you don't belong. Don't let that be the reason you don't do it. An Olympic champs, Gabby Thomas, and Katie Ladeke. The ability to show a gold medal to someone and have their face light up and smile, that means the world to me.

And that's what motivates me to, win more gold medals. At our level, at this scale, like being able to fail in front of the entire world. Like, I can do anything. I can do anything. Because resilience isn't just about winning.

It's about showing up, even when it's hard. Listen to Hurtle with Emily Abadi on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHart Women's Sports.

Jacob Kingston grew up in an isolated polygamous sect. We were God's chosen kingdom on earth. He felt destined for greatness. So when a swaggering Armenian businessman catapults Jacob into an extraordinary world, he doesn't look back. Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, meeting the president of Turkey. I'm Michelle McPhee, and this is one of the most shocking criminal conspiracies I've ever come across. When Jacob met Levant this plant to a billion dollar fraud. But with two kings from entirely,

different worlds, just how long can their empire survive? The largest tax investigation in American history. You need to tell me what you know. Is somebody coming after me? Jacob told Levan, you're ruining my life. Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

There's not a word that I need to drop coming up, though. I know there's one in this song. I just don't know where it's at. Yeah, there is. The poop has hit the fan. We'll just say poop really loud. Can you play some dire straits next? Yeah, we can do that.

Dyer streets. always wanted to be an FM, like just a music DJ. That's what I do in the afternoons, man. You can come on with me anytime. I would love that. Yeah. We'll rock, let's talk. Coming up, this afternoon on Kentucky Sports Radio.

You got it down, man. You got the voice and everything for it. Give us a call. We got it. We'll get some other prize closet for a call or have a day. Shannon, by the way, thank you to Shannon. He always is so helpful when Matt decides to gallivance around Cuba. He's in the French Riviera, actually.

He's a French Riviera. He's forgotten what it is to be BBN. Or no, we're BBC. We're BBC. This is BBC Radio. Big blue cat, big blue commenter. Shannon, though, is always super helpful for us and make sure this goes off without a hitch. But, Shannon, you have a couple reads you got to do.

Yeah, we'll knock one out here. Do you guys dabble in CBD products? I do. Yeah. All right. Well, this segment is sponsored by cornbread hemp, and they want you to know that at this very moment, prohibition groups are trying to reverse the 2018 farm bill that made hemp legal, which means recriminalizing a plant that we all depend on for a better quality of life.

But the good news is you can still help. There's still time to act. You can go to cornbread hemp. com slash KSR. You can click on the link to contact your members of Congress to tell them very politely to keep cornbread hemp legal. That's cornbread hemp.com slash KSR to keep cornbread hemp legal paid for by cornbread hemp. Back to you guys. I love it.

Okay, so do we have any other, do we have calls? Yeah, the phones are loaded. Before we get to this first caller, I do want to apologize. I may have slandered or libeled our producer, Henry Lockwood, saying that he doesn't work at all. Yeah. He is hard at work right now as we speak. He is golfing.

He's doing a live stream of him golfing. So Hank is working very diligently at this very moment golfing. So I apologize for that. Yeah, he's, whenever we don't have him under, like, if he gets out of our line of site. He basically picks up a golf club. Yeah. That's how it works. He's like, so I've got a puppy and I've been trying to teach my puppy Blake what he is and isn't allowed to

chew. And I found that if I'm not directly looking at him or if he's not in his crate, he's going to be getting into something that he should not be getting into chewing on shoes. That's what Hank is like with us around. Correct. Correct. Okay, let's go to the next caller. All right, let's go to Cliff. Cliff, what's up?

What's up, guys? So I'm a little, you guys definitely no ball. Yes. Thank you, Cliff. Call of the day. Call of the day. Right there. Cliff. Cliff wins the Don Franklin Auto call of the day. That's it. Right there. Just saying we know ball. It's a great point. Yeah. What do you get? Do you get a free car from that?

I think so. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Go to the dealership and say, I won call of the day. Where's my truck? Yeah. Matt Jones said I get a truck. So, and I'm going to take you back just real quick. In 1997, I went to a book signing. with Rick Petino, he was doing success as a choice. And of course, I'm a UK fan. And as a little boy, I went up to him and I said, hey, you're not going to go to the NBA. And he said, I promise, I'm not going to go to the NBA.

So he lied to me. And when I didn't care, we started getting a lot of players to go to Boston, which was fun to watch, you know, UK players go there. But when he went to Louisville, that was a slap in the face. And I don't know if I've forgiven him yet, but today's call, I think you guys finally kind of helped me turn that corner with him. I want to say thank you for that. But you know ball and you know how to get to our heartstrings too here in Kentucky because that was absolutely, it was a great call by him. And hopefully Pope succeeds.

You know, we love Pope out here. And go bills. I love it, Cliff. So, how old were you in 1997? I was 14. Okay, so 14-year-old Cliff can finally let go of a grudge, almost a 20-year grudge, or no, more than a 20-year grudge today. We did that.

Yeah, thank you so much for doing that for me. I love it, Cliff. I love it. It's a good moment. I love hearing that because you've been walking around with, you know, that tension in your shoulders for this past 20 years is hating Rick Betteen. know now you know what he came home today is the first day of the rest of your life cliff thank you yeah forgiveness is important yeah for sure now when you did call in and you said when

i was a little kid and i got my books i thought you were going to say you were six years old and you said don't go to the NBA you were in high school yeah yeah little kid but i mean 14 i mean i was not driving so anything below i guess 16 i'll consider a kid you know that's fair yeah i was stupid 14 I can't believe. Luckily, we didn't have the internet then, or not like we do now. True. It's a good point. I don't think that you're going to run into that problem with Pope. I feel like this is the job that Pope wants. It's not a stepping stone. He's not going to leave because of chicken farm offered him more money.

This is the guy and he wants to be here. And I do have a question for both of you. If you could share a story, share a story about Matt Jones because you all get to know him a little bit more than we do behind the scenes. and he doesn't talk about everything. He talks about a lot of stuff, but is there something like a silly story when he tried to fit into something he couldn't fit into? Yeah.

Y'all have a good rest of the day. All right, thanks, Cliff. That is a call day. I don't know what story comes up in your head right away, PFT. I want to share the first time that I met Matt Jones. First time I met him, I was living in New York City, great bourbon in New York, great race horses up there, and I was in my apartment in the West Village,

and I get a knock on my door. And I go to my door, and it's this guy with a funky haircut, no sideburns, wearing a Kentucky polo shirt, but he had a clipboard in his hand. I said, how can I help you, sir? He's like, I'm here canvassing for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Would you like to sign up to be a member of her campaign staff?

And I said, no, thank you. And then I shut the door on him. And then I found out two years later, that was Matt Jones. He was nice as could be in the moment. I just didn't feel like talking to him. Yeah, so my, that's a great story. My first time meeting Matt Jones, he actually, so it's similar. I was mind of my own business, get a knock at the door.

Two big men in suits put a burlap sack over my head, threw me in a van, and then I ended up at a meeting of the Illuminati. And Matt Jones was there, and he tapped me for the Illuminati. And he said, you're part of us now. I said, I don't want to do this, Matt Jones, please. And he's like, no, if you're in the Illuminaity, you're in the Illumina. I am part of the Illuminati now because of Matt Jones, so I do have to thank him for that. And I'll say something very nice about Matt. He sells the best adrenicrome.

Yes. It is delicious. That's a fact. I always feel better the morning after drinking it. So thank you, Matt. And Kentucky Sports Radio listeners who love Matt, you should know that he is going to live to about 300 years because he's been drinking baby blood for a very long time. Wouldn't you say, Shannon? All this is true.

Yeah, yeah, it's all true. Yeah. All of it. Every bit of it. I wasn't going to be the one to. say those things, but I'm glad that you did first. Yeah, Shan's part of the Illuminati too. One thing I appreciate

about Matt is he saves all his best radio and his best takes for when he's doing ESPN radio when he's doing like pre-game shows in the morning on Sundays. And so a big audience gets to listen to him and then he goes back on Kentucky and he's got the leftover scraps for you guys. But he does a very good job on national radio. Yeah, so

Matt's a great guy. We've known him for a very long time. He's because it's kind of a funny relationship because in all honesty, he when we started, we weren't huge. We had a little bit of a rocket ship with part of my take, but he invited us on to host, and it was one of the funnest days that we have every single year,

and he's been a supporter of us. There's been times when it's been hard to be a supporter of us, so we always remember friends like that, and he's a loyal guy through and through, and I think that's a real thing. The Illuminati's real as well, but Matt is very loyal, and he's been a loyal friend for many years. And he does actually,

care about the state of Kentucky very, very deeply. Very deeply. No matter how big his audience gets if he's doing TV shows, if he's on Get Up, debating against Stephen A. Smith, whatever the case might be, he cares first and foremost about Kentucky sports. And that's never going to change the Matt. He's a very, very nice guy. Yeah, this is actually a real true story. And I hope he doesn't get mad at me for this, but I don't think he will. Shannon, Matt obviously talked about possibly dipping his toes into politics. Yes, yes, correct. So when he was thinking, he was thinking, about it he called me and he was like hey I'm thinking about this just so you know if I do end up doing this there will be people who will come after me and they will come after you because your association with me

and he was trying to get me a heads up and I was just laughing the whole time he called me because I was like dude you you don't think we've heard everything that's been said about us the people that hate us like this is going to be nothing I don't know how it's going to go for you but he was nice enough to like he was thinking of his friends in that moment of like, hey, if I'd go down this path with politics, it could affect the people in my life. And he was nice enough and aware enough to give me a heads up, which I didn't need, uh, that it could be a ripple effect or a waterfall effect, uh, that if he does this, we could be in the crosshairs as well. And I always appreciated that from him. And on his side of that, that, uh, I guess equation he was going through on whether or not to pursue politics or not,

he got his hands on some opposition research, and he said, they will attack you, or they will attack me for being friends with a part of my take guys. And never once did it occur to Matt to distance himself or anything like that. He's like, I still love you guys. I'll still defend you. Come on Kentucky Sports Radio once a year. I like this relationship.

So he's a loyal guy. He's not going to turn his back because his back's against the law. Yeah, this is actually turning into a sappy Matt Jones segment, but it's a great point because there's been, And we've had through the course of our podcast and when we were on TV for one episode, we've had people who we thought were our friends, not be our friends and not defend us. And Matt Jones is the opposite. He's someone who has always defended us and never been ashamed of his relationship with us.

And as you get older and you realize that there are a lot of people that will be nice to your face, but not nice when you're out of the room, it's guys like Matt Jones, who are the authentic. guys who you got to hold on to those guys because those are the real ones. Yeah, whenever Matt needs a favor, we are there for him. Yeah, this is Shannon, is this disgusting? I mean, yeah, I'm like, come on, should we go to a break now and end this now? Okay, all right, right. So right now Matt's listening.

He's probably crying and he's on his yacht with Greta Thurnberg and they're sailing across the Atlantic Ocean right now and he's listening on satellite radio. And so Matt just know that everything that we just said about you, we were just saying because you pay us, what is it this year? like $500,000 to host Kentucky Sports Radio each year. I think it works out to like something like $10,000 a minute. Well worth it. You guys kept me in a little bit.

Yeah, we can cut you in a little. All right. Let us take our last break where we come back. We'll do a couple more calls and then we'll send everyone on their way and we'll see you next year. So let's take a break. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind. Highlights are trending.

A great day.

If you missed any of it, we are going to have the best of on part of my take tomorrow. We love doing that, the best callers. Did we raise a banner today? We might have raised a banner day. It's not a 0% chance that they put a banner up in Rupp Arena on the first night of the season. And they're like, the banner just says 627, 2024. Pardon my take got Rick Petino on. It's a huge day across the entire state.

Do we want to take some more calls? Yeah, let's finish up with a couple calls. All right, let's go to Aaron. Aaron, what's up? Yeah, hey, so earlier you were talking about how Reed Shepard looks like a Lego. Yeah. And then Duke players have better style and all this. Well, it seems like to me you all pay attention more to the style than how they play ball.

I mean, when I'm out there. Whoa, whoa, whoa, Oh, Aaron, are you saying we're not ball knowers? Oh, I'm, I'm, I thought you all were ball-knowers, but I'm not sure now because I'm out there. If you can play ball, I don't care how you look. And I'd rather go three in the draft than being the transfer portal. I understand that. All the Duke players did.

All the Duke players are in the transfer portal while Reed was having a living it up, going three in the draft, wearing a big nice suit. while those Duke players were who had style apparently No they get style once they get to the NBA Yeah so they change their look McCain he he's got ORA for sure Yeah he's a big OAR guy But you make a fair point though

Which is that sometimes on draft night The players that we look back on 20 years from now The best players are the ones where we're roasting their fits Right like all we talk about with Carmelo Anthony on draft night Yeah How bad the suit was So maybe looking back

That on draft night is actually a good thing for your NBA career. And he definitely had that. Also, it was a very boring draft. So the fact that we're just, we're scratching and clawing for some content to come out of it by saying that that Reed Shepherd looks like an accountant. Aaron, I got one question for you. Yeah. I want you to answer it honestly. What's up?

Have you ever used a bowl to cut your hair? A bowl? No. Heck no. Are you sure? Are you sure? I think you might have. No.

have not. Don't flip this on me here. Let me say this. Wait, wait. Can I say this? Yes, say that. I am the biggest cat's fan of all time. Not bigger than us. I think. And what? Not bigger than us. Okay, well. And then Mark Pope

is my favorite coach of all time. Same. He's your favorite coach of all time already. Yes, already. I love Mark Pope. No one represents Kentucky more than Mark Pope. Well, listen, except us. Except us. Hey, we're supposed to be Kentucky. We can be happy about Mark Pope being the coach and pumped up. But we got to see some banners before we crown him the best coach of all time.

And it sounds like you're trying to pit us against you. I said my favorite. I didn't say the best coach of all time. I said my favorite. There's a difference. I think the standard needs to be a little bit higher before you start handing out those accolades. We're supposed to be Kentucky. That's my opinion. I can have an opinion. In my opinion is that he's my favorite. All right, Aaron, let me ask you this then. What's your favorite Kentucky title? My favorite Kentucky title, 1996. Oh, mine's the next one.

The next one. 2012. The next one. No, you still don't get it. It's the next one. It's the one that we haven't won yet. The one we're about to win with Mark Pope. Oh.

Sounds like we know ball. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The next one, yeah. Yeah, there we go. Okay, we're learning. Now we're all on the same team. All right. Thank you, Erin.

Appreciate the call. Yeah, we're going to win one this year. Yeah, there we go. There we go. The next one. The next one's our favorite title always. Okay. That got testy.

I think we handled ourselves well in that debate. He definitely has a bowl haircut. Well, I think you asked the wrong question. I think has your mom ever used a bowl to cut your hair? Yeah. All right, one last call. All right, let's go to Samantha. Samantha, what's up?

Hey, guys. Oh, not much. Thanks for taking my call. I got to tell you guys have made my day. You're welcome. I've been listening since Tubby. This is the first time I've even been compelled to call. When you guys announced a guest who had never called in,

I thought to myself, what better guest than Rick Petino? I didn't think it was going to be him. Yeah. But I thought, what better guest after the draft to have than Coach Petino? Because it brings everything full circle. He represents a time when we played right for the front of the jersey.

And I just appreciate that. you know, I was brought up to leave things as good as or better than you found it. And many of us were a little concerned when Cal embraced the one and done as a long-term strategy because we knew that was going to erase the front of the jersey. Ultimately, it was always going to end up the way it did. And so when I see the outlook of Coach Pope, and I'm so impressed with him already, and I am excited for what he's going to do, and he was under the tutelage of Coach Petino. and I think it's undeniable that Coach Petino, regardless of what you think about him,

he left Kentucky better than he found it. And I think he's inarguably one of the best college basketball coaches to ever step foot on the court. And I hope Mark Pope out does him. How's that? Yeah, that's nice. That's very nice. Yeah, he leaves a good taste in your mouth. And I think that Rick has made some good inroads with the people of Kentucky today.

It sounds like it's all love from the Kentucky side. We're healing. Yes. 100% and you guys did it. You brought it home. Thank you. All right. Thank you so much, Samantha. That was a great call to finish. Thank you, Samantha. This was my favorite one we've done, and we've done some great Kentucky sports takeovers. But I feel like we're in a good spot as a fan base. I feel like the future is bright. Mark Pope is a guy who wants to be at Kentucky.

Rick Petino told us he plays for the name on the front of the jersey, not the back. I think he's the guy. He's the guy. This is good. This is good. So no trolling this year at all. No. It's just been us knowing ball.

Most of the callers known ball. Some callers not knowing ball enough, but us educating callers about ball. Right. This has been a good day. I feel like we also healed with the state of Kentucky. Yeah. I do too. Us and Rick, we're coming together.

It's been fantastic and we can't wait for next year. Yeah. So thank you to everyone who tuned in. Thank you to everyone who called in. Thank you, especially to Shannon. for always helping us. And we look forward to this Kentucky basketball season, football season, and we'll see you next year.

Shout out. Shout out Harvey. Yeah, shout out Harvey. This one was for Harvey. Thank you, everyone who listened. You can tune in to Part My Take, Monday, Wednesday, Friday. We'll see everyone next year. Love you guys. Another podcast from some SNL, late-night comedy guy,
