Ryan, A-Vision Glass has been with us forever. They fix your windshields when you break them, fix your glass.

They also have cleaner that I use because you see how spotless my car windshield is always. And nice to be here in one of our fans. favorite towns in Hopkinsville. Yeah, this is their 16th store they've opened now in the state of Kentucky. Great friends of the show for a long time. And you're right, man, Hopkinsville never disappointed. I think this is like our fourth or fifth show. Always have big crowds when we come here.

Yeah, I mean, I would say, you know, outside of Lexington and Middlesbrough, probably I have more friends that have come from here than anywhere. Jason Moore, Duncan Cavanaugh, Johnny Bruce, Carrie Bruce, Adam Kuhlenbeck. I'm sure I'm missing people. But, you know, all those folks I've been friends with for over 20 years from this city. So I've been here quite a bit. I've been here a time or two. We like to say that West Kentucky is the best Kentucky. I hope you all have been enjoying your stay on the right side of the state here.

Yeah, other than that. I like seeing the 270 everywhere. Yes. So very nice to be out here. I've played this golf course quite a bit over the years. Lost a lot of golf balls on the part where all the houses are on the left, hit it in people's yards. So it's a great place to be.

We stayed last night at the Holiday Inn, the new Holiday Inn out there at the edge. It was fun because we got to see Mario. I thought Billy was soft. I mean, Mario, 10 minutes, Mario was walking around saying crazy stuff in Hopkinsville, so it was nice. He was having a good time. He got fully initiated. He really did. Staying with Ryan, traveling with Ryan.

I'll tell you break somebody in. So, Ryan, I heard you all talked about this earlier, but, of course, there's people who may not have heard it. You, I heard, were not just snoring. You were talking in your sleep last night. Yeah, Mario said I did everything. I was talking. I was snoring like crazy.

But the best story, I think, is, you know how Billy got locked in a bathroom on one of the road trips? Mario and I got locked out of our bathroom. So at 2 o'clock in the morning, I get up to pee, and the door is locked to our bathroom. Mario had accidentally locked the door to the bathroom. We couldn't get in. So I had to go down in the lobby at 2 o'clock in the morning

and get somebody to come up to our room. I'd brought him up to our room while Mario was asleep to open the bathroom door for us. Because you have like that, excuse me, you know, but we're all friends here. You have that old man prostate where you have to like, you have to like pee like three or four times a night, right? Yeah, yeah.

So like I said earlier, if I can get through one night without peeing, I am a happy camper. Is that like a goal of yours? Oh, like you go to bed? Like it's 1999. But if you're in a room just with one other person, I don't know about you guys. I don't lock. I shut the door.

I don't lock the door. Like, I would trust that Ryan wouldn't just wander in. Are you guys like that? Do you like that? I mean, why don't you just not drink before you go to bed? Or do you, does it not matter? No, I do that normally. But, you know, we were having some drinks last night.

So I wanted to, you know, be social. Well, good. Well, I'm glad you got out of it. Ryan, you're always good at this. All the best athletes from Hopkinsville. This town, we talk about this every time we come, we talked about it last night. I would say this town has to be one of the national leaders in NBA players per capita, especially in like a 10-year period at one point.

Yeah, outside of Louisville, Hopkinsville's produced the most NBA talent basketball. More than Lexington. I don't think a lot of people in the state, ros, there are more NBA players from here. Oh, yeah. Than in Lexington in the last 30 years. Chris Whitney was probably the first one. and started all this onslaught of great basketball talent, Isaiah Victor, Lamont Barnes, Scottie Hobson, Greg Buckner, Andre Buckner,

Robbie Moss, Anthony Hickey. I mean, those are just basketball players. I mean, that's eight. Really good basketball. Of those eight, the one people may not know is Andre Buckner, who played at Duke. You know, I mean, like that, they have had an unbelievable run here, Drew, and a lot of those were, like I said, in a 10-year period. There was a time, I don't know.

Have the schools combined yet? Hopkins, are they going to combine? They're still building it. Hey, how are you, by the way? They're going to combine. There was a time you had UHA, Hopkinsville, and Christian County, and they were all good at basketball. Buddy, you don't have to tell me about it. I went to Madisonville.

We did not love seeing the Hopkinsville schools on the schedule. You could go all day with football players. I remember Curtis Pooley. They could do about everything. Yeah, football is Pooley. Artus Pinter was a football player from here. Jerry Claiborne is from here. I mean, Hopkinsville brings it.

Yes. So a lot of athletes, and like I said, great place to be today. So I guess it was what, a day or two ago that I was on the show. Well, I guess it was yesterday. We talked about grading Mark Pope. Okay? And so during that conversation, I had a lot of people write me and we ran into some guys came out last night to the mixer where we were and we were talking about it.

And they were sort of talking about with Mark Pope. They sort of said, Matt, give me like your actual, not what you hope, but kind of your actual, do you think this is going to work? And if it's going to work, on what level is it going to work? And so I was thinking about that last night. I was trying to think, okay, what is, what do I actually think is going to happen? And it was interesting because when I spoke with him on Wednesday, he has a vision, which I'm not going to go into because I want him to be able to share it. I think he wants to come on this show and sort of at some point share a long-term vision for the program that I find interesting and exciting, but also different than I think a lot of people in coaching are doing. So I'll start with you, Drew.

Do you think before Mark Pope leaves here? I'm going to go over a few. Do you think he succeeds at Kentucky in the broad sense? Yeah, I absolutely believe that. Do you think he makes a final four at Kentucky? I absolutely do. I think the way the game has gone, you're getting a little more of the transfer players, a little bit older. I think he's putting the right system in place to win in college basketball moving forward.

Do you think he wins a national championship at Kentucky? That one, you've got to have a little bit of luck. You know, I wouldn't, I'm not necessarily predicting it's going to happen, but I think today will be in the conversation more than once and we'll have a shot at it. So I'll lean yes, but I mean, it is a hard thing, hard thing to ask someone. you think when he leaves here, if I were to give you the coaches of Petino, Cal, Tubby, Billy, Joe B, let's leave her up out of the conversation. That group, that's five coaches. If we were to rank them right now, by the way, how would we rank them in terms of career?

That's actually a good. Billy's last. Okay, so let's assume Billy's last. Probably Eddie's next to last. So let's take Rick, Cal, Joe B, and Tubby. Rank, before I put where we're going to put Pope in, rank those right now, Ryan. If I had to rank them right now. Looking at their career. Oh, I hate to say this. I'm going to have to say Patino 1, Cal 2.

I've got to go Tubby 3, Jobi 4. Okay, so you're going Patino, Cal, Tubby, Joe B. Shannon, how are you ready? I think that's the list. I think Petino's one. Why is Petino one? Because he, well, part of it was because he wasn't here long enough to fail. You know, like Cala Perry was here so long.

If we just took the first half of his time at Kentucky, Cal would absolutely be number one. But the 9 and 16th season. So you have to factor that in. And losing in the first round. That never happened when Patino was here. So because of that, and they both have one national title, I'm going Petino number one, Cal number two, number three, tubby. And then Joe.

Yeah. Okay. What about you? I think Shannon makes a good point. I've struggled with the Cal versus Petino exercise plenty of times, but I think Cal's ending gives Patino the nod. I mean, they both took the program from a pretty bad place and turned it around very quickly and won a title.

Like Shannon said, if Petino had stayed a little longer and maybe had hopefully not a nine-win season, but it's, you know, a dip like Cal did, I think it could be different. But I'm going to Patino because it was mostly successful the whole time. So Patino's here 90 to 97. So he's here eight years, right? Cal is here 2010 to basically 24. He's here 15 years. All right, so you're basically talking about half.

Petino's here half. I'm going to make the case for both, and then I'll say which one I think. The case for Cal is his first eight years, or his 2010 to 2017, outside of Rupp in like 48, 49, 51, which is a different era, it's the most successful run in Kentucky history. I mean, they made Final Fours in 2010, 14, 15, and 11. So four out of six years. Actually, or excuse me, yeah, four out of six. It did make it in 2010.

Four out of five years, four out of six years. They were a contender, Ryan, every year, except when Noel got hurt. Oh, yeah. Except when Noel got hurt. They made all those Final Fours. They won a ton of games, and we were the coolest program. For Rick, you'd go, okay, yeah, that's great. good, but 92 to 98 was pretty awesome as well, right?

You were dominant in 93, maybe the best team, the only team that could beat you, beat you, you win it in 96, you go the finals in 97, you set up a great roster in 98, and in 95 we're in the elite 8. The reason I put Rick ahead of Cal, part of it is the ending of Cal, but for me more, it's what Rick had to build it from, because he didn't have the ability to go get Wall, cousins, and those guys, because you didn't. didn't have the one in Dunnare. Right?

So you weren't able to go get that. And as low as we were with Billy, we were much lower when Rick came here. Scholarship restrictions, playing with, you know, basically a group of guys from Kentucky. I mean, think about his first team. Best player was Derek Miller, right?

So I think what Rick had to build it from is why you put him number one. But I actually think, Ryan, they're really, really close. It is close. Pre-COVID, it's Cal. Pre-COVID, it's Cal. But you have to add what has happened the last couple of years. I think you have to. All right, so now let's put Pope in there, Shannon.

When his career is over, in that ranking of Rick, now remember, all four of those guys won national championships. All four of them were successful, but Rick, Cal, Tubby, Joe B, where will Mark Pope be at the end of his career? Man, that's a great question, because you've got to win a national title to jump over any of those guys. And I think that Pope can make a final four. I agree with Drew.

I'm not willing to say that he's going to win a national title here. So you're going to put him fifth? I'm going to put him fifth. All right. What about you, Ryan? I kind of think of Tubby and Jobby about the same, kind of the way we look at Cal and Patino about the same. And I think Pope is right in there, though he's going to be right in that Tubby-Jobie era. And I view Pope a lot like Tubby.

I think he won't have a team full of superstars like Cal had or a team like that 96 team. He's going to have teams like Tubby had with Chuck Hayes in that group. They're just a really good college basketball team. So I'm going to put him tied with Tubby for third. Wow. What a cheating tied for third. It's kind of a cop-out answer. Tide is a cop-out answer.

He can't do it. What about you? I'm going fifth, but it's a little unfair because so much has changed. Those guys, some of those years, the SEC was awful. You know, Pope's going against a loaded conference. Good point. College basketball across the board, teams are better. I think it's going to be hard for any school anywhere to do kind of the run Cal had and the run Patino had

because I just think we're going to have, there's going to be so ebbs and flows. I don't see any team really put together at Dynasty. So I think it's hard to ask for him to do that, which would be hard to put him above any of those coaches. So you're going fifth. Yeah, but it's a good fifth. It's a great fifth. Can I just add that? But what's saying that putting him at fifth, I don't think, I'm not saying that he's not going to have success here.

No caveats. No, no. Give your opinion. No caveats. Clearly, you could be in fifth and still win a national title, honestly, with that group. I'm going to slot him fourth. I'm going to put him after Tubby ahead of Cal. Here's what I think is going to be his challenge.

I wonder, I am still a little concerned about recruiting because I still believe you've got to go. You can get it superstar from the transfer. portal, you can get it. But like, you got to have one or two. You got to have one or two, and I need to see him go get those guys. Okay, I need to see him go get him. I'm not saying he can't. But besides, I mean, his highest rate recruit of his life is Colin Chandler that's here right now. I think that's important to remember. So I need to go see him do that. But with that said, I'm with you, Ryan, that like Tubby, I think he'll take a team like that. Maybe one of my favorite teams, I don't know about you all. It's the 2003 Kentucky team. Oh, yeah. I know.

they lost to Marquette and Dwayne way but I love that team. Chuck Hayes, Eric Daniels, Fitch, Hawkins, Bogans, I love that team. I think, Ryan, we will see the best of Pope's teams will look like that team, just like you said. I think that's dead on what we're looking at. So maybe, you know, now that Coach Brooks and Coach Hart are here, two really good recruiters, maybe that's where. I got to see it. Got to see it, got to see it, though. Because to be honest, if we're being honest, he didn't get the stud in the portal.

And we're not really leading with one yet in recruiting. So I need to see him go get one. I don't think you have to get a top five guy, but I do think you have to get top 15 guys, and I just need to go see him do it. 8592. We need to go break. 859-28027. We're going to take a break.

We'll be right back here in Hopkinsville. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. Last night, a blown call changed the game. This morning, the internet lost its mind.

Are we on? We are on. Sorry about that. All right, welcome back to Kentucky Sports Radio. Here in Hopkinsville, Avis. Glass, Rick, I've missed you. I miss hearing great hits like this. How was your summer, Rick?

It was great. Probably not as good as yours, but not bad. I bet you were happy sitting on your back porch, drinking wine, and enjoying yourself. We are here at A Vision Glass. Absolutely awesome crowd. Give Hopkinsville. Give yourselves a round of applause. This is the first one of these we've done in like three months, and great crowd.

We always get a great crowd here. I'm trying to think we've been here at the old holiday. Right? Wasn't there an old holiday inn in a different part of town? We did it there one time. I remember had a great crowd. The big sports complex we did one? We did one at the sports complex. So very nice.

Appreciate all of you coming out. On the text machine, one person writes, Matt, I thought after your vacation that you would stop being negative about basketball, but I guess I'm wrong. I thought that was pretty positive. I literally just said that he would be the fourth best coach of all time in front of a person who won a national championship, which implies. he will probably win a national championship. And, Shannon, that is still not positive enough for people who I guess want you to say

that a coach that has only won one NCAA tournament game ever will be the greatest coach in the history of a college basketball. And if you don't say that, that's not positive enough. Why are you so negative, Matt? I mean, come on, man. I mean, Mark Poach has got five national titles here. Once again, you ranked it below me, and they're talking about me and not you, Shand. I think they expect it from me.

They get it from you. They want you to, you know, hype it up a little bit. Let me, as I said, I'm going to keep a lot of my conversation with Mark private, because I think some of it he wants to talk about in here. But I think he'd be fine with me saying this, because this was an interesting exchange with him I had. One of the things I said to him was, I was like, look, I want you to understand. I don't know what you've heard about us and blah, blah, negativity. And he actually cut me off, which is hard to do, as you know.

Yeah, I don't. It's hard to cut me off. You appreciate your call. But he kind of, he kind of said, I appreciate it. I appreciate your monologue. He cut me off, and he said, listen, and this is almost a direct quote. He said, what makes Kentucky basketball, Kentucky basketball,

is the expectation. He said, I want the fans in the arena to expect us to win every game. And he said, I want you to rip me if you think I deserve to be ripped. He said, I want you to rip me because that ripping is what makes this Kentucky. And I was like, well, I'm not going to rip you. I was like, I haven't ripped anybody. He said, do it. He wants to be ripped.

No, he said, if I deserve it, do it. He goes, because the day you stop doing it is the day that's in Kentucky anymore. I agree with that. He gets it. Yeah. And it was interesting. I said, look, dude, I want you to succeed, which is true. The difference between KSR and some media.

It's not in Kentucky, but in other places is we want them to succeed. We just did our annual revenue for the bar. The Oakland did not make last year a profitable year. I need them to succeed. But he was adamant. He said, I want the expectation. He said, I want to win every game. And I don't want people to expect mediocrity.

This is Kentucky. So if he's like that, then I think we as fans need to be like that. And I don't think he's scared about it. That's one of the things I've always liked about Mark Stoops. Mark Stoops will tell me if I deserve to be ripped, rip me. Now, he doesn't love it, but he understands like that comes with it, and it looks like Mark Pope does as well. I love that he said that to you.

To me, I want my coach to hurt when we lose. I want my coach to be excited when we win. I don't want my coach to say, well, I get to go home and spend time with my dog after they lose an important game. I want him to hurt like we hurt. I mean, his exact word was rip me. And like, I almost got defensive, Shane. I was like, I'm not going to rip.

What have you ever had a coach say that to you? Ever. Ever. Yeah. I mean, never. I mean, to be fair, I haven't dealt with that many coaches because we've been, we had these long runs. We just went from one that was, you know, super sensitive to that type of thing to now a guy who's asking you to rip them.

It's interesting because, like, on a personal level, Drew, I don't think I would have been as defensive as Cal, but I probably more lean towards Cal. Like, I don't. Shannon loves to be criticized. don't really, if I'm being honest. I'm better about it than I used to be, but I don't love it. But it seemed to me like Mark Pope is walking in here with like, he is like, be Kentucky fans.

That's what I'm coming for. Be wild. That's what I want. And if that includes criticizing me, I'm good with it. He's shown many times he's one of us. And this is what I was going to add earlier. If it works with Mark Pope, it will be better than it will have been with anyone. Because he was a player.

We already adore him before he's even coached to game. So if it does pan out, that'll be a ceiling and something we wouldn't have had with anyone else. Even the guys that they were talking, heck, if they had gotten hurly, nobody could do what Pope can do if it works out, because we'll enjoy it so much more going on the ride with him because he's one of us. He's more than one of us because he played for the team and won a title. Were any of you all at the press conference in Lexington? You were? Then you can, I'm sure you would agree with this. I'm not just saying this. I can't, I don't know how many sports experiences at Kentucky I've had that felt like that.

Now, obviously, there were things that are more exciting, like winning a championship. But it was all, and people would mock this if they weren't Kentucky fans, but you all are all Kentucky fans. It was like a church experience. It was like you were at church. Am I wrong? You were there. No, no, no.

It was like, it was like, it was almost like when you were a kid, like I got saved as a Christian at a revival. I didn't go there expecting to do it, right? Like, I got caught up in it, and I just kind of walked in, and like, that was my moment. For Kentucky basketball, it felt like a revival. It felt like, again, who knows? Maybe it won't even work. But, Ryan, that feeling is kind of why Drew's right.

If it works, it will feel a different way than when it's worked in the past. And, well, you're right, there was something special about that event where we felt like, I think the fans felt like, okay, we got our program back. There were people crying. There were people crying everywhere. Like, I don't think unless you were there, I don't think unless you were there, people can realize what that building felt like. And so if he's able to win and that feeling accompanies winning a title,

then I think that will be the kind of feeling that, like, you just don't get a lot. And now we've got to see if he does it. All right, 859-28027. We're going to talk some football. I was talking about a huge day at the Olympics yesterday. Be right back. This is KSR. Last night, a blown call changed a game.

Somebody! Please! But there's so much more to me than that. I'm an actor. I'm a comedian. And recently, I've become quite the helper myself. And on my new podcast, Hope from a Hypocrite, I'll be changing lives, helping people in need with my sage advice and thoughtful solutions.

Sike! I'm a comedian. I'm not qualified to give good advice. Join me and my comedian friends as we really. Riff Rant recommends some of the most legally dubious advice known to man. If I'm calling you, even if you're on your phone, let it ring twice. One ring is too scary. Cream a chicken suit.

Hey, cream a chicken suit. This is Help from a Hypocrite, the worst advice from the dumbest people you know. Listen to Help from Hypocrite as part of the MyCultura podcast network available on the I-HartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Deanna Maria Riva, actress, mother, lover, and a Gen X woman walking through life one hot flash and hormonal crying jag at a time. You ladies know what I mean. I'll bet you a parameda apostle chin here you do. So let's talk about it. Join me on my new podcast.

How hard can it be with Deanna Maria Riva, where I call on my Gen X squads from Ohio to Hollywood as we navigate midlife's most fantastic BS. All of a sudden, I'd had hanginess happening on my own. I was like, what the hell is that? was married when I had her, so I didn't even consider how empty that nest was going to be. Mood swings, night sweats, fupas, sex drive. Wait, what sex? Dating at 45, how high can it be, getting naked at 50 with the new guy? That one's kind of hard, well, that's lighting. They say we can't polish a turd, but we're sure going to try. So let's get blunt with laughs, tears, or tears of laughter, and dive into it, unfiltered and unbothered and ask, how hard can it be? I cannot believe I'm

about to say this out loud in public. How Heart Can It Be with Diana Maria Riva as part of My Cultura Podcast Network available on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back, Tegi Sports Radio, here in Hopkinsville at AVision Glass, a grand opening on Sequoia Drive. If you have a cracked windshield, visit AVI-ZI-O-N.com. They work with all insurance companies to help fix it. They did that for me when my glass was cracked. A Vision Glass gives service to all 120 counties in Kentucky, and here's the new one here in Hopkinsville.

Once again, awesome to see such a great crowd here on this day. One person writes, Matt, while you were gone, I know you're a control freak. Thanks a lot. I love you, but. Yeah. But were you, did you have full confidence if you're being honest in the guys? No, but I was very, I'm kidding. I was much less nervous this time than I was like six years ago or whatever.

I think we created the perfect schedule. You know, I went away one time and we had all guest hosts. I think that got away from the rhythm a little bit of what we do. And then I think having Myron one day and Tom one day and then you guys and you all rotating each other outright. I think it went about as well as it could. The addition of Myron on Monday and Tom on Wednesday helped the summer get along. and those guys were great. I mean, they really killed it.

They did a great job. And you all, like, everybody loves you, right? So it was good. You all, they held the ratings closer than we've ever done before. So to me, that's a success. And I think it also showcases, you know, Ryan has always been a radio pro. But, like, I'll say a nice thing. Drew has gotten, I think Drew's a pro.

Shannon. It's like Shannon, you know, we know more about Shannon's personality every year. Billy continues to get better. It's been putting Mario in. So I think it was, I think it went really well. Did you all enjoy it? Thank you very much. We had a lot of fun.

I actually enjoyed because I don't usually drive the show much, and I got to do that more than I've ever done and had fun doing that. Like Media Day, Ryan had something come up, couldn't make it, but we just kept on rolling. Ryan actually had to do show prep for the first time in show history, which was interesting. But you did a great job, man. So yes, the answer to that question is yes. 859-280-2287.

Who's up first, Rick? Got Ethan up first. Ethan, go ahead, Ethan. Hey, how y'all doing? Doing good. So on the basketball projections, I don't really know how to think about this season coming up, so I asked chat GPT,

and they said 12 losses with going 9-9-19. Yes, chat GPT. So they have us going 19 and 12? Yes. Boo AI. They don't know anything. I hate that. All right, so 12 losses.

What's your football record? Well, this is the one you're going to love then. 10 and 2. Oh, chap, TBT says 10 and 2 in football? No, no, no. Absolutely not. That's me. Oh, that's you. Okay.

All right. That's a lot of that Ole Miss, neither splitting Texas and Tennessee, but I think we take one on Georgia. You think we beat Georgia at home? Well, you've got to think. They've lost, how many years have we been competitive with Georgia, and then all of a sudden, number 19, they're tight-in. out of there, Brock Bowers, and just dominates the game. Well, last time I checked he's playing on Sundays now.

He is. All right, well, I like it. So what's your question besides that? Well, so it seems like in the past couple years in football, we get up two, three touchdowns, and then we just start playing conservative. Do you think we get away from that? Because Missouri last year and Clinton are coming up. I don't know.

I mean, I appreciate the call. Like, ultimately, the conservative or not, Ryan, is a Mark Stoops thing, right? Like it's a Mark Stoops thing. I mean, those guys call the plays. But when Stoops wants them to slow it down, that's his decision. He can say all he wants. He's not going to do that anymore.

I kind of feel like you've got to show me that, Mark, because we've seen 10 years of his natural inclination is to slow it down. So I hope we don't. But I think people should remember, while that costs us against Missouri, we've won a lot of games doing that where he sort of deflates the ball

and we run out the clock. I have a hard time believing he's going to change because it is. He liked that ground it and pound it, move the chains and run the clock. That's just his philosophy, and it's going to be really hard for him. For me, I think he's going to change. By the way, Drew just put into chat, GPT. What are we doing in football? I asked the robots, they say to narrow it down to specific prediction.

They're going eight and four. But facing losses against Georgia, Alabama. Don't play them in Tennessee. They have us losing to Alabama. Maybe they met Texas there. I still figured out the SEC. I don't think AI is not perfect yet, Shannon. They still have us playing games where not play.

In that case, then I would say 9 in 3 then. What about where I showed you the other day right an episode of KSR? And it's like Matt Jones, welcome to Kentucky Sports Radio. Did you all talk about that on the air? No, we didn't. So I was with Drew, and Drew said, watch this. And he put in the computer right an episode of KSR. And it was like scary how it sounded with us.

I mean, they had my intro. Like they did the whole intro. A Vision Glass Text Machine. they had the number. Oh, my. And remember, we've never written that out. No. Like, that's, like, these things are going to take over the world.

And I don't know if everybody's as scared about it as I am, but, like, that was crazy. Because there's never been a transcript, I think, of our show. And it, like, had my entire intro. It had me throwing to Ryan. When I throw to Ryan, it was kind of scared. How? I don't know. How does it do it?

It makes our job a lot easier. You know, we're just up here winging it. We could just read off a script now like we're a newscaster. So we had this podcast seminar while we, last this week in advertising, this guy got up from the National Eyeheart, and he goes, you know, we have this new thing now where we're going to start translating shows into other languages through AI. And so basically he was like, you know, we can translate KSR into Spanish with AI voices

that are modeled to sound like us. So you could hear like Spanish southern accents trying to speak. Mateo Jones over here. I guess Mateo Jones, that kind of blows my mind. Who's up next? Got Alan up next. Alan, go ahead, Alan. Hey, guys, first time caller, long time listener.

Who are? What's up? All right. Hey, I got a theory on why Mark folks are going to be so successful. That's what Kentucky, I want to hear what you guys think about it. Last year he was in the Big 12, which was between them with the SEC, they were the two best basketball conferences in the country. He wins 24 games with the BYU roster, which I understand BYU had a pretty good roster last year.

But I think Kentucky, with him at Kentucky, he will always have a better roster than he had last year at BYU. Listen, I agree. I think the X and O's, I appreciate the call. I'd be shocked if the X&Os with Pope don't work. I'd be shocked. The question for me is going to be the players. But, like, this is why this year is important. If we're good this year, he'll go get players.

Like, if we're good this year and NBA guys see, hey, you can still make it from the league, then we'll go get players, Ryan. So that's why we need to be good this year. Just like Cal's first year was a John Wall year, and that's set up the next eight years, we need to be good this year. Need to be good this year, and I think players, a lot of guys may wait just to kind of sit on the fence if they're just considering Kentucky. Let's wait and see what that system's like, how it works, and am I going to fit in the way he likes to play? Yeah, but I do think it'll happen.

So we're here in Hopkinsville, Owensboro's Western Kentucky. Did you see this story, Shannon, about the surgeon in Owensboro that's been suspended? No, no what happened. Again, because people in Owensboro, I'm sure, know more about this than I do. So I know nothing more than what I read in this newspaper article. So if there's more to it, tell me on the text machine. 772-7-7-4-5-254. But this story says this surgeon was operating on a guy,

and I guess he had like a tube or something that, I don't know, was in some part of the guy. I don't know, like the medical details. There was like a tube somewhere and then whatever. According to the article, the guy was having a hard time, the doctor, the surgeon, getting the tube out of the guy. Now, the guy's, like, out. Yeah.

You know? He was having a hard time getting the tube out of the guy, and it was frustrating him, according to the witnesses. And so I guess he kept pulling, and, like, he kept pulling and trying to get it out, and he couldn't get it out. And when he, he was so frustrated about it that he slapped the patient. Oh, goodness. As if it was the patient's fault.

And he like, I don't know if it was hard. It wasn't that hard, but he like went, pik. And then he got it out, and he, like, made some joke like, that's all it took, you know. And I guess he thought it was funny, and now he's going to lose his license for five years, according to the Kentucky medical thing. You can't be smacking patience. I think that's safe to say. I think he thought it was like a playful smack, like a, oh, get this thing out of your body, dude.

Loose it up. Well, clearly it worked, though, right? I mean, maybe that goes on more than what we realize. You think that's what did it? I mean, if it came out, that's what it takes. And what if you're the patient you wake up and he said, yeah, the doctor had to smack you to get this. Clearly the patient knows now, because it's in, at least in the newspaper. I like Shannon thinking that's what worked.

It's like that thing. It's like causation correlation. You're not worried about that. Sometimes it gets stuck. You just got to kick it, smack it, whatever you've got to do to make it work. Your TV doesn't work. back in the day. Well, you do, you smack the TV and then it'd come on. Well, the doctor says he didn't do it, but there are witnesses that say he did, so I guess

they believe drew the witnesses, and so now the surgeon is no longer going to be a surgeon. It's like, yeah, we fixed everything inside. Your jaw is a little broken. Don't ask about that. Apologies, we'll fix that. I know. The surgery went a little weird. I know it was on your stomach, but like, sorry. Holly. Just had to smack you right in the face. A new report from the Kentucky Chamber, Shannon, highlights a massive economic impact of housing in this state. Did you know that? Yes, let's hear it. I knew it was coming.

Yes, I learned right now. Homebuilding and remodeling generate tax revenue up to $1.5 billion. So we want to hear from you. Do you think there's enough affordable housing?

And the truth about the U.S. national team.

It wouldn't be a huge surprise if our team ends up in the quarterfinals or potentially a great run into the semifinals. The World Cup is almost here. Experience it all with us. Listen, Inside American Soccer with Tom Bogart and Tab Ramos on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back Kentucky Sports Radio. Think about Rick's music, I never know exactly when it's going to hit.

You know what I mean? Like, it just jump in there wherever it feels right. Rick's like, whatever. We'll do whatever. We are here in Hopkinsville at A-Vision Glass. Thank you to this woman here who, brought us bread from Emily's bread basket here in Hopkinsville. I'm excited. You know, I got used to really good bread in Europe and now this is, you know, homemade bread. She said they mail it to me if

I like it. I'm looking forward to a sourdough. I love good sourdough bread. So I like, very cool here in Hopkinsville have Emily's bread basket. Now I've had three people, Ryan, who've written me saying they've been smacked while having surgery. What? I don't know. See? I might have to throw the challenge flag. That's a lot of people being. smack. Let me read this one. You tell me if you believe it or not. When I had surgery for my shoulder in high school, I woke up and one of the nurses was smacking me in the face pretty good. I didn't pass back out, and when I woke up again, I remembered it, and I said, yes, I remember being smacked. The nurse quickly went out of the room and came back with a couple others and

started apologizing and saying they didn't think anyone would remember. It also happened in Owensboro. So is Owensboro to like get surgery, get smacked? Capital of of the country? I thought one was crazy. You've already gotten all these replies. Maybe it's what I was trying to say. I think that happens, you know, especially when you're out, you've got to wake somebody up.

What do you do? So you think doctors, like, it's just like a thing that doctors do? They just kind of smack you in the face and nobody talks about it. Really, it works. Interesting. I can almost give the nurse a little bit of a pass. They're trying to wake you up from your anesthesia. I can't give the doctor a pass for smacking him.

So you give the nurse a pass for a smack? more list a little because you know like if somebody passes out somebody passed out here we might go up to him like no we wouldn't smack him in the face we smack ryan when he's snoring listen you know i please don't do that to me like i don't want to be smacked either wake i mean i feel like there's there's other ways to wake somebody up than just smacking them across the face yeah i i seems like it happens so i can give the nurse a little bit of a pass it happened at least once uh twice in oinsborough very cool here got a couple of my uh friends mothers here turkey hunter's moms there the uh uh Carrie and Johnny's mom back there. It's very neat to look up and see,

even though their kids, well, Carrie's still here, but even though their kids are gone, they still come and see us. Isn't that nice? You mentioned this, but you have so many connections to this town being from the other side of the state, so I'm not surprised they all turned up to say hi. We have the mayor here back and back in the back and back and got the mayor here as well.

So it's nice to have everybody here. 859-280-2287. Chi-Chi-Rodriguez died. And that makes me sad because when I was, You know, I don't know. The senior tour golf, I don't know if people still watch it. Like, I don't even know who's on it anymore. But when I was a kid, the senior tour was kind of a big thing, Ryan, right?

Like, people watched it. Nicholas was on it and Palmer and Chi-Chi. Again, a lot of people may be too young to remember this, but he would make a putt, and then he would act like his putter was like a, you know, a sword. Yeah. And he would go whew-whu-whu-whu-whu-whu-w. And then he would, like, take it, and he would holstered like that. So, you know, young Matt Jones at eight years old, if I didn't pick it up,

and like three or four feet would start his sword fighting, and I'd try to be Chi Chi Rodriguez, so he died at 88 years old. That made me sad. He was really like the first personality that I remember from golf. Huge personality. Huge personality, you know, and you're right. It was all because of him doing the Zoro sword after he sunk the park. And he seemed, even though he was like 55 or 56 years old,

he just seemed cool. Like he just seemed like a dude with swag. That picture, Shannon, I showed you, he's at the Masters, and he looks like a million bucks. Like, being in Europe, I'll tell you, Spanish people are insanely good-looking, male or female. Like, they all are like, like, it's like the best-looking people. And he just looks cool.

And then his caddy, Shannon, is like 6'6, black guy with an Afro that has his master's hat on top of his Afro. and I'm like, that might be the swaggiest picture I've ever seen in my life. I saw that picture, and I was thinking those are the guys you want to go out clubbing with back in the 70s. But to show up at the Masters with that, like, Drew, that was a look. That was like in the 70s sometime. Yeah, back then, it was hard to find any personality in golf. You know, it's hard to show any in golf.

That guy had a lot of character. Chichi also had a little swag to him. He'd wear some flashy clothes out there when no one else was doing it. Yeah, R.P. When I was a kid, loved Chichi Rodriguez, hadn't thought about him in a long time. rest in peace to him. Who's up next? Got Justin up next.

Justin, go ahead, Justin. Yes, I think football will most likely go eight and four. I think if we do get a ninth win, it's going to come with oldness, because they don't have a defense. If our offense is clicking like they're saying, we should be able to outshute them, hopefully. What's your basketball record? How many losses in basketball?

I think we'll end up with 14 or 15 losses in basketball. Whoa. But I need to see what we're going to do. 14. I mean, that's like we don't make the tournament. You think we're going to miss the tournament? I think we're going to miss. I think we're going to have some losses against big teams that we need.

Like Duke. We need to play against people like that. All right. Well, what's your other thing then, since you're such a bummer? Go ahead. My other thing is we're 11 years going on 12 years, I think, without a championship now. How many years do we go without

a championship before we become the next Indiana basketball? Yeah, you got to stop with me. Indiana is not won anything since what, 87? That's different. I mean, that's different. Indiana's not been to Indiana's, don't, yeah, but, Indiana has not been to a final four since 2001. They've only had like one

good year in the last 15 years, that Ola Depot year. The Indiana stuff, like we matter. Even when we've lost in these first rounds, we've been like a two-seed or a three-seed. We are a long way from Indiana. Yeah, but things, we've got to do something within the first five years, I think.

Yeah, within five years, I appreciate the call. Pope needs to be good. I mean, if he's not good for five years, he won't be the coach here anymore. But you think this crowd comes out to a show in Indiana? No. I mean, I remember, Ryan, that one time we stopped at a pizza place in Indiana, and Indiana was playing like Michigan, and it wasn't even on the TVs.

And I said, I mean, the game's not even on here. They were showing a different basketball game. And I was like, I don't care what those Hoosier fans say, that's not Kentucky. We have done shows in Indiana that have crowds as big as this in Indiana. We would get, take the biggest Indiana show. We could go to Bloomington and get a. bigger crowd than they do in their town. So Kentucky is not, Drew.

We need to be better than we've been the last few years, but I don't think we're in danger of being anywhere close to India. They've been irrelevant for a very long time, and we're in a bit of a drought here. Also, that's not Pope's problem, it's Pope's problem, that's not his fault. So I don't think we're anywhere in that conversation. Yeah. You know, the reality is, UConn's been better than us. Kansas has been better than us.

But it's not like, you know, to use a phrase, it's not like we just fell off the tart up truck. Like, we're still, we're still around and kicking. We're going to take a break and be right back here on Sequoia Drive in Hopkinsville and A Vision Glass. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy, not quite.
