Starting point is 00:03:57 It is me, Ryan, and Drew, here at KSpar. We got people from Shelby County, Marion County, Estill County, although the guy right in the front refuses to even look at us. I mean, he's got his back to us this whole time. Did you come here for a different show that's over there? And then Illinois as well. So we're all here. And after a great Christmas.
Starting point is 00:04:17 And guys, nice to see you all. Did you enjoy your holiday? It did. I hope we all had a good time with our families, man. It's kind of a special time for all of us. Our parents get a little older, so it's always a special. You always say that every year. Our parents are getting older.
Starting point is 00:04:30 I feel like you're trying to, like, kill them off. You say that. that all the time. It's like a very depressing. Like our parents are getting older. We may not get to do this again, Drew. Well, my thing is we're all getting older. Why is it just the parents? I'm getting older. Everybody's getting, we're all getting older. Everybody's getting older. So I
Starting point is 00:04:46 appreciate these times more, I think. Okay. Well, I'm glad you do. And we had, did you go to, what, Madisonville? Or did it? Finley, Ohio on Monday. Thank you all for letting me have that day off. And then I got back to Lexington and Christmas Eve and did Christmas here. Speaking of days off, Billy
Starting point is 00:05:04 had said to us a few weeks ago, do you want to work the day after Christmas? And I said, do you want me to work the day after Christmas? And he said, yeah, I think we're going to do shows. And I was like, okay, I mean, that's fine. It's one day. You know, we go to Glasgow the next day. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:05:21 That way people in town, whatever. He didn't do a show today. No, he didn't. He took today off and ran a best of after telling us that we had to work today, Drew. He just took the day off. It's a knife in our back that we're feeling right now. I will compliment him. It was a good best of.
Starting point is 00:05:35 I listened to probably 30 minutes of it without realizing it was a replay. Ryan told me when I got here, I thought he just booked Richie Farmer on the day after Christmas, but that was old conversation. I just like him going, yeah, we need to work the day after Christmas, and then he just doesn't. That's a good Billy move right there. Didn't he just have a vacation last week? He did. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:54 You did name him general manager so he can make those calls now. Well, he needs to run those by before we do it. And then Shannon is still on his six-week vacation, but Mario, nice to see. see you as well. So Christmas, Ryan, I went to Middlesboro. Yes, how'd that go? It was good.
Starting point is 00:06:12 Middlesboro's still there. Drove by the rock is still. Chain rock still up. So glad. Got to Middlesboro. We did two and a half hours of church on Christmas Eve. That's a lot of church. It's a lot of praising.
Starting point is 00:06:31 We always do 11 o'clock, like, the midnight service, which I enjoy. But my mom threw in an extra wrinkle this year. We got to go to the 6 o'clock Episcopal service, which is an hour and a half long. Oh, the Christmas doubleheader. Yeah. So, you know, some people got Ravens and Chiefs doubleheader. I got Episcopal and Disciples of Christ doubleheader.
Starting point is 00:06:57 I hadn't been to an Episcopal church in a long time. And let me just say, I find Episcopals to be very nice. people right like they they're always very friendly every I can't think of an Episcopal person I know that I don't like but you don't see a lot of them running around everywhere well they have the we have the service we go and and I excuse me because I don't know what all these things mean right like they've got a lot of but more formality right like you read things and then they read it back to you and and you know there's there's a lot of communication
Starting point is 00:07:31 There's a lot of marching in and out and people holding up crosses and books. And it's just a lot going on, right? And the Episcopal Church in Middlesbril is very small. Like, it's very small. I think it was built in like 1880. So it's a nice little small building. And because of that, there's a lot of people in there because it's a small little building, right? So they march in.
Starting point is 00:07:51 And Catholics, I think, do this too. What do they call it where one of the priests or whatever is taking the thing and just throwing incense in the air? Do you know what that's called? It's, but why do you do it? Does anybody, you don't know? It lifts up to the heavens, okay. Kind of like Ryan with the sage. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:13 So it's basically incense, right? And so they march in and then they wave the thing. And then I guess the priest, he like gets in front of the choir and he waves it and then he waves it in front. Like everybody's getting a big whiff of the incense. But I don't know if they had it on. extra large incense or extra powerful because I felt like I was at the perfume aisle in J.C. Penny when it was, it got so overpowering. And it's a very small building that, like, I started to choke.
Starting point is 00:08:49 And I was watching the kids that were carrying the cross, and they're, like, kind of choking. And so I wanted to say to the guy, like, my man, my man. I think we got it. right like you don't need to keep waving it but then he just kept waving he did he's kept marking marching back and forth and waving it and I was choking in the middle of the service like you know how you get stuff in your lungs yeah and I felt like I had God's incense in my lungs on Christmas and I was like coughing and choking and fine and the thing I mean it was a beautiful server but it just it just kept going right and when I went outside I took the biggest deep breath so I want to give a
Starting point is 00:09:30 Shout out to Episcopals, all that incense. They've got to be some of the best smelling people in the entire country. They get the Cologne kids from Abercrombie in there, just spray it all over the building. It does feel like you're walking into an Abercrombie, right? It's like a God's Abercrombie with how much. And the building was so small. And I just feel like the guy that did it is not the normal waiver guy. I think he had too much excitement.
Starting point is 00:09:55 Maybe he was like, it's Christmas Eve, we need extra of this. And it was just, it was everywhere. It's Christmas Eve. This is my big moment. This is my big moment. Let's make sure everybody gets this incense. Everybody gets to smell. I want to make sure every inch of this building gets covered. And when I got home yesterday and I unpacked my suitcase, I still smelled like that. Start tasting it in your food. I know. It's going to be the flavoring on my food for the rest of the time.
Starting point is 00:10:17 But otherwise, a good time. I got my dad his pajamas. Where did you end up going? Logans. Yeah. And I went ahead and got him like a jacket. He was wearing the same 1985 members-only jacket for about 40 years. So I decided to get him a new jacket.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Yeah, good club. And then my mom, I ended up getting a bracelet with her birthstone in the center and mine and Larry's on each side. Oh. Look at this guy. So like, what did you come up with that? See, those are the best guests, the thoughtful guess, where there's some meaning behind it. I'm proud of you right now. Yeah, the pajamas were a lot of meaning behind that.
Starting point is 00:10:56 And maybe Larry wear a new jacket. was the other meaning by it's a big deal there you get a new jacket i mean i mean that jacket took me to middle school in like in like sixth grade it literally took in the in the 66 dodge that's how i got to middle school was in that jacket so it was time for it to be phased out i want you to be prepared don't take it personal when the member's only jacket is the one he continues to wear no i'm not that's had that long of a run he's going to walk in here later on at the end of the show he's going to walk in here and he's going to have that jacket on but i know it's just for show i know by the time i next time I see him, it'll be the member's only jacket again.
Starting point is 00:11:30 When you were at Logan, did you check on your overcoat that's been there for 30 years? They did not have it. No, they did. I will say when I was at Logan's, one of the guys there said to me, he goes, I don't know if this basketball team's got it anymore. And I said, well, why do you say that? And he goes, we can't make a shot, and I think you have to make shots to win. So I'll ask you, now that you've had the Christmas holidays,
Starting point is 00:11:55 you were not here after the Ohio State game. I hid, not hit from you all. Do you, does that game make you feel at all worse about what's going to be coming the gauntlet of the SEC that's to come? I will admit it gave me slightly a little more concerned. The Clemson game did nothing for me. Me. I didn't care about that.
Starting point is 00:12:15 It's like it didn't even happen. I've already forgotten it existed. That one, though, just more of the physicality, more of maybe not being as fast, as quick as we need them at times, and then the shooting. admit my brain thought, you know, I think I had when we played the prediction game, them losing five in the SEC, I think I said. My brain was like, yeah, I might be a little optimistic. So just a slight dip. I'm not like, I don't think the sky's falling or anything, but I did have
Starting point is 00:12:38 some concerns moving forward. Yeah, I'm, I'm concerned about it. I mean, I think it's a legit, I mean, I'm not, obviously, as I said, I'm not giving up, but I am concerned about it. I'm less concerned that they miss shots. I'm concerned that they didn't get good shots than a lot of that their, you know, they, they weren't, most of their shots were contested, and they just struggled on offense. And it also further confirmed to me that, like, we're, we're going to have some teams, like, we're not going to be able to guard people. And so we're going to have to outscore them.
Starting point is 00:13:09 And, you know, I'm a little worried about, about getting shots. I listened to Pope. Pope did his, I guess, radio show Monday night before Christmas. I actually listened to it. And he basically said, you know, we got to. to re-figure out how to get guys shots. He was like, our best guys are not getting shots, and guys that need to be taking shots are taking too many,
Starting point is 00:13:31 and I got to figure out how to do it. Well, opposing teams are smart. They know who they have to shut down. They're putting their best defenders on those guys, and those guys have been unable to kind of get an open look. So what would you do? I asked you this the other day, because for the first time, after the Ohio State,
Starting point is 00:13:46 I let it creep in my mind. Well, maybe we're not that good of a shooting team as I thought we were. Maybe you... I don't think it's the shooting, although we're not shooting well. I just think we cannot get open looks. And that's my, that's my.
Starting point is 00:14:00 And it's our main guys that are having trouble getting open looks. But I don't know that they were ever guys that can really get their own shot. I mean, Lamont Butler can some. I think Jackson Robinson can some. But then I don't know if the other guys can. And I think that makes it really tough. That means they can't, you know, they went through a period. If you were to go back and watch it, I would suggest you not.
Starting point is 00:14:22 But they went through a period on six different. possessions in a row where they basically went one-on-one and they didn't score any of the times. And I just, we can't do that or we'll be down 20 like we were in that game. Yeah, so much of that offense is built around moving and cutting and making the perfect pass to a guy. And when in offense, I think Western Kentucky was the first team to do it where they just jam them and get physical and throw them off. Kentucky kind of doesn't really know how to respond when they don't have that movement
Starting point is 00:14:49 that they're so used to have. Do you think we will get better at it? I think so. except I'm slightly more concerned. I'm really worried defensively, too. I think we lack enough championship chess, to be honest. Outside of Lamont Butler, you don't think the chests are very championship.
Starting point is 00:15:04 We're giving up too many just straight line. Guys are just getting blown by outside of Butler, so I worry about that too. And then shooting, I mean, these are it's not... Six straight games, they've shot under 30% from three. That's, I mean, that is a pattern after a while. They're 115th in the country now. I mean, Kobe, when it was two of seven in that game,
Starting point is 00:15:22 that's a guy we just thought was automatic. He was shooting 70% through five games. We were old since. After five games, just to give you a sense, we were like number two in the country in threes, and now we're 114th, which means that in those five or six games since, we've been like one of the worst teams in the country at shooting threes, and we thought that would be our strength. And Saturday was the worst by far.
Starting point is 00:15:43 It was their lowest percentage and just their lowest amount of makes. I think they had four, and I mean, this team making four threes in a game. You're not beating many teams. Now, however, on the trip, two of our players got engaged. Yes, they did. Is that an indictment on marriage? The two of them... Well, you know, going to New York at Christmas time, it's kind of a special time.
Starting point is 00:16:04 I know, but like, is marriage what ultimately brings you down as a play? Well, I got to admit, I also did the engagement shoot thing in Central Park, so I did exactly what Colin Chandler did, and, you know, I felt like my next week, distractions, you're getting all the thank-yous and the excitement. Do you think either fiancé, or congratulations. So Andrew Carr did it too. Yeah. Do you think either fiancé was a little bit like guys, you could have played in different trips?
Starting point is 00:16:30 I did wonder if there's any communication. Right, because they both ended up doing it the same way. And Colin Chandler does the Instagram post first. So he gets all the attention. That's right. Andrew Carr doesn't get even attention. Oh, yeah, Andrew Carr also did it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:43 That also tells you how old our team is. I mean, we have two guys getting engaged in the middle of the season. We have a very old basketball. Brandon Garrison put out like a family Christmas card with his significant other child, dog. They're all grown up. They're all like, yeah, they're all like booed up as, you know, all seem to be in like big loving relationship. But I mean, good for them. Between Hamilton and the engagements, there could be too many distractions.
Starting point is 00:17:11 Oh, stop. Don't say that. You know that's what people say. You don't throw that into either. Neither of those things. I said this before the game. Those seats at the Richard Rogers Theater are very uncomfortable. And Amari Williams, three and a half hours in those seats,
Starting point is 00:17:25 might not been the best thing on the legs. You are literally becoming a message board poster right before our eyes. 859-280-2287. We'll take a break if you have any questions. We're making this and ask anything Thursday. We'll also talk about the best moments of 2024 in UK. There's a lot of stuff that happened in UK sports in the last year. This right after this, KSR.
Starting point is 00:17:46 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 happened. That's where SportsClice comes in. I'm Timbo.

And in recognition of mental health awareness month,
Starting point is 00:18:46 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. Tripp 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.
Starting point is 00:19:03 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. you find it important to be a good person while you hear on earth? Or are you a good person because you're afraid? Because that's two different intentions, bro.
Starting point is 00:19:20 Absolutely. And that's two different levels of trust. I want you to just really be a good person. Join me, Kear Gaines, is we have real conversations about healing, growth, fatherhood, pressure, and purpose on my new podcast, Learn the Hardway. Open your free, our Heart Radio app. Search Learn the Hardway and listen now. This week on Crimless, we're joined by our first ever guest.
Starting point is 00:19:45 Sorry, our first ever human guest. I don't think I could be in the same room with Shamrock the parrot. I'd be too nervous. That's right. The very funny Will Ferrell joins Rory Scoble and me, Josh Dean, for an episode dedicated to the many crimes committed by people also named Will Ferrell. They called to his fellow officer for the nippers. What are the nippers?
Starting point is 00:20:10 Very good question. No, I was thinking, would that be a good name for like a salad dressing? Simple assault. And it's a play on word, salt? Maybe not. I say we invest and we see. There's only one way to know. This did not amuse the cops.
Starting point is 00:20:23 By the way, normally the cops are amused, but this did not abuse the cops. Will even comes clean about some of his own crimes. I didn't get caught. You know why? If you don't want to be suspected of anything, you whistle as you walk. Listen to crime lists on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas.
Starting point is 00:20:48 And I'm C.J. Toledano. podcast point game is about defying the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game.
Starting point is 00:21:08 We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid. He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nass would get that thing.
Starting point is 00:21:32 That man, hell get to fly. He running up the court licking his fingers why he got the ball. Like, after you go through a training camp with that, Isaiah, you figure it out real quick. Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball. So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you. you get your podcasts. There are times when the mind becomes a difficult place to live. This is David Eagleman with the Inner Cosmos podcast, and for Mental Health Awareness Month, we're dedicating a series to understanding the mind when it struggles. I'm joined by doctors, researchers, and those
Starting point is 00:22:07 with lived experience. We'll talk with singer-songwriter Jewel about anxiety. I started living in my car, and then my car got stolen. I was shoplifting. I was having panic attacks. I was agoraphobic. And making it through hardship. To be present is a learned skill, and it's hard to be present. We'll talk with John Nelson about clinical depression and the brain implant that saved his life. What I learned is that procedure made me happy because I'm disease-free. And we'll talk with leading experts like Judd Brewer about anxiety and John Hirschfield about obsessive-compulsive disorder and the science of how the brain can change.
Starting point is 00:22:47 This is a month of deeply personal and honest conversations about what happens when the brain goes off course and what we can do about it. Listen to Inner Cosmos on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio 8592802287. Couple open lines. Give us a shout. We're going to go to the phones here in just a minute. Boxing Day is a holiday start in England. This is kind of nice. It was always the day. day after Christmas as a day to donate gifts to those in need. And it was a way to box up and give to those in need, which then became a national holiday. I know they're sporting events, like they're soccer.
Starting point is 00:23:32 They have games that go from the time you wake up until the time you go to bed. And now it might be the equivalent of like their Black Friday as all the stores in England put major sales on Boxing Day. But people are off work to, I like that. You have your Christmas and then you have a day for people in need. I think that's a good idea. Actually, I love the theory of it. I'd always heard about boxing day. They had no idea what it meant.
Starting point is 00:23:55 So now that I know, I think it's kind of a good idea. Yeah, you get the gifts you pretended to like, and then the next day you box them up, give them to someone. Oh, you think it's a re-gifting day. Yeah, it's what it sounded like. I mean, I mean, I think it was, I don't think the idea was. Or being generous. Yeah, I don't think of the idea was you give away the gifts you didn't want.
Starting point is 00:24:12 In addition to other gifts, you go get your own, too. But say you had a pair of socks, you didn't really want. You could pass a box on to somebody else. it, mostly day. All right. Well, I don't think that was the exact point. But one person says, Matt, the aroma, the Episcopals throw out there is for frankincense and my grandmother used to not go to Episcopal Church on Christmas Eve because she said they put
Starting point is 00:24:36 too much of it in the air that day and it would make her sick. Okay. Me and your grandmother are right. I knew they put extra in. I thought they can't do this every Sunday. They would be too much. They turned up a little bit for the holiday. Yeah, I understand.
Starting point is 00:24:48 All right, we got to talk about Dane Key. Daneke picks Nebraska, did it on Christmas Eve. I'll just tell you my reaction, and then, Ryan, I'll get yours because you know more about it than I do. I thought, we already did it on Christmas Eve, just because you don't, you know, you're not going to get a ton of attention. But I was really surprised he went to Nebraska because I kind of thought those receivers didn't really love that coach, and then he followed the coach there. And then I thought he was going to play for a championship. He's not going to win a championship at Nebraska.
Starting point is 00:25:24 So what do you think was the ultimate reason he decided to make that as school? I think Nebraska was his fourth and final visit. And I think when they went out there, they were just blown away by the facilities mainly. Their facilities are like top of the line. And then they meet this quarterback. And he's like a Patrick Mahomes quarterback. Like he's a sophomore. He plays like Mahomes.
Starting point is 00:25:46 He looks like Patrick Mahomes. But they know it's not Patrick Mahomes, right? Patrick Mahomes 2.0. Yeah. And I think they started. I mean, he did go six and six. But you look at the schedule next year, it's very favorable. They think they're going to win like nine or ten games next year.
Starting point is 00:26:02 So a lot of those factors in, and then you look at what, like Georgia, they've got like three top freshman receivers coming in. They went to the transfer portal, brought in some other receivers. So you know, you had to weigh at all. Academics plays into it. You know, how many your credit's going to transfer? school you want to graduate next May. So there's a lot. Really?
Starting point is 00:26:20 Yeah. You don't think Georgia would have gotten those credits? I think, like, you got to, for Kentucky, he needed, like, 26 credits to graduate. But at these other schools, you need, like, 42. They did because they get to get so many credits in that state, and I didn't normalize that. I feel like Georgia would have made that. You can't tell me all those people are graduating every time they go win a national championship.
Starting point is 00:26:42 I mean, listen, I root for the kid. Like, I still think Nebraska, when I said, it's corn and sadness, and it seems like they're running out of corn. I think there's a lot of truth to that. You know, I guess it's like our give-back for getting Wondell. Player to be named later, Benke. You know, what are you? But I was bummed about it.
Starting point is 00:27:02 I felt like I, just on a personal level, I felt like I could understand it more if he went to Georgia. You know, Nebraska, you're right. Their schedule looks like they could win nine, but you may remember in our fade this preview. I thought they could win nine or ten this year. It was the same schedule they had this year. they just lost all the games. Yeah, every year for Nebraska football,
Starting point is 00:27:20 and I wish Dan well, but it's the year we think we can do this. Now, I hope he has a great year there and can turn it into a good draft spot, but I was pretty surprised by the news. I thought being a championship contender would factor in a little more, I'm sure Dane believes they will be.
Starting point is 00:27:35 They won't. I kind of agree. I was expecting it to be, George. I was pretty surprised by the news, and I just took it as not having any conversations about the relationship with the coach shorts. just took it as they're closer than we realized. Yeah, I mean, that must be true.
Starting point is 00:27:51 I mean, I'm not going to say where I heard maybe the relationship wasn't the best. I never said that. You always say that. I never once said that. I'm just kidding with you. But there were certainly people who thought that, but clearly it must not be true because he, I mean, you wouldn't go if you didn't like the guy. And maybe the new OC, who we have history with, by the way.
Starting point is 00:28:16 Dana Holgerson is there now. And the night we went out in West Virginia. That's right. I stayed pretty late into the evening. He's the OC there? Dana Hoverson is. He is awesome. So I could understand meeting Dana Hogerson and getting talked into going there.
Starting point is 00:28:28 Yeah, I mean, it's far away, too. Are you going to make that drive? Yeah. Remember how it smelled, Ryan? I mean, it's so far away. Like, you remember it smells like chicken? Like, but not good chicken. Like chicken, like remains.
Starting point is 00:28:44 Remember, I can't smell, though. So I never smelled it. Well, you guys would smell until we get. Maybe Dane can't either. Maybe that's what it is. But you're going to have to make that journey. You know how long that drive is. That's a long drive.
Starting point is 00:28:55 There's direct flight from Lexington to Atlanta, from Atlanta. That's not direct. If it's through Atlanta, that's not direct. Well, I'm not direct, but they had that flight. It's a scheduled flight. That's what I'm looking for. What do you mean? It's a scheduled flight.
Starting point is 00:29:08 Like, they do it all the time from Lexington. You think there's a schedule, you're intentionally scheduled a flight from Lexington to Lincoln? They're scheduled flight from Lexington to Atlanta. there are scheduled flights from Atlanta to Lincoln. Well, that's true. I would argue, Drew, that's probably true of every city in America. But that's, by the way, those are expensive flights, too, to go through, to go like that. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:29:31 I thought we just drove. Just Nebraska. I thought we had to drive. Are you going to wear a corn husker gear? I'm going to have to get something, I believe, when I go to the game out there. Well, as far as Kentucky would have been nice to have him, I'm going to miss him, do you think they'll be able to replace him? over the course of next year. I mean, he was, he could make plays that no one else could make.
Starting point is 00:29:54 He also had cases of drops a lot, and his production was very good, but it wasn't like otherworldly. Do you think we can replace it? No, I don't think so. I mean, Dane wasn't perfect or he'd be going the NFL now, but I can think of five or six catches, where if it was draft night, they're showing those on his highlight. Oh, for sure.
Starting point is 00:30:12 He made some plays, especially along the sideline, that not many people in college football make. So I think that being able to go that next level and make the impossible catch is what I think they'll miss. It was a hard decision for him. It really was because he loves this place. He loved playing here. He really did. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:28 Well, listen, I do think it's, I do think what stinks for Mark Stubes and the staff is he is the most, probably the most known guy that could have come back. And so his decision to not come back is as much symbolic. as it is the actual, you know, the actual position. But it is going to be, it's going to be interesting to see how he does. I hope people, I'm going to pull for him. I mean, I can't pull for Nebraska because of how much I hate their fans. But I hope he does well. But I did, I freely admit, I thought it was a very odd decision to make all things considered.
Starting point is 00:31:06 We'll take a break. Be right back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. We're back. Tegi Sports Radio 859-280-2287. Matt, one person writes on the text machine, Matt Adolf Rupp liked when his players were married. He used to say it's family school, then basketball. Excuse me, I'm sorry, I read this wrong.
Starting point is 00:31:28 Adolf Rupp did not like when his players were married because he said it should be family school than basketball, but if your family is your wife that puts basketball too far down the list. Wow. Is that true? It's first of heard of that philosophy. I would have thought back in the 50s or whatever. There would have been a lot of players. that might have been married because, you know, it feels like people got married younger then, right?
Starting point is 00:31:50 Yeah, I would have guessed he'd be for it, maybe a little more stability at home? Have we ever had two married players on the team at the same time in the modern era? I mean, Derek Willis got engaged when he was here, but I can't think of anyone else. You're talking about basketball. Yeah. Yeah, I can't think of anybody that was married. Married while on the team. I've been around.
Starting point is 00:32:11 I can't remember that. I wonder if you're married, do you get, does your wife? get to take the team flight. It's true. I don't know. One person writes, Matt. Didn't you all have a run-in with Dana Hoagerson at West Virginia? I'm trying to remember what that story was.
Starting point is 00:32:28 So Kentucky played West Virginia in basketball in 2016, right, in the SEC whatever challenge. Correct. It was at West Virginia. That was a Kevin Knox game. We all went the day before we. We did our remote at the sleep outfitters. And then that night we went to a bar in Morgantown. And remember, Kentucky was playing West Virginia Saturday night.
Starting point is 00:32:56 There was a party at the bar for West Virginia boosters. And Dana Holgerson, who was the football coach, and Bobby Huggins, who was a basketball coach at the time, they were both there. And like, they were going at it. Dana Hulgerson was tending bar and making drinks. Bob Huggins was everywhere, and you may remember, then the next day on the pregame show, I was like, we're going to win. Bob Huggins was out at the bar last night. There's no way he could be focused because Bob Huggins stayed out later than I did at the bar.
Starting point is 00:33:32 And like four days later, I got a letter from his lawyer, Bob Huggins' lawyer in the mail demanding a cease and desist to stop saying that Bob Huggins, was at the bar the night before the game. So I called up the attorney and I said, hey, because he clearly didn't know I was an attorney, right? He just thought he was just sending it. So I called him and I said, hey, got this letter. Why are you demanding I not say it?
Starting point is 00:34:02 And he said, because it's not true. And I said, I saw him, right? I mean, you can't say it's not true. I saw him. And he said, well, you're not allowed to say that. And I said, and that was when I threw in the, you know, I am a lawyer. And then he quickly stumbled and he was like, well, we just would rather you not say it. And it was a perfect example of how lawyers will send something to somebody to try to scare them.
Starting point is 00:34:26 And then you can stop it. But Huggins threatened to sue me just for saying I saw him at the bar the night before the game, which we did. It's a pretty easy guy to recognize around Morgantown, unless they're having a Bob Huggins look-a-like contest. No, it was definitely him. It was definitely him. And the bar was, what, had a couple hundred people in there. We all saw him. Everybody saw him in there that night.
Starting point is 00:34:48 But it made me think that at West Virginia, because Holgerson was the same way, that they almost had like a bubble where those coaches could kind of do whatever they wanted, and it was sort of known you just don't ever talk about it. And I felt like maybe we broke the bubble by saying that we saw him. We didn't say he was out of control. I was just like he was out to one in the morning or whatever the night before a game. I walked into that bar not having one Dana Holgerson thought when I left. I'm a fan for life.
Starting point is 00:35:14 That guy knows how to have a good time. Huggins was a little more tame than Hulgerson. Hulgerson, he did not have to coach the next day. Hulgerson was literally running the bar. Who's up next? Kevin is up next. Kevin, go ahead, Kevin. Hello?
Starting point is 00:35:30 Yes. Can you hear me? Yes. Okay, so I was just wondering, if you had somebody like an outside investor or whatever, would you consider franchising your restaurant and open up a location in Louisville? Or do you think that would be in fact?
Starting point is 00:35:49 Yeah, I don't think a location. At KS Bar, I do not think it would work in Louisville. Because the problem with a place, so for a place like this, the problem is in Louisville, Louisville fans just on principle will not go. And Kentucky fans will go when Kentucky plays, but that's only like 40 nights a year, 45 nights a year, and you have to find a way to do the rest of it. There was a Kentucky bar there in Louisville for a long time.
Starting point is 00:36:16 Yeah, for a couple years. Yeah, and it had the same problem. They'd be fine during games, but they couldn't get anybody to come otherwise. So that's why we wouldn't do it in Louisville. Okay. Appreciate it. If I was going to say, if I win the mega millions tomorrow, I was going to give you a call. Well, you guys, listen, if you want to do it, I'll take your money.
Starting point is 00:36:35 I appreciate the call. I just think it would be a hard thing. If we would ever do it, I'd want to do it in a city like, I don't know, pick a city. that doesn't have a sports bar and then you make it the sports bar for that town. Bowling Green has one now, but a city like that. It'd be a long Uber home for me from Louisville, too. I like hanging out at KS. Bar, but having to go to Louisville for our events and everything, that'd be a little grinding.
Starting point is 00:36:59 Mark Pope said in his show the other night, he said that Amari Williams and he almost insinuated like they have a hard time talking to each other. Did you hear his comments there? He almost insinuated. I think somebody was asking about Amari's body language and stuff. And he basically said, I love Amari. Amari's a great kid, but we're still trying to figure out how to communicate with each other. And we don't totally know exactly how to do that, which I found sort of an interesting comment
Starting point is 00:37:34 and might explain a little bit, Drew, why we've seen some games where he doesn't play as much, even though it seems like maybe he should be in at times. I've thought this kind of all year, but because I only see a Mario Williams when he's playing basketball, I don't really know his personality, what he's like otherwise. But when things aren't going well, you can kind of see it on his face, him more than anyone on the team. He slouches a little bit, effort disappears. He seems a guy that when it's going well, you know, he's the best teammate in the
Starting point is 00:38:02 world having fun, but when just a little bit goes wrong, it looks like they lose him for a little while. He turns one bad play into two a lot. He'll have a bad play. He'll slouch his head down, and then that'll lead to another bad play. Sometimes you'll see miss a shot, then get beat on defense or get beat on defense, and then come down and he'll try to do too much. So it was interesting.
Starting point is 00:38:23 That's the first time I've heard Pope sort of almost acknowledge. Look, yeah, I just haven't totally been able to connect with him. Is it a little concerning knowing this? Here we're in the middle of the – we're approaching the middle of the season, almost conference play, and he's having an issue like that with your starting center? Well, my view is it probably happens a lot. It's just rarely coaches admit it. I mean, you know, remember what was it?
Starting point is 00:38:46 Our national championship team in 2012, with five games left in the season, we saw John Cal Perry calling him a selfish blank-blank, and we still ended up winning the national championship. I would think, Drew, that stuff happens a lot. It's just Pope maybe acknowledges it more than others. Yeah, and sure we're 12 games into the year. but really, I mean, Amari Williams didn't move to Kentucky until June. So him and Pope as a coach-player relationship is still kind of new.
Starting point is 00:39:14 There's been a lot of games, but I could understand if they're still figuring each other out at this stage. Hopefully they figured out soon. But, I mean, they're going through growing pains like anyone else on that roster still is. It is clear that while he drives me crazy sometimes on offense, this team is significantly worse defensively when he's not in, especially protecting the rim. They can't, Brandon Garrison is as athletic as he is, and sometimes he can help you offensively. He just, for a guy that's as big as he is, he gets beat at the rim a lot, and Amari is a much better rim protector than Garrison. You know, Amari's plus minus numbers are some of the best on the team, as weird as that seems.
Starting point is 00:39:55 Naturally, he's got one of the best rebounding percentages, too. So he's really doing just about everything you want him to, except when he tries to dribble, when he loses his emotions a little bit. He's even been making free throws. You take away just those plays where he tries to dribble too much outside of those plays. There's very little he does wrong. Great passer. Great attacks the rebound board.
Starting point is 00:40:16 Yeah, he is a good passer, but it's just frustrating. On offense, I think we have to have him on defense, and then I think he clogs up our offense, and that combination makes it a little difficult. Who's next? Joe is up next. Joe, go ahead, Joe. Thanks a lot, gentlemen.
Starting point is 00:40:34 Quickly, every now and then, Matt, I have this problem. It's called the Notre Dame Irish in football. Now, make no mistake, Matt. If Kentucky's playing in Notre Dame, I'm 100% behind the wildcast. But come New Year's Eve, Notre Dame is playing Georgia. Am I going to be a bad SEC fan? Well, first of all, you don't have to root for SEC teams. Here's what I realized a long time ago.
Starting point is 00:41:02 They don't root for us. In the NCAA final four, Alabama and Georgia teams, their fans don't root for Kentucky to win the national championship. As a matter of fact, they usually root against us. So I don't think we have to feel like we have to root for them in football. Do you agree with that? I 100% agree with that. I think our fans feel like they have to root. In football, we feel that way.
Starting point is 00:41:23 In football, but they don't root for us in basketball. Like, they don't, I mean, how many Kentucky fans, you don't see SEC fans pulling for us in basketball? So if you like Notre Dame, I say for Notre Dame, it doesn't make you a bad SEC fan. Wow, I'm 72 years old. You finally helped me out, Matt. I don't have to go to my parish priest to ask for forgiveness for being a bad person. Well, you're not a bad person. I appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:41:50 But, like, I'm not rooting for Tennessee. I don't care who they play unless I don't know what I do against Louisville. But I'm not, I mean, like this year, if they, I'm rooting for Tennessee. them in the NCAA tournament. I was sitting here during trivia screaming for middle Tennessee state against Tennessee. I'm not going to root for them in any game. No, there are scenarios like that Ohio State game. If it had been any SEC team but Tennessee, I probably would have cheered for the conference.
Starting point is 00:42:15 But overall, no, I don't just side with the conference. I'm going to be for Notre Dame. I'll probably have a Notre Dame shirt on. The Georgia kids barking at us when we're down there. You know, I think about them. I want them to lose. I don't get anything in the conference. Georgia fans are low-key, some of the rudest.
Starting point is 00:42:29 You know, I mean, nobody's ruder than Tennessee fans, but if you've ever been to a game at Georgia, the way they bark, like, have any of you ever been to a game at Georgia? This sounds like an exaggeration, but they bark at you like, I mean, I'm not making this up. Like, let's just take you, sir. Let's say you were with me and you were a Georgia fan. Drew would walk by and you would get on your knees
Starting point is 00:42:54 and you would, like, act like you're a dog and go, ha, ha, ha. At noon on the front of you. Friday before the game. Like with, like in Starbucks, you know, I mean, it's a really weird thing they do. Yeah, so I'm not just going to hope those idiots win a championship because we're in the same conference. It does seem odd, like you said, though, in football, the majority of our fan base will root for
Starting point is 00:43:15 Georgia tonight just because we can, just because they're an SEC school. There's a scenario. If they're playing Ohio State, I would root for them. But I'm not just going to root for them to root for them. Yeah. A stop over paying for sunglasses. Let's check out Shady Ray's. An independent American-owned company started right here in Kentucky.
Starting point is 00:43:30 They got shades for every activity, running, fishing, biking, golfing. A lot of you sent me pictures on the text machine. Have you had gotten Shadyrays in your stocking? You can still get them at Shadyrays.com. There's one in Lexington, one in Louisville. Check it out. Shady Rays. By the way, when I went shopping on the 23rd, Nicholsville Road has never had that many people.
Starting point is 00:43:54 It'll be like that today, too, I would assume, with all the return. turns and stuff. I could not believe how many people, they say the mall's dead. It's not dead the day before Christmas, I can tell you that. We'll take a break. Be right back. KSR. Last night, a blown call changed a game.

Starting point is 00:45:05 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. Tripp 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.
Starting point is 00:45:28 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, or are you a good person because you're afraid? Because that's two different intentions, bro. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:45:42 And that's two different levels of trust. I want you to just really be a good person. Join me, Kear Gaines, as we have real conversations about healing, growth, fatherhood, pressure, and purpose on my new podcast, learn the hard way.

Starting point is 00:46:02 This week on Crimless, we're joined by our first ever guest. Sorry, our first ever human guest. I don't think I could be in the same room with Shamrock the parrot. I'd be too nervous. That's right. The very funny Will Ferrell joins Rory Scovel and me, Josh Dean, for an episode dedicated to the many crimes committed by people also named Will Ferrell. They called to his fellow officer for the nippers. What are the nippers?
Starting point is 00:46:31 Very good question. No, I was thinking, would that be a good name for like a salad dressing? Simple assault. And it's a play on word, salt? Maybe not. I say we invest and we see. There's only one way to know. This did not amuse the cops.
Starting point is 00:46:45 By the way, normally the cops are amused, but this did not abuse the cops. Will even comes clean about some of his own crimes. I didn't get caught. You know why? If you don't want to be suspected of anything, you whistle as you walk. Listen to Crime List on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano, and our podcast, Point Game is about defying the odds.
Starting point is 00:47:13 Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows. Without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenge. challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the
Starting point is 00:47:37 lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid. He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nass would get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He running up the court, licking his fingers, why he got the bar. Like, after you go through a training camp with that, I said?
Starting point is 00:48:01 You figure it out real quick. Oh, yeah. Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball. So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. There are times when the mind becomes a difficult place to live. This is David Eagleman with the Inner Cosmos podcast. And for Mental Health Awareness Month, we're dedicating a series to understanding the mind when it struggles. I'm joined by doctors, researchers, and those with lived experience.
Starting point is 00:48:30 We'll talk with singer-songwriter Jewel about anxiety. I started living in my car, and then my car got stolen. I was shoplifting. I was having panic attacks. I was agoraphobic. And making it through hardship. To be present is a learned skill, and it's hard to be present. We'll talk with John Nelson about clinical depression and the brain implant that saved his life.
Starting point is 00:48:53 What I learned is that procedure made me happy because I'm disease-free. And we'll talk with leading experts. like Judd Brewer about anxiety and John Hirschfield about obsessive-compulsive disorder and the science of how the brain can change. This is a month of deeply personal and honest conversations
Starting point is 00:49:12 about what happens when the brain goes off course and what we can do about it. Listen to Inner Cosmos on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio 859-28027. Jim Laranaga, the coach of Miami, is apparently going to step down today. Wow.
Starting point is 00:49:39 Don't know if that means he won't finish the year or will not, but, I mean, he was in the Final Four two years ago. Legendary college basketball coach. They've been really bad this year, though. They've lost something like eight games, and they, I think you're just seeing, Drew, like the older generation of guys, like college basketball is moving to a young set of coaches. I mean, you could argue Cal and Patino are the last two old guys left and Izzo, I guess, and I'd say all three of those will be gone in the next two or three years,
Starting point is 00:50:13 and then it's like a new generation of young coaches. Yeah, and I don't know what's going on with him, specifically hearing it for the first time, but they have had a horrible year. They just lost to Mount St. Mary's in overtime as like eight out of nine games they've lost. Remember, they should have beaten Arkansas. They had Arkansas big, and then Arkansas came back and beat him. But he's pretty amazing coach if his career's ending. Took George Mason to the Final Four?
Starting point is 00:50:43 People forget that. I mean, George Mason to the Final Four. Took Miami to the Final Four? Probably had a chance to win it that year. Wasn't able to do it, but he was a great coach. I would say he's got to be one of the most among active coaches, has top five probably most wins. I would think that's probably true.
Starting point is 00:51:01 Yeah. 859-280-2287. One person writes, Matt, do we know what's going to happen with Caleb Wilson? That's the top 10 recruit looking at Kentucky. I think he announced Drew he was going to decide in January. Yeah, it's coming up around the corner. Kentucky's still in a good spot.
Starting point is 00:51:18 There's people that will tell you North Carolina has made it a little closer than some Kentucky fans believe it is. Because for a while, we were just waiting on a commitment. I still think they're a leader. but that should finally be coming around the corner soon with him saying he's got a dating month. I think you liked Squid Game, didn't you? I did like Squid Game 2 comes out today. Oh, is it today?
Starting point is 00:51:38 Yes, are you going to be Squid Gaming it up? I know it's a freaky movie, but I could not stop watching it. So yes, I will pick it up and probably watch it by the weekend. The whole thing? Probably. All right. Yeah, I've got it on my list to do tonight. I'm excited to watch it.
Starting point is 00:51:53 I love the first one ready for round two. Did you watch any of the Netflix game? yesterday? I did, and it almost made me sad. I used to be the guy who would watch all four or five NBA games. I didn't even think to turn on basketball yesterday. I think the NFL is going to steal Christmas Day from them. I enjoyed just a new production from Netflix, new voices. It felt like they hired 30 people to cover those two games. Even though they were blowouts, I enjoyed just the experience. Yeah, I didn't end up watching either one of them, but the basketball, that was really a thing for a long time. watch basketball on Christmas Day, and I think that's ended.
Starting point is 00:52:30 I think the NFL just took it from them and just said, because the NFL's bigger than everything. So it's like, sorry. I did like, I saw. They did. I did see on ESPN 2. They had a game that they, I don't know if you all saw this, they turned the players into like Mickey Mouse characters. Yeah. I have to say, watching Donald Duck break people down.
Starting point is 00:52:53 What was a bad? I did enjoy watching Donald Duck do his thing. It was a big day for basketball, even though I'm the fan the NBA is afraid of, that just watches the NFL. I mean, Tyrese Maxie had a great game. There was a buzzer-beater with the Lakers. Wymah had 42 and 20 in his Christmas debut. Likers and the Warriors were a good game. But it does feel like, Ryan, that the NBA owning Christmas Day is over.
Starting point is 00:53:16 I'm like Drew. Set on the couch with my dad, we watched nothing but football. Steelers, Chiefs, and then watched the Ravens, Texas after that. My favorite moment, though, was when Andy Reed dressed up as Santa Claus and came in the locker room. after the game. That was your favorite moment? Yeah. So not Beyonce?
Starting point is 00:53:31 Actually, I didn't see the Beyonce halftime show. Yeah, she came out. She sang Dolly Parton. She had a truck that I think would probably be the dream truck of, well, you're from Estill County. Don't you think somebody would like a pickup truck that's all denim? That's exactly what she came out. She came out in.
Starting point is 00:53:49 Exactly. She came out in a denim truck. And I was thinking, now that is a mountain truck right there. I heard she actually rented it from there. Yeah, I've never heard of anybody having a denim truck before. We need to get that. If we wear the denim uniforms this year, we need to get that truck up here somehow. Yeah, I wonder how much they pay.
Starting point is 00:54:07 How much you think they paid her to do that? She put on, like, a Super Bowl halftime show. A lot. It's probably a lot of money. A number that my brain can't even come. You want to know why your prices go up on your Netflix subscription? That halftime show was one reason. Who's next?
Starting point is 00:54:21 Lee is up next. Lee, go ahead, Lee. Hey, Dane going Nebraska, at least we don't have to play against them during the season. It's true. I trust Eddie Grant and Vince Morrow to bring in transfer portal guys that can help us. You never know. I mean, we didn't know who our basketball players really were going to be, and that turned that okay. And I know you all keep saying that the schedule is going to be tougher next year.
Starting point is 00:54:47 We're playing our tougher opponents at home, and if the ideal is to win every game, I would rather play our tougher opponents at home. We got a better shot there. We have no shot to be Tennessee at Tennessee, but we have a shot here. I agree with you on that. And playing Auburn on the road. I totally agree with you on that. If you're good, and I appreciate the call, if you're good, the way the schedule is next year is how you want it.
Starting point is 00:55:10 If you're good in football and you play the good teams at home, that's how you want it. The problem is there's no gimmee games next year. Like there are no games where like it should have been this year with Vandy, even though we didn't win, and South Carolina, even though we didn't win, you're playing the sort of toss-up games on the road. So I think the caller's right, Drew. If we're good, that schedule next year's perfect. But if we're not good, it could be terrible.
Starting point is 00:55:37 It's just hard to expect Kentucky football winning at home against any team after the last two years. Now you've got to beat the good ones. Now you've got to beat the good ones. We'll take a break. Come back here at KSbar. Hour number two, Kentucky Sports Radio. Another podcast from some SNL late-night comedy guy,
