Now, here's Matt Jones. Welcome back. Hour number two, Kentucky Sports Radio, 859-2287. Text machine, 772-7525-4. all the guys here today. Good text coming on the text machine. One person writes, Matt, I think a $500,000 party,

you could get a DJ that all the college students like say you're going to have free food and drink. Maybe they'd stay off the court. Drew's saying, no, they wouldn't. But, you know, I don't know. It's a good reasonable thing to say. Problem is if you publicize that before, Ryan, then the other team's going to be like,

oh, they're already planning the post-game party. and I think it would make it tough. Yeah, a little locker room banter there could backfire on you if you're trying to plan a victory party after the game for you even play somebody. Yeah. One person writes, Matt, what's the percentage chance you're worried we lose car for the year? You know, it's not high for the year, but I think Drew he could be out, again, this is no knowledge. This is no inside info.

But I could see being out a few weeks, maybe coming back. a week or two before the SEC tournament. What do you think? I wouldn't think the year. I mean, he just played 20 minutes against Alabama, 20 minutes before that. It's his last season of college basketball. But that Pope comment wasn't very comforting.

I don't expect to see him soon, but I think we'll see him eventually. I haven't heard anything in any direction. All I'm going off is Pope's tone after that game. But the fact that he just played a week ago and hasn't had any significant changes to it, it's just a lingering back issue that needs time. I'm hopeful we'll see him eventually.

I hope we will too. Now we're going to go to the phone here in just a second. Let's go over yesterday. Now we get an Eagles chief Super Bowl for the second time in the last three years. Eagles won easily. So, you know, not a whole lot to say about it except Shannon when the game was over. I don't know. Why is it in Philly they like to climb light poles?

I don't know. What is it? What is that about Philly? They grease the poles down and people still do it. Why do they do that? They're the absolute worst people on the planet, Philadelphia Eagles fans. Whoa. I mean, you've heard me talk about how much I hate Philadelphia,

and especially the Eagles fans. It's a shame he didn't fall down. You're a Green Bay fan. Why do you care so much about Philly? Like, why is that so? I don't care about Philly. I hate Philly. I just think they're the worst fan base on the planet.

Well, you clearly care about them. No, I don't. But you have to care to hate. somebody. Like, if you don't care, you wouldn't hate them. I mean, I guess if you want to break it down like that. But regardless, to my point, Philadelphia Eagles fans are the worst. I didn't want to have to pull for Kansas City, but now I have no other option. Well, you know, I kind of, I mean, I like Kansas City. I've, I've, bears are my favorite team. But in terms of the teams have been good in recent years, I really

like my homes. I just think he's so much fun to watch. I know people think he gets calls. But, you know, all great players got calls. And I also think they've made it to where now people just complain about anything that happens with him. You know, I mean, they're just like, whatever happens now. It was a bad call. I like him. I like watching them play. And the thing is, you just know.

Ryan, you just know at the end of the game. So when the game was tied, I knew he'd go down there and score. I thought he'd get a touchdown. He ended up only getting a field goal. And then Josh Allen, as great as he is, and he is great. He had a chance to do the exact same thing, and then he doesn't get it.

And then the chiefs get it. They need two first downs. Guess what? On third down, he goes and throws for two first downs. Like, you just, he's inevitable. Mahomes is like, we're watching the best. He's the best. And I kind of appreciate,

I didn't really appreciate it with Brady. I kind of didn't like Brady. But I do appreciate watching how good Mahomes is. I know Joe Burrow and the Bengals beat him in Kansas City, but you just don't beat Mahomes. in that situation, what, six out of seven times now he's won that game. He's just, he's amazing. And I'm like you, man, when he got the ball and the game was tied,

I put the bet on Kansas City to score because I knew they were going to score. You knew they were going to score. I was surprised they didn't score a touchdown. I mean, he has been the starter, Drew, for seven years. He's been a full-time starter for seven years. They have made the AFC championship all seven years, and they've made the Super Bowl five of those seven years. That's amazing.

He's just absolutely astounding. Yeah, everything you're saying is in fact. That's why we knew going into it. The Chiefs were going to win that game. I'm not a Chiefs hater. I do suffer from Chiefs in the Super Bowl exhaustion, but you just knew watching that game, even though Josh Allen was making plays when he had opportunities.

It's just the Chiefs at home, when Mahomes has the ball, you know what's going to happen. They said, what was that stat like 16 and 0 and one possession games or something? It was ridiculous. They have won 12. 12 straight 1 possession games and 18 of their last 19. That's insane, man.

That's just stupid. That is just absolutely stupid. You guys need to reset in Lexington real quick. You're getting some feedback. But it is just absolutely stupid how good he is. And, you know, Shannon, I know everybody likes to hate on him. And I know people, you know, do they make calls? But like he still makes the plays every single time.

And Andy Reid seems like a fun guy, doesn't he? Oh, yeah. seem like a dude you would like. I love Andy Reed, but you're right. I mean, down the stretch, he's money. He just, Patrick Mahomes, there's nobody better when it comes to just in the clutch coming through. Now, two things about the game before I go to the phone. Number one, Shannon, Travis Kelsey, I don't understand Travis Kelsey, right? Like I always thought he was a moron. And then a couple years ago, his podcast came out. And if you ever hear his clips on the podcast, he sounds pretty smart on the podcast. His brother.

does too. And I thought, man, I always thought this dude was like a frat boy moron, but maybe he's smart. And then he started dating Taylor Swift. And I was like, well, maybe he's like becoming an adult. And then they win, and he gets on the stage and he's like, get down tonight, get down tonight. And everybody's just looking at him like, what are you doing? You're 35 years old. I can't figure him out. Can you figure him out at all? Like, is he, is he an idiot? Is he smart? What is he? I think he's just a complete goober. But is there any? Everybody living a better life than him right now? I mean, three straight trips to the Super Bowl, Dayton, Taylor Swift.

I mean, come on. $120 million podcast deal? I mean, yeah. That's pretty good. Life's pretty good. That's a pretty good life, I would think, if you're Travis Kelsey. Yeah, you won't find any Travis Kelsey hate for me. Sometimes you just got tip your cap and say that guy is, he's winning at life.

And in all directions, Travis Kelsey seems to be doing things right and loving it. He used to sing Beastie Boys, which is a little corny. I guess last night he changed his song. But, I mean, he's in the Super Bowl again. He's maybe potentially going to marry one of the richest people on the planet. What do I have to say about him? So is he smarter? Is he an idiot, though?

Is he smarter? Is he an idiot? I can't tell. Or is he in the middle. I don't think you can get to where he is in life and call him an idiot. You can't fall up that many times. Now, there's moments where you look at him and he's a goofball, but I don't think you get to be Travis Kelsey by being an idiot.

You're probably right. Now, the other thing, and Ryan, I've said this for years. The game yesterday, another example. It's a fourth and one. They try to run a tush bush. Josh Allen, some people think he got it. Some people think he didn't. But they ended up deciding because this middle-aged man waddles onto the field.

One of them's in one place. The other one's in the other place. They don't know which one to go with. They end up marking him short. And I continue, they bring out the chains and they measure it, which is the stupidest thing in man. mankind. And I say once again, we have all this technology in the world. If you watch soccer, if you watch soccer, if you watch tennis, they can put chips, right? Like there's a way to do it,

and yet the NFL still refuses to do it. They have the referee run out there like he's trying to run in a straight line and he never runs in a straight line. Is this not absurd? They have these massive games that come down to inches and the way they decide first downs is one of the most archaic things I've ever seen in my life. And that was a huge play. You're right. There's no way

those officials saw where that ball should be spotted. They have no idea. They have no idea. Even the 15 cameras you couldn't even see where the ball was supposed to be spotted. So yeah, they have to look to a way to put a chip in it. That way they know for sure if it crosses a plane on the field. So we don't have to worry about these guys walking

those chains out there and measuring it. I watched it over and over, Shannon, and I couldn't tell whether he did or not. You can't really see the ball for sure. And, like, I think he probably got it, but you couldn't really tell. But it's just what? Just put a chip in the ball. They do it in soccer. They do it in soccer, and they determine whether or not it goes over the line.

Why can't they do it in this? Yeah, to your credit, you've been screaming about this for years now. They have the technology to do it. I don't understand why they just don't do it at this point. I feel like Adam Carolla. who always says about the goalpost, why don't they just make them higher? Because sometimes the ball goes over the top and you don't know whether it's in. And he's always like, just make them a little bit higher.

Same thing here. Just put the ball, just put a chip in the ball. Like we argue over the spot, it would just take that away. That was a big play, too, man. It was big play. But then somebody would be out of a job. The chain gang wouldn't have a job anymore. The chain, we don't need.

Listen, I'm all for people keeping their job. But I feel like those two, you know what, those two people can find a different work. The average age of the chain gang is like 78 anyway. Is there a rule that you have to be old? Have you ever seen a young fit person run out? No, it's always someone's grandpa. And then it comes down to the AFC championship. And that's also true in high school games.

It's like you cannot be on the chain gang unless you're also in AARP. Those are the rules. AARP chain game. That's it. Who's next? Charlene. Charlene, how are you? Hey, how you doing, Matt, and guys?

Good, good. So, you know, what Mark Pope has done, like, he has way exceeded our expectations. It's remarkable what he's done. And I'm beginning to wonder if we, the BBN, may be part of the problem, because it's very disheartening. Think of all the players we have that until Mark Pope called him

and asked him to come play here, never thought they'd play at Kentucky. Now they're seeing how, oh, the BBN loves you when you're winning, but when you start choking, they're going to start criticizing you. Well, wait a little more great. Well, let me pause for a second. First of all, I have heard almost no one. I'm not saying there's no one, but I've heard almost no one say anything like

Mark Pope shouldn't be the coach. Mark Pope can't do that. Like, I haven't heard any of that. criticism though I said this on the post game show we have to stop being this case that someone that like you cannot have any criticism without actually

also supporting the person I can support someone and still criticize them and still say you know what I think Lamont Butler's the most important person on the team but he's screwed up at the end of the game Are we just supposed to, even after a loss, Charlene, say, man, we're great, yeah, we lost, but man, we're great.

Like, that's not how people. No, sir, not at all. But listen, when you say Kobe Brea can't play defense, but he can't. He hasn't shown us a lick of defense yet, but who can go work with them and help that kid learn how to play big defense? All right, so let's, let's, you would, you don't like that if I say he can't play defense.

you want me to say he can't play a lick of defense that's better no no that's not what I haven't to say I'm just saying I feel like everybody says he can't play defense and maybe we're the problem maybe we heard it's confident I think pretty much a lot of those guys probably listen to you on the radio I don't know I doubt you know words matter words really matter I think we can give them more grace and confidence but what do you okay you're seeing my

like a sweet person. And I genuinely want to ask you, if I watch a player, forget about Kobe Bray, any player, and his weakness is a particular thing, do you just, you just don't want me to say that? No, I don't, no, no, no, I'm not saying that at all. Let me be clear. I'm not because I still have the same criticisms, right? It's like, why was Noah standing down there under the basket at the end of the game Saturday. Okay, so what do you want me? Okay, but that might have, but Charlene, that might hurt Noah's feelings if he hears it. Like, I don't know what, it's okay. I'm not saying Noah can't play defense. I'm saying he made a mistake. That's the difference. I appreciate the call. I'm not saying he can't play. I'm saying he made a mistake.

I just kind of feel like we're playing without money to have as many wins as we have right now against the competition that we've had. And yeah, it's a little disappointing. And we're all super nervous about seeing Lord of Baltimore. But it's just, you know. I understand. I appreciate the call. I might have to go to break. Okay, I got it.

I appreciate the call. I'm not trying to cut you off, but we got to go to break. I, this is Kentucky. Part of the deal here. You get all the praise in the world, and then you're going to get critical. That's part of the deal. And if, as Mark Pope himself looked at me on the couch and said, the day we stop expecting greatness, we're not Kentucky.

I that's true that doesn't mean you be rude I don't think we're ever rude about players but like people's weaknesses in their game that's part of it like that's part of the deal that's part of why you come here it's also part of why you get the NIO money you get the exposure it's part of the deal we'll take a break be right back it's KSR 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 Sports Slice comes in. I'm Timbo. Every episode, we're cutting through the noise, breaking down the plays, the controversies, and the stories behind the headlines. We go straight to the source, the athlete themselves,

their locker room stories, their reactions, the stuff nobody gets to hear. The laughs, the drama, the triumphs, the moments that never make the highlight real. From viral moments to historic games, from buzzer beaters to controversial calls, we break it down, give you context and ask the questions everybody wants answered.

This linebacker, this linebacker walks up to me, He goes, hey, ref, my mom wants you to wave at her. What? Time out. Quarterback on office blue of 42. Hey, ref, my mama want you to wave at her. What? Hey, Miss Parker.

Listen to the Cliverts show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, 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 defining 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. 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 Reed. 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 stopped by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nash would get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He running up the court, licking his fingers, why he got the ball. Like, 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 Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Jared Adano. You might know me as that loud guy who yells out, help on the internet. Help somebody, please!

Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. Text machine 772 7754-5-254. One person writes, Matt, if you put the chip in the ball, how would it know when the knee is down? Well, first of all, Shannon, I'm not a chip guy, right? But I would assume, I don't know this, but I would assume they could freeze the video to see the knee down. And then the chip would say at that instance, where the ball was. Or how about this?

We just put a chip in every NFL player's knee. and then that way we'll know exactly when a need is up. Elon's going to have us all with Chips at some point. I think that's probably going to be what happens. But I feel like Drew, I'm not a scientist, like Mitch McConnell, but I would assume that like you could have it

to where freeze frame the video, his knees down, then the chip would say that's where the ball was at that instant. Right? Wouldn't that work? Yeah, we can start slow. It doesn't even have to be when the knees down. The ref can still spot the ball for starters and then we'll just know where he spot. We can just cut out the running out there with the chain,

right away. And then we'll focus more on was the spot right, where was the knee down? But for starters, let's just throw those chains in the river and let, I'm sorry about the employment situation here, but four or fiveish less people a game need to be running out on the field. That can't be a full-time job anyway, right? I mean, they all appear to be in retirement as it is. So let's start with the minimum. Too much, I can tell you that. One person writes, Matt, do we think that we will win one of these four games. Two against Tennessee, home Auburn, Road, Alabama. Yeah, Ryan, we'll win one of them at least, maybe even two.

I mean, I don't think we'll win them all, and I think we'll lose, probably, I think we'll lose to Alabama. I think we beat Tennessee at home, and then probably lose Tennessee on the road, and then the Auburn games a toss-up. But, you know, we're four and one in Knoxville since COVID, which is crazy, if you think about it. And they seem to beat us at Rupp. They're kind of entrading. We went down. there and they went up here. Drew and I were talking during the break. There's a game coming where they're going to shoot lights out again and they're going to

beat a good team. It's coming. Is it going to be against one of these teams? I hope so. It's coming. My prediction is our big win at home is we're going to beat Auburn at home. That's my prediction. Write that down, Sheddon. We're beating Auburn. That's going to be the one. Auburn's going to be ranked number one or number two and we're going to beat him at home. That's going to happen. Now, I still think we're going to have another bad loss coming, like at Oklahoma or something like that, or at Missouri. But we're winning. We're beating Auburn.

Who's next? Hang on, I got the salary for the chain gang members. Would you like to take a guess how much? Whatever it is, it's too much. I'm going to say they make $100 a game. It's 90 per hour, and it's $187,673 on average for a season. No, if they make $90 an hour, they don't make $187. They're not getting paid annually.

They're only doing 20 games a year. AI is never wrong. Yeah, I'm going to go to the booth on them making $100. I can see $90 an hour. I can't see $187,000. While these games go on for so long, they're trying to make the chain game more money. I'm not buying that. $90 an hour is still a lot.

The AFC Championship is decided by a guy that makes $100 an hour. A billion dollar sport. Here, Terry, run out here with your chain. and tell us who's got the ball. Who's next? Here's your $100. Diane. Diane.

Go ahead, Diane. First time caller. Who are? What's up, Diane? I want to know is William really wanting to play basketball for Kentucky? Because to me, he wants to play catch-up up and down the floor. When the team is already at either end, he's always dragging behind. Who are you saying?

asking about? Is his last name William? Oh, you're talking about Amari. Yes, yes, Amari Williams. Now, I've noticed that, and his attitude sometimes not too good. And did Vanderbilt refuse

to let Kentucky team take the court for Warren? Two good questions. I appreciate the call. First of all, I sit on the postgame show, Ryan. I don't mean to be mean. Amari Williams has done a lot of good stuff, and the numbers are against what I'm saying, and I'm a numbers guy. Okay, so I always choose the numbers over the naked eye.

So I will freely grant you that the numbers say Amari is one of the top rebounders in the country, and I know I'm going against the numbers. So I'm saying I'm being a hypocrite. He is still one of the most frustrating players I can remember here. I feel like I watch plays, and I go, what are you doing? He jumped up at the end to challenge a layup, but he didn't even put up his hands. He just jumped up in the air. I have no idea.

And then he dropped so many basketballs. He dropped so many basketballs. And I don't know why he frustrates me so much, but Ryan, he does. If I'm being honest, he really does. And I know he's trying hard. I'm sure he's a wonderful kid. But do you see what I'm saying? Yeah, the numbers on he's rebounding.

are great, but they don't include the rebounds that he should have got that he didn't get. You know, that's what they mean. I don't know how they come up with the numbers. Do you know, I mean, you say that with confidence, but do you know how these rebounding efficiency numbers are correlated? No idea. Okay. See, I knew he was saying that drew confidently.

And you may be right, Ryan, I don't know what they include. But, I mean, you guys, am I wrong? Like, does he frustrate you all like he frustrates me? I called him my favorite player before the summer started I'm holding true to that but he's very frustrating and I think I know the exact play you're talking about

I believe Vandy even took the lead late in the game with it he was in position to block a layup right where he needed to be and then the dude just jumped and he didn't really make any effort to stop him and the guy

laid it in and it was like well if you're right there do something I mean it wasn't really in foul trouble he just watched I can't remember the Vandy player but it was a big bucket Amar was right there

and he was like he did nothing. And now the next play, he then got to block, Shannon, the next play. But that play, so it's weird, like he makes plays. It's not like he doesn't do anything. But, you know, when he dropped that, I know you, like, he's

not dropping it on purpose, but when he had that rebound, when Butler missed that layup and it fell right in his hands. And if he just catches it, he gets a wide open dunk and he just drops it out of bounds. That'd be strong with the ball. It's tough.

Hey, this isn't the little, I can't believe this commercial. It's not the little itty-bitty teeny tiny bowl. It's the Super Bowl. That's right. So super. It's not little bitty, itty, teeny weeny tiny bowl. It's the Super Bowl. Get in on the action at Draft King's Sportsbook,

All right, so Drew, the second question that woman had was about the shoot-around. I saw Jack Pilgrim's thing on it, but I didn't see the update. So tell me, did we have a shoot-around? Did we not? And if we didn't, was it Vandy's fault? What happened? On the radio broadcast, they alluded to their not being a shoot-around. But then Jimmy Dykes replied to Jack's tweet,

because Jack was just tweeting what he heard on the radio broadcast. I'm not mistaken. And Jimmy said that's not true. So it seems to be conflicting. Short answers, I don't know the answer, but it almost sounded like Vandy gave UK the option because the scheduling and UK just passed because they were wanting to change on it.

They definitely didn't do one, but they might have had a slight reason why that Jack or Tom said on radio. So they didn't do a shooter. They didn't do a shoot-around. That we at least know. So what happened was Vandy changed their own shoot-around time and then gave Kentucky the option to do it either before or after

and then they declined to do it. They already had their routine set, I guess. So do they get to just change the time? Like, do you just get to change your reservation? Sure. But that doesn't seem very nice. Reminds me of that Seinfeld thing where he has a reservation to rent a car and he goes and gets it. And she said, and he's like, and she's like, we don't have your reservation.

He said, well, I made it. And she said, well, yes, but that doesn't guarantee you the car. And he's like, what's the point of a reservation? Anyone can take a reservation. You actually have to reserve the car. If they reserve you a time, if you don't get that time, Shannon, that seems a little nefarious from your dorky, nerdy Commodore. I mean, they could have done it before. They could have done it after?

What do we, like, scheduling down to the minute everything that Kentucky's doing? Yes. They're on the road. Who was it that did that? We said, like, down to the minute. That was Buzz. Buzz Williams. He schedules what he's going to do every minute of his day.

So is that Mark Pope also? I mean, I don't know. I mean, I don't. I don't know that it makes the hugest difference in the world. But Vandy's got to come here. Payback. There you go. Yeah.

You know what time? Sorry we lock the doors. Their shoot around is it, their shoot around is it 2.30 a.m. in Winchester. Sorry, Vandy. Sorry, Andy. Sorry, Randy. The slide schedule change. George Rogers Clark High School, 2.30 a.m.

That's your shoot around. They don't need one. You'll get it. Well, that's okay. I want to update you three on something. You know, I like to keep you up on the news. Ryan, this feels like a story that you need to be kept up on. Okay, I'm anxious to hear it.

What do you know about AI? Like if Ryan were asked by a student, hopefully that would never happen. But if Ryan were asked by a student, Uncle Ryan, tell me what you know about AI. What would you say? Well, MJ, it's artificial intelligence, and it is completely taking over the world. It can write stories. It can make up videos. And before I die, it's going to be doing everything that we are living for, all of our jobs.

It's going to take over everything. Everything that we're living for? Like our whole basis of existence will be gone. Is that what you're saying? KSR will be all AI at some point. The AIR. Well, he sounds awesome, isn't he? Okay.

All right. So, Ryan, in your current life, how do you use AI? I don't think I use it at all. Okay. All right. So you think it's going to take over your entire existence, but it still hasn't even made up anything you do yet. Correct. Yes. I'm AI free at the moment.

So over the weekend, Ryan, again, I have no idea what I'm talking about. Okay. I only know slightly more than Ryan. But did you hear about the story that happened over the weekend? that rock the AI world, Ryan? They were bought out. Somebody bought out the other person. Who was bought out?

You don't know what you have, what do you mean they were bought out? Who's that? I heard a news story on it this morning. No. The Chinese, I think, came up with a technology that's better than all the other technology. Okay, that's a little different than they were bought out. But yes. Okay.

So these companies, Navidia and all. all these companies have been spending billions upon billions of dollars to create AI. And part of the reason our stock market has risen to record highs is all these people are putting money in AI, AI, AI, right? And then this Chinese company, what was there, what's their name, Drew, deep, deep seek, deep seek, deep seek. Deep seek comes along. And Shannon, I don't know the details, but they basically over the weekend put out their AI thing. They made it open source, which means anybody can get it. You can just take it, right?

It's not protected. And some people think it's better than anything the chat GPTs and all have put out. That for free, they put out this software that's better than all this software, these companies have spent all this money on. And it's freaking everybody out because everybody has thrown money into AI. And they're like, wait a minute, this kid in China just for free, maybe made something better. And the stock market, I don't know if you've looked at it,

like it's tanking, all those techs got stocks, because they're like, oh, no, what if AI just became free for everybody? Well, first of all, I don't want to look at the stocks if you say they're going down like that. Well, no, just the tech ones. I don't know if the stock market in general is going down, but like Navidia. AI is already getting so good and so quickly, too. So I'm just afraid of what it's going to be able to do. Like if this one's even better than what we've seen already, we knew it was going to advance,

but it seems like it's on the fast track to get there quickly. Well, I don't know anything about it. I've given you all I know. But it apparently, and Ryan, I'm shocked at how much you knew. How did you know what you knew? I just heard a report, a news report on it this morning, and it was like the lead story. Like, so I really must be a big deal if this technology is now kind of overseeing, everything else that's already been developed.

Yes. Here's what's scary about it, Shannon. They say the AI is so smart that it is coming up with its future gains. You see what I'm saying? Like rather than waiting for people to invent and make it better, it's inventing everything to make it better. Like it's like it's making itself bigger every time. I don't even know what that means. But it does, it sounds a little scary, right? It's getting smarter on its own without a human having to program it to be. smarter is what it sounds like it's learning on its own it's learning on its own it's learning on its own and they're claiming they built all this for like five million dollars which they said they did the whole thing for six million dollars which i think which we're calling so calling their bluff for now it'll be a bad thing if they're right who's we who's we america and invidia so what in another couple months somebody else going to invent something that's even better than this no it's going to invent itself invent itself. It's going to invent itself. I don't know what I'm talking about, just for the record.

People who have scientific backgrounds have got to be rolling their eyes. I have no idea what I'm talking about. But I am telling you that, like, for free now, apparently there's something that's better than everything. We can't go backwards either, is the problem too. Like, once the two-paste is out. I know. It's going to eat us at some point. Like, you're worried about aliens. I'm worried about these computers just going, we don't need these humans anymore.

more. Why in the world are they here? Yep. And that's the end of us. Yeah. All right. With that, who's next on the phone? Teresa. Teresa. Is that three straight female callers? That's got to be a record. Teresa, go ahead, Teresa. I'm really impressed. I can't believe it's all these ladies calling in. Hey, good morning. Random call calling from the highlands in Louisville, Kentucky. my son turned 21 last Thursday. So his birthday is actually 1, 2, 3, 4. And he said, Mom, where are you going to take me to eat?

And I said, we are going to KSR bar. He had never been. And I will tell you, he told me it was one of the best burgers he's ever had. He had the beer cheese burger. Just had to share. That's good. That's good. Well, that's very nice.

Have you happy 21st to your son. and a very smart choice, Teresa. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. The beer cheeseburger, very good. Don't eat more than one a week. Your heart will explode. Because it's very good.

If you're more than one than day, then you're not going to make it to see the AI kill us. But it is very good. Just know it's like a lot of food and it's, you know, sort of artery clogging. Ryan, did you do so much about... When it's good, no. Like, I don't...

When you order the beer cheeseburger, you don't think you're getting light food, Shadden. You kind of know what you're getting. Ryan, tell me about Stockton Mortgage. Oh, Stockton Mortgage, you know that's a good time to buy. It's always a good time to buy. And all the early reports say in the market is going to turn around in 2025. So Stockton Mortgage is the mortgage lender headquartered here in Kentucky. Their slogan, find your home, we'll take care of the rest.

One person writes on the text machine, Matt, nothing has ever happened on KSR that surprised me more than Ryan knowing something about the news story you brought up about that. I was a little surprising. I'm kind of proud of you, Ryan.

You like, when do you listen to the news? As I'm getting up in the morning, I turn on the pre-show, and there's always a little news hit before the pre-show before I get naked and get the shower. So do you get all your news from the news hit before the pre-show? And then the pre-show. Yeah, they kind of get me updated. That first 15 seconds, 15 minutes, I'm ready to go.

So really, Billy and shit. What are there like a major news recently? He legitimately heard from the pre-show, like something big? What was that? Just a month ago? I don't remember what it was. He was like, Trump won? I found out because no, he said it on the pre-show.

That really was it. That's what it was. I went to bed before the results were announced. The pre-show told me that next morning. You didn't even feel the need when you woke up to find out. I will say this. I give you credit. One of the things I do love about you, you have a life that's so simple and pure that we have a presidential race.

And the next morning, Shannon, it doesn't even occur to him to figure out who won. Yep. He's like, no matter who won, son's going to rise. I'm going to get up. I'm going to do Ryan Lemon things. I don't care. You know what? Rather than turning on the news to find out if Trump won, I'll just listen to Shannon and Billy.

They'll probably tell me. Unbelievable. To 280, 2287. We'll take a break and be right back. KSR. Last night, a blown call changed the game. This morning, the internet lost its mind. Highlights are trending, opinions are flying, and nobody's telling you exactly what happened.

This is Clivert Taylor the 4th. And on my podcast, The Cliverts show, I'm bringing you conversations about all kinds of stuff. Like being an internet famous referee. We're in the middle of a game. linebacker, this linebacker walks up to me, he goes, hey, ref, my mom wants you to wave at her. What?

Time out. Quarterback on office blue with 42. Hey, rec, my mama want you to wave at her. What? Where's she at? Hey, Ms. Parker. Listen to the Clifford show on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. What's up, fam?

This Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano and our 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.

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 Rand. 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 Nash would get that thing. That man, hell get the flying.

He running up the court, licking his fingers why he got the ball. Like, 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 Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. story I've told myself about love or relationships can then shape my behavior, and that can lead me to sabotage the possibility of connection.

One person, right, or no, excuse me, first. ServePro, you know, all over the country, there have been, unfortunately, a lot of disasters, fires in L.A., hurricane, floods, et cetera. But serve pro, their disaster national storm team has been responding with over 2,000 franchises all over. They come in and make it like it never even happened, whether you have floods, electrical shortages, or whatever. ServePro is a one-stop shop when disaster strikes. We hope you don't need us. do 1-800 serve pro that's s-e-r-v-pr-o dot com did you see melwood art center did you see that big flood that they had that video shannon no i didn't see it yeah i mean i assume the video is

correct honestly i don't know but there was a i don't think it why why would you put an a i video of the melwood arts center flooding but it was it was it looked awful and i thought to myself they're going to need serve pro to clean that up it was like a valve burst or something in the you know have ever been to that mellwood with Artisan? Yeah. Drew and I've been there. What?

They always had that party during Derby. Isn't that when we always go? Yeah, Phillies and Stallions. Yeah, Phillies and Stallions. That's right. One person writes, Matt, not surprised Vanderbilt, did not let us in. They're the Commodores, not the a Commodores. Badoon.

I liked it. Shannon liked it. I thought that was a funny joke. I'm not going to like it. Stupid, but it made me like it. made me laugh. One person says, Matt, that woman is correct. Our fan base can be too harsh. If you don't believe me, just look at your comments on Twitter from people under your posts and on Facebook on post. Yeah, but Drew, you can't use that as the standard, right? Because people are, I've said

this a lot, they're the worst version of themselves online. Whatever your worst trade is, when you're online, you bring it out more. So if you're hateful, you'll be more hateful online. If you're like me and your argumentative, you'll be more argumentative online. Take whatever trade it is you have. You'll be a worse version of that online. But also, like, it's not a good representation. You know, that's partially why I'm not 100% sure what happened Saturday night at the game against Arkansas, because if you look online, you'll assume everybody's going to boo cow.

But, like, maybe that won't be how it is in real life. You know, at the end of the Cal era, if you just read the comments under my post, you would think everyone in Big Blue Nation was mad at me and thought I was running Cal off and they love Cal. And then when Pope had the thing, and I believed it. I was like, I guess the fan base and I are just not connecting anymore. And then we went to the press conference and they said my name and I got a nice reaction. I was like, oh, online is not real. So like, I hope the players realize if they are online and see it.

The comments you see online, it feels like a lot of people, but it's usually like the same 40 or 50 people. And it is not, Drew, I think representative of the fan base of a whole at all. Just think about one game at KS Bar, how many people are in that bar, are more people than comment on any post of mine on Twitter. So, like, you have to just have a perspective. Yeah, social media is full of jerks. And once you just put in your brain that there are people on social media just out there to get a reaction, they don't even believe some of the stuff they say. They're leaving a comment to either anger the person they're replying to or generate people replying to them.

There's a viral thing right now of a recruit where a Kentucky fan DM'd them and the mom's upset. Kentucky fans did this. All right, that is one anonymous person. They don't have a photo. I mean, that shouldn't happen. And that's awful. But that is not, say, a peep about the rest of Kentucky fans. that's just one jerk on the internet and unfortunately the internet's got more than one of them.

And if your standard is, did one person in a fan base say something bad, that'll be every fan base. Because every fan base has a jerk. Every, everything has a jerk. Like that's just, that's just kind of life. And as somebody told me a long time ago, and you've probably heard me say this 50 times, anytime somebody's really nasty online, they're not a happy person. Because Shannon, as you of what I've talked about. Think about the times you've been happy in your life. Did you want to go online and say something nasty to somebody? No, not at all. No. If your life is fulfilled, the last thing you'd want to do is go be nasty to someone online. So generally speaking, what I try to remember is when someone's a jerk online, it's because they're not a very happy person in general,

and this is how they're expressing it. And you just go, man, I hope things get better for that person because people, you know, and it includes famous people. Famous people that are trolls on line, they're probably unhappy in their life as well. Who's next? Let's go to Brian. Brian, go ahead, Brian. Hello, do you all hear me? Yes, go ahead.

Hello? Yes, go ahead. You've got to turn your radio down, turn your radio down, and no Bluetooth, just normal conversation. All right, go ahead. Okay. Is that better? Yes.

Okay, one thing about that game, we were down two points. Lamont Butler is trying to pass a little small bounce pass to Amari Williams. They got knocked away back to him. Well, let's try that again, and then we get it stolen. First of all, if we're down two points, why are we throwing the ball to Amari at the top of the key? Well, I agree with you that he shouldn't have done it. Now, the reason they probably were doing it is they run a lot of their offense through Amari at the top of the key. He does a little handoffs.

I mean, that's a big part of what they do. But once the pass didn't go through the first time, I'm with you. I don't know why I felt like he needed to force it the second time. Yeah, I mean, if you got it back, you were fortunate to get it back the first time. Back it back out. Let's do something else. I mean, why are we going to the same? You know, it just didn't make sense to me.

And I was ready to punch the TV at that point. Yeah, me too. My guess, and I appreciate to call him, my guess, Ryan, is Pope had a play out of a timeout. Remember, we were coming out of a timeout. Pope had a play out of the timeout, and they wanted to run the play, and it required Amari to get the ball there, and they just didn't improvise if it ended up getting cut off. That's exactly, I think, the way it played out. But the Butler's got to be just smarter at that point, you know.

He made two kind of lackadaisical passes back to back in that situation. That knows how it was a costly turnover, too, man. Costly turnover, huge turnover. I mean, those two turnovers, the one where Butler was dribbling, and then that one, they were massive. And then Oway tried to make a play, he lost it, and then ultimately that was probably the game. We didn't mention, too, by the way, Drew, that free throw where we had four guys on the free throw line and they had one and they ended up getting the ball. They got the rebound.

But, I mean, like, that was an example just of the effort at the end of the game. Lose balls, that rebound, of all things that Kentucky hasn't done well this year, the effort on stuff like that is what drives me the craziest. Yeah, it's, well, we play Tennessee tomorrow. No rest for the weary. Time to get back to it. Thank you all very much. We will see you later.

We are in studio again tomorrow. pregame show. There we'll have Tuesday. This has been Kentucky Sports Radio. Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy, not quite.
