Not yet. Because I haven't opened it yet. Got some talking to do. It's Monday, Monday after UK game and Super Bowl, so we'll get to that later.

A Vision Auto Glass Text Machine is 772-745254 in this edition. It's sponsored by the T.J. Smith Law of us. If you call T.J., he'll make them pay. All right, so guys, let's just start with this. Should we start UK South Carolina or Super Bowl? I will let the three of you decide which of those two topics we do first. It's up to you. So, Ryan, you do the first vote.

Well, when we were getting ready, I said, man, that South Carolina game seems like it was a month ago. So I'm going to go Super Bowl. You're going to go Super Bowl. All right, Shannon, would you like to start UK South Carolina or Super Bowl? I think the Super Bowl was an absolute dud. I think we should start Kentucky, South Carolina. All right, so the jury that means it all comes down to you. You have to decide which one you want to start with.

You're a radio pro. What do you think is the way to go? I love both of the first. of these events, but I think the Super Bowl is still fresh. I mean, it hadn't been a full day since it happened, so let's just keep riding that wave while it's on everyone's mind. So we're going to do the Super Bowl. We'll get to UK, South Carolina.

Here's the thing about the Super Bowl. I think we can all agree the game was boring. So because the game was boring, I don't have a lot of game thoughts. I'll give a couple quick ones. It was nice to see that Patrick Mahomes is a human. You know? Like, I mean, it's always felt like he would win every game for the rest of time. He'd won 17 straight one-score games.

I guess that's still true because this wasn't a one-score game. They got absolutely blown out. He looked like you out there, Ryan. And maybe it was nice to see that he's a human being, and we don't have to act like he's made of magic anymore. They could not get a first down in the first half. They couldn't get past midfield in the first half. It was amazing to watch the offense struggle the way it did.

Yeah, I've always wondered what Mahomes would look like if he played for the Titans, and that was it. I mean, that offensive line, I mean, he wasn't good. The interceptions were bad, but he had no chance. That Eagles front four, I think, should have just shared the MVP award. They dominated them from the very beginning. That was actually very impressive to watch against the team that's so good. On Sunday mornings, you know, we have Herm Edwards every week.

And I've decided Herm Edwards is kind of becoming like the older black uncle that I never had. He's my own. ESPN's like. I love her. Like we, for someone I've only met in person one time, I feel like we're good friends. And every time he comes on, during the breaks, he gives me like life advice. He'll be like, watch out for them ladies. They'll take your wallet and they'll smile.

And then you'll be like, where's my wallet? And then I don't know what that means. And I'll go, okay, Herm, that makes sense to me. He said, when he came on our show on Sunday, he was like, here's the only thing to watch, Matt. He goes, you'll be a football expert if you listen to this. First two possessions the chiefs get. If the Eagles can rush four and get to him, game over, Eagles blowout. If they're able to protect and the Eagles have to send the blitz, Chiefs win, blowout.

He was like, that's the game. Just see if the Eagles front four can get to him without blitzing. And then they did. He nailed it. And he nailed it. And it was a blowout. He called it. And so I feel like now he's magic instead of my homes.

That was a good pick. And even like people that believe the Chiefs have come back magic, it was so dominant. I mean, it was over early. I mean, really, if they don't get that flag, it could have been 14-0 early, and it's really putting them away. I just, I knew the Eagles had a good shot. I mean, it was a one-point spread. But to win it like that and to not even really use Sequin that much. I know.

He didn't even have that big. Yeah. Absolutely nuts. That was how it played out. It was, I stopped watching it at halftime. I can't remember the last time I haven't watched the second half of Super. I didn't watch it because it was all over. Like, what was the point?

You know, and I wasn't going to watch TV for commercials. I had 30 bets in, so I was pretty entertained. You did 30 bet? Yes. On draft kings? Yes. So were you... I have a spreadsheet with their odds, what I paid, what I lost.

So were you overall up or down? Well, here's... It's actually... This is a wild ride. When the fourth quarter started, O for 30 was on the table. Oh, wow. I won two, and then I hit a parlay. My Titans parlay, 15 to 1 with a minute to go.

Hopkins scored. With several hundred dollars in bets, I think I lost $3. So all that. All because Hopkins caught that touchdown. But, I mean, it was... It keeps you entertaining. When you make that many events. All that, and you could have just given me $3.

I wasted a Sunday building the spreadsheet. But shout out to the Titans parli. You got to have fun. You got to have fun. All right. So the game, we can all agree. Dutt. So we've got to talk about it.

You know, ultimately the Super Bowl is about all the other stuff. Correct. There's no sporting event that I actually care less about the game than the Super Bowl. I care about all the other things. So I wrote down the things I want to talk about in order. Let's start with the America, the Beautiful, and the National Anthem. America the Beautiful. I am a strong believer

should be our national anthem. It's better than the national anthem. Do you agree with that? It kind of stirs up some feelings inside you, doesn't it? It's just better. It's better. And if you think about it, it's just a better. It's, oh, beautiful for spacious skies.

Or amber waves of grain? Come on, I'm in, right there. You're in. They bring out trombone shorty. First of all, I like to live in a country where there's a guy called trombone. I got to tell you, Shannon, when his parents are, named him trombone shorty, they better be happy he played the trombone. That's right. Yeah.

Because if he, what if he wanted to play the clarinet? What happens then? I feel like that you've already been predetermined what you're going to do in life. You're done at that point. And I'd never heard of him. Did you know who he was? Still don't know who he is. What do you mean you still don't know who he is? He was on the thing. Yeah, but I know nothing about him. Okay. But you saw. Yeah.

All right. So now you know who he is. You know who he is now. I don't know his history than I should say. Well, I mean, I don't know his background. I'm just saying he brought out the trombone and br br br br br br br br brum. and he did the whole New Orleans thing. I thought it was really good. It was kind of remind me. It's not as good as the Marvin Gay one,

but I like Drew. He did his own, he and that woman, I don't know the woman's name, but they did their own unique thing and I really liked it. Did you like trombone shorty? I did.

Also, he's a New Orleans guy. I like the New Orleans flair. That's such a fun city and a great place to hold the event. I like that they worked him into it as well. Yeah, you got to like a good, and by the way, he's going to be at Bourbon Beyond,

Shannon. Oh, yeah. He's part of Bourbonne and Beyond. Awesome. So now I'm going to go see Trombone Shorty. Unfortunately, when you play next to a guy named Trombone Shorty, I'm going to forget the other person's name. True. What was her name?

Laurel's Ingalls Wilder? Was that? No. I don't think it was it. It's slipping my mind. I played trombone. So Trombone was kind of out there represented. You played trombone.

I don't think I knew that. Second chair at Browning Springs Middle School. I couldn't crack first chair. Nick Jones was good, man. Nick Jones was tough. But no, he was out there living my seventh grade dream. Yeah. But the woman, is she a,

Christian singer? I don't know. But they were good. I like their whole thing. Then they have Harry Conick. I think there's a rule that when you go to New Orleans, you have to have Harry Connick. If you don't have Harry Connick, then you're not even in New Orleans. They bring him out.

They just walked Master P out, but he didn't do anything. Did he? No one said, uh, nothing. He didn't do anything. You were just like, there's Master P. I love when they bring the HBCU bands, right? You're dancing. But Harry Conic, he's just sitting there praying every year.

Can they do something in New Orleans? so I can get back on TV. Shannon, Harry Connick, no person is on TV more with the city than Harry Connick Jr. They hide him away and they roll him out anytime. Like there's an event like that. And by the way, he still looks like he did 35 years ago. Oh, hasn't aged a day, has he? You know, and he, what were the movie?

He was a movie star for a while. Yeah, he was. Well, first, let's not forget he was on Hey, Kentucky with Matt Jones. That's why he was. I forgot when I interviewed him in my purple suit. Yeah. We were at Derby. and I completely forgot that.

He looked just like he does now. That dude doesn't age. He does not age. But he was like, was he an Independence Day? Not sure. Yeah, he was. He was on Will & Grace for a long time. He was in a movie where it was a horror movie and he was like the surprising horror movie guy.

I think it was maybe Dwight Yolkham was in that movie too. Is there a movie called Panic Room? There is a panic room. That's got a... I think it has Dwight Yolkham. No, maybe not Harry Connich Jr. But he's in a movie where he's like a serial killer or something like that. Anyway, it was nice to see him again.

The National Anthem? Did you like the National Anthem? I did. Who was it? Jean Pepiste? Yeah, I've heard of that guy. I wouldn't know anything he sings, but I've heard of him. Yeah.

So he was good. They put Trump on during that. That was a good time to put him on because you can't boo the National Anthem. True. Right. So he got, he got cheers. I didn't think about that. You're right.

Well, no, I mean, that's actually, if you were going to put a president on, you should put him on during the national. Yes. And that was good. And he was, like, saluting. They showed Taylor Swift, the crowd, I think because she's a chief's person, that didn't go really well. And they didn't put her on during the national anthem. No, she didn't. I would have said, put me on during the national anthem, and they didn't do that.

She grew up Die Hard Eagles and Flip. That's a pretty easy boo for Philly fans. Oh, I didn't know she was a die-hard Eagles fan. Yeah, she grew up, her and her dad wearing Eagles gear. So that was an easy boo for the Philly people in New Orleans. Scorebug. Why on the Super Bowl do they decide to debut a new scorebug that looks like it was made on an Atari in 1984? Why did they do that?

You know, somewhere, all the people that have eyes on that, I can't believe somebody let that slide. Like, hey, man, maybe we need to tweak this a little bit. This is not very good because they had to get approval after approval after approval. I thought their old one was good. Why did they switch it? I don't know. Now, somebody said that maybe the reason is they did it to work on cell phone screens. That more and more people are watching the game like on their cell phone,

and it packed in and looked better on the cell phone screen. I have no idea if that's true. But otherwise, it was awful. Don't debut new things at the Super Bowl. I didn't mind how they took away some clutter. The font was just really big. Maybe you take the font down a little bit. I was all right with it being kind of transparent around the stuff,

but it was a lot different. I just felt like I was watching TechMobile. I wanted to watch the, you know, it feels like modern, and that was not modern. The commercials. I only got through the first half, so if there were ones in the second half, I couldn't get. The ones that stuck out to me, they redid when Harry met Sally. That was a big hit. Did I hear Shannon, you and Billy didn't know what Harry met Sally was?

I know what it is. I've never seen the movie, so I didn't really get the reference. That's crazy. I mean, Billy, I get because he's younger, but Shannon, Harry met Sally like that. That was... Came out when I was six. No, no. It was later than that.

And you were six in 89? Yeah. It's right down to watch it. I thought everybody knew, though, that scene. That's a famous scene. Where she's like doing the thing in the restaurant. Yeah. I guess they never heard that.

And the old lady says, I want what she's having. And then they brought Sidney Sweeney in. That was a good way to switch it. What was it for? What was the commercial for? mayonnaise. That's right. Manase.

That's right. I don't know what that had to do with mayonnaise, but I think it was mayonnaise. What other commercials stuck out besides ours? There was one that spoke to me because it was Little Caesars and eyebrows. It was the Eugene Levy where his eyebrows go off his head and fly around landing on random things.

I love Little Caesars. I just felt like that was tailored to me. Shannon, I'm with you. The seal is a seal thing was kind of strange. And it made me remember that seal existed. We haven't seen him in a long time. I looked up in saw it. seal's face on a seal I thought I'd overdosed on gummies again but I was like man what a strange

commercial that was seal on a seal yeah that's yeah well you drew mentioned the flying eyebrows there was the flying mustache for the pringles commercial I really enjoyed the breast cancer commercial because it showed boobs for like 30 seconds we've had conversations about this oh that was my favorite I mean you are a grown man look even Mario did you see Mario turn the camera Mario turned the camera off and walked away. Well, not using that one. I mean, Mario is 25, and even he knows. Also, the messaging in that one was pretty serious.

That's a serious message. Yeah. Caught my attention. All right, back to what we were talking about. What do you think of the last? Well, you may have not have seen it. You didn't watch second half. David Beckham and Matt Damon. I didn't see it.

That was a good commercial. Dunkin' Donuts. How did Bill Belichick's girlfriend get in the commercial? No kidding. mean like unbelievable to me this woman who whose name i don't even know do you know her name uh no no i have no i have no idea i've no i've no she's got to get her name out there because if they're not going to stay together forever she's got to get her name out there because i don't know what her name is but when that commercial came at i was like how did she get in the commercial do you think belichick

said let's put her in like i man's got a lot of power he can just say put her in there mind blowing to me that she ended up in the commercial. Like, that's like a picture you take at a friend's wedding and then you might get to, like, not date anymore 20 years later and you're like, oh, this is a picture of all my friends on their wedding day and this person's in it too. I wonder if that's going to happen. Like, he's going to be 90s. He's going to be like, she ruined my Dunkin' Donuts commercial.

I don't know that she's ruining much for Bill. Just credit them for knowing what's topical. I mean, they're one of the biggest stories outside of the actual game in the last couple weeks, and they got on it to include her. I can't believe, Shannon, she got on the commercial. I can't. Well, I think Bill could probably just say, hey, if you don't put her in there, then I'm not going to do the commercial.

Like I said, the guy's got some power at this point. Credit to her. I mean, she has gone from meets old man on plane to dating him to now being in commercials. Her next step, though, is she's got to make it to where we know her name, because none of us know her name right now. I just looked it up. Do you want to know her name or do you want to know her name? or do you want to know there's Bill Belichick's girlfriend?

Jordan Hudson. Jordan Hudson. I got the first letter. Well, I don't know if I'm going to remember that. I think I'm just going to keep saying Bill Bel-I-I could not believe she was on that commercial. Drew and Shannon, I think it was got a boss moved by Billichick. Probably said, yeah, you can have me, but you also want, you've got to have her too. Yeah.

It's a package too. He knows the controversy around it. He's like, you know what? I don't care. He doesn't seem to care about it at all since he put her in the thing. Any other commercials? I liked Matthew McCona. Hey and the Uber Eats when he's like trying to name the bills.

He's like Buffalo Bill. We need a team name. He does stuff like that. But I noticed, I don't know that there was a single commercial without a celebrity. I get why they do it, but it's like everyone. I'm like, all right, he's in a movie. And there were celebrities that I kind of forgot existed. Like, there's Willem Defoe.

Like he's in a, I think he was in a pickleball commercial. And it seems like the whole cast of Schis Creek, I want to be careful how I say that, they were in like commercials the whole night. Did that show retroactively become the biggest show of all time? It felt like they were in like the first four consecutively too. I thought they had completely taken it over right away. But it just showed, I mean, they're all fine, but it used to be a little more clever writing.

Now it's like how much can we pay Tom Cruise to talk about this or that? I did like Shane Gillis and all the Bud Light stuff. Yeah, I don't know if I saw that. But, well, so that was good. And we did, we need it. We still got to talk about the halftime show. We had a commercial. Of course, we'll talk about UK Ole Miss.

No more, Ryan. We're going to take a break. 859-280-2287. This is 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. Sports Slice brings you closer to the action with stories told by the people who live them. Listen to Sports Slice on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. And for more, follow Timbo Slices Life 12 in the TikTok podcast. network on TikTok. What's up, guys? This is Clever Taylor the 4th.

And on my podcast, The Clivert 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. This linebacker, this guy, 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, rep, my mama want you to wave at her. What? What? Where's he at? Hey, Miss Parker.

Listen to the Cliverts show on the I Heart 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. 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 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 first. flying. 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 Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Why is everyone obsessed with romance right now? Like everyone. Your coworker who, quote unquote, doesn't read, is reading romance. Your mom, book talk. The entire internet. I'm Sanjana Basker. I'm Tyler McCall. And this is Radio 831, a romance podcast. The books, the tropes, the adaptations, the drama, the discourse.

And what all of it says about how we actually love, yearn, and obsess. We're going to Weathering Heights. Which, for the record, is not a romance novel. And yet it has haunted the romance genre for 200 years. We're getting into dark romance, age gaps. certain Russian hockey players. And sentient objects. In love, which is a thing.

That's the kind of conversation we're having every episode. Listen to the Radio 831 podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Seal. I really, Shannon, didn't know Seal was still alive. I mean, I didn't think he was dead. But I just hadn't thought about him. When's the last time you had thought about Seal? 25, 30 years ago maybe?

Yeah. Back in the 90s, man, he was everything. A huge. Kiss for Marose was one of the biggest songs. One of my favorite songs in the 90s. Oh, you really liked that song. I loved it. I'd have seen you as a kiss for Marose fan.

I was telling Billy, you know, because everybody was calling me a boomer. And I go, I'm such a boomer. That back in the day, you know, you had to, like, wait for the radio to play the song and try to catch it on your cassette tape. Yeah. I had to do that with Kiss for Marose. I did that song. I did that with the Knoxville Pop Station, top 9 at 9.

I would get it and get, I would put the cassette in and try to hit record. and try to hit record to try to get smells like teen spirit on it or whatever. You'd always miss the first few seconds of it. Always miss it. But then when you got it, you felt like you'd really done something. The movie Drew was copycat, the Harry Connick Jr. He's great in that. Like, he's really scary in it.

But he looks the same now as he did in that movie, honestly. Yeah, you can go back like 20 years. That dude just hasn't aged. He just doesn't age. And, like, everybody's mother loved Harry Clinton. Oh, yes. Like everyone's mother. I don't care who you are out there.

Mario, you don't know this. Your mother loved Harry Connie Jr. I bet she did. You ask. She'll say, that white boy got moves. You wait and see. I'm telling you, everybody loves here. Everybody's mom loves Harry Connich.

To your point, I watched the first half of my parents' house, my mom wasn't really saying much. Like, oh, Harry Connick's on the TV. Everybody's mom loves Harry Connick Jr. It's just what it is. One person writes, Matt, Taylor Swift would have gotten booed at any point, people don't like Taylor Swift. Stop it.

Lots of people do. Matter of fact, she made more money than anyone on the earth with her tour. I think people like, I didn't realize she was an Eagles fan. Plus, it's, you know, the Super Bowl, you got all these dudes, it's a woman. It's Philly. It's, yeah, Philly's going to boot. They booed Santa. So, I mean, of course they're going to boot.

That's why she was laughing. She knew exactly what they were doing. Yeah. All right. So then you get to a halftime show. 20 seconds into the halftime show, Drew, I knew I was like, well, Fox News has its content for the next two weeks. Like, you just knew this is going to be something that's going to make people mad.

Well, I thought about the halftime show was I realized that even though I've heard of Kendrick Lamar for 15 years, I didn't know any of his songs. I mean, I know the one song. Yeah. They not like us. They not like us. But then I guess the other songs were his great hit. and I didn't know any of them, Drew, which made me realize Kendrick Lamar might be the most famous artist

that I don't know any of the music he does. Got a lot of Grammys, got a lot of Pulitzer. Did you know those songs? Like, you're more into that than me. I like Kendrick. He left off a few I like. I don't think he did swimming pools or don't kill my vibe going way back. Do you recognize humble?

Be humble. I didn't recognize any of it. Be humble. The only one I knew was the big song that's been out recently. I'm pretty familiar with his catalog. but it was all about the one song last night. It was all about not like us. So as I was watching it, I was like, oh, there's the American flag.

I was able to figure that out. I was like Samuel L. Jackson is Uncle Sam. Yes. That's interesting. I don't know why that's happening. Then I became convinced I'd seen Serena Williams. Yeah. You know?

So that was an interesting moment because I was like, I know that's Serena Williams, but they didn't seem to, Shannon, they didn't seem to act like it was Serena. William's like she was only on the screen for like two or three seconds because it wasn't it was it was her I thought it was her it was her what are you talking about Shannon you talking about on the screen okay I thought you're talking about like the performer no serena was dancing on she was part of the performance well maybe I guess I missed that then okay I thought that was gonna make fun of me I thought that was Siza because it wasn't it was Serena that was Serena that was the highlight That was the whole thing is that she was, that's classic Shannon, making fun and he's not even right.

Serena, she was cripp-walking in the thing. And when I saw her, I was like, is that Serena Williams? But then they cut off of her, and I thought, well, that couldn't have been her. They would have kept the camera on her longer. But it was. You know, they always have special guests. I thought when they showed her, then the other guests were going to start coming out because she was like the intro. But they only kept the camera on her for like a second or two.

Two seconds. So I thought, man, you bring Serena Williams and then you just like act like she's barely there. That was kind of weird. Just a subtle nod. That was the, uh, she was dancing on Drake's grave. So a little background, Drake used to be obsessed with Serena Williams. Like he basically stalked her. And then Kendrick, just another dig on Drake made her part of the performance.

Oh, so they have a thing. Oh, Drake and Sarina. Oh, see, I didn't know that. No, that's, that was the, that was the last. I think that was the kill shot on the beef with Drake was, A, the Super Bowl performance after Kendrick said he's going to do the Super Bowl, and then bringing out Drake's crush of many years to dance on him. So then Kendrick, like, does his thing, whatever, it's over.

You get on social media, it's just people just blah. Basically, if you're over 35, chances are very high, you were like, I hate this. If you were under 35, it seems like chances are how you liked it, although there are some people that didn't. But I feel like we have a version of this conversation every year, Drew, which is, like, if you're my mind. age, it's not for you. Like, they're not going to bring.

Generations have to understand. The music that's popular now is never for you. I always say to older people, you remember how your parents were like, Elvis is the devil. The Rolling Stones are the devil, right? Like, that's how it works. And then when we were young, people were like, oh, this Snoop Dog and this, and this, I remember my grandmother telling me, turn off Nirvana. They're whining.

Like, like, it's just, that's what happens. and now we're the age where we say, oh, this is terrible. But that's what it's, it's supposed to be for young people. It's not supposed to be for us. That was wildly the most popular song of the year last year and just won the Grammy. So it's hard to argue that no one would like that when it's. But it's not for us. It's not targeted for us.

So when I see, like, you know, the kind of people that yell at me on Twitter, like, it's not for you. And guess what? The Super Bowl is never going to be for you. We're old now. It's for them. You had Harry Conick, everyone. Yeah, that's what we get.

We get Harry Connick. T.J. Smith, personal injury attorney. Call T.J. He'll make them pay. Now, more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones. I mean, it is a good, like, I don't care so much about the beef between him and Drake, although it does seem like he won. Because, I mean, I don't want to say poor Drake, because he may not even be a good guy.

But, like, when they're singing the song about you at the Super Bowl. You know, it's Whoa, you know And the crowd spelled out game over and lights Yeah, I mean the crowd spelled out game over Like, if I were Drake, I'd just take two or three years And just be like, I'm gonna be, I'm gonna take some time off You know, maybe come back in a couple years

Maybe people will have moved on Because like you don't want you don't want that, do you? And everybody, I mean, LeBron was his boy, he's turned on him, he's been dancing with Kendrick. I mean, everybody has flipped on Drake. Yeah, I mean, it seems like, it seems like a pretty bad, a bad thing to do. Okay, so you all, Ryan, you're not a reader.

Not at all. I'm a reader. I've read six books already this year. About to start my seven. I've always been a reader, but I've really gotten back into it. It's a good, it's a good. Matter of fact, I just finished a book called Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, which I do recommend. I read a book two weeks ago named Martyr, M-A-R-T-Y-R, highly recommended to everybody.

Great book. Put that to the side. sometimes you read a book and like you read it and you go wow blah blah blah blah blah blah and you like it for whatever reason you like but then you read like a review of it and you go oh they saw a lot of stuff that i didn't see like do you like that though and somebody something i think it's interesting i am not an artist right like so i don't draw or paint so like There's a way artists think about symbolism and stuff that I don't get always. You know what I mean?

It's just not how my brain is work. So, like, I see a painting and I see a man with a whale, and I go, there's a man in a whale. That's cool. And then they'll be like, but the whale symbolizes man's eternal look for God. And I'm like, oh, I didn't see any of that. I just saw a man in a whale. So that happens with books. And like TV shows, Severance, that we like.

Yeah. When you read the reviews of Severance, they're seeing things I didn't even think of. It gets me to Kendrick Lamar. When I saw it, I was like, well, I'm not really into his music. But it was fine, whatever. And then I like seeing people get angry. But then I saw somebody this morning who wrote all this, what all the symbols and all that meant. And I went, I didn't see any of that.

And it makes me feel stupid, to be honest with you. Like, I was like, I know that's the flag. But did you know that, like, he was using the symbols from Squid Game? I didn't read. Did you all know that? I didn't catch that. I didn't catch that. Did you catch it, Shannon?

No. Uh-uh. And I watched the game. See, I don't catch any of these things. Like, I feel like when people start talking about art like that, Drew, that's when I feel stupid. And so, once I read the thing, I was like, man, that performance had a lot of stuff in it that I didn't realize. And I think even just talking about the dream. Drake stuff with you all. There was a lot of, you know, in your windows and kind of inside

Kendrick stuff, like that Buick is his old Buick. Speaking of that Buick, okay, that Buick, I'm glad you brought up the Buick. It's a big part of the show. That's the Buick I had. That's Larry's Buick. This is what amazes me about Larry, okay? I know we haven't gotten to the UK game yet, and that's fine. When I was a kid, I love Larry. but I thought Larry was the most wonderful man, but kind of dorky, right? Larry had two cars, a 66 Dodge that by the time I went to college, every rapper had. Right? They would put hydro on it, and when Larry had it, I was like, look at this car.

And then it became the coolest car in the world. That Buick was always like, that's what old people drive, and now it's in the Super Bowl. That was his Buick slash my Buick that I still have not in a form necessarily that you would want

but can you believe that that's an 88 Buick in the Jack Harlow video now on the Super Bowl when did that Buick become cool Kendrick's been big on that Buick for a while but I remember when Harlow did it you wondered when you should sell

I think now is the time to sell it's in the Super Bowl by the way get that thing on the market I'll put the Buick on the market It was in a Jack Harlow video. It was just on the Super Bowl. Yeah, you're going to have to come get it. Come get it.

But that 88, who knew the 88? And how did all those people get in the car? That was pretty cool. No, I'm serious. How did they all? I know they weren't all, like, literally in the car. Yeah. But where did they come from?

It were underneath, you know, that platform underneath. But you could see it. It looked like you could see through it. You could see to the other side. It's all an illusion. You think it's all an illusion? Yeah, they were all coming up. Wouldn't the people at the game have been able to see the illusion?

I looked online. I didn't see anybody posting people coming from below. Because if you were at the game, presumably you would have seen it. Yeah, I think they probably had some bumpers or something. It made you think. Fumpers? Thought you were looking underneath the car, but you're really not. Like, you're seeing a reflection. So how do you think they did it?

Well, they cut out the bottom of the car, and they come up some stairs through the stage, into the car out the door. But how did we not see them come up? Because they've got it like the illusionist in you. should see that it's blocked off. Like they've got like mirrors or something where you think you're looking straight underneath the car, but you're not.

Oh, you think I'm, like we think we're looking under the car, but that's not what we're looking at. Yeah. What are we looking at? It's like it's a mirror. You're seeing behind you. You know, you're seeing the reflection. Okay, so you think the front of the car is a mirror

that I'm seen in the other direction? The underneath of the car. The car that sits up like a foot off the ground. Okay. Yeah. And that's a mirror under the car? I'm guessing. It's not a real gap.

Yeah. It's not a mirror. Yeah. And I'm thinking I'm looking under the car, but it's not. Yes. Okay. That's what I'm going with. Or even better to help your case for selling it.

It's just a great car for your family. You can put 35 people in there. Shannon, I want to believe all those people had to sit in the car. Oh, yeah. I want to believe they were all in there and they all had to like climb over each other like it was a clown car. Like that Kulio video. It was a fantastic boy. It's like the Kulio.

That's exactly right. That's exactly right. That's exactly right. The video. Or like us pulling up to Seattle after the road trip. Ryan might be right, though. I think the mirror thing probably is what it is. Well, I'd like, if somebody knows exactly, that's a good guess,

but if somebody knows exactly what it was. So all in all, did you enjoy the night? You know, the game was kind of a dud. You know, there aren't many Super Bowls that are blowouts. You know, I was thinking when your Bears won in 85, that's like, I was like a blowout. There aren't many blowouts when it comes to Super Bowl. I feel like when we were kids, though, there were a lot. It seemed like there was.

But it hasn't been in recent years. No. There haven't been a lot. I loved it, didn't look away, didn't miss a commercial. Even when I went from my parents' house to my house, I had to catch it on the phone so I didn't miss a commercial. So I was obsessed with it. I wish it had been a little bit closer,

but when it's the last day of football, I'm going to watch as much as I can. Tom Brady? I'll tell you this, he got better as the season went on. He's not bad. Like Drew pointed out, he was really struggling there in the second half trying to find something to kind of will the Chief of Eve. Do you like that when they were standing there and they would show?

What's the other guy? name Kevin Burke head Barkhart yeah Burkehart that's it Kevin Burkehart Did you like that they had Bourbon Street behind them I thought Thanks for bringing that up that was my big complaint Okay that was just unnecessary

Were we supposed to believe they were just standing on it Just show the booth I mean show the game behind them like you do it most of the They're clearly not on Bourbon Street Do they think we're so stupid that we think They're on Bourbon Street because first of all There was no one there so if it was on Bourbon Street at least have a couple drunk people

Pukin on each other if you want me to really think it's bourbon street they were they were overdoing it with that just put the camera with the crowd by let's see the action behind them like most broadcasts do that was a little much they did too much with the graphics also i have one more thing and then we'll move to uk the next segment john ham right all right so john ham i like john ham madman is a great show he was funny on third rock he's good when he hosts saturday night live he's stunningly handsome got nothing against john ham with that said he grew up a rams fan okay he grew up in st louis He's a Cardinals and a Rams fan.

He introduced the Chiefs last night. Now, wait a minute. You spent your whole life a Rams fan. Now, his explanation is when the Rams moved to L.A., he wasn't going to cheer for him anymore. I will note, however, he lives in L.A. But he said, I just decided to pick the other team from Missouri, Kansas City, to keep my Missouri connection.

Challenge flag, you can't do that. You can't do that. If Kentucky tomorrow were to stop playing basketball, just say we as an institution are done. We can't go cheer for Louisville. Can't. You can't. I mean, you could pick something else up, but you cannot pick up Louisville. Shannon, that has to be, like, that's against the fan rules.

You can't do that, right? Right, yeah. You got to stick with your team, especially if you're living out in L.A., you've got to stick with L.A., right? But if they move and you decide because they move, I'm out, I accept that. But you cannot pick the other team in the state, Ryan. That's not acceptable. I think he just pulled that out of his rear end. I think he was just trying to save a little PR by saying it's from Missouri.

So that's why I'm chewing for him. But if I was a Chiefs fan, I wouldn't want him introducing us. Like, I don't want a guy who was a fan of another team until they quit. Could be why they lost. I mean, isn't Paul Rudd a Chiefs fan? Bring him out, right? Yeah, I went to the AFC Championship in Kansas City, and they had Paul Rudd doing the drum and all the fun stuff.

He's their famous fan, and he was there. He was there. He was there. So that's my first knock on John Hamm. He's like, you don't get to do that. You don't get to just switch and become a fan of the other team in the state. I grew up a Cowboys fan, but the Titans didn't exist, and they moved basically into my backyard.

That's a little different. They came to you. There's a lot of people in North Carolina who were Washington fans. And then when the Panthers came, they were like, all right now I'm Panthers fans. I'm okay with that. But you can't a team, if Kentucky were to stop playing sports, we don't all become Tennessee fans. We don't all become Louisville fans. You can't do that. And do you think Tennessee fans would want us talking about them coming out for their NIT championship? Can you imagine? I wouldn't be around those people for a million dollars.

What's up, guys? 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. 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, Brett. My mama want you to weigh better. What? Hey, Ms. 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 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 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 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 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 Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Why is everyone obsessed with romance right now? Like everyone. Your coworker who, quote unquote, doesn't read. is reading romance. Your mom, book talk, the entire internet.

I'm Sondjana Basker. I'm Tyler McCall. And this is Radio 831, a romance podcast. The books, the tropes, the adaptations, the drama, the discourse. And what all of it says about how we actually love, yearn, and obsess. We're going to Weathering Heights. Which, for the record, is not a romance novel. And yet it has haunted the romance genre for 200 years.

We're getting into dark romance, age gaps, certain Russian hockey players, and sentient objects, in love, which is a thing. That's the kind of conversation we're having every episode. Listen to the Radio 831 podcast on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Back, Tucky Sports Radio. So I was wrong, it's an 87 Buick that is Larry's. Although, as many of you are pointing out on the text machine, I guess that that Kendrick has is a Buick Grand National, which is rare, and everybody's like, you don't have that. Well, I'm not saying we do. I'm just saying, it's 87 Buick, and it looks just like that.

It may not be a grand national. It may be a mini national or a mini local. I don't know what it is, but it looks just like that car that was on the stage yesterday. Trying to get it on eBay or something immediately. Yeah. It's never going to be hotter than it is right now. This would be the time, wouldn't it? Yeah, I mean, it's not driving off that lot, so someone would have. We have to go pick it up, but if you're going to move it, this is the peak.

This is a good peak time. All right, so let's talk UK in South Carolina. Kentucky wins by 23, a game they had to win. Yes. Right, they had to win that game. I thought they were one relatively comfortably, right? Like, had a 6 to 8 point lead most of the first half and then extended it right. That's the start of the second half.

I think at one point it got cut to 9, but then they went on like a 15-2 run and brought it back. had two kill shot runs, which is the new phrase I've learned this year of 10-0 runs or more. We had two. Generally speaking, if you have three, you certainly win, and if you have two, you win most of the time. We did that. A lot of guys played well. Marie, Braya, Garrison, with a big game. Probably Garrison's best game.

But for me, the story drew, is you see how important it is to have Butler. Because when you have Butler, you can handle pressure. They tried to pressure. Didn't work, really. And then you can give pressure. You can actually make it to where it takes them a while. You just saw how important Butler is with that game. Yeah, just further proved what we already knew,

especially defensively, how bad they were missing him. And it wasn't just him. Like, the other Kentucky players were more active and more engaged and getting up in their opponent's face. Bray had played maybe the best defense of the year that I've seen him play. So I don't know if it's vocal or them just looking over there and seeing him or what, but it translated to all the other guys stepping up too. And even though South Carolina's the last offense in the S.

It felt good to see them hold a team to 57 points. I don't care who it is. I like, and also I think it slides the players, Ryan, to their more comfortable roles, right? So, like, Robinson can become a primary score. O-A can be a third guy. Then Brea gets maybe the worst perimeter defender on the other team, which allows him to get shots off. Like, everybody's just in a much more comfortable position when he's in. Yeah, they just seem to move better.

They just seem their offense seem to be more efficient. Defense, they tightened up. Yeah, you held a team under 60 points. I think it's a big reason because Butler was back. You score 80 and you hold a team under 60, and I think he's a big reason why. The defense, I mean, I know South Carolina's 0 and 9 in conference going into it. Now they're 0-10. I know they're not a great offensive team.

Nevertheless, though, Drew, it was great to see us hold a team to 57. I mean, we've been letting bad offensive team score at least 70 to hold a team to 57. I don't care who it is. And even though they're 0-10, they're bad. better than O and 10. Like, I'm not saying they're good, but, like, they shouldn't be O and 10. They should have won a couple games.

Like, they're better than you would think with that record. Yeah, and their big guy, Murray Bowles is very good. He didn't have a great game. Yeah, he led to the SEC and field goal percentage going in, and they held him to, like, five for 15, so they did a good job guarding him. He still got 14-ish points, but whatever, didn't have a good night. It was just overall

in a game where you had Kobe Brea come back to life and a lot of other fun stuff offensively. It was just the, Defense gives us so much more comfort moving forward that they're not absolutely terrible like they were Tuesday at Ole Miss. And we just had to win. That was the ultimate thing to me. Like we just, we had to win that. However we won it, we had to win.

And now we got Tennessee at home tomorrow night at Texas Saturday. The way I look at it is, if you could win both those, now we're cooking. But we need to win one. All right. I want to win them both, but let's definitely win one. You lose them both. Now we're kind of, I don't know, we're not, we're not bad, but we're not where we want to be. So my view is, we'd love to go one in one, but if we go two and oh, watch out.

The biggest surprise for me from the game Saturday is that Damian Fishback said that Isaiah Briscoe was one of his favorite players in UK history. He has to be the only person that I've ever heard, Drew, in the history of mankind, say, one of my favorite UK basketball players is Isaiah Brisco. And that's no shame on Isaiah Brisco. It's just he was on a team with Monk, Fox, and Bam, and Derek Willis, and you would pick up. pick Isaiah Briscoe is just odd. I like I was at Briscoe, but if you give me a pen of paper and tell me to write down my 30 favorite Kentucky players, I'm not sure I'm even going to get to him. It was an odd pick to be a favorite.

I mean, think about that team he was on. How many people in the state do you think have Briscoe is one of their five favorite players on that team? It had Monk, Fox, Bam, Willis, Hawkins, right? Isaac Humphreys, who a lot of people really liked. I just, that was one of the all-time. Literally for like five minutes I stopped paying attention to the game. Thinking how does somebody end up with I.

Isaiah Briscoe was one of their favorite UK players of all time. Really, I remember Isaiah Briscoe for being a guard that shot 46% from the free throw line. Not exactly a fond memory. Were you surprised by that? I heard him say that too. Kind of shook me for a minute. Fishback is from Bowling Green, so he knows a lot of Kentucky history. That's true.

I forgot about that. So he looked at all those Kentucky players. And he was like, Rex, Pashburn, Pthew, Tashon, who? Wall Davis. Give me a little of that briscoe.

I just didn't see it. But shout out to Isaiah Briscoe for that being the case. He opened a bodega in New Jersey. Maybe a fishback goes there when he's up in New York. He opened a bodega in New Jersey. Yeah, I'm a bachelor party. We tried to go, go give Briscoe some of our business. Where in New Jersey?

I don't know. I looked it up at the time. I couldn't tell you exactly where. See, I love it. the UK guys that have weird post careers. Isaiah Briscoe having a bodega in New Jersey's up there. It's not Shigari Aline doing

salsa dancing for a living, which I don't think anything will ever top, but it's up there. Ramele being a farmer was pretty shocking. Ramele being a farmer was weird. That's true. I don't think I, when I met Ramele from Brooklyn, I don't think I thought that man's going to

try to grow vegetables in Pikeville. I didn't see that on his bingo card, but he did. It's the La Placita Bodega. Where is it? In his hometown, I guess is that in Newark? Yeah, just cross the river. Well, you know, the NCAA tournament, the East Regional is in Newark.

Let's do a remote. If we end up there, we have to go. We have to do a show at La Placita Bodega. Yeah. And we should invite Damian Fishback. He's probably a regular. Shigari's up there and come dance. You know, that might be a show that would lead to my retirement.

We take Damien Fishback. We go to La Placita Bodegasia. do our show and invite Shigarie Aleen for a salsa dance. Like if all those things were to happen. And then win the regional. And then we win the regional and we go, you know what? Don't get any better than that. I think that's it.

I'm out. That would be a good way to end the road. Back in the Meadowlands of Pope. I mean, it'd be full circle for everyone. I don't think they have the metal lands anymore. But whatever that arena is in Newark. All right, 859, 28027. We're not open the phone jail.
