Hour number two, Kentucky Sports Radio here live at the high school suite 16, the greatest show in hoops as has just tipped off. Bowling Green and Adair County. The The Adair County crowd is right next to our mic, so you're probably going to hear them for the next hour or so. Bowling Green head fans show up, but Adair County wins the crowd support by a lot.

We'll see if they end up winning the game, right. I tell you what, I would be peeing my pants. I mean, I was nervous. That's just a normal way for you. I was kind of nervous just sitting here as they get ready to tip it off. I just love it so much. If I was on that court for a game like this, I would have peed my pants. You really are like, you're like me on the bracket show,

But about this. Why do you love it so much? I think just because, you know, my dad was a high school coach. Oh, really? But I grew up going to high school games. Every day of my life when I was a kid. I was in high school basketball all it was about. And I wish I just wish one time I could have played in a big game like this.

Yeah, we were just saying, I think I think I would be the tallest player on the court if I went out there. You would have been the tallest player in the court in this game. Yeah, well, it's 6-0 Bowling Green. So Adair County is going to have to get better quickly. All right, so let's talk about a second about the portal, Drew. It opened yesterday. A lot of people got it. I think 1,200 people are in it, which is an unbelievable amount.

As far as for the men's team, a lot of names you're going to hear, but I think the ones that stick out the most, and I'm remembering no one's name. But the kid from Robert Boris, who I think I would have a hard time pronouncing either way, is I know a guy Kentucky wants a lot. The kid from Sam Houston State that shoots threes, average is like 20 a game. The kid from Tulane, I think his name's Cam Williams, is a guard that I know they like. And then everybody wants that point guard from New Mexico, whose name escapes me as well. Why don't you give us some names to go along with my generic descriptions?

Donovan Dent is the one from New Mexico that everyone wants. He's the number one guy in the portal right now. Average 20 a game, he's going to have a huge price tag. I mean, Kentucky has reached out. You know, I don't have a lot of confidence that. It's still early, but he's going to be maybe one of the most expensive players. He's probably going to be the, you know, I mean, there's still other guys that can get in, but he's going to be, Donovan Dent, he was, you know, commerce player the year there.

He's going to be the top guy, probably in the portal. If they can afford him, maybe he follows Richard de Xavier, Duke's in the mix. A lot of big guys for Kentucky so far. There's the Magoon Guaft from San Diego's state. He looks kind of raw. Like it might be a couple years if you get here. Put him with Garrison. Maybe you have something.

Your boy, Eliza Freeman from Lincoln Memorial. They've reached out to him, as we said last week. All kinds of the UNLV's guard. Diedan Thomas, I think. Yeah, that's another big one they've reached out to. But it's very clear. Going to look for a ball handling replacement for Lamont Butler with some defense and then a big guy inside who can defend or high priorities.

The person that I've heard Kentucky, like maybe. feels the, I don't want to say feels the best about like they know they're going to get him, but the one they're most advanced on is the kid from Robert Morris. You said Mr. Scoop, scuttlebutt here, you said you got something similar, right? The message I got from the guy who is

never wrong. Never wrong. He said, you want to keep an eye on this guy. The guy from Robert Morris. The kid from Robert Morris. He's from Spain. He's from Spain, which I like. You know, I would live in Spain. Yeah. I'm not going to say I definitely will live in Spain, but I could see myself living in Spain, like, many years

like down the road. Kentucky Spain Radio. Yeah. But Telpe, so this guy's Spanish. He's like 6-9. He's a great shooter. Where in Spain is he from? Does it say? I don't know where exactly is. See if you can find that. I'd like to know, because I, you know,

I'm kind of a third international travel. Foguerreys. But he's a big dude who can shoot threes and you could just, if you watch any of his time, and he played well against Bama, if you watch any of his tape, he looks like a guy who could play and poke It's maybe a replacement for car.

That's what I was going to say. He's an Andrew Carr 2.0, it seems like. The same size, good shooter from the outside. Not a big strong dude by any means, but they don't need that in Pope's offense. He had 15 and 10 against Bama. He's from Malaga, Spain. Oh, he's from Malaga? Yeah.

It's like a beach town. Yeah. What's to do? You know? Well, let's go over there and do a little background research on him. I tried to get you to go walk with me in Spain, and you were like, oh, I'm old. I can't do anything. And Jacob interviewed Tulane, Cam Williams.

Every time I see his name, and I've seen it 50 times, I read it as Cat Williams. It's really throwing me off. But I hope we get Cat Williams, too. Yeah. So, I mean, I do think this stuff's going to move a lot quicker than it did last year. You remember, we didn't get the word on Jackson Robinson until the end of May. At this point, last year, you got to remember, we didn't even have Mark Pope. It's true.

Right? I mean, we still, Mark Pope was, like, we were still. At this moment, last year, we just found out Cal was leaving. Well, at this moment last year, I was at the Sweet 16 wondering why the coaching staff was down the street and not at the game watching Travis Perry. I remember that very well. Yeah. And we mentioned the North Dakota guy, but Eagle staff is high on everyone's priority list too, and Kentucky's already reached out to him. So, you know, I think this will be a hectic offseason.

Who do you think is certainly back for Kentucky? So I'll just go personally. If you had to say who's the guy that you would put the most money on is back next year, who would it be? You have to put your life on them coming back. Who is it? Colin Chandler. Really? Yeah.

I'd say if you're out of the guys, one I would for sure be a lock. I would say Trent Noah. Yeah. You're going to say Chandler. I'm going. O'Brien. Okay. I think all three of these guys are back.

I do, too. And then I think Brandon Garrison is definitely back. Yes. Travis Perry, I don't know for sure. I think he's, I don't know. I mean, I'm not doing that to make news. I just don't know one way or the other. But I feel like those four guys, I feel very confident about coming back.

Before Chandler's breakout, when he was just kind of sitting on the bench, we weren't seeing a lot of him, I wondered what his future would be. But now that he's played so well, it looks like he'll be a big piece moving forward, and then the fiancé posting about moving to Kentucky. I mean, I put it right up there. The girlfriend is undefeated. That feels like a pretty good thing. So we've got three freshmen coming in at this moment.

you've got the five, four, maybe five. So, I mean, we're probably going to take four or five dudes in the portal, right? And you think one's got to be a point guard, one's got to be a big guy. You're definitely going to get a point guard. You're definitely going to get an Andrew Carr kind of big guy. You might get another big guy. You're definitely going to go get an ace three-point shooter. And then I think you're just looking for like an all-around stuff.

Yeah. And I think if you can find that, then you consider it a perfect run. I really think they might need four starters to put with O. Jasper's close, but I wonder about his defense. It's just so hard to tell him that OTE. He's been scoring very well. And then maybe Brandon Garrison is your starting center, but I still think I think I would go shopping with the intentions of maybe four starters. I do too, but I think Pope is going to think Garrison is the center.

I think Pope is very, very high on Garrison. So I would be, I think if I'm, I think Pope probably looks at it and says, I have O way, I have Garrison. And I have two other guys who could be starters, which is Jasper and Colin Chandler. but he was going to look for other guys probably to get. That's just how I would bet he looks at. The good thing about Garrison is he probably doesn't run off another center target. I mean, he's good. Probably not.

But, I mean, someone that's really talented, having Brandon Garrison on the roster probably isn't going to keep you away, especially when Pope only plays guys 20, 25 minutes a game. Richard Petino was hired at Xavier. What do you think about the Louisville to Xavier pipeline continues? I mean, he really did well at New Mexico. I mean, he kind of earned the right to, you know, make a move. And so I'm, you know, he was a senior one of my first year here on the Lexington Calic basketball team,

got to know him just a little bit before he took off. I'm for him. I'm for it. Means you're going to get Rick versus Richard next year in the Big East. That's kind of exciting, isn't it? That was everybody's big takeaway. But honestly, the moment I saw Richard to Xavier News, I thought Rick Petino is going to retire to horse farm in Georgetown and just go to Pope and Richard James.

That's true, he could live halfway through and be right there. A couple years of playing his son of the Big East is moving to this area. as long as Richard's still there. I can see him in Georgetown, going to all the chicken finger restaurants. He likes horses so that my initial takeaway was we were just going to get even more Rick Petino in this area between Cincinnati and Lexington. But it'll make the Big East, even putting Big East on the map even more. He had a great season this year. Now you add Richard to the fold.

859-280-2287. Who's up next, Shannon? Jerry. Jerry. Go ahead, Jerry. Okay, man, I got two quick things, buddy. First thing I need to know who you guys are going to be at Fridays. in Annapolis.

And the second thing, the Lord kids being recruited by Bellarmine in Louisville and Camelsville. Bellarmine. And I think he plays first in season against our high school team in Cumber County. And he's the real deal. Thanks for taking my call, buddy. Appreciate the call. So Connor Roy, Loy, is, what number is he? 14.

14. He just scored. He just scored. Adair County leads 13 to 11. So he's going to maybe Bellarmine. Who's the coach of Bellarmine now? Well, Scottie Davenport's son. He just handed it off.

Oh, he handed it to Scotty Davenport's son. Uh-huh. Okay. Yeah. Number five for Dare already has six points five rebounds, barely into this game. Dudes make it some big contributions. Now, 1311. Again, if you're at KS Bar, you can watch it.

Prep spin or just listen to the noise in the background here. We are right behind the Adair County bench. Which guy's the coach there? That dude sitting in the chair, yeah. The dude who's sweating as if he's playing? Yes. You know, Drew's a former trumpet player. Drew maybe just grab a trumpet and jump in there?

Trombone. Trombone, I'm sorry. I was the trumpet player. Okay. Well, you guys could be part of the band. We could. Remember, I lost my ambissure. And when I got braces, which made it a little hard for me.

But yes, Drew and I could play trumpet and trombone and go join the Adair County band. You're writing some drums. Bang on. You guys could jump right in there with them. Adair County has like 930 cheerleaders. I mean, like, that's a lot of cheerleaders for a hundred. high school team they have a good turnout over there awesome turnout nice job by a dare county all right who's next kai kai go ahead kai 859 280 2287 hey guys how you doing doing good

hey i have a question for all the guys and a quick one for you matt just a personal question for all the guys what do you think our turnout's going to be in indian athletes because listen you guys in milwaukee really sounded like you guys were disappointed in the tournament Well, I'll let you do your second question in a second. I think it's going to be huge. I mean, I know a lot of people going. You know, when my mom said she wanted to go, I mean, like, she's never wanted to go to anything. I think it's going to be huge.

Now, I think tickets are going to be a huge issue. I mean, like, tickets are going to be expensive, and be hard to get. But I do think we're going to have a big crowd there Friday night, don't you? I was talking to a guy last night, him and 11 of his buddies. There's 12 of them. They just decided, let's go. Their tickets aren't the greatest, but they don't care. just to be in the building to be a part of that.

And I think there's going to be a lot of Kentucky fans do the same thing, just to be there. Yeah, I know several people going. Milwaukee, you know, it is what it is. I wouldn't really call it disappointing. It's just when you're that close to Illinois and Chicago, we knew we're going to be outnumbered coming off the Nashville trip. But I think it's just going to be absolutely packed with Kentucky fans in Indianapolis for the second weekend. Yeah, I do think there's a bigger, like, first and second round issue going forward,

which is we just all go to Nashville, and then it's hard to get everybody to go the next week. That's true. And I don't know if that's just going to be how it is for a while. What's your second thing? Kai? Yeah. Yes, what's your second question? Go ahead.

Are you from No-Town, Matt? I'm not from No-Town, although there I appreciate the call. What's No-Town? That's a part of Middlesbrough. It's called No-Town. I don't know why it's called that because it's spelled N-O-E town, but it's like a part of Middlesbrough, kind of like back, it's where you start to get in the hollown.

and it's called No Town. It's where they do the Ha! Preach it. But you got the Hoes in Middlesboro. Now you've got the Noes in Middlesbril. You don't have to talk about the women of Middlesbrough. I'm not talking about the women. You're classy ladies, man.

They are wonderful. You're talking about the people who make the... The metal sewage covers. The sewage covers. The Ho's? The Ho. The Ho family. The whole family.

And now you've got the No family. It's not a family. It's a part of town. Is it like a neighborhood? Yeah. A lot of nos live there? No, it's just No town. Why do they call it Notown then?

I just said to start, I don't know. I don't know why they call it that. But it's a part of town. It's one of the precincts in the elections. That was always where the shady stuff went down. Oh, it was. You had to wait in the city elections for Notown to come in because there was always the thought that maybe there were some like horse trading going on

and they were waiting to see the results. So you always, you couldn't breathe easily until the no-town. No town precinct came in on election night. I see. No town has the shortest Wikipedia page I've ever seen. It's one sentence. What does it say? No town is an unincorporated community in Bell County, Kentucky.

Oh, wait a minute. They're not saying No Town is part of Middlesbril? It says in Bell County. See, I thought of No Town was part of Middlesbril. Maybe it's its own, maybe that's why they were so wild over there. They consider themselves an unincorporated entity. Well, Hensley's Chapel Church was out in No Town. Yeah, lots of good stuff in Notetown.

Will Ferrell's Big Money Players and IHeart Podcasts presents soccer moms. So I'm Leanne. This is my best friend Janet.

And we have been joined at the hips since high school. Absolutely. Now a redacted amount of years later, we're still joined at the hip. Just a little bit bigger hips, wider. This is a podcast. We're recording it as we tailgate our youth soccer games in the back of my Honda Odyssey. With all the snacks and drinks. Sidebar.

Why did you get hard sell? else or instead of beer. They had a bogo. Well, then you got it. Do you want a white color or something here? Just take it. What are y'all doing? Microphones?

Are you making a rap album? Oh, I would. Come on. Could you both? I would buy it. Cuts through the defense like a hot knife through sponge cake. That sounds delicious. Oh, you're lucky.

I'm not a drug addict. You are. I'm not an alcoholic. You are. You are. I'm lucky I'm not a killer. I love this team, and I'm really trying to be a figure in their lives that they can rely on. Oh.

Oh. Listen to soccer moms on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. There you go. Notown. No town. 859-280-2287. I teach you a lot about Bell County. You got RJ.

You got Kettle Island. You got Frakes. Got Chain Rock. You got Chain Rock. You got No-Town. Got the floodgates in Pineville. Junction. These are all communities in Bell County.

They're all parts of Bell County. Everybody kind of takes their own thing, right? Fondie. Will they ever consolidate schools? Solidate what? The school? Like Pineville, Middlesboro? Yeah, probably one day.

I hope not, because then my school will go away. Yeah. But I would say, I mean, there aren't that many independent schools left that are just city schools. Yep. We have two. I mean, we're one of the few school districts. We're one of the few counties in the state that has three school districts in it. Because Pineville is its own school district, too.

Yeah, it is. It is for the big county schools. the big school and you got the two little city schools. I want to give a shout out to KHSAA. Sometimes when you go to these tournaments, Shannon, they give you like little gifts. Usually it's like a keychain or, you know, Shannon, what you know what I mean? Or like a zip drive or something. Right.

Here, they gave us like an old school camping lamp. So think about like when you watch the Christmas Carol and Ebenezer screws will carry a lamp to show, you know what I'm talking about? Hold it by a handle. Yeah. This is a K-H-S-A-A-Camping lamp. I like it. I have to say, I've never been given this gift. Me neither.

What do you think about this? You just pull it up, and then the light comes on, and it's a camping lamp. It's a bright light, too. I think your electricity goes out. There you go. There it is. I think it's super cool, and I am so glad that I got one. I can see you taking it with you to use the bathroom in the middle of the night.

Why not? You don't want to trip over dog toys or shoes in the floor? Why do you have dog toys just in the floor? My dogs. They don't put their stuff. stuff up what they're supposed to. They don't. They don't know where, what, what, yeah.

Put your toys up. Yeah. Well, that happens. All right. So we, we're picking games. We're now to the part of the bracket. It looks like it's mostly the Eastern Kentucky teams. Tomorrow at 11 a.m.

North Laurel plays Brethick County. Brethick County pulled off a big upset. It was supposed to be hazard. And Brethick County, Bloody Brethet pulled the upset. Who you like in this one? A Brethick County's got a kid named Austin Sperry. I've watched him since he was in middle school.

He's kind of a flashy point guard. They make good shoes. They do make good shoes. They're coming back, too. North Laurel, kind of a surprise winner. South Laurel was the favorite to win the 13th region. But once again, even without Reed Shepard, here's North Laurel again in the Sweet 16. So who you take it?

I'm going to take Brethick County. Okay. All right, what about you? Once again, I just want to say I'm impressed with Ryan's knowledge of the roster. He's named a player on every team. We're assuming they're actual people. Yeah, I mean, Austin Sparry, he might have just said like Bill Reebok. It may or may not be a person that exists, but go ahead.

I'm going to go with North Laurel, though, even though the breadth of breakdown you gave was good. We just have a history with that regional tournament with North Laurel, and I think they'll win this game. Yeah, I'm going to take the 13th region and go with North Laurel. What about you, Shannon? Austin Sperry, Tyler Skechers, give me breath. Does Adair County have the shortest coaching staff ever put together? Like, that coach is very short. Or that referee is very tall.

I'm not sure what it is. The referee is like 6-6. The coach is like 5-6. I have beef with Adair because the guy that did the too slow on my handshake is one of their assistant coaches. I thought it was like a K-H-H-H-A. This goes and shows you how Ryan lies. This guy came up and did the too slow with Drew, Shannon. And Ryan goes, he works with KHSAA.

No, he's the Adair County assistant coach. I just think you just make things up. I thought he was KHSA-A guy. I didn't know. I'm just trying to impress you guys. Ryan is just going to sit here and talk about it. He's going to say things that aren't true. Lawrence County plays Montgomery County.

Montgomery County has only made the Sweet 16 once in like 35 years, but they upset what, Mason County and got it. GRC, or GRC, excuse me, and they play Lawrence County, which, of course, is where Tyler Childers was born. Lawrence County is the best story in the tournament. They lost in the first round of the district tournament, and here they are in the Sweet 16. because the 15th region's got that expanded region tournament.

It's a thing that mom went off on on TikTok. Remember I told you she was like, this ain't fair. 15th region does a super bracket, and I don't like it. And like she went crazy. And then I watched it, so then I got the follow-up post and goes, it's still happening. The world needs to know. And I was like, all right.

And it ended up, I think she must not have liked. Lawrence County. Must be against Lawrence County. They lost. First round in the district, every other team's turning in their jersey. Season's over. They keep playing and end up to Sweet 16. Sorry, they're going to beat Montgomery.

No, Montgomery County will win. Caden Reed became eligible in January. And I don't think Montgomery County's lost. I feel like I've heard that kid's name for 15 years. Yeah. Caden Reed. This is his third school. Is he the one that his dad has coached and then someone else coached?

And then he went to Augusta and then he went to, am I right about that? Yep. Yeah, Augusta, Bracken County, Mason County. now he's in Montgomery County. He's like the Devin Askew of going to high school. But he hit the three to beat GRC in the region finals, though. He's banked it in, right? Banked it in, yeah.

Okay, who you got? Just because I like that Ryan says Moco, I'm going to go with Moco. Moco. Miko. I mean, that was one of the best shots of the regional tournaments. I'm going to assume he stays hot. For my friend Sarah Jefferson, I will take Montgomery. She's a Mokoe.

She's a Moco person. Who got Channon? Ryan may not have any idea what he's talking about, but he seems like he knows what he's talking about, so I'm going to follow Ryan's picking over Montgomery County. Yeah, whether he knows or not to speak competently. Who's next? Sean.

Sean, go ahead, Sean. Hey, guys. First of all, if there is a guy named Bill Reebok somewhere in the country, the odds of him being an athlete are probably not good. He's probably a software developer. Fair enough. Secondly, I want to give a good friend and former college teammate Tim Sullivan. I know you guys are probably going to.

talk about that at some point but the imagine that being told three months ago you're you're not going to have your contract renewed and then doing what he's done and then trying to put him a happy face and keeping the culture the same as what it was to begin with and kind of shoving it in everybody's face that's exactly what he's done and he's done it with class and I'm proud of it and I'm proud to be associated with him and I think that's the story everybody needs to get on and get behind because it's incredible and I'll hang out I appreciate it. We'll talk about that. That's the Cooper coach.

We'll talk about that when we get to that game. But I appreciate the call. Who's next? Let's go to Joe. Joe, I got a minute. Go ahead. Hey, Matt, I just wanted to talk about the NCAA bracket. If we meet Alabama in the fight.

If we meet Alabama win? He cut out. I'm not hearing. All right. Well, I mean, look, we need Alabama. Yeah, what did you say? If we meet Alabama in the final four, they would have to beat us for the fourth time. Yeah.

Well, I appreciate to call. If we get to that point, then I'll be so thrilled, Drew. I won't care about the fact that I don't think we can probably beat them, but I'll take it. I know at Kentucky, we don't surrender to anyone, but you get to the final four. I don't care what happens from there. Yeah, I don't either. We'll worry. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

We're going to take a break. Come right back. 18, 1918 here at the Ruff Arena. T.J. Smith, personal injury attorney. Call T.J. He'll make them pay.

I never got the old man lines for these high school games. Oh, they're out. Where are they? What was the line for this one? It's 20 to 19 bowling green at halftime. I think it was a bowling green net minus six.

Oh, well, Darry County's hanging in there right now. You got the lines? Yeah. They were tweeted out. I saw it when I'll drive back home Monday. Who sets these in? I don't know. Maybe they don't want people to know.

Here we go, I got him. Okay, but he sits like right up here, doesn't he? Isn't it like right up here? Somewhere. Oh, I'm not going to say which one. But in one of these, he's... I'm not going to... You know who it is.

I don't know who it is. Yeah, it is. I can tell, look at you. You would be the worst poker player. in the world. Not only do you know who it is, I have a feeling like you have some bets going with him right now. I wish I did know who he is because I would have bet this game, full show. Why did you say, faux show? That's what all the young kids are saying.

Look at the young kids. See, you look at him just talking to people, Jared. He's just like, hello, Greg. He walks in there and he turns into young kids. He's had three people at walk about that time, and there's another. There's a fourth. Like, he just keeps, like, he owns this room. No one is as popular.

as you are in this room. You've done more finger guns to people that I've ever seen you do in my entire life. He's like shooter McGavin. He's like, shoot, ah. He does that to everybody. Can I throw you another little nugget? If you want.

We still have two more games. In the early 80s, Paul Andrews hit the most famous shot in the history of the Sweet 16th. Laurel County. Laurel County. With Larry Bruner. Larry Bruner was the coach who ended up being

the Middlesbrough coach. Your coach at Middell'sboro. Larry Bruner. Well, they've made a documentary about that game and that shot called the Shot Herd Around the State, and they're going to play it over here at Lex Live at 4 o'clock tomorrow. That's good. So if you're in town for the Sweet 16, I'm going to go.

I want to go watch it. You're going to go watch it? Because your coach is in it. Apparently, I'm in the documentary. Of course you're in the documentary. Why are you in the? You weren't even here. Well, we did like a 20-year anniversary.

I was a Chin late teen or something. Ellen Cutler and I did. Okay. How are you in the documentary? I assume that's what it is. You were like a kid. Well, I was a junior in high school. school in 1984.

In Indiana. Another state. I was at Channel 18 when it was the 20-year anniversary. Okay. All right, so that's tomorrow. That's tomorrow. Four o'clock, Lexlid. All right.

Shout out to Terrence and Garrett Bruner, Larry Bruner's kids that I played basketball with growing up. Do you remember that game? I was like four. No. But like did Larry Pruder, did he show you the shot or show you any highlights or anything? I was on the bench. I never got to see anything. I got a question for you.

You've seen all the big story in the news about the. group chat, right? Oh, yes. How we, like, planned a war on a group chat. Yeah. That was a bad decision. And, like, everybody's, like, blaming each other, and they're saying. But somehow they added a journalist, somebody added a journalist to the group chat.

Probably shouldn't have been doing it on group chat to begin with. Have you ever accidentally added the wrong person to a group chat? I mean, you don't plan wars, but you plan nights out with Dante. Do you ever added the wrong people to a group chat? I don't think so because, as you know, my android's not the best on group chats anyway. Yeah, you ruin every group chat. I think I ruined group chat. Actually, Shannon, if Ryan had been on the war group chat, we wouldn't have even had a bomb.

Because no group chat, because of Ryan. Matter of fact, we could have saved this entire national security crisis if they put Ryan on the group chat. Because it wouldn't have gone through. Just give it their drone phone. There would have been no problem. We'd be still hung up somewhere between his phone and everybody else's. Floating out there in the ether. The secretary of the army would be like, what did you want me to do?

It's floating up in space somewhere. Yeah, exactly. My green bubble text message to you guys. But yeah, that was probably a mistake. I did like when they were trying to defend it. One of the guys was like, I think what happened is the journalist added himself to it. I heard that. How did they think that's going to happen?

Can I just add myself to group chats? I don't think you can. What group chat would you want to add your job? I want to be in Mark Pope's chat. That's true. Like, I'm sure they have a group chat about the portal. I just would like to add myself to it. On Monday, he mentioned his 96 group chat.

That's what I want to get in. And he said it's actually, what do you say? It's between loving and threatening. Let me tell you. Between me and you on the 96 group chat, when Cala Perry, I'm going to tell a little business I probably shouldn't tell. But when we lost in 24. 14 to Yukon.

I got sent, I'm not going to say by who, but I got sent some excerpts from the 96 team group check. Oh, really? And you want to talk about some people not happy with the coaching at the University of Kentucky. The 96 group chat after we lost a Yukon in 2014. Wow. Was not good. That's still after a good run.

Yeah. Yeah, but they were very angry about that game. Just about that game? Maybe some X's and O's. I saw the 502 podcast with Jeff Teague. Yeah. Yesterday he was talking about Cal, and he said he told his little brother, y'all's exes and O's their ass talking about their team. He's like, you're good because you're all talented, but your exes and O's or ass.

He said that on the podcast yesterday. Well, I mean, there was some truth to that over time. But are you going to ever get a phone that we can have a group chat in? We miss some important messages. No, I mean, I send you messages, and then nobody gets them, and I'm like, Ryan Lemon. I think I get them, so I think I'm okay with keeping my phone then. I get your messages.

I one time got a conversation from you guys like halfway through the conversation and had no idea what you were talking about. That's all right. It's Ryan's phone screws up the group chat. Who's up next? Evie. Evie. Go ahead, Evie.

My family has been Kentucky for like four generations, but my dad is also from England, and I just wanted to let y'all know the weed of X and Niceville, Florida, is sold out for the first time. 14 years. Unbelievable. I mean, the Wheatabix thing. It really is, like,

it's Kentucky fans at our weirdest and at our best, that we just take this stupid wheat cereal and make it into a thing. I love it. I mean, so have you eaten it yet? Oh, I've been eating it since I was about five years old.

And do you like it? Oh, it's great. Just add a bunch of sugar. Yeah. Well, I mean, that's true probably about anything. I appreciate the call. You put a bunch of sugar on it. it'll taste good.

And if we have to eat this tomorrow at the restaurant, that's exactly what I'm doing. Will you bring some sugar? Yeah, if I remember, I'll bring some. I'll put it in the group chat tonight to get you to bring some. I want to try it. Well, I'll get it on Friday then, and they'll get in the group chat. If we're going to be part of this Kentucky Unity, Wee de Bix, March to March Madness movement that folks started.

How is Wee Bix still not done anything with it? Their social media manager needs to be fired. I agree. The last tweet was six days ago. I mean, this has fallen in your lap. They should be firing off tweets and making this a big, big, big, part of their marketing and there's just silence over there yeah i i don't understand and maybe on the group chat thing can i just give a piece of advice to people in government when they screw up yes

just say i screwed up yeah why don't they do that like it's a big mistake but you know what what do i always say about mistakes everybody makes mistakes so yes they do what are you laughing at i thought i heard something in the background there yes it was me singing You guys didn't hear that? Go ahead. I'm hearing voices, maybe. Shannon, is he okay? I don't know.

It wasn't me. I didn't have the mic on. All right. Anyway. So, let's sing it again. Everyone makes mistakes, so yes, they do. Yeah. Just get up there and say, we didn't mean to add this guy.

Yeah, it was probably a dumb thing to discuss the war on the group chat. We won't do that anymore. And then you can move on. But then when you sit there and go, he added himself. Like, stop it. Like, come on, stop it. No way to address. There's no way to add yourself.

And if there is, that's even worse. If people, like, if there's a scenario where people can just add themselves to war group chats, that's even more of an issue, isn't it? I can't believe they were discussing this major military operation on their personal cell phones. On a group chat! On a group chat. That alone in itself reeks of... Of what?

Unprofessionalism. Who's a nation? Let's go to Stan. You get this. You get right in this. building and it's just like it's just so into it stay and go ahead stand i wanted to talk about arkansas for a second there's something about this thing that it seems like the elephant in the room nobody's mentioned it i can't find anybody talking about it so i must be off yet straighten me

out he had planned as a point guard on that team when they started he had that job before he ever got the camp because he was the next guy five-star he's he's a point guard they're terrible he gets hurt, Wagner goes back to the spot that he can play. Wagner's not a good outside shooter, but he gets the bath with his hand, and all of a sudden they get a lot better. The arrow gets hurt. He brings in these two big guys that he didn't play. I mean, he's running out of players, and they haven't looked back since.

I mean, that's the way I see it. Yeah, I mean, that's true. I mean, he's somebody that they should have been good. He does less with more. I mean, this guy does less with more than anybody you could imagine. I appreciate the call. We do have to give him, I mean, they, you know, they beat two good teams, Kansas and St. John. They should have been good all year, though.

I mean, like, the idea that this is an underdog story, they should have been good. Now, you know, I don't want them to beat Texas tag. I think Florida will beat them. Florida will beat them if they get that far. But, you know, I mean, they've done a good job. It is crazy, though. He loses two of his best players and then they're better. But some of that shows like he kind of overcoaches and undercoaches at the same time.

Maybe he doesn't need a lot of players available where he has to make some line-up changes. Just go to the small guy the group he has. Just go with the, you know, A-Doo was awful all year, and then he got good here at the end. And, you know, John L. Davis went from just, like, sitting him in the corner and shooting threes to now he's their main guy. So there was a stretch where Big Z was winning games for him. And now he doesn't play. Yeah, now he don't even put him in. So who knows?

I was really surprised they played as well as they did with Boogie Flan coming back. You know, it kind of insert him right for Marchmont. I didn't think it was going to work. And it did. It worked. He played well, too. Matt, have you seen Cash Daniel's new video he just put out? Cash Daniel has a video?

It's him in historic Davis Arena, and it says, Born for this, OVW. Yeah, he's training with us now. That's like, I didn't know that. I thought that was going to be secret. Did he just put that out? Put out a video with Al Snow. Yeah, he's training with us. He's going to be good.

He's going to be born for that. He's going to be really good at this. I mean, I've said, like, if he can travel the state and be like, he's going to be really good. And Al, I think Al, like, it's going to be a, that's going to be a good marriage. I mean, just in this little clip of him doing a few basic moves, he looks like he knows already what he's doing. Yeah, we need to get him and Shannon in the ring together.

He doesn't want any of this. 8-9-280, 2287. We'll take a break. Come back. Final segment. Pick the final games here at the Sweet 16. This is KSA. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind.

We're recording it as we tailgate our youth soccer games in the back of my Honda Odyssey. With all the snacks and drinks. Sidebar. Why did you get hard seltzer instead of beer?

Oh. Oh. Oh. Listen to soccer moms on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. That's right. You've got to fight for your rights to party here at the Sweet 16, where Bowling Green leads to Dair County 20 to 19 in the third quarter. Not a high-scoring game. Let's pick the last two games here, Mr. Sweet 16.

Davis County and Great Crossing. Davis County is one of the best shooting teams in the state. Haven't been in Sweet 16 a long time, I saw. Forever. Their best player is a kid named Moss, who's a junior. But Great Crossing, dude, this is a dynasty. These starting five have been starting together since they were like sophomores. I've seen them play since they were in middle school.

Malacanai Marino. They haven't won anything yet. They're a dynasty in the 11th region. Okay. I mean, I feel like a dynasty has to win something. Otherwise, it's just a bunch of guys that played together. It's a dynasty for Great Crossing. Okay.

Malachi Marino, Mr. Basketball, committed to UK. Vince Dawson's a great player. Gage Richardson. I mean, they got some guys that can play. Yeah, so that's an important thing for people out there. Listen, if you want to see a future cat, tomorrow night at 6 o'clock, they're playing here. That's Malachi Marino. He will be coming and being on UK's team.

So you're picking Great Crossing. Yeah, I'm too. What about you? Yeah, they're too good. Going Great Crossing. Also, see their AD down there. Shout out to Austin Haywood and Madisonville Maroon, so I'm going with Great Crossing. Who was the name of the good shooters on Davis County?

Moss. How do you know that? I have a source in Owensboro. Of course you do. He's a junior. In high school? Yeah. Who's your source?

No, the Moss kid. I thought you were talking to a junior. No, Vic Evans, the radio guy in Owensboro. Okay. That's better than having a source that's a junior in high school. I thought you're just calling these juniors. He just calls high school kids and goes, all right, you got, you got an info for me of today. I'll let you use my pool if you give me an info on this roster.

I'll go to be a guest on. Vick's show tonight at 6 o'clock so I had to be ready. Oh wow okay good good for you Henderson County and Cooper Cooper of course fired their coach and then he went and won the region and now there's still you said Cooper you think's the third best team even with a fired coach yeah I think they're probably the third best team in a state this what a great story fire the guy like if he's the third best coach well you know we talked about some reasons like the principal did not like the coach yeah but this isn't about

funzies it's not about being friends About winning. I mean, Mitch Barnhart and John Cal Perry couldn't even look at each other. They made it work for a while. And I think, I may be wrong with it, but I think Tim Sullivan is the only coach Cooper has ever had. Well, that makes it even more ridiculous. I agree. I totally agree.

So they're on a hell of a run, man. Since that happened, they've been playing great. You have some people we should watch out for that before in that game? No, but I do for Henderson. Okay, of course. Henderson's got Connor Davenport. His dad was Joey Davenport. How was he?

How was he? County, second region, superstar. Oh, yeah. So that's old Joey Davenport's boy. Oh, Joey Davenport's boy, Connor Davenport. Shannon Cooper or Henderson County? Keep the coach, fire at the AD. Cooper.

Let's go. Cooper. What about you? You know, I love the Cooper story. In any other matchup, I'd take them, but I got to go with Region 2 and the colonels. They're here for the first time in like 26 years. So even though they were my rival growing up, I'm pulling for Henderson.

You got to watch for Joy, Davenport. boy. Yeah. When he gets going, things happen. Who's up next? Let's go to Call 724 from Bob and James Town. Oh, good. What's up, Bob?

I'm looking for their county, rooting for them. What do you think about Richard Petino taking over Xavier? Well, we talked about that in the first hour, and I think it's good for Richard Petino. And it might be good for Xavier. Might be. I always like that cross-county shootout when Xavier and UC is always a good. game up there. Anyway, let's see in the Dirk County. Get it doing.

Good talking to you guys. Appreciate. They're down 26 to 21 right now. Hey, bourbon lovers. Commonwealth Causes is back with their March bourbon raffle and you won't want to miss it. March 27th. How about this? $20,000, Ryan, worth of bourbon. That's a lot of

We get a lot of fans that come in in between games or maybe the night session you've been all day at the morning session. Come hang out with us. I think I'm going to go to a couple of these games. I've got to go see the kids at Danville Christian that are not allowed to play soccer. If I'm South Oldham, I just hold soccer balls on the sidelines and go,

oh, guys, if you will let us win, I'll let you play soccer. Great idea. You can do some great trolling if you're that student section. Yeah, even though I think Ryan completely made that story. Oh, it's true. All right, so Friday, we're going to do our morning show here in Lexington. most likely at KS. Barr, and then we will probably do a pregame show in Indianapolis. You know, I was talking to my parents.

You know, my mom and Larry's coming. Larry's coming too. 87 years old does not want to miss the Kentucky Tennessee game. How nice. He's caught up in the excitement. Yeah, I'm trying to find, like, what, just logistically. You know, we're talking about doing the pregame show at Tin Roof. Okay.

I guarantee you Larry's never been to a 10 Roof. Okay, to this one, though, and then trying to figure out how to get him from Tin Roof into the arena, find seats that, like, it's a whole thing. So I'm trying to make that happen. Because Larry's excited, you know, he grew up on the border, too, of Kentucky, Tennessee. Will you stop just touching people? That's Dick Gabriel, superstar.

Oh, Big Blue Insider. Okay, fruits and fruits. I think Larry's going to end up liking Tindroof. He'll be a regular. You'll walk in at night, he'll be on stage playing the bass for whatever band they've booked. You just get ready for Larry. He's going to be playing the stand-up base? He's going to have a great time.

All right, well, it should be fun. Thank you to the folks here at the KHSA Suite 16. Who's winning the whole thing? St. X. But nobody will know because you stole their radio. We've got to give it back right now. By the way, just for the radio. He's hovering.

There's some hovering going on from St.X's radio people. They want their equipment back. Thank you all very much for listening. We will see you tomorrow. We'll be at KS Bar.
