Another podcast from some SNL late-night comedy guy, not quite.
Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and Friends.
Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier.
This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter Seidel,
help an a cappella band with their between songs banter.
Where does your group perform?
We do some retirement homes.
Those people are starving for banter.

This morning, the internet lost its mind, and nobody's telling you exactly what happened.
That's where SportsSlice comes in.

Your 20s can be so exciting, but they can also be really overwhelming, confusing, and honestly, just kind of lonely.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the psychology of your 20s is breaking down the science behind the biggest roadblocks we face.
I was six years into my career, the 80-hour weeks and just the first one in, the last one out, and I ended up burning out.
There was a large chunk of my 20s that I like was just so wanting to like be out of that phase out of my skin.
And I just like really regret not living in the present more.
You don't need to have everything figured out right now.
You just need to understand yourself a little bit better.

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 walks up to me, he goes,
Hey, ref, my mom wants you to wave at her.
What?
Time out.
Quarterback on office blue with 42.
Hey, rep, my mama wants you to wave at her.
What?
Where's she at?
Hey, Miss Parker.

This is not Matt Jones. Welcome in to Kentucky's
Sports Radio. I am Drew Franklin filling in for Matt Jones. I'm also filling in for
Ryan Lemon. I'm filling in for Shannon the dude. And I'm filling in for our guy Mario
Maitland. All four of them took vacation at the same time this week, leaving me to fly solo.
Got my guy Billy R. Sports. He didn't take vacation. He lives here at the I-Heart Studio. He'll be
staying with me. But, you know, I feel lonely so far. I'm used to having my guys here.
I'm used to just showing up. Matt's done the show prep, but I'm flying solo. I feel a little bit like
Kevin McAllister on home alone, Billy.
Everybody just got on a plane and left me, forgot all about me back here,
but I will defend the KSR house while they're gone.
We'll do some stuff we don't normally get to do when our parents and siblings are here.
We'll eat some junk food, watch some rubbish, maybe get in a little trouble,
but we're going to have a fun, fun week.
First, I guess I've got to do our checklist.
Billy, help me.
You're the one that knows.
I want to make sure I get this right.
First of all, the Clark's Pump and Shop phone line, 280, 2,28.
Wait, already messed it up.
859.
859.
289.
280, 280.
2288.
That's right.
Got it.
Whiskey thief call today.
We'll be looking for that.
Let's give us a call there.
We have the A Vision Auto Glass text machine.
It is somewhere in Amsterdam.
If you want to text that, it will not help us here.
But feel free to blow Matt up as he is across the pond.
And we're brought to you by T.J. Smith, personal injury lawyer.
Call T.J.
And he will make them pay.
There you go.
Hit it all, Billy?
We're underway.
Absolutely.
It's great to be with you, Drew.
Like you've said throughout the week, we're just going to keep showing up and doing our job for Drew.
for Drew Paloosa. Drew Unerrupted was the name that I really liked. I like that one. I know you're going to kill it. So really looking forward to this week and glad to be with you today.
Thank you. I appreciate you sticking around. You just did a good pre-show. Drew Paloosa, I feel like puts a lot of pressure on me. I just want to show up and do the show like I've been doing for a decade. I know the guys are gone, but I want to keep it kind of the same. Drew Paloosa, I think a listener came up with that. It feels like it needs T-shirts, signage, posters. That feels like a little more than I need. It makes it a bigger vent than I felt like.
coming into, even though I am very excited to do this.
Get a T-shirt done, Kentucky branded. We got a graphic done about it.
So I hope you're not feeling the pressure, Drew, but the entire state's going to be listening.
Oh, my goodness. Maybe even people beyond.
Maybe so.
Well, we could start a lot of different directions.
You know, Mark Pope added another player to the roster over the weekend.
Lots of transfer portal news.
But, Billy, I want to start with the state of our country.
How do you feel about that?
Did you see it going that way?
See us going that direction?
I did not know.
The look on your face looks terrified right now.
Just a state of the union to start Drew Week.
You know, well, we've been divided as a nation lately.
But on Saturday, we were all united with Duke giving us an all-time collapse in the final four.
So even though we could talk about our own roster, how it looks, how it's shaping out, what we need, who we're talking to,
I would much rather talk about that meltdown that we saw in San Antonio because I'm sure you're like me.
It absolutely made the weekend.
Cooper Flagg's face when he got called for that over the back foul after the Mississippi.
free throw, incredible. Priceless.
You know, they tried to tell us he was better than Anthony Davis.
You could slurp up the tears.
They tried to tell us Zion was better than Anthony Davis.
Neither one of them got a ring.
Duke led for 35 minutes.
35 minutes over Houston.
They led by 14 with 18, 8 minutes left, 9 with 2 minutes left, 6 with 30 seconds left.
ESPN gave them a 99% chance of winning.
But Houston got it done, scoring 9 points in the final 33 seconds.
did you ever think in that game that Houston could pull it off?
And did you celebrate as much as I did.
I almost went to State Street.
I'm that much of a hater against Duke that I treated it like my own team had won.
I thought the game was over, Drew.
I'm 100% honest with you.
I was starting to move on to other things, starting to look at my phone a little bit more than watching the game.
And they just keep hanging around, hanging around.
And John Shire collapses at the end.
How great was that?
I was stunned, though, weren't you?
I mean, jaw on the floor while.
celebrating, obviously, with Duke Leuving.
I was stunned that Houston was able to make that comeback.
Duke, I think, one field goal in the final 10 minutes of the game.
Chef's Kiss.
I wasn't going to confess to this, but you said you started doing other things.
I, in the second half, turned on the movie Conclave about electing a new Pope.
I had the game on, I had a, you know, I bring out my side TV.
It's usually for NFL Sundays.
I prop it up in a little chair in my living room next to my usual TV.
but Conclave took over the big TV.
I was so tired of watching the Duke Love Fest.
They kept showing Coach K, kept telling me how great Cooper flag is.
So I'm like, you know what?
I got to find out who this new Pope is that they're electing in this movie that won an Oscar
was nominated for an Oscar.
But I had it on, corner the room, kind of watching it a little side of the eye.
About three minutes left, I decided, okay, this is going to the big TV with sound.
Just absolutely love the collapse.
Thought for a moment, you know, Houston got that technical foul.
Yeah.
reaching over on the inbound.
And Kelvin Samson put his face in his hands.
And I thought, it was a good run while we lasted.
But they just continued to get it done.
You mentioned that over the back call that really changed things.
Even though Doug Schaels wasn't a part of that call,
I felt like Doug got some good TV time there at the end of the game.
Really, really happy for Doug.
Big moment for him in that game.
But what did you think about that over the back call?
That's kind of a big talking point as part of the collapse.
Yeah, I mean, listen, it's Duke.
So I think the consensus is that, you know,
what that was a foul. I'm not going to cry over Duke having a bad call against them. But
we've seen a lot of questionable calls in college basketball this year. So I'm, you know,
I'm not going to act shocked when there's a questionable one on one of the biggest stages in
college basketball this year. But ultimately it was just, it was, it was really great to see.
I'm really happy for Kelvin Sampson. That guy's story and about building that basketball program
at Houston has been incredible. Jim Nance as well, you know, shedding tears. It is a good story
with Houston, but overall just glad to see Duke
not in that big game tonight.
One of my favorite aspects
of the game other than Duke
making one field goal for the final 10 minutes.
Really impressive stat from Duke's
7 foot two projected top 10
pick, Malewatch.
Zero rebounds.
You are 7 foot 2
and you are being considered a top 10
pick. Some mock drafts even have him in the top 5.
My man got zero rebounds
in the national championship. And it even
and better statistic. He was a minus 20 and 21 minutes of basketball. How is that even possible?
They're not making up any ground with you out there, but with zero rebounders as a seven-footer,
I didn't realize that, Drew. That is hard to do. That's very hard to do. You can talk about the
overback. You can also talk about Proctor missing that free throw. Shire playing a little
stall ball. There was the stat that he was like 77 and O when Duke has a 10-point lead. Love
seeing him fall apart. Kind of felt like that Kentucky game.
when Kentucky beat him in the Champions Classic,
same situation.
Cooper Flag had a chance to win it against Kentucky.
He slipped.
But in this one,
went to that spin move that Mark Pope pointed out in the Kentucky game.
I'm sure Mark Pope saw that coming against Houston,
and he just fell short, hitting front iron,
and it goes the other way, and Houston gets the win.
A little deja vu, wasn't it?
I mean, just get put Cooper in isolation.
He's going to rotate and then try to shoot,
but against Kentucky,
he obviously turned the ball over.
People told me that Kentucky did trail Duke by 10 points.
I thought that, but that stat popped up that had not happened.
So I guess CBS needs to get their stats correct.
I read it as that had not happened on the pre-show and then I got a bunch of people correcting me.
So I assume that it did happen.
But that was just such a signature win for Mark Pope this year, not only beating Duke, but Gonzaga.
And to see Duke lose was, it was great.
I'm not going to lie.
That made for a great, I guess, what would you say, cap of the day after Florida and Auburn as well, the day before, or the same day.
Yeah, one more thing on Duke, Houston.
Yeah.
How about White Lotus?
Just, they knew.
They had to have known.
It was like episode two or three earlier in the season.
We're not playing spoiler on White Lotus.
I know last night was the finale.
I did.
I won't ruin it for everyone.
But if you haven't seen like the second or third episode by now, that's on you.
But one of the main characters, the dad is wearing a Duke t-shirt,
and he puts a gun to his head for that screenshot of a Duke fan right there with a bullet to his dome.
And we thought this will pop up back up in the instill.
We thought maybe the first weekend in an upset.
It looked like the White Lotus meme had died and then they blow that huge lead.
And that thing was all over the internet, as it should have been.
Incredibly timely.
I mean, with the finale last night, it's like they thought this through.
And they said, hey, our finale will be the weekend of the final four.
Let's put him in some apparel of a team that could be there.
And it ends up being it.
But for Duke to, you know, were they like suing for this or were they saying like they need to take it down?
Or they were whining about it.
Did you watch the finale?
I did.
Yeah.
Well, they did it again with the scene.
There's another scene with the T-shirt.
He's not going to reveal anything about what happens in the storyline,
but they gave us another meme last night.
But just great to see Duke lose.
I know it's not the right attitude you should have when your team's not in it
to be hating on another team so much.
But that's what we are as Kentucky fans.
And they tried a full court pass at the end of that game, Drew.
Oh, yeah.
They tried it.
And the college basketball gods were not going to let that happen twice.
I mean, that one wasn't even close.
Even the fadeaway at the end had a little late-nour-ish to it.
Didn't he hit front iron back in 92?
Yeah.
But on the other game, Florida Advance beating Auburn.
Auburn led for that much of that one.
It was Bruce Pearl's second Final Four appearance after 2019 when he got in,
beating our Kentucky Wildcats and that elite eight stupid tigers in that one.
But I thought it was interesting.
I'm sure that they've featured this on the broadcast.
Lots of people already know.
But the connection of Pearl and Tide Golden, Pearl coached Tide Golden in the Jewish
Olympics years ago.
And then Todd Golden was one of
Pearl's very first hires at Auburn.
He hired his son Stephen and he
hired Todd Golden. So history
with those guys. Then they meet Florida
versus Auburn. First SEC
matchup in the final four.
Did it turn out the way you thought? It did.
It did. I think Florida was my
national championship pick for a reason because
when they play at that tempo, they are hard to stop.
And Walter Clayton showed off his layup
package, man. I mean, boy, was he good.
First player since Larry Bird, I
think to have back-to-back 30-point games in the elite eight in the final four and he was incredible.
He had to be.
I mean, he had to be every sense of the word incredible for Florida to win that game.
You know, Broom has been a great story as the national player of the year and a guy coming
from Morehead.
I feel like I've kind of rooted for him a little bit to a degree for Auburn.
But I thought, you know, it was a good game.
Auburn was up eight at halftime.
So for Florida to come back and the baby face Todd Golden to keep it rolling.
Now is it the youngest coach or the oldest coach could win the title tonight?
and him and Kelvin Sampson.
So I'm looking forward to a fun matchup.
What about you?
What did you think of that SEC?
I was pretty indifferent.
You know, Florida, I guess they're pretty far behind in titles,
but you don't want them getting too many.
They got two.
They won in 26 and 2007.
That's the last time they were there.
So I leaned Auburn a little bit, even though the belts in Ruperina were still fresh
on my mind.
I didn't want them to have the satisfaction.
But you nailed it.
Walter Clayton.
He's special.
34 points.
I mean, that dude was at Iona for Rick Petino.
a couple years ago. Transfers of Florida
has a special year. It makes
us look back on that January
game in Rupp Arena. How in the heck to Kentucky
well, they didn't really contain them. I think it's
107 to 102, but Kentucky pulling that
off looks even better in hindsight. You know what it
was? It was that early start. I mean, Kentucky's such an old team,
Drew, that they were able to get it out of the way, go to that
early bird special at Golden Corral
afterwards and get to bed by 8 o'clock. I mean, those old guys
makes a difference, but it does make you
scratch your head a little bit. How did they beat that
Florida team now that they'll be playing tonight in the national championship.
It goes to show you what this team's potential and ceiling was when they were fully healthy.
Absolutely.
One more note I had from the Final Four, then we'll move on.
We have Corey Price in studio.
He's going to teach us about Kentucky's eight national championships.
I thought it's, you know, championship day.
And since we're not a part of it, we will reflect on the eight times Kentucky did win it.
So a lot of us remember 2012, 96, 98, but we'll start back at the beginning.
I don't have a lot of firsthand knowledge of those.
memories, but we did some homework, and Corey's going to teach us a lot about those.
I like that.
Before we get to that, and the transfer portal news that was big over the weekend, one more
from the Final Four.
Did you see Jelly Roll playing before the Final Four games?
I saw he performed.
I asked the fiancé if she liked Jelly Roll.
She said she wasn't a fan, and then I think we changed it after that.
What did Jelly Roll do as a news?
Well, I like Jelly Roll.
I don't drive around listening to Jelly Roll, but when it comes on, you know, I'll sing a little
bit.
He's apparently the nicest guy of all time.
lives in Nashville.
I have friends that have known him a little bit, golfed with him, live near him,
and they just act like he is the greatest human on earth,
even though, you know, judging a book by its cover with all the tattoos and stuff
might not come across that way.
But I'm bringing him up because in his performance,
his drummer was wearing a Louisville football jersey.
I guess Jelly Roll has a Louisville fan in his group.
Also odd to wear a football jersey at a Final Four event, whatever.
But the cameras turned him, so he didn't see the camera's right on him.
It's a solo shot on this cards fan drumming for jelly roll.
And he just takes his drumstick and licks it from bottom to top while looking at the camera.
It was just, it was very Louisville behavior.
You're on the big stage.
You're wearing the wrong uniform.
But I thought for a second, Louisville was going to have a cool moment being part of the Final Four introduction.
And then my man just licks his drumstick up and down, proving that, you know, Louisville fans, they just are what they are.
Oh, okay.
You know, probably getting a little too intimate with your musical instruments there.
I always think of when you think of Louisville behavior,
the fan drinking out of the garbage bag at the Louisville tailgate.
And you remember that one?
What a classic.
She a full bag of trash and ripped off a bottom corner and just chugged.
Littleville fans get a little testy right now with all their transfer portal additions.
I mean.
We'll get to that next.
They're doing pretty well.
We got a pat Louisville on the back, but not too hard.
Kentucky also got an addition over the weekend.
You had Jacob Polichick from KSR Plus on on the KSR pre-show.
And as he was leaving, packing things up.
up saying goodbye to me. I said, where are you going? Why don't you just stay? We're going to talk
portal. Might as well have Jacob on. So Jacob will do the next segment with us as we go over
where Kentucky stands in the portal, who they added, how the roster shakes up. Corey Price is here.
He brought donuts. He also brought me a gift that he says I have to open on the air. Oh, is that right?
We'll do it later. It's nicely wrapped in a plastic bag. I might have moved there for a minute.
So I'm a little nervous about what that could be. We got Keenland. We got Masters. A lot going on.
But we'll take a break now. We'll come back with Jacob in the news around
Kentucky basketball, and we'll be right back.
Last night, a blown call changed a game.
This morning, the internet lost its mind.

On the podcast cultivating her space, Dr. Dom and Terry Lomax create a space where black women can show up fully and be heard.
I wholeheartedly think, you know, you hit 30, you shouldn't have to share one with anybody.
Mm-hmm.
From navigating friendships and healing to setting boundaries and prioritizing your mental health.
These are real honest conversations.
We don't always get to have out loud.
totally unreasonable with different parts of life, right?
Like, oh, have all three meals and make sure you're mindful during all of them?
Absolutely not.
During one meal, I'm standing.
I'm standing and handing my children food.
Because healing, empowerment, and resilience aren't just ideas.
They're practices.
And this Mental Health Awareness Month, there's no better time to pour back into yourself.

Welcome back to KSR, Drew Franklin, filling in for the whole crew as they take vacations
at the same time.
Billy R. Sports is here with me.
He's going to do the full two hours.
I appreciate Billy sticking around after his pre-show so I can have some familiarity with the KSR personalities here.
I'm tripling my hours of work, so that should be reflected on my paycheck, right?
Big, big money.
I guess we should get to the big roster news, as I mentioned in the first segment.
Jacob from KSR Plus, who works around the clock track and recruiting and all the Kentucky basketball movements was on his way out of the building.
And I said, well, heck, why don't you just stick around with us?
We're going to be talking about it.
you know as much as anyone.
So Jacob, I appreciate you hanging around.
I hope, you know, someone's watching your dog.
I know usually the dog's sitting is an issue.
I hope we're not keeping you away from home for too long.
Is that we good?
Yeah.
If he's going to do damage, he's probably already done it by now.
So what's the harm?
You got a puppy tearing things up or what?
He's got bad separation anxiety, but he's getting better with it.
So he'll be all right.
Well, we'll run through what's happening with UK basketball.
Then you can go check on your pup.
But I appreciate you being here as we react to the big news over the weekend on Saturday.
Kentucky added a point guard to the back court.
Jalen Lowe, a 6375 lefty from Pittsburgh.
He was third team all-ACC.
He has two years left of eligibility.
Average 16.8 points, 5.5 assists, 4.2 rebounds in a sophomore year
for a pretty terrible pit team.
They went 8 and 12 in the ACC.
He's got some good size.
Watching his tape, he can really get to the rim.
Great change of pace.
Makes his free throws.
a good distributor.
Didn't shoot it that well.
Shot 27% from 3 and 38% from the field.
A lot of people are hoping that getting into Pope's system
and having some better pieces around
instead of playing for a terrible team will help his efficiency.
But Jacob, I'll start with you.
What did you think of the addition of Lowe over the weekend?
Yeah, Billy, let me know that people are not too happy about this edition,
but I think it's a really good pickup for Kentucky.
Like you said, he's not the best shooter,
but he's come up clutch in a lot of games.
If you want to get excited about this guy, I urge you to look back at his game against Duke, his freshman year.
So a couple years ago, he hit the game winning shot over Kyle Philopowski at Duke in Cameron Indoor, shushing the Duke fans.
So he's an exciting player.
And I had a pit beat writer text me about him that they're getting a really, really good player.
I'm sold on the big shot in Duke.
Also, he played Louisville twice this year.
24 points, 6 assists in one game, 16 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, and the other.
I even wrote down what Pat Kelsey said about him.
Pat Kelsey said he's a dynamic guard.
He puts fouls on you.
He's as fast and quick twitch as any guard we're going to play against.
He has an uncanny knack when he gets to the rim.
And if you come over, he has this ability at the last second to whoop and fire that thing for threes.
So looks like we'll have to put some shooters around him, but it's a guy that can really facilitate.
He and Oway will make great drivers.
I just mentioned in the negative reaction.
I think he's a good piece.
I think a lot of that is everyone wanted dent.
You know, Kentucky, everybody wants the number one ranked of everything.
You lose dent to UCLA who followed Kentucky's big offer with a big offer of their own and kept him home.
I think, you know, we got to trust Pope.
I think Pope found what he wanted.
I like what I've seen of low.
I like how I can fit and how he can make a big jump.
But there is a little bit of fan disappointment, which I feel like our fans just read the stats on ESPN.com.
They see a site ranked transfer portals and then they're like,
I can't believe we lost this guy when they probably didn't even know that person
was on the planet two months ago.
But there has been a little bit of a disappointing reaction.
Yeah, and I think you're getting low at a much better value than you would have gotten
Dent being the number one player in the portal.
He went for a lot of NIL money, getting a guy like low.
You're not spending as much.
You can build out the rest of the roster.
And he was really, I'd say probably their third option at point guard.
So you're not going too far down the list.
but I think they got a really good player in law.
Yeah, I think Kentucky fans spent all year trash in the ACC,
and now they've got to turn around and talk themselves into a third team all-ACC guard.
But that doesn't mean that he doesn't have room to grow to become a better player
and could be even better in a system like Mark Popes, right?
Yeah, and I think you put him around SEC talent, you put him around Kentucky talent.
He's not going to be shooting as much as he did at Pittsburgh,
so it'll allow him to be more efficient.
And if you want proof of a guy that can shoot the ball a little better at point guard,
Just look at Lamont Butler, what he did going from San Diego State to Kentucky.
I think Lowe could have a growth like that.
And he's lefty.
And he's lefty.
With his all lefty backcourt's getting excited.
A lot of lefties in the team.
Jasper Johnson and Caden Lewis now Lowe.
I don't know what it is about lefties.
And I am a lefty, so maybe I should know.
Gore, you're a lefty.
You just raised your left hand that told on yourself that you're a lefty.
It just, I don't know if it really matters to a defender.
Maybe it does, but it just looks so much better when a lefty shooting ball.
It really does.
I don't know the science behind it.
maybe just because it looks so different,
but it just looks so pure when you got a lefty shoot.
And we got three of them in the back court.
Looking forward to that.
Well, football, too.
Like, you don't see it often because it changes, you know, a lot.
You know, your left tackle is not the blind side blocker anymore.
Receivers kind of have to play a different ball.
But Michael Pennix is doing it with the Atlanta Falcons.
And it's just aesthetically pleasing.
Let's not forget the hefty lefty, our favorite lefty of all time.
Jacob, before you go back to dog sitting,
what else should we be looking for in the transfer portal right now?
The one guy that I'm watching right now is Wesley Yeats.
from USC.
He scored 14 points a game last year.
And Kentucky has already reached out to him.
They're recruiting him.
Another school to watch there is Washington.
So I got my eyes on him.
And then we've got a full list of guys that they're going after over on KSR plus.
Check out KSR plus.
Check out KSR plus.
But, yeah, Wesley Yates is really the number one target in my eyes right now.
He's a great example of the fan overreaction.
You know, I don't know if we'll get Wesley Yates here in a good spot.
but on Friday, Kentucky fans are like, there's no more people left.
The portals closed.
What are we going to do?
And then Wesley Yates enters.
You've got guys entering today.
Rob Wright from Baylor just ended while we're talking.
It's open for two more weeks.
I wrote a big thing about this.
I'm not telling you how to fan, but it's not the end of the world if a guy goes to another
school because he had a Zoom with Mark Pope or that you think the portal's closed
and there's no one left.
Wesley Yates is a great example.
No one was talking about him last week.
On Friday, the sky is falling in Big Blue Nation Saturday morning.
Yates pops up in a good spot there.
Pierre, who I called Jason Pierre last week, still embarrassed by that.
He's still in the mix.
So a lot of good options overall.
Before we let you go, you shouted out KSR Plus.
Things going well there after a few, you know, the dent thing, we weren't not our fault.
It changed on a dime, but you got a lot of heat for that when.
You're doing all right?
We good?
I'm doing good.
I think the people on KSR Plus are the ones that understand because they saw the full shift.
They saw it go from Kentucky's in a good spot.
Oh, UCLA's picking up traction.
Oh, UCLA might have the lead to, all right, he's going to UCLA.
Well, cool.
Keep following Jacob there on KSR Plus, KS Board.
We have a lot of fun.
We have a show thread going every day on KS Board.
Check that out.
But Jacob, thank you for stopping by and dropping a little insight on Lowe,
and we look forward to what you're reporting next.
Maybe a commitment today.
Who knows?
That's not a Ryan Limities, that's just been hoping.
But it should be more pieces falling soon.
Absolutely.
Thanks for having.
Thank you, Jacob.
All right.
Well, we'll take another break.
Corey Price.
We're going to let him talk.
He brought donuts.
That's the least we can do.
So we'll be right back on KSR.
Here is not Matt Jones.
I'm Drew Franklin, sitting with my good friend Billy Rettledge.
Corey Price plugging in his microphone now to get ready to join us before we get to that.
Let me tell you a little bit about court physical therapy.
Spring has sprung and that means you were getting outside more,
whether that's doing yard work or just staying active by biking or running.
For most increased physical activity when the weather gets warmer can lead to aches, pains, and injury.
That's where court physical therapy can help.
At court, our therapists know what it takes to help you heal and get back to the things you enjoy
while also helping you prevent future injuries from happening.
With over 70 locations statewide, it's easy to find a center near you.
Go to court.com.
That's k-o-r-t dot com.
I went to one of those 70 locations, the Beaumont.
They got my back filling better years ago.
Is that right?
So a little personal testimony for me over there at a court.
Did a great job.
We got to get that back lubricated so you can get back on the golf course, Drew.
That's right.
It's been a long time.
We'll talk to some golf.
my hat.
A little master's hat.
It's that time of the year.
The birds are chirping, Billy.
The fake birds are chirping.
A few more portal things that we didn't get to with Jacob.
This just flies by, Billy.
I got a bunch of notes.
It's not going to get to half of them.
That's what happens, but you'd rather be over-prepared than under-prepared, right?
I'm a big prepared guy.
I always want to be prepared.
Kirkcressa, he has a new home.
He entered the portal, leaving Kentucky a week ago, spent five or six days shopping around,
and he has landed at Cincinnati.
He will be a bear cat going back.
Back to the Big 12 for his sixth season of college basketball.
Unbelievable.
Six seasons.
He'll even play his old school, West Virginia and Arizona, both old schools in the Big 12.
But Kerr, we were expected him to enter the portal.
He did.
There were rumors about St. John's maybe being in the mix.
I didn't hear much about Cincinnati, but yesterday news dropped that Kerr will be a bear cat just going across the river.
What do you think about that news, Billy?
You know, shades of C.J. Frederick.
I wish him nothing but the best.
I've heard rumblings that maybe things weren't the best behind the scenes.
But look, that's a guy that even after breaking his foot, he still got back on defense and contested that shot.
I will remember that for a while, despite him not playing only like nine games this year and getting that medical red shirt.
But I know there's some pressure there in Cincinnati for that coach to make the tournament.
He has not made it in four or five years at this point.
But do you feel like the new pit transfer is an upgrade over Kirkresa in the grand scheme of things?
because it feels like it's...
I mean, I don't know that he'll be Lamont Butler.
I was a big fan of Lamont,
but you got to remember this time,
Lamont wasn't highly ranked.
We all rely on these transfer portal rankings.
Anzley Almanor was like number 300 something,
345th.
He was down to Sienna in Kentucky.
Yeah.
We liked Anzley Almanor, all right?
Right?
Yeah, sure.
Amari Williams was like 75th.
Did Amari turn out okay?
Yeah.
It's Kentucky.
We don't always want to have the 75th and 345th person.
I'm not sugar-coating things.
But you got to remember, we don't know what will happen when they get into the system,
get around better pieces, go up a level, Pope's coaching.
The fan base and Rupp Arena can bring the best out of people.
So we truly don't know how these guys will pan out.
But I did like Lowe, especially watching his highlights.
He's fun.
He's quick.
I have had to adjust my expectations.
In year one, because Cal would bring in all the five stars, right?
And you are getting guys from Drexville in the Transyl Portal.
But now in year two, the Transyl Portal is in full swing.
And you've got some cream of the crop in the SEC.
that it looked like some guys value over Kentucky right now.
So it's just, it's a brave new world if you've read that book, Drew.
And I think Mark Pope is the right guy for the job.
But, you know, also I'm not going to expect him to get the best of the best every single time.
I've not read that book.
I have not read that at all.
And if you look at last year's portal ranking, some of the top guys didn't pan out.
The schools that did the best in the portal didn't have a great year.
It's all about the right fit.
You just got to trust Pope on this.
There is one that was a bit of a loss.
we all wanted Yaxel Lindenberg from UAB.
Number one guy in the portal.
Kentucky was in great standing with him.
Pope had flown to see him.
They had been zooming.
He picked Michigan on Saturday.
So that is, if we were going to say there is a loss, that's one that hurt.
However, there is talk that he will still go to the NBA.
So as long as he just goes the NBA and ditches Michigan in a couple months, then we can look at that.
Maybe Pope was out in front of it.
Maybe Pope even knew that was the case.
But in the moment, it didn't love seeing Yaxel.
go to Michigan. You would really hate that if you're all in on this guy. He's committed to your school and then
decides to just go to the NBA. You know, I think of recent recruiting misses with Hunter Dickinson,
with Great Osibor, and both of those guys, I don't think lit up the world at their new stops.
And I think you look back at it and say, thank God they didn't come here, right? So, yeah, I do think
Big Blue Nation, for the most part, needs to pump the brakes and allow this process to play out before
you have your hot takes about how you think Pope is doing. But I, I, I, I, I, well,
I'm not going to lie.
I've had to adjust my expectations a little bit over the last couple of weeks.
Yeah, I mean, we all get antsy as teams started getting additions.
Louisville's done well.
We want to see stuff.
But we also have to remember how last year went.
I mean, we're way ahead of that already in a better spot.
I think people aren't considering assuming he stays.
And so far, it's looking like it will.
I mean, Otega Oway would be top five in the portal.
I think everyone was happy when you took Jasper Johnson from Alabama.
I mean, Nate Oates thought he had Jasper Johnson.
Pope went and won that recruitment.
Caden Lewis down to Duke and Yukon.
Pope pulled him away from there. So there's still good pieces you've got to consider in the grand scheme of things.
And retaining Otega Oway is a huge part of what you want to do next year. And I'm not sure any news has dropped on that yet as he still waits to make a decision. But that's a guy I'd love to see in year two of Mark Pope's system. And think about some of the other guys. Colin Chamler's another one that we expect to evolve. Right. I mean, look at the jump he just made. You know, as everyone knows, two years off from basketball. You get reminded of that anytime there's a game and he does something. But I mean, look at the jump he just made from November to the NCAA tournament.
If I had told you at Christmas, he would be hitting logo threes and stepback threes in March Madness.
You would have thought I'm crazy.
But if he made that jump in a few months as a freshman, what about a whole summer and going into a sophomore season?
What can he be capable of doing?
And not specific to Chandler, but this team improved so much on defense after that Ole Miss game when it comes to Kenpom ratings.
It makes me confident that no matter the roster, Pope can adjust and get them to focus on things they need to.
Corey Price, I haven't been talking to yet.
You've been here.
I think you got here two hours early.
You were here before Billy.
You were here before the people that opened the city center downtown.
That's right.
Where do you stand in your patience and how you feel about the transfer portal movement so far?
Well, first I've got to say a long-time listener, a first-time guest.
Oh, welcome.
First time.
We see at the bar all the time.
I guess we've never put the headset on you.
Everyone just so they know, I guess I better set up.
Corey, if you don't know, and you probably do, we reference him a lot.
Big on Twitter, somehow finds every stat in the world, every newspaper clipping in the world,
every school photo of every person we've ever had on the show,
even school photos of people like Dan Dockich.
Good and bad.
We would like to get to that.
Dan is a great guy, by the way.
Corey can find anything on the internet,
and he's specifically good at stats.
So we're going to get to that a little later.
But back to your portal thoughts.
I would, as the late great, JT would say,
it's now Coach Pope.
He's got it.
Like said, he is a male alum, by the way.
Shout to the Bulldogs.
Yeah. So like I said, last year, we were not nearly at this point. We've already got two guys.
I think I'm optimistic. I'm hoping for maybe the guy from Princeton maybe, Lee.
Yeah, Zavian. Zavian Lee? Looks good. I don't know what adding low will do. You're still looking at Pierre, but he's still an option. He's got some fun highlights. He's another guy that can get to the rim.
Billy, I feel like we had some calls and already lost one that went away. I don't want to run people off. I'm already.
already taking too long to get to the Clark's Pump and Shop phone line.
Well, it's a Monday.
We understand if somebody has something come up at the beginning of the work date.
Are you running it there or is Rick running it?
Rick is running it.
Okay, well, Rick.
Let's go to the phone line.
Good to see you, Rick.
Or hear from you, Rick.
Who's up first on the phone line?
First off is L.L. Koolte.
Love starting my week with L.L. Cooltay.
Thanks for calling in.
Hey, Drew and crew.
Hey, I'm out here in Montana droning the skies.
but I wanted to kind of figure out what we're going to do with our roster.
It seems like we are like point guard heavy right now.
Seems like we need to add a big man down below.
I mean, we got Brandon Garrison and Malachi,
but I feel like we need to add some more size or we might be getting bullet down low.
You're absolutely right.
Before I give my thoughts on that,
you're manning a drone in Montana right now?
That sounds fair.
Is this just like a hobby?
or you're out there for work.
Tell me more about your droning in Montana.
I'm sure that's some good scenery at the moment,
especially at that hour.
Oh, man, it's beautiful.
Yeah, I do it for work.
It's pretty low-key, honestly,
but you do get a couple neighbors who, you know,
get a little edgy with you.
All right.
Well, stay safe out there.
If you can send a picture or something on Twitter,
we'd love to see the droning in Montana.
What's going on out there?
But thanks for calling in.
We appreciate the call.
And he's exactly right.
We're tracking a lot of guards, but a little thin in the front court, Garrison, Marino, as he said,
but he got to go out and get some forwards.
I know he's going to get a stretch forward that can shoot, can kind of fill that Andrew Carr roll,
but I wouldn't mind a little bit of depth there too.
Pretty concerning at the moment, even though he'll eventually get it.
But Kentucky's roster right now as it stands has 10 players.
You got Lowe, Lewis, Perry, at point guard, Oway, Chandler, Johnson, at two guard,
than little Cam Williams Trent No on the wing,
but then it's just Garrison and Marino, Billy.
Yeah, and, you know, in Mark Pope's system,
he's not going to play the bigs 30, 35 minutes,
so you're going to see more rotation and in depth is important there.
I think the guy from Robert Morris, as the stretch four,
is probably one that a lot of people have circled right now,
if you're looking at specific guys.
But, I mean, look, there is absolutely the front court is an issue right now.
They don't have the depth that they need right now.
I'm very confident that Malachi Moreno will be.
be a good player, but will he be the first few games? Will he need to adjust to the physicality
of the SEC? I mean, he is a freshman, so it would be nice to bring in a transfer portal guy
with experience. I like the Robert Morse guy. I'm going to try to say his name. Alvaro
Folkueres. I'm going to say that's correct until somebody says otherwise. It's been quiet
around him, but he was one of the first names to pop up when transfer portal season started. He's
been over in Spain. I guess just, you know, got to go home, check on things. I don't know if he's back,
but the plan has been to get him for a visit.
But that's one I, you know, we don't know that anything's a done deal,
but he seems like a favorite to fill that Andrew Carr stretch four role.
And every year we see more and more Europeans.
I feel like impacting the college and the professional game.
Speaking of, Big Z has a new home in Illinois, I believe, correct,
teaming up with his brother in Orlando Antigua.
So, you know, hopefully his stomach can hold up in Illinois.
It's been quite the journey for him.
It will be fun to see the Avicic brothers there, I guess Coach O,
worked at work the phone, got Big Z to join him there.
Coach O was big getting Big Z here to Kentucky.
Big Z stepping away from Arkansas to go for some brotherly love in Illinois.
I guess I'll root for Big Z a little bit.
I know people are indifferent.
They didn't love his reactions in Rupp Arena.
Oh, yeah.
Bood, whatever.
I'll be cheering for Big Z at Illinois a little bit, not cheering too hard, but I hope things go away.
I don't know.
I'm the same way.
I feel like I'm defending him.
He doesn't know any better, Drew.
I mean, he's just doing what Cal.
told him to do and now he's breaking away from Cal and going up there with Coach O.
You can't take that Georgia game memory from me.
That was too much fun.
Electric. An electric moment.
We got time for one more, Rick?
Sure do.
Ryan's up next.
Ryan, thanks for calling in.
How you doing, Drew?
I met you years ago with a bar and Fern Creek and long hair and old whiteheaded guy.
Oh, yeah, that sounds like fun.
I'm a happy, yeah, you remember me, I think.
Of course.
Anyway, I'm a happy man this morning.
I can't stand, Duke.
And I've got a route for Florida because Billy's talked about Kentucky bands
trashing the ACC or whatever.
They've been to Louisville and the national band,
been crashing at a South Eastern Conference teams for years of basketball.
And we finally proved that we had good teams.
And actually, I think the SEC basketball is better than football.
And it's not all about money because everybody's got money nowadays.
It's about a lot of it's coaching and the players we're getting.
I don't think it's all about money because I think us in the Big Ten had the best teams.
But I also want to go to shout out to the Kentucky administration for put Bellarmine on the schedule
because I like Bellarmine.
I like Coach Davenport.
You remember Richie played for Coach Davenport in that game, you know, in that high school,
game at Ballard. I guess Ballard years ago. But I guess that's about all I got. Thanks to
take my call. We appreciate the call. Hope to see it another bar in Fern Creek. Also, glad,
you know, I don't know the rules on language, but when it's just a slip of the tongue,
like it was more of a stutter than the actual word there, right, Billy? Yeah, I don't know if
intention matters in the FCC finds, but we're going to hope that we don't get one for that.
can I use a callism here for something that you can do whatever you want he was talking about there's no rules this week because he was talking about the SEC.
We just got to make sure there's a show on Monday when everyone gets back.
The SEC and college basketball coaches win games, but administrations win championships.
And I think it has a lot to do about money despite what the caller is saying because the SEC has committed to basketball in many recent years.
You've seen the coaches salaries go up.
You've seen some of the best coaches in the game in the SEC now.
So it's going to be very different than your granddad's SEC or Kentucky just stroll into the SEC championship game every year.
I mean, they are legit and they are here to stay.
So I think I will be rooting for Florida in the championship game tonight for that reason.
I've had Houston on my bracket since the beginning.
I'm going to stick with that.
But, you know, I get people like in the SEC.
As I look at the clock, I'm worried about my national championship history lessons.
I'm already a little behind schedule.
We got a whole second hour.
But we got a lot of national championships.
We got callers.
We got the masters.
We got Keenlin.
We got so much to talk about.
I'm way behind on my notes.
You got a whole week.
That's true.
But, you know, with Corey here, we got to go through our championships.
That's why we brought him in.
Why we flew him in?
Why we brought donuts?
So let's take a quick break and we come back.
We will start our history lessons on Kentucky's eight national championships.
And we'll take more of your calls here on KSR.
We'll be right back.
Last night, a blown call changed a game.
This morning, the internet lost its mind.

Welcome back to Kentucky Sports Radio, Drew Franklin with Billy Relage and Corey Price.
We're about to start our history lesson on Kentucky's eight national championships. But first,
a couple little notes here. Some of our KSR listeners on Twitter have tweeted me.
at Drew Franklin KSR. Hit me up there.
Jelly Rolls drummer is Cody Ash from Mount Washington, and he went to Bullitt East.
Shannon the dudes neck of the way.
So maybe Shannon knows Cody.
Maybe Shannon and Cody were licking drumsticks together in high school.
Probably eating banana croquette, but drumsticks, next thing, yeah.
Also, before we get to our championships, Corey, you were saying that your father and our guy, Rick.
That's right.
In the Louisville studio, we're high school classmates.
Yep, they went to Trinity, a class of 1970.
Yeah, I got that picture.
of them.
That should go rocks.
That's right.
I got picture of them from 68 their sophomore year.
It's a small world.
Very, very cool connection there we have on the show.
But let's get right to our history.
You know, Kentucky's got eight national championships.
We're just going to tell you a little bit about each one.
We don't want to forget, you know.
Some of them have been a while.
We've got like four and 65 years.
I don't like to say that out loud, but, you know, we want to win it every year.
Is that right, four and 65?
Yeah, I mean, we got to, we got to get the, we got to pump these numbers up.
We got to get Pope going.
But first, Corey, let's start with the first one.
1948.
Adolf Rupp's 18th season when Kentucky beat Baylor in the title game in Madison Square Garden.
What else do we know about that first title season?
How sad we have eight more titles than the balls?
Oh, yes, and several more Final Force.
Good note.
They had a 36 and 3 record.
The end of the season, a 16-game winning streak.
They pushed the ball up the floor.
They were fifth in the country in scoring offense at 69.9.
points a game. It's nice. The leading
score was fellow male alum
Ralph Beard. I can do a shout out to mail today. Today is
their birthday. At their first day of classes
on April 7th, 1856. Today's
male's birthday? Yeah. Okay. That's interesting.
Happy birthday mail. 169 years old to Matt High School. Go dogs.
That team had three All-Americans. Of course,
Ralph Beard, Alex Groza, and Wawa Jones. All
five starters were named to the All-Colference team.
I think we were called the Fab Five, huh? Is it that one of our most
famous starting fives of all time.
Nine guys were
picked in the draft from that team.
Seven actually played in
the pros. The
schedule was a little weird for
the conference player. They only played nine
games, but they were 9-0.
One of the conference during the season,
won the conference tournament. As you
alluded to, they defeated Baylor.
5842 in the national title game.
Alex Grozer led the cats and scoring that game
with 12 points. Grozer
was also named the final four most outstanding players.
He was pretty good.
And then during the summer, the starting five was a part of Team USA that won Olympic gold.
They defeated France in the gold medal game, 65 to 21.
Wow.
I like that.
We win the national championship, and they're like, hey, you guys want to just represent America in the Olympics.
Adolf Rup was an assistant.
UK was the first college program to have five Olympic gold medals.
I'll add that stat.
I liked you.
You texted me.
The song of the year was Mignana by Peggy Lee with Dave Barber and the Brazilians.
I guess we'll do a song of the year.
That was number one the week of the finals, yeah.
Also want to add they beat Tennessee three times that year.
Three times.
A little top goal beat them in the SEC tournament.
We love beating Tennessee.
And Cliff Barker, one of the FAB five, he was a World War II veteran, and he was shot down over Germany.
It was a prisoner for 16 months.
And while he was imprisoned, he dribbled a volleyball to polish his skills before going on to play for Kentucky.
I mean, what a different era.
Could you imagine, as we're in the portal right now,
like we're looking at a guy in a prison camp in World War II.
He's been dribbling a volleyball, but that just shows you what that era was like.
I had a couple of World War II veterans on that team, just completely different times.
And 18th season for Rupp before he won a title.
Yeah.
Finally got one.
We'll do a little more on 1948 and move on to 1949 after the break, but Rick's
counting me down after the first hour.
We've had fun so far.
More championship facts, maybe some championship trivia, maybe some Keenland talk,
maybe some Masters talk.
It's Drew here with Billy and Corey, having lots of fun on a Monday, kicking off Drew Week.
We'll be right back after this break.
Another podcast from some SNL, late-night comedy guy, not quite.
Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends.
Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier.
This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter Seidel,
help an a cappella band with their between songs banter.
Where does your group perform?
We do some retirement homes.
Those people are starving for banter.

Your 20s can be so exciting, but they can also be really overwhelming, confusing, and honestly, just kind of lonely.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the psychology of your 20s is breaking down the science behind the biggest roadblocks we face.
I was six years into my career, the 80-hour weeks, and just the first one in, the last one out.
And I ended up burning out.
There was a large chunk of my 20s that I, like, was just so wanting to, like, be out of that phase out of my skin.
And I just, like, really regret not living in the present more.
You don't need to have everything figured out right now.
You just need to understand yourself a little bit better.

And on my podcast, The Clifford Show, I'm bringing you conversations about all kinds of stuff.

What?
Time out.
