I'm Timbo, and every episode, we're cutting through the noise, breaking down the biggest moments in sports and giving you the real story behind the headlines.

A Mormon polygamist and an Armenian businessman. Multi-million dollar house, Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, a billion dollar fraud. But how long can this alliance last? Tell me what you know. Is somebody coming after me? Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle.

So great. Listen to Superhuman on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Stockton Mortgage, NMLS 8259 Equal Housing Lender, NMLS Consumer Access.org. Welcome to Hour 2 of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones. Welcome back. Hour number two, Kentucky Sports Radio, 859-2802287 here live. Basketball Media Day starts. Mark Pope will speak at noon, I believe. And we will, if you go to Kentucky Sports Radio.com and social media will be telling you what he says. That should be good. But we are here in the gym, and this really is. The renovation, absolutely beautiful here, isn't it?

It is. I need to get to volleyball. I saw some women's basketball here last year, but I need to get in here and watch this volleyball team that's undefeated in conference play. Playing great. One of the top five teams in the country. I just found out, not only is Dale Sites, yes, the denim warrior of Henderson. I went to college with his daughter. Didn't even know. I remember her. Name was, I think, Ellie. She was in college with me at Trancy, and I had no idea that her dad was a denim king. Still don't have proof that he's the reason we had denim uniforms. But we do, I think all the other parts are true, so who knows? Maybe truth was right. Can you reach out to her and ask if old dad played a role?

I don't think I've talked to her since we graduated. But I'm sure she's, I hope she's doing great. And, yeah, reach out, Ellie, if that was your dad, I'd like to know. It's a good story to tell. I don't want to get in the way of Henderson's leg. Yeah. A little legendary story. I'm sure if they have, where the uniforms, that story will come out in the next three months.

And you can say you heard it first from the truth. First reported here. 859-280-2287. The caller asked there at the end of the first hour, what I would do if I was Mitch. I mean, first of all, I don't think you make any changes. I don't think that does anything right now. I think you finish the season. I think if things really fall apart, you try to get a resolution before the end of the season.

before the end of the season to do one of those things, maybe like you did with Joker, where like the Tennessee Tech game, you could kind of get everybody to actually show support for what he's done over the years. I don't know that they would do that. I'm not sure Stoops would even agree to that, but that's what I would do.

I think no matter what, if you're Mitch Barnhart, you have to start preparing for the contingency that you might have to do stuff. So you have to figure out the financial part of it. You also have to figure out where would you want to go. And I think that part is important. I think the good thing is I think they have a lot of options, right? I mean, I think you have two of the hottest coaching candidates in the country

have connections to your school, right, in John Summerall and Will Snyden. I mean, they both have, and then Brian Hartland's brothers here, right? So you could make an argument, three of the five hottest young candidates for jobs in big-time jobs are all connected to Kentucky. When's that ever happened? Probably never, right? Yeah, that's rare. Yeah, I mean, that's kind of amazing.

So, like, dude, you should be able to get someone this time. I mean, with that many, you got three strikes at hot apples. And we talk about the disadvantages here, but coaches want to get in the SEC. They do. This is a destination job. It's not a destination job when Alabama and Florida or LSU are open. But compared to the rest of the country, people want to get into this conference. So I think you can go out and get a lot of good names.

There's just one other angle with all this moving forward is if, if Boli keeps making a bit of a jump I think he's played well I think he's improved every time let's say he just starts looking good and they're still losing you've got the awkward like you got to keep him around

and you almost have to take his opinion in all this too you do you know I don't well you have to let me let's see what happens the rest of the year if he continues to be good then I do think you take his opinion in

if he's if he's just average you don't let that make the decision that's what I'm saying if he keep making the, because from South Carolina to Georgia, he made a big jump. And if he makes a few more jumps before the season's over as a redshirt freshman, you start thinking maybe we get an offensive coach with some fire and just try to ride the bowly wave into this next era. Yeah.

All right. Shannon's going to play something here. So yesterday, yesterday I was on ESPN for Matt Meier, and we had Shannon, Eduardo Perez. Do you know who Eduardo Perez? Was he the same Edward that used to catch for the Braves? He did. And he's also, I don't know if you know, he's one of the big announcers on ESPN now. Right.

So he does games for ESPN. And he's like a regular guest on Matt Meyer when baseball's in the news. So we had him on because he was calling the Yankees Blue Jays game that day. And I interviewed him, and I had to be dropped twice on national radio. I've never cussed on that. I don't know how many times I've had to be dropped here in 15 years, maybe twice. Once or twice. Maybe once or twice.

This time, though, was not my fault. this guy's name is not easy to pronounce. And I want to play you this sequence with me interviewing Eduardo Perez, and I got dropped twice on ESPN. Go ahead. First, got to do a little baseball. Eduardo Perez, ESPN's Major League Baseball analyst will be on the call for Yankees, Blue Jays on ESPN radio.

The Yankees lost 10-1 last night. Eduardo, no, my Reds ended up sneaking in the playoffs, so I've been paying more attention to them, even though they're already out. And I want to, you're doing Yankees Blue Jays. I want to go back to game three of Yankees Red Sox for a second. How great was that pitching performance by the guy for the Yankees? I think Schuiler or Schupler or whatever his name is.

How great was his performance? Yeah, Cam Schlittler. Yeah, I may have said that incorrectly. Do you want to keep going? Yeah, okay. I go back. Let's not focus on how I said it, and let's look at how good a pitcher he was. Yeah, if we focus on how you said it, it looks like the Reds performance.

I said it twice. So, okay, so that happens, Drew. Sometimes you don't, you can't. I don't want to say it again. I can't say it. You got to have the L in there. Schlittler. Schlittler.

There you go. But, you know, it happens sometimes, Drew. You can't pronounce the name, and then you end up getting dropped twice. That was funny by itself, but Myron's laughter took it to another level. He's a great laugh. He's a great lapper. But you're trying, you know, you're on the spot. Sure, you didn't get it exactly right.

Not necessarily right. Also, Eduardo Perez playing along, too. Like, oh, that's how the Red Sox played, whatever he said. Yeah, no, that was a really good line. The second thing, before we go to the phones, what about this Mark Sanchez story? This is wild. Wild. I mean, let's update where the story is now, okay?

Let's update where the story is now. He, and you tell me if I'm wrong about this, he was doing, it was 12.30 at night, Mark Sanchez was doing wind sprints in the alley. In downtown Indy. Now, start right there. Right where we did our post game show. That was the hotel. Shannon, were you at our post-game show after we lost to Tennessee? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You realized where Mark Sanchez happened, that was that hotel. Oh, no, I didn't realize that. Right outside. Yes, that's where this all happened. Was the hotel where my mom's hotel, where we stayed and did the thing? Yeah, yeah. That is where this was for the post-game show. He was in the alley doing wind sprints.

Now, just start there. You've been out at night, Shannon, at 1230, and we're like, you know what, let me do a wind sprint. No, maybe a walk, but not a windsprit. In the alley of a hotel. In the alley of a hotel, he's doing wind sprints. It's a bunch of competitive guys. In a city, he doesn't live in, by the way.

Like, he's there for work. He's there for work. You know, I've been on work trips. When I was with Frost Brown-Todd, we didn't do any wind sprints when I was doing document review in Hot Springs, Arkansas. And kind of a job, not irreplaceable because they were able to get someone in, but pretty big job you got coming up on Sunday. A lot of people can talk.

You know, you're pretty lucky to have this job. She's doing wind sprints. A guy is, he has French fry oil, and he's dumping it from the restaurant inside the Marriott. Also a random, just group of words right there. This is the part I don't understand. Sanchez tries to get in his car. Why do we think that happened?

This is me speculating, but Sanchez told him he couldn't park there, which makes me think he was literally still trying to do his wind sprints when this guy's truck pulled up. Like we're doing wins. Oh, you think he got in the way of the wind sprints? This isn't, me, Speck. It does say that Sanchez told him he couldn't park there. This guy who for a living drives around and dispose of waste for restaurants, I figured he'd probably done it before. So in my brain, I have a visual of Sanchez, like, we are wind sprinting.

He cannot pull up right now. It's 1230. But when you put the details together, that's not crazy. He's wind sprinting. He says don't park there. You're probably right. I didn't think of that. So, and then.

There's a, you know, the man is 69 years old, too. This is not. It's a man out working third. This is a 69-year-old man with French fry oil at 6, at 12.30 at night, he tries to get in his truck. Next thing you know, there's an altercation. They both end up stabbing each other. Sanchez is labeled as the aggressor. They both get messed up.

I mean, the pictures of the older guy look awful. Apparently Sanchez walked into a ball. and was just bleeding everywhere. What a bizarre story? The man's quoted as saying, I thought he was going to kill me. Like, how could you get that mad? Let's say it's over his wind sprints.

If you're a former professional athlete, Sanchez is probably about 40, maybe a little younger, right at it, whatever you're fighting about. I don't even know how you can look up and see a 67-year-old man and think I should continue this. If you're built like Sanchez

and there's an elderly man doing his job. I agree. I mean, Mark Sanchez is a big guy. How are you fighting an old man about anything. Where are these knives coming from, too? Do they have pocket knives? That's another question I have, Shannon. What is this?

Like, Westside story? Who is walking around with all these switchblades? All right. It doesn't make any sense. There's a story that says the man pepper sprayed Sanchez first and didn't phase him, so he reached for a knife. Like, how upset is Sanchez over where this guy's trying to park? Sanchez has to be intoxicated.

Yeah, you think? That's what it says. I am. I just, I did not know that people walked around with switchblades. It is a bizarre, bizarre story. And it kept changing, because at first people acted like Sanchez got robbed. And then over time, it kept changing.

And then people jumped in, as they always did. Dan Dockich produced one of the more blatantly racist statements you see in public. When he just goes, see, this is what happens when you have young, fatherless African-American. kids running around downtown. You know your race is when you just insert people that weren't even there. Right? This is a fight between two white men over French fry grease, and he's just like, this is what happens when you have fatherless African Americans running around town.

And then when people were like, hey, the facts don't support that. He was like, so. And that's his city. It's the truth. Well, first of all, no, it's not the truth. But secondly, even if it were, it has nothing to do with this situation. whatsoever. It's like he was just waiting for the,

he had that tweet sitting in his draft, Shannon, just waiting for the moment to get to send it out. Like out, this feels right. This feels like the time. I have to tell you, in terms of celebrity random things, that's one of the more bizarre stories I've ever heard in my life.

And we're still just piecing together parts and trying to figure out. When this comes out, what's the video going to look like? One, gruesome, we hear all the details of how bloody they both were. I just don't, I can't think of if I'm Mark Sanchez, and I'm, you know, typical weekend, I'm traveling, I've got the game on Sunday, sure, I'm probably going out with my Fox colleagues at the hotel bar, but I don't even think, I can't think of a scenario where I would get into it with a 60-7-0-man. You know who his partner was?

Chris Myers. It's always Chris Meyer. Poor Chris Myers. He finally gets a game outside of Carolina. That's exactly right. They finally give him a game that's not in the AFC South. This is why they leave him in Carolina. People can't behave around Chris Myers.

This is why they do it. Poor, I mean, what an insane situation. Hopefully both of the guys, Sanchez and the older guy, hopefully they'll both end up okay. Sanchez thinks already out of the hospital. I don't know about the other guy. You mentioned Doc, it just was the worst, but there was a lot of just piling on the city of Indianapolis. They're like tagging the mayor.

And then out of nowhere, the police dropped that statement like, not so fast, my friend. Yes. And the way they worded it was kind of like everyone shut up. It says he was the only aggressor, the only arrest. But I mean, that was the hotel. That was the hotel. We were at with my mom. That was the exact hotel.

And, like, they acted like it was in the main streets. You remember, that's, like, the brightest, nicest street in Indy. I know that area really well. That corner, there's a few bars there. Probably was in. I don't know which one he was in. It was like, there's like a Mexican restaurant back there. That might have been where they were dumping the grease from.

It's like a little tap room. Yeah. Just a really, really, really strange situation. Who's up next? Eric. Eric, go ahead, Eric. Hey, guys. So this is going back to football, and I hate to drag us back there.

That's okay. But me and my father, season ticket holders, you know, frustrated with the bone-headed, running 30 seconds off the clock before we call the time out and that kind of thing. I guess the reason I'm calling that, you know, if we look ahead, we've played Ole Miss in Georgia pretty good for our teams that are way better than we are. Yes. And we are in a brutal situation, right? We're playing in the toughest conference. We have teams that are superior pretty much every week.

But let's be real. I mean, we've got a young quarterback who's been thrown to the fire. Yeah. And I was pretty impressed with Cutter. Okay, but just give me to your conclusion because I might have to go to break. Yeah, yeah. So in short, let's not give up on these guys. Okay.

I mean, we got Tennessee, Florida, Texas coming to Lexington. No, I mean, there's winnable games. Man, who knows? Who knows? I completely agree with that sentiment. And I appreciate the call. I completely agree with the sentiment of there's seven more games. Let's cheer for them.

Why not? Like, what do you got to lose? So on that respect, I'm correct. We, I genuinely think we're better than we were last year. I just don't know if it's going to matter. You know what I mean? I agree. I do think we are marginally better than we were last year.

I just, we'll see if it makes any difference in what the final result is. 859-28027. We will take a break. Be right back here in UK. It's KSR. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind. Highlights are trending, opinions are flying,

And we're still chasing it. And we don't know when we've done enough. Because people scoreboard watch. Life becomes about wins and losses. Steve Burns, Dustin Ross, because you find it important to be a good person while you hear on earth. Are you a good person because you're afraid? Because that's two different intentions, bro.

Life throws hurdles big and small. The question is, how do you conquer them? On Hurtle with Emily Abadi, we sit down with the most inspiring women in sports and wellness. professional athletes, coaches, and Olympic champions to talk about the challenges that shaped them and the mindset that keeps them going.

From the WNBA standout Kate Martin and rising hockey star Layla Edwards. If a boy can do it, I don't see why a girl can't. Like, I've never understood that. Like, it didn't make sense in my brain. It's hard to be in spaces that no one looks like you, but don't ever feel like you don't feel like you don't belong. Don't let that be the reason you don't do it. An Olympic champs Gabby Thomas and Katie Ladeke.

The ability to show a gold medal to someone and have their face light. up and smile. That means the world to me. And that's what motivates me to win more gold medals. At our level, at this scale, like being able to fail in front of the entire world. Like, I can do anything. I can do like I can do anything. Because resilience isn't just about winning. It's about showing up, even when it's hard. Listen to Hurtle with Emily Abadi on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHart Women's Sports. Yeah, so the Indianapolis police have just said that he'll be charged with the class five felony,

which is, I guess, the way they do it in Indiana, one to six years potentially in jail. So he's intoxicated. One person writes, Matt, who does wind sprints when they're intoxicated? Great question. I don't really get intoxicated, but I've been around all three of you when you're intoxicated, and I haven't seen one of you do wind sprints. Normally, I'm trying to keep you all upright. No one is running during those periods.

Well, one time at the S.C. tournament with our guy manning his group, everyone actually got in the alley, and they were gambling on windsprins hammered. I can't laugh at Mark Sanchez. I did one time race hubby barefoot when he was, and I won, but he always says while I was intoxicated. Remember, Ryan raced his kid outside El Mariachi and fell and messed up his knee. That's right. He got hurt. I think sometimes, guys, when we get a little bit of the sauce in us, we get competitive, it's like, all right, let's go outside of race. I took Ambien, I tried to raise people. See? I bet Sanchez.

You think he had it? Have they checked for Ambien in his system? He was like, all right, who wants some? He was just trying to go to that. Maybe I was closer to these problems than a lot of people realize. Dave 59-280-2287. This segment is sponsored by Cornbread Hemp. Now that, that won't make you do wind sprints.

It'll help you relax. Took it last night after our cover Zero podcast, snooze like a baby. While I even fell asleep watching that show, what's a called Black Rabbit. Oh, I need to get into that. Jude Law and Jason Bateman. It's pretty dark. It is pretty dark.

I'm so excited about this team. I think this team is going to be a lot of fun. I think you've got 12 dudes who can play. I think you've got depth so that when you get the injuries during the year, you're not crushed. I think Jalen Lowe, I mean, the person I'm going to interview today, I haven't done an interview probably since COVID, but I think I'm going to interview Jailen Lowe, because I'm buying all the Jailen Lowe stock. Like, I'm Warren Buffett of Jalen Lowe stock. Okay, money bags.

Yeah, I've bought it all because I think he's going to be a superstar this year. I think, you know, Mark, when he was talking about the statistics of Jalen Lowe and saying, look, man, he took too many bad shots. If we can just keep the bad shots, when he takes good shots, he's a great shooter. I think he's going to be able to distribute the load. I'm going all in on Jalen Lode. We know what we have with Otega Owe, right? I love the leadership of Mohamette. If you go to Kentucky Sports Radio.com, the website, Tyler Thompson has a great feature about him.

Went up yesterday. You should go check that out. you know, I'm excited about the young kids. I'm excited about what we get from Jasper Johnson. Colin Chandler's going to be really good, and I am pumped to watch it. I think this, he's a kid that probably even I was like, I don't know. And now I believe in him 100 percent, and I think he's going to have a big year. I'm looking at Ford to Cam Williams.

That's an NBA player that we don't even really talk about being on the roster. Trent Noah, I think, is going to provide good minutes. My only concern is, this is just from talking to people, I haven't seen it, but does Brandon Garrison, has he taken the step up both in terms of maturity and play that I do think this team needs? I think this team needs Brandon Garrison to be good. If you were to ask me, what is the one part of the team that worries me? I think Lowe is going to be great. I think always going to be great. And I think between everybody else, you will fill those other positions.

But I do think Brandon Garrison has to be good because I think Moreno and Yelovich, while they will be controlled. contributing, they can't be your centerpiece big. It's going to have to be Garrison. So that's my one concern. But otherwise, give me all the Jalen Lowe stock. Give me guys shooting, I think, will be maybe not quite as good as last year, but much more athletic, even if we lose a little shooting. And then I need Brandon Garrison to be good.

What about you? I mostly love the depth because there's a lot of guys where we think they're going to be good, but, you know, let's say they don't. It's like there's another one of them. There's like two of everything but low, and we've heard nothing but good things about low so far, so I'm really not too concerned about him. But I just love that later in the year when you get Quatens back, even if Garrison is a little behind, and I agree with you, we need him to take a step forward.

I mean, you could just go Yellovich and Quaintens, and that even sounds good. Remember, Quintens, that's a whole other thing. I'm not putting him in, but that's a January-February guy. I just think they're so deep. You think that, though, you know, last year we used to say, they've got to have Lamont Bowler. And that kind of ended up being the case. To me that we've got to have him got,

actually oddly might be Brandon Garrison, even though I think he's the fifth or sixth best player. I just don't think you can. I think these other guys, I don't know. I think he's going to get his minutes taken anyway. So you're not, if he ends up being a little disappointing, you're not worried about it. Depends how disappointing.

Just be a little better than that. Now, I'd love for him to make a huge jump and, you know, really stand out. We haven't heard a lot that this summer, I just think that by the time you get to win Quaintance is back, and if Yelovich, assuming he's able to play and look good, Marino could give you minutes. That's my point about it. There's just so much depth here that if a guy surprises us and isn't reaching what we want him to be, I just think the next guy up is probably going to answer that question. Just a really high floor.

Like, whatever they, we were talking about playing on Wednesday of the tournament last year, SEC. I don't see any scenario where we're middle of the conference. If I were to give you an MVP ratings of the team at the end of the year, we rank the MVP. What's going to be your top five? I'm going to go, O.A's going to be one, but just barely over Jalen Lowe. They're going to be a high one, two. Mo Diabate, three, and then four through ten could go in any order. That's going to be my top three.

Which is yours? I'll go OA1, Quaintance, two. Wow, so you're expecting big things. He's a top five pick. Okay. then Lowe, then it's just wide open. I mean, almost said Colin Chandler. You're going, you're going Quaintons too,

even though he might not get on the team until into January. Next June, he's a green room guy. We're going to be watching Quaintons with a suit on on draft. Wow. Well, that's exciting. I mean, if that ends up being correct. That's why I'm not as worried about Garrison. So it sounds like I'm buying all the Jalen Lowe stock,

and you're buying all the Jaden Quintz. Well, to be clear, all my stocks in Colin Chandler, but I do think, is going to be very good once he's ready. All right. So we're big-time stockholders. It's just the depth is the point. We're giving different answers to you.

I'm not diversified. It's all low. Well, then I'm all Chandler. All right. So you're all Chandler. All my chips. All right. We'll be right back.

right poison that's right that's right for sancho's being stabbed yeah well don't go work out for him i think he's going to end up maybe doing some jail time over this uh by the way he gets let out of the hospital immediately to jail you know you have you ever been in the hospital for a long time have not so i was in the hospital for nine days a few years ago and when they let you out you're excited but what if they let you out and then it's like all right now go to prison it's not as exciting. No, and I'm thinking about, you know, sometimes you have a night out, maybe you had a few too many the next day. You just have the scaries, the anxiety. People are like, hey, remember, it's like, don't talk to me. I just want to move on. He wakes up with stab wounds and potentially

jail sentence from the night out in Indianapolis. That's brutal. All right, we've got... Losing his job, I assume. All right, so now we don't have Ryan here today, but we do have stock to mortgage. You and I are used to it. We're all pros. All right, Mario, how are you doing? How do I get his microphone on here, guys. You know, Mario, you can't just grab a mic. You actually have to turn it on. Okay, you got the wrong one. Well, take Drew's.

Take Drew. Take Drew. Take Drew's headset. Your job now is to do Stockton Mortgage. You've listened to Ryan Lindman, do it. Go for it. Do I not get like a... No, you don't get a script.

Oh, boy. Okay. All right. Well, Ryan, am I doing his impersonation? No, you just do. You're just doing the ad. Okay. All right.

Stockton Mortgage is a great time to buy, Drew. I know you got your house, but if you wanted to get a second house, you know, Stock and Mortgage can help you out with that. I know you're looking for a house, Matt. Yeah. Stockton Mortgage, you know, I don't remember the phone number, but I can get you that.

How would I get to it online? Oh, you go online. What's the website? Stockton Mortgage.com. Okay. That's not exactly it, but we'll take it. Now, why? Is this a good time for me to buy?

It's a great time. It's always a good time to buy. Why is that? Well, you know, fall is usually a time where, you know, basketball season's around the corner. Okay. If you want a new house to celebrate the season, you just, you know. But are they, I mean, are they a company that's been in the community?

Yeah, they're equal housing lender. We're an equal housing lender. That's right. Okay. Well, good. And let me ask you a question. How's the market doing? The market is great, man.

Market is the best time it could be. It's right now. Really, that's not what I hear on the news, though. What news are you on? Okay. By any chance, is the company like stagnant? Or is it getting bigger? What's happening?

It's always growing. It's always growing. Okay, I'm glad to hear. All right, so where do people go again? Stockton Mortgage, NMLS 1480. 8259. 8259. Close.

Thank you very much, Mario. Stockton.com. Good job. I thought Ron was here. You know, he started with confidence. I was like, maybe you'll replace him. Things went off a little bit as it went on. What's next?

All right. Let's go to David. David, go ahead, David. Hey, Matt. Hey, David. How are you? Good. Excited about football.

I mean, excited about basketball, but bummed about football. I think that's probably how most of the fan base feels, David. Yeah. On a scale of one to ten, how excited are you with this big, blue man, as compared to others? Like, I remember me this excited for the 2009. Yeah, I mean, it's not a ten. It's not a ten. That would be the John Wall or the John Wall or the.

first couple, but I would say it's like a seven. I mean, I'm probably, I'm more excited than I have been in a lot of years. Yeah, I mean, I'm looking forward to it. I want to see this team. And I like, you know, Mark, I want to see what Mark does in his second year. So yeah, as far as Big Blue Madnesses go, I'm pretty excited. Would you agree, Drew? Yeah, this one's a little different though, because like two weeks later, we get the number one team in the country. So normally madness is the big high so early in October, November, but it's a unique year where we got Purdue, Georgetown, even Louisville, not that far away. And it's on Saturday night, too.

So, I mean, that's kind of different and exciting. So, yeah, I'm excited about it, David. Yeah, and also, the full TV schedule out yet. The what schedule? The full TV for the basketball schedule. Not the full TV. We don't have all the SEC games, but I think all the non-conference games TV is out.

There's, we talked about five or six on the computer, and then there's other games within the SEC. I think the only SEC game time that's coming out was we play Florida on ABC at like 3 o'clock, which would be our first ABC game. Well, we played them, I think, actually last year maybe on ABC, but that's the only game time that we've seen so far. Cool. So appreciate it, David. There you go. Yeah, that should come. When do you think the team, the schedule of the times for basketball will come? Oh, November. Well, the games will have already started by then. Well, the SEC has started doing those flexes.

where we don't even know the days on some of them. It's like a Tuesday or Wednesday. Yeah, and there's, I think that final, I think the final weekend, it's a Saturday or Sunday. You could even have a Sunday game, which you don't see that very often. So, yeah, I mean, they do seem like do more flexes. But Kentucky, listen, we're going to be in the best time slots. I mean, I, what are our chances to win in the SEC, by the way?

It's us or Florida. Us or Florida? That's how I see it. Yeah. Florida's pretty stacked. You know, Aubrey. You don't think Arkansas has a shot? No.

I don't have to go down that road again, but... Auburn and Alabama will be down. Yeah, especially Auburn. I mean, but Alabama, they didn't get the portal class that they usually do. So, I mean, I agree with you. It's Kentucky or Florida. I think the conference is still going to be deep. Like, the Bracketology still have several SEC teams close to last year, but as far as the top...

Oh, there's going to be a bunch of teams that are better. Kentucky will be better. I think they got some guys. You know, if you feel like you keep waiting for Texas one year to be good. Missouri was awesome last year and just folded in the last couple weeks. That was a big win when we won there on the road that last one. But no, I think we're, I need to break the schedule down to do the numbers, but I would say in conference, we have what, 18 conference games?

Is that right? 18 conference games? I would say I'm going like 14 and 4, 13 and 5 maybe. Yeah, around them there. A lot of teams are going to be good. I mean, Tennessee is going to be good. The conference is going to be stacked again. It just won't, I don't think we'll have like an Auburn winning it or Alabama in the mix like they normally are.

Although they could be, but I just think it's a two-horse race at this point with Florida and Kentucky, just looking at rosters. Who's next? Matt. Matt. Matt. Matt, go ahead, Matt. Hey, what's up, guys? What's going on?

I'm sitting out here in my garden, meditating on this beautiful day in Hyman, smelling of my fresh. basil and you are right like when you get out of the hospital like it's the greatest feeling ever i just did i've i've been dealing with some healthy issues the past couple years and um that's what started my meditation yeah um so you're out of the hospital though yeah yeah yeah i'm out i'm out my garden right now yeah okay good yeah i smell fresh basil i yeah okay well good i'm glad you're not in the anything else? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was just curious, I know you've talked about your trip a lot and everything,

but it's so fascinating. South Africa, I actually just started reading about South Africa. They have three capital cities. Did you see any dinosaur bones? It's not seen any dinosaur bones, no. I mean, I saw animals that are alive today, but I did not see any dinosaur bones, But not only they have three capital cities, they have 11. How about this?

Here's an interesting fact. South Africa has 11 official languages, and they recognize sign language as an official language. So they actually have 12. Yeah, I've read about that. So they. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I appreciate the call.

They have 11 official languages, English, Afrikaans, and then the non-languages of the various tribes that began in South Africa. and then they also recognize sign language. So they require all government documents have to be available in all of those various languages if you request it. But like if you go out on the streets, you only see English. English is the one, maybe occasionally Afrikaans, but you mostly see English, but officially 12 languages. That's the only country in the world that has more than three, and they have 12. Did you run in? I know you said it's mostly English, but did you run into places where?

It was almost all English. I mean, you know, when you, I mean, I know there are places where this isn't true, but almost everywhere I've traveled, you can get by with English. The only place I remember English being tough was I went to Slovenia once, and they, I think, take pride in not speaking English. But certainly in South Africa, you know, you got to remember the people that did apartheid were the Africans. So the black people there do not want to speak Africans. So they kind of agree, like, we're not going to speak Afrikaans because you all are our press.

There's nine of our languages, so we can't use that. So they just kind of like compromise on English as the one that everybody will do. And nicer than to include sound language. I thought that it's the only country in the world where sign language is an official language. It should be included. Yeah, I think that's kind of a cool addition. 859-280-2287.

incredible guests. I'm talking. Tripp Fontaine, Ryan Clark.

Life becomes about wins and losses. Steve Burns, Dustin Ross, because you find it important to be a good person while you hear on earth, or are you a good person because you're afraid? Because that's two different intentions, bro. Absolutely. And that's two different levels of trust.

We were God's chosen kingdom on earth. He felt destined for greatness. So when a swaggering Armenian businessman catapults Jacob into an extraordinary world, he doesn't look back. Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, meeting the president of Turkey. I'm Michelle McPhee, and this is one of the most shocking criminal conspiracies I've ever come across. When Jacob met Levan this went to a billion-dollar fraud. But with two kings from entirely different worlds, just how long can their empire survive? The largest tax investigation in American history.

You need to tell me what you know. Is somebody coming after me? Jacob told Levan, you're ruining my life. Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Life throws hurdles big and small. The question is, how do you conquer them? On hurdle with Emily Abadi, we sit down with the most inspiring women in sports and wellness, professional athletes, coaches, and Olympic champions to talk about the challenges that shaped them

and the mindset that keeps them going. From the WNBA standout Kate Martin and rising hockey star Layla Edwards. If a boy can do it, I don't see why a girl can't. Like, I've never understood that. Like, it didn't make sense in my brain. It's hard to be in spaces that no one looks like you, but don't ever feel like you don't. belong. Don't let that be the reason you don't do it. An Olympic champs Gabby Thomas and Katie Ladecki.

The ability to show gold medal to someone and have their face light up and smile, that means the world to me. And that's what motivates me to win more gold medals. At our level, at this scale, like being able to fail in front of the entire world. Like, I can do anything. Like, I can do anything. Because resilience isn't just about winning. It's about showing up, even when it's hard. Listen to Hurtle with Emily Abbot.

a hurdle with Emily Abadi on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. Welcome back, Techie Sports Radio. What is this song, Shannon? Monday morning by Fleetwood Mac.

Fleetwood Mac. I like Fleetwood Mac. You know, I didn't know much Fleetwood Mac. And every time I hear Fleetwood's Mac song, I end up liking it. Like that little guitar song, that you know, the one, Shannon, where people say it's the hardest thing to play in music that we've played that before on here. Yeah, well, I can't remember the name of the song.

What's the name of it? People say it's the hardest thing to play in all of music. It's not. I can hear it. I can hear it too. It's like boo-to-boo. Boo-to-boo. There it is.

Never going back again. Never going back again. That's the one. Yeah, just pull that up in a second. I want to just hear the little do-to-d-d-d-d-beeps because I do like that. I want to get that in my head for this press conference. It sounds like it's in your head the way you did it. It's boo-to-bo-bo-boos.

Yeah, 859-280-28027. Tonight you got Chiefs Jaguars, Liam Cohen for Draft Kings. Go to DraftKings.com, bet the game. We didn't win the KSR party this week, thanks to Ryan, but the rest of us got it. So Ryan lost the first one, but then we won the next. No, Shannon lost too. So Drew and I won, Ryan and Shannon lost. But nevertheless, you can go to DraftKings, DraftKings.com.

promo code is KSR, bet five, win $200. We got Chiefs Jaguars tonight. Liam Cohen against Patty Mahomes and Taylor Swift. Who you got? Jags upset. Go on with the Jags upset. Liam Cohen's been spicy all season. Last week he's fighting Robert Salah after the game.

The week before that, he's yelling at Trevor Lawrence. He's a man on a mission. Jags with the upset. Chiefs three and a half point favorites. I'm all in on the Chiefs. I think they've turned the corner. I think you get the Jaguars. If you go look at it, they've beaten like three bad teams.

Like they haven't been anybody good yet. So I'm going to take the Chiefs to win and cover it home, and you can go and do it. it at Draft King. All right, play it really quick. I'll say, do, do, to do, do to do. To do, bum, bum, bum. So they say that's the hardest thing to play in guitar,

right there. Do you believe that? No. Why don't you believe that? I mean, people say it. I mean, I play guitar. I think I can figure that out and play it. You think you could?

Well, why don't you learn? I think we talked about this a couple years ago, and you said you were going to learn, and then you didn't. I never did. Yeah. I think I could play that. All right. I believe you can.

I'm just saying, I think there's probably like a Metallica song that's a little tougher to play than that. it's like because it's so intricate and you do break them to know more difficult if you'll learn it i'll sing it we'll start a band we'll start a band we'll do a live performance of never going back again we have some breaking news uh oh running on nah clay Travis reporting the ESPN has pulled Paul fine bomb off the air Due to his... Boringness.

Great news. I could have told you that long time ago. That was not the news report. The news report was due to his consideration of the Senate race, not his boringness, as reported by Shannon. You know, I mean, I got pulled off the air for considering it. I didn't like that. So I think that's, you know, but I will say for ESPN, that's their rule.

So, like, I don't know if that should be their rule, but it is their rule. Like, they are very explicit. Like, if you at any point decide you're thinking about running for office, you're out. So he does an interview where he says, I think I've run for office. I thought when he did it, I was like, isn't that against the ESPN's rules? Isn't he going to get in trying? I just wondered if the rules even applied anymore, and I guess they do. Because they specifically tell you the most.

moment you announce publicly, you're thinking about running, we can't have you on the air. So, I mean, he knew that's what the rule was. Can't be doing that when you worked for Mickey Mouse. A little surprise, Paul even went as far as to say it because, you know, he would know that. Well, that means he's doing it. Yeah. I mean, he's not an idiot. Like, Paul knows.

So my assumption was that when he stayed on the air, that, like, ESPN maybe was like it. Because, you know, technically when you work at ESPN, they tell you do not talk about politics. And Stephen A has just been like. I was going to ask that. Why is it Stephen A. I mean, Stephen A's been doing it for a while, so I just thought, well, maybe they're just not enforcing that rule anymore. So when Fimbom did it, I was like, well, I guess they're just not enforcing it, but now apparently they did. So he knew that rule existed.

So that means to me he's running, right? Like, that means he's going to run, because why would you do this unless you were going to, although I guess I kept doing it, got pulled off the air and didn't run. So maybe that's not true. I don't know. That's true. You know, but just where he is in his career, I'd say he knew. the consequences that were coming. It's interesting, though.

So he must be running. Senator Feinbaum. What a world. Paul! I want Fynbaum versus Pearl for the Alabama sentence. I think people should call in Shannon to him and be like, Paul, where's my Medicaid? He just puts him on speaker.

He just puts him on speaker and goes, I went down. Because he's got nothing to say. Let's go to Frank. I went to the courthouse. Yeah. Go ahead. Frank. Frank, what's up? Mac and morning, man. I find it interesting when, you know, people kind of talk about the trajectory of stoops and how everything's been going.

And, you know, there's a lot of things that even have to happen for it to get to this point. But it just assumed that John Summerall is going to come here and take the job and coach. And I'm like, what makes you say that? Like, there's going to be openings at Florida. There's going to be openings at Auburn. Wisconsin might have an opening. Like, all these schools have bigger budgets than we. do for football. They didn't just take a loan out from their athletic department to pay for capital expeditions. And like, they're not operating at a deficit like we seem to be.

Yeah, I don't believe we have revenue. I don't believe we have financial problems. I mean, I think all these schools have financial challenges, but I don't think Kentucky has a financial problem. I think if John Summerall were to be offered a job and he took the Florida job, it would just be because it's a better job. Like, it wouldn't be that, I don't think it would be like we can't afford or anything like that. I think it would just be that it's a better job. I don't think he would take the Arkansas job over Kentucky, because I don't think that's a significantly better job, Drew.

But if Florida came open and he was offered both, I could see why he would take the Florida job, because to me, I appreciate the call. Florida should be one of the five best jobs in the country. Yeah, you would have to take that over Kentucky. I don't care that you played here. Alabama and Auburn were a couple to watch until a few weeks ago, but Alabama's got that figured out

and Auburn does too he's from the state of Alabama is why I would worry about those two jobs opening but as after the results we've got in the last few weeks I think those jobs are going to be staying firm with who they have. Yeah I think so too. I think if we want some role we'll have it. Are you, is Mario

to play two on two volleyball right here in the middle of media day? Does Craig Skinner know you're just starting up games right here with these strangers? It's Mario just taking over the court like Billy. who's next. Barry. Barry. Go ahead, Barry. Hey, Matt. You know, Lindsay Buckingham

plays a variation of Travis picking, which has Kentucky roots. So that's that's the kind of picking that it was in that song? Yeah. Okay. I think somebody told me that. Yeah. When we were talking about last time that it was actually the kind someone said that to me that it was

created in Kentucky. But yeah, go ahead. You know, as Kentucky fans, we can remember every bad call we've ever gotten in basketball or football or whatever are we and even some led to like rule changes are we forgetting are can you name three or four egregiously good call bad calls in our favor that we got over the years well you know you just tend to forget about those because you just assume i appreciate the call yeah you tend to assume like well we deserved it so i don't i can't think of one right off the top of my head i feel like we had a game not that long in the SEC basketball where something happened in our favor at the end and we won and we just kind of moved on.

But I do not remember. Can you think of one? Can't think of one. I know all fans think that they're on the wrong end of the whistle, but I genuinely believe we have a bad home whistle to be Kentucky in both sports. Yeah, I don't know. I know that's part of being a fan. Every team would say that. Yeah.

But I do, anytime I feel like there's a replay, I just brace myself. I don't feel like we get a rup with. whistle. I don't feel like we do. Now, other teams probably disagree, but I really don't. Football, I've never really thought one way or the other that it was. Zion children scored last year. He did. I agree with that. Hey, thank you all very much.

I'm Michelle McPhee, and I've been unraveling the strangest criminal alliance I've ever reported on, a Mormon polygamist and an Armenian businessman.

Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds.
