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.

Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind, and nobody's telling you exactly what happened. That's where SportsSlice comes in. 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. And we're going straight to the source, the athletes themselves, their locker room stories, their reactions in the moment, and the stuff nobody gets to hear.

It's our favorite time of the year on our podcast point game, the playoffs. We're digging into the biggest surprises of the season. And I'm looking back on some of my greatest playoff moments. If we didn't talk ever again, I was harmed. You just understood. That's how personal it got. Wow. Then after that game seven, Mark keep coming until he's like, you know I love you, dog.

One of the biggest misconceptions about buying a home right now is that you have to wait for the perfect moment. Perfect rates, perfect timing, perfect market. The truth is, that moment doesn't really exist. A lot of buyers pause because of headlines or assumptions.

But every situation is different. Race change. market shift and personal goals matter just as much as what's happening nationally. That's why talking to a local lender can be so valuable. When you contact stock to mortgage, you get paired up with a local lender. That lender will give you your options. That lender will explain the situation. You can ask your own questions.

That's what it's all about. Get into the closing table as simple and as easy as possible. Our friends at Stock the Mortgage focus on helping people and understand their options, whether you're ready to buy now, later, or just starting to ask questions. There's no pressure to make a decision. just a chance to get real information and a clearer picture of what's possible. Sometimes the smartest move isn't waiting, it's getting informed.

Hour number two, Kentucky Sports Radio, 859-280-2287 here at KSbar. We are open for lunch and ready to roll. Rock. Getting ready for Madisonville tomorrow, Kentucky and Vandy. Two o'clock Saturday. Is that what it is? That's right. 11.30 pregame. Be here at the bar. Should be fun. Hopefully have a big crowd here. Two more home games left and then that's it. Crazy. Yeah. We haven't taken any calls, but that's because I got all these topics.

Great topics. They are great topics. One person writes, Matt, calling anyone a dork is the height of hilarious. You're the biggest dork I've ever seen. True, but you wear it. But I didn't go in the locker room and try to celebrate with the hockey team. I would know better. I'm not, I've been in a locker room one time, and it was after UK beat South Carolina in football in like 20. It was Stoop's first big road with.

And they invited me in, and they're playing, whole lot of money, blah, blah, blah. And everybody was dancing, and I was like, I can't, I feel weird. You didn't crowd surf? No, because I was like, I didn't play. play. So I watch for men and I was like, I'm going to go, because it's not. I'm not out there like,

whee! Did you see me show it? Like, I didn't play. You were throwing around the game ball and smoking a cigar? I grant you, I'm a dork, but like that's not the point. One person writes, did Crosby, Stills, and Nash? They said, love the one you're with.

How's that song go? If you can't get who you love, love the one you with. That's right. That's my, that's it. no comment yeah all these people in relationships they will not say they have to have their wedding boughs we're happy in our relationships yeah no I understand Ryan's about to get married right slow down you know the funny thing is every time we play the game he'll be the next to get married the good thing about

Ryan is we can play that game many times it will continue recirculating yeah just he'll keep he loves love he does all right one through 10 Drew I will go with number three. Number three, Mark Pope announced yesterday that Kentucky is going to have a summer tour this year. They are going to play somewhere overseas on a summer tour in games, and he said it is, and he said he couldn't say what it was, but it is somewhere he's never been. He almost sounded a little giddy like he was excited about wherever this location. He didn't say it was somewhere Kentucky's never been. He just said it somewhere

he's never been. So I don't know what his travel life has been like, but he played overseas. So one of the things we could do is just go see where he played overseas because we know we're not going there. Right. When he was in college, they played in Italy,

so we know we're not going there. I thought he might recreate that, but he rolled that out. He said, I had a text machine source. Now, this is not, I'm not, I'm not advocating this source, but they had very specific details. And I went back, they have said something true one time before. They also have said something that ended up not being true one time,

so it could go either way. But they said, and they said with confidence, they said the place and the location, right? Seems to be like some in-depth information. Bahamara in the Bahamas and said Kansas and a couple of other teams would also be going there this summer. Now, again, that's not official. This is from random text machine person, but you know what?

We're all friends here. We're just speculating. I don't know if Mark's ever been to the Bahamas. I haven't asked him. And this is a different island, I think, right, than the island we went to before. Same island just down the beach a little bit. You can see it from the Atlanta's beach. Really nice.

Weren't they building that or had just built it when we went? Yeah, it was pretty new when we had been there. I think when you and I rode in the back of that truck, that guy was like the next time you're here, that'll be open. I almost went last summer for vacation. It's really nice. So Baja Maris, what this person says, but again, I don't know if that's true. It feels like in the years past, they've given us a lot of notice about this. This would be, if they're going in July or August, this is.

You need to get the word out there. People make their plans. Four or five months away. Yeah. But still, it would be very exciting. I love summer basketball. Yeah, and I've wanted to go to that particular place for a while. So I would love for that to be it.

when he said somewhere we haven't been, I know there's that Dubai. Yeah, or him and Jenna, there's that Dubai, Royal Palm, whatever, and I'm like, please don't plan that when he was talking about it. So I would love for it to be the Bahamas. You thought it might be Dubai? No, I don't know. I don't have a thought, but that is existing this summer. So I thought, please don't be that.

I thought that Dubai thing, though, was regular season games. Whatever it is. It's a regular season. Yeah, Tom George's kids put it on, so I'm sure it'll go well. season thing. Point being, I was just running through countries that it could be, and I was like, God, please don't. I don't want anything there.

Well, I don't know what it is. He also said fans would enjoy it. I think it would be hard for fans on five months notice to get to Dubai. But the Bahamas is, you know, some people could get there. Either way, I like the idea of playing summer basketball. Now the question is, will we have a team? Who will be on the team? But I am excited about the idea of playing.

So it will be like a round robin with three. four different, we'll play three or four different games, do you think, something like that? I mean, you're just making that up. I don't think we play other college teams. I think the idea, though, is there will be a bunch of teams there that will all play. Because that's what's happening. Yeah, like we've normally done. Yeah, when we were into Bahamas before, I remember Ohio State was there, and Murray State was

or it's Moorhead State, like other teams. North Carolina. So I think it's something like that. Yeah, and then you get the randoms that we meet in the casino and hang out with, then you look up and they're playing basketball the next day. Yeah, so exciting stuff. One through nine, Shannon. Give me number seven.

Seven. Yukon St. John's last night. I watched it. So here I was all excited, turned on the peacock. Yep. I only watch Peacock for the Tour de France, the Olympics, and this show called Ponies. Have you seen that? Have not seen it.

Don't know anything about it. It's good. It's about women. Who cares? It's good. It's called. ponies. Turned it on, put the game on, route.

Rick Petino's worst loss ever in his career. St. John's third worst loss in the history of the program. They missed their last 24 field go attempts. O of 24 to end the game. They couldn't buy a bucket last night. Can you imagine the practice they're going to have with Petino after that? They had eight minutes left in the game. They had 36 points with 8.

Eight minutes left in the game. Their last made basket, there was 17.5 minutes on the clock. Their final field goal. They didn't score for the final 17 and a half. I think he had some free throws, but their last made basket. I had to look up his post-game news conference. It lasted like a minute, 15 seconds. That was it.

I already didn't come out at all. He was out in the hallway, but outside the locker room. Yeah, he didn't come in the media room. Didn't have fired the gym? Danny Hurley was asked before the game, what kind of relationship do you have with Rick Petino? Did you see his answer? No.

He goes, none. Does he have a relationship with anybody, though? Well, he said, to his credit, I mean, a man needs to know his weaknesses. He said, yeah, I'm not really friends with anyone that coaches. There you go. Well, I mean, maybe that's what you have to do, though. Do you think? He's honest.

I mean, he's like, I mean, the last three coaches to win a national title have all been, let's be honest, jerks. Danny Hurley's won two and Todd Golden I mean he's got his whole thing too so I mean that's three in a row and we saw Rick and Cow do the pretend to like each other when all of us just it went out the other year because we know it wasn't true

I like that he's just Hurley did that podcast together yes that was awkward can you see Hurley doing a podcast with someone do you remember when Cal just thinking of randomly when Cal did the

you could call a phone number and he would give you update about the team. I'd forgotten about that. I don't remember that at all. I didn't go over very well. Do you not remember this? He had some sort of like scheme.

What is? I know this happened. I know CoachCal.com. Do you remember? There was something you call a number and it would give you like a recorded message. A recorded message of Cal talking about

the news of the team. Yeah. Shannon, I'm not. I don't remember. Like a Cal hotline, huh? It was like the old W.W.E. Hotline. 99.

I don't know if you had to pay. Or was it a text? It was something to do with the phone. And it lasted literally like a week. I don't know anybody that did it. I don't remember it. It was out there, though. I remember thinking when I heard it, like, this could be big.

And then it just went away. Everybody would have the same scoop, though. You remember, he also started a new podcast. And he, with, he started a new podcast. right before he took the job at Arkansas. He had Michelle Obama's brother, the Oregon State coach is his first guest, and then never did another one.

You remember that? It was called like the leadership podcast, and he literally did one episode and then never did another one. He had like a... Oh, forgetting all these cows. No, I remember that. It was called the Calcast.

I don't remember the recording. I was trying to look that up. His coach cow.com in the early days had a little bit of a money grab to it. We have to find what it is. Yeah, the T-shirt. There was no. What?

You remember the phone? No one remembers the phone but you, Ryan, which worries me, that you're the only person. It was a phone or a text message or something that fans could dial in. Someone out there remembers this. And it didn't last very long at all. I also remember coach cow.com did have a subscription service because I had to tour his bathroom. Do you remember that? And there was a t-shirt if you're at a certain level because I have one and it has the Twitter logo on it to follow Coach Cow.

That video is out there online of me giving a tour of Coach Cowell's bathroom, which is really embarrassing in hindsight. I get in his shower, I think. I don't remember that. You know, you definitely get the shower. I think it was at the Crafts Center, right? Yeah, it wasn't in his house, but it was Coach Cowell, wherever it was, Cal Perry had his own shower, and I got in it.

Good reporting. It sounds really bad. He's where he stands without clothes on and lathers himself and so. Why did I do that? Looking for timeouts. I know. I know I'm right about that. I believe you.

There was a lot of little money grab things on the Coachcow.com early days. Yeah. Well, anyway. So, Patino, yeah, it was the cow. Oh, yes, they were called Lexis. Look that up. That's what they were called. Lexis.

They were called Lexis. What is it? Lexis. They were called, and you could call, and you could get a Lexi from Cal. I'm starting to have a memory of this. I'm still trying, here we go. This is from the Herald Leader, John Clay. Cal knows how to combine the two from Coach Cow.com, his audio clips on Lexi to his Twitter followers.

John Clay's quoted one of them. Yeah, find out what the Lexi was, because I think you called a number, and it would be like, hello, this is John Cal Perry, and it's such and such a day. This is your Lexi. I remember it. I just don't remember any people had to, if it was a text message or a call, but something you would get if you called this certain number. Yeah.

Yukon, by the way, sorry, the Petino loss was his second worst loss of all time. Do you remember his first worst loss, which was here at Kentucky? Kansas. Kansas. 150 to 95. And his minute 15 news conference, he brought that up. You know, his team missed their last 24 field goals,

and then Cala Perry's team made like their last 14 field goals last night. Both our coaches had completely opposite endings last night. I'm having a good time going back. So tell me about the Lexis. First of all, this was not one of the topics, but I'm glad I remember. First of all, I don't remember this, but this is so him. Here's a New York Times article that says coachcal.com gets 100,000 views a day. I don't believe that.

I do not believe that. That was not true. And he was in the process of starting the Chinese version of CoachCal.com. Are we, most of the guy's name? Laudeau. Laudeau. They brought a guy from China and he followed the team for a year. We love that guy.

I do not believe he had 100,000. No, he didn't have $100,000. But there's a lot of Coachcal.com. You can get a Lexi autographed hat from legendary head coach and Lexi Castor extraordinaire John Calapary. So he was a Lexi Castor. He was a Lexi Caster. Wow. That didn't last very long.

No, it didn't. Now I'd like to go back and hear what they were. Is Chinese coachcowel.com still available? I want to read that. Lowdou was great. I love Lowdo. I have selfies with him on my phone to this day. In New Orleans?

Do you all remember there being a Chinese guy that was following the team around? A Chinese newspaper hired Lowdou. He followed Kentucky around. Was it 2012? Was it the year we won the title? He loved him. He was my seat neighbor at every game. He was awesome.

And he really didn't know much about basketball. He had no idea while he was here. He had a Chinese Twitter he showed me. He was incredible. Yeah, he would tweet about the games in Chinese. I found audio of a Coach Cal LexiCast. Oh, yes. This is, okay, no, no, no, we tease, okay.

What a tease. What a radio host for this one. Yes, you're going to stick through the break to hear this. Yes, you are. I am. This Lexi. Find your perfect match this month at Don Franklin. Choose from over 6,000 new and certified pre-owned vehicles.

month, I'm bringing over a decade of my own experience in the mental health field and conversations with so many incredible guests. I'm talking, Tripp Fontaine, Ryan Clark. Sometimes when we're in the pursuit of the thing, we get so wrapped up in the chase that we don't really really that we are in possession of the thing, 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, 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. I want you to just really be a good person.

Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHart Women's Sports. 859-2802727274. Text machine, 772-754. Very surprised how few people remember. Usually, I mean, I can say anything about UK basketball, and someone will say, yes, I remember that. The Lexis have gone to history. It wasn't around long enough for people to even know about it. Ryan Limb and I are the only ones that seem to remember this. Further tells me he wasn't getting $100,000 a week.

Yeah, I mean, there's a couple people on the text machine, 772, 7754 who say they remember it, but not many, which is very rare. So, Shannon, you're saying this is a Coach Cala Lexi? Yes, this is video of Cala Perry recording a Lexi, but it serves the same purpose. So here's his Lexi. All right, let's go. This is Cal Lexi from this is 2010. All right, folks, this is Coach Cal for Lexi. I had to call you.

I know I'm usually calling you in the mornings, but I'm calling you now because of all the NCAA tournament stuff that's out. You know, we win the SEC in a dog fight. I don't know how we won the game. If you figure it out, send me a note and tell me how we won. I have no idea, but we did win. We had to travel back, race to my house to see where we'd fall. We knew we'd be a one. We needed to know what region and who we'd be playing against. Well, then I had to do a few things for DirecTV, mega March Madness, which I'm helping

him with. And then Brad, my son, wanted to go out and throw baseball. So I had to do that. Now I'm on my way to go watch some tape of East Tennessee State. And I'll tell you, I am so juiced up about this tournament. We have a hard road now. And I understand where we're one of the hard. I think Kansas has a hard road also. They're all hard. I mean, there's no easy way because you're going to have to win games. You have to take, there's going to be upsets. There's teams you think you're going to play. You're not going to be playing. But it's going to be a tough road. And then with a young team like we have, oh my goodness, but I'll tell you what, I've got a talented young team and I'm anxious to get after it and I'm just hoping we've grown

through the weekend. All right, so that's Alexi there. 2010. So that was because we played East Tennessee State that year, right? Yep. I think we did. He says we're a one seed. Yep. This is from March 15th, 2010. Wow.

The John Wall team. And he said, how did we win that game? That was the Mississippi State game in the tournament where we make the comeback. Yeah. Wow. So. I mean, just hearing that, to me, a great idea for 2010 where people could call and get an update from Coach Cowell. But he said he called them.

Yeah. Did it just phone ring? So he would call you? I guess do you subscribe? Yeah, he would call you. Maybe send out a message to everybody to subscribe. It sounded like a long way conversation to me. Wow, can you imagine you get a phone call and Cal Perry's just in your ear going, hello?

This is John Cal Perry. Wow. The Lexi. All right, well, that's from the past. Ryan, one through seven. Let's go number eight. One through seven, number eight. Stop being it.

Don't be funny. Just one through seven. You and I have this conversation. Don't try to be funny. You're naturally funny. When you try to be funny, you frustrate me. one through seven. Let's go to number one then.

One. All right. I was going to lead the show with this, but then I decided to do this thing. Give me your best case and your worst case scenario, best case, worst case scenario for the rest of the season for UK. Drew. Best case, worst case. Best case is Aberdeen and Oway and Chandler play, you know, their best basketball like we've seen, consistently throughout the SEC, and then the combination of Yelovich and Diabate give you what they gave you the other night.

You stay healthy, and that group in Marino take you to the second weekend. So best case for you is Sweet 16. Yes. Worst case? We don't win another game at all. Okay. That's a plausible scenario. And I don't think that will happen, but it's not impossible.

Well, probably going to be an underdog, all three of the games left. The scenario where that happens is you lose the three regular season games. You end up with the eight seed because Texas loses a couple times coming down to stretch. You're the eighth seed. You play Texas in the first round of the SEC tournament. But then if you lose that, your NCAA seed, you're an underdog. 11 seed and you lose in the first round of the NCAA. Now, I think that's extreme, but it's not non-zero chance.

That was going to be my worst case. There is a worst-case scenario where you do not win another game. Best case scenario for me, beat Vandy and A&M, lose to Florida. You end up like a sixth seed in the SEC tournament. You end up playing like Arkansas in the quarterfinals, beat them. Play Alabama in the semifinals. Get hot, beat them. Losing the finals to Florida.

Go to the NCAA tournament. You're a seven. seed, win your first game, draw a two seed that stinks, upset them, get the Sweet 16, see your match up, things go crazy good you win and you go the elite eight. Not likely, but that's best case. Ryan, I'm still a believer that these guys, they are good shooters. They're going to find their stroke. I know we're running out of time, but I still believe that Trent, Yelovich, Jasper,

these guys, they're good shooters. They're just not hitting their shot right now. So I'm going to hope my best case scenario, they dial in, find their stroke, win two of the last three. I'm going to Tennessee and M. Lose to Florida, get to the SEC tournament. And I'm kind of Drew. Just get us to the Saturday.

You get us to the weekend of the SEC tournament. Get into the NCAA tournament, go to the Sweet 16. Maybe you have to upset somebody in the round of 32 to get to the Sweet 16. Everybody's excited in that way. So if we lose in the Sweet 16, we're not as disappointed. Shannon. Best case scenario, team. Your worst case, lose out.

Yeah, you guys are all. You nailed the worst case. All right, go ahead. We're, worst cases lose out. You end up, what, 18 and 14, and I don't even know if you make the tournament at that point. You make it. You make it, but you're probably a 10 or 11 seat. Best case scenario for me, this team gets hot.

They end up a six seed in the NCAA tournament. They beat the 11, get an upset over the three, make it to the sweet 16, and probably lose there. Okay. So we're all in the same ballpark. Yeah. But it is interesting. Just think about the different. in React, we all agree that either of those scenarios is possible, right?

Not win another game, Sweet 16. Think about how different this fan base will be based on which of those two very plausible scenarios could happen or anything in between. It's amazing. And I don't think we would be surprised if it went either way. I can see it happening in the bad way and the good way. I could too.

I could see us beating Vandy Saturday. A&M's been on a complete You know, they've been falling down. You could win. Yes. You know, you draw a two seed and it's Nebraska.

Are you scared? I'm not really scared. But I also could see a world where it all falls apart. So, I guess we'll just be along for the ride. Got that going for us. Call Lexi and we'll keep you up to

date during the run. We'll be right back. T.J. Smith, personal injury attorney. Call T.J. He'll make them pay. Now, more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones. Welcome back, Techie Sports Radio. 859-28027. All right, one through six, Drew. I'll go number four.

Number four. Okay. Let's see, one. Oh, I guess I've done more of these than I realize. One through five. You're still doing four. signature before Tyler Bell baseball player for Kentucky

they announced yesterday may be back good news some rumors Jeff Drummond said may actually be back for SEC play that's huge which seems wild to me but would be huge for Kentucky baseball they ended up winning that game

yesterday against Western okay you know the initial indication was that it was a pretty serious shoulder injury maybe after they got in there and did the MRI or something found out, okay, yeah, we can rehab and get him back by the end of the season. So it would be a big boost to get him back. I think yesterday people at the game noticed it wasn't in a sling.

And, you know, if you're out for a year and if you're really going through that, that thing's probably going to have something on it. It looked like, you know, he wasn't out there throwing the ball around a lot, but it didn't have anything on it, which is a good sign. Let's talk about our other injuries. Zero chance in your mind, Jane Quayton's plays. Is there a number below zero? It's been zero for me for a long time.

Yeah, it's been zero for me since January. Zero? Yes. Did you, you have been zero from the beginning. Was that scoop or was that just Ryan Lemon scuttlebutt? Just a little scuttle butt. No scoop, just a little scuttle butt. Like I said, I mean, I think, I don't know this,

but I think there could be another injury that has happened. And maybe that's why it's swelling up all the time. And I don't think his dad was too pleased with the way things were going. We only played three games. Yeah. But in the last game, he only played like eight minutes. Yeah, and if he was going to come back, he would have already been back. All right.

Even if you're healthy, what's the point coming back for a couple games here? Cam Williams. Sounds like he's trying. I just seems very optimistic for a guy coming off that injury. Just immediately, once he starts practicing the conditioning, all that goes into it, be able to help you out. Would you, I mean, let's say that he was ready for the SEC tournament. You think you'd make a big difference?

It would help. I just wouldn't have high expectations of him making a big enough impact to matter. But if it's the SEC tournament, Trent still hasn't made a three, and your bench hasn't taken a step forward, then another body won't hurt you. That's what I'm going to say. That's a really good point. With the way Trent and Jasper have played, it could be huge just to give some rest to those guards occasionally. I mean, I don't want a lot of rest, but you could give them a little bit.

bit of rest. It couldn't hurt by at least having somebody out there that could go out and maybe knock down a shot for you when you need one. Those days of him playing 15 minutes are long gone, but if you can get, you know, five or six. You don't think you can play 15? Not off the bat. Like Drew said, the conditioning, he hasn't been on the conditioning since when was it January. I mean, that's a long time to be out off your feet. What are the chances you think he plays? I mean, if they made a deep run, you know, you're buying them a little more time, I will say 5%. I was going to go 10.

I'll go more than that. I'll say 15 or 20. I think he's trying. I don't have a doubt he's trying. I just think that's a big ask for him to get back and be able to help you in that timeline that he has in front of him. I think his attitude is right, no doubt. Wembers and rights, Matt, sometimes you write things down.

I want you to write things down right now with everyone on the show, players that will be on the team next year. here. I'm writing it down. I'm writing right here on Sunday, March the 1st. I'm going to do Matt Jones's first. All right. These are the ones that I, this is not could. This is with, like this is your prediction. And of course, we can change this, but this is for today. Okay. Malachi Moreno Colin Chandler Cam Williams

Brandon Hawthorne Braden Hawthorne Braden Hawthorne and I'll go ahead and say Jalen Low those are my five I'm going five Drew I will say Cam Williams

Colin Chandler okay oh boy no malachi i'm thinking i'll say malachi all right got to get malacow that's important i will add hawthorne all right uh put diabate on there diabate all right so we both have five but we differ as to who the fifth is actually you know it give me yellowvich yellowvich no diabate or do you want to do but we'll keep them both so you got i worry i worry we're going to run it back okay so you got six part of it's part of wants to say Brandon Garrison. I know that sounds outrageous, but Pope clearly loves him, but I'm not going to say it. But you're not going to say low. No, I'm not going to say low. All right. Shannon. And I was on defense about Trent Noah and Jasper Johnson, but I left him both off.

I got four. I'm going to go. Well, you want to run this whole thing back. No, I, no part of me wants to run it back. I think this is what we're heading toward. Okay, four. Shannon, go. Low Chandler, Moreno, and I think Garrison just to frustrate the hell out of you for another season. Wow. So no can. No. low Chandler Moreno Garrison Shannon with the typical least pet optimistic or depends I guess how you look at it I mean I think it would be an improvement to get more players

and different than these guys You have low Chandler-Morraineau Garrison That's quite a forcum I bet nobody else has that forsoe All right I think the three we kind of agree on Malachi Chandler and Cam Except Shannon I'm going to go to the Malachi

Chandler Cam I'm going to Trent And that's it Those four Okay, so I have six, or no, Drew has six, I have five, you two have four. We all have Moreno, Cam, or no, you don't have Cam. So the only two people all four of us have are Moreno and Chandler. We all feel good about Moreno and Chandler.

I lived into Moreno. So Chandler is the only one. Everyone feels 100% certain is back. I'm not 100% there either, but I would say he's the most likely of the bunch. Okay. Moreno, you would say second? No, I would say Cam second. Okay. But he doesn't have Cam, so I can't put him. Yeah, I just think Morano's phone's going to be right.

So if we're doing the correct, if we're doing the collective group, Chandler most likely, or excuse me, Moreno second, Cam third. We all kind of agree that's the top group. Hawthorne, neither Ryan, you nor Shannon believe he's going to play here. They didn't play this year, so. I was thinking about it as the current guys. Do you think you'll play here? I would put him down on my list.

All right, so now Ryan's up to five. All right, so we all agree with that. No one has Jasper returning. No. Is he the least likely to come back? See, I thought maybe Yelovich might be one of the least likely to come back. He may even just go back overseas and, you know, may not even play college ball here. I don't think he'll do that.

I don't think he'll do that. He can make more money here. I just don't know his connections. His entire team, his entire team came to college. So clearly there's more money here. here than there is on his team. He might go to another school, but I don't think he'll go back. I just don't know his opportunities. Why did you say, who do you think is less likely? I was just trying to think. Jasper, I only know, but to say he's the least likely, I was kind of

running through the roster in my head. I guess he's my answer. Now, why are Shannon and I the only two that have a low? I just hope they go find someone that's not coming off a shoulder injury that plays a little more. Like the Demery at Yukon that they talked to, last year, that type of guard who's having a great year, I hope they go get. They're definitely going to go get a point guard. I think that alone may chase him off, chase Lowe off, and they go get somebody else. I think that's a fair argument. I think if Lowe is back as the starting guard, we whiffed.

Like, you can't. I like that Lowe tried, and I hate that he has the injury, but I don't know you can put all your chips in with a guy coming off a shoulder injury. I'm holding out for my man. I think everybody. I think it's a different team. It's a different team if he's healthy all year. I still don't think it would have been great,

but it would have been better than what we have. Our bottom would not have been as bad. Yeah. Our bottom has been very bad this year. But we might have never gotten Aberdeen, and he's awesome right now. Fair point. But I don't think we lose by 40 to teams if he's on the team. Right?

Yeah, if he was healthy, you're trying to juggle O.A., Chandler, Aberdeen, and Lowell at the same time. But then you could have a four-man rotation. Right now we just have three guys and then pray. They're our best three guys. Which I do think is difficult. If you're paying for premium roadside assistance or getting gouged for phone insurance, go to UK Federal Credit Union. Not only can you have your money in the Blue Vantage checking account,

they're packed with benefits that go beyond the basics. 24-7 roadside assistance, ATM fee rebates. That's good. Dark web monitoring. Ryan needs that about every week. Go to UK Federal Credit Union, the official credit union, the University of Kentucky.

realize that we are in possession of the thing. 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.

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.

Welcome back, Tucky Sports Radio. True just reminded me that Reese Potter left Miami of Ohio and they're undefeated.

I won again. That's brutal. I didn't think about that. That's tough, yeah. He played close to 20 minutes a game for last year. They're going to finish undefeated. Are they, do you find them? a good story or do you not find it lame because they didn't play anybody it's a good story but

you know if it gets to the point where they lost their conference tournament i'm not i don't think they should be rewarded it's neat that they've won every game in front of them but it's not some big incredible feat if our best case scenario happened and we were like a six or a seven i would love to see them on the other side of the draw i don't i don't i don't think you i don't think you could pick a better team for kentucky to get in that scenario because i mean no offense to him i just don't think they're obviously good, but they're not like really good. And they've been tested, but not like. Not really tested.

And a real, you know, Kentucky's, I'm not going to say elite, but you know, a big program from a big conference coming in and smack into the mouth, they haven't had any challenges like that. Yeah, I mean, if they had just played one game against a big conference team, just one, where they won or not, you'd have an idea. They'd at least have a little experience. But you have no idea. So I would love to, of all, I would love to see that as our opponent.

And I can see the selection committee doing that, high-profile game, undefeated Miami of Ohio playing Kentucky. Yes, I can see that happening. I think best up to them. It would. It would. Wichita that year. All right, a couple things real quick here that we didn't get to.

I want, next week is the high school regional tournaments. Yes. I want to pick, Ryan, a region to go watch. Like, make a couple. I want to pick a region to get emotional. emotionally invested in. Okay. So which region do you think will have the most competitive tournament this year

if Matt Jones wanted to be emotionally invested in a tournament? Well, you wouldn't have to go too far because the 11th region has got Madison Central probably the best team, and Frederick Douglass and Bryant Station are both really good. So the 11th region, it's always good. It's going to be good again this year. It's not a fun answer, though. Like, I could go to that any year. Is there another reason that has multiple good teams, or at least very competitive

Louisville again. Again, that's the same thing you're running into. I assume you're trying to get out somewhere you don't go very much. I've been to the Louisville ones a lot. Lexington, I haven't actually been a lot. But I'm thinking, like, is there, there's got to be some region out there that has three or four good teams that's not always. The 10th region is usually pretty competitive.

GRC is still really good. So you don't know. We always had much lot of fun at the 13th region tournament down there, but I don't think any of those teams are like powerhouses this year. All right. Well, there goes my excitement. I mean, Madison Central would be a good one to see. They're really good. Yeah.

Is that in Richmond? Where is the regional tournament? I'm not sure whether they're playing the 11th region tournament this year. But that's going to be a hell of a tournament. When's the last? Madison Central, this is the best they've been in many years, right? They won the state title with Dominique. Is this the best they've been since then?

Probably. Yeah. That was what, Dominic Coch and them won like 0-7-08, whatever that year there was? No, it was a year we... It was later in that. Yeah, it was a year. Oh, yeah, because Cal went to watch the game. the year we missed the tournament. It was 13 because Cal went and watched the game and then

Hawkins played so well he gave him a scholarship. So I think that was 2013. And they got a Feldhouse at Madison Central Theater. He's committed to Belmont. Oh, is that, is the fell house kid? Yeah, he's good. Yeah, he's really good. He's got some size. All right, so I did read a study, Shannon, I thought you would like. Okay. They say, they have found a study that says, you know, people claim people have a natural scent. Do you believe that's true? That, like, people have... They always say married people can smell the scent of their other.

Yeah, that's probably true. I'm not talking, like, perfume or cologne, but just like a natural scent. Yeah, sure. I believe that. Do you believe that's true? I believe it. I think dogs prove that it's true. Why do dogs prove that it's true?

They can smell like something like a sock and then go find that person. Yeah, that's true. You get a point. Okay. So, all right, fair enough. They say that starting at the age of 49 to 50, your natural scent changes into a different scent. And they're trying to figure out biologically why that happens. That you get to a certain age and your natural scent becomes completely different

and that older people then smell completely different than when they were younger. Start to smell like being gay after that age. Do you agree with that? The reason I'm bringing this up is I'm going to cross that line relatively soon. You have already crossed it. So you have already changed your smell. Do you think or if people told you you smell differently? I haven't got that, but it's probably they want to tell me.

But, you know, we go visit your grandparents. They always kind of had a different smell to them, I feel like. You never visited my grandparents. They were dead when I made you. Leave my grandparents out of this. Back in the day, when you used to go visit your grandparents, they always used to have a little smell. They smelled different.

Mine didn't. Maybe you were young. You didn't smell. You've got a very sensitive smeller, too. I tried not to smell my grandparents a lot. Yeah, I just thought the point being, what is getting me, there are all these studies coming out that basically say,

between the age of 44 and 49 is the moment that your body like starts to go all right that's it like we're heading in a different phase of our life and I don't feel it but I'm kind of worried like it's going to happen like tomorrow overnight you're just going to wake up and smell different yeah I'll let you know tomorrow in Madisonville if you smell different No, but I mean, I've been like, I guess it's just you tend to focus on what affects you. I just keep reading all this stuff, and it all says the same thing that you go through 44 to 49 and then like 72 to 74 are the ages that your body makes major transformations, basically ages. And I don't feel it. Like I'm in better shape now than I was 10 years ago.

But I'm just worried, Drew, like, I need to go do. do everything right now because it's about to fall upon. Got to take care of yourself. Could it be, you know, when things start going bad, start to smell, getting old and we're raging. Yeah. You're starting to get a little. Did you notice that as being the age?

Yes. You know, you start growing hair where you've never had hair grow before. What? Things don't work that used to work. I wish you hadn't asked him, Matt. Peeing all the time. You've got to pee twice in the middle of the night. Can't get a whole night's sleep without.

going into the bathroom, dribbling all over the floor. See what you get to look forward to. That's, that's, welcome to the 50s. Dribling all over the floor. Yeah. Yeah. Things just dribble. Crossing over people in the bathroom?

You know, you're right. I should have asked him that question. That's on me. I'm going to take that one for the team. That's on me. I should have known. I should have realized he was not. the person to ask.

I should have brought in a special guest, Drew, to ask that. Now, I got visuals of ride in my head I don't want. You lose hair where you want hair. You start growing hair, we don't want to grow hair. My nose, my ears, hair is growing everywhere. Your ears? Yeah, hair coming out of my ears. Oh, yeah, old people get hair coming out of their ears.

I've seen that. All right, tonight, draft kings. draft kings.com. VET 5 win $200. If you use my promo code KSR, March Madness is coming. We got a lot of parlays and excitement happening. So you might as well get in now.

Only one big game tonight in college basketball. Again, on stupid peacock, Michigan State at Purdue. Oh. Purdue is a seven-and-a-half-point favorite. Purdue gets done. They just destroyed Indiana and took that loss to Michigan before that. I think they're in a good spot, even though they lost that game, and they'll win big. This is for the two-seed probably in the Big Ten tournament.

Yeah, I watched the Purdue-Indiana game. They just destroyed Indiana. The Purdue's kind of got it figured out. They're kind of rolling right now. I'll take Purdue to win, but I'll take Michigan State to cover the seven-and-a-half. You give me seven-and-a-half. It's a lot of points for a game like that. They'll play them hard, but I'll take Purdue to win, but Michigan State to cover.

Shannon? I'll take Purdue as well. I think they do cover. Okay, there you go. By the way, after a two-and-a-half-week hiatus, my hurricanes are back. in action. I get to see my favorite person, Tracey, on the television. You miss him? Oh, that's right. We're going to be in Madisonville.

They probably won't show the game. We'll find it. We'll get it for you. We're the best town on earth, Matt. We'll get whatever you need. Madisonville. We'll see you tomorrow. $10,000.
