Our number two here, Kentucky Sports Radio 859-280-2287 at the Bespoken Spirits in Gray Line. Good crowd here.

Go to clubbluenil.com we have the blue label and the white label of bourbon and of course it helps benefit the UK Nil program. One thing I forgot, Shannon, I meant to mention about the president's thing also, you know, they sit next to each other, look like Obama and Trump were like big buddies. I know right off the British, British newspaper the Guardian, they hired a lip reader to try to see what each other was saying to each other. What did they pick up? Well, one time they were. They had two different interactions. On one interaction, they couldn't really pick it up. They said that they weren't f. But on the other one, apparently Trump said to Obama something like, there's something I need to talk to you about. I need to talk to you about it immediately. Let's talk tomorrow. And that was that. But they did. And Trump and Obama shakes his head yes, I just want to know what Trump. So I wonder what it was immediately, we have to talk tomorrow. Who knows? I would like to know what Trump said because at one point Obama starts laughing. Trump's got jokes, huh? Well, I mean he's a funny guy. Charismatic. Leave aside every other thought I have about him. He's objectively funny in sort of a bizarre way. So I'm sure you could, I'm sure you could laugh. All right, so one of the things I like to do, I like to keep you all up to date. You know, the Kentucky legislature started, and this happens every two years. You may forget this. We do this every two years. I tell you the bills that they're bringing up, and you tell me whether or not you're for. All right, okay. We can sell it right now. So they're going to continue over the next three weeks to promote bills. So I give you the bill. There's a guy, his name is Rudy, last name Rudy. It's like Stephen, maybe Stephen Rudy from out in the western part of the state. He wants to change the law to where now instead of getting permits at 16 for driver's license, you get them at 15, and instead of getting your full license at 17, you would get it at 16. So basically, you would get a permit a year earlier and you would get your full license a year earlier. When I was a kid, you got it at 16, but now it's 17. So it would take it back to 16 and then allow the permit to go to 15. Do you like it or not? Shannon, go first. Horrible idea. First of all, there are enough bad drivers on the road as it is. We need to take drivers off the road, not add more on. I am saying absolutely not. I'm striking it down. So you're, you're a no to Stephen Rudy's bill? Hard no. All right, Ryan, as a dad who just went through this three times with his three sons, there is absolutely no way I'd be in favor of this bill. I like the fact you have to wait till you're 17 to get your full license now, because trust me, they need that extra year to become a better driver. Yes. Okay. No. You mean he's a yes. I would love it if Ryan gave a passive, passionate speech on the House floor and then went and voted the exact opposite way because he didn't understand which one. All right, go ahead. I was leaning yes, but Ryan knows what a 15 year old's like. I don't. Are we not ready to put him out there on the road? But can I give you the, can I give you the case? I, I, I'm on your side. I kind of think no, but I'll give you the case that I think they make. Okay. You're thinking of it in the context of Lexington and Louisville. I think the context would also be out in the rural parts of the state where maybe for, you know, various farm reasons or stuff, it would be helpful to have a kid who would be able to drive. And there's not as much traffic out there. You have a lot more open road. And so, like, you're thinking of it in the context of Lexington and Louisville, but maybe the context for him, especially since he's from the western part of the state, is the more rural area. Think about Otwell. Could they drive around Otwell? Yeah. I was driving at 14 to go mow the church grass from my house. Okay, so then why are you against it if you did it? Because my kids are not ready. They. I saw them firsthand. But were you ready at 14? No. Driving a car or a tractor? Little car. All right, so now I didn't let you vote. Go ahead. I'm still saying yes. Let the kids drive around. Whatever. They're vaping and tick tocking and there's no rules. Well, maybe that's not a reason to have them drive around. They're vaping and tick tocking. I. I was on New Circle the other day, and a car almost ran me off the road. They came all the way across, and I pull up on him to get a look, and I swear this person was nine years old. I just thought, I guess this is the world we live in. Yes, you two or no? Let's do a survey here. How many of you would be yes? How many of you would be no? Everybody else? So the NO's are about 85, 80 to 85% here at the thing. So. So there you go. That's my. That's our poll. You know, Drew hit on something. You know, every kid that age or they spend 24 hours a day on their phone. I mean, they're. They sleep with their phone. You think that's gonna change a year later? So I think you want to keep up, keep that off the roads as much as possible. All right, well, speaking of phones, let's go to the second one. You know, if by net, the Supreme Court today, I think, as we speak, right now, is hearing the arguments in the TikTok case. All right, the TikTok case. Basically, if. If the Supreme Court doesn't do anything. TikTok is banned in America in, like eight days. Basically, they. The. The Congress, The Republican Congress passed a bill which Biden signed or no, I don't remember, for Trump or by. I think Biden signed it, but Trump was for it too, at the time. They were all for it. That basically said if China Didn't. If the Chinese company did not sell Tick Tock, they'd be banned in America. That law is about to go into place. Tick Tock is sued and said, hey, we have a first amendment right to, to, to, to, you know, be out there. The government says national security means we, this company will just give all this information to the Chinese government. So for national security, we can't let that happen. But I'm not asking what you. Because it's a tough legal argument actually. It's actually very close. But in your mind, what do you think about Tick Tock may go away? The Chinese company says we're not selling. So they're like, if you take us off the market, oh, well, in eight days, we're gone. I think we should keep Tick Tock. I think that China already has all of our information. The minute we get on our phones to do anything to begin with, whether it's Facebook, Twitter, I mean, they can literally now in America. Let me, let me just give you the argument. Before you go throwing your hands up in the air, let me just give you the argument because I think it's a lot harder than people realize. If you give your, if you give your information to Apple, there are laws that keep Apple from giving all your information to the government in China. There are laws that require the company to give the information. So yes, you're right. But like, do you want China to have your Social Security number? Do you want it to have your credit card number? Do you want it to have your banking information? They've already got it. Well, I don't know if that's true. I mean, they may now. Yeah. Because of Tick Tock. Also location data, where you are at any given moment, where the population centers are. I mean, just, they use this example about when government phones had Tick Tock. There are like, if, if government phones went to a building and all these people that the Chinese knew were got, they might find where you have weapons, like stored, all kinds. I mean, there's a lot at stake there. I get it. I'm not saying they should ban it, but I think it's close. I, I would vote to ban it, but my fear would be in eight days later there'd be a, a Rick Rock. Or there'd be something, There'd be another replacement, something else that would do it. A Rick Rock. Mick Mock. Mick Mock. There'd be something to replace the Tick Tock with the Rick Rock. Well, there will be, but it'll be American and then our concerns won't be a problem. Yeah. 90 years there'd be a Rick Rock and then there'd. No, Drew's right. I think the hope Drew, it would be Instagram. It'd be reals. We already have it. Everything would just move to there and then we can control that a little bit. But I also want you to think about the people. There are many, many people in businesses that have based their entire existence on having Tik Tok. Yep. Mario for instance. Big reason why we hired Mario was so we would have a presence on Tik Tok. Don't worry, we won't get rid of you if, if it goes away. But I mean it is a major force in the economy and I don't think people process that in eight days it could just be gone. Just like that. I was gonna vote that it should be gone. I didn't get to vote. Yeah, well, I didn't ask go to vote. But I. But I thought they were. But I do wonder like what happens if it's just gone in eight days? The younger generation's head will explode. They'll all move to China. Do you think the younger generation realizes this is about to happen? No clue whatsoever. You think maybe there'll be Tik Tok videos about going away? There are people being very upset. So you would, you would get rid of it. Yes. I already think it's silly. We're giving all this to China. I think we talked about this a few weeks ago. We're having dog faces with these filters and they're just getting our facial recognition. You said locations. They have everything we need and we're just dancing and giving it to them at every turn. There would have been a time in America 10 years ago. This would have been a no brainer. This would have been a no brainer. They'd have been like, of course you can't have that. Of course we're going to ban it. Any company that is giving our citizens information to our. To a foreign power, you're out. But the thing is everybody kind of likes Tick Tock and so. And so. And they're worried that people are going to get mad if they ban it. So the thing with that though, they're like Ron said, it'll probably be Instagram, but everyone will. Just one will pop up and it will be huge. And within a year. Yeah, we'll just stop saying Tick Tocks. They'll be reals. They kind of already are. There's a lot of people that. The only reason we know they exist is, is Tick Tock. And then in eight days could be gone now. They're gonna have to go outside. Who's up next? Dave. Dave. What's up, Dave? Good morning, fellas. How y'all doing? Good morning. Good. Good. Here in Louisville, Kentucky, Watching it snow. Yeah. Be careful driving here. Is it snowing right now? It's snowing. Not real bad, but it's coming at a pretty good clip right now. Oh, man. Shannon, be careful. All right, so go ahead, sir. Maybe take it off soon. Definitely be careful. So I got. Got two things to say here. First off, I'm. I'm worried about this Mississippi State game this weekend because I'm. They're gonna be really beating on us and holding us and pushing us and punishing us. So I think it's gonna be a telltale game. You have a reason to be worried. I think all those things are going to happen. Correct. And one more thing before I hang up. I'm making sausage gravity here. That's a good thing, but I'm glad. Yeah. Matt, I tried. I tried to get your OA thing going in RUP arena for the Friday game. Excuse me. Yeah. It's been great this year, but they're not doing the O way away. And it's a sad thing. One of these days where we're gonna regret it, we're gonna look back and go, we had a great chance to have a chant. We didn't do it. Well, Drew heard me. Drew heard me because I was standing right there by press row, and he pointed right at me when I did it. There are about 15 people trying. Whoever. Those 15 in Rupp arena that are trying every game, they're. They're giving their best effort. It's just not catching on. All right, I got something for you here, Ryan, real quick. Yeah. This is the Club Blue. This is the Blue Bourbon. And this is the White. All right, I want to get a sense, since you did this before, of. No, no, don't pick that up. I'm giving you one as we go. Okay. This is the blue. This. You did a tasting where you described what you were tasting. Let's try that now. All right. Describe to people the Blue Bourbon. Yeah, get that nose. What's the scent? What is the scent? Put your microphone down so people can hear you. There's definitely, like. There's a fruit there. What kind of fruit? I don't know. A lot of different fruits. It's like maybe an orange banana. Orange. I'm going to say orange. You're going to say orange? All right, now sip it with your. With the. This is the blue, you drink like an old kind of chew it a little bit, get those flavors out. Two hand. Yeah. What do you got? There's cinnamon. I'm orange and cinnamon. Is there orange or cinnamon? Sort of. Okay. All right. That's good. All right, now try the white one. All right. This is. Or, excuse me. This? Yeah, this is the white one. This is the white one. I need. I need a little water. I got a. Where's my pallet? All right, look, we're on the radio. You can't just sit there in silence. You got to go if you want me to tell you what it smells.

That's a great song you played there, John. I really like that song, Shannon. Don't you? Daddy let me drive. Alan Jackson. That's a good one. That's right. That's a great song. And it talks about let kids driving. Which you two are against. And Drew's 4, so you have to be 25. You think there should be. You think there should be an age limit? Like an age you can't drive anymore? I think. Well, I'm not going to say no. No, I don't. But I think you should have to go back and maybe take the driver's test again. What age? What a. Okay, so I can go with that. What age do you think you. What age? Now, listen, we have a lot of older listeners. Shannon, you are on the sp. What age are you gonna look at the great senior citizens, the greatest generation our country has produced? What. What age are you gonna look at them and say you need to go take your driver's test again? How about every 10 years? You mean everyone every 10 years? I don't believe that that's. That would be you. First of all. Our government would never be able to do that. We're not efficient. I can barely renew my license. Yeah. You know how long that would take if everybody had to take their test every 10 years? All right, you want me to put. I need an age. We got to have an age. 70. So 70 is the age. All right. Ryan, would you have an age? My mom, by the way, is 70. Just so you know, she's not gonna like that. She'd pass it easily. Okay. I would think at 80, you should take it every two years. Two years? Yeah. A lot of. We don't. Again, we don't have that kind of resources. But you. I. So you would. But you say the first time. 80. Yeah. What about you? Something around 80. I actually totaled a car. The person that hit me was very old, and it was a bad accident, and she did not need to be driving. So I've lived this a little bit. Yeah. Sorry. I would say I'm probably in the middle of YouTube. I think maybe 75, 77, something like that. Eight from nine. But I. I think having an old. I don't think you want to ban older people from driving, but they probably. There's a time you do need to take a test again. I don't know what that time is. And now they've added what? The vision test is a part of everything. That's true. I like that, actually. 859-280-2287. One person writes, Matt, I'm riding my car with my daughter. She heard you talk about Tick tock. She did not know this was happening, and now you've made her sad. Thanks a lot. I guarantee you the younger generation does not realize this is about to happen. Yeah. I mean, and I thought, I assumed at some point they would just sell it to an American. I was like, this is business. They're just going to sell it. But the Chinese company said we are not selling it because it's big in the rest of the world. And they're like, well, fine, we just won't have America. Well, then it's going away then, right? If that's. No, it just would go away in America. It'd still be interesting. That's what I mean for America though, if they're just hell bent on no, we're not going to sell it then. Unless the Supreme Court today flips it. I will. See. I mean, I don't know if they will or not. Who's next? Gary. Gary. Go ahead, Gary. Hey, Matt. Hey, man. What's going on? I've got a proposal. Getting to speak to the most influential voice in Kentucky sports in the state of Kentucky is okay. And my proposal is that they introduce the three point line to help the boys that could shoot. I want to introduce something that would help the playmaker and that would give a half an assist to a man who makes a pass and the fella goes up to shoot the ball and he gets fouled. The young man doesn't get the assist, but the man gets to go free throw line and shoot two free throws. Why not give a half an assist? I could be wrong about this. Probably am. But if they make a free throw, don't they get an assist or. No, they do not. Okay. People are telling me they do not. Yeah, I would think you, I mean, I don't know that, that I don't think anybody's thinking, I'm not going to pass this ball because he's going to get fouled and then I won't get the assist. I don't think people think like that. But yeah, I mean you could, you could make that argument. There are people who have said, and I appreciate the call, you should have the hockey assist where you get the pass that leads to the past. Sometimes there are people who've made a claim that should be an assist, but the shot didn't go in. So no, you don't get an assist on the, on the foul. Yeah. I mean, to me there's an argument that if they make the two foul shots, Ryan, I'm giving the assist to the ref. He's the one that gave the player the ball. Am I crazy or is that, did that used to be a rule international? It might have been changed. The rule now coming from the all time assist leader at my high school. I got an assist if you got it down low on. The guy was fouled, but he had to hit both free throws. Had to hit him both. And so that's. That got changed. I don't know when it got changed. I think Fibo might still do that. Feels like that should be an assist. If you, if you, if you, if you get a pass, guy gets fouled and he makes both free throws, to me, that should be an assist. But who's Stoops the other night or not Stoops. Pope the other night was talking about. We brought up assist numbers were down. He's like, we don't look at assist numbers. We look at the pass that was made. We don't care if the shot went in. It was. How good of a shot did you set up whether they were fouled or made it or not? Because it's all about setting up the best shot. Yeah, that. That actually makes sense to me too. Who's up next? Jordan. I remember a few many years ago, Patino was the first one to count deflection. He was like, you know, deflections are a step to a steal. And even if we don't happen to get the ball, I want to encourage deflections. And now every coach does it, but Rick is the first person I remember doing that. Go ahead. Hey, Matt. I've been teaching for about five years now and just every student that is their primary social media app in a way. It's just how they interact with each other. So it's going to. And none of them really know unless they've been following. So that'll be interesting to see. Because Instagram or Facebook has never been taken from the generation that's used it. It is very hard to take. It's very hard to take things from people that they're used to like. Once somebody gets used to it, it is really, really hard to take. It's a lot easier to ban before it starts. But once somebody, Shannon, has something that's right, it's very hard to take it from him. But go ahead. It'll probably be better for me in my habit. But with. What do you want to see in the Mississippi State game coming up that'll really help you feel about Jackson going forward? And just. I want to see him. I want to see him. Oh, Jackson specifically. I appreciate the call. I want to see him have a big game against a good team in a. In a road environment. I mean, he had that game at Gonzaga. I'm kind of holding on to that to say, you know, he won us that game at Gonzaga in a lot of ways, so. But I just. I still feel like for this team to be final four level good, he's got to be really good. He's got to be a dude who you can count on to make big shots. And I need to see him do it in one of these road SEC environments. And we know it's in him. I actually watched BYU last night. I went back a year and dug up their game at Kansas where they won because I was looking for a Pope technical. And late in the game, Robinson hits a big three, and he's flexing. There's just so much emotion. And I don't know if it's a personality trait, but I feel like in a lot of these games, the moment somebody gives him a forearm or gets up enemy, he shies away a little bit. I want to see a little more of what I saw on tape in Lawrence where he was the one bringing the fire to the game. I feel like he's one of these guys, Ryan, that, like, his first two shots decide his game. If he makes them, he's good. And if he miss, I mean, you go watch his first three threes. Against Georgia, he had three threes in the first six minutes. First one in and out, second one short, third one airball. It's like they got worse each one. And that, to me, almost seems like a confidence issue. And then he kind of disappeared after that. So he's too good to disappear, especially in big games when they need him to step up and be the guy. He just hasn't been the guy. But one time. I think all year, Carr said it best. They all need to get nasty. Like, they need to have a mean streak in them, including him. He needs to do that. Yeah.

Isn't it doing very well? Right. Like it's gone out and people seem to really like it. So I'm glad to hear that they have the white label and the blue label. And thanks to bespoke experience, we will be here again next week. Rare back to back, back to back. Remote situation. Had a couple people already check in with me. Say, can you take tours of their distillery? They're, they're, it's right behind us. You know, they're, they're, their production lab is like right behind. Feels like you should be able to do that if, if it's right over there. If it's right behind us. 859-280-2287. Good question. Here. One person writes, Matt, if it's a Chinese company, why do they have First Amendment rights? Well, everybody has a First Amendment right in America, but like it's different levels based on whether you're a citizen. But generally speaking, the Supreme Court defers to the government on national security. So if the government says, I'm doing this for national security, they usually defer to it. We'll see if they end up doing that on this one. I mean, just the fact that they're saying national security should make you wonder how much, how deep does this really go? Because there's probably things we don't even know about what they're learning with all these videos. Last time I heard, national security is when we snuck onto the little league baseball field. They did say that was national security. That didn't feel like it was national security. Let me ask you a question because I feel like, Ryan, you're going to know the answer better than anybody. I have probably had 10 people say to me recently, are you excited about the new Publix opening? That's that place out there. It's gonna be off citation or whatever, right? What is. Why do people. Why is that exciting? Isn't that just Walmart? We'll say it's a little step above Walmart. So isn't it just like Meijer or Target? Maybe even above those? It's more like Kroger. Yeah, it's a high level Kroger. So it's a grocery store? Yeah. So what makes it just what makes it it. I just know, like they have them all the. Down in Florida. My parents lived in Florida for 10 years. That's where we would always go. So it's a. That's why you like it, Mario. But why are people so excited about it? Short answer, Pub subs. Pub subs. They're deli. You know, most delis, you just get some shaved meats, grocery stuff. They have like an actual sandwich shop and they're pretty amazing. Like, my last two beach vacations, I think we walked to Publix every afternoon and got a sub sandwich. Oh, so you eat there on vacation? Yeah, it's just a great. Like you throw in the cooler, go to the beach. They like think of a subway or say they have basically that in their grocery and they're pretty awesome. So I think that's. Well, I mean, a good version. There's actually gonna be three in Lexington. Wow. So it's like. But people are acting like something amazing's coming and I. Should I be excited? No, I'd rather have subway in a gas station. I just want to say I'm still Kroger loyal. Shout out Kroger. But it is. You don't do a lot of grocery shopping. I mean, they do have some offerings you can't find at a lot of other places. Okay, well. But people are excited about it and I know it's coming close to where you live. Right. I could walk to it for my house. Yeah. Who's up next? Josh. Josh. Go ahead, Josh. Hey, Matt, first time caller. Who are. What's up? I just wanting your all's prediction on how we will finish an sec before tomorrow's game. One and one right now. What do you all think? All right. I'm still sticking with 12 and 6, but if we lose tomorrow, my number is going to start going down. It's going to start being more like 11 and 7 or 10 and 8. I'm going to say 12 and 6, but I'm wavering on my 12 and 6 because I kind of was putting Georgia in the win category. So we're going to have to steal one somewhere else for us to get it back. Shannon, what about you? 11 and 7 feels about right for me. And that's. I mean, there's no shame. I don't think there's any shame in that. You do that. You're still going to get a great seed. 14 out of your 18 games in conference or quad one games. So 11 and seven, I think, would actually not that. Not be that bad. I wanted to pick higher, but when you went through this schedule that day, we're like. I ended up with seven losses. So you're gonna stay with that? I'll probably stay with that. All right, Drew. I think I had six losses. I had them beating Georgia, so I just. Naturally, I'm going seven because they're already behind the eight ball, and I just. I know we. I'd want them to make up a game like you're saying. But what I've seen so far, going and stealing one on the road seems like a big ask. Yeah. Like, just so people. I do it by actual games. I had George as a win, so we're minus one. For me, I had us losing the two road games against Auburn and. And 10. Excuse me, Alabama and Tennessee for sure. Then I had the four in the middle. A and M, Mississippi State, Ole Miss. And road games. Texas. Texas go to Oklahoma or no. Yeah, A and M. No, we play a home. Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Texas and Oklahoma as losses. But I thought if we won one of those, then we could drop a home game and be okay. But for me, I'm minus one right now. I have tomorrow as a loss, so it wouldn't change my overall a whole lot. You know, even if they do lose tomorrow, they can come back and win both of those games next week, and that's you. Well, I think the thing is, if you lose tomorrow now, those two home games become huge. The A and M game becomes crucial. Like the A and M game. You. You can't lose that A and M game. If you lose tomorrow against Mississippi State. Let me give you another one. Is Arkansas gonna make the tournament before I. Before you answer. One in four in quad one games, only one. And, oh, in quad two games. So they've only won one two games against quad one or two. If the tournament was tomorrow, I'm not sure if they'd be in now. They'll get a lot of chances to get good wins, but will they make it? I think they'll sneak in. Maybe One of the last SEC schools to get in. Let me ask you, though, if he doesn't make it, are you gonna feel sorry for him? Since you feel so. No, I'm right. I'm still room for him to lose every game. He just. He looks sad when he goes up there. So you say yes. I'll say they sneak in yes. I'm surprised they're not better than that than they've played so far. I thought they were gonna be a really good team this year. So I'm gonna say there's no way. I think he's going to turn it around all of a sudden. That's what makes that game on February 1st so important. You have to beat him now. So yes or no? No, I think I'm going no. Really. What hurt him is Miami was one of their big non conference games and they stinked. That did nothing for Michigan. Michigan's good. That's what they have. They just don't have non conference resume. And I don't think they're going to have the SEC resume. I'm going to say yes because I think 12 or 13 teams will get in from the SEC and I think they're probably the or 12th or 13th best team. So I think they end up squeaking in. So with you saying that, does that put even more emphasis, even more pressure on Kentucky to win that game when calendar comes through? So there's that. You gotta win. The NBA mock draft came out, by the way. A dude, the Arrow. The es. ESPN just put out a new one. A dude, the arrow. 20th in the draft. First round pick. Boogie flan. First round pick, big Z, second round pick. So they've got three projected first or three projected draft picks. You know how many we have? Zero. Zero. Best day in Arkansas history. Congrats. That's cool. Good for them. Sounds awesome. Well done, well done. Who's up next? Bob and Jamestown. Bob in Jamestown, go ahead. Matt is a former Class 1 FFL owner. I don't want to see anybody get in trouble. Federal government does not recognize cannabis under the Schedule 1 narcotic. So anybody that checks no on the 4473 federal application to purchase a firearm and says no is committing a felony perjury. Okay? You cannot have a medical marijuana card and legally buy a firearm on a federal firearms form. Firearms for. All right, thank you. Thank you. Appreciate it. Who's up next? Donnie. Donnie, go ahead. Donnie. Hey, man. This is the first time I've talked to you guys this year. Well, good. I mean it's only been 10 days, but that's okay. Listen, I got a comment, a fan comment. And then I have a question for you, Matt. This team, from what I see, we don't have no bulldog mentality. We're not hungry, we don't play with a chip on our shoulder. And you got. I, I just don't understand with seniors how, how can you not come out and fight every night Now I don't. Let me, let me take up form for a second. I don't think they don't fight. I think they fight. I don't think there's any game where they're not trying. I think they give 100 effort. I think they're not that athletic. They're good, but there's no superstar. And sometimes they're not tough, which I think is different than fighting. You can try really hard but not be tough. So I don't agree that they don't fight. I think that's not fair. I've not seen any game where I think these dudes have laid down. Okay, that's. That's good. Yeah, I understand where you're coming from. There's a difference. I'll make this comment and then I have the question for you. There's a difference in Biden and fighting. Come on. They. They just don't have it. Now, here's what bothers me. And fighting. Okay, I like how you say that. At first, I thought you said there's a difference between Biden and. I was like, we don't. What does Joe Biden. After this, you're saying biting and fighting. All right, what's the difference? All right, here. Big difference. Here's my. Here's what bothers me. The three games that we have lost. And I love my cats, by the way. The three games that we have lost. I feel. And maybe I'm wrong. I feel that we had the better talent in all three of those losses. And I'll hang up and listen, well, we may have, but we also probably have less talent than the Duke. And Gonzaga wins. Right. So, I mean, I think that's. Again, I don't know that it's gonna be like this forever. But, Drew, when. When Mark Pope was at byu, I know I've said this a hundred times, they would go win at Kansas. They would lose at home to Central Florida. That's just kind of how. That's just kind of how his teams were. Now. I don't know if when we get really talented teams, he'll be like that, but that inconsistency was a part of what it was at byu, and maybe that'll be what it is for this team this year. Yeah, I feel like this season so far, we're really showing how. How hot we run as a fan base. After Duke and Gonzaga, there were people ready to make Mark Pope president, make him governor, statue, every. He could do no wrong. And one bad loss to Georgia, and you're seeing people online like, well, I just. I don't know about this. Hire anymore. I feel like we're just running hot in every direction with these results when it's just so early in the season. A lot of this is what we knew when he built the Rothschild roster. I mean, my biggest thing is, Shannon, we. This is not. And I know people get mad when I say this, but this is not a super talented team. They're just not. There's no superstar, there's no great guy. So we're gonna be inconsistent. I just think that's, that's just part of it. Like you don't have anybody in here on this team who's gonna play in the NBA. So we're gonna be inconsistent. We're just like Ryan Lemon. We're inconsistent. We were a little bit like Ryan. He's not playing the NBA, but he's going to have some big moments. Right. I. I'm still in the boat. I think their best basketball is yet to come. I think they still haven't played their best basketball yet. I think it's coming. I think we've had moments though. Second half of the Gonzaga game. Yeah. Florida game. I think we played pretty amazing. I'll think if you just. Except for rebounding. I think they were pretty awesome in that game.

We obviously play Mississippi State. We'll pick that on the pregame show tomorrow. Auburn South. Auburn is at South Carolina. Auburn. Auburn. Auburn. Vandy is at Missouri. Vandy's 2 and O in the conference. No. They lost their own two in the conference. Another one to one. All right, whatever. Mandy at Missouri. Missouri. Missouri. Missouri at home. I think home teams are hard to beat. Florida at Arkansas could be a must win game for your guy. Cal. They're doing a red and white out. We'll see if it even happens at Bud Walton. Who you got? Arkansas goes oh and three. Florida. Florida. Arkansas lost by 20 to Tennessee. Tennessee lost by 30. Arkansas loses by 50. It's math. All right. Makes sense. This is the kind of game Cal pulls out. Think so. Just when it's like this is the kind of game he wins. Florida's not a really tough team, so they won't get out physical. This, this. This is the kind of game Arkansas wins. I'm gonna take Arkansas. Tennessee coming off their 30 point loss at Texas. What do you got? It'd be a good game. I think Tennessee wins this one. They Tennessee. Yeah. Tennessee. I'm gonna take Tennessee. But it comes down to the buzzer. Oklahoma at Georgia. Does Georgia get two in a row and beat Oklahoma who lost at home to A and M? I'm gonna pick the road team. I'm going Oklahoma. I'm going Georgia. They made a believer out of me. I'll take the dogs. I want them to look good in that game. Make me feel better. No one goes to this game because they only come to our game. And then Oklahoma ends up winning. That's the kind of thing we get. LSU is that Ole Miss. Ole Miss is when it. LSU's the worst team in the conference. Alabama is at A and M. Give me Alabama. All these games are so good. I mean, these teams. Give me the road team again. Alabama. I'm going A and M going to take the home team. I'll go Alabama Go A and E team. The pick a lot of Shane to pick a lot of road teams. We'll see if it. If it ends up happening. Let's go to college football tonight. Ohio State. Ohio State. Ohio State. That's a lot of points at six points favorite, right? Yeah. Texas covers Ohio State wins. All right. NFL Chargers at Texans in the playoffs. The Chargers. Chargers. Chargers. Chargers. Texan stink. Steelers at Ravens. Ravens. Ravens. Ravens win the Super Bowl. Steelers stink. Ravens. Broncos at Bills. Bills. Devin Key and the Broncos pull the upset. Oh, wow. That would be a huge one. You're wearing a Bill shirt. I'm picking. Wearing the Bill shirt. I'm taking the Bills in Buffalo. Packers and Eagles. Does your team win? No, but I'm gonna pick the packers anyway. No, but you're still picking them. Eagles. Packers upset. I think the packers could win. I'm gonna take the Eagles, but I think that's the chance for a big upset. Liam Cohen hosts the Commanders. Commanders. Bucks. Give me the Commanders. Buccaneers are playing great. I like them. I take the bucks. Bucks. We go. Commanders on the road. And finally, the Vikings and Rams. This game got moved to Arizona because of the fire, so might not be a whole lot of people there. Who do you got? Vikings. Vikings are good. Rams. I was going to pick the Rams if the game was in la, but since the games got moved and they don't have a home field, I'm probably going to take the Vikings to win. Who's up next? Mike. Mike. Go ahead, Mike. All right. It's been a while since you talked about this subject, but I want to add something about the driver's licensing. Yes. I think if part of the driver's last. Last license testing, you should demonstrate that you know how to change your oil, put air in your tire, even change your tire. There goes Matt's life. Listen, why? Why? Let me ask you, why do I need to know how to change the oil to drive a car? They got people that do it. No, not, not. Oh, I don't mean change oil. I meant check your oil. Check your oil. It's pretty easy, Matt. I think I know how to do that, so. Okay, I'm all right with that. What else do I have to do? Change a tire? Well, you need to know how if you have to. Or even. It's hard to even. For some people to even find their tire, you know? Yeah. All right, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. I mean, there's 11, you know, we don't. I don't think we need to know all that. What Was the third thing you said? Change a tire, check your oil. What was the third? Put air in your tire. I can do that. I'm good with that. All right. I appreciate the call. I'm all right with all that. I think I, in theory, can change my tire, so. In theory. In theory. What about in reality? Well, that's a different question. I probably. I mean, I'll probably just. Phones, work, YouTube video and watch it while you're doing it. That's true. You always can do YouTube. Unfortunately. Had to do mine a lot. It's not a fun situation. Who's up next? Brian. Brian. What's up, Brian? Hey, good morning. Yes, I was calling. Just a few. Yeah, just a few questions here. First of all, if Publix was out back, it would never work. And second of all, if you. Do you think that the athletic director would have to retire Mitch Barnhart in order for Pitino to be an assistant coach for folks, I'll hang up and listen. Yeah, well, Patina, those were two bizarre questions. Patino's not gonna be an assistant coach. He's gonna be a head coach until he dies. Let me speak it to Mitch Barnhouse. How many years you think he's got left, man? There was a time, maybe five years ago, I thought he was on the short list. About to get out of here. Now I can see him being here for the duration. He's got grandkids that are live here. Now. I can see me. I think he gets through. Nah, I think he gets through this transition period. You think? So he gets through the transition period into this revenue sharing and then he moves on. Like. Like, because he, for people who don't know, he is basically representing the SEC in these discussions about revenue sharing. So I think he's going to get through that and then I think he's going to move on. Don franklinauto.com if you go to Don Franklin. Great.
