Welcome to hour two of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones.
- [01:07]
Drew Franklin
Welcome back. Hour number two, Kentucky Sports Radio, 859-280-2287. The tax machine is 772-774-5254. Tomorrow the UK vanity game is. It's 7:00, right? Ryan is correct. Yeah. So our pregame show will be at 4:30. Only three home games left this year. It's crazy season. It's been an awesome season, right? It feels like it's kind of flown by though, doesn't it?
- [01:34]
Matt Jones
Dude, I can't believe there's three weeks left, six games left and then we're looking to March Madness. It has flown by.
- [01:40]
Drew Franklin
It really has. Text machine is 772-7745-2541. One person writes, Matt, I love you but sometimes you sell us out on the left. See, Shannon, I get criticism from.
- [01:52]
Ryan Lemond
Doesn't matter what you say.
- [01:53]
Drew Franklin
Doesn't matter what you say. Donald Trump should say things. He hasn't even mentioned the floods and yes, he should be there. Well, he shouldn't be there. I disagree with. He'd be in the way. He should say something. But if he hasn't yet, I bet he will. I can't imagine he won't. You know, look, even the worst presidents, when there's a disaster, they'll say so he'll say something I'm gonna take up for him. I bet he says he should, but he definitely should acknowledge it and say something. But I bet he will if he.
- [02:22]
Matt Jones
Doesn'T Governor Andy and he had his governor jacket on.
- [02:28]
Drew Franklin
See, I hate that. I saw that.
- [02:30]
Matt Jones
Yeah.
- [02:31]
Shannon The Dude
Why.
- [02:31]
Drew Franklin
Why do you got. Well, no. Did he have his name on it? Do you have his name on it?
- [02:35]
Matt Jones
I'm sure it's the one that's got his name on it. Yeah. These governors.
- [02:38]
Drew Franklin
Why did he do that? Why? Can't. Let me ask you. Okay, so, you know, I don't like the jacket with the name on it. Somebody wrote me, though, and said, drew, it's okay to have the name on it during a disaster. Do you think you can have the name on it during a disaster?
- [02:53]
Shannon The Dude
Well, I mean, what. What's the difference? I think you either like having your name on your shirt or you don't. I don't think the circumstances change that you're wearing your name.
- [03:02]
Drew Franklin
Okay, so then I'm anti it all the time. We know you're the governor, right? Like, we know you're the, like, people. Michael Jordan wouldn't walk around Shannon with a jacket that said Michael Jordan on it.
- [03:13]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
- [03:13]
Shannon The Dude
Would he?
- [03:13]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah. Well, I mean, I guess it is kind of like his uniform, though, right? It's got his name on it. It looks more official, but it used.
- [03:19]
Drew Franklin
To be like that, you know. We didn't used to do that, did we? Did governors used to, like, did. Did all. Did Paul Patton walk around with the jacket that said Paul Patton on it? Ryan?
- [03:28]
Matt Jones
No. I. I think it's. It seems like Chris Christie started that trend. It seems like this is a new thing.
- [03:33]
Drew Franklin
The. The presidents and the governors and everybody wearing their name on. I don' Happened. I don't.
- [03:39]
Matt Jones
I don't remember who in this state.
- [03:41]
Drew Franklin
At this point, Ryan doesn't know who Andy Bashir is. Anybody. You think anybody doesn't know who he is now?
- [03:48]
Matt Jones
I'd say most people know the name. I don't know if they could. Everybody could recognize him. So maybe that's why he feels like.
- [03:53]
Drew Franklin
Oh, you don't think everybody could. Wait a minute. You don't think everybody could recognize the governor? I'd say, what percentage of the state you think could recognize him by face and say, that's the governor?
- [04:04]
Matt Jones
I'd say it's pretty high. I'd say 80%.
- [04:07]
Drew Franklin
Only 80. You think there's one in five Kentuckians who wouldn't recognize the governor?
- [04:13]
Matt Jones
Sadly, I think that's probably true.
- [04:16]
Drew Franklin
Wow.
- [04:17]
Ryan Lemond
I want to do this. I want to take Andy out on the streets and go, do you know who this is?
- [04:20]
Drew Franklin
It is an interesting question because, like, Trump, the numbers, like, 99% who would know who he is. But the governor isn't on TV as much. But this Governor Drew was on TV every day during COVID Right, Right. So, like, this governor, uniquely, I think, like, I. Like. I don't know if one in five, if four and five people would have recognized Matt Bevin, but this one's been on TV a lot. Do you think it's one in five Kentuckians Drew, you think wouldn't know who he is?
- [04:53]
Shannon The Dude
I mean, if we're talking he doesn't have his name on his jacket and you pass him in Kroger, I think a lot of people would walk right by him and not notice.
- [05:00]
Matt Jones
I think that's.
- [05:01]
Drew Franklin
What if he had on a suit, though, and he looked like a professional. I grant you, if he had a hat on and he looked like a schlub, people might not recognize him. But let's say he's standing in a suit and you see a picture of Andy Beshear in a suit, and somebody said, who is this person? What percentage do you think would say that it's the governor of Kentucky, Andy Beshear?
- [05:22]
Shannon The Dude
I'd say that scenario is closer to 90. But just passing him on the street, I think a lot more people, just different circumstances. You're not trying to guess. It might be like, well, I gotta look familiar.
- [05:31]
Ryan Lemond
See, basically, he's wearing that for the other 10%, so 100 people will recognize them when it says Governor Andy Bashir.
- [05:38]
Drew Franklin
Okay, so, Shannon, that. So you're saying this is for the 1 in 10 people.
- [05:43]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
- [05:43]
Drew Franklin
Who don't recognize him.
- [05:45]
Ryan Lemond
In for the most disconnected, like, part of our state.
- [05:49]
Drew Franklin
All right, that's interesting. So it's for the. It's for the lowest common.
- [05:52]
Ryan Lemond
In case you don't know who I am, it says I'd be interested, like.
- [05:55]
Drew Franklin
Anyone who's listening to this show right now. This is, if you. If you want on the text machines. 772-774-5254. If you're listening right now and you don't know and you can be honest what Andy Beshear looks like, I would be interested in you saying that, because someone who listens to this show clearly knows something about what's going on. Right, Ryan? Cause we talk about what's going on.
- [06:19]
Matt Jones
Yeah, yeah, we mentioned Andy Beshear, but.
- [06:21]
Drew Franklin
If you honestly would think, like, I don't know what he looks like, I would find.
- [06:25]
Ryan Lemond
But think about that, though.
- [06:26]
Drew Franklin
I mean, like, he.
- [06:28]
Ryan Lemond
That's a man of the people. He is catering to the bottom 10% to make sure that they Know who he is. Like, that's, that's taking care of everybody.
- [06:36]
Drew Franklin
Right?
- [06:36]
Ryan Lemond
It's not ignoring the bottom 10.
- [06:37]
Drew Franklin
Okay, so now you're making me feel bad. You're acting like he said, like he's.
- [06:40]
Ryan Lemond
For the little man who doesn't recognize him.
- [06:42]
Shannon The Dude
He's put.
- [06:43]
Drew Franklin
What, what's the thing? He's putting jam on the little man's bread or what was it?
- [06:48]
Ryan Lemond
Nest, wasn't it or.
- [06:49]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, something like that. Well, all right, so I'd be interested to see. I, I think a lot of governors people wouldn't know, but I feel like he was on TV so much. So. Let's go, Drew, for a second to the SEC tournament. We talked about this. Kentucky's now an eight seed. If the SEC tournament started today, Kentucky would play Thursday at 1 o'clock, probably against Mississippi State. That's. That's how the tournament is kind of set up right now. But Mississippi State is only. Is right behind us. And if you look at the schedule, it could flip. At which point then if we were the nine, we'd play at 1 o'clock on Wednesday in literally the first game of the tournament in Nashville. It is interesting. It is. If you look at the bracket, it's almost certain we're going to be playing those 1 o'clock games the entire time, like literally through the finals. What do you make of the SEC draw as it stands now for Kentucky.
- [07:47]
Shannon The Dude
It'S just crazy that Wednesday's in the conversation. I know it's hard to train our brains that the tournament's different and the SEC is different, but we were so spoiled with that noon game on Friday as the 1 seed for many years and even think that you could be playing on Wednesday seems crazy. It also. Everything's so clumped up. I mean, just win a few games, like you're only a game back from Tennessee. I think you're only a game and a half back from Ole Miss, although they'd have a tiebreaker. But then right beneath you, there's a lot of teams right on your back. So I think a lot of it can still shake up with six games left to play. That's why just finishing the job against lsu, Vandy and Oklahoma could keep you out of that Wednesday game if they could do it.
- [08:27]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, it is. It's good. It's crazy to think that. And now if we're an eight, you'd get in the quarterfinals, Ryan, and you'd see Auburn and I watched most of that Auburn, Alabama game. They are good. I mean, they're the Best team in the country, don't you think? Would you put Auburn there?
- [08:43]
Matt Jones
Oh, absolutely. Because they showed it when Alabama cut a nine point lead and tied it. Auburn just put the pedal to the metal, man. They just totally took control of the rest of the game and won out by nine. Going, going away. So yeah, they're the best team.
- [08:56]
Drew Franklin
They are really good. I mean to play at Alabama in a game that hyped with that crowd and to lead from start to finish that one moment, Alabama tied it. Otherwise Auburn led the entire game. They completely dominated that game. And Alabama is really good too. But Auburn, Drew. Can Bruce Pearl that Bruce Pearl win a title? Would that not be insane?
- [09:26]
Shannon The Dude
I think, I think Bruce might be getting his ring this year. And if Kentucky were to play that eight game, beat Mississippi State and then lose to Auburn, that would have. It would stink. As a fan that was excited about the weekend, but I want to remind everyone, Kentucky has lost five of its last six SEC tournament games. So if they beat Mississippi State, I'm popping champagne in Nashville. And then we'll worry about Auburn when we get there. The tournament. Our trips down there have been so bad lately. I want to win one game. If it's on Wednesday, hell yeah, we want a game. And then we'll worry about Auburn. I know that sounds bad as Kentucky basketball and you're lowering the bar, but I just want to win a game in Nashville again.
- [10:04]
Drew Franklin
There are so many people who are writing me, Shannon, thinking I'm way overestimating Kentucky by saying 80 to 90%.
- [10:13]
Ryan Lemond
Oh really? So they think a significant number or less.
- [10:16]
Drew Franklin
They think it's like 60 or 70.
- [10:19]
Matt Jones
So we got to think about, you know, the people that, the foreigners that are living here in Kentucky. I don't know if they would recognize who Andy was.
- [10:25]
Shannon The Dude
Some people just don't pay attention. What was the voter turnout?
- [10:28]
Drew Franklin
That, that, that's a very good point about, about foreigners. There's a lot of immigrants and people who, who maybe don't English. Like they might not know who he is, but like, still though, that's not a huge percentage of the population.
- [10:46]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah. So what's the other people's excuse?
- [10:48]
Shannon The Dude
You don't pay attention.
- [10:49]
Ryan Lemond
Pay attention?
- [10:50]
Matt Jones
Yeah.
- [10:51]
Drew Franklin
You know. Okay, so what if you went on UK's campus, how many of those students would know who he is?
- [10:57]
Ryan Lemond
Oh, they're probably the ones that don't pay attention.
- [10:59]
Drew Franklin
That's what I'm saying. They might not pay attention the most.
- [11:02]
Ryan Lemond
You know, it might be really a low percentage.
- [11:05]
Drew Franklin
That would be. I tell you what, that's what we're going to do. Where's Mario? Is he there?
- [11:09]
Shannon The Dude
He just stepped away, but he's here.
- [11:11]
Drew Franklin
He's going to tell Mario that's his job today. I want him to get a picture of Andy Beshear. Let's do this. I want him to get a picture of Andy Beshear. What? Who else do we want him to do? Mark Pope, Rick Patino. And give me one other person.
- [11:28]
Shannon The Dude
Guy Fury.
- [11:35]
Drew Franklin
See? Hang on. Who would be somebody random.
- [11:37]
Shannon The Dude
Mario's here.
- [11:38]
Drew Franklin
Could Mario. All right, so we'll do. I want to do a picture of Andy, Bashir, Mark Pope, Rick Patino, and then give me somebody that kids would know but that, like, shouldn't be famous. Like, who. Who's somebody?
- [11:50]
Shannon The Dude
Dave Portnoy.
- [11:53]
Drew Franklin
Okay, I like that. All right, so let's do that. He. I want him to get a picture of. Of Pope, Bashir, Patino, and Portnoy, take it to UK's campus. Just blindly show people on video the picture and say, who is this? And let's see who is known the most out of that group. I'm going to say, who do you think wins? Pope wins. Right.
- [12:16]
Ryan Lemond
Win.
- [12:18]
Matt Jones
Because we're on UK's campus.
- [12:20]
Drew Franklin
Okay. Between Bashir, Portnoy, and Patino, who wins?
- [12:27]
Matt Jones
Poor.
- [12:27]
Shannon The Dude
No, I threw him in.
- [12:29]
Drew Franklin
You think so?
- [12:30]
Shannon The Dude
Yes, because I think the results are going to be sad to all of us.
- [12:34]
Matt Jones
And I think.
- [12:34]
Drew Franklin
All right, I'm excited, Shannon. I'm excited to see who wins, don't you?
- [12:39]
Ryan Lemond
Pope's number one, clearly. But out of the other three, I think Patino.
- [12:41]
Drew Franklin
Okay, I'll tell you what. Take Pope out. Take Pope out, because that may be too easy. Bashir, Portnoy, Patino. And then give me one more. Give me some a Kentucky. And that people could or should know what's a basketball player that didn't play that long ago that we love but that younger people might not know? Patrick Patterson. Okay. All right, so I want. That's what I want. I want Portnoy, Patterson, Bashir Patino. Drew, rank them. 1, 2, 3, 4. And by the way, you can't put Patterson in a jersey. He just has to be like a normal guy. Okay, what do you think? Right, Drew, what order?
- [13:23]
Shannon The Dude
Start at the bottom. It's going to break my heart, but I think they're going to struggle with Patrick Patterson, which is going to be last.
- [13:29]
Ryan Lemond
I agree, unfortunately.
- [13:31]
Shannon The Dude
I mean, it's going to hurt to watch, but I think he'll be last.
- [13:34]
Drew Franklin
Okay, how about this? Let's not do Patterson. Let's make it Break your heart even more. Let's do Gilchrist.
- [13:40]
Shannon The Dude
Oh, no. I'll cry if they don't know.
- [13:42]
Drew Franklin
Michael.
- [13:42]
Shannon The Dude
Kid. Gilchrist.
- [13:43]
Drew Franklin
Gilchrist. Take Patterson out. Mario Gilchrist. All right, so now Gilchrist, Port Nori, Bashir, Patina, what's the order? Go ahead, Drew.
- [13:53]
Shannon The Dude
I'm going to do Gilchrist again.
- [13:58]
Drew Franklin
I just.
- [13:59]
Shannon The Dude
I mean, having interviewed some, like, players and they're talking about their best favorite Kentucky player ever is like, Shay. I just worry about people going too far back, even though Gilker shouldn't be that far back.
- [14:10]
Matt Jones
Thirteen years ago. So these students were like, six, seven.
- [14:12]
Drew Franklin
Here we go. We'll see. So you're so in order.
- [14:17]
Shannon The Dude
Gilchrist last, then Bashir, then Patino, then Portnoy. Portnoy at the top, sadly.
- [14:24]
Drew Franklin
Ryan, what's your guess?
- [14:25]
Matt Jones
That's exactly what I was going to say. Portnoy is 1, Patino 2, Andy 3, Gilchrist 4.
- [14:32]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, I'm going to go. I'm going to go. Portnoy, Bashir, Patino, Gilchrist. What about you? Shit.
- [14:40]
Ryan Lemond
I think Patino is higher. I think he's probably, like, next to Bashir. He's probably number two.
- [14:44]
Drew Franklin
So you're. So you're going Bashir, Patino, Portnoy, Gilchrist.
- [14:50]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah, Gilchrist is still last on the list.
- [14:53]
Drew Franklin
Yeah. I cannot believe Gilchrist is last.
- [14:56]
Ryan Lemond
You know, if he gets to wear his jersey like Andy does, then they're gonna know.
- [15:00]
Drew Franklin
Okay, I'll tell you what, I'll even. Let's give Gilchrist advantage. He can wear his jersey, but, Mario, you can't show Kentucky. It can just be him in a jersey. Okay.
- [15:09]
Shannon The Dude
And no reference to, like, year.
- [15:11]
Drew Franklin
Yeah. Just the shoulder straps. That's it. Like his headshot for a thing.
- [15:16]
Shannon The Dude
Yeah. No, Anthony was in the background. Yeah.
- [15:19]
Drew Franklin
Has to be. Just has to be him. He can be in a jersey, but he can't. Don't show Kentucky on it. I'm going to be interested to see what happens. Me, too.
- [15:26]
Matt Jones
I'm very interested.
- [15:27]
Drew Franklin
The Kentucky Chamber is working on important issue. Kentuckians are facing the Kentucky chambers tackling big challenges like child care access, barriers to work and housing affordability. By championing solutions, they're strengthening communities and helping Kentucky families thrive. Their work supports a brighter future where business and communities across the state grow together. If you want to learn more, get involved. Visit kychamber.com today. And Mario, you got to have like, half men and half women, because I think that's part of it, too. If you just do all men, like, you got to have both. Both genders. And let's see what. See what happens. I'm. Look, I'm actually more looking forward to this video.
- [16:04]
Ryan Lemond
I just. I kind of want to keep hope in there just because I want to see the person who doesn't know who Pope is. There might be okay or two who doesn't know who that is. And I want to.
- [16:11]
Drew Franklin
Mario, if there's someone you think would know Pope, I would be interested. If anyone doesn't know Pope. Yeah, there might be. There might be somebody's on UK's campus who doesn't know Pope, but he'd be first, and I think all these other people could go either way. We'll take a break. Be right back. Ksr, welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. My mom says there's no way, Ryan, that 80% of Kentuckians would know Bashir.
- [16:37]
Matt Jones
Yeah, she's. Drew and I were talking about during the break.
- [16:40]
Drew Franklin
I mean, no way.
- [16:41]
Matt Jones
I just told Drew. My son Gavin's 27 years old. He wouldn't know any of those people that we just mentioned. He wouldn't know any of them.
- [16:48]
Drew Franklin
He wouldn't know any of them.
- [16:49]
Matt Jones
Nope, nope.
- [16:51]
Drew Franklin
Picture.
- [16:51]
Matt Jones
He wouldn't. He would.
- [16:52]
Drew Franklin
How many would Josiah know? Who's 17?
- [16:55]
Matt Jones
He would probably know Patino and Portnoy.
- [16:58]
Drew Franklin
Yeah.
- [16:59]
Matt Jones
He wouldn't know Michael Kid Gilchrist.
- [17:01]
Drew Franklin
Would he know Bashir?
- [17:05]
Matt Jones
Does he have his jacket on?
- [17:07]
Drew Franklin
No, he can't have his jacket. If he has jacket, everybody would know it. That's the point. Point is, does he need the jacket?
- [17:14]
Matt Jones
I don't know if he would know who Andy was or not. He. That's, you know, a high school senior.
- [17:19]
Drew Franklin
One person writes, matt, what if Mario put your picture on it? I'd be last of that group. Although I. I worry about my man Gilchrist. Drew. I'm very worried now that the more I think about it, I wonder if, like, that's why when you threw that.
- [17:35]
Matt Jones
Question out there, I almost said John Wall. We all kind of laugh at that. But that was 15 years ago. I don't know how many years.
- [17:41]
Drew Franklin
I think Wall. I think Wall would be. No, Patterson, now that I think about it, wouldn't be known at all.
- [17:47]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah, but you got to remember, like, these college kids were three when he played here.
- [17:51]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, that's what I mean.
- [17:53]
Ryan Lemond
So I don't think they.
- [17:54]
Matt Jones
I don't know if they.
- [17:55]
Drew Franklin
I would be behind. I would be behind Portnoy, Patino, and Bashir, but I might be ahead of Gilker. I'm worried about how Gilchrist is going to do now that I think about it.
- [18:07]
Ryan Lemond
Zero.
- [18:08]
Drew Franklin
You're gonna have to be. You're gonna have to be a basketball fan to know Gilchrist. Right? Like you're gonna have to be like, it's got to be a kid who grew up being a huge UK fan.
- [18:15]
Matt Jones
Yeah, that's it. Just the average and out of state.
- [18:18]
Drew Franklin
Kids, they're out of state kids are going to not going to know who he is. Right.
- [18:21]
Matt Jones
It's true. Out of state kids may not know any of them. But Portnoy.
- [18:26]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, they might not.
- [18:29]
Shannon The Dude
Also Portnoy and Andrew the exact same age and I threw him in because I think it's going to be embarrassing how many people know Portnoy and not the governor.
- [18:39]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, yeah, I think you're right.
- [18:41]
Matt Jones
But yet, you know, I think we went to the mall. It'd be the other way around. They wouldn't know Portnoy, but they would know the governor. You know just where you're going to ask.
- [18:47]
Drew Franklin
No, no. Yeah. If you know, if you went out in the state, Portnoy is last, would you agree? If you just went out like to the average person in the state, then I think Patino gets way up there. Patino is helping more by going out in the state than anything. And Bashir would too. I actually think if you went to the average Kentuckian, I think it might be Patino, Bashir, Gilchrist, Portnoy. Do you agree with that?
- [19:16]
Matt Jones
I think that may be right.
- [19:18]
Shannon The Dude
But the Oakhurst is going to break my heart. It's going to be hard to watch.
- [19:22]
Drew Franklin
It's going to be hard to watch. Who's next?
- [19:24]
Ryan Lemond
Earl.
- [19:25]
Drew Franklin
Earl. Go ahead, Earl.
- [19:28]
E
Hey guys, it's got a few things here if you. If you don't mind. First of all, I think I've got. I think that Travis Perry is truly the answer to this team. Finishing out the year strong and possibly a championship for his team. If. If everything we've seen going into this season, you know, from last year, Travis Perry just kills people. Right. He was hitting 90 of his three pointers.
- [19:54]
Drew Franklin
I don't want. I don't want to be. I love Travis Perry. You really think the key to winning a national championship is Travis Perry, who hasn't scored more than six points in a game this year.
- [20:08]
E
Absolutely. Absolutely. And I'll tell you why. If you watch that game, we didn't lose by much. We were controlling the game until he played horrible. I think Kentucky people have gave him this free pass. Cause he's a Kentucky kid. He played absolutely horrible. But if he just hit some of his wide Open shots. He missed layups. He missed three pointers wide open. He faded away three foot away from the guy. And this is it. When all you need is a foot normally to hit the shot, you're all.
- [20:39]
Drew Franklin
He has to do is hit his shot. Yeah, but that's like saying. I mean, I agree, but that's like saying all you have to do is be perfect and we all can be Michael Jordan. We haven't seen Travis Perry. I love Travis Perry, but what have you seen him do at UK that makes you think he can be a guard that leads you to a national championship right now?
- [21:02]
E
Because the games we have lost have been by very minimal, except for a couple. But when he hits, if he scores 10 points that game, we win easy. Because Texas would have gave up if he was hitting his shots. Plus, it gets in his head. He starts playing horrible on defense. Even if he plays horrible on defense, if he's hitting shots that he just open shots, we win games. He doesn't have to be the best defender. He doesn't have to be Michael Jordan. Just hit your shots. We win this game and this is what he's supposed to do, right?
- [21:32]
Drew Franklin
Well, I appreciate.
- [21:33]
Shannon The Dude
Now I've got you.
- [21:34]
Drew Franklin
I got appreciate call. I got to move forward. Do you agree with that, Drew?
- [21:39]
Shannon The Dude
I love Region 2 and Travis Perry. I have no idea what the point that guy was trying to make. I mean, if anyone on the team made their shots, they'd win, right? Kobe Braya went 0 for 6. If he makes shots, they win.
- [21:48]
Matt Jones
That call hurt my head a little bit.
- [21:50]
Shannon The Dude
I don't know.
- [21:50]
Drew Franklin
I mean, I want to.
- [21:51]
Shannon The Dude
I want to get behind it. I like it. I love Travis Perry. I just don't understand the logic there that he's. Yeah, if. Yeah, if Kentucky hit more shots, of course they'd win. Did I miss something?
- [22:03]
Ryan Lemond
Let's go to Mike.
- [22:04]
Drew Franklin
I was just wanted you to say it instead of me. Mike. Go ahead, Mike.
- [22:09]
F
Hey, guys. How's it going? I just wanted to. I just wanted to point out something. Nobody seems to be. I know everybody hates to talk about it. They want to call you negative and everything like that. And you know, Drew made the point and they make shots, they win. You know, and that is true because it covers up a lot of. A lot of effort problems. I think if you. If you look back at that Tennessee game, they got every defensive rebound on Tennessee miss the last three minutes and they didn't get any against Texas. And that's just zero percent. That's just. That's not acceptable. And I don't I mean, could you imagine Patino's press conference after that?
- [22:46]
Drew Franklin
I mean, I, I think you make a really good point about it. The rebounding is an issue and like, it's been an issue now. There are some games where they've been really good and then they're. You're exactly right. I, I think that's a. I think that's a fair point. I appreciate the call. 859-280-2287. There's quite a series of conversations. I'm now like, I want to have the answers for Mario. Like right now on this, it's Michael K. Gilchrist going to get 20%.
- [23:14]
Shannon The Dude
Oh, no.
- [23:17]
Matt Jones
Maybe 0.01.
- [23:20]
Drew Franklin
Come on, there's gonna be kids. We want a national title with him.
- [23:26]
Matt Jones
Thirteen years ago.
- [23:27]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah. When they were four.
- [23:29]
Drew Franklin
All right, we'll be right back. TJ Smith, personal injury attorney. Call tj. He'll make him pay.
- [23:36]
Ryan Lemond
Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.
- [23:42]
Drew Franklin
Welcome back, Techy Sports Radio. 859-280-2287. People have strong opinions on this picture game. Shannon, I like this.
- [23:49]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah, I can't wait to see the results.
- [23:51]
Drew Franklin
We'll do it at UK and then I actually think it would be interesting to do like just with the general population. Be interesting to maybe do it at a UK game and see what the reaction was. Patino would get almost 100% knowledge in a UK game. But do you think the average fan at a UK game ride with no Gilchrist walking in the door?
- [24:10]
Matt Jones
Depends on the age. You know, the younger, younger fans aren't gonna know.
- [24:14]
Ryan Lemond
Well, the average age is what. So figure this out.
- [24:19]
Drew Franklin
Yeah.
- [24:19]
Matt Jones
Mario and Billy walked in the studio and I asked both of those guys, I said, would you know Michael Kid Goku if you saw him? Billy said, I would only know him because he just did the show with us about a month ago or two months ago. Whenever was he did that whiskey Thief show.
- [24:30]
Shannon The Dude
I'm looking at Mario's photos. They're good photos. Even the Patino photo, like, that's not a basketball. It's just a headshot, just a tie in his face. I think there's going to be a lot of people that miss several of these. Gilchrist especially.
- [24:45]
Drew Franklin
I'm looking forward to it. Nice job. One person writes, matt, did you see the Coach Cow documentary last night? Jim Host takes a shot at you and I wondered your thoughts. I did not see it. Has anybody seen it? Does anybody know what he said?
- [25:00]
Matt Jones
I didn't even know it came out last night. I know. I've not seen it yet.
- [25:04]
Drew Franklin
I didn't see it.
- [25:05]
Shannon The Dude
I don't know if that one's going to make it to my TV at any point.
- [25:07]
Matt Jones
That's Mr. Jim Host, by the way.
- [25:10]
Drew Franklin
Is it still Mr. Jim Host if he's taking shots at me?
- [25:13]
Matt Jones
No, no.
- [25:14]
Shannon The Dude
Ryan, you got defend your side.
- [25:17]
Drew Franklin
Do you want me or Jim Host? You got to decide.
- [25:19]
Matt Jones
I'm taking. I'm taking Matt Jones, but I still refer to him as Mr. Jim Host.
- [25:24]
Drew Franklin
That's Mr. Matt Jones.
- [25:25]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah. Mr. Matt Jones, sir.
- [25:27]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, that's.
- [25:28]
Ryan Lemond
Show me some respect.
- [25:29]
Drew Franklin
I mean, if it's in the cow documentary, it's got to be something like we ran Cal off, which is nonsense. And that. I mean, if that's what he said, it's nonsense. But again, if you make. If you make $9 million a year and you can't take mild criticism from a radio host when you lose in the first round to a 14 and a 15 seed, then this isn't the job for you.
- [25:55]
Matt Jones
Right?
- [25:55]
Drew Franklin
It's just not. If that's. If that's like. And that's. There's no shame in that, but, like, if you can't, then this isn't the job for you. What are you gonna say?
- [26:04]
Matt Jones
Ryan, you were talking about the Cal documentary stuff. So has it come out when he won here at rep? Is that episode.
- [26:11]
Drew Franklin
I don't know. I've seen a lot of clips from the patino one, but I haven't seen any from the cow one. Really good clips.
- [26:18]
Shannon The Dude
The one that just came out is the Kentucky game.
- [26:20]
Matt Jones
Oh, it is.
- [26:22]
Shannon The Dude
That one's not for me.
- [26:23]
Matt Jones
Okay.
- [26:24]
Shannon The Dude
Rather rip off my fingers.
- [26:25]
Drew Franklin
I don't know if anybody sees it. I don't know what Jim Host said. I don't even know Jim Host. I've met him one time and would.
- [26:32]
Ryan Lemond
You recognize him if we showed you a picture?
- [26:34]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, I would recognize. I would recognize him. And. And he. Well, maybe actually twice. Once he was very nice, and then the second time he was very, like, sort of aggressive with me. And I, you know, because he's a legend in this industry, I didn't want to argue with him. So I just was like, hey, good to see you, man, and kept going. But, yeah, I don't really know him, so I. I don't. I don't know, though. DraftKings. Let's do our picks of some games tonight. We're playing on Wednesday, which we've been playing Tuesday most years, but we are Wednesday. So Texas A and M is at Mississippi State. Texas A and M. Drew is seventh in the country right now. Mississippi State's a two and a half point favorite. This will be a battle. Who you got down in Starkville?
- [27:19]
Shannon The Dude
I'm going to lean Mississippi State. But A and M is very good. That's why spreads only two. I watched their, their game against Arkansas. I mean, Wade Taylor in year nine looks good, but I'm going to say Mississippi State gets it done just because they're the home team.
- [27:32]
Drew Franklin
Right.
- [27:33]
Matt Jones
Don't look now, but Texas A and M could flirt with a 1 seed in the NCAA tournament if things go the right way. You know, that's crazy.
- [27:39]
Drew Franklin
If you want, if we, if you want us to get a buy in the SEC tournament, we kind of need to root for A and M tonight. Right? Honestly.
- [27:45]
Ryan Lemond
Right. Because what Mississippi State is.
- [27:47]
Drew Franklin
Mississippi State is ninth is not. We're eight. They're nice. So if we, if you, if you want us to get a buy, we kind of need Buzz Williams to do a waltz down there. Shannon in Startville tonight.
- [27:57]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah, I think, I think A and M wins the game. That's what's going to happen. So we'll see.
- [28:02]
Drew Franklin
I'm going to take A and M. I think they're good this year. You go to DraftKings, use promo code KSR and that 5 get 150 in bonus bets. That's your draft Kings pick of the night. Also, by the way, Kansas is 17 and 8, ranked 23rd. This is a team people thought could win the national championship at byu. By the way, they, they are like slipping, slipping, slipping in. I think they're a six seed in the bracketology now. And if they lose tonight, they're the rest of their schedules really hard. Who's up next?
- [28:32]
Ryan Lemond
LD ld, how are you?
- [28:35]
Drew Franklin
Ld Turn your radio down, LD if you want to talk. All right. Hey. All right. Turn down.
- [28:46]
Ryan Lemond
Let's go to an an.
- [28:48]
Drew Franklin
Go ahead. And you're doing a good job, Shannon. You're doing a good job. Brownie, who's now what's next?
- [28:58]
Ryan Lemond
I'm just, I can't help but they don't talk. Rick.
- [29:01]
Drew Franklin
Rick. Go ahead, Rick.
- [29:03]
G
Hey, guys, I got a couple questions for you and then I'll listen to what your answers are. With what's going on in Auburn this year and Pearl having his team at the top and people thinking they're going to win the national championship. If he does win at Auburn, what do you think the chances of Indiana backing the Brinks truck up and coming and parking?
- [29:28]
Drew Franklin
Why would he leave? Why would he leave, though? Why would he leave? I mean, one of the things that happens when a guy wins a national championship at a school, the rationale to go to another school goes away. If you're Bruce Pearl and you win a national championship at Auburn and you got it rolling at Auburn and the SEC is the best conference, why in the world do you go to the train wreck in Indiana?
- [29:52]
G
Cash. He goes for the cash.
- [29:54]
Drew Franklin
But Auburn will give him the same money. I don't care. I don't care how much. Let me tell you something, sir. I don't care how much Indiana offers him. Auburn will match it.
- [30:06]
G
Yeah, well, I think that he. He may look at it going that the SEC is going to be so strong in the coming years that he could dominate more in the Big Ten, and they're going to give him anything he wants, and then my Auburn will get.
- [30:19]
Drew Franklin
And if Auburn wins a title, they'll give him the same thing. Indiana fans need to process something. All right, let me just. Let. Let me just give Indiana fans a little bit of a reality check, all right? There are a lot of jobs that have come open since yours came open that are better than yours. Look at Kentucky. I think we got the right coach, but, like, we got turned down. Indiana's not a good job anymore. Indiana is not a powerhouse program in the eyes of anybody under the age of 40. So y'all gonna have to go get somebody and hope it works. You hired Mike Woodson last time because nobody else wanted you. Bruce Pearl's at Auburn. I'm gonna give you a little secret. Auburn's is good, if not better job than Indiana is right now. Their environment's better.
- [31:09]
G
I hope he stays at Auburn. That just. I mean, I'm an SEC UK guy, and I, you know, I'm just thinking ahead of what they, you know, because I've been hearing that they want him so bad. But then I'm looking at North Carolina and the dumpster fire over there, and I'm wondering, the kid, the kid that just signed that we went after, if they dump Herbert Davis? If that boy decides to lead, we gotta lead in on him with the kids.
- [31:36]
Drew Franklin
I don't know what happened to Herbert. Yeah, maybe. I mean, I don't know. I appreciate the call. You know, Nils changed all this a lot to where if he's getting the money, he may just decide to stay. But we'll see what happens with Herbert. They've been a huge disappointment as well. Herbert. Volunteers of America. Mid States is part of Volunteers of America. That's VOA founded 125 years ago.

Matt, Ryan, Drew, and Herbert, this is ksr. Why'd you play this song, Shannon?
- [32:45]
Ryan Lemond
It's just a song talking about where everybody knows your name.
- [32:48]
Drew Franklin
Oh, for the picture.
- [32:49]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
- [32:50]
Drew Franklin
Sorry, it took me a minute. All right. Central Kentucky, if you're looking for new furniture, appliances are bad. Check Pratts, a locally owned and operated appliance furniture and Mattress Company. 75 years in the Lexington community. That's crazy. 75 years. They've won the best appliance retailer in the bluegrass for the last six years. They're here to help. They got one in Lexington, one in Richmond. Amazing prices, top notch service. P Rats refrigerators for your kitchen. Deep freezers for the garage. Comfy mattress. P Rat's the best place for all your furniture and appliance needs. And remember, nobody, and I mean nobody, beats P Rats. I've been hearing P Rats commercials, Ryan, since I was a little kid.
- [33:28]
Matt Jones
Yep.
- [33:28]
Drew Franklin
And now I'm doing P Rats commercials as an adult.
- [33:32]
Matt Jones
Comes full circle.
- [33:33]
Drew Franklin
Comes full circle. All right, let's talk about a couple things this weekend. Did you watch the hockey game? Hockey game, Ryan, where they fought three times in nine seconds.
- [33:42]
Matt Jones
I didn't see it live, and then I saw everybody posted about it, so I immediately tried to find the. The video just to watch the highlights. Yeah, they.
- [33:48]
Drew Franklin
They weren't messing around three times in nine seconds. So they. It was the United States and Canada. Shannon. They're going to play tomorrow night for the gold medal in whatever this thing they're playing is. The four nations, we hate you shootout. Are you going to watch it to see if they fight more?
- [34:03]
Ryan Lemond
I might. Now, I like, by the way, how, you know, all three of these fights could have happened at once, but they let, like, each person have their own round. You know, like, let. Like, this time, we're going to focus on you two, and then after they're done, we bring in two more. So I kind of like the way they do it, you know, two of.
- [34:17]
Drew Franklin
The American guys were brothers. The Kachuk. So one could chuck fought, and then they waited one more second and then drew the other Kachuk fault. They were like, could chuck. Let's keep chucking.
- [34:28]
Shannon The Dude
They did not give any Kachuk. Mark Pope said last night that he used the. He showed the team in the locker room the first 30 seconds to show them kind of how to fight. Now Wednesday, tomorrow night, they come out and just start punching people on Vandy. They might have overreacted a little bit, used it as motivated.
- [34:44]
Ryan Lemond
Oh, no, no, you don't want to do that. You're already down. Your roster is only down to seven people now.
- [34:49]
Drew Franklin
Bring Darby, Shire and Horn in, let them fight, and then they can get kicked out and it'll be.
- [34:54]
Ryan Lemond
They're not winning a fight against anybody. Who are they beating?
- [34:57]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, they're probably not. They're probably not. I'm sure I'm trying. NBA All Star Weekend was widely panned and we could. You know, I had to talk about it on ESPN so much that I don't really care, but Mac McClung, Ryan did jump over a car. And I do. I. I will say this. Everybody likes to mock NBA All Star Weekend, and that's fine. But Matt McClung dunking is amazing. He jumped over a car. He did a dunk where he took the ball, touched the rim, and then dunked. He had a one where a guy held up two balls and he dunked them both. Like. Like that dude's amazing, isn't he?
- [35:32]
Matt Jones
Dude? It was his third year in a row he's won it. He's been the only thing besides Tyler hero winning the three point. Cause Max McClung is the only thing that even interests me even a little bit in the NBA All Star Weekend.
- [35:42]
Drew Franklin
Drew, did you like McClung? And I like the kid that made $100,000. I don't know what the game was exactly and ended up jumping in a tub of money. I did like that.
- [35:52]
Shannon The Dude
Yeah, Mr. Beast throwing some more money around. McClung's awesome. And whatever the All Star game makes, he deserves half of the cut because that's what everyone watched. Also, love our connection. We've been to Gate City, Virginia, home. We ate some ostrich there. Yeah, I mean, he's the whole show. It was cool that Tyler. Tyler Hero won, but the main takeaway is Mac McClung was the only real entertaining part of the whole weekend.
- [36:14]
Drew Franklin
Now I watched the SNL50 thing. Shannon. I have to say, I thought it was awesome. Let's start with the music. Concert. I don't know how much of it you saw, but, like, how in the world did they get all these people to perform? I mean, they had everybody. It was like, put Paul McCartney, Paul Simon. They had all these people. And then Post Malone, played with. With Nirvana, played Smells Like Teen Spirit. I posted the video. It still is going crazy viral. It's now the second biggest video I've ever posted. Everybody fighting about whether or not he's good or not. I. I actually thought it was kind of awesome. And I don't even like Post Malone, but what did you think?
- [36:51]
Ryan Lemond
Yeah, I mean, that's. That's a tough song to sing to begin with when you're trying to sound like Kurt Cobain. So I think that he did a pretty good job of it. And I like that, you know, you finally got to see Nirvana back together again.
- [37:01]
Drew Franklin
When did the guy. That's not Dave Grohl or Pat Smear. What's the other guy's name?
- [37:08]
Ryan Lemond
Chris Novoselic. The bass player.
- [37:10]
Drew Franklin
When did he start looking like Dr. Phil?
- [37:13]
Ryan Lemond
He does look like. It doesn't. He's got the. He looks exactly like a little mustache he's got.
- [37:19]
Drew Franklin
When did he become Dr. Phil? Like, I guess he always wears a hat. I don't think I'd ever noticed before. Yeah, but I like. Yeah, he was. I liked him. And then the actual Drew, the actual show, it was three and a half hours, and I actually thought it was really good. Considering what they were trying to do and mixing in all the generations, I found it extremely entertaining. Adam Sandler's song where he mentions Chris Farley and Norm, kind of brought a tear to my eye. I thought the Black Jeopardy skit was good. Meryl Streep played a role I didn't think she was going to play. I actually thought it was really good. Did you?
- [37:56]
Shannon The Dude
Yeah. You listed my favorites. You know, I've been down on SNL for a while, although it's been pretty good lately. But I thought they did a great job with the anniversary. The Weekend Update was really good. My favorite of all the skits, though, was probably Eddie Murphy doing Tracy Morgan. While that was great, even, you know, we love when they break character. Tracy Morgan was trying not to laugh at him, and he just kept going on and on. And also, like you, Sandler, even though I knew it was coming, him doing Norm and Farley kind of in the same, you know, right there at the same time, that one got me pretty good. Those are two. My two favorites that would be on snl.
- [38:29]
Drew Franklin
I thought, boy, Bobby Moynihan is drunk uncle also was really good. I missed that. That's one of the better characters they've ever had, so. Also, I didn't realize how snl.
- [38:39]
Shannon The Dude
I didn't realize how much I miss Molly Shannon. Just having her back bouncing off the walls was hilarious, too. She was really good. All of it was great. Going back in time.
- [38:47]
Drew Franklin
What about Will Ferrell and that woman Shannon singing? Not like us. Like Anna Gastar is the middle schoolers.
- [38:53]
Shannon The Dude
Did you see that? Middle School?
- [38:55]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, dude. I thought that was great. And then White Lotus debuted last night. Has anybody watched it yet? Any of you? I watched it, and I haven't watched it yet. Is it good?
- [39:04]
Matt Jones
Well, the first episode, just kind of character development. You're getting to know all the characters, so I'm sure it'll take off.
- [39:09]
Drew Franklin
I hear they Talk about Duke vs. North Carolina. Is that right? Like, is that part of the show?
- [39:15]
Matt Jones
If. Oh, yeah, that's right. The one family.
- [39:18]
Drew Franklin
Did you watch the episode or not? I can't remember.
- [39:21]
Matt Jones
I watched it. There's a. A family one. Like, the husband graduated from Duke and the wife graduated from North Carolina. That's what it is.
- [39:27]
Drew Franklin
Okay, well, it seems like you paid close attention. Who's up next? Shannon?
- [39:30]
Ryan Lemond
Wilkie.
- [39:31]
Drew Franklin
Wilkie. Go ahead, Wilkie.
- [39:34]
H
Hey, Matt, two things. One's a quick question and one's a comment. The first one, do you have any idea why we don't know what time the Auburn game is? And then the second thing that I wanted to call about this a couple weeks ago after Shepard wore the Arkansas shirt, but I never got around to it. And the NKG thing fits right into it. And basically, I like to compare those two, because Michael Kid Gilchrist, he went higher in the draft. He won a title here not even 15 years ago, and boom, case in point, people won't even recognize a picture of him. Here is Reed shepherd in comparison, who played here one year, lost in the first round. All he did was score some points, and then he. You know, the only reason we're going to remember him is because of his last name.
- [40:19]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, from Kentucky. Like, yeah, but I mean, that's natural. It's from Kentucky. I mean, like, he's from here. His parents went here. You know, he's from the mountains. Like, that's. That's. Those are the reasons.
- [40:30]
H
That's my point.
- [40:31]
Drew Franklin
And he's a great player. I mean, he was a great player.
- [40:33]
H
Too, but he's taking advantage of our love for that by wearing the shirt, not apologizing, none of that stuff. I just think it's, it's crazy to me that, you know, people would still love him forever when he could do something like that.
- [40:45]
Drew Franklin
You're sorry come back. Yeah. Let's be real though. Yeah, he's 19 years old and I appreciate the call. 19, 20, something like that. People make mistakes. I think you got to give him a break. I think that was a mistake and I think the criticism he took was valid. But he's also 19, 20 years old and if I was judged on a national stage of everything I did at 19 or 20, it might not always look great. So I, I think he deserved criticism. I also think like it shouldn't last forever. As far as the game times, they decided this year to basically flex the last three games of the year so they could put the best matchups at the best TV times. Ryan, I think it's a smart idea now that ESPN owns all of the SEC games. They decided to do that. In years past they couldn't because CBS had some of the games. But now they're going to pick the best times going in those last few.
- [41:41]
Matt Jones
Games and that's going to be a huge game. Kentucky and Auburn at Rupp Arena. Probably game day is going to be there so they'll get a good time slot. Don't worry.
- [41:48]
Drew Franklin
I'd say It'll be like 6:00. It'll be 6 or 8, like 4.
- [41:53]
Shannon The Dude
It's either 1 or 4 is how it's listed.
- [41:56]
