This edition sponsored by the TJ Smith Law Office Call TJ will make them pay. I wish Shannon, we had the cameras on and the mics on during the last few minutes. Well, I wish we did have the mics on because I'd be hitting that red button a lot. Yeah, that's right. There were a lot of curse words coming out so we couldn't have done that. You know, Ryan, Myron is one of my, has become one of my really good friends. But sometimes Sunday morning he wakes up grumpy. Does he? Yeah, he does for the ESPN show. And sometimes I'm grumpy but like he's, sometimes he's grumpy more. And the way we do that show is our producer has a rundown of topics. It's not like this show where we can just ad lib. They make you know what you're going to talk about. Sure. Now sometimes I'll deviate, but they have a thing so he'll give it to us the night before. In theory, Drew, we're supposed to look at it the night before when Kentucky's playing on Saturday. I ain't looking at it till Sunday morning. I don't think Myron ever looks at it. So then we get there. We're supposed to get on at 9:30 for a 10:00 show. I'll work with the producer. We'll change some stuff. But sometimes Myron will log on at like 9:53 and then be like, let's do this and Say that. And I'm like, it's too late. Yeah, you could have done that at 9:30. And we'll argue right up until the thing starts. And then we're like, hey, Sunday morning, Matt Murray. Like you have no idea of what's just happened. So in here, just a minute ago, we had quite a conversation with Billy and Ryan. I think you and Drew were on my side, right? Yes, it was all of us against Billy. So here was the conversation and I'd like to hear what the general public thinks about this. This is probably a generational thing. I think it definitely is. He was talking about the plane crash in Toronto when the plane was flipped over. Right. And he said, how did we get on it? He was like, somebody was mad at the guy for using the film for. So you. Everybody's seen the video of the people trying to escape and the guy's holding up his phone. Right, right. And did Billy say one of the people got mad at him? Is that right? I can't remember how we got there, how we got. They discussed it in the pre show and I think somebody maybe have texted Billy or something. That was like ten bad words ago. Okay, I've already forgotten. But anyway, he was like, I don't understand why people would get upset. If I'm in a plane crash, I'm filming everything. And I went, you wouldn't film me. I was like, if I'm in a plane crash and I'm distraught, I'm not let you. You can't film somebody's face. Like film yourself if you want. But this dude, the video, he's like looking around and filming everybody in the plane. People upside down. People are upside down. People are trying to get off the plane and dude is standing there filming. And I was like, I'd be livid at you if you were filming me in a moment of distress. And he was like, I'm filming. This is, this is a big thing. I'm like, yeah, so get off the plane so we can not explode. But he was like, no, you have to. You film when this happens. And I was like, there's the generational divide right there. There's the generational divide. Something happens. Older people are like, get me off this plane and let me have my privacy in a moment of distraughtness. And younger people are like, woo hoo, views coming, right? Yeah. I mean, of my friend group, I'm the one that's out taking pictures and videos we don't really need. I'm like the dad of the group. But if a plane's upside down. I don't care where my phone is. Get off this plane as fast as you can. You don't like. It's like, you got to get off the plane. Take my phone. I don't need it. There are people who have literally walked off a cliff to their death just to get some views on social media because they weren't paying attention. They were on their phone the entire time. But think about it. Let's just put yourself in your shoes. Okay. You're sitting there. Well, first of all, when the plane is strapped, it's upside down. How are you getting down? Presumably, you have a seatbelt on. Are you just falling on your head? Unbuckle and he's down. Yeah, you got to unbuckle and then try to brace yourself for a little bit of a fall there for sure. Grabbing onto something with one hand and unbuckling with the other and hoping that you can somehow. And hoping you can flip over. Okay. But would you agree you're in a sense of vulnerability at that moment. Your most ever sensible. Still don't know if the plane's going to explode, right? Yeah. Yeah. They're hosing that thing down outside to keep it from getting worse. So I'm sitting there. I'm hanging from the. From the ceiling. I'm trying to get down. Also trying to get off as quickly as possible because I don't know what's going to happen. Presumably, I'm in trauma because I thought I was going to die. Right. You would think that when this happens. Sure. And Billy R. Sports pulls his cell phone out and starts filming it. Like, I'm not gonna handle that. Well, are you? No, I'm telling you. Listen, dude, put your flipping phone down and help me get down. He's getting close, Shannon. You're worried about him cussing. He's getting worked up. Yeah. Get me down. Help me get down. Put the phone down and get me out of here. But he was like, I'm gonna keep it on. And then he got into like, Billy hasn't done this in a while. When he gets like, billy confidence. Billy confidence. The same thing that the first time I was on here was like, of course Jennifer Lawrence would date me. He had a little bit of that. I was like, well, I would punch you in the face. And he would be like, no, you wouldn't. And I was like, I'm not gonna. I mean, but somebody would. And he was like, I don't care. Let him. I'd fight him. And I'm like, all right, I've Been in fights. I've been in fights. I was like, you are little. And he was like, I'm scrappy. And like, he. But he wasn't kidding. He was like, billy was now ready to fight the people on this, you know, presumed plane somewhere. Like, I couldn't believe it. But it goes to show there's a certain generation that kind of feels like they have to take a picture of everything to document every moment of their lives. I don't even have a good arm. But there's no limit to how far that phone would go after I threw it. Once I stepped out of the plane, I mean, it would still be sliding down the Runway, waiting to get out. And he's standing at the door. Yeah. You know, the, The. The stewardesses are all yelling at people, leave your stuff. Get out. Leave your stuff. Get out. And you got somebody standing there with his phone recording everything. Now, with that said, I watch the video. Right. Because that's what you. And there's this part of the dichotomy, as we all agree dudes shouldn't be filming at the same time. We all want to see the film. It's something we all were attracted to. So, I mean, it's. That's, you know, take up for Billy. That's the mindset of everybody wants to see. And I'm sure that guy ended up on television because he had the film. I mean, I. The incentives are bad, but I just. And I told him, apparently that video is like three minutes long because the dude filmed the entire plane. And then like CNN and these places were like, like blurred everybody's face out and only showed you the part that didn't have anybody's face in it. But he filmed everybody. And I'd be like, what are you doing in that moment? Don't you think that's rude? Yeah. Also, please get off the plane. We don't know that we're still safe. Like, again, I'm throwing it. As far as I can imagine, you run to the plane, gotten off the plane, it explodes. Because he was there filming it. And you know, some of these folks probably, like you said, they're so vulnerable, upset, emotional. You don't want everybody to see you in your worst emotional state. Totally agree. Which gets me now also in terms, since we're doing the generation thing to Mario going on campus his yesterday. Yeah, I'm going to. So that video is. Is really, really good. It's really good. It's really good. He talked to a bunch of. Of UK students. He added Mark Pope. Yes. So he Had Pope, which I was. Which ended up, I think, being a good decision. Mark Pope, Rick Patino, Andy Bashir, Dave Portnoy, and Michael K. Gil. Correct. Now, the. My only minor criticism is that was a. Wasn't the best Michael Kidd Gilchrist photo, but it also wasn't a great Andy Beshear photo either. So, like you, you know, But Michael Kid Gilchrist, when I think of him, I think of him smiling, and he wasn't smiling. I'm not sure what it mattered with that crew, though. I don't either. Spencer Dinwiddie. Spencer Dinwiddie. So he. He interviews them all. The final order looked to be Pope was known the most, although one person called him Tom Pope. Tom Pope. Oh, that's Pope. Tom Pope. Tom Pope. By the way, you could see all this on the KSR social media pages. Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, etc. Rick Patino was second. Little surprised at that. Yeah. It looked like all the guys that he did. All new Patino. Yeah. And it seemed Patino was second. Yeah. Then what? Portnoy was third. Or was Bashir third? They were close. Portnoy was third. It was interesting. All the white dudes knew Portnoy, whereas all the women and black nudes knew Bashir, but didn't know Portnoy. Yeah. So there's your divide, right? Like, there's your. All the frat bros know Portnoy. What are the black dudes called? Andy. Brother Andy. That's my favorite part. Oh, that's Brother Andy. Brother Andy. But then the shocker is that not one person could name my. Not one person. Zero. Zero. I texted Mario last night, said, great video. I. I'm heartbroken for Michael Kid Gilchrist. We should have done someone else. We shouldn't have done it to him. I mean, nobody. But that's my point. Okay, so it hurt to watch. First of all, when I think of old school UK fans. All right, so I'm just gonna use. Because everybody lives their life through their centerpiece of what they think is normal. Right. I think old school fans immediately tell me someone from the RUP era. They'll be like, matt, I've been watching since Cotton Fluid Damper Daddy is. And that's like. Okay, that's an old fan. Yeah. Right, Right. And then there's like, the kind of older fans that'll start with, like, Joby hall players. Yeah. Kevin Grave Jack. Even Kyle Macy, you know? Yes. Then there's like, the. Just a little older than me. And then they'll be like, Rex Chapman and the Best player that ever walked the street to Kentucky, Jamal Mashburn. Right, that would be those. Yeah. Then like my generation we like are like oh, when I was a little kid Mash and then you go Antoine Walker and Derek Henderson, Scott Padgett, etc and then there'll be a Prince Bogan's generation. And then it's like the cow generation. The fact that there are kids on the college campus now who for them, Michael Kidd. Gilchrist is too old to know. Wow, that's a. That is like an eye opening. Wow. Right? Makes me feel old. We realize that was 13 years ago and these kids that are in college now were kindergarten and have no idea who the 2012 guy. I mean from 2010 when Cal got here to let's say 2017, Michael kid Gilchrist. If you're talking about when they were here, who was the most popular? John Wall is probably first. Then maybe Tyler Eulis. But Michael Kid Gilchrist in the top five. People loved Michael Kid Gilbert. Yes, they did. Yeah. One of them. Can you believe it? I actually did the math on what it would have been like for me walking UK's campus and if someone stopped me, maybe I paid a closer attention than the random people Mario grabbed. But it would have been like the 94, 95 team. I think I would have been able to name the whole roster. Me too. It's the equivalent of when I was in college of somebody showing me a picture of Rex. Of course I would know who Rex Chapman is. Easy. You tell me. I'm not going to know who Rex Chapman is. Show me Jamel Martinez, any of them. I was very surprised because clearly Mario talked to some people that were basketball fans. Yes. I mean the guy who mentioned Spencer Dinwiddie knows enough basketball to me mentioned Spencer Dinwiddie and he can't know Michael Kid Gilgames. I couldn't believe it. Well, even when Mario would reveal who it was, they were like a couple of them are like, I still don't know who that is. Look like they had a title. Yeah, Shannon, he won a title. It's crazy. I'm looking at the roster from like when I would be five years old. Rex Chapman's on that team. I would recognize Rex Chapman. Would you recognize Ed Daventer? I would have as a kid prob. Probably Winston Bennett. I would have recognized Winston Bennett. I don't know if I know exactly what he looks like. Sean Sutton was on that roster. But Michael Kid Gilchrist is not Anthony Davis, but Anthony, but like he was the second pick in the draft he's one of the highest picks in the history of this school. Coming in before that season, he was the number one recruit. It was not Anthony Davis. It was Michael. Kidding. Yeah, I am. I was shocked by Great video by Mario. And it's. And to the girl who said tom Pope, I mean, first of all, that was two of them working together. Yes. They showed a picture and they both just sort of laughed. And then one of them goes, he's the basketball coach, right? Mario's like, yeah. And then she goes, pope. And he's like, yeah. And then she goes, tom, just stop with Pope. No reason to throw Tom in there. The best part of the whole video, and I said this to Abby, we were watching it, is Mario's so nice when they're wrong. He's like, ooh, that's not. Spencer did Witty. Oh, Tom, we have to do this again. And I'm doing it because I'm making fun of him. You're so nice. But if somebody looked at me and said, tom Pope, I'd have to be like, all right, come on now, Tom. You'd be a good game show host. You made them feel good even though their guests were terrible. You made him feel good. You're, you're, you're. You were very nice. 859-280-2287.

This is you know Tom Petty top three artists for me it's like Johnny Cash, Tyler Childers and Tom Petty of Tom Petty songs. It's a top three song for me. Shannon the Waiting, Learning to Fly and then I have to think about what the third one is but. But this one, this is a great song. It's a great song to play like when you're going through a change like in your life, right? Like whatever your next step is. I remember playing this on my way from law school to take the clerkship on the DC circuit. Really which I was so nervous about because that was going to be like the hardest job and I ended up really disliking my judge but like I'm like I'm going to like with the smartest people in the country and I remember playing this on the drive from from Durham to D.C. going like all Right, here we go. You know, I'm learning to fly and I'm not as smart as these people, so here we go. Like, you gotta have the windows down when you're listening to this too. Yeah, it's just a. Windows down. It's a great time. I've played this a bunch at various times in my life. Tom Petty is just the best. Can I read you something? Support of Billy? All right, well, I'm read. You read that and I'm going to read you something not in support of Billy. Billy is a journalist. Wars. So, first of all, no, he's not. Journalist. No, he's not. Here's. Let's stop that. You can't just throw that word around. Billy is not a journalist. All right, go ahead. Wars and tragedies need to be documented, even when it's hard to do. That's how we learn from them and hopefully don't repeat the mistakes. War. First of all, Billy's not a journalist. Billy is a person on a plane, not a pilot either. What do you mean? Repeat the same mistake? Billy's going to make it to where he doesn't flip next time. No, okay, I. There's something to that argument. Except when you're in the emergency of getting out. Yeah, okay. If he's out and then films it. I still think it's rude. I do. I've often wondered, when you watch war documentaries, is there ever a part of you that's like, I'm sitting here looking at somebody that may have just like, blown up? Absolutely. All the time. Now the difference, though is in a war, a soldier has. Is a part of history at that moment. These are unwilling parts. When you're a soldier, you get into war, you either volunteer or maybe you were drafted. These people didn't ask to be on a plane crash. They didn't ask to be part of the news. Yeah, right. I mean, let's put it like this. Let's take the flooding. You see somebody drowning, let's say you can't save it. Are you filming them? No, absolutely no. No. How's this different at the time? It's not different. Well, nobody's actively dying. But you don't know. It could be. You don't know. Well, then, I mean, the thing could still fly. This thing could still blow up. Somebody could have a heart attack hanging there. Anything in that case, you should never film because anything could happen in that moment. But I mean, you're in a. You're in an extreme sit situation. It's not like you're just like, so, you know. Now here's a different one. All right, Matt. I've worked for Delta for six years as a flight attendant before moving to operations. Billy is a moron. The goal is to evacuate the plane as quickly as you said. Getting your phone out and filming shows a complete lack of care for others and will slow the evacuation. Billy's opinion is representative of greater societal entitlement than people have. Shame on Billy. Shame, shame, shame. So what is the age where we think that way and don't think like Billy? I think it's people who had phones from the moment they. I had this conversation with a friend of mine the other night and his wife. My age is the worst because we grew up without it, then got put into a world where it has to be part of our lives, but we didn't grow up with it. So it's still uncomfortable, but it's like, has to be part of our lives. My parents are not on their phones at all, really. Right. Right. They live a world without it, but now there's a generation that it is their world. And I actually think that's sad. But regardless, that's what it is. And I think for those people, the idea of not filming every moment of your life seems completely foreign. Yeah. And Billy's at the oldest of that generation. Would you agree? Yeah. And I don't have a problem with. You're out, you're 100 yards away, and you're filming the plane as they're hosing it down and you've made it. But in that moment, like the person that chimed in from Delta, we're trying to get people off as fast as possible. I mean, there's a truck outside hosing down that plane, hoping it doesn't get any worse. We don't need you on your phone. Yeah. And if Billy wants to fight, I would tell him. Knuckle up another one. I've listened to the pre show every day. I like Billy and Shannon. Billy could not fight my grandmother. If he wants to fight, set it up. I'll be glad to fight him for charity. I'm not letting Billy fight anyone because he will lose. He never raised Ryan Timmons. He could fight this grandmother. Let's set it up. Another person writes, Matt, it broke my heart that you did. No one know who MKG was. Would they know other UK players? All right, let's. Let's try this. I think that generation who would college kids know by face at UK right now. John Wall. Yes, I'm. The percentage is down. I mean, he's Big on Tick tock. That, that little Intro from Kentucky 64 jaw with him doing the tick. Like, like, I. I think people who don't even know John Wall know that intro. It's on line all the time. He's got a little bit of cult hero to him. If you sports fans too, though, you got to keep in mind not everybody on campus is a sports fan. That's true. But John Wall is a little more. And I'm telling you, there would be people who don't know anything about sports who know that line because it's like, it's a thing when like people are going out to a bar and they're dressed up like, either in a suit or like a woman's in a dress and they think they look good. They play the intro of 6:4 from Kentucky John Walt. Like that's. Yeah. You play the video. They may. You just show a headshot of him. So you don't think many would know. That was 15 years ago. These kids were five. Fair enough. If you don't think so. Demarcus cousins. No. No. God, this game's making me so sad. But would you say no? I would say no. They don't know Michael K. Gilchrist. How are they going to know Demarcus with you? Nope. They will know Anthony Davis because he's still good. Still playing. Still no Anthony Davis. Harrison twins. So let's say you showed us one of them. Not a word. Harrison. No, not a chance. Maryland's Noel. Noel. But with the big box. No. No. Nope. Willie Collie Stein. No. Maybe because he was just here in the tbt. But if not the tbt. No. Carl, they know he's still very. Would they know Tyler? You told Mario last night. We were texting and we both said we should have done Tyler Eulis and get it instead of go Chris. He's a little more recent. And you think they would know Tyler, you. I don't know. I think a lot would not. I think more would know than Michael Kidd Gilchrist. Especially if you show him in his playing days when he had the short cut. Now he's got the dreads. Oh, he played with the dreads. No way. In an Arkansas shirt. Yeah. No one's going to know it. No. We used to be a proper big blue nation. It is amazing. And it also shows you that like, you know, for these kids, UK basketball is Oscar Sheepway. Yeah. And Rob Dillingham and Reed Shepherd. Amen. What a. What a sad existence as a fan, but not a lot of winning in that area. It Is amazing. All right, we will talk UK Vandy, take your calls right after this. TJ Smith, personal injury attorney. Call tj. He'll make him pay. Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones. Welcome back Tiki Sports Radio. Kentucky is a 5 1/2 point favorite tonight at against Vandy. Little small, but considering the roster, probably about right. But it's not a huge number, Ryan. No, it's not. I think they do taking into account that they don't have Butler and Robinson. They are officially out, by the way. Yeah, they're not playing. I'll be honest, I was not going to touch this game and then I saw that number. My. I can only. My reaction is what it was. I thought that's very low. I thought that was a low number. I thought it was gonna be eight or nine. Yeah, if we win, I think it'll be more than about five and a half. I mean, I think the roster though. I mean the team. But we beat Tennessee. But we beat Tennessee with that roster. With that roster though. Well, we. But it was there and that's a different. You know, I mean there's a huge difference between home and away. Oh, I agree with that. I just told you. Especially. Especially at Vandy. Yeah. Where Vandy, if you just look at their record this year has been a completely different team at home and away. Which is why, by the way, you gotta win like Vandy's not. Have they won a game on the road yet, Shannon? Yeah, yeah. I mean they were up by 16 and Knoxville blew the lost. And that's what I told you. But I mean have they won any SEC road games yet? Yeah, I think one. One. So like. But so you can't lose this game tonight, Ryan. That's the key. I don't even care. Lsu, so I don't even care if you win one game. What about one point? You have to win. You. You had him beat at Vanderbilt where they're up what, seven and then just collapsed down the stretch. What we just did against Texas, collapsed down the street. And I don't think Butler played at Vandy, did he? We had someone was out. That's where he got hurt. Okay. We had someone out during that game. That was one of the first. That was early in sec. That's when Carr was first out. Carr was one of the first games. Shannon's right. Carr was out. Butler got hurt during the game. I think that's right. So, you know, gotta win. That's all I can say about the game is you Gotta win. I mean, you got six games left and you got three at home. We gotta win. You got LSU and Vandy at home. You gotta win those two. Two games. Yep. You have to. You're going to lose Alabama, you're probably going to lose Auburn in a perfect world. Beat lsu, beat Vandy, steal one of the ad. Oklahoma at Missouri. That's where I am. Is that where you are? Yeah, I think it's going to be three and three when you know, tonight LSU and at Oklahoma. Oklahoma's falling apart. Like we need to get that one. Yep. And I'll add the Alabama, Auburn, Missouri. I know going three and three will stink. That will not hurt the tournament seating. It will not. Really. You lost those three games. You really are in a. Just win what you got. Lose Mississippi State one last night. So we're so even more reason we got to win tonight if we don't want to have to play on Wednesday. Yeah, we hold the tiebreaker with them. But. But if we, if we lose tonight, we don't. That's right. So yeah, they jump you, Andy. Go ahead, Andy. Hey, guys. I know when we started with Mark Pope, he talked about to start prioritizing the SEC tournament and that sounded great and it still sounds great. Now that we're in a situation where we got three guys hurt and we may be playing on Wednesday. How do you navigate that and can you prioritize both and I think easier path than the SEC tournament and I'll get off here. It's a great question. I think that's a very fair question. First of all, I think the Final Four is on. If you were to say what's going to be easier, go to the Final Four or when the SEC tournament. The answer is go to the four. Yeah. Yes. Easily. Easily. Let's just look at our path to go to the Final Four. In the last bracketology I saw beat Chattanooga, Illinois, Purdue and Florida. Now let's look at our SEC tournament path. Beat Mississippi State, Auburn, Florida, Alabama. Wow. Potent. Three potential number one seeds in your way to get to the SEC championship. I mean, the Final Four is easier. I think it's not even close. I mean, there are going to be tournament teams on Wednesday of. And there could also be a ranked team playing on Wednesday of the SEC tournament. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I mean, it could be us. I mean, I. I don't think there's any. I don't think there's any doubt. The Arkansas loss is what leaves a mark on us. Because if we'd Won that game. I think we feel pretty good about getting to not have to play on Wednesday. But that loss, that's a sticky loss in more ways than one. Not just seating wise. But I did see that clip. Oh, you did? Yeah. Jim Host says something like, I don't respect people who made their fortune off Cal and then turned on. Which is, you know, well, I gotta be careful what I say. I'm not trying to get into a Jim Host, a legend of what he did. So like, I'm not trying to get into a match of like he was the first person in America to see the value of local rights fees on college sports and to really, I mean from a business perspective create. He created a lot of what the modern, what the SEC and these conferences bundled into TV rights. He was a big part in starting that. So no way downgrade that. With the exception though, like you made your money, Jim, on college kids playing sports too, right? You made it. You made a fortune on that. But regard. And there's no doubt Cal played a role in the rise of KSR with the same point. I'm not like Baghdad Bob. And when you cover Kentucky, you can't just be like our great. I mean, I can't be Sean Hannity saying our great leader never makes a mistake. Like that's boring too. Like that's boring if you just want everything. But why do people want, why do people want news or opinions where everything the person they talk about does is right? Yeah. How boring is that? I heard actually Dave Portnoy since we talked about him, say that he was talking about Clay Travis and he was like, Clay Travis is so boring. Not because I don't agree with him a lot. He was like, but if everything Trump does is great, why am I listening to you? I can just assume that everything he did was great. So why would I listen to you talk similarly if everything the coach at Kentucky does is great no matter what, and all honor and support to him, why would you listen to this show? Like that would be so boring. So Jim Host is wrong. Like, respectfully, he's wrong. If we were not doing our job but the last three years, Cal's last three years, by doing our job, we had to throw out that things were not Kentucky. The day I learned that lesson, Drew was the 40 to nothing game against Vanderbilt with Joker Phillips. Take us back to that time. I'm still trying to break in. I'm doing a post game show and Kentucky. I'm in talks with Kentucky to do their official pre and post game show. The Next year and we lose 40 to nothing in an empty crowd. And I remember going into the old WLAP studios and thinking, what? What do you say? Like, I can't. I mean, what's positive? I mean, there's nothing to say. We lost 40 to nothing at home. No one was at the game. No one. What are you supposed to say? And I said, I have to get on here and say that we have to fire Joker Films. I don't want to say it. You're doing your job. But I have to say it. Drew and I had driven Joker Phillips home from the. You know, from parties, from a part, but not like in a bat, like long time before, like in the summer or something like that. I didn't want to say that, but I had to. And then by the way, it cost me the gig as the pregame show host the next year. They didn't do it for a couple of years, but like you have to do it. And the idea, the people who are paid by UK to be blank slates without opinions. I respect them, but nah, nah, nah, it ain't me, babe. I can't do that. We don't have to keep revisiting this, but do people forget that if you combine the SEC and NCAA tournaments, he lost nine of the last 11 postseason games? Like, what are you talking about? People pushing anyone out? That's not. That pushed people out. But we did lose a couple weeks ago five out of six games in the SEC tournament. Yeah. And we may lose another one this year because of the. How great. The. Hopefully not on Wednesday. Yeah, hopefully not. Tyler, go ahead. Kyler 859-280-2287 hey Matt, you often talk about UK making it difficult to attend games for the average fan. And I wanted to bring an issue to your attention that should start a discussion amongst the fan base. So, okay, so I know you don't have kids, but UK doesn't make it easy or affordable for new parents. So at UK football games you can purchase a lap seat for children 12 months and under for $10, but at UK basketball games you have to buy a full price ticket for an infant regardless of age. So, so it. So you're saying you can't bring a baby to a UK basketball game without buying them a ticket? Yeah, you have to buy a ticket for the baby. And is that any age? Like if it's like one month left, one month, you have to have a ticket for that baby. Shannon's laughing. Why are you laughing? No, I mean it's still a baby. I Mean, it's a, it's a human being. So what if it's not taking up a seat? And you know me, I'm not pro baby, but like, well, I mean, what if you and I go and you sit on my lap? You're not taking up a seat. Shouldn't you be charged? I would. I feel like I shouldn't be if I'm going to sit on your lap. So that's okay. I appreciate the call. Sir, interesting question. Should you charge a baby for a seat? So he's saying football does it, basketball does. I'm not. I mean, I take his word for it. I don't know. But should you charge a baby a ticket? I didn't know this, but I like the football. You pay $10 for a lap ticket, you sit in your parents lap. I don't know why they can't do that for basketball. So then, all right, so you say yes, do a lap ticket. Do a lap ticket. How old, though? Shannon makes a point. Someone could sit in your lap for a long time. How, how long? What's the age that you don't get to pay to sit in someone's lap? I think they got to be able to walk. So anywhere from 12 to 14. You have to set a set line because if you don't, people are going to. People are going to abuse that. You want to show their ID. What is the age? You're bringing 12 year olds for free? That seems a little high. Yeah. Wait a minute, you say 12 years old. Oh, 12 months old. Oh, I was going to say. What in the world? World. Ron's like, Josiah, you're still 12. Come on. Old, in other words. So you're saying, you're saying one year old. So you think it. One year, one month. Buy a ticket. Yes. Shut up and deal. I. Okay, I'm gonna take a hot take. Oh, here we go. Oh, no. Now if it. Ryan, I'll tell you what, just let. Hold the thought. I need a break to make sure. Okay. Hey, bbn, first of all, if anybody knows. I'm not saying I don't trust that guy, but if anybody knows for sure, that's true. 859-280-2287.

After I hear somebody go, you know, Matt, I need somebody who'll do X, Y and Z. And I just want to like, sing this song. Hate me, babe. Listen. I mean, I warned you. 859-280-2287. All right, so we got some folks on, including a person who wants to defend Bob in Jamestown. But. But here are the policies for UK sports. It is exactly what that guy said. For football, you can bring a baby, sit on the lap until they're one for. For basketball, everybody has to have a ticket. Airlines, the policy is baby free until 2. What should the policy be, people? We'll start with a man with children. Oh, wait a minute. Give your hot take. I am. I am a father. I have three boys. I don't think you should take a baby to a sporting event. I just don't. I never. I would never take my boys when they're that young. They don't know it. Causes problem for you. Causes problem for the people around you. So no babies at any sporting event. Why people think that have the need to take their kid to a dog? Can I amazingly be the defender of babies here? Because if the parents want to go, they have no other way to go for some of them unless they take their baby. And I know people say, okay, babysitter, yeah, yes, you can. Or babysitting businesses, you work with people. If you are so dead set on going to a game, you can find somebody to watch your baby for two, three hours. Okay. Do you include that with restaurants? They shouldn't go to restaurants. No, no. I'm just. What's the difference? Restaurants. It's. It's. It's what? It's. You're eating. Well, you're going to a game. Yeah. You could eat the game. No, you're. No, I'm just anti. Babies can come to the restaurant, but they can't come to the games. That makes no logical sense. Well, I mean, I. I think the only argument you could have is at a restaurant, you're at your own table with your own seats. At a game, you're all together right next to other people. So I think so. So no babies there. That's amazing. Even me, mister, please make your baby shut up. And if you have a baby screaming in the airport, I will stare at you even though I don't want to. Even me would say, you can't say they can't come. That's just my. That's just my opinion. I never did it. And I hurt your chances for running mayor. For running Mayor's race is falling down every single moment. So what should. All right, so his law is you can't come. What is your law? I don't agree with that at all. I would say, like, I guess probably two. What's the age where the airports. Yeah. We're like, you could strap them in a thing like about that size. I guess at about 2, they're getting a little too big. Yeah. So I'd say anything under two. I think one's actually bad. What I don't understand is not. Is letting them do it for football, not basketball. What is the argument for that? Just that the. It's indoors and so they'll be louder. Like, what. What's the problem? Like, I don't understand what the UK argument is to treat those differently. You'd think they would want to put the lap tickets in basketball because there's less seats. You know why? If you have a baby and you have to buy a seat, that takes away a seat somebody else could use. But if you use the lap rule, then that opens up a seat for somebody else because there's fewer seats at RUP than there is at Kroger. I'm following that logic, barely. But I get what you're saying. I looked up some other policies. Okay. The NFL is. Babies are free under a year and a half. But some stadiums make you stop at a little station and get a physical ticket for just in Case someone asks the baby, by the way, that looks like a 19 month. You're going to need a seat. Ticket master says most concerts babies are free under two. So two or a year and a half. Why you taking concert? No, no, no, no. I see little kids at Louder than Life. Like little kids. No, you don't see babies at Louder than Life. Several last year at Louder than Life. Wow, you're hurting their ears. It's loud. They're. Who would have thought? Ryan is the most pro kid person on this show and you are the most anti kid taking your baby to an event. I think you're looking at it as a guy who lives within a mile of a stadium. Say, I'm on vacation with my family and we want to go see the local baseball game. Does the baby stay in the hotel room? No, you don't go. So I just never get to see my favorite baseball team ever. I have to live within that. Mackenzie, go ahead. McKenzie. Hi. Hello. You keep saying that we beat Tennessee with this roster, but Butler played for most of that game and I feel like this roster played pretty well for most of the Texas games. So I feel like we've yet to see this roster play a whole game. Really well. Yeah, but they, I mean, Tennessee had cut it to one without Butler and we still pulled away and won and we won at Tennessee and we won at Tennessee. But no, that's a fair point. Butler did get. Butler did play some of that game. You're right. But, but when we were at Tennessee, didn't we have Robinson still? Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Yeah, you're right, we did. All right, well, never mind. Thank you for your facts, Mackenzie. No, I appreciate it. It's a fair play. Appreciate the call, Chad. Go ahead, Chad. Hey, Matt, I'm coming from all the way from Western Kentucky, driving one lane snow road to come watch the cats tonight. Don't bring your baby ride will be there telling you to get out. You know, I, I got a little six year old and I mean she sits in my lap at high school games and gets in for free. I think that it should be five. Okay, five. Wow, that's. It feels a little old. All right. So yeah, that is awesome you're coming to the game now be careful. I'm sure the roads are like the roads in Lexington are navigable, but I would say getting here might be a little difficult. I'm coming at 3:00 to get some KSR wings too. Perfect. We open at 3. We'll be there at 4:30. Hey, where are you having the pre game. There we are. Yes, we're going to do the pregame there. All right. Well, my first game ever Rupp was with the Unforgettables at Tennessee when Alan Houston played against us. Beat him one on one to 40 crowd. Was it the largest crowd in Rupp history for a while? I don't know that that stat fluctuates over the years, but I appreciate the call. We'll see you tonight. Beat him 101 to 40. Todd Savota had four points. Allen Houston had. That's one of the, one of the most memorable games. I am amazed that you came out so anti baby. It is like if I would have thought that would have been Shannon's take, I would have been like, oh, give him a year. You are like no babies. What year do kids get to come to games? I think I started taking my boys. They were probably three. So for the first three years of your life. Yeah, they're just not allowed out of the house. Do you just lock them in a room? The restaurants out to eat. That's not to a game. They wouldn't remember it anyway at two, would they? Right. That's what Nate Bargazi is like. They're not gonna remember anything. Should I just chain it to the wall? They're not gonna remember it. The Unshakables podcast is kicking off season two with an episode you won't want to miss.
