Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones.
D
Welcome back. It is hour number two, Kentucky Sports Radio, 859-280-2287. Text machine is 772-774-5254. We getting ready. Kentucky and nickels starts at seven. It is on ESPN plus or SEC plus or at least according to Shannon on YouTube. If you search for illegal streams.
E
We.
D
You know I always like to do Ryan information about the school. Right. Drew gave us the basketball report yesterday.
B
Yes.
D
I like to tell you about the university.
B
Okay.
D
The problem is for Nichols it is very hard to find anything about them.
E
It may be on this too if you need it.
D
Well, I have a couple things. I'll tell you what, I'll do mine then you add whatever. Okay. It's in Thibodeau, Louisiana. Now I found a lot more about Thibodeau than I did about Nichols. Would you like to know a couple things about Nick Thibodeau, Ryan?
B
Yes, absolutely.
D
Okay, so here we go. Shannon will appreciate this. It's been Referenced in a number of country songs, including Jerry Reed's song Amos Moses. Do you remember that song? Yeah, they called him.
C
You know that a lot on this show. Yeah, I'll have to find the. The lyric, the line.
D
But apparently he says something about Thibodeau, Louisiana.
B
Louisiana. How about that?
D
How's that? He talks a lot through that song. Right. Of course.
C
He integrated. Gonna get you, Amos.
D
He says the gator's gonna get you.
C
That's right. With the stump.
D
Apparently it's also mentioned in Hank Williams song Jambalaya down on the bio. Right.
C
All right, there's two songs.
B
There we go.
D
So you got two songs. People from Thibodeau include who? Just a man who just passed away. Kyron Lacy, the football player for lsu. You know, the one that just died in the. In the car wreck. A former supreme Chief justice of the United States Supreme Court, Edward White. That. You didn't know that, did you, Ryan?
B
I missed out on that one.
D
What's your favorite, Supreme Court justice, Ryan?
B
Oh, Thoroughgood. Marshall.
D
Thoroughgood. Thoroughgood. Yeah.
B
Yeah. Sandra Day o'. Connor. She's up there pretty high.
D
Well, why did you like. Why did you like them?
B
Because they were there forever. They were there for, like, when I was in school till just recently.
D
Well, Thurgood Marshall, I think, died in the mid-90s, so it wasn't really recently. But otherwise. Otherwise, I think that's right. And then that's really all I've got. There's not a whole lot about. About Nichols or Thibodeau. Now, Drew, did you find other things?
E
I have a few things. You're right. Very, very limited in what's going down in Thibodeau. It was named the best small town in Louisiana seven years ago. I guess it lost that title. But seven years ago, it was worse. It was rolling. The Manning Passing Academy has been at Nicholls State since 2005. So every year.
D
That's interesting. So that's where they have. It is in Thibodeau. Okay.
E
Many, many, many great NFL quarterbacks started at the Manning Passing Academy. So they all know where it is. It's also the only.
D
Do we know why they picked there? They could have been conceivably gone anywhere. Why would they pick Thibodeau, Louisiana, you think?
E
Actually tried to do some digging on that. Couldn't find a clear answer. It's even called Manning Field at Nicholls State.
B
Really?
E
They don't have much of a connection there, otherwise.
D
Okay, and then what's the only school.
E
In Louisiana with a four year culinary degree where you could actually just go get a degree in gumbo and cooking jambalaya and red beans.
D
I bet they've got good food there, though, if they have a. If you get to cook Louisiana food at a culinary. Like, I bet that now I feel like when we go. Our trip down south, we might have to go to Thibodeau.
E
We should definitely pop in. I have two more basketball notes that I think we'll find interesting. That's about the extent of how it's an hour from New Orleans, about an hour 15 from Baton Rouge, if you're driving. So just to show you where it is there.
B
Yeah.
E
On the basketball, they have a new player who played for Billy Gillespie last year, Nick Crass. He should start, but he was from Tarleton the last two seasons.
D
He had some stories.
E
Yeah.
D
Yeah. Actually, I'd like to. You should interview him, Drew. I bet he has some interesting things to say.
E
I'll try to do that tonight if they make him available. And just last season, they beat lsu, so, you know, not like a. Not a pushover. The roster changed a little bit, but they did beat lsu.
D
That's a little concerning. They beat lsu. All right, well, there you go. It is your colonel, but nevertheless. All right, so let's. Let's do a couple news things before we get back to the phones. Did you see Craig Skinner yesterday, Ryan? He got on a press conference. He got up on a table.
B
Yes, he did.
D
He stood up on a table, held his arms out, and begged the UK fan base to pack Memorial Coliseum for their game Sunday against Tennessee. Did you love that move?
B
I personally kind of liked it. I don't care if he's supposed to be the respected head coach. I just like the excitement and the. His dedication to trying to get people to come watch his team because he's. He's the best coach on campus. They're the best team on campus, and people need to get out there to see him. So I'm all for it. I'm glad he did.
D
I don't just like it, Shannon. I love it. We wouldn't have talked about his press conference otherwise, right?
E
Yeah.
D
This was. He understood the way to get people to care about this volleyball game and the press conference. Get on the table, right. Stand on your hands if you have to. Anything to get attention. He stands on the table, says, please come out on Sunday. I hope we pack the place now. They deserve it. And I think that was a great move by Craig. Skinner gets. Get the notice.
C
Got the Skinner swag going on there. Number two team in the country get out there and support them. They got Tennessee coming up. You got to drown out that Tennessee. Orange with blue.
D
Yes. I just going to warn people here for a second. For those of you that get a little triggered about such talk, you might want to walk away for two minutes. Oh, today is election day.
B
It is.
D
All right, now, we don't. Do we have any elections in Kentucky?
B
I don't know of one. I didn't see one sign. I didn't see any pole booth signs this morning. I didn't see anything.
D
I assume we don't have one. Does anybody know of any election anywhere in Kentucky? Because I don't. I didn't hear of any. If they did, they didn't publicize it very much.
C
No, I think schools are in, so.
D
Yeah. All right, so no election here, but we have some elections. I'm going to give you your election day. What to watch for, Ryan. Okay, let's do it. The first biggest thing is the mayor of New York. Have you followed this race at all? The people running for mayor of New York? Because it is hilarious. And really there's a guy in there that you all need to know. Have you followed it at all?
B
One of them is. Is a Cuomo. One of them.
D
One of them is Cuomo. Andrew Cuomo. That's, you know, he was. He was governor during, you remember, for a while. Right. Okay. Then there's the guy. Go ahead.
E
The Zoron. I don't know how to say his name. He's the one that keeps popping up on my social media.
D
He's probably going to win. His name is Zoron Momdami. He's only 31 years old. He kind of ran a social media campaign and he took off. And so a lot of people were worried because he claims to be like a socialist and he's probably going to win. He's the other. But that's not the one I want to talk about, Shannon. I want to talk about the third guy. Yeah, you, Especially you, Shannon, need to look this guy up.
C
I'm looking at him.
D
His name is Curtis. Is it Silwa or Sliwa? S L I.
C
Whichever one you want to go with.
D
Whatever you want to go. Yeah, you. If you've not followed this guy, you need to do some research on him. He wears a red beret everywhere he goes.
F
Why?
D
Because he. He created the Guardian Angels. Do you remember the Guardian Angels?
B
Oh, yeah.
D
Back in the day, they would like. So he. This is a crazy story. He was working at McDonald's. Okay. And I guess his McDonald's got robbed in the Bronx or whatever. And so he got a group of McDonald's employees to. To agree that after their shift, every night, they would ride the subway to protect people. Now, they did a lot of stuff that was not good. So I'm not saying that, like, that should be praised because apparently they became like a little rogue they call. You've heard of them. They were big in the 80s, Ryan. Right. The Guardian Angels.
B
Huge, huge organization.
D
I think he started it, from what I understand. But he also has a crazy life. He was riding in the back of a cab once and. Well, first of all, he had a radio show. This is part why I want to talk about it. He was like us. He had a radio show and he would talk trash about the Mafia. So, Shannon, he would come on the air and be like, john Gotti's killing people in the Bronx.
B
Right?
C
I'm not doing that.
D
Well, that's the thing. He just kept doing it. Every day. He would go on the radio and he would talk trash about the Mafia. And so eventually, you know what they wanted to do, Shannon? They wanted to kill him.
F
Right?
D
So he called a cab once and they. The Mafia instead pick went and picked him up and act like they were the cab. Oh, they got him in the cab. They shot him a few times while he was in the cab. The dude break one of the shots, breaks the window of the cab. He jumps out of the window of the cab at 45 miles an hour and rolls down the road and gets.
B
Away from my good story.
D
Wow. Like, crazy story. The man is insane, but, like, in an entertaining way. Well, he is the Republican nominee, and he's actually. He runs, like, every time because the Republican never wins. But this time, he's actually gotten some traction and is probably going to get, like, 20% of the vote. But if you ever get a chance, Drew, you need to read the story about that guy. It's a. I don't think he should be the mayor, but he's a fascinating.
C
I kind of do. What's your mayor done? Is your mayor gotten shot in the back of the case?
D
Well, our mayor in Louisville has.
C
Yeah, that's true. That's true.
D
So. But my point is, you need to read about him. So that's the. That's the race today, Drew going on with the guy who got shot in the Bronx.
E
It seems like one that long ago in politics would be like, oh, this person went to Harvard. This person went to jail. Look how intelligent they are now. We got guys getting shot five times Climbing out of cabs. Times have changed a little bit.
D
Times change. That's exactly. And then there are other races, and I think there's a couple governor's races, et cetera. And then Ryan, Dick Cheney died this morning.
B
I heard that this morning.
D
Former vice president under George W. Bush. They say Ryan, the most powerful vice president in the history of America in terms of that. George Bush handed him so much to do that he was the most powerful vice president. And his. The movie about him, what's the name? Vice, I think, is the name of it. It's a really, really good movie if you ever get a chance. He passed away this morning as well.
B
And unfortunately for me, my one memory is then he accidentally shoots somebody on a hunting trip one time.
C
We talked about that, I think, didn't we, on the show?
D
Oh, yeah. He accidentally shot his friend in the face.
B
Yeah.
D
On a hunting trip.
B
That's my memory of Dick Cheney.
D
Yeah. He didn't die, but he did accidentally shoot his friend in the face. A lot of shooting talking about today in terms of the election. So rest in peace to Dick Cheney. Who's up next? Peggy. Peggy. Go ahead, Peggy.
F
Morning, guys.
D
Good morning.
F
I have a complaint.
D
Okay.
F
About Cameron Mills.
D
Okay.
F
He. I think he is so rude to Dick Gabriel.
D
You mean. You mean Dave Baker? You mean Dave Baker?
F
Yeah. I'm sorry.
D
Yes.
F
He is always interrupting him. He shouts, he says the rudest thing. And I would love to go back to when we had not Richie.
D
Oscar.
F
Or whoever, but anybody.
D
Anybody. So. So I agree with you that they interrupt. That he interrupts a lot. But does. It feels like Dave Baker interrupts him, too. It feel like they yell at each other a lot, though, don't they?
F
Yeah. Yeah.
D
So why is it just Cameron's fault?
F
Because I think he disrespects him. He disrespects a lot of people.
D
Okay.
F
He.
D
So you're. You're anti Cameron?
F
Yes, I am.
D
But are you pro Dave?
F
Yes.
D
Okay.
F
All right.
D
Well, thank you, Peggy. Brian, response.
B
I think Dave Baker's got a sweetheart there. And Peggy there, Peggy taking up for her man.
C
Taking up for Dave Baker, except she.
E
Thought he was Dick Gabriel. Who's being disrespectful to Dave Baker, Cameron Mills or Peggy?
D
Dave, no respect. Cameron interrupts him and Peggy thinks he's Dick Gabriel.
B
I think we're going to have Cameron Mills slander here on the show this morning.
C
Cameron and Dave are like the two Muppets, the two judges that set up on the balcony and just argue and bicker back and forth.
D
That's true. When they go at each other, they really do go at each other. Like I, I assume Drew that they like each other but sometimes if you listen, you wouldn't know.
E
Is it, is it a bit, you know, I hear it too. Is it just part of their, I don't know, charm but their chemistry or do they really think, oh, here, I gotta go sit down with him.
D
Ryan, you know them both better than I do. Do they like each other or not?
B
They 100% like each other. It's more of just that's how they are. That's their bit.
D
Why do they talk like each other? Like, like people give me a hard time for to you but we clearly have affection. I don't hear the affection with the two of them.
B
I don't know. That's just, you know, in this day and age of media, you got to scream and holler. It seems like on every show you don't have to but they, they 100% like each other. That is total. Just part of the act for the pregame show.
D
I can tell one person, Shannon, that does not happy at least with Cameron. Yeah, she likes dick. Gabriel 859-280-2287 Cornbread Hemp maybe those two guys need some cornbread hemp, don't you think?

45 minutes from eastern Thibodeau, Louisiana. So it's not Thibodeau, it's Thibodeau.
C
Thibodeau.
F
Yep.
D
H is silent. 859-280-2287. Drew, I'm just going to tell you. Peggy ain't alone in her feelings. Oh, the text machine is lit up. Dave Baker. A lot of people with sympathy for Dave Baker. I don't ever hear this. I mean we talked about it like a year or two ago about how they argue, but he's it ramped up to another level or something. Drew, because there's a lot of people with with some Cameron thoughts. Apparently the Peggy was probably talking about Rex, not Oscar because Rex did it before Cameron.
E
Okay, I, you know, I get to romp about an hour before tip off so I'm missing most of it. I only hear the 10, 15 minutes from KS Bar to downtown, so I'm not as well versed in it, but I know it exists. You know, you can even. I even hear it in what little bit I get before each game.
D
I might have to read a few of these. One person writes, peggy's not wrong. When you guys in the pregame show, I just start hearing Cameron yelling and it stays in my mind until I go to sleep that night.
B
Over the top.
D
What? That's what they said. One person writes, cameron yells at Dick. Actually they use that for a different sentence. Cameron yells at Cameron yells at Dave so much I feel bad for him. And I used to think Dave was the person that interrupted. He stands no chance against Cameron. Another person says, though I'm team Cameron, Dave always acts like he knows basketball and he doesn't. Cameron has to put him in line. Well, it sounds like these people have strong feelings Drew, that's good, right? That means the show, you know, people have strong feelings.
E
Yeah. Some of them even know the names of the host, which is. Which is always good. Cameron does, especially now in the Pope era. Add some perspective, plan for Patino in that era. That, that is, that is unique and that Dave can't, you know, match. But I like when they get to bickering.
D
I cannot believe how many people are writing in about this.
B
Well, because they had. They had a couple.
D
Peggy has tapped a nerve. Tapped a vein in the UK fan base that I did not know existed.
B
They had a couple, what we call them dust ups in the past couple years that where they. They appeared to really get mad at each other. But then they said afterwards, you know, it's just debating. They're just debating a topic on the show. I don't think they're really mad at each other.
D
You don't think or you don't know?
B
I don't think.
D
Who's up next?
C
Madison.
D
Madison, how are you? How many questions I have.
F
I got two of Matt. Okay, one, y' all were talking about the start of the college basketball season. What's the most exciting game on? But do you think it'll be the Pope and Patino game or.
D
Yeah, so I think just. Just for the sort of symbolism of them playing each other, I think it's Pope and Patino. That's what I would say. Just for. Just for that reason. I don't know if it'll be the best game. I mean, the game I'm worried about losing the most is the one next week to Louisville. I actually think that's the hardest game in our non conference schedule because we may not have a full team and we're playing a true road game. So if you're asking me the game I think will be the most exciting, it would be St. John's but if you're asking me the game I'm worried about the most, it's probably Louisville.
F
And then to how many, how many fans do you think will show up for the UK Florida football game?
D
Appreciate the call. Yeah, I don't know, Drew. I mean, it probably won't be full, but I'd expect it to be. What do you think about, like, the Texas game? Maybe a little bit fewer.
E
Yeah, I don't think it'll be close to full. And with the Texas game, you had visiting fans. I don't know if Florida fans are going to be here. They won't be there in November with no Keeneland and everything else going on. But with the win, I think they're going to avoid a disastrous situation. I thought if they had gotten killed at Auburn, this was going to be the statement game. But I think some fans are just eager to see what they can do next and really supportive of Bowley and the young guys who've stepped up and look like they still want to finish this season strong.
D
I think it'll be a good crowd, Ryan. I mean, I don't know. Probably not the Texas game, probably more than Tennessee, less than Texas. Would you put it like that or. No, I would.
B
I mean, despite the growing apathy that's happened the last couple years, our fans have still shown up to all these home games. They haven't won any, but they've been showing up. And you're right that the Texas crowd was good, the Tennessee crowd was good, and I think this Florida crowd may still well packed.
D
What's the weather supposed to be?
B
I haven't looked last.
E
I looked like. I think it said, like mid-40s. I didn't see much about any rain or anything.
D
Well, for comfort level, that's. You'd want. You don't want it to be cold, but to beat Florida, you might want it to be cold because they haven't played a game in this temperature in years. For Florida, I don't even know how.
B
Long I want it to be freezing cold, though. That's on that sideline for Florida, actually, when they come up here in November.
D
Who's up next?
C
Matt.
D
Matt. Go ahead, Matt.
F
Hey, guys. Chilling out in my garden in the barefooted in the day shine. Going to do my daily meditation after the show. I've got a comment and two questions real quick.
D
You get two, My first three.
F
Okay, well, Mike, I'll do a comment and then a question. Y' all was talking about goat yoga yesterday. It really is bad. I did it in Orlando, Florida, and you get to pick which goat you want. And I picked the smallest one. But the whole time I was worried about it, you know, going number two on me or trying to eat my hair or anything like that.
D
Yeah, I have the same worries about when I do stuff with Shannon, so I understand exactly what you're talking about. What's your question?
F
All right. How do you think we can match up to Louisville if we at least have one of our point goals?
D
I haven't seen them really play. I didn't watch the game with Sacramento State. You know, I watched a little bit of their game against Kansas and they kind of got run off the floor, but I don't know to what extent? Exhibition game, what that matters. I mean, they beat Sacramento state or whatever, South Carolina State or whatever by 80 points last night. So I appreciate the call. They've got a lot of depth. They probably, you know, they might be a little bit more athletic at the starting positions than us. We might be a little better off the bench, but I don't really know. I mean, I think it's going to be an unknown. We're going to go in there and anything can happen. But for me, you got to tell me, are the point guards playing? If they're playing, we got a chance. If they're not playing, I think I would probably go with Louisville. Drew, do you agree? Yeah.
E
I got to get those guys back. It's hard to read anything. Louisville had 60 points in the first half last night and some of the.
D
Others that team played. They were terrible. We'll be right back. TJ Smith, personal injury attorney.
B
Call tj.
D
He'll make him pay.
C
Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio, presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.
D
I love this song. Shannon Mio Mayo. Son of a gun on the bio.
C
That's right.
E
Yep.
D
This is a great song, Hank. Senior crawfish pie. I'm excited. When we do our trip to south. I'm gonna make you go get some food with me. Ryan, in Louisiana, would you say, if you were to say what state has the best food, does Louisiana win?
B
Well, if you like that kind of food. I'm not that crazy about Cajun food.
D
But it doesn't just have to be Cajun, just everything like. Like they have, you know, it's like a mix of southern and then Cajun. You're just. You're not. You're not buying it.
B
I'm not.
D
So what would your state be there? What would your state be?
B
I like, like seafood. I would probably pick, I guess probably Florida.
C
They do have good seafood.
B
Good, nice seafood restaurants down there.
C
Like seafood, though.
D
Yeah. I mean, you have to like seafood.
B
Yeah.
C
New York's got the best as far as, like, just everything you want.
D
New York would have everything. See, I would rank it. I would go. Louisiana is for me personally, number one. If you like seafood, like Boston as really good seafood, especially like, you know, Maine. Do you like lobster, Ryan?
B
Yes, I do.
D
Okay, so then Maine is where you want to go for lobster. You're a foodie. What would you have, Drew?
E
Oh, me. Louisiana is high in the conversation. Probably my number one. Maine's close. I did my own lobster catching last summer. But then loving Mexico and Mexican food. I would need to get close to Mexico. So I might even include like Texas for Tex Mex or California as a third.
D
See you. You and I are in the same page. I mean, I probably would say Louisiana and Texas would be two of my top. Shannon's right. New York has everything. But there's not like a new definitive New York food. Shannon. It's just got everything you would want. Yeah.
C
You know, pizza is a big thing that.
D
What do you consider to be the worst food? What worst state for food? Like, when you think of. I would be like, I would never want to eat food there.
E
Indiana.
B
Hurts me. Hurts.
D
I mean, that's not a bad call.
C
Like West Virginia would be everything fried. But I mean, I kind of like fried food.
E
But yeah, their little pizza rolls are very overrated. And I hope someone from West Virginia hears that.
D
They're telling you. I think you're kind of right about West Virginia because Kentucky has a lot of the same stuff, but it doesn't feel as quite as heart clogging.
C
Yeah. Like West Virginia, they just gave up.
D
Just Indiana. Those. Indiana is a good one because it's Midwest. And generally speaking, I'm against Midwest. Except they have great beef in the Midwest. But I don't think. Does Indiana have beef?
E
Oh, yeah. What's their food?
D
Beef.
B
Corn.
D
But if I'm going to get beef and corn, I'm going to go to Iowa or one of those Steve Grissom.
E
Just right over here. Nochalinda Farms.
D
I'm going to go to. No chili. Like, why am I going. Why am I going to Indiana for anything except sadness.
B
My mom's deviled eggs.
D
Yeah, but I mean, your mom doesn't sell those. That I mean, like, it's just at her house. I don't think the whole country. I don't think we can all go to her house.
E
And Shannon learned to love those in Florida. So you can't even give those in Indiana.
C
That's right.
E
I can't think of an Indiana food at all.
D
I can't either.
E
Or even a restaurant.
D
Yeah. Well, they have that one place that everybody likes in Indianapolis. The Steakhouse.
E
Oh, yeah. St. Elmo.
B
St. Elmo's. But I mean, there's some really good, like Amish restaurants I like. That's kind of different.
E
I think you're answering our question.
D
Yeah.
B
You haven't been to the right places. The Hobb Steakhouse.
D
I'm going to say. You think I'm exaggerating. There have not been many topics in recent weeks that have gotten more comments than this. Cameron Dave Baker stuff.
B
Pro or con?
D
I mean, pro.
C
Dave. Con.
D
Cam. Cameron needs to work on his pr. I'm not. I'm just saying there's a lot of Cameron negativity. One person writes, matt, I'd like to hear you host a show with Cameron. Neither of you would be able to speak from having cut off the other one.
C
Be talking over each other. I kind of would like to hear that.
D
See, I don't listen to it. So I didn't realize. I mean, we had this conversation a couple years ago because. Didn't one of them, like, walk out?
B
They. They had. They got a little dust up one time. That guy sounded like it got a little heated.
D
Did somebody walk out?
B
I don't.
D
Somebody walked out, I think. Or somebody's telling me people walked out. Do you remember?
B
I don't remember they got that bad, but I think they went to a commercial break. Billy. Billy may have been running the board that day. He's standing right.
D
Don't put it on Billy. Billy. Don't listen to. Listen to Ryan trying to throw Billy under the bus. Don't put it on Billy. This is not on Billy.
B
He can answer the question and what happened that day.
D
Yeah, but he said he works there.
E
He can't. He can't do that.
D
You can't do that. There's kind of a, you know, there's an implicit. You don't, you know, you don't. You don't talk about that stuff. But apparently we're not affiliated. They went to commercial once. Is this right, Ryan? They went to commercial once and people thought one of them might not return.
B
Maybe that's what it was. I don't think anybody really walked out, but they went to a commercial and settled it during the commercial break. And I don't remember what the dust up was about. I remember they were kind of yelling at each other.
D
You know, I actually used to host that show, Shannon. Yes, you do. I hosted it with Oscar for a years. Few years.
C
Did you. I love ever yell at each other?
D
No, not at all. I loved it like sitting there with Oscar, I felt like I was talking with my grandpa and we were just. I would. We. This was. And we were doing it during the. The really good cow years. We did it. He and I did it from 20, 2013 to 2016 or 17. I got it was. I. We. They took. Kicked me off of it when I started doing hey Kentucky, they wouldn't let me do it anymore. But we got. I know we did it during the 38.1Run and I loved it. I love doing it with him. We talk about stuff. He'd bring up players from the past. He was so good with callers because a lot of the callers wanted to ask him about, like, I love doing it with us. That's some of. If you're talking about some of the stuff that gave me the most joy. Hosting that pregame show with Oscar and the connection that gave me to, you know, I mean, I listened to Oscar with my grandfather years ago when he did it and getting to do that and that was. That was awesome. Remember, we would do the pregame show. Ryan there in the lobby so I could run in there and do the other one.
B
You would do our pregame show, do the network pregame show, and then do the sideline during the game, broadcast during.
D
The game and the post game show.
B
Right.
D
It was too much me probably in the end. Who's next?
C
Nick?
D
Nick. Go ahead, Nick.
F
Hey, guys. How's it going? Happy game day. So watch the video Tyler put out yesterday. I think it was the season prediction video. I'm sure y' all seen that. So y' all participated in it. I'm curious of you four, who's got the hottest hot take about this season?
D
The hottest hot take about the season?
F
Yeah, Like, Tyler said that, like, we're gonna lose to Arkansas Bud Walton and then we're going to turn around and beat him in the SEC Championship isn't exactly.
D
I like that one. I actually think that's a really good pick by her.
B
It's a good one.
D
I thought that was good. I think that's got the hottest. Yeah. Well, I appreciate the call. I would say. Well, I'll tell you what, I'll use Tyler's and do it a different way. I think we lose Tuesday at Louisville and then beat them in the Elite Eight Drew to go to the Final Four.
E
Oh, the old double dip on Louisville like we did a couple times.
D
I think we're going to lose to Louisville. This. I think we'll lose to Louisville in the regular season next week, but then we'll beat them to go to the Final four in the tournament. What's. What about yours?
E
I'm trying to come up with one right now. I did the video and don't even know what I said.
B
I did a show with someone. I said they'd lose to Louisville, they'd lose to Calipari, and they lose the Patino, but yet make it to the Final Four.
E
Okay.
D
Oh, you got us losing the. All three of them. Yeah.
B
Yeah.
D
Wow. So you got a Kelsey Patino Cal, triple header of losses, but yet they.
B
Still make a run and go to the final four. So the losses won't.
D
Interesting. That is a hot take. I like that. What? Shannon, do you have one?
C
Kentucky loses the Nichols tonight, but then goes to the final four. I don't have one. I have no. I don't really have one. I really don't have one.
D
All right. Trudy, do you remember what yours was since you actually did it?
E
No, I have no idea. I'm trying to think. I don't have them losing a non conference game, so I can't come up with a hot one.
B
There.
D
You have them lose. Wait a minute, hang on. You have them losing no non conference games.
E
Yeah.
D
Well, that's a hot take.
E
Well, there you go. There's my hot tip. They win the non conference. I do need people to know that Stephen asked me these questions after the Purdue game that night, so I might have even said 40. And oh, I was in a different head space when I.
D
When I did. That's a hot take. Losing no non conference games.
E
All right, I'll stick with that one.
C
Storts.
D
Storts. Go ahead, Storts.
F
Hey, fellas. Matt, I got some statistics for you. Okay?
D
Okay.
F
These are fun football statistics. I got nine coaches. You guys tell me whether the Grim Reaper Stoops knocked him out or didn't knock him out, but he was involved.
D
With all of them.
F
First one is September 13, 2014. UK 30, UF 36 in triple over time. Did they knock Will Milch Champ out?
D
I think he went a little longer, but he lost his job that year.
F
You are correct. You are correct. Next one. September 12, 2015. UK 26, South Carolina 22. Steve Spurrier quits.
D
He quit at the. He didn't quit that game, but he did quit at some point.
F
He did, but Kentucky got a lot of credit for that one.
D
Yes.
F
November 24, 2018. UK 56, Louisville 10. Bobby Petrino quits.
D
Done. Yes. Correct.
F
That's a. That's a. No, actually, it's a trick question. He quit right before that game.
D
October 2nd. He did quit before that game. I forgot. You're right. Go ahead.
F
Okay. Actually, let me go. October 17, 2020. UK 34, Tennessee 7. Jeremy Pruitt.
D
I think he finished. I think. I think he left that year, but I don't think he left after that game.
F
He did. He. And he left at the end of the year under pressure. October or. I'm sorry. December 5, 2020. South Carolina 18, UK 41. Will. Must.
D
Champ fired in November we must champ. We put out twice. That was the second time. Yes.
F
And actually I just. Trick question gave you the answer incorrect. No, that was another one. He quit right before the game. We played them December 5th. He quit in November.
D
All right, I'm gonna have to go to break. I'm gonna have to go to break. I'm gonna go to break. Give me the other times we've knocked a coach out because these are. This is actually good. What are the other times? Hugh freeze. And who.
F
Okay. Okay. Well, there's actually two more. October of 21, Florida UK. October of 21, LSU at UK.
D
It is kind of amazing. I appreciate the call that. That we've been a coach killer. I mean, Stoops really has gotten a lot of coaches fired over the years.
E
Yeah. And it also, it hurts him a little bit because teams will point to his big wins and say, well, those teams weren't good. And it's like, well, you think of those teams as not being good because they lost to Kentucky. That happened to Florida a bunch.
D
Yeah. Shannon, clear the lines. Okay. All right, I'm going to give away. I've got tickets for the game tonight, including two very good ones. Fill up the lines. I need your quickest because these always make people groan. Your best joke. Okay, that's it. Best joke. The best joke will sit on the seventh row for the game tonight. 859-280-2287. But if it's not good, I'll be upset. Best joke. But remember, Kentucky families are struggling to access. Well, this is a terrible transition.
C
That's okay. Just do it.
B
It's fine.
D
We'll get to get a terrible transition Kentucky made. Nevertheless, Kentucky families are struggling to access what could be basic essentials, housing and child care. And the Kentucky chambers is focused on improving access to housing and child care. They've been talking about this for over a year now. They're asking us to help go to. Opportunity starts here. Opportunity starts here. Add your name and tell lawmakers about how important housing and child care is to a stronger Kentucky. Opportunity starts here with the Kentucky Chamber we'll be giving away. Here's the thing. I've got three sets of tickets. Drew, I'll let you pick one. Ryan, I'll let you pick one. And Shannon, I'll let you pick one. Perfect. And the one I think's the best will be the one that gets on the seventh row. Okay. Of the three, do it. All right, we'll take a break and be right back. Ksr.

This is a tough crowd. We got two more. Who's next?
C
Brian.
D
Brian, where are you from?
F
Louisville.
D
Louisville. What do you got?
F
All right, these guys are sitting around a bonfire and they're talking. All of a sudden, this dog comes up and plops down in the middle of them and starts licking on his private. One guy looks over and goes, man, I wish I could do that. The other guy goes, I'll hold the dog.
D
It shows you. It shows you who the like, what it is that people think like. I like plays on words. These guys just. You can't. All right, who's next?
B
Greg?
D
Greg, what do you got?
F
There are two people on Death Row. One a Tennessee fan, one a Georgia fan. They asked them their last request. The Tennessee fan said, please, just let me hear Rocky Top one more time. The Georgia fan said, shoot me first.
D
All right, so there you go. That's our choices.

— Matt Jones, [06:37]
