Now, here's Matt Jones. Welcome, everyone. It is Kentucky Sports Radio Wednesday, March the 11th. Early. This is normally pre-show time, but it's KSR today because the SEC tournament begins with the Cats tipping off the first game. And you can give us a shout on the Clark's Puppet Shop phone line. We're here, and we're going to talk to you. 859-280-2287. A vision auto glass text machine is 772-774-5254. And this station sponsored by the TJ Smith law office. If you call TJ, he'll make them pay. Normally you would be hearing Billy and Shannon, but we're starting a little early. Drew is on his way to the game. I've got Ryan here and Shannon and Billy as, as we incorporate the pre-show crew that we're going to go until 11 o'clock. and then at 11 o'clock it will go to the official pregame show and then the game starts at 1230. Weird day, but a big day for the Cats as 5-5 is what they're saying in the UK at the UK locker room. 5-5 ready to go today. Everything could change starting today. Change the narrative of the season. You go out and start a little bit of a run, but you've got to win this one today. Usually I'm naked in the shower right now listening to Billy and Shannon. Getting your news. He has to tell us that every time too, Matt. I don't know why. I don't need to know that detail. I'll be honest with you. He doesn't know this. He's getting a conversation today. Oh, really? At the Mint. No, he is. He's getting a conversation. I'm being serious about there's just too much nudity, and there's just too much of all that. And he's getting a conversation today that he needs to, and I can't believe I'm having to do this with a 59-year-old, that he needs to act his age. They're not the explicit. Well, I mean, he doesn't get the text machine. And the messages are, it's creeping people out. And so there is a, he was getting a conversation today, and now he's getting it on the air because we couldn't even get two minutes into the show before that started. And moderation's the key. Moderation's the key, and he doesn't understand that. And he puts it in every day, and he doesn't understand. I will work on this. You will work on it. I absolutely will work on it. Because we're going to start instituting fines once a month or something or even once a week. That's a slippery slope, though. We give Matt the power to give fines to everybody. We could be fine for a lot of things. I'm giving myself the power. Because I'm speaking just like when we're talking about Mitch Barnhart. I feel like to some extent we're trying to echo the fans of the show and the UK fan base. I'm echoing the fans of the show, specifically of the female persuasion. you're like denny hardaway trying to find the players nil money i mean that's basically what you're doing with ryan and and it's working out for penny look he's he's been a huge success not really uh billy it's nice to be on here with here uh with you here today yeah thanks for letting me join uh you've got a stressful day you got a lot going on i do it's a big day for the uk sports world i want to ask you how many days did you pack for for this tournament well i mean i my My packing was very difficult here because we're going to the SEC tournament. I'm staying through Sunday regardless. Then I'm flying to ESPN. And then depending on where Kentucky gets sent, might be flying directly there. So I had to pack for like two weeks. Ah, okay. Even though there's a world where, I guess, I mean, I still have to go to ESPN. So I'd be back Tuesday. But there's a world where they'll be like, no. Like, I didn't pack. If you're asking me a question, I didn't pack a lot of UK shirts. I felt like two UK shirts. would be sufficient yeah ryan said he only packed to friday is that what you said before the show started i'm good through friday we get to saturday i'm gonna have to double up on some underwear and some socks okay again right there tournament side out right there you didn't even you don't need to talk about any piece of you or clothing that is not double covered that's your that's your standard there needs no piece of you or clothing that is not needs to be brought up that's that's the rule Does that mean no pep talk in Nashville then? But if I ask for it. Oh, if you ask for nudity, it's okay. That's different. Okay. But it needs to no longer. It's his go-to, and it's become a crutch, and I don't want you are better than that. I'll work on it. Yeah. Well, you didn't get far. You got a minute. They just tell you he's dry. That's where we're going to get if you don't stop. So, yeah, so I don't know. Because if they go to, like, Buffalo or Philly in the tournament, I'm going to be in Connecticut, so I'm just going to go straight there. I'm not going to come home and then go back. If they go to St. Louis or Oklahoma City, then I'll come here and get in a car with them and go. But, yeah, if they go to Buffalo, because the choices include Buffalo, Philly, Tampa, I'll probably just fly to all those places. Yeah. And then St. Louis and Oklahoma City, and then there's somewhere else. Portland. If it's Portland and San Diego, I don't think we're going to be able to go. So it just depends. I mean, if you look, as long as we win today, I think the most likely scenario is Philly. Because we'll be a seven seed. And if you kind of look at it, Philly and Buffalo look like the most... I think it's very unlikely, unless we lose today, that we end up in San Diego or Portland. But we'll just have to wait and see. It's kind of crazy for you guys. You were just in Buffalo a couple months ago. We ended up going back there for the NCAA tournament. I know. But I liked it. We liked the wings. We now know where to go. Love Buffalo. Blue cheese. Yeah, we know where to go. And it would be. But for Kentucky, today is a big day. Get your Buffalo hat on, I just noticed. Today is a half to win. I would even argue tomorrow is close to a half to win. But today's the after win. You lose today, you're going to drop to the 8-9 seed probably. You're going to get paired with the one seed, and I think the one seeds are unbeatable for us because we would end up with a Duke-Arizona-Michigan second round. Listen, I know I'm saying second round. We can easily lose in the first round. But you're going to end up with a Duke-Arizona-Michigan second round matchup, and I don't think you can win those games. But if you can win today and win tomorrow and end up in that sixth seed where you could play in the second round, Nebraska. Or who do they have as paired with right now? Miami, Ohio is what I saw on one of them. Well, that's the first round. But if you could get Miami of Ohio, Nebraska. You'd take that. You couldn't ask for a better situation. but if you lose you have a chance to get i mean i might have to look and see who the who the eight nines are but you could lose in the first round or then play duke or something and ryan you don't you're not gonna win you know the the team's got nobody to blame themselves too you take care of business you know you win some of these games at a&m the other night georgia missouri at home it's an entirely different conversation they they have nobody to blame it themselves for the situation they've been put into they are they it's it's completely their fault yep so the latest update is katekia seven seed playing st louis in st louis with illinois as the two seed and that's not well first that's not ideal but i'll take it yeah yeah that's not ideal i mean playing st louis in st louis yeah but we'll have a lot of people there too yeah and we're playing cream abdul jabbar which means i get to meet him which would be exciting read me who the two seeds on uh let's see you got illinois okay uconn you don't really want that houston don't really want that michigan state don't really want that all three of those you don't really want to play any of those teams but you'd have a puncher chance now go read me the three seeds gonzaga okay iowa state i'm all right nebraska definitely all right alabama you won't play they won't put us So if you're asking me, I think if you win two games in the SEC tournament, you're going to get one of those Gonzaga, Iowa State, Nebraska. Now, obviously, Gonzaga pounded us, but that also makes it less likely they'd put us there. So you're looking at Iowa State and Nebraska, and I think if you're Kentucky, Billy, that's as good as you can ask for. Yeah, take that every day of the week. You're right. Those one seeds are just on a different level, a different tier this year, and you want to avoid them at all costs. But today, I mean, LSU was a team you were down 18 to at one point in that game. You had to have a Malachi Moreno shot at the buzzer. This is important. No, and they can beat us. You lose this one, it's, you know, the fan base. All right, so read me. I don't mean to make you just read me the bracket, but read me the 11th seed. So this would be who, if we win the first two games, who we would play in the first round. All right, the 11th seed, SMU, VCU, play-in. Beatable, yeah. Missouri. They wouldn't put us there. Central Florida or Indiana, play-in game. Beatable. and i think i skipped over the other one did i say no missouri yeah all right so now give me the eight nines because all right so let's say we're at eight read me the eight nines okay so utah state iowa okay you don't want to play iowa miami or tcu jay lucas and tcu ohio state clemson okay and ucla texas a&m so you can see it's a lot harder if you're in an eight nine even in the first round you're not getting vcu and you're not getting uc you're getting teams that have some so i i just think this is huge the other thing is our fan base will lose it if we the first team out of the SEC tournament Absolutely The city of Nashville will lose it too The tourism board. Economy. Yeah. UK has not been kind to the tourism board of Nashville the last, what, six or seven years. They need a big blue wave to come down the street. It would be bad. It would also just be bad for morale. Yeah. It's amazing you read those names. It's a totally different game if we're a six-seater or a seven-seater. It totally flips. And it's a huge difference between six and seven. Yeah. It's a massive difference between that and eight and nine. Yes, it is. And you lose today, you're at eight and nine. If you lose tomorrow, you might be two, but you definitely are. Now, if you win them both, I think you can get to six because you've got to remember all these other teams are going to lose two. Right. Every team in a conference tournament, Billy, is going to lose to somebody. Right. Except four teams in the major conference. I mean, we're negative thinking if they were to lose, it's also a huge opportunity for this team. If they were to make the weekend, how we dictate success, this would be a big part of it. You beat Florida, you could go all the way up to like a five seed. Things would really change. If you beat Florida. So I think this is completely wide open. You know, the standings in the SEC were bunched. Yeah. And the standings in that five, six, seven, eight are bunched. Now, let's talk about just the actual team. cam williams it looks like uh is going to play he's listed as probable on the injury sheet that's good it looks like he's definitely going to try to give it a go you know i don't know probably not not a lot of minutes but just to have him out there he probably takes trent noah's minutes i mean isn't that essentially probably talking about yeah yeah helps with the fatigue that this team just has so many issues with i was thinking about fatigue we'll talk about it in the next i was thinking about fatigue while i was watching bam last night oh yeah you know how many points you think he would have had if he hadn't been fatigued got to the line 50 times last night all right i don't want to hear you complaining yet about this because i want to talk about it during the next segment because i think the complaints about bam or horse bleep it's not even a complaint i'm just telling you the stuff no i mean but but He went to line 41 times because he got fouled 41 times. He should have gone more. You just let him go and shoot free throws the entire game. Why not? First of all, he made 36 of 43. That's good. Pretty good. Really good. Miami was fouling, though. Like two minutes left in the game. I don't want to hear it because people need to have some sense of history. Go back and look what they did in the Kobe game. See, nobody has any sense of history. They just live in the moment, and then they get outraged and go, oh, it's a disgrace. Go look what they did with Kobe in that 81-point game. They checked him back in. Yeah. They had him shoot every time in the last five minutes. He was up 20. It was the worst team in the league they were playing. So I don't want to hear it. Well, nobody remembers 30 years from now how many free throws he shot. It's just going to be the number. The number's going to say Wilt Chamberlain won. Bam out of bio to Kobe Bryant three. Come on. He had not scored more than 40 points one time in two years. And he scores 83. I could have guessed a hundred NBA players. I mean, that is 80. Okay. I thought we were going to wait till the next segment. So 859-280-2287. We'll do more preview of this game. We'll talk about Bam some more. And then I made a huge mistake. I went into Costco. and I that was oh wow how'd you get in there get a card that's a whole nother thing you'd think you were going into Augusta National to try to get in well yeah all right so we'll talk about those are the those are the things I want to get to we'll be right back that's a great song yep I get on it I got on a rabbit hole you know TikTok is the worst for rabbit holes because you watch any video more than 20 seconds and they're just going to keep feeding it to you yep get in your algorithm And I had like a week of people just listening to Black Betty getting down. It's like, I've never heard this song. Let's watch it. And then they'll be like, oh, here we go. And then I enjoy it. And then I watch another one. So yesterday I got in the Gorillas. You remember Gorillas? Oh, yeah. They did Saturday Night Live Saturday. I don't know why, because I feel like they haven't had a song in 20 years. But that led to that Clint Eastwood song. and i ended up watching i don't know 75 different versions of it yesterday and now it's completely in my head gorilla's a good throwback though feel good it was good and i watched he would like play it places and then other people would come and and rap on it so like snoop dre m&m aren't they one of those bands that didn't like you couldn't see them live because they never showed their face like that well they did sometimes here's what i didn't know maybe you knew this shannon i didn't know that the gorillas guy was the lead singer of blur i don't think i knew that either no i didn't know that did you know that was the same guy no what was blur's song hey man nice shot no that's filter well what's blur the one that just went woohoo oh you're disrespecting me okay that's it well that's the same guy i had no idea i didn't either so there you go there's your fun fact of the day who knew some people are taking up for ryan sorry you're outvoted this is a mitch barnhart regime dictatorship rules garbage about the nudity they want more nudity well they're wrong you get like i'm speaking for the silent majority here save it for the pool party at matt's house uh 859-280-228 let's talk about bam here for a second 83 points for bam 83 points are you kidding me sensational it is unbelievable he had 40 43 at halftime and i thought okay maybe he gets to 60 and he just kept scoring and he kept scoring i mean this is a guy who had scored over 30 this year in only three games wow and he scores 83 he must have heard our conversation yesterday where i said how like isn't it surprising she's the best player of all time at kentucky and bam goes wait a minute hello hold my beer 83 his career high was 48 he scored 35 points more than his career high in one game that's is it that may be the most ludicrous thing i've ever heard in sports people will bring up the tony delt 50 point game yeah like nba heads will bring it up and go that was one of the weirdest things that ever happened in the nba what about this it's unbelievable 83 ryan all these great nba players and the name between And Kobe and Wilt Chamberlain is bam out of bio. Now, you don't like the 43 free throws. No, no, I'm fine with it. I was just pointing out that he got to the line a lot. He did. But for a guy who is more of a defensive specialist, that's pretty amazing. And just kept hitting threes. All right, now, are you good with the fact that at the end they were kind of fouling to get him the points? They only intentionally fouled one time, the Heat. Yeah. Are you okay with it? Yeah, I mean, I don't think they were doing it. like the entire quarter intentionally so i went back and looked at the game where kobe had 81 in the last five minutes the game he took every shot for the lake yeah every time every single shot and he missed a bunch too took every single shot including like he checked out up 27 with 40 seconds to go so he was he was he was doing this too then they didn't they put him back in well he was out because they were up like 30 and then with like four or five minutes to go they put him back in and he took every shot to end the game everybody knows what's going on at that time right how many points he has the the chase and trying to beat kobe or it looked like the wizards initially were fouling other people so he wouldn't get to go to the line which i thought shannon that would have been really no that would have been great i would have done that i mean if you're the team that you're playing against you don't want to be the team that you don't want to be the team That's true. Yeah, put anybody on the line but him. I think it is one of the most amazing random things in sports. Like, what else is up there for, are you kidding me, that guy? I mean, because Bam's really good, but not 83 points good. The electrician in the World Baseball Classic. The electrician's up there. Yeah, it is. One just a few years ago, Golki. Are you kidding me, that guy? Golki. That guy beat Kentucky? but in college basketball that'll happen sometimes but gulky the thing people forget about gulky he wasn't even a starter for oakland he was a bench player and he came in and did it in baseball sometimes you see it with like some random dude like hits who was the guy for the cardinals or the reds that hit four home runs in a game mark whitten hit four home runs but there was somebody even more random than that it was like scooter mcgee or something i don't know that one there was there was somebody really random that did it there was a willie mcgee yeah i know it was somebody even more random than him it might have been for the reds anyway you might get it sometimes with a perfect game yeah you'll have some no name guy no name guy that'll come out and do the braves yeah kent merker threw a perfect game i think back in the 90s okay kent merker's a perfect because there's only been what like 30 perfect games ever and kent merker has one yeah yeah the bigger guy for the Yankees the pitcher what was his name David Wells but he was really really good you're talking about the big fat guy yeah yeah I mean Bam's good too I'm not trying to act like Bam some I mean Bam's great he's all he's he's an all-star and he's been an Olympian so I mean he's great but if we ask you before the game to pick a former Calipari UK player he'd be like the seventh or eighth name you come up with said but if I were to have said yesterday a Kentucky player is going to score 83 give me who it'll be you would probably have you certainly said shea first then you probably would have said booker yeah then you might have said maxi or murray yes both those guys you would have put both of those guys ahead of them and maybe you go bam i think you might have even said carl yeah carl more of a three shooter bam was killing those three shots there yesterday he was checking in the first quarter that was what it was and now you go back and you think about that 2017 team and you think about who was on that team that team was so much fun to watch they got they got cheated they got cheated out of a title that team it's we lost in the elite eight but they were the second best team in the country yes they were and i do think north carolina was better but we were the second best team in the country and they were fun to watch they were fun that's the last year kentucky was dominant yes we have had in my opinion really four dominant teams in the modern era 2010 was dominant 2012 was dominant 2015 was dominant and 2017 those were the four teams of the cal era that were like i'd like to see the four of them play against each other right in in a seven game series put all those teams together i think it'd be fun to watch and fox monk and bam they not just won they would embarrass people they would run people That game against UCLA, where it was Lonzo Ball and De'Aaron Fox just toys with him. Awesome game. And they still pick Lonzo ahead of him, which ended up being a mistake. Yeah, it's that locker room scene from what I remember. Yeah, and then the locker room scene where they're crying. I mean, that's a great – I thought it was awesome to see his mom was there. Yes, she was. And he's a mama's boy. Remember those stories. 859-280-2287. We will take your calls and do some other stuff when we return. It's getting ready for Kentucky LSU. It's KSR. TJ Smith, personal injury attorney. Call TJ.

So good. 859-280-2287 Before we go to the phones, it was Scooter Ganette was the guy that hit four home runs. I'd forgotten that but I remember as soon as you said that, oh my goodness, yeah. I don't remember anything else he did in his entire career but that night. And a couple people We'll say that about Isaiah Briscoe having a triple-double. Because you'll have Chris Mills, what is it, De'Aaron Fox, and Isaiah Briscoe as the triple-doubles. And Scooter, not his legal name, his nickname, Matt, in case you were wondering. I wasn't. Do you know a Scooter? I do. I got a cousin named Scooter. Scooter Quillen lived next to me, lived next to my grandmother in in in middlesbrough scooter brawn wasn't that a name yeah scooter that's scooter mccray there's a lot of scooters i feel like there's not enough scooters good name for a kid right now when you get older might be weird to be a scooter yeah when you're a kid i think scooter sounds like a great name speaking speaking to real quick of baseball the u.s baseball team lost to italy saw that solo meal gotta be a pretty big upset i mean yeah huge they were down eight to nothing and they fought back caught it to eight to six now if mexico wins tonight i think the usa is out before before they even get a chance to play the big game wow that would be disappointing the manager for usa made a big mistake though did you see that no what do you do so they were down eight to nothing and everybody was like well they've got to score some runs here because i guess tiebreaker is margin or something like that and uh so the usa scored a bunch of runs made it eight to six and when it was over they interviewed the manager and he's like yeah i wish we'd won but thank goodness we scored those runs at the end now we're through and they're not through oh and the announcer shannon didn't know to correct him oh so the team was like well we're through we're good and then they got to the press conference and they were like you're not through that's awkward so now wow be a huge shame by the way for the networks yes if usa if like the game is like mexico versus korea they're gonna be like wait a minute we put this on prime time this was supposed to be usa dominican republic and then that becomes a meme of the manager saying they're through and then they don't say we're good we're through and no one corrected him so later they were like uh you're not through nobody did the math that's just their PR guy it'd be a pretty big error if the baseball team doesn't I mean we we literally invented the sport the huge upset that'll make it to the final round seems like the other countries care more though well Italy though I want to say Italy it's a little like these people aren't in Italy it's just people who are who have any Italian heritage get to play for them I don't think anyone on the team lives in italy well i just see the dominican republic games it looks like a party well no the dominican republic and japan and america now those teams are really good venezuela i think's really good but like the italian team is just a bunch of people named piazza shouldn't have lost them no they don't live in italy most of them maybe all of them maybe the united states were dealing with some fatigue and that's why they got down eight to nothing could be could be isaac go ahead isaac hey guys uh so i sent this text to you uh last time i don't know if you saw it but i think it's pretty fitting that bam scored 83 uh because eight minus three is five so i'm i'm feeling like the five and five is uh it's a sign a little bit of a stretch eight minus three is five but okay all right i'll take it no i just i feel i feel good um you know i wish i could go down to the game tonight or today but i think it'll be a good crowd i think they'll have some energy and hopefully we can win at least two but you know why not five why not what are the secondary prices now for the tickets um i mean what was it yesterday 59 for the yesterday it was 59 i'm gonna get i i be interested because i i'm fascinated about what the crowd's gonna be yeah ryan and i are gonna need some tickets to get in because we didn't get credentialed oh dude you got rejected and ryan got credentialed i knew ryan did i mean mario almost got credentialed or got rejected yeah And I don't think Mario and I are allowed on the floor. What? Just back in the media? What's going on? The SEC is like they've taken a lot of the media seats and sold them. Oh, really? So that's part of it. And then part of it is, you know, last year I got mad at them and, you know, I got mad at them for how they treated Mario. Oh, yeah. So Ryan and I are falling on the sword. Well, by the way, the cheapest ticket right now in stuff up is $8. Wow, there you go. There you go, Shannon. Yeah, let's get it. $8 for general admission, $14, $15. So a lot of – so, yeah, seats can be had. We won't be able to get our goal. You can get lower arena for $35. Which is great. So, honestly, if you're in Western Kentucky, why wouldn't you just get in your car right now? You can sit lower arena for $35. And see an SEC tournament game in Kentucky's plane. You can sit in row 10 behind the LSU bench for $117. That you could never. No, like how often can you get those prices? Never. Yeah, I mean, these are a lot of. I mean, look, this is a suite. You can get in a suite for $52. Well, we want to get our Golden Flakes chips and Dr. Pepper. So, first of all, tickets are available. but yeah so there there's gonna be a lot of empty seats yeah i would assume though to the extent there is a crowd that will all be kentucky fans there's not gonna be any lsu fans there right well i heard maggie davis on the leach report this morning she said last they were there last night tuesday night walk around and they only saw like just a couple kentucky fans on tuesday night so maybe they're all driving down this morning yeah the other game today is auburn mississippi state that's the second game auburn might have some people because that's not very far right mississippi state will have no one so well let's hope kentucky shows up and get some shots up before the game starts you can buy an all session pass how about this so this is for every game uh-huh let's guess what it is on the market what do you think the cheapest ticket shannon for every single game is right now oh god every game all five days i'm gonna say 150 oh well it's pretty cheap for every game i mean if you're like the worst 348 dollars but that's still insanely cheap they're usually a thousand or something if you if you tried to buy tickets to this all sessions in like 2017 it would have been 1200 yes easy and it i mean if kentucky makes a run you could resell those 348 dollars is You were telling me the get-in price was $8. So I thought, you know. But that's just for today. Oh. $348. That's, I will tell you, that is the cheapest I've ever seen in all session passed at the SEC tournament. And if you're just a basketball junkie, why wouldn't you do that? I mean, yeah, that's 15 games. Yeah. Pretty cheap. That's basically what? That's $25. Is that $25 a game? To watch SEC basketball tournament? That's kind of amazing. It is amazing. David, go ahead, David. Yeah we rolling into Nashville boys All right That what I like to hear Yeah I got hope and hope I think we got to give the man another year give him a chance to get him a GM in there. I definitely think it's a good idea. This is not 1980 anymore. We can't be running coaches off just because they don't have a 25-win season. You know what I'm saying? I mean, we're better than South Carolina, right? yeah is that the standard though we're now better than south carolina we are better than south carolina that's true well i mean we don't want to put ourselves into a ucla you know we're all of uh age enough to remember when ucla was considered a dynasty but uh you are beating heck out of coaches around here man and it's a i think we need to rally

people complain oh you're in a one-bid league the best team doesn't get to go that's okay because you still get cool stories that's right Hofstra think about this for a minute Hofstra has won their league three times in 35 years year one was 2000 Jay Wright was the coach and the star player was a guy named Speedy claxton 2020 they win but covid hits an assistant coach on the team was speedy claxton really but they don't get to go to the tournament and then last night they win and the head coach is a guy named speedy claxton and they get to go so the last time they've played was when speedy claxton played and now he got to take them as a coach very cool cool is very cool his interview last night he was crying he was like and he said something i thought was kind of funny he looks at his team and he goes i want a championship in high school college and the pros and he goes i don't talk to one person from my high school team or one person from my pro team but i talked to almost everyone from my college team wow which i thought was neat except wow why doesn't he talk to his people from his high school team i thought i don't know do you talk to anybody from high school you're bob dj trevor okay yeah yeah i got like four or five guys i still talk to from high school i feel like everybody talks to someone from high school don't they use the guys that sit at your lunch table those are the guys and then the pros what professional team was he on that won the title i don't know i remember the name i don't know what team he was on look that up mario and why don't why aren't they all friends they must they hated each other do you talk to people from high school shannon uh maybe like two or three yeah all right so i talked to three yeah you talk to people from high school five or six yeah but most people we talk to are from our college what about you three or four well without question the closest friends you make in life are in college yes because you go through this experience of being by yourself together grow up growing up so i do think college is if you go to college when you make the closest friends yeah spurs so like tim duncan he ain't talking to tim duncan david robson hangs up on tony parker's like palais vous who you m'appelle speedy mike go ahead mike mike all right no mike michael michael okay we got mike and michael's here Go for it. So, you guys have been talking about Stephen A. Smith a lot lately. I don't know if you realize or not, last week night on John Oliver, the dude's also brick on General Hospital and is a henchman for a mafioso. I did know he did a little General Hospital, Stephen A. Yeah, he's on there occasionally. He's been a recurring character for a long time, right? Stephen A. is one of those people that I'm like, hey, man, you should get a hobby. because he's on everything. He has a two-hour radio show every day. He has a podcast. He does the television. He's on the games. He's on General Hospital. I think his hobby is making money. I think his hobby is talking. It's also his job. You know. I mean, he's also, he's older than you think. Oh, yes. I was on the trivia in one night. He was on trivia. He's like Ryan's age. Mario got a picture with him. He didn't smile in that picture, though. I thought that picture, Mario was so excited to get a picture of Stephen A. Stephen A doesn't even crack a smile. He's too cool. He's just like, yeah. Mean mugging. It's like, dude, take yourself a little less seriously. Just a little. Farley. Go ahead, Farley. Hey, I want to comment on what you're doing to poor Ryan. Half of those people that are calling and complaining to you watched Magic Mike and 50 Ships Greg. I understand, but you have to understand, Ryan is not Channing Tatum. I mean, it's different. Listen, if you're going to make the rules, you have to look at both sides. And I'm telling you, those people are complaining. You like thinking of Ryan naked, sir? I do. You do? Okay. All right. Well, at least you're honest about it. All right. Fair enough. So you're one vote for more sexual Ryan content. I don't know about more, but I don't think you should get it. But you're good with the amount you're getting now. That's what you're saying. I think that's an appropriate amount. Okay. I like that you're comparing Ryan to Magic Mike. No, no, no, no. Not comparing Magic Mike, Ryan to Magic Mike. I'm saying the people that are complaining about that are watching Magic Mike. That's because they think Channing Tatum and then what was the woman, Dakota Johnson, they think of them probably in a slightly different way than they think of Ryan. Well, so they're being a prude about Ryan. Okay. But they're being so disquiet about Channing Tatum. I find that hypocritical. All right, fair enough. I appreciate the call. Was it always like this? I kind of like in my three or four people I have a crush on, I said Parker. is her name Dakota yeah I think so I think you said Dakota I said Dakota I she's in my three or four people I think it's the bangs bangs do it for you and she was on Amy Poehler's podcast and I just I found her delightful now who's Parker so she thought you said Parker who's Parker because that guy's name was Parker that's why I said okay Jared I got about 30 seconds go ahead sounds good guys I'm just coming down to Nashville we actually got here about 30 minutes ago and we're lined out outside right now. Oh, so are there people? Are there UK fans? Yes. All right, so you're getting there for the general admission, right? Yes, well, me and my dad actually got a book, but I haven't got to see courtside seats since I was in college a couple years ago, so I wanted to get some courtside seats as best as I could. Well, good. Well, enjoy yourself. We'll be right back. Hour two.
