I'm Amanda Knox, and in the new podcast Doubt, the case of Lucy Letby, we unpack the story of an unimaginable tragedy that gripped the UK in 2023. But what if we didn't get the whole story? I've just been made to fit. The moment you look at the whole picture, the case collapsed. What if the truth was disguised by a story we chose to believe? Oh my God, I think she might be innocent.

Now, here's Matt Jones. Welcome, everyone. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. Yo, I'm Matt Jones, and my voice is hanging on. Yeah. Hey, I'm being a trooper. Yes, you are. Trying to go. I'm not even really that sick, but I lost my voice. It's game day. You got to get going. And I learned my lesson a few years ago. Don't drink six gallons of water, Shannon, to try to make it happen. Yeah. And also, don't give all your topics to Ryan, because he'll blow through them in the first five minutes of the show. That's exactly right. The Clark's Puppet Shop phone line is 859-280-2287. an A-Vision auto glass text machine is 772-774-5254. And this edition is sponsored by the TJ Smith Law Office. You call TJ, I'll make them pay. I'll do as much of this show as I can. And then if I can't, I can hand it to you guys and you'll be good. Right? You don't feel bad, it just sounds bad. I don't really feel bad, but I lost my voice. I couldn't even talk last night. This is actually an improvement. Yeah. I don't know what it was. Well, it's that time of year. My mom always used to say, the croup and the crud kind of gets in your chest and your lungs and your sinuses and just kind of stays there. Yeah. I don't know if that's it. I just don't have a voice. So this happens to me about once a year. When you talk as much as I do, Drew, at some point, your voice says, all right, I need a break. So I'm taking a break this evening, but I thought I would try to get through this show. Yeah, such an exciting time playing South Carolina. They're one of the teams in the conference. Can't miss a show like this. Four games left. This is our second to last Tuesday of the season. An important game. Very important. Very important. Could lose four in a row. We haven't done that in like a billion years. And like to make the tournament a big game. I mean, I think if they win this game, they're in the tournament. But if they don't. It's on the table that they're not going to make it. Yeah. I mean it's it's that they might still make it even if they lose but I think if you were to let's say go into the tournament with seven straight losses oh you think the NCAA is going to be not gonna look favorable you think they're going to want to reward that no not at all they say they don't consider the recency bias there but they would and we just wouldn't have not that we're just loaded with excitement and optimism as it is I mean how could we even get up off the mat if We lost seven in a row going into March. Are you worried about this game? I'm worried about every game, to be honest. Me too. That's how I am too. That's what stinks. This used to be like you wake up and you're like, all right, let's go kick their teeth in and have a fun night. Now, even as a seven point favorite, you're kind of like, oh, this could go wrong. Yeah. Like you got your guard up at all times, which is new for Kentucky fans. Yeah. I mean, it's an interesting question. Have you had any game this year in the SEC that you've come into 100% confident we were going to win? In the SEC? Probably the answer is no. I thought this might be the game until South Carolina put 97 on Mississippi State on Saturday. Probably the only one I was like that for was Mississippi State at home, and then they got up a dozen in the first half. That was supposed to be the easiest game in the home game. Yeah, I don't think – I mean, I remember Ole Miss specifically. You were nervous about that game. I was very nervous about that game. And, you know, they played as close for some of it. I felt good about Auburn. It's the first time I've bet the U.K. money line in a while. That didn't work out for me as we know. This one tonight, I mean, they should win, but it's just in the back of your mind how bad it would look if they don't. Yeah, well, the game is at 7 o'clock. Pre-game show will be at 4.30. Kentucky is a five-and-a-half point favorite. Kind of a small number, but – It's jumped. What is it now? Seven and a half. Okay. Yeah. That feels more right to me. So maybe some people got the early Kentucky pull. Because, I mean, South Carolina, who have they beaten in conference? They beat Mississippi State. They only got three wins. I think Oklahoma. Also bad. And LSU, they beat the three bad teams. So they haven't beaten anybody good, which is all the more reason we have to win. I mean, if you were to say who are the four worst teams in the conference, those would be the four, and that's who they've beaten. You know, we went down to LSU, thought that was going to be a road win, took a last-second shot from Malachi to get that one. I just think this one also kind of smells of a trap game. It's not. There's no trap. We're down. Trap is when you win three or four. There's not a trap. There's no reverse trap? It's not a trap when you are on a three-game losing streak. It is a you've got to win. And any team in the conference that has a pulse has destroyed South Carolina. When they lose, they lose big. Florida almost beat them by 50. I know Kentucky's not Florida, but South Carolina has some horrible losses. A lot of 10 to 15 points in the SEC games they couldn't win. So they're fortunate to have three wins against the very bottom of the standings, but any team that's decent has put it on them pretty good. 859-280-2287. Text machine is 772-774-5254. All right, so Cat's got to win. I'm nervous about it, but I still feel relatively optimistic. Yesterday during this show, we did a poll where I said pro or con Mark Pope's postgame about the refs. And during the show, I think I said it was like 60-40 pro. That probably moved a little bit, and I would say it was like 50-50 in the end. Was it? Maybe 55-45 pro in the end, which was interesting to me because most of the reaction online was con, but I think there were a lot of people who liked it. Now going forward, he made some strong comments about the officials, etc. Do you think it has any resonating impact? That's clearly the message he had behind the scenes because we heard the players mention it posted on instagram you know i wish you know he would also focus on a lot of their flaws in the game but maybe that attitude of we got hosed on the road and now you're going right back on the road they've got a little anger and really felt they got cheated and we'll use that as motivation tonight overall though but what about with the officials i don't i don't think they do that i think it'll impact with i think the team will use it as fuel but overall i still think that's just putting a band-aid on Kentucky's bigger issues here. Talking about officials, officials don't try to cheat the other team. They make bad calls. You don't think there's any way in which certain officials have biases towards certain teams, individuals, coaches, players. You don't think that's possible? I think there's definitely some bias, but that guy is not going to make that call just to try to get Kentucky to win. He just made a bad call. You mean try to get Auburn to win? Yeah. I just think he made a bad call in that situation. Yeah. I think that exists places. I don't think that will linger from Auburn to this. I mean, if anything, the refs are like, this is Kentucky out South Carolina playing for Wednesday conversations here. Sitting carrying a lot of weight for the conference overall. So I don't know how much bad blood will be on their side. Well, that led to a conversation when we talked about that yesterday. You remember the one guy wrote, I think his name was Jonathan, and said that it was KSR's fault that there were bad calls, which has continued the theme of about three years that there are people who blame KSR for stuff. But then we actually got Shannon yesterday some blame for something non-basketball related. Oh, really? Which was our conversation about gout and shingles. That's our fault that people have gout and shingles? No, not our fault that they have them. I don't have gout. But how we discussed it. Oh. So I think it's worth noting because some people wrote me actually really nice criticisms. Not like you stinking liberal, you and your commie friends should move to Massachusetts. Not that kind of stuff. But like, Matt, I love you, but think about this. And their general theme was when you all talk about stuff, you should know what you're talking about. And so these people were like, you were asking if shingles was contagious. You should know before you talk about it. Well, I just want to explain for a second the premise of this show. All right. I don't know about you all, but I kind of hate radio TV shows where the host acts like they know everything. I get accused of that sometimes, but I don't really think that's fair because I don't even know how to like change my oil or change an airfield. Or hang a picture. Or hang a picture. Like literally, I don't know any of that. And I acknowledge that. But one of the things I've learned is that when you have a show, when you don't know something, this audience collectively knows a lot. Yes. Right? Almost anything we talk about, there are going to be experts out there. So if I throw out a topic and we don't know, right, and we talk about what we don't know, inevitably someone writes in and explains what it is. Has the answer. Right. Happens all the time. And I think that's good. Yes. I think that's good radio. So on the shingles and gout conversation, I said what I think is objectively true. Those are words that sound icky. Very icky. But they're diseases that people may have. And I genuinely did not know what they are. Right. We had an open forum about open discussion. So we got a bunch of conversations. One of the things I learned, Drew, I didn't realize how many people I knew have had shingles. Okay. People you knew. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And people you, I'm not going to. I saw one in three people will eventually deal with it, according to the internet. One in three people will have shingles? Yep. That means one of us is going to get it. Maybe not a full-blown case. One of us is going to have shingles. No, if you throw the five of us and Billy in, two of us are going to have it. Not in. Who's most likely to have it? Ryan, without question. I'm probably the leading candidate. I will say he's older, though, and has already passed. He's got a few years where he hadn't had it yet, past 50, when it really starts ramping up. Can drinking do a lot of calories Oh it doesn start It does but you more likely as you get older And Ryan older so he already you know he he beaten it a few years already drink frappuccino every morning does that give you like more yeah just for the record i got to see ryan breakfast this morning shannon thousand calories at least i feel like there's some gout mixed in there somewhere oh no you should see he got a chocolate croissant for breakfast yes delicious for ryan chocolate croissant What about that as breakfast? Breakfast of champions right there. Got you started on the right day. And that's pure sugar you're drinking. Just chai and soy milk. You didn't put your sugar in it? No. Is that chai sugar-free? Probably not. But I don't think it has as many calories as you think it does. According to Google, sugar causes gout flare-ups. That's why I don't have it. I cut back on my sugar. So we would say Ryan is most likely. Probably so. Leading candidate. He probably has it right now and doesn't even know it. Let's see. That's a venti. The regular size has 42 grams of sugar, so a little more than 60 to 70 grams of sugar. And then your chocolate croissant. Probably sugar-free. The old sugar-free chocolate croissant. And it is a Tuesday. I don't know if the calendar matters, but that's one of the days you try to really. Most people don't see Tuesday as the day they really pack sugar on. Weekends get a little out of control. In the early week, you try to get back on track before you lose it again. Well, anyway, my point was, in having that conversation, I think the audience went and learned more about. I did. I did, too. The gout of Wednesday. I was shocked how many people wrote me and said they had had shingles. Yes. And now I know it's more common. So my point about the shingles and the gout is just to say, there were people like writing me many of which were nice saying you know you all need to not discuss things you don't know if we do that shannon there's no show we'll just sit in silence and look at each other for two hours you'll just be listening to me recite the law yeah nobody wants that that's one thing i love about this show we're just like four guys sitting around a table just discussing whatever comes up that day we were just discussing it and also just so i'm When I put something on the sheet, I know that some of the time it's going to make Ryan look stupid. And some of the time it might make Shannon angry. Or it might make me look stupid because I can't do basic things. That's the entertainment. That's why we're doing it. So there's no reason to get upset about it. That's why we're doing it. And now we know that Tyrese Halliburton has shingles. Yeah. We know I didn't realize how many people had gout. And we also know that you can look up and learn more about it and try to keep it from it. One in three people having shingles. It's a lot. It's a lot. According to the internet, which doesn't tell us. I always tell people because we do zero show prep. I mean, a lot of times it's like you do. I do show prep. No, but I mean, like we don't sit down as a group and plan the show. No, we each do our individual stay on topics. I mean, we don't sit down and talk about the show. I always say sometimes it's like a game show when you take something that's not an obvious topic and I don't even know, you know, you throw out something. We're live on the air. We got to react. That's the goal. So anyway, so if I if we if we upset you about one of those, I promise it's not intentional. It's just how we kind of imagine getting upset over gout. Oh, there's not a topic we can discuss that someone is not mad at me about. You're liberal. Stinking liberal. Thank you. We'll take a break. We'll be right back. It's KSI. What if mind control is real? If you could control the behavior of anybody around you, what kind of life would you have? Can you hypnotically persuade someone to buy a car? When you look at your car, you're going to become overwhelmed with such good feelings. Can you hypnotize someone into sleeping with you? I gave her some suggestions to be sexually aroused. Can you get someone to join your cult? NLP was used on me to access my subconscious. NLP, a.k.a. Neuro Linguistic Programming, is a blend of hypnosis, linguistics, and psychology. Fans say it's like finally getting a user manual for your brain. It's about engineering consciousness. Mind Games is the story of NLP. It's crazy cast of disciples and the fake doctor who invented it at a new age commune and sold it to guys in suits. He stood trial for murder and got acquitted. The biggest mind game of all? NLP might actually work. This is wild. Listen to Mind Games on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Each episode, I sit down with people from all walks of life, celebrities, thinkers, and everyday folks, and we go deeper than the polished story. We talk about what drives us, what shapes us, and what gives us hope. We get honest about the big stuff. Identity when you don't recognize yourself anymore. Loss that changes you.

China's Ministry of State Security is one of the most mysterious and powerful spy agencies in the world. But in 2017, the FBI got inside. This is Special Agent Regal, Special Agent Bradley Hall. This MSS officer has no idea the U.S. government is on to him. But the FBI has his chats, texts, emails, even his personal diary. Hear how they got it on the Sixth Bureau podcast. I now have several terabytes of an MSS officer, no doubt, no question, of his life. And that's a unicorn. No one had ever seen anything like that. It was unbelievable. This is a story of the inner workings of the MSS and how one man's ambition and mistakes opened its vault of secrets. Listen to The Sixth Bureau on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In 2023, a story gripped the UK, evoking horror and disbelief. The nurse who should have been in charge of caring for tiny babies is now the most prolific child killer in modern British history. Everyone thought they knew how it ended. A verdict, a villain, a nurse named Lucy Letby. Lucy Letby has been found guilty. But what if we didn't get the whole story? The moment you look at the whole picture, the case collapses. I'm Amanda Knox, and in the new podcast, Doubt, the case of Lucy Letby, we follow the evidence and hear from the people that lived it to ask what really happened when the world decided who Lucy Letby was. No voicing of any skepticism or doubt. It'll cause so much harm at every single level if the British establishment of this is wrong. Listen to Doubt, The Case of Lucy Letby on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. That's the only way people are, Shannon, know. I never even heard of gout until this song. Yes. But this is an excellent song. When's the last time a comedy album? Everyone our age had this album, right? Did you have it, Shannon? I didn't have it, but I was well aware of it, but I didn't have it. Well, I felt like everyone but Shannon had it. Do they still do those? Do they still put out comedy albums? Or is it all like Netflix specials now? Yeah, I feel like it's all Netflix stuff. And probably streaming, it's a little bit different. you know it's not the same versus having a physical copy of a cd yeah yeah i guess that doesn't happen as much anyway one person writes matt it's nice of you to do a tribute show today to robert f kennedy jr with your voice that's not very nice did you see his workout video of kid rock most ridiculous video in in an administration that can that every day does something weird the workout video of kid rock in rfk is top three i didn't know you're supposed to wear blue jeans when you work out i've been doing it wrong all these years how about he jumped into a cold plunge in blue jeans who wore blue jeans robert kennedy have you not seen this have you not seen this video they're like in a cave you know doing a workout they're doing a workout milk together it's robert kennedy is clearly like he's buff oh yeah but kid rock's not no i'm kid rock i leave my shirt on with robert kennedy they both had their shirts off and so robert kennedy has his shirt off in jeans and working out and then he does a cold plunge in the jeans At one point, they're in the sauna. They bring the exercise bike in the sauna. One of them's planking. One of them's on the bike. I mean, it was very chaos. Was that heated rivalry, the TV show? It was very homoerotic in the way that they did it. It was very strange, didn't you think? I actually thought it was fake for the longest time because I couldn't believe that they would put that out there. I'm looking real closely to see if the AI messes up at any point. Then, nope, I just surrendered to the fact that it was real. Working out in jeans. When I go to a gym, which granted doesn't happen a lot, when I see somebody working out in jeans, my thought is that person might murder someone. If you work out in jeans. The one they chugged the milk was really bizarre, too. Yeah. Yeah, they did. They chugged milk. Like, if you want to have some whole milk, I might have a glass. It was weird. They were like chugging it in the pool. I'm with you, Shannon. That was one of those like, whoa. Why did they do this? I don't know. Maha. Maha. Make America jeans again Jerry go ahead Jerry Hey Matt You know yesterday you guys were talking about People not being able to get into Canada And one of the things I used to do I worked for the airlines and operations Is I had to go over the Canada list every night With all the crew members that couldn't go to Canada And make sure they didn't have somebody Ineligible going to Canada And that's the real deal Somebody told me they will not let you go to Canada If you've had a DUI Is that correct? Yeah, DUI. That's amazing. I don't know how many people listening to us right now who probably at some point in their life had a DUI, which is awful. But people make mistakes. I don't know if they know they can't ever go to Canada. But from what I understand, unless you get an exception, you can't go. It's called rehabilitation. and you've got to pay for an Canadian attorney. It's about $5,000, and then you pay a fee anywhere from $280 to $1,200 based on the crime. But the funniest crime I ever heard of that somebody could go to Canada for was we had this one flight attendant who was a real rebel back in her college days at Berkeley in the 60s who got arrested for indecent exposure at a protest, and they wouldn't let her into Canada for that. Wow. Well, thank you, Jerry. I appreciate it. I mean, I didn't realize Canada could be like that. I mean, I got detained at the Canadian board. Yes, you did. um they're all so well behaved there everybody in canada they never had a dui detained for laughing at a fart they don't play i mean that's not a joke it's true drew was there yeah that's i got yelled at for two and a half hours by a canadian mountie mounties fart too apparently not not at the point don't do it at the border what we've talked about that before but drew that was a crazy couple hours they're strict yeah they do that for a fart i believe the dui thing yeah imagine you're it's been many many years you're taking your family to see niagara falls you just have no idea you get to the border they're like oh 1994 out shows you did this uh honey why can't we go to canada dad well your mom exposed her breast in 1997 and so you're not gonna be going turning around and going home that's right joey go ahead joy hey man how y'all doing doing good uh i was just calling in man uh i was gonna say i've had shingles and it's horrible it's absolutely miserable that's what i've heard um anyways i like pope dude but do you think at the end of this season he's gonna have to let some assistance go and hurt some feelings i mean obviously it's not working out great for him and i get the injuries and everything but i mean yeah you know somebody asked that on the post game show and i I appreciate the call about, you know, sometimes when things haven't gone great, people want to change the staff. In football, that's something that always happens. People want to change the offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator. My problem, Drew, is I don't know what on this staff, what these guys do. I know Cody Feger is big on game plan I think Michael McClain is too But I don know what they all do So I don have strong feelings about the staff because I not really sure what each of their job responsibilities is I'm kind of the same way. We don't really get any access. Don't see a practice. I don't really talk to anyone. We know something needs to be corrected in the game planning and how they get these starts. But as far as they need to make changes, I wouldn't know who to even point a finger at because I don't know what each of their assignments are. I mean, the change needs to be a GM. That's the change. First change. And if he does not get a GM, he and Mitch deserve a ton of criticism. I tend to think they will, but I think if they're going to do it, it's got to be in the next couple weeks. You know, we had heard there was this job posting. It's now not online anymore. Does that mean they've hired somebody? I don't know. you know or does that mean they decided not to hire someone i don't know or promote one of their point have a job posting online but i don't know what became of that so well even though the portal is not really till april in two weeks the regular season ends and that's when people are really having a lot of conversations maybe it's not official i'm in the portal but people know at the end of the regular season what their intentions are at least whether they want to leave or look somewhere else yeah i mean i feel like they have to they for me they have to more than anything else to get a different voice in the room because it's clear what they're doing is not working yeah in recruiting so even if you end up just having a different voice that's outside of his circle i feel like that would be positive very positive yeah 859-280-2287 we'll take a break break back ksr tj smith personal injury attorney call tj he'll make them pay now more of kentucky sports radio presented by stockton mortgage here's matt jones it wasn't just that he was wearing jeans it was also jeans with a shirt off yeah we had to show his physique well he's gotta i mean how old is he like is he like 70 yeah i mean he's he's in amazing shape to be 70 years old yeah um maybe i need to start drinking more milk working out in the sauna i'd rather be unhealthy i do like saunas though you ever spend any time in a sauna i hate it why i can't breathe in there you don't well i mean but you don't feel better at the end like you've sweated out all the toxins i've not stayed in long enough to sweat out any toxins i can't breathe i get out of there i don't like it not at all with my asthma and stuff i can't do it can't do it can't do it what what what health like what sort of healthy things do you like to do uh to do yoga tv did a lot of yoga yeah have you done yoga well she's tried to get me to do some do you like it i can't hardly i'm so stiff it's hard but that's why you do yoga i know is it over time it'll get better like when i started doing it a few years ago i could barely do anything and then like a year later the woman was like look at how much better you are now that You could see it. Oh, yeah. I mean, she had a video of my first day and then she'll be. She planned it for you. I'd love to see that video. Oh, the first day, that was when I was in the worst shape of my life, and I was like, I look like a beached whale trying to do it. But then I got a lot. I haven't done it recently. I got to get back to it. But, yeah, so you don't like yoga. Do you like lifting weights? Oh, no. Definitely not. Running? No. Walking? I walk the dogs in the spring and the summer some. But that's just like to use the bathroom. That's not exercise. We make a little loop. You need to get serious about it, though. I mean, really, when you get older, you need to start doing something. Yeah, I mean, the flexibility is – I mean, like they have studies that say one of the biggest things that determines life expectancy is your flexibility. Because the more flexible you are, the more likely you are to keep moving and to keep doing things. And if you become inflexible and it starts to hurt to move, then you will do it less. which will, of course, hurt you. Yeah. I guess I probably should have known this, but after a yoga thing one time, the next day I couldn't believe how sore I was. But that's the point. Yeah. And then you do it the next time, and it won't be as bad. I hope. And you can find, like, I mean, it's probably not as big a deal for you, but I find it peaceful. You, like, distract. Like, you're not on your phone, and there's no outside. I mean, you can just stare out into space. That's one thing you are good at. You and Perrin, did you do goat yoga or something one time, or hot yoga? No, it wasn't goat yoga. It was hot yoga. very different goat yoga is goats crawling on you i don't even get that drew to me that seems like the stupidest thing in the world it's very popular i don't know if we have it in lexington but i've seen it in nashville nashville did you guys bet kansas like i told you 100 yes i did thank you very much uh i think shannon and drew picked houston yeah i was on the coogs what now it feels like Shannon I've been saying for a year and a half yeah don't bet against Bill Self Kansas Monday night home and it felt like yesterday that became a thing you heard it everywhere yep had a big graphic they popped up during the game have you ever seen that before that was just my internal thought I didn't realize it was a whole thing Shannon well I should have been betting it I would have won a lot of money oh and it was over quick like Houston got up like 11-3 and then Kansas just blew them out. Yeah. They're up 20. They're 41-0. 41-0 now on Big Monday. Under Bill. They have not lost on Monday night at home since 2001. And they play three or four games a year on Monday night at home. They haven't lost, Drew, since 2001. I think they're abusing the system here. We've got to stop this. They've figured out that teams just cannot turn around from a Saturday game, get to Lawrence, and be ready. they already have the whistle and the crowd adding that travel aspect is just too much to overcome and it needs to be stopped they shouldn't be allowed to do more houston i'd be really upset about that schedule yes because they played at arizona on saturday and then had to play at kansas on monday well there's only they were at iowa state that that feels unfair doesn't it yeah iowa state arizona kansas back to back to back on the road on the road do teams ever just have if they're on a road swing just have to go straight to lawrence from wherever they were that's gotta happen occasionally but that seemed i mean i'm that's unfair to make them play at arizona and at kansas which even at the beginning of the year they had to know that was would be like their two hardest games at arizona game may have been in houston okay but then that's less unfair the point still stands though you gotta you know shut off from a saturday potentially a late night game and the very next morning you're off to lawrence to go get cheated by referees the fog cheated i made the mistake of betting on kansas on a saturday instead of a monday oh no it's eight and a half they only play well on monday by the way ksr parlay saturday half point from hitting and it was a bs it was the alabama lsu alabama was up nine lsu got a meaningless layup at the buzzer and it was a seven and a half point spread and they won by seven also remember the same game UK parlay I cooked up that they didn't use would have won another winner that's Kentucky covering the three and a half Chandler 10 points and the under wow that's crazy Chandler did cut it feels like Chandler played awful and he still had 10 points yeah Lou go ahead Lou yeah Matt um long time listener up in Indiana I'm a UK alum I followed uk basketball for a long time can you hear me okay yes okay um just a couple comments i'm really losing um i'm not alone i'm sure i'm kind of losing interest in the current state of uk basketball um a couple comments in regards to that i was thinking the other day as a long time listener as a listener and a fan, I'm not sure which would be a worse ending for UK basketball this year if they don't make the tournament, the NCAA tournament. If they don't make the NCAA tournament or if they get in the tournament and they lose the first game. No, they got to make it. There's nothing better about missing the tournament. I mean, what good's going to happen from missing the tournament? I mean, we've only missed the tournament historically like three times in 50 years. So, I mean, adding a fourth year to that is not – I mean, I can see you saying, well, if we lose in the first round, I mean, what did we really get? Well, my answer would be we got another NCAA tournament because I have ingrained in my head the years we didn't make the tournament. And if you think about it, two of the three years we didn't make the tournament, one was the COVID year one was the year we were going on probation right so you're really the year the New Orleans and one we had a devastating injury with New Orleans so this would be the first year that we wouldn't have made the tournament with literally like no excuse I mean I guess we have a couple smaller injuries but so I want to make the tournament and a preseason top 10 ranking too yeah I mean I want to make the tournament right Well, yeah, I mean, I do too. I'm just saying from a feeling standpoint as a fan, is it going to feel worse, any worse to like get in the tournament? I think though the thing is if we get to the tournament, and I appreciate the call, sir. Thanks for listening. If we get to the tournament, Drew, I think we can win a game or two. Like I don't think it's crazy if we're a 10 seed that we could beat the seven and give the two a game, right? No. That's all we want is something to look forward to. I mean, I do think this is a team that has the ability to punch up and beat a team that's better than them. We also could play the 7-10 game and lose by 15. Yeah. They could lose tonight at South Carolina and then come back and beat Vandy or Florida at home. You're exactly right. They could lose tonight at South Carolina and then come and win Saturday at home. Yep, against a Vandy team that smoked them last time. That could happen. Will, go ahead, Will. Hey guys, thank you for taking my call I got your props to Shannon He is the man I think I had to call him four separate times Because I was having phone issues So I appreciate you, Shannon I was just going to say One thing I did want to comment on You guys were talking about a few minutes ago I have been denied entry from Canada They are very picky on who they're going to win Yeah So I had, I believe at that time I think all I had was maybe a shoplifting on my record. And my car was not in the best shape, but they denied me because they said I would break down and they didn't want me trapped in their country. What do you know? I broke down. That's a bad car. That's a bad car when they say, we're worried you will break down in our country. That is a bad car, sir. Yeah, well, I've had plenty of them. I actually have one that's been in the shop for about 13 months. So, you know, that's my luck. Anyway, I just wanted to call in and say something about this game. I think the Cats are going to win, but I don't know if we cover. Six and a half is a lot of points. I think we're going to win probably close. And I also just want to say one thing. Okay, that's two things. You don't get to keep adding things. All right? That's two things. And it ties everything in to my last call. So I believe Auburn and South Carolina are slowly becoming bigger rivals in basketball. Auburn has beaten us an NCAA tournament. I appreciate the call. South Carolina is not a rival in basketball. It's not. No. Name your most wonderful South Carolina basketball memory. It's actually sad how close they've played us lately, but that doesn't make it a rivalry. They've won more than they should. What is our biggest win over South? I remember losing some games to South Carolina. Yeah, that's the thing. We don't even think about the wins because it's expected. The only game I can remember that was a good win against South Carolina was on the road when Cal got kicked out at the very beginning of the game and Tyler Uless and Kenny Payne coached and we won. And Tyler Uless threw a lob off the glass for Marcus Lee to stuff it. And after the game, he was like, I would not have done that if Cal had been sitting on the bench. That's the only real South Carolina game I could even remember that we won. maybe other people can remember others.

One person writes, Matt, what do you think about the women's team, hockey team, not going to the White House? Well, you know, I've always been consistent on this. I would go to the White House either way. But I also understand why the women's team's not by what he said in the locker room where he was like, said to the men's team. Well, he didn't call the women's team when they won. and then the men's team he said like well i guess i have to invite the women too so i can see why they'd be like i don't want to go i don't blame the men's team for going there's people saying they shouldn't go in solidarity with the women they ought to go i mean a lot of these dudes this is their like best moment of their life so i'm fine with them going i would i would go if i was on the men's team but i understand why the women wouldn't want to after uh after he kind of made that remark so yeah i can see why they're standing up for the rights if he treated it that way yeah i mean he was just he was trying to be funny but when he didn't call them and they won first and they won first and then you say like oh i guess i gotta invite the women's team i can see why they'd be like well we don't have to go i would go if i were them but i understand why they wouldn't yeah whoever's in office i don't see the teams whether super bowl ncw whatever i don't see that as a any political endorsement or anything that's just part of you winning something big in america you get the white house trip yeah um shannon i hate to tell you this but uh fazoli's no no no no are you sitting down the two longest open fazoli's in lexington are both closing the richmond road which was the original was that the original that was the original that's where greg punk gorm was the first ever breadstick boy you always throw that in uh part of history It is.

And then secondly, given Pope's apparent dissatisfaction with NIL and the current recruiting environment, do you think it might be possible that he might decide to leave to go after an NBA job, or he can just focus solely on coaching and player development? No to the second one. I don't think he would get an NBA job, even if he did. on the first one yeah I'm concerned about it let's see what happens that's my view you know see what happens I think you have to be concerned the way it's played out you have to be concerned but let's see what happens I mean I think appreciate the call this is the this transfer portal season to me is the ultimate test of can mark pope recruit in this new environment remember this is the first official complete rev share yeah right so let's take a step back the portal's been open for a few years and nil's been a few years but before you could just sort of blank check it and you could get one donor to write a check now this is the year where getting real nil deals and having companies on board and all of this this is the first year that really matters this year with this high school class and this transfer portal we've already struck out on the high school class and it has been at best awful yeah we have zero people and at worst a complete disaster all right now here comes the portal people who want to defend what's happened so far will go look we're focused on the portal i don't believe that because they tried to recruit these people but nevertheless now you get the judgment can Kentucky and Mark Pope recruit in the rev share era that's the million dollar question they haven't proved it yet and this is the first test and we have failed step one high school kids so now it's transfer portal and if we get to June and we miss all our top targets again well then the question's been answered yes and it's just who deserves the blame which we'll have to wait and see but yes april and may for me is huge about the future of kentucky basketball we'll take a break this is special agent regal special agent bradley hall in 2018 the fbi took down a ring of spies working for china's ministry of state security one of the most mysterious intelligence agencies in the world.
