Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal, but encouraged. It's the Enhanced Games. Some call it grotesque, others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year.
Within probably 10 days, I put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth.

Brett Setzer, who, of course, wrote the letter about the Barnhart thing, he sent us, he has had made with the Power K knucklehead shirts.
And then, if you're going to take a picture, Mario, and then the old school UK logo sweatshirt. That's from a different guy. Oh, well, whatever. They're both great, and I actually really like it. Look at this hat and hoodie. I'm a big fan. The Power K knucklehead hat snapback is awesome, and then the old school logo on the hoodies is perfect.
I don't know if Brett's going to get a cease and desist on this Power K, but nevertheless, this is quite a gift, so I like both of those. I will probably wear both of those at some point. Yeah, Christmas morning when you came in here on Thurby. That's your gift for Thurby today. Yeah, so today is Thurby. Thurby. Are you excited about Thurby?

Chapter 4: What recent news about David Allen Coe is discussed?
I'm going to try to have UT Big Hair on here tomorrow. Oh, yeah. He's never gotten one right.
Not one. Kentucky Joe does a better job than Kentucky Big Hair.
UT Big Hair. Okay? Yeah, he's not done a good job. I ā Seven of the last nine derbies hit the try, which has got to be a record. Nobody else in the country. Do you have your derby picks already? I haven't looked at it. I'm going to spend some time tonight kind of going through it. My official ones I won't release until that afternoon because you've got to get the buzz.
Is the time coming that the derby is also going to move tonight on Saturday? Just my guess, this is a test to get ready for that. My guess is they're going to see how this goes with the Oaks, and then eventually I think ā It was interesting. I saw a lot of TV executives talking about what were the best times if you just want to maximize audience, the best times to have events.
And they said that they have determined ā would you like to ā you two guess. Day of the week and time. that gets the highest audience for a sporting event. Wow. What do you all think? Day of the week. So new TV executives were like, if I could pick the day of the week and the time that I would want a sporting event to run, I would choose this. I would say Saturday.
No, I'm going to say Sunday at 8 o'clock. Sunday at 8 o'clock. What about you, Shane?
Saturday at 7.30.
That would have been my thought, Saturday primetime. Sunday, 5.30, 5 o'clock, something like that. They say more people are watching a major sporting event. And if you think about it, think about all the stuff that plays there. Usually the biggest NCAA tournament game is during that time, you know, in the Elite Eight or whatever. NFL games. Of course.
Usually the big NFL game of the day is at that time. Golf tournaments end at that time. Wrapping up. Right? Yeah. So they say that that's when ā now, that's not going to happen with the Derby, but people think everything needs to be at like 8, 9. Really, they like that slot where ā It's not too late for the West Coast. Night's just starting. And on a Sunday night, nobody's out doing stuff.

Chapter 5: How do the hosts feel about the name 'Thurby'?
They've been in it every year. They've been in it so long. They have a spinoff team.
They do?
Yeah, they have Betty Boop, too. There were a bunch of, like, college-age teams. It's a lot of fun. So, anyway, you still got ksrbowling.com if you want to join. Because you get one week that you could miss, I think. I got you. So you could have missed the first one and joined. Very good. So 859-280-2287. So let's talk a little basketball here for a second.
All right, so everybody's been, including me yesterday, I'm not going to act like I'm above it. We've all been kind of like, ugh, with this recruiting cycle. But we are. Like, we are getting players, and this is going to be our team next year.
Right.
So we need to learn about these guys and, you know, celebrate what we do have. I still think we need a couple guys. I think it's actually very important we get a couple guys or we're going to be not great. But the guys we have, you know, we need to learn. So we didn't get to talk a lot about yesterday. We got Justin McBride from James Madison. That was the guy you eyeballed. The googly eyes. 6'8".
Could shoot a little bit from outside. Was a pretty good player for James Madison. Probably will fight with the NJ kid to start, I would say. I don't know which one of them will win that fight. What do you think of that guy? Was it Oklahoma State, I know, for a year? Yeah, there was a game where ā Brandon Garrison and McBride played against O-Way in an Oklahoma-Oklahoma State game.
I didn't know that little connection. Isn't that interesting?
But this guy, yeah, he shot 41% from threes last year as a 6'8", 6'9", guy. Kind of a big-butt, bruiser-type guy. Kind of the Muhammad Diabate role.

Chapter 6: What are the latest updates on UK basketball recruiting?
Poor guy.
What a random world. But beyond all that, a lot of fans were like, well, why didn't we hire John Wall?
Yep.
I would love to have John Wall as part of Kentucky's staff in some role.
Yeah.
I think he would be great. I would not want him to be the director of basketball operations. What I would love him to be, though, is in some symbolic form of the staff to where he's doing something. I wouldn't want him to be the GM. Correct. I don't think that's his skill set to go negotiate contracts.
But to go do something where you are, and a lot of schools have this, some sort of player outreach role, I actually think would be really good. I think it's a great gift for Howard and good for John. I think John, I've really been impressed with John's post-basketball career and what he's been able to do.
I think he would be perfect in that outreach-type role. Like Derek Anderson said, he does that kind of for the NBA. I think John could do that.
I think John would be great. I think he would too. Because the players, guys in the NBA and even guys in college, they really respect John Wall. And I think what you're going to get, there's going to be a generation of kids coming up who even if they don't know John Wall, their parents will.

Chapter 7: How does Mark Pope's hiring fit into the current situation at UK?
If Cal resigns right after the season, Kentucky probably goes and tries to get Dusty.
I'm sure they would have.
But he had just taken that job because we, remember, had to wait because we had to wait for Cal and Mitch to make that video together and then for him to walk his dog and, like, all of those things to happen. So, you know, are there better coaches? Of course there are better coaches. But did you know ā that Todd Golden was going to be a better coach at that point?
No.
I think he had had one season, and I think it had been pretty disappointing to start. He had success at San Francisco, but not at Florida yet. Somebody goes, well, what about Jay Lucas? He wasn't even a head coach yet. That's true, yes. You would have been hiring a guy who had never coached a game. And Kentucky's not a first-time head coach position.
So it's not that I'm saying, like, it's going to end up being a great choice. We're going to find that out. But I also think it's revisionist history to go, hey, you know this guy that no one was mentioning at the time? I would have hired him. Well, maybe you would have. But if they had introduced, if they had brought in T.J. Otzelberger, And it was known he was picked over Mark Pope.
I don't know how excited people would have been.
It may have been a revolt.
Most people would not have even heard of him. We wouldn't have had 23,000 people down there for the thing. That's for sure. Look, there are a lot of things you can criticize Mitch about. I do think he was put in a tough spot. Yes. Because I think what happened with the swimming thing, There's no ā well, I won't say no doubt because I don't know.
