Chapter 2: Who is the new Athletic Director for Kentucky?

1011.265 - 1032.845 Rob Dauster

No, no, I don't think so. I mean, maybe a guy will make a team and, you know, have a chance, but not a not a legitimate like rotation to me NBA guy. Probably not. No, no. But but again, we'll get there at some point. But yes, your excuse, your excuse to me. You know, like I don't think you can use that.

0

1033.145 - 1055.633 Rob Dauster

I think it's more of an indictment on that staff a year ago and now learning from their mistakes and saying, hey, we're going to go get two point guards of which if one goes down, we still got another high level one. And while I think we both agree they don't fit perfectly together, Diallo and Wilkins, man, it gives you the ultimate insurance policy that most teams don't have. Yeah.

0

1056.187 - 1071.845 Rob Dauster

Yep, that is true. Listen, we've got to get to a break. We're going to talk more about this Kentucky roster. We're going to talk more about Mark Pope. We're going to talk about De'Aaron Fox making it to the NBA Finals, and we're going to take a couple more of your calls. 859-280-2287. Ask Goodman whatever you want.

1072.146 - 1083.283 Justin Ho

He will answer it here on KSR. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind. Highlights are trending, opinions are flying, and nobody's telling you exactly what happened.

Mainstream media is full of cruel depictions of the unhoused, stories that shame and blame and paint the unhoused as a monolith. We The Unhoused is the podcast that's changing that. I'm Theo Henderson, creator and host, and for years I've created a space where the unhoused and their advocates can tell their own stories. In the last few months alone, I've interviewed unhoused parents,

1152.357 - 1168.578 Theo Henderson

immigrants, mutual aid organizers, veterans, the LGBTQTIA plus community, and the policymakers who make the laws that impact the unhoused existence. We The Unhoused is a two-time Webby and Signal Award-winning show with many exciting guests on the horizon.

1169.299 - 1189.659 Theo Henderson

Tune in this week for my interview with Dr. Jill Wichler, a street doctor turned influencer whose work with the unhoused community has made a huge impact online and in her community. Listen to Weezy and Howes on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

1189.679 - 1203.255 Rob Dauster

Keith Giamonka seemed like a mild-mannered suburban dad. But secretly, he became someone else. A master of disguise who went on a crime spree. At the time, did it seem like a crazy idea?

1203.691 - 1212.943

It seemed very crazy. But I felt so desperate that I felt it was the quickest, easiest way out.

Chapter 4: How will fundraising impact the future of Kentucky athletics?

1213.124 - 1223.057

Did you allow yourself to think about how it could go wrong and what that might look like? No. I didn't want to manifest that. I was trying to manifest success.

1224.259 - 1231.268 Rob Dauster

Every family has its secrets. But what happens when you discover that your dad has been living a double life?

0

1231.45 - 1244.473 Danielle Fishel

That is not the look of an innocent man. This is going to change my life and my family dynamic forever because everything that had existed prior in my reality is now untrue.

1257.202 - 1267.593 Madeline Fox

Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is, getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is, getting a new one put up in its place.

1268.434 - 1278.785 Mick Hunt

As long as there's a politics of race in America, there's going to be a politics of remembering the Civil War. To get to school, I had to go down Robert E. Lee Boulevard. To get to the grocery store, I had to go down Jefferson Davis Parkway.

1278.945 - 1284.07 Shannon Sharpe

If you're an historian and you leave out half of what the history is, you're not doing your job.

1284.168 - 1303.813 Madeline Fox

I'm Akilah Hughes, and Rebel Spirit season two goes deep on both of those things, the fights, the politics, the people who won, and my personal campaign to add something to the Kentucky State House that's actually worth the wall space. We are more than our bodies. We contain essence. We contain spirit. How do you represent that?

1303.793 - 1307.264 Rob Dauster

They are just fueling a fire that is really catching.

Chapter 5: What challenges does Mark Pope face this season?

2052.86 - 2069.687 Rob Dauster

When your team is losing, Do you want to go out and listen to me and Jeff Goodman sit here and say, this is why Kentucky is losing? No, you don't want that. When your team wins, you want to hear about it. You want to get excited about it. You want to hear where they rank nationally. You want to hear what this big, massive win, what this comeback against Tennessee, what does that mean?

0

2070.008 - 2090.51 Rob Dauster

Can we make it to the Final Four? Do we have a chance to win the SEC regular season championship? That's when it gets good. That's when people pay attention. That's when you want to listen. So, yes, Kentucky is the biggest and the best fan base when it comes to college basketball content on the internet. I don't think I'm really breaking news there, Jeff. You are not. You are not.

0

2090.691 - 2119.77 Rob Dauster

I've felt the wrath of Big Blue Nation for years. It's a different level. It's a different level. There are other fan bases to me that are a step down from that in terms of like – I don't know, being like little brotherish, right? Like Providence has some of that. They're crazy. Not great with them right now. Texas Tech is another one. You know, obviously little brotherish to Texas.

0

2120.49 - 2132.545 Rob Dauster

NC State is like that with Duke and Carolina. But Kentucky, to me, is the best and the worst. You know, they are. You've got the best fans everywhere.

0

Chapter 6: How does the pressure on Kentucky's Athletic Director compare to other schools?

2133.419 - 2154.024 Rob Dauster

Probably in all of sports in some way. And I grew up in Boston, so I dealt with the Red Sox, Yankees, that type of thing. I just, yeah, I think, again, you've got some incredible fans. And then you've got a small percentage that, you know, can ruin it for the rest of you. Here's my take on it.

0

2154.324 - 2173.45 Rob Dauster

And if there's – I think I've said this before, but if there's Kentucky fans listening that disagree, please let me know. But my take on it has always been that Kentucky as a state tends to kind of get dunked on a little bit. And people have their fun making fun of the state, making fun of some of the people in the state, right, which –

0

2173.43 - 2190.087 Rob Dauster

And when it comes to the basketball team and the basketball program, they take pride in being able to say, listen, you can make fun of whatever you want, like get your shots off. But when it comes down to it, you got to lace up five people. You got to put them on a court and we're going to go out there and we're going to beat your team and we're going to beat your guys.

0

2190.488 - 2207.243 Rob Dauster

And they protect it like it's their own. And I've always found that it's the, the, the identity that people from the state have when it comes to the basketball program. It's, it's, it means a lot more than just being a fan, I think is probably the best way to phrase it.

0

2207.263 - 2230.89 Rob Dauster

So, hey, listen, I'll tell you this, and I think a lot of people that do content and create college basketball content will agree that at a heart, deep down in our souls, every single one of us is a Kentucky fan because of the support that our shows get and our content gets when Kentucky is doing well. Shannon, we got anything else? We got any other calls? Yeah, let's go to Kreese.

2230.91 - 2249.443 Rob Dauster

Hey, Kreese, you're on. Kreese, what's up, man? Hey, how's it going, guys? Something that I know that you guys know that means a lot to BBN is the SEC tournament in Nashville every year. And I know that there's some good teams at the top of the SEC, like Texas and Tennessee and obviously Florida and a few others.

2249.543 - 2269.722 Rob Dauster

But can you give us some hope that we are actually going to make it to the weekend this year and actually enjoy Nashville for longer than a day or two? I'll hang up and listen. Thank you. Nashville, well, first and foremost, Nashville has kind of gotten to the point with me as Vegas where it's like if you're there for more than a day or two, you might be there for too long.

2270.183 - 2293.484 Rob Dauster

You know, I think maybe it's just me and I have too much fun in that city. But I feel good about it. I feel good. I said this earlier on the show. Outside of Florida, I don't think that there is a team in this league that I look at and I can definitively say they are going to be better than Kentucky, no doubt about it, no question in my mind. Yeah, that's fair, but I'll say this.

2295.41 - 2322.523 Rob Dauster

A lot of those teams down the bottom got better, okay? So, for instance, South Carolina – was atrocious last year. They had money. They've got – I just saw Lamont Paris, and he said, last year, I don't know if we had like an SEC level, like a dude, like a guy that could really start in the SEC. He goes, now I think we have five. Five. Because they have real money this year.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of player injuries for Kentucky's performance?

3033.573 - 3056.815 Rob Dauster

I just don't think that the Tyron Stokes, Mark Pope, marriage would have worked and i think that it was best for all parties including kansas that he ended up uh as a jayhawk it's like the the cam boozer darren peterson argument in a way Like Cam Boozer, you know what you're going to get. High character. He's great.

0

3056.835 - 3081.298 Rob Dauster

He's going to come to play every day, every play, where Peterson is a higher upside like Stokes. But, man, there are some red flags. There are some questions with what happened last year at Kansas. I don't know which I'd rather. Obviously, I've been critical of Stokes. And I think he's got to grow up. But, again, he is clearly, to me, the most talented player in this class.

0

3081.338 - 3101.524 Rob Dauster

He's also a freshman where Milan's got three years of college experience. The big thing with Milan we've talked about, and I do think he's going to be super important for Mark Pope in whether they're successful this year. Elite shooter, you've just got to find a way to kind of hide him a little bit on the defensive end. Yeah, for sure.

0

3101.544 - 3116.928 Rob Dauster

I mean, look, Stokes is probably going to end up being a better NBA player. I think that he is the guy with the higher upside. He is more athletic. He is more skilled. I'm not arguing any of that, but I think this year, this season for the next, what would it be? Nine, 10 months.

0

3117.409 - 3142.361 Rob Dauster

I think that Milan Momchilovic is a better fit for Kentucky basketball and that Kentucky basketball will be better for it than they would have been had they gotten Tyron Stokes. So yeah, Goodman, we've got about a minute left here. You got anything you want to say to these Kentucky fans before we head on out? Just that it's nice that I'm able to forge a relationship with Big Blue Nation again.

3142.581 - 3164.544 Rob Dauster

It had been a long time. And to come on here, and I appreciate Matt asking me, I think a year ago, you did it without me. And it's been fun. It's been fun to be able to go into – whether it's Nashville for a game against Gonzaga or for the SEC tournament or to go to Lexington and not have to worry about profanities thrown my way.

3164.604 - 3182.862 Rob Dauster

I think people hopefully respect the fact that I'm going to be real one way or the other. And it's been great, though. It's been fun. Appreciate it. Yep, and this was great. It was a lot of fun jumping on again. Tomorrow, the gentleman from part of my take will be taking over ASR. This has been Fallen Field 68. We're out.
