| 0:00.0 | We're back. We're back. It's a dead cast. I'm Drew. And we're all this out this week. So we have the one and only Lauren Tyson with us, Lauren say hi. |
| 0:19.7 | Hey, Drew. How's it going? Oh, it's Ross Stern to be out. And he picked the wrong week to be out because Lauren Tyson, we have emergency Papa John news. Oh, my God, yeah, it's incredible. I'm so happy to see us. I was watching Kentucky LSU last night, and Papa John is just sitting in like prime seating like |
| 0:38.3 | right behind the Kentucky bench. He has to have some sort of like major connection, tons of money |
| 0:43.2 | that he just like gave to Kentucky to get those seats. He was right there. He abandoned Louisville. |
| 0:48.4 | It was, I was so happy to see him. Not at all, but it was great. |
| 0:52.7 | Yeah, last night, Papa John went outside the Young |
| 0:55.3 | Brand's family and found a new child in Kentucky basketball. And he saw a heartbreaking loss, too. |
| 1:03.9 | I mean, like Louisville lost in heartbreaking fashion too last night. So I don't know, it was a lose |
| 1:08.1 | lose for Papa, I guess. But yeah, LSU got the tippin at the buzzer. I was just, like, literally the entire second half. You could see him in the frame whenever Kentucky had the ball, and I wasn't even watching the game. I was just watching Papa react to, like, every Miss Kentucky shot. And it was, I enjoyed it. We need a Papa Cam. Yeah. He needs the Jerry Jones cam. It just has to be on him at all times. Yeah, he was wearing merch too. He was wearing Kentucky merch. He had a big blue like an Oxford, like buttoned up. And then at the end of the game, he like put like a, what looked like a black jacket over it because he was like ready to go. But yeah, I don't know. He was very, |
| 1:44.8 | he would have been very disappointed in the result. And he had to know that he would be seen, |
| 1:50.6 | right? He did that specifically to be seen, right? I don't know. I think, yeah, I think at the very |
| 1:56.9 | least, he could have gotten a seat that wasn't right in view of the camera. Like he could have |
| 2:00.7 | gotten one on the other side of the court. But I don't know. I think he wants to, like, I think this is the beginning of his rehab or whatever. He's just going to, like, he's been abandoned by Louisville, so he's just going to go down a few miles to Lexington and find a new home there. Papa put himself in the ads. He likes being seen. |
| 2:17.8 | Oh, yeah. He got the TV seats and he got the Kentucky merch, specifically, specifically |
| 2:22.9 | so there would be emergency Papa John podcast in his name. |
| 2:27.6 | Done. Do you think he buys it? I don't think he was actually rooting for Kentucky, do you? |
| 2:32.2 | He seemed like legitimately into it. He wasn't like those celebrities you see court side where where they're just like, they are clearly there to be seen. Like he was high-fiving his buddy. He was like turning around in frustration at turnovers. Like, he legitimately looked into it, but he might have just been sauced. I don't know. Or he might have been acting that. Like he might have been like, okay, I need people to believe that I really changed families. |
| 2:55.4 | So I have to be into this game. |
| 2:57.2 | Or, or he could have just, you know, sort of been socialized with the crowd. |
| 3:03.4 | Like, you ever go to, like, a home stadium of some team that you're neutral to? |
| 3:07.1 | Oh, yeah. |
| 3:07.5 | And you root with them. Yeah, I had that with some team that you're neutral to? Oh, yeah. And you root with them. |
