0:22.6

0:27.6

another edition of our ksr happy hour presented by country boy brewing i am uh i cannot have beer

0:33.9

today got some steroids in me but i do have water in a country boy cup so I'm going to follow my doctor's orders and not drink at 4 o'clock. But I do still rep the brand. It's got the Kentucky thing, flag seal. Is that one of the ones that you can refill at KS Bar? We had that promo for a while where you could refill it for a certain amount or something like that. You're not suggesting I would take a cup from KS Bar. Do you look like Ryan Lemon? No. No. But we have Country Boy at KS Bar or just down the street. They have their place at Chair Avenue, the big spot out in Georgetown, or you can go play pickleball out here my way at the Midway intersection. They keep adding lights to that place. I said that last week. I think they've lit it up even more. So it's a fun place. Check it out if you're in Lexington. We always love Country Boy in our partnership with them. But we do have a fun timeline to get to today and a big volleyball match coming up later tonight. I'll start there with our volleyball excitement. There's going to be a party at KS. Bar for anyone in the Lexington area who can't go to Kansas City or didn't go to Kansas City. I'm going to stay for about a set. That's all I can handle right now is I'm dealing with back issues. But I'm excited to see how this excited this fan base is. I think the restaurant will be packed. I've seen videos from

1:45.3

Kansas City, Tyler, of fans that are popping in. We've known for a while that that program can

1:51.0

generate a buzz. The whole regular season was awesome, but it looks like Big Blue Nation is on fire

1:55.6

for the volleyball team. It's awesome. I mean, they're the best team on campus. They've proven

2:00.6

it for about the last

2:01.6

two months. I'm so happy for them and how excited everybody is. I won't lie. I was extra excited

2:08.0

when Nebraska lost on Sunday because it kind of feels like it just opened up the bracket for Kentucky.

2:15.2

I'm a little annoyed that they're playing Wisconsin because I don't really have

2:19.7

great good final four memories of Wisconsin. But if there's any team that can avenge that and

2:24.9

turn it around, it's this volleyball team. And special shout out to Jacob Polichick, who is

2:30.0

currently on the road to Casey to cover it for us. When you know, he's, when you think volleyball, you think Jacob. So it's, it's a natural fit. I think of a lot of things when I think of Jacob. Volleyball's not one of them, but yes. It'll be a fun gig for Jacob. He's a Kansas guy. He can go see all his old spots. Oh, he left at the opportunity. Yeah. I remember when they, sorry, go ahead.

2:54.4

Yeah, go ahead.

3:08.8

It's fine. Oh, he left us the opportunity. Yeah. I remember when they, sorry, go ahead. Yeah, go ahead. I was just going to say, I remember when they won the championship a few years ago, just the excitement around Lexington then. Were you covering it? That one, Zach? I just remember it very well. I think we had someone from KSR covering it, who I think works for On 3 now.

3:12.0

I forget exactly one of our interns at the time was covering it, but I remember exactly where I was when they won.

3:14.6

And I think, you know, kind of on a sour note, I think it was like the exact same time that

3:19.0

Terrence Clark's passing happened as well.

3:21.5

Like it was a very, very like bittersweet type of like 24 hours there, if I remember correctly. Maybe that was the Final Four or something, but I remember it very well. Yeah, and I remember I pulled over. I was in Louisville and had to get back to Lexington, but there was like one set left, and I just watched the whole set parked in my car and a random gas station. It's, you know, we don't get many final fours in national championships around here lately. And Greg, on the verge of maybe a second. Tyler, does it make you nervous? I know we're excited that the path opened, but now you have the target on your back as the top seed, they're the betting favorite. Does that add some anxiety or does that just make you more excited and confident and not finishing the job?
