What's up, guys. Welcome to another KSR Happy Hour presented by Country Boy Brewing. They are our favorite sponsor here on the Happy Hour, and we're happy to

announce that they have extended their sponsorship of KSR Happy Hour. So cheers to them.

It is a day of celebration. Cheers to that. Yeah, I am joined by Nick Roush, Jack Pilgrim,

and Stephen Peek. What's up, knuckleheads? Anything happened today? Kind of a newsy day.

Didn't expect that when I woke up, but my goodness. That's been like the story of the last few

months, right? Oh, I didn't expect that. What a crazy day. That's the truth. So we'll start,

obviously, with the Mitch Barnhart news.

This kind of just all escalated within the past two days, thanks to Andy Bashir,

because so unless you've been under a rock, Mitch Barnhart will not be becoming the executive

in residence of the UK Sports and Workforce Initiative, which it'll be interesting

to see if that even exists now.

So that kind of reversal came as pressure was put on UK by Andy Bashir, mostly over the

law school dean situation, but Andy kind of threw this in there as another

example of lack of transparency and mismanagement by UK. So after two days of a lot of public

pressure, he will not be doing that anymore. It's not really clear if he's just retiring for good

now. Previously, there was some, you know, he had his role as the special assistant

or advisor to the president, which was a slightly less cushy position, but it was a position

nonetheless.

We could go over those quotes in a minute, but Nick, what was your first reaction?

You had the the most uh

i would say i would say excited but biggest reaction in the group chat it is just hilarious

that bullying worked i i there was a drop on my old radio show where they like to make fun of me
