AaronHOST
Doug, I'm a, I'm gonna lead off actually with you, uh, and just see how you g- Tell us a little bit how you got connected.
AaronHOST
I know that last time we talked about, uh, your, your book about Goose and, uh, had a chance to talk about that, but I'm always interested to hear the story about how you connected this and started the, the process, uh, in, in writing a book like this.
Doug BrunkGUEST
Well, and, and Dan and I have known each other since 2012.
Doug BrunkGUEST
Um, I drove up to Los Angeles to interview him for my first book, Wildcat Memories.
Doug BrunkGUEST
And, um, it was a significant interview because I, I left that, left his offices that day just kind of amazed at how much he was impacted by the University of Kentucky.
Doug BrunkGUEST
Very passionate about his time there and, um, just so much so that, um, it really propelled me for that project and he, and he kindly wrote the forward for that.
Doug BrunkGUEST
So Dan and I stayed in touch after that book was out and, um, um, I tip the hat to g- Goose Givens.
Doug BrunkGUEST
My experience with him was so positive.
Michael BennettHOST
Yeah.
Michael BennettHOST
Jack Givens still makes fun of me with the first time I met him because I just fanboyed him all over.
Michael BennettHOST
And there's not
Justin KalenHOST
many people I'm like that with, but AJ was one.
Michael BennettHOST
Oh, no, I was with probably Jack Givens and Kenny Walker.
Michael BennettHOST
Yeah.
Michael BennettHOST
So Kenny Walker was the same way.
Billy RutledgeHOST
But marijuana is a good comparison because people look at marijuana today as something that helps a lot of people, right? You look back at the archaic rules of the NCAA in the past, and it was like, how come we couldn't let peanut butter be on crackers, right? It was unbelievable some of the stuff that they would penalize kids for.
Billy RutledgeHOST
You know, Jack Givens is talking about how he can't get a meal because he doesn't have enough money, right? So, like, this guy scored all those points in a national championship game.
Billy RutledgeHOST
So, like, I think it's well-deserved for a lot of these guys to be starting making name, image, and likeness money because they were selling their jerseys with their name on their back and they weren't able to get a cut of that.
Billy RutledgeHOST
That's incredible.
Tom CalhounHOST
Hall defeated Duke 94 to 88.
Tom CalhounHOST
41 points by Jack Givens in that one.
Tom CalhounHOST
From 78 to 83, the Kansas City Kings played occasional games at what then was called the Checker Dome, including three games in the 78-79 season, four in the 79-80 season, and three more in 82-83.
Tom CalhounHOST
From 1980 to 83, the arena was the site of the Bragg and Wrights basketball game, 1980 through 93.
Billy RutledgeHOST
Well, we all had to sign a waiver, so if you are injured, it is on you.
Billy RutledgeHOST
But what I don't want to see is the JMI team come out with Goose Givens and Cameron Mills on the team, and they're just shooting threes the entire time.
Billy RutledgeHOST
I need the actual interns out there, not just the former players that are working for them.
Shannon the DudeHOST
Well, Goose was on with Tom Leach last hour, and I don't think he has any intention of playing.
Shannon the DudeHOST
So you don't have to worry about that.
Shannon the DudeHOST
Was he not interested in it? Yeah.
Billy RutledgeHOST
Yeah.
Billy RutledgeHOST
We've got a sub, a super sub.
