Gather 'round, sports enthusiasts and cinephiles, as we huddle up with Mark, Chris, and Greg for a hearty blend of sports talk and silver screen nostalgia. Sinking our teeth into Kentucky's latest basketball triumph, we stir up a lively debate about the coaching fiasco between John Calipari and Bruce Pearl. But the hoops hysteria doesn't stop there; we're tossing around our thoughts on Chris Holtmann's departure from Ohio State, and whether Thad Matta might just bounce back onto the court. We don't just stick to the script; there's even a dash of Lima trivia and reminiscing about the good ol' days with Greg Oden and Mike Conley, all served with the laid-back vibe of friends catching up over drinks.
Now, dim the lights and grab your popcorn as we put our movie quote memory to the test, with lines that'll have you racing through film favorites from "Smokey and the Bandit" to "The Godfather." We're not just about the laughs though; we share a slice of our hearts with personal tales tied to the Daytona 500 and a nod to the legend of Dale Earnhardt Sr. Switching from the roar of engines to the whisper of celluloid dreams, join us as we traverse the winding roads of casual chatter, shared memories, and those unexpected 'aha!' moments that pop up when the conversation is as free-flowing as the beverages.

3 Guys Around the Table.
Speaker 2:
Well, there's 3 of us and there's a table.
Speaker 3:
You've heard of 5 guys. We're not talking burgers and fries here, we're talking 3 guys a table and the topics of the day that we want to talk about. It could be anything from this to that, or we could talk to this person to that, but guess what? You'll never know what it is until you listen in.
Speaker 2:
Welcome to 3 Guys Around the Table I'm Mark, I'm Chris, I'm Greg. Since we didn't introduce ourselves the last time, we figured we'd better start off right off the bat with that, and tonight it is truly going to be things we just want to talk about. No said agenda. We're just going to kind of shoot the breeze a little bit, so we should. What are the topics of the day? What are some things you want to talk about?
Speaker 3:
Well, Kentucky beat Auburn pretty good down there at Auburn.
Speaker 1:
So that's a pretty good thing. It was a good win. It was a good week. They played defense.
Speaker 3:
They played defense. It was a great thing, to see it was good about time they put on the gas the whole time.
Speaker 2:
You know they came out of the gate.
Speaker 3:
They were leading all the way through the game and really just. But did you notice? And listen to Bruce Pearl? It sounds like he's jockeying for the UK job, no question, I mean he's trying so hard to get his name and consideration there for a job that's not open. Well, I like the guy, but I don't think Barnhart would ever hire him.
Speaker 1:
Well, I would have never thought he would have hired John Gallipari either.
Speaker 3:
Well, there was a bunch of boosters behind that deal.
Speaker 2:
You know, after what Gallipari said, after the game.
Speaker 3:
I like that. I like that.
Speaker 2:
I mean, that was, that was pretty intense, right.
Speaker 3:
You guys came here for another reason. You came here for some other reason. You came to see something different. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, so seriously with Cal is to see keep his job for as long as he wants. That's his way, that's his way.
Speaker 1:
That's his way. That's his way With the buyout that he's got Right. Yeah, we're not going to pay you 75 million for not coaching, right, yeah, this is not the Ken Griffey situation.
Speaker 2:
I'm sorry, it doesn't work that way yeah.
Speaker 3:
He's coaches as long as he wants to coach. Yeah, I think so yeah, hands down. But you guys, ohio State lost a coach this week. Yeah, yeah, we did Chris Hulton.
Speaker 2:
It was time. You know, chris did a good job, I think for several years there and I think his message got a little stale. I think he did a really good job in turning the culture around on the team, but as far as X's and O's, I just I don't think he's. You know what's your record right now? 15 and 11.
Speaker 3:
I think about that. You guys fired somebody with a winning record in University of Luzerville down the street, yeah, as a coach. It's eight and 18.
Speaker 2:
Well, with, with the, with the interim coach, jake D Blur. He, you know, took over and they're going to push the ball a little bit. They're going to get a lot more. In the transition game they played Purdue and took it to Purdue and, you know, knock them off, the number two team in the country. Good win. I don't think Jake D Blur is applying for the, for the job, full time.
Speaker 1:
I don't think he's coaching for the job, but he's. He's an Ohio boy from.
Speaker 2:
Lima yeah, he's, you know this.
Speaker 3:
This is since we're just talking today. I mean we're simply sitting around the table talking.
Speaker 2:
Well, I think we can talk about a fun fact, okay, and that fun fact is the city of Lima shares its name with a being.
Speaker 3:
That's true, that's true.
Speaker 2:
It's another city named Lima, in which country Peru. Fun fact, chris is smart Bingo, so anyway, that's the I believe they call it Lima. Yeah, so I'm glad that we got to talk about Lima there.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, just the city in.
Speaker 2:
Peru. Right, I think that's I've got the fun fact. Yeah, OK good.
Speaker 3:
Ohio State's firetex coach Chris Holtman is from what city in Kentucky, Lima.
Speaker 2:
I'm going to guess, hmm.
Speaker 1:
Elizabeth 10.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, I'm going to go with Radcliffe.
Speaker 3:
Does he live next to the pawn shop, one of the Thoroughbred lounge Three? No, he's from Nicholasville, nicholas Vegas.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So no, you know I had. It's going to be interesting to see who Ohio State goes after for their next basketball coach. But really, thad Mada, part two. Thad could be coming back. I'm on the. I'm on the Thad Mada.
Speaker 3:
Why don't we just hire Greg Odin? Where did he ever disappear to, didn't he? He's in like some museum.
Speaker 1:
Now the missing.
Speaker 2:
Greg Odin. Greg Odin was the man.
Speaker 1:
Look that team look, he was the man at the Justin Bieber concert.
Speaker 2:
If he is the missing link you know, I mean he played most of that, that one season, most of the season with his right wrist broken and he had to shoot free throws left handed. And he still got him to the national championship game, and Mike Conley was on that team too. So that was a pretty decent little team.
Speaker 3:
You know what's funny is I don't remember the name Mike Conley. And where's he playing the NBA Does he used to play for Memphis.
Speaker 2:
I'm not sure if he still does or not, but yeah, he's had a great NBA career.
Speaker 3:
He related to John Conley.
Speaker 2:
I think that they sang a little rose covered glasses. These rose colored glasses.
Speaker 1:
Did we talk about the Super Bowl last week, or I can't remember.
Speaker 3:
Super Bowl? I don't believe so.
Speaker 2:
No, what's the Super Bowl Did we? I don't know. Yeah, we did, yeah, we did we talked a little bit about how terrible the commercials.
Speaker 1:
Travis Kelsie, Taylor House and Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsie, or they're going to get married.
Speaker 2:
Absolutely. I can't believe he didn't propose. He's on the field.
Speaker 3:
Absolutely. I just can't wait until they break up and she writes a song about him. That's not going to happen.
Speaker 2:
No, they're there and it for the long call.
Speaker 3:
They are meant to be. One thing I do have to tell you. Yeah, you know, Jason Kelsie's wife did she did you see what she wore to the game.
Speaker 2:
Yes, she wore a red outfit, but no, kate Kansas City. Why was it red? Because Taylor Swift's album.
Speaker 3:
No, it was Cincinnati Bearcats is what it was. Yeah, because she refused to wear the chiefs, because her husband you know, and she's a Bengals fan because she's Cincinnati girl Boom.
Speaker 2:
I like that and close.
Speaker 1:
South Alima.
Speaker 3:
That's a good name of a band. It's a sort of band.
Speaker 2:
This podcast very easily could be South of Lima.
Speaker 3:
I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 2:
Percent. I don't know why we keep.
Speaker 3:
I say we get around with. Let's get rid of the table and call ourselves South of Lima.
Speaker 1:
South of Lima. So have you guys seen these, the new fighting series that's on TV and on the internet?
Speaker 3:
that's big, big, little brawlers no that's slapping. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I've seen that they have to watch the video.
Speaker 1:
They've been rousing their hands before they do it. Yeah, so and you got to tell them when the slaps coming. I mean they'll knock you out slapping you. I think we should show Markelle at work.
