The Jack & Zac Talk Cats Show: Recent Episodes
Jack and Zac
Recorded on Monday, April 15…the guys have the quickest 3 episode run in the podcast’s history. Still some reflection on Calipari’s time at Kentucky here but this one is really for the new Kentucky men’s basketball coach, Mark Pope! The fellas give their initial reactions but then express how they are now all in. Looking forward to the next chapter. Go Cats.
While it may be odd to get two episodes in less than a week, with things made official, this one felt needed. The first Cat of the Day in a long time goes to John Calipari. We thank him for his time in this episode and look back on some of our favorite memories. We wish him well on his next journey, except when he’s going against Kentucky. Go Cats.
Another random night podcast is in the books and this one comes with a lot of mixed feelings. It also comes with a couple returning guests and Wildcats fans, TWalk and Big Tuna. 12 days after it’s announced that Kentucky basketball head coach will return, he flips the script and agrees to a five year deal with Arkansas. Some us were ready for this change. Some of us didn’t want it to end this way. Are some of us at a loss for words? Tune in for a few extra takes on this craziness.
The fellas have randomly come together for a new episode of the Jack and Zac Talk Cats Show. What a roller coaster of emotions they missed discussing since the last episode (Jan. 20 😳). Be patient with this one, randomly also means neither was prepared…but the guys have high hopes for the team at its current state heading into the tournaments. Go Cats!
Jack and Zac have tried to come together multiple times since the Dec. 13’s episode, but things kept interfering. Have no fear, the boys are back to discuss the kentucky basketball team and Liam Coen in this episode. Also, lost Cats that make a comeback years later…is that the case with post-season success for this year’s basketball team? 🤞
The guys discuss the transfer portal, more so the questionable departures from UK and some of those getting upset about playing time. They also look ahead to a fun bowl game matchup vs last year’s not so fun one (yes, Zac tackles that take again). As far as basketball goes, this episode comes a week or so after the UNCW loss. Despite that loss, the guys still fill good about this team.
The guys are glad to have a new outlook on the football season now. Took care of business against the Cards. Zac struggled to say annihilates but the men’s basketball team did not struggle to do that to #8 Miami. This episode may have cutoff too early…until next time, GO CATS!
The guys discuss the disappointing football season with hopes for it to end on a higher note against Louisville. Should Jack contemplate renewing the season tickets…will other fans be considering that, as well? This season was supposed to be easier, next year will be tougher. Basketball suffered an L recently too but the guys are truthfully feeling better about this team than those of the past. Fingers crossed you don’t see much more! Let’s go Cats!
This episode is brought to you by Todd County Animal Clinic. Is O’Malley from The Aristocats the greatest male house cat of all time? Kentucky football is bowl eligible for the eighth year in a row! Let’s keep that train moving. Coach Cal comes out on his suit and tie thing in game 1…we are back! The guys also debate who the best all time starting 5 for Kentucky basketball might be. We’ll come back your way next time after two tough matchups for both sports.
Coming off yet another unfortunate loss to the Volunteers last, we at least got to see a former UK QB dominate for most of those Vols fans favorite pro team. This episode’s random headline sparks a longer and more wild conversation than usual. Can the football team finish better than 7-5 this year? The guys also talk other prominent sports media figures recent mistakes. Let’s get many football and basketball wins to end out this year. Go Cats!
The guys get named dropped on Sources Say, sort of. John Calipari in a suit is back! Therefore Kentucky basketball is back?! Two chances to ruin a TN Vols day this weekend, let’s do it. Go cats!
Florida. ✔️. Georgia, you’re next! Did the guys go back on their loss pick to Georgia? Maybe. They did for sure get lost in the discussion of schedules though. Feel free to hit the skip 15 seconds button a few times if you need to on that segment 😂. Indiana/Kentucky is back. The fellas are becoming great sports betters, too.
Odd episode but the guys reflect a bit on the Vandy win and look ahead to the Florida game that they’ve placed their first bets in Kentucky on! They were also victims to click bait with someone disrespecting Kentucky basketball. And it’s also being your daughter to work day - both of the guys have their daughters present for a portion of this episode. #dadduties Go Cats!
Jack reflects on his latest trip to Kroger Field and gives his top moment at the stadium since it recently had its 50th birthday. Is it finally being able to buy a beer there? The guys also talk more about stadium and arena updates. Then the guys discuss recruits out of Kenrucky, including a top QB. Both guys were glued to Colorado game at 1:30 a.m. On to basketball: Rupp arena 3rd best SEC arena. What’s up with university and Big Z? …Place your bets in Kentucky “next” week! Use code JackZac…if that doesn’t work use KSR. And get watch Wrestlers on Netflix!
The guys discuss all the positives after the Cats covered against Ball State. The o-line is fixed? The special teams for sure seems to be! Another solid RB dawg for the Cats with Ray Davis. Speaking of dawgs, we also discuss Coach Prime and Colorado’s big first week win. Cat of the Day is back with a recent champion.
Yep, this is still a thing. After the longest hiatus in podcast history, Jack and Zac have reunited to talk cats. A lot of time has passed since the last recording…might as well call it a new season. The guys skip the usual first of the season preparation episodes and dive right into making win/loss picks. Just like old times, the Cat of the Day was forgotten. Back at it. Go Cats!
This year’s bracketology show from the Jack & Zac Talk Cats Show isn’t quite the same as the last two. The guys haven’t even got into their bracket much at the point of recording. They do take a look at the potential road for Kentucky and Zac wants to call this a potential revenge tour!? Go Cats! The guys also reflect on the unfortunate loss to Vanderbilt and previous SEC tournament failures…time to start winning some more! Again, go Cats!
The boys are back after another hiatus and glad to record after a W. What a ride it’s been since the last episode. Excited to see where the ride takes us in both the SEC and NCAA tournaments. The guys also discuss thoughts on Alabama’s B. Miller situation…Zac brings up Kentucky’s Chris Rodriguez here. More football team with Will Levis at the combine. Hear from them again after SEC tournament. Go Cats!!
The last episode was titled We Hope It Gets Better…it took a turn for the worse but the week then ended with a banger win over Tennessee! Liam Coen is official back with Kentucky! The guys also discuss a recent recruiting loss for basketball and the Mitch/Calipari situation that may not be as big as a situation as some make it to be. Go Cats!
Zac is sicker than a dog, you’ll hear it in his voice but the show goes on. The guys are speechless to an extent. End 2022 with an ugly bowl game…start 2023 with an ugly game vs Bama in basketball. Barf. The guys discuss a little bit of the Calipari to Texas debacle. This episode was recorded on Sunday evening, January 8.
Recorded December 21st. 2 sets of headlines because the guys first tried recording Dec 19. Talks of Liam Coen and a roster for the UK football team that’s become a lot more appealing than expected. Basketball struggles and basketball optimism not only for better player but for Calipari to bring back the suit. Merry Christmas. Happy New Year. Go Cats!
Shoutout to O’Charley’s! Jack & Zac bring you their longest show in history but a lot of quality discussions! We bring on the occasional guest, but this time none other than Accountant Taylor Walker. We are everywhere in this one…Hoptown greats, football team’s future roster, the great broadcasters (with impressions), Calipari’s old teams, Cal’s current team. Enjoy. Go Cats!
The guys discuss the Rich firing…and did one of them just drop some news on his welcome back replacement??? They then discuss their feelings on the bowl game announcement…which happens to be same date and time as Louisville at Kentucky. Which will you be watching? Go Cats!
The guys officially bring you a 30 minute show this time! One could say there’s not much to speak about but four straight Governor’s Cup wins says otherwise. Also discuss basketball’s recent 40 point win and news of a player that shouldn’t have played some last season due to ineligibility. Also…the Wildcat logo…has anyone else seen what Zac came across? Go Cats!
The guys reflect on more losses for both football and basketball and reminisce on a time people hated Kentucky instead of laughing at us now…but no accepting this as the norm. Rich or no Rich? Go Cats!
Coming to you from Wednesday evening (11/16): The guys reflect on the two unfortunate losses from both football and basketball this past week. Who do you blame for the L to Vanderbilt? Do you think Calipari will change some of his coaching habits? Reminder: these guys still love and support both head coaches. Soccer team balling by the way!! Go Cats!
The guys give you a late reflection on the TN loss and also the Missouri game. Keep in mind, some of this content came a week prior to Mizzou game. Jack and Zac also discuss the 180 Calipari has done with the basketball team. They react to the game against Howard and have high praise for the bball team! Go Cats!
Football team coming off and bye week, so it was only right Jack and Zac did, too! The guys look back at the greatness from the last game…the greatness being the Tayshawn Manning flop heard around the world! How the Cats played against MS State was also pretty nice. The guys look back and ahead at matchups against the Volunteers. A little bit of basketball recruiting and big blue madness talk make the episode. However, you’ll have to hear Zac’s thoughts on Big Blue Madness next time thanks to technical difficulties. Go Cats!!
The guys morn a loss no one saw coming with this Kentucky team that could easily be 6-0. Shots fired at the offensive line once again. Another Cat of the Day in honor of the previous great ones. Discussions also on the basketball team’s pro day and series with Gonzaga announcement.

They also discuss a little statue talk for football coaches. Go Cats!
The Stoops special. Empire State Building? The guys show sympathy for Kenny Payne. UK Football and basketball are big money! Hot takes or unpopular opinions? Go Cats!!

Bowl games and basketball team being the majority of the conversation. The title also gives an unedited warning because this is the first show where no edits were made…still some minor cursing but the warning is more for any ignorance or cutting out that you may hear.
