00:01:16
Speaker 3: But this is a perfect day.

00:01:18
Speaker 2: Here at the Lexington Fire Department out in Masterson Station, the newest fire department in the in the city of Lexington, and what a cool place to visit.

00:01:26
Speaker 4: It is a beautiful facility.

00:01:28
Speaker 5: I mean it's right here in the middle of the Masterson Station neighborhood area. And man, we were just talking. This is the station that saved my house. This is the station God lived right over there.

00:01:37
Speaker 3: This is the station that came to your house.

00:01:39
Speaker 2: Yes, when you left it to go to Boston and left it and it caught on fire.

00:01:44
Speaker 3: They came and kept you from kept you having a structure.

00:01:48
Speaker 4: This this station saved my house, saved my dog.

00:01:51
Speaker 3: Sir, if you thanked everybody.

00:01:52
Speaker 5: Well, they said it was the second shift. Guys there there.

00:01:56
Speaker 6: I feel like they're still a part of the team.

00:01:57
Speaker 4: I can't thank them enough because you think them U I am thinking them right now.

00:02:03
Speaker 6: I mean I said before, we can't think them enough.

00:02:05
Speaker 3: I literally didn't hear him think them one time.

00:02:08
Speaker 7: They're buying us lunch. I told Ryan before we started, he should be buying them a lot.

00:02:12
Speaker 2: Why are you eating fire department lunch? You should be buying fire department line.

00:02:17
Speaker 5: They did because they were there with my house within seconds after the call came in. Within seconds, they were there, and when they entered the house, it was on fire. Josiah's room was on fire.

00:02:25
Speaker 8: All right.

00:02:26
Speaker 2: So the reason we're here is that the Lexington Fire Department wants you listening Channon specifically. Okay, right now, those of you listening, you think I'm talking to the other people, I'm actually talking to you specific Oh wow, okay, the person listening to this. They want you to join their team. They offer excellent benefits. You get paid while training at the academy and a twenty four to twenty four schedule. You get twenty four hours on forty eight hours off at the Lexington Fire Department. You can learn more on Twitter, LFD Hiring or go to the Lexington Fire Department website. So, Shannon, they showed me around. You know, when you're a kid like everybody wants to.

00:03:07
Speaker 3: Be a firefighter. Yeah, I can see why.

00:03:09
Speaker 2: First of all, they got these big trucks, right they I saw where they sleep. I saw like they where they watch movies and like basketball games together.

00:03:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a basketball goal.

00:03:20
Speaker 2: They have a kitchen, Like if I wanted to learn to cook, I can come do it here. They have like a big fire department kitchen.

00:03:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, he said.

00:03:27
Speaker 2: The guy that was showing me around said, we kind of live here for twenty four hours and just kind of seems like a cool place.

00:03:33
Speaker 3: I feel more manly being here.

00:03:34
Speaker 7: Yeah you should, I know, right, you know, if you did learn to cook here and you did catch a fire, I think everything would be okay.

00:03:40
Speaker 6: We could put it out quickly.

00:03:41
Speaker 4: Here.

00:03:41
Speaker 2: I want to ask you guys the firefighter sit with here. Is the mustache required? Because I've had I've seen three people in here, all of which have a mustache not required. Okay, I don't think I could pull one off. That would be my biggest deterrent to becoming a firefighter.

00:03:56
Speaker 4: I've had.

00:03:57
Speaker 5: It's part of the uniform. Now you have to have that big look at his mustache. It's it's mustache. Well that first of all, that's kind of women like that.

00:04:07
Speaker 2: Now, women the mustag when we it's gone through cycles like when we were kids, mustaches were it. Then it went through a period where it was like no, that that's not good, and now it's back.

00:04:19
Speaker 7: I think it was magnum p I you know, like when we were younger. I think that Tom Selick was the reason that mustaches were in there.

00:04:25
Speaker 3: Now all these country singers.

00:04:26
Speaker 7: Yeah, I feel like we hang out here long enough, like by the end of the day when we leave, well I'll have mustaches.

00:04:31
Speaker 2: So uh, thank you to the Lexton Fire Department for having us here. This is a very cool situation. And you know you just you were able to walk here today, weren't you?

00:04:40
Speaker 5: Well, I was going to, but the weather kind of stunk today. It's snowing, right, he could riot.

00:04:45
Speaker 6: Can't walk in the snow.

00:04:46
Speaker 3: He couldn't be a firefight. You don't think that they're going to have to go fight a fire right now?

00:04:50
Speaker 4: Well, these guys are our heroes. I'm a woosie, all right.

00:04:53
Speaker 3: Let me that's that is true? That is true? All right?

00:04:56
Speaker 2: Let me can I tell you some facts I learned today, Shane, Yeah, about firefight?

00:05:00
Speaker 3: This was interesting to me.

00:05:01
Speaker 2: First of all, twenty four hours on, forty eight hours off, they showed me back there the board where you can see all the calls coming in and you see who gets sent out. Like right while we were here, there are five calls out somewhere. Every firefighter is trained as an EMT because you know when you called nine to one one and an ambulance comes. Maybe I should have known this. I didn't know everybody that came that came through the fire department. I mean I knew I've seen fire trucks and stuff, but I didn't realize if you call nine one when an ambulance came, everything comes through the fire apartment.

00:05:33
Speaker 3: Did you know that?

00:05:34
Speaker 9: Uh?

00:05:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, I did. I just smart family in the fire department.

00:05:37
Speaker 3: I didn't know.

00:05:38
Speaker 2: Now this is the thing I learned that I want to see a change. How many ambulances do you think we have in the city of Lexington? How many or how many do you think we should have?

00:05:50
Speaker 4: We should have over one hundred.

00:05:55
Speaker 6: That is round number.

00:05:57
Speaker 3: Now that's a lot of ambulance.

00:05:59
Speaker 2: That is a lot, all right, So over a you say we should have over a should have? How many do you think we should have.

00:06:04
Speaker 7: I'm gonna say we probably have closer to half of that number. I'm going to say around fifty.

00:06:09
Speaker 2: Fifty, Rick, how many ambulances do you think the city of Lexington has.

00:06:12
Speaker 5: Well, I was going to say fifty before Shannon said it.

00:06:15
Speaker 2: So Rick was gonna say fifty before you. All right, so you think over one hundred and you think fifty. Ricks thinks fifty. This blew my mind and I would argue this needs to be changed. Do you know we only have twelve?

00:06:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, that sounds like a problem. Twelve because like even I saw reck last night on Harrisburg Road.

00:06:35
Speaker 3: They were two there. Okay, so now you're down to ten.

00:06:37
Speaker 4: Down to ten for the rest.

00:06:38
Speaker 3: Of the city.

00:06:38
Speaker 6: Just said you had five out right.

00:06:40
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean, well there's other stuff.

00:06:42
Speaker 6: Yeah, but sure twelve.

00:06:44
Speaker 4: Wow.

00:06:45
Speaker 2: Apparently, of in America the forty busiest individual ambulances in America, eleven of the forty were here in Lexington. So it feels like we might be a little understaffed on ambulances. You once again off, well, I think, but I feel I speak like, yeah, we need to say for a city this size, Shannon, it would seem to me we need we should get more than time. I mean, if we had a hundred and a flat tired now you're down there, Yeah, I.

00:07:11
Speaker 6: Mean if we had one hundred, I don't think it would be crazy.

00:07:14
Speaker 2: You know, I would have if you had asked me, I would have said, like forty.

00:07:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we have twelve.

00:07:19
Speaker 2: Well, so anyway, for what it's worth, feels like that's something maybe we should work off.

00:07:24
Speaker 5: Lieutenant Gavin said, they're going to actually have an ambulance that's gonna be stationed here very soon, right.

00:07:28
Speaker 3: And that'll be thirteen. Wow. Maybe well no, that would be one of the twelve. We're gonna move them.

00:07:33
Speaker 5: So what two hundred and fifty three hundred thousand people and we have twelve.

00:07:36
Speaker 3: I think we have now have like three hundred and fifty out.

00:07:38
Speaker 6: That sounds like a problem that needs to be addressed.

00:07:40
Speaker 3: So anyway, we are here at the fire department.

00:07:42
Speaker 2: Thank you very much for having it isn't ask anything Wednesday, which means you can ask anything. It's Thursday. So it's an ask anything Thursday that we are Wednesday, that we moved to Thursday.

00:07:52
Speaker 3: Gotcha?

00:07:52
Speaker 2: Okay, Now, sometimes this happens, you know, I try to figure out what we're gonna talk about, and usually there's a big story. But then sometimes Shannon their days where there's a lot of little stories, but there's nothing that sort of really coalesced. So I've written down twelve topics, as you know I'm apt to do. Drew is on his way to Austin, Texas, so he's not here. So with the twelve topics, I thought, rather than me try to guess before ask anything calls what it is that we want to talk about, let's just do the random. You're going to pick a number one through twelve, okay, and whatever you get is what I'm going to start the show on. It might be something sports related, or you might end up picking something random, and if the listeners don't like it, it's your fault.

00:08:39
Speaker 3: The same number of topics as we have ambulances.

00:08:41
Speaker 7: And I was about to say that, so in honor of the twelve ambulances that we have, let's go number twelve to start off.

00:08:46
Speaker 3: Number twelve.

00:08:47
Speaker 2: Okay, this was not the one I would have selected, but nevertheless it was the one you picked. So you know how, you'll have an election and people will go, my guy didn't win.

00:08:58
Speaker 3: I'm leaving the country. By the way, no one ever leaves.

00:09:02
Speaker 2: They always say that. Everybody's like, I'm leaving the country. What people realize I went to Europe for a long time. It was awesome. You still would rather live here. They got a lot more stuff here. Like everybody always everybody always acts like America, like they're on one side, and they'll go, oh god, it's patent America stinks, and then they'll do the same.

00:09:20
Speaker 6: Great, all right, it's always celebrities.

00:09:23
Speaker 2: It's usually sets can be celebrities. But and not to get all philosophical, but in the grand course of human history, those of us sitting here right now, we live better lives than ninety nine point nine percent of the humans that have ever walked this earth. That's honestly true. We are like the luckiest group of people to really ever exist on the planet. So with that said, but some people don't realize that. So they their person lose the election, they go, I'm leaving. So a cruise company, okay, a cruise company decided to try to like take advantage of that. Okay, And they have said that if for people who are mad about the person that won the presidency, and they were doing this no matter who won, they were gonna offer a.

00:10:12
Speaker 3: Four year cruise.

00:10:13
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, you could.

00:10:15
Speaker 6: Cruise around the world for.

00:10:18
Speaker 2: Four years, and you could get so basically it's four years. You take two weeks off around Christmas so you can go remind your family you exist, and then you get right back on. It will go from North America all the way around the world. You'll hit South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and then you come back in theory four years later, refreshed and you've been everywhere. And if you get to a place and you like it, they'll have ways that you could hop on in one place, stay a couple of weeks, hop back on.

00:10:53
Speaker 3: So here's my question for you.

00:10:54
Speaker 2: Obviously, the charge would be absurd, so let's move the charge out of it. Let's say money were no option. If someone offered you that, would you want to do it right?

00:11:08
Speaker 4: No way.

00:11:09
Speaker 5: I've been on several cruises four day, five day. I am so ready to get off that ship after four or five.

00:11:15
Speaker 2: You could get up like they'll stop every couple of days in a place and you can go business twice. You're not on the physical boat the whole time. They're destinations and all of that.

00:11:24
Speaker 4: I couldn't do it.

00:11:25
Speaker 5: I I I would, I would enjoy it for a little a while, but there's no way I can do it for four years.

00:11:30
Speaker 2: You couldn't have not a chance. What if I told you you got to see the entire earth? You would be like since like Magellan, the person who had circumnavigated the world as much as anybody, You would be the most cultured person in your friend group.

00:11:42
Speaker 5: If you can do it within a week, I'm in four years, If you could do the whole world, I'm in, count me in.

00:11:50
Speaker 4: How big do you think the world is?

00:11:52
Speaker 3: That's a different novel than the one we read when we were here around.

00:11:55
Speaker 6: The world the world literally Ryan's.

00:11:58
Speaker 2: Ryan goes tom He tries to get it done? Why not done in seven days? Like I'm here? I went to Germany, then Japan. Okay, would you want to do I have never been on a cruise before.

00:12:12
Speaker 7: The idea of being on a ship stuck with people I don't know sounds absolutely miserable. It sounds like hell. I can maybe tolerate it for two or three days, but four years there is no way. I don't care where you stopped. I would not be able to do that. Okay, what about you? Do you think you could do it? You've been on a cruise.

00:12:28
Speaker 2: I had, well, we went on the KSR cruise Alaska, which was fun. I wouldn't want to be on the cruise part, Okay, leave aside. I wouldn't want to leave, like I wouldn't want to not see my parents for that long.

00:12:45
Speaker 3: But leave that part aside.

00:12:47
Speaker 2: And if you could make it to where I could travel around the world and stay in nice hotels and like drive because I don't I'm with you being on the boat. It's rocky, you know, people, people smell and like they're all packed up next to each other.

00:13:03
Speaker 3: Can you see sick? Take that out.

00:13:05
Speaker 2: The idea of doing something like that, I think would be the most fun thing.

00:13:09
Speaker 6: Tah, the idea of seeing like the You would want.

00:13:12
Speaker 2: To literally be on the boat for that long because I don't really like boats.

00:13:17
Speaker 5: What if they had private jets and they'd fly you from port to port instead.

00:13:20
Speaker 2: Of Yes, that's a completely I mean, that's a different trip. That's you're just basically saying, would you want to live a life.

00:13:27
Speaker 6: Of luxury for four years with a billionaire?

00:13:29
Speaker 4: I still don't know if I could be gone for four years.

00:13:31
Speaker 2: So you're telling me I could give you a private jet that at your disposal, you could go anywhere in the world.

00:13:39
Speaker 3: With the caveat.

00:13:40
Speaker 2: You have to go everywhere in the world, and the jet will fly you there every time.

00:13:45
Speaker 3: You still wouldn't want to do that.

00:13:47
Speaker 2: You'd want to stay so that you can go eat Rodney's in Georgetown.

00:13:52
Speaker 5: I think four years is a lot. I don't know if I can call that long. I'll see my kids my part.

00:13:57
Speaker 3: Okay, let's just assume let your kids and your parents can come.

00:14:00
Speaker 4: Oh well, that's a lot. I don't know if I want my kids along.

00:14:04
Speaker 6: And that's how Ryan retires from radio right there.

00:14:07
Speaker 2: So you wouldn't want So you both don't want to go and leave your kids and parents, but you also don't want them to go with you.

00:14:13
Speaker 5: Now they can come from one leg like we go from Italy to Germany. They can bring along for that.

00:14:18
Speaker 2: Send them back, send them back. Okay, all right, well there you go. A very unique Ryan loves his family a.

00:14:24
Speaker 4: Little bit.

00:14:26
Speaker 3: Sort of twenty two eighty seven.

00:14:30
Speaker 2: The text machine is seven seven two seven four five two five for it is ask Anything Friday.

00:14:35
Speaker 3: We're gonna go through my twelve topics.

00:14:36
Speaker 2: We are here at the Lexington Fire Department. This is Kentucky Sports Radio.

00:14:42
Speaker 3: Warnerback.

00:14:42
Speaker 2: It is Kentucky sports radio here at the Lexington Fire Department.

00:14:47
Speaker 3: Just uh well, first of all, I got a couple comments.

00:14:49
Speaker 2: One person writes, Matt my Son works at the Saint Matthew's Fire Department. Thanks for highlighting all of our firefighters around the state today.

00:14:57
Speaker 3: Yes, big shout out to firefighters.

00:14:59
Speaker 2: I didn't realize how much they did until what's your name again, Sir Ricky told me today. I didn't realize that they went out on all the medical runs, that they all were EMT train. He's also a paramedic, like I didn't realize that they they did all that It was a good thing to learn. And I didn't realize we only have twelve ambulances. We need to fix that.

00:15:19
Speaker 3: Dude.

00:15:19
Speaker 4: These guys are heroes. I mean they are. They put their life on the line every single.

00:15:22
Speaker 3: Day because people like you.

00:15:25
Speaker 4: Your house catches on fire.

00:15:26
Speaker 5: So but you know you're right when you were kids and the firefighter to bring their truck to the elementary school and you're all like wide eyed.

00:15:33
Speaker 2: I was trying my baggy Rose. I was trying my best Shannon to not ask if there was a poll because I knew I knew they probably get asked that all the time, and I was like, I know, that's a corny question.

00:15:44
Speaker 3: So I was kind of looking around hoping to see it. And this new one that doesn't have a pole, so.

00:15:49
Speaker 4: He said, some of the older stations still have one, but.

00:15:51
Speaker 3: They don't have one. So but I wanted to ask.

00:15:53
Speaker 6: Because we wanted to send a Ryan down the pole.

00:15:55
Speaker 2: Well here's and they told me an interesting fact. Here's another interesting fact about fireman and mustache. Why they have so many mustaches, He said, in the late eighteen hundreds. You know, people back then would have the big mustaches, right, oh, yeah, and they learned that like they would take a mustache, they would wet it, okay, get water all on it, then pull like a bandana up and use it when they win it as a way to kind of keep smoke out, so the mustache would actually be wet so that you kept yourself from inhaling smoke. And then it just became a thing associated with firefighters. And he also said that it's generally considered all firefighters will get mustaches, and if you don't get one, the assumption is your wife wouldn't lay you.

00:16:36
Speaker 3: Ooh.

00:16:38
Speaker 6: It's an asset and a fashion statement. Though at the same time.

00:16:41
Speaker 2: But it's also kind of like a scarlet letter if you don't get one, like he's.

00:16:46
Speaker 6: Right, you know who wears the pants exactly right.

00:16:48
Speaker 4: Well, now I'm gonna look every single time and remember that's.

00:16:52
Speaker 3: Next time you see a firefighter out.

00:16:55
Speaker 6: All these guys check out.

00:16:56
Speaker 2: That's exactly right. Next time you see a firefighter without mustache. What do we know, Shan, what's that sound? That's not the sound men? You're whipped?

00:17:07
Speaker 3: I think just the whips. It's good enough. I don't know the cat sound.

00:17:10
Speaker 6: It was necessary.

00:17:15
Speaker 2: Off the rails already good. This is the kind of show. Wait till we go to Seattle. We're on the road and people are not We don't have an audience. I swear we lose ourselves. It happens every time.

00:17:25
Speaker 5: I told Matt, I looked up the weather in Platte, South Dakota for the day we're supposed to be there.

00:17:30
Speaker 4: Very cold, but no snow.

00:17:32
Speaker 2: We've moved, by the way, from Burke, South Dakota to Platte, South Dakota.

00:17:37
Speaker 4: For those of you that's supposed to mean something to me.

00:17:39
Speaker 2: Well, I'm just just for people out there listening. We've moved and we're doing the show off off a ranch in uh in Platte, you know, between Platte and Burke, South Dakota.

00:17:51
Speaker 6: You can drop me off anywhere in the Midwest.

00:17:54
Speaker 2: We're also going to be given a tour of a Native American reservation, which I'm actually kind of excited because I've never been to anything like that.

00:18:02
Speaker 4: That would be cool.

00:18:04
Speaker 2: All right, before we go the phones, Shennon, we're down to eleven topics one through eleven.

00:18:09
Speaker 3: Let's go number three, Atonio Reeves.

00:18:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, how about bout that Antonio Reeves? Last night thirty four points fourteen of twenty five shooting, only.

00:18:22
Speaker 3: Made one three.

00:18:23
Speaker 4: That's what's amazing to me.

00:18:24
Speaker 2: Thirty four points only made one three. Now, the Pelicans, like their top four players were injured, so they just were kind of play. It was and they're playing the best team in the league, so it was kind of like, we're not gonna have a chance. They gave him run though, and I watched some of the game. The dude played amazing, like amazing. He was smooth, got to the rim. The announcers were going crazy. They started calling him Huggy Bear for some reason that I didn't understand. The announcer just goes. I like to give nicknames. I'm calling him Huggy Bear, and I've been Antonio Reeves was like, do I.

00:18:59
Speaker 3: Get a saying this?

00:19:01
Speaker 2: I always believed it was ridiculous that dude went in the second round, and then I found out the coach for the Pelicans in charge of working with rookies is Jody Meeks, which means Antonio Reeves has been working with Jody Meeks and it pays off with thirty four points.

00:19:18
Speaker 5: When I saw that he had scored thirty four points, I just naturally assumed he hit seven or eight threes. I couldn't believe he just hit one three. So hopefully he's earnedy striped and they'll keep him on the roster when these guys come back.

00:19:28
Speaker 2: You gotta think he at least makes the roster. Shit, I would say, you gotta think he makes the rotation thirty four points.

00:19:34
Speaker 7: I cannot be happier for him. We all knew he was going to get his opportunity at some point. The question is when you get that opportunity, do you shine or do you not? And in this case, he was. I mean, he could have been better than he was.

00:19:45
Speaker 2: It's love to see he wasn't scared right clearly, Like I know it was a game they got destroyed and they're playing with a team that's but he wasn't scared. He got in and he looked like he was he was feeling it. And I saw there have been four rookies get thirty points the game. One's Dalton Connect who's been killing it with the Lakers, One's Jared McClain who's been killing it with the seventy six ers. One is uh Resa Shay, who was the number one overall pick, and now Antonio Reeves. And I feel like that's pretty good company to be a guy who's like probably gonna be the rookie of the year in Dalton Connect, a guy in McClain who's played great, and then the number one pick. If I'm Antonio Reeves, I'm the only dude not picked in the first round on that list.

00:20:25
Speaker 3: I got to be pretty happy.

00:20:27
Speaker 5: Yeah, he and he's got to probably known that, you know, play with the chip on my shoulder. I got to prove these people I deserve to be up here. I deserve to be on the roster. So hopefully he'll he'll stay thishel.

00:20:36
Speaker 2: I think the NBA has got to realize, like the bias against older players, why those are the ones that are killing it this year.

00:20:42
Speaker 7: Sit, Yeah, he's more mature and uh, I mean that's an absolute still to take him in his second round forty those teams that passed him by looking foolish after last week, by the.

00:20:51
Speaker 2: Way, he had like twenty at halftime. I mean it was it really was an unbelievable performance. Who's up first?

00:20:57
Speaker 6: Steve?

00:20:58
Speaker 4: Is up first?

00:20:59
Speaker 3: Steve? What's up? Steve?

00:21:00
Speaker 2: I'd ask anything Thursday? I think I called it like four different days in the last segment.

00:21:06
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's the first time you got the day right. I was making sure to check my calendar there for a minute. But uh yeah, first shout out to my brother Ricky there with the beautiful mustache.

00:21:16
Speaker 3: The tour, yes.

00:21:19
Speaker 8: Yeah, uh yeah, he's a great guy. But appreciate all the fireman Lexington and around the state and throughout the country. But uh, on my way to Austin, currently drinking beer and we're out right now, excited for the trip the car.

00:21:36
Speaker 10: Okay, let's put your phone down, yeah yeah, and your beer done?

00:21:41
Speaker 8: Yeah. Uh but my question is, you know, Mad, we know you can beat up like ninety three year old ladies on cycling and uh, you think you can put on some fire some fire gear and do uh do some of their tests.

00:21:53
Speaker 2: Now that's very There's very few jobs that I would be worse at than this. I actually think I would be a better police officer than this, because at least you need to know the law. Like I might not be a guy you send on the tough runs, but I could figure out, like how do we collect evidence and stuff. I don't think there's anything these people do that I would be good at.

00:22:12
Speaker 6: You can drive, maybe.

00:22:14
Speaker 3: Okay, Yes, appreciate the appreciate the call.

00:22:20
Speaker 2: The idea that now you got me excited, the idea that I could take one of these rigs, put the siren on.

00:22:27
Speaker 3: People got to get out of the way, and I can swerve.

00:22:30
Speaker 2: In and out of lanes. Now you're right. If I could drive only once I get there, I leave.

00:22:37
Speaker 6: Could you this big truck? Yes you could.

00:22:40
Speaker 3: I could.

00:22:40
Speaker 2: But when it comes to like going in the house, no, the blood no. But if it was driver only, Ryan, Now I'm excited.

00:22:49
Speaker 4: We just found your dream job. Be able to get through traffic anyway you want to.

00:22:52
Speaker 3: Get out of my way, out of the way.

00:22:54
Speaker 4: That would be awesome.

00:22:55
Speaker 2: We'll take a break, be right back here at the Election Fire Department. It's Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome back, takey Sports Radio eight. I'm nine two twenty two eighty seven at the Lexington Fire Department where they are still taking applications until November twenty fifth to join these fine men and women and helping uh keep our city safe. You got to learn more on Twitter LFD hiring dot com or not lft hired dot com, just l FD hiring. We got folks riding in on the text machine and to ask anything. Thursday, I tell you what you know instead of me selecting them, Shannon, give me a one through nine, Give me a number eight, number eight. Does the fire station where you're at have a Dalmatian? No dalmat They're ceramic. So that's the thing you see in like movies and stuff, and they and they put the little hat on them and all that.

00:23:52
Speaker 4: I don't know the origin of that. I guess just from you do.

00:23:55
Speaker 3: He'll tell me during the prank. We'll get the origin.

00:23:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, the do people have Dalmatians in real life?

00:24:06
Speaker 4: My brother had two.

00:24:09
Speaker 6: Where do you think they all go?

00:24:10
Speaker 2: But I've never seen one in someone's house. Do you know someone with the Dalmatian? No?

00:24:14
Speaker 3: But I mean, okay, I understand theoretically they exist.

00:24:17
Speaker 2: I'm asking you, have ever seen anyone who had a Dalmatian?

00:24:23
Speaker 4: Yeah? My brother had two.

00:24:24
Speaker 2: Okay, so that's the answer. Why is everybody I click, that's this terre. So you've you you've seen your brother had too?

00:24:29
Speaker 4: Yeah?

00:24:29
Speaker 3: Are they hard to Are they expensive? Are they hard to get?

00:24:32
Speaker 4: I don't think so? But they're pretty high strung some of them.

00:24:35
Speaker 3: Are they?

00:24:35
Speaker 4: Yeah?

00:24:36
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, give me you you pick one one.

00:24:38
Speaker 4: Through not uh number four?

00:24:41
Speaker 3: Number four?

00:24:42
Speaker 2: H Let's see, Matt, you own a wrestling company, lawyer, radio personality. How rich is uncle Matt? That's not very nice question. Yeah, people you don't talk about people who have You don't talk about money. Like when somebody tells you how much money they haven't as to me, they don't have money. People who have money, they don't tell you how much money they have because that's not like, that's not kuth. So when I see when I hear personalities like oh.

00:25:09
Speaker 3: I got so much money, then I'm like, well, you don't have any money.

00:25:13
Speaker 4: People who have money still have to pay their bills.

00:25:15
Speaker 3: So they know what you have.

00:25:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, like right, yeah, you shouldn't have got bills to pay.

00:25:20
Speaker 7: And I just sent out that picture. You look good at the helmet on there, Matt. He looked almost like a picture. Yeah, no, I mean it looks good. I'm being serious.

00:25:28
Speaker 2: Look Oh yeah, definitely looks I definitely look.

00:25:33
Speaker 4: He looks like he's twelve.

00:25:34
Speaker 2: Thank you for thank you for putting that out. I appreciate that. I was I was hoping.

00:25:39
Speaker 10: That would trying to give you a cople of man. Yeah, I don't think a minute. Come on, now, that was just that's terrible. Why do you have to do that? All right, let's look one through. Well, actually, let's take a couple of calls. Who's up next?

00:25:51
Speaker 3: Mike is up next? Mike, go ahead, Mike, Good morning, Matt.

00:25:58
Speaker 11: I wanted to go back to Yeah, I wanted to go back to the kind of the Duke game. Do you guys feel that you're I still hate Duke, but is your hatred of Duke not as much because mine was really seated in my hatred of coach k. The other one was the fact that they have just now that they have a pretty much eliminated the charge, and that all that flopping. You know, you don't see that with Duke anymore, and that's that's nice to see.

00:26:29
Speaker 2: I think it's really by the way, for those of who hearing the sound they're backing a fire truck in here, I actually think that's.

00:26:35
Speaker 3: A good point. I appreciate the call.

00:26:36
Speaker 2: I don't necessarily hate Duke as much as I used to. I don't like them, but there was a time I like passionately wanted them to lose every game, and I don't think about it like that.

00:26:49
Speaker 3: And probably as coach.

00:26:50
Speaker 2: Gay's gone, they also get a different kind of player.

00:26:53
Speaker 3: I always thought they had a player for many years that.

00:26:56
Speaker 2: To me was the most annoying kind of player, And now they're kind of recruiting top talent. So I dislike them, but I don't know that I hate them like I did in the k Era.

00:27:06
Speaker 5: Yeah, they don't have those snotty dudes that were easy to dislike anymore.

00:27:10
Speaker 3: You know.

00:27:11
Speaker 5: I think even when they had Zion and RJ. Barrett, they were they were a fun team to watch that year, you know, well.

00:27:17
Speaker 2: They definitely were. I wanted them to lose that year too. Also, they I think the fact Shandon they haven't been as dominant. Yeah, I mean they're still very good, but they're not the dominant program as they were for many years. That also helped.

00:27:28
Speaker 6: Super Flex and kind of snotty to me. I didn't like them.

00:27:31
Speaker 4: He isging them the other day.

00:27:32
Speaker 7: He's good, but it's good to me. It's Duke, and it always will be Duke, and will always hate Duke.

00:27:37
Speaker 3: I mean, there's still my third biggest hated team.

00:27:41
Speaker 2: It's still Louisville Tennessee Duke, although this year, honestly it's probably Arkansas Louisville Tennessee. It's interesting, maybe Louisville Arkansas Tennessee. Like when Arkansas plays Tennessee, who are you going.

00:27:55
Speaker 4: To be for Tennessee? Probably I think I'm in a.

00:27:59
Speaker 2: Room for tennis I am, which is crazy, but I think I am. If Arkansas played Louisville, I think I'd root for Louisville this year. I don't think it'll be like that every I honestly think I would, which is crazy for me to think about.

00:28:15
Speaker 3: But if Arkansas was playing Louisville.

00:28:18
Speaker 2: I mean, Tennessee played Louisville a couple weeks ago, and as I watched the game, I was pulling for Tennessee. So it's clear to me. I like, like, I hate Louisville more than I hate Tennessee. But I kind of think if Arkansas was playing them this year, I think I would cheer for Tennessee and Louisville.

00:28:36
Speaker 5: Ryan, I think you have to you have to want Arkansas to lose, especially if they're playing Louisville. We're gonna beat Louisville that you know, they're not very good. You want Louisville to upset and beat a good Arkansas team.

00:28:49
Speaker 7: But you want everybody on Arkansas to do well because of their former players.

00:28:52
Speaker 12: Here.

00:28:52
Speaker 6: You said it just a couple of weeks ago.

00:28:53
Speaker 4: I said, I found myself pulling for him.

00:28:55
Speaker 7: A negative for me, though, Like I've always hated Arkansas, going back to the nineties, Nola originally, Yeah, williams Id always hated Scotti, Thurm and hated all those guys. So for me, I've you know, it's nothing new. I just hate them a little bit more now that Calipari is the coach.

00:29:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is interesting. Who's next?

00:29:09
Speaker 4: Bill is up next?

00:29:10
Speaker 3: Bill? Go ahead, Bill, Good morning, guys.

00:29:14
Speaker 9: I had just a quick point and then a question Matt about the milk but I want you to answer first. Okay, I would argue yesterday, yesterday Drew made the point of ask where he asked where we were at in the good, great, good drunk. I would ask you that we probably went through all three phases with cal We were great at the beginning, we tapered off the good and most of us had to be drunk to watch the last few years.

00:29:38
Speaker 3: Okay, there you go. I like it. That's a good whiskey thief call today. Go ahead.

00:29:44
Speaker 9: And then secondly, I have to know if I'm a psychopath or not. I have a one year old that's about to turn two, and she drinks milk and night. Sometimes she wakes up at two in the morning and I take a big couple of chugs out of the jug. Am I Am I a psycho path or not?

00:29:57
Speaker 2: Because it's the middle of the you're up, you're just grabbing something. Yeah, I wouldn't put you in cycle path territory. I would be watching you a little bit to make sure. But oh, if you, however, fit was eight o'clock and you're like Kentucky's playing basketball, Honey, poured me a glass of milk, then we're in the cycle path territory.

00:30:20
Speaker 4: He said something that I'm gonna ask.

00:30:21
Speaker 3: You appreciate the call.

00:30:23
Speaker 5: He said, he took a couple of swigs out of the jug. Are you okay if you're at your own family if you take a straight out of the jug and then put the jug back in the refrigerator or you want to add to port in a glass.

00:30:34
Speaker 7: Also, milk that you drink as a baby is formula milk. I would think that adults not drinking formula milk. He maybe it's like going, I'm okay with it.

00:30:43
Speaker 2: Like, you know, I'm not married, So if it was my house, then that's fine. The jug, put the jug back, I'm fine with it, all right, Channon one through ten?

00:30:51
Speaker 4: All right?

00:30:52
Speaker 6: Uh number one?

00:30:53
Speaker 2: Number one, Well, it's gonna be a little bit of a longer conversation, but uh Mark Oops. Yesterday said that he wanted everyone to be clear that he while he doesn't love the new nil era, he's ready for it and he's ready to figure out how to do it. It felt like to me a response to if not me specifically, but people like me saying dude, are you ready for this era or not? He seemed to almost directly address that yesterday very sort of direct comments like I get this is what it is and it's time to go get it. After the show yesterday, you know, I talked yesterday about boosters in the fact that if you give money, et cetera. I had somebody tell me something that I did not know, but somebody that's involved in the NIL space for UK, specifically on the football side more than the basketball okay, that said to me that Eddie Grant, who kind of is heading up INIL efforts for UK, has secured I guess promises or contracts, I don't know specific phrase, but with companies to create a consistent company in ile like kind of what we thought in IO would be, where people did endorsements of up to two million dollars a year of pledges that they don't think it's sustainable long term to go to individuals and ask for one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand dollars, but that companies could use it for advertising, et cetera, and they feel good that UK is doing that so that it can go over a period of time. I thought that sounded like really good news, but also news that says Stoops probably ain't going anywhere if he's securing corporate funding for the next few.

00:32:34
Speaker 5: Years makes total sense, doesn't it when you think of it like that. And yeah, it does seem like if they're gonna make that effort to try to secure that money, that's pretty security for him to want to stay here and keep coaching.

00:32:46
Speaker 2: And just leave Stoops out of it. The corporate route is the route because you can't just keep going to individuals and going give me a million dollars, give me. I mean, there's gonna come a point, especially when you go four and eight, where people are gonna go, I ain't gonna continue to give you this money to beat Murray State.

00:33:01
Speaker 4: That's not sustainable long term.

00:33:03
Speaker 7: But that's something that I needed to hear from Stoops that he is going to be in it for the long run, because you know, everything that we've been hearing sounds like a tired, beaten down coach who just doesn't like the nil situation.

00:33:14
Speaker 6: It's not going anywhere, so you might as well adapt.

00:33:15
Speaker 2: I was leaning a few weeks ago to I thought this would be his last year. Unless he's just lying. All of his statements are going in the other direction.

00:33:24
Speaker 3: Yep.

00:33:24
Speaker 2: So now I now would say I lean towards him being back. But I will say, man, for the fan base, these next couple of weeks are gonna be big just how they play. I think beating Louisville's gonna be huge. If they lose to Louisville, especially considering that Louisville has kind of not had the year Louisville thought they would, I don't think that'll be great. This segment is sponsored by Pelican Technologies. Remember Pelican technologiests what do you know about the way.

00:34:52
Speaker 2: Welcome back, idiots, Kentucky Sports Radio here at the Lexington Fire Department. Lexifire Department has excellent benefits. You get paid why training at the academy that's good, and twenty four hours on forty eight hours off schedule. I think I would like the twenty four hours on forty eight hours. You get to two days where you're not not working, and then during the twenty four hours, Shannon, it's almost like a sleepover.

00:35:16
Speaker 7: Right, Yeah, I can I have a lot of fun while you're just waiting in between calls here. Yeah, just get the basketball game going here. Somebody already bet that repute.

00:35:22
Speaker 2: I would say, somebody needs to fix the goal. It's a little crooking, but that's all right. Otherwise would be fun. Now I see a guy over there, no mustache, no mustache.

00:35:31
Speaker 6: Which are you married, sir?

00:35:33
Speaker 3: Which? No, sir?

00:35:35
Speaker 2: So he's still scout. I think he's got more options. He's got what you just can't see.

00:35:42
Speaker 4: It's got a billion mustache.

00:35:45
Speaker 2: He's got a billion mustache. That's all right, you know what. Don't let him pick on you, sir. I couldn't grow a mustache either. I wouldn't do that. Let's go the text machine. So to be fair to people, let's go Shannon one through nine. All right, number seven, number seven. I would like to know from all of you, what is the amount of money you think makes someone rich?

00:36:09
Speaker 4: It's interesting, what do you think, Shannon?

00:36:11
Speaker 8: Like?

00:36:11
Speaker 2: How much money would someone have to be worth for you to consider them rich?

00:36:15
Speaker 7: One million dollars you'd have to be a millionaire. But I realize, you know, but I realized there are millions of millionaires that exist.

00:36:23
Speaker 6: So it's so it's not really.

00:36:25
Speaker 3: The millions in America.

00:36:27
Speaker 7: I don't know if I mean worldwide, worldwide, worldwide, So I don't know that being a millionaire means what it did?

00:36:33
Speaker 4: You know twenty thirty years ago.

00:36:34
Speaker 3: You would stay still saying yeah, R about you.

00:36:36
Speaker 4: That's the first number I thought of.

00:36:38
Speaker 5: Then I got to thinking, you know, you can be if you have half a million and you're happy, you're rich to me, please, But what makes them rich?

00:36:47
Speaker 10: Well?

00:36:48
Speaker 2: I mean there's people though, who are happy who have no money is are they a million?

00:36:53
Speaker 3: Are they rich too?

00:36:54
Speaker 4: In their heart?

00:36:55
Speaker 2: Reminds me of the woman in Middlesbrough who I had a friend in Middlesborough. I'm not gonna say aybody's name because some of that family listens to this show. But I had a friend who one time, he moved from from Catholic private school to public school and his family was a little worried, like are the public school kids gonna think he's stuck up for being a private school.

00:37:17
Speaker 3: So I was friends with him.

00:37:19
Speaker 2: He got to the public school, which I had been in the whole time, and.

00:37:23
Speaker 3: Most people were very nice to him, but some of them were kind of picking at him.

00:37:26
Speaker 2: And there was one dude in particular that was kind of bullying him a little bit and called him a rich boy. He's like, hey, rich boy in Middlesborough. That was kind of put down. He joined me a rich boy in Middlesborough. So after school we were like in seventh grade, and after school we go to his house and they say that, you know, his mom was like, why do you like Middlesbrough Middle School? And he was like it's all right. He was like this one kid calls me a rich boy. His mom looked at him and said, the next time he says that to you, you say, it doesn't matter whether I'm rich in money, I'm rich in friendship, love and happiness. Getting beat up and my friend Kevin goes, you don't say that.

00:38:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, that getting beat up.

00:38:18
Speaker 3: That would definitely have gotten well.

00:38:21
Speaker 6: But when we say a million, does that mean you got to have a million dollars in your bank account or you have all?

00:38:26
Speaker 3: That would mean you're liquid? Yeah, a million dollars, that would mean you're liquid. But I think when they do worth, it's what you overall.

00:38:33
Speaker 4: Your work minus liabilities.

00:38:35
Speaker 2: So like the equity in your house is in that kind of thing you get all right, who's up next?

00:38:39
Speaker 7: So a couple of millionaires sitting next to me right now?

00:38:42
Speaker 2: All I mean, the fire department may have taken some of his, but go ahead.

00:38:48
Speaker 8: Uh.

00:38:49
Speaker 3: Sean from Austin is up next, Sean, go ahead, Shan, What are you talking about?

00:38:52
Speaker 6: You want?

00:38:53
Speaker 8: What?

00:38:53
Speaker 3: Six houses? It's shut up, Shannon, Sean, go ahead.

00:38:56
Speaker 12: A lot of dead Hey guys, Hey, I'm I'm super excited to go to my first UK game this Saturday, and I think I'm gonna be wearing my cask here out there. I want to link up at you guys, just check in, say hi, where can.

00:39:08
Speaker 3: I find you?

00:39:09
Speaker 2: Well, Drew will be there Saturday, we will not so I so we we're gonna we're staying here, Drew. But Drew is in Austin, and I'm sure he'll send out where he is at some point, but he'll be down there.

00:39:23
Speaker 12: Okay, right on, Drew, if you need to hook up, give me a give me a shout.

00:39:28
Speaker 3: All right, appreciate the call. How about this so we'll talk.

00:39:32
Speaker 2: Well, let's let's mention about the Texas game. First of all, I got sent a picture from the Louisville Airport security line this morning. I'd say half the people.

00:39:41
Speaker 3: In line were wearing blue, no kidding. So that says to.

00:39:44
Speaker 2: Me maybe a decent little crowd of people going to Austin. But the craziest statistic of all, and this has even gone nationally, is the game Saturday will be the farthest west Kentucky has ever played a football game in its history. Never realize that never played a game west of Austin.

00:40:02
Speaker 6: That's crazy.

00:40:02
Speaker 4: It is crazy, isn't that? Its history?

00:40:04
Speaker 3: So?

00:40:04
Speaker 4: What was the previous farm Columbia, Missouri Austin.

00:40:07
Speaker 2: They played there in nineteen fifty one, they did, but but besides that, they've never played farther west than than Austin.

00:40:15
Speaker 7: They played a couple of Pack twelve teams, but it was in Kentucky, so.

00:40:19
Speaker 2: Never So, I mean, that's kind of amazing because there's a lot of country out there.

00:40:24
Speaker 3: And we've just never gone past Austin.

00:40:27
Speaker 4: Texas. They think maybe even just in a bowl game, but if you.

00:40:31
Speaker 3: Think about it, the SEC Bowls are never out there.

00:40:35
Speaker 2: You know, we're now the SEC plays in the Las Vegas Bowls, so potentially you could go to Las Vegas, but for the most part, never never been there.

00:40:44
Speaker 6: So to Venturetta a little bit more.

00:40:45
Speaker 2: Well, we're venturing to Seattle on the that's true basketball in a couple of weeks. Are you you know we've never played Texas? Are you excited to add that to our rotation next year? Of course they're coming here.

00:40:56
Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt about it.

00:40:57
Speaker 5: And I think that's why there's a lot of blue and line at the airport going because when that schedule came out and people saw they were going to Texas, never been so I think people flooded bought tickets right then when through the schedule came out because they want to go. When the first time we went to Texas, A and M, we had a big crowd, you know, now we're going the first time we going to Texas, there'll be a big crowd.

00:41:14
Speaker 4: First time I go to Oklahoma, they'll probably be a big crowd.

00:41:16
Speaker 7: Do you think this is more of a reflection of the location they're playing at or do you think it's more of the fans are still on board.

00:41:23
Speaker 4: No, I think the.

00:41:23
Speaker 2: First time we go to Oklahoma it'll be the same way. I think there'll be a lot of people. You know, I think, especially for the football fans, there's a lot of people who want to go to every stadium as a as a football fan right in the sec and you know, they've had their lifetime to go to the other ones, and we've never done this one. So I think they'll there's a big crowd that are going to this one. And I think in a couple of years when we play Oklahoma for the first time, you'll see a big crowd. Go to Norman, I've actually Oklahoma is one of the biggest schools in the country. I've never been to, so I plan on going either to the you know, they played there in basketball this year. I've thought about going this year because I've never been there.

00:42:02
Speaker 6: You know, I feel good about the game.

00:42:03
Speaker 7: I don't think that they're gonna win, but twenty and a half feels like a lot of points.

00:42:06
Speaker 3: It certainly does. We're gonna take a break and come back.

00:42:08
Speaker 2: It is our number two here at the Lexington Fire Department learning how to be a fireman.

00:42:13
Speaker 3: We'll be right back
