We are celebrating the start of a new five year period. People are writing in the first time they heard KSR, like the one person says, Matt, I saw you at Johnny the Freaks remote at Jock's Bar and Grill in two thousand and seven.

00:01:31
Speaker 5: Boys, Shannon, there's a dude from the past. Wow, Johnny Jo you said Jock's Jocks.

00:01:36
Speaker 4: Yeah, Johnny the Freak used to be out there all the time, and I was out there sometimes as well, to all those stoars that we used to do the show longheads right us on Dixon one.

00:01:49
Speaker 5: Yes, Uh, what's the one that's out there?

00:01:51
Speaker 4: It's on on Newburgh or not Newburg, Norris Boulevard next to Bullermot Bellerman.

00:01:57
Speaker 3: What's the name of it, oh, Shenanigans.

00:02:00
Speaker 4: Yeah. We used to always do it at the other Shenanigans, which I always thought was a great name for a place.

00:02:06
Speaker 6: I like when you you hear from people that remember the first remote we did a beer nose at a handful of people that were there that day.

00:02:12
Speaker 4: Yeah, one person writes, I remember I started listening when the Harrison Twins came back to your afternoon show that day. Remember we got the dude with the great voice for iHeart to cut promos, one of which was first they split a zygo, now they're splitting double teams.

00:02:27
Speaker 5: The Harrison Twins are back at Kentucky.

00:02:30
Speaker 7: People come of it gets lost in history, the phenomenon of the Harrison Twins coming back. Remember they keep calm, the Twins are coming back. Let's just play a little memory game.

00:02:39
Speaker 4: What are the guys that came back that their decision to come back captivated the fan base the most.

00:02:48
Speaker 5: The Harrison Twins are definitely there.

00:02:50
Speaker 4: I've got a sleeper one that I'm will wait because people won't remember it, but you should. The Harrison Twins is a really good one. Who else did we like on the edge of our seat to see if they were gonna come back?

00:03:04
Speaker 7: Well, we stayed up all night for Hamadu Diallo.

00:03:06
Speaker 5: That's the one I was gonna say.

00:03:08
Speaker 7: He overslept something like.

00:03:10
Speaker 4: That and he missed the deadline and it was like two in the morning and we were all hitting refresh.

00:03:16
Speaker 5: On Hamma du Diallo is a great one.

00:03:19
Speaker 7: Well, I hit refreshed like many others every two seconds from about noon till after midnight. I didn't take my eyes off Twitter.

00:03:25
Speaker 4: That might be the answer, Like that one might be the answer, even like go back before that to the Tubby era. Were there guys that you were that you can remember us going will they will? They will they not? Tayshawn Prince was a big one his senior year. People weren't sure if he would come back or not.

00:03:40
Speaker 6: Jamal McLure was probably the biggest one. That was a big deal when he decided to come back ahead of press conference and ountil he'd come back for his fourth season.

00:03:47
Speaker 4: Jamal, that's a good call. Yeah, Actually, Jamal mcglure is a very good one.

00:03:52
Speaker 6: Yeah.

00:03:52
Speaker 4: I do wonder if Diallo is the answer, though, I think Diallo might have been the one that Well.

00:03:57
Speaker 7: We've had similar where they're up against the deadline. Even Jackson Robinson went to the deadline, but with Diallo, since the deadline passed, it got even crazier there for an hour, We're like, well, what does this mean? He didn't do anything?

00:04:07
Speaker 4: Oscar Oscar Oscar was a big one whether or not Oscar was going to return, and then he did.

00:04:13
Speaker 7: Willie was kind of covered up by the Twins that one year, you know, he had the injury. Just told us recently he was going to go till he had the injury.

00:04:19
Speaker 5: The Twins was.

00:04:21
Speaker 4: One of the very if you go back in history, there's only been two times so back when I.

00:04:27
Speaker 5: Would talk to Cal about recruits.

00:04:28
Speaker 4: So I would talk to Cal about recruits from about twenty seventeen to about twenty eighteen, and I had a really good idea of where they were going. There's only twice that I think Cal was wrong. Would you like to know the two times that I think.

00:04:43
Speaker 7: Well, one was in nineteen seventy eight and he studied a few tops.

00:04:46
Speaker 4: But there were two times that Cal thought a recruit was going to do something they did something different. Do you know the recruit that didn't come here that Cal was one hundred percent certain would and was surprised by the announcement the announcement he did not no at the moment of the announcement.

00:05:02
Speaker 7: I can think of two that really shocked him. One was Zion in game, because I just thought it was going to do excuse me, Clemson or something else.

00:05:11
Speaker 4: So I don't think he thought, but there was one about Shabbaz Mohammads. He thought Shabaz Muhammad was gonna come here, and then the guy did the announcement on TV because Cal set up a little behind the scenes. Cal set up the ESPN special for Neurlan's and Shabbaz, and the idea was that they both were gonna pick Kentucky. Remember Nerlin shaved it into his hair. They were both supposed to pick Kentucky. And then Shabbaz picked U. C.

00:05:37
Speaker 7: L A on the special and Muhammad was like a generational talent. They thought at the time. Now that that didn't pan out and he got in a little trouble. It might have been a blessing, but at the moment everybody thought that was a lock.

00:05:47
Speaker 5: And then the other was the twins.

00:05:49
Speaker 6: Yeah, he was.

00:05:50
Speaker 4: I talked I don't know what time of day they decided, but I talked to him. You know how you sometimes have memories in your head. I talked to him in the McDonald's drive through before KSR that morning, and he thought they were going to go to Maryland because of like under under her or something like that, and then I guess later in the day they switched, but that was the one. And then he thought Andrew Wiggins was gonna go to Florida State.

00:06:17
Speaker 5: And remember Mike Pratt was the everybody was.

00:06:20
Speaker 4: Saying Kentucky, Florida State or Duke, and then Mike Pratt was like, I think it's gonna be Kansas and it ended up Mike Pratt was like that in correct on that.

00:06:29
Speaker 7: So we can go way back. This is a deep cut not many people get. Do you remember Nocilla draw on Instagram? It was backwards for her name that she saw Wiggins at a bar in Florida State. She basically said, he's not coming or something. You're talking about the girl that went to Florida like broke a story unintentionally, like just posted met Andrew Wiggins, He's not coming here or something like that, and she kind of went viral for before you could even really go vie, I don't remember what.

00:06:51
Speaker 5: Wow, unbelievable. That is a great Memory's.

00:06:54
Speaker 7: Back when recruiting, we would hang on to every little thing because we weren't used to being spoiled by getting everybody at the time.

00:06:59
Speaker 6: There's been a couple shows where we actually went past twelve to cover makes me cover the announcement of somebody. Yeah, Wiggins was one of them, all.

00:07:07
Speaker 4: Right, I've got a Saint Johns shirt on. Rick Patino and Saint John's are now number eight in the country. Are you shocked? They swept Yukon for the first time in twenty five years, sold the garden out on Sunday? The New York talk shows are talking about Saint John's as much as they're talking about the Knicks.

00:07:27
Speaker 5: Are you surprised?

00:07:28
Speaker 4: I mean, I think Rick probably hoped that would happen, but are you surprised it's happening.

00:07:33
Speaker 6: I'm surprised that they're this good. I'm on with you, and I knew Patina would eventually build them back up, But man, I've watched them a couple of games. They're good. I want no part of them in March. They get after defensively, those guys can really play, so they could be a dangerous team in March. For sure.

00:07:47
Speaker 7: We all assumed he would do well there, but the turnaround he's done at Saint John's to make them what they are now top ten. I think all their losses combined are by like a total of six points, so even when they've lost. It's been at the very end in the He's made me love him again, just simply because what he's doing to Dan Hurley when Hurley had that thing. Don't you turn your back on me. I'm the best coach in the game. Two weeks ago, I'm so glad Patino is putting him in his place, and it's beating him now twice and Yukon's going the wrong way. I'm still are you rooting for him? Yes? I'm still iffy on Kentucky wrapping their arms around Patino and welcome back. I mean, I realized I can't stop it. It's already happened. But I have no problem rooting for him at Saint John's against teams like Yukon.

00:08:26
Speaker 5: See.

00:08:26
Speaker 4: I think they're actually a pretty fun team to watch. What's crazy is they can't shoot. I mean Rick Patino, who like built his entire career on this idea of shooting threes. The one thing his team doesn't can't do is shoot, But everything else they're really good at.

00:08:39
Speaker 5: You know that dude has some magic about him.

00:08:44
Speaker 4: Man, Like I've hated I've disliked him for so long, and then there's this moment where after Mark Pope, it was like we were all allowed to like him again. And now you can see his charm. I mean, like there's this charm back with the suit and the you know, you see the motivational speeches and you like, all.

00:09:02
Speaker 5: Right, I guess he won me over again.

00:09:04
Speaker 2: Right.

00:09:04
Speaker 7: He's still full of it though. Did you see the clip of him lying to his son Richard's like, you're lying to me right now. It's in the new documentary. He says, carry Richmond won't play. He's the most injured player I've ever have, And Richard says He's gonna play. You are lying to me. It's like this clip's just showing him still being.

00:09:18
Speaker 5: He's still a huge liar.

00:09:19
Speaker 6: Yeah, but you can't trust anything comes out of that man's mouth. But boy, he can share coach basketball.

00:09:24
Speaker 4: He used to say he's the linest liar that ever lied, and I still believe that's true.

00:09:29
Speaker 7: And now he's like kind of trying to be like telling other schools what to do, like suggesting what Indiana should do, or all the videos he puts out about Kentucky. He's trying to just kind of be like bizarre of basketball.

00:09:39
Speaker 4: Any let me ask you when you watch Arkansas, any part of you hope they win? Or are you rooting for them to lose? How many of you all are here when you watch Arkansas? How many of you are rooting for them to lose? How many of you are rooting for them to win? How many of you don't care? Well, you don't like sports, so I understand you're not. So everybody is either rooting for him to lose or it's too scared to vote.

00:10:09
Speaker 5: I'd meant I want him to lose? Is that bad?

00:10:12
Speaker 2: No?

00:10:13
Speaker 6: I told you. I told both because I've watched the two episodes of the documentary that's come out, and it's it's really good because they did it such a good job putting it together. But I find myself pulling for those three kids, though DJ and big Z and A do.

00:10:26
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't.

00:10:27
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't want them to fail, but like I don't want them to win.

00:10:30
Speaker 5: You don't want them to win.

00:10:30
Speaker 6: Not to win, But I find myself pulling for him.

00:10:32
Speaker 5: Do you want them to each have twenty points and lose?

00:10:35
Speaker 6: That would be good?

00:10:36
Speaker 7: Okay, I get that a little bit when I watched them it's been a while, but big Z was just he had like four threes in a row. I found myself grinned and very happy for Big Z even though I wanted them to lose that game. I couldn't help but be happy for the former Kentucky players. I think the dude had a big dog that I was rooting for him. But in the end, I want them to lose by sixty.

00:10:54
Speaker 5: Yeah.

00:10:55
Speaker 6: You know in this documentary they show Chin Coleman doing a lot of coaching. I mean a lot of it's gotten out of control.

00:11:01
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, that's that's how you know they had an editorial control. Is they saw Chin Coleman doing coach a lot of They didn't have anything of him like hanging out at jeffryb No.

00:11:14
Speaker 7: No, it's I have heard that the Kentucky Wind seems like a Chin Coleman piece almost to be like kind of a little extra dig to Kentucky. Fans can watch it if you want.

00:11:24
Speaker 5: I'm not watching.

00:11:26
Speaker 6: I can't.

00:11:27
Speaker 4: It's like it's like watching a replay of a game you lot, Like, I don't know, how how could you watch a game we lost? I can't watch, Like I've never watched the UK Wisconsin game again, Like I can't you know, I can't watch that we lost.

00:11:41
Speaker 7: I'm not watching.

00:11:41
Speaker 6: That was tough. But they followed him to Dunkin Donuts and he had with Joey Plumbo, and I mean, that's nice.

00:11:46
Speaker 5: I'm glad he got a good donut. But like, I can't, I can't watch. I'm not watching it.

00:11:51
Speaker 7: We want to watch it, Yeah, it's completely about I don't want to. I don't need to revisit it. Totally agree with you on that. If we won, we watched, I'm not watching it.

00:11:58
Speaker 5: If we lost. Who's next, Michael, Michael, go ahead, Michael, Hey, Garri.

00:12:04
Speaker 8: Fix to tak him a call, got a couple comments and a couple of questions. Bear with me. First off, Arkansas, give me give.

00:12:12
Speaker 5: Me your best, give me your best one or two. We don't have. We don't do four, So go ahead.

00:12:18
Speaker 8: No way do we let Arkansas win? Do we want them to win? Uh Otega o way? He only there's only one teammate that he that's left on the team that he knows, uh uh Amari. We he's not good when he gets uh when he gets uh tired, because he knows, he starts getting his bad body language and he makes uh turnovers. A question for you met on congratulations on signing the new country. Does that mean that okay, if you didn't the show was completely canceled or it was just.

00:12:54
Speaker 4: Pers These guys could have Yeah, I appreciate the call. These guys could have gone. I appreciate the call. These guys could have done a show without me. They couldn't have, unfortunately called it KSR because we own that, uh that branding. But uh, but yeah, they could have if they'd wanted to. I'm sure, I mean, I'm sure they would. The I Heart would have done something the Ryan Lemon Variety Hour.

00:13:15
Speaker 6: Did in your new deal with iHeart. Did you work out a three month summer vacation this time or anything like that?

00:13:22
Speaker 4: I gave myself. I have won more during the five years. I have one of those that I can do.

00:13:28
Speaker 6: You got that, you got that worked in.

00:13:31
Speaker 5: Yeah, what are you asking? Well, why do you need all these specifics?

00:13:33
Speaker 6: You know, Well, we have to make sure we're ready.

00:13:37
Speaker 4: I mean, you got a couple of years. It's not gonna be it's not gonna be like tomorrow. It's not this summer.

00:13:41
Speaker 7: I mean, you almost had every show, you almost had the variety show.

00:13:44
Speaker 4: You could you could have had a lot of time. Do you think the O Way returning home, do you think that's gonna be a big deal, Like you think there's gonna be any nervousness or any sort of desire to you know, Jackson Robinson kind of had that with Arkansas.

00:13:59
Speaker 7: Do you think there's any of that. It'll be a little something there. You know, Roster's changed so much, but that was his coach, he recruited him. You know, he lived there for two years. But honestly, I think his two point game might be more in the front of his mind now than in the actual homecoming. I'm sure he really wants to come back and have a good game after his one for nine foul out he just had that was so uncharacteristic of them. So he's got two reasons to be motivated.

00:14:21
Speaker 6: Yeah, this comes at the best time, right, you come off that horrible game, and now you're going to play against your old team. It's almost perfect timing.

00:14:26
Speaker 7: For sometimes you can get too work.

00:14:28
Speaker 4: But I was gonna say, I hope he doesn't press I mean, like I you got, I agree with you.

00:14:31
Speaker 5: It comes at a good time if he handles it the right.

00:14:35
Speaker 9: Ye.

00:14:35

It's Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome back is Kentucky Sports Radio. Uh. Two quick questions here Ryan. First of all, did you watch episode two of White Lotus?

00:15:25
Speaker 6: Watched it last night start to finish?

00:15:27
Speaker 5: If if you do, you all that haven't watched it, I'm sorry.

00:15:30
Speaker 4: I just have to have a quick one minute conversation with Ryan Walton Goggins character awesome.

00:15:36
Speaker 6: He's he's kind of a jerk, but yeah, he's very good.

00:15:39
Speaker 4: Hey had a heart of gold during the robbery. He hugged her when it was Oh yeah, right, heart of gold.

00:15:44
Speaker 5: I love the.

00:15:45
Speaker 4: Woman from North Carolina Parker Post. She's such a train wreck. I love it, don't you.

00:15:50
Speaker 6: She's funny, she's everything she says has kind of got a little humor to it.

00:15:54
Speaker 9: All.

00:15:54
Speaker 4: Right, couple little theories just to go, Uh, you know how right before the robbery, did you see who distracted thisecurity guard?

00:16:00
Speaker 5: Did see that it was the Russian? He's part of it.

00:16:02
Speaker 6: I think so too.

00:16:03
Speaker 5: He's definitely part of it somewhere.

00:16:05
Speaker 4: Did you notice how the three friends they keep pairing off into two and then making like like there there's a lot going on there with them, right? And then uh, notice that Greg is Gary now he take it he took a different name.

00:16:18
Speaker 6: I didn't really, I didn't catch that he took.

00:16:19
Speaker 4: A different name. He was Greg and now he's Gary. So like there if something's going on there too, don't you think?

00:16:24
Speaker 6: Well, because the one lady actually comes up and seeing the in the was it the previews of next episode? Like she comes to the table, don't I know you.

00:16:31
Speaker 5: Yes, give you my let me give you my This is my theory.

00:16:34
Speaker 4: Walton Goggins is going to try He's obviously going to try to kill the owner, you know, the owner, because I'm gonna make a prediction.

00:16:42
Speaker 5: The owner killed his dad. You know how he said his dad was murdered. That's it, Ah, that's it. I'm telling you. That's my my prediction.

00:16:51
Speaker 4: The owner of the White Lotus killed Walton Goggin's dad, and now he's trying to go seek revenge. That's my female. The husband that bangkok he just said, I have to go to bang Koka.

00:17:02
Speaker 5: See.

00:17:02
Speaker 6: I like your three a lot better than my mind was. That's his real dad.

00:17:06
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think that's right.

00:17:07
Speaker 4: I thought that too for a minute, but I think now he's going to to try to kill it. I have a question for the women that are listening, because I know you know this is right. They announced that Sydney Sweeney, the actress, she announced her marriage, which was supposed to take place this summer, is being postponed. That means they're never getting together, right, Like, you don't postpone like if a wedding is sad post But that was COVID that you had an excuse. You had an excuse. It was COVID. That's a little different, but non pandemic related. If you postpone your wedding, that means you're not getting married.

00:17:46
Speaker 5: Right.

00:17:47
Speaker 6: They are running that red flag up the flagpole, major red flag.

00:17:50
Speaker 8: There.

00:17:50
Speaker 5: Can you think of any other reason?

00:17:52
Speaker 4: If you already had the day, you already had, the place, you already had that, okay, sir, all right? If the that means something that you're not gonna get married, it's not.

00:18:05
Speaker 7: A good sign. It's not a good sign. Usually when you're getting married, you're supposed to be excited about it. You did all the work and the spreadsheets and all all the nonsense to get it set up. If there's something some funny business.

00:18:15
Speaker 6: Is she an actress?

00:18:17
Speaker 5: You don't know who Sidney Sweeney is?

00:18:18
Speaker 10: No?

00:18:19
Speaker 5: How do you not know who Sidney Sweeney?

00:18:21
Speaker 6: I have no idea who that is.

00:18:22
Speaker 5: She's like the most like it person, Like, how do you not know who she is? And Lotus we were just talking about the white Lotus. She's literally on white loadus.

00:18:31
Speaker 6: Which one is she on white lotus?

00:18:32
Speaker 4: The season on the Mossin Backers, it's the daughter Okay, the blonde girl.

00:18:38
Speaker 6: That's Sidney Sweeney.

00:18:39
Speaker 5: One of the most popular act Yeah, like maybe the most popular actress in the world.

00:18:45
Speaker 6: I've not seen her other than white lotus. I have no idea who she is. I'd say probably most people don't either.

00:18:50
Speaker 4: That's is true. Do you know who Sidney Sweeney is? Okay, I know who Sidney Sweeney is.

00:18:55
Speaker 5: Thank you. Do you know who Sidney Sweeney is?

00:18:57
Speaker 6: Thank you?

00:18:58
Speaker 7: I can even bring up your comment on super Bowl commercial.

00:19:01
Speaker 4: You literally talked about, kind of in a weird way, how attractive she was during the super Bowl commercial.

00:19:07
Speaker 6: Well, anyway, let me go back to my points. Maybe she's got a deal of a lifetime role in a film that she can't turn It's been in a lot of films. Maybe this is like huge, it's gonna be huge, and she didn't.

00:19:18
Speaker 4: Want so you think they're maybe they're not getting married. They got engaged before she was famous. She's not. They're not getting married. You just write she did that movie with Glenn Powell and yeah they were dating because they were, Like I don't know, I can't believe you don't know who she is. Who's next, Shannon?

00:19:37
Speaker 5: You know who she is? Right?

00:19:38
Speaker 3: Never heard of her.

00:19:40
Speaker 7: Oh my goodness, I don't know.

00:19:41
Speaker 3: I don't know who she is.

00:19:42
Speaker 5: This is a.

00:19:43
Speaker 4: Show that Mike Stint is supposed to be a associated with the culture. You don't know who Sidney Sweeney is either her?

00:19:49
Speaker 3: I mean, other than White Lotus?

00:20:57
Speaker 6: A little bit, yeah, a little bit bigger.

00:20:59
Speaker 3: But you could name one other movie she was in.

00:21:03
Speaker 5: Because she's like so famous. I don't need to know she's so famous.

00:21:06
Speaker 3: You don't even know the movies she's in.

00:21:08
Speaker 5: Oh okay, I just don't know the names. They're all like romantic, like love movie.

00:21:24
Speaker 9: Ask them?

00:21:25
Speaker 5: What's going on?

00:21:29
Speaker 12: Well, my first I never knew anything about casts are in Kentucky. Tom moved to Florida in twenty fourteen. Then after we lost Wisconsin, I had called and told you I saw Wisconsin buss and I wanted to pit Man Newbery.

00:21:43
Speaker 5: And uh be careful.

00:21:49
Speaker 12: Also, you you actually taught me how to how to use podcasts. Listen to podcast that day, so I come a long way, couldn't Well.

00:21:59
Speaker 4: Thank you, that's it's uh yeah that I'm glad we were able to do that podcasting when we first started. You they didn't even have like the Spotify, Like you literally had to go to a website downloaded onto your computer and now you know, now it's like the most popular form of media.

00:22:18
Speaker 12: Yep, it's good.

00:22:19
Speaker 7: I appreciate it.

00:22:22
Speaker 5: Thank you.

00:22:22
Speaker 7: I appreciate the call.

00:22:24
Speaker 6: I like he was like, yep, do they monitored the downloads now on a podcast? Like for there for so long they didn't do it? What like we never knew how many people were downloading the podcast.

00:22:35
Speaker 5: Well, they've always had the number. They don't tell us.

00:22:38
Speaker 6: They don't tell us.

00:22:39
Speaker 4: To know because they you know, these companies, they don't. I mean, I think this fair. They don't want you to know how well you're doing because then you'll ask for more money.

00:22:48
Speaker 5: So you just have to like I can tell you just ask for it.

00:22:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can pull up the numbers on the thing that I upload the podcast every day. It has the stats of how many people downloaded to.

00:22:58
Speaker 4: Each but it's those are not one hundred and we're not I was supposed to share those, Shannon, so like you may let you over there with you, Okay, Well I know what they are. I kind of forced my way to learn. But the point is there's a reason you don't know. They don't really want you to know. If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven, Kentucky and Oklahoma, make your prediction really quick.

00:23:17
Speaker 7: On the spread, I'll say Kentucky one and a half.

00:23:22
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna say that too. I think I think that's actually I think that's the right line. I think Kentucky one and a half is gonna be the number. We'll take a break and be right back to Kentucky Sports Radio.

00:23:31
Speaker 5: TJ Smith, personal injury attorney, called TJ. He'll make them pay.

00:23:35
Speaker 3: Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.

00:23:40
Speaker 5: I really like this song.

00:23:42
Speaker 4: You don't we still wave O Glory by the courthouse. We don't burn our draft cards. Uh, you know this was very Uh What's interesting about Merle is he he he would sing this, but then he would also sing like Mama trod, so he would be all over the play.

00:24:01
Speaker 6: Yeah.

00:24:01
Speaker 3: Ryan used to Ryan used to sing this to his kids at night, right right, yep. I always thought this was a weird song to sing to your kids.

00:24:09
Speaker 4: Wait a minute, hang on, you you would sing to your child Okie from Muscow.

00:24:14
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like the one of the few songs I knew the words too, and I have him on my knee, bouncy on my knee.

00:24:18
Speaker 5: He there's a way to like calm him down.

00:24:20
Speaker 6: Just to know, just to interact with him, just to kind of you know.

00:24:23
Speaker 3: I mean, the words are we don't take our trips on LSD. Ryan, that's like the second line, we.

00:24:28
Speaker 5: Don't smoke marijuana in Muscogee. You would sing that to your child.

00:24:32
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's six months old. He didn't know. He just know daddy is talking to him. But he knows.

00:24:36
Speaker 4: I think his dad he knows his dad is talking about marijuana and LSD.

00:24:40
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't think so, it's six months old.

00:24:42
Speaker 5: All right, Well, let's give me example.

00:24:43
Speaker 4: Let's act like let's act like Drew and I are Gavin uh and Michael and Josiah and you are singing this song.

00:24:51
Speaker 5: Don't just do it like you would have to try to calm him down.

00:24:54
Speaker 6: But bounce him on my knee. All right, I'm not doing I got him on one knee, I'm proud to be you, okay from muscow Gee, And then he switched to the other knee. We don't wavel glory down by the Courtell and then I go to the other knee and he just laughs and smile. That's what you know, just kind of relating with your kids.

00:25:11
Speaker 3: So you just skip the first verse at least though. That's good.

00:25:14
Speaker 5: So could you do you know all the words?

00:25:17
Speaker 6: I think I knew then I probably don't know them all. Now what an interesting?

00:25:20
Speaker 4: So not like rock a Bye Baby or anything. It's Oki from Moscow.

00:25:25
Speaker 6: Yep, good memory, Shannon, that's right.

00:25:27
Speaker 5: Wow.

00:25:27
Speaker 3: I always associated that.

00:25:28
Speaker 6: He's twenty seven years old.

00:25:30
Speaker 4: Now wow, you should still go sing to him. I think you would like. All Right, DraftKings, it's time for you. Bet five get one hundred and fifty dollars from DraftKings. A great, great way to enjoy games with college basketball in the NBA. You can bet five get one hundred and fifty from DraftKings. They're all kinds of nice, so you know specials they have going for the NCAA tournament. And remember at DraftKings the Crownishers code KSR if you have a gunning problem called when hear game or eighteen plus Kentucky Only els new Customer's only bonus bits by one hundred and sixty eight hours after issuings traditional term responsible gaming resources see DK and g COO slash audio. Let's do the picks for the SEC games tonight from DraftKings. Florida is at Georgia. Anyway, Georgia gets the upset I don't think so. Florida's the six and a half point favorite.

00:26:17
Speaker 6: Florida wins, it covers, Florida covers three.

00:26:20
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say Florida Tennessee at LSU. Tennessee's a ten and a half point favorite. I'm on, I'm putting this on upset alert. Tennessee can't score. Yeah, LSU is playing better. LSU is playing better now than they've played all year. I don't think they win, but I like the ten and a half through as a cover.

00:26:40
Speaker 7: That is a big number. Although last game, Lanier and Ziggler remember how to score, so they look good in that game. Maybe they turned a corner. But when you said the spread, I thought that was high. That's a lot of points. I might be taking LSU to cover that.

00:26:53
Speaker 5: All right.

00:26:53
Speaker 4: Mississippi State is at Alabama. Mississippi State embarrassed at Oklahoma. Alabama is only a seven and a half point favor. I feel like the tide role tonight don't you need the tide. Yeah, we This is a big one for Kentucky. We need the We need Mississippi State to lose because they're gonna have They're gonna have some easy games coming.

00:27:13
Speaker 7: With have LSU next.

00:27:14
Speaker 5: We need Mississippi State to lose.

00:27:16
Speaker 7: This game in Arkansas. They've got some games.

00:27:18
Speaker 6: South Carolina, like their last three games are very winnable games for them. So yeah, we definitely need alabama to win this one.

00:27:24
Speaker 4: And then finally South Carolina's at Missouri. South Carolina won their first game, but they're.

00:27:28
Speaker 6: Not going to win tonight, right, No, but is there even though they're good. I mean, I've been bragging on them for a month now, they're really good.

00:27:34
Speaker 7: Everyone just rooted against Old Miss and Mississippi State for the rest of the season. That's how you play on Thursday and Wednesday.

00:27:40
Speaker 4: You're exactly right if you want to play, if you want to get a bye.

00:27:43
Speaker 5: We are anti Mississippi so the whole state, the holes.

00:27:47
Speaker 4: We want Old Miss and Mississippi State to lose, lose, and then lose some more. Who's next, Bob and Jamestown Bob, go ahead, Bob eight five nine twenty two eighty seven ah.

00:27:58
Speaker 8: I'm digging this weather team is uh.

00:28:01
Speaker 10: We are in the midst of a telecommunications crisis at this point. These unsolicited robot coll calls are out of control and a LEGI sight. You're shitting up there right now.

00:28:14
Speaker 8: They can do something about it.

00:28:15
Speaker 9: They could. The lobby is a putting pred.

00:28:19
Speaker 5: Just don't answer them. Just don't answer the mat.

00:28:21
Speaker 10: I met run to Cleveland yesterday riding up there, got twenty five robo calls.

00:28:28
Speaker 5: But you know you do you have a cell phone? I assume right the nist, Bob, you don't know anything about cell phone? Yeah, do you have it? Okay, so I'm not I'm not a tag No, all right, all right, there's a button.

00:28:43
Speaker 4: If you google this, you can find if there's a button you hit to where numbers you don't know will not ring on your phone. It'll just go straight to uh, it'll just go straight to voicemail. You can make it to where any number you don't know does not ring on your phone. So you should do that and then you won't get him anymore.

00:29:02
Speaker 10: Oh that's a great tip, Matt. I appreciate that because they think they're.

00:29:06
Speaker 7: Very much Bob.

00:29:07
Speaker 9: I never heard of it.

00:29:08
Speaker 5: Appreciate the call.

00:29:09
Speaker 3: Is there a button I can hit on mom where Bob's calls won't go through? He's he's only called me six and forty six times.

00:29:18
Speaker 6: No, but I mean like that's all had a bonding moment there.

00:29:22
Speaker 5: Well do you not do that on your phone?

00:29:23
Speaker 6: I don't even know how to do that. There's a thing.

00:29:27
Speaker 4: That's like unknown numbers, like okay, so like you can get text messages, you can get known senders and unknown senders.

00:29:35
Speaker 7: You remember, he's a whatever you're.

00:29:37
Speaker 4: Android, more reason not to have an Android, Like, well, no, you're not allowed to do that.

00:29:42
Speaker 7: They haven't figured that out yet.

00:29:43
Speaker 5: They intentionally put through calls.

00:29:45
Speaker 3: To your so it must be right coming to droid like ten years from now.

00:29:50
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you have an iPhone like you can do the message is known senders and unknown senders, and if it sends it to an unknown sender.

00:29:56
Speaker 5: I don't ever have to check though, I got you.

00:29:58
Speaker 4: If you don't want the same thing for phone phone calls, they can make it to where the phone will only ring if it's a number you have in your thing in your address blood, and if it doesn't, it'll go to voicemail. And then you can check and decide if you want to add the number or not.

00:30:11
Speaker 6: I like that very ingenious.

00:30:13
Speaker 5: It's it's I think it's technology existed for a while.

00:30:16
Speaker 6: Actually, that's great. Sydney Sweeny did she probably has it on her phone.

00:30:19
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm gonna be careful.

00:30:21
Speaker 4: Then you won't get her call when she when she when she tries to call you.

00:30:24
Speaker 5: Who's next, Mike, Mike, go ahead, Mike.

00:30:28
Speaker 9: Hey man, you guys you asked earlier about did you read for Arkansas? You know I'm behind because I've been waiting for a little bit. But anyway, I was just saying that I'm going to tell you the full circle. I guess I can't hoe you guys and apology really because that I kind of blame you offer a renny amount of time stuff, And you know, I realized, man, that was ridiculous all my thinking. But you know, I don't know what that man did, Timmy, but he made me think like we didn't survive by that man. I'm older than you, so I don't know where that came from. But yeah, I find myself hard.

00:30:59
Speaker 5: Well, he was really good.

00:31:00
Speaker 4: I mean, like, let me say, people who are good leaders, okay, and I would say John Caliperi is a very good leader. People who are good leaders, people who are charismatic, they have a way of convincing.

00:31:12
Speaker 5: You that they're the only ones that can do a job.

00:31:17
Speaker 4: So, I mean, I'm not gonna speak about the person leading our country, but he often says, I'm the only one that can do this.

00:31:23
Speaker 5: I'm the only one that can do that.

00:31:25
Speaker 4: First of all, it's not true that anyone is the only one that can do something.

00:31:29
Speaker 5: But you're right that there is a lot of our fan base that believe that.

00:31:34
Speaker 4: Kind of came to believe he was the only one that could succeed here. Now, I was of the belief he was the only one that could succeed here the way he was doing it, But the rules of college basketball I think shifted to where the way he was doing it was not the way to do it anymore. I don't think getting freshman is the way to do it anymore unless you like our duke and you have three of the top five. But but I mean, you weren't the only one. I think they became convinced of that. He was really good at convincing people, I'm the only one that can do this.

00:32:07
Speaker 9: Yeah, I hate when that Arkansas w ends more than when Duke Quin's now, So I went full circle. I'm all against them, and I hope they.

00:32:16
Speaker 5: Appreciate the call.

00:32:16
Speaker 4: Did you hear Mark Pope last night in talking about foul calls his comments about Terry Oglesby?

00:32:24
Speaker 5: Did you hear that? I did?

00:32:25
Speaker 7: In first credit to the caller, he called out Oglesby by name and just straight up asked Pope, what was up with him walking you down like that? How do you handle that? I just love that he threw the question out.

00:32:34
Speaker 4: So his answer was something like, there's an art, and this is true, by the way, he is exactly right about this.

00:32:40
Speaker 5: There is an art.

00:32:41
Speaker 4: He said to arguing with an official up to the moment that you'll get a technical, and then walking away, and he said that he gave it to Oglesby up to the moment he was gonna get a technical, and then walked away, and then the dude was following him, and then Mark sort of hinted that his wife.

00:33:02
Speaker 5: Really was bad, and the referee followed him.

00:33:04
Speaker 4: He kind of hinted, like, my wife would have a stronger thing to say. I don't think his wife liked him that.

00:33:09
Speaker 6: He followed him good woman back in her man like that.

00:33:13
Speaker 5: Yes, I says before.

00:33:15
Speaker 4: I think the way he was talking is what I've said about growing up in the mountains. You know, I've said when I grew up in Middlesborough. If you're gonna live in Middlesborough not fight and have a mouth like mine, you gotta know the exact line you can push somebody and then stuff yep. And over the years I learned the exact place you can get to before you're gonna get punched, and then when you're about to get punched, you get away. And I became a master at I could make a person really mad, but not quite getting to the point where they would knock me in the face. And that's that. There's a skill to that. And I think that's what Mark's talking about with referees.

00:33:56
Speaker 7: He said, it's like the old rules in the wild Western. I gonna shoot you in the back. So if you turn and walk away, even when he gets heated, they're not gonna do it if you've got your back to him. He walked him right up to the moment.

00:34:06
Speaker 5: You're oddly the opposite Ryan.

00:34:09
Speaker 4: You don't talk a lot of trash, but the moment you do, you get punched in the fence like you only jump across the line.

00:34:18
Speaker 6: It is crazy how coaches that kind of know how far they can push an official, like they can get right up to the line and not cross the line. It is kind of a an art in a way to learn how to in all sports. Not you know, stoop doesn't football, you know.

00:34:33
Speaker 7: Yeah, Leanne was there last night. You could tell I wanted her to get on the air and give her thoughts because we've we've learned O Tyler did that m Debt story about her. I think she's not afraid to speak her mind to the officials from the crowd when she needs to grow up in a basketball family.

00:34:46
Speaker 4: Hey, if I'm nine two, eight oh twenty two eighty seven, we will take a break and be right back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. Work a back Tucky Sports Radio. If I'm nine two, eight oh twenty two eighty seven. This segment sponsor about Don Franklin Auto. Don Franklin Auto dot com. If you would like a vehicle twenty seven locations around the state. Don Franklin Otto one near you. One of them out there on Nicholsville Road. I just saw they tore down the old iHeart Building.

00:35:10
Speaker 6: They did. Oh no, it's kind of sad.

00:35:12
Speaker 4: The place where we did our show for the first twelve or thirteen years of KSRT turned just got torn down right there on New Circle in Nicholsville Road.

00:35:24
Speaker 6: All those times when the first started, I was in that closet while you were in Louisville, and I was doing it a Lexington.

00:35:28
Speaker 5: Yeap.

00:35:28
Speaker 6: So we all got we graduated to the big studio.

00:35:32
Speaker 4: But you go to Don Franklin Auto, find a vehicle, get the one, best price, best selection, best service.

00:35:38
Speaker 5: With Don Franklin. Nate a Mint, the five star, top five.

00:35:43
Speaker 4: Recruit in the class of twenty twenty five, the highest ranked recruit in America. Can I give you his final five schools that he just announced Kentucky? Yeah, all right, So let me ask you this Drew already knows, Shannon. If I were to say, what are the school that Kentucky fans would want to compete with the least to or beat the most to get a recruit?

00:36:08
Speaker 5: Which four would you pick?

00:36:10
Speaker 3: Alabama, Georgia, Louisville.

00:36:13
Speaker 5: Now where this is basketball?

00:36:15
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, okay, this is basketball.

00:36:18
Speaker 5: Sorry, okay? To keep up top five?

00:36:23
Speaker 9: All right?

00:36:23
Speaker 3: So which school Louisville, Tennessee, Louisville.

00:36:27
Speaker 5: Tennessee, Duke. Those are three of the four. What would the fourth be?

00:36:31
Speaker 9: Uh?

00:36:33
Speaker 3: Maybe North Carolina?

00:36:35
Speaker 4: Well, I would say with Cal, Arkansas and so the top five and Nate Amen's list Kentucky, Duke, Arkansas, Louisville, and Tennessee.

00:36:46
Speaker 5: That's who he's deciding from.

00:36:47
Speaker 4: Could he pick more of a UK fan troll list than these five?

00:36:55
Speaker 7: Drew, No, not at all. I mean Carolina, Like Shannon says, one you conclude, but they already got Caleb Wilson. They're not even in the conversation here. This is absolutely yet. And I'll be honest, even though he hadn't visited yet, I don't love John Caliperi in this one. They're gonna throw a lot of money at him. I was hoping he wouldn't make the cut, but he's been on him hard here recently too, as Kentucky's also trying to make up ground.

00:37:17
Speaker 6: You gotta wonder, though, what a great movie it would be if he picked Kentucky over those other four schools. You know, middle Finger in the Air to those other four schools.

00:37:24
Speaker 4: I think Kentucky was in a really good spot and now Arkansas is involved. It would be interesting if right at the last minute they came and got it. Because I thought Kentucky. I liked where Kentucky was late last week.

00:37:36
Speaker 7: So the reports are Kentucky actually has the best nil set up in the conversation, But you know Chicken Man down there, he's probably willing to overpay to make the statement.

00:37:44
Speaker 5: Yeah again, had we beaten him.

00:37:49
Speaker 4: The high school district tournaments in Kentucky start tonight, Ryan, I haven't been keeping up with high school basketball very much.

00:37:56
Speaker 5: Give me the best five teams in the state of Kentucky.

00:38:00
Speaker 6: They're one, right, great Great Crossing. Uh. Saint X is really good in Louisville, Great Crossing.

00:38:05
Speaker 13: Good X hasn't really lost at all. Yeah, they beat crat Crossing, I think, right, I don't know that's true. I don't know if they're the two best teams though, right, yeah, but they're the I think they're the cream of the crop for sure.

00:38:16
Speaker 7: And then who else is good?

00:38:18
Speaker 2: Uh?

00:38:18
Speaker 6: Lection Catholic has been playing well here in town. You know, I don't know the whole state as well.

00:38:23
Speaker 5: So you don't know.

00:38:24
Speaker 7: No, Okay, Saint X is head and shoulders, But I mean they I think they lost to an out of state team maybe in December. They've been destroying everyone. I saw that the two Louisville County and Hazard are also in the conversation. Is not something that are usually there.

00:38:37
Speaker 4: I saw the two Louisville regions drew each other in the first round of the state tournament for the first time in thirty five years, so that the sixth and seventh region, the two regions from from Louisville, will play each other in the first round sweet sixteenth.

00:38:52
Speaker 6: Drew mentioned Marshall County. You know who their best player is? Who his last name is? Langy?

00:38:57
Speaker 5: Is it Dan Langy's kid?

00:38:58
Speaker 9: Yes?

00:38:58
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, he's a about that former Fandy legend Shannon.

00:39:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was a good player. I wonder if his sun's half as good as he is.

00:39:07
Speaker 6: He's apparently really good.

00:39:09
Speaker 5: Interesting, All right, who's next?

Speaker 14: I have my own KSR story to tell you real quick. So I worked in UH. I worked in law enforcement and for drug court for fifteen well collectively for fifteen years. Actually, the judge that I reported to the last eight years was Judge Pendleton in Baron count.

00:39:34
Speaker 5: Well, okay, but nice.

00:39:36
Speaker 14: The the only time I was able to listen to the show was on podcasts because my job kept me busy. Well, I've made a career change. I'm a sales rep for beer house Distributors now, so I'm able to catch the live show. So that's how I've come to listen to the show. Well, I picked up my son from Beta convention last month, saying we had a little bit of time to kill before we headed home, so we came to Bespoken Spirits and we set at the bar and watched you guys. And now he's a huge KSR fan.

00:40:07
Speaker 5: Oh well god, well that's awesome. Well thank you.

00:40:10
Speaker 9: So yeah.

00:40:11
Speaker 14: So every day after I think him up from football practice, he wants to listen to the show that you guys aired earlier that day. So I guess what I'm calling for is to say thank you, because you've given a father and a son something to bond over. So thank you very much.

00:40:26
Speaker 4: That's very kind of you, and I always like to hear that. And you clearly got a well rounded son. He plays football, but he's also in the Beta I guess Beta club. That's a smart athletic kid like you got. That's a a nice kid. So thank you very much. And I always like to hear stuff like that. Appreciate the call. It gets me every time. Man, you talk about father sons get together and doing and stuff like that, because it as fathers you it is sometimes to reach. How do you talk to your teenage son. We don't have a whole lot in common, but now they can bond. That's one of the best stories about you. It's probably my favorite story about you. Is you about Gavin. How you went and bought like what was costume so you could relate to him because you have you have three kids that were all three very different, very different, and I watched you really do your best to relate to all of them.

00:41:11
Speaker 5: Rather than expecting.

00:41:12
Speaker 4: Your kids to be like you, you sort of you went to them, and I think that's a really you're you're.

00:41:18
Speaker 6: You're you're a good uh a good fun I appreciate that. I realized, if I wanted to relate to my son, I need to get out of my sports closet and do things that interest him. He wanted to go to this Renaissance fair, so I went and I loved it. It was fun. Yes, we all should go.
