00:00:53
Speaker 2: Nick.

00:00:54
Speaker 4: Good to see you here joining us again to talk a little ball. Great to be here, God it is it's beautiful. Should we go outside?

00:01:01
Speaker 2: I mean yes? Tomorrow? Driving in I was just thinking is Keenland. Can we open a day early? Can we get out there? Because it it feels it's got that feeling in the air. I don't know how else to explain it, describe it, but it feels wonderful. The horses they are about to start racing. Football happening right now, the pads are popping outside. Good vibes and likes, the best vibs right now. Got a fun show ahead. We'll get to more football than we did Tuesday. We had we had the coaching news dropping basketball. There's a lot going on we couldn't ignore.

00:01:31
Speaker 4: We don't get to as much football as we'd like, so we'll do We'll do that today. We want to hear from you on the Clark's Pumping Shop full line eight five nine to a two two eight seven. I'm gonna guess the avision glass text machine is at home in a drawer, but uh it exists. Shout out to a vision glass.

00:01:44
Speaker 5: I've got it. It's just in a drawer a home.

00:01:47
Speaker 4: You know you you're home every night where you could open the drawer and pull it out and put it in your pocket and bring it.

00:01:52
Speaker 2: What all do we think is in this drawer?

00:01:54
Speaker 4: No, I don't even want to know that conversation we were having, uh before we started that people didn't need here.

00:02:00
Speaker 5: I think that's true.

00:02:01
Speaker 2: It's very true.

00:02:02
Speaker 4: We're sponsored by t J Smith. Right, if you call TJ what will he do?

00:02:05
Speaker 5: He's gonna make him pay and make him pay a lot.

00:02:08
Speaker 4: Make him pay a lot. Indeed, I'm glad you all survived April Fool's Day. Anybody, anybody get gott.

00:02:15
Speaker 5: I almost did buy some things I read online.

00:02:17
Speaker 4: Okay, let's let's just go to this. What what got you?

00:02:20
Speaker 5: I think I know, well, the one thing and you can relate to this. I saw that online where Jeff Brohm threw Josh Hurt out of his office. I thought that has that's in April Fools. That has to be April Fool called some people, text some people the Canson's Louisville. I'm like, yeah, that allegedly happened there.

00:02:41
Speaker 2: There's some stuff happening on Floyd Street. You know, they're they're having fun, they're having their laughs. Right now, look at all these recruits, these players are gonna be so good. But you know, it's maybe a little trouble in paradise. Should we just.

00:02:53
Speaker 4: Should we just jump that was on my list.

00:02:56
Speaker 2: Let's just jump right in.

00:02:57
Speaker 4: Ryan, what did you learn from from your phone call? Well, you confirm they.

00:03:00
Speaker 5: Tell the great listeners of KSR with Kent Spencer and Kent Taylor the Kent and they said, yeah, allegedly that happened, and they're trying to negotiate a contract extension and then the talks are not going well. But what other what other place can you throw your boss out of your office and it's okay, like you not get fired or not get in trouble. If if you throw your boss out of your office.

00:03:24
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is a that is a weird situation there, Nick, I know delicate for you. Yes, a bloodline there with the prom but tiptoe around it a little bit. But I will say to uncle Jeff, who not an uncle, but you know, we'll go with it. You usually don't see contract negotiations in April. These are usually Yeah, these are three things that happen when the coaching carousel is spinning. Mark Byington, he got a contract extension at Vanderbilt because the North Carolina jobs open. Uh, I'm at TJ. Alzenberger. I'm sure he got a contract extension or something. Like that at Iowa State. Uh, they talked about doing an extension when Penn State and Michigan were going through their stuff and it never happened. So I you know why that didn't wasn't the case. I don't know.

00:04:11
Speaker 2: There are arguing like Woisville. Twitter is just hilarious because because they love them some Jeff Brom. But then there are some other people who want more from Jeff Brom. They say he went to the Bush's baked beans ball. Why should we be given this guy college football playoff money? And so you have all there's I don't want to say civil war, but there is a little bit of a marital dispute. But I think the one thing we can all agree on Louisville they aren't they can't be rolling in money. They're the school that wrote the big open letter about how college sports are going to die if we don't do something to fix it because we can't afford to pay everybody. And it's well, do you want to raise nil money to buy rosters? Do you want to pay your coaches like you can't? Really, we have it all. I'm sure Josh Hurt is trying to get Pat Kelsey some money for some more guards.

00:05:04
Speaker 4: Cincinnati.

00:05:05
Speaker 2: Patt needs some help too, you know, he needs all of the guards. None of the bigs, right, all of the biggs are gone. Just give him all the guards. So you know, it's it's it's fun. It's fun to watch him afar because, let's be honest, we haven't had a year where Kentucky's lost in the level and football and basketball in the same year a very long time. So you know what, when when they're fighting with amongst each other, we just got a point and laugh and I did a rivalry.

00:05:30
Speaker 5: Yeah you do.

00:05:31
Speaker 4: We love to laugh at Louisville's misery. They should be getting excited about spring football over there right now if you follow the Big Dog and they got the best recruiting class of all time. But they're they're fighting kicking AD's out of the office when they should be focused on other stuff. That will just set us up for a big news topic. Yes, well, I'll just shuffle up my order.

00:05:47
Speaker 2: I had other stuff. But you know what, well we'll freestyle.

00:05:49
Speaker 5: Sorry I jumped in there.

00:05:50
Speaker 2: No, No, that was great, and that's all I thought for sure.

00:05:52
Speaker 5: It was as an April Fol's joke. That's how it had to be.

00:05:54
Speaker 2: No, I think that that was that's got some truth to it. And Drew, what are the chance it says that Ryan fell for the blue field?

00:06:03
Speaker 4: Well, Billy brought it up on the show. Yes on the show.

00:06:08
Speaker 5: But I knew that no way they're not going to put a blue field. It's been spent so much time on that turf over there at the Croker Field that I knew that one couldn't flow me on that one.

00:06:18
Speaker 4: Nick Rouse, Okay, did you pull any of your own pranks yesterday?

00:06:21
Speaker 2: Ryan?

00:06:21
Speaker 4: We learned that in the past you you took the wheels off the chairs at the news station. Yeah, dog take doors together. Was there any habit created by Ryan Lemon in his personal life yesterday?

00:06:31
Speaker 5: Yeah. I'm talking to my oldest son, Gavin, who he dog sits and house sits for me when I want on the road or whatever.

00:06:36
Speaker 4: It's very nice.

00:06:37
Speaker 5: And I called him and I said, Gavin, I said, we haven't been able to see Marley since you were here at the house last weekend.

00:06:43
Speaker 4: Oh what did he saying?

00:06:45
Speaker 5: He's like, Dad was there? I mean, he fell for it for like five seconds. He's like, oh wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:06:49
Speaker 4: So you wanted your son to think that he lost your dog while dog.

00:06:53
Speaker 2: I do think that maybe the five day delay like you might have mentioned, yeah, the dog to mention it to wait.

00:07:01
Speaker 5: For the first Yeah, the calendar adding for like five seconds like no, Dad, come.

00:07:05
Speaker 4: On, well not in April Fool's day, prank. Uh looks like your boy Bill Self, Yeah, wants to go back to Kansas announce it he'll be coming back. Uh we know what that means for the Stokes recruitment. It's by no means over. But Kentucky was really hoping Self would step away and help them out a little bit. And it with Self returning, you know, they're still in probably the best spot right now. Nike connection is still strong, and if he's submitting at the Nike hoops on it, it's hard to imagine him committing to an Adida school. But uh, that was a hit to the Stokes recruitment for Kentucky's optimism yesterday.

00:07:36
Speaker 5: So immediately I thought, is he gonna pull Bruce Pearl? Wait till a month before the season starts, Like, ah, my heart's just not in and I'm out, so Vaughn can get the job. You know his boy could step right Vaughn Kansas legend. So I don't know if that's the case or if he really is his heart is back in and again. But if you step back and trying to contemplate it, you're you're all no, you're not all in to begin with. I feel like so, I don't know, what do you think.

00:07:58
Speaker 2: The the weird Talking about Kansas, they have they've been big time losers lately. They kind of get away with it unscathed compared to Kentucky because the one time they did get to the second weekend, they won it all. I believe that was in twenty one or twenty two is one of those years. But they quit going to sweet sixteens on herself, and so you add in that, you add in the fact that the Big twelve is a lot harder. You've got to play Arizona now annually. That like they're pretty good at the hoop so I and then on top of it all, he's got the health issues. So it's creating the perfect storm. This tells me he thinks that he can have one more good run. It tells me he thinks that he's gonna get Tyrane Stokes and this is going to be a last hurrah. I don't think we're gonna get the coach k retirement tour with Bill self though, but I kind of want to because I want to see all the big j journalists just.

00:08:54
Speaker 5: They love Bill.

00:08:55
Speaker 2: So if there's one thing that Bill self has taught us about journalism, it's that a picture of beer goes a long way, right, you get you get the guys a picture of beer, then you get him on the good side.

00:09:06
Speaker 5: And Hooters at Peach Jam.

00:09:07
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, been there a time or two.

00:09:09
Speaker 4: It's closed, by the way, r I p this will be the first Masters without it.

00:09:14
Speaker 2: John Daly, I don't know that.

00:09:17
Speaker 4: You know, I've watched two National championships there. Uh during Masters week, had the time of my life. The Peach Jam. That's the that's the hot spot. That's like a that's a staple around there, and it's gone this year or something.

00:09:28
Speaker 5: Baby, right before the big big Weeks coming here.

00:09:30
Speaker 4: Do you think they knew Bill Self might be retiring, They're like, well, we possibly can't keep the lights on without Beryl Stoke.

00:09:35
Speaker 2: That could be it.

00:09:36
Speaker 4: Did you see Tyron stokes reaction on Twitter?

00:09:38
Speaker 5: What was it?

00:09:39
Speaker 6: Here?

00:09:40
Speaker 2: It is?

00:09:40
Speaker 4: I pulled it up for it. I assumed you might need to some news here. Yeah, it's a you know, it's hard to read emoji his kids and I try not to do it, but that looks like the surprised face. Is that what we call that one? It's got the it's got the mouth open and the eyes are.

00:09:53
Speaker 5: Like, oh, that's the surprise emoji.

00:09:56
Speaker 2: So so what's it's completely overreact? If he was by then maybe he was going to go to Kansas only if Bill Self retired and he's shocked that Self's coming back. So I know he's like, do I really want to go live in wards Kansas for a year. I don't know about that.

00:10:12
Speaker 4: It was I mean it came out right after Self made the news. I have no idea what it means, but it would suggest that he didn't know that news was coming.

00:10:18
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's read into it like he thought Billself was going to retire, and maybe he think, Okay, I gotta go to Kentucky or Oregon. Now coming back, Oh this changes things. That that sort of emoji.

00:10:30
Speaker 4: You mentioned still the Bruce Pearl move. Do we think there's any chance Bill does that?

00:10:35
Speaker 2: Oh?

00:10:35
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think there's a definite chance. I mean, like I said, if he stepped back to contemplate returning he's not all in and begin with. So now he starts going through the recruiting season the summer and like, I'm just not gonna do it.

00:10:47
Speaker 4: Could be he just trying to reel this in, get that class built and then hand it off. But then again, if he got Stokes in the class they have, I would I would think he'd want to see it through and try to get one last run and then step away.

00:10:59
Speaker 5: What if they fail again?

00:11:01
Speaker 4: They could, they could very well, but it just wasn't the best news for Kentucky. We were getting excited. We're still in it. We're not giving up.

00:11:07
Speaker 2: I uh. We need the self error to end though, because our gut Stephen Peak, he some people they they latch onto certain things to get very excited about it. Not step Yeah, his is the Wilson Evo next ball. The other thing is the all time wins right right, because I believe Kentucky is only six ahead of Kansas, very close still, so we need we need Kansas to to go through a little backslide, you know, keep keep falling to the buck nails of the world, so that Kentucky can retain its place atop the world with the most wins at all of college basketball.

00:11:42
Speaker 4: Well we're here at Chaos Bar and Grill hit those quick news topics.

00:11:45
Speaker 2: That was fun.

00:11:45
Speaker 4: Guys, you completely made me delay on my Moon Talk. I mean I was ready to do Moon Sports Radio or Kentucky Moon Radio to you made me talk sports.

00:11:53
Speaker 2: Is Moon Radio? Can can we get Alien Radio? Two? Is that is that?

00:11:58
Speaker 4: This is my last time host the show for a while. So if you want want to get weird A five nine tomato today today, I mean we have sports topics and Nick is the football beat rider. He's everything that's happening over its spring football, so much football.

00:12:10
Speaker 5: If you're going to get weird about aliens, yeah, today's to day to call Dru and talk about it anything.

00:12:14
Speaker 4: Really, everything is in balanced today unless I change my mind on the fly and it's out of bounce. You can't text us on the a Vision glass Tex machine. It's in Ryan's desk drawer. But we want to hear from you on the Clark spoke.

00:12:24
Speaker 5: I have my cell phone number. I will use it for the text. Yeah that's okay, all right, A lot of people, we all have it, trust me.

00:12:31
Speaker 4: A five nine Tomato two two eighty seven. We'll be right back after this. Welcome back to ks R. Drew Franklin here with Ryan Lemon, Nick Roush, Shannon the Dude to make it all happen from the Louisville studio. We let off a little sports news. Now let's get to what really matters. Guess did you watch did you watch the moon launch last night with the Artemis?

00:12:51
Speaker 2: Oh? Here he goes, already already downplaying it. We're going back to the moon that humans have ever been into space, ten thousand miles away and it is an incredible, incredible, just god post for humanity. The ingenuity it takes right. You can't respect that.

00:13:12
Speaker 5: What to get a couple of rocks, can bring up some rocks and bring them home, maybe some dust.

00:13:17
Speaker 4: We're not going on the act. They're going around it. They're taking it so we can get ready front lap. They're on like the new circle of the Moon right now, just lapping around.

00:13:27
Speaker 5: Shannon's on my side. How mu much you said this morning on the pre show about that going around the moon. We've already been to the moon. Why are we going around the moon?

00:13:34
Speaker 3: I was liking it to like going to New York City and going to see the statue of liberty and doing all the things you would do in New York City, and then we're gonna go back fifty years later. We're not gonna go to New York City. We're just gonna go around it. We're just gonna drive around in circle. So what's what's the excitement about this?

00:13:48
Speaker 4: Well, the late Jared Lorenzen, our dear friend, would tell you, we haven't been to this so that we we could debate that if you wanted. But we're just scouted out. We got to get there before China, Ryan, because China will get there and they'll just start living there and doing all the fun stuff, and they're going to Mars and then we're just back here, like craft.

00:14:03
Speaker 2: We should have gotten there first. Yeah. I can't let the TChan nuts get DIBs, right. We are here testing it out so we can maintain DIBs. We had DIBs for fifty years. Yeah, we cannot lose DIBs, right, So you know how that goes. If as soon as you lose DIBs, you're cooked. We are not cooked. We're going back to space. And I gotta say, the three little kids loves it's the space. You're seeing a giant rocket go to the moon. That's awesome.

00:14:27
Speaker 4: Now I do have to compliment Ryan limit this big brain over here. He spoke it into existence yesterday when talking about this, he yelled, they pee in their suits. Yeah, and that's all you really had to contribute to the topic. Right, Well, did you see this morning that their bathrooms, Yes, I.

00:14:40
Speaker 5: Did their bathroom fan that they blow the pea and the poop into a bag. The fan broke.

00:14:47
Speaker 4: It's like a suction thing. But I mean I when I saw that news, my brain immediately went to you is like all Ryan could talk about is how they have to use the bathroom in their suits. And then they haven't even been gone today yet and already we have bathroom. Probably the plumbing is out on what's the think of Oreon? The Oreon plumbing is broken.

00:15:04
Speaker 5: And here's what I was wondering. I think it happened an hour into the flight. Guy couldn't hold it for an hour. I mean, that's they got in the rocket.

00:15:12
Speaker 4: That's a good point.

00:15:13
Speaker 2: Well, so now do they have to hold it that.

00:15:16
Speaker 5: I think they gotta hold it till they fix that fan.

00:15:18
Speaker 4: And is it like an airport bathroom? Those are the worst nick You're tall.

00:15:21
Speaker 5: You're tall.

00:15:22
Speaker 2: I mean I could barely get.

00:15:23
Speaker 4: In those things.

00:15:24
Speaker 2: That is not a place you want to go, just never under any circumstances. So I think we just got an emodium woe on hydration, right, Maybe take some salt pills. The salt pills they worked for the football players back in the days.

00:15:39
Speaker 5: So we're spending a trillion dollars for our astronauts to go up and go around the moon for no reason and chase Pea with a little plastic bag. That's what they're doing. They're chasing Pea with their little plastic bag.

00:15:52
Speaker 4: Come here, last I'm glad you're recording that, Mario. That was a good visual for all of us. No, they're still locked in on their mission. This is just a little hiccup, but the mission to go around the moon. Gonna do anything, little guy to just get on there. We meet him somewhere in space, he'll come in, he'll punge that thing. We'll be back to work yesterday.

00:16:10
Speaker 2: We I could just imagine being the guy to need to fix fan broke.

00:16:18
Speaker 4: Well, this is this is still a big deal. You can't downplay it. The bathroom situation is funny. I didn't even think about what you just said. They were barely gone, guys like I already gotta go.

00:16:26
Speaker 5: I gotta go.

00:16:26
Speaker 4: It'sake you on a road trip, No kidding. We can't even get to Louisville before we're taking bathroom.

00:16:31
Speaker 5: They got old lady bladder. Man, I can't get a rope for two hours, I got a pee.

00:16:34
Speaker 4: So that it had me thinking as I was watching this beautiful mission take off from Florida yesterday, just not a not a dry eye in sight there on the ground, and I got to think, you know, yesterday we you said no way, would you do it right?

00:16:46
Speaker 2: Billy?

00:16:46
Speaker 4: Wouldn't do it?

00:16:47
Speaker 2: Shannon? Would you take the moon ride if offered?

00:16:49
Speaker 3: No, No, I don't even like flying on a plane, so I'm not.

00:16:52
Speaker 5: F that'll be a big well.

00:16:54
Speaker 4: I'm creating a scenario where all of us are on this. I'm asking who who would last the longest, and who would want to tap out the earliest.

00:17:03
Speaker 3: I'm tapping out the earliest, like I have no interest in this. You and Matt were this. You know, you're the daredevils, the skydivers. You guys probably would last a lot longer than I would.

00:17:14
Speaker 5: I'm also tapping out early. I can't. I couldn't be in a confined space for ten days. That would just I would go insane. I couldn't do it. So I'm out.

00:17:21
Speaker 4: I feel like Nick, you take the adventure, you take the rid.

00:17:23
Speaker 2: I would not like the I'm sure the quarters are cramped, you know, especially.

00:17:29
Speaker 5: And there's P floating around.

00:17:30
Speaker 4: Okay, Ryan, if P is not floating around, they still have a toilet. It just can't empty the way it's designed to empty. They got to plunge it. It's not like they're just rolling around in their own urine up there.

00:17:41
Speaker 5: It's broken.

00:17:44
Speaker 2: This guy all right, mother question? Would you take the ride off? Yeah? Yeah, I'm the young guy too, right, I can't have Come on, I gotta there's a little bit of pride here, like come on rolling with the moon. Right, let's do it.

00:17:57
Speaker 5: Let's rex in.

00:17:58
Speaker 2: You're in. Oh, I'm I'm all the way, as long as we don't have to spin like. I can do the roller coaster rides, the spinny rides. Take me to the County Fair to.

00:18:07
Speaker 4: The smooth ride. Smooth, no problem.

00:18:08
Speaker 5: No, Matt is not like to fly.

00:18:10
Speaker 3: He's a nervous flyer. I've sat next to him. He's as nervous as I am, so I don't think he would last long either.

00:18:15
Speaker 5: I think Shannon, Matt and I tap out pretty quick.

00:18:18
Speaker 4: Well, and working in Matt's favors, I don't think there'll be crying babies next to him and Shannon. I don't think anybody's leaning back into your to your lap. But you billy always debate over Yeah.

00:18:27
Speaker 2: You also can't take your shoes off either. I know that sort of behavior on an air plane is frowned upon. Can't take the space boots off? Did they wear space boots? I don't know.

00:18:37
Speaker 4: Do they have a space airport bar where I could get my pre flight spirits? Oh, I'm absolutely.

00:18:44
Speaker 5: I don't think they have Dike Coke. So Matt's gonna tap out pretty quick. Well, there's no Chipot Lake, Hudoba or an Indian restaurant, No Dick Coke. He's out.

00:18:51
Speaker 3: They do have Dippin' Dodgs though.

00:18:54
Speaker 2: That's right, all right.

00:18:55
Speaker 4: Well, my second part of this exercise is I'm I'm saying we all made it ks R Space Shuttle, made it to the Moon, made it to the moon, we land, We're about to open the door and there's an alien waiting, which one are we sending out to talk?

00:19:09
Speaker 2: Oh Shannon is wow, mister alien, who's communicating here? And you know what Shannon's composed? He's straightforward. I think the aliens would respect him. I just yeah, it's gotta be you, Shannon.

00:19:22
Speaker 3: I'll just go right up and just slap it in the face. Just see what we got right Now's that? Let's see how tough you are.

00:19:28
Speaker 2: Alien.

00:19:29
Speaker 5: It can't do that, or he'll point his finger at us and zappisol, you gotta be nice.

00:19:32
Speaker 4: That's exactly why we can't send Shannon. We we're coming in peace. We cannot be hostile there. I eliminate Matt quickly because he's an alien hater and doesn't believe it. You know, normally, I don't know if you all know this. Matt likes to speak for the group. I don't think in this circumstance Matt can be the first one to go up and have this conversation.

00:19:47
Speaker 2: Would he say instead of my man, my alien, my alien, my alien?

00:19:51
Speaker 5: Where where where's the closest McDonald's, how do I how do I get.

00:19:54
Speaker 3: My saying that he knows more than the alien?

00:19:57
Speaker 2: That's true?

00:19:57
Speaker 5: Yeah?

00:19:58
Speaker 4: Yeah, So the answer is Ryan, I guess are you No, no, no, I'm good for the ride, But I want you to go out and hash it out. I just want to know what you and this alien would talk about.

00:20:05
Speaker 2: You'll probably know the same language.

00:20:07
Speaker 5: Probably, do you know, we're probably the same size, probably a little fellow like me. You know, we can kind of relate a little bit. Talk about our kids, talk about peeing in the spaceship. I probably say, how do you guys pe in your spaceship?

00:20:19
Speaker 2: The obsession with the ping in the spaceship. There's so much to this mission. We don't have to just focus.

00:20:24
Speaker 4: On their bathroom habits.

00:20:26
Speaker 2: If Scary Movie three taught me anything, they're peer out of their fingers.

00:20:28
Speaker 4: Okay, Well to tie this into UK football, Oh oh wait, watch me Cook, watch me Ryan.

00:20:37
Speaker 2: You shared it.

00:20:38
Speaker 4: This is not necessarily a space shuttle. But that video you shared yesterday where there's a Kentucky football game and a B twenty five bomber just flew right over the field. It was in nineteen eighty five at Florida. I think you said in your tweet you didn't know that happened. I didn't either, but that video was wild. Mark Higgs is running the football and the shadow of a plane just completely takes over the field.

00:20:58
Speaker 5: I had never heard of this story, maybe because it happened down at Florida. But once I saw that tweet, I like, that can't beat you. I thought, again, this is April fools. Then I started doing a deep dive on it. That really happened. Some dude in that plane dipped down into the stadium. They said he was like level with the press box and then lifted back up to get out of there during the game.

00:21:19
Speaker 4: Well, because I'm I'm a show prepper, I didn't do my show prep today, but I did look this one up. Yes, I found the newspaper article from November nineteen, probably the same one I found. I have the details. They said it was less than five hundred feet above the ground. Impressive, a stadium full of people, first quarter, Kentucky, Florida, first quarter, five hundred feet above the ground, this massive plane comes. The pilot's name was John Marshall. The plane was on its way from Florida to go into the Smithsonian, Yeah, to stay there forever. And he thought, you know what, it's a nice day. This is his quote. Florida's been good to us. I wanted to just do a little lap for the people of Florida midgame. And it turns out after he did it once, he came back in the second quarter and did it again. And I couldn't find out it officially happened, but the news report said that he would be losing his pilot's license for doing it. But my man didn't seem to have a care in the world. He's like, this plane was taking his last flight out of Florida to sit down forever, and I wanted to have a little fun.

00:22:12
Speaker 5: Yeah, I read where he me. As soon as he landed, he his licensed. They took him into custody and his license have been suspended for life. I think he could never fly again, just joy.

00:22:20
Speaker 4: Riding a B twenty five that was about to go into the Smithsonian.

00:22:23
Speaker 2: That is why Nick.

00:22:24
Speaker 4: Imagine you're in the upper level and you see that coming. You think it's Pearl Harbor, something's going on, But it's just Mark Higgs running the football down there as a plane goes over.

00:22:31
Speaker 2: I thought it was how Mummy was running it. RIDI bring the air raids irons back then, the air rates irons more effective than we thought. Well, we did lose that game, fifteen to thirteen. Hey, so we boy next year.

00:22:40
Speaker 5: Though the player on the field over here and look up. I mean it was, you know, striking enough there the officials and their players look up like what is going on?

00:22:48
Speaker 2: See?

00:22:49
Speaker 4: I told jacket tyle those topics together, I tried.

00:22:51
Speaker 2: We'll be right back. TJ. Smith, personal injury attorney, called TJ.

00:22:56
Speaker 4: He'll make them pay.

00:22:57
Speaker 3: Now more of Kentucky's sports radio presented by He's stocked in Mortgage.

00:23:01
Speaker 1: Here's Matt Jones.

00:23:03
Speaker 4: Shannon just playing the hits over there. Always has the right songs for the topics.

00:23:07
Speaker 2: He is good.

00:23:08
Speaker 4: Shannon's keeping us going from the Louisville studio. I'm Drew Franklin filling in for Matt Jones.

00:23:12
Speaker 2: Today.

00:23:12
Speaker 4: We're gonna get to a lot of football conversations with Nick Roush Right now, let's just go the phone lines and here we already have a lot of people waiting to either talk about broken toilets on a space shuttle or football. Who's up first, Shannon, Let's go to Hilltopper, Hello, Hilltopper, what's up?

00:23:26
Speaker 2: Guys?

00:23:27
Speaker 7: So? April second is a day that nobody typically wants, But I think that the power of KSR can make anything special. And just because Matt Jones isn't here and doesn't think that anything great can happen without him being here, I think I think it actually can. So yesterday Jeff Bram kicked his athletic director out of his office and slammed the door in his face during contract negotiations because the ady basically called the Brohms liars because the eighty didn't believe that the Broms were offered the Pens eight job. I mean well, Penn State offered just about anybody that job. So that's pretty disrespectful to think that they wouldn't offer him that job. And so I just think he's very tone deaf. I think so to test the power of ks R and see if we can actually do something meaningful without Matt here, I'm gonna post on my social media. I don't have much. They got Twitter and Facebook that I'm not on there much, But I'm gonna ask the question, should Jeff Brom return back to w k U since Louisville doesn't seem to really want him anymore? So shout out like Jeff bro and like Jeff and like Jeff Brom.

00:24:34
Speaker 4: I'm out, all right, appreciate the call.

00:24:37
Speaker 2: I enjoyed the w K U era Brown football we w K My brother was was a part of those. Some of those teams they won quite a few games. Old Brandon Dowdy, little Mike White action. That was fun. It was good. That was It was a good time. Good hang down there on the hill.

00:24:53
Speaker 4: A little stand up bench here. Isn't that the jam there?

00:24:56
Speaker 2: Yeah? That what we were singing at Hilltopper games.

00:24:58
Speaker 5: WK fight song?

00:24:59
Speaker 2: Is that right? Billy our sports?

00:25:00
Speaker 4: I wish you were here to give his that's his alumnip, but I doubt you're your boy. Jeff's gonna go to Western even though I can understand why they'd want that.

00:25:07
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they'd be thrilled. Uh so, what do you think was he was?

00:25:10
Speaker 5: He offered the Penn State job.

00:25:12
Speaker 2: It was very amusing that there was a Penn State moving truck near his neighborhood when all that was going down. I think it was called knit Kney Lions moving or something along those lines, and so that that freaked some people out. Ultimately, you know, this is how these jobs were. People get tired of each other. It doesn't matter if you are Jeff Brown. First family of Voivale football. They'll get tired of each other at some point. That's that's how it goes. But he wasn't. He's not leaving after less than five years. He wanted that job for a long time. He got it, and uh, you want to you want to hear a funny alternate history, please, so tell us about it. A lot of people they go back to that Austin McGinnis kick. Remember we all remember finally that the city state game. Uh, the pressure was on Mark Stoops to go to a bowl in year four. And here's the thing. At the time, Jeff Brom was at Western Kentucky and Tom Jorish was at Wolville. For as much hand ringing as these folks in the city of Louisville do for how great Jeff Brawm is, but Tom Jorge he's the best two people. Forget that Tom George ran Jeff out of town. They made him the scapegoat for Steve Craigthorpe. And Jeff wanted nothing to do with Tom jurch absolutely nothing to do with Tom Jerside, so much so that if Mark Steup's doesn't win that game, Jeff Brom is pushing to get the Kentucky job. So I know that it's kind of hard for people, especially when I would bring this up in the past, to just think about that possibility. I mean, Will Stein's the coach right now. This is another Wolfville quarterback. Sure it's a little bit different with that family and that big name, but that was certainly on the table if Austin McGinnis's kick doesn't go through the net and Mitch Barnhart's looking for a new head coach at the end of the twenty sixteen season.

00:26:58
Speaker 4: So you're telling me everyone at Trinity love Kentucky. Trinity is basically a pipeline for Kentucky. You got will Stein here. Now you're saying bron wanted to go. He's settled to go to Louisville. People were acting like that's his dream job and it's the perfect marriage. But you're telling me they're all cats over there at Trinity.

00:27:12
Speaker 2: Pretty much the whole city is, you know, the sissy cakes. Everybody. Oh, yes, some big blue.

00:27:19
Speaker 4: Who's up next, Shannon, Let's go to Rick?

00:27:22
Speaker 6: Hello, Rick, Hey, good morning guys. You know I was noting that most of Miss Barnhardt's accomplishments were National Rifle championships and my great grandfather was on the national dairy cow judging team for UK in twenty eight and we still today have a dairy cow judging team that's one of the top in the country. And I mean their Big Moo nation in.

00:27:53
Speaker 4: Big Moon now, yeah.

00:27:58
Speaker 6: Go big Moo. I think we need that. I think so. I'm wondering if we need to add those to Miss Barnhart's totals too.

00:28:07
Speaker 2: I have a question about the dairy cow judging. Are we judging how the cow looks? Are we judging how the milk tastes? How does how does that work?

00:28:17
Speaker 6: It's it's a confirmation. So uh so they go around to the farms in the local community area here and they teach them what to look for in a cow. And you know, when you're buying cows or judging them what to look for. So being able to judge cow flashes is an important thing. How are we just.

00:28:36
Speaker 5: Now finding out about the Big Moon Nation.

00:28:38
Speaker 4: I'm surprised Mitch didn't have a trophy out there at this ceremony.

00:28:41
Speaker 6: I'm surprised they didn't either, But you know, they're they're really strong this year, and uh it's a club, it's not a team, kind of like a rugby club. That way, they can have keggers after they judge cow you know.

00:28:54
Speaker 5: So, uh that's awesome, go big move.

00:28:57
Speaker 6: Well anyway anyway, yeah, go big. But anyway, I always called him Mulligan Mitch because I never thought he got anything right the first time. Have a good day, guys.

00:29:08
Speaker 2: Wow, oh man, so its cooking. We have another pretty good club sport. At least, we had the dodgeball team for a while. It was a lot among the best in the nation. And when your boy Nick Rausch was a KSR college intern back in twenty twelve twenty thirteen, remember those days, we oh it was. It was a ragtag crew and we got everybody together to play the dodgeball team and so yeah, you know it. They tape their fingertips so they can grip the ball better and they can throw it up to one hundred miles an out. And we thought this could be a fun content bit. We'll have a great time. You know, we might have a couple of pops beforehand. We're just gonna we're gonna have some other job. Are you confessing you were having pops on the job. It was fun until you got hit in the face of the ball that that was. It sounded a lot better than than what it actually was. We got to be a pretty bad by those doshballs.

00:30:03
Speaker 4: Longtime Chaos Bar employee Tyler Kratzer was on the He might have been the captain.

00:30:07
Speaker 2: Uh.

00:30:07
Speaker 4: He was traveling with them when they were having some of their best teams.

00:30:10
Speaker 5: Can they make it like the National Championship Game or something?

00:30:12
Speaker 4: One year I think made it really far. So another another sport that doesn't get attention of there. Maybe we should look more into this cal judging thing. I like the idea of that.

00:30:20
Speaker 5: I can't believe we've ever heard of it before, because that is something I think we would have fun with.

00:30:24
Speaker 4: We're slacking on our job.

00:30:25
Speaker 2: Who's up next to weirdo?

00:30:27
Speaker 4: Weirdo? This is let's go what's up weirdo?

00:30:31
Speaker 8: Hey guys, I'm calling to talk to you about my alien theory. Let to take you on a journey. Let's close our eyes and look way into the future. Technology has advanced and humans bodies have adapted to not having to do the physical work, and our brains have grown much bigger to adapt to the influx of information in Our language is adapted to code, and it's nothing like the spoken languages we know today. But unfortunately, the Earth is run in cycle, and we've been forced to live in space stations and on other planets. But Earth will always be the utopia of life. So we travel back in time to Earth trying to find ways to save the future of Earth, and that is why aliens are visiting today to try to help sustain life as we know it on Earth.

00:31:30
Speaker 9: You know what, weird I appreciate the call. That was beautiful, guys, I understand you just catch that. Drew said, thank you, Weirdo. I appreciate the call because the weird of weirdo, I know it.

00:31:40
Speaker 4: That's what I'm gonna call people by their name. I feel like that's how my mama raised me, that I'm gonna be a gentleman. But I will right now, Guys, my hands up. I probably invited that on me, Yes you did. I like his theory, though I might. I might have read the same theory on Reddit once or twice. I might be a believer. Why are you laughing?

00:31:59
Speaker 2: His name was Weirdo. If his name was Jeff, I would say thank you Jeff.

00:32:03
Speaker 5: Only on this show and stuff like that. Happened.

00:32:04
Speaker 2: Did any of y'all see Bogonia know that if you want a fun little alien conspiracy theory, uh flick? That one had me. It really made my wife angry after at the end of it. But I was like, this is this is kind of fun little little aliens conspiracy theorists.

00:32:22
Speaker 5: It scratches that is.

00:32:23
Speaker 4: You know who would be angry right now? Matt Jones. I met. I asked for it. As soon as I heard the name weirdo. I knew I might have gone a little far in that direction, but I'm not mad about it. It happens call the day.

00:32:36
Speaker 5: No, I don't know if we want to do that. Let's maybe move on and kind of all right, let's let's move.

00:32:43
Speaker 4: On to things happening on this planet.

00:32:44
Speaker 2: Should we talk to about football? I mean, well, first of.

00:32:47

We've had big Moo Nation, We've had aliens, Nick Crack and cold ones at work and we're not even through the first hour. Guys, that's my bad, or maybe you're welcome.

00:33:55
Speaker 5: How are you a Thursday show in April? That's what it's all about, right.

00:33:59
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're having but we do have some break, said, rise, we're coming back. Nick tells me there's a wanting on. No, I don't even know what it is. Breaking news.

00:34:08
Speaker 5: There you go. You got your own wanting.

00:34:09
Speaker 2: No, not from NASA. The Artemist two crew has restored the Orion spacecraft's toilet to normal operations in the proximity operations demonstration. God our our national nightmares over. They're not chasing pee in a bag anymore, right.

00:34:25
Speaker 5: Somebody to sent me a video of one of the astronauts kind of demonstrating the bathroom process in this spaceship.

00:34:32
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't think that anyone asked for that.

00:34:35
Speaker 5: Well, she was talking about, like you have to hold onto the handle because you're just floating around in there.

00:34:39
Speaker 4: And I figured, and I assumed I didn't. There's a video of that.

00:34:43
Speaker 5: Yeah, the video.

00:34:43
Speaker 4: Okay, we'll let you keep that to yourself. The good news that they fixed the plumber.

00:34:46
Speaker 5: She's not actually using the bathroom, she's demonstrating. Gotcha, they have to do it.

00:34:50
Speaker 4: Yeah, got you. I'm glad they got that fixed. That's big notes, Big, big things happen.

00:34:54
Speaker 2: Nick.

00:34:54
Speaker 4: We are going to talk football at some point. Maybe I should just go ahead and get to it so we don't look up in it twelve.

00:34:58
Speaker 2: And it's been two weird would be a good idea. We did have a little bit of news yesterday justin rolling at casarplus at the Scoop. First, yeah, that Kentucky's at adding a new director of recruiting, Aaron Love. She's coming over joining the operation. And first and foremost I mentioned this on Tuesday. Everything is kind of new here. A lot of the newness for will Stein is modernizing the Kentucky football operation. That means there are a ton of people that work for will Stein. Like, it's not just the head coach, ten assistants and you got some gas two. I mean, the offensive line has four coaches on it. You know, there's an outside receivers coach and inside receivers coach. You have so many coaches, but you also have the front office apparatus, which is led by the GM Pat Biondo. And then you've got Jarret Mcelwayane. Dad is Jim Michael Wayne's son who's been at Alabama with the Boar, he was at Washington, he also was at Harball with Michigan. He's the director of player Personnel and he's got a bunch of people working for him, including Aaron Love, who started at Tennessee. She's from Knoxville. She couldn't get out of there quick enough. I mean, smart person already. Really the IQ got out in Knoxville after a year worked in North Carolina. But what was I think, what's could be something? Just to keep an eye And she was at Tulsa last year and you're like, all right, who cares about Tulsa football? During the portal madness, Tulsa did something fun. They created the portal house. They got this big fancy Airbnb. Oh yeah, I remember, and they just brought all of their coaches, all of their equipment, and they're like, we're gonna basically do a real world but for the transfer portal. So it was fun because you see just kind of how frenetic it can be where you're on the phone and he's like, all right, so who you got lined up? Can we get you here? And he's like, oh, he just hung up on me. So the whole experience. So she was the brains behind that operation. She's coming to Kentucky so we might see some fun stuff like that. But her job is the job that I there's a lot of jobs over there that I wouldn't want because it's it's like a nightmare. A lot of her job is making sure that when Kentucky had I want to say it was eighty eight visits in two weeks, that's that person's job, getting all the flights book getting all the cars to pick them up from the airport, to get them there, to get all their meals ready, to have all the flare that comes with it. You're a giant event planter that has to turn these visits into an experience that leaves these players thinking, all right, these people got their stuff. So that's that's gonna be a loves job. As director of recruiting, one of many, many, many many people working over that at the Joe Kraft Football training facilities. Some might say it's a full house over there.

00:37:38
Speaker 4: Well done, well done, well everywhere. Come a long way from that old church pot luck table. They put in the corner of a nutter to entertain the recruits, little crock pot of meatballs. Maybe get you a little piece of bread hair and enjoy your time and likes and the game has definitely changed. Also from yesterday. I saidn't exactly newsy, but our boy Adam Luckett wrote the story with the comments from the receivers coach Harley Gilmore. I know people are very conflicted on Harley Gilmore's return. You know, he's he's been leaving and coming and leaving and coming, and I like to sit here and I guess price is the Joe said Joe sid Joe, Yeah, he said this. Just dude loves football. We'll get it figured out with what's going on with him. But they seem to really love having Gilmore back where. I know a lot of fans have been confused on what to fit there.

00:38:20
Speaker 2: And I understand it because I was just as confused as everybody else. But he he needed to find a place and Kentucky said, you know what, come on by you. You've been here for two years, let's make it a third. And I think the upside for Kentucky is that it's really a no like you can't lose because they have upgraded the talent in that room. So if Gilmore levels up, then he's on play. If he does it, then so be it. They they were probably a little too reliant on him to take the next step last year when he didn't have a spring. There's some guys that are in spring right now that are taking step forward, Guys like DJ Miller. You know a surprising name that i'd expect was one of Lexington Sayer's own.

00:39:01
Speaker 4: Well, you're sitting with two huge brock Kaffman fans right here.

00:39:04
Speaker 5: He is.

00:39:05
Speaker 2: I know we're not allowed to do this, but he is the next Charles Walker, Clash, David bouvier U or Fred Ferrier right like this. This guy just makes. He just makes the right place. And you know it might not he might not have a five hundred eight hundred yards this fall, but he's gonna be a guy that they're they're working him out at punt return. They can trust he's he's good in between the years. He's got some brains up there, smart player, and he's only been playing football since he started high school. So uh, he's still got plenty of him to grow going into his second season of college football. So the past, the past casting options, we were a little a little worried, but you're starting to kind of see the light there. But a lot of it ultimately comes back to big eighty one Josee that passed at Mitchie through Rodriguez in practice the other.

00:39:50
Speaker 4: Day it's highlight season and they're looking good.

00:39:53
Speaker 2: They there are some things about the newness that I'm not the biggest fans of. Over you know, will Stein, You're never gonna get one hundred percent approval rating from me. I do love that they're just like, you want some highlights, here we go. It's it's the cat nipple, you know, like, I'm what's that stuff that they like? Go all crazy?

00:40:12
Speaker 5: Catnap?

00:40:12
Speaker 2: Catnap?

00:40:13
Speaker 5: Yeah.

00:40:13
Speaker 2: Oh, they're giving us plenty of catnap this spring.

00:40:16
Speaker 4: Some news from right outside here, I'm watching an Amazon prom truck get towed away. So if you're waiting on a package that could be delayed, just want to update everyone. That definitely applies to my wife.

00:40:26
Speaker 2: I have one other question. Yes, we and maybe maybe Mario could help better explain this too. We might need his explanation because remember when touch money got people very very upset. Yeah well yes, yes, the the Kentucky Wide receivers they are they're calling themselves the paper chasers, the paper chasers. Huh, and I Rock explained it's like, hey, this isn't it's not all about money, but like you know, if you play well, you do get money. But it is sort of a let's go call I just I. Here's Andrew. Sometimes when something's really like, oh, people are gonna love this, let me just gas it up as much as I can. I did not gas it up a ton because I thought some some folks might not like not like that.

00:41:12
Speaker 4: We saw the basketball reaction. Yeah, it happens everywhere. I mean every other Friday. Ron walks in here and yells it's payday at the top.

00:41:18
Speaker 2: Of his lungs. You know, it's just people like to have a old money in their pocket sometimes.

00:41:22
Speaker 5: And I did hear a coach price he He even mentioned it when he's talking to the media that he's referenced it. You know where we're paper chasers like cool, be careful there.

00:41:30
Speaker 2: It sounds bad, but at the end of the day, if you win, you get paid. Yeah, that's how white works. If you do well at your job, you get paid money. And that's college athletics, noal. And if that motivates our receivers, you know what I want. I want some Diva wide receivers because you know what, Diva wide receivers they make money because they're good. I want to see good wide receiver play no offense to a lot of the guys, but outside of Windale, we haven't seen very many of them over the past few years.

00:41:55
Speaker 4: We're sitting here with big money, Ron Lemon, got Nick Rouse, Shannon making it all happen. It was a fun first hour, got a little crazy there for a second, but we'll be back with more football ahead.

00:42:06
Speaker 2: Yeah,
