00:00:36
Speaker 5: Welcome everyone.

00:00:37
Speaker 6: It is Kentucky Sports Radio, Monday, January the twenty sixth, on a snowed in day, all across Kentucky.

00:00:45
Speaker 5: I am Matt Jones. You can give a shower.

00:00:47
Speaker 6: Clark's Pupping Shop full line eight five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. A Vision Auto Glass text machine is seven seven two seven seven four five two five four in the audition sponsored by the TJ. Smith Law Office called TJ Make Them Pay all across Kentucky. Many of you are stuck in your house. Some of you are not, but in Louisville. I think most people are in Lexington. I think most people are and in the surrounding area. And we didn't get as much snow as they said, but we did get a lot of it and enough to shut the city down.

00:01:20
Speaker 5: Ryan is at his house.

00:01:21
Speaker 6: Shannon already heard something falling in the background before we even start.

00:01:27
Speaker 5: But Ryan, how was your weekend?

00:01:29
Speaker 2: The loan? I hated it.

00:01:31
Speaker 5: I have not turned him down. Good night, move your stuff down, all right, to go ahead?

00:01:36
Speaker 2: I hated it. I haven't.

00:01:38
Speaker 6: You're loud, You're you got to turn down, right. I don't know if you've ever used that equipment.

00:01:44
Speaker 2: That's a normal setting.

00:01:46
Speaker 4: You're saying as you hated it, all right, go ahead now.

00:01:49
Speaker 2: I hated it. I have not had face to face communication with anybody in like now, almost twenty four hours. I hate it. I'm going crazy. I'm bored out of the.

00:01:57
Speaker 5: Twenty four hours.

00:01:58
Speaker 2: It started eight hours. Yes, it's Saturday, after the Kentucky game. I've not seen a human being.

00:02:04
Speaker 5: Okay, Shannon, am I the only one that thinks he's still like.

00:02:08
Speaker 3: He's a little loud, Like, yeah, he's still screaming.

00:02:11
Speaker 7: YEA.

00:02:11
Speaker 5: Maybe move the microphone back from your mouth or something.

00:02:15
Speaker 2: But all right, this is radio one on one.

00:02:18
Speaker 6: I mean, we're teaching Ryan how to turn on his equipment right from the start. Okay, so you've been by yourself. Let's just talk about what's happened here with snow. All right, So we got I think Louisville. Here in Louisville, Shannon, seelet's know dogs, he's an absolute disaster for moment one and absolute disasters. His dogs are going nuts in the background. I don't know if people can hear it, but.

00:02:41
Speaker 5: Shannon, six inches in Louisville looks like about four in Lexington.

00:02:47
Speaker 6: We did meteorol just madness, and unfortunately, Shannon, it doesn't look like anyone was closed.

00:02:53
Speaker 4: Nobody was closed.

00:02:54
Speaker 3: I mean Jim Cantore is sort of closed, but he doesn't even count because.

00:02:57
Speaker 5: He was just turned it in light.

00:03:00
Speaker 4: He turned into his homework too late.

00:03:02
Speaker 3: But I think this goes to show you what I've thought a long time is that none of these guys really know.

00:03:07
Speaker 6: Now, I'm not gonna do that to him. I think that's not I'm not I think that's rude, Shannon. All these people voluntary, No, I'm being serious. All these people volunteered their time to do this, and I think you still say it is clearly the case that these folks are It's not as scientific as we think, Like, I mean, every single person except Jim Cantorre and Ryan hall y'all had at least ten inches in both cities, So clearly they all thought that and it ends up not happening. I'm gonna but I'm gonna celebrate who did win. Our winner is TG Shuck from w TVQ. TG Shuck. He had the lowest total for Lexington and he had the excuse me, he had the lowest total for Louisville and one of the lowest totals for Lexington.

00:03:57
Speaker 5: He comes within point one point.

00:03:59
Speaker 6: He beats Ryan hall y'all by point one point, saving the local meteorologist.

00:04:06
Speaker 5: Otherwise it would have been the two national guys Ryan that.

00:04:09
Speaker 6: Ended up coming one to TG Thundershuck comes in, he wins. He will win ten thousand dollars for he picked the Lexington Humane Society as his charity. That's ten thousand comes from Comwealth Causes, SERF pro and me. And then we had White Greer Maggard the Dentist Office come in at the last minute offer five thousand per second, and Ryan Hall, y'all picked Rubicon USA, an organization I wasn't familiar with but works with veterans.

00:04:38
Speaker 5: That's his second place.

00:04:40
Speaker 6: So he'll get five thousand, and Lexington Humane Society gets ten thousand dollars thanks Ryan to TG shuck.

00:04:48
Speaker 2: All the guys had a great attitude about it ill and they knew it was for fun, they knew it was for great cause. TG's one of like just two of our contestants has actually worked in both markets. Maybe that played his.

00:04:56
Speaker 5: Oh you think that was a hell ooh interesting?

00:04:59
Speaker 6: You think by working in both markets he had sort of there was no full road game for him.

00:05:04
Speaker 5: Yeah.

00:05:05
Speaker 2: I think him and Justin Logan are the only two that have worked actually in both markets, and they were both kind of low on their predictions. So maybe maybe that played into it a little bit.

00:05:13
Speaker 6: These guys, you know, they're what There are allegations out there, Shannon, that there are sometimes meteorologists can be snow hoops. Right, there's allegations. Does this this does seem to suggest that that they do enjoy picking high totals.

00:05:30
Speaker 5: Do you agree with that? Yes?

00:05:31
Speaker 3: And I wonder if in the future some of these meteorologists are going to reel it back a little bit and come back to reality and maybe not project such high totals because of what happened here.

00:05:40
Speaker 2: Though.

00:05:40
Speaker 6: That's better to project high and it go low than the other way, right, I mean, because if.

00:05:47
Speaker 5: People are not ready and then they get stuck, isn't that worse?

00:05:51
Speaker 4: I guess it is.

00:05:51
Speaker 3: But look, I mean, like at the end of the show on Friday, we all gave our snow total predictions. I don't even have Doppler radar, and I got closer than some of these guys did.

00:06:01
Speaker 6: You said, But that doesn't mean anything, And it's a one time guest. Now, Ryan, you have for decades been on the thing that you can't predict Mother Nature. I feel like you probably think this was a vindication for you.

00:06:15
Speaker 2: I do you know the uh The good thing was they saw it coming, they warned us we were gone, the snowstorm was coming. But you just can't predict mother Nature. You had no idea how much he was gonna dump on you. It's a ridiculous notion. They can tell you what it's doing right now, they can't tell you what's gonna do this time tomorrow. They just you just can't now.

00:06:32
Speaker 5: But you you worked in a business I did that.

00:06:35
Speaker 6: This is a key part of the economics of that business succeeding local TV news is weather. Do you not worry that, like you're you're undercutting the very foundation of the business you came up in.

00:06:48
Speaker 2: More people tune into local news because of weather. More than anything. Weather drives people do your local newscast. You can't deny that.

00:06:56
Speaker 6: And and you're saying it's wrong, and they don't know what they're doing.

00:07:02
Speaker 2: Well, like I said, they saw it coming, They warned us it was coming. I mean, they all give us the heads up. Hey, there's a chance for a lot of snow coming, And I know that's good. We need to know that when a hurricane's coming in. Hey, there's a chance this hurricane can come and hit Florida, But then it will make a right hand turn and go a different direction.

00:07:20
Speaker 6: It is odd to me, Shannon, that we don't. It feels like everything in life, the science gets.

00:07:26
Speaker 5: More and more science y. But I'm not sure that's true about the weather.

00:07:31
Speaker 6: It feels like the more we learn, the we still are just as close as we were before.

00:07:38
Speaker 3: Right, you would think that now you would be able to get it down to like the tenth of an inch, like we were asking, you could pinpoint it down, but you can't. You can't, you can't. And I think what happened is it just all shifted up north.

00:07:48
Speaker 4: In fifteen it went north.

00:07:52
Speaker 6: But even a lot of those places didn't get quite as much. I know in New York City they were expecting a foot and they got like six inches.

00:07:58
Speaker 5: Now having said that, we got six inches here in Louisville, yep.

00:08:01
Speaker 6: And it makes me wonder what a foot would look like, Shannon, because the town is shut down over six inches.

00:08:08
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, if we got as much as they were projecting, forget about it, like nobody would be I probably wouldn't be here at work right now.

00:08:14
Speaker 5: Yeah, cause six inches. Yesterday.

00:08:16
Speaker 6: I did one of my favorite things to do, which is when you have a big snow like this, Shannon, I like to go out and walk up and down Bardstown.

00:08:25
Speaker 5: Road, you know, a very busy road, because you could.

00:08:28
Speaker 6: Walk in the middle of the street him, no one's there, right, and it's I find it amazingly peaceful, Okay, to be on a major street and no one be there, and I actually find it. I don't know if this seems weird to you all, I actually find it oddly beautiful to be somewhere that's normally a lot of people and it's completely empty and silent.

00:08:51
Speaker 5: Shennon.

00:08:52
Speaker 6: It's one of my favorite things to do, and I got to do that yesterday afternoon.

00:08:55
Speaker 4: Yep, I took.

00:08:56
Speaker 3: I took a little walk last night downtown. Stayed overnight at one of the hotels here, but I took a walk down to Country Boy Brewing and it was cool to just see, you know, all the snow, and like you said, not many people out, maybe a couple of people here or there, but it was it was really nice to.

00:09:10
Speaker 6: Completely every business on Bardstown Road, every single one was closed except the subway.

00:09:16
Speaker 5: The woman. So the subway was open.

00:09:19
Speaker 6: So I thought, I'll go into subway at a boy because it's open, and I'll get a sub. And I asked the woman. It was probably two o'clock and I asked the woman when did you open or how long?

00:09:29
Speaker 5: How many people been here? And she goes, you're number three, And she was there.

00:09:34
Speaker 6: And I got a sub and I gave her a big tip and I sat there. I sat there for a long time. No one else came in, Ryan, but I enjoyed. I haven't eaten it subway in a long time, I'm gonna admit, but it was actually the chicken TERIAKEI sub was pretty good chick a sweet onion chicken Teriaki.

00:09:51
Speaker 2: I know you'd eventually come around to the subway train.

00:09:53
Speaker 5: Well when nothing else is open, and it's a great place.

00:09:57
Speaker 4: Hey, former winner of the KSR Food brush right.

00:10:00
Speaker 5: Still one of.

00:10:01
Speaker 4: The things to Ryan and I voting.

00:10:04
Speaker 6: Still one of the worst culinary culinary predictions that have ever happened.

00:10:10
Speaker 3: Was there was a time where I ate there like twice a week, same for years because it was right down from the radio station at our old location.

00:10:18
Speaker 4: But I haven't the air one years now.

00:10:20
Speaker 5: So all right, So what is it now? Do you think this city will open today?

00:10:25
Speaker 6: I feel like I feel like, you know, there are cars now on the street that I'm on. People are starting to clean off their cars. Do you think the city turns to normal? They say that it's going to be like down the negative degrees tonight, Ryan, what are your thoughts on that?

00:10:43
Speaker 2: Well, at least you know they couldn't catch up cleaning the roads because it just kept snowing. They get cleaned off, then it gets some more snow. Now they got the ice on top of it. That's what's kind of scary. Like my neighborhood has not been touched at all because there's nobody getting out because it's just nothing but a sleeat sheet of ice. So the main thoroughfares I watched the news last night, looks like they like on the Interstate, Like one lane on the Interstate was clear, but I don't know about the other main streets.

00:11:05
Speaker 6: Are people you're downtown, Are people out right now?

00:11:09
Speaker 5: Shannon?

00:11:09
Speaker 4: Not many this morning.

00:11:10
Speaker 3: I mean I walked over you know, it was around six thirty this morning, so I haven't been out since then, but there were very few people out. The problem is like it's not going to get above freezing until next week at some point, so all this ice and stuff is just gonna stay there, just stay there. And school's already closing Jefferson County for tomorrow.

00:11:26
Speaker 5: Are there already closed tomorrow as well?

00:11:28
Speaker 4: Yeah?

00:11:28
Speaker 5: Yep, Well there you go.

00:11:30
Speaker 6: Well, we we are here, and by here I mean my house. We will be, you know, keeping you up through the day and we'll talk about the game, et cetera. I want to go back for a second though, to our weatherman, pick TG shuck winning, right, let's tie to it because people may not know who this is. He was in Lexington for a long time, Am I right? And then did he leave? Did he retire? What happened?

00:11:55
Speaker 2: Yeah? He grew up in Lexington, was a kicker at Lofiyet High School. Kicked at Georgetown College, held the Jory Town College scoring record for years and years and years as a kicker. Was a meteorologist at WKYT, went to Whas and Louisville for a long time. Came back to WTVQ here in Lexington.

00:12:11
Speaker 5: All right, So he is on WTVQ.

00:12:13
Speaker 6: This is almost Shannon like a Kurt Signetti situation.

00:12:17
Speaker 5: In Indiana, all right.

00:12:19
Speaker 6: WTVQ is underfunded, sort of like Indiana football right, often forgotten, considered the third TV station, far behind WKYT and wl e X, rarely gets the respect it deserves and is often an afterthought when talking about Lexington news, sports and weather. And TG shuck comes back, goes to this underdeveloped program and takes them to the national championship. And it shows in the new age of weather, anyone like Kirk Signetti, Shannon, anyone can do it and TG Shuck has been able to do it today.

00:12:57
Speaker 3: His odds were not good. I mean everybody was counting them out.

00:13:00
Speaker 6: He was one of the shots, one of the biggest hundred dogs on the board yep.

00:13:05
Speaker 3: And somehow it comes from behind and is able to win this thing and ten thousand dollars going to charity is pretty awesome for him to.

00:13:11
Speaker 6: The Lexington Humane Society, Ryan, you are a big Lexington Humane Society person.

00:13:16
Speaker 5: Are you happy they got the money?

00:13:18
Speaker 2: Super happy for But I think I've talked to TV last night. He used to be on their board and so this is very near and dear to his heart, the Lexing Humane Society, So you know he's uh. He and I used to do the Sunday morning sports talk radio show on w l AP for like three years together. He and I did it every single You and Shuck yep, me and TG shuck.

00:13:37
Speaker 5: Wow.

00:13:37
Speaker 2: How about that?

00:13:38
Speaker 4: Sure you everything? He knows?

00:13:40
Speaker 5: What did you talk to him about?

00:13:42
Speaker 2: Well?

00:13:43
Speaker 5: UK football?

00:13:43
Speaker 2: You need on Sunday morning after a UK football game, you get it plays Monday morning Quarterback on Sunday morning. So we used to get a ton of calls on that show. It was really popular.

00:13:52
Speaker 5: Are you gonna do anything about those dogs? Are you just gonna let them yap? Yeah?

00:13:55
Speaker 3: During the commercial break, they must have take them to the Lexing in Humane Society.

00:13:59
Speaker 2: Maybe so they came from.

00:14:00
Speaker 6: Have you noticed over the years he always says that the dogs happen to get out the moment the show stopped.

00:14:07
Speaker 5: Where do you what do you put them in? Like? How do they always get out?

00:14:11
Speaker 2: I'm upstairs and they're downstairs. I got a fence gate blocking off the stairs, and they're so smart they can figure out how to get around that gate.

00:14:18
Speaker 5: Have you thought about getting a better gate?

00:14:19
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to or just tow them outside, but they're like they're they're off roll them outside.

00:14:24
Speaker 6: Well, there's a good ad for the legs that you may design throw your dogs out in the snow.

00:14:32
Speaker 5: This is what happens when we let him by himself. Eighty seven.

00:14:37
Speaker 6: Congrats to TG Shuck, Thank you to Commonwealth Causes and Serve pro and White Grier Maggard for joining us. I now have to sha and write a check to a dog's I know that right. There's one thing out of it's it's giving animals money for the puppies. But TG Shuck does it and Ryan Holly y'all with his computers in pikevill Second, thank you to everybody else that participated.

00:15:00
Speaker 5: Uh and all of you who joined. This went viral all over.

00:15:02
Speaker 6: The internet this weekend, and it was because of you guys. We appreciate it. We'll take a break. We'll be right back this chazo there it is, little TG thunderstruck a f nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven.

00:15:15
Speaker 5: Got some open lines.

00:15:16
Speaker 2: Listen.

00:15:17
Speaker 6: I know none of y'all are working or not, none of y'all, but a lot of y'all aren't give us a shout a fem nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. One person rights, Matt, everyone's gotten soft. Forty years ago, Uh, six inches would just be normal. No one would change their life. I don't believe that at least. I hate when people say things like that hit well forty years ago.

00:15:36
Speaker 5: I like no. First of all, they were the streets would have.

00:15:39
Speaker 4: Been worse, Yeah, because we had no idea how to handle.

00:15:42
Speaker 6: It, and the streets would have been worse. There was less four wheel drive, Uh in cars, are you kidding me?

00:15:49
Speaker 5: I hate when people say.

00:15:50
Speaker 3: Things, yeah, that's ridiculous, because yeah, I mean, even like twenty years ago, the way we handle the roads and stuff is differently.

00:15:58
Speaker 6: You want to Ryan, you're old enough to remember, or forty years ago it would have been worse.

00:16:01
Speaker 2: Right, There was a snowstorm forty years ago, like it was in nineteen seventy eight, and we went to school in January for two days. We got stuck at home, only went to school for two days. So yes, it was not worse. I mean, it was not worse today. It was just as bad as back then as it is today.

00:16:17
Speaker 6: We actually may have gotten lucky. I mean, let's talk about what happened to the north. In the south of US. They got sixteen inches in Columbus, Ohio. That would have shut this state down for a week. But what about to the south. Have you all seen the video, the pictures and videos in Oxford, Mississippi.

00:16:34
Speaker 4: It's all the ice and stuff.

00:16:35
Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, that's the worst ice I've ever seen.

00:16:38
Speaker 6: Wow, look up if you have not seen Oxford, Mississippi, two inches of ice the entire square, like down in the center of town, which for those of you that have ever been there for a UK football game or whatever, you've seen trees down everywhere there are thirty thousand houses that have power that get electrical service in Oxford and Ryan twenty nine five.

00:17:01
Speaker 5: Hundred are without.

00:17:02
Speaker 2: Oh my, why look at it.

00:17:04
Speaker 6: You look at the pictures of video that's not getting cleaned up for a long time. There are trees in the middle of like every street that I have a couple of friends that live there.

00:17:16
Speaker 5: I feel really sorry for the like that.

00:17:18
Speaker 6: I don't think that place is gonna be completely fixed for a long time.

00:17:23
Speaker 2: It takes weeks, You're right, because those tree limbs they break and fall on them power lines. When iw you get the power, people have to get down there and fix it. I think there's still like a bunch of people down in southeast of Kentucky without power right now.

00:17:35
Speaker 6: Just in Kentucky, Yeah, just like in southern like you know, like what Wayne County and places like that. I think it's where a lot of it is. But you look at look at that Oxford, Mississippi. I mean that looks that's as bad as I've ever seen.

00:17:49
Speaker 5: Shit.

00:17:50
Speaker 3: An entire light pole has just fallen over onto the streets from the ice.

00:17:55
Speaker 4: That's crazy. You're seeing trees just bended.

00:17:57
Speaker 5: They got literally two inches of ice.

00:17:59
Speaker 6: There was a guy down there who just shows himself walking through trees and pulling it, and I couldn't believe it. So that that that that area of the country, everybody, certainly you know, have prayers there. If I'm nine two twenty two eighty seven, I was in part because you couldn't go anywhere. Watched a lot of TV and read a lot. Let's start with the game, all right, as bad a basketball game as I've ever seen Kentucky and old miss right.

00:18:28
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm serious. Can you think of a worst basketball game?

00:18:30
Speaker 1: No?

00:18:31
Speaker 5: I mean, we won, but it was an awful game.

00:18:34
Speaker 2: Wasn't pretty hard to watch at times.

00:18:36
Speaker 5: At times it was awful.

00:18:39
Speaker 4: A lot of misshots, I mean, I mean.

00:18:43
Speaker 6: We won, but a ton of foul shots, a ton of missshots. I mean, I'm glad we won, but I will say the first half is the worst half of basketball I've ever seen.

00:18:53
Speaker 5: The second half got a little bit better.

00:18:55
Speaker 6: But Ryan, it's one of those which is glad you're winning, and in my opinion, you just throw away to tell you and you don't ever watch.

00:19:00
Speaker 2: An amen that I was gonna say, who cares? As long as you got the w at home. You had to get that one against Homes with your schedule coming up. I had a couple of guys that didn't play very well, but a couple other guys kind of stepped up for Kentucky. So that was kind of good to see.

00:19:12
Speaker 5: Well, let's talk about who's good.

00:19:13
Speaker 6: Away second half showed Ryan why he's the MVP preseason all sec et cetera.

00:19:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, he didn't hit a field goal the first half, and then he kind of just took over, put him on his shoulders. Three point ended up with it. Thinking the thing I like about him, man, he's getting the free throw line. I think he shot like twelve thirteen free throws. He's getting to the getting found and going to the basket.

00:19:35
Speaker 6: Colin Chandler hit a couple of big shots which were important. You got pretty good minutes from from your bigs. The you know, the worst hooking call in the history of basketball, ship that Cook to call that and and one on Away. It still makes me mad. Now had we lost that game, I might have gotten sued. You did say that's how bad that call was.

00:20:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was bad.

00:20:04
Speaker 3: Can you not challenge that or I don't know what challenge foul calls? I guess you can on something like even if it's a hook and.

00:20:10
Speaker 6: Hold it, Well, it wasn't a hook and hold. I think people keep saying that that's a different thing. It was a hook, but he I mean it was clearly a hook. But ran if you don't want to call the hook, okay, whatever, but you can't call the foul in no way in the part of it.

00:20:26
Speaker 5: Right.

00:20:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was blatantly obvious. I mean it was right there too. There was not like there was in a crowd of people. It was just one on one. You saw it. Everybody in the gym saw. We all saw it on TV.

00:20:36
Speaker 5: All right. What about the booing of Travis Party.

00:20:41
Speaker 2: I'm kind of ashamed and embarrassed of our fan base a little bit. I mean I wasn't there, but I heard it was mainly just the students. Maybe we're doing it. That might may be wrong, it's not.

00:20:50
Speaker 6: But then in the postgame show some people called and said it was many much more than so.

00:20:55
Speaker 5: Okay, but but nevertheless it was some group of people. We'll go ahead.

00:20:58
Speaker 2: I mean, he is our States all time high school leading scorer. We loved that kid for four years. I can understand maybe a little when he they introduced me to strain lineup, but every time he touched it during the game, that kind of made my stomach turn a little bit.

00:21:13
Speaker 5: To be honest, all right, Channon, I would think you have the opposite.

00:21:16
Speaker 4: I'm okay with it.

00:21:17
Speaker 3: Look, he chose to leave, he wanted to go to Old Miss and when he comes back, he should expect to get booed. Yeah, he's still a Kentucky and he's always going to be that, but he's playing for the other team now, So I'm perfectly fine with it.

00:21:30
Speaker 6: What about the argument, though, Well, you're not booing the other guys that played for Old Bitch, You're only booing the guy that played here.

00:21:37
Speaker 4: Yeah, because we need you on this year's team. We need Yeah.

00:21:40
Speaker 6: But I don't think fans were upset, Like I don't think most fans were like, please Travis stay right. I think most fans were fine with him leaving.

00:21:53
Speaker 3: I'm just tired of like, don't boo these poor kids. These poor kids are making more money than a lot of us will ever make in our life time. And so I'm not gonna be one of these people who are like, don't.

00:22:03
Speaker 4: Boo the guy.

00:22:04
Speaker 3: If you want to boom boom, I'm not saying I would boom him, but I'm okay with other fans doing it.

00:22:09
Speaker 5: Yeah, I wouldn't boo him.

00:22:10
Speaker 6: I think it was I think it was a little bit of poor for him to do it the whole time. But I will also say this, I think it was done Ryan to rattle him, and that might have worked because he was completely discombobulated when he played and didn't.

00:22:27
Speaker 5: Play a lot.

00:22:27
Speaker 4: Opened the game with the bare ball three.

00:22:29
Speaker 5: Yeah, so it could be the case Ryan that it worked.

00:22:34
Speaker 2: His five seconds into the game, he shoots the first shot of the game and it's an airball off. He just got booed when he got introduced. I think it definitely got in his head a little bit. Didn't score a point the whole game.

00:22:42
Speaker 6: So then is it okay if it had an effect on the game in a positive manner.

00:22:46
Speaker 2: Well, I'm kind of like you. I can kind of see doing it when he introduced, but I just can't believe they did it throughout the whole game.

00:22:51
Speaker 6: I just if they told you, if they told you, if you boo him, he will miss every shot.

00:22:58
Speaker 5: Are you booing him?

00:23:00
Speaker 2: Are we still winning the game? I'm not booming.

00:23:02
Speaker 6: We don't know boo I think at that point then you might have to do it to win.

00:23:06
Speaker 5: We'll be right back. TJ.

00:23:08
Speaker 4: Smith, personal injury attorney, called TJ. He'll make them pay.

00:23:12
Speaker 5: Now.

00:23:13
Speaker 3: More of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.

00:23:16
Speaker 4: Here's Matt Jones working back.

00:23:18
Speaker 5: It is Kentucky Sports Radio.

00:23:19
Speaker 6: If I'm not two eight oh twenty two eighty seven text machine seven seven two four five two five four what person rights, Matt? I see TJ. Shuck's picture. How does Ryan Lemon think that he looks like that guy? That guy's in good shape and has a chiseled jaw.

00:23:37
Speaker 2: I never said I thought I did, but I've been confused for him for twenty five years.

00:23:42
Speaker 6: You did notice how he inserted though people say shit, yeah.

00:23:46
Speaker 4: I you know, with Bradley Cooper for about the last ten years.

00:23:49
Speaker 5: That's kind of what he did.

00:23:51
Speaker 6: He didn't say people confusing with Kevin Hardy, right, he said TG shuck, TG shuck? Yeah, who would you have bet on? Which were you gonna bet on the shuck? Or who were you gonna put place your bet on?

00:24:05
Speaker 2: I probably would have gone with my buddy Bill Mex if I work with him for twelve years. That's what I'll probably would have relied on.

00:24:10
Speaker 5: Okay, well, it wasn't able to get the victory.

00:24:15
Speaker 6: What person rights, Matt, there's one hundred and fifty thousand people in Nashville without power. Any chance our game against Vandy tomorrow is postponed. I haven't heard that. I guess that's always possible, Ryan, I don't think they'll have any problem getting there, But then again, I don't know about the power situation.

00:24:32
Speaker 5: What do you.

00:24:32
Speaker 2: Think I didn't think about that. I don't know what the Vanderbilt campus of what their situation is, but yeah, they gotta fly out this afternoon to get down there. I don't know. I can see him maybe moving the game.

00:24:43
Speaker 5: I mean, the game's Tuesday.

00:24:45
Speaker 6: The problem is the game's on ESPN, right, so ESPN is gonna be very hesitant to move it to a different day.

00:24:51
Speaker 2: That's true theory.

00:24:53
Speaker 6: You could move it to the next day, but then ESPN loses their game.

00:24:58
Speaker 3: So I wonder if that'll have like any change on like what the attendance is for that game.

00:25:03
Speaker 4: Maybe more people will come out if they don't have power, or are they that's.

00:25:06
Speaker 6: Probably we can't have much of an impact. I mean, you know, Vandy all muscle students can just walk to the game.

00:25:13
Speaker 4: A lot of Kentucky fans there.

00:25:14
Speaker 6: Yeah, that it might. It might have an impact on Kentucky fans, you know. So uh, I don't know that that's interesting. The game is not till tomorrow night at nine o'clock, so I think we'll probably have to see how the day goes. Over the course of this, one person writes, Matt, have you done anything to uh to shovel your sidewalks or fix your car?

00:25:38
Speaker 5: Well, I mean you could probably guess the answer to that question.

00:25:40
Speaker 6: I went outside with a brush last night, chanting and brush the stuff.

00:25:45
Speaker 4: What a hair brushed brush like?

00:25:49
Speaker 5: I don't know.

00:25:50
Speaker 6: Like it's a brush brush, not a hair brush like. It's a big brush like you would brush a broom.

00:25:56
Speaker 5: It's not a broom like.

00:25:59
Speaker 2: It's just a brush.

00:26:00
Speaker 5: It's a big crun.

00:26:01
Speaker 4: I think you're gonna do with six inches of snow with a brush.

00:26:04
Speaker 5: Well, I brushed all the snow off the frontie.

00:26:06
Speaker 4: You brush your teeth, You're gonna brush all it.

00:26:09
Speaker 5: It's a big brush, it's not it's not like a little brush. Okay, And I brushed it all off, so it's not on there.

00:26:15
Speaker 4: Do you own a shovel?

00:26:17
Speaker 3: No, so there's no chance you could shovel yourself out if you needed to get your car out of the snow.

00:26:22
Speaker 5: No, I mean I have to use my foot. We're gonna was.

00:26:26
Speaker 3: He Were you the one using a credit card trying to screen off of your wind showed a couple of years ago.

00:26:30
Speaker 5: Yes, one time, one time, one time.

00:26:33
Speaker 2: So what are you gonna do to get the ice off your car? You got the snow off the ice.

00:26:37
Speaker 5: It doesn't seem to Shannon. I it didn't have ice on the car last night.

00:26:41
Speaker 6: Now it might now, but it was just all snow and that's part of why I went and brushed it so it wouldn't freeze.

00:26:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you're gonna walk where you go anyway, probably today, So you're you're in good shape.

00:26:51
Speaker 4: You're okay.

00:26:52
Speaker 5: Yeah.

00:26:52
Speaker 6: Now, apparently there's a new ordnance in Lexington that passed last year, Ryan that says if you get four inch of.

00:27:00
Speaker 5: Snow, you have to shovel your sidewalk. Did you know this?

00:27:04
Speaker 2: I did not know this. I've never heard this.

00:27:06
Speaker 6: So this I don't know if this is in Louisville, but in Lexington last year a city ordinance was passed that if at least four inches of snow are on the ground, you have to shovel the sidewalk in front of.

00:27:19
Speaker 4: Your house or what they gonna come arrest you.

00:27:22
Speaker 5: I think it's a ticket.

00:27:23
Speaker 3: They're gonna ticket you. Do you think somebody's gonna go around and.

00:27:28
Speaker 2: Look, there's a.

00:27:28
Speaker 6: Story in the Hair Leader this morning, right next to the story about the girl's new T shirt that.

00:27:34
Speaker 2: Says, uh mill Bobby Brown.

00:27:37
Speaker 6: Yeah, that says you need to shovel, and it even says go help your elderly neighbors do it, but suggested that it was now in effect. I didn't know this, and I bet you most people in Lexington don't know it. But apparently if you do not shovel in front of your house the sidewalk, Ryan, you can now get a ticket.

00:27:58
Speaker 2: I want to know what you're doing walking out in front of my house, my sidewalk when it's got four inches of snow and it's twelve degrees outside.

00:28:05
Speaker 3: You know, they take a lot like measure to see if you've got four inches in your driveway.

00:28:08
Speaker 6: No, No, the four inches is a city wide thing and it has been from again.

00:28:13
Speaker 5: According to this story, it has been triggered.

00:28:16
Speaker 6: So Ryan, unless you want to go to the pokey, you need to go out there and start shoveling.

00:28:23
Speaker 2: I think so they want me to risk injury slipping on the ice.

00:28:27
Speaker 5: I'm just telling you what this article kind.

00:28:29
Speaker 4: If you went to Jael, at least you'd have somebody to hang out with. You wouldn't be by yourself. Look at it like that.

00:28:35
Speaker 3: I just can't believe there'd be somebody actually going door to door to see it.

00:28:39
Speaker 6: They have not said that, like they're going door to door.

00:28:43
Speaker 4: Yeah, but but it does.

00:28:46
Speaker 6: This article I read it this morning, said that that exists, that there's there's an ordinance, and it doesn't say about Louisville. I don't know if Louisville has one, but that Lexington has that ordinance.

00:28:57
Speaker 2: I just don't understand why I have to risk injury to prevent somebody else from slipping in and they're walking around when it's twelve.

00:29:02
Speaker 5: Because that's what society is.

00:29:04
Speaker 4: But your driveway, I mean, you're not gonna be in my.

00:29:06
Speaker 6: Drive the driveway, you know, it's the sidewalk. So he doesn't have to do his driveway, he has to do his sidewalk.

00:29:12
Speaker 3: I got you all right. I kind of felt like that's that should be the city's thing. I mean, the city owns the sidewalk, right.

00:29:19
Speaker 2: City on the sidewalk?

00:29:20
Speaker 5: Do I have to shove on my sidewalk with more hair? Mean, this is the right story.

00:29:24
Speaker 6: With more than five inches of snow, many area roads and sidewalks are impassable. Lexington has a plan for clearing city owned sidewalks. Blah blah blah blah blah. A city ordinate says private sidewalks in front of homes and businesses must be cleared within twenty four hours after the snow stops.

00:29:41
Speaker 2: Well they can, they can kiss my button. I'm not getting out there and doing it. I Am not doing it.

00:29:47
Speaker 5: When did you become like this is a law.

00:29:50
Speaker 6: Do you just think you can just say to the to authorities, I'm flaunting the law.

00:29:55
Speaker 2: I am near.

00:29:57
Speaker 5: Are you gonna go up.

00:29:58
Speaker 6: To the police officers and say police off so you can kiss my butt.

00:30:01
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna shovel my side walk.

00:30:03
Speaker 2: I say, look, and you want to shovel the snow, get to it.

00:30:06
Speaker 6: But the police officer is gonna say the losses you have to shovel it.

00:30:09
Speaker 2: Well, kiss my butt. I am not going to risk a heart attack.

00:30:14
Speaker 5: A heart attack.

00:30:16
Speaker 2: I'm I'm close to the elderly age. I'm not gonna get out there and get a heart attack. Shoveling next night, and.

00:30:20
Speaker 5: You should take the who's your city council member?

00:30:23
Speaker 2: I don't know.

00:30:26
Speaker 6: You should take your complaints to them, but as of right now, there is a uh here. I just got this message. I walked my dog yesterday. It would be nice for people like Ryan to clear their sidewalks so that my dog and I can walk up the side.

00:30:41
Speaker 3: For your dog, though, your dog can go take a hike somewhere else. It doesn't need to be walking on my driveway to begin with.

00:30:47
Speaker 5: It's not your driveway. Well, it's your sidewalk.

00:30:49
Speaker 4: I know, but the sidewalk goes through my driveway.

00:30:52
Speaker 6: All right, I'm just saying Ryan has officially told the Lexington police to kiss his butt.

00:30:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, I am.

00:30:59
Speaker 5: Not doing it.

00:31:00
Speaker 6: I'm just telling you. I'm reading the rule. Who's up first, Jonathan? Go ahead, Jonathan.

00:31:06
Speaker 8: It's actually safer to walk on the snow right now the way it is, and to walk on a shovel sidewalk.

00:31:13
Speaker 5: I think that's probably right.

00:31:14
Speaker 8: Yeah, you've got to actually more of a chance of slipping and busting your ear in and on that thing you do just walking on packed in snow.

00:31:22
Speaker 5: So are you telling what apple to kiss your butt to?

00:31:24
Speaker 2: Sir? Uh?

00:31:27
Speaker 8: Yeah, as a matter of fact, that a boy.

00:31:30
Speaker 5: Yeah, the movement has begun.

00:31:34
Speaker 8: Duell birds to him. Got My question is is what was it? What was the actual officials snowfall total? I haven't heard for some reason.

00:31:45
Speaker 6: So the official one that I have is that Louisville Airport said six point one and Lexington said, uh, four point one. But but even that's a little const It won't change the winner either way unless Louisville gets over like ten, which is not gonna.

00:32:01
Speaker 8: Happen, or word than TG shook ended up winning. I thought that.

00:32:06
Speaker 6: All y'all, he did, but he was way over in Louisville. Okay, So if it was just Lexington Ryan Hall, y'all would have been the winter.

00:32:15
Speaker 5: But he was so far off in Louisville.

00:32:17
Speaker 6: TG had it much lower in Louisville, so TG was overall less off.

00:32:22
Speaker 4: Yeah, Ryan said thirteen point seven, Ryan Hall?

00:32:25
Speaker 6: Yeah, right, Hall was too high in Louisville, so he was point when when you had him up, Uh, TG was point one closer than Rhyane Hall.

00:32:34
Speaker 8: Okay, well, the other thing I was going to say, just to talk about this, this Travis Perry deal the other day. You know, yeah, I probably booed some people that over over times that maybe I shouldn't have. But I wouldn't have booed that kid the other day. I mean, he's a Kentucky kid, and and you know, he played here last year. I think in a pretty serviceable role considering the situation, and did I I felt pretty good. And if we had him right now, him being a point guard, you know, we're point guard shy right now. He might not be the best guy on the team, but he would still be a serviceable player. Yeah, he probably would have a player that you would have here for four years.

00:33:19
Speaker 6: He would get some minutes probably, I don't know how many, but he would get some minutes. So I understand, I actually and I appreciate the call, sir. I understand both sides of it. I can understand why the kids did it. I can understand why people like Ryan don't like it. You know, it's just kind of one of those things. And I think people feel more empowered taboo now in the nil revshare Era maybe than they did before. Ringing the new year with a new ride at Don Franklin US from thousands of new and certified pre own vehicles go the distance with powertrain protection on certified pre om make some models. It's Don Franklin or Don Franklin Auto dot Com driven by family. There's one near you check about you'll find the vehicle you need at down Franklin. I just got a text message from a cop friend of mine that says, tell Ryan don't say kiss my butt or else people will actually take him up on it.

00:34:13
Speaker 2: I want to come kiss my butt.

00:34:16
Speaker 5: I don't think that's what he means.

00:34:17
Speaker 2: I think that's what he means.

00:34:18
Speaker 5: If you're going to.

00:34:19
Speaker 6: Challenge that, you're gonna violate the resolution.

00:34:22
Speaker 5: I don't think he literally said he was going to come and do that.

00:34:27
Speaker 2: Well, I can see there's no snow tracks in my driveway, nothing on my sidewalk or anybody coming around my area, so I ain't shilling it.

00:34:36
Speaker 5: One person says, I'm a first responder.

00:34:38
Speaker 6: It's nice to have the sidewalk clear because what if Ryan has a heart attack and we have to get into his house where your snow boots a we gonna hurt you were your snow boots, and be careful when you're walking up my ice covered driveway. There you go, Brian is where he's taking a stand. We'll take a break very back, as are Barker back Techie Smarts Radio. A lot of people weighing in on Ryan's refusal to to shovel his sidewalk. You got some supporters, you got some detractors, Just so you know, I.

00:35:16
Speaker 2: Mean, it's eventually gonna melt. What I gotta get out there, and it's not like a week and a half. Well, then stay inside, don't walk. Don't walk for a week and a half.

00:35:23
Speaker 6: Have to leave your house at some point in the next week and a half. I think that's probably the case. All right, meteorologists madness. Ten thousand dollars going to charity to the winner, and our winner joining us now on the phone from WTVQ TG thundershuck Yeah, TG, congrats on the wind.

00:35:46
Speaker 4: Thanks Matt.

00:35:47
Speaker 7: I actually don't know whether to say thank you or apologize or in which order.

00:35:52
Speaker 5: Well, I know you won, you ended up down. Yeah, Now everyone was off by decent amount. Why do you think that? Why did that happen?

00:36:00
Speaker 2: Well?

00:36:00
Speaker 5: I was going to explain that.

00:36:02
Speaker 7: First off, yes, everybody missed it by a country mile. The Weather Service did, all the TV people did, Internet people did. The reason that it happened was this. It was the timing of the storm relative to when we had to have our picks in. Because the show, your final show of the week was on Friday morning. The snow didn't start until Saturday afternoon. What changed from and again, in support of all my illustrious weather colleagues don't nice enough to do this contest, Yes, we were literally all in the same boat. Let's say, for example, the snow was going to start on a Wednesday afternoon, Well, you got a show on Wednesday morning. You would have had us have our picks in in ten thirty eleven o'clock and talk about it. What four to six hours before it started snowing?

00:36:56
Speaker 5: What changed between.

00:36:58
Speaker 7: When we locked it in on Friday morning and when everything started on Saturday. It was trending that way and it went full bore Friday night into Saturday morning, that dreaded warm nose that we all love to talk about. Yeah, I've seen it a thousand times. It always works up to the I sixty four quarter or at the last minute. I mean, and Ryan talked about it, what last hour He and I did the sports radio show here on Lap twenty five years ago.

00:37:27
Speaker 5: I mean, I've been doing this around.

00:37:29
Speaker 7: Here collectively between Lexington and Louisville twenty years here, six years over at whas it always happens. And that's what impacted my quote combined totals.

00:37:42
Speaker 6: So it was a warm so the worm note, the warm nose comes, pushes it north and then but but just that, why do you think, I mean, you guys all know the warm noses coming?

00:37:54
Speaker 5: Was it warm nosier this time than the more to other times?

00:37:59
Speaker 7: It eventually got there. But see, we use guidance, and let me emphasize that's all these different models that people throw around and talk around about and you see floating around the internet. Again, that's just guidance.

00:38:15
Speaker 5: It's not the sabdest so to speak.

00:38:19
Speaker 7: Literally, some of them were still kicking out fourteen fifteen sixteen inches of snow even as late as Friday afternoon and Friday evening. But again, I guarantee you if you would have had everybody have their picks in by say, Saturday morning, by eleven thirty, they would have been reduced by probably a third across the board because everything was cutting down the overall snow total and bringing that icing farther north and again keeping her eye on the ball here. Has the system been hugely disruptive and impactful.

00:38:57
Speaker 5: Absolutely, it's a mess.

00:38:58
Speaker 7: Obviously, I'll work like last night, and the road crews have done an amazing job. I know there's tons of people sitting in the dark and cold done in southern Kentucky and that's awful, but people get so caught up in the snow totals and obviously the KSR curse of focusing.

00:39:16
Speaker 6: On I would literally just I think you guys were all great sports to do it, Okay, like I do. I mean it was we raised money for charity. It also I think brought awareness to people of what was coming, et cetera. So I don't I don't criticize you all at all for being off. As a matter of fact, Listen, it comes with the territory. You know, it's an occupational hazard.

00:39:43
Speaker 7: I've been doing this so long there's rarely a day that goes by that I'm not burned in effigy.

00:39:48
Speaker 6: And now well you're not by me. I'm here to I'm actually because I just got a couple of minutes left. I'm here to praise TG Shuck. I did not know you were back on a Lexington TV until this contest, and and when I learned, it made me happy because you have a great name, TG Thundershuck. And then you picked the Lexington You Maine Society. So in the last minute or two here, I want to actually praise you for not only winning, but for being a good sport and enjoining it. And then I want you to tell me why you picked the Lexington Humane Society.

00:40:18
Speaker 7: Well, first of all, I appreciate that greatly. I love how my odds were like plus four thousand.

00:40:23
Speaker 5: I didn't do that.

00:40:24
Speaker 7: That's Jay and Lynch one of the only Yeah, I'm one of the only two mets besides Justin Logan that worked both in Lexington and Louisville and have been doing it that long besides me.

00:40:34
Speaker 4: Favorite, yeah, yeah, yeah, there you go.

00:40:36
Speaker 7: And Nick Rouse, thank you for the support for calling that out on Thursday night of the long odds. But to match point, Lexington You Maine Society. I was on the board between two thousand and two thousand and six. Allan Stein was on there with me as well, and a number of other you know, civic leaders here in Lexington. We strategic plan, fund raise and got that new shelter which is this is going on twenty years old now, built while I was on the board, which was all volunteers, of course, because the old one had fallen into hard times. It was dilapidated, very much needed. So I always have had a soft spot for animals and have animals myself, of.

00:41:16
