00:00:37
Speaker 2: Welcome everyone.

00:00:38
Speaker 5: It is Kentucky Sports Radio. Monday, January sixth. I am Matt Jones in Kentucky. Snow Day across a large part of the state. All across the state. We got parts that are engulfed in snow, parts that are snow and ice. And then some of you all got aways scott free. But we're all most of us home for the and you can give a shout the Clark's pupping shot fall Light eight. I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. A Vision Auto Glass text machine seven seven two seven seventy four five two five four, and this edition, sponsored by the T J. Smith Love is called t J. I'll make them pay, all right. So I'm in Louisville at my house. Shannon is in Louisville in the studio. Ryan is in Lexington in the house. Ryan, I'll start with you. I guess. So Louisville it looks like got yesterday nine inches of snow and ice, and then it's still snowing right now.

00:01:33
Speaker 2: I think Lexington maybe got a little bit less.

00:01:36
Speaker 5: But uh, Louisville is for all intents and purposes, completely shut down. I walked the streets last night and it was dead silent, which is one of the cooler things I think happens when it snows.

00:01:49
Speaker 2: How are things in your neck of the woods.

00:01:51
Speaker 6: We probably only got about six inches of snow, so we didn't get near as much snow as I think they did in Louisville. But like my buddy Dante's drove to work this morning. He's big who wheel drive truck, and he said the roads were awful, awful, so he turned around and came back home.

00:02:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're pretty bad, you know.

00:02:08
Speaker 5: Yesterday Shannon, it hit me about noon that if I didn't go sort of foraging for food, I might not eat for the next two days.

00:02:19
Speaker 4: You didn't go out and get your bread and milk?

00:02:20
Speaker 5: Well, well, I mean I was doing my ESPN show and I was like, you know what, I'm gonna get door Dashed for lunch. And while I was ordering, door Dash shut down and then I went, oh, yeah, you know if DoorDash says, they're not gonna even let those people on the road. So when my show was over, I just walked. There was one restaurant open with six blocks of.

00:02:42
Speaker 2: Where I lived.

00:02:43
Speaker 7: You're lucky one Indian restaurant.

00:02:46
Speaker 5: So I went in there, and you want to talk about Shannon a big tip? I gave that guy a big tip because I was the only person in there. I felt like he had opened his building just for me.

00:02:54
Speaker 8: Yeah, and then how about this, You know how I talk about how I don't have any like I don't talk to any of my neighbors. I have a new neighbor who knocked on my door and asked if I wanted vegetable soup last night. I don't know if she She said her dad listen to the show and knows I can't cook.

00:03:14
Speaker 4: Well, you know, what is it that pitiful?

00:03:16
Speaker 2: Like it is?

00:03:17
Speaker 4: It's also very kind.

00:03:18
Speaker 5: It is very kind, but it's also a little pitiful. She was, like, my dad says, you can't cook. I have extra vegetable soup and that was my dinner last night.

00:03:29
Speaker 3: I think you should just start doing this every day. Like why I even have to go out and get anything. Just rely on your neighbor, to.

00:03:35
Speaker 5: Neighbors whose parents know that I can't cook, and just have them bring food.

00:03:39
Speaker 3: Let the entire neighborhood. No, I can't cook. I need food. You know, I'm pitiful.

00:03:44
Speaker 5: I'm gonna today when this show's over, I'm putting on all the gear because I love Ryan.

00:03:50
Speaker 2: I love walking in the snow.

00:03:51
Speaker 5: Now we have a layer of ice on top of our snow now, so it's not it's not quite as yesterday. It was fluffy, right like its fluff and fun and happy. Now it's a little crunchy. But I do love. I love being in a city when it's mostly silence, and that's what it's gonna be kind of like today in Louisville.

00:04:11
Speaker 6: Well, be careful, man, because there's ice everywhere, and it looks like with the way the temperatures, it's not melting anytime soon.

00:04:17
Speaker 7: It's gonna be around for a while.

00:04:18
Speaker 3: Does this mean I'm going to get another Matt Jones bruised butt picture sentiment?

00:04:24
Speaker 4: Pretty got enough of those.

00:04:25
Speaker 5: I don't think we have as much like I see pictures Shanning from around the state. I don't think we have as much ice as everybody else. I think we have more snow. Yeah, and I think the ice maybe was well, just like what Chris Bailey said a little bit south of us, because I see that, like just south of us, it seems like it's kind of brutal with the ice, like hanging off the power lines and stuff. Shannon, we don't really have that.

00:04:47
Speaker 2: Right here right.

00:04:48
Speaker 3: But I can tell you though, just driving in yesterday at twelve thirty, I don't know, man, Maybe I should have came in earlier. I was driving down the middle of Geen Snyder Freeway. I didn't know if I was on the road or not. I just drove down what I thought was the middle of the road. Couldn't see in front of me, nobody behind me, nobody in front of me.

00:05:05
Speaker 2: Video.

00:05:05
Speaker 4: That was the scariest drive I've ever had.

00:05:08
Speaker 3: At one point I had to pull over because my windshield was just frozen. I couldn't see it like through my windshield, and I was driving maybe twenty five miles an hour on sixty five going north, which was I.

00:05:18
Speaker 5: Don't want to know who these people are that think they can drive their little tiny cars around.

00:05:24
Speaker 4: They're the ones that end up in the ditch.

00:05:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, who are these people? Like?

00:05:27
Speaker 5: Yesterday, you know the street I live on, Shannon, I had to within five minutes push two people in my street, like it's just a neighborhood street. They got stuck, and one of them had this little tiny car and I almost looked at him and go, where.

00:05:42
Speaker 2: Do you think you're going? Like really, like.

00:05:44
Speaker 5: Do you really think this car it's gonna make it wherever it is you're trying to go? Like why do people just ryan think that they're invincible and that their cars can drive through anything.

00:05:55
Speaker 6: I don't know, I don't know, maybe their newbies, Maybe they just moved it from Florida. Don't understand how you're supposed to stay at home and not drive on the ice. But you know, now, I just saw some reports this morning, so many families and counties without power.

00:06:06
Speaker 7: I mean it's Yeah, so there.

00:06:07
Speaker 5: Are some counties I think it's like what Ryan Henderson, I think has a really bad power outage.

00:06:14
Speaker 2: Maybe it like Bowling Greeny Town area, Yeah right, really bad. Huh Yeah.

00:06:20
Speaker 5: So prayers to all those people, because I do think there are areas just to the south of us that maybe didn't get much snow but are having them now to deal with a lot of power issues. So but how about a shout out, Shannon for our weather people that you know, there was the famous graphic that looked a little phallic, right, yeah, the snow bank. You know, it did got a little attention. It looks like that was kind of true, like cause it was like that area got the most snow and ice snow was north, Ice South. It looked like the weather people, Shannon did they kind of nailed.

00:06:57
Speaker 4: They know that we definitely got screwed.

00:06:59
Speaker 3: I mean it was crazy the amount of snow that came down so quickly. It's like ten minutes after it started. I looked outside, My road has already covered within ten minutes.

00:07:08
Speaker 5: It was all during my ESPN show yesterday, it was like ten to one. Yes, yeah, that was when that was when it hit. And I sit here at my desk and just watched it grow as it went. You hate weather people, Ryan, You think they all should be out on the street. Did they deserve a handshake for for they feels like they.

00:07:26
Speaker 6: Called this our boys, Bill met Chris Bailey, TG shuck here in town. They all got it right. Every one of them got it right. So kudos to the weather guys.

00:07:35
Speaker 5: Yeah, they kept breaking into the game, the game and uh and giving us updates.

00:07:40
Speaker 6: I did, like cal you know here in Lexington on KYT they did usually wait till a commercial break before they came in with their weather update, so they didn't really cover the game.

00:07:51
Speaker 5: That was good because there was you know, and I'll say this, Shannon, it was good vegetable soup like it.

00:07:57
Speaker 4: I'm I'm glad you took her up on it.

00:07:58
Speaker 2: It was it was good.

00:07:59
Speaker 5: She brought it is in a big tupperware thing. I'm gonna return to tupperware because that's what neighbors do. She sure you didn't know you return the tupperware and.

00:08:07
Speaker 4: Uh, as for the recipe so you can make I mean I had.

00:08:11
Speaker 2: A lot of stuff I wouldn't buy.

00:08:12
Speaker 4: Like like vegetables.

00:08:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, like if I'm not gonna buy the squash, like.

00:08:16
Speaker 7: I don't know, think about it.

00:08:17
Speaker 6: Shit, and this this is this neighbor risk getting injured walking on icy sidewalks.

00:08:22
Speaker 5: Make it is a good neighbor. It is very nice. She just moved in recently. But uh, yeah, I don't know what color is squash?

00:08:31
Speaker 2: Is that yellow?

00:08:32
Speaker 4: Yeah?

00:08:33
Speaker 5: Yeah?

00:08:33
Speaker 7: Yellowish?

00:08:34
Speaker 5: Okay, Yeah, I'm not gonna buy that. But it was was good in the soup.

00:08:38
Speaker 7: So what are you eating today?

00:08:40
Speaker 2: Well, I'm gonna go walking. Somebody's gonna be open. I mean I.

00:08:44
Speaker 4: Gonna eat No.

00:08:45
Speaker 5: I mean kash bars closed in Lexington, and there's a lot more snow here in Louisville. I mean you said five and we have nine. That's a big difference in my opinion. So it's gonna be hard. I don't know who's open, but somebody, Shannon is open.

00:08:59
Speaker 3: Do you not have like just like I don't know, maybe a frozen right now for a frozen pizza or something.

00:09:05
Speaker 5: I have grapes and then I have you remember when the woman gives me the candy that's air rated or whatever.

00:09:10
Speaker 2: You know, I have that candy. Yeah, it's freeze.

00:09:15
Speaker 4: Strike can eat sugar all day like Elvis.

00:09:17
Speaker 5: I'm not I'm not, which is why I mean, listen, I found a place open yesterday. I had someone give me soup. I just got like two more meals. I feel like back tomorrow stuff, some stuff will be open. So I just gotta get through today.

00:09:30
Speaker 4: Shannon, it's a good day to too fast. You know, he can start a diet today.

00:09:34
Speaker 2: It's not I'm not doing Ramadan. That's not me. I'm just I'm just I'm gonna I'm gonna walk. Somebody's gonna be open around here.

00:09:40
Speaker 5: I have a feeling. If not, I bet my Indian friend will be open again. But but it was. It's it's been a great weekend. I enjoy it feels like the world slows down with the snow.

00:09:51
Speaker 2: That's good and uh.

00:09:53
Speaker 5: It also allows us to celebrate the win on Saturday, because that was a what a great win.

00:10:00
Speaker 2: One hundred and six.

00:10:01
Speaker 5: To one hundred only the fourth time since nineteen ninety two that Kentucky's played a game where both teams scored one hundred points, and it was, in my opinion, Ryan, if you were to sort of summarize the best of college basketball, that was that game.

00:10:20
Speaker 2: Great environment, great crowd, high level.

00:10:24
Speaker 5: Offensive play from both teams right, both teams making contested shots, hitting big buckets. The game kind of it didn't go back and forth. We had to lead the vast majority of the end of the first half and the second half, but.

00:10:38
Speaker 2: Florida was never out of it.

00:10:40
Speaker 5: They just kept coming, kept coming, and we made play after play and then they would hit shots. I just thought, and then we won, which of course makes it better. I just thought it was an excellent, excellent college basketball game.

00:10:52
Speaker 6: I think we should petition to have every game start at eleven o'clock, because you're right.

00:10:55
Speaker 2: You think so. You think that time of day is what does it? Man?

00:10:58
Speaker 6: It was awesome. I mean, you argue your gist that the team. It was a great game to watch. The team played great, they shot great, the crowd was great. Our pre game at ks Bar at nine o'clock was great. I mean everything about it was great. And we had the rest of the night to ourselves. I think we should play all our games. He always watched the rest of the night to himself, what is he doing?

00:11:18
Speaker 4: Like he's not doing it, Cubs.

00:11:21
Speaker 2: He goes to the.

00:11:22
Speaker 5: He wants to go to the to the under Gason speak easy. But I loved it and it was a I think it's a huge win for the team. I mean, you know, you look at that SEC schedule. It's gonna be hard for us to win the league. It's gonna be hard for us to even lose, you know what, four games or less. But it would have been almost impossible if we lost this game, if you just look at the schedule and to get out there and get that win and then have all six of our main guys, and I basically think this team is seven main guys. If you throw in in Garrison, that's really the team. They're good guy, They're guys that come in and do stuff. Youan Travis Perry played Almanor was plus twenty. I'm not sure how that happened, but he was. But we had six dudes in double figures. They tend to be the six dudes that are that are the big scores. And Ryan, they all had their moments that were key for the victory.

00:12:12
Speaker 9: Yeah.

00:12:12
Speaker 6: I listened to your postgame show and you kind of went down what each guy did, and each guy did just played one of their best games of the season, all at the same time.

00:12:19
Speaker 7: It seemed they all played great.

00:12:21
Speaker 2: We don't win if any.

00:12:23
Speaker 5: Of those six guys don't play well, You run about like they each had and I won't go if you listen to the postgame show, which what else are you gonna do today? You might as well listen on podcasts if you.

00:12:33
Speaker 2: Go through it.

00:12:34
Speaker 5: We don't win if each of those guys don't have their thing. Yeah, A couple of things that amazed me. I didn't know this until yesterday. I saw it online.

00:12:41
Speaker 2: Ryan.

00:12:42
Speaker 5: Did you know Otega Away has scored in double digits every game this year?

00:12:46
Speaker 6: I did not know that. Nope, I know he was our leading scorer, but didn't know he had double digits.

00:12:49
Speaker 2: It amazing, though, would you have?

00:12:51
Speaker 5: I mean, I mean I thought he was gonna be the sixth man and he scored in double digits in every game this year.

00:12:58
Speaker 6: Yeah, when we kept talking about our starting, we all had Kobe there.

00:13:02
Speaker 7: We put him in it, put him in there, and.

00:13:05
Speaker 2: Then Kobe Braya Shannon no seven.

00:13:07
Speaker 4: Threes, forget about it.

00:13:09
Speaker 2: Forget about it.

00:13:10
Speaker 5: Like the dude that play where Garrison does the pump fake, then gives it to him and he pump fakes the guy twice. That dude should just retire. They got pump fake three times and then Brea hits the three.

00:13:22
Speaker 2: That to me was he he was.

00:13:24
Speaker 4: Unbelievable, seven out of nine.

00:13:26
Speaker 3: And you know, I'd be fine with Kobe Brea taking nine or ten shots every game. Of course, you know the game they lost against Clemson was because he only shot the ball like once or twice the entire game.

00:13:35
Speaker 4: Let him go, man, let him cook.

00:13:36
Speaker 5: Let him doing most important play of the game, an inbound play from underneath right.

00:13:43
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, two point game.

00:13:45
Speaker 5: They run an inbound play which, if you watch, had three or four different options of guys who if they had been opened, got the ball.

00:13:52
Speaker 2: All of them got closed off.

00:13:54
Speaker 5: So the last option was the inbounder and he hits Lamont Butler, he hits the three, and Ryan that was the Bigges shout it again.

00:14:01
Speaker 6: Set that play up during that call that time out. I think there was three seconds left and Pope said.

00:14:05
Speaker 5: They had never run it before. Pope said they had never run it. He drew it up in the huddle.

00:14:10
Speaker 7: Man, that's something.

00:14:11
Speaker 6: We haven't seen around here in a long time, coming up in the huddle, or drawing up plays and set up set out of bounds plays for a bucket.

00:14:18
Speaker 5: You're allowed, Shannon to draw up plays in the huddle. I didn't know I forgot.

00:14:22
Speaker 4: I didn't know you could either. Wow, it's a great thing.

00:14:26
Speaker 2: It's great tee, so a huge win. We want to talk to you about it.

00:14:30
Speaker 5: Also, if you're if you, if you, if you have vegetable soup, you want to bring over eight five nine two eighth.

00:14:35
Speaker 2: Twenty two eighty seven.

00:14:37
Speaker 5: Uh, Shannon's at summer camp in downtown.

00:14:40
Speaker 2: He and Vanani apparently had like a pool party party last year.

00:14:43
Speaker 3: I felt like, for one night only, I brought back Tony Vannetti's circa nineteen ninety eight.

00:14:48
Speaker 2: You mean he didn't rant about the vaccine.

00:14:51
Speaker 4: We were partying, We were having a great time. We were training old radio war stories with each other.

00:14:56
Speaker 5: It was there's nothing better than the people who have become Internet like angry people to go back to normal for a day, because it's like you get them, get.

00:15:04
Speaker 4: Them backed makes everybody happy.

00:15:06
Speaker 5: Yes, that's exactly right. We'll take a break. We'll be right back here. It's KSR on a snow day in Kentucky. Walter back, it is Kentucky Sports Radio A nine two eight twenty two eighty seven. I got people who've written from Henderson and it looks like from for sales at e Town, all of which have said they're out of power but listening to the show either on radio or be a generator. So be thinking about you guys hanging there. Hopefully that'll get fixed. I mean, I think they probably there's probably less people without power than they thought there was gonna be, but there's still I think I saw like sixty eight thousand people in the state, so Ryan, that's a lot of people. So hopefully that will get fixed as the day goes on.

00:15:52
Speaker 6: Man, you know, and if you can't check on your neighbors, you know these areas that don't have power, Man, go check on your neighbors. Make sure they have something to eat, like your boy, Matt and the man need a little vegetable.

00:16:00
Speaker 5: Yes, being checking out your neighbors, what person writes Matt, that sounds like a Hallmark movie. How nice of the person to think of you. It is very nice, Like, you know, because I would have not had dinner last.

00:16:11
Speaker 4: Because you weren't gonna check on them.

00:16:13
Speaker 2: We know that I probably wasn't gonna check on them.

00:16:16
Speaker 4: I gotta ask you a question.

00:16:17
Speaker 3: Somebody on Twitter wants to know, is there any chance that Matt actually washes the tupperware bowl before he sends it back.

00:16:24
Speaker 4: I did, Oh you did, Yeah, I just rinsed it.

00:16:28
Speaker 5: Well, first I just rents it out and then I was like, oh, there's still this film. Yeah, so I got the soap. I got the soap, and I got a little pad.

00:16:38
Speaker 2: You know, what do you call those things that you clean with with the pad? And what are you laughing at?

00:16:46
Speaker 4: You have no idea what you're talking about.

00:16:48
Speaker 2: It's a pad.

00:16:48
Speaker 4: It's a pad.

00:16:50
Speaker 5: I went and I scrubbed it and I got all the little vegetable soup film and I put it back in the bag and it's on my porch and on as I walk to lunch.

00:16:58
Speaker 2: I'm gonna drop it off at their house.

00:17:00
Speaker 7: It's very nice with a little note please refill for tonight.

00:17:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, act like it's like a service.

00:17:09
Speaker 5: Nurse rights Matt. I run a restaurant in Louisville. No one is open. I mean no one. You can walk around all day, You're not gonna find any food. Well, I'm going to find it. Somebody's open. Somebody's gonna like somebody else see this as an opportunity.

00:17:23
Speaker 3: Right somebody, Yeah, somebody will call in and tell us they're open.

00:17:27
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I have to be able to walk to it. I'm not driving. I tried yesterday.

00:17:31
Speaker 5: I did the thing they tell you to do where you like start your car, clean it off, move it a little bit, so you know what I mean.

00:17:36
Speaker 2: So I did that, but I'm just gonna leave it. Why try to get out today? What's the point?

00:17:41
Speaker 7: No, you don't want to be driving around today?

00:17:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's the point? I mean?

00:17:44
Speaker 5: You know there's already there's people who have to go to work, like nurses and doctors and shit, I saw the libraries are open.

00:17:52
Speaker 2: Who knew that they kept?

00:17:53
Speaker 5: I mean, they're like, we gotta have the libraries today.

00:17:56
Speaker 4: Essential workers, I guess.

00:17:58
Speaker 2: Is a library and essential worker? You wouldn't think so, Well, they're open.

00:18:01
Speaker 4: Restaurants are more essential than reading a book.

00:18:04
Speaker 5: Well, they're not open so at least that I've seen. But if one of them is, they'll have a visitor.

00:18:09
Speaker 6: Because everyone, are you able to walk to a Walgreens or a CBS farm.

00:18:14
Speaker 2: There's a grocery.

00:18:14
Speaker 5: Store very close to my house, but I don't know if it was not open last night. It was open during the day, but but then what am I gonna do once I get that, like, you know, at.

00:18:24
Speaker 7: Least they have something in there for you.

00:18:26
Speaker 5: Yeah, give me, I'll be all right by tomorrow. I think most things will be Uh, we'll be back to normal. One person writes, Matt, I loved watching our team, but I think our crowd. I think we got to stop saying the rough crowd won't bring it. They've brought it all year. There's a lot of truth to that, Ryan. I mean, I don't know if the Pope. You know that that we've talked kind of about the rough crowd malaise here for a little while. Do you think Pope has cured it? I mean, are we just gonna like all year not have to worry about the crowd?

00:18:54
Speaker 7: I think so. Man, everybody's so excited about what he's doing with his program. You know.

00:18:58
Speaker 6: Uh, Drew talked about even how the Brown crowd on New Year's Eve at two o'clock in the afternoon was awesome. That crowd this passed Saturday and then yesterday Saturday was incredible. I mean, even like Dan Shulman and Jay Billis were talking about how loud it was.

00:19:12
Speaker 2: We can hear back what Dan Shulman said.

00:19:15
Speaker 5: I mean Dan Shulman said he's been doing games for thirty years, and for people who don't know his career, he does college basketball.

00:19:22
Speaker 2: He used to do college football, he doesn't do it anymore.

00:19:25
Speaker 5: And he does baseball, so he does. The Blue Jays I think are his baseball team. And he said, in thirty years of going to these things, if you combine atmosphere and quality of play a top five sports experience.

00:19:39
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's pretty strong words.

00:19:41
Speaker 6: Don't you think he as many games as he set court side and witnessed. And I think it's because the crowd played a big part of why he said that.

00:19:48
Speaker 5: It was exciting And if you want to know, okay, so shaneon I figured out the ESPN Mike thing. Okay, all right, when they are talking, the crowd is turned down. But if you ever hear them shut up for a minute, I think they then have the crowd on the right level.

00:20:09
Speaker 4: Does that make sense, Yeah, they've got one of those.

00:20:11
Speaker 3: I guess like the mic kind of dampens anything else around.

00:20:15
Speaker 5: Yes, down, But I don't feel like they do that at every school, or maybe the announcers just don't talk as much at the other schools. But there are a couple moments Saturday where you hear can where where Shulman and Billis are not talking and you hear the crowd and Ryan that was when you kind of heard Rupp be like, Oh it's loud in there.

00:20:34
Speaker 7: That's what RUPs all about, exactly. You could you could you could feel it.

00:20:37
Speaker 6: And Adams a friend of mine, actually I went to stopped by kas Bar after the game and kas Bar was rocking and he was at the game and he goes, it was that way from like an hour before tip off. He said, you could just feel it as it started to fill up.

00:20:50
Speaker 5: I think people got there early. It was kind of exactly what you wanted. I just wish they would. Billis Is gonna be doing a lot of our games this year the SEC. Can we just one game not do the ice cream? Just one time?

00:21:03
Speaker 2: Shannon? Can we not do the ice.

00:21:05
Speaker 4: Saman doing the same thing.

00:21:06
Speaker 2: But do we have to do it every game? Like every game we have to talk about the ice cream.

00:21:12
Speaker 6: I gotta suggestion how he can stop it. Put him on snackwards cam one time, and that may be like he hey, look I'm not eating anymore in front of it.

00:21:20
Speaker 2: I want him to eat it.

00:21:21
Speaker 5: But do we have to always talk about it like it's like he it's a special segment.

00:21:26
Speaker 2: Every game, Shannon. Every time they do.

00:21:30
Speaker 3: It, they're making this like bigger than his ninety feet segment.

00:21:34
Speaker 4: That he knows this is gonna be doing.

00:21:35
Speaker 2: The SEC is the conference this year, no doubt.

00:21:40
Speaker 5: And we play Saturday Prime games against Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, and Arkansas.

00:21:48
Speaker 2: And there's a really good chance Ryan he'll be.

00:21:51
Speaker 5: At all four of those games, right, No, I mean those games. He'll probably four of those games, and we're have to watch him eat that ice cream, Shannon.

00:22:03
Speaker 2: Every time.

00:22:04
Speaker 4: He doesn't just eat it though, he licks it like a dog. He laps it up. It's disgusting. I don't need to see it.

00:22:09
Speaker 5: It's really gross. It's way too much tongue. There's like Jay, but like you know, I don't need j Billis tongue on a Saturday.

00:22:21
Speaker 2: Do you I know?

00:22:23
Speaker 4: I don't. Two bald headed guys, two bald.

00:22:25
Speaker 3: Headed guys that in there licking on an ice cream. No, I don't. I don't want to see it.

00:22:30
Speaker 5: I mean that's like a that's a YouTube video that you're not clicking on. Two bald headed guys looking on ice cream.

00:22:36
Speaker 7: But you know, I'm why.

00:22:37
Speaker 2: We have to see it, to see it every game.

00:22:43
Speaker 6: I watched the game with Yoga girl and she said about half times, and when are we going to see j Billis eat the ice cream?

00:22:47
Speaker 4: Like she even so now it's an event, so she wanted.

00:22:50
Speaker 2: To see it. Yeah, okay, Well maybe that's.

00:22:53
Speaker 4: Why they do it for the women out there.

00:22:55
Speaker 2: The women.

00:22:55
Speaker 5: The women out there are like, oh, please show Dan Schulman licking the You.

00:23:00
Speaker 4: Needs to grow.

00:23:01
Speaker 5: Oh, that's how you grow, grow a lot. We'll take a break. Take your calls. Right after the breaks on.

00:23:07
Speaker 7: Did he hit the wall?

00:23:10
Speaker 4: TJ Smith, personal injury attorney, called TJ. He'll make them pay now.

00:23:15
Speaker 3: More of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.

00:23:18
Speaker 4: Here's Matt Jones.

00:23:19
Speaker 5: Welcome back, Tukey Sports Radio. Apparently they did show Billis on the snack Wards camp.

00:23:24
Speaker 2: That's awesome, so I'd like to see that. Is that video out anywhere?

00:23:29
Speaker 5: Apparently they showed Billis on the Snackwards cam during the game Saturday, he and Schulman and.

00:23:34
Speaker 2: It looked like they were like throwing up ice cream.

00:23:38
Speaker 3: And he's unfazed. He probably doesn't care one bit. He's going to keep eating that ice cream.

00:23:42
Speaker 5: I've told you he did one of the smoother things I've ever seen anybody. Do Have I told this story before on here about what he did in the Bahamas?

00:23:49
Speaker 6: Yeah?

00:23:49
Speaker 7: Did you just told them not too long ago? I think?

00:23:51
Speaker 5: Okay about the phone thing, it's a good story though he does. He is funny and I like Jay a lot. I just maybe a little less ice cream. Okay, We're gonna go to the phones here in just a second. Couple things. First of all, on the postgame show, I ended the first segment with sort of a what.

00:24:08
Speaker 2: Kentucky basketball is about sort of thing? Did you hear that? Ryan? Y'all? I heard it?

00:24:14
Speaker 7: Yeah?

00:24:14
Speaker 2: What did you think? I mean?

00:24:15
Speaker 5: I've had a lot of people say nice things about it. It's on Mario put it on all the social media. But my point of it was I won't be as poetic as I tried to be on the thing, but basically that I hope people now realize Kentucky basketball is bigger than any coach, any player, etc.

00:24:31
Speaker 2: What did you think of that?

00:24:32
Speaker 7: I thought you nailed it.

00:24:33
Speaker 6: I think you, you know, said a lot of things we've all been thinking and all believe, truly believe, especially when they're Our old regime was like after a there's there's no way we would be what are we now twelve and two going into the think of our conference play. This basketball team got everybody believing again. You go to the games and you're not anxious about struggling through and maybe pulling out a win. You go into the game knowing you're gonna win because the excitement's back.

00:24:59
Speaker 5: But it also seemed like Shannon that it's just like the wins are even happier because it's almost like we want one hundred and six to one hundred and it's.

00:25:08
Speaker 4: And it's it's the way they're winning.

00:25:09
Speaker 2: It's the way they're winning.

00:25:11
Speaker 5: And I also think it's that these guys and some people are pushing back on me on this, and that's fine. I hope I'm wrong, but I keep saying, I don't know that any of these dudes are gonna play in the NBA. And I think it's the fact that the whole is greater than the sum of the part. Shannon's part of why we like it so much.

00:25:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just a fun brand of basketball that Mark prop Pope has brought to Kentucky. I mean, guys just knocking down threes. I've never seen anybody shoot like Kobe Brea.

00:25:35
Speaker 2: Who would have.

00:25:35
Speaker 5: Thought these guys that none of us knew when they got here. I mean, there's never been a more anonymous UK team ever than what this one was. Who would have thought everybody would love these guys like they did, all of them, Like people love this team and we didn't know who any of these dudes were three months ago. It's kind of amazing. I mean, they were at the first football game of the year and my buddy stood next to him during that whole Southern lightning all that, you remember that, and they were standing outside and fans didn't know who they were, like they were just staying with fans and.

00:26:07
Speaker 2: Nobody was bothering because they didn't know who they were.

00:26:10
Speaker 5: And now like everybody knows who they are and everybody loves them.

00:26:15
Speaker 2: I just think it's very cool. Who's up first, Kyle, Kyle, go ahead, Kyle.

00:26:21
Speaker 10: Hey, Matt, I just wanted to tell you I gotta I gotta fix for your cooking, and it's Factor Mills. That's what I've been doing. You just order them and they bring them and delivery box. All you do is just put it in the microwave and chef made meals. So I think that's the best way for your Thanks for the Mills.

00:26:41
Speaker 2: Factor is that like you get it in the mail.

00:26:46
Speaker 10: Yep, they deliver it to your doorstep, and it's all chef made Mills and you just put it in the microwave.

00:26:51
Speaker 5: I don't know about that. I did one of those ones, Shannon, you remember we did. I appreciate the call. We did an add thing for it. Yeah, and it was like it was fine, but it's like, I still there have to be in order to mail you a meal, they have to put like something in it that can't be good preservatives.

00:27:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, and at the end of the day, it's still a microwave meal you're eating every day if you're doing it the way this guy's talking about.

00:27:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I had it and it was fine. I just it wasn't. It just wasn't for me. I don't know what. I don't know how. I felt like I was just eating TV dinner every.

00:27:27
Speaker 4: Well, you essentially are gourmet TV dinners.

00:27:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I guess I was.

00:27:31
Speaker 5: Somebody said, Matt, uh, you're ordered trying to order delivery everyone knows that ordering delivery during the snow is a jerk move.

00:27:40
Speaker 2: I don't think that's true, is it.

00:27:42
Speaker 4: No, because they'll probably get even better tips.

00:27:45
Speaker 5: I would hold And I know personally, I tipped the guy at the Indian restaurant like double. I gave him an scene because I was like, he's open, you know what I mean? So for me, shan't like Ryan. If if someone were to deliver me food in this I'm giving them a massive tip.

00:28:01
Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah, they're they're risking their own life and to deliver you your food.

00:28:06
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:28:06
Speaker 5: I mean, now, if you just expect it and you don't acknowledge it with a big tip, then I do think that's a jerk move. But if you were to give a big one, I feel like that's fine.

00:28:17
Speaker 6: I think a lot of businesses in this situation though, they don't even want to put their own No.

00:28:23
Speaker 5: They were closed at Ksborrow. We were closed yesterday and today. I don't even know about tomorrow. I mean, like, I get that completely, But if somebody's gonna do it shit and I want to acknowledge what they're doing.

00:28:34
Speaker 4: Oh absolutely yeah right.

00:28:36
Speaker 5: And then a number of you have pointed out and this is good for point out that the libraries can be like a heating center for people.

00:28:43
Speaker 2: I should have thought of that. That makes complete sense to me, and that's good that we're that they're open. I know they're open here in Louisville.

00:28:49
Speaker 5: I assume they probably are in Lexington to who's next, Russ, Russ, Go ahead, Russ, Hey.

00:28:57
Speaker 11: Good morning, guys, Greetings from Vanderberg County. Hey, are the waffle houses open? I mean, because that's you know, that's essential workers.

00:29:04
Speaker 2: I don't live close to a waffle house, so I don't know.

00:29:07
Speaker 5: I know that. I think you last night, Shanon. I think last night everything was closed, wasn't it.

00:29:15
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:29:15
Speaker 3: I mean downtown there were bars downtown, couple. Yeah, they were closing early, but they were open.

00:29:21
Speaker 2: Wow. Ye See everything around me was closed, like it was just complete. No one was out.

00:29:26
Speaker 5: It was like it reminded me of when I would walk the streets of New York City during COVID, during that COVID and during the protest, and I would walk and you'd be in the middle of New York City and there wouldn't be anyone there, and it was really crazy. That's kind of how it was last night at least for me in Louisville.

00:29:45
Speaker 7: Question closed yesterday.

00:29:47
Speaker 11: Yeah, go ahead, sir, I'm just gonna say, uh so, first of all, Herman Edwards on your show is awesome. My question is Kenny Brooks Mark Hope, what's the chances that we've got two SEC Coaches of the Year and who goes farther in the NCAA tournament. I'll hang up and listen be saying.

00:30:09
Speaker 5: I think Kenny Brooks has I appreciate the call, really good chance to be SEC Coach of the year ran if they continue to be this good. I mean, they went to Vanderbilt yesterday and Vanderbilt had only had one loss, right and we beat it.

00:30:24
Speaker 2: We destroyed him. We beat him by like twenty five points on the road.

00:30:29
Speaker 5: Kenny Brooks, when you consider that we were like the worst team in the SEC last year, and who knows, maybe we'll be the second, third, fourth, whatever best team this year, Kenny Brooks is if they keep up with this, he's gonna be coach of the.

00:30:42
Speaker 7: Year, right, Yeah? I think yeah, you could.

00:30:44
Speaker 6: You could make the argument that Kenny Brooks is doing maybe a more miraculous job with that program than even Mark Popeman with the guys team right now, because you're right.

00:30:52
Speaker 7: The UK women's team when they were in the.

00:30:54
Speaker 2: I mean we were favorable.

00:30:55
Speaker 5: I mean, like the UK men's team was disappointing, but they weren't terrible. The UK women's team was terrible and they are good. Like I highly encourage you all. I'm not just saying this to watch. They are fun. The point guard Georgia Amore, Ryan, she is a blast to watch. They have like three three girls, three women who are very tall, can shoot. You got the Clara is it Stack, you got the girl from forgetting their names. There's the tall kind of redheaded woman who's she was awesome like yesterday, you got Dejah Lawrence. Like that group. They all can shoot. Yeah, they all can take it like. They are fun to watch, and I you know, I don't know how they're gonna do when they play South Carolina or one of those teams, but they are pounding teams right now.

00:31:46
Speaker 6: Ryan and Vanderbilt historically one of the best team programs in SEC women's basketball for many many years.

00:31:53
Speaker 7: You go into their place and basically ran them off the floor.

00:31:55
Speaker 5: Yesterday, I mean they were up thirty at one point that yeah, I mean.

00:32:00
Speaker 2: It was just I watched a lot of it. It was a beatdown. Who's next?

00:32:04
Speaker 4: Blue Grass?

00:32:05
Speaker 2: Bluegrass? How are you?

00:32:08
Speaker 9: Greetings from eastern Kentucky, Matt, how we doing doing good?

00:32:14
Speaker 9: You remember I had to Thanksgiving the Lemma where we had had to go into the Caliperry Household fan club and bring my smart Pope fans. Yes, well, I sort of flipped the I sort of flip the switch on him. I remember when I was growing up during the Eddy Sutton and in the in Zob and then Rick. He said, how we had a He always had three things that he went with being a good coach.

00:32:37
Speaker 2: You got to go quick bluegrass. I just got a few seconds.

00:32:40

Speaker 4: Fellas?

00:32:55
Speaker 2: Oh, I do too.

00:32:56
Speaker 5: I mean he's you know, my only question of bark Pope was recruiting, and he's done a great job at that. And the fact that he built both the transfer portal roster and the guys they've got committed for next year. I'm not sure how you can be anything but excited.

Speaker 5: Welcome back in his Kentucky sports radio on a snowy day.

00:33:53
Speaker 2: Still snowing here in Louisville. So uh, how long is it supposed to know?

00:33:57
Speaker 4: You said Shane, I think until around noon and Louisville.

00:34:00
Speaker 5: Okay, well it's still coming down out there, so but he'd be careful. We were talking about like first responders and people doing that. Let me give a shout out to you know, I tend to follow I like a lot of people.

00:34:14
Speaker 2: I probably didn't.

00:34:14
Speaker 5: Follow the city services of Lexington and Louisville for a long time. You take a lot of that stuff for granted. But since Crag has become the mayor of Louisville, he's a friend of mine, so I follow him online and I.

00:34:26
Speaker 2: Like to see what he's doing.

00:34:27
Speaker 5: And he put out a picture of a group of people yesterday who were going around Louisville Shannon right right during like lunchtime, right yeah, and looking for homeless people to bring them to somewhere to like stay through this right. I was just sitting there thinking, what kind of a kind soul do you have to be to volunteer your time when snow is coming down to go out in the snow and get homeless people to help bring them into warmth.

00:35:00
Speaker 4: Special kind of person to do that, kind of person.

00:35:02
Speaker 5: It takes to do that, that isn't I mean, I'm just that is an amazing person to do.

00:35:06
Speaker 2: So. I don't know who those people were. He had a.

00:35:09
Speaker 5: Picture of one person doing it on his Twitter account, But whoever does that?

00:35:13
Speaker 9: Ryan?

00:35:14
Speaker 2: Like, It's just like you have to be a different, special kind of person to do that.

00:35:19
Speaker 6: Those people are angels, man, and that's why, you know, we hear all these bad things that people do all the time, and we need to publicize stories like this more often.

00:35:27
Speaker 7: That's a great story.

00:35:28
Speaker 5: Yeah, now quite a transition here to Shannon to my next story, which is the cock fighting in Casey County. That all right, So fifty four people I said arrested. Apparently they weren't arrested. They were just charged. I guess they didn't take them into the pokey, but they charged them. Fifty four people charged with cock fighting in Casey County. The details of this story are amazing to me. First of all, fifty four people. That's a lot of people, share a lot of people. That's a lot of people. Fifty four people, and they got them because somebody in town goes, hey, there's cockfight today, you should go down there.

00:36:05
Speaker 2: They went. Fifty four people were there. But this is the part that's crazy to me.

00:36:09
Speaker 5: It was at eleven in the morning on a Saturday, when most of you are out there taking your kids to like youth basketball. Fifty four people were like, you know what, it's eleven in the morning on a Saturday.

00:36:21
Speaker 2: Let's go to the cock fight.

00:36:23
Speaker 3: That was it this past Saturday, because they should have been watching the Kentucky game at eleven AG it was.

00:36:27
Speaker 2: That's another thing. It was during the Kentucky game.

00:36:29
Speaker 4: Maybe that's why I thought they were gonna get caught like.

00:36:31
Speaker 2: Skip, That's exactly That's probably why they did it. They were like, it's during the Kentucky game. Nobody's gonna care.

00:36:37
Speaker 4: Do they always run during the Kentucky game? Whatever time?

00:36:39
Speaker 7: That is?

00:36:40
Speaker 4: Maybe?

00:36:40
Speaker 7: Maybe?

00:36:41
Speaker 5: So who has a Can you imagine getting up on a Saturday morning and going, let's go cock fighting?

00:36:47
Speaker 4: No? No, like, who does van? Fifty four people?

00:36:52
Speaker 2: Fifty four people in Gasey County. I have to tell you, I grew up in the mountains.

00:36:58
Speaker 5: I would hear kind of about out cockfighting, that it existed, but it was like, well, actually I saw snake handling, so I can't say it was like something mysterious. I saw that, but I never saw it. But I am still amazed, right, how much cockfighting happens in this state.

00:37:16
Speaker 6: And this is not the first time I think Casey County has been involved with this.

00:37:19
Speaker 7: I think every time we do bring up somebody.

00:37:21
Speaker 5: The county was like all bread of life, like everybody festival, Apple Festival.

00:37:27
Speaker 4: They they're cockfighting cockfighting festival.

00:37:30
Speaker 5: So you remember when when Matt Bevin ran the first time, when he ran against Jack Conway.

00:37:36
Speaker 2: You may remember one.

00:37:38
Speaker 5: Time he did a speech and goes and one of the things I believe is we should legalize cockfighting. And I remember saying on this show, Ryan, Yep, why would he bring that up? Like what a bizarre thing to make one of your tenants.

00:37:52
Speaker 4: He got fifty four votes, But now he.

00:37:55
Speaker 5: Knew, he knew that there were a lot of these people here. I mean, he must have known, like there's a lot of these people doing this, and he was like, that's gonna be my end. But fifty four people at eleven am in Casey County cock.

00:38:13
Speaker 4: You talk about blood thurstay.

00:38:14
Speaker 3: You wake up on a weekend morning and go, I want to go watch some cock fighter.

00:38:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been working all week, Honey, it's been tough.

00:38:20
Speaker 5: I'm gonna blow off some steam at the cock fights before noon.

00:38:25
Speaker 2: You gotta think the nude.

00:38:27
Speaker 7: You gotta think they do this every Saturday morning at this is probably this pera.

00:38:31
Speaker 5: I don't think they're going now, Nope, unbelievable that when I saw that story blew my mind?

00:38:38
Speaker 2: Who's next?

00:38:38
Speaker 4: Tasha?

00:38:39
Speaker 2: Tasha?

00:38:39
Speaker 13: Go ahead, Tasha, good morning, first time in a long time.

I plan on being at the remote that you are doing this summer at Sulfur Creek. If you all have not made plans to rent a boat and go out on the lake, you must do that. If you don't, my husband's name is Timmy, and you can come with us. Go on Timmy tours. A second comment, Second comment, season ticket holder. I'm sure you'll talk about this more as the game gets closer, but I'll be at the Arkansas game and chances that Cal gets booed or cheered. I know I'm booing, and I got a question. I want you to tell us about how Cal tried to get you fired. I know you couldn't tell us before. Can you tell us now? And I'll hang up and listen.

00:39:30
Speaker 2: I got a meeting this afternoon, so let's hold off.

00:39:35
Speaker 7: I didn't want to bring this up, but are we going to have a show tomorrow?

00:39:38
Speaker 2: You know?

00:39:39
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know how the snow affects all this, but I got uh, we got a zoom meeting tomorrow, so we'll see, you know, but we're.

00:39:46
Speaker 2: Going to proceed as if we're on right. Okay, all right, yeah, but.

00:39:52
Speaker 7: But sign here quickly.

00:39:57
Speaker 5: The the CA so we're gonna talk about I mean, that's a second hour thing.

00:40:04
Speaker 2: I don't want to I want to get through the first hour.

00:40:05
Speaker 5: But that was something as well that occurred.

00:40:09
Speaker 4: Who's next, Let's go to Steve.

00:40:11
Speaker 2: Steve, go ahead, Steve.

00:40:14
Speaker 12: Hey, good morning guys. I just want to say I've got a hack for everybody to help melt the ice. I know people might be skeptical of this, but it does work. What you need to do, take your phone out, put it on top of the ice, pull up YouTube and start watching Kobe Braa videos and then the ice will melt the way.

00:40:37
Speaker 5: How about you're serious for a minute, maybe. I mean, he doesn't even hit the rim. I appreciate the call shame, and he doesn't hit the rink. I know it's like if he hits the rim, we're missing. But most of the time it is just money. I mean, he's the best shooter in the country. I know, he's got a half a year left. Like, we're not even to the halfway point of the season yet, so I'm not trying to like go too quick, But could he be the best three point shooter we've ever had?

00:41:05
Speaker 6: Which is crazy because last season we just had three of the best three and this guy may be better.

00:41:12
Speaker 2: If you're looking at.

00:41:13
Speaker 5: The best we've ever had, you have to say, like Dron Lamb, Travis Ford, Antonio Reeves three weeks, Jody Meeks, I mean, percentage wise, you have to put Rob in my mind, I don't put him there, but his percentage is there, so you have to put him there.

00:41:35
Speaker 2: You know, maybe Jamal Murray yep, but.

00:41:41
Speaker 5: Brey is probably now those guys every one I just mentioned probably could do more things than Brea can do outside of the three point shooting. All those guys, but for just three point shooting, Ryan, he might be the best.

00:41:58
Speaker 6: And he's got to be more. Selphie, he's got to take five, six, seven, nine threes a game. He can't have those games he takes two or three because he's too good. He can help this team so many ways. But to shoot in the basketball a little more.

00:42:10
Speaker 2: I'm with you, Shandon, he needs to shoot more.

00:42:12
Speaker 4: Yeah, ten shots a game. Let's go.

00:42:14
Speaker 3: I mean, the average is going to fall around what at least six or seven at worst?

00:42:20
Speaker 2: He's is he over fifty percent? Now? Did yesterday? Put him over?

00:42:22
Speaker 6: Saturday put him seven out of ninety nine coming in so just unbelievable.

00:42:30
Speaker 5: He We just had three dynamic three point shooters last year and he might be better than all three of them, which is crazy. All right, we'll take a break, come back. I have number two. This is Kentucky Sports Radio.
