Speaker 3: Quarterback, Kentucky Smarts Radio here live at Kentucky Customs It up Fitting in Nicholasville it is beautiful day.

00:01:07
Speaker 4: Ryan Lemon has been entertaining folks during the break.

00:01:10
Speaker 3: I'm gonna still give away a bottle of Blanton's here and just a bit at another gift basket two hundred dollars in gift cards and UK Purdue tickets if you get here before the end of the show. This is the Kentucky Office Highway Safety KSR Safe Summer Driving Tour. Ryan, you went outside and you tried to bust a watermelon that has been coated in the protective coating used in bedliners. And I watched you, and it's pretty impressive. That's a watermelon and you had no chance of going through it.

00:01:40
Speaker 5: I had a little sledgehammer, didn't do anything.

00:01:42
Speaker 6: That was a mallet.

00:01:43
Speaker 5: They went and got a big sledgehammer. I felt like I was Hulk Hogan out there rolling that thing around. Bounced it like a basketball, didn't crack, didn't budge, didn't do didn't didn't do anything to it.

00:01:53
Speaker 4: So this material they use like this really holds up.

00:01:57
Speaker 3: I mean I didn't think it would break because I thought if they did, that wouldn't be a good look for them.

00:02:03
Speaker 6: Probably been before, but it's yes, But I mean.

00:02:05
Speaker 3: That's pretty indestructible, so you can get this on your truck bed and then nothing will hurt it.

00:02:10
Speaker 7: If we're still in law Familiar heading to freedom all this week, I'd dip my fist in it to go protect myself. But watching Ryan out there, you all heard me, I was about ninety percent sure that the sledgehammer is gonna kick back of him in the face, because these things do have some bounce to him.

00:02:24
Speaker 5: I thought that water to watermelon and then't even come close to cracking it yet.

00:02:29
Speaker 6: Its challenge.

00:02:32
Speaker 3: You're not very good, but you can come and get these. I said till July thirty first. Apparently it's August thirty first. Oh, so you have till August thirty first to come to Kentucky Customs and Upfitting. If you mentioned KSR, you get ten percent off the spray in bedliners, undercoating and rust prevention through the end of August.

00:02:49
Speaker 8: Uh.

00:02:49
Speaker 3: If I had a truck, which I don't because I don't care anything, But if I had a truck, I would certainly get this.

00:02:55
Speaker 5: You think it would also help you protect against the weather. You know, you put it into your bedliner, protect it from damage, but also from the weather.

00:03:01
Speaker 4: There you go, look at you being smart. All Let's go over a couple of news.

00:03:05
Speaker 5: He just told me that.

00:03:06
Speaker 4: Oh did he tell you that?

00:03:06
Speaker 9: Okay, it's called weather track.

00:03:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, let's talk about how thanks here in the news before we go back to the phones. We it's all week right down twelve topics. We have yet to this moment, but we will get it today, Drew, you look at me like that. Tyron Stokes the number one player in the class.

00:03:33
Speaker 4: Of twenty twenty six.

00:03:35
Speaker 3: He was assumed for a long time he was going to go to Louisville. Uh, he's from Calvin. The connection was with Louisville, but now reports are kind of hinting that it might Kentuck. Kentucky has not gotten the number one overall player since what Anthony Davis?

00:03:55
Speaker 4: I think it was Ian because Carl Towns was.

00:03:57
Speaker 3: Number two to Julil Okra four. I think it was Anthony. Are we gonna get him?

00:04:03
Speaker 7: They've certainly made a lot of noise lately. And uh, if you're following the Joe Tiptons and even people on our website, you know they just had the peach Jam this past weekend.

00:04:11
Speaker 9: So this is when you get maybe some of the.

00:04:13
Speaker 7: Best recruiting buzz all year, and uh, whatever was going on down there, there seems to be a big momentum push towards Kentucky.

00:04:20
Speaker 9: Gonna se say they're getting right everything.

00:04:22
Speaker 7: But uh, they are squarely in the race when it did look like Louisville had a pretty big lead on if.

00:04:28
Speaker 3: You get the number one play. First of all, there's still been a little bit of well, can they get an elite recruit that's not from Kentucky. I mean, that's still been kind of the question. This would answer it, Ryan.

00:04:38
Speaker 5: There's no doubt about that. I think that's the one knock on Pope right now. He proved he's brought in this really good recruiting class of transfers. But can you go out elite lead freshman.

00:04:49
Speaker 7: That's not from g TUK he's from Louisville, but he he's not.

00:04:55
Speaker 4: If he did now, I will still give him credit. If he's able to get it.

00:05:00
Speaker 6: Still goes to show you the brand Kentucky still means something. That's kind of what we were talking about last hour, you know, with the nil moundy, it does that Kentucky name still mean something. Clearly it does. If you have the chance to get the number one player.

00:05:10
Speaker 7: A lot of his family grew up liking Louisville, so it'd be a big distill him.

00:05:13
Speaker 4: Now it would be big.

00:05:14
Speaker 3: I mean, Louisville's assumed they were gonna get this kid for a year and a half, and if at the last minute they lose him and then also lose him to Kentucky Drew, I think that's going to make I mean, imagine a kid from Lexington who grows up a Kentucky fan. We think he's coming here, and then you know, right before his senior year, he picks Louisville. I mean, I think that would be a pretty devastating blow.

00:05:36
Speaker 4: That might be what happens with Louisville here.

00:05:37
Speaker 7: And not all number one players in every class are the same. Sometimes you have down years, guys turn out to be best. This kid's looks like a guy that's gonna be one of the dudes.

00:05:46
Speaker 3: This will be I mean, you know, we don't have him yet, and obviously guys can work out or or not. This will be the biggest talent to come to Lexington. Take all of the guys cow and there were a lot of amazing towns. If you're talking high school pedigree. This will be the biggest high school pedigree guy they've brought in since John Wall.

00:06:13
Speaker 5: That's pretty impressive.

00:06:13
Speaker 3: I mean, Anthony Davis ended up being amazing and he was number one, but he was a late riser.

00:06:18
Speaker 9: And like almost committed to Cleveland State.

00:06:21
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean he was gonna go to Cleveland State.

00:06:24
Speaker 3: This will be the highest pedigree guy to come to Kentucky since John Wall if he comes, and I think, like everybody needs to take a step back and say, I mean, I'll go even further. Let's say comes here. This might be that this might be one of the five highest pedigree guys to ever commit to Kentucky. Like that's not again, I'm just talking high school pedigree. I'm not saying he's gonna be a great, like a great player, but who in high school had a better pedigree than this guy, Wall Mashburn, anybody else. I mean even Rex was not ranked number one in his class. I think it's like wal Mashburn in him.

00:07:08
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, like Drew said, he's got his roots in Kentucky, but he's been a consistus number one player. I think even since last year, people were saying, even as a junior he was the best player in the country.

00:07:17
Speaker 4: And what else have we gotten? The number one player?

00:07:19
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis was one, Carl Towns was one, Carl Towns was two, Anthony Randall was two. BJ Boston was actually like three. Nearlin's is actually a good one. Darlin's is higher than but Nerlin's. People forget he was. I still don't think he's this kid. I think it's him and Wall but literally like a good company.

00:07:42
Speaker 7: And I'm petty anytimes we've gotten those guys. You've beaten North Carolina, Kansas to beat Louisville. I mean before he even puts on his sneakers in Lexington, You've got to win.

00:07:51
Speaker 9: For a kid they thought.

00:07:52
Speaker 4: They've had for for a long When is he decided?

00:07:54
Speaker 9: I don't know that he's put a date on him all right, next.

00:07:57
Speaker 3: To love everything that's happened Cutter Bowley, it was in now star quarterback now again our backup right now, they say is put on twenty pounds of muscle. Ryan, you're mister optimist here now for UK football. You Shannon was the first on the train. Now you're on the train. Does the twenty pounds of extra Bowlely?

00:08:16
Speaker 4: Uh? Muscly does it make you happy?

00:08:18
Speaker 5: It does make me happy because I heard during the offseason he did everything right as far as in the training room, working out, getting the film room, studying the game a little bit more. Everything you've heard about Cutter Bowllie since last season, I think has been positive. So I think he will be a star here someday if it's even as nice.

00:08:32
Speaker 4: Is he gonna play this year?

00:08:33
Speaker 5: He'll play some? I think he'll play some. What does that mean, though, he'll play some?

00:08:38
Speaker 6: You see like Wi Kentucky's blowing out Old Miss?

00:08:42
Speaker 5: Yeah?

00:08:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I guess there's like three options. One is he only plays if somebody gets hurt, right, Two is they share time, and then three is Calzada underperforms and Bowley is the starter.

00:08:59
Speaker 4: Which one's it gonna be?

00:09:01
Speaker 5: I think they have put some packages in for him.

00:09:03
Speaker 3: I always hear that nobody ever puts any packages in, like they always say they're gonna put packages in.

00:09:09
Speaker 5: Who what was the quarterback from Owens Brow last year I came.

00:09:11
Speaker 3: Here, Gavin wims It. Yeah yeah, he ran ran the ball at the goal and miss. But that's not gonna be Cutter Bowley the cutter Bully. I mean what do you think? Who do you do you think he plays well?

00:09:24
Speaker 7: First of all, I was playing the video game yesterday and Calzada got hurt and Bowley came in and went seven for eight against Tennessee.

00:09:30
Speaker 9: So I was pretty excited about what I saw out of Virtual Bully.

00:09:33
Speaker 7: Okay, but I think this is Calzada's job for the year outside of injury. I do think they'll try to get Bowley in as often as they can and your Eastern Michigan games and really have opportunities to get him going because I think the following year he's your starter. But I think it's gonna be mostly Calzada this season.

00:09:49
Speaker 4: Do you think he's your starter?

00:09:51
Speaker 3: Like, like you're not going in the portal and getting the quarterback next year?

00:09:54
Speaker 7: I don't think so. I really like what we've seen out of Bowlie. He was putting a horrible spot last year at Florida and at Texas quite all right, Yeah, so you can't form too many opinions about that.

00:10:03
Speaker 4: I actually thought he played alright in Texas. Yeah, and at.

00:10:06
Speaker 7: Florida they took him off the bench without warming him up and had him throw that little out route from interception. But anyway, I think I do think he is the plan for next season after a year.

00:10:14
Speaker 6: You gotta think about it too. He put on twenty pounds of muscle this year, then another twenty pounds the next year. That's gonna be forty pounds of muscle, and he's gonna stop that guy. That's gonna be the most indestructible quarterback we've ever had.

00:10:23
Speaker 4: This guy have twenty four inch pythons at that point.

00:10:25
Speaker 7: Brother, the person we need to ask is right there. Because I watched Mario and Cutter Bowley on YouTube least.

00:10:30
Speaker 3: Oh that's right, come here, Yeah, I got the scoop. Yeah, because I forgot you. You interviewed Cutter Bowie.

00:10:36
Speaker 9: We're not allowed in that building, but you had.

00:10:38
Speaker 3: Him on the What's Next podcast an exclusive Mario interview.

00:10:44
Speaker 4: Did he look bigger to you?

00:10:45
Speaker 5: He looked huge.

00:10:46
Speaker 10: We had a segment on our show where showed him images from the past and it was from his freshman year, and I instantly conceive the difference in his body from his freshman.

00:10:55
Speaker 4: Year to so like you mean, like in it like a chest to solid.

00:10:58
Speaker 5: He's solid.

00:10:59
Speaker 4: Now, all right, what did he say? Does he expect to play?

00:11:02
Speaker 3: What can we learn on the What's Next podcast hosted by Mario Maitland.

00:11:06
Speaker 10: He he's really excited about his teammates. Jamari Macklin, he said, is up for a big year. He didn't really, you know, talk much about himself. He said, obviously he's learned a lot from his past the past year playing under those quarterbacks, but he was really focused on mostly his teammates.

00:11:21
Speaker 4: But you think he's bigger, He's way bigger. He's wavery, he's solid.

00:11:24
Speaker 5: Man.

00:11:25
Speaker 4: We'll give Mario a big round of him. Yeah here, speaking of bigger, Uh, do you think Jamari Macklin is the number one receiver this year?

00:11:31
Speaker 5: Yeah? I think that's why he came back. You know, Dane left and Barryon left and Macklin came back because he saw that champion chance to be the number one guy. We saw glimpses of it last year. I mean, he's super talented, and I think with him and Fred Ferrier and come these guys on there, he'll be the main.

00:11:43
Speaker 4: Do you have you bought Nebraska gear?

00:11:46
Speaker 5: I haven't yet, but I will.

00:11:47
Speaker 4: Are you gonna wear one of those stupid corn.

00:11:49
Speaker 5: Hats if that's what it takes that day?

00:11:52
Speaker 4: Are you gonna go to link.

00:11:53
Speaker 5: Yeah. The day Kentucky's off, Nebraska hosts Michigan. So we're joa.

00:11:58
Speaker 6: Game to go to.

00:11:59
Speaker 3: That's a you know, that's a long trip. Yeah, yeah, that's a long driving. It's a hole.

00:12:04
Speaker 5: We're not driving. You can fly from lextionit into Atlanta to Lincoln.

00:12:08
Speaker 3: Oh, there's a there's an airport in Lincoln. Huh yeah, okay, so you're gonna you're gonna fly do that. So you've got to wear one.

00:12:14
Speaker 5: Of those corns. Okay, I'll do that.

00:12:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, those little like corn genitalia that come out of people's heads.

00:12:19
Speaker 5: Well, I don't know. I want to call it that, but.

00:12:21
Speaker 9: I don't know what you're talking about, to be honest.

00:12:24
Speaker 4: Don't they wear a little maybe show? Yeah? Maybe that's just something I think about. Who's up next?

00:12:32
Speaker 5: Bluegrass? Is up?

00:12:33
Speaker 4: Blue Grass? Go ahead, Bluegrass?

00:12:36
Speaker 8: What's going on with fellas? It's been a while, been basketball season, as sin.

00:12:40
Speaker 11: As, I called.

00:12:41
Speaker 4: Nice to hear from you.

00:12:44
Speaker 8: Well, let's talk a little bit.

00:12:45
Speaker 12: See you, Bennet, Kentucky.

00:12:46
Speaker 8: We never we never In evaluating our coaches and what I've noticed, the more I look into this man, the more I see my man is a genius. I'm watching the TBT, and no disrespect to Angley, i'man or, but he couldn't hardly.

00:13:01
Speaker 11: Even play out there.

00:13:02
Speaker 8: You know, he's a mismatch. And how did our coach, Mark Pope, how did he get him on the court so often?

00:13:09
Speaker 4: Let me go further than that. Let's go further than that.

00:13:11
Speaker 3: And again, none of this is to devalue our players last year, because I not only think they were good, I really really really enjoyed liking them or watching him play. Ansley Almanor couldn't even get on the court. And the TBT, Andrew Carr, Jackson, Robinson, you know, those the Lamont Butler, those dudes played in the summer League. And with the exception of Kobe Brea, you know, I mean, did you hear anything about him? A lot of I mean, I don't even know if Labat Butler got into games in the summer league. Kobe Brea had a good summer league.

00:13:46
Speaker 8: But and I just remember, go ahead, I just remember Chaos saying we can't hide you.

00:13:51
Speaker 11: But I guess you just can't take that attitude. We can't hide you.

00:13:54
Speaker 8: We'll find a way to put you in there and make you.

00:13:56
Speaker 3: Amy played well, actually, Mari, he played well in the Summer League.

00:13:59
Speaker 4: He he actually, But.

00:14:00
Speaker 3: My point is, and I appreciate the call, there is nobody on that team. I think Brea is definitely gonna make the Suns, but I'm not sure any of those other guys. Amari, he might make it.

00:14:11
Speaker 4: We'll see. He'll definitely be in the G League for a while.

00:14:13
Speaker 3: But like what we did last year with that roster, I think Pope's gone. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think he is going to be great here. I mean, I think he's got He's got guys who can be stars this year. He's got a potential top five pick in Jaden Quainton's, he's got a potential top twenty pick in Jasper Johnson. He's got oh Way returning. I think Jayalen Lowe is going to be a star. I mean, I I think I feel better about what Pope did last year, drew after watching the Summer League and the TVT than I did before.

00:14:45
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean too, It's a small sample size, so we'll still see what the Pope experience is like. But you're looking at what he did with Almanor and now your depth peast next year could be like a Yellovich or you had last year. He has freshman Travis Perry, Collins Handler Trent Noah as his depth. Now he has those guys minus Perry as sophomores, plus a Malaca Marinos like your third option at Big Man.

00:15:08
Speaker 4: So if he took the.

00:15:09
Speaker 7: Bench that he had last year and did what he did now, they're much better and much deeper. I want to see how he can develop this group.

00:15:15
Speaker 4: I mean, everybody agrees the roster is better this year than it was last year.

00:15:18
Speaker 9: Absolutely everybody agree with Actually just on paper in the summer.

00:15:21
Speaker 3: I mean, just on paper. We'll see what happens when they do it, but I think I don't think there's any doubt that they are there better. Most people hear the word remodel and immediately think of stress contractors that grow, God said, gross ghost you prices that change halfway through and results that don't look like what you had in mind. Not a State Renovations, Shannon. They do it differently. You get a full team, a designer who shops with you to pick out every detail. Their Home Solutions program is perfect mention KSR at a State Renovations and get half off your design agreement half off half off a state r e n os dot com as a state Renos like Reno Nevada, or innovation at State renos dot com. Renos is in renovations at a state Renovations. We'll take a break and be right back here in Nicholsville. It's Kentucky Sports Radio. Waterback, it is Kentucky Sports Radio. Here live Kentucky Customs and upfitting in Nicholasville. Spray on bedliner's window tint with a lifetime warranty. Did you see Speaking of window tinting, did you see the video of uh that you can get that here?

00:16:24
Speaker 4: Billy Joel in New York? Did you see that video?

00:16:27
Speaker 3: Billy Joe was like riding down the road in a in his suburban. His window was tinted, and they pulled up to one of those guys that like is riding a bike pulling people. What do you call those you know what I'm talking about? What do you call those ricks Is it a rickshaw with a bike? I thought rickshaw was and you pulled it, yeah, well so it's not a rickshaw. But anyway, a guy riding the bike pulling people, and there were two people and the bike was playing Billy Joel and the and the two people in the back were singing Billy Joel. So they're just riding down the road and Billy Joel is like, like, this is a documentary. Billy Joe's like. The driver goes, hey, they're listening to you. So they're sitting there singing New York state of Mind or whatever. He just pulls up, rolls the window down, and starts singing with them.

00:17:13
Speaker 5: That's cool.

00:17:14
Speaker 3: Can you imagine you're just in your little to be used Billy's word rickshaw and you're riding down the road in New York and then and then the singer of the song you're doing pulls up next to you and start singing.

00:17:26
Speaker 7: Getting they recognize him that I've been awful. If he thought he was gonna have his moment, no, he get out of here, old man.

00:17:30
Speaker 6: Crazy guy.

00:17:34
Speaker 4: Man, we're having a romantic moment. Will you go away and.

00:17:37
Speaker 6: See You never know, it could be either one. It could be Billy Joe, it could be crazy Guy.

00:17:41
Speaker 3: That's actually I hadn't thought about the fact that they would not know who he was. Scal was the number one player in the country.

00:17:48
Speaker 5: Yes, that's right.

00:17:49
Speaker 4: I don't you know what.

00:17:50
Speaker 5: I did not remember that, but he will forget because he ended up eighth. Man.

00:17:54
Speaker 6: I think our team that is the worst number one player we've ever had. Wow, that was I mean that's true bear?

00:18:01
Speaker 13: Is it not?

00:18:02
Speaker 9: Hounds type was a little weird because when is high school like made up?

00:18:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, he didn't have a real high school one person, rights, madam. I'm a way to a remote. The Long John's line is out to the road.

00:18:14
Speaker 5: Could not have Billy gets the spot?

00:18:16
Speaker 4: Now what is with you people in Long John's?

00:18:19
Speaker 9: I mean, do we need this pure chass bar into fried fish?

00:18:22
Speaker 4: Yeah?

00:18:22
Speaker 3: Why am I spending all this money trying to make a chass bar better? Why don't I just start making Long John's two?

00:18:29
Speaker 6: I don't know you should. I mean, everybody loves it right now, probably because it's brand new though, right.

00:18:34
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:18:34
Speaker 3: After that, the Kentucky Oaks announced they are moving to prime time. The Kentucky Oaks will be on NBC regular NBC in prime time. The race will UH will go at eight thirty under the lights in UH in Louisville on Network TV. I would assume Drew this is step one to the derby doing that UH sometime in the near future.

00:18:57
Speaker 4: Do you like I'm shocked that.

00:19:00
Speaker 3: Horse racing has done so well that they're gonna put the Oaks in prime time Network TV. I know that doesn't mean what it did ten years ago, but it's still pretty big audience. Do you like the Oaks under the lights next year?

00:19:12
Speaker 7: At first I liked it for the attention, and then I saw a long Facebook post from is there a place like jack Fries in Louisville?

00:19:20
Speaker 4: Yes, there's a Jack Fries.

00:19:21
Speaker 7: They were talking about how it completely kills Louisville getting restaurants. They said people are already on Oaks Day, they book reservations and don't show. They said, we've seen this huge decline already with Oaks, and now they're saying they're just not considering the Louisville economy outside of Churchill Downs because a lot of those places will sit empty until late at night. So until I thought of that angle, I thought it was good. But reading their posts it was very detailed. I kind of take that angle. I'm worried about all the places in Louisville that wait for that's.

00:19:50
Speaker 4: True, they have those parties.

00:19:53
Speaker 6: Yeah, what happened?

00:19:54
Speaker 4: Yeah, what happens with Stable Brown and all those parties. That's yeah, I hadn't thought of it.

00:19:58
Speaker 7: It's not just Jack fries lot of like you're part of their charitable events. And this was talking about how Churchill is just keeping every dollar to itself and not thinking about the city.

00:20:07
Speaker 3: But so far be it from me to take up for a multinational corporation that doesn't even let us in a lot of the times when Churchill downs.

00:20:16
Speaker 4: But I mean, is it is it their role to sit and worry about the restaurants?

00:20:20
Speaker 3: I mean, if they get a chance to have their track on network TV nationally, don't they just have to do that? I mean, I get what Jack, that makes perfect sense to me. But you know, if they come to you and say we want to put your race on network TV and it's not even the Derby, don't you have to do that?

00:20:35
Speaker 6: If I understand Drew's side of it too, but Churchill downs, isn't you know it's not their role to save Louisville. You know, they're worried about Churchill downs, They're worried about their money. But I definitely understand his side of things too well.

00:20:47
Speaker 3: They've made that it's such a long day. I know when I go to the Oaks. As soon as it's over, I don't feel like doing anything. Yeah, because it is. It is such a long day, so I can see why the restaurs would.

00:21:00
Speaker 6: But you know, boys to Ben aren't gonna have a gig anymore.

00:21:03
Speaker 4: That's true. The worst Travis Trent gonna do.

00:21:06
Speaker 5: He's living.

00:21:08
Speaker 3: Ryan, You've been going to this forever. If you were at Lax, would you be glad they're going to night?

00:21:12
Speaker 5: I would hate every second of it. That means you're not gonna get out of the track till after midnight. You got to turn around be there at six o'clock the next morning for the derby. I would spit and cuss and fart and be everything that could to keep from having to do that. So were you always doing your mask?

00:21:25
Speaker 6: Yes, that is true. Though it's a quick turnaround. Oh, it'd be awful.

00:21:28
Speaker 4: I mean that. You know, if the race is at eight thirty, they will not clear that place out till ten or eleven o'clock at night.

00:21:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, the day is gonna start at twelve thirty. Now, you know they used to start those races at like nine or ten in the morning. Now the day won't even start until twelve thirty. And we'll go until even This is gonna By the way, this is coming for the Derby. If they're doing this for the oaks, they're just gonna see if it works and then eventually do it for the.

00:21:52
Speaker 6: DoD The horses get to sleep in now, they don't have to be able at four thirty in the morning.

00:21:56
Speaker 4: Having normal hours for horses. Yea, the worst we should ask the horses. They're very they would vote be the would probably vote who's up? Now?

00:22:04
Speaker 5: Oh, well done, well done.

00:22:07
Speaker 4: Such a terrible joke.

00:22:08
Speaker 6: That's a great kill.

00:22:09
Speaker 4: All right, here's next.

00:22:10
Speaker 5: Rick, Kyle is up next.

00:22:12
Speaker 3: Kyle, go ahead A five nine two eight twenty two eighty seven.

00:22:23
Speaker 3: And Malcolm to Warner and Malcolm to warn.

00:22:26

00:22:36
Speaker 3: I'd love to hear your cutter bowly scoop if you can give it to me in thirty seconds.

00:22:41
Speaker 8: All right.

00:22:42
Speaker 12: My boss is friends with his dad.

00:22:44
Speaker 14: His dad said that he's fine being the backup this year, but next year, if he's not legit and the running from the starting quarterback, he's out of here.

00:22:53
Speaker 4: Well he should I mean that should be his position. I mean I appreciate the call.

00:22:56
Speaker 3: If he he's been here, if he puts in this time and he is next year not the starter, then I think it would totally make sense. Right if he would leave, I wouldn't Nobody would fault that. I would not fault him at all for that. You know, keeps putting on muscle mass. Here's the thing. We haven't gone through a UK season without a quarterback getting hurt in like fifteen years. He's going to play some Oh yeah, everybody gets hurt. Every Kentucky quarterback we've ever had has missed some time to being hurt. So that's what's gonna happen this year as well. We'll take a break and be right back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio working back Tucky Sports Radio.

00:23:29
Speaker 6: Here.

00:23:30
Speaker 3: It is Kentucky Customs and upfitting spraying bedliners, fleet up feeding, upfitting for trucks and vans. The premiere upfitter for jeeps and trucks in Kentucky is right here in Nicholsville on Howard Road. I got it right, all right. Two quick things. First of all, thank you to this man Tom who just came over. He brought me a book from my mom. It is a Bible Atlas, which is nice enough in and of itself, because my mom will like this, but it was made in nineteen fifteen and published in Middlesorol, Kentucky. He brought it to give to my mom so very much. She will very much appreciate it.

00:24:06
Speaker 5: Oh that's pretty cool.

00:24:07
Speaker 3: So that's kind of cool. I didn't even know Middlesbrough that she will. Absolutely she will. And let me just say about my mom. She's getting her doctorate and you know, she already graduated from seminary. She's getting her she's getting a doctor in religion I think it's what it's called UH and UH at Wheaton University in Chicago. And she just finished her first semester on Wednesday. So congratulations to my mom. I mean, think again, everybody brags about their kids and their mother, but my mom is seventy one years old, and she is and she decides everybody else for they retire and they rest. My mom's out there going to Chicago to do graduate school. I just how awesome is that?

00:24:46
Speaker 5: So if she gets all aged, you take her to Cracker Barrel for an all or a good report card.

00:24:50
Speaker 3: She always gets an A and she always is like she's like worried before the final, oh am I going to pass, and like she gets all nervous, and that we've completely flipped roles, like I have to be the parrot going are you studying okay, then you're gonna be fine.

00:25:04
Speaker 5: We have completely flipped rolls.

00:25:06
Speaker 7: When it ves, we need to get your a little bumper stickert, it says proud son of a four student.

00:25:12
Speaker 11: That's good.

00:25:12
Speaker 4: I would love us. I would love that.

00:25:14
Speaker 3: I also I got I will say she had a paper due at the end of the turn and it was due. Let's say it was due on a Monday, and ten days before it was due, she said, I finished my paper. I'm gonna turn it in. You know what I said to her, don't do that. I was like, do not turn it in ten days early. And she said, but I'm already done with it. And I said yeah, but that'll just make you look like a brown nosing like just wait, and she goes, well, I'm not gonna be like you and turn it in five minutes.

00:25:42
Speaker 6: Before it procrastinator, and then it makes you look bad.

00:25:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, I said, we'll wait like three days before it's due, and then she did that, and I think that was a better, a better.

00:25:51
Speaker 5: Yeah, you don't want the other students to call her the teacher's pet, exactly.

00:25:54
Speaker 3: And if I'm a professor and I get a paper ten days before it's due, I'm gonna go, well, you probably could have done more work.

00:26:00
Speaker 6: On me paper back with a big apple there next time.

00:26:03
Speaker 3: But I did say, I was like, you don't want to be the teacher's pet, you know. I was trying to I'm being the parents.

00:26:09
Speaker 9: Nobody likes the kid in class. It's like, oh, you forgot the quiz today.

00:26:55
Speaker 4: I said, Massachusetts. They're like, it's Massachusetts.

00:27:00
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, how do you say Massachusett?

00:27:36
Speaker 4: I'm we're gonna do it from their studios up there, I guess. Yeah. And they've got a TV show now, did you see that, Big Tom? Yeah?

00:27:46
Speaker 3: Ste you know they've been on this show for I guess they started whatever year the Harambi thing was, so that was like twenty thirteen. And now they're going to have, along with a bunch of other people, their own television show on FS one.

00:27:57
Speaker 5: So they love it. They love doing KSR once together. It's a live show and they can talk to callers live on the other they.

00:28:03
Speaker 6: Could get on FS one, we could get on FS two.

00:28:05
Speaker 4: Then right now, that's a lot familiar. There's other stuff all right now, tell me.

00:28:10
Speaker 5: About this this and this read is gonna knock your socks off.

00:28:12
Speaker 4: No, it's not.

00:28:13

Stockton Mortgage has access to programs like down payment assistance, low down payment loans, and more ways to help you buy with confidence. Vis It's Stockton dot com Doctor Mortgage in the last a two five to nine equal housing lender in a molest consumer access dot Org.

00:28:44
Speaker 6: Back to you, Matthew today, I write that.

00:28:47
Speaker 5: I don't know. I got it from the sales rep. So I'm assuming maybe it was Who's up next? Dalton is up next?

00:28:54
Speaker 4: Dalton, Go ahead, Dalton, All.

00:28:57
Speaker 12: Right, you'll let me fired up a little bit Churchill Down thing, living not far from there, And ever since I started working right down there, working with people that live in the neighborhood, I've realized how much.

00:29:08
Speaker 13: This is not the Commonwealth of Kentucky. This is the Commonwealth of churchill Down. Whether it's from the historical racing machines quote unquote to the running the fences down the middle of the road so you completely block off the neighborhood you take over for a weekend. Those people can't sell their parking spots in their yards, they can't sell food like they used to back in the day, and that to bund up every little bit of land there and now moving the time as the only consideration for them that the city, which the city in the state, would let Churchill Downs do anything they want. Churchill Downs could call may Or Greenberg tonight and say, hey, next Thursday, we're thinking about setting all the streets.

00:29:45
Speaker 11: On fire down here.

00:29:47
Speaker 13: They will do y'all plan on cleaning up when you're done.

00:29:50
Speaker 12: No, we still plan on bringing those millionaires in.

00:29:53
Speaker 13: Yep, all right, set them on fire. We'll put it on the news.

00:29:57
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't totally I disagree with you. I mean, Churchill is an arrogant entity. I don't think there's any doubt about that. But the Derby is important to the state. It's especially important to the city of Louisville. So I get what you're saying, though, I mean, I listen that the experience.

00:30:16
Speaker 12: I don't blame him for acting that way.

00:30:18
Speaker 13: If I was in that position, it would be very hard, could not throw your weight around. And I don't really blame the state for cawtowing to him either. It's just that's how it is.

00:30:27
Speaker 3: And I agree with you and the experience, and I appreciate the call as at Kentucky. And the experience of going to the Derby is worse now than it was fifteen years ago, like he's talking about. You know, we used to walk the neighborhoods around it and it was the most fun thing in the world. And that experience has gotten worse over the years, Like it's not as cool, it's not as much of a party as it used to be. I mean that's right. At the same time, for one weekend, Kentucky is the center of the world, the sporting world, and that we're not gonna get that any other way. So it's I kind of it's odd. I kind of see both sides.

00:31:05
Speaker 7: You know, he can't blame Churchill, that's what those people can't. But like Meney, yeah, I mean you you hear from locals that have been priced out of the infield forever. You know, you can throw on pair of shorts of the tank top and whatever it costs go sit in the infield in your lawn chair. Now, I think even locals, it's gotten to where a lot of them can't afford to go.

00:31:25
Speaker 4: You just have to be careful.

00:31:26
Speaker 3: It's kind of like Ryan with the UK football when we talked many years ago about how they changed everything for the people, the regular fans that were tailgating, et cetera. You can do that as long as things keep cooking, but then one day, if things get bad, you may be going back to those people and saying come back, and they're less likely to come back.

00:31:46
Speaker 4: Right.

00:31:46
Speaker 3: So, UK football, I think's experiencing experiencing that right now, team's not as good tickets aren't as exciting, and now a lot of these people are not coming back and the school's like, what's happening?

00:31:56
Speaker 4: Why is this happening?

00:31:57
Speaker 3: Well, you kind of ran them off ten years ago, and that was easy to do when things were going well.

00:32:02
Speaker 4: But when they don't go well, then what.

00:32:04
Speaker 5: Do you do. It's hard to win the fan base back when something like that happens. Man, you know, it's hard to get them to come back and buy back in you mentioned the football. It's a great example. But like that Color talked about in Louisville. You know, I remember when Saturday used to be Louisville's day at the I mean, Friday was Doable's day at the track. Then it was Thurby. Then it's when that's all.

00:32:21
Speaker 4: It's out, they go Oaks Friday, Therby. What do they call Wednesday? Wednesday? Wednesday? And now they have five oh Tuesday.

00:32:30
Speaker 5: Yeah, they keep taking it away from the locals that have made it.

00:32:34
Speaker 3: Well there, it's gonna start telling the locals come in April, all right, you don't you don't, you don't get you don't.

00:32:39
Speaker 4: Get to be part of it until then, who's next? SETH is up? Next? Seth go ahead, seth.

00:32:45
Speaker 14: Hey, allay, are you there?

00:32:49
Speaker 4: Still there?

00:32:51
Speaker 5: Have it left?

00:32:52
Speaker 4: We're gone?

00:32:53
Speaker 6: No, we're no longer here?

00:32:54
Speaker 9: Are you there?

00:32:55
Speaker 4: Okay? Bye?

00:32:56
Speaker 5: Thank you?

00:32:56
Speaker 4: Who's next?

00:32:58
Speaker 5: Mad is up next?

00:32:59
Speaker 8: Matt?

00:32:59
Speaker 4: Go ahead?

00:32:59
Speaker 5: Man?

00:33:01
Speaker 4: What's up?

00:33:02
Speaker 8: Guys?

00:33:04
Speaker 4: What's going on?

00:33:06
Speaker 5: Guys?

00:33:08
Speaker 11: I just want to say a couple of things. I'm sitting out in my garden and that was hilarious. I'm sitting out my garden, just finished meditating, and I just want to give big, big applause to your mom.

00:33:24
Speaker 2: Man.

00:33:24
Speaker 11: She sounds like a wonderful, amazing woman and that's probably why you're so successful.

00:33:31
Speaker 4: Well, that's very nice you.

00:33:32
Speaker 3: To whatever extent I have any success, it certainly wouldn't be without her, So you're you're exactly.

00:33:38
Speaker 4: Right about.

00:33:41
Speaker 8: Well.

00:33:41
Speaker 11: I kind of like to give a shout out to my mom. My dad was a Baptist pastor for sixty two years and my mom. He passed away several years ago, but my mom still shares his journey. He has this saying everybody she meets, she I don't know if I'm supposed to talk about religion on the show, but everybody she meets, he asked. My dad had a saying saying, if are you a winner or loser in life. And you know, depending on what they would say, he would you know, to be a winner, you have to have the Lord in your life. And my mom still does that and she's ninety two years old.

00:34:23
Speaker 3: That's very nice years old. You should be very embraced those moments. Let me ask you a question, are you still You're still doing the meditating? You you only tend to call Fridays towards the end of the show. Is that like your Is that your post meditation time?

00:34:40
Speaker 13: It is?

00:37:40
Speaker 4: This is all new.

00:37:41
Speaker 7: I'm still getting these messages during the show. But I'm gonna get out there. There's a concert. I'm gonna make a little early evening of it before the match.

00:37:47
Speaker 6: Can you bet off? Can you bet this on DraftKings?

00:37:50
Speaker 4: I bet you can. You just have to look for it, but I bet I bet you can. Yeah, this is I mean again, if you don't follow that league.

00:37:56
Speaker 3: Louisville I think has won I want to say two out of the last three years, and one of the best teams in the league, Lexington with their first chance or first crack at him here in LEXI I think they played in louis earlier this year.

00:38:06
Speaker 5: Now, the Louisville guys wearing red jerseys.

00:38:09
Speaker 4: I don't know, but there's this is their colors are normally green.

00:38:13
Speaker 5: Right, and they're wearing blue for this, just for this game. Yeah, that's why I went up the Louisville team purple.

00:38:18
Speaker 4: Did you see the story about the Memphis football player.

00:38:21
Speaker 6: Shit, oh yeah, yeah, I love this story.

00:38:23
Speaker 3: It's a great story. So I guess the Memphis football player. I guess he got mad at his at his teammates. He was upset Adham. I guess for I don't know, for just the way they played, so they were you know, I think he was transferring. So their defensive back sent the quarterback for Texas San Antonio. These texts here you go. Here's the playbook. Here are this all the signals signals far left of the coverages. If they run, they they run quarters, so none of the safeties can cover. No re routes on the slout, on the slot. The field safety is the weakest link when they run out of eligibility playing with number Z row. Here are all the play calls he sent them before the game. They used it. They beat Memphis by one score. Memphis missed the playoff by one game. Basically, this dude probably cost Memphis the chance at winning the conference championship and going to the playoffs.

00:39:17
Speaker 6: Now that player then transferred to Purdue, I think right, yeah, So now if you're Purdue.

00:39:22
Speaker 4: It just came out yesterday.

00:39:23
Speaker 6: Yeah, I know you got to. You got that guy on your team, now, can you trust him?

00:39:27
Speaker 4: That's a good question. If you were perdue, would you want that guy to play.

00:39:30
Speaker 7: I don't know anything that's happened on this, but I did go to the Purdue website just to see it read about the guy, and he wasn't on their roster, So I don't know if something happened in the last twenty That was this morning, And I said bold, if you were a.

00:39:42
Speaker 4: Memphis fan, oh right, at this, at this story, I'd be furious at this story.

00:39:46
Speaker 6: Well, imagine it's Kentucky. Put Kentucky in that situation. Take Memphis out of it and say it's Kentucky. And they lost by one score or one went away from going to it and it.

00:39:54
Speaker 3: Was forty four to thirty eight, so they gave up forty four points. So clearly you know had an impact.

00:40:00
Speaker 6: Oh absolutely, Yeah. If they're scoring that many points against you and you're you know, Texas San Antonio.

00:40:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, well text, they were good, but that was a big game for them.

00:40:08
Speaker 7: My two favorite things are the quarterback that's getting the info, why don't you just send in like cron and Moji's back every response he was like doing Lol, just didn't know what's to do with it? But then also that poor safety getting called out. I think you got to fight the guy. I mean most of it was pretty vague, but he's like also number zero, the safety, he's terrible.

00:40:27
Speaker 3: Go right at him now. I mean, I wonder what happened with the Texas San Antonio quarterback. Did he go tell his coaches? Did they use it as part of the game plan. I mean that hasn't been said yet. Yeah, you have to assume they did.

00:40:38
Speaker 4: But if you were a coach and.

00:40:40
Speaker 5: Your player came with that, do you use it? I think you take it and then you kind of tiptoe into it. But then during the course of the game, if you realize this stuff's right, man, I think you go all in. I think you lean into it.

00:40:50
Speaker 4: Hang on a second, You only cheat if you need to.

00:40:54
Speaker 5: I think, because you know, if this guy was feeding you some bad info, he could have been.

00:40:57
Speaker 3: You know, you don't think the coach has a responsibility maybe to say to the other coach, hey, this happened.

00:41:03
Speaker 5: It's college fool.

00:41:04
Speaker 4: No, not at all, like mister sportsmanship.

00:41:09
Speaker 5: You know in baseball they steal signs. Everybody's stealing signs.

00:41:12
Speaker 4: You're always against them stealing signs.

00:41:14
Speaker 5: I am, but they do it. I mean they're gonna do it. So I bet those coaches knew that what the guy said, but wait until the game started to see if it was accurate. Once they found it was accurate, they went all in with it.

00:41:24
Speaker 4: Interesting And then if you're the way did it get out?

00:41:26
Speaker 6: That's the thing. If you're the team that got it, why would you want to leak that?

00:41:30
Speaker 3: And I'm fascinated as to how it got out when we're the chain of events because it is the actual text message that is out.

00:41:38
Speaker 7: I think it was a Memphis site that reported it, which they would have the incentive, but I don't know how that.

00:41:43
Speaker 4: But how would they side have known that they sent it. That's fascinating to me as.

00:41:48
Speaker 6: To how that, Like somebody would have had to have almost hacked into that account to get it, because why would you share.

00:41:54
Speaker 5: That's why you have to change your signs.

00:41:56
Speaker 3: UK, Remember we had that game where we didn't change our signs and that it didn't work out. It didn't work out too well. Hey, Nichols Biel, thank you all very much for coming out tonight.

00:42:30
