Speaker 3: People love them some Mario Drew. Oh, of course, so I knew when he came on today the phone lines will light up for the ladies when they talk to a little super Mario.

00:01:15
Speaker 5: Yeah. I'm glad to have him on here talking. It's always fun. He's always with us, but he's in the background taking pictures, making tiktoks, and I know the listeners want more Mario. So I'm glad he's on the show with us today.

00:01:26
Speaker 4: I'm excited to be on man. I used to work right over there at the Enterprise. That was my last job. So it's really cool being over here being with you guys. What two years No, a year and a half later, it's really cool that location right there that you work specific location.

00:01:38
Speaker 3: Wow, But for the Long John Silvers, Yes, yes, because that's tell where we're at Clark's Puppet shopics by the new Long John Silvers on Nicholasville Road. Now you know where we're talking to you from today.

00:01:48
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, might him here a little traffic going by. We're right up on the road. But good being out here at Clarks. You ever have their breakfast here? By the way, Can I shout it out? I don't know if that's on our script going for it. I've gotten that twice in the last couple of weeks. Amazing breakfast here, the biscuits.

00:02:02
Speaker 2: The biocks, the biscuit chicken biscuits or what. Oh yeah, oh yeah, I feel you've already botched the intro. By the way, you didn't do the Clark's pumping shop phone line.

00:02:08
Speaker 3: Well, I'm saying that since we're here at Clark Pumping Shops, go ahead and do it. You didn't do the A vision glass text machine. I have a new A vision glass text machine to tell you about.

00:02:15
Speaker 2: Okay, uh eight five nine, twenty two eighty seven Clark Clarks Pumping Shop phone numbers.

00:02:19
Speaker 3: Right A vision glass while Matt is gone, has given us the new A vision glass text machine. We used it when he went to Amsterdam, right was in Europe for like three months. So they're bringing it back. So the A vision glass text machine number for the next but three weeks yep, five oh two seven, three, five three six eight oh now here's how you remember it. Five O two seven, thirty five, thirty six, eighty. That does not help me at all. It helps me. That can concuse me even more. We're talking in thirty five thirty six, you know, kind of back to back to back, and then eighty.

00:02:54
Speaker 2: My biggest takeaway from this is that finally we've got Ryan on an Apple phone.

00:02:58
Speaker 3: That's that's good. Number one.

00:02:59
Speaker 2: We get the blue bubbles at Texas there, but you don't have a case for that thing. And anytime I see somebody with a really expensive phone and no case sitting on the side of a table, it makes me a little nervous.

00:03:09
Speaker 3: So please not, please try not to knock that off.

00:03:11
Speaker 4: Definitely, she get a case. Man, why don't you just switch over the iPhone? Why won't you do it?

00:03:14
Speaker 3: The Android's a better product. It's not better picture. No, it's not. Dude, what wor old are you living? Then? I will say this about our new a Vision Glass text machine. Alan gave it back tomorrow to give to me, and people have been texting it for like the past year, even though it's been in a drawer at a Vision Glass. They've been since we had that number. When Matt was in Amsterdam. You pick it up and like, there's text messages here, even from last week where people I hate to tell them, but nobody had that phone until today.

00:03:44
Speaker 5: You're just seeing it.

00:03:45
Speaker 3: Well, I'm just now seeing all these messages. So we'll see what the first message it comes in the day During our show five oh two, what's someone notes.

00:03:50
Speaker 2: The number thirty five, thirty six, eighty five O two seven seven.

00:03:55
Speaker 3: Thirty five, thirty six, eighty.

00:03:57
Speaker 5: Seven's just all alone there? What do we do with that? Seven?

00:04:00
Speaker 3: Well, you know what right here by scooters drive through coffee. Of course, that makes you think of seven.

00:04:06
Speaker 5: Your brain?

00:04:08
Speaker 3: What makes me think of somebody that.

00:04:11
Speaker 5: Just said it?

00:04:12
Speaker 3: Yeah? Five? It starts at five oh two.

00:04:14
Speaker 5: That's pretty easy to remember. I think most people could remember the five oh two.

00:04:17
Speaker 3: What's five plus zero plus two seven?

00:04:20
Speaker 5: Seven?

00:04:21
Speaker 3: And then thirty five, thirty six eighty.

00:04:25
Speaker 2: There you go the thirty five, thirty six, but the eighty like I don't know, Like, why should I remember the eighties?

00:04:30
Speaker 5: Random? That's so random.

00:04:31
Speaker 3: We'll think of something else about too. So look, we know there's some big national news going on right now. We don't want to ignore it whatsoever. But apparently there's a press conference getting ready to happen where they're going to announce the caught the assassin that killed Charlie Kirk.

00:04:44
Speaker 4: Uh.

00:04:45
Speaker 3: You can listen part of that coverage on eighty four whas our sister station. Uh. President Trump about I think around eight seven thirty or eight o'clock this morning, said we fills with the high degree of certainty that we've caught the man respect for shooting Charlie Kirk. Uh. So, I guess we're gonna re announce that and identify him. But uh, we didn't want to ignore that this breaking news was going on right now. We just want to address it a little bit because it's a it's a big story.

00:05:11
Speaker 5: Definitely is, and I think they're going live over there, as you said, check in. We'll try to watch our phones and get any details we need to share too, but there will be some big news coming any moment now. From that, it says, look.

00:05:20
Speaker 2: Like just a little speck on the surveillance that they had, like just I mean, you know, they were so far back, the person looked like an ant on there, and somehow they were able to narrow it down and figure out exactly who that was. So whoever they have in their custody. I hope that that's the right person.

00:05:34
Speaker 3: And if you believe some of the early reports, like Patty was telling me, they think maybe the man's dad and pastor the one that turned him in. Wow, so maybe somebody you know identified him from some of that.

00:05:46
Speaker 2: And uh, they had like like a ridiculous amount of leads. I forget exactly how many, but there was like thousands of leads that were coming in and and uh, well they I think they finally got him hopefully.

00:05:56
Speaker 3: So it brings up a point I want to talk to you guys about. You know, they had a man arrested like almost immediately. Yeah. Yeah, that poor guy's face went everywhere, but he immediately assumed it was him. How does he feel today? You know, here, you're accused of this heinous crime. Your face gets plastered all over these news outlets.

00:06:13
Speaker 5: Yeah. I mentioned this yesterday. The internet. Everyone wants to be first. This has happened with other tragedies, other news. There's like no accuracy in that there's been wrong people reported in other incidents like this, and their lives get turned upside down just because these random websites or even Twitter accounts or anyone just trying to get engagement on social media are just trying to put out the first thing, come click this, coming on this, and it's often wrong. That's why it's hard to find actual news and stuff like this, because so many places are just throwing out all kinds of nonsense and it's hard to filter what's real.

00:06:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were hauling that old guy off, and I'm thinking, okay, that they must have had a gun or something on him.

00:06:50
Speaker 3: Right, why would you just randomly pick this guy?

00:06:52
Speaker 2: I kind of had a sense that maybe it wasn't him when they were dragging him off and his pants were falling down. I'm like, does a shooter really have his pants falling down as he's being dragged off? But they had the wrong guy.

00:07:00
Speaker 4: So I have to ask you when they arrested him, did the guy did they admit did he admit that he did it? Or was it kind of like did the police that they picked him out and said that it was him?

00:07:09
Speaker 3: Well, the guy that got that they've arrested today, the guy who got arrested originally the old guy, I don't know. I don't know that story behind him, but I just know he was plastered everywhere, his face there he is, he's the guy that did it. Right, people just assuming he's the guy. Obviously he wasn't.

00:07:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had to do something that you know, made him suspicious, but clearly.

00:07:26
Speaker 3: They got the wrong guy. Yeah, so that story's breaking.

00:07:29
Speaker 6: Uh.

00:07:29
Speaker 3: Like I said, if you want to hear some of the live news coverage, we got it on eighty four WHAS. But we're here to talk about Clark's Puppet Shop and UK football and Drew. Does the Cutter Bowly era begin tomorrow?

00:07:40
Speaker 5: I think we're gonna see the Cutter Bowl the era begin tomorrow. I don't think I know we're gonna see it. He's expected to start. Sounded like Calzada didn't really practice much, if at all, very limited. It was all Cutter with the ones. So I'm I'm I'm ready to see I guess not his debut, but it could be the beginning of a new era, a multi year era of Cutter Bowl. He was patient coming in this year knowing he might have to sit the whole season and next year they're looking to him as a guy as the guy, but he has an opportunity here in Week three to go ahead and speed up that process. And take over.

00:08:11
Speaker 2: We may have only had or may only have two games of the Calazada experience. But if your remark stoops, you don't have time to mess around. I mean you're on I think you know you're on the hot seat for a lot of people anyway. I mean, I don't know if it's officially the hot seat, but it feels that way. And I think Cutter Bowley this very well could be his job to lose at this point. So I think he's gonna have a big game tomorrow. Question is how does he play against South Carolina. If he has a good game against South Carolina, it's probably his job to lose.

00:08:38
Speaker 7: I think he's very young. That's what I like about him.

00:08:40
Speaker 4: He has a lot of youth on his side, a lot of potential, and I think you put him out there, you can definitely he can definitely do what he can do. And honestly, man, I don't have nothing against Casada. He had two games. You know, he didn't really be a wasn't able to really produce at a high level. I think Cutter has a lot more potential, a lot more you know, it's a higher ceiling you can roll with that. I'm excited to see what he does tomorrow.

00:09:02
Speaker 3: You know, we have a small sample size with cal Zata, basically seven and a half quarters. But you know the word I got Sundays he's legit hurt. So it's you don't want anybody to get hurt. But it's almost perfect timing to give Cutter the reins and let him go for it when you got a team like Eastern Michigan coming and that's not very good drud to to Krogerfield tomorrow.

00:09:20
Speaker 5: Yeah, we haven't gotten a report. That's gamesmanship. Being a non conference opponent, they don't have to say anything. You know, if this was SEC week on Wednesday, you have to put out something Friday and then again on Saturday, so we won't get that. But just seeing him on the bench Saturday, look to be in very very visible pain and it's a shoulder. I think he had served it on before. So even though we don't know anything, it sure looks like this is an injury that even if you know they weren't ready to switch to Cutter, they might have to be switching to Cutter in this situation, but it could just work out. It's a great opportunity for Cutter. You can't ask for a better opponent in front of you. I mean, they're an zero to two MAC team that has given up eighty points in two weeks. I mean, that's much better and starting on the road in the SEC or somewhere else. So you hate to see a guy get hurt. It happened that way, but the door has opened wide open for Cutter boldly.

00:10:04
Speaker 2: Now playing a team like that, it almost feels like a reset to the season. I know we're only on Week three, but starting with a new quarterback playing a team that you feel like you're gonna roll over, you know, I feel like it kind of feels like a reset to the season with Cutter.

00:10:17
Speaker 5: I'm almost not as concerned about the quarterback though, because the team's so bad. I mean, if Cutter doesn't look good against Eastern Michigan, my good, we might have bigger problem. Yeah. I want to see the offense run out there and not trip over each other, or the running back not running to the quarterback, or the quarterback not go to do a play action in the running back's not there, or a receiver on the wrong side. I just want to see a clean offense. It's week three, you've already had a whole camp. That end of the first half last week was so embarrassing, and I know they cleaned it up in the second, but if they have anything like that tomorrow in a home game night owing to an opponent, I mean, my goodness, that with that operation is gonna look terrible moving forward if they can't clean it up against Eastern Michigan tomorrow.

00:10:55
Speaker 3: And I think there's a little excitement about Cutter being the quarterback. I think the the players are a little a little more pepping their step maybe, I know, the fan base a little more energized kind of what both needed. The fan base needs this, the locker room needs this. You know, I heard listening I do my you know, my show prep, listening to Leach Report every day.

00:11:12
Speaker 5: And first time ever we called each other this morning. We did show prep. Yeah, that's I guess the first time in twelve years.

00:11:19
Speaker 3: So, you know, Tom was saying that the recruiting class was Cutter Hardly, Gilmore and Willie Rodrige all came in the same recruiting class. His favorite Cutter's favorite target seemed to be those two guys. You know, he hit Hardly to Gilmore with the great pass against Ole miss last Saturday, So maybe we see all three of those guys step up.

00:11:36
Speaker 5: I was about to bring that up. The big winner in this is probably hardly Gilmore. Those two have had a connection since they got on campus together. You know, they're on the second team with each other all through camp. Now they're gonna get this big opportunity. You know. I don't know their personal life, but it seems that they're close off the field too. Uh. You mentioned Rodriguez as well coming in with them. But I think the Bowl League Gilmore connection, it could be the beginning. I said a multi year Bowli era could start tomorrow. I think the door is opening for Gilmore too, especially since the receivers haven't done much to get much separation in that pack yet.

00:12:06
Speaker 2: Obviously want to see Cutter, you know, have a good game tomorrow. But I think it's also all about also about the the organizational issues they've been having. If they can just take this week and try to clean up some of those problems and hopefully get back on track and figure out whatever the issue hasn't been for the first couple of games.

00:12:21
Speaker 5: I think.

00:12:21
Speaker 3: I think that's a big thing to focus on the.

00:12:23
Speaker 4: Exactly the little things, the lineing up. You know, the game management. I think that's the key for Kentucky. They can, you know, kind of sharpen that. That's that would be a big step for I'm going for it.

00:12:33
Speaker 3: We got to talk about who's here at Clark's Pumping Shop.

00:12:35
Speaker 5: It is an all star game.

00:12:37
Speaker 3: It is at Brian and Victor here in the front with Patty. They're in the front row over here. Look, here's pat and Karen sitting over here. We got Mike and Susie Virgin It drove all the way from Hilton Head, all the way from Hilton Head to come to the show today. Mike's got a big class rem union in Nashland.

00:12:52
Speaker 5: I like Susie said, I'll go with you to Kentucky if you'll take me to a KSR remote right Friday. Yeah, So we're glad to have her here.

00:12:59
Speaker 3: And then here's look at Tracy Polly, Tracy. We all miss Jerry. God bless you. Tracy said, she's moved back to the area, back to Kentucky. It's great to see you. Look great. We miss Jerry. But you look great. So so happy you got the cam and come to the show today. So I'll start cast here today.

00:13:15
Speaker 5: Yeah, big smile on my face. She was one of the first people I saw when I got here said she lives nearby. So hopefully we can have her come to more Friday shows and help remember Jerry.

00:13:24
Speaker 3: We just gotta get her up to do the touchdown dance to win the toy to Shan's gonna tell you about that we come back. We're gonna give away gas car gas cards here today, but you gotta do something. You gotta do a touchdown dance to get a get a gas card. Karen's already agreed to do one, so we have that going on dance contest here in.

00:13:39
Speaker 5: The barrel Penson Boon Flip.

00:13:42
Speaker 3: The Clark's Puppet Shop phone number is now open. It is eight five nine two eight two too eight seven eight five nine to a cats and our Avision Glass text Machine. Shannon, what is it?

00:13:52
Speaker 2: Seven no, uh seven two seven thirty five thirty six eighties.

00:13:57
Speaker 3: That's it the aavas of Glass Tex machine. Right Andrew, Shannon and Mario right back. This is Kathecky' Sports Radio. Is this Stergil Simpson?

00:14:06
Speaker 2: I believe so, Although I'll be honest with you, I'm not a huge Sturgil Simpson fan like that is.

00:14:10
Speaker 3: But I think this is Sturgil and is this Sgil Simpson. So he liam lim uh he performs as Bourbon and Beyond Tomorrow Night, that would be correct. I think him and Jack White are both Tomorrow Night, Big Night, Tomorrow Night Night. You went yesterday I did. I had an absolute blast. That was my first Bourbon and Beyond experience. So I have some questions for Shannon. I get too, because there's been a lot of debate of old setup versus new. Uh huh.

00:14:39
Speaker 5: I don't know old, so I can't compare. I just know that I had a great time last night. I did the general parking. I was a little worried about it, to be honest, because I didn't get there till six thirty. We were out of there in no time. I mean I got home just like I'd be leaving Louisville from any other thing. Uh So, I thought it was a smooth operation. But most importantly, Benson Boone did not one flip, not two, not three, not four. I counted five flips. Incredible, incredible performance by Benson Boom. Everyone that told me he's a great performer, they weren't liars one minute. He's on this big disco piano. The next minute he's doing flips off the stage and landing like down on the ground. Then he's swooning these teenage girls that are passing out. The guy was a great performance. So Benson Boone was a highlight.

00:15:21
Speaker 3: And the logistics like aluchador wrestler doing it.

00:15:24
Speaker 5: It was incredible.

00:15:25
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:15:25
Speaker 7: Wow, Well, I have to ask you, what what is Bourbon and beyond?

00:15:29
Speaker 5: Like this is just that's Shannon. Shannon's the pro It.

00:15:31
Speaker 2: Is the world's largest Bourbon food and music festival and it happens every September in Louisoll for four days. And then after that we got Louder than Life, which is North America's largest rock festival. So I heard its eight out of eleven days and we're out there for all of it.

00:15:43
Speaker 3: I am at least ok, Shannon.

00:15:45
Speaker 5: I gave my pros. I've heard some complaints from people. I said, I can't compare, so I have no idea. What did I experience that was so different.

00:15:53
Speaker 2: I hate to be like the negative guy, but I have to be honest with you.

00:15:57
Speaker 3: I don't like the new layout.

00:15:58
Speaker 2: So the layout is completely different from years past, years past. You go in it was to the right of the Fair and Expo Center. For anybody who's ever been to the Kentucky State Fair at the Fair and expos Center, it was off.

00:16:08
Speaker 3: To the right when you go through the main gate.

00:16:10
Speaker 2: Now it's over by Kentucky Kingdome and like the I think it's the north wing kind of over in that side, and they've got us in this big iHeartRadio boombox, like this oversize, fifteen foot tall boom box. But they have us tucked away in a corner to where I mean, it's like, where's Waldo out there? You would have to really like search hard to find us out there, and I don't really like our layout with that. And then number two, you got to drive a mile from the parking lot to the festival grounds for where they've got us set up at.

00:16:40
Speaker 4: Now.

00:16:40
Speaker 2: I don't know with you guys, with general, it may have been just right there you could walk right through, but I had to walk.

00:16:45
Speaker 3: A mile just to get there.

00:16:46
Speaker 5: So I'll add to your point about finding the iHeart boot box. After I collected myself after the Benson Boone experience, yeah, put my shirt back on and got of water. I went looking for the iHeart thing I could not find it. I eventually did. But you it is off by itself, our guy, Austin. I think we're just sitting there all day. I was looking for I was looking for you. I was, but I understand your complaint. It was like, oh, iHeart, We'll put you all over here in the dark.

00:17:08
Speaker 2: And then comes the drink prices, which I talked a little bit about on the pre show. And look, if you charge somebody three four hundred dollars for a ticket, and then forty dollars to park your car each day, times that by four if you're going out there for all four days, and then it's fourteen dollars for a light beer at you know, nineteen dollars if you want to get a craft beer. I just feel like it's a little greedy.

00:17:30
Speaker 5: Well my beer was eighteen ninety five.

00:17:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, we have two passes on to giveaway. To know, that's a lot of money, right, it's a lot of money. Yeah, we're not gonna cover your forty dollars parking though. Of course it started last night, but it passes for the rest of the weekend. That's Friday, Saturday, Sunday. So somebody here Jo, they're gonna win these two ticket Patty, you know, like you'd love to.

00:17:47
Speaker 2: Somebody better get the dancing right now if you want these tickets, so touchdit.

00:17:51
Speaker 5: It blew my mind. I spent most of my time at the front two main stages, and then I kept walking and I felt like I was in another part of Louisville. And then it's like there's this whole other few right there was just two more huge stages and just as many people over in this other area. I couldn't believe how much just ground it covered.

00:18:06
Speaker 2: And then the other thing too, they have Kentucky Kingdom open, which is like the rides are just there available for anybody who's at the festival. So after you get yourself a belly full of bourbon and you go get on the tea cops and then what could possibly go wrong there? You know, like I went one to be the guy sitting behind anybody on a roller coaster. If I get on the roller coaster, I'm at the front, not in the back.

00:18:24
Speaker 5: I paid twenty for that beer.

00:18:26
Speaker 3: I'm trying to keep it down exactly exactly. So at the the end of our show, we will give away two tickets to Bourbon and Beyond We've got a lot of stuff to give away today. You can stop by today and grab a pair of Clark sunglasses, your chance to win a pair of tickets to see Eric Church at roupp Arena on October third, So we got tickets for that. You can also get a free small cup of coffee or fountain drink during the show, and everyone stops back and receive ten cents off per gown on their gas. So a lot of good reasons to come by and stop. Buy a Clark's Pumpy shop that you can come and you can pump and shop, and you can shop.

00:18:55
Speaker 5: Hanger fifty four pizza. Those good biscuits I was talking about. I got a blueberry coffee. I don't even know what that means, but that's pretty good. You ever heard of a blueberry I've.

00:19:02
Speaker 3: Had a blueberry coffee before. Those are awesome.

00:19:04
Speaker 5: That's good stuff.

00:19:04
Speaker 3: Why you like blueberry coffee? So we mentioned our new a vision glass text machine. What's the number standing?

00:19:10
Speaker 2: Uh five two seven thirty five thirty six eighty that's it?

00:19:15
Speaker 5: Yeah, Scooters seven.

00:19:17
Speaker 2: That's why I should remember seven. So I told you I would have mentioned the first text that came in. We announced it at ten o'clock. I'm gonna let you read it. That's the first one. Look at till seven.

00:19:27
Speaker 5: All right, I see it.

00:19:31
Speaker 3: It went away, It said all that build up, it said Android for Light.

00:19:36
Speaker 5: Oh, that was the first.

00:19:37
Speaker 2: That was the first one that came in Android for Life. Androids are a dying breed. If you have an Android fan, if you're an Android fan, you have Android. I'm kind of looking at you like, I don't know about this guy.

00:19:46
Speaker 5: You be careful. Ryan is not even a mile down this street. Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, was here yesterday. He was right down there. He was at the Apple store, just hanging out giving DAPs. I don't know why he was there, but that was a pretty big, pretty big get for the summit at Fritz for.

00:20:03
Speaker 3: He didn't get Ryan, though, Get Ryan to switch. Here's I'm gonna read you the first couple of texts that came in on the visual last Tex machine. Go pack, Go yep, I like that one. Did this work for KSR? Mommy squammy. Don't forget the seven. Don't forget the seven. Looks like quality texts coming in.

00:20:22
Speaker 5: It's gonna be three weeks of that. Yeah, we need some, we need some juice from the text.

00:20:27
Speaker 3: There's a ton of text on there. I'll try to go through them during the break, but we're gonna use that while man is gone. Phone lines are open eight five nine two two eight seven. That's Clark's pumping Shop phone. And we are liive at Clark's Pumping Shop right now. We can come out and see us. We got a lot of stuff to give away. Of course, the big game tomorrow with Kentucky UH and Eastern Michigan. Eastern Michigan is not good there. I mean the spread was like what twenty four and a half. I think it's up to twenty five and a half now. I think it'll probably be more than that. I mean, this could be just a feel good day. And like I said earlier, Drew, the fans need it, the locker room needs it, the coaches need it, we need it. Everybody needs a feel good win tomorrow.

00:21:01
Speaker 5: Big confidence boost game for everyone for the fan experience. It's gonna be sunny tomorrow. It's actually gonna be really hot, like high eighties during the days, so if you're tailgating, be sure to work in plenty of waters and at night drops down to about sixty I think it's a big opportunity for Kroger Field. You know, there's obviously been a lot of complaints the first two weeks. We've spent a lot of time being critical. But night games kind of bring their own energy. It doesn't matter the opponent. You get to turn on the fancy lights and the ribbon boards. They need to put on a bit of a show with the football too. After letting fans down for two weeks, night games are just different and they kind of packed their own fun, Like show us something. Let's let's have a good game there. I assume it's gonna be a win, hopefully a route. Let's also get Kroger Field rocking as best you can.

00:21:44
Speaker 4: I feel like when I was a student, the experience was the same, Like it never really changed to two thousand and five, you know what I mean, Like nothing really has changed with the fan experience, man, But it's it's gonna be exciting.

00:21:56
Speaker 7: I'm excited for the lights. I want to see the lights.

00:21:58
Speaker 5: First night game.

00:21:59
Speaker 7: Get to see the light. I think that's gonna be a cool thing about it.

00:22:02
Speaker 3: So I get the Wi Fi figured out finally, right, Because.

00:22:07
Speaker 5: Patty's shake her heads. She goes every.

00:22:09
Speaker 3: Shaky, still shaky, Yeah, not the best.

00:22:12
Speaker 2: I remember like years ago going there and you had to go up into the concourse, Like if you're at your seat, you couldn't get any WiFi. You had to go up to the concourse just to be able to get any kind of phone signal. How they still not figure that out in twenty twenty five.

00:22:24
Speaker 5: Here's how I know it's not working. When I'm walking around tailgates and talking to friends. They're all going, hey, can I get that media WiFi passport before we go in? Like is it really that bad? Is I don't have one I can give out. It's like specific each person, but everyone's always asking me a games to get on the.

00:22:38
Speaker 2: Are they doing that on purpose to keep fans off their phone? Maybe if you can't get Wi Fi, you're not gonna be on your phone.

00:22:43
Speaker 3: I got to pay the end of the game more, all right, Well take our break, come back eleven o'clock, Brooklyn Delay and Molly Tuso come here to talk to us that we are live at Clark's Puppa chop.

We got You can get a free small cup of coffee or a free Fountain drink during the show today, everybody stops and can also get ten cents off per gallon of gas. And then Shannon, if you do a touchdown dance, we're gonna give you a twenty five dollars gas card.

00:23:31
Speaker 2: That sounds great. Nobody's volunteer has done it. Yeah, this is a shy group we have here.

00:23:36
Speaker 5: Here's Brian.

00:23:37
Speaker 2: Okay, here, Brian's gonna do his touchdown dance.

00:23:42
Speaker 5: We're gonna have to do play for the listen video here.

00:23:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, do we need to get the paramedic.

00:23:46
Speaker 5: All right, so Brian has stood up. We're a stretching, stretching, stretching, a good stretch, Brian, all right, go is that the dance?

00:23:54
Speaker 3: Okay? There, stretch dance.

00:23:56
Speaker 5: Brian's wearing Hawaiian biked it. Oh nice? Oh all right, all right, whoa.

00:24:05
Speaker 3: That man has earned his twenty five dollars gift.

00:24:08
Speaker 2: Card, right, Joe his gift card, and all I had to do is show is his man boobs.

00:24:13
Speaker 7: I was not expecting that.

00:24:14
Speaker 3: Very good, very very good job, Very good, Brian.

00:24:17
Speaker 5: Hopefully one of the Kentucky guys will do that tomorrow. That was something that might be a penalty if they were to do that tomorrow.

00:24:23
Speaker 3: I guess. I guess that's when I know what I look like when I do that. Now, So there you go, looking in the mirror, but just slow down, Brian. Yeah, Brian did it right here.

00:24:33
Speaker 5: This is the moment where we really needed Matty. I think Matt would have had some opinions about what Matt.

00:24:38
Speaker 2: Would have shut that down not happened if Matt were here, And I'm sorry that she missed it.

00:24:42
Speaker 3: She didn't get to see it. So if you want to win a twenty five hours gas car, I guy, who's coming to your touchdown? Dance here Clark's Puppet Shop on nickols Field Road. All right, we got one caller. We're gonna get to him and then we're gonna talk a little more stuff. But this guy's kind of a special guy to us, and I think he just had a birthday. If it's who I think it is, Dawson. Hello Dawson.

00:25:00
Speaker 6: Hey you guys, how a'll doing today?

00:25:02
Speaker 5: Is this?

00:25:02
Speaker 3: Is this our Dawson? They just had a birthday?

00:25:05
Speaker 6: No, no, my birthday.

00:25:07
Speaker 3: I thought it was who just had a birthday? Go ahead, go ahead, Dawson.

00:25:14
Speaker 6: I'm sorry about that. So funny story.

00:25:16
Speaker 5: Ryan.

00:25:16
Speaker 6: I'm actually a freshman at UK and I actually live in the same housing hall as Josiah. So I see him passing around every now.

00:25:22
Speaker 7: And then, Oh, dump the tea.

00:25:26
Speaker 3: How many ladies as he brought to the dorm?

00:25:29
Speaker 5: I can't I.

00:25:30
Speaker 6: Can't count anymore. It's getting too much.

00:25:33
Speaker 5: Wow. Hello.

00:25:37
Speaker 6: But so just walking around campus and talking to different people, all assumes, it seems that are really excited for the game. We're all trying to get tickets. We're all just really cut for Cutter and funny storry about Cutter. His dad's actually my dentist, so I've known him for a while and just he hangs out with Hardley outside of class all the time, and so God's been having that connection I think is going to show a lot, especially they could do with that fifty three yard past they had in full miss and just kind of I think just going forward, they're gonna have a big connection just know each other outside of class. So really excited for the game and I'm really excited to see what they can do.

00:26:14
Speaker 3: Oh, I appreciate it. Dawson. Yeah, I think there is a little bit level excitement because the torch is being passed. I think, you know, this is what we wait on if he's the quarterback of the future. Now's Cutter's time, and they're gonna let him do what he can do. And like we've already said, Hartley Gilmour and Willie Rodriguez maybe the two biggest recipients of this move.

00:26:32
Speaker 6: Yeah.

00:26:32
Speaker 5: I mentioned Cutter's dad. I've heard him do a few shows this week. Yeah, I just you know his dad is gonna say good things about him. But it just sounds like Cutters had the right attitude since the spring, knowing they went out and got another quarterback that's most likely gonna be ahead of him. But one thing that stood out as his dad said that like when he check on him, Cutters just like can't wait to give facility tomorrow, can't wait to practice again, can't wait to work out again, can't wait to go throw with Gilmore again. So it's uh, he's certainly in the right headspace for a red shirt friend going into his first start this season.

00:27:01
Speaker 3: We do his time would come.

00:27:02
Speaker 2: I'm glad it's against Eastern Michigan or not like a really tough team, you know, like a Texas or somebody. You know, this sort of played out. If it were going to happen, you don't ever want anybody to get injured. I'm not saying that, but if it were going to happen, having Eastern Michigan be the game that you introduce him in as the starting quarterback, I think it's probably the best case scenario.

00:27:17
Speaker 5: It's a true freshman. He was playing on hard mode, Mike change in the setting. It's a little easier. Tomorrow, my Bill show off a little bit. He's already done the the going into Austin, going into Gainesville and then the Governor's Cup.

00:27:28
Speaker 3: I want to see him do a touchdown dance like Brian just did.

00:27:30
Speaker 7: No one is enough that's.

00:27:34
Speaker 2: Scarred in our minds now for rest for I'm tweeting it out for anybody who great, how do.

00:27:39
Speaker 7: You feel about his names? Usually you're to one taking off your shirt.

00:27:42
Speaker 3: I think I've taught Brian well. I think I think he's Toddy Will the things you need to do. There you go. It's officially on Twitter. Now, there you go.

00:27:48
Speaker 2: Everybody can see that. That's what you get for booing me every week at ov W.

00:27:55
Speaker 3: You know, Mario mentioned this, Dawson the Caller mentioned this, and Josiah also mentioned this. They are excited about the night game. I think, you know, especially for the Dawson and Josiah that her freshman is to be their first night game. When I talked to Josia yctually, I said, you go into the game goes. Yeah, cause it's the first night game. It makes it. It makes a difference and why I think they'll be a decent crowd there. I think tomorrow night.

00:28:15
Speaker 4: They should do something fun for the students. I feel like when I was a student, we would go to the first game, and then after that you wouldn't We wouldn't go to any more games, yeah, unless it was a night game.

00:28:24
Speaker 5: At Here and Narrow are the big games.

00:28:26
Speaker 4: But I feel like they should definitely figure out something to do for the students, like the students section in general, and.

00:28:31
Speaker 5: The students were good the first two games. I think part of it is you're the freshman. You're on campus for the first time, the first time get a telgate. I have family who's a freshman this season at UK, and we met up with her, and there's just all this excitement just to go to the stadium as a student. So first night game doesn't surprise me that they're they're excited. They even stayed later than I expected for the Toledo game in week one. But Mario's right, you know that'll wear off a little bit. They'll find other things to do on campus. If you're not making it fun for them week eight, they might not have that same enthusiasm that they have now, just being new and wide eyed to Lexington.

00:29:02
Speaker 2: So it has been any adjustments on the end game experience that everybody who's been talking about these first couple of weeks.

00:29:08
Speaker 5: My guy Warren Piece shout out warn piece, he brought back walk of Flaka.

00:29:13
Speaker 4: So I don't know, I don't know what they can do to make it better. I was a fan of the horses coming out.

00:29:18
Speaker 3: Horses. I like, yeah, I think they do that.

00:29:20
Speaker 5: Yeah.

00:29:21
Speaker 4: If you look at Texas like they have their longhorn, they bring their long horn out for the before the game. Why can't we bring like an animal with something that's really important to the Kentucky fan base.

00:29:29
Speaker 2: Maybe, Jock, how about a wildcat? Quean, I just bring a wild cat. We're not the horses.

00:29:35
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I mean that can work. It just worries me were we're talking to the operation that hasn't figured out Wi Fi or speakers yet and then put live animals in their hands. I'm just trying to get the basics before we get get onto the next steps.

00:29:50
Speaker 2: They got to figure it out though, because I mean that's that's been the hot topic over the.

00:29:54
Speaker 3: Last couple of weeks. They got to figure that out.

00:29:56
Speaker 5: I will compliment them. There was an instant replay during a review last week. The crowd went crazy, So at least they're listening seriously though that was a big complaint.

00:30:03
Speaker 3: They don't do that. They don't play grocery back.

00:30:06
Speaker 5: I can only imagine how many emails they got, because I know what we got from messages. So at least they did listen to the fans from week one to week two.

00:30:14
Speaker 3: So also tomorrow during the game they're going to announce the UK Hall of Fame class. Actually the induction dinner is tonight. They we've seen it before where they come out. There's six members. They'll put them on the field and introduce them. I want to go over with these guys. You tell me what you remember or think about when I say the name. First of all, Sonya Han from women's tennis and Abby Cheek from softball. There are two of the six. But now here's somebody wants you to come in on. First of all, Doug Flynn.

00:30:38
Speaker 5: I have a Doug Flynn T shirt. I should have worn it today. Of course, were to the Reds game. When I did the match game, I was wearing a Doug Flynn That's right, you were, big Doug Flynn guy.

00:30:46
Speaker 3: Doug Flynn may have played longer in the big leagues than any other UK baseball player. I mean, he won a couple World Series and he was in the He was in the big leagues for twelve thirteen years. It seems like so. And you know when he came to UK he was also a member of the basketball team, right freshman didn't play basketball back then. He was on them freshman team and then he went straight Baseball sold this. I feel like long overdue for Doug Flann.

00:31:10
Speaker 5: Yeah, I might have been this morning on Tom Leach was talking about how he was surprised, like completely caught him off guard that he would even be considered. But yeah, you mentioned his career. He still does commentary for baseball, does a job with that, so he's absolutely deserving. And you glossed over the first too. Sony was a little before my time, but I remember watching Abby Cheek. Yes, she was goodness, she was a superstar. You know, I'm probably not the best historian for UK softball, but when I think of that program, she comes to me.

00:31:34
Speaker 3: He's definitely the one name you remember. Mikayla Epps. I think well deserved to get into the UK Hall of Fame.

00:31:40
Speaker 4: Mario Marion County legend, shout out Kayleabs decided happy for her and she's I think she's playing semi pro bawl now, so it's kind of cool to see what she's She's kind of, you know, tied into basketball.

00:31:51
Speaker 7: She's still got a lot of ties to basketball.

00:31:53
Speaker 3: So and Shannon that one year and when half the team left, Matthew Mitchell's team she stayed and helped rebuild that pro back up from the ashes. I think that's part of it. And you know her dad playing at Kentucky.

00:32:04
Speaker 2: I think it just meant something different for her to be able to put that jersey on and call herself a Kentucky wild cut well deserved.

00:32:09
Speaker 5: With respect to her teammates. She was a one woman show there and damn good at it.

00:32:14
Speaker 3: So she carried that team for a couple of years. She really did. Josh Heinz Allen maybe one of the maybe one of the top two or three defensive players ever to play football At Kentucky.

00:32:24
Speaker 5: You have one of the best in the league right now too. My favorite Josh memory really isn't even a Josh thing. It's probably Freddy Maggert going, Hey, this two star that only had an offer from Monmouth, that's the one we're watching, and we're like, Freddy, you're right, what.

00:32:38
Speaker 3: Freddy, you're losing it. Freddy's a two And.

00:32:40
Speaker 5: Then we all know what Josh Allen became that and then some superhuman plays he made in that especially year I remember, I think it was at A and M. It was a loss. Maybe somebody can help remember this, but he kind of dropped back and coverage and tipped a pass. It was It's like a superhuman effort. So he was one of a kind. And as we debated a week or two ago, he's a lot on the UK Mount Rushmore.

00:33:02
Speaker 3: And the last guy's gonna be inducted Carl Anthony Towns Big Cat. Big Cat here for one year, ended up being the number one overall pick led that team undefeated until they lost to Wisconsin in the final four. Just an amazing run and an amazing guy.

00:33:17
Speaker 7: CC it's that cec.

00:33:20
Speaker 5: We're not We're not doing Cat, I remember obviously Carl was so fun, but like Carlito, just the other stuff with Carl, like photobomb and cal and LSU. Carl to be so talented. It was just a great personality to cover too. Peo people kind of forget though. It took Carl a little while to get going. I think maybe a North Carolina game he didn't play well, and then they got to sec play he hit the gas and I'd still say there'd be another championship banner if they would have just kept giving him the ball against Wisconsin.

00:33:49
Speaker 2: And allowed him to shoot a three occasionally every now, it would have been really nice.

00:33:53
Speaker 3: You never shot a three here, Cal wouldn't let him as one of the best big men's three point shooters in the NBA history.

00:34:00
Speaker 5: Of these Hall of Fame inductees, just hit me there election and if they want to come by the show pregame tomorrow.

00:34:06
Speaker 3: Right here, Yeah, tarks puppet shop Nay over road, So come on down. Let's you do a touchdown dance like Brian did. Get a twin p dollars gas called gas card.

00:34:13
Speaker 5: If you do that touchdown dance, I'll shoot my shot with Carl for the pregame show. It'll probably be a hard no. But stops.

00:34:19
Speaker 3: That's right, he stop buying talk to us for a one segment.

00:34:21
Speaker 5: Mario will stop doing that impersonation. We might get him. Sorry, I had to all.

00:34:25
Speaker 3: Right, Well take our break, come back five O two eight eight five nine two eight oh two two eight seven. The a Vision Glass Tech Machine is five O two seven thirty five thirty six eighty Right back, Ryan, Drew, Shannon and Mario here on can take a sports radio. Yeah a pump, shot a pump and shot Shannon and the pre show, Drew said, this is the beta greatest jingle for a business.

00:34:48
Speaker 2: You know, oh no, no, no, you got it wrong. I says the best nil Kentucky commercial that I've heard. Okay, now what do we have that can to compare it to the Donatos with Reed Shepherd and Rob Billingham. And I was just saying, yeah, exactly that. I'm saying, this is much better than that one. That's all I was saying.

00:35:05
Speaker 3: But it is good. I think it's fine. You were a fan of this song when it came out The Clark's Puppet Shops with Lamar Butler.

00:35:10
Speaker 5: I agree with Shannon, it's not just the song. The video is well produced. Video is good. I think it's very important. Uh, the guys have gotten better. But you mentioned like the read, there's others. Sometimes they have these nil deals and it seems like they're not doing their best effort on the promotion. But the Clark's Pumpet Shop win like that was like an actual music video that was the best we've seen so that one, and it would it's not Clark's, but one of the hotels did a really good one too.

00:35:35
Speaker 3: So it was Lama Butler did the rap, and Andrew Carr who was the third guy.

00:35:39
Speaker 5: Was Kobe and no, I don't think yeah, Jackson Robinson.

00:35:44
Speaker 3: Jackson Robinson, That's why it was Jackson Robinson. So the Clarks Puppy Shop. Come over here. We're live at Clarks Puppy Shop today on Nicholas Field Road, just south of Brandon Crossing and just south of Man of War.

00:37:02
Speaker 3: A couple of things happened in the Old Miss game we talked about but then kind of got forgotten about that. I think are really kind of glaring issues what's going on with this football program. And Drew, you talked about this. When the camera zoomed in on Zach Calzada and you can read his lips, he said, what the blank are we doing? Yeah, I mean that just the communication, the offensive execution, that just the confusion, and it kind of rued itsuk the head all right there at the end of the first first half, and it wasn't.

00:37:29
Speaker 5: Just Calzada if you had zoomed in on me in the press box. I also was saying, what the bleep are we doing, as were many fans around the stadium. As you're in a pivotal series, you're up against the half, you just gotten field goal range. The announcers are going, why are you even trying to run a play? All right, Well, they're gonna run a play anyway. In that play, they're tripping over each other and end up on the other side of the fifty. Yeah, you're an SEC football team. Like when I turn on the other Marquee prime time games, I don't see LSU players tripping over each other. I don't see them getting into film position and then getting two straight penalties and can't even execute a simple just throw the ball out of bounds to stop the clock. Even Stoops kind of called out. I guess it was called a hand and it was in direct but he was like, I didn't care what the play was. We were just trying to clock it. We're clock it. And then they go in and end up with was a legal motion and I think there was a holding and next thing you know, you're on the other side of the empty that's just you were you were a big time football program, and that looked like bush league stuff out there.

00:38:27
Speaker 2: So there was that claim claim air quotes that there were some technical issues. We've heard other people say, uh, maybe that wasn't true, But do you believe that maybe there were some technical issues? And my thing is, though, why don't you have something you can just default back to, like some sort of generic play where if things don't work, you just run that play.

00:38:45
Speaker 7: What do they do during like spring training, like practice?

00:38:48
Speaker 3: What do they do? It's a great question.

00:38:51
Speaker 2: There's got to be like a basic play where Okay, if this doesn't work or if it's all falling apart, we got five seconds, we run this play.

00:38:57
Speaker 3: Basics, Yeah, basics.

00:38:58
Speaker 2: And it seemed like there is just not anything like that in place for this offense. At least it seemed that way.

00:39:02
Speaker 5: Also, you play in Kroger field, of course there's gonna be technical difficulties, like you should already plan for when the headset goes out. I think it's happened in other seasons, and that's gonna happen a lot of places. You should be able to go off script and not need the headset. You should have a backup plan.

00:39:16
Speaker 3: So you mentioned something else that kind of glaring. When Sean McDonough and Greg McElroy, the two announcers are openly making fun of you almost during the broadcast National TV, National TV, a national audience. A lot of people have tuned in because Kentucky jumped out ten to nothing. You got your two announcers that I like, both are basically embarrassed with what they've seen so far from Kentucky.

00:39:41
Speaker 5: Your boyshnon Well.

00:39:41
Speaker 2: I look, I like Sean McDonough, but I think that he's just collent like he sees it. I mean, I can't get mad about it because I was thinking the same thing. Now, maybe you should say, okay, maybe national broadcasters shouldn't say that you know Pokemon.

00:39:52
Speaker 3: I don't, but whatever, but let's not do that.

00:39:54
Speaker 2: I mean, don't embarrass yourself, and you wouldn't have to worry about commentators making a SNYD comment like that.

00:39:58
Speaker 5: I can't remember many games like laughing at one of the teams.

00:40:01
Speaker 3: Exactly, both both guys kind of taking a minute to really kind of make fun of Kentucky. At that point, I was I was taken about it that you were ticked off by it.

00:40:11
Speaker 2: I laughed when he said, in the second half, perhaps Kentucky will defer, yeah, and give all missed the ball in the second half, And then I thought that was a great line.

00:40:18
Speaker 3: I'm sorry.

00:40:19
Speaker 5: At one point he's just like, my goodness, and he also called out stoops. He said, this is the type of things that get you fired. I was actually surprised he said that, because I was in the press box, not watching the broadcast, and I'm getting all kinds of texts like they are roasting us on ABC. So the moment I got home, I went back and rewounded that part in the game and couldn't believe how how just blunt they were, of how bad Kentucky looked.

00:40:41
Speaker 3: How many times did Freddy Maager talk to us about the middle eight the last four minutes of the first half and the first four minutes of the second half, and even the same thing. They came out of the locker room knowing they had the ball, had back to back three and outs. That first posision they got three yards, went three and out. It's almost inexcusable when the things like that had that middle eight continually, over and over and over they fail.

00:41:03
Speaker 5: And that's that spans several teams That's been a Stoops thing for how many times have you've been in a good spot with two minutes and in a half and you look up and the other team punched in fourteen right before they went to the locker room. That's just kind of something we've been used to. But to get into fild go position the way they did and just completely fumble that. Stoops mentioned that he cleaned it up at halftime. I won an audio recording of whatever he said to that staff.

00:41:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, did it work?

00:41:31
Speaker 5: Well, I mean they didn't. They weren't tripping over each other the next half. He told him to stop substituting so much. That was part of the problem, but I bet he used a little more colorful language than stop substituting.

00:41:39
Speaker 3: The veins were popping out of his head of a couple of points. That's when Mark Stoop said he's best when he's mad and got a too many shoulders. So, like I said, hopefully things will be a lot better than tomorrow night. All right, we come back.
