00:01:03
Speaker 5: UH.

00:01:03
Speaker 6: Today i'd love to you know, there's because not a lot is happening, because we haven't done a lot because the snow and ice love to hear from you. Today eight nine eight twenty two eighty seven, we'll make it sort of a ask anything Tuesday, since tomorrow is after a game, we'll probably be talking a lot about the game, so we'll do an ask Anything Tuesday eight five nine two eight twenty two eighty seven. Ryan, Uh, yesterday after the show, I went outside, dug my car out, you know, did all that. I broke uh, not one, but two scrapers in doing it because the ice was so thick yea. And but then drove around a little bit. And I have to say this morning I got up and walked, uh to get something to drink. And I think the roads are worse this morning than they were yesterday, outside of like Barnstown Road, but like the side street, cause it's all like a it's all ice now it's not there's no snow in between, so it is I think pretty treacherous outside.

00:02:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you're stuck in Louisville. Drew, Billy and I all stuck in our houses and next to me because of you. What you just said in the neighbor But.

00:02:14
Speaker 6: I got out. I drove around. Are you are you like scared to drive around? Like get out of your house?

00:02:20
Speaker 2: I just it's just the neighborhood streets. If I can get to the main roads, I think it'll be okay. But just to get out of my neighborhood to get to the main streets is what is. It's just like a skating rink out there and everybody's parking lot.

00:02:31
Speaker 5: Yeah. So if you tried, no, no, what are you waiting on?

00:02:35
Speaker 6: It's gonna be like that for a long time, Like you're gonna have to get out, shann Isn't he gonna have to get out and just do it?

00:02:40
Speaker 4: At some point you gotta rip the bandaid off.

00:02:42
Speaker 5: Right yetside.

00:02:44
Speaker 6: It took me a long time, And you know, I'm not a handy person, Shannon, Right. I had somebody gave me this long.

00:02:50
Speaker 2: Brush slash, yeah.

00:02:54
Speaker 6: You know. And and the ice was so thick it it snapped shanning the me in half.

00:03:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's yeah, that's how you know it's straight ice.

00:03:04
Speaker 5: But I still I kept chipping away, right, I chipped away, got my car out.

00:03:08
Speaker 6: I drove last night to Elma Paul Shannon's got our saus so that we can mix together.

00:03:14
Speaker 5: Right.

00:03:14
Speaker 6: That place was insane because again that's not much place. Uh, And then drove home so like I did, I was like, you gotta get out. You can't just sit in here forever. Ryan, What are you waiting on? Like it's gonna be under twenty degrees for the next few days and it's supposed to snow on Friday.

00:03:31
Speaker 5: Are you just never leaving?

00:03:32
Speaker 2: I think it's just a safety for my own beam and not get out on the roads like they're telling you do not get down the road unless you have to.

00:03:40
Speaker 6: Are they still saying that, Shanning.

00:03:42
Speaker 3: I don't think so. Like we got actually people in the station today I talked.

00:03:44
Speaker 2: To I feel like I feel like he's making.

00:03:48
Speaker 6: An excuse you.

00:03:48
Speaker 4: He just wants to stay home, like.

00:03:51
Speaker 6: There are people out like are you? But I'm just what's gonna be the thing that makes you leave? It's not gonna get better.

00:03:58
Speaker 2: When I can see some some cards cars in my cul de sack get out of it, I can go, But now they just go out and the wheels are just spinning. So I don't think I'm any any any hurry to get you know, try to fight the elements. And like I said, if I can get to the main roads, it's good. It's just get into the Drew's the same way. Drew can't get out of his neighborhood.

00:04:15
Speaker 4: This morning, a bunch of cars were stuck.

00:04:16
Speaker 3: Yesterday I went for a walk and it was just car after car just spinning out.

00:04:20
Speaker 4: And I didn't know whether to help them or just laugh at them. So I just laughed at them.

00:04:23
Speaker 6: And you thought about just laughing at Tawny man.

00:04:28
Speaker 4: I didn't like it up in their window, but I wasn't gonna laughing.

00:04:31
Speaker 2: But Shannon likes to talk spots. He's living the life then in a hotel downtown of Louisville.

00:04:36
Speaker 6: But but Shannon, you're going home today.

00:04:38
Speaker 2: I've run out of underwear.

00:04:39
Speaker 4: I need a change of clothes. Yeah, I'm gonna go back.

00:04:42
Speaker 6: I feel like, I mean, I'm not telling you what to do, right, except I am. I feel like you you should. You should be trapped because here about because again I don't know what you're waiting for. Like they're not gonna come scrape your street right as you live, Like there'd be no reason for them to come over there, Like you're one of on the lowest prior.

00:04:59
Speaker 2: Well you a hoa though, right, Yeah, but that doesn't cover I think snow removal. What does it cover? Oh you know they got them, you know the flowers they plant out front.

00:05:10
Speaker 5: Oh that's good.

00:05:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what.

00:05:12
Speaker 6: You know what I would say to him shaving, You can keep your flowers, get me out of my house.

00:05:17
Speaker 2: Amen.

00:05:17
Speaker 6: So it's gonna so like, what are you gonna do? I mean, are you just not? Are you just giving up forever? Do you have a shovel?

00:05:24
Speaker 2: I've shoveled all the ice off my front porch so I don't bust my butt when I walk outside.

00:05:30
Speaker 5: Okay, so why not go ahead and do the driveway?

00:05:32
Speaker 2: I did the driveway, so I'm not doing the whole cul de sac and the little hill that goes from Greendale up into my neighborhood where everybody can't get up right now?

00:05:40
Speaker 6: All right, so there's a hill that keeps you stuck.

00:05:43
Speaker 3: You're saying, yeah, yeah, I feel like it's a mess of Ryans. His dogs fell in the pool last night, and.

00:05:49
Speaker 5: Said, your dog's fell in the pool. What does that mean?

00:05:52
Speaker 2: I was out banging the ice off the steps outside, just so they could get up and down the steps, not knowing that my dog had I guess, stepped on the ice in the pool and fell in. I didn't. I had no idea.

00:06:05
Speaker 4: Did you jump in and rescue it?

00:06:06
Speaker 5: No?

00:06:07
Speaker 2: He paddled over to dad and got out by himself. And he came up to me, and he was soaking wet. And I look, I see where the ice had been broken on the top of the point. I didn't even know if he felt a.

00:06:16
Speaker 6: Dog fell into a freezing pool.

00:06:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, and got himself out.

00:06:21
Speaker 5: Why?

00:06:21
Speaker 6: And again, I know nothing about pools, but aren't you supposed to have it covered this time of year?

00:06:28
Speaker 2: The way my pool is shaped, you can't get it covered for it like it would take my covers.

00:06:32
Speaker 6: Yeah, I bet you can't. Like I bet, I bet they'd make one. I would think they would so so, I mean, if that had happened, so your dog got itself out.

00:06:43
Speaker 2: Got him Yeah, just paddled over to the steps and walked down the steps of the pool. And I had no idea. I'm lucky. What if he had fallen under the ice, got under the ice?

00:06:54
Speaker 6: What's crazy, Shanes.

00:06:55
Speaker 5: I can't do anything, you know that.

00:06:57
Speaker 6: I have no ability to do anything, and y, I feel like I'm better prepared for this storm than he is.

00:07:02
Speaker 5: He has he has pets, children falling.

00:07:05
Speaker 6: Into the pool, he has like he can't get out of his driveway.

00:07:09
Speaker 4: The whole fiasco.

00:07:10
Speaker 6: It is a old fiasco. And then Drew's the same way. I just I don't know. Here's what I know. There's one person who got out, Yeah, and that's me, Ship, I got out.

00:07:25
Speaker 3: I've been out, you've been yeah, But I don't know about these guys.

00:07:29
Speaker 6: So, so it is frigid cold. Like I went outside, it's crazy cold. Like I said that, the streets are ice. Now it's supposed to get colder the next two days, right, I saw that on Thursday it might get down to minus three.

00:07:47
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, zero I think is typical gonna happen on Thursday and Friday minus three Ship.

00:07:54
Speaker 4: Yeah, I means all this ice anywhere, and then we get more on Friday.

00:08:00
Speaker 6: So then it's supposed to snow more on Friday and Saturday. They are expecting six to ten inches Friday. At the Cotton Bowl in Dallas.

00:08:10
Speaker 5: You know, there's a.

00:08:10
Speaker 6: Playoff game Friday night, and they are expecting six to ten inches. Now I have been in Dallas when it snowed and the city you talk about people shading that don't know how to handle, they just immediately drive off the road just to make things easier for everybody, like they go straight. Drew and I were there when UK play Bayley. I remember that and it was it was a disaster. So that's gonna be fun to watch because they're gonna be just forget it, like they have no chance. But here, you know, there is a there's a part of me that goes like, are we just like is there just nothing for the next week? Is there absolutely nothing we can do? Are we just stuck?

00:08:53
Speaker 5: I mean, Ryan, seriously, when are you planning to get out of your house?

00:08:57
Speaker 2: I'm hoping maybe Monique or somebody with a truck can come get for the game.

00:09:01
Speaker 5: Monique, he's gonna pick you up.

00:09:03
Speaker 2: She's got a big four wheel drive truck. If you got a big truck, can come pick me up and take me to the restaurant.

00:09:08
Speaker 5: So he just wants random people to come pick him up.

00:09:12
Speaker 4: Ron, what do you drive? Don't you drive like an SUV?

00:09:14
Speaker 6: No?

00:09:14
Speaker 5: I got a big car.

00:09:16
Speaker 2: I got a Chevy Excursion, And you don't think that can get up the hill. I haven't tried it yet.

00:09:22
Speaker 6: I mean, my Alexus gets up these hills. I feel like that's the same thing, isn't it, Shannon? Yeah, pretty much. I mean you can think.

00:09:29
Speaker 4: I think you can do it today, right right?

00:09:31
Speaker 5: Your day, Ran, and I think you can.

00:09:32
Speaker 6: I feel like if you put it so, Kentucky plays at seven, right, and we are opening the bar at three. So we're finally gonna open back up at three because we want to be open for the game tonight. Now, Ryan, you want to try to come to that right.

00:09:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got a pregame show to do before the game to night.

00:09:48
Speaker 6: We got a pregame show at four point thirty. I mean, do you need me to send the Fayette County Metro Services to get you because I'm playing in Shannon to drive from Louisville to Lexington today?

00:10:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, and if you can do that. And we had ten and a half inches of snow here.

00:10:03
Speaker 6: Yeah, we had twice as much snow.

00:10:04
Speaker 2: And you're I remember about ten years ago we had this bad storm and that at the time, the I hard had some vehicles that before we'll drive, they were coming to our houses and picking us up and taking us to the radio station and do the show.

00:10:17
Speaker 6: It's clear what he wants.

00:10:19
Speaker 4: He wants people to want first class service.

00:10:21
Speaker 5: Wants that's exactly right, he wants first class service.

00:10:26
Speaker 2: She should drive here in his jeep and pick me. He wants people to.

00:10:28
Speaker 6: Come and pick him up and take the little dainty princess out for the day.

00:10:35
Speaker 4: You've created this monster. He's bougie, now.

00:10:37
Speaker 6: You know he is bougie for somebody that you wouldn't think of as bougie. Right, he's a little boogie. You and I are men of the people.

00:10:45
Speaker 4: Yeah, did we get out there and shovel driveways?

00:10:47
Speaker 6: That's exactly right, all right? A nine eighty seven Kentucky plays at you play at seven o'clock on the SEC network. Played Georgia. So I because I was here and didn't have anything to do, I did so Georgia research. Yeah, they've only lost twice this year. They lost to Marquette, who you know is ranked in the top ten, and they lost to Old Miss last week. They were ahead at Old Miss at halftime. Okay, Ole Miss is good, and they were ahead at halftime. Then Old Miss came back and went I said yesterday, they have a top ten pick on their team. They do, and it is not the one that Kentucky fans wrote me saying it was. So they have that guy somtow is Zeril Cyril, who originally committed to cal here if I'm correct, right right, He is not the projected top ten pick. Matter of fact, he comes off.

00:11:39
Speaker 5: The bench and he only plays ten to twelve minutes.

00:11:43
Speaker 6: He might play a little more than that to this, but he their guy is their power forward Asa Newall, who has projected ninth in the draft. He's averaging sixteen and twelve. He's been their leading scorer in five the last six games. Right to be guarded probably by Andrew Carr. Again, how do you expect us to match up with him?

00:12:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, he must be a really good player. I think the only reason he went to Georgia because his older brother, it was already on the Georgia basketball team. Like you said, this is the top ten pick that probably could have picked a bigger school, better basketball school. They wanted to play for his brother. So I think he definitely proposes a matchup problem for Kentucky because we've seen Andrew Carr have some problems on defense.

00:12:27
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean he's good and they have guards they have a number of guards. This is weird to me, Shannon. Of their three leading scorers, two of them come off the bench.

00:12:37
Speaker 4: I mean, sounds like last year for us.

00:12:40
Speaker 2: You know what he does.

00:12:43
Speaker 6: They have two guards. I think one of them's name is Montgomery and then there's something else. But they have two guards who are the only two people besides Newell Over averaging double digits. And they come off the bench. They don't even start. So when we watched the game tonight, you know we have to watch There'll be a second wave of guys who come off the bench, who light it up, who shoot well from the outside. You know, we we shoot like what forty nine percent from the field, so do they. I mean, I knew this would be a tough game because it's on the road, but Ryan, I actually think it's harder, maybe than I realized when you break down the stats. This team beat Saint John's earlier in the year. They won at Georgia Tech a road game, Like, Ryan, this is gonna be a tough game tonight.

00:13:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Mike White's a good coach. That's one of those sneaky road games on a Tuesday night where you see teams and I baby come out a little flat. Kind of concerns me a little bit because Georgia is a pretty good team that when nobody talks about because the SEC is so top heavy right now.

00:13:42
Speaker 6: And they they're having a T shirt night chanting shirt. Listen to what their schedule is. By the way, they play US tonight, they play Tennessee Saturday, number one in the country, and they play Auburn next Tuesday.

00:13:56
Speaker 4: Old my brutal stretch.

00:13:58
Speaker 6: They go Kentucky, Tennessee, Auburn And by the way, they played a ranked Ole Miss team in the first game. That's the crazy stretch. They're playing the number six team, the number one team, and then the number two team. That's that's as hard as stretch as you'll ever see in basketball, and they're starting it right now. So af I'm nine two eight twenty two eighty seven. Text machine is seven seven two seven seven four five two five for one person writes Matt, I will come pick up Ryan if he needs it. Would he like me to bring him some ice cream or a soda on the way so that he gets full full service.

00:14:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be actually a sweet idea. And what my plan is after the show is try to get in my car and just kind of see if I can get to the main rogue. I know, once I get to the main road, I think or I'm good.

00:14:46
Speaker 3: He's gonna call us to come push him as he's gonna get stuck.

00:14:49
Speaker 6: He is, by the way. Some things that Jacksonville reporting. One of the leaders for the Jacksonville Jaguars job maybe Liam Cohen. So what about that.

00:14:57
Speaker 4: He would for one year and you know he wouldn't do that.

00:15:01
Speaker 6: He may end up being an NFL coach. After just having left here, We'll take a break and be right back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome back, Turkey Sports Radio. Hey if I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven text machine seven seven two seven seven four five two five four one person rights. Matt Ryan said he drove a Chevy Excursion. There is no such thing as a Chevy excursion. Ford makes an excursion.

00:15:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's an hang on, it's it's a equinox. I have an equinox.

00:15:33
Speaker 4: He doesn't know what he drives.

00:15:36
Speaker 6: How long have you How long have you had that car?

00:15:39
Speaker 2: Probably four years?

00:15:40
Speaker 6: You've had the car for four years and you you you thought, did you think it was an excursion all these years.

00:15:48
Speaker 2: No, I don't know why I said that. It's an equinox, so it's a Ford equinox, a Chevy equinox, so it's a Chevy equinox. Yes, and you said Chevy excursion. Yes, okay, yeah, yeah, maybe he should stay home, Shannon.

00:16:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, he doesn't know what he drives.

00:16:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, I gotta take him. I got a lot of people offering to pick me up, including blind Andy, who says he's going to drive up here.

00:16:08
Speaker 5: Okay, well that maybe just that made me better.

00:16:10
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:16:13
Speaker 6: One of the people upset is your girlfriend who wrote me and said that you had that you're too old to be schevey as shaving.

00:16:25
Speaker 2: That.

00:16:26
Speaker 6: She sent me five text The first one says Ryan is almost sixty. He doesn't need to be chevely. So first of all, I don't think you're almost sixty, you're only what are you fifty.

00:16:37
Speaker 4: Six, fifty eight or almost sixty? You really are almost I mean you shouldn't be shoveling.

00:16:43
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know what, just stay home and just stay Just.

00:16:45
Speaker 2: Get a blow torch. Yeah, it happens every snowstorm. There's somebody will be out shoving snow and have a heart attack. It's sad.

00:16:52
Speaker 5: Well, you said that happened. Where did that happen?

00:16:55
Speaker 4: I'm thinking Louisville guys out you know.

00:16:59
Speaker 5: Over did yeah?

00:17:00
Speaker 6: That that said? Do you do you feel good about this game?

00:17:03
Speaker 7: Right?

00:17:03
Speaker 6: Do you feel like we're uh? I mean, you know. Let me just tell you how I break down the road games. Okay, because we have nine road games. We have two that I have no expectation of winning, Tennessee and Alabama. If we win those, that's awesome, but I have no expectation of win. We have three that I feel like we should win. Obviously we could lose, but we should win. That's Missouri Vandy and this one all right. And then we have four that I think are toss ups but that it would be nice to pull out. I'd like to see us go two and two in those Texas, Oklahoma, Old miss and Mississippi State. That's kind of how I look at it. So I put this one in the three that, like, you know, if you want to have a chance to win the SEC, you gotta win this game. How do you look at the game tonight?

00:17:55
Speaker 2: I feel like with these two road trips this week, you can't go on to I agree with totally. You got at least gotta split them, and tonight is the more winnable game. Saturday, Mississippi State is really good. So if you gotta if you're if you you know, you don't want to go oh and two, you gotta win a night.

00:18:10
Speaker 6: Then I feel like I think the I think you're exactly right. I think you gotta win one of these two. You gotta win one of these two. Kind Of my way of looking at it, Shannon, is I think we're gonna go twelve and six in conference, and so you know, if you could win every home game, you could go three and six on the road.

00:18:29
Speaker 5: I think you'll probably drop a home game or so.

00:18:32
Speaker 6: So I look at those four games I was talking about Mississippi State, Old miss Texas, Oklahoma, and say every one of those you win, Shannon, you could drop a home game and be okay, right, yeah, so, but I don't. I think this is one of the three, along with Vandy and Missouri, that if you really want to have a shot, you gotta win this one. Because I mean, it's not easy. We're only a two and a half point favorite. But if you're gonna like make noise in the conference, these are the kind of games you have.

00:19:00
Speaker 4: You got to get this one.

00:19:01
Speaker 3: Reboundy is going to be key tonight, I think, and Kobe Bray, I mean, we don't really know if he's even gonna play tonight.

00:19:07
Speaker 5: Okay, so let's talk about what is that. I saw that and did I miss something?

00:19:12
Speaker 3: I mean, must have been in practice because he didn't show any signs of it in the game against Florida.

00:19:17
Speaker 2: Is he sick like it? Maybe he is sick. No, I'm saying that's what I think. Something had come up out of the blue. No report of an injury. Maybe he just got a stomach bug or he's sick or something.

00:19:29
Speaker 4: Do we lose Matt?

00:19:30
Speaker 2: Maybe we lost Matt.

00:19:31
Speaker 4: I think we did well.

00:19:33
Speaker 3: Do we think that maybe he got that injury from holding that baby? I'm right here, dropped out for like ten seconds.

00:19:39
Speaker 6: Well, I was here. I was saying, you know, that's why you gotta be careful putting these people around children, right.

00:19:46
Speaker 4: The same thing I said, Oh was it?

00:19:47
Speaker 6: I didn't hear you saying because they all they all have snot, you know, and they all I'm telling you, there's never been a baby that didn't have snot. You have to you have to be careful. But if we don't have brain, then all of a sudden, you know, one of these other dudes, Ryan's gonna have to have a big game. Whether it's Jackson, Robinson or Butler or Carr, one of these other dudes is really gonna have to play better than normal.

00:20:12
Speaker 2: You know, you mentioned how Georgia brings guards off the bench and they provide a spark. Well, Kobe's the guy that comes off our bench provides us with the spark.

00:20:19
Speaker 5: So yeah, that's true.

00:20:19
Speaker 2: Somebody else is gonna have to step up and fill a void.

00:20:22
Speaker 6: Also, by the way, Vandy has that Tyron Lawrence guy. Excuse me, Georgia does that played at Vandy that used to light us up? Didn't he have like one or two huge games against us?

00:20:32
Speaker 5: Shandon Over, Yeah, he's.

00:20:33
Speaker 4: A really good player.

00:20:34
Speaker 3: I didn't even realize he was still playing college basketball, Georgia.

00:20:38
Speaker 5: He's one of the starting guards.

00:20:40
Speaker 6: They got a lot of good guards, and then they got a top ten NBA draft pick big and that's not even counting the former UK commitment. McDonald's all American, Cyril. So I mean, this is a good roster we're playing tonight. Do you want a t shirt night.

00:20:56
Speaker 2: Do you think that Carr can handle this kid?

00:21:00
Speaker 6: You know, they'll probably have to put Williams on him and Garrison, which is gonna make us have to go big some which I don't think is our most efficient offense. But that's just what we're gonna have to do because this dude's a load and we've got to be able to control it.

00:21:15
Speaker 5: Who's up first, Scotty, Scotty, what's up, Scotty?

00:21:19
Speaker 8: Hey, Matt, I not ask anything questions in regards to the basketball practice facility. I know Cal complained about that. It's the last few years of the UK, and I was just curious if you know what Mark Pope thinks about it.

00:21:32
Speaker 6: I don't know what Mark Pope thinks about it, you know. I think it's unlikely that we I don't think they will fix they will put up a new basketball facility unless a donor comes and just says I'll pay for all of it. I do not think the university will dedicate funds because of what we've talked about the way so much money is now gonna have to be transitioned to paying athletes, et cetera. I think it'll be a few years before they could do that. But if there was a donor that came and said, I'll pay for all of it, then that might be a different thing.

00:22:07
Speaker 8: So do you think it needs to be updated? I didn't know if he was just Yeah.

00:22:10
Speaker 6: I mean it is not and I appreciate the call. It is not the best. It is not the best of the best. There are places that are better. But Ryan, I actually think the facilities thing probably matters less today than it did a few years ago because ultimately, in I else why a lot of these kids are making their decision.

00:22:29
Speaker 5: That's it.

00:22:29
Speaker 2: They're not going to base it on the living conditions, Like who is a Trey what's his name?

00:22:34
Speaker 6: Did and Tray Young?

00:22:35
Speaker 2: Trey Young when he downplayed Kentucky's living conditions, that's one reason he said he can eliminated that. That's not the case anymore. It's what kind of money, what's my best deal I can get?

00:22:43
Speaker 6: Yeah, So, I mean I think facilities still matter. You still want to have top of the line, But I think that was a key factor in kids' decisions four years ago. Yeah, I don't think that's true anymore. So I don't think it's as pressing an issue maybe as it was we will take a break. Be right back. It's Kentucky Sports Radio.

00:23:04
Speaker 5: TJ.

00:23:04
Speaker 4: Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ. He'll make them pay. Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio. Present it by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.

00:23:14
Speaker 5: Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. Shannon. This was inevitable. What's up?

00:23:20
Speaker 6: Probably fifteen people riding me saying they're in their sixties and they shoveled their their thing.

00:23:26
Speaker 5: Yeah.

00:23:26
Speaker 6: One person writes, I'm sixty six. I shovel my own snow. I know Ryan can do it. I feel it for him. Tell him he's got the power. And you too. You three sound like whimps. Well, first of all, how they throw us on? Yeah we got we got, we got out.

00:23:40
Speaker 4: I drove through a damn blizzard.

00:23:43
Speaker 5: I drove to El Nepaul. Think about that.

00:23:46
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you got fajitas and salsa.

00:23:50
Speaker 6: One person writes, chevy Ford Equinox has front wheel drive and four wheel drive.

00:23:55
Speaker 5: Does Ryan know which one he has?

00:23:58
Speaker 2: It's the one that doesn't go good and this in the ice.

00:24:02
Speaker 4: That's his answer. Whichever one doesn't go well, that's the one he's got.

00:24:07
Speaker 6: Well, you know, I mean, I think four wheel drive is the one that goes.

00:24:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, but when you have front wheel or real rear wheel, the wheels.

00:24:15
Speaker 6: Just see you don't have four wheel drive.

00:24:17
Speaker 2: I have the rear wheel. My wheels just spin on ice.

00:24:21
Speaker 6: Okay, well you uh well, I'm sorry about that. I don't know what to say. I wish you had it. One Person Rights, Matt, I'm worried about tonight's game. We lose a game like this every year. I'm feeling like it will be tonight because of the big win. I mean, it's certainly plausible, Ryan, I mean, it's certainly plausible they could go down there and lose. I'm with you. They gotta win one of these next two. I think it would be easier if you're playing with house money Saturday night.

00:24:48
Speaker 2: And I think it's gonna be harder to win Saturday night because Mississippi State, we talked about it yesterday, plays a way that gives Kentucky problems to the on know, and that's just the blueprint how to beat Kentucky. And that's the way they normally play. So if you're gonna get one, tonight's the one you gotta get.

00:25:01
Speaker 5: Then One person Rights, Matt, you're here today.

00:25:04
Speaker 6: So does that mean that you got the contract with iHeart figured out.

00:25:09
Speaker 5: No, but because of the weather in Kentucky.

00:25:12
Speaker 6: Games, I'm not I'm trying not to miss Shannon unless we have to, right, I mean, you know it's right now, Yeah, I mean, so I'm gonna try to I'm doing my best to try to work through it until we come up with something.

00:25:26
Speaker 5: So, you know, but if I don't show up one day Shannon, now you'll.

00:25:30
Speaker 3: Know, we'll just you know, carry the baton as long as we can until you Yeah, I.

00:25:34
Speaker 6: Mean my hope is because it's during the season. You know, I don't want to There's a game tonight, right, I don't wanna. You know, I don't want to miss unless I have to. So we're I'm I'm trying to work through it as much as I can.

00:25:46
Speaker 2: I gotta admit you sent us all group text last night. When I saw it pop in, It's the first thing that popped in my mind.

00:25:52
Speaker 6: I was gonna say, I'm not gonna be there.

00:25:54
Speaker 2: Like I'm not gonna be there to show tomorrow.

00:25:56
Speaker 6: You know, stuck Negotia, you know they do they send these like Shandon, what is it like week long things?

00:26:04
Speaker 5: You know, what I mean to keep you going until you come to a resolution.

00:26:08
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, like a little week longest stenchion or something.

00:26:10
Speaker 6: Yeah, something like that. So hopefully we can do it. Tonight Florida plays Tennessee. Tennessee goes to Florida.

00:26:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Florida.

00:26:18
Speaker 6: Comes off having come here and now Tennessee's the last undefeated team left in the country. Do they go down to night at Florida?

00:26:25
Speaker 2: Man, you know we all watched them just run Arkansas off the floor after Kentucky beat Florida on Saturday. Tennessee is for real, but Florida also is pretty dagone good. They score one hundred points and lost. I won't be shocked if Florida wins this game tonight.

00:26:39
Speaker 5: But who you pick it?

00:26:40
Speaker 2: Florida?

00:26:41
Speaker 6: You're picking Florida to win at home? Okay, what about you? You picking to Shannon, You're picking Tennessee to go on the road Florida.

00:26:47
Speaker 3: I think, you know, like, as good as the SEC is, there's two teams at the top, Tennessee and Auburn, who are just a little bit better than everybody else. And I think even on the road, as good as Florida has been, I think Tennessee wins tonight.

00:26:58
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, for me, this is the game to see if Tennessee and I it hurts my soul to say it, but to see if they're the best team in the country, because I think if they go down there and beat Florida on road, then they're gonna be the best team in the country right now. I kind of think Auburn is even though they lost that one game to Duke, But I'm gonna pick Florida.

00:27:21
Speaker 5: Part of it might be the bias of.

00:27:22
Speaker 6: Having just seen them play, but I think I think it's gonna be hard to win on the roads.

00:27:26
Speaker 5: You know, they there were eight games in the.

00:27:29
Speaker 6: SEC this weekend. Only one road team won. Seven home teams won. Does anybody know the one road team to win Vandy. Vandy is the only team that won on the road. They went and't won at LSU. But I think you're gonna see it's gonna be so hard to win on the road that if the teams are even close to match up, I'm generally gonna pick the home team. So I'm gonna pick Florida tonight.

00:27:50
Speaker 2: Okay, go with this. Then the number two team to country is Auburn. They're on the road tonight. Is number one.

00:27:58
Speaker 5: Yeah, now that's a tough one too. I mean I think I probably.

00:28:02
Speaker 2: There's number one and number two.

00:28:03
Speaker 5: There's a chance that you could take text. I don't know. I don't know enough about Texas. I haven't watched them.

00:28:09
Speaker 6: I haven't watched them like intently, so I don't know, but it would be interesting. I mean, you could have one and two both wine or they could both win these games and you go, Okay, those are the two best teams.

00:28:19
Speaker 5: In the country.

00:28:20
Speaker 6: So we'll see who's next. Radio RN, Radio Ran, How are you well.

00:28:25
Speaker 7: I'm fine, man, Good morning to everyone. Have snow covered morning. It is in Louisville as well, you know, man, Yeah, it's every a couple of everywhere. I'm snowed in a couple of comments. Thank you for bringing me up to date on the whereabouts of TJ Bisner. I remember, of course, when you left KStV, he became the host and we worked together for four years with Radio Run's Reflection Risk. And so he's in the big time with Belichick.

00:29:04
Speaker 6: Yes, he's hanging out with Belichick now.

00:29:09
Speaker 7: And I wanted to tell you, mad but a couple of weeks ago, in mid December, I entered the completed the jingle Bell Jog five k in Stanford.

00:29:21
Speaker 6: The jingle Bell Jog.

00:29:24
Speaker 7: Jingle Bell Jog in Stanford, and I got first place. And I wanted to tell you I had one competitor.

00:29:32
Speaker 6: Oh okay, see one competitor And how old was the competitor?

00:29:38
Speaker 7: Eighty seven?

00:29:39
Speaker 6: And you're on again, Ron, what are you again?

00:29:43
Speaker 7: Ninety to infinity? They made a new category for me.

00:29:47
Speaker 5: All right, so you put you ran against eighty seven year old?

00:29:50
Speaker 6: How much did you beat him by the jingle bell jog five minutes?

00:29:55
Speaker 5: Okay?

00:29:56
Speaker 6: You when he crossed the line, did you talk trash to him?

00:30:01
Speaker 9: Yeah?

00:30:01
Speaker 7: I raised my hands and I said, good luck, young man, and future races.

00:30:06
Speaker 5: Oh wow, that's a saucy, isn't it.

00:30:09
Speaker 7: Sh Yeah, I'm becoming more saucy in my oldie.

00:30:14
Speaker 5: Yes you are. Well, just keep the tame there, Ron. Well, it's good to hear from you.

00:30:20
Speaker 6: Congrats on your jingle Bell Jog victory and good luck going forward.

00:30:27
Speaker 7: Well, thank you. Guess who was running with me all the way? Larry vaugh You know him, Yes, Larry, I just figured it out.

00:30:35
Speaker 6: That was I just that was a good guess Ron, Thank you very much. I appreciate the call. Who's up next?

00:30:41
Speaker 4: Shape, Let's go to Doug.

00:30:43
Speaker 5: Doug, go ahead, Doug.

00:30:46
Speaker 9: Yeah, man, I'm calling reference to your show yesterday. And uh that the politician's wearing a name tag.

00:30:53
Speaker 6: Yes.

00:30:54
Speaker 9: Uh, I actually have a belt with my name on it. My son said that's in case I get lost.

00:31:00
Speaker 5: Are you a politician?

00:31:03
Speaker 9: No, sir, No, not hardy okay, but I am seventy six, seventy six years old and I did shovel my driveway.

00:31:11
Speaker 5: Oh oh.

00:31:13
Speaker 4: If Doug and radio'ron can shovel their driveway, Ryan, so canu.

00:31:16
Speaker 2: So dog did shovel my driveway.

00:31:18
Speaker 6: So, Doug, do you believe that that Ryan can get out of his house?

00:31:23
Speaker 9: Absolutely?

00:31:25
Speaker 4: You're getting trash talk about.

00:31:26
Speaker 5: You've got Doug.

00:31:27
Speaker 6: You got ninety three year old Ron running in the jingle bell jog and seventy six year old Doug Ryan.

00:31:36
Speaker 5: Do you hear these people? Aren't they inspirations?

00:31:38
Speaker 2: You can be one hundred year old guy, and if your car still can't drive on the ice, then there's nothing you can do about it.

00:31:45
Speaker 6: Here.

00:31:46
Speaker 9: So I'm like, I'm going to get out today you and I'm going in about an hour. I'm going to go to the gym.

00:31:52
Speaker 6: Look at that dog. Don't get them, Doug, do your thing, Doug, be careful. I appreciate the call. Doug going to the gym at seventy six.

00:32:01
Speaker 2: Good for him, Man, good for him.

00:32:03
Speaker 5: Dude, that's man.

00:32:05
Speaker 2: These guys are showing you up, showing me up. I got out and shoveled my driveway. Then why did.

00:32:13
Speaker 5: Your girlfriend write me and say don't tell him to shovel?

00:32:15
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I did it.

00:32:20
Speaker 4: I don't know.

00:32:20
Speaker 2: Take a picture and all right, I'll take a picture out my window.

00:32:24
Speaker 6: Maybe that was your dog that fell into the pool. Recent snow and ice storms have hit the Bluegrass, and with the freezing temperatures coming, there's potential for burst pipes, flooded homes, and electrical fires. If you need help, call one eight hundred Serve pro s E r VP r O dot com. I hope that none of that is happening for you, because really that's a that's awful to deal with. But if it happens, your friends at surf pro will help you see how you can get back to like it never happened before. One Serve Pro, that's ser vp r O dot com. They're out in the green vans right now helping people if you need them one eight hundred uh serve pro. We'll take a break. Be right back this KSR. Welcome back in his Tucky sports radio AF I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven text machines seven seven two seven four five two five four one person rights mattuh I sell chevyes for a living. There is no such thing as a rear wheel drive Chevy Equinox. They either come four wheel drive or front wheel drive.

00:33:25
Speaker 2: It's definitely not four wheel drive, so it must be four front wheel drive.

00:33:29
Speaker 6: So so far, if you had asked ryand he believed he drove a Chevy Excursion, real rear wheel drive, Yeah, and he actually drove a Chevy Equinox, likely front wheel drive.

00:33:43
Speaker 4: To be fair, he sells houses, not cars.

00:33:46
Speaker 5: So that's true.

00:33:47
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:33:48
Speaker 6: Apparently if your rear wheel spin rind, that makes it a front wheel drive.

00:33:53
Speaker 2: That's what That's what I got then, Okay, see I thought that meant rear rear wheel. If your wheels are the ones doing all the turning, it would have made a career wheel drive. But my rear wheel.

00:34:05
Speaker 6: That's enough of you saying rear wheel. One person rights mad, I'm a ups driver and I'm out right now I'll take up for Ryan like this, Well, he probably could get out. I would argue you shouldn't get out because a lot of the neighborhoods are still terrible.

00:34:23
Speaker 2: That's like I said, if I can get to Greendale or Leastown or I'm fine, but just getting there from my house is what's gonna be the trick.

00:34:30
Speaker 6: Yeah, So our football real quick, our football transfer class. This kid we got from Washington State. What's his name, Ryan David Gusta.

00:34:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'm really not for sure how to pronounce his last name.

00:34:44
Speaker 6: Well, he's from Washington State. ESPN has him ranked as the twenty second best player overall in the portal. He is our highest ranked player we've gotten, and on three now has this is having the eighth highest class in the portal. So I know it's hard to be positive or excited about football right now.

00:35:03
Speaker 5: I totally get that.

00:35:05
Speaker 6: But it looks like the portal.

00:35:08
Speaker 5: Has been successful. And I had one person that does football recruiting nationally say to me, Matt, if you take out the loss of Dame Key because this person thought that was an important loss. Then if you.

00:35:21
Speaker 6: Take that out, Kentucky has significantly improved their football team based on last year. Now this person thought the key loss was Shannon Key actually, but you know, so that gave me some positivity Ryan that even though we don't know who these players are, you know, they got two of the top fifty guys. The lineman from Bowling Green offensive lineman was a top fifty guy, and then this kid from Washington State. You know, again, we won't know and it's hard to get excited, but at least there's some positivity, positive news about the football transfer class.

00:35:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, you think just in the transfer portal, they got potentially five and starting offensive lineman, potential starting quarterback, potential starting running back, a receiver, these guys on defense you're talking about. So, yeah, there is a lot of new faces that should get you a little excited about what they could do next year.

00:36:12
Speaker 6: Would you feel better if the quarterback was somebody that was highly touted or would you say, well, we've gotten a highly toouted guy the last two years and it hasn't even worked.

00:36:23
Speaker 2: I guess we just got to put our trust in Bush and he got the guy that he thinks can fit his system the best, because even though we were all excited about Vandergriff last year, it just didn't. It just didn't work this season as well. We thought it was going to Learry was kind of the same way.

00:36:38
Speaker 6: I mean, I guess everything is just wait and see with these portals.

00:36:41
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:36:41
Speaker 6: I will say though, that stat about did I tell you that the stat about the did we talk about yesterday about the four teams in the playoff and where their players came from?

00:36:52
Speaker 4: I think no, we didn't.

00:36:53
Speaker 6: Okay, So I saw a stat I want to say, of the of the four teams that are in the playoff, the twenty five starters so basically offense, defense, special teams. Of the four teams, that's one hundred players. That ninety two of the hundred started with that program.

00:37:13
Speaker 2: Wow, no kidding, that's a lot.

00:37:16
Speaker 5: Wow, that's a lot.

00:37:19
Speaker 6: And it kind of goes counter to this idea you can just get everything you want in the poor. Now I haven't checked those numbers. That number may be off by just a little bit, but it was still a significant amount of people in these poor in these.

00:37:31
Speaker 5: Classes started with these programs.

00:37:34
Speaker 2: So so for the people that want to say, you know, recruit and develop. That gives them a little strength in their argument.

00:37:40
Speaker 5: Now for sure.

00:37:41
Speaker 6: I mean in football it's even more important than basketball, which I actually think that's probably true, to be honest, because in basketball, if you get a star as a freshman, he's gone.

00:37:50
Speaker 5: But in football, star as a freshman still has to stay.

00:37:54
Speaker 6: So maybe, uh, you know, maybe actually getting your own guys is the key to do it. Who's up next, Mac Mac? Go ahead, Mack.

00:38:07
Speaker 10: Matt, Hey, guys that we're doing well.

00:38:10
Speaker 5: Thank you.

00:38:11
Speaker 10: These current weather conditions y'all are dealing with, I think just the sign. And you guys shouldn't move out to Colorado.

00:38:18
Speaker 5: You don't have to deal with No, you all have snow, don't you.

00:38:21
Speaker 6: I feel like Colorado they have the ski slops. Don't you all have snow too?

00:38:26
Speaker 7: Yeah?

00:38:27
Speaker 10: Man, but it's like the nice dry snow, no ice, so you can drive things, stay open, you can get your kangaroo tacos.

00:38:36
Speaker 5: So you don't have you all don't have ice in Colorado.

00:38:42
Speaker 10: No, No, it's like a dry snow. I mean I mean occasionally, but not like not like in Kentucky. I grew up in Virginia, so I know it's like like every time it snows, it's really wet. But yeah, man, well out here it's always fun.

00:38:54
Speaker 6: Yeah, but they would be hard to do Kentucky sports radio shading in Colorado that would be a little bit more.

00:39:00
Speaker 5: That would be a little bit more difficult. But yeah, anything else.

00:39:03
Speaker 4: Fifty people in four Collins.

00:39:06
Speaker 7: That's why I was there in foro cons.

00:39:08
Speaker 10: Glad you guys came through.

00:39:09
Speaker 5: Well, I appreciate it, thank you very much.

00:39:12
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I mean we get One of the things about Kentucky is I do think you get.

00:39:16
Speaker 5: Chinned like every kind of weather.

00:39:18
Speaker 6: It gets really hot here in the summer, we get snow, we get rain. You know. I feel like this is a place where you get everything. I don't know how many places are like that in America, where you get like every season.

00:39:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, you get a beautiful spring, a beautiful fall, and then like you may end up with a winter where you actually can see some snow.

00:39:36
Speaker 3: Well, they always say about it, like if you don't like the weather to stick around, is that what they say, because it's it's gonna change about next week.

00:39:42
Speaker 4: You'll get a completely different No.

00:39:44
Speaker 6: I mean, Kentucky is one of like I think we get everything. I'm not sure how many places get everything. We get everything here, and I do think that's kind of a cool thing. Who's next, Joseph, Joseph, what's up, Joseph?

00:39:59
Speaker 11: Hey man, I appreciate kicking my call. I gotta ask anything, legal question, but real fast. You know, if you watch like Monday Night football, a lot of those starters, say what college they went to? A lot of them went to mid major colleges more than you think. Yeah, you hear the names right off there, So I don't mind taking.

00:40:17
Speaker 6: I don't know if that'll still be the case in ten years because I think a lot of those mid majors will play their final year in a big school. But it may be we'll see.

00:40:27
Speaker 11: And my legal question is, you know, if you have someone.

00:40:31
Speaker 12: Park in your parking lot and they don't utilize your business lot, sometimes the business will have them towed away.

00:40:39
Speaker 11: Yes, and I get that because they're not patronizing your business.

00:40:42
Speaker 12: But what if you toe someone's car that is patronizing your business?

00:40:48
Speaker 11: Explain to me how that's not.

00:40:50
Speaker 6: You still can because like the owner of the lot, it's a private lot. They don't have to let anyone park there. Now, I mean it's bad business to tope people that were in your business, clearly because it'll make people not want to come. But from a legal perspective, you know, you're not entitled to park anywhere in a private lot. So I mean most businesses, if they do it mistakenly, a lot of them will try to do something to make you feel good.
