We just keep showing up for work, but today's a little different. Royn's let me drive the show. Ron's been very busy lately. He's actually filled in for me a couple of times. I was supposed to do two postgame shows, ended up having to sub out midgame and call you in. Then this week it is just the two of us, as the rest of the crew is on vacation, so I thought, you know you hosted Monday and Tuesday. I'll take a little bit off your plate. I know you're excited to get into the new year, so thank you for letting me drive, Ryan Lemon and as always, brought to you by TJ Smith, personal injury attorney. What will TJ do?

To our listeners out there, we want to hear from you today as we kind of kind of close the book on twenty twenty five, Ryan, we're gonna recap it a little bit with some some favorite moments and just close the door on that year and look forward to twenty twenty six.

00:01:45
Speaker 2: That's why I think it's good you're hosting this last show of twenty twenty five because you're ready to get in the review mirror and move past it and get into twenty twenty six. Been ups, and down for a lot of us this past year. So twenty twenty five, sayonaro, baby, get out of here.

00:01:58
Speaker 3: Get out of here. Twenty twenty five more downs and ups, but still have a decent year overall. But I look forward to a few bourbons tonight around midnight to close the door on that. But we want to hear from the callers what they liked about twenty twenty five. Maybe some resolutions, maybe some plans. Whatever you want to bring up, bring it up on the Clark's Pumping Shop phone line at five o two to at two to eighty eight seven. And we also have the a Vision class text machine.

00:02:22
Speaker 2: I've got it right here.

00:02:23
Speaker 3: Okay, here we go, five oh two, yeah, seven, yeah, thirty five, thirty.

00:02:29
Speaker 2: Six, yes, eighty See his rolls off the tongue.

00:02:32
Speaker 3: It does. Hey, remember what else do I have to check off the list? We got any calls the day, Tweets of the day, shout out Whiskey Thief. I'll just shout them forever.

00:02:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, why not. We'll give Whiskey Thief both the call of the day, Tweet of the day, Text of the day. They're good buddies, they'll do it that and Ryan Lemon you.

00:02:46
Speaker 3: I'm told you booked us a guest and as we were starting the show and the intro music was playing, you were going to confirm before I promoted it. Yeah, there have been any updates in the last three minutes since you were checking.

00:02:56
Speaker 4: No.

00:02:57
Speaker 2: I sent him a text to see if he's coming. I have full copy. He'll be here, JP ble h. He's been on the show every once in a while, but really not kind of in a guest role. Remember the one time we were doing the show downtown he was having to walk by, what'd you come join us for a minute? So Jp'll be here. And he was really involved with Coach Cal those last couple of years with the inn I l and trying to get involved in that end of it. So he's uh, he's got a different perspective on a lot of this.

00:03:22
Speaker 3: He does very successful post basketball. You know, yesterday you went with the twin tower lineup had two seven footers and Jobey Hall would have loved that show you did yesterday. Now we're bringing in a guard to help our roster with some reminiscing on old Wildcat memories.

00:03:35
Speaker 2: I think people like Willy in the first hour and Wound a second ar two completely different personalities, yet both very likable guys. People. You know that some people said after the show, I named my cat Willie. I lame my cat Callie because of Willie Coulsteyn. That's both those guys were beloved by our fan base.

00:03:53
Speaker 3: And speaking of Willie, I see you're wearing that nice hat he gave us. Good on you. Is that one that I can just expect to see you wearing all the time.

00:03:59
Speaker 2: It's the one leaving my car. So you know I on a good hair day, I won't wear it, but a bad hair day, I'm bringing it out. I also got my Manny T shirt on you gave me yesterday T shirt.

00:04:09
Speaker 3: You got two free things yesterday and you're already warning of this is.

00:04:12
Speaker 2: This pullover came from Dane Key.

00:04:14
Speaker 3: So let's what about the pants? Do I even want to know? Gift from Yoga Girl. Okay, there we go. Shout out Yoga Girl. Also shout out. We have a good crowd here today for wings Day, Caspar and Girl. I went around the room asking them where they're all from, thinking we'd have a lot of variety. We have two tables from Marion County. Yes, I think they rode together, shout out hand Days and Lebanon, one of our favorite stops.

00:04:34
Speaker 2: I am the hog calling champion of ham Days right now, I have the trophy to prove it.

00:04:38
Speaker 3: No spoilers, but that could pop up on our memories of twenty twenty five the show.

00:04:42
Speaker 2: All right.

00:04:43
Speaker 3: Then I went around the rest room and everyone else is just local, including just right down the street. So we have a lot of Lexington and Marion County in the house today.

00:04:50
Speaker 2: Yeah. Their first two tables were Marion County. Next two tables were like, we're by Palamar, Like all Palomar is coming into the show today. But you know this is this is a good good day at the end of the year, the new year starting next year, we want to start fresh because next year it could be a whole new ball wax with the nil. Yeah, I'll tell you it's an old friend with the nil coming around. All these changes, basketball, football, new coach. So I mean twenty twenty six has a lot to look forward to.

00:05:16
Speaker 3: I think, yes, in twenty twenty five was a big year of change. I gave you homework as I did. I got my homework. We did lots of show prep. I sent you I wanted your top five football memories, yes, top five basketball, yes, top five ksryes and I forgot to include this, so maybe we'll do it on the fly. But other UK things, you know, volleyball being a big way the non football basketball. Sorry I'm dropping that on you now. We'll do it in the second hour, Okay, but remember that if you will.

00:05:44
Speaker 2: I got it. I've got my homework ready, I did, I did my assignment. Oh. JP Blevins confirmed.

00:05:49
Speaker 3: Look at that breaking news watching on JP. Blevans will join.

00:05:53
Speaker 2: Us at eleven o'clock.

00:05:54
Speaker 3: Okay, we'll talk a little bit about his time with Tubby. He had some big moments his time as a high school legend around here, met CAF County committed.

00:06:01
Speaker 2: To Rick Patino when he was like a sophomore, and then Patino leaves. Tubby brought in kept you in that class. That's a heck of class. If I can remember, it was Tayshaun Prince, Desmond, Allison, Jules Kamara, JP Blevans, Todd Tackett, Boom.

00:06:13
Speaker 3: You nailed it those five. I know that because Ryan Lemon. At five am this morning, I was doing show prep five am. I woke up and you know, sometimes you wake up and you just no, this is one of those. I'm just up. It was still dark. I rolled over my phone said four fifty nine. I thought, let's just go and get a hit start of the day. And I did a lot of JP Blevans research he did. That's why I'm glad he's here.

00:06:34
Speaker 2: Good.

00:06:34
Speaker 3: So before the sun was up, I'm online reading about J. P. Blevans. That's why I can confirm that was the recruiting class. And I have some stories from JP's pass that might even blow his mind.

00:06:43
Speaker 2: Very cool.

00:06:43
Speaker 3: I'm glad he followed through. Otherwise that hour and a half of my coffee would.

00:06:46
Speaker 2: Have been wasted, totally wasted.

00:06:47
Speaker 3: But I do want to talk a lot about New Year's Eve to get a started. It is New Year's Eve. You were supposed to bring the party for the hats and no next time. We'll get up next year. This is your year reminder for next year to bring those. But I just want to learn about what how Ryan Lemon celebrates your favorite traditions first and foremost. I think our audience would like to know, and we all have a pretty good guess. Will you even be awake at midnight tonight?

00:07:10
Speaker 2: I'll be awake may not make it much past midnight, but we're going to Rodney's or elsewhere.

00:07:16
Speaker 3: I was gonna guess Rodney's for a free meals, Rodneys.

00:07:18
Speaker 2: For New Year's Eve, and then and going to Thinks the friend's house, play some games, maybe sing a little karaoke, maybe get my New Year's Eve kiss, and then go to bed.

00:07:26
Speaker 3: So you're you're at the party in type.

00:07:28
Speaker 2: I'm for about ten straight years the New Year's Eve party was at my house. I hosted it. So we were up till three four, kicking people out of five in the morning, a lot of time.

00:07:40
Speaker 3: So let's just go ahead. Let's just go to Ryn's Limon's house party so you don't do them anymore because we're old old, okay, not too old to go out and party.

00:07:47
Speaker 2: Then be your free run. I want to host it. Don't want of these people staying at my house with three or four in the morning.

00:07:51
Speaker 3: Let's say it's fifteen years ago, Okay, is that far enough back? When was it maybe the wildest? I want to know the peak of the new parties?

00:07:58
Speaker 2: Fifteen years ago? I walked me through.

00:07:59
Speaker 3: I just I just walked into your house. It's about eight o'clock I brought my own bottle of cheap bourbon and wine.

00:08:05
Speaker 2: What am I?

00:08:06
Speaker 3: What am I looking at?

00:08:07
Speaker 4: Uh?

00:08:07
Speaker 2: There was a I guess I should not use the names, protect the innocent.

00:08:12
Speaker 3: Understand times have changed. We've all different friends, different relationships. I get it. You have to use names so you know.

00:08:17
Speaker 2: There was a good friend of mine I worked with a Channel eighteen. Her name leould say, we'll call her Harry Joe Harry.

00:08:23
Speaker 5: Moa love that Uh that possibly be brought the little test two bottles of Alabama Slamma okay, and those ended up vomited all over my floor, all over my bathroom, in my kitchen sink.

00:08:40
Speaker 2: It was ended up being an awful, disgusting evening. After the Alabama Slammas were concerned.

00:08:47
Speaker 3: Were multiple people participating in this vomiting?

00:08:50
Speaker 2: Yes? And then were they spiked?

00:08:52
Speaker 3: Did she poison him?

00:08:54
Speaker 2: I don't know what they were in. I I stayed away. I don't even rember I even had one, but I know a lot of people tasted them as they came back out later on that evening.

00:09:02
Speaker 3: Were you on clean up duty? Since? Yes, I was.

00:09:04
Speaker 2: I was on clean up duty in my plants outside.

00:09:07
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, this is not where I expected this to go, but then again I kind of did.

00:09:11
Speaker 2: It was everywhere.

00:09:12
Speaker 3: So what's the food spread at a Ryan Lemon New yr' z e party? Do people potluck, bring her own or do you provide the meal?

00:09:18
Speaker 2: I think it's just a lot of alcohol, no food whatsoever. It's just you know you're coming at nine ten eleven o'clock. You know you're already you've already eaten, you're coming in for the after party. So why do I don't think we ever had any food ever at all?

00:09:31
Speaker 3: So you're cleaning up food all over your house that they had eaten before and then they brought.

00:09:35
Speaker 2: Yes, comb it up. Yeah, the red Alabama slimmer stained one of my carpets upstairs where it got people threw up. It was bad.

00:09:42
Speaker 3: I can see why you canceled these. Now you go to other houses and do this. Did you participate in any of the traditions, anything in particular that you had to have out a certain food or drink. No, maybe certain music. No, you just want everybody come black out and throw up and go.

00:09:54
Speaker 4: No.

00:09:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, we celebrate you know Eastern time, Central time, Mountain time, Pacific time. Then by that time use everybody's ready to go home, get out.

00:10:01
Speaker 3: Of here Pacific time. Also, yeah, I got one more New Yor's eat story. Please tell all of them. This was the millennium. Oh, this was a big one.

00:10:10
Speaker 2: So from nineteen ninety nine to two thousand, Remember, we all thought the world was gonna shut down. We thought the banks were going to falter. We had to go take money out of the ATM the day before because we all thought the country was going to shut down at midnight on the of that January first, two thousand. So I did the sports that night at Channel eighteen, got off the set and where the party was not at my house as yet, it was it somebody else at my friend's house in Palomar, of all places.

00:10:36
Speaker 3: Shout out Palamar. I think three of our tables here.

00:10:39
Speaker 2: From Tom driving from Channel eighteen to Palomar on New Circle Road going probably and I'm not kidding you, one hundred and twenty miles an hour.

00:10:46
Speaker 3: Hold on, you don't have to confess this.

00:10:49
Speaker 2: Well, I got you're a role.

00:10:51
Speaker 3: Model for the public. And then we have children here, they are youth listening.

00:10:55
Speaker 2: I know it was one hundred and twenty because the police officer told me it was one hundred twenty. Oh boy, all right, he said, what are you doing. I'm like, I'm trying to get to my house for the Millennium to celebrate New Year's with my family, and my everybody's waiting up on me. My boys are waiting up on me. He actually let me go, and I've seen that guy since then, and I thanked him profusely. He could have gotten me. I could have been thrown in jail. I guess reckless driving, speeding, But yeah, I got pulled over a New Circle Road going about one hundred and twenty. Even after he pulled me over, I still made it by midnight on the Millennium.

00:11:24
Speaker 3: You know, when I was up this morning thinking about what we could talk about, and I thought, I bet Ryan's got some good New Year stories. I didn't expect utter chaos. Hu, it's just people vomiting going your home. Yeah, you tripling the speed limit on New Circle Road? Is this just the purge? What should we expect tonight?

00:11:38
Speaker 2: Well, you know, now I'm almost sixty years old. Did I to dinner, New Year's Kiss, go to bed, go to sleep.

00:11:44
Speaker 3: I know your feeling of trying to get there to watch the ball drop you know, as I'm showing here today with you, we have a hard work ethic. We work on holidays. Oh, absolutely, And I used to work at Kroger. Yes, courtesy clerk. Actually I was all the jobs. I was even assistant dairy manager which Croger at the car wash produce which Kroger? Madisonville?

00:12:01
Speaker 2: Oh, in Madisonville? Okayah, we only had one got you.

00:12:02
Speaker 3: It had a number alan Ford Road, what ever you wanna call it? Third shift stock, I did third U scan. If you came through that U scan, you went through.

00:12:10
Speaker 2: Oh you had to prove.

00:12:11
Speaker 3: But two years in a row. Work in New Year's Eve, I think we closed maybe eleven. Had to finish my duties. Get the carts in, yeah, you know, straight in the green beans, get store front looking good, and maybe not one hundred and twenty on New Circle, but breaking some speed limits to get there, walking in right at eleven fifty nine, as everyone has already been, party made it quite a bit. Yeah, I made it, and uh, you know, stayed a little out of trouble. Not many as wild as you. I've been to Vegas, Nashville, a couple of big cities for New Years, but nothing like what I think you've been putting on.

00:12:39
Speaker 2: On all of our big trips. We've never been on the road on New Year's Eve.

00:12:41
Speaker 3: I guess actually we do, which is part of our next segment. I have more New Year's Eve memories with kson. Okay, I can't believe you don't remember some of them. But then again, I understand why you don't remember them with the way you've been behaving on the holiday.

00:12:53
Speaker 2: I mean, there are stories that probably can't be told that happened at my house on those New Year's Eve part they were, Oh, I got another good one. I just thought of this one. Please again. I will change the names to protect and so let's just climb ronde and down.

00:13:07
Speaker 3: Do we need to hear far Marion County friends here.

00:13:10
Speaker 2: It was like four degrees outside, and we decided to go out, take our clothes off in our boxer shorts, sit on the tailgate of a truck and sing the It's what's that song? Uh, Dan Cummins, deal that song? Let me tell you, yeah, let me tell you that's it?

00:13:28
Speaker 6: Yeah?

00:13:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, yeah. It was a Dan Cummings vehicle. So we said, just thought it would be a good idea to do that and send it to him the next day and how'd that go? I don't think it went over very well.

00:13:37
Speaker 3: Was that a tequila bourbon? Or were the Alabama.

00:13:39
Speaker 2: Slavers that was? And maybe at the time I was making margaritas with bourbon.

00:13:45
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, for those stories and more just like those, I think we have a lot more to unpack there. Let's pull back more layers of that onion with the Ryan's News Eve Stories. We want to hear your New Year's Eve stories and memories from twenty twenty five on the Clark's popa Chop phone line five O two O two to eighty seven, and we have Rick and Studio. Rick, you've probably had a couple of glasses of wine on New Year's Eve at time or two, maybe even this morning, who knows. We'll check in with you too. We'll be right back on KSR Live from CHS Bar and Grill. Welcome back to KSR and Drew Franklin here with Ryan Lemon at KS Bar and Grill on Wednesday, getting kind of a full house here before you start service and officially opened the doors. Good to see everybody game. We got friends from Marion County, Lexington and my good buddy Ryan here as the rest of the crew takes vacation. As we've mentioned earlier this week, they just they just left us all with four of them. At one time, we got mad at a mystery location. Yes, I did a zoom with him for an hour and a half. Didn't know where he was. He wouldn't tell us. So he's up to something.

00:14:40
Speaker 2: He was on ESPN Radio yesterday here.

00:14:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's still doing those obligations. Just took a break from here. Shannon still in Panama City. Yes, I ran intomorrow yesterday, so he hasn't gone far. Stayed here to work after the show. I was just sitting here tayping and Mario came in and taking pictures for social media. I thought, aren't you on vacation. Yea, he said, well I need a picture of a buffalo rap And I'm like, surely you have a photo somewhere of a buffalo rap that you could have just done this from home. But nope, still working hard on his vacation. Although he told me he's going to Atlanta, big big trip to Atlanta. Okay, I don't know if it's top secret, sorry Mario, but maybe a boys trip. I don't know, it's taking a gop so you know, he's got a vacation, so he is gonna step away, even though I caught him working in Billy, I think he's off. What's he doing.

00:15:23
Speaker 2: I think they were spending some time in Oldham County with his family.

00:15:26
Speaker 3: Family time, he and Marissa. I've also seen Billy doing a little cover zero. And then this morning, on the way over here, I turned on the pre show like I always do part of my morning routine, and Billy was mid sentence talking about Severe Wheeler looking good at Big Blue Madness. And I know they're both off, but why were they playing a show that was talking about Severe Wheeler.

00:15:44
Speaker 2: Well, that was their first ever show. You may have missed the beginning.

00:15:48
Speaker 3: Okay, I did miss the very beginning. Rearly threw me for a loop.

00:15:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, their first ever KSR pre show. They replayed it this morning.

00:15:55
Speaker 3: So that was an interesting pick. Now it makes more senseince their first one, because after they were talking about Wheeler looking good, they debated if I guess it was ty Ty Washington or c J. Frederick would be the better three point shooter c J. Frederick, And how Cali Perry's State of the Union at Madness was getting a little stale, and he used the teleprompters. I do remember that that's what I was listening to all the way, And now it makes more sense that it was their first show. I just thought they drew one out of the hat because none of that was topically.

00:16:21
Speaker 2: Early in the earlier on the show, they were talking about Will Levis. They'd just played Georgia and football, and Will Levis had a good game against Georgia. That's one of the games that kind of got him drafted. The pro scouts thought he did so well against the Georgia defense. They were talking about that game.

00:16:33
Speaker 3: Some of these best ofs are a bad look. I get nervous when we do him. I wish we'd just play Elevator music the Washington DC One of Us at the White House, which honestly is my favorite show that we've done, because of how uncomfortable that was with you doing the McConnell personation in the press room. I don't think there's been anything in my life that's made me that uncomfortable. It was a full room of people we recognized from television. The President was about to come out and do some state of something on the fly. I was being scheduled that morning for an hour later, and we did live KSR from that tiny room, and you ended the show not in your inside voice or your library voice, doing the McConnell so loud in front of these CNN, Fox, all these personalities.

00:17:16
Speaker 2: I remember what it was over I'm kind of looking around and they're all kind of side eye on me and looking at me a little bit, you know, like, what is this clown over here trying to do a little bit? But then I saw a couple of them kind of laugh, so I figured, okay, we must be okay, there must have been the impersonation has at least made a couple of people laugh.

00:17:30
Speaker 3: Well, the reason I brought that up for a best of is because we use it often because it's so funny. But in that best of, you ask me. You say they're thinking about Lynn Boden playing quarterback, and I just go off about how it is the stupidest idea of all time. It will never work. Why would we possibly put a wide receiver a quarterback? I think I call the coaching staff idiots And we play that about once a year, and we all know how that actually ended. Once Lynn Boden wents quarterback. So these best of shows sometimes have some pretty bad takes locked up in them.

00:17:57
Speaker 2: Yeah. I've heard one that we were all making our season predictions on stuff and like we had Kentucky football at nine and two and eight and three. Is that last year? Last year?

00:18:07
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think Matt at Shady Rays has a clip out there that he'd like to delete that turned out.

00:18:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, Rick, I hear.

00:18:13
Speaker 3: We already have some callers they want to celebrate the new year with us. Let's go to the phone lines.

00:18:16
Speaker 2: Okay, got Mike up first.

00:18:18
Speaker 3: Mike, thanks for calling in. What's up?

00:18:21
Speaker 4: God, taxes and rent like everything else.

00:18:25
Speaker 2: That's right.

00:18:28
Speaker 4: Uh, you was talking about the Alabama Slammers. I've heard of them. My granddaughter went to the University of Alabama. So uh, y'all, do realize any liquor when you drank it, when he goes down, it don't taste near as good coming back up, doesn't. Wow, what happened in twenty twenty five? That was good. Rich Brooks is gone. I mean, I hate seeing anybody lose their jobs. Mark Stews, Yeah, kentucka harvestop. Yeah, Kentucky mays some football game, that's.

00:19:02
Speaker 3: Just it, that's right. We appreciate the call, thanks for calling in. Uh, yeah, Rich Brooks has been gone about sixteen years. I think he met Mark Stoops there. He was happy about that ending in twenty twenty five. That was one of the big changes. And uh, these Alabama Slammers coming up again. We heard from our friends here they found something that they could have here today before this show was over.

00:19:21
Speaker 2: Sail still on sale. You can still get them, the Alabama Slammers.

00:19:24
Speaker 3: Would you say those things costs for shot per shot? We get fifteen shots for twelve bucks. I think that's what you were serving at your Knies pad.

00:19:32
Speaker 2: Seriously, we had probably had sixty of.

00:19:34
Speaker 3: Them, probably half the cost back then.

00:19:36
Speaker 2: Yes, then there are now sixty for six dollars. Probably I don't know what it was, but yeah, there were at least four cases of those things. They got drink that night.

00:19:43
Speaker 3: That sounds exciting. Maybe by the end the show we'll get some of these door dashed over here. Who's up next?

00:19:47
Speaker 2: Rick?

00:19:47
Speaker 7: Bob and Jamestown?

00:19:48
Speaker 2: Is there?

00:19:49
Speaker 4: Oh?

00:19:49
Speaker 3: Bob and Jamestown? Just who I wanted to hear from to close the year. What's up Bob? And I'll tell you now, I'm not gonna rough ma. Say whatever you want.

Speaker 3: Have a Bob all right. We appreciate the call, Bob. That was a little too normal. I wanted it to get weird. I was gonna let you say whatever you wanted, but thank you for the nice, nice message.

00:21:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna give you a hot take. Oh, I don't think Bob's calls are all that bad.

00:21:15
Speaker 3: I don't either, That's why I was excited to hear from him.

00:21:18
Speaker 2: Yes, when you let him talk, he's always got something kind of interesting to say.

00:21:22
Speaker 3: Very rarely does it have anything to do with what we've been talking about or anything going on in the world at that moment, But they're they're kind of like a little surprise.

00:21:30
Speaker 2: Like I'm tried, he didn't bring up the since santy rids or something, and he's phone call right then.

00:21:33
Speaker 3: I feel bad our good crowd here can't hear the callers. But Bob was very normal there. I surprised this with that one. Rick, Let's get one more in before the break.

00:21:41
Speaker 2: Got John up? Next?

00:21:43
Speaker 3: John, what's up?

00:21:46
Speaker 7: This may be more of a question for Matt, But if I wanted to start an NIL campaign to bring cam Coleman, how would I fund this studge without pissing off jm On.

00:21:56
Speaker 3: That's a great question. We appreciate the call. Uh, Ryan, I guess he trying to do an outside deal to get Cam Caleman here hot portal Target Portal opens on Friday.

00:22:05
Speaker 2: By the way, yes it does.

00:22:06
Speaker 3: I don't know if we can help with those solutions, but I like the attitude that'd be a good guy to get.

00:22:11
Speaker 2: You know, there's ways that fans can still donate I think can help out that situation. So yeah, there's ways that can be done. When on what he's wanted to do, just go do an individual sponsorship or something. I don't know if you can do.

00:22:22
Speaker 3: That part of it. At that same spot, quickly, were you sad to see that Troy Stlato is leaving Kentucky to go.

00:22:27
Speaker 2: To the portal? I didn't even know who choice a lotta was Matt.

00:22:30
Speaker 3: Matt tweeted that too. I didn't have a huge career Kentucky came from Clemson. Clemson big recruit. Yeah, injured, he came in to return punts and then got hurt and thinking practice right after that.

00:22:38
Speaker 2: So I played one game?

00:22:39
Speaker 3: Did he big portal news though? Yesterday? Oh no, he did play a game. I just said that he returned punts. Okay, yeah, sorry, sorry that you're gonna missed a lot of rip. You won't miss us. We'll be right back after the break. This is KSR Live from Chaos Bar and Grill. Welcome back to KSR. This is not Matt Jones. This is Drew Franklin filling in for Matt Jones, sitting next to my dear friend Ryan Lemon, letting him he's into the co pilot seat. Today. As I dropped the today, speaking of fly on the plane, a man just walked in with some aviators on. Had a big sweater with an American flag on it. He stuck his head and door and saluted us and walked out. What was that all about.

00:23:11
Speaker 2: I'm not sure what that was about. He didn't even want to didn't get all the way in the door. He just opened up the door, saluted us, and then left the aviators.

00:23:18
Speaker 3: The American flag and then the salute. I don't know, maybe feel like I was a part of something important, or I don't know, does he think for someone else? He just turned and went right back to his car and left. Maybe you were listening, thank you and salute to you as well.

00:23:30
Speaker 2: Maybe he was looking for JP Levins. He thought JP was already here today, not.

00:23:33
Speaker 3: Till eleven, but we're counting down to our big special guest. Uh, you know, speaking of America. By the way, do you know what's going on?

00:23:39
Speaker 2: He's coming back. He had to go get his wife, I think.

00:23:41
Speaker 3: Okay, he was making sure we're open. Okay, yeah, I'm good. Well go ahad have him, got a big crew with him. He was probably just checking. You know, we don't really open to eleven, but we let people in here today.

00:23:50
Speaker 2: He went out and got his wife to bring her in. Okay, okay, got a big crowd coming in now.

00:23:55
Speaker 3: Welcome in everybody, Welcome to our listeners. Back with KSR talking a little New Year's with Ryan. While we're on the subject of America and saluting America, Ryan, do you know what's big tonight? After the ball drops? Are you familiar with what we're doing at twelve? I believe four at am.

00:24:11
Speaker 2: That's when Andy Cohen and Don Lemon lose their mind intoxicated on the air.

00:24:17
Speaker 3: No, they will be intoxicated at about seven pm.

00:24:20
Speaker 2: That's true.

00:24:20
Speaker 3: That goes as usual. But tonight in New York, we have a double ball drop. What did you know there's a double ball drop? No, Why they are dropping it, raising it and dropping it again. Why we have a new ball. We'll talk about that in a minute. Brand new ball, okay, ninth to one since nineteen o seven, colorful, different shapes, Yeah, all kinds of stuff to learn about that. But at twelve oh four, we're celebrating America being two hundred and fifty. The ball is supposed to do something crazy.

00:24:48
Speaker 2: I don't really know.

00:24:49
Speaker 3: There're some technology, it's gonna be a surprise while they drop red, white, and blue confetti. So we're gonna celebrate twenty twenty six. Get your kisses in, do all that. Don't kiss for more than three minutes, because we got to get right back into place and do it all again at twelve oh four.

00:25:03
Speaker 2: And what happened at twelve oh four? The new ball dropped at twelve four.

00:25:06
Speaker 3: As far as I know this is you know this. You could double check this with some actual sources and get better details. But my understanding is we're doing the traditional ball drop, yes, twelve o'clock, Yes, but with a new ball Waterford crystals. But they're different shapes. Maybe you can do some colors, might play music, might have alexic capabilities. I don't know the specifics, but it's a new ball.

00:25:27
Speaker 2: Twelve o'clock.

00:25:27
Speaker 3: We count down sixty, the usual kiss da da. But at twelve oh four it goes back up and we do it all over again for America. You're just looking at me like I'm making this up. This is this is true per the Internet.

00:25:39
Speaker 2: I still don't understand why we're doing it twice.

00:25:41
Speaker 3: What we do well. America is turning two hundred and fifty. Did you know that?

00:25:45
Speaker 2: I did know that.

00:25:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, so some group has decided, while we're all together and focused and we have all this confetti, let's just celebrate again. It doesn't really make sense to me either, but that's what we're doing. I just completely put your head in a pretzel. You pace yourself. Now you have four extra minutes vomiting in the bushes to celebrate America at twelve or four.

00:26:05
Speaker 2: So there's you know, there are people standing in line right now wearing the adult diapers, so they can't they don't lose their spot peeing their pants all day long out there waiting for the first ball to drop. Now they gonna wait for the second bottle.

00:26:18
Speaker 3: Four extra minutes. Speaking of those people in diapers, I pulled up the Time Square live feed yesterday. They have one of those earthlink whatever you can just watch it at any moment there are already people out there. Yeah, that is that is the craziest all day. I love New York. I even will go mix it up in Time Square a little bit Christmas time. I'll go in there and elbow around at Macy's if I have to. But the Time Square crowd I want nothing to.

00:26:40
Speaker 2: Do with it. It looks like mayhem, no bathroom, no food. You know you got you put whatever you can and want drink and carry it around and hold it all day long. That's not for me.

00:26:49
Speaker 3: I saw that they just leave the subway doors open and you don't have to pay. They're like, just get on the train and please get out of here, to help with the flow. Get out of here, utter chaos. Ye tonight do you tune in for the oh?

00:27:00
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah? You know. It used to be Dick Clark that everybody used to watch Dick Clark going up. Then it came Ryan Seacrest. Then I think now you have to watch, like I said, Andy Cohen and Don Lemon, just because they get hammered all all night long.

00:27:12
Speaker 3: It's still Dick Clark's. Was it rocking New what's the name rocking something?

00:27:16
Speaker 2: So that sounds right.

00:27:17
Speaker 3: It's Dick Clark's Rocking New Year's with Ryan Seacrest. How did he get to keep his branding because it's been.

00:27:22
Speaker 2: Like fifty years of Maybe maybe that's exactly what it is.

00:27:26
Speaker 3: I also, I forgot before I got into all this, I was supposed to ask you who sponsored the segment. So we'll just go and do that. Yeah, I'll test you, make sure you're paying attention, because I know I completely three for a loop with the second ball drop at twelve or four.

Speaker 3: This is your fifty five of Dick Clark's Rock and Eve.

00:28:31

00:29:17
Speaker 3: Okay over on CBS. Wow if you want to, if you're a little tired of Clark in fifty five years and twenty one years of Seacrest about Nashville's Big.

00:29:25
Speaker 2: Bash, they had the country one.

00:29:27
Speaker 3: Yes, and Nashville has almost gotten as bad as as New York for all New Year's Eve. Yeah, just way too many people.

00:29:33
Speaker 2: Do they do a ball drop in Nashville too?

00:29:35
Speaker 3: I don't know. They probably put a bachelorette on a horse or throw around what are those things? Mechanical ball?

00:29:41
Speaker 2: Yes, what I was looking for.

00:29:42
Speaker 3: But tonight is hosted by h. Kreischer and Hardy is that Bert Krescher? It's gotta be What about Hardy? You a hardy guy? Because I'll tell you I saw Hardy in concert here at Reparena. Hardy for listening. I'm sorry, I'm sure a wonderful person. Easily the worst performance I've ever seen.

00:29:58
Speaker 6: Wow.

00:29:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, not good at all. Sorry, I know he's doing great things. He's hosting Nashville's Big Bash on CBS. It was not good, but I'm glad he sees he's climbing the latter since that day didn't reprehend.

00:30:09
Speaker 2: It well, Bert Kreischer, you know he's pretty popular. I mean, he'll get some people to tune in.

00:30:13
Speaker 3: Special correspondent Hailey Bailey will be checking in.

00:30:16
Speaker 2: Never heard of it?

00:30:17
Speaker 3: And this is me, I think, accepting that I'm old. I don't know any of these people. How about performances from al Dean, Laney Wilson and Bailey Zemerman. Does this entertain you? This is a lot of country. This isn't really my my scene.

00:30:28
Speaker 2: I've not heard of the first person, he said, Haley Wilson.

00:30:31
Speaker 3: Who'd you say, Laney Wilson?

00:30:32
Speaker 2: Laney, truly you've heard of her. I've heard of her.

00:30:34
Speaker 3: All right, we'll put a bow on that. So you're you're picking ABC over CBS.

00:30:37
Speaker 2: You have to, man. The Dick Clark special is kind of the tradition.

00:30:41
Speaker 3: Now, the one you've already mentioned that a lot of people like to tune in because they are breaking uh the old TV laws.

00:30:47
Speaker 2: Yes, all TV lives. They're drinking on live on the air on CNN.

00:30:50
Speaker 3: We have Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen and they are usually hammered.

00:30:54
Speaker 2: Yes, like you said, usually by seven o'clock.

00:30:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, they I don't know if they use a dumb button. You know, we weren't the quickest with our dumb buttons yesterday. I heard that we don't have to focus on that one. We don't look back where we look forward forward. But seeing n tonight, they might have a little colorful language that's not allowed on the air.

00:31:09
Speaker 2: Oh, there's no doubt those two guys get to go. I forgot. Yeah that Andy Collen is kind of the host, but Anderson Cooper's kind of joined him now instead of Don Lemon.

00:31:17
Speaker 3: Performances by Hugh Jackman, Kate Hudson. Uh, Hugh Jackman, the greatest Showman? Is that what he's doing.

00:31:22
Speaker 2: I guess he's gonna see sweet Caroline.

00:31:24
Speaker 3: You're you're a Broadway guy. Now you got to learn greatest Showman? Uh, Flo Rida, flow Rider, burn a Boy and cheek codes with see low Green.

00:31:33
Speaker 2: Well, I heard of sel Little Green, but I don't know who the other two people are.

00:31:35
Speaker 3: All right, so so far you're still sticking with Dick Clark.

00:31:38
Speaker 2: Those are the those are the three.

00:31:39
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do one more. I'm not just consider and read the TV schedule, so rank them though. You going Dick Clark, Dick Clark, more country, You're more drunk next drunk. Okay, so when Dick Clark's at commercial, you're going to see it in Well.

00:31:50
Speaker 2: After I see the ball drop, I'm probably turning straight to see it in Well.

00:31:54
Speaker 3: I left out my favorite. Yeah, running forth NBC. NBC is throwing his curveball this year. It's hosted by Hodah and Jenna Bush Hagary. I don't whatever are the are they the view? Which one is that?

00:32:04
Speaker 2: That's one of those shows morning shows?

00:32:06
Speaker 3: This is this is Shannon's channel. Yeah, this is what Shannon watches in the morning. We need Shannon here. Also, they're gonna have Snoop Dogg with them, because you cannot have anything without Snoop Dogg on NBC. So far, feel like a pretty good cast. Go though I don't do much Hoda in Jenna, this is where it gets good. I've been seeing a teaser. Keith Morris and Josh makeerwiz from Dateline or involve somehow what? Yep, they're bringing Dateline into the toast to twenty twenty five on NBC.

00:32:31
Speaker 2: Say it makes me want to tune in to see what they're gonna do.

00:32:34
Speaker 3: I don't know if we're gonna talk murder. I don't know if they're gonna be out on the street in diapers in New York. I don't know what to expect. Wow, But I am not shy about my love for Dateline. I think I watched three episodes last.

00:32:44
Speaker 2: Night last year.

00:32:45
Speaker 3: I just put on that live channel. Whatever is I need to I'll jump in the middle. I don't need to know their history. Someone died, let's figure out who it is. Who it is, But they are part of the NBC broadcast night. So there's my recap of what you can watch tonight.

00:32:56
Speaker 2: Well, like I said, that's that's the thing to do. Every New Year's Eve party will have the show. I have one of those shows on to count down to midnight to watch the ball drop whatever it is, and then usually most people turn it off, go to bit the country.

00:33:07
Speaker 3: One's running last for me? What about you? No offense to.

00:33:10
Speaker 2: Heart or do they just do Central Time if they're in nashvill Yeah.

00:33:13
Speaker 3: I guess they. They might acknowledge midnight in Eastern Time since it's on national television, but they won't do the fireworks.

00:33:19
Speaker 2: So it's not a bad idea. Get people to turn over to celebrate again Central time.

00:33:23
Speaker 3: I see you're just gonna work your way back.

00:33:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, and with of course there's Mountain Time in the Pacific Time at four in the morning, and.

00:33:28
Speaker 3: Then as you're cleaning up your Alabama Slammers, you can watch Gronk out in Vegas.

00:33:32
Speaker 2: That's it. See you keep doing it long long.

00:33:34
Speaker 3: We planned your night after Rodney's. We'll take a break here let Ryan rest up for his big New Year's Eve. But we still want to hear from you on the Clark's Pump Shop phone line five two two to eight seven. We still have our memories to get to.

00:33:48
Speaker 2: This is flying by. I can't wait. I got I racked my brain with your homework assignment, so I think I'm ready.

00:33:53
Speaker 3: And how many JP Blevin's questions did you bring to the talk?

00:33:55
Speaker 2: I could talk JP back at my day thought.

00:33:58
Speaker 3: So I didn't know if you're wanting me to duck you know, do the Matt give you one. We'll bounce back and just making sure you're locked in.

00:34:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, I could definitely be a part of that one.

00:34:06
Speaker 3: All right. Well, we'll have him at eleven. More New Year's talking. We'll get to a little bit of the news. It's a very not a newsy time with the big gap in basketball, but there are a few things we'll get to. This is KSR with Ryan and Drew. We'll be right back. Welcome back, KSR, Drew Franklin, Ryan Lemons. Thrown off by this music there. I wasn't sure this was an add or well, well, jamming to it right, yeah, Rick, playing the hits today, doing a good job. Rick, Maybe doll ups some New Year's music for us moving forward if you can, or maybe your favorite songs of twenty twenty five. We know you know the hottest hits in music today, but good job on that one.

00:34:38
Speaker 2: Rick.

00:34:38
Speaker 3: We appreciate you being here with us this week.

00:34:40
Speaker 2: It's good to be here, guys.

00:34:42
Speaker 3: It's good to be here with Ryan Lemon here at KS bar and Grill also out here this morning. Very good, crowdy, keep rolling in. We officially open in ten minutes for Wings Day. I might even stay in partake in wings Day a little bit, and then you can watch. We got the big playoff games Bowl season coming up. I had fun watching the Music City Bowl yesterday. He always like when Tennessee.

00:35:01
Speaker 2: Illo beat Tennessee again in Nashville.

00:35:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, they beat him by when we were there just a few weeks ago. Played the day after Kentucky los Kinzaga, Illinois two and oh against the balls in December, and that's pretty fun.

00:35:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, also fun.

00:35:13
Speaker 3: I seem to have blown a lot of minds with the second ball drop, yours included. People are telling me they didn't know this.

00:35:17
Speaker 2: No, I've never heard this, and I still don't know why they're doing it at a second time. Nothing special about the second time they're doing it.

00:35:23
Speaker 3: Well, let's make it even more confusing. They're gonna do it again in July. So we have two tonight. Yes, the first one is gonna be just just the white lights, the real one. Yeah, even though it's new, gonna be white, pretty standard. Probably have the year up there. We're all gonna sing all that. The next one reminder, it's gonna be red, white and blue. And there's gonna be red, white and blue confetti like two thousand pounds of it, according to today dot Com, just because because America's turned two hundred and fifty and then July third, they're gonna do it again. Now, if you were to ask me, which no one cares, seems like a little bit much. I don't know why we're doing it tonight when we're doing it again on July third, which is fourth of July eight. Yeah, maybe this is a test run, but everyone to be ready. Final reminder, four minutes after your kiss, we're kissing again.

00:36:16
Speaker 2: So as they're doing it July third, is that I guess the official anniversary two hundred fifty year anniversary.

00:36:21
Speaker 3: July fourth is what run women and Independence Day boom night before we're doing it at twelve.

00:36:26
Speaker 2: Yes, so there you go.

00:36:27
Speaker 3: Rick, Let's get some some phone calls. You said we have people on the line that want to ring in the new year with us.

00:36:32
Speaker 2: Yes, we got Gary on the line.

00:36:34
Speaker 3: Gary. What's up, Gary in Orlando?

00:37:08
Speaker 6: When people are.

00:37:09
Speaker 7: Sick and they're confined to a bed in a hospital and they just don't know what they're gonna do for twenty four hours while they're laying here, and you listen to KASR. Then if you fall asleep while you're listening, you listen to it again late that night, and then when you get ready to go to bed, you listen to it again. So chaosar gets us do a lot of it, and we all send each other text support texts and just want to say thank you, Ryan, thank you for plugging. I know you had a tough year two and last, but not Le's our Orlando group. We're going to make a trip down to Sarasota and watch the Tennessee game with those guys down there. It should be fun.

Been a rough year for a lot of us. We've all had health issues, family health issues, Gary included. But we're gonna get past it. Gonna be a good twenty twenty six. And thanks for the kind words about listening to the show.

00:38:11
Speaker 2: You know, we hear that lot and it's so humbling when people talk about, man, you help me get through a rough time or when I was in the hospital or had an illness or something. So man, it's just very humbling.

00:38:21
Speaker 3: Yep, speaking of it. We broke my mom out of the hospital yesterday, shout out and I got to go ahead. Actually like breakroun. We didn't like climb out a window with bed sheets tied together. They let her out. She finally got we got her home. So we did get some good news there right at the end of the year. Who's up next?

00:38:34
Speaker 4: For it?

00:38:35
Speaker 2: Read? Is up next?

00:38:36
Speaker 3: Read? Thanks for calling in.

00:38:39
Speaker 8: Hey, I'm a first caller. But I was wondering, so we know that or Alabama has their all American candidate for lawn, I was wondering, we need a primary person to guard him, primary defender to guard him. Who do you think that would be.

00:39:00
Speaker 3: Look at that Reed, thanks for the call. Young Balnoer there around and he's talking about Alabama's got the leading scorer in the conference who suffered a leg injury of a week ago. But in Pope's comments yesterday, Pope is planning on seeing him. I think nat Oates is kind of hinted that we'll see him. So on Saturday, we'll get the SEC's best in in filon. How do you think they should match up with him? He's six or four guard shooting like over fifty percent from from the field and forty percent from three. He's lighting it up.

00:39:27
Speaker 2: You'd think probably Aberdeen will probably get the first assignment on him, and they may trade him and Otaga off on it because he is. He's the best offpension player in the conference right now, so you gotta gotta pay it the special attention to him. Can't let him go off for thirty against you.

00:39:39
Speaker 3: No, and he's very capable of it. A lot of people thought he was gonna go pro last year. He was considered kind of fringe first round pick, and he shocked a lot of people by coming back to Alabama. So he's been an absolute stud. You know, Oway was the preseason Player of the Year, and we hope he'll still get to that point of the year. Agoes On, but Filon has been the story so far Alabama. They've got three or four losses, all good teams, and he's played well throughout the year up until that injury against Kennesaus State.

00:40:04
Speaker 2: This last what three or four game, we've seen the shades of the old old take it coming back, you know where he's a like you brought it up to start of the start of the season. Just get the ball and don't hesitate, go straight to the basket. He's doing that more often now. But he's also become a better defender. So I think you know, Filon may see both Aberdeen and o'take a both on him.

00:40:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, yesterday Pope had a press conference not too newsy. He talked a lot about Alabama. It was to preview that, but he also said they've had like practice three times in thirty six hours. They're they're getting in the two a days. That might even be a yeah, that's a two a day in another half a day there. So they're really getting after it. Even though it's it's quiet to us fans, behind the scenes, they're putting in a lot of work.

00:40:42
Speaker 2: What's a long break between the Bellmane game and the Alabama game. That's a long time without a game or a competition. So yeah, you got to do something to keep them, keep them sharp, you know, keep them fresh.

00:40:51
Speaker 3: His other big comment and all those practices, JQ has been playing the four. I know we've seen in a lot of five that seems like where he should be in college. But maybe on the quaintance end, they're wanting to get a little more show off, a little more offense than just being a put back, you know, be on the block guy. Uh So, I might see a little more two bigs with the acquaintance playing over at the four a little bit. That's the way they've been practicing this week. As Pope still messes with rotations and lineups.

00:41:14
Speaker 2: Well, he threw two bigs out there in the last couple of games. Saint John's game in the Belman game both played two bigs at the same time, whether it was Malachai and Garrison and Jayden and Quaintons. I think so. I think that's something they're gonna probably look to do. I thought he'd be the way around. I thought it'd be a quaintance maybe at the five. Maybe try to, you know, put Gainer Garrison at the four.

00:41:32
Speaker 3: I think it's a quaintance maybe looking for more opportunities in the offense so he can do a little more, you know, this day and age four or five, whatever the way they play. But uh, Pope made a point to say that in his comments yesterday. That's how they've been using them and we should expect that on on Saturday a little more. Maybe little Quaintance Marino together.

00:41:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I'm okay with that.

00:41:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, uh okay. With more KSRT coming up, J P. Blevans is here. He'll join us a right back talk about his time as a cat lots more. This is KSR on New Year's Eve,
